A terrible virus has ravaged the earth. There are few survivors.
Human civilization as we know it is gone.
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold ...
Law and order have broken down.
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world ...
The grocery stores are empty.
The shops have been looted.
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere...
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
|By a_whisper_of_unremitting_demand
How would you survive? Would you abide by the old rules of the social contract, with compassion, kindness and generosity? Or would you accept the law of the jungle where only the strongest survive?
|by Cristian V.
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity...
Carly and Justin confront these questions at The End of All Things.
But there is still hope, a light among the shadows. If the old world is gone, it is up to the survivors to rebuild a new one.
Carly finds strength in her faith that things can be even better than they were before, that compassion and charity are not luxuries; they are what make us human.
Life endures, and so does love. The End of All Things is only a beginning.
Come what may, they will face it together with courage and love.

Performing Street Monkey, Jakarta
Animal Cruelty or Scraping a Living?
One of the more disturbing manifestations of urban poverty in Jakarta is the presence of monkeys dressed as dolls, used as props to make a living on the streets. On entering a busy intersection or are stopped at a corner, you often come across street touts selling various objects, or musicians playing guitar – all hoping to make a bit of money from commuters. Occasionally, you spot a macaques fully dressed in miniature human clothes, with a doll's mask covering its head and face. This sad sight is even more depressing when you see the "monkey-doll"s riding tiny bicycles or pretending to be tiny showgirls putting on make-up and looking at themselves in a hand mirror – the owners hoping to attract attention of the passers-by for a few thousand Rupiah (maybe 20 cents). While most of us would scream animal cruelty, we might also ask ourselves why the poor in cities like Jakarta world-wide are forced into similar situations just to scrape a living. As Indonesia has become more affluent, the numbers of monkeys performing has reduced.

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

Duke Energy Carolinas on Monday asked regulators for permission to raise its North Carolina rates by 9.7 percent, increasing typical residential bills by about $14 a month.
The increase would be the Charlotte-based utility's third since 2009. The $446 million in new annual revenue would help pay for two new power plants and upgrades to two nuclear plants, among other capital expenses.
Duke Energy Carolinas serves 1.9 million customers, about 10 percent of which are in Durham, Chapel Hill and the western Triangle. Duke's rates and the rates of its subsidiary, Progress Energy, are independent of each other. Progress has a separate rate case before the N.C. Utilities Commission.
Duke's request to the Utilities Commission would raise residential rates 11.8 percent, increasing typical monthly bills from about $103 to about $117. Commercial rates would go up 9.6 percent and industrial rates 5.3 percent.
In January 2012 the commission allowed Duke to raise rates 7.2 percent, the largest increase in more than 20 years. In 2009, rates rose 7 percent over two years.
The latest request is likely to prompt a consumer backlash as the ailing economy slowly recovers.
Consumer groups, including the powerful AARP, are already gearing up to fight a rate hike.
Hundreds of comments from people opposing the 2012 rate hike flooded the commission, and hundreds more spoke at public hearings.
N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper appealed that increase, which hiked residential bills about $7 a month, to North Carolina's Supreme Court. Cooper argues that the utilities commission didn't fully assess impacts on low-income customers. The court has not yet ruled.
Duke says the higher rates will pay for power plants with fewer air emissions. Those include the Dan River plant in Eden, which is fueled by cleaner-burning natural gas, and a new unit at its Cliffside coal-fired plant in Rutherford County that has state-of-the-art pollution controls.
The Oconee and McGuire nuclear plants also got upgrades that the higher rates would pay for.

Waterford – The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will meet with the public at 7 p.m. March 31 to present its assessment of safety performance at the Millstone Power Station in 2013.
During the meeting, which will take place at Town Hall, NRC officials will answer questions from the public about specific performance issues and the agency's role in ensuring plant safety. The NRC also will meet that day with the Connecticut Nuclear Energy Advisory Council about the assessment.
NRC officials in attendance will include: Raymond McKinley, chief of Projects Branch 5, Division of Reactor Projects; Jo Ambrosini, senior resident inspector at Millstone; and Brian Haagensen and James Krafty, resident inspectors at the plant.
The NRC's annual assessment of Millstone's performance was released on March 4. The report said that Millstone met all its health and safety objectives in 2013 and that inspections revealed no findings above "very low" safety significance.
The report can be found at: http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.

Multi-sort containers help divert waste
Queen's Hospitality Services has added new multi-sort recycling, composting and waste containers to the Mackintosh-Corry Hall dining area and the Lazy Scholar cafe in Victoria Hall as part of its ongoing waste diversion strategy.
"Gone are the days when we can just toss everything into the garbage. We need to be thoughtful about our waste and where it goes," says Joli Manson, General Manager, Hospitality Services. "These multi-sort containers have several different slots – for paper, plastic, organics and waste – and they require people stop and think about where to place their waste."
Signs are posted on the multi-sort containers, indicating what goes in each slot. If users are unsure about where to place their waste, they should put it in the garbage; placing it in the wrong slot will complicate the recycling and compost streaming process.
Queen's already diverts 95 per cent of organic waste in its dining halls. Organics bins and two industrial-size composters transform the waste into a soil supplement used on campus. The new multi-sort containers will increase the impact of the organics program by making the process front and centre, instead of behind the scenes, effectively drawing community members in as active participants in the waste diversion strategy.
Hospitality Services is working to bring the multi-sort containers to other dining areas across campus, including the Queen's Centre and the John Deutsch University Centre. Currently, all food packaging at Queen's is biodegradable or compostable. Hospitality Services is working with its suppliers and aims to have all packaging compostable in the near future.
The Sustainability Office will be tracking the multi-sort containers' waste through its ongoing waste audits.
More information on waste diversion at Queen's can be found at the Sustainability Office and Hospitality Services websites.

