The RadColorPicker for Windows 8 HTML is a combination of a HSB color picker, a RGB color picker and a palette color
picker that are designed and optimized for the best touch experience.
Each color picker control has two semicircle indicators in the center - the above one for the currently selected color and the one below for the
previous selection. This allows the user to quickly return to his previous selection in case he made a mistake. The controls also provide radial
sliders, color wheels and color tabs for selecting the different components of the corresponding color selection method.
RadHSBPicker allows the user to select a color by its hue, saturation, and
brightness values. The control has a radial slider for the brightness selection and a hue/saturation color wheel. If the opacity
option is turned on, the HSB picker also allows the user to select a value for the opacity through an opacity color wheel in the center.
RadRGBPicker provides radial sliders for selecting a color by its red, green, and
blue color components. Like the HSB picker, if the opacity option is turned on, the RGB picker also allows the user to select
a value for the opacity through an opacity color wheel in the center.
RadPalettePicker allows the user to select a color from a predefined set of colors. The palette picker is divided into
radial sectors and each sector can contain multiple colors. There are no limitations to the number of sectors or colors. Each color can be individually set
or auto generated by a step object. The control also provides a default simple color palette.

[The game] has no basis in historical reality and doesn't actually represent any religion. It just appeals to people who hate religion to begin with — the hip subculture of militant popular atheists.
Militant popular atheists, baby, yeah! Maybe that's what I should put in the book, instead of fire-breathing atheists or some equivalent.
Then again, we've been dubbed "the hip subculture of militant popular atheists" by a professor of religious studies who's whining that a board game that includes Cthulu and Eric Clapton as characters "has no basis in historical reality."
*takes Smack-o-Matic from the wall*
C'mere, Professor.
It's not meant to have a basis in historical reality, you dumbfuck! It's a board game. It's being marketed as "the world's first satirical board game of religious warfare." Not "the world's first educational and completely historically accurate board game of religious warfare." I know you like your happy reality wherein all religion is sweetness and light and would never ever start religious wars, whereas the creator of the game wanted to make fun of real reality where religion enjoys starting religious wars immensely. But to attack the game for not being something it was never meant to be just because it's got your panties in a wad? Give me a fucking break.
What's education coming to in this country when an erstwhile professor can't even tell the difference between a documentary and a satirical board game?
I think herr Professor's been snorting too much of the religious ecstasy. It's fried his brain.
It's really too bad. Would've been nice to have a trustworthy source call us a hip subculture.
(Tip o' the shot glass to PZ. Even though he STILL hasn't plugged COTEB VI)

Salads. It's easy to think that they are a summer dish – something light and easy when the weather is hot. They can be just as great in winter though. It's all about choosing ingredients that are in season and amping up the "hearty" meter so that they can either hold their own against the lure of soups and stews or become a nice accompaniment.
During my weekend market shopping I ended up with fresh walnuts and some lovely mâche rosettes, which sparked the idea of a series of posts on winter salads. This is the first.
Mâche (pronounced mahsh) is a winter salad green that originated in France where it's known as the "little sweet one". Depending on where in the world you are it's also called Lambs Lettuce, Corn Salad and Field Salad. It has a mild, sweet nutty flavour and a succulent texture. It grows in beautiful, delicate rosettes with a vibrant green colour that look great on the plate and is the perfect salad green; rich in vitamins A and C, minerals such as iron and folic acid, high in fibre and lutein (a powerful antioxidant) and low in calories.
Walnuts are typically harvested in Australia in late April.
225 gm whole baby beetroot, skins on
2 tsp caraway seeds
5 tblsp walnut oil
1 tblsp red wine vinegar
1 tblsp balsamic vinegar
salt & freshly ground pepper
225 gm mâche, washed and dried
1/2 cup freshly shelled, chopped walnuts
Serves 6-8 as a side dish.
For this you can boil or bake the beetroot, its totally up to you. I recommend gloves with both unless you want pretty pink hands all day!
To boil them put the beetroot and caraway seeds in a small saucepan and add enough water to just cover them. Bring the water to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until tender. This will take about 30 minutes. Test for tenderness by piercing with a thin skewer. Run the beetroot under cold water, then remove their skin. If you are opting for the bake method, wrap them in foil with a scattering of caraway seeds and cook in a moderate oven for 20-30 minutes, then remove the skins.
When they're cool, chop the beetroot into 3cm dice and set aside in a bowl. If you are trying to plan ahead, the beetroot can be prepared in advance, but the rest of the recipe should be done just before serving.
Make a quick dressing by whisking the oil, vinegars, salt, and pepper together. Pour half the mixture over the beetroot and allow them to marinate for half an hour.
Arrange the mâche in a large serving platter or on separate plates. Add the marinated beetroot and the walnuts, and mix gently. Drizzle the remaining vinaigrette over the salad. Serve immediately. For something different, add a bit of blue cheese to the platter.

Exports of plastic waste from the U.S. to developing countries have surged following China's crackdown on foreign waste imports, new research has shown. Nearly half of plastic waste exported from the US for recycling in the first six months of 2018 was shipped to Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam. The previous year, the U.S. sent more than 70 percent to China and Hong Kong.
This year's ban on foreign waste imports by China, previously the world's biggest importer of plastic waste for recycling, has left western countries scrambling to offload its extra plastic waste. The U.S., along with Britain, Germany, Japan and Mexico, is among the biggest exporters of scrap plastic to China. The analysis shows the U.S. is exploiting developing countries where there is no regulatory framework to ensure plastic waste is processed in an environmentally friendly way. "Instead of taking responsibility for their own waste, US companies are exploiting developing countries that lack the regulation to protect themselves," said John Hocevar, Oceans campaign director for Greenpeace USA.

It's raining, it's pouring; don't let your kids stop playing.

