NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Shares of oil companies closed higher Tuesday for the first time in two trading sessions, as fourth-quarter results from Transocean Sedco Forex impressed investors.
Transocean said Tuesday that it earned $33 million, or 16 cents a share during the fourth quarter, topping the 12-cent per share average estimate of analysts surveyed by First Call/Thomson Financial. See full story.
The Oil Service Index OSX, -0.79% rose 1.7 percent to 124.48, with shares of Transocean Sedco Forex RIG, -5.03% up $3.25, or 8 percent, to $44.25.
The CBOE Oil Index OIX, -3.40% ended higher, climbing 0.4 percent to 304.92. Shares of Exxon-Mobil XOM, -0.96% added $1.78 to $81.98.
The Amex Natural Gas Index XNG, -0.29% however, dropped 1.4 percent to 235.41. Shares of Apache Corp. APA, -2.63% fell $2.41 to close at $58.36.
Crude supplies drop nearly 6 million barrels
The American Petroleum Institute's reported decline in last week's crude supplies defied expectations and provided an after-hours boost to crude futures prices Tuesday.
A report from the American Petroleum Institute, released late Tuesday, reflected a 5.6 million-barrel decline in crude supplies, as of the week ended Jan. 26. Analysts surveyed by Bridge News expected a rise of 200,000 barrels to 500,000 barrels.
In after-hours trading, March crude added 28 cents to trade at $29.34 a barrel shortly after the data was released. February heating oil rose 0.52 cent to 80.55 cents a gallon and February unleaded gasoline fell 0.6 cent to 87.60 cents a gallon.
"The number on crude will be so shocking that it'll probably support heating oil and the unleaded (prices)," Phil Flynn, an analyst at Chicago brokerage house Alaron.com said.
He emphasized, however, that the data may see some disbelief from the market, so investors will likely wait for confirmation of the crude supply drop from the Energy Department's data early Wednesday.
If the crude data is confirmed, "that'll probably push crude back up toward $30 pretty quickly," he said.
Distillate inventories, which include heating oil used during the winter season, fell 425,000 barrels. The market had been looking for a much larger decline of 1.7 million to 2.1 million barrels.
Gasoline supplies climbed 6.6 million barrels last week, the API said, compared to expectations for a rise of only 500,000 barrels to 800,000 barrels.
Refinery production rates rose to 90.5 percent from the prior week's 90 percent of capacity, according to the API data.
Ahead of the news on the New York Mercantile Exchange, March crude dropped to a low at $28.68 a barrel, but closed unchanged at $29.06. February unleaded gasoline added 0.66 cent to 88.20 cents a gallon.
Among the heating fuels, March natural gas slipped 3.9 cents to $6.097 per million British thermal units. February heating oil fell 1.17 cents to 80.03 cents a gallon.
"The natural gas onslaught from yesterday seems to be moderating," Flynn said. Natural gas prices fell sharply Monday on forecasts for mild weather throughout most of the U.S.

James Dobson: Idiot
Dr. James Dobson, March 31, 2005:
Our founding fathers intended that this would be a government of the people, by the people, for the people. But now the final arbiter of every significant moral issue comes down to unelected, unaccountable judges to the judiciary.
William Levesque, St. Petersburg Times, September 1, 2004.
ST. PETERSBURG – Circuit Judge George Greer, whose rulings to remove Terri Schiavo's feeding tube made him a political target, appeared headed to an easy re-election victory Tuesday night.
The Pinellas-Pasco judge enjoyed nearly a 2-to-1 advantage over challenger Jan Govan, a Clearwater attorney in his first run for a judgeship.
And just in case you're wondering …
The Sixth Judicial Circuit is comprised of Pasco and Pinellas Counties and is located on the Central West Coast of Florida.
In the 2004 election, George Bush won 51% of the vote in the Sixth Circuit. In 2002, Jeb Bush won 56% of the vote.
But who elected James Dobson?

Individual Voter Registration September 2015
Thank you for contacting me recently concerning the full implementation of Individual Electoral Registration (IER).
I Chaired the Political and Constitutional Reform Select Committee for the last five years and made participation one of our main priorities. You can view the committee's reports here:
I appreciate the Hope Not Hate campaign effort to ensure that every eligible citizen has a chance to participate in the democratic process and is not simply left out because of an administrative issue. I am deeply concerned that according to the Hope Not Hate report over 12,000 people in Nottingham would drop off the register at the end of this year.
I welcomed the launch of online voter registration as I believe this encouraged more people to sign up to vote. When I was the chair of the Political and Constitutional Reform Committee we looked at IER into great detail. Under-registration remains a huge problem in our country – especially amongst younger people. Around half of those aged between 18 and 24 are not registered to vote, compared to just six per cent of those above the age of 65.
I am a great supporter of campaigning groups such as Bite the Ballot, which runs National Voter Registration Day which this year saw more than 150,000 people registered during a single day.
The Government originally planned to make transitional arrangements for voters to remain on the electoral register until December 2016, even if they were not either confirmed onto the new register via data matching or registered individually, but brought it forward to December 2015. I am alarmed that the Government's decision to rush the introduction of Individual Electoral Registration is very likely to reduce levels of registration further and thus deepen the democratic deficit. The Government's own figures show that more than eight million voters risk falling off the register.
The Government must give local councils more time and adequate resources otherwise our democracy could be damaged. Unlike David Cameron, Labour is not prepared to take the same risks.
As you may be aware, at the 2015 General Election, I stood on a manifesto that included a commitment to ensure that the move to individual electoral registration does not leave millions unregistered, nor lead to constituencies that fail to take into account the people who live in them.
It also included a commitment to block registration by universities and care homes, extending Northern Ireland's successful 'Schools Initiative', and exploring the scope for an automatic system of registration. I believe that those are important steps which would help to increase the number of people registered.
Thank you once again for writing to me and for sharing your views. I will continue to demand that the Government allow longer transitional period and thus ensure that as many people as possible are registered.

Well, it's official. If this monster is threatened by it, the Tea Party can't be all bad:
Speaking to a group of students visiting Havana, former Cuban leader Fidel Castro accused the Tea Party of leading the United States towards "fascism."
In his comments, Castro chided the United States as a "ruined nation" and derided the Tea Party as "extreme right."
I mean just recently Castro was apologizing for sending gay people to labor camps, but I think we know the real threat in the Western Hemisphere is people who oppose fine state run health care systems like the one they have in Cuba where patients have to "arrive with their own syringes, towels and bed sheets." I hope Oliver Stone drops everything and hops the first plane to Havana so we can find out more about Castro's thoughts about the American political scene. Clearly, this man has his finger on the pulse!

