Bernard McCoy
"Nice name, original" I paused in thought and suddenly realised I was getting weird looks from Angel "Sorry, my name's Bernard, Bernard McCoy"
"Cool" Angel replied, still smiling. "And what brings you over to our corner, dude?"
I shrugged, trying to look cool "Heard you talking about unis, thought I'd join you"
"Yeah you were talking about Maths" the other girl replied.
"I love Maths!" I exclaimed. "I just love how all maths has one simple answer which is achievable by a simple calculation because in the end it's very easy overall- it just depends how well you work it out and whether it fits the answer. Not like creative writing, where you have to spend hours working out a variety of answers from many possible calculations at the same time as trying to entertain yourself and others" I paused and looked at Angel and the other girl, their faces appeared to have gone a little bit blank.
"Sorry...I babble a bit" I chuckled and sat in the corner with them, glad for their company. Before I'd been followed around by big muscly guys who kept calling me 'freak' of course I was used to this and didn't think anything of it. Besides it was somewhat true that I had glasses and a slightly over the top curly hairstyle- but who cared anyway, I thought once they saw me hanging with these two, they'd leave me alone. At least until one of them, grinning inanely walked into the corner and started talking to Angel and her friend.
"Hey, I'm Angel" Angel grinned.
"Ellie" Angel's friend revealed.
"Bernard" I mumbled, bowing my head hoping he wouldn't recognise me.
"Hiya Bern"
The annoying guy irritatingly grinned and introduced himself, extending a hand to Ellie first.

