It is evident that technology is everywhere, "in different contexts and take a wide variety of forms, but it will affect every one of us, whether we're aware of it or not" (Greenfield 2006:9) due its ubiquity nature.
As technology is so saturated in today's civilization we do not even realise we leave traces of our shopping habits when using loyalty cards, our date of birth on social networking sites and shopping habits when we peruse the internet. Marketers use our online data to send suitable offers (Solove, 2004). Garfinkel concurs stating that "it is no longer remarkable that such detailed profile of a person could be constructed from publicly available sources" (2000:87). This inevitably means that we are being patrolled, as when we are using these technologies we are leaving fragments of our lives (Staples, 2000). Lyon brings up that if in the 1970s we would not have believed we would be monitored to the extent of ensuring we were not loitering however, we have now evolved into an age where by this level of casual surveillance becomes natural (2007).
Due to using these ubiquitous technology, we have become too familiarised and not even recognise it as technology anymore (Greenfield, 2006). This constant stream of surveillance, where no matter what we do we will be watched, eerily mimics George Orwell's novel 1984 (1949). Brin acknowledges this, questioning if we have "entered an Orwellian nightmare?" (1999:4).
Foucault describes in Discipline and Punish (1977) the idea of the panopticon, whereby "a state of conscious and permanent visibility assures the automatic functioning of power" (1977:201). What Foucault describes here is a mechanism of discipline to ensure order. However, Solove claims that the idea of the pantopicon in society is that people obey, not because they are being watched, but the fear of it (2004).
To discuss George Orwell's novel 1984's (1949) impact on society it only seems relevant to include the television series Big Brother, which was based on the Big Brother state Orwell imagined. Big Brother displays a "synoptican form of totalitarianism" (Al-Hakim 2007:106). Jade Goody, a contestant on Celebrity Big Brother 5, became under scrutiny as the public witnessed Goody refer Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetley as "Shilpa Popadom". From the public watching Jade's every action her blight of ignorance did not become unnoticed and she quickly became a hated figure.
However, Jade Goody's case is not unusual, especially with the aid of technology allowing us to send and receive information quicker than before (Bell 2001). People of the public who were not willing to be watched constantly on a game show like Jade Goody, can also be victims. An incident occurred on a subway in Korea where a girl refused to clean up her toy dog's excrement. Due to our technology soaked culture, people were able to broadcast her actions and she quickly became, like Jade Goody, a hated figure. Additionally, she was charmingly dubbed as (and more known as than her actual name) "Dog Shit Girl". Greenfield argues that if "technology had not been in place to record her face and present it for all the world to see (and judge), she would have escaped accountability for her actions" (2006:241). The act of control is not something for government agencies or polices. It can now be ordinary people who can control and possible change your life. We are mimicking the power of the police. (Lyon 2007).
Like "Dog Shit Girl", "My Tram Experience Lady" went viral on Facebook. Since then it is thought "My Tram Experience Lady" has been arrested thanks to the aid of public policing and surveillance.
There are many more examples of citizens mimicking the power of the police, especially online. For instance, now on Facebook we can flag content as "inappropriate" whereby the user will then have to remove the content under Facebook's review. Additionally, there is the Facebook group Spotted:Luton, whereby people are able to post sights that have offended them in Luton. Trotteir investigates policing social media and claims that "any single act of surveillance is amplified in its scope" (2012:414).
Typical Example of a Spotted:Luton post
Here, arguably, are good examples of where constant surveillance has helped put right people's obnoxious, racist actions to rest with justice. So where can it go wrong? Lyon discusses the boom of "nannycams", in that worried mothers are likely to hide webcams to surviell and ensure their hired nannies are providing the sufficient aid for their children (2007). Likewise, neighbourhoods are now more likely to install CCTVs to keep their areas safe. It will be naive of us to assume that we do not live in a racist classicist world, and therefore these acts of surveillance can strengthen the classicist/race divide. It will, mostly be rich women inspecting their lower class help, or white neighbourhood's ears pricking up if they see a non white figure in their area. This mirrors the death of Trayvon Martin too well. Whereby an innocent African American boy who was shot dead by a man conducting a neighbourhood watch on a predominantly white gated community.
To discuss the power of ordinary people operating surveillance is fair to say it is mainly powerful for the ones that are lesser oppressed (such as the upper/middle class) who can utilize these technologies to their best advantage. As Castell claims that technology can indeed by a tool of freedom "but it can make the powerful free to oppress the uninformed" (Morozov 2011:255).
To conclude on my own experience, the company Whitbread, who owns the brand Premier Inn (budget hotels), will survey their brand's Facebook page and TripAdvisor. If they spot negative feedback they will contact the guest (and of course they will have all their information through their guest history data…) to offer compensation for the guest, in return for them to retract their statement on the social networking site. Although this seems ideal for the guest to receive a complimentary gift, it gives the notion that the company assume the public are that easily bought, and therefore, the bigger organisation wins. So although we may feel we have the power that we managed to receive a "cool freebie", did Whitbread not just mimic Orwell's "Thought Police" and survey our own opinions?

REAL Madrid president Ramon Calderon has seemingly conceded defeat in his pursuit of Cristiano Ronaldo after admitting "the most likely scenario" is that the winger will stay with Manchester United.
Calderon will meet United chief executive David Gill today, where it is expected the Premier League side will issue an official "hands off" warning to Real.
The Real president said yesterday the two clubs had not met to discuss a possible transfer of the Portugal star, and claimed he never wanted to cause problems between United and their player.
Later, Calderon revealed the Spanish champions' frenzied pursuit of Ronaldo may now be at an impasse.
"He must love Manchester," Calderon said.
"Once Manchester decide they want to sell and they tell us this, then we will say that we're talking about a transfer.
"But today that's not happening and therefore this is a situation that may end up as it is now, as nothing, and Cristiano Ronaldo will continue at Manchester next year.
"At the moment, that's the most likely scenario. They (United) don't want to sell so we can't do anything."
True to form, Calderon admitted he held out some hope of bringing Ronaldo to the Spanish capital, adding that there may be time to convince United to change their mind before the August 31 transfer deadline.
"Theoretically there's still time (for things to change)," he continued.
"There are two months left until the end of August if Manchester get in touch with Real Madrid and make us an offer."
He added: "But still we don't know if it would be possible to buy him even if they did want to sell."
Reports in Spain suggested United were set to test Real's resolve by offering Ronaldo for around £80m – nearly £12m more than the £67m Real were reportedly prepared to pay.
Calderon admitted that for a player of Ronaldo's calibre such sums were not out of the question, but insisted the figure was merely speculation as the two clubs had never discussed terms.
"This is speculation which may be reasonable given what has happened in the major transfers in football history," he said.
"But we never got round to talking about amounts of money because Manchester never gave us the opportunity to do so.
"He (Ronaldo) said that he would like, that it is his dream, that he would be extremely excited to come to play for Real Madrid.
"But it is a desire of the player that cannot be realised without United's consent."

