Introducing Our Class of 2018 Models: Megan
Posted on 06/01/2017
Megan attends Indian River High School and spends part of her day at BOCES. She is also in the school orchestra- she plays the violin. Megan loves animals, and even dog-sits once in a while; she would like to be a vet tech when she grows up. She may come across a little reserved at first, but Megan is a very warm, compassionate person and is a joy to be around. Her favorite candy is Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
Megan likes
the smell of rain,
the touch of sand,
the taste of coffee,
the sight of sunsets,
the sound of waves,
and the feeling of fur.

Phil: "….we need to stay here and dream up some way of getting people into this place."
Bob: "What do you suggest?"
Phil: "I don't know….should be something unusual, some kind of a novelty…."
Bob: "Tell me, brainstorm, what do you think would be a novelty up here in Vermont?"
Phil: "Who knows, maybe we can dig up a Democrat!"
Bob: "They'd stone him!" (as they all chuckle and laugh).

What would Paris serve up, this 9th trip to our beloved city? But only seven days to explore and investigate. I wanted more but Virginia had Scandinavia in mind. Virginia prevailed.
I recently read this quote from Comte de Rambuteau, Haussmann's predecessor as Prefect of Paris in the mid-19th century:
Parisians are like children; one constantly has to fill their imagination, and if one cannot give them a victory in battle every month or a new constitution every year, then one has to offer them daily some new building sites to visit, projects that serve to beautify the city.
So what is truly new in Paris in the European summer of 2016? Fondation Louis Vuitton in the Bois de Boulogne doesn't qualify, that's old news, opened 18 months ago. And the Picasso and Rodin museums, both recently reopened after years of renovation, sort of sneak in under a liberal interpretation of new.
There definitely is the current Palais Galliera exhibition Anatomie d'une Collection (till October 23 2016). Be generous and acknowledge it's new even though it's actually a retrospective from its archives. The central thesis of this exhibition is that there is no more compelling, more intimate way to demonstrate an epoch, a personality, a culture, a history than to display clothes to tell the story. Is that really Bonaparte's waistcoat or Marie-Antoinette's corset and where and when would they have worn them? How cute the Dauphin would have looked in his frilly chemise and what an impression Josephine would have made in her resplendent gown. No wonder Audrey Hepburn was a French favourite, elegance-defined in those cute hats and Givenchy dresses. Yes Gala Dali would have looked ridiculous in that shoe-hat but that's the price you pay for marrying a surrealist. And, finally, Brigitte Bardot's swimsuit is hot even without Brigitte in it.
On our way home we had the opportunity to extend both our French Connection and our fashion-odyssey by visiting DC, as the Washingtonians call it. What's French about Washington you ask? Well its street-plan was, after all, designed by Pierre Charles L'Enfant. Pierre (later Peter) was born in Paris in in 1754 and was recruited to join the American forces in the War of Independence. After the American victory in the war, in which he fought in the front line and then joined George Washington's personal staff at Valley Forge, L'Enfant established a successful civil engineering firm in New York city, leading to his appointment by Washington to devise the city plan for the new Capital.
But I digress from the theme of fashion and clothing…because at the National Museum of American History there was more famous clobber including George Washington's military uniform, a Frank Sinatra outfit including trench coat and homburg hat, a James Brown (The Godfather of Soul) outfit and Michelle Obama's ball-gown for the Inauguration Ball.
Then we saw something unexpected, something truly special. In amongst the manifold treasures of the museum is President Abraham Lincoln's top hat. Not any old part of his wardrobe, indeed not even any old top hat, but the one he wore on the night of his assassination! Now, there have been many astonishing artefacts and historical objects in our travels over the years… Egyptian mummies of several thousand years in age, the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo, the Rosetta Stone, the cherry pip with 185 carved faces on it in Dresden's Green Vault, the Apollo 11 capsule, the original Wright Flyer…but is there anything quite like this in terms of historical significance, given Lincoln's place in shaping the Western world as we now know it? The plaque in front of the hat says that is "one of the Smithsonian Institution's most treasured icons".
Rightly so.

