Why would any American political leader, in their right mind, help these criminal felons escape and continue to prey on Americans? You mean like Trump is doing with people in his administration, as well as pardoning Joe Arpaio? If you can't put these things in the proper context you shouldn't be trying to discuss them.

In these last 5 months since I've started at the Welcome Ministry, I often think about privilege. The other night, after locking my keys in my office for the 3rd time, I chose between asking a neighbor to let me in to sit in my building or using my key card to sit in the comfortable Munro Room at Old First. Eventually I found someone with keys, who graciously let me in and allowed me to get on with my evening resting after a few hours of inconvenience.
The same night, one of our homeless guests slept outside after waiting for hours in a crowded dirty waiting room to get a shelter bed that never materialized. Many of our guests do not get let into public buildings to use the restroom, let alone to wait for two hours for keys to arrive.
My enormous unearned privilege as a white, middle-class, over-educated professional who does not personally know addiction, mental health disabilities, or poverty sent the message to my co-workers, acquaintances, and strangers that I was not a threat and would follow the rules. But this is based on our prejudices as well as our experiences.
Why talk about this privilege at all? Why not feel comfort in the hard work I did in school, the employment with which I earn my income, or the time I took to improve my hygiene, and say that I earned the right to be treated respectfully? Because the reality is that I didn't earn it any more than my neighbors, and I don't work nearly as hard as our guests who recycle all day long, travel according to the schedule of which meal site is open for which meal, panhandle as the only source of income, or engage in sex work because they feel there is no other way to sleep inside or to have food to feed their family.
Yet, the little bits of the oppression our guests face have touched my life, which may be why I'm noticing these differences:
-As a transgender and queer person, I have experienced discrimination in the church and employment, as well as stigma at times in my life. Yet my ability to relocate to supportive communities and my other privileges have led me to be employed and housed. At times in my life when I did not have sufficient income to cover my expenses, my family has been available to assist, and I can be reasonably sure this will continue, allowing me to take risks to pursue careers based on interests and schooling rather than economic need.
-I recently celebrated 20 years of diabetes without complications- complications that I avoided due to excellent medical care and health insurance, disability discrimination protections, stable clean housing, consistent access to healthy food, and not being addicted. But I see family members for whom one or two of these missing who have not avoided complications, and I wonder how our guests with diabetes survive. Imagine injecting insulin when you can only shower once a week and have no privacy or bed- if you can manage to get the insulin and supplies in the first place.
-As a person on the autistic spectrum, I have experienced discrimination in employment as well as social stigma. But as someone with access to education, I have been able to find places where my disability is mitigated by privilege. Having access to housing has meant that I can avoid many of my sensory triggers- imagine sleeping in a shelter when loud sounds hurt your ears and you can't read the danger signs from other residents! Far too many people on the autistic spectrum, let alone people with cognitive, brain injury, or mental health disabilities are institutionalized or limited to few choices for independence and autonomy. Yes, today, even adults with physical disabilities are institutionalized not due to necessities of their disability care, but due to a combination of lack of social/medical support, social value, and poverty.
-As a person who grew up as a girl, I have seen sexism. As an adult who identifies as genderqueer but passes as male, I can avoid being minimized due to my gender as long as I don't out myself. But I am acutely aware that women, particularly women living in poverty, are still treated as children, steered into lower-paying work, silenced in education systems, and subject to violence and rape.
This is a short list, but an important one. We who are privileged to have jobs where we work in positions of power with people who have experienced great oppression must always consider these questions:
-What privileges do I experience?
-What power do I have over others?
-How can I use that power and privilege to get out of the way of the power of others, to convince others that this oppression is wrong, and to work towards truer equality?
-What power must I personally give up to do this?
I pray today confessing my abuses of power and privilege, and asking that the God who gave up all power in order to enter into our human suffering forgive me and empower me to enter into my neighbors' suffering. Let me be open to sharing the gifts of our guests and neighbors, and to work that the world might also know these gifts. God of the Israelites, of Jacob and of Paul, liberate us from our oppressing! Amen.

This is due to the influence of the majority class on traditional training criteria. In this paper, we aim to apply genetic programming to address this issue by adapting existing fitness functions. We examine two fitness functions from previous studies and develop two new fitness functions to evolve GP classifiers with superior accuracy on the minority class and overall. Two UCI credit card datasets are used to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed fitness functions. The results demonstrate that the proposed fitness functions augment GP classifiers, encouraging fitter solutions on both the minority and the majority classes.", notes = "EvoApplications2016 held inconjunction with EuroGP'2016, EvoCOP2016 and EvoMUSART 2016", }

She hasn't exactly been shy about the fact that they're trying very hard to conceive baby number two, but apparently Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's sex life has started to move in a pretty kinky direction in the hopes of giving little North a sibling. Ok, so maybe they aren't quite the next Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, but their bedroom activity still sounds pretty steamy.
A source close to the couple told Hollywood Life:
Kim is not pregnant, but they are constantly trying to get the job done and are having a hell of a time doing it. They are not at all making it seem like a chore. They keep mixing it up in their sex life to make it as enjoyable as possible. Their egos wouldn't have it any other way.
Oh, and the source adds that the whole "mixing it up" bit translates to "toys, outfits, and positions."
More from The Stir: Kanye West Makes Unsettling Confession About His Marriage
And while hearing about what Kim and Kanye do once the lights go out (or maybe they leave them on) might be a little too much information, we have to give them credit for keeping things interesting, especially since trying to get pregnant kind of kills the whole spontaneity thing.
Plus, they're trying to conceive their second child, and any parent will tell you that squeezing in sex sessions can be pretty tough. More power to 'em for letting the nannies take over making time for each other after Nori goes to bed.
But let's get back to the kinky sex itself. Toys and positions are spicy enough as it is, but who else is super curious as to what, exactly, this source meant by "outfits"? Are we talking lingerie, or like legit role playing sh**?
Wait, scratch that. I'm not sure I really want to know.
Are you surprised that Kanye and Kim have a kinky sex life?

