Melissa McCarthy is a big comedy star and can crank out a couple of movies a year now, like Jerry Lewis or Adam Sandler did back in their glory days. The Boss (out now on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD) is the latest film she's co-written with her director and husband Ben Falcone. Expanding on a character she created back in her improv days, The Boss follows the fall and rise of Michelle Darnell, a self-made business tycoon and motivational speaker.
Kristin Bell plays her long-suffering assistant, who's also the only person willing to help McCarthy's character after she goes to prison for insider trading. Peter Dinklage is her (long-ago) ex-boyfriend who's now become her fiercest business rival. There's a business comeback involving brownies and competition with an organization that looks a lot like the Girl Scouts.
There are character issues that almost derail the comeback and a lot of love/hate romantic tension between McCarthy and Dinklage. There's plenty of physical comedy and an extended fight scene between the rival girls groups as the movie's centerpiece scene.
The disk includes a videotaped version of the original Michelle Darnell sketch from McCarthy's Groundlings improv days. It's hilarious. There's also an alternate ending featuring a second street battle with a boys' group led by former WWE wrestler and Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista.

The countdown begins to Christmas! In the United Kingdom, the tinsel is being strung around the house, thick festive jumpers are being worn and warm mulled wine is being drunk. But what about the rest of the world? How do other countries celebrate Christmas?
In the United Kingdom, most British families celebrate Christmas together on the 25th of December – often to have a traditional Christmas lunch after having opened their presents in front of each other. However, Christmas is celebrated in the Netherlands on the 5th of December and for Russia and Ukraine, Christmas is celebrated on the 7th of January! Its also very common to see a Christmas tree in a British household, which was first popularized by Prince Albert. Prince Albert has german origins and he missed his own Christmas traditions, hence why he brought the Christmas tree to the British public. Whereas in India, people decorate mango and banana trees instead of fir trees, due to the hot climate, and Ukrainians decorate their trees with spider webs due to an old legend where a spider turned their webs into gold and silver for a poor family.
Christmas isn't just about the day itself – it is about the weeks leading up to it. The United Kingdom usually preps for Christmas by carol singing, festive markets, and Christmas fairy lights. On the 5th of December, German children leave shoes outside the house to be filled with sweets overnight. In Czech republic, single women, on Christmas Eve, will turn their backs to the house and throw a shoe over their shoulder to see whether they will find love or not next year. In Norway on Christmas Eve, there is the strict rule of no cleaning – all brooms are kept locked away in case they are stolen by witches. Finally, Japanese usually tuck into a bucket of KFC on Christmas eve due to a widespread ad campaign for the deep-fried fast-food in 1974.
British families will often eat turkey on Christmas day, accompanied by cranberry sauce, brussel sprouts and pigs-in-blankets and then finished off with a mince pie and some Christmas pudding. In South Africa, the Christmas delicacy is a deep-fried caterpillar of the Emperor Moth! Less unusual Christmas dishes are Romania's Ciorba de perisoara, a delicious vegetable broth with meatballs and another is Spanish turkey stuffed with truffles, often served with chorizo and mushrooms. For dessert on Christmas, Swedes will often eat a festive rice pudding that has an almond hidden in it – whoever finds it will supposedly be married within a year. Other Christmassy desserts are Philippine's moist rice-coconut-cheese cake, German Stollen fruit cake and Austrian's chocolate sponge with apricot jam – delicious!
We at the Online Book Company, wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Lance Armstrong has said he is "not surprised" that 18 top riders in the 1998 Tour de France have been named by the French Senate as having taken the blood-boosting agent EPO.
Armstrong said "virtually all of us" broke the rules on doping.
The French Senate has released the names of 18 riders including the top two in the 1998 Tour, Italian Marco Pantani and Germany's Jan Ullrich, who tested for EPO.
A further 13 riders were named as having suspicious samples.
Armstrong told www.cyclingnews.com: "My initial reaction is that I am not surprised. As I have said, it was an unfortunate era for all of us and virtually all of us broke the rules, and lied about it."
The results were analyses in 2004 and also revealed Armstrong tested positive for EPO in 1999. He has been stripped of his seven Tour titles but no action has been taken against the late Pantani and Ullrich who have kept their podium places.
"I will leave this up to other people and the passage of time to determine if the punishments doled out, or not, meet the crimes on any individual basis," added Armstrong, who reiterated his call for a truth and reconciliation commission to deal with doping.
He added: "If we don't come together, have the conversation and draw a line in the sand and then move on, we're all screwed."

John Hickenlooper on Education
Democratic Presidential Challenger (withdrew, Aug. 2019); CO Governor
We often forget about the 70% of kids in this country who are never going to get a four-year degree. We have backed away from all our vocational training at the very time when automation and artificial intelligence are going to turn our workplace upside-down. Now is the time to look at how do we make sure those kids get a chance to acquire the skills so that they can be successful in this rapidly evolving economy. In Colorado, we started with apprenticeship programs. Here's my vision. I think we should have the largest expansion of free skills and free community colleges in the history of this country.
Gov. John KASICH (R-OH): Gov. Hickenlooper and I have talked about the issue of entitlements, to get this problem of rising debt under control. This could be a good start.
HICKENLOOPER: [Our bipartisan model could apply to] almost anything. Look at the need to reinvent the way we do work force training: 2/3 of our kids are never going to get a 4-year college degree, and we really haven't been able to prepare them for an economy where the new generation of jobs require some technical capability. We need to look at apprenticeships. We need to look at all kinds of internships. That's the kind of thing that Republicans and Democrats could work on together. And go down the list, all the economic development work. Those are issues where we should be able to roll up our sleeves say, "we may disagree about this, but we all agree that we want to make sure that everybody has a chance to earn their own future."

Barcelona Connect has been an admirer of Harriet Wood's work for quite some time now. But don't just take our word for it… Young Miss Wood is credited as being one of the top 5 female graffiti artists in the UK by the Guardian newspaper, and one of the top 25 in the world by the Huffington Post.
Based here in Barcelona and better known in the urban art community as Hazard, her work is prominent throughout the city. She regularly displays work at the Jardines de les Tres Xemeneies.
Harriet is not only a famous name on the global graffiti art scene, she is also a superb digital graphic designer, print illustrator for T-shirts, does album artwork and poster design whilst also finding the time to teach both Urban and Fine Art in between her projects.
Hazard's work takes her around the world with regular projects at the Glastonbury Festival and has also worked on projects in Bristol, London, York, Leeds, Aberdeen, Barcelona, Nice, Toulouse, Amsterdam, Berlin, Gdansk and Tucson Arizona.
"The most rewarding aspect of my work is being involved with the communities in which I create artwork," said Harriet.
"My experience as an Urban Art tutor also means that I am able to share my skills and teach a variety of different groups from school children to seniors, students with disabilities and learning difficulties, individuals classed as NEET to young offenders, and alongside arts organisations such as the The Prince's Trust, Creative Youth Network and several UK City Councils," she added.
Hazard's next project is particularly exciting and helps to open up national and international dialogue through community art. Next March she is planning another visit to Arizona to assist in a street art mural project on the border region. She has launched a Kickstarter campaign as a call to action to help raise funds in order for her to contribute to a community arts project in the border town of Ajo, Arizona.
"The fundraiser is to help me gather the amount needed to travel to Ajo and take part in the Street Art Mural Project on the border region of Arizona in March 2017," Harriet told us. "It's not a revenue generator for me personally, so if I don't raise the full amount, then the project is a non-starter. A sad, but true fact of life unfortunately," she added.
"The aim is to provide Ajo with artists to occupy and decorate the buildings situated in this unique place in the Sonoran Desert to promote socially engaged practice and community based arts. Using street art to enhance the surroundings, it provides an opportunity for public interaction and community conversation," she stated.
Now more prominent than ever, the project – a coming together of artists, diverse in culture, disciplines and practice – started on the intersection of three nations, the United States, the Tohono O'odham Nation and Mexico.
The fundraising goal is €3500 (£3000). The funds cover all the logistical costs and equipment costs to enable Hazard to create a huge hand painted mural in Ajo, Arizona in March 2017. Readers can help her achieve this vision here.

