Surely the Kings must be one of the league's best teams! *checks notes* Oh. I see. Final Score: 5-2 Kings
This morning, I wrote that the Oilers had to approach tonight's game against the Kings as a must-win situation. Not only have the Kings sucked horribly through the first two months of the NHL season, but they also played (and lost) last night against the Vancouver Canucks. From where I blog, going up against a horrible team on the second half of a back-to-back set should mean that two points in the bank and anything less than that would be unacceptable. Am I right? Of course I am. What I'm really trying to say is that the Oilers have gotten their asses kicked so many times over the years by the Kings and others that I don't think it's uncalled for to want to be on the other end of the beatdown for once. Frankly, the boys couldn't have been better set up to succeed and close this road trip out with a win. Unfortunately, the Oilers never seem interested in our plots for revenge.
Since the Oilers had plenty of time to rest since Friday's matinee against the Ducks, I was hoping to see them bursting with energy to make sure they took advantage of a tired Kings team. What actually happened was the Kings were the ones with jump and they got off to a strong start complete all kinds of offensive chances. Had it not been for a few big saves, the Oilers would have easily found themselves down by a few goals before the game was even 10 minutes old. Unfortunately, things didn't get much better from there. While they were able to get themselves an early second-period lead, the Oilers couldn't hold it for more than a couple of minutes. Over this recent slump, the boys have had a really bad habit of playing down to their competition and gapping on large chunks of their games, and they got a healthy dose of both of those problems tonight.
To put it lightly, this was a winnable game that the Oilers had to have but they came out flat and completely dropped the ball. Frankly, to lose like that to the worst team in the league is nothing short of embarrassing and every single person associated with the organization had better take a look in the mirror because that was ugly.
The wrap.
- Alex Chiasson got the Oilers on the board, cancelling out what was a wonderful start by the LA Kings. After falling behind early, the Oilers looked like they might be starting to get themselves into trouble but it was Chiasson's goal (that Connor banked in off him) that knotted things up and started to turn the tides in their favour. Chiasson followed up with a second goal early in the second period after parking himself in front of the net and knocking home a loose puck.
- Connor McDavid was one of the few Oilers to be moving his feet tonight and he extended his point streak to six games. The way he can rush the puck through the neutral zone with speed is incredible and I don't know how anyone could be expected to defend him.
- Ryan Nugent-Hopkins extended his point streak to four games with an assist on Alex Chiasson's second goal of the night. That's two goals and two assists for Nuge over his last four games as he looks to establish himself as the second line centre. The problem with that plan is, of course, the lack of qualified wingers to play beside him.
- Oilers went 1/3 on the power play tonight and even thought it would have been nice to see them get more than one, it is encouraging to see them convert tonight.
- Good night for Oscar Klefbom as he finished the night with a team-high 26:10, eight shots, five blocks, and two assists.
- Jesse Puljujarvi made his first appearance of the Hitchcock era and looked alright, though he won't be happy about the holding penalty he took. In his first game back from Bakersfield, the big Finn played 7:43 with two PIMs and a blocked shot.
- Chris Wideman only played 13:31 tonight but you could certainly notice his offensive instincts and ability to move the puck up ice. While the defensive side of his game certainly looks like it could use some work, there's no doubt that his passing Kung Fu is strong, and that's something that has been sorely lacking on the Oilers backend.
- Absolutely brutal start for the Oilers tonight. For being supposedly rested, they sure got dummied by a terrible Kings team that played last night. Not a good look, boys.
- Dustin Brown came into this game without a goal in his last eight games and, as per tradition, the Oilers wanted to help the guy out. Brown was the beneficiary of a perfectly executed 2-on-1 with Anze Kopitar and it seemed like only a matter of time before the Kings would finally get on the board. Not to be outdone by Chiasson, Dustin Brown got his second goal of the game after found his way into the slot completely alone and available to one-time a snapshot past Talbot. Adding salt to the wound was the fact that Brown picked up the hat trick into the empty net.
- Anze Kopitar gave the Kings their first lead of the game early in the third period after he was able to break in alone and beat Talbot with a quick snapshot to the blocker side.
- Even though they were already down by two goals, the Oilers decided to pull the net and allow a second empty-netter. Matt Luff put the Kings up by three when it was completely unnecessary.
- The Oilers allowed Grade-A chances like it was their business and that's a sad state of affairs considering the Kings are running a reputation of being a team that can't score.
- Cam Talbot got the start tonight and he really needed to have a good one because he's been on a horrible stretch of late. Early on, he looked like he was going to give the Oilers the goaltending they needed to close out this thing out but he ended up getting outduelled by his counterpart yet again. That's not to say that Talbot necessarily played poorly whatsoever, he finished the night with 27 saves and a .900 save%, but he couldn't match what was happening the other end of the ice and that ended up costing the Oilers. That said, the team in front of him gave up far too many scoring chances and it's hard to blame Talbot for this one.
- Edmonton started off well on the PK tonight but they ended up on the hook for two goals against on five chances. As a whole, the Oilers spent far too much time in the box and couldn't bail their team out when it happened. Bad combination.
- How mad do you think Ty Rattie was when he found out that Hitchcock would be his coach again? Much like what happened in St. Louis, Rattie barely saw the ice as he finished with only 3:32 on the night.
- Shout out to everyone that watched tonight's game from the eastern time zone or further because waiting for 8:30 pm starts is the worst.
- Oilers went 44% in the faceoff circle. Not ideal.
- I know that the Grey Cup had nothing to do with this hockey game but I can't help but feel upset that people in Calgary are happy.
- Of course I have to eat beets because of the LA Kings. OF COURSE I DO! Join in the misery over on my Twitter account.