An uncanny Eric and Ernie tribute topped the bill on a fantastic night of fund-raising and entertainment in Morecambe.
Jonty Stephens and Ian Asphitel are the spitting images of Morecambe and Wise in mannerisms, looks and comedy chemistry - and showed it at the Eric Morecambe Tribute Dinner at the Globe Arena.
The duo, who perform as 'Eric and Little Ern' on the West End stage, entertained more than 200 guests with a classic Morecambe and Wise stage routine.
It included the infamous paper bag gag and of course, 'Bring Me Sunshine' to finish.
The dinner was held to raise funds for a new Morecambe and Wise attraction in the town.
The campaign, dubbed 'Morecambe Gets Wise' by The Visitor, aims to raise £70,000 for a giant piece of wall art on Morecambe seafront, depicting the comedy duo.
This will be housed in a new 'Sunshine Garden of Fame' opposite the Winter Gardens.
Guests included Eric's son Gary Morecambe and the late comic's chauffeur, Mike Fountain, who lives in the resort.
Ex-footballers Malcolm MacDonald and Paddy Crerand were also at the dinner and regaled guests with tales from their careers.
Malcolm, who played for Eric's favourite team Luton Town and was in Morecambe 40 years to the day since scoring five goals for England at Wembley against Cyprus, told stories of his meetings with the famous Morecambe-born comedian.
MacDonald and Crerand stood in for Denis Law who was unable to be there because he was attending a funeral.
David Morris, Conservative candidate in Morecambe and Lunesdale in the upcoming General Election, also attended as did Ron Sands, Labour cabinet member for tourism on Lancaster City Council.
Undefeated Morecambe boxer Isaac Lowe, who recently won the International Masters Featherweight Title, was invited to stand up and take a bow to applause from guests.
The event also saw the launch of a new Eric Morecambe tribute beer, the Sunshine Ale, created by Cross Bay Brewery.
Singer Ashleigh Wood also performed her version of 'Bring Me Sunshine'.
Compere was Jed Stone.
Further events are planned to raise money for the 'Morecambe Gets Wise' project including The Visitor's own Sunshine Ball at the Midland Hotel in Morecambe on May 1.
The plan is to open the new Sunshine Garden of Fame in 2016 to coincide with the 75th anniversary of Eric and Ernie first performing together.
Jim Cadman, project co-ordinator, has encouraged local businesses to get involved. Contact Jim at firstname.lastname@example.com

My daughter's best friend in school had two sleep over at our place. This was last year. They had so much fun doing all sort of things, all night long.
Her best friend, since then, has been inviting Patricia to sleep over at their place. But I had manage to delay it for as long as I could, always thinking of an excuse.
I guess Patricia decided to take the matters into her own hands and told her best friend's mom that she can sleep over one Friday. [This was 2 Fridays ago]. And I was just surprised to receive a message from the mom. So I had to let her do it.
That same day, for the very first time, I decided to let Patrick commute all the way home. I would normally pick him up at the bus station. But since Patricia will be going home with her best friend, I thought it would be a perfect day to let Patrick try to commute all the way home. He had to wait for about 15 minutes for his connecting bus, and then he had to walk about 3 blocks to get home. I kept on calling him on his cell every 15 minutes. He made it home but he said he was very tired from the long walk.
Time flies... I can't believe how much they've grown.
Patricia's first sleepover and Patrick's first commute

The Professional Development committee provides highly effective training for our members and their organizations, with specific focus on best practice sharing, leadership development, and supply chain practice certification.
Our mission is accomplished by:
- Coordinating quality General Meeting presentations by leading supply chain professions
- Delivering best in class ISM certification programs
- Arranging relevant and timely supply chain skills development classes
- Maintaining a strong Centers of Excellence Team
General Meeting Presentation Coordination
A significant portion of ISM-Houston's professional development program is delivered through our General Meeting Programs. We have nine Dinner Presentations a year, scheduled the second Tuesday of each month with the exception of July, August and December. This monthly dinner is designed for networking among Houston's supply chain professionals and training in key supply chain areas. For more information on this program, please see our General Meetings page.
Strategic Supply Chain Skills Development
In addition to our General Meeting Programs and our certification efforts, we offer a significant number classes that are focused on honing higher level strategic skills. The annual curriculum for these classes is set based on feedback from our Executive Advisory Board and surveys of our members related to their current development needs. See our Professional Development Program Priorities page for more information on how this year's program was finalized.
CPSM Certification Training
Our certification training program includes extended classes focused on giving members a leg up on their CPSM certification efforts. We have separated this training into three components focused on the contents of each of the three certification examinations. These classes occur in the order of the exams over a six month period to allow students time to complete each exam before moving on to the next training course. We are committed to giving our membership the opportunity to complete your studies and exams over as short a time frame as possible.
ISM-Houston Centers of Excellence
ISM-Houston maintains a team of individuals whose purpose is to establish groups whose members have a clear focus on a particular subject area within supply management and provide leadership, best practices, research, support, and training to interested ISM members. These group members are dedicated to the principle of achieving higher levels of excellence and performance in the specified focus area. Centers of Excellence team members are committed to being available to work within their group and with other ISM members to provide and share ideas, give feedback, and mentor as appropriate. The team also volunteers to facilitate group discussion in order to develop others to achieve higher levels of maturity, expertise and skills regarding the specified subject matter.

