This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Andrew Wyatt's review published on Letterboxd :
This review may contain spoilers.
Nothing *truly* unexpected occurs in 'Deadpool 2'. It is, after all, a superhero movie *and* a sequel, albeit a giddily self-aware and irreverent one. As with its 2016 surprise-hit predecessor, the second installment of the 'Merc with the Mouth's (a.k.a. Wade Wilson) ultra-violent, fourth-wall-busting adventures through the 20th Century Fox X-verse is oddly beholden to the subgenre's formulae.
What's a bit perturbing about this budding franchise' latest entry – helmed by newly-anointed action film saint David Leitch ('Atomic Blonde') rather than 'Deadpool 1' director Tim Miller – is how it manages to be simultaneously more outrageous and more earnest than the first chapter.
On the one hand, it's plain that the success of the original 'Deadpool' allowed writers Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Ryan Reynolds -- who, of course, also stars as the titular wisecracking antihero -- to play much looser with the new film's humor. It feels sillier, nastier, and generally more expansive in its relentless piss-taking. It resembles a Trey Parker and Matt Stone joint, in that its scorn for everything, its R-rated funny-pages imagination, and its unabashed adoration for spectacle remind one of 'South Park'. (Although 'Deadpool 2' is gently progressive in ways that said show is not; the intimations of Deadpool's bisexuality, while still chaste and tepid, are at the forefront this outing, with absolutely no judgment implied.)
To cite one vivid example of the contrast between the original film's humor and the sequel's – SPOILER ALERT – 'Deadpool' included a passing wisecrack about Reynolds' awful CGI costume in 'Green Lantern' (2011). The new film, meanwhile, offers up a scene of Deadpool going back in time to literally shoot Reynolds in the head just before he starts reading the script to that notorious DC Comics-based flop (The actor smugly congratulates himself, "Welcome to the big time!" just before his alter ego blows his brains out all over the ill-fated screenplay's title page.)
On the other hand, 'Deadpool 2' is oddly sappy and melancholy for a film that is otherwise constantly reassuring the audience that, see, we don't take this shit seriously. Far too much time is devoted to Wade and girlfriend Vanessa's (Morena Baccarin) passionate, agreeably prickly romance. Reynolds and Baccarin are, of course, gorgeous -- well, Reynolds is when he's not hidden under burn victim prosthetics -- and they're fun to watch as they fling alternately sappy, sarcastic, and horny quips at each other. There's no intrinsic reason a love story can't be a part of a satirical film's formula. However, 'Deadpool 2' is so aggressively *sincere* about that love story that it begins to badly clash with everything else in the film. The new film is also packed with Daddy Issues and dead family backstories and other assorted heart-tugging tropes that don't fit the feature's irreverent attitude *at all*.
Reynolds, as before, gives 110% to a film that doesn't really deserve such commitment, and his charisma – and taste for self-denigrating humor – is one of the feature's saving graces. A winning Zazie Beetz as the strutting mercenary mutant Domino (super power: incredible luck) is another. Ditto a stupendous comedic set-piece where Deadpool's newly assembled "X-Force" is systematically and gruesomely wiped out in the space of two minutes by a series of ridiculous, Itchy & Scratchy-style mishaps. As for everything else, well, it's a 'Deadpool' movie: If you liked the first one, you'll probably like this one, and that built-in repeat business is probably all that Fox ultimately expects of Reynolds and Co.

Here's something we never thought we'd write: Prime Suspect is back on ITV.
Eleven years after Helen Mirren's classic detective series drew to a close after 15 critically-acclaimed episode, the show has been revived for a prequel.
Head back into the Seventies as the show finds a new lease of life in the past.
Here are five things you need to know.
1) It's based on Lynda La Plante's novels
Don't worry, Jane Tennison purists – this prequel isn't just an ITV idea. 22 years after Lynda La Plante's third and final Prime Suspect novel was published, she returned to the lead character with a prequel called Tennison in 2015.
That was followed up by a prequel-sequel called Hidden Killers – so there's plenty of material to draw from.
2) Stefanie Martini takes on Helen Mirren's classic role
You have to hand it to Stefanie Martini – it's no mean feat taking on a role made famous by Helen Mirren, with Tennison now a 22 year-old newcomer to the police force in Hackney.
"I think she's amazing and it's great to have the opportunity to look back at the character," the 26 year-old said. "Helen's performances are amazing and I found it really challenging and exciting to be stepping into her shoes."
3) The rest of the cast
Also starring in the new series is Australian actor Sam Reid, who has starred in films including Belle, '71, and The Riot Club, here playing DI Len Bradfield.
Then there's Blake Harrison, aka the Inbetweeners' Neil, as DS Spencer Gibbs, veteran character actor Alun Armstrong as gangster Clifford Bentley, and Ruth Sheen as his wife Renee.
4) It still a murder mystery plot
The time period might be different, but it's still the same Prime Suspect you know and love. Episode 1 kicks off a mystery plot as a young woman is found murdered – and it's up to Tennison and the station to solve the crime.
5) It was filmed in London
The show is largely set in Hackney, but it was filmed across the capital, including Waterloo and way out in Uxbridge.
"We were isolated in this police station in a department store in West London for four months, so it was nice when we got to be on set in all these beautiful, amazing houses," says Martini.
"We were by all these roads in Waterloo that look like they've been untouched since the 1930s. There's no sign of modern life there – that's amazing."

