Taylor Says in 2000 "I Will Defend a Citizen's Right to Speak on Any Subject," Then Follows with His Idea of Real Character Assassination!

March 29, 2016 Colleyville, Texas
Many citizens were outraged at Mayor David Kelly's sudden "Protocol" change concerning what Colleyville Citizens Can Speak About as seen below.
However, note Councilman Mike Taylor's passionate declaration below in March 2000.
https://localnewsonly.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/TaylorCitizensSpeakabout-Anything.mp3
However, note below, during the many interruptions by Mayor David Kelly of Claudia Bevill, Councilman Taylor was either too frightened to speak out or somehow lost his previous passion, 16 years before, for free speech and his announced role to defend citizens rights to speak out.
One will note that Ms. Bevill was simply trying to point out the Council members attack on a citizen by Taylor and Mayor Kelly during the report of the City Manager's "Investigation Report." First words out of Taylor's mouth was, " I never doubted it, this is simply "character assassination." [/box]
Below is Mike Taylor, in 2001, accepting a Plaque after he had lost his next election. However, this was AFTER, Taylor had perfected his personal "character assassination" of the Mayor and other council members.
Mike Taylor, seen accepting a plaque for his service on the Hwy 26 Committee from current Mayor Donna Arp. Taylor filed for mayor yesterday saying "Newton was from the past" and "Hocutt was part of the status quo".
Mike Taylor has filed for Place 2 City Council as of 5 pm on Thursday. Taylor is a two time loser for mayor running in 2001 against Donna Arp, Taylor received 42% of the vote out of 3,392 votes. Taylor ran again in a three way race with current Mayor Joe Hocutt and former Mayor Richard Newton and received only 664 or 23%.
Now listen to Councilman Mike Taylor's vicious attack on then Mayor Donna Arp and be sure to wait to the end to hear Councilwoman Ginny Tigue's comment.

Voters Will Get a Second Chance to Rectify Sleezy Mailer Attack
Mike Taylor's Commitment that "Citizens can speak on any subject…." is politics in action.
carlos trevino
Politics in action. Guess we can protest something when we don't support certain people but if one of our "compadres" step over the line we can just look the other way or, support the persons position.
Frank Genco
So disturbing. Where to begin? By what means did Mike Taylor come to get the document? Why don't voters recognize that developers have a financial interest to buy councilperson's votes and will push as hard as they can, or harder? Why don't voters recognize realtors (and investors and contractors) conflicts of interest? The document dug up by Mike Taylor was only a draft created by the developer but it shows what developers are capable of to buy one city councilperson's vote and how realtors have a conflict of interest in city council. The offer was not accepted by Donna Arp. Councilperson Richard Newton was a voice of stability and reason for proper procedure when others were emotionally distracted by the character assassination. Where is Mike Taylor's "I will defend a person's right to speak" once he became a city councilperson and Mayor Kelly censored citizen input?


This sneaker is undoubtedly one of the most favoured running silhouettes of the last 12 months. Not just because of it's technological prowess, however, (despite providing an undeniably comfortable and flexible fit for the wearer) the reasons for this sneakers popularity are its paradoxical features that ying and yang their way into a truly beautiful runner.
The Free Run+2 sports the simplicity of sock-liner-style-fit that could have easily seen it categorised within the Huarache family, and while the added fabric layers construct the silhouettes lacing system provide very little in terms of support, their complex web make up allows for colour pops and contrasts that guarantee a double take. Throw in woollen fabrics for the autumn and done all you have to do to get a yes out of us.
If you haven't tried this shoe yet, then we suggest you waste no time shopping these.

21 Dartmouth Street, London, SW1
We were instructed in 2017 to provide development and leasing advice to Quadrum Global in respect of their pending redevelopment of the 53,000 Sq Ft 21 Dartmouth Street. The building had been purchased with a view to a residential redevelopment, although we suggested that current market conditions favoured commercial over high-end resi, and this route was adopted.
Working closely with the client, their architect (Ben Adams Architects) and wider development team, we assisted in the design of a superb scheme, which made the best of all aspects of the existing building and minimised the impact of natural limitations of the building. Particular design items of note included 10 roof terraces and exposed services, making the most of the otherwise limited floor to ceiling heights.
We commenced a targeted pre-let campaign with strong marketing collateral, which culminated in a number of lines of enquiry. Two weeks prior to practical completion of works, we exchanged contracts with The Corporate Officers For The House of Commons on a 20 year lease at an annual rent of £3,395,000, providing an outstanding result for our client.
They subsequently sold the building at a yield of sub 3.7%, securing a stronger return than even their most ambitious expectations.
Tuckerman have since acquired other sites for this client and continue to provide strategic development advice.
Following completion of the letting, our client commented "Guy and team were on hand throughout to help all the way from the initial design stage, through the refurbishment and then were extremely helpful during the marketing and letting stage. Having secured the House of Commons as the tenant at 21 Dartmouth Street, I couldn't praise them highly enough for their success and we would recommend them to anyone."

