On Valentine's Day, I was in my apartment perusing Spotify for some hot and heavy mood music when the algorithm ― perhaps knowing me better than myself ― recommended a 2007 song called "16 Words" by Margo Guryan.
I was hankering for a love song, but what I got was an unsettling and carnivalesque something else. The chorus ― and the rest of the lyrics, actually ― revolve around 16 notable words from President George W. Bush's 2003 State of the Union address: "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein has recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." (Many Bush opponents believe the proclamation was inaccurate and was employed to persuade the country to go to war with Iraq. Happy Valentine's Day!)
Guryan sings the phrase over and over again to a marching-band-like beat, interweaved with snippets of Bush's voice. The song is not quite the romantic banger I had anticipated, but it intrigued me nonetheless. So I clicked on the artist's name. Aside from "16 Words," she had one album to her name: "Take a Picture," made in 1968.
A psychedelic burst of drums kicks off the opening track, "Sunday Morning," melting into a groovy haze of pure, slothful bliss. "Sunday morning, sun shining on your eyes," Guryan sings. "Sleepy face. Smiling into mine. Lots of time with nothing to do. Lots of time to spend with you. On Sunday morning." It is sedate and syrupy, best enjoyed with lids half opened and covers pulled overhead. Unlike the Velvet Underground's "Sunday Morning," a lullaby laced with anxiety and dread, she sings of a morning that extends unbothered and uninterrupted into the afternoon and evening. Like in the Commodores' "Easy," Monday seems worlds away.
The rest of the album is similarly airy and intoxicating, filled with complex melodies masquerading as fizzy ear candy. Its vibe is often compared to the Beach Boys' — a major influence. After listening to the whole thing twice, I was desperate to know more about the woman who created it, who had seemingly disappeared from the music scene entirely, save for the one strange political anthem made four decades later.
Now 80 years old, Guryan lives in Los Angeles. Shortly after launching her first and only album, I learned, she was seemingly scrubbed from the music scene by her American label, Bell Records. Why? She refused to participate in TV appearances or go on tour to publicize the music. "You got owned by these people," she told The Boston Phoenix in 2001. (She confirmed the quote for HuffPost.) "I guess I had about enough 'daddy' when I was 5, and I just didn't like being told what to do."
The president of Bell Records put a swift end to all promotion and radio play for the album after that.
"I saw my record in the 39-cent bin in [a] New York record store," she wrote as part of a freewheeling email exchange. She did not want to talk on the phone, so we communicated via email, back and forth, for about a month.
When I first contacted her, I expected to hear about a female musician bottlenecked out of the industry for refusing to play the game on men's terms. But Guryan, who said she doesn't call herself a feminist because she's "not a 'joiner,'" insisted that, in her opinion, the music industry's toxicity had nothing to do with gender.
"It wasn't a sexist thing," she said. "Musicians, men or women, were treated poorly by the 'straight' people that surrounded them." Her first husband, jazz musician Bob Brookmeyer, was a prime example of someone trodden over by agents, managers and the rest, she said.
Guryan is a woman who refuses to be defined on any terms but her own. In the 1960s, she sacrificed her burgeoning career to keep her autonomy intact, refusing to live at the behest of music industry bigwigs. Today she rejects the idea that her decision to leave it all behind was an act of feminist defiance. Clearly, she does not want her story looped in with the many tales of women's curtailed careers being reconsidered amid the ongoing Me Too reckoning. This is her story to tell.
Guryan was born in 1937 in New York City's Far Rockaway in Queens and grew up with the typical trappings of small-town America. "I was a Girl Scout. I hated it," she said. Raised by pianists, she began playing at 6 years old. She developed an early fascination with words, thanks to a family pact to replace greeting cards with original poems for every holiday.
Her love of jazz and classical piano burgeoned, and while studying both at Boston University, she was approached by Boston nightclub owner George Wein to record under his label. Before signing a contract, her parents suggested she look for opportunities in New York City too. Her mother and father ended up accompanying her on an audition at Atlantic Records — an experience she described as "embarrassing." But it made clear her future; she'd be leaving her college classmates behind for a life in show business.
"They grew up and married each other. I took another path," she said.
Her first demo session with Atlantic ended in disaster. "They told me to sing louder, and the louder I sang, the worse it got," she told me. The major problem was a vocal break midway through her range. The studio tried bringing in other singers, but few could master Guryan's deceptively tricky chord and time changes.
Eventually David Rosner, her publisher — and second husband, with whom she lived until his death last year — had an idea. "He said, 'Let's try doubling her voice,'" she recalled, referring to the technique of double tracking, in which a musician sings along with her own voice to smooth out inconsistencies. The technique worked, entwining her fine and breathy voice with itself to create a more substantial, floating sound.
The titular "Take a Picture" cut ― released in 1968 under Bell ― provides a sonic snapshot of the late '60s, a calcified dip into early, psychedelic pop. But it also taps into a very 2018 desire to document the good times for when things turn inevitably sour. "Sunny days, happy times," she sings. "Take a picture so we can remember / The way it feels to love each other / Just in case of cloudy days to come."
Though Guryan's breezy sound evokes visions of sun-bleached afternoons spent making daisy chains, her lyrics often describe the disillusionment that follows such moments of blissed-out sunshine. "Meeting you / Holding hands / Making love / No demands," a song called "Thoughts" begins, just before things turn rancid. "Playing games / Lying too / Growing bored (ho-hum) / And leaving you."
She slips fluidly between recounting love and pain in the same wispy tenor, paving the way for musicians like Lana Del Rey who find the beauty in sadness while reveling in both. (When I asked Guryan her opinion of Del Rey, she responded, "I don't know who that is, so I have no thoughts," in classic Mariah Carey style.)
Del Rey is not the only contemporary singer-songwriter to slip past Guryan's radar. Guryan said she's not especially a fan of today's music scene. ("I don't like rap and I don't like crap," she blithely summarized.) She is, however, fond of a few modern-day songwriters; she mentioned Wyatt Funderburk and alluded to others whose names escaped her. "I'm not good with names, and you wouldn't know them anyhow."
Although she hasn't released new music aside from "16 Words," Guryan received an unexpected bump in her music career after "Take a Picture" was rereleased in Japan in 2000 on the label Trattoria. Siesta Records in Spain and Franklin Castle in the United States followed suit. "When I heard the album, it was like discovering a secret 'Pet Sounds,'" Franklin Castle founder Linus of Hollywood told The Los Angeles Times.
Guryan isn't writing much music nowadays. She cites lack of inspiration as one contributing factor. I asked if ― given that her last song was an anti-Bush anthem ― she has considered writing about our current commander in chief. She has not.
"I hope I couldn't think of anything dumb enough to write about the 'Trump era,'" she said, blatantly unimpressed with my wording of the question.
Today, Guryan has a cult following and crystallized spot in the history of psychedelic pop. Rolling Stone put her album at No. 29 on its "40 Greatest One-Album Wonders" list, describing it as bridging "the gap between Burt Bacharach and Belle & Sebastian." She described her music's recent resurgence as "a wonderful surprise," adding, "I'm grateful to all."
I was surprised when she denied that systemic sexism contributed to the arc of her musical career. I was ready for her to explain her abrupt exit from the music scene as a result of the toxic work conditions often endemic to male-dominated fields. "It wasn't much of an issue," she reiterated. The only time she recalled womanhood affecting her work was when she told a union representative she wasn't like "all the other girls," because she had a college degree and could read and write music.
This isn't to say that Guryan's career was immune to the kinds of systemic sexism that has affected others. (In all likelihood, it wasn't.) She was simply more concerned with making a separate point clear: She chose to leave the industry. She wasn't pushed out or forced to quit; she decided to say goodbye.
She doesn't need to retroactively adjust her experience to fit the neat and tidy mold I took her. It's not her responsibility to package her life story to fit anyone's wants or needs but her own. She's telling it the same way she managed her career: just as she wants to.
When I asked if she harbors any regrets about an enduring metier that could have been, Guryan responded firmly and simply, "No."