I was not dead when this happened, nor was I asleep but completely conscious and I felt that I could open my eyes at any time but this was such a magnificent view that I had to just look in awe. The day this happened was
the day after the market bombing - Iraq war March 27, 2003.
What happened was I was trying to sleep when I saw in my mind three visions in full color, two in very vivid color like looking through my Sony camcorder. And for a period of time, two of the visions were at the same time. When I saw the tunnel vision, it took me a few minutes to understand what I was looking at but I fully understood.
The vision started like this as I was resting, trying to fall asleep...
I started to see black and white cloud like images in my mind, this started to take form and I started to make out 2 military vehicles, one at a time, light tan, camouflage. As these vehicles disappeared, I started to see
beautiful rings of light that were in color, yellow that illuminated gold.
These rings of light were going to a very white and bright light. It was beautiful.
I could not see a barrier but noticed that it looked like an invisible barrier as these rings of light would go the light. The best way I can explain the rings is when I saw the Frankenstein movie, the electricity that would flow up the two poles, but this was not static electricity nor poles but beautiful round rings, like hallo looking that started out as small rings that would eventually get larger as they would reach the white light at the end of this tunnel.
The tunnel was turned at an angle so I could see a pitch-black part to a very white light. And, these rings or souls would go about one every
second ... it was a lot. I
always wanted to know or I guess I would worry what would happen when a lot of people died at once. Well, I guess I got my answer or perhaps it was shown to me the way I would understand.
I realized after about one to two minutes that this was the tunnel that people see when they died and these were souls that I believed died in the war.
Towards the end of the vision, I started to get another vision.
I now believe this was to confirm to myself that I was not going crazy.
I also started to see at the same time, in a very clear, vivid color similar to looking through my Sony camcorder, a red truck driving onto my street. I saw the houses, grass and street curbs, etc. and then I opened my eyes, the vision was over.
That evening as I was driving to the store, there was the red truck parked at the end of the street.
Also, I was very much for this war in Iraq prior to seeing this vision but now I am not sure if war is right. So many people were dying.
After viewing this vision for what I thought was what seemed like
five minutes,
actually had been an hour and I am positive that I was not asleep. I remember turning on the TV to see if there had been an explosion or something that would explain what had happened but there were no headline
news to this effect.
"Although my
near-death experience was nearly thirty four years ago, there is virtually not a
day that goes by that I am not aware of making decisions based on that
experience." - Geraldine Berkheimer, near-death experiencer

There are few things that I love more than cake... my children, my husband and Jesus. But cake comes right after that. Lately I have been making more and more of them. But when they come out of the Happy Herbivore cookbooks you know that you are getting a low-fat homemade dish that is always delicious.
I also love that my pantry is generally well stocked since we made the leap to a WFPB (whole food plant based) lifestyle. I wanted something sweet and came across this recipe in Happy Herbivore Light and Lean. This cake was a cinch to put together and even more enjoyable to eat. My kids loved it, my husband loved it and I did too!
I can't wait to bake this for my bible study and family dinners!

The Rock Blu-ray Review
PictureThe Rock comes blasting to the next generation High Definition Blu-ray format with a glorious new 1080p video rendition in the movie's original theatrical widescreen aspect ratio of 2.4:1. The detail is fantastic throughout, believe me the movie has never looked this good, not on the Criterion release, nor the relatively recent UK 2-disc Special Edition. Aside from the excellent clarity, there is next to no softness, negligible grain (only apparent in some of the latter Alcatraz confrontations) and no noticeable edge enhancement. The close-ups are pristine, the outdoor shots showcasing a picture-perfect sunny San Francisco and the indoor sequences offering a gritty prison setting. The colour scheme is reflected superbly in both those arenas as well, with quite a broad range of tones right up until and including the solid, deep blacks that allow for some superior shadowing and night incursion sequences. As I've stated, it is easily the best shape we have ever seen this movie in and, whilst perhaps not quite as perfect as the visual renditions provided for 2007 movies, it is still a fantastic effort.
SoundTo accompany the superior visuals, we get two solid audio tracks, the fairly standard Dolby Digital 5.1 Plus track and the powerful Uncompressed 5.1 PCM track that better reflects the full capability of the next generation Blu-ray format. Dialogue is never less than clear and coherent, coming across predominantly from the fronts and centre channels. The effects are fairly bombastic, with plenty of massive shootouts, powerful explosions and smashing car crashes to fill your ears, as well as lots of quieter ambient atmospheric effects like the sound of shattered glass being crushed underfoot or bomb wires being snipped, and it all gets presented well, allowing for a considerable amount of bass and some great dynamics across the surrounds. However, it should be noted that the majority of this track by Hans Zimmers powerful action score, with just the right amount of military thundering and patriotic theme-work to keep the explosive set-pieces thundering along, and give the surrounds and sub plenty of action too. Overall, for such an excellent action soundtrack we get a solid DD5.1 plus effort and a superior Uncompressed rendition.
ExtrasAlthough there are shamefully no Blu-ray-exclusive extras here, we do get all of the DVD extras ported over from the previous releases, well all but the best one - the Commentary, which is also disappointingly absent (despite the cover stating otherwise). Unfortunately to make matters worse, all of the other extras come with absolutely awful video quality. First up we get the Original Theatrical and Teaser Trailers and TV Spots, as well as a two-minute promotional clip of the World Premiere of The Rock, presented on Alcatraz itself, briefly detailing how they staged the event.
Navy SEALs on the Range is an interesting six minute Featurette hosted by a bunch of real Navy SEALs who describe various shooting techniques and the training required to be a SEAL, as well as offer a brief discussion on what real SEALs would have done when faced with the confrontation depicted in the movie.
Hollywood Humphries & Teague gives us eight minutes background into organising the firearms use for the movie, with insights into working with various weaponry, the dangers of blanks and some revelations about movie gun goofs and how stupid gangster shooting or even cowboy pistol drawing is when compared to real-life military techniques. Easily the most interesting offering, not least because it offers a informative critique of gun use in action movies.
Special Effects: The Dive Sequence takes eight minutes to look at how the effects team put together the underwater dive sequence, using shots of real divers for close-ups as well as models for the longer shots to give a bigger scale to the whole sequence. They go into quite a lot of detail into how they create and use the 'puppets' and this is also a nice offering.
Action Effects: Movie Magic is a ludicrously cheesy voice-over-man-tastic promotional piece that takes eight minutes to wax lyrical about several key action sequences. Using far too many adjectives he narrates the effects expose, which does actually offer some nice insight into the CGI visual effects used for this movie, even if they are not to the standard used now, over a decade later.
One of the most enjoyable extras (as is often the case), we get some Outtakes from The Rock. Lasting some eight minutes, they largely comprise Ed Harris swearing his head off from too many line fluffs, with one memorable outburst from Sean Connery (I don't think he's ever said the 'C' word before on film) and some nice improvisation by Nic Cage. Worth checking out.
Secrets of Alcatraz is an interesting historical Featurette, taking a quarter of a hour to look at the history of the island. Discussing its inhabitants, from the original aboriginals to the Spaniards, it goes on to mention its use as a light-house, an Army outpost and eventually a prison. With plenty of still shots to illustrate, as well as an informative tour of the main building complexes, this is also a nice little offering, which even explores the escapes attempted from Alcatraz, with detailed explanations from those with first-hand experience.
Finally we get a sixteen minute Jerry Bruckheimer Interview, the meatiest offering on this disc. Bruckheimer details his history in making movies, explaining how he got into it, his background in photography and his successes on the Big Screen. With a few nice anecdotes, fans of the producer and his work will be interested in this monologue.
VerdictThe Rock is a classic action adventure, with some great performances all round by Sean Connery, Ed Harris and Nicolas Cage. It is one of the best of its kind, a fitting final blockbuster from veteran cheesy action movie producer Don Simpson. If you haven't seen this then it is well worth checking out, it has everything - explosions, gunfights, great lines, comic moments and a solid story, all rounded off by stylish direction, a superior score and the aforementioned cast on top form. With the European Blu-rays (first the French then the UK version) released before the stateside equivalent, fans should be chuffed with the enhanced High Definition video and audio, but should also be wary of the fact that the Extras seem distinctly incomplete, with no sign of even the Audio Commentary that was previously included amongst the material ported straight from the DVD editions, let alone any Blu-ray exclusive additions. Still, it will be hard to avoid picking up this title: it's a technically superior version of a superb action adventure that deserves a place in everybody's collection.

