Another international tournament, another penalty shoot-out heartbreak. I use the term heartbreak loosely of course considering that to describe anything as such suggests that it was as devastating as it was unexpected, in reality it was neither.
Maybe age breeds cynicism, and with that comes a permanent sense of pessimism but, whatever the reason, when Allesandro Diamanti's penalty sent England home in a frustratingly familiar fashion instead of feeling a keen sense of anguish I, as well as many of the people around me, simply returned to my drink with more of irritated but accepting shrug of the shoulders.
What are we to make of this indifference towards our national squad? It could be put down to a lack of expectation in terms of trophies but my club teams hasn't won a trophy in years and I still find myself wallowing in self-pity every time we lose a league game. So, how is it then that so many English fans have developed this apathy towards their supposed national heroes, and how is it that, no matter how poor our club's form may be we never lose interest there?
Yes, we invest far more time, money and emotion in supporting our local clubs and therefore the disappointment is bound to be felt in a stronger form but the counter argument to that is that these international tournaments come so seldom that we should be chomping at the bit for international success.
I'm not saying that the passion and support is not there for the England team, I, like others, bought myself the new England shirt and would never consider missing a game, yet the national team is just far less effective when it comes to inflicting the same level of pain as our local teams.
Debatably, people feel a fonder association with their local area than with their country as a whole. This kind of provincial sentiment is perfectly understandable yet to cite it as the reason for the dwindling emotional ties with national football is to ignore the globalisation of football.
There are undoubtedly millions of fans outside of England who care far more about the success of Manchester United or Liverpool or Arsenal than they do about that of their own country. Is it that the incessant bombardment of Sky Sports style montages set to classical music have convinced us that football, and, in particular, our own club really is the most important thing in the world?
If you take away the unsavoury fascist and racist elements of eastern European football, the nationalistic pride expressed by many of their fans is demonstrative of everything that is dwindling in England's support.
I know this is not the case nationwide and that there are many supporters around the country for whom international football still is the most important aspect of the game. Yet, when posed with the question: what would you rather see happen – England win the World Cup or your team win the Champions League, an increasing number of people would choose the Champions League.
Personally I tend to dither between the two answers. The World Cup seems more unattainable and there are fewer chances throughout your lifetime to win it but personally I'm of the opinion that the more times you experience failure and defeat the sweeter that victory tastes.
Subsequently, even though England's opportunities to win an international tournament might be far fewer and therefore, in theory, more likely to perpetuate delirium the fact that my club team has caused me so much consistent pain over the course of my life means that were they to achieve the ultimate goal in club football I would inevitably enjoy it more.
We've already begun to accept that the highest quality of football is played by those at club level, are we now starting to accept that this has caused us to care less about national side?
So what matters most in football – club or country? It's a simple question isn't it, but there are so many ways of interpreting it, and any number of ways of answering it. Samsung have asked football fans 'what matters most' to them. I have added my thoughts to the process and I suggest you do the same by clicking here to be in with a chance to win a whole host of goodies, including a Samsung Smart ES8000 55" TV. Why not join the debate…

Yesterday, in linking to Thomas Joscelyn's latest debunking of the "no al Qaeda-Saddam Hussein connection," orthodoxy, I noted that "Saddam was not one to be boxed in without a fight, and since the Clinton administration was not willing to fight, it's not surprising that Saddam saw al Qaeda as a vehicle through which he could operate outside of his 'box.'"
Joscelyn responded to my post by noting:
The most amazing part of all of this to me is that when the Clinton administration launched Operation Desert Fox in December 1998, Saddam's response was to quickly dispatch his top intelligence operative to bin Laden. Bin Laden then issued a condemnation of the U.S.-led air strikes and called on Muslims to retaliate against British and American targets.
We know this because the worldwide media reported [it]. So, when you write, "it's not surprising that Saddam saw al Qaeda as a vehicle through which he could operate outside of his box," I think you are right in ways many will never admit.
One more point. Saddam had good reasons to sneak out of his box, and not just the motive of revenge. Saddam had been humiliated by our military in 1991, and living in a "box" was no way to restore his prestige and credibility. Indeed, one suspects it was no way to live if he hoped to remain a feared figure within his own circle.

Hi, I'm using the Pay-Per-View plugin and I'm doing some tests in paypal sandbox mode.
I created a Paypal app from the developers dashboard, the sandbox mode provides me 2 fake accounts: a buyer and a facilitator. I set the facilitator API credentials into the plugin settings.
Now, when I try to do a one-time view payment, I use my fake buyer credentials to login, I confirm the payment and then Paypal redirects me to the home page of my website.
Moreover, the paypal transaction doesn't exists.
How can I resolve this? Where am I doing wrong?
Thank you

Sometimes the love is so strong and my need for her so great that it can get to a point of possession, where my heart and mind shout that she is mine and mine alone. "Oh can't you see, you belong to me?"
Also, no matter how much I try to move on and find someone else who might possibly love me in return, it always comes back to her. "I dream at night I can only see your face.
I look around but it's you I can't replace"

Basically, the home wiring diagram is simply utilized to reveal the DIYer where the wires are.
If you can't locate the information, get in touch with the manufacturer. The info in the diagram doesn't indicate a power or ground supply.

The circuit needs to be checked with a volt tester whatsoever points. Ibanez Sr300dx Wiring Diagram. Each circuit displays a distinctive voltage condition. You are able to easily step up the voltage to the necessary level utilizing an inexpensive buck-boost transformer and steer clear of such issues.

