Since I have never hosted a New Year's Eve party, I am an unlikely sharer of secrets to making it a good one. HOWEVER. I HAVE attended my fair share of awesome parties across half a century to ring in new years and journeyed to the ends of the interwebs for peeks at creative party details. So 11 New Year's Party Secrets is about to spill the TEA (which is urban slang for beans, and no, I have no idea why it wasn't tea in the first place since beans are a solid we typically drop or flip but don't spill).
11 New Year's Party Secrets!
Will you be partying for New Year's Eve or Day?
I plan to celebrate a New Year's baby's birthday, but I'll probably be tucked in before midnight! Which reminds me. You don't have to do the late night cocktail party thing.
1. Make it Brunch
Pssst. The Secret: Party at Noon.
There are no rules when it comes to how you decide to ring in the New Year or celebrate with your peeps. If brunch is more your style, do brunch. Put on your favorite music, make a mini layer cake like mine, and light a few candles. Boom. You've baked someone happy.

Rustic wood boards are easy to find everywhere, and here are some lovely olive wood options:
How simple can you keep the shindig? You can even skip a fancy floral arrangement and spring for a branch in an old jar. This branch is from the burning bush just outside our front door.
Secrets Behind a Beautiful Cheese Board
1. PLATTER MATTERS. Select a beautiful board or three.
Shop for new wood or marble boards or trays with a smooth surface.
2. CHOOSE THE CHEESE. Decide on a few different varieties of cheese, charcuterie, fruits, nuts, crackers, etc.
In terms of cheese, there are honestly no rules you must abide by beyond simply choosing what you love. If a stinky cheese gives you a headache, do not consider it! I love fruit-studded cheeses, and it doesn't hurt that they add a great variety of color. As for charcuterie, I love the ease of pre-sliced coppa, proscuitto, and salami.
3. SLICE THE LOVELY. Slice some of the strawberries, pears, charcuterie, and cheese.
If there's any secret at all, it's this: leave some of the fruit and cheese whole, and also slice some of it. A few strawberry, fig and pear slices will add interest and beauty to the board. Slice the charcuterie thinly (if it didn't pre-sliced) and dice some of the cheese into bite-size chunks. Simply style apples and pears on the table around the board for color and added beauty. Prepare the grapes: with kitchen shears, cut the stems for small individual bunches.
4. JOYFULLY ASSEMBLE! Artfully arrange ingredients on the board.
Begin with the largest items (cheese, meats, crackers) and then fill in, paying attention to what pleases your eye as far as color. Have fun with it!
Serving wine with this delish? I like to leave choosing wines to Martha Stewart Wine Co…

An open-source parallel watershed flow model
High resolution parallel simulation of variably saturated flow.
ParFlow is an integrated hydrology modeling software that simulates saturated and variably saturated flow in heterogeneous porous media. The code employs a discretization of the three dimensional Richards equation based on cell centered finite differences. The nonlinearity of the resulting equations is addressed with a globalized Newton's method. The sparse system of algebraic equations arising in each Newton step is solved numerically with a multigrid preconditioned Krylov iteration. ParFlow has been demonstrated previously to have excellent solver scalability up to 16,384 processes.
As part of our work in the DFG SFB/TR32 project D8, we have identified ParFlow's way of parallelization of the computational mesh as the main limiting factor in further extending its scalability. Hence, we have reorganized the mesh subsystem to use fast partitioning algorithms provided by the parallel adaptive mesh refinement software library p4est, which is known for its modularity and proven scalability.
We have created a modified version of ParFlow that is coupled to p4est to use it as its parallel mesh manager, currently focusing on uniform meshes. Our approach is minimally invasive and preserves most of ParFlow's data structures, the configuration system and the setup and solver pipeline. We have executed the modified version on up to 458,752 MPI processes of Juqueen, demonstrating good parallel scalability and significantly reduced setup time.

VK Holden Commodore – Today's Ex-Cop Tempter
What's seems to be the problem here, officer?
The VK Holden Commodore is the fourth iteration of the first generation of one of arguably Australia's greatest automotive moniker.
Released in February of 1984, the VK replaced the outgoing VH, and stayed in production until February of 1986.
Changes made over its predecessor were mostly cosmetic, with the VK receiving a new front grille and rear taillight design.
The VK was also the first Commodore to utilise plastic bumpers and adopt the extra rear quarter window, giving the VK a glasshouse-like cabin.
Customers could have their VK in either a four-door sedan or a five-door wagon.
Power came from a range of engines that comprised a 1.9lt inline four-cylinder (New Zealand market only), 3.3lt inline six-cylinder and 4.9 or 5.0lt V8.
The shove from these donks was sent to the VKs rear wheels via either a four or five-speed manual or a three-speed automatic transmission.
This particular VK is an ex-police interceptor and comes equipped with the 5.0lt V8 and four-speed manual transmission.
The awesome looking interceptor is $38,000 and anyone interested can view the full listing here.

A lot has changed for women in government in just the past two decades.
A lot has changed for women in the federal workforce since 1992.
The federal government has narrowed the gender pay gap by 17 cents on the dollar among its employees over the past two decades, with women earning 87 cents for every dollar a man earned in 2012, according to the Office of Personnel Management. Female federal employees are better educated and better compensated now than they were in the early 1990s; they also continue to increase their presence in a range of traditionally male professional fields, including law enforcement and information technology.
Still, there's room for improvement. Women's starting salaries in 2012 tended to lag behind men's by 10 percent on average, according to the study. And while the pay gap is less than 1 cent on the dollar for women in the Senior Executive Service, they are still underrepresented in the top ranks of government: They make up only about one-third of the SES, despite accounting for 46 percent of the white-collar federal workforce in December 2012.
What are some other surprising facts about pay disparity between the sexes in the federal government? Take our quiz below and find out. We've rounded the figures to the nearest whole number.
1. What percentage of new federal hires in the white-collar, professional job category were female in 2012?
a. 40%
b. 53%
c. 39%
d. 64%
2. What was the average annual salary for a female GS-15 in 2012?
a. $145,000
b. $126,000
c. $110,000
d. $154,000
3. True or False: Men received more promotions than women did on a percentage basis in 1992, 2002 and 2012, the three years OPM looked at.
4. At which department did women earn 93 cents for every dollar a man earned in 2012?
a. Veterans Affairs
b. Health and Human Services
c. Defense
d. Agriculture
5. True or False: The gender pay gap is smaller among younger federal employees.
6. In which federal positions do women now earn more than men?
a. Personnel management – administrative
b. Pilot/Navigator
c. Business/industry – professional
d. All of the above
7. What percentage of white-collar federal women had a post-doctorate degree in 2012?
a. 22%
b. 35%
c. 16%
d. 50%
8. True or False: There were more African-American men in white-collar federal jobs in 2012 than African-American women.

