Mayors can get too much power, warns Ken Livingstone
The first directly elected mayor of London has warned that the position carries too much power and that the role doesn't work in England's capital.
Ken Livingstone, who served as the first directly elected mayor of London from 2000 until 2008, said that the position attracted the possibility of corruption.
It comes as Dublin City Council voted overwhelmingly in favour of letting the people of Dublin vote on the creation of an office for a directly elected mayor.
A total of 50 councillors voted in favour of the motion at a council meeting yesterday, while councillor Paddy Bourke abstained.
Councillor Bill Tormey was absent from the meeting.
Asked if he believed the position was working in England, Mr Livingstone said he did not.
"I was always opposed to having a directly elected mayor because it concentrates all the power in one person and there's a huge potential for corruption," he said yesterday.
"I mean you look at all the big developments in London, each of those decisions where it went ahead, was mine.
"I could easily have said privately to the developer 'I need 100 grand for this if you want it through'.
"That's what happens, pretty much, in America. At any one time in America there's always at least 50 mayors in prison for corruption.
"I was in favour of having a maximum devolution of power from government down to London, but have a council."
He said that there had to be some way of removing a figurehead mayor, citing current anger about Boris Johnson, who chooses not to come into work on Friday.
Mr Livingstone, speaking to RTE's Sean O'Rourke, stressed that Mr Johnson was not corrupt, but it was possible that a mayor in the future could be.
Meanwhile, speaking after the vote yesterday, independent councillor Nial Ring said: "Hopefully the other three councils in the Dublin region will now follow the city's lead and ensure that it is the people of Dublin, not the officials in the Custom House, the minister or indeed councillors who decide what is best for our great city".
Dun Laoghaire County Council and South Dublin County Council are expected to vote in favour a motion to allow for the creation of a directly elected mayor.
However Fingal County Council is expected to block it, over concerns the area would be marginalised by a directly elected mayor.
The prospect of Dubliners getting to vote in a plebiscite on whether they should have a directly-elected mayor for the city and county now rests with the three other councils, which all meet next Monday.
Fingal and South Dublin county councils will meet in the afternoon – each starting at 3.30pm. The fourth council, Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown, will meet at 8pm.
Also speaking on RTE, Dublin Lord Mayor Oisin Quinn – who supports the introduction of a directly elected mayor for the capital – said that "checks and balances" would be put in place to ensure mayors and their cabinet could be held accountable.
He said it would be possible to remove a mayor with a two-thirds majority of councillors, and that their officials would be approved by a vote of elected representatives and face monthly questioning in the council chamber.
Mr Quinn said: "I think overall if we felt that we could just end up with a corrupt person in public life, we would end up making no decisions to change things – and I think that's just too depressing an outlook."

PreConception (pregame notgame) is a game without rules. It represents the neutral state game designer's mind as he or she considers the possibility space of a new game. It makes visible the radically shifting possibility space within the context of all possible permutations of play. Infinite at first, each selection changes the opportunities and play afforded by the remaining conceptual space. A die introduces chance. Counters introduce economy. Each selection constrains the possibility space of an emerging game further until the game is revealed.
The mere presence of pieces provokes people toward an idea and a constructed possibility space all their own.

Our speaker will examine why Diodorus Siculus's inclusion of his hometown Agyrium in the Bibliotheca Historica is important, especially the glorification of its mythical past, its apparent strength in both politics and warfare, and the fertility of its environs.
When Ovid was exiled to the Black Sea in 8 CE by the emperor Augustus, he was convinced that one of the reasons was his mock-didactic poem Ars Amatoria, which may be translated as the Art or Science of being a Lover. Our speaker will look at the background and precedents of this highly witty and irreverent poem and at the poem itself, with readings from each of the three books.

The City truly appreciates the significant investment the Prior Lake Revival team, including Matt & April Schafer, Dr. Lisa Clausen and Dr. Chad & Neda Olson, have made and continue to make in Prior Lake.
In addition to providing needed services to the residents of Prior Lake, this development will serve as a gateway to Downtown Prior Lake and act as a catalyst for additional commercial development in the downtown area."

Prayer is relationship involving communication with our Heavenly Father. Our relationship with him should not just be a mere acquaintance.~~Rob GatesI often ask myself why is it that prayer can be a chore? A duty to check off my to-do list everyday? Over the years I've scribbled in a prayer journal where I keep my thanksgiving, worship, confessions and requests. This simple act of talking to my Father has kept me focused, enabling me to say what's on my heart to a heavenly Father who already knows my inner most thoughts. I also love to walk and talk(pray) at the park where I'm sure those passing by wonder who I'm talking to!! This past Sunday's message was a reminder and encouragement that God does not want to be just mere acquaintances with his children. The Creator of the Universe who made me in his image wants a personal and deep abiding relationship with me. As I look back over many journals full of desperate pleadings of a wife and mother, not only has God answered many of those prayers, but the relationship I've looked to for other people to fill like my husband or close friend, has happened with my heavenly Father. I can't imagine a day passing not talking to him. The deepening relationship has been forged in the fire of trials where I trusted him in the dark. Our great God is not the light at the end of a dark tunnel but he is the LIGHT in the tunnel with us. He never leaves us or forsakes us. Many of those dark nights seem to never end and darkness seems to have many different shades. Just when we think we may emerge from the valley, darkness seems to descend again. No, this isn't a cheery, merry Christmas blog post because darkness has come into the life of a fellow pastor's wife whose husband was killed in a tragic car accident yesterday. Her husband is gone and a church has lost their beloved pastor. But because of the manger where our Lord was born and it is his birthday we are celebrating, she has hope, as well as anyone who puts their trust in Jesus. The hope of the manger is the hope of the cross where he bled, died and was raised on the third day. The hope that we will be with him someday. (1 Thessalonians 4:13) It is a Merry Christmas, not because of cookies, parties, presents and family celebrations. It is a Merry Christmas because of the hope God gives to each and everyone who will put their trust in "God so loved the world..." (John 3:16-17) And it is this Great God I want to talk to everyday!!
2 thoughts on "Not a Mere Acquaintance"
I really am going to miss Kelvin. Dan said to me the other day that he was one of the few people who truly was humble and had other's interests before his own. Thank you for your thoughts on prayer, Jody. I have kept a prayer journal since college. See! Another thing we have in common. 🙂
Pastor Kelvin will be deeply missed. It is one of those times that sorrow & joy meet. Pastor Kelvin, in addition to his ministry with the Walton congregation, also worked at ACCO Brands (I am employed as well). He was well-liked among his peers and is remembered as one who always had a smile on his face. The community of Walton mourns with Penny.
Are you & Rob planning on coming down to the service next week?
Our prayers are with Penny.