GHCD 2343 – Fritz Busch (1890-1951) – Beethoven Symphony No. 9
Kerstin Lindberg-Torlind – soprano, Else Jena – mezzo soprano, Eric Sjöberg – tenor, Holger Byrding – bass, Danish Radio Chorus, Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Fritz Busch – conductor
To the CD in our Shop
MusicWeb International Friday March 13 2009
This is the only complete surviving document of Fritz Busch's Ninth. Busch, who in 1922 had been appointed Generalmusikdirektor of Dresden State Opera, was dismissed from that post in March 1933 due to Nazi power. In June, Busch left Germany, only returning at the very end of his life. Soon after his departure from Germany he became affiliated with Glyndebourne; he was its first music director from 1934.
The sound is clear and has fair body, with only mild muddying in the lower mid to bass ranges. Most impressive of all is Busch's structural grasp. He holds the arrival points clearly in mind, and yet never undermines the emotional importance of surface detail. His moulding of crescendi is expertly managed. It is almost as if Busch can maintain Toscanini's fiery surface motion while keeping some of Furtwängler's famous long-range thought. Could Busch have been the missing link between the two, the so-called Toscwängler – a horrible name, I know, but Furtanini sounds even worse?
The second movement Molto vivace is not as tidy of ensemble as the first movement, but this is a sprightly performance. Busch sets a challengingly rapid pace, and at times one can sense the Danish players struggling to keep to the tactus. Timpani solos are incisive, though. It is the Adagio molto e cantabile that is richest in dividends. The opening is serenely gentle and it is here that we really feel the superiority of Guild's transfer, Remastering is courtesy of Peter Reynolds.
The opening of the finale laudably avoids distortion but inevitably perhaps lacks the visceral edge of more modern recordings. The tutti sounds a little blunted. No mistaking the Toscanini-like headlong dash around 5:50. Holder Byrding has to use all of his persuasive powers to get the idea of "other" sounds (joy) across. The recording clearly favours the choral tenors. Eric Sjöberg, the solo tenor, is enthusiastic in his solo leading into the concentrated fugue – wherein Busch generates tension aplenty. There is a ragged, half-hearted choral entry at around 17:30. All is forgotten and forgiven when we get to the magical passage for all four soloists around 21 minutes in. Rarely – if ever – have I heard a quartet of soloists that works so well together and is so perfectly in balance, with all four egos held on a strong leash. Worth it for those moments alone, really; a more long-sighted critical appraisal simply reinforces the strength and integrity of this account of the Ninth.
The Leonore Overture is superbly paced. The strings, in particular impress, especially in the lead-in to the main, fast, body of the overture. Lower strings move adeptly at speed. The solo trumpet fanfares do sound rather brass-bandish, but the drama remains intact, and actually ignites in the tempestuous coda. This Leonore seems to have previously only been issued on LP on Denmark's POKO Records label (PLP8401/3) and is therefore a greater rarity than the Ninth which was previously on multiple labels, including Heliodor and Melodiya (!) on LP and Urania on CD. The present CD was issued in conjunction with two other Ninths (Toscanini/Colón 1941 and Furtwängler/Berlin March 1942). Jonathan Woolf gives a typically perceptive review comparing and contrasting all three here on MusicWeb. This Busch Ninth stands magnificently on its own merits, though, despite the occasional caveat.
Colin Clarke
BBC Music Magazine February 2009
Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, issued separately but with comparative notes, would make absorbing and often intensely moving long-term listening, as one went from one to another. The most recent of them is nearly 60 years old, so tolerance is needed, though the sound is remarkably smooth. Too smooth, in fact: Guild has done a thorough job of de-clicking, and so on, as well as adding appreciable amounts of echo. The presentation, though is slapdash: each issue is alleged to contain a performance of Leonore Overture III by the Same conductor, but in fact the Busch disc has Leonore II; and an disc two of the Furtwängler issue there are supposed to be
two Moments fror Schuberts Rosamunde, but in fact we get one and then the Overture to a Comic Opera by the Argentinian Jose Maria Castro, not a deathless masterpiece and only performed because Furtwängler was in Buenos Aires. Those important sloppinesses apart, the Sound is good enough for anyone not brainwashed by recent technology to recognise that these are performances of a kind one would be unlikely, and lucky, to come across in a concert now. Toscanini's account, perhaps the finest of his that survives, with the Teatro Colón Orchestra in 1941, is intense without being hard-driven in the way that he often was. Tempos are an the whole rapid, but there are moments of relaxation and of almost static ecstasy, and to listen to it is still to be shaken by its integrity. The Busch performance, from 1950, though remarkable given that it was virtually unrehearsed, is in muck betten Sound, but probes the work less deeply, and is, in the light of one's expectations of this great conductor, a bit disappointing. The Furtwängler performance, from Berlin in Manch 1942, is incandescent from First note to last, and indeed one of the most astonishing performances that even he gave of this, or any other, work. The first movement is almost unbearable in its raging fury, the second a nearly insane dance, while the third brings time to a stop. The last movement is less of a Hymn to Joy than a Hymn to the hope that joy 1might return. Musical experiences of this degree of greatness only come a few timen in a lifetime.

The Direct to Video Connoisseur
I'm a huge fan of action, horror, sci-fi, and comedy, especially of the Direct to Video variety. In this blog I review some of my favorites and not so favorites, and encourage people to comment and add to the discussion. If you click on an image, it will take you to that post's image page, which includes many more pics from the film and other goodies I couldn't fit in the actual review. For announcements and updates, don't forget to Follow us on Twitter and Like our Facebook page. If you're the director, producer, distributor, etc. of a low-budget feature length film and you'd like to send me a copy to review, you can contact me at dtvconnoisseur[at]yahoo.com. I'd love to check out what you got.
Hi everyone, it's been a while since I checked the page, and I wanted to make a few announcements.
First and foremost, it appears a dubious site has claimed the old url, meaning any link in any review that goes to the old mattmovieguy url is corrupt. I'm in the process of trying to remove them all, but it's a lot! It's best not to click on any link without hovering over it first to make sure it doesn't have mattmovieguy in the url.
Second, it appears since my last trip to the blog, Photobucket has decided to charge for third party hosting, meaning none of my images are appearing anymore. That's simply an aesthetic issue, but still annoying.
Thank you all for your patience, and again, hopefully this will all be fixed soon.