Waterbugs Skittering
Bishop John Maury Allin, sixth Bishop of Mississippi and 23rd Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, is reputed to have said on his retirement, "I have spent my life helping people become Episcopalians. Now I want to help people become Christians."
As I relaxed on the beach at Fort Morgan, Alabama, during our family's annual Christmas vacation, I had time to reflect on this journey of faith and this peculiar vocation. The silence was a wonderful opportunity for such contemplation.
My thoughts turned toward an aspect of Bishop Allin's reputed comments. Has my ministry been one of helping people become Christians? Or has it been something else?
There is an important distinction to be made: I am not talking about the factuality of a person being a Christian; that is accomplished, we believe, in the sacrament of Holy Baptism (justification). What I am concerned about is the manifestation of that justification in one's life, i.e. the progressive sanctification. How does the Christian faith make any difference in a person's life?
Likewise, I wonder about how our congregations manifest the faith which is embraced in the sacrament of Holy Eucharist, the recitation of the Nicene Creed, the renewal of baptismal vows, and the repeating of the Apostles' Creed. How are our congregations any different from any other community-building organization.
What difference does our embracing of Christianity make?
I'm not even sure that I have been focused on helping people become genuine Episcopalians. And I seriously doubt that I have prompted many people to enter deeply into the Christian life. What I have offered, I think, is a variety of cultural Christianity which has more to do with reflecting the cultural mores of a slice of Middle America. Our self-definition has been according to criteria such not a Baptist or not a Catholic or not a fundamentalist rather than the transformation of a life into a committed Christian.
I pondered what Christianity means in this culture. I want to be clear: The brand of cultural Christianity I've been hawking is not the only form of cultural Christianity being pedaled in this society. Many of those I have encountered – I want to be sure to include myself in this – have taken an eye off the ball in terms of authentic Christianity. I have encountered true saints of deep and profound faith, but they are rare. Many others want to be true, deep, and authentic Christians, but they either are unaware of how to live that life, or they are afraid of what it would require (That call by Jesus to "take up your cross and follow me" is pretty daunting).
Will Campbell, the iconic and irenic figure of the 1960s, once spoke of the Eucharist being obscene. His perspective was that the church spends massive amounts of money on providing all the accoutrements of liturgy (silver, fine linens, beautiful vestments) while the world not far from our sacred buildings is characterized by chaos, poverty, crime, abuse, racism, suffering, loneliness, grief, hunger, and other signs of a fallen creation.
In my silence and solitude, I reflected on Christianity and the world around us. My vision turned toward the Mississippi Delta, where poverty, brokenness, illiteracy, illness, broken families, and hopelessness abound. What is the significant impact of the church there? How are our churches – and our individual members – represented there? What difference do we make?
My thoughts turned toward Uganda, the Sudan, and other places of extreme poverty, hunger and suffering throughout the world. The images of starving children came to mind. Bloated bellies were haunting me in my world of plenty. The violence so endemic to those circumstances – brother oppressing brother – came to my consciousness.
It occurred to me: So much of what the church is and does, especially on a local level, is like a waterbug skittering along the surface of a pond. There may be turmoil, turbulence, and chaos beneath that surface, but the waterbug is blissfully unaware. He just skitters along, not concerned what the world beneath is like.
This whole reflection may be seen as a paean to some idealized Christianity. As such, it may not reflect reality (it most certainly does not) and may deny the limits of human nature and ability to respond meaningfully to a significantly broken world.
But I think that is the nature of Christianity. It calls for the transformation of human limitations and the healing of a broken world. And here is the hard part: that expectation is there regardless of the price to be paid.
How will my life and journey change, in light of this reflection? I do not know… yet.

As far I know (have just red to be honest :-) ) Windows 7 TCP stack has "Auto-Tuning" functionality which one in particular has following property:
I am very interested in this – cos using 3G connection with increasing latency I got sharp fall of TCP downloads speed, so I perform few tests: TEST 1.
I performed same test few more time and in most cases I got same results – latency increased during transmission and then sharp fall of TCP downloads speed, cos sender instead of sending more segments has to wait for ACKs from receiver. Window size increase can solve this, I suppose, but as you can see Receive window stay constant – 17680 bytes, what is small for 3G connection. But another day I performed tests again and got another condition – stable high download speed without falls and spikes, I checked Wireshark, and saw following:
As you can see after delay had increased ( what had resulted in TCP window full message in dump - cos no ACK received during window) receiver adjusted window from 17680 to 243440 bytes! And download speed didnt suffer.
Can somebody help me to understand why behavior is so different and why? I cant find in what is difference between downloads.
P.S. Ftp server, Ftp client and mobile network operator are same in all tests.
P.S2. Here is more, btw filtered to contain only one ftp transfer session and partially - https://www.cloudshark.org/captures/a04f219f963a - steady transfer with adaptive window on fly https://www.cloudshark.org/captures/a771a2dfa12d - rough transfer with persistent window
asked 01 Jun '15, 03:52
Those screen shots are not really helpful as you cut away the IP addresses, so tracking packet direction is harder than it should be. Also, the three way handshake is important (and missing) to determine options and iRTT. Next time try to include all columns, or better yet, provide a capture file. Sanitize it with TraceWrangler if necessary.
On a side note: don't try to figure out what Autotuning does - most (all) of us who tried failed. There is no official (or even unofficial) information from Microsoft what their stack is doing, and when. It behaves totally different in various situations. Even things like Antivirus software has an impact. Maybe the receiver had enough memory when it pulled up the window and didn't in the other situation. Everything in modern computers depends on each other, so it's really hard to track behavior like that of the TCP stack.

