First Look at New Apartments Planned Near Sawtelle Boulevard
Six-story, 119-unit development to replace gas station.
October 22, 2018, 1:00PMSteven Sharp Comments
Items posted by the West L.A. Sawtelle Neighborhood Council offer a first look at a proposed mixed-use development set to replace a gas station near Sawtelle Boulevard.
The project, which would rise at 11261 W. Santa Monica Boulevard, calls for the construction of a six-story building containing 119 dwelling units and parking for 135 vehicles on two basement levels. As developer BLT Enterprises is seeking entitlements through the Transit Oriented Communities guidelines, the proposed apartment building would set aside 17 of its studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments as affordable housing.
KFA Architecture is designing the proposed development, which would consist of five frames of wood-frame construction - wrapped with plaster and fiber cement panels - above a concrete podium. Although the project would not feature ground-floor retail uses, plans call for placing its fitness center and main entrance along Santa Monica Boulevard. Architectural plans show amenity decks at the podium and roof levels of the building.
A timeline for the project has not been announced.
BLT's proposed apartment building would rise two blocks west of the corner of Santa Monica and Purdue Avenue, where construction is underway for a similar multifamily residential development at the former site of the Dolores Restaurant.

Hello! Earlier this month Mr. Panda and I went to Tokyo Disney Sea for Valentine Nights 2014 with my parents. It had just snowed a large amount the day before and we were a bit worried about driving, but it was all fine and we got their safely. We actually went down the night before and stayed in a lovely hotel, but that's another post. Today I'll just share a few photos from then with you.
Shellie May was on the Today for February!
Too bad she wasn't wearing her Sweet Duffy 2014 costume.
Snow on Prometheus! I believe quite a bit had melted at this point.
Of course we had to make a visit to one of my favorite places in the park.
…..Uh, excuse me, Mr. Panda.
It was still a bit cloudy, but Mermaid Lagoon looked beautiful as always.
Okay, Mr. Panda, you can be in the photo.
Did you know that there are Hidden Mickey's all over the outside of Mermaid Lagoon?
Mr. Panda kindly showing everyone where the Hidden Mickey is.
Can you spot the Hidden Mickey in this picture?
No Hidden Mickey's in this picture as far as I can tell, but the sky started to clear up!
I'm going to Japan next week!
On the following week going to Disneyland so exciting!!! Yay!
Awww… You are so lucky you stay in Japan! I love Disneyland but none here! I love your videos on Youtube and you are my favourite channel. Keep up the good work and check out my blog!
I would love to visit all of the Disney Parks!

General Motors has recalled 224,000 1998/1999 Cadillac Deville Sedans. As a result of a defective side impact sensor module, the vehicle's airbag may either unintentionally deploy or not deploy at all. To date, there have been 306 reports of the sensor malfunction. Of these, 61 of the incidents have resulted in minor injuries such as cuts and bruises. Deemed as "the responsive thing to do", General Motors started notifying owners of the vehicle by mail commencing Sept. 25th, 2000. At present, the requisite replacement parts are out of stock, as they were no longer manufactured. However, General Motors has commissioned the original manufacturer of the sensor to produce a replacement part, of which will be available in the first quarter of 2001.
In this potential product liability case, the three parties involved as defendants are the Manufacturer of the Sensor, General Motors, the vendor of the vehicle. The plaintiffs of the case would be the buyer/consumer of the Cadillac Deville Sedan and/or any injured parties who incurred damages as a result of the faulty side impact sensor.
a)	The manufacturing of the said goods.
b)	The goods manufactured by the company have an intrinsic danger associated with them.
c)	The manufacturer of the said goods failed in its responsibility to warn the consumer of the danger.
If General Motors does not meet the aforementioned standards of care to the ultimate consumer, than General Motors can be sued by the owner of the vehicle (plaintiff) under tort law for negligence and/or contract law for a breach of contract. Furthermore, General Motors may also be found liable in its failure to meet the duty to warn of a continuing nature. However, the scope of the paper limits the analysis exclusively to establishing negligence.
1)	Is there a Duty of Care toward the injured party?
Indisputably, General Motors has a duty of care. The responsibility of a manufacturer was established in Donaghue v. Stevenson, (1932) A.C. 562, which established the principle that manufacturers have the duty to ensure that the ultimate consumers of their product do not sustain injuries as a result of the use of their products. Manufacturers of goods and services are subject to a high duty of care given that these businesses commercially profit from the purchase and use of their products.


You know summer is in full swing when the wine news is abuzz about this year's 39% growth in sales of dry rosé wines.
As an early advocate for dry rosés (these are not your parent's white Zins, which had over 5% residual sugars!) I take this as a sign that our wine palate is catching up with our foodways. As our diet becomes increasingly influenced by the fresh, flavorful foods of the Mediterranean diet, we're learning that lighter wines work deliciously well.
In general, dry Rosés are some of the most versatile food partners this side of dry sparkling wines. That is, unless the rosé is too high in alcohol, which masks the fruit characteristics that make these wines such good food partners. Buying tip #1 – look for rosés with alcohol below 15% (below 14% is even better, though often difficult to find) unless you simply want a porch-side buzz on a hot summer day. Which, actually, isn't such a great idea unless you're immune to hangovers.
Low Alcohol Level – As noted above, lower alcohol rosés show better fruit characteristics and tend to be more enjoyable with food. I use 15% as my maximum, but prefer a rosé between 13.5% and 14.5%.
Featured Rosés – We will rotate fresh discoveries into our new Rosé Section through the end of fall. Check back often!
Ortman Family Vineyards, 2006 Syrah Rosé, $16 – Grown and produced with rosé in mind! Lavender, Strawberry, Watermelon and Honey.
Tudor Wines, the Radog 2005 Rhone-Style Rosé, $13 – This wine recalls hot summer days in Provence where one's biggest decision is whether to order rosé or pastis.
Buttonwood – 2006 Rosé, $16 – Stylistically, this wine comes in somewhere between the famous rosés of Provence and those from the Loire. Delicious, no matter where your geographic loyalties lie!


I appeared on Rebel Media last night with Ezra Levant to discuss President-elect Trump's brilliant smackdown of a vicious pack of wolves, otherwise known as the enemedia, at his first press conference of 2017.
BuzzFeed published a story claiming that Russia had secret video tapes of Donald Trump engaged in bizarre sexual activities with prostitutes, and that this compromising material had turned Trump into a Manchurian candidate, a Russian spy essentially.
TONIGHT's guests: Pamela Geller joins me to talk more about what this embarrassing disaster means for the future of the mainstream media; then activist Robbie Picard tells me about his confrontation with Jane Fonda, who was in Alberta to criticize the oil sands.


The scheme will deliver increased passenger capacity through a reconfigured and extended airport car park infrastructure and parking product. LGF will be offered in the form of a repayable loan.
This project, which is currently in development and will be delivered in two phases, includes a contribution from the Government's Local Growth Fund resources which is part of the Government's continued investment in the Northern Powerhouse.

Hurricane Laura batters US Gulf Coast with wind, rain and massive storm surge
A tattered American flag blows in the wind in the aftermath of Hurricane Laura, in Port Arthur, Texas (Eric Gay/PA)
Hurricane Laura pounded the Gulf Coast with ferocious winds and torrential rain and unleashed a wall of seawater that could push 40 miles inland as the Category 4 storm roared ashore in Louisiana.
It battered a tall building in Lake Charles, blowing out windows as glass and debris flew to the ground, while a floating casino came unmoored and hit a bridge.
But hours after the hurricane made landfall near the Texas border, the wind and rain were still too severe to allow authorities to check for survivors.
Hundreds of thousands of people were ordered to evacuate ahead of the hurricane, but not everyone did so.