Hit squads 'target school fanatics'
1:22am Sunday 13th April 2014 in National News © Press Association 2014
Education hit squads are being sent into schools to root out conservative Islamic practices, according to reports.
Michael Gove wants inspectors to fail schools where religion is "getting in the way of learning and a balanced curriculum", The Sunday Times said.
Under the plans headteachers and governing bodies could be replaced by teams chosen by Whitehall officials.
"Extreme religious conservatism often acts as an entry to later problems," a Department for Education source told The Sunday Times.
"A child who is brought up, age eight, nine, 10, believing that you should segregate the sexes and hand out Islamic textbooks is more likely to be radicalised in later life.
"In our view female staff being bullied in schools and segregated assemblies are very serious matters."
It follows a pledge by Prime Minister David Cameron earlier this month that sw ift action would be taken against any school found to be ''run by extremists'' as investigations began into an alleged ''Trojan Horse'' plot by Muslim hardliners to seize control of schools in Birmingham.
Park View Academy - one of several schools at the centre of the claims - has dismissed allegations of forced segregation and promotion of al Qaida as an anti-Islam ''witch hunt'' and insisted there was ''no evidence for any of these things whatsoever''.
Birmingham City Council, the Department for Education and Ofsted have been to a number of schools in the city as part of the probe, initially prompted by a letter claiming responsibility for ''disrupting'' the leadership of several institutions.
If enough of them are judged to be "inadequate" the Education Secretary wants a wave of new investigations to be launched across state and private schools, according to the newspaper.
"The investigations will be done over several phases over the next few months and will help narrow down the schools that require further investigation by the DfE and those that are deemed OK and not connected to the Islamicisation," a Whitehall source told the newspaper.
A DfE spokesman said: " The allegations made in relation to some schools in Birmingham are very serious and we are investigating all evidence put to us in conjunction with Ofsted, Birmingham City Council and the police. It is absolutely vital these investigations are carried out impartially, without pre-judgment. It would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage."

How many times does this Government and most of the British people need telling, we live by a Christian and Democratic based laws, yet it's well known that Islam and it's followers only follow the Qu'ran, their loyalty is Islam first every time, they will and are trying every day to MAKE our Country Sharia Compliant, they have 1600 Mosques in our Country and growing, Sharia Courts, Sharia Banks they have Imams from Saudi Arabia that teach Jihad, to hate the non believers THAT'S US, they still come here, Moderate Muslims DON'T exist, they will fall into the Radical way when threatened by their leaders as they do in other Countries where Muslims are trying to have their Islamic State.
Do we ever HEAR the so called moderate Muslim in the media saying they don't like the Imams and Radicals coming here, NO, don't be fooled by the PC Laws their there to stop us debating this and many more Foreign threats to OUR Country, ignore it at our peril....and please don't come up with the racist crap, because Religion is not a race, and anyway I don't give a "scubby do", I am a British Native along with millions of others, no matter what colour who want our Country to be as was, British and Democratic....

.........It follows a pledge by Prime Minister David Cameron earlier this month that swift action would be taken against any school found to be ''run by extremists'' as investigations began into an alleged ''Trojan Horse'' plot by Muslim hardliners to seize control of schools in Birmingham........
We do not need 'swift action' we DO need action to prevent ANY religion being used as a basis for education, no matter what that religion happens to be.
A school is a place where children are communalised for the purpose of being educated, not indoctrinated by religious nutters. School HAS to be totally secular, and all these comments about special hit squads etc, are a diversionary tactic to steer us away from the FACT that religion, itself nothing but fantasy, and as such has no relevance to education.
If people wish to engage in religious belief and practices, they should do so at home, or at places specialised for the purpose, church, chapel, synagogue, and mosque.
Whatever people want is their option, it is or should not be, the option of the taxpayer to fund. That said, education is so important to whatever people get up to when they leave education, it should be illegal to bring any sort of religiousness into education or establishments where education is the foundation of that establishment.
In other words,, there should be NO religious schools at all. Never mind weeding out unacceptable practice, simply closed won all schools which are religiously based, and make it a criminal offence to engage in such practices.

SPOKANE, Wash – Tim McDonough from Spokane Valley is one of countless veterans across America dealing with the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
He served in the Air Force in Iraq and Afghanistan. McDonough's mission was to fly in and out of the combat zone to bring home those brave men and women who lost their lives fighting for our freedoms.
"We brought home the fallen," McDonough told KHQ. "Close to 214 is the number I remember of bringing guys home."
When McDonough returned home in 2006 from his final tour, he realized he wasn't the same man. He began having problems with everyday life. When he was diagnosed with PTSD, his wife suggested he be paired with a service dog.
"If somebody would have told me today I'm where I'm at, I would have told them they're crazy," McDonough said. "I fought my wife for about six months on this."
But soon, his love for his dog – and the help it gave him – transformed him. Eventually he and his wife incorporated the training program into "Shepherds for Lost Sheep," a non-profit organization that connects veterans with PTSD or traumatic brain injuries with service dogs who help them cope, calm them from nightmares or other traumatic stimuli, and stay with them around the clock. The program has already helped 35 veterans, and 28 more are on the wait list.
Now in its second year, a group of roughly two dozen veterans and trainers are meeting this week near Cheney, and many of the veterans are meeting with their dogs for the very first time.
McDonough knows what that's like; he's has had his German shepherd, Bailey, for four years and it has made a tremendous difference in his life.
"Bailey not only changed my life, she saved my life," McDonough told KHQ.
If you or someone you know needs help, visit www.shepherdsforlostsheepinc.org or call 509-697-0496 or 1-888-234-2319.

There's one last chance to see the popular panda Tai Shan at the National Zoo in Washington.
Wednesday is the 4-year-old animal's last day on view at the zoo. He will be sent to China on Thursday to become part of a breeding program.
Tai Shan was born at the zoo in 2005 and was granted a two-year extension in 2007. Under the Smithsonian's panda loan agreement, any cub born at the zoo must be returned to China for breeding.
Panda mother Mei Xiang and father Tian Tian are on a 10-year, $10 million loan until December.
Tai Shan will fly to China, along with 3-year-old female panda Mei Lan from Zoo Atlanta. They will have their own FedEx jet for the trip.