A holy grail! This is one of Marcos Valle's best-ever albums – and it's certainly the one to best realize the larger scope he was heading for in the years after the bossa – that sublime mix of jazz and more expansive arrangements – a perfect fit for the growing sophistication of Valle's songwriting. The record is fantastic – done with a sweeping sound that still leaves us breathless after all these years – and put together with an approach to composition that is virtually indescribable. There's a huge amount of influences running through here, and the album is proof that Valle was one of Brazil's richest talents, never ceasing to perfect and transform his craft – even long after he could have rested on the laurels of his success! Tracks include "Democustico", "Revolucao Organica", "Vento Sul", "Paisagem De Mariana", and "Pista O2". © 1996-2020, Dusty Groove, Inc.
We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
This is what it says, that the record is still held fast in shrink-wrap. We tend to be pretty suspicious about these things, so if the shrink-wrap doesn't look original, or if the record seems to have undergone some damage over time, we'll probably take it out of the wrapper to ensure that it's in good shape — which is why we don't have more of these. In some cases the shrink-wrap may be torn in spots, but if it's not possible the record has been taken out and played, the record will still qualify as "Sealed".
Dusty Groove does not use the grades of Near Mint (or Mint, for that matter) because in our experience, we find that no records ever qualify for such a high grade. Even sealed records tend to have one or two slight faults, enough to usually qualify them for a grade of NM- or lower. We've often found that records which are clearly unplayed will have a slight amount of surface noise, especially in quieter recordings.
This is a grade we rarely use, as we try not to sell records in very bad condition, though in some rare cases we will list a record in such bad shape that it does not conform to the standards above. A "Fair" record will have enough marks or significant flaws that it does not even qualify as "Good", but is a copy you might consider for playing, if you're willing to put up with noise and/or flaws. An example might be a recording with surface noise so heavy that it is equal to the volume of the music. For records listed as "Fair", we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments.
Like "Fair", we rarely list records in this condition, as they represent the extreme low end of spectrum. These records typically have multiple serious problems, and we offer them as "relics" or "objects" only — for those who want to at least have a copy of a record, even if it is not really worthy of play, perhaps for the cover alone. For these records, we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments.
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible.
When you purchase a Used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use but if there are significant details or defects we will list them underneath the item — just like we do with LPs — so look there for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details.
All of our Used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. If you purchase a Used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not, then you may return it for a full refund.

The Edge of Cyber
Indicted Pakistani IT Staffer Discovered On 31 Congressional Democrats' Payrolls
|Martin Barillas
|July 27th 2017
GOP chair Ronna Romney McDaniel has demanded that former Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) testify before Congress on Imran Awan. Awan was arrested on Monday on bank fraud charges. He remained on Wasserman Schultz's Congressional payroll even though he had been under investigation since February. Awan is an IT specialist who, along with his brother and their wives, had access to sensitive computer files and emails.
Awan was caught at Dulles International Airport near Washington DC where he was seeking to flee the country and join his wife, who has already flown the coop. He had worked for Congress for more than a decade. Federal agents found that he had wired hundreds of thousands of dollars to his native Pakistan. Some of those funds may have been fraudulently obtained. McDaniel said that Awan and family received over $4 million of taxpayer money between 2005 and 2009.
There were 31 Democrats in the House that utilized the services of Imran and associates:
Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH)
Rep. Julia Brownley (D-CA)
Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN)
Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO)
Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-OH)
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY)
Rep. Robin Kelly (D-IL)
Rep. Donald McEachin (D-VA)
Rep. John Sarbanes (D-MD)
Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA)
Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL)
Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA)
Rep. Daniel Kildee (D-MI)
Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY)
Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH)
Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA)
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL)
Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-CA)
Rep. Julia Brownley (D-CA)
Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX)
Rep. Robin Kelly (D-IL)
Rep. Dave Loebsack (D-IA)
Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-LA)
Rep. Mark Takano (D-CA)
Rep. Tony Cardenas (D-CA)
Rep. Katherine Clark (D-MA)
Rep. Lois Frankel (D-FL)
Rep. Sander Levin (D-MI)
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA)
Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE)
Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-FL)
Rep. Darren Soto (D-FL) McDaniel wants Wasserman Schultz to testify before a congressional committee about what she knows. It is not clear whether she will be willing to come before her colleagues to explain why kept Awan on the payroll. Wasserman Schultz resigned her job with the DNC last summer in the midst of leaks of DMC emails and the resulting controversy. Awan had worked for Wasserman Schultz since 2004. He was not fired until after news broke that he was arrested while fleeing the country.
Federal agents picked up Imran Awan, the Pakistani-born IT vendor for Wasserman Schultz, at the airport attempting to flee the country on Tuesday night. He had just wired hundreds of thousands of dollars to Pakistan in his effort to escape scrutiny. He has been under investigation for some time. The staffer was on Wasserman Schultz's payroll since 2004 until Tuesday night and was not fired until after he was arrested in an attempt to flee the country.
McDaniel is worried that Awan may have had access to national security information, as well as data relevant to the ongoing investigations into supposed connections between the Trump campaign and Russian officials. McDaniel said she wants to know what access he had to DNC servers and to Wasserman Schultz's servers and computers. McDaniel is also calling on Democrats, Members of Congress and staff alike, to testify before relevant committees.
McDaniel complained that Democrats are obstructing investigations.She also said that Wasserman Schultz threatened a Capitol Hill police officer while protecting Awan.
On Fox Business News, McDaniel was interviewed by host Maria Bartiromo. McDaniel said, "[Wasserman Schultz] kept him on her staff. He was a taxpayer-funded government employee until yesterday when she finally fired him. We need to figure out why he's under criminal investigation and we're not hearing that across the country right now." She added, "We have to get to the bottom of this, and Debbie Wasserman Schultz has obstructed at every level on something that affects potentially our national security. We are not hearing the Democrats talk about it at all. Where's Debbie Wasserman Schultz?"
Another Republican expressing security concerns in the widening Awan investigation is Rep. Steve King of Iowa. King said that facts in the case are not clear. He said, "If the reports are right, if these three individuals…drew down, over this period of time, $4 million and Debbie Wasserman Schultz had a part-time employee who's making $165,000 that she just fired – what – yesterday afternoon?" King mused with Breitbart podcast Curt Schilling.
Awan's family ties to Pakistan, possible involvement with the Hezbollah terrorist organization, and reports of smashed computer hard-drives and years of access to House Democrats' computer systems, are raising alarms on the Hill. King said of the issue: "They had access to the information on the multiple clients that they had, and that number is nearly a score, as I recall, they would have had access to all the information that came through all those computers in all those offices and access to…all the communications of the foreign affairs committee."
Breitbart host Schilling said in reply, "I think this could be an enormous act of treason with a lot of people complicit."
Awan is accused of giving false information to the Congressional Federal Credit Union while seeking a loan. On Tuesday, he pleaded not guilty to one count of bank fraud and was released. He is required to wear a GPS monitor, remain within 50 miles of his current home, and abide by a curfew. He was told to surrender all of his passports.
Awan is due back in court on August 21 for a preliminary hearing. His wife is now in Pakistan. Awan, his wife, and three other men — Awan's relatives Abid Awan and Jamal Awan, and friend Rao Abbas — have been under investigation by Capitol Police since February 2017 for allegedly stealing equipment from various House Democrats and misuse of the House's internet technology system.
Awan has hired Chris Gowen as legal counsel. Gowen has long been associated with Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton. Gowen described Awan's arrest as "clearly a right-wing media-driven prosecution by a United States Attorney's Office that wants to prosecute people for working while Muslim."

