Tino - Back In '86
Artist: Tino
Producer: SMKA
Album: Friendly Reminder EP
Avg Rating: 4.0 ( 3 total votes )
Booth newcomer Tino has been living and breathing hip-hop since Ronald Regan was in office and Ferris Bueller was in theaters. Even Back in '86 he knew he was destined to become an emcee. As a childhood dream the thought is glamorous, but the reality of making music as your one and only profession is anything but. For Tino, however, there was never any other choice; this s**t is in his blood. How do I know? Well, for starters, his raspy, poignant flow drips with a passion and love for hip-hop. Atop a swooning, emotional beat from SMKA (taken from one of their free beat tapes) Tino uses said flow to wrestle with making his dreams come true against all odds and the heart he displays will have you rooting for him by songs end. If you want more from the Cleveland native, be sure to check out his Friendly Reminder EP, out now via Audiomack.

Great service
I've had this product before so I knew what to expect but even so it is a top class product - worth the money
Really love using this product, there is lots of postive feedback however I haven't used it long enough to judge if it's antiaging.
Such a fabulous smell and my skin feels/looks better already!
Exactly what I wanted skin feels lovely and soft and hydrated in the morning.

V good product
Bought from Feel Unique due to competitive prices.

Creek Turnpike construction begins Monday for expansion from Highway 75 to Memorial in south Tulsa
TULSA - Drivers in South Tulsa are bracing for a major highway expansion project.
Starting at 8 p.m. Monday, the Turnpike Authority will start putting barrels in place and moving dirt in the median in preparation for expanding the road from four lanes to six from Highway 75 to Memorial.
The Turnpike Authority says 58,000 vehicles a day travel that stretch of road.
Agency spokesperson, Jack Damrill says during rush hour, that stretch of road is too congested to be considered safe -- and as more businesses develop along that area, the congestion will only get worse. That he says, is why the work will begin immediately.
It's bad news for drivers like Bradley Griffin who use this stretch of road daily.
"It just seems like they're adding extras that shouldn't be started until the others are completed," says Griffin. "But I guess we just have to drive where we drive."
He says the construction will likely add at least 10 minutes each way to his commute. "I like my sleep and now it's going to take some of it so I can get to work on time."
The Turnpike Authority says it will try to keep both lanes open in each direction during the project, which is expected to take about a year.
But traffic will be narrowed to one lane occasionally for short periods of time.
Paul Logsden and his co-workers are in the landscaping business and they have to face the construction in order to make their living.
"I have to do a lot of re-routes," says Logsden, "We go direct - on the Broken Arrow, on all the highways. So have to just endure it."
His co-worker Angelo Lacirignola is also frustrated with all the construction he encounters daily.
"All the time, everywhere we go there's some type of construction," he says. "And it's just becoming a little aggravating."
The speed limit will drop to 55 miles per hour in the construction zone. Troopers will be posted to make sure drivers slow down.

DO NOT TAKE ONLINE. Nice in person but awful to deal with online. Does not post grades but sends out a "progress report" with everybody's student ID on it. You can basically find out who is failing by looking at their email address. Takes off points as she pleases with no explanation or if there is a comment it is vague and contradictory. Avoid.
Was a horrible experience. Got an email mid way stating all my work was good. Yet she claimed I missed assignments. Only course I didn't get an "A" in. Other students claimed she gave them an incomplete grade that was completely unwarranted.
She is a good teacher and none of the assignments are hard and you can really learn a lot that you didn't know about computers.
She's very particular, if you make one small mistake she'll not accept the assignment. She's pretty easy but petty about little things. There were multiple times I e-mailed her and she did not reply. If I had the choice I would def NOT take her again.
Gives you projects and information to explore and learn through her online teaching. She promptly responds to any questions.
great teacher. it's important to read the book. i took her class as a hybrid, which seemed a lot easier. she helps as much as she can if you talk to her.
Boring class.
She is a wonderful instructor if you don't know the basics. She makes the material very clear and the assignments are explained very well. If you want a teacher that has clear expectations of what she wants out of you, this is the one. Very Helpful!
Rymes with rich. If she likes you you do well otherwise look out.
She is a great teacher who is willing to help you if you are willing to do the work. Complete the study guides before you have to go over them in class and you will do fine on the test. I learned a lot in this class!!

QPR will not get automatic promotion back to the Premier League this season, so if they are to be promoted they will need to do it via the playoffs.
Loic Remy – in French colors
QPR have been losing too many game this year, and at the moment they are 4th top of the Championship and 13 points behind second placed Burnley, and there are only five game to play.
And their striker Loic Remy will certainly not be returning to the London club, and their manager Harry Redknapp has said today that it's his understanding the 27 year-old French striker wants to join a Champions League club.
This is what Harry has said:
"Remy wants to play Champions League football next season, so they tell me,"
"He's done well at Newcastle, and one or two other big clubs are trying to get him, so there's every chance he will go."
"He's a goal scorer, and with the right team pushing to get in the top four, he's capable of getting 20 goals."
The question now is which club will he join, and it looks like he could stay in London with Tottenham having said they had already made, what they call a reasonable offer for the player.
Arsenal are the other club he's been strongly linked with, but a potential problem there is if Arsenal don't qualify for the Champions League, and that would be the first time they have failed to qualify under manager Arsene Wenger, with Everton pushing them hard.
And one of their players – Santi Cazorla – has already said if Arsenal cannot win titles he will want to leave and would be delighted to return to Spain.
Why players say these kind of things we have no idea – but it's so unprofessional – and obviously Cazorla is not exactly fully committed to Arsenal.
However, if Arsenal do finish 5th this season then maybe Loic Remy will have to reconsider, although Tottenham will not make the Champions League either.
So if Loic really wants Champions League play next season he may have to look to a club other than Arsenal and Tottenham.
Comments welcome.

