Also, the Auburn Pussies beat the Florida Gators last night. Gah. While I absolutely love it how the SEC is so fucking awesome that we're heads and shoulders above any other conference in the entire country, it kind of sucks that we always beat ourselves up. In the polls, once you lose a game you almost never have a shot at the title, and after two losses you might not even be ranked anymore. Works okay for most conferences, where there's only two or three strong teams, but in the SEC everyone except maybe Kentucky's a threat. Just look at Florida, LSU, and...as much as I hate to say it, Auburn. Any one of those teams deserve to play in the title game, cause the only folks in the country that could beat any of them are each other. Georgia's not too far away, either. But with these kick-ass SEC teams destroying each other, no one's going to be able to sweep the entire season and so nobody's going to make it to the BCS game.
Ah well. Still some damn good football. Best time of the year to be alive, except maybe Bowl Season.

Lakers coach Byron Scott: 'Not an option' to bench Kobe Bryant
Despite veteran Kobe Bryant's poor performance this season, Los Angeles Lakers head coach Byron Scott will not bench Bryant, reports Baxter Holmes of ESPN.com
"I would never, never, never do that," Scott said. "That's not an option whatsoever. No, that's not an option."
Bryant, 37, has recorded a career-worst 31.1 shooting percent from the field and 19.5 percent from 3-point range so far this season.
On Tuesday, Bryant told reporters that he wasn't concerned about his personal performance as much as he is focused on the team improving as a whole.
• Kobe Bryant: 'If something doesn't change, this is it for me'
"My shooting will be better," Bryant said after Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. "I could've scored 80 tonight. It wouldn't have made a damn difference. We just have bigger problems."
The 20-year-veteran is in the final year of his contract with the Lakers and is a five-time NBA champion and 17-time All Star.

Married To Jezebel Spirit
I too am married to a woman with the Jezebel spirit. I am very unhappy and frustrated. To make matters worse my wifes mother also operates with this spirit and has a very strong influence on my wife. My wife is a Christian but her mother is not. I am a believer that this spirit is very unforgiving and unrepentant. I have noticed that both my wife and mother make decisions that benefit both of them but they have no regard for the pain that it may be causing another. And if you oppose them they always retaliate. I am not the same man I once was. I am trying to build a closer relationship with the Lord, because I feel that I must first start there. Pray with me.
Can Christians Do Drugs
Would you place a bullet in a empty gun chamber, spin the chamber and point the gun to your head and press the trigger 5 times?
The same can be said about a Christians trying drugs.
Some may be immune to then or have enough self control to prevent the drugs to become their masters.
Other my get on deep DEEP trouble that will make their Christian life miserable.
If you are thrown to the Lion's dean would you pray as Daniel or would you Fight as David? Which is Biblically correct?
Can God Forgive Repeated Sins
How many of your sins were yet FUTURE when JesusChrist died for you at the cross?
Your priority is not Sinning Prevention is being productive for the Lord.
Focusing on this will take care of many other aspects of your Christian life.
If you are looking to server your master things will follow in place and the most secure prove of this is that the enemy will attack with temptation constantly.
Mitt Romney And Hillary Clinton
No need to worry about it, Mitt won't make it in, anyway.
Who is Peter Popoff?
My young nephew called for the miracle water, without his mother knowing. He could hardly wait until it showed up in the mail, but it came with the form letter - sorry you've been going through all of your terrible struggles with some thing or another.
This kid has been winning golf tournaments since the age of 6, bright. He would watch the program in his room while his mom was busy fixing dinner. Kids are impressionable. He did have a bit of a time getting the letters to stop.
Okay To Watch Witchcraft Shows
Okay To Watch Witchcraft Shows
Is it okay for Christians to watch shows like Charmed, which is about witchcraft? .
"Moderator - No."
And the Moderator's answer is NO.
It's as true today as it was when the question was posted. If you're watching Charmed, you can be Charmed right out of anything the Lord would have for you.
So watch Charmed, mix light and dark, it will not all come out in the wash.
"Depart from me, I never knew you."
Believe The Bible Or The Pope
Ed, I read all of those in high school. They did not prepare me for the Bible. The Holy Spirit prepared me for the Bible. When I finally obeyed the Holy Spirit, He opened my eyes up to the beauty of God's Holy Word. I devoured it.
Wherefore He saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. Eph 5:14
Believe The Bible Or The Pope
Ed, let's talk about Israel.
For the Lord hath poured out upon you (Israel) the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath He covered (Is 29:10)
Isaiah was warning Israel that they were asleep. Israel was trusting in the shadow of Egypt and in the strength of the Pharaoh, and not in the Lord. Let's talk about the midnight hour, Ed.
Believe The Bible Or The Pope
Today, the same words are true. They cannot trust in the shadow or let soothing words lull them to sleep. We might despair for Israel if it were not for the many promises contained in the Word of God for them. They are not forgotten.
Talitha cumi, prophetic words.
It's time for Israel to arise. We're to pray for Jerusalem and Israel, not to depend on the arm of man but look to the Lord for guidance. These are the things on my heart,
Believe The Bible Or The Pope
Let's talk Bible, Ed.
In the midnight hour, the last days, there are going to be believers whose eyes are open to the wisdom and revelation of God, and the understanding of their calling. They will understand the completion of Christ, the perfection of Christ, and the fullness of Christ.
God looks into the heart of every man to see whom He can fill with Himself. God has waited through all eternity to give every Christian the capacity to walk in the fullness of Christ.
Believe The Bible Or The Pope
The Bible teaches us that to walk in the Light as Christ is in the Light, means that there is no longer darkness within.
This is the hope of every Christian who wants to walk in the Light.
I believe you have a calling Ed, and I hope you find it soon.
Believe The Bible Or The Pope
Ed, you wanted love, love and love is personal.
I showed you love and it gave you a great big pinch.
So let's go back to non-emotional debate and talk about the Great Commission, being commissioned from Heaven with orders and spiritual armaments that will take us into the uncertain days to come and lead us into the mighty Harvest. Let's talk about the Midnight Hour, and change is upon us. Only the Lord can prepare us by His Holy Spirit what He destined us to be and do in the last days.
Believe The Bible Or The Pope
Ed, start living in the now. Forget history for awhile, it's not helping you make any decisions about what you want to do with your life. Confusion is not of God. I don't know how old you are, but there's only so much time a man has. It's time to get on with it, Ed.

Fields of Fur Toronto, ON March 11
Published Mar 12, 2010"We're three shows old!" said Brian Borcherdt, the front-man of his newest endeavour, Fields of Fur. Joined by guitarist Anna Edwards (from Foxfire and Borcherdt's girlfriend) and drummer Mike Leblanc, they were shy and small but the sound that beckoned forth was haunting and bold. Gearing more towards prog rock and Borcherdt's solo work, Fields of Fur pressed on through a healthy amount of songs. As Leblanc switched between electronic and acoustic drumming, Borcherdt pushed his guitar and Edwards picked, while the soft intertwining of their voices became a chilling sound to be heard. Hopefully this trio keeps up the good work and we'll see more of them in the future, but with a bit more confidence.

