Payday: The Heist was a super-promising multiplayer shooter that took the co-op gunplay of Left4Dead and squeezed it into a contemporary, more natural world. Payday 2's hoping to deliver fully on that promise, and every time I've seen it I'm more and more convinced that Overkill really are going to bring home the goods this time round.
Ian was lucky enough to play through one of the sequel's heists, working in tandem with some of the developers to highlight how to execute the perfect plan.
Oh, and he also managed to show how not to do things in a less than perfect runthrough that shows the kind of messy chaos that Payday 2 can descend into.
Payday 2's heading to Xbox 360, PS3 and PC this August, and we'll be looking to bring you plenty more video content in the run-up to its release. You can find that all on Eurogamer's own YouTube channel, innit.

A HISTORY OF COMOY’S AND HELPFUL INFORMATION TOWARD RELATIONSHIPS THE PIPELINES, By Derek Green This post ended up being published inside the problem of The Pipe Collector. The official publication of this united states Society of Pipe Collectors (NASPC), and is used here by approval. Its a fantastic organization–consider signing up for.

We have for some time become collecting pipes made by Comoy’s and get receive all of them wonderfully made and outstanding cigarette smokers. We rapidly realized there was little or no information on the prepare generally speaking, and frequently the info published got incorrect.
Although much more studies are demanded, this will no doubt exterior as more Comoy’s become put into the range or are viewed. We already have more than 100 samples of pipelines made by Comoy’s in my range, that 19 bring hallmarked gold bands. These, including some other old examples I have come across and initial catalogues bring allowed me to substantially flesh aside some of the formerly published basic facts.
I’ve already been fortunate for got a few long discussions with Jacques Cole who was simply at St. Claude from 1948 to 1957 and was factory supervisor at Comoy’s from 1958 until 1963. Jacques is now resigned but is nonetheless mixed up in tube globe, getting Grand Chancellor for the a€?Academie Foreign de los angeles tube.a€? I am the majority of thankful to Jacques for letting me to estimate from an article he published about Comoy’s, that has been section of a sequence on The tube Makers (1850-1994). I’m additionally lucky to own a history of the providers authored by Louis Comoy within the 1950s and believe that the annals offered as an introduction can be as conclusive as you possibly can.
Francois Comoy along with his brothers began producing water pipes (probably clays, boxwood and beech) in 1825 for the little monastic city of Saint-Claude in eastern France. Claude and his awesome son Louis unearthed that briar had greatly remarkable attributes and, from 1848, generated pipes merely inside lumber. In 1879, Francois’ boy, Henri, who had been created in 1850, moved to London with a tiny bag of hardware but many knowledge. Henri build a tiny manufacturer in Seven Dials, which can be now referred to as Cambridge Circus. He was one of the finest moving services when you look at the facilities of briar pipeline trade-in London and is paid with are the author of appellation a€?London Made.a€? He had been helped to start with by a number of their brothers and, around 1891, was actually accompanied by his two nephews, Louis and Charles Chapuis. Louis got title of his adoptive moms and dads. By 1895, the company have outgrown the seven-sisters web site, and a brand new plant had been inbuilt Newcastle Put, Clerkenwell. By 1905, erica, together with further businesses called for an innovative new plant to-be inbuilt 1913 at 72 Rosebury path. In 1914, the couples Henri Comoy with his nephews Louis and Charles included business as Hoy & Co. Ltd. Ahead of the battle, Henri has also been signed up with by their sons, Adrien and Paul, who were created after their nephews found its way to London. In 1921, Sam Zinberg ended up being appointed manager of deals for any USA, and House of Comoy is established. Henri Comoy died in 1924 in the period of 74, making the company in the hands of Louis and Charles.
In 1929, the firm was actually welcomed to become listed on Cadogan Investment Ltd. It was generally a€?The Merger,a€? which contained the Civic business and Oppenheimer Pipes with their related organizations. This merger was created to make co-operation between your various firms. In 1937, a brand new, unit and splendidly furnished plant ended up being established in Pentonville roadway to support further workforce of several hundred. The new generation got signed up with the organization by the time the next globe War out of cash on.