The annual Taste of Iceland event is here March 12th through the 16th. This year there is a great dinner menu at Tavern Road , a community discussion between specialists in Reykjavik and Boston on future Innovations in energy and transportation, the Reykjavik calling concert, and an Icelandic film festival at Kendall Square Cinemas. You can make reservations, and learn about the entire event here.
Now let's focus on the music. Reykjavik calling, an annual concert is once again at the Middle East Club in Cambridge March 14th, doors open at 8.
Iceland Naturally traditionally grabs a couple bands from Iceland, and a couple bands from the local scene, then tosses them together to collaborate and put on a show. These tend to be unique shows as the musicians really make it feel like a party. It's a chance to discover new artists or new things about the artists you already like. Best of all, it's free.
It's recommended that you RSVP for the event via Eventbrite, but getting in is first come first serve. This event gets crowded, so from past experience I suggest you show up early as the lines build quickly and I've seen them wrap around the Middle East more often than not.
This year two Icelandic bands, Kaleo and BeeBee and the BlueBirds, will play along with two Boston outfits, Love in Stockholm and George Knight with Pablo Palooza.
Kaleo began in 2012, and saw their S/T album hit number 1 in 2013. A pleasant blend of Bon Iver and Black keys.
Beebee and the Bluebirds is a jazzy rock band fronted by Brynhildur Oddsdóttir. She's got one of those great soulful voices, and naturally entertains crowds.
Love in Stockholm is good old rock from Allston. Blending classic with modern, they have a local reputation for great live gigs, and have built a great following around the New England area.
George Knight and Pablo Palooza are rock/soul/funk locals. George, a DJ at WERS during the day, musician all the time perfectly compliments the Pablo Palooza players bringing a lot of energy wherever they play.
I asked a slightly altered version of my nonsensical questions. Beebee & the Bluebirds (BBB) Love in Stockholm (LiS) and Pablo Palooza (PaB) were kind enough to answer.
1. If you combine all of your favorite colors, what do you get?
(BBB) Black striped violet red….
2. What are 3 of your favorite little known bands of Iceland/Boston origin?
3. If you could be any creature playing your favorite song, what would the creature be? And what is the song?
Taste of Iceland is always a fantastic time, make sure to check some of it out. Check out more info on all the bands below, and we'll see you there.

Primary industries in good shape to respond to drought and COVID-19
<< China Top Trade Partner For 2019 What 2020 looks like for Kiwi exporters in China >>
The primary sector's strength, resilience and ability to respond to the effects of drought and the global impact of COVID-19 is highlighted by a new report out on 12 March.
The latest Situation Outlook for Primary Industries, from MPI, forecasts primary sector revenue will rise 0.5 per cent in the year to June 2020 to $46.5 billion.
"The sector is showing its underlying strength and resilience despite the challenging domestic drought and global conditions related to COVID-19," Agriculture Minister Damien O'Connor said.
"We saw strong performance across most of our primary industry exports in the first six months of the year, mostly as a result of growing demand and good prices in dairy, red meat and horticulture."
Fisheries Minister Stuart Nash said the impact of COVID-19 disruptions on the rock lobster industry is clear in the SOPI forecasts, which estimate a 2.2 per cent fall in seafood export revenue.
"Despite the collapse of the rock lobster market in China there is room for the wider seafood industry to be optimistic," he said. "Aquaculture earnings continue to grow and are expected to increase by more than 10 per cent in the current financial year.
"The SOPI notes that prices remain strong for hoki, there is high demand for squid, and salmon and mussel exports are growing. Anecdotal reports from our largest fishing port in Nelson also show that seafood exporters with diverse markets have had minimal disruptions from COVID-19."
The Government is closely monitoring the situation the sector is facing and working with industry leaders to ensure New Zealand's high-quality products continue to get to market despite the global trade issues created by COVID-19, O'Connor said.
"We know that our best economic defence is a strong health response that minimises the spread of the virus.
"The Government's Business Continuity Package will support businesses feeling the effects of the global COVID-19 disruption. We're also supporting our farmers and growers to get through the current drought in the North Island, parts of the South Island and the Chathams with the comprehensive $2 million package announced today."
Included in the package are drought co-ordinators and additional co-ordinators, a feed working group, animal welfare information and expertise and professional advice for recovery, he said.
"In my recent visits to farmers and growers across the country, I've seen the effort they are taking to deal with current conditions.
"While our forecasts show export revenue will take a number of short term hits, demand for New Zealand food and fibre products should continue to be strong in the longer term," O'Connor said.
"There are still some good prices, compared to previous years, for many of our products, including dairy. The predicted growth in this sector in the face of current challenges is a credit to everyone's hard work and shows how people are calmly working through things."
Key SOPI points
The scenarios used in the forecasts are based on the situation as at the middle of February 2020. This means they do incorporate the impact from COVID-19 on the global economy. However, this is a fast-moving situation and forecasts should be treated with caution.
For the year ending 30 June 2020:
• Dairy export revenue is forecast to rise 6.3 per cent to $19.2 billion, driven by strong domestic production and favourable export prices to December. Prices for cheese and casein continue to strengthen, particularly in North Asia. While overall dairy export revenue is forecast to grow, the forecast has reduced by $390 million due to weakened international dairy prices in the wake of COVID-19, and expected lower production due to hot and dry conditions across the country.
• Meat and wool exports are forecast to rise 0.3 per cent on the previous year to reach $10.2 billion, taking into account a reduction of $220 million due to reduced demand from China caused by COVID-19. The longer term outlook for meat exports also looks bright, particularly in beef and veal which is forecast to hit $3.4 billion in the year ending 30 June 2020, 2.6 per cent on the previous year Horticulture continues to be one of the star performers, with export revenue expected to rise 2.9 percent in the year ending 30 June 2020, hitting $6.3 billion. This is driven by strong performance in kiwifruit, apples and pears.
• Seafood export revenue is expected to fall due to COVID-19, where New Zealand rock lobster exports have taken a hit. A 2.2 percent fall in revenue to $1.92 billion for our seafood exports is forecast. This is on the back of the 10 percent growth in export revenue the previous year.
• Forestry export revenue is also forecast to fall by 17.9 per cent in revenue to $5.65 billion, due to over-capacity in log inventories at Chinese ports caused by COVID-19, and oversupply from markets such as Europe.
• The impacts of COVID-19, drought and other factors will become clearer in future forecasts, but overall demand for food exports is expected to remain strong in the longer term. Exports such as infant formula, skim milk powder, kiwifruit, apples, pears and wine continue to be in demand, with further growth set to continue.

