Last night I watched a program on the ABC on the slow movement. Titled Frantic Family Rescue, it detailed the efforts of three families to slow down the frantic pace of their lives, guided by journalist Carl Honoré. Honoré is the author of “In Praise of Slow” and an advocate of the slow movement.
The pressures of my frantic life are not a revelation to me, nor are my regrets about the toll on the life of my son during his formative years. For financial reasons it seemed that I had little choice as I tried desperately to support us in the face of inadequate employment and compensation. Perhaps I didn’t try hard enough, or explore alternative options but I am not interested in beating myself up over something that I can’t change now.
I am interested in making positive changes from here on however and am considering how I can make that happen, whilst still doing what I need to do. A key component of the experiment that was shown on television is the reduction of screen time. At a time when I am in the process of establishing an online-based business, that would appear to be a challenge, as of course is the whole concept of slowing down. I’m not prepared to put it in the too hard basket though.
Looking realistically at my day, I haven’t been using my time very effectively. Working from home can be an easy way of losing focus and succumbing to diversions. So … I am planning my day the evening before, making a realistic list of what needs to be achieved and am blocking out the time for the various tasks in my Outlook Calendar. I know that one can use Tasks for tracking but I have never found that it worked well for me. If anything I get irritated by the pop-ups, so Calendar it is. I’m starting each day with one of those irritating phone calls that I usually need to make – to banks or utility companies or whatever where you know that you will be confronted with layers of confusing menus and then put on hold for ages. Getting those calls out of the way early in the day and spreading them out over the days in the week is a sanity-saving strategy.
I am also scheduling some time away from the computer – i.e. weeding a patch of the garden, raking up the leaves, going for a walk. I am not blocking out 9-5 totally, as there needs to be flexibility in the day to allow for the unexpected, or tasks that arise during the day (thanks email). I am also alternating tasks so that I don’t get bored with the tedium and become less effective. I figure that if I can maximise my productiveness during the day, I don’t have to work on the business at night. I can read or joy or joys, I can work on the next novel manuscript.
An important part of my regime is going to bed at a reasonable time and this is going to take some working on. I know that I would benefit from more sleep. Supporting that goal is turning off screens at least half an hour before that so that I have wind-down time. OK, I know that there should probably be more screenless time, but I’m working on it – okay? It will just be checking emails and of course if I am working on the manuscript then probably I will have been typing.
Even more radical will be giving myself guilt-free weekends. In all of my home-based businesses in the past, I have worked on them every day, and have felt incredibly guilty when domesticity has taken me away from those tasks. Taking my weekends back feels incredibly self-indulgent but that’s what I am doing from now on.
My diversionary activity through the day is typically scanning through online media sites. When there is no water-cooler activity happening in your workspace, there is a craving for some interaction and information about what is happening in the world. My very first time block therefore is for reading the various sites. I am not going to stop doing it, but I’m going to contain it to a reasonable time slot.
The other activity that I have introduced is walking and no, I am not actually scheduling this one. This is first thing in the morning to blow away the cobwebs and to make a good start to the day. With our recent wintry and drizzly weather, gloves and raincoat are my friends but I am still walking. Sometimes I combine it with a supermarket trip so the car gets to stay in the drive. Saving fuel – woo hoo!
This is a time of transition for me and I think that my recent redundancy has probably given me a gift. What are your slow living strategies? Please share them here. What have the benefits been to you? I am interested in any tips you might have.

I loved this post. We seem to be walking a parallel path in many respects. I am enjoying my journey very much – I hope you are too!!
Thanks Heather. I am enjoying trying, but having just got back from a 3-day writers’ conference, I am a bit exhausted. The slow down still needs some work. I am all fired up after the conference though and keen to get stuck into my second book.

Liar Sarah Huckabee Sanders: Stop Calling Me A Liar!
Tucked within a fresh New York Times Magazine piece by Mark Leibovich about the White House press office is a gem of an encounter between the author and White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
Fact check: True. And Sanders here hints at Serious Journalists’ reservations about pointing out that difference. We can’t know what’s in her heart, can we??? To take this logic a step further: She’s no liar, but rather the most poorly informed White House press secretary in recent history, if not ever. At least she’s trying!
No one would argue that a person’s integrity isn’t of paramount importance, I said. But I asked Sanders if there is a danger in linking your integrity to a president who might not always be known for accuracy. There have been many instances where the president has not told the truth, I said.
“But you’re asking about me,” Sanders said, not challenging the premise.
That is the tell. And for those acquainted with Sanders’ body of work, the willful ignorance is familiar: How many minutes of a press briefing go by without some variation of “I haven’t talked to the president about that,” or “You’ll have to ask someone else”? If we assume, for a moment, that those are good-faith non-answers, they mean that Sanders is merely failing at a core part of her powerful and well-compensated job, and apparently avoiding every opportunity to change. The repetition of it all connotes the same sort of final, negative judgement of her integrity as the L Word That Must Not Be Spoken.

On the verge of a 25th anniversary reunion album and tour with Magnum, Bob Catley releases another solo album. Based on Tolkien's Lord Of The Rings Catley has once again surrounded himself with members of AOR band Ten (Gary Hughes, Vinny Burns, Steve McKenna) augmented by Dante Fox drummer Jon Cooksey.
Already the opener "The Wraith Of The Rings" continues where Magnum and Hard Rain left off, featuring some astonishing guitar work from Vinnie Burns. That same inventive guitar playing is omnipresent during "Emissary," also sporting some great synth tunes as well as neatly timed percussive breaks. Next to his backing band, Catley only uses one guest on the entire album and that's Landmarq vocalist Tracy Hitchings during "Against The Wind." Obviously the two know each other from the Jabberwocky project and numerous activities at the Thin Ice studios. Here Tracy adds a certain Celtic feel to her singing which to my liking is mixed a bit too far in the back.
For a song as "grand" as "Where You Lead I'll Follow", certainly Gary Hughes should have used a grand piano instead of the cheap sounding toy piano he serves here. For a demo this would be OK, but for a finished album it certainly doesn't do the end result any justice, especially as this is a very well crafted song. It blends nicely into "Stormcrow And Pilgrim," which is based on the same melody but more powerful, more rock dominated, making it the pinnacle of this new album, what with Bob's singing being very theatrical. Another powerful concert favourite certainly has to be the melodic "Return Of The Mountain King." Another strong melody forms the nucleus of "The End Of The Summer." Based around Galadriel, the vocals follow the pattern as laid out by the piano. The album closes with the ballad "The Fellowship" which comes across as a traditional Irish folk tune backed by a classical arrangement.
Middle Earth is a much better album than Legends and gets closer to the Magnum feel. However, I would have loved to hear more authentic acoustic instruments such as violin and cello on this album as opposed to the synthesized sounds present. Sometimes restricted budgets can be a nuisance. Here it results in making Middle Earth sound like a "middle of the road" album. An opportunity missed.