Martin Scorsese opens up about his work and life in the Q&A session after a screening of his latest The Wolf of Wall Street.
The New York born and raised Scorsese has cemented his legendary status with each passing film he’s directed (a whopping 25 in total) beginning with his career-making Mean Streets in 1973 starring his future long-time collaborator Robert DeNiro. The majority of his films have been set in New York including the aptly namedNew York, New York in 1977. After receiving five nominations for Best Director at the Academy Awards, he finally won in 2007 for his exceptional Irish gangster thriller, The Departed(2006), which gave him the recognition he had long deserved. Since then he’s also been nominated as a director for his family adventure film, Hugo.
Martin Scorsese took the stage to a roaring standing ovation after the screening for a Q&A, moderated by SSN’s Dina Gachman. Scorsese began the conversation by speaking of Wolf‘s development. Not just a pretty face, DiCaprio is also a producer on the project after winning the rights to the novel of the same name in 2007 and Warner Bros. bought the rights. Due to the hard R content in the story, Scorsese and Warner Bros. had long discussions over the script’s content, says Scorsese, “From the first two minutes, from the first page, questions started coming up.” Amicably, Warner Bros. left the picture and DiCaprio found a new financier, Red Granite Pictures. “The only thing I really wanted was the freedom to get what I wanted on film. We don’t have to use it all. I’ve been making pictures since Mean Streets in 1973. I’ve dealt with the MPAA since 1973, we negotiate, we work. I’d like to get it on film at least and get rid of it if I don’t need it and [Red Granite] promised me that.” With that freedom offered, Scorsese was able to push himself into the energy of the piece and decided to direct the picture.

Jess purchased a National Parks Passport book and may have the beginnings of a slight obsession in obtaining cancellations at a variety of parks, monuments, historic sites, and recreation areas. Since she also does a majority of the trip routing, Dave has been subjected to her various whims to obtain the next cancellation; he is starting to question the trip routes.
While the route planning has become slightly circuitous, we have been seeing national monuments, recreation areas, historic sites and parks that we wouldn’t have otherwise considered. These places, such as Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument and the Grant-Kohrs Ranch Historic Site, have increased our understanding of our country’s history. We have also enjoyed some beautiful scenery as we have traveled a bit off the beaten path.
Since we purchased the book after the great westward move, cancellations from that trip and all previous trips are absent. This just means we will have to revisit some amazing parks, like Big Bend National Park.

Just days after one of President Donald Trump’s campaign attorneys came under fire for saying the administration’s former chief cyber security official should be “drawn and quartered,” another Trump associate seemingly called for the president’s political enemies to face ambiguous extrajudicial penalties if they are not soon indicted.
Brian Trascher, a Trump campaign surrogate and member of the Trump Campaign Victory Finance Committee, made the comments during a discussion about U.S. Attorney John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the government’s 2016 Russia investigation.
Appearing on right-wing network Newsmax, Trascher claimed Durham’s eventual report would implicate several prominent individuals, but said that the report may never see the light of day.
“I think [Durham’s report] is going to be very damning. We already know that members of the CIA and FBI participated in the phony Russia collusion hoax against President Trump. And I think there’s going to be some high-profile people named in this report,” Trascher said.
Toeing the party line, Trascher falsely asserted that President Trump actually defeated President-elect Joe Biden in last month’s election. Then he suggested that one of Biden’s first actions in office would be ensuring Durham’s report is kept under wraps. In such a scenario, Trascher said that there would have to be a different way to “take care of” such persons.
“If Joe Biden does pull off the miracle and is able to get himself sworn in as president, I think that report is going to absolutely be destroyed, buried, will never see the light of day,” Trascher added. “Criminals like [former director of the CIA] John Brennan will probably walk free amongst us and, you know, we’ll just have to take care of them another way I guess.”
It was revealed that Attorney General Bill Barr had promoted Durham to the position of special counsel for the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) just two weeks prior to the election—despite Barr’s disregard of the rules for doing so.
Earlier this month Joe diGenova, a Trump re-election campaign lawyer and former U.S. Attorney, went on Newsmax’s The Howie Carr Show and said that Chris Krebs should be “drawn and quartered. DiGenova also said that Krebs should be “taken out at dawn and shot.” Krebs was the director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and President Trump fired him for saying that 2020 election wasn’t rigged. DiGenova later said he was joking.