"ProPak Vietnam 2016 is the biggest since its launch in 2005," BT Tee, deputy chief of the Viet Nam representative office of Singapore Exhibition Services, the organiser, told a press conference on Wednesday, referring to the processing and packaging exhibition.
"The exhibition has progressively grown through the years and is a positive reflection of Viet Nam's industrial growth."
There will be 350 exhibitors this year and seven international pavilions from China, Italy, Germany, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand.
They will showcase processing and packaging equipment and machinery, packaging materials and accessories, processing and packaging services, and quality control and training.
There will also be a series of conferences and workshops like the Food Safety, Processing and Packaging Innovations conference hosted by the Viet Nam Association of Food Science and Technology, and a seminar on Trace Chemicals Monitoring, Control and Removal Techniques in Water Used in the Food Processing Industry hosted by the Viet Nam Association of Testing Laboratory.
The Plastics and Rubber Vietnam 2016, the other exhibition, comes at a time when manufacturing activity in the country is robust, driving consumption of plastic products in diverse industries ranging from automobiles and electronics to packaging, according to the organisers.
The biennial event will see the largest ever Austrian pavilion in the region besides six other country groups from Italy, Germany, China, South Korea, and the UK.

Jim Chu is a 32 year veteran with the Vancouver Police Department. He leads a team of 1700 sworn and civilian employees in one of the most challenging and diverse cities in Canada to police. He was born in Shanghai, China and is the first Chief in Canada of Asian descent. He has demonstrated extraordinary leadership and consensus building, and has built widespread support in various communities, including business, racial/cultural, gay/lesbian, and from those serving the marginalized. Through various strategies including groundbreaking reports, he has skillfully advocated for social and legislative change on issues such as a lack of capacity in the mental health system, sentencing for chronic offenders, the need for coordination of resources in the Downtown Eastside, and the problem of criminals migrating to Vancouver because of "non-returnable warrants". He initiated the regional response to the 2009 "Gang War" in Metro Vancouver that resulted in a dramatic reduction in gang violence in Vancouver. During the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, the exceptional conduct of the VPD under Chief Chu's leadership brought widespread local, national and international praise. He was a key architect of the national Police Information Portal system which currently facilitates information sharing across Canada. A strong advocate for the use of information technology in law enforcement, he has published numerous articles as well as a book on information technology and policing, and shared his expertise at conferences in North America, Europe and the Middle East. In 2007 he was invested by the Governor General as an Officer of the Order of Merit for the Police Forces.

Accessorize with Men's Jewelry from Groupon
Of all the jewelry and watches on Groupon, men's jewelry is perhaps the boldest in terms of style and materials. Many pieces of jewelry for men manage to toe the line between rugged and elegant by shaping such materials as leather and titanium into iconic designs evoking classical fine jewelry. And the pieces tend to stick to timeless styles, too, as seen in the enduring popularity of the gold chain necklace. On the left-hand menu, you can filter the selection by material, price range, or metal type, as well as narrow down any category to include your favorite brands such as Steve Madden or Triton.
Manly MaterialsUnlike women's engagement rings, in which a diamond is usually the centerpiece, men's rings tend to keep things simple—at first glance. Instead of gem inlays, men's wedding bands may draw the eye with unconventional materials such as onyx, white tungsten, or stainless steel, while even more traditional gold rings may do so with flashy symbols such as lions and skulls. Likewise, men's bracelets display your creative side with braided leather or steel links layered with black rubber. Suit accessories are generally intended to complement formalwear, but sometimes a pair of steel cufflinks with Mother of Pearl inlay can add a playful accent to french cuffs.
Silver and GoldDespite so many funky materials, men's jewelry still has its fair share of timeless items made with classic metals, such as silver earrings glittering with cubic zirconia. The gold standard for men's necklaces remains the classic chain, and you'll find plenty on Groupon—from Italian 14K gold chains to diamond-cut chains in the pavé Cuban style. For a more unique presentation, stand out by sporting diamond-cut rosaries and silvertone crosses or personalized jewelry for men such as dog tags and monograms.