Cebu, Philippines — When you heard about the word "tortilla wrap" or "shawarma", what comes into your head? Is it the succulent greens with heaping beef with a special sauce? Or the hot pastry wrap that comes with it? Is it the feel good sensation you experience on the first bite? Whatever it is, surely, a "tortilla wrap" is our go to meal in our fast and ever dynamic society. When we feel the need to grab a bite but we don't have enough time to linger on long queues at the fast food joints, this food concept surely made us all crave for it.
Persian Avenue PH was started by the Lapid Brothers, Pao and RJ who actually saw the need for fresh food to go and they created their own version of the most commonly know shawarma, the Tortilla Wrap. They hailed from Manila and already have 13 branches in Manila and late last year, with the opening of the Robinsons Galleria Cebu, they ventured into unfamiliar ground and opened another branch, making it the 14th, here. It was a risky venture granted that the Cebuanos are all picky eaters and hard to please, I myself included. They actually came from a family of food loving people, who owned Lapid's Lechon.
Here are 3 Reasons Why You Should Drop By and Grab Your Tortilla Wrap at Persian Avenue PH:
- Pure Meat Filling, No Extenders. The meat in the wrap was very chunky and flavorful, proof that it was carefully made and seasoned. What I find it awesome is they generously placed beef into the wraps apart from the lettuce and cucumber. They did not scrimped on the ingredients even if the lettuce price went sky high.
- FRESH Meals. When I did took a bite from my own tortilla wrap, I was surprised when it tasted sweet. I was not expecting it to be sweet since the other shawarmas aren't. When I asked the owner, Pao, he said that it was not really intended to be sweet. He was even surprised why I asked. This only goes to show that when the food item is FRESH, then it tends to be sweet. Think about mangoes, when it is fresh and ripe, it is really sweet.
- TASTE. The tortilla wraps were definitely one of a kind. It was fresh at the same time very apt to the taste of a hungry individual. The taste was really great as it has a balance of sweet, savory and cheesy. The addition of cheese complimented well to the not so salty beef. The sauce and the tortilla pastry wrap is a best combination for the over all experience. For someone who really does not eat vegetables, this wrap got 4.5 stars for me. The crunchy lettuce is a great contrast to the meat's texture.
Aside from the wraps, I also had the chance to sample the beef shawarma rice. It was a mix of greens, beef portions and a hefty amount of rice for about 80 plus pesos. It had the distinct Persian Avenue PH taste plus a bit spiced up on the rice. I do eat spicy food but due to migraine, I usually go easy on it bit by bit. Nevertheless, I loved the beef shawarma rice and it deserves a second food trip! 🙂

Zero in a Scope
Echo the silence of the million things you've said before
No matter the amounted you'll end up on the floor
Amazing how masochistic matters of pride can become
When self-loathe chews you up down to the bone.
Appalled how life spits on your face, laughs at your tragedy
Worse than any propaganda or conspiracy theory
TV entertains your brain; you need a break from reality
While self-awareness bitches up for giving in to the fantasy.
Numbers keep adding up, it's hard to keep up with the math
The script keeps adding lines; it's hard to tell the truth
And all these elements that makes us unstable human beings
One thing takes long to end, while another simply begins.
An endless racing tests the myriad illusions of the mind
They "teach" you how to do it, at yet you fail
Constant on the search of a lifeform who's truly benign
But this quest has got you chasing your own tail.