The Wolf’s Song returns this evening on W9.
In early 2019, on the occasion of the release of Wolf song, First established its top 5 best submarine movies. We are sharing it today on the occasion of the replay of Antonin Baudry’s film on Channel 9.
Song of the Wolf: A Great Underwater Thriller [Critique]
Top submarine movies:
The classiest – Operation in the Pacific
(George Waggner, 1951) In the 50s, American studios multiplied submarine films to crystallize political anxieties and the promotion of troops in an enclosed space. John Wayne is a submarine commander who has to deal with his love story with Patricia Neal and the fighting in the Pacific. It’s unclear which of the Duke’s charisma or the torpedoes sparks the most.
The most realistic – Das boot
(Wolfga NG Petersen, 1981) In 1941, the crew of a German submarine dived for a marauding. Das Boot takes the viewer into the bowels of U-96. We are as close as possible to men, their anxieties and their doubts, waiting for an enemy that we will never see. No patriotic exaltation. Just fear, chaos and madness. The passageways have never seemed so narrow.
The most French – The Cursed
(René Clément, 1947) We thought that the genre had never had its tricolor variation. Until we remember that film that propels us into a submarine full of Nazis and collaborators on our way to Argentina. Between the Cluedo settling of scores and the exotic adventure, Les Maudits shines through the sharp dialogues of Jeanson and the crazy light of Alekan. Very French then.
The coolest – USS Alabama
(Tony Scott, 1995) An idealistic officer (Denzel Washington) confronts his arched superior (Gene Hackman), in this variation on The Revolts of the Bounty untied by the Top Gun duo (Tony Scott and Jerry Bruckheimer), in great shape. The dialogues refer to classics of the genre like Torpedoes under the Atlantic. Normal: they are signed Quentin Tarantino.
Denzel Washington comments on his 5 films with Tony Scott
The most perfect – Hunting for Red October
(John McTiernan, 1990) Don’t look. The absolute masterpiece of this wonderful sub-genre that is the submarine film is this: the first film adaptation of Tom Clancy, which at the time confirmed the stylistic supremacy of John McTiernan. , just released from Crystal Trap. An intellectual and relentless blockbuster, of a classicism, uh… unsinkable, yes.


BACOLOD City – A couple was arrested in a buy-bust operation on Tuesday evening at Bredco Port, Reclamation Areaa, Barangay 10, Bacolod City.
Live-in partners Rosman Doloso, 37, a resident of Zone 3, Barangay Tabao, Valladolid, and Evelyn Sarceno, 24, were allegedly selling shabu in the area.
Most of their customers include trisikad drivers, stevedores, vessel crew members and employees of a shipping company, police disclosed.
The police conducted a surveillance operation on the suspects for two months.
Six elongated sachets of suspected shabu and other drug paraphernalia were confiscated from them./PN