The Protector (1998)
A friend of mine hooked me up with a copy of his VHS of this flick. The names Frank Zagarino and Matthias Hues were all I needed to hear to give it a look. At the very least it might be so bad it's good, right?
The Protector is about a dude with amnesia, played by Steven Nijjar, who is being chased by all kinds of people, like Matthias Hues and Frank Zagarino and the NSA. He has a disc, or knows where a disc might be, with a virus on it that could have a massive impact on the world economy. Now Nijjar needs to stay alive, find out who he can trust, oh, and I forgot to mention, someone kidnapped his son. Will he make it happen?
We use the term "so bad it's good" so often when dealing with these kinds of movies, but what about "so awesome it's good"?, because, while this is pretty bad, it's pretty awesomely bad. Right away, Nijjar is in a diner which is shot up by a bunch of women who look like a cross between a hit squad and back-up dancers in a Robert Palmer video. His feet catch on fire, he runs away-- into a body of water to extinguish the flames-- and the ladies start shooting at him with rocket launchers, which blow up the junkers at the car lot Nijjar runs through. How amazing is that? Even better, Nijjar's son's voice is dubbed over by a guy trying to sound like a kid. I'm not kidding. How much more amazing is that? Then you have some sweet fights, especially with Zagarino, and between Hues and Zagarino-- some that are choreographed at a higher level than we usually see for a film of this grade. Just a fun 90s DTV actioner.
Let's start with Zagarino. He had some really nice fights, which is what you really want from him in a film like this. He also had some great lines. I've noticed he's at his best as an actor when he's allowed to deliver sophisticated dialog in a monotone voice. When he yells at Nijjar "you're an asshole!", it sounds silly, but if he'd just said it calmly, it would've been perfect. It's a difficult thing for an actor to mitigate a rough screenplay and make it sound natural, and poor Zagarino is often forced to act in films with rough screenplays, meaning he's often caught out. That's okay if he's allowed to deliver on some good fights, and he has a couple nice ones here, especially a good strip club brawl. Not the most memorable of Zagarino's flicks, but not horrible either.
Matthias Hues is up to his old tricks as the film's baddie. I got the sense that most of his scenes were shot in a day, because he's not in many locations. You get a lot of him smoking a cigar, delivering bad dialog, and either shirtless or in a leopard-print silk shirt. Then at the end he gets after it with two fight scenes against Zagarino. Before those scenes, he runs around quite a bit firing a couple machine guns at people off-screen. You could tell that he's done that enough, because he posed in those shots with style. That's what you want from a baddie, loads of style. It would've been nice to see more fights with him though. Like Dolph, he's one of the best pure athletes we see here at the DTVC, especially for his size, and he makes the fights exciting because of that.
I had heard of Steven Nijjar before reviewing this film, but his parts in the other movies I'd done were small (those movies were TC 2000 and Expect No Mercy). This one he's in it quite a bit, and while he can't carry a movie the way Zagarino can as a hero or Hues can as the baddie, he's not bad. He doesn't have many credits to his name after this, so we'll see how many more times he makes it on the DTVC.
There are two kinds of people in this world: those who hear a man speak in a high pitched voice trying to mimic the child that he's dubbing over and think "I need to go on imdb and kill this movie"; and people like me who laugh, text my girlfriend about it, and give the ol' Tiger Woods fist pump. With over 900 of these reviews in the can at this point, it's moments like this that keep me sane; but, also, it's moments like this that I started the DTVC for, and I love that over six years and 930-plus reviews later that I can still be surprised by something I haven't seen before.
This one is not an easy find. As of this posting, Amazon doesn't even have it. It's worth keeping an eye out for it though, because it's a fun time. Low-budget 90s bad action, a great way to kill 90 minutes. So awesome it's good.

Great write-up! Always wanted to see this one. Happy to hear, it's so bad it's awesome! Haha.ReplyDelete
I am all over finding this now!ReplyDelete
Man you are right about this being hard to find. Searching for The Protector 1998 gives you a Mario Van Peebles film of the same name from the same year, and a Matt McColm film of the same name from the same year! Argh!ReplyDelete
This sounds amazing! Another classic waiting for its moment in the sun!ReplyDelete

Lily's Story
Thank you for visiting our company. Don't Go Nuts is not just about keeping people safe from nuts, it's about making people feel safe emotionally with what they put in their bodies.
On the day of my first anaphylaxis incident, food became unsafe for me. I couldn't trust that what someone else made for me was safe. I had a difficult time eating anything for the first few weeks. During that time, I began thinking of this company and how important and amazing it would be to provide nut-free food for people like me. I particularly missed my favorite snacks. Most of the cookies, snack bars and treats either contained nuts or were made in a factory that had nuts somewhere in the facility. As you know, that doesn't work for people like us. We at Don't Go Nuts created a food factory that has never had a nut anywhere near it. The first products we produced are these delicious snacks. Finally, we have food that is fun, delicious, nutritious and most of all safe and free from nuts of any kind. I hope you enjoy them.