Below is a list of heritage walks designed with love by us. All these walks are led by artists from the city. We make sure that the part of the profits from our walks always go back to our local communities.
Agra 101 Walk
This tour has a little bit of everything about Agra. All topics ranging from history to politics and geography to culinay traditions are covered in this adventure packed tour.
We start our tour from the heart of "Akbarabad", the Jama Masjid and see, feel and hear the beautiful though now chaotic city. We climb terraces to spot monuments, walk through 15th century markets, enter traditional homes and maybe meet a few local poets if we are lucky.
Start/End location : Shahi Jama Masjid Main gate, opp Agra fort station
Duration: 3 hours
Akbarabadi food trail / Zaika-E-Akbarabad
The city design of Agra is such that it encourages cultural confluence. Credit for this can be given to king Akbar the great, a secular king who laid the foundations of the city. Over time various communities have settled in Agra and with them have arrived an interesting and delicious motley of cuisines.
In the Akbarabadi food trail we cover hyperlocal food joints of Agra, from an early 19th century shop serving Braj cuisines to Muslim hotels that still preserve the age old family recipes. The food items change depending on the weather.
Dive into the authentic flavors of the city by takinig this food walk.
Start/End location : Shahi Jama Masjid Main gate, opp Agra fort station
Duration: 3 hours
Handicraft Walk
Agra is mainly known for some major industries like the footwear industry, jewellery industry, tourism industry, etc. Their export system runs all over the world. But apart from these, there are a lot of small and traditional businesses like the kite factory, thread factory, wooden utensils factory, zardozi arts, etc. They have been running for centuries by some old families who live in Agra. Whenever we walk or go through the old markets of Agra, we can see very small shops that include kite making, thread making, zardozi art, and marble work, but when we enter these shops, we can see huge galleries where workers carry out their work. During the walk, we will explore the working system of these small factories that have silently been serving the city for generations. You will bear witness to the fast handiwork here along with the myriad skills.
Photo Walk
The photo walk is aimed at capturing some of the many tales that make history a breathing, living phenomenon, an attempt to see Agra through the photographic lens. Instead of a fixed, predetermined route, we will wander through the streets following the collective instinct on each turn; tasting snacks, meeting locals, capturing moments and remnants.
Experience the taste of true Mughal cuisine. In this experience we have partnered with the women of Hakiman Street, the oldest Mohalla/community of Agra. We go to our hosts home to enjoy a three course meal which is prepared in the most traditional way using locally sourced spices and food items.
Conversations abound on this dastakhan and we have seen from poetry recitals to sharing of old stories and tales here. The woman of the household are warm and hospitable and our dining room window offers the best view of Taj Mahal.
Location: Gudri Mansoor Khan police station
Duration: 2 hours
Walk down the memory lane
What does the city look like to someone whose childhood stories are inextricably entangled with the history of a world famous city and one of the most powerful empires of all times?The walk is a evocation of memory and growing up as a local in the oldest part of the city.The walk will begin from the historic Jama Masjid and through the meandering route of intense aromas, colourful crowds, street foods, ancient temples and beautiful ruins, a snack with the women from the local communities, gazing men minutely working away with thread in a workshop that traces its roots to 16th generations, end with a visit to a 100 year shop of marble handicrafts where artisans still carve dreams in stone.
Story of Spices
Walking down the lanes of Agra leaves one absorbed by the aroma of the different spices, various food stalls and the overall diverse cuisines of the city. Be it while looking at the century-old spice shops at Rawatpada or eating the delectable and famous mutton stew at Pakiza Meat Shop, it is a wonder how different spices and flavours blend into the living history of the city, and how modern alterations to the original dishes over time have created new flavours that still retain the cultural significance of the dish. Join us on a food tour across the old city as we take you through a journey of myriad palates, with a variety of different dishes ranging from Mughlai non-vegetarian cuisine to braj ke bhalle, and discuss how the different spices/preparations used by generations have influenced the food and living culture of the city.
Military Breakfast Walk
It is not uncommon for us Agraites to get asked "So…what do you guys eat for breakfast in Agra?" The answer is obviously not straightforward as the lifestyle is diverse and complex. There is no such thing as homogenous Agra food – be it breakfast, lunch or dinner. But there are some cultural values that make Agra cuisine unique, especially the Agra breakfast. Join us on this breakfast walk through lanes of Mantola where we will be sharing stories from our childhood and exploring the vast range of breakfast recipies this city offers.
Exploring old ruins of the city
While every new construction in the city of Agra boasts of modern mechanical technology or some concrete structure, the ruins of the city hold parts that are almost 500 to 1000 years old. One can find many old Madarasa-like structures, like the Panja Madarasa ruins, with remnants of the Sufi poets around them, untold stories of the city, and different kinds of architectural styles in its balconies, windows and doors. One can experience the work of endurance and patience that has existed in these parts of the city for centuries. Sometimes, it is only the ruins that speak for themselves and their past. During the walk, we will discuss and share our experiences and childhood memories. We will also listen to and meet the local hidden poets of the area.
Temple Walk
We have learnt in our lessons on Indian history that in ancient times, along with the religious connotations they carried, temples were seen as social hubs where people congregated. They were also sites where the arts like dance, music and combat were honed and passed down generations. Today, these temples remind us of our past and the architectural brilliance of craftsmen in those days. Join us on this temple walk around Rawatpara as we visit the temples of Mankameshwar, Dauji and others, and talk about how the temple was inseparably linked to the development of religion, sectarian traditions, society, economy and polity.
Rise of the Mughals
The first Mughal Babur came from central Asia from a small kingdom in present day Uzbekistan called Ferghana. In this walk we discuss what contributed to the success of the Mughals and how were they able to forge a strong empire in the land of beyond the Indus river.
Night Walk around Taj Mahal
The night walk is conceptualised with the hope of making the city a safe space, a space of stories and dreams. In a city that counts as one of the top tourist destinations in the world, it is strange that the residents, especially women find it unsafe to walk the streets or step out at night. We hope the walk will help the locals and the tourists connect, share stories and feel safe in this city that was once the seat of the most powerful empires ever in the world.
A walk about Mughal Women
Reading about princesses, begums and empresses of the Mughal empire, it is always fascinating to learn about their contributions and accomplishments. Be it Khanzada Begum, Mumtaz Mahal, Noor Jahan or Jahanara Begum, the women were all, right from the beginning, some of the most cultured and educated of their age. As for the physical evidence of Mughal ambition and glory, Agra is fairly studded with examples of their vision, in sandstone and marble. Join us on this heritage walk around Mariam Tomb as we visit the mausoleum of Mariam-uz-Zamani, the queen consort of the Mughal Emperor Akbar, and talk about other begums and princesses of the Mughal empire and try to understand their contributions and influence on the city's cultural heritage.
Poetry Walk
Reading the poets of Agra can make one realise that language is not a barrier but a tool to establish human connections. Be it Nazir Akabarabadi, Ghalib, or Mir Taqi Mir, the city and its culture has been documented beautifully in poetic verses. This tradition has continued with new poets emerging and evolving from different languages and communities.
Join us on this poetry walk across the old city as we visit the birthplaces of some great poets, read and talk about the poetry of Agra, and try to understand the submergence of language within the city's unique cultural richness.

Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)
Country: USA
Director: Jack Arnold
Main Stars: Richard Carlson, Julie Adams, Richard Denning, Whit Bissell
Storyline: Scientists search the Amazon River for fossils and awaken the creature from the Black Lagoon. The creature kidnaps one of the scientist's fiancée Kay and they must track him down to save her.
Review (Spoils): Another Universal film and movie monster. This time it is the Gill Man also known as The Creature. I found this film not as great as the others but the film itself is unique and the underwater shots are amazing for its time. The most classic shot of this is the swimming scene with the beautiful Kay (Julie Adams) where the creature is just beneath her feet. The storyline itself can be a little boring but it opened the door for monster movies in the horror genre. The Gill Man is one of the most recognized monsters from the Universal era.
Rating: This was an ok film not the greatest from the Universal collection but none the less a classic. The monster itself was done by two different people so no credit was made to them but hats off to both Ricou Browning and Ben Chapman for their work. This is the best of the Gill Man series.
6/10 Beers!

The Alcochem UV-A Meter is a powerful selling tool and an important quality assurance tool in HACCP Food Safety Programs. The UV-A meter is an absolute UV-A meter. This means that it can accurately measure the absolute UV-A light intensity from any lamp, or other UV-A source. Measured in mW/cm² .

Since UV-A light is invisible to the human eye, this is most important, as it is the only means by which you can determine if a lamp is actually working or not.
When you install an insect-trap from Alcochem the UV-A meter you can identify the right area on the wall. By finding the lowest UV-A background the unit will on the best place on the wall.
Shedding light on increased sales and new clients with the Alcochem™ UV-A Light Meter
The improved UV-A meter is able to measure the level of the UV-A light given off by a UV-A lamp. Flying insects are drawn towards UV-A light with a specific wavelength peak of 360 nm. The higher the amount of UV-A light generated by a UV-A lamp, the more efficiently it will attract flying insects.

A cave is an object, as stated above, that is representative of both fear and of the unknown.
It is a popular connection that is constantly being made by both philosophers and psychologists that fear is closely related to lack of knowledge. Many believe that the roots of fears like homophobia and agoraphobia especially come from not knowing and not understanding. If someone does not know or does not understand what is going on around them then it is likely that they will be afraid. And this fear can also lead to hatred. Thus, a dream about a cave might have several different meanings.
On the one hand, to dream about a cave could mean that you are relentlessly seeking information on something that you do not know the full details of. You are researching all of the information available to you to come to a conclusion regarding some important thing that has taken hold of your life currently, but you haven't been able to make any solid assertions yet. Basically, the cave represents this thing that you are seeking. It may hold the answers, but you haven't taken the next step to go inside.
Conversely the cave can also be something that you do not want to know about. Maybe it is a rough part of your life that you are mentally shrouding in mystery, or maybe it is an area of yourself that you do not want to explore for fear of how it might change your own opinion of yourself. It could just as easily be something entirely unrelated to you that you just don't want any more information on. Perhaps a friend ahs revealed half of a secret to you, and you told them to stop before they told you the rest. The cave would represent that part of the secret that they were unable to share with you. While it might be a good idea to keep away from information that you have no need to hear and that may have a negative effect on you, you do not want to close yourself off entirely from entire avenues in your life. You will know what the most appropriate decision is though, so take any of this advice with a grain of salt. You ultimately know what's best for you. Just remember to think before you make any decisions.
To dream of a cave can also symbolize fear or frustration at something. Perhaps it is a secret that you think might change your view on something or maybe it is something that you are afraid will hurt one of your relationships. If you really believe in your heart of hearts that pursuing this thing, or educating yourself on this thing will only lead to further heartache, then you would do well to stay away from it. But you should always consider the possibility that this experience could help you more than it will hurt you.
A cave can be a place of fear but sometimes in order to conquer your fears you just need to step through the threshold and see what happens. Sure it might end badly, but it can also end well too, and you'll always be afraid, never knowing the truth until you just take the plunge and go for it.

Innovating in Fitness
It would be helpful to our industry if we reframe what innovation actually is. An innovation is any new idea you can adopt that adds value to your product for your customer. This is the description used by the consultants at Ignite Innovation.
Further, we define "product" in the fitness business as the "member experience." Your product is comprised of plant and equipment, people, policies, programs, business practices, processes and a myriad of smaller elements (i.e. paperwork, class schedules, website, apps, etc.).
An innovation, then, is any new idea that adds value to the member experience. If we are truly adding value to the member experience, then we are adding value to the company, which allows us to extract more value. Value is extracted in the form of higher prices, increased sales of existing products or services, reduced costs, new products to sell, or increased valuation of the business.
As a fitness business, it's important to adopt an innovation discipline by operationalizing an actual process for innovating, in order to be far more successful at adopting ideas that actually add value.
When adopting new ideas, it is easier, faster and cheaper to add small pieces of value through small changes than it is to add a whole bunch of value with large changes. Moreover, your chances of having successful small innovations are much greater than successful large innovations. This isn't to say you shouldn't be seeking large innovations, but rather that you should spend the vast majority of your time seeking the small.
We break down innovations into three categories: "Incremental Innovations," which are the small, rapid changes that improve any aspect of our product; "Sustaining Innovations," which are larger and often occur through the changing of processes; and "Breakthrough Innovations," which are whole new business models.
With so many moving pieces in the daily operation of fitness facilities, there are literally hundreds of innovations just waiting for you to execute. This is why we say the majority of your time should be on Incremental Innovations. We recommend you create a list of key areas of your operations to be inspected, (i.e. sales process, cleaning processes, equipment repair, employee integration, etc.) better understood and improved upon, with the idea of adding value to the member experience.
Wouldn't it be great if every member had a fabulous experience with every visit and was building an exercise habit from their first visit? This is the intended output of innovation practices. The inputs that make this happen are quite literally the number of new ideas that you adopt that add value to the member experience.

A young housewife was exposed as the "Mrs Big" behind a drugs ring spreading misery in a tiny North East hamlet.
Two nearby drug deaths, an epidemic of crime and a wave of public complaints triggered the Durham force's Operation Yacca into organised heroin and crack trafficking in Grange Villa, near Chester-le-Street.
A small team of officers spent months bravely infiltrating the supply network in the ex-mining community before the whole village was sealed off during a spectacular wave of co-ordinated raids.
And when the investigation was over, 28-year-old Helen Embleton had emerged as the unlikely ringleader masterminding the racket to fund her own addiction.
Her 36-year-old husband David, himself hooked on heroin, was also heavily involved in delivering thousands of pounds' worth of drugs to the undercover team.
Now the couple, formerly of West Street, Grange Village, are each beginning nine-year jail sentences after admitting a conspiracy charge.
Christopher Knox, prosecuting at Newcastle Crown Court, said: "Our case is that Helen Embleton was in clear control of the supply of Class A drugs in Grange Villa during this period. Evidence shows David Embleton was acting under her direction."
Embleton herself told the undercover officers she regularly drove to Teesside to buy heroin wholesale, used others to bag the drugs and even boasted her husband "was just the man behind the woman".
Their empire crashed in March when months of secretly taped surveillance ended with arrests, not just in the village but across Chester-le-Street, Sacriston, Stanley, South Tyneside, Gateshead and Teesside. More than 250 uniformed and plain clothes officers took part in the raids across three force areas.
Passing sentence, Judge Tim Hewitt told the Embletons: "It must be understood the court will do what relatively little it can to deter people like you from poisoning and destroying communities with your drug dealing and infecting them with other crime."
He told Helen Embleton: "You were at the centre of the operation and you involved others."
The Embletons appeared in the dock with seven others arrested as part of the operation.
They were Graeme Park, 25, of Rothsay, Ouston, Ayub Ali, 38, of Weardale Place, Stockton, Craig Woodier, 25, of Leven Street, Middlesbrough, William McCaig, 40, of Victoria Terrace, Bedlington, Wayne Brown, 30, of Harris Bank, Birtley, Keith Ainsley, 40, of Cecil Street, Chester-le-Street, and Frederick Grey, 33, of Southport Parade, Hebburn.