There are a lot of things I want to be thankful about. This time, I want to say how happy I am that I started blogging using WordPress. I have never felt so d*mn happy in my entire life. I know that I am not an experienced blogger and it takes a whole lot of courage and time to share the things I have in mind. 100% sure that I only have a few followers but it does not matter, blogging has never been this fun before, although no one gets to read all my posts, I feel excited when a person just hit the "like" button. As they say, THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE, Yes! WordPress + Blogging is one of them until the day I decide to buy a premium account (maybe if I have 10,000 followers, lol, just kidding). Sharing has never been this fun, plus I get to read and travel using a computer. Don't you just love it when you get to see real pictures with real stories in them? Come on! Don't be silly, I found it similar to time traveling. I get to see places I want to visit since I know I may not get to travel so far (can someone send me to Europe for free please?). This is a place where your race and color of skin does not matter. I do not find any hate in this place, everyone and every word is full of encouragement and positive ideas. These are the things that make the world go round. Technology can be used in a positive way and making international online friends is really amazing.
In the end of it all, having a WordPress account is such a blessing, it takes away my worries when I write (though I am not a writer, just a wanna be). Thank you Lord for the blogging experience, may I continue to grow until I become a famous blogger! ***wink wink wink***

The White House has a bit of a turnover problem: Steve Bannon is just the latest high-profile aide of President Trump to exit the administration.
Bannon's departure comes less than one month after his GOP establishment rival, Reince Priebus, was forced out of the White House chief of staff role during Anthony Scaramucci's brief tenure as White House communications director.
Scaramucci's entrance also marked the end of Sean Spicer's term as White House press secretary — but Scaramucci was fired by Trump's new chief of staff shortly thereafter.
And Scaramucci was only able to get a White House job thanks to the exit of Communications Director Mike Dubke in May.
The administration's also seen a handful of protest exits from career officials — acting Attorney General Sally Yates was fired for refusing to defend Trump's travel ban, and White House ethics chief Walter Shaub resigned to protest Trump's conflicts of interest.
Other officials left under shadier circumstances — former national security adviser Michael Flynn was the first of Trump's close confidants to be shown the door after his contacts with Russia during the Trump campaign came to light.
And the investigation into Flynn and Russian election interference eventually led to Trump's biggest departure when he fired FBI Director James Comey. That touched off a series of leaks and speculation culminating in dramatic testimony from Comey before Congress.

