Can't get health insurance, can't get car financing, 524,000 jobs lost last month in the US… our first week living in America has been tough! All I want to do is escape to Paris and stay here:
Mama Shelter: a new, affordable, boutique hotel in Paris's chic 20th arrondissement designed by Phillipe Starck. Instead of the typical hotel TV, each room comes equipped with a 24 inch iMac. Talk about a new generation of hotels! My friend Jules wants to go to have a gin and tonic here…I'm not sure which bar we'd prefer to drink in:
Island Bar:
"An Island bar for ladies and gentleman longing for a more fused world with the help of concoctions prepared by our team of bartenders."
Chic Chic Bar:
"A chichi, thoughtful bar, perfect for lovers of deep, melancholic conversations."
I thought those descriptions were hilarious, one of the creators of Mama Shelter is French philosopher, Cyril Aouizerate.

Love that quote - it's so true!ReplyDelete
That quote is just beautiful :-)ReplyDelete

Thank you! Great post! Interesting observation I made lately is that some conversations with Him are short like Nehemiah in Nehemiah 2 while other's are long like Jesus and His multiple all night prayers. Also in any relationship conversation is mandatory. You wouldn't expect a husband and wife; parent and child; siblings; or even best friends to keep their relationship without talking, but so many go days and day without talking to the Lord who created them. Then there are others that talk and talk and never listen through study of His words.ReplyDelete
Another great blessing! Even we as Christians sometimes forget that it's not all about having a well rehearsed prayer.it's about having a prayer life. Just talk!'ReplyDelete
Beautiful quote :)ReplyDelete

THanks for sharing!ReplyDelete

Today was the culmination of the mathematical testing triad. I got 10/10 in the spelling test and came joint top in the maths! Perhaps I'm not a dunce after all and all those hours spent in the corner with the conical headpiece were wasted.
Yet again it was Sham day. We walked home and at the traffic lights, were again surprised by an elderly driver who attempted to kill us by running the red light. Yesterday it was an old Codger, today an old Ratbag, but when you're kissing the fender of a Ford Escort it doesn't really matter.
We got 2 and a half hours of advanced Minecrafting while Bud thoughtfully stayed out of the way, cleaning the garage in blatant displacement activity. At the moment we are killing pigs to get emeralds to pay for armour to fight the Ender-Dragon to get the egg. After supper I finished the entire Beastly book in one go. Incidentally, today Bud crashed a pallet truck into the fire alarm, destroying it and evacuating the building.

These are the fundamental principles, Coulter explained, you must grasp before you will worry about acquiring an agent, and dive overly deeply to the book.

" On top of that, listen to how your the full sounds — "If you actually wouldn't point out something out loud, then no more write the theory. All you've got to do is normally read the product aloud, and therein is definitely the truth. well Coulter additional in that practically nothing any of us distribute is set through stone : you're are usually tear up the bad products, and start from the beginning.
2nd. Avoid extra words pertaining to "said, inches wide and avoid redundancies.
Reduce "She joked. " "He quipped. inches wide "Damn that you simply hell, he / she yelled deeply. " Realizing that Coulter claimed, it's very much like http://nativeenglishwriter.com/ writing, "I'm sorry, he apologized. micron You don't need the numerous excess reflection fat. You would like to be since straightforward being possible. Coulter believed every time you utilize a substitute for "said, " a person blinks : and might pulled the dog out of the landscape. Instead, you desire constant advance. "Never allow him to escape combined with weak producing…. You've got to self confidence yourself which will what the results say are going to indicate simply what this type of are thinking and feeling. well

Update from the GM
Welcome to the Summer edition of LCU's Newsletter. We hope you had a very happy and relaxing Christmas/New Year break. I want to take this opportunity to update our members on an important change to LCU members' usage of rediATMs.
Over the last 12 months there have been significant changes in the provision of ATMs in Australia. LCU members now have free access to over 10,000 ATMs Australia wide, including those operated by the "big 4" banks (Commonwealth Bank, ANZ, Westpac and NAB). Furthermore, a number of mutual financial institutions have already made the decision, or will in the near future, to leave the rediATM network. This trend is expected to continue as the network diminishes and access to these machines become more difficult.
For this reason, LCU has made the decision to leave the rediATM network. Effective from 20 March 2019, rediATMs will no longer be fee-free to use with an LCU VISA Debit card. Members who use a rediATM after this date may be charged a fee by the operator of the ATM. Over the coming months we will provide you with more information as the cut-off time approaches.
I would also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge one of our dedicated staff members who retired during the year. Rhonda Hatton retired from her position as Loans Officer after 22 years of service to LCU and plans to relocate shortly to the NSW North Coast. From everyone at LCU we wish Rhonda and her husband Peter the very best for a happy and healthy retirement.
I would also like to introduce two new staff members. Theresa Luzon has been working at LCU since August as a Member Service Officer, and Tejas Daulat also started with LCU in late August as a Loans Officer.
By now many of you would be using the LCU - Banking App and I hope you are finding it to be convenient and user-friendly. Please contact any of the staff if you have any questions about the App, and we appreciate any feedback that our members would like to offer.
Finally I would like to mention the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking and Financial Services Industry. I, like most people, was appalled at the revelation (of which no credit union or mutual bank was involved), but our industry is focussed now on the recommendations that will come out of the Royal Commission and the implications for small financial institutions. Our industry association, the Customer Owned Banking Association or COBA, supports an approach to regulatory policy that aims to achieve regulation that is proportionate to the risk, size and complexity of the entity and avoid a one-size-fits-all approach to regulation. In COBA's submission to the Royal Commission, they made some very pertinent comments about the mutual sector:
- The culture of a banking institution is the most important factor driving consumer outcomes, in particular whether or not there is a culture of pursuing ever-increasing returns to shareholders;
- The core proposition of the customer-owned model is that each customer is an equal owner of the business and the business only exists to serve its customers; and
- Credit Unions, Mutual Banks and Building Societies have always existed to put people before profits – we are profit-making not profit-maximising.
LCU is a signatory to the Customer Owned Banking Code of Practice and this includes the following key promises:
We will be fair and ethical in our dealings with you
We will focus on our customers;
We will deliver high customer service and standards; and
We will recognise our customers' rights as owners.

