Reader Recommends | Quirky Best FriendsRamblings on Readings where we recommend 3-5 books (or more!) based on certain given topics. This is a great way to see what other readers are enjoying in your favorite genres, or maybe find a new favorite series!
This Week's Topic: Quirky Best Friends
They're always there to make a snarky remark when the main character is feeling down. They usually have crazy fashion, an adorably nerdy boyfriend, and best of all, they're fabulously loyal to their best friends. Which quirky best friends are your favorites?
It's been a while since I read these books, so I'm not even going to try to give an accurate summary on these Best Friends, but I am going to link their names to a character description I found online.
Each of these Best Friends is eccentric in their own way, and their loyalty and love for their best friend is strong and undeniable. I would totally want each of them as my BFF!

Dr. Zinshteyn [HHMI Fellow] is using a combination of high-throughput genetic and biochemical techniques to identify the fundamental mechanisms underlying a process called nonsense-mediated decay (NMD). NMD enables cells to detect and destroy messages that are the result of potentially damaging genetic mutations. This process augments many genetic diseases and is important for cancer cells to adapt to the hostile tumor environment.

General Information
Unlike in previous games, enemies in Dark Souls II all have a set number of times that they can respawn. Once an enemy is defeated a certain number of times, they will not respawn unless a NG+ cycle is started, or a Bonfire Ascetic is burned in the area's bonfire. Some enemies, such as phantoms, will not respawn more than once in NG, but will respawn 12 times for each NG+ cycle thereafter (needs testing). Bosses will not respawn until a NG+ cycle is started or a bonfire ascetic is used. Note that using a bonfire ascetic can increase the number of enemies in an area, such as the skeletons in the basement of Majula Mansion. (needs testing).
Due to the overhauled respawning system, farming items or souls is far more difficult than in previous games, however progressing through a level that you would not usually be strong enough to get through is much easier, as each time an enemy is killed incremental progress towards that area becoming safer is garnered. However, if farming for items is your wish, it is possible to make enemies respawn endlessly, through joining the Company of Champions, which will cause all normal enemies (any that respawn the full 15 times under normal circumstances) to respawn endlessly, even if the covenant is joined after they stopped respawning originally.

|Should cheerleaders be removed? Korea Times file
By Dong Sun-hwa
After a cheerleader for a professional baseball team revealed she had been sexually harassed several times, calls have been growing for the removal of all cheerleaders.
The controversy began on Monday when Hwang Da-goun, 18, a cheerleader for the Samsung Lions baseball team, uploaded on her Instagram a screenshot from Ilbe Storage, a far-right website, which sexually harassed her.
"I like this job, but is this the price that I have to pay," wrote Hwang. "I cannot even look at comments on the internet because they are too filthy ― sexual harassment has gone too far."
Hwang added that she felt sorry for her parents who might see such offensive posts.
|Cheerleader Hwang Da-goun. Capture from Hwang's Instagram
After her post, other cheerleaders began speaking out. Shim Hye-sung, Hwang's colleague, wrote on her social media: "Maybe we have no human rights at all ― the right to say that we have been damaged, and that we are victims."
Her remarks are seemingly aimed at those online users who claim the cheerleaders are to blame for the harassment because they perform while wearing revealing outfits.
Another cheerleader, Park Hyun-young, commented, "We did not become cheerleaders because we wanted to physically reveal ourselves ― please be aware that there are dozens of people who do cheerleading because they are fond of dancing and love to be on the stage."
All three cheerleaders have deleted their posts.
However, a national petition calling for their removal began on Tuesday, with more than 900 people supporting it as of Thursday.
A petitioner wrote: "Cheerleading can spark a dispute over commercialization of sex. It is not an indispensable component of sports games, and there are even some minors who are involved in the job."
But numerous cheerleaders and netizens insist the problem originated with perpetrators, and that the victims should not be blamed.

What You Missed: Continuing from Defenders #7, the team confronts Deadpool and the Punisher. Meanwhile, Diamondback continues to push forward and make moves in his bid for complete control of Hell's Kitchen including everything—and everyone—within.
Summary: This was a great issue, especially from Diamondback's point of view. For part of the issue, they delved deeper into his backstory and detail some of the past events on where he got his start in in the business. They show how he went from a very green and wet behind-the-ears thug to a serious contender for ownership of Hell's Kitchen. In his account, he mentions The Kingpin as well, linking their experiences together on their way up the criminal enterprise ladder.
Diamondback has a way with words as he knows what to say and can still reach people who appear to be disenfranchised and had issues with the past regime. He shows that while he has a mean streak, he can be charismatic when it comes to rallying people to his cause. In this issue, we see this in full view as he attempts to talk some folks into taking on the Defenders. Speaking of the heroes, they reached a new understanding which I won't spoil here. They had a hurdle of sorts that was mentioned in a few issues before this involving trust that they end up conquering as a team.
Deadpool is in this issue as well and is his usual funny self, though honestly, I would have sacrificed him for more developmental time for the heroes' crew. He still is a welcome addition either way and another cameo makes this a can't-miss issue for me. I wish there was more Punisher though, but aside from that, I have no real problems; this was one of my favorite issues though I'm not sure if it tops the last one with the great Iron Fist vs Elektra fight.

They also set up a stage near the main entrance to Heliopolis Sporting Club, opposite Gate 4 of the palace.
Meanwhile, the security presence in the area is increasing as five Central Security Forces (CSF) trucks and a fire-extinguishing vehicle stand at Ittihadeya.
Similarly, the number of tents in Cairo's central Tahrir Square has increased to 150 after thousands staged an anti-Morsi demonstration Friday afternoon.
Meanwhile, Morsi's supporters, mainly of Islamist groups, continue their sit-in at Rabaa El-Adawiya Mosque in Cairo's Nasr City district.
Thousands staged a rally there Friday asserting Morsi's right to continue his term as president until the next elections, scheduled for 2016.
The open-ended demonstration, called for by 40 Islamists parties and groups — spearheaded by the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, from which Morsi hails — is being held under the banner, "Democratic legitimacy is a red line."
Egypt is anticipating mass nationwide protests Sunday aimed at bringing down Morsi and calling early presidential elections. The call for protests was first made by the Rebel campaign aimed at collecting 15 million signatures withdrawing confidence from Morsi. The campaign is backed by major opposition groups, including the National Salvation Front (NSF).
Tensions have been building between supporters and opponents of the president. Clashes broke out in several governorates over the past week leaving at least five dead, including two in Mediterranean city of Alexandria on Friday's protests there.
A three-hour speech by Morsi Wednesday night called for national reconciliation but was not well-received by the opposition.