Crime is an exciting new queer experimental goth-pop duo from Berlin, consisting of Mika Risiko of Sissters and Scream Club member Sarah Adorable, who started the project last summer. The duo has reached out to the public for the first in September with the beautiful video to their first single "This Party Blows", followed by an extensive tour through Germany and the Czech Republic in November and December and a couple of additional gigs in Berlin in the last few months. Their latest song "Other Kids Live", another dark, synth-heavy track, was released a few days ago on Soundcloud and we recommend giving it a listen.
As a contribution to our PICK 5 series Mika and Sarah have send us a commented list of their five favorite videos – an entertaining insight on their influences and interests. We're especially happy about the video by Los Angeles based artist Jeepneys, who we just recently have stumbled upon, but haven't managed to feature on the blog yet. For more contributions to our PICK 5 series by artists such as Cakes Da Killa, Alexis Blair Penney or Kool Thing please check out the section's archive.
1. Harmony Korine – "Act da Fool"
"This theme of us against the world is touching, and the video is filmed in this slow dreamy way that mimics how she describes the pace of their everyday life in a small town. It has this feeling of going nowhere but still living for today and looking to the future. Not to mention these girls are total hot babes. It's easy to relate to the need of going wild due to stagnation and the inability of coping with the outside world."

In the summer of 2012, undergraduate student at Parsons The New School for Design in New York City, Yulan Grant, had the idea to make a zine. Her theme: a visual history of baby hairs, a technique of gel-sculpting the wispy hairs at one's hairline, popular in Black and Latino culture. Given her studies in graphic design, she had no issue with the visuals, but needed writing. For this, she contacted her close friends and schoolmates at the affiliated Eugene Lang College The New School for Liberal Arts, Brandon Owens and Justin Allen. Brandon wrote two haiku on the topic, and Justin, a piece of prose poetry. Before the end of the summer the zine was finished, copies printed. By fall, it had been included into traveling zine archive the POCZine Project.
Soon their zine, simply titled Baby Hair, would be traveling the country with the works of numerous other people of color that decided to bypass the publishing industry in favor of complete artistic freedom. But not before they were offered a gig by aspiring curator Johnny Sagan.
Early meetings with Sagan, under the curatorial name Snowy Wilderness, left both Grant and Allen in bewilderment. Tasks were listed off at a rapid pace and seemed both promising and abstract. The gig: Sagan, curating a series of art shows in collaboration with Brooklyn-based gallery Superchief at Lower East Side bar and gallery space Culturefix, had gotten a hold of a copy of Baby Hair and wanted Grant and Allen to produce in house zines to accompany the gallery shows. Their first project, a zine for House of Ladosha's show THE WHOLE HOUSE EATS.

The video below is a recording of "The Episodes", a performance event by Oakland based writer, zine-maker, musician (Gravy Train!!!! / The Younger Lovers) and dancer Brontez Purnell, which was held at San Francisco's The Garage between the 7th and the 16th of March and will be shown another two times at Temescal Art Center in Oakland this weekend (24th/24th). It is presented by THEOFFCENTER.
The evening opens with a screening of the beautiful B&W short film "Free Jazz" by the Brontez Purnell Dance Company, which was founded by Brontez in 2011 and debuted with a "Free Jazz" performance piece at the Berkeley Art Museum in the same year. The film is shown to the public for the first time and was recorded as well, check out the trailer here.
What I've posted below is the actual "The Episodes" performance – a 30-minute piece, for which Brontez has collaborated with performers Anthony R. Lucas and Sophia Wang. The piece deals with the power of everyday routines and shakes them up, with the "ultimate goal (…) to blur, destroy, (and most importantly) recreate the sacred repetitiveness of the everyday ritual of being human" (event description). It's a lot of fun and I recommend to take your time to watch the whole thing. For a longer review of the show please visit the blog of RADAR productions, a San Francisco-based non-profit that produces literary happenings around the Bay Area.
The evening was recorded by queer performance ethnographer Mark McBeth, who explores and documents the Bay Area performance scene with videos, interviews and photography. Check out his Vimeo page for more of his recordings and his website for information about his work.