The public University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh hosted a "non-partisan" get-out-the-vote rally featuring Chelsea Clinton on Wednesday afternoon.
The event, which students registered for on Hillary Clinton's campaign website, was advertised by school administrators as a non-partisan effort to encourage students to vote.
A Facebook post from Oshkosh's Student Association about the event claims that Chelsea Clinton's appearance should not be viewed as an endorsement of any particular candidate. The post linked directly to Hillary Clinton's campaign website, where students and faculty could sign up to attend the rally.
OSA is excited to announce that your student government will be hosting A Get Out The Vote event tomorrow November 2nd, at 4:15pm in Reeve 227AB the guest speaker will be Chelsea Clinton. Doors will open at 3:15 and it is a first come first serve event. Backpacks will not be allowed in, please leave them by the lockers in Reeve.
Disclaimer: OSA is non partisan the hosting of this event is to encourage political engagement and should not be seen as an endorsement. No student funding was used to host this event. OSA did not and does not seek out guests for these events. If any campaigns would like to send a guest to UWO, they will need to reach out.
After Oshkosh community members voiced their concerns about the event's transparently partisan nature, Austyn K. Booth, the president of the Oshkosh Student Association, released a statement on Thursday in an attempt to convince community members that Clinton's visit to campus was nothing more than a non-partisan effort to encourage students to vote:
UW Oshkosh Students-
On November 2nd, the Hillary Clinton campaign made a stop at UW Oshkosh where we had the opportunity to join in an event with Chelsea Clinton. Clinton was here on behalf of her mother's campaign and spent almost an hour with students and Oshkosh community members.
When the campaign staff contacted UW Oshkosh, the Oshkosh Student Association (OSA) offered to welcome and host the campaign staff and supporters, as we would for any campaign making a stop on our campus.
I understand this caused confusion, as it appeared that OSA arranged and sponsored this event. OSA is a non-partisan organization serving the entire student body and did not invite the campaign here nor did we provide financial support for the event. We did openly welcome the opportunity to host Chelsea Clinton and were excited to provide this experience to the campus community. Hosting this event was not an endorsement of a political candidate but rather a chance for UW Oshkosh students to engage with the Presidential race. We would happily welcome other candidates that request to use our campus facilities as well.
I am sorry for the confusion this caused.

The other day I didn't have time to tell you about my buys in the charity shop on Thursday. This week I got Nigellas Christmas book for £2.00. Now I have wanted this book for years and I have borrowed it from the library in the past and even added it to my Christmas list for this year. Can take it off my Christmas list now and add another book instead.
Off to chill out in a warm cosy living room with a glass of red on this chilly autumn evening. Have a lovely weekend x

According to the manual, it recommends buying a bag for the computer. Unfortunately, Asus don't supply a bag big enough for this laptop. My previous Asus laptop (FS3A) was sold with a bag, but they didn't mention it in the sales information, so I purchased one in anticipation – result: two bags. Make your mind up Asus!! I have done extensive searches on the Internet and cannot find a bag big enough to fit. The largest I've seen is 20 inches, so too small. If anyone can find a 21 inch bag in the UK please let me know.
To solve the problem I've had to purchase a piece of luggage from Argos as nothing else is big enough. Whilst not ideal, it offers some modicum of protection until a more suitable one becomes available. I've got two pieces of sponge which will act as a buffer for the NX90, but the accessories etc will have to stay in the top if the lid section. the down side of that is that they will rattle around a lot as the bag itself is ABS.

Catholic Writers to Hold Conference in Arlington, Texas
Contact: Ann Margaret Lewis, President, Catholic Writers Guild, 317-755-2693
ARLINGTON, Texas, June 11, 2012 /
Christian Newswire
/ -- The fourth annual Catholic Writers' Conference LIVE will take place August 29-31, 2012, at the Arlington Convention Center in Arlington, TX. Sponsored by the Catholic Writer's Guild and the Catholic Marketing Network (CMN), and held in conjunction with CMN's annual retailer trade show, the Catholic Writers Conference LIVE provides Catholic authors with a prime opportunity to meet and share their faith with editors, publishers, fellow writers, and bookstore owners from across the globe.
The conference will offer "pitch sessions," allowing authors an opportunity to meet personally with publishing professionals and pitch their writing projects. In addition, attendees have the opportunity to sign up for critique with professional editors and writers. Some participating publishers are Ignatius Press, Ave Maria Press, Christus Publishing, Tuscany Press, Ascension Press and Servant Books. Information for this event can be found on the conference web site.
This year's conference will focus on "Writing and the New Evangelization." Speakers include EWTN personalities Teresa Tomeo and Father Andrew Apostoli, CFR, authors Ellen Hrkach (In NAME ONLY) and Patti Armstrong (STORIES FOR THE HOMESCHOOL HEART), Ann Margaret Lewis (MURDER IN THE VATICAN: THE CHURCH MYSTERIES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES), and author and blogger Sarah Reinhard (A CATHOLIC MOTHER'S COMPANION TO PREGNANCY: WALKING WITH MARY FROM CONCEPTION TO BAPTISM). More excellent speakers are still being confirmed.
In partnership with the Catholic New Media Conference, also taking place in the convention center, conference attendees will be able to attend a special track on blogging for $25. Information on this opportunity will be made to attendees upon registration.
"It's not just writing, it's not just fellowship, it's inspiration, too!" says 2011 Conference presenter Sarah Reinhard. "It was great to share the Eucharist and evening meals in person with writers who inspire me, encourage me, and motivate me the rest of the year."
The Catholic Writers Guild, a religious non-profit organization affiliated with the Archdiocese of Indianapolis sponsors both this live conference in August and an online conference in February to further its mission of promoting Catholic literature. Says CWG President Ann Lewis, "These events are integral to our mission of 'creating a rebirth of Catholic arts and letters."

NEW ORLEANS (AP) � The tropical storm plowing across the far side of the Gulf of Mexico could send oil skimmers back to port and make containment booms useless, even from some 500 miles away. But the rough weather also might give nature a hand in breaking down crude from the massive oil spill.
Forecasters expect Alex to grow to hurricane strength later today over the southwestern Gulf on track for the Texas-Mexico border region and away from the oil spill area off Louisiana. But it will blow waves and stormy winds all the way to the open Gulf, where BP PLC is working to cap and contain the oil, and the coastal waters tinged with crude.
The effects might be mixed.
Waves churned up by Alex � as high as 12 feet � could help break up the patches of oil scattered across the sea. The higher-than-normal winds that radiate far from the storm also could help the crude evaporate faster.
�The oil isn�t in one solid sheet. It�s all broken up into patches anyway. It will actually work to break those patches down,� said Piers Chapman, chairman of the oceanography department at Texas A&M University.
But skimming vessels might be idled because they can�t operate in such swells. Floating oil-containment booms could be rendered useless by waves slopping over them and might have to be pulled out of the water.
Pulling boats and crews off the water could cost precious time, said Nancy Kinner, co-director of the Coastal Response Research Center at the University of New Hampshire. Equipment has to be stripped down, packed and protected from the force of the storm, and then it has to be reassembled and deployed again, she said.
But Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the federal government�s point man for the spill response, said the storm wasn�t expected to affect two relief wells being drilled, considered the best hope of plugging the leak.
Even 12-foot waves aren�t enough to stop the tanker that is sucking up large quantities of oil through the cap on the well, or a second vessel that is burning off hundreds of thousands of gallons at the surface, Allen said.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal also said yesterday that the weather could push the oil farther into the delicate Barataria Bay, home to a diverse group of wildlife.
Other officials echoed that worry. Rough seas already have forced barges to leave their posts as a barrier against the oil near the bay.
�We�ve already lost over 68 days of decent weather, and this is going to be an active hurricane season,� Jefferson Parish Council Chairman John Young said yesterday. �They�re going to start coming, yet there continues to be a lack of a sense of urgency.�
For now, Alex is on track to make landfall with hurricane-force winds near the U.S.-Mexico border, possibly by Thursday. �We are watching very, very closely,� Allen said. �As it stands right now, absent the intervention of a hurricane, we�re still looking at mid-August� for completing the relief well.