As we age and possibly go through multiple pregnancies, our skin and body change. This all takes a significant toll on our skin. When your skin begins to look like it has dimples, depressions in the flesh, or lumps, that is known as cellulite. Cellulite is an embarrassing yet very common aesthetic problem for many of our patients, mostly women. It is most common on the thighs and buttocks, but it can be found on the breasts, lower abdomen and upper arms too. Cellulite in the thighs and buttocks can be unsightly and can cause embarrassment, especially during the summer when patients want to wear bikinis or shorts. Your heredity, skin thickness, gender, age and how much fat and where it's located on your body are all factors involved in whether you may get cellulite or not. Dr. Theocharides offers ThermiSmooth® Body for a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment to tighten loose skin and reduce cellulite on the chest, legs, arms, abdomen and more.
ThermiSmooth® Body: What To Expect
ThermiSmooth® Body targets the area under the skin and is used to temporarily reduce the appearance of cellulite. ThermiSmooth® Body will also tighten and firm loose, sagging skin. ThermiSmooth® Body is performed using a handheld device that is applied directly to the skin's surface. It is gently moved in a sweeping or circular fashion while gradually heating up the skin surface. This electrode uses controlled radiofrequency energy that targets areas under the skin to reduce the visibility of cellulite. As the targeted skin with the cellulite rises in temperature, the radiofrequency energy adjusts for precision heating. The targeted skin area is treated for about 5 to 7 minutes to reduce the appearance of cellulite. Our patients will undergo a series of these treatments over a 6 to 8 week period.* The number of treatments you receive will be determined based upon your personal cosmetic goals and body type.
ThermiSmooth® Body is a gentle heat-based therapy that requires no anesthesia. Most patients say that treatment feels like a gentle warm massage. ThermiSmooth® Body is a non-invasive procedure so it requires little to no downtime and patients can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. The full results won't become apparent for at least three to six months.
Who Qualifies for ThermiSmooth® Body?
Even the most healthy women can have cellulite. You can feel healthy and be physically fit but have annoying cellulite and loose skin. ThermiSmooth® Body might be the right solution. We will need to know your full medical history and any healthy issues that you might be dealing with. If you are pregnant or suffer from serious medical conditions, you may need to wait on receiving treatment. It's also important to note that you should have realistic expectations about what ThermiSmooth® Body can do. Results may vary from patient to patient because everyone's skin is slightly different.
Schedule An Appointment
Dr. Theocharides will thoroughly examine the areas to be treated, discuss your medical history and cosmetic goals during your initial consultation. At this time, he will recommend the number of ThermiSmooth® Body sessions necessary to achieve your desired result as well as associated costs for your treatment.
To learn more about ThermiSmooth® Body and how it can help you reduce cellulite or create firmer, smoother skin, contact Beginning's Aesthetic & Wellness.

TRADITIONAL CRAFTED BOARDS DATING BACK TO ORIGINS FROM THE HAWAIIANS AND FRENCH POLYNESIANS, WOODEN BOARDS MADE A RESURGANCE INTO THE SURFING INDUSTRY IN THE MID 2000's. ALBEIT NOT QUITE LIKE THIS.
It was somewhere around 2009 when I was first introduced to Paulownia wooden boards by my good friend Chad Waldron. He'd been filming and working on some projects with some of the Central Coasts best waterman, Heydon Bunting and Kerry Down's. They were shaping some really cool traditional template Alaia's inspired by Tom Wegner. These boards were shaped using Paulownia, a wood that has an amazing strength to weight ratio and also offers a little flex. It's extremely buoyant which makes it ideal for surfing, it glides perfectly across the wave face and is ridiculously fast as it cuts through the water.
Kerry brought one of his boards into Todd Quigley's QCD factory to see about getting one done as a Bodyboard template with all the features they'd used on the Alaia's, round rails, narrow and a little concave. The boards were still around 46"+ so they were difficult to ride although it gave you a completely new feel for prone riding. You draw different lines to that of your foam board, using the waves' speed and energy to control your surfing. It's difficult in the beginning but you appreciate the style of surfing so much more.
Once that first board was done, the guys were pretty stoked on it, more so as a novelty project than anything that could be created into something more like what we use in foam design.
Chad had then got his hands on some blanks and over the next couple of weeks he was working on a personal film project and shaping his own boards. He'd asked me to help him with the fine details of curve development, shaping and sanding so we got to work on it at his North Avoca home. Chad was producing his board as an Alaia fish and also a square tail board which was really cool to ride and experiment with.
Throughout the whole process I thought that we could actually cross process the traditional designs and the rail angles of today's modern Bodyboard, thin the boards down significantly to create more flex and with adjusted rails we could make a board that was crazy fast and could still turn and manoeuver like a foam board. A lot of people were convinced that it wouldn't work, it would be near impossible to float or turn with the angles I'd talked about.
I started shaping my Paulownia Project in late 2009 after sourcing the best quality wood in Australia. I built an open-plan shaping bay at my place on the beach at North Avoca which our landlord was amped to see taking shape as he was an old surfer himself. He was stoked to see some traditionalism (so-to-speak) taking place in his backyard. It's one thing to try and explain your vision and conceptual design to people but I find the best way to show them is just do it, get in and get it done, focus only on what your attempting to achieve and your results will speak for themselves.
The boards I shaped during the Summer were narrower then your normal foam board, it doesn't need to be as wide as you're creating the same surface area for width when your planning on the wave face, once you paddle into the wave Paulownia lifts and glides, glides extremely quick. I created a rail angle that was hybrid of a Bodyboard and Surfboard, rounding the top rail into a perfectly cut 45º bottom rail which is what allows the rail to cut deep into the wave, creating hold as my Paulownia boards are flat bottom, no channels and no concave. The rail is what does all the work and the synergy created between the measurements of the board, the curve and rails is phenomenal. When you transition from rail to rail the board actually generates speed through each transition, making it drive in and out of turns.
The first sessions we had on the boards were in fun to average Summer conditions on the beach breaks around home. From the very first surf I knew I'd made something to be super proud of, something in all my years in board design and surfing that I hadn't felt before. It felt great. Michael Novy was one of the first pro guys to ride the boards and we had a concept of taking it out Crackneck and Indies as the principles were right in generating a lot of speed and getting deep. It also helped that our legendary mate and world renown surf photographer, Luke Shadbolt wanted to shoot a feature of the board for Le Boogie Magazine.
We had a swell pop up in January 2010 that looked pretty ideal for getting some shots on the boards with great conditions with all the local boys, Heydon, Nick Rushton, Mike Wells and a few others trading waves out Indies before Novy jumped on board.
This seemingly fun swell quickly turned from fun 3ft to solid 8ft in what felt like maybe an hour. Shit went next level real quick and Novy managed to stroke into a bomb with the first sets before Nick eventually lost the board on a solid one, sending it directly into the rocks with 8ft bombs detonating her into several pieces. A sacrifice well worth it when we were able to check Shadbolt's photos when we got back to shore.
The image of Novy went on to become a cover shot which to this day is one of my all time favourite images, and on a board that most people thought would never work. It's funny how sometimes you just have to believe in what you're doing, regardless of what anyone says or thinks. That's progress I guess.
I started shaping them for a lot of the top pro guys in Australia and very limited numbers for general orders, guys that rode for other companies were pumped on them although not documented due to their contracts. To this day though I've never seen anyone surf better then Thomas Robinson at the Noosa points on one I produced for him. The footage is floating around somewhere, not sure who has it or maybe it's been lost. I may never know or see it again.
I placed my Paulownia Project on hold for a few years due to my commitments to foam and international travel as we were developing a new facility and production lines. I had all intentions of returning back to the program when the time was right and this year I'm doing just that.