Tips, Tricks and Information for that no-fuss, at home DIY birthday party.
There is just something wonderful about planning for a children's birthday party. The balloons, cakes, party food (oh, spaghetti!) the gifts… what's not to love? But with the rising costs in party and events planning, putting birthday parties ideas to work with professionals and venues can be quite expensive.
Let's try to keep things within a budget and plan a DIY birthday party! Read on to find out how you can host yours kid's celebration at home while not breaking the bank! (This party will be for kids aged 10 years and below)
Plan ahead!
Before starting the exciting party planning, you have to figure out how to budget your own time and set a schedule for it. This won't be the only thing on your plate everyday from now until D-Day, right?
Set a moment to draw up a time sheet and to accommodate the following:
- Pre-Planning Phase- Allocation of tasks and budget for your team, how many weeks for planning, materials needed/suppliers to contact, theme of the party
- Sending out Invites- writing invitations, preparing list of invitees (your kid's classmates, friends, family members), when to send out RSVP reminders
- Main Phase- purchasing crafts and supplies for decorations, brainstorming for games and activities, drawing up what food to cook or order, purchasing or creating party favors, checking of budget and other sudden costs
- 1-2 weeks Before the Party- finalise games and activities to be played, entertainers/hosts signed on, menu and cake ideas finalised, begin producing party favors and decorations
- 2-3 Days Before the Party- Final guest list prepared, start preparing food, purchase or bake the cake
…A Little Help From My Friends
Remember, you can't be a super mom/super dad and do all of the planning on your own. You can enlist the help of a few friends or older family members to help you. You could also ask the people you know who can cook or bake to prepare the food! Your older kids and their friends can help out in greeting the guests and handling the party favors.
Who Are Invited?
You can't have a grand birthday party at home without the guests. If your child is a young preschooler, you can make the list yourself. For kids older than 3 years old, consider asking him who he would want to go to his party.
It would be best to already have a party theme before creating the invitations:
For Boys– Star Wars, Marvel or DC heroes (or a mix!), outer space, sports like football and basketball, a western, medieval fantasy, Pixar movies, Halloween
For Girls– tea party, Disney Princesses (Frozen, Brave and Moana are popular), beauty parlour or salon, little baker or cook, cupcakes and chocolates, flower garden, fashion show
Of course, you're not limited to these suggestions, and if you would like, you could mix and match these themes! Once you have a theme down, its time to think of what materials to use for the invitations.
Invitations can come in all sorts of types, and can really depend on the theme for your party. Here are some ideas to help you out:
- Parchment paper and paper stars/animals stuffed into bottles
- Cards shaped into origami
- Cards with pop-ups in them
- Crafts shaped into bookmarks, balls or other shapes
- Small Boxes containing the invite and treats
Do not forget to include the date, location and time of the party, and the RSVP information. It would be nice to also include notices that food would be served!
Home, Sweet Home
This is probably the detail you would worry about the least. Your birthday celebrant would not need to worry about his surroundings, and it will be easier for you to decorate the venue. All the party essentials and dining ware are where they should be as well. If you would like to have more control over where kids should go, you can separate the house into party areas using balloons and streamers.
Golden Time
Timing is crucial for any kid's birthday party. Schedule the party when kids would be at their most energetic- the few hours in the late morning before lunch would be a great time slot. You also have to consider nap time for the younger kids.
Feast for a Little King/Queen
You can't spell a kid's birthday party without cake! Baking a cake can be challenging if you don't have the right skills and equipment. It would be best to hire a confectionery or to ask a friend to bake for you.
You could spend more time in choosing the right food for your young guests. Here are some things to consider:
- Finger foods like fried chicken strips, cookies, sandwiches and pizza are easiest to eat.
- You can serve the drinks in reusable and colorful containers. Mason jars are a great point to start.
- You can serve lunch and snacks in creative containers too. Plates can be made to look like balls for sports parties and popcorn/chips can be served from a cut-out crystal bowl.
- Make sure to prepare some food for the adults coming over to the party. Some good choices include spaghetti, club sandwiches, burgers, muffins and ice cream.
Are You Not Entertained?
Before you pick the phone to call your local clown, list down the friends or family members you know who have an interesting talent kids would love to see. It could be someone great at singing and dancing, or it could be as unique as shadow puppets or science experiments.
Pick a team of entertainers who can take turns showing their talents for 1 1/2 to two hours. You can build your team around a host- he will be in charge of running things on stage and keeping the kids' collective attention. There's no need to hire a professional for this; you can pick your kid's fun-loving baby sitter, their friend or a cool uncle or aunt!
All this though will depend on the attention span of your guests. Most kids can focus on what they're watching for 30 to 45 minutes at a time. You can schedule your program around this for easy time keeping.
Here's a Present For You!
Last but not the least are the freebies! Your kid will get a lot of gifts during his birthday party; loot bags or small trinkets are a good way for your kid to show gratitude to his guests for coming over. It will also serve as a gesture of good will to their parents for allowing them to go to the party.
You can incorporate the gift giving portion towards the end of the party. Guests can exchange the gift they will give for a fun loot bag- a small paper or plastic bag full of candies, small toys and a thank you card will do the trick. For a more creative touch, you can gift guests with a small cupcake, a memorabilia like a small statue or key chain, or stuffed toy or pillow with their name stitched on.
A few more pointers
- Not all plans are executed equal. Prepare for meltdowns like temper tantrums and accidents.
- Make sure to have a first aid kit ready and stocked up.
- Watch your budget- it's alright to go a bit over budget, but do not overspend!
- For each kid who is going to the party, list down their parent's phone number.
- Remember also to ask the parents about food allergies or important medical conditions.
- Remind your child to say "thank you" for each gift or compliment he receives during the party.
- Save a few minutes before the party for final checks and touch ups.
- Don't be afraid to push through with the party if you find any mishaps; ask your adult helpers to assist you!
Most of all, have FUN! This is your child's birthday party, and you planned this all for him. Enjoy the memories you'll create with his friends and family! Happy planning!

