MetLife Building
When the 807 ft. MetLife Building in Manhattan's Midtown opened half a century ago, it was viewed as an 'assault' on it's iconic neighbor, Grand Central Terminal. However, it was indicative of what the real estate market wanted in the 1960s.

Kmart has a new holiday commercial that's naughty but oh, so nice. It's called "Show Your Joe," and the Joe in question is Joe Boxer.
Yeah, it's that nice.
It starts with a conventional (albeit gorgeous)-looking, all-male, tuxedo-clad bell sextet. They finish their song and put down their bells as the audience politely applauds. Then the handbell table is pulled away, revealing that the performers are wearing nothing but Joe Boxer underwear below their jackets.
Then the real show begins: the hunky men shake their butts back and forth to the tune of "Jingle Bells." Since they're wearing boxers, of course, their (ahem) holiday packages shake too.
The Huffington Post explains for any subtlety-impaired readers who may not get the joke: "The typical interpretation of their actions is that the men's testicles are swinging in their shorts, thus creating the bell sounds."
Clever, huh? Judging by the comments on Kmart's Facebook page, the Joe Boxer commercial has elicited the predictable self-righteous harumphs and moralistic pearl-clutching from the puritanical set, and smiles of enjoyment from those of us who possess senses of humor but lack sticks up our posteriors.
Which camp do you fall into? Check it out after the jump and let us know what you think.

2014 appearances:
Portland, OR
Pac Con
Spokane, WA
Bellingham Comic Con
Fernsdale, WA
So, I finally got the thumbnails for the rest of chapter 1 straightened out, and it seems I jumped the gun a little. There's another 9 pages or so, which means another 4+ weeks until the chapter's over. See, the pages coming next aren't part of the original brainstorm I had a year ago. They're a little bit of extra context to set the stage for the "present day" which starts in chapter 2. I'm also planning to refine my style a little by then. I want to improve the boldness of my lines, and go to a more cell-shaded sort of style. Considering my love of airbrushing, this might not last very long, but we'll see.
So, with chapter 1 wrapping up shortly, I have a huge request to all you readers (ah, mainly just my friends at this point, I guess). Anyone up for some fanart? Yeah, that's right. I'm asking for a little fanart filler. I'm going to be doing designs on some new characters and testing out a little different inking/ toning style, breaking into the present-day stuff in the storyline. So I'll likely miss a few updates. I figure it's a good chance to feature everyone else :)
Anyone up for it? <3 you can email me at plotholetsi (at) gmail.com
The last 2.5 days at work were DEAD boring. Seriously. DEAD. There was NOTHING to do! So I ended up doing the lettering for the comic at work, and even some of the flat toning and texturizing (I wouldn't dare try and do shadows without a tablet these days). But I still ended up missing deadlines because of a sorority meeting and general lazyness. I enjoy working on the comic during my breaks at work, but I have a harder time focusing on it at home recently. Probably because of the stress. But there's three more updates loaded into the auto-update system. They're there. You just have to wait for them! HA!
FINALLY put together the comic bag I've been meaning to for a few months now. Even if I drop the comic TOMORROW, I think this will still be one of the most useful bags I've ever constructed. It's like triple-reinforced all over, too! Mwahaha.
Here's a link to it on DA
Okay I'm a drama queen. There's a monday update for certain, and I'm currently going gung-ho to pencil the rest of this chapter.
That's RIGHT! The END! This chapter will be somewhere between 26 and 30 or so pages, depending on whether I stick a few pages in as the END of this chapter, or the BEGINNING of the next one.
E gads! I better make this chapter longer, then, I just realized that I don't have a chapter 2 cover image ready yet! D: oh noes!
So... I dropped the ball hard didn't I? No comic update, no filler. No nothing. Adn I can't say I was doing anything too important. I was playing some fable-II and I tried my hand at baking girl scout cookies (cause it's two years in a row now we've missed them at the grocery stores, what gives?) Well the cookies came out sort of so-so. The thin mints are okay but they're chewy, not melt-in-your-mouth, y'know?
Alright alright anyway you don't care about my cookies. I'll try and get an update up soon, but I hate to say that things are just busy. I've got a lot of stress at work and I still need to finish an art piece for James and that necklace for Ray & Tanya (assuming the last components come in. Any day guys, where're the sparklies I ordered?)
So that's what's going on right now. *sigh*
I have a possibility of as much as 20 hours of overtime this week. I blame it on Direct TV and the exhibit House's inability to PLAN. This seems to be a trait of many of our customers. *sigh*
So.... went to Jean's house yesterday to try and get this facetting machine up and running. Sat around watching Vicky do awesome things with a wire brush and a screwdriver, but didn't do much myself. Some Tylenol PM knocked me out when I was just trying to cure a headache, however. That killed Saturday, and my husband's birthday really killed Sunday. Even with the 4-5 hours I had to myself, I seem to have left the crucial few pages of my notes/script for the comic at work, so I couldn't complete it even if I wasn't having a weird spazz/depression/anger attack for most of the day. So I'm very VERY sorry, but it just didn't get done. I have the lineart, and I'll be putting the ink and stuff together ASAP, I promise! But at this rate, this Monday's update might just be a bust. See you by Thursday, at the latest. Sorry everybody.
If you saw a lineart version of this comic this morning, my bad. I actually had it done Tuesday night, but seem to have forgotten to upload the final toned version ^^; gomen'ne!
I can't seem to get more than barely caught up with my comic updates. I don't know why, I just seem to go through time frames where I can't get into that niche in my brain that lets me complete the pages WELL, and FAST. Despite going to see my parents tomorrow and baking cookies and stuff, I might have time to get the toning on page 16 done. If not, you get a black and white page. Granted, there's some very nice ink work on that page (if I may gloat a little...)
It has been a very crazy week. Not for any reason that I can accurately describe, but many small factors. We had a constant roller-coaster ride of frantic overtime and complete boredom, and this was just after I returned from a few days in Michigan. Not to mention the 3-hour time difference in each direction. We narrowly avoided having to print all day Saturday and Sunday at the whim of the all-mighty Todd *makes a rude gesture* because of stupid customers in China. Yes, China. Long story. So I fixed page 13, and I have the line-art for 14 and 15. I'm trying to get back up to speed everyone, bear with me. And yes I know that I don't really have enough of a reader base to be concerned about grumpy readers yet. Heh.
So if you're reading this, then I'm on a Plane on my way to Michigan. Correct that, on a plane on my was to Illinois. We have to go through O'Hare before getting to Detroit. The tickets were 100$ cheaper and only added an hour and a half.
Oh, but the real purpose of this news post: I'll be a little behind on comics because of this. I'll try to catch up, but there might be a filler day or two in the upcoming week.
So I've been fussing around with the tablet this past evening (all the way in to 2am, yikes!) and I think I'm going to make a bunch of little portrait images with different emotions kinda like was Least I Could Do does.
So I'm trying out the image-selection feature on the News module. If this is working correctly you should see an annoyed little face to the left, and there should e a small width of space between that image and the edge of this text.

Blind Students from Across the Nation Come to Baltimore for Hands-on Engineering Program
National Federation of the Blind Conducts First NFB EQ Program under New NSF Grant.
Baltimore, Maryland (July 24, 2018): The National Federation of the Blind (NFB) will welcome thirty blind high school students to its Baltimore headquarters next week for a summer engineering program called NFB EQ ("Engineering Quotient"). NFB EQ will be a jam-packed week of fun and learning. Students will spend each day in activities designed to strengthen their knowledge of engineering and problem-solving skills. In the evenings, they will explore the Baltimore community and participate in a range of interactive recreational activities that supplement and enhance their learning in the classroom.
This is the first of five new NFB EQ programs supported by a multi-year grant from the National Science Foundation. In addition to making blind youth aware of techniques to help them succeed in engineering and other STEM disciplines, the programs will contribute to important research on the development of spatial reasoning, the ability to mentally manipulate and comprehend 2D and 3D objects, in blind children and youth. Students will learn the basics of tactile sketching and technical drafting, create multi-view drawings and diagrams that represent forces and vectors, and develop their capacity to interpret 3D objects tactilely and represent them in drawings. They will also learn about architectural design and will explore the process from their own original sketches through to the building of their unique structures by the end of the week.
"For well over a decade now, the National Federation of the Blind has encouraged blind students to participate in STEM subjects and developed techniques for helping them to do so," said Mark Riccobono, President of the National Federation of the Blind. "We are pleased to once again have the opportunity to welcome blind high school students to Baltimore for a week of empowerment, learning, and fun, while at the same time enhancing the understanding of tools and techniques that will help these students in STEM studies and beyond."
For more information on NFB EQ, including testimonials from participants in past programs, please visit https://blindscience.org/nfbeq. Members of the media interested in reporting on the program during the week should contact Chris Danielsen at 410-262-1281 or firstname.lastname@example.com to schedule a visit.

Living & Working in Great Places
Thanks for being here! The six of us at CoolWorks welcome you and wish you success in finding your Jobs in Great Places®!
Writing a good resume is extremely important when applying for a job. Because it is your first contact with a potential employer, a professional, well-written resume is a must. Of course, many employers will want to see your previous working experience in your resume.
Seasonal job experience is one of the best ways to show an employer that you are serious about looking for work.
While talking about the importance of seasonal job experience for employment, we will also try to show you some of the most effective ways to use this experience in your resume.
Seasonal jobs are often a big opportunity to try out a new company or industry and get an insight into how the place works.
This knowledge will later help you adjust to your working environment and it will make easier to adapt and meet the demands of your new workplace.
If you've just finished college and you need to fill your resume, seasonal jobs can be great for gathering experience. The same applies if you are planning to switch industries, but have no experience. A seasonal job is one of the most effective ways to beef up your resume.
The gaps in your resume can seriously undermine your chances of getting a job. Employers will generally favor candidates with a consistent record of employment. Seasonal jobs are one of the most effective ways to stay active on the job market while filling the gaps in your resume.
Remember that huge gaps in your resume are likely to have a very negative impact on potential employers.
Seasonal jobs give the necessary experience to remain competitive on the job market and keep an eye on the right opportunities for you.
As we've previously mentioned, a seasonal job is your chance to get to learn how a particular business industry works. Once you know the rules, you have all you need to successfully apply to a full-time position in your business industry.
Employers will always put your experience on the top of their priority list when considering your resume.
This is where your seasonal job experience help you in your resume. Previous experience in your business industry will be a huge plus in your resume, as it tells employers that you already know the rules of the industry.
Here are some of the key things you need to consider when writing seasonal positions in your resume.
One of the most important thing to keep in mind is that you have to make sure that employers know that the job you listed is seasonal.
For example, if some of the positions in your resume lasted for a month or two, it might tell the employer that you were fired, and this is not the message you want to send.
So be sure to include the word 'seasonal' in the job description (or the title) to tell the employer that your position was temporary.
Some people might think that seasonal jobs are not something worth being proud of, or including it in their resume. In fact, this cannot be farther from truth.
Seasonal jobs require a specific set of skills and a great deal of flexibility, as well as responsibility and strong work ethic.
You can list all the skills you needed for your seasonal job, as well as all the positive aspects of your experience as a seasonal employee.
Remember that employers want to hear about your skills and positive traits. You should be very specific, talk about your skills and experience. Tell the employer why you think they should hire you, but avoid talking about yourself too much.
Also, try to highlight the positive things you learned from your seasonal position and new skills that you acquired.
Most importantly, your resume will have to persuade the employer that your skills are exactly what he needs.
A resume should not be a biography. Keep it simple and keep to the point. When writing about your seasonal positions, focus on the positives. Always keep it relevant to your employer. Be concise and use short sentences.
Writing a good job resume doesn't have to be complicated. Your resume should have a single page and your name on top of it.
You will also need to include your contact information and career overview where you need to describe your career objectives in one or two sentences.
Then include your education, previous job experience and skills. Be sure to use subheadings and bulleted lists.
You can hire some resume writing experts or just use some of the following free tools that can help you write a great resume that will show your seasonal job experience in a proper way:

The study involved splitting the 600 participants into two groups. 400 hundred then went on to undergo six group therapy sessions, and the remaining 200 received standard care. Both groups were monitored for a year.
The group therapy sessions were based upon a similar premise to that of cognitive behavioural therapy, which aims to tackle unhelpful or negative beliefs. In the case of back pain, patients were set up to discuss beliefs around participating in physical activity to counter negative thoughts surrounding back pain and the restrictions it brings. The group therapy also involved relaxation techniques.
The idea of the sessions was to help patients overcome their fear of hurting themselves so that they could become active once again and reduce the risk of flare-ups.
One year on and the individuals who underwent the therapy sessions achieved notably better scores on questionnaires which were designed to measure their level of disability and pain, compared to those who received standard care only.