There's good news for Kirkcaldy High Street as a new shopping arcade is currently under construction.
Workmen are busy turning the old McDonald's premises into seven small units which will make up an arcade for independent stores.
Colin Devine, agent at Kirkcaldy's Graham and Sibbald chartered surveyors, who is acting on behalf of the owner, says the arcade will breath new life back in to the town still reeling from the imminent closure of Tesco.
"There'll be seven small units which will be attractive to independent business owners.
"Obviously the units will be too small for any of the big name retailers but they will be perfect for the more niche end of the market."
There has already been some interest and Colin expects that the new arcade will be open soon.
"I've already had discussions with potential tenants looking to fix up a lease on flexible terms," he said.
"Putting a rough estimate on it I think we should see it up and running within three months.
"I think it's a very positive project for the High Street."
Bill Harvey of Kirkcaldy 4 All welcomed the choice for shoppers and the chance to invigorate the middle section of the High Street as the building which has stood empty since November 2011 opens once again.
"Any investment into the High Street is welcome," he said.
"That unit has been empty too long. It's too nice a building architecturally to stand empty.
"I look forward to seeing this new mix of units giving quality and choice to shoppers.
"It's going to be good for that part of town also as is has a higher than average amount of empty units at the moment so a new shopping arcade will hopefully attract other businesses to the High Street also."

Stadium Spotlight: Tradition keeps Nebraska's Memorial Stadium filled
At Nebraska, fans wrap themselves in history and tradition, especially when it comes to Memorial Stadium.
With the nation's longest sell-out streak -- at 335 games before Miami comes to Lincoln -- still active since it all started on Nov. 3, 1962, the Big Red has recorded tradition for the last 50 years. But the tradition that is Memorial Stadium started over 90 years ago, a key piece of Husker life that wasn't lost, even in a 2013 expansion that wrapped the historic domed Gate 20 and original exterior with a new towering facade.

"The new east facade really helped emphasize maintaining that view," Tim Ripp, architect for Lincoln-based The Clark Enersen Partners, tells SI.com. "We created a concourse corridor right along the existing stadium so you can still see the entire east façade inside the new east expansion. Maintaining the history of the original stadium, not touching it structurally, were two key factors."
Three-story glass windows let fans see the historic exterior from the outside. Ripp says they used brick -- a common material campus wide in Lincoln -- to break up the concrete of the new exterior and tie the new portions of Memorial Stadium to the campus. The upper towers were set back from the lower façade to give the new design a "wedding cake" style effect.
The importance of tradition at Memorial Stadium passes down from generation to generation. From fans who don't have to be told to wear red in what becomes the state's third largest city at 87,000 capacity every time it fills up (only Lincoln and Omaha are larger on game days), to the Husker Tunnel Walk serenaded by the tunes of The Alan Parsons Project's "Sirius," to the thousands of red balloons that release following the first Huskers score, Memorial Stadium fills with tradition. And it started that way too.
The original stadium opened in 1923 with 31,000 seats. It bumped to 48,000 in 1964 and within the next couple years had reached 65,000. A major 1999 addition boosted seating to over 74,000 and more recent north and east stadium expansions have grown Memorial Stadium to 87,000, one of the 15 largest NCAA homes in the nation.

Ripp, a season-ticket holder near the south end zone on the east side, says the architecture of Memorial Stadium helps the Sea of Red to get plenty loud. "Memorial Stadium is very loud because it is almost a canyon shape compared to a lot of bowls that have wider bowls," he says. "The entire west façade goes from the outer edge of the original bowl pretty much straight up." And on the east side, he pulled the suite level over the top the club level to get the seats closer to the field and then maintained a steep rake to give quality sight lines.
The steep rakes continue on the north end, where seats rise over the Osborne Athletic Complex, a facility that houses all things Nebraska football, including offices, locker rooms, performance centers, an indoor practice field and a strength complex.

Hilary scheduled to teach Continuing Education across Arkansas/
I will speak about my experience as a Bipolar attorney for CLE credit at two locations in Arkansas. On Friday, November 1 at 2:30pm I'll speak at the University of Arkansas School of Law in Fayetteville. On Monday, November 18 I'll present at 12:00pm at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock's Bowen School of Law. My talk is approved for 1 hour of Ethics CLE and it is free. The talk is titled "Through the Open Door: A Bipolar Attorney Talks Mania, Recovery, and Heaven on Earth." I'll have copies of my book of the same name for sale at the CLE for $12.00 (also available for purchase at Amazon). The target audience is law students, professors, and attorneys, but both talks are open to the public.
By speaking about my own struggles and eventual triumph over Bipolar Disorder, I hope to shine a light on mental illness and help remove the stigma associated with it. Mental illness is not a death sentence, and with the proper treatment and support, anyone can beat mental illness and become a professional, spouse, parent, advocate, and friend.
I volunteer for Arkansas Judges and Lawyers Assistance Program which provides free treatment for lawyers, judges, and family members suffering from mental illness, addiction, and a variety of other illnesses. I have found that advocating for mental health awareness and offering counsel to those suffering is a tonic, and as close to a cure as you can get.
My personal insight into mental illness has proved a powerful tool in securing Social Security Disability benefits for my clients. Few attorneys can relate to a client's manic or depressive episodes. However, I can offer the compassion and understanding that clients seek and deserve.
If you would like for me to speak to a group about my story, please contact me at the Chaney Law Firm.