Some interesting news to come out of morning skate today for the Dallas Stars, as Mike Heika reports that Jamie Oleksiak will be a healthy scratch against the Oilers with Philip Larsen getting into a game for just the second time in six games.
I don't think this can be seen as a "bad sign" in regards to Oleksiak, rather than a chance for the Stars to get Larsen into a game against a team he played pretty well against last week. Larsen has struggled this season and with Oleksiak looking solid in the five games since being called up, the young Dane has seen his chances at ice time diminish.
The Stars will also shake things up a bit on the fourth line, with Ryan Garbutt getting the chance to add some renewed energy to the team. Antoine Roussel, who was sent down and then called back up over the weekend, will be a healthy scratch. Glen Gulutzan seemed to hint that Roussel's penalties were not well-regarded with the team, but he's going to get another chance to prove that he can remain effective while also learning to cut down on the useless penalties.
"They better because it's a chance to play, and it's a big two points for us," said Gulutzan when asked about the energy level the new players can bring, per Heika. "We trust both those players, and the opportunity to come in and contribute, they should play with lots of energy and juice."
Both Loui Eriksson and Derek Roy opted not to take part in morning skate, reports Heika, although both are expected to play. Roy is likely taking care of his groin (rimshot) while there is still a lot of questions about what seems to be ailing Eriksson.
Lines and defensive pairings are expected to be:
Morrow - Benn - Jagr
Eriksson - Roy - Ryder
Smith - Eakin - Vincour
Nystrom - Fiddler - Garbutt
Dillon - Robidas
Rome - Daley
Goligoski - Larsen
Kari Lehtonen is in goal, although what will happen tomorrow is still up in the air.
"You'll see fresh legs tomorrow," said Gulutzan, in regards to whether tonight's scratched players will hit the ice in Calgary. "We're not going to dance around keeping things together. We've got most of our core together and we're going to put guys in tomorrow that can give us some fresh legs in back-to-backs."
Moving on, some interesting news out of Edmonton....
"We're improving as a team and we're going to be capable of moving players in and out of the lineup," said Oilers coach Ralph Krueger after the morning skate. "It's about making sure we have a lineup we feel, with the players we have and the energy we need, is the one that gives us the best chance to win.
"There's no room for feelings in a season like this."
Krueger is referring to the news that veteran forward Ryan Smyth will be a healthy scratch tonight against the Stars, along with defenseman Ryan Whitney. The Oilers called up young forward Chris VandeVelde and it's clear the team is looking for some sort of spark, having lost five straight games before running into fantastically good luck in a win against Columbus, despite being outshot 14-40.
There's no doubting that Whitney is struggling this season, and last season as well, after surgeries to his knee and ankle further limited his mobility. The trade talk is starting up already that the Oilers could be looking to ship out another veteran defenseman who seemingly hit a wall in Edmonton and could never recover. Whitney has been a healthy scratch just three times in his career, all with the Oilers, and did not play in the game against Columbus.
"I thought after the last game I'd be in the lineup but I'm not," said Whitney on Tuesday. "I'm very frustrated. I want to play. We got outshot 40-14 and I'm not playing so I think that shows where their thoughts are. (But) I don't think he cares who you are. He wants to win. Whatever he thinks is the best lineup, is the one he's going to play."
There's an interesting thought at play that Krueger "shaking up the team" by sitting a couple of veterans could spark the rest of the Oilers, but that is certainly up in the air. The problem with the Oilers hasn't just been with Whitney and Smyth and there is an opinion that the Oilers have long been too easy on the young players while sacrificing the veterans that are probably on their way out anyway.
Want to send a message? Bench one of the young guys to send a message. Jordan Eberle has just two points in the past six games (when the Oilers have been struggling) so perhaps sitting a player of his caliber for a game would send a more realistic message to the team.
Perhaps this is just a case of Krueger putting what he feels is a legitimately better roster on the ice. We'll find out for sure tonight.

There are still a few months to start the 2013 Tour de France , but we know a cyclist who is not going to be in the French race, and not just because they want to or not in his plans for the season … It's Frank Schleck . The rider's Radioshack-Leopard, the largest of the more famous brothers Luxembourg, has been sentenced to one year suspension for doping, and that would be impossible in the next Tour.
Recap. In the last Tour de France, the Luxembourg rider underwent a doping test after completion of the thirteenth stage, finishing in Cap d'Agde. Two days later, it became known that this control yielded a positive result in Xipamide, a diuretic, so Frank Schleck was the suitcase and left the race. And so far, there has been more news about your case.
So far it has been known that the Luxembourg Anti-Doping Agency has decided to sanction the rider with a year. Schleck, who has not competed since he got off the bike in the Tour de France, you cannot return to the road in competition until the day July 15, 2013Provided clear thrive no possible claims that a good insurance to remove the rider lodged this penalty off.

Just in time to interfere with all the actual games we're about to have to cover, here come the ripples from BYU's Mountain West defection, with official confirmation that where the WAC has struck, the MWC will strike back with a quickness:
Where one normal-sized program leaves, it appears two snack-sized schools will serve to fill the gap. The impact on the WAC would be decidedly inconvenient:
It also would reduce the WAC to six schools in football - Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana Tech, New Mexico State, San Jose State and Utah State. Eight schools are required to be considered a football conference.
If Boise State sticks with its plan to hop to the Mountain West this year (which theoretically could still not happen), by the time this round settles we'll have a 10-team WAC (although ruling this possibility out would be a grave mistake at this early stage). Buckle up, and let's all share an exasperated sigh together as we rejoin the carousel of progress.

