After years of waiting, 10 months from now, Hesperia will have a movie theater of its very own.
And not just any theater: The Hesperia Cinema 12, which officially broke ground Thursday, will be the Victor Valley's first IMAX movie theater, will sell alcohol and will even have meals brought to patrons in two of the theaters.
"It'll be a great addition to downtown Hesperia," Steve Lantsberger, the city's deputy director of development, told a crowd of dignitaries gathered at the construction site Thursday morning.
The 37,000-square-foot, 12-screen, stadium seating theater will create roughly 40 permanent jobs, according to Mayor Russ Blewett.
Lantsberger acknowledged the quest to bring a movie theater to the city had been one with lots of false starts. Previous deals have been undone by the difficulty of lining up financing during an economic downturn.
"This is another cog in our downtown wheels � and we're not done yet," Lantsberger said. The theater has led to inquiries from restaurants looking to locate in the area, he said.
"It was unbelievable the amount of support a movie theater had," said Dave Corkill, President of Cinema West. "I'd really like to commend the city for its welcome to us."
"This is a great day for this community," Blewett said.
The Hesperia Cinema 12 is expected to hold a grand opening in December 2012.

Friday, March 17, 2006The things people say...
Here is a very offensive editorial by Adele Ferguson. She thinks God used slavery to help blacks and we should be thankful that we are here in the U.S. She's also baffled why so many of her black brothers and sisters support the Democrats since she thinks they are responsible for our conditions. Wouldn't it have been easier for her to ask why we support the Democrats? It appears enough people complained about the article that it was pulled from circulation. However, not before it was copied, pasted, and emailed to several people/groups.
Maybe this woman is ignorant of history and doesn't know the conditions our ancestors endured aboard those slave ships. Men, women, and children were crammed into every available nook and cranny. They were denied adequate room, food, or breathing space. The stench was appalling. The atmosphere was so inhumane that many died before they ever set foot on shores of this promised land (some reports say the number that died were in the hundreds of million). And now someone callously say, "we should be thankful" because we were provided with clothes and a roof over her head. Very interesting indeed...

Last Simile
Translated from the Arabic by Ange Mlinko
It's as if she were an earn,
gebidende prey for her eyrie.
Perched alertly,
a hægtesse on their innards.
In bitter morgenceald,
her hoar-glittered feathers.
Suddenly she sees
a fox on the westene.
At that she rouses,
heaved up on high,
and heads straight at him,
in harrowing hæste.
Hearing her, he freezes
his tail. He's terrified.
Sees, bestelð,
with ēagan flashing,
talons overtake him,
dash him down in torment,
overtake him again,
swengeð him on the eorðan.
One yelp as she pincers his liver.
Wyrd—pierces aorta.