CQ Worldwide DX Contest, SSB Call: KH6LC Operator(s): N6GQ Station: KH6LC Class: SOAB HP QTH: HAWAII Operating Time (hrs): 45 Summary: Band QSOs Zones Countries ------------------------------ 160: 61 14 13 80: 199 20 34 40: 626 24 37 20: 1949 35 99 15: 943 23 56 10: 72 9 20 ------------------------------ Total: 3850 125 259 Total Score = 4,334,976 Club: Comments: First, a most sincere thanks to Lloyd, KH6LC, for again allowing me to use his FB station in paradise. It's always a joy to arrive on the big island with great friends and good times. I love reading soapboxes, and I love stats, so this will be some of each! I had arrived in KH6 a week early, and had some time to get acclimated to local band conditions, weather, etc. At the beginning of the week, there was high hopes that a group of sunspots would appear Friday morning and save the weekend. Alas, that didn't happen, and conditions were rough to say the least. This is the second year to do SOAB from KH6, and I was hoping to significantly better my score from last year. The goal was to keep the QSO total up, but in times of lower rates, aggressively hunt multipliers. I did this, and while I did increase my mult count significantly from last year, the QSOs just weren't there like last year. I chose to start the contest on 20M, and was rewarded with the first couple hours of 300+/hr rates. In fact, my best 60-min rate was the first hour at 332. It was looking like maybe I was wrong, that indeed conditions were improving. By 0200z I was already just under 800 QSOs and things were moving along nicely. Where was everyone on topband in the early hours of the morning? I don't know how many reports I got of "you're the only signal on the band" in reply to my CQs. I confirmed this as well by spinning the VFO numerous times at good topband times and there was no one else around. The band was quiet on both ends of the QSO, and yet conditions are there. Then, as I was getting depressed about it, I begin to hear EY8MM and RU6LA more than an hour before my local sunrise on topband. As the sun comes up here, EY8MM rises to S4-S5 on our JA beverage (no preamp!). It was then that he heard me call and we had what appeared to be an easy QSO. I won't forget that QSO! Memorable QSOs: * EY8MM on 160. Nodir, you are to be congratulated on your 160M signal (and RX antennas!) * UU7J on 75M at my local sunset. Wow, what a fantastic signal! Who needs beverages when you have an S9+ signal on 75m (long path) * NR5M, K5NA, and K5TR QSOs on 10M backscatter - thanks for being there guys! I wish I could have heard zones 3 and 5 as well. Notable Bullet Points: * I noticed a significant increase this year in operators that "aren't in the contest" and don't understand what a CQ-Zone is. * Similar to above, a large increase in operators that don't come back with an exchange after I recite their entire (correct) call and send exchange. Just silence. * It pays (even when single-op) to exploit wierd band opening times/paths. (10M backscatter, long path to Europe in the middle of the night on 15/20m, etc.) Huge Signal Mentions: * NR5M - man, you guys are loud on all bands, especially the low bands * K5NA, N0NI, NR5M, WB9Z, all superb signals on topband * LX7I on 20M - all of the rest of the europeans were loud, up to S9+10dB, you guys were S9+20-30! Fantastic! * EY8MM, as noted above, on topband. Wow. * RU6LA on topband, audible long before my local sunrise. Personal Criticisms: * I took *way* too many breaks (thanks, SH5, great break analysis!). I had a total of 700 minutes of off-time. It was especially rough early Sunday morning when I was drained of energy and trying to hunt mults during the early-morning duldrums, pre-sunrise. While it doesn't feel like I was "off" for nearly 11 hours, it all adds up, and unfortunately is reflected in my score. * A better balance of rate vs. mult hunting. Last year I focused on rate (5200 QSOs), but this year I focused on finding mults. In un-assisted mode, this takes a lot of time and I didn't even do as well as I had hoped. * Don't spend so much time bands that aren't producing, in hopes that they will (topband, 10m). * What did I do wrong on 75M? I have yet to understand, but my QSO total on 75 was inexcusable and I honestly don't know what happened. * I should have done much better on 40 and 15, as the KH6LC station plays *very* well on both bands. Again, no excuses, I just blew it. Thanks to HQ3Z and K5NA for my only two six-banders. NQ4I, you guys were *everywhere*, but unfortunately 10M didn't cooperate to make a 6-bander for us. It would be very interesting to see, in the end, how scores overall compared to last year. My first impression is that conditions and participation were down significantly from last year. Congrats to the all the other KH6's in the islands who did super FB scores! Thanks to everyone for your QSOs, and please listen for KH6LC in CQWW CW!

I'm debating which to purchase now that I realize it's probably not smart to create my own RAID 0 external HDD with two 500GB HDDs with the owc enclosure considering i've never put together an external hdd in general. i've decided to shift towards prebuilt ones, by wd. only thing is, now i'm confused between the premium II vs the pro edition II. black vs white, but both are triple interface. what's the difference between them, and which should i purchase?

Meet the Team
Emily Strack – Chiropractic Assistant / Massage Therapist
Before accepting a CA Position at Total Health Advantage, I worked as a Hairstylist and Massage Therapist for 15 years in a Salon.

I look forward to contributing to the growth and success of Total Health Advantage and excited to join the Advantage Team.
Born and raised in Jordan, I married my High School Sweetheart, Jeff and we are raising 4 boys in this great community we call Jordan. In my free time I love boating, family vacations, wrestling tournament with the kids and love spending time with our family bulldog Charlie.
I am excited to announce the opening of Total Health Massage Therapy in the Total Health Office. I'm so excited to share my 15 years of massage experience with patients in the office.

I started with Total Health Advantage part time in September of 2017 and have been loving the fact that I get to see first hand how chiropractic care has changed so many lives.
When I'm not working I love spending time with my family, I have 5 sons, 4 daughter in laws, and 6 grandchildren. My husband Jim and I spend many nights at the baseball fields watching our sons and grandsons playing ball and having fun with the rest of the family that come to cheer them on. We also love spending time out west at our cabin whether it be fishing, boating or just sitting around the campfire making family memories.

When I accepted the position to join the team at Total Health Advantage, I
was pleasantly surprised to see how wonderful and rewarding it is. Seeing how lives are changing for the better with the Advantage life through chiropractic care, warms my heart.

Squad news
07 Jul 2010
Ex-Fabril Alex already knows that it will be difficult to find a spot at Deportivos squad; for the moment he isnt sure about what will happen on the pre-season, but still dreaming of performing at Primera wearing Depors shirt.
Despite midfielder Alex Bergantiños has had two solid seasons at Xérez CD, it is clear that theres no room for him at Deportivo ahead of the season 2010/11. And its that the competence of Juan Rodriguez, Antonio Tomás and Juca seem to be too much for him.
During the past week the Galician midfielder talked to Depor Sport and confessed that he is conscious that his near future is outside of Depor, If I tell you the truth, I am not very optimistic in the sense that my position is already covered by the same people of the past season. There are many and all of them with a great level.
The only exit has been Sergio, but perhaps his profile is different as hes more offensive, and for the defensive tasks we already have Juan Rodriguez, Juca or Antonio Tomás, so the position is well covered. Clearly my biggest hope is to stay on here, but the coaches are the ones that should judge if I have improved my level. I guess they will be sincere and will tell me their plans as soon as possible. He added.
Later he explained that the idea is to start the pre-season with Depors first squad, For the moment they have said that I will start to train, I guess that later the coach will talk to me and will tell me what he wants for my future. For the moment nothing is clear. My agent asked what my situation was and the answer was that nothing was already defined. The truth is that, if Deportivo decides to not count with me, my agent will search for things and then we will take a final decision, so nothing will caught me by surprise.
No matter the situation, the truth is that Alex still dreaming of playing at Depors first team, It is clear that what any player wants is to play, and my big dream is to be able to debut with Depor, but if theres no room for me, then I neither want to stay occupying a spot. Last year things were different, the issue was extended due to the renewal of my contract, but I think that on this year we have enough time. Things are stopped with the World Cup and I guess things will be slower.
Things will be resolved little by little and I hope that everything will be solved soon. If it cant be at Depor, then the first option is to try to sign for a Primera club. I know it is complicated and that the market is difficult, but thats my dream and will always be the first option. He finalized.

God wants you to be free
Here are some Bible verses about your freedom.
For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery.
Galatians 5:1
We know that our old self was crucified with Him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. For one who has died has been set free from sin.
Romans 6:6-7
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom
2 Corinthians 3:17
For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
2 Timothy 1:7
In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?
Psalm 56:4
And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

Hi, I'm going to be at a meeting for a few days next month at the Ramada Plaza on the north side of Columbus. Does anyone know of:
1) Good places close by there
2) Great places a little further away
I'm game for a variety of suggestions as I'll be stuck there for a few days. So while I need sitdown restaurants, I also plan to hit Katzinger's and would check out anything said to be really good, from drive-in hot dog and BBQ to four star.