Please Note: This article is written for users of the following Microsoft Excel versions: 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003. If you are using a later version (Excel 2007 or later), this tip may not work for you. For a version of this tip written specifically for later versions of Excel, click here: Condensing Sequential Values to a Single Row.
by Allen Wyatt
(last updated September 14, 2019)
Rusty has a list of ZIP Codes in a column of a worksheet. He would like a way to "compress" the codes so that sequential ranges of values are on a single row. So, for instance, instead of 35013, 35014, and 35015 taking up three rows, they would appear on a single row as 35013-35015.
There are a couple of ways to go about this—with or without macros. On the "without macros" side of the fence, there are a number of different approaches, and all of them involve the use of additional columns to hold intermediate results.
For example, let's assume that you have your data in column A, starting in cell A2, and that cell A1 is empty (it doesn't even have header text in it). In this case you could enter the following formula in cell B2:
Then, in cell C2, enter the following long formula:
Now you can copy the formulas in cells B2:C2 down their respective columns. What you end up with in column C is the condensed series of ZIP Codes. You can copy these values, using Paste Special to ignore blank cells, to anyplace else you want.
If you want to use a macro approach, then there are no intermediate columns necessary. A macro can be written that essentially collapses the list of ZIP Codes in place. The following macro loops through whatever range of cells you selected and creates the condensed list:
Sub CombineValues() Dim rng As Range Dim rCell As Range Dim sNewArray() As String Dim x As Long Dim y As Long Dim sStart As String Dim sEnd As String Set rng = Selection sStart = rng.Cells(1) sEnd = sStart y = 1 For x = 1 To rng.Count - 1 If rng.Cells(x + 1) - _ rng.Cells(x) > 1 Then 'End ReDim Preserve sNewArray(1 To y) If sStart = sEnd Then sNewArray(y) = sStart Else sNewArray(y) = sStart & "-" & sEnd End If sStart = rng.Cells(x + 1) y = y + 1 End If sEnd = rng.Cells(x + 1) ReDim Preserve sNewArray(1 To y) If sStart = sEnd Then sNewArray(y) = sStart Else sNewArray(y) = sStart & "-" & sEnd End If Next rng.ClearContents For x = 1 To y rng.Cells(x) = "'" & sNewArray(x) Next Set rng = Nothing Set rCell = Nothing End Sub

The New Jersey area is dangerous for pedestriansRobert A. Solomon, P.C.
Do you live in New Jersey? Do you find yourself spending a lot of time in New York City? As you know, big cities, including the Big Apple, are dangerous places for pedestrians. This doesn't mean you should avoid walking in these areas, but you definitely need to pay close attention to what is going on around you.
The majority of pedestrian accidents take place on city streets, due in large part to the number of people and vehicles in the area. All it takes is one person to make one mistake and an accident can happen.
Since many people in New Jersey and New York do not own a car, due to a shortage of parking and lots of traffic, they take to the sidewalks to get from one point to the next.
When people are injured in pedestrian accidents, they must receive medical attention without delay. From there, they can learn more about their rights and how to receive compensation for injuries. For example, most medical bills are covered by no-fault insurance.
Any pedestrian accident, regardless of how fast the vehicle was moving, can lead to serious injury or death. This is the result of the pedestrian not having any protection against the vehicle.
New Jersey and New York are known for being home to many pedestrians. Those who walk regularly need to know what they can do to avoid trouble. If individuals are struck by motor vehicles, they may want to collect information related to their legal rights. Our website is full of such advice.

Josh "The Reverend" Peyton has long considered 1930s Delta bluesman Charley Patton his biggest musical influence. In fact, he's had the idea of doing a Patton tribute album for years.
But it took two specific incidents to finally nudge him into recording Peyton on Patton, the latest recording by the Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band.
"One was we played this blues festival, and I mentioned Charley Patton's name," explains Peyton. "And I could just tell I was getting nothing but blank stares from people — at a blues festival — that did not know who Charley Patton was. That broke my heart. That's just terrible. This guy is maybe the most important figure in all of American music."
Not long afterward, Peyton ran across an Internet discussion that also got him stirred up. "These were fairly famous people, and they were arguing about how to play a Charley Patton song. And all of them were arguing about it, and all of them were wrong. I was like, man, I want to do this record. I think it's time."
Spend enough time talking to Peyton, and he'll likely convince you that the blues as we know it (not to mention rock 'n roll) would not exist without Patton — something that may not be as true of Robert Johnson, who's more typically touted as the king of blues.
"I think there ought to be statues of Charley Patton," declares Peyton. "Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker, Pops Staples, Bukka White, all of these fellas, they said they picked up a guitar because of Charley Patton. That was why they started playing, or at least part of it."
Peyton's on a roll now. "If there hadn't been Muddy Waters and Bukka White and John Lee Hooker and Howlin' Wolf, there would not be a Rolling Stones or Beatles as we know it. There would not be a Chuck Berry as we know it. Then you follow that up through the last 80-plus years of American music, it is hard to say what our music would sound like."
Likewise, Peyton insists that Johnson, who began recording in 1936, just a couple years after Patton's death, was also strongly influenced by the earlier bluesman. "He kind of made it his own, but he borrowed heavily and he learned from the records."
As for Peyton's own road to the blues, it began at age 12 when he got his first guitar. But it wasn't until after he met his future wife, Breezy, in 2003, that the Big Damn Band became a reality.
With Breezy on washboard and Peyton's younger brother, Jayme, on drums, the group began touring and recording its raw, largely acoustic brand of country blues.
A half dozen albums later, the bandleader is hoping Peyton on Patton will lead listeners to find out more about Patton, and maybe gain a better understanding of where Peyton's own music comes from.
"If they know more about Charley," he says, "they'll understand us a little bit."