If you have noticed a pattern between feeling depressed and the particular time of year, you may have Seasonal Affective Disorder. For example, you may notice that you get depressed every fall or winter and that the depression disappears in the spring. Less commonly, a person gets depressed every summer and feels better in the fall.
What is seasonal affective disorder?
Seasonal affective disorder often looks like:
- Feeling sluggish or slow
- Sleeping too much
- Eating more than you need to feel full
- Gaining weight
- Craving carbohydrate-rich foods
We're not sure why, but young people and women are more likely to be diagnosed with Seasonal Affective Disorder.
If you have seasonal affective disorder, you may feel stress and that you can't manage yourself when these periods come on. It is very difficult to work and socialize.
What can help prevent seasonal affective disorder?
Bright light therapy
Bright white or blue light first thing in the morning can help your body adjust to the changing seasons. You need a particular type of light and you need to use it in a particular way. Research studies generally use a flourescent light box that produces full spectrum visible light from 5000 to 10000 lux. You don't have to stare right at the light source, but the light does need to enter your pupils. Do this every morning for 30 minutes.
Dawn simulation therapy
A different type of light therapy works by gradually increasing the intensity of light in your bedroom every morning. Dawn simulation light therapy may make it easier to wake up and give you more energy in your morning.
Melatonin is a natural hormone your brain produces every evening when it gets dark out. Melatonin prevents over excitement, and promotes (but does not induce) sleep. It's best to take melatonin 30-60 minutes before sleep. It's important to reduce bright lights and especially blue lights before sleep as well, to help your brain and body get back to the natural rhythm of sleep.
Mental health counseling
Talking with a counselor can help you notice your feelings as they change when the seasons change. You can collaborate on how best to take care of yourself to prevent seasonal changes from disrupting your life, as well as manage your symptoms when they're at their worst. You can also practice communicating with your loved ones to ask for help and support when you need it.
Take care of yourself!
Seasonal changes are hard for a lot of people. It's important to have compassion for yourself, find ways to nurture yourself, and connect with others for support. We can help you explore different ways to take care of your body, mind, and spirit. Don't hesitate to contact us today for a free 10 minute consultation.

Our Intermediate Acoustic Worship Guitar DVDs have been awarded a Best of the Best Award by Worship Leader Magazine.
Worship Leader Magazine said:
"For better or worse, the acoustic guitar is the place most aspiring worship musicians go first. So the Intermediate Acoustic Worship Guitar DVD is a welcome addition in the Musicademy suite of tools for worship musicians. This course is a total of seven hours long and gives you enough to work on for about a year. Not a bad way to get your skill up, or invest in that next generation of guitarists who could benefit from some solid musical skill and great worship insight."
The DVD has also had a great independent review by Kim Gentes, Editor at worshipmusic.com who writes:
Worship leaders and acoustic guitar players need to be wary of a major illness that can infect their playing. This malady is called complacency. It comes to rest all too often on rhythm acoustic guitar players, especially worship leaders. But fortunately there is a cure. And it comes in a nice, low calorie package. It is "Intermediate Acoustic Worship Guitar".
When I began watching this DVD set to help understand what it was, I quickly realized this was more than a 1 hour DVD with a few "tricks and tips". Instead, "Intermediate Acoustic Worship Guitar" is a complete, and fully featured 7 hour course that will revamp and energize your acoustic guitar skills. This is a resource that is meant for rhythm players, and especially worship leaders. In fact, much of the items covered in the course, targets common applications for worship leaders such as fresh strumming patterns for common worship song rhythms. But the DVD's do not get you bogged down into bastions of skill sets for long periods of time. Instead, like other Musicademy products, this course flows from point to point and interjects interviews, quick tips and concepts that apply to the lessons being learned.
This is a true course, not just a terse summary of best ideas from a guitar guru. But because it is broken into several lessons, this DVD could be used as a weekly teacher. Plug it in for 30 -40 minutes, work through a few lessons. Then work on that for a week. Come back in a week and roll through a couple more lessons. This DVD set works well as a self-paced course that will propel a rhythm acoustic guitar player. The amount of content in the DVD set is so voluminous, you may not believe it- it is over 7 hours (yes, I said seven) of digital video content, across 3 DVDs. The content starts head-on with strumming and moves through that extensively. All the while, the instruction compliments both single instrument and band contexts. In fact, worship leaders will especially appreciate the regular tips explaining how to apply concepts and skills in the worship team/band settings. Most of the strumming patterns actually accompany a drum click pattern that helps the player understand the rhythm context for their strumming patterns being learned.
Topics move on to chord voicings, complex chords, barre chords and picking techniques. Even included are specific flourishes/licks that an acoustic guitarist can learn and put in their toolkit for appropriate settings/use. At first, the DVDs don't tackle classical music terms and foundations (other than timing), but as you work through the course, you learn keys, notes and timing, even Nashville Number system information. All of this would be far too much information, if the course was not well segmented, nicely paced and easy to watch and take at your pace.
While this course is definitely not for the beginning guitar player, it is going to be very effective for those who play well enough to lead worship in a local church context. It will help take those people into an entire new strata of expression on their guitars, by providing very methodical, though engaging, lessons to invigorate their playing. The details about this course are much rather seen than read, so I highly encourage you to view the important video demo that is linked to from this page.
The bottom line- if you are a worship leader, or know a worship leader, this course is a beautiful tool that will help you and work for you in your local church bad context. If you are an acoustic player looking for a sure-fire resource to move you along to the next level- this is it! I highly encourage you to consider the Musicademy: Intermediate Acoustic Worship Guitar resource.

