Surprise the family with pizza for breakfast! This wonderful recipe uses homemade dough and is topped with Parmesan cheese and ham. Great for breakfast or for dinner, this breakfast pizza recipe is fantastic.
- For the Dough:
- 2 cups unbleached bread flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon fast-rising (bread machine) yeast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus extra for the oiling bowl
- 1 cup warm water
- Toppings:
- 1 cup diced ham
- 12 slices of tomato, thinly sliced
- 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 4 large eggs, broken into individual bowls
- To make the crust, put the flour, salt, and yeast in a food processor fitted with the dough blade and pulse several times to mix. With the processor running, add the tablespoon of oil through the feeding chute.
- Then add the water in a stream until a soft ball forms – you will typically not use the entire cup. Stop the processor and move the dough to a floured surface.
- Knead a couple of times and then form into a ball. Put the dough in a small oiled bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap and put in a warm place to rise for one and a half to two hours – until doubled.
- About an hour before baking the pizzas, preheat the oven with a pizza stone to 480 degrees.
- When the rising is done, take the dough from the bowl and place it on a lightly floured surface. Cut into four equal portions and form them into tight individual balls. Put a little olive oil on each and lightly cover with plastic wrap. Let them rest for about 10 minutes.
- When ready to form the pizzas, take each ball and gently pull it into a small round crust. Then, place on parchment paper. Dimple the crust with your finger tips and using the heel of your hand, push the crust into a larger circle with the outer edge a bit higher then the middle – each crust will be approximately six inches in diameter.
- Brush a little olive oil on each crust and sprinkle the diced ham on each, leaving an empty spot in the middle of the crust.
- Place three tomato slices on top of the ham. Then sprinkle the cheese on top of the ham and tomatoes. All these ingredients should form a dam to hold the egg in place.
- Place the parchment with the pizzas the preheated stone and slide a raw egg into the middle of each pizza.
- Bake for about 8-10 minutes – until the egg whites are set and the crust turns a golden brown. Remove from the oven, and slide onto a plate and serve while hot.