The ship was fine and we liked the shower door. The room was small but we are used to RCL. The room stewards were great and we tipped them extra. The free style dining was awful. Long waits in line no matter what even if you said you would eat with others which we were used to on the 13 other cruises we have sailed.
The Italian Trattoria behind the buffet place (Raffles) was no charge,great service (we tipped extra there also) and we felt like a guest. Of course, we didn't find it until the fifth day out and you did need to make reservations. The buffet kept running out of drink and food. The staff treated you like a passenger not a guest.
The shows were poor and repetitious. The comedian was fair the first time but the second and third were poor. The dancers were amateurish. Even the bands were only average... The Big Band music ...How could they make Glenn Millers' Little Brown Jug sound bad?
The spa was a slam, bam, thank you mam that will be $150. I usually get two or three massages, etc. I got one. There were charges for demos of couples massages (Princess' did not charge in 2003). Plus digital camera demo was a charge,etc.
The art announcer was great and gave a lecture on art that was informative but he talked so fast it was hard to comprehend and no questions were allowed. The five islands we went to do not compare to St John or St Thomas. We took tours around each island and went swimming. The islands are all tiny and poor. The natives were nice though aggressive at each stop. St. Lucia was the prettiest and had many beautiful homes built by foreigners. Grenada had been hit by hurricane Ivan (The same as we in Florida) 80% of the homes had been hit and US Steel, Salvation Army and the Red Cross were there but the people were just sitting around. Most of the nutmeg trees had been destroyed. A very sad experience and a reminder of our devastation also.
The comments most people shared were that the staff wasn't friendly, the dining experience was not pleasant and the food was below average. The shows and excursions were not good. We would say it was the worst food we have eaten and we have sailed on Celebrity, Princess, Carnival, and Royal Caribbean. Below average in taste and presentation. We chose this cruise because it was conveniently out of Miami but would not sail on NCL again

THERE'S A LOT OF SMOKE in the air these days in California and it's making the wine industry anxious. As smoke from the Rim Fire hangs in the air over the foothills, winemakers across Calaveras County are wondering whether smoke may permeate the fruit and potentially influence the flavor of this year's wines. And while smokiness has its place as a descriptor for some wines, that is not the case here. With enough smoke, some wine is left unmarketable with a "wet-ashtray" taste, according to studies. "The taint, characterized by objectionable smoky, dirty and burnt aromas and a lingering retro-nasal ash character on the palate, has caused significant financial loss for grape and wine producers and is therefore an issue of increasing concern," the JOURNAL FOR AGRICULTURAL FOOD CHEMISTRY said.
According to a Department of Primary Industries report from Victoria, Australia, in 2OO3, bushfires led to wineries experiencing large financial losses "down under". Australians felt the weight of financial burden caused by the fouled grapes and sought to remedy the sullied harvests. The Australian Wine Research Institute spent $4 million to discover the exact causes of smoke taint. The two main culprits in the findings were phenol-derived compounds guaiacol and 4-methylguaiacol that result in pungent and smoky tasting wine. Though vintners in Calaveras are keeping their fingers crossed, hoping that smoke from the Rim Fire isn't absorbed through grape skins, they remain optimistic. Most believe worries about smoke-tainted wine will blow over. The last fire that resulted in sooty foothill wines was the Old Gulch fire of 1992. The foothill vineyards have seen many fires over the years, including a fire in 2OO1 that blanketed rows of grapevines in smoke but failed to spoil the wine. New filtration methods that extract compounds that lead to tainted wine offer a solution to the seemingly unlikely scenario of smoke taint in Calaveras, but the solution comes with a price. "There are ways to get it out of the wine, but they are not cheap," said Jonathon Phillips, owner and winemaker at Val du Vino Winery in Murphys. "You'd have to rent a filtering apparatus and even with some of these methods, if (the smoke taint) is severe, it can still be a problem." Despite the massive financial loss smoke taint can cause, the Rim Fire seems to be far enough from Calaveras that wine quality will not suffer – but only time will tell.

Mr Burns pretty much gave me a blank check and put me on my own here. Of course he wants me to do all of the work and so I have been trying to figure out what I am going to do about a lot of different things. In essence I am a walking branch of the company here. The production facility is not coming with me, but I have the ability to make deals and sign contracts for Mr Burns. I had to find high speed internet in my area and set up an office. I still have to figure out whether or not I shall eventually have to have a secretary, but I do not have a budget for one and so I just get my messages answered for me at the real office. Mr Burns' secretary is less than thrilled with this idea. Read the rest of this entry
Getting to Know the New Area
My husband's company gave us a three year transfer to England if we wanted and we decided that it would be the best thing to be able to do. I knew that with my teenage daughter that we would have such a great time while we were over there. There were a lot of people that wanted to help us find things to do there but we wanted to try and do it on our own when we were together on the weekends. My husband went to motortrade.blog.co.uk and found that there were a few good deals on cars where he would be able to go in and buy it in cash then we could get around on our own, as finding public transportation at times was getting hard to do. There were a lot of things that my daughter wanted to do, and that was also to learn to drive while we were living over there.
I thought that it would be a great idea for us to go and teach her how to drive, even though it was on a different side that we were used to. They had a lot of cards that were only available in stick drive and we thought that was really important to teach her. I did not even know how to drive a standard car so we thought that it would be best to go and spend some time together while we were looking at them. We found a cute car that was not a brand that we had heard of before but knew that it was going to be affordable, good on gas, and a lot of fun to be able to drive around the country side as we got to get around where we knew it was going to be really great.
Considering the Future when Remodeling in Bergen County NJ
My brother had his house remodeled by a company that does interior remodeling in bergen county nj. His house is really beautiful now. I can hardly believe it is the same house. It looks so different inside. Though there was not an increase in the available square feet in the home, it obviously has more room to do things. The experts at the renovating company helped him and his wife to make much better use of the space they had. Awkward angles were eliminated. False walls and unused space were integrated back into usable space.
My wife and I wanted the same thing for our home. Our kids are grown, and we now live in a smaller cottage style home. We liked the downsizing from the big home where we raised our kids, but we really wanted to make this home ours. The only way to do that was to renovate it according to what we wanted.

