LC and I went to see this on Tuesday in glorious two-dee. It was a lot of fun.
The film is one part an affectionate parody of a Roger Moore-era James Bond film, and one part a standalone spy film. It features Colin Firth as the gentleman spy "Galahad" (or Harry) versus Samuel L. Jackson as the criminal genius Valentine Richmond. Plus Mark Hamill making a rare screen appearance, Michael Caine as "Arthur", and a bunch of other people (obviously).
It was an awful lot of fun, provided you don't try and take it too seriously. Anyway, I very much enjoyed it.

Marriage is a gift of God by which men and women are established in community with one another for their own nourishment, and for the nourishment of their families. It is God's will that the relationship of marriage reflect the depth of love which Christ has for the church. Therefore God promises to bless, comfort and sustain those who seek him in their marriage.
The church announces God's promise in a liturgy which begins marriage, in which a man and a woman commit themselves to one another with life-long promises by which they bind themselves to each other as husband and wife. And in this service the church prays that God will be present to bless the marriages of Christian people, and promises its love, prayer and support.
The staff of Faith Church rejoices with you as you plan for your coming wedding. We look forward to celebrating this happy day with you and we pray that God will bless you as you plan for it.
The pastor is available to discuss your wedding plans and requirements for marriage in the Lutheran tradition.

Should I Run PPC for My Own Company Name?
When we run paid advertising campaigns for our clients we make sure we bid on their own company name by default. In fact some of the biggest brands bid on their own name even though they are already well established household brands. Ford, Amazon, Round Table Pizza all are willing to pay for the privilege of showing up for their own company name.

Concomitant confluent and reticulated papillomatosis (CRP) and acanthosis nigricans (AN) is rare. We present a case of concomitant CRP and obesity-associated AN in a 12-year-old obese Japanese girl. Curiously, oral minocycline therapy, which has been shown to be effective for CRP, was effective against both CRP and AN. Possible mechanisms by which minocycline could have improved skin lesions of CRP and obesity-associated AN are discussed. In addition, reports of concomitant CRP and obesity-associated AN are reviewed. CRP and obesity-associated AN share common clinicopathological features and some reports have described concomitant CRP and obesity-associated AN. Together with the observation that skin lesions of CRP and obesity-associated AN in the present case responded to oral minocycline therapy, these facts suggest a tight relationship or a common pathogenetic pathway between these pathologies. © 2017 Japanese Dermatological Association.

Base stealing is an important tactic for increasing the chance of scoring in baseball. This study aimed to compare the crossover step (CS) and jab step (JS) starts for base stealing start performance and to clarify the differences between CS and JS starts in terms of three-dimensional lower extremity joint kinetics. Twelve male baseball players performed CS and JS starts, during which their motion and the force they applied to the ground were simultaneously recorded using a motion-capture system and two force platforms. The results showed that the normalised average forward external power, the average forward–backward force exerted by the left leg, and the forward velocities of the whole body centre of gravity generated by both legs and the left leg were significantly higher for the JS start than for the CS start. Moreover, the positive work done by hip extension during the left leg push-off was two-times greater for the JS start than the CS start. In conclusion, this study has demonstrated that the jab step start may be the better technique for a base stealing start and that greater positive work produced by left hip extension is probably responsible for producing its larger forward ground reaction force. © 2017 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group

Discriminative training has received a lot of attention from both the machine learning and speech recognition communities. The idea behind the discriminative approach is to construct a model that distinguishes correct samples from incorrect samples, while the conventional generative approach estimates the distributions of correct samples. We propose a novel discriminative training method and apply it to a language model for reranking speech recognition hypotheses. Our proposed method has round-robin duel discrimination (R2D2) criteria in which all the pairs of sentence hypotheses including pairs of incorrect sentences are distinguished from each other, taking their error rate into account. Since the objective function is convex, the global optimum can be found through a normal parameter estimation method such as the quasi-Newton method. Furthermore, the proposed method is an expansion of the global conditional log-linear model whose objective function corresponds to the conditional random fields. Our experimental results show that R2D2 outperforms conventional methods in many situations, including different languages, different feature constructions and different difficulties. © 2011 IEEE.

Objective: To examine the hypothesis that disability prevalence has increased to a greater degree in the areas severely affected by the earthquake and tsunami of 11 March 2011 than in other areas. Methods: Longitudinal analysis using public statistics data from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in Japan. The analysis included 1549 municipalities covered by the Long-term Care Insurance (LTCI) system. 'Disaster areas' were defined as three prefectures (Iwate, Miyagi, Fukushima). The outcome measure was the number of aged people (≥65 years) with LTCI disability certification. Rates of change in disability prevalence from February 2011 to February 2012 were used as the primary outcome variable, and were compared by analysis of covariance between 'Coastal disaster areas', 'Inland disaster areas' and 'Non-disaster areas'. Results: Regarding disability prevalence at all levels, the mean value of the increase rate in Coastal disaster areas (7.1%) was higher than in Inland disaster areas (3.7%) and Non-disaster areas (2.8%) (p<0.001). Conclusions: The areas that were severely affected by the earthquake and tsunami had a significantly higher increase in disability prevalence during the 1 year after the earthquake disaster than other areas.

In this paper we obtain approximate solutions to the Cluster Variation free energy by carrying out a cluster expansion of the probabilities appearing in the free energy functional in terms of concentration-dependent basis functions, and by truncating the expansion at different cluster levels prior to minimization. We show that a significant improvement over the Bragg-Williams approximation can be achieved by truncating the expansion of the cluster probabilities at relatively small clusters, thus dramatically reducing the number of equations that need to be solved in order to minimize the free energy. Furthermore, the free energy functional in the Cluster Variation Method offers a well-controlled case study to infer the effects of truncating the expansion of the energy of alloy formation in the commonly used Cluster Expansion method, versus the effects of truncating the expansion when using a concentration-dependent basis. Examples of the approach are given for simple Ising models for fcc- and bcc-based prototype alloy systems. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.