I stole it!!
—Hardison, Eliot and Sophie in unison
We open with Hardison, Sophie and Eliot, who are all arguing in the bar. Nate and Parker walk in, and he asks them rather pointedly why they're sitting around arguing instead of investigating Moreau. Sophie plays them a recording, which tells them about an artefact called the Dagger of Aqu'abi. This dagger was stolen from the Boston Museum of Art and Antiquities five years ago, but has been returned and is now on display again. However, Hardison, Sophie and Eliot all claim to be the original thief. Sophie suggests that each of them tells their story in turn, and Nate reluctantly agrees.Grifter
Sophie has two identities for this con, having managed to successfully work two identities for six months. The first is the Duchess of Barrington-Highsworth, a patron of the arts who donated artwork to gain admission. She meets the current custodian of the dagger, Edgar Gladstone, who flirts with her, but she's careful to avoid the skilled and wary head of museum security, Coswell. She acquires a drink, spikes it and asks a waitress to give it to Zimbabwe's art minister, Robert Bioko. Bioko is a douchebag who is very allergic to shrimp, but while she waits, she bumps into a surgeon, Dr Wes Abernathy, and flirts with him. Bioko starts choking and Gladstone checks on him. Sophie helpfully tells him that the minister is allergic to shrimp, and as a doctor, Abernathy helps him out. Distraction achieved, Sophie slips into the shipping and storage part of the museum, using Gladstone's key card. Her other identity for this con is Dr Karen Ipcress, who works in the restoration department. Coswell suspiciously asks about her, and makes the connection that she and the Duchess look weirdly alike. Sophie overhears Coswell, realises that she's screwed and switches the shipping details on the dagger's crate so it will go to her safe-house in London. It worked beautifully, but when she received the crate, there was no dagger inside.
After her story, she insists that she's the real thief, even though she technically never attained it. Eliot steps up, putting two shot glasses over his eyes to imitate glasses. Sophie instantly recognises him as the good doctor and is shocked, and Eliot tells his story.Hitter
Eliot is doing what he normally does- beating crap out of some mooks- when he gets a call from a man named Gutman. Gutman is rather annoyed that Eliot never retrieved the sapphire monkey from North Korea, so he offers him a trade: If Eliot will retrieve the dagger, then Gutman will consider the debt repaid and he will stop sending men after Eliot until one of them gets lucky. So on the night in question, Eliot manages to steal the real Doctor Abernathy's identity and get into the party. He bumps into Sophie, but instead of her normal British accent, she has a Cockney accent.
Sophie is indignantly annoyed, and retells her story so that Eliot has a hillbilly's accent. Eliot tells her that she already told her story and gets back to it.
Skip to the part where Bioko is choking: Sophie urges Eliot to save him, and Eliot hesitantly obliges. Eliot would have performed an impromptu tracheotomy, but the minister has some pills that miraculously heal him. Eliot uses him as an excuse to get further inside the museum- specifically, he leaves the minister at the first-aid station. After that, he sneaks into the basement, knocks out a security guard and steals his uniform. He's confronted by Coswell, bluffs his way past, and ends up working with the crew doing the shipping. He disguises himself appropriately, opens the dagger's crate and finds a mug...
Sophie blames Eliot, who maintains that he never actually acquired the dagger. In the end, since Gutman had a lot of enemies, he was arrested for racketeering a couple of weeks later, and Eliot was fine. Hardison then steps up to tell his story. Nate is surprised, since simple theft isn't Hardison's thing, but Hardison explains that the museum had installed a new security system called Tanuki. At the time, the first person to hack it would become a legend, so Hardison decided to be that person. But, he'd need proof, he decided to steal the dagger.Hacker
Hardison enters the museum disguised as Minister Robert Bioko, having hacked the invite list and grabbed the identity of a random guest. As he works on the system, he decides to have some fun- drinks some wine, flirts with some ladies, and spying on Eliot and Sophie getting fresh with each other. Once a power surge occurs (signalling that the system's reset), he fakes a choking fit as a distraction. Gladstone checks on him as Hardison says he needs to go to the first-aid room, but Sophie calls attention to his allergy. This Sophie is using a Scottish accent, and the present Sophie is pissed.
Hardison laughs at them, claiming that he beat both Sophie and Eliot. He says that nothing else matters, and Nate picks up on that and asks him why he says that. Hardison eventually admits that when he opened the vault, nothing was inside. Nate says that neither Hardison, Sophie or Eliot has it� and turns to Parker, who indignantly points out that, you know, she's a thief.Thief
Parker is actually the waitress, though she's doing a horrible job. She ignores Hardison, who was hording big amounts of hors 'doerves into his pockets, then runs into Sophie, who, instead of talking in an accent, is talking gibberish.
Everyone keeps arguing, believing that somebody lied. Parker suddenly realizes Nate's expression and immediately questions him if he knew something. Nate then simply asked the others if they knew the insurance company insuring the museum at the time of the theft, which was his old company, IYS. Nate finally tells them what happened to the dagger...Mastermind
Nate's story starts with him speaking to Coswell. Everyone else remembers Coswell as a tough, wary, skilled security expert, but he's actually a shy, bumbling guy who's pretty sweet. Nate chats with him, as he's there to investigate the recent thefts from the museum. He tells Coswell that I.Y.S. most likely will not insure the dagger. Coswell never actually caught on to Sophie's cons, he just thought she was pretty and wanted to ask her out. In reality, the drink Sophie spiked found its way to Eliot, not Hardison, and it was the glass of wine that he accidentally spilt on her. Coswell meets 'Dr Ipcress' but can't work up his courage to talk to her, and leaves. He tells the guards to find her, but while the team wrongly remembered it as him knowing she was a fake, in reality, he wanted to give her some roses at it's her last day working. (He ends up giving them to Nate.) He even asks Eliot but fails to notice that he's a fake guard. He then meets Hardison, disguised as a worker, and sobs about how he missed his chance to confess his love to Ipcress. He notices the guard Eliot mugged, but gets pushed inside by Hardison. Inside the storage room, he tells the guard that he'll get them out. He opens Parker's bag, but assumes it's the janitor's stuff and uses it to climb inside the air vent. He bumps into Parker, who punches him in the face. The dagger drops down the shaft� and falls out of a ceiling vent, directly into Nate's hand.
Everyone is pretty shocked at that story, but Sophie and Eliot pick up on the biggest problem: Nate had it, but the dagger was still reported stolen. Ah, Nate says, but it was stolen.
Back at the museum gallery, Gladstone is yelling at Coswell for screwing it up and letting Parker get away, saying it's his worst loss ever. Nate walks in with the dagger� and snaps it in half. Nate explains that he's here to figure out why Gladstone has had so many expensive items stolen that I.Y.S. had insured. He realizes that Gladstone was selling the originals on the black market, while putting the fakes on display and staging a public theft to get the insurance using the double-dipping scam. Gladstone begs him not to tell anyone or he'll be in ruins. Nate then tells him to pay back the settlements of the previous items and since he didn't sell the dagger yet he asks him to give it to his company as an asset. He also wants the dealer he'd hired to stage the fake theft. Nate then announces to them they should keep this a secret and as of this moment the Dagger of Aqu'abi has officially been stolen.
The team is a bit sad that after all they did, none of them got it. Sophie asks about the dealer, and we get a flashback: the dealer Gladstone used was Gutman, who Nate had arrested. Eliot's quite surprised. Hardison's depressed that they all did so much work for nothing, but Nate reminds them that it's easy to forget why they stopped working solo and now work as a team, and turns the sound on the TV back up. It's showing an interview with a man called Nigel Hayton, the C.E.O. of Baron Oil, an oil company who spilled tons of oil over American waters. Hayton is a quintessential bastard, down to his posh accent, use of the phrase 'the little people' and reassuring the public that he cares, as does his company. The team leaves the bar in a hurry claiming to get it first, leaving Nate behind. Nate eventually follows after as the episode ends.