I didn't know what to make of this team. I hadn't been able to really figure out if it was a good team, a just good enough team, or a not quite good enough team. Part of that was rarely getting to see the 3-4-5 hitters of this team all hit in the line-up together: Melky Cabrera, Buster Posey, and Pablo Sandoval. Cabrera and Posey were fixtures except on days when Hector Sanchez needed to play. But Sandoval was in and out of the line-up due to his injuries and the line-up never got a sustained look at its true 3-5 hitters. Then along came Hunter Pence. And he did his best to be a Pablo replacement except he wasn't very good initially. But that didn't stop us Giants fans from fantasizing about what could be. All of a sudden, this crazy line-up that scored runs aplenty on the road but barely at home started taking shape in our Giant fan minds. Thoughts of a 3-6 line-up featuring the Melk Man, Posey, Pablo, and Pence was inspiring. All of a sudden we had legit hitters in the middle of the order, any of whom could pop a home run or knock in a run. Just wait until we had them altogether!! Yeah, the Dodgers got Victorino and Hanley but what about that patchwork rotation of theirs? Joe Blanton? Bahahaha. We had a line-up that now could match up with LA and the better rotation. We just needed Panda to hurry up and get healthy so he could be added to this new middle of the order. Not to mention Angel Pagan had rediscovered his hitting stroke and the Brandon's seemed to be finally finding their groove. The runs were bound to pour in. We were going to be scoring like Wilt Chamberlin - a lot!
Except we only got to see that magical line-up once. It came. It saw. It scored 6 runs. It won. And then Melky Cabrera - beloved new fan favorite, unwitting creator of The Melk Men and the Melk Shake, All Star Game MVP, top run scorer and hits leader of the National League - tested positive for testosterone and was suspended for 50 games.
Um. Really?
Look, the Giants were a flawed team even with the magical new line-up. I had them clearly behind the Nationals and Reds but thought they were about even with the Braves and Cardinals. I thought they had a slight edge on the Dodgers and Pirates and Dbacks. But there were red flags. The closer by committee approach has historically failed by teams that have tried it and the Giants are using one. The rotation is statistically strong but really, the Giants have little leeway in regards to poor outings by Cain, Bumgarner, and Vogelsong because Lincecum and Zito have become such wildcards. That's what made this team so hard to evaluate. Were they a true playoff team? Were they just good enough to get in? Once in, could they survive by having the Big Three dominate?
Now Giants fans might not have the opportunity to find out. The loss of Cabrera isn't just a blow to the line-up and the defense, it's a blow to the team morale and chemistry. Melky Cabrera was one of the guys. He and Pagan and Blanco had seemed to develop a close friendship as outfielders and Latin players. Melky was respected for his work ethic and his consistency. Now all of that has been called into question. His teammates feel betrayed as well they should. On a club where the team has been emphasized, Melky has issued a huge blow to the Giants playoff chances by being selfish. And let's not mince words, it was an incredibly selfish act. He was using performance enhancing drugs so he could stay in this game and make money. A lot of money. And he did it knowing there was a risk of getting caught. Especially in a time when baseball is stressing testing and trying to clean up the sport. He did it anyways. He got caught. And now his season is over and he has dragged 24 other guys seasons down with him. Guys that thought he was on their side. Guys that thought he was a cog in the machine to help them reach their goal of making the playoffs. And let's not pretend that the Giants players are not upset. All you need to do is listen to their curt comments regarding the suspension to realize how much simmering anger lies below the surface.
And for what? Why did Melky Cabrera choose to cheat? Was he cheating in 2011? Everything is called into question now and in my opinion I think he did cheat last year. And this year he kept it up as his free agency approached. Had he not got caught, he would have suckered some team (likely the Giants) to give him a huge multiyear deal. Not only has he potentially cheated his own teammates of a playoff run but he has cheated himself. Earlier comments from this year indicated that Melky was in love with San Francisco. He felt comfortable here. He loved the vibe. He could envision being here for awhile. He had not had that since his Yankees days. He was playing on his 4th team in 4 seasons when he opened the year with the Giants. He wanted some security and a place to call home where he knew he would be for awhile. Well, good luck Melky. You have assured yourself of playing for another team next year. Brian Sabean will not resign you. Brian Sabean doesn't like to be made a fool and you have made him look foolish. He will send you packing without hesitation and you will likely have to settle for another 1 year deal to prove yourself all over again. Most fans will have turned on you, especially if the Giants now fail to make it to the second season. You will be seen as THE reason the Giants failed, if they indeed fail. Everything you were working so hard for, you have lost. Including the goodwill of Giants fans and millions upon millions of dollars.
That being said, is this a nail in the coffin for the Giants? They'll go in one of two directions. They will fold or they will steel together and get stronger. When this happened to the Dodgers with Manny Ramirez, Juan fricking Pierre became Rickey Henderson and the Dodgers surged into the playoffs. Could Gregor Blanco be our Juan Pierre? We can only hope. He did go 2 for 4 today in his first game P.C. (Post Cabrera). Still having a 3-4-5 of Panda, Posey, and Pence is at least not as agonizing as our line-up sans Buster in 2011. But those guys will have to provide a lot of key, clutch hits and the surrounding guys will need to get hot or stay hot. Belt has been tremendous in August but he and the Giants can't afford for him to follow it with a cold streak. Crawford needs to keep being clutch. And Blanco and Pagan really need to have good AB's. The Giants do not have a fork in them. But the issues that already plagued the team (no closer, questionable offense, shaky starting pitching from 2/5 of their rotation) will be harder to gloss over without the steady bat and glove of Melky Cabrera in left field.
We'll see how it pans out. The only thing we can deduce from here is that the Giants will have an additional 12-16 million to play with this offseason that they will NOT be using on the previous fan favorite formerly known as The Melk Man.

"Clean Slate is one of the most interesting and enjoyable bits of reading matter I have had for many years. As I had supported CAT for many years I felt that a reduced fee or no fee should apply - if only to show your appreciation of my support, so, I cut off my nose and allowed my membership to lapse.

I made notes on several suggestions for saving energy around our house, including grants...I applied for one and we got our loft insulated for free! We are now heating the house for just a few minutes and the heat remains all day. This has been a fantastic change in comfort in our old farmhouse and a huge energy and financial saving. Thanks to all who were so helpful and friendly. We are looking forward to our next visit..." - Bruce Perkins

RESIDENCE Vila Mariana - São Paulo/Brazil
In this old building with mixed use as a psychiatric office and residence, we proposed a radical remodeling with several masonry interventions and changes of the rooms.
The different functions of the property, working and living, became clear and distinct.
Our goal in addition to all clients' wishes was to bring sustainable solutions, such as large window openings and a periscopic solar lighting system for the entrance of natural light.
We completely reversed the layout of the residence. At the back of the property, the social area was positioned and opened to the setbacks and a pleasant garden was planted. We integrated the kitchen with the living room, and, at the request of the clients, installed a chess board-pattern floor. In the entrance which was integrated into the social hall, an office was located. In front of the building, we increased the indentation by creating a terrace for the main bedroom. An access from the back garden was added to the guest room.
We made all the rooms practical and functional with much personality, mixing new furniture and family heirlooms.