It's that time of year again when clues for I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! are dropping thick and fast.
Network Ten hinted there are some very familiar names in the mix this year, from a famous DJ to a "blonde bombshell" and a television megastar.
Do you know one of the I'm A Celeb contestants or have a tip-off? Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
The Living Room's Miguel Maestre is the first star to officially be confirmed to be heading into the South African jungle and speculation as to who will be joining him has already begun.
After Gogglebox fan-favourites Adam Densten and Symon Lovett quit their gigs after five years, it wasn't long before fans started questioning if they were swapping the couches for South Africa.
It's a likely possibility, given their former Gogglebox co-stars Angie Kent and Yvie Jones made the same move last year.
WATCH: Gogglebox's Symon and Adam spark speculation they're joining I'm a Celeb. Story continues below...
Fans are also convinced US star Lindsay Lohan will be making an appearance after a clue described a future jungle-dweller as "an international party animal" who "likes to prove her critics wrong".
Also in the mysterious line-up is an Australian comedian as well as a football legend, with popular guesses including Have You Been Paying Attention? stars Sam Pang or Ed Kavalee.
Australian Survivor stars Simon Black and Shaun Hampson are among those who fans think could be the "AFL legend" taking part.
The summer favourite reality TV show is set to be once again hosted by Dr Chris Brown and Julia Morris and will again be filmed in the South African jungle.
So when exactly will it return to screens? Well according to Network Ten, the season premiere date is slated for Sunday, January 5 at 7.30pm.
I'm A Celeb's sixth season will broadcast five nights a week and feature your favourite celebrities competing in wild challenges and tucker trials for their chance to win $100,000 for their chosen charity.

Saturday, 20 March 2004
We left Wellington at 14:00 and are currently sailing towards the experimental site centered at approximately 48°S, 173°E. The weather couldn't be better.
There is still much work to be done to prepare everything for the experiment, so there is still much activity on board.
As the captain, Roger Goodison, surveyed the back of the ship with all the containers, tanks, and scaffolding, he was heard to remark that it was like sailing a building site!

Inexpensive Flowers for Weddings
Trying to throw a wedding on the cheap can be difficult, especially if you want a lot of flowers. Choosing inexpensive flowers is one way to cut costs. The easiest way to do this is to always choose flowers that are in season. That way your florist won't have to have them shipped from another country, so the cost is cut dramatically. There are also some flowers that are inexpensive all year long.
No matter what month your wedding is scheduled for, the carnation is an inexpensive flower choice. Carnations produce medium-sized blooms with several layers of petals. They come in a variety of shades, so your florist should be able to match the flowers with your wedding colors. If you want to use a more expensive flower for your bouquets, consider pairing them with some carnations to create a larger bouquet that costs less money.
Baby's Breath
Baby's breath is a common flower that is used as filler in wedding bouquets, centerpieces, and other arrangements. This flower produces lots of small, white blooms on long stems. Use it in combination with another inexpensive wedding flower to create an attractive, but inexpensive, floral design. Baby's breath is in season all year.
Although they are most commonly seen in the fall, chrysanthemums are actually in season year-round. Most varieties produce blooms with lots of layers of petals, although the size and color depending on the variety you choose. Talk to your florist about color choices and whether you should go with a large or small chrysanthemum.
The stock plant produces small, colorful flowers that are often used as fillers in wedding bouquets and arrangements. The blooms look like small clusters of flowers on a single stem. Most have a yellow or green center. These flowers are available in many different colors, such as pink, yellow and white. They are also in season year-round.
Peruvian Lilies
While lilies are often expensive wedding flowers, you can trick everyone into thinking you have lilies if you use the Peruvian lily, which is also known as the alstroemeria. This flower produces lily-like flowers in white, pink, orange, purple and yellow shades, so it can suit many different wedding color schemes. These flowers are available and in season all year long.
How to make your own bouquet of flowers
Besides If you are trying to save money or simply want a more hands-on approach to your wedding, you can make your own bouquet of flowers, as well as the bouquets of your bridesmaids and any other guests of honor. These bouquets can be put together hours before the wedding to free the bride to prepare her hair and make-up and put on her dress. Practice in advance, with extra flowers, to become familiar with the flowers and the process.
- Pick your flowers from the place they are growing or pick them up from the local florist, the morning of the wedding.
- Place the flowers in a vase with water and put the vase in a cool location, out of the sun until you are ready to prepare the bouquets, at least a few hours before the wedding.
- Pull the flowers from the vase and blot them dry with a towel.
- Strip the flowers of any excess foliage, thorns or other roughage. If you want greenery in your bouquet, leave a few leaves on the top, near the blooms. Use the scissors to clip off any excess greenery, instead of pulling on the stems and potentially breaking them.
- Pull together the flowers stems together, bunching them together into a cylinder shape in your hand. This should create a round, half-spherical shape of the blooms. Pull the middle blooms higher and the side blooms lower, to create the rounded shape in the blooms.
- Add any additional greenery by setting leaves' stems or other accessories against the side of the steam cylinder, pushing the leaves up under the half-sphere of the blooms.
- Tie together the bouquet with a rubber band or a piece of floral tape, near the base of the blooms and the top of the stems.
- Cut the bottom of the stems so they are uniform and even.
- Place the end of the ribbon over the top of the rubber band or tape, covering it. Secure it with a pin.
- Wrap the ribbon around the stems, tightly, moving down the stem and covering all the tape.
- Fold the ribbon over the bottom or just continue wrapping, moving back up the stems, once you reach the bottom.
- Cut the end of the ribbon and secure it with a pin, at the top of the stems.
- Leave the bouquet in a cool place, in the vase until the wedding. If the bottom of the stems is exposed, you can place a wet towel at the bottom of the vase to keep the stems moist. Be careful to wet only the exposed stems, not the ribbon.
- Dry the stems of any water or moisture before handing to the bride or other wedding party members.
How to Make Cheap Inexpensive Flowers for Weddings
You also could Make Cheap Wedding Centerpieces Using Jars. You can use everyday jars to make cheap wedding centerpieces that are unique and beautiful if you follow these simple steps.
Instructions How to Make Cheap Wedding Centerpieces Using Jars
- First, start collecting your jars and tell your friends and family to do the same. Your cheap wedding centerpieces will be unique and memorable if you use a variety of sizes, shapes, and heights, so save everything from mayonnaise jars to baby food jars! Glass is preferable as it looks nicer than plastic.
- Second, you'll need to peel off the labels. Try a solution that's half vinegar and half water, or purchase some product from your home improvement store – it's usually very affordable. Spray it on the label, let it soak for several minutes, and then use a straight edge to peel off the glue.
- Third, you want to wrap the neck of the jar with some wide and festive ribbon or trim. Try your fabric supply store for the best choices. You want your cheap wedding centerpieces to look as professional as possible, so use ribbon that's wide enough to cover the entire neck. Also, make sure that the length of the ribbon flows to the table.
- Fourth, you'll need to fill the jars with chocolate kisses, colorful candies, or fresh flowers. Flowers are best to dress up cheap wedding centerpieces but they can be pricey, so consider using "filler" items such as baby's breath, ferns, and other stems. If you use flowers, you should probably transport them to the reception area empty and then fill them with the water and flowers.
- Fifth, practice grouping your jars before your wedding. Play with the different heights and sizes to see what looks better, and make sure that you coordinate your flowers and greens between the jars so everything looks pulled together.
Happy wedding day!