Credit Suisse CEO to Quit Chairman Post Next Year
Partial Resignation Comes As Pressure, Losses Mount
Bowing to shareholder pressure, Credit Suisse Group said Lukas Muehlemann plans to resign as chairman next year, but remain chief executive.
The move follows the fall of CEOs this year at two other Swiss financial companies, Swiss Life and Zurich Financial Services AG. Like those two, Credit Suisse's stock has taken a beating in part because its insurance business has suffered heavy losses on equity investments.

Very easy to top up a family member's phone. Also good to be able to use paypal to pay. (Erika Edwards on Trustpilot.com)
Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) July 08, 2015
Findings of the most recent in-house study of MobileRecharge.com show that Hispanic and African expats are more generous than other ethnic groups when it comes to international top ups. More specifically, sending mobile credit to their native countries using MobileRecharge.com is more popular among Latinos and Africans these days.
MobileRecharge.com is not the only company interested in people's generosity level. The 2013 World Giving Index states the world became a more generous place than the previous year. The average percentage of people donating money, volunteering time and helping strangers all grew, despite a fall in the rate of growth of the global economy. Fortunately, MobileRecharge.com reports show the same conclusion.
The conclusions of the study conducted by MobileRecharge.com are, of course, contextual and were not meant to set standards of any kind. Instead they gave us details on which ethnic group was more generous in the last months and which are some consumption patterns specific to MobileRecharge.com fans. In other words, which larger group stands out for supporting friends and family back home and why. The study took into account only expats who use MobileRecharge.com or the MobileRecharge app.
The brief report run by MobileRecharge.com pointed out that international top ups are most popular with the following 10 ethnic groups:
#1 Dominicans
#2 Mexicans
#3 Nepali
#4 Salvadorans
#5 Cubans
#6 Nigerians
#7 Hondurans
#8 Guatemalans
#9 Jamaicans
#10 Ghanaians
All these ethnic groups make regular refills ranging from $5 to $70. On review websites like Trustpilot.com, many point out that one of the reasons they make constant top ups is that top ups are easy to make and that reach their destination instantly. What makes MobileRecharge.com popular according to fans' reviews is having all major operators hubbed in one single place. Why is this worth to mention? Mainly because it is not such a common thing to use one account only to refill mobiles pertaining to different operators in different countries.
Which networks are most popular with expats? In other words, which networks do expats send mobile recharges to? If we are to start with these top 10 listed countries, the operators most refilled are: Telcel, Movistar, Unefon, Iusacell, Nextel, Ncell, Nepal Telecom, UTL, Tigo, Movistar, Claro, Digicel, Cubacel, MTN, Airtel, Glo, Etisalat, Visafon, Digicel, Lime, MTN, Vodafone, Airtel, Tigo, Glo, Expresso.
First, it's more or less a new thing that top ups work for expats as an alternative to money transfers or other transfer of goods. They are instant and easy to send. More precisely, they are means to support family and friends in their motherland.
Secondly, mobile refills are ideal as last minute gifts. On MobileRecharge.com it takes less than 1 minute to fill in this form and recharge a mobile instantly: https://mobilerecharge.com/buy/mobile_recharge
Thirdly, customer can top up their own mobile when traveling or living in some other place for a limited period. Joan Alaniz gives more details about her own experience on Trustpilot.com, a popular review website: "Les regalo cinco Estrellas, todo funciona de maravilla cuando viajo para México de allí relleno mi teléfono Movistar y mi cuenta Telcel para poder navegar el internet cuando vayamos a México, si no fuera por ustedes no se que hubiera hecho."
One reason that may also explain the "generosity" factor of these expat groups on MobileRecharge.com may be the numerous promotions, coupons and regular offers. Top up bonuses amount to 700% free extra credit for different destinations and operators. Every day, more than 10 special offers run on the website page called Promotions: https://mobilerecharge.com/promotions
Weekly promotions run for top ups to: Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala. And regular promotions are advertised for Ghana, Nigeria, Jamaica, Cuba and Nepal.
The report on most common top up destinations generated a blog article grounded in pure curiosity rather than speculation. You can find the entire blog article here: http://blog.mobilerecharge.com/news/top-10-most-generous-nations-on-mobilerecharge-com/.
The economical factor also plays a major role in the use of top ups from country to country. When immigration takes place, we witness the separation between "those who stay" and "those who leave." Developing countries are the main sources of immigration due to the economical and social needs.
One thing is sure: generosity is a yes to life. And what the empiric study on MobileRecharge.com proves is that expats from these countries are the most emotionally and physically connected to their families due to the cultural and economical background. They are also very adaptable and open to new technology and ways to transfer goods online. MobileRecharge.com has been conceived from the start to meet such specific needs.
Every 2 minutes a new customer joins MobileRecharge.com. Plus, on review websites such as Trustpilot, it is highly favored above other similar services for the following strong point:
-Fast top up
-Easy to use service
-100% safe transactions
-Paypal accepted besides all major cards, no matter the currency or country of the sender
-No contract needed
-Daily promotions always running on the website's "Promotions" page, in the MobileRecharge app or the social media channels (Facebook, Google+, and Twitter)
-Website available in several languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Italian
-Customer Support in several languages, including English and Spanish; responsive and supportive team
-Free-to-install MobileRecharge app for Android or iOS
-Contests & offers on the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/MobileRecharge.Fan?fref=ts
-Frequent Twitter promotions and various expat life related updates
-Clear tutorials on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/c/MobileRecharge
MobileRecharge.com responds actively to feedback from top up users worldwide. New operators will soon be added as a result. The telecom specialists in the MobileRecharge.com team are constantly working on expanding the service.

Bear Trap Canyon
- June 06, 2017
- Posted by Brandon Materna
On the first Monday in May we ventured into the Bear Trap Canyon Wilderness along the Madison range to maintain switchbacks and improve the Pot Trail. Each of us loaded our packs to the gills with camp gear, food, tools, and, some, even a change of clothes. On the pleasant four-mile hike into our backcountry camp, we saw signs that more than one predator found home in this neck of the woods, so we certainly felt the gravity of the bear hang with its mass of "smellys," food and other items that might pique the interest of unwelcome critters.
Although we all pitched tents on slopes going one way or another, with a few of us needing to prop ourselves up against a tree stump as we slept (the doctor says it's good for my posture), the crew always seemed well-rested and ready to put in a hard day's work. We honed our craft in small teams posted at several switchbacks ascending across the creek from our camp, and we moved further into meadows, where we cut tread and stacked rock cairns for hikers.
Fittingly, on Hump Day we could finally notice Summer coming in. Aside from the sunshine and heat, the red cedar smelled sweeter and around every corner, lupine bloomed, honey bees buzzed, and even the mosquitoes joined the welcome party.
At the end of the hitch, as we stretched out with packs splayed around the rig, we were opened up to the possibilities and beauty of a Montana summer.