I hadn't played over at the Our Beautiful World blog for some time, it seems I only get the camera out for things other than Etsy shop goods and tags when we are in France. This week's theme is ' what light through yonder window breaks ', and yes, of course, it was taken in France, lol, through the kitchen window in our cottage -
A storm was approaching and the sky was turning a very dark grey in the distance, yet our little cottage was still bathed in glorious sunshine. I love that kind of light, just before a storm breaks.
Next, this week's tag for the current challenge over at the Tag Tuesday blog. The theme is TEXT. I think I must have had Spring on my brain, because I used four different Distress Inks in pretty pastel Spring colours for the blended background. I made a stencil with different sized holes and used my favourite metallic ink ( copper ) on it and then printed some handwriting text in black ink here and there. The focal point of the tag is a torn piece of TEXT from a wonderful ( but sadly broken) 1713 Italian book. I edged the tag with a gold ink marker and added a seam binding ribbon-
And last but not least, a few photos, taken recently with my phone,whilst out walking with the dogs in the Firehills, our Country Park right on the cliff tops -
Occasionally, these beautiful shaggy ponies are right up on the cliff tops as well. Hector couldn't care less, lol, but they drive Poppy nuts, so she has to go back on the lead when we get close. I do love these beautiful, their rough coats, their beautiful colour and their big soulful eyes. They are so friendly as well and don't mind the dogs one bit.
Enjoy life, stay warm if it is still winter for you, and stay cool if summer temps are soaring where you are. Toodlepip xxx

Five people are in the grips of the police after preventing revenue collectors from issuing tickets to traders at CMB and Makola Market in Accra.
They are Musah Muship, 25, Abdulai Mohammed, 41, Issahaku Sulemana, 32, Adam Mahama, 39, and Sulemana Issahaku, 32.
The Greater Accra regional police spokesperson ASP Effia Tenge has confirmed the incident and subsequent arrest to the media. She said the five are scrap dealers.
"The suspects allegedly seized toll tickets, assaulted the Accra Metropolitan Assembly Revenue Collectors and [also] collected cash of about Ghc2000," she said.
There are a number of cases of forceful takeovers of public facilities after the New Patriotic Party came to power. The thugs are believed to be supporters of the NPP.
The opposition NDC at a press conference Thursday asked President Akufo-Addo to call his supporters to order because they cannot be blamed for "any reprisal attacks."
Meanwhile, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr John Kudalor, has ordered his men to arrest people fueling trouble in the country.

It is difficult to glance at the news today, it hurts, and at the same time it's irresponsible to avoid them. Yes, it's troublesome and it throws me off-center. But it's happening, and as per Marianne Williamson's recent talk, pretending to be all spiritual and denying the reality around me, thinking I am beyond because I am on a spiritual path is tone deaf.
From the children still in cages in Texas crying "mami!" or returning to their parents with PTSD or worse, dead, to the desperation I imagine the mothers must be feeling, to an administration that has thrown all decency out the window and threatens countries through Twitter to divert attention from treason, to racial profiling and killing, to the Muslim ban, denying climate change, exploiting all resources for profit, and so on.… Read the rest

Known as Len to his friends, Leonard Francis Guttridge was born on August 27, 1918 in Bournemouth, England. He died June 7, 2009.
In his 90 years, Leonard packed many roles into an eventful life. During World War II, at the age of 19 he enlisted in the British Royal Air Force and performed the duties of aircraft mechanic, working on fighter and bomber fuselages. He was stationed in Tunisia and Morocco, often volunteering to make supply runs to U. S. military bases so he could borrow the latest Hollywood movies. He had a breadth of knowledge of classic films and would regale friends with his insights about Bogart, Ginger Rogers, Fred Astair, Gene Kelly, and Bette Davis. In addition, he loved jazz and big swing bands and shared V-discs with his American allies.
In 1946, he immigrated to Washington, D.C., where he was employed by the Indian embassy. He met some of the legendary jazz greats during this period of his life, including Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Jimmy McPartland, and trombonist-crooner Jack Teagarden. In 1960, Len started his 50-year career as an author when he co-authored a biography, Jack Teagarden: the Story of a Jazz Maverick, with Jay Smith.
Len developed an abiding interest in the history of his newly adopted country, writing numerous articles for adventure magazines and many highly-regarded books. These books include The Commodores with Jay Smith, 1969; The Great Coalfield War with George McGovern, 1972; Icebound: The Jeanette Expedition's Quest for the North Pole , 1986; Mutiny: a History of Naval Insurrection, 1992; Ghosts of Cape Sabine: The Harrowing True Story of the Greely Expedition, 2000; Dark Union: the Secret Web of the Profiteers, Politicians, and Booth Conspirators That Led to Lincoln's Death with Ray Neff, 2003; Our Country, Right or Wrong: The Life Stephen Decatur, the Navy's Most Illustrious Commander. Shortly before his death, Guttridge completed a handwritten account of the evidence supporting the findings in Dark Union, a work he considered to be among the most important of his writings.

I completely dropped the ball the other day when I tried to minister to a friend.
We were discussing a certain topic; and almost immediately, I realized that we had different opinions on the matter, and decided to try to convince her that she was wrong and I was right. But she wouldn't back down! I decided to tell her a scary story that I was hoping would open her eyes to the truth, but even that didn't work. Lol. It was her response to the story that stopped me in my tracks...
To put it simply, she basically said that everyone is different, and life happens differently to different people.
And that was it.
Just like that, the conversation was over!
I was so amused by the whole situation, not only because of how it had played out, but also because I'd been reminded of how closed-minded I can sometimes be when I'm ministering to people.

True Love.
*I wrote this post for another blog, but in light of Valentine's Day ♥ this weekend, I felt that I should post it here,too. Hope it blesses you.😊
It surprised me when I finally realised that the world was looking for something that I've already found and have actually always had access to – true love.
And what is true love? You might ask.
Like me, you have probably heard so many definitions of true love that it feels like your head can no longer contain them all! You have tried to make sense of them, only for them to leave you even more confused than you were before. But the truth of the matter is that we have been looking for the truth in all the wrong places. The world doesn't know what true love is; how can it know something that it has never experienced?

