Riley's FarmRiley's Farm... an unforgettable experience. In school, we were learning about the Revolutionary War and got to experience what it felt like- even the food matched the rations of the soldiers.
Perhaps the best part was reenacting the war itself, but that's just my opinion.

|Tech Tent, the Camp
|The Tech Tent.
|10 Days After Landing
Once both Cam and Grey have left med bay, Morgan glances at the filthy rag in his hand that was once a shirt and tosses it back into the corner. Maybe once he can wash it he'll wear it again though there's not much to be done for the holes. Heading out of the ship, he checks to make sure someone is boiling the willow bark and asks them to make sure it gets taken up to Cole as soon as it's cool enough to handle. And then he goes to make a call.
He needs to wait till the communicator is free which gives him plenty of time to second guess himself. But too many things are on his mind to not try to get some answers. Once the tent is clear, he takes a seat, not worrying about his lack of a shirt or that his steal healing arrow wound is visible. In fact, it might be deliberate. "Morgan Blackwood." he tells whoever's on the other end. "I want to talk to Jaha."
The operator at the monitor looks a bit suspiciously at Morgan, but then nods. He disappears from sight, and it takes a good five minutes of waiting before Thelonius Jaha comes into view, sliding into the chair before the monitor and microphone. His arms fold in front of him, and he nods. "Mr. Blackwood… good to see you." He probably means that literally, as their last conversation was completely audio.
"I talked to Cam." Morgan says without preamble. "He told me about your talk and your plans to disband the Council. He might even be getting his hopes up." Something Morgan's obviously not doing. "When are you planning on doing it?
"Right to the point," Jaha says, almost amused. He shakes his head. "I plan to share my intentions with the Council before Unity Day, and make the announcement in my speech. I will no longer be Chancellor, and we will need a new outlook when we get to the Ground. A new election would be the wisest course. My job will be done… I would have served to see the Ark's people returned to the ground."
Morgan studies Jaha silently a few moments as he considers what the Chancellor said. Then he shakes his head. "Disband the Council, step down as Chancellor, stay on the Ark. Taking the easy way out, don't you think? Washing your hands of everything so you can say it's no longer a problem you need to deal with? Meanwhile leaving things in chaos as the people of the Ark have to deal with a new world, possibly hostile natives, and not a single person to look to for guidance."
Jaha actually laughs a bit. "Mr. Blackwood, if my intentions were to please you, I would say you are impossible to please. I have promised to stay on the Ark so that everyone else may come down without threats from those already on the ground. I believe in unity, Mr. Blackwood… and that we need each other in order to survive. As I told Miss Stradford… I would love nothing more than to step out onto the ground with my people, but not at the costs you have placed at my feet." He gestures a bit. "Some question why I bend to you, but really… I'm not what is needed. Arrangements will be made, the Ark will elect a new Chancellor, and life will begin anew. While I'm flattered you put so much stock in my presence, Mr. Blackwood… I was not going to be Chancellor forever… my tenure would have been up at some point, and someone else would still be stepping into the role. I have just chosen to put that all in motion sooner."
"I don't have much faith in you." Morgan says bluntly. "But I know what your reputation is and that others do have faith in you. Maybe not down here but up there. My parents did." And look how that turned out. "With you out of the picture, do you think Kane will calmly give up his power? How about the Guard? It'll be a free for all." He sits back in his chair and looks at the Chancellor. "Let's say I believe in your good intentions. Disband the Council. Come down with everyone. Appoint a new Council with people able to adapt to the new world. Who aren't stuck in the past. Put one of us on it." he states then adds quickly "Not me so don't think I'm looking for power. Fact is, we've got the most experience and will have even more by the time you get down here. We'll also have contacts with the Grounders. We can best advise the Arkers on how to survive. And they trust you. With you as Chancellor, the Guard may stay loyal to you even without Kane."
Jaha arches a brow at Morgan. "Morgan… I understand your thirst here, your hunger… you wish to be useful, and invaluable to us… and that we will not be able to be without you. But you are not approaching this conversation in a way that will earn you that… by your example, those who come down to the ground will catch up to where you are in eleven days… fourteen if we wish to be generous." Jaha's voice is strangely kind, almost offering guidance instead of reprimand. "Steps are already being taken to prepare the Ark for life on the ground… that has become our sole mission now that we are no longer a transitional generation. We are the generation." He rests his fingers at his lips, looking thoughtful. "What we need from you, Morgan, is not how to survive… but how to reunite."
"You didn't answer my question which is an answer in itself." Morgan points out. "You won't be catching up well if there's a power struggle. Do you really think there won't be? Everyone's going to agree to anything now but once they're down and not in danger of running out of air, the guns will come out. Maybe, if you're still Chancellor, you can keep things peaceful. Maybe not but it's a chance. Cam already lost one parent. I don't want his dad getting caught in the crossfire."
Jaha draws his fingers together, looking at Morgan over his knuckles. His expression is unreadable save for the slightly worrying furrow along his brow. "My duties have always been to our people," he says, his voice suddenly tired. Then he nods. "I will see you on the ground, Mr. Blackwood."
Morgan nods once in return. "Good." For certain definitions of good. He suddenly looks at a loss as if he didn't expect to win that argument and doesn't need the other ten things he was going to say.
Jaha allows the moment of silence to flow for a few moments, and then he says, "Good luck… with the Grounders, Mr. Blackwood. I have asked that Miss Stradford speak to the delegation, and make it known that others from the sky are coming… I do not wish to cause further surprises."
"We were already planning on letting them know that." Morgan answers. At least he was. Probably the others. "Starting out lying about important shit seems like a really bad way to get them to trust us. It's going to be hard enough with people dead on both sides. They don't kill for the hell of it though."
Jaha nods. He looks as if he is about to say more, but then someone is talking to him out of sight. He nods and then looks back at Morgon, "At least that is good news. Thank you for the call." Beat pause. "Be safe."
"I will." Morgan says. "You too. Don't trust Kane." He nods to Jaha then stands and leaves.