Next week marks JCU's spring break, and many of our students are celebrating the end of midterms and the arrival of spring with well-deserved vacations throughout Europe, Africa, and even the Middle East. Although Rome's proximity to so many incredible destinations makes travel an attractive option for our students, there is still plenty to do for students who remain in Rome this week.
Here are some great options for students who choose to stay local:
March 18th – April 7th: CulturaCibo on Food & Italy's Identity
Food is not only material: it is also cultural. This holds true nowhere more than in Italy, a country that values beauty, either art or good food. Curated by Italy's top food historian, Massimo Montanari, the Rome Vittoriano complex is hosting a free exhibition on the role of food in Italian identity. The showing allows spectators to travel through the centuries in the fields, the kitchens and the dishes of Italians. You'll learn, for instance, that there is no such thing as a "spaghetti Bolognese" or "Alfredo Sauce" in Italy and why they are perceived to be quintessentially Italian abroad.
March 31: NINFA Gardens
Just south of Rome, the beautiful Ninfa Gardens will re-open after winter closure on March 31. After centuries of ruin, marshes and malaria, Ninfa was brought back to its original glory in the 20th century. Ninfa was designated a Natural Monument of the Italian Republic in 2000 and dubbed the most beautiful garden in the world by the New York Times. Take a day trip to Ninfa to relax and enjoy the scenery!
Daily: Borgo Pio
With just 3,500 inhabitants, Borgo Pio stands right next to the Vatican and looks like a small village with its quiet narrow alleys, low-rising buildings and a lovely pedestrian-only area. But for centuries it was populated by many different national communities of Catholics who lived beyond the river, on the other shore of downtown Rome. One of the buildings that you will admire while here, S. Spirito in Sassia, was actually meant to provide shelter to Saxon pilgrims. The executioner of the Popes lived here as the Vatican was a state that enforced the death penalty, in addition to many prostitutes who wanted to be close to their best clients: the bishops and cardinals of the Roman Curia.
Sundays from 7am to 2pm: Porta Portese Market
Porta Portese is the massive flea market that takes over Trastevere every Sunday from 7am to 2pm. The vendors have a wide variety of goods, including antiques, coins, books, furniture, clubbing clothes, fake designer purses, home decor items, jewelry, and a sprinkling of everything else. Most vendors are willing to bargain, with actual selling prices 10% to (if you're an outstanding bargainer on a slow day) as much as 30% off. Most vendors speak several languages and those who don't are very forgiving of broken Italian. There are even a few places to sit and eat while you compare bargains or watch the crowds pass by. The flea market occupies both sides of the street for MANY blocks parallel to the Tiber. It could take literally hours to see everything, and while there is a lot of junk, the serious shopper will go home with one or two real treasures. Bartering and patience is a must!
Daily: The MACRO Museum and Market
If you prefer a market for fresh produce and meats, check out the new Testaccio Market right across from the MACRO museum. The market has just been newly built, replacing an older version. It is now a covered complex, making it look quite modern.
Rome's MACRO (Museum of Contemporary Art in Rome) has converted Testaccio's former slaughterhouse into a multispace venue for visual and performance art. The complex hosts exhibitions, performances, and events including RomaContemporary, the annual contemporary art fair. MACRO Pelanda is the Testaccio complex's exhibition, laboratory, residence, and artist workspace. MACRO Testacctio is open until midnight.

So I turn 26 on December 2nd.
This year has been…… interesting.
I don't even know where to begin so maybe I should show you my presents first. I'm a pretty big "birthday person" overall, not gonna lie. I enjoy presents and fusses and the whole nine yards! 😉 And I'm EXTREMELY excited about this year's haul and plans! The things I'm putting in this post are the ones I chose myself and then and pulled a "hey you can buy me this for my birthday" on. Obviously the actual day is still a week away, so I'll have to provide some updates on everything!
My mom is getting me an amazing faux cow rug, which I am super excited about! It's unfortunately sold out (glad we acted when we did!) but it's similar in style to this one. I'd been wanting a cow rug since the move and when Nordstrom rack had one at a "main birthday present" price tag instead of an "OUCH" price tag, I knew it had to be mine!
She got me these cute tops from Nordstrom Rack too:
She is also taking me and Stephen to Ruth's Chris happy hour on my birthday!!! I can't wait!
The big celebration, however, is going to be TOMORROW!!! My friend Andrea and I are throwing a joint birthday party at The Canopy. We named it Sagittarius Fest 2016 and it's going to be such a blast!!!
I seriously cannot wait.
Stephen and his buddy Adam (Andrea's husband!) are throwing the party for us, and the four of us are having dinner beforehand.
Speaking of my handsome hubby, he also got me some clothes. 😉
I got the velvet dress in black; it just won't show up in the widget! Can you tell I'm into the velvet trend?! I got the basic dresses for days I work at the boutique and the velvet PJs and Wifey nightie for the days I work from home. I also can't wait to get all Lolita with the frilly socks. Maybe I'll actually manage to swing an outfit post one of these days. It's been awhile but photo editing takes forever. I have so much respect for women who work full time AND blog semi full time AND often have kiddos to boot. Like, what?! How? Hats off to those girls!
Anyway this post is about me and my birthday so let's talk about that again. 😉
It's been an unusual year.
In some ways I feel like I haven't done much, but I guess it was hard to follow up
*age 24*~~ }]
First and foremost, I got married to the man of my dreams at age 24! Nothing can really compete with that.
Secondly, I catapulted to heights of the fashion world I would have never imagined possible. When I signed with my mother agency at age almost-24, I thought I'd maybe work a local shoot or two. And somehow I spent 4.5 months of age 24 in NYC and Milan. Whoa.
Granted, being 24 was also exhausting.
It's exhausting to plan a wedding. It's exhausting to be away from the man you're about to marry/just married. The stress on your body from modeling is exhausting, and I've finally gotten to the point where I can admit to myself and loved ones that I struggled with something that felt sort of like an eating disorder during most of age 24.
I concluded age 24 with a bittersweet move from SF back to the South. Far, far, far more sweet than bitter, but still a big change.
So wow, @ age 24…you held lot of things!!!
Age 25 was less, uh, idk, just less:
Eight months in NC. Blogging, emotional breakdowns, P90x, and a little bit of content creation for Stephen's company.
Our 1 year anniversary. <3
Getting hired part-time at a local boutique and starting as a Juice Plus+ rep.
Questioning where I want to go with my modeling dreams vs. being more "settled."
More emotional breakdowns. (By the way, there were plenty at age 24 too. But they seemed more justified when life was busier and intenser. The non-career woman, non-wedding planning, mostly-just-a-housewife breakdowns of age 25 sometimes hurt worse because I felt like a useless brat to boot.)
Me wondering why my family put up with my self-indulgent sh*t.
Them assuring me I'm a wonderful person and deserve their love.
Me crying harder when they say those things.
Sooo yeah….. age 25, y'all. Not as exciting. But also pivotal somehow.
I hope age 26 is when it all starts to come together.
I'd love to have the excitement of age 24 while retaining the growth of age 25. While carrying with me the knowledge that I can completely lose it and my family will still be there.
That was really powerful.
I can lose my source of income and my husband will pay our bills and still call me "The most amazing Wifey Snous in the world" because I made him dinner. Sometimes just because I'm sitting on the couch in my robe watching Pretty Little Liars.
I can spend countless hours on a little blog that brings me joy, and my parents will read every post and tell me they're proud, rather than asking "Okay what now? You gonna do something with that degree?". I can cry a 876794th time to my mom about my body struggles, then immediately berate myself for not being "over it yet" yet every single time, she says in soothing melodic German, "Maya, it takes time to heal. Life trauma comes in all different forms, and you have the right to process yours." I can rope my sister into yet another repetitive, "What should I do with my life?" conversation and she'll still offer her calm, proactive insights.
It makes me feel safe.
I've always been the girl with her you-know-what together and this past year it was SO. NOT. TOGETHER.
That was foreign. I mean, there were times in the past I felt like I wasn't doing enough, but it was more in an "I'm being tough on myself but anyone from the outside looking in would have probably said I was 'succeeding'" kind of way. The past year was different. I wouldn't say I hit "rock bottom" but I was definitely banging my knees in the shallows. This proved humbling but strangely confidence-boosting at the same time. I think having a new swimming experience in your Life Portfolio always increases your confidence…? I don't know.
I'd like to know more this year.
More about what I want, and where I'm going career-wise.
I'd like to do more. I'd like to travel more (for pleasure. with Stephen. and perhaps for work but if so, in shorter patches of time). I'd like to earn a (much) larger income.
I'd like to be more of a peer to Stephen instead of a weepy mess who needs constant comforting. I mean, I will always be a sensitive human. I know he loves that about me, and I think I love it about myself too…to a degree.
And I love that he's my rock. That he's generous, hardworking, selfless, protective, positive.
But I want to be stronger. I've scraped the foundations of my spirit raw this past year, and I'm ready to move forward. I'm ready to build things from the ground up, without tossing away the key pieces of vintage furniture that simply need smoothing and refinishing in order to shine again. In fact, I hope I already did most of that smoothing and refinishing during age 25!
God willing, I would love to have the best of both worlds.
I'd love to model without being away from myself.
Oh my goodness. That was a Freudian slip!!!!
I meant to type "my husband" and my fingers said "myself."
I mean I hate to be cheesy, but
(Wait who am I kidding, I'm always a bit cheesy lol… )
That's the thing though: Stephen and I became one on August 29, 2015. He is a huge part of who I am. Being away from him (for long stretches of time, at least) is being away from myself.
Feeling hate and disgust and fascination and animal attraction toward food is being away from myself. The real Maya Trevathan loves food and wine and dessert. (Yes I know "dessert" is "food" but it deserves its own category 😉 )
I'm not saying I wouldn't travel at all. I'm not saying I'm not willing to be thin. In fact, travel and fitness and good nutrition are all passions of mine. And let's be real, I strove to be thin long before I was a model.
But I would love to model around here for the most part, rather than navigating the lonely luminous lure of the big fashion cities.
Bealls is here, Home Shopping Network is here, and between St. Pete, Tampa and Orlando there are likely plenty of opportunities for an experienced, hardworking, personable model who'd love to have a healthy relationship with food and sleep in the same bed with her husband.
Is it possible to have the best of both worlds?
Only 26 will tell…
(Well I guess 27 and 28 and 29 and beyond will too.)
In the meanwhile I plan on working for those dreams, working on myself, and trusting my generous and guidance-providing God.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! And to my fellow Sagittarius babes: Happy (probably early) Birthday!!
xx Maya
p.s. I wrote most of this a few days ago, and have been hoping to fix the current issue with my site before publishing. As you can see, I haven't. 🙁 But I wanted to post this anyway, so cheers to getting a bit Unmarketed with it!
Also, I woke up at 2:30 am and couldn't go back to sleep so I also shopped the Macy's Black Friday Sale!
- Obsessed with this Swiss dot turtleneck!!! (I got in in black!) I can already picture it with a topknot or tight ponytail and red lips.
- I figured it was time for a new cashmere sweater, especially since you can't beat $39.99! I got this in black, and can't wait to wear it in Colorado for our ski trip.
- I figured I'd throw this cute fleece cowlneck (I got heather grey!) into my current workout/athleisure mix 🙂
- You can't beat the deal on this set of sheets–$29.99 for 800 thread count!! They were originally $160!
- These Ralph Lauren pillows were only $6.99! Before going to sleep last night, Stephen and I actually talked about how we needed new pillows, so the timing was perfect.
Please excuse how ugly the widget looks! I promise the items are super pretty in the colors I picked 🙂

Yirmeyah 6 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)
6 O ye Bnei Binyamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Yerushalayim, and blow the shofar in Tekoa, and kindle the fire signal on Beit HaKerem; for ra'ah (evil, disaster) appeareth out of the tzafon (north), and shever gadol (great destruction).
2 Bat Tziyon, so beautiful and delicate, I will destroy.
3 The ro'im (shepherds) with their flocks shall come unto her; they shall pitch their ohalim against her all around; they shall pasture each his portion.
4 Prepare ye milchamah against her; arise, and let us go up to attack at noon. Oy unto us! For the yom fadeth away, for the shadows of erev are lengthening.
5 Arise, and let us attack ba'lailah, and let us destroy her fortresses.
6 For thus hath Hashem Tzva'os said, Cut ye down trees, and throw up a solelah (siege ramp) against Yerushalayim; this is the Ir that must be visited [for punishment]; oshek (oppression) is rampant within her.
7 As a well casteth afresh her waters, so she [Jerusalem] casteth afresh her rah (wickedness); chamas and shod (destruction) is heard in her; before Me tamid (continually) is sickness and wounds.
8 Be thou warned, O Yerushalayim, lest My nefesh depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, an eretz not inhabited.
9 Thus saith Hashem Tzva'os, They shall thoroughly glean the She'erit Yisroel (the Remnant of Israel) as a gefen (vine); turn back thine yad once again like a grape gatherer over the vine tendrils.
10 To whom can I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? Hinei, their ear is arelah (uncircumcised), and to pay heed is beyond them; hinei, the Devar Hashem is unto them a reproach; they find no pleasure in it.
11 Therefore I am full of the chamat Hashem; I am weary with holding in; I will pour it out upon the olal in the street, and upon the assembly of bocherim together; for even the ish with the isha shall be caught, the zaken, those weighed down with yamim (days).
12 And their batim (houses) shall be turned over unto others, with their sadot and nashim together; for I will stretch out My yad upon the Yoshvei HaAretz (Inhabitants of the Land), saith Hashem.
13 For from the katan of them even unto the gadol of them, every one is given to greediness for unjust gain; and from the navi even unto the kohen, every one doeth sheker (deceit, falsehood).
14 They have provided superficial treatment for Ami, saying, Shalom, shalom; v'ein shalom.
15 Were they ashamed when they had committed to'evah (abomination)? They were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush; therefore they shall fall among them that fall; at the time that I visit them [in punishment] they shall be brought down, saith Hashem.
16 Thus saith Hashem, Stand ye in the derakhim (crossroads), and look, and ask for the netivot olam (old paths), where is the derech hatov (good road, way), and walk therein, and ye shall find margo'a (rest) for your nefashot. But they said, We will not walk therein.
17 Also I set tzofim (watchmen) over you, saying, Pay heed to the kol shofar (sound of the shofar). But they said, We will not pay heed.
18 Therefore hear, ye Goyim, and know, O Edah (Congregation), what will happen to them.
19 Hear, HaAretz (O Earth); hinei, I will bring ra'ah (evil, disaster) upon HaAm Hazeh, even the p'ri (fruit) of their machsh'vot (schemes), because they have not paid heed unto My devarim, nor to My torah, but rejected it.
20 To what purpose cometh there to Me frankincense from Sheva [i.e., southwest Arabia], and the sweet cane from a far country? Your olot (burnt offerings) are not acceptable, nor your zevakhim pleasing unto Me.
21 Therefore thus saith Hashem, Hineni, I will lay michsholim (stumblingblocks) before HaAm HaZeh, and the Avot and the Banim together shall stumble upon them; the shakhen (neighbor) and his re'a (neighbor, friend) shall perish.
22 Thus saith Hashem, Hinei, Am (an Army, a people) cometh from the eretz tzafon, and a Goy Gadol is aroused from the ends of the earth.
23 They shall lay hold of keshet (bow) and kidon (spear); they are cruel, and have no mercy; their kol (voice) roareth like the yam; and they ride upon susim, set in array as ish for milchamah against thee, O Bat Tziyon.
24 We have heard the fame thereof; our hands hang limp; tzarah (anguish) hath taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in labor.
25 Go not forth into the sadeh, nor walk by the derech; for the cherev of the oyev (enemy) and magur (fear, terror) is on every side.
26 O Bat Ami, gird thee with sackcloth, and roll thyself in ashes; make thee evel (mourning), as for a yachid (only son), most bitter lamentation; for the shoded (destroyer) shall suddenly come upon us.
27 I have set thee for a bachon (tester, assayer) of Ami (My People); that thou mayest know and test their derech (way, conduct).
28 They are all maximum rebels, going about as rachil (talebearers, slanderers); they are nechoshet and barzel; they are all corrupt.
29 The bellows blow, the oferet (lead) is consumed by the eish; the smelter's refining is in vain; for the ra'im are not drawn off.
30 Nimas kesef (reprobate silver, rejected silver) shall men call them, because Hashem hath rejected them.