How to Select the Best Landscape Designer
It is common for home owners to trim their lawns and water their gardens for an appealing look. One can also seek the services of a landscaper to give the garden a lift. However, the decision of which contractor to hire is usually tough because there are many yellow pages and advertisements claiming to be the best. To avoid hiring unqualified people, here are tips for choosing the best landscape contractor.
Define what you want to be done in your garden. obtain images of gardens you like from various sources. Put down a sketch of your lawn in paper , including the desired structures from your head. Take the design to the landscape contractor and see what they have to say.
Check references. Hear suggestions from people in your social circle about a contractor whose services are proficient. A qualified company can give references for you to consult and confirm that they can deliver quality services. The internet is a good place to obtain vital information about a company.
Inquire about the certifications and accreditation of a landscaping contractor. People hire the most skilled personnel to work on projects around their homes. Ask to see certificates to support their skills. Further confirming that the contractor is always taking note of new developments in the field is vital. Engaging a contractor who has been in business for longer is a good idea because they have more expertise in the craft.
Make a financial forecast. Even before you go shopping for a landscape designer, knowing that you can't exceed a certain price limit is very crucial. When you set up a meeting with a number of contractors you will get varied offers depending on the level of business operation. It is best to hire a designer who can give comprehensive details on the price quotation. An instance, is where the company shows you the source of variance compared to the prices of other companies.
Find out if the contractor has the right insurance and warranty. Accidents are bound to happen even when you hire the most trained personnel. Consider the services of a contractor who has a good liability cover for your home. An insurance cover enables adequate compensation in the event of an accident. Ascertain if the company provides a warranty for their services. Find out what instances make a warranty functional and those that disqualify a warranty situation.
Gauge the work ethics of the company's staff. When determining what company to hire, see if the personnel are eager to work with you. You definitely want someone who listens keenly and empathetically to put your ideas into action. Find out if the person can actually relate to your personality instead of throwing your ideas under the bus. Be keen to work with a polite and courteous person to make the experience more enjoyable.
Why No One Talks About Gardeners Anymore

text: Globalization (or globalisation; see spelling differences) is the increasing interaction of people, states, or countries through the growth of the international flow of money, ideas, and culture. Globalization is primarily an economic process of integration that has social and cultural aspects. It involves goods and services, and the economic resources of capital, technology, and data.12 The steam locomotive, steamship, jet engine, and container ships are some of the advances in the means of transport while the rise of thetelegraph and its modern offspring, the Internet and mobile phones show development in telecommunications infrastructure. All of these improvements we enjoy in the modern era have been major factors in globalization and have generated further interdependence of economic and cultural activities.345Though many scholars place the origins of globalization in modern times, others trace its history long before the European Age of Discovery and voyages to the New World, some even to the third millennium BC.67 Large-scale globalization began in the 1820s.8 In the late 19th century and early 20th century, the connectivity of the world's economies and cultures grew very quickly. The term globalization is recent, only establishing its current meaning in the 1970s.9In 2000, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) identified four basic aspects of globalization: trade and transactions, capital and investment movements, migration and movement of people, and the dissemination of knowledge.10 Further, environmental challenges such as global warming, cross-boundary water, air pollution, and over-fishing of the ocean are linked with globalization.11 Globalizing processes affect and are affected by business and work organization, economics, socio-cultural resources, and the natural environment. Academic literature commonly subdivides globalization into three major areas: economic globalization, cultural globalization, and political globalization.12

I don't think I've met a potato I didn't like and potatoes mixed with sour cream, cheese and bacon…AMAZING! I feel terrible that my husband and I have been together for nearly 6 years and I've never introduced him to twice baked potatoes. Luckily I just happened to have all the ingredients in the fridge and inspiration hit. Now I have to prevent myself from making these all the time. They were just so good. I hope you enjoy.
- 2 potatoes
- 3-4 strips of bacon
- Cheese – I used a handful of shredded sharp cheddar, a handful of shredded mozzarella and 1 tbsp grated parmesan
- 3 tbsp Sour cream
- Large knob of butter
- Pinch of salt and pepper
1. Start by baking 2 potatoes inthe oven for 1 hour at 350 F or 175 C. Turn half way through. If you are in a hurry you could microwave the potatoes but there really is no substitute for the roasted flavor you get from the skins of an oven baked potato. Also, the crispy skin helps keep the potatoes intact when you core them of their flesh.
2. While the potatoes are baking you can chop up the bacon and crisp up in a medium heat pan. Put aside.
3. Cut the potatoes in half and using a teaspoon (the tableware kind not the measuring kind) to core the flesh out of the potatoes and into a medium sized bowl. Leave enough around the edge to keep the skin together.
4. Add the rest of the ingredients into the bowl with the potatoes and mash with a fork or a potato masher.
5. Place the pototato skins on a baking tray, stuff with the mixture and top with more cheese. I topped mine with a bit more cheddar.
6. Place back in the oven until cheese has melted. Top with bacon and serve hot.

Managing shipping vessel profitability is a central problem in marine transportation. We consider two commonly used types of vessels—"liners" (ships whose routes are fixed in advance) and "trampers" (ships for which future route components are selected based on available shipping jobs)—and formulate a vessel profit maximization problem as a stochastic dynamic program. For liner vessels, the profit maximization reduces to the problem of minimizing refueling costs over a given route subject to random fuel prices and limited vessel fuel capacity. Under mild assumptions about the stochastic dynamics of fuel prices at different ports, we provide a characterization of the structural properties of the optimal liner refueling policies. For trampers, the vessel profit maximization combines refueling decisions and route selection, which adds a combinatorial aspect to the problem. We characterize the optimal policy in special cases where prices are constant through time and do not differ across ports and prices are constant through time and differ across ports. The structure of the optimal policy in such special cases yields insights on the complexity of the problem and also guides the construction of heuristics for the general problem setting.