Bernd Eichinger
Quelle: Constantin, DIF, © 2008 Constantin Film Verleih GmbH
Bei den Dreharbeiten zu "Der Baader Meinhof Komplex" (2007)
Bernd Eichinger was born April 11, 1949, in Neuburg/Donau as the son of the doctor Manfred Eichinger and his wife Ilse. He grew up in Reichartshofen, attended a boarding school in the Bavarian Forest and obtained his A-levels at the Erasmus Grasser Gymnasium in Munich. During his time at school, Eichinger occupied himself with writing, painting and music rather than with film. In 1970, however, he enrolled at the newly-established Academy for Television & Film in Munich. In addition, he gained practical work experience at the Bavaria Atelier GmbH. In 1973, he finished his directing studies (with focus on production) with the 45-minute film "Weihnachtsmärchen", in which he also played the leading role alongside Marquard Bohm. The sound was done by Peter Fratzscher, Ulrich Edel acted as assistant director.
Subsequently, Eichinger wrote screenplays and worked as head of production at the Bavarian Broadcasting Corporation. In 1974, he founded his own production company Solaris Filmproduktion with a capital stock of DM 20.000. While producing his first movies, he was lucky enough to be able to benefit from existing financing networks.Thus, he made use of depreciation money (Roland Klick's Simmel adaptation "Lieb Vaterland magst ruhig sein"), funding money ("Der starke Ferdinand", directed by Alexander Kluge), or television money ("Falsche Bewegung", directed by Wim Wenders).
Alongside the film distributor Filmverlag der Autoren, Eichinger was considered as the most important producer of the New German Cinema period, albeit only for a short while. Up until 1977, Solaris-Film produced movies such as Edgar Reitz's "Stunde Null" ("Zero Hour"), Erika Runge's "Michael", Jochen Richter's "Umarmungen", Uschi Reich's "Ich heiße Marianne und du?", Heidi Genée's "Grete Minde", H. J. Syberberg's "Hitler. Ein Film aus Deutschland" ("Hitler: A Film from Germany"), as well as Hans W. Geissendörfer's films "Die Wildente" ("The Wild Duck") and "Die gläserne Zelle" ("The Glass Cell"). The latter won a German Film Award and received an Oscar nomination.
When Constantin Film was in trouble in 1979, Eichinger composed a 30-page study on mistakes, shortcomings and possible solutions for financial reorganization. Subsequently, he became both a co-partner and general manager of the company, which he renamed Neue Constantin. The first big project was supposed to be the adaptation of the bestselling biography "Christiane F. – Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo" ("We Children from Bahnhof Zoo"). Eichinger – a comics fan with a passion for sneakers and jeans – planned to turn the popular German book into a movie, which could also be distributed internationally.
Despite being a follower of clearly-structured narrative films, he repeatedly had to collaborate with headstrong individualists such as Wenders, Kluge, and Reitz in the past. This time around, he himself could choose a director. His first choice was Roland Klick whose films "Deadlock" (1970) and "Supermarkt" (1973) had proven that innovative directing and public appeal do not have to contradict each other. The collaboration promised to establish a competitive German alternative to Hollywood – something Rainer Werner Fassbinder had in mind, too. Just like Fassbinder, however, Eichinger is a power seeker, unable to collaborate with other strong personalities. Thus, Uli Edel and Wolfgang Petersen, two rather adaptable craftsmen, became his favorite directors. Much later, Eichinger was able to befriend members of the third generation of New German Cinema such as Doris Dörrie, Sönke Wortmann, Nico Hofmann, and Joseph Vilsmaier. While "Christiane F." and "Last Exit Brooklyn" were directed by Uli Edel, Wolfgang Petersen directed "Das Boot" ("The Boat") and "Die unendliche Geschichte" ("The Neverending Story").
In spite of having only a comparatively small budget at his disposal, Eichinger soon became a central figure in German cinema and involved himself actively in every aspect of the filmmaking process - even if he acted as 'just' the distributor. To strengthen his capital, the German media group Kirch-Gruppe joined the Neue Constantin as a minor shareholder. The actual balance of power remains unclear.
In 1985/1986, Eichinger realized his most ambitious and possibly most felicitous project, the adaptation of Umberto Eco's historical novel "The Name of the Rose" (directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud). Luckily, media mogul Kirch allowed Eichinger to take all the liberties he wanted.
In 1991, Eichinger established the subsidiary Constantin Film Development Inc. in Los Angeles. However, his Hollywood dream of being able to produce big budget movies shot in English eventually turned out to be a disappointment.
Frustrated, he went back to his German roots in 1995. He developed a 12-part series labeled "German Classics" for the Kirch-controlled television station Sat.1. The series was comprised of remakes of past film successes. Sat.1 broadcasted the first four of these movies during the 1996 holiday season. Films by Rolf Thiele (1958), Georg Tressler (1956), Hans Quest (1955), and Ladislao Vajda (1958) were adapted for television: Eichinger himself directed "Das Mädchen Rosemarie" ("A Girl Called Rosemary"), Urs Egger directed "Die Halbstarken", Sönke Wortmann directed "Charley"s Tante" ("Charly's Aunt"), and Nico Hofmann directed "Es geschah am hellichten Tag". Despite heavy promotion, however, the ratings were low. It seems unlikely that the series will ever be continued. Hofmann's contribution received the best reviews, probably because the issue of child abuse is still of current interest. Eichinger's film, on the other hand, drew some (possibly unjustified) scorn. "Das Mädchen Rosemarie" was his first true directorial effort, shot quickly and on a low-budget, simplistically melodramatic – and by no means worse than for example Fassbinder's "Lola".
With Helmut Dietl's "Rossini oder die mörderische Frage, wer mit wem schlief" ("Rossini", 1997), Eichinger and his Munich clique received their very own film saga. Dietl realized that Eichinger has a somewhat polarizing personality: One can either love him or hate him. To judge him fairly, however, is difficult. He is criticized by many people who are unable to accomplish what he has accomplished. He has learned how to balance success and failure. And while disliking auteur movies, he loves cinema.
In 1999, Eichinger directed "Der Große Bagarozy" ("The Devil and Ms. D") for the big screen. On occasion of the premiere, he converted the area surrounding the Munich "Maxx" movie theater into a nocturnal Arcadia.
With the television film "Vera Brühne" (2001), Bernd Eichinger took on yet another specifically German topic. "The story must be right. That's all that counts in filmmaking." Attaching great importance to the choice of subject, Eichinger keeps switching between national topics – including the slapstick comedy "Ballermann 6" – and spectacular international productions. In 2001, he produced Paul W. S. Anderson's computer game adaptation "Resident Evil", starring Milla Jovovich.
Due to Constantin Film's poor financial situation Eichinger resigned from his position as chairman and concentrated on his work as a producer. He helmed Rainer Matsutani's "666 – Traue keinem, mit dem du schläfst" ("666: In Bed with the Devil") for Engram Pictures and the teenager comedy "Knallharte Jungs" for Constantin Film Produktion GmbH. Meanwhile, Michael "Bully" Herbig's "Der Schuh des Manitu" ("Manitou's Shoe"), a parody of the German-made Winnetou westerns of the 1960s, emerged as the most successful German film in decades. Being involved as both a co-producer and distributor, Constantin was able to improve its balance sheet.
"Der Untergang" ("The Downfall", 2003/2004) drew international attention. Written and produced by Bernd Eichinger, the elaborately staged drama about the final days of Adolf Hitler provoked a lot of discussion and made a lot of money both at home and overseas. Furthermore, it received an Academy Award nomination for Best Foreign Language Film.
Subsequently, Eichinger produced Doris Dörrie's post-feminist romantic comedy "Der Fischer und seine Frau" (2004/2005) as well as Oskar Rohler's star-studded adaptation of Michel Houellebecq's novel "The Elementary Particles" (2005/2006). With "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer", Eichinger worked on another big international co-production. Directed by Tom Tykwer, the adaptation of Patrick Süskind's bestselling novel was shot in English and released in late summer of 2006. In addition to several other accolades, the film received six German Film Awards.
With Uli Edel, Eichinger collaborated on yet another monumental piece of work: Based on Stefan Aust's standard reference book of the same title, "Baader Meinhof Komplex" ("The Baader Meinhof Complex") traces the history of the West German terrorist group Red Army Fraction (RAF). The screenplay was written by Bernd Eichinger. Featuring a prominent cast of actors, "Baader Meinhof Komplex" received a lot of public attention on its release in September 2008.
On January 24th 2011, Bernd Eichinger unexpectedly passed away in Los Angeles after suffering from a severe heart attack. His untimely death was a shock to the worldwide film community.