DWTS Peta Murgatroyd Interviewed About Ballroom Dancing And Performing In "Sway"
Peta Murgatroyd talked with the Miami Herald about the new "Sway" show. She says it's nothing like the Dancing With The Stars tour and it's more theatrical. She also talks of how fun Ballroom dancing is and how it keeps you in shape. Lots more below….
"Ballroom dancing is no longer a thing your grandparents did, the dorky thing you didn't want to admit you're doing," says Murgatroyd, 29, from rehearsals in Los Angeles. "This is something freaking amazing to do. Keeps you fit and healthy, and it's an incredible art form that inspires people."
Sway taps into that feeling and the ballroom revival fueled by the splashy TV dance shows.
"These kind of shows, like Dancing With the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance, brought it back for people to fall in love with again. [They have] given children and teens a greater purpose to be creative, so it's good for the art form," Murgatroyd says.
Sway, however, is not the Dancing With the Stars Tour redux. It's more theatrical, Murgatroyd says. Divided into three parts, it delves into the lives of its pro dancers.
Sway opens with a debonair Dovolani leading a production number meant to evoke the nightclub scene of 1940s and '50s Manhattan.
Val brings an emphasis on hip-hop, street and urban influences to the second act. Then Maks, with Murgatroyd, brings South Beach to the mainland for a fusion of salsa, rumba and cha cha.
"It's about the three boys — Maks, Tony and Val — and their journeys to America, and what that means to them," Murgatroyd says.
"It's amazing because I have no roots in South America. I'm Eastern European, so it's very strange that I've always been drawn to that culture, and it's kind of exciting," Maks said.
Murgatroyd, born in Auckland, New Zealand, and raised in Perth, Australia, similarly finds herself attracted to Latin rhythms.
"I must say my favorite dances in the show are during my section," she says. "I love the passionate, fiery dances. I don't get to tell my story about coming to America, but I get to do the dances I love like the salsa and rumba and cha cha. I like creating a story when I dance, and those dances do that with love and lust and anger and pain, and the cha cha is cheery. I like exploring those things. Perfect for Miami."
To read more, see the Miami Herald. Show dates for "SWAY: A Dance Trilogy" is scheduled for December 3-6, 2015 (5 shows) in Miami. For tickets visit: www.swayshow.com.
ETA: Here is Local 10 with a sneak preview and interviews with Maks, Peta, and Rumer….
ETA2: Below Maks talks with the Examiner. To read the full interview, see this link. Note how they are ending "Sway" after the Miami run and are thinking of touring nation wide and do a different production.
JE: In this installment of "Sway," You will reunite with your fellow "Dancing with the Stars" Season 18 co-champion: Meryl Davis. What is it like to have the opportunity to work with her once again?
MC: Meryl was a part of the last two SWAY productions. She loves performing with the cast and I love working with her. I think that we try to stay close as friends and maintain this relationship that was developed on DWTS. I think we have succeeded! We have a lot of mutual friends on that stage and she is going to have an amazing time as she did in the last couple of installments.
JE: While Meryl and Rumer Willis (Val's Season 20 co-champion) will be participating in this go-around of "SWAY," would you like to have some of your former "DWTS" partners perform in future installments?
MC: (Laughs) I think we are good! I think that SWAY is now in its ultimate form. One of our main goals was not to turn SWAY into a Dancing with the Stars homage. Meryl, Rumer and everybody else from DWTS are characters in SWAY. We are not ourselves, we represent characters that drive our show's storyline. We asked and attracted people that we thought could fill those roles and that was Meryl and Rumer. Zendaya also has done very well in previous installments, but unfortunately she was unable to participate this time around. There will be opportunities in the future where I could possibly work with my past partners. I am always open to working with them again.
JE: If "SWAY" has a successful run in Miami, would a nationwide tour be in the foreseeable future?
MC: (Laughs) There has always been talk about taking the show nationwide. SWAY was the very first show that a lot of us had in producing a show of this size. We (as a company and creative team) know that we can do it. But, after this SWAY installment, we are going to go back to the drawing board. We have other ideas and scripts on the table that we want to entertain, if we want to go on that side of the business. We certainly feel like that Dance With Me as a production company can tackle a show of this magnitude successfully. However, I think we are going to end the run of SWAY after our Miami performances. These upcoming shows will be sentimental and it will be anchored by the South Beach vibe. It was always our ultimate goal to perform SWAY in Miami! The next step is probably going to involve a different production and that will be focused with a nationwide tour in mind. This show was not born to travel; it was created for us to experiment. This experience was just like baking a cake! The first time you made the cake too big, because you did not know your proportions. (Laughs) SWAY is way too big for both travel and production. We are going to trim it, use some ideas that we did not think that we could tackle and we are going to put on a show for everyone to love and fall in love with.

Obama: Hey Moody, now that 'change' has come,
you don't have to recognize Israel anymore
A central pillar of the Obama administration's Middle East policy paradigm was shattered at the Fatah conference in Bethlehem – but don't expect the White House to notice.
At the conference, Fatah's supposedly feuding old guard and young guard were united in their refusal to reach an accommodation with Israel. Both old and young endorsed the use of terrorism against Israel. Both embraced the Aksa Martyrs Brigades terror group as a full-fledged Fatah organization.
Both demanded that all Jews be expelled from Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem ahead of the establishment of a Jew-free Palestinian state.
Both claimed that any settlement with Israel be preceded by an Israeli withdrawal to the indefensible 1949 armistice lines and by Israel's destruction as a Jewish state through its acceptance of millions of foreign-born, hostile Arabs as immigrants within its truncated borders.
Both demanded that all terrorists be released from Israeli prisons as a precondition for "peace" talks with Israel.
Both accused Israel of murdering Yasser Arafat.
Both approved building a strategic alliance with Iran.
In staking out these extremist positions, both Fatah's old guard and its younger generation of leaders demonstrated that Fatah's goal today is the same as it has been since the its founding in 1959: Liberating Palestine (from the river to the sea) by wiping Israel off the map.
Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas's decision to remove both his own mask and that of his organization should cause the Netanyahu government to reassess its current policies toward the group. For the past four months, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and his government have quietly barred all Jewish construction in eastern, northern and southern Jerusalem neighborhoods, as well as in Judea and Samaria. The government's unofficial policy has been implemented in the hopes of pleasing the Obama administration, which argues that by barring Jewish building, Israel will encourage the Fatah-controlled Palestinian Authority to moderate its policies and so engender an atmosphere conducive to a peaceful settlement of the Palestinian conflict with Israel. The Fatah conference put paid to that fiction.
Fatah's message to the Netanyahu government is important. But even more important is the message it conveys to the Obama administration. For Netanyahu, the Fatah gathering bore out his prior assessment that the group is a wolf in sheep's clothing. For US President Barack Obama, the message of the Fatah conclave was that his administration's assumptions not only about Fatah, but about terrorists and terror-supporting regimes in general are completely wrong.
For the Obama administration, Fatah was supposed to be the poster child for moderate terrorists. Fatah was supposed to be the prototype of the noble terrorist organization that really just wants respect. It was supposed to be the group that proved the central contention of the Obama White House's strategy for dealing with terror, namely, that all terrorists want is to be appeased.
But over the past week in Bethlehem, Fatah's leaders said they will not be appeased. To the international community whose billions of dollars in aid money and boundless goodwill and political support they have pocketed over the past decade and a half they sent a clear message. They remain an implacable terror group devoted to the physical annihilation of Israel.

