The LG G Pro 2 rocks a 13 megapixel camera with 4K video capture and a 120fps slow-motion recording option. The Sony Xperia Z2 comes with an insane 20.7 megapixel camera able to capture 4K video at the ludicrously high 3840 x 2160 resolution. The Huawei Ascend G6 has an interesting 5 megapixel wide-angle front-facing camera, paired with an 8 megapixel rear camera. Galaxy S phones have always had great cameras since the Galaxy SII blew everyone away. Samsung's continuing to lead here with a 16-megapixel sensor in the Galaxy S5. The Galaxy S5 also lets you focus your images after you have taken them.

It's looking like this summer is going to be a very hot and humid one, which is not unusual for New England, but the continued humidity up in the Mount Washington Valley is very unusual until just the last few years, and this year it has been relentless. (anyone who still does not believe in global warming is in denial, just sayin')
Yesterday Ken and I took a trek down to Pine Point Beach in Scarborough Maine for some relief and some sun. It's a beach that I have never been to, but my daughters have and they raved about it. It's only a short hour and 15 minutes away which was even more attractive. Parking is ten dollars and well worth it as they have clean bathrooms and a little snack shack.
After spending a week on the Cape last year, Ken and I decided that once the girls were finished with college, we were going to move a lot closer to the ocean...hopefully in Mashpee. I figure if the humidity is going to be a common occurrence up here in the Mountains, then we may as well go closer to the ocean that I love, where a sea breeze frequently keeps it a bit cooler.
Of course visiting a beach would not be complete without a picture of my favorite birds. Funny little scavengers..LOL. We are going to make a weekly trip to the beach this summer. Ken has become more tolerant of visiting the beach now that I bought an umbrella to give him some shade to read and do crossword puzzles. Who knew something so small could get him to go...I should have bought one years ago!
How was your weekend?

Puckett's in Franklin, and Pinewood Social in Nashville. Great food, live music, and a bowling alley in Pinewood gave us a taste of the night life in the country music capital of the world. We ventured over Broadway on Friday night, and it was a little too busy for these farm girls, so we headed back to the hotel for some R&R.
Another highlight of our trip was a visit to Draper James (Reese Witherspoon's boutique at 12th Avenue South). This was on our to-do list while visiting the Nashville area. It was right up these southern girl's alley when we walked through the door and they said to us, "would you like a glass of sweet tea." If you are ever in the Nashville area, we highly recommend a visit to this boutique.
Another thing on our to-do list was to visit the art gallery of DeAnn Art. We were hoping to meet her in person, but unfortunately, she wasn't there that day. We did, however, get to see the area she paints in, and view many of her beautiful pieces.
We had a wonderful time, and look forward to visiting again sometime in the near future.

ORANGE — On a challenging three-mile Irvine Regional Park course with two tough hills at the Orange County Cross Country Championships, it wasn't so much the team results among local runners as much as the individual battles.
Newport Harbor High junior Paige Tennison won the battle against herself. Last year, she finished the course in 18 minutes, 45 seconds.
This year, she showed a remarkable improvement, finishing in 16:59 to win the girls' sweepstakes title Saturday.
Tennison also came back strong after finishing fifth at the Clovis Invitational near Fresno last weekend, where she fell down twice, got bloodied and was trampled by a few runners.
At the O.C. Championships, she was strong throughout.
"The first hill was the toughest," Tennison said. "I didn't know when it was going to end. I'm excited I won."
Corona del Mar senior Ashlee Powers was also in the girls' sweepstakes race. She finished 15th (18:03). CdM was 10th with 265 points, Newport Harbor was 11th (283). Trabuco Hills won the team title (105). Kristen Rivera (27th, 18:17) also earned a medal.


text: 'Better Call Saul,' the prequel, spin-off of 'Breaking Bad,' is back for season two. Last year, when Terry Gross spoke to co-creator Peter Gould (who also wrote for Breaking Bad), he said that it was a writers' room joke that if something didn't fit on 'Breaking Bad' it would go on the "Saul Goodman show." Actor Jonathan Banks joins the conversation. Also, Terry Gross spoke to Bob Odenkirk in 2013 about playing Saul, the sleazy, fast-talking lawyer.

Open wireless networks are rapidly becoming an important part of urban culture as modern digital nomads increasingly eschew offices in favor of coffee shops. With the rise in popularity of WiFi-enabled mobile computing devices and publicly accessible access points, a new kind of WiFi security threat is beginning to emerge. Security researchers are beginning to note increasing instances of so-called "evil twin" attacks, in which a malicious user sets up an open WiFi network and monitors traffic in order to intercept private data.
Security expert Phil Cracknell, president of the UK's Information Systems Security Association, claims that evil twin attacks are easier to perpetrate than conventional phishing schemes. Discussing WiFi security with InfoWorld, Cracknell points out that identity thieves can set up rogue WiFi access points designed to capture private user information using little more than a laptop with a USB WiFi adapter and some special software. According to Cracknell, these schemes can be difficult to trace, and allow culprits to "harvest some incredible information in a short span of time."
How easy is it to set up software that can intercept packets? A few years ago, we wrote about Pcap, a packet sniffing programming library originally devised by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory for use with their tcpdump utility. With Ruby bindings for libpcap, any programmer can trivially write highly sophisticated programs capable of extracting and logging specific kinds of information that are traveling across a network. In that article, we demonstrated the ease with which a developer can create a specialized program that extracts and displays messages from instant messaging conversations.
Generic packet filtering can be done with only a few lines of code, and additional filtering and manipulation is trivially easy. There are also a wide variety of free tools and utilities like Ethereal and Ngrep that can be used for packet interception and analysis. The following is an extremely simple example that displays packets:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require "pcaplet"
for packet in Pcaplet.new("-s 1500 -i eth1")
# Custom filtering, logging, and analysis can be done here
puts packet.tcp_data
How can users protect themselves from this kind of malicious data interception? Corporate users can protect themselves by using virtual private networks, but the rest of us will have to rely on common sense. Approach free hotspots with a bit of caution. Better yet, use SSH to connect through your home computers.

Product Stats and Assessment
In answering this question we use statistics.

Instead, we use the stats provided by the payment provider that handles the card payments for this product. (See the about page for further info on exactly how we use the stats). We use the stats to produce two quality indicators: buyer frenzy and buyer satisfaction.
Our Buyer Satisfaction IndicatorOur buyer satisfaction rating for this product is 93.93/100 which is very high, and this means the satisfaction levels are high amongst people who bought this product.
The Buyer Frenzy IndicatorBuyer Frenzy is an indication of how much interest there in a product – a little like a product's 'sales rank'. A high frenzy rating means that customers are falling over themselves to get to a product, buying it in their hundreds every day. Products with a top frenzy score are very often quality products.
Sports Betting Shark has a frenzy rating of 65.47/100 which is about standard – the frenzy levels haven't arrived at fiver pitch yet

It provides a great entertainment source to the visitors. Green Lake Park and Green lake Crew enhance its beauty. It gives a great option to amuse with the plant and the animals life.

