Wow. This is weird. I haven't blogged since September. This can only mean one of two things: Either I haven't done anything exciting in the past five months, so I chose not to bother you with another blog, when there are so many other blogs out there- OR: I've done so many juicy things, I'm holding out for a book deal. Ya, that's it…
Last month I got a short blurb written about me in NOW magazine. It hurt my guts. It really did. I'm not proud to say it, but I may have cried, and/or polished off a bottle of wine to myself. Here's what Glenn Sumi wrote:
"The gritty-voiced Christina Walkinshaw was the next to strike out. Her act was scattered and unfocused, touching on unwanted pregnancies, US healthcare and being voluptous in all the wrong parts of her body."
That's me. "Scattered and unfocused." The whole article wasn't about me, of course, but I still got tagged on Twitter in the review. Ugh. I realize it's not the worse thing in the world that could be said of me, but I was upset. My friends came to the rescue, and reassured me I'm not quite the disaster I felt like at the time. Some even called him a "douchebag," but I know they were just trying to make me feel better. So here's the crazy part. Looking back on that day, and the effort I put into that set, I now realize that he was right.
My focus may have gone to a few different locations that day. First, I had to hit McDonalds for a coffee, cuz I was out of Tassimo inserts. How do I let myself get down to zero? I should see 2 or 3 left in the package, and immediately buy more. I would never let myself run out of toilet paper like that. Anyways, I'm really digging McDonalds coffee right now, no big deal. I can buy more Tassimo coffee later.
Then it was off to my day job. Like most of my shifts(I'm a waitress,) I begin by trying on my pantyhose a few different ways, to make sure all the runs are on my back side. People keep telling me to put clear nail polish on the little runs, before they expand into big ones, but I keep forgetting.
After work, I got an exciting phone call, pertaining to a writing job. I was so excited I was jumping up and down, which did not fare well for the runs in my hoisery. I calm down, and immediately decide I will go by new boots to celebrate. Cuz that's how women do it, right? We spend the money way before we actually get the cheque. Also, I know it may sound hacky to be a woman who loves shoes, but I just specialize in boots. The other shoes I don't really care about. I hit The Bay. The Bay always a good selection, and great sales(though they could use some more full length mirrors.) I decide on a pair of Sorels, since they're practical and will keep my feet warm for the winter. I'm so smart, right?
My next stop is Flirty Girl Fitness. Why not keep this good adrenaline up with a quality work out? I decide to take the "Babes With Balls" class, because my favourite instructor Karey is teaching. The class is at 5:30 and is an hour long. I'll be done by 6:30, hop on the streetcar, and get home to shower(or something like it) and be at Yuk Yuk's for my show by 7:45pm. No problemo.
Now, during the course of my day, I obviously checked Twitter at least 20 times. I don't know exactly what my average for Twitter visits per day is, but I bet it's in the 20's. (At least.) I did see that Glenn Sumi was going to be at the show to review the headliner, but I didn't worry about it. I was thinking there was no way he was going to review me, or even pay attention to my set. Whoops. Wrong.
Also, I'm extremely sick of my act right now. I had one new joke that night, which fit no where in my act, but I figured it's Thursday night, I have 6 minutes, I'm not getting paid, and my peers are on the show, and they're probably bored of my act too, so I better try something new. Sometimes I even do my jokes in a different order, cuz I think that will make them seem fresh again. Even with 15 minutes left to showtime, I was still unsure of what jokes to do, but I didn't exactly use my time today very wisely, did I?
I open with my edgiest joke. I never do that outside of Toronto, but since I was downtown, I can get away with it. Of course, tonight the whole crowd's from out of town. Oops. It's a combination of laughs and offended moans, but more of the latter. Oh well. I get through my set, get some laughs. Not the worse set, but definitely not the best. I'm happy when it's done, cuz then I can concentrate on having drinks with my girl comic friends, which is what I was really pumped for on this particular evening.
Two days later, I was driving back from a gig(well, I wasn't driving, the other comic was-this detail probably not neccessary, but I don't want you to envision me driving down the 400 staring at my iphone.) I do one of my many Twitter checks of the day, and I see the tweet with my name in it, steering people towards the review of Thursday nights show. FACK! He did review me. I knew even before I opened it what it was going to say. Yikes. What is that trite expression again? You can fool some of the people all of the time…
Glenn Sumi can not be fooled. For all I know, I left the price tag on the Sorels and he spotted it. (Though I don't recall buying the floor model, so I doubt that was the case. The price tag would have just been on the box.)
"Scattered and unfocused?" Me??????????!!!!!! I was stunned. Hurt. Upset. I held in my tears all the way home from Huntsville, and if you have a cottage, you know how far that is to hold in tears for. When I walked in my apartment, I immediately started balling. (Not balling like showing off money. Balling like everybody in the movie theatre at the end of "Big Fish.") My friend Amanda came over, breaking her two week streak of not drinking(sorry ABP,) and we vented about comedy and the idea of critiquing comedy for hours. By the end of the day, and the bottle, I was starting to forget about it.
That was over a month ago. The good news is, I haven't forgotten about it. Instead, I'm choosing to learn something from it. I really don't work as hard as I could. The fact that this blog hasn't been updated in five months is proof of that. I waste soooooo much time, and as fun as that is, I'm 33 and still waiting tables. I could change that with a respectable amount of effort. Had I sat down for an hour that day, and worked on my set for that night, I might have impressed Glenn Sumi too. The fact is, I didn't do that. I was busy debating whether I should go to The Bay or Town Shoes.
Bad reviews always suck in the moment, but looking back on them can actually make you laugh. In 2002, I was in Star Magazine, doing my robot dance for Simon Cowell. It's not exactly my claim to fame, but the article and pictures they printed were cute, and mentioned I'm a stand up comic. But I guess when I signed off on those pictures, they sold them to other publications. My friend from England called me, laughing hysterically. He saw the same pictures of me in News of the World, but the headline read "DREADFULL WANNABE!" I was mortified. I went to the newstand to see if I could find it in my city and I did. Yikes! I put it back on the shelf. I was definitely NOT buying that. Nobody on this continent reads that magazine anyways. But looking back, I wish I had bought it. It's hilarious! Why was I so embarrassed? It's just one paper's opinion. And to be fair, my robot dance has come a long way since then.
So I think I learned something from this experience(the review of my comedy, not my robot dance.) You have to work at something if you really want to be great at it. Even if means sacraficing and afternoon of watching Slice, or a trip to that pub with 25 flavours of wings(That's right! 25 FLAVOURS!!! Impressive.) I hope my defense for that review stands stronger than my arguement that Maroon 5 is a great band, or why Ke$ha is good in concert. These are verbal fights I lose daily, and thoughts that may further my reputation for being "scattered and unfocused." But what can I say? A month later, I'm kind of embracing it.
P.S. I still haven't bought Tassimo inserts.