Regional Initiatives
In Focus
Yemen faces the worst humanitarian in the world. The country has become increasingly unstable since the conflict escalated dramatically in mid-March 2015, severely disrupting the economy, including the agriculture sector. In light of these alarming situation, FAO is empowering 38 Water User Associations (WUAs) to promote better water management and reduce local conflicts over water resources.
As the violence continues, an estimated 9.8 million Syrians are in urgent need of food and farming support. Current forecasts point to worsening cereal crop production. Each day, as thousands of Syrians continue to flee to neighboring countries, urgent humanitarian assistance is needed.

Project Renegade is a four-member metal band from Athens, Greece, founded by Marianna (vocals) and Ody (drums) and joined after by Nick K. (guitar) and Jay (bass).
Project Renegade's sound derives from an alternative, modern, heavy and groovy background blended with electronic and ambient elements.
After releasing its debut EP "Cerebra" to high critical acclaim, the band has completed its first full-length album titled "Order of the Minus", due for release on October 31st, 2019.
"Order of the Minus" explores the subject of "loss" in the modern world.
From social strife and labeling of peers, to psychological conflicts and personal loss, the band sets the aforementioned thematic and examines it as a potential common denominator for today's youth to grasp unto and to unite under towards a better tomorrow.
With the battle cry for "unity through diversity" as main message, this record is rooted in the belief that, if we accept that everyone has lost something in their life, maybe we can finally let our guard down and view each other as equals and understand that by putting our differences aside and focusing on our similarities, we can come together and finally win.
"Order of the Minus" was mixed and mastered by Forrester Savell (Karnivool, Twelve Foot Ninja, Dead Letter Circus), recorded at Matrix Recording Studio Athens by Dimitris Misirlis and the artwork was created by Gustavo Sazes (Machine Head, Arch Enemy, Amaranthe).
The first video clip for the lead single "Liber8" was released on September 28th, 2019.

Theme of the issue: The Opposition of the Individual and the Social in Social Phenomena
In proposing to discuss the individual and the social, we would like to turn the researchers' attention to two groups of synonyms: singular, particular, private, personal, individual – on the one hand; and general, common, communal, social, public, collective – on the other hand. The fundamental notions "the individual" and "the social" are present in various forms in every social sphere and reflect the basic phenomena of social reality. Their forms of realization include personality and collective, individual and collective consciousness, private and public spheres of people's lives, various forms of property and types of goods, etc. The existence of these mutually opposed phenomena is not only reflected in language, it is also fixed in all forms of collective consciousness.
In many cases, the individual and the social in social reality are considered antagonists, mutually exclusive phenomena. Consider, for example, the concepts of personality-oriented and collectivist pedagogics, or individualism and collectivism in politics and economics, etc. We believe normative approaches to the study of this opposition to be unproductive at present. Instead it is useful to investigate those qualities of social phenomena that emerge from their individual vs. social nature, or those qualities resulting from the realization of social phenomena in private vs. public sphere. We expect the conference papers address these general issues. The papers should not limit their object to one side of this dichotomy; they should contain an analysis of differences within this opposition.
These issue of the individual and the social can be addressed within different fields of science, hence we invite representatives of the all branches of Humanities and Social Sciences to join the discussion.
Publication terms and conditions:
— an article must meet the substantive and formal requirements of the journal;
— before the approval, a preliminary discussion of an article will take place in the context of a conference, which is conducted by the Institute for Research on Social Phenomena in October 2017 (see more detailes on the organizer's website)
— publication in the journal and participation in the conference is free of charge.
Important dates
5 October 2017 – deadline for applications and submission of abstracts;
15 October 2017 – notification of authors about the acceptance of abstracts;
17 – 25 October 2017 – discussion of abstracts online;
27 – 28 October 2017 – Conference Events.

App Store Description
This application needs the Cashy-POS cash register application to operate properly!
A customer display showing the transaction details from Cashy-POS on an iPhone or iPod touch screen.
A must for every professional cash register!

Cashy-Display shows each transaction-item and and summing-up total of the transaction as well as the payment method chosen and the received/returned amount.
You can choose a picture or movie showed during a defined inactivity of the cash register.
In order to not need a power cable connecting to the customer display, the screen can be dimmed after a user defined time of inactivity.
We tested Cashy-Display in an average frequented shop and the iPhone 3GS was running on battery more then 10 hours.
Several colours for the digits (red, blue/green and white) can be chosen. The background colour during transactions can be black or white.
As first step, Cashy-Display and Cashy-Pos need to be paired.