Heath Slater got a surprise he didn't see coming when Baron Corbin handed him a referee shirt and then made him a WWE official. He seemed to be Heath's boss for a bit as Slater did what he had to do because he's got kids.
Slater was the referee for Braun Strowman's interesting victory over Corbin at WWE TLC. After it was all said and done, Slater put his referee shirt back on to make the three count, but he couldn't wait to take that shirt back off when he got backstage.
Heath Slater said that he's now a WWE Superstar once again assuming that Baron Corbin is out of power. It would have been nice to see this story play out for a few more weeks, but it looks like Heath is back now.
Rhyno is still fired from RAW from was we've been able to tell even though he invaded a house show. You never know if everything Corbin did will be erased when Vince McMahon comes back to shake things up tomorrow night.

Yes, I am fully aware it is March and not the 1st of January or even the middle of January anymore, and while I am a strong believer in having a good starting point, I also believe that change and challenges can be started at any time. Hence, this list.
I was really struggling for my next blog post already until I realised a few things,
- I love lists
- I love to challenge myself
- There were a lot of things I wanted to do/ change in this next year
I have been punishing myself about my weight and fitness for a while, and every other day I am dreaming about adventures or things I want to do and so, I have created a list. Between the date today (March 7th 2016) and a year from now (March 7th 2017) I aim to complete as many things on this list as possible.
It's not a massive list, and I imagine not even very interesting to you out there – but here it is. I'll blog about each thing as I complete it, and update this page when they are completed.
But for now here it is – let me know if you have a list which is similar, or want to share different things on yours to make me feel like I'm not the only one trying to get their shit together!
- Be able to run a 5K
- Be able to run a 10K
- Up my yoga fitness and strength
- Master the head/hand stand
- Complete a 30 day squat challenge
- Be able to do 5 chin ups
- Do a colour run
- Complete a 30 day ab challenge
Blogging and Social Media:
- Update blog at least every 3 weeks – (I know that isn't a lot, but with uni deadlines all the time, it is more realistic)
- Get total views to 1000 – (again, not a lot, but I am a tiny beginner blog, so any views are good views)
- Write a blog post that gets over 20 likes
- Blog about each thing I tick off the list
- Visit 3 different countries
- Visit every main beach in the area I live
- Take a spontaneous day trip to somewhere in the UK
- Go to a Christmas market somewhere else in the UK
- Visit winter wonderland in London
- Visit Joe/Matt at uni
- Learn to do leaves on coffees at work
- Start learning to drive
- Write more for the student paper
- Have something published in the physical paper
Have my phone sorted and fixed29/03/16 (I won't blog about this as it is highly uninteresting to me and to you – but in summary it was a nightmare I wish to never repeat)
- Complete my first year of uni with over 60%
- Save £2000 from working the summer
- Be up to see a sunrise in the UK
- Be up to see the sunrise in Costa Rica
- Do something for charity (or at least apply to)
- Give blood
- Read 15 books for fun – (This does not sound like a lot, but when studying for a history degree, I don't have a lot of time to read 'normal' books)
- Buy a new practical coat which I will actually wear
- Make my own hummus
- Try a week being Vegan
- Try a week being Gluten free
- Create a book of recipes i make all in one place
- Try proper sushi
- No Dominos for a month – (I am a student, Dominos deliver till 5am, I drink, it's a lot harder than it sounds)
Much Love x

I was a high school student attending New Life Church. I have always found the fanatic behavior and the craze of the people who surely believe and are convinced that the bible is the only truth very peculiar. Richard Dawkin's documentary "The Root of All Evil" has cleared me up so much and my life makes so much more sense. I pity those dogmatic conservative christians who are so assured of their stone age ethics and reasonings, because they miss out on the true beauty of the nature. Evolution is proven many ways to be true. Only idiots would believe that the world was created in seven days. It is science and there is no reason not to teach it in science class. Now, I am still amazed at the complexity of nature. But it is nature itself, and not such a sill book written by cavemen, that reveals to us the truths of this world. I have finally found my true religion, which is no religion.
Thank you! The world needs more people like you.(And the entire scandal about Pastor Ted is just ironic don't you think)