We present a diagnostically challenging case of a 22-year old female with short stature and recurrent admissions with severe hypokalaemia, hypocalcaemia and hypomagnesaemia since infancy.
Case: Our patient was born at 38 weeks gestation following a pregnancy complicated by intrauterine growth restriction since 28 weeks. She had low birthweight of 2.4 kg and significantly shorter length and lower head circumference than expected. Mild dysmorphic features of frontal bossing, microphthalmia and mid-facial hypoplasia were evident. Both parents were unrelated, healthy Caucasians of average height.
Her childhood was complicated by growth failure despite normal stimulated GH and IGF-1 levels. Baseline IGF-1 was low at 24 ng/ml. Skeletal surveys showed gracile bones, oligodontia with hypoplastic mandibular condyles and a j-shaped sella. MRI pituitary was normal. She had three trials of GH therapy in childhood which complicated high hypermetropia with macular oedema and visual worsening.
Since infancy, the patient has suffered recurrent and resistant hypocalcaemia, hypomagnesaemia and hypokalaemia requiring frequent hospitalisation. Biochemistry confirms persistent hypoparathyroidism and renal magnesium and potassium loss. Calcium: creatinine ratio, renin and aldosterone were normal. She is treated with alfacalcidol 1 microgram daily and varying doses of calcium carbonate, magnesium and potassium replacement.
An encompassing diagnosis was difficult to achieve, until at the age of 21 years, genomic sequencing confirmed a de-novo heterozygous c.1706G>A transition in the FAM111A gene diagnostic of Kenny-Caffey Syndrome 2.
Kenny- Caffey Syndrome 2 (KCS2): KCS2 is extremely rare with less than 60 cases reported in the English literature. The function of the associated FAM111A gene product isnt fully known but seems to have a fundamental role in bone growth and parathyroid hormone regulation. There is consensus that hypoparathyroidism drives hypocalcaemia but this does not explain the recurrent hypomagnesaemia and hypokalaemia seen in our patient. Further research of the FAM111A gene is needed to better understand this disease presentation.

The European Commission has finally officially confirmed that it will make the Mediterranean route in a pan-European freight train network a priority, although it also committed itself to the other Spanish routes that the current Madrid government wanted (read article in Catalan here, El Punt-Avui). While the EC won't spend money building a line through the Pyrenees, which was the suggested continuation of the central route to pass through Madrid and Zaragoza. "Not everything has to pass through the centre," said the Euro Commissioner for Transport, Siim Kallas; he dismissed the plan for the central route as being "unrealistic" and "extremely expensive", as well as "worrying for the environment and security". However, the EC's plan is for the Mediterranean line to split at Tarragona; while one branch will then continue down the coast to Almeria (not stopping at Cartagena) and on to Sevilla via an inland route through Granda, the other branch will run to Zaragoza and Madrid—ie. following part of the central route that the Spanish government had promoted—arriving at Algeciras via Cordoba. As such, the final version, which should make all parties happy, will see products arriving from north Africa at the French border having passed through both Barcelona and Madrid.
The ratings agency Moody's has reduced its rating for Catalan long-term debt, as well as for that of eight other Spanish autonomous communities (read article in Castilian here, La Vanguardia). In addition, Moody's has reduced the rating for two Basque provinces, three public companies and five public institutions, all between one or two grades and giving them all negative future prospects. Of this series of downgrades, one that stands out is that concerning the debt of Castilla La Mancha, whose rating fell from A3 to Ba2, giving it the qualification of 'junk bond', according to a press release from the agency. This move comes scarcely 24 hours after the reduction from Aa2 to A1 of Spanish sovereign debt, which was also given negative future prospects, due to the vulnerability of the country to market tensions and the forecasts of moderate economic growth in the future.
The Spanish government has still not paid the Generalitat the €759 million that the prime minister, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, promised to Catalan president Artur Mas at a meeting in February this year (read article in Castilian here, La Vanguardia). This money, which has been owed to Catalunya since 2008, is to cover pending investment in local infrastructure. The Generalitat is counting on the money as income for 2011 but has yet to see it, according to a report this morning on the radio station RAC1. The February 7th meeting was the only one that the two leaders have had, and one of the few commitments that Zapatero made to Mas during the encounter was the payment of this outstanding debt; the fact that the transfer of money has not been made has been given as one of the reasons that the Generalitat has been unable to prepare its 2012 budget, because it doesn't know whether it will have this money available.

7 Ways Your Relationship Issues Affect Your Kid
Children look to their parents to set examples for how to navigate through life. Everything from manners to making dinner is a chance for adults to model good habits and decision making. But even the parts of your life you may think you're kids are unaware of can make an impression on them. If things are rocky with you and your partner, there are many ways your relationship issues affect your kids. Even though they're small, children are very intuitive, and can pick up on the negative vibes coursing through the grown ups in their life. So if you think your smiling face is hiding something from your little ones, you'll need to think twice.
Kids are always watching and listening, picking up everything adults are laying down. This means when there is tension in the house, they feel it too. These emotions can be confusing for little ones, and if they don't feel comfortable coming to you to talk about the situations, they may start to display some behaviors that tip you off to how they're feeling.
All relationships go through phases, and if you're in a rough patch right now, you'll want to keep your eyes peeled for these seven ways your relationship issues affect your kids, so you can help the whole family work through this tough spot.
1. They Learn To Argue
Sometimes there is no perfect time to argue, and a fight pops up when the kids are watching. According to Kids Health, children should see fighting adults make up because it gives them a good example of conflict resolution. But even more importantly, it teaches them that arguments don't mean two people don't love each other anymore. Making up and moving on shows kids that even though disagreements happen, there is a way to mend those problems.
2. They Feel Guilty
When adults aren't getting along, things can get confusing for kids. As Psychology Today pointed out, kids often feel guilty when their parents fight, and feel it is their responsibility to be the peacekeeper in the house. Children tend to place the blame on themselves and feel responsible for their caregiver's problems.
3. They Start To Withdraw
Depending on their emotional disposition, problems between the adults in their life could cause kids to shut down. As researcher Dr. Gordon Harold reported to ABC News, "a child reacting to parental fighting may be withdrawn or quiet," and it's possible that you could miss this as a sign they need your attention.
4. Depression & Anxiety Increase
The exposure to ongoing conflict between parents can bring on some serious conditions. It may not happen right away, but over time kids who live in a home with fighting parents tend to show more signs of anxiety and depression than children exposed to less adult conflict, according to U.S. News and World Report.
5. Problems Spill Over To School
When emotional problems arise for kids, it's common for the effects to show up in places outside the home. According to Psych Central, witnessing fighting parents can cause kids to have a hard time regulating their emotions, which can show up in classroom behavior.
6. They Become Fearful
Depending on their age, children may react differently to adult conflict. As the New York Times pointed out, young children are more likely to feel scared when adults don't get along. This can lead to these children being excessively worried about expressing their own anger when that emotion shows up.
7. It Changes Their Brain
Conflict in the home has been shown to change the ways a child's brain processes emotions. According to a study at the University of Vermont, children who live in a home where there is consistent exposure to fighting have a different brain response to emotions than kids who experience low levels of familial conflict. Researchers believe this is due to an increased level of vigilance.