Destiny 2: How to Unlock the Python Shotgun
In Destiny 2 Season 9 there are a number of new weapons for players to unlock. Some of these new weapons are Exotics while others are Legendaries. One Legendary players can work to unlock is the Python. This Legendary shotgun can be unlocked by completing a certain quest-line for The Drifter. To help you complete this quest-line use our how to unlock the Python guide below.
Get the Get Closer Quest from The Drifter
To start the quest-line for the Python you need to first speak to The Drifter on the Tower. When you speak to The Drifter you should see a new quest in his Quest offerings called Get Closer. Accept the Get Closer quest to add it to your quest log and trigger its quest step called Spitting Distance.
How to Complete Spitting Distance Quest Step?
The Spitting Distance quest step features three requirements that need to be completed in order to unlock the Python shotgun. These steps involve defeating enemies or Guardians in Gambit activities using a shotgun in the following ways:
- 500 Shotgun Final Blows.
- 150 Close-range Final Blows.
- Infamy rank “Heroic.”
Keep in mind that Guardians killed in the above mentioned ways yield more efficient progress than simple enemies. With that said you will want to take what you can get when it comes to points. When you do jump into the Gambit game mode be sure you have a shotgun equipped and ready to use. Besides that advice this quest is largely skill and time based. The more Gambit you play the more likely you are to complete this quest.
Once you complete all three steps of the quest step above turn in the quest to The Drifter to receive the Python shotgun weapon reward.
Python Weapon Perks
The Python comes Masterworked when you receive it and it features some interesting Perks. One Perk I found to be rather noteworthy is the One-Two Punch which increases melee damage if you hit an enemy with every pellet of a shot. You can check out all of the possible Python Weapon Perks below.
- Aggressive Frame (Frame): Hard-hitting, high recoil. Increases rate of fire after kill.
- Overflow: Picking up Special or Heavy ammo reloads this weapon to beyond normal capacity.
- Feeding Frenzy: Kills with this weapon increase reload speed for a short time.
- Shield Disorient: Energy matched shield explosion disorients nearby combatants.
- One-Two Punch: Hitting an enemy with every pellet in a shot increases melee damage for a short duration.
That concludes our look at how to get the Python in Destiny 2. Have a suggestion, comment, or thoughts on the weapon? Drop them in the comments below. Good luck getting this sidearm.

The recent removal of the Silent Sam base and plaque from UNC’s campus has sparked new discussions and protests surrounding the monument and its history, extending conversations to potential new students and their families.
Some of the first glimpses of UNC’s campus for prospective students may occur during campus tours, and many UNC tour guides, known as Admissions Ambassadors, are tasked with the role of tackling questions and concerns surrounding Silent Sam by prospective parents and students.
“The biggest question is definitely safety,” sophomore Admissions Ambassador Sosa Evbuomwan said. “A lot of times we get questions about whether or not their student will be safe on campus, and whether or not we feel safe on campus as well.”
Evbuomwan has been giving tours since her first year at UNC and said student tour guides receive extensive training for giving experience-based tours.
“We’re trained for extenuating circumstances on campus. Whenever something comes up, we usually will have a meeting to discuss how to handle the situation should questions arise from parents or students,” Evbuomwan said. “If (parents) want our opinion, usually it’s given outside of the tour.”
Another sophomore Admissions Ambassador Excellence Perry said the training encourages student admission ambassadors to handle politically charged issues professionally without compromising their own beliefs.
“They give us advice and questions about how we should respond in a way that’s not only preserving our authenticity and honesty but also being true to acknowledging the things that we do here on campus,” Perry said. “They never say to compromise our integrity, but they always say to make sure that you mix your authenticity in a way that represents the University truthfully.”
Evbuomwan said tour guides are also trained to discuss the positive aspects of the situation surrounding Silent Sam, such as the freedom students have to voice their opinions.
“We usually will talk about how it allows students to have a voice on campus, which is the truth,” Evbuomwan said. “Also, how we feel about it in terms of what it means for students to be able to advocate on campus because some people like the fact that the University will sometimes take student opinions into consideration when handling matters like this.”