5 Top Survey Sites to earn Extra Cash
Are Survey Sites Worth Signing up for?
Some definitely are but you should NEVER pay to join a survey company thats for sure! It is possible to earn a monthly income from filling in surveys.. it just wont be a very big one!
Always value your time. Getting paid 75p for twenty minutes work is only value if there is literally NO other way to earn money at that time. So when my daughter has been asleep on my arm and I'm desperate for a wee but consider wetting myself a better option than waking her, I might fill in a survey to pass the time. After a lot of research I use five survey sites at the moment but I may add to this article over time.
There won't always be surveys available so it's worth using multiple companies to increase your earnings. Some sites use a points system but I prefer those that show me my earnings using the cold hard cash value (even if it is 25p - cringe). They also use varying payment methods and payout limits. Some will pay using BACS/PayPal/AMAZON and others send you gift cards for top high street stores. When cashing in your rewards where possible look out for e-vouchers as they are sent to you as an email (you will need access to a printer) as opposed to being sent gift cards in the post which can take weeks to arrive.
I have to be honest, as my other income streams grow my time for completing surveys is limited, so I often find something I'd like to buy online and then set myself a target to pay for it using surveys. I've also accumulated a few unused Marks & Spencer vouchers that will pay for a food shop & a nice bottle of wine!
Here are the survey companies that I use and some useful (hopefully) info about how they differ.
Opinion Outpost - Sign Up Here
Payment options - PayPal, Amazon, iTunes and gift cards for various online/high street retailers.
Payment threshold - £2.50 for PayPal & Amazon which is payable when you reach 50 points (this is approximately 3-5 surveys). For gift cards the minimum payment is usually £10/200 points but varies depending on the retailer.
My thoughts... I really like Opinion Outpost. The payment threshold for PayPal is really low which means I get paid before I get peeved with filling out surveys. I'm using my payments to pay off an old overdraft £2.50 at a time which I'm sure pleases the bank no end. They also run a quarterly cash giveaway of £5000. Overall I'd say because of the frequency of surveys and the low payment threshold Opinion Outpost is up there as my favourite survey site.
SWAGBUCKS - Sign Up Here
Payment options - You earn Swag Bucks (points) which can be redeemed as PayPal cash, Amazon & a huge range of online/high street retailers.
Payment threshold - £3 Amazon £5 PayPal and various options for gift cards.
My thoughts... Swagbucks is more than just a survey site. You can earn points in a similar way to cashback sites by using their links to shop with online retailers. You can also earn points from watching videos and even searching online and they regularly add codes to their Facebook page which earns you extra Swagbucks. I'm not going to lie I feel I'm a little over their target age range but I still qualify for plenty of surveys and I find them nice to use.
Valued Opinions - Sign Up Here
Payment options - Top online retailers and high street stores. No PayPal option.
Payment threshold - Payments start at £10.50 in exchange for a £10 gift voucher.
My thoughts... I really like that Valued Opinions put a monetary value on their surveys. They don't offer PayPal as a payment method so I tend to get Sainsbury's or M&S vouchers which can be used as cash towards our food shop.
iPoll - Sign Up Here
Payment options - PayPal, Amazon and iTunes
Payment threshold - Minimum of £25.
My thoughts... They have a really easy to use app and plenty of survey opportunities. They also use monetary value instead of points & run a quarterly £5000 prize draw.
Toluna - Sign Up Here
Payment options - PayPal, Amazon and a large selection of online and high street retailers.
Payment threshold - Payments start at 25000 points for a £5 Starbucks voucher. PayPal is 185000 for £35 and Amazon is 107000 points for a £20 voucher. The threshold varies depending on the retailer but there are plenty of options available.
My thoughts... Toluna is a huge online survey and product testing site with a really active community. The site is very sociable if that's your thing. As I've mentioned before I really don't enjoy being rewarded with points and find the thought of needing 185000 of them for a PayPal payment a bit overwhelming BUT the surveys are of course worth plenty of points and overall it works out about the same payment per survey as the other sites. I also find they have the most surveys available.

Box Office: 'Ghostbusters' Earns $46 Million, Beaten By 'Secret Life of Pets'
The struggle is real for Ghostbusters. Although the critical reviews have been surprisingly solid, the movie was unable to take the top spot at the weekend box office, as The Secret Life of Pets remained the No. 1 movie in the country.
Despite coming in line with expectations, Ghostbusters earned $46 million to land at #2. This would be great if the movie didn't have a budget that totals $144 million. Still, this is easily the biggest opening ever for director Paul Feig and stars Melissa McCarthy.
With movies like Star Trek Beyond, Ice Age: Collision Course, Jason Bourne and Suicide Squad on the horizon, Ghostbusters will need to maintain strong numbers at the box office, depending largely on good word-of-mouth, in order to have a chance at breaking even. With that said, Sony might still move forward with a sequel, albeit with a much smaller budget, most likely.
As for the big winner at the box office this weekend, The Secret Life of Pets retained the No. 1 spot with $50.6 million in its second weekend. Overseas, the animated comedy earned $50.8 million to bring its total so far to $254 million worldwide. Another major winner this weekend was Finding Dory, which has become the highest-grossing animated film in history at the domestic box office, with $445.5 million. With its $11 million gross, Finding Dory lands at No. 4, one full month into release. It was only just barely bested by The Legend of Tarzan, which continues to hold onto a top five spot in its third weekend at the box office, coming in at No. 3 with $11.1 million.
Rounding out the top five is Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, which earned $7.5 million to put its domestic gross at a healthy $31.3 million. The movie is inching closer and closer to matching its $33 million budget, so this movie might turn a profit yet, provided it gathers a following. We're in a bit of a comedy drought this summer, so it makes sense that people are turning out to see this film. There aren't many other options, after all.
But how did the rest of the Top 10 do at the weekend box office? Check out the full Top 10 below:
1. The Secret Life of Pets ($50.6 million)
2. Ghostbusters ($46 million)
3. The Legend of Tarzan ($11.1 million)
4. Finding Dory ($11 million)
5. Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates ($7.5 million)
6. The Purge: Election Year ($6.1 million)
7. Central Intelligence ($5.30 million)
8. The Infiltrator ($5.29 million)
9. The BFG ($3.7 million)
10. Independence Day: Resurgence ($3.5 million)
What, if anything, did you see at the theaters this weekend, and what do you want to see at the movies in the weeks to come? Sound off in the comments!

My Hubby and I love to watch movies – he has an insane recall for movie lines and actors' names. I one day hope all this great knowledge will somehow bring us some type of income on Jeopardy or something….anyway…we are both a fan of Nora Ephron movies….do you remember the cute movie with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan called "You've Got Mail"?
A couple of weeks ago when I was sick with my cold, it came on HBO and I so enjoyed seeing the movie again! I also was struck by how much this movie introduced us to Vintage and French country décor.
First of all – I loved Meg Ryan's hair in that movie – and I think I had it styled that way a couple of times…. Secondly, did you ever watch a movie and just say "boy, I wish I could live in that space"? That has happened to me a couple of times. The first time was when I saw "About last Night" with Rob Lowe and Demi Moore – it was an early 90's movie and when I went to find images of the apartment to share with you I couldn't find any online! I guess that goes to show how old it is!
But I digress from "You've Got Mail". I loved both Tom's and Meg's apartments in the movie for different reasons. Meg's apartment was a prewar apartment I would say; a large studio with all this wonderful character and windows and nooks and crannies– who would not want such a quintessential NYC apartment? I know I sure would!
The set designer filled it very eclectically with the Vintage rustic table in the kitchen – with the big white breadbox underneath – which of course I would love to have…. Then the rustic table in the eating area – with the cute flower love seat (which by the way was the material I used at one point in time in our master bedroom.)
To the wonderful wall to wall bookcases, the use of old signs, to the free floating desk where she would sit to hear those classic words when email first came on the horizon (you've got mail).
Do you remember logging on to see if anyone would ever email you back? – Or was anyone out there? Have times changed, our kids will never know that feeling. They will always have mail.
Finally, the piece that I think really influenced my design and my love for French décor was her headboard in her room. I have always loved fabric headboards and hers had a fabric insert with wonderful details of wood. I loved how it fit the space and how the room seemed all eclectic and yet at the same time, flowed so well from one part of the space to another.
So after I watched the movie and looked around our bedroom – which probably is the most concentrated area in our house of French country, I see the influence in our headboard, the eclectic mix and match of furniture, the fresh light that Meg Ryan's apartment had in the movie.
Oh to be a set designer – wouldn't that be fun! What movies have influenced your design and had you ready to just want to crawl into the TV and curl up and read a book?

Thousands of generations ago a monarchy existed on the islands of Libersia. Like sentries guarding its kingship, three smaller islands surrounded the main island that was called the Main Island. A slew of smaller ones peppered the surrounding sea. Most of the Hartons lived on the four islands.
The King was of the family Faithprowl. They prided themselves on their warrior prominence, unifying the islands after a disastrous war that lasted and killed dozens of generations. Their prestige continued into the monarchy, keeping the peace from many rebellions.
Falcon, the first Warlord of what was to be the province of Puer, had sent ships into Shimasanee Ocean to search for isles. His battles with the infamous Waya, family of Woodcrusher, took massive tolls on his Harton army. Those ships found Libersia, a peaceful and spiritual people. Libersians weren't certain of their own origins, whether they had come from the main continent or not. And they didn't know what a province was let alone who Warlord Falcon was.
Falcon and the King of Libersia had a historic meeting. Falcon convinced the King that a ruthless barbarian by the name of Waya was on his way to conquer the islands of Libersia. Falcon said he wanted to warn the King before Waya made his way to the islands. Waya was twice the size of the largest Harton, had a wingspan of a small eagle, and devoured only wolves. Libersians are a massive and strong people, so to think someone was twice as big with such a large wingspan scared the King.
But Harton warriors of the islands used primitive wooden weapons fashioned with teeth from various animals. They would be no match for the voracious barbarians that wielded iron weapons. Falcon agreed to share the wonderful technology of iron if the King would sign a treaty to join the fight against the barbarian. Needless to say, the King of a proud people declined. Falcon then offered the King to form a province that would ally with Falcon in the fight to rid of the barbarian. Fearing for this supposed threat, the King agreed. And the province of Libersia, the second in the seven, was born.
Reliq is a direct descendent of the King who made Libersia into a province. Even though history has revealed Falcon's deceit, the Eldens have made little effort in reverting back to their monarchy. Why would they? They'd lose control over their districts. As provinces, they are independent of each other, but do work with each other to trade goods, seer ices and knowledge.
In the morning of his life, Reliq relished stories of the ancient monarchy and the King who turned Libersia to a province. Reliq found himself flying to one of the remote islands, pretending he was King, protecting the Hartons of the island. It was a rude awakening when his father forced him to serve in the Legion. Apparently, he didn't want Reliq to be a daydreamer and become an artist, a foul and awful existence for a Harton with such a warrior bloodline that reached back to the last King.
Despite Reliq's massive body and strength, he wasn't the best soldier. Unlike others, he didn't rise from the initial rank of warrior until he met Warlord Hinun, a legendary commander who invented his favorite weapon, talons. Hinun took him under his wing, taught him everything about warfare, dueling, and gave him a set of talons fit for a Libersian. Reliq rose through the ranks so fast that Hinun made him a disciple, and he became part of the distinguished Seven.
He won't admit it to anyone, but Warlord Reliq still finds himself daydreaming of his days as the King of his small island. Not a ruthless one, but one who leads with heart and kindness. But duty is first. Loyalty to those who helped him rise comes before anything he wants in life. With the death of Hinun, Reliq's loyalty falls to Logan, Hinun's first and most ruthless disciple.

Well, we decided not to use the shutters in the reading room after all…
We loved the idea of having shutters, but we just couldn't get used to the look of them. They were really easy and inexpensive to make, so it's okay that they didn't end up working out.
Basically, I sent Kevin to Lowes to get some picket fence posts ($1.30 per picket) and four small hinges so we could attach them to the window.
He used an old plank of beadboard (we salvaged from an old, abandoned house next door to my Mom's) across the top and bottom…
And would you believe all he used to hold everything together was wood glue?
(Waaay easier than finding the right sized screws!)
I might try and use them somewhere else, maybe as doors or maybe some sort of wall hanging. We really do like them….just not in the reading room.
In other news, my shutter-making husband is flying home from New York today.
He flew there yesterday to meet with a record label that's interested in signing his band. This will be there second go-round with a label (they first got signed to Geffen Records in 2001, but got "dropped" in 2005). It'll be interesting to hear about his big night in the Big Apple when he gets home tonight.
All I know so far is that they took him to Morton's for dinner last night and that he was presented with a menu that had his bands name printed on it.
Definitely a lot fancy-schmancier than our usual supper set-up: tray tables in the living room.
I'm glad he had an opportunity to go out and be spoiled for a change. I'm very proud of him and no matter what happens, I'm just happy he knows there are people out there that still love his music. (In fact, he was so touched by your comments about it that he's been talking about writing and recording an acoustic/piano record just for you lately.)
The house was so quiet without him here yesterday.
Not that's he's super loud or anything, but he is usually either playing acoustic guitar or working on some part of the house.
When I'm home alone, I don't even turn the TV on. I just listen to life outside my window and that helps me feel less alone.
Since it was obvious that we were the only ones home, Mr. Bean even hung out in the living room for a while…
He's very skittish, and normally hides all day long when anyone other than myself is in the house.
Maximus, on the other hand, was a little on edge all day…
He kept looking out the window for "Daddy".
We got him when he was very little, so he's super attached to the both of us…
It's hard to believe he turned four last week!
He's always cold, so he can often be found curled up inside my clothing as I work on the computer.
Okey dokey artichokey, I've gotta clean up the house before Mr. LC gets home, so I better get a move on- I've got about sixteen projects going at once for my "Mantel Mania" post next Monday and it looks like a tornado blew through here!
Alright. I'm off to see the Wizard. Wait, I mean, the Swiffer.
Have a happy day!