Thank you for visiting our website. Please enjoy your time here, click around to learn more about our ministries and what we believe, read through the Frequently Asked Questions below, listen to a message or two from our minister Jeff, and let us know if you have any further questions.
While were glad that you're checking us out online, we invite you to experience the Bellevue church in person. We know that looking for a new home can be intimidating, so whether you've grown up in church, never been to church, or are coming back to church, our desire is that you feel welcomed and accepted. We look forward to meeting you and your family.
Bellevue church of Christ is a non-denominational church solely founded upon God's Word. Each local church of Christ independently and autonomously runs its own affairs. We have a plurality of elders (1 Tim. 3:1-7, Titus 1:5-9) who shepherd the flock to ensure we stand firm on the Truth, the Word of God. Deacons (1 Timothy 3:8-13), men who have volunteered to serve as a leader in a particular area of ministry for family in Bellevue. As stated in the Bible, the head of the Lord's church is Christ (Ephesians 5:23) and here at Bellevue we strive to follow the New Testament pattern (Acts 2) for His church.
Membership in the church of Christ takes place when an individual obeys the Gospel by being buried with Christ through baptism (Acts 2:38-47). There are no cards to fill out that makes one a member of a church, but merely following the pattern we see in God's Word. We may ask you to fill out a card, but that is so we can know your name and try to get to know you a little better while we all serve God together.
Our Sunday morning Bible classes for all ages start every Sunday at 9:15am. In our classes you can know that you will study God's Word and have opportunity to grow closer to God and each other through study, prayer, conversation and fellowship.
Our worship services on Sunday morning start at 10:15am and last about an hour and fifteen minutes. If you can't make it to our Bible study at 9:15, please come for worship. Our worship services offer songs of faith and praise, a Biblically sound and relevant message for today as well as a welcoming, loving atmosphere, and friendly people who are eager to meet you, fellowship with you and connect with you.
We recommend arriving about 15 minutes before the service to allow time for parking and to give us a chance to welcome you!
In a word, "Biblical". We are privileged each Sunday to offer worship to God through prayer, song, communion, a lesson based on Scripture and a weekly contribution (don't worry, we don't ask any of our visitors to give money, unless they choose to).
One of the first things that may seem different to you if you've never worshiped at a church of Christ is that we sing without musical instruments! We read in the Bible that we are commanded to sing and make melody with our hearts (Ephesians 5:19), so we praise and worship God without any instrument other than our voices. God gave us the most beautiful instrument of all to worship and sing praises to Him, our hearts. Don't feel like you have to know every song, melody etc., just sing from your heart and allow yourself to praise Him like His Word tell us to.
Psalm 100:1–5 Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth. Serve the LORD with gladness; Come before Him with joyful singing. Know that the LORD Himself is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name. For the LORD is good; His loving-kindness is everlasting and His faithfulness to all generations.
The Bellevue church is a family friendly church with a strong commitment to building a Godly foundation in our children, youth and young adults. We offer specialized classes for children and youth of all ages – from infants through teenagers.
All of our children and youth ministries allow your children to grow and experience the promises of God through praise, worship and Biblical instruction, according to Matthew 19:14.
There is no dress code at our church. Many people dress up, and just as many come dressed casually. When you worship with us you should be comfortable. Your comfort may be traditional church attire, jeans and sneakers or business casual. Come as you are! James 2:1-5
As a guest, you are welcome but not expected to make an offering or contribution. The time set aside for our contribution during our services is for members who give freely what they have prepared and prayed for in their heart. Our members give as part of their commitment to God and the church, in order to help the local church and His Kingdom grow.
2 Corinthians 9:7 Each one must do (give) just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
You will not be asked to say anything or introduce yourself as a visitor during worship. As our way of welcoming you, we do want to greet and welcome you, but never in a way that would make you feel uncomfortable.
You will be asked fill out a guest information card if you would like more information about our church or have questions or a desire to learn more about God and the local church here in Bellevue.
Our sole purpose when meeting you is to let you know you are welcome here and to provide any answers or help you may need to decide if you want to make the Bellevue church of Christ your place to worship. We hope you choose to worship with us, but we will not pressure you to do so.
Absolutely! The Bellevue church is a praying church. Simply fill out the prayer request on the Guest Card and we will pray for you specifically at the end of services. At the end of the sermon the minister will offer an invitation for those who are in need of prayer to come forward and be prayed for by the minister or one of the elders. During this invitation if you would like to study or learn more about salvation and what is required of you, you can come forward at this time as well.
We are also available to pray with you privately. If you would like to keep your prayer private, the elders will set aside a time to pray for you. In addition, we have a weekly prayer meeting each Thursday where the members gather to pray for those who are in need.
If you wish, you may also send prayer requests online through the Prayer page here (and at bottom of our website) or call the church office. Your prayer request will be forwarded to our minister and our elders.
Communion, also referred to as the Lord's Supper, is observed each Sunday during worship and Sunday evening if an individual was unable to attend morning services. All Christians participate as we remember and honor Christ's death on the cross.
Men from the congregation will pass around a tray that has unleavened bread which members break off a small piece which represents Christ's body that hung on the cross. It is not His literal body, but a symbol to remind us of His sacrifice for all sin. After the bread, a tray filled with tiny individual cups of grape juice is passed around by the men of the church. Each member takes one of the cups drinks and places the empty cup back into the tray. This grape juice, the "fruit of the vine", represents Christ's blood that was shed on for us. Without His willing and complete sacrifice there would be no hope for mankind.
For more study and information, please read the following passages from the New Testament: Matthew 26:26-29, Mark 14:22–25; Luke 22:19, 20; 1 Cor. 11:23–26, Acts 20:7
Yes! Our minister Jeff will try to meet you before service begins, but if he is unable, he will be standing at the back of the auditorium after services as you leave. If you would like to speak privately with Jeff, he can arrange to meet with you after most of the congregation has left. This allows for Jeff to greet all guests as well as speak with the members before they leave. If you have a question, you can write it down and give it to him along with your phone number and he'll call you during the week to discuss what the Bible says about your question.
Our members and visitors are young and old, single and married, with and without children. We have military members, teachers, students, and people from every walk of life. No one is more valued than another as we are all the same in God's eyes. We'd love to add you to our family here in Bellevue as we continue to grow in God's Kingdom.
On Sunday mornings, greeters, ushers and friendly members are always on hand to talk with you and answer any questions you might have about our church. You may also contact the church office at 402-291-3585 or our form here. We look forward to getting to know you!

Our Music Producers
|FUZZYDADDY - Founder
Everything started some years ago, when Fuzzy Daddy promised himself he would make his own music blog. This formidable blog would soon be known as "Boozetunes". Until then, Fuzz was an urban legend, a legend that no one had ever seen or even talked to.
Slowly but steadily, his blog became more and more accurate and complete, till it finally became famous all around the globe, reaching beyond the five continents and beyond the seven seas. Nonetheless, his humble personality and rigid moral principles could only allow him to keep a low profile, staying away from the public eyes.Fuzz like his friends, believed that the art of sharing music, was a lot more than a need to them. Music is one of the most beatiful things people can share with each other.
So after a lot of "musical wandering", Fuzz and his Popsyke Diaries finally met their friends again in the LostInTyme radio. This kind of wandering will never stop for sure. There will always be something new and beautiful out there, waiting to be discovered by our ears.
|HORATIUS REX - Founder
He seized the day, trusting the future as little as he could. Quintus Horatius Flaccus. Without reminders of our older existence, the seeking journey alters both our mind and soul. Some were lost... some went on the other side... HORATIUS REX, a musical stalker that is here to join and lead the eclectic people towards the road of an unavoidable psycho-progressive truth.
|PSYCHSPANIOLOS - Founder
While being Lost In Tyme... constantly searching and cautiously excavating music from rather rutty and deserted musical paths, I was parallely growing a deep respect for all these unknown and underrated artists, living, waiting for us in their uncharted waters.
Therefore, I grew solicitude for my quest to unveil the remarkable work done by these great musical figures, who due to bad luck remained unknown, having very little attention drawn to them over time.
My goal is to let these musical treasures shine like they deserve to.
|SPELLBOUND - Founder
My morning sky is blue and purple, my clouds are orange and pink, my sunsets are gold, my nights are filled with luminous stars and comet trails that spread silver dust among forest trees where fairies whisper their tales…
…So my timepiece becomes my morning laugh measuring how content I am, like a dial beneath the sun, with words that I held inside, but could never speak out loud…And time just passed me by like the river's flow... But still, I am telling my rivers to keep on flowing, my forests to keep on growing… Till I find a way……And It always seemed strange to me, the fact that my dream had never really changed...
I always needed music just as much as my ocean needs to reach for the rivers… deep in me, flowing deep in me…Music always started like an immense shadow, till it finally stood up radiating light, smooth and sleek like a dolphin playing above the sea. The only direction is the one that both the sun and the moon follow.
As long as the clouds are shifting gently, and as long as the stars are pinned high in the sky, I will try for my best.Slowly I'm being awakened by a sound and finally I get to remember what it was that brought me here…Lost is where I find myself searching for something… seeking which direction I can follow…
Lost is where I listen to the voices all around… …voices that will lead me back to the shore… Lost is what I needed to be...to discover where I was …to find what it is that I'm sailing for… … and I am still sailing through the widest seas…
that's me and I am Spellbound…

New Delhi, October 26: Prime Minister Narendra Modi Sunday urged NDA parliamentarians to spread the message of 'Swachh Bharat' or Clean India initiative to schools in their respective areas.
"Modi urged the MPs of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) to visit schools in their areas over a five-day period beginning Nov 14 -- the 125th birth anniversary of India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru, and explain to children the importance of hygiene. This would send a positive message," said a statement from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The statement said Modi also urged the members of parliament, for whom he hosted a 'Diwali Milan' at his official residence at 7 Race Course Road, to "take to the people, the work done by the NDA government for the welfare of the poor".
He also urged the parliamentarians to help chart a new course for the country.
"The 400-odd MPs of the NDA together represented a force with tremendous positive energy, which could help chart a new course for the country. Let us think big. Let us think far. Let us think above politics," the statement quoted Modi as saying.
During the gathering, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley briefed the MPs on the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana, coal, gas pricing and diesel deregulation.
Rural Development Minister Nitin Gadkari spoke about the Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana and Labour Minister Narendra Singh Tomar briefed them on the various initiatives taken under the Shramev Jayate Karyakram.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu gave some tips for the upcoming winter session of parliament.
The Diwali Milan was also attended by BJP president Amit Shah, and senior leader L.K. Advani.

FORT MYERS, Fla. � �An incredible experience,� said Nick Punto.
FORT MYERS, Fla. - "An incredible experience," said Nick
"An incredible, incredible experience," according to Cody
Ross and Punto are two of Boston's three free-agent pickups in
the offseason, and they share more than a reputation as solid
players and quality clubhouse presences.
While the Red Sox have missed the last two postseasons, Ross and
Punto each has won a world championship. Citing that "amazing" (for
Punto) and "surreal" (for Ross) feeling that comes with being a
member of the last team standing, each came to Boston in large part
because of the chance to do it again.
Ross and Punto were part of similarly remarkable late-season
runs to the World Series.
In 2010, Ross became a Giant in August in a waiver deal as San
Francisco was trying to catch the first-place Padres in the N.L.
West. The Giants trailed by as many as 6 1/2 games in the final
week of August before catching San Diego and clinching the division
with a win over the Padres on the final day of the regular
The story of Punto's Cardinals, who overcame a 10 1/2-game
deficit in late August to pass the Braves on the final day of the
season, should be fresher in mind.
So what did the two learn about what it takes to win a World
"The motivation is from within," said Punto. "The motivation is
the 25 guys being a unit, and we were that to the extreme. We were
25 guys that really cared about one another. I'd take any of those
guys into the trenches with me. That's what it was about. No matter
what people thought of us, it didn't matter. We knew what we had,
we knew we were good enough. It was kind of a 'Never-say-die'
"What it comes down to is, what do we believe in here?" Ross
said. "Do we believe that we can do it, and is that our No. 1 goal?
We have to ask ourselves that daily."
Ross considers catching the Padres and getting to the postseason
the toughest step of the entire process.
"That was the hardest part of going through the whole deal: just
getting to the playoffs," he said. "Because anything can happen
once you're in there. As you saw with us and the Cardinals last
year and teams from the past - the '04 Sox, for instance - nobody
ever really gave them a chance. All you've got to do is just get
in. If you get in, anything can happen."
Unlike Ross, Punto had been to the playoffs before, reaching the
postseason four times with the Twins (but winning only one playoff
game in that stretch). The veteran said the difference in St. Louis
was the experience of having done it before around him.
"There were guys that had won World Series and knew what it took
to win World Series," he said. "Albert Pujols told us after we made
it to the playoffs - he threw a big meeting - and said, 'Hey, it's
not enough that we made it to the playoffs. Our goal is to win the
World Series, not to beat these guys.' He made it in our head that
we're supposed to be world champions - which goes against the
grain, because it's always 'Take it one game at a time.' I thought
that was unique, how he said, 'We're in the playoffs, but we should
be world champions.' I know that hit home for me."
For Ross and the Giants, it was about the clubhouse coming
"Everybody just jelled together in a way I had never seen before
on a team," he said. "I've never been on a team like that where
guys, all they cared about was one thing, and that was the team and
not themselves. That was a pretty neat experience."
It's tempting to call these all platitudes, to say that that
belief was hard to find in the box score and that Tim Lincecum and
Chris Carpenter had a lot more to do with winning it all than a
clubhouse full of Kumbayas.
At the same time, it would be remiss not to measure their
conversation of clubhouse chemistry in the context of what happened
to the Red Sox in 2011. A season ago, Boston was at least as
talented as those San Francisco and St. Louis' championship
But in Boston there wasn't much conversation about coming
together at the end of the season; rather, there was Terry Francona
chastising a team that wasn't "putting our best foot forward all
the time."
Ross acknowledged that it's impossible to judge the quality of a
clubhouse independent of a team's record - that winning begets
solidarity, and losing begets division.
But the fact that Ross and Punto are in the Boston clubhouse
this season speaks to how seriously the Red Sox are taking team
chemistry. That they have won, and done so recently, was part of
the reason the Red Sox were so interested in Ross and Punto. And
the talent that surrounds them is why they were each interested in
"I had a lot of opportunities to go to different places to play
this offseason. I turned down more money in some places," Ross
said. "But I want to win, and I want to be on a team that wants to
win and that's all they care about. That's what I've learned about
winning. I want that feeling again."
"Everybody in this room plays for that ultimate prize," said
Punto. "When you do it, the only thing that changes is you want to
do it again. Here I am in this clubhouse hoping for another chance
at that."

Best of luck to you. I did find it easier to talk to her and open up the lines of communication after I had some success and had been doing it for about 6 weeks. From my prospective it seemed easier to tell her after I had some noticable gains. So maybe come clean and see what she thinks.Start (04/25/2011): 6.875"BPEL x ~5.375" MSEG
Current (2/27/121): 7.625" BPEL (+.75) x -5.875" MSEG (+.5)

i am completely open with my girl from the start! i told her i was i was reading stuff on the internet about dick pumping and that it helped with erections and orgasims and that it could make it fatter too... i said to her that i didn't even care about if it made my dick bigger, but that i wanted better orgasims and better erections rather... but of course a bigger unit is way more fun to play with, its a novelty of sorts... she loves it and thinks all my toys and gagets are cute and funny, and i even tell her when i'm about to PE, i bring out my bathmate and dry hump her with it lol... so ya make it fun, tell her it may not be so drastic of an increase in penis size either, but indeed no matter what the case, stress that it will better your sexual health! do for her, do it for you and do it for the tons of other dudes that want to know about your seccess!

My starting stats were 6.2 bpel and 5.2 eg, my wife has enjoyed my increases all the way up to my current stats of 8.0 bpel and 6.2 eg. However I am starting to get too long in some positions and have bottomed out on her length wise, so I have modified my PE to all girth exercises which she loves and actually asks for. We have had 3 kids together and she was feeling loose(still felt great to me) so that's why I started PE, over the last 14 months of gains we have had some great sex, she really likes when I am at full thickness with a cock ring (6.75+ girth) but When it's that thick she can't give me a deep BJ, so it's a compromise. Had we not been totally open with each other my direction of PE and our sexual direction may be totally different.... TALK4/1/2010 Beginning BPEL-6.2"/EG-5.2"
Current BPEL-8.75"/EG-6.5"
Goal- BPEL-9.0"/EG-6.5"

Thanks all, I am going to continue PE. It will probably still be stealth mode. I know her enough to assume her response would be that I should use the PE time to find a better job or do more around the house or something to that effect.
Its been a month since our last encounter as we are having some trials due to finacial hardships. I would love to see some gains by our next time. I would rather her notice than expect gains if I were to tell her I was PEing.
In any case, thanks for the replies, we will get to the point of more openness but now seems like a bad time to bring up something that she will say she doesn't care about, even if she does.

she would be right - probably better ways to spend the time/$.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS Involved in "THE LION OF JUDAH HATH PREVAILED".
ABOUT THE ARTISTS involved in "THE LION OF JUDAH HATH PREVAILED".
The infectious grooving sounds of Detroit's legendary rock reggae sensations THE PROCESS are making believers of the masses with their blend of high energy rock and the grooving warmth and passion of reggae. On a mission to fight ignorance, apathy and social retardation, THE PROCESS has been at the center of attention and controversy , while breaking new ground with their uncompromising attitude and performances. THE PROCESS catalog of recordings crosses barriers and breaks down stereotypes that will keep even the most discriminating listener interested.
Ghetto Priest aka Squidz is one of the most flamboyant, creative performers to have emerged from the London music scene in the past few years. Like the community from which he hails, Ghetto Priest is a man at ease with multiple musical visions. Walk through the streets of London and you begin to grasp the flow and the rhythm that has produced his unique sound. It's a community of exchange; African/Caribbean and Irish, Asian and English, each mixing and informing the other, lending beats and grooves, keeping things fresh and new.
Little Axe is the alias of Skip McDonald, a blues performer whose list of credits also included work on some of rap music's most influential records. As a member of the Sugarhill Records house band, Skip, along with Doug Wimbish and Keith LeBlanc played on a number of the most seminal records of the era, including the Grandmaster Flash classics "The Message" and "White Lines." After exiting Sugarhill's ranks, the group worked at Tommy Boy Records, where they teamed with producer Adrian Sherwood to develop his famed On-U Sound. Sherwood subsequently convinced the trio to relocate to London, where they were rechristened Tackhead and fronted by vocalist Gary Clail. By 1992, McDonald adopted the name Little Axe and returned to the blues of his youth, albeit a brand of blues informed by his latter-day musical experiences.
Producer and programmer David Harrow is one of the busier and more elusive figures in techno, often shrouding his assorted activies under a variety of aliases. Among Harrow's earliest projects was a remix of the 1990 Depeche Mode hit "Enjoy the Silence". He later collaborated with artists ranging from African Head Charge to Psychic TV to Gary Clail, and also worked with the On-U Sound System and Andrew Weatherall. He also recorded under the guises Technova and James Hardway.
Long one of the most influential and innovative figures on the U.K. reggae scene, producer Adrian Sherwood and his famed On-U Sound label pioneered a distinctive fusion of dub, rock, and dance that made waves not only in roots circles but also in the pop mainstream. Since the mid-'80s, Sherwood is among the most visible producers and remixers in all of contemporary music, working on tracks for artists as varied as Depeche Mode, The Cure, Simply Red, Sinead O'Connor, and Ministry. He became involved in industrial music, producing tracks for Cabaret Voltaire, Skinny Puppy, KMFDM, and Nine Inch Nails, and although On-U Sound continued to reflect its leader's eclectic tastes, the label has remained a top reggae outlet. Sherwood has recently released two solo albums on Peter Gabriel's Real World imprint.
Congo Natty A.K.A. Rebel MC is an English jungle producer and toaster.
The '80s popster turned proto-jungle revolutionary was born Michael West in 1965 in London. He formed "Double Trouble" in the early '80s with Michael Menson and Leigh Guest, releasing the ska-pop hit "Street Tuff." Rebel MC later gained fame in England as a pop/rapper, but by 1991 he had released "Black Meaning Good", an album that presented jungle with hardcore techno married to dub basslines and ragga toasters such as Barrington Levy and P.P. Arnold. His 1992 singles "Rich Ah Getting Richer" and "Humanity" also showed the new direction. "Code Red" -- released as Conquering Lion -- became an outright jungle smash in 1994, bringing the jungle movement to the British masses.
The Amazing story behind the making of "THE LION OF JUDAH HATH PREVAILED"
THE PROCESS and GHETTO PRIEST, RELEASE "THE LION OF JUDAH HATH PREVAILED"
A New seven track EP from Detroit's premier Reggae Rock band and London's Sublime and Enigmatic Vocalist GHETTO PRIEST.
It was three years ago, on a January morning, when the seeds of "The Lion of Judah Hath Prevailed" were sown.
In London, Ghetto Priest, always one to embrace and explore new collaborative possibilities, approached THE PROCESS vocalist and writer David Asher, with an idea to work together.
Considering the exciting proposition, Asher sent Ghetto Priest a video link to "The Footsteps of The Emperor," a British film about Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie, "The Lion of Judah," who, in the 1930s, was exiled to England, where he escaped the forces of fascist Italy who had occupied his country.
Inspired by Selassie's story, Ghetto Priest emailed his "Lion of Judah" vision to Asher. Ghetto Priest saw "The Lion of Judah Hath Prevailed" as a musical tribute to The Ethiopian Emperor's courage and unwavering faith that God's spirit would always prevail over the forces of evil.
Less than two weeks later, Asher received a first "THE LION OF JUDAH" mix from Ghetto Priest, who was inviting Asher to add his own verses to the composition.
With the help of PROCESS bandmates, Garrick Owen, Bill Hefflefinger, Gabe Gonzalez and Seth Payton, Asher and the band made a series of demo tracks with Asher singing all the vocal parts.
Now, with a number of assembled tracks in hand, the group recruited Billboard Charting Producer Gee Pierce to cut a first full version of "THE LION OF JUDAH," which was immediately sent back to London for Ghetto Priest's review.
Joining Ghetto Priest in the ON-U SOUND studio, were guitarist/vocalist SKIP "LITTLE AXE" MCDONALD (formerly of the Original Sugar Hill Records house band) and MIKKI SOUND, who arranged and sang backing vocals.
Pleased with the song's continued evolution, McDonald asked to do the next re-mix himself, re-cutting all the instruments, and adding his inventive interpretation to the song.
Reconvening in Flint Michigan, with Platinum Producer Bernard Terry, and the London sessions vocals, THE PROCESS then mixed it's version of the track.
At the same time celebrated British electronic music producer DAVID HARROW, now based in Los Angeles, remixed a wicked "Dub-step" version of "Lion" for inclusion on the release.
The final pieces of "THE LION OF JUDAH" puzzle came together when Dub producer ADRIAN SHERWOOD brought in bassist GEORGE OBAN, and Junglest CONGO NATTY (A.K.A. REBEL MC) and mixed three alternative "THE LION OF JUDAH" tracks.
Using elements of both THE PROCESS, LITTLE AXE, and CONGO NATTY, SHERWOOD brought another creative perspective to "THE LION OF JUDAH" party, resulting in a Vocal Mix, a Congo Natty "Toast," and a Trippy-Dub version of the tune.
The EP (extended play) also contains a bonus track, "Ghetto Life" from Ghetto Priest's forthcoming "Sacred Ground", his full-length album produced by Adrian Sherwood for On-U SOUND.
So now, let us present: The Process meets Ghetto Priest, Featuring Skip "Little Axe" McDonald, Adrian Sherwood, David Harrow, and Congo Natty ... A statement to all who hear, friend or foe, that Emperor Haile Selassie I Hath Prevailed.
-Dave Hogarty

Welcome to this months quick review of what I have read during July. It was never going to be a busy reading month as July is taken up with several book events and Harrogate Crime Festival from 20th-23rd July, so apart from the train journey up to Harrogate and back again, my reading was limited. Although I had a BRILLIANT time at Harrogate stalking as many authors as possible, on the day I returned home we had to put our beloved family dog Charlie to sleep after he became seriously ill whilst I was away – so obviously my reading mojo has temporarily disappeared and I therefore dedicate this month's round up to my beautiful furbaby who has been an integral part of our family for the past 11 years.
Below is the list of what I have read – some I loved, one I didn't, but you can read the full reviews and see what you think:
- In The Shadows – Tara Lyons – Book 1 in a very impressive police procedural/crime series – read my full review here
- Dark Matter – Blake Crouch – A serious headf*ck book which left me reeling – read my full review here
- No Safe Home – Tara Lyons – Book 2 in this fabulous crime series – read my full review here
- Witch Dust – Marilyn Messik – Another humorous and clever book from a very talented author – read my full review here
- A Stranger in the House – Shari Lapena – A disappointing second book which just didn't do it for me. Read my full review here
- See What I Have Done – Sarah Smith – A brutal account of the Lizzie Borden crime beautifully retold. Read my full review here
- The 50/50 Killer – Steve Mosby – A grisly serial killer makes couples choose who should die – Read my full review here
- Anatomy of a Scandal – Sarah Vaughan – A tense and intelligent character driven thriller. Read my full review here

Meek Mill ft Young Thug We Ball Video Download
Meek Mill and Young Thug collaborated on "We Ball" for the Philly rapper's Wins & Losses album in July and shortly thereafter, a visual was released for the collaboration.
Although it was billed as the video at the time, it wasn't traditional in the sense that no lyrics were rapped at the camera and Thug didn't appear in any new footage. Today a new video has been released which is a little more like what we'd expect.

The first day of the Nomads' Festival was an early one for me. DS Rai said he wanted to leave the office no later than 5:15am. The opening ceremonies started at 8:30 and there were still some preparations to be made, not to mention it is about an hour drive. Luck happened to have this festival fall on the 26th so my early wake up was more enjoyable by a Christmas call from the family back home (though they did have to interrupt Star Trek in HD).
I packed up my camera, put on 5 layers of clothes, and set out into the early morning darkness for the walk to the office. I was a little worried since I was a few minutes behind schedule, but relieved when no one was there when I arrived at 5:08. That relief slowly dwindled away as I saw 5:30 come and go. Then 5:45 came and there was no sign of any one at the office. Just as I was about to call DS Rai a red truck pulled up at 5:52 and the driver told me to come quick. Getting in his car I saw the temperature outside read -14*C (just about 7*F); I had been outside the entire time.
About 15 minutes later I was squeezed in the back of a different truck and heading up to the site with DS Rai, one of his sons, and two of his friends. When we arrived I was completely amazed at everything that had been constructed in the past two weeks! I had just visited 13 days ago and there was nothing! Now fences, stalls, tents, and prayer flags covered the main grounds of Wangchuck Centennial Park. (All of these were made from bamboo or local logs and could be easily removed and recycled after the festival.) I was left to my own devices to wander the area until the opening procession. My eye was caught by the horses and yaks with colored rags braided into their hair and bells around their necks.
Nomads' were first in the processional line, each playing their own instrument in welcoming. Directly behind them was the Chief Guest, the Minister of Agriculture, Dr. Pema Gyamtsho. Members of Parliament, local government officials, Lamas from surrounding monasteries, and other invited guests brought up the rear of the parade.
After many speeches, the Chief Guest cut the opening day ribbon from the stalls and proceeded to greet every group and spend a few minutes inspecting their goods. As he went around I stood on the other side of the flag boundary taking photos. Many reporters called his name and were asking questions. So you understand my amazement when, after snapping his photo and lowering my camera, he looked at me and said, "You must be Kim." DS Rai was directly behind him and his eyes were bigger than mine. The Minister and I shook hands and exchanged some greetings and I'm sure a few other words, but I was to amazed to comprehend them. He said he heard I was here helping his country, in his department, and if there was anything I needed, he should be the first to know. On he went to the next stall and I got a nod of approval from my boss.
Saturday continued with cultural dances, traditional wrestling, khuru tournaments and overall celebration; following posts will elaborate more. I was lucky enough to have DS Rai's sons to help guide me along the way and more will come on them also. Jan and Ute did make it for the day and brought me a Christmas treat of chocolate! The evening was spent with some people I met who worked in the Ministry of Agriculture around a brokhuri sipping ara, water or beer and having song wars. They told stories, jokes, asked me questions and welcomed me into their group. It astonishes me how hospitable and friendly these people all are. My favorite moments of that day were those spent living in the moment with the Bhutanese, feeling completely content and apart of their lives.

A way forward for plone.api
As one of the Munich plone.api sprint participants, and following up to a lively discussion on the plone-developers list that brought in the voices of many dedicated Plone contributors, I want to make a modest proposal.
It is significant that so many of the dedicated contributors to the Plone core and its ecosystem as a whole felt compelled to weigh in to the discussion. Without exception, all the voices in the discussion melded together to form a decidedly constructive chorus. Clearly, a nerve was struck. If you were not in Munich, I can attest to the fact that this topic had the ability to galvanize every single person who participated in the discussions, no matter their level of experience in Plone development.
As so often happens in a lively debate, minds produce copious amounts of ideas. This, of course, is a good thing. It can be bewildering, too. We are lucky that all of these ideas were not just voiced in fleeting verbal conversations, but that we have them, black on white (or whatever colors you use), in our inboxes and list archive. It would certainly be useful to attempt to synthesize all the viewpoints we have heard so far.
My intention, though, is to go back to the start. It seems to me that there was a point in the Munich open space where the discussion definitely lifted off. The lift-off happened when someone admitted to not knowing, or not being able to remember, how to write the code to do something that should be simple, such as copying a content object. Everyone could relate to that frustration. Everyone. No doubt, it wasn't just about "copying an object".
I think we should not confuse the momentum behind plone.api with wanting to create a "great" API. If we let the conversation go in that direction, everyone is going to produce a different wishlist, and there is no way we can make everyone happy. I'm also not completely on board with the idea of solving 20% of the use cases that cause 80% of the problems. That sounds too much like a common denominator approach, that could end up making everybody unhappy.
The momentum originates from the possibility that, someday, with this API I might actually be able to write (and remember) the simple method call required to do a very simple thing. And so, while I'm proud of the sphinx docs we produced, and of our "document first" approach, perhaps to some extent this approach distracts us from where the energy is, and what we are trying to do.
Instead (or in addition) the energy comes from: "I really hate that to do A I have to use this crappy xyz code!"
So, can we start a collection, a little gallery of horrors? Here is a silly example of what I mean. I'm going to paste a code snippet that I hate, and I'm going to explain what I would like to have instead. After that, people can weigh in on what disadvantages my desired "API" would have, or why it would not work, or how it could be solved better.
My example
tal:define="is_manager python:context.portal_membership.checkPermission('Manage portal', context);"

Site Setup
Why this sucks
The problem is not TAL, it's the double indirection to a method that I have to call with what looks like a set of positional arguments in an arbitrary order. Could I please just have a global is_manager that I don't need to define? If I set up my own set of custom permissions, I guess I'll be fine doing the python:context.portal_membership.checkPermission('Do something unusual', context). Plone ships with a set of stock permissions, other than manager, so all of those should be available globally. Actually, it would be nice if a global is_mycustomperm could be generated automatically when a new permission is defined.
Actually, this example contains two horribles in one. What's with the ${context/portal_url}? I can never remember when I can use portal_url and when I can't. Why context? Why would portal_url depend on it? Subsites don't ship with Plone out of the box.
What would be better
Can I have this, please?

Site Setup
Discussion, pros/cons
Is there a performance penalty to having all the permissions computed for the context at request time?
I don't have a strong preference on how this little gallery of horrors should be implemented. Sphinx might work. Google moderator, maybe. [I'm a fan of wikis, I like how in MediaWiki (e.g. wikipedia) there is a separation between the content and the discussion about the content (they are on different tabs), and yet there is no barrier to either editing the content, or adding to the discussion, and full history is preserved (again with no barrier, no context switch).]
It's great that we started writing the documentation for plone.api, and even included examples for each element of it. But somehow divorcing this documentation from the horrors we are trying to fix seems counterproductive.
Of course, the "little gallery of horrors" and the "official" documentation have to be integrated somehow, and this is another problem.
Finally, I think that while it's certainly better to start small than not at all, it should be possible to let plone.api grow over time to cover more than the 20/80 scenario that was proposed.

Finished reading
After a few weeks of reading the same book, I finally finished Britt-Marie Was Here. It typically takes me at least two weeks to finish a decent sized book nowadays. Someday, I would like to graduate from these 250-400 page books to meaty chunksters but I worry that I would be reading said chunkster for months. Britt-Marie Was Here was a fun read, as close to quirky awesomeness as A Man Called Ove and better than My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She's Sorry. Interestingly, this one also had a plethora of philosophical passages, which was a nice touch. As for Saga Vol 6, I wasn't expecting to be able to read it so soon. It was released only last Tuesday and I found that my library got the ebook almost instantly. This is excellent to know because I hope this is true for other comic series volumes too. Saga Vol 6 was just as much fun as the previous volumes (read my review of this series here).
Currently reading
Speaking of chunksters, I am actually reading one at the moment - A Game of Thrones, though we will see for how long. This is my third time starting this book. Yep. The first time, I abandoned after about 20% of the book. (Spoiler: Nothing much had happened in the book by that point.) The second time, I think I read even less - only half that many chapters. This time, I feel a lot more invested - maybe the end of another season of GoT (and a strong one too) has something to do with this. It's going to be another 9(?) months before the TV show comes back and I'm looking to fill it with some GoT fantasy. What I'd really like to do is read another GoT-like series (preferably filled with strong women), so if you have any recommendations, please throw them my way!
In the car, I'm listening to You Are A Badass, after seeing this mentioned on Andi's blog. Yes, self-help again, though truth be told, the chief reason I picked this audiobook was because I was looking for some lifting pep talk. Work is becoming a little too demoralizing lately and I need a little pick-me-up on my drives. The jury is still out on what I think of this one. When I'm not reading A Game of Thrones (one chapter a day), I am thumbing through A Handmaid's Tale. Margaret Atwood is one of the top authors I wish I have already read, so I'm glad to finally get a taste of her writing. I have to say that her books are a little hard to get into though (I had had some trouble with The Blind Assassin in the past), but after about the 20-25% point, I could not put the book down. I had a lot of trouble convincing myself to go to sleep last night.