Do you ever buy art?
And if so, how often, how much do you tend to spend on it and where do/did you find your purchases?
It's something that I'm quite interested in at the moment. I recently discovered this painter called Andrew Salgado - http://www.andrewsalgado.com/ - and bought one of his prints that costs £180.
Crazy how expensive this can get. God knows where these collectors get the money from.
just a willy extention/status thing, innit.
i'd rather concentrate on my philanthropy.
That's true. It's a commodity people don't really need. But it is nice to buy something every now and then to make your place look better.
Different strokes for different folks I guess.
I bought a signed Gilbert & George poster for a tenner from their London Pictures exhibition,
and stuck it in a cheapo frame. That's the closest I've come.
oh no
that's just my website
Is this ACTUALLY your website?
Cos yr stuff's cooolandyvine this'd this
yeah its mine
and thanks! i started a few months ago, seriously not wanting the electric bill to arrive!
- justanothersheeldz this'd this
nah music has no artistic value
that's why they're called musicians not artists
yeah he changed his name when he stopped painting
Of whatever i have to say to make this make sense
I once bought a 50" Ian Brown pop art style canvas on eBay.
At uni.
I was drunk.
It only cost 99p though!
It then cost £45 to ship from Thailand.
Then another £20 to get framed.
Then I realised Ian Brown is a bit of a bell-end.
Then I somehow lost it in a house move.
Fucking dickhead.
my punk as fuck upstairs neighbour has a MASSIVE (like, 2 metre square) print of London Calling on his wall.
lol art
Yep, I bought a mackenzie thorpe print
I love it. Saw it in a shop, didn't get it and then had a dream about it and had to go and get it, it was £180.
I really wanted to buy a Fabian Perez paiting called Untitltled 2 that was in a gallery opposite my work but it was over a grand (pics don't do it justice).
I'm quite lucky because I have an artist friend whose paitings I really like and she lets me borrow them.
I want more but I don't have the money - where can you go to see stuff by up and coming artists who are cheap?
i like mackenzie thorpe
All of his stuff is deeply sinister but quite heartwarming somehow. Theres another guy i cant thi k of his name of, hes good that guy
I'm slowly replacing my framed posters from the Tate and Moma with original artwork. Some are limited edition prints and photographs, other are unique pieces. Two items were gifts, the remainder have been bought from either galleries or at art fairs. Costs can vary enormously, from £40 to an awful lot more.
sometimes I'll buy someone a birthday card
and it'll be by an 'artist', but only ever by accident.
lol buying art
- umlaut_ampersand and georgiabeth this'd this
bit highbrow
got some stuff
we've got an original ian stevenson drawing
one of these from an original run? maybe - it's pretty old anyway, one of the first runs for sure
we have something else which is worth cash monies (screenprint) but i can't remember they name of the guy and google isn't helping me, it was being thrown out of some offices in teh eighties and the girl's dad grabbed it
would be lovely to buy some proper paintings soem time, bit expensive though really, unless you are REALLY loaded
Have got really into buying paintings
Usually fairly abstract stuff from little dudes doing little exhibitions or selling in little art shops in towns we visit or whatever. Couple of wood & pottery pieces too. Got a handful of originals now, usually like £50-100 or something. Is a nice thing to own, nice stuff to look at, support the artist etc. I like.amyblue and inside-outside this'd this
I have to be honest in saying that I don't understand art. I live
in a small one bedroom flat. The "art" that I have hanging are three Belle and Sebastian album cover prints and a couple of Olympic 2012 photos. I have a pre-signed Bat For Lashes Haunted Man print that I bought last year and tonight I bought a Polyphonic Spree print. I intend on framing both. I think I just go for stuff that feel a personal affinity for i.e. music/album covers/prints.
No. It's not something that's ever occurred to me to spend money on.
The closest I've got is 3 vintage Barcelona posters from the early part of the 20th Century.
we've got a shed load (2 bags+ full) of picture frames, from small ones to bigger ones
no massive ones, just jarge ones. we need some are for them. i might open a can of alphabet spaghetti into one of them and let it dry.
Not bought any
But one or two friends have given me pieces as gifts.
Another friend was in a house (through work) that had some Giacometti statues, seems a bit mad.
prints of street art
screen prints from gigs
fuck art
let's dance!
I've got lots of screen prints
A few band/gig ones, a couple ones.
This Hold Steady one is my favourite band print. It's so vivid.
But these two, in my son's bedroom, are my favourites:
Are they art like you mean in the OP? maybe not. I do have one painting that my friend made for me and my wife for our wedding. It is a reinterpreted version of this picture of Arthur Rimbaud at his first communion
It has a melted knife embedded in it. It's all dark reds and browns, embellished/distorted with drips and smears. It's cool, if not a bit creepy and is hanging in our attic like the picture of Dorian Gray
i love the way that youre called 'goatmeatMF'
And yet you have posters of a girl cuddling a bear and a tree of owls in your bedroom
not my bedroom, my sons - we got them for his room when he was born.
I have a screenprint of rabbits in a field of gold flowers. and this (but this is a crappy scan of it, it;s really clean lines and bright):
I wanted a print of Bamnan's rendering of Balonz
but it isn't currently commercially available
i've got a few prints and gig posters and stuff
mostly my own crap littered about the place. need to get some frames. when i get a nice place to live and don't have to try and squeeze it all onto my bedroom walls then it'll be good, until then LOL ART
quite a bit, some art prints from famous, and less known artists, couple of acrylic pieces, lots of gig posters. And a few just whatever/art prints from the tate like Lichtenstein n that.
Hey. I've just bought some art (sort of).
I went to one of the films at Somerset House. I saw Whatever Happened To Baby Jane. I bought a print by a random artist inspired by the film Carrie (one of the films showing this season). The woman there gave me an A4 sheet giving a synopsis of the various artists that have produced art for the film season. To be honest as long as the artist isn't a racist/sexist/homophobe I'd just judge the stuff on what it looks like. The artists' history has little bearing on how I view his/her work. Goodnight from a part time Philistine
I could never afford to own most of the art I like
Don't feel the need to though. Went to an exhibition today where they were offering all sorts of payment plans and stuff, like hey even the lower middle classes can show off their wealth and taste and make a 'wise' investment. Instead I bought 4 postcard prints of some spectacularly good art by Scottish school kids.
Supporting your local artists/school kids gives them a little
boost at least. Good on you. My print which is around A3 in size cost me £41. They charged me a quid for the cardboard tube. A frame I guess will cost another £20.

