Our tour has officially started! A wild rumpus kicked off the tour Saturday night at the Black Coffee Co-op in Seattle, WA, with readings, music, and ice-cream; and we read, danced, and partied. The six cop cars that showed up on a noise complaint just made us happy, it was a good sign that we where doing it right.
To kick off the party, Osa introduced us all and read from Shotgun Seamstress, Neelybat read from Mend My Dress, and Nyky Gomez joined us and read from her amazing zine, Skinned Heart. Unfortunately, Maranda Elizabeth, who was slated to read from their book, Telegram, missed the reading because their plane was landing, and I was picking them up from the airport, but we made it back in time just to see Little Debbie play some tunes.
Ire Adrift kept the party goin' with their set (which resulted in the aforementioned cop attendance), and our awesome intern Helen and I worked the merch table through the next few sets by some great local bands (Fucking Magnets, RiverMark Harper and OH-DADANGDADEVIL!). There were make-out sessions, dancey-dancing, and a smudge stick that blessed/ narrowly avoided burning up all our books. At 2 am, we all sang "You are my sunshine," called it a night, Packed up our stuff, and crawled into bed, dreaming of our adventures to come.
After a chill morning, we headed down to Olympia for the reading at the Northern. The evening was an intimate event, Osa introduced Mend My Dress Project (for the second night in the row!) and talked about her involvement with the POC Zine Project, their upcoming fall 2013 Race Riot Tour, and their legacy series. She then read from Shotgun Seamstress, and was followed by readings from Neelybat, Nyky and this time even Maranda got a chance to read!
Check out some pics from the Olympia event above, while we gear up for the Portland reading tonight at Portland Button Works!

This is the shocking moment a matador was gored in the buttocks by a bull, but incredibly walked away with just minor injuries.
Andres Roca Rey, 19, was lucky to survive after the 1,176lb bull he was taking on appeared to impale him through the bottom.
There was panic inside the La Maestranza bullring in Seville, Spain, as the animal lifted Roca Rey up with its left horn, shaking him like a rag doll as the fighter screamed in agony.
Graphic footage shows blood pouring down the Peruvian bullfighter's left thigh as he is tossed around, while fellow matadors stream into the ring to try to help.
Roca Rey wrestles himself free of the horn and falls to the ground, with the bleeding bull backing away as the fighter covers his head with his hands.
While these horrific pictures appear to show the bull's horn goring Roca Rey through the buttocks, he was able to walk away with minor injuries.
It is believed that the bull's horn grazed the matador's thigh, but miraculously avoided more delicate areas as he rode on top of the animal's head.
The blood seen on Roca Rey is thought to be that of the bull's, rather than his own. Bulls are routinely stabbed in the back and shoulders before entering the ring to make them more angry but also to ensure they are weaker by the time they face a matador.
The shaken fighter took a victory lap after the mauling and was applauded by the thousands in the crowd, including the former king of Spain, Juan Carlos.
Roca Rey is due back in the ring on Tuesday and a statement put out on his official website following the scare made light of the brush with death.
It was not the first time Roca Rey has cheated death in the bullring.
In November last year, he lost two teeth after a bull thrust its horn through his mouth.
Footage of the incident after the strike showed Roca Rey with blood on his face as he was treated by an organizer.
The bullfighter was taken to a local hospital for treatment and medics said he had been lucky not to have suffered a more serious injury.
He had false teeth fitted weeks later and returned to the ring shortly afterwards.

The "Lady Helen" Back from major Overhaul
The process was now reversed. First the fuel tank had to be redesigned and built with a notch cut out of the bottom in order to fit over the engine stringers. Then the tank was slid aft under the cockpit where it is bolted to the main stringers. I had to cut a piece out of the old tank out in order to remove it from the engine compartment. Next a new bulkhead was installed between the tank and the engine room. The engine blocks and marine gears were reinstalled on the stringers. Then the remaining engine sub- assemblies were installed along with numerous wiring and plumbing upgrades. Finally as shown in the following photo the project is finished.

Do you have a mouth? Sure, we all do! Do you want to know what happens after digestion when you put things in your mouth? I bet you do.
For simplicity we will pretend food is made up of four things: fat, protein, carbs, and vitamins/minerals. Each of these things are digested and absorbed differently in different places in your Gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
As food enters your mouth carbs are the first to get digested. Human saliva contains amylase, and enzyme which digests carbs. If you put bread in your mouth it will quickly tun sweet as the amylase breaks it down and it turns into simple sugars and binds to the sweet receptors on your tongue. This causes hormones to get your pancreas ready for carbs. Insulin is released in preparation to transport the carbs to the organs of your body. The sugars can be absorbed through the lining of your mouth (mucus membrane) and all throughout your GI system. When the carbs hit your bloodstream the insulin opens up the organs through GLUT receptors. Adipose tissue (body fat) and muscle use the same receptor: GLUT4.
The Esophagus
Not much happens here except some passive diffusion across the mucus membrane. There is a false sphincter where the stomach meets the esophagus. If this is loose or if intra abdominal pressure is high then stomach contents can squirt up from the stomach to the esophagus while the stomach churns food. This is one way heartburn occurs.
The Stomach
This is where the magic happens. The stomach is super complex and majestic in its ability to reduce almost any organic material to nutrient rich mush. I cant get into all the autocrine, intracrine, and paracrine functions of the hormones and neurotransmitters of the stomach here. To give you a hint of its complexity, the stomach and the intestines have their own nervous system: the enteric system. Ever wonder why nerves gives you butterflies in your stomach? Thats why. Many of the neurotransmitters In the brain have specific functions in the GI system and thats why anxiety may manifest as stomach pain or Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
The super duper simple version is this: food enters the stomach and based on its contents several things may happen. If it is 92% liquid, then it begins to be absorbed through the mucus membrane and it passes through the pylorus into the duodenum. If it is over 8% solute and it has a significant amount of fat then the pyloric sphincter is closed and the contents can't leave the stomach. This is through a very complicated paracrine process. If protein is present then HCl is produced by the stomach, again a very complicated process. The stomach churns the food + acid mixture for as much as 6 hours before the pylorus opens to let the mush bolus through to the duodenum. This is why your post workout meal 1 should be a shake thats 92% water, then it is absorbed through the mucus membrane throughout the whole GI track and can deliver the pre digested nutrients like amino acids and simple carbs to your blood so insulin can carry it to your muscles within the first hour. And the next meal should not contain any fat so the pylorus does not remain closed, this will allow your food to be digested and transported to the blood fast. Often man made foods like chocolate, alcohol, fried foods, and things that are spicy can cause an overproduction of stomach acid. this results in heartburn. The common approaches are chewing tums or rolaids, which buffer the acid, or taking a Proton Pump Inhibitor. This causes the proton pump which dumps HCl into the stomach to break down and the pancreas just produces more gastrin over stimulating the stomach. The decreased acid results in the protein in food not being fully denatured. this means it may not be broken down and absorbed right once it passes to…

I had a little incident with my camera recently. I accidentally turned on the bracketing setting. (I'm under a year with my new camera and still hit the wrong buttons all the time. Hopefully I am not the only one that does this!) That wouldn't have been so terrible all by itself, but it happened right before a session and I didn't know I had done it until I was in the middle of photographing. During the session, I knew something was wrong but we were pressed for time/light and I didn't have time to figure out the problem.
So I did what I thought best—I just kept shooting and made sure to take some extra. I would figure it out later.
When I got home I had a Lightroom Library filled with 50% good exposure photos and 50% unusable photos. Definitely not optimal. I edited the best ones and tried to salvage the ones that I could. The session turned out fine despite lots of extra editing time and worry.
However, a few days later, I learned about a trick that could have saved me TONS of time editing and probably saved several of the photos that I thought were unusable. So I am going to pass this important info on to you in hopes that it will save you time and possibly a session someday!
My Lightroom Filmstrip began by being filled with exposures that looked like this! Yikes!
To use this trick, you need to be in the Develop Module and have two photos selected that have very different exposures. You'll want to make sure the one you want both photos to look like is the one that is "most" selected.
Then go up to the "Settings" pull-down menu and choose "Match Total Exposures."
When I did this with the photos that I took that day, it ended up rescuing every photo I took even though many of them looked so overexposed!! Check out how nicely Lightroom matched the exposure of the two photos!
I think there are still a few "hot" spots on faces, but I spent 2 seconds bringing down the highlights and it looked much better!
Magic? I say YES!
A few additional thoughts:
- I was shooting in RAW. I am not sure if all the photos would have been as easily salvaged if they had been shot in JPEG. Great recovery options are one of the biggest reasons I choose to shoot RAW over JPEG.
- I think this could also work on photos that you were taking while shooting in one of the priority modes. Sometimes those photos tend to vary a bit in exposure. I am totally trying it next time that happens to me!
- This feature has been in Lightroom since at least Lightroom 3 (how did I miss this!) so I think it should work for most all Lightroom users since I am guessing most us aren't still using Lightroom 2 or the "original" Lightroom!

Pepper's Ghost on the Catwalk
Recently, I stumpled upon an interesting video of a fashion show. Usually, fashions shows are about as attractive to me as a stamp collections, but this one had a special feature: The models were surrounded by projections.
From a technical point of view, this is very fascinating. Usually, images are projected on screens and not onto thin air like it appears to be in this show.
Topics: light • presentation • projection

During your stay in New York City, the last thing you probably want to do is to drag your luggage through the busy city streets. But what are you supposed to do when you've had to check out of your hotel or apartment rental and you still have hours before it's time to catch that plane out of town?
Are you just supposed to walk from store to store with your huge suitcase trailing behind you? Or are you supposed to sacrifice precious time in the city by heading to the airport even earlier than you were supposed to, only to sit and wait with your luggage? We have some good news for you… You don't have to do either!
You can choose to leave your luggage at a luggage storage facility in NYC. Think of it like a storage locker, but a nicer location and the security of knowing your bags are safe and sound with friendly staff.

We're the best NYC portal that's dedicated to taking care of all of your concierge needs from luggage storage, key exchanges, and more. Here's why you should leave your belongings with us while you take in the New York City sights...
We Provide a Safe Space for Your Luggage
Unlike storage lockers, which aren't usually under the supervision of an employee, we have staff working at each of our locations. During our daily operating hours, you can be assured there will be someone on staff not just to help you store your luggage, but to make sure it stays safe while you're out enjoying the city.

Our Luggage Storage is Affordable
After you've traveled to the city and spent money dining at some of the best restaurants, taking in the most popular destinations, and doing a little shopping, the last thing you want to think about is spending even more money. And you're probably wondering just how much this luggage storage is going to cost you!
Here's the good news: it definitely won't break the bank. We know how much of a hassle it is to tote your luggage around all day long, so we offer our luggage storage at an affordable price. Our day rate for storing your luggage is just $5.90 per bag. There's no way you could pass on that deal! While other companies may provide the same kind of service, they can't guarantee you such an affordable rate.
We Have Multiple Locations for Your Convenience
What could be better than a luggage storage that has multiple locations? Because we have three locations throughout the city, you're sure to find one that's close to where you're staying. There's no need to travel a far distance just to store your luggage! Here at Bounce, we are conveniently located in the Lower East Side, Times Square, and Brooklyn. All you have to do is find the location that's closest to you and pop in to drop off your luggage. No reservation required! You can come back to collect your things at the end of the day or have them delivered to you for a small fee. After all, we're all about convenience here!
We Have a Top-Notch Reputation
The reviews don't lie! We consistently provide great service to every single one of our customers, which has earned us a top-notch reputation throughout New York City.

We women are all on the same side, Marie... whether we're mothers or not
Imagine two guys who worked together more than 30 years ago, hanging out and having fun, who now meet at a dinner. They no longer have much to say to each other.
Things are different. Is that so odd?
Apparently yes, when it's women. Specifically Jerry Hall and Marie Helvin, supermodels who were mates in the Eighties. Hall went on to have four children with Mick Jagger.
Marie Helvin and Jerry Hall pictured before children came along and drove them apart (left) and more recently (right).
Helvin was with his friend David Bailey. She saw no reason to start a family and never did. Helvin's childlessness is the reason given for them now having nothing in common, because obviously children are all that women talk about. Children are still a female subject.

The prism through which we view women who have reproduced having some sort of battle with women who have not is a paranoid invention. This 'war' has passed me by, for in real life I don't encounter it at all. Sure, I have friends I have grown apart from, but I was never any good at being friends with anyone simply because we both had kids.
For how long can you discuss baby grows and cracked nipples? Five minutes is already enough.
So I wonder at the supposed resentment by the child-free of us breeders – and who this notion benefits. Women I know who have not had children have often been kind, generous and loving towards my family. The child-snatching crones of the fairy tale are just that, fairy tales.
What I do resent are these simplistic judgments, the divide-and-rule policing of reproduction. Does having children make you less selfish? Hardly, when helicopter parenting could be an Olympic event.
The complexities of women's lives cannot be reduced to 'motherhood or not'. We know that in poor countries, when women start to get educated they choose to have smaller families. We know, too, that where there is little support, the birth rate drops: look at Italy.
Here, we pump out mixed messages. Teen pregnancy is terrible, fertility declines soon after 30, IVF is a lottery, older mothers are unnatural, leaving it too late makes you bitter.
Artist Tracy Emin has spoken about her choice not to have children
We are horrified, supposedly, at the number of children in care, but are bombarded with stories about maternity leave as the root of business failure.
The two sides here are not women with children against women without them, for austerity is actually pushing all kinds of women back into the home, impoverishing single pensioners as well as mothers and children.
The side I am on is that of women, and therefore I want all our reproductive choices respected.
Indeed, it is telling that many successful women don't have children. That says much about a culture of work that employs men at the top, never asking whether they are fathers or not.
It was quite something recently to hear Tracey Emin talk about her childlessness, because women rarely do. 'You're treated like a witch,' she said. 'And I'm not a witch, it is just that I have chosen to do things in another way.'
At one point she thought of adopting, but now talks of the menopause – more taboo- busting – and coming to terms with her choices.
It's not as if we hear Madonna ever banging on about HRT, sage and hot flushes, is it? Emin's work has always been about herself alone. But she is not alone. A fifth of women over 45 are childless.
These women are neither freaks nor enemies of those who have children. The only people who benefit from pretending this is an actual divide are those who want to keep women in roles we have long grown out of.
We are actually all in this together: the child-free and those of us who have bred can get along just fine if we choose to. And I do.
A mountain of damp flags can't bury Diana's memory
It took nearly a week after the sodden Queen-fest for the unmentionable to be broached: Diana. As I keep saying, actual monarchists don't really appear to care that much about the Queen.
Why would you make an elderly woman sit on a cold barge for yonks and then oblige her to pretend to enjoy some pop mediocrities?
The nation will not forget how Charles treated Diana during their marriage
Charles, we were told, finally 'connected with the nation' by calling his mother 'Mummy' – and I can't have been the only person reminded then of the card atop Diana's coffin that read 'Mummy'. Charles will only fully connect if we can forget that he treated Diana appallingly because he would not stand up to his parents.
No quantity of damp flags – or middlebrow entertainers crammed on stage – will erase that memory. But God knows, they are trying.
Wow! Nick Clegg just can't stop flashing his hinterland. He read some Gabriel Garcia Marquez when he was young. So did I. It made me so desperate to see Latin America I worked as a waitress, saved up and went. I wanted to see the places Marquez wrote about but it never occurred to me that I could write like him. Clegg, though, penned a novel, which he admits is bad. Therein lies a tale of entitlement. He thought he had a novel in him. I wanted to see what was in the novels.
And the novel that is in him? Surely not a sad tale of magical realism where a man rises to the top of politics only to find it was all a dream?
Ed Milliband needs Scotland's Labour votes
I have always called myself English not British and see no problem with it. Indeed, one side effect of the push for Scottish independence is the recognition that the mass of English people are happy to wave goodbye.
For what does the Union represent? For me the occupation of Ireland, second homes in Wales and bits of the BBC sent to Glasgow. Ed Miliband has been trying to push the Union as, of course, he needs the large Scottish Labour vote, but it no longer works.
When I say I am English, I think of England as diverse and multicultural. Scotland is not like that at all so I don't really need any lectures about racism.
Let Scotland be free and... er, white. Let England be whatever we make it.
I don't share Sayeeda Warsi's politics but she is impressive and charming in the flesh. The opposite of a born-to-rule Tory, she had to fight both imams and the BNP to get into politics. Her job now is fairly impossible – that there is an inquiry into her dealings but not Jeremy Hunt's is frankly baffling. The one thing we thought Cameron could do is presentation, presentation, presentation. But this does not look good at all.

I have been in a state of creative purgatory. This time last year I was at a low point. I was unsure what to do. I was at a crossroad but there were no signs or even obvious roads or paths to take. I made a few decisions, chopped through the undergrowth and headed forward.
Now I find myself in a more creative place. The view is still hazy, the roads are not clear but the muse is travelling with me. I don't worry about having imaginary friends as long as they are creative. Although depending on your spirituality you may feel that the muse is no more imaginary than truth, justice and the honesty of those who work in financial institutions. I digress.
The image above is a folder on my Mac. It contains 247 music projects in various stages of completion. As I type I realise there are another six elsewhere. Over 250 pieces of music that I will work on and begin to share. For over a year I haven't been able to make any headway on these tracks, now I can.
It is the same for other creative projects. From writing to image creation, the muse is leading me on… in a nice way. I think she (yes she, but that isn't to say that's the gender of all muses) wants a word now so I'd best pay attention. But one last thing…
… this blog post was touch typed. I am finally getting around to learning to do that as well. You never know, I might post more!

Once you've made fruit powder (get the recipe in my post on fruit powder), the next logical step is learning how to make pixy stix (a.k.a. pixie sticks). Homemade pixy stix are straws filled with fruit powder and sugar (I'll suggest a proportion, but it's ultimately your call on how much sugar you choose to add).
Making your own pixy stix gives you several clear advantages over store-bought pixy stix:
- You control the sugar amount. You could even use artificial sweeteners if you prefer.
- You control the flavor. You can make pixy stix in any fruit flavor or combination of flavors that you like. The ones shown above are strawberry rhubarb.
- By using cute paper straws, your pixy stix can match your party decor.
How to Make Pixy Stix
I'm certainly not the first to make homemade pixy stix. You can find another tutorial over on Love & Olive Oil which she adapted from a recipe on NPR. Mine have the distinction of being strawberry rhubarb flavored and, of course, they'll soon be gracing a cupcake with their presence.
How to Make Pixy Stix
- 2 teaspoons fruit powder (get the recipe in my post about fruit powder
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar

Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai
Critic reviews and ratings
...a cinematic triumph -- the film is edgy, raw, thrilling and completely entertaining.
...an extremely well-made film that lingers in your memory. The realism coupled with stellar direction, power-packed writing, exceptional performances and ear-pleasing tunes are its trump cards. An outstanding cinematic experience!
...offers you both substance and soul, even as it dabbles with a slice of reality. Don't miss it.
Buy a ticket now!
...is revival of good old Hindi cinema. As Mumbai goes rewind, you look forward to a dynamic and gripping entertainer.
...a must watch for its enthralling story, exceptional performances and superb dialogues.
The towering performances of Ajay Devgn, Emraan Hashmi and superb direction of Milan Luthria are the ingredients that will help the flick rock at the box office.
The film is overwritten, over acted, overcharged but also super fun.
...is worth the price of your ticket and more. It's a film that almost gets everything right. Highly Recommended.
...the director's command over the language of outlawry is unquestionable.
The subject is immediately exhilarating still. As is this film.
...riveting story and performances...
Once Upon… seeks to entertain – it does so resoundingly well; it seeks to establish parallels with real life characters and events as well as to create a period ambience of the 70's – this part is executed with mixed success. Though when it comes to its third ambition – that of texturing it with a moral debate – what comes across is a half-hearted attempt and failure.
...close to being an up-to-the-mark gangster flick, so it certainly commands a watch, for the setting and performances, if nothing else.
...he film is worth a watch, especially if you like flamboyant gangster films.
...has serious personality issues. It wants to please all sections of the audience and therein lies the snitch. Despite some fantastic screen moments, memorable punchlines and visuals, the film doesn't really serve its purpose.
The film is watchable and enjoyable in parts even, but it doesn't quite pull off the retro chic tone it was going for.
Watch Once Upon A Time In Mumbai for the love of Bombay, Ajay Devgan, an entertaining story and don't expect to blown away.
...has a sharp beginning, a sagging middle and an inconclusive end that promises a sequel.
Once Upon a Time Waste.. in Mumbai.
Milan Luthria...starts off well, and carries on as he means to, but then falls into the trap of the familiar.
...there is not enough dramatic tension which underlined the narratives of the '70s and '80s, no real big scenes to remember forever.

Some current areas of research and development which Charles is directly involved with include: congestion, ITS assets, safety, road user charging, compliance and enforcement, urban freight, freight data, autonomous vehicles, field testing, trials and pilots.
Charles's doctoral thesis in 2003 investigated the response of drivers to a dynamic traveller information system which he had co-developed through a business he founded earlier. In 1999, Charles co-founded Custom Traffic Pty Ltd, which developed a traveller information system based around an aggregation engine that fuses traffic data from traffic control systems such as SCATS, into speeds and travel times for each link and movement on the road network. This information is supplied to travel information service providers such as Intelematics Australia and utilised in products such as the SUNA traffic information and on Google maps.
Dr Tim Martin
Chief Scientist of Asset Management
Dr Tim Martin has graduate and post graduate qualifications in Civil Engineering and a PhD in predicting network-level pavement deterioration from Monash University. Before joining Australian Road Research Board (ARRB) in 1990, Tim spent some 17 years in the investigation, planning, design, contract management and economic evaluation of major Australian and international engineering projects that included bridges, dams, river diversions and open cut mining works.
Tim's research at ARRB has involved leading a road track cost attribution study that underpins heavy vehicle charging. Tim designed and implemented a major observational study using long-term pavement performance (LTPP) and long-term pavement maintenance (LTPPM) sites, experimental studies with accelerated load testing, resulting in the development of pavement deterioration and works effects models for arterial roads. These models are in-pavement life-cycle costing analyses and the estimation of marginal road wear costs. This research extended to the development of deterioration models for unsealed and sealed local roads as part of a national study across all Australian states and the assessment of levels of service for heavy vehicles.

Two DHI are 2009 one is 2008
The DH is 2008. I have never smelled vintage DH or DHI, tomorrow will be a fun day after my shower.
I read here that people place vintage DH higher than DHI but after first reform DHI is better than DH... is this true? If so, why is it ebay sell 1.7oz DHI for 300, but vintage DH 1.7oz only for $150?
EDIT: In the store where I found these gems, they also had Armani Attitude! Like 8 big bottles of it and some small ones... I don't know if I should buy them too because I think they go for a lot on ebay...

So I was shopping for some dress shirts going in & out of the Saks, Holt, The Bay etc & mentally was proud of myself - there were many niche counters & The Bay / Sephora on the way had all designers etc - I was proud and happy that I didn't feel the urge to buy or go smell anything.
Then my family puts me down as bag in charge (yeah - same story, different guy - we're the watchmen inside the malls) - and of all places they put me in front of a bloody perfume store... Slowly I do an Arnold Schwarzenegger & pick up all the stuff & head in there apologizing to everyone in between...
I drop them & find the manager of the store & we start looking for vintages - in 10 mins, I was out, with around 220 spent:
2 X Eau de Rochas Pour Homme 50ml spray.
1 X Jacques Bogart Witness 100ml spray
2 X Carven Homme 50ml spray
1 X Carven Vetiver Dry 100 ml spray
And I bought 1 shirt in between all this...
One year older than yesterday, but I remain a vintage addict
Yesterday - lot of 3 Xeryus Rouge vintage 4ml minis - less than $10, how could I not? I finished off my vintage last year and all I currently have is a 100ml of the modern stuff. It's okay, but I like the vintage much more. I honestly don't love either version, but it's a unique one I like to sniff from time to time.

Not all vintage I guess.
The French Line was an atomiser that sprayed all over and made a mess. I had to open the crimp to decant it out. Lost a lot of volume (the atomising gas I think). Now I have an EDP.
This is not what I bought today but rather over last 2 months.

It is similar to Aramis 900 in some ways. If you dislike 900 don't get this.
I like it better than Captain.
Please remember to get vintage version. The current one, like Captain, is suppose to be crap.
If you are in US, I can send you a sample.

Sam Carey Classic 2016 - Girls Game Recap
One team consisted entirely of local NH prospects, while their opponent was all players from out of state (mostly Massachusetts). The NH Team made an impressive 2nd half rally, but fell short in a thriller, 59-57.
The NH Team trailed by as many as 16, 55-39 with 7:20 left in the 2nd half. It looked like the game was all over at that point. Give the NH Team credit for battling back, as they went on a 14-2 run, cutting the lead to 57-55. The comeback was led by seniors Abby Streeter (Nashua, NH) of Lawrence Academy, Rebecca Ripley (Stratham, NH) from New Hampton School and junior Eva Hodgson (Rindge, NH) also from New Hampton School. Streeter is committed to Rhode Island, Ripley is committed to Miami and Hodgson holds 9 D-I scholarship offers.
It was a well balanced scoring effort for Team NH. 11 of their 12 players got in the scoring column, and the one player who didn't (Nicolette Arnold of Derry, NH) made an outstanding pass from 3/4 court right on the money to teammate Ashley Berube (Londonderry, NH) for an and-1 finish. Arnold picked up 4 scholarship offers this summer. Leading the way was Streeter and Hodgson with 9 points, while Ripley tallied 8 and Berube chipped in with 7.
Proctor Academy 5-foot-7 senior point guard Amanda Torres (Hudson, NH) knifed her way to the rim for a finish in traffic early on. Bedford High 6-foot senior forward Jenoyce Laniyan made a strong take and finish for an and-1 in transition. Tilton School 5-foot-11 senior Mayson Kimball (Penacook, NH) buried a 3-pointer off the catch, using a high release. Arnold threaded the needle to Berube, Ripley spun into the lane before hitting a leaner and Bradford Christian Academy junior Heather Durand drilled a 3 off the catch from the wing. Durand played solid and has clearly been working on her game this summer.
The non-NH Team was really good, though. It sure seemed like they were a team that had played together before. While the NH team was a little out of sync on offense and was having passes get deflected or stolen away, the non-NH Team was more sound. The NH Team also had a couple of defensive lapses which led to easy baskets for the opposition. Still, the NH Team battled hard and nearly pulled out the win against a very good team.
Torres used a quick first step to blow by her defender, got to the rim and got fouled. Bradford Christian Academy guard Sydney Richard (Hooksett, NH) hit a jumper from the outside. It was 31-24 non-NH Team at half.
In the 2nd half Hodgson drained a 3 and Berube hit a jumper from the foul line as the pace of the game picked up even more. We now had some up-tempo action with a nice flow to the game and kids hitting shots all over the place. It looked a lot more like a college game than an exhibition game in the middle of August.
Durand made a nice steal, took it to the rim, teammate Chyna Bullen (Exeter, NH) cleaned up the miss and converted the put-back. Hodgson drove it strong to the rim and made a tough finish through contact. Hodgson holds offers from Brown, Pennsylvania, William & Mary, Lafayette, New Hampshire, Fordham, Davidson and Holy Cross.
Torres blew by her defender again for 2 more. But then the non-NH Team lead grew to 55-39 with 7:20 left. Streeter contributed to the comeback, hitting a pull-up jumper from 15-feet. Durand connected on a step-back 18-footer. Laniyan converted a put-back. Proctor Academy 6-foot-1 forward Angie Ngalakulondi (Manchester, NH) made a nice block on 'D' and a put-back on offense. Ripley hit a turnaround bank shot, followed by Streeter who drove and banked in a runner. That cut the lead to 57-55. The non-NH team hung on from there for the win.
A great game. High level basketball. One of the best girls basketball games I've seen in a long time. A ton of talent on both teams.
A higher percentage of NH's top basketball prospects are in prep school than ever before.
"It's better competition - like playing AAU all year round" said Hodgson, who plays for the NE Crusaders.

What happens when a man is forced to choose between the well-being of his children and the sanctity of his good name? Should John Proctor, the main character in Robert Ward's opera The Crucible, preserve his sons' inheritance by bending to the stiff-necked morality of Salem's witch-hunters? Or should the condemned Puritan farmer defend to the death his integrity and the right to think for himself, regardless of the consequences for both family and fortune?
Such is the moral quandary that lies at the center of Ward's musical masterpiece--based upon the play by Arthur Miller--about the 1692 Salem witch trials. The opera earned Ward a Pulitzer Prize in 1962, which, in addition to supplying numerologists with a fresh harvest of doomsday grist, served as no small measure of vindication for the American artists whose personal and professional lives were destroyed by Fifties McCarthyism.
Michael Ehrman's compelling production of The Crucible is Central City Opera's third offering in its sublime American series, which began two seasons ago with Ehrman's acclaimed version of The Ballad of Baby Doe and continued last summer with his mesmerizing Susannah. Acutely aware that Ward's opera contains more elements of tragic implication and sweep than it does of tragic proportion and depth, Ehrman has chosen to emphasize the story's episodes of poignant feeling while downplaying several scenes of arch melodrama. It's a tightly focused approach that's marvelously underscored by the virtuosic conducting of artistic director John Moriarty, whose sinewy orchestra plays Ward's hymn-like choruses and folk melodies with robust precision. As a result, the two-and-three-quarter-hour evening (which is somewhat drawn out by three intermissions that accommodate several set changes) becomes a lyrical ode to emancipated belief instead of a grim sermon about mob rule.
The outstanding cadre of singers are led by three performers who do splendid justice to Ward's eclectic score. New York City Opera veteran Grant Youngblood's resonant baritone resounds with a valiant honor that's tempered with wounded pride in his portrayal of John Proctor, the free thinker who responds to his wife's cold touch by racing into the arms of a younger woman. From his first bitter remark to his mate ("You forgive nothing") to his final, gut-wrenching plea before the town magistrate ("How can I teach my sons to walk like men?"), Youngblood invests Proctor with a simple, intuitive rectitude that is his only defense against a crusading, intolerant society.
Youngblood's portrayal is perfectly matched in both emotional and vocal intensity by mezzo-soprano Kristine Jepson's spellbinding rendering of Proctor's wife. Wronged though Elizabeth is, Jepson's beautifully sung portrait nonetheless bespeaks a steadfast woman whose loyalty and love permit her to overcome the pain of her husband's betrayal. And as the misguided, teenaged Abigail, whose specious accusations result in the hanging deaths of nineteen Salem citizens (plus one unlucky fellow who draws the supernatural short straw and is sentenced to be pressed to death with huge stones), soprano Diane Alexander sings her part with crystal clarity. A born actress, Alexander also summons just the right mixture of controlled frenzy and doe-eyed passion. As she gently sways back and forth during the spurious trial of Proctor and his wife, it's hard to tell whether Abigail (much less the other adolescents who are her conspirators) is the Devil's willing agent or is herself an innocent victim of a community's warped religious beliefs.

Rounding out the stellar cast are Natalie Levin's poetic Rebecca Nurse, Christina Harrop's riveting Mary Warren, and Chad Shelton's rock-ribbed Reverend Samuel Parris. And as vigorously sung by Adam Klein and a stouthearted chorus, Judge Danforth's lyrical Act Three exhortation (which echoes Act One's ominous "Jesus My Consolation") becomes a haunting battle cry of persecution instead of a clarion call for redemption--which, ironically enough, is the same sort of twisted morality that prompted playwright Miller to craft his own form of alchemy in the first place.
As is the case with Miller's most-produced play, Ward's clear moral outcry works like a charm.
The Crucible, through August 7 at the Central City Opera House, Eureka Street, Central City, 292-6700.

Iatrogenic exposure, predisposing condition common among kids, teens with NMSC
Iatrogenic exposure or having a predisposing condition often correlates with nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) in children or young adults, reports a recent study.
The multicentre, retrospective, case-control study included 124 paediatric NMSC patients (median age, 13.2 years; 53 percent male), most of whom had basal cell carcinoma (BCC; n=95; median age, 12.2 years; 54 percent female). Those with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC; n=40) were just as likely to be female (55 percent) but were older (median age, 14.1 years).
Most of the participants (70 percent; n=87) had at least one identifiable risk factor, such as a genetic condition (44 percent), skin lesion (10 percent) and/or iatrogenic exposure (29 percent), while the remaining 30 percent did not. The most common genetic conditions in the BCC and SCC subgroups were basal cell nevus syndrome and xeroderma pigmentosum, respectively.
In terms of iatrogenic risk factors, SCC patients were significantly more likely to have undergone prolonged immunosuppression (30 percent vs 0 percent; p=0.0002) or received voriconazole (15 percent vs 0 percent; p=0.026) than age- and sex-matched controls. In the BCC subgroup, radiation therapy (20 percent vs 1 percent; p≤0.0001) or chemotherapy (20 percent vs 1 percent; p<0.0001) were significantly more common than in matched controls.
There were six deaths overall: three in the SCC group and two in the BCC group. One patient with both SCC and BCC died. Skin cancer-related or associated therapies were responsible for one death. Survival rate was significantly lower in those who were treated with voriconazole (p=0.001).

Chinese Actress Liu Yifei To Star As Title Character in Disney's 'Mulan' Movie
Disney has found it's Mulan star!
Liu Yifei has been cast as the title character for Disney's upcoming live action remake, which is still set to debut next year.
According to THR, Liu meets all the requirements that the casting team were after: credible martial arts skills, the ability to speak English and the most ineffable requirement of all: star quality.
She's actually one of China's most popular actresses and has a ton of credits to her name like The Forbidden Kingdom, Outcast, The Chinese Widow, and the fantasy romance Once Upon a Time.

I work in the fashion industry, because I'm cool like that. I work for a company that sells clothes mostly to the skinnier, smaller demographic. Anyway, today is sample sale day, and I was all VIP and got to head to the front of the line to get all the fancy cool pretty stuff. So, while I'm walking around picking up things that I would love to fit into, I get a little bit excited, because I can actually see myself fitting into these things! I am so happy that I can buy normal(ish) sized clothing! I must admit though, the majority of the merchandise I picked up wasn't exactly the most flattering at the moment, I know that these are inspirational clothes, and I was still able to fit it over my head and do up the zipper! Overweight girls usually always do the same thing. When they find something that fits them, they will buy the exact item in all colors it comes in. Take my closet for example. I have got 3 sweater capes, all different colors. 4 pairs of jeans, all different colors. It's kind of sad when I say it out loud though. At this sample sale though, there was only one of each color, and size. So I felt super amazing about myself.
On another note, I know I'm getting
skinnier healthier, because I'm starting to get the same clothes as other people in the office, and take part in "accidental dress like twins day". Makes me feel so good about myself. Although, I'm not so sure how the skinny healthy girls feel about it.
I finally see a change and I have never been prouder in myself!

Nora Charles: "I'll be with you in two shakes of a cocktail."
Nick Charles: "Cocktail? Cocktail? Think I'll try one of those things."
—The Thin Man (1934)
So goes the playful banter between husband-and-wife duo Nick and Nora Charles. Played by William Powell and Myrna Loy, the gumshoe and his clever socialite wife shake and swill Martinis throughout a six-part film series that's as equal parts whodunnit, comedy and drama as it is gin, vermouth and bitters. Starting with The Thin Man in 1934, the pictures helped launch the era of screwball comedies and sleuthing on-screen spouses. And during the current cocktail renaissance, they've also helped make fashionable a deeper cousin of the coupe beloved by bartenders for its elegant (and spill-proof) design, the Nick & Nora glass.
Espita Mezcaleria's La Llorona cocktail and head bartender Jesse Simpson
"Before Prohibition, there were lots of different kind of glasses, including V-shaped and flat-bottomed," says David Wondrich, a Liquor.com advisory board member, the author of Imbibe! (TarcherPerigee, $27.50) and the senior drinks columnist at The Daily Beast. "The standard Martini glass may be an icon, but it's crappy to drink from; it spills and tips easily." Enter other options, like the coupe and what eventually became known as the Nick & Nora glass, which was debuted to the masses by Audrey Saunders in 2005 when she opened her pioneering New York cocktail bar Pegu Club.
Jess Lambert, the head bartender at Vol. 39 and Boleo at The Kimpton Gray Hotel in Chicago, admits she hasn't seen any of the films but believes the glass "recalls a sense of elegance with a forbidden twist." She uses them for stirred drinks served up, like the True Martini and the Financier, made with brown-butter-washed brandy, amaretto liqueur, sherry and amaro. Lambert says its simple clean lines are combined with a logistical benefit. "We can store double the amount of Nick & Nora glasses in our reach-in freezer than we could Martini glasses."

Megan Barnes, the beverage director at Espita Mezcaleria in Washington, D.C., is also a fan of the glasses' smaller footprint, as well as how they convey the restaurant's Oaxacan influence. "The beautiful lace design on the glass is reminiscent of an older Mexican woman's shawl," she says. Barnes employs delicately etched Nick & Nora glasses for the Estocada, a mezcal Negroni riff, and the Colibri, a raicilla-based take on the Hanky Panky.
"The Thin Man is still celebrated as the epitome of cocktail elegance," says Iona Muir, the food and beverage director for Metropole at the 21c Museum Hotel Cincinnati, which uses the movie's inspired glassware in drinks like the Fire-Cide Chat, a bourbon-based sip with fire cider, Cardamaro (cardamom amaro) and cabernet sauvignon. "These are movies in which the main characters start drinking when they get out of bed in the morning and don't stop till the case is solved several days later," she says. Fair enough, but to Nick and Nora's credit, Wondrich points out that glasses were a lot smaller back then (2 ounces or thereabouts).
The Dead Rabbit's Resurrection Man, left, and Rabid Jabber cocktails (image: Brent Herrig)
Even in the film's post-Prohibition era, though, the stemware's diminutive size may have given off a false sense of moderation. "Since it was a smaller-size glass, they believed having three, four, five or six drinks was better than having the same in a larger one," says Jillian Vose, the beverage director at The Dead Rabbit in New York City, who uses Nick & Nora glasses for stirred standard-size cocktails. "But in actuality, they'd just drink more of them." (In one scene, after discovering Nick is six Martinis in, Nora instructs her server to line up five additional ones to catch up.)
Its design has evolved over the past 80 years, though, and today the glass has a capacity of around five ounces. How copious you prefer your libations, of course, is up to you.
The original version of this article mistakenly credited the debut of the Nick & Nora glass to Sasha Petraske and the original location of his bar Milk & Honey.

Irregular Menstruation
Irregular Menstruation is a hormonal process, on which the physical and mental health of a woman largely depends.
As a rule, menstruation occurs every 28 days and can last from three to six days, depending on the hormonal activity in the body of a woman.
During the cycle, a series of changes occurs in the body of the woman, many do not pay attention to, but they affect the sexuality and the probability of conception.
The production of hormones in the body varies depending on the age of the woman: from adolescence and before the onset of menopause.
Any violation of the menstrual cycle indicates a health problem, or at least a hormonal failure.
An earlier or later irregularity in menstruation may indicate some abnormality in the body.
This is not necessarily a sign of a serious illness, but it is advisable to pay attention to one's health in order to make sure that no inflammatory processes take place in the body.
In this article, we will talk about the six most common causes of the disordered menstrual cycle.
1. Thyroid disorders
Thyroid dysfunction is usually the main cause of the irregular menstrual cycle.
This body is responsible for the production of important hormones, so the imbalance of the thyroid gland causes at least 15% of cases of amenorrhea or a disturbed menstrual cycle.
This gland controls simultaneously the endocrine system, metabolism and sexual activity.
2. You stopped taking oral contraceptives
Oral contraceptives do not allow a woman to become pregnant.
They maintain a high level of estrogen in the body, which is perceived by the body as a pregnancy and interferes with fertilization.
21 days after taking oral contraceptives, menstruation comes as usual.
Unfortunately, very often, when women stop taking oral contraceptives, menstruation becomes irregular or even disappears due to sudden hormonal changes.
It is estimated that approximately 29% of women who stop taking oral contraceptives suffer from cycle disorders for about 3 months.
3. Stress and exhausting workouts
Exhausting sports training can adversely affect the health of the adrenal gland, thyroid and pituitary gland, which usually leads to violations of the menstrual cycle.
For example, women who are preparing for a marathon or sports competitions, may face a lack of menstruation within one to two months due to changes in hormonal activity.
Typically, about 81% of women who are engaged in bodybuilding, face amenorrhea, at least 1 time in life.
4. Hormonal imbalance
Hormonal imbalance, which leads, for example, to polycystic ovary syndrome, is the main cause of the menstrual cycle failure.
It changes the level of sexual hormones in the body, including estrogen, progesterone and testosterone.
This can cause such unpleasant consequences, as, for example, abnormal growth of hair on the body, acne and sudden fluctuations in weight.
Another hormonal problem is the so-called "premature menopause", which can begin before the onset of 40 years.
As a rule, irregular menstruation is accompanied by:
- Dryness in the vagina
- Night sweats
- Sharp changes in mood
5. Allergy and intolerance to certain foods
Intolerance to certain foods and food allergies can disrupt the regularity of the menstrual cycle.
Almost always this harms the activity of the adrenal glands, causes stress and an imbalance of sexual hormones.
6. Lack of nutrients
Malnutrition can negatively affect the thyroid and adrenal glands.
The lack of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and probiotics in the body increases the level of cortisol in the body and leads to hypothyroidism and corticosteroid fatigue.
A high level of cortisol not only increases stress, but also inhibits the activity of many important hormones that are responsible for sexual activity.
At the first sign of irregular menstruation, it is very important to guarantee your body a full balanced diet.
It is important to know what factors cause irregularities in the menstrual cycle in order to provide appropriate treatment.
In addition, you need to consult a doctor to check the hormonal background and the factors that affect this problem.

The equivalent of the sixth largest Canadian airport is driving across the border every year and taking flights from the United States.
Canadian airlines continue to see strong demand, but about five million Canadians are flying out of the U.S. rather than Canadian airports, a new report by the Conference Board of Canada says. That would rank it sixth behind the six million-plus travellers flying annually out of Edmonton.
The catalyst for the cross-border bleed, as the industry calls it, is the estimated 30-per-cent cost advantage U.S. airlines have over Canadian carriers. The report details the structure in which the Canadian air-travel infrastructure is paid for by users rather than all taxpayers. The flip side is that changes to this policy and subsequently lower fares could draw two million more travellers per year to fly through Canadian airports, the report said.
The government and the airline industry differ on which system is better.
Canadian fees and taxes make up approximately 40 per cent of the total price difference between higher Canadian and lower U.S. fares. "You can't add on another fee and pretend it doesn't have an impact," said Vijay Gill, principal research associate at the Conference Board.
On the American side, certain fees for flights are applied only to international routes, not to U.S. domestic-only fares, the report says.
Millions of Canadians regularly take advantage of the price differences. And while airports from Bellingham, Washington or Buffalo, N.Y., deck themselves in Canadian flags and offer low parking fees to welcome the cross-border business, the Canadian airlines have been complaining to Ottawa for years about the problem.
Twenty years ago, fees to upgrade Canada's airports were needed, and they were charged travellers. "Now we have amazing airports, everybody recognizes that, but they are expensive," which necessitates in turn high charges incurred by the airlines using them, argued Marc-Andre O'Rourke, director of the National Airlines Council of Canada.
"In a nutshell, it's the way our government views our industry. They see it as a system in which they can charge the user, get some money out of it, as opposed to treating it like an engine," he said.
A Senate committee report in June made a similar argument, saying "the government of Canada should stop treating airports as a source of public revenue, such as toll booths, and start treating them as economic spark plugs," said Senator Dennis Dawson, chair of the committee.
The Conference Board report argued that the government should the cost differences faced by Canadian airlines and their U.S. competitors, as well as charge a flat rate, rather than one based on revenue.
Transport Canada said in a statement Wednesday that Canada operates on a user-pay principle, in which all tax payers aren't forced to subsidize air travellers.
"In the United States, key elements of the aviation system are government owned and operated. In Canada, those who fly pay for the system. Our government will continue to keep taxes and fees as low as possible, while ensuring the ongoing sustainability of our airports," the ministry said.
It also argued that the rent paid to the government by the airport and ultimately paid by travellers is not a major factor in pricing. "Airport rent accounts for less than one per cent of the total ticket price for air travel and is not likely to be a key factor in a traveler's decision to choose a U.S. airport over a Canadian airport," Transport Canada said.
Mr. Gill of the Conference Board added that the American aviation system isn't paying for upgrades in the same way as in Canada. Therefore the current airfare advantage might not be sustainable.
"It's not just a matter of us having a user-pay system and the U.S. subsidizing their infrastructure. They [the U.S.] are also underfunding it. So at some point, they are going to have to increase their subsidies...or they are going to have to increase their user fees," he said.

Last friday, hubby and I had a late dinner at the Piazza Pazzo at the Powerplant Mall, Rockwell Makati. I was craving for pesto, and Rockwell was the closest place we could go to... We were thinking of eating at Amici's but Megamall and Greenhills is just too far away, considering that the friday-night traffic jam was simply terrible!
The ambiance in the restaurant was relaxed. not pretentious at all. the staff who served us was very helpful in guiding us through the menu. we explained that we wanted a simple pesto dish...she offered that they can whip up a pasta dish with pesto sauce and shrimps, even thought it was not on the menu, she said that they can accomodate our wish! =)
We planned on ordering just the pasta dish, but when we saw their list of pizzas, we just had to try the eggplant sausage thin crust pizza. yummy! They even had an authentic italian hot sauce to go with the pizza.
The food was definitely scrumptious. they also had various flavors of gelato, but we were just too full to eat dessert. we agreed that there's always a next time... and then maybe we'll just eat lots of gelato!

Posts filed under 'AV Room'
Summer project
While you were away, we have been busy re-arranging the library. When you enter the AV room, you will notice a different arrangement of AV materials. DVDs, VCDs and blue ray discs have been inter-filed and removed to the shelves near the entrance to the AV Room. We have replaced a large number of videocassettes by DVDs, making room for the expanding CD collection. Please follow the link to see the new floor plan. http://www.hkapa.edu/media/general/download/lib/AV-Room.pdf
Colour Signage in the AV Room
In our daily contact with staff and students, we learned that they found it difficult to locate AV materials in the AV Room, therefore we have re-labeled all the shelves by colour signage to stand out the material format, shelf order and the call number range of each shelf.

Ask many questions before buying a house in France
Unfortunately, buyers do not always know what they are looking for. Selection criteria are often changed during the search, depending on the house being visited. This is one of the reasons why buyers generally do not ask enough questions. That does not have to cause any problems, but prevention is better than cure.
Buying a house in France through the informal circuit
Everyone knows everyone, and everyone knows everything in the villages and small towns in France. At least, that's how it seems. Anyway, you can sometimes find out a lot about the local housing market by talking to the locals. Hotels, chambres d'hôtes, cafés, restaurants, campsites are the best places to do so because you can build short-term relationships here. By the way, local is entirely relative. The gossip area often extends for miles around.

As pundits come and go and commenters also, they think they have the monopoly on saying what they think. In this paper, I am offering my observation of this Republican debate which happened in New Hampshire.
As expected, the feud between Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz is still ongoing. Only it took a different twist this time. Cruz caught Rubio red-handed with an interview with Univision. As reported, Rubio still wants amnesty for the 11+ million people who are here illegally and will not close the border between Mexico and the United States. Rubio shot back at Cruz saying that, he does not speak Spanish. Whether Cruz speaks Spanish, or not, there are other people that do.
Rubio has a significant problem. He was a member of the Gang of Eight. He has skin in the game. This bill created amnesty, a path to citizenship and federal benefits. One main function of federal benefits is Social Security. If Rubio becomes the next president, we can be assured that this amnesty bill will pass because as I understand it, Paul Ryan likes Marco Rubio and the bill will pass in the House and because Rubio being the president, it will pass in the Senate. We will be stuck with legalized, illegals. They will also have the ability to vote and collect Social Security checks without working a day in their life. They will also have Medicare.
This will fly into the face of hard working Americans who worked for these benefits from the time they were old enough to hold a job and now benefits are given to people who are not entitled to have them.
The Trump/Cruz feud escalated further when Cruz was caught lying about Trump in a robo-call. Cruz and company, was caught lying in Iowa when he stole votes from Carson and now he is trying to steal votes again in New Hampshire. Cruz also sent voting flyers to numerous people in Iowa telling them to fix their voting record they need to vote for Cruz.
Although, I find the Tea Party is supporting Ted Cruz. I get these surveys and I did not vote for Cruz. What I also find is this. The Tea Party did not provide the results of the vote. They stated they received 2 million votes and Ted Cruz was the winner. Looking at the candidates, which candidate was supported by the Tea Party before he ever considered running for president. Now, as we have it, Ted Cruz is doing nothing more than what Obama did when he first ran for the presidency. Besides lying and cheating where he can get away with it, the only difference between Obama and Cruz, is that Obama had multiple things on a number of people running for the same office. Hillary was victim to this and considering her shady background, one can understand why she gave up. I still believe to this day, if not for the shenanigans of Obama, she would have been the president.
The New Hampshire debate was especially heated. One thing I observed was, it was attack Trump night. While there were multiple boos that night, one can surmise the RNC was basically behind this attack. The RNC has no business in the primaries, yet from the beginning of Trumps' announcement of running for president, the Chairman of the RNC was trying to oust him. The only place for the RNC is to back the nominee for president; whoever that will be.
Donald Trump is the only person in this race who is self-financed. No other candidate can say this. Even the Koch Brothers do not want Trump in the mix. There are too many, backroom/smokehouse deals going on and with Trump ending on the stage accepting the nomination will throw a number of monkey-wrenches in their dealings.
Every financed candidate will owe their donors and the donors will own them until paid back and this is where these backroom deals come from.
Jeb Bush is a funny piece of work. Jeb just does not ask for the voters to vote for him, he is begging for those votes. He has nothing new to offer and he is beholden to Bill Gates because he gave a million dollars to his Florida Education Foundation and Bill Gates is a supporter of common core education. With all the money Jeb has blown on his candidacy, he could have bought Michael Moore's mansions, five times or more. As of late, it has been found that Jeb Bush used eminent domain for private purposes as well as his brother, George. GW is a partner of the Rangers and is still gaining money from the baseball field in Arlington, TX and this was done when he was the Governor of Texas.
The RNC faces special problems. If Jeb Bush should drop from the race, it will force the RNC to support Marco Rubio as the alternate to Jeb Bush. Jeb Bush as I perceive it, he must remain in the run. The reason for this is the RNC wants to broker the convention. The RNC does not want Donald Trump as the nominee and they will do anything and everything they can to keep Trump from the nomination. Although, this may be rather suspect, Marco Rubio is eyeing a brokered convention. Information is slowly coming out, more and more about the RNC brokering this upcoming convention.
Concluding, when the New Hampshire voters vote in their primary, I would hope they remember what these candidates are trying to do. They hope that you will forget about their lying and cheating. They hope that you have forgotten about the Gang of Eight and amnesty that threatens their benefits.
Kasich did not want in the middle of attack Trump, but he never said for them to stop having a nasty debate. Because of not telling these people to quit, he condones the attacks on Trump which in my observation was orchestrated by the RNC.
There is an old adage, "How can you tell a politician is lying?" When they open their mouths.
Lastly, I like certain movies. The Hunt For Red October is one I will watch a number of times. There is a scene in this movie, about 15 to 20 minutes in and this scene is in a conference room. At the end of this conference, this politician tells Mr. Ryan (Alex Baldwin) to stay. The part that is interesting about this, the politician states to Mr. Ryan, "I am a politician. I lie and I cheat and when I am not kissing babies, I am stealing their lollipops."
I truly believe the RNC will be the used car salesman trying to sell us the old clunker with sawdust in the oil. We as the people of America are looking for something better. We should not look to the RNC and the establishment and while they have nothing to offer, they want us to accept another 4 years of nothing.

This week's review of D'Corazon marks something of a return to reality -- to a restaurant where I can dependably guess what my food is going to look and taste like when I order it, a place where I don't have to worry about anyone trying to sneak pomegranate into my tacos. I had a good time eating there, cleansing both my palate and my soul with big plates of enchiladas and ranchero pork chops. It was like a mini-vacation.
And when all was said and done, it made me think about some of the other Mexican places in town that I use regularly for the same purpose: making myself feel better after overindulging in the modern, goofy dumbassery of chefs altogether too full of themselves and too proud by half of their retarded fusion impulses. So without further ado, I present to you...
El Taco de Mexico, 714 Santa Fe Drive. My first, best love in this town when it comes to super-traditional Mexican grub. Everything that comes out of the kitchen is fantastic, and ten minutes at the counter is like going to confession for serious gastronauts.
Taqueria Patzcuaro, 2616 West 32nd Avenue. Just like El Taco, but with Michoacan cuisine--meaning more pork, more onions and (no small thing) a liquor license.
Tacos y Salsas, 910 South Federal Boulevard. There are now several locations of this nascent chain, and more seem to be springing up (or being discovered) all the time. But I still love this one on Federal the best, and its parking lot remains the best place where I've ever had my car break down.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
Senor Burrito, 12 East First Avenue. My favorite Mexican pork chops in the city, and one of my favorite Mexican restaurants, period. Just saying the name makes me hungry.
Los Carboncitos, 3575 West 38th Avenue. Although I like this location best, multiple locations (there are now three Los Carboncitos outlets) just multiplies the goodness. Go for the huaraches, for the incredible salsas, or just for the fact that nearly everything on the menu comes with bacon.
Tacos D.F., 2020 South Parker Road, Aurora. Like El Taco, this place is less a restaurant to me than a church. I love every single thing on the menu -- even the things that I have no idea what they are -- and often will order by pointing to whatever the person in front of me in line just walked away with: "Ooh, just gimme one of those..."

The U.K.'s $1.3 Million Government Wine Cellar
In London, the political news cycle has been dominated by the subject of public-sector cuts. Since winning the election in May, Conservative Chancellor George Osborne has identified more than £6 billion worth of savings in a bid to trim the U.K's £156 billion budget deficit. Prime Minister David Cameron has warned that the age of irresponsibility is giving way to the age of austerity.
Against this backdrop it has emerged that since May, the U.K. government has spent almost £18,000 topping up the government wine cellar. Foreign Office Minister Henry Bellingham has revealed that the total value of the government's wine cellar is now £864,000, or $1.3 million, and includes such names as Château Latour, Château Lafite, Château Margaux and Château Mouton Rothschild.
Inevitably there have been calls by some politicians to sell the government wine cellar and replace the vintage claret with plonk. I am all for finding value for money, particularly when it is tax payers that are footing the bill, but Britain does have an enviable history in wine connoisseurship. We may not have produced the finest wine in the world, but for the best part of four centuries, we have drunk it. Visiting dignitaries to London should expect something a little better than supermarket labels.