Holidaymakers are being advised to opt for a driving holiday in Ireland with the AA claiming it is easy for motorists to get around. A spokesperson for the Irish branch of the firm says that motorists in Ireland also drive on the left and that road signs are similar.Thomas Brosnan added that the west of Ireland has "spectacular scenery" for driving holidays. The "geographical proximity" of the two islands also makes it easy for Brits to take short trips, and even bring their own car, he added. Figures show that in 2006, 4.97 million Britons visited Ireland, spending a total of 1,722 million euros.The majority (63 per cent) of these decided to stay in Dublin, while 36 per cent visited the west.Speaking about holidays in Ireland, Mr Brosnan said: "English tourists have been coming here for years and years."It's a fact that we drive on the same side of the road, road signs are similar and so forth. It's rarely the case that things would be new to English tourists."

Being longtime seamstresses, the team here at SEW Moni has had plenty of chances to thoroughly test some products and have compiled a list of tried and true tools that every seamstress should have in her possession.
A good, sharp pair of Fiskars are a must! The brand has been around for ages, since 1694 to be exact. Their products are readily available and have great longevity. Not in the mood to buy another pair, make your well-used scissors like new and have them sharpened for a fraction of the cost. No wonder they are the world's #1 scissor brand.

Magnetic Pin Cushion
My mother introduced me to this wonderful invention, and I haven't used my tomato cushion since. Not only helpful for keeping your pins organized and at your finger tips, it's perfect for post project clean-ups. Just a slow sweep across your table, and it picks up any loose pins scattered about.
Grabbit is our brand of choice.
Pick one up at Joann Fabrics. Sil Thread in the NYC garment district is a great source too.

I lovingly call this the "sewing eraser" and it's is a must for pulling out those little mistakes that seem to show up as we are sewing. They are quite useful for creating machine stitched button holes too! Seam rippers come in a variety of sizes and shapes. I find that the one's with the longer handles are easier to control.

This mesmerising harmony of pastel colours and peerless audio is without doubt one of the 360's most significant RPGs, and it is essential for fans of the genre. It suffers from repetition with regard to battles, but it is still worth every beat of your heart that passes as you play.
The soundtrack of course is based on the work of the maestro Chopin himself, meaning it is as rich and elaborate as the game world. Some might see taking the compositions of an internationally respected musician as a little on the lazy side, but the game world is the perfect companion. There is also plenty of original score in place, and the way it ties into both the plot and the rhythm of the game is near unrivalled in any game.

I married Terry & Simone , on the headland at the Ocean Reef Sea & Sports Club on a sunny Easter Saturday 2011.
How did their love story between this very laid back and fun couple begin. I can tell you that Mr & Mrs Independence AKA, Terry and Simone, both looking for a sea change and perhaps some adventure had both made their way to the middle of Australia to work, from different states of Australia, Terry, masquerading as a tour guide and Simone, a Supervisor at the local supermarket. This is where they interestingly met, as neighbours in the Yulara Resort.
Simone would say, that even though he comes over as the quintessential Aussie bloke, it was his shyness that appealed to her, or perhaps the challenge, his sense of fun, and his generosity of spirit. He had a terrific dry down to earth sense of humour and strength of will, all at the same time. Simone will never, ever, die wondering, as many of you may know, he is nothing but forthright. Simone liked that he had his passions in life, one of those being the St Kilda Football Club, however misguided he may have been. Most of all, Terry has become her rock. He gives her strength, hope and encourages her sense of adventure, which sometimes gets her into trouble, too………which she likes, at least, most of the time.
Terry was first drawn to Simone's smile and cheeky way she goes through life. From the moment they met she was open and friendly and he was quite taken with this girl, even though he was not necessarily looking for love . No namby-pamby girl for him, he says! He loves that they enjoy many of the same things in life, like relaxing with a cold drink on a hot summer's day, camping, and a relaxed laid back lifestyle. Since then, she was able to talk him into coming back to the West with her where she provides a warm and loving home for him, where he can be himself and he feels fortunate that he has found such a devoted "mate".

Author: Attorney Christopher A. Meyer
Most people know that their motor vehicle insurance policy covers them for accidents due to their fault when they are driving the car on the policy. Many of us also sometimes drive someone else's car. Do you know whether, when you are operating someone else's vehicle, you are covered by either the insurance on that car or by your own insurance at home on your car – or both?
Under Virginia law the answer is almost always both, provided that the driver has the permission of the owner. If I own a car, I will of course be covered by my insurance when I am operating it. But if I lend the car to another person, they will be also be covered because the insurance policy covers "any person?using?said automobile?with the express or implied permission of the named insured and within the scope of such permission." And they will be covered by their own insurance, too, on top of mine.
The limitation that the use of the vehicle must be "within the scope of such permission" simply means that if I loan my car to a friend to go to the store and get me a six pack of Diet Pepsi, and instead the friend decides to go on a jaunt to Florida for Spring Break without telling me or asking my permission, then the friend will not by covered by my automobile insurance policy on that trip as he has exceeded the scope of the permission I gave him.
My friend's own insurance policy will not cover him either in that circumstance. When driving a vehicle that is "non-owned" as my car would be to my friend, my friend is covered by his own policy only "? while using such automobile, provided his actual operation?is with the express or implied permission or reasonably believed to be with the permission, of the owner and is within the scope of such permission." When my friend, who has been given permission to go to the store and get me some diet drinks, instead heads for Florida then he has exceeded the scope of the permission I gave him and will not be covered by his own policy either.
What if I loan my car to a friend and the friend then loans the car to a third person? Does my policy cover my friend's friend (the third person)? Does the third person's own policy also cover him driving my vehicle? In short, does the friend have the right to give permission to drive a car he doesn't own but has borrowed? In Virginia the answer is generally yes. For many years, Virginia law said that a person who borrowed a car could not give greater permission than he had. So if I lent my car to a friend but told the friend that he could not lend it to anyone else, then if he did lend then the third person was not covered even though the third person didn't know I had given my friend only limited permission to use the car. However, a few years ago Virginia law was changed to state that if the third person reasonably thought he had permission of the owner, then he was covered even if the person who lent it to him had been forbidden to lend it to anyone else by the owner. In other words, for purposes of being covered by the owner's policy – and his own policy, the driver can rely for permission on the word of the custodian of the car. For example, if a person owns a car and lets his son use it at college, and the son lets a roommate borrow the car, does the roommate's own automobile policy cover him? The answer is yes.
However, Virginia law on insurance coverage is very complicated and individual fact situations can change the answer to coverage questions. The best advice is to make sure that you have the permission of the owner of an automobile before operating it. That way you will be sure you are covered both under the owner's policy and your own. If you have any doubts about insurance coverage, consult an attorney. At Allen and Allen, we have many attorneys who are very knowledgeable about insurance law. One of our attorneys, W. Coleman Allen, Jr., has literally written a book on Virginia automobile insurance coverage, and many of our attorneys lecture regularly on insurance topics.