Bugatti has produced a brake caliper via 3D printing, which the company claims to be the first in the world. Also claimed to be the largest brake caliper in the automotive industry.
Developed in association with Laser Zentrum Nord of Germany, the new brake caliper is made from Titanium instead of the current Aluminum alloy.
Mainly used in the aerospace industry the material offers considerably higher performance than aluminium. For example, even as a 3D printed component, it has a tensile strength of 1,250 N/mm2. This means that a force of slightly more than 125 kg can be applied to a square millimetre of this titanium alloy without the material rupturing. The new titanium brake caliper, which is 41 cm long, 21 cm wide and 13.6 cm high, weighs only 2.9 kg. In comparison with the aluminium component currently used, which weighs 4.9 kg, the weight of the caliper has come down by about 40% while ensuring even higher strength, Bugatti said.
To date, this approach was not feasible because it is extremely difficult or even impossible to mill or forge components from a titanium block due to the extremely high strength of the material.
The special 3D printer at LZN, claimed to be the largest printer in the world suitable for titanium, is equipped with four 400-watt lasers.
It takes a total of 45 hours to print a brake caliper. During this time, titanium powder is deposited layer by layer. With each layer, the four lasers melt the titanium powder into the shape defined for the brake caliper. The material cools immediately and the brake caliper take shape. The total number of layers required is 2,213. Following the completion of the final layer, the remaining titanium powder which had not melted is removed from the chamber, cleaned and preserved for reuse in a closed loop. What remains in the chamber is a brake caliper complete with supporting structure which maintains its shape until it has received stabilizing heat treatment and reached its final strength.
Heat treatment is carried out in a furnace where the brake caliper is exposed to an initial temperature of 700°C, falling to 100°C in the course of the process, in order to eliminate residual stress and to ensure dimensional stability. Finally, the supporting structures are removed and the component is separated from the tray. In the next production stage, the surface is smoothed in a combined mechanical, physical and chemical process which drastically improves its fatigue strength, i.e. the long-term durability of the component in later vehicle operation. Finally, the contours of functional surfaces, such as the piston contact surfaces or threads, are machined in a five-axis milling machine which takes another 11 hours to complete its work.
The result is a delicately shaped component with wall thicknesses between a minimum of only one millimetre and a maximum of four millimetres, Bugatti said.

Is a Goodyear indication binding if a defendant absconds before sentence?
We set this blog up mainly to look at the criminal law for non-lawyers, but ever so often we have a look at decisions of the Court of Appeal that are of interest to lawyers.
Colin Davies had been convicted in 2012 of growing cannabis and got a suspended sentence. This didn't seem to deter him, as the next year he was accused of doing it again, an accusation that he had denied.
He appeared at the Crown Court for his trial on 5th August 2014, where he asked for a Goodyear indication on a basis that seems somewhat optimistic (and seems to have not been accepted by the Crown or Judge, even though they did not seek a Newton – why this didn't happen isn't clear).
An indication was given that the maximum sentence for this would be 2 years (the Judge reserving her position on whether the Suspended Sentence would be activated). Mr Davies then pleaded guilty and the case was put back for 15 minutes for instructions to be taken for mitigate.
Unfortunately, Mr Davies legged it and went on the run for three months, surrendering himself and pleading guilting to the Bail Act offence.
At the sentence, it was accepted on Mr Davies' behalf that the Goodyear indication was not still binding, given that Mr Davies had absconded.
He was then sentenced to 3 years 2 months for the cannabis offence, consecutive 4 months for the Bail Act offence and with 2 months of the suspended sentence being activated, for a total of 3 years 8 months.
Appeal – Davies [2015] EWCA Crim 930
He appealed on the sole ground that the Judge should have honoured the Goodyear indication. It's not clear if this was the same lawyer or not, given that it was accepted that this was the correct course of action, but no issue was raised in relation to that.
The Court of Appeal held that the indication was still binding –
"In the case before us the only change in circumstances was the appellant's absconding from the court after pleading guilty. The applicant was properly given a consecutive sentence for that offence. He had pleaded guilty following the Goodyear indication from the judge and nothing else had changed. In those circumstances we are of the view that the judge was bound by the indication he had given and there was no justification in taking a higher starting point". (para 15)
The other sentences were left, but the sentence on the cannabis cultivation was reduced to 2 years – a reduction of 14 months. The total sentence was reduced therefore to 2 years, 6 months.
It is (pleasantly) surprising that the Court raised no issue that the Appeal was on the basis of something that that had specifically been conceded as incorrect in the Crown Court.
On the main substance, the practice in relation to Goodyear indications are set out in the Criminal Practice Directions (Part C at page 75). On the principles set out there, the conclusion of the Court of Appeal makes sense – the indication was given and accepted, at which point it was binding.
Although leaving the Court would certainly have irritated the Judge, and he can properly be punished separately for that (as he was), that would not constitute exceptional circumstances to mean that the indication should not be honoured.
Having said that, this is something that has almost certainly happened before, and many Judges would have taken the same view (although this would most likely have occurred where someone failed to attend Court after it was adjourned for a PSR).

