Massachusetts Task Force to Review Alcohol Laws
The first five members of a seven-person task force charged with examining Massachusetts' decades-old alcohol laws have been named, according to a new report from the Boston Globe.
Massachusetts Treasurer Deb Goldberg has appointed three former legal and political figures — including Kate Cook, the former chief legal counsel to former governor Deval Patrick — to conduct a sweeping review of the state's alcohol laws and provide suggestions for modifying elements of Chapter 138 (Alcoholic Liquors) of the Massachusetts General Laws.
Goldberg also named former Fitchburg Mayor Lisa Wong and former Port Authority chief legal counsel Rachel Rollins to the task force. Also joining the group will be Representative John Fernandes, appointed by House Speaker Robert DeLeo, and Pete Wilson, the press secretary for Senate President Stanley C. Rosenberg.
Governor Charlie Baker is also expected to name an appointee at a later date; Goldberg will also be responsible for picking the group's chair, according to the Globe.
The news comes nearly three months after Boston-based alcohol attorney John Connell told beer industry professionals attending a Brew Talks event at the Jack's Abby brewery, the task force would consist of "five to seven people of learned backgrounds," and be asked to take a "top to bottom look at the liquor control laws in Massachusetts."
According to the Globe, the task force will examine a variety of issues, including but not limited to: rules surrounding pay-to-play incentives, franchise laws that govern relationships between brewers and wholesalers, liquor licensing, and funding for the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission (ABCC), the agency tasked with regulating the manufacturing, distribution and sale of alcohol beverages.
The group is expected to meet for the first time by the end of January.
The report also comes five days after it was announced that ABCC chairwoman Kim Gainsboro would depart the agency after eight years for a job in banking.
Great Divide Down 16 Percent in 2016
Very large, established craft beer companies weren't the only breweries that struggled to grow in 2016.
A report from Denver's Westword last Friday revealed that regional brewery Great Divide, which made more than 43,000 barrels of beer in 2015, failed to grow for the first time in 23 years.
"We were having 25 to 30 percent growth on an annual basis; we were used to that. So it was definitely a tough year, and it stings," brewery founder Brian Dunn told the outlet.
Great Divide production dipped 16 percent in 2016, after the company discontinued three top-selling year-round brands, according to Dunn.
Had the company continued producing those offerings — Nomad Pilsner, Lasso Session IPA and Hoss Rye Lager — Dunn believes production would have actually increased.
"At some point, you need to change the lineup, you need to make decisions based on what's best for the brewery in the long term," he told the outlet.
As a result of the declines, Great Divide will delay construction on a new brewery that was to be built next to its packaging facility in the River North neighborhood of Denver.
Big Al Brewing Closes Its Doors
Great Divide wasn't the only established craft brewery feeling the pressure of increasing competition last year. Washington's Big Al Brewing announced via Facebook last week that it would shutter its business after board members elected to enter chapter 7 bankruptcy.
The brewery, which made less than 1,500 barrels of beer in 2015, according to the Brewers Association, officially closed its doors on January 14.
In a letter to employees, founder Alejandro Brown cited increasing local competition and struggles to maintain draft placements at "rotator" bars as reasons for the closure.
Boutique Beer Distributor Launches in Colorado
A new craft beer wholesaler focused on distributing products from small craft breweries has opened in Denver, according to Westword.
Launched in December and appropriately named "Colorado Craft Distributors," the upstart aims to deliver offerings from a niche and curated list of local brands to Front Range retailers.
The wholesaler already has six clients, according to Westword, including Caution Brewing, Horse & Dragon Brewing, Lost Highway Brewing, Oasis Brewing, Jessup Farm Barrel House and De Steeg Brewing.
"We are hoping to add three to four more breweries by summer," co-founder Tom Jasko told the outlet. "We will probably cap it at around twelve."
Texas' Andrews Distributing Drops Red Bull
Earlier this month, Dallas-based Andrews Distributing, a MillerCoors wholesaler, announced plans to cease the sale and delivery of Red Bull products across its North and South Texas footprints, according to an internal memo obtained by Brewbound.
In a note to employees, Andrews president Mike McGuire said the decision to drop the energy drink giant from the portfolio was "tough," but that it would allow the company to "move forward with a 100 percent focus on our core beer business."
"This company's strength is beer distribution; there is a strong and sustainable growth path if we focus on organic growth of those impressive and distinctive products," he wrote. "Importantly, we are confident Andrews will continue to add new and powerful brands, territories and customers to the company's portfolio."
In his note, McGuire expressed hope that all Andrews employees who were tasked with selling Red Bull products would "be able to move to Red Bull North America, join the Andrews beer business, or migrate to another opportunity."
When asked, a company spokesperson declined to comment on how many employees would be impacted by the move.

(Musings and observations from the site of the CFB national championship)
TAMPA--John Swofford, the commissioner of the Atlantic Coast Conference, was an interested observer on Sunday as Clemson coach Dabo Swinney and Alabama coach Nick Saban held their final media event before Monday night's national championship game.
Swofford was low key as usual when talking about another ACC opportunity to win a national championship.
Since a similar informal meeting with the media at last season's national championship game in Arizona between Clemson and Alabama, Swofford has watched the ACC achievement's continue to climb. ACC teams were part of the men's national championship basketball game (North Carolina), and when Florida State beat Michigan in this season's Orange bowl it elevated ACC bowl teams to an 8-3 record, by far the best of any conference. ACC teams have now won 5 Orange Bowls in succession and 11 ACC teams had winning records this season
""I don't say that to brag,'' said Swofford, 'but it's just a matter of respect that our league has achieved.''
Now all they need to do to close the deal is finish the season with a win--and a national championship.
TMG Sports had the pleasure of sitting down with CFB Executive Director Bill Hancock on Saturday in our newly minted podcast AUDIO CLIPS. As usual, Hancock, who we have known for years, was interesting and entertaining.
One of the key issues he talked about was the sentiment in many circles to expand the playoff format to 8 teams. With 9 years remaining in a 12 year contract, there isn't likely to be an overhaul any time soon, although there could be tweaks to the system. But according to Hancock, moving to 8 teams is not feasible as any limit placed on guaranteed spots for conference champions will not work.
"If you do that,'' said Hancock in the podcast, ""the commissioners say you have to have 10 guaranteed spots for each of the conferences and that won't work.''
The reason for that was because of the fear of anti-trust suits which could and probably would be filed by conferences outside of the Power 5 conferences.
Hancock also--not unexpectedly--defended the selection's committee of the four schools chosen for the Final Four playoffs--Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State and Washington. '"For the third year in a row, the committee got it right. For that and more check out thepodcast at TMGcollegesports.com,

But before I get to all that, for those of you who aren't familiar with this highly desirable neighborhood in in North Redondo Beach 90278, here's what I can tell you.
Other variations buyers may find are "standard" floor plans with the living room and dining room downstairs and 3 bedrooms upstairs. We have seen a few homes that also feature an open bonus area upstairs.
Most of the housing in the Golden Hills are various generations of what are affectionately referred to as "tall and skinny" multi-level single family homes built on 2500 sq ft lots. The typical floor plan of the newer tall and skinny homes feature 2 bedrooms downstairs, one of which has a double sliding door leading to a very small backyard, and a great room, dining room, and master bedroom located upstairs. Vaulted cathedral ceilings are very common. The great room typically has a fireplace. Some Golden Hills homes also feature fireplaces in the master bedroom. Many of these homes are very similar in floor plan to 3 on a lot attached townhouses found in MLS area 151-152.
Additionally, buyers will find a few attached townhouse complexes. The detached two on a lot townhomes and attached 2 and 3 on a lot properties in MLS area 151-152 are typically not found in the Golden Hills.
Many, but not all of the homes are in the highly desirable Jefferson Elementary School borders. Jefferson consistently is rated as one of the top Elementary Schools in the area. The borders for Jefferson are partially Golden Hills and partially MLS area 152.
You can walk or bike to the beach from many of the houses in the Golden Hills. While no Golden Hills homes have ocean views, many have great mountain, city, and neighborhood views.
I did diverge somewhat so let's get back to the housing current inventory for sale.
And then there's some that surprise me because they haven't sold. A few examples would be 1739 Ford Ave currently on the market over 70 days and listed for $865,000. Granted this one came out a little too high at $875K but you would think that someone could get it into escrow for maybe $850K. It has a unique feature I liked, maybe someone else doesn't: the north side has additional easement land to create an extra large yard area. So you are not as crammed in as other lots with the smaller backyards.
Probably my favorite Golden Hills listing right now is 1532 Harper Ave, Redondo Beach CA 90278.
This is the 3 level floorplan that looks like 2 levels from the outside. And because Harper (about my favorite street) often is at the highest point of the hill, there are great mountain and neighborhood views (picture at the top of blog post).
In addition to the standard 3 bedrooms, there is a huge "media" or "bonus" room on the lowest level creating the extra square footage to make this a 2500+ sq ft property (on a 2500 sq ft lot). How cool is that?
Or at even a lower entry point, there's 1631 Carver St which at $599K for a single family house is the definition of starter. It's only 920 sq ft but is a great condo alternative.
For those buyers with just a bit more budget, check out 1617 Stanford Ave. This is your more traditional older reverse floorplan Tall and Skinny. It's priced at $760K which is what some 3 on a lots are now starting to sell for.

10 Little Things You Can Do For Your Partner that Add Up to a Big "I Love You!"
You don't need vacations, expensive jewelry, or a fancy gadget to prove to your partner that you love them. Yes, grand gestures are always nice, but it's the little things that add up! Actions speak louder than words, and these 10 actions will ensure your partner knows just how much you love them.
10 Little Things That Say 'I Love You'
1. Know your partner's love language
We all crave love in different ways so the things that make you feel loved may not make your partner feel that same amount of love. For example, if your love language is gift giving, you may assume that your partner will feel most loved when you shower them with gifts. But let's say your partner's love language is quality time; this doesn't mean they won't appreciate the gifts, they'll just feel more valued if you do something to carve out time to spend with them on an especially busy day.
2. Show interest in the things they care about
You and your partner probably have different passions and interests, which is great! A big part of making them feel loved is showing an interest in the things they care most about. This doesn't mean faking it (pretending to like cars when you really have no interest at all), instead, it means seeking to understand what they love most and why they love it.
3. Engage in the activities they care about
This is the action part of showing interest in the things your partner cares about. If your partner is an animal activist, suggest going to volunteer at a shelter together. If they love golf, head to the driving range and let them teach you a few things about their favorite sport.
4. Spend time with their friends
Often times our friends are an extension of ourselves. Spending time with your partner's friends is a great way to show your partner you're invested in their life. This might mean giving up an occasional Friday night that you'd usually spend with your group of friends, but relationships include all sorts of sacrifices.
5. Respect their need for space
While quality time is crucial in any relationship, it's equally important to give your partner space. This alone time (or solo time spent with their friends) gives them the opportunity to recharge and refuel. It will also give them the chance to miss you and value your time together even more.
6. Actively listen
We all need an outlet and a person to share our highs and lows with. By actively listening to the good and the bad in your partner's life, you're proving you can be that person. Sometimes they'll need you to lend an ear, so they have the opportunity to vent. Other times they might be seeking advice. Be careful not to cross the two and give unsolicited advice when it's not needed, or not offer any advice at all when they're desperately seeking it.
7. Giving gifts
We all love to get a little present, especially when we're not expecting it. Giving your partner a "gift" can be as small as grabbing their favorite candy in the checkout aisle of the grocery store. Gifting something as small as this shows that even in unexpected situations, they're always on your mind.
8. Think ahead
A lot of showing your partner you love them includes knowing what they're up against and trying to make life a little easier for them. Let's say it's trash day but you know your partner had a tough day at work. Do something little like taking the trash cans out to the street; this way they'll have one less thing to worry about when they get home.
9. Prioritize your relationship
Life can get busy pretty fast and it's easy to start cutting out the fun things that were once keeping your relationship exciting. To prevent this from happening, set aside time each week to make your partner a priority. Make Saturday's your date night and don't allow any conflict to get in the way of it.
10. Don't forget the importance of physical touch.
As humans, we crave the need for physical touch. It's a vital part of any relationship. It's a way to say 'I love you' without using words. If your partner has been under a lot of stress, give them a massage when they get home from work. If they're having trouble falling asleep at night, give them a back rub until they begin to doze off.
Again, you don't need to go big in order to prove to your partner that you love them. Each of these little things is sure to show how much love you feel for them.

Monday of the Second Week of Lent
But yours, O Lord, our God, are compassion and forgiveness!
Today's reading from Daniel talks about the sins we as humans have committed towards God and our fellow brothers and sisters, and the unwavering compassion that God shows us. How great is our God, who is merciful and compassionate? This Lenten season is a season of repentance and renewal, where we are encouraged to examine how we might better live out our covenant with our God who forgives and replenishes our spirit. Growing up, I never realized how beautiful of a season Lent was. For forty days we are invited to more deeply look at and cherish our relationship with God with the realization that through Him we find peace and unity.
Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
Today's Gospel talks about living in a way that glorifies and imitates God. Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning and you will not be condemned. Give and gifts will be given to you. I think that this is a wonderfully encouraging message because it asks us to treat our brothers and sisters in Christ the way that God treats us. There have been times when I have been quick to judge and slow to forgive, and through prayer, contemplation, and messages like the readings today, I've realized that seeing and treating people through God's eyes and with God's hands is a mutually uplifting and rejuvenating experience. How great of a place could this world be if we saw people through God's loving eyes?
I think that another message that could follow from the Gospel today is "love others and you will be loved." I believe that deep down, the most humbling and human desire is to be loved. That desire connects us all on a beautiful and simple level. What's so great (and scary) about love is that it's not measured by how much of it we have, but by how much of it we give. I think that too often, we allow ourselves to forget to love others due to being busy, stressed, or tired. That has the risk of creating an image of indifference. Pope Francis suggests that more than anything, we fast from indifference to others this Lenten season.
I think we can all agree that the SLU community experienced a turbulent semester this Fall. The events that took place on and around campus brought to light issues and feelings that have existed in St. Louis for many years, and all people on and around campus have experienced feeling unloved or indifference towards them or their opinions. This Lenten season, what if we committed more than anything to give freely of our love and interest in others, no matter how similar or different we are to them, by seeing each other through our God's loving eyes?
For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you.

By we, I mean Dan as usual. It's like the Royal 'We', which I think you'll find makes me like the Queen or at least Princess Mary of Denmark.
And there's no way Princess Mary is getting up a ladder to cut in the VJs anytime soon.
I posted 'before' shots here, but it occurred to me after that I wasn't giving a fair picture of the actual before.
These are the ACTUAL before photos, the photos of the deck we lived with for four years before it increasingly became dangerous, not least because there was no sun protection at all and have you seen my complexion?
If you learn one thing in this blog post, let it be that redheads living in Queensland need roofs on their decks.
As you can see, it was a pretty crappy home-job done by the people who owned this place before us. But it served us well for a period of our lives when we lived with no kitchen, no curtains, no blinds - not much of anything, to be honest.

Need help sourcing marriage certificateAll Woman Monday, December 04, 2017
Dear Mrs Macaulay,
I got married in Jamaica in 1992. I received only a receipt of marriage, and no licence to my knowledge was even filed. I contacted the Registrar General's Department (RGD) to search for a licence , but up to this point it has not been located. Is it possible to use the receipt that I still have in order to get the marriage licence that was never received? I reside in the US and I am desperately looking for a way to validate my marriage of 25 years.
To be clear, it is the marriage certificate that you need — not the licence. The licence only authorises that the marriage can take place, for the marriage officer to know that he or she can conduct the marriage ceremony, as the parties have met all the legal qualifications and requirements pursuant to the Marriage Act to contract a legal marriage.
I am amazed that you waited 25 years before taking any steps to obtain a certified copy of your marriage certificate. It is the usual practice for the marriage officer, after the proper execution/signing of the Marriage Register by the couple, by their witnesses and by the officer, to hand a copy to the bride, who would have been you. Is this what you are calling a receipt?
The marriage officer's name should be on the counterfoil certificate handed to you. He or she is then obligated to file the requisite copy at the RGD to be entered and recorded. Not doing so is an offence.
Have you tried to contact the marriage officer? Is the person still performing marriages? You ought to do a search of the roll/list of marriage officers who are currently conducting ceremonies of marriage. If that person's name is on the list, you should try to contact him or her and explain that you need a certified copy of your marriage certificate. Let the officer know that the RGD has informed you that they have no record of your marriage. This would imply that the marriage officer did not submit the record of your marriage to the RGD. It is also quite possible that the officer is no longer alive or even in Jamaica, but you have to make the search.
If this is in fact the case, then you are left with only one hope, that is to make an application to the court, the last bastion of justice, to make a declaration of the fact of your marriage 25 years ago, as appears on your counterfoil, and make an order that it be entered by the Registrar General and that a certified copy be issued to you. You will have to support your application with your affidavit spelling out all the facts of your said marriage and explain how you only have the counterfoil in your possession. You must also relate therein why you need to prove your marriage now, and why you waited for 25 years to do anything about obtaining a certified copy of your marriage certificate. You must also relate all the facts about the searches you have made to find the marriage officer, and the results of your contacts with the RGD.
The Supreme Court has inherent jurisdiction that enables a judge therein to make orders which are not pursuant to any specific legal provision, but which are necessary, right and just.
This inordinate delay by you illustrates the fact that people could lose that to which they are entitled, or at the very least be put to great trouble and expense to sort out the mess occasioned by their own negligence. It is always better to act as quickly as possible to protect ourselves from irreparable harm or to avoid a great deal of trouble and expense.

Maltusianism is its philosophical opposite, claiming that population growth is bad, and that if you have children you should probably feel bad. I'm not particularly fond of either of these schools of thought, but I'll explain why later.
From Wikipedia:
A cornucopian is a futurist who believes that continued progress and provision of material items for mankind can be met by similarly continued advances in technology. Fundamentally they believe that there is enough matter and energy on the Earth to provide for the ever-rising population of the world.
Stereotypically, a cornucopian is someone who posits that there are few intractable natural limits to growth and believes the world can provide a practically limitless abundance of natural resources. The label 'cornucopian' is rarely self-applied, and is most commonly used derogatorily by those who believe that the target is overly optimistic about the resources that will be available in the future.
One common example of this labeling is by those who are skeptical of the view that technology can solve, or overcome, the problem of an exponentially-increasing human population living off a finite base of natural resources. So-called cornucopians might counter that human population growth has slowed dramatically, and not only is currently growing at a linear rate, but is projected to peak and start declining later this century.
From SimplyEducate.me:
The Cornucopians are those who believe that advances in technology can take care of society's needs. An increase in population is viewed positively because with more population comes more brains to generate ideas. These ideas generate technology in the form of modern gadgets, procedures, systems, among others that help address the problems associated with human sustenance and improve people's quality of life.
People became more specialized in their work thus become more efficient and more able to respond to problems that arise in human affairs. Food production increased greatly as a result of modern, more efficient food production systems. Despite increased per capita consumption, virtually enough could be produced from the bounties of the earth.
On Malthusianism, the same site has this to say:
The Malthusians are adherents of Thomas Malthus, an influential British scholar who popularized the pessimistic view of population increase founded on the assumption that with more population, more mouths will have to be fed, thus more resources to support that need. The food required to fill this need will not be enough as food production could not keep pace with population increase. This is popularly known as the Malthusian Theory.
Uncontrolled population growth inexorably results to environmental destruction. The ultimate scenario of the Malthusian theory would be wars, famine, resource depletion, among others as a result of competition for dwindling natural resources.
More or less simple, no?
Here's what the RationalWiki has to say about some of the more extreme manifestations of both:
Crank ideas tend to accumulate the farther out to either side one travels along the Cornucopian-Malthusian continuum.
Denial of various environmental issues such as global warming, ozone depletion, acid rain, etc. can be systematically found on the Cornucopian side. Wishful thinking like abiotic oil is common among the crankier types.
On the Malthusian side, hard green ideologies, the hard forms of the Gaia hypothesis, and associated nature woo become more common. Predictions of imminent "doom 'n gloom" have been described as "disasterbation."[19] Also on the extreme Malthusian side can be found "lifeboat ethics," coined by Garrett Hardin, which holds that the poor nations are already too overpopulated to help, and likens the rich nations to lifeboats that will sink if they share their resources and remain afloat if they don't. This view inverts the conventional wisdom by claiming that it is immoral to give aid to the starving, because to do so means the rich and poor nations will both starve. The broader influence of Hardin's line of thought has led to an enthusiasm for immigration restriction in some quarters of the environmental movement, which is highly controversial.
Y'see where I'm coming from now?
For the most part, I subscribe to neither camp, though if pushed I will admit to agreeing with the weakest principles of Malthusianism; i.e. that population growth and resource depletion always results in more problems than solutions. Historically, though, Malthusianism has tended to have rather classist and racist implications. Malthus himself, I believe, even argued that it was morally wrong for the poor to even have children and start families, and that it would be better for the poor to just… die out. (Not that it's possible for a capitalist society to even exist without the low and working classes.) I do not, however, believe that an enormous population is a problem; rather, I firmly believe it's a symptom of other, deeper issues.
Cornucopianism, on the other hand, seems to most often manifest as blind optimism in my experience. It's a form of scientism, I feel– one of the definitions of which refers to the excessive deference to scientific theory, empirical knowledge, and just plain reductionist thinking in all spheres of human understanding. This is almost a kind of religious belief, though. That instead of a prophet or deity, it is "science" and "technology" that will save us, even if current levels of technology and understanding have no feasible answers. The fact that there is only a finite amount of resources that we can expend in these efforts to secure more resources doesn't seem to be something that occurs to them. Someone like my dad, for instance, seems to insist that we will have enough oil to get us to the next phase of energy technology, whatever and whenever that may be, completely ignoring that oil reserves aren't going to wait until we don't need them anymore before they decide to stop existing. (For the record, he isn't wholly convinced of climate change either and spent many years going from one anti-AGW theory to the next. Eventually he ran out of explanations that haven't been debunked and sat himself firmly in the "undecided" camp.)
At any rate, these are important schools of thought to be familiar with as we go out into the wide, messy world of environmentalism, conservationism, and economic justice.

Some Powerful Characters And Their Special Moves In Injustice 2 Game
Aquaman is a Power User in the game. The Aquaman is a hybrid that possesses innumerable powers which are well above the average of both species – human and Atleantean. He can breathe and survive underwater and has amazing strength, durability, and stamina to withstand deep pressure of the ocean depths. This makes him stand tough in front of stronger opponents. His ability to control and command everything in the sea like giant crabs, sharks, etc. is commendable. Some of his special moves are; Trident Rush, Water Shield, Trident Scoop, From the Deep, etc.
A leader of the Red Lantern Corps, the Atrocitus has the ability to grab the enemy and emit fire on their face. Thus, forcing them to bend down, then he launches them upwards by kicking on their jaws. Some of his special moves are Rage Charge, Napalm Vomit, Blood-Nado, etc. In the Napalm Vomit move, he can vomit blood on the enemy; thus, causing damage over time. With the Life Drain move, he can replenish his own health by draining it from his enemy. The Siphon Power move will make him drain his enemy's super meter.
Classified as a Gadget User, the Batman is one of the most dangerous playable characters of the game. He has mastered almost every martial art and trained his mind to solve all kinds of problems. The Straight Grapple move will let him fire a grappling hook towards the enemy. Once it connects, he can reel towards the enemy and deliver an airborne kick. In this Batarang move, he can pull out two Batarangs and throw them at his enemy. With the Up Batarang move, he will be able to throw the Batarang into the air. The Scattar Bombs move will let him jump into the air and release small explosives.
Black Canary:
Black Canary has similar moves to that of Batman, which allows her to easily take on an entire gang of opponents and emerge as a victor. She has physically trained herself well and this has provided her with considerable agility and stamina to fight in the battlefield. In her Sonic Scream move, she can jump into the air and scream on her enemy with her Canary Cry. This will force the enemy to get down to their knees. She then reaches the ground and bicycle kicks the enemy into the air. Then, she jumps again to the air and slams them into the ground with her Canary Cry. The last step of her move is to kill the enemy with a powerful punch.
Catwoman is one of the fastest fighters in the game. She has trained herself to peak physical conditions, which makes her fast and nimble. Being an incredibly talented gymnast, she can powerfully face the opponents while showing her vigor. Her real ability can be seen in the special moves that she performs. In Cat Claws move, she can extend her claws to swipe the enemy and throw them into the air. Her Straight Whip move will enable her to crack her whip in front; thus, knocking her enemy down. With her Low Feline Evade move, she can hop into the air; thereby avoiding all low attacks and projectiles. In the Car Stance move, she can perform any of these three attacks – Cartwheel, Whip Attack, or Pounce.
The Cyborg is a Power User in the game who has superhuman strength and durability that is high enough to trade and survive blows from the enemy. His real talent is computer skills, with which he can coordinate massive attacks, hack almost all security systems and can take complete control of it. With his Nova Blaster move, he can modify his arm into cannon and blast a yellow orb of energy. To fire a blast of energy in the air, he can make use of his Air Nova Blaster move. The Power Fist move will let him transform his right arm into a huge mechanical fist that can uppercut his opponent. The Sonic Disrupter move will enable him to modify his arm into cannon and eject several powerful sonic waves onto the enemies.
Captain Cold:
Captain Cold acquires a cold gun that can generate a cold field at zero temperatures. It can also fire streams of ice as beams, thereby creating ice wherever they strike. Some of his special moves include Cold Blast, wherein he can shoot an icy shard out of his gun at the enemy. The Wall move will let him create a wall of ice in front of him, thus saving him from the opponent. With the Big Freeze move, he can fire an icy shot at the enemy's legs. To charge up his guns for increasing damages caused from his moves, he needs to use the Cyclotron Charge move. In the Glacier Grenade move, he can shoot a small grenade out of his gun. It then emits a large icy field that can slowly hurt the enemy and eventually freeze him. If you don't have enough resources to get this character try using Injustice 2 Hack.
Poison Ivy:
Poison Ivy makes use of her plants to help her in her attacks. She uses methods such as poison, tendrils, and some unique creatures made from her plants. She is extremely strong and has the capability to fight bare handed with her opponents. In her Kiss of Death move, she grabs the enemy's face as she is about to kiss them. Then, she slaps on their face and puts them down. In the Vine Drill move, she summons a vine in the ground to hit the enemy. The Datura Hammer move lets her use 4 different attacks – Straight Attack, Low Attack, Uppercut Attack, and Meter Burn Attack. She even has the capability to turn her skin into bark so that he can take less damage, and for that she makes use of the Rhytidome Skin move. In the Bed of Thorns move, she plants thorns on the ground. This can damage the enemy as soon as they step in it; thus, causing a lot of damage.
The Flash:
This playable character is classified as a Gadget user. It relies entirely upon his speed to fight, by literally running circles around slower enemies. His main source of power is known as the Speed Force. He can run well past the speed of light and is faster than Superman. In his Speed Dodge move, he vibrates at high speeds, which makes him intangible for some time. In the Lightning Charge move, he can thrust his entire body forward while surrounded by electricity, head butting his enemy in the abdomen. To deliver a swift lightning charged kick to his enemy, he can make use of the Lightning Kick move. The Flying Uppercut move is similar to the Lightning Charge move. Another amazing move of the Flash is to grab the enemy, punch him repeatedly, run back, and again reappear behind them to deliver a sudden elbow jab to their back which will send them forward.
Green Lantern:
He is a playable character and is classified as a Power User. He can use his power ring to create any object he imagines into solid green light. The Green Lantern possesses a powerful force of will that allows him to wield the most powerful weapon in the universe. In the Oa's Rocket move, he fires a green colored missile shaped construct at his enemy. This construct can be fired from the air. In the Rocket Power move, he fires two missile constructs from above his head at his opponent. In the Minigun move, he can summon a minigun construct and open fire on his enemy. To summon a large turbine construct from the air and ram it into his enemy, he will have to use the Turbine Smash move. In the Battery Blast move, he pulls his Power Battery and fires a single energy blast from it.

Aimed to give maximum publicity to the cause of Bitcoin, the new Bitcoin payment processor Circle Internet Financial invited M. Michele Burns to become a board member which she has accepted. Thus, she has become the latest representative from the world of big finance and investing to show an interest in the virtual currency.
According to some market observers it is good publicity, and the move will prompt other top bankers to come and join the Bitcoin revolution. They also believe that the latest move on the part of M. Michele Burns represents a possible greater acceptance of Bitcoin in the U.S. among the bankers which can give impetus to its cause.
The move is going to give some life to Bitcoin, particularly when other large countries like China and India are attempting to block or caution against its use. M. Michele Burns comes with a lot of experience. Earlier she was on the board at Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and currently she is also working as a director at Cisco Systems Inc.
M. Michele Burns never shies from hiding her ideological attachment as she supported Democratic politicians Al Gore and Hillary Clinton
M. Michele Burns is a Veteran in Finance and Banking
The decision to bring M. Michele Burns was not taken overnight but after a lot of deliberations. Her resume tells that she has vast experience in the banking and finance sector for three decades now. She started her stint in the finance industry more than three decades ago in 1981 and later on became Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of insurance brokerage Marsh & McLennan, and Chairman and CEO of consultancy firm Mercer.
Now joining Circle Internet Financial which has become a center of attraction after the most successful 'Series A investment in a Bitcoin company' wherein it got $9m. The investments came from some of the most known tech investors such as Jim Breyer, Accel Partners and General Catalyst Partners.
Circle Internet Financial Willing to Expand and Reach New Audiences
Headed by Jeremy Allaire who has tons of experience working as CEO of online video platform Brightcove and Allaire Corporation in the past, Circle Internet Financial is expected to expand further and make better use of Bitcoin. Allaire is a staunch supporter of Bitcoin and fronted the US Senate Committee hearings on Bitcoin in November.
Allaire believes that Bitcoin had to live with the realities of a regulatory environment; however, there are too many regulatory burdens that should be lifted.

- Department of Labor Issues Guidance on Voting on ESG Proposals
- January 17, 2017
- Law Firm: Greenberg Traurig LLP - New York Office
- On Dec. 28, 2016, the Department of Labor, or DOL, issued a new interpretive bulletin (IB 2016-01) to clarify that plan fiduciaries can exercise their proxy voting rights as part of their fiduciary duty to manage plan assets. The guidance also clarifies when plan fiduciaries can consider environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters issues in connection with its shareholder engagement activities.
The DOL was concerned that its prior guidance had been broadly misunderstood by stakeholders to permit the exercise of shareholder rights only where the plan conducted a cost-benefit analysis and concluded that the proxy vote or action is more likely than not to increase the economic value of the plan's investment.
In its updated guidance, the DOL noted that fiduciaries may engage in shareholder activities intended to monitor or influence corporate management if the fiduciary concludes that there is a reasonable expectation that such monitoring or communication with shareholders is likely to enhance the value of the plan's investment, after taking into account the costs involved. Active monitoring and communication activities include, among others:
- governance issues including board independence and expertise, board composition, and executive compensation;
- policies regarding mergers and acquisitions;
- the extent of debt financing and capitalization;
- long-term business plans including climate change preparedness and sustainability; and
- policies and practices to address environmental or social factors that have an impact on shareholder value.
The guidance also provides that a plan may include in its statement of investment policy voting guidelines as well as policies concerning economically targeted investments or ESG factors.
The new guidance became effective on Dec. 29, 2016.

Fettuccine without the alfredo
Posted by snowflakes in Diet & Exercise, Food on November 9, 2011
Noodles were the most common alternative in most part of asia. Until one fine evening, I dined in Olive garden that fed me the lovely fettuccine Chicken alfredo. One bite of the creamy sauce that took me to the sky and I just fell in love with it.
From then, I have been trying to make my own Alfredo sauce and haven't been that successful. I mean the sauces I made were okay, but the taste was not extraordinary to be proud of. I am not giving up, still going to give it a few more shots.
Meanwhile for a change, I adapted this recipe to fettuccine and it was turned out lovely.
Thanks to Clara for sharing the simplest best thing ever.
The only addition I did was adding some red pepper flakes and 1/4th tsp of italian seasoning.
too bad i waited this long …Pumpkin loaf..
Posted by snowflakes in Diet & Exercise, Food on March 30, 2011
When it comes to baking a bread, there is always this dilemma to make a quick bread or an yeast bread. Making a quick bread, requires the use of sugar and butter and tons of other stuff that would add to your waistline and make you further guilty when you skip exercises for a couple of days. However, making a yeast bread is definitely worth the extra hours that you spend on it, but I wait in fear as how the bread would turn out, soft/ crumbly, rise enough/flatten out and soo many other things… and I exactly remember my reaction when I take out an yeast bread from the oven, I will be tempted to slice it and examine the texture, to connect the flaws to the prep steps…. and if it was not a success, it takes time to accept the failed attempt and regroup myself and keep motivated for the next attempt… On the other hand, quick bread is simple as mixing the contents and baking it, 80% of the time, it can never go wrong….Given the higher probability of success, I wonder of ways to make it more healthier….
Until few weeks ago, the only quick bread I made was banana bread and vanilla loaf, I started searching alternatives to incorporate fruits or healthier ingredients to my bread. I did gather a list of breads that I need to try sometime… and one of them was pumpkin loaf recipe thatz been sitting for quite some time on my notebook… but the result was fabulous…
Prep for it:
To make the Dry mixture:
1) 1 cup of King Arthurs Unbleached bread flour
2) 1/2 tsp of baking soda
3) 1/2 tsp of baking powder
4) 1 tsp of cinnamon powder
5) 1/2 tsp of salt
6) 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts (optional)
To make the Wet mixture:
1) 3/4 cup of mix of granulated white sugar + brown sugar ( you can choose to stick with either one, I used both to empty my pantry :))
2) 1/2 cup of vegetable oil (skipped butter)
3) 4 eggs
4) 1.5 tsp of vanilla extract
5) 1/2 the contents of 15oz pumpkin puree (i reserved the other 1/2 for the next loaf or probably a soup)
Bake it:
In a wide bowl, combine well, the oil + eggs+ sugar for a good 4 minutes until you see a slightly thickened batterish consistency. Mix in the pumpkin and vanilla extract. On the dry side, mix the items 1 – 5 and slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture by stirring in circular motion softly until all of them come together well. Now add 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts for added flavor.
Preheat the oven to 350C. Lightly grease a 9×5 pan, pour the mixture, and bake it for 55-60 minutes. Once done, let it cool completely for a good 1 hour before slicing. The bread will be dense and just a single slice is sure to fill you well for a good 3 hours.
I should have added 1/4 cup of sour cream for a creamy and tangy flavor and cut back about 2 eggs.

How my Yoga practice became a metaphor for my life
Breathe and Relax
I am a relative newcomer to Yoga, the ancient practice of holding poses with controlled breathing. In fact, I only recently am learning how much more beneficial Yoga can be to my life by practicing the way it is intended to be practiced.
Recently, while in the midst of my daily, 50 minute practice it occurred to me how many of the instructions for the class given by the leader are like metaphor's for how to live life!
I am no expert on Yoga, but I have been an avid exerciser for most of my life. It is only in the past few years that I've really embraced Yoga over my former choices of high impact, high aerobic exercise. I had eschewed doing Yoga more primarily because I didn't think it would benefit me as much as some of my former types of exercise.
Boy, was I wrong! I want to share the many examples of how the practice of Yoga can be a guide to a healthy life practice.
It's not about how loose you are or how strong but about being alive
I use a DVD of an Ashtanga (Power) Yoga instructor and over the past few years I have pretty much memorized his spiel. One of the comments he makes is "Yoga is not about how loose or strong you are; it's about being alive and feeling something". I love this statement and I find it a perfect metaphor for life.
Life isn't about being rich, or famous or strong, but about being present and alive and participating. I think we all tend to get in our own way on the road to creating a better life. Our Ego eggs us on to push past somebody else in accomplishments, or to make more and more money for bigger and better things to own.
But, if we just let go of all the attachments and just become open vessels who breathe in life and accept the flow we can be ever so much happier. In our Western society, it has often been about "keeping up with the Jone'ses". How much nicer if we let go of needing to compete with anybody but just to be the best we can be for ourselves.
I think that we are not meant to live by our ego, but by our heart and spirit. Only then can we fully embrace the generosity of the universe in it's fullness; when we aren't attached to the outcome but just trust in the wisdom of our day to day choices in life.
Another of my favorite comments that the instructor makes is "Just be where you're at cause you are already there". I know this may sound a bit "woo woo" for some of you, but I like the simplicity in this statement. What I hear is "You are already enough; there is no need to compare to others or strive to be more; just be where you already are and breathe". What a lovely sentiment to accept that we are living the life we are meant to live and that we can just be in that space without striving for anything in particular. There is no need for competition! There is enough for each of us to live in our own best expression.
Finding your Balance
As a Health Coach, I work with people to create their best health and life balance. I am a big believer in balance in all things for best results.
One of the instructions I hear from my Yoga guru is "You can't do the pose until you find your balance". In Yoga, many things are happening all at once, as is the case of life. Rarely are we afforded a time when we can focus on just one thing, but more often than not it is a balancing act of many things going on all at once.
To be successful in holding a yoga pose, one must first focus on getting their balance and then they can work on their form in the pose. I see this is a lovely metaphor for life. Once we figure out how to balance our work and our free time, our joy and our hurt, our creativity with our industry, we can then get clearer and more successful in each pursuit.
If we try to juggle all the facets of life without first having some sort of balance, or being anchored in a solid sense of ourselves, we can't expect to be successful at any one thing, let alone all that we are working on.
But, when we take the time to think through our goals, to breathe and relax in the knowing of what it is we want to achieve we can find success and joy.
Just as trying to hold poses in yoga without balance may cause us to fall; trying to create a full life without a sense of order and balance will cause a metaphoric fall. We can't expect to be able to achieve all there is to be had in life without first building a foundation of balance.
One building block for life balance in my opinion is to simply learn to breathe. Sounds simple enough, but many of us do not breathe properly.
My Yoga Instructor teaches to do the entire class with only closed mouth breathing. I must confess that it took me probably over a year of regular, consistent practice before I could perform the entire class with only mouth breathing. In the early days I would actually pant and be just exhausted and fall far from the mark in terms of completing a pose. I also found that the class didn't leave me refreshed as much as it left me tired and enervated.
But, since learning the mouth breathing and persevering until I could master it, I've gotten a much better result from my yoga workouts. Now I feel this deep connection to my body with my mind as I go through the poses and at the end of the workout I feel as though I can cope with anything that life has to throw my way.
Tying it all together
I do not want you to come away from my article feeling that I am saying you should all go out and start a Yoga practice of your own! I have come to love my own yogic practice and feel it has served me very well.
But, I believe in individuality and know that what is a wonderful source of exercise and life balance for me, might not work for somebody else.
What I do hope you take away from this though is that life is balance. Yoga teaches balance and through my practice of Yoga I have come to a better balance in my life.
But, one can create life balance without ever doing a single Yoga pose. I just want to help people recognize the value of a life lived in balance. It has made such a big difference in my personal life to work at having a balance in the many elements of life. You can look at your life like a wheel with spokes for all the components; spiritual, physical, work, sex, food, etc. I think it is helpful to make a chart of these items and see how you are doing in each area. Are you finding that you are very balanced between work and play but maybe you don't get enough exercise? Or maybe work is controlling too much of your life, leaving an imbalance in areas of spirituality or play?
You my friend have the power to create better balance! You can learn to breathe and focus and if there is an area that is lacking you can make efforts to put more energy there.
And, should you desire a regimen that can leave you feeling alive and awakened and also benefit your body with strength and flexibility I welcome you to explore Yoga. There are many styles and it can be done by almost any person at any phase in life.
I hope that you have learned something from me about life and balance. I wish you all a happy, balanced life.
Thanks, this information was really helpful. I love doing yoga, and one of the most important factors, I personally find, is music. I found a great youtube channel which produces all sorts of relaxation music and even yoga music. Here´s a link, in case you´re interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1GJbi2CR_U
:) have a great, relaxing day!!
Another masterpiece. My new mantra "just breathe". We all need to find balance in our lives and to breathe.
Thank you
This is a awesome post.

This website was very helpful! Thank you for posting. I liked the ability to look through the WebQuests to get an idea as to what other teachers are featuring. I was a little bit stuck, given I teach the primary level at finding a plethora of online resources for my class. However, the Internet is becoming SO very common today for children to use that my task was not as difficult.
It is really great to see what other teachers have done in the past with WebQuests. I am interested in doing more with my kids. Starting this Thursday we will be trying out the one I have created for our class!

Happy Monday MTG peeps,
Indeed a rather happy day as we now mark the first official day of Magic Origins previews on the mothersite and affiliated media outlets. Magic Origins will be the 17th and last Magic core set, to be released on 17th July 2015 and is to be strongly integrated with its digital counterpart Magic Duels: Origins. Magic Origins will be grouped as a two-set block with Dragons of Tarkir for the purposes of Standard rotation under the new regime.
With today's previews, we have the following cards along with a number of new ones gleaned from the Magic Origins Card Image Gallery which you will be glad to hear went up as well. Here's the run-down of some new (rare only) cards out today. We will ensure updates are provided as appropriate to this list.
Relic Hunter, 1W
Creature - Human Soldier, Rare
Fame 1 (Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, if this creature is not famous, put a +1/+1 counter on it becomes famous)
When Relic Hunter becomes famous, you may search your library for an Equipment card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle your library.
illus. Deruchenko Alexander # 29/272
Alhammaret, High Arbiter, 5UU
Legendary Creature - Sphinx, Rare
As Alhammaret, High Arbiter enters the battlefield, each opponent reveals his or her hand. You choose the name of a nonland card revealed this way.
Your opponent can't cast spells with the chosen name (as long as this creature is on the battlefield).
illus. Richard Wright # 43/272
Kothoped, Hoarder of Souls, 4BB
Legendary Creature - Demon, Flying
Whenever a permanent owned by another player is put into the graveyard from the battlefield,you draw one card and lose 1 life.
illus. Jakub Kasper # 104/272
Languish, 2BB
Sorcery, Rare
All creatures get -4/-4 until end of turn.
Life is such a fragile thing.
illus. Jeff Simpson # 105/272
Next up -
Another article up on the mothersite by WotC MTG rules guru Matt Tabak speaks onto the new mechanics for Magic Origins under the following general headings -
• DOUBLE-FACED PLANESWALKERS - With double-face cards (as we've previously seen in Innistrad Block), you will have two options when putting a double-faced card in your deck: You can play with opaque card sleeves, or you can use a checklist card, as shown here. Checklist cards are to be found randomly distributed within Magic Origins booster packs.
• RENOWN - The following templated reminder text is provided - 'Renown X - When this creature deals combat damage to a player, if it isn't renowned, put X +1/+1 counters on it and it becomes renowned.' Renown won't trigger if the creature deals combat damage to a Planeswalker. In the unlikely event that the creature deals combat damage to its controller (through a damage redirection effect), renown will trigger. A creature that's renowned stays renowned until it leaves the battlefield, even if it somehow loses all its +1/+1 counters.
• SPELL MASTERY - Templated reminder text consists of the preamble 'If there are two or more instant and/or sorcery cards in your graveyard', followed by a stated effect. Read each card with a spell mastery ability carefully to find out exactly how it works.
• MENACE - Menace is a formalised new keyword for an previously expressed ability templated along the lines of 'This creature can't be blocked except by two or more creatures.'
• PROWESS - This is a returning tech from Takir's Jeskai signature ability templated with this reminder text - 'Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, this creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn'. When prowess triggers, it goes on the stack on top of the spell that caused it to trigger, meaning it will resolve before that spell. Once prowess has triggered, it doesn't matter what happens to the noncreature spell. If that spell gets countered, prowess will still give the bonus to the creature.
• SCRY - Another familiar ability appearing in several blocks / sets that Magic: the Gathering players are quite likely to know well. Templated as such - 'Scry X. Look at the top X card(s) of your library. You may put that card on the bottom of your library.' Sometimes the card will have another effect that happens first. Other times you'll scry first. You always follow a card's instructions in order.
Lastly -
For your reference, here is the complete list of all the (official) new cardboard goodness as reflected on the mothersite's Magic Origins Card Image Gallery.
Akroan Jailer, Charging Griffin, Enshrouding Mist, Gideon, Battle-Forged, Grasp of the Hieromancer, Heavy Infantry, Hixus, Prison Warden, Knight of the Pilgrim's Road, Kytheon, Hero of Akros, Mighty Leap, Patron of the Valiant, Sentinel of the Eternal Watch, Valor in Akros, Yoked Ox

Catacomb Slug, Cruel Revival, Deadbridge Shaman, Eyeblight Assassin, Infernal Scarring, Kothophed, Soul Hoarder, Liliana, Defiant Necromancer, Liliana, Heretical Healer, Malakir Cullblade, Rabid Bloodsucker, Reave Soul, Shambling Ghoul, Weight of the Underworld

*Individual Results May Vary
Body Shapes and Body Contouring
How does my body shape affect my liposuction procedure?
Have your acquaintances, family members, or friends ever told you that you have, for instance, your "mother's hips" or "father's belly"? Even though heredity plays a major part in the distribution of fat in your body, there are many other factors to consider (e.g., race, gender, age, and so on). Fat, its distribution, and the way it affects your fitness are interconnected by one front: body shape.
After years of careful study, scientists have finally concluded that most people fall into three major body shapes. These are the android, the gynoid, and the ovoid body types. To be more specific, the following gives a more in-depth analysis of the three categories:
Android: The android or apple shape is commonly seen among men. This body shape distributes fat on a person's midsection, upper body (gynecomastia), or abdomen. At any rate, the apple shape body type is actually considered by experts to represent the most harmful form of fat distribution. In this type, the fat is mainly accumulated within the abdomen and around the vital organs. The fat deposits are thus deep and not accessible to removal by liposuction or skin excision.
Gynoid: The gynoid or pear shape is mostly associated with women. The fat tends to deposit mainly in the buttocks, upper thighs, or hip areas. This body shape is more common among females that are pre-menopausal.
Ovoid: The ovoid or oval shape is a unisex body type (that is, both women and men can display this body shape) wherein a generalized coverage of body fat is exhibited; from upper body to lower body, fat is equally distributed.
As there are many exceptions, specialists have questioned whether or not a precise and accurate fat distribution pattern for men and women actually exists.