Republicans release tax plan, cutting corporate, middle-class taxes
WASHINGTON — Republican lawmakers unveiled the most sweeping rewrite of the tax code in decades on Thursday, outlining a $1.51 trillion plan to cut taxes for corporations, reduce them for some middle-class families and tilt the United States closer, but not entirely, toward the kind of tax system long championed by businesses.
The House plan, released after weeks of internal debate, conflict and delay, is far from final and immediately ignited a legislative and lobbying fight as business groups, special interests and Democrats began tearing into the text ahead of a Republican sprint to get the legislation passed and to President Trump's desk by Christmas.
"With this plan, we are making pro growth reforms, so that yes, America can compete with the rest of the world," said House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.
But Republicans from high-tax states like New York and New Jersey said the bill will need to change to gain their support. Meanwhile, powerful trade groups representing the real estate industry and small businesses blasted the bill as ineffective and harmful to Americans.
"Contrary to their assertions, the Republicans are picking winners and losers," said Jerry Howard, chief executive of the National Association of Home Builders. "They are picking rich Americans and corporations over small businesses and the middle class."
Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, said that the plan had the "full support" of Trump and predicted that it would be on his desk this year. Anticipating the resistance from industry groups, Brady said: "We're going to prove them wrong once and for all."
Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Ill., the top tax writer on the Ways and Means Committee, said he was braced for the lobbyist onslaught and would not be deterred.
"We've just finished the opening ceremonies of the lobbyist Olympics. My phone has all kinds messages and there are all kinds of criticisms," he said. "The notion of just defending the status quo is insufferable and we're not going to do it."
The bill is estimated to cost $1.51 trillion over a decade. Lawmakers must keep the cost of the bill to $1.5 trillion if they want to pass it along party lines and avoid a filibuster by Democrats.
The plan establishes three tax brackets, 12 percent, 25 percent and 35 percent, and also keeps a top rate of 39.6 percent for the highest-earners, collapsing the total number of brackets from seven. The brackets fall along the following lines:
Those making up to $24,000 will pay no income tax. For married taxpayers filing jointly, those earning up to $90,000 will be in the 12 percent bracket; those earning up to $260,000 will in the 25 percent bracket and those earning up to $1 million would fall in the 35 percent bracket. Those making above $1 million will be in the 39.6 percent bracket, which is currently the top rate for millionaires. For unmarried individuals and those filing separately, the bracket thresholds would be half of these amounts, other than the 35 percent bracket, which would be $200,000 for unmarried individuals.
After much nail-biting debate, the House will not make any changes to the pretax treatment of 401(k) plans.

Nearly 70 extra weekly bus services will be rolled out in the region's suburbs from Monday.
Transport and Infrastructure minister Andrew Constance has announced passengers will also soon benefit from new buses.
From next week, 69 extra services will run in growing areas, including Glendale and Cameron Park.
Thirty of those will run en route 263 from Cameron Park to Charlestown, 34 are for route 267 from West Wallsend to the University of Newcastle, and the other five services will operate on route 268 from Killingworth to Glendale via Edgeworth.
They are among more than 500 extra weekly services that are beginning in the city and Sydney.
By the end of June, two new air-conditioned ''growth'' buses will be delivered to service routes around Cameron Park, Green Hills and Glendale.
They will also be wheelchair accessible.
Another 23 buses to replace ageing vehicles in the Newcastle fleet will be on their way after July, and run on routes in Belmont, Wallsend, Sandgate and Newcastle.
Mr Constance said the government was providing extra services in those suburbs ''where passengers are voting with their feet, and demand is expected to grow."
"This is all about giving Newcastle residents more choice to use even better public transport,'' Mr Constance said.
The buses were funded in the June state budget.

Renowned physicist Stephen Hawking savoured weightlessness, flipping in the air after years of being able to make only tiny facial movements.
"Space, here I come", Hawking said yesterday after a two-hour jet flight that creates 25-second bursts of weightlessness for passengers by making parabolic plunges.
The Zero Gravity Corporation jet in Florida made eight dives for Hawking, 65, who suffers from motor neuron disease. During two he made two flips.
"It was amazing," he said. "I could have gone on and on."

And good practical advice on how to keep your body and mind beautifully balanced is fundamental to us all.
That's why we have teamed up with Dr Chris Pickard a renowned health practitioner who is determined to help keep your spine in line
a bit about DR CHRIS

Dr Chris explains why back pain is such an important problem and what you can do on a daily basis to get rid of back pain and stay beautifully balanced.
We asked Dr Chris for a beginners guide to back pain.
He gave us 5 easy ways to keep your spine in-line and help speed up recovery.
See his helpful tips below!
1. Bridges
The Gluteus Maximus is the large muscle of the buttocks. It's one of the strongest muscles in the body. It's responsible for movement at the hip, including hip extension activities like squats.
Weakness in the gluteus muscles can contribute to back pain. This is because they're important stabilisers of the hip joints and lower back during movements like walking.
Muscles worked: Gluteus Maximus
- Lie on the ground with your feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart.
- With your hands by your sides, press your feet into the floor as you slowly lift your buttocks off the ground until your body is in one straight line. Keep your shoulders on the floor.
- Lower down. Rest for 1 minute.
- Repeat 15 times.
- Perform 3 sets.
2. Drawing-in manoeuvre
The Transverse Abdominis is the muscle that wraps around the midline. It helps support the spine and abdomen.
It's important for stabilising the spinal joints and preventing injury during movement.
Muscles worked: Transverse Abdominis
- Lie on the ground with your feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart.
- Relax your hands by your sides.
- Take a deep inhale. Breathe out and pull your belly button in toward your spine, engaging your abdominal muscles without tilting your hips.
- Hold for 5 seconds.
- Repeat 5 times.
3. Lying lateral leg raises
The hip abductor muscles help to raise your leg to the side, away from your body. They also help support your pelvis when you're standing on one leg.
When these muscles are weak, it can affect balance and mobility. It can also cause low back pain due to instability.
Muscles worked: Gluteus Medius
- Lie on one side, keeping your lower leg slightly bent on the ground.
- Engage your core by drawing your belly button in toward your spine.
- Raise your top leg without moving the rest of your body.
- Hold for 2 seconds at the top. Repeat 10 times.
- Repeat on other side. Perform 3 sets on each side.
4. Bird Dog – Alternating Arms and Legs
Have you ever watched a bird dog on point? When they find a bird they instantly stabilise their body and stand still. From that stabilisation and active stillness, they slowly move their legs forward, one at a time. At one point in that forward progression, their front leg and opposite back leg are suspended in space.
Muscles worked: Gluteus Maximus, Erector Spinae, Lumbar Multifidus
- Begin on your hands and knees. Hands under shoulder, knees under hips
- Engage your core and lift one leg to hip height (you do not need to lift the hip any higher. That will cause compression!)
- Now lift your opposite arm to shoulder height
- Alternate side to side 5-8x
5. Partial curls
The abdominal muscles play a significant role in supporting the spine. Strong abdominal muscles can help maintain proper hip alignment. This can contribute to overall core strength and stability.
Muscles worked: Rectus Abdominus, Transverse Abdominis
- Lie on the ground with your feet flat on the floor, keeping your knees bent.
- Cross your hands over your chest.
- Take a deep breath. While you exhale, brace your abdominals by pulling your belly button in toward your spine.
- Slowly lift your shoulders off the ground a few inches. Try to keep your neck in line with your spine instead of rounding, to avoid pulling up with your neck.
- Return to starting position.
- Repeat 10 times. Perform 3 sets.