Sightseeing in Sunny Spain.
Having spent my first semester learning the basics about digital photography, I was eagerly awaiting the opportunity when I'd be able to put everything I had learnt into practice.
Visiting Spain turned out to be that opportunity!
My favourite parable in The Bible has always been the one about two sons (Matthew 21:28-32). The parable tells of how their father asked his sons to go and work in his vineyard. The first one says no, but later on he changes his mind and goes. The second son readily says that he will go, but never goes. I can remember how surprised I was when I read in verse 31 that it was actually the first son who had obeyed his father! My young mind couldn't understand how his response translated to obedience. He had blatantly told his father that he wouldn't go to the vineyard to work.
But I had missed the point: in the end, he is the one who did exactly what his father had asked him to do.
I find it easier and more effective to write down how I feel rather than to say it.

This video was shot on the Microsoft Kinect by me and Dom Jones on December 14th 2010. I then spent the next seven weeks (mostly after work) making it look like that ^
The video was captured and processed using custom applications developed in Cinder. The software was based on the work that Flight 404 did with his early Kinect libraries.

Three of my favorite words. As an ex-Catholic-schoolgirl, I delight in everything forbidden. Admittedly, I picked this book off of the shelf this morning because the title made me snicker. But this book is so much more than a taboo title to giggle at- it's an in-depth look into the ongoing battle between artists/writers/musicians/etc and our collective archenemy: those conservative business-types on Capital Hill who think they have the right to censor us "for the greater good."
So, if you've ever wondered why you can't make, say, or do whatever the bleep you want even though we live in a purportedly free country, this is the book for you.
Check it out!

compensation structure, hr, human resources, merit increases, pay for performance, pay structure
As we enter merit season, organizations are looking at how to allocate merit budgets in a way that maximizes return on investment and drives business success. How much do merit increases drive employee performance, though? For that matter, what is the correlation between total compensation period and business results?
I recently had a conversation with a fellow 1. Long, midly rambling thought stream coming in 3, 2, 1….comp guy about just this topic. 1 We tried to answer the question: Does more pay equal better performance, and if so how consistently can we measure it?
This is just a working hypothesis, but I believe that while pay *does* drive performance… it only does so to the extent that people are unlikely to give their best effort if they don't feel they're being paid competitively. Once people feel they're being paid fairly for what they do, however, additional extrinsic rewards aren't likely to be strongly correlated with markedly higher performance. As such, when employees are paid competitively total compensation should just be a hygiene factor.
…Of course, in practice this issue is a bit more complex: When people say they want to be paid "fairly" or "competitively", what they actually mean is that they want their pay to be aligned with their performance, relevant knowledge base, and experience. As such, the notion of pay driving business results is really about making people feel like they're receiving remuneration in line with their efforts more so than it is about dangling additional carrots to 2. Put another way: A sales person with an uncapped commission doesn't need unlimited earnings potential because he'll only be happy if he makes "X" dollars… he needs it to keep score – although as a side *side* note (hah!) once an org uncaps commissions it is difficult to cap them again. So while more pay doesn't equal higher performance in an absolute sense, if employees don't feel they're being fairly compensated over time that will eventually be reflected in the form of diminished effort (and in turn diminished business results).incentivize them to work harder. 2
Okay… so if the above is true then how do we identify high performers and make them feel like their total rewards package is aligned with their impact on business results? For many roles performance is actually very difficult to measure (particularly within staff functions where the value of a job often isn't fully understood unless or until the person doing it is gone). To this point, manager subjectivity plays a huge role in the performance review process (with that subjective element often making meaningful pay differentiation between top and bottom performers difficult or impossible).
…Perhaps the answer to tackling this challenge can be found in embracing the imperfection of performance measurement. No matter how much time and how many resources we dedicate to analyzing and quantifying performance, there will always be a subjective element. This means that communication and messaging are integral components to ensuring employees feel their pay is aligned with performance.
…To the above point, one of the primary roles of a compensation department should be to effectively generate buy-in across an employee population that the organization is paying competitively/fairly. This requires a delicate balance between pay transparency and maintaining competitive advantage. This balance is often difficult to strike, but when done effectively should get employees less focused on compensation and more focused on driving business results.
…Lastly, I know this is merit season but compensation teams shouldn't lose sight of non-monetary rewards when thinking about how to attract and retain talent. The right intrinsic rewards are often their own form of remuneration. Most people are very motivated by money, but there are other 3. This is one of the many reasons why I think analytics is going to play such a huge role in maximizing the return on human capital going forward. Organizations that can identify what motivates their people (and how that aligns with their values and business objectives) will have a huge leg up over competitors as it concerns the ability to recruit the right people and retain them.things they find just as valuable. 3
As always, please share your thoughts in the comments section.

Jimmy Buffett recently enjoyed a cheeseburger in paradise along Delray Beach's Atlantic Avenue and after a few Landsharks he realized there was no better place to expand his Margaritaville chain than the village by the sea.
He submitted plans to the city this week to bring his island paradise, where only good vibes are allowed, to Veterans Park, 802 NE First St.
Initial plans indicate the project will bring a salt water pool with a swim up bar that only contains top-shelf libations, three tiki huts, lounge chairs, private cabanas and a snack bar. The signature cocktail will be a margarita, of course, and clocks posted around the site will always read 5 p.m.
The pool club can hold 500 people at a time and the surround-sound entertainment system that can also be heard underwater will only play Buffett tunes on repeat. The public parking spaces currently available will be converted into a valet-only for pool guests.
Buffett plans to take full advantage of the city's new expedited development approval process and has agreed to pay whatever fee to get construction underway. The design theme of the project is dubbed "island chic."
The first 100 pool-goers will receive a Kosher pickle from Buffett and a personal meet-and-greet with members of the Coral Reefer Band.
Plans to bring the oasis to Veteran's Park will save the city money it has allocated to spend on improvements to the park. City officials have not determined how that money will be reallocated.