The Seasonal Medicine of Spirit Cords
As November nudges us ever closer to the apex of winter (in "my" hemisphere, anyway), I find myself craving solitude. At the same time, the season that we collectively share slings me into my community. You know what I'm talkin' about.
For me it is a time of beautiful contradiction that begs me to center my intentions on the harmonics of balance, as I tend to my own needs and cravings while tending to the collective demands. It's a time that reminds me, like clockwork, of the potential hardships innate to our universal connectedness. And the extraordinary gifts born of those hardships.
It's no wonder I'm drawn to spinning my pendant Spirit Cords in this season. Working with fibers is a given, and as we move into the expanding chill of the season the activity sits comfortably in the duality of my cranial hemispheres. But the attraction to the pendants, each carrying energy, representing personal and collective meaning, is a tug that serves both the communal challenges and my desire for solitude.
Generally, I spin my Spirit Cords when I'm home alone, just me and the dog. The practice is always meditative for me. I always chant mantras, channel reiki and spontaneous blessings as I spin, yet working with the pendants seems to add to the wandering element of focus (know what I mean?) that this creative act offers to me. And this ... this consequential interplay acts to intensify the solitude for which I hunger, offering me exactly the Medicine I need in this season.
I like to think that the Medicine I experience in this creative process is carried with each cord that I spin and then, in turn, is translated to the needed Medicine of the ultimate holder.
To me, this meditation, these thoughts born of a creative ritual, offer an extra dimension of consideration and wisdom as I reflect on the challenge and the gifts, the self and the collective. This is the seasonal Medicine of my beloved Spirit Cords.

Flavors of Creation and Gratitude
Every year, as the darkness of night grows longer and the days grow cooler, I'm drawn to fiber. So it's no surprise that I've been busy in the sacred act of creating my little Spirit Pouches. And Spirit Cords, too.
There's something about lighting a fire, brewing a pot of tea and settling into the act of this flavor of creation that settles me, grounds me, and offers me a stable space of peace.
It offers me a quiet time of inner-stillness to ponder the mysteries of life, not the least being consideration to this concept of linear time that we all bought into and share. I mean, it's mid-November. When did that happen?
And I realize that in three short weeks the community of Creatives at Whiting Mills in Winsted, Connecticut will be collectively celebrating our Holiday Open Studios and Guest Artists Event. I still have much to do to prepare for this, but I'm not stressing over it. I'm just looking forward to throwing my doors open that weekend to all who choose to explore some inspiration, empowerment, and more.
I feel blessed for the studio space I have there, for it supplements my home work-spaces, where my full dispensary is rooted, and offers perfect space for classes and workshops.
I'm grateful for the supportive community of creatives there, and for the intimate and extended community of creative, healing, botanical-loving folks that fill the well of Life to overflow.
I feel blessed for it all.
And I'm excited to have two inspired friends sharing my space during the Open Studios weekend, Kim of Raven's Edge, LLC and Doreen of Soul Threads. I'll be telling you more about them in the days ahead.
So if you're in the region of sunny Winsted, Connecticut, I hope you'll join us at Whiting Mills in December ... and I invite you to start your visit at Studio 336!
And if you're on Facebook, join us at our Open Studio Event page!

Seasonal Medicine
Even with so many leaves fallen to their earthy home, there is still much color, with greens thriving in the main vegetable garden.
My environment is filled to overflow with messages and metaphors. My awareness is in high gear and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by it all. This, coupled with other odd experiences, has me feeling a bit off my center.
Truth is, this is exactly where I need to be and these observations and occurrences are exactly the Medicine I need. It is my challenge to settle into it all, and - once again - recognize, acknowledge, honor ... and evolve.
'Tis the season.

Introspective Revelations of the Season
It's about time I dropped in to say merry October, eh?
Every year I forget how busy autumn is for me. And how solitary. And this year many aspects of the "growing season" (as they say) are extending deep into October. So still, every day, I have harvests and preserves to consider. I mean, I'm still harvesting tomatoes, basil and other tender produce! I am both grateful and suspicious of this extended "garden season." I mean, our summer was so cool, and many of the "summer crops" were lagging behind. This strange October is allowing these lagging crops to offer me "more," and for that I am so very grateful. Yet this occurrence also conjures my observations of Nature over the past 20 years or so, and the odd shifts that I've witnessed.
First, the robins showing up in February, all those years ago. And now, for the past several years, I see them all winter long.
These observations inspire my evolving dedication to the choices I make in this life. I know that my choices, my behavior, my actions have an impact not only on my own life, but also on yours, and on the generations that have come before us, and on those that follow us. Make no mistake.
October is, historically, a very hermit-like and introspective month for me. And this month, so far, is yielding what seems to be profound clarity surrounding my life's passions.
With that, I have tomatoes to pick, basil to harvest, eggplants to check ... and - more in tune with my historical rhythms - horseradish to dig. Sacred acts, one and all, imbued with quiet introspection as I pick, harvest, check, dig and do.

Today I made three quarts of Kabees, a simple, middle eastern preserve of turnips and beets. Where are the beets, you ask? The only late beets I planted are golden ones. They are gorgeous and delicious and will imbue a warm, golden tone to these quart jars as they age.
Here's how I made them (today):
3 turnips, peeled and cut into matchsticks
3 beets, peeled and cut into matchsticks
9 cloves garlic, sliced
hot pepper flakes (I didn't have any fresh hot peppers)
2 ½ cups vinegar (approximately) - I used an herb-infused apple cider vinegar
2 ½ cups water (approximately)
5 teaspoons salt (sea or kosher)
In a bowl, combine the vinegar, water and salt and stir until the salt is dissolved and dispersed.
Fill each quart jar with the beets and turnip pieces in layers with the garlic and pepper flakes.
Fill each jar with the vinegar-water-salt blend and cap.
I did add some sweet pepper to one of the jars to fill the jar and because I had them. That's how I roll.
I label these and put them in my basement pantry where it's both relatively cool and very dark. I like to let them sit for at least one month before using, and can say they get better as they sit throughout the winter.
I love these on our hand-ground wholewheat bread, sandwich-style and understand that they're a great addition to sandwiches in general. I also love them tossed into a salad (hot or cold), as a side-dish, alone or with other vegetables, and even on pizza.
So, yeah, that's what I made today. Peace.