Ballet is one of the most fascinating, gracious and interesting forms of performance dance. It is very popular in countries like Russia, Italy and France. Today, it is generally considered an art form and is classified into several major types including contemporary ballet, neoclassical ballet as well as classical ballet. Aside from these interesting details, it is also good to know about its other important aspects including who invented ballet.
Who invented ballet? Based on historical accounts, the Italians invented ballet as part of the Italian Renaissance some time in the 15th century. Later on, it blossomed in Russia and France, where the dance was made into the form of concert dance. Likewise, the popularity of this dance form made its way to the United States. Its biggest boost came in the 17th century. At that time, it became part of the French court, which happened during the reign of Louis XIV. By 1850, this interesting dance form has already reached countries like Russia and Denmark.
After its popularity reached its peak in Europe, ballet made its way to various parts of the globe. Some of the most notable ballet groups in history include the American Ballet Theater, the Imperial Ballet of the Russian Empire as well as the Royal Danish Ballet.
This dance form originally started in Italy. It was then a form of court pageantry, which was part of lavish celebrations. Dancers and musicians worked with one another to give the audience elaborate entertainment. Thanks to the French ballet de cour, this art form got another major boost. During this time, certain interesting aspects such as costumer, décor and music were combined with social dances.
Domenico da Piacenza became one of the first masters of this dance art form. His most notable students include Guglielmo Ebreo and Antonio Cornazzano. In the 17th century, it became a beautiful art form in France, which was mainly focused on performance. In the 18th century, there was a major advancement in the technical standards of this beautiful dance form. By this time, it has taken a more serious and definitely dramatic form of art. The three formal techniques of ballet were comique, demi-caractere and serieux.
The world of ballet in the 19th century was marked by social change. Slowly, it faded away from the usual aristocratic sensibilities that dominated the earlier periods. At this point, highly talented ballerinas like Fanny Elssler, Marie Taglioni and Genevieve Gosselin introduced new techniques. Dance choreographer George Balanchine played a major role in the progress and introduction of neoclassical ballet.

Oh, the places we go...
The experiential program has been a cornerstone of the Stanbridge curriculum for more than 30 years, and students in every grade participate in these off-campus experiences. Experiential trips enhance and complement classroom learning to promote students' personal growth. Opportunities to improve communication and collaborative skills, promote mutual respect, improve organizational skills, set goals, and engage in appropriate challenges that help to build self-confidence and independence are all part of experiential learning.
K–8 Experientials
Students in Kindergarten through eighth grade participate in age-appropriate adventures designed to captivate and engage them through hands-on activities. Past experiences have enhanced the study of the California Gold Rush by gold panning activities, addressed California science standards through visiting Camp Sea Lab in Monterey, and studied history and literature through sailing tall ships.
Short overnight experiences teach students how to care for themselves and their belongings, develop self-confidence and self-reliance, and provide students who struggle in the classroom an opportunity to thrive in an outdoor environment. Other experiences have included environmental education programs with local organic farms, hiking in nearby parks, and participating in cultural programs such as visiting museums, attending live musical performances, and seeing live theatre.
Recent examples of elementary and middle school experiential trips include reading books and plays then seeing live theatrical performances of the works; touring Recology while studying ecology in science class, as well as visiting the zoo while studying biology. Each year, our middle school students travel with their teachers to Westminster Woods for a multi-day trip that includes team-building workshops and self-confidence building challenge and ropes courses.
High School Experientials
High School students take part in adventure and service activities designed to compliment classroom concepts and challenge themselves. Past trips to NatureBridge in Yosemite National Park and the Ashland Shakespeare Festival have provided students with opportunities to integrate experiential and cultural activities into the curriculum. Carefully constructed scavenger hunts in urban centers provide experiences for our students to practice navigating mass transit systems and map reading, important skills for independence.
Additional past experiences include studying bay ecology while sea kayaking, applying math skills while building for Habitat for Humanity, learning about stream ecology while river rafting, learning properties of snow while camping, and practicing "leave no trace principles" while backpacking.
Every other year, Stanbridge juniors and seniors have the opportunity to travel to Washington, D.C. for an immersive trip to our nation's capital. Partnering with CloseUp, Stanbridge students and chaperones embark on an unforgettable experience that incorporates lessons on history, civics, and government, while seeing the city's historic landmarks, meeting with government representatives, and interacting with students from schools across the country.