For all the hype surrounding Juan Agudelo heading into the 2011 MLS season it was easy to overlook the fact that he had yet to score an MLS goal.
That changed Saturday night, with the 18-year old delivering his first score in dramatic fashion, finishing off a strong run with a pin-point finish to help the Red Bulls post a 1-0 victory against the Seattle Sounders on Saturday night.
The goal delivered a well-earned win for a Red Bulls side that dominated possession but failed to produce as many dangerous chances as a Sounders side content to counter-attack.
After squandering several chances, including a Thierry Henry penalty kick saved by Kasey Keller, the Red Bulls finally broke through in the 70th minute when Teemu Tainio sent a long ball to Agudelo, who raced past Jhon Kennedy Hurtado and muscled off Nelson Gonzalez before firing a shot past Keller for his first career MLS goal.
The Red Bulls started strongly and looked ready to take an early lead when Agudelo drew a penalty after being tripped up by Jhon Kennedy Hurtado. Henry took the spot kick and hit a hard shot Keller stopped with a diving one-handed save.
Seattle had its share of chances, mainly on the counterattack, but missed chances and some clutch saves from Red Bulls goalkeeper Greg Sutton kept the Sounders scoreless.
Seattle nearly equalized late on a Montero free kick, but the rebound fell to a wide open Lamar Neagle, who shanked a clear look from close range.
The night was a good showcase for New York's new faces, including Tainio and right back Jan Gunnar Solli, who both impressed. Sutton, who was chosen as a starter over a healthy Bouna Coundoul, rewarded the team's confidence in him by making key saves and cleanly handling possession when teammates sent him passes.
Seattle's offense found chances, but struggled to apply consistent pressure without winger Steve Zakuani, who missed the match with an injury. Right winger Alvaro Fernandez showed promise after a slow start, while Erik Friberg had a quiet night in his second MLS match.
Here are the match highlights:
Seattle will look for its first win on Friday against Houston, while New York returns to action on Saturday against Columbus at Crew Stadium on Saturday.
What did you think of the match? Impressed with the Red Bulls? Still worried about Henry's injury issues? Think the Sounders are in dire need of some attacking reinforcements?
Share your thoughts below.
The Dude
These are my two teams, so to see them play each other is a real nail-biter. I thought NY deserved to win. Henry looked very lively and had several excellent passes. (I hope his hamstring is okay), and basically everyone on the team looked sharp, including Tainio, who is obviously the man in midfield. Agudelo is clearly the real deal, and he best keep Rodgers on the bench. On balance, Seattle played well, creating more clear-cut chances. Montero should have buried 1 or 2 of them. El Flaco was great, but Zakuani was definitely missed. The two poor showings were Parke and White, who just aren't good enough, IMHO. White looks out of his league in MLS. I'm hoping to see Rosales paired with Montero against Houston.
Well said The Dude, NYRB certainly had the run of play throughout and Agudelos goal was fantastic. That said, the patchwork Sounders had many more legit chances in this game and Sutton was much more busy than Keller. Montero could have easily had 2 and Neagle shanked a sitter at the death. I thought Parke played great, it was Hurtado that gave up the PK and was beaten (along with Gonzales) on the Agudelo winner….Entertaining match nonetheless, no full house on First Kick was definately a downer though…
Parke was definately the stronger of the CBS. He was clutch in a number of instances. I thought Flaco was looking dangerous before he was subbed. He did appear winded but who knows. That said, Seattle is substantially better with Zakuani. Obien white has looked average at best and I question Sigis sub choices. I know we are injured right now but Levesque just isn't the type of player you need to jump start an offense. Hold a lead, yes. We need a goal in 2011, I'm hoping it comes soon.
Parke was arguably one of the best Sounders on the pitch tonight.
There is so much talent on that Red Bull team, it's scary. They're entertaining to watch though. O'brian White is picking up where he left off at TFC – dude should have never left college. Ever.
The Sounders miss the baby giraffe, bad. It's obvious.
Very nice! Charlie Davies, Juan Aguadelo, Jozy, etc, is too early to say US Nats are starting to get more strikers in the waiting room 🙂
These are your two teams?
Do you also root for casinos to take money from poor uneducated old people on social security?
Richard, UK
Agudelo shrugged off Leo Gonzalez. Nelson Gonzalez is with Salt Lake.
Bit of morning pedantry. Lovely.
Looked like RBNY shooting practice at the start of the game. Seattle should have had 2 at least, but so should RBNY. Agudelo is one strong dude.
I can't get over Sutton > Coundoul. Sutton looked pretty awkward in USOC games last year.
Watching Seattle is frustrating to me. I have no geographical or historical reason to support them, but I like them and want them to do well because of their fan support. They frustrate me because they seem to have good passing control and movement off the ball, but they choke up in the final third. Almost no quality there.
Adam M.
Agudelo was dangerous and creative all night. Henry was solid all around, though you want him to be in position to shoot more. Keller made a tremendous save on Henry's penalty. Tchani came on as a sub and was an immeidately noticeable improvement in every respect over Ballouchy. Sutton had a fine game, as did Ream and Marequez (and the new signings). The crowd was over 20K, but not a sell-out (they can't seem to get the wings of the upper deck sold, but there are no bad seats in the place). On the other hand, it was bone chilling frigid. Finally, nice to see the Red Bulls logo visible on top of the stadium at the main entrance. An attractice addition that was indicated for a while in Red Bulls press about the Arena (which, if you haven't been, is truly spectacular except for the absurdly long concession lines).
I feel kinda bad for Bouna. Had a career year last go round, and then gets benched. What's a guy to do? lol
Great Day for American strikers in MLS and hopes this translates well for the USMNT soon…
CD9 looked like CD9 in 2009 on that second goal….
Agudelo is learning from the best w/ Henry and it showed last night – drawing a PK and having the physicality to fend off Gonzales and score the goal….
Cooper shouldn't be written off just yet – even though the Timbers got shellacked in their debut.
Now if Jozy can start scoring, Omar can get FIFA clearance to play for the W'Caps, and Teal can come strong from his injury, things might get interesting in the USMNT striker pool
Keep up the good work!
why not? we already pay them too much anyways.
after watching both of seattle's games i have to say Leo Gongzalez really blows
I froze my butt off in red bulls arena last night but it was a great game all around. RB defense was shaky (and super lucky) but when it came time, Agudelo sealed the deal.
What I am struck by is how confident he is. He seems to play like a veteran.
Also, Teemu Tainio is a great, and I mean great player. I am very pleased with that signing. He had the long ball assist to Agudelo and countless good plays and a fantastic workrate. Hope he stays long term.
Can I get an AAAAAA-MEN on the concession lines??? sweet jesus. I once lost almost the whole second half in the KC game last year, cuz I was waiting on my food. Ridiculous.
(puts down the glass of Haterade)
Ok, but bump that, yesterday was incredible day for USMNT fans after an awful start (Holden, Lichaj, Chandler). And though Charlie's game bout brought tears to my eyes, to me, it was Agudelo's goal that most impressed me. When knew Juan had ball skills and speed…BUT POWER?? Kid is pretty skinny and only 18? and yet he straight BODY CHECKED that Seattle defender like a hockey player. Wow. As both a Red Bulls fan and US fan…I've caught the vapors like Biz.
It was quite a cold night at RBA. Agudelo's goal was a good goal. I loved how he muscled off his defender.
SAs an Arsenal fan, I can't believe I'm thinking this, but Thierry Henry is disappointing me. He's heading into the direction of Claudio Reyna 2.0
Happy Camper
Juan Agudelo is the best Colombian born player in very long time. It is the pride of Colombia.
I'll never understand why people can't go 90+ minutes without eating nasty, unhealthy, overpriced garbage. I swear I saw an $8.00 Miller High Life at a game. WTFIT?
I think it bodes well for Juan's game going forward (from this point on). It has been said by footballing minds greater than mine that Jhon Kennedy Hurtado is the best 1-v-1 marker in MLS, he proved it on Tuesday with a good performance vs. L. A., against what may be inferior competition no doubt, yet, from reports, Agudelo was consistently beating him last night … so what does that say about Agudelo's play?
I was one of the late arrivals at the game last night (I need to work out how long the commute via PATH will actually take). What really surprises me over the past two seasons is what good football RBNY is playing. Seriously as I watched Seattle's clumsy traps, long passes out of bounds and frequent loss of possession I thought, boy the Red Bulls looked like that (much of MLS looked like that)only two or three years ago. Seattle played with about nine guys in the defensive third and depended on counter attacking play to generate all of their offense. I remember Dane Richards and Jozy Altidore attacking the same way a few years back. Anyhow, Red Bulls played a very beautiful game last night glad to see truly good play in MLS!
"(which, if you haven't been, is truly spectacular except for the absurdly long concession lines)."
As a Seattle fan working in NYC this week I was thrilled to get a chance to check out this new "Jewel" of MLS Stadiums. I don't mean to come off as a hater but i thought it was really a very poor fan experience.
The good part is the actual game experience: Great pitch, seats right on top of action, not a bad seat in the house…truly a great place to watch a game.
But everything else seemed substandard to me. The concourses are narrow and virtually impossible to negotiate because they put so many stands and kiosks next to each other, fans are lined up across the concourse choking traffic. The bathrooms are porrly designed to have minimum folks lined up inside and maximum lined up into the concourse, futher making traffic impossible.
The food options semmed very pedestrian and corporate to me. There's no real fan experience going on except the game itself. No buzz, nothing. Even the pregame for Opening night was non-existent. No build up and sense of anticipation. 20 minutes of canned music, introductions and we're off.
While I'm not a fan of the marketed totally canned experience, the Red Bull FO just don't seem able to be bothered to even try.
Last 2 points: from an outsider perspective, the stadium location feels very foreboding and unwelcoming. Rundown, no shops, restaurants, hardly even streetlights. Not a place I want to come back to again and again. Hopefully they have some plans to develop that surrounding area.
And where were the fans? No way 21,000 in the house last night. Maybe 15K tops. That's disappointing.
Overall: the game experience is an A, but the total fan experience is probably a C- or D.
All that said, it was an entertaining game and the folks in NJ/NY have a fun team to support. I hope they start to.
As a seattle fan I'm forced to agree with your observations regarding both teams. Sigi insists Seattle will always play uptempo "beautiful game" football but with the injuries and short week, he obviously chose a conservative strategy that was almost doomed to fail from the moment of the opening kick.
What I saw from NY in the first half is what we've been promised in Seattle. We get glimpses but still waiting for the real deal.
Machista Gay
Sutton was a struggle, old man did not "cleanly handling possession when teammates sent him passes"….Guy made the crowd nervous
Note to Bob Bradley: Juan Agudelo is the real deal. Let's forget all the talk about bringing him along slowly–the kid can flat out play and deserves a starting spot in the U.S. lineup in Saturday's friendly against Argentina. After all, the game's being played in the Red Bulls own backyard so Agudelo should feel right at home.
I'm not sure what you're talking about with Parke. He was always in the right position and broke up several NY attacks. He was Seattle's best player last night. El Flaco was the one who disappointed.
I was also at the game last night and also left most impressed with the midfield control and distribution by Tainio – as the DM sitting in front of the back four, he was constantly controlling the play and keeping the ball moving. He was fantastic.
One thing I noticed about RB's defense is that although Ream and Rafa are great distributors, it looked like Seattle's plan was to try to beat them with speed, and almost succeeded. I remember one instance where Rafa just watched a Sounder blow by him. The defense is organized, though.
Whereas Tainio controlled the bottom of the diamond, Ballouchy seemed like he was trying to do too much at the top, and his passing was off. He should have been subbed out at the half.
It is clear how RB wants to play as a possession-based side, which is enjoying to watch. Funny though that their goal was pure Route 1 – long ball over the top. Class finish by Agudelo.
Pump the brakes there fella.
good game! was there a snow storm or just crappy fan base?
Great way to start the season for NYRB. Juanito is the truth for sure. Confused also about how Sutton starts over Bouna. I have to agree w/ our out of town guest, for a such a beautiful viewing experience for a game, the concessions are an absolute joke, and the people that staff them are even worse. BS corporate, disgusting food, a shame to the NYC area, and neighboring portugese population. they have to figure out a way to make the experience better, and def have to remodel the joke of a PATH train station where 10K people have to funnel through three friggin turnstyles, gotta be some sort of fire code violations or something??? thanks for letting me rant. GO NYRB!!
LOL are you comparing every OTHER team as poor uneducated elderly???? LOL thanks for the compliment…. COYRB
You being from seattle, i'll give your a slight break…. but if you think there was nothing around there….well good.. cuz the hundreds of authentic portuguese, spanish, brazilian restaraunts/bars will now be free from outsiders for now… As for the stadium, the FO built this and managed it as EVERY stadium in europe… perhaps you enjoy a fat guy selling cotton candy walk up and down the rows, or other disgusting american football stadium experience…. but we are here to watch the game. and the game was sold out, but only 21000 showed up. that was correct.
The real deal because he scored ONE goal in MLS?!?!? Simmer down dude!!! He has bags of potential but he needs to be brought along slowly for him to reach his full potential!!!
Um…talk to me 5 to 10 games into the season. If it wasn't for Keller's good guess I doubt you would be saying that about Henry.
Couldn't put it better myself. Agree about Ballouchy – very sporadic.
As long as the average attendance keeps rising I think they are on the right track. They aren't going to go from 10K average to 22K in 12 months without signing an entire team of EPL and Liga all-stars.
Guess I can't let that mis-impression stand. There are wonderful restaurants with great Portuguese and Brasilian food in the greater area. I understand that. And you're making my point for me. You may not want outsiders at those restaurants but the restaurants sure as hell want outsiders. It's the heart of the argument that stadiums and teams spur economic development, tourism, jobs etc.
So why is the stadium set up to not better take advantage of the situation? I was referring to the actual land immediately surrounding the stadium.
Walking from one of those restaurants, especially in that cold, is not exactly convenient, but I was surprised that the stadium exists sort of in the middle of a giant vacant field or something. It just looks abandoned and rundown. Like I said, I hope there's a plan to develop that area…maybe practice fields or an Academy or some mixed retail combining restaurants and shops. I'm not putting anyone down, I was making observations.
And it's quite silly to say the staduim is designed to be euro-authentic. Seriously? I agree the stands and pitch are great, but to an objective outsider, the concourse, food choices, facilities etc are subpar to other stadiums I've been to in MLS. I hate cotton candy and I never buy beer from vendors, but without them at RB stadium it seems you'll have to be prepared to miss 20 minutes of running clock. How's that a positive experience for fans?
You have every right to be proud of having a SSS, but you should also be prepared to confront your FO and not settle for conditions that take away from your experience as a fan. You're paying top dollar to line their pockets. Get your money's worth. Or is that not a euro-authentic position?
We'll have to agree to disagree on the attendance. Red Bulls were offering 50% discount on tix yesterday so they obviously were having issues selling out. A redbulls fan next to me told me it looked like maybe 15-17K to him.
So maybe next year I'll come out for a game, you'll take me to your favorite area restuarant and give me the full tour. I'll treat.
that was supposed to be the reason they drafted Tetteh, but we haven't seen anything from him since draft day
If you didn't think there was anything in terms of "fan experience" outside the stadium last night, you must have been at a different game.
The food options are worse this year. For whatever reason, they seem to have gotten rid of the better choices.
The surrounding area hasn't been developed yet. It's in the works.
Sorry, but as a long-time RB/Metro season ticketholder, I have to agree with ciscokid. I was really disappointed with the lack of just about anything(other than cheesy fireworks during the national anthem)to suggest it was opening night.
A dude doing wheelies on a motorcycle?
A gigantic SUV thingy with some guy spinning awful music? All to advertise the Red Bull brand.
And the comments about there not being anything there around the stadium is actually right on. You're talking about a 10-15 minute walk over to the Ironbound. Sure, that's fun. But if you exit at Harrison, a first timer would say, "What the F is this?"
I grudgingly missed the game on Saturday night due to family commitments, but I think it's worth mentioning that the ground surrounding the stadium will be developed. The original plan was to have restaurants/bars, shops, condos, etc.. I'm guessing the economic downturn impacted the development, but due to the transportation options there with the Path train and Newark Penn just over the bridge, someone will develop that area. That's why there aren't any parking lots but rather fenced off open spaces.
Eric Stover sent out an apology letter to season ticket holders earlier today about the poor service and promised a makegood. I'll be interested to see what they got rid of and what, if anything has been added.
Large Johnson
Tainio's ball was world-class. Agudelo's finish was strong and accurate, but without that pinpoint lob onto his foot, he never gets the chance to be off to the races.

