I didn't win (I would have written here if I had!) but since I didn't, it means I can post it here!
I'm totally late with posting it, and I could have shared this at a more appropriate time of the year, such as Halloween, but for those of you needing a break from Christmas shenanigans, here is a story about zombies.
Warning: This is not a pleasant story.
Scott was having the time of his life.
He was also dead.
No thoughts, no feelings and no responsibilities dampened his spirit. Scott knew only desire and instinct: desire for flesh, for food, instinct to hunt and conquer. It was like a never-ending stag weekend.
It was the desire that changed things. As Scott lurched down a shadowy alleyway one evening, a busty woman fell to the ground ahead. Scott's gut growled, stomach digesting itself for lack of food. Hungry as he was, his craving for food was squashed by a primal instinct to take the woman as his own. All men had needs—even the dead ones, and his body hadn't yet forgotten the desires of living men. He felt no concern or pity, thought not of her wellbeing or even of his own. Scott staggered towards her.
That was when the humans attacked.A tazer struck Scott and his body convulsed as electricity coursed through him. He fell and the humans quickly restrained his arms and legs. The woman from the alley stepped forward and placed a metal cage over his head. It locked into place and Scott snapped at her, but the steel bars prevented his teeth from reaching their mark.
She gazed at him coldly and barked an order to the soldiers. "Get moving before any others show up."
A soldier brought out a hypodermic and injected its contents into Scott's arm. Scott lost consciousness and was swiftly borne into a waiting van at the end of the alleyway.
When Scott awoke, his head was pounding. Despite the sick feeling in his stomach, Scott was starving. He wanted the biggest, greasiest burger he could find.
The last time he'd felt like this had been on a lad's weekend, aged twenty-one. Scott had been so drunk that most of the trip was a big black hole in his memory. It had been a good weekend. Obviously he'd just had another one. He wasn't sure how many days he'd lost this time.
Then Scott realised: this wasn't his bed, or his room. It was far too clinical.
And he was strapped down.
The door opened and two faces loomed over him: one male, one female.
"You're awake, good." The man smiled, though his wrinkled eyes didn't.
"Where am I?" Scott croaked. He cringed as his vocal chords protested. The words felt alien in his mouth, throat sore from uttering but a few syllables.
The man didn't seem to hear. "You must be hungry," he said. "We shall send in your meal shortly."
"Then we'll start on your rehabilitation." Unlike the man, this woman's eyes smiled when her mouth did, but in a cold, sterile way. She squeezed his arm, her grip surprisingly powerful. "Welcome to your new life. We're glad to have you on board."
"What?" Scott was confused. Why couldn't he remember how he got here?
"All in good time," said the woman.
"But why am I here…?"
Ignoring him, the doctors left the room.
Dinner was some kind of burger, cooked rare and served with chips. Scott ate the burger as a nameless nurse fed it to him, but refused the chips. He was surprised a hospital would even allow its patients burger and chips.
Scott tried to find out why he was there, but the nurse didn't give any indication of having heard him. After he'd eaten, a TV was wheeled into the room and Scott was left alone as images appeared on the screen. Scott watched idly. It seemed to be some kind of zombie film. At first it was pretty engaging, a typical humans vs. zombies, guns blazing, head-bashing guts-o-rama.
But the more he watched, the sicker Scott felt. As the story unfolded, Scott began to realise it wasn't a film: it was a documentary.
He saw himself, skin pallid and eyes rolling as he gorged on the flesh of a man he'd killed only moments ago. Scott's stomach growled hungrily as old cravings rose up, but instantly the craving was overcome by the need to vomit. Scott turned his head to the side and his stomach disgorged its contents, foul-smelling and a horrible shade of meaty pink. The smell nearly made Scott vomit again.
Images still flickered on the TV screen and Scott blearily glanced at them. He saw the humans capture him. Then the screen went black.
Scott felt ill. This had to be some kind of twisted prank. How could he be a zombie? He didn't remember eating anybody! He couldn't remember anything!
Shortly after the documentary finished, a team of men walked in, dressed in blue scrubs. Scott was injected again. Unable to feel his body, he felt as though he was floating. It didn't occur to him to panic. They strapped him into a sturdy wheelchair and wheeled him along white, characterless corridors to a room with a large window. The doctors were waiting.
Scott read the names on their ID tags: Dr. Irvine Wallace and Dr. Maria Carver.
Dr Wallace greeted him with a smile. "You're doing well, Scott. Did you enjoy the film?"
Scott grunted.
"You are, as you suspect, a 'zombie'. A reanimated corpse with a hunger for flesh," Dr. Carver spoke up.
"Zombies aren't real…" Scott replied weakly, though he wasn't convinced anymore.
Carver glanced at her colleague. "We'll tell him the truth," she stated. The older doctor nodded. It was clear to Scott that she was in charge. "Zombies are real, Scott. Originally named The Disposable Corps." She chuckled. Beside her, Dr Wallace smirked.
"The D.C. was the work of Dr Wallace. Beginning five years ago, it was a Government initiative to reduce the number of war casualties by utilising reanimated corpses within our troops. Using the dead to save the living."
"Unfortunately, I made a mistake." Dr Wallace admitted. "We tested our new soldiers too soon."
Scott nodded. He'd seen this in the documentary.
"Members of the DC escaped. We discovered that the chemicals used to reanimate the corpses had mutated into a contagious toxin. Hence, their victims also became zombies."
"It became a problem," Carver spoke up. "The country has been quarantined. We're currently under threat of nuclear action." She looked smug. "But I found the solution."
Scott arched a brow.
"We fight fire with fire," Carver replied. "You are one of our new troops. You'll find you hunger only for the flesh of the dead – like the burger you ate earlier. You're self-aware; you will hunt down and dispatch zombies. A new antibody runs through your veins, so your bite is no longer contagious."
"How do you know it works?"
"I tested it on myself."
Scott stared and Carver rolled her eyes. "Don't look so surprised. I was bitten, I injected the antibody and after I died, I woke up like this. Normal, just undead," she said in a bored tone. "Are you ready to begin your training?"
Scott smiled and nodded, suddenly excited. This sounded like a video game, in real life.
Carver and Wallace exchanged glances. Scott wouldn't be told about the neural implant controlling his desires. It was their little failsafe. They wouldn't have problems like before.
Scott was released from the wheelchair and helped to the window. A city sprawled out below him. He could see zombies in the streets and longed to destroy them.
"Die you b******d!" Scott screamed as he tore the head from a stinking, groaning corpse. This was his second day in the field after three months of intensive battle training, and he loved it. He and his comrades would dispatch the zombies, they would kill them all.
Scott dropped the head to the ground and stamped on it, boots grinding slimy brain matter and fragments of skull into the pavement. He spotted another zombie in the distance and set off after it, grinning madly.
At the science headquarters, Carver and Wallace monitored Scott's movements on CCTV.
The headless corpse fell to the ground, its jacket bearing a logo identical to that worn by Scott: D.C. -Disposable Corps-.
The doctors shared a smile. Their problems would soon be over.
And Scott? Scott was having the time of his death.

Cancelled. 5 players short. XI so far:- Chris Atkin, Jim Davies*, Peter Hollman, James Smith, Jon Webley, Aroon Korgaonkar.
David Jackson @ Fulmer's reply to my mail below. "We did get your message ref Saturdays fixture and you have my absolute understanding. We ourselves have had to cancel several games due to lack of numbers.
Good luck for the remainder of the season and hopefully we will see you again next year.
David Jackson"
Sent to their Fixture Sec 9/8/06 "David
Due to injuries, unavailabilities, holidays & as many issues that seem to conspire against you at times like this, I deeply regret that we are unable to raise more than 6 players for Saturday's match.
Although I would be hopeful had we had 9 or 10 that an extra 1 or 2 could be found, I regret that from this juncture an extra 6 is beyond the pale.
We therefore think it is best for you to have the most time that there is available to you to go through the CCC & pick up up an alternative fixture.
I wish you well for this Saturday & for the rest of the season.
I do hope that this does not put you off reinstating the fixture for next season & I will contact you again in the Autumn re 2007.
Please acknowledge receipt of this mail.

Neighbors in Fond du Lac heard gunshots throughout the city Monday night.
The first calls to police started around 10:30 p.m., stating shots could be heard near the 500 block of 4th Street.
Twenty minutes later, callers said shots could be heard at other locations in the city. Police did find shell casings near the 4th Street location, but did not find any others elsewhere.
No damage has been reported, and no one was injured.
Police do not have any information on a possible suspect, but could be seen collecting evidence.
The investigation remains ongoing, police said.

In a custody and visitation proceeding, the father appeals from an order of the County Family Court which awarded sole custody of the subject children to the mother and only awarded him visitation from Monday at 6 P.M. to Wednesday at 6 P.M. on alternate weeks, with additional visitation upon agreement of the parties.
An award of custody must be based upon the best interests of the child, and there is no prima facie right to the custody of the child in either parent. In considering questions of custody, the court must make every effort to determine what is in the best interest of the child, and what will promote the child's welfare and happiness. The best interests of the child are determined by a review of the totality of the circumstances.
Factors to be considered include the quality of the home environment and parental guidance, the ability of each parent to provide for the child's emotional and intellectual development, and the financial status and ability of each parent to provide for the child. The relative fitness of each parent, as well as the effect an award of custody to one parent might have on the child's relationship with the other parent should be considered. In addition, consideration should be given to any prior award or agreement as to custody. While not determinative, the court should consider the child's expressed preference as an indication of what is in the child's best interest. Additionally, if criminal domestic violence is alleged, the court must consider the effects of such violence upon the child.
Since weighing the factors relevant to any custody determination requires an evaluation of the testimony and the sincerity of the parties involved, such an evaluation is best made by the trial court. Thus, a trial court's determination regarding an award of custody should not be disturbed unless it lacks a sound and substantial basis in the record.
Here, the trial court, after having had the opportunity to evaluate the testimony, consider the recommendations of a forensic expert, interview the children in camera, and consider the position of the attorney for the child, determined that the children's best interests would be served by an order awarding sole custody of the children to the mother and visitation to the father from Monday at 6 P.M. to Wednesday at 6 P.M. on alternate weeks. That determination is supported by the record, and should not be disturbed on appeal.
In this domestic violence prosecution, the defendant stands indicted for, among other things, burglary, assault and criminal contempt involving alleged assaults on his girlfriend at her home in violation of an order of protection.
It is alleged that the complainant has had a change of heart and is refusing to cooperate with the prosecution as a result of over 300 telephone calls placed to her by the defendant from jail. Because of this the People move to introduce the complainant's grand jury testimony on their direct case. A Sirois hearing was held in order to determine whether such an order is warranted.
The Constitution guarantees to every citizen accused of crimes, the right to confront the witnesses against him, which of necessity, includes the right to cross-examination. In fact, cross-examination has been described as the principal means by which the believability of a witness and the truth of his testimony are tested, and that restrictions on the right to cross-examine "can deprive a defendant of an important means of combating inculpatory testimony or at least demonstrating the existence of reasonable doubt as to guilt.
Nevertheless, the law recognizes that when an accused procures the silence of a witness against him, he should not be permitted to gain from his wrong. Thus, if other competent testimony of the witness exists, it may be used to balance the wrongful action of the defendant who forfeits his right by his own conduct.
In this case the defense argues that the recorded conversations contain no threats of harm or efforts at intimidation sufficient to prove defendant's intent to silence the witness. Although that is certainly the tenor of the calls, it is not only outright threats that can demonstrate the intent to stay a witness' cooperation, but persuasion and control by a defendant.
The power, control, domination and coercion exercised in abusive relationships can be expressed in terms of violence certainly, but just as real in repeated calls sounding expressions of love and concern. Orders of Protection are therefore issued by courts as much to prevent assaults on the psyche of a vulnerable victim as to prevent assaults on her person.
The court has been shown, by clear and convincing evidence that the wrongdoing of the defendant has caused the victim to stop cooperating with the prosecution. Thus, in the event she fails to testify at trial, or her trial testimony is contrary to her grand jury testimony, the People shall be permitted to use the grand jury minutes as evidence on their direct case.
The home should be the first place where anyone feels safe and secure. If you feel otherwise because of domestic violence, contact the Kings County Domestic Violence Lawyer together with the Kings County Family Attorney from Stephen Bilkis and Associates. You can also get in touch with the Kings County Criminal Defense Lawyer if you need one.

The last episode in a series of Buffy The Vampire Slayer is always a let down.Big up everybody who came to the Slaughtered Lamb on Friday. I had a wonderful time, thank you, even after the amp blew up and the noises stopped. And last night was fun too. Cibelle was fucking incredible. I got that stuttering belly thing. My little brother DJed an awesome neo folk/dark wave/euoro metal set to a room full of confused/retarded/terrified children and their parents, waiting tragically for tragic Pete Doherty to haul his tragic translucent junky ass down from his 5 star hotel room to entertain their tragic souls. With tragedy. And do you think he did?
No. He is a loser. He can but lose. Actually, the lumpy faced father (FATHER!) just about managed to go up and down in the lifts for twenty five minutes, clutching his guitar with one set of nasty clammy finger pipes, groping in confusion at his fluorescent orange wristband with the other, fat yellow tongue, sticky with goo, bitty and forlorn like a turd rolled in a hoover bag, occasionally venturing from the stinky prison of his mouth to collect some dead skinflakes from its pursed, grim corners. FORSOOTH!
I didn't see him, Nonny did. I was busy doing things, like running up and down stairs with bits of paper and not playing. And getting set upon by Pete Doherty fans. "Pete is an incredible person," beamed one girl beamishly from somewhere inside a set of gunged up braces. "He's so real. My Mum loves him too. He's not some fake rock star. He cares."
"There is no way in hell that wet sack of shit is doing anything tonight, least of all caring," I said. "Perhaps he will do some self mythologising, and crack, in the luxury of his suite. Leave me alone. It has nothing to do with me. I quit."
And if I wasn't being asked by Pete Doherty fans about Pete Doherty and when he was playing, I was being asked by clever people when I was, and the answer to which ("Oneish") turned out to be false, and I never got to play at all, for which I am sorry, especially you who came from Betws Y Coed and you who came from Tipton.
I liked Erol's Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve room the best, that was lovely. It was full of Psych.
Anyway. That is done now. This week I'm finding somewhere to record my album. Then I'll do it. In January I shall play those shows with Pop Will Eat Itself, a Firetrap party, and possibly something at 93 Feet East in London. But mainly it will be album.
OH BY THE WAY. I'm doing a New Year New Shit mixtape, if I get time, so please send me stuff I might like. There's so much dope stuff about! I got the new Undercover today - the CD has some hot shit on it, go pick it up.
Anyway, must dash, sorry, thank you, I love you, goodbye.

Emily Luchetti, pastry chef and lucky author of such books as A Passion for Desserts and A Passion for Ice Cream, is having an ice cream sandwich creation contest. It got me to thinking about the possibilities… all the wild, wonderful, over-the-top possibilities. No wonder she wrote a book about it.
Since I don't really bake, I drew inspiration from my favorite New York and San Francisco cookies and ice cream. The more I thought about it, the harder it became to pick just the right combination. But I think I have some winners. In order from most refined to the most ridiculous, here are my 11 submissions to the contest:
• Il Laboratorio del Gelato lavender gelato sandwiched between two light, airy sugar cookies.
• Ruby & Violette champagne strawberry chocolate chip cookies sandwiching tangerine sorbet.
• Jacques Torres double chocolate chip cookies sandwiching raspberry sorbet.
• Tarallucci e Vino pignolli cookies with vanilla rum gelato and a swirl of caramel.
• Two macadamia and white chocolate chip cookies, sandwiching Grom gianduja ice cream.
• Salted caramel ice cream from Bi-Rite Creamery in between two thin, crisp ginger snaps.
• This Chick Bakes vegan ginger molasses cookies with rum raisin ice cream.
• Bi-Rite Creamery roasted banana ice cream with a spoonful of Nutella, sandwiched between snickerdoodles.
• Chocolate peanut butter chip cookies sandwiching Bi-Rite malted vanilla with peanut brittle and milk chocolate pieces ice cream (hurt me).
• A chocolate chip whopper—either the walnut chocolate chip cookie from Levain or the wheatgerm chocolate chip cookie from Specialty's—with the middle scooped out, an oversized dollop of toasted walnut gelato dropped in, and then the cookie bit placed on top again, like a dainty little chapeau.
• Momofuku compost cookies (pretzels, chips, coffee grinds, toffee bits, chocolate chips) sandwiching Ben & Jerry's triple caramel chunk ice cream, dipped and frozen in chocolate.

One of Australia's most popular gambling destinations, Jupiters Casino, recently posted its most profitable monthly figures since the start of 2010: Echo Entertainment's Chief Executive Larry Mullin said the group's revenues for the first six weeks of the financial year were up more than 12%.
Mr. Mullins described Jupiters Gold Coast as 'firing on all cylinders', and credited the casino's new managing director Frederic Luvisutto with driving an 'aggressive' approach to customer service, and an array of new incentives to woo back Jupiters' 'better customers'.
The Jupiters division, which includes Townsville's Jupiters Casino, delivered EBIT (earnings before interest and tax) of AU$58.5 million, up 58.1 percent on last year thanks to a 10.6 percent lift in revenue to AU$374 million.
But Mr. Mullins said there was still some way to go before Echo Entertainment could commit to building a new hotel at the Broadbeach property, though a confirmation of the 2018 Commonwealth Games coming to Australia – and the Gold Coast – would change the situation for the better;
'We would love to build a hotel up there. If our business grows the way we believe it's going to, we're very bullish that the Gold Coast is more than ready for a second hotel at our property.'
In the meantime, Echo has plans for the Jupiters casino: a redesign of the existing swimming pool area and an expansion of the Jupiters Theatre that will renovate the venue and double its capacity to 2000.
'We are actively speaking to major international entertainers that want to come and play at the entertainment centre,' says Mullin. Away from the Gold Coast, Echo is in the final stages of a AU$900 million refurbishment of Star City Casino, Sydney – a project that has come in 'on time and on budget.'

Mind Writer by Steve Cole
I had read Steve Cole's Senseless and liked his writing style that much I searched for other titles by the same author, impressed he had written 3 new Young Bond novels among titles in his collection and came across this one. Cole's stories are fast-paced, interesting and have characters I can identify with.
In Mind Writer, Luke Mellows is a school kid with a difference, he can read minds but his power scares him. He can't understand why his mother loves that he gets good grades and impresses her all the time with his keen intellect. Luke thinks he is the only one with this gift, but that is until he meets Samira.
When he is in a class, Luke can listen for the answers to the questions his teacher will ask, though more recently Luke has all kinds of thoughts coming from the minds of his classmates flooding his head. All it takes is bully, Dan Stenton, to threaten him for Samira to help him out. Luke thinks at first she is doing him a favour. Her power is different however as she can rewrite a person's mind making them do exactly what she wants. Now that he knows Samira is a mind
writer, he feels even more uneasy as she wants him to fuse his power with hers.
I thought at first this would be a straightforward story of two people in conflict, one good the other bad. Samira won't leave him alone, transferring her thoughts and demands into other people to threaten him, even a teacher isn't safe against her mind control. Samira even threatens him using his mother, leaving him no choice but to obey her. What happens next is strange as Samira demands he come with her to a care home where an old man lies in a bed, only he isn't any old man. I won't give anything away as it is too good to spoil. I don't mind saying that I enjoyed the story as much as I did Senseless. Mind Writer starts fast, takes us into an adventure and ends in a quick conclusion that I hope would lead into a possible sequel.

First thing I noticed in the Istanbul, Turkey airport was all the white kids! I forget we stick out after just a few short weeks abroad. It's just who we are, so the absence of those who look like us doesn't register until I am transplanted back to a place where the hair color extends beyond black and the skin tones lighten.
Second was tha I felt like I was in a high end shopping mall, not an airport. There were shops and ambience.

A Caistor Grammar School sixth-former has all the tools he needs to earn top marks in his A-level exams next summer after successfully completing a nationally-recognised business course.
Will Chico (17) resisted the urge to put his study books away over the six-week break from school, choosing instead to enrol onto a three-day project management course in Leeds.
The teenager, known by his schoolmates for his active lifestyle that has seen him run eight marathons within the last three years, is thought to be the youngest person ever to pass the PRINCE2 (Projects in Controlled Environments) course in the UK.
Will said: "I ran in the Rome Marathon with my dad in April, but shortly afterwards, I broke my ankle playing football and then went down with glandular fever.
"This meant that I couldn't do any sort of fitness exercises for four months, so I had a lot more time to do work that was more academic.
"My dad raised the idea of doing the PRINCE2 course with me and we both came to the conclusion that my summer would just be wasted in only recovering from injury and illness."
The PRINCE2 course, established by the Government in 1989, is normally taken by business leaders and managers from industry who want to improve how they organise, plan and delegate projects where they work.
Will said: "I stayed in Leeds for three days to do the foundation course where I learned about what a project manager does within his or her role, delegation and control.
"It's the most popular course in project management in the UK and it will give me a very steady grounding in how to carry out a project.
"I was probably the youngest person on the course by at least ten years and most of the other delegates definitely thought it was strange to see someone who hadn't been sent by a company."
Now the challenge for Will is to use the skills he learned to tackle his A-level studies with exams on the horizon next summer.
Will added: "In terms of revision and study techniques, I can apply it to my A-Levels.
"But it also helps me if I keep learning new things."
Dan Chico, Will's dad, said: "Caistor Grammar School has really embraced what Will is doing and they have put all of his achievements up on the noticeboard because it's a school that's known for its achievers."

It wasn't until I saw the swimming pool sized pit of garbage burning in front of me—the twisting of the plastic bags, the slow curling and melding of the styrofoam containers, the square tupperware boxes that seemed to shrink away to nothingness as the flames engulfed them—that it truly hit me.
This garbage was being burned as a way of disposal. Garbage I had contributed to.
This is my fourth burning season here in Pai, Thailand, and it only seems to get worse each year the more I learn about it.
It is easy for the Westerner to come along on one's high horse and cry outrage at this monstrosity—(these people are burning their garbage! Why don't they have a garbage truck come pick it up? Where are their recycling systems?)—that's certainly what I did the first year I learned that this happens.
In fact in my naivety, it was not until speaking with my brother who works in the waste management industry in BC, that I learned that burning as a means of waste disposal happens not only in less developed countries but is also common in rural northern communities in many Canadian provinces who's government waste management resources are limited. I was shocked to to learn that burning garbage happens in my native country which I considered so "clean and green."
Slash and burn techniques are a global phenomenom.
Nonetheless, as a foreigner who has lived in South East Asia for significant amounts of time, I would like to bring light to the particular situation in Northern Thailand and address some of the economic, cultural and social influences at play.
For most of the year, Pai, a small valley town in the Northern Thai mountains a few hours out of the larger city of Chiang Mai, is a beautiful, peaceful place. The air is fresh, mornings are cool and misty, and as the sun rises the fog melts away in minutes (depending on the season). Lazy, meandering rivers snake through the rolling farmland which covers much of the land, and the content, easy-going town is surrounded by lush green mountains with many a waterfalls tucked away for the adventure-seeking explorer to find.
It's the town that I fell in love with 8 years ago and haven't been able to leave.
However, every year between February and April burning season occurs in Northern Thailand and some of the neighbouring regions. Farmers set fire to the previous year's crops as the most cost effective way of managing their agricultural waste to clear the ground for next year. Tree lines are also set alight as a way to clear space.
Unsurprisingly, air pollution from this practice creates widespread health problems. The most common health occurrences in the North include, but are not limited to, cancer of the trachea, bronchi and lungs—all of which health professionals suspect could be linked to annual and prolonged smog exposure.
Chiang Mai Air reported the pm2.5 air pollution levels this year to be 14% higher than last year.
*UPDATE – Today AQ levels in Pai have reached a record high of 401.
Though slash and burn techniques have been occurring for centuries largely due to it being the most cost effective, easy way to manage human produced and agricultural waste, from my last decade living in Thailand I am in agreeance with this article published in the Huffington Post, that burning as a means of waste disposal appears to largely to be a socially and culturally accepted practice and cannot be attributed solely to economic influences.
During a trip to the Lod Caves located just outside of Thailand's Mae Hong Son Province, the driver of our vehicle made a few jokes about the multiple forest fires we encountered along the way.
"I don't have a lighter, but I wish I did so I could burn this part down," he said as he pointed at a lush section of forest. "It is very good for hunting pigs if there is no forest and I want to help my friends."
Hearing this comment made me realize this issue is far more extreme than any government regulation can ever control. It's a cultural belief; something that I don't feel comfortable criticizing. What I can say, however, is that I believe something needs to be done. Although trees play a crucial role in human civilization, I wonder if most of mankind is aware of the damage that has been done over the years.
Burning happens frequently on smaller scales throughout Northern Thailand at all times of the year as well. Households commonly dispose of their everyday garbage by setting it alight. Many Thai operated guesthouses, restaurants and other tourist related centres—who in contrast to the farmer with limited financial resources have a sustained way of earning income—also use burning as the most "convenient" method of garbage disposal.
Smoke: A Crisis in Northern Thailand
This being said, as awareness of the issue increases each year, there have been an increasing amount of demonstrations and protests by the Thai community about organized regulation on air quality control in the country.
Three Kings Monument, Thailand 2016
Three Kings Monument, Thailand 2016
*UPDATE – This Friday's Right to Breath gathering in Chiang Mai has been cancelled as the organizer has been threatened with bodily harm, even after the event was cancelled.
The issue is complex and worthy of further examination, but one of the biggest things we can do about it is spread awareness and produce less garbage.
We can consciously refuse single use items—plastic bags, straws, take away containers—and practice seeing all things from a circular mindset, how the items we use can continue to live and provide purpose.
It is not only about responsible ecotourism, but responsible ecoliving. Being mindful of our impact on the earth regardless of where we find ourselves on it.
Though I like to think that I'm someone who produces less waste than the average person, passing by that swimming pool sized burning pit of garbage that day—the acrid smell of suffocating, black smoke rising up in the air so thick I felt the nausea in pummelling punches in every part of my body—was a stark reminder that we can always do better.
We are but guests on this planet, and it is up to each and every one of us to do our part.

University of Rhode Island Undergraduate Commencement exercises will be held on Sunday, May 20, 2018.
If the weather is fair, the main ceremony will begin promptly at 12:30 PM with an academic procession of faculty and
degree candidates onto the University Quadrangle and will continue there with a formal program. See below for rain plan information.
Immediately following the Quadrangle ceremony, individual colleges will hold additional exercises at locations listed on the back of this sheet.
Please note, however, that although graduates of the College of Engineering, College of Pharmacy, College of Health Sciences,
College of Environmental and Life Sciences, and the Feinstein College of Education and Professional Studies participate in the
main ceremonies at 12:30 PM on Sunday the 20th, their special ceremonies will be held before the main commencement
ceremony on either Sunday the 20th or Saturday the 19th at the designated locations. All graduates, families, and friends are welcome
to attend all ceremonies on the Quadrangle.
Information about commencement is available through an automated commencement hotline at 401-874-1234
and the University's Commencement website at www.uri.edu/commencement
Candidates for undergraduate degrees should assemble wearing cap and gown along Lower College Road in front of the Memorial Union
at 12:00 Noon. Street clothing should be suitable for this special occasion. The gown should be worn closed in front.
The cap should be worn flat or cocked slightly forward. The inside of the crown of the cap usually has a mark indicating which
point is the front of the cap. That point should face forward when the cap is worn.
The tassel should be worn over the left front edge of the cap.
Candidates should assemble into four, single-file lines, A, B, C, D, as indicated on the diagram below.
The lines are sub-divided into sections according to college and degree program so that candidates from each of the colleges
can process onto the Quadrangle and be seated in groups. Note that:
Just before the procession begins, the faculty marshals from each college will take up positions in the lines at the front
of each group of degree candidates. The marshals know where each group is to sit as well as the correct route onto the Quadrangle.
They are responsible for leading the groups onto the Quadrangle and they, with the help of ushers, will see to it that you
are seated in the correct section. The procession begins at 12:30 PM sharp. As the procession begins note the person
in front of you in line, then follow that person during the procession until you are seated.
Once seated on the Quadrangle, you can follow the ceremonies with a Commencement Program. P
rograms are available at the information kiosk near the Memorial Union. Please carry it with you to your seat.
At the appropriate time, each group of candidates will be asked to rise as a group. Remain standing while the President
confers the degree en masse to your group. After the degree is conferred, you will be asked to be seated once again.
At the end of the main ceremony, the President and other officials from the main platform will recess down the center aisle,
followed by the faculty. All Arts and Sciences Faculty and Arts and Sciences Undergraduate Candidates should remain in their seats.
All other undergraduate degree candidates should follow your college marshal during the recessional, leave the Quadrangle,
and proceed directly to the areas assigned to each college (listed below) for college ceremonies. At these locations, representatives
of the individual colleges will distribute programs and give further instructions to their candidates before their ceremonies begin.
Please note that the College of Engineering, College of Pharmacy, and the Feinstein College of Education and Professional Studies will
hold their special ceremonies in the morning (i.e., before the main commencement ceremony) and the College of Health Sciences and
College of Environmental and Life Sciences will hold their ceremony on May 19th (Saturday afternoon/evening) at the location indicated below.
Arts and Sciences - University Quadrangle, immediately following Main Ceremony (Rain site: Ryan Center)

Center at the North Lobby and organize in the Loading Dock and Service Hallway corridor. Candidates processing in Line C should
enter the Ryan Center at the South Lobby and organize in the Home Team Hallway corridor. Candidates processing in Line D should
enter the Ryan Center at either the South Lobby of the Ryan Center or the main entrance of Tootell and organize in the Tootell West Gymnasium.
In the event of inclement weather, the decision to move the main ceremony to the Ryan Center will be made the morning of Commencement, Sunday, May 21st.
Updates will be posted on the commencement website, the commencement hotline (401.874.1234) and on the University of Rhode Island emergency notification system called "URI emergencyALERT".
Limited tickets are available for the ceremony at the Ryan Center. Each graduating student can receive two (2) rain tickets for the ceremony.
Rain tickets will be available starting April 14th. Rain tickets can be picked up at the Ryan Center or printed via your online student
ticketing account at TheRyanCenter.com (select the "tickets" tab, then the "student tickets" tab).
The college ceremony for the College of Arts and Sciences will take place immediately following the main ceremony, in the Ryan Center.
All other college ceremonies will remain at designated venues.
State law prohibits the consumption in public of alcoholic beverages on state property.
The University is required to enforce this regulation during Commencement exercises.
We appreciate your cooperation.

Slime, mystery rocks and 'fizzy' fossils to be part of the fun at KU Carnival of Chemistry
Kids will have the chance to play with slime, make their own chalk and experiment with "fizzy" fossilized sea urchins at this weekend's 22nd annual Carnival of Chemistry at the University of Kansas.
Once again hosted by the KU Chemistry Club, this year's event is slated for 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday at KU's Malott Hall, 1251 Wescoe Hall Drive. Admission and parking are free, and guests are asked to enter from the north side of the building, home to KU's chemistry department.
Roderick Black, director of laboratories for the department, expects a healthy turnout Sunday. Typically, he said, the carnival attracts anywhere from 300 to 1,000 kids and their families.
"One of the things we want to do is show the fun side of chemistry and also the wide diversity of chemistry — something that gets people outside of the textbooks or what they might read on a static Wikipedia page, and actually do some hands-on stuff," Black said.
This year's carnival is once again geared toward kindergartners through eighth-graders, but science enthusiasts of all ages are likely to appreciate the playful approach to learning scattered in chemistry classrooms around Malott Hall, Black said.
Visitors Sunday will have the chance to have their mysterious rocks and minerals identified by a KU geologist, a new addition this year. Other activities include light and color exhibits, molecular models, fun with gemstones, face painting and the ever-popular DIY slime.
"Kids like the idea that they're watching something change from a runny, gooey thing that's kind of fun to this pasty slime, which youngsters invariably like," Black said.
Nonscientists can pick up the necessary ingredients — polyvinyl alcohol and borax — at any hardware store around town, Black said.
This Sunday's Carnival of Chemistry will likely be the last hosted in Malott Hall, as the chemistry department is expected to move into its new home — the still-under-construction $117 million Integrated Science Building — in time for the fall 2018 semester.
Black wants the carnival's Malott Hall run to "end on a great note," with the hope that the new 270,000-square-foot ISB will allow organizers to stage even cooler activities for years to come.
The event is 100 percent volunteer-run, Black said.
"Honestly, there aren't too many things that I'm involved with that give me this much energy and this much positive interaction," Black said, adding, "I'm impressed with the number of people who approached me this year and said, 'Can I participate?'"
Anyone who's ever taken a chemistry class either loves the subject or loathes it, depending on their experience. Black said he truly believes there's a lot of "fun" within chemistry and other sciences. He sees it every year at the carnival.
"The kids are already on board. They come anticipating seeing something really cool," Black said. "That's my experience — people wish that they could stay past 4 p.m. when we start closing the doors of the chemistry classrooms and start cleaning up."

When lying in bed at night, have you ever heard a weird noise — a creaking floorboard or the rustling of a piece of paper? Has food ever mysteriously disappeared? While it very well could have been a ghost, it could have just as easily been a ninja-cat hiding in the nooks and crannies of your home!
Some ninja-cats are more skilled than others, living in apartments and stealing food completely undetected by the owners. Others, however, are not so stealthy and occasionally get caught on camera. Observe!

Dudley DeBosier is the home of the No Fee Guarantee®, which means:
- There is no charge for your first visit or telephone call. All your questions will be answered and there is no obligation.
- We never charge a fee unless we obtain a recovery for you. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery.
- We will advance all costs for investigators, experts, filing fees, and other expenses associated with obtaining the maximum recovery possible.
- If a recovery is not made, you pay nothing.
- We do not charge any fee for helping you settle your claim for damage to your vehicle.
Yes. At your initial consultation, one of our personal injury attorneys will meet with you. Throughout the remainder of your claim, you will work with a lawyer and a legal assistant from our law firm.
If you can't come to us, we'll come to you. That means, if your injuries prevent you from traveling to one of our offices, a lawyer from Dudley DeBosier will meet with you at your home, the hospital, or any meeting place you choose.
You can contact Dudley DeBosier 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Because client communication is a priority for our legal team, we have intake professionals standing by to take your call at any time. If appropriate, an intake professional can even contact a firm attorney on your behalf after hours. When you need us, we're available to discuss your claim.
Not necessarily. If the insurance company for the defendant—the party we believe is at fault—offers a fair settlement, we can accept the offer, and you will not have to file a lawsuit to obtain compensation. Our New Orleans personal injury attorneys are skilled at negotiating settlements without filing lawsuits.
If the defendant's insurance company will not agree to a fair settlement, we'll file a lawsuit on your behalf, and you may have to go to court.
Generally, if you are a competent adult, who is older than age 18, and who is injured, you can file a personal injury claim. Minors or incompetent adults must have a lawsuit brought by either their parents or court-appointed guardians.
If you need help filing a legal claim, Dudley DeBosier is here for you. Call (866) 897-8495 or complete a free initial consultation form.
Without first investigating the details of your case, it's hard to know how much money you may be owed. If our Louisiana injury attorneys handle your case, we will determine how much money we believe your case is worth and ask the insurance company to compensate you for that amount.
Generally, we will consider:
– how the accident happened,
– what injuries you suffered,
– your medical expenses,
– your potential future resulting medical problems,
– your lost income,
– and any potential future medical costs and lost income.
In many cases, we're able to negotiate with the insurance company out of court and reach a settlement. If not, we'll file a lawsuit on your behalf, and the value of your claim will be determined by a judge and jury.
We want you to feel comfortable and confident in your choice to hire an attorney. That means you have the right to change lawyers.
Should you choose to change lawyers, your initial injury attorney will typically be entitled to payment for services rendered up to the time of dismissal. The lawyer will be paid from the fee earned at the conclusion of the case. Your new lawyer may make an arrangement with your old lawyer so the fee is split between the two lawyers.
Yes. Different lawyers may see a potential case differently. Some attorneys may not be familiar with the type of case you have, so if a lawyer rejects your case, it's always a good idea to seek a second opinion.
Don't take no for an answer—Demand Dudley DeBosier.
Remember, the insurance adjuster works for the insurance company. Adjusters have one goal: to settle your case for the least amount of money possible. What may seem like a fair offer may not be.
Talk to the legal team at Dudley DeBosier before accepting any offer from the insurance company. We're here to protect your best interests and get you every dollar you truly deserve.
Yes. We have years of experience handling various types of claims in addition to personal injury and death claims. We represent individuals and businesses that have suffered economic losses as a result of trade violations, breaches of contract, and other improper and illegal activities.

Google Toolbar incompatible with Chrome
Web browsers have been an integral part of any online business. Many web browsers came out with the advent of new technologies being developed. As of today famous browsers such as Mozilla Fire Fox, Internet Explorer, Opera, Google Chrome, Safari among others have constantly been locked in battle against each other, mostly a battle about what browser is the best. It is because of this band wagon on the creation and development of web browsers that the search engine giant Google has developed their own web browser called Google Chrome. Google chrome is the search engine company's answer to the growing number of web browsers that are out in the market. Chrome displays a whole new look and interface that is of course Google centered or so it seems. It has been found out in recent tests that Google's own toolbar that integrates well with internet explorer and Mozilla firefox is unable to be installed in Google Chrome. This is ironic as the program that was created by Google itself to augment the web browsers' toolbar according to the specifications of Google is not able to be installed in their very own web browser. Upon installing the toolbar 5 of Google into Google Chrome the error message: " We're sorry but the Google toolbar 5 is only available for Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer". Although there is a little need for the Google toolbar when you are using Google Chrome due to some interfaces were already incorporated, this incompatibility however sends the wrong signal to Google users and even first-time Google users.

Usually, one play doesn't define an entire game.
Wondergoal sees Foothills knock off Sounders
Usually, one play doesn't define an entire game.
Ali Musse's wondergoal for Calgary Foothills FC on Sunday evening, though, was an exception.
In the 82nd minute of a game against the Seattle Sounders U23 team that had been deadlocked at 0-0 and seemed sure to end in a scoreless draw, Musse collected the ball around 50 yards from his opponent's goal.
The Sounders, understandably, left Musse with some space. He wasn't in a dangerous area, after all.
Three touches later, though, a speeding Musse wound up and fired a hard, low shot at goal from 35 yards out. From that distance, the shot had to be perfect, and it's hard to imagine a better strike than the one Musse delivered to hand his Foothills team a lead they would never relinquish.
Put plainly, it was perfect, and his coach was still struggling to find the words to describe the goal 24 hours later.
"That's gotta be one of the most spectacular shots I've ever witnessed, both as a player and as a (coach)," said Foothills FC head coach Tommy Wheeldon Jr. "It defined the outcome of the game, at least."
Not only did Musse's little piece of magic define the game's outcome, it also served notice to the rest of the PDL's teams that the Calgary crew has unearthed a serious striking threat.
Musse, from Winnipeg, was a regular on the Canadian national under-17 scene and would join the Vancouver Whitecaps residency program in 2013 before heading south to study and play with the University of Texas at Tyler.
He joined Foothills for the 2017 season, and Wheeldon sounds confident that Musse will be getting a chance at playing professionally soon.
"He's that reason why you've got to keep persisting with these 17- to 23-year-olds, a bit like the WHL does in hockey," Wheeldon said. "The PDL does that, but it's for the best collegiate players who want to pursue a career as a student athlete.
"He'll be ready when (the Canadian Premier League) comes knocking next year."
Musse's goal also came as a relief to the Foothills crew, who had dropped a disappointing match to the TSS FC Rovers on Friday night after a couple of defensive lapses.
The team will be working extensively on the defensive side of their game over the next couple weeks of training – they have a bye week this weekend – but the 1-0 win over the Sounders meant they came home from a busy weekend of travel with some ultra-valuable points.
As a result, the Calgarians now sit atop the PDL's Northwest Division with a 3-1-0 record as they prepare for back-to-back games against the Victoria Highlanders in B.C. on June 2 and June 4.
"When you go on the road, it's important that you bring points home with you," Wheeldon said. "We know Seattle Sounders will be (in contention) or thereabouts, so to take three points from them at their home is immense."

A true French classic that is wonderfully satisfying to make at home.

Last season, probably around the midway point, I declared that the Jags were my favorite AFC team. They were young and exciting. True, they made a lot of mistakes as well.
Now, in 2016, Blake Bortles is a year older, they added a true banger in the backfield in Chris Ivory, and they retained the pass-catching group that was so dynamic in 2015. This is one of the bes receiving corps in the NFL. Allen Robinson, Allen Hurns, Julius Thomas and Rashad Greene will make it hard to zero in on any one guy. This is going to be fun again.
The Core
Blake Bortles (QB) - 4200 yards, 32 TDs, 15 INTs - 250 yards, 2 TDs.
Bortles had a breakout fantasy season in 2015 with over 4400 yards and 35 TDs. He was a junk time hero. This season, the Jags have upgraded their defense and running game. This should mean that Bortles will regress in passing production. At least the Jags hope so. He is currently being drafted at 71, which is a little too high for my liking. He is a great start up dynasty pick, however. He's only getting better, oddly enough, that might mean a worse fantasy season.
Allen Robinson (WR) - 80 catches, 1400 yards, 10 TDs.
One of the nice things about being in keeper/dynasty leagues is that if you take a flyer on a guy, and he hits, you have that value for a good, long time. That's the case with Robinson. I have him everywhere I have a keeper situation because I had him on every single team last season. Robinson is a stud, plain and simple. You have to draft him in the second, and he won't disappoint.
Allen Hurns (WR) - 70 catches, 1000 yards, 6 TDs.
Hurns had a breakout 2015. This is now his third year, and conventional wisdom says this is supposed to be his big leap year. I, on the other hand, believe that this will be a regression year. Hurns is going at pick 73, which is too rich for my blood. I seem to have a bias against WR2s on a team, but Bortles regression will be seen most with Hurns.
Julius Thomas (TE) - 60 catches, 600 yards, 6 TD.
Thomas had an injury-plagued 2015. The same can also be said for most of his career. Thomas is one of those physical freaks at the tight end position. If he can stay healthy, he's going to get some targets, especially around the red zone. He doesn't take much of an investment at pick 97 and could be a TE1 for you all season. I prefer him in the streaming class but wouldn't argue with someone having him as their only TE.
Rashad Greene (WR).
Greene didn't have a very impactful rookie season. You can expect the Jags to try to get the ball to Greene similar to how the Pats have been able to get the ball to Wes Welker and Julian Edelman. That's a leap in production, but don't be surprised if Greene has great catch numbers this season.
Allen Hurns (WR).
I spelled out the reasons that Hurns could potentially struggle this season. The offense will be better, which will take away from Hurns. If he falls, take him as your WR4 or WR3 in a deep format.
The Jags are going to be fun to watch, here they come.

I'm sorry, friends, but the alliteration? It continues.
First, I should tell you that I'm not actually "reading" The Psychopath Test: A Journey Through the Madness Industry by Jon Ronson. I'm listening to the audio book from Tantor Audio read by the author. I grew accustomed to Ronson's voice from his frequent contributions to the radio program, This American Life, and thought he would be a good choice for my first audio book experiment. Ronson is Welsh by birth, and I enjoy his accent. But even a pleasant accent and interesting subject can't make up for being stuck in my car two long hours each day.
The book primarily speaks to a test administered by health professionals and law enforcement personnel to identify psychopaths. Wikipedia tells us:
"Psychopathy is a mental disorder characterized primarily by a lack of empathy and remorse, shallow emotions, egocentricity, and deceptiveness."
Right around the point when I started worrying that I had plenty of psychopathic tendencies myself, Ronson assured me that the act of worrying that I might be a psychopath proved, in fact, that I wasn't a psychopath. Okay, then.
It's a good book, but I feel like it jumps around a bit. I'm not sure if that's because I can't focus on the audio-book format the way I would with a book, or if Ronson just has a sort of hodge-podge writing style. I haven't read any of his other books (or even seen The Men Who Stare at Goats), so I can't compare this one to his other works. His NPR stories are shorter and, therefore, more focused. Some of those stories were pulled from this novel. I've recognized at least two excerpts thus far.
I appreciate Ronson's self-deprecating manner. He's not afraid to make himself (or his shortcomings) part of the story. He doesn't seem to come to any conclusions, but the human mind is endlessly fascinating and perhaps, most interesting when it's a bit insane. No one has all the answers, but Ronson has done a good job of illuminating some of the questions.
If you're the curious sort and enjoy non-fiction, I think you would like this book. It's not for everyone, but I'm a fan.

Farmers urged to provide feedback on ACCC's proposed quad bike regulations
27 March 2018
Farmers have until May 4 to have their say on proposed changes to quad bike safety regulation.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has released a consultation paper outlining a number of different regulatory options to improve the safety of quad bike operation.
Options include some or all of the following elements: applying a mandatory safety standard to quad bikes and side-by-side vehicles (SSVs) – akin to a 'safety star' rating; additional warnings on vehicles highlighting rider risks; the requirement to fit operator protection devices and mandatory performance tests for mechanical suspension, stability and dynamic handling.
The ACCC believes the adoption of all recommendations in the consultation paper, is likely to prevent the most deaths and injuries from quad bike incidents.
NFF President Fiona Simson said quad bikes remained the leading cause of death on Australian farms and welcomed the ACCC's commitment to improving this.
"Quad bikes are a staple piece of equipment for most farming operations.
"But, as we've seen, time and time again, if not operated correctly and in line with operation and safety guidelines, tragedy can result.
"Since January 1, 2011, 114 people have died in quad bike-related incidents.
"Too often we're seeing children riding quad bikes and passengers and in appropriate loads being carried – which place quad bikes a great risk of roll-over."
Ms Simson said the NFF believed rider education, regulation and manufacturer changes were the keys to saving lives from quad bike incidents.
"For some time, the NFF has advocated for a star safety rating system to be applied to quad bikes, so farmers and other consumers can make informed buying decisions.
"So far, there has been little enthusiasm from manufacturers. It's pleasing to see the ACCC view such an approach as having merit."
The ACCC's regulations cannot extend to operator behavior such as the imposition of a ban on children from operating adult quad bikes and SSVs and mandating the use of personal protection equipment, such as helmets, for operators and passengers of quad bikes and SSVs.
However the Commission has encouraged the consideration of such 'complementary regulatory measures' by other jurisdictions and agencies.
Farmers are urged make a submission in response to the ACCC's the proposed options to improve the safety of quad bikes by Friday May 4.

Is there any cycling fan who hasn't heard the name Peter Sagan? We reckon not.
Despite not being a rider pursuing General Classification (GC) results, he is arguably one of the most popular and surely the most successful individuals who is sitting on a saddle, pedalling for several 100 kilometres a day.
He has just turned 23, but is quite often compared with the greatest cyclist of all times 'The Cannibal', a.k.a. Eddy Merckx. Sagan did not hesitate to comment: "I do not want to be the second Eddy Merckx. I want to be the first Peter Sagan." This is actually what we would expect from the Tourminator!
Let's have a look at some basic info and try to get to know Peter.
|Full Name
|Peter Sagan
|26 January 1990
|Žilina, Slovakia
|184 cm (6'0″)*
|75 kg (165 lbs)
|The Terminator, The Tourminator, Rambo
People get often confused when they attempt to pronunce Peter Sagan. Here is a native Slovak speaker pronuncing his full name. (Clicking on the play icon would do the trick.)

Showing what beer should be
A Review of Batch 69 by Frankenmuth Brewery
Posted on 6/29/2011 by
Brew's Your Daddy
How many times have I stated before that I am not much of a ''hophead''? My guess is a lot. But just to make sure I'm clear, I...am...not...a...hophead. Got it? Ok. Now that I've made my point, I would also like to say that I LOVE a good IPA. Confused? You shouldn't be. I realize that to some I may have just made a contradictory statement, but to others I have expressed a feeling that many of you will agree with. Many of today's beer makers have decided that not just Imperial IPAs, but even regular IPAs should be so hoppy and bitter that when you taste it, you feel as though your face will turn inside out. That fact alone is what makes me thankful for breweries like Frankenmuth. They don't feel the need to blow you away with beer bells and whistles. They just seem to make a good quality brew that is always inline with whatever the style dictates. Their Batch 69 American IPA is a perfect example of their no nonsense style.
When I poured it into a glass, I was caught by its nice cloudy honey appearance. It's definitely unfiltered. There's a nice thick head that hangs around for quite some time. I found myself actually admiring this one for a moment. After you pull yourself away from its visual appeal, you find out that its more than just a nice glass of eye candy. When you get your nose in there, this one really begins to shine. Right off you are met with a nice orange citrus smell that climbs over everything else. After you get past that, you can pick up on some nice florals, along with some sweet malt notes in there. Light pine scents come through, and even wheat and caramel can be found in very faint areas. Ladies and gentlemen, this is what an IPA SHOULD smell like.
When you get to take that first sip, you are again pleased. The taste follows almost exactly how the bouquet presents itself. You get a nice orange taste right off. It comes with a bit of a piney hop bite, but not to the point of shocking. Its followed by some subdued floral and other slight citrus notes, and then you get just enough of a sweet malty flavor to balance everything out on the way down. The carbonation is what most would consider a bit high for an IPA, but really its just about perfect. There's enough of it to keep things moving, but not enough to cause a distraction from the good flavors. I get just a bit of a sticky sensation in my mouth from it, but surprisingly, the finish is very dry. I am not used to this type of finish, but I admit that I do like it.
I really enjoyed the Batch 69 from Frankenmuth. I think that they really have a high quality American IPA here. The aromas are great and not overpowering. The flavors are distinct and refreshing. Honestly, what more can you ask for in an IPA? I really have no problem recommending it to any camp. While most beginners might find it a bit strong, this is a great beer to get your hands on for the learning experience. If for nothing else, you can see what a quality American IPA is. The veterans can take my word for it when I say that this one doesn't disappoint. It won't overpower you with nonsense. It will bring you back to what good quality beer is supposed to be. Good. Quality. Beer. While other breweries have forgotten this simple concept, it seems as though Frankenmuth has mastered it. For that, I think we all owe them a tip of the cap. Good job guys! Cheers!

Strength is that call you make right after your favorite uncle's death to tell everyone he is gone.
Strength is holding your breath when you knew your dad has stage 2 cancer.
You keep assuring people you are strong, but they keep saying that's just what you want to think.
They haven't seen you, they haven't seen how you see him everyday after he broke your heart and you are acting just fine.
They define strength with sharpness. They see strength as a heartless, cold person who doesn't give a sh** about the world. But strength for you is different!
Its falling in love but staying half conscious to save yourself when needed.
Strength and confidence are best fits or so I think. Sometimes it comes in the form of sitting alone having dinner all by yourself in a community that would think you are crazy if you did. And sometimes it comes in the form of handling death starting with that phone call you make to tell everyone it happened.
What is strength for you?

As part of my blog I (MM) believe it's important to share common and similar experiences. I'd like to introduce you to Jenna (JK) who talks about the positive impact running has in her life.
MM: Why do you run and why do you continue to do it?
JK: I started running when I was little. Ever since I can remember, I tagged along with Dad on his runs. It was our "thing." Even though I couldn't quite keep up a lot of the time (especially when I was really young), I never gave up. It was hard at first, and I sometimes didn't enjoy it. I'd want to stop, and Dad would want to keep going. He was my motivator, and I quickly loved the challenge and routine of running.
Running was and is a way to explore. We would run even while on vacation or in a new…