Swim: Pisces Aquathon fund-raiser a success
Recommended Video:
The Trumbull Pisces held its annual fund-raiser, the Pisces Aquathon, at Hillcrest Middle School pool on Feb. 3.
This year the Pisces had 55 swimmers participate in the event and raised over $11,000 to support the team.
During the Aquathon each swimmer completes as many laps as they can in a 60 minute session and the 55 Pisces swam 6,883 laps, which equals just under one hundred miles.
This year's funds are being used to make improvements to the Hillcrest pool, in addition to offsetting some of the expenses from the team's operating budget.
"It's remarkable to see the team spirit and sportsmanship that our swimmers bring to the pool every day," Pisces President Michael Redgate said. "The families on this team truly have Pisces Pride and always step up to help improve our team and Hillcrest facility."
Sean Yu won the team prize for raising the most money.
There were awards for the boys and girls who swam the most laps in their respective group.
Elizabeth Stoelzel (190 laps) and Rohit Gunda (190) led the Senior team.
Kristen Racicot (166) and Lucas Taormina (136) paced the the Age Group team.
Kylie Totten (108) and Nicholas Ivanovich (96) led the Black and Yellow team.

I recently had a requirement to load a large amount of data into an application, as fast as possible.
The data in question was about 100,000 transactions, stored line-by-line in a file, that needed to be sent over HTTP to a web application, that would process it and load it into a database.
This is actually pretty easy in .NET, and super efficient using async/await:
Run that through, and I get a time of 133 seconds ; this isn't too bad right? Around 750 records per second.
But I feel like I can definitely make this better. For one thing, my environment doesn't look exactly look like the diagram above. It's a scaled production environment, so looks more like this:
I've got lots of resources that I'm not using right now, because I'm only sending one request at a time, so what I want to do is start loading the data in parallel.
Let's look at a convenient way of doing this, using the System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow package, which is available for .NET Framework 4.5+ and .NET Core.
The Dataflow components provide various ways of doing asynchronous processing, but here I'm going to use the ActionBlock, which allows me to post messages that are subsequently processed by a Task, in a callback. More importantly, it let's me process messages in parallel.
Let's look at the code for my new
StreamDataInParallel method:
The great thing about Dataflow is that in only about 18 lines of code, I've got parallel processing of data, pushing HTTP requests to a server at a rate of my choice (controlled by the
maxParallel parameter).
Also, with the combination of the
SendAsync method and specifying a
BoundedCapacity, it means I'm only reading from my file when there are slots available in the buffer, so my memory consumption stays low.
I've run this a few times, increasing the number of parallel requests each time, and the results are below:
Sadly, I wasn't able to run the benchmarking tests on the production environment (for what I hope are obvious reasons), so I'm running all this locally; the number of parallel requests I can scale to is way higher in production, but it's all just a factor of total available cores and database server performance.
|Value of
|Average Records/Second
With 8 parallel requests, we get over 3000 records/second, with a time of 32 seconds to load our 100,000 records.
You'll notice that the speed does start to plateau (or at least I get diminishing returns); this will happen when we start to hit database contention (typically the main throttling factor, depending on your workload).
I'd suggest that you choose a sensible limit for how many requests you have going so you don't accidentally denial-of-service your environment; we've got to assume that there's other stuff going on at the same time.
Anyway, in conclusion, Dataflow has got loads of applications, this is just one of them that I took advantage of for my problem. So that's it, go forth and load data faster!