Back when the story of under-inflated footballs in the AFC Championship game was fresh and new, Chris Mortensen of ESPN reported that 11 of the 12 footballs the Patriots used in the first half of the game were two pounds per square inch under the NFL's prescribed pressure for balls used in games.
That report became a centerpiece of much discussion about the situation and the Patriots' possible role in deflating the balls, even after PFT reported last week that only the ball intercepted by Colts linebacker D'Qwell Jackson came in two pounds under the 12.5 PSI threshold. The rest of the balls were closer to the line by about one pound.
Now Ian Rapoport of NFL Media is reporting something similar. Rapoport reports that many of the other 11 footballs were "just a few ticks" under the minimum, although those ticks aren't quantified, perhaps because, as NFL vice president of officiating Dean Blandino confirmed, the league doesn't log the PSI of each ball before the game.
While the word on the level of deflation was already out there, the fact that a league-owned concern is reporting it is a notable development as we wait for the league to say something definitive on the issue.

The Eleanor Roosevelt Papers, Digital Edition > My Day
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio , Friday—Yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Ruthven, who is the perfect hostess, took me to see a number of the Ann Arbor buildings on the campus of the University of Michigan. The graduate students building is really beautiful and the dormitories we visited were liveable and charming. Much of the work has been done either by PWA or WPA, and I feel a great pride in what has been accomplished through cooperation with the Federal Government.
We went to see Mrs. Alexander Dow and enjoyed the lovely view from her house over the treetops to the lake below. Then we stopped in for tea and at a girls' dormitory on the way back. President and Mrs. Ruthven were so kind that I left with great reluctance after my lecture and wished I could have had a longer stay in Ann Arbor really to appreciate all the work carried on there.
The State press association was meeting in Ann Arbor and I was happy to see some old friends, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Traenor, for a few minutes after my lecture.
We arrived in Youngstown this morning to find so many things of interest which could be done during the day, that it has been difficult to plan what we would do. Of course, the press conference came first and then I went to see my first steel mill, the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company. It is a very modern plant and looks extremely efficient. They pointed out to me that the modern machinery made the work for the men lighter than it had been in the old days. They said that though fewer men were needed for certain operations, this did not mean that fewer men were actually used in the mill, because in the finishing processes more labor was required and steel is used in many new ways today.
Youngstown has always been a one industry city and the whole valley is dependent on the steel business for a livlihood. There is a big problem before them at present because their cost of production is higher than it is in places where they have water transportation as well as rail transportation. By good management they have been able to compete so far, but they feel that unless a certain canal is built which will give them access to the river and the Great Lakes, this competition may become impossible to meet in the future. It is a serious situation and one which can be duplicated in other areas where there are other interests.
I am beginning to think that we need not only a National Resources Board, to look into what the nation's resources are and report on them, but a group made up of industrialists and labor leaders to do research work in all these different problems which affect different areas throughout the country. They should be looked at from the point of view of the eventual development of the country as a whole and planned on a wide basis. I can think of many objections to this plan, among others, the difficulty of making people think on a national instead of a local basis where their personal interests are involved. I have an idea, however, that this is something which we ought to be thinking about for the future.

Cardi B struggles to find all kinds of ways to deal with Offset's cheating escapades. One of them is to try and remain calm thinking that she is the one Offset gave a diamond engagement ring to.
On the other hand, this whole idea is one of the least empowering things a woman can think of.
Cardi B starts to cope with Offset's cheating ways just because he gifted her a beautiful diamond ring. We really don't know how to feel about this.
She's probably desperate and she doesn't know what to do, but considering the fact that she is a celebrity who should be an example for other your woman what she's saying is not quite right.
Since Offset gave Cardi that massive diamond ring back in October he's has multiple affairs and one of the women he allegedly slept with, Celina Powell, also claimed that he left her pregnant.
Cardi B discussed with Beats 1's Julie Adenuga that she told her that 'Yesterday I wrote a love song and while I was doing the verse I just kept thinking about a couple of months back when me and [scrunched her mouth to hint Offset] wasn't on perfect terms so I was getting really pissed off and really emotional and then I was like 'who cares, I got a ring'. Ya know what I mean?'
This is not the first time that Cardi sets back feminism. During a New Year's Eve concert in New York, she told her female audience that in 2018 if you do not have a job and if you are not in school, you should get yourself a sugar daddy.
We don't think that this kind of affirmation should be ever made or taken seriously because this is practically prostitution and we do not encourage it.
This whole thing is a bit sad especially since Cardi vowed at the end of 2017 to be a better role model.
In an Instagram video she posted 'I realized, after Halloween, a lot of little girls, they be looking up to me.' She continued saying that, 'They love me and I'm thinking to myself, like, Yo, I need to be a better example.'

Over the summer we were left gobsmacked when we s aw pictures of Jack Nicholson watching the basketball with his son Ray.
The two are identical - Ray is the spitting image of his father when he was younger.
But it's not just Ray who hasn't fallen far from the tree – his daughter Lorraine also looks rather like him.
Not that she's manly in any way – she's like a beautiful, female version of the One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest actor.
Jack, 77, was spending some good old quality time with his 24-year-old daughter taking her to TASCHEN and David Bailey's "It's Just A Shot Away: The Rolling Stones In Photographs" exhibit.
Lorraine, who is Jack's daughter with Rebecca Broussard, is an aspiring actress.
So far the budding star has starred in Soul Surfer, The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement and Hacker.
His son Ray, who's mum is also Rebecca, meanwhile is a director (he already has two assistant director credits to his name).
Yup these kids are talented.