Spirit Pouches
Alongside harvesting and preserving, September has been about developing and planning activities (classes and such) for 2015. This is the sort of activity that, for me anyway, engages the full spectrum of the brain. It involves a lot of free thinking and creative play, as well as plotting and planning, which is a fabulous, holistic endeavor. Yet I find that by the end of the day any attempt to engage linear thought or intuition is for naught, and I Know that it's time to refill my well. Know what I mean?
So I ground and center myself to engage in the meditative practice of creating my Spirit Pouches.
I consider the creation of these little Spirit Pouches to be a sacred, healing act. The stitches of the pouch are "counted" with a series of mantras. The straps are miniature Spirit Cords that are, likewise, spun in a sacred manner using mantras of healing, divine intention and love.
And, odd as it may sound, I feel an honor to mama Gaia, the Earth, when using the old vintage buttons to finish off these sweet little pouches. As I often say, "I have a distaste for waste," so I tend to save things, and when their reuse is revealed to me, I feel such elation and gratitude.
The act of creating these Spirit Pouches is such Good Medicine for me. It allows me to disconnect from this earthly plane, to connect to spirit, to refill my well, and create something of meaning, of Medicine, that I may share with others.
So yeah, that's what I made today … have been making all month … and will continue to make. Because making Good Medicine is Good Medicine.

I am so impressed with Jose's writing! He makes a thoughtful cogent argument for an innovative solution to a problem. I realize this was written a few years ago and Jose has moved on from MVHS since then, but the JustREAD program which helped him become a good writer is still offered at some of our local schools. I encourage people to become volunteer tutors and/or make monetary donations to support this fine program and the students like Jose who benefit from it. Web Link

Gowther is a member of The Seven Deadly Sins, and his sin is Goat Sin of Lust.
Gowther was a member of the 7 Deadly sins ten years prior to the main story. After they were forcefully disbanded, Gowther was found injured by the child Pelio. After being treated by the child and his family, Gowther decided to remain with Pelio to serve him. However he finally left Pelio after most of the Deadly Sins had found one another again and Gowther left with them when they came to retrieve him. Currently, Gowther's sin that landed him the title of Goat's sin of Lust is unknown.
Gowther is created by Nakaba Suzuki as the supporting of the manga series, The Seven Deadly Sins. At this moment, there is no information given by Nakaba Suzuki and his staff regarding any inspirations or concept art used in Gowther's character design.
Gowther had hidden his true identity to all of his allies in the past by wearing a giant suit of armor. But now he willingly shows his true form, which is in large contrast to what would have been expected.
Gowther has a rather androgynous appearance, perhaps looking more female than male. He is of medium height with a very lean build. He has near shoulder length stark red hair, however he can manipulate it's length. He is also always wearing glasses and apparently can't see anything without them.
Gowther has a very flat personality, and can be very awkward to those he speaks to due to his blunt directness. He also seems to have a cold streak, leaving his long time child friend Pelio without much of any remorse, despite the boy being in tears.
Gowther under the alias of Armando is first seen playing with Pelio and other children within the village. They were acting as the famed Seven Deadly Sins. Ironically, Armando had to act as the Goat's Sin of Lust Gowther, which was in fact his true identity unbeknownst to the children. They happened upon Meliodas' Boar Hut which had stationed itself in the village looking for Gowther based off of King's info. Pelio acting as Meliodas demanded tribute for using the village land. The real Deadly Sins then assumed that King's info was false and that the rumors he had heard of were of the kids parading themselves as the Seven Deadly Sins, embarrassing King. When Diane suddenly appeared, the children became frightened due to Diane's huge stature. But shortly after, they are seen playing on top of Diane. Armando then makes small talk with Ban, who was completely oblivious that it was Gowther.
Later, Pelio and the other kids heard news that some Holy Knights were in the mountains, hunting a villain. Naively excited, Pelio led the other children to the mountains in hopes to witness the Holy Knights in action. Despite Armando advising against it, Pelio foolishly refused to not go and stated he should never have saved Armando. It is then that Armando's past history with Pelio was revealed, showing that years ago, he was gruesomely injured, but a very young Pelio found him and despite his tiny size, dragged Armando back to his village to get treatment. From then on, Gowther had taken the name Armando to hide his true identity, and served Pelio and his family thereafter.Armando and the children eventually caught up to where the Holy Knights, specifically the Dawn Roar Group were battling the criminal. The criminal was alleged to be Gowther, a giant armored man. Foolishly, Pelio stepped onto the battlefield and attacked the Giant "Gowther", with his sword, which did nothing, however the Giant was annoyed by Pelio and raised his fist to crush Pelio. But Armando dashed to Pelio, pushing him out of the way and was instead crushed himself. The battle ensued but the actual Seven Deadly sins arrived to help the giant, thinking it to be the real Gowther. The Deadly Sins however were unable to beat the Dawn Roar and were nearly defeated. Weinheidt, a member of the Dawn Roar, launched a powerful attack at the giant, however it was blocked by none other than Armando. It was then that Armando revealed his true identity as the real Goat's sin of Lust Gowther.
After a harsh battle with the Armored creature, Meliodas manages to defeat it. The Deadly Sins decide to depart, and Gowther bids farewell to Pelio. The distraught Pelio yelled that he would become a Holy Knight and one day he would capture Gowther and that he would never forgive him for leaving him behind.
Meliodas, who had lost his sword that was of great importance for reasons yet unknown, made up his mind to go back to Liones to retrieve it. Suddenly, a Holy Knight appeared and teleported away with Elizabeth to Liones. After sensing where Elizabeth was taken, it was a two birds with one stone type of situation and a previously reluctant Ban, as well as Gowther agreed to go with him. Liones was at least forty kilometers away, but Diane, using her immense physical strength, picked up Meliodas, Ban and Gowther and hurled them all the way to Liones. She and King were later to follow. Once they arrive, Gowther, Meliodas and Ban engage the various Knights there, breezing through them with ease, but it was taking up their time so they slipped away to come up with a strategy.
While planning, they noticed a gigantic rock erupt from the ground off in the distance. Rightfully, they assumed it was Diane who had arrived after them. Gowther decided he would go and assist the struggling Diane while Meliodas and Ban retrieved Elizabeth. He bumps into Threader of the Dawn Roar. After a scuffle, Threader seemingly bests Gowther and breaks his neck, only for Gowther to rise back to his feet and re-position his neck back to normal. Gowther said he had seen Threader's memories. He then asked him if it was the King himself, or the Great Holy Knights who told him that the Seven Deadly Sins were traitors. A shocked Threader realized that it was the Holy Knights not the King and realized that he may have been mistaken about the Deadly Sins all along. He leaves without finishing his fight with Gowther. Gowther then heads to the badly injured Diane's position and arrives in the nick of time to save Guila who had just defected from the Holy Knights, from Great Holy Knight Dreyfus.