Don't put the grill away yet
Summer time is getting closer to the finish line, but there is still time, at least weather wise, to get outdoors and use that trusty barbecue grill. Most students are back in school, and many families have already had their camping vacations.
The way I see it, though, is that it's always time to enjoy some good food. There are so many things we can grill these days, but hamburgers seem to have no trouble remaining one of the most popular with people of all ages. And we do not need vacations or holidays in order to sink our choppers into a delicious burger, right? I hope you enjoy one or more of the recipes presented this week.
Portabella burgers
Portabella, portobello, doesn't matter in this recipe. These aren't grilled, but can still be served outdoors for those who do not want meat.
2 cups portabella mushrooms, cubed, gills removed
2 cups cooked black beans, rinsed and divided
1 cup minced broccoli (fresh only)
1/2 cup red onion, minced
3 extra-large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons panko crumbs (use gluten free if you like)
1 tablespoon Montreal steak seasoning
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (there is a version that is anchovy free)
2 tablespoons minced garlic
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Extra-virgin olive oil
1. In a large bowl add 1 cup of black beans and mash with a masher (chunks are fine). Add in the mushrooms, remaining black beans, broccoli, garlic, onion, Worcestershire sauce and steak seasoning. Mix until well blended but do not over mix. Gently mix in the eggs, Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs. Set mixture aside.
2. Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once the oil starts to shimmer (about a minute or two), using dampened hands (the mixture will stick to you if you don't), scoop a 1/2 cup of mixture into the palm of your hand and gently shape into a burger all the while pressing together. The mixture should hold a burger shape. If it doesn't add just a tablespoon more of bread crumbs.
3. Place in the oil and cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side or until golden brown and a crust has formed on each side. Serve with hummus, guacamole or steak sauce, Makes 8 to 10 burgers.
Great grilled burgers
I sort of cheat and use my favorite bottled barbecue sauce.
For sauce:
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup molasses
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
For hamburgers:
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/3 cup quick-cooking oats
1/4 teaspoon onion salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
6 hamburger buns, split
Toppings of your choice
1. In a small saucepan, combine all ingredients for the sauce. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Set aside 1 cup barbecue sauce to serve with burgers.
2. In a large bowl, combine the egg, oats, 1/4 cup of the remaining barbecue sauce, onion salt, garlic salt, pepper and salt. Crumble ground beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into six patties.
3. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 160 degrees, basting with 1/2 cup barbecue sauce during the last 5 minutes. Serve on buns with toppings of your choice and reserved barbecue sauce. Makes 6 servings.
Grilled turkey burgers
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey (white meat, dark meat, or a mixture)
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 to 3 teaspoons of hot sauce such as Tabasco
2 green onions, minced, white and green parts
4 fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon sea salt, or more to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 hamburger buns, lightly toasted
Sweet pickle slices
1 tomato, cored and sliced
Coleslaw, for serving on burgers
1. Prepare the grill for direct high heat. You can also cook the burgers on the stove-top on a griddle or cast iron frying pan.
2. In a large bowl, gently combine the turkey meat, breadcrumbs, chives, basil, green onions, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, chili sauce, salt and pepper. Work the mixture with your hands until it is just mixed. Don't over mix or your burgers will end up tough. Form the mixture into 4 patties, about 1 inch thick.
3. Sprinkle the patties with salt and pepper. Grill them for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, until the internal temperature of the patties reach 165 degrees on a meat thermometer.
4. Toward the end of the cooking, put the buns on the grill to toast for about a minute. Remove the burgers from the grill to a platter, cover and let rest for 5 minutes.
5. Assemble the burgers by placing each burger on a bottom bun, and stacking a tomato slice, some pickles, and a bit of coleslaw on top, and then topping with the top bun. Makes 4 servings.
Tropical salmon burgers
You will need a small amount of olive oil for the pineapple and avocado.
For the salmon:
1 pound salmon, skin removed
3 tablespoons of your favorite seasoning (jerk, Cajun, etc.)
2 slices fresh pineapple
1 jalapeno, seeded and thinly sliced
1 avocado, sliced
Butter lettuce
2 hamburger buns, lightly toasted
For cilantro-lime mayonnaise:
4 tablespoons lime juice
2 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 cup cilantro
1 cup mayonnaise
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1. For cilantro-lime mayonnaise: In a food processor blend all ingredients except mayonnaise until finely minced. Stir in mayonnaise and refrigerate while preparing other items.
2. For the salmon: Season salmon with your choice of spices on both sides. Brush pineapple and avocado lightly with olive oil. Grill salmon for 10 to 12 minutes or until it is fully cooked. While salmon is grilling, also grill the pineapple and avocado. The avocado will be done in about 5 to 7 minutes; keep a close eye on the slices.
3. To assemble: Spread cilantro-lime mayonnaise on both sides of the toasted burger buns. Place toppings in the following order: Lettuce, avocado, salmon, pineapple, jalapeno. Makes 2 servings, but can be increased as needed.