Killer Queen: Queen At MSG, Take Two
Paula Iwamoto-Schaap|July 19, 2014
Live, Slideshow
madison square garden, Queen
Not Freddie… but we're alright with that
To say that Queen, the original Queen, was larger than life is inadequate. They were larger than imagination, mostly due to Freddie Mercury. He was a force of nature, and was widely regarded as the ultimate rock stage performer. One of the greatest musical regrets of my life was never getting to see Queen perform live.
When I read that Queen was touring again, with Adam Lambert fronting, I was skeptical. Really, Adam Lambert? I've never been a fan of American Idol. Okay, Lambert has a legitimate, multi-octave voice and certainly has a flamboyant theatrical flair; he's been compared to Freddie for years. And all the reviews of the Queen + Adam Lambert performances were resoundingly enthusiastic.
So I was excited and hopeful (I was excited just to be out in the city on a weeknight) heading into MSG. The crowd was restless, not having the luxury of knowing beforehand (thanks, Iman!) that the band was going on at 8:15, not the scheduled 7:30. The largely older crowd went wild as the lights came up on stage, and even wilder as Adam Lambert was silhouetted on the side screens, before making his grand entrance. Black studded leather, nice. They launched straight into "Now I'm Here" and it was rocking. Adam's voice and energy were excellent, everything I'd hoped they would be. "Stone Cold Crazy" and "Another One Bites the Dust" had the crowd going, having fun, Adam's vocals in good form. Yeah, he's not Freddie, but I was okay with that (for now).
I was thrilled and impressed that the evening very much showcased Brian May and Roger Taylor. They weren't just Freddie's back-up band, after all. They ARE Queen, the last members standing, and those old dudes can still seriously rock. It was nice that Spike Edney is touring with them, as he was long considered a "fifth man" in the band. Roger Taylor brought the thunder on the drums, schooling (in my opinion) his son, who was onboard as backbeat drummer, in a battle of the bands-type interlude. And Brian May was in brilliant form, wowing with a solo during "Fat Bottom Girls" (during which Adam gave a quick shout-out to "All you fat-assed bitches!" in the crowd. How did he know I was there??)
A purple chaise lounge was brought on-stage for "Killer Queen," with Adam reclining and camping it up. It was charming and worked just fine. A bit like Broadway, but that was okay; part of Adam owning his image. It is "Queen PLUS Adam Lambert," and Adam Lambert was doing a great job being Adam Lambert.
Then we arrived at "Somebody to Love," one of my very favorite Queen songs, and I started to feel the disconnect more, between what I felt about this song and how Adam was singing it. Again, the technical prowess was there, he was giving it his all, but compared to what Freddie poured into that song, it felt more surface than substance. He held that long note towards the end magnificently, but then on the last "Somebody to loooooooove…." he curled his lip and mugged for the camera. And lost me. I guess we're not really supposed to compare him to Freddie, but how is it possible not to in this context? Freddie would tear my heart out on that final note, a pure cry of despair and hope crystalline. See, this is why I have trouble with American Idol, and consider it a negative influence on young singers today. It's all about vocal gymnastics and emoting for the tight shot. Adam came up in a time when everyone sang in front of cameras, anyone could put up videos of themselves on YouTube. When Freddie sang live, he did it for the audience, not the cameras. Of course, it was a different time. When Freddie stuck his ass out at the crowd, it was shocking; when Adam does it now it's just de rigueur.
Adam retreated off stage, and one of the nicest moments of the show began, as Brian sat down with an acoustic guitar and talked genuinely with the crowd. He sincerely thanked us for letting them be rock gods once again and his face was full of emotion. Then he sang "Love of My Life," the crowd singing along, and everyone gasped when Freddie's image came up on the screen. It didn't feel gimmicky; it felt true. More retrospective on the screens followed with "These Are the Days of Our Lives." It was such a nice moment that Brian can be forgiven for his later, WAY too long, solo that morphed into some kind of Ode to Psychedelia.
I got a bit more back on board with Adam during "Radio Gaga," which made great use of the screens, flashing scenes of "Metropolis." The crowd really got into the raised arms and clapping hands. The set finished out, predictably but happily, with "Bohemian Rhapsody," incorporating a beautiful blend of live images, the old band performing, and parts of the iconic video. Oh, and the shiny gold cape on Brian! How evocative of the early Queen days! It was all a very fine flourish to the end of the set.
As the band came back out for the encore, the crowd was delirious over Adam's final costume change. The leopard print suit and mega sparkly crown were obvious but fabulous. Yes Adam, we get it: you may not be THE Queen, but you're A Queen. The finale of "We Will Rock You/We are the Champions" was done straight up, more of a tribute to Freddie than Adam trying to place his mark on the closing of the show.
I would have preferred a quieter ending to the show: "You're My Best Friend," my very favorite Queen song and one of my favorite songs period. That would have truly celebrated Freddie's joyousness, his memory, rather than ending with the songs that have been co-opted by sporting events. But his spirit was in the building, if only because of so many there who cherished him.

ICE denies parole to Mexican journalist seeking asylum
Martín Méndez Pineda, a Mexican journalist legally seeking asylum in the United States was denied parole on March 28, 2017. Pineda arrived in the U.S. the previous month on February 5 and entered an asylum claim alleging that he received death threats in relation to his reporting on the federal police in the Mexican state of Guerrero.
On March 1, Pineda passed a "credible fear interview" to establish whether a real threat exists. U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement refused to grant parole to Méndez, however, on the grounds that he was a "flight risk" and did not have substantial ties to the community.
Pineda spent almost four months in detention before returning to Mexico in May 2017.

I woke up this morning and didn't really feel like going to the gym. Probably because it was cold outside and the covers where holding me back from getting up.
Whenever I have days like these, I do some tricks to get myself motivated to workout.
I put the workout clothes in the dryer to warm them up for a minute, then I put it on and that fixes the excuse that I feel cold.
Then I rushed out to the kitchen and make instant coffee. I usually make my french pressed coffee on normal days.
I'm out the door and on my way to the gym in 15 minutes. I try to get out of the house as quickly as I can before I think too much about what I'm doing.
Yup, sometimes I play mind games with myself.
After 4o minutes of doing HIIT workout, I'm awake and I'm a completely different person. I'm happy and I feel like I can tackle the day ahead.
Target had $1 sale for Chobani yogurt and I jumped at the chance to stock up.
One of the 3 new flavors Chobani came out with recently is Black Cherry 0%.
Who needs cherries on top when they are on the bottom?
I tasted the yogurt first before I put all my toppings. This flavor is little sweeter than the Pineapple flavor (that's my other favorite). There are chunks of cherries on the bottom, which was great because I love texture. Some of the flavors don't have chunks of fruit in them, instead they have fruit jelly texture on the bottom.
Organic pears from Trader Joes. Oh so crunchy and sweet!
Never had pears and cherries in one bite before, but this was a good combo.
Then sprinkled with homemade Coconut Nuts Granola.
Good workout + good breakfast = great morning!!
Did you notice the explosion of colors in the pictures?
On our way home from San Diego this weekend, we stopped by the Outlet Mall in Carlsbad. I stopped by my usual fave stores, Banana Republic and Crate & Barrel outlets.
I picked up a few placemats and napkins that were on clearance for $2. And because I am me, I picked the busiest pattern and the brightest colors. What can I say, I just love them.
To help convince myself that I needed all these items and had to buy them, I have worn and used all of the above this week.
Do you shop at outlet malls?
I love shopping at outlet malls. Most of my suits and work clothes were purchased at outlet stores. I think I can do 30 days straight wearing outlet mall clothes.
It WAS cold this morning. I went out for a run this morning but then ran back in immediately when I felt how cold it was outside. I stretched for 5 mins and then went out again. It was still cold but I convinced myself that the sooner I get back, the sooner I can go inside where it was warm.
I love outlet shopping. Especially the Nike store.
Which Nike outlet store do you go to? I think there's one at Cabazon and also in Las Vegas.
I run a couple of races during the year near the Camarillo Outlets. There is a huge outlet there. Camarillo is past Malibu northbound.
Love the new stuff! I do shop at outlet malls, but I don't get to them nearly as often as I'd like to!
I haven't seen the flavors for kids. Are they half the size? I read about the honey flavor from your blog.
I love the dryer idea. Nothing feels better than warm out of the dryer clothes.
I live for outlet mall shopping. No matter where we end up on Spring Break my mom and I always hit the outlets. I've gotten a ton of great finds there!
That yogurt looks so good and with cheeries love them had a big bowl of them raw yesterday. Yummmmy!
Also I haven't been at the outlet in years maybe this summer I'll hit the clearance rack and get some good deals.
Have a great day and your idea about putting them in the dryer is such a great idea.You mind me sharing that idea I'll definitely give you credit?
Yes, of course, please do share.
The more tricks we have on getting motivated to go to the gym in the morning the better. Once my workout clothes are all warm fresh from the dryer, it feels so good against my skin.
I love outlet malls. I pretty much purchase everything I own in the outlets.
I love the Carlsbad outlets! I haven't been there in a while, though.
I love those flats! I'm totally 100% an outlet shopper. The ones near us are fantastic.
Which one do you go to? I love Cabazon, Carlsbad and sometimes Citadel outlets. I used to go to this one in San Diego too when I lived there, I think it's the last exit before you hit the Mexico border.
Hmmm, I love shopping at outlet malls and clearance racks. I love finding high quality items for low prices. 🙂 Your finds are ADORABLE!
I really like outlet mall shopping. In fact, I am planning on browsing the outlets tomorrow. I pray I can find some cute clothes for cheap! So exciting when you get a great deal! 🙂 Love your new placemats & the flats! So cute!
ooh i love your new purchases. i love that flavor chobani and i bet it's awesome with pears. mmmm.

Getting married and considering a pre-nuptial agreement? Ward Hadaway can help
Protecting your assets with a 'pre-nup' is a sensible thing to do says Jonathan Flower, who is partner and head of family law at Ward Hadaway
Vicky Robson
The Family team at Ward Hadaway in Newcastle (from left) Cassandra Spenceley, Louise Cannell-Mirza, Sarah Crilly and Jonathan Flower
"Will you marry me . . . and sign this pre-nuptial agreement?" are not exactly the words normally envisaged when dreaming of an ideal engagement.
Nevertheless, whilst it may not seem like the most romantic of gestures, there are many advantages to couples giving consideration to a pre-nuptial/pre-civil partnership agreement when planning their future.
What is a Pre-Nuptial/Civil Partnership Agreement?
A Pre-Nuptial Agreement is a contract entered into by a couple prior to marriage/civil partnership which sets out which party owns, or will own, certain assets on any future breakdown of the relationship.
It will usually define "matrimonialproperty" and "non-matrimonial property" or "joint property" and "separate property".
Matrimonial property usually includes assets acquired during the marriage and assets held in joint names, such as the matrimonial home or joint bank accounts. Non-matrimonial or separate property usually includes assets owned before the marriage, inherited assets or gifts received by one party during the marriage.
The agreement can also deal with income, such as treatment of earnings and interests under trusts. Likewise, couples who are already married or in a civil partnership may wish to give thought to entering into a Post-Nuptial/Post-Civil Partnership Agreement.
It will work in the same way as a Pre-Nuptial/Pre-Civil Partnership Agreement and there is no difference in its legal status.
What are the advantages of entering into a Nuptial/Civil Partnership Agreement?
These agreements have a number of key advantages:
They give both partners certainty and are a sensible form of wealth protection.
If you have either inherited or been gifted property from family members or simply have acquired your own property portfolio before meeting your partner, it makes sense to consider what you wish to happen if you later divorced.
The agreement could also detail how the parties arrange their finances during the marriage.
It will also help to reduce legal fees as the issues for the court will be clearer and narrower in the event of adivorce. With the average cost of financial proceedings through the courts now being around £13,100 - and this is in small asset cases - it could help to reduce the costs of the process.
Are Nuptial/Civil Partnership agreements binding?
It is not currently possible to exclude the jurisdiction of the court in dealing with the breakdown of a marriage where there is a Nuptial/Civil Partnership agreement. However, the court will take an agreement into account as a consideration.
In 2010, the Supreme Court set out the following basic requirements for an agreement to be taken into account by the court:
There should be some disclosure between the parties, ideally full and frank disclosure of each party's circumstances;
The agreement must have been freely entered into by the parties; and The terms of the agreement on the face of it should be fair.
When considering fairness, the Supreme Court emphasised that the following three principles have been established by the court:
■■ Sharing – Each of the parties to a marriage should be entitled to an equal share of the assets of the marriage, unless there is some good reason why this should not be the case such as inherited assets;
■■ Needs – Fairness requires that provision is made for both parties' housing and other financial needs considering matters such as the parties' ages and earning capacities as well as their standard of living during the marriage; and
■■ Compensation – The court should also consider whether one party's financial situation is stronger as a result of how the parties divided their responsibilities during the marriage.
For example, one party may have given up their employment to care for children or to look after the household, leaving the other party free to pursue their career. The Supreme Court also held that in the case of a pre-nuptial agreement, the agreement should be signed at least 28 days before the marriage.
Each party should also have obtained independent legal advice before signing the agreement to ensure that each party has fully appreciated the implications of the agreement.
Further, a person's emotional state at the time of the making of the agreement is a relevant consideration, along with other factors such as the maturity and age of the parties and their previous experience of long term relationships. In the case of a pre-nuptial agreement, the court can also consider whether the marriage would have gone ahead without the agreement being put into place.
So while signing a Nuptial/Cohabitation Agreement will not feature in your typical romance novel, giving consideration to one is a sensible notion for any couples considering taking their relationship to the next step.

Acrocorinth by vasiliosgavrilis
Acrocorinth "Upper Corinth", the acropolis of ancient Corinth, is a monolithic rock overseeing the ancient city of Corinth, Greece. "It is the most impressive of the acropoleis of mainland Greece," in the estimation of George Forrest.[1] Acrocorinth was continuously occupied from archaic times to the early 19th century. The city's archaic acropolis, already an easily defensible position due to its geomorphology, was further heavily fortified during the Byzantine Empire as it became the seat of the strategos of the thema of Hellas and later of the Peloponnese.

Justinian's Church, I mean Mosque, scratch that I mean Museum by mpumilia
July 22, 2015 edaccessible
Captured this photo of the Hagia Sophia while on a trip to Turkey with my friend Brent. Amazing place.
Hagia Sophia (from the Greek: Ἁγία Σοφία, "Holy Wisdom"; Latin: Sancta Sophia or Sancta Sapientia; Turkish: Ayasofya) is a former Christian patriarchal basilica (church), later an imperial mosque, and now a museum (Ayasofya Müzesi) in Istanbul, Turkey. From the date of its construction in 537 until 1453, it served as an Eastern Orthodox cathedral and seat of the Patriarchate of Constantinople,[1] except between 1204 and 1261, when it was converted to a Roman Catholic cathedral under the Latin Empire. The building was a mosque from 29 May 1453 until 1931. It was then secularized and opened as a museum on 1 February 1935.[2]
The church was dedicated to the Wisdom of God, the Logos, the second person of the Holy Trinity,[3] its patronal feast taking place on 25 December, the commemoration of the birth of the incarnation of the Logos in Christ.[3] Although sometimes referred to as Sancta Sophia (as though it were named after Saint Sophia), sophia being the phonetic spelling in Latin of the Greek word for wisdom, its full name in Greek is Ναός τῆς Ἁγίας τοῦ Θεοῦ Σοφίας, "Shrine of the Holy Wisdom of God".[4][5]
Famous in particular for its massive dome, it is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture[6] and is said to have "changed the history of architecture".[7] It remained the world's largest cathedral for nearly a thousand years, until Seville Cathedral was completed in 1520. The current building was originally constructed as a church between 532 and 537 on the orders of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I and was the third Church of the Holy Wisdom to occupy the site, the previous two having both been destroyed by rioters. It was designed by the Greek scientists Isidore of Miletus and Anthemius of Tralles.[8]
The church contained a large collection of holy relics and featured, among other things, a 15-metre (49 ft) silver iconostasis. The focal point of the Eastern Orthodox Church for nearly one thousand years, the building witnessed the excommunication of Patriarch Michael I Cerularius on the part of Pope Leo IX in 1054, an act which is commonly considered the start of the Great Schism.
In 1453, Constantinople was conquered by the Ottoman Turks under Sultan Mehmed II, who ordered this main church of Orthodox Christianity converted into a mosque. By that point, the church had fallen into a state of disrepair. Nevertheless, the Christian cathedral made a strong impression on the new Ottoman rulers and they decided to convert it into a mosque.[9][10] The bells, altar, iconostasis, and sacrificial vessels and other relics were removed and the mosaics depicting Jesus, his Mother Mary, Christian saints and angels were also removed or plastered over. Islamic features—such as the mihrab, minbar, and four minarets—were added. It remained a mosque until 1931, when it was closed to the public for four years. It was re-opened in 1935 as a museum by the Republic of Turkey. Hagia Sophia is currently (2014) the second-most visited museum in Turkey, attracting almost 3.3 million visitors annually.[11]
From its initial conversion until the construction of the nearby larger Sultan Ahmed Mosque (Blue Mosque of Istanbul) in 1616, it was the principal mosque of Istanbul. The Hagia Sophia served as inspiration for many other Ottoman mosques, such as the Blue Mosque, the Şehzade Mosque, the Süleymaniye Mosque, the Rüstem Pasha Mosque and the Kılıç Ali Paşa Mosque.

Hello from the frozen tundras of the Midwest!
Hopefully anyone reading this is safe and warm and nor out in the nasty, nasty cold that' gripping most of the county.
Today I decided as a distraction I'd take a dip back in time to some early CD releases of three of my favorite albums – "All Things Must Pass" by George Harrison, "Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd and "Scarecrow" by John Cougar Mellencamp.
All three of these CDs were issued between 1984 and 1987 and feature nice warm sound and are somewhat sought after by music collectors who want to hear these albums in the best (of course this is debatable) sound of the CD age.
At least these CD issues are easier on the ears then some of their later CD issues and while not all agree on the sound I personally think all three sound really nice and while not perfect are some of the best version of these albums released on CD.
Let's begin with one of my favorite releases by any of the ex-Beatles, the triple vinyl LP masterpiece by George Harrison originally first released in 1970.
In a much earlier post I highlighted what most people feel is the best representation of this album on CD – the first Japanese issue which was also released in 1987 when this CD came out in the UK.
This first UK CD issue shares practically the same mastering as the first Japanese issue and features some of the same quirks – volume differences between songs especially the very low volume of the title track "All Things Must Pass".
AS I understand it both this first UK issue and the first Japanese issue were not treated to the no-noise noise reduction process that plagued later CD issues of this album thus both, while certainly not perfect by any means, are preferred by many as when they get it right, which is most of the album, the sound is very nice.
I own both this first UK CD issue as well as the first Japanese issue and while I would give the Japanese issue the edge really this first UK CD issue sounds very near the Japanese issue and is better then the CD issue Capitol Records released in the U.S. after these two CD releases came out.
There were several complaints about the sound of the first CD issues of this album so much that the CD was quickly deleted, treated with the no-noise process and then reissued thus this early UK CD version (as well as the Japanese) are harder to find nowadays and very collectible.
You can tell a first UK CD issue by the three dots in a triangle (see photos above) near the CD matrix number CDP 7 46689 2.
While I've never actually heard a bad CD version of this album on CD, I and many other people, feel this early CD mastering od this album is the best sounding version ever released on CD.
The "holy grail" CD version of this CD, and the one that commands the most desirability and cash, is the first Japanese issue this of this album which came out in 1983.
While I don't own that version fortunately this first U.S, CD issue shares that same mastering and is much easier to find and sounds just as sweet.
Though this CD was supposedly mastered from a Japanese copy of the master tape it still retains a warmness and punch that very pleasing and sounds just great.
If you're looking to find this particular CD version make sure to look out for the Harvest logo on the cover and disc as well as the "Made in Japan" wording on the back cover and disc and the catalog number on the discs inner circle – CP35-3017 – followed by, as on the case of my CD – 21A2 or numbers like it.
The key is the CP35-3017 number as that's the same number as the first Japanese issue. There is another pressing of this disc that adds TO to the number which is supposedly not quite as nice sounding but I don't own that version so I can't say but I'd imagine it would sound very close to this CD and would be a nice find.
Now we jump into the 1980's with the 1985 release by John Cougar Mellencamp titled simply "Scarecrow".
This is the album that made me stand up and take notice of Mellencamp as it's filled with classic songs like the haunting opening track "Rain on the Scarecrow", the wistful "Minutes to Memories" and the heartfelt and fragile "Between and Laugh and a Tear" sung with Rickie Lee Jones.
This first CD pressing, like many early CD pressings that were made in West Germany, is very similar to the vinyl issue and is warm, not in your face and sounds much much nicer than later CD reissues of this album, barring the superb MFSL gold CD pressing, which jack up the sound making the album too compressed and overly loud and obnoxious.
This Early CD version is fairly easy to locate in used bins just make sure you look for the Made in West Germany wording at least on the disc. Some Made in West Germany copies may come in copies that don't say "Made in West Germany on the cover so check the discs.
Well that's all for now folks!
Until next time and hopefully much warmer weather – stay safe and play some old music!
Mellencamp is one of my all time favorites. His music is so "from the heart" and so relatable. Can't wait to see him next month!!!
He's so good live too! Have fun, I'm sure it will be a great show!!


OK, let's finish off our Cigar Box Guitar.
If you haven't already read parts one and two, they can be found here: http://diystrat.blogspot.com/2012/06/making-cigar-box-guitar-part-1.html and here: http://diystrat.blogspot.com/2012/07/making-cigar-box-guitar-part-2.html.
It's not a perfect colour match, but I think it gives it some personality.
I should add here that since this will be a slide guitar only, we won't need any proper frets, just markers.
Then figure out where to put the pot. At first I wanted to put it close to the back end of the guitar top, but this wouldn't work, as it would be banging into the jack when we try to close the box, so instead it's moved forwards a bit.
Now we fit the pot and scrape the back of it so that it's easy to melt a blob of solder onto the back of it.
Piezos are very sensitive, acoustically speaking, so we need to add some padding around ours so that it doesn't pick up too much unwanted noise. To achieve this, two pieces of very thin wood are cut out and smothered with white glue and the piezo is sandwiched in-between them, making sure there's room for the wires and the solder blobs.
Making the sandwich. Mmmm… sandwich.
Note that the wood I used above was FAR TOO THICK and I had to go back and repeat this step with a much, much thinner solution.
All right, finally (for the electronics), the pickup sandwich is glued into place. Make sure you glue it somewhere that is not going to interfere with closing the box (e.g. don't glue it in the middle only to find that you haven't accounted for the neck).
Great Job! Looking forward do listen the results on a video!
so THAT's how you make them.pretty damn cool.
I don't even know how to play... and I'm thinking about building one! Nice job.

paladin | That Was an Accident!
Pretty Fly for a Super Low Leveled Draenai?
And then I said, man, blood elves. It's just not … it's not me.
For the record, I don't mind that blood elves are Very Pretty People. In fact, I make a point of flirting with all long-haired male blood elves I find in LFD/LFR, just to see what the Very Pretty People will do. I don't mind that blood elves are practically 3/4ths of the Horde when lorewise, they really ought to be but a fraction. No, it's the emotes.
Every time I laugh, I want to stab things. Every time I /silly as a blood elf, I feel like I've poured acid onto my soul. The female blood elf emotes make me think, "Sheesh, I really ought to go back and play more as a Forsaken." I just can't stand the female blood elf emotes. Their existence prevents me from ever really liking being a blood elf. Even though Violaryn-turned-Daschela made it to level 87, I could NOT get past the meh.
See, normally, alts that have the "meh problem" die somewhere before I hit Burning Crusade. Violaryn-turned-Daschela existed for one purpose only, and that was skimpy transmog – one set in particular. Because Transmog Trumps All and the ONLY boots that would do required her to be level 85, she survived long past her expiration date. Once the desired set was done, I still didn't like her. Hell, it was worse – I just didn't CARE anymore.
She has been deleted so that I might try Holy paladerping from the ground up, as Daschela the Draenai Derpadin.

Thoughts: If Helen of Troy had the face that launched a thousand ships, then this is the transmog set that launched one alt and a bazillion plans that still haven't been finished (yet). I almost called this the "Dat Ash" Set, but I maintain some pretense of dignity.
This is the set my sole blood elf was made for and undeleted for. I had a moment of brilliance (Ermagerdda would be a GREAT name for a dwarf or an orc), combined with residual feelings of guilt (ERMAGERD ANOTHER BLOOD ELF THEY'RE LIKE 2/3RDS OF THE HORDE WTF), which mixed with the conversation of some friends who like to talk up how awesome warrior is. So I deleted the blood elf and made Ermagerdda the Orc Warrior, only to realize that this set, as-is, can only be done on a paladin, what with the class-specific gear and all. Craaaaap.
Seriously, I wouldn't go to some of these places if I didn't have to.

Of course, looking at those shots, you CAN'T SEE the accursed gloves that caused me so much trouble! So here's a screenshot where they are obviously visible (though I was experimenting with a different weapon and shield). I'm not entirely happy with the mace/shield combo, but whatever. GLOVES.
You see, once upon a long time ago, a lowbie paladerp named Niremere decided that she had to level insanely fast in order to be able to take part in the Theramore event. This traumatic experience left the corpses of countless brain cells in its wake, which is probably why I decided that only the Gloves of the Swarm would do for this getup. In turn, because life is life and my luck is bad, this meant that the Gloves of the Swarm NEVER FREAKING DROPPED. As a result of THAT, yours truly lost STILL MORE brain cells, which is the most likely explanation as to why I KEPT ON TRYING. (Either that, or stubbornness. Either one.) Thanks to the magic of Deadly Boss Mods, I am able to quantify my suffering at approximately one bazillion kills. Yes, that is an accurate number.
This outfit was intended to be Niremere's formal plate set for Important Occasions, even though I never roleplay and she's been wearing it FOREVER AND ALL THE TIME anyway. I'm not sure if it's the stereotypical Alliance paladin color scheme – blue, gold and white – or what, but this has been one of maybe three outfits I've put together that has actually inspired perfect strangers to whisper me and say something, and currently holds the title (or something) of receiving the most comments in-game. The second most-commented outfit is technically platekini. Go figure!
Sure, they'd like me more in platekini, but whatevs!
This outfit could technically qualify for Project Platekini as it includes the Templar's Legplates, which expose some random thigh (ONLY in the front, not in the back. Don't know why). I came up with this getup before I ever thought of Project Platekini, however, so I'm not going to tag it as part of it.

 Members of the Navajo Nation Public Safety Committee pose for a photo. The committee lobbied in Washington recently to secure a portion of a $2 billion authorization bill for public safety needs for the Navajo Nation. Pictured from left to right are: Delores Greyeyes, Director of Navajo Department of Corrections along with Council Delegates Rex Lee Jim (second from left), Hope MacDonald-Lone Tree (second from right) and Benjamin Curley (right).
Originally Published: October 28, 2008 1:24 p.m.
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The 21st Navajo Nation Council's Public Safety Committee has an important mission - to lobby for full funding for Indian Country. Recently, the committee conducted an important lobbying effort for the appropriation of a $2 billion authorization bill that was first approved by the U.S. Senate on July 16 through a bill titled, the Kyl-Thune Amendment.
The amendment is intended to provide $2 billion for public safety, health care and water projects in Indian Country, and it states that $1 billion will go towards law enforcement and improved health care, with another $1 billion going towards water projects.
The funding is being appropriated from a $50 billion foreign assistance bill aimed at combating the spread of AIDS worldwide.
The Public Safety Committee has been instrumental in advocating for increased funding in Indian Country and continues to push forward a bill that will make construction of jail facilities a reality.
Hope MacDonald-Lone Tree (Coalmine Canyon/Toh Nanees Dizi) explained, "We were enthusiastically greeted and informed that we were the first tribe to meet with Washington officials to strategize a plan to fund the $2 billion authorization."
The committee was informed that packets of information the committee presented was necessary and well timed, since the Congressional staffers plan to meet soon to strategize funding of the authorization bill.
Staff from Sen. Tim Thune's (R-SD) office informed the committee that they plan to make every attempt to fund the $2 billion and build a new coalition to support the effort.
MacDonald-Lone Tree said, "Our meeting with the White House's Office of Management and Budget allowed us to engage the analysts and share ideas on how to address the lack of jails in Indian Country."
After extending an invitation to visit the Navajo Nation, the committee is pleased to report that the analysts were open and interested in touring its facilities and programs.
The committee also met with the DOJ's Office of Tribal Justice Programs to ask that information regarding the lack of Navajo facilities is included in their transitional report, which they assured will be included for the next administration.
The committee also met with staff from the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs to determine what their strategy is to fund the $2 billion authorization. The Senate Committee staff indicated that they will be working with the new congressional members to begin planning for the funding strategy with the coalition.
The committee was also notified that the Navajo Nation was awarded $2.3 million worth of grants for repairs and renovations for its current jail facilities.
"The $2.3 million was great news for the Navajo Nation," said Delores Greyeyes, director of the Navajo Department of Corrections. "It took years of hard work to educate officials on our issues, to lobby with our Public Safety Committee for increased funding. We are eager to partner with the congressional coalition to fund the $750 million public safety fund as well."
Rex Lee Jim (Rock Point), chair of the Public Safety Committee said, "We were successful with our trip to Washington. Our committee has worked hard in educating the U.S. Congress and the administrative offices in Washington on the tremendous needs we have in Navajo Country regarding our public safety issues."
"We worked with the Navajo Division of Public Safety to secure more funding for correctional facilities," Jim said. "As chair of the committee, I am extremely grateful for staff like Ms. Delores Greyeyes, she has spent a tremendous amount of time and energy writing grants for the program. Her diligence has paid off in the form of $2.3 million for the planning and renovations of our correctional facilities."
"It takes a team to bring about concrete results and I thank all members of the Public Safety Committee and the Navajo Division of Public Safety for their help in moving our issues forward," Jim added. "We still have much work to do - results like this keep us going and motivated."