WHO: Global Maternal Mortality on the Drop
Maternal deaths have fallen by 45% worldwide since 1990, statistics of the UN and the World Health Organization (WHO) show.
Over half a million women died during childbirth in 1990, while in 2013 the figure was 289,000.
The report "Global causes of maternal death: a WHO systematic analysis" reveals that over a quarter of maternal deaths are caused by pre-existing medical conditions such as diabetes, HIV, malaria and obesity.
Sub-Saharan Africa remains the most vulnerable region, with a 1 in 40 risk of death during pregnancy. Europe records the smallest risk, at 1 in 3,300. However, in the United States maternal mortality is on the rise. India and Nigeria hold the highest number of deaths during pregnancy, with 50,000 and 40,000 respectively.
Eleven countries have made steady progress in reducing maternal mortality by 75% or more, envisioned in the Millennium Development Goals. These are Bhutan, Cambodia, Laos, Cabo Verde, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Maldives, Romania, Nepal, Rwanda, and Timor-Leste.
"A major challenge in addressing maternal deaths is the lack of accurate data. Although knowledge on the number of women dying and the reasons behind their deaths is improving, much remains unrecorded and unreported. In many low-income countries, maternal deaths go uncounted and frequently the cause of death is unknown or not recorded correctly, particularly when women die at home", WHO adds.

Villain vampire Katherine, who once turned the Salvatore brothers into sexy undead fangers, has returned to Mystic Falls — and boy, is she ready to cause some trouble. Vampire Diaries executive producer Julie Plec reveals that while the boys will discover her true identity quickly — since there was that little mix-up in the finale when Damon kissed Elena, but it was really Katherine! — the love triangle will get even more complicated in Season 2. Get the scoop on the new season below:
Concerned that their show had become too "sitcom-my" last season, lacking the emotional growth of the show's earlier years, How I Met Your Mother creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas have mapped out a pivotal sixth season that, says Bays, will be "more emotionally invested in these characters' lives and tweak the larger mystery of the series in a way that we've never done before...

Moto Hint Hands On: Is This the First Non-Dorky Bluetooth Headset?
The Moto Hint is a teeny-tiny Bluetooth headset, and it's the first I've seen that isn't actively stupid-looking.
The Moto Hint is a teeny-tiny Bluetooth headset, and it's the first I've seen that isn't actively stupid-looking.
So far this year's Moto X seems like a worthy successor to one of last year's best phones — even if we are a little disappointed with the size.
The 2014 model is here, and it's bigger and better, and it costs just a bit more.
When Motorola first teased the Moto 360 back in June, it made us swoon. Getting some more hands-on time with it now, we're swooning even harder.
It definitely sounds like an improvement on the company's previous iteration.
If there are sketchy people around, or if the guy behind you in line has a particularly thick iPhone case, this technique couldn't hurt.
Shit-faced, groggy, hangover, booze. We all know what they mean, but where did they come from?
Every single tech company seems to be releasing their own fitness tracker, but this one actually has a unique feature.
This review will contain ZERO spoilers, because spoilers are dumb.
We suck at sleeping. But exactly how do we suck at it? Do we toss and turn a lot? Snore? Are we roused by outside noises? Misfit's sleep tracker may be the simplest way to track our after-hours movements yet.
Samsung's Gear Live is a vast improvement over the company's earlier wearable devices. While it's got some issues, it's a great first shot at harnessing the Android Wear platform.
If you can use virtual reality to do your shopping, why not do it when trying to find a new car?