This work focused on the synthesis of high-activity strontium titanate (SrTiO3) photocatalysts through an environmentally friendly process. A high energy-efficient microwave-assisted hydrothermal method was employed to prepare Fe-loaded SrTiO3 that consisted of small particles around 50 nm in diameter. To achieve the effective assistance of long-lasting fluorescence, the obtained Fe-loaded SrTiO3 samples were coupled with CaAl2O4:(Eu, Nd). The photocatalytic activities were evaluated by the photo-decomposition of NO. Fe loaded SrTiO3 showed high photocatalytic activities not only under visible light irradiation but also in the dark with fluorescence assistance. © 2013 The American Ceramic Society.

The systematic experiments of photocatalytic degradation of NO gas were carried out by using novel composites containing TiO2-xNy loaded on a long afterglow phosphor, CaAl2O4:(Eu,Nd). The composites were prepared in a sequence of procedures, which involved reactions of TiCl3 and hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) mixed solution at 190°C for 2h to precipitate nano-size TiO2-xNy particles, followed by mixing the TiO2-xNy with a micro-size CaAl2O4:(Eu,Nd) particles by a soft planetary ball milling to yield CaAl2O4:(Eu,Nd)/TiO2-xNy composites. Photocatalytic degradation of NO was monitored both under UV light irradiation and in the dark after turning off the light. The composite displayed excellent photocatalytic activity under UV-light irradiation as well as persistent activity after turning off light. A promising strategy involves coupling of visible light responsive photocatalyst with long afterglow phosphor was established. It is a new concept for the photocatalyst synthesis implying a possibility of a novel persistent active photocatalytic system. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

We identified the neurons comprising the Drosophila mushroom body (MB), an associative center in invertebrate brains, and provide a comprehensive map describing their potential connections. Each of the 21 MB output neuron (MBON) types elaborates segregated dendritic arbors along the parallel axons of ∼2000 Kenyon cells, forming 15 compartments that collectively tile the MB lobes. MBON axons project to five discrete neuropils outside of the MB and three MBON types form a feedforward network in the lobes. Each of the 20 dopaminergic neuron (DAN) types projects axons to one, or at most two, of the MBON compartments. Convergence of DAN axons on compartmentalized Kenyon cell-MBON synapses creates a highly ordered unit that can support learning to impose valence on sensory representations. The elucidation of the complement of neurons of the MB provides a comprehensive anatomical substrate from which one can infer a functional logic of associative olfactory learning and memory.

Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research | Year: 2016
Background: The classification of alcohol use disorder has changed over the past century. Now, the conceptualization of alcohol dependence is still controversial. Accumulating evidence has shown the reliability and validity for the diagnosis of alcohol dependence in the ICD-10 and DSM-IV. However, the meaning and association of the respective diagnostic items, which are descriptive of representative symptoms, have hardly been examined. The core symptom of substance use disorder has been debated in various situations, but has never been elucidated logically. Methods: We consecutively registered 192 patients with alcohol-related problems who visited our hospital for the first time during a certain period. The relations and principal components among the checked items of the ICD-10 diagnostic criteria were examined statistically. Results: Three diagnostic items in the ICD-10 were strongly correlated with each other and were thought to form the core symptoms of alcohol dependence: "strong desire," "difficulties in controlling," and "neglect of pleasures." One major physical phenomenon, "withdrawal," seemed to complement the core symptoms in the diagnosis of alcohol dependence. Another physical phenomenon, "tolerance," was demonstrated to be a relatively independent item. The principal component analysis also demonstrated that the diagnostic item "difficulties in controlling" had the maximum component loading value, followed by 2 items, "neglect of pleasures" and "strong desire." Conclusions: The core symptomatic elements in the diagnosis of alcohol dependence were statistically suggested in this study. Knowledge of the relations and components among the diagnostic items of alcohol dependence might also be applicable to other forms of substance use dependence and behavioral addiction. © 2016 Research Society on Alcoholism.

Day Viii International Conclave Of Golden Dawn Adepti
The Unlikely Decode Arrives ">Double Rainbow in the Mojave Leave
In the opposite direction in the Mojave abscond, rain is a powerful commodity. In this day and age, as outside order initiates were in the end allowed to tad with the Adepti here at the International business Discussion group, we had manager mizzle that we produce had all time. This is, of course, a very timely sign. If you produce never discerning it, the cologne of the abscond last a rain brouhaha is a marvelous anoint not hurriedly onwards.
Yesterday, we enjoyed our definitive day with lonesome Golden Inception Adepti from all but the world, intake the entire day working new magic from the Inner recesses Chiefs together caged the Somersault of the Adepti. For inhabitants unspecified with the Somersault, it is a fantastic magical safe place unlike what on earth else in the world. A key feature of the new magick for the Vital Decode from the Inner recesses Chiefs is new magick for caged of the Somersault.
In this day and age, it was a bit of a bearing for all of us like the H.O.G.D. outside order initiates began to state. Our universal get-together of Adepti from England, Ireland, France, Germany, Holland, Sweden, Italy and the USA had manufacturing in vogue a effusive and unite group. We stepped up to the title today bit, to help our younger brothers and sisters in the Golden Inception, dole out them to appeal their skills in Ritual Magick in an afternoon speak.
The outside order Initiates undoubtedly deserved this, as some of them flew from as far improbable as New York closely to be here with the Adepti for the Equinox state-owned and the official opening tomorrow of the Isis-Hathor mother temple of the Unquestionable Decode of the Golden Inception and the Rosicrucian Decode of Alpha et Omega. Along with the hold spellbound of the outside order, we were standing room lonesome at feast once more tonight.
I am disposed to see such a effusive opinion from place and vex Golden Inception members who, fed up with bother in our G.D. community, produce come to honor the Equinox together with their brothers and sisters from the Alpha et Omega.
May this be the origin of a new juncture of unique fraternal unanimity in our community.

