Preparing a menu for a restaurant turned to be quite challenging. At least quite different from cooking for 2, 4 or even 10 persons. Actually, different from cooking as I know it. Cooking for me is like art – I need both freedom and inspiration. Instead...

North Korea threats: Missile defences in the region
The US has deployed missile defence systems in response to North Korea's threats against its neighbours.
The defences, which have the capability to shoot down missiles inside and outside the Earth's atmosphere, will be ready within weeks, the Pentagon says.
Along with the US, North Korea's neighbours Japan and South Korea also have missile defences in the area.
- Japan: Patriot Advanced Capability-3 missile defence systems; warships with Aegis anti-missile capability
- South Korea: Patriot Advanced Capability-2 defence systems; warships with Aegis anti-missile capability also deployed
- Guam: US Terminal High Altitude Area Defense System (Thaad) to be deployed
- Regional waters: US Aegis-equipped warships USS John McCain and USS Decatur have moved to the Western Pacific in recent days
The North Korean threat is driving significant interest in missile defences especially in countries like South Korea and Japan. Such defences rest upon both sea and land-based elements - like Aegis-equipped warships with radars and interceptors capable of tackling ballistic missiles as well as the ground-based radars and missile systems like Patriot and Thaad.
While primarily directed against a potential North Korean threat, it is clearly hoped in Washington that over time, the build-up of missile defences in the region may encourage China to bring pressure to bear upon Pyongyang. While missile defences are for now not directed against China, it is clear that their spread could potentially have an impact upon Beijing's own strategic deterrent.
What missile defence systems are in the region and how do they work?
Aegis missile defence system
The Aegis system allows warships to shoot down enemy ballistic missiles while they are still in space.
The interceptor missiles are fired to hit missiles before they re-enter the atmosphere, stopping them well before there is any danger of causing any damage.
The US Navy, South Korea and the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force all have destroyers in the region with Aegis capability.
Terminal High Altitude Area Defense System (Thaad)
The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system, or Thaad, is being developed as a rapidly-deployable system capable of defending against short and medium-range ballistic missiles during the late-mid-course and terminal phases of their flight.
The system - being deployed by the US to the Pacific island of Guam - can destroy enemy missiles at ranges of 200km and at altitudes up to 150km and is used to protect high-value strategic or tactical sites such as airfields or populations centres.
Thaad has been much delayed in development and the Guam deployment will be its first real mission. The first two of nine planned batteries were only scheduled to be delivered to the US Army in 2012.
1. The enemy launches a missile
2. The Thaad radar system detects the launch, which is relayed to command and control
3. Thaad command and control instructs the launch of an interceptor missile
4. The interceptor missile is fired at the enemy projectile
5. The enemy projectile is destroyed in the terminal phase of flight
The launcher trucks can hold up to eight interceptor missiles.
Patriot air defence system
The Patriot is an advanced surface-to-air missile system intended to defend against aircraft, cruise and ballistic missiles.
It is the third layer in the defence shield and is used to stop weapons at close range.
The key elements are radar, the control centre and the launchers mounted on trucks. Each launcher holds four missiles - or 16 in the latest "Pac-3" version.
South Korea and Japan both have Patriot systems.