I was accompanying my wife to the ATM inside a hypermart the other day, when a smartly dressed lanky bloke who looked like junkie crossed with that Somalia pirate in 'Captain Phillips' approached me with an oversized writing board. On the board, was a sheet of paper full of signatures. Beaming a fake smile, the guy said to me:
"Good evening brother! Support the environment by signing your name here!" – and showed me that aforementioned paper full of signatures….
Now, I don't know about you guys but, how the fuck do I save the environment by signing my name on a sheet of fucking paper?? Must be some kind of magic that I haven't heard of. In fact, wouldn't I be making the environment worse by using paper for those signatures?? Of course I know that the skinny shit stain was there to peddle some stupid product or scheme that latches around the concept of being green (WWF sticker book or some shit like that), and would probably chuck the sheet (or sheets) of signatures at the end of the day into a waste paper basket. Whatever the fuck he was doing there, environment was definitely not the motivation.
But the whole point of it is not about me giving a shit about what he wanted, but the concern of seeing so many gullible fucking stupid idiots that caved to that poser salesman's horrible attempt to fake charms for a moment's worth of attention… and actually went on to believe that they'd make a fucking difference by leaving a signature on that sheet of paper there. It shudders me to think that these are the bunch of morons cum idiots that I had to content with in this society and some of their lives are actually intersecting with mine at some point in time. This kinda reminded me of a video about some scientists introducing a pack of wolves at the Yellowstone national park that changed the whole food chain, which also changed the condition of the landscape into a more complete ecosystem, except that these bunch of idiots are tilting the effect at pretty much the opposite direction, and we're gonna all fucking spiral into a black hole of sohainess (eg. we do not know if one of the signatures could belong to that teacher that is teaching at school… which in turn churn more idiots like her or those Earth Hour fucks and so on…). It's not a very reassuring picture.
I stared at the guy with an annoyed look long enough for him to stop talking, and deftly flagged him off with a gesture that can only be interpreted as a 'polite fuck off'. And fuck off he did with no repeated attempt to reengage the unpleasant situation.

'Tactical Reviews' is the home of Subwoofer's Reviews. Previously my reviews were 100% forum based, and you might recognise me from CandlePower Forums, Taschenlampen Forum, Fonarevka, British Blades, EDC Forums, Edge Matters, Bladeforums, Real Outdoors Forum, Spyderco Forums, Bushcraft UK Watchuseek, Watch Freeks, Bike Forums, Bike Radar and The Hunting Life amongst many others.
I do not have a military or police background, so why 'TACTICAL REVIEWS'? Well, although 'Tactical' equipment is typically associated with military and Law Enforcement applications, its design principles should not be; think 'Practical Tactical'. (Though not in the military or police forces, I am a volunteer member of two Emergency Service charities, SERV 'The Blood Runners' and 4×4 Response)
Tactical gear is designed to carry out its intended task and carry it out reliably, and this is what I am looking for when reviewing a light/tool/knife/bag etc. It is especially important to understand the context of where and how the product is intended to be used and the function it is designed for.
– planning or maneuvering to accomplish a purpose
As an outdoor enthusiast, I've been using lights, edged tools, EDC gear, archery, hunting, shooting and fishing equipment for over 34 years. Here are a few early influences you might recognise.
My brother was the first to see this growing passion and I've not looked back since his generous gift of a Victorinox penknife to start me on my way. (I still use that same knife today)
Alongside this passion has been the love of photography, science and technology, so I aim to provide well illustrated, detailed and informative reviews with experimental results and user feedback.
With a Master's Degree in Engineering I have a technical background and knowledge of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering as well as material science.
No review is posted without a minimum of two weeks living with the subject of the review 24/7 to really get a feel for it.
ALL the photographs and test results are 100% original work and do not include republished manufacturer figures or another tester's work. This is GUARANTEED with all reviews published on Tactical Reviews. (NOTE: As well as producing all photographs, videos and test results, I also write all the content, design the site, carry out all the website configuration and customisation, as well as maintaining and hosting the site.)