Nashville Pussy frontman Blaine Cartwright can't really sing. Which is fine, because with songs like "Keep on Fuckin'," and "You Give Drugs a Bad Name," his material isn't exactly iconic. Truth be told, Cartwright's guitar skills are also a little questionable and he ain't much to look at, unless you're into bald, fat guys with molester 'staches.
But gawddamn does he understand rock 'n' roll: If you can't play, just fill the band with super-talented hot chicks in leather pants and then stay out of their way.
The band's sound is a blitzkrieg of turbo-charged blues riffs and noisy chaos. You can compare it to Motorhead or AC/DC, but with lots more tits.
Shows routinely end with lead guitar goddess Ruyter Suys tearing through solos on her knees, her shirt off and a beer clutched between her teeth spilling suds on her chest or making out with bass player Karen Cuda in between, um, "licks."[ Video is no longer available. ]

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" cast member Phaedra Parks' husband Apollo Nida surrendered to authorities after being charged with bank fraud and identity theft, according to a complaint filed by the U.S. District Attorney's office in Atlanta Thursday.
Alexandre Herrera, a U.S. Secret Service Agent in the Counterfeit and U.S. Treasury Check Squad, in a written affidavit, charged that Nida created fake companies, enabling him to access databases to find individuals to rip off. He opened fake bank accounts under those real names and funneled stolen U.S. Treasury checks and auto loan proceeds into those accounts.
The agent in February 2012 began investigating alleged criminal activities of Gayla St. Julien, who he said was opening bank accounts under stolen identities to commit bank and check fraud. The investigation ran until September, 2013. At that point, they found 40 bank accounts tied to her. The complaint provided a sampling of bank accounts totaling about $3 million tied to alleged fraudulent activities.
The office also identified two fake debt-collection businesses used to "illicitly obtain personal identifying information of individuals." The companies used LexisNexis and Equifax database inquiries to steal identities. St. Julien was arrested on Sept. 11, 2013 by the Secret Service. She implicated Nida as the man who orchestrated many of the alleged fraudulent schemes. She had worked with Nida since 2009.

Star Micronics, one of the worlds largest printer manufacturers, today announces the worldwide launch of its pioneering thermal receipt printer, the TSP100 futurePRNT. Designed to meet the needs of a wide variety of applications, the TSP100 redefines the extent of Stars large printer portfolio by not only setting new standards in point-of-sale printing but also introducing features unseen to date in this marketplace.
The TSP100, a full speed low cost USB printer, reflects the expertise and attention to detail devoted to product design that is synonymous with Star. This unique, feature-rich printer not only provides high performance and reliability as standard but also a number of distinct features at no extra cost.
Revolutionising point-of-sale printer technology, Star has designed a printer that is capable of printing receipts at an exceptional throughput speed regardless of font used or whether graphics are included. As a result, users can now truly take advantage of modern TrueTypeTM fonts and not lose print speed. In fact, a new standard to measure print speed has now been set which more realistically reflects the true output speed. Based on this measurement, the TSP100 is the first printer in the industry to print TrueType fonts and graphics at the same speed as internal fonts.
With all accessories and software included in one box, the TSP100 represents a high quality point-of-sale printer offering exceptional value for money. In addition to providing intuitive compatibility for Microsoft applications including Java-POSTM and OPOSTM with Microsoft certification (WHQL), all printer features are available from the printers properties page in WindowsTM thus enabling all settings to be stored on the PC and easily mirrored across other TSP100 printers in the case of mass system installations. Marketing tools that enable receipts to be simply and effectively re-designed and coupons to be created based on pre-decided trigger words and values, without the need for expensive software changes, further highlight both the sophistication and complete versatility of the TSP100.
Annette Tarlton, Marketing Manager EMEA, Star Micronics, comments, Star Micronics is redefining point-of-sale printing technology with the TSP100. Setting new standards through innovative design while at the same time maintaining low cost, Star has developed a printer that takes point-of-sale printing to a completely new level.

Episode three of Under the Dome features blood rain that fosters a type of new time religion. It also spawns some less than flattering behaviour by the local school marm, aka the high school science teacher. When the show first started, Big Jim Rennie was the power tripping member of Chester's Mill. Now Rebecca Pine reveals a personality that could be best described as "Hitler-ish."
The mysterious man in last week's preview, country singer Dwight Yoakam, turns out to be Lyle, the town barber who used to date Big Jim's wife Polly. Before learning who Lyle is and his connection with Rennie senior, Barbie catches the new girl going through his things and he is not too pleased.
Meeting Lyle, gives Big Jim a chance to reveal that he is smitten with the science teacher. Then it is off to the Sweet Briar eatery to do the town consensus. Joe and Norrie have doubts about their little special group now that one of the chosen four, Angie, has died. It also becomes obvious that Joe is smitten with the new girl and Julia is not enamoured of Ms. Pine's enthusiastic "take charge" attitude.
Junior still believes he may have killed Angie and his uncle reveals that the blackout that the younger Rennie went through runs in the family. After leaving his uncle Sam Verdreaux, Junior heads back to the high school to see if he can remember anything about his blackout. At the Sweet Briar, Lyle notices that it is raining blood.
Unfortunately, the appearance of the "blood" rain, sets in motion a new time religion within Lyle, who earlier felt the day was going to be "auspicious." Under the Dome with it's biblical weather, causes Lyle to believe that the covering has caused this painful precipitation to weed out the "unrighteous."
Joe, Melanie and a very unhappy Norrie bump into Junior at the high school. Rebecca and Big Jim talk philosophy and Rennie reveals that despite his all new personality, he still feels it is all about him. After losing control of the car, caused by a cloaked figure standing in the road, Rennie is dragged out of the vehicle and left in the burning rain. The mysterious figure then drives off with the science teacher.
Back at the high school, Joe turns on his tablet and finds that he has email. A nice Stephen King reference is made here when Norrie notices that @houndsofDiana is all over Twitter. In the short story Mrs. Todd's Shortcut the lady in the story is likened to Diana of myth by the narrator of the tale.
The mysterious stranger who dragged Big Jim out of the car and drove off with Rebecca turns out to be Lyle. The spiritually awakened town barber ties the school teacher up and then explains what he believes controls the rain and the fate of Chester's Mill.
By the end of the show, Rebecca's been baptized with blood water, Junior talks to his mother, Norrie goes off on mystery girl and Sam, Big Jim's brother-in-law, reveals just how he feels about his late sister's husband.
Before the credits roll at the end of episode three of Under the Dome it is still apparent that Lyle and his new time religion beliefs have not changed. The audience learns that Sam and Lyle have a background that goes back way before the appearance of the dome. It is also pretty clear that Rebecca Pine, apart from being supportive of Big Jim, is pretty cold blooded. Plus mystery girl's identity is revealed at last. Next week looks to provide more answers and questions about what is going on Under the Dome.

I've been an OVH customer for about 6 months now.
I have used a variety of their dedicated servers and use their VPS services from time to time for being a "front face" to a project where I use the dedicated server as part of the back end. For example, I run a MariaDB server for all my SQL needs instead of multiple SQL servers on this dedicated server. I run LibreNMS on the OVH SSD VPS #1 and use my OVH dedicated server for hosting the SQL database. It's nothing advanced but I like if the VPS goes down or is inaccessible, I've got the data running on another SQL server.
Later on, I'll get replication working where the data will be replicated to Chicago in case the OVH network goes completely down.