Jasper ♦♦
Just added partial capture files to first post.
It is not my scope to figure out what Autotuning does but I have to find out in which conditions i can have steady download speed. Cos for me all download attempts looks rather similar - same PC, same ftp server, same Node-B, same distance from Node-B, same QoS levels in mobile network, same load on RF channels during tests and so on, but nevertheless in most cases I got poor performance with falls and spikes of traffic.
(01 Jun '15, 09:53) mongolio
Okay, but determining steady download speed conditions is easy (well, relatively) if you have a capture - just find out what slows you down. There's basically two issues that you'll face: packet loss, and window size too small. For a good analysis you'd need captures taken at the same time both at client and at the server to be able to compare what the situation for each node was.
Problem is, that it is really hard to tell why a system used a specific window size since we have that funky auto tuning stuff these days. It was a lot easier back when we all ran Windows XP and earlier :-)
(01 Jun '15, 10:17) Jasper ♦♦
Jasper, as I red about Windows (OS) TCP realization it can use latency not only as signal to increase window size, but also as a signal to decrease window size to avoid upcoming congestion. Do you have any assumptions by what means does it derive when latency caused by changing transmission environment (when latency increased but there are no congestion) and when latency increased due to links utilization?
(02 Jun '15, 09:39) mongolio
No idea; that's in the realm of the mystical magic of the Windows TCP stack. It does what it does, I've given up to try to figure out why :)

Genomics has enormous potential in healthcare to improve the diagnosis, treatment and management of disease. Melbourne Genomics is working to incorporate this huge potential into everyday healthcare.
What is the potential for genomics in everyday healthcare?
EXAMPLE 1: Making an earlier diagnosis
Within the first few weeks or months of life, an infant is admitted to the Royal Children's Hospital with a number of health problems. The treating doctors believe that the infant may be suffering from a genetic condition, but it is difficult to pinpoint exactly which genetic condition because the infant's problems are common to many different diseases, each of which can be caused by variants in several genes. A clinical geneticist (a medical doctor who specialises in genetic conditions) advises the parents that a genomic test is available which they can use to diagnose the condition. Unlike previous genetic testing methods, the genomic test will check all the genes that could be causing the infant's problems, all at the same time. This test may provide the infant and their family with a diagnosis that would otherwise have been difficult or impossible to determine until the infant was older. In some cases, an early diagnosis can allow doctors to prescribe life-saving treatments. It can also help give parents an idea of what to expect of their child's health in the future, and how to care for them. In addition, the test may provide parents (and other family members) with information they can use in family planning.
EXAMPLE 2: Helping to guide medical decisions
An adult has been diagnosed with a form of leukaemia called Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML). Based on this diagnosis, the oncologist (a specialist in cancer) needs to determine whether a bone marrow transplant is a good treatment option. The oncologist advises that a genomic test is available that will simultaneously examine many genes that are associated with AML. The result of this test can be used to determine if the person would benefit from a transplant, based on identifying variants in a particular set of genes. Therefore, genomic testing information can help guide the management of this person's condition. A bone marrow transplant could be life-saving, but in the wrong patient it's an unnecessary, invasive and complicated operation that won't help.
EXAMPLE 3: An easier path to diagnosis
A young boy has noticed that the muscles in his hands and feet are becoming increasingly weak. He seeks medical advice and is referred to a neurologist (a specialist in neurological conditions) by his family doctor. From the initial consultation, the neurologist believes that he could be suffering from a genetic condition called Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), which affects the nervous system. The neurologist advises that a genomic test is available which can be used to determine which subtype of CMT an individual has based on identifying variants in a particular set of genes. Having this test could avoid time-consuming, invasive and painful tests, such as nerve biopsies. Genomic tests can sometimes find a diagnosis where other tests are unsuccessful. Obtaining a specific diagnosis could then help the neurologist manage treatment of this young boy. It could also allow for testing of other family members to determine if they might develop the same condition in the future, and to assist with family planning.
Can I have a genomic test?
While some companies offer 'direct-to-consumer' genetic tests, at present genomic tests are only offered through the health system and are not government-funded.
Melbourne Genomics is working to make genomic testing a routine part of healthcare. Our project is determining the benefits of genomic testing for diagnosis and treatment across a range of medical conditions, and is developing a pathway to provide genomic sequencing to patients within Victoria's healthcare system.
Read more about the work of Melbourne Genomics.
If you are a participant in one of our programs, please see the For patients section.
Any questions you have about genomic testing should be discussed with your medical specialists.
More information about genetic and genomic testing in Victoria is available here.
The Genioz study collected Australians' insights on personal genomics, and has developed community resources to assist those considering personal genomic testing or online DNA testing. This five-year national study was funded by the Australian Research Council and coordinated through research partners including the Murdoch Children's Research Institute and Melbourne Genomics Health Alliance.

If you have a hot, dry area of your yard (don't we all?) consider Russian Sage. It is a gorgeous, ethereal plant with silvery green, lacy foliage that is topped with spikes of lavender blue flowers from July until frost. Russian Sage grows up to four feet tall and three feet wide, though some varieties are more compact. This is one of those plants in my garden that I pretty much ignore, other than admiring it.
Cultivation: Plant Russian Sage in full sun, in average to poor fertility soil, as long as it is well drained. Russian Sage can be planted at any time during the growing season.
Care: Russian sage is a very low-maintenance plant. Make sure they don't dry out during their first season (but don't overwater, either!) and after that they're pretty tough plants. They don't need to be fertilized or divided. The only care they need is that they should be cut back to 6 to 8 inches tall in early spring to promote bushy growth.
Propagation: Russian Sage is easily propagated by taking softwood cuttings in May or June. "Softwood" means the current year's growth, before it gets hard and woody. The cuttings can either be kept indoors under lights or in a window, or outdoors in a sheltered spot. To take softwood cuttings of Russian Sage:
- Cut about 4 to 6 inches from the end of a stem, right below a leaf node.
- Remove any leaves from the bottom 2 inches or so of the stem.
- Dip cut end into rooting hormone.
- Plant in seed-starting mix (a combination of peat, perlite, and vermiculite-or buy a prepared mix from the store) in either flats or pots. Using a pencil, make a hole 1-2 inches deep, stick the end with the rooting hormone in, and firm the soil gently around the cutting.
- Water thoroughly.
- Cover the pot with a clear plastic bag, supported by sticks to keep it away from the cutting.
- Keep the soil moist, but not too wet. The cutting will root within a few weeks and can then be planted out in the garden.
Good companions for Russian Sage:
- Black Eyed Susan
- Butterfly Bush
- Purple Coneflower
- Agastache
- Starflower