After his full-length feature I Want Your Love and the premiere of his James-Franco-collaboration Interior. Leather Bar. at the Berlinale in February filmmaker Travis Mathews is back with a new episode of his In Their Room series. The documetary project, which portrays gay men and their sex live and dating habits in their bedrooms, started in 2009 as a short film series for BUTT magazine with protagonists from San Francisco, followed by a full-length Berlin episode in 2010. For the third part Mathews has travelled to London and the result looks nice and a little bit more diverse than the previous episodes. The film, which was successfully funded on Kickstarter in spring 2012, will be previewed this week at the International Film Festival Prague and premiere next month at the Fringe! Film Fest in London (April 11-14). Fore more information about Travis' work and the ITR series please check out our interview with the filmmaker from 2011.

Zemmoa is based in Mexico City and has caused quite a buzz in her home country throughout the past few five years – especially in the club scene and the queer community. Today the singer, artist, model and style icon has released the video to her new single "Te Enterraré El Tacón" ("I'll stab you with my heel!"), and we've taken the video premiere as an occasion for a little chat with her about her self-image as an artist, working as a queer artist in Mexico and the video itself.
CF: You write your own music, you co-direct your videos, you do your own styling. Is it important for you to be in charge of everything that is related to your work?
Zemmoa: If I define myself as an artist in constant learning, I think everyday are wise and always have something to teach us. We are all equal but also very unique because we have different stories and inspirations, and we all have something to say. I am 100% involved with everything I do because it's my way to express and discuss my views on life and love, and my own point of view may seem similar to someone else, but it'll never be the same.
I saw you directed a short film dedicated to Pedro Almodovar…
I always dreamed of meeting and working with Pedro, but at the same time I'm impatient, so I did my own mini movie tribute to Pedro to treat myself and to please that dream.

How many films have changed your life? What at first glance seems to be a tough question, becomes something pretty clear to me when I remember the first time I saw Arrebato by Spanish director Ivan Zulueta. Unfortunately, it wasn't at the original première in 1980 – I was born four years later -, but at least I had the chance to see a special screening in an old Madrilenian porn cinema as part of the promotional events that came along with the release of the deluxe DVD edition.
Anyway, far from a porn movie, what you get for nearly two hours is a raw and deeply emotional experience through Zulueta's inner obsessions, such as childhood memories subtly showing the so-called Peter Pan complex or his self-destructive love for the cinema itself, taken up until the very last consequences. In fact, the relationship depicted among the main characters and the cinema proves to be even more addictive and dangerous than the heroin openly injected by themselves.

We're proud to present the first video by Oakland based artist Tyler Holmes, who we've already featured about a year ago when he released his third album "The Exorcism Of Tyler Holmes". The song "Your Eyes Are Bigger Than Your Stomache" can be found on the new album "Daddies", about the video Tyler writes: "Like the song it is about biting off more 'romance' than you can chew. Sometimes you choke to death so be careful. This video is me learning to chew by almost losing my life." You can download the song here for free, the album "Daddies" can be found on Itunes and Spotify.
Directed by Unideer Productions (Stephanie Sumler & Dawn Davidsen)
Song: Written & played by Tyler Holmes
Recorded, mixed, edited by Keith Tadashi Kubota
Vocals by San Cha & Sierra La Puerta

Catch Fire took note of my queer-feminist radio show right after it started out, which I suppose is what led to me being a contributor around here (very sporadically, I admit). Compiling a transgenre musical selection every month has kept me up to date with the music scene in Berlin (and beyond), and it's been fulfilling to provide an outlet for women and queer(-friendly) artists who don't necessarily get a lot of exposure elsewhere.

"Pay It No Mind" by filmmaker Michael Kasino pays tribute to legendary New York queen and activist Marsha P. Johnson, who was one of the founders of the US gay and trans rights movement of the 60s and 70s and a central figure in the NYC gay and art scene until the early 90s. The documentary based on a late interview with Marsha and interviews with many of her friends and fellow activists recaptures different stages of her exciting (and often difficult) live such as the Stonewall Riots (which she initiated), the creation of the S.T.A.R. (Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries) and her role as a performer as part of the drag performance group Hot Peaches.
The interview with Marsha was recorded shortly before her mysterious death in 1992, which until today has remained an unsolved case and was just recently re-opend for investigation by the New York police (who had refused to investigate it in the last 20 years). Co-featured are gay activist Randy Wicker, former Cockettes performer Agosto Machado, Author Michael Musto, Hot Peaches founder/performer Jimmy Camicia, and Stonewall activists such as Bob Kohler, Danny Garvin, Tommy Lanigan-Schmidt and Martin Boyce. In addition to the countless number of beautiful photos the film is also accompanied by the music of Antony, whose band "The Johnsons" were named after Marsha and whose song "River of Sorrow" references her death.
"Pay It No Mind" was the screened in places such as the IFC theater in New York, the British Film Institute in London and La Mutinerie in Paris in 2012 and can now be fully streamed online. Thanks Mr. Kasino!