A hostile player atmosphere is becoming increasingly common in games these days, especially highly competitive games under the FPS or MOBA category. Heroes of the Storm, Blizzard's upcoming MOBA isn't even out yet, but it's only natural that this sort of atmosphere plagues it as well.
In an interview with Eurogamer, the game's lead designer Dustin Browder talks about the development team is working hard towards making the play experience an enjoyable one for everyone and moving player hostility completely out of the picture.
The former StarCraft 2 lead designer states that Blizzard will "keep attacking this problem until it's gone."
Browder's vision of this situation seems admirable but also sounds highly naïve without resorting to some extreme case scenarios like in Hearthstone, where there is no way to chat with other players without first adding them as friends.
Heroes of the Storms' unique feature, shared XP between team members promotes teamwork and discourages people from playing as lone wolves thereby decreasing the hostility towards such solo-ers
This, however, raises another huge question, if players cannot really go head to head against another, how will they ever find out who is better at what, which is kind of the purpose of such a competitive category of gaming.
"Shared XP also has this huge benefit for high-end teams in the sense they can cross-lane support or cross-lane gank with a lot more freedom." Bowder said.
Browder admits there is more to be done, both team and individual-wise, acknowledging the fact that in shared XP games, there really is no MVP at the end of the match, thus not giving credit when someone truly deserves it.
More details can be read on Eurogamer.

More Jiro articles
May 28, 2007
It is amazing to believe that WANG DONG CHENG (Jiro Wang), as stern as a cow, is actually afraid of cows. The most amusing is that while Jiro was filming for a drama in Guam, he encountered a cow. After much persuasion from the media, Jiro suddenly became "girly", twisting his body and was reluctant to take a picture with the cow. The foreign localist also laughed and told him in English, "Go closer. It's just a cow."
Speaking the truth, when Jiro was younger he fell from an ox. To this day it is still a very dark shadow for him. Back then, he went to a nearby village to hang out, and an old man told Jiro that riding on top of a cow is fun. He lifted Jiro up on top of the cow. Before Jiro could experience the noble fun he fell down and it had really hurt him. From then on whenever Jiro sees cows he will immediately run to the other direction.
Translations by Scarlett @ http://asianfanatics.net/forum
it must be really hard for him to pose beside that carabao ^_^
this one is a very sweet article because it involves Jiro's mom 🙂 the two of them are so lucky to have each other, right?
Fahrenheit's Jiro Wang's thriftiness becomes a habit: Walk until leg ache in order to save money
Wang Dong Cheng made use of the free slots between promotions to shop Tokyo's Biao Can Street
Fahrenheit's Wang Dong Cheng, whose thriftiness has become a habit and every month will only restrict him-self to 5 thousands dollars of expenditure, this trip to Tokyo for the promotion of GTV's ISWAK, more than 200 over thousands of Taiwan dollars are 'eaten' up just on the celebration dinner alone. He mumbled for the whole afternoon, telling the reporters, "Ho, luckily I am not paying this, if call me to pay, I may cry right on the spot.â€
This half a year, Wang dong Cheng have been rushing the filming until he's being described as left with "a spirit and a soulâ€, planed to have a good shopping before reaching Japan, but to him, the price of the Japanese goods are too high, what he wish to buy most is boots, but his budget is only 2 thousand dollars. Yesterday, he said helplessly, "Even those goods selling on the streets starts from 4 thousand plus, and in shopping malls, it's more than ten thousands, I really couldn't buy it without feeling guilty.â€
He can only shop the cosmetics shops, in the end the staff that went with him saw him running within a few shops non-stop, and asked him curiously what on earth he's doing? He said, "I'm comparing prices lar.†Actually those are some things, and the prices don't vary much, but Wang Dong Cheng insisted to compare the prices between 3 shops, and end up saving 10 dollars and walked till his leg aches.
However, before leaving Japan, Wang Dong Cheng still steeled his heart and bought a bag worth 15, 000 dollars for his mother, treating it as Mother's Day Present. He admitted truthfully that spending so much money make his heart aches, but, "Mum is too tired out, and I normally do not have the time to accompany her, so I must buy something to show my sincerity.â€
Wang Dong Cheng see the fish and still want to play kiss kiss
When Wang Dong Cheng's mother received the present, he choked her tears and told her son, very touched. When Wang Dong Cheng mentioned this matter yesterday, his voice also became (rarely) softer and softer, saying, "Mum said it reminds her of my father.†After saying, he immediately acted like a clown, "Did you see me playing kiss kiss with the fish?†revealing the side of him like a child that grew up in a single parent family and yearning for family love.