Film Review #65: Iraq in Fragments *** 2006 *** Director: James Longley *** The afternoon two weeks ago that I spoke with James Longley by phone, he was feeling pretty good. The Seattle-based Longley was in New York City, bunking in with his fellow filmmaker Andrew Berends for the theatrical premiere that night of his new documentary, Iraq in Fragments. It’s a film I hope will come to Central New York. Longley was going to do a Q & A after the 8 o’clock screening at Film Forum and so far opening reviews were sweet. The Village Voice’s Nathan Lee said this film would still be there when the war itself was long gone. Lee offered his own lyrical riff on Longley’s “rhyming” circle images – a boy’s eye echoed in the rotary blades of ubiquitous hovering choppers, a ceiling fan, sewing machine wheel, bullet holes and the burning auto tire of the film’s final moments. *** Longley filmed Iraq in Fragments between February 2003 and April 2005, first in Baghdad among the Sunnis, then in Naseriyah and Najaf among the Shiites during the uprising that coincided with the US siege of Falluja and the Abu Ghraib torture revelations, finally in the northern Kurdish settlement of Koretan near the city of Erbil, an area of farmers and brick-makers. *** Longley had been in Iraq earlier but unable to get permits to film in the last days of Saddam’s regime. So he left, paced out the US invasion from across the border, returning when it was possible to work unfettered. During this period Andrew Berends also shot a documentary set among the Shiites called The Blood of My Brother. Longley handed his cell phone to his old friend and Berends told me that they go way back; in college together, Longley was the cinematographer on Berends’ first student film. In Iraq each crossed paths and hung out with four still photographers who approached their work in the same guerilla fashion. Later, the Unembedded Project emerged – first a website and joint gallery exhibit among the six, then a book by the four photographers. *** Although Longley’s adult work has been about the moving image, he says his aesthetic is grounded in the photography and painting of his student days, so he is at home with the stillness of composed images and it shows. Time after time as I watched Iraq in Fragments I wanted to reach up and take some frame out of the film’s flow and hold it still. I think Nathan Lee was surrendering to the same sheer power of Longley’s arresting, lovely images too – like the little girl in the pink dress and the Kurdish boys throwing snowballs in the last third of the film that appear like sudden oases after a long desert march. *** Iraq in Fragments is made of three parts, each a resonant story of sons in a society both used to and suddenly free of a dictator who for decades cast himself as a fatherly disciplinarian. You see how confusing that might be on an intimate scale immediately. Like his 2001 film, Gaza Strip, this one begins with a boy named Mohammad. Eleven-year-old Mohammed Haithem of Baghdad has lost his policeman father, who spoke against Saddam and disappeared. He lives with his grandmother and works in a sweltering, grimy mechanic’s shop for a man whom he swears loves him like a father. Soon Mohammed is insisting on this through his own tears, repeatedly slapped and berated by the boss who growls that Saddam would never have allowed the chaos that surrounds them. Mohammed’s boss does not mind that Longley films him behaving this way. Just as you’re thinking this little boy should be in school, that fantasy is slapped away with unnerving, brutal swiftness by a trip to the regimented classroom that Mohammed sometimes attends at his boss’ behest – where he feels only stupid among the younger boys. Mohammed’s great revolt and liberation consists of leaving both the garage and the school behind by escaping to a distant uncle’s sweatshop. *** Moving south to the Shiite stronghold of Moqtada al-Sadr, himself a fortunate son with inherited power, Longley switches to a whip-lash cinematic style that manages to re-create the fresh sense of assault and visual overdrive first felt years ago with Tarantino’s Natural Born Killers. This matches the frenzy of the religious self-flagellation with whips and chains that Saddam forbade, in which masses of young Shiite men now freely indulge, the clamoring rallies, and a zealous arrest and beating of a suspected alcohol seller at a local market. For this section Longley followed Sheik Aws al Kafaji, a cooperative and thoughtful young cleric in charge of Sadr’s office in Naseriyah, Iraq’s fourth largest city. This section also features repeated, haunting glimpses of a sort of ghost boy, unidentified and peeking out from the chaos – as if there were no time or space for his story. *** This middle part of the film is strenuous and frightening, raising the obvious question of how one gets access. Longley says the months he spent establishing relationships is key; Andrew Berends elaborated, “Some of these boundaries we just imagine. After a while I realized, why wouldn’t they want us there? It’s easier than filming in New York City, where people are more self-conscious, aware of the camera, more private. People in Iraq are extremely hospitable and open.” *** This is easier to see when Longley goes north for the section he titles Kurdish Spring, to vast plains, skylines and fields. The billowing smoke from the ovens of the region’s brick-makers merges with images of Saddam’s burning of Kurdish villages, even as the sons of neighboring farmers walk hand in hand from school, tend their sheep and try to put into words how hard their fathers have worked. Across Iraq, old men play board games and criticize the politicians, and little boys carefully wash their feet from pumps and spigots, trying to do much with little. Among the Kurds Longley finds the space to contemplate those common national images, despite the commonly voiced belief that Iraq will inevitably pull apart. *** Longley himself says, “The best way to see it is in a theater. None of us wants our films seen on those little screens by people busy doing something else.” Opening at Manhattan’s Film Forum guarantees respect and savvy audiences. Besides that, Iraq in Fragments has opened this month in seven other major US cities after nearly 60 festival screenings. It hit three Best awards right off the bat at Sundance, and has more theaters slated for January. This is a substantial release for a documentary, so Iraq in Fragments will surely get a DVD issue. But you might say that Iraq in Fragments comes most into its essential movie-ness in its final Kurdish section, which is why I hope this film comes to Central New York. ***** This review was written for broadcast on Women's Voices Radio, 88.3 FM WAER Syracuse, on the Thanksgiving show, 11/23/06.