Chef Jeni's Pad Thai
Elemental's weekly cooking class continued this past Tuesday, as Chef Jeni instructed the class on how to whip up some delectable medicated Pad Thai. Students were treated to Jeni's West Coast spin on this quintessential Thai dish, which includes 200-300 milligrams of One of A Kind Elemental True OG Olive Oil.
"The taste of olive oil with True OG extract works well," Jeni said. "There's not as strong of a cannabis taste as with some other products."
From cooking the noodles to adding the medication, Jeni guided students through the entire culinary process, adding several helpful tips along the way.
"Lime or fresh ginger refreshes the palette," Jeni said. "In Thai cooking, we use lime to make sure things blend together better."
While the flat noodles began to sizzle in the frying pan, Jeni answered questions from the class and started to mix the sauce--a flavorful combination of soy sauce, ginger sauce, and apple cider vinegar.
Once the noodles were finished, she added the sauce and True OG Oil, and began to stir. Jeni advised students to remain mindful when distributing the oil throughout the dish.
"We don't want to smush anything," she said. "But also make sure certain parts aren't more concentrated [in Kind Oil] than others to avoid over-medication."
After Jeni finished mixing the ingredients, individual servings were portioned out and given to students to take home and sample. Jeni was right: The "green" taste was hardly detectable in the final product, but the True OG's couch-locky, pain-relieving effects were unmistakable. It made for the perfect post-work meal to ease into the end of one's day.
Interested in attending next week's session?
Classes are held every Tuesday at 5:30 p.m., and, as always, are free to Elemental members. Be sure to bring plenty of questions--the course is interactive and ample time is allotted for discussion throughout. Also, the lesson is conveniently held during Tasty Tuesday, so there's no excuse not to stop in and see what the hype is about!

Why You Shouldn't Believe Too Much in 'Waterproof' Watches
So, you are planning to buy a casual watch that has a 'waterproof' feature on it. The reason why you want to buy such a timepiece is that you are planning to use it even if you are taking a shower or taking a dip in the pool. Whatever the case may be, waterproof watches, just like all things in life, are just a marketing gimmick. In this article, I will tell you why you shouldn't' believe too much in waterproof watches.
Waterproof VS Water Resistance- What is the Difference?
Now, there seems to be confusion about waterproof watches versus water-resistant watches and I want to make a distinction. For all intents and purposes, all watches that you can find on the market are just water-resistant and not completely waterproof. If you are talking about something that is waterproof, all of the dials are protected even from the massive pressure that is exerted on the watch when you dive in the deep waters.
Water-resistance is sort of a rating where you can wear the watch safely without breaking but only to a point.
Important Terminologies
When you are shopping for waterproof (or should I say, water-resistant) watches, you may come across certain terminologies and I will explain them in this section. Here are just some of the common ones:
- ATM- This refers to the atmosphere and what you need to know about this one is that 1 ATM is equivalent to 10 meters
- Bar- This is just an alternative metric that is also somewhat similar to the atmosphere. A watch that has a 20-bar water resistance should be sturdy enough to withstand water pressures of up to 200 meters in depth
Keep in mind that they are just ratings and may not actually be representative in real-world scenarios. That is because it is really hard to test for such things, given that the force that can be exerted to your watch will depend on a number of factors- some cannot be emulated in a controlled environment.
What to Expect
If you are going to buy a watch that has a 3-bar rating, you can safely wear it in the shower or in the pool. However, keep in mind that if the shower temperature is too hot, it could damage its water-resistant components and unexpected water damage may occur.
If you are on the market for a reliable water-resistant watch, I suggest that you get a 5-bar watch at the very least. You can take a shower with it and can withstand at least 20 meters of water. For water enthusiasts like scuba or deep divers, a 10-bar or 20-bar watch is certainly the one that they would want to buy. It can withstand water pressure of up to 100-200 meters, but keep in mind that the lower you go, the higher the chance of it destroying the inner mechanism of the watch itself.

How to Plant a Holly Tree
A holly can be an evergreen (Ilex opaca) shrub or tree, like American holly, or a deciduous variety (Ilex verticillata), like winterberry. The small berries that appear on hollies in the fall can be red, white or deep blue. Plant an evergreen holly with its prickly leaves and berries for easy access to a popular Christmas decorating medium to create a wreath or garland. Though leafless in the winter, twigs of shiny berry clusters on the deciduous holly can be added to a pine wreath. Plant holly in the fall in southern states and in the spring or fall in northern states.
Choose a well-drained location in full sun to part shade. Loose, loamy soil is preferred. The area should be large enough to accommodate the width potential of a mature holly tree (at least 25 feet from any other tree or building) or a row or grouping of shrubs (spaced at least 5 feet apart).
Dig a hole two times as wide as a shrub rootball or three times as wide as a tree rootball. The depth of the hole should be at least as deep as the rootball is tall. When working with clay soil, incorporate up to 50 percent organic matter (commercial organic material or home-grown compost or leaf mold) to the dirt removed from the hole.
Place the rootball in the hole so the top of the rootball is level with the ground. Backfill the hole halfway and then add water to fill the hole. Allow the water to seep out. If planting a burlap-wrapped ball, pull the burlap down to expose the top half of the rootball. Finish backfilling the hole and then water again.
Apply 2 to 3 inches of mulch. Water thoroughly every seven to 10 days in which there is no significant rainfall for the first year.
Prune in early spring, but only to maintain a desired shape. A layer of compost can be added to the ground beneath the canopy of the tree each spring.
In addition to creating a Christmas wreath with holly, you can place short cuttings of leaves and berries in front of each plate at a festive Christmas dining table. Wrap a gold, red or plaid ribbon around the cuttings.

Faithia Williams, Jim Iyke make big screen debut in Seven And A Half Dates
Finally, the anticipated movie from the stable of BroadwayTV Productions 'Seven And A Half Dates' is ready to hit the cinema screens.
The movie, which tells the story of love from the pans of a chessboard, will be in cinema as from August 3.
A collaboration between actor and Producer Toyin Abraham, the Director Biodun Stephen, Writer Joy Isi Bewaji and the Executive Producer Samuel Olatunji, the movie parades an array of talented and professional actors like Jim Iyke, Sola Sobowale, Mercy Johnson-Okojie, Akin Lewis, Toyin Abraham, Faithia Williams, Frank Donga, McLively, Ali Nuhu, Bayray McNwizu, Roxy Antak, Chris Iheuwa and more.
The movie tells the story of a father who sets up ten dates for his unwilling daughter.
The dates became worthless but there was going to be an unexpected twist that could make it all worthwhile.
Speaking with one of the cast of the movie, Sola Sobowale on what makes Seven and a Half Dates a must watch she said, "It is unique, it is beautiful, lots of emotions and it has everything you will love to see in it. I am extremely glad to be part of this.
The cast is beautiful, the script is well written and it addresses everything the society has so much to say on.
Trust me; it is a very relatable movie that no one wants to miss."
Also, Nollywood sensation Mercy Johnson shared her expectations for the movie.
She said "my expectations are really high because it is a good movie and it is a good story with great cast and I am honestly hoping it breaks the box office.
I hope every single person who is passionate about education and entertainment in filmmaking will go see this movie because it is a genuinely well written and educating movie that would reach out and connect with everyone."
Speaking also on the uniqueness of the movie, actress Faithia Williams says; "honestly, I have been involved in tons of movies however this has all the right ingredients that would make one salivate.
It treats every societal issue from marital pressure, domestic violence, rape, and feminism to everything. You name it.
Also, the fact that it preaches love at the end of the day sets it apart from the usual stories."

Sustainable Energy - Without the Hot Air
This is an important book. Eloquent, practical and available as a freebie in PDF, MacKay gives practical info about sustainable energy without, thank god,
commentary, the curse of corporate controlled network "news". With Global Warming now going into it's first phase transition, the need to actually do something of consequence about the unnamed 800lb gorilla residing in the living room of the world is nigh. Give it a read, your life may depend on it.
End of rant.

Travel writer, customer service guru, Kellie knows the ins and outs of car rental and always happy to share her knowledge on our blog. Favourite country to visit: Spain.
This week it came to light in the news that it's illegal to use cruise control on your car when you're driving in Belgium. Whilst one can see the logic behind it – you are likely to not be concentrating on your speed as much as you should, there are many other traffic laws from around the world that stretch credibility.
The Russian Riviera is a bit of a misnomer in that it really comprises only Sochi which is itself simply a district of the greater urban area also known by the same name. It's a region of contradictions, none more so than its hosting of the 2014 Winter Olympics in a subtropical city. Add to that, good shingle beaches lapped by a sea that remains uninvitingly cold until the season is nearly over and the vista of modern architecture sitting side by side with communist era concrete and your picture is nearly complete.

Morally bankrupt culture:: Why I Am Leaving Goldman Sachs – NYTimes.com
Wednesday, 14 March, 2012 Leave a comment
A salutary lesson for every firm…particularly those within Financial Services (irrespective of scale).
Any "leader" who believes this is only about banks or bankers had better think again!
This is about the prevailing culture that they have presided-over, if not created. It may have enabled you to secure the wealth and power you so craved. But, if it is all that some of the newest, youngest, brightest recruits of the last 10 years have been fed and were/are too fearful to question, you can no longer deny that YOU have done your firm, these individuals, your clients (past and present), economies (local &/or global), future generations and, perhaps, the planet untold, perhaps irreparable, damage.
Unlike a Rating Agency my opinion is completely free! It is based upon both qualitative and quantitative data. Put as simply as possible, unless a financial organisation can offer a high level of transparency, sufficient to reassure its stakeholders and to (re)build TRUST it is not and cannot be deemed to be "investment grade".
Financial Reform, courtesy of Basel and such like, should not come at the enormous expense that it does. Instead of spending increasing amounts on relentless lobbying it could be invested in "change" that stakeholders can see and believe in…TRANSFORMATION from the inside because you know and admit that it is the only way forward.
I hope this can be a wake-up call to the board of directors. Make the client the focal point of your business again. Without clients you will not make money. In fact, you will not exist. Weed out the morally bankrupt people, no matter how much money they make for the firm. And get the culture right again, so people want to work here for the right reasons. People who care only about making money will not sustain this firm — or the trust of its clients — for very much longer.

If you like a good conspiracy story I would urge you to read this piece about Martin Armstrong who was only released from jail last year:
Looking behind the curtain: If you like a good conspiracy theory…
Don't forget that Goldman's played their part on aiding the Greek Government bring the Euro to the brink of the abyss! I (like others) have had a go at Goldman Sachs on more than one occasion. Enjoy.

Tory MP Louise Mensch has resigned her parliamentary seat for family reasons. She wishes to spend more time with her second husband and her three children by the first one.
"I have been struggling for some time to find the best outcome for my family life," she wrote in her letter of resignation, displaying the command of style we now expect from our rulers. 'The best outcome' is to be found in New York where her present husband manages some of the nastier rock bands.
Far be it from me to offer avuncular advice on bringing up children, or 'kids' as we're now supposed to call them. Actually I always thought that in order to have a kid one had to have sex with a goat, but apparently not: Mrs Mensch's offspring are undoubtedly human. Therefore, on general principle, perhaps the drug-sodden rock world isn't the best backdrop for rearing them.
I'm not suggesting that Mr Mensch is anything other than an upstanding role model (or 'stand-up guy', in the patois his wife will soon have to master), but his chosen field of endeavour brings him, and vicariously his family, in close daily contact with what one has to describe as the scum of the earth. Even if neither he nor his wife takes drugs, his stepchildren will be growing up deafened by the kind of cacophony that can only be produced by acid heads, some of whom will be frequent guests in the Mensch household.
Mrs Mensch's personal experience with drugs would have been in the past regarded as atypical for Tory MPs. In her 20s she self-admittedly was a heavy user of Class A substances, a fact she now professes to regret: "I messed with my brain… It's had long-term mental health effects on me."
She doesn't specify which Class A drugs she took, and neither does she admit to having been a heavy and prolonged user. But one has to be that to suffer long-term cerebral effects, as Mrs Mensch describes them. Now she's naturally reformed: "Drugs are incredibly addictive, they destroy lives".
The second half of the statement is undoubtedly true; the first, only with reservations. The only two drugs known to cause serious physiological addiction are barbiturates and alcohol. Neither cocaine nor opiates produce this sort of addiction, though both can create a craving for the pleasurable sensation. Nor are withdrawal symptoms as horrific as they are described by those who lack the willpower to give up.
I wonder whether the 'long-term mental health effects' affected Mrs Mensch's subsequent career, first as an author of bestselling trash novels and then as a highly opportunistic politician. One suspicious telltale sign is that in 1996 she switched to the Labour Party, because she believed Tony Blair to be 'socially liberal but an economic Tory.' He was in fact neither, as anyone whose brain hadn't been 'messed with' would have known. Another dubious sign is that the next year she came back into the Tory fold – surely Tony couldn't have done anything in the intervening months that he hadn't done many times before.
Such firm convictions and sterling credentials, coupled, it must be said, with highly photogenic looks, had to put the future Mrs Mensch on the short track to Westminster. The new Conservative party was acquiring what's now called a social conscience, but what could be more accurately described as a cynical and irresponsible urge to win elections by promoting candidates chosen strictly for demographic reasons.
Elective politics in Britain, and everywhere else, has become nothing but a power game. Any major political party in the West, and certainly in Westminster, would field nothing but convicted murderers if such a line-up could guarantee votes. Compared to such an extreme scenario, making a parliamentary party reflect faithfully the nation's demographic makeup is child's play.
Hence the candidate's moral and intellectual suitability for office first stopped being the sole requirement for selection, and then faded out as a requirement at all. What matters now is solely the ability to seduce the electorate into casting votes. If people who never studied anything much at school feel we must have a certain percentage of women in parliament, then so be it. No other criteria will apply.
No sane person would mind a 100-percent female parliament if all 650 women were the most qualified candidates for the job. Conversely, no such hypothetical individual ought to object if such an uncompromising approach would produce a men-only House of Commons, or any imaginable mix of men and women.
Louise Mensch has bravely shown by her own example what happens when a political party selects candidates for silly reasons: it gets silly candidates. Moreover, it gets spivs who enter the Commons to serve themselves, not their constituency, and certainly not their country. When self-service comes in conflict with the job, they just up and leave for the greener pastures, such as New York's world of hard rock.
One only wishes we were spared spurious and self-righteous explanations. Just tell it like it is, Louise: you think you'll be better off out of Parliament than in it. That would be honest and also kind, for such a frank admission would let us nod and say that we'll be better off too.

How to Make It
Prick the potatoes several times with a fork. Microwave on high until tender and a fork easily slides into the center, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to a bowl and cover with a plate or foil to keep warm.
In a medium microwave-proof bowl, combine the broccoli, butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Microwave on high for 3 minutes, stir once, then microwave until hot, 3 to 4 minutes more.
Split the potatoes (be careful of the steam). Top with the broccoli mixture and sour cream and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

Considered more than just a beauty routine but also a vital process for maintaining cleanliness, shampooing is not just something to be overlooked. With that said, an interesting query about it begs the question, does shampoo expire? It is no surprise that many of you are curious to know the answer to this burning inquiry.
Curiosity about details on anything you use on your body is immensely beneficial. With this article, I will assist you to find out if the shampoo does expire. Plus, I will also share a few important things you need to know about shampoo and hair washing.
Does Shampoo Expire?
The fact that most shampoos do not have an indication of when it expires does not mean you can store it as long as you want. Like other cosmetic products, the moment you open a bottle of shampoo, it's shelf life starts to tick away. Exposure to air, sunlight, and bacteria can lessen the effectivity of any product, in this case, your shampoo.
In addition to that, humidity and heat also contribute to further its deterioration. Fortunately, there are products that show the expiration date or the best before the date on the bottle. In some cases, you can locate the "period after opening" or "PAO" followed by a number and a letter M. An example of which is "12M", which suggests the product is good to use for the period of 12 months after opening.
However, if there are no marks or labels on the product, the rule of thumb is you can use it for the period of one year once opened. Unopened products can have a shelf life of up to 3 years.
How To Spot An Expired Shampoo
There are three simple ways to know if your shampoo has gone bad and should be discarded. Since in some cases there is no specification of expiration dates on the bottle, you can try these quick tests.
- Give it a good sniff. If your shampoo originally smelled sweet and fragrant but instead vents a foul or rancid scent, it is best to discard it.
- Pour a small amount of the product to check its texture and consistency. If your shampoo is runny or watery, this is an indication that it is no longer good to use. The right consistency should be rich and thick. Components of the shampoo tend to break down as time goes by causing it to lose its rich texture and consistency.
If the first two tests still give you an inconclusive result, add a little water and try to get the lather in your hands. If there is a significant absence of lather or foam, you can conclude that the shampoo needs to be disposed of. For the video version, you can watch it here
Do's and Don'ts of Hair Washing
- Know the right type of shampoo and conditioner for your hair type. Depending on which hair type, you must know the right kind of shampoo and conditioner to use to encourage healthy hair growth.
- Make sure to wet your hair thoroughly before applying shampoo. This will ensure better cleaning of your hair and scalp while shampooing.
- Give your scalp a good massage. When washing your hair using shampoo, massage the product into your scalp using the pads of your fingers.
- Rinse your hair thoroughly. Make sure to rinse off any hair products (shampoo and conditioner) from your hair. Leftover hair products may induce irritation on your scalp or damaged hair strands.
- Use an absorbent towel when drying your hair. After rinsing your hair, use a towel that is absorbent enough to dry your hair.
- Avoid washing with hot water as this can cause damage to your hair. Using lukewarm or cold water is better for your hair and can even give it a better shine after washing.
- Do not apply too much hair product. Using an excessive amount of shampoo will only make it harder for you to rinse it off. This goes the same with hair conditioners.
- Abstain from using too many different products on your hair. There is a wide range of hair products that offer a variety of benefits for your hair. However, using several different products or switching too often may not be helpful in maintaining healthy hair after all. You must keep in mind that these products contain different chemicals that can have various effects on your hair and scalp. It is best to pick out the best product for your hair type and stick to it.
- It is not highly recommended that you wash your hair too frequently. Allow your scalp to produce sufficient amount of natural oils. Washing your hair too frequently will strip away your scalp's natural oils causing it to dry out. However, the frequency of washing your hair will also depend on your lifestyle and environment.
- When drying your hair after you have washed and rinsed it, avoid rubbing it with a towel. Rubbing will create too much friction and can cause damage to your hair strands resulting in frizzy hair. Dab your hair with an absorbent towel instead.
Ultimately, paying close attention to what you use for your overall self-care and beautification means knowing if the product is good for you to use or not. May it be cosmetics, hair products or skin care products, make sure to verify the details and how these products will benefit you. Being aware of these things can spare you from any possible mishap.

From the rulebook:
"the searcher must say, "I am not a thief, I am searching the [object] on your [location]," where the object is a particular container or piece of gear such
as a specific pouch, pocket, or article of visible clothing, and the [location] is one of the basic thief search locations. For example, "I
am searching the bracer on your right arm," or "I am searching the tunic sleeve on your right arm." The dead player would be
required to give up any in-game item(s) in that location." -pp. 29-30
The problem I have here is that I wasn't asked "I'm searching the sleeve of your right arm" or "I'm searching the pouch on your belt". It's that he simply said "I'm rummaging through your pouches", which puts me in an awkward position. Because I know that he has to state a specific location, if I say anything like "Which pouch?" he'll immediately know that I have something somewhere on me. If I say no, I've saved him the time of having to go from location to location on my body like he's supposed to. At first I thought, "Well this makes it more convenient for him..." but later I realized that, Wait a second, this guy isn't a thief, why the hell am I trying to save him time?! The whole point of playing a thief is that they get the benefit of looting bodies much faster than non-thieves. And by wording the question the way he did, he was essentially getting the benefits of a thieves loot skill without having to be a thief.
Am I correct here in believing that his actions were a violation of the rules?

Back in 2010, Asia Bibi, a woman from the Christian minority in rural Pakistan, was convicted of insulting the prophet Mohammed after getting into an argument with neighbours the previous year. She had been in jail ever since, most of this time in solitary confinement. She is now 47.
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court of Pakistan overturned her conviction and she has been freed. However, the decision has infuriated hardliners, who have always insisted she should have been executed. The BBC reports that Muhammad Afzal Qadri, leader of the radical Tehreek-i-Labaik party, has said the three judges who delivered the decision "deserve to be killed."
Saif ul Malook, Bibi's lawyer, rejoices in his client's new freedom, but he suggests she is likely to leave the country for somewhere she feels safe. Perhaps he should do the same, because even those who advocate for the wrongly accused put their lives in danger. Bibi's lawyer from her original trial admitted that he did not openly challenge all the questionable prosecution evidence because he feared he would also be accused of blasphemy.
The courageous former Punjab Gov. Salman Taseer was assassinated by his own bodyguard in 2011 for criticizing the blasphemy laws in general, saying they are used to punish "the poor and defenceless," and for filing a mercy petition specifically for Asia Bibi. Hardliners treated Taseer's killer, Mumtaz Qadri, as a hero. He was showered with rose petals and 500 clerics publicly praised him. Nevertheless, he was hanged in 2016.
Shahbaz Bhatti, the only Christian cabinet member at the time, also opposed the laws and for that was also murdered. His killers left a note promising the same fate for anyone else who opposed the blasphemy laws.
This shows how polarized and parochial Pakistan is, and how far the country has to go before it even comes close to the public enlightenment of developed countries. The critical point about the Bibi case is that she was convicted on hearsay, and this is all it takes for lives to be destroyed. Non-Muslims are especially vulnerable, but when religious fervour is so strong and the power of rumour so pervasive, the blasphemy laws can be used for personal vendettas against anyone.
The Supreme Court decision has already sparked protests. New prime minister Imran Khan has cautiously sided with liberals, saying in a televised address that protesters were inciting people for their own political gain and saying they "are doing no service to Islam."
The blasphemy laws are two steps behind the sort of enlightenment we enjoy in the West. It is disturbing enough that the laws are misused in order to extract revenge. The Supreme Court judges said the prosecution had failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt, and that Bibi confessed when a crowd was threatening to kill her. A civilized decision in the circumstances, using the legal language bequeathed under the British raj but anyone with an inclusive and modern outlook must question the reason for having such laws in the first place, especially with a sentence of capital punishment.
If Salman Taseer were around today, he would be happy with this week's decision acquitting Asia Bibi, but worried that she is still far from safe like others members of her community.
We should welcome her to Canada. What more deserving case could there be for refugee status on compassionate grounds?

This album fits both those categories.
|Daedric Influence
Finding an album that's so well put together that, after repeated listening, every single song has become your favorite at some point is a rare occurrence. Buying an album at random because you like the album cover and liking it is usually a risky move but occasionally pays off.
This album fits both those categories.
I think this is as good a way as any to start this whole thing off, introducing my first Category:
Favorites from the Vault!
In these segments I'll write about albums I've loved for some time, albums I've raved so much about that getting it out of my system in writing is probably healthy. There will be quite a few of these so I'll try to have them interspersed between newer music and non-music related material.
First off an album prone to invoke very polarizing reactions, Unexpect's second full length In A Flesh Aquarium and before I get into the thick of it a little back story is in order:

Black Holes Can Throw Planet
Black Holes Can Throw Planet
Computer simulations show that the gravity of a black hole can throw the planet out of orbit. Black Holes Can Throw Planet
Lumrahnya flung planets will move with a speed of 11-16 million km per hour. However, the speed could reach 48 million miles per hour.
"The planets will be the fastest moving objects in our galaxy," says Avi Loeb, a researcher at the Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Massachusetts, United States, as quoted by the BBC, Friday (23/03/2012).
Keep in mind, with that speed, the planets move 450 times faster than the speed of the Earth's revolution around the Sun. With that speed, people can go from London to New York in less than 1/2 seconds, or could go to the Moon in just 30 seconds.
How can the planet was thrown?. Black Holes Can Throw Planet
These events can be experienced by the planets that exist in binary star systems or a solar system that has two stars.
If the solar system is near a black hole, the black hole would take one of the stars. Meanwhile, another star will be thrown away with super-high speeds.
Planets orbiting a star that could be eaten was thrown.
According to astronomers, the planet is never observed throwing seven years ago. Astronomers detect the presence of a celestial body that moves out of the Milky Way at 2.4 million miles per hour. Black Holes Can Throw Planet

Comments, questions and tips
11th Jul, 2014
Just made this. It's the best! The Cayenne really works to give it a kick. I like low fat recipes. I missed the oil out entirely and added a tad more lemon juice. The only watch point I'd say is hold the salt... Taste it first. Mine was quite salty. Love it. Future family favourite with GoodFood flatbreads. Yum
21st Jul, 2017
Roasted garlic and sun-dried tomato paste makes a med ocean world of difference to this dip-luscious accompaniment!. I also use a full teaspoon of mayonnaise (any variety) rather than yogurt as it somehow makes a much creamier paste, yet only occasionally because yogurt obviously a healthier option. I sometimes also add a bit of paprika to liven up tomato rich variety. My main obstacle with making this simple compote - do not have a hand blender or mixer to thoroughly mash hard chickpeas, yet vast swathes of Greek communities still use the traditional and ancient (beat method) pestle and mortar - larger scale than ones sold in the UK.

Makeup or no makeup, we're all more than just a pretty face. So much so that even makeup itself is more than just, well, a pretty face. Behind the vibrant colors, swooping wands and smooth powders potentially lie what is actually a hotbed for dangerous chemicals that can have severe effects on our well-being as well as the environment's.
Up to 60 percent of what you put on your skin reaches your bloodstream, and almost 100 percent when areas like scalp, underarm and groin are exposed. With this in mind, before you make that feeble attempt to look presentable for your 8 A.M. class tomorrow morning, consider the following cosmetic red flags.
Let's start with lipstick. Like a little black dress for your lips (always flattering, always fashionable), lipstick can actually contain as many as eight metals such as cadmium and aluminum. Endocrine disrupters such as propylparaben can be found as well as titanium dioxide, usually a nanoparticle which can damage the brain as well as other organs. So the next time you get a lipstick mark on your Chik-Fil-A sandwich no matter how carefully you tried to avoid it, it may be best to make that sacrifice and tear that piece of fried chicken off.
Then, there's mascara — an effortless and bold makeup device that also casually happens to have it out for your organs. Toxic ingredients like triethanolamine (which reacts with other ingredients in products to become carcinogenic nitrosodiethanolamine), butylparaben, quaternium 15 and quaternium 22 (both of which release cancerous formaldehyde as they break down), and synthetic colorants damage organ tissues which ultimately impedes with organ function.
Many a time we've counted on our old, trusted friend foundation to provide a clean base or to fade the appearance of blemishes. While it's been nice to us at times, foundation is a phony and it doesn't have our back. With harmful chemicals like propylene glycol and methylparaben, foundation poses a huge threat to our endocrine system. Chemicals like these are important to avoid because the endocrine system regulates all biological processes in the body, including development of the brain and nervous system, growth and function of the reproductive system and metabolism and blood sugar regulation, as well as the functions of the ovaries, testes, pituitary, thyroid and adrenal glands. It's time to cut off loose powders and brush-on foundations as well, for not only do they contain several endocrine disruptors, but they also have other ingredients of concern, too. Some of the best sellers in fact contain neurotoxic chemicals and hazardous inhalants.
To be honest, no one's safe. Not you, your shampoo and moisturizer (both contain DEA-related ingredients that can react to form nitrosamines, which may cause cancer), your perfume (some fragrance ingredients can trigger allergies and asthma) or even your pet fish (chemicals like siloxanes and triclosan found in toothpastes, cleansers, antiperspirants, antibacterials and smoothening products are harmful to fish and other wildlife).
At this point, you may already be walking to the end of your hall, your trash bag full of makeup in one hand and despair in the other. But before you complete the journey to the trash room, hope is still alive. Companies like Lush strive to include fresh and natural ingredients. There are also several organic makeup companies you can turn to such as Sephora's line of Natural and Organic Makeup and Dr. Hauschka Skin Care that will still give you the looks you love from your regular makeup products while also enhancing the inner you too.
Editor's Note: While all of the facts posed in this article are true, they are not true of all cosmetic products. Also, the dangerous side effects of the toxins are just a possible outcome, not a guarantee. So, just be sure to read the ingredients and try to avoid the products that may cause harm.