In this chapter, some of the 'fearful and wonderful complexity' of pain is conveyed, by: ++ outlining a contemporary definition of pain that is contrary to conventional definitions but which integrates the huge amount of research that has been undertaken since our conventional definitions were established introducing the idea of nociception and describing some of what is known about the biological mechanisms that underpin nociception providing a conceptual framework with which to make sense of pain within the context of clinical practice. ++ WHAT IS PAIN? ++ Almost everyone experiences pain. Those who do not experience pain, as the rest of us know it, are at a distinct disadvantage in life and are likely to die young without living fast. Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience that is felt in the body and motivates us to do something to escape it. These two characteristics of pain—its unpleasantness and its anatomical focus—are what makes it such an effective protector. ++ Pain alerts us to tissue damage or the threat thereof. Pain makes us seek care. Pain stops us competing, keeps us seeking a cure, compels us to prioritise pain relief above almost everything else. That's the rub—pain changes our behaviour. In fact, if the brain concludes that there is something more important than protecting a body part then it makes the executive decision to not produce pain. Therein lies the key to really understanding pain; it is as simple and as difficult as this—if the brain concludes that a body part is in danger and needs protecting and you, the organism, ought to know about it, then the brain will make that body part hurt.2 ++ There is a critical caveat here, one that was overlooked in the fourth edition of this book. This convention to ascribe pain to the brain is flawed, because a brain, on its own, almost certainly would not and probably could not, produce pain. This position has been criticised, with merit and additional pieces have been authored that critique it.3 The caveat, then, is this: to attribute it all ...

As a long time fan of CHANEL's Glossimer glosses, I admit to feeling nervous upon learning that the brand was eliminating the range in order to make way for the new Rouge Coco Gloss, but I worried needlessly: this reformulated version is amazing. Available in 24 luscious shades along with 3 Top Coats, they're everything I want & expect my glosses to be … sounds pretty extravagant, but it also happens to be true.
Follow @ommorphia YouTube ♦ Instagram ♦ Facebook ♦ Twitter ♦ Pinterest ♦ Bloglovin'
Rouge Coco Gloss (CAN $37.00/each) | Available in 24 shades and several different finishes that include: intense, iridescent, transparent, and lacquered, these glosses bear a 'melt-away' texture to meld with the lips without leaving any tacky or sticky feeling behind. The applicator has been given a revamp as well, and now comes in a wider 'cocoon' shape to make application even easier from the very first swipe — a good thing too, as the previous applicator was a bit of a pain to work with. Other changes include improved pigmentation and a new HYDRABOOST Complex: natural waxes of jojoba, sunflower & mimosa, as well as touches of coconut oil derivative are there to deliver instant comfort and long-lasting hydration. The gel-like finish is also unbelievable and comes complete with a film-forming polymer as well as a natural-origin volumizing oligopeptide to add a slight lip-plumping effect (just don't expect major inflation).

Rouge Coco Gloss Top Coat (CAN $37.00/each) | There are 3 shades in this category (774 Excitation not shown), and while they can be worn on their own, these have been designed to be layered over other lip products. Impulsion is meant to enhance colour while Caviar is supposed to intensify, but what I really see is that they each help to create some new & unique shade, thereby making both quite versatile as well as a great customization product.
- 726 Icing – icy pink
- 712 Melted Honey – soft nude with ultrafine silver & gold shimmer
- 166 Physical – soft apricot/pink with ultrafine gold shimmer
- 119 Bourgeoisie – fawn rose with ultrafine pink & silver shimmer
- 748 Nectar – sheer coral/pink
- 172 Tendresse – rosewood with ultrafine pink shimmer
- 776 Impulsion, limited edition (Top Coat Incandescent) – sheer tangerine with finely ground shimmer
- 778 Caviar, limited edition (Top Coat Intense) – sheer charcoal with finely ground shimmer
The centre swatch (below) shows a combination of Caviar over Charlotte Tilbury's Kim K.W, a shade that is much too pale & editorial looking for me to wear on its own. By adding a layer of Caviar on top, it created that milky & almost dirty nude/pink type of colour that I absolutely love — perfect example of how versatile a black gloss can be, wouldn't you say?
To be fair, I was actually surprised by how sheer some of the shades applied, especially when seeing how colour-saturated they appear in the tube, but that works for me as I prefer my glosses to show some natural lip underneath. Speaking of which, my lips are rather pigmented on their own, so quite a few of the glosses initially seem quite similar applied, but as some lean cool while others veer warm combined with varying shimmer factors (or not), I see enough differences to keep me happy. Bottom line: these are probably the best performing glosses — with regards to how they feel and look — that I've worn in a long time, and have already earned a top spot in my favourites list. ∗runs out to get the rest∗

Barbara Walters is finally speaking out on the future of The View following the abrupt firings of hosts Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy.
"I don't know. ... I'm not sure. I know The View will continue," the talk show's creator toldExtra. "I don't think we have a new direction yet. I think we have time."
After 17 years at the table, Walters retired from The View in May. Last week, the series announced Shepherd and McCarthy would not return next year, leaving Whoopi Goldberg as the sole remaining host.

Model/hedge funds exiting AUD longs as market vols spike
The main driver behind the AUD selling this week would seem to be related to the sharp increase in market volatility.
Model funds and hedge funds had built large AUD long positions across the board in recent weeks and months, while vols were at record lows. As soon as vols started to spike, the position signals would have reversed, and trailing stops would have been set. Once these stops started going off, they started to feed on each other, leading to the AUD rout.
When these events are happening, fundamentals like the strong Australian jobs data are simply ignored.

