Record Number of Cruisers Visit British Ports
Figures released by CruiseBritain show that the number of cruise passengers visiting Britain continues to rise for the tenth consecutive year. In the last decade, passenger day calls have quadrupled to reach 1.415 million including an increase of 17 percent over 2016.
Cruise passengers arrived through 68 cruise ports in 2018 on 120 different ships. 56 different cruise lines visited the U.K. ports, and strong regional growth is being experience, including ports such as Douglas (Isle of Man), Kirkwall (Orkney), Portland and Tyne.
Round Britain and Irish Sea cruises continue to develop as an ideal way of exploring Britain's diversity of coasts, castles, cities and countryside. The short sailing distances between Britain's shores and adjoining countries add to the itinerary possibilities, says James Stangroom, Chair of CruiseBritain.
''Increasingly, Britain really can offer a port for every cruise ship currently sailing – from expedition ships to mid-range or boutique vessels up to the largest afloat. 1.1 million passengers began their cruise at a British port in 2017 which is a rise of six percent over 2016. Many of the U.K.'s ports can handle both day calls and embarkations which increases the opportunity to grow the nation's cruise business,'' said Stangroom. "As the global cruise market continues its growth trend, we are confident that Britain's appeal as a cruise destination will mirror that trend.''
Five Inaugural Visits to Liverpool
Liverpool Cruise Terminal will host 57 cruise ships this year, carrying more than 100,000 international passengers and crew into the city.
The schedule includes five inaugural visits to the city from AIDAaura, Berlin, Ocean Dream, Seabourn Ovation and Viking Sun. Additionally, Cunard Line will bring luxury vessel Queen Victoria on May 22 and Queen Elizabeth on July 23. Princess Cruises' flagship Royal Princess will make four calls, and Disney Magic will sail from Liverpool on September 7.
Record Passenger Numbers at Southampton
A record breaking two million cruise passengers visited the Port of Southampton in 2017. The port experienced its busiest long weekend ever when 15 cruise ships visited the port in June.
In 2018, the port expects eight maiden calls and a naming ceremony for Azamara Pursuit. New ships calling for the first time in Southampton will be: AIDAperla; Norwegian Bliss; MSC Meraviglia; Sapphire Princess; MS Zuiderdam; Seven Seas Navigator and MS Koningsdam.
Azamara Pursuit will be christened in Southampton in a first for Azamara Club Cruises. Following the naming of Azamara Pursuit on August 28, there will be a two-night celebratory cruise.
On August 31, the port will experience a six-ship day when Arcadia, Aurora, Braemar, Independence of the Seas, Mein Schiff 3 and Queen Victoria will all be alongside in Southampton.

Brexit drama - then and now
The big Brexit discussion in the UK this morning is last night's Brexit film on Channel 4 - An Uncivil War - a brilliant epic about Dominic Cummings, the leader of the Leave campaign. It is one thing to give a rational explanation of the social demographics behind the Brexit vote. What this film succeeded in is to show the political and personal alienation behind the vote. The author is James Graham, one of Britain's best known political dramatists, whose most recent work included the West End play Ink, about Murdoch's takeover of the Sun newspaper.
Back in the real world, the main Brexit news this morning is a story in the Daily Telegraph that UK and EU officials are talking, for the first time, about scenarios for an extension of the Article 50 deadline in case Theresa May's deal is voted down. These were described as discreet diplomatic contacts, reinforced by the comment of a junior government minister, who yesterday raised the prospect of an extension.
The situation is likely to arise if, as expected, the House of Commons were to vote down May's meaningful vote - assuming it goes ahead next week. The article made the point that the EU's position on the extension has been evolving. If an extension were needed to secure to support for a deal the EU has spent two years to negotiate, then so be it. The main issue is not about the length of the extension, but what it should accomplish. We still think that the most likely scenario is for the process to go to the brink - the point in March when Remainers will blink and support the deal. After that - and only after that - it would make sense for the EU to agree a short extension to conclude the ratification procedure.
As the paper writes, another constraint on the process are the UK local elections in May. If the UK has still not exited the EU by then, the Tories might be in for a nasty electoral shock.
We also see a short extension as likely to make way for two political events that have yet to take place. Theresa May has yet to present the promised assurances on the Irish backstop. The EU will not give her much except a letter to state what has already been agreed verbally, that it is the intent of the EU to conclude the trade talks by 2021.
But looking beyond, we think it is possible that the EU could also amend the political declaration in a way to make it easier for pro-European Labour MPs to support the deal, for example by stressing that alternative negotiation outcomes are possible. In this context we noted an interesting comment by Andrew Duff, who will today publish a paper for the European Policy Centre explaining how this can be done technically. What struck us the most is his assertion that it is possible, contrary to claims by the European Commission, to give the political declaration a legally-binding framework.
"Mrs May asked the December European Council to upgrade the legal status of the Political Declaration to make it binding. It was explained to her why this is not possible under EU law. Nevertheless, the prime minister has a point. The document can be regarded as a measure of EU soft law, the breaching of which would have serious political consequences for both parties. In the event of any litigation, the European Court of Justice would be bound to have cognisance of it. In a gesture towards the British, the EU should now agree to accord the Political Declaration formal recognition in the preamble to the Council decision that is required under Article 50(2) to conclude the whole legal process of British secession from the Union."
The other interesting article we discovered yesterday came from the Labour-supporting website Skwawkbox, which went into the gory detail of what it would take for the parliament to force a Brexit revocation or a second referendum. The article notes that it is already almost too late for Labour to trigger an election. The only way forward would be for Labour to abstain in the meaningful vote - as a result of which it would pass. Labour would them immediately call a vote of no confidence in the House of Commons, a vote that would most likely be supported by the DUP. Elections could be held on March 21, just a few days before the Brexit deadline.
We think this suggestion is pie-in-the-sky, but it is useful in one respect. It is spot on in the analysis of the heavy lifting needed to move away from the deal-vs-no-deal reality of Art. 50.