2 Chronicles 351And Josiah kept a Passover to the Lord his God; and sacrificed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month. 2And he appointed the priests at their charges, and encouraged them for the services of the house of the Lord. 3And he told the Levites that were able to act in all Israel, that they should consecrate themselves to the Lord. And they put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel built. And the king said, You must not carry anything on your shoulders; now then minister to the Lord your God, and to His people Israel. 4And prepare yourselves according to the houses of your families, and according to your daily courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and the order by the hand of his son Solomon. 5And stand in the house according to the divisions of the houses of your families for your brethren the sons of the people; so also let there be for the Levites a division of the house of their family. 6And kill the Passover lamb, and prepare it for your brethren, to do according to the word of the Lord, by the hand of Moses. 7And Josiah gave as an offering to the children of the people, sheep, lambs, and kids of the young of the goats, all for the Passover, even for all that were found, in number amounting to thirty thousand, and three thousand calves, these were of the substance of the king. 8And his princes gave an offering to the people, and to the priests, and to the Levites: and Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel the chief men gave to the priests of the house of God, they even gave for the Passover sheep, lambs, and kids, two thousand six hundred, and three hundred calves. 9And Conaniah, Benaiah, Shemaiah, Nethaneel his brother, Hashabiah, Jeiel, and Jozabad, heads of the Levites, gave an offering to the Levites for the Passover, of five thousand sheep and five hundred calves. 10And the service was duly ordered, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their divisions, according to the command of the king. 11And they killed the Passover offerings, and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hand, and the Levites skinned the animals. 12And they prepared the whole burnt offering to give to them, according to the division by the houses of families, even to the sons of the people, to offer to the Lord, as it is written in the Book of Moses. 13And thus they did till the morning. And they roasted the Passover with fire according to the ordinance; and boiled the holy pieces in copper vessels and caldrons, and the feast went on well, and they quickly served all the children of the people. 14And after they had prepared for themselves and for the priests, for the priests were engaged in offering the whole burnt offerings and the fat until night, then the Levites prepared for themselves, and for their brethren the sons of Aaron. 15And the sons of Asaph the psalm-singers were at their post according to the commands of David, and Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun, the prophets of the king. Also, the chiefs and the porters of the several gates-it was not for them to stir from the service of the holy things, for their brethren the Levites prepared for them. 16So all the service of the Lord was duly ordered and prepared in that day, for keeping the Passover, and offering the whole burnt sacrifices on the altar of the Lord, according to the command of King Josiah. 17And the children of Israel that were present kept the Passover at that time, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days. 18And there was no Passover like it in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet, or any king of Israel; they kept not such a Passover as Josiah, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, kept to the Lord. 19In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah this Passover was kept, after all these things that Josiah did in the house. And King Josiah burnt those who had in them a divining spirit, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and the sodomites which were in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might confirm the words of the law that were written in the book which Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the Lord. There was no king like him before him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart, and all his soul, and all his strength, according to all the Law of Moses, and after him there rose up none like him. Nevertheless the Lord turned not from the anger of His fierce wrath, wherewith the Lord was greatly angry against Judah, for all the provocations in which Manasseh had provoked Him. And the Lord said, I will even remove Judah also from My presence, as I have removed Israel, and I have rejected the city which I chose, even Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there. 20And Pharaoh Necho king of Egypt went up against the king of the Assyrians to the River Euphrates, and King Josiah went to meet him. 21And he sent messengers to him, saying, What have I to do with you, O king of Judah? I have not come today to war against you; and God has told me to make haste; beware of the God that is with me, lest He destroy you. 22However, Josiah turned not his face from him, but strengthened himself to fight against him, and hearkened not to the words of Necho by the mouth of God, and he came to fight in the plain of Megiddo. 23And the archers shot at King Josiah. And the king said to his servants, Take me away, for I am severely wounded. 24And his servants lifted him out of the chariot, and put him in the second chariot which he had, and brought him to Jerusalem. And he died, and was buried with his fathers; and all Judah and Jerusalem lamented over Josiah. 25And Jeremiah mourned over Josiah, and all the chief men and chief women uttered a lamentation over Josiah until this day. And they made it an ordinance for Israel, and behold, it is written in the lamentations. 26And the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his hope, are written in the law of the Lord. 27And his acts, the first and the last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

If you have been following the news lately then you are aware of a manufactured news story which made national headlines, about the effort by a group of gay marriage activists to remove a Catholic priest from the Newman Center ministry at George Washington University here in the Nation's Capital for doing his job, i.e. teaching the Catholic faith, hard as it is for many to accept. What you will not be aware of is that the priest in question, Father Greg Shaffer, is a friend of mine, and someone whom I respect greatly. He has not asked me to write what I am about to share with you, and I will refrain from speaking about him personally other than in general terms. However there comes a time when attacking the Church moves from debates and hypotheticals into attacks on people whom we care about, and in fact on what forms the very essence of who we are as Christians. Therefore I hope Father Greg will forgive me for adding my two rather measly cents to circumstances in which he certainly needs no help from me, but in which I am proud to offer whatever support I can.
Sunday evening I had the privilege of attending a mass concelebrated by Father Greg with Cardinal Wuerl, Archbishop of Washington, and a number of other priests. Those of you who are regular readers of these pages know that Newman Center masses are not really my style, as guitars and what is referred to as "praise and worship music" make me wince. Nevertheless, this is a question of taste, for it has been a long time since I was an undergraduate, and more importantly there is no question whatsoever regarding Father Greg's orthodoxy – he is probably the priest most passionately devoted to the Blessed Sacrament that I have ever met. Plus, when your Cardinal-Archbishop comes to visit, you can hardly want to stay away. Never let it be said that I have turned down an opportunity to kiss the episcopal ring.
The mass itself was beautiful, and the congregation full. We were very fortunate to have Cardinal Wuerl come straight from the airport off a flight from Rome in order to be able to celebrate with us and publicly demonstrate his support, and despite some obvious fatigue and jetlag His Eminence soldiered on. It was wonderful to see the outpouring of enthusiasm both for him, and for Father Greg among those assembled for mass.
Yet the most striking thing about the mass itself was unquestionably the Cardinal's homily. Fortunately for those of you who were not able to attend this mass, the Cardinal has posted the text of this sermon on his blog, which you can read here. It is not only a powerful statement of support for Father Greg personally, the challenges of Christ's teachings, and the dangers of limiting religious liberty, but more importantly I believe it is something that Catholics anywhere in this country, and indeed worldwide, can read to remind themselves that they are not alone. Indeed, toward the end of his homily, His Eminence quite literally brought me to tears when he said, "Dear brothers and sisters, never be ashamed of Christ, his Gospel, his Truth – or your identity as Jesus' disciples. Always be proud of who you are."
Cardinal Wuerl clearly knows what is happening in our society and is responding to it, in his own particular way and gentle charism, just as his brother bishops such as Cardinals Dolan and George, and Archbisshops Chaput and Lori, among others, are doing in their own dioceses. In doing so they are following in the footsteps of their predecessors in leading Christ's flock, from St. Peter and the Apostles onward, even when it would be so much easier and more comfortable to say nothing. We all know from history that, apart from St. John Fisher, Bishop of Rochester, going along to get along is what happened to the English bishops, when Henry VIII decided that his own sexual incontinence was more important than his immortal soul, and indeed more important than the immortal souls of the English people.
How blessed we are, by contrast, that in the current age of impending persecution – for make no mistake, that day has arrived – that we Catholics have bishops, priests, and religious who are not afraid to witness to the truth of our Faith, through the teachings of Christ and His Church. We Catholics are all members of a Church on Earth made up entirely of sinners, who are constantly falling and having to pick ourselves up again. That is something which is hard enough to do when things are going relatively well. Yet to be able to do so while being under attack is something that will test not only the mettle of our shepherds, but our own as well.