Very powerful, dominant and diabolical orchestral action track with choir chants. Staccato, threatening, awesome, overpowering and majestic. Live orchestral instruments and live choir combined with clever use of samples to create a huge sound that would not be out of place in any Hollywood production. Suitable for film trailer, action, war, battle footage as well as combat sports or any other explosive material.
A spine-tingling, dramatic action cue with orchestral and techno elements in equal portions. Big strings and horns (live orchestra) are broken up by a synth riff and powerful rock drums. As if that wasn't enough, a choir enters towards the end with staccato chants. Hard hitting mayhem, great for film trailer, powerful action or battle scenes, combative sports, etc.
A dark and twisted action fantasy or sci-fi film soundtrack cue, featuring a live orchestra and a live choir. Gloomy and majestic at the same time, the piece depicts a deep conflict, pain and determination. Suitable for explosive film trailer, war or battle footage, combat and conflict.

This is an examination of insect pheromones as pest-controlling agents. Until recently research was mainly concerned with lepidoptera (butterflies and moths), since they comprise the major group of agricultural pests worldwide. However, research is now being carried out on other insect orders, which form the subject of this book. It represents research on a variety of insect groups, detailing the progress of research in that area.
"Since insect pheromones were identified in the late 1950s and research began on exploiting the potent behavior-modifying chemicals as pest control agents, most of the attention has been paid to moths, the most serious agricultural pests worldwide. Here scientists survey the more recent research into other insect orders and evaluate its potential application for pest control. They report on the history and current progress in elucidating the biology and the chemistry, initiated or envisioned control strategies, agriculture, horticulture, forestry, stored products, and other aspects. They discuss fruit flies, gall midges, scarab beetles, weevils, aphids, termites, phytophagous bugs, termites, and other pests. They also discuss beneficial insects, including predators, parasitoids and their hosts, and bees."--SciTech Book News

Bon Dia, Buenos Dias, Good Morning!
Just a few weeks ago, this was the view from my Casp74 apartment in Barcelona's Eixample district. I felt like a local, even if just for a few days, getting the spirit of "la rauxa i el seny". Characteristic of Barcelona culture, "rauxa i seny" is variously interpreted as a mix of avant garde and common sense, impulse and sanity, spontaneity and measured process, madcap and businesslike. "Rauxa i seny" is the essence of Barcelona's modernista design and prominently showcased in the Eixample.
Eixample, meaning "expansion" in Catalan, was developed in the late 19th/early 20th centuries because of the overcrowded, disease-filled areas of Old Town, Barri Gòtic. It was designed to be life-enhancing area, bringing in the light and fresh air missing from the old town south of it. A distinct characteristic of the Eixample is the community gardens, like the one in the photo, that form the central areas of the buildings of each neighborhood allowing all buildings to get light during the day. Most of the city's famous modernista architectural gems are located in the Eixample, including Antoni Gaudi's famous works Sagrada Familia, Casa Milà and Casa Batlló. It's also the heart of contemporary design in Barcelona.
I had an excellent introduction to Barcelona's "rauxa i seny" design culture in Context Travel's two hour Made in Barcelona walking tour. Our guide, Suzanne Wales, is a writer and consultant who specializes in design, art and architecture.
These are a few of the highlights I enjoyed along the way.
Rauxa i Seny Barcelona
Hotel Omm
Our group met in the lobby of Hotel Omm on Carrer Rosselló just off of Passeig de Gracia, a major Barcelona avenue where our tour was concentrated. When the hotel opened 10 years ago, it was the first design hotel in the city and is itself an example of vibrant creativity and sensible design. The curved sections of the stone façade allow optimal street views, sunlight, sound and privacy for the guests.
Inside are many stylish and whimsical touches, such as this red flowing sculpture in the lobby restaurant, Moovida.
From the hotel's rooftop, I got a view of the back side of Gaudi's La Pedrera (Casa Milà) sprouting its unusual chimneys at the top that are nicknamed "espantabruixes" (witch scarers).
If you're looking for unique or special contemporary housewares, furniture, decorative objects, and gifts, Vinçon might have just the right item for you. There is a surprisingly large and eclectic collection of offerings in this design emporium that was opened with the intent to bring design to the people. Many of the items are a combination of function, form, and art that might even amuse and entertain. Some of the lamps in the lighting department certainly seemed to fit that description.
The building was once the home of painter Ramón Casas and his living area is part of the attraction with features such as beautiful mosaic tile flooring, a grand staircase and this large, ornate fireplace.
Vinçon is also known for its provocative changing window displays. On our visit, this one of men's briefs was at the main entrance.
Celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, Lladró creates luxury hand-crafted porcelain figurines and home decor of various styles and disciplines. Pieces from Lladró designer Jaime Hayon's Fantasy collection portray the "fusion of what can be done in porcelain with fantasy awakening the imagination".
Palau Baró de Quadras – Casa Asia
Originally built for a baron, this stunning building is now the headquarters for Casa Asia, a company that promotes trade between Asia and Spain. The architect, Josep Puig, who designed this Gothic-inspired building had also worked with Gaudi. The wrought-iron front door and interior staircase are just two of the building's beautiful features.
At nanimarquina, you'll be encouraged to look, touch and even step on the designs. Founded by textile designer, Nani Marquina, this company has been designing rugs and other textile products since 1987. I loved the distinctive colors, textures, patterns and shapes of these meticulously handcrafted rugs and other goods in the shop, which is located in a renovated parking garage. Here are just a few of the extraordinary rugs that caught my eye.
Ecologically brilliant, the Bicicleta rug is made using recycled bicycle inner tubes.
The Kala Rug was developed using drawings of school children in India. A portion of the proceeds from every sale of the rug go to the Care & Fair organization that fights against child labor in India.
Mandarin Oriental
The Mandarin Oriental is located in a former bank building that was exquisitely remodeled by Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola who calls it a "Grace Kelly hotel" with its chic creamy colors and classic elegance. The photo is of Blanc, a restaurant on the ground floor in the center of an atrium with a hanging garden and much stylish detail. We're looking through a screen of snowflake cutouts that goes around Blanc.
There's really much more to see of Barcelona's "rauxa i seny" design culture on the tour and learn from the expert insights of guides like Suzanne. I highly recommend Made in Barcelona tour for anyone interested in learning more about Barcelona's design world. Thank you, Context Travel, for hosting my walk.
Bona Nit, Buenas Noches, Good Night!

I love Barcelona – such a lot to savour if you like food and art.
Awesome tour….I definitely have to remember the Hotel Omm!
Even though I've been to Barça four times now, and despite one of my closest friends being from there I'd never heard that phrase before – love it – and it does capture the way I think of the city. I'm definitely coming around to liking guided tours these days. You get to find out about places you miss if you're doing the spontaneous thing, although I will always love doing that too.
We love Barcelona and this post reminded us of all the reasons why. Great photos and narrative — armchair travel at its best.
Upon graduation, Elies Rogent, the Director of the Barcelona Architecture School, said of Gaudi, "We have given this academic title either to a fool or a genius. Time will show."
I wish I'd known about a walking tour – or had been smart enough to do the research before I visited Barcelona last year. What a marvelous view from the hotel. Vincon looks like a fun place to visit. Nice selection of photos too Cathy,
Oh, Barcelona has so much to tempt. A week was not enough!
Fascinating tour of the architectural diversity in Barcelona. I especially loved the Casa Asia and the Vincon fireplace…wow! Such ornamental details. Incredible…what a wonderful tour my friend.
I'm glad you got to see Lladro. I love their pieces, in fact, I own a few.
Casa Asia interior and nanimarquina interior & rugs looks amazing. Bicicleta and flowers rugs looks really nice. Vincon looks unique in its own way. Interesting places for sure.
I always love visiting Barcalona, but it´s good to know a few different places to throw into the mix each time. I enjoyed seeing Casa Milà from a different perspective. Can´t wait to get back there now 🙂
What a fabulous walking tour! I love how eclectic this tour was. Those briefs on display were a crack-up. I would love to see Casa Asia one of these days. Love that interior shot. I am a fan of Lladró and love looking at the. It's way out of my price range and not too practical having around the house with active kids. I've never considered this type of tour but it sounds so interesting.
Even though we stayed in Eixample, I never realised what the word meant! Our hotel was over the road from the Hotel Omm so I popped in there few times, shopped down the road at the fabulous Vincon and checked out the Gaudi buildings but I missed Casa Asia and the fun looking nanimarquina. Looks as though I'll have to go back!
So many cool sights. I like the red sculpture. Weird art gets me every time. Although the display of underwear is almost too weird even for me.
[…] Rauxa Seny Barcelona […]
This was a fabulous walking tour, Cathy! I love Barcelona so reading this post is like savoring a delicious meal. Thanks!
Nice! Lots of interesting design stuff going on in Barcelona – looks like a great exploration!
A visual and textural feast for lovers of textiles and design. I loved the leetle flowers! 🙂
Very nice, Cathy. I did a walking tour with Context as well – on Barcelona's Modernist architecture. They're quite good, aren't they?
Beautiful place…certainly in my agenda of places to visit next year.
Wow, what a great walk! I love those rugs. I think spiral looks like roses that are in bloom and how cool to re-use bicycle tubes.
What great finds! I've been to Barcelona 3 times, but not to most of the places you visited. The amount of architecture/architectural elements in the city is incredible. Love the shot of Casa Milà.
[…] upscale hotels and Moderniste architectural gems exuding the Eixample district's "la rauxa i el seny" design culture. Passeig de Gracia, […]
I used to spend so much time in Barcelona, and now I haven't been in years. I would love to do something like this.
Gosh you make me want to visit Barcelona again. I'd love to check out the nanimarquina next time I'm there. Love the idea of recycled bicycle inner tubes! What a cool rug!
What a great post Cathy! I LOVE Barcelona but have never visited, only seen it from afar. Would love to go and I especially love the textures and colors you've photographed along the way
I still haven't been to Barcelona but oh so want to go – you really saw so much here.

Great tour Sweeney! I've been to Barcelona, but I've never heard that sentence, very interesting 😉
[…] That year proved to be a turning point for me – Barcelona inspired me to a degree I didn't imagine possible. I grew up moving to and adapting to new places, cultures, friends. For the most part, I have always managed to enjoy each and every place I lived in. But what I felt on that first week in Barcelona is difficult to put into words. As I wandered the streets of the Eixample, I understood the meaning of the term "surreal" as never before. Both the medieval and modern parts of the city were at the same time familiar in its recognizable architecture and unique in Catalan craziness. I understood seny and rauxa. […]

Juni 2005
BeschreibungCritical of the Catholic Church's interpretation of the Bible that has become canonized as a true interpretation, this thoroughly researched analysis approaches the original text and hypothesizes who wrote it, when, and how it has survived and transformed over the centuries. The book additionally argues that textual evidence exists in the Bible for several historical details that directly contradict Catholic belief, such as: Jesus was crucified at 40 years of age rather than 33; he did not spend three days in a tomb; and he had at least seven biological brothers and sisters.

Young girl reunites with her cat after three years
If you've got a pet, you'll know how quickly they become one of the family. They curl up on the sofa next to you, are the first to welcome you home and sleep next to you in bed. And more often than not, we call our pet our best friend.
This couldn't be truer for young Claudia, from Canada, who reunited with her lost cat after three years. Claudia's mother had taken her to a rescue home to see all the pets that had been found by the organization. When asked what her favorite cat looked like, Claudia described her old cat that had gone missing.
Unexpectedly a woman appeared with an identical calico cat that once answered to the name Cursor. Claudia couldn't believe her eyes when she realized that it was her cat that had been missing for three years (although Claudia believed it was only 8 months). The young girl clapped and took in a large intake of breath to show just how surprised she was, 'I missed you so much!' she cried, utterly overwhelmed. Soon after, she snuggled the cat for a very long time.
Claudia didn't forget to thank the lady who had brought back her little furry friend. 'Thanks for giving my kitty back!'

Alleged state involvement in the Russian doping crisis has been confirmed, according to the WADA Commission report led by Prof. Richard McClaren. As the news unfolds, a system not far removed form the GDR's State Plan 14:25 in some regards is suggested. (This report was written love during the McLaren press conference). At a press…
The Disappearing Positive Methodology spanned all sports. Now it's time for IFs, NOCs and the IOC to act to protect CleanSport and athletes worldwide.
Rio will not be 100% clean, no Olympic Games will likely ever meet that lofty goal, but we can get closer.
How is it Julio whatshisname can say with straight face that there's no doping problem.
Quite. He and the director should resign: both have been leading figures in FINA since the days of the GDR. Asleep at the wheel, as in the article – both should resign or be forced to go. FINA needs urgent, independent review (replacement the only other option).
For Julio and Cornel to have been leading FINA for so long, I'm 99.99999999999% sure that there must be some corruption at the leadership level down to national federations.
Just like what happened at FIFA and IAAF.
Samaranch was lucky he was too old and got out before spotlight was shined onto IOC.
The fallout is likely to be unimaginable. It will be a case of which international sporting federation can emerge anywhere near unscarred rather than how many.
Whilst there is more than a little "look over there" going on, if RUS goes down; its hard to see them not taking an awful lot of federations down with them and, rest assured, many other countries "dirty linen" will be aired.
Barring RUS from Rio ?? Hhmm, sounds easy but legally, they are entitled to due process (like any accused) which is looking unlikely to be resolved in time given the very short time-frame remaining. They MAY choose to withdraw … who knows.
Didn't Julio or Cornel also violate their own pledge to not get (re)elected?
Samaranch was the man who pushed the medals back across the table at two GDR swimmers and said 'keep them, you were not the only ones who doped'… what a warrior for clean sport he was.
Withdrawal may be the only honourable option CW. And if IOC calls for that … and if they refuse … and if CAS puts them in etc… the show may well collapse, boycott a serious possibility I would imagine. Any pools free and ready to go? Hopefully it won't come to that but there's more to come in the story…
Sorry, Craig, but putting aside THIS issue; "the boat sailed" in probably December last year with regards to any other options than go ahead with Rio or cancel.
You still realistically need a 9month notice period to put on an international sporting championship for any major sport so its too late to try looking at "doling out" sports to other cities and in any case, competitors have all worked their preparations around peaking in 3 weeks time.
Yes, CW – but protest (proper kind) doesn't work like that … a world-class swim meet can be arranged in a week if you want it to be. Been done before… don't think it will be so this time but not impossible.
So, the same methods for covering up were also used in Kazan last year along with other events before that: https://youtu.be/uPUELUNaXao?t=13m
Wouldn't that necessitate that all Russian swimmers competing there should have their samples retested to check for tampering, elevated salt content, etc.?
I am a little confused about the bottles and the scratches that indicated tampering. Were these scratches evident with the caps still on? Otherwise, how does the investigating team know that it, itself did not cause the scratches while opening the bottles? Maybe I misunderstood his description of the process, I'm not sure.
Also, I would have thought that without any question that these bottles should not be used again and I was surprised that McLaren did not recommend this.
A swim meet at lower level most certainly; and if a location has been "on notice" ahead of time it can be done but "cold" …. on this short notice its just not viable for something on this scale. We're not just talking venue, we're also needing to sort out accomodation let alone other logistics.
Had there been notice of rescheduling various sports out to various cities spread out over the rest of the year (or at least the next 3 months); then it could've been practicable but that boat has sailed.
It's essentially "can it" (which quite probably would be the sensible option albeit unpleasant for the prospective competitors) or go through with it.
As for boycotts, it may not be as unanimous even across teams as we may think …. we are asking them to go against their own career self interest and for some this is/would be their only shot at the big time or their last . Easy for us to moralise from this distance when WE are not the one's being called upon to make the sacrifice.
Now that we know the Russians had been doping leading up to London, I wonder if the samples of their swimming bronze medalists (Efimova and men 4×100 free) have also been retested?
I understand that samples of winners from athletics and few other sports have been retested, but I've never heard about swimming.
The fourth positions in those two events were:
Pedersen and the Australians.
ASF, with due respect, lets burn that bridge when & if we come to it.
In many ways, I am rather conflicted over some of these cases of re-awarding medals in doping cases. IS justice being served …. arguably yes but in some ways, I'd leave it in the hands of the competitors themselves as to whether they wish to receive whatever medal under these circumstances and respect whatever call they make.
I HAVE, actually, found the greed of a certain NOC more than a little distasteful regarding their headlong rush to grab hold of such medals under these circumstances …. almost as if they're still trying to pump up the medal tally how many years after the event ??
Not recommending it CW; nor asking for boycott. I am thinking of the various things that could happen in the void of uncertainty that will be filled with something in the coming week. If the void is filled with 'all well, Russia, as you were', I would not be surprised to see collateral damage of a different kind.
I highly doubt that there will be any serious consequences for FINA:
1. So far no national swimming federation has openly questioned this corrupt system (here in Germany Christa Thiel, the leader of the Germany Swimming Federation, still claims that swimming is clean, haha)
2. Hardly any high profile clean athlete openly protests against the current FINA system (I wonder why? Maybe they are not so clean at all?)
3. Apart from Rica Reinisch, Petra Schneider and a handful of other GDR doping victims, no swimmer has openly spoken the truth about what is going on if you want to be an Olympic Champion, no matter if it was the 8os, 90s or nowadays. This wall of silence, like an Omerta, makes it very difficult to change the system and FINA.
I wonder what kind of ratings the 'documentary' on how evil WADA was crushing the dreams of innocent Russian athletes got tonight on Russian tv.
It's going to be interesting to see how Vitaly Mutko spins this in coming days. He really is starting to remind me of former Iraqi information minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf (aka. 'Bagdhad Bob' and 'Comical Ali' in western press) who used to give reports on the Iraq-Coalition conflict that were truly impressive in their disassociation with reality.
And now the big day becomes Thursday when CAS rules on the appeal of the Russian track & field suspension for Rio. If they rule for Russia, we might as well declare clean sport dead and issue every athlete their own steroid vials once they hit junior national team levels. If they rule for the IAAF, it's a start and sets precedent for a few other nation level bans currently pending in weightlifting and canoeing.
If they rule for the IAAF, I'm kind of okay with following the IAAF's very narrow middle path that says that all drug tests for the past several years should be considered null and void. So elite international athletes with only RUSADA tests are have not been subject to testing long enough to be allowed to compete in Rio since they effctively haven't been tested at all. However, if an athlete has at least, say, one non-RUSADA out of competition test every calendar quarter for the last 18-24 months, that will be sufficient as an anti-doping record for the athlete. Also no melodium positives in 2016. So a few athletes based elsewhere in Europe or North America would be allowed
You points are reasonable, Markus B, including your reference to Omertà. (I think there have been a few more than Rica and teammates who have spoken up about this – a fair few folk spoke out in protest down the years, on the basis that they were clean and faced those who were not …). Silence, of course, does not always mean guilt. There are clean programs, coaches and elite swimmers working at what they do every day. The federation controlled system is built to ensure that all those people are more likely to remain silent than not … until now. We shall see…
Cate Campbell, who's rarely on social media, wrote this a while ago:
Congrats @JaredTallent. Olympic Champion. Your victory is a victory for all clean athletes & a warning to all drug cheats. #justiceforJared
Jared Tallent originally won silver in London 50 km walk behind Sergey Kirdyapkin. Kirdyapkin sample was retested positive, and Jared Tallent was finally awarded gold this year, almost 4 years after the fact, robbing him of Olympics glory and all the monetary prizes/awards that entailed.
So yes, like CL said, some top swimmers are speaking up, not only Ruta.
Yes, asf. Good to see and much needed – the more who do that, the more will find the courage to do so – and stand together against the dark side, as it were (the rider from history always to pay attention to who stands among the tub-thumpers for clean sport while actually working for the opposite…Kipke style)

Time to be a tourist/
Even though, or maybe because, we are in the midst of building our house, we took an idyllic vacation a couple of weeks ago at my parent's farm in PA. Just being there is inspiring:We spent a lot of time pawing through junk at Renningers' :just doing what the sign says:one favorite $5- find:( I think owning this gives me some real street cred as a knitter...)
We spent an afternoon riding the WK&S excursion train-and they have a snack bar and a souvenir shop, so it was appropriately vacation-y. I wish this kind of travel was still a reality: I really wanted to steal the stool used to get in and out of the train cars:And in case you were thinking about needing to spit in this dreamy train car:don't even think about it:We also toured the Gruber Wagon Works near Reading, there were so many cool old tools and ingenuity in evidence-check out these drawers made from paint cans:I wonder if it is too late to tuck a little office like this in the house we are building:Oh, and I want a shelf of tacks and nails like this in our shed:And now, back to reality:This is where we are at on the foundation for the house we are building! We've hired guys to do the excavation and lay the block. So, other than clearing brush this spring, painting on that black waterproofing goop was the first real work I've done on it. That big white tower is 2 inch foam to go inside the block walls, under our cement slab floor. The gravel goes in too-that pile is 25 tons-altogether we need 75 tons. The dirt pile will be used to backfill after the drains are in. Hmm, doesn't look like much, but things are happening. We will be hammering nails soon!

Microsoft tied to probe
Wed., March 20, 2013, midnight
Partnerships are focus of bribery investigation
REDMOND – Microsoft is entangled in a U.S. government investigation into whether the software maker and some of its business partners resorted to bribery to close deals in China, Romania and Italy, according to a report published Tuesday.
Citing anonymous people familiar with the matter, the Wall Street Journal said the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission are examining whether kickbacks were paid to foreign officials to help close sale of software. The probe's targets include resellers of Microsoft software, company consultants and Microsoft's own employees outside the U.S., according to the Journal.
The newspaper emphasized that the inquiry remains in an early stage and there have been no accusations of wrongdoing.
In a blog post, Microsoft lawyer John Frank said the issues raised in the Journal's story are important enough to merit a review by the Redmond, Wash., company and the federal government.
"We take all allegations brought to our attention seriously, and we cooperate fully in any government inquiries," wrote Frank, Microsoft's deputy general counsel. "Like other large companies with operations around the world, we sometimes receive allegations about potential misconduct by employees or business partners, and we investigate them fully, regardless of the source."
Both the Justice Department and the SEC declined to comment.
The reported investigation poses another potential legal headache for Microsoft, which has been sparring with government regulators in the U.S. and Europe for the past two decades.
Most of the regulatory battles have been over whether Microsoft abused its position as the leading maker of personal computer software to thwart competition. Microsoft suffered its latest setback in that regulatory arena earlier this month when European regulators fined the company $733 million. Microsoft violated an agreement to provide users of PCs running on its Windows operating system with an alternative to its Internet Explorer Web browser.
The investigation cited by the Journal revolves around the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a 36-year-old law that forbids U.S. companies from bribing foreign officials to close deals.

One at a time hit the enter key after each ping see attached
ha sorry. thx for staying patient.
Not a problem. I see you are dropping some packets, which is not good. Open IE8 and type 220.127.116.11 into the address bar and hit enter. Let me know what happens. Also post another ipconfig /all for your wireless adapter.
Drew: Yes, you are correct. The IP address of his router is 192.168.2.1 I suspect that it may be having a problem forwarding and properly resolving DNS queries so I suggested that he use the IP address of google in a web browser to see if that was in fact what is happening. He may ultimately have to resort to a firmware update on the router, which I believe he will have to do from within the router interface itself, since I couldn't find anything on Belkins site to download a firmware update, but there is an option within the router interface to search for a firmware upgrade.
didnt really do anything when i typed into the address bar. so i just snipped it onto the pic as well.
That's not the address bar....that's the google search bar. The one above that is actually the address bar
i did type it up there. got same result. i actually just tried both since it didnt work. and posted wrong one
Please click start and type ncpa.cpl and hit enter. In the resultant window right click on the Local area connection and choose disable. Right click on wireless network connection and choose properties. Uncheck IPv6 and then select IPv4 and click the properties button on the resultant window near the bottom choose the button that says use the following DNS servers and in the preferred box type 184.108.40.206 and in the alternate box type 22.214.171.124 reboot and try again.
still no internet. did u want me to click the 'validate setting before exit" button first? and heres another pic of everything.
No that shouldn't be necessary. I suppose we've come to the point where you may very well have to perform a firmware update on the router so... Go here Belkin : Support : F5D7231-4 Wireless G Plus Router - Firmware Update and download the firmware update Version 1xxx Firmware version 4.07.07, OS compatibility: Any, size 1.92MB. Then go here and make sure you follow the directions on this page very carefully Belkin : Support : Upgrading the router's firmware make sure you do not attempt a firmware upgrade from a computer that is connect wirelessly, you need to have the computer connected to the router with a wire.
i suppose i wouldnt want to start trying this when another friend is using the router at the moment? i should wait until he is done using it to start updating it. if not leme know and ill start right now. if so, thx for your help and ill let u know how it goes in a few hours.
ok i updated it, and it when all the way to update firmware successful. then it started the one minute timer. when it got to 30 secs it just stopped counting down. and went to the main router menu. i figured that it was still sucessful but still dont have internet on my emachine...
Drew is correct, perhaps Belkin can provide some custom settings that you may be able to apply to the router that might help you. I can only say, that according to this Windows 7 Compatibility Belkin Belkin 802.11g G+ Wireless Router your router is compatible with Windows 7 32 and 64 bit and according to this, if you installed the update which you said you had Windows 7 Compatibility Netgear Netgear RangeMax USB 2.0 802.11b/g Wireless Network Adapter your wireless adapter is compatible with Windows 7 32 and 64 bit. Not sure at this point what exactly is causing your issue but if Belkin can be of any help, please post back and let us know what the resolution was. EDIT: It has also been noted both here and in other forums that Windows 7, sometimes has problems with third party software controlling wireless adapters and evidently prefers to have total control, so as a last ditch effort you might consider going into control panel, programs and features and uninstall the software utility that the D-Link wireless adapter is using and see if windows 7 does a better job of handling the adapter on its' own. Just a final thought.
talked to both linksys and belkin, linksys did just about everything we went through and told me to also call belkin. Belkin also had me do things that we already tried and said that it wasnt the router, that it is compativble with windows 7, and that i should delete internet explorer and reinstall it. and i see what u said trouble about uninstalling the software utility, but that still wouldnt explain why i cant hook up with wires to the router.
Very true, that wouldn't explain that at all, but we actually didn't spend much if any time trying to resolve the issue with the wired connection, and since I understood that it was a big pain to relocate the computer near enough to the router to pursue it, I did't continue along that road, but if you want to give that a try. Then I would be more then happy to give it a shot, so let me know. First thing to do, is disable the wireless, and re-enable the local area connection, and provide some specifics on the actual manufacturer, model name and number and any version information on the wired adapter. Make sure you disable IPv6 and set the IP to auto config everything and we'll give it a go if you want.
just a thought but can you tell us what antivirus you are using and anything else involved with security on your PC ?
ok so i disbaled wireless and enabled local area connection. not sure what info u need other than the router information. i just have an ethernet cable running straight from the router to the back of my pc. and i disbaled ipv6. also dont remember how to set the ip to auto config. -no security on it yet, just bought the pc this week, and havent had internet on it yet so saw no need to put any antivirus on it til i had access to the web. so w.e security comes with a desktop with windows 7. looked like some handy info to have haha
I would be interested in your answer to icymay's question above any type of third party software like firewalls or internet security suites. Temporarily uninstall them, you can always reinstall them later, even the windows 7 firewall, turn it off for testing for now. In the mean time I will check for some updated drivers if any for you NIC

Willy Adkins Model
Deviant Desires PhotoPhotographer Male DeKalb, Illinois, US
My Website: DeviantDesiresPhoto.comMy MM URL: http://www.modelmayhem.com/deviantdesiresphoto
Mayhem # 9988
About Me
My name is Willy Adkins, and I have been involved in the art of photography since 1996. I am best known for my dark art photos and for pushing the edge of controversy to create images with shock value and bold appeal. This does not however, mean that I will not take innocent, soft and sweet images! Outside of photography, I am the President of Breaking Fate Entertainment Inc. (which you can read more about below).
NOTE: I'm moving back to Northern Illinois / Chicago / Dekalb in August 2016.
I will be seeking 2 or 3 models in the area to work with me regularly as my "go-to-models" when creative ideas strike me. If interested in being one of my go to models, drop me a private message telling me about you and what types of art you enjoy. More so then experience, ideal candidates would be very open-minded to ideas and more liberal in regards to content (including nudity).
Outside of my "go-to-models", I've been a paid photographer for several years. I do not consider myself a "fashion photographer", I consider myself an "art photographer" and models pay to be the subject of my art for use in their portfolio's. I only pay models when I have a commercial advertiser who wants to pay me to create an ad, in which case I always will book and pay a model I have worked with and had a good report with. I am not in this to see nude women, not in this to date models and have no need/reason/huge bank account to pay a model to be the subject of my art. I do offer very limited TFP shoots for models who come to me with a great idea to execute together (if you have one to pitch, message me). With all of that said, I do have very reasonable rates.
Outside of photography, I'm the President of Breaking Fate Entertainment. BFE is dedicated to building and promoting the independent arts in all genres and media types. This includes Film, Photo, Radio, Records, Comedians, Entertainers, Fine Arts, TV, Book Publishing and more! Below are a list of various departments currently active at BFE.
Breaking Fate Films - Independent film production & distribution. Also includes 6 major film festival events annually that screen independent film and provide awards for outstanding works. www.breakingfate.com
Breaking Fate TV - All independent TV network (much like Netflix or HuluPlus) providing an opportunity for filmmakers to get their films seen and make a return on invested monies. www.breakingfatetv.com
Breaking Fate Radio - An online radio network currently playing a 24 rotation of independent music in all genres. Future plans for the network will include independently produced radio shows. www.breakingfateradio.com
Breaking Fate Girls - A group of models dedicated to promoting the independent arts as spokesmodels. www.breakingfategirls.com
Breaking Fate Publishing - A publishing company dedicated to putting the works of independent writers in print both online and hard copy books. www.breakingfatepublishing
Breaking Fate Records - An all record label featuring all independent music, comedians, soundtracks, audio books and more. www.breakingfaterecords.com
Breaking Fate Magazine - An independent magazine publication dedicated to promotion of the independent arts via online news stories and occasional print magazine publications. www.breakingfatemag.com
I am currently looking for models for a couple new photo series. I am offering TFP to models interested in helping me get these series together. These works are very likely to be displayed in future art gallery showings. Message me with any questions / interest.
Projected Image Series - (images projected on a model) this is an idea that has been used before several times that I have not yet tried. I have experimented with editing some images of this nature, and have created some AMAZING effects with it unlike others I've ever seen... And now I have the desire to put together a series out of it as well. This series also requires nudity. I have just found access to a projector, and have recently started on this one. To see and example or express interest contact me.
Black Light Series - I have been working on this series for a couple year now. It breaks down pretty simple. I am doing photos in blacklight with glow in the dark body paint. This effect has proven to be quite amazing! And I want to create a large portfolio of such work. I have worked with several models on this project, but I'm still seeking more. I want to have around 40 individual models pose creating enough images to fill a gallery display of 120 pieces. This series does require full nudity (just so your aware). Contact me if interested in taking part in this series!
Crime Scene Series - I have MANY ideas for this series and I'm very anxious to get it going. These will be very graphic images of crime scenes that look very realistic. Most are clothed, however some of the ideas do involve nudity. Models must be okay with FX make up (Blood / gore). I hope to display the best images from this series in galleries and publish a possible coffee table book. Contact me if interested in taking part in this series!
Thank you for taking the time to check out my ModelMayhem.com page! I remember when this site was new (I'm #9988!) and have made many great contacts here over the years. I'm also a Director / Actor / Producer and use to model as well. Take a peek at my personal website, Facebook fan page and IMDb listing to learn more:

Curtis Williams ft. Wiz Khalifa & Jace - Shenanigans
Artist: Curtis Williams
Track: Shenanigans
Feat. Wiz Khalifa
Producer: Metro Boomin
Album: Danco EP
Earlier this month, Booth readers turned up their noses at Curtis Williams's Drip, an ode to white girls of the figurative and literal varieties. He hasn't let a little negative feedback discourage him, though. Today, he's back to his usual Shenanigans on a new single off his next EP. Over some leisurely street boardwork by Metro Boomin, the Atlanta repper member does some lyrical stunting in a driving triplet flow. Two-9 crewmate Jace contributes a similarly boisterous guest 16, and Taylor Gang capo Wiz Khalifa provides a blunted guest hook. Feeling it? Then be sure to cop Williams's Danco EP when it drops digitally this Friday, August 29.

They don't like to talk about it, but a decade prior to Born Slippy, Underworld were an awful AOR synth-rock band. For reasons unfathomable, Dirty Vegas are making that creative journey in reverse. Their first album was inoffensive Underworld lite, so freeway-friendly that Mitsubishi licensed it for an advert which propelled them into the US Top 40. But One, to continue the motoring theme, is the musical equivalent of a four-lane pile-up.
At best, it suggests Duran Duran indulging their U2 fantasies. At worst, the brain scrabbles for comparisons. The post-millennial Bruce Hornsby? Mike & The Mechanics go to Ibiza? Frontman Steve Smith delivers lyrics that he presumably made up on the spot ("Lately I've been feeling different/Like I've come from outer space") in the voice of a man who rolls up the sleeves of his sport jacket. One's sole redeeming feature is that its title helpfully informs reviewers how many stars to give it.

Had a surprise 51st birthday party at their Parkville location and everything was excellent. The crab cakes were awesome and the service was outstanding.

Our team at Bill Bateman's Bistro welcomes you back the next time you are craving a delicious dish that is prepared to your liking! Thanks again and take care. More
After wanting to try Bateman's we decided a rainy night would be perfect for us and the gang to relax, have some drinks and some decent bar food. First of all let me say , the young waitress did everything possible to make our visit pleasant. Too bad the restaurant did not help her. I'll keep things quite simple... The... More
I was not expecting anything special, just palatable. However, this was not to be. I ordered the Fish & Chips; can't go wrong - right? It arrived looking very strange and different from any other fried fish I've ever seen. The batter had an unusual dark crust that resembled baked plaster. After one bite, I could go no further. Along... More
Went there primarily for their appetizer chicken bites with a bourbon glaze. They were their one elevated dish. My husband and I would sometimes order two or three orders. I can still taste the crunchy sweet and sour bites in my memory (sigh). The last time I was there I got sliders. When I picked up one, the bun seemed... More
We went on a Saturday evening. Not too crowded. I used to go to another one and loved it, but the food here was just OK and the waitress was disinterested.
Went to the Bistro in Perry Hall for all you can eat wings and found that they were closed. We really like there wings so we went to their Parkville location. The service was terrible, it took a while to be served, and when we asked for drink refills and more wings NOTHING HAPPENED. We asked to speak to the... More
As we lived just about right next to the original Bateman's (old Cub Hill Inn) we have been going to their establishments for quite some time. Over the past few years it seems like the food has gotten blander, and while the wait staff is generally attentive, the wait for food seems excessive and there are too many mistakes with... More

Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP)
Definition - What does Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) mean?
Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) is a transport layer protocol used to reserve network resources and enable running Internet applications to gain quality of service (QoS). Some old networks were required to provide reliability of data. However, in today's era of network systems, time is often more important than reliability. Instead, RSVP is supported by a QoS network, providing both the quality of service and insured data.
Techopedia explains Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP)
RSVP is used for data flow and provides QoS to all its network agents/devices. By using RSVP, a client may request quality of service from a network for data flow. Network devices like routers us RSVP to provide information to all the nodes on a network. As RSVP is not a routing protocol, it gains the data path and routing information from neighboring routers. Applications on a network send requests for QoS. Then routers on the network provide the requested information. RSVP keeps all the records of information being exchanged. RSVP is also used to maintain and transport traffic and policy control issues.