With the media-driven, marketing day of love just around the corner, I thought a post about love was timely. More specifically, how Ryan and I learned to love each other — I like to say we grew into love rather than love at first sight — which, in turn, taught our young adult daughter how to love.
When Ryan met me, at 20-years old, I was CRAZY. I was an unstable, insecure girl with the relationship mental age of 16, coming from a dysfunctional situation. Up until then, all the men I had met were sought out and used to fill a void, as most girls with daddy issues do. Self-medicating to kill the pain of family divorce, affairs, bullying and abuse in high school – I was what some might lovingly refer to as "a hot mess." It was at this volatile point in my life that I met Ryan.
Then known as Ryan McKinney, this guy was a ridiculously handsome and rebellious 20-year old with a shaved head and beard. He was an aspiring rapper and DJ, who rode a motorcycle and went to Cypress Hill concerts and got into trouble with friends. By trouble, I mean he got pulled over because of a headlight out; they found opium on him and the rookie cop didn't know how to classify it, so he got charged as a minor in possession of cocaine. But I digress.
This young man was the kind of rebel that most girls at that age, including me, find incredibly attractive. He wooed me with evenings filled with corner store Chianti, frozen chicken patty sandwiches, 3-foot bong tokes, and Sade's 'Love Deluxe' on repeat. My insecurities were everywhere this poor guy looked, but instead of making me feel like a damaged piece of meat that he didn't feel like digesting, he showed me something others did not: patience. It was in those little moments of clarity and love that I saw potential for more.
Again, like my last post, a disclaimer: This is NOT to say that things have been perfection. In fact, the first 5-7 years were ROUGH. That "seven year itch" thing is true. Life is rough to begin with, but add lack of time together and a baby to that mix, and it's not ideal. I'd felt the emotional effects of divorce (twice), and however cliché it sounded, I refused to give up without a fight. Thankfully, I married to a fellow Earth sign: hard-working, loyal, and resilient. We both agreed divorce wasn't an option.
The baby years are easy because you think, 'Oh, she won't remember this fight, she's just an infant!' Then all of a sudden, she was seven and watching us battle over things like money, friends, family, life. Ryan and I had to learn to be friends, spouses, and parents at the same time. As we learned to cohabitate and be a functional parenting team, we were also teaching Madison. Often our lessons were learned together.
Then one day we woke up and she had her first crush. How would we handle it? I wondered if Ryan would be one of those dads with a shotgun he cleaned when boys came over. So I asked him. His response: "I don't need a shotgun. She can date whoever she wants, and if it doesn't work, it's cool. All I ask is that she is respected and feels safe. You don't like her anymore? Cool, just tell her. You cheat on her or make her feel less than the young queen she is, then we need to have a discussion and I may pay you a visit."
In that instant, he became the dad we all wish we had. The dad you knew to fear but you also knew would give you space and let you wander and discover. He was the dad that took her out to dinner periodically as a young teen, explaining to her that she needed to respect herself so that others would follow her lead. The dad that took her to buy her first red bikini when she was headed to a summer intensive in California at 15-years old (even though I asked that she get a one-piece because I was raised Catholic, I can't help it). He was a quiet mentor, a trusted advisor, her emotional guide. He was the perfect yin to my yang. He balanced her need for quiet confidence, because she had a mother who embodied every Italian mother stereotype that there ever was.
I grew up with my daughter. I was a hurt and damaged daughter myself, who had to overcome a lot of psychological conditioning. I continually second-guessed my choices as a mom, never wanting to make the wrong decision. I was/am/will always be filled with constant worry about Madison's well-being.
There have been so many years of anxiety about my choices as a mother and her choices as a growing independent. I've battled my need to use guilt as a parenting tool, but have also learned to go down other avenues. When someone hurts her, I turn into a fierce momma bear, a moniker lovingly used by her friends for me to this day. That's what a mom does. We all want a parent that will pull out a sword and battle the dragons for us, at least I did — so I decided to be that parent. And now, almost 20 years into parenting her, I'm learning she can wield her own sword, and that I can holster my own.
To the parents who have insulted me (on purpose or otherwise) by saying, "I would never want to be my child's best friend!" that's your rule, not mine. As the parent of an only child, it is just who we are. Even as a parent to multiple kids, it is possible to be a parent and a friend. You are their parent, their friend, their confidant. You lay down the law but instill trust, and display the kind of unconditional love that allows them to talk about whatever: sex, drugs, or Yeezy. It's "all Gucci," as my niece, Bailey, would say.
So when I was informed by a 13-year old Madison that she wanted to hold a boy's hand for the first time, you can imagine how it affected me. I got this weird feeling in my heart that's hard to describe. It felt like a combination of adrenaline, heartburn, and bliss. I tried to contain my desire to shriek and sit cross-legged on her bed and ask her all the details. If you know me at ALL, I rarely am able to contain myself, and this time was no different. I let my idealist, romantic young girl ooze out, and relished this intimate mother-daughter moment that I'd never had growing up. I was being a girlfriend, but also finding the line as a parent. I was sharing in her first crush bliss, mmhmmm-ing and OMG-ing right along with her. She gushed about his "baby blue eyes" and "sweet texts," and I gave her mom advice on how to handle it and move forward.
Later that week, I watched the hand-hold take place, and I may have shed a tear. Not because my baby was growing up, but because she wanted to include me in one of her milestones, something I didn't echo at her age. As a mom, I am proud to say I have been included in all of her milestones. As a friend, I am proud to say I celebrated them with her.
In our 19 years of marriage, we've had more than our fair share of parenting tests, and have learned the lessons that we've passed on to our daughter. Would people write a book about our process? Probably not. Would they learn from it and find it helpful for their own style of parenting? Maybe so. I am often asked for advice from friends just starting their parenting journey. When teaching your kids about love and relationships, the best thing you can do is show off your accomplishments while letting them walk next to you during your mistakes. When you learn together, you grow together.
This John Mayer lyric said it best:
"Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too."

Priority and Service Commitment
Review the Computing Services priorities and levels of commitment.
Levels of Service Commitment
Standard Software
Computing Service's service level commitment for the standard software suite will be to provide basic operational support: installing, maintaining, troubleshooting, and upgrading the suite. It is understood that even with a standard suite, some faculty and staff may have more in depth expertise with a particular program than the support staff.
Decisions to add, delete, or upgrade software in the standard software suite will be based on input from faculty and staff, proven product benefit, software costs, computing staff resources, and compatibility with the computing environment. Additions or modifications to the standard software suite will be available after appropriate testing.
Testing will be done by Computing Service and a test users group comprised of faculty and staff members most likely to utilize the program(s) in question. The purpose of the testing will be to determine the value and compatibility of the program.
Non-Standard Software
Installing, maintaining, troubleshooting, and upgrading programs not in the standard suite will be up to the individual.
Computing Service will provide very general consultation and assistance with applications and systems not included in the standard software suite. This includes locally (on a user's computer hard drive) installed application software. This assistance will focus on ensuring the software will not adversely affect the computer network.
Standard Computing Hardware
Computing Services will install, maintain, troubleshoot, repair, and windows upgrade university-owned standard computing hardware. The standard computing hardware consists of computers, printers, scanners, and associated peripherals. These peripherals include DVD drives, hard drives, monitors, graphics cards, etc.
Non-standard Computing Hardware
Computing Service will provide very general consultation and assistance with Windows based PCs. This includes Macs and Unix workstations. This assistance will focus on ensuring the hardware will not adversely affect the computer network.

Without the balance sheet account, Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts, all of the accounts receivable are assumed to be collectible and there is no bad debt expense reported on the income statement until an account receivable is written off. This approach is known as the direct write-off method. (When an account is written off, the entry will be a debit to Bad Debt Expense and a credit to Accounts Receivable.)
When the account Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts is reported on the balance sheet, the company anticipates that some of its accounts receivable will not be collected. In other words, without knowing specifically which account will not be collected, the company debits Bad Debt Expense and credits Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts. This results in an expense on the income statement (sooner than would occur under the direct write-off method) and a reduction of the current assets on the balance sheet. (When an account is written off under the "allowance" method, the entry will be a debit to Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts and a credit to Accounts Receivable.)

Innovative workspace leasing company WeWork has finally released its initial public offering, preparing to be the latest in a long string of highly-valued technology companies to go public.
WeWork, of course, rents out workspaces to companies of all sizes—from brand new startups to major enterprises like Microsoft. Earlier this year, though, the company re-branded as the We Company as a way to highlight how they have broadened their business holdings which now include the WeGrow elementary school and the Flatiron School coding academy.
In its Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing, the New York-based company said it will list under the market ticker symbol "WE." Also, in its filing, WeWork named several banks as underwriters for the IPO, including Bank of America, Barclays, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, UBS, Credit Suisse, JPMOrgan, and Wells Fargo. Furthermore, the company has also revealed a plan to issue three classes of stock. Quite the unusual move, WeWork will issue Class A common stock for public sale—at one vote per share—and Class B and C common stock that carry 20 votes per share.
You may recall, earlier this year, that WeWork originally announced amendments to a confidential SEC filing with the IPO. However, they did not disclose any other terms to the public at that time. Updating that announcement, WeWork appears to expect the IPO to launch in September.
In a company filing, WeWork said, "We have grown significantly since our inception. Our membership base has grown by over 100 percent every year since 2014. It took us more than seven years to achieve $1 billion of run-rate revenue, but only one additional year to reach $2 billion of run-rate revenue and just six months to reach $3 billion of run-rate revenue."
The company also admits that losses are historically common for them, especially in regards to continued growth at an accelerated rate. Should this continue, however, profitability may not be attainable in the foreseeable future, at least not at the company level.