Max Synapse Review | Best Brain Supplements
Almost every working individual has experienced some form of a need for a supplement to keep them focused and alert. Many have resorted to the number one used drug in the world, caffeine. If you're looking for something more effective than caffeine that is also crash-free, safe, and inexpensive, nootropics are your best bet. Read this review to learn why Max Synapse failed to rank on our Top 10 Brain Supplements list.
Benefits Of Max Synapse
- Increased focus
- Increased concentration
- Sharper memory
- Improved and elevated mood
- Neuroprotective effects
- Healthy brain function
How Does Max Synapse Work?
The newest trend among people looking for something to help give themselves focus and clarity is a growing category of supplements called nootropics. Nootropics are often referred to as smart drugs and are usually made of natural ingredients to help give you a crash-free sense of clarity.
Nootropics usually work in one of two different ways. The first way is by influencing the neurotransmitters in the brain, and the second one is by affecting hormones in the brain. Either way, nootropics work to help boost your cognitive ability and increase your ability to concentrate on specific tasks.
Max Synapse is a nootropic that utilizes many different natural ingredients in order to give you the healthiest brain boosting supplement you can find. It works to improve the ability of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, while also stimulating glutamate receptors.
Now you may be asking yourself what acetylcholine and glutamate are, and what they have to do with cognition and focus.
Glutamate and acetylcholine are the most important neurotransmitters in your brain linked to learning and cognitive ability. After a certain age, the number of these neurotransmitters decreases, and your ability to retain memories and recall information begins to go down hill.
Taking a nootropic like Max Synapse may provide you with the protection your brain needs to withstand the side effects of aging, as well as improve your overall cognitive ability.
Max Synapse Ingredients
Bacopa Monnieri: Bacopa monnieri is a flower that is native to southern and eastern India, Australia, Europe, Africa, Asia, and North and South America. This medicinal herb is also used to increase certain chemicals in the brain that stimulate cognitive ability, which is why you'll see it in just about every one of the best brain supplements.
Learning and memory are heavily influenced by bacopa monnieri, and some research has even suggested that it provides neuroprotective effects from chemicals involved in Alzheimer's disease. In addition to providing positive brain boosting effects, many people have used it as a treatment for epilepsy, asthma, ulcers, tumors, and inflammations.
L-Glutamine: This is an amino acid that is produced naturally by the body, and is the most abundant in our blood stream. This supplement has also been used to enhance mood and has been used to treat disorders such as ADHD and depression. In addition to these uses, you could use it to lose weight fast, build muscle and burn fat.
Gingko Biloba: Gingko Biloba is an herb picked from the oldest tree on the planet, the maidenhair tree. This herb has been used for centuries to cure many different ailments. The primary function of Gingko biloba is to improve blood flow by increasing circulation. It primarily increases blood flow to the brain which allows you to have feelings of intense concentration and focus.
L-Carnitine: This provides neuroprotective benefits while also helping against the side effects of aging. It helps with people who feel as if their cognitive functioning is on the decline.
GABA: GABA is used for its calming and tranquil effects. It helps those who experience anxiety improve their mood while also helping those with ADHD relax and concentrate.
Vitamin B6 , B12: These vitamins help increase energy and concentration, while also promoting proper growth and development of the brain.
Pros of Max Synapse
- Increased focus
- Increased concentration
- Sharper memory
- Improved and elevated mood
- Neuroprotective effects
- Healthy brain function
Cons of Max Synapse
- No Customer Feedback available online
- Ingredients are very low compared to other nootropics
Max Synapse Conclusion
Max Synapse is a nootropic that utilizes natural ingredients in order to help you improve your focus and concentration, without having to take illicit prescription drugs or deal with the side effects of caffeine. While all the ingredients in Max Synapse are really good, they come in low dosages that may not seem good enough compared to other nootropics.
To see some top notch nootropics that use clinically proven ingredients in very powerful dosages, check out our list of the Top 10 Brain Supplements. Any nootropic off of that list is sure to do the trick.

The other recipe I want to share with you from my winter in trenches requires a bit of a rewind on the holiday calendar. I know that Easter is fast approaching and thoughts of Christmas are far (and for some, thankfully) behind us, but this recipe was birthed out of that season. Just hang with me here because the recipe at the end of it is so so so worth it.
Pour buttermilk mixture into flour mixture and stir just till everything is nice and wet. Don't overmix here or you won't have the wonderfully flaky texture that makes my heart flutter right now just thinking about it. Turn your dough onto a generously floured surface and flour your rolling pin as well.
Spread your softened butter over the entire surface of the dough except for about a ½ inch border around the edge. In a small dish, combine sugars and cinnamon. Sprinkle this concoction evenly over the butter.
Then roll up the dough, starting with the long side, giving yourself a long log. Pinch the seam. Then cut off 1 ½ inch slices.
Place them cut side down in your greased pan. Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes or until a light golden brown.
Eat them about 10 minutes after you take them out of the oven: not too hot to scald your tongue with the molten hot sugar filling but still warm and flaky and sublimely delicious. It is my belief that these rolls need no obnoxious addition otherwise known as icing. But if you daren't dream of eating a cinnamon roll without drizzled sugar on top, then by all means whisk up some powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to satisfy your obscene sweet tooth. And a very Merry and very belated Christmas to you all!