Brad Evans' All-Mancrush Team 2018: Buy a Rolls Royce, win a fantasy title
What do the Hope Diamond, King Tutt's tomb, the Madden video game series and this blatherskite have in common?
Virtually everything we encounter/touch/promote gets cursed.
Over the years, dozens of players tagged "All-Mancrush" drowned in an inescapable wake, victims of an unforeseen sinister wrath. Yes, some unrestrained infatuations circumvented disaster. Brandon Jacobs, Rashard Mendenhall, Pierre Thomas, Arian Foster, Le'Veon Bell, Melvin Gordon and Tyreek Hill were a few lustfully pursued names who panned out. Others, however, left hearts broken and rosters in squalor. Ameer Abdullah, Felix Jones, Ryan Mathews, Terrelle Pryor were just a few.
So many failures. So many fantasy obituaries.
As any fantasy owner can surely attest, individual players are often idolized in this obsessive little game. Professed infatuations commonly lead to lopsided trades, arm tendon tears and empty pockets. A few years back I shelled out the approximate street value of one kidney for Montee Ball. Yep, that catastrophe.
In honor of fantasy fixations everywhere, here is your must avoid list the Noise's 2018 All-Mancrush team — obnoxious adjectives and hyperbole included:
QB: Cam Newton, Car (93.5 ADP, QB5) – If Sasquatch emerged from the backwoods of North Carolina and signed on to play tight end for the Panthers, Cam would find a way to overthrow him … repeatedly. Inaccuracy is the passer's only downside. Over his past two campaigns, he ranked No. 32 or worse in overall completion percentage and red-zone completion percentage. He's Blake Bortles with more productive legs.
However, due to his scoring duality, Newton remains a bargain buy at his Round 7-8 ADP in 12-team leagues. Since taking the league by storm in 2011, he finished QB4 or better five times. Norv Turner's belief he can elevate the QB's completion rate into the high-60s is a hallucination, but an increase use of play-action and quick throws can't hurt. Adding rookie D.J. Moore, a prolific short-to-intermediate weapon while at Maryland who looked terrific in the Panthers' Preseason opener (4-74-0), only boosts Newton's profile. So does Carolina's likely forgiving secondary. Shootouts on the horizon? It's very possible. Add it up and It could be argued he's in the best situation of his career. And, no, I'm not overly concerned about the supposed doomed offensive line. Collapsed pockets tend to spark opportunistic runs. Let's not forget, too, Cam has finished QB4 or better in five of his first seven seasons, including a QB2 landing in 2017.
Recently elevated to my QB1 overall, Cam is about to blaze a trail to his finest fantasy season to date.
Fearless Forecast: 3,632 passing yards, 24 passing touchdowns, 14 interceptions, 701 rushing yards, 6 rushing touchdowns, 333.4 fantasy points, QB1
RB: Jordan Howard, Chi (24.7 ADP, RB14) – The raging debate regarding Howard's fit in Matt Nagy's offense has divided fantasy nation. Supporters are convinced he'll operate as the early-down jackhammer and, if his reported tireless attempts to remedy his receiving ills pay off, surprise as a receiver. Conversely, critics argue Nagy's "game specific" advocacy and very public love affair with Tarik Cohen point to a less substantial role for the incumbent. Extinguishing the negativity somewhat, Nagy declared Howard the team's "featured back" in June, though an exact touch per game projection is anyone's best guess. Under nincompoop John Fox, the masher tallied 60.7 percent of the opportunity share in 2017, which ranked RB11 among all NFL rushers. Duplicating last year's workload in a new system is a sensible conclusion.
If Howard coats his hands in Gorilla Glue, he's going to finish inside the RB top-10, provided Mitchell Trubisky advances the Bears air attack forward. Last fall, the RB encountered a base or stacked front 79.4 percent of the time according to Player Profiler. Chicago's offensive line, which finished top-10 in run-blocking efficiency, did manage to create a few holes. Even against mostly unattractive fronts, Howard shuttled his way to the fourth-most runs of 15 or more yards. Additionally, he matched Zeke Elliott in tackles avoided per attempt (0.12). If the offense clicks, he'll pile up salivating stats on upwards of 15-18 touches per game, many of those coming inside the red zone. It's asinine he's fallen to Round 3 in many formats. He was, after all, RB14 in PPR despite the buttery digits. The exaggerated disdain toward him needs to stop.
Fearless Forecast: 260 attempts, 1,099 rushing yards, 32 receptions, 232 receiving yards, 11 total touchdowns, RB11
RB: Royce Freeman, Den (61.1 ADP, RB26) – Many in the fantasy community still house considerable bitterness toward Denver running backs. Thanks to the misguided, deceiving ways of Lucifer Shanahan, owners mining for Rocky Mountain gold missed the memo on Reuben Droughns, Mike Anderson and Tatum Bell. As a result, they vowed to never again trust a Broncos back. But it's time to rescind the blood pact.
Freeman is everything Vance Joseph needs and more. His stout build (6-feet, 235 pounds), quick feet (4.54 40-yard dash) and open-field shiftiness has him on the fast-track to overtake slouch Devontae Booker in short order. Keep in mind, the decorated former Duck accumulated 3.39 yards after contact per attempt and finished RB11 among all FBS rushers in elusive rating last year. Cleaning up in pass pro and offering more consistency as a receiver are necessities, but he's the odds-on favorite to lead the Broncos in touches, netting 15-17 grips per game. Behind an offensive line that finished No. 9 in run-blocking efficiency according to Football Outsiders in 2017 and given the benefits of Denver's overall offensive improvements, the Rolls Royce could very easily tally luxurious, top-15 fantasy numbers. His breakthrough performance Preseason Week 1 was just the beginning. In terms of running style and fantasy substance, he reminds me of Chicago's battering ram mentioned above. Saddle him up.
Fearless Forecast: 256 attempts, 1,072 rushing yards, 31 receptions, 241 receiving yards, 8 total touchdowns, RB14
WR: Josh Gordon, Cle (51.9 ADP, WR26) – Accumulated rust be damned. Gordon, off a year-plus disappearance from professional football, showcased his world-class skills from the onset late last year. In five games, he enticed 26.4 percent of the target share, averaged a ridiculous 2.09 yards per route (WR13), 17.5 average depth of target (WR2) and chipped in 11.5 fantasy points per game. Extrapolate his 18-335-1 line over 16 games and he would've finished at 58-1072-4, nearly the same number of total fantasy points in .5 PPR as T.Y. Hilton. And that's just scratching the surface. Other advanced analytics (e.g. success versus man/press coverage per #ReceptionPerception) paint a rosy picture. Again, that's not too shabby considering the forced vacation and his horrendous quarterback play. Understand he finished WR86 in catchable targets percentage. Deshone Kizer, who would miss Cedar Point's 205-foot Steel Vengeance from five yards out, overthrew him routinely.
Yes, Jarvis Landry is a volume receiver who will likely reduce Gordon's workload, but they're two very different weapons. Landry along with Duke Johnson and David Njoku's presence in the short field could lead to more premium downfield looks, especially with fantasy #BurnerAccount, Corey Coleman, out of the equation.
More importantly, Tyrod Taylor and Baker Mayfield are substantial upgrades at QB. Remember, Gordon tallied godlike numbers in 2013 with the likes of Jason Campbell, Brandon Weeden and Brian Hoyer under center.
Due to his superior talents, ideal size and prominent role, he's a bargain at his discounted ADP. A WR1-level season in 12-team leagues is on the horizon, assuming he returns to the team promptly.
Fearless Forecast: 73 receptions, 1,109 receiving yards, 8 touchdowns, 195.4 fantasy points, WR10
WR: Larry Fitzgerald, Ari (33.6 ADP, WR14) – In the not-so-distant future, bronze statues of Fitzgerald will glisten under the scorching Sonoran sun. The man is an Arizona institution, a dedicated, unflinching consistency king whose popularity in the area is only rivaled by Kurt Warner and John McCain. Some believe given his advanced age (35) he can't possibly continue to crank out elite fantasy campaigns, but similar to Tom Brady his football DNA is more than your standard double helix.
Fitzgerald is one of my prime targets in .5-plus PPR leagues (34.7 ADP, WR15). He's affordable, highly reliable and destined to hog targets on a Cardinals team somewhat devoid of quality pass catchers. Last year, he skewered defenses over the middle compiling a 71 percent success rate on catches between 4-7 yards. He also ranked top-12 in several additional advanced analytics categories, including contested catch rate, total yards after catch and red-zone receptions. Equally important, he's tied to a pair of accurate short-field passers. Fantasy owners are familiar with Sam Bradford's ability to throw strikes, but Josh Rosen, the most precise passer on intermediate pass plays among all FBS QBs last year according to Pro Football Focus, is also capable of threading needles.
Fitz owns the characteristics any fantasy owner with a functional brain craves. He's a high-volume (27.2 TGT% in '17), high-floor weapon who should again eclipse the 100-catch mark along with 1100 yards and 6-8 TDs. In other words, a repeat of his WR5 per game output in PPR is bankable. Draft him with supreme confidence.
Fearless Forecast: 105 receptions, 1,129 receiving yards, 7 touchdowns, 207.5 fantasy points, WR11
TE: Trey Burton, Chi (101.8 ADP, TE10) – Think of the former Eagle as the truculent grizzly from "The Revenant;" the competition prime DiCaprio flesh. He's not the perfect size, but Burton is slippery in space, athletic, efficient and an overall route technician. In other words, he's extremely difficult to cover over the middle of the field, particularly when facing zone coverage. On a per opportunity basis with Philly last year, he ranked No. 4 in the category (0.52 fpts/opp in PPR). All he was missing was a steady snap share (31.9% in '17) and now he has it. Adam Shaheen's presence is a dauntless roadblock.
Nagy is an aggressor when it comes to attacking defenses between the hashmarks and within 20 yards – slants, digs, sit-down routes. Trubisky, who excelled in two-TE 12-personnel sets last year (9.6 YPA, 50% success rate), meshes impeccably with his head coach's philosophy. Burton (Anthony Miller too) is sure to be a primary read operating as Travis Kelce in this offense, possibly drawing 18-20 percent of the target share. Record that type of workload and a 65-825-8 season is reachable.
Fearless Forecast: 63 receptions, 712 receiving yards, 5 touchdowns, 132.7 fantasy points, TE6