So, you're just walking down the street one day when you find a card. You don't think much of it, but it catches your eye and you pick it up. However, this wasn't just some lost playing card, or a dropped business card, but a small piece of divinity, imbuing you with extreme power. What would you do next? That's what Divinity Card, a new RPG that's up on Kickstarter now, asks.
From the campaign:
Divinity Card is a game that asks you what people do when given miraculous power. Do you chase godhood? Embrace mundane humanity? Trust the giver of powers? Try to smite him? All of that is up to you. As a player, you have been given a piece of divinity. This might be a supernatural power, hidden knowledge, or even a Capture card, that allows you to store the essence of anything as a conceptual weapon. Whatever it is, it is undeniably powerful. You are powerful.
You'll be vulnerable as well, as one of 1,000,000 constantly decreasing card bearers caught in a watchful world hungry for power. When you seemingly wield miracles but can die from a simple bullet, the world can turn ugly! However, you'll have other players by your side, hopefully, and there's a lot going on outside your own adventures.
Suddenly people and groups are racing, fighting, and searching for these cards. Some because the cards give power themselves, some to trade for wealth, some to become a god, and others to disprove that the being even was God (some think Satan, aliens, or even a human). Some cards are Capture cards, storing in a small card anything you wish (weapons, attacks, animals, objects), others grant mystic powers or hidden knowledge. There is even a rumor that the one who gathers all cards will receive a "Divinity" card as the method of godhood. And so the race begins.
The campaign's a little more than 1/4 of the way to its goal with 11 days still to go.

The king is back. Tiesto at Hakkasan. All behold.
Hakkasan would not be Hakkasan without Tiesto. His multi year residency has taken the strip by storm. You know if it is a Tiesto night at Hakkasan that you will have a great time no matter what. He brings out the people, specifically the party people.
Housed in the MGM, Hakkasan is a restaurant by night. A very good one in fact, if you haven't gone there you should. Some of the best top tier Chinese food on the strip. By night however, Hakkasan morphs into a nightlife mecca where people from all over the world gather to rage their faces off.
Last Saturday night was no different. Tiesto was welcomed to a roar as he came on the decks a little past 1am. For the next 2 hours he played to a crowd that was upbeat, energetic, and beautiful.
Some highlights of the set included – L'Amour Toujours feat. Delaney Jane Tiesto Edit Dzeko & Torres, Secrets feat. Vassey, and Get Down with Tony Junior and Tiesto. For some future dates please check out the Hakkasan calendar here. Mark up the next Tiesto dates and don't miss out!

Burton Conservation Volunteers
improving the environment, promoting wildlife conservation, encouraging community awareness
Affiliated to TCV (The Conservation Volunteers)
|About BCV
Burton Conservation Volunteers was formed in 1993. Over the years, we have established ourselves as a group seeking to improve the environment, promote wildlife conservation and encourage community awareness. We are affiliated to the national charity TCV (The Conservation Volunteers - formerly BTCV).
We have a busy schedule of tasks all year round. The projects we undertake include hedge-laying, creating new wildlife areas, and building structures such as stiles, footbridges and steps. We undertake scrub clearance and woodland management work. We plant new woodlands, hedges and orchards, and create living willow structures.
Our work is based mainly around the Burton, South Derbyshire and Lichfield areas. In East Staffordshire we have worked on the footpaths and reed beds at Branston Water Park, and we have also had a big input on the Kingfisher Community Project and the Jinnie Trail and Rolleston footpath network. In fact, if you have been out for a walk locally, you will most likely have come across or walked upon our handiwork!
Major projects around the Lichfield area include the restoration of a Victorian garden, and the creation of a sensory garden and wildlife area for a special-needs school. We also work with Lichfield District Council on some of their sites such as Pipehill Common and Chasewater.
Wherever we are working, we aim to involve the local community as much as possible, to encourage local people to take responsibility for their own environment and hopefully continue to look after the work done.
The group also has its own organic allotment off Anglesey Road, which includes our own tree nursery.
We provide all the necessary tools, insurance and safety equipment for the task in hand. Each task is planned and a risk assessment produced.

Music plays an important role in the growth of children. From birth, babies respond positively to music. Songs are used to help children sleep soundly, learn a language, develop logic, gain knowledge, and of course, songs also bring a lot of fun. Music has a particularly big impact on the lives of special children. For children with communication problems, music is an excellent method of healing and learning.
In one of his piano performance tours, Paul Nordoff, an American pianist and composer, met Clive Robbins, a teacher for boys and girls with complex learning needs. Paul Nordoff was greatly touched by Clive Robbins's teaching of music to severely disabled children. They then teamed up to establish the well-known Nordoff-Robbins Center for Music Therapy. They believe:
"Music is an inherent part of us all: the pulsations and rhythms that accompany our heartbeat, breathing, and movement; melody exists in our crying, our laughing, and our singing; rhythm and harmony of various musical styles accommodate all our emotions.
Even disability or illness can't sever the intimate resonance between people and music. People do not need music training or professional background to generate the resonance."
Recently, a popular home video shows the power of music therapy. Amy Bowman Gray has five children. Among them, her 2-year-old son Bo suffers from Down syndrome. Bo can only speak a few words, and learning a new word is very hard for him. She wrote: "Bo is 25 months old, and he only knows 12 words."
On January 16, 2018, Amy needed to take a shower. She asked her daughter, Lydia, to take care of Bo. It is a tough job to look after a toddler, even for a few minutes. Luckily for Bo, his sister is quite versatile. She is good at playing the guitar. While waiting for their mom outside the bathroom, Lydia played Bo's favorite song, You Are My Sunshine. As their mom stepped out of the bathroom, she saw Bo was happily singing with his sister. She wrote: "Without the guitar, I wonder if Lydia would have been able to look after Bo."
What amazed Amy the most was that her speechless boy knew some words in the lyrics. He could even speak the words under his sister's guidance. Lydia intentionally left out the last syllable, and Bo completed it.
Music has brought a miracle to Bo's language learning. When other methods have failed, Lydia has been helping her brother to increase his vocabulary by singing with him. Amy wrote: "Every word that Bo knows comes from music and singing. This is a validation of music therapy."
While playing the guitar for him, Lydia gives all her attention to Bo and patiently encourages him to join in the singing. She guides Bo to find the right word to sing. As the room fills with sunlight and affection, another sibling is drawn to sing with them.
Since Amy posted the video on her Facebook page, it has been forwarded 55.67 million times and can be viewed here:

Bernard "Bernie" Sanders (born September 8, 1941) is a U.S. Senator representing the 9,615-square mile patch of progressive insanity that is Vermont. After having served nearly a quarter of a century in federal office, a demented Sanders has developed delusions of grandeur, and recently announced a 2016 presidential candidacy, genuinely believing America is ready to elect a senile socialist to the White House.[1]
Aided by an army of young white people with money and the Internet, Sanders has become a popular "meme" candidate, along with Donald Trump and, previously, Ron Paul. Sadly, Bernie's losses in important primary states seem to spell doom for his promising campaign, and the two percent of millenials who actually bothered to vote will hang their heads in shame, their nascent political optimism crushed by reality's cold grip.
Political career[edit]
When Sanders was a young man, Eugene V. Debs told him "Socialism ain't that bad, here, read some pamphlets." He's been a leftist ever since.
Sanders was mayor of Burlington, Vermont, for several years, turning the cozy New England hamlet into a repressive socialist dictatorship. Dozens of Bernie Sanders statues were built in the city, and hundreds of bunkers were constructed, dotting the landscape like goosebumps on a moderate Democrat.
Sanders was elected in 1990 to the House of Representatives as an Independent. Nevertheless, this hasn't fooled anyone, as his views often line up with that of the Democratic Party. The tiny state of Vermont has only one congressman, which let Sanders fight against corporate monopolies while being in one. However, in 2006, he moved "up" to the U.S. Senate, where instead of representing all of Vermont, he represents half of Vermont.
2016 Presidential campaign[edit]
Sanders announced his bid for the American presidency in April of 2015. Since then, Sanders has raised a decent amount of online loot from college hipsters on the coasts, but still trails a scandal-plagued Hillary Clinton by double-digits nationally. Because he's the 2,096th old white man to ever run for president, he's naturally had trouble attracting voters who don't look like they stumbled out a Homestead Strike re-enactment party. In fact, from what's posted online you'd think his base was made up entirely of cocktail socialists and angry Minnesotan millennials. But Sandernistas are sure that Hillary Clinton's fumbled attempts to quote "Nae Nae" unquote in front of 20- and 30-somethings will drive all the tan people into Bernie's wrinkled arms.
During 2015, Sanders became a favorite target of the Black Lives Matter movement, largely due to the fact that he happens to be an older white male from a state that is 95% white. This was exemplified in August of 2015 when two Black Lives Matter agitators took the microphone from Sanders and hijacked his campaign event. Sanders quickly realized the sight of a geriatric cracker screaming at two black women would bring up some bad memories, and he yielded his microphone. He then went on a campaign to attract black people who'd of otherwise voted for Hillary, who's married to a black man herself.
Sanders is a candidate for the Democratic Party's nomination for president in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. If he is elected, he promises to end income inequality, protect the environment, and start a political revolution by which the means of production are democratically distributed in the workforce. Through heavy government reforms that'll totally pass congress, Sanders promises to end the influence of the billionaire class in politics by gathering them all up in prison camps and slaughtering them like the filthy kulaks they are.
Workers' councils (or "soviets" as Bernard Sandersov has taken to call them), will form in every state, and private property will seized, redistributed and owned collectively by the people, not by middle management cunts who don't pay me enough for overtime, I needed that raise a year ago. The tyranny of the bourgeoisie classes will be replaced by the light of worldwide Socialism. Workers of the world unite! Take your weapons and shoot down the capitalist swine! You have nothing to lose but your chains![2]
Sanders has a rabid following, made up of many of the same people who voted for Barry O'Bama, now disaffected enough to vote for a democratic socialist, but not enough to give up on the whole "democratic process" thing. He tickles his supporters' ears with all the usual liberal claptrap: break up the big banks, end wealth inequality, free healthcare, free education, free state-sanctioned girlfriends, free wi-fi and complementary breakfast, and that the inherent contradictions of capital accumulation will create a massive economic collapse, paving the way for socialism to rise from the ashes.
It's likely that many disaffected voters who wanted Elizabeth Warren to run have flocked to Sanders. This may have less to do with the candidate himself and more to do with the fact that he's running to the left of Hillary Clinton, which is essentially "somewhere to the left of Trump". Sanders has been drawing respectable crowds for his campaign events, something that has been largely ignored by the national media, except MSNBC. His rise in the polls has left many pundits stumped, as he is the first unabashed leftist to enter the Democratic primary in ages.
His support online throughout the 2016 election cycle has been divisive, with parts of his rabid fanbase becoming compared to those who supported Ron Paul. This of course has lead to some backlash, and question over whether or not that specific segment of his supporters actually understand Bernie's policies, because it seems that these people in particular are picking him just because he isn't a woman[3] or an orange, as opposed to his political leanings, and perhaps in ignorance of them.[4]
Sanders's platform that the United States should not be allowed to become a corporate capitalist oligarchy has made him unpopular with numerous corporate sponsors, who promptly funneled their corporate dollars into helping publicize Hillary Clinton's campaign, and painted Sanders as "bad for small business". After all, should Sanders deliver on his campaign promise of creating US jobs, their practice of sending jobs overseas might be endangered, and CEO pay would not continue to increase a hundred-fold every year. Moreover, Sander's stance on leaving the government out of the bedroom and refusal to promise to regulate the female body made him unpopular with top church leaders. Trump himself said he is waiting eagerly to "fire" Sanders publicly, either right before or after he "fires" Obama and Hillary.
Hillary supporters and feminists who want a woman for president, believe that Sanders will only divide the popular vote, and that everybody will vote for Hillary in the end anyways for lack of better alternatives, should just vote for Hillary in the primaries so that Hillary will have enough campaign money to persuade the majority of the country to vote for her in the November elections. Because nothing persuades the "average Joe" like throwing more money into mud-slinging ads on each and every possible television channel. Clinton supporters say that Sanders is completely unelectable, but by voting for her their residual Sanders support will help move Hillary's agenda to the left.
Sanders has been called the lefty version of Trump (mostly by bloggers who need the ad revenue), in that he's an old man with funny hair who yells a lot. Old men with funny hair who yell a lot make up 89% of all seniors, so this comparison is unfounded. It is true that both candidates saw an unexpected and meteoric rise to popularity, partly because Americans didn't want to see a Bush versus Clinton fight, like Wall Street would've liked.
In the unlikely event that Bernie Sanders wins the primaries, which would mean getting the keyboard warriors on reddit to get off their futons and vote, the country will have to choose between a democratic socialist and a national socialist.
Political views[edit]
Sanders is a self-descrbied socialist. He is thus the only socialist in the Democratic Party to call himself a socialist, which puts him in the party's extreme wing, by himself, as every other socialist in the party calls himself "progressive" or "liberal." Everyone other than Sanders instead describes him as the "rumpled" candidate, though this does not make him unique.
Sanders's embrace of the "socialist" label has been called a remarkable case of self-outing. It shrewdly deprived his opponents of a successful accusation for him to accuse himself of it. Sanders' opponents in the Democratic primary have been unable to offer a criticism of him, except that he says too openly what they believe. Some actual academic wine-sipping, paper-writing socialists have called him out for watering down the term socialism in the American psyche to the point that it now only means, "don't shit on the poor." But at least they're glad some Americans don't recoil at socialism like they do a side salad at Burger King.
- ↑ Because of Trump's unstumpable success with his trademarked brand of right-wing populism, it seems that America is ready to elect literally anyone.
- ↑ It's like that Dolly Parton song.
- ↑ Hillary Clinton is a woman. I'm Hillary Clinton and I approve this message.
- ↑ O'Malley seems to have avoided the attention of these rancid brocialists by being part tangerine.

NOT the question and bears no relevance.EricJ wrote:...But did you SEE it?
Please shut up and don't steer the conversation away from where it was going.
(See how nice that is???)
I think Mo-Cap is just another tool like CGI is.
It's just that it's one of the "newer ones" as far as feature films go -- not really, it's been used in video games for well over a decade-and-a-half now -- and it's been so misused by higher-profile names that it gets an automatic bad rap.
(I could really give a fig about what Cartoon Brew and Jerry Beck think now. They've been wrong on so many issues, dismissive and rude towards many fans and people in the creative community, and frankly sweat the small stuff way too much. We give these guys way more power than they really have or deserve. They have devolved into parody...)
*** WETA knows as WETA does and we'll leave it at that. They are now what ILM was 30 years ago. Leaders and craftsmen. ***
I don't care for Mo-Cap being a sole animation source but it has its place again as an animation tool and seems to have worked well for martial arts video games like Tekken and Virtua Fighter.
Just please don't give us more Polar Expresses and Final Fantasies... Those films looked waxy and eerie! Granted, it wasn't technical failures alone that made the Final Fantasy feature and Zemeckis' Mo-Caps fail...
P.S. -- More people would be dismissive of CGI had the first few Pixar films been more like the cheap direct-to-video CGI features generally are. We'd be saying many of the same things about CGI all the time that are being said about Mo-Cap. It's not the tool, it's how well it's implemented...