All the trikes affected were manufactured between July 24, 2013 and September 2, 2013. The recall is due to an incorrectly machined part which may result in allowing the motorcycle to have an "excessive steering angle" allowing the inner fairing to contact the brake fluid reservoir resulting in a loss of brake fluid." There is also a possibility that the steering damper may be damaged as well.
The loss of brake fluid would reduce brake performance and the damage to the steering damper could reduce the rider's ability to handle the bike and either one of these scenarios could increase the likelihood of a crash. Harley-Davidson will be notifying owners. Authorized dealers will inspect the affected trikes and, if necessary, replace the fork stem bracket free of charge. Trike owners may contact Harley-Davidson directly at 1-800-258-2464 (Recall number 0152)

Seems like the MoCo is having a rash of production problems. In
Stead of Rushmore they should have Rushless! Indian is sure making them crazy.
Nov 10th, 2013 at 7:24 pm
True, not a single recall on the Indian trikes 😉
Nov 11th, 2013 at 7:40 am
Recalls happen all the time with manufacturers. Some are major and some minor, but lets not act like no one else has ever had to do a recall. The noted an issue and they are dealing with it, good for them that is how it is done.
Nov 11th, 2013 at 8:15 am
Architect-I agree with your point that all have recalls. But that is all I agree on, HD has a history of everytime they come out with something, it fails the first year. I believe this is in part to their arrigance of "they know alll and the aftermarket is a bunch of losers" that is until they need them to find a remedy for the HD problem. Lets just cite a few from only a few decades back '99 bastard year baggers, the first twin cam had a cast gear with a single tooth to hold it, next year forged w/splines-like Andrews has. 08 FLy by wire, had to fix all the "little issues". 09 ABS had poor stopping and bike shake. and now w/water cool leaking issues and the hydro clutch issue. Bonus Question how many "do not ride your bike recalls have ever been issued?"
Nov 11th, 2013 at 8:19 am
So maybe I am misreading this, but was HD's announcement referring to the fairing lowers?
Nov 11th, 2013 at 7:46 pm
No they moved the master for the rear brake up,to the neck of the bike for some reason
Nov 12th, 2013 at 6:48 pm
I would say its not about the recall but more about how you\they handle the recall…Big Bear sets the bar for how not to handle it.
Nov 12th, 2013 at 9:23 pm
Gotta agree with Tim on this. It'd be one thing if this was some startup with limited funds for testing and engineers with paper routes on the side until paychecks are regular, but this is a company with every tool needed to do things right. On top of that, many of the "changes" are barely more than book edits and they still find a way to look like they just phoned it in. The whole twincam rollout was an embarrassment with other companies still saying "thanks once again" selling gear kits to replace the chains & tensioners IF you don't have too much runout. Not like it's their first V-Twin.

Skip to comments.The Race Detective discovers racist comments about Whitney Houston
Posted on 02/13/2012 6:04:31 PM PST by agooga
The Race Detective makes a huge discovery again! At the Fox News article about Whitney Houston, he discovers racist comments. Whats odd is that I have seen Whitney Houston threads at various Conservative sites. Not once have I seen racist sentiments directed toward the death of Ms. Houston. But as we know, the Race Detective has henchmen like Killgore Trout and Hoosier Hoops who plant racist comments. Once again, The Race Detective is tipped off by posters and discovers racist comments!
Then this nut started banning people. I was one of the first to go because I wouldn't kiss his @$$.
That is quite alright with me, however. I see no need to scrape and bow to some semiliterate creep.
Also, he tried to smear Jim Thompson of the Free Republic of making secret code words for a violent riot.
People say stupid crap on the internet? Who knew?
OMG, he was the guy who started the Jim Thompson thing? Pure troublemaker.
Meanwhile our "post Racial" president has kicked of African Americans for Barrack Obama.
Many black critics complained that her music was "too White" and that she was selling out.[5] Some noted that her singing on record lacked the soul that was present in her concerts.[25] At the 1989 Soul Train Music Awards, when Houston's name was called out for a nomination, the audience booed her.
I am shocked, they plant comments...../sarc
If they can't find any racist comments, they'll make some up.
Who's gullible? Sick.
Yup. So typical. But they can't be racist. Nah.
Is that the same Charles Johnson from LGF?
Also, he tried to smear Jim Thompson of the Free Republic of making secret code words for a violent riot.
Do you mean Jim Robinson, FR's founder? I only found one post by Jim Thompson plus, people that make racist statements here don't last an hour.
"Who's gullible? Sick."
Are you saying I'm gullible for having liberal friends? Too bad. I like liberals— they're more interesting people than conservatives.

by Anne Bronte
If you've read Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre or The Tennant of Wildfell Hall by the three Bronte sisters you might expect a Romantic epic with sweeping moors and mysterious architecture, but Anne Bronte's story of a girl from a poor family who sets out to earn her way as a governess is less adventurous and more introspective.
The titular character's experiences in the homes of two separate wealthy families feels authentic because they are based upon Anne's own experiences as a governess. I often felt while reading passages that were particularly critical of the children in her care that Anne must have had pulled the dialogue from her memory. In particular, the character of Rosalie seems drawn from life to the point that I wondered anyone recognized who she really was.
The story is not as fast-paced as The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (also based on real people--her own brother's profligate lifestyle supposedly prompted the character of Arthur Huntington) but the novel is insightful. Agnes' observations of the middle class could rival Jane Austen's in shrewdness and wit.
Though not my favorite story by Anne or her sisters, it is a rich book gathered from an interesting life by an author of obvious talent and depth.