Nice place for a picnic

There was a small military museum but we gave it a miss.
As we were driving along, I saw a sign to a waterfall, and wanted to investigate. Great name Taughannock Falls. Almost as good as some names in NZ eh! I really like the rock colours round it.

We only had 5 days here but...WOW! Even though we had some incredible storms, we had a few nice days & packed them in seeing some of this area of New York which included Cooperstown & the Baseball Hall of Fame plus a 225 mile drive through the Catskill Mountains which included a 5 mile hike ...
Hot and humid.
... on the hot pavement until a huge truck went through with a huge part of a road bridge. I thought I was going to faint away right there on the road. At around 4, the blue sky turned to dark clouds and within 15 mintues it started to cool off and rain. We stopped at a restaurant to let it pass, and the TV was on showing massive thunderstorms in the area. We managed to get to a motel within 10 miinutes before it really started to pour and the lighting show started. Great ...
Home At Last!
Left Binghamton, New York at about 9:30 and hit the road. Grabbed a couple of coffees and away we go on I-81 north. Continued our drive through the mountainous countryside in a misty rain. By 1:00 p.m. we had made it to the Canadian border. Yay!
We stopped for a Timmy and a bite and continued on down the road and ...

Should peer review results be made public?
1) Creating a public file that would be open to inspection by the general public.
2) Creating a state regulatory file open to inspection only by state boards of accountancy.
Greater Transparency as a Badge of Honor
Today, almost 35,000 U.S. accounting firms rely on peer review to demonstrate that their accounting and auditing practices meet the highest standards. About 6,400 firms voluntarily place their peer review results in a public file accessible to anyone with Internet access. About 15,000 additional firms provide peer review results to regulatory bodies or to clients as part of regulatory requirements such as GAO Yellow Book. In addition, many firms communicate their peer review results in their marketing literature, and some suggest that prospective clients request peer review reports from all firms they are considering.
Confidentiality or Transparency
Probably the most common argument against making all peer review results public is that any such change would rescind a commitment the AICPA made to its members in 1988, nearly 20 years ago. When members agreed to mandatory peer review, it was designed as an educational and remedial program that would strengthen quality control practices in CPA firms. Its role was corrective, not punitive, and confidentiality was a critical component of passage.
Opponents of greater transparency argue that asking firms to make their peer review results public would violate these promises. Others, however, counter that in today's environment of heightened accountability, this kind of confidentiality is becoming increasingly difficult to support. This view holds that the primary users of peer review has expanded from AICPA members alone to now include regulators, clients, and credit grantors. These constituents expect greater transparency, but have no way of evaluating peer review results as long as they remain confidential.
Another concern of some CPAs is that by making peer review results public the AICPA would be taking on a responsibility that should be left to regulators. Some CPAs are also worried that making peer review results public will make reviewers less candid, rendering the recommendations less helpful to the reviewed firm.
Members of the AICPA Center for Public Company Audit Firms (CPCAF) and the Alliance for CPA firms (PCPS), who already make their peer review results public, counter that full transparency actually improves the quality of peer review by ensuring that reviewers write thoughtful, helpful recommendations. They also believe that the quality of their firms' work improves when people know a reviewer is going to come in every three years and that the information is going to be made public. Many members want the profession to increase transparency before the government steps in and does it for them.
Another concern that has been expressed is whether this move would require structural changes, with a resulting increase in peer review fees. However, an apparatus already exists to post peer review results for those firms that have agreed to have PCPS and CPCAF public files on the AICPA Web site. Therefore broader public disclosure should not appreciably add to the cost of peer review.
The AICPA Needs to Hear from You
Because any change requiring greater transparency of peer review results could only occur after a membership referendum, members in Ohio and throughout the United States need to begin a dialogue on the impact of any such change.

2. There aren't any PhD's honorary or otherwise that would lurk on /religion/

I do understand that you can look at it that way and say he is a bad player, but in truth, there needs to be someone to make good passes for the good players to be good. Everyone has their roles. If everyone was a Kobe/Labron/Kyrie, teams would be terrible.

And now I look retarded because he's a coach not a player. Oh well.
Still, it's the same in a lot of sports, they rely on their big names, which is why they give them so much money. The playmakers most likely don't make as much as the shooters, but are just as important.

He hit his first wife, not Yoko, he never touched nor cheated on Yoko as you may think. To respond to your other comment, I know he hit his first wife, it's despicable that he did it but he owned up to his mistake and became an advocate for peace. The author of your "source" claims Lennon was a pathological liar, he wasn't. He wasn't seriously addicted to Heroin, he used it and once he realized he was developing a problem, he quit cold turkey (another solo song). And he did meet Yoko at an art show too. And the author says that when he was out of the public eye for a while, he was in a "drug induced haze", not true either. He felt that as long as Paul was producing below average material, he didn't need to record but, when Paul released "Coming Up", Lennon realized that he had something to compete against again and decided to start recording again. Also your "source" loses all credibility when he decides to justify the actions of the scum that killed John. /rant