Ditto clipboard manager – get your free bang of productivity NOW
If you copypaste a lot (and if you read this blog, you probably do) – then you won't regret starting to use a clipboard manager. I use it daily now, several times a day. I've used it to write this post. I count on my clipboard now more than ever, and it's like having a giant, searchable, saved-to-disk, copy of all the 'copys' I had in weeks. It remembers images, not only text. It has got shortcuts, for those times you need to paste 3 things in different places. And it's just been a good friend in the past 3 years I've used it. Every time I fire Ditto up (Ctrl+` has actually become a fun key combination 😉 ), and start going through my past 'copys' – I feel like I've just saved so much valuable time.
A couple of days ago I met a couple of friends that worked with me. They all agreed it was the most useful recommendation I ever gave them. It was such a funny conversation. What tool can make you appreciate it so much??? It's better than a guitar! They all recommend it to everyone they work with… Hell, we loved it so much at the time, that we even opened a Facebook group for it 🙂 – http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=51343612903.
Funny how things turn up 🙂
I went the extra mile to write this post, and you read it so far, so do yourself a favor and at least give it a try 🙂
Free, open-source, fun. I don't get a dime for this. Just your future self thanking me till the end of time.
Might not the best one out there – but the best one I've found. And it's awesome.
2 Responses to "Ditto clipboard manager – get your free bang of productivity NOW"
How the hell do you get this working as a network clipboard which is all I require, many many menus for such a basic use. what the heck is the 'Eent To' option for, I thought that if I highlighted the clip on on computer 'right click' then select 'Send To' might be sensible but it has no submenus. I read that this is a very well thought of program but I'm beat, an ideas on a program that is simple/obvious to use to get a clipboard across network ( local LAN ).

Easy Taco Pie
READY IN: 55mins
Recipe by DDW7976
I've been making this Taco Pie for several years and it looks a bit different than the others here at zaar so thought I would post it. It comes from a '98 Quick Cooking.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄2 lbs ground beef
- 1 envelope taco seasoning
- 1⁄2 cup water
- 1 (2 1/4 ounce) can sliced ripe olives, drained
- 2 cups crushed corn chips, divided (measure after crushing)
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Additional toppings
- shredded lettuce or tomatoes or salsa or jalapeno, etc. (optional)
Directions See How It's Made
- Note: Any corn chip works great except Doritos- they taste great in the pie but the chips on top of the pie start to burn-must be the"cheese".
- Brown ground beef and drain.
- Stir in taco seasoning, water and olives.
- Simmer, uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of corn chips into pie shell.
- Top with meat mixture.

"Carl is the champion you want in your corner when the circumstances of life force you to come out fighting. I have not only gained a powerful ally in my legal issues, but I have also gained a good friend. I can depend upon Carl not only now, but always."
Heather G.
Indianapolis, IN
"I was put in an unfortunate position to have to seek legal advice. I went to Mr. Brizzi and he was able to help with this situation but also helped me understand the laws in Indiana. He hand held me through the process and explained what he was going to do (and he did it) and we went through several different plans of action to determine what would work best for my situation. Mr. Brizzi and his staff were able to give me the much needed peace of mind and turnkey help I needed to handle legal issues swiftly and appropriately. I believe hiring Carl Brizzi and Brizzi and Associates saved me time, grief and stress dealing with legal issues and I would recommend them to family, colleagues, clients and friends."

The workmanship was to a very high standard and the work was completed when it was supposed to.
The workman used were always very professional and cleaned up after themselves each day.
The finished result looks great and we are very happy with it."
- Onslow Village Guildford.
"After looking at the alternatives, we decided not to move, but to extend our semi in OnslowRead more
After discussing with an architect, to transform our house to the family home we wanted, we would need to build a porch at the front, a loft conversion at the top, extend with both double storey and single storey out the back, and convert part of the garage to a utility room. While we were there, and so as not to have to revisit any building work, the ground floor needed digging up to cure a damp problem and the roof needed a refresh, and a patio please, all within a conservation area!
No small task, in fact a very daunting task for us. Chris Spicer was our chosen project manager having been recommended to us, and given the beautiful end result I would go on to recommend him to others.
Its no easy process watching you house taken apart and being rebuilt and despite the huge amount of work, the huge number of trades required, the result is outstanding and I always felt it was in safe hands with Chris watching over and managing the very many trades. Yes requirements changed, some hasty decisions where needed, there were a few shocks on the way, but Chris managed these, kept us informed of progress and delivered on agreed timescales.
At the time of writing this, some 3 months after completion I am extremely pleased with every aspect of the work carried out."
- Guildford.
"We used Elstead this year for our extension as well as some work in the main body of our house. They were brilliant throughout the whole process...Read more
From the thoroughness in inspecting the site initially right through to final details and finish both inside and out
The extension looks like it has always been part of the house and we have had numerous compliments from visitors about how good it all looks. Chris and Pete's team of tradesmen were without exception polite, cheerful and hardworking, and everyone worked well round us including making life as easy as possible for our cats! Chris also coordinated our new driveway and makeover in the front garden and once again we are delighted with the result. We wouldn't hesitate to use Elstead again in the future and would highly recommend them."
The Clarkes
- Onslow Village Guildford.
"While planning our extension, we had watched enough building / makeover TV to know that it can become a nightmare with the wrong building company involved...Read more
Chris was recommended to us and we are very pleased that we used him, the price and a realistic estimate of how long it would take were agreed at the start with contracts signed and both only increased as we asked for extra things to be done as we went along.
The scale of our work was significant – increasing the size of our house by more than a third with a considerable amount of reconfiguring of room layouts inside, including a new kitchen and bathroom and a large amount of hard landscaping outside. The quality of the work was high and the different tradesmen were all polite and helpful - which was important to us with our young children around.
Any building project has to be well managed, and Chris excelled at that. When problems arose he was there to sort them out. When we had questions he was quick to answer them and gave good suggestions and advice. As things arise along the way, you want someone running things who you can trust and who isn't selling you a line so they can cut corners or increase the price having quoted low at the start. We have recommended Chris to others who were equally pleased and we would use him again ourselves."