Always Trust Reliant Energy in Texas
Reliant energy in texas is one of the best options you can go with. They offer exceptional quality power with very little to no interruption of service for pretty much unbeatable rates. I have talked to several of my friends down in texas and they all tell me that at least for their area this is the company to go with. They are always friendly and non agressive when it comes to sales. If there is a descrepency with your bill they will always try to side with you unless you are just blatantly wrong.

High and Low, It's There
My son and his friends were talking about how when they play video games against each other online that they noticed a lag when a few of his friends were playing with them. The friends that were lagging were saying that they must have a slower internet speed and that is the reason why they were slower to appear. One of the lagging kids said that his parents only wanted to pay for the cheapest internet and that if they could, they would get rid of it all together. Read the rest of this entry
Working to Get the House Sold
I have been sort of walking this young couple through the process of trying to buy a house. They love my place and I would like to sell it to them if things are going to be worked out to a mutual agreement. However they really just have no idea what they are doing and I will have to help them with all of the stuff they need. The house is perfect for two young people in fact. I downsized to this place after my kids moved out and now I am going to a condo. home insurance specials are one of the things that they need to be looking at it I am thinking, because it looks like they are sort of on the border line when it comes to their ability to make this deal. At least they will have a lot of trouble with the initial costs of the sale. Read the rest of this entry
Looking for the Best SIM Only Deals
I did not mind pay-as-you-go mobile deals, but I do a lot of texting and have found myself using a lot more minutes lately. I think it will remain that way for the foreseeable future. I figured that one of the better SIM only deals would be best for me. Something with an annual contract that I can pay for month to month. There are different companies out there that provide SIMS for mobiles, I was looking for one that had unlimited voice and text with a liberal amount of data for a low monthly rate.
I own my mobile, so obviously I just need the SIM to get it going. Read the rest of this entry
Working on the Cottage Now
I spent the afternoon up at the piece of land where I am going to build my vacation cottage. It is going to be a place where me and the boys can go hunting. First off I need to clear the land, although I obviously do not want to overdo it. I just want to have enough land to build a log cabin type of abode and to have a clear view from the porch. I have been talking to a guy who has a tree service in asheville nc, which is about half an hour away from this piece of land. I figure that if he gives me a good price I would be more than happy to let him do that part of the job. Read the rest of this entry
Pricing for Adjustable Dumbbell Sets
I am going to start trying to get into shape in the near future. I have not been concerned enough about my health in recent years, but I have decided to change that. I want to live a healthier lifestyle, and reduce my risk of disease. I know that I will need to start eating more healthy, but I also want to start to exercise again. I have been browsing, www.adjustabledumbbellsbuy.com, to try to find a set of adjustable dumbbells to buy for my house.
I think that they would be a good addition to the house, and really help for me to start exercising again. I like the idea of lifting some weights, doing some bicep curls, and other exercises. I think that the adjustable weights have a number of advantages other traditional types of dumbbells, and that they would help for me to progress with my strength training more quickly.
Having a wide range of options, would allow me to start out at a lower weight, and then work myself up to heavier weights, as appropriate. I want to look into what sort of weight ranges I can get for different adjustable dumbbell systems. I am thinking that something that starts out at around 20 pounds would be appropriate for me. I don't see myself working with less than 20 pounds to begin with, but I know that I would not want to start out at 35 pounds either. I need to ease myself into working out, and getting into shape, in order to reduce my risk of injuring myself in the process. I would like to be able to adjust them pretty high, in terms of how much total weight they will go up to. Maybe I am just being overly optimistic about how strong I will get though.
Working on My New Project
I am going to have to find someone who can take care of a pretty nice bit of building construction management in nyc. I have sold off the old business location and for the moment I closed up shop. The real estate was worth more than the business and I got a great price for it. Of course one of my rivals bought out the business, along with the inventory and he gave most of my people jobs. I did not want to put people out on the streets with no work, even though this was the best thing for me. In fact the ones who did not catch on there were ready to retire pretty much. We had a high preponderance of very experienced workers, people who had been with my father from the beginning quite often. Read the rest of this entry
We Can Never Change Our Ways
Summer is already here, skipping spring with all the furor of a tornado's roar. Already our country is being battered about with storms wrecking the south, heat waves in the west breaking records and setting fires while us in the east watch on with a sense of dread and relief that it hasn't happened to us yet. Yet. It's going to, no doubt, and I've already prepared by servicing my air conditiioning in bergen county nj. Every year I remind my neighbors that they really should do the same themselves.