Yesterday Måndagsgruppen played at Grönvallsalen. They played swing, bebop and mainstream jazz, just as adverticed. They played the swinging "Don't get around much anymore" and on the bebop side the played a couple of songs of the brothers Nat Adderley and Cannonball Adderley.
Måndagsgruppen consists of Bosse Broberg (trumpet), Sture Lundén (trombone), Ulf Lindsjö and Lars-Olof Naessén (saxophone), Håkan Hedstrand (piano), Curt Andersson (bass), Richard Johnsson (drums) and Mikael Jansson (song).
Måndagsgruppen translates into "The Monday group" because they practise on Mondays. I wish they had had a little more imagination when coming up with a band name.
The concert experience usually become even better when you share it with someone and this time I couldn't have asked for a better company.
The photos are taken by me and may not be published elsewhere without my permission. Contact me if you want to license them.

This picture was taken up in Hendersonville after hanging out at the Apple Festival. We desperately needed to cool off!
Sleep: Hips are still hurting, but I am so tired lately I have been able to get in some good sleep. I get my best sleep up until midnight, so I try to go to bed as early as possible to get some good sleep.
Mileage: 2 miles. Not my best week. Have a lot going on and not much of an opportunity to run.
Miss Anything: Just being comfortable. Those days are over, at least for the next 15 weeks.
Cravings: Really salad this week and anything that is cold.

Faithful Deeds Foundation
"No More Broken Promises, No More Broken Hearts, No More Silent Cries"
James 2:14-26 New International Version (NIV)
Faith and Deeds
What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, "Go in peace; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds."
Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.

Translations of the Odyssey
Translations of the Odyssey in 24 official languages of the European Union will be exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art in Ljubljana from 14 to 23 November 2014.
A travelling exhibition of the Odyssey in 24 official languages of the European Union was initiated by the Field Offices of Directorate-General for Translation of the European Commission. The exhibition started its tour in May. Before the end of this year it will visit a number of capital cities of Europe, accompanied by various cultural events. The Odyssey in modern translations reminds us both of our common European heritage and of the linguistic diversity of the European continent. Cultural diversity and multilingualism are values defining the European Union from its beginnings and represent one of the cornerstones of integration. The 10th anniversary of EU membership celebrated by Slovenia and nine other countries in 2014 is thus an opportunity to appraise the contribution of languages and literatures of those countries, including translations of Homer and other works of Graeco-Roman antiquity, to Europe as a cultural unity.
The specific focus of the events taking place in Ljubljana in November is symbolically linked to Odysseus' journey from Greece to Italy, the two countries holding the presidency to the EU in 2014. The international symposium The Odyssey Between Greece and the Latin West and the presentation of the Latin translation of the Odyssey by the Renaissance scholar Andreas Divus from Koper will invite the visitor to reflect on the contribution of authors, scribes and translators who transmitted the poetic wealth of the poem to medieval Europe, to the European Renaissance and to the modern world.

The United States Drinks More Wine that Any Other Country in the World
By Matt Goldstein
Americans have now become the leading consumers of wine throughout the world. Per capita, France is still miles ahead but the U.S. has caught up in the amount of wine sold. Not only has the United States increased in wine sold and per capita over the last few years, France has fallen. Wine sales in the United States have actually increased during the recession and have had 17 straight years of growth. U.S. sales grew to about 12.2 gallons of wine per capita sold in 2010 with a total estimated value of about $30 billion and wines from California have accounted for 61% of total sales. Congratulations to the United States and all of our wine drinkers. Cheers!

?Magic moment? for Torchbearer Johnson at Stonehenge
The American sprinter ? who won 4x400m gold in Barcelona in 1992, 200m and 400m gold in Atlanta in 1996, and 400m gold in Sydney in 2000 ? was the first Torchbearer of the day, carrying the Flame at sunrise.
"It was a great experience to carry the torch around the iconic Stonehenge," he said afterwards. "This was incredible, just a really incredible, magic moment."
The Flame later travelled through Salisbury, Dorchester and Lyme Regis on its way to Weymouth, which will host the sailing events during the 2012 Olympic Games.
On arrival at Portland Harbour, Torchbearer Katrina Hughes ? who narrowly missed out on selection for London 2012 in the two-person 470 sailing class ? passed the Flame to two-time Olympic gold medal-winning yachtsman Rodney Pattisson, who sailed with it across the bay before passing it to 20-year-old community worker Ryan Hope, who was waiting in a rowing gig to take it to Weymouth beach.
Ryan then handed the Flame to charity volunteer Di Ludlow, who carried it along the beach into the Evening Celebration, which featured music from Wretch 32.