A New Jersey school district has suspended a teacher after yearbook photos of two high school students were edited to remove Trump logos and slogans from their clothing.
According to NBC Philadelphia, Wall Township School Superintendent Cheryl Dyer confirmed that the yearbook's adviser was suspended Monday pending an investigation.
It is still unclear as to who edited the photos and why.
CNN reports that one student at Walt Township High School, Grant Berardo, noticed that his "Trump: Make America Great Again" shirt had been edited to look like a plain T-shirt.
"He was disappointed. This was the first election he has been interested in," Grant's father, Joseph Berardo, said, according to the network.
The school was put on blast and accused of censorship.
According to the Berardos, before picture day last fall, Berardo and his wife spoke to their son about wearing the shirt and agreed that it was fine. When they got the photo proofs in November, the Trump logo was there, and they approved its use for the yearbook. However, when the yearbooks were released this spring, the very obvious logo was gone.
"I want the yearbooks to be reissued and I want a letter from the administration explaining why they are reissuing the yearbook," Joseph Berardo said.
And Grant Berardo wasn't the only one who had his Trump gear edited. A similar but smaller logo ended up missing from junior Wyatt Dobrovich-Fago's vest. Moreover, his sister Montana, who is the freshman class president, had quoted Trump for the yearbook, and that was also edited out.
Montana Dobrovich-Fago had submitted the Trump quote, "I like thinking big. If you're going to be thinking anything, you might as well think big," to appear under her photo. Instead, there was nothing.
"I want to know who thought it was OK to do this," Janet Dobrovich-Fago, the siblings' mother, said. "I want the school to seek disciplinary action and to be held accountable."
Dyer sent a letter to parents Friday letting them know that she was looking into the issue.
"There is nothing in our student dress code that would prevent a student from expressing his or her political views and support for a candidate for political office via appropriate clothing. Rather, I applaud students for becoming involved in politics and for participation in our democratic society," she wrote. "The high school administration was not aware of and does not condone any censorship of political views on the part of our students. This includes statements that they might make or clothing with references to candidates for public office that they might wear."

Buzz meeting Notes: 9/6/2018
1) Thanks to those who volunteered to maintain their positions within the club and Congratulations to the newly elected officers. We look forward to another successful year. We are still looking for someone to take the competition Coordinator position.
a. President: Tim Shilling
b. Vice President: Adam Smith – Newly elected
c. Secretary: Eric Bushell – Newly elected
d. Treasurer: Mattox Beckman
e. Cooper: Bryan Antoniuk – Newly elected
f. Competition Coordinator:
2) Dues – Mattox will be working on setting up an account through PayPal just for this and other future purchases for the club (glassware, competitions, etc.). The dues will be $10 again this year. Once the account is set up, a link will be emailed/added to the forum. Please pay this as soon as possible, as we have to purchase insurance again and we need a proper head count.
3) Shirt order and logo – Order through the form Jackson sent out. Deadline has been pushed back until Midnight on Saturday night to allow anyone who wasn't at the meeting a fair chance. Also, once the logo has been decided, Eric will take it and order the tasting glasses that we decided on a few meetings ago.
4) Grain Buy – Tim S. is in contact with Luke at Triptych. Will send out an email/forum post when he gets back from vacation.
5) Girls Pint Out BUZZ Brew – 9 am Saturday, 15 Sept, at 25oC. Arrive on time ready to brew (grains milled etc.) so you can be done by 3. The style that will be brewed is the classic Extra Special Bitters. It should be a good time to discuss beer types and styles with the GPO girls and hopefully spark some interest in joining our club as well. If you still want to participate contact Jackson ASAP firstname.lastname@example.com
6) Competition Financial Report – $782 income, $690 expenses = $92 profit. Overall a successful event, and we look forward to next year!
7) Judging Class – We will be getting the emails and classes up and running again soon. Our new Vice president, Adam, intends to get the ball rolling in the next month or two.
Land Locked Hops Harvest - Occurred Sat 8/25 morning/afternoon. Good turnout from the club, 5 members. It was interesting to watch, smell and experience hops harvesting. Thanks to LLH and Ross for inviting us. There were examples of the pelletized final product brought to the meeting and if anyone is interested in purchasing some, please contact Tim S.
9) Free Fresh Hops - Eric has been in contact with another local farmer about some hops he has been growing wildly for 5 years or so. In the past two years he has put poles up and the hops are growing large and healthy. He is offering a free pound of hops to anyone who is interested in brewing with them. The only catch being he would like detailed information on how the hops were used and what flavors they create in the brews. He's curious whether to keep growing this variety or to uproot and plant new varieties next year. We will have something posted in the forum soon to gauge interest, as the hops will be harvested in the coming weeks.
10) Happy hour – Will be held at Riggs Beer Company on Thursday September 20th (not the 19th like originally talked about) for the seasonal release of their Oktoberfest.

Rightmove partners with BT to show broadband speeds of its house listings
According to The Telegraph, UK property website Rightmove is to start listing the broadband speeds of its one million house listings, adapting to include one of the most requested pieces of information from potential buyers when looking at properties.
The broadband speed data will be provided by BT, which provides the backbone for nearly all of the UK's telecoms network but also serves as the biggest Internet provider, displaying whether listed houses are covered by the company's new fibre-optic broadband service called BT Infinity.
Rightmove has denied reports, mentioning that it would be interested in providing the service but was "not currently in any form of partnership with BT", with BT declining to comment.
The Telegraph reports that recent surveys are showing almost 75% of interest house buyers will be less likely to buy their dream house if the property is not connected within a high-speed broadband area. This has fuelled the desire for estate agents to list the speeds of their properties.
It is not the first time that a telecoms company has partnered with property listing websites; Virgin Media works with hundreds of independent estate agents to list the services available to house hunters. It is also working with house-builder Persimmonn to deliver fibre-optic internet to new houses.