A Tombstone for My Uncle
When my uncle lost his battle with cancer, my aunt was not able to handle a lot of the funeral details because of her intense grief. They helped my mom raise me, so I am very close to her. I offered my assistance, and she gratefully accepted it. I handled most of the details at the funeral home and cemetery. I was told that we would have time to select a marker at the grave site, and I figured she may want to help with that part. I showed her a company that sells monuments in nj a few weeks after the funeral. Read the rest of this entry
The Right Plumber for Your Emergency Needs
The modern household is one of the best places that are ever available for human beings in their documented history. Unlike the case of our forefathers who were much more exposed to the forces of mama nature, the modern man is pampered with the new developments in science and technology has provided her. Air conditioning, room heating, water pipe lines, sewer lines etc. make life a lot easier for us than our forefathers. But, these facilities can break down at any time of the day or night. Then you will need the services of a plumber in morris county nj to come and fix the problem for you.
It is always good to have a reliable plumber a phone call away from you to arrive immediately and fix your emergency plumbing problems. This is equally true about homes and businesses. In case of businesses, the problem is much more severe. If there is an emergency situation, then the possibility of closing the entire business operation is a real threat. If such a situation arises, then the losses accrued by the owner can be too much. Read the rest of this entry
Professional Sewer Service with a Smile
I currently live in the first home I've ever owned on my own before. I still have a lot to learn about home ownership, and there are things I'm learning on a daily basis. I had no idea that it was possible for a drain to become backed up so quickly. I found myself looking for help online, searching for sewer cleaning in westchester county. I was able to find a reputable company rather quickly. I decided to read some of the reviews, and they were all favorable. People talked about how they had really great customer service and were always on time. That's exactly what I needed.
I was able to have someone come out to my home the very same day. When I opened the door he greeted me with a smile. He was polite and courteous, and professional as well. I told him exactly what the problem was, and he got right to work. In less than an hour he had not only fixed my sewer problem, but he had packed up all of his things and cleaned the surrounding area. That's what I call exceptional service. You wouldn't even know that I had sewer and drain issues by the time he left. I think him for his help and he went on his way.
The very next week I found myself needing assistance again. It was a completely unrelated issue, probably due to the age of the pipes in the house. I called my trusty sewer service again, and they came back to save me from my plumbing nightmare. It was a different technician this time, but he was just as friendly and professional. Once again, he finished the job relatively quickly, and by the time he left everything was in working order. I'm really impressed with the quality of service I have received on both occasions.
Great Roof Repair Companies in Queens
The shingles on my roof at pretty messed up, and apparently they have been letting water into my house for quite some time now, which is quite a major problem. I am pretty sure that some of the underlying boards are rotten now, and they will need to be replaced. I need to find a great company that specializes in roof repair in queens and also does their services for pretty cheap prices, considering that I do not have a whole lot of money to spend right now.
I am hoping to get the roof repaired soon, because it is winter, and apparently the process of snow freezing on the roof, and then melting, and freezing once again, is really contributing to the damage that is taking place on my roof. I guess that a lot of that sort of damage occurs in the actual shingles, and it is allowing water to get between the shingles, and to get trapped in the underlying wood. Read the rest of this entry
Improving My Property by Hiring a Professional
I recently bought a new home on a huge lot. I love my home and everything about it, and I especially love how much space I have surrounding my home. In my old home, I didn't really have to worry about trimming trees because I didn't have much land. Now that I have this great property, I need to find tree service in nassau county. I thought that the Internet would be a great place to start my search. I didn't realize that there would be so many options out there. I found that one website in particular was extremely helpful, so I decided to explore it a little bit more.
The company I found specialized in all different types of tree services. They could help me with tree pruning, tree trimming, general landscaping, and tree removal. Basically if I had any tree-related needs, they would be able to assist me. Read the rest of this entry
Repairing the Roof That Was Going to Help Me
I own a building in the Big Apple and I have a lot of tenants that depend on me in case something goes wrong with the building. Everyone in the building rents from me and I have a super that will take care of day to day maintenance but I knew that I was going to have to hire a roofing contractor in manhattan ny that was going to be able to come to my roof and tell me how much it was going to cost to fix it. I own a building in the financial district so all of my tenants work near the old World Trade Center area and I had the roof done right after they came down due to all of the garbage the ruined the roof but it was over ten years ago and I knew that my insurance would cover it due to the bad storm we recently had.
I had a few people come and give me estimates but as soon as it got out that I was going to be paying for a new roof the tenants started to talk about other things that they would like to have on the roof. So I told them that if I made a nice patio on the top that they could host parties on with lounge chairs then they would be responsible for cleaning up after themselves and they agreed that they would like to have some sort of outdoor space. I even had a woman tell me that she wanted a pool but I told her that was not going to happen because of permits and the expense that it would cost and that I would not be doing that in my lifetime, she said that she just wanted to try and ask me.
Gaining Muscle with Some Help
I've put on a lot of muscle in the past year. I started at the beginning of last year, doing a workout routine with lots of weight lifting. I wasn't getting very good results with my workout. My body was becoming more tone, but I wasn't putting on much muscle. I tried adjusting my workout some, but I still got the same results. A friend of mine recommended that i try a product called pure muscle pro. I hadn't heard of the product before, and I was a little reluctant to try it because of this.
I did some research on the product that my friend recommended. It's not that I didn't trust my friend, I just didn't want to try any products without learning more about them first. Read the rest of this entry
It Has Been a Long Time Coming
Hosting on land is a thing of the past, we use offshore hosting these days and it works wonders on the problems that we used to have. You see before you would have to find a country with negative relations to the us and then convince them to host your server there and it was just a big pain in the neck. But now we use offshore hosting, and it is just so much better than anything that we have ever had previously. Read the rest of this entry
Big Head Todd and the Monsters
- Big Head Todd and the Monsters
Event on 2014-01-18 19:00:00
with Featuring Ronnie Baker Brooks and Hazel Miller