Hi C.J.,
I felt compelled to write a comment on this one - what a horrible experience!
I find generally that people into miniatures are really supportive, though I think the further up the 'artisan' ladder, the stiffer the competition - which is why some insecure people like to pour cold water on our efforts.
But I'm very glad that you have a healthy level of self confidence!
Keep going, yur blg is really informative and interesting

Hello CJ,
Well said! There is no such thing as a bad or a good technique in miniature. as long as the finished project gives the illusion of reality that is all that matters. It was very rude and quite gauche to point out that your technique was different then his, not necessarily bad. I hate people like that! You've done such amazing work I think you deserve allt he praise that you get.
Big hug,

Hi C.J.,
I'm a doll maker or at least I try to be one ;-) and I've had a lot of these people, too.
There was one who complained about my Bavarian maid and me to stereotype. Guess what, I AM a busty Bavarian ... though not blond ... lol.
Then there is the woman who would have liked to strangle me because I insulted her culture. Well, I spend hours researching Maori culture and tattoo's and tried to copy it onto my 12th scale doll. I admit he wasn't the best doll I ever made but, hey, I tried hard.
And then someone would have bought sooo many things in my shop if I just wouldn't be a racist. I made a caricature doll of a Cannibal.
That was especially humorous because half of my family is of African origin. Well, I'm still making the dolls I want to do no matter what they say and I love it.

Giac said it right. It was quite gauche. They should be embarrased by their words. You obviously display a great talent. And there are tons of us who admire your work, skills, and love your tutorials. Let those bad apples rot in the bottom of the barrel where they belong.

I absolutely love the aromas arising from the herbes de Provence sauted in olive oil, whenever I cook this French vegetarian recipe. I had Ratatouille when I first travelled to France, and since then I tried several recipes to get the dish perfect. It was only last week when I got my hands on this book, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, by Julia Child, it revealed the secret to cooking the perfect ratataouille, just the one I had. This recipe indeed explains how to create an authentic Ratatatouille.
1 lb eggplant,
1 lb zuccini,
A 3-quart, porcelean or stainless steel bowl,
1 tsp salt,
A 10-12 inch enameled skilet,
4 TB olive oil, more if needed,
1 tbsp herbes de Provence
1/2 lb thinly sliced yellow onions,
2 sliced green bell peppers,
2 to 3 TB olive oil if necessary,
2 cloves mashed garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
1 lb, firm, ripe, red tomatoes, peeled, seeded and jucied,
salt and pepper,
A 2 1/2 quart fireproof casserole about 2 1/2 inches deep,
3 TB minced parsley
Peel the eggplant and cut into lengthwise slices 3/8 inch, about 3 inches long, and 1 inch wide. Scrub the zuccini, slice off the two ends, and cut the zuccini into slices about the same as the size of the eggplant slices. Place the vegetables in bowl and toss with the salt. Let it stand for 30 minutes. Drain, dry each slice in a towel.
One layer at a time, saute the eggplant, then the zucchini in hot olive oil for about a minute, on each side to brown very lightly, remove to a side dish.
In the same skillet, cook the onions and peppers, in olive oil for about 10 minutes, or tender but not browned. Stir in the herbes de Provence and garlic.
Slice the tomato pulp into 3/8 inch strips. Lay them over the onions and peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Cover the skiller and cook over low heat for 5 minutes, or until tomatoes have begun render their juice. Uncover, baste the tomatoes with the juices, raise the heat and boil for several minutes, until juice had almost entirely evaporated.
Place a third of a tomato mixture, in the bottom of the casserole and sprinkle over 1 tablespoon of parsley. Arrange half of the eggplant and zucchini on top, then half of the remaining tomatoes and parsley. Put in the rest of the eggplant and zucchini, and finish with the remaining tomatoes and parsley.
Cover the casserole and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Uncover, tip casserole, and baste with the rendered juices. Correct seasoning, if necessary. Raise heat slighly and uncovered for about 15 minutes more, basting several times, until juices have evaporated leaving a spoonful or two of flavoured olive oil. Be careful of your heat; do not let the vegetables scorch in the bottom of the casserole.
Notes from me: Ratatatouille can be created a day well in advance, as the flavours of the herbs and the tomato mature overnight.

August is National Immunization Awareness Month (#NIAM14). The purpose of this observance is to highlight the importance of immunizations, one of the top 10 public health accomplishments of the 20th Century, according to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC).
While immunizations have significantly reduced the incidence of many serious infectious diseases, vaccination rates for some diseases are not meeting national public health goals. And we need to remind people that immunizations aren't just for children. They are needed throughout our lifetime.


text: Curious to hear from you guys who have switched from shooting compounds to traditional archery and what helped you learn to shoot. I dont have any shops with instructors within a few hours, so I was hoping to find online videos or other resources that worked for you. Ive had a lot of fun tinkering with my recurve and shooting beach ball-sized groups, but I want to become proficient enough to hunt with it and wonder what I can study to shorten the learning curve.