Le Creuset Pumpkin casserole dish in flame.
This is one of my most favorite sides during the holidays; it's easy to make, and my kids love it.
6 sweet potatoes
Bag of mini-marshmallows
Some butter – optional – I happen to put butter in everything
Some brown sugar – I used 1/4 cup
Proportions can change depending on your preference. Add more or less of any ingredient to suit your taste.
Boil potatoes with skins on. Can be boiled a day in advance. When done (when a knife easily enters the potato) let cool.
After the sweet potatoes have cooled enough to handle, remove the skins. The skin should just slide off.
Pre-heat oven to 350 F
Place ingredients directly into an oven proof dish. I use the Pumpkin casserole dish in the color flamebecause it has even heat and looks festive.
Chop or mash the sweet potatoes with a folk.
Sprinkle brown sugar over top
Sprinkle 3/4 mini-marshmallows over top
Dot with butter (if desired)
Mix all together
Cook at 350 F for about a half hour or until heated through.
Add the reminder of the mini-marshmallows on top for garnish.

Plug In at Fresh Charging Stations, from JFK to LAX
On your next trip out of town keep an eye out for some charging stations at a few major airports. Sure it's not worth scoring some airfare just to check them out, but we can't complain when someone is doing something to make the travel experience that much better.
In total there's 169 brand new charging stations doing their thing, as they've been installed over the last couple weeks at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, New Jersey's Newark Liberty International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport, and Miami International Airport. Look for them in areas where plenty of travelers are coming and going—think spots like the gate areas, the restaurants, and the shops.

How to Go from DFW to Downtown Dallas for a Few Dollars
Grab your luggage off the carrousel and head right into downtown the next time you arrive at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport, as there's now a public transportation option that will zip you right into the heart of the city—as long as the city you want to visit is Dallas rather than Ft. Worth.
Around five miles of rail have been added to the existing structure that makes up Dallas Area Rapid Transit—or DART to its friends. This addition makes it possible for arriving passengers to head right into town without the need for a taxi, buses, or a bunch of connections aboard different public transportation options.

Delta Brings In New Bits and Bites To The Sky Club
When it comes to airline lounges, things here in the U.S. are leaps and bounds behind what's being offered internationally. However, one major carrier's digs are getting a modest facelift, as Delta Sky Club has launched changes to its services. .
Delta's airport lounges have always offered up complimentary snacks and beverages—even the alcoholic ones—but the latest upgrade and improvement is focused on the food. Please don't expect waiter service, entrees, or tasting menus, but just last week the free bits and bites received little bit of an upgrade.

Airports May Skip Mowing the Grass to Decrease Bird Strikes
We've heard of plenty of options to reduce the instances of bird strikes at airports across the globe. Not only are things dangerous for the planes and people involved, but we're pretty sure it's not a wonderful experience for the birds either.
One airport in Ohio is now testing out something different, and it should even save some money when it comes to the airport landscaping budget. Dayton International Airport is adding some tall prairie grass to around 200 acres in and around the airport, and their goal is to get the new stuff planted where planes take off and land all before the end of the year.

The Latest Airport to Edge Toward Eco-Efficiency is...
We don't get to make it down to New Zealand as often as we'd like, but at least the next time we arrive we'll feel a little bit better about our carbon footprint thanks to Auckland Airport.
The airport—the busiest one in the country—has announced all kinds of new partnerships and initiatives, and it's all part of bringing a little bit of green to the airport experience. Officials will be spending around $2.5 million over the next few years to manage, measure, and maintain all kinds of energy usage and utilization.

Watch This Traveler Totally Rock an Airport Piano
We know how it goes at the airport. It's noisy, it's crowded, and you're just trying to do your thing until it's time to step aboard and head out of town. The live terminal entertainment is usually pretty limited, but thankfully Maan Hamadeh recently stepped up Prague's Václav Havel Airport to take things to the next level.
The pianist performed his take—and takes—on Beethoven's Fur Elise, and then he moved onto that Celine Dion song from Titanic. As wonderful as the performance was we could have gone without My Heart Will Go On—it will be in our head all day long.
Anyway, take a moment to watch the clip from the airport, as it will likely put a smile on your face—or at least make you want to take up the piano.

Big Brother is Watching You Fly Through HEL
Here's something new when it comes to airport technology, and it's all taking place over at Helsinki Airport.
The airport is going to be the first in the world to actually kind of track passengers, as well as each and every movement that they make as they progress through the terminals and concourses. If WiFi is enabled on your mobile phone then they'll be able to see where you're going; however, thankfully it does sound like you need to opt-in to things before airport officials will be checking you out.

More Local Restaurants Take the Leap into PDX's Food Court
When we last left Portland International Airport we were busy admiring their beautiful airport carpet designs, but now we're back and we're investigating something a little more delicious. A bunch of famous local eats from the city's foodie scene are making their way past security and into the terminals and concourses. Best of all we won't have to wait years and years for a first taste, as the first will likely debut early next year.
It sounds like plenty of vendors, restaurants, and other shops are running out of time on their leases. That means that a whole bunch of establishments will be changing hands, and that allows spots like Bunk Sandwiches, Bunk Sandwiches, and Mo's Chowder to open a few new airport locations to offer up some on the go eats.