Dist. 15 is the only ISP district where the radio ID reflects the car ID. For example, 15115 is "15-115" (Or when on the D15 channels, "Car 115") and 16115 is 15-115's portable. This holds true even for the utility cars. 15272 would be "utility car 272" (when the trooper's assigned car is out of service) but the officer uses their normal radio ID.
In the rest of the districts, the radio signatures follow the pattern <Zone><Radio Type><Officer ID>. Radio type is 0 = car, 1 = portable, 4 = motorcycle. 1005358 is 17-24's car radio and 1105358 is the portable. You'll hear them reference their (or a supervisor's) ID number when calling in for overtime or time off ... "Authority 4885, my ID is 5358" would be 17-3 authorizing something for 17-24.
Another pattern is used for the utility cars (and pool cars?) and "other radios" ... <Zone><District or Division><Unique ID>. 1317201 is a utility car for Dist. 17.
Some of the other division numbers I've been able to identify (I would love to be able to fill in the holes) are -
72 - Weigh stations
74 - Riverboat
Along those lines, the dispatch radios used to follow a pattern too - <Zone><Radio Type = 9><District><Dispatch Position><Radio ID>. The radio ID per talkgroup was more of a pre-consolidation thing as now they seem to use the same radio on multiple talkgroups.
For example, 1917101 was Dist. 17 dispatch, position 1, on 17-A.
For now at least up here in the north, 1904279 -1904387 is ISP Sterling (Dist. 1, 7, 16, 17) and 1904391 - 1904398 is ISP Chicago (Dist. 2, Chicago, Joliet). 2906291 - 2906297 is ISP Pontiac (Dist. 6, 8, 10)

Paine Towers, Torre Norte and New Route on the Torre Central, West Face, 1990-1. Our expedition of Spanish Basques was active in the Paine Towers in late 1990 and early 1991. On December 8, 1990, Guillermo Bañales and I ascended the Italian route on the Torre Norte in 14 hours from camp. We first had to climb a 1000-meter snow-and-ice couloir. The actual climb had two or three pitches of mixed climbing but the other ten pitches were of moderately difficult rock. Our main objective, however, was a new and extremely difficult route on the west face of the Torre Central, to the left of the Wild, Wild West Route (see AAJ, 1991, pages 74-85). This had been unsuccessfully tried previously by Japanese and Italians. We worked on the route for some 45 days, mostly in poor weather. Bañales and I prepared 14 pitches before he had to leave to go back to Spain. I continued with Kike de Pablos. The first nine pitches were mostly free-climbing on somewhat rotten rock. In the middle part, the rock was fine but the climbing was direct-aid. After having fixed 700 meters, on January 27 Kike and I free-climbed the last 200 meters to the summit on somewhat decomposed rock in perfect weather. We descended the same route. We called the route "Kanterarik ez."

Mario Batali's Last Supper
Mario is a restaurateur, chef, and co-owns restaurants in New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Singapore.
What would be your last meal on earth?
I would have eight or ten courses of magnificent seafood, pasta, and vegetables (including raw radishes with good oil and salt). The first course would be alici marinate, marinated anchovies served with a little bruschetta, paired with a bottle of stingingly cold Furore wine from winemaker Marisa Cuomo of Ischia. The next course would be succulent mozzarella en carozza, the Neapolitan version of a grilled cheese sandwich. You dredge fresh mozzarella di bufala in egg and then panfry it until the outside is crisp, while the inside oozes with hot mozzarella. Scialatielli ai gamberetti, fresh Amalfitana pasta with shrimp and zucchini, would follow. It is made of cake flour, milk, and pecorino, and has a particularly firm texture. The pasta is the only one found in the town of Amalfi, and it breaks all the rules about "no cheese with pasta." Stained green with basil, and cut a bit wider than fettuccine but thinner than pappardelle, it represents everything I love about the city of Amalfi – a major sea power as far back as the eleventh century and home of the most beautiful duomo on the entire coast. The next course would be spaghetti alle cozze, hard pasta with spicy mussels. The finale to this shellfish extravaganza would be gamberoni all'acqua pazza, sautéed shrimp in a spicy fennel broth, and aragosta alla brace, grilled lobster with limoncello vinaigrette. I would finish with affogato al caffe, ice cream in a bath of chilled espresso, and baba al rum, a simple, yeasty sponge cake soaked in rum syrup. This would all be washed down with a sea of icy limoncello.
What would be the settingfor the meal?
A small beachside trattoria on the Amalfi Coast, under a pergola of grapes.
What would you drink with your meal?
Lots of cold Fiano di Avellino.
Would there be music?
REM would play with U2, and John McLaughlin would play acoustic with Paco de Lucía.
Who would be your dining companions?
My whole family, Joe Bastianich and his whole family, Tony Bourdain, Jim Harrison, Emeril Lagasse and his family, and the musicians and their families.
Who would prepare the meal?
The restaurant's chef - hopefully a sixty-something-year-old woman from the area.

"The consultation on the regulatory impacts of the proposed changes to byelaws is now closed and the results of the consultation were reported to the Parish Council at the meeting on 19th September 2017, were agreed and are published below."
- Statement of Regulatory Impacts (PDF, 89 Kb)
Statement of Regulatory Impacts
- Annex A (PDF, 73 Kb)
Annex A
The Parish Council has had bye laws covering its recreation grounds, parks, play areas and open spaces since 1989.
It has decided that it is now time to review those bye laws and bring them up to date.
In particular, the Council wants to make the bye laws less complex and more consistent with modern practice, remove restrictions that are no longer required, reflect changes to the areas owned or controlled by the Council since 1989, and ensure that any bye laws are a robust framework for tackling the unfortunate spates of anti-social behaviour that happen from time to time.
Before it can seek approval from the Secretary of State to consult on revised bye laws, it is required by the relevant Regulations to prepare a statement of regulatory impacts arising from its proposals. It is also required to consult and seek the comments and inputs from local users of these facilities on its preliminary assessment.
Below are links to a summary paper outlining the Council's proposals and its draft impact assessment, together with a links to a Q&A guide and, for information, the current draft of revised bye laws.
Please note that this is not a consultation on the content of the draft bye laws. This will happen later in the year once we have the Secretary of State's consent to consult. We cannot, therefore, accept comments on the content of the draft bye laws at this stage.
If you have any comments on the draft regulatory impact assessment, please send these to the Clerk of the Council either in writing or by e-mail by (Friday 25 August) at the latest.

They have VMware images too
You need to login to view this posts content.
It's not the same at all. Technet is giving away server stuff. This offer is for theirdesktop operating systems in VMware and Virtualbox.
It should not be free or it is a rare case that has escaped MS attention till now.
Anyway, this is useful for people who may not have a OS iso to make a virtual machine system. For people with DVD/iso already in hand, it is a waste of bandwidth and time. Grap the vm software (virtualbox, vmware), and create a VM in 15-20 mins.
I would say a useful link overall.