Bucharest, October 6 2004 – Recently, the International Symposium "The Implementation of the European Environment Directives – problems and solutions" took place in Bucharest, attended by several personalities in the field, representatives of foreign and local companies and central and local administration (Governmental, city halls, The National Environment Agency, The National Company "Apele Romane").
SIVECO Romania presented the Management Information System – SIVECO Business Analyzer, a powerful instrument for controlling the water's quality parameters and solution for monitoring the compliance with the European water norms.
SIVECO Business Analyzer is a controlling and analysis instrument, which acts like an integrator for the available data and turns them into useful information, generating multidimensional analysis indexes. It also introduces a management style based on interpreting the data and decision-making process through rational models, based on facts and demonstrations.
Using the "what if" scenarios, SIVECO Business Analyzer offers the possibility to modify the initial parameters of an index, to see how that index vary according to the changes.
SIVECO Business Analyzer offers managers information regarding the market's trends, in order to plan their policy, supports the decision-making process, the monitoring, controlling and forecast processes, and provides support for adopting cost-controlling strategies and identify new revenues streams.
Major advantages are the analysis based on data from any information systems; in other words, the information cumulated in time, previous calculations are stored and used, regardless to the technology.
By using SIVECO Business Analyzer, the users benefit from the following capabilities:
- Graphic or table representations of data; the user can choose the form of visualization, considering the advantages (the graphic form is easier to read, explore and analyze, and the table form is more accurate);
- The possibility to define an index based on data from a relational environment or as fix or variable format text files;
- Real-time data – the date is organized in subsets according to the filtering criteria, specified by dynamic and flexible interrogations of the databases;
- The selection of the data for analysis and synthesis, in a graphic, user-friendly form;
- Setting the relations types between the information and the presentation forms;
- Complex analysis of the activity, at company level as well as at any administrative division;
- "What if" scenarios, simulations and forecasts for economic and financial indexes, providing an accurate information for managerial decisions on short and medium terms, as well as setting the policy and strategy on long term.
SIVECO Business Analyzer is implemented or in process of implementations at organizations with large volume of data and business processes, with national implications, such as: Holcim, Aerostar, MEVA Drobeta Turnu Severin.

A "size leak" was, according to the Eleventh Doctor, when a dying TARDIS' "bigger on the inside" leaked to the outside due to a breakdown of the dimension dams. This happened to his TARDIS in an alternate timeline where he died during the Siege of Trenzalore. (TV: The Name of the Doctor)
When meeting his successor, the First Doctor commented that their TARDIS had increased in size. The Twelfth Doctor justified that it was to be expected, given it has been "tucking [its] tummy in" for over 1,500 years. (TV: Twice Upon a Time)
A size leak would ultimately lead to a TARDIS "blooming like a flower" as it died, spilling out every single room from inside of it. If this happened on a planet, it would be catastrophic as all the rooms would spill out and potentially destroy everything. To prevent this, a Time Lord would often send the dying TARDIS to the heart of a star, so it could die harmlessly. (COMIC: Playing House)

With less than a week to go before NFL teams have to make final preseason cuts, Michael Sam, the NFL's first openly gay player, is fighting for a spot on the St. Louis Rams roster.
But forget about his performance on the field, ESPN SportsCenter seems more concerned with how Sam is performing off the field. ESPN's Josina Anderson gives us an in-depth report on how Sam is "fitting in" with the other players.
"Another Rams defensive player told me that "Sam is respecting our space" and that, from his perspective, he seems to think that Michael Sam is waiting to kind of take a shower, as not to make his teammates feel uncomfortable."
Anderson goes on to tell us that she asked defensive tackle Kendall Langford and linebacker Alec Ogletree about Sam's showering schedule, and they told her that they weren't tracking it.
So there you go, breaking news, we now know Sam's showering habits.
Let's just say the segment didn't go over well with Rams defensive end Chris Long, who tweeted:
"Dear ESPN, Everyone but you is over it."
And I have to say Long's tweet scored major points in my book. As a journalist, and former sports reporter, I cannot believe that Sam's showering habits would even be a story. Asking players about this is way out-of-bounds! To me it seems as though they're trying to create unnecessary drama off the field, and it's disrespectful.
Yes Sam is gay. But the only thing reporters should be concerned about are the men Sam is tackling on the field.
I call a personal foul against ESPN. Keep your head in the game, and not the shower.
And that's today's helping of The Online Dish with Maggie.