"Обмен дарами" в отношениях государственных служащих
The author considers the hypothesis that under certain circumstances mistrust acts as the driving force for political development whereas trust, especially in its essential paternalistic forms, preserves the unsatisfactory status quo. The problem analyses as a part of general trend in the contemporary world towards declining prestige of public institutions and taking into account the Russian specifics.
The article is devoted to the search of a new model for interaction between the state and the citizen which has taken place worldwide during the last decades.
The article considers the causes of the common fall of the authority of the traditional bureaucratic structures, in particular, some lack of their capability to respond adequately to social and technological challenges. This article shows serious changes that have been taking place in the national systems of public administration focusing on the specifics of Russia in this context.
The article concerns the problem of the Russian absolutist monarchy of the XVIII - the beginning of XX-th centuries in a comparative perspective. The social function of absolutism consisted in national integration, cultural unification and social transformation of traditional society by using of legal and coercive measures. The crucial problem is the changing role of the bureaucracy which could be the main protagonist of reforms or, just the opposite – its main opponent. From this point of view the author summarizes positive and negative aspects of absolutist reforms making outlook on the comparative experience of other absolutist empires of Europe and Asia.
One of the measures implemented as a part of administrative reform in Russia was the introduction of administrative procedures — special rules for providing government services that specify the process, the timing, the sanctions, etc, which can be used by bureaucrats for coordinating their activities, and by their principals (higher ranking bureaucrats and citizens) to control their agents. The main idea behind the administrative procedures was to increase the transparency of bureaucracies that provide government services, to simplify the control over bureaucrats, to prevent corruption, and, consequently, to increase the quality of government services. But after a few years since the introduction of administrative procedures we still face the problem of low accountability of bureaucrats. Thus, the main goal of the paper is to show whether administrative procedures can solve the problem of bureaucrats’ opportunism, and if they can, what are the key determinants of their effectiveness. To answer the question we provide two simple models of interaction between bureaucrats and citizens, and bureaucrats of different ranks, and describe the links between the models, to show how the introduction of administrative procedures influences the outcome of the interaction between the agents. We also define the set of parameters that can make administrative procedures a real means of control over bureaucrats and thus lead to better quality of government services.
Smoking is a problem, bringing signifi cant social and economic costs to Russiansociety. However, ratifi cation of the World health organization Framework conventionon tobacco control makes it possible to improve Russian legislation accordingto the international standards. So, I describe some measures that should be taken bythe Russian authorities in the nearest future, and I examine their effi ciency. By studyingthe international evidence I analyze the impact of the smoke-free areas, advertisementand sponsorship bans, tax increases, etc. on the prevalence of smoking, cigaretteconsumption and some other indicators. I also investigate the obstacles confrontingthe Russian authorities when they introduce new policy measures and the public attitudetowards these measures. I conclude that there is a number of easy-to-implementanti-smoking activities that need no fi nancial resources but only a political will.
One of the most important indicators of company's success is the increase of its value. The article investigates traditional methods of company's value assessment and the evidence that the application of these methods is incorrect in the new stage of economy. So it is necessary to create a new method of valuation based on the new main sources of company's success that is its intellectual capital.