Local officials reported taking numerous calls from people stranded, but voiced concern help could not be sent while the conditions remained dangerous.
The eye passed directly over Lake Charles, and drone footage shows roofs ripped off, exposing living rooms to the elements, trees downed and water overflowing the banks of coastal properties.
Federal Emergency Management Agency administrator Peter Gaynor said the damage reported so far appeared to be less severe than had been feared, but he expects there to have been significant wind damage to buildings once proper surveys of the disaster area are completed.
The National Hurricane Centre said Laura slammed the coast with winds of 150mph at 1am local time near Cameron, a 400-person community about 30 miles east of the Texas border. Forecasters had warned the storm surge would be "unsurvivable" and the damage "catastrophic".
They predicted a storm surge of 15-20ft in Port Arthur, Texas, and a stretch of Louisiana including Lake Charles, a city of 80,000 people on Lake Calcasieu.

"This surge could penetrate up to 40 miles inland from the immediate coastline, and floodwaters will not fully recede for several days," the hurricane centre said.
Hours after it arrived, Laura weakened to a Category 2 hurricane, with sustained winds of 100mph.
It is moving north, with damaging winds extending outward as far as 175 miles.
In Cameron Parish, where Laura came ashore, Mr Nungesser said 50 to 150 people refused pleas to leave and planned to endure the storm, some in elevated homes and even in recreational vehicles.
Mr Gaynor urged people in Laura's path to stay at home, if that is still safe. "Don't go out sightseeing. You put yourself, your family at risk, and you put first responders at risk," he told This Morning on CBS.

Forecasters expect a weakened Laura to cause widespread flash flooding in states far from the coast. An unusual tropical storm warning was issued as far north as Little Rock, where forecasters expect gusts of 50mph and a deluge of rain into Friday.
The storm is so powerful that it could regain strength after turning east and reaching the Atlantic Ocean, potentially threatening the densely populated north-east.
Laura hit the US after killing nearly two dozen people on the island of Hispaniola – 20 in Haiti and three in the Dominican Republic.
It is the seventh named storm to strike the US this year, setting a new record for landfalls by the end of August. The old record was six in 1886 and 1916, according to Colorado State University hurricane researcher Phil Klotzbach.

Leaders of the Gauteng Shutdown Coordination Committee marched to the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) in Sandton, Johannesburg, on Tuesday, October 9 2018, where they handed over a memorandum demanding that coloured people be included in the economy of the country.
Civil society representing the coloured community says its campaign to raise awareness of their neglect in government and business will grow from strength to strength.
On Tuesday, a group of about 20 representatives marched to the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) in Sandton, demanding that the entity ensures that coloureds benefit from economic activity and ownership of the stocks.
In a letter submitted to the JSE, the Gauteng Shutdown Coordinating Committee demanded to know how many coloureds benefited from the JSE's social responsibility programmes. The committee also demanded to know how many people from the coloured community are represented at various levels at the JSE.
One resident' Jerome Lottering' said' "Coloured people are tired of what is going on in the new South Africa."
"We are the first nation people, not only of South Africa but of the world. It is very disturbing to know that you've fought so hard in the Struggle...but when we came to democracy they just left us behind. We've been punished for political reasons...We're calling on the president of South Africa and the business community that they must sit back and observe that they have left the coloured community outside," said committee coordinator Arthur Williams.
Coloured communities have complained over the years that they have been ignored by the government and there is no economic development in their communities. Recent protests took place in Westbury where residents took to the streets to protest against gangs in their neighbourhood. The violent protests forced police minister Bheki Cele to deploy the Tactical Response Unit in the area.
The Gauteng Shutdown Coordinating Committee represents different communities in the province who feel marginalised by the ANC-led government.
The ANC government has never built RDP houses in coloured areas.

Support stronger air pollution standards
Tighter standards for air pollution could save lives.
SOURCEBullhorn
Over 90% of the world's population resides in areas where air pollution levels are alarmingly high. Air pollution has become a public health emergency.
According to a new study by the World Health Organization (WHO), millions of people die annually because of exposure to pollution. "To date, air pollution — both ambient (outdoor) and household (indoor) — is the biggest environmental risk to health, carrying responsibility for about one in every nine deaths annually," the report states. "Air pollution continues to rise at an alarming rate, and affects economies and people's quality of life; it is a public health emergency."
But a new report released by the American Thoracic Society and the Marron Institute of Urban Management at New York University shows that stricter air pollution standards could have health benefits.
The standards advocate 60 parts per billion (ppb) 8-hour standard for ozone (compared with the EPA's standard of 70 ppb). They suggest a standard of 11 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3) annually for PM2.5, rather than the EPA's 12 µg/m3 annual standard.
The report calculates that adhering to these stronger pollution standards could save 9,320 lives in the United States per year, could reduce serious health events (morbidities), such as heart attacks, hospital admissions and emergency room visits, by 21,400; and decrease "adverse impact days," during which people may not be able to work, go to school or otherwise be physically active because of severe breathing problems, by 19,300,000 days.
This new report shows that tighter standards for air pollution could save lives. Sign the petition to tell the EPA to adopt stronger air pollution standards to combat this public health emergency.

Q: Upstart If Statements Executing Illogically I made an upstart script which breaks my expectations entirely.
stupid-test.conf
script
  VALUE="PONG"
  echo "START" >> /var/log/stupid-test.log
  if [ "$VALUE" == "PONG" ]; then
    echo "GOOD PONG" >> /var/log/stupid-test.log
  fi
  if [ "$VALUE" != "PONG" ]; then
    echo "BAD PONG" >> /var/log/stupid-test.log
  fi
  if [ "$VALUE" == "PING" ]; then
    echo "BAD PING" >> /var/log/stupid-test.log
  fi
  if [ "$VALUE" != "PING" ]; then
    echo "GOOD PING" >> /var/log/stupid-test.log
  fi
  echo >> /var/log/stupid-test.log
end script

stupid-test.log
START
GOOD PING

Naturally, if you execute the exact same commands in bash, it works perfectly:
START
GOOD PONG
GOOD PING

This appears to work for anything you can put in VALUE--I've tried integers and strings.

A: Use = rather than == when performing equality tests. == is a bash extension, and it's not available in the shell that upstart runs.  Upstart runs all scripts using /bin/sh -e. On Ubuntu systems, /bin/sh is dash, not bash.