Don Pasquale at the Théâtre des Champs Elysées
Critics. Can you get along without us? It is possible to reflect on this when the production of Donizetti's Don Pasquale is shown on television tonight.
Anita Rachvelishvili recently performed the title role in Carmen broadcast by The Metropolitan Opera Live in HD. Here she drops by for a little chat with our Maria Nockin.
This is a revised version of my review of the Sept 5th 1991American premiere of The Death of Klinghoffer, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. The opera was first performed at Brussels' La Monnaie the previous spring.
"Although there are now more people on this planet than there have ever been before, there are fewer dramatic voices. Something is wrong with that equation. I thought there needs to be some sort of helping hand so that dramatic voices don't fall through the cracks in the system as they advance through their various stages of development."
Anna Prohaska sings Sister Constance in Poulenc's Dialogues des Carmélites at the Royal Opera House. In the same month, she's also in London to sing a recital with Eric Schneider at the Wigmore Hall, and to sing Henze with Sir Simon Rattle at the Barbican Hall.
Garsington Opera celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.
Baritone Brandon Coleman's mother, Linda, knew that 3-year old Brandon would be a great singer when a stranger who had heard him, predicted it.
Professional opera returns to the Las Vegas Valley June 6th and 8th with performances of one of the best-known comic operas of all time, Gioachino Rossini's Il Barbiere di Siviglia.
I met with the embattled artistic director of the Opéra et Orchestre National de Montepellier not to talk about his battles. I simply wanted to know the man who had cast and staged a truly extraordinary Mozart/DaPonte trilogy.
Maria Nockin interviews tenor Saimir Pirgu.
Italian conductor Claudio Abbado, former principal conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra, has died aged 80
Matthew Polenzani reprises the role of the Chevalier des Grieux in Jules Massenet's Manon at the Royal Opera House. "I love coming back to London", he says, "It's a very good house and they take care of you as a singer. And the level of music making is unbelievably high".
On Saturday evening January 25, San Diego Opera opens its 2014 season with Ruggero Leoncavallo's verismo blockbuster Pagliacci (Clowns).
The Flying Dutchman is a transitional piece because Wagner was only beginning to establish his style. He took some aspects from Carl Maria von Weber and others from Italian composers like Vincenzo Bellini.
The Royal Opera House has its own DVD arm, Opus Arte, and is developing quite a global following with its cinema broadcasts.
On a personal level, I feel that Dolores is almost like Emmeline grown up. Their circumstances are not exactly parallel, but they are both women at very different points in their lives whose stories involve dilemmas with life-changing outcomes.
With the help of Andrew Welch, a London theatrical producer who had adapted several of King's works for the stage, including this one, I got the rights to both Dolores Claiborne and Misery.
On September 18, 2013, San Francisco Opera will present the world premiere of Tobias Picker's opera, Dolores Claiborne, which has a libretto by J. D. McClatchy based on Stephen King's novel of the same name.
Ermonela Jaho caused a sensation at Covent Garden in London five years ago, when she took over Violetta at short notice from Anna Netrebko.
Critics. Can you get along without us? It is possible to reflect on this when the production of Donizetti's Don Pasquale is shown on television tonight.
Critics always show up on the first night but how different will the third performance be on the Europe-wide channel Arte "live" (well, with a few hours delay at 10:10 p.m. CET) from Paris' Théâtre des Champs Elysées? After tomorrow it will be available on their internet site, ARTE Live Web, and can be streamed to computers around the world for the next six months or so.
Will you like the staging? For our jaded eyes, having old Don Pasquale hawking cut-rate lighting fixtures out of the back of an old Citroën truck did not please. With our extensive opera-going history — part of the job — we have seen this kind of "update" so often before it seems a bit of a cliché. You might like the refreshing change from the beige, overstuffed furnishings he is normally surrounded with in traditional productions. Now a hardscrabble salesman, he still retains his sense of privilege by having the costumes for this production the work of Christian Lacroix and his suit, seen from the eyes of 1950's Italy, has him sartorially splendid. The other major plus is that he is sung by the veteran Allessandro Corbelli and it would be hard to imagine another baritone today that could so effectively inhabit these clothes and so richly portray this delicious role.
The director, Denis Podalydès, a regular at the Comédie-Française, here stages his second opera and the characters had carefully defined roles but he stuck with the traditional path of "opera buffa" with its broad gestures and overwrought emotions. The old man contracts to marry to smash the hopes of the nephew in his charge for an inheritance but the story has an old man emotionally swept away with the possibility of a new love in his life, from which he is brutally brought down. The young tenor Francesco Demuro, a name to note, is similarly wrought with passion for the young girl his disinheritance bars him from having. The flouncing free-spirited character of Norina rejects the contract of obeisance with a persistent broad brush. There is more detail to be mined in this story but new eyes watching this masterpiece of the genre for the first time will find the opera's story clearly told with emphasis on fun and contrast.
Singing, in addition to the splendid Don, was at a high level. Italian tenor Francesco Demuro gets he first big aria, "Sogno soave e casto," in the first minutes of the opera and there was a vague unease and occasional imprecise intonation we did not see later where his voice was rich in color and pleasing to the ear. With tonight's performance, very likely, you will likely hear more assured and free delivery. Soprano Désirée Rancatore has recently developed into a serious star and, forced high notes excepted, gives a near-perfect reading of the self-assured girl, and, like her tenor lover, is young and appealing in the role. A very strong reading of Malatesta by Gabriele Viviani completes a exceptional vocal quartet.
The Orchestre National de France, one of France's top orchestras, was in the pit and onstage was the excellent Radio France Choir. The dynamic conductor Enrique Mazzola, on opening night, did not have the orchestra's undivided attention and attacks were imprecise. Later the orchestra seemed to warm up to their job and played with more care. The choir, wearing what Lacroix imagines locals were wearing at that time, had no trouble finding their volume or enthusiasm. The story, despite the reservations, was clearly told and the singing was generally engaging. After a dismal opera season so far in Paris even a modest success is more than welcome. If you have access to the internet distribution, it is recommended.