Phone Bill : $218 trillion
A Malaysian man named Yahaya Wahab, has received a phone bill worth $218 trillion AND was ordered to pay up within 10 days or face prosecution. As expected, he is ready to seek legal action against Telekom Malaysia Berhad.
Wahab said he disconnected his late father's phone line in January after he died and settled the $23 bill, the New Straits Times reported. But, Telekom Malaysia later sent him a $218 trillion bill. It wasn't clear whether the bill was a mistake, or if the phone line was used illegally after the death of Wahab's father.
I'm just happy that it doesn't happen only in India.

Insights and Inspiration
from the
From Rabbi Ephraim Schwartz
"Your friend in Karmiel"
October 22nd 2010 -Volume I, Issue 4– 14th of Cheshvan 5771
Parshat Vayeira
Walk this way
One of my newly found pleasures in life since moving to
, is my new morning ritual. In the States our mornings were always kind of hectic. Rush everyone out of bed, quickly throw on clothing, Uh Oh Mommy where's my socks? Daddy you have to sign this homework where did you put it? Quickly! Carpools coming. What should I take for Lunch? Hurry up they're waiting outside…I still can't find my socks. I don't like tuna fish again. What should I have for snack? How come we never have good snacks? They're honking already! Get Out, Get out.. whew… they're gone. I don't miss carpool. Israel
Here in
it's been a little different. We still are waking up late, they still don't know where they're socks are nor do they like tuna or the snacks they are getting(although Bamba and kosher Doritos are getting good reviews). All of that is still the same. What is different for me though, is that my children now walk to school; which is really nice. Each leaves with a group of their friends, and I am left alone with my most cherished opportunity to walk hand in hand with my three year old Elka to her Gan (kindergarden).That is truly heaven and one of the most wonderful moments and rituals of my day. Israel
Elka, you see is a great walking partner. Each day I marvel at how quickly she is adapting to Hebrew and her new surroundings. She is also, incidentally a tour guide in the making.
"Look Abba (two months ago I was Daddy) there is a Chatul (cat). A Chatul drinks Chalav (milk)".
"There is my chaverah(friend), Tilla with her Savta(grandmother) going on the Autoboose( bus).
And of course finally the one she never fails to mention.
"Hey, Abba there is a Makolet(grocery)- they sell Shoko(chocolate milk in little plastic bags), Weel Yu Bai me a Shoko( her English now starts to sound like Heberew) Abba? I Ohev (love) Shoko". As if I couldn't figure that out by now. But how can I say no to a face like that. So we walk to and from Gan each day relishing in the wonder of our new home as we sip our Shoko and hope this time and age could last forever.
Although I'm sure that this special Parent/Child Shoko moment is universal. This week's Torah portion suggests that there is something unique about the Jewish Parent/Child relationship that is not shared by other nations. In fact if you look carefully enough the entire Parsha is a contrast between our forefather Avraham's relationship with his children and everyone else.
The Parsha begins with three angels coming to visit Avraham. He interrupts his discussion with God to go greet them. After he begs them to stay over for dinner he immediately starts to get it ready. The Torah tells us how he asks his wife to make fresh cakes for them, how he personally runs out to pick the choice calf for dinner to be slaughtered and finally how he goes to the young lad, who Rashi tells us was his son Yishmael, and asks him to prepare the meat. As a child in school they always impressed upon me how amazing this was that Avraham did all this at the age of 99, only three days after his circumcision. As an adult I realized that even more amazing than Avraham doing all this, was that the fact that Yishmael his 13 year old teenage son who also had his circumcision jumped up and the Torah even goes out of its way to tell us "hurried to do it". To me that is truly unbelievable… that Avraham himself could and would run and do it is somewhat impressive but expected. But that he got his teenage son to be just as excited?! This would be amazing even if he was not sick and lying down, but that he would get up with the same enthusiasm and rush to serve his father's guests. That is some pretty remarkable parenting skills!
Lest you think that I am making a big deal out of this. If you follow the text you can see that Hashem seems to as well. Just a few verses later when Hashem continues his conversation with Avraham about the destruction of
, Hashem says Sodom
"Shall I hide from Avraham that which I must do. Avraham will be a great nation…"
The Torah then concludes this sentence and tells us what the key impressive thing to God about Avraham is. No, it is not that at a young age he smashed his father's idols and went against the common culture. Nor is it that he was willing to be thrown into a fiery furnace rather then renouncing his faith in Hashem. It wasn't that he taught the entire world monotheism, that he left his home to follow God's law or that he was the greatest symbol of hospitality and kindness in the history of mankind. What was it that impressed Hashem?
"Because I know that he commands his children and household after him to follow the pathways of Hashem to do charity and justice..."
What makes this statement even more bizarre is that Avraham at that time only had one son. He was already a teenager. Yet out of all Abraham's accomplishments it is that which makes him special and worthy in the eyes of God.
If you follow the rest of the Parsha you will find the opposite extreme by
Lot whose wife and family do not share his values. We find that he is willing to sacrifice them for the strangers in his warped sense of kindness that certainly did not begin at home. We are also told about Hagar as she and Yishmael are thrown out of the house and are wandering in the desert on the brink of death dying from thirst. The Torah vividly describes how she abandons him so as not to see him die, rather then to be with him in his last moments. If we contrast that with the conclusion of the Parsha and Avraham as he walks up the mountain to sacrifice Yitzchak as per Hashems command, we find the opposite occurs. Avraham says Hineini- I am here for you my son. Whether he will live or die is in the hands and decision of God. But Avraham the ultimate father will use even what he thought would be this last teaching moment to hold his son's hand and walk together with him. Hineini.
As I walk with Elka I look out at these same streets where Jews since the time of Avraham and Yitzchak have walked together with their children, I see other parents doing the same thing that I am; walking each morning, drinking shoko, talking, bonding, teaching. This is a country that is truly dedicated to its children, more than anywhere else I have ever seen. It's a country and a lifestyle as wel,l that for many is one of sacrifice. For some it is living in a more dangerous part of the world in order to live in Eretz Yisrael. For others it is observing Shabbos, Kashrut, or hosting guests and following the Mitzvos of Hashem despite the challenges that some time come with it. And for many it is certainly giving up much of the materialism and comforts the western world has. Yet regardless of what the sacrifice is, each parent is with their child and guiding them and passing on the message and values for which we are meant to be living. Hineini. It is that walk of Avraham.We are here with you. We walk together. And our Father above looks down and walks with us as well.
Have a truly restful Shabbos,
Rabbi Ephraim Schwartz