Narrated by David Wenham
The 'medieval world folk' ensemble, La Camera delle Lacrime, joins the Brandenburg in a performance that follows one man's quest to convert the Great Khan to Christianity in the Mongol capital, Karakorum. The man was William of Rubruck, and this theatrical musical voyage is based on his manuscript and itinerarium.
Be transported back to the 13th Century on an expansive musical journey, exploring Christian, Islamic and Eurasian worlds. A small Brandenburg Choir joins La Camera delle Lacrime, who perform on an eclectic range of rare instruments, for a moving performance of forgotten hymns, melodies and chants.
Cross from west to east, from concert hall to theatre – on a mysterious, cultural, and spiritual journey.
"Wonderful expression of world music with the added bonus of Wenham's wonderful narration." Broadway World Australia
English narration by David Wenham
"I wanted to introduce an English narration to guide us through Rubruck's great journey, and I imagined the voice of David Wenham," says Paul. "I'm happy to announce that David Wenham has come on board for this project, which is a dream come true. I'm excited about the chance to collaborate with one of Australia's great acting talents on such a unique and theatrical project." Paul Dyer, Artistic Director
David Wenham is one of Australia's most respected actors, acclaimed for his diverse performances in film, theatre, and television. David's film credits include Lion, Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers and Return of the King, Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Moulin Rouge, and many more.

Concept to Completion of new CrashSpace sign
Have to have:
Remove disinformation
Post logo
Post Name
display open/closed info
tie into calendar
Plan everything so that we can use Boom lift only once to finish assembly
Rachel prepped design and cut files for vinyl sign. Rachel & Steve applied graphics to plexi. Steve secured a cherry picker and had installed by his handy assistant and sign is done. BOOM!
Showed up to Crashspace and acrylic for top sign now on site. The first of two decals has been made already. Will update as progress is made.
A bit delayed in posting but result set is this:
Write up a document stating requested budget and how said budget will be used. This budget is going to cover these things for phase 1: 4 pieces of 4" x 6" x 1/8" white acrylic sheets (Source already identified), Two 4" x 6" vinyl sheets with (re-visioned) form of vertical Crashspace sticker design (design being worked on by one member, another member has source identified for vinyl), and rental for a scissor lift that will allow us to change out the signs safely.
Things still to look into: any issues to do with having a scissor lift on public sidewalk (permits and the like), scissor lift company rental (check 1 and 2 day rental as well as transportation options)
That's status on phase 1. lower sign won't be reviewed until phase one is done, and we'll look more into the interactive details then.

All Saints Lunatic Asylum General Information
This independent walk-through haunted house offers excellent Halloween horror in the high desert of Southern California, about ninety minutes from Los Angeles. Located in a strip mall off Highway 18, it is easy to overlook without the aid of a GPS. The exterior is hardly auspicious, but this is another example proving that one should never judge a book by its cover.
All Saints Lunatic Asylum is open not only for Halloween but also during other holidays: Valentine's Day, Easer, Friday the 13th (not a holiday, per se, but whatever), and Christmas.
Additionally, the proprietors provide Escape Room adventures throughout the year.

Queen's Sports Information
After 45 years of football at the old Richardson Stadium on West Campus, the Gaels said goodbye to the natural grass field and familiar stands at the end of the 2015 season. With pressure to get back into the playoffs after a year hiatus, Queen's finished the 2015 regular season with five wins and home field advantage in the first round of the OUA playoffs.
Despite being ousted by Carleton in the OUA quarterfinals, the Gaels can take pride in having upset the Yates Cup Champion Guelph Gryphons earlier in the year on a record-setting 108 yard touchdown pass from Nate Hobbs to Matteo Del Brocco.
The new Richardson Stadium stands ready for its grand opening on September 17 against the rival Western Mustangs, and this season, Queen's will play on artificial turf at home for the first time in the football team's history. While the offence will be looking for new rushing and receiving leaders, quarterback Nate Hobbs is back as the starter in his third season with the Gaels after finishing 2015 with the fifth-most passing yards in the OUA. Peter Hannon and Matteo Del Brocco are expected to step into top receiving positions after both had solid production last year. On the ground, it's Jonah Pataki's turn to take the starting running back spot in his fourth year with Queen's while the Gaels have depth and options at the position with the likes of returnees Adam Black and Brad Innis. Defensively, the familiar faces at linebacker and in the backfield should overshadow the loss of a couple veteran linemen. Mike Moore, Justin Bowman and Nelkas Kwemo return as anchors in the linebacking core after both finishing among the OUA's top tacklers, despite an injury that sidelined Kwemo for the final three games of the season. The Gaels have a wealth of third-year talent at the defensive back position, highlighted by Jason Shamatutu, Matt Pendergast and Chris Mackey, who all finished with over 35 solo tackles in 2015. "This will be the third year of the current development cycle at Queen's. A number of underclassmen have acquired some significant 'on-the job' training over the past two seasons that should pay dividends this year. We are a work in progress with potential to be in the hunt if we can stay healthy at key some positions." – Pat Sheahan
Head Coach: Pat Sheahan - Number of seasons as head coach with team (including 2016):17 - Number of seasons as head coach in CIS (including 2016): 28 - Career regular season record with team: 80-48 - Career regular season record in CIS: 128-81-1 - Career overall record with team (reg. season & playoffs only): 92-59 - Career overall record in CIS (reg. season & playoffs only): 146-100-1
OFFENCE Number of returning starters: 7 Key returning players: WR Matteo Del Brocco enters his third season with the Gaels and is becoming a prominent target on offence. His one touchdown reception turned heads as he set a new Queen's record on a 108-yard score, helping him earn the highest yards per catch average on the Gaels roster at 23.3. OL Daniel Hayes has started every game for the Gaels during the last two seasons, transitioning from right tackle in 2014 to right guard last year. The 6'4" native of Waterloo, Ont. will be surrounded by familiar faces in his third year on an experienced offensive line. QB Nate Hobbs cracked the OUA top five for passing yards per game (278.3) in his first year as the Gaels starter. In addition to throwing for over 400 yards in a game against Toronto, Hobbs also showed promise on the ground, averaging over 30 yards per game and running in three touchdowns in his second year at Queen's. RB Jonah Pataki enters 2016 as the starting running back for the first time in his four-year Gaels career. After playing in the shadow of Jesse Andrews, Pataki surpassed his teammate in the scoring department, ending last year fifth in OUA rushing touchdowns with six. Key recruits or transfers: Jack Hache (WR), Josh Mosley (OL) Key losses: Jesse Andrews (RB), Curtis Carmichael (WR), Doug Corby (WR), Justin Gleben (FB)
DEFENCE Number of returning starters: 8 Key returning players: LB Nelkas Kwemo missed the final three regular season games of 2015, but still managed to finish second in the OUA with 7.2 tackles per game. Kwemo's outstanding season was highlighted by 12 solo tackles in a single game against Ottawa, a mark that is second only to former Gael Sam Sabourin's 13. LB Mike Moore matched his stellar rookie year, once again leading the Gaels as one of the top 10 tacklers in the OUA. A versatile linebacker, Moore also recorded a sack, a forced fumble, and an interception last year. DL Zac Sauer anchored the defensive line in 2015, getting to the opposing quarterback more than any other Gael to finish in the OUA top 10 with 4.5 sacks. Sauer's 33 tackles in his third year were a career-high, including a nine-tackle performance against Guelph. DB Jason Shamatutu improved his tackling numbers from a stand-out rookie year, finishing last season second on the Gaels roster with 42.5 tackles. Shamatutu's 37 solo tackles leave him tied for seventh in the OUA with fellow Gael DB Matt Pendergast. Key recruits or transfers: Philippe Archambault (LB), Dominic Ciraco (LB) Key losses: Luke Ball (DL), Natu Myers (DL), Corey Flude (DL), Frederic Kinkead (DB)
SPECIAL TEAMS Key returning players: WR/PR Chris Osei-Kusi earned a spot on the OUA All-Rookie team in 2015, despite playing in only five regular season games. In the final two games of the regular season, Osei-Kusi returned one punt for a touchdown and combined for 272 return yards from punts and kickoffs.
Key recruits or transfers: Nick Liberatore (K/P)
Key losses: Dillon Wamsley (K/P), Doug Corby (PR/KR)