A RURAL crime seminar in Gisborne was told that ingenious professionals, and not just thieves involved in backyard slaughter, have been stealing stock in this region, at times on a commercial scale.
The perpetrators had a knowledge of farming, access to dogs, probably had farm work experience and worked at night, the meeting heard.
About 30 farmers, farm administrators and others attended a seminar last week at the BDO offices, sponsored by FMG in partnership with Federated Farmers, AgFirst and the police.
Matawai police officer Constable Mutu Noanoa gave a presentation based on a project police have carried out on crime trends including stock theft.
“There have been 351 incidents of reported stock theft here in the past five years and it has involved $500,000-plus worth of stock each year.
“At certain times of the year a major crime ring operates in the district on stock theft and it’s commercial-scale theft, not just backyard theft,” Constable Noanoa said.
The people who did it commercially really knew what to do, he said.
The commercial thieves were “ingenious”, he said.
“They have more time on their hands than you and I, and stock theft is what they do. It’s all they do.
“They have a working knowledge of the farming industry, so they might be either current or past farm workers.
“They have access to dogs. A thief with one good dog can round up 100 sheep easily at night and steal the lot,” Constable Noanoa said.
“They might even have legitimate outlets for the meat they steal and some might even run a legitimate business in the farming community.
Constable Noanoa said smaller-scale backyard thieves also had a network to disperse the meat they steal.
The seminar discussed a range of issues involving stock theft and rural crime in general, and talked about measures being taken to curb it.
Constable Noanoa pointed to the success of the Whatatutu community safety project that involved installation of cameras and signage to crack down on rural crime in that district.
“There has been a 33 percent reduction in all crime in the Whatatutu and Te Karaka areas since the project was acted on.
“It has empowered that community and is a simple, repeatable model that works.
Seminar participants divided into a couple of workshop groups for a general discussion on rural crime and stock theft in particular.
“There is greater awareness of the value of surveillance cameras now, because they work,” said one seminar participant, who gave an example of how a camera had led to an offender.
Police said it was important to get the right sort of camera.
There was talk about the need for better communication between rural residents to help each other keep an eye out for thieves.
“Neighbourhood watch — if you are on the same road, be on the same page,” police said.
Facebook and social media were cited as places farmers could go to find out more.
Police urged farmers to report every time they had something stolen, no matter how big or small the theft was.
“Even the little things help build up a picture of what’s happening crime-wise in an area," police said.
“Please do not think it’s not worth reporting it."
“Make all of your assets as hard to steal as possible,” said Federated Farmers rural security spokesman Rick Powdrell.
The comment was made that the rural community had to help police do their job, not just leave it up to them.
FMG Insurance spokesman Scott Kahle said in the past five years his company had dealt with $1.5 million in theft claims from farms in this district.
“That was 7 percent of the total number of claims nationally for rural burglary and theft totalling $24.2 million.
“That is just claims with FMG customers. Double it to get the full national picture.

Dave Mann posted this as a comment on my profile of Mark Eden.
Dave sums up how radical activism works by drawing young people into their networks through so called "respectable" groups like Greenpeace.
"Are our spies seriously suggesting minimum wage workers and school kids working in fast-food restaurants were part of a budding al Qaeda network? My staff recall that Gilchrist inveigled his way into the union by boasting to impressionable teenagers on our picket lines how radical he was and how they needed to take more direct action to win their claims."
I can assure you that this and the other statements about Rob inciting people to take illegal direct action are completely true.
It is the cops and the state that have been trying to make our movements appear violent so they have an excuse to sy on us and to diminish public support for our aims of a more just society.
I personally believe in building a radical movement to end capitalism. I believe that getting violent or focusing on property destruction will not produce such a movement and will merely alienate the public.
Yeah, one minute you're handing out a leaflet about GE food, next thing you've converted to Islam and are in a training camp in Afghanistan. I've seen it many times.
Newspapers and blogs are the real root of the problem though. People read about the world, it angries up the blood, and they head out to try and change things. Illiteracy is the only real safguard.
More urgently - Trev! There were THREE comorants this morning! Scout's honour. One was drying its wings and two more flew in and joined it. Further on there was a pied oystercatcher hanging around looking awkward and rather out of place - was that you?.
I saw a lada car today in town and I knew communism was upon us. I asked the driver when he was heading up into Hindu Kush to do his terror training, he looked at me with a strange and obviously communist terrorist look of confusion.

This article was just published in Scientific American. It points to the great progress that scientists have made in mapping the genes that lead to autism.
It also points to the fact that the more we know, the more we don’t know.
At some point in the not too distant future, it may be possible for kids to h ave a genetic correction to mitigate the affects of autism. Probably not for another 20 years, but progress is being made.
Is the title of a documentary describing a young autistic man who defined his life through Disney Animated films. He had retreated into a world and one day asked for help to get out.
Life, Animated, which takes its name from a 2014 book by Ron Suskind, begins and ends with Owen as he is today: a young man of 23, living on his own, working, having relationships. Between those happy bookends, though, is a story of heartache, frustration, childhood cruelty and one very significant, secular miracle.
Have scientists found a cure for autism?
Researchers at Stanford University looked at a type of therapy called Pivotal Response Training (PRT), which is one the of the handful of treatments shown to be effective for kids on the autism spectrum, says Kari Berquist, PhD, study co-author and a clinical instructor in psychiatry and behavioral sciences and an autism clinician at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford. The therapy focuses on improving kids’ motivation language skills by reinforcing their use of language related to the task at hand. One of the advantages is it can be done anywhere: anytime a child attempts to ask for something by name—a toy, say—they’d be rewarded with the item they requested, which reinforces their use of language.

Gov. Jay Inslee played the happy warrior, TV executive producer David Gelber (“Years of Living Dangerously”) played the angry media critic and Episcopal priest the Rev. Kathleen Patton brought Lucifer into the coal train debate, as the group Climate Solutions roused a packed breakfast at the Westin on Monday.
Gov. Jay Inslee: If the West Coast can give us Jimi Hendrix, the Beach Boys and Nirvana, it can give the world solar cells and windmills.
All three had approaches to what’s sure to be furious upcoming debate on carbon reduction and the ultimate fate of two big coal export proposals.
If the West Coast could give us “Jimi Hendrix, the Beach Boys and Nirvana,” said Inslee in a flight of hyperbole, then it lead the world in giving the world windmills and solar cells.
He talked about clean energy on a visit to Moses Lake last week, Inslee added, and “There were some light bulbs going on.” A firm in Moses Lake makes carbon fiber for all-electric cars.
Gelber, who was Ed Bradley’s producer at “60 Minutes” for 25 years, touted his climate production on Showtime while lamenting the glacial pace at which the TV networks have discovered a rapidly warming world and its consequences.
Patton of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Longview delivered a fiery denunciation of Millennium Bulk Terminals proposal for a major coal export terminal at a shut-down aluminum smelter along the Columbia River.
Northwest environmental groups are campaigning to phase out use of coal to generate electricity. Puget Power still gets a big chunk of its power from aging, 1970’s-vintage coal plants in Montana.
Climate Solutions is a practical outfit, dedicated to what it calls “cutting edge partnerships” with business and the public sector to drive “market based solutions to carbon emissions from transportation and a phase out of coal from the electricity sector.
The Boeing Co. is its biggest corporate “Climate Champion,” and Marc Daudon of the Cascadia Consulting Group chairs its board of directors.
The annual breakings of bread by such groups as Climate Solutions, Foreterra and the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Coalition show that once-fierce rivals — notably timber companies, electrical utilities and environmental groups — now make common cause.
Seattle TV stations devote resources to environmental coverage, and The Seattle Times recently produced a ground-breaking series on acidification of the world’s oceans.
David Gelber operates in a somewhat different environment.
“Why is it so hard to get non-fossil fuel lobbies or (corporate) executives engaged on this issue?” he asked.
At the same time, argued Gelber, newspapers have “let go” highly competent environmental reporters. “Its ranks have been so thinned that the press doesn’t have people to do this story,” he said.
As well, Gelber feels that major polluting corporations have learned to play rope-a-dope. “Exxon may say the right thing, but they are still finding politicians who gum up the works,” he said.
Indeed, Big Oil and Big Coal helped “gum up” wide-ranging legislation that would have set America on a path to limit carbon emissions. It passed the House, thanks in parts to efforts by then-Rep. Jay Inslee, but died in the Senate.
Inslee soldiers on, relentlessly optimistic. “We have a compelling story that the best new generator of jobs is clean energy technology,” argued the governor. He’ll have to persuade the Legislature.