Fundraisers from Crazy Hats will be out in force over the next four weeks to raise money and awareness during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The Wellingborough-based charity has a busy calendar coming up, starting at the Swansgate Shopping Centre in Wellingborough tomorrow (Friday).
This year is the charity's 15th anniversary and it will be launching its new pin badge at tomorrow's event.
The charity will also have a selection of merchandise, including t-shirts, new packs of Christmas cards, pink merchandise and a pink tombola with a range of prizes.
In 2015, the Crazy Hats team raised more than £3,340 at the Swansgate thanks to the generosity of shoppers.
Glennis Hooper, executive fundraiser and founder of Crazy Hats, said: "The team from the Crazy Hats breast cancer charity are really looking forward to being back at Swansgate this week, to launch our brand new pin badge to celebrate our 15th anniversary.
"With Breast Cancer Awareness Month starting on October 1, we will also be on hand to talk to people who have concerns or who simply want to talk.
"Proceeds of the day will be used to boost our funds in working towards providing a designated breast cancer support centre for Northamptonshire – a facility that is desperately needed.
"We look forward to seeing everyone, thanking them in anticipation for supporting Crazy Hats."
Lindsay Tickner, the Swansgate's centre manager, said: "We are thrilled to welcome Crazy Hats to Swansgate again this Autumn and support them as Breast Cancer Awareness Month arrives.
"Their hard work and support is vital within our local community, and the charity is always fantastically welcomed by our shoppers."
As well as visiting the Swansgate in Wellingborough, the Crazy Hats team will be at the Newlands Shopping Centre in Kettering on Saturday, October 8, Weston Favell Shopping Centre in Northampton on Saturday, October 15, and Corby town centre on Saturday, October 22.
Founded in 2001, Crazy Hats has been raising money and supporting those affected by breast cancer in the county for 15 years, with the fundraising total now standing at more than £2 million.
The money goes towards improving breast cancer care for patients at both Kettering and Northampton general hospitals.

It's funny how art can mirror life.
I ended up in a MN Fringe Festival play this year. It's called De-Taming the Shrew. I haven't been in a play for seven years – for the last one, I got the choice role of Jane in Fallen Angels, a Noel Coward comedy of manners. I was the only one who auditioned for my role.
This time, an acquaintance had posted "Looking for a 40 year old woman to help with a play" –(not an exact quote) – – I showed up, and I was in. Little did I know that I was randomly volunteering for a show that I would relate to so well.
The stories intertwining through this one hour piece are of spiritual beings, middle aged women, and young women just starting out. The cast is all women, although we have some male characters. For a couple minutes, I get to play a 20 something douchey guy who takes his wife for granted soon after saying I Do. I also get to be a middle aged woman struggling with having had a bankruptcy (11 years ago, in my case) and foreclosure (next month, if the short sale falls through – cross your fingers). I also get to be a spiritual being who sings about how there's hope, and that you must stand up for your rights and show the world your light.
I am in awe of the other women on stage – not just the characters, but the actors. One part of the play, an original song by Kimberly Michaels, made me cry during dress rehearsal last night. Julie Rappaport, our writer/producer/actor, seems to be a force of nature. All of the women involved are strong, intelligent and dedicated. This play is alive with vignettes and interconnected characters and scenes, and there are lots of costume changes and movement. We wouldn't be able to do it if every single person wasn't pulling her weight.
Now, it's not that there aren't any men involved in the production – our wonderful, insightful director, Todd Bruse, is there ushering us through this process, as well as our stage manager, the young, bright Maxwell Mars. (He wants to be a theater arts teacher. I definitely see this happening.) Just as I have tried to articulate pretty much since declaring that my minor in college was Women's Studies, it's nothing against men and working with men, but there is something powerful and necessary about women working together and seeing what they can do.
I think the most powerful message that I have received from Julie and the play is that I have something to contribute. This is definitely true on stage – I play several different characters and I feel my personal self-confidence rising as they develop. But I also feel it in my own life. Through our fundraisers, I have met another woman who is a novelist, a couple of women artists, and a woman who runs her own production company. It seems like everywhere I turn there are strong, intelligent women doin' their thing. And that makes me want to do my thing, which right now is acting, but shortly my thing(s) will be running my Kickstarter campaign to publish my novel and going back to work as a high school English teacher.
Just like our main character, Grace, I don't know exactly what the future holds for me, but I'm going to do my best to experience life fully. To do that, I will continue to draw strength from the other women in my life, hopefully strengthening them as well. And that brings me back to art mirroring life, because that's the show in a nutshell. Women helping each other to find their own inner strength, and encouraging each other to use our strengths.
I'm thankful to be in this play, so grateful, I'm ready for it, and I'm loving it.