Lyudmila Putina is the former wife of the Russian president Vladimir Putin. She was married to Vladimir back in the year 1983. The couple has spent about 31 years together and now they are divorced and are living life separately.
Lyudmila Putina after her divorce with Putin in 2013 is now married to 37-year-old Businessman Artur Ocheretny who apparently happens to be almost 20 years younger than her. So far there is no rumors or news about the new couple splitting. Stay with us for more detail.

Lyudmila Putina, also known as Lyudmila Shkrebneva used to be a flight attendant by profession in the 1980's. She met the love of her life, Vladimir Putin, in a theater through a mutual friend. On the first day of the meeting; they bonded pretty well and started seeing each other very often. By the year 1983, they were very emotionally attached to each other and got married. In their years of marriage, the couple has given birth to 2 daughters, Maria and Yekaterina. There are also rumors about Putin to be a wife beater. According to some sources, Putin was very much indulged into politics that he didn't even attend the birth of his kids which is quite surprising for the country's role model.

After Spending approximately about 31 years with President Putin, Lyudmila has recently been married to a 37-year-old businessman Artur Ocheretny. Even though, there is no concrete proof of their marriage, an outburst of their marriage has surrounded the media world. There are also reports that Lyudmila has changed her surname to Ocheretny while issuing a new passport. According to a Russian anti-corruption campaigner, Alexei Navalny Lyudmila's properties has been transferred to her new name Lyudmila Ocheretny and all her dates matches as well.

Lyudmila Putina was engaged in a matrimonial relationship with Vladimir Putin since 1983 and after living together for almost about three decades, the couple decided to call it quits. There were a lot of rumors surrounding the couple getting divorced and it was also one of the trending topics in Russian media as it was the president's divorce. There might be various reasons for the couple's divorce while some suggest that Putin used to beat up his wife and some suggest that it was due to Putin's affair with other women that got him in this situation. Here's a video where Putin and his wife Lyudmila are revealing reasons for their divorce.
However, now the couple is divorced and Lyudmila has again married to Artur Ocheretny and the new couple seems to be happily living together. There are no news and rumors about the new couple's divorce. We wish them a very bright future and may their marriage be a successful one.

|Get rid of gastric trouble by systematic fasts
Doctors won't tell you. In fact, if no amount of medication helps and when you are fed up of taking all sorts of 'churans' [herbal powders] or syrups, and still the digestive mechanism keeps you irritated and frustrated, there is a way out of it.
It's a big problem and only those who are suffering from continuous emission of gases know it. FAST. Yes, fasting can be miraculous. Just try it. The best way is have a light dinner or if possible just skip the evening meal.
Go by the old adage of heavy breakfast, substantial quantity of food in lunch to keep you going through out the day and finally just a bit of food in the evening and that too early in the evening. If possible have juices or soups.
Try for a few days, if possible, to fast and you will notice the change. It was an old method told by the medial practitioners for generations. The reason that fasting works in poor 'hazma' [bad-hazmi] is that your digestion is slow and food take hours to get digested.
This problem is unique to everyone and is personalised, so doctors' prescriptions can't check it on a regular basis. Once you understand and it improves your condition, you will be in a position to understand when to skip, how much food to eat in the dinner and how to keep 'systematic fast'.
That can be a permanent solution for your problem. It will also keep you happy and make you active because once your daily issue of bloating and belching goes, you can have a better quality of life. Just try it and hopefully it will work for you, as it does for most.
Besides, we have other posts on ways to keep acidity under control. You must be aware of foods, vegetables and particular things that cause excess gas and you can avoid them. But the basic issue is resolved once you follow the advice given above.

Day 404
For our last moments in Peru, Craig, Charlie, and I had breakfast at a restaurant across from our hotel. The owner had a pet macaw, apparently as a ploy to attract more customers. After the macaw finished its yucca, the owner talked me into getting it to fly onto my shoulder for a photo. That seemed like a great idea, but as soon as it landed on me, it started biting my hair and clawing my skin, which was quite painful. Craig was waiting with the camera for the macaw to pose for a shot like you see in pirate movies, but instead of looking forward, it decided that a human ear would make a much better breakfast than a piece of yucca. The searing pain went right through me as its beak latched on and wouldn't let go. Still screaming in pain, I ran over to the owner and got him to take his pet back. When I reached up to feel my ear, I thought part of it would be missing, Mike Tyson-style, but luckily it was all there and was only sore for a few hours afterward. The owner was laughing so hard, I'm pretty sure he trained the bird to bite all tourists as a sick form of entertainment.
After breakfast we took a boat to Leticia, Colombia on the other side of the river. It's a nice little place with lots of motorcycles, but not nearly as loud as a lot of the other cities I've been to lately. On the other side of the city is Tabatinga, Brazil, which is where we need to go to get on a boat to Manaus, Brazil, which leaves in two days. The problem is that Craig and I both need visas to enter Brazil. I tried for a week to get one from Buenos Aires, but to no avail because of their strict rules regarding tickets into and out of the country. Today's problem is that it's a holiday of some sort, so the Brazilian Consulate is closed. We'll have to try tomorrow.
This afternoon we took a ride out to the airport in Leticia where the immigration office is to get an entry stamp on our passports. I don't know if the Brazilian officials will care whether I'm officially in Colombia, but I'd rather not risk it. If I don't have a visa in two days to catch the boat, the next boat doesn't leave for five days, and I don't want to sit here that long.
We also ran into an Italian guy who Craig met in Iquitos. Assuming all goes well with the visas, I think he'll be on the same boat as us, so there will be at least four tourists to make the journey through the Brazilian Amazon.