Don't buy microphones you'll be disappointed in. Save up for the real things you want and patch, borrow, etc in the meantime.
I'll take a different position.Live recording is a hobby. I don't agree with waiting until you can afford top name mics. You can get just as much enjoyment out of the hobby with a starter set of mics.another thing to consider is what type of shows you attend. if you just attend Phish, Dead & Co., JRAD, etc., then you know you will be able to find an AUD on bt.etree or archive.org. I go to at least a dozen local shows a year where I am the only taper. even though I've upgraded my mics at this point, I still go back and listen to shows where I was the only taper using bsc1 mics.your future rig will sound awesome, but it doesn't mean you can't enjoy the hobby with a lesser rig until that time. I'd look at it as count how many shows you saw in the last year where no one was recording. as a grad student, that number may be low for you, but if it is not, I'd buy jcable's mics
Beyerdynamic MC930 matched pair, includes clamps and calibration charts.$800 - $1000 street price new, can't beat these for sound, quality and value.These are great for both PA and studio work...
Of course, I also think the AT4031 route is a great option because I fell in love with them after hearing the BD recordings.ETA: I am looking forward to your input on some of the more technical threads on here (though I imagine most of it will be over my head).
You may be able to find a used set of Peluso CEMC6 with the cardioid capsules for close to that amount - they are fantastic mics with an open, airy, Neumann type of sound with lots of clarity. Best inexpensive SDC on the market. The subcard caps are the (.)(.)EDIT - if you have access to a studio do have access to borrowing something decent until you save up for what you want? Also - avoid the Samson and Behringer mics at all costs. Too many inconsistencies in the manufacturing process and parts supply (like - we are out of this resistor let just us this one instead ). Sequential serial number same model mics can sound completely different.

Quote from: illconditioned on December 01, 2017, 08:34:08 AMBeyerdynamic MC930 matched pair, includes clamps and calibration charts.$800 - $1000 street price new, can't beat these for sound, quality and value.These are great for both PA and studio work...Agreed these are nice mics, but above the stated price level for consideration. Given how much I liked my Beyer MC950's, I keep wondering if the Beyer TG I53C or its predecessor the MCE 530 mics give somewhat comparable performance at a lower price. The TG I53C or MCE 530 fixed cardioids can be had for $200-300 a pair or so new. They don't seem to be used or discussed much here, but given their Beyerdynamic pedigree, I wonder whether they might make a nice, low-cost mic for concert recording. Made in Germany too, not China.
Well firstly, thanks for the warm reception everyone, as well as the fantastic recommendations so far. For the record, I've reached out on those 4031s and will try to get them, and if it goes through with the money I save I'm thinking of buying a Naiant stereo IPA to run noahbickart's spare Schoeps capsules into the external line in on the DR-40.
I'll probably pick up a matched pair of CM3s in the new year, and then start saving for a matched pair of either DPA 4011s, Schoeps mk22s, and/or Schoeps mk5s. In the meantime I will definitely be patching or borrowing capsules with the Naiant. [snip] The busmans definitely look interesting, I'll consider those and a pair of CM3s as backups if the 4031 deal doesn't pan out.
Yeah, I really liked those AT4031 recordings too, especially after I eq'd them a bit - being a studio jockey I know my way around parametrics and bus EQ's pretty well. And it isn't necessarily over your head - if I'm worth my weight in salt, I can break down complex topics into more easily-understood terms and concepts.
Good to invest in microphones fully before spending funds on fancy recorders and ancillary gear. All the other stuff mostly just needs to work right. Most of the magic mojo we have control over is found in recording location, the microphones and how you choose to set up the microphones. BUT before you outline too much of a future microphone acquisition plan, consider what, where, and how you plan to record, assuming you have a clear idea of those things (you might not at this point). Are you always going to be in big venues? Do you plan to do any stage-lip or on-stage recording in small clubs? Do you plan to mess around with 3, 4, or more microphone arrays or stick with straight 2-channel configurations? Do you want a pair of mics with which to record everything or are your more of a "horses for courses" type guy who might choose an entirely different microphone pattern and stereo configuration once you get to the venue and scope out the situation?Those things will determine what microphone patterns you'll be likely to get the most use out of. You probably won't need multiple sets of cardioids for instance, so it makes sense to think about an upgrade or microphone acquisition path which gives you the most flexibility to accommodate the type of taping you plan to do without simply replacing a set of decent cardioids with a better pair of cards, and then do that yet again. For instance, I suspect a follow up pair of omnis or super/hypercardoids is likely to expand your options more than a second pair of more expensive cardioids.
Also consider what type of person and taper you are. Which is a bigger motivation for you- recording so as to quickly and easily sharing your recordings, or figuring out how to make the best recording you can? Would you be just as happy with someone else's good recording made with better gear than you would be with yours (and the learning process you went through to make it)?If you plan to record more than two channels, there are two different viable main approaches, both of which I use and recommend- 1) Record two separate stereo pairs for comparison purposes. Basically a known baseline standard and whatever new you want to try. This is the best way to really get a handle on what different mics sound like, what different mic configurations sound like, etc, by way of eliminating most other extraneous variables. If you want to play around with mixing them and like how it sounds, great. But recognize that the primary intent is a good basis of comparison for deciding where you want to go. There are better ways of using four channels if the intent is to make a single recording, which brings me to approach #2) Making a three, four or more channel recording with the intention of mixing that to a single 2-channel stereo recording. This is more complicated and more work, but provides enormous advantages, opening up options and possibilities which avoid many of the compromises inherent in recording with a simple stereo pair. This is where live performance stereo recording and studio stereo recording techniques really part ways, the main difference being techniques to accommodate distance, less than ideal situations, and the oddity of recording a PA within a reverberant room, along with a live audience, while keeping everything in balance. Using different pickup patterns in combination with non-conventional microphone setups opens lots of opportunities there.A good bit of that choice in approach concerns what type of taper you are, what type of things you enjoy playing around with, and how prolific you plan to be as a community taper. The first approach is the more conservative and well-trod path, its more straight-forward, quicker and simpler. If you plan to tape a lot and up-load your recordings quickly, or aren't really interested in the technical stuff, its best to keep the setup and mixing work as simple as possible. The second is a more creative approach, and a good fit for those interested in figuring out how and why acoustics work the way they do in pursuit of leveraging that to make the best recording possible. There is no right or wrong choice here.
QuoteYeah, I really liked those AT4031 recordings too, especially after I eq'd them a bit - being a studio jockey I know my way around parametrics and bus EQ's pretty well. And it isn't necessarily over your head - if I'm worth my weight in salt, I can break down complex topics into more easily-understood terms and concepts. This is a huge advantage. Most live music tapers start out choosing mics based upon cost and their native response and have very little knowledge about the power of EQ to greatly level the playing field. My favorite microphones are not necessarily the ones which have a native response I prefer over all others, but are the ones which are relatively free of resonances, have well-behaved off-axis responses, and have a smooth response which I can easily shape into what I want out of the resulting recordings made in different situations. To my way of thinking, a primary aspect of good mics are those which provide that kind of easily EQ'able flexibility. And on the flip-side, those which do not "take EQ" well, are not good mics, irregardless of price or pedigree. But I'm less of a keep it simple, tape it and bag it type archival taper and am more into exploring they "whys", "hows", and ways of improving things.Hope that helps.