FLEX: Jordan Wilkins, Ind, RB (173.4, RB58) – Every year a later-round or undrafted rookie RB free agent experiences a carpe diem moment. Two years ago Howard rocked the fantasy world. Last season, it was Jamaal Williams. This fall, Wilkins owns a similar potential.
Selected in Round 5 of the NFL draft, the Ole Miss product shouldn't be underrated. In a breakthrough campaign for the Rebels he amassed a 155-1011-9/26-241-1 line over 12 games. Beyond scratching the surface, he also racked an outstanding 3.32 yards after contact per attempt, 23.8 missed tackle percentage on all touches and finished RB7 in elusive rating among all FBS backs according to Pro Football Focus. He's an upright runner, but his size (6-foot-1, 218-pounds), multidimensional skills, power between the tackles and slipperiness visually impress. Colts RBs coach Tom Rathman, who recently talked up the youngster's vision and physicality, agrees. With Marlon Mack sidelined for the next 2-3 weeks (hammy) and Robert Turbin suspended to start the season, Wilkins has an enormous opportunity to wrest away first-team reps. No, Christine Michael isn't a thing, you loons.
If Andrew Luck regenerates and the offensive line fronted by prized rookie Quenton Nelson progresses, the youngster could convince Colts coaches he's their true RB of the present. As owners go gaga over Mack (91.8 ADP) and Nyheim Hines (132.1) much earlier, sneak Wilkins on your roster and ridicule their idiocy.
Fearless Forecast: 183 attempts, 788 rushing yards, 19 receptions, 135 receiving yards, 5 total touchdowns, 131.8 fantasy points, RB30

The Sims 3 is a reality simulator, following the style of The Sims 1 and 2. Players control their own Sims in activities and relationships in a similar manner to real life. The gameplay is open-ended and indefinite.
The Sims 3 differs in several fundamental ways from its predecessors:
Sim houses and neighborhoods are entirely in one continuous map.
The Sims 2 used a reward system called Wants and Fears. This is replaced with a new system called Wishes in The Sims 3. Fulfilling a Sim's wish contributes to the Sim's Lifetime Happiness score and mood.
The game includes an optional feature called "Story Progression," which allows all Sims in the neighborhood to autonomously continue as if the player were controlling them, such as grow up, get married, get jobs and promotions, have children, build or buy their dream house while the player isn't playing.
Opportunities, tasks that Sims can complete to earn rewards. These challenges occur randomly based on aspects of each Sim's lifestyle, such as relationships, skills and job.
In addition there are many improvements to building and shopping tools, as well as new careers and skill bonuses.