In this article we will take a look at the side effects of smartphones, what it takes to digitally detox, and tips and tricks to distance yourself from distracting notifications.
How Is My Smartphone Affecting My Health?
Our 'technostress' (originally conceptualized as the negative influence of technology and social media) is directly associated with the round-the-clock accessibility afforded by mobile phones, creating a feeling of never being free and guilt at the inability to respond to notifications, calls and text messages. These feelings are now developing into mental health issues, with overuse symptoms severely increasing our risk of social isolation.
More peace and less anxiety
Clearer thinking and less distraction
More focus and less multitasking
More creative and less reactive
More empowered and less guilt
Better sleep
More personable with stronger relationships
1. Get An Alarm Clock
Do you think it's a good idea to have a digital detox? Are the younger generation more addicted to phones than the older generation? At what age should young people have a mobile phone?
Do please share your thoughts …
Readers - you will find a variety of articles (and recipe ideas), are within this blog. It is important to note, not all may be suitable for you. If you may have any food allergies, or underlying health issues these must always be taken into account. If you are a diabetic and not sure how certain foods may affect your blood sugars, test is best, i.e. use your meter.
All the best Jan

Ok after one day of drinking what my friend calls the Satan's brew and trying to drink my weight in water, I've learned that I would be an excellent candidate to act in one of those medical commercials.
"Do you frequently have to visit the bathroom?"
"Do you feel the urge to pee even 5 minutes after just going?"
"You may be experiencing the affects of a detox program. If you or any of your family members have experienced these symptoms, call 1-800-WATRLOG. The professionalist at our facility are trained to help your every need and symptom. Your life doesn't need to be ruled by the detox program. Get help now by calling 1-800-WATRLOG."
Holy crow, I seriously thought I had some issues. If I wasn't running to the bathroom every 5 minutes, I sounded like one of those old fashioned water beds. You know the sound I'm talking about. That wooshing, sloshing, gurgling. Yep that was me.
I don't think the human stomach is supposed to hold that much fluid.
On to Day 2.Tags: Detox program, Optimal Health, TiffanyYoga

The Eastern PA Conference said goodbye this summer to some special people and to one place that was special because of the people who lived and visited there.
We bid a fond farewell to two beloved staff members during Annual Conference and during several staff celebrations. Gloria Knoeller, who joined the conference staff in 1979, retired July 31 after 38 years as an administrative assistant.
The Rev. Christopher J. Kurien returns to the pastorate in August—at First UMC Lansdale—after serving six years as Director of Connectional Ministries and six years as a District Superintendent. The Rev. Anita Powell succeeds him as Director of Connectional Ministries.
Also leaving us in July was the Rev. Esdras Seda, part-time Conference Latino Ministries Coordinator for three years while also serving part-time at Espiritu Santo (Holy Spirit) UMC in Philadelphia. He is now the fulltime pastor of Emmanuel and La Trinidad UMCs in Allentown. The Rev. Brunilda Martinez is the new Latino Ministries Coordinator.
Bishop Peggy Johnson is also on the move, literally. The conference's efforts to reduce expenses and pay off the pre-1982 clergy retirement unfunded liability by 2021 led to a decision to sell the episcopal residence in Phoenixville that was purchased in 2006. She and her husband, the Rev. Michael Johnson, have lived there since 2008, but they moved in August to the vacant parsonage of Otterbein UMC in nearby Mont Clare.
The 2016 General Conference voted that bishops no longer have to live in an episcopal residence and can receive a housing allowance instead. Our spacious episcopal residence, with its six bathrooms, five bedrooms, three living rooms and two dining rooms, has been "the site of many opportunities for hospitality," said the bishop.
"I have hosted clergywomen, retired pastors, the Korean Caucus and Latino Commission, Black Methodists for Church Renewal, the Committee on Native Americans, new clergy retirees, young adult pastors and their families, pastors in cross-racial/cross-cultural appointments, the Cabinet Christmas party, staff summer get-togethers, and a number of dinners for bishops, dignitaries and committees. It has been a place of much good conversation and connectivity."
Indeed, the residence has at times seemed like "the people's house," as the White House was often described by former U.S. President and First Lady Barack and Michelle Obama. Especially welcome for visits with food and fellowship were small groups that needed a place to nurture collegiality in ministry.
The pre-1982 clergy retirement unfunded liability is still short by $3.2 million, even after our successful capital campaign. Besides freeing up money to help pay off that expense by 2021, the home's sale will also save the conference "an enormous amount of money" on utilities, property taxes, repairs and community association fees, said Bishop Johnson. "In addition, we will be able to pay off the remaining mortgage from the proceeds."
What about the fellowship and hospitality offered in her home over the years? "I will continue to connect with people at churches and at the conference center for food, conversation and connection," said Johnson. "It is who I am."
As for what happens in 2020 when her tenure ends, the next bishop will choose whether to have an episcopal residence or a housing allowance.
"I have enjoyed living in this house," said Johnson, "and I appreciate the care and support that the residence committee and the episcopacy committee have given to it through the years."
Another fond farewell…
Alice Focht UMC in Birdsboro, one of four Conference churches to close this year, celebrated 180 years of faithful service to God and its community in a bittersweet final service on April 30. The Rev. Pat Goshert, pastor, followed three former pastors–(from right) the Revs. Richard Andrews, Alicia Julia-Stanley and Maxime Jaouen–in reminiscing and saying farewell to a packed sanctuary of members and friends. The Rev. Anita Powell (far left), District Superintendent, led the deconsecration ceremony as church members, some in tears, removed sacramental items from the chancel. John Coleman photo

Katy Perry Is Selling Left Shark Onesies Nowby Zara Husaini
It's shaping up to be a busy year for Katy Perry: Between performing at the Super Bowl and allegedly feuding with Taylor Swift, the blue-eyed singer has has a lot on her plate.
But add this to her list of projects: She's now selling Left Shark items. She took to Twitter to promote a onesie that looks a lot like the shark costumes worn by her Super Bowl backup dancers.
This is especially good news for anyone who has ever wanted to look like a Katy Perry backup dancer – not only is this onesie a dead ringer for the Super Bowl costumes, it also happens to be incredibly comfortable.
The onesie will run you $129.99, but keep in mind that it can be worn while lounging around the house or can be used as a topical 2015 Halloween costume. Granted, the price tag is probably higher than the one you'd find on your average onesie, but then again, if it's good enough for the Super Bowl, it's good enough for a slight price markup.
If you don't want to fully commit to the whole look, pick up the "Katy Perry status" tee shirt, which has an image of the now-iconic shark along with the #leftshark hashtag.
Katy's online merchandise also includes standard items – think CDs, concert tees and posters – but we've got to hand it to her: The #leftshark onesies are among the most creative pieces of celebrity merchandise we've seen since Beyonce's "I Woke Up Like This" t-shirts. We think this item has the power to be one of 2015's most iconic pop culture pieces.