Marantz (Website: http://ca.marantz.com)
Marantz. Most people enjoy music. But some people are passionate about it. So are we! Music should be reproduced - in our opinion - exactly the way the artist intended, because nothing - absolutely nothing - should get in the way of the music. That's why we at Marantz have only one philosophy: "Because Music Matters."

Then, as now, we led by example, committed to finding new ways to bring exciting products and technologies into homes, automobiles, studios and venues around the world.

For February over at Borderline Hikkomori, for the 14 days up until Valentine's Day, we'd talk about our favorite pairings, and why we loved them. I decided I'd continue the tradition over here, as it's something I quite liked. Note that shipping wank with be dealt with the rolling of eyes, and laughing.
One of the charming parts of K-On is the lack of romance and drama caused by such. That just isn't an element in the show, and beyond the occasional yuri joke, nothing of the such comes up. It is obvious all four girls absolutely love each other despite each other despite this, though not in a romantic sense. Still, sometimes a overzealous fangirl in the same vein of Mugi can't help but imaging more beyond what we see in the show, and if their love for each other went a little further.
Sometimes there isn't really any support beyond a couple besides just liking the idea of them together, although the girls have a rather hands-on nature with each other. Yui and Mugi are easily the cutest (in my opinion) and most laid-back characters of the show, I can see them having a rather relaxed relationship with each other.
Perfect situation to what may not be a permanent relationship, but to puppy love and many first times doing many things.
The two of them are just too dang cute together.
I also can't help but think Mugi would be thrilled to be a part of her own personal yuri story.

Investors stand to benefit from the robotics thematic as the world transitions towards more resource-efficient activities, writes Nanuk Asset Management's Eric Siegloff.
We're seeing robots move from industrial applications to consumer applications in our homes. We're seeing strong trend growth at a global level for both these end markets.
We're seeing greater sophistication and application of technologies. And we're seeing sharp declines in the cost of making robots, leading to rising affordability and a prospective virtuous circle of demand and production.
Robots are becoming cheaper, faster, safer, smarter, more applicable and nimble day by day. This is attractive to us as fundamental investors.
The investment challenge is to find the right companies in the right area at the right time, and to benefit from the robotics thematic as it plays its part in the global transition towards a 'new world' of more environmentally sustainable and resource-efficient activities in the decades to come.
Where does robotics fit as an investment?
Robotics has become a familiar investment theme, both in specialised funds or an asset in more diversified funds such as the Nanuk New World Fund which is exposed to a broad theme of environmental sustainability and resource efficiency.
At a portfolio level, robotics fits within the industrial efficiency sector.
At the industry level, there are three broad themes for consideration:
Medical robotics is a key application seeing tremendous growth. Intuitive Surgical is a US company that pioneered medical robotics in 1995 for minimally invasive surgery.
Its main product, the 'da Vinci' Surgical System, has been utilised in a variety of surgeries including urology and gynaecology for over three million patients already.
The product has been amazingly successful in improving patient outcomes and its market share in its core applications is up to 90 per cent.
Although the industry is still quite nascent, new players are joining the medical robotics market such as the joint venture Verb Surgical, a collaboration between Google and Johnson & Johnson.
A virtuous cycle of economies of scale
Robot adoption is underpinned by faster business cycles, more flexible business and service models and more rapid response to customer needs.
New generation robots are more connected, more flexible and more precise.
Key to this is the development of artificial intelligence and machine vision, which is allowing machines to navigate physical space and adapt to non-standard objects.
This pushes robots from being limited to a production line and a repeatable action – for instance, attaching a bottle cap – to move around a warehouse, for example.
In late 2017, the International Federation of Robotics forecast that 1.3 million industrial robots will be installed in factories around the world in the three years spanning 2018 to 2020.
This would bring the worldwide stock of industrial robots to 3 million units by 2020. Notably, robot adoption across small and medium enterprises is seen as a developing trend.
While strong growth in robotics is evident, the cost of components of a robot are rapidly declining, such as the massive drop in the cost of computing power and related core components.
Since 2010, the average robotics sensor cost has dropped by 50 per cent and the cost of lithium-ion batteries has fallen 75 per cent.
Emerging applications such as cobots are growing at double-digit figures. For example, Teradyne, a company that makes automatic test equipment, has seen cobot revenue grow 6.5 times over the last four years.
This growth has been driven by cost competiveness in manufacturing hubs, particularly in China.
As cobots become cheaper, they're gaining market share, and this enables a virtuous cycle of increased economies of scale.
Robotics as an investment is underpinned by strong trend growth for industrial and consumer applications at a global level, contributing towards a 'new world' of more environmentally sustainable and resource-efficient activities in the decades to come.