Reasons to be cheerful in 2011? Let's see.
It was a year when eyes opened a bit wider, when images from Earth and space and the enigmatic microverse of quantum physics expanded our field of vision – and the spread of new means of communication made those images more accessible and shareable than ever before.
David Attenborough showed us what life is like under the surface of the Arctic's frozen sea. In a different way, images from Egypt and Libya showed us the previously hidden and denied passions of entire peoples. Meanwhile from Cern came visualisations of the elusive and mighty Higgs boson.
The silly slurs on Frozen Planet for filming polar bear cubs in a zoo drew attention to how extreme our visual information now is. This detail simply could not have been filmed in the wild, but so many marvels were captured that people were actually surprised by the so-called "faking". That's what the BBC gets for raising expectations. Its polar documentary was full of images such as wolves hunting, seen from above, that were never possible in the past. Similarly, pictures from the frontier of science, showing such wonders as Earth-like planets, go beyond previous astronomy and make outer space seem close.
This sense of new images hitting our eyes from everywhere is one of the most remarkable aspects of 2011. I know it has nothing to do with art as such. Yet art created one or two remarkable images of its own. In particular, Urs Fischer's melting candle sculptures moved me deeply and are themselves images of science – instances of entropy.
Uh-oh, entropy – the universe running down. The news in 2011 was sometimes exhilarating but mostly terrifying. In the media that circulate such news faster than ever before, the content was often disturbing. But the images that showed us the ever-changing world, and the ways they reached us, were eye-popping. So a reason to be cheerful is that new ways of seeing are being born in our time.

Call me a sissy but, all other things being equal, I reckon I'd plump for the cleaner's job every time — though I count my blessings that I've been able to avoid manual labour since I worked as a general dogsbody in a French hotel during my gap year 40 years ago.
It's just that I've never been much of a one for heavy lifting (though I grant you that the wheelie bin and the high-tech dustcart have greatly eased the strain on the dustman's back).
Much better to be pottering around indoors with a duster and mop than braving the elements to empty the bins...
And faced with the choice on a wintry morning, I'd much sooner be pottering around indoors with my duster and mop than braving the elements to empty the bins. Yes, not very manly, I know.
But now I come to a more philosophical question — and after Wednesday's equal pay ruling in the Supreme Court, it is one that will be exercising battalions of lawyers for the foreseeable future: leaving personal preferences aside, which of these two jobs has more intrinsic 'worth'?
A tricky one, that. True, there are some superficial similarities between the two. Neither requires a very high degree of skill, while both involve physical effort and unsociable working hours.
Dustman and cleaner play a valuable role in maintaining hygiene, and each is likely to come across unpleasant smells in the course of a working day.
The short straw: Who should we value more, the dustman or the school cleaner?
But let's be sensible. In other ways, these are very different kinds of job, appealing to very different sorts of people. If I really had to pick which made the greater contribution to human welfare, I suppose I'd award the trophy to the dustman, on points.
After all, the consequences for public health would probably be more serious if he, rather than the school cleaner, failed to turn up for work; while the smells from which he protects us are, on balance, more unpleasant.
But as I say, comparing like with unlike is a very silly game, and it becomes even sillier when we try to weigh up the relative worth of other jobs.
Which should we value more: the dustman or the school cook? The street cleaner or the washer-up? The care worker or the town hall boilerman?

The receptionist or the lad who repairs the photocopier?
Yet thanks to the Supreme Court's ruling, such are the questions — and countless others just as daft — over which lawyers will be arguing to their hearts' and wallets' content from now until the crack of doom (which, after this judgment, may come sooner rather than later).
As I understand it, the court didn't have to trouble itself this week with comparisons between chalk and cheese jobs.
All that the judges were asked to decide was whether 174 women, formerly employed by Birmingham City Council as cooks, cleaners and care workers, should be allowed to have their claim for equal pay compensation heard in the civil courts. Until now, such cases have generally been dealt with by employment tribunals.
The difference is crucial, since a claim to a tribunal has to be lodged within six months, while the civil courts give plaintiffs six years in which to set their cases rolling.
With what seems to me like supreme irresponsibility, the court came down on the side of the women, who left their jobs before 2008.
This gives them the right to press on with their claim that they should have been treated in the same way as dustmen and street cleaners, who had their salaries topped up by bonuses.
The result is that cash-strapped Birmingham Council, which only this week warned of massive job cuts as it seeks savings of £600 million by 2017, faces an initial bill of about £2.2 million to settle the women's claims.
Then there will be another one — for some £10 million — to pay off the 1,000 other claimants who have contacted solicitors since the case began.
As sure as night follows day, this victory for feminism will cost many more jobs in the Midlands — and, as true believers in the cause never tire of telling us, it is always women who suffer first when the axe falls.
But the ramifications of the ruling spread far beyond Birmingham, to town halls, hospitals and businesses large and small across the country.
'Idiotic': Harriet Harman's Equality Act of 2010
Lawyers everywhere will be rubbing their hands with glee over the prospect of another bonanza, while our email inboxes will soon be filling up with spam to add to all those exhortations to sue our banks for mis-selling insurance: '££££!!! Have you been the victim of pay discrimination over the past six years??? You could be due for a late payday worth £££thousands!'
Meanwhile, business bosses struggling to take advantage of the economy's return to growth are faced with the ruinous, time-wasting task of digging out their files from 2006 as they await the flood of claims.
I know that in my trade we're sometimes too quick to attack judges when the blame often belongs to the stupid legislation they are paid to interpret. And it's true that laws don't come much more idiotic and damaging than Harriet Harman's Equality Act of 2010, which absorbed and superseded the Equal Pay Act, passed 40 years ago.
But in this case, there was clearly room for the court to exercise wisdom and retain the six-month time limit on lodging claims.
Indeed, two of the five judges disagreed with the majority decision, with
Lord Sumption making the commonsense observation that it is simply wrong to let claims from long ago come to court at a time when employers are facing terrible economic hardship.
He had a good point, too, when he added: 'The characteristics of a job are liable to change radically, especially at a time of economic upheaval, industrial rationalisation or technological advance.'
Who is to say that the 174 aggrieved women of Birmingham were denied bonuses because they were women and not simply because they were doing different kinds of work from the men who were paid them?
In the saner days before equality legislation, of course, there was no need to philosophise over which jobs done mainly by men were equivalent to different ones done mainly by women.
It was the market that made the decision and a job's intrinsic worth was the amount people were prepared to accept for it.
If councils were short of dustmen, they had to stump up more money for the job, while if there were plenty of applicants to be cleaners, there was no need to offer them more. Simple as that.
I'm not denying for one moment that there's a pay gap between men and women — or, indeed, that it would be wrong to pay identically qualified people who do identical jobs, side by side on a production line, differently according to their sex.
'In the fast-growing economy of India no one agonises about how many women are in the boardroom'
But just like the dustmen, those 174 women signed employment contracts knowing how much they would be paid, and the council fixed its budgets accordingly.
If I suggested, in the name of equality, that the dustmen should return six years' worth of bonuses, you'd quite rightly think I'd gone barking mad. But would this really be any more insane than ordering taxpayers and businesses to award retrospective pay rises to countless women who feel they've been hard done by?
Of one thing I'm absolutely sure: in the fast-growing economies of China, India and Brazil, no one is agonising about how many women are in the boardroom or asking lawyers to demand back-dated pay rises.
Everyone is beavering away, grabbing contracts and jobs that might otherwise have gone to British men and women fast drowning in a sea of bureaucracy.
If Coalition ministers were serious about our crying need for growth, they would suspend the Equality Act for at least the duration of our troubles.
But that would require a degree of determination and common sense that, alas, seems far beyond them.

In support of Andrew's training objectives, and to learn more about the performance of NovAtel's products in an unusual environment, we began investigating what equipment we could realistically deploy on a human body in a wingsuit scenario. Given the obvious restrictions of the tight-fitting wingsuit, we concluded that the OEM615's smaller size and power consumption were ideal for this man-mounted application - while still allowing the use of dual-frequency GPS+GLONASS ALIGN at 20Hz with up to 50 Hz raw measurement logging.
To support post-processing analysis we also set up a SMART-MR10™ receiver in the drop zone and collected static carrier phase and pseudorange data for the entire day of test (approx 12 hours). While it is not typically meant to serve as a precise base station, the SMART-MR10 is equipped with the same Pinwheel® Antenna technology as NovAtel's survey-grade GPS-700 series of antennas, and includes an integral OEMV-3G receiver that is commonly used in surveying equipment. The integrated package of the SMART-MR10 made for a simpler setup and still provided excellent performance.

