Greater London Authority HQ
Out of the dense expanse of bricks and mortar, some buildings rise above others to stand as symbols of a city's pride and identity. Many of London's most striking monuments - from Battersea power station to the Houses of Parliament - are strung along its most prominent natural feature, the Thames. And where the river starts to widen and the City meets the East End a new landmark, the headquarters of the Greater London Authority, is taking shape beside an old one, Tower Bridge. An eco-friendly office block and a Victorian show of strength, reflections of the preoccupations of their respective eras.
In the late 1800s, as the capital spread eastwards, London Bridge, the city's oldest, was creaking under the weight of more than 110,000 pedestrians and 22,000 vehicles every day. A new crossing was needed, so the London Corporation's bridge and subway committee presented engineers with a challenge - to design a way across a busy river with low banks that would allow people to cross over it and boats to go under it. Sir Horace Jones's design, revolutionary for its day, was for a bridge known as a bascule (from the French for seesaw) that employed steam powered hydraulics to raise the road.
In July 1894, its first month of operation, the bridge performed this amazing feat 655 times, nd an awestruck populace christened it the Wonder Bridge. More than a century later, it still performs some 500 times a year.
But whereas Tower Bridge hid its engineering prowess under 31 million bricks, and clad its 11,000 tons of steel with Portland stone and Cornish granite, the new GLA building is transparent, a deliberate design feature meant as a nod to the political will of its future inhabitants. Architect Norman Foster has called it "a democratic building" because it "will allow Londoners to see their elected assembly at work".
Like Tower Bridge, it is technologically ahead of its time. The unusual headlamp shape was created with the help of computer-generated thermal maps to optimise its natural air conditioning, tilted so as not to catch too much direct sunlight, and with staggered floors to provide shade. Solar power will heat the building in winter and bring cool air from boreholes in the summer, meaning it will use just a quarter the energy of an ordinary office block.
Victorian town halls - like their bridges - were imposing, lofty structures, which wore their civic pride like a bold adornment. People-friendly, 21st-century politics frowns on such architectural intimidation, and the GLA building attempts to make a voter-friendly virtue out of its transparency. Times change, and buildings with them. But don't be fooled by appearances. In both these places, the real power is wielded far from our view.

Point of Inquiry is the Center for Inquiry's flagship podcast, where the brightest minds of our time sound off on all the things you're not supposed to talk about at the dinner table: science, religion, and politics. Guests have included Brian Greene, Susan Jacoby, Richard Dawkins, Ann Druyan, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Eugenie Scott, Adam Savage, Bill Nye, and Francis Collins. Point of Inquiry is produced at the Center for Inquiry in Amherst, N.Y.

Chris Mooney is a 2009-2010 Knight Science Journalism Fellow at MIT and author of three books, including the New York Times bestselling The Republican War on Science, Storm World, and Unscientific America: How Scientific Illiteracy Threatens Our Future, co-authored by Sheril Kirshenbaum. In this conversation with D.J. Grothe, Chris Mooney talks about the growing divide between science and society. He contrasts the issues addressed in The Republican War on Science with the current problems facing society as outlined in Unscientific America. He argues for the unique public policy significance of science for society, and why scientific literacy matters more than other kinds of cultural or historical literacy. He discusses the policy relevance of scientific illiteracy in terms of global warming and biotechnology. He talks about the need for scientists to become better communicators to the public. He shares his criticisms of the New Atheists and explains why their attacks against religious moderates works counter to the goal of scientific literacy. He recounts his experiences as an atheist activist while in college, and how his views have changed about campus forethought activism since that time. He explores other underlying causes of scientific illiteracy, including our educational system, the media's dysfunctional treatment of science, and growing anti-science movements such as the climate deniers and vaccine skeptics. And he details concrete actions that science advocates can take in order to increase scientific literacy.

The most cool referee I´ve ever seen!
He gets up after a knockdown and he's all over the place. He tries to fight the ref ferchrissakes!
Luckily for the punch drunk kid swinging wildly, the referee wasn't a little guy. He's a fighter himself. Frank 'The Crank' Camacho, he's known as.
Camacho's experience is telling, you can see that he instantly understands the situation and goes towards the guy to calm him. A lesser official might have taken it the wrong way…

This was too be a pretty important series for both the Oakland Athletics and the Texas Rangers. The Rangers took the first game and made it clear how big of a swing they could make in the division momentum with a sweep of the A's. With Yu Darvish going against the Athletics in the second game of the series the Rangers had to like their chances. The only problem is that the A's went out and defeated Darvish and the Rangers in the second game.
That really messes up the plans of the Rangers and puts the A's a comfy three games up in the division once again. With two more games left in the series there still is a lot to play for in both clubhouses. I think the Athletics have the advantage without a doubt right now. They are the ones that were chasing the Rangers after all and they are the ones that caught the Rangers then passed them. Now with a very important four game series they have a chance to either squander that hard fought lead or cement their spot as division leader.
Considering they have already beaten Darvish I like their chances to at least split the last two games of the series and end up with a three game lead going out just as they had coming in. If they take three of four and end up with a five game lead things really are going to look bad for the Rangers who would suddenly have to deal with the total collapse they have had over the last month that has seen them lose what would then be up to a dozen games to one team. A lot rides on this series and I would not bet against the Athletics if I were betting.

I take a summer job with a local house painting company to save money for my next year's college tuition. The company has five separate crews that are scheduled to paint the interior of older homes. On the first day, the owner assigns me to to work with him on an older two story home as he sends the other crews to homes he has agreed to paint.
My boss, Cody (age 38), looks like a Roman gladiator. He has bulging muscles up and down his gorgeous body. I learn that he is 6 feet and 4 inches tall, weights 225 rock hard pounds, and has curly long blond hair hanging half way down his back. He has light blue sparkling eyes, arms and legs the size of small tree trunks, and a muscled hard chest with protruding big nipples the size of a smaller woman's breasts. He has prominent chiseled cheeks and jaw. He has only light blond fuzz over his body.
I have never set eyes on a more impressive hunk. I learn that he has developed this gorgeous body as a body builder.
My name is Xavier but I go by the nickname of Alex. I am a twink compared to stud Cody. I have dark red hair, hazel eyes; very light complexion making me prone to sunburn, and very little body hair. I weigh 150 pounds and stand 5' 7". I am trim and often described as cute by my college friends and roommates. I am 20 years of age.
For the first three days, Cody and I wash the walls and move the furniture preparing for the painting.
Early on the fourth day, I am on the sixth rung of a ladder in the living room running a paint brush up and down the wall when Cody walks up behind me. He steps on the first rung of the ladder and places his hands on my butt cheeks and says: "Alex, how are you doing? Do you like your summer job?"
As a Gay twink, I instantly feel my 8" cut cock begin expanding in my boxers. I try without any success to get the tool under control. I have no idea if Cody is totally straight or bisexual. I have met his bombshell girlfriend. I do not want Cody to see that he is turning me on. I could be accused of coming on to him or even worse get fired.
Without turning around and trying to hide my hard on, I respond: "Yes, boss, this is an ideal summer job and it pays well so I can have significant funds for my next year's college tuition. Thank you for giving me the job."
Cody moves up one more rung, pats me hard on both of my ass cheeks near the entrance to my ass, runs his huge hands up my spine and says: "Great Alex, I am pleased you enjoy working for me. I can see you are a very dedicated worker." He then moves off the ladder and begins painting the wall opposite to the wall I am painting.
I am horny as hell the rest of the day thinking about his big warm hands on my ass. Maybe he did not mean to be flirty but just how he operates as a former high school quarterback. Football players are famous for patting each other on the butt after a good play.
After work, my mother has prepares a wonderful steak dinner for my father, my three younger brothers and me. After dinner, I rush to my room and lock the door. I have never been hornier and I am desperate to milk my cock dry.
I take off all my clothes; get out my favorite Gay magazine of nude Gay guys; and retrieve a bottle of lube. I lie down on my back on the bed and put a pillow under my ass. I drench my cock and ass with gobs of lube.
I begin jacking off with one hand hand and inserting a finger into my ass with the other hand. As I look at the nude pictures and fantasy about an illicit affair with Cody sucking my cock and fucking my ass, my cock becomes as hard as steel.
I am running my wet hand rapidly up and down the shaft of my leaking cock, driving two fingers up my ass as if they are a cock. I am massaging my prostate. I am coming almost off the bed and moaning and grunting loudly. I am moaning louder and louder. The only reason that the family cannot hear by groans and the screeching of the bed is that I am playing loud music on my stereo.
I jack off and finger my ass until I almost come. I rest and then go at it again. I want to last as long as possible. After an hour of starting and stopping, I am now so horny and eager to shoot a huge load. I speed up my jerking my now sore cock and soon I explode with a monstrous series of jizz blasts that spray over my abs, stomach, chest, face and mouth and even into my red hair. I am covered in my own sweet smelling nectar.
I grab a towel and clean off the warm cum and swallow what went into my mouth. I lick the cum stained towel to get more jizz for the meal. I take a shower and go to bed. I look forward to tomorrow and maybe Cody will pat my ass again. One can hope.
I show up for work at 7 AM. Cody seems especially friendly and says: "Well, Mate, are you ready for another 8 hours of painting?"
"Oh, yes, boss, I am ready to get to work with your instructions."
"Alex, please start calling me Cody."
Around 10 AM Cody calls me to come up stairs to the master bedroom to help him replace the cover on a wall lamp. I hold the cover in place as he replaces the screws.
As I left my arms high to hold the cover in place, Cody's mouth and hot breath are only two inches from one of my underarms. I can feel his hot breath blowing under my armpit's red fuzz. I am beginning to sprout a hardon.
When Cody is finished replacing the cover, he notices the huge bulge in my pants. He drops the screwdriver and OMG he starts licking and sucking on my underarm. He sucks and eats the perspiration running down my arm. Soon he moves to my other armpit and does the same. It is a hot day and I am producing lots of sweat. We both are working shirtless due to the heat.
I am now totally horny and I have a full erection. My cock is pressing against my boxers attempting to escape.
Next Cody moves to my mouth and he gently plants soft kisses on my lips. He now has a full erection as I view his crotch. WOW!! His cock looks huge. Cody is so turned on that he plunges his tongue into the back of my throat as we engage in a long series of French kisses. We have spit dripping from our mouths and running down our chins onto our naked chests. The sloppy kissing is driving me crazy. I reach down and take hold of the huge bulge in Cody's pants. I can feel a wet spot.
Still in silence, Cody moves over and puts a painting canvass in the middle of the room. He picks me up and lays me down on my back on the canvass. For the first time Cody speaks: "Alex, you are really a cute twink that is turning me on. I want to compare fucking your asshole with fucking my girlfriend's pussy. I have never had my cock in a man's ass. It sounds sexy. I do not know but maybe I am bisexual."
I am now wild to be fucked by this giant of a man. I have never been more aroused due to both his handsome body and to be the first man's ass he fucks.
Cody instructs me: "Alex, I have a sexy idea or one of my fantasy dreams. I want to dominate you. Please lie back and be totally passive. I will make all the moves and do all the dirty talking. I will dominate you. Is that OK?"
"Oh, yes! Dominate me, give me orders, do to me what ever turns you on. Let me be your bitch today. I will be silent and take your directions."
"Great Alex. I am going to lick you from your head to your feet. I am going to eat and fuck your rosebud, suck and swallow your nuts, lick and suck your cock, bite your tits, spank your dirty ass, hump you and whatever else comes to my mind. Get ready you slut, bitch and ungrateful lad. You are going to get it today from this hunk."
Cody goes down and removes my belt, unzips my pants and takes them off. He removes my shoes and socks. I am now naked except for my black silk briefs with a hard cock head that has escaped up and out of the elastic band in my briefs. I put my hands above my head and wait to be devoured by this horny gladiator. He takes off his shoes and clothes except for his hot red briefs. His giant cock is running side ways just under the elastic band of his briefs all the way over to his hip. It is huge.
Cody lies flat on my body. He begins to hump me with a great force as he licks first my ear lobes and then sucks and bites my nipples. Our cocks are rubbing hard against each other as we fill our briefs with gobs of precum. After at least 7 minutes, he gets up and start tonguing and cleaning my sweaty body. He again licks my underarms; licks down my arms; licks my face; licks across my chest; licks down my stomach; licks my belly button; and licks my abs, thighs, legs, feet and toes. He spends a considerable amount of time sucking on each of my toes and licking under the bottom of my feet.
I am crazy with lust and I am so near coming even without touching my cock. No one has ever cleaned my entire body with their hot tongue before today. It is the most erotic experience as I must remain passive and not talk.
Finally he gives attention to my aching cock. He puts his mouth on my cock head kissing and licking over the head through my briefs. When he is satisfied with the smell and arousal he has caused, he puts his thumbs under the band of my briefs and takes them off. My 8 inch cock stands to attention as it oozes precum.
He orders me to remove his red briefs. WOW!! I learn that he has an 11" cut cock, big cock head and large balls the size of ostrich eggs. I am pretty sure I will not survive that horse cock when he fucks me.
Cody comes up and sits on my chest and without a word he plunges his horse cock down my throat. I am only able to get about two-thirds of his cock down my throat. It is long and very thick. Cody moans and pounds my throat as I gag and gasp for air. My mouth is so full of cock. I am collecting his warm precum as it slides down my throat.
With his cock still leaking, he moves down and takes my fully hard cock down his throat. He does not bother to slowly suck my cock but goes wild and fast sucking my boner. As he nosily and sloppy gives me a full and wild blowjob, he is fingering my ass with three of his big fingers. My ass is being spread for his waiting and eager cock.
After a long and hot blowjob, Cody starts sucking my over heating balls. He manages to put both of my nuts into his hot mouth and suck hard. I can feel my warm cum gathering for a major eruption. As I am not allowed to speak, I am unable to warn Cody that I am going to come. I grab the base of my cock and turn it toward his face and head. I burst a huge load of my seed all over his face and head as he sucks my balls. He winds up with gobs of my warm cum on his face, mouth, eyes, ears and hair. He deserves the drenching as I am not allowed to talk.
Surprisingly he seems to enjoy the drenching of cum over his head. He pulls off of my nuts and immediately plunges his huge cock into my ass without any warning. OMG, it is so big.
Cody says: "You bitch, take all my cock down that ass channel. I am going to drive this monstrous sausage so deep into you that you can feel and taste it in your mouth. I am going to dump the largest load of jizz you have ever had in your man pussy. It will take hours for my cum to empty your ass after I finish breeding you."
My heart is racing as I am totally filed with this huge hot instrument up my ass. It hurts and at the same time feels so good. I have never had a cock this deep into my rosebud. WOW. It does feel as if it is all the way up my colon.
I violate my oath of silence as a moan: "Oh. yea. oh yea. FUCK ME. PLEASE FUCK ME. OH GIVE IT TO ME. Oh it is so big."
"I told you not to speak, you bitch. If my girlfriend can take all of this horse cock up her pussy, you can take it too. Do not be a baby."
Cody's dirty talk turns me on as I feel my cock rise again. WOW, Cody moves in and out with such an erotic feeling. His cock is massaging my walls and rubbing against my hot prostate. He has succeeding in opening my ass like never before. I will be able to take huge cocks after this fucking.
He pounds and drills my man pussy for at least 15 minutes. Then his cock head swells, he breaths faster and screams as he releases a fountain of the most hot and thick cum I have ever experienced. He continues to blast load after load into my ass. I am flooded with his nectar.
He pulls out and puts his still leaking semi-hard cock in my mouth as I suck him dry. We kiss and enjoy the still warm cum.
Finally, we get up and dress and before we return to work Cody says: " Alex, I hope this was fun. Thanks for the fuck and letting me be the aggressor. You did a fantastic job as the meek one. I want you to know that you were a great fuck but I am devoted to my girlfriend and future wife. You are a cute guy and you will have many guys after you. After today, you can show them really hot sex."
"Thanks Cody. This fuck was fantastic and I do understand. Thanks for the sex lesson and the summer job."

As an ex jungle main (now top), I have a decent understanding of how to jungle and how it works etc. One of the junglers played less and less, especially higher up is Shaco. Seeing him being pulled out at Katowice got me thinking about him a little.
The general consensus about Shaco and most other assasins (such as Leblanc), is that he they fall off late game. Shaco is notorious for this. As a result, he's become one of those champions that dominates early on, but if the game gets past 30 minutes, then he ends up being pretty much useless. Though I disagree about Leblanc, I agree in regards to Shaco. In my thinking about Shaco, I wondered what I can do with him. First of all, I thought about why he ends up useless late. My conclusions are as follows:
- His kit isn't really late-game orientated. He has high base damages for rank 1 skills, but as they go up, they don't scale as well as other champions'.
- He is mostly single target in damage output. You can buy some aoe damage for him like Tiamat and Statikk Shiv, but other than his ult and his boxes changing targets, he is single target focussed.
That last point is really important. Generally, the support role gets the least gold, and then the junglers get the next lowest, followed by the lanes. I ask you a simple question: "If a champion doesn't get much gold compared to other people, how can we expect them to do much in the late game?" I'm sure you have all experienced it. You get that one person on your team that sucks and end the game with 4k gold less than everyone else in the game. In the late game, that person is utterly useless. Ignoring them making bad calls, in straight up trades, and teamfights, do they ever accomplish much? If they are playinh AP and do hang in the back, do they do much damage? No. If someone is behind, we don't expect much from them at all. Though exaggerated, my point still stands. This is the result of putting Shaco in the jungle. He is someone that needs gold to do much. Assasins are prone to this. Like AD carries, they are reliant on items to be able to do their job. By putting an assasin like Shaco in the jungle, you are effectively putting a stranglehold on his income. It only naturally follows that he will be fairly useless in the late game. You're not letting him do his job. This is further enforced by the 'unspoken rule', though more of an ideal that the jungler lets the laner(s) take the kills when they gank. The rise of tanky support junglers (Naut, Hecarim, Udyr, Shyvana to name a few), has led to that. Shaco is fine getting assists, assists are better than nothing after all, but what he really needs to shine is kills. If you want kills, where do you go? In the lanes. Where is Shaco best played if played in lane? My answer was the top lane.
Some of you may be familiar with the idea that Fizz, Talon and Kassasdin are good counters to your usual AP champions. However, it is fairly well known that they are best not picked blind because they are easily countered. Instead, you are better off picking them as counterpicks once you know what the enemy mid will be. The exact same logic applies to Shaco, but in the top lane. "Who does Shaco top counter?" I hear you ask. The answer to that my friends and haters alike, is this:
"Shaco counters champions that utilise Brush"
Off the top of my head, I can think of 4 main offenders who do this. They are:
- Kha'Zix
- Nidalee
- Teemo
Rengar is the most obvious out of the four, and also the one this is most effective against. I put Teemo in that list because everyone loves killing Teemo and also because Teemo players have a habit of putting shrooms in the brush to use as wards against junglers and also to trade with. I suppose around now I should tell you how Shaco top works...
Ever had one of those moments (specifcally AP Shaco) where you stacked boxes on one spot and someone walked right into them and died pretty much instantly while you laughed youself to the point of suffocation? This lane revolves around this trick, though watered down. During the whole laning phase, you can just put a box or two, or three in the brushes. Your lane opponent (being someone that relies on brush) will walk in there to use it however they do. I can guarantee they will do it a few times until they catch on. It should go like this:
- Enemy laner walks into brush.
- Box(es) proc, fearing them and dealing damage.
- You throw a Shiv (use your E), they take damage and are slowed.
- Box dies, either by them killing it or duration running out.
- You won the trade, rinse and repeat.
Basically, every time they try to go into brush to use it in their way, they get punished for it. You should (in theory) totally ruin their lane phase. Shaco isn't the greatest farmer. All 4 of those above champions have some kind of aoe waveclear. Shaco has none. You are however, shutting them down. Rengar and Kha'Zix can't assasinate your team later on if you denied them kills and farm in the laning phase. Once they take some box hits and a few Shivs to the face, you can easily zone them out. They won't go into brush any more. If you killed them once or even twice, then you can zone them even easier. Also, as you are getting a hell of a lot more gold than in the jungle, your late game gets better. When jungling Shaco, the only real item I can usually afford is Statikk Shiv. It costs 2500 gold at the time of writing. 2500 gold is fairly cheap for a laner. Heck, Jax usually goes Trinity (4k-ish) AND Gunblade (3.2k-ish) and he's a top laner that gets lots of kills too. Because you have gold, you can now do more than (maybe) assasinate the support at best.
Shaco is also near-impossible to gank. Ward up your lane if you really feel you have to, butI prefer not to, just so I can waste the enemy jungler's time. Here's how things should proceed if you get ganked:
- Enemy jungler comes into your vision.
- Press Q.
- Gank averted! Flash not even burned!
I don't really have much else to say on this topic. So, I'll just leave you some tips and tricks below.
Tips and Tricks
- ONLY do this as a counterpick. You will fail horribly otherwise.
- ONLY stack boxes on the same spot in late-game when with your team or at level 1. Go into the brush closest to their turret and do it. Stack them in the corner closest to their turret, but also closest to the wall. This means they set them off as soon as they get close, but minions won't set them off coming to lane.
- Shaco is so slippery you don't need Flash. Especially in the lane phase. You could even run something like Ignite/Exhaust for maximum killing potential. I used to run Teleport so I clould port to boxes in brush. Then I found out that Teleport reveals boxes. Even ones in brush when the enemy has nothing in there.
- Muramana is ridiculous on this guy because of his single-target nature. If you do decide to get it, rush Tear, then either upgrade to Manamune straight away or get Statikk Shiv then upgrade to Manamune. This is because Shaco takes a while to stack Tear. It's worth it late-game though once you have SS + Mura + R.
- SS + Sheen/Trinity + IE hurts like hell. Expensive as hell, but try it if you ever get fed.
- I prefer to max E over W in lane. I can hurt more just throwing Shivs whenever I want while boxes rely on being procced. If you max boxes, only for them to stop being effective by level 6, it was a waste. Also, the increased slow on E makes it more likely for me to get a kill when my jungler comes to gank for me.
- Max W if the enemy laner falls for the "box in the brush" trick over, and over, and over again.
- Still max E, even if going AP. It has a 1.0 AP and bonus AD scaling, so it's better to max no matter what you build.
Well, that's just about it for me. See ya, thanks for reading this far and feel free to give me feedback.
TL;DR : You lazy bum. Get reading!

This is a one-shot completely dedicated to BethanyLeeRenner about an OC who captured the attention of a certain assassin.
I hope you all enjoy it!
It was supposed to be just like any other mission - any other day. Just another person who needed to be wiped off the face of the earth. Someone who was a dangerous, potential threat. A life that needed to be lost. And she was just another person standing in the way of his target, it shouldn't have been that difficult. He was used to watching the civilians laugh, smile, joke, and even flirt with the person who he needed dead. And sometimes that one civilian that laughs and smiles and jokes with the target is a beautiful girl, or a young child. But, it's never difficult to work around them and get the job done.
It was easy, really. Just pull back the bow and let the arrow soar through the air and hit the target dead-on, never touching the innocents, and - if he could avoid it - the murder never being seen by them either.
That's what Clint Barton thought for the longest time until he saw her.
She was a quite kind of girl, though, always smiling. She was rather young, probably early twenties. Her dark-brown hair always pulled up in a messy bun, but to Clint, it was down-right sexy. At first glance, the assassin never really though much of her. Like mentioned before, she was just another person standing in the way. But, there was something different about her that caught the archer's eye.
Was it her curled and unruly hair? The way she smiled, or the way she cried? There was one night where she was sitting with several photos spread across her bed, most likely going through memories. She began to cry at one point, sweet, sweet tears that highlighted her fair features. Her eyes were swollen and red, making a stark contrast between her dark hair and light skin. She was the most beautiful thing when she cries.
He'd been watching her for some time now, most likely a few months. It was to the point where it was almost sad. The target was supposed to be dead and gone weeks ago, but, after seeing that certain girl, he just couldn't bring himself to do it. At first it was because he wanted to keep on watching the woman, he wasn't mesmerized, but she sure caught his attention. It was innocent, really. Well, as innocent as it could get when it comes to the assassin.
But, the damn target was still on the loose even though he was right underneath of his nose.
The target that he needed dead just happened to be her father, or that's what the files said. The target's name was Fredric Dolmen. He was an older gentleman who had a late wife who passed years back, and a daughter by the name of Isolde - the same girl he watched. Dolman used to be an info broker for S.H.I.E.L.D. and retired years back, but with recent news, he's been leaking crucial information about the organization that's supposed to be kept secrete. That just won't work, now will it?
For awhile now, Clint's been telling Fury that he has yet to get a clear site of the target. But that's all a lie. Though, he claims it's a little white one, but a lie nonetheless. It's something that needs to stop. But is he willing to stop it?
He's always watching her. He watches her while she eats, sleeps, smiles, reads, and even when she plays with her silly, little video games - something Clint would snort at. It was rather creepy in a sense. But how else would he be able to see her? Every single day, every waking minute, he makes up these little scenarios in his head where he goes down there and introduces himself to her. But, he can't do that. Not in reality, at least. He cannot show himself while the target is alive, and showing himself after he killed him was out of the question.
She seemed quiet close with Dolman. As close as a father-daughter relationship could go. It was a precious friendship, a parental bond that would last out several lifetimes. And Clint couldn't go to her after he destroyed that bond. He's not the type of guy to weigh on the guilt, but he does have his boundaries.
So, he just sits on his perch and watches from afar. Telling himself day after day, that the next time he sees Dolman that is was his last day to live. Fury's been on his ass lately, telling him it's been over three months and the target needed to be dead.
Clint agrees. He's put this off for too long, all because of a pointless dream, with a girl who probably wouldn't want anything to do with her father's murderer. He's not a teenage boy anymore, this has gone too far. He's an assassin that works for an undercover agency and things like this just don't fit in with the job. He needs to shape up and get his shit in gear. Otherwise he'll compromise himself and the mission.
So, that leads us to here. The day he plans on taking Dolman's life once and for all.
Today just happened to be the day that Isolde was sitting outside on the patio with Dolman and another woman who was a family friend. Clint cursed himself in his mind, but he couldn't have a more clearer shot. He didn't want to kill someone, especially her father, in front of the girl. But, he had to. This was the day.
Reaching behind him, Clint grabbed an arrow, placing it in his bow and pulled the string back. He took a breath and locked on to his target. With narrowed eyes he tightened his hold on the bow string. In that split second he thought one last scenario: what if he just put down the bow and walked away?
What if he just gave up everything?
Could he do it?
Could he possible just throw away everything he's worked so hard for?
To betray S.H.I.E.L.D?
To betray the Avengers?
Just for one girl on a whim?
Is it too late for him to start over? To begin a new life? To be able to breathe without worry of giving himself away? In that quiet moment, when everything stood still, Clint could hear her laugh. Oh, what a sweet, melodious laugh it was. It was calling to him. A new life was beckoning him. But, the question still stands: Could he do it?
Still holding his breath, Clint closed his eyes. No. He couldn't. He had too much blood on his hands to even think about living a normal life. He not compatible to fall in love, start a family, to start over. No, he signed his life over when the day, the moment, the second he decided to become an assassin.
But, in that silent moment, he could picture himself falling in love with some girl like Isolde. He could see himself starting a family, a little boy and a little girl who he could call his own. A little miniature version of himself and his beautiful wife. He could almost hear their laughter while they played. While they created memories that someday would bring back tears. Though tears they may bring, they are beautiful, wonderful memories that they made together. . .
Upon opening his eyes, Clint let out his breath softly. He wasn't going to let his mind be plagued with thoughts of what could have been. There's no turning back from where he stands now, and thinking about silly dreams would only compromise him even further than he already is with this woman.
Steadying his grip on the bow, Clint finally aimed directly at Dolman's head. Off to the right, Clint could clearly see Isolde, a small game device in her tiny hands. She was smiling at something her father was saying.
He let go.
The arrow went flying through the air and descending up its target. And just like that Dolman was dead. Clint closed his eyes again but he could still hear the scream that Isolde let off, then her cries. His chest tightened for a split second and he opened his eyes to see those beautiful tears fall down her face as she stood over the lifeless body of her father.
The family friend was too shocked to do much of anything, so she just kneeled next to the crying woman as she shook with such morn of the loss of her only parent. Her chest kept on constricting and contracting as her body completely fell apart while her mind tried to wrap her tiny fingers around what just happened.
She was so beautiful when she cried.
So beautiful.
Tearing his eyes away from the scene, with the most toneless, emotionless voice possible, Clint brought his hand up to his earpiece and said, "Target acquired and taken out."

The Germany legend expressed his excitement at the prospect of seeing the Pole at the Allianz Arena next season, even if it's at the expense of the current No.9
The Borussia Dortmund forward has signed a deal with the Bundesliga champions which will see him move to Pep Guardiola's side at the end of the season.
Beckenbauer, an honorary president for the Bavarians, believes Lewandowski will play a starring role at the Allianz Arena next season and hinted that he is better fitted under Pep Guardiola than Mandzukic.
When asked by 11 Freunde magazine if Lewandowski will make Mandzukic "pack his bags", Beckenbauer replied: "Yes. I assume that Lewandowski will be an immediate hit.
"His style fits Guardiola's tactics better that a pure box striker like Mandzukic. Plus, Pep could also put Thomas Muller or Mario Gotze up front."
The 68-year-old also reflected on the superiority that Bayern have shown in the last 18 months and believes it will continue for many seasons to come if they can keep adding world-class players to their squad.
"They are very hard to beat, no doubt about it," Beckenbauer said. "Especially if they keep reinforcing like they do. And they will!
"Pep Guardiola is the perfect coach and Matthias Sammer wakes them up if they're too relaxed. There is enough competition within the squad so they can be successful in all competitions. I do not see why that should change in the next years."

As an American Gen X cinephile, I have basically had no choice in my life but to watch the Academy Awards every year. Growing up I watched it yearly, and I listened to my father's thoughts on the subject. We would compare notes on what we knew about the movies being presented, and the interesting movies that we had seen tended to get ignored. There was a voting code that the Academy was using, and we just couldn't crack it.
Every year that I have watched the Academy Awards I have felt unfulfilled and dissatisfied afterward. This year was more of the same. The Hugh Jackman show was painful. Song and dance routines further drive people like me into channel surfing of playing Animal Crossing on VIDEO 2. The Academy Awards is really speaking a language that I understand less and less as I grow older. The show is the equivalent of eating a bag of Halloween candy for dinner. Yes, you chewed, swallowed and it all tasted good, but now you feel like trash. You could have eaten something better. And as always, post-81st Academy Awards I feel like trash. Again I have that sense that I went through a grueling three hours and I have nothing to show for it. Again I am dissatisfied. But the more I think about it, it may not have all been a COMPLETE waste of time. I think I may have cracked the code.
Every year I have watched the Academy Awards hoping for honesty and truth. Every year since 1977 when Star Wars dominated, I have felt that there was a code governing the Academy voters that I couldn't crack. This is a code that seems to take more into account than just the merits of the films and performances nominated in a given year.The Academy evaluates film in a way that differs from everyone I know. Lifetime achievement is an award that is given, but actors are sometimes snubbed for years and then given an award for a sub-par performance when they should have been given the award years before. There is the quality of the performances to consider, but other factors are pulled in that sway the votes. Social consciousness, political flavors of the moment and sentimentality are all seemingly considered in the allocation of awards.
SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE swept the awards, and in the end, it all makes sense. Sentiment and social consciousness are factors that drove SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE into the number one spot this year.
So when I saw Ben Kingsley speaking to Mickey Rourke and telling him that he'd done a great job with THE WRESTLER and Mickey's hands were shaking with anticipation, I felt that I could see it clearly. Mickey Rourke was to be awarded for time served. I felt that his body of work was going to be respected along with his powerhouse performance. Where I was wrong was that the political flavors of the moment and sentiment were what pushed an Oscar in Sean Penn's direction. Judged solely on the merits of acting, Rourke vs Penn was a draw. The outside forces that help shape the votes were what won over in this case. This isn't really about acting, this is subjectivity at its greatest and personal preference when it is most strong. I cracked the code, I just guessed wrong.

If you suffered through the 3 hr. Hugh Jackman singalong you saw a 3 minute clip at the end previewing movies coming out this year. Some are trash, some are polished trash, and all of it is worth watching at least once.

Sherlock Holmes
Funny People
The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3
Public Enemies
Julie & Julia
The Soloist
Terminator Salvation
500 Days of Summer

text: Hello Guys, I am having my Desire unbranded (From Singapore) running on Froyo and HBOOT 0.93.00001 (It originally had 2.1 but, got the OTA upgrade). When I got the phone 2 months back, everyone said 0.83 can't be rooted etc., etc., and meanwhile FROYO OTA came directly, so I went off line for all this while. Now, when I am thinking of rooting and searching, I find that people now say 0.93 can't be rooted. The only practical approach heard is about downgrading to .80 after which we can use unrevoked and install any ROM we want. So, I thought of going through our dear Legitimate XDA heroes and found multiple threads saying things differently.. This one says we can: [HOW-TO] downgrade HBOOT 0.93 to 0.80 again - xda-developers [HOWTO] Downgrade Froyo (2.2) to Stock 2.1 (ANY HBOOT | WIN/LINUX/MAC | ROOT) - xda-developers But, I read somewhere that 'Anyone using 0.93/0.83 should not downgrade' (Bloody me, I lost the link!!!!!) Nevertheless, my two questions are.. - Anyone followed above methods are happy now? - In case I want to unroot, can I come back to 2.2 Froyo again.. Thank you all in advance!

Adult entertainment (it's not what you think)
What's your idea of a good time? Hitting the town for a night of wining, dining and clubbing? Relaxing in the plush confines of your lounge room, with some takeaway and a state-of-the-art home-entertainment system at your command? Or a cheap'n'cheerful pub dinner followed by a round of pokies? The average Australian adult spends $132 per week on entertainment, but naturally this figure can vary greatly depending on how they choose to entertain themselves.
According to the latest results from Roy Morgan Research, the lion's share of our average weekly spend on entertainment last year went on going out ($71), followed by home entertainment ($47) and gambling ($15). No real surprises there, but a closer look at different segments of the population reveals some interesting variations.
Far from average
Roy Morgan Research's new profiling tool Helix Personas casts a detailed light on Australians' entertainment spending habits, revealing a different side to the story told by the national average figures. As expected, people from the well-off, successfulSmart Money segment spend much more on entertainment than the average Aussie – almost $250 per week, in fact. While their gambling spend is close to average, they spend nearly $125 a week on entertainment at home – more than 2.5 times' the national average.
Average weekly leisure and entertainment spend by Australians 18+
Source: Roy Morgan Single Source (Australia), January 2013 – December 2013 (n=17,761).
Racking up the highest weekly gambling spend by far ($66) are high-income, high-living Young & Platinum individuals, who also spend well over the national average on going out ($114) – although not as much as Social Flyers ($149), whose whirlwind social schedules would make anyone else tired just contemplating them!
Weighing in almost bang on average for weekly entertainment expenditure are Domestic Jugglers — family-focused, financially sensible members of 'middle Australia'. Older, rural and often retired (and living on their pensions), Rural Traditionalists have elevated thriftiness to an art form, spending well below the national average on gambling ($9), going out ($49) and home entertainment ($27). Their suburban counterparts, Twilighters, are similarly budget-conscious, with one key exception: they spend almost three times the national average on gambling per week.
Young, well-educated and multicultural, New Beginnings individuals may not earn much money (yet), but they're confident consumers who like to enjoy life — which translates into an above-average weekly spend on entertainment.
Jane Ianniello, International Director of Tourism, Travel & Leisure, Roy Morgan Research, says:
"While the average Australian spends $132 on entertainment per week, many Australians are anything but average in this respect. Older, less affluent members of society, such as those belonging to the Rural Traditionalist persona, are used to budgeting and generally spend less than average, while younger, more confident groups such as Social Flyers or New Beginnings tend to spend more.
"Established and financially secure, Smart Money see no reason to deny themselves any form of entertainment that takes their fancy, but aren't especially interested in gambling – why rely on Lady Luck when you've made your own, after all?
"Meanwhile, cash-strapped Twilighters spend more on gambling than they do on home entertainment, possibly in the (understandable) hope of some security in their later years. Young & Platinum also over-index on gambling spend, although not for the same reasons. Their penchant for a flutter is more consistent with their overall determination to live life to the fullest.
"Entertainment covers a broad spectrum, with a person's budget, circumstances and preferences influencing what kind of entertainment they go for. By identifying different sectors of the Australian population and understanding their respective entertainment priorities, marketers stand a greater chance of reaching the most receptive audience with their offering."

Not every couple is able to conceive on their own. In some cases, people must turn to fertility clinics. Thankfully, there are a number of clinics that can help you to achieve your dream of becoming a parent.
You may be interested in private fertility clinics. When you go to a private clinic, you will be able to get more rapid treatment than you would at an NHS clinic.
With that said, finding and choosing the right clinic can be something of a challenge. Here are a few of the things you should to keep in mind:
Find A Clinic That Values Your Business
Fertility treatments certainly aren't cheap. If you are going to be spending money at a fertility clinic, you will want to feel like that clinic has made you a priority.
If you feel like you are being treated poorly by a clinic, then don't be afraid to take your business elsewhere. If a clinic isn't treating you well, it is possible that they won't be able to do everything that you need them to do.
Find A Clinic With An Excellent Track Record
Obviously, you want to work with a clinic that is going to be able to help you to conceive. If you have serious fertility issues, you will want to go to a clinic that has been able to help people like you.
Try to learn more about a clinic's reputation. See if they can provide testimonials, or references from some of their past clients. Check to see if they will be able to give you what you need.
Seek Out A Clinic With Reasonable Prices
Fertility treatments can be extremely expensive, especially when you are paying for all of those costs out of pocket. With that said, these sorts of treatments aren't necessarily going to be out of reach for you.
Before making a decision, you should take the time to compare prices of various fertility treatments. Most clinics should be able to share information about the price list for things like egg sharing, as well as the rates charged for other types of treatments.
If you need help conceiving, a private fertility clinic will be able to give you exactly what you need. Take time to learn more about the private clinics that serve people in your area. You should be able to find a clinic that can help you make your dreams of parenthood into a reality.

Embedded Systems
Students of Embedded Systems studies need not worry about paying for over-priced textbooks anymore – renting textbooks is an option! Embedded Systems textbooks – for example Introduction to Embedded Systems by [Mr Shibu K V], and Computer Organization and Embedded Systems by [Carl Hamacher] – are often some of the most frequently updated books by Publishing companies. The field of Embedded Systems is constantly changing, and new editions can come yearly and at a huge cost to students who continually buy new books. So why buy when you can rent cheap textbooks? There are plenty of Embedded Systems books to rent – BookRenter has of them all!
Used book sales can be a cheap option as well, but often can be more expensive than textbook rentals. However, there are very few return policies with used books, and especially when taking Embedded Systems classes, buying a used book can be dangerous and costly.

WINNING The Voice appears to have come at a cost for Karise Eden.
We hear the talented 20-year-old is struggling with the fame and gruelling schedule following her win.
At her Nova Red Room performance a week ago, onlookers observed a shy and stressed singer, who wasn't comfortable having her picture taken. "She's very shy," one source said.
"It is all really new to her."
Eden's awkwardness is understandable given just a year ago she was living in a women's shelter, having had a troubled childhood.
Since winning The Voice, Eden has undergone a whirlwind of promotion, conducting radio, television, magazine and print interviews.
Record label Universal Music has been extremely protective of the young singer, carefully orchestrating interviews to ensure she's not uncomfortable.
She's now on a break, last week going home to the NSW central coast for the first time since winning the show mid-June.
Before taking a three-month holiday, Eden said: "I think the first couple of days I'm just going to stay inside and barricade myself off and turn the phone off and just relax.
"It has been such a crazy few months. It will be good to sit back and think about, wow, what has just happened?"

German carmaker Volkswagen has pulled off a magic to sell vehicles during the first half of 2016 despite the Diesel Gate scandal. The German carmaker has outsold Toyota in H1 of 2016 to become the best selling brand globally.
In the first half of 2016, Volkswagen sold 5.1 million vehicles globally and also posted 1.5 percent growth. Toyota on the other hand, managed to sell 4.9 million vehicles globally and also posted a decline of 0.6 percent sales compared to last year.
Volkswagen's Diesel Gate scandal would have affected the carmaker, but Volkswagen managed to sell numbers by offering discounts. Also, the demand for VW badged car have declined, but other brands under Volkswagen such as Audi, Porsche, and Skoda registered strong demand.
The carmaker is facing lawsuits in various countries around the world, but is still determined to end the year by selling more units compared to last year's 9.9 million units. Although sales numbers may look good, financial situation is expected to be bad for Volkswagen.
Coming to Toyota's performance, the Japanese carmaker suffered loss of production, which has directly reflected on the company's sales.

This is GLEIF
Established by the Financial Stability Board in June 2014, the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) is tasked to support the implementation and use of the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI). The foundation is backed and overseen by the LEI Regulatory Oversight Committee, representing public authorities from around the globe that have come together to jointly drive forward transparency within the global financial markets. GLEIF is headquartered in Basel, Switzerland.
GLEIF is a supra-national not-for-profit organization making available the only global online source that provides open, standardized and high quality legal entity reference data. GLEIF is, by its statutes, agnostic to any particular commercial or political interests. GLEIF is uniquely positioned in the entity identification market.
GLEIF mission
GLEIF manages a network of partners, the LEI issuing organizations, to provide trusted services and open, reliable data for unique legal entity identification worldwide.
Following the financial crisis, the goal of the drivers of the LEI initiative - the Group of 20, the Financial Stability Board and many regulators around the world – was to use the LEI to create transparency in the derivatives markets. As demonstrated with the current LEI population, these efforts have generated excellent results. To date, LEIs have been assigned to legal entities based, primarily, in the U.S. and Europe where regulations require the use of LEIs to uniquely identify counterparties to transactions in regulatory reporting. Public authorities in these jurisdictions rely on the LEI to evaluate risk, take corrective steps and, if required, minimize market abuse and improve the accuracy of financial data.
This said, we are convinced that broad LEI adoption will also generate significant advantages for the wider business community.
GLEIF services
GLEIF services ensure the operational integrity of the Global LEI System and facilitate making the LEI a broad public good. As a result, the LEI remains the industry standard best suited to providing open and reliable data for unique legal entity identification management.
- Accreditation of LEI issuers: In its role as accreditation agency, GLEIF evaluates the suitability of organizations seeking to operate as issuers of LEIs. LEI issuers supply registration, renewal and other services, and act as the primary interface for legal entities wishing to obtain an LEI. Accreditation is a rigorous evaluation process carried out by GLEIF. Candidate organizations must meet the requirements set out in the Master Agreement, which is the contractual framework governing the relationship between GLEIF and LEI issuing organizations.
- Access to the complete global LEI data pool is free of charge to users: GLEIF makes available the Global LEI Index, which offers information, updated daily, on all LEIs issued to date. It is the only free online source that provides open, standardized and high quality legal entity reference data with the potential to capture any entity engaging in financial transactions globally. Any interested party can easily access and search the complete LEI data pool free of charge using the web-based LEI search tool. The LEI data pool consists of the publicly available information on legal entities identifiable with an LEI. In addition, GLEIF publishes the GLEIF Concatenated Files daily. They contain the content of the individual files, published by the LEI issuing organizations, which list all LEIs issued to legal entities and related reference data.
- Data quality management: The data quality management program, introduced by GLEIF, optimizes the integrity of the LEI data pool. Based on a set of clearly defined criteria, the program allows the quality of the LEI data pool to be monitored, assessed and further optimized. The monthly reports issued by GLEIF reflect the very high level of data quality already achieved in the Global LEI System.
- Commitment to open data principles: GLEIF has endorsed the International Open Data Charter, which aims to foster greater coherence and collaboration to promote the increased adoption and implementation of shared open data principles, standards and good practice across sectors around the world.

Cycling '74 Releases Cycles: 04 Momentary IncursionsFourth in cycles series of audio source libraries completes the set (May 27, 2005)
Cycling '74, a software company based in San Francisco, today announced the release of Momentary Incursions, the fourth volume in the Cycles series of audio source libraries.
Produced and edited by sound designer Ron MacLeod, Momentary Incursions consists of hits, events, effects and transitions for use when a more finite punctuation is needed. This collection of 900+ non-looped samples range from a fraction of a second to over a minute in length. Momentary Incursions features collections of single events for audio signposting, transitional sonic elements for tails, builds, and textures, and shorter "hits" that can be used to mark audio terrain and provide a unique identity. Momentary Incursions completes the first set of Cycles audio libraries and was produced with the same attention to sonic detail as the initial three releases. All releases feature a theme of "incidental de-construction" that groups audio source material in terms of its dramatic function instead of a conventional genre-based approach.
* Cycles: 01 Sustained Encounters - long textural beds
* Cycles: 02 Unnatural Rhythm - alternative rhythmic source
* Cycles: 03 Incidental Gesture- active sonic storytelling
* Cycles: 04 Momentary Incursions - hits, events, FX and transitions
The set is specifically designed to encourage experimentation and inspire the orchestration of sonic imagery, adding a cinematic storytelling quality to any composition or multimedia production.
These 24bit .wav files are provided in 48kHz for ease of use in Film, DV and multimedia productions, as well as 44.1kHz versions for direct compatibility with music composition tools. Each volume is packaged as a dual-disc release created with the audio post-professional in mind-a high capacity DVD-ROM, along with a standard audio CD for an easy auditioning alternative.
Cycling '74 has tapped sound library pioneer Ron MacLeod, creator of the award winning 'Poke in the Ear' libraries, to produce and curate the Cycles series. This new series focuses on the use of cutting edge psycho-acoustic manipulation utilizing Cycling '74's innovative processing tools-Max/MSP, Pluggo, Mode, Hipno and Radial.
The Cycles series complements Cycling '74's creative and unique software and music releases with libraries of sound effects, ambient sound, rhythmic loops and incidental music for use by musicians, sound designers and media producers.
Momentary Incursions is now available directly from Cycling '74 and its dealers for MSRP US $99.00.
About Cycling '74
Cycling '74 creates and distributes Mac OS and Windows software for audio, video, and multimedia innovators. Products include the Max/MSP/Jitter graphical programming environment, the Pluggo collections of Max/MSP-based audio plug-ins, the Radial loop-based composition and performance system, and the interactive algorithmic composition program M. Cycling '74 also releases creative musical and multimedia works through their c74 recording label and audio source libraries for musicians, sound designers and media producers through its Cycles series. http://www.cycling74.com

Acceptable Use Policy- YOUR NOT SAFE!!!
Quest 5 safe and secure
ACA Technology Ownership- This basically means that anything that was created on ACA networks is the property of ACA and not its creator(s), the problem with this is that if the content damages the reputation or physically damages ACA, the creators are held accountable! That is simply unfair!
System Security- This means that if you harm the ACA network or post ACA information on non-Aca websites you will be punished. This is bad because internet hackers have tools to cover up their act and/or blame it on someone else, and this
Intellectual Property and Privacy- This is the big one. This means if you log in as another student and/or harrass them and/or post bad language you will be punished. But the way the internet works, you can never know who does something, so people can be blamed wrongfully.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini on Verizon is getting an update to Android 4.3, along with support for the Galaxy Gear smartwatch as expected. So it's a pretty major update for the handset. Also bundled with the update are some customary bug fixes, a new set of bloatware apps as Verizon usually likes to add and some improvements to ISIS Mobile Wallet as well as 4G LTE connectivity on the smartphone. The update can be downloaded manually by hitting the Settings menu and navigating to About Phone and then tapping System Updates.
Since this is the Android 4.3 update (build VRUAMK5) there are some Samsung specific tweaks involved as well. So it is advised to remain on a Wi-Fi network before downloading the update, just to be safe. The Galaxy S4 Mini isn't a popular smartphone by any means, but is still one of Samsung's supported devices of the year. The Galaxy S3 Mini from last year is almost non-existent in the market now and we can expect the Galaxy S4 Mini to see the same fate in about six months.

Finally, an Easy-to-Use A Cappella Website for Electronic Producers
The process of finding a cappellas—much less quality ones—to use in productions is similar to trying to find affordable housing in San Francisco. OK, slight exaggeration, but most sites offering a cappellas are generally a major pain to navigate and limit the amount you can download in a month. Enter Voclr.it.
Seemingly set up for the electronic music set, the site offers exactly what producers have been searching for: an easy-to-navigate site featuring quality a cappellas, from good to excellent, for free. You can do a standard search or you can opt for searching by key or BPM, an invaluable tool for any creator.
They also offer a subscription-based service that allows you to preview a cappellas before you download and to build custom playlists for easy online sorting. While this is probably going to make it easier to make bootleg remixes, I'm not exactly sure where they will be posted. (Cough, cough SoundCloud).Music Industry Show more

So I fear many people will stumble across this problem. But I have one question: if we don't allow to mix different event types in a single pipeline (and I guess by event types we mean sax, dom, stax) why do we have a generic pipeline interface? Wouldn't it be better/easier to have a sax pipeline, a dom pipeline, a stax pipeline, perhaps sharing a common interface? Carsten -- Carsten Ziegeler email@example.com

» We enjoyed a complimentary meal at Yo! Sushi for the purpose of this review. As always, all comments and opinions are fair, honest and completely my own. «
Konnichiwa (こんにちは) my lovelies or should I just say 'Hello' 😉
As you know, I have well and truly plonked myself in the deep end this year and decided to go completely cold-turkey on everything meat, fish and dairy-related for Veganuary.
I am actually finding it surprisingly easy to really enjoy my meals and feel satisfied with my food which is a HUGE relief. Things like this are so much easier to stick to when you're having fun and feeling happy about what you're doing aren't they?
There's so many really scrummy vegan recipes flying around (try Honest Mum for crackers like Nigella-inspired oat pancakes and chickpea curry) and if you want to eat out there's more choice than ever nowadays.
Take Yo! Sushi* for example. We were invited to their Manchester Arndale branch today to feast on their vegan range and I was delighted to see that it is really quite extensive with over 14 vegan-friendly dishes – both sweet and savoury!
When we arrived at the restaurant we were greeted by a really lovely lady, Emma, who seated us and offered to get a highchair for Lily. She was very friendly, helpful and full of smiles for both us and Lily setting a calm, relaxed atmosphere for our meal.
However, there was nothing calm and relaxed about Lily and although she usually sits quite happily with us when we eat out – engrossed with her toys, whatever she is munching on herself or by us chatting to her – today she was not amused and kept the poor helpers over at Yo Sushi! on their toes as they were constantly picking up her spoons, toys and beaker which she continued to throw over the sides of her highchair in protest at…well, to be honest we still don't know what she was unhappy with!
She did cheer up a bit later on though.
She was briefly entertained by the chopsticks and wooden spoons we gave her and I must admit she was peaceful for a few moments here and there when trying the little portions that we gave to her from this scrummy collection of these vegan goodies:-
*All prices (some are promotional, see below) and nutritional values correct as of 7th January 2016*
The miso soup comprises of tofu, spring onion and seaweed. It is very light and you can have as much as you like!
The cucumber maki looked really simple and I was expecting plain flavours but it was really quite gorgeous. The rice was soft and sticky and the cucumber was refreshing together with the seaweed wrap.
The firecracker rice was a favourite for both of us. Full of flavour and with just the right amount of heat – it was absolutely delicious. I spotted loads of veggies in the rice including spring onion, carrot, red onion, peppers and green beans.
This is the only thing that we didn't completely demolish! The edamame was quite tough and chewy so it just wasn't for us.
This tasted like tomato and herb noodles (with added vegetables). Again, it had tons of flavour and went down really well with us!
The aubergine was sweet and roasted to a texture quite like stewed apples. I mopped up the soy sauce which soaked in perfectly and the topping of cress and spring onion brought a subtle savoury balance to the dish.
Lily loved this and gobbled her piece up in a heartbeat. The pumpkin was soft and super yummy and it tasted like it had way more calories in than it actually did!
I didn't know how these were going to taste as I've never had them before and it turns out it's a sweet casing with rice inside, like sweet dumplings. They were served chilled and we really enjoyed them.
The vegetable gyoza looked SO good that I forgot to take a photo until we'd eaten two of them already! Ooops!
These were like spring rolls with a tasty thin batter enveloping the crunchy vegetable mix inside. They were served hot and we loved them.
For both of us, this was the highlight of the meal (although it was all very tasty!)
We shared all of the dishes and when this came out it was all shifty eyes and glares – an argument could of easily broken out I think!
This was recommended by Emma and she confirmed that the tempura batter is now cooked without animal products so the dish is completely vegan.
You might expect this to be bland being tofu (which usually absorbs the flavours of the ingredients around it) but it was delicious and melted in the mouth. The batter was golden and crisp and the curry tasted like chipshop curry, it was beautiful!
So, for less than £30 for both of us, we had a mini banquet – just look at all those empties! I think we had more or less every vegan dish on the menu!We were very impressed with the prices overall but what's really good about Yo Sushi! this month is that from Monday 4th to Friday 29th January they've picked a whopping 42 of their best dishes for their 'Happy Month' promotion offering each plate at just £2.70 each.
What I would say is that the menus provided don't actually have a vegan label for the dishes although it does have symbols to show which meals are vegeterian or contain nuts.
I had quickly glanced at the website before our visit so I had a vague idea of what was vegan (view the complete list here) and the site also has full details as to allergens and nutritional values.
I whipped out my pen and just quickly went through circling or ticking the plates that we could eat so we could choose what we wanted without getting confused as to whether it would be suitable for us.
The menu itself was simple and colour-coordinated with the prices easily identifiable.
If you've not been to Yo! Sushi before then the concept is that you just grab what you want from the conveyer belt which follows a path around the tables in the restaurant. Each dish is a different colour which represents the relevant pricing band.
It's also a little difficult to identify the vegan meals from the conveyer belt so to be on the safe side we ordered most of our dishes from the servers to make sure we didn't make any mistakes.
All you do is press the 'help' button on the table and the cutest Japanese voice shouts out your table number so that somebody can come and attend to you.
The table itself is set out well with an array of wooden cutlery – normal chopsticks, wider chopsticks and spoons – together with pickled ginger, soy sauce and sauce dishes, wasabi, napkins etc.
There is fizzy/still water available via small taps on the table for just £1.20 with unlimited refills.
However we fancied a change so for this meal Mike had a sprite and I had a diet coke for £2.40 each.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that Yo! Sushi now offer takeaway delivery from your local restaurant. How did I not know this? 😮 Why not check out their Yo! To Go menu and find your nearest branch? I had a nosey earlier and it's through JustEat so they already have my details for quick and easy ordering.
We were very, very impressed with Yo! Sushi and their vegan range. It was so tasty that, as ex-meat-eaters, we didn't miss it at all even when it was sneaking past us on the conveyer belt.
It's dishes like these that showcase just how flavoursome and fulfilling a vegan diet can be and the value for money was incredible!
We can't wait to go back and enjoy our next meal at Yo! Sushi sometime soon (maybe Valentine's Day? *hint hint*)
Have you been to Yo! Sushi recently?
What's your favourite dish?

Niger-Delta militant, Asari-Dokubo, says with the defeat of President Goodluck Jonathan, he and other militants may be forced to return to the creeks. He said it was the struggle of the militants that led to the Jonathan presidency. Asari-Dokubo said since the South-South had lost the presidency, ex-militants would meet to decide the next line of action.
In a statement made by Asari-Dokubo's spokesperson, Rex Anighoro, that it was unfair that the minorities were being emasculated by the majority ethnic groups.
"The conditions that advanced the need to embrace the creeks have been sadly re-energised. It is clear that a vicious government who may maim and murder the voice of the so-called minorities may have just been birthed. "While President Jonathan enjoys his moments and basks in the euphoria of a new world-renowned statesman having congratulated Muhammadu Buhari, we must quickly be reminded that our struggle was never about Jonathan or about the presidency.
"President Jonathan is an establishment beneficiary of our struggle, our sweat and blood that many bled and died for. He was never in the struggle and he can never wish away our collective march for statesmanship.
"Yes indeed, to an extent, he was a mitigating factor in self-determination pursuit as we went on sabbatical. This mitigation he seems to have willingly repudiated. The days coming will be critical. We shall study all the conditions and consult widely before determining the way forward for our collective existence and survival as a people. The days coming shall either drive the quest of integration or further separate us."