Taylor Hicks is an American singer best known for winning the fifth season of American Idol. The pop star is currently dating his girlfriend Caroline Lyders.
The couple has been surrounded by the rumors that they have secretly got married. Is this thing true or just a rumor. Let's find it. Stay tuned.
As we mentioned earlier, Taylor Hicks is in a relationship with Caroline Lyders who is the anchor for a morning news on Channel 12. The journalist has also interviewed to be an anchor of EyeOpener on WCVB-TV, the ABC affiliate in Boston.
It's unknown how, when and where Taylor and Caroline met for the first time but the boyfriend-girlfriend duo has reportedly been dating for a long time.
The couple sparked engagement rumors after they were spotted buying some pricey bling in several jewelry stores. The jewelry included a major diamond ring which looked like it was for his girlfriend's left-hand ring finger, according to Sun-Times.
The newspaper added on July 5, 2019, that the pair is "convinced" an engagement is inevitable, writing, "He's madly in love with her."Their relationship is "heating up."
Later on July 6, the Washington Daily News July 6, 2019, reported that American Idol 2006 winner secretly married to his long-time girlfriend.
Noting that the singer was spotted wearing a wedding ring earlier this week, the newspaper said that the duo tied the knot in an intimate morning ceremony at a secret location. They reportedly walked down the aisle in front of few close friends and family members.
As none of the stars have officially confirmed their marriage, we can't assure that they are really husband and wife. But with no doubt, the pair looks damn together.
Looking at the picture of young Taylor Hicks we are sure you can't resist yourself falling in love with him.
We are eagerly waiting for them to make everything official.
Taylor Hicks is pretty secretive about his dating history and thus, he speaks very little about his past affairs and ex-girlfriends.
However, sources reports suggest he was previously linked with his American Idol fellow contestant Kellie Pickler.
But the rumors of their relationship were ultimately shut down as she had already been married to musician Kyle Jacobs.
Likewise, Taylor was also seen with Katharine McPhee following her divorce with husband Nick Cokas after eight years of marriage.
The pair, who first met in the season 5 of American Idol, was spotted together in numerous shows and events including a pre-Grammy party.

No. 14 Cincinnati wary of USF, and that's no bull (Jan 13, 2018)
Cincinnati's greatest concern Saturday is not South Florida, which is winless in the American Athletic Conference.
The No. 14 Bearcats (14-2, 3-0 AAC) are mindful of themselves, particularly becoming complacent against the outmatched Bulls (7-10, 0-4).
Cincinnati is a heavy favorite to win its eighth straight game. Las Vegas oddsmakers made the Bearcats an early 22-point favorite Friday night.
"I know everybody else is concerned with who's favored and the records, but my job is to keep my guys focused on our opponent and what they do well," Cincinnati coach Mick Cronin said. "Their record is completely irrelevant. We don't talk about it."
Cincinnati also has the incentive of remaining unbeaten in the AAC and keeping pace with Wichita State, which is 4-0 in the AAC.
"When it comes to conference play, anybody could come in and get a win at any given moment," junior guard Justin Jenifer told Cincinnati.com. "We have to play just as if they're (South Florida) No. 1 in the conference. We have something more to lose than they do. We've got to come in and do what we've got to do."
USF coach Brian Gregory, formerly the coach at Dayton and Georgia Tech, took on the task of rebuilding the program this season after the Bulls were rocked by the firing of coach Orlando Antigua last January.
Interim coach Murry Bartow, the former Alabama-Birmingham and East Tennessee State coach, faltered with a 1-16 record to end the season.
"Brian's a great coach, and he's proven it," Cronin said. "Great coaches are viewed upon in different ways. Usually it's just based on wins and championships. In the coaching world we view it on doing a great job with the talent you have, which Brian did at Dayton and he did at Georgia Tech and he's doing it this year, with the talent he has."
USF has 10 newcomers, including Fairleigh Dickinson graduate transfer Stephan Jiggetts, a guard who averages 11.1 points per game.
Penn State graduate transfer Payton Banks, a wing, leads the Bulls with 12.7 points per game but has missed three of the last four games because of an unspecified illness. Banks could return Saturday against the Bearcats, according to the Tampa Tribune.
USF struggles to score, ranking last in the AAC at 63.5 points per game. The Bulls also were No. 333 nationally entering Friday with a turnover margin at minus-3.65 per game.
USF figures to have difficulty against the Bearcats' defense. Cincinnati tops the AAC allowing only 58.6 points per game.
"I think the biggest thing, our guys understand the big picture," Gregory said of the Bulls' rebuilding phase. "They understand where we're at, why they came here, what we're trying to get done. So, they're still positive, they're still practicing hard, they're still competing hard."
Cincinnati junior guard Jacob Evans needs 14 points to reach 1,000 for his career. He would be the 52nd player in school history to reach that mark. He leads the team with 13.8 points per game.