When I woke up Friday morning the rain had stopped and my bed was stripped from not making it before I left for a well needed glass of wine with several dear friends. I looked at my watch which was conveniently still on my wrist and felt the mini skirt that was still on my waist�just in case I needed to run out of the apartment in the middle of the night, apparently. It was also the beginning of June which tends to remind me of how many steps I�ve taken, took back, then leapt forward. For this and for other issues, my stomach ached. The room felt cold. I thought I heard laughter, but told myself I was the only boat creaking in this storm. I thought I heard footsteps then realized it was only Jo foraging for food. I rolled over in a manner that reminded me of my mother when I wake her in the morning.
Sun light littered my room in a way that told me that I had about enough of this shit and it was time to start the day. I never asked the question because the answer couldn�t bear its weight in my head. The theories I had collected make much more sense than a concrete cruise ship.
That in a nutshell was the end of my preoccupation with death. Not that I will ever stop fearing it. I just stopped thinking about it. If I�d have any extra time on my hands that wasn�t spent thinking about important things like what I�m going to wear tonight (or why my sister and I have a texting love), I might spend more time worrying about things out of my control. But the truth is I�ve learned to put a wall against such thoughts. Each new thing I learn about the world is a stone in that wall, until one day I realized I had exiled myself from a place I could never go back to. And yet, that wall has also protected me. I still never think about the truth in those things while attempting the two mile drive to Walgreen�s and not wearing my seat belt. Acciednts always happen close to home, right? What if I was in one and thrown thrown twenty feet ending up paralyzed or dead? It could happen. Yet, I still don�t think about the truth, because eventually we�re all going to die. Instead I force myself to think inside a happy box while my mind is more like a nine year old with ADD trying to solve a cross word puzzle.
I�d like to think that the world wasn�t ready for me, but maybe the truth is that I wasn�t ready for the world. I�m always arriving to late for my life or as Clint calls it, �J.S. T. Time.� Translation: Jessica Standard Time. Now that I�m here an hour late or an hour early, I just don�t know how to deal with certain situations. So I ask Kristina, I ask Soleil, Hillary, Kim, Celeste, Brittany, my sister-in-law�I ask and I ask when I already know the answer.
Because let�s face it, if your asking the question�you already know the answer.
And… yeah – i'm back and promise to update more than the last few weeks, I was wading through some pretty deep water.

On their latest tongue-in-cheek take on cock- and garage-rock, the Detroit band suffer from predictability.
In 2003, the Detroit band Electric Six found some fame, especially in England, through their transcendently dumb singles "Gay Bar" and "Danger! High Voltage". The songs were over-the-top and showed the jesters' almost encyclopedic hold on every brand of rock theatrics from 1975 to 1985. Sure, this may describe about 70% of your student center's Battle of the Bands entrants, but this band spiked the brew with heaping helpings of irony and self-consciousness. Kings of Leon they are not.
Electric Six are chuckling at themselves, yes-- and they also seem to be poking fun at those hammy, cartoonish expressions of manliness that crowd the playlists of every nipple-ringed Delta pledge. Thus the Electric Six discography abounds with wry renditions of cock- and garage-rock that the gender-studies set can comfortably load onto their iPods. It is quite a coup. Yet on I Shall Exterminate Everything Around Me That Restricts Me From Being the Master, the revolution sputters. It's not the old case of a perfectly low-rent aesthetic becoming somehow "compromised" by the more upmarket production you'd find on MTV, lacquered and Autotuned to oblivion. Simple predictability is to blame. When Dick Valentine opens the record, bellowing on the saloon rambler "It's Showtime!" in his mock-macho growl, over mock-operatic riffs, and clarinets and pianos, you quickly get your fill. Soon you yearn for the old Electric Six, with its perfect quantity of smarty-pants pomp, when there was a little energy and wit behind their disco infiltrators.
This just feels derivative. Once upon a time, being derivative was half of the band's shtick-- but never more than half. They cleverly and shamelessly used MOR clichés as touchstones for their twisted imagination. So the other half was the act of poking fun at this source material, as they remade all that high-stepping 1980s swagger into memorably silly, truly postmodern dance music. (Of course, this only applies to 2003's Fire.) Electric Six defenders may answer that these judgments miss the point, that there's far more to the band than tongue-in-cheek appropriation of the past. They may say their whole body of work takes aim at the carnival of American culture. Free of any "Danger"-grade hits, 2005's Señor Smoke is held up as proof of the band's satirical, capital-s Seriousness. But the fact is that "Jimmy Carter" says exactly as much about presidential folly as "Down at McDonnellzzzzz" says about the nation's waistlines. Valentine wants to decry our excess by turning it into a punchline, yet thanks to the cheese-ball arrangements and childish lyrics, neither comic effect nor social critique is ever attained. Given that Bush's America is more than a little like Weimar Germany, this should have been like fish in a barrel.
More evidence of a hidden Swiftian intellect, supposedly, is that the title of the new album comes from an anti-Weimar George Grosz cartoon. Defying any rumors of thematic gravity, Dick Valentine himself crunched the numbers, once declaring that "80 percent of our songs, maybe even higher than 80 percent" are about nothing at all. On the gleefully nihilistic Fire that was fine. But five years later, without glee, we're left with boring nihilism. Without any attempt to elaborate their sound, without dance-floor contenders or striking hooks, without straying meaningfully from the templates of straightaway rock, Exterminate simply fulfills the promise of its title: like most Dadaist jokes, this one isn't funny.

It's been a while since I've recorded an episode of The Pussy Centipede. I had gotten bored of doing it and since it's supposed to be the funnest thing ever made I didn't feel right doing it if I wasn't having the funnest time ever. Guess I was just burned out bro and I just wasn't feeling it. It's like how Kurt Cobain wasn't feeling it on the stage so he quit doing music and wrote a suicide note.
But I got the urge to start doing it again, so here's my new episode. I am gonna aim to do a weekly episode going forward bro! To be honest, I wanna say, I'm genuinely curious as to how people will react to this. I mean it's just my opinion and no offense. I'm also going to post a totally new drawing that I do with my totally new Crayola markers with each episode, including the rough outline I write for each episode.
So click the picture below to hear the new The Pussy Centipede:

Another bad day, and it's only just begun.
Lost my pain patch last night while I was sleeping. I swear, I can put 20 lbs of surgical tape on these things and they just fall off. So, woke up this morning in the beginnings of a full-blown withdrawal. Anyone who has gone through medical withdrawal knows it's not very fun.
With me, I start with the cold sweats and chills. I can't get warm, and I can't stop sweating. My feet feel like blocks of ice, but I can't put socks on because they are sweating so much that my socks get damp in minutes then it's worse. My entire body feels "fluttery", like a leaf in a breeze. I'm shaking and my brain is muddled. I know I slept, but not very well. I remember waking up several times just so cold my teeth were chattering, but I changed twice cause I was soaked.
I'm off now to get something to eat and to take a nap. A bad night wears me out more than a bad day does, every time.