Hello –
There are a lot of ideas about how to obtain and achieve success. I believe that first of all Success is a personal determining achievement. And the first step in achieving Success in any way is to first determine what you want to succeed in. Relationships, business, a certain amount of money, social recognition, a projects success….
The first most important facilitating agent to achieving success is yes, determining what you want to succeed in – because one of the most important instruments for achieving success is to be specific. Specificity is key to achieving success in any avenue.
When you are specific and know what you want – then you can focus on how best to get it and you become mentally focused, emotionally targeted and creativity attuned to pro-actively making it happen. Your chances increase hundred fold to getting that and making it happen.
There is a little saying: Energy flows where Thought goes. This is the bases for the Law of Attraction. I like to say: Energy flows where Thought goes, then Life Grows. This principle identifies the basic manifesting point of anything, especially success or failure. The difference between getting what you want and not. If this principle is accurate, which it is, then the more specific and clear you are on your thoughts and ideas about what you want – the more concentrated and focused the energy will be toward the thing you want.
The dictionary has a definition for focus that I like: adjustment for distinct vision; also : the area that may be seen distinctly or resolved into a clear image… More can be found – https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/focus
Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Daniel Goleman, Richard St. John… and so many others write and talk about the importance of Focus and Success.
There are other things that are related to focus, like – what to focus on, how to focus and the fuel behind the focus: the thing, Your Why, knowing what you don't want while focusing on what you want. These we will talk about in our next post Success Strategy #2.
For now know that to be focused is important and start by knowing what you want to focus on Specifically.
Until next time remember – ENERGY FLOWS WHERE THOUGHT GOES AND LIFE GROWS

Pastor Throws Out Pregnant Wife 87 Days After Weddingago
It took just 87 days for a city pastor to disavow his marriage and send his pregnant wife packing.
Apostle Kenneth Kiarie, 30, of God's Covenant Holiness Church in Mihang'o, Kayole in Nairobi, told The Nairobian that he hurriedly married Marion Wagitu, 23, "because being a pastor, I needed a wife officially married in church."
The two fell in love when Marion attended his church in June last year and the pastor saw in Marion a 'humble rural girl.'
Two months later, Kiarie visited her parents in Murang'a to ask for her hand in marriage. By December, the pastor had requested for a wedding. It was granted and they were wedded in April this year.
Pastor Kiarie is said to have borrowed money to finance their wedding which has now left him in debt.
But now, the pastor is being accused of throwing out his newly wedded wife for what are suspected as plans to marry another woman.
Even before the honeymoon was over, their marriage hit the rocks sometime in July, with both parties pointing accusing fingers at each other.
"He used to tell me that if I left, I would not get a husband, and that he had scores of beautiful girls hanging around him," says Marion, who has since been allegedly thrown out of the marital home and is now back at her Murang'a village.
Marion says he married Kiarie because he is a pastor, but their marriage has been a bumpy one, with Kiarie allegedly blaming her for the declining congregation numbers and tithe amounts in his church, because of her odd behaviours in and out of the church.
"He blames me over a Sh70,000 debt he incurred to fund the wedding. He claimed I threw hot tea and stove at him and attempted to beat him in front of his parents," says Marion, adding that the man of God often left her with Sh5 for cooking oil on grounds that she was a villager.
Kiarie swore in the name of God that the accusations were false. He instead accuses Marion of destroying their marriage through her weird behaviour, offensive words, attempt to assault him in front of friends and blood relations and accusing him of infidelity.
"Actually, that was the third time I chased her and it has now been successful. She wanted to control me but that is not African. I said we rather separate than have one of us dead," he explains.

You already know my name, and I still have to say that although I have graduated from an IT school, I am interested in a whole range of other activities than just sitting at the computer.
My life career started in České Budějovice. After a primary school with extended mathematics lessons, I continued on a four-year grammar school, still in my hometown. Thanks to my interest in studying at university, I discovered Brno. I graduated from the first degree of university education at the Faculty of Information Technology. Then I decided to continue at two schools simultaneously, at the same faculty and at the Faculty of Business, to get some information from the world of economics as well. I have finished university education there.
My work career had slowly begun at the time of grammar school when I occasionally dealt with a creation of websites. During my studies at university, I continued to work in this field through part-time work. Shortly after graduating from school, I started to work as a researcher at the Transport Research Centre. I participated in developing web applications, processing and analysing data from traffic surveys, I worked on transport modelling projects and managed several smaller projects. Currently, I am leading the Traffic behaviour analyses and transport modelling department. If I ever look for another job in the future, I would be interested in transport modelling, web application development, web security, network security, project management, and management of a smaller team.
My hobbies include summer and winter sports, just the ones that are individual. In summer, it is mainly mountain trips, hiking, recreational cycling up to 70 km a day, tennis, roller skating, via ferrata, climbing on artificial walls and more. In winter, it is mainly recreational cross-country skiing up to 30 km a day, downhill skiing, ice skating on a pond and relaxing at home. Besides, I like to take pictures, even if not professionally, but just for fun. In the evening, I like to spend time with friends with any board games.
Would you like to tell me something, do you have any questions or are you interested in working together? Do not hesitate to contact me, preferably through this form.

Moscow, day two....
Sunday, April 13, 2014
Oh, look...its me....
This is Sonia, one of the lovely girls talking to ladies about my deisgns and selling my patterns and buttons here at the show.
This is Julia who has been kindly picking me up each morning and escorting me safely to the Quilt Festival in Moscow.
Julia takes me on the metro each morning, we change trains at one of the oldest stations in the centre of the city. These wonderful brass statues line the walkways, this one shows a man with his dog, can you see how shiny the dogs nose is?? Everyone touches the dogs nose to bring them luck (of course I did too).
Julia has limited English so I am not sure why everyone stroke the rooster but he seems very popular as he is so shiny...maybe he brings money!
After the metro ride we walk a little distance and I love this cute little house perched on top of another building! The mural on the wall behind sets the scene so nicely.
There are lots of lovely quilts here on display that have been made by groups of children, the quality of work is good and its so nice to see that young people are wanting to be creative and for this we have to aplaud the patient teachers who are guiding them. This quilt is my favourite.
This one has a Japanese feel to it.
Here I am with grandma, mum and daughter standing in front of a quilt that they helped to coordinate.
These two lovely young ladies have made blocks for one of the quilts on display, the bag I am looking at was made by the young lady in the centre.
More of the childrens quilt entries, the Olympic one is also one of my favourites.
Here I am with one of the lovely teachers standing proudly in front of one of the quilts, this one is all of clothing some I think are traditional, I really like the blocks with the warm footwear, very creative.
Can you see the buttons that have been stitched to form a collar on this dress, brilliant idea.
Time for dinner, we went to a wonderful famous resturant called Pushkin. These rolls/pastries are filled with various things, mushroom, fish, lamb, cabbage etc. I chose the mushroom one and it was delicious.
I chose beef stroganof for my main but this fish dish was so decorative I had to take a photo...pastry back for the boat and fish front complete with sail, the mashed potato was piped on one side to look like ocean waves! Apparently it tasted as good as it looked.
back with more later

Hello, readers!
I'd like to share with you what I received for my wedding anniversary present. As my wife Elle and I have been married for six years, the traditional anniversary gift is sugar. So Elle got me a subscription to Candy Japan. She knows I'm a lover of all things Japanese!
This subscription gets me care packages of Japanese confectionery that isn't sold here in the UK. Although I'm not due to get regular packages until August, I received the first package early as a goodwill gesture.
The green box was my favourite item of these three. Takenoko no Sato comprises little tree shaped biscuits dipped in chocolate. Perfect as a snack with coffee!
The white circular candies are called Fueramune. They're lemon flavoured hard sweets with a thin hole in the middle that creates a surprisingly loud whistle when you blow.
The most unusual item was a chocolate banana variety of Hora Dekita!
This was a 'kit' consisting of hard foam banana candies, chocolate sauce and sprinkles. I have to admit I didn't really like the bananas, but I loved how unusual this idea was 🙂 My wife and I had fun trying it out.
Overall, I'm happy with this first package. This is the perfect present for someone who likes Japanese confectionery. I'm looking forward to what I receive in August 😊
Thanks for reading, folks!

PNW Dungenuss Crab Cake
Crab cakes have a bit of a bad wrap and I see why. Most places serve frozen, breaded kind of fishy smelling, almost pureed crab cake mixtures. However, a crab cake that utilizes super fresh lump crab meat – either blue crab from the east coast of dungenuss crab on the west coast – becomes a revelation!
I source my dungenuss crab here on the west coast from a small family owned fishery that drives over here to Bend a few times a month. It makes all of the difference in the world with this recipe. I also know not everyone is able to get literally fresh off the boat crab and then have the time to pick through it because takes a LONG time! Do try to pay attention to where you buy it from and the lump meat really is the best!
Keep in mind when making these that you want to sparingly add in the binding ingredients. Fold it all together until it barely holds it shape. You aren't making a hockey puck, you are making a crab cake :).
I serve mine with a simple remoulade sauce. Just adds that extra little something.
Crab Cake Recipe
- 1 pound crabmeat, picked free of shells
- 1/2 cup crushed crackers (recommended: Ritz)
- 1 green onions (green and white parts), finely chopped/minced
- 1/2 cup minced red bell pepper
- 2-3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt or a few pinches of kosher salt
- Dash cayenne pepper
- Flour, for dusting
- 1/2 cup peanut oil
- In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients, except for the flour and peanut oil. Shape into patties and dust with flour. They dont have to be perfect and I can get about 4-6 crab cakes from the mixture. I dont like tiny crab cakes.
- Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. When oil is hot, carefully place crab cakes, in batches, in pan and fry until browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip crab cakes and fry on other side until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Serve warm with the remoulade sauce.
What a delicious meal we had tonight. I added the broccoli and red pepper flakes,. It was just wonderful and enjoyed by my husband as well. Thanks for sharing such a great recipe!!

Firstly, PLEASE VOTE.
Secondly, while this is an apolitical blog, I would like to say that the development agenda that has been consistently the idea behind this blog and the idea that we have discussed through various posts is most aligned with the vision of Dr. Shashi Tharoor.
This is not a recommendation nor an indictment of the Left or the Right or the Center, just my view of a man and his vision. In an election where all parties and their agglomerations look far less than ideal to vote for, my advice is to vote for the best candidate. If you decide to vote not for Palestine or the Mandir or according to your denomination, vote for the development of our city - which is a critical need not just for us but for future generations when the other issues have long been buried.
And while you enjoy yet another day off this week, after you have cast your vote of course, please take some time out to read through the latest edition of the TDF Newsletter. It makes for some interesting reading, especially the main article on Vizhinjam, which packs some interesting revelations that most of the mainstream media chose to ignore.

- Details
- Written by California Association of Orthodontists California Association of Orthodontists
Getting on social media isn't the only way older people are keeping up with the younger generation — doctors are reporting a recent rise in the number of older patients looking into cosmetic procedures, many of them in their 90s.
Dr. Joshua Zuckerman, a board-certified plastic surgeon practicing in Manhattan, reasons that the stigma for plastic surgery is fading fast. Combined with an increase in less invasive procedures, both surgical and nonsurgical treatments are becoming more common with older men and women.
Zuckerman says that wrinkles, sunspots, and loose, flabby skin are often the biggest complaints for older patients, but it's not uncommon to perform facelifts, eyelid lifts, facial fat transfer, breast lifts, tummy tucks, and thigh lifts on them, too.
Cosmetic surgery is often traditionally associated with major procedures like these; however, the rise in popularity of noninvasive procedures — such as braces, dental implants, chemical peels, laser resurfacing, and injectable fillers such as Botox or Xeomin — have made aesthetic improvements even more accessible and affordable to anyone that wishes to take advantage of them.
Cosmetic procedures may be more in demand than ever before with over-60s, but there is a lack of information about the effects, risk, and results for older generations that take the plunge.
So, we spoke to the experts and asked them to break everything down for us.
How Risky is It?
The risk really depends on the procedure that you choose. Body-altering surgeries, such as facelifts or tummy tucks, require anesthesia, which is riskier for older patients, who are more likely to have heart problems, high blood pressure, or diabetes.
"Age is also an independent risk factor for forming a clot during surgery," says Zuckerman, "so patients over 50 must get proper preoperative medical clearance from their primary-care doctor and/or cardiologist."
Extreme measures don't have to be taken to alter appearance, though. Braces are a relatively low-risk way to bring change to a face or even mitigate health concerns, such as sleep apnea or jaw pain caused by temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ).
Dr. Robert Sunstein, San Diego-based orthodontist and member of the California Association of Orthodontists, says that "there is no increased risk in getting braces later in life and, at most, the procedures can be tiring."
One of his patients, an 84-year-old, opted to go home for a nap before returning and finishing the bracket adjustment.
What Does Age Mean for Recovery?
As with any healing, as the body ages, the process becomes slower. Recuperation from anesthetic can also take longer, but it's not all bad news.
New York-based cosmetic surgeon Dr. Philip J. Miller says that "surprisingly, recovery from procedures is as varied across the board as one sees in the sub-65-year-old population. There are those who recuperate very quickly and those who take a little longer, both in terms of the incision healing, bruising, swelling, and recuperation from anesthesia."
So, while extra caution must be taken, recovery time is a very individual process. Surgeon Dr. Manish Shah does note that his older patients tend to have a much higher pain tolerance, however.
Is it Effective for Older Patients?
Younger patients have the benefit of higher levels of collagen and elastin in their skin, meaning that their results will last longer, but Shah does say that older patients can, in some instances, have equivalent results to younger generations with procedures such as tummy tucks or breast lifts.
Results, he notes, can vary for patients of different ages and sizes.
Sunstein states that, in comparison to surgical procedures, braces are known to be effective at any age.
The key to achieving a well-aligned smile with braces or dental implants, such as veneers, is having healthy teeth and gums as a foundation for any orthodontic work. Regular visits to a dentist, an effective oral-care routine, and consistent follow-ups with an orthodontist will ensure that every patient's treatment is a success.
Should I Do It?
Age has no impact on wanting to look as good as you feel, and luckily, there are now so many options out there that offer results for all comfort levels.
Whether you're ready to go full force into liposuction and a tummy tuck or would prefer to start small with fillers or a chemical peel, you can find a procedure that's right for you.
Once all of the risks have been assessed against the benefits, there is no reason that anyone over 60 can't have a positive experience with cosmetic surgery, should they want it.
The California Association of Orthodontists is a chapter of the American Association of Orthodontists. It represents more than 18,000 orthodontist members throughout the United States, Canada, and abroad. For more information, go to www.caortho.org.

Mental health covers a wide range of information. It is defined in many ways and rouses many reactions in people.
For centuries the conditions classified today as conditions determining mental health held stigma that went as deep that it was often called demon possession. Families hid the crazy child in the attic or shipped him or her to far off places to avoid the shame associated with abnormality.
Even today, people fear being labeled by a mental health condition. People suffer in silence and try to hide their problems from friends, family, and co-workers. Misinformation and myths surround diseases of the brain and people with no personal experience of mental illness live in fear of people who are ill or they make jokes about the symptoms that further alienate people from the mainstream of life.
About 100 years ago, Sigmund Freud began our modern quest to understand the abnormalities of the brain and mental illness by studying the people so afflicted and finding ways to heal many of them who would have otherwise been pushed aside by society.
Psychology and Psychiatry today look at the whole gamut of causes and possible cures because mental illness is now recognized as not just a failing of the character or strength of mind, but as a tangible physical illness with causes related to everything from imbalanced chemicals in the blood to physical damage to the brain. Treatments are now available to assist with all these causes.
This recognition of the physical causes of mental illness has made seeking treatment easier for many. But more information must be made available to the public so everyone can be freed from stigma left over from the millennia fear and superstition that has surrounded it.
Controversy still surrounds diagnosis of mental illness and its treatments. Even whether treatment is a good thing. Many historical figures have been determined to have mental illness. It has been speculated that these great figures would not have made their great discoveries or created their great works of art if they had had access to our modern medicines to control their symptoms as we do today.
The only way to approach the subject is to talk about it. Write about it. Shed light on it for all to see and consider.

Flash #282 – "Mishmash" – Cary Bates/Don Heck/Frank Chiaramonte
Last issue Professor Zoom told Flash he knew who had really killed his wife, Iris. Before Flash could inquire further, Zoom attached a pair of density boots to Flash's feet, causing him to sink into the ground toward Earth's molten core. Flash uses his super-speed aura to protect himself from the heat (and to keep a sheath of oxygen around himself), but the boots are too dense to vibrate out of. As he gets deeper underground, the heat finally melts the boots enough for Flash to vibrate free, but he's immediately swept into a flow of molten magma.

It's Friday! It is also the start to Spring Break for my middle schooler and Easter weekend! Who else is on now Spring Break? What kind of plans do you have? We will mainly be hanging out around the house, but I'm really hoping to get out and do a few things. Like some morning walks, trying out the zip line at the local "game park" and seeing our newest little nephew!
I'm sure I will be trying some new recipes this next week too! I have a few planned and my grocery list made so you'll be seeing them soon! But first I want to share these Sliced Baked Potatoes. I'm sure you have seen them all over the place. I've seen them on Pinterest and every other social media outlet and even my dad shared them on facebook because he wanted to save them to try. I made these a couple of weeks ago when my dad was going to be coming for dinner, but it was one of those "in between" days when we thought we weren't sick anymore, and then we were. So my dad didn't come over and we had to eat them all by ourselves.
They were actually simple to make, though a little bit of a process. Lots of washing and slicing and stuffing and waiting while they cook.
Stuff every other slot with a slice of butter and the others with parmesan cheese. Since I didn't use a brick cheese it was a little harder to stuff with the shredded but still totally worked!
After baking you'll add the heavy cream and then the shredded cheese.
Bake a little longer and you'll have these delicious Sliced Baked Potatoes!
- 5 Potatoes
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan Cheese
- ⅛ teaspoons Garlic Powder
- ¼ teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoons Olive Oil
- ¼ cup Heavy Cream
- ¼ cup Cheddar Cheese
- Preheat oven to 400ºF. Wash potatoes.
- Slice thin lines into your potatoes as far down as you can go without cutting all the way through.
- Slice the butter into thin pieces. Alternate the butter and the parmesan, stuffing them in between the slices of the potato. Season the potato with garlic powder and salt. Drizzle the potato with olive oil.
- Bake at 400ºF for 60 minutes. Remove from the oven and drizzle heavy cream over the potatoes. Top with cheddar cheese.
- Place back in the oven for 10 more minutes. Remove and serve!
Who is going to be trying these babies during Spring break?

Linx Cyber Pro VR Stealth Stroker And VR Glasses Review
By KurosakiKun
As technology advances, inevitably pornography will not be far behind utilising the latest gadgets as soon as they become affordable for all. The latest trend in gaming and movie watching is definitely Virtual Reality, putting you right into the game you're playing or movie you're watching in full 360 degree 3D visuals. This Linx Cyber Pro VR Stealth Stroker And VR Glasses bundle contains a vibrating male masturbator and luxury VR headset, blending sex and tech together into an exciting package that genuinely had me desperate to try it out. Having not owned or even used a VR headset I wasn't exactly sure how it worked or where to get any videos to watch on it, so this testing experience was thoroughly fascinating (and extremely enjoyable).
The Linx Cyber Pro VR Stealth Stroker And VR Glasses bundle arrives in a compact box which is very businesslike. There are strong pictures of the product on the front and schematics of the devices on the back (which I think are a brilliant touch). Listed on the back of the box are all the measurements you will need and complete guides for each part of the goodies inside. It also informs you that the headset is smartphone compatible; the stroker is waterproof and vibrator compatible; the bullet vibe takes a replaceable battery and vibrates; and lastly that all the items are latex free and phthalate free! The last two points are great news for anyone who is allergic to latex and who prefer their toys free of (potentially) health damaging phthalates, bonus!
In The Box
After slipping the outer sleeve off the Linx Cyber Pro VR Stealth Stroker And VR Glasses box we are greeted with another box which contains the VR headset, the stealth stroker, a leaflet with the same information that is on the outer faces of the box, a rather funky see through single speed bullet vibrator and a sachet of System JO H2O Strawberry lube (which tastes rather nice all you lube taste testers will be glad to read!). All you need to get started!
Inside the VR headset box you will find the headset itself and a packet containing cleaning wipes, instructions and some small grey foam blocks, don't lose these as they are quite important in securing your precious smartphone! First thing to do is to read the instructions and familiarise yourself with the headset. The broken English isn't the easiest to decipher but once you've had a play around it becomes straightforward to read.
Acquiring the VR Videos
Prior to getting my excited hands on the headset I had done some searching for videos so I didn't have to mess around too much setting up. You can easily do a Google search to find websites which have plenty of free to view videos. The leaflet which comes with the Linx Cyber Pro VR Stealth Stroker And VR Glasses kit also has a QR code you can scan which takes you to the Linx website. There you'll find free samples to try and plenty of premium content. I settled myself on an interesting poolside scene starring five pretty ladies and one guy whose eyes you are viewing the entire scene from, groovy!
This is where it starts to get complicated…
Using A Smartphone With The Headset
To set up the entire VR experience inside the headset you need to pull open the front compartment, slide the lock left and pull back the foam covered 'clamp'. This will then give you access to put your smartphone into the correct position for you to then view. After experimenting I found the best way to start is to play the VR clip you have chosen, line up the white line on the video with the middle of the viewing holes then clamp the phone.
The first time you do this and the phone is lined up perfectly, you will then utilise the foam blocks I told you not to lose earlier, I popped one at the bottom of the phone and one to the side which means I can get the phone into the perfect position every time I use it. Time saving is always a bonus!
It is worth noting as well that you will have to choose the correct VR setting for the video you are watching. It's amazingly important that you start the video and have it split into two screens on your phone, one for your left eye and one for the right (this creates the depth when you eventually put the headset on!) I found that I had to play around with the settings quite a bit to get it right for the headset.
Word Of Warning
One word of warning: once you have started the video, clamped the phone in and closed the compartment, you cannot access the touch screen or change the volume and it takes a good while to take the headset off and get the phone back out, so choose your video carefully… Don't do what I did and put a 2 minute video on for your first test! I hadn't even started using the stroker and the video had ended! It can be tricky and very frustrating if something goes wrong and you need to access the phone, fortunately once you have learnt from your initial mistakes future uses will be quicker and easier.
Now we have set up the headset and got our chosen sexy video playing, you just need to put the headset on. The eye guard is made of faux leather, is comfortable and the thick elastic head straps are easily adjustable in length. So on goes the headset, and looking through both eyepieces you should see a clear, crisp picture. If not, there are two adjusters on the top of the headset for focal and pupil distance control which should clear up any blurriness (choosing the highest quality resolution video available also makes this a lot better).
Immersive Experience
I was actually amazed the first time I used the Linx Cyber Pro VR Stealth Stroker And VR Glasses with a good quality video playing. It actually feels like you are in that room; the 3D effect is impressive and the fact you can look around the room at what you want is brilliant. The scene I was watching had things happening to the left, right and in the background that I could shift my focus to while watching, it truly is impressive.
The Penis Stroker
Onto the stroker. At first glance I thought it looked rather bland, in grey packaging and the non-lifelike hole on the bottom of the toy. Fortunately this stroker is anything but bland, it actually knocked my socks off not once but twice! 6 inches of inner length is enough for the average Joe and made of TPE and ABS it feels super soft but supple. It seems to warm to your body temperature as well.
During Use
The first time I used the stroker I lubed it up before putting the headset on and got into the scene. Unfortunately you will have to go in blind while using the headset so make sure you have used sufficient lube, you don't want to have to keep taking the headset off. I had the vibrator in the sleeve and entered the stroker for the first time. The way it gripped my shaft took my breath away. The vibrations from the bullet are surprisingly strong as well, stimulating the glans just right.
It didn't take long at all to reach orgasm, the combination of the incredibly immersive porn scene and my tightly swallowed cock which was being vibrated to within an inch of its life caused an impressively intense climax… The kind where you lie for a while not moving, just savouring what you have just achieved, almost glowing. That was the first mind-blowing orgasm…
Adding Suction Stimulation
The second came without the vibrator in and I discovered the little finger hole on the top of the stroker which adjusts suction. Now, I own quite a few masturbation sleeves, some basic and some with vibrator options. None of them have a suction hole anywhere near this fantastic masturbator. As soon as I placed a finger over the hole it clamped down like a vice on me, the vacuum it creates is so strong that it's actually difficult to move – which is bloody fantastic.
Once I had worked out how to get it moving slightly, the feeling was the epitome of being milked. Sorry for the graphic description, but I could actually feel it pushing the pre-cum up my urethra and that feels like paradise. I had to stop and start as the orgasm was there in 30 seconds (if not less) and I didn't want to lose those sensations so quickly. Obviously when I allowed it, the orgasm was earth shattering, amazing, sublime and more. I can't praise it enough. I have never had the pleasure of using one, but I've always been told that Fleshlights are the Bentley of male strokers; if they are better than this they must be perfection.
Noise Levels
The only negative thing about this sleeve is that with the vibrator in it is loud! It rattles off the casing which in turn echoes that noise. The kit isn't the kind of thing I would indulge in with a houseful of guests anyhow, so to me it's not a great issue.
Clean-up After Use
Cleanup of the sleeve is simple. Take out the insert and rinse with warm water and antibacterial cleaner. I found that it reversed easily so you can clean it properly. Once clean, like any sleeve you can pat it dry or leave to drip dry. A little rejuvenation powder won't go amiss to keep it tip top. The headset shouldn't get messy but if it does need cleaning it can just be wiped down easily.
In Conclusion
This Linx Cyber Pro VR Stealth Stroker And VR Glasses set is brilliant. It's a top class male masturbator which will be used again and again. The VR is amazing (once you have worked out how to use it). Using them together is a completely new experience and can really energize a masturbation session.
The Linx Cyber Pro VR Stealth Stroker And VR Glasses is fully deserving of 9/10 for a score, it would have been 10/10 but setting up the VR on your phone and into the headset can be very niggly/time consuming. Cara, thank you so much for this technological wonder!

Katie Holmes Takes Suri to the Art Museum
The mother-daughter duo spend an afternoon out together in New York City
She's one busy mom on the go.
After a busy Fourth of July holiday that included ice cream and an at-home celebration with her family, Katie Holmes took daughter Suri to the Children's Museum of the Arts in New York on Thursday.
The mother-daughter duo, who moved into a new, three-bedroom home, were matching in pink patterns as they arrived with bodyguards to face waiting photographers.
Later in the day the 6-year-old played "doorman" at Alice's Teacup on New York's Upper East Side. "Suri walked out with a shopping bag and a sparkly fairy wand," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "She insisted on holding the door for the whole group. Very sweet – so polite."
Holmes, 33, filed for divorce from Tom Cruise last week in a decision sources say blindsided the actor, who spent his 50th birthday at home in Los Angeles with his older children, Connor, 17, and Isabella, 19.