Good morning, Rebels, and welcome back to my life.
The Hobby Lobby decision. You've heard a lot about it on the Internet. What is it?
The Problem with Obamacare and Hobby Lobby
The Affordable Health Care Act says companies must provide their employees health insurance that includes certain contraceptives for women.
Hobby Lobby is owned by a group of Christians, who said that paying for these types of contraception violates their religious beliefs.
First of all, they don't pay for contraception, they pay the insurance company premiums and the insurance company pays for contraception, but whatever. I'll save argument dissection for later.
The case made it to the supreme court, who ruled that no, the ACA could not force Hobby Lobby to provide these types of contraception.
I'll start with a mitigating circumstance. Hobby Lobby does still provide 16 types of contraceptives, including birth control pills, implantable rods and female sterilization surgery.
What they don't provide are so-called "morning after" pills and IUDs, the reason being that they think these contraceptives kill babies because life begins at fertilization.
Just to clarify: that's THEIR belief. Does not necessarily reflect mine.
The Problem with the Supreme Court Decision
Now let's start dissecting the problems.
SCOTUS ruled Hobby Lobby couldn't be forced to provide these contraceptives as they violated "closely held" religious beliefs on the part of the corporation.
"Closely held" beliefs? Hobby Lobby invests in contraception companies for its retirement plan and those companies provide these contraceptives. So clearly they can't have THAT big a problem with it.
So they're totally fine with making money off these contraceptives, just as long as nobody who works for the company is having them.
But pay attention to that phrase: "closely held" religious beliefs on the part of the corporation.
On the part of the corporation.
On the part of the corporation.
I'm sorry, the corporation doesn't hold religious beliefs. It doesn't. This is symptomatic of Citizen's United, I know, but it's still BS.
Those religous beliefs belong to the CEO and executives of Hobby Lobby, and THEY wouldn't be the ones spending money on the contraceptives—the corporation would.
See, the way a company works is the employees work and bring in money, and then the financial department distributes that money to payroll and overhead, such as insurance.
It's tempting to think simplistically and say that Hobby Lobby just wants its employees to pay for these contraceptives with their own money, but the money going into their health insurance IS their own money. It's part of the compensation they agreed to when they signed up for the company and the company doesn't get to tell them how to spend their paycheck, does it?
The Biggest Problem of the Hobby Lobby Case
That brings us to maybe the most troubling part of the SCOTUS decision.
Lots of people have been up in arms about what this could mean in the future, that Christian Science CEOs could forbid their employees from blood transfusions or…any medical care, really.
Or that Muslim CEOs could forbid their employees to be swabbed with alcohol before an injection or procedure, which is definitely a stretch, but you see where we're going with this.
But while everyone's focused on how that COULD happen in the future, I'm more disturbed that it DIDN'T happen now.
Because when government passes laws concerning religion, such as tax exemption or religious displays in schools, they've tended to use a one-size fits all approach. In other words, every religion follows the same general rules.
That hasn't happened here. What's happened is that the Supreme Court has said that only Christian CEOs have the right to forbid their employees from taking advantage of a health insurance feature that those CEOs disagree with.
Yes, I'm worried about the fact that in the future all CEOs could control their employees' lives based on religion, but I'm more worried about the fact that the Supreme Court just told us that ONLY Christian CEOs can do that. For now.
Sorry for a depressing post, Rebels. Tomorrow I want to talk about something happy, so why don't you give me some ideas in the comments.
I'll see you tomorrow. Bye.