If the second full day of March Madness was designed to ensure that nobody would end the day with a perfect bracket, well almost nobody (we'll get to that), it felt the college basketball world was righting itself on Saturday afternoon. The Round of 32 began with several straight games featuring favored teams beating their lower-seeded opponents in mostly uneventful fashion. Then No. 11 Dayton, who kicked off the upset-filled Round of 64 on Thursday when they knocked out in-state rivals Ohio State, eliminated No. 3 Syracuse to crash the Sweet 16. For the rest of the night, no team on either side would be safe until the game's final buzzer.
Dayton Flyers once again pull off the round's first upset
The final minute of game time seemed to take a small eternity in real time, with the in-game action interrupted by four team timeouts and eight free throw attempts. This trend in college hoops usually drives viewers crazy, especially when it's deployed to artificially extend games that have long been decided. In this game, though? In this game there was drama, as No. 11 Dayton desperately tried to maintain its slim lead over No. 3 Syracuse, who were refusing to allow them any separation.
By the time each team exhausted all of their available strategies, there were four seconds left in regulation. Dayton held a 55-53 lead but Syracuse's Tyler Ennis held the ball. Ennis had hit a jumper just moments before that cut the Flyers' lead down to one and, as everyone on both sides certainly remembered, hit a dagger of a game-winner against Pittsburgh just last month. As Ennis launched the three-point attempt that would decide their fate, it was easy to imagine that every Dayton player saw their tournament lives flashing before their eyes.
Ennis's shot instead clanged off the rim. The Dayton Flyers had eliminated the Syracuse Orange in the Round of 32's first upset. The Flyers were headed to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 1984, and there was rejoicing in Dayton. Maybe a little too much rejoicing.
It was a rough game for Syracuse, who most notably missed on all ten of their three-point attempts. While the Dayton defense deserves a lot of credit here, Syracuse's inability to adapt will only increase criticism directed at head coach Jim Boeheim. Saturday's defeat is Boeheim's sixth loss to a double-digit seed as a head coach, the most in NCAA tournament history. Defenders of Boeheim would point out that this is partly a result of his longevity. After all Duke's Mike Krzyzewski is among those tied for second place, and most would give him positive marks as far as head coaching is concerned.
The one person who may have more of a reason to be upset at Boeheim than anyone else might be Brad Binder, who, until Syracuse's loss, had the last perfect bracket in known existence. While his inability to predict Dayton's victory didn't cost Brad Binder a chance at a billion dollars, he did not sign up for Warren Buffett's Billion Dollar Bracket Challenge, it did end his brief run as an internet celebrity.
For those of us whose brackets had shot well past imperfection and into the realm of disastrous ruination, Dayton's upset was a joyful thing, a return to March Madness after a dreary afternoon of sensible predictability. Maybe the Round of 32 should have taken a cue from the Round of 64 and started things off with the Dayton game which felt like it "broke the seal". After this first upset, the rest of Saturday's games featured the surprising lead changes, dramatic finishes and unexpected outcomes that populated the schedule on Thursday and Friday.
Shabazz Napier's offensive explosion dooms Villanova
Here's the fascinating part about Shabazz Napier's night: the UConn Huskies senior guard only had 4 points in the first half of their 77-65 upset over No. 2 Villanova. With 12:09 left in the first half, the Wildcats had a 16-9 lead over the Huskies, who were forced to lift Napier after he picked up his second foul of the game. Without their best player, Connecticut went on a 16-5 run to close out the first half.
Teams very rarely get better with their most important player on the bench. When it does happens, it's safe to say that the player-in-question normally doesn't end up scoring 25 points in 25 minutes while becoming the MVP of a day's worth of tournament games. Napier returned in the game's second half hitting a barrage of three-pointers against a stunned Villanova, eventually scoring 21 in the second half.
As hot as Napier was in the second half, UConn fans had to be worried late in the game when Napier crumbled to the ground after trying to play with a bruised shin in the game's final minutes. While this gave Wildcats fans some hope, UConn once again were able to continue to impress offensively without their star. UConn maintained the lead until Napier made his return, making a spectacular layup that all but cemented the Huskies' upset win over Villanova.
Top seeded teams hung on
• While they struggled a bit in their first games of the NCAA tournament, No. 1 Florida and No. 4 Louisville ran into very little trouble in their second games. The Florida Gators easily defeated No. 9 Pittsburgh 61-45 in the first game of the Round of 32. After that game was settled, the Louisville Cardinals knocked off no. 5 St. Louis 66-51, causing actor Rob Lowe to mourn the tournament elimination of his brother-in-pronunciation Rob Loe of the St. Louis Billikens:
• Okay those weren't exactly thrilling victories, but that lack of drama might be why Nate Silver's tournament predictor had Louisville and then Florida slotted as the two programs most likely to win immediately afterwards:
• Also Happening On Saturday Afternoon Department: The second-seeded Michigan Wolverines defeated the seventh-seeded Texas Longhorns 79-65. San Diego State's Xavier Thames scored 30 points to help the No. 4 Aztecs defeat the No. 12 North Dakota State Bison 63-44. College basketball writers began to pine for the drama and nonstop action of covering Spring Training baseball.
Post-Dayton drama
• While No. 2 Wisconsin escaped a potential upset courtesy of No. 7 Oregon, their 85-77 win required them coming back from a 14 point deficit. That has to be tough for the Oregon Ducks but they should have talked to NC State about the bad luck that teams who have built 14 point leads seem to be having in this tournament.
• No. 4 Michigan State, a trendy pick to win the whole tournament, had a surprisingly rough time with No. 12 Harvard. The Michigan State Spartans let a 16 point lead slip away to the Harvard Crimson, who even briefly held a two-point lead late in the second half, but they were able to rally for a 80-73 win. (If the Spartans had let a mere 14 point lead slip away, they obviously would have been doomed.) It was a rough night for Harvard, but some helpful folks on the internet were able to offer some meager condolences:

The concept of the pro-ecological tax or support is proposed in this article. It could replace the existing subsidy mechanisms for renewable power technology or could represent the ecological taxes burdening the fabrication of consumer products based on nonrenewable resources, e.g., electricity from the conventional fossil fuel power plants. Moreover, the proposed concept for renewable power technologies could represent a new system of subsidy based on physical laws. The proposed pro-ecological tax or support is defined as proportional to the thermo-ecological cost (TEC). TEC expresses the cumulative consumption of nonrenewable exergy burdening the fabrication of the considered consumption of the product with the additional inclusion of necessity of compensating adverse environmental effects due to harmful waste products rejection. It is assumed that calculating new exergy tax or subsidy for electricity, the total cost burdening the final consumer remains the same. This principle determines the coefficient of proportionality between the cumulative consumption of nonrenewable exergy (TEC) and the value of the tax or subsidy. In the case of nonrenewable electricity generation, the TAX causes the largest price growth. The higher is the efficiency of power technology, and the lower is the TEC of fuel, the lower tax is provided. In this paper, the prices of electricity produced from renewable and nonrenewable resources are calculated, taking into account the unavoidable consumption of resources. The unavoidable exergy consumption is caused due to the power plant construction, which is distributed through the whole life cycle of the plant. Results of calculation of proposed subsidies are compared with the current Polish system for supporting renewable power technologies.

No routine transfers for govt staff with autistic kids
NEW DELHI, Nov 17, 2014, DHNS:Central government employees who have autistic children will not have to face routine transfers any more.
Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh on Monday took the decision to include autism in a list with the Department of Disability, after the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) examined the scope of bringing the developmental disorder under the definition of disabled.
"Considering the fact that a child with autism spectrum disorder requires constant support of a caregiver and it would be imperative for government employees with such children to take of their child on a continuous basis, it has been decided to include 'autism' in the term 'disabled' in the office memorandum," read a DoPT.
I am not sure if this benefit is extended to the armed forces also.