Today's project is based on the challenges from CAS(E) this Sketch and Sunday Stamps using the Graceful Garden stamp.
I used Soft Sky, Marina Mist and Night of Navy ink for the polished stone technique I used for the background. With so many color combinations out there I just love all of the possibilities.
I used a sponge dauber and Soft Sky ink to color the strip of Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper . I used an aqua painter to color the roses and leaves. I did add some Crystal Effects to the top of the rose but you could easily use the Fine-Tip Glue for a similar affect.
I did cheat a little to add the green leaves on the inside but I love the look.
Stamp: Graceful Garden Paper: Night of Navy, Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper, White, Watercolor Paper, Glossy Paper Ink: Soft Sky, Refills: Marina Mist, Soft Sky, Night of Navy, Black Archival, Real Red, Pear Pizzazz Accessories: Dauber, Aqua Painter, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Layering Squares Framelits, Stampin' Dimensionals
Here are the challenges that inspired my card:
If you need any stamping supplies I'd be happy to be your demonstrator. If you have any questions or comments I'd love to hear from you. REMEMBER there is still time to earn your bonus $. For every $50 spent in July you will get a $5 coupon to spend in August.

Information about this dictionary:
Apparently, we were the first ones who were crazy enough to think that western people might want a combined Chinese, Japanese, and Buddhist dictionary.
A lot of westerners can't tell the difference between Chinese and Japanese - and there is a reason for that. Chinese characters and even whole words were borrowed by Japan from the Chinese language in the 5th century. Much of the time, if a word or character is used in both languages, it will have the same or a similar meaning. However, this is not always true. Language evolves, and meanings independently change in each language.
Example: The Chinese character 湯 for soup (hot water) has come to mean bath (hot water) in Japanese. They have the same root meaning of "hot water", but a 湯屋 sign on a bathhouse in Japan would lead a Chinese person to think it was a "soup house" or a place to get a bowl of soup. See this: Japanese Bath House

CHICAGO — One investigation said the median age of people suffering from lung disease tied to vaping is 19 — and they are largely males. Now, new products on the market could make it even tougher for parents to know when teens may be hiding the addictive habit.
As parents are starting to tune in and even wise up about the potential risks when it comes to vaping, the vaping industry is finding creative and sneaky new ways to reach consumers — critics suggest largely young consumers often under the age of 21.
All it takes is a Google search or two to find products on line to help conceal vaping.
WGN went to two different sites to find the products. Both sites required verifying age. WGN's Julie Unruh has the story.

The latest on Nova Scotia's mass shooting
Atlantic Police Academy session covers street checks, racial profiling
A municipal police instructor says a new session has recently been added to the Atlantic Police Academy program to deal with police checks and racial profiling.
"I cover a session on racial profiling, police stops (street checks), and warrantless searches," Insp. Curtis Fudge of the academy on the Holland College campus in Summerside, P.E.I., said in an email.
"It ties in with my training module on search and seizure, which overall spans eight to 10 classes of the program," Fudge said. "The session focuses on what racial profiling entails, tolerable investigative interests versus factors that cannot support arrest or detention, using race as an identifier, and I discuss some judicially noted examples of racial profiling."
The issue of street checks, often described as police stopping a pedestrian or vehicle and requesting identification and other information, has been festering in Halifax Regional Municipality and the entire province since well-known professional and Olympic boxer Kirk Johnson was followed and eventually ticketed in Dartmouth in April 1998. Driving a Ford Mustang, Johnson provided out-of-province vehicle registration and proof of insurance. His car was towed.
The case went to a Nova Scotia human rights tribunal in 2003 and a study on the racial impact of traffic stops by HRP was recommended.
Criminologist Scot Wortley delivered the ultimate report last week, finding that African Nova Scotians are almost six times more likely to be street-checked in HRM than white people and concluding that street checks should be banned or strictly regulated.
In the wake of the independent Wortley report, Justice Minister Mark Furey directed police across the province to immediately cease using street checks as part of a quota system or as a performance measurement tool.
But police departments have said street check quotas do not exist and that they are not used to measure performance.
Chief Jean-Michel Blais said after Wortley's presentation that he accepts the fact that black people are street-checked more than white but he said front-line officers aren't subjected to street check quotas and street checks are not used to evaluate officers' performances.
In Truro, Chief David MacNeil said street checks have not "really been an issue" with the Truro Police Service.
"We don't do them as a rule," he said. "We don't keep track of those kinds of statistics. We've done things over the years in-house, like most agencies — sensitivity training and bias in policing training."
Furey added that the Justice Department will invest in mandatory training for the more than 1,900 police officers across the province, focusing on the fundamentals of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the mission, vision and values of policing.
Gathering information for his 179-page report, Wortley's team spoke with 117 Halifax police officers, most of whom maintained that street checks can help with criminal investigations and, when used correctly, contribute to public safety. But Wortley's report also referenced officers working on the street as stating that some supervisors "maintained that the performance evaluations of front-line officers are often predicated on the number of street checks," completed in a given period.
"Some expressed that there was a perceived quota for street checks, much like there is a perceived quota for traffic tickets. There is, these officers contend, an emphasis on quantity over quality."
Still, officers reported receiving little training on when and how to complete a street check.
Wortley consulted with more than 250 people from the HRM black community in researching his report, revealing widespread cynicism of police. Many complained about the high number of street checks they experienced, saying they were targeted because of race. They called the checks unfair, arbitrary and racially biased "fishing expeditions" to find something to charge them with.
At a rally staged Saturday in north-end Halifax to protest the practice of street checks, black activist DeRico Symonds said it's time to immediately ban street checks.
"The right thing to do is ban street checks," Symonds said. "The easy thing to do is to just let it keep going."
Of the more than 400 sworn police members working in HRM, the nearly 40 in Truro, and among the municipal police officers across the province, the majority have been trained at the Atlantic Police Academy.
Fudge said he added the training session on racial profiling to the police academy curriculum in January 2018 and could not speak to what previous law instructors may or may not have covered.
"The session is, for the most part, in its infancy, so I suspect it will evolve as the courts and public opinion dictate," Fudge said.
Fudge said the police science program is 35 weeks in total, including a 30-hour pre-law course for candidates before their arrival in Summerside in January. In Summerside, they complete 24 weeks of training, including expanded law instruction, and leave in June for a 10-week on-the-job-training portion with a police agency.
The cadets return to Summerside for a week in late August or early September to complete their training.
"If successful in meeting all the training requirements, they are then ready for hire."
Fudge could not say if candidates were assessed for racial biases and prejudices during admission background checks and a polygraph interview.
Halifax police began a 38-week in-house cadet training program in January that includes a 70-day field training assessment while on patrol.