"He Invaded Panama, Now Dead at Age 94"
Um...if you're one of these tiresome linear thinkers, this pile of semi-cheery nonsense I just wrote is not for you. Maybe just turn around and go back to wherever you like to employ your Dunning-Kruger Defense, instead. Everyone admires the irony of that.
Links go to actual news pages that I liked on this subject.
And so, resquiat in pace, President Bush the Elder. I'm not here to talk of my love and high degree of admiration for this guy. But his "legacy," if he ends up with one, won't be whatever he did with Reagan's administrative leavings, or even, probably, the taxes on wealthy people he promised they wouldn't have, though if you read about the math on that, it might interest you in our current context.
His legacy will be largely that he served as the last Republican president before the era that we are currently in during which most of the country moved a fraction of a degree left while the GOP wagon train launched itself to the right, partly in the name of a tiny God and partly because they paid with their souls financially for the chance to spread their tiny views like a pox blanket over the rest of us, and we are paying for that now.
Don't you love a good mixed metaphor?
GHW Bush was certainly no more conservative than was his White House successor, Bill Clinton, someone about whom I won't be writing a gentle substanceless eulogy. Ideology in those terms was so different 30 years ago, it's nearly surreal to look back on.
Lately when I read comments from people going on about libs and their President Clinton, I know we've descended into reactionary territory. That guy was no more liberal than was, well, George H.W. Bush. But what can you expect from people who think that there is no middle ground between Godless Socialist Communism and The Wonderful Wild American West in which we all battle on an even playing field for all the gold that's just lying at our feet should we care to pick it up? Why do they think that? Well, people believe whatever makes them feel better about themselves, and that includes you, too, you smug "progressive." Stop pretending it doesn't, right now, or we won't get anything done. But also there might have been lead paint involved.
Bush became president during a time when it was extra important for the U.S. to look like it had its act together. The post world war order in Europe was beginning to break apart, and here at home all the game-playing with middle east politics was exposed, and smart people began to wonder why Chinese landholdings in Montana and other western states was on a sharp rise. And there were already signs President Reagan was losing his grip on a focused reality.
President Bush tried to be an old-fashioned peace time president in appearance, and I like that in a leader. Behind the scenes, sure there was another story. There always is. If you think this isn't true about all of them, pull your skirt down; your naive is showing.
Maybe it's when I was born and grew up, but I don't remember ever expecting much from a president other than the ability to do well at the international state dinners and to not let Congress run riot over the rest of us.
I have a very dim memory of President Johnson; mostly what I remember of the evening news from that era is fighting scenes in Vietnam. I remember the moon landing a little while after that, and I remember the different President Nixon speaking about it. But unlike so many of my friends who were at that age reading edifiying works of literature, I spend most of my preschool time riding around on my dog and digging in dirt, so all that distant grownup stuff was on some other plain.
I began reading when I was six. I didn't exactly learn how, though I did love my phonics workbook at school. I loved the science of it. No, it was just that I didn't read anything and then I read everything. That is to say, I could read everything, but didn't; when my current friends who read at two or three go on about reading Jane Eyre at eight, well, I had way too many Nancy Drews, Bobbsey Twins, and world mythology, and biographies about explorers and 19th century businessmen to be bothering with what turned out to be "literature." But I did love the newspaper. They had a kid's section sometimes, and there were comic strips, which confused me because I thought comic was supposed to mean funny, but I did read them, and the advice columns; you got Ann in the morning Times and Abby in the evening Star, and I read the grocery ads, and sometimes a famous person died and if he was famous but not world-shakingly so, the news item would generally be found in the bottom right corner of the front page.
And so I am pretty sure, though my recall is not perfect, that the death of Jim Croce is what caused me to start reading about Watergate. Jim Croce's headline was beneath one about Nixon's tapes, or what-have-you. That was in September, 1973, and I'd just started third grade. It was a hard year for me, maybe sometime I'll try to piece some of it together, but what I remember about it are these items: learning the multiplication tables, having an Indian Unit, we got to have a substitute teacher for a long time which was nice because the regular teacher didn't like me and Mrs. Richardson did, but, I think because of her and perhaps an overly optimistic view of his training, having to visit the school counselor for a few Mondays while he failed to figure out what was wrong with me, and Watergate.
I read about Watergate every day in the newspaper. I didn't understand quite a lot of it, but it fascinated me all the same. I knew the players like you might know a baseball team.
And so that informed my view of the presidency pretty much. I remember when Nixon resigned and we got Ford, instead, who was rather more together than a kid might know from Chevy Chase impersonations, but mostly just hanging in there til he could be Electoral Colleged out, and then there was Carter, and Congress resented him, and that was something to learn about and try to understand, and later I tried to learn political science as a college course but didn't get to take it very far because of this whole thing, never mind about that now.
Reagan was certainly unlike presidents before him in many ways, and partly that was because of the shrinking of the global stage, and partly because he was an entertainer, and of course a lot of things all collided together to create that era we look back on like it was a TV series we all watched, with greedy people and secrets and cliffhangers and everything. Plus, his administration planted the seeds for the 1994 Republican Revolution, and cannot be forgiven for that, but in between, we got President George Herbert Walker Bush, and I will "confess" to you now that I voted for him in 1992 against Clinton because I believed that whatever was going on behind the scenes, the things he said about the surface we lived on were largely true and just the sort of middle of the road state we ought to remain in for just a little while longer*, and I wouldn't have trusted Clinton as far as I could throw him.
I think Clinton being elected accelerated those wacko reactionary Republicans' path to the fore, while a second Bush term would have held them off, because the nature of Congress changed just enough to keep fighting for that whole tax bugaboo the Rs were so angry about, but at the same time, we had other things to focus on that were much more in Bush's wheelhouse than Clinton's, and boy, did that become apparent pretty swiftly.
I'm tired of typing now. I love my six year-old MacBook Air, but the i key doesn't stay in place well, and the e and n now need more of a touch than I'm used to needing to give a keyboard after all these years.
Also, if I write much more, it'll turn into how much I disliked the Clinton presidency rather than a particular liking for the Bush one. In the 90s, Hillary would have been a better president in domestic terms than Bill, and that's all I'm going to say about that, but people have this strange idea she's some kind of liberal, so that would never have flown then, plus I don't think her foreign policy ideas at that time would have worked any better than his. I could be wrong about that.
So anyway, President Bush. If you set aside the nature of the office in terms of dealing with a bloated and diverse 50 state economy, and all the other trappings of it, and the squirrely legacy he inherited from Reagan, that was a guy who knew what was going on in the world and could probably have done a bit more work that ended in our favor, given a little more time. And that's my whole point here; I'm eulogizing the second term he didn't have, because that's the thing I think will matter most in future history. He'd have made us mad sometimes and gotten some things wrong, but a different Congress would have formed through the rest of the decade. And we just might not have ended up with the subprime mortgage disaster.
But I suppose you could say nearly all of them, up to that point, could have achieved more and better stuff given an honest opportunity. And I think President Obama tried to turn the ship around to get back on that course, but of course, here we are, and who knows what happens next? I guess what I mourn for is a couple particular aspects of the world we inhabited back then; the pre-1994 world before all the definitions were turned on their heads, and the Benetton Future still looked shiny and optimistic. We sensed we were headed for a kind of futuristic dystopia, but I don't think we expected to be living in it quite so soon.
*No. Don't make that phrase about not needing social change or more equality. That must always be on a forward trajectory. I'm so irritated realizing this needs to be said that I'm not even going to explain to you what I meant by staying on that course for a little while. Be smart and figure it out yourself.
Here's a Sugar Cubes album.