I have been wanting to glitter these plain earrings with Art Glitter's #143 Glow in the Dark Glitter and I finally did it! I was worried about the detail on the teeth not showing, then it dawned on me. All I had to do was wipe away the glitter around the teeth before it dried. Which I accomplished with the glue tip pin.
I had wanted to take a photo of them with someone wearing them, but it was impossible. Have you ever tried to take a photo of something in the dark? The whole 'no light' thing is a definite hindrance! So this is the best I could get, there's still a little light, hence the shadow. But I promise the glitter really does glow in the dark!
The photo below shows how they looked before, very plain, but a nice white background for the glitter. Which is important for our Glow In The Dark glitter. If you have a transparent or very dark surface you want to glow use our Designer Dries White adhesive. This will give you a good solid white background for glowing results!
This surface resisted the glue quite a bit so I prepared it by cleaning with Rubbing Alcohol first, then I gave it a quick coat of glue and let it dry. Next, I painted on another layer of glue and glittered it. This method usually works pretty well. Even if you find your 'primer' layer of glue resists a little, it will hold with the second coat. If your surface is still resistant, you can rough it up with sandpaper, that usually does the trick!
Here's how they look in normal light. I love the texture with just a hint of twinkle! Really fun. Don't forget that you have to expose Glow in the Dark materials to a strong light source for them to work. We had a debate about using natural light vs. light bulb so I googled it, didn't find an answer. But did find out that the study of phosphorescent materials led to the discovery of radioactivity in 1896. Learn something new every day with google!
Are you using any glitter on a costume this year? Sometimes I just dust myself with an ultrafine transparent glitter for a nice overall shimmer. Hope you have a sparkling and safe night!

Whenever I go away from my home city, I always find the contrast of the lack of wind quite remarkable, particularly on returning home. While we visited a technically much colder place for the weekend, there was virtually no wind to cut through our clothing to our bones. This wind is quite responsible for the desire I get after holidays to up sticks and move back to the lovely, wind-free places I’ve seen…
This photo from my phone is of my first ever experience atop a snowy mountain. It was very cold up there but not bitingly so. I didn’t realise at the time the appearance of the sun. I don’t recall ever seeing the sun like that in one of my own photos. This is the view from the cafe where enjoyed a coffee after walking part way up the mountain.
This is a view of a beginners area (I believe) and will be somewhere I might explore more on my next trip when I am actually ready to try some snow sports. Having never been to a mountain before, My Love and I were woefully unprepared for skiing this time but were keen to learn more about what it is like to be up a giant mountain and to get the feeling of the place.
I’ve come to wonder about the direction and purpose of this blog. It has become a bit of a journal, which I think is what a blog is meant to be….
But what I think I want to do too is to offer some content of value, more in the format of articles. My life is very busy as it is so I am not sure if this is realistic so the Articles as opposed to Blogs might be less frequent. I am not sure! This is somewhat an experiment for me so I am excited to see where it will take me.
I have more to write about my holiday but I think splitting it into smaller chunks is the way to get it done. I also have the photos from my other camera to look through and see if I managed to take any good shots. I am really enjoying getting back into photography.

Christmas classic: Wrap up dinner with elegant beef tenderloin
Nothing says the holidays like a show-stopping, melt-in-your-mouth, Perfect Beef Tenderloin with Gorgonzola Sauce. This elegant and impressive, oven roasted dish is a classic entrée for Christmas Dinner or makes a great appetizer for a holiday or New Year's Eve party.
Don't stress out about what to make for your Christmas dinner because I have you covered. The holidays are all about spending time with your family and friends, and the last thing you should be worrying about is what to serve.
Today I'm sharing a delicious and easy to make beef tenderloin recipe with a tasty gorgonzola sauce that is as simple and low-key as it is elegant and it's guaranteed to impress your family and friends! It only takes a few minutes to prep, then you pop the beef in the oven and the oven does the rest.
The scrumptious, make-ahead Gorgonzola Sauce is just as easy; all you do is throw everything in your food processor and let it do its magic. Then, all you have to do is sit back and bask in the compliments!
When you purchase the beef tenderloin, be sure to ask your butcher to "trim" remove all of the "silver skin" (a thick layer of silvery connective tissue) or remove it yourself with a sharp knife. Also, ask your butcher to "tie" the tenderloin for you. This ensures that the beef is the same thickness all the way around so it will cook evenly.
For the best flavor, liberally season the beef tenderloin before cooking with salt and pepper. I like to use either kosher or sea salt.
After removing from the oven, be sure to let your beef tenderloin "rest" lightly covered with foil for 15-20 minutes before you cut it. The beef will continue cooking, the temperature will increase by about five degrees, and this gives the juices a chance to redistribute.
Beef tenderloin is best served rare or medium-rare. If you have family members or guests who like their meat well-done, consider cutting the whole tenderloin into pieces and cooking each piece to the desired temperatures.
Beef tenderloin is expensive. If you do not have a good instant-read meat thermometer, invest in one. I like and use a DOT Oven Alarm thermometer with a temperature probe. I like it because I can insert the probe in the meat, place the meat in the oven or on the grill, set the temperature, and the DOT beeps when that temperature is reached. Of course, there are lots of other meat thermometer options available. The important thing is to use one and test the thickest part of the roast!
The gorgonzola sauce can be made ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days before serving.
Perfect Beef Tenderloin with Gorgonzola Sauce
Beef Tenderloin Ingredients
3-4 lb. beef tenderloin, center cut, trimmed and tied
3 Tbsp. unsalted butter softened
2 Tbsp. kosher or sea salt
1 tsp. ground black pepper
Gorgonzola Sauce Ingredients:
6 ounces gorgonzola cheese
8 ounces cream cheese softened
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 bunch green onions, green parts only, trimmed and sliced
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
Beef Tenderloin Directions:
About an hour before you are ready to cook it, remove beef from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Place beef on a wire rack on a baking sheet with sides. Rub butter all over the beef and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the beef.
Bake until the meat thermometer registers 130 degrees (medium rare) which should take about 35-45 minutes depending on the thickness of the tenderloin.
Remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil, and let the meat rest for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing. It will come up to 135 degrees F which is the correct temperature for medium-rare.
Gorgonzola Sauce Directions:
Place all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor fitted with an S-shaped metal blade. Process until smooth and creamy. Serve in a small bowl at room temperature.
Slice beef tenderloin and serve with the gorgonzola sauce.

In an attempt to stem losses which number in the hundreds of millions, Disney Interactive announced radical changes to its business plan on Monday. The company will shift attention away from creation of console games, and instead focus on online and mobile entertainment.
The move included the layoff of approximately 200 employees, as well as the closure of an entire game development studio.
Co-Presidents John Pleasants and James Pitaro, who joined the company in October, said in an email to employees Monday night that the move was necessary. “Reorganizations require very difficult decisions and this one is no different,” the pair said. “We must continuously evaluate our structure and organization and its needs in order to make Disney’s digital content and businesses even more robust and successful.”
The cuts come as no surprise to the gaming industry, which has seen a decline in the console game market over the last two years. In fact, Wall Street analysts interpreted Disney’s acquisition of Playdom last year, a firm which specializes in game development for social media sites, like Facebook, as a shift in Disney Interactive’s focus.
The reduction in workforce may just be the beginning. As Pleasants and Pitaro refine their vision and attempt to lead the division into profitability, many expect to see additional waves of layoffs.


Leadership in the White House is about to change, and with that change comes the possibility of a smarter energy policy.
There was a time when one could tell who was a Democrat and who a Republican by asking what the candidate's position was on energy and global warming. Today, such distinctions are blurred. All three front-running candidates — John McCain, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama — have an articulated energy policy that includes continuing to raise the corporate average efficiency (CAFE) standards for American automobiles. All three support legislation to curb U.S. emissions of greenhouse gases.