Often when booking a venue for your event the last thing you think about is how to accommodate for your musical entertainment. However, having quality live music at your event is never cheap, so here's a few tips on how to avoid common problems.
Sound Limiters! A bands nemesis…
Many venues that aren't built with the intention of regular live music have sound limiters, which can really affect the music for your event. Sound limiters have a set decibel level, once a band exceeds this they either cut the power, which will turn off the PA system or they'll dip the sound out temporarily. Any quality band will have experience with this and will be able to advise you, however make sure you get all the details from the venue regarding their sound limits and expectations.
Performance Space
The performance space is a really important thing to anticipate. It may sound obvious, but if there's no room for a dance floor, no one will dance. When visiting a venue make sure they have a sufficient performance and dance area with access to power.
Al Fresco Events
Playing outside is fun and feeling the wind in your hair is refreshing….but be prepared for outdoor shows to come with a lot of red tape. As musicians we spend thousands of pounds on our gear, therefore it's important to protect it from the elements. We also have to protect ourselves, as things like sunstroke can cause gig cancelations. Therefore make sure you always have a plan B and be prepared to pay for generators, flooring and marquees…Outdoor events don't always mean you can save on performance expenses.
Looking after your band
It's easy to forget when you see people do something they love for a living, that it is still work. A band often drives for hundreds of miles before getting to a show, the working day averages around 18-20 hours and there's a lot of paperwork, costly equipment and years of training that goes into every single show. You'll notice in most contracts there's a section that states the band will need food, water, parking and a changing area, make sure these are made available before the performance.

Late Wednesday night, a young Black woman —who had every right to state her opinion online— made a comment about rapper French Montana.
It was a simple opinion, void of epithets and not directly tagged to the star. "The fact that French Montana thinks anyone cares about him…," the woman wrote.
But for whatever ungodly reason, French decided to clap back with a comment so foul we'd rather not type it out.
"Nappy ass poetic justice braids?" This is no doubt a dig to her race and beauty at the same time. And like clockwork, Twitter responded by dragging the tan out of the Moroccan born rapper for his
In defense, French naturally played the race card, saying there's no way he could be racist when his son, mother and ex-wife are Black. He also added that he was raised in Africa for 13 years and doesn't discriminate.
Words, words, words.
History proves that calling out every Black person you know in an attempt to cover up your racism is a sure way to expose yourself. But his response to the woman is evidence enough of his ironic anti-blackness.
Let's consider this: French is known in the hip-hop community for making money off the Black culture. He's also done very little to uplift those in the Black community he profits from. Adding insult to injury, French reportedly left his aforementioned "beautiful black queen" wife for a Kardashian, right before dating the ultimate cultural appropriator, Iggy Azalea.
But we're going to go high, when they go low. Race versus ethnicity debate aside, it ain't right. The undertone of his comment was pure, untamed racism.
French, in all his insecurity, decided to out one commenter among the many to publicly degrade, and the fact that she just happened to be a black woman, was no mistake. Not with his history of anti-blackness.

US-South Korea Military Exercise, An Act of Provocation directed against China
BEIJING — Negotiation, rather than flexing military muscle, is the best way to resolve disputes between key global powers.
A joint navy drill by the US and the Republic of Korea (ROK) in the Yellow Sea has aggravated concern among East Asian nations, especially China, over regional peace and stability.
The participation of the 97,000-ton US aircraft carrier George Washington in the exercise has attracted widespread media coverage and its involvement is a move that is hostile to China.
The spate of recent activity by US aircraft carriers is fresh reminder of a series of unfriendly moves by its navy in the waters of the Yellow Sea since the 1990s.
In 1994, a fleet led by the US Kitty Hawk intruded into the waters along China's maritime boundary line on a so-called cruise mission. The US formation of naval warships trespassed into China's territorial waters and went even farther to closely trail a Chinese nuclear submarine, which had just finished a long-distance cruise mission.
This ill-advised move plunged the two countries into confrontation mode for a time.
Recently, the US' "Victorious" surveillance vessel conducted an unauthorized mission in China's exclusive economic zone and even used water cannons to expel two Chinese fishing boats in the vicinity.
The current US-ROK drill, which was repeatedly put off since June, is by no means a purely military move aimed at the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) for its alleged torpedoing of the ROK naval vessel Cheonan.
The US navy had for a long time avoided any provocative military moves in the Yellow Sea although Washington possessed several military bases in the ROK and Japan
In fact, many of its naval fleets, including the George Washington-led Seventh Fleet, are deployed in Japan's Yokosuka port.
The Cheonan incident, however, has provided a rare opportunity and excuse for the US naval force stationed in the ROK and Japan to actively intervene in regional matters.
A joint drill with the ROK in the key waters off its Asian military bases will help the US realize multiple strategic goals in the Asia-Pacific region.
First, the drill will help the US maintain high-pressure against what it calls a restive DPRK regime. It is also believed to be an explicit indication of the US stance that the world's sole superpower would stand firmly behind the ROK and Japan in case of a military conflict between Pyongyang and Washington's two traditional Asian allies.
In addition, a well-deliberated military exercise in the Yellow Sea will also help the US collect geographic and military information about some Asian countries bordering the vast waters.
General Ma Xiaotian, deputy chief of general staff of the People's Liberation Army, has expressed "firm opposition" to the scheduled US-ROK military maneuver.
Ma's unequivocal position reflects the country's determination and unwavering will to safeguard its maritime rights and interests. It is also an indication of China's increasing confidence in its military in the context of its growing national strength and military build-up.
The Yellow Sea is pivotal to China's core interests given that it is related not only to the extension of the country's maritime rights and interests but also with its maritime security.
If the US and ROK continue to act willfully by holding the controversial military drill, it would pose a challenge to China's safety and would inevitably provoke a huge backlash from Chinese citizens.
Today's China is no longer the China of a century ago that had no choice but to bend to imperialist aggression. After decades of development, especially since the adoption of the reform and opening-up policies, China has become the world's third largest economy and possesses a modern military capable of any self-defense missions.
Nevertheless, the US military force, especially the fighting ability of its aircraft carriers formations, has also become far stronger than what it was a century ago.
The radius of the US military operation has expanded to more than 1,000 kilometers, which means a US military mission in the waters off the ROK can still constitute a huge deterrence to China and other countries along the nearby coastline and strike at strategic targets deep inside their territories.
With an unchallenged armed force, the US has never relented in its efforts towards long-planned strategic adjustment in the Asia-Pacific region. Under this strategy, the US has gradually increased the presence and activity of its warships and airplanes in China's surrounding maritime area.
More worrisome, the US has seemingly become less restrained in its move to push forward an Asian version of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization with its allies in the region.
In so doing, Washington has harbored the obvious strategic intention of containing China – whose economic and strategic influence has kept increasing in the international arena – in a bid to preempt possible troubles that the fast-growing nation may cause to the US.
In the 21st century, all countries should focus efforts on negotiations, rather than the use of force or show of military muscle, to resolve disputes.