Forever one of the most popular sports franchises on Earth whether they're winning games or not, the New York Yankees have had no shortage of sneakers that take inspiration from the team's color palette.
There's no pinstripes on this upcoming edition of the Nike Air Max 95, but the similarities to the Bronx Bombers' team colors is unmistakable. The classic Air Max model receives tones of white, grey, navy blue across the upper, making for the perfect pair of sneakers to rock to a Yankees game this summer. If you think this colorway is a home run, be on the lookout for them soon at select Nike Sportswear retailers and Nike.com.


text: exams are over. But are they really? When you first enrol for school, you set out for a set of standardised testing, comparative grading and attainment sets. To what gain? You are constantly under the pressure and stress to achieve what is disguised as "the best you can do" but is really how well you will do compared to everyone else. After unrelenting group of exams start and finish again and again, all to prepare you for the roller coaster that we call adult life, you realise the testing will never be over. After GCSEs there will still be A levels. And when your A levels are over, job interviews will be patiently waiting, another opportunity for you to be compared and dissected beside other people until, oh time for the bank to decide whether your suitable enough for them to validate a loan so you can afford to buy your house. That's if you were able to jump through the necessary hoops to find your soul mate and bring up the perfect family of course. Life is a huge test – exams will never be over.

These days, privacy is a rare thing. Between mobile connectivity and social media, we literally share a majority of our important and day-to-day whereabouts and life moments. And while this keeps us in the loop of our friends and family, this same information could be catastrophic in the wrong hands. With that said, it's crucial to practice social media safety. The best way to prevent anything from identity theft, credit card theft, home break-ins, etc. is by exercising the following:
Caution of Sharing Specific Information
A recent report by CNN Money revealed that identity fraud occurs every TWO seconds. So consider this fact: the more you share online, the easier it is for someone to target you. Whether it's on Facebook or another social media platform, try not to reveal certain facts like your: complete birth date (if you do, try to exclude the year), address (you don't want just anyone to know where you live), email address (hackers are everywhere), and telephone number.
Go into your privacy setting and make sure none of these are listed. You can also go ahead and set up specific parameters of what is and isn't shared with the general public. For instance, on Facebook, you can set many of your pictures and posts to be shared with just friends, while still letting others still find you online. In four words: you simply never know. Keep your info protected!
Using Good Judgment When Using Location-Based Services
Features like Facebook's check-in not only reveal that you aren't home, but also let virtually anyone where you currently are. Hopefully you don't have a stalker or know someone with an extreme grudge against you. So many unpredictable and even violent things have happened in recent years, that taking this kind of gamble just isn't worth it. Sure you might be having dinner at a popular hotspot, or are even travelling at a great destination abroad…but just really examine the possibilities of what your reveal with location-based services. Location-based services could result in possible burglaries, stalking, sexual assault and violent crimes. It's not worth it to get a couple of 'likes'.
Posting Only Select Pictures
We all love sharing photos—especially while we are travelling or are experiencing something truly special. Let's pretend that you are actually travelling and you take a picture by the Eiffel Tower. Now everyone can see your whereabouts on networks like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. If you haven't adjusted your privacy settings, your friends and complete strangers can see these updates. What's the problem with this? For starters, they know your home is currently vacant. The FBI reports that a burglary happens nearly every 14 seconds somewhere in the U.S. It's unsettling and worrisome. Over-sharing could increase these odds.
Just remember not to throw caution to the wind. Be careful of what you share online. Want to really protect your home? ADT home monitoring provides 24/7 monitoring. And with ADT Pulse, you the ability to remotely monitor and manage your home from anywhere.

flickr and photo sharing
As Rod pointed out on his blog and as I discovered when setting up a account for a friend.
Flickr is now owned by Yahoo, so you need a Yahoo account before you can setup a flickr account. I think this bites. But I am unsure why? Yes yahoo are big. Yes they are probably evil. But what do you lose? or they gain by you having a yahoo account?
I know I'm late jumping on the bandwagon, but I used Textamerica for my photo blog (www.southisland.textamerica.com) I found that service great J

Posts tagged with conspiracy theories
8 February 2011 - What is collapse? Conspiracy or a very real phenomenon?
The concept of collapse of our civilisation is often heard among conspiracy theorists, causing many mainstreamers out there to ignore the concept altogether. But should they? Is it really a word that should be owned by the conspiracy theorists and disregarded accordingly?
We believe we should not disregard it, but, rather than viewing 'collapse' through the lens of conspiracy theories, we could understand it in a historical and ecological sense. This then allows us to be realistic about future scenarios.
Have you heard of the global collapse of fish species? If not, you need to watch The End of the Line (see our previous post to watch it easily). You will discover that Atlantic cod stocks were severely overfished in the 1970s and 80s, leading to their abrupt collapse in 1992. In Newfoundland, Canada, the devastating collapse of cod has impoverished entire communities, and the cod stocks have never recovered. … Read the rest
1 December 2010 - Is WikiLeaks the product of a global conspiracy instigated by the CIA?
Yep, I know the title is really catchy – sorry!- but many believe that WikiLeaks is indeed the product of a global conspiracy instigated by the CIA. I personally don't share that view. Having said that, I nevertheless believe that studying the arguments of such proponents is rather interesting (as do a number of sociologists and psychologists), so let's together make sense of them.
Let me first put the post into its wider context. As you know, the online whistleblower facilitating website WikiLeaks has released a number of documents – apparently only 200 out of 251 287 – that originate from the US State Department. I'm sure you've gone through (some of) these and are aware that they tackle a range of subjects including US diplomats' views on Iran, North Korea, Russia, France, but also about the United Nations, the Hezbollah, the personality of several world leaders, etc. They offer … Read the rest

Hagerstown Regional Airport Director Carolyn Motz is pleased that a bill to subsidize commuter flights has passed the House of Delegates, but said it's not yet known when there will be flights between here and Baltimore-Washington International Airport.
The legislation, filed by House Speaker Casper Taylor and passed by the House Saturday, requires passage in the state senate.
"I am very delighted. I want it to work out. I am hoping to be in on the details of the issue as time goes on," Motz said Monday.
Details remain to be worked out, said Bruce Mundie, director of regional aviation assistance for the Maryland Aviation Administration.
"There is no prediction right now for how long it is going to take," he said.
Motz said the state would have to put out a request for airlines to bid on providing service to BWI from airports in Hagerstown, Cumberland and St. Mary's County.

Ace Drummond [Serial] (1936)
Directed by Ford I. Beebe / Cliff SmithGenres - Action, Spy Film | Sub-Genres - Glamorized Spy Film, Romantic Mystery | Countries - USA |
Share on
Synopsis by Hans J. Wollstein
Ostensibly based on the life of World War I flying ace Eddie Rickenbacker, whose smiling visage opened each of the 13 chapters, this fanciful serial depicted the travails of a globe trotting airline company. It seems that a villain known only as The Dragon (Arthur Loft) is determined to sabotage the company, who in desperation hires daredevil pilot Ace Drummond (John King) to investigate. By the time of the serial's 13th and final chapter -- "The World Akin" -- Drummond has not only managed to destroy The Dragon but also reunited lovely Peggy Trainor (Jean Rogers) with her long lost father (Montagu Shaw) and discovered a hidden mountain containing a fortune in jade. A former band singer with Ben Bernie, the rather bland John King later became "Dusty" King and enjoyed a minor career in B-Westerns. A legendary serial queen, blonde Jean Rogers gained her lasting reputation that same year when Universal cast her as Dale Arden in Flash Gordon. An edited feature version of Ace Drummond was released later in 1936 as Squadron of Doom.

text: Drawing upon a submission to The Leadership Trust® LinkedIn Group from Michelle Poche Flaherty (Founder & President, City on a Hill Consulting, Inc.), I find fascinating this recent HBR article by Zenger and Folkman on "Are You Sure You're Not a Bad Boss?". Sometimes when I present to audiences interested in leadership topics, I ask them if they've ever known a leader who ____________. Regardless of the negative behavior I throw out there, the hands are certain to shoot up, but when I ask if anyone out there might do this stuff, there is inevitably some nervous laughter. It's so easy to see in others what we may miss in ourselves. I'm collecting observations from your own experiences regarding damaging SUBTLE behaviors.

Episode: "Marge Be Not Proud"
Original Air Date: Dec. 17, 1995
Also Appears In: N/A
Genre: Fighting
Complex Says: The game that seduced Bart into shoplifting (with the help of an imagined Mario, Donkey Kong, Sonic, and almost-but-not-quite-in-order-to-avoid-a-lawsuit Lee Trevino). We kinda love that the game's marketing campaign is built on shitting all over Bart's other favorite game, Touch of Death—but sometimes that's what gaming beef is all about.

Supposing all you say is so, so what? We are still beset by unwholesome weather, and eat muck. And now we have been told by our noble leader that social security leads to infanticide. Sethren, our noble leader may have the mouth parts of a six foot tapeworm, but he also has a first class degree from Oxford. PPE, admittedly. I have no more idea than you what cutting-edge intellectual content resides in a degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from Oxford. Nugatory, one would imagine. But enough to rule. And the tyro tapeworm clearly had enough brain to master it splendidly. A first class degree.
Sethren, the mouthings of the great leader may evince stupidity, but they are designer mouthings, crafted by years, centuries of evolution to embody a gargantuan gormlessness. Not his. Ours. Our stupidity, sethren. The stupidity inheres not in the crafting of these obvious, children's picture book, fatuous lies. The gargantuan stupidity is in us, who are the butt of this ludicrous mendacity. And yet we believe in it utterly, and remouth it and remouth it continually, as if we ourselves were not as withered grey-green carcasses on the Huddersfield ringroad, but plump pink tapeworms whose every comfort is eternally assured.
Surely, sethren, our so thoroughgoing stupidity needs some explanation. The last person to try to explain it was Karl Marx; false consciousness, opium of the masses; spot on, old Karl. But a century and a half ago. The Communist Manifesto was published nine years before The Origin of Species. Nobody has attempted to explain our moronic collective credulity since then.
I will.
But first the building blocks.
An act. A kinetic four dimensional amplification of a sequence of alliances of demons.
In the human world, maybe in the Hominin world (and I read on my phone yesterday, sethren, that Sahelpithecus is likely to represent the divergence between Homo and Chimp, seven million years ago or thereabouts), in the human world, an act is seldom isolated from a thing. "Manus amimam pinxit, my pen is in my hand" as the old fascist put it. There is not much that we do with our bare hands. Throttle people, make bread and love. But by and large a human act is an obligate symbiont with at least one thing. It is the nexus of doing and done to — obligate symbiont, Sether Albert? Have I not mentioned it before? Oh. No I fucking haven't, then. Two different kinds of organism living in a cooperative relationship upon which both are completely dependent; trees and root fungi, mammals and their gut bacteria; human beings and politicians.
Think of sewing, sethren. Sewing without needle, thread and two bits of material to be joined, is not sewing. But a needle and thread and so on cannot be sewing without kinesis, fingers, musculature, neural substrate. Most human acts can only exist in the context of things. And most things can only evolve in the context of acts. The old joke goes, when a simple lad had finally been taught to add two apples to two apples and get four apples, he asked, "does it work with pears too?" Does the concept of obligate symbiosis work with acts other than sewing? Pears, sethren, pears.
At the level of demons, there is no distinction to be made between an act and a thing. An act is a thing. Sewing, like a needle, is a demon. Sure, as with a needle, other demons consort with the demon sewing, many more than the minimal ones we associated with a needle. We could anatomise the demon sewing into quite a lot, or if you prefer, a whole bunch of demons. But if you are running your eye over the contents of a design technology course to see if it is suitable for one, oh ye paupers, of your profligate quantity of offspring (whom, because you may rely on social security, you are quite likely to go home and slaughter) and in the midst of a list of course components, joinery, web design, you note for the fraction of a second your eye overflies it embroidery before the epicentre of vision moves on to automobile aesthetics; then embroidery occurred as a demon; not totally unexamined, because there will be a locus in the neural substrate which awakes and leaps to life screaming me, me, and would be only too delighted to call up other demons into the workspace, needles, coloured thread, the Bayeux tapestry, whatever the fuck you like as long as you are going to take notice; but not a chance. The automobile aesthetics demon is already having its microsecond flicker.
So, at the demon level, things and acts are not differentiated. But, you will say, we humans can distinguish between a thing and an act.
Sethren, we can distinguish between a trillion things and another trillion things, had we but world enough and time. We have no difficulty telling the difference between angels and fairies, between cricket and baseball, between a virus and a bacterium or a gigue and a saraband. But we do it at another level. We shall come to concepts in time, sethren, but you will not be amazed to know that concepts, like everything in the metaverse, are also alliances of demons.
For it is only at the demon level that evolution can take place.
But, you may say, the ancestral organism became the hippo and the whale. Surely it is at the level of species that things change?
That is what we see, because we cannot see genes. Darwin didn't even know they existed. But it was genes, sethren (and epigenetics, of course). Evolution takes place at the level of the cell, and it is only the sum of cells that is the organism that represents the, to us, apprehensible species.
And you will say, but culture doesn't have to be like biological life. Just because evolution takes place at the level of genes, not the level of the hippo and the whale, there is no reason why culture should follow suit.
Agreed absolutely, sethren. Give me another explanation that will lead to an account of why we believe the simple lies of our Great Leader, an explanation that does not rest on metaphor and religious platitude, and I will go along with you. Until then, the evolution of culture takes place at the level of demons.
The question still lies open, can there be a non-kinetic act? Clearly. Acts can take place in an ideoverse unexpressed by any kinesis. You cannot look into the face of the beloved and know of whom they dream. The raven surveyed the meat, the string, its perch for several minutes before it acted. The high jumper clears the bar before she starts her run-up. This, sethren, is why I call it an act, not an action. All that we do happens in the theatre of the skull.
Sethren, tomorrow, sabbatical. I go to the monastery of Skellig Michael to watch and pray for a week. You must wander the streets of Huddersfield alone. Watch the behaviour of your fellows, and ponder my words. Dwell on our stupidity in especial. When I return, and if, in like case to the Earl of Groan, I am not consumed by puffins, then concepts.

Filed under: Deviant Dreams,Fleshbot,Mindfuck
WARNING: the following is a Deviant Dreams post, read at your own risk. You can read part 1 here: Death (a snippet) and part 2 here: Death Part 2.
"Like what you see pet?" I ask with my eyes still closed.
"Yes, Grace," he replied quietly.
"Should I just lay here and nap while you watch or should we do something?" I asked with my eyes still closed.
There was silence. He was thinking about what the correct answer should be versus the answer he wanted to say. He chose his words wisely.
"You should nap Grace if you are tired," he replied.
I knew he was hesitant about his response. I knew that's not what he really wanted to say. He wanted attention. He wanted to be rewarded for being such a good pet while she was away and left him very neglected.
"Come here." I whispered. "I want to tell you something in your ear. And if you touch any part of my body on your way up you will wish you were back in the closet and forgotten."
"Yes, Grace," he said.
I felt the bed shift with his weight as he carefully crawled on all fours up to my face. He was there on my right hand side and I felt his head close to my face and I opened my eyes to see the side of his face in my view.
"You poor thing," I whispered softly, seductively and sweetly into his ear. "I am just horrible for leaving you in there like that. I should have at least paid for a sitter to come by and yet I failed to do so. Can you forgive me?"
He shook his head up and down. I brushed the outer part of his ear with the tip of my tongue and his whole body shuddered. My right hand moved and held his face and I could feel the goose bumps residing.
"What can I do. To make this right with you?" I asked slowly.
"Uh..", was all he could push out as my nails slowly dug into his cheek and then my hand moved to his throat. In one physical act I sat up while moving my hand to his throat and pushing him on his back against the bed. I was towering over his face on all fours and resting my weight on to the right hand around his throat. I looked straight into his eyes and looked deep. There was a sense of fear and yet there was also the look of arousal from him. We had played this scene many times and he trusted me even when I would push a little too far. We pushed the boundaries but there were still boundaries. We wanted to live to fuck another day.
His eyes started to well and water. The color of his face was deepening red and I continued to stare him straight in the eyes and determining my next move. I let my right hand up to let him catch his breath.
My head neared his right ear again and I whispered, "Miss me?"
"Y-yes, Grace," he sputtered trying to get a regular breathing pattern again.
I glanced down at his cock and it was still hard, very hard. He was enjoying the attention he was getting. He was not in any shape to walk away just yet.
"Did you behave while I was away or did you slut around looking for handouts?" I hissed in his ear.
"No Grace!" he answered sharply with a trickle of fear.
"I know how you get, I know how you want, no need attention," I spat out.
"I-I was good Grace, I swear," he said with conviction.
"Hm." I pondered out loud. "Does that mean you should be rewarded for your efforts pet?"
"Th-that is up you, Grace," He answered quietly.
"Aren't you just spewing out the right answers tonight," I exclaimed.
My body shifted and I moved to straddle around his knees with my hands resting on his chest. My face hovered over his cock. I could see his pre-cum puddle at the tip and near spilling over the edge.
"Don't you dare look at me. You keep your eyes on the ceiling." I demanded talking right at his cock.
"Yes…Grace," he said breathlessly. He was near an orgasm.
"Don't you fucking come without my permission. Do you understand?" I said through gritted teeth.
"Y-yes…Grace," he breathed out slowly to control his whole body.

A reader named Andrew asked a question about Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga that seemed unusual and interesting:
In M&L: Superstar Saga in the cafe in beanbean castle town, if you talk to the guy and say no, he says, "Oh! I'm so sad!!!"
That line has always seemed strange to me, is that a lazy translation? Can you investigate? Thanks.
So with a little searching around, I was able to get screenshots of the scene in both versions of the game:
|Japanese release
|English release
Basically, if you talk to this cafe owner and decide that you don't want to talk to him, he'll say he's sad. Except it sounds uncharacteristic of this guy in English. So what's the deal?
|Japanese Version (basic localization)
|English Version
|Dude! That makes me sad!
|Oh! I'm so sad!!
In Japanese this guy basically says something like, "I'm sad!" or "I'm lonely!" in a really masculine way. His speech style isn't quite as intense in the English localization though, and this line is an example of that. So that might be why this stands out a bit for some people – it doesn't have that same "feel" of the original line. It's entirely possible the localizers were going for a different type of attitude or character with this guy, but it's been so long since I played the game that I can't really remember much about him.
Anyway, hopefully that answers the question! And, man, this reminds me that one day I gotta take a look at Fawful's amazing dialogue!

Travels with Nico Secunda
Travels with Nico Secunda
Every year, Nico travels to the island of Crete, Greece, where his father teaches seminars. In this piece, Nico describes his journey from the Heraklion airport to the southern side of the island.
Looking Forward to the Past
My journey back to Crete, Greece
The light of the city fades behind as Yanis, the taxi driver, winds his grey Mercedes along the road that twists through the mountain villages. Looking through the window of the well-worn car, I reflect on the many times I have visited this Mediterranean island. Crete is considered the birthplace of western civilization and even though westernization was born thousands of years of ago, every where you look, reminisces of the island's ancient past lingers.
I doze off with the swaying of the car as it rounds the bends in the road, only to be awoken again and again by my suitcase, which continues to topple over on to me. Even while squished between my mom to my left and the luggage that wouldn't fit in the trunk to my right and my dad carrying on with Janis, I manage to drift to sleep for a few short moments during the drive. It is amazing how well you are able to ignore discomfort after a transatlantic flight. A backseat that under usual circumstances may have seemed unbearable, suddenly feels like a first class seat.
Smack! Again, my suitcase provides a rude awakening. The smell of the sea is now poignant and as I look through the glass, the familiar cliff faces jut upward from the bottom of the river gorge though which we are passing. The towering walls create a funnel for the ever-blowing winds of the island to playfully pass from north to south and back again. The road widens and the walls part. In the distance the quiet, waveless sea awaits.
We pull into Nikos and Annas Taverna. Jorgos, Nikos' son, is the first to greet us. And then Nikos, standing up from the couch by the television, comes out and hugs us and kisses us on our cheeks. After shlepping all our luggage up the stairs, to our room, we head back downstairs to the kitchen to research our late dinner menu. Though in most of the cities in Greece, restaurants have menus, in the less touristy villages, it is customary to walk into the kitchen and allow the cooks to lift the lids of the pots, while they explain each dish. My parents and I choose lentil soup. The soup is drenched with fresh olive oil, pressed from olives grown in olive groves behind the Taverna. Crete is the real Olive Garden if you ask me.
After we finish our meal, all our plates remain on the table, since in the Cretan culture it is rude to clear the table before one's guests have left. The gentle ocean breeze wisps through the mulberry tress, with their freshly budding leaves just learning to sway freely. The tall rock formations stand in dark contrast to the luminescent western night sky. Tomorrow the rock faces will reflect bright red rays from the sunrise, but for now they remain hidden, peacefully framing the stars above.

Preparations Are Ongoing in Porto Rotondo For Worlds, Audi Day Activities Soon Anticipated
11 September 2013
In Porto Rotondo, where you can still breathe a bit of summertime, measurement checks have started on boats that will ultimately give life to the forthcoming Melges 32 World Championship, one of the most highly anticipated events of the 2013 sailing season, organised by B.Plan Sport&Events (BPSE) in full collaboration with the Melges Europe and the International Melges 32 Class.
This final act of the Audi Sailing Series, hosted by the Yacht Club Porto Rotondo with the support of the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, will showcase racing starting on Wednesday, 18 September until Sunday, 22 September.
A dramatic week of sailing and social events, in addition to some very intense racing will be the highlights. Both at sea and ashore, 26 attending teams are studying in detail the regatta field and fine tuning their boats at the Regatta Village.
These activities will also involve the Audi staff, busy with all preparations before the Audi Day, scheduled in Porto Rotondo next Tuesday, 17 September.
The great success of this initiative during past events, pushed all organisers to increase the program offering 3 challenges: a consumption control, a blindfolded drive and a parking test.
Dedicated to all teams participating in the Melges 32 World Championship, car challenges will run from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. on 17 September at the Audi point in front of the Scambio Parking area in Porto Rotondo.
The first three classified teams will win two tickets each to take part in an Audi Sports Car Experience, Driving Course scheduled 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on 23 September at the Speedway in Mores, a few kilometers away from Sassari and Alghero.
Those not competing in the water will have the possibility to part in the Test Drive experience driving the latest car models produced by the Ingolstadt factory.
The Audi stand at Yacht Club Porto Rotondo will be available to give useful information anyone interested and curious driving an Audi car.

A nice break from frigid temperatures is on its way to southern Saskatchewan.
Environment Canada says we can expect the milder weather to begin early Saturday morning, and there is a promise of a daytime high Sunday to reach 0C.
The weather office says we may even see the temperature rise above 0 early next week.
Don't get out the shorts just yet though.
This short-lived weather system will only last for a few days and we can expect to temperatures to once again plummet by Wednesday.

The early scenes on foot-binding in this 19th-century Chinese story made me gag. And my feet tingle.
I started out determined to avoid cultural judgment and tried to compare foot-binding to breast implants or braces. Then I began to understand that these girls were made to break their own toes by walking on them while they were folded under their feet and bound. Mothers oversaw this relatively dangerous process (I think I read somewhere that 10 percent of girls died during foot-binding) so if she made a mistake - either fatal or simply aesthetic - all that pain was for naught.
But, once you get past this, you get a story about female friendship in a world where women had few public powers but vibrant, strong and colorful traditions too often marked by the harsh realities of famine and war.
The narrator insists that women had no independent value in this culture, but we see a father very publicly mourn his dying daughter, a daughter's advantageous marriage greatly improve a family's finances and a husband's genuine joy at being reunited with his wife after war. We see a son's most important duty being to his mother, so women are consistently vying to earn a great marriage match and then have a strong son. We see what should be familiar (conflicting) attitudes about the propriety of enjoying sex (which they hilariously call "bedroom business") and a more sober example of attempting to justify abuse.
And we see that love so strong that we forget where we end and the other begins can be undermined by our own dark thoughts and insecurities. A beautiful period piece.

Determine the purpose of your outdoor security camera: will you be monitoring to see who comes up to your front door or do you want to be able to watch all angles of the perimeter of your house and yard? Determine the view angle you need from your camera. In general, the wider the view the more the camera will record. This is particularly important if you will be using your camera to see who is approaching your front door and you want to be able to determine whether or not they are alone Determine the picture quality that you will need from your security camera and choose a camera that will provide it. While many screens are small and can use a lower resolution, a higher resolution will provide a clearer picture Choosing a wireless security camera? Choose a camera with a transmission range that will suit your needs; keep in mind that the walls of your home will reduce the range a wireless camera will have Planning to record the signal? Choose a camera that will broadcast to the system that you have chosen: closed circuit tv, your computer or a digital video recorder Do you want to have a camera that will be on all the time or do you want a camera that will start recording when movement is detected? Either way, a motion detector camera can make sure that you are able to record anything that happens Determine the size and type of security camera you are looking for. Do you need a camera that can zoom in, a camera that blends in or a camera that can record sound? Lastly, determine whether you want a camera that is monitored by a security company or not; if you do, be sure to choose the right company. Ask questions and get recommendations How to Install an Outdoor Security Camera System? Select the type of connection you want; you can choose a wired or a wireless connection. Wireless systems are easier to install with no limitations on the distance between the devices and the monitors. Be aware, however, that wireless connections are subject to signal interference. If you choose to install a wired connection, it will require more work, but you won't have any signal interference. Wireless cameras are also battery-operated, so you will have to replace the batteries periodically. Wired cameras connect to the monitors, which run on the main power source Decide where you want your security camera. Place your camera in a position that will display the entire area you wish to view. Then, decide whether you want your camera visible or hidden. If you set up a wired camera system, hiding and wiring your device will be more difficult Drill holes for mounting the brackets. If you are setting up more than one camera, make sure you allow enough distance in between. Test your camera or cameras by turning them on and placing them in position. View the coverage area and decide where to drill your holes. If you are using a wired system, make sure the camera cables are long enough to connect your camera to your monitor Attach the brackets using the screwdriver. Regardless of whether your camera is on the ground or on a wall, you will need brackets to securely position your camera. Make sure your brackets are tight and stable enough to hold the camera Mount the camera on the brackets. Make sure everything is tightly secured Select a location for your monitor. The monitor should be where you spend the most time. If you are using a wireless system, you have completed the setup process Run a cable from each camera to your monitor if you are using a wired system. Cables can run along door and floor edges or under a carpet. Use electrical tape or a staple gun to secure your wires. If your monitor does not have multiple plugs for your camera cables, you need to purchase a multiplexer. Plug your camera cables into the multiplexer and plug the multiplexer into the monitor Turn on your system to view your area Applications: Package Included: 1 x Camera * 1 x Useer Manual

Lady Bird has an awesome movie trailer. It is a 2017 American comedy-drama film. The movie was written and directed by Greta Gerwig. It's cast stars Saoirse Ronan, Laurie Metcalf, Tracy Letts, Lucas Hedges, Timothée Chalamet, Beanie Feldstein, Stephen McKinley Henderson and Lois Smith. The film had its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival on September 1, 2017. It is scheduled to be released on November 10, 2017, by A24.
Greta Gerwig is the co-writer of both Frances Ha and Mistress America. She brought an added layer of vitality to his work and most importantly, a truth to films centered around youth women. He feels that without her voice, he would be yet another guy in his 40s trying to say for women half his age.
In Lady Bird, Gerwig walkout alone, removing herself from the original picture and taking the role of writer and director. The movie is telling us the story of a confused teenage girl in the Midwest of California at Sacramento in 2002. Lady Bird is an affecting look at the relationships that shape us. The beliefs that define us and the unmatched beauty of a place called home.
Christine or Lady Bird as she prefers to be called is drifting through her final year of high school with lofty, perhaps unrealistic, aspirations of where she'll be heading to college. She frequently clashes with mother Marion whose real world concerns about money and a sense of order in their home are of little interest. Instead, Lady Bird cares about the opposite sex, her social life and daydreaming about what the future might hold.
Let's Introduce With Industry Leading Partner:
- Director: Greta Gerwig
- Writer: Greta Gerwig
- Actors: Saoirse Ronan, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Laurie Metcalf, Tracy Letts, Lucas Hedges, Timothée Chalamet, Beanie Feldstein, Lois Smith, Odeya Rush, Jordan Rodrigues
- Genre: Comedy, Drama
- Run Time: 1 hour 33 minutes
- Release Date: November 10th, 2017

What keeps swimmers going, what is the fun that is found in endless hours in the pool and close quarters with a multitude of other swimmers. Here are the Top 10 Highlights of a Swim Life.
1. Racing
Racing for a swimmer is an adrenaline rush that compares to nothing. When I'm in the pool racing my mind is at rest, feeling the rhythm of the stroke and the flow of the water over my cap. Swimmers thrive off of the energy carried in the race against all of their friends and rivals. It is exhilarating.
2. Friends
Swimming creates a bond across the team, whatever tea your on, and between other teams that surpasses any other type of bond. When your a swimmer, you can be the closest friend of your arch rival literally. I was in YMCA swimming for five years and I made friends across every team we ever rivaled. I'm still in contact with them two years later!
3. Medals
Everyone knows this was going to come up. Whether your in swimming to have fun or to be the best, getting on that podium and receiving even the lowest medal possible is a thrill. You are better than everyone else behind you in that pool and that is a feeling that you can't get anywhere else.
4. Snacks
Swimmers love to eat, not just at meals but all day long. Parents will get their child anything when they are serious about swimming so kids go crazy with the snacks. Especially if the meet is more than one day.
5. Going Out to Eat
Swimmer always enjoy a long day at a pool, but the capstone to their meet is always the meals afterwards when the whole team chooses a restaurant and they hang out for hours just talking about anything. I had so many conversations with Josh and Quinn that would never have happened or even conceived otherwise!
6. Best Time Patches
Everyone loves having tags and pictures hanging off their backpacks or sports bags. Swimmers are no different, I have almost ten best time patches hanging off my bag and I have gotten more than one comment before. Swimmers love being able to show off their best times.
7. Sleepovers
After the long meets, when you ride home with your friends and then stay up to the wee hours of the morning playing video games or board games… or both.
8. New Jammers/Breifs/Suit
When girls get new dresses, or purses, or makeup, or whatever it is now days. That is the feeling a swimmer gets over a new suit. I always loved getting a new Arena tech suit, or a Speedo brief with a cool logo on the side.
9. Swim Bags
It is similar to getting a new school bag, which mine will hopefully be here soon… *cough* Amazon… except you use it to carry everything you need for a swim meet. It is essentially like packing the essentials from your house in one bag and moving for a day.
10. Coaches
Last but not least, Coaches. I loved my coach, and I still go to his house and hang out an discuss swimming. Swimmers will have a connection with their coach because their coach knows their physical and mental state, as both are very important to our sport, and he/her watches them grow up through the swimming program.
That's the top ten! Want some small tips on swimming or have questions? Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I'd be happy to answer! Have a great week!

Back in my early to mid 20's, I cooked in a couple of restaurants. It was not something that I wanted to make a career out of, so it was not something that I pursued. Which is not to say that I did not learn how to cook. Without a doubt I am not a grand chef, but I can cook without burning everything.
Event's of the last 5 months which I have not been shy relating to here, have, well, let's say have me a bit off my game.
I haven't done a lot of cooking over the last 10 or 15 years. Mostly just special occasions. Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and birthdays. Well, after the passing of my mother and my brother, cooking is no longer optional. My brother loved to cook, but, well, he's gone now so living all alone as I now do, if I don't cook, I don't eat.
I managed the first week just doing Top Ramen, surprise surprise, that got old really fast. So now I have started cooking again. Getting used to cooking for only one person is taking a bit of practice. If I am not careful, I cook way to much.
The pasta is Ziti, once cooked it gets a tablespoon of Olive Oil, a 1/4th teaspoon of Rosemary a 1/4th teaspoon of Thyme, 1/8th teaspoon of Garlic and a 1/4th teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. The Ziti then was covered with a Alfredo sauce.
The Sirloin was cooked in Olive Oil, with a light sprinkling of Rosemary black pepper and garlic.
The Lobster was lightly covered in butter and garlic with a squeeze of lemon.
The Asparagus got butter and garlic.
To be truthful, at the moment this obviously constitutes "Comfort Food". So I will have to be careful to not eat like this more than once a week, or I will end up fatter than Vince Neal faster than I can change strings on my guitar.