Goals from Jade Moore and Brooke Chaplen either side of half-time earned Reading all three points as they saw off West Ham, winning 2-0.
England international Moore nodded the Royals in front midway through the first half, before Chaplen sealed the win shortly after the hour mark.
Victory lifts Reading up to fourth in the Barclays FA WSL table, while West Ham sit eighth after their second successive league defeat.
It was a cagey opening on a chilly evening at Adams Park. The Hammers were looking to break forward quickly and use wide areas but that came with little reward as a few early crosses were claimed by Rachel Laws in the Royals goal.
West Ham goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse was called into action for the first time on 15 minutes as she denied an unmarked Chaplen from close range.
Reading then broke the deadlock with an intelligently-worked free-kick midway through the first half. Fara Williams chipped a cute ball into the area, which was flicked on by Amalie Eikeland and it was Moore who applied the finishing touch with a delicate header past Moorhouse into the corner of her net.
Just before half-time the hosts had a golden opportunity to double their advantage as Moore's low cross found Remi Allen. The midfielder's deft flick hit the post before bouncing off Eikeland and going agonisingly wide.
It was Chaplen who doubled Reading's tally on 63 minutes with a calm, poked finish underneath Moorhouse, following a tenacious forward run as she held off Grace Fisk's challenge.
Moore drove a fierce shot just wide as the Royals pushed for a third soon after Chaplen scored.
Then, with eight minutes to go, Moorhouse managed to pluck the ball from Eikeland as the forward, who was through on goal, attempted to take it around her.
Reading's Brooke Chaplen said: "It's important for us to pick up points off teams who are around us in the league and West Ham are definitely one of those teams, so to get a clean sheet and to put in a professional performance was nice. I think we deserved the win today.
"You want to dominate every game and there will be oppositions that you can and can't do that against. I thought we used the ball well tonight and we were patient and we dictated the pace of the game, which is important for how we play. We're just delighted to get the three points and we look forward to the FA Cup on Sunday.
"We've not been as consistent this season as we would have liked to have been, so to have a good performance today is really important. We need to continue this going forward and keep playing as well as this for the rest of the season."
West Ham's Kate Longhurst said: "I don't think we did ourselves justice, and we're going through a bit of a rough patch at the moment.
"I think it showed that we lack a bit of confidence, once we conceded that first goal I don't think we really created anything. We got into a few attacking areas but didn't actually get any shots away. That's frustrating and we also switched off for their two goals.
"When you go onto the pitch you're not trying to think about past results and we've had a good week of training. Matt's got us focused and put a game plan out there that we didn't follow in the first half, which is on us as players.
"When it's going badly it's hard to sometimes turn things around. We just need a little bit of luck and maybe we can bounce back in the next game."

Why Anxiety Has So Much Power Over Us
Anxiety is something we all struggle with and in some cases can debilitate and rule us. Anxiety, though, is the symptom of a more deep-seated fear.
Jesus Christ
Why It Matters That Jesus Was Really Human
Amid the concern to defend that Jesus was God, we can lose sight that Jesus was human, that in Jesus God became a man.
Why Are Christians So Intolerant?
"Sinner" and "sin" are dirty words in our culture.

Puerto Rico – The American authorities have announced today that a Chinese ship is under investigation after it has been caught delivering first Aid goods and utility poles to Puerto Rico earlier this week.
"I can confirm that the crew of a Chinese ship is under investigation at the moment", Ron Frees, a Spokesman for the Aquatic Bureau of Investigation against Maritime Piracy and Frauds (ABIMAPF), says. "Following an anonymous phone call warning us, we were able to catch them trying to offer food, First Aid kits and utility poles to Puerto Rico without any permission. Apparently, they had no intention of making Puerto Rico pay for it. But that's not the problem. It's insulting to the United States. We will deliver utility poles to Puerto Rico if and when we feel ready for it".
Ricardo Ramos, the ex-executive director of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority says that he had been contacted some weeks ago by the ship's crew to offer help.
"They tried to contact me when I was still executive director", Ramos says. "But I told them that if I wanted more electricity poles, I'd hire a tiny company in Alabama for $300 million. We're good, we don't need them. I'm not sorry for these people, they have only themselves to blame for the trouble they are in now. Hopefully it will serve as an example".

Taipei--The air quality was mixed around Taiwan on Thursday, with eastern Taiwan and most parts of northern Taiwan enjoying good air quality and many areas in central and southern Taiwan experiencing unhealthy levels of air quality, according to the Environmental Protection Administration's (EPA's) Taiwan Air Quality Monitoring Network.
As of 11 a.m., the monitoring stations in Pingtung City and Kaohsiung City's Qiaotou, Nanzi and Qianzhen flashed red, meaning the air quality was unhealthy for the general public.
The stations in Nantou City, Nantou County's Puli and Zhushan, Yunlin County's Douliu, Chiayi City, Tainan City, and the rest of Kaohsiung City, flashed orange, indicating the air quality was unhealthy for sensitive groups, such as young children, the elderly and people with a chronic disease, according to the network (http://taqm.epa.gov.tw/taqm/en/).
Meanwhile, the stations in Taipei City, eastern Taiwan's Hualien and Taitung counties, northeastern Taiwan's Yilan County, and most areas in Taoyuan County, Maioli County, Taichung City and Changhua County flashed green, meaning that the air quality was good.
For the rest of the country, the air quality was yellow, indicating "moderate" or the second best on the scale from green to maroon.
For Friday, the air quality is forecast to flash red in Kaohsiung and Pingtung; orange in central Taiwan and Yunlin, Chiayi and Tainan; yellow in the north and in Hsinchu and Miaoli; and green in Yilan, Hualien and Taitung, according to the network.
The EPA's six-color scale takes into account ozone, PM2.5 and PM10 particulates, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and nitric oxide concentrations in the air.
Green represents "good" air quality, with a pollutant reading of less than 50; yellow indicates "moderate" at 50-100; orange means "unhealthy for sensitive groups" with a reading of 101-150; red indicates "unhealthy" with a range of 151-200; purple signifies "very unhealthy" with a level of 201-300; maroon represents "hazardous" with a reading of 301-500.

