The Secret Circle S01E03: "Traitor"
Things change. People change. I'm not the same person I was several months ago when I was racist against orcas. Back then most of my waking hours were filled with designing and distributing anti-orca pamphlets at malls and county fairs. I picketed Sea World and frequented anti-orca chatrooms, which is how I met my similarly orca-racist wife Felicia. We had several slightly beautiful children, each more racist against orcas than the last. Then one day something clicked and a thought occurred to me. Maybe orcas aren't just the slippery nightmares of the ocean? Maybe my anti-orca prejudices were simply a vestigial remnant of my own parents' old-fashioned orcaphobia? Was I just repeating the cycle of orca racism for no real reason? To test this theory I brought Felicia and the kids to Sea World to get up close and personal with these enormous, mystical aquabeasts. And do you know what happened? During the middle of a live show an orca jumped right out of the water in one glorious burst, its majestic silhouette backlit by heavenly sunlight. Then it flopped out into the stands and ate my children and Felicia in one single, terrifying chomp. Just ate them right up! Oh, it was awful. But the thing was, they'd all been kind of getting on my nerves lately so I had a hard time getting too upset over it. I wasn't even that mad at the orca! See what I'm saying? I'VE CHANGED.
The Secret Circle has changed also. Mapping the ups and downs of this baby show has been a pretty popular sport ever since this show began, but it's been pretty consistently great for the past few episodes and "Traitor" especially reminded me of how far it's come. If this were the OLD Secret Circle, Grandma Jane either wouldn't have been killed all the way or her death would've been covered up and forgotten about until Season 3. Same with Diana's biological parentage situation: The old version of this show would've just had her keep it to herself and everyone would've just carried on like it was NBD. But instead, the new and improved The Secret Circle just swaggered on onto our TVs and handled its beez. YEAH SHE'S DEAD, WHAT OF IT? So yeah, we were already experiencing a great episode and we were only 5 minutes in! And this was BEFORE the Cinemax-worthy makeout scene, the nightmare clown imagery, or the SHOCKING twist!
Ch-ch-ch-changes. "Yes we can." - Some guy
So we began at Cassie's house right in the middle of a wake for poor Grandma Jane. I THINK it was the next day? Chance Harbor citizens really know how to mobilize during a tragedy. Anyway, we got a genuinely touching opening shot of Cassie drifting through the crowd numb to the world while the theme music played all gravely. It was a nice touch. I love it when characters on teen shows deal with death in realistic ways. Like, I love how Cassie began to manically project her troubles onto Diana.
Diana didn't have a lot to say about her discovery that Blackwell was her father and that seemed to REALLY get on Cassie's nerves. I actually took this to be really poignant: Cassie really does seem to wish she had a sister. She's lonely in life!
Then Jake arrived, apparently having just heard a rumor that Jane was murdered by witch hunters.
Fortunately Faye intercepted him and calmed him down with sexy promises.
Quick question: Anyone know what's going to happen to Cassie now? She has no legal guardians! Her father is technically DEAD in the eyes of the government, so just the paperwork alone could take years to sort out. Honestly, I could seriously get into a Season 2 where Cassie has to live with a series of foster parents. Wouldn't that be so weird? Or maybe an oblivious grad student aunt could move in and mostly just open doors?
Anyway, to say Cassie was feeling pretty raw about life would be an understatement. And that included her still-broken heart.
Adam dropped by Cassie's room and she talked emotionally about how she basically has no ties left to her pre-witchcraft life. Adam did his best to cheer her up:
Yeah. His words definitely worked on Cassie better than they worked on me.
So then Blackwell swung by Cassie's room for an awkward chat.
He explained that even though Amelia was his soul-mate, one time he was naked and fell onto Diana's mom who was also naked and she got pregnant and it was definitely an accident. Then he changed the subject back to Jane's death and Cassie got super riled up again.
Back downstairs Faye and Jake combined their powers to try and steal Dawn's prescription medication, which Faye assumed were downers or whatever.
I honestly don't know what made me do this:
So yeah, as I mentioned earlier, right off the bat Diana asked Charles point-blank about her DNA situation.
He was definitely thrown by the question, and even though up until that point he didn't seem to have been aware that he'd been cuckholded, he basically confirmed that it was probably 100% possible that Blackwell snuck one in there. And yeah, same reason: He and Diana's mom had briefly broken up so she probably at one point rolled naked down a hill and into Blackwell who was having a naked picnic at the time and she ended up getting pregnant. I don't know. Charles definitely did not seem very interested in getting a DNA test. So yeah, case settled.
Diana and Charles definitely seemed to still be inseparable, but they were both pretty rattled by this turn of events. (Also Diana's scarf was cool, I kept looking at it the whole time.)
Back at the witch house, the Great Crystal Scavenger Hunt was still in full-effect! But now they could use the crystals they already had to somehow locate the remaining 2 crystals.
I loved that the map was basically blank except for a couple of lines and circles but they could still pinpoint exactly where crystals were located in town with a 10ft margin of error. I would've loved a ten minute sequence where they got out protractors and graphing calculators in order to figure out what the exact co-ordinates were. Just kidding, I wouldn't have loved that, but I would have laughed a lot.
Oh, right, the crystal in Jake's bedroom:
I couldn't believe this:
Jake bit Faye in her bathing suit area! Is that even allowed?
I liked the idea that they were actively grossed out by each other and they'd have to get high in order to enjoy themselves.
I also liked that apparently Faye thought a dozen pills would make the same rattling noise as a single chunk of quartz.
Meanwhile Melissa and Adam were tearing up the Boat House basement (I think?) looking for his grandpa's CLOAKED crystal. Which means they were searching for an invisible thing. That is still tangible. And the other magic crystals can't detect it because they have eyeballs apparently. I don't know.
This girl had ALL the answers though:
Haha I have no idea why Adam and Melissa decided to get crunked in the middle of the day, except that maybe the writers thought it would be entertaining to make Jessica Parker Kennedy act drunk for the rest of the episode? They were right, it was!
So then Diana finally broke the news to the rest of the gang that Blackwell was her father.
And Faye was visibly mad! After finding out that Blackwell was not HER father, I guess she hoped that nobody else in the circle was his child either. Seriously, have you ever seen someone wish so hard that their parents weren't their biological parents? Take it easy, Faye.
Oh, and then the table began to spin and this happened:
The crystal sank into the table and disappeared! (P.S. I love that they were using a graffiti'd half ping-pong table. That was a nice touch.) So yeah, they'd been WITCH-POCKETED!
Meanwhile at Adam's place, Dr. Melissa was on the scene:
He'd apparently stirred up some feelings toward Cassie earlier in the day when they'd kissed, and it reminded me of how dumb Blackwell's elixir was. It erased his love for her in that moment, but weren't they still human beings who would remain exactly the same and just fall in love all over again? So that was happening. Except Adam was still scared of activating the curse, so I guess that's the only thing keeping him from getting back with her. But let's be real, Jake just has to piss Adam off once and he'll be climbin' up in Cassie's bed all over again.
So anyway, Adam found one of his grandfather's coins and suspected the grandfather used to use actual magic when he'd do the coin-behind-the-ear trick. So Adam decided to reverse-engineer a cloaking spell.
Halfway there!
Elsewhere Charles requested the company of Blackwell and it did NOT go well.
Yup, Charles strolled right into that coffee shop and kicked some dark magic behind! When Blackwell stood up to fight back, Charles pointed out that the whole room was watching. The same room of people who'd just seen Charles assault a man and destroy private property? They would NOT approve of reasonable self-defense. So yeah, Blackwell didn't want to upset them and he backed off.
Out in the woods, the remaining four decided they needed to meet up with one of Jake's old witch hunter buddies in order to figure out just which witch was helping Eben. Don't ask me how they knew where exactly to meet up.
And then THIS GUY showed up! Apparently Isaac couldn't make it because he'd been killed by
Teen Wolf contractual obligations Eben, so the kid from The Killing and Tower Prep (sigh, Tower Prep) came in his stead. He explained that a witch had helped Eben, but then Eben fired the witch and ordered his death, but Isaac was like "no way," and then Eben killed Isaac for his insolence and then the traitor witch ran off, declaring a death wish upon all witches AND witch hunters! Complicated stuff.
And then Cassie got up in the guy's face demanding to know why he'd killed Jane.
This was a great beat. In no uncertain terms the show was telling us that Diana and Cassie are going to be standing in each others' way in the future. And shockingly enough, it's telling us that Diana's the hero. Again, I was half-expecting Diana to turn into some kind of villain this season, but now I'm getting the sense that Cassie's the one slipping away into the dark side while Diana's the one who'll save her. Love it. So good.
Another thing I love is when my local affiliate writes my captions for me:
Aside from the visual joke of this guy having a Joker smile now, I love the idea that a food business paid to have their ad placed over an image of a guy with bloody gums. Very, very appetizing.
A recurring theme of this episode was that Diana's dark magic has only exhibited itself in the form of judgment and condescension towards her friends.
I love that Diana is the one now regularly triggering Faye's wrath. Cassie can take a break for the time being.
So anyway, the mystical coffee-stained placemat then instructed the kids to go find a crystal at an abandoned amusement park. Excellent!
And across town, Adam somehow managed to 'uncloak' the hidden coin. He did it by, get this, reading the latin written on the coin. Clever, right? By the way, it makes me laugh that Adam's grandfather was so lazy that even when he did a fairly run-of-the-mill sleight of hand trick for a child, he still cut corners by using actual magic. Really dude? Why not just LEARN the coin trick like every other grandpa in the world? Anyway, that was one lazy witch because he also consolidated all of his cloaked items under ONE spell. So basically you say the phrase once and every last thing that's been cloaked would be revealed at the same time.
Including this fancy wall drawer:
Unfortunately the crystal still wasn't in there. Only disappointing girlie mags that drunk Melissa did NOT care for.
Meanwhile at the town's nightmare emporium:
Seriously, we were meant to believe that this carnival was operational during the summertime, but why was the entire facility Halloween themed?
This was cute:
Nobody tell Disneyland about this:
Cool family-friendly mural! Anyway yeah, this was a fun location.
Loved this part:
Because first of all: WHY? Second of all, you are witches who are literally more powerful in numbers. Just why on earth would you split up in this place? Oh, The Secret Circle. As good as you are lately, you still can't help but dabble in laughable horror clichés.
Back in town, Blackwell was trying to get Dawn on his side.
This scene also confirmed that Blackwell had indeed slept with Dawn, and unless I'm misinterpreting him, he grossly admitted to trying to insperminate her and she had been sad about his failure to do so. I don't know, but it was so unsettling. Anyway, Blackwell told Dawn that if she'd help him destroy the witch hunters, he'd go onto murder the elders and they'd all get their powers back. Dawn was obviously interested and agreed to go manipulate Charles into NOT moving away (which he'd decided to do).
Except... Then when Dawn cornered Charles in his immaculately designed kitchen (remind me again why he never knocked up his wife nor married another woman afterward?) she seemed to be immediately sympathetic to Charles.
Dawn made her case that Blackwell needed to be stopped, so it appeared that Charles would be sticking around to make that happen.
So what's cool about this is we have no idea which side Dawn's playing for. She DOES want her power back very badly, but she also seemed really ticked that Faye had been recruited by Blackwell. I think this is just good writing here: Dawn could go either direction and it would be believable. Personally I'm guessing that she's going to be more protective of Faye than anything else, but who knows? I'm definitely getting the sense that Jake may not be the only orphan by season's end.
Back at unamusement park, Jake and Faye ran into their old pal Ian and he was NOT having a good time.
Did you like when Jake still tested Ian's pulse? And how spooky was it when the ride turned on and there were MORE bodies?
WHO was killing these witch hunters? Was it the mysterious hooded figure lurking in the shadows? Or did the witch hunters come to realize their hypocrisy and commit suicide at a brokedown carnival? It wasn't clear.
Oh, but guess where Adam's newly uncloaked crystal was? This map made it VERY clear:
Just FYI, it's at the high school.
Not that they'd attended classes in a while.
Back at the park, Diana decided to finally tell Cassie off about her dark magic. Her point was that Cassie had embraced it a little TOO quickly, particularly when it came to setting dudes on fire. Self-defense or not, Cassie had definitely taken more lives than Diana was comfortable with.
Again, good writing, because Cassie's case was equally compelling. Dark magic is kind of the best? It's saved their life so many times! Diana still wasn't impressed. What a hippie.
The witch traitor! He was off wheezing in the shadows and Cassie focused her gangsta-gaze upon him. And you know what that means:
We knew we were dealing with a powerful witch when he BUSTED through some bars:
Or maybe it's just a janky carnival? Either way.
At the same time, Jake and Faye stumbled upon the traitor witch's nest, a storage closet in the back of the Haunted Mansion™.
And the witch traitor either wasn't of sound mind, or he just had a faulty ballpoint pen he was constantly trying to get flowing again:
And WHAT was he doing with a photo of Jake's family?
We were about to find out:
Deciding that her tiny ponyfeet had pranced across the park long enough, Cassie stopped in her tracks and did the next best thing she knew how:
And sent a spear HURLING at the fleeing witch! But because Diana begged her not to slaughter him senselessly, at the last second Cassie did this:
And because we are not Jake (and we occasionally read CW press releases), we had immediately figured out who it was...
NICK! It was Nick, everybody! Even though I was 100% in favor of his murder in that it cleared the way for Jake's arrival, this is still an undeniably cool turn of events. I'm interested to see how they'll explain his resurrection. And, you know, what exactly he's been up to since Charles drowned a demon out of him. But still, this is just a cool callback to how the season began, so I'm pretty excited about this. It had been foreshadowed that Nick would be back, but I still had no idea that HE was the one lending power to Eben. Didn't see that coming.
So yeah, that was just a good episode of television. We're entering really treacherous times with regard to renewal/cancellation, and I personally cannot understand how the ratings for this show have declined even as its quality has accelerated. I'm honestly guessing it's a delayed reaction: Maybe some viewers subconsciously gave up on the show around midseason but only stopped watching recently? But on the upside, I'm predicting that the delayed reaction effect could hold true for a Season 2 and ratings will go back up after people get caught up over the Summer and realize just how strong Season 1 is ending up. I don't know, I'm not a Nielsen scientist. I just want a Season 2, is what I'm saying.
Okay, see you next week BYE!
... Are you happy to see Nick again?
... Whose side is Dawn on?
... Do you agree or disagree with Diana?
... How do YOU feel about clowns?

As a RADIUS server you can use freeRADIUS or Microsoft's IAS server. If you're using the latter you can find info and basic configuration for the IAS server in the first part of this article. Basically you have to declare the client and set up a remote access policy (set Service-Type = Login) and a connection request policy. You also need a security group that will be allowed to validate the remote access policy (you can't specify single users).
I won't describe the installation of Squid, it's not this article's topic.
The authenticating module I used is squid_radius_ath. You can find it here. Download it, unpack it and compile it. You will get a squid_radius_auth executable that you can move to a safe place. It needs a config file, squid_radius_auth that should contain the name of the RADIUS server and the secret:
server radius_server
secret secret_phrase
You need to point Squid to the authenticator so place something like this in squid.conf:
auth_param basic program /path_to_auth/squid_radius_auth
auth_param basic children 5
auth_param basic realm Please enter your domain credentials
auth_param basic credentialsttl 8 hours
Next you have to condition Squid to allow only authenticated users. In the following example users that are in the local LAN are allowed without logging in but users that don't show up in the local users file (localusers) are asked to login:
acl passwd proxy_auth
acl localusers src "/etc/squid/localusers"
http_access allow localusers
http_access allow all passwd
http_access allow all
You'll also have a log of who and when logged on to use the web services on the RADIUS server's logs.

So, as it turns out, I didn't actually get the extra time to do a good entry like I had wanted, and since I'm working almost every day next week, I've got to get back on track, or I'm going to lose it! When you're a bartender in Louisville on Derby week, you don't have time for extra Shakespeare, I guess.
One brief thing I noticed about Lady Macbeth. "You mar with all this starting" (V.i.45-46) struck me, particularly because once Macbeth started down this line, he's fallen to the point that, "what's been done cannot be undone" (V.i.69). And after Lady Macbeth's suicide, or I've always assumed it was suicide, perhaps there is another dozen interpretations, Macbeth falls into despair. To Macbeth, her death is a result of the great chain of being that we are all a part of–we will all die–and it seems he doesn't see, or chooses not to see, his role within her death.
Oo, now that we're talking about death, a side note to point out lines that made me say aloud, "That's so cool!" Macduff states, "Make our trumpets speak; give them all breath,/Those clamorous harbingers of blood and death" (9-10). The reason this strikes me as being so wicked awesome, lies in the image of breath. To give another one's breath or blood, in any ancient understanding, signifies the giving of ones life. Breath=life. But here, it is a signifier of war, death, the end of life–but the giving of ones life too.
Which brings me to my last point. Death. In this play, those that die are innocent, some are even the descendants of generations that will never live on. What Macbeth has done results in the destruction of the generation under him. He is truly a tyrant, in that sense. But, did not Caesar do the same? He completely destroyed the Republican consciousness of the Roman people by elevating himself to the point of king. There are a few allusions to Caesar in this play, made by Macbeth mostly, and I wonder what Shakespeare is saying about these two men and their tragedy. How they affect the generations after them, what types of men are they? Caesar did not listen to the oracles–Macbeth did. Who turns out the better?

I'm hanging out with Roxanne at Roxanne's Realm today for the Deep Down Things Virtual Book Tour. My guest post is about how to write crazy. How do you write crazy? It's quite a challenge. Here's an excerpt:
What we do as writers is try to portray in words what it feels like to be alive. In some cases, we're trying to show what it's like in extreme situations ~ what it feels like to die or to go crazy. Sometimes this comes from experience, but sometimes we have to extrapolate from we know and we've heard from others. (Good fiction often needs research, just like nonfiction.)
See, that's the problem. How do you portray "crazy"? We use the term to discount someone and push them away and try NOT to understand them, but as a writer you can't do this. You're trying to show the specific ways that their thoughts prompt their antisocial actions. But, unless they've become catatonic or had a severe break, you have to make this understandable to a reader. With Jackdaw, I wanted to show that he's rational, but his rationality has gone beyond. He makes what seems like a logical decision, but that decision is horrible (trying not to spoil the ending for you).
I hope you'll stop by! I'm so honored to be there!

Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, Feb. 25
By Huseyn Hasanov - Trend:
Ishanguly Amanlyev has been appointed Turkmen Ambassador to Tajikistan (Dushanbe) upon Turkmen President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov's decree, according to a presidential announcement.
Turkmenistan and Tajikistan refer to the trade and economic sector, electric power industry, textile and light industry, agriculture and transport as the priority areas of cooperation.
The construction of the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Tajikistan railway was launched in 2013. China, Kyrgyzstan and Iran can link in.
Tajikistan lacks energy resources. Turkmenistan is the largest supplier of energy resources in Central Asia.
The existing transport infrastructure allows Ashgabat to export electricity to Turkey, Afghanistan, Iran and Central Asia. Moreover, Dushanbe is interested in increasing oil product procurement in Turkmenistan.
Turkmen President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov and Chinese President Xi Jinping, who was on an official visit to the country, agreed on the fourth direction of the Turkmenistan-China transnational gas pipeline in September 2013. It is expected that new gas branch will be laid along the Turkmenistan-Uzbekistan-Tajikistan-Kyrgyzstan-China route.

Lindsay Lohan wants to marry lesbian lover
Lindsay Lohan might soon be sporting a wedding ring on her ring finger.
The star, after being spotted with a diamond ring on her ring finger, has reportedly told former beau Calum Best that she wants to marry her lesbian lover Samantha Ronson.
Adding fuel to the reports is the news that Lohan and Ronson were seen passionately kissing at one of P. Diddys boat parties.
According to British tabloids, Lohan has not only told friends she wants to have a partnership ceremony with Ronson at Dolly Partons theme park, Dollywood, in July, but that shes already starting to call her herself Lindsay Ronson.
The news comes on the heels of Lindsays father saying that the actress romance with gay DJ Samantha Ronson is evident to anyone with half a brain", reports the Daily Telegraph.
He added: Just like the topless Marilyn Monroe spread, Linds is my daughter and there are just some things a father doesnt want to see or hear, regardless of whether they are true or false.
Michael says his daughter is a big girl, and she can make her own life choices. Then it is between her and God".

Anyway, this new Nippon update does the following:
- New Hero choice - Kensai. I originally planned to have these guys as skirmishing special units, but skipped them since they would be too similar to Kabuki Dolls/Ronin. Instead, they are more similar to Estalian Diestros, as characters that specialize in fighting in Challenges. Like the Diestro, they can also make use of different duelling techniques, and wear no armour whatsoever. This gives Nippon a little more of the archetypical Samurai duels that are so present in Japanese culture, without changing the primarily historical base of the main list.
- Ronin now starts without LA and can purchase it as an option instead. This allows players to use unarmoured Samurai in their army for more model variation.
- Tengu may now buy optional naginatas (halberds).
- Batake Clan Mon now allows Samurai Warriors to carry handguns. This was done to give players a bigger incentive to use this Clan Mon.
- Ashiwara Clan Mon nerfed. It now only removes the penalty for firing at long range, not re-rolling 1's To Hit. Can't remember if I fixed it earlier already, but that's the way it works now regardless.
- Fixed a large number of spelling/grammar issues in the history section.

For any business you need support from institution or investors to raise funds. This may be in the form of Equity or Debt. It is obvious that to set up business and to grow, entrepreneur overlook a few window dressing not only of their legal structure but also their financial statements. This may not be by way of misrepresentation of financial systems but by way of lack of smart representation of their financial numbers. Any institution or investor look for the transparency and clear structure of business as well as transparent systems and processes to run and manage the business. We help business to meet this requirement so that they get ready for funding before they actually go to investors. This exercise is critical to avoid any negative perception being developed with the investor, which not only delay but even negative thought process may would stop them to relook at the business for reconsideration as well.

Nice figures and great story! It has been too many years since I last pulled Anatomy of Glory off the shelf. Now, I must revisit your Montmirail photos.ReplyDelete
The Anatomy of Glory is a great read. I only acquired my (very lightly used) copy about 2-3 years ago at a convention for the paltry sum of $30... a small fraction of what it would have cost 10 years ago. Good for me now, but a bit sad for when I pass on! That stash of books so carefully collected may have far less value and interest than it would have 20 years ago!ReplyDelete
Great extras for the table. I have a plan for a few of these, but there is so much else on the painting list as well.ReplyDelete
I bought my copy of Anatomy of Glory when I was a member of the History Book Club; in the '90's. Good luck to the unlucky one that has to sort through my books and miniatures.Replies
Thanks. Mike. Yes, that is a bit on an issue, although one we don't lkike to think of; what will become of our collections of books, figures, etc, collected and with much energy over the years. Of course, the absolute worst thing would be for someone with no idea of their value. monetary or otherwise, top just throw them out.. Ideal would be to pass them on to friends and/or relatives who would understand their value, both monetary and sentimental. Intermediate would be to sell them off ion various ways. Some kind of wargaming estate planning is probably needed!Delete

An explosion rings through the air, the sky splits open, and fire rains down upon the ground. You jump into the driver's seat of the nearest vehicle, and slam your foot on the gas pedal, speeding down a crumbling road towards a bridge over a body of water. You swerve to avoid the jagged asphalt and streams of magma. You ascend the rising bridge that steadily splits in two, and launch into the brisk air. You slam down on the other side, and speed away . . .
Let's talk about feminism; a buzzword, unifier, and divisive term all rolled into one. What does it mean to be a feminist in the world of music? How can artists best utilize their voices to empower women in a male-dominated industry, and promote gender equality in a realm where misogyny runs rampant? Paradise is the newest full-length from Canadian band White Lung, a group that possesses the answers to these questions.
Praise be to riffs that tear the sky asunder, the ones dripping with liquid fire, the kind that this record is chock full of. Here are ten blistering punk rock songs clocking in at under thirty minutes, crafted by the trifecta of Anne-Marie Vassiliou on drums, Kenneth William on guitar, and one of the most intensely charismatic frontwomen in Mish Barber-Way. The extreme energy never lets up, and there are catchy melodies abound.
Previous White Lung albums displayed the trio's unmatched ability to spit poison all over an oppressive system, but Paradise is quite different. These are songs about grasping life by the balls, about taking control of an existence unhindered by suppression, about stepping into the minds of individuals (including Barber-Way herself) who live life fully and fiercely. If you're seeking blistering, riff-heavy punk rock, this album is for you.

Hey, remember all that stuff I wrote about Josh Harding a couple days ago? Sticking out halfway through last year on a bum hip, what a great guy and teammate he is, how hard he's fought to come back ready for the new year?
Russo has the latest.
I feel so bummed for Harding. He really is one of my favorite NHL players, even if he is only a backup goaltender. And don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled for Anton (assuming he does, in fact, nail down the roster spot). He's a good kid and a talented goalie with a super attitude and a heck of a strong "Aw, Shucks" factor. Of course, pretty much every member of the 2009 Aeros playoff team's going to have a special place in my hockey-loving heart. Man, that year was fun.
Still, I can't think of worse guy for this to have happened to. Good luck, #37. The entire staff of FOMW believes in you.

Conference Adjusting to Europe
Thanks to funding made available by the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung – Baltic, Timofey Agarin and Alexander Osipov organised a conference at Vytautas Magnus University Kaunas, Lithuania, on August 29-30, 2011 entitled "Adjusting to Europe: Institutional Legacies of Communism and Ethnocultural Diversity."
Communist Institutional Legacies and Management of Ethnocultural Diversity
Cordell, Karl, Timofey Agarin, and Alexander Osipov (eds.), Institutional Legacies of Communism: change and continuities in minority protection. Abingdon and New York: Routledge, 2013.
The impact of the European norms, standards and policies of minority rights protection on the countries of Central Eastern Europe and in the states of the former Soviet Union have been intensely studied. However, the institutional dynamics inherited from the Soviet nationalities policies have barely been in a focus of interest. The project asks how institutional legacies of the past impact on policies supporting minority communities in the new Europe since a range of the formerly communist states have accessed the European Union. Much academic and policy-oriented research has been done on the impact of European norms and institutions on the post-communist democratisation, yet none on the reverse influence. Now, 20 years following the demise of the Soviet states and its nationalities policies, we ask how the European political institutions reflect the experiences of the communist era and whether, and if so how, the institutional dynamics are reflected in the EU relations with its postcommunist neighbours. The project raises questions about the role of communist institutional and ideological legacies in contemporary European minority politics.

Afatinib Extends Advanced Squamous NSCLC Overall Survival
Advanced squamous non-small-cell lung cancer survival is boosted by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor afatinib compared with erlotinib therapy
- Date: 02 Jun 2015
- Author: Lynda Williams, Senior medwireNews Reporter
- Topic: Anticancer Agents / Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer / Therapy / Biological Therapy
medwireNews: Second-line afatinib offers a significant overall survival (OS) benefit over erlotinib for patients with stage III/IV squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), LUX-Lung 8 trial results indicate.
OS analysis from the phase III trial was reported this week at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) held in Chicago, Illinois, USA, and follows earlier reports of a progression-free survival (PFS) advantage for the irreversible tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and ErbB-2.
The 398 patients randomly assigned to receive afatinib 40 mg/day had a 19% lower risk of death than the 397 patients given the reversible anti-EGFR TKI erlotinib 150 mg/day, with median OS of 7.9 versus 6.8 months, reported the LUX-Lung 8 investigators.
And this OS advantage was found after 6 months (63.6 vs 54.6%), 12 months (36.4 vs 28.2%) and 18 months (22.0 vs 14.4%) of follow-up, said Jean-Charles Soria, from Gustave Roussy Cancer Campus and University Paris-Sud in France, and team.
Afatinib also offered significantly better outcomes than erlotinib in terms of median PFS (2.6 vs 1.9 months), objective response rate (5.5 vs 2.8%) and the disease control rate (50.5 vs 39.5%).
In addition, patients given afatinib were significantly more likely to have gains in global health status and quality of life (QoL) than erlotinib-treated counterparts (35.7 vs 28.3%), as well as improvements in cough (43.4 vs 35.2%) and dyspnoea (51.3 vs 44.1%).
Afatinib and erlotinib had "comparable" adverse event profiles with grade 3 or more severe side effects reported for 57.1% and 57.5% of patients, respectively. Afatinib-treated patients were more likely to experience grade 3 or 4 diarrhoea and stomatitis than the erlotinib group, while rash or acne was more common with erlotinib.
"With a manageable [adverse event] profile, added QoL benefit, and symptom control seen in [LUX-Lung 8], [afatinib] should be preferred over [erlotinib] for these [patients]", the researchers conclude.
However, discussing the study results, Gregory Riely, from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, USA, questioned whether an EGFR TKI is the "drug of choice" for patients with squamous NSCLC.
Between enrollment for the LUX-Lung 8 trial in 2012 and the primary OS analysis in 2015, the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 inhibitor ramucirumab and the anti-PD-1 inhibitor nivolumab were approved in the USA for this patient population, he noted.
Nivolumab and ramucirumab plus docetaxel both have higher response rates in squamous cell lung cancer than afatinib and erlotinib, at 20% and 27% versus 6% and 3%, respectively. Nivolumab and ramucircumab plus docetaxel also have better reported median OS, at 9.2 and 9.5 months versus 7.9 and 6.8 months, respectively.
"Afatinib is the EGFR TKI of choice in squamous cell lung cancer but I wouldn't choose an EGFR TKI", Gregory Riely therefore concluded, adding: "Understanding why the rare patient responds is helpful and we look forward to the report of the [next generation sequencing] analysis."

Looking after your cold room is pretty easy; give it a good clean every now and then and run a strict sanitising regime, and you will be good to go for the duration of your hire period. To get the most from your cold room, though, a little extra effort is required.
Here are our top tips for getting the most out of your cold room:
- Do not overstock your cold room: In order for your cold room to refrigerate all produce effectively, the room needs to have good airflow inside. If you overstock your cold room, you are basically limiting the power of the refrigeration unit and you are running the risk of some foods not being cooled quickly enough. This could cause waste and unnecessary expenditure.
- Do not unplug your cold room for too long: Our cold rooms are extremely efficient so you can unplug them for an hour or so, and your produce will be fine inside. Just don't forget to plug it back in; cold rooms don't run on thin air you know!
- Do not put warm food inside the cold room: Hygiene lesson 101 tells us that storing hot or warm food inside a fridge is a big no-no. The reason you should never do this, is because it will raise the fridges internal temperature. If you must store hot food in your cold room, then we recommend you divide it into smaller portions, or store it in shallow containers so it will chill quickly.
- Keep the door closed when not in use: It sounds so obvious, yet many people forget to close their cold room's door after using it, or in-between loading. Our cold rooms do not automatically lock so the effort required to reopen your cold room if you are loading is minimal. If you must keep the door open for a little while, we recommend you leave it ajar rather than fully open, to keep the temperature low.
- Provide adequate space between the motor and wall: If your cold room is going to be stored next to a wall, ensure that the motor side has adequate ventilation. This is important because it will allow the motor to run as efficiently as possible at all times; when we install your cold room for you, we will do our best to situate it in such a way that there is adequate space to provide sufficient ventilation.
So there we have it – tips for getting the most out of your cold room. If you require a cold room for hire, call us today on 01635 250 950 or fill in our contact form.

'For the first time in the course of history modern man on this earth now confronts himself alone… We live in a world which man has changed so completely that in every sphere – whether we deal with the tools of daily life. Whether we eat food which has been prepared by machines, or whether we travel in a countryside radically changed by man – we are always meeting man-made creations, so that in a sense we meet only ourselves' (Heisenberg W. The Physicist's Conception of Nature).
Natalia Baluta has given me her new book Sea I Become By Degrees (Postepennoye More in Russian) when we meet at the Book Market in Amsterdam. When I hold the book in my hands it feels light and flexible, almost weightless despite its rather large size (a little smaller than the familiar A4 format). The book is terra-cotta orange and transparent blue – the colours of the desert and water. Continue reading

Dad (Elwood or "Gump") and Mom (Darlene) met and got married in 1958. I came along in 1960. In those early days, we lived in a small town in North Dakota but Mom and Dad and I moved to Seattle (Burien) when I was 2.
Dad took a job with the local school district in maintenance, while mom took her RN degree to Riverton Hospital. In 1964,Mom and Dad bought their first house northwest of SeaTac airport on 13th Avenue. That house was the epitome of the the early '60's- we had danish modern furniture, covered the wooden floors in the Living Room with Tourqouise wall to wall carpeting and the drapes in the dining room looked some wild modern art project sitting in front of the formica table. It was heaven!
But unfortunately, ten years later the airport would expand and buy out the whole neighbor hood. I have grown a big distaste for SeaTac Airport eversince, but more about that later!
The Airport bought Mom & Dad's house so they bought a brand new house in 1973 in what is now considered the City of Burien, near Seahurst Park. The new house had a basement that dad turned into a Rec Room and dad liked the smaller yard- for about a month then had me mowing the backyard neighbor's double lot yard- Dad didn't mind not having a yard to mow, he just minded me NOT having a yard to mow!
Dad retired from the schools in 1982, but saddly and unexpectedly died 2 months later. The one good thing is Dad got to go back to North Dakota and go Duck Hunting one last time.
Mom continued to work at Riverton and retired in 1992 but it was very short lived! She was planning to take a year off before working again but a few weeks after retiring, Dr. Bunch called and said he needed an office nurse. Mom told him she had no experience at that type of nursing so he said lets just try it out. She continued to work there for 5 years! Mom never re-married and sold the house in 2006, moved to an apartment so she can be free to go to the casinoes anytime she wants!

All through our lives we have to face rejection in some form or another, it could be not getting the job we went for or not getting into our football team, and to be rejected hurts, it is a real physical feeling.
For those separated from a family member, there is an immense feeling of rejection.
Our hearts are broken.
The usual defence happens within us.
We blame ourselves, we have no self-esteem, we can't forgive, it is the other side who have wronged us and it continues to eat away at us, making us bitter.
Of course not getting the job we wanted is miles away from being rejected from a family member, but actually our reactions are similar.
Perhaps we need to look at what we did to rise above the rejection of the new job.
I suspect we didn't fall into dark depression and hopelessness.
We learnt from it.
We learnt how to protect ourselves, in case it happens again, we accepted it, we healed the hurt and disappointment and we carried on. We learnt from our own mistakes.
Being rejected is so painful, all of us want is to feel loved, to love and to be valued.
Of course we have differences in families, we don't all think the same, as part of the older generation, we can easily think we know it all, that we have all the answers, but we need to be able to accept that we learnt what we know by getting it wrong first, and learning by it.
Every generation has to learn that way.
How we deal with rejection is vital if we are facing estrangement because if we don't deal with it, what is the alternative?

President's Pages in Princeton Alumni Weekly
Evolving Libraries
December 5, 2001
Libraries have traditionally been at the heart of a great university. They are both repositories of knowledge collected over many centuries and the incubators for new ideas. They are quiet and solitary places where students and faculty go to seek information, to read and write, and to think. In the last twenty years, however, libraries have been changing rapidly in response to the information revolution. Computers have profoundly affected the ways in which students seek information worldwide, the format in which they receive information and the ways in which they store information. These changes guarantee that the library of the 21st century will look very different from that of the last century. Two new campus facilities illustrate the ways in which Princeton is responding to these changes.
Thanks to a generous gift from Dennis Keller '63, chair and chief executive officer of DeVry Inc., and a University Trustee, we recently opened the Friend Center for Engineering Education which includes a new library for the School of Engineering and Applied Science. Designed by the distinguished architect Henry Cobb of the architectural firm Pei Cobb Freed & Partners of New York, the Friend Center is a beautiful structure attached to the Computer Science Building on William Street. The multi-tiered library features access to electronic journals and more than 2,000 electronic books. Every seat is wired for power and a special room has been set aside with a scanner, CD burner, and Zip drive to allow students to incorporate digital content in their classroom assignments and special projects.
The Friend Center is much more than a library. The classrooms it contains promote the kinds of collaborative work that are essential in the science and engineering disciplines. At night it becomes the gathering place for budding engineers, as well as students in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities who are drawn to a study space that is both comfortable and wired for easy access to the Web. This is exactly what Dennis Keller and University Librarian Karin Trainer and her staff envisioned: the Friend Center as a magnet that would promote understanding of how technology can enhance our daily lives, and how it can work in the future. Moreover, the benefits from Friend extend beyond the library and teaching spaces in the new facility. Because the engineering library collection has been moved out of the engineering quadrangle, and because the center includes extensive new classroom space, we have been able to convert significant space in the E-Quad to meet laboratory needs.
At the November Board of Trustees meeting I had the great pleasure of announcing a second gift from a University Trustee in support of our libraries. Peter Lewis '55, chair of The Progressive Corporation, has given the University $60 million that will allow us to construct a new library for the sciences. The University has engaged the renowned architect Frank Gehry to design the new facility on the corner of Washington Road and Ivy Lane in the heart of what has become the science quadrant of campus. The new library will connect underground to the existing mathematics and physics libraries and will consolidate the collections of the Departments of Chemistry, Molecular Biology, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and Geosciences. This will reverse a long-standing practice of distributing the science libraries within individual departments, a practice that has become increasingly illogical as science has become more inter-disciplinary. For example the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics, which is under construction near the new library, will house faculty from chemistry, physics, computer science, chemical engineering and molecular biology, reflecting the ways in which a new field can overrun traditional disciplinary boundaries. You have only to consider a recent course approved by the faculty called "Microbial Biogeochemistry and Microbial Ecology" to gain a sense of the growing significance of cross-discipline research to teaching and scholarship.
The new library will bring together a revolutionary architect and an exciting challenge to design a 21st century library capable of adapting to the rapidly changing landscape in science publishing and information retrieval. As at the Friend Center, the new science library will contain modern and flexible classrooms and study spaces for students, with easy access to the University network. We will move our increasingly popular Digital Map and Geospatial Information Center from its current location in Guyot Hall to the new building. It will also be the home for our Education Technology Center, a unit within the Office of Information Technology that works with faculty to develop computer tools for integrating information technology into our curriculum. This group also is developing distance learning courses to serve better the educational interests of our alumni. The new library will have the added advantage of freeing up space in the departments that is now used for books and journals for conversion into new offices and research laboratories.
The Friend Center and the new science library will enhance measurably the experience of undergraduates in science and engineering courses. They will provide students with easily accessible education about the latest technological tools—tools that facilitate the collaborative approach to problem solving, which is part of the culture of these disciplines. Both the Friend Center and the new library made possible by the gift from Peter Lewis will assure that information flows beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries to nourish our teaching and research endeavors.

2012: The Year of the JCU/
Since I have always been more than happy to buck tradition, it is of little wonder that, unlike so many who chronicle things in America, I refused to review the year that was until that year was actually OVER! So now that 2012 has shuffled off to the Archipelago of Last Years and a giant-eared Baby New Year named 2013 has arrived in spite of Mayan threats to the contrary, The JediCole Universe is proud to present not only our first Year in Review, but also a kind of Years in Review if you will. After all, as this is the first time we've bothered, there are a lot of years to make up for, really.
Before I delve into 2012, by far the biggest year for the JCU, a brief overview of the past is in order. This website was launched, believe it or not, in 2008. It took over a year to finally get around to posting content, however, since the focus of the site was a work in progress. While I was already actively podcasting and writing over at The United States of Geekdom, there were podcasts (one shot and recurring) I had in mind that would eat up space on the USG feed as well some writings that I really wanted to have their own venue due to their more personal nature. Thus was the new website born, at least after I finally hit upon the name, The JediCole Universe. It seemed fitting given the scope of what I had in mind. Though it took quite a while to realize that ambition at full.
I actually got my start in podcasting back in 2006 with VaderCast, a Star Wars-themed podcast that evolved over time to take on a great number of topics before it was no more. For more on my early podcasting history click here. During my tenure on VaderCast (which saw me and the show's founder Tim Kennedy the only charter cast members to remain on the show from start to finish), I met Rick Gutierrez and introduced him to the world of podcasting as a new member of the show. He would go on to found and produce his own podcast, Amazing Comicast, which lasted 60 episodes. I joined that show early on as the new co-host and remained through its eventual change in name and format. As we began covering non-comic book topics at least as much as comic book topics the show was discontinued and replaced with The United States of Geekdom, a podcast that I still co-host to this day.
With the USG a new element was added to my podcasting experience, a content-driven web page. So it was that I went from simply talking up topics on podcast shows to publishing written articles that provided more in-depth insights or just showcased my abilities as a creative writer. In that sense The JediCole Universe was something of an inevitability. The more I wrote and produced the more I found I not only wanted, but needed to write and produce. While that drive did not serve to get this site off the ground very quickly, it did help bring most of the features you can find here today to the forefront. And once I had enough material and potential material I began to concentrate on the site in earnest.
|The first edition JCU trading card.
During the course of last year I have successfully published 3 new editions of my recurring feature What Would Comic Book Villains Do?, brought back Jedi Justifications, and created It Came From the Dollar Store! and The Rantcor Pit. 2012 also saw the beginning of the longest running continuous feature of The JediCole Universe, Hey Kids, Comics! The JCU's weekly comic book podcast has been an amazing experience that compliments well my podcasting over at the USG. With nearly 25 episodes behind us and no shortage of new shows ahead, this has been quite the year.
Looking over the statistics for the year something rather surprising was revealed. An article I composed in 2011, Marvelution: The Shot Heard 'Round the Comic Industry has risen to become the number one most viewed feature on the JCU site, followed by the third issue of Hey Kids, Comics! which slowly made its way up the top five until it arrived firmly in the number two slot. What Would Comic Book Villains Do? was read live at All-Con 2012 during my talk show, JediCole's Morning After (which can be heard here) and a different edition was to be read at another convention but sadly that show did not prove viable and the reading was cancelled. None the less, the series has become the most popular recurring feature on this site after the weekly podcast I produce with Andy.
|The official JCU bumper sticker.
|The second JCU trading card, currently in circulation.
In the new year you can expect more from JCU favorites like Jedi Justifications, It Came From the Dollar Store, Points of Interest, The Rantcor Pit, What Would Comic Book Villains Do?, Odd eBay, and Collection Corner. Who Do You Love, Half-Ass Roundtable, The Collector's Piece, Super Geek-Out, and JediCole's Open Mic Night will all see new life in the new year, many after a long absence. And you can expect several new features including Site Seeing, Join the Club, and the long-awaited Japanese ball-jointed doll podcast, Doll Shelves, to join the JCU in the new year.

Even though I had my choice of different energy companies, I knew that I wanted to have TXU Energy from the start. That is the company that my parents have had for a while, and they are nothing but pleased with them. That was all the endorsement I needed to know that I was going to choose them as my energy provider as well. The one choice I did have to make was in determining which of the TXU plans I wanted to sign up under. There is a really wide range of options in this, and I wanted to make sure that I looked at each one carefully. Continue reading We Chose the Right Electricity Plan

Fixing Our Air Conditioner the Same Day
It's been really warm in the city all week, and we've been running our air conditioning unit all the time. When I came into the office this morning, I tried to switch it on, but it wouldn't work. I told our building manager, and he took a look. The unit was broken, so he told me he would find someone who specialized in AC installation in New York City to come in and fix it. He called them early in the morning, and they were there within the hour, which was amazing.
When you run a business, you have to keep your employees and your clients happy. If they come into a hot, stuffy office without any air conditioning, they're not going to be very pleased with you. It could even lead to them taking their business elsewhere. Continue reading Fixing Our Air Conditioner the Same Day
I Needed a Reminder to Get My Strength Back
I found out as a senior that I was not as strong as I looked to people. I had always had a reputation for being tough, but when you are living on your own and your body is not as strong as it used to be, you seem to lose some of the strength that you have felt all your life. Not having a husband was tough, too. I needed help with roof repair in Queens and I would help my hubby with things like that before he passed away. I would be the one who would lug the tools around and give him things he needed. Now I knew that I couldn't even get up on the roof anymore by himself just to do a simple repair. The truth was that I needed some help.
I decided to call someone out to do the work that I needed that next week. Continue reading I Needed a Reminder to Get My Strength Back
I Thought a Little Too Highly of My Own Abilities
I've always found a bit of pride in the fact that I can do a lot of things around our house that my other male friends cannot. They often need to call someone for help to come do all the work for them, but I am pretty good on figuring things out by just taking a look at them. I am the one who taught myself how to rewrite lamps, put in new outlets and things like that. I had to call an electrician in New Jersey for help because I got myself in over my head one day due to not having the experience that I assumed that I had.
My wife was in the kitchen one night, and I told her that I was going out back to work on the fuse box. I needed to try to fix some old wiring in it that seemed to look a little old and dangerous to me. I assumed it would be pretty easy to fix. I made sure to look at some diagrams online before I got really into it. Continue reading I Thought a Little Too Highly of My Own Abilities
Getting Info out to More People Was My Main Goal
As a teacher for 25 years, it was repeatedly noticeable that it was incredibly hard to get parents of the students to stay engaged with the teachers and administrators. It never changed for the better. The principal of the school that I worked at expected each teacher to help keep the school's website up to date with information that could help parents. Visits to the site were often low. When I was elected to the county school board, I wanted to change that. That's how we partnered with Massive Infinity mobile app development to get an app created for both parents and teachers to use.
Times have changed, and many young people are more apt to use their phones to get information. In the case of adults, they often don't have a lot of time to sit at home and check websites, so they often use their cell phones to stay up to date about things in this fast paced world as well. Continue reading Getting Info out to More People Was My Main Goal
Getting the Dead Tree out of Our Yard
When one of our trees got hit by lightning, my husband and our neighbor said they would take care of it. We are insured, but I still told them no! It is not that I don't trust them, but they don't have the best track record for major projects like this. I knew that it was best to leave this kind of work to a company that does professional Queens tree services. I looked online because I knew there were a few in our area, and I wanted to look over each website before I made the decision on which one to use.
I really liked the website that Miguel's Tree Care had for a number of reasons. Continue reading Getting the Dead Tree out of Our Yard
Getting Books a Better Way
Each year when it's time to get my textbooks for school, I head on down to the bookstore and hunt them down, and then I stand in the long line for half an hour and wait to pay high prices for the books. Sometimes I can find the books I need from an online store for a cheaper price, but I'm not really saving that much money, and instead of waiting in line, I'm waiting for the book to come in the mail. The easiest way to get my books without spending time or money is through Piratebay.
Using the bay, I can just download the books, and print out the sections I need at my leisure. I can get free printing done from the computer lab in the Computer Science building, so there is no cost to me. Even if I had to pay for printing, the cost per page is only 1 cent, so it's still very inexpensive. Continue reading Getting Books a Better Way
Started Work on an Old House
Paul found this house for me about five months ago. I could have bought it any time since then, but I was not all that enthused by the amount of work that needs to be done. Of course I was willing to take it if the price was really in my favor when the deal was signed. Eventually the guy decided that he wanted to be rid of the place. Right now I am working through a long list. The first thing was I needed to hire a guy who does sewer cleaning in Bronx NY. There was a pretty strong odor down in the basement and it was from where something was blocking the sewer line out of the house. Continue reading Started Work on an Old House
A Flock of Pigeons Was Pooping All over Our Stonework!
We had a bird feeder that was for the small birds. However, the small birds knock out a lot of seed. It falls on the ground, and ground-feeding birds then eat it up. That was not a problem until a flock of pigeons took notice of the feeder. Then I was filling it with seed every day. I was going through many pounds of it, and the pigeon flock kept getting bigger. They would take off in a cloud of activity when I opened the door. I had to call bird control in NJ when I discovered how much of a mess they were making out of the stonework of our house.
There were white streaks coming down from every windowsill, and there were sections of the tile roof that had a lot of droppings on it. They would land and go constantly. You could see it coming out when you looked up at them. It was like a constant flow of chalky white waste. Continue reading A Flock of Pigeons Was Pooping All over Our Stonework!
She Wanted a Clothes Line at Our New House
My wife has always preferred hanging clothes out to dry rather than putting them in the electric dryer in the basement. When we moved, we had a much smaller yard, and she thought her days of drying clothes outside was done. I knew she was disappointed over this, so I went online to see if I could find something that would make it still possible to dry clothes outdoors. What I found was a drying rack designed by Breezecatcher, and I ordered it on the spot because I knew it was exactly what we needed for our yard.
I did not tell her about it at first. I knew that it would not take long to be delivered, and I wanted to put it together and install it as a surprise for her. I could have went with a few different kinds of clothes lines and racks, but I really liked the drying rack the best. It is compact enough to fit in the yard without taking up a lot of space. Continue reading She Wanted a Clothes Line at Our New House
I Want a New TV
I have been wanting a new TV for several months now. I could have bought one when I first decided that I wanted one, but I knew that I would be able to save money on the purchase of one if I waited until Black Friday. There was nothing wrong with my old set, other than it being small, so I decided to wait to see how much I could save on the day after Thanksgiving. I did a search for online Black Friday deals for 2015 to see if I could get any tips on which retailers to look at for big screen TVs.
What I found was even better. Continue reading I Want a New TV
I Had a Big Problem in My Bed
I am a pretty squeamish person when it comes to cleanliness. I spend time every single night after work making sure that my place is nice and clean. What surprised me was dealing with bed bug removal in Manhattan NY recently. Just a couple of months before I had spent a lot of time vacuuming my mattress, so it came out of left field to me. Every Saturday morning, I deep clean my apartment.
I think most of us have heard of what bed bugs are, but I personally had never seen them in person before. I was not even sure what they looked like. I thought they might look like fleas, but I was not sure. In reality, they are even smaller than a flea and incredibly hard to see. There is a common myth that only dirty and sloppy people have a problem with them. Continue reading I Had a Big Problem in My Bed
Making It to Navy Standard Fitness
I always thought of myself as a pretty fit guy. I did light exercise every day and ate a pretty healthy diet. I wasn't muscular like some kind of body builder, but I did have a little muscle definition. When I was introduced to the Navy SEAL fitness experience by one of my friends who was in the Navy, I thought I was going to die. The exercises that I did in the program were some of the hardest I had ever done, and my body was aching after only the first day. Even while resting, my muscles were so sore.
Eventually my body got used to the exercises and the soreness went away. I noticed a drastic improvement in the kinds of exercises I could do. When I first started, I could only do 3 pull ups before my body got tired and I couldn't lift myself up anymore. After a month of exercising, I was able to do 20 pull ups, and after a little bit of rest, I was ready to do 20 more after that. The muscle definition that I gained from the exercises made the definition I had before look like a complete joke.
When I look in the mirror, I don't see the same athletic guy that I saw before I did the fitness program. I'm a lot more muscular. I'm still not at the same level as a body builder, but I have gotten noticeably bigger. It's like I've been using muscles that I didn't know I had, and even gained some new ones. I have a feeling that I could do something like run a marathon or a triathlon. I've always wanted to do one of those, but could never find the time to train for one. I'll make that my next goal.
Concerning Alternative Fuels and Energy
Alternative fuels or non-conventional fuels have been among the major breakthroughs in science, bringing minimal use of conventional fuels like fossil fuels coal, propane, and natural gas and nuclear materials. Some of the alternative fuels today are the bioalcohol (ethanol, butanol), biodiesel, chemically stored electricity (batteries and fuel cells), non-fossil natural gas, hydrogen, vegetable oil, non-fossil methane, and other biomass sources. Most of these do not anymore come from complicated processes since several experts today are already knowledgeable about how to make alternative fuels cheaply. Energyproviderstexas.com is one of the leading alternative energy providers available to Texans. Continue reading Concerning Alternative Fuels and Energy
Customer Service Without the Bundle Plan
With all the hub bub about a potential raise on interstate business tax in Kentucky (rumors, really!), our company has decided to pack bags and hit the road with their thumb stretched out in hopes that some friendly state will take pity on their ways. Of course, this means that I am finding myself in the process of moving along with them all the way to Texas! At least it's somewhere warm, I suppose, and I was able to find texas electricity companies in copperas cove with ease thanks to this website: energyproviderstexas.com. After some idle research through Google I found this site topping the search results and, truthfully, I tend to actively avoid using the first page results even if they might be the best, I rather find something that might be more unique or clever. Sometimes it's the esoteric that can offer the better information that you're looking for, even if they're not the prettiest of websites.
Still. I found myself coming back to the website admiring it's modern design with a touch of minimal sleekness that just screams 'Web 2.0′. Continue reading Customer Service Without the Bundle Plan