Uganda set for Dubai after African win
Uganda have booked their place at the Emirates Airline Dubai Sevens in December as African champions after a sensational win in Nairobi.
While it was business as usual for Hong Kong's men with a second tournament win tightening their grip on the Asia Rugby Sevens Series, a busy weekend of international sevens produced plenty of surprise results elsewhere to underline the competitiveness of the sport.
Perhaps the most eye-catching result came in Nairobi, where Uganda were deserved winners of the Rugby Africa Sevens after beating top seeds Kenya and Zimbabwe en route to the final against Namibia, which they won 38-19.
"It has been long coming and the boys have finally done it after many years," said the Rugby Cranes' coach Tolbert Onyango. "We got hungrier and had the belief after we beat Zimbabwe in our first match."
By virtue of finishing in the top two positions, Uganda and Namibia will represent the continent at the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series Qualifier in Hong Kong next March, with the winner of that tournament gaining core team status for the 2017-18 series.
As African champions, Uganda will also take part in the Emirates Airline Dubai Sevens on 2-3 December as an invitational side. They have been drawn alongside South Africa, USA and Scotland in Pool B. Uganda will also be the invited team for the HSBC Cape Town Sevens a week later.
Defending champions Kenya had to settle for a third-place finish in front of their home support after an emphatic 46-0 win over Madagascar in the bronze medal match, while second seeds and last year's beaten finalists Zimbabwe dropped to sixth.
James Odong and Philip Wokorach played starring roles for Uganda throughout the tournament and the final was no exception. Wokorach, who kicked four conversions, set Odong up for one of his two tries with a beautiful chip and also crossed the line himself as the Rugby Cranes sealed a memorable triumph.
In the Asian Rugby Sevens Series, Hong Kong saw off Sri Lanka in a one-sided final in Incheon, Korea.
The victory was the second in a row for Hong Kong after they romped to the title in the series opener at home earlier this month.
Injuries and a 24-21 loss to hosts Korea in their final pool game disrupted their progress on day one, however they made a real statement of intent in the semi-final with a convincing 29-0 victory against previously unbeaten China.
Sri Lanka beat Korea 26-10 in the other semi-final but were no match for Hong Kong in the title decider, Hong Kong running out 36-0 winners with the outstanding Lee Jones grabbing a brace to finish as top try scorer with seven.
Hong Kong so overwhelmed their opponents that the Sri Lankans failed to cross the halfway line for the entire first half and spent nearly the entirety of the final without the ball.
Gareth Baber's team top the series table with 24 points ahead of Sri Lanka on 20. China and Korea are joint third on 12 points.
Perennial contenders Japan turned in a disappointing performance in Korea, being beaten four times over the weekend before finishing in seventh place.
In the women's competition, China exacted revenge for their defeat to Japan in the series opener in Hong Kong with a 21-14 victory over the Sakura Sevens in a pulsating final.
China scored 190 points with only 10 conceded to set up the re-match with Japan, whose progress to the final, other than a tight 24-12 win against Hong Kong in their concluding pool game, was equally comfortable.
China and Japan - tournament winners when Hong Kong staged the first round of the series earlier this month - are now level pegging on 22 points at the top of the table after two events, with Hong Kong back in third on 16 points.
The finale of the Asia Rugby Sevens Series is in Colombo, Sri Lanka, next month.
Like Japan's women, France fell at the final hurdle in their attempt to win back-to-back tournaments, a victorious Russia claiming the second and final round of the Rugby Europe Grand Prix Women's Sevens Series in Malemort. As a result, Russia were crowned series champions with hosts France finishing as runners-up.
After France claimed the Kazan Sevens title in June, Russia were out to return the favour against a young France side. Despite getting off to a strong start through Charlotte Torres Duxan's early try, France were unable to cope with Russia' pace and power, with the Russians running in 26 unanswered points to claim the title and the overall prize.
England, playing as Great Britain Lions, finished third after a 12-5 win over a spirited Ireland side.