We said goodbye to our hosts
No shortage of steep hills here, but every slope is farmed. The ratio of paddie to terrace is very small on this slope, but the population is growing and so more and more terraces are being cut.
And a great picture of our guide.
Nhu was tired, and we were eager to check into our room. We said goodbye and tipped her well. she had worked hard for it - she said only 3 or 4 other parties each year want to do the amount of walking and elevation change we asked for.
Climbing 5 flights of stairs to our room was worth it. We had the best room in the hotel, on the left side of the top floor.
For a brief moment, we even saw the peak of Mount Fanispan, Vietnam's highest peak, poking through the clouds. That made the trip to Sapa worthwhile by itself.
After we showered, sent our shoes out for cleaning, and relaxed on the balcony for a bit, we grabbed some dinner consisting of the ubiquitous pumpkin soup,
and hot plate chicken for Drew and hot plate deer for me. The hot plate is basically like our fajitas back home, which makes for a sizzling hot meal until the last bite. We needed it to keep warm, as it was chilly in the restaurant, even with a pot of hot coals set beside our table. The deer was pretty similar to slightly tough beef -less gamey than venison back home.
Our massage was scheduled for 7:30. It included a cool foot bath (warm would have been nice) and a private room for the both of us. After an awkward moment when the therapists indicated for us to undress and get on the tables while they stood there, we settled in for a Swedish massage. The massage therapists were Thai, a minority group descended from southern China who share similar culture and language as modern Thais from Thailand. It was really lovely to listen to their language again after Vietnamese for a week. Thai and even H'mong are much easier on the ears than Vietnamese.
Somewhat invigorated by our massage, we took a quick stroll through the market. At every step we were solicited to buy some handicraft. The Red Dzao women seemed to be the most persistent, and got us in the end.
We needed to save some money for tomorrow's trip to the Bac Ha market though.
All in all, I think the home stay and trekking away from the tourist areas was the coolest thing we have done inVietnam. Although it was hard for me to get a feeling for the different cultures of the 4 or 5 tribes we encountered, we learned a lot about the H'mong culture and rural way of life from Nhu. The home stay was much more comfortable than I expected, and the food during the entire trip was great. I am really glad we made the journey to Sapa.

when did i become a girl who watches sitcoms? and why are all the genre shows falling down my list? i find this shift mildly alarming. are the better writers doing sitcoms now? or am i just getting old? my grandparents LOVED sitcoms. oh dear.
can someone explain the accents on chicago fire to me and tell me who thinks air brushing lucy lui's freckles out is a good idea?
i did see our friends' house on chicago fire. i watched about ten minutes, couldn't take anymore and fast forwarded to the last three minutes of the show to see one of the hot firemen climbing the stairs to their porch, where i drank bourbon this summer. that was fun. the rest of the show sucks.
the neighbors continues to surprise me. i really kind of love it. same with go on but i'm realizing as i type that it wasn't on this week. was that because of the town hall or did it already get cancelled already? that would bum me out. its really good.
anything not on my lists that i should give a shot?

LA Vegan
05/03/2010 4 Comments
I've been eating here for a considerable amount of time, and after today's meal, I absolutely had to share my thoughts with teh interwebs.
To begin, its a small unassuming dime a dozen vegan thai restaurant. Next to a pet shop, its easy
to miss – but once you've eaten here you'll see why its become an obsession. There are a number of dishes I'd consider worth trying, but the most famous is the orange chicken.
Pictured on the right, the batter is just phenomenal. I shit you not – first time I tried this, I freaked out thinking I'd accidentally eaten regular chicken. Typical soy chicken texture is shite – and the same is true here, except in the orange chicken. It has to be the way they fry it, but its quite deceptive.
The lunch special comes with a salad, brown rice (FUCK YEA) and these awesome little dough pockets of potato and honey.
Other recommended items include the Green Curry, their corn pancake appetizer, dumplings, and, most recently, their PHO!
You heard (or…err…read. Since I'm not actually speaking to you…) me right – PHO!
I'd all but given up hope since going vegetarian that I'd ever taste the wonder of Pho, since it is, by nature, a dish consisting of meat broth and meat chunks. I didn't truly believe it could be made vegetarian and still be considered Pho, but they fucking did it. And goddamn well.
Admittedly its a simple dish – a spicy broth with Soy Chicken, rice noodles and onion. You get your side dish of sprouts, chile's, thai basil and lime, and some assorted sauces, usually Hoisin and Sriracha – all told, a mythical experience. Whether your hungover or just sick, this is the magic juice to burn out what ails you.
You can see just how good it is since I couldn't wait to take the pic til I was nearly through the meal!
The staffs nice, the locations convenient, delivery is free, the food is good.
Pay attention to the daily specials – its quite evident they care about their food here.

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has clarified that the company will continue signing exclusivity deals with developers and publishers regardless of whether or not they have previous agreements with Steam.
In a tweet earlier this week, Sweeney responded to a question regarding the game Observation, which previously had a Steam store page but recently signed a deal with Epic for one-year exclusivity on the storefront.
"We've had a lot of discussions about this since GDC," Sweeney said. "Epic is open to continuing to sign funding / exclusivity deals with willing developers and publishers regardless of their previous plans or announcements around Steam."
As the thread continued, some replies brought up a talk at GDC where Epic Games store head Steve Allison said the company didn't want a repeat of what happened with Metro Exodus, where the game had already been taking pre-orders on Steam before it was announced as an Epic exclusive.
"This prompted further discussions at Epic," Sweeney replied, "leading to the realization that these calls must be up to developers and publishers, and Epic wouldn't tell them 'no' on account of existing statements made about Steam."