Raleigh, NC, July 2013 – Beyond Electronics, a technology leader providing rugged, real-time computing solutions to OEMs and system integrators, has introduced a conduction cooled VMEbus FLASH memory board targeted at obsolescence replacement.

Council OKs plan that some think could be a candidate for Obama public works funds
The Portland Tribune, December 17, 2008
Portland city commissioners agreed Wednesday to replace the decrepit central parks maintenance facility and nursery at Mt. Tabor Park.
The project, pegged to cost $63 million to $68 million, would upgrade the antiquated facilities used by more than 100 city employees to maintain the entire city parks system.
City Commissioner Nick Fish, who is about to take command of Portland Parks and Recreation, said the new facility is a perfect candidate for a "shovel-ready" public works project that might attract funding in an economic stimulus package promised by President-elect Barack Obama.
Mt. Tabor resident John Laursen, part of a large citizens committee that helped shape the project, described the working conditions as "like something out of Charles Dickens." The complex of warehouse and office space on Southeast Division Street and 64th Avenue is considered unsafe and inefficient for workers and heavy equipment.
Use of the 13-acre complex dates back a century, when Mt. Tabor Park was created. It has been expanded in a hodge-podge fashion in the ensuing decades.
Some of the buildings lack proper heating and ventilation, and fail to meet modern standards for fire safety and access for people with disabilities. The complex is short on bathrooms and other amenities.
The project, designed by Opsis Architecture, adds a second driveway on Division Street so tractors and other heavy vehicles can safety enter and exit. It includes a new pedestrian and bicycle path into the park, via Division Street near 64th.
The project also includes a demonstration community garden at the adjoining central nursery, where the Parks Bureau grows plants that are later relocated to city parks.
The parks bureau had struck a largely secret deal in 2006 to sell the same site to Warner Pacific College, and seek a new locale for the maintenance yard. But the plan was dropped when Mt. Tabor neighbors got wind of the sale –– which city officials initially denied was under consideration.
Out of that controversy, the city agreed to hire a mediator to work with neighbors on a new plan, which involved rebuilding the maintenance yard and nursery at the existing site. The resulting design was vetted by a large work group made up of neighborhood activists, city employees and others.
"I've been enormously impressed by the conscientious efforts of the Parks Bureau to involve the public," Fish said Wednesday, after the City Council approved the proposed project. "It's long overdue that we gave (city employees) a workplace that is safe and inviting."
The resolution adopted Wednesday requires the city to come up with a financing plan by June. One oft-mentioned plan is to put a parks bond before voters, and at least partially fund the maintenance yard with some of the proceeds.

She had two passions in her life - digging and stealing. She had a formidable talent for excavating the deepest holes, often in the most awkward places. Last year she gouged out a series of deep chasms just inside the entrance to the main run. She carefully placed them in two rows, leaving a narrow path in the middle for our use. "Walking the straight and narrow" took on a whole new meaning. Stray off the path and stumble into one of Irene's craters, and you might never be seen again!
You also took a chance if you stood behind her when she was in quarrying mode. She had a very forceful kick. We've seen her send earth and stones arcing across the garden, to land yards away from where it started. And if digging was precluded for some reason, she would get what she wanted some other way. For instance we had stacked some wooden blocks on a concrete ledge that runs along the bottom of our fence. Irene was convinced there was corn hidden beneath them, but the ledge was too narrow for her to stand on and kick the blocks off. So she hooked them off with her beak and then kicked them across the lawn.
|Irene considers the apple Tu-Tu has is rightfully hers!
We shall miss Mad Irene enormously, but what joy and laughter she brought into our lives.

Danny de Zayas and his fiancee have started a collaborative internet art project called Haiku for You.
Danny says "Visitors to the site submit stories or topics which are then turned into miniature works of art in the form of visual haiku. The finished pieces are a mixture of illustration, painting, photography, and digital art, and the juxtaposition of approaches and content makes for an engaging potpourri of styles and sensibilities. I'm personally fascinated by the creative potential and interactivity of the internet and am really excited to be producing this in conjunction with our users."
For example, the haiku pictured above was inspired by a guy that had to apologize to the neighbors below his apartment for leaving his shower on and flooding them.

A Pinoy @ The Movies: Pirates of the Carribean - Dead Men Tell No Tales
Javier Bardem is one of the best actors out there. If you saw James Bond's Skyfall, he was so good as the bad guy they gave him the honor to kill 'M' (Judi Dench) as a reward.
Here, in Dead Men Tell No Tales, the latest installment of the Pirates of the Carribean franchise, Bardem is Capitan Salazar, a ghostly Spanish-speaking captain who, after educating the audience on how to properly pronounce his name in Spanish: 'sa-la-thár' (si, the 'z' has the 'th' sound in Espańol), would destroy an enemy pirate ship and kill all, except one, on board. He would spare the life of one pirate so he could to tell whatever happened to the ship, because, he says, "dead men tell no tales".
Other than the Dead Men Tell No Tales title, it's also known as Salazar's Revenge, which immediately reminded me of the best hopia in the Philippines: Salazar hopia! Ha-ha-ha! So, you can just imagine me sitting at the movie house eating my cheesy hotdog with upsized Coke, while thinking I was biting the yummy Salazar hopia every time Capitan Salazar showed up on screen.
Although Geoffrey Rush, an Oscar winner, and Johnny Depp, an Oscar-nominee, are very good actors, in this installment, however, Javier Bardem, with his floating hair, Edward Scissorhands-ish make-up, and deep Spanish accent, carried the movie.
Will Turner's son, Henry, played by Brenton Thwaites, and Kaya Scodelario, a scientist accused as a witch, had the most fun with the action scenes. Do watch out for scenes on Jack Sparrow and Kaya's execution. The stunt choreography was very creative and entertaining.
This is what I like with this franchise. It's always an all-star cast, where there is hardly a weak link among the actors. Each is allowed to shine, but some just naturally outperform others.
Orlando Bloom, after having been trapped under the ocean, resurfaced after ten years to reunite with Keira Knightley at the end of the movie. Thankfully, she wasn't allowed to deliver long lines, or Capitan Salazar would have killed her himself. Ha-ha-ha!
Do catch Dead Men Tell No Tales, and perhaps, you can probably bring along the real Salazar hopia to munch while you watch.
Just don't forget how it's properly pronounced. Ja-ja-ja!

2 Teens Killed in Newark Shooting, 3rd Critical
Newark officials say two teenagers have been shot and killed and a third is in critical condition in the northern New Jersey city.
Acting Essex County Prosecutor Carolyn A. Murray and Newark Police Director Samuel A. DeMaio say a 13-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy were fatally shot Christmas night. Both were pronounced dead at a local hospital. They say a third young victim has been hospitalized in critical but stable condition. That teen's gender was not immediately known.
The names of the victims have not been released.
The Star-Ledger newspaper reports that the shootings happened around 10 p.m. Wednesday not far from Interstate 78 and Irvington, a neighboring city.

Unconventional is Yahoo News' complete guide to what could be the craziest presidential conventions in decades. Here's what you need to know today.
Unconventional has been reporting for some time now on the concept of disgruntled Republicans dumping presumptive nominee Donald Trump at the Republican convention that begins in Cleveland on July 18. Last month, we dug deep into the GOP rule book — and the party's history — to figure out whether deep-sixing the Manhattan mogul is even possible at this point. (Short answer: It is.) And later, we explained what would have to happen between now and Cleveland to convince Republicans to go through with it.
But there were never any actual delegates, you know, plotting to wrest the nomination away Trump at the convention. It was all just speculation.
Until now.
On Friday, the Washington Post reported that dozens of Republican convention delegates had hatched "a new plan" to block Trump in Cleveland — a plan, according to the Post, that amounted to "the most organized effort so far to stop the businessman from becoming the GOP presidential nominee."
At the time, the latest Dump Trump cabal was fairly small. Roughly 30 delegates from 15 states participated in a conference call Thursday night, with Republicans from Arizona, Iowa, Louisiana and Washington signing on as regional coordinators. A Christian schoolteacher and rules committee member from Colorado named Kendal Unruh — a former Ted Cruz supporter — was leading the charge.
|LINK: Kendal Unruh FTD
Since then, however, Unruh's campaign appears to have picked up steam. A second conference call on Sunday night attracted an alleged 1,000 participants. Unruh & Co. claimed that "several hundred delegates and alternates" had now rallied to the cause. The group announced plans raise money for staff and a possible legal defense fund. And they even gave themselves a name: Free the Delegates.Read the rest of the story HERE.

We've been back for over a week now, and although we're physically present our bodies still seem to think that we're in Hong Kong. Nightly ten-plus hour sleep sessions seem to have no effect on when dizziness and fatigue set in. Around 10:00 or 11:00 AM local time, the mind starts to wander and the body grows weak anticipating bedtime. I guess it's been a long time since I've flown, or maybe I'm getting older – it seems much more difficult to adjust than ever before.
Speaking of adjustments, there are a few things that I've adjusted to right off the bat: the weather, of course, and the air. Gone is the heat, humidity, and thick air. Even if I have to put on a jacket in the middle of a San Francisco summer, at least I'm able to take a deep breath without tasting it at the same time. On the other hand, without air conditioning everywhere, it takes longer to cool down going from outside to inside. After getting hot and sticky or sweaty from walking (or simply from forcing your body to stay awake against its will), the "talcum powder effect" that we experience in a place like Hong Kong with air conditioning everywhere is noticeably absent here, especially on a humid day like today.
Another thing that's noticeably absent is cell-phone coverage. Having gotten used to saturation coverage in tiny Hong Kong, it can be frustrating encountering the dead spots that inevitably exist in the relative vastness of the SF Bay Area. When there is a signal, however, the connection is faster for me here than it was in HK (T-Mobile 3G vs. One2Free 3G).
Conversely, home internet speeds are a lot slower for me, going from 300 megabit fibre to 10 megabit/768 kilobit ADSL, but of course that's just my own circumstance and not indicative of anything. Still, it's difficult for me to even type those numbers out, the difference being so huge (especially the upload speed). My family pays more for our DSL than we paid for fibre back in HK. Again, it's not really something that can be compared, but I like to do it anyway. 😉
Some other things: sleeping on a bigger bed, using cash instead of Octopus to pay for stuff, and the silence. That's another really noticeable thing, the quietness of the ambient environment. The lack of double-decker buses rumbling by is probably the biggest reason. That buildings (and people) are less densely packed together is probably another. That reminds me of another difference: it's much darker here at night than it is in Hong Kong, though daylight savings does nullify that a little bit.
As I've been telling everyone who asks me which place I like better, the answer is that each place has it's own benefits and drawbacks. 各有各好. I don't have kids, but maybe it's like asking a parent which kid is their favorite. Or perhaps, being in love with two different women. There's just no way to choose. Maybe someday we'll go back to Hong Kong, but we are here now and it's time to start a new chapter. We'll continue to ride that wave called life and see where it takes us. For now, good night, or good morning, whatever the time is.

Men In Panties Showdown: Cotton Bikini Cut Panties For Men vs Nylon Bikini Cut Panties For Men
How you like that headline hmm? Seen one as long as that? Not in a long time, I'll warrant. It has been suggested to me by various reliable sources that bikini cut panties are some of the best panties a man can wear. Not only do they provide full coverage in the front and back which makes them both comfortable and sensual, but they also expose the thigh in a sexy sort of fashion, creating a sexy look. With bikini cut panties a man really can have his cake and eat it too.
(Bonus prize to anyone who can explain to me in the comments what the heck "having your cake and eating it too" actually means, one would think that having one's cake would be the prime situation for being able to eat it. If you didn't have it, if it was, say, abducted by aliens, how would you eat it? But I digress.)
The question is, should men wear nylon bikini cut panties, or cotton bikini cut panties?
Nylon Bikini Cut Panties
Nylon, the favorite of many a man in lingerie, and can we blame him? No, nylon feels so silky smooth against the skin, is pretty to look at, and is capable of fufiling all types of men who wear lingerie (the ones who want to feel girly, the ones who like the look of it, and the ones who like the feel.) One might think that nylon bikini cut panties would be all a man would ever need, but still cotton bikini cut panties continue to exist. Why? Why can cotton not give way to the material of the future, nylon? Nylon will not biodegrade nearly as quickly as cotton, making it the perfect panty material for men who plan on surviving an apocalypse scenario with their lingerie collections intact well into the 25th century.
Cotton Bikini Cut Panties
Cotton bikini cut panties are soft and cute. They breathe nicely, allowing you to live an active lifestyle and still wear sweet, feminine lingerie. Some men prefer cotton panties because they have a softer and more natural texture to them than nylon panties. They like the fact that they can purchase cotton panties which were grown organically, unlike Nylon panties which are created in the very bowels of man's mechanical hell. They like the fact that cotton panties have an innocence to them, unlike nylon panties which seem to be unable to resist the urge to be lewd and sensual given the slightest opportunity.
The Winner?
One could, of course, always purchase both cotton panties and nylon panties and enjoy the benefits of both on alternating days. However I fear this goes against mankind's inclinations to pick sides, draw lines and engage in fierce battles.
So men, go forth and battle in the comments... which shall be the victor, cotton or nylon?
Nylon - definitely! The feel is the best, plus nylon doesn't hold moisture like cotton does.
My chest of drawers and cedar chest indicates the answer to this question is nylon. I do like cotton panties too, just not as much as nylon by far.
I love nylon panties. Hi cut and briefs. I wear them 24/7 and love it.
I myself like both the cotton and nylon panties. I have each. I wear the cotton ones more often, I do like the bikinis.
I gotta go with nylon or silk panties. Love the feel and the way they make me feel good. Just find cotton not sexy at all. but to each his own
I love both, at the same time. Often I'll wear cotton briefs for soft comfort, with nylon briefs over them for the silky feel and my pants slip and slide without "sticking" cotton to cotton. For me, the best of both worlds!
Well, I really don't like bikinis, I prefer the Hi-cut or French style and like cotton in this South Carolina heat but do enjoy the nylon/spandex combinations too. If I have to pick solely nylon or cotton, it would be cotton.
Can't I have both nylon and cotton bikinis!? Personally I like wearing the nylon panties at home at night or when I need to dress nicely, but cotton bikinis are good when getting active. Add some lace and maybe a little bow :) Score
Nylon of Course! Not even close! I don't and won't ever own any cotton panties!
vanity fair hicut nylon panties are my first choice for comfort and style
I prefer nylon most of the time, they are smoother, lighter and thinner wih some semi see-thru..........
No question, nylon. Comfortable, good looking, excellent coverage in the back and it rarely rides up to make your -ahem- boy parts uncomfortable. I know cotton "breathes" and all, but give me nylon if I'm going to wear lingerie...otherwise, they're just underpants!
Like any clothes there is a fabric or a fashion for all occassions and moods. For sensousness there is silk, satin and nylon. For comfort there is nylon mixed with spandex and other multiway stretch fabrics. For hot weather there is linen and egyptian cotton and for very cold weather there is knitted cotton.
Chose the moment and the occassion and there is a perfect fabric and a pair of panties to match.
For me silk or nylon most of the time.
Stretch lycra/elastane nylon first, followed by cotton lycra mix second.
Depends on the individual garment though.
: What is the origin of the phrase: : "You can't have your cake and eat it too" ?
From "Random House Dictionary of Popular Proverbs and Sayings" by Gregory Y. Titelman:"You can't have your cake and eat it too -- One can't use something up and still have it to enjoy. This proverb was recorded in the book of proverbs by John Heywood in 1546, and is first attested in the United States in the 1742 'Colonial Records of Georgia' in 'Original Papers, 1735-1752.' The adage is found in varying forms: You can't eat your cake and have it too. You can't have everything and eat it too; Eat your cake and have the crumbs in bed with you, etc. ..."
I can has bonus points? lol. Please tell me they're redeemable for something OTHER than an "All expenses paid, free trip, AROUND THE ROOM."
Nylon. Feels soo much better. Cotton, still feels like cotton (altho much nicer in panties.)
I have to go with both. I can't choose between the two since they both serve their purposes. Love the panties in the pic.
Nylon wins hands down. I love the feel of them and the look. That's what caught my eye all those years ago, sticking out of the laundry hamper. My wife prefers the cotton for herself for all the reasons above, but prefers mine to be shiny and smooth.
I like nylon more because of the reasons you already stated, but the cotton breath factor is a good thing too.
For me nylon wins, any day.
I will go with cotton because they come in such a variety of colors and patterns, breath great (seeing as i live in Texas that is a big deal), are soft, and just great.
but in no way do i not enjoy wearing nylon.
as a famous person will hopefully one day say
"Nylon, cotton, both are amazing because both are panties!"
-famous person of the future
great hub.
"Both" is the obvious answer to everyone who like to wear panties, male or female. I could extol for hours on the relative merits, but you have done a really good job of distilling it quite a bit. I guess I could make a try at making it just a bit more succinct:
- sensual, slippery over the body.
- More colorful than cotton for a longer period and seems to accept embellishments better, i.e. lace trims, satin overlays, mesh panels... all the little sexy things we like.
- combines well with spandex blends to provide a fit that goes from freckle hugging, mold to your every feature and leave nothing to the imagination smooth and tight, to the free, sheer, blousy, teasing, flattering and just plain gorgeous drape of a fine satin or georgette.
On the other hand, there is cotton:
- also comes in various weights and qualities, from fine supersoft light as air egyptian blends to the more weighty everyday 100% blends that are good for workouts or all day wear on the job.
- b-r-e-a-t-h-e so wonderfully... there is nothing like wearing a pair of light weight cotton panties while having a cocktail on the back screen porch (behind the sheer curtains and all the plants). The matching camisole works with the panty to just wick away the moisture of the late day warmth and sun.
- also are ameniable to various trims, but tend to wear a bit quicker than nylon... in some case this is not a bad thing, like comfy jeans a well worn pair of panties that have stretched to fit your every curve and are thread thinned to be almost transparent... like wearing air under your favorite shorts or pants... or skirt!
As you may have guessed, I firmly sit in the "both" camp... along with silk, satin, mesh and any other fine guage material that can be made into a sexy and satisfying pair of panties.
My vote goes to cotton. I like the breathe factor. Everything stays much cooler with cotton.

(IPI/IFEX) - 17 September, 2012 - Two Gambian newspapers received orders on Friday to immediately cease operations, according to local journalists, in what is apparently the second attempt within a month to censor Gambian media.
"We are very concerned at another apparent effort to censor the Gambian media," said IPI Press Freedom Manager Barbara Trionfi. "We hope that this issue is swiftly resolved so that The Daily News and The Standard newspapers can resume publication."
On Friday, 14 September, three plainclothes officers from the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) visited the offices of The Daily News and The Standard and told them to immediately cease operations, an order that the agents said had come from the office of Gambian President Yahya Jammeh, journalists told IPI by phone today.
Saikou Jammeh, chief editor of The Daily News, and Sheriff Bojang, chief editor of The Standard, told IPI that their papers have temporarily ceased publication until they learn more about the apparent order.
According to Jammeh and Bojang, while the men who visited their offices were known NIA officers, they neither showed identification nor provided any written order for closure.
Jammeh told IPI that, as far as he knows, there are only two legal ways to shut down a newspaper in The Gambia - either with a court order, or on specific police instructions, for example if the newspaper's office was the scene of a crime that is under investigation.
Bojang was similarly unclear about the nature of the order to close his paper. "It was on Friday; we were having some training course at our offices in Bakau, which is about 10 kilometres from Banjul," he told IPI. "Three gentlemen came and said they were from the office of the President and said we should cease with immediate effect." Bojang said he asked the men why they should stop, and for how long they should stop, but was told to "find out from the office of the president."
The newspapers are currently trying to find out more information about the order.
The Daily News is published three days a week, while The Standard is a daily paper. Both privately-owned English-language newspapers have covered sensitive political issues, including the recent execution of nine death row inmates in The Gambia. President Jammeh was heavily criticized by international rights groups for the executions.
It was not immediately clear whether the apparent orders to stop the newspapers were the result of any one issue. "I don't think there is any immediate trigger, although the whole of last week we've been running pretty typical although also balanced opinion on the execution of the nine death row inmates," Bojang said. "Some were very critical. [...] But of course we had people from the government side as well, so we thought it was balanced coverage."
"Ever since they executed those nine people, [the two newspapers] have a lot of people to speak on this issue both locally and internationally," Jammeh said.
This is the second time in a month that the Gambian authorities have censored the media. In August, Teranga FM was shut down after it was warned to stop a program that translated newspaper reports into local languages.

Like the recent declaration by the new Attorney General that the PM did no wrong in receiving the RM2.6 Billion donation from a 'Saudi Royal Family'.
|'Najib done no wrong!' says AG Mohamed Apandi
|'Really aa???' Former AG's thought?
|Apple polishing the incumbent PM has risen to new heights
Even the country's Opposition Members of Parliament are equally shocked by this clearance and closure of the biggest scandal to hit our nation! Watch!
|Annual BERSIH protests have achieved nothing
The most that anyone can do is to exercise one's right to choose every 5 years when the General Elections are held. After the results are in, we can just hope that things will be better for us but the reality is that we are often taken for a ride by the winning candidates.
Gone are the promises, election manifestos and a 1001 assurances that progress will be made. Instead of making our lives better, the incumbent is squeezing every ringgit and sen from us in all ways that he and his equally unreliable cabinet can think of!
Social media activists today have been threatened with prosecution if they dare to criticize the government! Freedom of speech? Forget it! You are free to just obey! Obey! Obey!
Or else ....
There is no such thing as the freedom to speak your mind here in Bolehland! It's not that I advocate the publishing of nonsense or fabricated news r views per se. But to force people to shut the hell up and just swallow whatever B.S. they spew to shut us up is out of the question. We can't accept that!
I do in a way, agree that those who publish falsehood should be taken to task but the public should not be forbidden to raise their concerns freely online as it would truly curtail our freedom and is enshrined in our Constitution of their right to be heard.
Before we had the internet, the people could only write letters to the newspaper editors and raise their views through the mainstream media but then such letters were often very much censored and might not see the light of the day so to speak.
Today, we are able to publish our thoughts but that doesn't mean we can simply say anything we like without thinking of the consequences. We must blog with care, for publishing anything without proper moderation can lead to us getting sued for libel or arrested for spreading falsehood.
Some folks however do like to be involved in controversies. They like to be in the limelight even fr the wrong reasons. If they cant be famous, they have no qualms in getting to be infamous! Hehehehehe... :P
At the end of the day, no matter who does what or gets away with it, you and I will still have to struggle hard to earn our own living. We are not amongst those who were born with a silver or golden spoon in our mouth! We just have to continue to strive in order to thrive.
I just have a feeling that things are not going to remain the same in the next 14th GE come 2018! It would truly be a miracle if the current government still remains in power. After all the 'Now you see it ; now you don't' political theatrics Najib & Co have pulled off after 2013.
The problem is that there are no viable alternative parties we can vote for because even the Opposition guys and gals are as crooked as the prevailing bunch at Putrajaya! What will we do?
Most folks wll probably just not turn up or will spoil their votes by voting for 'Parti Cap Ayam'! :P Is there such a party present? :D
On the other hand, our Nation's revered Statesman, 4th Premier Tun Dr.Mahathir Mohamad laments the fact that Malays forget too easily...

" The wonders of the world are just a brush and canvas away. "
( The Joy in Crafting )
Drawing is not a skill that appeals to me even as a child. If we have a homework or project that requires illustration i will had my uncle do them for me, am just not patient enough. I remember one time my eldest child was younger and was asking my help to draw a pig for his homework and ended up with a sad and confuse look on his face until he started to wail – yes wail! He kept saying that what i draw was not a pig and i had to laugh. But no it doesn't look nor even close to a pig. Then on i knew the curse is still in me :p . But coloring is a different story. I love colors and growing up my parents would always buy me some crayons and coloring materials and am lost into my own world of pinks and purple and red and yellow.
But when your heart is anxious and depression hits, the next thing you'd like to do is run away. Run away from anything and everything that messes up your head. I've been there and done that. Prayers is everything but a little effort can also do the charm – and so my painting journey began.
It was the beginning of 2016 when i first tried my very own acrylic painting. It was a simple subject of black and white. My materials are just cheap brand of acrylic paint (the cheapest price i saw) and i bought only 2 colors. I didn't knew if I'd like it anyway so might as well not indulge. Then i trace a side-view of a woman, just the shape and outline before i filled them in black. This is the stressed part of me, the anxious, depressed, low and dark stages of my life. It looked okay as it is but i wouldn't want to be in dark forever and so I added streaks of white on the silhouette lady. These to me are the streaks of light coming into my life. The possibility of all things great and beautiful, the light of my better future with my loved ones. You need to bring out the light streaks in you to be able to break out from the dark. Dark color will only darken an already dark piece. Life is made of many other colors anyway. There may be black, but so is white. 🙂
Don't be afraid to discover the inner you nor be scared of not making it right. Its just a canvas, there won't be any mistakes but just learning opportunities. So bring out the Picasso in you and start painting the colors of your life with love, hope, faith and positivity.

text: Hi, I exchanged my faulty iPad(dead pixel) with a new one at an Apple Store today(It came out of a replacement box). I went home to restore everything from back up so I kept my data back from my old iPad. So once I restored everything, I went to charge my iPad from my iPhone USB adapter. Am wondering if it makes a difference if I use the iPhone one rather than my iPad one? Or is it just the replacement iPad?

Who is God? Ancient man first drew cave pictures of them-selves, working,hunting, warring,ect. Then appeared pictures of space-ships and alien figures... Suddenly, consciousness seemed to change. Runic letters began to appear, all having their own meaning, only to slip into the sands of time, unrecodnized.
As the centuries and humanity progressed, we have had several Gods. Some slipping into secret, some becoming one. All opposing each other. Who is the true God? Maybe we must look into ourself to find the 'One'. Jesus said his religion was love. "God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. (NLT, 1 John 4:16)"
Thats good enough for me...♥