The first great DCEU movie, at least according to critics, has arrived in the form of Wonder Woman. There are a great many reasons that the vast majority of fans and critics are really digging director Patty Jenkins' entry into the modern world of superhero movies, but a lot of that has to do with the fact that the movie isn't overly concerned with setting up other movies. It more or less is its own thing. But that's not to say some Easter eggs weren't squeezed in there. One possible Easter egg from Wonder Woman could actually be hinting at the arrival of a pretty major villain from DC Comics in a future DCEU movie.
Warning: minor spoilers ahead for Wonder Woman. Now, this hasn't been confirmed by anyone at Warner Bros. or anyone who worked on the movie, but a very plausible fan theory has popped up on Reddit, as they often do, suggesting that the movie actually could be hinting at the arrival of Bane. Yes, the very same Bane who one day breaks Batman's back in the comics. So, how do we get to Bane from Wonder Woman? Here's how Redditor Uncrowded_zebra explains it.
"During this movie, as a red herring of sorts, we see Dr. Maru giving Ludenhorff an inhalant that appears to make him stronger including right before his fight with Wonder Woman. There is very little good reason for these scenes, other than to poorly misdirect the viewer, and there could have been better ways of doing so than by cryptic, unexplained chemical inhalant. Which lead me to suspect that the chemist has developed and is supplying Ludenhorff with an early version of the drug which will later be known in the DC universe as Venom. As Dr. Maru survives the film it seems feasible that she, or her research might still be active in Germany during WW2 and that following that war many Nazi party members fled Europe. It is a reasonable leap from there that some of them may have sought shelter in the corrupt island nation of Santa Prisca (birthplace of Bane) and brought with them the secrets of the drug."
Alright, so let's assume that theory is even partially correct. The gas featured in Wonder Woman, even to a more casual DC Comics fan, does sound pretty similar to the Venom that turns Bane into Bane. And this would be a pretty good way to introduce that concept into the DCEU without it feeling all that shoehorned. Plus, Bane has a lot more good grace with fans since Tom Hardy portrayed him in The Dark Knight Rises. For years following his on-screen debut in Batman & Robin, most people wrote him off as a useless, corny bad guy, which isn't really the case in the comics. So it seems likely that he'll show up in one of these movies at some point. Suicide Squad 2? The Batman? Nightwing? There are plenty of options.
For what it's worth, and it probably isn't worth all that much, a recent post from 4chan suggested that Bane was being considered as a villain for Suicide Squad 2. So there's that to consider. If nothing else, this is a pretty clever fan theory. But it could also be a clever way to set something up rather unintrusively for the future of the DCEU. Unlike the email scene in Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice, which was about as heavy-handed as something like that can be. Just don't be too surprised if we see Bane show up in the future and have it call back to Wonder Woman in some way.

Site Name
The site name is a combination of two important parts of Scully's life: science and religion. As a scientist, she looks to facts, to the rational, to guide her beliefs, and as a Catholic, she puts trust in her feelings, her intuition, to guide her faith. Scully demonstrates that both science and religion have strong influences in her life, and in the formation of her as a person and individual.
Current Layout
The current layout (version two) features promotional images of Gillian Anderson as Dana Scully. The pictures were found at Sure Fine Whatever.net. Textures used in the layout are from Tre-Xture.
Site Friendliness
Besides Scully, I am also in love with Mulder and Doggett, and I am very fond of Reyes, Skinner, and the Lone Gunmen. (*glomps Byers*) As such, this site is "friendly" to nearly all the major characters, minus one or two of the "bad guys." (As much as I dislike him, I am occasionally sympathetic towards CSM... but only in "Musings" and "En Ami.")
I am also a die-hard fan of the Mulder/Scully friendship and romance (MSR, I guess), but I have to admit that I find all the one-sided affections for and crushes on Scully amusing, cute, sad, or annoying, depending on who the character is. However, this website accepts all types of Scully-related art and writings, regardless of the pairing (or lack of pairing), so Mulder/Scully, Skinner/Scully, Doggett/Scully, Krycek/Scully, Reyes/Scully, Scully/no one, etc. is all fine and good. <3

Pickthall, M, M: The Quran Translated, V1, [ENGLISH] 16 December 2018
The Quran Translated is an edited version of the classic translation of the Meaning of the Glorious Qur'an by Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall (1875-1936), edited by ICSFP, the Book is available to the public for free.
Pickthall an Englishman who embraced Islam in 1917 traveled widely in the Muslim World. He worked for 15 years with Muslims in the Indian subcontinent as editor of Islamic Culture. Later he served as imam of the London Mosque (Notting Hill).
ICSFP (International Committee for the Support of the Final Prophet) made a committee that revised the whole translation, simplified the style according to modern usage, and replaced words like thou, thy, thine, hast, etc., with their counterparts in use today. Some amendments were also made where considered necessary to reproduce the nearest possible meanings of the Arabic verses. Moreover, the translation of the verse was grouped together subject wise to promote the understanding of the message. To distinguish this translation, after the changes it got through, it is produced by the name The Quran Translated.