Two-stroke sportbikes of the late 1980s and early 1990s followed a very similar format: aluminum beam frame, full fairing, racy ergonomics, and a small two-stroke powerplants packing cutting-edge technology and serious power per cubic inch. But the formula wasn't really the result of a lack of imagination, it was convergent evolution: the class was ruthlessly competitive, and every component of bikes like the Suzuki RGV250Γ was maximized for performance and minimal weight.
Early on, the quarter-liter two-stroke class saw a variety of configurations: longitudinal and transverse parallel-twins, v-twins… But as time went on, Honda, Yamaha, and Suzuki all moved to a v-twin. The original RG250 used a parallel-twin, but by the time of the RGV, the engine was a liquid-cooled, 90° two-stroke v-twin that displaced 249cc, along with a six-speed gearbox, a package that was also used to motivate Aprilia's RS250.
Naturally, all of the bikes in the class used some form of power valve to help increase the peaky little two-stroke's flexibility. In the case of the Suzuki, it was their SAPC or "Suzuki Advanced Power Control," an electronically-controlled power valve and ignition-timing system. An asymmetrical swingarm with a pronounced curve on the right side allowed for the bulging expansion chambers on that side, and the second generation VJ22 version of the RGV250 used 17″ wheels at both ends, meaning you should be able to find good, modern rubber to shoe your whippy little sportbike.
The SAPC graphics and bodywork are very 90s, but upper fairing on this example isn't stock: normally, the VJ22 has a large, trapezoidal unit in the center of the bike, as opposed to the more cat-eyed style, asymmetrical design seen here. It's probably meant to evoke an endurance-racing machine of the era, since they often swapped the stock twin-lamp setups for single lights.
From the original eBay listing: 1993 Suzuki RGV250 VJ22 for Sale
1993 Suzuki RGV250 custom with only 10,816 kilometers (6,720 miles). This RGV is gorgeous! Bike is in excellent condition with just a few scratches and blemishes you would expect to find on a used bike. There is a small rub mark on the left side frame down by the foot shift lever and scratches on the right side lower fairing towards the bottom. However there are no cracks in the fairings and no dents in the tank. Bike is really clean and has great curb appeal. All fairings are 100% genuine Suzuki factory OEM except for the custom upper cowling. I don't normally buy custom bikes but this one is special. The custom single headlight look with the wide front fairing looks awesome! The previous owner changed the rear sprocket 4 teeth down for a higher top speed and added a Sugaya full exhaust system for a few more ponies and awesome racing sound. Original OEM sprocket and OEM exhaust chambers and silencers come with the bike so you can go back to stock if you like. The color looks black indoors but the true color comes out when you take the bike out into the sunlight. It is actually blue metallic and the paint really comes alive outside in the sun. Pictures don't do it justice. Bike runs excellent and will arrive with new fluids. Bike comes with a Utah state title and is titled as a street bike for road use. $200 deposit due immediately after sale ends thru PayPal. Remaining balance due within 5 business days by bank wire, cash or check. Please text 801-358-6537 for more pictures or questions.
We've featured bikes from this seller's collection in the past and, as a group, they've been very nicely preserved examples of various rare Japanese sportbikes, and there's no reason to expect this would be an exception. Purists might give the aftermarket headlight setup and exhaust the side-eye, but they're pretty cool updates to what is, in most markets, a pretty commonly available machine. And the bike is priced well, with a $6,750 Buy It Now price!

text: Okay, I am going to come right and just say right now that I hate this poem and everything about it. I could easily do 350 words on my initial reaction to the poem because I have so many problems with it. It is without a doubt one of the most, if not the most, confusing poems I've ever read. Literally, I have read the poem like 4 times and the footnotes like 6 times and I still only understand the poem about as much as I understand girls. I don't. Also the poem is like 78 or 3 pages I can't remember but it's way too long! Like I told McGarry, this poem is probably super deep and meaningful in some hidden type of way and I'm just too stupid to understand it. Or maybe the poem just sucks all around. (In my opinion, don't take offense McGarry) Alright, I got that out of my system. Now I feel better. I have literally 1000 questions about this poem as well. Why? Why are you torturing us with this super confusing poem? Why do we have to do poetry in the first place? Why does the poem talk about bears and mermaids and all other kinds or random stuff? Why did you choose to write a poem that is impossible to decipher? I think this poem is about life. The beginning is some philosophical stuff that makes no sense. Then towards the middle it's talking about being on a stage. That stage is life…maybe? And you are performing. You are doing whatever you want with your life. And then BOOM, BEAR! The bear means death. Death is chasing you around and you are bound by fate to get tired and the bear will eventually catch up to you. Then the person in the poem is hoping to go to heaven and figure out the purpose behind everything and it turns out that heaven isn't real and he spends the rest of his time searching for an answer and the mermaids are singing, but none to him. Meaning that nobody will give him answers. Eventually he realizes that everything he has ever believed in, was a lie. The allusions like "Thoreau's quiet desperation" and "dynamo of light" are important because they add more meaning and depth to the poem. They also make it more philosophical which makes the poem harder to understand.

A man took his girlfriend's pit bull puppy for a walk Sunday, minutes before the Steeler's game was to begin. Unfortunately for the puppy this man,William Woodson, of Bridgeville, was a Steelers fan. The dog was "uncooperative" on this walk prompting the man to hurry things along by kicking it down the road. Dogs can pick up on people's moods pretty easily so it's no wonder the puppy didn't want to go on a walk with him. An upset Michael Vick* was reached for comment. He stated "The situation with the pit bull in Pennsylvania greatly troubles me. You're supposed to kill the dog after you fight them. That's the only way to get your money's worth."
*Michael Vick was not really reached for comment. That's a joke.