The hard-disk drive is so common that most computer users take it for granted as a natural part of a personal computer. But now, the hard drive has a challenger for its longtime role as the principal storage device in computers. It's called the solid-state drive, or SSD, and it has begun to show up in some big-name notebook computers.
Hard-disk drives, or HDDs, are mechanical devices. They work by recording data on a spinning magnetic platter or platters. By contrast, solid-state drives are made of chips and have no moving parts. They are close cousins to the so-called flash memory used in digital cameras, cellphones and smaller-capacity music players. They record data to special memory chips that retain their contents even when the device is turned off.
Solid-state drives have some key advantages. Because they lack moving parts, they are faster, draw less power, are harder to damage and are quieter than hard drives. Unfortunately, today's early versions of SSDs for laptops also have two big drawbacks when compared with hard drives: They offer much lower capacity and have much higher prices.
For instance, on the newly announced Apple MacBook Air ultrathin laptop, the HDD version costs $1,799 and stores 80 gigabytes. The SSD version costs $2,798, but actually stores less — just 64 gigabytes. On the Toshiba Portege R500 subnotebook, the basic hard-drive version costs $1,999 and stores 120 gigabytes. The cheapest SSD version is $2,699 and also stores just 64 gigabytes.
Despite these limitations, I believe SSDs are likely to become more common and more popular as their capacities increase and their prices drop. Samsung, which makes the 64-gigabyte SSDs in both the Apple and the Toshiba, has already announced an SSD with twice the capacity that costs much less per gigabyte of storage.
I've been testing the SSD models of the Portege R500 and the MacBook Air to see how they measure up to their HDD counterparts. My verdict is that the SSD does deliver on its promises, but, in some cases, just barely.
For the small slice of users who are deeply and constantly worried about hard-disk failures, it may be worth it to pay a huge premium today for an SSD that stores less. Because SSDs aren't subject to mechanical failures, your data are probably safer on them. But for mainstream users, my conclusion is that it's too early to take the plunge on SSDs, and the best strategy is to wait for prices to drop sharply and for capacity to rise.
In my tests, I focused solely on comparing the hard-drive and SSD models of each machine, which I had had already reviewed in earlier columns. On the same computer, I wondered, would the SSD make a significant difference in speed and in battery life?
To measure battery life, I conducted my usual harsh test, where I turn off all power-saving software, set screen brightness to maximum, turn on the Wi-Fi and play an endless loop of music.
In this test, the SSD made little difference in the MacBook Air and, in fairness, Apple is making no claims of any significant battery-life gains on its SSD model. The SSD MacBook gave me just five more minutes of battery life. Apple says this is because its hard-drive model already uses a very low-power drive.
On the Portege R500, my first battery test with the SSD model actually yielded significantly less battery life than the hard-drive model. The reason: Toshiba ships the base SSD model with a battery with only half of the capacity of the hard-drive model.
When I swapped in the normal battery, which costs $117 extra, the SSD model gave me an added 1 hour and 21 minutes of battery life, about a 36% increase. That extra battery life likely would translate to nearly 2½ hours in more normal usage. It may be worth the huge price premium for some folks.
On both computers, the SSD was faster than the HDD models. The SSD version of the Apple booted up from a cold start, and rebooted with several programs running, about 40% faster. But the gain isn't as impressive as it seems because even the hard-drive versions of the MacBook Air booted up in under a minute and rebooted in just a little over a minute.
On the Toshiba, which was running Windows XP, the SSD model knocked about 40 seconds off a cold boot time on the HDD version of 2 minutes and 7 seconds. On my reboot test, starting with several programs running, the SSD model was 80 seconds faster. I imagine that on laptops with the slow-booting Windows Vista, the improvements might be more meaningful.
I also tested launching Microsoft Word and Excel, and opening a couple of hefty PDF files on both machines. The SSD versions were faster. But in most cases, the gains were just a few seconds or even fractions of a second.
All in all, the SSD is a promising improvement over the hard drive, but now is not the time for most users to buy it.

The digital world is blooming. EVERYTHING is going digital. We have touch screens everywhere. Our cars have touch screens in them. Our phones are touch screens, You can buy a refrigerator with a touch screen. They are everywhere.
You may not know this about me but I have a background in art. I love to draw and paint. I painted all the time when I was in college and up until I was pregnant with Zoe. I t was my creative outlet before I started blogging. I would probably paint if my blog ever just died, but I don't see my blog going anywhere. So, I've been wondering if there was a way to explore my artistic background with the current trends in technology and yes there are, and I don't have to buy a mac. I can use the iPad I already own and get a few new apps.
Just using a Nomad Brush with any electronic art program with a touch screen will allow me to paint anywhere whenever I want. The Nomad Brush is the first handcrafted paintbrush stylus for touchscreen devices. The Nomad Brush is the only paintbrush stylus that blends natural and conductive fibers with other highly conductive materials to make painting on digital screens feel as authentic as using canvas or watercolor paper. All Nomad Brushes glide smoothly and effortlessly on touchscreens.
Nomade has a few recommended drawing apps listed on their website. a few of them of their suggestions with Nomad Brush products are: ArtRage, Auryn Ink, Zen Brush, Adobe Eazel, and Adobe Color Lava.
My only issue with the brush is that when I pulled it out of the package a black rubber piece came off and I can't get it back on. It should cover the copper area of the brush.
The Nomad Original retails for $24

The Silent Patientby Alex Michaelides

Deal availability may change without notice! Prices may vary from store to store. Due to international copyright, availability and pricing may vary outside of the US.
"An unforgettable—and Hollywood-bound—new thriller…A mix of Hitchcockian suspense, Agatha Christie plotting, and Greek tragedy."
—Entertainment Weekly
Promising to be the debut novel of the season The Silent Patient is a shocking psychological thriller of a woman's act of violence against her husband–and of the therapist obsessed with uncovering her motive…
Alicia Berenson's life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London's most desirable areas. One evening her husband Gabriel returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face, and then never speaks another word.
Alicia's refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety. The price of her art skyrockets, and she, the silent patient, is hidden away from the tabloids and spotlight at the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London.
Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist who has waited a long time for the opportunity to work with Alicia. His determination to get her to talk and unravel the mystery of why she shot her husband takes him down a twisting path into his own motivations–a search for the truth that threatens to consume him….

Date: September 11, 2017
Time: 7:30 PM
Location: Brockville Museum
George Neville will be speaking on Monday, September 11th about Joseph Jessup, his land and Mill sites at Lyn Falls off the Lyn-Yonge Mills Road. George's talk will be introduced through an early map (1810) of the St. Lawrence Front Royal townships extending from Edwardsburg Twp. in the east to Leeds Twp. in the west, wherein Jessup's Mill sites are indicated in Lots 24-26 and E.½ Lot 27 of Elizabeth Town Twp., a location better known now as 'Lyn Falls'. This map depicts the early route of the King's Highway, pathways, creeks and waterways and emerging settlement communities.
Little personal information is known of Capt. Joseph Jessup, but insight will be shared from obscure documents of Jessup's dilemma in later sale of parcels of his holdings to different purchasers only to learn before 'the ink was dry' that he was committed to greater total acreage than to which he held title by Crown Deed, and the efforts he invoked with the Survey General's Department in York for favourable resolution.

We're coming up on Serious Movie Season, and thus here we have another trailer for a based-on-a-true-story film aiming to tug at your heartstrings. In Lion, Dev Patel stars as Saroo Brierley, a man adopted at a young age by an Australian couple. Saroo, who was separated from his brother in a train station during his youth, goes searching for his birth family with the help of Google Earth. Hey, look! A movie involving the Internet, which doesn't glorify the contributions of one white man or spell doom and gloom for society.
Anyway, the first look at the project from director Garth Davis introduces us to an adult Saroo, beginning to remember details of his past life. "I had another family, a mother, a brother," he says. "I can still see their faces." Davis relies on flashbacks to dramatize Saroo's past, while Nicole Kidman plays his adopted mother. Rooney Mara also appears.
After stops on the festival circuit, Lion is due out in theaters November 25.

Dave, I, for one commend your heroic efforts to remind us periodically of the high standards of humor employed here. Thank you.
How assinine . . .
Cool. Now I know the word for "Showroom" in Dutch is "Showroom". That should come in handy someday.
Your asscerbic humor is noted...
I don't get it. Maybe it's because I can read Dutch.
It's always good to asspire to greatness.

This is Photoshop.
This is Photoshop on @SS.
So Dutchmen think it's a compliment if you tell them their car seats look like @$$...
This is such a clASSy blog.