Over the holidays Honda began promoting its Honda Accord to the 40s and over crowd, with the Six Million Dollar Man Steve Austin action figure. (Note to self – Honda Accords are now apparently for "old people".) If you remember the show, Steve was a test pilot who was pulled from the wreckage of a horrifying plane crash. With the right technology, and $6 million – $35 billion now if you adjust for inflation – the U.S. federal government was able to rebuild him with bionic parts to be "better, stronger, faster."
Recently, the Southeastern Ohio Regional Medical Center (SEORMC) reached its own Steve Austin moment. After years of constant updates and storage limitations, the medical center's storage infrastructure – made up of VMware and traditional SAN storage devices – was on its last leg. It was constantly running out of storage capacity and frequently needed memory upgrades. And it was taking up way too much room.
A VMware for Microsoft Swap
The Axellio Inc. team worked with SEORMC to rebuild its aging VMware-based infrastructure with a "bionic" FabricXpress™ Windows Server Software-Defined (FX-WSSD) solution. Based on Microsoft Windows Server 2016 and 2019, Axellio's FabricXpress converges storage and server compute. Utilizing a PCIe fabric and up to 72 NVMe SSDs per server (yep – PER SERVER) for performance, bandwidth, density, and cost. FabricXpress powers multi-tenant enterprise workloads with the simplicity and consolidation of HCI. FabricXpress is meeting performance needs in video streaming, machine learning, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, financial market data, defense and intelligence, and the Internet of Things (IoT).
You might simply call it the Cyborg of HCI solutions.
Axellio Inc. replaced SEORMC's 10 VMware hosts and SAN environment, which was taking up 84 rack units of space. The 6 rack unit replacement included switches and a 4-node cluster with 176 CPU cores, 1TB of RAM and 38TBS of NVMe SSD storage.
As a result, SEORMC is saving money by dispensing with its expensive VMware licensing fees for Microsoft Datacenter. Which has a lower licensing cost – and a simple to manage user experience using the Microsoft System Center.
Although Axellio's FabricXpress HCI platform comes in a smaller package, it still provides far more power than what SEORMC was used to, in addition to faster data transfers. Now when they migrate servers to a different host, what used to take 10 minutes only takes 10 seconds. And their server backups that used to take three or four hours now take 12 minutes.
To find out more detail on how and why SEORMC moved to Axellio FX-WSSD to make its IT infrastructure better, stronger, faster – smaller and less expensive, check out the full case study.

I just wanted to let everyone know how proud I am of Ali. I wasn't sure what school would be like for her but I imagined that she would be the trouble maker. I imagined multiple trips to the principal's office for any number of things especially simply not being able to sit still. But she has proved me wrong on all accounts. I love when she proves me wrong by being an angel. She is good in school. She sits quietly on the carpet, puts her pencil down and waits for others to finish and helps the other kids with their homework. She loves everything about school and is very happy to go there every day.
She is learning to read. I am thrilled with being a part of teaching someone to learn to read. It is an amazing process. But sometimes it is difficult when it seems like every day you go over the same words and then you have to go over them again. Today she came home with a book about Clifford. It was not an easy book and we had to read the work list several times until she knew all the words. But when we finally started reading the book she was able to read the words fluently! It seemed like a big break through to me because suddenly she was reading! I love reading and am excited to think of all the books I can share with her. I can hardly wait for her to have the reading fluency to read secret garden, little house on the prarie and the Box Car Children.
Also Ali just started ballet. It was exciting to see her go in to class and behave and listen to the teacher and complete her first class. It is nice to know that she has finally channeled her energy into productive venues like reading, playing and dancing. What an amazing little girl she has become. I am so grateful that Heavenly Father allowed me to be her mother.

text: A few thoughts while in my hotel room and its rainy windy and raw in Montreal!In the playoffs all time, the Canadiens have beaten the Boston Bruins 99 times. Should the Canadiens get swept Wednesday night at Les Cathedral Bell Centre, their 100th season will go up in flames. Sacre Bleu!I said this when the Canadiens and my friend Todd was trynig to foist Carey Price on the hockey world as the next Patrick Roy, 'He has no glove, he is down on his knees too much and when he down there, anything on the ice is fine…anything not on the ice better hit him because he ain't stopping it. And when he gives up those rebounds off those pads like he did Monday night, he is out of position and bang, goal. And a lot of the people up here are saying the first goal by Phil Kessel was flukey. I say an emphatic NO! Top goalies, which he is not, make that save in a big playoff game.Are the Canadiens in hockey shape at all? If you look at each of the first three games and Montreal has come out to skate fast and hit the Bruins and try to intimidate them. Of course the Bruins would have none of it. But after 10 minutes of the first, and the Bruins brush them away like fleas, the Habs crawl back into their shell and are just not into the physical stuff.Remember when the Bruins signed Michael Ryder in the off season. Then he was off to a real slow start and everyone is saying why did they sign him. Well, he only has two game winners against the team that kept him in the doghouse last season and was a healthy scratch for 8 of the Canadiens 12 playoff games last season. Ryder was quite humble after the game saying that "so far, nothing has been accomplished, but it is nice to come back into this building and score a big goal."If you check a few weeks ago, Diehard made his pick for the Georges Vezina Trophy as top goalie for the season. Tim Thomas has done nothing in this playoff to dispel that notion. As I said, he has been solid to great all season and continues to be just fantastic in three games. Making the saves that top goalies in the playoffs make.Last year, Phil Kessel had not yet laced up his skates for a playoff game in the NHL. Since he finally dressed in game 4 of last season's playoff against these same Canadiens, his totals are seven games played, six goals, three assists and a plus three. Just imagine if he wasn't a healthy scratch in those first three games last year. And finally, Diehard hasn't been a huge fan of Dennis Wideman since the trade that sent Brad Boyes to St. Louis. But he has really turned my head around. Dave Corso, a guy I play hockey with regularly has been shouting how great Wideman is but I chalk that up as everyone has someone they really like. I called Dave last night after the second period and told him that Wideman was having a hell of a game and it turned out that I wasn't the only one that recognized that fact. Pat Hickey, Habs beat writer for the Montreal Gazette, picked the three stars of the game. Number three star was Yannick Weber with a goal and an assist. Number two star was Phil Kessel. And the number one star was Dennis Wideman.Outstanding!!!