Since their formation in the mid-'80s, Big Head Todd & the Monsters have continued to evolve and explore, moving beyond their Colorado club circuit roots to become one of the mostadventurous, respected and durable bands in America. Through constant touring and a zeal to travel down new musical avenues in the studio, BHTM (as their dedicated fans call them) have honed their collective stew of influences into a trademark hybrid sound that's immediately recognizable. Now, with Black Beehive, their maiden release on Shout! Factory (February 4, 2014), the quartet has made its most personal and poignant album to date, a collection of new studio tracks that, says co-founder and figurehead Todd Park Mohr, "allows us to truly reach our audience through the language of the blues." Recorded at Butcher Boy Studios in Chicago, Mohr's hometown of the past seven years, and produced and mixed by Grammy-winning multi-instrumentalist Steve Jordan (whose previous production credits include John Mayer, Buddy Guy, Solomon Burke and Robert Cray), Black Beehive arrives a quarter-century after the group's debut album, Another Mayberry, first put Big Head Todd & the Monsters on the map beyond their home base. Today, the original trio—Mohr on guitar and vocals, Brian Nevin on drums and vocals and Rob Squires on bass and vocals—along with keyboardist/pedal steel guitarist Jeremy Lawton, who joined in 2004, are still opening themselves to new possibilities even as they further explore their roots. "It has some contemporary elements that bridge a gap between alternative pop and traditional blues," says Mohr about Black Beehive, whose title refers to the late British soul singer Amy Winehouse, the inspiration behind the album's title track. The band approached the recording in an old-school organic fashion, playing together in the studio, which Mohr describes as "a big open space," and sticking to the basics. "I played resonator guitar on almost every song and most of the album is kind of simple: guitar, slide guitar, drums and bass," he says. "We only had two guests on the album. One was Eddie Shaw, who was Howlin' Wolf's harmonica player for many years, and Ronnie Baker Brooks, who played guitar. And Steve Jordan played on almost every track—various things, percussion, rhythm guitar." Jordan, whose incredible career began when he joined Stevie Wonder's band as a teenager, later going on to perform in the Saturday Night Live band, Paul Shaffer's World's Most Dangerous Band on Late Night with David Letterman, and backing John Belushi and Dan Akroyd when they toured as The Blues Brothers, has an unbelievable production roster but is also well-known as a drummer. A member of the John Mayer Trio, Jordan also toured and recorded with Keith Richards and the X-pensive Winos, joined Eric Clapton for his 2006 European tour, and has also worked with Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, B.B. King, James Brown and more. Mohr first met Jordan through the legendary guitarist Hubert Sumlin, who died in 2011. "We were planning to have an 80th birthday party for Hubert," says Todd, "and Steve was the musical director. When Hubert passed away it ended up being a tribute at the Apollo Theater: Eric Clapton and Billy Gibbons and Keith Richards—there were probably 35 incredible musicians at this thing. I was immediately awestruck by Steve's command of the material and his understanding of it and his ability to get it done on short notice with all these people. I thought this guy would be an unbelievable producer for me to work with. I sent him some demos and he was up for it." As he began writing material for the album, Mohr drew from both his own life experiences and events in the news. The title track was written following Winehouse's death. "I love her voice andher performances, and obviously her shenanigans were part of her persona," says Mohr. Several other songs were also ripped from the headlines, including "We Won't Go Back," which Mohr penned about the 2010 Arab Spring uprisings in the Middle East, and "Fear, Greed and Ignorance," whose topical lyrics declare that it's those three dishonorable traits that are "driving you America off the edge of the road." Not every track is quite so pointed, however. "Hubert's Dream," is a nod to the late Mr. Sumlin, while album opener "Hey Delila" is Mohr's tribute to another blues giant, Memphis Minnie. "I happened to acquire a great example of her instrument, which was a 1941 Spanish National resonator guitar. Plus, she has an incredible life story," he says. "Everything About You" is dedicated to NASA, who called upon BHTM to awaken the Discovery space shuttle crew with their song "Blue Sky" in 2011, marking the first time live music was ever used for that purpose. Among the album's other tunes, "Josephina" and "Seven State Lines" are what Mohr describes simply as "blues-based themes," while "I Get Smooth" is "a comedy piece." The cautionary tale "Travelin' Light" is the story of lovers who "threw away our hearts and fled" and the moving "Forever Bonnie" is based on a true story of a "gentleman who got a love letter delivered to him 53 years later by the Postal Service." Black Beehive also includes, as a bonus track, Big Head Todd & the Monsters' burning take on the Jimmy Reed blues classic "Baby What You Want Me To Do," a song that Jordan requested they cut. For BHTM, Black Beehive serves as both a reaffirmation of the band's roots and a step into the next 25 years. Founded as a trio in Boulder, Colorado in 1986, Big Head Todd & the Monsters quickly built a strong reputation on the local club circuit. As word of their soulful and intense live show traveled around the nation they found themselves filling larger and larger venues. BHTM have now played Denver's historic Red Rocks Amphitheatre more than 20 times, and are embedded in the fabric of Colorado's music scene. Beginning with Another Mayberry in 1989, critics noticed what audiences at BHTM live shows already knew. The All Music Guide praised the "subtlety of Mohr's lyrics" and his "individual world view." But it was the follow-up, 1990's Midnight Radio, that truly established the band as a creative force to be reckoned with. Its popularity led to a major label contract and the release of the platinum-selling Sister Sweetly in 1993. With subsequent albums such as 1994's Strategem and 1997's Beautiful World, the band earned a place among the top names on the jam band circuit, solidified by 1998's Live Monsters, the first official concert recording by Big Head Todd & the Monsters. Riviera was released in 2002, followed by 2004's Crimes of Passion, of which The London Times stated "American rock doesn't get anymore classy than this." Later that year, Live at the Fillmore was released to critical praise. All Music Guide called the release, the band's first with Jeremy Lawton, "loud, proud, and full of righteous raw ambience." The band, which has always proudly controlled its own business dealings and marketing, gave away 2007's All the Love You Need through their email list, radio stations, and magazines. Their ninth studio album, Rocksteady, followed in 2010. Said Examiner.com, "With Rocksteady, the Colorado boys prove they can sprinkle in a plethora of differing music styles and still rock." 2011's 100 Years of Robert Johnson, the album preceding Black Beehive, found the group paying tribute to the pioneering bluesman while performing as Big Head Blues Club (along with other notable blues legends, including B. B. King, Charlie Musselwhite, Cedric Burnside, David "Honeyboy" Edwards, Sumlin, Ruthie Foster, and Lightnin' Malcolm). The band toured behind the album with a few of the guest artists, marking some of the final performances by both Edwards and Sumlin. Mohr paid tribute to Sumlin in 2012 when he served as a featured artist at his tribute show at the Apollo Theatre.With all of that history behind them, it would be easy for Big Head Todd & the Monsters to play the nostalgia card and fall back on past glories, but that's of no interest to them. BHTM still performs, and devoutly loves, the material that first brought them to their fans – material they now approach with a fresh, seasoned perspective. "As a writer and as a human being there's a big difference between being 21 and 47," says Mohr. "Having said that, I think a lot of those compositions are still lyrically sound, even though it's hard for me to imagine that I would have had the experience to write about the stuff I did. Obviously, I think the band has gotten better over the years because when you develop yourself you continue to improve, and I think we have improved musically. As a writer, I'm really pleased with where I'm at right now." "A lot of it had to do with my experience with the Robert Johnson project," he adds. "That had a large impact on how I looked at music. For a large portion of my career, I've been trying to reproduce the success of Sister Sweetly, just as a touchstone of 'this is a pop song, or rock-pop.' Pop songs have pretty narrow rules when it comes down to it. Generally you need a chorus and a bridge. The blues material from Robert Johnson's day, the prewar blues, was so fascinating to me because of the fact that it is pop music but there are no choruses. It's a different way of having repetition and themes and a different goal for a pop song. The music is shared by everybody because it's passed down through tradition. The whole spirit of what one is going for is radically different than pop and that really became exciting for me because I could see a new way to reach people." When Big Head Todd & the Monsters launch their extensive national tour behind Black Beehive in January—which will continue through the summer and hit most major markets—they will be honing the album's ageless blues along the way, and simultaneously affirming their own longevity. It's clear that they possess a rare musical wholeness that has not only survived for 25 plus years, but still has them looking forward to creating music together night after night. "The other guys have shown great support of my songwriting and what I'm able to do, and all of the band members bring a lot to the plate, both musically and as a unit," says Mohr. "No one ever expects a band to last this long. We're very, very lucky."

Almost Done Remodeling Dad's Place
I am sort of living in two cities right now, trying to get my Dad's business sorted out for him. He would never have willingly left his house and moved in with us across the Delaware River in the Philly Suburbs, but it just got to the point where he could not argue any more. I just got finished dealing with the guy who I hired to replace the heat pump and remodel the bathroom. Of course he subcontracted part of the job to a plumber in morris county nj, but then he tried to short the guy on the payment. Read the rest of this entry

Going from a Homemade Product Sold at Flea Markets to Selling Online
When I made a product in my garage using a thermoplastic injection molding machine, I started to sell it at local flea markets. A friend told me I should sell it online. It is made of a tough polymer and will last indefinitely. I saw a need and made a product to fill it. I spent a little money for the small machine to make it, but I knew nothing about selling it online. My friend told me I should check out what Frank Kern says about selling your products online. I figured I would give it a shot.
I did not want to continue with the flea market circuit in my area. I got a bit weary setting up and tearing down and all of my weekends being spent selling my product. I wanted to at least make as much as I was at the outdoor markets with online sales. I started to learn how to get it done.
Doing a Lot of Research Right Now
We have decided that we are going to need a lot of new stuff. Of course Meghan has a great job and just got a raise and now that we have gotten settled in the house our monthly expenses are actually a great deal less. The house we bought is very efficient, meaning that it is cheap to pay the utility bills and the house payment is a lot less than what we were paying in rent. I am going to need to find an excellent resource to do the research though, because it turns out that new furnishings are really expensive. At least if you want the good stuff it is going to be that way.

The Untethered Free Market of Flea Markets
Money. It's everything. It defines our life whether we want it to or not. No matter what we do or where we live in the United States, it is money that is driving us in some way. My parents were very aware of this while I was growing up which lead them to dabble in quite a few side projects to help pay the bills. My dad liked to use his dewalt dw745 cutting saw to make all sorts of fantastical wooden toys – one of his favorite projects was a train set that was carved in the shape of a name. These were huge hits at the flea market where they had an open boot. From balloons to mop dolls and wooden toys of all shapes and sizes, my parents were able to make enough money to help feed us, clothe us and keep us all happy! I loved going to the flea market with them whenever I got the chance.
The sights, the smells, the crowd of people bustling throughout as they rummaged through table after table haggling deals, bartering and trading.

Potassium is a dietary mineral that helps balance your body's pH and body fluids, so it's important for normal blood pressure regulation (it works in opposition to sodium). It's also needed for normal muscle growth, and for nervous system and brain function.
Measuring Potassium With Blood Tests
Most of your body's potassium is inside the cells with about two percent is found in your blood. Your body likes to keep the amount of potassium in your blood at a certain level, but it may fluctuate due to kidney disease, diabetes, vomiting, as a side effect to certain medications, fluctuating hormone levels, or the amount of potassium in your diet.
Too Much or Too Little Potassium
Hyperkalemia is the condition of having high blood levels of potassium. It's usually due to an underlying medical condition such as kidney disease or diabetes. Very high levels can be damaging to your heart.
Hypokalemia is a condition where the potassium levels in your blood are too low. This may happen because you don't get enough potassium from your diet, but it is more commonly caused by digestive problems such as chronic diarrhea or excessive vomiting.
Certain hormonal disorders like Cushing's disease, and some medications such as diuretics and laxatives can also cause hypokalemia.

A video on the SW City Youtube channel has topped the Reddit SimCity "Hot" list, taking the #1 position overnight, and has hit #32 on that page's Top list. The video details a game-breaking "bug" with the game's simulation engine that makes it nearly impossible for an unskilled individual playing the game normally to create a failed city.
Says SW Comit:
One big difference between Simcity and the previous games is that sims will move into, and develop plots before factoring in how they feel about the city.
In simcity 4, zones would remain as barren, empty fields if the city did not provide adequate jobs, or just in general was a terrible place to live. And this threshold of expectations would grow as the city grew, driving the player to make their city better and more well designed.
Now, all zones are developed, regardless of conditions. The sims will then later make their decision on if they'd like to stay or not, but not before forking over a few months worth of tax income! A mayor would only need to keep bulldozing abandoned buildings to exploit this behavior for as long as he'd like.
This behavior on the part of the game's graphic engine essentially renders the mechanic of balancing the RCI (Residential/Commercial/Industrial) demand obsolete, and implies that much of what one does in their gameplay currently has little to no effect on the total number of inhabitants that reside within their city.

has been updated to display some recently and not-so-recently added AWG packs. I have also added the (SWI) suffix to AWGs that feature SWI content, such as shops, characters, games, and utilities.

Yes we know, the Academy and Swiki wiki software is broken. We are working to fix it... or are we? O_O