Wisconsin Democratic Rep. Gwen Moore played doctor on MSNBC Friday, diagnosing two young people she met over Thanksgiving with illnesses and saying they "needed to be educated" about Obamacare.
Moore was on "Andrea Mitchell Reports" to discuss the impending deadline for the Obamacare website with guest host T.J. Holmes. The congresswoman effectively hijacked the program to promote the law, declaring the "storms and the rain" of website glitches and dropped plans "really sort of obscures the rainbow" of Obamacare.
But a modest question from Holmes caused the lawmaker to cite the example of two young people she met Thursday:
HOLMES: You don't deny the experience for a great number of Americans has not been a pleasant one in trying to sign up for the website. And that's what right now a lot of people are experiencing versus, I guess, paying attention to some of the numbers that you're giving to them.
MOORE: Well, T.J., the worst story is not the people who have been frustrated trying to get online. The worst news is that time and money and effort that could have been spent doing outreach to the young people we need to sign up has not occurred.
I just spent Thanksgiving Day and ran into at least two people who are under 34 years old, working full time, have no health insurance — one of them exhibiting signs of anemia, another exhibiting signs of high blood pressure — who not only have not tried to get on the website but really need to be educated about the benefits of the Affordable Care Act.
HOLMES: Who is not educating them, congresswoman? Who is not doing a good enough job educating them?
MOORE: We are spending all of our time talking about the catastrophic rollout instead of spending this money this time this effort this media opportunity to let people know that first of all, very many Americans will benefit from the Medicaid expansion that's occurred in many states.
Moore is not a doctor of any kind, nor has she ever attended medical school. Her remarks instead seem to be the latest attempt by Democrats to shame and pressure young people into visiting the dysfunctional website and signing on to Obamacare's health-care exchanges.
Moore also assured viewers that "many people will find insurance for less than they have been paying" and said Obamacare "will provide 100 million Americans with preventive care services with no co-pays or additional costs."
"That's something worth fighting for," she claimed. "That's something worth bragging about."

In case you've missed it: Part One, Part Two, Dance Party Latina Style, Dance Party Rewind and Part Three
My lovelies, here is some more music I like and that inspires me. I've featured some of this music on some previous posts since I started Fiction. It is supposed to be chill, relaxed but this first one might be a bit of an extreme chill. Thank you, my lovely She, for introducing me to Andrew Applepie. I love the whole lot of his songs/music. This is one of my very favorites so far. You were spot on! I absolutely love him!
This is another absolute favorite of mine. Hans Zimmer – Time I love it so much. I have written several poetry pieces while listening to this. It brings me great joy and melancholy at the same time. I always picture lovers, longing. Always!
Because I love the sky probably as much as the sea. They both meet on the horizon and live happily ever after. (must experience video!)
I wrote The Lovely Weapon while listening to this. I was just getting over writing prompts. (I was deathly afraid of prompts. Music, love, and friendship is a cure all recipe.)
Just wrote the following poem while listening to this last piece of deliciousness.
My sweet love, my warm embrace
You are my delight in all ways, in all seasons
A treasure, a gift to me, is what you are
I rush towards you, anxious for your touch
The night turns to music and I am yours
Your mouth dances with mine, spinning me
Ever so poetic, ever so gentle, ever so soothing
Your voice
Tones, whispers, a sonnet echoes fire
I swim feverishly in your affection
Fireworks of moonlit dreams in dulcet hues
A symphony explodes as you conduct my instruments
Each one, your faithful servant, surrendering, devoted
You and I
Swirls in sounds of enchantment, wild abandon
Our bodies entwined in passionate adoration
An ardent croon for the universe

Last summer, I spent an entire Sunday glued to my laptop writing a novel, a new story that won't see publication until next year or much later. It is still very raw and I haven't touched it since November of last year. It happens. I am in the middle of something and my head decides to do something different. Too much fiction in my head. LOL! Anyway, I wrote feverishly while listening to this recomposition of Vivaldi's four seasons. Who doesn't like these wonderful pieces! They are delicious.
I hope you're enjoying this ride and don't mind this humble girl blasting the music. I'm so grateful for you.
Hugs my lovelies! Next post will be Part four of this celebration and maybe that will be that! (*winks, blows a kiss*)