AIDS as a feminist issue
One drawback, of course, of 'polyandrous motherhood' is the mounting risks of AIDS. Women's sexual transactions and attempts at strategic allocation of their reproductive power are performed in contexts of high level risks and uncertainties, as vividly illustrated in Haram's chapter; risks which are exacerbated by the scaringly rapid spread of HIV/AIDS. The epidemic furthermore is used as a tool in ongoing gender struggles, women being pointed out as the major carriers of the virus, and thus as the contaminators. Most current HIV/AIDS prevention efforts are based on gender stereotypes rooted in the West, i. e. on mainstream notions of male domination and female subordination. Silbersmith (this volume) shows the shortcomings of such campaigns, with the situation of African men taken into consideration. The shortcomings are equally evident seen from the position of African women. With changing socio-economic conditions, traditional African masculinities—based in pre-colonial days on male positions as warriors and cattle herders and later, with increasing money economies from the mid-20th century onwards, on male roles as breadwinners—have been undermined. Nowadays, with increasing unemployment and many men incapable of fulfilling 'traditional' social roles and expectations, "male identity and self-esteem become increasingly linked to sexuality and sexual manifestations" (Silbersmith, this volume). Because of this, AIDS prevention campaigns focused on the ABC of Abstinence, Be faithful and Condom use, are not very likely to be successful; men, who see their masculinity as based on sexual conquests, in line with the Zulu isoka ideal (cf. Hunter 2003) are unlikely to listen to such messages. As for the women, campaigns which do not challenge prevailing gender stereotypes are of little use. Nevertheless, as argued in the chapter by Jungar and Oinas, certain types of HIV/ AIDS prevention research support and maintain prevailing gender stereotypes and power relations. This is the case for example regarding the medical media pet

Cooking Like A Mexican
Machaca is a traditionally dried meat, usually spiced beef or pork, that is rehydrated and then used in popular local cuisine in Northern Mexico and the Southwestern United States. The essence of machaca is an ancient technique to preserve food that has been used by many ancestors in many cultures, in various eras and places. It's amazing there are so many similarities in food in cultures that are so different. Dried meat is one of the most typical ingredients in the north of Mexico, reaching the Baja in a way that almost makes us believe it is a typical dish from here too.
Prepared machaca can be served any number of ways, such as filler in tightly rolled flautas, tacos, or burritos, or on a plate with eggs, onions and peppers (chiles verdes or chiles poblanos). Machaca is almost always served with flour tortillas, that tend to be large, up to 20 inches in diameter.
The native Mexicans who lived in the north of the country realized they could preserve their meat and transported it in long rolls, sort of like edible sleeping bags. They would eat it dry, no seasoning or condiment. Dried meat was usually hard to take a bite out of, so they would take a couple of rocks and smash it until it broke down, giving it the name "machaca" (to grind). Later, they discovered quail eggs, and soon scrambled eggs with machaca was born. Also, since beef had not really made it to the Americas yet, deer meat was used. It still is used and very typical in northern Mexican cooking.
Nowadays machaca is quite different from what it originally was, and like all the good Mexican dishes and ingredients, there is a legend behind it. The most popular says that around the seventeenth century, northern Mexico's economy revolved around mines and cattle. A bunch of miners grew tired of just dried, plain meat, so they asked a cook to change it up a little bit. She added whatever she had on hand which was onions, tomatoes, chiles and eggs and so was invented the typical machaca scrambled eggs.
Another of the stories says that in Nuevo Leon, around 1928, a lady called Tía Lencha (aunt lencha) was in charge of feeding the engineers and builders who were working on the road to Laredo. She felt bad for them, poor men eating dry meat with lime juice, so she went in her kitchen and made machaca friend in pork lard, with tomato, onion and chiles. She threw some refried beans on the plate and handed them flour tortillas. They loved it.
After the arrival of refrigeration, dehydration was no longer needed for preservation. Nowadays most dried beef is sold in the U.S. as jerky. In Mexico, it is still sold for cooking and snacking; this is done mostly in the north and in small-scale operations. Most machaca dishes now are made from beef that has been well-cooked, shredded, and then cooked in its juices until the desired consistency is achieved, which in Phoenix can be soupy, dry, or medium. In Tucson and south, the preparation is almost always dry, and approximates more closely the taste and texture of the original dish prepared from dried meat. Carne seca (dry meat), is an alternative name for machaca in Tucson and Sonora.
Whichever story is real, machaca was spread all through the north of Mexico, even the parts that were sold to the United States, but they call it jerky. Each state claims it as their own and has their special recipe.
This recipe is to make "artisanal" machaca, meaning a small batch, and some people might always prefer store bought, but I believe there is a magic in making things, at least once, so you can appreciate the real value of them. Machaca is traditionally hung and dried in a cool room, but it can be made in a dehydrator or an oven too. If you try the room method, you'll have to get creative because the meat has to be hung.
Machaca can be made with any cut of meat, but the best ones are thin and have low fat, like black pulp, rump and loin.
Machaca needs a little sun dry process, so it is best to make it on a sunny day. It also will take a while, from two hours to two days.
This recipe makes one pound of dried meat.
1 pound of beef meat.
Pepper to taste
1 ½ spoonful's of salt
Prepare the meat. Trim all the fat and slice in thin, long strips.
Sprinkle the salt evenly on both sides, until a thin crust of salt is formed. You can use more salt if needed.
Place all the strips of meat on a clean, flat surface, leave to "cook" under the sun between 3 and 30 minutes. This depends on the type of meat, until it becomes light brown. Cover it with a big plastic bag or a piece of fabric. Make sure that the covering is not in direct contact with the meat and there is no holes where insects can get in.
Turn over the meat once it reaches a light brown color, and repeat the process. Make sure, however, that you don't leave it under the sun for too long, and if it turns a greenish hue it is no longer edible.
Sprinkle with pepper and finish the process.
In a room: hang the meat to dry in a cool and airy room. Leave to dehydrate for 48 hours, until completely dry and even a lighter brown. You can place a fan in the room to quicken the process.
In the oven: preheat the oven to 158ºf. place all the strips on a baking sheet making sure they don't touch each other. Place in the oven for 1 to 3 hours, until they are very well cooked and dry. They should also turn a lighter brown.
Smash the meat until it reaches the "machaca" consistency, or place it in a blender, but I wouldn't recommend the latter.
That's it! Enjoy with some scrambled eggs!