[Soompi Spotlight] Asia's Prince Lee Kwang Soo is King of Fan Service
One of the well-loved members of "Running Man" Lee Kwang Soo held his first ever solo fan meeting in Singapore over the weekend. He had received so much love from the fans that he couldn't stop himself from random outbursts of "I love you, Singapore!" and "Thank you, Singapore!".
Following Kim Jong Kook and Haha, he is the third member of "Running Man" to hold a fan meeting in the country. Besides appearing to be a little nervous and shaky during opening song "Hug", the actor-entertainer had nice vocals and many fans were taken aback by how good he sounds! Funny as it may seem, Lee Kwang Soo ended the song with… robot dance!
Fans had plenty of opportunities to interact with Lee Kwang Soo, as promised by event organizer Faith & D Entertainment.
In the "Action Telepathy" game segment, everyone in the audience was asked to stand and take part and guess what pose (out of five) will Lee Kwang Soo make. The ones who didn't make the same pose were eliminated and finally, 10 lucky winners got to go on stage to take photos with the star. Everyone was having a lot of fun during the game as four poses were from the robot dance and the last pose was a "saranghae" love sign formed with both hands above the head. It was hard not to laugh as everyone very gamely got into all these weird positions without any hesitation.
After the second song "Because I Love You", it also got a lot more "intense" as described by Lee Kwang Soo when another four lucky fans were picked for the second game, "Questions & Requests." The fans could either ask him a question or request something from him. All of them made special requests, to which Lee Kwang Soo agreed quite readily, earning many brownie points for his fan service — taking a photo with a back hug, a kiss on the forehead, and a piggyback ride! You don't usually get such fan service from Korean male idols!
Friends of the "Running Man" member, Jo In Sung, Song Joong Ki, Lee Dong Wook, and Kim Bum also sent their greetings and wishes for a successful fan meeting through a video.
Although he always plays the traitor in "Running Man," Lee Kwang Soo is quite a child at heart. When emcee Kenneth asked the audience to make a "Kallang Wave" (to rise and raise hands in the air from one end to another, forming a wave) for Lee Kwang Soo, he actually asked for permission to record it, ran backstage to grab his phone and came back, saying he will show it to his "Running Man" mates and show them how much love he's getting here.
During his closing song "I Believe," the 1.9m tall Lee Kwang Soo jumped off the stage and walked through the audience. With fans rushing forward trying to get close to him, it was still easy to spot him given his tall body frame.
At the press conference a day before, Lee Kwang Soo was asked about the advantages and disadvantages of his height. He replied "Frankly speaking, I'm quite satisfied with myself, I like my height, maybe when dressing up, I might have a bit of difficulty. The disadvantage is when I'm on 'Running Man,' I'm noticed quite easily. That will be my disadvantage."
Well, at moments like this, we certainly appreciate his height!
Thanks to Faith & D Entertainment for inviting Soompi to cover the fan meeting.

West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino needs "protecting" from the 15 clubs interested in his services, according to manager Tony Pulis, after the 22 year old was left out of the Premier League defeat to Chelsea. Tottenham Hotspur continue to be heavily linked with the Baggies forward ahead of the 1 September deadline.
The Daily Mail understands that Spurs will make a second offer of £24m ($37.8m) to sign Berahino, having had an opening offer of £18m rebuffed by the Midlands club. Mauricio Pochettino is keen to add to his attacking options despite signing Clinton Njie from Lyon, with his side having scored just three goals in their opening three league games.
Berahino's omission from the West Brom team for the visit of Chelsea worked to swell speculation regarding the forward's future, as Tottenham attempt to force through a deal in the final week of the transfer window. Pulis, meanwhile, has become increasingly angered by the continual questions regarding Berahino, despite being three games into the campaign.
"Why are we talking about Saido? Because of the transfer window," he said of the interest shown by Tottenham, whose main striker Harry Kane is yet to score this season. "It's absolutely ridiculous. For it to be going through the start of the season is ridiculous. We should be talking about this game.
"This wouldn't be an issue, a problem. Saido is a great lad. It happens where it can be disruptive, and it has been disruptive. I had a good chat with him yesterday [on 22 August] and he's fine, no problems, but it's the transfer window. Why can't we have a system where it finishes before the start of the season.
"You'll have to wait and see, seven days. I don't think that's relevant. It's just the kid. He's a young lad who needs to be protected. There's loads of stuff going on in his mind and there are loads of clubs, not one [Tottenham] but 15, saying things and doing things. I'm not talking any more about it."

text: We first learned of MakerBot's Digital Shop plans back at CES, and now the 3D printing outfit has announced its first licensing agreement: Sesame Street. That's right folks, starting today, you can download the requisite files needed to print your own Mr. Snuffleupagus, with more characters making their debuts in the months to come. This particular option prints in just under three hours and only deducts $1.29 from your bank account. The downside? Snuffy's source files are only compatible with the Replicator 2 and fifth-generation Replicator -- according to the online shop's specs. It shouldn't be a surprise that characters from Sesame Street are the first available here as MakerBot CEO Bre Pettis used to work for Jim Henson's Creature Shop. "3D printing is like having an engineering education in a box, but with Sesame Street, it has a playful and familiar twist," Pettis said.

Gamin 0.1.0
Gamin 0.1.0 was released on Thursday. It's very similar to the testing snapshot that I produced, but has a couple more fixes on top of that, so its worth upgrading.
inotify 0.23-6 or newer is required. A Gentoo ebuild is available in Gentoo Bug 92573. If you install it, please use the debug use flag, otherwise you'll be useless when it comes to bug-fixing (see here for debugging procedures).I don't think it will be included in portage yet, as we don't currently have any kernels which provide the required inotify version. If you are a gentoo-sources-2.6.11 user, you can find instructions on how to update your inotify version in this post.
A quick check indicates that I can still reproduce the problems I described in GNOME Bug 171201. However, I'm now wondering if some of the problems are GNOME's fault rather than gamin. This also ties into what some people have said, where the desktop updating breaks easily but nautilus file-browsing works all the time. It appears that the desktop is periodically polling gamin for updates, whereas file-browsing just waits for an event to be signalled. I'm going to investigate this, so if anyone has any idea where the Desktop polling code actually lives, please let me know. I figure that its in nautilus somewhere.

Live photos of the upcoming successor of Oppo R1 made the rounds online. The previously leaked smartphone is expected to debut at some point in the near future as Oppo R7.
The unannounced Oppo handset features double-sided 2.5D glass. The solution makes the smartphone quite a looker and improves its handling and ergonomics.
Rumored specs of the smartphone include Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 SoC, 2GB of RAM, 5" 1080p display, and 13MP camera. Dual-SIM functionality and Android Lollipop are also likely to be on board.