What To Do in Florence… On a Monday
If you're planning to be in Florence on a Monday while you're traveling in Italy, you'll quickly notice that many of the city's must-see sites are… closed. The Accademia closes on Mondays, as does the Uffizi. So does the Palazzo Pitti.
We run some amazing tours in Florence, but we also want to make sure you enjoy every second of your holiday, so here's our guide to the best sites open on Mondays in Florence.
The don't-miss Duomo and the glorious Baptistery
You can't miss Florence's Duomo, and don't worry — it's even open on Mondays
Perhaps Florence's most famous church, the Duomo is also the city's most popular stop. And if you're here on a Monday, you're still in luck—the Duomo is open from 10am to 5pm. Feel like a hike? You can climb the 463 steps of the dome, open from 8:30am-7pm, or the 14th-century belltower begun by Giotto (414 steps!), open from 8:30am-7:30pm.
The beautiful ceiling of the Baptistery
And don't miss the Baptistery. You can stop by any time, of course, to admire its exterior Gates of Paradise, an early 15th-century rendering of some of the Bible's most dramatic scenes. But if you want to actually enter the Baptistery—Florence's oldest building, and resplendent with shimmering ceiling mosaics from the 13th century—then you're good to go on Mondays. It's open from 12:15pm-7pm.
For more information about the Duomo and Baptistery, click here. The Duomo is free; climbing the dome costs €8, no reductions; climbing the campanile costs €6, no reductions; the Baptistery costs €4, no reductions.
Museo dell'Opera del Duomo and Michelangelo's (other) Pietà
Michelangelo's (other) Pieta, which you can visit on a Monday!
Not all of Florence's museums are closed on Mondays. One that remains open is the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo, open 9am-7:30pm. It also happens to be Florence's second-largest museum, a vast but navigable collection of Renaissance masterpieces. Among the best: Donatello's statues for the Duomo's campanile, the elaborate choir-lofts by Donatello and Luca della Robbia, Brunelleschi's death mask, and Ghiberti's original bronze panels for the Baptistery. That's not to mention Michelangelo's Pietà. No, not that Pietà—instead, the one he was working on when he was almost 80 years old… and that he intended for his own tomb. It'll put shivers up your spine.
The Museo dell'Opera del Duomo is located at Piazza del Duomo 9. All tickets cost €6.
The Bargello, Florence's biggest museum – and home to the "first" David
Depending on which Monday you're in town, the Bargello, Florence's largest museum, just might be open. That's because it's closed on the first, third, and fifth Mondays of the month and the second and fourth Sunday of every month. If you do happen to be there the other Mondays, you'll find it much more tranquil than the packed Accademia and Uffizi. The 13th-century palazzo is full of gems. Don't miss Michelangelo's first big piece, the Bacchus that he carved at a tender 22 years old; Giambologna's famous Mercury; or Donatello's David, the sculpture of David before Michelangelo got to his version.
The Bargello is located at Via del Proconsolo 4. It costs €4 adults or €2 for E.U. citizens between 18-25 years old, and is free for E.U. citizens under 18 or over 65.
The Brancacci Chapel, one of Florence's best art gems
Check out these gorgeous frescoes on a Monday
Open on Mondays from 10am-5pm, the Cappella Brancacci of the Church of Santa Maria del Carmine also happens to be a must-see. That's because Masaccio, the "father" of the Renaissance, started frescoing it in 1424… only to die shortly after. Enter Filippino Lippi, who finished the work 66 years later. That means that the frescoes are not only gorgeous, but show two different moments in Renaissance art.
The church is located on Piazza del Carmine. Entrance costs €4 for adults, €3 for those aged 18-25 and over 65, €1.50 for those aged 4-17, €9.50 for a family of 2 adults + 2 kids or €11 for 2 adults + 3 kids.
The Museo Galileo, a kid-friendly peek at Renaissance science
Even in Florence, the Renaissance wasn't all art and architecture. For a break from nudes and frescoes, get yourself to Florence's Museo Galileo, open from 9:30am-6pm on Mondays. The museum, a great option for kids, offers a real glimpse into the leaps made in science in the Renaissance era. It's got everything from Galileo's original instruments (including the lens he used to find the four moons of Jupiter) to a mechanical calculator from 1664 and even, most disturbingly at all, the middle finger of Galileo's right hand, taken while he was being reinterred in Santa Croce after the posthumous decision that, actually, his heliocentric view of the universe didn't really merit his Inquisition indictment.
The Museo Galileo is located near the Uffizi at Piazza dei Giudici 1. Tickets cost €8 adults, €5 for children aged 7-18 or seniors over 65, free for children 6 and under. The family ticket costs €20 for 2 adults + 2 children under 18.
The Museo Archeologico
An Etruscan sarcophagus from the 2nd century B.C., one of the many gems of the National Archaeological Museum
Want to take a break from the Renaissance? Then delve back even further into Italy's past. The city's archaeological museum, open from 2pm-7pm on Mondays, is fantastic, with such masterpieces as this ancient Etruscan tomb (above), a sarcophagus from the 4th century B.C. that still has its painted scenes of battling Amazons, and the famous Chimera of Arezzo, a lifelike bronze lion from the 5th century B.C. If the upstairs section is closed, just ask for someone to open it.
The Archaeological Museum is located at Via della Colonna 36. It costs €4 adults, €2 for E.U. citizens between 18-25 years old and free for E.U. citizens under 18 or over 65.
Fantastic frescoes and Machiavelli's office at the Palazzo Vecchio
You'll run across the Palazzo Vecchio, the imposing, medieval fortress that served as the seat of the Florentine Republic, often while in Florence. So why not check out what's inside? Open from 9am-7pm on Mondays, the Palazzo Vecchio includes the sumptuously-decorated rooms of the Medici family; Machiavelli's office; Donatello's Judith and Holofernes; and the famed Salone dei Cinquecento, where Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo were meant to have a fresco face-off—but where Vasari painted over their attempts. Debate still ranges as to whether the masters' original frescoes are hiding behind Vasari's!
The Palazzo Vecchio costs €6 adults, €4.50 for those aged 18-25 and over 65, or €2 for children aged 4-17. The family ticket costs €14 for 2 adults + 2 children or €16 for 2 adults + 3 children.
A museum that's only open Mondays: Orsanmichele
For once, it's actually good if you're in Florence on a Monday—that's the only day the museum is open! The Church of Orsanmichele is famous for its facade, which is decorated with statues, done between 1340 and 1602, that were each done by a different Florentine guild. Artists involved were among the city's best, including Ghiberti, Donatello, Pisano, and Giambologna. One by one, however, these statues are being restored and moved inside for their protection… into the museum. And guess what? Both the church and the museum are free.
The church and museum of Orsanmichele are located on Via Arte della Lana. The church is open from 10am-5pm all weekdays, the museum 10am-5pm Monday only.
The museum and church of Santa Maria Novella
One of Florence's most beautiful churches, Santa Maria Novella is a Gothic masterpiece—and both it and its museum are open on Monday. Its real gems are all Renaissance, from a fresco by Masaccio to a crucifix by Giotto. Don't miss the gorgeous frescoes by Filippino Lippi in the Strozzi chapel. When you're done, wander into the Museo di Santa Maria Novella, open from 9am-5:30pm on Mondays. It's a series of hidden, elaborately-frescoed cloisters, the Spanish Chapel with its 14th-century frescoes, and an exhibition of glittering vestments and liturgical treasures.
The museum and church of Santa Maria Novella are located at Piazza Santa Maria Novella. Church entrance costs €3.50, museum entrance €2.70.
The Boboli gardens
The Mannerist sculptures of the grotto in the Boboli gardens
Need a break in the great outdoors? Then you're in luck… maybe. The Boboli gardens, the enormous, formal gardens of the Palazzo Pitti, are open every Monday except for the first and last Monday of the month. As well as filled with beautiful landscaping, the garden boasts the Grotta del Buontalenti, a bizarre Mannerist grotto, filled with sculptures.
The Boboli Gardens open at 8:15am and close at 4:30pm Nov.-Feb., 5:30pm March and in October when DST ends, 6:30pm April, May, Sept. and Oct., and 7:30pm in June and August. Entrance is €7, which includes entrance to the Silver Museum, Costume Gallery, Porcelain Museum and Bardini Gardens, or €3.50 for E.U. citizens between 18 and 25 years old.
The church, library, and Medici chapels of San Lorenzo
The Church of San Lorenzo boasts a number of gems inside…
If you're a Michelangelo fan, you must make it to San Lorenzo. The church, supposed to be Michelangelo's masterpiece, remained unfinished, giving the exterior rough and almost sad look. But head inside the church, open from 10am-5pm on Mondays, for a treat: bronze pulpits by Donatello, the last work by the artist who had such a huge influence on Michelangelo.
One of San Lorenzo's neatest offerings, though, is the Biblioteca Laurenziana, open Mondays from 9:30am-1:30pm. An architectural delight, this library was designed by Michelangelo for the Medicis in 1524, and absolutely revolutionized architecture with its staircase that looks like it's spilling and its columns that sink into walls. Meanwhile, the Medici Chapels, open on the second and fourth Monday of each month from 8:15am-5pm, serve as the resting place for some of the Medici family's most important members… and for some of Michelangelo's most important sculptures, which he created as tombs for his influential patrons.
The library and basilica are located at Piazza San Lorenzo. The basilica costs €3.50; the library costs €3 or €2.50 with a ticket from the Basilica of San Lorenzo. The Medici Chapels, located at Piazza Madonna degli Aldobrandini, cost €6 adults, €4 for E.U. citizens between 18 and 25 and free for E.U. citizens under 18 or over 65.
5 responses to "What To Do in Florence… On a Monday"
I took my kids to the Galileo museum when we were in Florence a couple of weeks ago. My 7 year old enjoyed it but I had to remove my 2 year old because some of the exhibits were in toddler touching reach. Of course, he screamed when I wouldn't let him push them over. :/ Anyway, it is a good museum for kids that can handle looking but not touching.
Best Suggestion? Don't go on Monday!

The Museo Nazionale del Bargello is NOT open on the first, third, and fifth Monday's of the month, but the exact opposite. The signage at the museum clearly states, "Closed 1st, 3rd and 5th Monday and the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month"

Hi Hope,
Thank you for drawing that to our attention! We've updated the post accordingly.

Russia's Security Council Secretary holds talks in Middle East
Russia's Security Council Secretary, Igor Ivanov, has met with President Mahmoud Abbas and other members of the Palestinian leadership in Ramallah. Earlier, Mr Ivanov held talks in Israel as part of his Middle East three-day tour.
In just a few days Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will sit down in the first of a series of meetings aimed at jumpstarting the stalled Middle East peace process. This is why the timing of the visit by the Secretary of the Russian Security Council Igor Ivanov is so critical.
On Thursday, Igor Ivanov met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Foreign Minister Ziad Abu Amr in the West Bank city of Ramallah.
President Abbas briefed Igor Ivanov on the latest developments in the Palestinian territories and efforts for peace following the summit last month in Saudi Arabia.
National Security Advisor Mohammed Dahlan described the meeting as fruitful.
Igor Ivanov, in his turn, said President Abbas was committed to talking with Israel. He commended the new Palestinian unity government was a positive step forward.
In Israel, Russia's Security Council Secretary met Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni. Topping the agenda was the issue of a nuclear Iran. Israel sees Iran as its main enemy, especially in the face of calls by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for the Jewish state to be wiped off the map.
Mr Ivanov re-iterated Russia's position that the Iranian question needed to be resolved diplomatically.
Russia's Security Council Secretary also met the families of kidnapped Israeli soldiers. He said Russia was doing its best to assist them.
Next week the U.S. Defense Secretary, Robert Gates, will be in town. This is the first time a U.S. Defense Secretary will be visiting Israel in eight years.


We are delighted to be working with Cottages in Northumberland this year as one of their recommended bloggers (check out our lovely new badge in our sidebar). Cottages in Northumberland provide a wide range of dog-friendly cottages, apartments, houses and even a Shepherd's hut. As we are hoping to add a four legged friend to our family next Summer, this is perfect for us. We are already huge advocates of the North East and our wonderful Countryside and Coastline and actually can't think of a better place in the UK for a family holiday.
Tynemouth is only up the road from us and it is somewhere I have always dreamed about living. With it's tapas bars, quirky boutiques, weekend markets, wine bars, welcoming pubs and beautiful blue flag beaches it really is one of my favourite places in the North East. Last week, I sort of had the chance to realise this dream as our family spent four nights staying in Longsands Lodge in the heart of the village.
Longsands Lodge is situated in the heart of Tynemouth on a quiet side street behind the main Front Street. It is only a 30 second walk to the beach (and the pub) from your front door. Tynemouth is a wonderful base for a North East holiday with a lot of attractions, walking routes, restaurants and cafes within walking distance and easy access to metro lines and bus routes to explore further afield. Tynemouth is less than 10 miles aways from Newcastle city centre but with it's beautiful sandy beaches and community feel you feel as if you are a lot further from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Longsands Lodge will comfortably sleep up to 10 people - there are 2 double bedrooms and 3 twin bedrooms spread across two floors plus 3 bathrooms (and an additional downstairs loo). The rooms are very spacious and I especially loved that the twin rooms had lots of available floor space for our children to play with their toys. Everything had been thought of and provided for from extension leads to hairdryers and even hair straighteners. I think we may be getting old as this never bothered us in our 20's but now we are in our 30's a comfortable mattress is very important to us! I'm pleased to report that our mattresses were of very good quality and we had no problems drifting into a good night's sleep.
We were welcomed with a huge basket full of homemade scones which had been freshly baked by the owners that morning plus a large bowl of fresh fruit and a handwritten note explaining how to contact someone if we needed any assistance and an up-to-date guide book with lots of recommendations of places to visit in the local area. We had been sent an email from Cottages in Northumberland featuring lots of discounts to local attractions including the Blue Reef Aquarium in Tynemouth which again was a lovely touch.
The kitchen was quite possibly our dream kitchen! It was large, bright and sunny and the breakfast table by the window was the perfect spot for a cup of coffee and a spot of blogging. The kitchen is equipped with every appliance you could ever need and there is a large dining table which will comfortably seat up to 10 people. Most importantly - the kitchen has a dishwasher so you don't need to worry about the washing up either.
The lounge was lovely and cosy with three good quality sofas, bean bags and floor cushions and an original fireplace. There were lots of touches which made Longsands Lodge a real home from home including a selection of board games, recent magazines, a bookcase with a note saying you could take a book home and post it back if you hadn't finished plus card games, dominoes and much to our children's delight - a miniature Shaun the Sheep. There is an HD TV with Freeview, DVD player and WiFi throughout the property too. If I could describe Longsands Lodge in one word it would most definitely be 'homely'.
There isn't much outdoor space at Longsands Lodge - you have access to a shared yard (although it feels as though it is exclusively yours) however with the beach on your doorstep I am not sure a huge garden is needed. There is free parking for up to two vehicles.
There is WiFi throughout the property with a booster upstairs too. It was enough for our three children to simultaneously watch netflix on their iPads but I found my phone data to work better for my work needs.
A dishwasher and washing machine are provided, your beds are made up on arrival and there are plenty of fluffy towels in your bedrooms too. The showers and baths were powerful and hot and there was even enough hot water to run two baths at the same time for our children after a trip to the beach.
The only thing we had issue with was the tumble dryer which although is a hotpoint just does not seem to dry clothes. We put our clothes through four times and they were still damp - there is an airer and a washing line provided which worked better.
I think there are probably 10+ restaurants, bars and pubs in Tynemouth village which is a 30 second walk from your front door. Almost everywhere in the village is dog and child friendly too. Tynemouth really is the perfect destination for the whole family. If you haven't guessed, I am in love with Tynemouth and will be blogging our ultimate guide to staying in Tynemouth next week. Here are a few teasers of the little gems you can find in the village for now.
You don't get amazing sea views when you stay a Longsands Lodge (but you can spot the sea from the kitchen window) however the award winning King Edward's Bay is just at the end of your street (please note - dogs are only allowed on this beach in the Winter months but there are lots of dog friendly beaches if you take a short walk towards Whitley Bay).
Tynemouth Priory overlooks King Edward's Bay (and you can see the flag from Longsands Lodge) and is definitely worth a visit with your family (read about our trip earlier this year here).
Tynemouth also has it's own popular market with lots of local crafts, antiques and food every Saturday and Sunday and is home to a boating lake, surf school and aquarium too - all within easy walking distance of Longsands lodge.
Longsands Lodge costs between £795-£1650 to hire for a week. Because there are 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms I think it is the perfect house for hen parties, work weekends, friends and family get togethers or somewhere to hire and stay as a group if you are attending a wedding at the nearby Grand Hotel or Crusoes on the beach (you can easily walk to both venues). If you fill the property and divide the cost per person per night it works out you could stay here from £11.50 to £23 per person per night which I think you'll agree is an AMAZING bargain!

OMG I would LOVE to live in Tynemouth as well, although I fear I'd become the size of the house, I'd be popping to Dil & the Bear for an indulgent breakfast every morning!
The lodge looks perfect. We always went on cottage holidays in the UK when I was a kid, it was always exciting getting a new home for the week!
We were tempted to go to Dill and Bear with kids but it was quite small and I thought we would take over LOL!!! It looks lovely though so will be back to try soon - I think it's the only place in the North East I haven't tried yet!
Gorgeous - I love the little touches like the scones and being able to post back the book too.
Wow, I want to come and visit. I definitely would like to take more trips to the north as there are so many beautiful places and I don't want to be restricted just because of a longish drive.
The cottage looks very spacious ! The price is also very attracting !
It looks like such a great place!! You had me at scones :D and I would love to try the brownies of that little shop!
Looks like a great place to stay for a getaway. I love getting a house when we travel, so we can all spread out and feel like we have "our" space!
Looks like a home away from home that, and a great base to explore the area!
My goodness, what a fantastic cottage for a family - brilliant lot of space too. And I would love someone to provide me with scones when I came on holiday!
We have similar places like this in Maine, very quaint and craggy. I just love the simplicity to it. I wonder if there's a good ghost story here in time for Halloween? LOL.

Q: Resize uiimage not give me exact new size after resize it - (UIImage *)resizeImage:(UIImage*)image newSize:(CGSize)newSize {
CGRect newRect = CGRectIntegral(CGRectMake(0, 0, newSize.width, newSize.height));    //CGSize is 51*51
CGImageRef imageRef = image.CGImage;

UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(newSize, NO, 0);
CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();

// Set the quality level to use when rescaling
CGContextSetInterpolationQuality(context, kCGInterpolationHigh);
CGAffineTransform flipVertical = CGAffineTransformMake(1, 0, 0, -1, 0, newSize.height);

CGContextConcatCTM(context, flipVertical);
// Draw into the context; this scales the image
CGContextDrawImage(context, newRect, imageRef);

// Get the resized image from the context and a UIImage
CGImageRef newImageRef = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(context);
UIImage *newImage = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:newImageRef];

CGImageRelease(newImageRef);
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
 NSLog(@"size of resizeimage is %@",NSStringFromCGSize(newImage.size));    // here i get 102*102
return newImage;
}

I enter cgsize that is 51*51,
and after resize when i check the size its give me 102*102.
why?Please solve my problem.

A: Look at your UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(newSize, NO, 0);, from Apple documentation the scale parameter means :
The scale factor to apply to the bitmap. If you specify a value of 0.0, the scale factor is set to the scale factor of the device's main screen.

So if it's a retina display, it's normal.

A: I have followed this method to resize image
-(UIImage *)resizeImage:(UIImage *)image newSize:(CGSize)newSize
{
    float actualHeight = image.size.height;
    float actualWidth = image.size.width;
    float maxHeight = newSize.height;
    float maxWidth = newSize.width;
    float imgRatio = actualWidth/actualHeight;
    float maxRatio = maxWidth/maxHeight;

    if (actualHeight > maxHeight || actualWidth > maxWidth)
    {
       if(imgRatio < maxRatio)
       {
        //adjust width according to maxHeight
        imgRatio = maxHeight / actualHeight;
        actualWidth = imgRatio * actualWidth;
        actualHeight = maxHeight;
       }
       else if(imgRatio > maxRatio)
       {
        //adjust height according to maxWidth
        imgRatio = maxWidth / actualWidth;
        actualHeight = imgRatio * actualHeight;
        actualWidth = maxWidth;
       }
       else
       {
        actualHeight = maxHeight;
        actualWidth = maxWidth;
       }
    }

   CGRect rect = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, actualWidth, actualHeight);
   UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(rect.size);
   [image drawInRect:rect];
   UIImage *img = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
   UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

   NSLog(@"size of resizeimage is %@",NSStringFromCGSize(img.size));
   NSLog(@"size of original is %@",NSStringFromCGSize(image.size));

   return img;

  }

When it comes to being productive, your body is just as important as your brain. If you don't care for your body, you'll have a hard time finding the motivation to get through your day. You'll experience decreased energy and be more likely to feel sluggish and tired.
The best way to get back into your normal productive routine is to recharge your body. You'll find it easier to tackle your day with motivation and you'll be able to give your full attention to everything on your plate. While there are many ways you can recharge, here are three of the most popular ways.
A power nap is a short nap that enables you to wake up feeling refreshed. The trick with a power nap is the timing. If you don't nap long enough, then you may feel groggy upon waking. If you nap too long, then you'll have a tough time getting to sleep when it's bedtime.
Many women find that the best length of a power nap is between fifteen and twenty minutes. For even better results, stick to a regular nap schedule. Most practitioners advise taking your power nap in the middle of the day. This will allow you to get the benefits of a power nap without it wrecking your sleep cycle.
Many women spend a significant part of their day in front of a computer. When you sit all day like this, it's easy to overwork the muscles in your neck and shoulders. That's why it can be helpful to get a shoulder or neck massage.
Besides helping your muscles, a massage is an excellent way to increase your blood circulation and getting one will make you feel more alert. It's also helpful if you suffer from chronic pain due to a medical condition like fibromyalgia or arthritis. You can opt for a day trip to the local spa or you could find a massage therapist online through a website like American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA).
Go on a mini retreat.
A retreat is a chance to withdraw from everything around you. It gives you the space to reflect on your priorities and sort through your emotions. A mini retreat might be just what your body needs if you've been experiencing a difficult time such as the diagnosis of an illness, the loss of a loved one, or other major life event.
Your mini retreat doesn't have to last long. You can choose to have your own private retreat for just a few hours or days. Try to pick a place or a series of places that you can go where you feel safe and comfortable. For some women, a safe place might be a library, church, or museum.
Remember that in many ways your body is like your car. It can get you to your destination but it does need regular care and maintenance in order to operate well.
What will you commit to doing this week to recharge your body and your life?

In the filing, Uber reported 2018 revenue of $11.27 billion and net income of $997 million.
One advantage Uber will likely seek to play up to investors is that it is the largest player in numerous markets in which it operates. Last month, Uber Freight announced a rollout across Europe.
While Uber's competitor, another prominent ridesharing company, Lyft, already went public at the end of March under the thicker (LYFT), raising 2.3 billion dollars at the price of 72$ per share, investors are eager to see whether Uber will encounter an equal enthusiasm in the market once the company goes public. The company claims more than 65 percent market share in the United States and Canada, versus Lyft's stated 39 percent in the United States.
Uber said it operates on six continents with some 14 million trips per day and has totaled more than 10 billion rides since it was founded in 2010. "Our revenue is dependent on the pricing model we use to calculate consumer fares and driver earnings", said the company.
In the filing, the company struck a cautious note about its autonomous future.
A key question facing Uber now is if it wants to keep pouring funds into its unprofitable ride-hailing business or redirect the tons of cash from its IPO into more profitable ventures such as Uber Eats food delivery startup.
"We depend on a limited number of suppliers for our dockless e-bikes, and on a single supplier for our e-scooters that also supplies our primary competitors", the filing says. The setbacks have contained allegations and uncontrolled inner sexual harassment it destroys automobile technology.

WESTMINSTER – An admitted white supremacist was arrested Friday morning at a motel, nearly a week after investigators suspect he killed a man on Labor Day outside a popular Laguna Niguel bar, officials said.
Craig Tanber, a 37-year-old Dana Point man who already served time for another killing, now faces a possible murder charge after Orange County Sheriff's Department SWAT officials found him around 6:15 a.m. inside a room at a Motel 6, 13100 Goldenwest St., in Westminster.
"We developed some information in the last 12 hours that led us to that motel on Goldenwest," sheriff's Lt. Jeff Hallock said.
Tanber is suspected of stabbing Shayan Mazroei, 22, of Laguna Niguel around 12:15 a.m. Monday outside Patsy's Irish Pub, 28971 Street of the Golden Lantern, in Laguna Niguel.
Mazroei was taken in an ambulance to Mission Hospital where he died from his injuries at 12:45 a.m., according to the coroner's office.
The killer, suspected to be Tanber, fled from the bar, and police have been looking for him since the incident.
Sheriff's department SWAT officials surrounded the two-story motel before sunrise Friday morning and evacuated the rooms adjacent to the one where Tanber was later found with a woman.
Witnesses said Tanber was at Patsy's Irish Pub Monday with a woman, but officials don't believe it's the same one he was with at the motel Friday morning.
No one was injured during the incident, and Tanber was arrested on suspicion on murder before he was booked into Orange County jail. He was held in lieu of $1 million bail and expected to make a court appearance Tuesday.
Tanber was also arrested on suspicion of murder in 2004, after officials suspected he took part in killing Cory Lamons, a 26-year-old Laguna Niguel man whose body was found April 6, 2004, in the bed of a pickup truck by Huntington Beach police investigators.
He took a deal in 2007, when he pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and admitted to committing the crime as a white supremacist gang member, after an initial mistrial, and was sentenced to six years in prison. He was released June 13 on parole, according to California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation records.
Officials are not investigating the Labor Day killing as a hate crime, Hallock said.

J.J. Redick-Jared Dudley trade might squeeze Chauncey Billups off Clippers
By Dan FeldmanJul 2, 2013, 10:26 PM EDT
Chauncey Billups – when healthy, which wasn't very often – started at shooting guard for the Clippers the last two years.
Now that the Clippers have upgraded their wing positions by trading for J.J. Redick and Jared Dudley, Billups, a free agent, might no longer fit in Los Angeles.
Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports:
In light of Redick, Dudley, LAC stills want to re-sign Matt Barnes but "may be tough" to bring back Chauncey Billups,too,NBA source tells Y!
— Marc J. Spears (@SpearsNBAYahoo) July 2, 2013
I'm not sure why the Clippers wouldn't welcome Billups as their backup point guard now that Eric Bledsoe is gone. Billups struggled in the playoffs (shooting 31 percent and turning the ball over more than he assisted baskets), but he was still pretty good in his regular-season. Whoever fills that role is likely to be a minimum-salaried player who doesn't play much behind Chris Paul, anyway.
Perhaps, Billups moving from starter to reserve would be untenable with the same team. But it's difficult to find a contender that would start Billups, so why not make it work in Los Angeles?
Billups said he had interest in signing with the Heat, and that could be his best fit. Mario Chalmers and Norris Cole certainly aren't unimpeachable. I don't know whether Billups would start in Miami, but Chalmers-Billups is likely a better combination than Chalmers-Cole. And if Cole improves and Billups declines to the point Cole is better than Billups, Billups would be another pro's pro to set the tone in Miami.