The students in the Peoria Art Guild's Digital Photography Class were out exploring northwest Peoria County last Saturday morning. There were tripods everywhere so we must be getting through to them.
We hear a lot of statements from students on color management. They don't specifically say "I have a color management question." They say things like "Well this looked a lot different on my monitor" or "I swear this wasn't this color when I worked on it." And those – those are clarion calls for the world of color management. And while I think a lot of people are worried because they thing color management is complex (okay – it is) – that doesn't mean the CONCEPT of color management – and your printer, and you monitor, and your color space – have to be.
The mad genius that is Syl Arena – posted one of the best articles on color management I've seen in awhile. It's so good I want you to stop reading this post and go read his. You'll learn something. And I can get back to work.

A new St. Paul municipal ballpark in Lowertown, losing in the early rounds of the bonding fight at the Legislature, is probably the only proposed ballpark in the United States that intends to cater to what is euphemistically called the artists' community.
As a veteran of a couple of art crawls in Lowertown, I do not mean to be uncharitable by implying that the artists there do not constitute a community. It's just that there aren't that many of them, and they are delusional if they do not believe a ballpark might expose them to a larger audience. Let's put it this way: If a ballpark got built in Lowertown, an estimated 400,000 people a year might have it dawn on them that there is an artists' community.
The way it stands now, the artists are squirreled away in the warrens of old warehouses, up freight elevators, behind old loading docks, around the next bend in darkened, cobwebbed hallways. An art crawl is fascinating archaeology, like looking at the ruins of an ancient culture of inhabitants who practiced business and commerce and trade off the riverboats.
The proponents of the new park – Mike Veeck of the St. Paul Saints, Chamber of Commerce types, Dave Brooks and other downtown property owners – have bent over backward to incorporate art into the project. Why, the way it sounds, the ballpark would be part gallery! For all I know, artwork would be stacked up at first base and a batter hitting a double would carry a piece of it to second base.
Well, in any event, the artistic promise has failed, unbelievably enough, to impress what the Pioneer Press called the other day "many Lowertown residents who fear that crowds, noise and parking would kill the character and viability of the artists' neighborhood."
This might be the greatest example of inmates trying to run the asylum that I have ever seen. One of those artists, somebody named Rhea Pappas, a photographer, is worried about the ballpark affecting her livelihood. Apparently she teaches a photography class and is concerned that noise and crowds could disrupt her work. You've got to be kidding me.
I don't know if Pappas is related to Sandy Pappas, a DFL senator from St. Paul who believes her ethics complaint against Republican Geoff Michel is motivating the bonding neglect the ballpark is getting from Republican legislators. And if she is related, I wouldn't know what to make of that, other than to congratulate Rhea for not making politics the family business. But the prospect of an artist in Lowertown actually believing that a ballpark would be bad for her business is beyond even my wild imagination.
From Day One, the people behind the ballpark have promised artistic awareness. They would feature local art, hold exhibits, provide kiosk space, you name it.
And the artists are worried? That's like worrying that your livelihood as a snowcone vendor would be jeopardized by a stretch of 85-degree weather.
The best idea I have heard for the new park – it would replace Midway Stadium – aside from it being so friendly to the nascent artists' community, would be for the Twins to establish a Triple-A club there, to take advantage, of course, of the light-rail line. That way, a Triple-A player who gets three home runs in an afternoon minor-league game could be called up by the Twins for an evening game at Target Field and make it in time, still in cleats and uniform, by climbing onto the next train and riding across town.
As for the so-called artists' community, they should begin chanting or meditating or howling at the moon, or whatever artists do, or else they will remain limited to two crawls a year and about $12.34 in annual sales.

A black Mississippi man who had been missing for over two weeks was found hanging from a tree on Thursday, authorities say.
Claiborne County Coroner J.W. Mallett has not disclosed details of the case, and it is not yet clear if the death was from a homicide or a suicide, the Clarion Ledger reported. The FBI, the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division and the United States Attorney's office are investigating the case.
"This is the first time I have witnessed anything like this in Claiborne County," Claiborne County Sheriff Marvin Lucas told WAPT.
The case has sparked speculation that it could have been a lynching, the last of which took place as recently as 2011 in Mississippi, a state with a troubled history of racial violence. The sentencing judge in that case told the three men who were sentenced last month in that case that they had "ripped off the scab of the healing scars of Mississippi…causing her to bleed again."

The best part of being up early is seeing a pretty sunrise.
The moonflower has yet to, um, flower, but the leaves of the vine sure are pretty. And the raindrops from a summer storm made is especially lovely to look at one evening earlier this week.
At the Owl Bar for dinner on Eric's birthday.
This plant is just one of three. They're all doing great so far and smell really good. Yay!
I always make a mess when I stitch.
The ottoman is pretty light on stitching stuff again, just like last month. I had had company just a couple days prior to taking this pic, so the ottoman was (mostly) cleared off.
It had been far too long since I was able to visit the duck pond. I'm glad I got a chance to go this week.

Your AC unit will be in full swing this summer. With the days getting hot, it's only natural to seek a cool place to relax. Americans love their AC units. In fact, they spend nearly 22 billion dollars each year to cool their homes. That's a lot of energy! With your air conditioner working extra hard to keep your home cool and comfortable, it's important that you keep it maintained throughout the season.
Keep these tips for AC maintenance in Palm Beach in mind to keep your unit working properly.
The filter on your air conditioner ensures that dust, pollen, and allergens aren't spread throughout your home. As a filter intakes air, it catches debris and prevents it from circulating. Over time, the filter becomes dirty, making it difficult for your AC unit to function. Especially during the summer, it's important to replace the filter regularly. In fact, experts recommend replacing the filter every three to four weeks.
While you might want to hide your outdoor AC unit, it's important to keep it clear. Branches, trees, flowers, and bushes shouldn't come too close to your appliance. If flora comes too close to the air conditioner, it could prevent it from working efficiently.
To keep your air conditioner working, make sure that you perform monthly inspections of both the interior and exterior units. Listen for any whistling, banging, or screeching. Then, inspect the tubes and pipes to ensure that there are no leaks. It's also a good idea to check your ductwork for any blockages.
While these three things will help to keep your air conditioner healthy all summer long, there's more you can do. Calling a professional should be at the top of your list. Investing in a professional tune-up each year prevents little issues from becoming big problems. Call your AC company in Palm Beach, FL, to get your appliance ready for the warm season.
