Jon Bon Jovi Soul Kitchen
Just the other night I was talking about how I wanted to do more than just hashtag the global initiatives and mega charitable organizations my company is affiliated with. Raising dollars at food shows and corporate sponsored silent auctions, and donating food and dry goods from our warehouse that are write off'able are great, but I want to have that indescribable level of humility attached to hands on community outreach. I want to see, feel, and understand firsthand the underserved's struggle, like I did growing up with my dad years ago when I was little. My dad not only knows about food from running a soul food restaurant when I was an unborn baby, but he also started a grassroots program for the homeless and underserved communities in Charlotte, NC that spiraled into a two decade long tradition at his old church of feeding thousands of homeless families every weekend. That level of commitment and love is immeasurable.
Too many times do I go out to eat and too often do I bask in the enjoyment of a home cooked meal by my own hands, rarely remembering that other smaller population, and considering what life would be like if I wasn't afforded these second nature luxuries. Just the other week I very randomly purchased a two pound lobster from the seafood section of the grocery store. Mind you, in all my frugal glory, I still only paid $15.. But in many families $15 is a huge luxury and could do so much, and go so far. It's easy to take these automatic luxuries for granted. Hashtag Lunchbag, an NYC based initiative I just learned about recently by a good friend, both inspired and intrigued me. The $25 I donated on their site is said to have fed 15 people. See how that works? Amazing right? I offered to join as a volunteer, and instantly thought of another organization that I had started researching a while back that I wanted to join after my brother sent me a link – Jon Bon Jovi's Soul Foundation. He has a few programs that fall under the umbrella. One of which is his restaurant – Jon Bon Jovi Soul Kitchen that operates under the premise of pay what you can, or not at all and just volunteer. I absolutely love to see celebrities paying it forward. The smallest gestures in life can go an immeasurably long way. JBJ Soul Kitchen is a very very long way. Awesome to say the least..

"Was the Reformation a success?" requires a carefully nuanced answer. While the Protestant Reformation unquestionably transformed Western Christendom, the fuller story of the Reformation manifests many problems, failures, frustrations and difficulties. It proved to be a significant but flawed product, often victor over opposition but also victim of its own weaknesses. In this regard, the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century was much like any other movement or century in recorded history. Without doubt, what transpired in the sixteenth century was momentous. The claim, though, that it was a success — however vigorously asserted and desperately held by subsequent Protestants — is hard to sustain, if the whole story of the Reformation is kept in mind.

Pros: The V193WB is a widescreen model with a simple set of control buttons on the bottom right-hand corner. Build quality is good, and the unit sits on a solid base. DVI and D-Sub are supported, and the V193WB's automatic calibration was sharp and quick. The menu structures are quite simple. Screen geometry and colour reproduction were crisp and presented well.
Cons: The buttons are labelled, but with black engraving on black plastic, which does make them rather difficult to read unless you're very close to the monitor.
Verdict: Average.