Allan Kaprow
John Gibson Gallery
Allan Kaprow's Days Off is a calendar of Happenings. Oddly, where LeWitt's gallery work is crucial and published work at best superfluous, Kaprow's case is just the opposite. The published work makes his John Gibson show redundant.
Days Off is like a movie of stills. Kaprow's fine eye and sense of pace allow him to be the director of ten consecutive "still-shorts," some hilarious, some disquieting. In this hybrid. medium, clearly two gifts count—skill at the individual isolated image, and skill at that image in time, as one of a series, as a moment. Kaprow has both.
His flair—or weakness, depending on one's point of view—for the collective prank should not prevent us from enjoying Kaprow's eye. Throughout the calendar, the image remains important. True, the images must be set in a verbal grid, but that grid can be kept to a minimum, something Kaprow does well. Right at the start of Runner,

Calling all child actors and parents! If you've been managing to stay busy with auditions but haven't been securing callbacks or bookings on Disney or Nickelodeon shows—or network sitcoms in general—you must be wondering what's going on.
"Why isn't my child landing that role he's perfect for?" and "How come she isn't getting callbacks or meetings with producers?" These are all perfectly fine reactions to not seeing progress or feeling stuck in place considering all the hard work that your child has been putting in. New headshots, the best classes, maybe even representation that's getting your child more meetings than others in their category...so why aren't they booking?
Well, there may be a few things that could help things around.
Energy, energy, energy!
I can't express enough how important bringing life and energy to roles is when we talk about network sitcoms, particularly Disney and Nickelodeon. One of the biggest problems that casting encounters when working with kids is that they just can't seem to draw the appropriate energy level out of them. They keep trying, over and over, and still the lines fall flat.
It's better to start bigger (while always grounded in reality, of course) and be pulled back than to never reach the level they need at all. However, one of the most important clarifications is that energy is wasted without intent. Many times, the instinct is just "MORE ENERGY" because that's what everybody tells your child to do. They can be as big and broad as they want, but unless they're playing the truth of the character and the intent properly, then it's all for nothing.
I've seen actors of all ages reading scenes that require specific character choices that have the right enthusiasm but lack direction. A lot of young actors play shy, anxious, angry, hilariously inept, cutesy, know-it-all and a million other characters the exact same way due to little understanding of what the jokes are and who the character is. Please make sure you and your child understand why something is funny so they can play the proper reactions before committing energy to it.
How to Manage Your Child Actor
Remember that casting isn't that scary.
Understandably, your child likely gets nervous for certain meetings. Maybe they've aced auditions with casting directors but can't seem to hit it out of the park the same way when the number of people in the room grows. Which is why it's important for you as a parent to not further intimidate your child regarding who's in the room, or even just because you're nervous.
Be careful what kind of energy you project; to kids, particularly those who have a flair for the theatrical, the number of people in the room isn't so scary until they start hearing "Well, so-and-so directed this, so you have to impress her!" Obviously, they should know the importance of large meetings, but don't freak them out! Just do the work with them, trust the process, and don't get starstruck. Everyone in screen tests, producer's, and director's sessions, even one-on-one castings, is rooting for your child to be the one they love. There's no reason to be scared!
Image is everything.
This isn't as jaded and superficial as it may sound, I promise. I'm not talking about having the trendiest haircut or the newest shoes or being the coolest kid at brunch. I'm talking about how you professionally present yourself in audition rooms, on social media, and even to strangers in the elevator on the way up to the audition.
Your attitude and your child's attitude are so important! If your child is sour going up to the office, bored in the waiting room, and brooding all the way through their slate, that needs to change immediately. You never know who's in the building or riding the elevator next to you. Beyond just being courteous and friendly to everyone at the audition, how your child presents themselves online is huge too!
All networks—but particularly networks like Disney and Nickelodeon—are very careful of who they sign since they're typically looking for young actors they can invest a lot of time and money into. Finding out that potential talent spends their time cursing and posting inappropriate pictures on their profiles is a great way for the network to lose faith in investing in you. This applies to you too, parents. Posting personal drama or pictures from set will red-flag you as a problem.
With this information, hopefully we can turn your pilot season around! Casting, agents, managers, and production all want you to succeed. Every room you go in, they want you to be the one they fall in love with so they can be the ones who found TV's next star.

Rotterdam is one of the largest cities in the Netherlands and is one of fascinating history, culture, art and entertainment. It is also the largest port in the world for the amount of shipping it deals with every year, surpassing even New York.
In beginning of May with my girlfriend we went to Athens, Greece, where spend our vacations. Only after coming back we found out, that during vacation travel to Greece, we haven't spoke about economic crisis. Only during guided tour to Meteora (Kalambaka, Greece) our guide aware us about "poor people with soft hands". But in Greece I noticed difference between "poor people": while in Greece they are trying to sell You some little things, in Latvia don't, just begging.
We decided to use that moment when the days of cheap airfares and go to Bremen to enjoy last autumn days.

Magic Comes to Trenton Grade School
By Joe Paone
TRENTON, N.J., 5/1/03 — Basketball legend Earvin "Magic" Johnson visited Trenton, N.J.'s L. M. Rivera School on May 1, serving as coach and mentor for the day. The special event was the grand prize in a national "One-on-One With Magic" promotion co-sponsored by Best Buy and Samsung's Four Seasons of Hope charity for children. The promotion raised $140,000 for the Magic Johnson Foundation, which assists community-based organizations with HIV/AIDS prevention and education initiatives.
Johnson, who lives with HIV, won several NBA titles with the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1980s before embarking on a successful career in inner-city business development. Addressing the school at a special assembly, he discussed the importance of performance, education and technology. Samsung's Four Seasons of Hope works year-round with sports legends Johnson, Arnold Palmer, Joe Torre and Boomer Esiason to raise money for children and families in need.