Trumpism is a wake-up call to the Academy
Will we heed it?
By Joe Bessler | 2.5.2018
It's time to wake up . . . We have to fight against propaganda and crackpot conspiracy theories. We have to fight isolationism, protectionism and nativism. We have to defeat those who would worsen our divisions. We have to remind our sons and daughters that we became the most powerful nation on earth by tearing down walls, not building them.
-- Republican Senator John McCain
It must also be said that I rise today with no small measure of regret. Regret because of the state of our disunion. Regret because of the disrepair and destructiveness of our politics. Regret because of the indecency of our discourse. Regret because of the coarseness of our leadership. Regret for . . . all of our complicity in this alarming and dangerous state of affairs. It is time for our complicity and our accommodation of the unacceptable to end.
-- Republican Senator Jeff Flake
"I don't know why the President tweets out things that are not true. You know he does it, everyone knows he does it, but he does."
-- Republican Senator Robert Corker
Writing about the phenomenon of being haunted, Avery Gordon in her work, Ghostly Matters: Haunting and the Sociological Imagination, says that such a phenomenon "draws us affectively, sometimes against our will, and always a bit magically, into the structure of a reality we come to experience, not as cold knowledge, but as transformative recognition." The discomfort McCain, Flake, and Corker feel is palpable as they struggle to come to grips with the social forces that a president of their own party has courted and let loose in the country. They see and feel at a visceral level what is at stake in allowing those social forces—white supremacist violence in Charlottesville, VA; the Alabama senatorial campaign of Roy Moore; the constant, daily attempts of a Trump White House to undermine the integrity of the press; the findings of science; the leadership of women in public life—to metastasize into a discourse of narcissistic fascism. Whether they will have the courage to walk away from Trump, however, remains—even in the wake of Trump's "s. . . hole" comments—strangely uncertain.
Commenting on the surprise of Trump's victories in the Republican primaries, I wrote an article, December of 2015, in which I sought to make evident the conundrum of the Republican party in dealing with the candidacy of Donald Trump:
A recent Tom Toles political cartoon captures the dilemma well. Two elephants are talking with one another. The first says, "We've got a Trump problem." To which the other responds, "He's appealing to voters who are responding to racism bordering on fascism." The first says, "It's a real dilemma," with the other asking a concluding question, "How do we get rid of Trump but keep those voters?"
As the cartoon brilliantly illustrates, what Republicans have yet to own, but cannot do so publicly, is that Donald Trump is not the real problem. The real problem is the audience they have created and catered to during the last 50 years.
But Donald Trump is not Other. He is not an outlier to the Republican brand, as many Republicans have tried to claim; he's the backward-looking, making-America-great-again, white, male savior Republicans have been promising for fifty years. That Trump played to those resentments so successfully, and did so against the Republican party establishment, has made glaringly apparent the moral ugliness of the political game that Republicans have been playing for decades.
Gordon writes that "haunting is a frightening experience." Its strangeness can bewilder, isolate, and silence those it comes to possess. She adds that haunting, "unlike trauma, is distinctive for producing a something-to-be-done."
The Westar Institute was created, in part, as a "something-to-be-done." It was organized against a backdrop of resurgent, politicized fundamentalism of the late 1970s and early 1980s. In their introduction to the Institute's seminal work, The Five Gospels, Westar founder Bob Funk and charter member Roy Hoover called on scholars to engage in a process of public visibility:
Academic folk are a retiring lot. We prefer books to lectures, and solitude to public display. Nevertheless, we have too long buried our considered views of Jesus and the gospels in technical jargon and in obscure journals. We have hesitated to contradict TV evangelists and pulp religious authors for fear of political reprisal and public controversy. And we have been intimidated by promotion and tenure committees to whom the charge of popularizing or sensationalizing biblical issues is anathema. It is time for us to quit the library and speak up.
Funk and Hoover were saying to biblical scholars that it is time to leave the security of the library, or the sacredness of the divinity school—to risk speech in the public realm. In their play of "buried" voices and "speak[ing] up," one hears the language of resurrection in a new, more urgent, political key. Whether in their language of "speaking up" or McCain's language of "waking up," political and theological voices need to move beyond—in Gordon's words—"a dull curiosity or detached know-it-all criticism into the passion of what is at stake."
For theologians, exploring the event of Donald Trump's candidacy and election will involve publicly and fearlessly exposing the ways that variations of Christian God language, which were operative in that event, have encouraged gross ignorance of science; dismissal of evidence-based news reporting; and disrespect for women, GLBTQ persons, and for people of color. This work is necessarily public.
For Westar, it may mean creating events that address the interrelated themes of race, gender, and Christian Nationalism. Or it may take the form of investigating our own stories—as a group of largely white, male scholars—about how the inheritance of racist and sexist traditions has been at work in us, subtly shaping our own patterns of avoidance that have kept us safe within the practice of the guild and within the comfort of our own yards.
Whether looking internally, or speaking to religious scholarship more broadly, if our work is to be transformative culturally, it will have to be so personally. And to be personally transformed, we will have to leave the yard.

Joe, it is good to hear your voice. I appreciate your clarity and your voice as a theologian. Yours aye
Sol Rosenberg says:
About 62.9 million Americans voted for Trump, most of us being neither racist nor fascist, but simply tired of the two party system. And some of those 62.9 million are also long-time subscribers to The Fourth R. And so these comments are extremely offensive.

Afternoon guys and gals...
Just wondered how some of you guys order stuff on line.
For me I've finally been fortunate to rebuild my gigastudio system from a P3 to an athlon 64 3500+ with 2 gigs of ram.
So I logged on to tigerdirect.ca and ordered a "bundle" deal through their online store. AN asus AV8 Deluxe and the 3500+ cpu as the bundle seemed like a good deal for $525 Can. With that I ordered 2 gigs of ram... About 3 days later I get my confirmation of my order of the "bundle" as well as the Ram.
2 working days after that the motherboard and ram show up but no Cpu as they said it "may" ship direct from AMD... Well it's now been 25 working days(not including weekends) and my latest call today, warranted no other information other than a. "Sorry Mr. Reynolds but we've just gone through a software upgrade and we can't tell you where your order is, when it'll ship or if it's been shipped." I ask if I can cancel the order, but they can't because it's in a warehouse somewhere, so they can't cancel it because yad yada yada!!! SO I had the head of the call-center here in Markham Ont. Tell me that they had one in stock at there store! About 2 hours from where I live. He said the best he could do is ship another CPU out that day. Last Fri and you'd get it on Mon... The catch is that they couldn't cancel the first CPU which kind of bothered me. So now I assume that I have 2 CPU's coming. The Call center is closed so I got transfered to Miami Florida where the guys said it could be 7 or more days before it ships. WTF, I think I have been more then patient with these guys and still they can't deliver! I kept reminding the head cheeze there that I ordered a "bundle" deal.
How can I cancel these orders when Tiger guys can't find there stuff and won't cancel once it's in their warehouse but can't tell me when it will be at my house. I have to say that at this point Tiger has made no attempt to accomodate my needs and has lost me as a customer. Sorry for the negative, but damn man, I have a GS3 piano sitting on a harddrive that can't boot because of crap! Damn what a lovely holiday I've had!!!!
I know this should be placed else where but just wanted some people to see that the lowest price "shouldn't" always warrant a sale.

The song Contact opens with the vocal performance by Emmalee Madden, somber and effected with a hint of herself ghosting in such a sad core self aware way is quite mesmerizing and becomes more when Homme De Fleurs' (the alt-folk project by Canadian artist and producer Jason Zerbin) voice steps in to hold hand. The two as one entity is so beautifully captivating and embraces you throughout the entire song elevated by the spartan production. It is the emptiness of the song that feels heavy. I love, absolutely love how Madden voice spikes into falsetto in surprising ways. Love the percussion that supports at the right moments and the vocal melodies that lift you up.
Press notes reveal that the song was written on an island in Canada's West Coast which must of seeped into the bones of the song, the undercurrent of loneliness, the vacuum of longing.

4chan users have been responsible for the formation, and/or popularization, of many Internet memes. The site's random board, /b/, is by far its most popular and notorious imageboard, accounting for one third of the site's overall traffic, according to Wikipedia. The memes spawned by 4chan are often repeated throughout internet culture, including in Flash animation on Newgrounds and on the BBS.
4chan in Newgrounds Flash Edit
Because of its influence over internet culture, several movies on Newgrounds feature it. Some, like "4Chan City >:3" and "4chan 4evar", revel in the site's unique culture. [1][2] Others, such as "A day at 4chan", poke fun at 4chan.[3] Still others, including "ScientLOLojyuuichi!!", mention aspects of 4chan in indirectly related films.[4]
Memes accredited to 4chan Edit
- Lolcats
- Rickrolling
- Barrel Roll
- Chocolate Rain
- Pedobear
- "An hero"
- "So I herd u liek mudkipz"
- Anonymous
- Dusty the cat
4Chan is claimed to be the the birthplace of the internet organization Anonymous. It remains a breeding ground for ideas and raids, in which a large number of Anonymous members attack a website by spamming them, defacing the site, or otherwise creating a nuisance. Most of the time however, when a raid, an organized attack on a specific target, is proposed, it is quickly shot down and the proposer is flamed.

In the fifth-grade, Larry Myers learned to hand draft and designed a house for the first time instilling an obsessive love for designing and building. To this day Larry isn't sure whether he should hug that teacher, or punch him in the face.
Larry has focused on aviation-related projects as an Architectural Designer with CSHQA. Working at airports presents its own set of challenges. At the Magic Valley Regional Airport, Larry helped to design a remodel and addition that not only looks amazing, but transforms a pre-Sept. 11 airport into a post-Sept. 11 airport that will serve passengers and personnel for years to come. Larry has also done numerous projects at airports in Boise, ID, Fresno, CA, and Bloomington, IL, to name a few.
Outside of work, Larry focuses on two passions: His family and motorcycles. He can be found camping in the mountains of Idaho in his restored vintage camp trailer named the "Hula Hideaway".

Improve the Smallest Room
As the prospects in the UK economy grow, it is reflected in consumer confidence. While some people may be looking to move, others may prefer to simply modernise their existing home. If you have no need for extra space and you are happy with the location, then it is only a question of whether you want to change your interior. There have been a few years where property values have been largely static. As those values now rise it is certainly worth investing in improvements because the work ought to be reflected in the value. While some property may have dropped in value significantly through the years of 2008 and 2009, a period the IMF calls the Great Recession, the vast majority see the future in very bright terms.
Your property may need a general makeover. It is certainly worth thinking whether it is energy efficient, whether it needs new doors or windows to replace those that have seen better days. Sometimes it is worth getting a second opinion because you may simply have got used to familiar surroundings and not be able to be objective.
As an example of what to consider, the smallest room in the house, the bathroom, can be just as important to the value as the largest. If the bathroom is genuinely small then it is worth thinking about how to make best use of the space in which you will need a toilet and basin before you think about a bath or shower. A modern steam shower certainly takes up little space and can be sited in the corner with hooks, cabinet and shelving to complete the room.
There are companies that specialise in bathrooms and it is worthwhile looking online to get some ideas. The Internet allows you to do your research and then ask questions of the companies that interest you. Companies such as www.jtspas.co.uk understand the need to provide quality products, an easy to navigate website and good service. You can expect to get all the help you need in selecting a shower as well as having it delivered throughout the country, often at no charge.
Does it fit?
Revamping a bathroom has practical limitations. There is a finite floor space and you will need to know that everything will fit in while giving you space to move. Showers can fit into the tightest of spaces. In each case you will be able to see the dimensions and work out whether a particular product is suitable for your bathroom. That doesn't mean you will have to install it yourself of course.
The smallest room in your house can suddenly become one of the most impressive. It will be a place that you can actually enjoy and impress potential buyers at a time in the future when you might like to move on.

This one is a little out of sync, and belongs at the begining of the blog after our visit to Iguazu falls…
After a 19 hour bus ride from from Puerto Iguazu and exactly 2 weeks into our travel we arrived in Buenos Aires!
We spent 4 days in total and did the usual of :
– Visiting Puerto Madero, a more modern part of BA with loads of restaurants next to a river / canal.
– Went to a tango show and learnt to tango, although I wasn't too great at It!
– Did a free walking tour to learn about Argentina's political and economical situation.
– Walked around La Boca, saw the football stadium from outside and visited Caminito.
– Walked around in San Telmo (the older part of BA) on the Sunday where the antique market stretches over countless blocks.
– Watched locals dance the night away in the open air Plazas.
– Wondered around Pallermo, a cool trendy neighbourhood with lots of bars, restaurants and street art.
– Did a free walking tour of Recoleta where we visited the Recoleta cemetery, the many palaces and parks in the neighbourhood. It was very fascinating to see that families used to live in these extravagant palaces and today there is still one palace which is occupied by a family. The owner left a will which didn't allow his family to sell or make changes to the palace!
Few things we found interesting:
– The metro only cost 8 pesos per ride! Super cheap relative to other things in BA.
– BA is filled with rubber trees that are massive and great to sit under to get out of the sun! The oldest tree we saw was 200 years old.
– The locals are very proud of their "biggest" avenue in the world.
– BA has a lot of Italian influence on the architecture of its building and it is how people showed off their wealth. The European influence in the city is due to the free flow of migration back in the day.
– The inflation in Argentina is mad and people sell / buy houses in USD dollars.
– Cash is king in Argentina. In most places if you want to pay by card they charge you an extra 5 to 10%. Also to get cash out from a machine they charge a ridiculous amount in bank fees!
– ATMs don't get refilled on the weekend so machines often run out of cash. Whilst we were there, the banks were on strike on Monday so that was 3 days of no refills!! But then again I don't know how often ours get refilled in NZ and the UK.
– Between 1976 to 1983 the country was under a military dictatorship and 30,000 sons were lost and it was illegal to have a gathering of more than 2 people in the open. The mother's of these lost sons wore old cloth diapers as headscarves and protested every week at Plaza de Mayo amongst other efforts to find their sons who had been taken by the dictatorship.
– As it's now inexpensive to carry out DNA test through the effort of the grandmothers of these lost sons, to date 125 of them have been linked back to their birth parents. One grandmother in particular, Estela de Carlotto's story is very interesting and renowned, as she was reunited with her grandson after 36 years just a few years ago.
But mostly we indulged in all the delicious treats Argentina had on offer:
– I fell in love with Dulce Leche and had it as a spread on my toast in the morning, had it in my cookies, had it as a topping on my ice cream, had it as an ice cream and…..well, you get the gist!
– Meat, meat and more meat! In particular barbequed meat (asado). The sausages are amazing!! Check out the bbq photo of a grill filled with chorizo to make choripan (a sandwich with chorizo and chimichurri)!
– Had an amazing Mexican ensalada and burger at a Mexican joint in San Telmo.
– Ate at a famous Parrilla – Don Julio. We had to wait for almost two hours but they made the wait easy by drowning us in free prosecco, empanadas and chorizo.
– Tried "mate" type of tea locals drink and share around. They drink it off a cool looking cup and a straw which ensures when you drink the tea you don't get any of the leaves.
– The italian influence also meant you could find delicious gelato and a modified version of pizzas!
We both loved Buenos Aires and agreed that it is one of the cities we would be happy to live in.

Love Island hunk Mike Thalassitis hits back at non-league boss after show exit and says he will 'easily find another team'
Former Cyprus Under-21 star was criticised by Margate boss Steve Watt for choosing the show over pre-season
LOVE ISLAND star Mike Thalassitis has hit back at Margate boss Steve Watt after his exit from the hit TV show saying he doesn't 'give a s***'.
Thalassitis was criticised by non-league manager Watt after the forward chose to find love in a villa in Majorca, rather than take part in pre-season training.
The 24-year-old was voted off of Love Island on Wednesday evening - meaning he will be able to return to football.
Keep up to date with all the latest news, gossip, rumours and done deals in SunSport's live transfer blog
Thalassitis told MailOnline: "I have no regrets. And I couldn't talk to my coach before going on the show anyway, as you have to keep it quiet.
"But I couldn't give a s*** if he said that about me. I can easily get on another team. It's just a shame that this hasn't paid off, I was only in there for a f****** week!"
This comes after the Margate boss said: "I wouldn't say I'm fuming to be honest. The disappointing factor is he hasn't let me know.
Most read in football
"It's not an ideal situation for me. I'd have appreciated at least a call to say he would be going on the show.
"It's laughable. I didn't think I'd be sitting in this position with one of my players going onto a TV show and potentially missing preseason.
"Look, he's a young good-looking lad and he's going to go in and have a bit of fun I'd imagine. As along as it doesn't affect anything down in Margate, then I won't have a problem with it."

"Let Your Kingdom Come."
—Matthew 6:10
About one hundred years ago, Jehovah installed Jesus as King in the invisible heavens. Since then, God's servants have zealously made known the blessings that Christ's Kingdom will bring. Imagine! Under the loving rulership of Jesus, the earth will become a paradise, filled with people who truly love one another. There will be no crime, no fighting, no sickness, no suffering, and no death.
Soon, those blessings will become a reality. God's Kingdom is real, and it will come and fulfill all that Jehovah has purposed. Pray for the Kingdom to come, tell others about it, and treasure the hope of all that it will do for you.

You will not find better value or quality anywhere!
Extreme Comfort Open Heel Fins - Patented Nature's Wing design
Patented split fin technology - 3rd generation split fin
Using patented Split Fin technology, the Talaria delivers more forward-going thrust than a conventional fin in terms of power to thrust ratio. This means less drag and energy expended for the same swimming speed.
Like a pair of underwater wings, Talaria gives the diver unrivalled freedom of movement underwater, especially when turning or changing direction.
The fin is made from specially formulated thermal plastic rubber, which is then fine-tuned to give an exellent balance between flexibility and rigidity.
Oversized side rails add rigidity to the blades for increased lift and efficiency. Roomy foot pocket which can easily accommodate dry suit boots. Easy on/off thumb loop.
From the manufacturers brochure
• Using the patented split fin technology, the Talaria delivers more forward-going thrust than a conventional fin in terms of power to thrust ratio. This means less drag and energy expended for the same swimming speed.

• Roomy foot pocket which can easily accommodate dry suit boots.
• Quick release buckles.
Extract from a diveoz.com.au review:
"Wow, I think I have been converted. After all the marketing hype of split fins in the past and considering that these fins are a "third generation" of split fin then maybe it is time to upgrade to a new set of fins. I would suggest that you consider trying a pair at the very least when looking at upgrading or buying new fins. I was especially impressed with the sensation of speed through the water and felt that if they performed this well with a large guy like me then the performance with someone more streamlined would be really impressive. The fins responded well to all kick styles except for the large scissor kick as would be expected. I found the Talaria split fins were good for reducing fatigue and allowed speed to be maintained with minimal effort. Would I own a pair? Yes."
Vulcanized soles - Heel cap for durability and extra protection - Built-in fin strap keeper
5mm Neoprene with side entry H/D zips. Very comfortable and easy to get on & off with the side zippers. These dive boots also have a moulded in fin strap keeper which prevents the fin strap from slipping off and gives extra comfort to the divers heel.
These are a very tough and comfortable dive boot. The neoprene is soft and flexible yet when bonded with the rubber heel cap, makes a very durable dive boot that will last you for years.
The vulcanised rubber sole gives good protection when walking across the reef to get to that fantastic dive site.
If you are into Canoeing, Kayaking, Boating, Crabbing or anywhere you have to get your feet wet, then you will not go wrong with a pair of these boots.
Tempered Glass Twin Lense Mask - Hypoallergenic Silicon Skirt
The clear skirt gives excellent peripheral vision and allows more light into the mask alleviating that claustrophobic feel of some masks. This is a high quality mask which will be at home Scuba Diving or a relaxing Snorkel around the reef.
The comfortable, high quality hypoallergenic silicon skirt fits a wide range of facial shapes with a very assuring seal. The soft silicon nose pocket has plenty of clearance for equalising with gloves on and is very soft on the nose.
Make no mistake, this mask is not a toy or a throw-away. It will last you for years with just a little bit of care after each use. (just wash in fresh water!)
- Liquid Skin
Two different silicones melded together. Firmer for the support structure and softer where the mask contacts your face.
- Tricomfort Fit
A softer material overmoulded in the area of the forehead and nose providing superior comfort.
- Mid Size Design
Because everyone has a different shaped face, a mid size mask will fit the greatest number of face shapes. The mid size mask has some overlap into the small and large designs.
Silicon Mouthpiece (replaceable) - Splash Guard - Purge Valve
This snorkel is the workhorse of our range. The soft silicon mouthpiece is easily replaced if required and the integrated purge valve makes for easy water clearance.
It also features a splash guard to channel incoming water and waves away from the air passage.
A rugged but modern looking snorkel which if looked after (washed in fresh water after every use and not left out in the sun) should give many years of service.
- Hydrodynamic Design
Contoured design to minimise drag both above and below the water.
- Anti-Splash Top
Designed to prevent any water splash from entering the breathing tube. Provides a very efficient barrier from water entering the tube when waves wash over your head or splashing from other snorkelers nearby.
- Purge Valve System
Allow any water in the tube after a dive to quickly drain out the bottom of the tube simply by lifting your head.
** It is not recommended to wear these fins with bare feet, dive boots are required.

I had one of my classes yesterday work collaboratively on creating a picture book story with Storybird (I am using it this morning with younger students in a school I am visiting). My sixth graders sure had a lot of fun with their story: The Giraffe Who Made His Way Home. I had the site up on our Interactive Board, and they were using the pen to choose images and then we "talked" through each element of the story. I had to guide them a bit around a "plot" because they would clearly have gone off in a lot of directions (note to self: remember that for today).
What I like about Storybird is that the story is inspired by the art, and not the other way around. This is a different kind of writing to be doing, particularly for students. Most of the time, they will come up with a story, and then be asked to illustrate it after the story is written. Storybird turns that idea on its head. This can be tricky at times (if there are not enough good images to use) and also inspiring when you see the artwork collections.
Here's what I noticed:
- The collaborative storywriting forces cooperation, and ideas need to get fleshed out by the group. Some students deal with this better than others. In the end, I guided discussions on each page of the story as best as I could and then helped them reach consensus and then we moved on.
- I kept talking through (modeling) how I envisioned their story might be going. "What will happen next?" I asked a number of times, and when I knew time was running out on us, it was "how will Bucky get home?" What I was really saying is, it's time to tie up the loose ends and finish the story.
- The students had a lot of choices for art and there were no disagreements when one chose a piece of art. Instead, the chosen piece immediately sparked ideas. "What about if …" is a phrase I heard a lot. There was also a lot of laughing and giggling at the artwork. That's a good sound to have.
- I could see using this collaborative activity as a guide for reinforcing story development, and then having students work in teams or by themselves to develop their own story. I'd have to think more about how the pre-writing activity might happen, since the story is dictated by the art. Maybe a writer chooses the art, puts it in sequence and then does pre-writing from there.
- And although our collaboration was in physical space, I see an option in Storybird for collaborating on a book project with someone else on the site. That might open up the doors for some other kinds of writing partnerships.
I did check out the "teacher information" at Storybird and it seems like they have a pretty decent model for setting up a classroom account, and giving accounts to students. There is a free version, which has some limits, and a paid version.
Peace (in the story),

Intimate Details
Project info
In my career as a psychotherapist I found meditating on the natural world offered respite from clients' emotional storms. When I slow down, watch, and wait, life unfolds its mysteries and things that are familiar to me give way to fields of color, shape, and texture. I begin as the observer, watching as ephemeral patterns emerge and dissolve, each moment a unique confluence of light and object. And then, life's chaos resolves into a deeply satisfying feeling of connection. In this series I've created intimate portraits that give form to the magic and mystery that I feel, and challenge the viewer to experience the extraordinary that is in the ordinary.