Are you traveling to a new place and wondering how you are going to be getting a healthy delivery for your meals. There are various platforms that you can get the right services if you concentrate on quality service delivery in the city today.
Being in a new city is an exciting thing but it comes with very many challenges. It is important that you can come up with better and professional ways that will ensure that you will be able to come up with better and quality ways that will ensure that you can get the best in the right manner. You would like to deal with people who can make you feel awesome in the modern society.
The service providers are aimed at offering fresh foods that will make you even admire them in a great way for daily deliveries. If you are not careful, you might be delivered food which has already gone bad, and you realize this when the delivery person has already left. However, if you are lucky to settle with gourmet restaurants, this will be less of your worry.
If you need to know if food is going to be delivered on time, then you got to ensure that you and the hotel management have an agreement about timing. The unreliability of some hotels is not the best since some are not even punctual when you need their delivery very badly. You cannot just live your life eating badly and expect that you are going to be healthy. Gourmet is the only place where you would be assured that you are getting your order on time and without any lateness.
If you were ever thinking that considering a hotel because of untidiness would bring you any good experience, then you are wrong. Also, with an unhygienic hotel, you would not know what else you are going to expect out of it. In fact, you find that every time there is a breakout, the customers in these hotels are the first ones to get infected by many communicable infections.
Some of these hotels will even not care the methods they are using for packaging delivery foods because they are just unhygienic. The safest way for you is to ensure that you have visited the Gourmet hotel and see their food is preserved and packaged. Hygiene here is observed to the highest level, and that is why you do not need to worry.

As you design your wedding, why not add something other than what’s expected to your wedding service? A sand wedding function is an excellent platform where you can completely interestingly convey what needs be as you depict your love to your accomplice and additionally appreciation to your relatives and different visitors. Incorporating the sand custom to your wedding ceremony is not hard at all. All you have to do is to ensure that you establish a good plan ahead of time. Take after these straightforward proposals to play out your wedding sand function in flawlessness.
Arranged foundation: The set up infers that you should deliberately examine your sand wedding scene and pick the most vital spot as per the view that you want. The best position pertinent in such a wedding service is the place the individual responsible for combining the lady and groom is central regarding the area of the table, and the couple is situated in a place that enables them to confront each other comfortably.
Sorting out the area of the Marriage: Guarantee that you mastermind your table such that it looks very much put as opposed to looking as though it was quite recently arbitrarily set. Make sure that the table you select displays the vase in the correct manner, and other components do not overshadow it. Likewise, discover that the fabric you select to cover the table is of good shading and quality. Sand normally shrinks when subjected to dampness. If you happen to get hitched in a moist territory, ensure that you store your sand in an air proof compartment. That will guarantee that your sand pouring service will be without mess as the sand will be emptied easily into the vessel. Mischances can happen when you are pouring the sand into the container. The main way you can avert such an event is when you utilise a pipe over your vase. This is imperative particularly if the mouth vessel you brought isn’t sufficiently wide for the lady of the hour and groom to pour sand together. Request that the officiant put the pipe as you pour in the sand. It is better if you can find something that matches the colours of your vase.
Dealings of selling, buying or renting together with the resources of a real property is done by an organization referred to as a real estate company. Most of the time this type of resources are natural for example, crops, minerals or water. Hard work, seriousness and dedication are some of the aspects an individual having a real estate company should be containing. Many are the individuals that join the property industry with a mentality that shows them that it is easy but, they find it very difficult and in order to immerse successful in the business you had to take it as serious as a career not some kind of side hustle.
What one needs to know about starting a real estate company and becoming successful with it is what kind of niche need to exploit to accomplish there goals. Become a jack of all traits in the property industry is very unlikely because it will overwhelm and limit you from reaching your goals. One needs to choose whether it is dealing with land that is vacant, real estate investment trusts (REITs), flipping, wholesaling and construction. Another thing to note for a real estate business owner is that you are not going to get rich quickly or in period that can be considered short.
Patience is one of the most important virtues a real estate company owner needs to have because you cannot think you will launch a real estate business today and expect to be ripping millions next month. Real estate company owners will need to be patients in order to persevere and eventually grow a business that is reputable.
As a real estate owner you will need to create connections with the right people who have great value in the property industry if you want to advertise your company the best way.
Other companies act as your completion but if you make acquaintances with them it may steer you to the right direction of improving your company. In real estate business you will come across situations where a lot of deceit takes places, this is not good for business so virtues like honesty and also proper ethics must be part and parcel with the business. Technology also plays an important role in the real estate industry and real estate owners should change with it for it is something that changes with time, this will help the company to always be focused.

The best play off of the tee will be a hybrid or fairway wood to the left center of the fairway which will leave you a short iron second shot. A layup off the tee will avoid the fairway bunkers on the left side further up the fairway, but be careful of the fairway bunker on the right positioned in the prime landing zone! Accuracy on your second shot will be key especially with a green that runs away and to the right and is fast.