Bonnie Sofa by Blu Dot
We couldn't find any configurations! You can still explore and customize the Bonnie Sofa by Blu Dot.
Don't see a configuration you like? Customize your Bonnie Sofa by Blu Dot.
Bonnie Sofa
by Blu Dot
At A Glance:
The Bonnie Sofa is a slim, well-tailored sofa that turns into a sleek sectional when paired with the Clyde Sofa. Bonnie is armed and dangerously comfortable, and Clyde has no arms for extra-wide lounging. Each is available separately, but when these two get together they can really work a room.
The Bonnie Sofa is great if you aren't sure that you really want a sectional. You can always get the sofa by itself and see if it turns out to be enough; simply add Clyde if you need sectional seating. Bonnie's arms give it a space-defining presence.
When put together with the Clyde Sofa, Bonnie makes the larger half of a crisp-looking modern sectional. Alone, it's a smart, sleek sofa with a good amount of seat space.
- Overall dimensions: 29" h x 96" w x 31.5" d
- Seat height: 16.5"
- Seat depth: 23.5"
- Solid hardwood and plywood frame
- Powder coated steel base

The Shrine Show Pilgrimage Makes a Comeback
The Shrine Show Pilgrimage started as a street art movement in the late 1980s and gained momentum through the 1990s to become a destination art event. Now, a new group of artists are reviving the show with three destinations and some two dozen participants. The first reception is this Friday at the ART.i.factory inside Art.i.fact, from 5 -7 p.m.
On Saturday, Calliope Gallery in Madrid (2876 Highway 14) will host the second reception from 3 – 6 p.m. The third will be on Sunday at Hat Ranch Gallery on the Turquoise Trail from 2 – 5 p.m.
The original shrine show was launched by three women who sought gallery space to exhibit two-dimensional work inspired by local shrines. Shrine art was, and still is, influenced by Hispanic and American Indian cultures in the Southwest, which is rich with santos, roadside crosses (descansos) and garden shrines.
This original group of Northern New Mexico artists snowballed into a passel of 28 enthusiastic artists. Their work consisted of paintings, sculpture, mixed media, assemblage, photographs, videos, performance pieces and more. These personal expressions ranged from the sacred to the comical, and from the political to the spiritual.
This year's Shrine Show will feature a similar array of expressions, mediums, and forms. Among the participating artists are Barbara Harnack, Max Lehman, Bunny Tobias, Janet Stein Romero, and Art.i.fact's own Michael Gullberg. The show at the ART.i.factory runs through July 13.

NYC Off-Broadway Week is back from February 11 through March 24. Get your tickets now!
These popular shows have been running for a while for a reason—they're fantastic(k)!
Seeing the long-running percussion show STOMP is definitely one thing every resident and visitor to New York City should do. And now, after seeing the Off-Broadway performance a few weeks ago in its East Village home at the Orpheum Theater, I can finally check it off of my list.
When I see a Broadway musical, I normally end up with one or two songs stuck in my head for about a week after the show. These could be anything from lesser-known numbers to the hits we all know and love. This Sunday, Sept. 9th, I bet this will happen to you when you stop by Times Square for Broadway on Broadway—a free concert featuring musical numbers and appearances from current Broadway shows and a sneak peek at upcoming shows opening in the new season.

Cardinal Napier Calls for 'Black Thursdays'
Women and men are called to wear black every Thursday to create ongoing awareness about issues of gender justice, violence against women and "corrective" rape.
The Thursdays in Black (TinB) campaign is a project spearheaded by the KwaZulu-Natal Diakonia Council of Churches, and was launched in Durban in 2008 to tie in with the 16 Days of activism.
Cardinal Wilfrid Napier of Durban chairs the TinB campaign.
The Diakonia Council of Churches is an ecumenical agency which works with churches and church organisations in the pursuit of a more just society, an improved quality of life for the poor, as well as changes in attitudes and structures which perpetuate injustice.
Delegates at the KwaZulu-Natal Inter-Religious Council, who met at the Durban Jewish Centre for their AGM, all wore black in solidarity with the TinB campaign.
Diakonia executive director Nomabelu Mvambo-Dandala said that for her, every day is a day of activism against sexual and gender-based violence.
"The scourge of violence in our society has reached such levels that we cannot wait for only 16 days towards the end of the year to rediscover our conscience. We cannot put up with the abuse and rape of women, children, and the LGBTI community anymore," she said.
"Together as people of conscience, we can achieve victory," Ms Mvambo-Dandala added.
The Diakonia Council of Churches has specially-made buttons and wristbands to conscientise people about the issues and to create awareness of the campaign. The buttons can be picked from its office in Durban's Diakonia Avenue.