A Business Partner That Knows How to Help You Grow
Grow Your Business, Not Your Inbox
When EcoLogic Solutions was launched in 2005, the founding mission was clear: To manufacture, distribute, and sell the most environmentally preferable commercial cleaning products and technologies. That philosophy trickled into everything the company does, from delivery trucks that run on recycled restaurant grease, to an office furnished with reclaimed office furniture, to environmentally conscious marketing materials.
Over a decade later, Brooklyn, N.Y.-based EcoLogic Solutions has grown into a multi-million dollar business with a line of more than 100 sustainable cleaning products and a growing list of customers including restaurants, hotels, schools, hospitals and more.
The company hasn't managed all this growth alone. Laura Sills, EcoLogic's operations and supply chain coordinator, says Staples has been a go-to partner for its print marketing needs. Staples Print and Marketing Services® offers everything from business cards and logo design, to marketing materials and signage, which is especially helpful for those attending trade shows and conventions.
Here are examples of how EcoLogic Solutions has worked with Staples to help grow its business while keeping its mission and customers top-of-mind.
Making a tradeshow truly memorable.
Last August, the EcoLogic team was scheduled to exhibit at an important industry trade show. They wanted to hand out a flyer to attendees offering a discount on an opening order. As with many great ideas, this one was finalized only days before the big event. Sills turned to Staples to help turn around these coupons on the fly.
"I placed the order online since I had the design already, and worked directly with a Staples store here in Brooklyn to tweak it a bit to ensure that the formatting was exactly how we needed it," Sills explains. "The store staff were patient and helpful, double checking that any cropping that was necessary was OK before sending anything to print."
The coupons were something tangible for potential customers to remember EcoLogic by. The look and quality were critical for helping to grow new business. "We were impressed with the quality and I was very impressed with how quickly I got the entire project done," Sills says.
Trade shows will be a priority for many companies this year. Seventy-one percent of business owners said they are likely to attend a trade show in 2017 as a vendor, a recent Staples Small Business Survey says.
Finding creative solutions at the right price.
As a maker of green cleaning products, EcoLogic can have specific requests of its business partners. When a new client, Chuck E. Cheese, needed new Safety Data binders and instructional posters for each of its restaurants across the U.S., Sills turned to Staples to create them—using environmentally friendly materials.
"My account rep was cognizant of that and gave me as many options as possible as far as paper material and ways to save on ink and money," Sills says. "We were previously laminating all of our instructional posters, which was not great material-wise or cost-wise, so he introduced me to a new tear-proof paper that I absolutely love the look of and the cost."
Ecologic has since switched all of its signage in customer locations to this new material, adding a "new level of professionalism" to their branding, Sills says. "Staples has helped us to be able to scale quickly and efficiently while improving our processes and saving money at the same time."

While in Japan, we spent 2 wonderful nights in Osaka (our review of the hotel will definitely come later). Osaka is a sprawling city well known for its cuisine, in fact, Osaka is commonly called Japan's kitchen. Dōtonbori plays a major role in giving this title. Dōtonbori runs along the Dōtonbori canal and has more dinner and food options than you could explore in months. Walking the streets at night is a treat to multiple senses as you smell and taste dishes and stare at elaborate signs.
Rachel and I both managed to find something to eat at different street vendors on our visits to Dōtonbori, though I obviously had many more options. There are a number of street vendors who grill meat (Yakitori) in front of you giving the peace of mind that it is gluten free. My most memorable meals here were Ramen and melonpan. There is a vendor who sets up for a few hours each day and sells ice cream filled melonpan (a sort of sweet bread). For any readers who have the amazing ability to digest gluten and dairy, be grateful and if you have the opportunity, try to find this vendor. He typically sets up in a small square and sells out of a truck. This may have been my favorite street food of the visit.
There are a few restaurants here that seem to have gluten free options as well, though we never had an opportunity to try them out. If anyone has any experience with these, please share for others who may be visiting. If you are walking around Dōtonbori, consider checking out Matsusakagyu Yakiniku M, Hozenji Yokocho and Eggs 'n Things Shinsaibashi. From what I can tell, Matsusakagyu Yakiniku M, Hozenji Yokocho is a restaurant with a grill at your table where you cook your own food. We actually did one of these in Kyoto and had a great time and will write about this later. Eggs 'n Things Shinsaibashi appears to offer some gluten free options for breakfast. Again, we did not actually try these as we did not know about them, but if you are in the area they may be worth checking out.
I recommend visiting Dōtonbori at night when the signs are all lit up and the smells of dinner waft through the air. Walking along the canal is beautiful as the lights are reflected. We saw people doing boat tours in the evening and there were crowds everywhere if people watching is your thing. However, there are also a ton of shops here, some of which are closed at night. It might be best to come in the afternoon and stick around for dinner.
During our two days in Osaka we also visited Osaka castle. We didn't go inside after hearing reviews that is wasn't that exciting. It was a beautiful day and we were content to wander the gardens and orchards found on the grounds. Visiting the castle is worthwhile if you have the time, though many reviews suggest that entering is not worth the price of admission. It seems like the exhibits inside are unrelated to the castle. If you visit and go inside, or have already been, please let us know your thoughts. We would not be opposed to going back.
We also visited the Umeda Sky Building (we will discuss this in our hotel review for Osaka), and Tsūtenkaku. In our opinion Tsūtenkaku offered a nice view while walking, but if your time in Osaka is limited, spend more time in Dōtonbori. There are some neat streets to wander leading to Tsūtenkaku, and the tower lights up at night. There are however far fewer options for dining and less to see.
We had a great time in Osaka and would visit again. If you are only here for a day, I recommend spending the morning at Osaka Castle and the evening in Dōtonbori. Osaka is also known for their Universal Studios and their aquarium. We did not visit either of these but would love to visit if we had the time.
I hope some of this information might be useful and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
Note from Rachel: I found the easiest thing to eat from street vendors was yakitori. They grill the meat and then add the sauce to it, so it's easy to ask for "shio" (salt) instead. The only issue is there may be some cross contamination on the grill from the sauce.