Why would anyone want liberty? It requires responsibility, after all. It removes most of your opportunities to whine and blame everyone else when things go wrong. It leads to minding your own business. Where's the fun in that?
What is liberty? According to Thomas Jefferson, "Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others."
"Unobstructed action"- absolutely anything which doesn't violate the identical liberty of some other person, regardless of what the law says, is within your rights to do. No one has a right to rule your life or prevent you from offending them.
Another way to put it might be "Don't do unto others as you would not have them do unto you.", which I have been told is a better translation of The Golden Rule.
Liberty frees you from feeling like you need to control other people's lives. Live your own life, and if someone encroaches on your life, liberty, or property, deal with them then and there.
Liberty lets you focus on your responsibility; not enforcing responsibility in others.
Instead of fretting over trivial matters, you can focus on what's really important. Is someone attacking the innocent or violating private property? No? Then forget it and move on. If they are, take steps to stop them.
The less time you spend worrying about what other people do, the more you will have to spend on being a better friend, relative, and neighbor.
You'll probably be less stressed out, too. It's a huge burden to feel what your neighbors do is somehow your business.
Liberty frees you from wringing your hands over situations you have no control over. Don't like what's going on in other countries? Can you actually do anything about it? If you can, should, and want to, go and do something. If not, concentrate on your own life. Don't force others to do what you think should be done, and don't force them to pay for it either. Meddling by those who think "something must be done" has caused the lion's share of political trouble.
You can also save a lot of time when you stop worrying whether something is "legal" and go straight to doing what is right.
It's easier to keep track of two or three universal laws than millions of federal, state, and local rules. How easy? Don't use force- or send others to use it on your behalf- against people who aren't attacking the innocent or violating private property, respect private property, and if you enter an agreement, do your best to keep it. Anyone can do that. Can't you?

FAQ - LAW # 5: Why did Mr. Young resist arrest by the Orange County Sheriff's Deputies?
He didn't -- and this is yet another BOMBASTIC LIE and very much part of the cover-up in MorganStanleyGate.
When a SWAT Team of over a dozen Orange County (NC) officers WRONGFULLY broke down Mr. Young's front door on Paragon Commercial Bank's FRAUDULENT FORECLOSURE on a mortgage that was NEVER late, NOT delinquent and PAID-IN-FULL, Mr. Young showed no resistance, and would had been shot dead had he not announced having CNN and ABC News on each of his phone lines.
Although he showed no resistance whatsoever, Mr. Young was hit in the heart with a taser gun prong, and electrocuted relentlessly in an attempt to cause asystole (cessation of the heart beat).

A business loan agreement is simply a contract between a borrower and lender. It spells out all of the terms and conditions of a loan. They are typically used for business loans. These loans tend to be larger. There are usually more issues to address than the average consumer loan. Since this document is legally binding and enforceable, borrowers need to be aware of its contents. Many of the conditions and stipulations are also negotiable. Therefore, it is important for borrowers to carefully review the agreement before finalizing the loan. Here are some of the key items included in these agreements along with a description of each.
This part of the agreement gives the date the loan must be paid in full. The date can be at the conclusion of a series of periodic payments or it could also include a provision for a balloon payment on a specific date. If a balloon payment will be due, the details are spelled out here. In some cases on the due date the borrower is eligible to renew the loan. The conditions and requirements for renewal are given.
The lender's rate and amount of interest payments are listed in this part of the contract. The rate can be fixed or adjustable. When the rate is an adjustable, the date the rate will change is included .If the interest rate is tied to an index, the method of computation will be detailed in the paperwork.
Loan fees can include up front and processing. These fees can be substantial on large loans. Be sure to review these fees in order to determine the true cost of the loan. The amount of these fees are identified and itemized in this section of the documents.
Many loans do not give borrowers the flexibility of paying off their loan at any time without penalty. Loans with this provision charge a penalty for early payment. The prepayment clause defines what constitutes an early payment and gives the amount of the penalty. If there is no prepayment penalty, it is stated in this section.
Failure to make payments is usually not the only reason for default. Most lenders list a variety of causes for default. Generally a breach of any of the obligations in the document is considered a default. If is important for borrowers to note the method and length of advance notice that is required by the loan agreement.
A description of the property that is pledged as security for the loan is contained in the collateral section. If a first or second mortgage is required the property's location will be identified. Any agreements for partial release of collateral will be included in this part of the agreement.
Loan agreements are typically very detailed documents. You should carefully review the entire document and make sure all provisions are reasonable. More importantly, avoid the possibility of a future unwelcome surprise.

So I have hosting thru my school but Id like to have a more personalized Domain Name then the long string they give us. Ive already gone thru the Domain Name registration process but I cant seem to figure out how to map it back to my own sever. What should I be doing?
Have you tried redirecting/cloaking it?
You do this under the domain tab. By your domain name find the link that says edit and do it from there.
If I check the Domains > Registration tab it indicates that I have registered a Domain name thru DreamHost.
If I look at my account overall it says I have 0 Plans (not the 0 Plan that I want, but ZERO Plans) but I have a registered Domain Name.
did you sign up for hosting, as well as registering the domain?
mmmm no I didnt since I have my own hosting.
Ok, so just go into the Panel > Domains > registration. You should be able to click modify across from your domain - and just point the name servers to your schools.
If you can’t just point your domain to their name servers, I’m not sure if you can add a cloaked or mirrored domain with no hosting account or not. I don’t see anything off hand on the Dreamhost website about what services they offer with domain registration.
You may want to contact support and see what your options are if you can’t set the name servers to forward on to your school.

We are living in the age of Cloud Computing. Cloud is not only present but it is the future of technology and computing.
cloud computing is a kind of outsourcing of computer programs. Using cloud computing, users are able to access software and applications from wherever they need, while it is being hosted by an outside party — in “the cloud.” This means that they do not have to worry about things such as storage and power, they can simply enjoy the end result. In other words, cloud computing is the virtualization and central management of data center resources as software-defined pools. This technical definition of cloud computing describes how public cloud service providers run their operations. The key advantage is agility: the ability to apply abstracted compute, storage, and network resources to workloads as needed and tap into an abundance of pre-built services.
Simply we can say, cloud computing is the delivery of computing services, servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics and more over the Internet (“the cloud”).

Planning on doing a Let's Play video series of Final Fantasy XIV? Well, don't expect to get paid a cent for any work you put into any of it because Square Enix will make sure every dime, dollar, penny and quarter to a dollar from advertisements will fall squarely in their coffers and their coffers alone.
Reddit user Vulpix0r – either some young punk kid who likes Pokemon or a man-nerd who can't get enough of his 140 Pokemon – posted up a quick thread letting everyone know that Square won't be tolerating any kind of monetization on their latest subscription-based re-release of the highly controversial, highly anticipated, highly loved, highly hated and continually talked about Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
* You may not monetize your video via the YouTube partner program or any similar programs on other video sharing sites.
The video must not contain racist, sexist, homophobic or generally offensive content of any kind. This includes graphic violence or sexually explicit content.
FINAL FANTASY XIV c 2010-2013 SQUARE ENIX CO., LTD. All Rights Reserved.
Hey, you guys didn't really think that something like Let's Play videos would benefit the gamer in the end-game did you? You didn't really think you could make money doing something you loved and could garner enough cash in the sticky web of partnered advertisement revenue to pay bills and keep more than ramen noodles and day-old peas on your plate, did you? Ha! You should have locked away those thoughts with your feeble attempts to dream.
Anyone living in the Corporate States of America should already know that the only reason you have dreams of doing anything is so some guy sitting in a $10,000 leather chair in an executive office at the top of a highrise you're not even qualified to look at in the downtown of a city you can't even afford to ride a taxi in, can stand up and stomp loudly on the glass entity that used to be the image of your dreams.
In this case, however, a rather small man in a firm-fitting suit sitting in a highrise in Japan just stood up and stomped loudly on a collection of glass dreams that belonged to a small group of money-hungry YouTube users who use Let's Play videos to make a little cash.
The only thing you can hope for at this junction is that the little guy from Shinjuku, Tokyo stepped on enough glass dreams that maybe one of the shards cut through his custom-tailored shoe and pricked him in the foot. Otherwise, congratulations Let's Play YouTubers on getting screwed. You're now back to being in the same financially rickety boat as the rest of the average middle-class pleb suffering in an intolerable economy.

We sang a lovely variety of Christmas Carols at the church this week. It’s so lovely to celebrate the Nativity in a traditional way.
This year, our message was clear and simple: the true spirit of Christmas is love, kindness and being nice!
Well done to those children who went through the audition process last week for learning an instrument. You should by now have checked the Music noticeboard to see if you were successful and to find out what time your first lesson is.
If you have any questions about payment of lesson fees, you can always check the fee due on www.schoolmoney.co.uk.
If you already play an instrument at the juniors and have sent back your consent to continue playing in September, well done and watch this space for a further letter all about how to send in your lesson fees (this will probably come to you at the beginning of September, but if tutors book early with us, we’ll get in touch with your parents/ carers before the end of term). If you aren’t carrying on (I didn’t receive a consent from your parent/ carer) then please return your instrument to school this week.
If you are hoping to audition to start playing an instrument, the deadline for consents has now passed and auditions are being arranged for the start of September. Listen out in assembly for announcements about when – and where – to go for your audition. Ensure you listen carefully to the music teacher and follow his/ her instructions to the letter. Show enthusiasm and great Broadmeadow manners!
Any questions, get in touch. Remember, I’m on play time duty on Mondays/ Tuesdays, so you can grab me then if you aren’t sure about anything!
We genuinely couldn’t feel more uplifted following a wonderful performance by the choir in a special music assembly this afternoon!
Thanks to all the parents who attended – I hope you were singing along as I was! The songs were a nice selection of cultural/ popular tunes and saw lots of heads bobbing / feet tapping as the rhythms kicked in!
Well done to the whole choir. Your confidence has grown enormously.
Parental ticket and T-shirt order forms for the Young Voices concert in January were all sent off a couple of weeks ago and we will send tickets to you (if you’ve ordered them through school) when we receive them.
This year, we’re hoping to take a school banner so that you can easily identify where we are sitting and give us a wave.
Thank you in advance for any rehearsal that you are helping your child with. The event promises to be very exciting indeed.
Today, we recorded a song in singing assembly. It was all about celebrating differences between people and the title was ‘Sing a Song in Unison’ (from Out of the Ark Music). I’ll be listening to the track when Mr Barton has finished editing it, so let’s hope we did a professional job! Hopefully, this track will be played on the radio! Watch this space.
It was very difficult to stay away from the hall this evening – the sound of the choir rehearsing for Young Voices was just so scrummy! Like music to my ears!
Broadmeadow’s choir will once again be joining thousands of other school children to sing in an evening concert in January 2017. We have a bigger choir than ever this year, and from the sounds of things, rehearsals are going extremely well!
For further details, see Miss Case!

FAQ: How can a current employee take an assessment for a promotion?
If an existing employee has not taken an assessment and would like to take one for promotion to a new position, the employee will need to submit a new application to the new position. The employee should access the company's job application to submit a new application with the assessment. The employee needs to enter the Four Identifiers (First Name/Last Name/PIN/DOB) as they did on their previous application, to associate the new application with their current record. Since they have not taken the assessment previously, it will be available during the application process.
If the new position does not exist at your organization, you will need to create the position first so the employee can apply.
If the job already exists at your organization, you may want to review the individual's existing assessment report under Job Fit Scores as you may be able to evaluate this individual based on a different job profile.

Martin Seewald, Studien zum 9. Buch von Lucans Bellum Civile mit einem Kommentar zu den Versen 1-733. Göttinger Forum für Altertumswissenschaft Bd. 2. Berlin/New York: Walter de Gruyter, 2008. Pp. xiii, 507. ISBN 9783110203455. $157.00.
This book is a work of pietas, published posthumously by friends and colleagues after the premature death of Martin Seewald in 2002. It contains a revised version of the author's 2001 PhD dissertation, 'A Commentary on Lucan Bellum Civile 9.1-604', extended by a commentary on Lucan Bellum Civile 9.604-733. Seewald thus covers book 9 up to the end of the snake catalogue. Death prevented Seewald from working on the remaining section (BC 9.734-1108), that includes the snake aristeia and Caesar's visit to Troy. In addition the editors of this volume, Gerrit Kloss and Jan Radicke, have included three studies on Lucan by Seewald, two of which have not previously been published. This book thus stands as monument to Seewald's life and work and is a valuable addition to the existing literature on Lucan.
The first of Seewald's three papers (previously unpublished) 'Lucan 9,411-420 und die TO-Karte' investigates a schematic map (a circle, O, divided into three parts by a T), which splits the world into three continents and is found in Glosule super Lucanum ad 9.413. Seewald asks whether this so called TO-map (or Radkarte) goes back to Isidorus Origines 14.2.1-3, which processes Augustine civ. 16.17 and Orosius hist. 1.2.1-10. He suggests that the intellectual foundations for this kind of map might have been laid by Polybius in a geographical excursus (3.36-38).

2. Christian Raschle, Pestes Harenae, Die Schlangenepisode in Lucans Pharsalia (IX 587-949). Frankfurt am Main, 2001. Claudia Wick, Marcus Annaeus Lucanus, Bellum Civile, liber IX. I: Einleitung, Text und Übersetzung; II: Kommentar. München-Leipzig, 2004. The editors, however, rightly point out that there was no modern commentary on BC 9 when Seewald started his work in the late 90s.
3. Only those seeking access to Seewald's textual choices will be disappointed, the volume does not seem to specify which of the textual editions Seewald lists in his bibliography his commentary is actually following nor does it provide a table of those lines in which Seewald's text would differ from any such edition.
4. The two previously unpublished papers are slightly less polished and stringent than the previously published one, although all of them contain up to two and a half pages long non reader-friendly footnotes. This fact should not distract from the overall high standards and value of this volume and certainly has its explanation in the volume's production history.

The Boston Celtics have already dealt with plenty of injury turmoil, including losing Gordon Hayward (broken ankle) in the first game of the season and Daniel Theis (knee surgery) last month. Now they can add star point guard Kyrie Irving to the mix.
The All-NBA player will miss the remainder of the 2017-18 NBA season and playoffs after having surgery to remove two screws from his patella and a tension wire. These are the same screws that were inserted into Irving’s knee after he fractured it in the 2015 NBA Finals.
Celtics officials said that a bacterial infection developed at the site of the screws after Irving had minor knee surgery on March 24. This was performed to take out a tension wire in his knee. He underwent a more-recent surgery to remove any remaining bacteria from the site.
The only good news is that Irving’s patella is completed healed following the surgery. But he won’t be at full strength for another 4-5 months.
Irving had felt pain in his knee throughout most of the season. But he reportedly felt total relief after the tension wire was removed in the latest surgery.
The team didn’t expect a bacterial infection to develop following the March knee surgery. But it’s also not totally unfounded for this to happen with knee-tension-wire procedures. The bacteria was a staph infection that’s resistant to antibiotic treatments, rather than the MRSA variety.
Celtics coach Brad Stevens spoke with ESPN’s Jackie MacMullan about losing Irving for the season. And he was hoping to have his guard back within three weeks after the March 24 procedure.
Irving originally thought about undergoing “minimally invasive surgery” earlier this year, rather than waiting until last month. But Stevens noted that nobody had any idea this is how things would turn out.
It appears that Irving will make a full recovery by next season. Stevens made it a point to say that the kneecap is “structurally sound” and shouldn’t be a problem next year.
What do the Celtics Have Left?
Terry Rozier, who’s averaging 11.3 points per game, will resume starting point guard duties without Irving. But he’s not happy about the reason why he’s taking over.
Center Al Horford and forward Jayson Tatum also recently sat out games to rest their ailing bodies. And Rozier’s backup, point guard Shane Larkin, has been playing restricted minutes due to an illness.
This is definitely not how Boston wanted to enter their first postseason with a new-look roster. Many predicted big things for a team that featured Irving, Hayward, Horford, Tatum, Rozier, Smart, and Markieff Morris to open the season. Now it’s questionable how far they can make it with a patch-work squad that’s now missing multiple key players.
Nevertheless, Stevens stresses that he’s confident in the remaining roster’s ability to handle the challenge ahead.
The Celtics’ odds of winning both the Eastern Conference and NBA Championship have dropped dramatically following Irving’s surgery. This team is locked in as the East’s No. 2 seed at 54-25—five games ahead of the Philadelphia 76ers with just three contests left.
Boston is guaranteed home-court advantage for the first two rounds of the playoffs if they make it this far. The word “if” is emphasized, because it’s hard telling how they’ll do without their 5-time All-Star point guard. They would play the No. 7 seed Milwaukee Bucks (42-37) if the playoffs started today.
Here’s a look at Celtics futures for both the conference and NBA Championship. Note that you can bet on these at GTBets.

Organic fertiliser handling contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. Through storage and field experiments, this thesis examined strategies to reduce emissions of nitrous oxide (N₂O) and methane (CH₄) from storage and after land application of cattle slurry (CS) and sewage sludge (SS). Non-digested CS without a roof (1) and digested CS without (2) or with a roof (3) were stored during three months in summer and winter. Mesophilically digested SS without cover (1), with cover (2) or treated with ammonia (NH₃) and with cover (3), and thermophilically digested SS with cover (4), were stored during one year. CS treatments (1) and (3) were applied to soil in spring or in autumn. SS treatments (3) and (2) were applied in spring and autumn, respectively, and were either incorporated into the soil immediately or after four hours. A life cycle assessment was conducted to assess the impact on global warming potential, acidification potential, eutrophication potential and primary energy use of different management strategies for SS.
Digested CS had significantly higher CH₄ emissions than non-digested CS during summer storage. Using a roof in summer decreased CH₄ and increased N₂O emissions significantly, but these cancelled each other out on a global warming basis. Emissions of N₂O and CH₄ were small during winter storage and after land application. Treatment with NH₃ significantly reduced N₂O emissions from SS during storage and tended to lower CH₄ emissions. Thermophilically digested SS had more air-filled pores during storage and emitted significantly more N₂O than other treatments, but had the lowest CH₄ emissions. Emissions of N₂O after SS application to soil were low, but stimulated by wet soil and precipitation, while CH₄ emissions were negligible, with no differences between immediate and delayed incorporation. The LCA revealed that shorter storage time and covered storage could mitigate the environmental impact from SS management. NH₃ treatment generally reduced negative impacts on environment categories except for primary energy use, which was highest for this treatment. A combination of autumn and spring application was preferable to autumn-only application for most treatments through lowering total storage time.

When was the last time your GP asked about the quality of your relationship? If you work with families when did you last talk to a parent about their relationship with their partner? We are very aware of the importance of being vigilant for signs of domestic abuse, but what about if the issue is more about silence than violence? We often find it uncomfortable to ask personal questions about relationships, but there is a growing body of evidence on the importance of the parental relationship to children’s outcomes.
A recent EIF review led by Professor Gordon Harold found that how parents communicate and relate to each other is a primary influence on parenting and children’s mental health and life chances. Although some conflict in relationships is normal, frequent, intense and poorly resolved conflict between parents can profoundly affect children at any age.
The review also looked at the evidence for different UK and international programmes that target inter-parental relationships, and found a range of well-evidenced interventions that impact on parents and on children. Few of these have been delivered and evaluated in the UK to date.
The increasing focus on the need to support parental relationships within government policy creates immediate opportunities to apply this evidence to local practice. Twelve local authorities across the UK have been developing new activities to support interparental relationships over the past year and are now being offered further funding by DWP to take these plans further. This week EIF held a network meeting with commissioners and strategic leads representing these councils to share knowledge and learning and prepare for the next phase of the work. Asking the right questions was a common theme, with many places surprised at how readily parents will talk about the health of their relationship: “parents are often waiting for you to ask the personal questions; if they want to tell you, they’ll tell you.” The actions taken in these areas varies from place to place, from new training courses for professionals in Luton and Hertfordshire, adapting assessment frameworks or services for troubled families in Blackpool and Gateshead to piloting social prescribing of relationship support by GPs in Essex. This will all add to learning about how to implement support for interparental relationships and the impact this can have on children.
This is a really exciting project and demonstrates what is meant by EIF’s focus on using evidence to make change happen for families. And as far as interparental relationships are concerned, when it comes to asking those ‘nosy’ questions, nothing is off limits.

On Tremonti’s sophomore effort Cauterize, Mark Tremonti – the band’s founder and nucleus – leaves the listener smacked around and wanting for more. Mark has grown as a vocalist from the debut release All I Was in 2012. The album’s genres are a bit mixed, not the pure thrash Tremonti possibly envisioned when forming the group to express musical ideas coloring outside the proverbial lines of his current musical projects, but the album’s songs are all very strong and Cauterize works as a complete musical statement.
“Radical Change” smashes the gates open as the opening track on the record. The riffing is fierce, syncopated and thick. What impresses me most is Mark’s restraint during the solos, he’s allowed the notes to open up and compliment the piece which compositionally keeps the focus on those machine-gun riffs making the listener want to return to that over the top-testosterone fueled mayhem the opening riffs present.
“Another Heart” is a bit strange to my ears. The beginning has a big-production quality to it, very bass-heavy and very mainstream ala Earshot’s Two and some of the melodies have a quasi-Alice In Chains feel to them. Unlike “Radical Change,” the solo actually makes the track sound a bit disjointed for my tastes. His playing is undoubtedly masterful, but the shred fest somewhat cheapens what I thought could have been overall a much more mature piece which is how it started, again, restraint can do wonders. I can understand that as guitarists sometimes want to play to the guitarists listening, one can also alienate those who prefer less fretboard pyrotechnics.
The track’s “Tie The Noose” opening riff reminds me of a Pantera-pounder but soon turns very melodic – which is not a bad thing. In fact, although the track’s title sounds menacing, the melodies are inspiring and evoke thoughts of triumph over tragedy, the power to push through. “Flying Monkeys” opens aggressively, like a blood-thirsty army marching into battle. I really like this track as it mixes the melodic almost Beatle-like chromatic harmonies in the choruses (She’s So Heavy) with the pounding, simpler angst and fury of those marching battle-cry riffs. “Proof” seems to be a return to his earlier material with the jangly electric opening, rather laid back, long notes and more moderate tempo. This type is great in that it’s not out of place on the record, but whether the listener is at home or within a crowd packed in front of the stage, it allows both the record and the listener to breathe for a little while.
Overall I think the record is pretty amazing as you seem to hear something new every time you listen to it and trust me; I’ve listened to it quite a bit. The album title makes sense as Tremonti’s playing in many spots is hot enough to melt your face and the production is fantastic start to finish.
This is an evolutionary step for Mark Tremonti and the group and I like many others are definitely awaiting the next bit of music that if we have learned anything from the group’s first two releases will be heavy as hell and will not disappoint.

There is an undertone of seriousness to every article I post to this blog. I want to pass along the message of kindness and helpfulness. I know most of my readers have invisible illnesses, but those invisible illnesses do not make you less of a person and we both know there are many people out there that are in worse shape than we are. You do not know their story, as they do not know yours and even after those stories intertwine, comparisons or competitions of whose is the worst should never come into play. I, personally always consider the person that is telling me their story is in worse shape than I am, that way I have compassion for them. If I am able, I lend them a hand if they need one.
I keep returning to the scooter at Wal-mart. I try not to ride the scooter unless I am having a horrible day. But I can usually make it through the store as long as I hold on to the buggy. I see the elderly using the scooters, they need them more than I do and when I see them trying to reach something on a higher shelf, I help them. Teenagers with a cast on their leg and crutches, do not need a scooter, they have crutches, are strong and will heal soon. Although, I do not know their whole story, so I do not judge unless I see them playing on the scooter. It is not for play, it is for help.
I am thinking about doing a daily blog with a medical terminology or something with the day of the week. I’m not sure yet. I am tossing it around. If you want to see something from this blog that I have not provided, please speak up and I will do my best to accommodate.
I agree, I don’t judge who needs a scooter and who doesn’t. I know shoppers hate them, having to be behind them, etc. I am constantly apologizing when I use one, because I hate it too. When I had my own little three wheeled scooter it was easy and faster. Help is always provided for me with grandkids. I am very lucky that way.
You are lucky to have a loving family. Thank you for commenting.
What type of topics do you most like to write about?
Invisible illnesses, whether physical or mental. I love doing research and writing about medical issues.

View Full Version : The Anime CURE against depression!
It’s January, it’s cold, it’s dark and the will to do stuff, is amazingly low.
I’ve just delivered my final paper in college, and have been spending the last 2-3 weeks, throughout the Xmas and New Year hell, doing absolutely nothing! It just seems more attractive to me, to hide myself in my dark little room, in my small yet comfortable bed and just close the world down for a while! Yes, perhaps it is borderline depression!
But in the midst of all this darkness, there still is a little bright outlet, and as corny as this may sound, it is anime. You can call it escape, you can call it geekiness (my gf does), an excuse or whatever, it works!
Spending approx. 8 hours a day watching anime, and being able to invite these simple and yet complex thoughts and stories in my mind, has been wonderful. I am grateful - arrigato!
Do you know the feeling?!
Or some other CoD game with multiplayer.
Killzone 3 comes next month and it`s said that it will have a great multiplayer.
As for anime, I only watch those that air atm, can`t find an anime that interest me enough except those that I watch once a week.
Anime is definitely one of the best outlets for me. Since it is in a whole different world where people's wildest hopes, dreams and wants can happen, it can really make you feel good about yourself. The worst part, is coming back to reality, where the way things are done in Anime, will probably never happen in real life.
Watching anime isn't so much an outlet for me as imagination is.
Most of my imagination is in anime form.
I always like anime because it's so much cooler than the real world.
Well, it is important knowing the difference between reality, and the fact that life sometimes is hard, and the make-believe world of anime.. We're sadly not all equipped with super powers or great skills!
It should inspire us though, every hardship can be overcome with hard work!
The real world made anime. Wee!

Smith’s biography is well known to football fans: three-time Super Bowl champ, multiyear MVP and record-holding rusher; later, Dancing With the Stars winner and successful entrepreneur. His odyssey of football greatness didn’t begin during his days playing for the University of Florida, or even when he was the star of his Florida high school’s state championship team.
Smith’s march toward the Pro Football Hall of Fame began way back in the 1970s, when he was the 8-year-old quarterback for the Salvation Army Mini-Mites in Pensacola, Fla. The tiny athlete scored on a 70-yard run on the very first play of his very first game — and the rest, as they say, is history.
Like many children in the area, Smith went to the Salvation Army every day after school. The organization provided a safe place for kids to gather, make friends and participate in activities they likely couldn’t otherwise afford.
Smith serves as chairman of the advisory council for the Youth Education Town at the Salvation Army in Arlington, a learning center for disadvantaged children that is part of the legacy from Super Bowl XLV that was played at what is now AT&T Stadium in 2011.
He will be introduced at the luncheon by TCU athletic director Chris Del Conte, the honorary chairman for this year’s luncheon. Proceeds from the luncheon will benefit the Salvation Army in Fort Worth, which provides meals, shelter, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, after-school care and other services for homeless adults, disadvantaged children and other community members who need assistance.
The details: noon April 12, Omni Fort Worth Hotel (1300 Houston St). Tickets: $150. Table sponsorships begin at $2,500. Event chairs: Diane Ayres and Amy Yudiski. Email fortworth.events@uss.salvationarmy.org.
More than 3,700 runners, walkers and volunteers are expected to participate in the 20th annual Victory Over Violence walk/run next month, benefiting the Women’s Center. If you’d like to help swell the ranks to 4,000-plus or otherwise show your support, all you have to do is go to the Women’s Center website and register or make a donation. How easy is that?
Besides some (hopefully) fabulous spring weather, Victory Over Violence will include a 1K fun run and a 5K race, as well as a kids fun zone and an appearance by Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price. Proceeds from the event fund efforts to support victims of violent crime and sexual violence, as well as programs and services that lift women and children out of cycles of poverty and abuse. Date and time: 8 a.m. April 9 at Trinity Park Duck Pond in Fort Worth (2401 University Drive). Fees: $10 and up, depending on age, whether you pay at the event or pre-register and whether you’re participating as part of a team. Event chair: Anne Weiskittel. Learn more: vovfw.org.
The Fort Worth Stockyards are always extra delightful in the fall and spring, and since it’s the location of the upcoming SafeHaven of Tarrant County fundraiser, you’ll want to make plans to join the group next month for A Dapper Dinner. Besides good eats, dancing and an auction are on the party agenda —and if that’s not sufficient enticement, there’s also an open bar and some lawn games in store for you. “It’s going to be as much fun as you can have with your boots on,” declared Kathryn Jacob, SafeHaven president and CEO.
Jacob also said that A Dapper Dinner will pay tribute to Tarrant County Judge Glen Whitley. Among his many other contributions to the community, Whitley was one of the original supporters of One Safe Place, an anti-crime, anti-domestic-violence collaboration sponsored by a number of community organizations including SafeHaven.
Proceeds from the event benefit programs, services and shelter spaces that assist victims of domestic violence. Details: April 8; VIP reception: 6 p.m., dinner: 7 p.m. at River Ranch Stockyards (500 NE 23rd St.). Tickets: $125. Attire: boots and jeans. Learn more: safehaventc.org or 817-502-7132.
Party guests will also have the chance to enjoy music from the Bucket List Jazz Band, helmed by 94-year-old Jim Milan, and meet Mary Anne Aldhadeff, CEO of Downton’s local home, KERA/Channel 13. (And for heaven’s sake, be nice — remember, she didn’t cancel Our Favorite Series). Date: 2 p.m. April 3 at Thistle Hill Mansion (1509 Pennsylvania Ave), which is also the event’s beneficiary. Tickets: $35 per person for Historic Fort Worth members, $50 for everyone else. Event chairs: Francie Richardson Allen and Virginia Richardson. Learn more: historicfortworth.org.

I swear to you it must seem like I live with the Four Seasons brand at the moment, as I’m at their properties so much lately. Wouldn’t that be the dream eh? No, simply it’s just, as I’ve said many times before, I love the brand so much. They just have nailed luxury on a friendly and welcoming scale so well.
So when earlier this year their new London hotel opened, Ten Trinity Square, I was really excited. I kept meaning to book in a visit but time just escaped me. Anyways, finally I found the time to head down to try their Chinese-Japanese restaurant, Mei Ume, as it’s been making waves in the restaurant scene at the moment and I’m not one to get left behind.
But before we even get to the restaurant, I have to stop you and try and explain what I saw. The bar is something to behold. It is one of the most grand and stunning settings I think I’ve ever seen. A huge grand piano sits underneath a huge dome, surrounded by gold and marble and leather.
Sitting at the bar is an awesome way to just soak it all in and also do some people watching. I’d also highly recommend ordering a drink before heading for the restaurant. My bartender turned me to tequila in my espresso martini rather than vodka and it was so smooth, it made for a great warm up drink- although one for an evening as it’s quite powerful.
Heading into Mei Ume, it's one of utter luxury. Marble columns, beautiful art work and oak finished furniture.
At 6:30 when I arrived it was pretty quiet but later on, it become super busy, so depending on your vibe, book accordingly.
The menu at Mei Ume is a mixture of Chinese and Japanese small plates, which makes great for sharing.
We decided to start with edamame beans, sticky chilli pork ribs, vegetable dim sum and scallops.
I love ribs, and the sauce on these had a fantastic kick to them, plus the meat did cut off so effortlessly so no messy fingers here.
Helen loved the dim sum, especially the mushroom ones, as she said they provided a good depth of flavour rather than just a homogenous "vegetable" taste you can often get.
I couldn't resist ordering one final dish after seeing someone else plate go by- Baked Iberico pork puffs. But these were almost like scones or friend English dumplings- that crispier dough texture, filled with molten pork. And I say molten as I bit straight into one not realising all the steam inside and nearly burning my mouth off. However these were my favourite starter by far- they were darn delicious.
For main I opted for the Wok fried Hereford beef fillet in spicy black pepper sauce. Now I have to say the beef was incredibly tender, probably the most tender meat I've had in a long time. However I did feel the sauce needed... maybe some seasoning? It just felt like it lacked that extra oomf I expected and for £30 it sure isn't cheap for the portion size.
Helen, being a big sushi eater went for soft shell crab and mango, and Spicy tuna with truffle and parmesan.
Now I'm no sushi expert but parmesan? That's one I'd never heard of before. I joked to Helen that it looked like it had hair!
However she loved them and said it was one of the best dishes she'd had. So there we have it, don't judge a book by it's cover.
Finally it was dessert time. I knew I would love the Chocolate moelleux and green tea powder as I'd had similar before and it's always divine. It's sort of like a molten chocolate cake where the sauce boxes out. Heaven.
Helen went light and ordered earl grey tea ice cream along side chocolate. If you like tea then you'll love this. It's like an ice tea I guess.
I didn't think the Four Seasons brand could get any better. Yet they've elevated themselves to the next level. Not only is it a stunning building, but the food and service match it's design. If you are looking for somewhere to dress up for then Mei Ume is your place.
Isn't it the most amazing restaurant? Glad you had fun!!

The same holds for the photodata, you get no time to study it.

Copyright on Products: Where do we draw the line?
With the increased ability of reaching our target audience via social media, businesses, bakers and chefs have ongoing pressure to continually post exceptional images. Not many chefs or businesses are in the position to either pay for a professional photographer or have the variety of product to enable them to post regularly. This has led to some individuals posting images of other people’s product without prior consent or acknowledgment of the original creator.
There are copyright laws pertaining to work created. Social media sites also have their own guidelines on copyright.
What is copyright? A work of authorship includes literary, written, dramatic, artistic, musical and other certain types of works which can include cakes, baked goods, desserts etc… Copyright exists as soon as the product is created and it applies to published and non-published works. As soon as you put down your palette knife, click the shutter on your camera, or hit the home button on your smart phone you have got a copyright (with some exceptions). Copyright also covers photography and that means that in relation to an artistic work, copying includes the making of a copy of a photograph in two dimensions or a three-dimensional work. This is a grey area as to what qualifies as artistic work. So if you see an image of a product it may be protected by copyright which should stop you recreating it.
Copyright is automatic and does not require you to file any paper work as is the case for trademarks and patents.
4. Distribute copies of copyrighted work to the public by sale, rental and or display the image.
There is an exception called Fair Use, this allows the public to use portions of copyrighted work without permission from the owner.
Copyright of food products is much more prevalent in countries such as USA who are renowned for their litigation. A good example of this is Dominique Ansel’s Cronut.
United States Patent and Trademark Office records reveal that “Cronut” is now a registered trademark. Dominique Ansel filed the paperwork for the croissant-doughnut hybrid shortly after its public debut in May 2013, but the trademark was not registered until 2014.
After Dominique announced his trademark plans for the Cronut last year, his decision was met with some hostility from other businesses. At the time, the bakery took to Facebook to explain the decision.
“Our desire to protect the name is not an attempt to claim or take credit for all cooking methods associated with the recipe or all croissant and doughnut products in general. Instead it offers bakery and chef protection against un-granted affiliations with the bakery or confusion with customers”.
I think if you are using someone else’s image you should always request consent before you proceed, if you replicate a product that you have seen as an image of you should credit the original creator. Always be inspired by others work and when creating your own productions do it in your own style. If people replicate or copy your work it forces you to create a new concept or product and keep evolving as a professional.