Kevin Costner on the Dilemma of the Western Movie
Kevin Costner was interviewed in the Sunday L.A. Times yesterday and he had some memorable comments about why it's been so difficult to make Western movies nowadays. The discussion began with his comments on making Dances with Wolves (1993) for $16 million. Can you imagine making Dances with Wolves today and what it would cost? The shot below, by the way, is the only scene in the movie that was made with CGI, according to Costner.
Anyway, here is the question and his answer on the Western movie:
And this year "True Grit" is considered one of the year's best films. Why do you think Americans seem to be so ambivalent about the genre?
Because mostly they're not done well. It was a very complicated time, and filmmakers tend to simplify them with the black hat, white hat. When they were enjoying their largest acceptance back in the '50s and '60s, [filmmakers] just got lazier and lazier. When they're done really well, there's a lot of dilemma because the way you and I live, if someone threatens us, there are three or four different layers that we can go to — the police, our politics, our PR person, our agent, our lawyer — to arbitrate our problems. Back then you had nobody to arbitrate your problems, and very often you found yourself even against the law because it's not a cliché for the lawman to have been bought back then. If somebody came and wanted your property, you had to make up your mind quickly. Very few of us have those instincts now about how we would behave. And so if you can create those in your story — the dilemma that men and women faced — then they can be incredibly entertaining.
Your thoughts, please. I tend to agree with him.
You can read the entire interview here.

Frank Rich has a good essay on the new TRUE GRIT vs THE SOCIAL NETWORK in the NY Times. He makes similar observations.
The frontier was for a period of time a place where despite the code of the west, people had to make do without (uncorrupted) law enforcement. The individual had to look out for himself and his own interests. Access to firearms was regarded as a necessity.
Despite how things have changed, as Costner points out, there are many who still have that Old West mentality and feel vulnerable without having guns handy. Some things don't change. - January 24, 2011 at 1:38 PM