Chris Spicer was Project Manager for the work and oversaw the whole project. Pete Spicer was responsible for much of the foundations, brick work, landscaping and finishing off. We were very impressed with the level of organisation, the quality of the build and the project was completed on time ( in a realistic timeframe) and within the original quote. The quality of the external finish and the way it blends into our 1920s house has attracted positive comments from those who have passed by. We would certainly recommend Chris and Pete Spicer's work."

"As a former Project Manager on major buildings in London including Canary Wharf and the listed Grade 1 National Portrait Gallery I was apprehensive when we decided to extend the front of...Read more
...our house using a local building company.
Chris Spicer was able to convince us that he had the expertise to undertake the work which included inserting steelwork to support the upper floor using steel supports and screw jacks and he had access to a team of tradesmen that could undertake all the skills needed for the job.
We were given a detailed breakdown of the scope and cost of the work, together with a detailed programme showing the sequence of how each trade would attend and do their particular tasks.
Most significantly the original works were completed to programme and to the agreed budget and we had sufficient confidence in Chris's team to include additional work which was completed to our satisfaction.
Throughout all the stages of construction a high standard of skill was apparent especially in matching new brickwork with the original resulting in an extension that meets all our high expectations.
Elstead are a local company drawing on local skilled tradesmen all of whom work with Chris on a regular basis working in an atmosphere of mutual regard.
In a building context Chris can be likened to a conductor of a new experimental work, your project, , calling on successive artists to perform to time resulting in an overall composition that leaves the audience pleased with the whole performance.
I would be pleased to discuss our experience with anyone considering using Elstead Building Company."
Mr Charlie Matthews

Chris was excellent, well organised professional and any niggles dealt with quickly and without fuss. He even noticed an error on the plans in time for us to be able to correct it without there being any interruption or delay. The end result... (our extension) well one friend asked, which bit the extension was! Such was the attention to detail and matching in of materials.
When you find a builder that is reliable efficient honest and competitive and a pleasure to work with it is a rare treat."
Mr Steve Gandy
"Chris Spicer was the project manager when we hired to build an extension to our house. The extension was quite significant, involving the construction of a 2 room annexe with ensuite...Read more
a utility room, an office, a master bedroom suite and a double car garage, remodelling the kitchen, converting an existing bedroom into a bathroom, knocking down a load bearing wall to combine two existing rooms, remodelling a powder room, adding a French door to the back garden, and enlarging a door to our conservatory. We subsequently hired Chris to redecorate the downstairs rooms of the existing house and the external woodwork.
We were very satisfied with the work. Chris was an able project manager. We particularly appreciated how he kept us informed of next steps; he gave us plenty of advance notice when we needed to make decisions regarding, paint colours, tiles, appliances, etc. He gave us an accurate and realistic timetable for completion of the work, which was indeed completed on time and within budget, with agreed add-ons. Chris's team also detected an error in the architect's plans due to a miscalculation that required a rapid, over the weekend redraft of the plans which Chris handled directly with the architect. This was particularly important as the early detection enabled the work to continue as scheduled. Chris also gave us good advice, suggesting additional work which proved to be spot on, and advising where we could save money. He took responsibility for his crew, proactively reporting to me and repairing without charge inadvertent and minor damage caused by a crew member.
We found the work team courteous, pleasant, professional and with obvious expertise and experience in all aspects of the work. Chris recommended a carpenter for some cabinetry work, which was very well done. He coordinated timing with the kitchen subcontractor in a seamless fashion, completing all preparatory work on time. We were so confident of the work that my wife and I left on holiday just after the kitchen work commenced and returned a week later with everything completely finished to our satisfaction.
We so appreciated the care, pride and attention to detail that Chris's team displayed, that we celebrated with the team the completion of the work with a barbecue.
At the inspection of the work a year later to release the holdback, the architect was hard-pressed to find anything but a few cracks to repair.
I have no hesitation in heartily recommending Chris Spicer and Elstead Building Company."
Mr Jon Lowton Stoughton
- Guildford.
"Chris Spicer, project managed a small, single story, extension to the side of my house which enlarged the kitchen and included a new downstairs cloakroom...Read more
It was complex and included a tiled, sloping roof, the repositioning and replacement of a gas boiler, the electrics for the extension and improvements to the electrics of the rest of the house, two 'knock throughs', a fitted kitchen and the dismantling of a garage. The work was undertaken by skilled tradespersons and was completed to a realistic time scale with a more than satisfactory end result.
Chris Spicer is an excellent project manager with a keen eye for detail with the twin aims of quality and delivery foremost in his mind. The end result is an extension that is admired by all who see it, especially from those who were aware of the original kitchen and its shortcomings."

Elstead Building Company is a professional, reliable and friendly company. The team of builders delivered excellent workmanship and provided very good time-keeping and regular updates on progress.
In fact Chris, the owner of the business, attended the site nearly every day to talk through matters including making helpful suggestions, ensuring additional items we requested were carried out and keeping us informed about the time scale. The extension was completed at a reasonable cost and within the time agreed with no delays even allowing for a month of wet weather and additional items – very impressive.
I can highly recommend Chris's company and we are delighted with the superb extension."