The 1970s brought a new understanding of the biological and intellectual impact of environmental crises on human beings, and as efforts to prevent ecological and human degradation aligned, a new literature of sickness emerged. "Ecosickness fiction" imaginatively rethinks the link between ecological and bodily endangerment and uses affect and the sick body to bring readers to environmental consciousness. Tracing the development of ecosickness through a compelling archive of modern U.S. novels and memoirs, this study demonstrates the mode's crucial role in shaping thematic content and formal and affective literary strategies. Examining works by David Foster Wallace, Richard Powers, Leslie Marmon Silko, Marge Piercy, Jan Zita Grover, and David Wojnarowicz, Heather Houser shows how these authors unite experiences of environmental and somatic damage through narrative affects that draw attention to ecological phenomena, organize perception, and convert knowledge into ethics. Traversing contemporary cultural studies, ecocriticism, affect studies, and literature and medicine, Houser juxtaposes ecosickness fiction against new forms of environmentalism and technoscientific innovations such as regenerative medicine and alternative ecosystems. Ecosickness in Contemporary U.S. Fiction recasts recent narrative as a laboratory in which affective and perceptual changes both support and challenge political projects.
When Orhan Pamuk won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2006, he was honored as a builder of bridges across a dangerous chasm. By rendering his Turkish characters and settings familiar where they would otherwise seem troublingly foreign, and by speaking freely against his authoritarian state, he demonstrated a variety of literary greatness that testified also to the good literature can do in the world. Gloria Fisk challenges this standard for canonization as "world literature" by showing how poorly it applies to Pamuk. Reading the Turkish novelist as a case study in the ways Western readers expand their reach, Fisk traces the terms of his engagement with a literary market dominated by the tastes of its Anglophone publics, who received him as a balm for their anxieties about Islamic terrorism and the stratifications of global capitalism. Fisk reads Pamuk's post-9/11 novels as they circulated through this audience, as rich in cultural capital as it is far-flung, in the American English that is global capital's lingua franca. She launches a polemic against Anglophone readers' instrumental use of literature as a source of crosscultural understanding, contending that this pervasive way of reading across all manner of borders limits the globality it announces, because it serves the interests of the Western cultural and educational institutions that produce it. Orhan Pamuk and the Good of World Literature proposes a new way to think about the uneven processes of translation, circulation, and judgment that carry contemporary literature to its readers, wherever they live.
Contemporary culture is haunted by its media. Yet in their ubiquity, digital media have become increasingly banal, making it harder for us to register their novelty or the scope of the social changes they have wrought. What do we learn about our media environment when we look closely at the ways novelists and filmmakers narrate and depict banal use of everyday technologies? How do we encounter our own media use in scenes of waiting for e-mail, watching eBay bids, programming as work, and worrying about numbers of social media likes, friends, and followers? Zara Dinnen analyzes a range of prominent contemporary novels, films, and artworks to contend that we live in the condition of the "digital banal," not noticing the affective and political novelty of our relationship to digital media. Authors like Jennifer Egan, Dave Eggers, Sheila Heti, Jonathan Lethem, Gary Shteyngart, Colson Whitehead, Mark Amerika, Ellen Ullman, and Danica Novgorodoff and films such as The Social Network and Catfish critique and reveal the ways in which digital labor isolates the individual; how the work of programming has become an operation of power; and the continuation of the "Californian ideology," which has folded the radical into the rote and the imaginary into the mundane. The works of these writers and artists, Dinnen argues, also offer ways of resisting the more troubling aspects of the effects of new technologies, as well as timely methods for seeing the digital banal as a politics of suppression. Bridging the gap between literary studies and media studies, The Digital Banal recovers the shrouded disturbances that can help us recognize and antagonize our media environment.
Through a comparative analysis of the novels of Roberto Bola–o and the fictional work of CŽsar Aira, Mario Bellatin, Diamela Eltit, Chico Buarque, Alberto Fuguet, and Fernando Vallejo, among other contemporaries, HŽctor Hoyos defines new trends in how we read and write in a globalized era. Calling attention to fresh innovations in form, voice, perspective, and representation, he also affirms the lead role of Latin American authors in reshaping world literature. Focusing on post-1989 Latin American novels and their representation of globalization, Hoyos considers the narrative techniques and aesthetic choices Latin American authors make to assimilate the conflicting forces at work in our increasingly interconnected world. Challenging the assumption that globalization leads to cultural homogenization, his book identifies the rich textual strategies that estrange and re-mediate power relations both within literary canons and across global cultural hegemonies. Hoyos shines a light on the unique, avant garde phenomena that animate these works, such as modeling literary circuits after the dynamics of the art world, imagining counterfactual ÒNaziÓ histories, exposing the limits of escapist narratives, and formulating textual forms that resist worldwide literary consumerism. These experiments help reconfigure received ideas about global culture and advance new, creative articulations of world consciousness.


One of the most striking things about human beings is our ability to tell stories. Everything around us can be interpreted as a story, from the little fib we tell to make life easier to the big stories that make our societies go, like our belief in the value of a piece of special paper called a paper bill worth so many Pound Sterling, Dollars or Euro.
Our lives are run by those and many other stories, but what has that got to do with clutter?
Or course you will be invested in your brain child, the business you have built and –hopefully – are passionate about, but is there a time when you have to take a different route?
I have recently come across this cartoon by the creator of the 'Calvin and Hobbes' series, and I suggest you take a moment to read it (it'll only take a minute or so).
There you are! I hope you enjoyed that. Where I'm concerned, I got goose bumps when I saw this first: I had the nagging suspicion that ambition comes in many forms, and for a long time I was exposed to the idea that ambition and achievement in life can only be gained through total immersion into the workplace – to the extent of working yourself to the ground.
Daily life has turned so complex and interconnected that it has become pretty much impossible to go through your days without having at least some level of planning to make sure that everything that needs doing gets done. It doesn't really matter if you are looking at an office job, a trader dodging traffic from one job to the next, a mother taking care of her children and their social activities, … look no further, all have long lists of things to do.
What seems like an endless list of chores never seems to get shorter. Fear not, help is on its way: there are ways to lighten the load!
Whenever we think about decluttering, what usually comes to mind is not only "taking things out", but also we usually think about decluttering ourselves rather than others. Both notions are concepts we might want to reconsider, though, as they only give us partial insight into the tail end of the process, and less than half the picture for the second concept.
Decluttering is often about ourselves, of course, and when it comes to taking care of what stuff is already in our lives, it makes perfect sense to think about ourselves first. However, have you ever given any thought on how you might be cluttering up other people's lives without consideration?
Do you occasionally get overwhelmed by that nagging feeling you have forgotten something? That strange feeling that you have agreed to do something and not followed through, or that there were more steps to a process than you remember doing?
We all get that, of course. However, not only is this disconcerting – most of the time it's no more than a bit of existential panic and nothing has really happened – but it could also be potentially devastating in terms of customer relations and require a fair bit of damage control if things really get out of hand. So: how can we avoid this?
A lot of the thoughts, ideas and solutions in previous blog entries were based on the tacit assumption that we were all able to see clutter in the same way. Lately, I have come to realise that – while there are similarities at the mental and psychological level for most of us – that is not necessarily the case when it comes to the purely physical side of decluttering.
I'm talking not just about the fact that some of us might simple unable to lift heavy items or dislodge things from their hiding places, but that there is a real possibility that a very specific disability has an effect on how we perceive clutter, and even IF we can even know it's there!


November 10th from 12pm to 3pm at Catawba Farms (400 Technibilt Dr, Newton NC 28658).
ATTENTION ANIMAL LOVERS! This is a special event where several of the rescues will bring some of their "less than perfect" foster pets.
These are sweet, wonderful pets that have been in foster care a long time because they are seniors, or have some ongoing medical needs, or unique personalities, and have been passed over for adoption time and time again.
But they have lots of love to give and could certainly thrive and even have less concerns in that special forever home!

How it felt to finish my first novel
Victoria Kelly
I can relate…when I finished my first novel, and then all the subsequent ones, finishing felt more like defeat. I never felt like I had accomplished anything, and was scared to read back through it, even though I had been revising along the way. And even though every new draft made it better, I never felt that sense of pride or accomplishment in a finished work…I just felt "I should have done better." But you're right — it's about getting to a better place for yourself as a person and a writer. That's the best you can do.

18 "Appoint judges and officers within all your gates, which יהוה your Elohim is giving you, according to your tribes. And they shall judge the people with righteous Right-Ruling.
19 "Do not distort Right-Ruling. Do not show partiality, nor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.
20 "Follow righteousness, righteousness so that you live and inherit the land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you.
21 "Do not plant for yourself any tree as an Ashĕrah near the altar of יהוה your Elohim that you make for yourself.
22 "And do not set up a pillar, which יהוה your Elohim hates.
1 "Do not slaughter to יהוה your Elohim a bull or sheep which has any blemish, any evil matter, for that is an abomination to יהוה your Elohim.
5 then you shall bring out to your gates that man or woman who has done this evil matter, and you shall stone to death that man or woman with stones.
6 "At the mouth of two or three witnesses shall he that is to die be put to death. He is not put to death by the mouth of one witness.
7 "The hand of the witnesses shall be first against him to put him to death, and the hand of all the people last. So you shall purge the evil from your midst.
10 and you shall do according to the word which they declare to you from that place which יהוה chooses. And you shall guard to do according to all that they instruct you.
11 "Do according to the Torah in which they teach you, according to the Right-Ruling which they say to you. You do not turn to the right or to the left from the word which they declare to you.
12 "And the man who acts arrogantly, so as not to listen to the kohen who stands to serve there before יהוה your Elohim, or to the judge, that man shall die. So you shall purge the evil from Yisra'ĕl.
13 "And let all the people hear and revere, and no longer do arrogantly.
15 you shall certainly appoint a sovereign over you whom יהוה your Elohim shall choose. Appoint a sovereign over you from among your brothers, you are not allowed to appoint a foreigner over you, who is not your brother.
17 "And he is not to increase wives for himself, lest his heart turn away, nor is he to greatly increase silver and gold for himself.
18 "And it shall be, when he sits on the throne of his reign, that he shall write for himself a copy of this Torah in a book, from the one before the kohenim, the Lĕwites.
20 so that his heart is not lifted up above his brothers, and so as not to turn aside from the Command, right or left, so that he prolongs his days in his reign, he and his children, in the midst of Yisra'ĕl.
1 "The kohenim, the Lĕwites, all the tribe of Lĕwi, have no part nor inheritance with Yisra'ĕl. They are to eat the offerings of יהוה made by fire, and His inheritance.
2 "But among his brothers no inheritance. יהוה is his inheritance, as He has spoken to him.
4 the first-fruits of your grain and your new wine and your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep, you give to him.
5 "For יהוה your Elohim has chosen him out of all your tribes to stand to serve in the Name of יהוה, him and his sons forever.
7 then he shall serve in the Name of יהוה his Elohim, like all his brothers the Lĕwites, who are standing there before יהוה.
8 "They are to have portion for portion to eat, besides what comes from the sale of his inheritance.
9 "When you come into the land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you, do not learn to do according to the abominations of those gentiles.
12 "For whoever does these are an abomination to יהוה, and because of these abominations יהוה your Elohim drives them out from before you.
14 for these nations whom you are possessing do listen to those using magic and to diviners. But as for you, יהוה your Elohim has not appointed such for you.
17 "And יהוה said to me, 'What they have spoken is good.
18 'I shall raise up for them a Naḇi like you out of the midst of their brothers. And I shall put My Words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him.
22 when the naḇi speaks in the Name of יהוה and the word is not, or comes not, that is the word which יהוה has not spoken. The naḇi has spoken it presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.
2 separate three cities for yourself in the midst of your land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you to possess.
3 "Prepare a way for yourself, and divide into three parts the border of your land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you to inherit, that anyone who killed someone shall flee there.
6 lest the revenger of blood, while his displeasure is hot, pursue the one who killed someone and overtake him, because the way is long, and shall smite him, though he was not worthy of death, since he had not hated him before.
10 so that innocent blood is not shed in the midst of your land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you as an inheritance, or blood-guilt shall be upon you.
12 and the elders of his city shall send and bring him from there, and give him into the hand of the revenger of blood, and he shall die.
13 "Your eye shall not pardon him, but you shall purge the blood of the innocent from Yisra'ĕl, so that it might be well with you.
14 "Do not remove your neighbour's boundary, which those in the past have bound, in your inheritance which you inherit in the land that יהוה your Elohim is giving you to possess.
15 "One witness does not rise up against a man concerning any wickedness or any sin that he commits. At the mouth of two witnesses or at the mouth of three witnesses a matter is established.
17 then both men who have the dispute shall stand before יהוה, before the kohenim and the judges who serve in those days.
19 then you shall do to him as he thought to have done to his brother. Thus you shall purge the evil from your midst.
20 "And let the rest hear and revere, and never again do this evil matter in your midst.
21 "And let your eye not pardon, life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
1 "When you go out to battle against your enemies, and shall see horses and chariots and people more numerous than you, do not be afraid of them, for יהוה your Elohim, who brought you up from the land of Mitsrayim, is with you.
5 "And the officers shall speak to the people, saying, 'Who is the man who has built a new house and has not dedicated it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man dedicate it.
6 'And who is the man who has planted a vineyard and has not begun to use it? Let him also go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man should begin to use it.
9 "And it shall be, when the officers have finished speaking to the people, that they shall appoint commanders of the divisions to lead the people.
10 "When you draw near to a city to fight against it, then you shall make a call for peace to it.
11 "And it shall be that if it accepts your call for peace, and shall open to you, then all the people found in it are to be your compulsory labour, and serve you.
13 and יהוה your Elohim shall give it into your hands, and you shall smite every male in it with the edge of the sword.
14 "Only the women, and the little ones, and the livestock, and all that is in the city, all its spoil, you take as plunder for yourself. And you shall eat the enemies' plunder which יהוה your Elohim gives you.
15 "Do so to all the cities which are very far from you, which are not of the cities of these nations.
18 lest they teach you to do according to all their abominations which they have done for their mighty ones, and you sin against יהוה your Elohim.
19 "When you besiege a city for a long time by fighting against it to take it, you do not destroy its trees by wielding an axe against them. If you do eat of them, do not cut them down. For is the tree of the field a man to be besieged by you?
20 "Only the trees which you know are not trees for food you do destroy and cut down, to build siege-works against the city that is fighting against you, until it falls.
2 then your elders and your judges shall go out, and they shall measure the distance from the slain man to the cities round about.
4 and the elders of that city shall bring the heifer down to a wadi with flowing water, which is neither ploughed nor sown, and they shall break the heifer's neck there in the wadi.
5 "And the kohenim, the sons of Lĕwi, shall come near, for יהוה your Elohim has chosen them to serve Him and to baraḵ in the Name of יהוה, and by their command every strife and every stroke.
6 "And let all the elders of that city nearest to the slain man wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the wadi.
7 "And they shall answer and say, 'Our hands have not shed this blood, nor have our eyes seen it.
8 'O יהוה, forgive Your people Yisra'ĕl, whom You have redeemed, and do not allow innocent blood in the midst of Your people Yisra'ĕl.' And the blood-guilt shall be pardoned to them.
9 "Thus you purge the guilt of innocent blood from your midst when you do what is right in the eyes of יהוה.

The Hot Wheels LaFerrari was released shortly after the debut of the 1:1. Unlike the Hot Wheels release, the 1:1 LaFerrari is a limited edition series. Only 499 will be produced. The car is simply amazing – did I mention it is a hybrid? Check out some more details over on Ferrari.com.
Seeing that it's not looking like I will be getting a 1:1 LaFerrari any time soon, being a Ferrari collector I was happy to pick up the Hot Wheels LaFerrari at Kdays. I broke a rule I set for myself – I only purchase one of each casting. For some reason still unknown to myself, I bought two of these. Maybe I will detail one. We'll see. I've got quite a few more carded Ferrari's but in my case, this one is number 44.
The Hot Wheels LaFerrari is a brand new casting and was released this year (2014) as part of the HW City series. No further details are available at this time about future releases of this casting but I could possibly see it in a few more colors – yellow, black, and white. I'll be keeping my eyes on this one.
The Hot Wheels LaFerrari features a die cast body painted in red, a black plastic interior and base, and tinted windows. The LaFerrari wears chrome PR5 wheels. Tampos are limited to headlights and the Ferrari logo on the front and Ferrari logos on the sides.
Below are some images of the Hot Wheels LaFerrari. I hope you enjoy this casting as much as I do. Thanks for stopping by!