Hasegawa 1/48 P-400 Airacobra Kit First Look
By Michael Benolkin
|Date of Review
|August 2006
|Bell P-400 Airacobra
|Kit Number
|Primary Media
|Very nice detailing
|Skill Level
First Look
Bell designed an advanced fighter aircraft in 1938 that featured a 37mm cannon firing through the propeller spinner and different configurations of machine guns depending on the version. The engine was mounted behind the pilot, with the propeller shaft running under the pilot's seat and between his legs. The aircraft incorporated one of the first nosegear arrangements on an operational fighter.
The P-400 was specifically a P-39D built to UK specifications. In operations, the RAF didn't care for the aircraft. It lacked performance above 12,000 feet and the Allison engine was not supercharged (a result of some pre-war politics in the US defense industry).
When US aircrews entered the theater, they operated the P-400s as well as the P-39s that came over into combat. The USSR employed the aircraft extensively as it was found to be a worthy fighter in Soviet service until MiG and Yak production could ramp up, with the Soviets receiving over half of the total P-39 production.
I was a little surprised to learn that Hasegawa had opted to do the P-39 series (including this P-400) so soon after the Eduard P-39s had swept through the market. Like the recent P-40, Hasegawa took their own approach to engineering the kit to render most of the operational variants of the aircraft. You can see in the lower parts tree photos how only some of the sections are filled in, meaning that other props and essential details will be available as needed for other variants.
The kit is molded in light gray styrene, and is impressive with its sharply-scribed detailing. There are six parts trees in the box and one additional tree containing the clear canopy, doors, etc.
Two different styles of exhaust stacks are provided to indicate the some of what is to come, and the notches in the wing to accommodate different gun installations also hint at future more versions.
Like the Eduard kit, the car doors are molded in clear to make it easier to represent the side cockpit windows. Unlike the Eduard kit, this release has no photo-etch parts nor the essential lead ballast included to keep the aircraft from becoming a tail dragger.
Even though some of the essential parts to render later versions of this aircraft are not in the box, there are quite a few parts you will not use to render the P-400, so you'll have some nice detail parts for your spares box.
The cockpit access doors are positionable. You have your choice of an external fuel tank or bomb on the centerline rack.
The markings included in this kit are for :
- P-400, 67 FS/347 FG, BW167, Guadalcanal, 1942
- P-400, 39 FS/35 FG, 13, New Guinea, 1942 "Pat/Wahl Eye II"
A very complete set of maintenance stencils are also provided for the aircraft.
Out of the box, this kit looks good and should build into a nice rendition of the Airacobra. We'll be taking a closer look at the differences between the different 1/48 P-39 kits soon. Stay tuned!

There are so many different ways to wear a pair of simple black gauchos like this, and I decided to take them full on 70s glam rock. Well, maybe more like 70s glam rock spending a summer day on the boardwalk. I'm in California after all! Either way, it allowed me to bust out a few of my favorite pieces that I don't wear much anymore. In fact, I need to find more reasons to wear this clutch! It actually has a gold metal strap that can be tucked inside. How fun is that? Culotte type gaucho pants like this are very on trend right now...how would you style them?

Occasionally, archaeologists come across finds which are "out of time" - that is, they do not fall in line with our current history books.
1.Pre-Historic Aeroplanes from South America
These objects shown in the photographs above have caused controversy.
Some believe that they are nothing more than highly ornate, stylised sculptures of flying insects, others believe that the objects are depictions of flying aircraft.
Why the controversy?
These artefacts, two inches long, made from gold, found in Peru are estimated to be 800 - 1000 years old!
Classified as "Sinu" a pre-Inca culture
The controversy was so great that in 1997, a prototype of the exact (scaled-up) shape of the object was re-created, a propeller and engine added, and it was proved to be an effective flying machine.
2.Micro-fine Russian Metal Screws
The objects photographed above were discovered by gold prospectors, between 1991 and 1993 in numerous sites along the river Narada in Russia.
They are spiral in shape and range in size from 0.003mm to 3cm.
They are made from various metals - copper, tungsten and molybdenum.
Tungsten and molybdenum have high melting points (6100 deg F and 4750 deg F) and are primarily used today for highly stressed weapon parts and vehicle armour.
Tests upon the objects date them at between 20,000 and 318,000 years old!
The burning question therefore is who made them, are what they were for?
3.The Piri Reis Map
The map shown above was drawn out on Gazelle skin by Piri Reis, a famous Admiral of the Turkish fleet in 1513.
He used information from the Imperial Library of Constantinople from information he found which dated back to 4000 BC.
What makes this map remarkable is that it accurately depicts the entire Antarctic region before it was covered in ice.
Something that modern day cartography only managed to do (from above the ice) in 1949.
Scientists have various predictions in respect of the last time that the Antarctic was without ice - the earliest prediction is 4000 BC - the latest 13000 BC.
So which civilisation between 13000 BC and 4000 BC were capable of such detailed cartography!
Modern cartographers have also commented that to compile such a detailed and accurate map, information would have had to have been taken from an aerial view - which only serves to deepen the mystery.
4.Mexican Dinosaur Statues
These statues pictured above, along with 33,000 other similar ones (all of varied but known dinosaur species) were discovered in 1945 during an archaeological dig in Acambaro, Mexico.
They are thought to have been made by the Chupicuaro Culture who lived in this region of Mexico between 800 and 200 BC.
Yet archaeologists assert that dinosaurs became extinct around 65 million years ago and that mans knowledge of them is limited to the last 200 years.
5.The Kingoodie Hammer
The object pictured above is believed to be a hammer, made of nailed iron and wood.
It was discovered in 1844 in the Kingoodie quarry in Scotland, within a slab of red sandstone.
This all sounds very ordinary until it is explained that the sandstone encasing the hammer has been studied and dated by geologists, and is known to be between 360 and 408 million years old.
To get some measure of the enormity of this find, homo sapiens are said to have evolved just 400 thousand years ago.
