I have never been the type of person to call myself a "ride or die chick." Like the popular meme says, I have too many questions. I will have talked us both out of riding before I commit to dying over stupidity. However, I understand the sentiment behind the phrase. We all want someone who will stick with us through good and bad times, even if our bad times are self-inflicted. Although I never claimed the title, the commitment of marriage has turned me into a de facto ride or die chick regardless.
On Anthony Mackie, Sandwiches, and Middle Fingers
Anthony Mackie has been in the (Black) news lately a lot for saying things a lot of people don't exactly agree with. #BlackTwitter flipped a few tables. I'm flipping birds.
The Best Dances for Black Girls No One Taught to Dougie
I don't know at what point it became apparent to me I was Black and could not dance. Yet, here we are. Rhythmless Nation 1814. We're fam, right? I can be honest here. We all "know" Black people are not a monolith and it's wrong to stereotype. But dangit, all Black people are supposed to be […]
Parenthood Means Saturday Morning Tastes Like Feet
Every Saturday morning, long before the sun has considered peeking above the horizon, Bean wakes up. She grabs her baby doll, her Purple Cup, and sometimes even her downy pink blanket. Tucking the blankie beneath her arm, she resolutely pads into our room. One awkward climb later, she, the dolly, Purple Cup, and blankie are all ensconced between me and her father. Sometimes, her foot migrates 180 degrees to my face until I can smell corn chips in my dreams.
This is my life.
Past and Present Afrofuturist Musings on Black Love
I want talk about Black love today. #BlackLivesMatter because Black love lives. Black love is the nearly imperceptible nod between strangers on the street. Kinfolk. Fam. It is the rallying hue and cry we raise when one of us is struck down. There is so much beauty in the solidarity of Black folk. This bond is not because of blind loyalty or even conscripted unity—it's because we understand how inextricably linked our lives are. Like root to soil. Like oxygen to hydrogen.
My Mother Gave Me Words: A Writer's Reflection on Reading
My mother gave me words when we had little else to call our own. I do not crisply remember those days living in an apartment with an air mattress and hardly any furniture. I would have been too young, maybe three or four. Instead, I string together memories built from dog-eared photographs and stories she has retold me since toddlerhood.
The 7 (Annoying) Habits of Highly Affectionate Couples on Social Media
I would be a dusty broad to hate love and I am decidedly well moisturized. I love love! But if you have ever had one girlfriend who discovers boys–or a boy–and never stops talking about it? You're happy for her and stuff, but omg, if you hear about that boy one mo'gin…! Other peoples' love, newly discovered and glittery, can be as annoying as sand between your toes after the beach. The annoyance is no different on social media. I have been guilty of some lovey-dovey habits that would make the mushiest girl's eyes roll back into her head.
The Speed of Life: On Sex, Housework, and Timing in Relationships
Time, and timing, is extraordinarily subjective. You ever been in the line at the grocery store behind the person who is writing out a personal check? You hate that person. It can't take more than about five minutes to fill out those blank checks but it feels closer to 15 minutes. It's almost as if you enter a time relativity warp and seconds become hours. Men, this is how women feel when we ask you to fix something and you say, "I'll get to it."

Liqui-Box goes to Sterling Group in sale
- Staff Columbus Business First
A Houston-based private equity firm has purchased Liqui-Box Corp., a flexible packaging provider in Worthington.
Sterling Group said Friday that it bought the company, its fourth purchase from Wilmington, Del.-based DuPont and Co. (NYSE:DD). Terms of the acquisition were not made public, and Sterling Group representatives did not immediately return a call for comment.
Liqui-Box supplies bags to be placed inside boxes to the dairy, beverage and bulk food industries.
The typical "enterprise value" of companies Sterling invests in is $100 million to $500 million, and the Texas company has $1.3 billion of committed capital under management, according to the company. Sterling used equity from Sterling Group Partners III LP and financing to complete the Liqui-Box deal.
"The entire Liqui-Box team is energized to partner with Sterling who has a proven track record of successfully transitioning unique, specialty businesses like ours to more nimble, stand alone companies and equipping them for future growth," Liqui-Box CEO Roszann Graham said in a release.

Utah Jazz men today, but next year?
Morris Almond
Position: Shooting guard
Contract status: Unrestricted free agent (team declined option)
Looking ahead: "Year three is, I think, going to be a year for me to blossom. First year is a rookie year, the second year you're still considered a young player. I'm looking for some big improvements going into year three."
Carlos Boozer
Position: Power forward
Contract status: Player option to become unrestricted free agent.
Looking ahead: "I'm going to talk to the team and I'll talk to my agent and my family and then I will make a decision form there. But I do want to stay here. I want to be in Utah. I want to play for the Jazz. I made that loud and clear from Day 1.
Ronnie Brewer
Position: Shooting guard
Contract status: Under contract.
Looking ahead: "(The Jazz) have the option (to work on a contract extension with me this offseason), but they have the option not to. I have no control of that, so I'm just going to work during the offseason to try to get better and improve so I can come back stronger next year."
Jarron Collins
Position: Center
Contract status: Unrestricted free agent
Looking ahead: "The Jazz, we, they, want a championship — and you never know what the future holds. You just play it by ear, and see what happens. ... I'm, knock on wood, healthy, finally; 30 years old. I'd like to play a couple more years, and move on."
Kyrylo Fesenko
Position: Center
Contract status: Team has yet to exercise/decline option for next year.
Looking ahead: "I think it went pretty well. I have a lot of improvements, I think. I have a long way to go even more, so I'll just try to stay in shape. I'll play for my national team and we'll see what's going to happen next season. I don't know yet."
Matt Harpring
Position: Small forward
Contract status: Under contract
Looking ahead: "I'm planning (to return). ... This summer I'm looking forward to trying to get motion back in my ankle, to try to get that scar tissue out there so I could move better and feel better and not have the daily pain that I'm dealing with. ... Right now, that's the issue."
Andrei Kirilenko
Position: Small forward
Contract status: Under contract.
Looking ahead: "What can we do? We can work hard during the summer and try to be better next year. … We have pretty good group of guys. We have a great chemistry in the locker room. We never have a problem with the players between each other, so I hope we can keep it. I'm feeling good."
Brevin Knight
Position: Point guard
Contract status: Unrestricted free agent
Looking ahead: "You never know in this game. I enjoyed being here. I would love to come back here. But that's the business we're in. You sit back and see if you have options or what they may be and you go from there."

"Domestic Tradable Quotas" are a new idea being pondered in Europe to bring the general public into the emissions reduction and trading game. Imaging having a personal allowance of X tons of carbon. Then every time you buy something, that item's carbon footprint is deducted from your account. If you end up with a negative account at the end of the year, you'll have to pay a fee. If it's positive, you can cash it in, like a sort of "Carbon Reward Card". The collective allowance would be capped, and reduced annually, thus lowering climate impact. It might be quite expensive to implement. Would it work? Check this BBC article for more!

By Pat Romanski How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends:
Exposing the device to a management framework
Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic
Exposing that business layer and data to end users.
This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ... Jan. 29, 2015 12:30 AM EST Reads: 2,978 |

Why are people constantly adding things like cheese, meat and the like to bruschetta? If you want that, make a sandwich! It's hard to improve on this tried and true take on the simple ingredients that came together to make a classic!
Replace the parmesan cheese by a tablespoon of good balsamic vinegar and this will be a healthier bruschetta. DELICIOUS!

Cryptographic Filesystems: Design and Implementation
As security becomes a greater focus in networks, every aspect of online information needs a level of protection from the network-level use of firewalls and IDS to the host-level use of IDS. However, an additional level of security has recently come to the forefront of security - cryptographic filesystems.
While the technology for cryptographic filesystems has been available for quite a while, the deployment of cryptographic filesystems in production environments has not taken hold.
This article will discuss some of the background and technology of cryptographic filesystems and will then cover some example implementations of these filesystems including Microsoft's Encrypting File System for Windows 2000, the Linux CryptoAPI, and the Secure File System.

D-II Hoop Seeds Out; Tough Draw for VUHS
The VPA moved quickly today, and the Division II boys' basketball pairings were out by mid-morning. Vergennes, Otter Valley and Mount Abraham will all play on Tuesday at 7 p.m., the Commodores at home, and the Otters and the Eagles on the road.
Just a few quick notes today on the Panther men's hoop game yesterday. Senior captain Tim Edwards was kind enough to talk to me for almost five minutes afterward and reflect back on his four years with the Middlebury College program as well as the Panthers' exciting rally against Trinity.
Not everything fit in the article that will come out tomorrow, which will focus on how the Panthers came back from five points down with six minutes to go, and how Trinity used a smart game plan to put Middlebury in the hole.
Farmer's market season is a while off, but last Friday morning the ovens at Good Companion Bakery in Vergennes were up and running.
MIDDLEBURY — More than a year after the stock market fall shot a huge hole in Middlebury College's endowment and sent the institution scurrying to right its financial ship, college President Ron Liebowitz this week will present balanced budget proposals through 2015 to the college's board of trustees.
MIDDLEBURY — While the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant and a tight state budget continue to generate most of the headlines out of the Statehouse, lawmakers continue to work quietly and methodically on another major issue: Health care reform.
Local lawmakers provided an update on further health care reform efforts at Monday's legislative breakfast at the Middlebury Legion.
BURLINGTON — In the first visit from the head of the U.S. Department of Agriculture to Vermont in 20 years, USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack last weekend told Vermont's struggling dairy farmers that changes in their industry are overdue, but that any reforms will need to come from farmers, not Washington.
The visit came at the end of what has been the hardest year in recent memory for Vermont farmers, who have been selling milk below the cost of production and taking out enormous loans to keep their farms in business.
MIDDLEBURY — WomenSafe is applying for a combined total of $750,000 in two federal grants to further boost the local fight against sexual abuse and domestic violence.
WomenSafe is partnering with the Addison County State's attorney's office in applying for the major grants, the first of which is for up to $350,000 over two years through a U.S. Department Office Justice's (DOJ) Office on Violence Against Women.

LEICESTER — Leicester and Salisbury voters on Town Meeting Day will be asked to substantially boost their financial commitment to removing Eurasian milfoil weeds from Lake Dunmore and Fern Lake.
Residents of both towns will be asked to earmark $7,225 toward milfoil eradication efforts in 2010, up from the $2,322 level the communities supported last year. The beefed-up financial requests come in the wake of reduced state funding for milfoil eradication, coupled with a recent spike in the spread of the nuisance aquatic weed in both lakes.

Steering Stabilizer W/ Currectlync Suggestions
I recently installed the Currectlync HD steering on my TJ. While the steering stabilizer was attached to the drag link I was having some binding issues with my trackbar brace at flex. A friend suggested I attach it to my tie rod... bad idea. I wasn't getting flex binding, however unbenounced to me I was binding at full turn I later came to realize.
It pretty much wrecked the OEM stabilizer and mangled the Currie bracket. I think I can salvage the bracket but the stabilizer rod is bent, old, tiny, and in need of replacement. Good news is no real wobbles while running without a stabilizer. I am however looking for possible suggestions on which stabilizer to replace it with. |
Whats the difference between the Skyjacker 9009 and 9119? aside from 15 dollars.
Skyjackers description.... 9009: Steering Stabilizer ; HD OEM Replacement Kit ; Silver w/Black Boot ; 9119: Steering Stabilizer ; Single Kit ; Silver w/Black Boot ; Both are on Amazon prime which is big because I live in Hawaii and shipping cost are ridiculous. Skyjacker 9009 OEM Stabilizer Kit : Amazon.com : Automotive Skyjacker 9119 Silver Single Stabilizer Kit : Amazon.com : Automotive |
and.... I answer my own question. The 9119 just comes with new mounting brackets. Amazon and its lack luster product details strikes again.
9009: Skyjacker Suspension 9009 - Skyjacker M95 Silver Steering Stabilizer for 84-06 Jeep® Cherokee XJ, Grand Cherokee ZJ, Comanche MJ, Wrangler YJ, TJ & Unlimited - Quadratec 9119: Skyjacker Suspension 9119 - Skyjacker M95 Silver Steering Stabilizer Kit for 97-06 Jeep® Wrangler TJ & Unlimited - Quadratec |

This is what I use.
http://m.autozone.com/autozone-mobil...?number=6802se $30 and works very well. You don't need a high dollar dampener, all they are is a hydro shock valved with 50/50 bias. A heavy duty dampener can add more stress to an already over worked (from larger tires) power steering unit. This is how mine is set up with currectlynk. Attachment 273933 Works great with no binding. |
I can't tell what is going on in that first photo but it sure doesn't look like it was assembled correctly... which leads me to believe that is likely what caused the problem in the first place. It should look like what is in the photo in All Terrain TJ's post which is right. Something else is going on, hard to say what it is at this point. :)
The main difference between his set up and mine, is I have a track bar brace. The trackbar brace literally sits on top of where of the shock end when flexed out. So I moved it to the tie rod, flexed it out and it was fine. I didnt realize how much movement there would be while in turns. I actually felt some binding in the parking lot, took it home check it out, and that was the result.
Track bar brace? :confused: Do you mean steering box brace?
Nope, trackbar brace. It comes with the Full Traction LA. This is how is how it was set up when I was binding on my brace.

I'm a shemale. I'm also an exhibitionist. And a news hound. These interests, as I've learned, don't always go together--or maybe they do. Let me explain.
Since becoming a woman in every detail but my genitals (which remain, as they always shall, defiantly masculine), I've delighted in "accidentally" exposing myself to men and women alike. It's much easier for a shemale to expose herself than it is for a guy, because society tolerates a great deal more display of feminine charms than it does of their male counterparts. Sure, men can show all but their cocks, balls, and asses and wh... [read more]

Unions are warning another round of more significant redundancies could be announced in days following news power company Contact Energy will shed 100 of its 1100 staff.
Engineering, Printing and Manufacturing Union national secretary Bill Newson said this morning he knew of one decision that had been made, and would be announced as early as today.
Another was pending, although no final decision had been made and he hoped the job losses could be averted.
He said he could not name the companies because the union received information in confidence.
"This is serious stuff."
The news of job cuts at Contact comes on the heels of news 192 jobs will go at Summit Wool Spinners in Oamaru and about half the 400-strong workforce at Mainzeal face redundancy after the construction firm was put into receivership.
National and Labour have both made jobs their main focus this year. The latest data shows a fall in unemployment to 6.9 per cent but also a sharp drop in the participation rate suggesting the labour market is weak.
The job losses at Contact are being partly blamed on weak energy demand, but manufacturing companies have told an Opposition-initiated inquiry the high New Zealand dollar is also curbing investment and harming profits.
Finance Minister Bill English yesterday said bosses calling for a lower dollar want to cut workers' wages.
He told Parliament's finance and expenditure select committee: "What they're actually telling you is they want to cut the real wages of their workers, because that is the other side of the equation. They want to cut the real wages of their workers," he said.
"The workers need a voice in this debate because no one is sticking up for the fact that the exchange rate underpins household living standards."
But John Walley, who heads the New Zealand Manufacturers and Exporters Association, said that while it was "undeniable" a weaker currency hit consumer purchasing power, manufacturers were concerned about their ability to operate in this country.
"You don't worry much about purchasing power if you don't have a job," Walley said.
Manufacturers were concerned that the high dollar, which makes our exports more expensive overseas, could push them out of business.
"It doesn't matter what the wages are, we won't be here to pay them."
Labour finance spokesman David Parker dismissed English's comments as "nonsense".
"What [manufacturers] want is an exchange rate which enables them to compete internationally so they can afford to pay wages," he said.
"The idea that an artificially high exchange rate is good for New Zealand workers because it holds down the price of flat screen TVs is a nonsense if they can't earn a decent wage."

As far as gastropubs go, it exceeded my expectations! I visited with my family, five of us in total, and we all ordered different meals. These being: Minted Lamb baguette (with an addition of cheese that they gladly obliged); Steak and Ale pie; Lamb Shank; Mushroom Crumble and I had Grilled Chicken with Leek and Bacon Mash with Cheese sauce....

Dear Lewys, Just a quick thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review for us. We hope to see you in the near future! Regards A. Marsden GM More
The food at the Alyn has really improved lately and is excellent value for money. Really nice setting by the river and good choice for vegetarians. Recommended. The Sunday lunch is very good.
Christmas Eve meal: chewy meat, no taste, no seasoning and just bland. It used to be so good here. The dessert was a watery crumble with tasteless ice cream. My entire table of more than 8 left disappointed. Staff were very friendly despite our grumpy faces and plates full of food being left. Waiting times for food was a bit... More

As you can imagine all feedback is essential to our business and helps us address and improve any issues that can occur. I would like to respond to the specific issues you had regarding the food. Unfortunately I arent... More
Food was OK, but lacks finesse. Better priced restaurants in the area serve similar food at a higher standard. Need to rely less on the deep fat fryer! Staff are very good though and the restaurant is very good at accommodating young children.
Visited yesterday evening with my two daughters and Mother ordered from the Christmas party menu. The Christmas dinner was beautiful had the cheesecake for desert and the best chocolate cheesecake ever tasted.
As per my last comment on this establishment we returned. Just had an early evening main and was stuffed with just one course. Tasty soft and full of flavour house burger and pan fried chicken fillet with bacon and leak mash. All washed down with a nice guest beer..
As I said read the reviews seemed good place to go. However the room where they do meals has horrible carpets and mismatched curtains. Not busy for a Friday. Ordered fish and chips and gammon steak. Beer good. Meal arrived. Big chips on both an papers under f&cs. Noticed a puddle of grease on paper. The chip were soaked with... More
Many, many years ago when my husband and I first met we used to go on romantic escapes to Rossett to have an evening away. On most visits we'd call into the Alyn for a drink. A few weekends ago during one of those beautiful balmy autumn weekends we have had recently we decided to take a drive out to... More

Tennis-Williams fights off Radwanska to win fifth Wimbledon title
LONDON, July 7

LONDON, July 7 (Reuters) - Serena Williams won her fifth Wimbledon title with an explosive start and a fighting finish to beat Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska 6-1 5-7 6-2 on Saturday.
The American blew her nervous opponent off court in the first set, spraying countless winners off both flanks, but was then forced to go toe-to-toe with the Pole before winning the last five games to take her 14th grand slam title.
She scorched to the first set in 36 minutes dropping only a single game and breaking her opponent twice, but after an early break in the second her game began to collapse and Radwanska broke twice to level the match.
As dark clouds closed in on Centre Court, Williams looked in trouble at 1-2 in the final set but she regained her composure, breaking in the fifth game when Radwanska sent a backhand long and again two games later with a delicate forehand drop shot.
She closed out the match with backhand winner and fell backwards onto the Centre Court turf in celebration. (Reporting by Toby Davis; editing by Martyn Herman)

'I'm proof that you don't have to be a perfect ten to be a beauty queen': Miss Norfolk wins plus-size pageant to be crowned Britain's Miss Beauty Curve
- Annual competition is open to women from a size 14 and upwards
- Consists of numerous rounds, including swimwear, judged by panel
- Miss Norfolk Curve Emily Blake, 24, walked away with the title
These buxom beauties prove that big really is beautiful as they strut their stuff at the Miss British Beauty Curve competition.
The pageant for plus-size women saw 30 contestants - ranging from a size 14 to a 26 - flaunt their figures in everything from evening gowns to swimsuits.
A dance number opened the show, when the girls burst onto the stage to Chris
Brown's Beautiful People.
And after a close-fought three rounds, freelance TV presenter and current Miss Norfolk Curve Emily Blake, 24, walked away with the title at the The Lost Theatre, Wandsworth, London, on Sunday night.

Participants in the Miss Beauty Curve 2014 pageant at the Lost Theatre in London strike a pose in the swimwear round of the competition
Emily Blake, 24, (centre) reacts after being crowned the winner of Ms Beauty Curve 2014
She wowed the judges after flaunting her size 16 curves in a daring yellow bikini and a sexy red dress during the finale.
Emily said: 'I feel like I'm dreaming, and I'll wake up and it won't be real.
'I'm so proud that I've won. I love being plus size, it makes me feel sexy and women who are bigger should be confident with their curves.
'When most people think of beauty queens they think of perfect bodies, tiny waists and never-ending legs.
'But I eat healthily and I exercise so I know I'm fit, this is how women should look. It's natural. I'm proof that you don't have to be a perfect ten to be a beauty queen.'
The 30 women, all of whom are at least a size 14, battled it out to be crowned Miss Beauty Curve
The ladies confidently strutted their stuff across the stage in a variety of rounds
The annual competition - open to women sized 14 and above - was judged by a panel of four including last year's winner Elena Raouna, 23, a part-time model, who handed winner Emily her crown and sash at the end.
The four judges were looking for confidence above everything else in the winner
While second judge Rio Watchorn, 21, who won Miss British Beauty Curve 2012, said the judges were looking for confidence above everything else in the winner.
'The competition is all about saying, 'yes it wobbles, get over it,' she explained. 'We want everyone competing to be proud of their curvy body, which is sexy and natural.
'I'm looking for a winner who isn't scared to flaunt their curves. It isn't easy to get up on stage in front of a room full of people, never mind when you are wearing a swimsuit, so all of the girls are incredibly brave to take part.
The pageant for plus-size women saw 30 contestants - ranging from a size 14 to a 26 - flaunt their figures in everything from evening gowns to swimsuits
Fighting against the idea that beauty is synonymous with being slim, the ladies were happy to stride on stage in swimwear
Contestants wait nervously back stage before the winner is announced
'It's great fun and it sends a healthy message to women everywhere - you can be big and beautiful. There is too much pressure on girls to be stick-thin these days, it isn't healthy.'
The rest of the judging panel included Miss Plus Size International Gemma Cruickshank, 24, who now designs her own plus-size clothing, and The Voice 2014 finalist KiKi deVille, 41.
Runners-up at the pageant were Miss South London Curve 2014, Dionne Elliot, 29, and Miss North East London, Victoria Bedford, 27, who were presented with small crowns, sashes and a bouquet of marshmallows.
Speaking after collecting her crown, second runner-up Dionne, a size 16 fashion student, said: 'I feel amazing, this is the sexiest I've ever felt.
'I love this competition, it's all about being a powerful woman and showing the world that you can be sexy and not a size 0.
'I loved every second, especially strutting across the stage in my pink cut-out swimsuit. The crown loved it.'

Crystal-structure studies on Tm2Fe17-xGax (x=0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8) compounds have shown that the prepared samples are single phase with the 2:17-type structure. Both the unit-cell volume and the saturation magnetization at 1.5 K decrease linearly with increasing Ga content. The Curie temperature is found to increase with increasing x; it goes through a maximum value of 485 K at about x=3 to lower values and then it rises again. The Tm2Fe17-xGax compounds exhibit a spin–reorientaiton transition at low temperature. X-ray diffraction measurements on magnetically aligned Tm2Fe17-xGax powders show that the compounds with x≤6 have the easy-plane type of magnetic anisotropy, whereas the compounds with x⋚7 exhibit the easy c-axis type of magnetic anisotropy at room temperature. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