There is unusual consensus among economists that 2016 will be a more-of-the-same year of moderate growth, low inflation and emerging market risks. Against this unspectacular backdrop, how do corporations achieve spectacular outperformance?
One clear weapon of choice is big data. Last year, the world received further affirmation of big data's real world applicability. The largest ever deal in IT industry history – courtesy of Michael Dell and data storage provider, EMC – was just icing on the cake.
Here is a recap of big data's big achievements in 2015, and what lies in store for 2016:
Managed Healthcare
Most heartening for big data proponents were the strides made in healthcare in 2015. In June for example, Forbes reported on the way data is now being collected from every US cancer patient in order to detect patterns, not just of the emergence of the disease, but also of patients' responses to treatment.
In 2016, the focus looks set to shift from battling illnesses to maintaining good health. Biometric data from fitness apps and IoT-based wearable healthcare devices is likely to come to the fore. The challenge to date has been the technical and intellectual capabilities required to make sense of this overwhelming amount of data. As the Internet-of-Things comes of age, the opportunities for innovation will fall to those able to master AoT – the Analytics of Things.
Machine Learning
Machine learning was hard to ignore in 2015. Algorithms moved from a term familiar only to maths geeks to one used in the trendiest of places. Last month, fashion retailer, The North Face, launched its virtual personal shopper service, providing style trends, fashion recommendations and practical travel advice, all powered by a big data machine learning platform.
However, machine learning in 2016 may take on a different flavour. Rather than replacing humans, machine learning is moving to the incorporation of human intervention. "Human-in-the-loop" computing is based on a continual cycle of 1. ascertaining an algorithm's ability to solve a problem, 2. seeking human input where necessary, and 3. feeding this back into the model. A range of automated services from self driving cars to natural language processing (NLP) will likely continue to rely on humans teaching machines a thing or two.
Dynamic Pricing
Talk advanced retail pricing and you are likely to think of price-matching. Some of the biggest names in retail have relied on price-matching strategies to build customer loyalty. However, Walmart took the concept to a new level in 2015 with its Savings Catcher mobile app, which allows shoppers to scan their receipts and claim for items more expensive than at competitor stores. This feature alone is credited with taking Walmart's app usage from 5 million to 22 million in just one year.
That said, the evolution of big data use is paving the way for retailers to improve their margins. In 2016, rather than the intense focus on price, big data will offer retailers the ability to price based on a variety of highly dynamic and complex factors, including pop-up trends, time of day, weather conditions, underperforming products, etc. Amazon, for example, is known to change prices up to 2.5 million times a day during the busy holiday season. According to IDC, by the end of 2016, product intelligence will inform 90% of pricing decisions made by the top 10 US e-Commerce retailers.
Chief Data Officers
A survey conducted in 2015 found that 61% of CIOs wanted to hire chief data officer (CDOs) within the next 12 months. This suggests that in 2016, CDOs will be a significantly more common sight on company payrolls than at present.
Although the CDO designation has been in place in some US banks since the 2008 financial crisis to oversee data quality, the role in its current form has only surfaced in the last couple of years. In 2014, about 25% of Fortune 500 companies claimed to have one appointed to optimise their use of data.
Despite this, a study by IBM suggests that many CDO employers are not clear what this role is all about. Furthermore, while the growing importance of big data will see CDOs gaining more power in 2016, research firm Forrester note in an intriguing report that this power may be eroded by an increased trend to outsource data solutioning, and to succumb to data security concerns.
Big Data 3.0
Forrester's report also notes that 2016 may see on the end of big data's honeymoon. The report warns that big data tools alone will not be enough, if not accompanied by enterprise-wide commitment and visionary management.
If Big Data 1.0 was the era of discovery, and Big Data 2.0 was marked by a period of experimentation and application, then what we see unfolding in 2016 must surely be Big Data 3.0, when tangible results will be key. All I can say is, bring it on!