I don't know if his deck really needed balance. I thought it was fun. I think the whole adding a fear of bugs was more 4kids trying to create more tension in that duel rather than trying to make Yusei afraid. There was that whole being afraid to duel again after dueling Kiryu that was actually a flaw and showed him struggling to overcome it. As for his death, I thought it was to show his connection to his father, which would come up again in the later arcs, but it was probably just there to add a bit more tension during Jack's duel against Carly. It really didn't bother me that much.
A lack of realism in a Yu-Gi-Oh! series doesn't really upset me and I really don't go into any series expecting that at this point. The first arc had more of a sense of realism, but there were hints of something bigger coming with Godwin gathering the Signers and that vision near the end of Yusei's duel against Jack. I didn't think that the plot was too exaggerated, especially Carly's subplot with Jack. That was handled extremely well in my opinion. Her character was done after that arc, but it was still kind of a shame that she was reduced to mainly comedy relief after all she went through. I still would have loved to see Jack and Carly interacting more and talking about what happened though.Quote:

Honestly, I don't know if I'd consider her real. Even with her strange cat powers, which also have yet to be explained by the way, she just feels like the typical shy girl of the group. She's not as shy now, but she still comes off like that to me. I liked her more than Kotori for awhile, but that doesn't say much and she was still pretty bland. I usually don't like characters being reduced to comical relief, especially if what they're doing isn't funny and just comes off as annoying. It's great that you like her so much, but she's just bland and her duel with Dog-chan made me think of how dumb it was rather than any growth she had.Quote:

That does not sound like a female Yusei, especially when she didn't value friends like he did. I don't know if I'd considered her plot exaggerated, but I was interested in her backstory and I did feel more sympathetic towards her near the end of her duel with Yusei.Quote:

There were Yusei fans, of course, but the ones I've see weren't like that either. I still don't think that the 5D's or the Dark Signer arc were too dark compared to other arcs in DM and GX. There wasn't a chance for a break since a person did need to see at least the first sixty-four episodes to understand the events of the arc. I honestly didn't think that was a huge problem. Most people I've seen talk about 5D's praise the first two arcs, although they don't call them perfect by any means. The characters were interesting, at least I think they were, the storyline was engaging, the pacing didn't feel too fast, the Riding Duels added some diversity and the plot always advancing helped to keep the storyline fresh and make people continue watching it. A breather during those first two arcs might have been nice, but I don't think it really hurt the series, especially when there were plenty of breathers in the later arcs, for better or for worse.Quote:

Even with Yuma getting another heart piece, some duels felt like a waste of time because of how boring they were and how they didn't connect to the plot beyond that small detail. It's not like they couldn't have brought in more plot elements earlier so that his duels wouldn't feel like one could skip them and not lose anything of value. The duels against the kids with the construction deck and Anna especially felt like a waste of time since they didn't even given him a new heart piece. None of the one-shot characters he dueled against where compelling or entertaining to me in the slightly. They were either boring or annoying jokes. I was fine with Astral dying nearly every duel. I was just saying before that they didn't have a problem doing that in the first arc, so I didn't think that they really needed to take a break when the second arc started. Astral being revived was a combination of the powers of the crests and Yuma's father appearing out of nowhere. I don't know how it's that much better than how Yusei was revived. Yuma in that episode was more tolerable, but I don't think I could ever see Yuma as being relatable considering how stupid he is. The family theme in this series is nice, but I don't think I'd praise it that much.Quote:

I think considering it as an insult to the audience's intelligence is a bit much. I thought that they fleshed out Riding Duels quite a bit during the course of the series. We learned more about the history of Satellite and the explosion of Momentum caused later on in the series. Considering that most people thought Satellite was the result of a massive natural disaster, I don't think that they could explain that in the early episodes anyway.Quote:

If a D-Wheel is broken, a Riding Duel can't continue, even with evil magic involved and that's not the first time something like that happened either. Kaito had Haruto to take care of, but he couldn't have defeated Yuma anyway since Astral would have died and Yuma would have lost his soul, although I don't know if his key would have protected him from that. That's pretty much the same reason. Yusei's reaction to almost dying felt a whole lot more believable than what they were going with Yuma. Nearly losing his souls and losing Astral didn't have nearly as much of an impact on Yuma's character as that kind of situation did with Yusei and didn't make me more engaged with his character. Yusei did express fear. He still looked calm, but he was afraid of dueling again until he had to help Aki and after hearing what Godwin said to them about Dark Signers, he was clearly afraid and shaken up, which led to Jack punching him a couple of times.Quote:

Hey I thought Astral will disappear if Yuma lose a Duel that involve a Number !
So Doesn't that mean that if Yuma lose to Kite now then Astral will disappear ?
I hope I get to see Astral & Kotori talking to one another in Zexal II .
Just when I though numbers couldn't get any more cooler...
Number 42: Starship Galaxy Tomahawk
Number 42: Starship Galaxy Tomahawk - Yu-Gi-Oh!
Now I have to make an space themed deck just for this awesome number.
Oh, and the 42 reference is awesome. I knew 42 would be space themed.
That Number is really awesome. Although my favorites will always be Number 39: Kibou Ou Hope and Number 33: Machu Mach. X3
I don't think that this duel involved a Number card. As Human mentioned, Kaito already lost his Number cards to Tron and those were taken by Dr. Faker after Yuma defeated him. I'm not sure who has them now since there was no indication that Astral absorbed them or if Dr. Faker still has them for some reason.Quote:

That probably isn't saying much since the only thing I liked about that duel was the respect between Kaito and Shark and the ending to that one felt anticlimactic and left me feeling "meh" overall, but it still felt more of an engaging watch and the second half of the duel was much more interesting than the first part. Seeing Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon and Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon on the field at the same time was pretty awesome and the music during a few parts was really nice too.
I was surprised that Kaito won. I figured that they would let Yuma win the last match of the season or at least go for a tie like with Judai vs. Kaiser. While I'm still more indifferent towards Kaito and he still feels kind of dull for me, I'm okay with him winning. Even though Yuma wanted to win, there wasn't really any reason for him to win unless they wanted to resolve their rivalry right now, which I thought that they would just go with something different for the new season. Though, this does make me wish that the writers had Jack defeat Yusei at the end of 5D's instead of the other way around. It would have been a more satisfying end to the series.
Anyway, I still think that Yuma should have used his wish to find out more about his parents, regardless of the outcome, since it still gives me the impression that he forgot about them completely. It wouldn't be out of character for him when he's been known to have the memory of a goldfish. I'm also kind of confused about how Haruto is apparently fine. I understand that the Barian powers no longer affect him and that kind of makes sense, but shouldn't he be suffering now anyway? According to Dr. Faker's contrived backstory, those powers were keeping weak Haruto alive, so not having those powers, if that's the case anyway, should be more of a problem than a solution. Maybe they're just saving that for the next season, especially when I can't see Kaito getting a new motivation to face this new threat that doesn't involve Haruto, but it just seemed kind of weird.
The preview for the new season does look pretty interesting and I'm curious to see what the new villains are all about. I'm still hoping that Rio is going to be a decent character and that the second season will be decent too, although the impressions it gives me are pretty much the same impressions I got from the previews from when Zexal first started, which is basically nothing blows me away, but nothing turns me off from it at the same time.
Yeah, I'm still confused about the Haruto situation as well. I don't understand how he's at least somewhat cured, since I thought his illness was something he had since he was young, and just defeating Barian for the moment really didn't explain to me how he got better miraculously.
Also, in regards to episode 72 (not 73), I couldn't help but laugh at how awkward Haruto and Dr. Faker looked sitting on the couch together. XD
While I kind of liked Kaito vs. Yuma, at least the second part, I'm not sure if it was really necessary to have it at the end of this season. They could have saved it for the end of the series instead and the same basic message of showing where Yuma is as a duelist could have worked, even I still think that they'll go back to having Yuma make a huge mistake to be a joke at some point anyway. Even Kaito's whole issue of not having motivation to duel, which did make sense all things considered, was rather easily solved, or at least the depression he was feeling at the first half of the duel was, and his dueling in the second half didn't seem radically different from previous matches. He just wasn't obsessed with Haruto's safety or collecting Numbers. I have a strong feeling that his motivation to face these new villains will involve Haruto, especially when I still don't think that there's much to his character beyond his concern for his brother, which may make this whole dueling for himself bit unnecessary in the grand scheme of things. Though, I guess it's a better sendoff to the first season than the duel against Dr. Faker would be, though I still think that isn't really saying much, and at least Tron is back with his sons. It would have been nice to actually have an explanation as to why he still has powers or how he survived though.
The duel was mehish. Although all things considered it was pretty cool. I wasn't invested in it or interested in seeing Kaito's lack of passion to duel any more get resolved. It did succeed in giving him some needed depth, but yeah... not interested. Now don't get me wrong, I think Kaito is a cool character, and that at times, he could be a bit interesting, but not a really interesting one. He's just a bit dull at times for me. He usually spreads a mood with his manoeuvres that excites me, but since there wasn't a drama factor in the duel and he didn't do his usual manoeuvres I couldn't help but yawn continuously. I wouldn't say that it was a pointless duel since Kaito really needed a new passion. Still, that's no excuse for how rushed things felt. Having both versions of their ace monsters on the field was a great idea, just executed horribly because their battle went so fast. Yuma summons his versions of Hope, then Kaito summons his, destroys Yuma's, then poof, duel over. Meh. I'm OK with the outcome since Yuma has already won a lot of duels consecutively, so him losing one was a breath of fresh air.
I gotta say, Yuma sleeping after so much duelling was a nice touch and a nice way to end the season. The Astral look alikes looked cool and interesting. I can't wait to see what they've come up with.
I really wanna watch this episode now. I can't wait to see my Kaito-sama win. X3
Plus, I'm not sure how much the whole Kaito feeling passionless about dueling matters in the long run. It did make sense that he didn't want to duel after Haruto was cured, somehow, but I have a strong feeling that his motivation to duel against the new villains in the next season will involve Haruto anyway. I can't see them letting Haruto be happy and healthy for the rest of the series or give Kaito motivation to duel in more dramatic duels that didn't connect to Haruto considering how Haruto makes up a good portion of Kaito's character anyway. I'm fine with Kaito winning since Yuma didn't really have to win unless they wanted to end their rivalry before going onto the second season and I still don't like Yuma at all, so I don't have much of a problem seeing him lose.
I didn't really like that since it just felt thrown in for a combination of comedy relief and an attempt to create more tension, but at least he didn't faint from hunger. That gag always annoys me. I am curious about the villains and how they'll deal with them in the new season.Quote:
