Widows featured as a Band of the Day recently, so for more background on the Nottingham stoner punks, you can head over there. Here we get a seven-track blast to find out exactly what the hell "stoner punk" actually sounds like…
Well, first off it's heavy. I mean really heavy. It's also nicely varied. With guitars tuned down to near-Conan levels, this foursome know how to get the windows rattling. However, where the sludgier bands go for an overwhelming wall of vibration, the stoner leagues maintain some harmony and Widows throw around some great, bouncy riffs.
The pace of the music is all over the place from song to song and I think this is the punk influence, which really adds something to what could otherwise be a slow, if heady-noddy affair. Opener and title track "Oh Deer God" is the kind of song you can bounce up and down to, and runs for almost six minutes. It's followed by an absolute hurricane of a track, "Caffeine and Hatred", that owes more to Slayer than Monster Magnet.
These two, hugely different, tracks really set the tone for the album as a whole. Oh Deer God hits so many sweet spots, it almost feels like a compilation album. Catchy, heavy, shredding, thrashy, groovy, mellow… all in different places, yet all by the same band. However, despite all this, the overall sound throughout is very much Widow's own.
I really wasn't sure what to expect when I first put the album on, but once my ears had become used to the grumbling tones the whole thing grew on me rather rapidly. It's hard to pick highlights with the songs being such an eclectic mix, but I'm drawn to the widdly intro to "Baron Greenback Blues" (as well as its title), which kicks off probably the track most deserving of the epithet "a belter".
Oh Deer God won't be for everyone, but it will be for more people than I think the band realise. By adding that punk edge they've opened the stoner genre up to a new audience.
Oh Deer God is out on April 14th on various formats via Widows' Bandcamp page.
Widows are playing some live dates this month, too:
- 08/04 – Rebellion Bar, Manchester (w/Alunah & Pig Witch)
- 14/04 – Rough Trade, Nottingham (Album Launch)
- 15/04 – Gorilla Studios, Hull (w/Mastiff, Sound of Orion & Sinners Sermon)

And that's gotta be a lot of walking, let me tell you.
Because I have to get myself organized and ready to get my nose back to the grindstone and my shoulder back to the wheel, today's post will be on the simple side. Even a Republican should be able to understand it, even if it will still be beyond the capabilities of most Democrats. That's why we're using pictures.
This first one goes out to my blogging friends who are teachers of English (yes, Kathy and Melissa, I'm talking to you) and to my nephew Ed, as he begins his college education in English literature ...
You may remember the utterly ridiculous movie Snakes on a Plane from a few years ago ... a film memorable mainly for its display of Samuel L. Jackson's ability to cram the largest amount of foul language into a given period of time. Here's another, more entertaining, look at snakes on planes ...
The Department of Homeland Security has given up its much-parodied color-coded terror alert system. But we still need some way to distinguish between various alert levels. How about the Terrier Alert Level ... ?
And if that Terrier Alert System doesn't work for you, there's always Bilbo's National Stupidity Condition Index - the DUMBCON. You can read about it here, but here's the graphic for your use:
In case you were wondering, we're still at DUMCON 1 ... thanks to Congress, Iranian mullahs, both political parties, and the financial mismanagement industry, there's no longer any need for DUMBCONs 5 through 2.
Have a good day. More thoughts tomorrow.

Mar 18, 2019 by Confero Inc.
On Friday, February 22nd, Confero was pleased to participate in the 2019 AMC Connections Showcase held at Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, California. Confero client services manager, Laura Leary, and data services manager, Paul Jacobi, joined Confero president Elaine Buxton at this large, interactive event for AMC vendors and managers. During the conference, the Confero team visited with AMC Theatre managers, showed examples of new reporting formats and compared them to previous reports. The team also answered questions regarding the mystery shops and results. It was a great opportunity to meet face to face with managers; as opposed to answering questions by phone or email.

"Dude, I didn't get to go. I'm so pissed and kicking myself in the ass. Paul smoked a blunt with Chuck [The Cool Kids] on stage then got kicked out, went around back, and [saw] Asher Roth in a window. So, he threw a pebble at window... and Asher and Scooter Braun came down and bullshitted with him. Fuckin nuts! Paul's phone didn't work so Asher got Scooter to take the picture for him and emailed it to Paul."
- Texts with Dylan Sutherland (Dollar)
Let me attempt to bridge the gap here a mere bit: Nick Curio (Squid) heard about The Cool Kids' show @ Bam Margera's "The Note" in Westchester, PA, Thurs. evening. He then extended the invite to his Zombie Gang bandmates and a few close friends. Time wasn't exactly on their side and people had prior plans, as most people would on a Fri. afternoon/night... Pauly Patey, Angie Park & Jess DePalma ended up tagging along with Squid.
Yesterday (August 11) was Asher Roth's birthday... HAPPY [BELATED] BIRTHDAY, BUDDY!!! Always the crowd-pleaser, Asher released a new track to his fans in honor of his 26th year - "In the Kitchen:" A Chuck Inglish Production. The Cool Kids' proper debut, When Fish Ride Bicycles is out now, while Asher Roth's Untitled Album #2 is expected TBR sometime in the near future.

DCP Midstream Partners Completes Acquisition of Gas Supply Resources
DENVER, Nov. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DCP Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE: DPM)(the Partnership) has completed its previously announced acquisition of Gas Supply Resources (GSR) from Duke Energy Field Services (DEFS), the parent of the Partnership's general partner for approximately $77 million, subject to standard closing adjustments. The purchase price consists of cash from debt drawn on the Partnership's existing credit facility and approximately 200,000 partnership units.
GSR is the largest wholesale propane logistics company in the northeastern U.S., with six owned rail terminals, one leased marine terminal, access to several open-access pipeline terminals and 475,000 barrels of storage capacity. Also included in the purchase price is the cost of a new wholesale propane pipeline terminal under construction in Midland, Pa., anticipated to be completed during the fourth quarter. The Partnership will provide the capital remaining to be spent to complete the Midland terminal, resulting in the total purchase price of approximately $77 million. The Midland terminal will provide better propane supply and logistics for this geographic region, with good transportation access and 2.3 million gallons of total storage capability.
GSR's diverse propane supply portfolio, significant storage capabilities, and multiple terminal locations allow it, as a wholesaler, to provide reliable supplies during peak demand periods. These characteristics also make GSR a premier base load wholesale propane supplier in the northeastern U.S. and reduce its exposure to unfavorable weather patterns. "We are excited to complete the acquisition of GSR, a business with multiple organic growth opportunities that provides immediate accretion to our unitholders," said Jim Mogg, chairman of the board of directors of the Partnership's general partner. "GSR's business model allows us to mitigate commodity risk by tying the index-based propane purchase and sale prices of our contracts to generate fee-like earnings."
The acquisition is forecasted to add approximately $8.5 million to the Partnership's 2007 EBITDA. DEFS will continue to operate the GSR assets on behalf of the Partnership after the transaction closes.
This press release includes the non-generally accepted accounting principles ("non-GAAP") financial measure of EBITDA. We define EBITDA as net income less interest income plus interest expense and depreciation and amortization expense. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income, operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance, liquidity or ability to service debt obligations.
Our EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company because other entities may not calculate EBITDA in the same manner.
EBITDA is used as a supplemental performance measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others, to assess:
* financial performance of our assets without regard to financing
methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;
* our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy industry, without regard to financing methods or capital structure; and
* viability of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities.

FGC content creator BornFree sat down with Evo organizer Tom Cannon, where the two discussed the upcoming Evo Japan, tournament saturation, and shared their thoughts on inclusivity in the community.
Fighting game fans might know Tom Cannon by his rich history in the community — from creating the largest fighting game tournament in the world, to heading their own game development studio, the Cannon brothers are known throughout the scene as major influencers, and have had a considerable hand in building it up to its current state. Notable FGC content creator BornFree sat down with Tom to discuss his work with Evo, his thoughts on tournament saturation, and to pick his brain on how to make the community more accessible to those who wish to be part of the historically vibrant scene.
Here, Tom recollects in the early Street Fighter IV era, Evo had run an all-women's tournament, where girls who competed in the regular tournament were entered into a separate competition of their own. "It was an experiment to see if we could encourage more women to play," Tom stated. Legendary Soul Calibur player Kayane ended up taking the tournament, highlighting her achievements and helping cement women's strength in the scene.
While the tournament saw some success, many criticized the movement, holding that no group should get special treatment for want of inclusiveness. Tom recognized that things have changed since that time, and that Evo exists now as more than just a tournament series: it comes complete with after-parties and exhibition matches, and movements like Combo Queens are helping create a network for women who are always welcome at their event. "It's hard to be anonymous," Tom said in regards to women in the scene. "We're not aiming to change the FGC, just build more pathways to get into it and stay there."

Tom likewise spoke on the upcoming Evo Japan, which saw a monetary loss this year due to what he called "jump-starting the event." While many Americans felt that Evo Japan was a throwback to Evo's earlier times, the Japanese company the Cannons partnered with chose to skip the growing pains and dive straight into the big time. "I think that represents a strong commitment to build something," he commented. "I would be surprised if an event like that was profitable at year one."
You can watch the full interview here, and hear Tom's thoughts on Beginner's and Intermediate tournament leagues, tournament over-saturation, bringing Evo to other areas, and more.

Katie has been a Metier customer for years and it's always a pleasure to see her in the store in old-school Metier outfits that still look fantastic! She recently launched her food blog, Mom's Kitchen Handbook, with her in our Isabel Marant Tulip dress! Her blog is a great reference for those of us trying to get our kids to eat healthy, but also quite handy for awesome snack ideas- apple & nut-butter sandwiches, anyone?!
Besides our infamous sales, which Katie is a huge fan of, her favorite go-to pieces from Metier include a one-shouldered Alexander Wang dress (that she looked fabulous in, might we add!) and Cathy Waterman earrings that were a surprise from her husband.
Check out her blog & look for her recipes in the SF Chronicle!

- "The hell happened?"
- — Cole, after seeing the destruction around him.
"Introduction" was the first story mission in Infamous.
An unknown person was filming Archer Square and the surrounding area when suddenly, a blackout occurred, followed by a massive detonation. Overhead, a news helicopter filmed as the explosion spread, covering Empire City, before a bus got thrown through the air, destroying the helicopter. As the screen faded to black, a voice was heard saying, "Activation +6 minutes. Pulse is 45. Respiration 10. Lookin' good, Cole."
Lying unconsciously in the center of the destruction was Cole MacGrath, whose clothes were ripped and body badly burnt. Upon waking up, he could hear a police helicopter flying overhead. The pilot shouted to Cole, telling him to get out of the crater and make his way to the nearby bridge before warning someone in the adjacent parking lot that it was falling apart. As Cole staggered through destroyed buildings and smashed cars, he received a call from his best friend Zeke Dunbar, who informed Cole of everything that was happening, and that he would meet him at Fremont Bridge.
Jumping over debris, Cole climbed into the ruins of the parking lot where, as he tried to pass a badly damaged electrical outlet, he received a massive electrical shock from the exposed wires. As his body absorbed the electricity, Cole said to himself that he should be dead, but he continued through the parking lot. As everything collapsed around him, Cole used his parkour skills to jump over huge gaps whilst the police helicopter overhead advised people to make their way across the bridge to the Neon District.
Hearing Zeke's shouting, Cole rushed forward, only to receive a second immense electrical shock, this time however, the electricity he absorbed jumped from him, destroyed several lights and blasted a hole in the side of the parking lot. He finally made it to Fremont Bridge, only to be hit by a third electrical shock. This shock triggered something within him, and as he cried out, lightning struck the ground around him, destroying cars and killing several people around him. With tremendous effort, Cole made his way across the damaged bridge, hearing Zeke shout out, "It's the terrorists!", as more and more lightning struck several objects in his path. Reaching the Neon District, Cole spotted his girlfriend Trish Dailey and Zeke in his blurry vision before passing out.
Civilization Committing Suicide
As Cole slid into unconsciousness, he could hear the voices of those dying around the city, and whilst he was being looked after by Trish and Zeke, the city fell apart. First, there was a plague, quickly followed by a breakdown in law and order, along with riots, thefts, rapes, and civilization committing suicide. To contain the situation, the government placed the city on lockdown, but with the city's police all but gone, the lockdown just trapped the innocent civilians with the "psychos".
As Cole acknowledged the change in the city, he also acknowledged the change in him, and with time, the change has gone from being something "scary" to something he is learning to control — his new powers.
Once Cole regains his consciousness, you must follow the game's prompts to make it out of the wreckage. Press to direct your attention the helicopter. You will then be able to move Cole around. You will need to walk, jump (), and run across the ruins surrounding you to get to safety. Along the way, you will receive a message from Zeke telling you to meet at the Fremont Bridge.
First, you must make it through the crumbling parking garage. Upon entering, keep an eye out for the crumbling rubble, as it can damage your health. Look for a large pipe to take you across to the other part of the parking garage. Make your way to the streets, then head for the bridge to complete the mission.

Casio is launching a new G-shock watch in mid-March 2012. Originally, the launch was scheduled for this holiday season, but had to be delayed because of the floods in Thailand, which is where they are made.
What's new about this model is that it features the new Bluetooth 4.0, which has "Bluetooth Low Energy" standard embedded. This means it consumes up to 70% less energy than conventional Bluetooth watches. To you, this simply means longer battery life. In fact, Casio reckons that a conventional CR2032 button cell can last two years.
That's not all, though. Through Bluetooth 4.0, the G-shock watch can communicate with your smartphone. You can see incoming calls, e-mails and text messages on your watch. In fact, you can even control your phone's ringer volume and alarm via the watch. You can even set your phone to "vibrate" mode using this watch.
As of now, the watch will be compatible with NEC's Medias LTE N-04D Android phone, due for release in early 2012. It will also be compatible with the Medias PP N-01D phone.
The new G-shock GB 6900 watch will be priced at about ¥18,000 (about $230) when it is launched in Japan. It will be available in red, black and white. At this time, Casio does not seem to have indicated a timetable for launching the G-Shock GB 6900 in other countries.
Maybe I'm missing something here, but considering that you can check the time on your smartphone, why would you need a watch on which you can only view your incoming calls or text messages? I mean you still need a phone to speak or reply to your text messages, don't you?

I found this audio selection about six months ago, and I have listened to it maybe 10-15 times since. I think I had heard of Earl Nightingale before, and he reads this philosophy very convincingly. And I really like how it starts… Men simply don't think. How true is this in our million mile an hour world today?
There is a lot of insight and truth in this message—and it's obvious even today with all the hubbub that popped up about "The Secret" about what, 2 years ago now?
I am saying this as a person who firmly believes that we all collectively create this reality, in which we are all currently existing. And one of the main points in this audiofile – 'We become what we think about.' This rings true to me.
Now any skeptic can say that's a bunch of bullshit. Yes, we can't control the actions of others, and if some other being chooses to insert themselves into my life and completely disrupt it, physically or mentally, that is their choice, of course. 400 years ago the native American Indians had to deal with the Spanish Conquistadors, small pox from the English settlers, all the terrible things that history has demonstrated to us of how we have treated each other, Man's Inhumanity to Man. But this Collectiveness – keeping each other down, hindering the process of others… it is my contention that we have reached the point to where we can finally set this behavior aside. I believe we now are in a position to shed this mentality, with the knowledge we have acquired.
Now how many people across the planet have this knowledge? Not many. And how many Despots around the world will attempt to screw with us ( like the Iranian leadership is attempting to mess with thier population, the corporatocracy is trying to keep the world down, etc. etc., it's everywhere ) – we can't control how other people behave. However, we can set the example. AND we can change things for ourselves, for the better!
Just like this example I saw this morning on "Democracy Now" with Amy Goodman. Greenpeace—I'm kind of a fan, and I am open to what they are trying to do. And the Global Warming stuff—I'm not sure how much of it is man made, or how much control we have over it.
However, what is the Right thing to do? If we have the technology Not to litter, Not to pollute, Not to Screw up our Planet, and find alternate ways of all collectively dealing with our way to physically exist here on Earth, aren't we obligated by our Conscience to follow that line of thinking, regardless of the 'cost?' And what is this 'Cost' anyway, compared to how we have squandered over the past 7+ years in Iraq? As the Strangest 'Secret before the Secret' states—We become what we think about. What, exactly, are our leaders, our politicians, the people who really push and pull the levers of power, Thinking about? We need them to start Leading instead of pandering, towards a better, saner, more responsible way of existing.
Wouldn't that be the Strangest Secret of all?

The Frame: Shanghai World Expo Opens
May 3, 2010
SHANGHAI (AP) — A steady flow of visitors joined long lines in sweltering heat at the Shanghai World Expo 2010 on Sunday, a day after organizers said visitor numbers were just more than half of what was expected. Organizers say they are still grappling with estimates about just how many people will attend the massive event aimed at showcasing China's rise as a modern industrial power. Early estimates put the number of visitors over the six-month run of the World Expo at 70 million, the vast majority of whom are expected to come from China.
High temperatures and bottlenecks at security checks and long waits to enter the various pavilions are challenging organizers. On Saturday, when the event opened, organizers said about 350,000 tickets had been sold for Day 1, but about 200,000 people attended. Events on Saturday continued well into the evening, with people still lining up at midnight to visit pavilions.
The European pavilions, which offer a wide range of entertainment, drink and dining, seemed to be attracting the largest crowds. China is splashing out 28.6 billion yuan ($4.2 billion) on the Expo itself, and many billions more on improvements such as public transit for this city of 20 million people. (28 images)
Shanghai's Expo nearly ready – The Big Picture – Boston.com
Organizers of Shanghai's World Expo have been holding trial runs this week, before the official opening this Saturday, May 1st. About 70 percent of the nearly 200 participants participated in the trials, and visitors were already encountering long lines.
Officials now estimate the 6-month event, themed "Better City, Better Life", will attract up to 100 million visitors, 95 percent of them Chinese. Shanghai has spent 400 billion yuan (58.6 billion US dollars) preparing for the Expo, according to state media – more than was spent on the Beijing Olympics. Collected here are photographs of last-minute preparations in Shanghai as they prepare to welcome the world this weekend. (37 photos total)

Mark Refowitz, the Orange County director of mental health programs, on Jan. 27 proposed general outlines for a local program to treat those with the most severe mental illnesses.
The pilot program would include teams to work with severely mentally ill adults, support for their families and immediate shelter for needy individuals while they are being evaluated.
It would be aimed at the same group of severely mentally ill and hard-to-reach adults as Laura's Law. But it drops the key section of Laura's Law that allows a judge to order outpatient treatment for an adult who is severely ill and refuses medication.
Refowitz did not provide much more specifics during his presentation to the Commission to End Homelessness, but he made it clear that implementing Laura's Law in Orange County is off the table.
Reforwitz said the county's lawyers advised him it wasn't legal to use state funds to fully implement Laura's Law, which is designed to help those with serious mental illness, because of the provision allowing courts to order outpatient treatments.
The law permits a court to act if an adult with a history of not complying with necessary mental health treatment refuses to voluntarily cooperate with medical professionals. The patient also must be unlikely to survive without treatment.
The issue has been in the spotlight since last summer, when Fullerton police officers beat to death Kelly Thomas, a homeless transient who had been diagnosed with severe schizophrenia.
This month, Iraq War veteran Itzcoatl "Izzy" Ocampo, 23, of Yorba Linda, was arrested on suspicion that he is the serial killer who stabbed to death four homeless men in North Orange County. Ocampo, whose father is homeless, reportedly suffers from psychological problems.
Advocates for adults with severe mental illness have urged the Board of Supervisors to adopt Laura's Law, which was enacted in 2003 but requires each county to individually authorize its use.
But in October, county health officials gave the board a highly negative report on Laura's Law stating that it would cost $5.7 million to $6.1 million a year to implement and would apply to only about 120 severely mentally ill adults.
Refowitz said Friday the county counsel reported that "due to the involuntary nature of the [Laura's Law] program," money from a later law that provides funds for other local mental health projects couldn't be used to finance implementation of Laura's Law.
Backers of Laura's Law contend the opportunity to seek a judge's order for the sickest and most resistant patients is critical to reaching those who adamantly refuse medication.
Many patients in those cases don't believe there is anything wrong with them. But he possibility of facing a judge — the so-called "black robe effect" — can persuade seriously ill adults to begin voluntary treatment, say advocates of Laura's Law.
Refowitz said his proposal would be entirely voluntary with no court option. He also suggested consideration of conservatorships as part of a pilot program. Refowitz is to provide more specifics at the commission's March meeting.
The commission is discussing Laura's Law and its alternatives because mental illness is a significant cause of homelessness.
During public comments, advocates for the homeless urged the commission to get to work on specifics for ending homelessness.
"We need a sense of urgency here," said Cathleen Murphy, executive director of iHOPE, which helps those who are homeless in San Clemente.

A multitude of data breaches occurred in 2013 due to inadequate security protections. While this is distressing, there are lessons we can learn to prevent this from happening again in 2014.
- Back Up Your Data To Protect Yourself From Ransomware.
Cybercriminals use malware exploits to encrypt your data or lock you out of your PC. They then demand payment in exchange for the decryption key to restore access. Cryptolocker was the biggest ransomware threat of 2013 — Cryptolocker developers acquired $30 million from the collection of ransom fees within a period of 100 days.
Security researchers predict the ransomware trend will migrate to mobile devices in 2014. Many mobile-device users don't practice basic security measures, making them vulnerable to ransomware.
When it comes to ransomware, data backup is the best way to avoid having to pay ransom fees. If you don't have a recent backup, you'll have to pay the ransom or lose your data. This includes the data on your mobile devices.
- Use Strong Passwords
Data breaches in 2013 impacted many users who didn't follow proper security measures, such as changing their passwords every few months. Living Social, Adobe, and Evernote all experienced major data breaches where tens of millions of user accounts and passwords were compromised.
Many of these data breaches occurred because the stolen passwords were weak or stored in insecure ways. Make sure your passwords are secure by choosing a different password for each of your online accounts. Your passwords should consist of letters, numbers, and symbols to avoid successful hacking attempts. If a cybercriminal gains access to one, at least the rest will be safe.
- Use Caution When Downloading Apps To Prevent Infections From Mobile Malware
Mobile malware will continue to grow at a rapid rate in 2014. According to FortiGuard Labs, 50,000 malicious Android samples were detected in January 2013. A threat called AndroRAT hides Trojan horses in various applications. The RAT (remote application tool) allows the attacker to send SMS text messages from the infected mobile device, direct the device's browser to a URL, monitor SMS texts and phone calls, or perform a variety of malicious actions to compromise personal information.
The mobile malware threat isn't limited to personal data theft and adware. There's a huge concern regarding banking transactions performed on smartphones. Malware, such as FAKEBANK and FAKETOKEN, has been developed to steal financial data from mobile-device users. Avoid financial and personal data theft by using caution while installing apps. Only download applications that are approved by your subscriber or smartphone vendor.
- Ensure Data is Properly Deleted or Encrypted Before Disposing of Computer Devices and Confidential Information
When recycling or selling old computers or hard drives you must ensure all your data is deleted. If the data isn't erased properly, it can easily be retrieved. In addition, data stored on media must be protected with encryption or a strong password to avoid theft. When disposing of sensitive paper files, shred them first with a crosscut shredder.
Always practice adequate security measures to protect your confidential information. To learn more about safeguarding your data, give us a call at (770) 321-5532 or send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

As a traffic safety researcher and parent of three young adults, I encourage you to use the 'Avoid the Regret, Avoid Impaired Driving' theme during National Teen Driver Safety Week (NTDSW) and throughout the year with parents and teens. One of the major factors that increases the risk of a crash is impaired driving, which not only includes alcohol or drug use, but also distraction, fatigue, and strong emotions. Keeping the lines of communication open is important in helping to promote safe teen behaviors, as both a passenger and a driver.
According to CIRP@CHOP research, teens who said their parents set rules and monitor their whereabouts in a helpful, supportive way were half as likely to be in a crash in the prior year and 71 percent less likely to drive intoxicated compared with teens who described their parents as less involved. Teens who drink underage or who ride with impaired drivers are more likely to drive impaired themselves.[1-3] Teens who share knowledge about their lives with their parents are less likely to abuse alcohol in the future.[4]
Our researchers are continuing to explore the behavioral aspects of strengthening this bond and recommend parents help teens plan for avoiding impaired driving so they can avoid future regret. Here are a few tips:
Talk about it. It is very important for parents to talk with their teens about riding with an impaired driver and driving impaired. These conversations should occur when they are asked to be driven by newly licensed friends or when they begin to drive on their own.
Share the facts. Alcohol affects our reaction times and ability to drive safely, as do other substances like marijuana and prescription pills. Teens must understand that consuming any of these substances means that they are unfit to drive.
Listen and be responsive to teens' concerns, which are often quite practical. Although it may be difficult to hear, encourage teens to share potential unsafe scenarios where parents may need to help. These can include being asked to drive home with someone who is impaired or driving while impaired.
Develop rules and expectations together. Teens need to know that they can always call their parents for a ride home instead of getting in a car with an impaired driver or driving themselves without being punished. With parents being the reason for saying "no," teens can avoid unsafe situations.
Help teens stay safe and save face. When faced with risky scenarios, including having to refuse a ride from someone who has been drinking, preventing a friend from driving impaired, or needing to be picked up by an impaired driver, consider making a concrete plan to help them stay safe. Decide how your teen will get in touch with you. Use a code word or phrase like: "How is Julie feeling?" that signals that they need help right away. The parent can respond with: "Not well, I need you to come home."
Teens are at a developmental stage where they crave independence, and parents should reward responsible behavior with increased privileges. By discussing various scenarios that can lead to unsafe situations and a plan to deal with them, families can help teens feel comfortable making safety-oriented choices.

BRIDGEWATER — Count Carlton Smith among the many Somerset Patriots tired of losing to the Lancaster Barnstormers. Also count Smith among the many who could not quite do enough to stop the trend.
About one week ago, the Piscataway native, who leads the pitching staff with 41 relief appearances, asked pitching coach Brett Jodie for an opportunity to start against the cream of the Atlantic League's crop in the rotation spot that has remained in flux since Sean Green suddenly retired Aug. 25.
"Brett said he was considering three guys and I was one of them," Smith said. "I said, 'I want it.' It's the competitive nature in me. These guys have beat us and we wanted to show we can hang with them."
The Patriots hung around in the first game of Sunday afternoon's doubleheader but, as often was the case this season, the Barnstormers prevailed, winning 3-1 in front of 4,737 at TD Bank Ballpark to earn their half of a split. Yusuf Carter drove in four runs as the Patriots won 7-4 in the nightcap to snap a nine-game losing streak against the Barnstormers and finish the season series with a 4-16 record.

For the third time this season, the Houston Texans will face a division rival in the Indianapolis Colts. The two split the season series, with the Texans winning in overtime back in September in Indianapolis, 37-34, before the Colts took it to the Texans in Houston three weeks ago, 24-21. But this time, one team will advance in the postseason, and the other will end their season. The first round playoff game is set for this Saturday, with a 3:35p kickoff at NRG Stadium.
Through two games vs the Colts this season, Deshaun Watson was 56-of-80 for 642 yards with three passing touchdowns and one interception, while rushing eleven times for 76 yards and a rushing touchdown. As for Andrew Luck vs the Texans, he went 67-of-103 for 863 yards and six touchdowns with one interception.

Greetings, my fellow port swillers!
There has been an usual amount of lobbying this year among teh Gels to decorate the exterior of Port Swiller Manor with lights and whatnot apropos of the Season (which, this year, seems to have started a couple days after July the 4th)
Fact of the matter is that, as I explained to them yet again, Ol' Robbo doesn't do exterior lights or other fancies. As far as he's concerned, when the purple Advent ribbons are switched out on the front door wreaths for the red Christmas ones on Christmas Eve, his outward celebratory sign work is done.
This did not go over well. Indeed, there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
To which I replied, "Look, when you are all grown up and have your own homes, you can decorate it for the holidays (or for any other reason) however you wish. Until then? Shut it."
Hey, that's me – Mr. Sensitivity.
Mrs. Robbo wants to string up some lights around the back porch ceiling this year. As to that, I'm less inclined to kick, largely because – even though we plan to host one or more holiday shindigs this year, I doubt fairly seriously whether anyone is going to want to venture out there, what with ManBearPig bringing the freeze and all.

ok it's time to make this video. it seems to be one of the things that you guys are most curious about regarding my lifestyle – whether i want kids or not.
the short answer is no.
in this video i will give a longer answer than 'no' – and i will also tell you why children are not for me.
i hope this clears things out !
a little disclaimer – like i say in the video, this is a very personal opinion about my own life. i don't in anyway think it's wrong or bad to want to have kids, i'm just talking about why it's not for me. so if you have kids or want them, you have my full support and encouragement of course ^.^
( but for the sake of the planet, maybe not have a million of them ok ? )
as i'm talking about in the video – i think it's important to talk about the pressure a lot of women get from the society, that we should want to have kids and be all motherly. that we're not complete somehow until we are mothers. how fucked up is that ?
also, i wonder how you guys are experiencing this, have any of you ever felt pressure to become dads ?

Kill la Kill: IF is the latest stylish fighting game published by Arc System Works, who are known for titles like Dragon Ball FighterZ and the Guilty Gear series. An adaptation of the popular Kill la Kill anime, it is developed in collaboration with the series' original creators, Studio Trigger, capturing all the hectic action that made the show so special to begin with.
Just like any fighting game, Kill la Kill: IF can be difficult for beginners. That's why we've assembled our Top 5 Tips for everyone who's new to the game. With these tips, it won't be long before you come out on top as Honnouji Academy's top fighter.
1. Keep It Simple
Many fighting games require lengthy combos and complex button inputs to succeed. Kill la Kill: IF isn't one of them. Instead, it features a universal set of simple controls for every character. If used properly, this simplicity can allow you to perform extravagant combos with ease.
There's no need to overthink every attack. Simply stringing together one or two types of attacks should do well for the most part. There's some excellent combos that simply involve pressing the same button while only changing the directional input on the control stick.
Stick to basic logic when you strategize your attacks. If your close-range hit tossed your opponent halfway across the arena, then you should follow up with a dash, homing, or long-range attack to keep the combo going. As long as you keep your moves flowing quickly and intuitively, you should be able to keep your opponents locked in lengthy combos.
2. Stay Up Close and Personal
In that vein, it's imperative to trap your opponents in those endless combo loops. You'll want to be unrelenting and stay in your opponent's face. Kill la Kill's simple controls make it easy to string together many attacks, and you should take advantage of it whenever possible.
Kill la Kill: IF gives you multiple options to get in close quarters with your opponents, beyond your standard close-range physical attacks. For instance, there's the homing attack, in which you jump in the air and fly towards your target. Obviously, these actions are easy for your opponents to read and leave you wide open to their counter attacks. Thus, it's best to use them only when you've already staggered your opponents with long-range moves (more on that in the next section).
Dash and break attacks are particularly useful. Dashing will help you quickly traverse the large arenas and give you more flexibility to defend yourself than homing attacks. If you dash quickly enough, you can strike your opponents before they have a change to react. However, if they manage block your initial move, don't forget to use your Break Attack to stagger them. While a missed break attack will leave you vulnerable for several seconds, a successfully landed hit can lead into some of the most effective combos in the game, so make frequent use of them.
3. Know When to Stay Back
However, there will be times where it's better to take a more hands-off approach. For some characters, this is effectively required – for instance, Ira Gamagoori can become more powerful by lashing himself, so it's good to move him away from the action for a bit to charge him up. Other characters, such as Houka Inumuta and Nonon Jakuzure, thrive in long-range combat. Distanced attacks are their greatest strength, making it imperative for them to stay far away from their opponents and let their powerful ranged moves do all the hard work.
Regardless of the character you're playing, staying back can be a good idea. For instance, if your opponent is homing in on you, you should use long range attacks to stagger them and stop them in their tracks. Also, if you're getting tossed around in a lengthy combo, ranged attacks can be useful to get out of them. This will leave you an opening to swoop in and start a combo of your own.
4. Be Valorous
Kill la Kill's controls are simple, but there is one wrinkle thrown into the mix: the Bloody Valor ability. This mechanic can turn the tide of battle, even if it's not entirely predictable.
It's effectively a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. Triggered by clicking both shoulder buttons upon filling two SP gauges, it lets you charge your opponent. Both of you will be able to choose whether to Taunt, Mock, or Provoke each other. Whoever chooses the most effective option wins the round – remember, Provoke beats Mock, Mock beats Taunt, and Taunt beats Provoke. If you win a round of Bloody Valor, you'll gain a bonus depending upon the option you chose, such as regained health for winning by Mocking. If you can win three rounds in a single battle, you'll see a massive boost in power and will be able to perform a devastating finishing move.
Of course, just like actual Rock, Paper, Scissors, Bloody Valor is an unpredictable process. It's all about reading your opponent's strategies and body language – which can be difficult to do if you're fighting a computer or online opponent. However, there's a few techniques you can use to guess what your foes might choose during Bloody Valor. If they're low on health, then they'll likely use Mock to regain that health; thus, you should use Taunt to win the round. Similarly, if your foe is fighting very aggressively, then they'll probably Taunt you to deal even greater damage. Smartly utilizing Bloody Valor can change the course of any battle, so it's critical to not forget about it.
5. Take your time
Kill la Kill: IF might be easy to grasp, but by no means is it easy to master. If you truly want to take your game to the next level, you'll need to spend ample time with each of your favorite characters to discover the best strategies.
There's a few resources that can help with this. The game offers various training and practice modes that can help with this. In particular, the various gauntlet and "Covers" horde modes are useful practice for increasing your combo chain and learning how to use the best moves. Take your time in each of these modes to learn the ins and outs of each character. Likewise, every character has an extensive list of commands found in the pause menu. While this list is by no means exhaustive, it's an excellent starting point to learn some of the most effective actions for each fighter. By utilizing these resources and following these five tips, you should be on your way to mastering the basics of Kill la Kill: IF.

IU vs Penn State. This is as great way to spend a weekday afternoon…unless IU loses.
Well, the good news is that IU won. The bad news is that Verdell Jones III was injured in the game and may not play again. I hope it isn't as bad as that. As a senior who stayed with the team through three losing seasons, he deserves to play in the NCAA tournament. I hope he can.
Last night I picked up a paperback book that I bought when I was in college, "Letters From The Earth" by Mark Twain. I spent the princely sum of seventy-five cents for it, new, at the college bookstore. It is a shame that most of the paperback books published back then did not give credit to the cover artist. I don't where the portrait of Twain came from, but it is very well rendered. A quick Google of images did not find the complete portrait, but I may do a more thorough search later. I said I did not find the complete portrait, but I did find the head cropped and put on a refrigerator magnet that was for sale.
Two of my favorite selections in the book are Letter To The Earth and Cooper's Prose Style. Letter To The Earth is a letter from the office of the Recording Angel to a New York Coal Dealer. The subject concerns the prayers of the coal dealer and the way they are dealt with in heaven. This is great farce.
I believe the Cooper piece is actually the second half of a longer work. I have the first half, Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offenses," in a college text, but I'm not sure where that book is. I would like to find it and read the two sections consecutively. Each section is funny, but I'm sure that together it would be hilarious.

The Equinox falls on March 20th, and is an important festival celebrated since the dawn of civilization. Find out how you can become part of the cycle of the seasons and enjoy this special time.
Read all about:
• What the Equinox is
• New starts
• Spring cleaning
• Equinox activities to try
It's the point when day and night are of equal length all over the world, because the sun is overhead at the Equator. There are two Equinoxes, in March and September. For us in the Northern Hemisphere the March Equinox is the Spring Equinox, when days start to be longer than nights and the sun appears to be moving northwards. It is also the point when the Sun moves into the fiery, assertive sign of Aries
Structures such as Stonehenge were built to mark cycles like the Equinoxes. In times gone by, the turn of the seasons and the approach of the sun meant survival. Although it isn't the same for us now, seasonal cycles still govern our lives. So it can benefit your well-being to be aware of the Equinox, to harmonise with Nature and use the Equinox energies positively.
During the early Spring making a fresh start just 'feels right.' Maybe you made New Year's Resolutions (and possibly haven't kept them!). Maybe the first flowers and glimpses of increasing brightness inspired you in February – or perhaps you felt it was still too cold and bleak. Now at the Equinox may be your best chance to re-boot your life.
Of course, you can overhaul your life at any time you choose. However, after the Equinox the 'vibe' is more about blossoming and growing. Far better to put a few plans in motion so you can truly get into your stride towards the end of March.
Brighter light shows up all the dust, grimy patches and muddly corners. It's easy to get used to such things and not to realise how they are affecting your mood and making you feel negative and heavy. Do you need it? No!
Spring cleaning can be as hasty or as thorough as your time and mood allow. You don't have to clear the loft, shampoo carpets and upholstery and redecorate throughout in order to greet the Spring – that is unless you want to. Just look around you and tackle the worst, especially if it's getting you down.
One thing that will really make a difference is cleaning windows and windowsills. That will emphasis the extra light and can be so inspiring! Who knows what you'll be up for next!
Here are a few activities to get you in Spring Equinox mode:
The encouraging arrival of the Equinox can boost you out of your winter doldrums, and we've looked at what the Equinox actually is, making new starts, spring cleaning and a list of Equinox-appropriate activities. Hopefully this will lift you, but perhaps the best way of all to set your Equinox innovations in motion is by having a consultation with one of our Readers. Don't delay, don't feel down – put in a call and give yourself the spring treat you need.

RampNOW Customer Reviews
We are proud of our great reviews from some of the most respected agencies around!
Feedback straight from the customers:
The installers were very polite and informative, they took the time to make sure that I was comfortable in my knowledge of operating the equipment. I purchased the stair lift for my elderly parents to use and it has proven to be the best decision I've made. I would definitely recommend RampNow to friends and family.
The chair lift is AWESOME! It is so much safer for both my mom and myself. She really struggled on stairs and now she just presses a button. I originally started looking into ramps but we just didn't have the room and then Troy suggested the stair lift. I didn't even know they could be installed outside!
I called and looked into quite a few different places….you were by far the most reasonable…another company made no mention of a stair lift…they were going to pour concrete, cut the deck and put in a lift that was $5K more than the lift we had put in.
There were a couple of issues during the installation but Carlos called me and everything was taken care of perfectly. The installers were professional and Ryan was so thorough in explaining everything. You can tell he really loves working for your company. I will recommend your company to everyone that would need your services. I am pleased beyond words.
Thanks so much
Lisa Z.
Thank you Carlos and everyone one at RampNow! I had two companies come out for an estimate and what I liked about the person you guys sent out was that he was the actual installer and not a sales person. He knew exactly what was going to be done. He had answers to my questions without having to check with someone else and get back to me. We are very happy with the end result and the family is more at ease knowing that my mother can easily get up and down the stairs!
We are also a proud member of the:
