Gunmen on Monday in Bauchi State kidnapped Mohammed Abubakar, an in-law to the Bauchi Governor, Isa Yuguda.
Mr. Abubakar is also the former Chairman of Bauchi State Fertiliser Distribution Committee.
Narrating the kidnap incident in Bauchi on Monday, a close friend to the victim, Garba Dahiru, said Mr. Abubakar was kidnapped at about 5am on his way to the mosque to perform morning prayers.
"He along with his son and a son to his elder brother were heading to the mosque when some gunmen attacked and took him away in their car.
"When he raised alarm, his security man tried to come to his rescue but was shot. The security man died instantly."
Mr. Garba stated that the kidnappers were about six in number and that no contact had been established with them since the incident occurred.
A member of the state assembly representing Darazo/Ganjuwa constituency and senior brother to the kidnapped person, Umar Abubakar, also confirmed the incident.
"I am just coming and was yet to be briefed on what exactly happened. But I can confirm to you that my brother had been kidnapped," he said.
Bauchi State Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Ladan, also confirmed the incident saying that one person had been arrested and was helping the police with relevant information.

Because sometimes smaller is better, our Beckham backpack offers a more streamlined approach to shoulder slinging storage. Don't be fooled by the compact build, this baby has alotta muscle to go around. Sleek and sophisticated, Beckham has oodles of interior storage with a full 9″ zip interior pocket, snap hook and loop. On the outside, because let's face it, we always do look at what's outside first, Beckham's clean lines offer up an extremely convenient upper zip pocket, as well as a more conventional large pouch style zip pocket underneath. All leather ( of course ) with solid brass or nickel hardware, Beckham is built to take years of abuse….we know because we designed it specifically for our kids.

I'll be the first to admit it- my wreath talent is pretty much nonexistent. The general ideas are there, to be sure, but when they're done, they are just missing too much. So, I've faced the fact that wreaths and I are just not going to be BFFs. We barely know each other and that's that.
So, why do I keep trying?
Wreaths are just so cool, so neat, so simplistically homey. Who doesn't like a wreath?
A few packages of cute snowflakes from the dollar store called my name, with a blank grapevine wreath whispering at me from home. The idea for a Christmas wreath was born.
This is a simple project, and it didn't tax my tired brain so much that I gave up. It was Plain Jane from the start.
Adding some tiny snowflakes from a strand of garland to the center of the snowflakes was almost too easy. I cut off the silver strings and put them aside for my homemade tags.
When the glue was dry, I added more glitter to the tiny centers, this time a color more like freshly fallen frozen snow in the early morning sun.
After everything was dry, I placed the snowflakes around the wreath until they looked right. Out came the glue gun. One by one, the snowflakes got glued down. A small length of heavy cord is the hanger. Done!
I know fancy, and this isn't it, but it gets the job done.
And everything came from the dollar store!

Who Stole the Champion Goat From the Fair in Greeley?
I know that animals that are shown at fairs and win ribbons are worth more than just regular old farm animals, but that is usually in the case of pigs and cows. So why in the world would someone come to the Weld County Fair and rob the grand champion goat?
I mean how much better is he than the last place goat, really?
Anyways, true story. Someone has stolen the grand champion goat from the Weld County Fair... Well, either that or it decided to leave it's role at the fair on it's own.
Fair coordinators have contacted the Greeley Police and there's an ongoing investigation, and a search for the missing goat which is a red colored Boer breed with a white stripe around its upper midsection. It has Weld County tag number 3292 in its ear.
By the way, it was bought for $5,500 by MS Biotec. I'd say it better talk for that kind of money... Maybe it could tell us where it' been hiding!

(SEYMOUR) - On Thursday night a stray tire lead to a vehicle winding up on its top.
According to Indiana State Police Trooper Matt Holley, just after 6 p.m. 69-year-old Kathleen Peterson of Columbus was traveling north on I-65 in Jackson County when her 2014 Toyota Corolla struck a spare tire in the roadway which caused the car to flip over onto its top.
The car skidded down the interstate approximately 300 feet still on its top before coming to stop in the left lane. Peterson, who suffered cuts and bruises, had to be freed from the vehicle by Seymour firefighters and then was transported Schneck Medical Center in Seymour suffering from cuts and bruises.
According to witness statements, a black 4 X 4 pickup truck apparently lost its spare tire from below the bed and continued traveling northbound. The driver of the truck likely didn't realize he had lost the tire.
Anyone who may have information regarding the truck is urged to contact Trooper Holley at the ISP Versailles Post 812-689-5000.
Trooper Holley was assisted at the scene by Jackson County Sheriff's Department and Seymour Fire Department.

Many of us are born with small narrow lips. In addition, injuries and ageing can physically damage the lips. These result in vertical lip lines, reduced volume and wrinkled skin. Also, loss of fat and changes in the structure of the teeth can impact the mouth area. For most people, this can affect their self-confidence and even the quality of life. As a solution to this problem, many of our clients in Southport, the Gold Coast, opt for lip enhancements, lip rejuvenations and lip injections for more youthful looking lips.
At our cosmetic clinic in Southport on the Gold Coast, you will enjoy some of the best lip enhancement, lip rejuvenation and lip injection treatments as we offer a wide range of options to instantly improve the appearance of your lips. We are strongly committed to delivering natural looking results for all our clients in a professional and discreet manner.
Here in Southport, the Gold Coast, you will find the highest level of personal care in the professional but relaxing and friendly environment of London Cosmetic Clinic. Our team of registered nurses and health professionals are all highly experienced in the fields of lip enhancement, lip rejuvenation and lip injection treatments.
Our lip fillers treatments involve dermal filler injections into and around the lips. The procedure can take up to 45 minutes. During this time, a local anaesthetic cream will be applied to minimise discomfort. Dermal fillers which are usually gels are injected into the lips and around the mouth to improve the volume and shape. This also corrects poor skin texture and reduces fine lines around the lips.
To ensure the best results and to minimise any possible complications, follow the post-care instructions provided by your cosmetic practitioner. Rest assured we will work with you towards your desired goals.
These are significant medical procedures, and as such, they carry certain and significant risks. These will be discussed with you prior to any treatment. We also recommend you seek a second opinion.
Flexible Payment Plans are now available at the clinic to ease the pressure off financing your needs (excluding injectables). Please see our Finance Options for more information.

At Skills Consultants we have strong, established, relationships with a large number of organisations, both prime contractors and partner organisations with whom a prime will sub-contract provision to. These relationships have been formed through any number of engagement activities we offer and in doing so we have been able to determine business development opportunities available. We work with organisations large and small in a variety of sectors, some very niche. We pride ourselves on our reputation of trust, providing value for money and delivering results. At Skills Consultants we never lose sight of our purpose – promoting excellence in training regardless of whom we are working with or whom we represent.
Key features to primes
Benefits to primes
We have carried out extensive research about how primes and partners are currently introduced and the quality of services offered. We believe that some of the current brokerage models that are being offered to the sector at present are falling short of providing best value and support for both primes and partner organisations. As a result a negative reputation has been associated with brokerage models. Therefore we have developed our own FREE Partner Finder Service based upon the feedback we have obtained from our network. We have also developed our own independent due diligence process to provide both parties with a greater level of confidence before introductions are made and formal due diligence is carried out by the prime.

There is a series of about five of these videos post on the San Francisco Center for the Book website: http://www.sfcb.org/html/onceyoutube.html
Because they have a show there with the work of each of these artists and I believe the videos were created in conjunction with the show. I took the kids to see it and they really liked seeing the book mock ups along with the finished artwork. Brian Selznick didn't impress them that much however--"no color" my daughter said.

Brownie points for anyone who can tell me where the quote in my title came from. I'll let you hash that out in the comments and the Facebook page, but the premise is that if you can do this one hard thing, you can do another similar thing that's easier.
It's a premise that's used in many ways and for various things. In sports it would equal training much harder than the actual event requires. In the military, it's the old adage that the more you sweat in the training, the less you bleed in war. In the apocalypse it's a mix of all those. Train hard now. Prepare amply now. Seek opportunities now. Don't wait until the apocalypse and let that be the hardest thing you've ever done.
Alright, lecture done. Now it's time to hand out a few resources and websites for you.
PPSS Cut, Slash, and Bite Resistant Clothing available from BodyArmorUSA.com has just released a slash resistant combat shirt. This is being marketed among public safety folks. I saw it on an EMS newsletter that I receive. I haven't had the chance to check one out personally or inspect the testing data, but the verbiage sounds pretty cool. What I'm really curious about is how thick and heavy it is and how it feels to wear. The long sleeve version looks aesthetically pleasing and much more low key than wearing a Condor combat shirt out in public. Based on the photos, this one looks a lot like something someone would wear hiking or doing outdoorsy stuff. There's even a solid colored short sleeve version.
Aside from post-apocalyptic wear when you'll likely have it on all the time, I can see useful applications for it right now.
I just finished devouring A. American's Survivalist book series based on a recommendation by Seth at P5 Preparedness in Chattanooga TN. To save some money I could devote to preps, I checked the public library to see if they had them. Here's the answer I got in return…
Thank you for your request. Unfortunately, none of this author's books have been made available to our library vendors, and we are unable to fulfill your order. Thank you for your patience.
I don't know about you, but I gotta wonder if there's something ulterior going on here.
Lastly for today, here's a Dummies Guide cheat sheet for canning and preserving.
This message was written by Dr. David Powers and his team of preppers, scientists, and reliable conspiracy theory wackos. You can always find me at www.drdavidpowers.com. Thanks for reading!

Butt what, exactly, makes the Cowboys, Ronaldo, Nike or CAA so successful? What is it that's driving the impressive numbers on their balance sheets? It's the business relationships they have throughout the sports ecosystem.
Nike is able to sell $20 billion worth of shoes annually because it's directly associated with some of the biggest names in sports – Barcelona, LeBron James and the NFL, to name just a few.
And CAA has built its success upon the sports agency world's most star-studded roster of athletes, boasting a lineup of Eli Manning, Drew Brees, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Julio Jones and many, many more.
Those sorts of relationships are the very foundation of the sports business world. And though we've long detailed the end results – which teams are most valuable, which players are highest paid – until now nobody has ever done a comprehensive study of how all of those connections fit together to create wealth.
Introducing the FORBES SportsMoney Index, the definitive money ranking in sports. We've ranked 430 athletes, agencies, brands and teams, accounting for both their financial power as well as their influential relationships with others in the sports world. To create the SMI, we've combined all of FORBES' SportsMoney annual valuations lists (sports teams, brands, athletes, agencies) and proprietary financial data into a single ranking that reflects their monetary success and how their values affect one another. This is the first time that a cross-category ranking of sports business influence has ever been compiled. For the complete SMI visit www.forbes.com/sports-money-index.

I actually enjoy walking through crowds.
It's odd but I hate driving through traffic and I enjoy walking through crowds. I've been known to turn walking through crowds into a game of sorts. I seem to have fun trying to maneuver around people or trying to pass a slow moving pocket of people with grace. I treat it like a running back moving through a zone defense heading towards the end zone.
Trying to walk through crowds means at some point I will be walking against the grain of people. In order to get to my destination through the masses of people that stand in my way I will have to fight through, around, over and maybe even under people that don't understand why I'm not walking the way they are.
You know the looks you get when that happens right? Disgust, anger, frustration, rudeness & aggressive attacks. There are even those that'll intentionally try to block your progress.
Walking through life has a lot of roadblocks in life you'll encounter. It may be some severe situations or just a few subtle uncomfortable moments. Roadblocks, crowds and going agains the grain in life is not the easiest thing or a comfortable idea.
However it doesn't mean it isn't worth the final outcome!
Some people may choose to Give up & go around the crowd. Fine for you but walking hours, years or frustrating seasons out of an opportunity for God to use me or teach me isn't my idea of going through life.
Find a seam to walk through. Be diligent in the midst of traffic, no matter how much push back you'll be facing. Wait for that one moment where you see "daylight" that little crack or seam in the crowd that God opens to continue to pursue toward a life of maturity in Christ.
Be patient & diligent, the experience of going against the grain is worth it!

He did a tour of duty in Korea, was deployed to Phalsbough, France during the Berlin Crisis, and New Mexico during the Pueblo Incident. Bill also worked for his father at the Gregory Insurance Agency, retiring there as president. He began flying for Mohawk Airlines in 1967 and retired from US Airways as Captain in 1993.
Bill had a passion for giving back to the Skaneateles community. He volunteered as a fireman, served as a member and president of the Junior Chamber of Commerce and served as president for the Skaneateles Library. He was also an avid supporter of the Skaneateles Community Center.
Upon retirement from the airlines, he spent numerous hours building a replica of a 1924 Hackercraft. It won many awards locally and internationally at antique and classic boat shows. He named his boat "My La$t Desire", which has touched three generations of Gregory's. It is still being enjoyed to this day by his family. He also enjoyed remote control sailboat racing, downhill snow skiing and was an avid Syracuse University Big Orange fan.
Bill is survived by his wife, Bayne; his brothers, Jack and his wife Angie, and Rob; his children and their spouses, Bill and Sharon Gregory, Heather and Jim Bodwell, and Scott and Pam Gregory; five grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
His love and generosity inspired and touched many lives and he will be greatly missed.

New to Diabetes
I'm completely new to being a type 2 diabetic. My Dr told me of this news a month ago. I've just had my 2nd set of blood work done and waiting on test to see if I need any meds. I've always been bad about drinking sodas and not eating healthy. I've but gave up sodas this past month and now drinking lots of water. My Dr has told me to keep each meal at/about 60g of carbs per meal. I'm doing a decent job of doing this. I have to take my blood sugar levels 4 times a day which I'm just at a loss of what the different numbers mean. Any advice at this point for a new member of the type 2 family? Any advice will be greatly accepted as all this is still very new to me.
9 replies
Ahhh, the numbers. We seem to live by them. What are the times he wants you to test?
Here are some suggestions, but you will want to sit with your doctor and see what he wants your goals to be.
Fasting (first thing in the morning before eating) 70-110
Post meal (usually 2 hours after you started to eat) 100-140
The goal is to keep a 40 point or less rise after you eat. So if your numbers are higher to start, you will tend to have a higher after meal number. So to try to prevent that, you may want to eat less carbs or add some good lean protein to your meal or fiber.
Since you are so new, you may have higher numbers than these. Don't freak out, just know you have some work to do like so many of us. Exercise, drinking water and good food choices will help you reduce your overall numbers. It takes time and practice.
*try to get in 30 minutes of exercise. Never stop learning, the more you know the better you can take care of yourself.
Best advice I can think of would be to keep a food diary along with your testing log. It really helped me figure out what was really spiking me and what was helping me. Don't drink too much water, you can flush your system out. My doc said no more than 6 glasses, try making unsweetened tea at home for something else to drink. Not all teas have the same flavor, so try out different types. When you go back into the doc ask the doc for some goal ranges for the morning, before/after meals and bedtime. If you don't feel like your getting the answers you need then go to an endo or transfer to a new doc. Your doc should want to answer your eight million questions and work with you, not against you. I like Diabetic Living for recipes and tips on different things. Try to get in at least 3
First, just know that you will be ok. If you have a doctor that doesn't provide you with enough information, find another one! Perhaps a nutritionist may help. The most important number is the morning number. If you take your BS too soon after you eat, it will not be accurate. I believe the healthiest number of carb intake, especially being newly diagnosed, should be no more than 35gs. Water is an important part too. You can switch from white bread to whole wheat or multi grain, try to stay away from pasta (this turns to sugar) and you have to get in the habit of reading labels. I love past, so the one that I make has a lower glycemic level. The brand is Dreamfields.
I suspect that for most of us when we're initially diagnosed, it's a scary confusing ride, and most importantly, an amazing learning experience! Keep your eyes open, your ears listening, and fasten your seat belt. You'll be where you are aiming to be, before you know it.
Ty all for your wonderful words. It's just all a bit daunting to take in at first. I've only known for a month now I'm diabetic but I've already endured a lot of changes. I'm sure in the long run I'll be ok with all this. Lol at least I hope so
Keep it up girl! You can do it. I too had to quit drinking pop/soda. I have now got accustomed to drinking diet sofa. It's tasting great now to me lol.
I sometimes forget and eat too many carbs I hope I don't get used to that habbit. Wishing you the best!
First off, Lady Cheryl… Welcome !!!
You made the right choice to come to a community with caring, friendly and knowledgeable people. My advice to you is to get to know the basics. Read up on your condition as there are many great articles right here on "DC". Make friends, follow posts by other members and feel free to ask away! We all have been there and just know that you are not alone. Good Luck ! :)

Whitney Houston's funeral holds this Saturday
We have received confirmed reports from her representatives that Whitney Houston has died at age 48. Houston was born on August 9, 1963 in Newark, New Jersey.
Her body was found in the bathtub of her room at the Beverly Hilton on Saturday afternoon just hours before she was scheduled to attend a party for the Grammy Awards. The host of that party was Clive Davis who first signed Houston in 1983 after seeing her perform in a nightclub. "Whitney was a beautiful person and she had a talent beyond compare," Davis said.
Whitney, who was 48, died of an alleged combination of Xanax with other prescriptions and alcohol. The L.A. County Coroner informed the family that there was not enough water in her lungs to point to drowning, but rather she was likely already dead from the mixture by the time she became submerged in bathwater. Whitney Houston partied heavily in the hours leading up to her death
The coroner's office have now released the 48-year-old's body to her family. Her funeral service will take place on Saturday at the New Hope Baptist church in Newark, New Jersey, where she sang as a child, according to Sky News.
Houston won six Grammy awards, two Emmys, 30 Billboard Music Awards and 22 American Music Awards among others over the years.

I have made a few contacts in the hobby sized laser cutting and CNC field. I may try to cut some body kits out just for fun, but to start I get one free cut session, to test out services, so I decided to draw this up to what it will turn out like. I initially drew one to scale but I was told that the setup time is the same and cutting time is minimal, so fill my sheet of styrene and maximize space
Can you guess what it is? Or what it will be for? I only have 5 extras, I may give a couple away if I actually see any builds on HERE!!! But that is highly unlikely

Kathy Griffin's latest New Year's Eve stunt has once again landed in her hot water with TV watchdogs, but it doesn't look like she cares too much.
Asked by David Letterman about it on The Late Show Wednesday night, the comedian said she has no regrets about trying to kiss coanchor Anderson Cooper's nether region during their CNN telecast in Times Square.
"If you think this is the part where I'm going to apologize…you are sorely mistaken," she said. "I tried, ladies and gays, I tried. For you."

A Glimpse of What We Might Be, Our Best Selves
The below excerpt was taken from McEwan's Saturday which I wrote about earlier this week in more detail. His passage that articulates the power of those rare moments in music where you are taken to another dimension, hoping never to be waken, was so powerful that I have to repeat it here. It has been on my mind all week.
"He walks into the middle of the dark auditorium, towards the great engine of sound. He lets it engulf him. There are these rare moments when musicians together touch something sweeter than they've ever found before in rehearsals or performance, beyond the merely collaborative and technically proficient, when their expression becomes as easy and graceful as friendship or love. This is when they give us a glimpse of what we might be, of our best selves, and of an impossible world in which you give everything you have to others, but lose nothing of yourself.
Out in the real world, there exist detailed plans, visionary projects for peaceable realms, all conflicts resolved, happiness for everyone, for ever -- mirages for the workers' paradise, the ideal Islamic state. But only in music, and only on rare occasions, does the curtain actually lift on this dream of community, and it's tantalisingly conjured, before fading away with the last notes."

To hear some fundraisers and consultants talk, you'd think asking donors to give was a vile and rude act. Some in our industry seem to equate a direct mail fundraising appeal with a slap in the face by a very ripe fish: painful, odoriferous, and just plain uncalled for.
It's just not true. Except in one way: It's self-fulfilling. Because if you believe fundraising hurts donors, I can almost guarantee you're doing fundraising in a harmful way.
For most donors, fundraising is the main way they experience an organization they support. To say they love you but hate your communications is to attribute them with a nearly clinical level of cognitive dissonance!
How much better it would be to work from a higher and more beautiful set of assumptions:
Communicating with donors is good.
Donors love to hear from us.
Every touch can and should be a positive, relationship-building experienceeven when it doesn't generate a gift.
You'll have a much more satisfying life and do more life-affirming and effective fundraising if you believe these things rather than the self-destructive assumption that fundraising is a necessary evil.
Of course you don't want to send irrelevant, money-wasting mail to people who aren't interested and unlikely to give. That's what smart segmentation is about. But in your heart, you need to believe that asking is good. Otherwise, you are on a path to anti-donor communications and fundraising failure. And one heck of a miserable career in fundraising.
If you struggle with that dark sense that asking is shameful, wrong, or hurts donors, repeat this little catechism every day until your attitude improves:
Donors donate.
Donors love to donate.
Giving feels good.
Giving is good.
Creating opportunities for giving is a great service to humanity.
When you feel these truths in your heart, you are a fundraiser.
Jeff Brooks is creative director at Merkle|Domain, a direct-response agency serving the nonprofit world. He blogs at the Donor Power Blog.

We've been saying it for a long time in agriculture; we need to be proactive in our efforts to educate the consumer about domestic food production and the farmers and ranchers who grow it rather than being reactive to the latest inaccurate accusations from an anti-ag group. There's no better way to do this than to tell our story one person at a time and let consumers get to know us; let them meet a real farmer or rancher. But we've also talked about how great it would be to tell our story on a bigger stage to a bigger audience. With limited resources and opportunities, it hasn't happened yet; however, that is about to change.
I truly believe that the opportunity we have been looking for has just landed in our lap. Even more amazing than that is it's coming from someone with no ties to agriculture at all. Yet he realizes the important job that farmers and ranchers have and wants to help tell the story of the 21st century agriculturalist. His name is Barney Visser and he owns the Furniture Row chain of furniture stores. Like most farmers and ranchers, Visser is a self-made man and a great example of what you can achieve with hard work. He started with a single store in Denver selling an invention of his called the bean bag chair. That single store turned into the fastest growing furniture chain today which includes brands like Denver Mattress and Oak Express.

Most soda product signs that are listed as vintage date between 50 and 70 years or older, as stated by Collector's Weekly. Vintage Coca-Cola signs were often created in the 1930s, but ones that were created in the 1950s are still considered vintage and worth money.
The most commonly found vintage soda signs are made of porcelain enamel coated with glass of various colors to give the sign a multi-toned look, fused on an iron base. These signs were found in stores including general stores and soda fountains. A sign such as this has more value based on the condition.

A Damascus military airport, located on the western outskirts of the city, has been hit by a series of explosions overnight, Syrian state TV reported.
State news agency SANA, which is close to the regime, reported the Mazzeh airport had been bombed and said ambulances were rushing to the scene.
An AFP correspondent also heard several explosions and saw a large fire inside the military airport, with smoke visible across the capital.
Syrian sources have reported several Israeli air strikes on Syrian territory in the course of the civil war, including in the Mazzeh area.
The blasts come only hours after a suicide bomber killed at least eight people in a high-security district of Damascus on Thursday, the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
"Eight people died when a suicide bomber targeted Kafr Sousa" in the southwest of the capital, the observatory said.
"At least four of them were soldiers, including a colonel," Rami Abdel Rahman, Observatory director said.
Part of Kafr Sousa is a restricted zone that is home to ministers, senior security officials and intelligence headquarters, but the explosion took place elsewhere in the district.
Such attacks are rare in Damascus, a stronghold of the regime of President Bashar al-Assad which has been fighting rebels in Syria for nearly six years.

Album Rating: 2.5Discography (under the 'Naughty By Nature' name anyway) finally complete!This Message Edited On 11.22.08
awesome review. shame i havent caught the rest of these reviews as i've been heavily distracted over the past few days with my new ps3 lol.
doesnt sound like i'll be bothering to pick this up.
Album Rating: 2.5Thanks Kane. Yeah, video gaming will do that to you on occasions. You wouldn't happen to be guitar hero'ing or Rock Band'ing would you...???
As for NBN, if you are at all interested in giving them a listen, this most recent album would probably NOT be the best place to start.
i dont know why you review shitty band's discographies but you're a good reviewer anyways.
also why do you end questions like this...??? It looks dumb when you do it every time.
lol Nice way to ask what's anready been discussed many-a-times over.
maybe he should stop then i dunno
The ...? is because he believes it encourages the person to answer the question. In other words, he feels that he is more likely to attain a answer using '...?' as opposed to just '?'.
On him reviewing discogs; Nothing wrong with it. A bit on the bleh side, but anything that's additive to the site in a good way is just that - good.
Album Rating: 2.5If all questions could be directed through taylormemer from now on, that would save me a lot of time. Haha. Well answered on both counts Taylor. I suppose I should cut down the '...???'
As for the discog thing, when I think it is a little too much, I try to break them up into separate sections as I did with Naughty By Nature over the span of a couple of months. And yeah, I don't think I would have even done these guys if they had been in the Sputnik database in the first place.
Robin, to answer your question; "It depends".
Thanks Kane. Yeah, video gaming will do that to you on occasions. You wouldn't happen to be guitar hero'ing or Rock Band'ing would you...???
Album Rating: 2.5Darn... Wanted to know if you had broken any drums.
we can pretend i did if you like
Album Rating: 2.5Yeah, let's do that Tommy Lee.
$hit, can't believe you have already well and truly crossed the 1,000 comments mark in the space of a little over 3 months... Watch out Chan!
please take my advice and do discography requests
Can you please do Slim Dusty's discography next?
thats right davey, im going for chans head.
ive actually been using the site since like june? idk. but my old profiles got banned ahahaha.
Album Rating: 2.5Robin, the post after yours by taylormemer is exactly why I don't take requests! Haha. I'm sure there would also be requests for The Wiggles, some death metal band and The Spice Girls.
You're quite welcome to request if you like, but chances are that if I'm not planning to do a certain artist's discog some time in the future, then I probably won't do it.
You... Banned... Kane! Never... I'm shocked.
I suggest Portishead Davey ;)
and lol, 'fraid so matey. im that kinda guy baha
Album Rating: 2.5That's 2 discography requests rejected!
badly drawn boy please

Almost entirely a personal reflection post, and may cause you want to scream "QQ MOAR why don't you?" by the time you finish. Don't say I didn't warn you.
The last few years have been rocky and fraught with peril, but somehow my husband and I have survived broken limbs, housing a mother (in-law), and squeaking out those last few pages of a master's thesis. As graduation rolled around, I started applying for work, but not having much luck, until a former professor offered my a summer job to ease the summer by… which was about the rate of pay I was looking for AND within those professional skill sets that I had set aside a few years ago as I marched through the end of a bachelor's and a master's degree.
So while my personal life is no longer skating on thin ice, I noticed rather sadly that my blog has been rather quiet, battened down and sadly neglected. My raiding guild has quietly disbanded to hopefully be somewhat reassembled by the time the expansion comes out. While this has reduced my WoW time to zilch, I gleefully stepped into Diablo 3, decided to give AION the once over, and have been rediscovering the massive leap of graphical accomplishments in the last number of years as I rebooted the Quest for Glory series.
Over the last week, however, I've found myself dulled by a certain apathy towards gaming in general. Some of it is, I'm sure, starting a new job that requires a couple hours of commuting and an actual unbroken day as opposed to a student's life of nothing much followed by manic days of writing. I find myself coming home, booting up the PC and looking at my lovely game icons only to check my feedreader, agonize over what game I want to play, followed by a brief stint with the mindless joy of Puzzle Quest or something similar.
There's too many variables locked up for me with my usual haunts that make them seem unwelcoming at present. As much as I'm looking forward to the new expansion, I find myself looking at all the tasks that are currently available to me–level my new death knight, earn some achievements, collect some pets–and knowing that I'm going to be flying solo throughout, that WoW has lost it's glittery charm.
Diablo 3 lost some of its allure as I've found that I absolutely suck at time management within the game. Some maps/checkpoints whiz by in quick succession, while others seem to be agonizingly separated. While I acknowledge that my own need to reveal the entire map EVERY TIME may have led to my own annoyance, after spending 2 entire days logging into the same darkly lit oasis time after time because I had to take a break for hubby/mom time, dinner activities, and bedtime have made me reluctant to plunge into the game unless I KNOW I have a block of time available to me.
AION, with it's surprisingly quiet charm for the early leveler, has me at a bit of a loss currently as I have recently reach L10, and the wonders of crafting have so side-tracked me to the point that I am a little lost on the actual story arcs that led me to my ascension. Likewise, every time I go to start LoTRO I notice the little update tool pinging merrily away and end up playing something else.
The thing I find funny, that actually gives me hope that my blog won't end up washed on the shores of the retired bloggers is that I am still enjoying my daily gaming reads. I'm still excited by the news of games on the move, expansions on the horizon, and releases yet to be made. But, in all honesty, I have to admit that I'm not someone who has the will to blog when I'm not actively gaming myself. I'm too much of a travel writer to find inspiration in my thoughts about gaming without the strong push from the actual an experience.
As that's the case, I expect that my summer writing will be a rather drab and drivel affair. I find it ironic that after a month of encouraging new bloggers to write, I'm doing quite the opposite; however, that's just how the wind blows from time to time. I have had an offer for a guest post sometime in the near future, and as always, I welcome other bloggers (or readers with an idea!) to share my space and take their thoughts public.
Until inspiration strikes again ❤

Follow Through Friday - a Travel Week
Well look at that, only 3 weeks in and already fell half a week behind on blogging. Better late than never I suppose.
I started off my 4 day weekend by going to the HitFit Gym on Friday for the circuit training and then ran a Virtual 5k (#OrlandoUnited5k) on Saturday with a friend from MRTT. We actually ended up going more than a 5k since we got caught up chatting and forgot to turn around at the half way point. We ran into some other MRTT ladies who were coming back from a much longer run and they asked us how far we were going and we told them and they were like um, well then shouldn't you have turned around by now and that's when we realized we went too far. We ended up running back with them so it was nice to have additional company.
I ended up needing to go to Chicago (well the suburbs) for work that week and took advantage of the nicer weather while there. I got in two nice runs on two different trails. I loved how there were so many to choose from. On Wednesday, I ran a 5k on the Busse Forest Elk Bicycle Trail, which was a really nice trail in Arlington Heights. I loved how shaded it was, made it feel 10 degrees cooler than it was. The humidity was also much less than it is in Florida which makes a dramatic difference.
The next day I found a trail that went in a nice loop around a the Skokie Lagoon. I always prefer to run in a circle vs. out and back so this one intrigued me. I was a little disappointed with this trail though as the first 1.5 miles were next to a very noisy highway and then I assumed you'd be running next to the water since the trail went around the lagoon but it was pretty overgrown and you could only see the water in a few spots. I mean it was still nice and shaded, I just was envisioning something else. It also had quite a few "hills" that I wasn't expecting since the trail on Tuesday was pretty flat. I ended up walking a lot more than I normally do because of the hills and I was super thirsty (probably because I didn't drink enough water earlier in the day and it was pretty hot out). Over all though my exercise was great this week. And since I didn't get in my Walkstation walks this week since I was out of the office I did get in a nice walk one morning on the treadmill at the hotel.
I wasn't great with my eating this week though, so I was pleasantly surprised to see a drop in weight on Saturday morning. (I got home Friday afternoon so waited until Saturday to weigh in). I indulged in both the 3rd and 4th as we celebrated the 4th of July holiday and then ate out every meal the rest of the week since I was on the road and even got ice cream one night.
G was up in Chicago for work as well so we were able to meet up for dinner and went out to two nice dinners together (one to celebrate his birthday which also included some drinks).
And I had unfortunately to drop out of the StepBet I was so excited about last week because my Fitbit decided to die. Everyone says they usually only last about a year before they die (you know, right after their warranty runs out) and I've had mine almost 2 years so I knew it was coming. Luckily,they issued me a refund since the game was still in the practice week so I didn't lose my money at least. I'm pretty bummed about it though because I thought the challenge was going to be hard and well, challenging! And now I have to spend money replacing my Fitbit, so that sucks. I think I'm going to switch to Garmin since they tend to be more reliable.
This week we are heading to Destin from Tuesday through Sunday for our annual cousins trip / vacation which means lots of eating and drinking. I also won't have access to a treadmill and it's supposed to be super hot so getting any runs in will be tough but I did bring my running gear in hopes that I manage to log a few miles. We'll see how that goes!

Follow Through Friday - Week 2
Sunday afternoon, I was tempted to just relax with G and the girls but I decided to meal prep for the week too so that has helped me be good all week at work and at night for dinner. I did have some treats on Wednesday after I gave blood since they encouraged sugar intake, I definitely probably went a little over board (2 cookies and a Danish) and had to cancel my personal training session for that evening since it's not recommended to work out right after giving blood. On Thursday, I wasn't very good either though despite running in the morning. We had a birthday at work with some treats which I indulged in and then a going away happy hour for our boss that evening in which I had a few craft beers which wouldn't have been so bad if I didn't come home and eat tater tots and wings for dinner. So it shouldn't be a surprise to me that I didn't lose this week, but I didn't really gain either so I guess that's not as bad as it could have been.
Exercise wasn't that great for me either. I was able to get on the walk station a lot at work too which always makes me happy. I got a relatively slow treadmill run in on Tuesday and then an even slower morning run on Thursday. Thursday's run sucked. I don't know if it was the 90% humidity (only 75 degrees at 6am), the fact I gave blood the day before, or that I hadn't eaten breakfast yet, but my body just couldn't handle it. My legs felt great, but the rest of me kept telling me to stop, so I just did a 2.5 loop around the neighborhood and came home. I also found a new type of challenge would just help me get back into my running though, its call the StepBet (same company that hosts those DietBets I'm obsessed with). It's somewhat similar to Diet Bet in the sense that as long as YOU hit YOUR goal, then you split the pot with everyone else who hit their goals as well. So, you wager money (looks like all the challenges are the same with a $40 buy in) that you'll hit certain step goals each week, for 6 weeks (well really 5 weeks since the 1st week is practice). The goals are calculated by StepBet (I'm guessing based on your Fitbit – or other tracking device - history) and can't be changed and you have to hit your active goal 4 times per week and your stretch goal 2 times per week and then have one "free" day without any set goal. I was actually surprised to see how high my goals were (especially since this past month I've been slacking on my running which contributes to a lot of steps in my history), which is good since it's will actually be a REAL challenge to reach them each week. My Active Goal (4x/week) is 13,664 steps and my Stretch Goal (2x/week) is 17,538, which if I hit all of those and did NOTHING on my "free day" (which obviously I'd do more than nothing) I'd have to hit 89,732 and lately my weekly average has been closer to 80-85k steps so this will be challenging.

An ordinary evening is interrupted by one of the local inns being firebombed. Several people demonstrate heroism in organizing a fight against the fires, rescuing people trapped in the burning building, and stopping thugs from taking advantage of the commotion and robbing the well-known local merchant, Oramon next door.
4 of them, 3 humans by the names of Kuma, Kiya, Knox, and a halfling named Frosk, track down the culprit to a shady part of town, discovering it to be the known terrorist Geldok "One-eye" Blaise. He ambushes them in a shady inn with hired mercenaries, shouting about freedom and firing explosive arrows. Upon being injured, Geldok flees into an inn room and locks the door, only to flee through a secret passage while the newly formed party is fighting off the hired thugs.
The party finishes off the thugs and interrogates the violent bartender, who doesn't seem to know much about Geldok but tells them about a tunnel underneath a nearby house that exits town. As several Templar approach the scene a few minutes later, the group hides in the alleyways.

A new serum eradicates the illness
An old man rises from his wheelchair
When suffering unknown attacks the painless
And common animals are becoming rare
As water spins in circles twice
Spiders, snakes and the little mice
Get twisted around and tumble down
When Nature calls we all shall drown
If the earth is dying of a growing thirst
Rain shall fall on dried out soil
And every kind of bud shall burst
A sough of relief to insects - turmoil
As water spins in circles twice
Spiders, snakes and the little mice
Get twisted around and tumble down
When Nature calls we all shall drown
A realization of the power of Nature, a paganistic perception of natute when humans have no technological power and materialistic perceptions of nature. If we keep on living under such perceptions probably we won't reach to this point of selfdestruction. A personification of nature as powerfull Mother Gaia was an effective factor of selfrestriction to the human power and arrogance in the past. On the contrary, a disenchanted and reduced to material perception of nature has led to the predatory and non sustainable exploitation that thrreatens us all with pollution and climate changing. Reason was not always the better consultant per se!

Great Expectations
Throughout the book there are examples of pip as an adult narrator looking back. Why do you think Dicken's included the adult's perspective, instead of just the child's?
This is the last question. I swear.
This is the last question. I swear.
Pip, as we all do, grows up and changes as a person. His perspective on becoming a gentleman as well as on the people in his life matures and changes. This way we can see our protagonist grow with the story.

The first bank account I set up as an adult growing up in Eagle Rock was at the Security Pacific Bank on the corner of Eagle Rock and Colorado. The building was nothing special, it was just the first place I dealt with money on my own, and it was the first place I used an ATM. Eventually the bank left, and Blockbuster moved in. They painted the entire building white making it, in my opinion, even uglier! Now Blockbuster has left. What is next for this very visible corner?
Since I love researching old photos, I found the original, (much more interesting) Bank building. This is a close-up from a photograph from 1955:

GTA V update pushed out, will fix 'game progress loss' in GTA Online
Grand Theft Auto V is breaking all sorts of records, but it's also breaking gamers' hearts by being problematic in GTA Online unfortunately. But it looks like those days could be behind Rockstar, with the latest patch hopefully fixing GTA Online's various issues.
A new update is being pushed out to GTA V that will address issues related to "game progress loss in GTA Online" and other various technical issues. The update is available for the PS3 version right now, with a title update being pushed onto the Xbox 360 version of the game tomorrow "at the latest" according to Rockstar.
The update should fix the issues we reported on a few days ago now, but Rockstar says with the exception of "some specific instances where players purchase a vehicle and the save does not occur due to a cloud save failure." A separate patch will be pushed out to fix those issues. The patch hitting GTA V will fix the following issues:
- Fixes multiple issues causing character deletion or other loss of progress
- Fixes issues causing infinite loading, infinite sky cams, and missing interface options between jobs
- Fixes an issue causing the "replay" option to be locked out on certain jobs
- Fixes an issue where a player would become stuck in the mod garage when respraying a Sanchez motor bike
- Fixes an issue where the Player became stuck inside Los Santos Customs during Online tutorial flow.
- Fixes an issue causing the loss of guns and ammo
- Fixes issues causing GTA races ending early because of players spawning too far ahead
- Fixes issues in Last Team Standing where sessions would not progress past the lobby
- Fixes issues with network errors when joining Last Team Standing using Quick Job
- Added clarifications around when a player is using a temporary character in GTA Online during Rockstar Cloud server outages
- Adjusts the monetary penalty for being killed in a One on One match

David Matless argues that landscape has been the site where English visions of the past, present and future have met in debates over questions of national identity, disputes over history and modernity, and ideals of citizenship and the body. Landscape and Englishness is extensively illustrated and draws on a wide range of material - topographical guides, health manuals, paintings, poetry, architectural polemic, photography, nature guides and novels. The author first examines the inter-war period, showing how a vision of Englishness and landscape as both modern and traditional, urban and rural, progressive and preservationist, took shape around debates over building in the countryside, the replanning of cities, and the cultures of leisure and citizenship. He concludes by tracing out the story of landscape and Englishness down to the present day, showing how the familiar terms of debate regarding landscape and heritage are a product of the immediate post-war era, and asking how current arguments over care for the environment or expressions of the nation resonate with earlier histories and geographies.