Although I have owned several Ford dealerships, and at one time a Lincoln-Mercury dealership, I have never been a huge Expedition or Navigator fan, and I express that on my radio show often. When I heard the 2015 models were finally going to change, I was eager to get my hands on one of the new models. I have the new 2015 Navigator this week.
2015 Lincoln Navigator
My press fleet vehicle is the short wheelbase and it has 4-wheel drive. You can get it in the extended version as well, and also as a 2-wheel drive for slightly better fuel economy. Other than the grill, new wheel options, and LED lighting in the front and rear, Navigator is largely unchanged on the exterior, and I do not consider that to be a bad thing. I always found Navigator to be attractive, the 2015 looks more modern and more like a luxury SUV, especially with the 22" wheels my tester has.
The Navigator has always had one huge advantage, and that is the power-fold third-row seat. It was the first to have a completely flat, disappearing 3rd row with just the push of a button. That remains for 2015, however many of the competitors to Navigator have caught up with the Lincoln. When they changed the third-row seat in 2007, they had to go to an independent rear suspension, and as a by-product of the seat change, the Navigator got an inherently better ride and better handling.
Changes Under The Hood
The big change for Navigator is under the hood, which has always been my issue with this vehicle. I felt it was underpowered with the old 5.4-liter V8, and it got 14-miles per gallon in town. The question is: will people consider the 2015 Navigator knowing it has a 6-cylinder engine, while the Cadillac Escalade has the thundering 6.2-liter V8? My answer is to drive the Navigator and look at the numbers.
I've been a big fan of the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost engine in the F-150 since it came out. It works even better in the Navigator. Twin-turbos kick in to create 380-horses that will pin you to the seat. The EcoBoost solves the problem of lack of power, the fuel economy for 2015 is improved, and configured properly, the new Navigator will tow 9000 pounds. All that with a 6-cylinder engine.
Nice, Roomy Interior
Inside, the changes are significant too. Nicer materials adorn the new Navigator, subtle soft trim pieces are everywhere, stitching around the dash and steering wheel add a new level of luxury, and a larger, wood & leather steering wheel is fantastic. For the first time in my life, this interior says Lincoln, not re-badged Ford. Passenger room for second-row occupants is really spacious, more so than the Escalade I tested earlier.
Select and Reserve Trims
There are two trim levels with Navigator. The Select package is the base package and it comes nicely equipped with items like navigation system, power liftgate, power-deployable running boards, and heated and cooled front seats. You also get second row-heated seats, the power third-row seat, power pedals, voice activation, front and rear parking sensors, rearview camera, and ambient lighting.
My review vehicle is the stepped-up Reserve package, which includes an even nicer interior, premium leather, the 22" 20-spoke aluminum wheels, and Lincoln Drive Control. It will cost you $6850 to move up to the top-of-the-line Reserve package.
Lincoln Drive Control
Lincoln has done more to reinvigorate its brand than simply changing its name to The Lincoln Motor Company, but Lincoln's enhancements run much further than skin deep and in order to experience the most innovative among them-like Lincoln Drive Control- you would have to get behind the wheel.
Lincoln Drive Control is not simply one feature, but rather a combination of three technologies. The first aspect of the revolutionary drive train is continuously controlled damping. This feature utilizes 12 sensors to constantly monitor suspension and body motion. It is then able to adjust the suspension in milliseconds to deliver the smoothest ride possible. Chose from normal, comfort, or sport settings depending on what you desire at the time. Changing the suspension makes a notable difference in the driving experience of Navigator.
The second aspect of Lincoln Drive Control is electric power-assisted steering, which automatically adjusts the firmness of the steering depending on your speed; fluid steering at low speeds and a tighter feel at high speeds.
Finally, Lincoln Drive Control employs active noise control, so that your driving experience is not only smooth, but quiet – free of outside distractions, and make no mistake, this is an extremely quiet SUV.
What You'll Pay
For 2015, the Navigator price went up roughly $6000 from the 2014 model, and it could have been more. A few years back when I was personally in the market for a large SUV, I chose the Escalade. With the changes to the 2015 Lincoln, it would be a very difficult decision today.
- What I liked most: Performance, interior, capability.
- What I would change: I would love to have a 7-speed automatic for better mileage.
- MSRP: Base price $65,066. As equipped $72,400.
- Fuel Economy: 15 City/20 highway/17 combined (4-wheel drive)
- Odometer reading when tested: 3240 miles.
- Weight: 6069 Pounds.
- Length-Width-Height: 207.4" long/91.8" wide/78.1" High.
- Fuel Tank Capacity: 28 gallons.
- Towing Capacity: 8600 pounds.
- 2015 Lincoln Navigator in a few words: Truly a Lincoln, not a gussied-up Ford.
- Warranty: 4-year/50,000 mile bumper-to-bumper with roadside assistance, 6-year/70,000 mile powertrain coverage, 2 years/24,000 complimentary maintenance.

I don't have any pictures of my crumble as it got devoured before I could get near it!
However, I made a crumble the other day using the frozen fruit left in my freezer.
I had some strawberries, blueberries and a summer fruit mix that had raspberries, blackberries and red currents in. I chucked these into a saucepan with 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 of honey. I cooked them down for about 25 minutes until all the fruit had defrosted and softened. I then drained them, saving the juices in a jug.
I put the fruit in an oven proof dish and got out the mixing bowl. In the bowl I added 100g gluten free flour, 50g butter and 50g sugar. I rubbed these together until it resembled large breadcrumbs, I then added 75g of gluten free oats for texture.
I put the crumble topping onto the fruit and baked on a medium heat (gas mark 5) for 30 minutes.
With the extra juices I put these back in the pan, brought to the boil and left for 5 minutes until thickened. Instant colis / summer fruit sauce for the crumble/ice cream/anything you like!

Description: D D G G This Western has become a modest cult favorite since its release in 1993, when the film was met with mixed reviews but the performances of Kurt Russell (as Wyatt Earp) and especially Val Kilmer, for his memorably eccentric performance as the dying gunslinger Doc Holliday, garnered high praise. The movie opens with Wyatt Earp trying to put his violent past behind him, living happily in Tombstone with his brothers and the woman (Dana Delany) who puts his soul at ease. But a murderous gang called the Cowboys has burst on the scene, and Earp can't keep his gun belt off any longer. The plot sounds routine, and in many ways ... (more)

The Campus is full of life again!
After a quiet summer in Lund and at LTH, it is full of life again. Students are everywhere and it is bursting with activity. Over the past two weeks, I have had the pleasure of welcoming LTH's new students in both Lund and Helsingborg. Both times were equally enjoyable, you could really feel the expectations and the excitement in the air.
When I give my welcome, I try to give a sense of why the students made the right choice. Why LTH is Sweden's best institute of technology (a somewhat subjective assessment). Why LTH is the place where things happen!
I talked about world-class research, such as the 5G world record for data rate, ScanOat – our new oat center, the STEPS research program on bio-based plastics, Google investing SEK 120 million in the company Glō, which comes from our successful nano research. No bad track record! I have also talked about student innovation: rymdduschen from Orbital Systems, Hövding and banana flour. It is wonderful that LTH can show such a broad spectrum of research, especially with the rest of Lund University!
But do we use this broadness within LTH and Lund University? I do not think we're doing it entirely, and that's why there is a lot to gain. We have an enormous potential. For example, see the plastic research within STEPS. During the summer, we launched an initiative around drones: in September, a drone flight course starts at Ljungbyhed at the Trafikflyghögskolan (TFHS), which is part of LTH. So much is happening in both technological development and applications. How can we use all the knowledge available in the university to do something new? So far, it is in its early stages, but I have great hope and I feel very positive about the near future!
And then a slight disappointment. We have a number of international students who were refused a residence permit with the motivation "lack of study purpose". Some of these students received a scholarship from Lund University after the assessment of their qualifications and motivation. I strongly question the Migration Board's assessments and call for a better dialogue between the authorities. We also have international students who have been granted a residence permit but are waiting for their documents.
This affects Sweden as a nation that provides higher education opportunities, but, above all, it affects the students who may see a life opportunity denied! The management of this issue must be better.
And then, of course, we have the housing situation for students, but there is so much trouble that I shall be abstaining…
Anyway: it is amazing to see the campus filled with life again. Warmly welcome to LTH! We will all do our best to give you a solid education and a good study time.

India win the third test by 117 runs, and the series 2-1
Four years and two months after they last won an overseas Test series in the West Indies (1-0) – just a month after becoming World Champions for the second time in 2011 – the Indian cricket team defeated Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka for the first time in 23 years, to win only their third ever test series after losing the first match. That's a lot of statistics in one sentence, but that's perhaps how historical this series has been. Granted they didn't beat the strongest Lankan team in the world. In fact, this Lankan team is as weak and inexperienced as the team in transition during the 1999 World Cup – but a win is a win. India is an equally young team in transition, and just a month after Sri Lanka lost a home series to Pakistan, they have once again seen defeat on the soil they once owned with a regal air.
These were two average teams fighting to be less average, and fighting to make a mark in a landscape peppered with inconsistency and no particular dominance from any one team. In the end, after losing a test they really should have won in Galle, India came back and won both the tests in Colombo– with new captain Virat Kohli winning his first full test series in charge.
For the first time ever in a 3-test series, India managed to take all 60 wickets. The Indian bowlers have been impressive through the season, right from the World Cup to now. They didn't concede 400 runs even once in the series.
There was a time when it was an absolute grind to achieve even any sort of result on the flat, dusty pitches of Sri Lanka, but times seem to have changed. For the second time in a row, a 3-Test series has ended 2-1 in the island nation. Gone are the days when partnerships would exceed 500 runs, and totals of 700 were par for the course – or when Mahela Jayawardene and Muttiah Muralitharan boosted their career stats simply by playing at Galle and SSC once a year.
The pitches have changed, and so have the team's fortunes. In the end, as Ravi Shastri has often said, cricket is the winner.
Here's the report card for the victorious Indian test team:
Shikhar Dhawan (7/10)
He played just the one match at Galle, scored a century, only to see his team lose the plot on the final day. Many blamed his stuck-in-first-gear innings during the 175-run chase, but his century on day 2 had laid the foundation for India to take a massive lead. He batted gamely, and continued from where he left off in Bangladesh. Much like Cheteshwar Pujara, he has become an Asia specialist too.
Murali Vijay (7/10)
He came back in Colombo to be out LBW off only the second ball of the innings. His second innings 82 was an innings of substance and class – one that set the tone, and one that he has been known to play as the first-choice opener of this team. He missed the game at SSC, but will be relieved to finally be part of a winning team overseas after countless failures.
KL Rahul (4/10)
Irrespective of what people say about the talent and promise he shows, I'm just not convinced. He is too loose to be an opener, and scored only 126 runs in the series, out of which he scored 108 in the first innings of the second test. He finished with a pitiful average of 21, with 5 single-digit scores (and 7 such scores out of 9 total career innings – the other two are centuries). It's not that he's a hit-or-miss player; he misses a lot. If not for that dropped catch, he would have been out for 14 that day too. He proved to be a good slip catcher for the team, but dropped a few crucial ones. He has a long way to go before he cements himself into this team.
Rohit Sharma (6/10)
He ended up as India's second highest scorer with 202 runs – but that's a convenient stat. Dhawan and Vijay played just a match each, and Ajinkya Rahane was put in at no. 3 to accommodate Rohit at 5. Rohit could have done more, as always, and two half centuries aren't an indicator of the hard work he had put in just to stay at the crease. He also pulled off India's best close-in catch of the series at short leg. It'll be between Rahul and him for that coveted test spot, and as of now, he's in the lead.
Ajinkya Rahane (6/10)
Except for the one century in the second test – a crucial one at that – Rahane disappointed, and showed that he isn't exactly used to being juggled around the batting order. His knock was a match-winning one, but he needs to be more consistent in order to cement his spot as India's most reliable batsman. As of now, he has to get used to an unfamiliar no. 3 spot. However, he has been India's best fielder, and broke the world record for most outfield catches in a single test match at Galle. Safest hands in the team, by far.
Stuart Binny (5/10)
He either batted or bowled – never did both in the same match. The two matches he played – he contributed to some crucial moments, but bowled far better than was expected. He contributed with the bat at SSC in the second innings with a counter-attacking knock, and many will agree that he has punched above his weight in the series. I still feel that Bhuvneshwar Kumar would work better as an all-rounder in the squad.
Wriddhiman Saha (7/10)
He was exceptional with the gloves, as well as the bat in the two tests he played. He showed application, innovation, aggression and promise – to convince selectors that he is MS Dhoni's worthy successor behind the stumps, at least in the longer format of the game.
Virat Kohli (7/10)
Once again, he was India's highest scorer in the series, but could have contributed far more if not for his tendency to waft at balls outside off. He led his team well, and has learned fast after his lessons in Australia. Not many captains have won their first series in charge away from home, and Kohli's ability to rotate his bowlers and chalk out plans for the important Lankan batsmen will always stand out.
R. Ashwin (8/10)
Man of the Series, with 23 wickets, and a crucial half century at SSC when India needed the runs, Ashwin has finally become India's lead spinner – and has proved that he can bowl on pitches that don't always assist him. He showed brilliant control and looped, dipped and spun the ball to deceiveKumar Sangakkara 4 times in 4 innings – spoiling the farewell for Lanka's greatest ever batsman. This was also his fourth man-of-the-series award, and perhaps the beginning of his next innings.
Amit Mishra (8/10)
Finally, India has a leg spinner in tests after Anil Kumble. The experienced pudgy little player came from the reserves and spun a web around the Lankans at Colombo, while also scoring 157 smart runs with the bat. He batted when Ashwin didn't, and proved that he was always going to be India's best bet ahead of Harbhajan Singh.
Harbhajan Singh (1/10)
He was a disaster in the first test, and thankfully, Kohli and co. realized that his farewell should have been that one-off test in Bangladesh itself.
Ishant Sharma (8/10)
A revelation in the series with 13 hard-fought and tough wickets. He was India's best bowler at the SSC, and the reason they won the match on the fifth day. His silly aggression and sendoffs aside, Ishant finally proved that he could bowl with pace and bounce, consistently, for prolonged periods, if given a little help from the pitch.
Cheteshwar Pujara (8/10)
A career-defining 146* at the SSC saved India the blushes and set them up for a record-breaking win. His duck in the second innings was forgotten – such was the sheer weight of his first-innings comeback century. Hopefully, he will find a permanent place in a side that desperately needs his temperament and calm at the crease, in a team full of flash and talent. He personifies grit and hard work, and he is the glue that can hold the team together in test matches. Kohli and co. must choose him over Rohit; there's no contest there.
Umesh Yadav (5/10)
He was expensive as usual, but made crucial breakthroughs when needed. His 4 wickets came at 42 though, and he will surely be replaced onceVarun Aaron or Mohammed Shami is fit.
Varun Aaron (4/10)
He played just one game, and was fast and inaccurate. His fitness needs some more work, and Ishant desperately needs a permanent partner in tests.