1. Willing to put Merkel back in charge
BSSB.BE slate.com
The big story about the upcoming elections in Germany is (supposedly) that there is no story.
In just a little over a year, Britain has voted to Brexit, and America has elected Donald Trump. In France, extremists on the far left and the far right took nearly half of the vote in the first round of the presidential election.
In the second round, French voters coalesced around a candidate who is moderate yet shot to victory on the back of a new movement that pulverized the political landscape. Every one of these elections thus had one crucial thing in common: It represented a huge shock to the system. So it is all the more striking that the story heading into Germany's vote on Sept. 24 seems to be one of continuity rather than change.
With less than two weeks to go, it is very likely that Chancellor Angela Merkel will be re-elected for a fourth term in office. And at a time when politics seems to be downright histrionic in many parts of the world, Germany's election campaign has felt surprisingly soporific. After the only TV debate between Merkel and her main challenger, Social Democrat Martin Schulz, a Berlin paper headlined: "0–0." Neither of the contestants, the soccer metaphor implied, had scored any goals. Indeed, the accompanying text added, for long stretches it hadn't even seemed as though Schulz was especially interested in beating his adversary.
But it was a satirical magazine that best captured the overall feel of Merkel's bid for re-election. With campaign spending tightly limited, German parties traditionally rely on billboards to get their messages out. On the fakes designed by Titanic, though, the slogan of Merkel's party simply reads: "As if we even had to bother putting up billboards!"
Merkel is, at best, a highly imperfect defender of liberal values.
There are a few factors that explain why Merkel has barely had to sweat—even though establishment politicians in other Western democracies have been besieged by populist challengers from the right and left. For one thing, Germany's economy has done comparatively well for the past decade.
In light of its past, Germans may also have a deeper aversion to radical political experiments. Finally, Merkel has undoubtedly been a competent chancellor: Calm, moderate, and highly deliberate, she remains one of the world's least divisive leaders.
As George Packer, quoting the German columnist Georg Diez, wrote in the best profile of her to date, she "took the politics out of politics." If voters are willing to put Merkel back in charge, the reason is in good part because, unlike her brash predecessor, she is minimally invasive.
So it is perfectly understandable that most journalists have focused on the remarkable stability of Germany's political system or celebrated Merkel's imminent re-election as a healthy sign for liberal democracy. And yet, the German election campaign has been much more eventful than most foreign observers have noticed: If you scratch the surface, it quickly becomes apparent that populism is making significant inroads in Germany—and that Merkel herself is, at best, a highly imperfect defender of liberal values.
- For all of modern Germany's supposed immunity from the far right, extremist parties have celebrated significant successes in local or state elections at several points in the history of the federal republic. But when general elections rolled around, these parties reliably failed to garner the 5 percent of the vote they needed to win seats.
- This is now likely to change. Four years ago, the far-right, anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany, or AfD, narrowly fell short of the votes it needed to enter the national parliament. Since then, it has entered 12 out of 16 state parliaments. Polling at just under 10 percent nationally, it is now virtually certain to enter the Bundestag—becoming the first right-wing extremist party to do so since World War II.
And though the AfD likes to appear more moderate than its far-right predecessors, there can be little doubt that it is indeed extremist. This is in part a matter of policy. The party wants to take most powers back from Brussels or (failing that) leave the European Union. It wants to abolish the euro. It wants to close American Army bases. It wants to ban the burqa and abolish minarets. And of course it wants to curtail immigration and stop refugees from reaching Germany.
But if the party's proposed policies are radical, its rhetoric is even more so. Alexander Gauland, one of the party's leaders, has called Merkel a "dictator" and suggested that Aydan Özoguz, a Social Democratic politician with roots in Turkey, should be "disposed of in Anatolia." Meanwhile, Alice Weidel, the party's other leader, reportedly wrote an email in which she lamented that Germany is being "overrun by foreign peoples like Arabs." The "pigs" who govern Germany, she suggested, "are just puppets of the victors of World War II and have the task of keeping down the German people by getting so many foreigners into the country that our cities will erupt into small civil wars."
Even if it does better than expected, the AfD will, in the short run, have little direct influence on public policy: Germany's mainstream parties will continue to shun it. And yet, the AfD is already setting the terms of the debate: In their only TV matchup, for example, Merkel and Schulz spent about half of their time talking about refugees, Muslim immigrants, and Germany's relationship to Turkey.
Once the AfD is represented in the Bundestag, its ability to set the agenda will only keep growing. And if the experience of other European countries is any guide, this will give people like Gauland and Weidel a big opportunity to expand their base over the coming years. Though its success so far is less spectacular than that of similar parties in other parts of the continent, it would be bizarre to see the AfD's breakthrough as anything other than a potential turning point in Germany's postwar history.
Beware of German plans, especially when it involves other countries, that's all I have to say if history is anything to go by.This time, they will do the damage to Europe without a war
Will Merkel go down as succeeding where Napoleon, the Kaiser and Hitler failed, namely destroying Europe as we know it?
It really does not matter what the article said, Soros is evil. He is trying to interfere in the governing of the Hungarian nation. Let us not forget that he nearly broke the bank of England to increasing his wealth. He is also financing NGOs to cause dissension in the country. Soros wants to allow one million migrants into the EU, however, he wants the taxpayers to foot the bill. There is nothing good one can say about a greedy person whose aim is to get richer.
No conservative thinker need to apologize for their philosophy. Mr. Trump did not try to break the bank of England. Mr. Trump is not interfering in Hungary's sovereignty by employing NGOs to cause discourse. I believe the word moderate does not apply to you. I would certainly not support a foreigner to meddle in my country's affairs. Soros is still the evil one!!!!
You are writing nonsense. Trump is no conservative: he is a destructive narcissist playing with far right nationalist ideology.
The status quo in the Donbas is thus Ukraine's best-case scenario. The war is, despite the continued fighting and dying, for all purposes frozen. Ukraine should accept the frozen nature of the conflict, continue to support the Minsk process wholeheartedly, let Putin sustain the enclave on his own, and move on.
They need to stop devoting so much of their politics to finding solutions to the war.

Definitions for pandiculation
- the act of stretching oneself.
Get the Word of the Day Email
Citations for pandiculation
I think that of all the earthlings' quirks it is the act of pandiculation that would surprise and fascinate me most, that slow stretch and then the soundless ape-howl, in which they indulge themselves with such languorous relish.
His shoulders hunched, his legs stretched to their toes, he made claws of his fingers in his hands--a fierce pandiculation of his limbs.
Origin of pandiculation
Pandiculation derives from the Latin verb pandere meaning "to stretch." It entered English in the early 1600s.

Very Good phone.....
Make sre you the setting on your GPS correct or else you'll be getting charge from your network.
One of our customer got nasty phone bill worth cool 900 dollars because of the GPS.
Anyone know the detail cost for Malaysia central, North and South map from Asia Maps? What about price for Malaysia map from Nokia maps? Which maps are better in term of quality and usability? Please give your expert view.
Question1- I read comment from MyPDACafe.com forum saying that Asia Maps give 1 map (South, Central or North Malaysia) free for life for the user. Is it true? Or the navigation function is only for 30days trial? Which one is correct?
Question 2 Can we download the maps from Asia Maps via PC and install it to phone like Nokia Maps? Is the turn by turn navigation f.o.c or chargeable?
can we buy Malaysian maps from Nokia and install it on 6110nav? Nokia has fully covered malaysian map or just KL and JB? thanks.
Does any one use the CR-48?
I'm curious... with the speakers in the BACK and the charging connection ON TOP, Nokia has made mounting and charging this thing in the car a real challenge!
Bummer, i agree with u.... Route66 sucks in M'sia... Nokia Maps much better
Are the maps used the same as the V60 maps 66 sells on their main site?
ie: http://www.66.com/route66/products.php?cid=IE&sec=9&ssec=1&prodid=1827
If so, these DVDs are MUCH cheaper. Western Europe is ~120EUR and I paid 50 EUR for just GERMANY!!!
Too expensive.
In regard to: "I've been using my new Nokia 6110 for 3 weeks now and just got my first bill. I'm on the $49 cap. But received a bill for $1,100.00."
I now have the answer from Strathfield Car Radios. The phone was delivered to me set for auto map updates. Strathfield Car Radios changed the settings, Optus will cover the bill and how it should work okay.
Thanks to all.
how much are the map pack licenses for north american maps? is the turn by turn voice direction included in the firmware or is it extra purchase?
I personally think that route66 or Nokia should distribute the complete Malaysian map f.o.c to all Malaysian Nokia 6110 Navigator users when it becomes available (a.s.a.p). This is because the current pre-installed map in the phone is not relevant for Malaysian users as it only covered K.L, Johor Bahru and Singapore. I think the current map is meant for Singapore market only. What about Malaysian market? What about users from other state like Selangor, Pahang and Penang? I am sure the sales of this phone model will increase tremendously if my opinion is taken into consideration by Nokia as this is an excellent phone produce by Nokia. My friends hold their decision to buy this phone when they noticed the shortcoming mention above. Or Nokia can consider to lets customer choose one free map according to their own need. Those who want additional map must pay for it. Fair, right? Please consider, Nokia...
Nokia 6110 Navigator - Design, Firmware & Software Inconsistencies - Final Report (28-07-2007):
After using the Nokia 6110 Navigator for 3 weeks, I have detected several problems, which IMHO should be corrected ASAP, if Nokia wants this phone to be a best seller...
Bad/wrong Design:
01-The Volume, Camera and My Own Key buttons are wrongly designed and therefore hard to use/manipulate.
The same goes for the keyboard's buttons that could be bigger if the slider opened a little bit more.
Sliding the front cover to access the keyboard normally turns the GPS on, because your fingers slide and hit that button!
02-Plastic of bad quality (not good to touch, gets greasy with fingertips or face's moisture, not fancy at all)...
The same goes for the display...
03-Celular Antenna bad placed! It gets covered by your hand when you hold the phone blocking the signal...
Bad/wrong Firmware & Software Engineering:
04-You should be able to enter the «Navigator Program» without activating the GPS receiver!
-->Battery discharge time would improve greatly while setting up a route, consulting maps, changing (navigator's) settings, etc. ...
05-It should be possible to hear navigational instructions through the phone's loudspeakers, while talking on the phone by bluetooth!
-->You need to drive with bluetooth switched on so you can legally answer a call while driving (in my country at least), but this way you have to carry your bluetooth device in your ear all the time to hear the GPS's tutoring...
It's not practical (or safe) to activate/deactivate the blutooth and connected bluetooth device everytime you want to answer/make a call.
06-You should be able to activate more then one map simultaneously (with the delivered-in maps, it isn't)!
-->If not, how do you plan a trip from France to Germany (or hear the instructions)? Nokia (or Route 66) forgot about the people that leave near another country!
07-When chosing [Navigator\Navigate\Contacts\Locate] for a correct (portuguese) address like this:
R. do Chafariz, 23-3º Dto (Street, door number, floor)
you receive the message
«No search results. Please check your text string»
If the address is incomplete like this:
R. do Chafariz, 23 (which means no floor information, useless address from a database point of view...)
everything works as supposed!
-->Anyone has a solution?
08-Already 8 crashes (Symbian OS Problem?) in 21 days! To restart the phone you need to take the battery out, most of the time!
It is happening with some consistency when I don't use it for quite a time (6-8 hours) and then receive or make a call:
Case 1 - Aparently everything is working, except for the sound; to have it working again you turn it off and on (reboot) and it gets back to normal...
Case 2 - The phone gets totally stucked - no way back through menus, no reaction to keyboard input, nothing!
So the only thing you can do is to take out the battery and restart (reboot) again so it gets back to normal...
Improving Firmware/Software engineering... :
09-Route66 should improve its maping and route calculation... At least for the Iberia and UK Maps the provided information and algorithm route calculation/planing is most of the time dead wrong, or a bad choice to say the least!
-->Route66 still has a long way to go!
10-You could use the phone's inboard GPS receiver to gather satellite information to different software/hardware applications! Many users would find many uses for lots of applications and devices...
11-Battery capacity is to small for this phone's consumption, specially while navigating! Please improve its capacity... After all this is Nokia's Navigator!
Other major flaws... :
12-Route66 was not the best choice...
Except for the graphics, TomTom's Symbian Navigation Software & Maps are miles ahead! In speed of calculation and accuracy of route planing.
General Conclusion:
If the above matters are corrected (except for 01, 02 and 03, which are impossible to change) and TomTom releases its Symbian Program to work with this model (or Route66 improves its navigation program), the 6110 Navigator could turn to be the best GPS phone money can buy today.
I sincerely hope so, I waited several month to buy one and I'm tempted to return it back because of these real problems!!!
Thanking in advance,
Best Regards,
PS-Besides the above described matters, a very good phone; if corrected (Nokia & Route 66 - Are you listening?) maybe the best GPS Phone money can buy today!
For all the other things that cannot be changed, I wonder how these problems happen in the first place when you spend so much money (and involve so many people) developing a product like this!?
XXIth Century Consumer Society problem? No beta testers? No time to fine tune?
Please don't let me conclude that it was just bad/uncareful/poor engineering!
_________________________ Sent to NOKIA (E-MAIL) on 16-07-2007; final text version on 26-07-2007 _____________________________
this phone is going great for me havn't figured out how to use the GPS function to its fullest! but everythings going good except for one minor freeze, but since then its all good!
6110 Navigator - OS Crashes & More Crashes!
Odd nobody reporting crashes with this phone!
Mine already got stucked 8 times in 21 days! I don't know if this is an OS (Symbian) problem or a hardware one... but it seems that is has become usual with Nokia's phones!
It is happening with some consistency when I don't use it for quite a time (6-8 hours) and then receive or make a call:
Case 1 - Aparently everything is working, except for the sound; to have it working again you turn it off and on (reboot) and it gets back to normal...
Case 2 - The phone gets totally stucked - no way back through menus, no reaction to keyboard input, nothing! - so the only thing you can do is to take out the battery and restart again and again it gets back to normal...
Am I the only one having this problem or using the phone?
Some feedback from other users would be great, don't you think?
After all this is a forum... Right?
Thanking in advance,
Best Regards,
PS - I already reported this to Nokia, which aknowledged my E-Mail but haven't answered yet.
i have gone through this phone with nokia and the way the navi works in regards to cost is
navi is free to view maps etc
but to use the sat nav you have to pay a subscription to use it around £49 a year i think
plus you can also set up your internet on it so while your using it it will keep on connecting to update on traffic alerts and speed camera postions etc
also unless you have download the maps from nokia.co.uk everytime you go onto the maps when it has the internet set up it will start downloading the maps to fill in all the details
In regards to the GPS and you being charged. What you need to do so that you don't get charged is go into applications then GPS Data then click on options and go to position settings. Once there un tick the intergrated GPS with and the network based options and you will be ok. So all you should have ticked is (INTERGRATED GPS).
I Hope that this helps.
I recently got this phone (import) which has the world map installed (pretty useless here).
I paid the £33 and downloaded the UK map from route 66 using the included DVD. This was a bit tricky as firstly I could never get connected to their server which is often VEERRRYY SLOOOWW. The second problem is navigating the map option on the DVD. Let me explain. You have to select Europe, then Western Europe then England AND Ireland insted of just England. You will then see an option to purchase the licence key and download the map. If you click on England UK you cannot download just that map. You have to go into every county and pay seperately which would cost about £200!!!! Great phone just one glitch - Once I have paired the phone to a bluetooth device it seems to have a bug where it wont let you pair another device until it has been hard reset. Im sure this is just a bug in the firmware.
As with other GPS maps - I downloaded Nokia Maps to the phone and it worked a treat with the internal GPS receiver. The only downside is nokia charges a licence if you want to use voice navigation which costs about £5 a month of £40 a year! Route 66 is not as good in my opinion as TomTom but it is good enough for me until TomTom come out with an update.
I would like to add that the internal GPS receiver in this phone is absolutely awesome. I had an external bluetooth BT77 receiver with my old N70 and this little beauty is so much more sensitive. It picks up satellites indoors, in the car and even in the car in my pocket. Well done Nokia - I just love this phone - best buy of the year for me being a gadget man.
To: CCE
I just ordered the Nokia 6110nav online in Australia. So, the Route66 provides me an unlocked Australian map, right? But does it mean it includes all the country side maps or just city centre and major suburbs? Besides that, do I need to transfer the map from Route66's DVD to the handset? In addition, does the Route66 have the Malaysian map?
thanks very much.

NEW HAVEN — New Haven continues to pioneer in its engagements with renewable energy development.
It is among the first towns to have submitted a hopeful Act 174-compliant energy plan to the Department of Public Service.
Last month, it also became the first town to have its energy plan rejected.
"Of course, we're disappointed," said New Haven selectboard Chair Kathy Barrett.
NEW HAVEN — The following are the results in the 4-H Dairy Showmanship and Fitting competition on Aug. 8.
Junior Division, 12 years old: 1. E. Rose Jones, Whiting Cloverleaves;
Junior Division, 11 years old: 1. Elizabeth Crawford – B. 2. Morgan White – R. 3. Andrew Lester – R.
Workout for an hour every day. Eat healthy, unprocessed foods. Drink water. Be a supportive and responsible family member. Sounds like a pretty solid resolution-list made on January 1st, right? But how often does the workout get rescheduled, the apple replaced by a cookie, water for coffee and your attitude swing a bit out of control? Don't worry, we've all been there.
NEW HAVEN — Taborri Bruhl's world changed four years ago on the day he learned the African western black rhino had gone extinct.
"It just struck me as, 'That's permanent.' You can't undo extinction," said the 50-year-old New Haven resident.
While many grieved as part of the collective tsunami of sadness, Bruhl decided to act.
A former U.S. Marine and son of an Air Force serviceman, Bruhl enlisted himself in a new battle — for sustainability.
NEW HAVEN — Bob Degree & the Bluegrass Storm will perform at Lincoln Peak Vineyard on Friday, Aug. 18, 6-8 p.m. These hard-driving bluegrass fiends will be blowing a gale in the vineyard.
The vineyard opens at 5:30 for picnicking. Food for sale by Antidote of Vergennes, and wine by the glass. Admission is free. Bring lawn chairs or a picnic blanket.
The Wine Down Friday series happens rain or shine — there's room on the winery porch in the case of rain. No alcohol may be brought onto the grounds; leave your pets at home too.
NEW HAVEN — Forty-eight contestants took part in the Ladies' Iron Skillet Toss at the Addison County Fair and Field Days this past Wednesday afternoon, including nine gents in the two younger age categories.
Competitors came from as close as Cornwall, Addison and Whiting, and from as far away as Massachusetts, Miami and San Diego — and even Australia, New Zealand, England and Slovakia.
Heftily represented in the 18-and-older category were counselors from nearby Camp Betsey Cox and Camp Sangamon, both in Pittsford.
BRISTOL — Monday night the Mount Abe Renovation Committee voted to recommend bringing a $35 million renovation bond to voters this coming November. The committee's recommendation now goes before Addison Northeast Superintendent Patrick Reen and the Addison Northeast Supervisory Union board for official consideration.
If voters agree to fund the bond payments, construction to overhaul the nearly 50-year-old Bristol school building would begin the summer of 2019.
NEW HAVEN — As the sun shone down on the opening day of the 2017 Addison County Fair & Field Days, several miniatures donkeys earned class titles and one became overall champion. But ascertaining which deserved the crown was not as easy as it might seem.
"It's a lot harder (to judge) donkeys because when they get into their stubborn or scared streak they don't always walk as straight as they normally would," said Kathy Kennett, this year's judge.
MIDDLEBURY — Katy Smith Abbott will resign her position as Middlebury College's Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of the College at the end of the year, College President Laurie L. Patton announced in an email to students last Friday afternoon.
"I am both saddened at the thought of not having her as a member of the senior administration and pleased that she is remaining at Middlebury and following her academic and personal interests," Patton wrote.

Ways to Tell Your Drinking is Out of Control
There is nothing wrong with casually enjoying a drink at the bar after a long day's work. Many people are able to go out and consume alcohol responsibly. However, this is not the case for everybody. There are many people who suffer from alcohol dependency, in the United States alone there are an estimated 17.6 million people suffering from alcohol addiction. Alcohol addiction is a serious matter and anyone who believes that he or she is suffering from alcoholism should speak to someone as soon as possible, whether it be a peer, family member, or doctor. There are many dangers when it comes to the overconsumption of alcohol. One area where the dangers of alcohol often present themselves is on the road. It is estimated that around 32{63cc54f46810544ee7fd18143549f9c1c62ec1ca07be04e2cdeadfacaaacdd7a} of all fatal car crashes involve at least one intoxicated person involved in the accident. The leading cause of death among teenagers between the ages on 16-19 are vehicular accidents. It is estimated that one-fourth of fatal accidents involving teenagers are the result of intoxication.
Many people are hesitant to admit that they are struggling with alcohol addiction. When it comes to examining one's own drinking habits some questions that can be asked include:
- Do I catch myself having a drink first thing in the morning before I start my day?
- Does the amount of alcohol I am consuming make me feel shame or guilt?
- Do I repeatedly promise myself or others that I am going to quit or cut down on my alcohol consumption?
What makes self-reflection tough when it comes to the above questions, is the fact that many people who are suffering from any type of addiction will be stuck in a stage of denial. People who might be suffering from alcohol addiction might have a hard job seeing how their heavy drinking is not only having an adverse effect on themselves, but also others around them such as family and friends. Even if someone's drinking has caused them to lose friends, family, jobs, etc. it is tough for most to realize that they have a problem until they reach their own rock bottom. If you suspect that someone you know might be suffering from alcoholism, you should encourage them to seek help, and if possible offer some type of support. Most people who undergo treatment have greater rates of success if they have some type of social support backing them along their road to recovery. If you are not sure whether someone might be suffering from alcoholism, here are some common signs to look out for:
- Noticeable physical changes- Some noticeable physical changes might include tremors or shaking, which could be a sign of someone suffering from alcohol withdrawal.
- Behavioral- Some behavioral bowl symptoms could include an increasing agitation or aggression, compulsive behavior, destructive behavior as well as showing symptoms of a lack of self-restraint.
- Mood- Some notes some noticeable mood characteristics can also include: euphoria, anxiety, guilt or loneliness.
Alcohol treatment centers offer the personalized assistance to help those who are battling alcohol addiction. Not only do alcohol rehab centers offer support for those suffering from alcoholism, but they also have supportive services of those personally affected by somebody's drinking. The professional staff at alcohol treatment centers are trained to help those with drinking problems throughout the entire process of recovery. From the initial detox stage, all the way through developing quality exit plans, medical experts at these facilities will be by your side as you begin a new life focused on sobriety.

His Allure, Her Passion by Juliana Haygert
Publisher: Decadent Publishing
Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance
His Allure, Her Passion by Juliana Haygert
Publication date: February 2013 by Decadent Publishing
In his father's eyes, Dylan Deveraux is just a playboy spending the family fortune on prostitutes, alcohol, and fast cars. And it isn't even with the cars his father produces. Because of that, his father forbids his presence at the ball that will mark the launch of the US plant of his company, strategically scheduled on Valentine's Day.
Hayley Allen is a failing model with the worse luck in the world. She always ends up in the hands of cruel designers and photographers. At least, that's what she tells herself. Better than admit having a weak nervous system that always reacted during her gigs. Desperate, she would do anything to help her career.
Dylan shows up at her door, wasted as usual. A friend for a long time, Hayley is the only one able to put up with Dylan's bullshit, and he appreciates that, but not the way her heart wants.
Even though he doesn't believe in Valentine's Day, Dylan has an idea for his father's ball. When he suggests a deal to Hayley, a deal that could finally put her in the spotlight of success and help him impress his father, she doesn't hesitate. Even if it means hurting her heart a little more.
Dylan kissed Hayley, his lips moving slowly at first, afraid of getting her madder than she already was, afraid of falling under her spell more than he already had. But her scent burnt his nostrils and her sweet taste teased his mouth, and he lost it. His need grew, and he increased the speed and pressure of the kiss. Startling him, she matched his new rhythm, her soft lips moving along with his, her nails scratching the back of his shoulder, sending shivers down his spine, shaking his core. Wanting more of her, needing more of her, he slid his hands up her bare back, rubbed her silky skin, glued himself to her. He loved her skin on his, her warmth mingled with his.
Dylan could have kissed her forever, and he would have, weren't it for Dorant.
"Perfect," the photographer said, destroying the moment. "And that's a wrap. We're done here, people."
The kiss slowed, their hands drew back, and finally Hayley pulled her head back, breaking the kiss, her wide eyes on his.
Damn, he missed her lips already.
"Hayley, I-"
She walked away without hearing him. Perhaps, it was for the best, since he wasn't sure what to say. He felt he needed to say something, to fix them, to fix their relationship.
Hayley, on the other hand, didn't seem eager to fix anything.

Summer or winter? Winter – I have super low blood pressure and faint a lot during the summer, so …
Cat or dog? Dog
Tea or coffee? Both
Plotter or pantser? I was half-half, but now I'm trying to become more of a plotter
When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer? I've been writing since I was 13yo, but it was only a hobby. It was around 2009 when I thought I could try this seriously, but I took it very slow in the beginning.
What are you working on now? I'm writing NA contemporary romance called Breaking the Reins and I'm plotting The Everlast #2 which is unnamed yet. And I will not mention how many ideas are swirling around my mind. Too distracting …

Who is the one person that has singlehandedly inspired you the most in your life? My father. He and I always talked a lot, about everything, and he always pushed me to be a better person. Before I went to college (for Architecture, then Graphic Design), he told me I should do something where I could use my writing – he knew I was destined to be a writer, even when I didn't.
What is one talent that you're hopeless at, but you wish you had? Singing. And drawing. How I wish I could do both at least a little decently, but nah. I'm hopeless.
What is one trait or physical characteristic that you are proud of/love about yourself? Physical = my greens eyes. Trait = I always treat others as I would like to be treated. Respect is the law.
Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers? Don't give up. Each word you put down, you're improving your craft. Several known authors wrote lots of manuscripts before finding and agent/selling a book. Your time will come. You just have to keep at it.
Juliana Haygert
While Juliana Haygert dreams of being Wonder Woman, Buffy, or a blood elf shadow priest, she settles for the less exciting—but equally gratifying—life of a wife, mother, and author. Thousands of miles away from her former home in Brazil, she now resides in Connecticut and spends her days writing about kick-ass heroines and the heroes who drive them crazy.

Archbishop Héctor Ruben Aguer
Everything has already been decided, according to the report by the daily El Día on 9 May. Archbishop Aguer has offered his resignation and his successor, titular Archbishop Victor Manuel Fernandez, is ready.
The Archdiocesan Press Office said on the same day that Canon 401 of the Code of Canon Law requires bishops to offer their resignation to the Pope at the age of 75. It is up to the Pope alone to decide if and when he accepts this resignation.
"Meanwhile, Mgsr. Aguer continues his usual work without changing the agenda he has defined. "
The statement does not seem to deny the media reports at first sight, but it does provide a clarification. It notes that Archbishop Aguer will not turn 75 until the 24th of May. In other words: the claimed resignation request does not exist yet. Only at the age of 75 will Msgr. Aguer, "as prescribed in the aforementioned canonical provision", submit his resignation petition to the Pope.
Jorge Mario Bergoglio with Victor Manuel Fernandez
By the end of April, media reports had surfaced that one of Pope Francis' closest associates, his ghostwriter Victor Manuel Fernandez, had resigned from the post of rector of the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina to become the new Archbishop of La Plata.
Archbishop Hector Ruben Aguer is considered to be Pope Francis' most important anti-church opponents in his native Argentina (see Bergoglios Lonely Opponent - Where no Bells rang on March 13, 2013), Or.
Archbishop Aguer was Auxiliary Bishop of Buenos Aires at the same time as Jorge Mario Bergoglio. At the end of his life Cardinal Antonio Quarrancino, the archbishop of the Argentine capital, favored Bergoglio and not Aguer for his successor. The two auxiliary bishops held different positions, with those Bergoglios Cardinal Quarrancino was ultimately closer. While Bergoglio became Archbishop of Buenos Aires and thus cardinal, Aguer became archbishop of La Plata and conservative opponent of Bergoglios in the Argentine Episcopal Conference, where they led different groups.
After his election as Pope Francis dismantled the Aguer group among the Argentine bishops, but left Aguer himself in office. It has long been speculated in Argentina that Francis is just waiting for his opponent to celebrate his 75th birthday in order to emeritus him. Pope Benedict XVI. extended archbishops usually for at least two years in office. The appointment of Titular Archbishop Victor Manuel Fernandez as his successor would be an even greater humiliation for Aguer.
Francis is known to defend opponents of his office as a rule fast, while leaving party members generously in office.
Through the press release of the Archdiocese of La Plata, Rome was signaled that Msgr. Aguer would follow exactly the rules of canon law, but that he would not give the field of his free will.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) The Vanderbilt Commodores' offense has nearly withered away over the past month, and coach Derek Mason is making it clear freshman quarterback Kyle Shurmur must give them a big boost.
''Playing well, doing whatever it takes to keep this offense on the field,'' Mason said Tuesday. ''Can we manufacture points? That's what we have to do. We have to play well. The quarterback, the offensive line, running backs, everybody's got to play well.''
A team has to score points to win, and that's become a major issue for the Commodores (4-7, 2-5 Southeastern Conference) over the past month. Vanderbilt has been shut out in two of the past four games, including a 25-0 loss to Texas A&M last week. The Commodores also have scored 10 or fewer points in four of the past five games.
Vanderbilt ranks dead last in the Football Bowl Subdivision scoring an average 14 points per game. They're 119th in total offense, 112th in passing offense.
The Commodores have something to play for Saturday against in-state rival Tennessee (7-4, 4-3) if they can just generate some offense. A win would be their third in four seasons over the Vols for serious bragging rights, but that also would get Vanderbilt to 5-7 and possible consideration for one of the last remaining bowl berths.
''That's the furthest thing from my mind,'' the Vandy coach said. ''We've got one more guaranteed game, and that's what we've got to do. We've got to play well. ... There's a lot on this. I believe this football team has made great strides this year.''
Shurmur has started all four games he's played in his first fall on campus. His best area has been protecting the ball with only two interceptions. But the freshman is completing only 42 percent of his passes throwing for an average of 73.5 yards per game.
Vandy is coming off its worst performance this season. The Commodores had a season-low 148 yards total offense against Texas A&M, and they threw for only 23 yards - the third time in four games they've failed to pass for even 45 yards. Mason just wants some kind of balance from his offense.
''The guys around him have to play well,'' Mason said. ''With that once you step under center, it is what it is. He's not a freshman playing his first game anymore. He's been in the SEC. It doesn't mean that it gets any easier, but you have to do what you have to to persevere through the tough times and make sure you stand tall.''
Ralph Webb has been Vanderbilt's best offensive weapon, and he just became the sixth running back in school history to run for 1,000 yards. That puts him fifth in the SEC, but Webb has had to work hard for those yards on a league-high 256 carries.
''It all starts with Ralph Webb,'' Tennessee coach Butch Jones said of Vandy's offense. ''I think he's one of the best running backs in our conference. Very explosive. Can hit the home run.''
Webb said the Commodores aren't happy at being shut out. He also thinks Shurmur is ready going into the 12th game this season.
''We expect him to do big things,'' Webb said. ''He has games under his belt, he knows what to expect out there.''

cool picks! those look great! =DReplyDelete
Awesome list! The only one I've read is Incarceron, and at that time I loved it, although I wonder if I'll love it as much if I read it now, a few years later. I still haven't gotten around to Sapphique. I also really want to read the Chaos Walking, the Wake trilogy & the Grisha one. The only one I'm not really interested in is the Nightshade, which is a little bit weird, since I usually love werewolves books :) Thanks for stopping by on mu Top 51ReplyDelete
Friend, I am honored you stopped by my little corner of the internet and shared your thoughts. I do read every comment and I am paying attention to what is being said. I encourage the feedback. If you have a more personal question I ask that you email me. Thank you!

Sometimes I think how fantastic it would be to live within walking distance of a funky grocery store disguised as a groovy cafe where all the cool people hang out. My credit card would probably get a weekly workout and I guess the novelty would eventually wear off but the upshot would be not having to drive around in circles trying to find a car park in Teneriffe!
Sourced Grocer is all that and more. It has such a fresh, happy vibe and for a Wednesday lunchtime Miss P and I only just managed to sneak two seats at the communal table. All of the crates and a fair few of the stairs with the pastel white-washed recycled floorboards leading into the space were already taken.
The cafe menu is really inventive. Not too much cooking going on with such a small kitchen space but nonetheless, plenty of options to choose from. Miss P settled on the sardines with caramalised garlic and sourdough. After much deliberation I ordered the Eumundi wood-fired salmon on rye sourdough with creme fraiche. Both dishes were really tasty. The caramalised garlic sweet and a very happy addition to straight out of the tin, but very good quality, sardines. The salmon had a lovely light smokey flavour and with a squeeze of lemon was the exact sort of lunch I love to indulge in.
Other dishes that caught my eye; Bagel boys Bagel with smashed egg, caramalised onion, organic cheddar and spinach and the Smokehouse Sandwich with Eumundi smoked chicken, avo, mixed leaves, fetta and smoked tomato. The quinoa salad served in a big bowl also looked the business.
The grocery area has a gorgeous array of foods sourced from Queensland, mostly local suppliers. The honeycombe in the large jar complete with spoon was so pretty to look at and a fab present for any honey lover. There is also a cold room with a good selection of cheeses and meat. If you are looking for ingredients that are just that little bit special, then you are sure to find some beautiful products at Sourced.
I'm guessing Saturday and Sunday breakfast would be very popular. If you are driving, my tip, park in Commercial Rd and take a stroll down to Florence St and save yourself the headache of finding a park.
Coffee is by West End roaster Cup Coffee.
Sourced Grocer website isn't particularly helpful, just their opening times and address. It'd be great to know a little more about the guys that own and operate and a little about where they source products from. Also a sample menu would be a nice addition. I really enjoyed our visit to Sourced and look forward to a return trip.
11 Florence St, Teneriffe

Welcome to our little colorful and Montessori inspired play corner
Making a Montessori-inspired corner is super easy and here is a glimpse into ours and as well some tricks
Let's start from left to right
- Matress on the floor as the base to the relaxing cuddle corner (I added some pillows and her stuffed animals to it)
- A mirror on one wall as baby's love to look at faces. Please choose your mirror carefully (a safety mirror is best) and make sure that it is securely attached to the wall. We found out that she loves to play with it in Amsterdam and now it's still a cool toy, but I found that babies are more interested in mirrors than toddlers.
- Wood toys (Wood is an important material according to Montessori, we do not only use wood here, but wood is a material we love to play with!)
- Basket for toys and stuff (kids have a natural need for organizing their stuff)
- Log of woods to build and play and destroy and build and play 😉

During the 500 year rain storms in southern Massachusetts there were many homes severally
Damaged. I know, I was one of them. My home, like others was severally damaged by the consecutive rain storms. It was March 2010. My house like many others were not in a flood zone. Each rain storm was 6-8 inches, the storms just kept coming. The ground was saturate. Streams, rivers and lakes were over flooded. The water came through the floor soon, rising to 3-4 inches high. Water does severe damage to homes. Mine had a price tag of over $ 25,000. I called my insurance company and they denied me. Frustrated, I called FEMA.
It took a while for a representative to show up. After a series of inspections and paper work I was offered a check for $ 862. I almost wanted to give them back the money. It was not only me, but many of my neighbors experienced the same frustration.
I have since borrowed the money privately to rebuild. I have done a little research on FEMA. I am sure that there are people that are satisfied, but FEMA does not have the resource to make everyone whole. You can see monthly reports that the monies are usually between 1-2 ½
Million a month. http://www.femagov/media-library/assets/documents/31789
No one knew for sure how many agencies there are. On estimate is 415 but you can go to
https://cei,org/blog/nobody-knows-how-many-exist with little communication between agencies
it becomes a tangled web. Sometimes our government cannot respond in a quick, or efficient way, to the people they serve,
Fast forward to the present. I have written a captivating book called "Boston Darkens" It is a fictional book surrounding the Randal family. They are a Christian family transplants from Nebraska. When an EMP blast occurred Ben was on the Mass Pike. After a few hours walking home, on the Mass pike, Ben talking to several stranded motorist fique red out it was an EMP strike.
Even though my book is fictional I have tried to take a realistic journey of the Randal family. In order to survive, looking for food, water and medicine, Ben formed an unlikely group of heroes. With his surrounding neighbors they formed a collaborative. The collaborative consists of union man who thought the government was the end all and be all. A divorced mother with her daughter, A Mass State Trooper who still went by the book. A construction man with his two strong sons, who helped construct a well. A reclusive and neurotic man who had an
elderly intellectually challenge client. Ben`s daughter Jessica, who was an insecure teenage girl, with her best friend Vivian. Vivian is a tall and statuesque Girl of African descent. Besides his
Wife Alice, Ben`s son had a compulsion with a 56 Red Antique Buick. It is the Buick that was not affected by the EMP blast. The Buick was the life line of the collaborative.
Everywhere they traveled, the roads were littered with modern cars that were essential obstacles on the roads. With the Buick (and a few firearms), the Collaborative ventured out into this modern wasteland. They encountered stalled vehicles, debris, fires, gangs, malnourished dogs and corpses.
It is the good and bad of human nature that comes to the surface during this trying ordeal.
The government had a difficult time with Katrina, the fires in California, the storm off NJ coast on and on. With a large EMP strike there would be much confusion First communications would be severally limited. The government itself would have a faraday protection, but how can they communicate to the masses? Then there is a depleted military, a severally damaged e commerce, a power vacuum. What would Russia, China or mid-east terrorist do to fill this power vacuum?
What about the UN Building? NY Stock Exchange? A current administration would also be faced with many problems. Without our power grid, modern civilization would be set back to the early 1900s. I took a realistic course of the government. It really comes down to food, water and medicine. I use local Armories to help distribute food and medicine. Not only does the government need to distribute these necessities, but need to establish safe routes to the armories.
It is a story of family conflict and of neighbors bonding together for their survival. It is the journey that our forefathers took. It was the original concept of our country before big government took the role of a nanny state. You will not only being captivated but you will live the journey vicariously.