Event Details
Event information below:
Illustrating Anarchy and Revolution: Mexican Legacies of Global Change
Center for Mexican American Studies
UT Austin February 5-7, 2014
Keynote Address: Dr. Claudio Lomnitz, Columbia University (Campbell Family Progressor of Anthropology), "Ideological Incoherence and Ideological Purity in the Mexican Revolution."
This conference traces various efforts to imagine a better, more inclusive political future, especially efforts rooted in the anarchist legacy of the Mexican Revolution. In 1903, the Flores-Magón brothers declared, "La Constitucion ha muerto" on a banner which they hung outside the offices of the anti-Porfirista newspaper El Hijo del Ahuizote in Mexico City. The routes of exile they traveled following this watershed proclamation created opportunities for insurgent Mexicans and their sympathizers – first, on the Texas-Mexico border and then across the globe – to form radical communities through a variety of media. Of particular interest is how these "sueños de libertad" galvanized communities at the turn of the century in cities ranging from San Antonio, Laredo, Chicago, Los Angeles, and St. Louis to Alcoy, Barcelona, and Moscow. With a mixed media exhibition at Mexic-Arte, a Fine Arts Museum housing works by Mexican and Mexican American artists in downtown Austin, and an academic conference at UT Austin co-sponsored by the Center for Mexican American Studies (CMAS) and the Hijo de Ahuizote Museum-Archive in Mexico City, we wish to revisit these early 20th century articulations of transnational collaboration as we discuss their anarchist spirit and global legacies.

T Rex band member dies
Micky Finn, percussionist with glam rock group T Rex, has died at the age of 55.
A spokesman for the Mayday Hospital in Croydon, south London, said: "Michael Finn died on Saturday night at the Mayday Hospital."
His manager Barry Newby said Finn was believed to have died of kidney and liver problems, but the exact cause of death had not been announced yet.
Finn replaced original member Steve "Peregrine" Took in 1970 and stayed for five years.
He was known among fans for his trademark bongos and played on classic albums such as The Slider.
Marc Bolan was supposed to have said of Finn: "He can't sing... but he looks superb."
Finn left T Rex in 1975 to form his own band and in recent years had toured with his own incarnation of T Rex.
Under the name Mickey Finn's T Rex, he toured extensively around Europe.
He last performed with his band in Germany at the end of December.
Huge following
Formed by flamboyant lead singer Marc Bolan in 1967, T Rex remain best know for hits such as Get it On, Hot Love and Children of the Revolution in the early 1970s.
The band had a huge following in Britain but failed to replicate that success in in the United States and elsewhere.
They are credited with introducing the phenomenon of "glam rock" to pop music and influencing artists such as David Bowie.
The band has been dogged by premature deaths.
Bolan, the most famous member of the band, died when the car he was a passenger in hit a tree in 1977.
Former member Took died through choking on a cherry stone, and Steve Currie (bass player) died in a car crash.

GENERAL EVENT NOTICE: Due to recent concern over the spread of the corona virus, Toledo.com suggests confirming with the actual organizers that this event is still proceeding as planned.
Event Details:
Toledo's PET Bull Project created an intervention program that pairs youth with hard to adopt rescue dogs for a multi-week workshop in education and dog training for the benefit of both youth and dog.
The Teacher's Pet program is a 6-week, once a week workshop where students will learn topics about dogs, and then have the opportunity to train dogs to make them more adoptable.
Through the power of the human-animal bond, students training with dogs are able to experience growth and behavioral improvements while enhancing the adopt-ability of the rescue dogs, giving them a better chance at finding a loving, permanent family.
Students will learn the basic of canine communication, dog body language, animal handling, identifying stress in dogs, dog breeds, owner responsibility, dog aggression, greetings, spay and neuter, and dogfighting. The students will work with dogs on performing commands such as sit, stay, down, leave it, drop it, how to walk on a leash, not jumping on people, improving focus and socialization and much more. At the end of the program, students will have the opportunity to test their dogs to become a Canine Good Citizen (CGC), and will receive a photo of their dog graduating. The youth are not able to adopt the dog they have trained.
$30 includes T-shirt and graduation ceremony pizza party. Scholarships are available for those who qualify.

These past three weeks we have been delving into the book of Joel. Today we take one last look at the ancient words of this prophet and linger a little longer this week on the power of our God. On Sunday Pastor Keith highlighted the point that "there is no grace without justice" (listen to Pastor Keith's sermon here). And we were reminded that we need to see the wrath of God to fully understand the grace and forgiveness of God. Verse 16 of Joel 3 says,
"The Lord will roar from Zion
and thunder from Jerusalem;
the earth and heaven will tremble.
But the LORD will be a refuge for his people,
a stronghold for the people of Israel."
Here once more we are reminded of the terrifying power that God wields and in that terrifying power we find a sure and solid strength in which to take refuge.
As Christians we are justified by Christ's blood and saved from God's wrath1, our faith in him is counted to us as righteousness2, we have been made right with God and have been adopted into God's people3; therefore, we can stand with bold trust that God will be our refuge and our stronghold. Let this bring you peace wherever you are. Take a deep breath and let the stress of the world fall off of you like scales, and trust in your God who is full of power and abounding in steadfast love, your God who is slow to anger and eager to embrace the estranged and rebellious son. "In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and trust shall be your strength." 4
This study in the book of Joel was entitled Judgement and Deliverance. And as I focus in on the final words of Joel, I am amazed at the extravagance of God's deliverance. The people do not just get delivered by the skin of their teeth, they get delivered into extravagance and purpose. God does not merely save, he blesses. He does not stop at redemption, but pursues us further into restoration. Oh what generosity! What lavish love!
Let us see exactly what Joel has to say about the blessings of God that followed his judgement and deliverance:
"In that day the mountains will drip new wine,
and the hills will flow with milk;
all the ravines of Judah will run with water.
A fountain will flow out of the Lord's house
and will water the valley of acacias.5
Just as Pastor Keith concluded with a look at God's restoration of earth in the new creation6 let us dwell on the imagery Joel uses to signify restoration for Israel: mountains dripping with wine, ravines flowing with water, fountains to water the valley. So much beauty breathed back into a land that was destroyed. Remember that part in chapter 2 that said the land before them was like Eden and the land behind them a desert wasteland7… how beautiful to know that that was not the end of the story, but that such Eden-like beauty would be restored to the land. God is true to his promise, "I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten…"8 and he can be trusted. Sin and brokenness is not the end of our story, He does and he will restore.

The fight for supremacy is the one which divided the world into many parts. But there was no one who was able to become supreme then the almighty. But there is one or some persons who are the greats of their respective fields and therefore generally referred as seniors. There was always a scenario in past that the one with the more experience is one who is senior. But, if we look the current global position, then it's totally clear that the age is just a number to call someone senior. The thing that matters wholly is the skills and the knowledge and qualities. So is the case of senior advocates in Supreme Court of India.
Senior Advocates is basically a designation that is extended to the lawyers in the Supreme Court of India or high courts. The basic idea behind this honour to them is to recognise their superior ability and their standing at the bar. The motive is to plead them for their contribution to the law profession and moreover to the world of justice.
Now the top most thought that strikes over body part above our shoulders are that how the Senior Advocates are designated? So, before coming to the answer lets once again clear that the basis of seniority is not the experience solely, but the skills and knowledge hold a major share on such basis. So, for designation of senior advocates, The Advocates Act,1961, empowers the Supreme Court of India and high courts of respective states to designate lawyers as Senior advocates. For the designation of the senior advocate in supreme court, an advocate should have been practising for at least 10 years and their name must be also expected to be recommended by a minimum of 5 sitting judges.
In some high courts, the minimum number of judges for the recommendation of a lawyer is 2 and the candidate also requires a lawyer to have a mandatory minimum number of courtroom appearances. Income is also a basis of prescription in some high courts. On a recommendation, the application of a lawyer is placed before the full court of the Supreme Court or the high court. In the Supreme Court, the Chief Justice may exercise his discretionary power in exceptional cases, but the status is usually granted by the full court unanimously.
Now once understanding who are senior advocates, the other thing that lets us unfocused is what are benefits of becoming a senior advocate or how are they different from others? If we look at the law, then there is no such benefit stated in The Advocates Act,1961. Thus, officially there are not a specific advantage of the status. However, the status of such senior advocates is represented through the respect and recognition such lawyers get at the bars and from the bench too in courtrooms. And they also get a financial advantage as clients are ready to pay them high fees too. Rest, there is no much difference between them and other advocates. A designated senior advocate is identified by his black gown that has a rectangular flap attached to the shoulders.
The fight for supremacy and seniority will go on till ages as it affects the self- esteem and status of the individuals. But to break this fight in the profession of law, The Advocates Act,1961, has stated the guidelines itself to get the designation of the senior advocate. And thus, not like the past where experience was the basis of seniority, the present and future are guided by the skills and knowledge and same is in the case of SENIOR ADVOCATES.

We have come to know rap and business legend Jay Z by quite a few monikers. There has been ov, Jay Z, Jay, Sean Carter, and Jigga, to list a few off. He is now going by all caps JAY Z. This name change, which was announced through Pitchfork, is accompanying his forthcoming album 4:44. What do we think of his name change? Well, Beyoncé's husband would also work very well…
So here's a list to remind you just how frequently rappers change their names.
- 2 Chainz
Okay this one is criminally underrated. Rapper 2 Chainz formerly went by the name Tity Boi. This name was criticized as derogatory to women. So he eventually changed his name to 2 Chainz to be more "family friendly."
- Sean Combs
Much like Jay, Sean Combs has cycled through a myriad of nicknames. All of which are vaguely related. He was Puff Daddy, Puffy, P. Diddy, and Diddy. We honestly don't even know which one he prefers now.
- Snoop Dogg
Snoop has had some interesting and creative re-brandings. What we're thinking of is a few years back when he went by Snoop Lion, and dipped his tows into the reggae music world. He had also gone by the name The Doggfather.
- The Notorious BIG
NYC rap legend Christopher Wallace is known by both Biggie Smalls and The Notorious B.I.G. But he actually had to get away from the name Biggie Smalls after Calvin Lockhart played a character with the same name in 1975 movie Let's Do It Again. Due to a lawsuit, Biggie officially had to use the name The Notorious B.I.G.
- J. Cole
Jermaine Cole goes by an abbreviated version of his name. However when he was just 17 years old, he was given the alias "Therapist." Thinking it sounded too much like a name for a wrestler, he went back to the abbreviated version of his birth name
- Kendrick Lamar
Similarly to J. Cole's abbreviation, Kendrick Lamar at one point went by the moniker K. Dot. He was using this name when he first started rapping as young teen. But later on he went back to his birth name, in an effort to grow as a lyricist and improve his reputation.
- Birdman
New Orleans rapper Birdman used to go by the stage name "Baby." He transitioned to Birman after his group Big Tymers broke up.
- Mac Miller
Malcolm James McCormick is known by quite a few names. His stage name Mac Miller, but also he is a record producer under the pseudonym Larry Fisherman. He has multiple other alter-egos with clever names like Delusional Thomas, Larry Lovestein, and the Velvet Revival. But perhaps most clever of all was his original stage name-Easy Mac.
- Earl Sweatshirt
Thebe Neruda Kgositsile is known by Earl Sweatshirt. But for a while he went by the moniker Sly Tendencies. After Tyler, The Creator asked him to join his hip-hop collective Odd Future, he changed his name.
- Macklemore
Say what you will about Seattle rapper Macklemore, but he would have definitely seemed more pedantic with his old moniker Professor Mack Lemore.

Found it! Dr. Mindy Pelz. hope this helps
DO NOT GOOGLE aches and pains and body stuff. I absolutely don't think it's keto. Watch Dr Berry's videos. Keto is supposed to be good for female stuff👍🥰
I have Dr Fung's book on fasting and he said fasting seems to go best with keto. Great book. He also wrote the Obesity Code which is great👍🥰
sometimes i spot a little when i ovulate and my doc said it was just due to the hormonal cycle shift and its normal. but, thats just what i know for me, always ask your doctor. i can tell exactly when im ovulating and am pretty in tune now… and there is a definite hormone shift that happens!
Don't change! We lub ya just the way you are!
Don't google shit. Dr. google says plan your funeral. Comedy gold. 😀
Hey Daniela, thank you for sharing this valuable information. I also have my cycle not be the same. Hopefully, you can get more help and solution by this and share it to. You have a wonderful Sunday 💜💜💜
Make sure you get your water in girl it'll help with soreness.
Great video 💖💖🔥🔥
My cycle has been bipolar since starting Keto over a year and half ago. Heavy, spotting, light.. it is always different. Still get hangry too, lol.
I have anxiety disorders, and learned the hard way myself not to look up anything no way!!
Thank you for this!!!! I had pizza today and was feeling so bad but thanks for saying it's ok! I love your channel and how real you are!!!! And def do not Google! I did today and I'm dying soon ugh!!! Lol
I thought with IF you are suppose to eat the same macros in a smaller eating window, right?
The extremely limited data regarding women and intermittent fasting shows that, for the majority, benefits end after a 16 hour fast and longer than that is detrimental. It's different for every one but if your body is showing you that an 18-20hr fast isn't working, I would def listen before your hormones get screwed up.
Please be careful with your potassium!!! Low potassium can cause heart problems!! ❤
Lol 😂 I'm the same way .. I've googled symptoms in the past and it messed with my head hard never again cus that shit gets scary real quick. Meal prepping some keto egg bites cus Starbucks gets expensive. Thanks for all your support girl and I'm here for you too girl! On Tuesday it will be week 1 of getting back in keto and we were craving some sweets so I whipped up some peanut butter keto donuts 🍩 instead of going off keto and eating garbage lol
I literally laughed out loud when you said, "DON"T GOOGLE SHIT!" I thought I was the only one that used the term "Dr. Google" or "Dr YouTube" and yes, they WILL scare the crap out of you! Love how you're keeping it real! I've been using the Zero app and have completed 3 fasts … 2 of those lasting 20+ hrs. I feel great, but I'm having trouble adjusting it to my work schedule which flip flops from 2 morning shifts on Fri and Sat to 2 night shifts on Sun and Mon. so my eating window changes! I'll get it figured out! Seeing great results so I want to continue with the intermittent fasting.
It was probably just a change in your estrogen levels. You're good no worries! ❤❤❤
"Dr. Google, said to plan your funeral", had me laughing out loud!
Intermittent fasting can mess with your hormones if you are a woman.
Thanks for sharing.. I also am dealing with an apron after losing 70 pounds naturally and with 2 c-sections but I'll deal with it knowing it's just a battle scar from me kicking Obesity In The Ass!
Don't Google shit! Loves it! Girl we all have to learn that one the hard way. Step away from the Goggle! Since intermittent fasting is working so well for you, are you using sugar substitutes in your coffee while fasting? I know this is supposed to break a fast, but I was wondering if you used them or not, since you're having great results. Thanks love!
You look great girl! 💜 my period has been wonky too but the past 2 months I've been using the Lena cup and my cramps and the flow has not been as bad. tampons were drying me out and I had to change them every hour it was so heavy (TMI) Sorry Lol I love your channel especially because you keep it real and don't hide anything and that is awesome! Most ppl don't want to put that out there for the youtuby to know! So thank you for that!💜
My cycle has been normal as far as timing goes. I have heavier bleeding, a little worse PMS and sometimes the cramps are worse.
I have noticed after losing almost 50 pounds that my arms are getting a lot of lose skin. I had very large arms. It's crazy how you expect yourself to look after losing weight and you see something totally different in the mirror. I still have a lot to lose and I am only wanting to be healthy. I may not look how I want to look but I will not pick myself apart. Our self esteem issues are bad enough as women. I won't let my success make me feel bad because I don't look perfect. Nobody is. I had a moment with this when I was trying on new clothes over the weekend. I almost let it bring me down. Then I realized, I am doing amazing. I will not let my arms cause me to feel bad. They may never be small but I will be healthy. I will never be that overweight person again. Thanks for all of your honesty. Love watching your videos.
I would Love some help with my ket o plan, everything you talked about are i am also struggling with, but I am not comfortable giving my info with all is there an e mail or another more personal way I can have you help me???? Thank You c.ball
Girl I've had the same irregularity issue as well after my fourth c section it was time to get my tubes tied, and ever since I am so irregular to the point where I skip 2 months even. It sucks, but I honestly do blame it on the tubal ligation. I also have to agree with IF is is very popular now! I myself do it but I am more of a OMAD type. However it does get hard for sure so if I get hungry throughout the day before my meantime, 5-6 pm, I will definitely snack but not until after 11 am. I drink 1 gallon of water EVERYDAY and I have been having success for sure since mid to late February I've lost 30 lbs but from my highest which was in December '18 I have lost 40 lbs. I too do not plan on stopping. I know it even sounds real cliche but I have noticed my mood has changed since I've lost the weight, I use to be real cranky and snap real easily, and it's not like that anymore, THANK GOD!!! Lol
I haven't had any problems with my cycle and I've been eating keto for 22 months. Try checking out Dr. Mindy Pelz's channel, and Dr. Boz they are both women who also believe in keto but look at how it might affect women differently especially Dr. Pelz. If it continues maybe seeing your personal OB/GYN would be a good idea. Keto is helpful to some women who have hormonal issues like PCOS so it can affect our hormones. It's most likely just an adjustment period, but it's worth it to be certain.
Dr Google says 'plan your funeral' LOL so true! You're hilarious! 😂😂
It happens 🤷🏻♀ it's actually quite common

The Jewelry Designs for Men website has some beautiful rings and cufflinks for men that are sure to appeal to the techy crowd. These items all incorporate pieces of meteorite into the design. The ring shown is the 18K Gold Nine Planets Ring with Meteorite and Gemstones. The ring has an 18K backing with a complete band of the Gibeon meteorite. Nine gemstones, including irradiated blue diamond for Earth, ruby for Mars, opal for Jupiter, are embedded in the meteorite band to represent the nine planets. (I know – but don't tell me, tell the designer that Pluto isn't a planet anymore…) This ring is fabulously expensive at $3900 for the 10mm wide band and $3200 for the 8.5mm band, but they have other styles at other price points.

How acupressure works?
|Acupressure works directly with the body's energy flow or qi, same as acupuncture that uses needles. Since ancient times there is a believe and truth behind that all illnesses are a result of the natural flow of energy through the body becoming stuck, depleted or weakened and thus making the individual susceptible to illness. Acupressure benefits the balance's of qi through the treatment of specific acupoints known as trigger points to release the body related to symptoms or illness at present. Acupressure Treatment is effective in removing these energy obstructions. Each point is pressed and held by thumb and finger pressure for anything up to 90 seconds, you may experience a slight bruising sensation due to the blood flow being restricted which causes knots in our body's and this is where the chi is blocked. It will work by producing more oxygen into that point where blood can then circulate better around the body and create the healing process that our bodies are capable of achieving this through it's merdians that governs the whole of the body's systems.