Here are Ten Beers Being Brewed Exclusively for Colorado Public Lands Day
May 20th, 2017 is the first-ever Colorado Public Lands Day. Conservation Colorado worked hard last year to designate this state holiday as a day to celebrate and honor our public lands. There will be activities across the state to celebrate the day, including many happy hours and specials hosted by Colorado breweries.
In honor of the holiday, ten local breweries are releasing limited-edition beers for our public lands! We interviewed staff at each of the breweries to learn a bit more about these special beers and why the brewers wanted to celebrate Colorado Public Lands Day.
Here are all ten beers and where you can find them, listed by region.
"Flower Power" German-style Kölsch from Denver Beer Co.
5.4% ABV | 18 IBUs
Denver Beer Co.'s Flower Power is a German-style Kölsch brewed with locally-sourced Colorado clover honey and lavender. It was inspired by Head Brewer Jason Buehler's on-and-off pastime of backyard beekeeping, and of course, the wonderful sight of bees on wildflowers that you might come across during a hike in Colorado's public lands.
It's quite the honor to celebrate Colorado Public Lands Day because Denver Beer Co. was born out of passion for outdoor adventure and exploration. Co-owners Charlie Berger and Patrick Crawford say, "After a gnarly mountain bike ride, there is nothing better than a friendly place to sit and relax with friends and a pint." They also note that it will always be important to the crew at Denver Beer Co. to celebrate and respect our beautiful public lands everyday. In fact, they've made it their goal to do more for Colorado's land this year than ever before by partnering with Denver Mountain Parks Foundation in their efforts to better protect our land.
"Public Lands Quail Ale" from Cannonball Creek
5.1% ABV | 44 IBUs
Cannonball Creek in Golden will be offering a pale ale that pays homage to the foothills of the Rockies. "Public Lands Quail Ale" is a hybrid style pale ale featuring a heavy dose of American and German hops paired with British malts and English ale yeast.
The brewers say: "We figured the name would inspire a lot of questions which in turn makes it easier for us to promote Colorado Public Lands Day. The ale has an intensely fruity hop aroma which pairs well with the esters from the English ale yeast. Although heavy on hop flavor and aroma, the bitterness is relatively subdued, leaving a balanced and highly drinkable ale."
"Alt National Parks" from Joyride Brewing
5% ABV | 30 IBUs | 17 SRM
Joyride Brewing in Edgewater is offering a Düsseldorf-style Altbier to celebrate public lands and national parks.
Dave from Joyride says, "It was important for us to brew this beer because our national parks are some of the crown jewels of this country. Without the national park system, we'd have hotels lining both rims of the Grand Canyon, and someone would probably have Old Faithful in their backyard. These are national treasures that deserve to be enjoyed and appreciated by all, and to be preserved in their natural state. We need to protect our public lands because they belong to all of us."
The crew at Joyride explains, "We think that our national park system is one of the greatest parts of this country, which is why we wanted to brew this beer to show our support. This Düsseldorf-style Altbier has a rich bready, nutty, and biscuity malt base which overshadows a moderate hop bitterness. Authentic German yeast finishes slightly sweet and with a light cherry note. We used only Glacier hops, which provide plum & wood like flavors, and they represent the park possibly most threatened by climate change. Stand with Smokey."
"Open Space Series" from Asher Brewing Co.
Asher Brewing Co. in Boulder will offer a special release of their Organic Imperial Ginger Ale as part of their Open Space Series. Asher uses all organic ingredients and is powered by renewable energy as part of their commitment to sustainability. You get $1 off if you participated in a Colorado Public Lands Day stewardship event!
The "Imperial Ginger Ale" is an all-organic, imperial amber style ale brewed with fresh ginger. It won first place in the "Spiced Beer" category and came in second for overall Best in Show at the 2016 National Organic Brewing Competition!
Kate from Asher told us, "Because of the organic caramel malts that we use, it has strong, sweet-tasting malt flavors along with spiciness from the ginger. We will serve it in 10 oz pours on the 20th due to its higher alcohol content. We also sell 16 oz cans in the taproom.
"All of our ingredients and beers are organic, and are crafted with sustainability in mind. We are the only certified organic brewery in the state of Colorado!"
"Spruce Almighty" from Broken Compass Brewing Company
Broken Compass Brewing Company in Breckenridge will be celebrating their 3rd anniversary with experimental and small-batch brews. They created a spruce tip IPA called "Spruce Almighty" to pay homage to the mountains of Breckenridge.
Jen from Broken Compass says, "Spruce trees are a beautiful part of our high alpine environment, and the mountain life would not be the same with out them. Spruce Almighty is our house IPA infused with locally foraged spruce tips. Pine is a natural characteristic of hops that give hoppy beers their flavor and aroma. We chose spruce to compliment the other hops being used in our IPA."
"Get Out!" Saison from Mountain Tap Brewery
Steamboat Springs' Mountain Tap Brewery's "Get Out!" Belgian farmhouse-style saison was brewed to celebrate Colorado's public lands. Made with Colorado-grown malted barley & wheat from Root Shoots Malting, it's earthy, spicy, tangy and quenching.
The brewers say, "Get Out and enjoy the land!"
"Monument Red Ale" from Kannah Creek Brewing Company
Kannah Creek Brewing Company in Grand Junction is surrounded by amazing public lands, including the Colorado National Monument. They will be offering a "Monument Ale" traditional Irish style red ale with medium malt body and a light hop bitterness.
The "Monument Ale" will be available at all three Kannah Creek locations May 15th-May 20th.
Tyler from Kannah Creek says, "We're so excited for the first Colorado Public Lands Day! We are surrounded by amazing public land here on the Western Slope, including the Colorado National Monument which we named the beer after as well as the Grand Mesa National Forest. It is from the Grand Mesa that our pure snowmelt water comes from that creates our clean crisp beers! We owe our delicious beer to the public lands and we all make sure to appreciate all the amazing lands and activities Western Slope public lands have to offer."
"Public Lands Pale" from Rockslide Brewery
Grand Junction's Rockslide Brewery has a history of naming beers after inspiring outdoor places. The "Cold Shivers Pale Ale" is named after the incredible Cold Shivers point in Colorado National Monument, while the "Kokopelli Kölsch" is named after the legendary trails found just before the entrance to Utah.
For Colorado Public Lands Day, Rockslide created a Public Lands Pale Ale. The vision for this beer is a hybrid of the two, creating a beer that is slightly hoppy, similar to the pale, while still maintaining the drinkability of the Kölsch, the lightest beer on tap. Brewed with domestic pilsner and 2 row base malts with a sprinkling of crystal and victory malt for a light sweetness and a touch of biscuity character, this beer is balanced by hops from the Pacific Northwest that showcase the piney, resinous features so commonly sought after.
Zorba Proteau at Rockslide tells us: "Being at the heart of the Western Slope with all of its incredible landmarks and outdoor recreation, we jumped at the opportunity to be a part of an event that celebrates the ability to visit them. Now more than ever it's important for small businesses to champion this freedom."
Grand Mesa and Colorado National Monument-inspired Pale Ale from Copper Club Brewing Company
Fruita's Copper Club Brewing Company has made a pale ale that is lightly hopped with flavors and aromas derived from spruce & fir tips and juniper berries.
Michele and the crew at Copper Club say, "We support Colorado Public Lands Day because otherwise we would not be here. Everyone that works at Copper Club is at least partly here due to the beautiful and abundant public lands that surround the Grand Valley. We all participate in some kind of outdoor activity and we want to keep public lands open for everyone to enjoy."
"Colorado Red Ale" from Revolution Brewing
Revolution Brewing in Paonia will be offering the Mt. Lamborn Lager to pay homage to the wonderful state of Colorado.
Eugenie at Revolution explained, "We get our water from springs at the base of Mt Lamborn and it's public land so that's why we named our crisp clear lager after the mountain. We'll be serving it for several months this summer. We also use locally grown hops whose irrigation water also comes from public lands.
"Colorado Public Lands Day Beer" from the Bootleggers Society
The Bootleggers Society is comprised of all six Durango breweries: Ska Brewing, Steamworks, Carver Brewing, Brew Pub & Kitchen, Durango Brewing, and Animas Brewing. They teamed up to brew a special Double IPA as a nod of thanks to the natural areas surrounding Durango. The beer will be on tap at all the breweries in Durango on May 20th.
The beer is a Double IPA brewed with Simcoe, Galaxy, and El Dorado hops. It's a perfect drink to have after exploring our public lands in late spring sunshine. Plus, all proceeds from the beer sales will benefit Conservation Colorado!
"Colorado public lands support our brand and our community's passion for the outdoor active lifestyle," said Ska Co-Founder and CEO Dave Thibodeau. "At Ska, we have access to trails in every direction right outside our door! Colorado's public lands steward and support the lifestyle we love. Beyond just locals and natives, People come to Colorado from all over the world to play in the mountains and then reminisce about their adventures at the end of the day over a delicious Colorado craft beer."

Description: DESMAN was retained to perform an analysis of the drop-off/pick-up driveway, loading dock, vehicle elevator, and functional design of the parking layout for the proposed Ritz Carlton Residences building in Chicago, Illinois. The Ritz Carlton Residences is a 40-story, mixed-use, 86 unit residential building with some office and retail space. The site plans to contain two vehicle elevators to serve the 110 parking spaces. DESMAN analyzed the accessibility of the vehicle elevators through an alley off of Erie Street which is shared by an adjacent building. The projected number of trips that would be generated to the both the drop-off/pick-up driveway and parking facility were analyzed to determine if any traffic mitigation measures or geometric changes were necessary. A review of the functional layout of the parking levels was performed to determine the effective capacity of the parking and to analyze traffic circulation. We recommended a parking layout plan, the vehicle elevator locations and the number of loading berths based on our analysis.

aka: a bunch of dresses I bought for Bicolline!
Fashion & Beauty
Remember about a year and a half ago when I said I wanted to do a huge closet purge? Well, it took me forever to get around it because other things came up that distracted me and I'm the worst procrastinator when it comes to cleaning/organizing. But I finally did it! Or, well, at least I got close to finishing it anyway.
I got rid of a total of SIX garbage bags full of clothing that I no longer wear. Most things were very old, no longer fit, or had missing buttons, holes, or stains. My closet feels surprisingly empty now. In fact, I was able to clean out my entire hall closet and let my boyfriend have it to himself. Previously he was hanging some of his clothes in my closet, which was not the most efficient and there was barely any room in there any way. To do so I had to move all my jackets and coats into the back of my main closet but with all the extra room, I still have space! It's so nice.
I've tackled most of the dresser, too. There's still some things I need to go through, like the pile of clothes on top of my dresser, my lingerie chest (which has my underwear, bras, tights, and socks), my makeup, and my jewelry collection. The latter is kind of spread out all over the apartment right now in random places, so I also need to figure out how I want to store it and purchase whatever things I need for that solution. I am thinking of some clear stacking jewelry drawers for on top of my dresser for the items I wear the most, and then something for inside my closet for the things I don't wear as often. For makeup, I've already cleaned off my vanity the other day but I still need to actually go through my makeup collection and purge things. I'm hoping I have enough things that I could sell to Glambot or something.
Speaking of selling things, I ended up not doing any of those online consignment things… I just had TOO MUCH STUFF to get rid of, and sadly the very easiest way to get rid of everything at once was to load it up into my boyfriend's car and take it to Goodwill. C'est la vie.
After I've cleaned out all of the above, though, I know I will feel so much lighter. I already feel so from just doing the six bags of clothes! I'm not aiming to live any sort of minimalist lifestyle, but I do like the idea of downsizing to things I actually wear and use. There's no point in keeping things that I no longer gravitate toward as I have grown and my style has evolved, but especially so if they are old (some things I've had since high school, why was I keeping it‽), worn out, and no longer fit.
With my hope to move to Europe within the next two years or so, downsizing in this manner is part of the process of preparing for such an endeavor. I don't want to bring excess things with me!
I get a lot of questions and comments about my hair, mostly from strangers but enough are from friends (hi, Yana!), family, and acquaintances that I realized I should write a blog post about it that I can link them to so I don't feel like a broken record when I say the same things over and over again. I will start by saying that my hair mostly grows out of my head the way that you see it. (Hence the title of this post, "I woke up like this.") Key word there, though, is mostly. While I had embraced my natural curl pattern years ago, I was still plagued with frizz, flatness, and dryness when it came to my hair. I had a lot of issues with breakage and split ends. It wasn't until about two years ago that I switched up my routine and the products I was using and saw a huge, dare I say drastic improvement in the health, growth, and overall condition of my hair. So while I may "wake up like this" on a daily basis, there's actually a lot of thought and care that goes into my hair and is the reason I'm able to just roll out of bed and go most days.
What I DON'T Do
The main aspects of my haircare these days lies in the things I do not do to it:
- I do not use sulfate shampoos. I find them to be overly drying to my already dry hair. I also, therefore, do not use silicone conditioners, since silicones are not water-soluble (except for a special few) and require a harsh sulfate to rinse out.
- I very rarely use heat styling tools or hair dryers. Since my hair is naturally curly, I don't have to curl it. I straighten my hair maybe once a year, if at all. And I hardly ever, if at all, use a hair dryer. When I do use a hair dryer, I do so on a low heat setting and I utilize a diffuser attachment. I also NEVER heat style without a heat protectant.
- I do not brush my hair. Seriously, never. I only own one hairbrush, and I use it for brushing out wigs for when I LARP. I do detangle it in the shower with a wide tooth comb when it's soaked with conditioner, but otherwise nope! I also don't tease my hair, never ever.
- I don't dry my hair with towels. The fibers on towels catch on individual hairs and pull at them, disrupting the curl pattern and causing frizz. Instead I use old t-shirts to dry my hair with after a shower, and use a scrunching, NOT rubbing, motion to do so.
- I've never colored my hair with permanent hair dye. I colored my hair once with semi-permanent dye, but it was only the ends to make them purple and pink and it had faded out after a couple months. Even when I did that, I told my hair dresser not to use bleach at all and I was lucky that my hair is light enough to take the colors without the use of it.
- I've never chemically straightened my hair. I did do a section perm once, to try to get the top layer, or "canopy," of my hair to curl like the rest of my hair, but it only worked temporarily and I never repeated the process.
I first heard about Stitch Fix a while ago via one of my old neighbors who had signed up. She loved the service, and when they expanded their available style range I decided to sign up. (I definitely lean towards the more alternate/edgy side of fashion, and originally I felt they weren't catering to that area of style.) I received my first Stitch Fix box in the mail last month (yes, I'm always belated with this stuff), and I wanted to share the experience with you!
To start, if you are not familiar with Stitch Fix—it is a subscription box service for curated fashion. You fill out a style profile, which is impressively extensive, and a stylist is assigned to you to hand-pick five items for your box. You can choose to receive a one-time box or have an automatic subscription repeat every two weeks, every month, or every other month. I currently have every month selected, personally, to see how it goes. They charge a $20 styling fee per box, which gets deducted from whatever you decide to purchase from your box. Whatever pieces you decide you don't like, you send back in a provided shipping bag with a prepaid shipping label. So it's kind of like having a personal stylist choose some items for you! I found it extremely helpful to provide a Pinterest board of my personal style preferences, as a reference for my stylist.
The box arrived and looks like this when you first open it up:
I've been in a spring-cleaning mood, despite it not being Spring. (Though, honestly, I wouldn't blame you if you mistook summer in San Francisco for early Spring 😛 It's still kinda cold here even though it's nearly August.) After moving into my own apartment back in September, I realized I have a rather large amount of clothing. And while that may be nice to, you know, not do laundry for a few months (yeah, okay, I know that's kind of ridiculous), I can't help but realize that I own a lot of pieces that I simply don't wear anymore.
It's not even that the items don't fit—though, yes, some probably don't—it's moreso that my style has evolved over time. For example: I used to be a big wearer of geeky/nerdy t-shirts. While I still love a good t-shirt, I just realistically never gravitate towards wearing them. I have a whole drawer full of these t-shirts and, if I'm 100% honest, the drawer is actually overflowing. But it stays full/overflowing because I am hardly, if ever, wearing these t-shirts.
It's about time I went through all my stuff and did a good purge, starting with the stuff that never sees the laundry pile. I think it's a pretty good indicator of my use of a particular item if it never ends up in the wash and just hangs out, forever, in my closet or in a drawer (like those aforementioned t-shirts). I could use that space for stuff that I actually wear! And then buy more stuff I actually wear! Imagine that.
I don't, however, just want to throw a pile of clothes in the trash or donate them to Goodwill. I'd like to, ideally, make some cash selling them. I've experimented selling some of the stuff I already have in get-rid-of piles on Poshmark but, frankly, I am too lazy to ship each piece individually. It involves making a trip to the Post Office, which is several blocks out of my way both two and from work and who wants to waste their lunch hour at USPS? Nope, not me. I'd rather eat a tasty sandwich. Yes, I realize Poshmark provides me with a shipping label. But do you think I have boxes ready to go in my apartment? I don't. I also don't have a printer. Or packing tape. And I don't really want to have to worry about these things, either. (You are now starting to truly understand how stubborn my Lazy is.)
As an alternative, I've decided to check out these three online consignment stores: Twice, ThredUp, and Threadflip. (As an FYI, these are all referral links. 'Cause who doesn't like a little bit of incentive?) I intend to write a blog post on how my experience with these three services goes, but the basic gist of how they work is that they send you a shipping bag to mail them all the items you want to sell.
They go through your items, pick the ones they want to buy from you, and you agree to the offer. After that, they pay you and list the items on their websites. Threadflip seems to have an option to list an item individually, yourself, like how Poshmark works. Threadflip also doesn't pay you until your item sells, and you get up-to-80% of the selling price. Twice & ThredUp pay you up front, like a consignment store would, for your items.
Twice seems to be the pickiest of the three, in terms of what brands they'll accept. I intend to mail them my more high-end items, and send the rest to ThredUp which has a much broader list of items they will accept (like things from Forever 21, which Twice won't take). One of the nice things about Twice is that if there is anything in your bag that they don't take, they'll donate it to Goodwill for you, so the item doesn't go to complete waste. I'm not sure what ThredUp does with anything they don't take, as it's not specified on their website. As for Threadflip, I think I'll try sending them a few items and see what happens. I'm not keen on the idea of waiting for an item to be purchased before I am compensated, but it's not necessarily a bad thing. I'm just impatient.


text: Russia is a vast country, spanning over 6 million square miles of some of the most rugged terrain on Earth, much of which is uninhabited and largely unexplored. It is also the home of 'cosmism' – a belief that human civilization originated in the cosmos and is destined to return to space. But many believe the rise of communism led to a wall of secrecy surrounding ancient and modern extraterrestrial contact in Russia. Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that otherworldly visitations predate the establishment of the Russian nation, and point to the ancient settlement at Arkaim as evidence–a centuries-old megalithic site that, like Stonehenge, is oriented along astronomical lines.

Ren & Stimpy: OLD SCHOOL Tag!
Hidden in Germantown/Mt. Airy, not far from the rail road tracks, was THIS. It's been there for nearly 20 years now on a place that seems to still be in use. A few newer tags on top, sadly, over it… I love the old-school tag!

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base has tied as the top Air Force base to be stationed among 68 stateside locations, according to the Air Force Times.
"It's a great opportunity to tell something that we already know," said Jeff Hoagland, Dayton Development Coalition president and chief executive officer. "I think this could be very helpful to attract new missions and new jobs."
The weekly newspaper and website looked at a dozen categories and evaluated each using a point system. The survey highlighted the top five and the lowest five base rankings.
The categories reviewed school quality, cost of living, housing costs, size of the community, base exchange, on-base medical care facilities, crime rates, commute times, pollution levels, climate, unemployment rates and sales taxes.
Wright-Patterson tied with Scott Air Force Base, Ill., for the top spot.
"The spirit between the base and community here is incredibly strong," said Col. John M. Devillier, newly appointed 88th Air Base Wing commander at Wright-Patterson, in an email. "People in the Miami Valley show their appreciation for the Air Force and help create the kind of community that is responsive to the needs of our people."
The Air Force Times cited low housing costs, a large base commissary and exchange and a large medical center. The survey found the Dayton region had an above average crime score of seven out of 10, but a below average one-way commute time of 14 minutes compared to 25 minutes nationwide, among other factors.
The National Museum of the U.S. Air Force and the Air Force Marathon were cited as top amenities, too, the report said.
Matthew and Caroline Hawkins, both 30, are a married couple serving as Air Force captains at Wright-Patterson.
"Really, I don't think there's any surprise in our mind and (the survey results) probably goes along with our peers as well," said Matthew Hawkins, an engineer in the AC-130J program at the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center. "We love Dayton."
The Fairborn couple said the partnership the community has with the base airmen and employees, affordable housing, a low crime rate, plus base intramural sport leagues, metro and state parks, bike trails, sailing, and area restaurants are reasons why they like living here.
"In addition to that, the commute to Wright-Patt is really easy," said Caroline Hawkins, who works in acquisition at the Air Force Materiel Command. "Getting on and off the base is very easy."
Their home is within driving distance to her family on the East Coast "so that's a big plus," she said, adding people off-base frequently thank her for her service while she is in uniform.
The size of Wright-Patterson, the largest single site employer in Ohio, gives flexibility to move from job to job, she added. "There are great job opportunities for engineers here at Wright-Patterson," Caroline Hawkins said. "Matt and I are both engineers and we're both now on our third job here at Wright-Patt. It's a great opportunity to be able to stay settled in one place and move from job to job and gain a lot of valuable experience."
The on-base and off-base attractions are a draw to both military families and retirees who choose to stay or relocate to the Miami Valley, said Deborah Gross, Dayton Area Defense Contractors Association executive director.
A minor league baseball team, a performing arts center and art museums attract airmen to Dayton, while graduate level academic degrees help base employees learn skills and earn credentials that fit their jobs, Gross said.
"That's why I think so many of them, as they go through their career and they retire, come back to settle at Wright-Patterson for the long haul," she said.
The other top bases in order of ranking were: Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Tex.; Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska; and Luke Air Force Base, Ariz.
The five lowest scored bases in the Air Force Times review were: Los Angeles Air Force Base, Calif., which scored the lowest of all 68 bases, mostly because of cost of living and housing costs; followed by a tie between Columbus Air Force Base, Miss., and McConnell Air Force Base, Kan.; and a tie for fifth from the bottom between Hanscom Air Force Base, Mass., and Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in Washington, D.C.

National Bookstart Week kicks off in Middlesbrough
8 Jun 2017
Families in Middlesbrough have marked the launch of National Bookstart Week with a day of fun on Saturday 3 June at the town's Central Library, where they were encouraged to develop a love of shared reading.
Supporting the goals of the Middlesbrough Reading Campaign from the National Literacy Trust and Middlesbrough City Council, Booktrust's annual National Bookstart Week celebrates sharing books, stories and rhymes with children from an early age. Reading together every day for just 10 minutes is enough to make significant improvement to a child's development.
The theme of this year's Bookstart Week, which officially runs from Monday 5 to Sunday 11 June, is Let's Explore Outdoors. Lots of outdoor children's activities took place at the library to celebrate on Saturday, including a small animal petting zoo, planting seeds and bubble blowing. Every baby, toddler or under-five in attendance was given a copy of this year's chosen book, Everybunny Dance! by Ellie Sandall and Penguin Random House's Peter Rabbit and Friends.
Each of the attendees' names was also entered into a free prize draw that offered the chance to win a hamper of books donated by the National Literacy Trust's Middlesbrough Hub.