Duke of Edinburgh's 90th birthday marked with service
The Duke of Edinburgh has been praised for his achievements at a service of thanksgiving to mark his 90th birthday.
More than 750 guests joined the Queen and other royals at St George's Chapel, in Windsor Castle, to honour Prince Philip, who turned 90 on Friday.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry were among the guests.
They were joined by representatives from the worlds of sailing, polo, carriage driving and shooting.
Private lunch
The Dean of Windsor, the Rt Rev David Conner made the congregation laugh during his sermon when he told them the Duke of Edinburgh "doesn't like to the praised".
But he said praise was due for the royal who over more than six decades had been the Queen's tireless supporter and associated with or patron of more than 800 charities.
The dean described the prince as "modest" and also mentioned his service and faith.
Members of Philip's Mountbatten family, foreign royals and past and present royal household staff were also in the congregation.
Royals who attended included the Earl and Countess of Wessex, the Princess Royal and husband Vice Admiral Timothy Laurence, and the princess's children, Zara Phillips and Peter Phillips, who was accompanied by wife Autumn.
The Duke of York also attended with his daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
A canapes reception for guests was held at St George's Hall and Grand Reception Room, Windsor, ahead of a private family lunch, where more than 100 guests were catered for.
Later the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry played in a charity polo tournament in aid of disadvantaged African children.
The royal brothers played in the Sentebale Polo Cup - an event in aid of Harry's Sentebale charity.
Harry, 26, was in the Sentebale team, while William, 28, turned out for Tusk Trust team - a conservation charity of which he is royal patron.
Tusk Trust won the tournament in Coworth Park, near Ascot, Berkshire, and William accepted the trophy on behalf of his team as his brother looked on.
The Duke of Edinburgh had treated his birthday on Friday as a normal working day with a reception at Buckingham Place to mark the 100th anniversary of the Royal National Institute for Deaf People, now renamed Action On Hearing Loss.
The Queen conferred the title of Lord High Admiral of the Navy on the duke on the occasion of his 90th birthday.
On Saturday, the Queen marked her official birthday - she was 85 in April - with the Trooping the Colour ceremony in central London. Prince William took part for the first time.

Not All Lenders Will Check Your Credit
People who don't have a good credit rating often live in fear that creditors will check their credit history. Many of the people you do business with will want to look at your credit before they approve you for something or another. Cell phone providers, utility companies, employers, landlords and, of course, lenders will want to check your credit before doing business with you. Once they do check your credit, they will base some of the fees and interest rates they charge you on your credit score.
Your credit score can keep you from receiving opportunities that might otherwise be available to you. You might miss out on credit card offers, loan offers and much more because of your credit score. However, there are lenders that will approve you for loans despite your bad credit. In fact, they may not even perform a check on your credit history.
Bad Credit Lenders
There is an entire group of lenders known as bad credit lenders. They go by a few different names, including payday lenders and direct lenders. They offer guaranteed loans with no credit check, which is great for people whose credit is not very good.
If that describes your situation, then you may want to look to these lenders for the money you need. They may be able to provide you with loans when no one else will.
You could be wondering what bad credit lenders base their loan eligibility requirements on, if they don't use credit as a basis. With bad credit lenders, your credit isn't a determining factor at all. They instead look at what kind of money you make to determine what size of loan to approve you for and whether to approve you for a loan at all. If you don't make enough money, you won't be approved for one of their loans. If you make a decent amount, you can be approved for a decent-sized loan in an instant.
Anyone offering guaranteed loans with no credit check is presenting an opportunity you might not be able to afford to pass up. They could be your best chance at getting the money you need and getting out of debt or paying for a necessary expense quickly.
Choose Your Loan Carefully
You should exercise caution, however, before you agree to any loan. Take time to look at the terms and don't be swayed by the promises of guaranteed loans, no credit check and easy repayment terms. The interest rate should be of the most concern to you. These are where the lenders will get most of their profits. You need to know that the rates will be higher than they would be for loans that are not aimed toward people with bad credit.
However, they could be your only option or your best option. You may not have many other choices, and those high interest rates could be worth paying if you need the money quickly. Keep in mind that you don't have to pay very much in interest if you can pay the loan off quickly.
You should definitely do some shopping around before you sign up for any guaranteed loans with no credit check. You have some options, even when your credit is bad and the bank has turned you down for a loan. Compare rates to get the best one and ensure that you are able to repay the loan on time before you sign for it.
What can I do if I wish to complain? Information about complaints can be found in our complaints policy.
What if I can't keep up my repayments? If you can't keep up with your repayments you must contact your moneylender immediately and advise your struggling with the monthly installments some companies will adjust your monthly installments to reflect what you can afford to pay back on a monthly basis please note that this can also extend your term of the agreement and probably the amount of interest that you end up paying back. You're never advised to just stop paying your agreement as this may result in interest being charged on the agreement and missed payments showing on your file this could make obtaining further down the line a lot more difficult.
What do i do next? Next is the fun bit you need to click on the apply button and fill out our simple online form designed to make sure the whole application as smooth and pain free as possible. The whole application process from start to finished shouldnt take you longer that 3 minutes its as simple as you can get.

Norway is a little late to the theatre scene, but has been making impressive strides. Professional theatre was started here in 1827, but it was not until the last few decades that Norway established a international presence.

Only renowned international producers are allowed to stage their plays here. The theater is funded directly by the Ministry of Culture and Church Affairs.

Buffalo Eats on Midnight Mass, snout-to-tail dinner, coming Bistro Europa events
By Andrew Z. Galarneau
Alli Suriani and Donny Burtless of BuffaloEats.org continue their relentless pursuit of 716 deliciousness with a glimpse inside Midnight Mass.
Held on a Sunday at midnight, the once-a-month dinner at Bistro Europa (484 Elmwood Ave., 884-1100) gives local chefs a chance to show off their moves with Steve and Ellen Gedra. James Roberts of Park Country Club did tonkatsu ramen plus accoutrements, then Ed Forster of Mike A's at the Lafayette did his riff on a fried chicken dinner. It concluded with something called a schmaltz drumstick cupcake. For all the photos and details, click here.
Good luck getting seats to the next Midnight Mass on June 23, featuring Chef Bruce Wieszala, who has his own ship now at Tabree.
If you miss out, Burtless points out two more Bistro Europa specials coming: a $65 four-course beer pairing dinner on June 16, and a $150 farm-to-table dinner June 30 at Oles Farm.
For more evidence of what Bistro Europa can get up to, check out coverage of the snout-to-tail dinner May 19. The Gedras, Wieszala and Carmelo Raimondi (of Lewiston's Carmelo's) turned a T-Meadow heritage breed pig into a meal to remember.
Ben Tsujimoto of Buffalo.com points to a time-lapse video of the kitchen as nine hours of labor is boiled down to 2:20 with a pulsing soundtrack. Stick around to the end and it's just the dishwasher, then you're rewarded with flashes of the dishes the night's customers enjoyed, from cracklins (skin) to trotter, belly, heart, tongue, ear and for dessert, a "brioche de cochon" made with leaf lard, with rhubarb jam.
BuffaloEats has the menu for that event here. If you know of any other outlandish menus upcoming, please do let me know.

Now here's something you don't come across everyday.
All-day Chinese breakfast in Midtown!
Came here to try their hand-pulled "ramen" after reading about them in Grubstreet (here: http://www.grubstreet.com/2014/01/kun... ) and lo and behold, I find out that they have Chinese soy milk and crullers (yiou-tiao), as well as scallion pancakes. All day.
Only sweet soy milk for now -- both cold and hot. I got hot. The crullers were good -- crunchy, warm, and crisp. The salty soy milk (or doa-hwao) is not available currently.
Not haute cuisine, and probably not better than the stuff one can just stumble across in Chinatown, but for the location, it's a sweet deal.
Oh, and the noodles? Good, but the broth was nothing to get excited over.
Did not try the XLB. They looked good enough, and the veggie ones make the Hulk look a bit pale.

Press Release
In 1959, Fidel Castro and his band of revolutionaries declared the establishment of a society that would end racism in Cuba. Castro's camp has often claimed that the Revolution eradicated racism, abolished discrimination and established a racial democracy unique in the world. Yet, nearly 50 years later, many black Cubans still have no position of power in the country. While some maintain that Castro achieved his goal of creating a raceless society, Carlos Moore spent years—some in prison and later in exile—proclaiming that racism was rampant despite the rhetoric.
Pichón: Race and Revolution in Castro's Cuba: A Memoir (Lawrence Hill Books, an imprint of Chicago Review Press, November 2008) by Carlos Moore with a foreword by Maya Angelou chronicles the life of one of the most extraordinary modern-day activists to emerge from Cuba. When Moore was first called a "pichón" as a young boy, he did not know its meaning, but he sensed that the word was more damaging than other insults. He later learned that "pichón" is Cuba's most derogatory term for blacks.
Moore's childhood was marred by poverty, racial prejudice and social exclusion, and Pichón traces his search for purpose in life and the development of his racial and political consciousness. At 15, Moore moved to New York with his father and siblings, anxious to escape the brutal civil war being waged by Batista and Castro and to experience the freedom he equated with America. Shocked by the racial prejudice he encountered in the United States, Moore became involved in the civil rights movement and learned the deeper meaning of the black experience and the importance of truth and justice. As chronicled in Pichón, he was also mentored by some of the era's foremost black intellectuals, including Maya Angelou, Malcolm X, Alex Haley and Aimé Césaire.
Moore returned to Cuba in 1961 with a commitment to Castro's new racism-free state, only to realize that skin color still determined one's treatment. Pichón traces his imprisonment and eventual exile for speaking out against Castro, as well as his return to Cuba over three decades later.
Revealing the most pivotal political moments of the 20th century with fervor and poignancy, Pichón is a devastating yet redemptive account of one man's battles with racism, revolution and resistance, and his uplifting fight for justice, all of which raise consciousness about the human condition.
Carlos Moore was born in Cuba in 1942, the son of Jamaican immigrants. A political scientist and an ethnologist, Moore lectures on race and publishes internationally. His book on controversial African music icon Fela Kuti is forthcoming from Lawrence Hill Books in 2009. Maya Angelou is a renowned poet and civil rights activist.
"Moore has written an astounding book about revolution, resistance, passion, and compassion . . . an irresistibly human tale." —Maya Angelou, from the foreword
"A bold and poignant book by one of the world's most daring intellectuals and scholars . . . Read and marvel, but also read and learn." —Edwidge Danticat, author of Brother, I'm Dying

An Old Man was tired of picking up sticks and called on Death to take him. Death arrived and the Old Man asked him to pick up the sticks. Changed his mind.
Be careful what you wish for.
Eliot/Jacobs Version
An Old Man, bent double with age and toil, was gathering sticks in a forest. At last he grew so tired and hopeless that he threw down the bundle of sticks, and cried out: "I cannot bear this life any longer. Death come and take me!" As he spoke, Death appeared and said to him: "What do you want Old Man? I heard you call me." "Please, sir," replied the Old Man, "would you kindly help me lift this load of sticks on to my shoulder?"
JBR Collection
A poor and toil-worn Peasant, bent with years, and groaning beneath the weight of a heavy faggot of firewood which he carried, sought, weary and sore-footed on a long and dusty road, to gain his distant cottage. Unable to bear the weight of his burden any longer, he let it fall by the roadside, and sitting down upon it, lamented his hard fate. What pleasure had he known since first he drew breath in this sad world? From dawn to dusk one round of ill-requited toil! At home, empty cupboards, a discontented wife, and disobedient children! He called on Death to free him from his troubles. At once the King of Terrors stood before him, and asked him what he wanted. Awed at the ghastly presence, the Old Fellow stammering said, it was nothing more than to have helped once more upon his shoulders the bundle of sticks which he had let fall.
Townsend version
An old man was employed in cutting wood in the forest, and, in carrying the faggots to the city for sale one day, became very wearied with his long journey. He sat down by the wayside, and throwing down his load, besought "Death" to come. "Death" immediately appeared in answer to his summons and asked for what reason he had called him. The Old Man hurriedly replied, "That, lifting up the load, you may place it again upon my shoulders."
L'Estrange version
An old man that had travell'd a great way under a huge burden of sticks, found himself so weary, that he cast it down, and call'd upon Death to deliver him from a more miserable life. Death came presently at his call, and asked him his bus'ness. Pray good sir, says he, do me but the favour to help me up with my burden again.
Men call upon death, as they do upon the devil: when he comes they're affraid of him.
Mors et Pauper
Pauper quidam lignorum fasciculum portabat humeris. Longo deinde itinere fatigatus, onere se levavit, consedit humi, et flebili voce advocavit Mortem. Illa continuo adest, interrogans quid se velit. Respondet pauper, "Humi ut tolleres hunc fascem mihi, huc ego te vocavi."
Adeo in miseris etiam vitae amantes sunt mortales.
Perry #60

I have to admit, I was a bit jealous of the Bear earlier in the week. I mean, some of us have been toiling away for months over here, and he strolls in all casual like and passes us up in progression in just one day! Also, to add insult to injury, he did it on his hunter.
Fortunately, we downed Omni last night for the first time as well, knotting the score, as it were. Not that there's any sort of race going on, just... he hasn't raided in forever. He usually doesn't even write about raiding. And he then steps in. And on a hunter. And. Just. Blech.
Having now experienced it successfully as well, I feel I'm properly prepped to critique his strategy guide. (Okay, it's not a strat guide, I'm just being a little flippant here. Bear with me. HA... get it?)
So, today I proudly present the Campbell's Condensed Soup Version of Big Bear Butt's Bearwall Strategy for the Omnitron Defense System Fight And Stuff.
(The author of this post acknowledges that all trademarks are used without permission and completely without endorsement. Except for Omnitron. They gave their permission. I swear).
Here's the strat:
1. Avoid bad shit.
2. Stand in the circle that looks like Rainbow Road and sing Dreamweaver. And by sing I mean DPS more.
3. /flail
3.5. Switch Targets
4. Avoid bad shit.
5. Run away. Just run away.
5.5. Switch Targets
6. Who's interrupting the.... oh, nvm.
6.25. Switch Targets
8. Avoid bad shit.
9.1. Switch Targets.
9.2. Don't stand in th-Switch Targets.
9.3. Avoid th- Switch Targets.
9.4 Switch Tagets
10. Swi- Nope, they're dead.
11. Yes. All of them.
12. We're sure. You can breathe now.
13. ???
14. Win sweet fiery hood and become a real Warlock. (Thanks Blasty).

A couple of updated informative videos from South Front channel.
The first one is dated to October 19th and explains with nice maps the offensives of the Syrian Army, mentioning that the "Caliph" al-Baghdadi has been injured and moved to Turkey for treatment under US protection.
The second one is dated to yesterday October 23rd and complements the previous outline with some further details.
Of course, the videos have a mild pro-Russian and pro-Assad bias but it's not like we can rely on Western "free media" to get any useful information, so it is necessary to reach out to other sources.

- Chris Cornell formed Soundgarden in 1984
- In 2001, Audioslave hired Chris Cornell and made three albums
- Chris Cornell is also popularly known for his 2007 cover of Billie Jean
Chris Cornell, a native of Seattle, formed Soundgarden in 1984 - he was originally on vocals and drums until a year later, when the band hired a Scott Sundquist as drummer. Soundgarden was among the seminal grunge bands of the early Nineties, producing six albums and hit singles such as Black Hole Sun. Their last album, King Animal, released in 2012 and the single Live To Rise was featured in the first Avengers film.
In 2001, Audioslave was formed when lead singer Zack De La Rocha left Rage Against The Machine, leaving the band in search of a replacement frontman. Chris Cornell was hired and Audioslave made three albums. He left Audioslave in 2007 but there were rumours of a possible reunion this year.
Chris Cornell also formed the tribute band Temple Of The Dog, the other members of which later regrouped as Pearl Jam. He had a tremendously successful solo career and his 2007 cover of Michael Jackson's Billie Jean became massively popular.
The singer is being mourned on Twitter be many celebrity colleagues and friends, including Led Zeppelin co-founder Jimmy Page:

Manchester-based illustrator Rob Bailey has recently launched a new site and it's filled with so many images of his beautifully crisp illustrations. His wonderfully clean and simple style is really refreshing to see, and I particularly like his series entitled Warriors, which is filled with Samurais, Vikings and Roman Legions.
Rob's style is particularly great because of how he can create such powerful images with such a restricted use of shape and of color. His new portfolio has some really great pieces in it that I demand you head over there right now and go check it out!