This is a two-finger tap that's the same as a right click on a mouse which will open up an options menu. That's what you saw...the options menu. From that you selected OPEN FOLDER and it did.sandylu wrote:thanks, will give that a try. I have gotten this much done:
I tap to click the folder, then secondary click it in the low right hand corner and a drop down window comes and give me choices. I can click open and it does. Is this how this computer should do it? I am so used to just clicking on the folder and it opens up.
I think the problem was the speed setting for the double tap.

Here are some pics of the Scooter I purchased for $2700 in late October
SR50 Side
SR50 Front
SR50 Back
SR50 Dash
Performance Parts Added:
70cc Malossi MHR kit
Dell'Orto Carb (with extra jets)
UK intake rubber
Sport Cee Exhaust
DR race clutch (with extra springs)
Malossi front variator (with extra rollers)
Malossi rear torque driver
DR 18% gear-up kit
Kevlar Belt
Red Rear Main Spring (also have white and yellow)
Performance Improvements:
Before any mods, this scooter would go 42-45mph
on the flat and 50-51mph max downhill. After 841 miles I decided
to hop it up and added all of the above performance parts. I purchased
all these parts from Taffspeed Racing (see link below) and spent right
at $1100 for them. With these parts, the scooter accelerated at least
twice as fast and pulls hard through 60mph. Top speed so far has
been 71mph with a slight downhill (and tucked down). It will hold
60mph with no wind sitting upright. The scoot is only slightly over
200lbs so it is very easy to handle. The low profile tires and fantastic
suspension help make this scoot a blast to ride. If you are interested
in Aprilia scooters join the egroup below. I started this group when
I purchased this scoot, and we have over 80 members now!!! There
are some REAL die-hard enthusiasts in the group and are very helpful with
eGroup dedicated
to Aprilia Scooters that I started in October of 2000

More to come.....

text: Nepalese boys swim in a river as they beat the summer heat in Kathmandu [Prakash Mathema/AFP] As Nepal's temperatures rise ahead of the southwest monsoon rains, this year brings more than the usual trials. A year ago, Nepal was reshaped by two violent earthquakes. The obvious results of destruction have been well documented. Less obvious is the disruption to natural water supply. The earthquake has disrupted aquifers, making this dry season's water scarcity much more acute. Santosh Nepal, a water expert at the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development, explains: "During the earthquake, the displacement of land surface also disturbs the groundwater storage." Land gets compressed in some places, producing more spring water, whereas it expands in other areas resulting in less spring water. Similarly, the interconnected water pathways below the surface get disrupted and water changes course. In those places, where the journey to fetch water has increased by hours, this pre-monsoon heat is dangerously debilitating. Already temperatures are above average and higher than this time last year. Kathmandu is registering 33C by day, five degrees above normal and only two below the April record. Siddarthapagar and Nepalgunj are both above 41C daily. This too is five degrees above the average for April. India's heatwave is also earlier and fiercer than last year's and there is no reason to suppose that temperatures in either India or Nepal will reliably fall back to average. The burst of the monsoon rain could well be two months away for Nepal and before the main rains, there will be thunderstorms. These will top up some aquifers, even though they may now serve different springs. SOURCE: Al Jazeera Weather Environment Water Nepal Asia

Andrew In Hiding As MAFS Fans Turn On Him
He's gone from beloved fireman to Married At First Sight's latest villain. Andrew Jones has reportedly gone into hiding since his vicious comments about reality TV partner Cheryl were aired this week.
According to reports the 38-year-old deleted his Instagram account on Tuesday night, following the backlash from viewers and recently told NW Magazine that he hasn't "left the house."
However, his absence from social media was short lived. He reloaded his account the next day, but made the profile private. Andrew has received a barrage of backlash after unleashing on his 'partner' Cheryl during Sunday night's 'boy's night.'
Among many things, Andrew insulted his 25-year-old TV partner's intelligence, pretended to grope her breasts and allegedly suggested he should have a threesome with Cheryl and his original MASF wife.
When confronted by the 25-year-old, the fireman refused to admit any wrongdoing telling Cheryl she was "full of sh**." Farmer Sean and sweetheart Simon sprung to her defence confirming the comments were made. We love those two!