Box 666, Higganum, CT 06441, 2008, 68 pp., $12.95. Before I heard him read a couple of months ago at the Cornelia Street Café in New York City, I was somehow unfamiliar with the work of Jared Smith, although his poems have appeared in these pages. Anyhow, I was, as they say, bowled over, and I could hardly wait to buy a copy of his new book − this one − after the reading and to dig into it and spend time with it. What a pleasure it was to do so. I was not disappointed, although it has helped me in reading this remarkable collection to imagine Smith's strong, insistent, ironic voice. That's "strong" in the sense of ambitious and bold. At the reading I was reminded of Whitman − Smith's poems have a kind of all-embracing expansiveness that is (albeit lost sight of in recent decades) essentially American − though someone (specifically Diana Hume George, quoted on the back of the book) has already noted that instead I'd cite, for comparison, Philip Levine were I not occasionally mistrustful of that poet's believability as a mouthpiece for the masses. Smith sympathizes with workingmen's plight without pandering that's the only reason why he (otherwise inexcusably) looks back to the world of an exclusively male workforce. The title poem well illustrates this extraordinary quality (as does that amazing title!), but its thoughts are complex and its considerable length sustains its accumulating power, making it resistant to quotation. Much the same goes for the poem that directly precedes it, "Evening, Yes, but a Man Is Still a Man" (the initial caps on all title words throughout the volume are needlessly distracting), possibly, concise as well as powerful, the best poem in the book. Four lines at the end of its second stanza (of three) have more content and suggestion than a whole slew of almost anyone else's poems: Call him a tradesman, and he will trade every iron worker for one closed out steel mill and a teenage soldier. Tell him he is a product of the Rust Belt and the infrastructure of every city will come uncoupled. How mightily true that is (even if I can't fully identify "him") in the equal universe the author constructs to shed light on our own! Smith never takes on more than he can chew: his huge appetite is matched by his articulate mastication. This is so even when he "narrows" his sights − as in "Life at the Margins," wherein "the flaming sumac / lifts its light torch, turning scar red // wounds that will not heal, this sifter of // pollutants that know the why of human waste … . I have come to love this mark of our imprudence // as I love the cat tails that also mark our transgressions." Critical comment here: wow!!! How deeply the author plumbs into nature and humanity to show us much about both. Likewise in the next poem, with its modest title, "Of Little Things That Carry Weight": It takes an ant to care for the community[.] … It behooves one to fear [the ant] because the weight of the very small when combined is greater than all the men who ever lived in all the lands numbered in our books. The farts termites give off in shuffling about their tasks each day give off more methane than mankind's industry. I'm glad myself to think of little things that carry weight. Not because they justify our own irresponsible treatment of the planet but because we can find in them a necessary perspective. Several small poems, too, pack quite a punch. I will leave the six-line "What I Take to My Grave" for you to discover and will quote instead the whole of "Coping with Technology": I alternate wallpapers on my computer screen, letting my eyes follow the thought, going from the constellation Andromeda in a sea of black to the wattled orange face of a newly discovered bird in Indonesia, a

"I don't think this is working out, Nicole." I heard his voice say over the phone. My heart dropped. " E-excuse me? Can we talk about this in person?" I said, letting thick tears drip down my face. "No, I'm sorry. I'm changing my number, bye."
And that was the end.
Nicole Rae Villegas and Justin Bieber were Hollywoods star couple, until a unexpected breakup occurred.

Dreaming Novel Things is a feature in which I discuss book related subjects, but in a creative way. I'll use interviews, narratives and lists to talk about book trends, book opinions and bookish matters. If you have any book related subjects you'd like to see me discuss just leave me a comment below!
We bookworms are typical of many things: often reading, obsessing over fictional characters and gushing over our literary friends. But have you ever encountered stereotypical assumptions? When I say 'bookworm' what pops into your head? Here are some common misconceptions of bookworms.
WRONG! Reading and glasses are not interrelated people, one is not dependant on the other (unless you need glasses to read of course). However, somewhere down the line of history glasses became associated with books and book became associated with glasses. MANY bookworms don't need glasses to read, take Belle from Beauty and the Beast and Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter series– these are two of the biggest bookworms in fiction, do either one own a pair of specs? NOPE.
This one is a HUGE misconception because anyone who actually lives with a bookworm knows for a fact that we are not 'quiet'. We would gush, gab and rage 24/7 if we had the time but since we are almost always reading, it usually only happens about a quarter of the time. Don't mistake our reading time for 'quiet', just because we're not currently talking your ear off does not mean we are meek creatures. You want proof? Ask us what our favorite book is, you'll be there all day.
Listen up, people read for different reasons. Some read to escape, some do it to learn and some do it because their mom makes them. No matter the reason, reading is reading. I often come across references to stereotypes that the word 'bookworm' is synonymous with 'well-educated'. This my friends, is false. Not all bookworms went to college, heck my neighbor is a HUGE bookworm and she dropped out of high school. Just because we like to read doesn't mean we like school. We are normal human beings, you know.
For some reason Hollywood likes to paint us bookworms as feeble creatures. I'm tired of seeing us misrepresented. We don't all have scrawny legs and arms and some of us do have skin that has actually seen the sun. I, myself love to play tennis. Now, am I good at it? No, but I do get out and play sports now and then and do not appreciate the stereotypes. I had one friend in high school who liked reading about as much as I did and she was on varsity for the girls basketball team. So there.
Do you often feel misrepresented as a bookworm? Share below and happy reading!