I think the movie Western -- if well done -- is on the cusp of a real revival. Not the periodic blip in interest generated by the occasional TOMBSTONE or OPEN RANGE, but a bonafide, sustained resurgence of interest.
We can argue about whether it's a good idea for Arizonians to be packing heat these days, but the reality is that many Americans feel -- however amorphously or indefinably -- that we're losing that part of our essential character typically if not always overtly celebrated in Westerns: rugged individualism. We see this discontent at least partially in the inchoate opposition to statist policies that seek to remake America's image in the likeness of Western Europe. More and more people are coming to believe that our national identity is eroding by a tiny, almost imperceptible measure with each passing day. The current zeitgeist reveals -- at least to me -- an unsettled populace that, on a subconscious level, is struggling to remain upright in the face of hurricane-force winds of change. (Some folk might call this tilting at windmills.) The mythological Old West lost much of its cultural cachet decades ago, but it has never entirely vanished from the American psyche; it has merely receded into the background only to emerge periodically.
Many if not most Americans feel powerless before these winds of change, so it's to be expected that some will take comfort in the enduring myths of the Old West: the fundamentally optimistic pioneer spirit, the deeply ingrained belief in self-reliance, and the concept that following the law to the letter does not always put one on the path to justice.
The movie business is cyclical, and I suspect the critical and commercial success of TRUE GRIT will generate another wave of Western movies, some likely built around grizzled but fiercely independent protagonists of dubious character. The wave's size, strength, and longevity will depend upon how well made those movies are, and how closely they track the nation's current mood. - January 24, 2011 at 3:11 PM
- Barry Traylor said...
An interesting article (thanks for the link) which I will read tomorrow when I have time. As much as I enjoyed Dances With Wolves I'm still trying to forgive him for what he did to The Postman, which is one of my favorite David Brin SF novels.
- January 24, 2011 at 6:57 PM
- Laurie Powers said...
I tend to agree with Ed for the most part. But if movies are cyclical, then why did we not get a wave of Westerns after UNFORGIVEN won Best Picture? Or were there a wave of movies that I just didn't notice?
While I hope that TRUE GRIT will be influential in that way, I'm thinking that studios are still going to be cagey about committing to Westerns. It's going to take several TRUE GRITs, I think, to get them back on the bandwagon. The fact that TRUE GRIT has already made $133 million is astounding. Like I've been trying to tell everyone since this movie came out, it's NOT about whether the movie is as good as the original. THAT'S NOT THE POINT. THE POINT IS TO GET PEOPLE TO START WATCHING WESTERNS AGAIN and this one is a good place to get people engaged again. And thank God the Coen brothers stepped up to the plate because people will go see a Coen brothers movie. Let's all hope the momentum continues. - January 24, 2011 at 9:23 PM
- Ed Hulse said...
To Laurie's question: I'm guessing we didn't see a wave of Westerns after UNFORGIVEN because the zeitgeist was different. While it's true that genre movies run in cycles, conditions in the culture have to be favorable to revivals. For example, the transatlantic flights of Charles Lindbergh (in 1927) and Amelia Earhart (1928) were instrumental in launching a wave of aviation movies in the late '20s. There had been movies about aviation and aviators before, but headline-grabbing feats such as Lindbergh's captured the public's imagination. That, in turn, persuaded Hollywood that films about flyers would be good box office.
It remains to be seen if TRUE GRIT is an anomaly like UNFORGIVEN or the beginning of a new cycle. I happen to think the latter is true. I also agree that the quality of the new Westerns will be, you should pardon the expression, paramount in determining how large the wave grows and how far it sweeps across the pop-culture mainland. New Westerns have been made all along, but most are shoddy productions that go straight to video. To this day many film buffs remain unaware that Chris Coppola (Nic Cage's brother and Francis Ford Coppola's nephew) made a Hopalong Cassidy film in 1999. The picture was such a low-budget piece of crap that uncle Francis was asked to help make it even remotely marketable. (I'm told that, among other things, he called in a favor and got Martin Sheen, who appears with Robert Carradine in wraparound footage that frames the main story.) It was released on video as GUNFIGHTER. And that's just one example. I've seen and reviewed other recently made Westerns that, swear to God, looked like home movies or student films. - January 25, 2011 at 6:33 AM
- Walker Martin said...
I see that TRUE GRIT has received 10 Oscar nominations, second behind only THE KING'S SPEECH 12 nominations. Only good can come from all this attention to a western film(I hope).

When medication and other non-surgical treatments are either unavailable or cannot relieve symptoms, surgery is the accepted treatment for a broad range of conditions that affect the male reproductive organs and the organs of the urinary tract. These conditions include, but are not limited to, prostate cancer, ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction, bladder and kidney cancer and vesicoureteral reflux.
Facing any kind of urologic surgery creates a great deal of anxiety for most men. Among your concerns is: "Will my body function normally following surgery?" Traditional open urologic surgery—in which large incisions are made to access the pelvic organs—has been the standard approach when surgery is warranted. Yet common drawbacks of this procedure include significant post-surgical pain, a lengthy recovery and an unpredictable, potentially long-term impact on continence and sexual function.
Fortunately, less invasive surgical options are available to many patients facing urologic surgery. The most common of these is laparoscopy, which uses small incisions. While laparoscopy can be very effective for many routine procedures, limitations of this technology prevent its use for more complex urologic surgeries.
A new category of surgery, introduced with the development of the da Vinci® Surgical System, is being used by an increasing number of surgeons worldwide for prostatectomy and other urologic procedures. This minimally invasive approach, utilizing the latest in surgical and robotic technologies, is ideal for delicate urologic surgery. This includes prostatectomy, in which the target site is not only tightly confined but also surrounded by nerves affecting urinary control and sexual function. Using robotic-assisted surgery, your surgeon has a better tool to spare surrounding nerves, which may enhance both your recovery experience and clinical outcomes.

Binding size help!
I'm a beginner and just bought my first board and bindings. On the binding box it read 6+. I assumed that was sizing info since there was nothing else about sizing on the box. My boot size is shaping out to be a 9 and I was wondering if I made the wrong purchase. I assumed 6+ meant sizes 6 and up. However when I got home and put them on I realized "SM" was etched into the back of the bindings which makes me think I bought smalls. Do I take them back? They're Sims brand if that helps.

Hey there guys, this is Jay Turla a.k.a shipcode again! I decided that I will be writing a series of tutorial for the web pentesting tools that are compiled in the pWeb Suite. For today our focus will be HelLFiRE, a Local File Automation (LFi) tool that is powered by Perl's Regular Expressions.
To check the usage of HelLFiRE, just type ./HelLFiRE -h in your terminal emulator.
Basic Usage:
./HelLFiRE -u url
Added Options:
add -s seconds for sleep delay between requests.
add -a "USER AGENT" to specify USER AGENT.
./HelLFiRE -u 'http://127.0.0.1/vuln_include.php?filename=class.php' -a "Mozilla/5.0″ -s 2
pWeb suite has a vulnerable code for you to try playing with your LFI skills, it can be found under pWeb/LFi/vulnCode/vuln_include.php. So if you have your Apache server running, you should be able to transfer this vulnerable code and run it under /var/www so that the vulnerable php file can be pointed in your browser with this address 'http://127.0.0.1/vuln_include.php' / http://localhost/vuln_include.php.
And this is how you include a file to the link: http://localhost/vuln_include.php?filename=filename.php
In my case, I'm using class.php which is a PHP code I wrote that performs simple addition. So if I attack this URL by using HelLFiRE without adding the USER AGENT and the sleep delay between requests, I can just type in the terminal:
./HelLFiRE -u 'http://127.0.0.1/vuln_include.php?filename=class.php'
If the attack is successful, the depth and all files from /etc on the Unix or Linux/GNU system will be cloned which can be found under ../logs/scans/127.0.0.1 directory. If it says "83 files raped from server", that means it was able to copy 83 files from the /etc directory.
So if I use the command, cat ../logs/scans/127.0.0.1/etc.passwd, I should be able to see something like this..
Simple yet cool tool right? If you want to download and check this tool just click this link. Douglas (the creator) has also included a video introduction about the tools he added in pWeb suite =)

text: 300TH BANK ORDERS SUMMIT.NET Check Image System Provider Reports Contract Milestone JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - (August 1, 2007) - Summit Financial Solutions, Inc. (OTCQX: CSVI) today announced that it has booked contracts from the 300th bank for the Summit.NET Check 21-based Image Platform. This number does not include banks that have licensed individual Summit.NET modules such as Branch Capture or Remote Deposit from Summit and its reseller/partners. Summit also announced strong results for the first half of 2007, with a 30% increase in the number of contracts over the same period last year. A significant percentage of the new orders are to replace older check image solutions that are reaching their fourth and fifth year installation anniversaries. According to Ron Thill, President of Summit, "Since becoming a part of Computer Services, Inc. (CSI) in January, Summit's new sales have increased substantially. Being a part of CSI has played a big part in the increase in orders as banks continue to look to solid, long-term players as technology partners. As an example, during the same week that we booked the 300th contract, three more banks also entered contracts, followed by an additional four banks the next week. We are very pleased with the excellent results for the first half of the year, and we are projecting continued strong growth for the rest of 2007 and beyond." Thill continued, "To stay ahead of the expanded support requirements that accompany growth, Summit is implementing aggressive expansion in our support department. Our goal is to have an infrastructure that continues to stay well ahead of the support requirements of our growing user base." Summit.NET was the first image system to be 100% developed using Microsoft's advanced .NET architecture. This advantage, plus the positioning of Summit.NET as the "Open Alternative to Host-Based Image Systems," has been extremely well received by banks looking for an "open" solution that also can be integrated into their host system. About Summit Financial Solutions, Inc. About Computer Services, Inc. All statements except historical statements contained herein constitute "forward-looking statements." These forward-looking statements rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and are subject to a number of uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside of Summit's or CSI's control, which may cause actual results to differ materially from such statements.

It was sooo much fun!!!!! I'm soo glad that I skipped my school prom to go! Everyone was really nice and there was no drama or anything!!!! And everyone looked SO good, which was surprising because there was no dress code!!!! *rant rant rant*
There was a couple specific points of interest though... I mean, I wasn't expecting it to be as fun as it was because the only person I knew was my ex, but she introduced me to her friends, and so on so I knew a fair few going into it.
I hate when I legitimately forget about it, and have to make it all up at 11:30 at night.... At least when I procrastinate, it feels like my fault...
That is all... Good night.
I've succumbed! For (about) two years now I've refused to watch Glee. I get to spring break, and what do I do? Watch every single episode that is out in five days! It would've taken me less if I found the second season sooner... And now I'm listening to Glee songs as I type this... I have fallen soo far!!!!
And on top of that I've started to actually RELATE to the characters... Which makes me fall in love with them... Which makes me want to watch more!
My dad and I were just talking, and he made a very true statement. At this point in my high school career, I'm coasting until the end.
But there's a problem with that. I don't like to coast! I don't like just waiting for things to happen. It's not like I expect things to happen instantly, or for things to be given to me. But I like working towards something, and I'm not and it's driving me insane! I wanna be driving towards my destination, not just dawdling towards it!
It was SUCH a cute movie!!!! I would have never thought of Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor as a cute couple, but they WERE, and it was adorable!!!!
That is all... I just needed to spaz a bit.
And hopefully will make a habit of checking the forum more often... I'm very bad at that... ^^;;;
Well, life's been interesting since I last posted. I'm pretty much out to everyone, which is nice. I'm participating (well really, organizing) the Day of Silence at my school this year, and I'm going to the gay prom in the city near us. So that part of my life is going lovely!
I mean.... Catch-up... As in catch up time.
I haven't been on in sooo long!!!!! I've just been soo busy with school and other crap and stuff, so I'm going to ramble about everything important that's happened since I've been away.
I'm not gonna rant on forever though, because I REALLY need to stop procrastinating and write my essay.
I thought my weekend was going to be boring, because I was going to be with my cheerleading team the entire time, but in fact I ended up coming out to half my team, and they surprisingly didn't take it too badly!
I also came out to my cousin, and he's fine with it too! Although he thinks that my family is going to be okay with me being gay, and I don't agree with him....
... Under my workload....
I'm seriously going to be suffocated by the end of the first marking period, and it's kinda funny, because I don't even get homework in most of my classes...
US History Gem is killing me. I still have to read that book that I previously mentioned, and I have to look up some political cartoon, make sense of it and write about it. AND I'm supposed to be reading the next chapter in our textbook....
Needless to say, I haven't read a chapter out of there since the second week...
Today, tomorrow, and Wednesday... I'm nervous as hell, especially because I failed miserably today... And I can't fix my damn elbows... But I have two days left, and Coach knows that I work really hard.
But I'm still nervous as hell that I'm gonna be stuck on JV again...
Oh, and I don't think I'm going to finish my US History book, AND write a book report on it by next Wednesday... I have like 400 pages left, and I fall asleep every time I pick it up...
I want to start off with saying that I looooove not caring who knows about my sexuality (besides family...) It's soooo nice!!!!
ANYWAYS... I worked at an antique show at my school ALL day today (like 8 in the morning to 7 at night) so I could pay for my senior trip.... And being nice to people for that long is REALLLY freakin' hard!!!!
Although it was fun, so I'm okay with it. The worst part though was at the end, when we were cleaning up... We had to break down all the tables that the vendors were using, and I got like fifteen splinters in my hands from doing so.
Soooo.... My weekend was fun.
Well the second day at least. The first was boring and rather irritating... But I'm not getting into it.
Soooo, I got to meet my friend since kindergarten for the first time in seven years. It was cool!!! He brought his best friend (who was christened 'Marco Percy Taylor Nancy' by us) and I brought mine. It was really cool, especially since we act like we've never left each other!!!
Bad news about him though: He's seen Wicked, and I haven't. And he's taller than me... By six inches....
You know you want to.
So much for their 'trying to understand' crap! They've blocked half of my LGBT sites!!! Because they didn't agree with the DOCUMENTARIES I was watching!!!!
I'm sooo glad that they haven't blocked Oasis yet though. I'm ight go insane if they did!!!
I just do. I know I don't have the worst family in the world, but I can't stand to be around them anymore.
I'm just sick of them using my sexuality as an excuse for everything, and I love how that now that they want MY support on an issue that I don't think is the right way to solve something (AKA my mothers boob job), that it's bigoted and rude to not wish to talk about it at all.

It has been a fun couple of weeks at the Gab for Johnny Monkey. Today, Johnny Monkey got a vacation offer that he cannot refuse. Since there will be no computers where Johnny Monkey is going. This will be the last opportunity for Johnny Monkey to converse on the Gab for a long while. Johnny Monkey wishes to thank his new friends at the Gab for an interesting two weeks. Best of luck until we meet again and don't forget to eat your vegetables.
Thoughts from an Island Girl
One of the latest fads are the 'Angry Birds' and this is catching on like a wildfire. I think this goes along with the times. Even here in blogger land. Every one has something to be angry about. It is not like a lot of those same people are angry with the state of the games, but trying to find fault with each other. In other words, they to try to make it personal.
Sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel. ~Author Unknown
Blogging should be an outlet.
Not a means to inflict some stealth drama that no one else even cares about outside the non blog world, real life exists. Not some slight by an ambiguous person, you don't even know.
Does that make sense to you? If it does, you may take your own life too seriously. We are all taking life too seriously. People don't want to laugh, they want to complain. They want to make drama because drama sells. And it isn't like that drama matters. In ten to twenty years, this drama will not even be remembered. I don't care who you are fucking! I will never talk about my sex life because it somehow cheapens me. I don't care what you speculate either, because I have my own life, just like you had yours.
Johnny Monkey doesn't offend me, because that persona makes me laugh. Creative people intrigue me more than a sexist person who think we are little brown fuck machines. I don't even hate bar girls who want to make better of their own lives and their kids. If people think I am seeking a green card.. fuck you too! I am working hard at education. If you think that is who I am, that is who you want me to be, I am not that.
Oh yeah...another woman that loves monkeys. Johnny Monkey has been trying to explain that monkey are cool; here is a woman that gets it. Check out this link for a detailed article with video:
Note that she lets one "lucky" monkey sleep in her bed. Johnny Monkey thinks she is the lucky one.
It has been brought to Johnny Monkey's attention that there is a gimp legged old captain that has been speaking poorly of monkeys. Johnny Monkey will teach the captain some manners.

Our Sunday Brunch was lovely! I would recommend the crab cakes and the country fried steak. Both were excellent. The view was a breath-taking panoramic view of the ocean. Though it was overcast it was still very beautiful. To compliment all of this the service was warm and the manager was very attentive. |

Wednesday, 09 February 2011 14:10
A proposal to extend the Three Bridges Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) will be discussed at the next meeting of the East Crawley County Local Committee.
The proposals are contained in a report to the Committee from County Hall highways experts.
They include Northgate Road, incorporating Dyers Almshouses, and The Birches.
The report says: "Despite the introduction of the CPZ, as well as Civil Parking Enforcement in Crawley Borough in April 2010, the limitations of the existing waiting restrictions and inconsiderate parking by non-residents in unrestricted roads such as The Birches have been a major concern for many residents in Three Bridges.
"In Northgate Road, incorporating Dyers Almshouses, demand for parking from residents and visitors has increased over the years. It is now at risk of outweighing the available parking space in the road.
"Northgate Road is a standalone zone, so there is very little alternative if all parking spaces are taken at a particular time. Unsurprisingly, residents have expressed concern over their inability to park, despite having paid for an annual parking permit.
"There is also concern that residents in Dyers Almshouses may not be able to have visitors on a regular basis. Officers are keen to increase the parking that is available in the road."
Richard Burrett, Committee Chairman, said: "The proposals have been drawn up in response to issues raised by various groups, including residents, traders and the Three Bridges Community Forum."
The meeting is being held in the Longley Room, Crawley Library, on Wednesday February 16, starting at 7.30pm.

Bayou Classic: A Brand You Trust
As time passed, it became apparent that many forms of American cuisine had evolved, but few products were available to fill the various needs. Recognizing this fact, Barbour International, Inc. responded by developing a full line of cooking products to meet the demands of the growing outdoor cooking market.
In 1995, Barbour International, Inc. designed a Turkey Frying product for which it holds two U.S. patents. This design has rocketed the trend of frying whole turkeys to mainstream America. In keeping with the company policy of being the innovator in the industry, Barbour International, Inc. now has additional patents pending.
To meet the needs of regions of the country having their own style of outdoor cooking based on ethnic traditions, geography, and climate; Bayou Classic offers products for all of the following:
* Southern states: "Low Country Boil"
* Eastern states: "Steaming" crabs, clams, and oysters in Eastern states
* New England: "Boiling" lobsters
* Great Lakes region: "Fish Boils"
* Central States: "Boiling" corn
* Southwest: "Slow cooking" chili and stews
* Southern California, Texas and Florida: "Steaming and Boiling" tamales and menudos
* Gulf Coast: "Boiling" crawfish, shrimp, and crabs as well as gumbos and jambalaya
* West Coast: Wok cooking
* Nationwide: "Frying" fish and chicken
* Nationwide: "Frying" whole turkeys
To accomplish this, the Bayou Classic line now consists of a wide variety of stockpots and steamers, deepfryers, turkey and chicken fryers, outdoor gas cookers, cast iron cookware, and griddles. Most recently,stainless steel products including cookers, stockpots, deep fryers, and turkey fryers have been added to theproduct line. Barbour International, Inc.'s merchandising philosophy has been "narrow and deep". As a result, Bayou Classic carries a broad assortment of product within this narrowly defined segment of the outdoorcooking market. The driving principle of Bayou Classic is to offer the highest product value, determined by design, function, and safety. This principle combined with Barbour International, Inc.'s commitment to deliver superior performance in all aspects of operations has brought Bayou Classic to be,"The Finest in Outdoor Cooking Products!"

Charlie Hills was pleased to see his Kiyoshi and Cambridge finish alongside each other in a gallop at Newmarket.
Royal Ascot winner and Cheveley Park third Kiyoshi was ridden by Jamie Spencer over seven furlongs of the Rowley Mile as she builds up to next month's Qipco 1000 Guineas.
The Dubawi filly and unbeaten Investec Oaks entry Cambridge (James Doyle) tracked lead horse Society Pearl and came away together in the closing stages.
"I was pleased with both fillies," Hills said.
"With Cambridge the plan is to go for the Musidora at York. She hasn't much experience but she should stay well.
"Kiyoshi will go for the Guineas. She is still holding on to her coat but this experience should help and she's fit and well. She wouldn't want the ground too quick."
There were a few other Guineas entries given a leg-stretch, starting off with Olly Stevens' Lightning Thunder, placed in two Group races on the course, who worked under Harry Bentley and came five lengths away from Burning Blaze and the well-regarded Heisman.
"Those were two pretty good lead horses and I was very happy with that," Stevens said.
The George Margarson-trained Lucky Kristale, winner of the Lowther at York, did a steadier piece with a couple of stablemates.
Jockey Tom Queally said: "We did exactly what we wanted to do. The ground was lovely, and there was a beautiful covering of grass and she moved well on it.
"I'd be delighted with her overall demeanour and her attitude. She's very laid back and that will give her every chance of getting the trip, which I believe she will get.
"We went over seven furlongs done on feel. It would be the first time I would have ridden her in work at that speed."

Docea Power provides software solutions to model and simulate the power consumption and thermal behavior of electronic systems from an architectural perspective. The solutions are used to secure specifications, optimize the power behavior and accelerate the validation and verification of design projects. Docea Power solutions apply to both electronic systems (board, OEM devices) and semiconductor devices (IC, SoC, System in Package).
The Docea software is used by leading IC and system designers on some of the most complex electronics systems. The tools enable a larger exploration of the design space which translates in more power efficient architectures and allows both productivity gains in the management of complex power architecture data and time-to-market saving in power/thermal verification/validation.
Modeling and simulating the power management policies requires to play dynamic use cases to see the impact/benefit of each power reduction technique/power management scheme.
Aceplorer offers a way to model and simulate power management schemes before silicon.
If thermal issues (as a corollary of power consumption) are preventing your designs from sustained performance, then you are probably implementing thermal throttling mechanisms.
We can help you model and simulate the thermal throttling mechanism before silicon.
Power estimation for an SoC or a complete device requires to keep up-to-date power data on all its sub-blocks and on all use cases. It requires to manage a lot of data. Ask us how Aceplorer PI, a collaborative web-based solution, can help you in improving your power data management flow.
With the ThermalProfiler, thermal experts now have a tool to simulate more realistic worst case scenarios at a fraction of the time required by classical CFD tools. And they have a way to share a model with the system architecture team enabling more what-if analysis for more competitive products.

Comments about REN Grapeseed, Jojoba and Shea Butter Body Cream, 6.8 fl oz:
This is quite possibly the best moisturizer I have ever used. I have eczema and have run through most of the regular moisturizers on the market, but this works. I also live in MN, where we have had a brutal winter wind this year--I have windburn on my legs from taking my dog out. This helps with all of my skin issues, and unlike a major drugstore brand comprised of oatmeal extract and mineral oil (which actually made my eczema worse, but I didn't realize it) this has calmed my skin and soothed the windburn--and I only apply it after showering in the morning and on hands, feet and trouble spots at night. This works as well as the $44 rose lotion by REN but is less expensive. I love it!

Second Arrest Made In Death Of Springs Man
Tuesday, June 17, 2014
(Colorado Springs, CO) -- A second man is facing charges in the recent shooting death of a Colorado Springs man. The El Paso County Sheriff's Office says Howard Box was arrested in Arizona on Friday. Daniel Cressey's body was found in Fountain Creek in Pueblo County in late May. Investigators say they believe he was killed in El Paso County before his body was dumped in the water. Nineteen-year-old Jessy Jo Jewel Barnes was arrested in connection with the case last week.