Another Week, Another Awesome Addition Planned for Singapore's Airport
It's only been like a week since talked about the awesomeness that is Singapore's Changi Airport, and now just days later there's already new plans to introduce some even better additions.
Up next for the airport is some kind of billion dollar shopping dome, so that you can spend that extra foreign currency—or just swipe the credit card—before you head out of town. The whole thing is known as Project Jewel, and included in the construction will be five-stories of fancy pants shops as well as an indoor garden. The icing on the cake is the circular waterfall that will cascade down right in the middle of the whole building.

New $20 Tax for Visiting Venezuela is Hardly a Breath of Fresh Air
It might not be the destination of the summer, but there's plenty of people heading to and through Venezuela. The country is hardly rolling out the welcome mat for those visiting the airport, as their latest airport tax is a little less than enjoyable.
Beginning earlier this month travel from Maiquetía Simón Bolívar International Airport got a little more expensive, as the country's government started levying a new tax on those arriving at the airport. It's kind of an air tax—like for breathing the air—and it will set you back 127 bolivars, which is about $20, or so.

First Impressions of Doha's Sparkling New Hamad International Airport
If you want to get a sense of how much the Middle East has become a key gateway for international air travel (and feel incredibly small in the process), a visit to Doha's vast Hamad International Airport (DOH) will do the trick.
We transferred here during some recent travels, only weeks after the much-delayed airport opened its doors, and were suitably impressed by the soaring roofs and seemingly endless gates surrounded by an abundance of space, though not everything was quite as it should be.
If you ever had the pleasure of visiting the old Doha Airport, you'd have experienced the delight of being bussed from terminal to plane in desert heat. Yeah, not fun. The new Hamad and its 50-million-passenger per year capacity should have eliminated that; alas, imagine our disappointment on our first visit to Hamad when, after taking the escalator down to our gate, we descended into absolute chaos with hundreds of passengers camped out on every inch of floor space in front of several bus gates.

Singapore's Airport Debuts a Food Court Stocked with Local Flavor
We can hardly keep up with how great things are over at Changi Airport, but yet again we're ready to share some news about what fun stuff they're adding to the terminals and concourses.
This week the airport is adding a little bit of the local foodie scene, as they're taking a creative spin on the airport food court. The new options are all included within what they're calling "Singapore Food Street," as they're introducing 13 local hawker stalls right into the airport.

The UFC's first return home to Las Vegas in 2014 will take place on February 22nd when UFC 170 takes place at Mandalay Bay. The main event will see the long-awaited light heavyweight debut of Daniel Cormier, as he takes on former champ Rashad Evans. A win for Cormier could earn him a title shot against the winner of the UFC 172 bout between Jon Jones and Glover Teixeira.
There's no confirmed co-main event yet, but it might very well be an important welterweight showdown between Rory MacDonald and Demian Maia. Both are coming off losses and need to get back into the win column to help their chances at a title shot in the new era of the UFC's 170 point division.
Here's the current card so far, with a bunch of bouts still to be added:
Daniel Cormier vs. Rashad Evans
Rory MacDonald vs. Demian Maia
Mike Pyle vs. T.J. Waldburger
Rafael dos Anjos vs. Rustam Khabilov
Raphael Assuncao vs. Francisco Rivera
Stephen Thompson vs. Robert Whittaker

Matt Cain left Wednesday's start against the Rockies after three innings due to a right hamstring strain.
Cain was making just his third start of the month after hitting the disabled list earlier in May with a finger injury he suffered while making a sandwich. Cain grabbed at his hamstring after delivering his final pitch of the third inning. It is unclear if the Giants right-hander will return to the 15-day disabled list or make his next scheduled start. Yusmeiro Petit came in relief for Cain in the fourth.
Cain, who retired nine of his 10 batters faced on Wednesday, is 1-3 with a 3.66 ERA in eight starts, with 39 strikeouts in 46⅔ innings.
Cain wasn't the only player injured in that game at Coors Field.

Balk off
The wildest game of the day (and possibly the entire season) came in Cleveland as the Indians beat the Tigers on a walk-off balk in the 13th inning. It was the first balk-off in baseball since 2011.
The Tigers took a 4-0 lead in the first inning, but the Indians bounced right back and took a 6-4 lead after the second inning. With the Tigers up 9-7 in the ninth, David Murphy hit a two-run homer to force extra innings. Alex Avila hit a solo home run in the 13th to put Detroit up once again, but Michael Brantley tied the game with a single before Al Alburquerque balked home the winning run.
Today, Michael Brantley became just the 6th #Indians player since 1914 to collect 4 hits, 3 RBI and steal 2 bases in same game.

One-hit wonders
The Athletics beat the Rays 3-2 on Wednesday, which doesn't sound noteworthy except that Oakland had just one hit in the game, a home run by Brandon Moss. The A's became just the 18th team since 1914 to score at least three runs with no more than one hit.

Indians 11, Tigers 10 (13)

Stocks Gapping Up On No Known News
TGP has been trading between up between 3.5 and 4% today. There is no material news to speak of. The last significant news came on Friday before the open that management raised the distribution 7.1%...as expected.
From a technical standpoint, this is not only an overbought condition, but a failed breakout at major resistance.
My advice is to short TGP for a trade. It will go ex-dividend on April 19, so readers may want to consider covering before that day.
Disclosure: I am short TGP.Tags: TGP

Shipping containers provide space solution for Leigh nursery
11:30am Tuesday 1st April 2014 in News
A NURSERY has found a green solution to a lack of space.
Constructed from two recycled shipping containers, the new building at Bedford Hall Methodist Primary School's nursery on Breaston Avenue, Leigh, provides an eco-friendly and imaginative learning environment.
The Rev Paul Martin officially opened the new building at the nursery, which is part of the Acorn Academy Trust.
Associate head teacher Amy Burkes said: "The new building has been a vision of the school's for five years and the nursery provides outstanding, innovative indoor and outdoor learning spaces specifically designed to meet the educational needs of the children."

Kearny is a town in Pinal County, Arizona, United States.

According to 2006 Census Bureau estimates, the population of the town is 2,765.[1] The economic base of Kearny and nearby towns is the Ray mine and Hayden Smelter, both owned and operated by ASARCO.
Kearny was built by the Kennecott Mining Company in 1958 as a planned community to accommodate the populations of nearby Ray, Sonora and Barcelona, which were about to be swallowed by Kennecott's expanding open-pit copper mine. While many of houses in the town were newly built, some mine employees had their homes moved down the road. Kearny was officially incorporated in 1959.
Kearny is located at 33°3′15″N 110°54′32″W / 33.05417°N 110.90889°W (33.054160, -110.908857).[3]
The town sits near the Gila River in the Copper Basin area along with its sister cities, Hayden and Winkelman. According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 2.8 square miles (7.3 km2), all of it land.

There were 791 households out of which 34.8% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 65.0% were married couples living together, 9.2% had a female householder with no husband present, and 22.1% were non-families. 19.1% of all households were made up of individuals and 10.6% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.84 and the average family size was 3.25.
In the town the population was spread out with 29.9% under the age of 18, 7.6% from 18 to 24, 21.7% from 25 to 44, 26.7% from 45 to 64, and 14.1% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 37 years. For every 100 females there were 96.8 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 89.5 males.

Financial development and economic growth : views and agenda
AbstractThe author argues that the preponderance of theoretical reasoning and empirical evidence suggests a positive first order relationship between financial development and economic growth. There is evidence that the financial development level is a good predictor of future rates of economic growth, capital accumulation, and technological change. Moreover, cross-country, case-style, industry level and firm-level analysis document extensive periods when financial development crucially affects the speed and pattern of economic development. The author explains what the financial system does and how it affects, and is affected by, economic growth. Theory suggests that financial instruments, markets and institutions arise to mitigate the effects of information and transaction costs. A growing literature shows that differences in how well financial systems reduce information and transaction costs influence savings rates, investment decisions, technological innovation, and long-run growth rates. A less developed theoretical literature shows how changes in economic activity can influence financial systems. The author advocates a functional approach to understanding the role of financial systems in economic growth. This approach focuses on the ties between growth and the quality of the functions provided by the financial systems. The author discourages a narrow focus on one financial instrument, or a particular institution. Instead, the author addresses the more comprehensive question: What is the relationship between financial structure and the functioning of the financial system?

I am converting the spare fridge in my garage into a fermentation chamber so I can control temps better. It's hot here in South Carolina!! Any suggestions as to what I could use as a base to rest the glass carboys on, while inside the fridge? Plexiglass? Lumber?? I am not 100% convinced that the existing "shelf" will support 40+lbs! Not a chance I want to risk it. Nuh-uh.
What's everyone think?
Wooden shelf would work fine. Sometimes all you need is a vertical brace to help the existing shelf if it is spaced right.
Stainless Weldless kits and Flat $5.00 shipping to USA 50 States!
I ripped out all the original shelving and built a wooden shelf to fit as close to the bottom as possible. Here's my build:http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/my-kega-fermerator-build-123889/
I just added a 1/2" piece of plywood cut to fit.
I am going to be diving into a small project of this sort here soon and I have a question:
Taken there is a standard sized fridge- how many carboys can you place in the fridge at one time?
Kegged: AIR
Primary: AIR
On Tap: NADA
Bottled: Store baught swill
Atomic Robot Brewing- Beware the Robot Uprising!!http://robotarmageddon.com/wp-conten...t-Uprising.jpg
I pulled the shelving out of the door, which increased the fridge depth by 3-4 inches. You'd have to measure the refrigerator. I can fit 4 fermenters (carboys/ale pails) in mine at one time. There is another thread around here somewhere with a side-by-side refrigerator converted over, and I think he said he can fit 5-6 carboys. If the inner dimension of the refrigerator is on the order of 30 inches, you can probably fit 3-4 carboys inside it if you pull out the original shelving.

The Incomparable Gay Talese
Poor Gay Talese. For one thing, you can't mention his name to young people without telling them soon afterward to grow up and stop laughing. For another, he essentially invented a new form of journalism, yet today is less well known than those who followed in his footsteps without employing his methods any more effectively. Thousands of college students each year buy a book by Hunter S. Thompson, when they might be far better off with a single volume, The Gay Talese Reader: Portraits and Encounters.
Talese began his career in journalism as something of a prodigy. In pursuit of more playing time on the high school baseball team, he sought to ingratiate himself with the coach by calling in game results and player stats to the local newspaper. Quickly, however, he decided to add to his involvement in promoting the team by writing up the results himself and handing them to the paper. Weeks later, he was given his own job writing whole articles himself, as well as a regular column. He was only 15 years old.
He honed his talents in college, showing an aptitude for adapting novelistic tropes to the sports page and for finding character-study material in the struggles of people who weren't the "big stars." From there, Talese went to the New York Times, rising to the level of sports reporter. However, a promotion to cover the state capitol saw him quickly demoted to the obituary desk. His fastidious copy, his sense of detail and nuance, didn't fit with the bang-out pace of the political beat.
Frustrated by the confines of daily journalism, Talese experimented with longer-form work, eventually publishing "Frank Sinatra Has a Cold" in 1966, in Esquire magazine. Many students of journalism consider this the founding article in the New Journalism movement.
"New Journalism" is hard to define, but most people probably know it when they see it. It often employs literary devices, first-person involvement from the writer, long asides in which the author interprets the data that he's just reported on, personal advocacy and muckraking opinion. But while many New Journalism pieces distort reality or are written deliberately at a remove from the facts of a story, Talese's craftsmanship was detailed, almost obsessive.
What makes "Frank Sinatra Has a Cold" so special is that it is not only still considered one of the most insightful portraits of the man, but it was written without ever interviewing him. Sinatra rebuffed both Talese and Esquire, but since Esquire was so keen on the profile, Talese pushed ahead anyway. He spent three months doggedly following Sinatra and his entourage, interviewing his employees, friends, and flunkies, profiling his ex-wives and observing his movements.
Ironically, the resulting product probably contains more insight than the interview ever could have. One on one, the interviewee can deflect, ignore, spin empty PR statements designed to avoid content. But in looking so thoroughly from the outside in, Talese saw past the artifice of the Sinatra Machine by seeing what it needed outsiders to believe in. At the time, Sinatra was scandalized by a documentary about his ties to the mob, worried about the health of his pipes, and felt increasingly marginalized by popular youth culture that already began to turn away from him. By looking at the anxieties Sinatra and his people tried to obscure or compensate for, Talese could show readers the vulnerable Sinatra that the denial of interview requests was meant to hide away.
Talese used a similar tactic in his other masterpiece, "Silent Season of a Hero," which David Halberstam considered the greatest sports profile of the 20th century. Once again, Talese couldn't interview the subject of his article and constructed an understanding of the person from the outside in. In this case, the subject was Joe DiMaggio, retired, in his fifties, still a legend on whom others projected visions of American heroism, athletic greatness, sex appeal and "cool." Talese describes DiMaggio by letting others describe him. His is a frame on whom almost all men alive hang some conception of greatness, and thus the everyman hero comes out in the visions of the everymen who esteem him most.
All this might make Talese seem hifalutin, remote, inapproachably clinical, but his writing is human, funny, and often quite light. The Gay Talese Reader begins with "New York Is a City of Things Unnoticed," which today might have a more obvious title like, "A Midnight Walk Through News of the Weird." He quietly highlights the oddities of city life, the little necessary functions that drive the Big Apple and that otherwise elude citizens.
Despite topics like Sinatra, DiMaggio, and New York City, it becomes clear very quickly that it almost doesn't matter what Talese writes about. His touch is so deft and his powers of observation so keen that everyman details achieve a luminous quality. Take this opening paragraph, from the story, "Mr. Bad News":
"Winston Churchill gave you your heart attack," the wife of the obituary writer said, but the obituary writer, a short and rather shy man wearing horn-rimmed glasses and smoking a pipe, shook his head and replied, very softly, "No, it was not Winston Churchill."
"Then T.S. Eliot gave you your heart attack," she quickly added... (p. 172)
What follows are the details of a life spent obsessed with the sickness and danger of the lives of others. The obituary writer opens the paper each morning concerned not about who died but about who looks like they are about to die. He collects newsbits in his office and agonizes about losing them. He pulls out hundreds of pre-written obituaries per year and updates them with new content. He is a sweet person who is incredibly morbid.
Other famous people appear in the volume—Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, Peter O'Toole—but Talese's prose is the star. When "Frank Sinatra Has a Cold" and "Silent Season of a Hero" landed on the journalism world like a ton of bricks in 1966, they inspired legions of imitators, and students still try to echo the style in campus newspapers. But Talese requires neither modernization nor improvement. His style is just as captivating today, and sets a wonderful example for students and delights new readers. A half century ago, he set the standard. Others have only met it.

December means mammogram time for me. Not the ideal time imho but how it works out short of waiting till January to start the bit by bit delay with the insurance people. It has to be at least one year since the prior test, and once I was literally on day 365 and had to reschedule.
Well this year I was told by the call center that I didn't need a referral! Yeah. One bit of bother out of the way. So yesterday, in I go and I am asked for a referral. Turns out the call center didn't know that my doctor requires a referral. Not the insurance company, not the radiologist, but my doctor. I really like her but... so now I have an appnt to see her in ....February, so that Dec mammogram willl now be a Valentine's treat not a Christmas present.
But wait...there's more. I go to bed last night, and wake up at 3am with a sharp pain in my right chest with itching 'inside' my right back. The weird itchy feeling is how I feel when I get bronchitis. I get out of bed, debate about getting dh to take my to the hospital, but I don't think it's my heart. Wrong side. The burning pain is intermittent and after doing some energy work, I get drowsy, the pain is gone, and I go back to bed.
Come morning, I tell dh, who gives me the look I would give him if the tables were turned, and I say yes, I'll call the Dr. Turns out my Dr. is out today, so I see another Dr. who examines me and considers it may be gall bladder pain. hmmmm. No pain all day but tonight I'm not at a dinner with dh, I'm staying home, fasting in the am and having a gall bladder sonogram.
Such a week it's been, and it's only Tuesday!

Thankfully, all the pre-draft talk is coming to an end with the draft set to take place this evening. I thought it could be fun to get some thoughts of what you are all thinking, so a year from now we can look back and say, "Wow, I knew WR "X" was going to be better than WR "Y". Glad OBD listened and didn't take the guy all the "experts" were clamoring about"
So let's see what everyone thinks. Who do you want Buffalo to take or pass up. Who is going to be the mid-late round guy who blows everyone away, and where would you have taken him (I have a feeling there would have been a lot of 3rd-4th rounders blown on Da'Rick last year when we got him for nothing)

He notes that SJ watched Oher shrug off similar abuse as one of the country's top offensive line prospects, "so he had a good role model."
SJ says he was more worried about Leigh Anne, who was apt to go right back at the fans who derided her boy. She might have brought some of it on herself, he says with a chuckle, recalling how she'd show up in a glittery Michael Oher jersey with matching purple boots.
'You'll love Loyola'
Despite such wild scenes, Tuohy's routines didn't change much. He still went to school every day, still obsessed over sports. The pass-first guard knew he wanted to play college basketball, weighing a chance to walk on at Ole Miss with offers of more playing time at several Division-II schools.
But then a close friend of the family, who happened to live in Baltimore, mentioned Loyola as a possibility. At a Ravens game that fall, Greyhounds coach Jimmy Patsos playfully flicked ice chips at SJ, letting the kid know he was interested. One Saturday morning, a groggy SJ took a call from Patsos. "You'll love Loyola," the voluble coach barked. "We don't do crap before 10:30 a.m."
"You know, I think I might want to play for that guy," SJ told his dad. Sean Sr. was happy to hear it. Patsos reminded him of his own father, a garrulous Irish Catholic coach from Chicago.
SJ says many people have overblown proximity to Oher as a reason for his college choice. It was a nice bonus, he says, and the brothers hang out weekly. But mainly he sought a place where he could play and be independent of the same old Memphis scene.
Even though he sat out his first year as a non-scholarship redshirt, the season featured a few reminders of SJ's popularity. He remembers one night, walking off the court with his teammate R.J. Williams, who had just played a great game. "Can I have your autograph?" a kid asked, nodding to Tuohy rather than Williams. "I busted out laughing," he says.
"We really can't watch the movie the same," says senior forward Jordan Latham. "Me personally, I can't watch it, having gotten close to him and his family. It's just too weird."
That's not to say Tuohy's background is a big deal to his teammates, who seem to enjoy his company and appreciate his effort in practice.
"They've all become friends and they've all become part of the family," says G.G. Smith, who succeeded Patsos as Loyola's coach before this season. "He doesn't walk around acting like he's big and bad."
As a player, Smith says, SJ is a good shooter and decision maker but needs to improve his ball handling to earn more minutes.
With SJ come Sean Sr. and Leigh Anne, who fly up for as many home games as they can, especially if Oher and the Ravens are playing here the same week. For a recent game at Reitz Arena, the Tuohys sat along the baseline, Sean Sr. in a white Loyola jacket and Leigh Anne in stylish boots a similar green to the team's color. They watched quietly, a mode Sean Sr. says they adopted after observing other fans ripping into their kids during high school games.
SJ jokes that he'd only transfer from Loyola if his parents buy a house near campus, something they did when his siblings attended Ole Miss. His words touch on a real issue, however, because Oher could be elsewhere next year after his contract with the Ravens expires at the end of this season.
Would SJ follow?
"I love Loyola, our coaches, everything about it," he says. "So if he left and everything else is still intact here, I wouldn't have any problem [staying]. Mike made it a lot easier to come here, but it wasn't like I was coming here because of Mike. I came because Loyola's a great school."

Terence Corcoran is the senior editor of the Financial Post. He is a committed opponent of a host of economic follies: unfunded liabilities, statism, junk science - of which the largest example is anthropogenic global warming, and a host of fashionable fads. On the subject of network industries, however, I regret to say he is persistently wrong, seriously, radically in error.
His latest outburst of rage was vented against the government's decision to reserve spectrum for a smaller player in the Canadian wireless market. He has been waging a long, and so far unsuccessful, campaign to shape public opinion away from the Conservative government's attempts to introduce more competition into domestic wireless communications.