People often ask me if they could accompany me on my late-night walkabouts. I ask them how far they're able to walk. Their answer is often, "Why, how far would I have to walk?"
The answer to this non-answer is 5-8 miles, over a span of many hours. They lose interest quickly, and that's okay. I don't know if I'd want a companion anyhow. It's like Henry David Thoreau once said: "The man who goes alone can start today; but he who travels with another must wait until that other is ready."
A few weeks back, I walked alone from a brewery in Minneapolis' North Loop to an eatery Downtown. That was a half-mile. From there, I walked alone to a pizza shop less than a block away; and from there, I walked nearly two-and-a-half miles alone for dessert, then a mile and a half back Downtown in hopes of nerfing the taxi charge for the ride home.
Two breweries, a cheeseburger, a cocktail, a slice of pizza, some Black Eyed Peas, a triple chocolate chunk cookie, and the usual "Lyft home I don't quite remember" later, this is the story I came back with.
Here's what happened that night in Minneapolis.
CHAPTER 1: Inbound Hibiscus Saison
The Inbound Brewco taproom is a mere one block north of Target Field, where the Minnesota Twins occasionally play baseball. As of this article's publication, the Minnesota Twins' 2017 season record is 35-33. My beloved Los Angeles Angels' record is 37-37. How has one team played seven more games in than the other? Because one of them plays in Minnesota, with no roof over its ballpark, that's why. Did I mention a northwest suburb recently had to shovel themselves out from under a hailstorm earlier this month?
Let's not put a retractable roof on that stadium, though. Everything will be fine.
I approached Inbound, under one of the brighter dusks I'd seen lately. The frame of its building is the blackest black. In a photograph, it looks drawn in with a Sharpie. The taproom glowed gold, and through the windows I scoped out my seat. I walked in and dropped myself off at the very far end of the bar.
I don't know what's up with the branding at Inbound. My wife says it looks like World War II propaganda. I think it would look at home on an MMA T-shirt. It's distinct, though. You couldn't count the number of companies with their name written cleanly in a perfectly round circle, but you could count the number of them with their name written in a grenade! Visually, you don't confuse Inbound for anyone. Maybe I do know what's up with the branding.
Look around the taproom too long and it starts to seem prison-like. The windows look barred. The cafeteria-style seats beyond the bar counter look like wooden blocks. A balcony, barely visible in the back, overlooks the whole thing. A gun-wielding Terminator wouldn't look too out of place up there. Even that impressive white board overlooking the bar appears to be shouting orders.
I was never found out.
What I had was Inbound's Hibiscus Saison. It's a popular one; they had window posted printed up for this one. They sell it in bottles, too. It's made with hibiscus petals and wears an outrageous flowery hue.
It walks a lot of lines well. It's tart, but not excruciatingly so. Notes of cranberry are present, but not so much that it sails off into Kool-Aid Land. It's an easy beer to drink, and there isn't an excess of alcohol hiding in there. It's a beer you can admire, hold it up to a light, sniff, smile, take a sip of and say to yourself "This is nice!" I know because I did this a few times.
After nearly an hour, I set the empty glass down and took off toward Downtown. My legs were fresh, my senses were keen, and nothing was going to slow me down!
I stopped at the very next taproom.
CHAPTER 2: Fulton Pils
The herd had thinned at Fulton Brewing's taproom by the time I strolled in, all knowing everybody and shit, a lonely spot at the end of the bar with my name practically engraved into the counter. Down there, I can call the bartenders by name and act like some kind of big shot; on the other end, where the registers are, I'd have to mingle with (shudders) people. I found my corner and leaned my torso just over the counter, looking very urgent in doing so.
Fulton recently unleashed a pilsner into the market, following the success of its Standard Lager and its 300 IPA and its pretty much everything else. Fulton's Pils is not a complex beer, and that's a good thing. Its simplicity and cleanliness allow you to focus on other things, which I couldn't do because my phone battery was about to go flat. Because I'm me, though – and it's very important that a man like myself be available to see and ignore those who contact me – the guys behind the bar hooked me up to a charger and poured me another pint while I waited. Over that pint, I forced my conversation upon them while they tried to close up the shop.
I had two pints of Pils. I could have had another six or seven. It's not a big, bad, "fill you up" beer. It's a beer you can sip on aggressively after a hard day at work, and set it forcefully onto its coaster. You can smile over it, too, and set it down delicately. I smiled over two, got my phone back, and attempted photography. This beer is no poser.
With an 80-percent charge and Run the Jewels in my head, I reset my sights on downtown.
CHAPTER 3: The Entrance of an Ostensibly Whack Nightclub
It was nearing midnight, and the "hot" nightclubs were separating themselves from the "whack" ones. I wandered for nearly a half-hour, cargo shorts and Summit beer T-shirt, perusing the lines snaking out of the "hot" ones. Some went for blocks: women in tight-fitting dresses, men in loose-fitting ball caps, pedal cabbies swerving around hunting fares. Outside of some clubs, you'd swear the XBox One X was being released.
I stopped in front of one club. I forget the name. I'm not sure it was even advertised. There was no line. I would surmise this nightclub was "whack."
Four or five people stood on the sides of the door, not so much like bouncers but sentries. The men were big – not huge, just big – wore black suits and stood perfectly still. There were two women, and they both reminded me of assassins from TV shows. One had hair back tight in a ponytail. They both had long, manicured nails.
One of the women took a step forward, and was suddenly right in front of me. Her name was Hilary. We shook hands.
"Is this club cool?" I asked, knowing the answer already. She waffled, then lied.
"Is there a cover?"
"It's $10 tonight." My facial features fought over what expression to make. I can't imagine my face hid this too well.
"Hell, I could buy a burger up at 112 for that," I said.
"You could," said Hilary, but then her voice tailed off into nothing.
"Sold!" I said triumphantly. "I'm going for the burger!"
I don't think they really wanted me in that club.
Chapter 4: The 112 Eatery Cheeseburger
The 112 Eatery has the best entrance. First off, the sign over the door looks like the avatar of somebody's Etsy page. It's so simple, with such simple coloring, and its name in such a simple font, you just want to browse its hand-made goods and leave a nice comment someplace. You walk inside, though; and, even though you can see the restaurant on the other side of the window, you somehow have to walk down a hallway when you go in the front door. The walls of this hallway are filled with unspeakable images.
I say "unspeakable" because I've never actually looked at them.
You enter the restaurant and you see just how little space they're working with in the dining room. It's much bigger than its space, if that makes any sense. Maybe it's the mirrors dominating the side wall, or the windows dominating the front wall, or the fact you enter the dining room and you're already a quarter of the way back to the kitchen. If you allow yourself to be confused by all this, you may could be. I'd recommend just pulling up a seat at the bar.
The man sitting next to me at the bar was a cook. I wish I remembered his name. He recommended an Old Fashioned, said the bartender made one of the best of its kind in the area. I wish I remembered the bartender's name. She was having a blast back there, that much I do know. They both told me their stories. I wish I remembered them, too. I ordered a cheeseburger, and took him up on his Old Fashioned recommendation.
The cheeseburger presents unexpected twists on the fundamentals. It's a bun, but it's an English muffin bun. It's cheese, but it's brie cheese. It's a little bowl of pickles, but you just grab them all up and stuff them into your mouth like a toddler picking up a Lego for the first time. The beef, oh my God, the beef. It was juicy, and bit like a cloud. The cheese oozed, but just a little. It made no mess whatsoever. I don't think I used a napkin at all. Finest burger I've had in some time.
I don't articulate cocktails too well, but this Old Fashioned was an absolute pleasure. It was exactly the drink you'd expect from a bartender who was having fun, and who gave a hefty crap whether you'd enjoy it or not. I did, quite so.
I hung around there for a bit, learning more about the company I was keeping (I'd need this information to forget later on). I briefly debated a second burger, but decided I was no longer hungry and left.
Chapter 5: Dulono's Pizza
"There was a Dulono's downtown?!" I was kind of hungry, so to find this on the corner of 4th St. and Second Ave. was commodious, indeed.
It's much more spiffed-up than the original Dulono's Pizza in Uptown. This Dulono's has a flashy sign with red neon letters, an interior that seems to glow red, and a man at the door who needs to photograph you before you can enter the restaurant. I made a cross-eyed face into his camera, and he took the photo. I proceeded inside and ordered a slice of pepperoni. The restaurant was otherwise empty. My slice of pizza came quickly.
The first bite boiled the inside of my mouth. It's good pizza, though. If you're familiar with Dulono's, you already know that. Everything you want to say about a good pizza joint, you can say about Dulono's with a straight face. I took one more trial bite, then blew on the nip of cheese on the end and successfully bit into that. I blew into the space between the cheese and crust where I'd just bitten, and tried eating that. It wasn't too hot. I'd reached the mainland! That became just blowing on the top of the slice, and eventually taking adult-sized bites. By the time I was done, I had eaten the pizza.
By the time I left, any place I'd want to go Downtown was getting ready to close. There was another place, though, a cookie shop I'd heard about up in Dinkytown that stayed open until 3:00 in the morning. It was a 2.4 mile walk.
For a good chocolate chip cookie, that's nothin'.
Chapter 6: Insomnia Cookies
Dinkytown. Dinky-dinky-dinkytown. The college neighborhood.
I knew I was there when I passed this one house. It looked like a party had just died in the front yard. I don't mean ended, I mean died. A rickety plastic table stood shockingly upright, with red plastic cups arranged neatly on both ends. Various case boxes and cans were strewn about the yard, its alcoholic contents long gone. A young woman stood in the front doorway, probably intoxicated but looking alert. From inside the house, the Black Eyed Peas' "My Humps" roared out like dragonfire.
It was a random Facebook post that linked to a Reddit post or something, I don't know, but somehow I became aware of Insomnia Cookies. To get there, I had to pass the Kitty Cat Klub, Annie's Parlour, and the Loring Pasta Bar. I'm either gravely mistaken, or the Loring Pasta Bar has a hell of a nightlife. That pasta bar was a better nightclub than Hilary's club.
The streets were a mishmash of taxis, locked-up bicycle frames with wheels and seats stolen off, and drunken 20-somethings only kind of acting a fool. At one point, a man in a superhero costume glided past me and charged into a big group of people. He stopped abruptly in the middle and began break-dancing. The mass-mingling would occasionally flood into the street, but recede back onto the sidewalks. You could drive down these streets at this hour, but I wouldn't want to.
Huge packs of people of all outfits and colors crowded into Andrea Pizza, Erbert and Gerbert's, and this Blarney Pub and Grill I'd never heard of. Outside of it, a woman helped a man home. Two friends asked to help another young man home, but he insisted he was okay. He was sitting on the sidewalk outside of the Blarney. He appeared to fall asleep immediately after his friends walked away.
I found Insomnia Cookies and couldn't believe there was no line. I don't know if there's room enough for a line. I remember taking one step into the shop and nearly gut-punching myself on the front counter. The man at the front counter gave me a haymaker of a hello and left me a little bit dizzy.
"One second," I said. "It's my first time here," I said, as if I'd never seen cookies before.
I settled on a triple chocolate chunk and it came out in seconds. It was a melty, gooey, chocolately mess. It might have been the best cookie I've ever eaten. Chocolate was everywhere. I had to eat it quickly before it crumbled apart, melted, evaporated, or any number of thing that could have happened to it had I waited. Maybe that superhero could have snuck a bite between dance moves. Maybe Mr. Zees on the sidewalk was a sleep eater. I don't know. A cookie this delicious was an emergency: I didn't want to share it, and I didn't want to lose any part of it. I stood in the middle of the sidewalk and focused. A whole world was happening around me, and good lord it was weird, but I was singularly focused on this cookie.
That's what Insomnia Cookies does, and did I mention they deliver?
Steam was still rising from it as I took the last bite. Wow. Yes. Do I go back for another? No. This was all I needed from Dinkytown.
I wanted a ride home, but knew surge pricing would still be active on Lyft. I enjoy walking, though, and that's free. I walked back downtown, got 2.4 miles closer to home, and waited outside Day Block Brewing for my Lyft. I saved myself $7 by doing this.
RELATED: This was over 2,400 words long … BUT IF YOU REALLY WANT MORE, here's the story of me attending a party, crashing another party, meeting a band, and creeping on tailgaters on night on Washington Avenue. If you STILL want more, here's the brewery tour I hosted for my mother-in-law and her friends last year. For EVEN MORE, have that time we hit 15 breweries in one day.

Note: These notes are taken from a Peace TV video clip. They cannot be published as definitive texts and should never be used in the future as an "official" publication of True Father's words. However, they do provide a good idea of the "spirit" of the message. — Rev. Katsumi Kambashi
Mrs. McDevitt read Father's speech from the Sermons of the Rev. Moon #47, titled "Base for the Kingdom of Heaven."
After the reading, she sang "소양강 처녀," (Soyang Virgin) and the all brothers sang "진짜 사나이." (Real Man) Father continued to close his eyes listening earnestly to the songs.
Mr. Gyeong Jin Yun from the US headquarters made a report regarding Rev. In Jin Moon's great efforts in educating 2nd gens. He was especially focused on her "Generation Peace Academy," which was newly developed from STF. (See gpafamily.com)

Final Fantasy XIV tour didn't just include a preview of the areas to be found in the upcoming beta. No, we proud and few got the chance to also explore some of the game's other iconic areas, areas closed off at the start of the beta but slated for opening later on in the testing process. I poked around both of these regions, touring both the streets of Ul'dah in Thanalan and the cliffs and plains of La Noscea.
These areas were admittedly still a work in progress. While the maps were mostly finished, the enemies in many of the regions were placeholders, and it was clear that the client we were using had a version with these regions in a state that's not ready for prime time. Still, it was interesting to look at both and see things that had been changed, updated, and in a few cases removed altogether.
Before I proceed, a note: All of the areas under discussion are still being optimized and improved, so some elements such as lighting and geometry may change by the time you get to play with them.

New name, new season, new website!
Hi friends! Yeah, I know it's been awhile... After taking some time off of competitive triathlon for some life stuff (I got married!), I'm back at it. Before I jump into triathlon-talk, here's a little glimpse into life the past few months.
As you probably know by now (and if you didn't, you just found out above!), I recently got married! Matt and I tied the knot on September 24. We had the most perfect wedding out in the Finger Lakes in New York. It was a beautiful day, and everything came together so well (a relief after months and months of planning!).
We took an amazing honeymoon - two weeks in Hawaii! We spent 8 days in Kauai - relaxing by the beach, hiking, taking in the sites (via helicopter!), and drinking lots of champagne. :) I really love Kauai - such a beautiful, peaceful, and green island. I could definitely see us making our way back there again in the future. We then jetted down to Kona for the final few days to catch up with some friends and watch the Ironman World Championships.
Since we've been back, we've been settling into married life. Honestly, not much has changed for us - minus some upgrades in the home and kitchen department (finally could get rid of those old hand-me-down pots and cheap placesettings that have followed me from apartment to apartment!). I think the biggest change for me has been getting use to my new name! I am now officially Kaitlin Curbeau (maybe now race announcers will be able to pronounce my name :)).
Matt's been focusing on bike racing - working his way up the rankings in cyclocross this fall, and will do some road racing this spring. I've started back up with the formal triathlon training, with QT2 and Coach Tim, setting up to do a bunch of 70.3s and a Ironman later this year (Take a look at my tentative 2017 race schedule). I'm excited to give Ironman another shot - my first attempt was great, but I've struggled through the last two. It's time to do some work!
Right now, I'm down in Clermont FL with the QT2 pro squad for our annual pre-season camp. This is my 5th (!) year at this camp, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to attend the full 2+ weeks this year. I always come away from camp a little fitter and a lot more knowledgeable. Even though I've been in this sport for several years now, I still have so much to learn. This is the first year that Matt won't be here with me, so of course that's leaving me a bit homesick. But I know this camp is super beneficial for me, and it is nice to get away from the cold and snow back home to get in some good quality training outdoors.
So that's that! More to come here, but for now, I'm getting back in shape and getting excited to race again soon. Here we go, 2017!

By Ryan Burton
Multiple sources have advised BoxingScene.com that an HBO televised doubleheader that will feature the return of Brandon Rios' (32-2-1) will take place on August 2nd in either Las Vegas, Nevada or Fresno, California.
An agreement is close to being reached for Rios to face Diego Chaves (23-1) of Argentina. Chaves burst onto the U.S. scene last July when he lost to Keith Thurman in San Antonio, Texas in an exciting fight. Even though he was stopped in the 10 round, Chaves put on a good show and stunned Thurman on a few occasions.
Rios last fight took place in November when he lost an unanimous decision to Manny Pacquiao in Macau, China while Chaves returned to the ring in February and stopped Juan Godoy in 10 rounds.
The co-featured fight will be newly crowned WBA/IBO junior welterweight champion Jessie Vargas first title defense. An agreement has yet to be finalized but Vargas will likely face undefeated contender Anton Novikov (29-0) of Russia.

Theme Birthday Party: Safari Madagascar
Kids love animals and having a Madagascar Party would be something that they are going to feel really excited about. When was the last time you took the kids to zoo? If that is something that you have not done in a while then it would be a high time to throw a Madagascar Party!
Madagascar birthday party is an absolute great theme for kids of a wide age range. Tropical colors such as green, orange, yellow and blue are the best coloursto suit the Madagascar party decorations. Creating this special party environment is soo much fun. The Madagascar birthday party table is covered with a theme cloth and set with matching safari stuffs. Animal plush toys are spread around the area. Other "tropical decorations" (e.g., pictures of palm trees and wild animals, green paper streamers, theme-related standees, etc.) are also used to create the jungle atmosphere.
A fun and festive centerpiece can be fashioned by a having a sculptured safari figurine cake, stand beautifully on a roman pillar vase. Party favors are personalized with printed labels of Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Melman the Giraffe and Gloria the Hippo. The Plotting Penguin icing cookies just complete the set!
Playing the Madagascar theme music in the background is a must! A jungle with green streamers draped around the room and hanging from the ceiling could excite the mood. Details could be added up by clustering a couple of coconuts, bananas, a safari hat (pith helmet) and binoculars in the middle of the table.
A personalized Happy Birthday banner is hung on the wall to accentuate the decorated party table. Animal footprints made from construction paper are scattered around the house to create more excitement. Another great party and photo prop that'll bring the safari animals to life is a life-sized animal buntings. You can choose from a Gorilla, Lion or Tiger and have them guard your party entrance. Then take photos of the kids posing next to the animals and use them for thank you cards.
Looks like a bunch of untamed kids are about to have a wild time at your Madagascar party! Get ready for some ROARING fun!

Respiratory Motion, Inc. Reports Important New Data On The ExSpiron Respiratory Monitor, The First Monitor To Provide Continuous Minute Ventilation Data In Non-Ventilated Patients
Studies show the ExSpiron's quantitative measurements of respiration demonstrate value in a number of clinical settings
Company receives additional FDA Clearance
Jul 09, 2013, 09:12 ET
WALTHAM, Mass., July 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Data supporting the accuracy and utility of the new ExSpiron 1Xi monitoring system continues to mount with presentations at major medical conferences. At the International Anesthesia Research Society Meeting held May 4-7 in San Diego, CA, four separate presentations demonstrated the ExSpiron system's utility in a variety of intra-operative and post-operative settings. Respiratory Motion conducted studies with physicians from Massachusetts General Hospital and Tufts Medical Center in Boston, MA, and Vidant Medical Center in Greenville, NC. Clinicians presented data that showed the ExSpiron is able to report dangerous decreases in respiration—and apneic episodes—following narcotic administration in both cardiac and orthopedic surgery patients.
Additionally, compelling new data from studies conducted at Massachusetts General Hospital, Tufts Medical Center and The University of Vermont has been accepted for presentation at the prestigious American Society of Anesthesiologists conference to be held in San Francisco October 12th-15th, 2013.
"We have never before been able to quantify the influence of pain agents on the respiratory system with such fidelity," reported Gary Mullen, M.D., a practicing anesthesiologist at Vidant Medical Center and a study author. "This new information will enable us to alter care and potentially avoid respiratory distress well before current technologies would signal a problem."
Monitoring the respiratory status of patients after opioid administration is challenging, in particular with obese and elderly patient populations. This novel method of providing minute ventilation data, previously only available on ventilated patients, is consistently proving to be valuable by helping clinicians quantify respiration in a variety of clinical settings.
Respiratory Motion, Inc. also reported its recent 510(k) clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its follow-on ExSpiron 1Xi respiratory monitoring system. This clearance covers the latest generation of the device and its proprietary PadSet.
To accommodate its recent product launch, Respiratory Motion has relocated and completed its planned expansion of the manufacturing facility in Waltham, Massachusetts.
Jenny Freeman, M.D., CEO and founder, stated, "The convergence of the clinical evidence with our FDA clearance has positioned us well to accelerate our product launch. Both the acceptance of our data by prestigious medical societies and the positive response from the clinical community support our fundamental belief that our technology fills a clear unmet need and will improve patient safety."
The ExSpiron is available now for clinicians in the initial hospital settings of anesthesia/OR, post-op recovery, procedural sedation and intensive care units.
About the ExSpiron Respiratory Volume Monitor
The ExSpiron's Respiratory Volume Monitoring system enables the measurement of Minute Ventilation. Minute Ventilation is the fundamental unit of breathing – the amount of air actually being exchanged by the lungs in a minute. Prior to the introduction of the ExSpiron, this important metric of Minute Ventilation was never available for patients not on a mechanical ventilator. Minute Ventilation data (the amount of air that enters/leaves the lungs every minute) – along with ExSpiron's other respiratory data – are vital, quantitative measures of breathing that have not been previously available to physicians across the continuum of care.
ExSpiron continuously and noninvasively measures and displays lung volume against time, generating quantitative metrics for minute ventilation (the amount of air that enters/leaves the lungs every minute), respiratory rate (breaths per minute), and tidal volume (the volume of air in a single breath). Minute Ventilation was previously only captured continuously via mechanical ventilators, or gauged intermittently via a spirometer in patients mentally and physically able to perform the test. The ExSpiron monitor now brings this capability to assess patients' respiratory status continuously to the point of care. ExSpiron is for use on adult patients as an adjunct to other clinical data.
About Respiratory Motion, Inc.
Respiratory Motion, Inc. is a privately held medical device company based in Waltham, Massachusetts focused on the development and commercialization of innovative devices to monitor respiration. Its mission is to create respiratory technologies and products that help clinicians and hospitals improve patient safety and outcomes. www.respiratorymotion.com

Over the past couple years, we have heard Obama and Eric Holder cite the importance of staying true to our values when dealing with terrorists. Obama was quite clear on this subject when he banned waterboarding as being torture, and Holder in citing the rule of law as a rationale for trying the nasty sheik in Manhattan.
Where now are Obama, Holder, and all their sanctimonious sycophants on the subject of American Values? They have suddenly gone quiet in the maelstrom of controversy surrounding the intrusive policies of Homeland Security's TSA. Perhaps hoping the whole thing will blow away before they have to make any further brilliant remarks such as Janet Napolitano's inane comment, "Well, if you don't like it, you don't have to fly."
When Obama and Holder were talking about "American moral values" they were describing a country defined by basic principles of integrity, rule of law, and a sense of fairness that permeates our unique experiment in governance. It thus seems strange that when confronted by a very specific example of the exact opposite, they choose to remain silent. I am referring, of course, to the enunciated moral values found in the United States Constitution. Specifically, the first ten amendments to the Constitution know collectively as the Bill of Rights. And, even more specifically, Amendment IV, which bears directly on the current controversy.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
I assume there are lawsuits either under way or on tap that claim the searches by TSA are not Constitutional because they are unreasonable. I also assume the Department of Homeland Security, along with the Attorney General of the United States, will argue that the searches are reasonable since they are made to ensure security of the flying public. However argued, the government is on some pretty shaky grounds here, since the morality of carrying the searches to the point of sexual intrusion crosses a line that everyone knows instinctively is wrong. I would assume the nine wise men and women on the Supreme Court will feel the same, should the matter reach that far.
It is with this belief that I feel moral values will eventually trump the need for security. And since moral values have been cited by Obama and Holder as the very basis of the way we approach security from terrorists, I would also assume they will join with the American people in halting the invasive searches.
But I am not holding my breath.

"My team is not dirty. All the issues were on their side of the field. This is a football game, not a Hallmark Moment." Quote from Scott Lago – a Pop Warner football coach in Southbridge, Mass. after a game in which five opposing players all 12 or younger, suffered concussions as reported in the New York Times
When I read this quote the other day, it hit me that maybe, just maybe, our Neanderthal selves are much more part of us than we would like to admit. It's kind of like that chimp that ripped off the neighbor's face. Many of us have these primordial urges and needs that really aren't being met by watching television, flipping people off when we drive, and screaming at the neighbor's dog.
It's that old "Christian and the Lions" story. Thumbs up? Thumbs down? I know it's not politically correct to discuss some of these things, but let's face it, there are a few people who watch cars drive in a circle for hours in the hopes that someone will crash. And how about professional wrestling? It's always real quiet when we see a professional athlete down on the field, but, obviously, that New Orleans coach had that goal in mind from the beginning.
Desmond Morris wrote a book back in the 70s called, "The Naked Ape," and it was about us. Morris was a zoologist who studied animals his entire life. Then he took all of that animal information and wrote a telling book about the fact that, even though I'm writing this in a white shirt with a necktie on, and in an airplane, I'm really an animal. Yeah, we can go through the soul discussion and the ability to choose discussion, but there are still a load of things in our DNA that clearly demonstrate that we are mammals, animals, in so many ways.
I've always been really curious about that pheromone thing? We are attracted to each other by our smells, but we don't know what we are smelling? It's kind of like a dog whistle. How many times have you heard someone say, "I walked into the room, saw him or her, and the rest is history?" I'll never forget the talking head who, during the Clinton scandal years said, "He's an Alpha male, and they like spreading it around." Or how about when Barry and Mitten almost squared off at the second debate and started punching each other?
So, the question becomes: Are we doing enough to take care of our animal selves? If 90 percent of our health care-related illnesses come from stress, are we doing enough animal stuff to relieve it? I was seated beside a physician on a flight a few weeks ago when he described the difference between good and bad stress. He said that if you spell desserts backwards, it spells stressed . . . or something like that. So, maybe we need to figure out what is civilized animal stuff and what is uncivilized animal stuff, and just own up to the fact that we are not always in control of our inner animals.
Mine, for example, longs to see a violent James Bond movie where no one is really hurt and it all ends up good. Yours might be football or a knock-down drag-out opera.
I'm sure that Coach Scott is a decent, church-going guy who loves his family, is a working stiff, and probably drives a minivan. Truthfully, when I Googled Scott, the only information that appeared was about Scotty Lago, the world-famous snowboarding dude. I honestly don't think that this is the guy quoted above. This Scott probably drives a minivan, and was not a star football player.
Maybe we should all spend more time protecting the brains of the teams' leadership . . . because, if they teach little kids to hit like missiles, they can't be thinking straight.

The average 1980 household was larger in Marshall Terrace than in Minneapolis; however in 1990 and 2000, the neighborhood and Minneapolis were identical.
In 1980, 64 percent of all households in Marshall Terrace were family households, but this dropped to 57 percent in 2000. The second largest household type was people under 65 living alone, which included 22 percent of all the neighborhood households in 2000.
The percentage of householders living alone was consistently lower in Marshall Terrace than Minneapolis between 1980 and 2000. The difference between the two, however, decreased during this time period from 10 percent to only 1 percent.
The percentage of seniors living alone was much lower in Marshall Terrace than Minneapolis in 1980, but the neighborhood percentage increased sharply by 2000 to 1 percent above the Minneapolis percentage.
The percentage of families with children under 18 was consistently lower in Marshall Terrace than Minneapolis between 1980 and 2000. However, during this period the difference was reduced to just 2 percent.

MGX: Were New Windows Motto and Logo Revealed?
Apparently the company screened a teaser with a"fast moving sequence of morphing logos," including those from all its major brands: Windows, Xbox, Bing, Office, and so on, along with the tagline: "Be What's Next." Engadget postulated that perhaps an overdue design overhaul was being unveiled. But the blog updated later to report that Microsoft had contacted it and said that the teaser was a "standalone treatment," not logos to replace the familiar ones. Too bad... those fake logos are pretty appealing!
However, the tagline is real and will be showing up soon.

The fourth and último installment. Hope you enjoy.
Toe tapping music that will more often than not have you walking to the beat as if you were part of a music video. The album is that good starting off with the exceptional Second Song. Pianos, bass rhythms, all blends into one irresistible groove that shows that there is definitely fantastic music coming from new bands. Keep your heart keeps the rhythm flowing and more often than not, I've found myself swaying to the song. That's the album in the nutshell, good enough to have as background music, great enough to use as a soundtrack on a personal video, great enough to listen to with your best headphones to get all the bleeps and all in between. It's rare that a band can pull off an album that is immediately accessible and yet intricate, so click repeat all and enjoy. By the way, it's not all just dancing music… Killer Crane sound like it was made for the dawn; it grows, and grows and swells beautifully constricting in its tension yet grandiose in its release. The thing is that the songs on Nine Types of Light have such lush instrumentation that keeping track is a hard task… one that shouldn't be our concern anyways. As listeners, it's our sole duty to listen and enjoy… and with Nine Types of Light, nothing can come more natural. Choice Tracks: Second Song, Keep Your Heart, No Future Shock, Killer Crane, Will Do, New Cannonball Blues, Repetition.
In a phrase: This album is tight like a tiger. From the opening track it's clear that the intention was to present the Foo Fighters in their prime, putting out their best album since The Colour and the Shape, which is still the milestone to beat. In terms of variety, it also seems to have the widest range of musical styles. Bridges Burning is a classic rocker that sets up for wanting more. Then you have Rope, a midtempo rocker with a lot of heavy riffs and a super poppy chorus. Then you have Bob Mould from Hüsker Du offering backing vocals and guitar to Dear Rosemary, one of the brighter highlights of a great album. Then things get heavy with White Limo, a track that rips into your eardrums echoing shadows of Queens of the Stoneage. Then you go back to another classic midtempo rocker in Arlandria which is a great hookfest. So what's next? How about an uplifting song. You heard right, These Days reminded me a bit of Learn to Fly, but with a softer approach. The album is chock full of great tracks, it's well balanced, played and written solidly and all you could want from the Foos. Choice Tracks: Bridge Burning, Dear Rosemary, White Limo, Arlandria, These Days, I Should Have Known, Walk.
If anything should be clear to me by now is that Ben Harper is incapable of making a bad record and equally incapable of making a record I REALLY need to listen to repeat times. Somehow he hits an awkward middle ground where good lyrics, great songs and excellent guitar licks please my palate without compelling me to leave this album for repeat listens. That peculiar gripe aside, once again, Mr. Harper and Co. demonstrate that they can tackle many a genre within the span of an album while continuing the case for being a band you need to see live. The first track "Don't give up on me now" is a midtempo song which isn't a barn burning opener though it's good… now the second track shows how good Harper can be. One of the definite standouts of this album is the moody "I Will not be broken". Strings, a background chorus and various other details take this track to another level that few tracks on the album can keep pace with. Then there's Rock N' Roll is Free… inspired by Neil Young and without about half the balls and grit of Uncle Neil, it's a fine song that's fun and catchy, though still way shy from the source material. Then you have Feel Love, another stellar standout track that clearly shines in its heartbreak. Then you have track 5, Clearly Severely, a song that grabs you by your genitals and doesn't let go for 5 minutes with by far my favorite track of the album and one of the best from Harpers varied career. As if that weren't enough, Spilling Faith follows, a groovy number with great lyrics, piano and enough swagger to make you want to walk like Lenny Kravitz in leather pants and is followed by a jam session which is optional, something very nice if you don't want to indulge in the 5 minute psychedelic jam session. Afterwards there's Pray that our love sees the dawn and Waiting on a Sign, which are good though not mind blowing. Then you have a stomping fuzzed out lap steel guitar ditty called Dirty Little Lover which echoes the Black Crowes and really works. Then, the album unfortunately ends on a track that I have rarely been able to sit through completely, Do it for you, do it for us. The song is ok until the end verse gets repeated and screamed to death… and not in a cool, that's an interesting soul blasting way. Really, I'm not too big a fan of the song probably because it drags on like a minute too long and without it, I would have been perfectly fine with it. The thing is that the track starts out super cool and somehow manages to get to the point of being annoying. I know it's a dick thing to say, but that's how I felt about it, mainly because it could have been such a great track with a little less indulgence. That being said, Ben once again offers up a good selection of tracks with some true gems thrown in the mix. Choice Tracks: I Will Not Be Broken, Feel Love, Clearly Severely, Spilling Faith, Dirty Little Lover.
The title of the album is appropriate because it's the same band with a new angle. Fun, poppy, happy go lucky… these aren't things I usually associate with The Strokes, yet that's what you get in this album. Just listen to Machu Picchu and Under the Cover of Darkness and tell me that it isn't finger snapping good music. It's as if the rules have changed and they opted for something a bit brighter and to just have fun. You can sense this in a song that sounds like it came off a The Cars album in Two Kinds of Happiness with a super solid chorus that's is completely different from the rest of the song - one of my favorite tracks on the album. There's an eighties vibe to a couple of tracks and all in all, it's another solid album. Choice Tracks: Machu Picchu, Under Cover of Darkness, Two Kinds of Happiness, Life Is Simple in the Moonlight

A Few Thoughts on Repentance vis-a-vis Baptism (Part 3)
"Although in the text and order of the words, baptism doth here go before remission of sins, yet doth it follow it in order, because it is nothing else but a sealing of those good things which we have by Christ, that they may be established in our consciences; therefore, after that Peter had intreated of repentance, he calleth the Jews unto the hope of grace and salvation; and therefore, Luke well afterwards, in Paul's sermon, joineth faith and repentance together in the same sense, wherein he putteth forgiveness of sins in this place, and that for good considerations; for the hope of salvation consisteth in the free imputation of righteousness; and we are counted just freely before God when he forgiveth us our sins." (Calvin on Acts 2:38).
I do not think Calvin's words here can be reconciled with Dr. Owen's view. Indeed, Calvin anticipates the point he will make here (i.e., that baptism follows the remission of sins) in a statement he makes about baptism when commenting on the word "repent" in this same passage vis-a-vis Luke 24:47: "He putteth baptism in the fourth place [after repentance, remission of sins, and preaching in His name], as the seal whereby the promise of grace is confimed." Now there is wide agreement that Calvin's view on this is difficult to nail down. And I will concede that Calvin does not hold my view of baptism; that much is clear from his comments elsewhere (see his comments, e.g., on Gal 3 and Rom 4). But neither do I think he held Dr. Owen's view of baptism. Dr. Owen believes that baptism is the instrument of justification, and I don't think that view can fairly be attributed to Calvin.

I have my reasons and my posts are generally directed to one person, the former boyfriend. Look, couples have different ways of resolving conflict. This is how I deal with mine. I don't judge your choice, I think you shouldn't with mine. I don't do screaming arguments. I let it sink deeeeeep in me then blast it all out online because I'm chicken like that. BUT my entries are private to a selected, trusted few. Trusted. Like I mentioned previously, if they're not comfortable, remove me.
So really, if you think I'm "a horrible person" to be with, well, guess what, you lucky person, you....I'm not with you and it really isn't your problem how bad my keyboard warrior skills have been/will be.
To zee hubs/former boyfriend who probably won't read this till news gets to him, thank you for the tolerating my crap these 13 years. I'm not perfect and I am trying my damn best to rectify my imperfections, so give me a little time.

I'm sorry that I've abandoned this blog for a bit as I've been rushed off my feet finishing off my final essay, packing my room up, moving back to Leeds as well as starting driving lessons!
I've been experimenting with different nail polishes recently, trying to see what works well with other polishes etc. Months ago I bought "17 Magnetized Nail Polish" in Blue but wasn't blown away by the magnetic effect. However on its own this shade is gorgeous...almost like a denim colour and incredibly shiny (in the pictures below I haven't even used a top coat) On my ring fingers I layered the Nails Inc Nail Jewellery Burlington Arcade over the top of it...this is fast becoming my favourite beauty product, it's fabulous over every shade I've tried with it! Definitely well worth the £11 price tag!
A shopping trip into Leeds earlier this afternoon led me into Primark and I came across these snake print nail foils for £1. I ordered some Nail Rock foils from ASOS but as they are yet to arrive I thought I'd give these ones a go especially seeing as they're so cheap. I'll probably review these on Friday as that's when I next have some spare time, hopefully they'll be alright as a cheap fix.
I'm considering discussing plus size fashion and showing you the purchases I've made in this blog/items I want but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to stray away from the beauty. Does anybody have any thoughts on this?

TITLE: To Sing Frogs
AUTHOR: John M. Simmons
PUBLISHER: Salt Lake City, UT: White Knight Publishing, 2012, (376 pages).
[Note: From time to time, I will review books from independent publishers. Today's review is one of them. Even though I do not share the Mormon faith, there is a good message in this book that deserves to be told.]
There is love and compassion. There is a hunger to do the right thing. There is a deep conviction that amid a world of badness, there is still a chance to bring about goodness. In fact, the company founded by the author, White Knights, is specifically created to help alleviate poverty worldwide in whatever small ways possible. This energetic memoir tells the story of one man and his family, bringing hope through adoption of six children. In the process, Simmons learns not only to bring blessings to others, but through others,
The story of compassion and the sharing of hope, especially to people who begin this life thinking that "the world is a bad place." Yes, there are terrible places in this world. Where there are terrible people, there will be terrible situations. After all, the most biggest challenges in the world are often not technical or philosophical. It is relational. For many orphans in Russia, the world is a gloomy place. Refusing to be discouraged by the mountain of challenges, John Simmons seeks to give at least some of them hope through adoption. With his wife Amy, they have three biological children and have adopted six others. After having four boys, the couple was hoping to adopt a girl within the country. Without much success, they shift their focus overseas, in particular, Russia. Here is where the adventure really begins. Through the memoir, the Simmons describe their adoption experiences, their international travels, their strength to overcome administrative challenges, their observation of life in Russia, and their untiring efforts to make their dream of adopting the girls come true.
This is a very personal memoir, written with much energy and passion. Readers will be amazed to read about the mountain of challenges faced in international adoption. It is so difficult that only the most determined can maintain the high levels of optimism to overcome the different kinds of obstacles placed. If local adoption is difficult, international adoption is even more difficult. Words cannot do justice to the experience of the Simmons. For all the difficult times, just looking at the photographs of smiles and family, I can tell that as far as the author is concerned, it is all worth it. This book helps the author to bring back powerful memories for him, his family, for readers, and for many people who have gone through the adoption experience. Not everyone has the resources or the opportunities like this Simmons. Not everyone can overcome the challenges as well as John and Amy. Yet, with love, it is always worth a try. Be encouraged as you read this memoir that reminds us that when science and intellectual know-how seems impossible, faith takes over. Even though the world is full of challenges, it is also full of the overcoming of challenges.
This book is provided to me free by the publisher without any obligation for a positive review. All opinions offered above are mine unless otherwise stated or implied.