I went shopping with my mom this past weekend–and let me tell you–there are so many cute tops out there right now! Mostly it's just wishful thinking for me cause I haven't really started my summer job yet, but all of these would look awesome in my wardrobe. I love all the bright colors and fun patterns I'm seeing out there this season. Also…all the stripes!
What are some of your must-have tops this season? Leave it in the comments!

The Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting (ATCM)
From 1961 to 1994 the ATCM generally met once every two years, but since 1994 the meetings have occurred annually. The ATCM is hosted by the Consultative Parties according to the alphabetical order of their English names.
The meeting consists of representatives of:
Measures, Decisions and Resolutions, which are adopted at the ATCM by consensus, give effect to the principles of the Antarctic Treaty and the Environment Protocol and provide regulations and guidelines for the management of the Antarctic Treaty area and the work of the ATCM. Decisions, which address internal organizational matters of the ATCM, and Resolutions, which are hortatory texts, are not legally binding on Contracting Parties. In contrast, Measures are legally binding on the Consultative Parties once they have been approved by all Consultative Parties.
Only the Consultative Parties take part in decision-making. Other participants in the meeting, however, may contribute to the discussions.

hi friends! It's August. When in the world did that happen? While we still have some summer nights left, let's make the most of them. I want to spend the next month getting to know others, staying up late laughing, and enjoying the gorgeous nights. So, in light of this, my newest and biggest wish is to have a summer block party! Seriously- how fun would that be to invite the neighbors, grill some hotdogs, throw up some lights, and make new friends?
A block party can go from simple to elaborate. Here are a few easy ways to make it decorative and festive, but still a low-key event. LIGHTS, LIGHTS, LIGHTS. You know how moths are attracted to those really bright lamps? I'm convinced people are the same way. String up some twinkle lights to add some good vibes. Put on rockin' jams: my vote- One Republic's new CD. It's on repeat on my spotify right now. Or if you're going for a country feel you can NEVER EVER go wrong with Mr. Luke Bryan. Make it welcoming, keep it casual, and make sure to leave some time for dancing! For other decorations-how great are these?
Nothing says Summer Fun more than colorful streamers and a tub full of sodas, beers, and some good ol' h2o. I was in love with these the second I saw them. Keep it easy with food- grill up some hot dogs and have the neighbors bring sides and desserts. The only thing left to do is pick a night and invite the 'hood with some flyers! I am completely inspired to throw one of these bashes in the next month. I'll keep y'all updated with pictures of the results. Celebrate life and celebrate summer with an inspired and simple backyard bash!
Love and sunshine.

What do I love to do?
What do you want to do?
What will you do to reinforce that tomorrow?
I could go on for days about all the things I love to do because there's a lot that I enjoy doing. From music to video games, I could spend a life time on all of them. But, most of them I understand to be hobbies. I loved playing clarinet in high school but I never had the drive to be the best clarinet player in the world. Just good enough to get the solo. With acting, I want to get better and better at every scene and with every turn, I'm always looking for something to do better, but I can see a happy life where I never act again. With computers and programming, I get it, its like second nature to me. Every work and every character makes art on a screen and how good code flows into itself without draw backs or cut offs, but to sit in front of a computer all day hassling over the crap code that just doesn't want to work and hear everyone who doesn't know how to do something and asks everyone else around them to help them, I wouldn't last a day. Then video games. I love playing any game i can get my hands on but only once because after that its gets boring. It becomes static and worthless. two things that i know I will never stop doing though is 1: telling stories and 2: dealing with social drama. I love telling a rich story with intrigue and new surprises. I love getting any story I can if its well told. I love going up to someone and reminiscing about old times but not enough to make a career. With social drama, I couldn't tell you why. when a friend has a problem in their lives and they come to me for advice or just to vent, I get excited. I'm hearing about their problematic lives, figuring out ways to help them uncoil the mess they have, to cut the strings that hold them or bring them back from rock bottom. The idea is beyond fascinating, it's the one thing I'm really truly passionate about. I hate the idea of being a therapist though. Learning every little detail about the human condition and listening to heart wrenching problems from people who are paying me to listen. no thank you.
What do I want to do? I want to write stories. I want to touch peoples hearts with a good story in the theaters, on a page, or by voice. I want to change peoples lives by spreading my ideas in print or video games. if i could tell stores for a living, I's happily do so
What will I do to reinforce this tomorrow? I already have. It's even on my blog. under "Experiments with mythology" and "Experiments with short stories" i'm creating the backgrounds and practicing plots for writing a novel. when or if I will finish, I don't know.

You say that universities asked to concentrate on teaching, as opposed to research, will be "demoralised and angry losers" (Opinion, THES , November 23). Why so?
I think we could gain more satisfaction from applying ourselves to issues such as lecture preparation and assessment.
Will students always be prepared to pay fees for the privilege of being ignored by staff? My professor at LSE was often "in Seattle" midterm, and my Russian teacher insisted on two hours' contact a week. Maybe such institutions should become research and postgraduate only.

you have 6 days in italy
where do you go?
Or to where they filmed Captain Corelli's Mandolin?
That looked nice.
Seems that was Greece.
The "Peeatza" from the Italian Job?
to help you all with your suggestions
I was thinking more like 3 days in rome, 1 in venice, 1 somewhere else....sound good?
- TheWza this'd this
I'd probably say Tuscany
But just because it's so lush. You could do Florence, Siena, San Germiniano and anywhere else you reckon you could squeeze in. Plus Pisa and Rome are just a train ride away, though Pisa really isn't worth bothering with.
Or base yourself in Rome as there's loads to do there and make a few day trips from there.
Likewise, the Amalfi coast drive, Pompeii, Herculaneum and Ostia are all gorgeous and more interesting historically. Herculaneum is a marvelous place.
Not really been to the north, barring Venice for one day. Milan is supposedly good, if a bit industrial. And people swear by Siciliy and Lake Gada.
Rome is a good place for 6 days if you want to sample a bit of food, history, modern Italy etc and maybe make the odd day trip out (the train network there is great). Or else go for a different area and do a more concentrated stay.
Kinda also depends on who you're with. I'd say Rome is a better holiday destination for people wanting nightlife and fun whereas Florence and the Tuscany countryside is far more romantic and endearing.
this is more what i was hoping for :)
thank you vamos
I reckon trying to do Venice along with those other places is a bit hardcore though.
It's a long way away from the other places.
But to put it into context, I did both holidays as coach trips at college. The first was Rome (3 days, could maybe have done with another 1 or 2) > Amalfi Coast > Sorrento > Pompeii > Herculaneum > Ostia (I loved it, but not many folks did) and we did all that (admittedly at quite a rate) in a week or so. The second was Florence as a base with day trips to San Gimignano / Siena / Pisa. This was more like 5 days, but we left Florence wanting to see loads more of it.
Either / both would be great. I love Italy. If you go there hoping to eat some nice food, chill out and see some history then it's basically the best place ever.
I've got 11 days in Italy and I know where I'm going.
lake garda
is really really lovely, loads of nice little italian towns around the lake + venice (which found unbelievably meh, but i did see peter schmeichel feeding pigeons in the main square) is not that far away.
definately wouldn't go to milan again in a hurry, unless you like shopping.
really wanna go back to italy and head down south at some point.

I did select the iFrame codes, and use the raw iFrame codes to create a snippet using my XSitePro 2.5 web design software to create the Form page. It appears like it simply displays what it is without auto adjusting itself to fit the mobile screen.
Did I miss a step in setting up the form to be mobile optimized?

Over 35,000 displaced Tamils still in camps
More than 35,000 internally displaced Tamils continue to be in camps in northern Sri Lanka amid a cash crunch faced by a top aid agency for their welfare.world Updated: Jul 28, 2010 23:41 IST
More than 35,000 internally displaced Tamils continue to be in camps in northern Sri Lanka amid a cash crunch faced by a top aid agency for their welfare.
Latest government statistics have revealed that at least 35,333 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) were still camps set up in early 2009 for those who crossed over to the government side as the civil war came to an end in May, 2009.
The government claimed to have settled 267,393 IDPs till last week. Critics have pointed out that most among the "resettled" IDPs have simply been released from the main camps to be moved to transit camps or temporary accommodations; some have even set up their own tents at their own places of origin. And rehabilitation is still a long way off.
Amid all this, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRCCS) have announced that it is running hugely short of funds to take care of 5,000 displaced families under its care.
An emergency appeal was launched in April seeking $3.4 million in cash, kind, or services to support the Sri Lanka Red Cross Society (SLRCS) as it assists approximately 5,000 families (25,000 people) for 24 months.
"With contributions received to date, including pledges in the pipeline, the appeal is about 40 per cent covered. Funds are urgently needed to enable SLRCS to provide much needed assistance to those displaced by years of conflict," a statement from its office said.
The government and humanitarian actors estimate that the total number of houses in need of rebuilding and reconstruction is around 260,000.

Jacob Damiany Lunyamila is a refugee from Rwanda who arrived in Canada — illegally and without documentation — in 1994, and was granted refugee status in 1996.
According to a recent Canadian federal court decision, during this time, Lunyamila has had "approximately 389 police encounters," which "resulted in 95 criminal charges and 54 convictions."
Canada has been trying to deport this thug back to his native Rwanda for years, but Lunyamila refuses to leave.
You see, the government of Rwanda requires him to sign a form before they will let him enter their country. And he simply refuses to sign it.
So, if we can't deport him, why not just lock him up?
Well, thanks to Canada's deeply flawed justice system, at least five judges in at least seven different decisions have ruled to set him free.
Last time he was released, Lunyamila attacked strangers in downtown Vancouver with an axe.
Sanity prevailed, as the Chief Justice of the Federal Court ruled to overturn these earlier decisions and keep him locked up.
It's nice to see a hint of common sense left in our justice system.
Unfortunately, the playing field is still stacked against the interests of Canadians, as I'll explain…

The national minimum wage (NMW) applies to nearly all workers and sets hourly rates below which pay must not be allowed to fall.
It is an important cornerstone of Government strategy aimed at providing employees with decent minimum standards and fairness in the workplace. The Government suggests that it helps business by ensuring companies compete on the basis of quality of the goods and services they provide and not on low prices based predominantly on low rates of pay.
The rates set are based on the recommendations of the independent Low Pay Commission. The rates change on 1st October each year.
New National Minimum Wage rates from 1 October 2015
- the adult rate will increase by 20 pence to £6.70 per hour
- the rate for 18 to 20 year olds will increase by 17 pence to £5.30 per hour
- the rate for 16 to 17 year olds will increase by 8 pence to £3.87 per hour
- the apprentice rate will increase by 57 pence to £3.30 per hour
- the accommodation offset increases from the current £5.08 to £5.35
For details of the current rates visit: https://www.gov.uk/national-minimum-wage-rates
New Apprentice Rate
A new apprentice rate of £2.73 per hour was introduced for pay reference periods starting on or after 1 October 2014. This applies to apprentices who are workers, and aged either under 19 or aged 19 and over, and in the first year of their apprenticeship. The rate will increase by 57 pence to £3.30 per hour.
Introduction of National Living Wage
A new National Living Wage (NLW) will be introduced from April 2016. This will start at £7.20 an hour with a rise to £9 an hour by 2020. The NLW will be compulsory for all working people aged 25 and over.
Please see the dates that we we will be closing over the Christmas / New Year period.

From April 2016, the Government's new National Living Wage (NLW) is now law and obligates employers to pay employees aged 25 and over at least £7.20 per hour.

While waiting for Curious George to come on this afternoon, we caught the tail end of the purple monster (Barney - the boys name for him, not mine. Usually Baba screams whenever Barney dares prance across his TV, thus the monster). The unbelievably obnoxious Barney brats had built a airplane out of boxes. Guess what we did this afternoon?
The boy wanted to fly with his sister to his McDonalds (the one with the truck in the play-place), but Zippy and I couldn't come because his plane was too little for all of us to fit. Rudy played along for a few minutes. She's a good sport.
He wouldn't stop begging for propellers, so they got added right before bedtime.
Now he needs a real engine - he doesn't want to pretend fly. If you give a mouse a cookie......

Over recent months a lot of criticism has been made about care homes for the elderly.
My brother and I however would like to reverse this trend and make your readers aware that within our region we have a wonderful care home, Waterloo House, Market Rasen.
Our mother, who recently passed away aged 102, spent the final three years of her life in this home and the care and compassion shown to her by every member of the staff for the whole period was remarkable.
We are sure that there must be other excellent care homes locally that need to be recognised.

Nonconformist observations and discussions about the music and vibes that connect our lives.
Wednesday, August 10, 2011
We can dig it
It's been three years since Isaac Hayes died after suffering a stroke in Memphis, Tennessee. He had been on a treadmill and was just 10 days short of his 65th birthday.
Now any day is a good day to celebrate the music and legacy of Hayes, as our buddy Bill "Psycho" Ward would attest. Bill delivers the best (well, most hilarious) white rendition of the "Theme From Shaft" we've ever heard. He's also a big fan of South Park, which used the voice of Hayes for its Chef character and uncorked the hilarious "Chocolate Salty Balls (P.S. I Love You)." Click on this link to hear the song, which topped the U.K. singles chart.
But it was the sheer badness of "Theme From Shaft" -- which won an Academy Award for Hayes in 1972 -- that made a lasting imprint on our brains. We went to a lyrics site to refresh our memories and discovered there have been 383 hits this week alone for "Theme From Shaft." Three-hundred and eighty three hits. It's barely Wednesday.
Can you dig it?

Almost lost in this jam-packed episode is the fantastic opener that features one of the series' most pivotal moments. Clark Kent's marriage proposal to Lois Lane was handled in the same fashion as much of their relationship throughout the season – without the melodramatic crap that Smallville was known for throughout its previous seasons. Clark had everything worked out in style with a beautiful showering of rose petals from the sky. The use of a phone booth was a nice touch and played into their "Blur" relationship well. Clark's confident proposal almost seemed to be coming from a more authoritative Superman than the second-guessing schoolboy I remember from seasons ago. Lois' answer was equally confident and appreciated. With the show's history, it's hard not to worry that they might have chosen to stretch out the answer for a few agonizing episodes.
The proposal was indicative of the bold new direction this show has taken over the past three seasons. And while it may have stumbled at times, it has continuously given us some of the best moments of the entire series. Clark's marriage proposal now sits near the top. Surprisingly, this isn't even the best moment of "Icarus" as Hawkman's fight with Slade is the peak of this episode.
Everything from Lois saying "Yes!" onwards proves to be an important test, not only for the Daily Planet's star reporter, but also for anyone else who interacts with superheroes on a regular basis. With the Vigilante Registration Act in full swing and superheroes now labeled as terrorists, the scant few supporters of costumed crime fighters are being round up and questioned by a Gestapo style military police force being run by General Slade Wilson. Slade now comes complete with an eye patch (Michael Hogan must love those) and some superhuman tricks paid for by the government.
Lois is really put through the ringer this week. She's thrown around, punched in the face and has a gun pointed at her with death moments away. Through this however, she perceivers, defiant to those who will keep her and Clark separate and vigilant, in her own way, to make sure the identities of superheroes remain protected.
There's a good flashback scene with Lois asking Chloe what had happened between Lana and Clark. It's an important moment that was apparently cut from an earlier episode but it's well placed in "Icarus" as Lois comes to terms with the fact that she has to share Clark with the rest of the world. From years of watching Superman in various mediums, we know that she will stand the test of time, but it's good to see Lois explore her doubts and still come out standing by Clark Kent. The fact that she stands with the heroes at Carter's funeral is testament to the fact that she sees herself as one of them.
In his few appearances, Michael Shanks has done a commendable job as Carter Hall. The Thangarian's (never referenced as such on the show) rough exterior proved to be equally matched by his warm heart and his strong spirit. It's unfortunate that Hawkman's last stand had to be against someone so trivial as Slade Wilson, but it was still an impressive fight sequence on the show's small budget. Also, it appeared they managed to get the wings right for once. Too bad it had to be for his final moments on screen. His fantastic entrance to save Lois was marred by some slightly poor CG but that did not take anything away from the impact of the moment.
However, everything from the explosion to Hawkman racing down, wings burning, to save a falling Lois Lane was impressive. A tremendous final act of one of my favorite Smallville heroes. His banter with Ollie will be missed.
Having everyone (sort of) show up, in costume, for Hawkman's funeral was a fitting way to send the hero out. It's too bad they couldn't get all the actors to reprise their roles, many remaining in the background with their faces hidden from the camera. It was good to see Alaina Huffman return with a much-improved look as Black Canary. The long blonde hair is a must for the character and I'm still perplexed as to why they ever though short hair was a good idea. Now if they'll only get rid of that silly looking makeup "mask."
Speaking of strange devices rising out of the sand – that ending was random. I'm going to assume that it has something to do with Darkseid's plans for world domination but it really could be anything. Will all the costumed heroes have to work together to fight this strange threat when we see them next? Find out in seven weeks!

Third place hunting...
Christian Anderson
The Third Place – it's a late 90s, done-to-death concept which still works for me – not home and not work – instead a relaxed and pleasant space to hang out in. I say done-to-death, but mean done-badly-to-death. Assembling the ingredients isn't difficult - newspapers, wifi, coffee and comfy chairs, but pulling it off is, and one of the few places round my way which does is Birmingham's Urban Coffee Company. Back in the day, my 3rd place in Birmingham used to be the Starbucks tucked away at the back of Borders bookshop. You had to walk past a LOT of books to get to it and, since books are to chavs what sunlight is to vampires, coffee here was a pleasure - all tall windows and views out over Selfridges' iconic curves. But, when Borders UK went into a terminal tailspin last year, it was back to Google for that age-old search - "coffee shop free wifi" and onto the Urban Coffee Company.
The location
A hundred metres North West of the cathedral on Church Street, it's definitely central Birmingham, but just far enough away from the New Street drag to mean that (on Saturdays anyway) people seek it out rather than just pass by, so you get a clientele which just seems a cut above - I've yet to see a truly annoying customer (self excepted, obvs).
The space
They've nailed this one. Double doors open into a loft-like space with painted girders, whitewashed brickwork and a floating mezzanine. Solid wooden tables and chairs alternate with leather seats and a handful of jumbo beanbags for the horizontally inclined. I wasn't sure about the recent off-kilter feng shui realignment of the big, sociable, 10-seater canteen table downstairs, until I realised the new layout put the wall sockets within reach. Quality newspapers, solid wifi and unobtrusive music complete the jigsaw nicely.
The bottom line - the coffee
I hate it. Which is both a complete lie and completely true. Even with my limited palate, the coffee is definitely a cut above. You have to wait for it (bet the business types love that midweek), but the baristas (called Urbanistas at UCC - the only dodgy note in the whole deal) put real pride into their work, and it shows, or should that be "tastes"? What I hate is how it's ruined other coffee shops for me. My vote for the best cinema in the East Midlands? The Broadway in Nottingham: class films, class venue, crap coffee. And the list goes on – a fortnightly fix of latte love at UCC has landed me with a frankly annoying benchmark of coffee quality.
Any downsides?
Snacks and cakes aren't cheap, so the powers that be need to rock some combo deals into the mix at some point please. But again, it is quality gear - a Saturday lunchtime-treat brownie (£2.05) looked a bit dry and far too rectangular for my liking, but turned out creamy-smooth in the middle and pleasantly under-sweet.
Watch this space
With themed events, lots of social media marketing, monthly book club, an iPhone app in the pipeline and seriously friendly staff, this is clearly a tightly focused business with chain ambitions. Will be interesting to see how they develop through the tail end of the current recession and if they can preserve their USP as they expand.
Some details
- £2.50 for a large latte, £2.10 for an Americano.
- Standard loyalty card - one free drink in every ten, with a mystery free gift if you complete 5 cards.