ACTION man Tuncay Sanli created a fine impression on his Boro debut on English soil at Turf Moor on Saturday.
The Turkish international showed plenty of enthusiasm and was always looking to push forward to try to spark attacks.
But the 25-year-old spent the first half wide on the right and then switched to the left in the second period - which suggests he will not be used as an orthodox striker.
If Tuncay operates on the right, then Gareth Southgate will have found the answer to Boro's longest running problem.
But it will also create another dilemma, because this Boro squad will still need another striker.
Southgate opted for Yakubu and Jeremie Aliadiere as his front two and the duo did well against Burnley, though individually rather than as a pairing.
Aliadiere showed lots of pace and made several strong runs, any of which could have produced goals. He had one clear cut opening himself, but scuffed the ball straight at goalkeeper Gabor Kiraly.
Yakubu had the best chance of the first half when put through by Tuncay, but his effort was pushed away by Kiraly.
Boro dominated the opening 40 minutes, but then lost their composure in the lead-up to the interval. The Clarets took advantage to take the lead when Andy Gray scored from close range in the 44th minute.
Southgate made the first of a series of wholesale changes at the interval, with Lee Cattermole and Morrison coming on and both making a big impact.
Morrison took his goal well, rounding Kiraly to shoot into an empty net in the 54th minute following good work by Fabio Rochemback and Yakubu.
Rochemback made a big impression in the middle and must have a good chance of starting the season in the team.
Southgate left the back five largely untouched for much of the game, with Chris Riggott and David Wheater working well together at centre back.
Andrew Davies and Andrew Taylor were solid at full back, though Davies is now looking over his shoulders as a result of Boro agreeing a deal with Charlton Athletic for right-back Luke Young.
Ross Turnbull displayed a safe pair of hands in goal, though with Mark Schwarzer and Brad Jones due to return from Australia duty at the end of the week, he also faces a major challenge to keep his place.
Elsewhere, the kids had a chance to stake their claim in the closing stages of the Turf Moor game.
Few did better than winger Graeme Owens, who was very lively on the left in the second half and indicated he has made massive strides during the past 12 months.
Overall, Boro played well at times, and not too well at others. You wouldn't want to expound their chances of making an impact in the Premiership on the strength of this performance, and you couldn't.
In any case, five likely regulars - Schwarzer, Woodgate, Pogatetz, Julio Arca and Stewart Downing - were all missing.
But, with Tuncay staying on the flanks for the 64 minutes he was on the pitch, the need for another front runner who can score goals was obvious. Southgate has less than 40 days to fill the void.
Burnley (4-4-2): Kiraly; Duff, Foster, Caldwell (Thomas 64), Harley; Elliott (Mahon 64), Gudjonsson (O'Connor 46), McCann (Spicer 46), Jones (Berisha 46); Akinbiyi (Jordan 73), Lafferty (Gray 15, Rodriquez 84).
Boro (4-4-2): Turnbull; Davies, Riggott, Wheater, Taylor (Bates 68, Walker 76); Tuncay (Owens 64), Rochemback (Kennedy 76), Boateng (Cattermole 46), Johnson (Morrison 46); Yakubu (Craddock 64), Aliadiere (Euell 64).Referee: Jonathan Moss (West Yorks).

Everything is Facebook in the future!
So today is the big day when all the PS4 reviews are coming out and just as I expected from the Kotaku review it got a resounding "Not Yet." Really what more was there to expect? The new hardware is cool but most of the titles are updated ports of last gen games so there isn't much to really compare other than if it looks nicer. While the almighty journalists have been enjoying the PS4 for the past few days the rest of us can get our plebeian hands on it this Friday while the Xbox One comes out the Friday after.
Just about every generation of video games is known for something big that happened, Last-gen will be remembered as the one where online gaming became king and video games more or less became mainstream. The gen-before that planted those seeds, the one before brought 3D graphics to the world, and so on. But I'm curious about what this gen will bring to the table. The games will certainly look nicer but that I doubt that will be the major spark of this gen. So that leaves the other big name feature of the XBO, PS4, and less significantly the Wii U... Social Networking.
Don't quote me on this but Social Networking did exist in its infancy back when the last-gen first started. When the PS3, Xbox, and Wii, came on the scene though they were more or less straight gaming machines that could also play DVD/Blu-Rays if you wanted to. Now fast forward a few years. Everyone has an iPhone, Twitter, Facebook, Netflix, and so on. Your Xbox now has limited Facebook and Skype functionality. Netflix can be streamed from your computer, to your Playstation, to your toaster, and everything in between. The consoles of last gen didnt have social networking in mind when they were first developed but they sure tried to jump on the wave as it passed.
This time around though Social Networking is one of if not the main features of our new consoles. Send pictures, videos, invites, likes, recommendations, right from your controller without ever needing to leave the game. Go check your fantasy stats/stocks/weather/friends status all while driving your virtual car. Hell, you can watch movie trailers WHILE you watch a movie. Now we even have apps for our smartphones so we can see what games our friends are playing even when we aren't at home. I can't tell if I'm looking at the PS4 home screen or my Facebook feed anymore. Is this what the future holds in store for us? If so I don't like it one bit.
Perhaps I'm just being cynical. I'm not exactly the biggest fan or social networking and am definitely not the target audience for most of these new features. I like the built in-recording features but not much else beyond that. I know there are a lot of people out there who do enjoy tweeting every other minute and seem to have a biological need to know what their friends are doing at all times and I'm sure they'll get a kick out of the new systems but where is the big new feature for those of us who don't care about that stuff?
I won't be getting a PS4 or Xbox One anytime soon. Perhaps in a year or so when they pick up some games or the old systems are phased out I'll hop on the next-gen ship but for now I don't particularly care for the shiny new functions of the next gen systems. What say you? Are you excited about all the social networking in these consoles? Is your vision of the future different from mine? Will you be picking up a new system at launch? Let me know.

Running for: 11th District Representative
Occupation: Retired
MAUI TIME WEEKLY: Why should people vote for you?
TONY FISHER: More than
anything, because of my many years of life experience. I was in the
computer industry my entire career. Not as a techie, but as a sales
manager. I was also a Data Processing instructor at Glendale College,
and I teach AARP drivers safety here on Maui. My main thing is
experience. I've accomplished a lot of things.
What's the biggest problem facing your district?
Education. But there are equal issues. We have an enormous senior
population in South Maui facing problems of elder abuse and consumer
fraud. Property tax reform is another one.
What do you intend to do about this?
The Legislature has the responsibility to write legislation to fix
these things. I've written legislation—the COMET reform and an
ordinance pushing for auto insurance discounts. As far as education,
I'd like to peel Maui County away from the rest of the state education
system and evaluate whether more local control would get better
results. I want to de-centralize school administration.
What are your feelings on Hawaiian Sovereignty?
I'm a fan of Hawaiian Sovereignty. We're never going back to 1893,
but there has to be some sovereignty given to people of Hawaiian
ancestry. Though I'm not sure how to do that. I have mixed feelings on
the Akaka bill, and the last thing I want to see are Hawaiians on
Okay, what do you think of when I say the word "Superferry?"
Great idea, probably being poorly implemented.
How about George W. Bush?
He's due the respect of any President of the United States. Like any president, he's probably made some mistakes in office.
Land Development?
I'm neither a "let the developers do what they want" person or a "never build another house" person.
Wonderful! It's how I came here the first time. But the economy
needs to be augmented by a high-tech process of industry. I'd like to
see a Maui tech center, where thousands could work technical jobs.
What's the most difficult thing that ever happened to you?
Going to college full-time while working two jobs.
What's the last book you read?
Short Stories by John Curry, the president of Northeastern
University, where I went to school. He's an old friend of mine, and his
stories mention many of the streets and people I knew growing up.
What's your favorite thing about Maui?
That's a hard question because the list is so long! More than
anything else, it's the Aloha spirit. I grew up in Boston and lived in
Southern California, and I prefer it here, doing things slow. I love
the pace of life. It really is the greatest place in the world. MTW

Not only limited to footwear that protects the foot. Types of men's shoe models have now become part of fashion that can reflect one's lifestyle. Therefore, some people often adjust shoes to needs or events.
Several types of men's shoe models can be chosen according to their tastes and needs. For those of you who like trendy, sporty looks, you can use sneakers for several occasions.