Our granddaughter is enchanted with dragons and cats -- this was the perfect choice for a duvet cover! I was especially impressed with the fact that I got to customize the border color of the duvet cover. The art work is beautiful and expressive. I was very happy to find FineArtAmerica. We looked for suitable dragon duvet covers for a long time before landing on this site. So many outstanding artists! Thank you.

This is my 3rd attempt to have this reconciled. I spoke to someone on the phone on last Friday, the day I received the wrong product. He said he would get back to me. I sent an email complaint on the same day. No one has contacted me. I received something that does not resemble the image to the immediate left, which I photographed; review the image that I received below. The duvet cover was to be a gift for my girlfriend; her birthday was today. Now that time has passed. I inquired about how to to return the duvet cover that was sent, and I have yet to receive instructions on the matter. I've been a member for several years now with no issues, but this has been my first encounter with customer service. I've rated the experience a 1 star only because it's the lowest option. It deserves a 0 rating, since I haven't received the product I ordered, I received a product I didn't order, and I haven't received a follow up on my complaint. Once again, take a look at the image below, an image I've never seen before, and compare it to the Starfish and See Urchins image to the left.
SOLD!!! Acrylic painting using Paynes Gray and Turquoise blended together to form the background. Brown circles are intersected by red lines. 1.5" edge is painted Turquoise. Original for sale at price indicated below, shipping and handling is extra and depends on location.

Based in Calgary, Alberta, Bitcoin Ventures Inc. announces that it will make things easier for Bitcoin buyers. The company's representative and Bitcoin consultant Ashley Fulks said that buying Bitcoins are now as uncomplicated as buying a loaf of bread at CoinTap, a creation of Bitcoin Ventures, Inc., is all set to embark in the Bitcoin e-commerce solutions.
Mr. Fulks also says that customers need not go through the tedious method to buy Bitcoins at other organizations as at CoinTap they can just simply go to the store and buy a CoinTap card. After buying a CoinTap card they may redeem the same on the company's website; thus, it is all quick and easy.
Gift Cards Can Be Redeemed for Bitcoin
The company offers a $50 gift card which is redeemable for $50 in credit. Customers may use the amount to purchase Bitcoins at a competitive rate through the company's website. Thus, CoinTap, a creation of Bitcoin Ventures, Inc., a local virtual currency software development company, is all set to make the difference the way Bitcoin is bought.
Mr. Fulks also explained that buying Bitcoins is now as uncomplicated and the best thing that can happen for the customers who are interested in buying the crypto-currency is that it is fast becoming the best-performing currency in the world.
Mr. Fulks also added that his company is working with a large card distribution company to get the cards distributed through convenience stores. Though these cards are being sold based on their fiat value, buyers may redeem them for Bitcoin at a competitive rate.
CoinTap has a pool of Bitcoins; however, he admits that later on it will buy them from the local Canadian exchange if requirements increase. He also promised that later on the company may cater the requirements for other virtual currencies like litecoins and ripples.
Mr. Fulks Explains the Advantages of Bitcoins for Customers
He says that since Bitcoin's value is determined purely by the market, it shows a different picture of what other currencies are worth. According to Mr. Fulks there is no inflation with Bitcoin as there are only 21,000,000 Bitcoin in circulation.
Moreover, when Canada considers Bitcoin as legal tender, buyers would not have trouble using them. Mr. Fulks admitted that Bitcoin is a decentralized currency and runs on a peer-to-peer network, so its value can't be regulated by a small group of people or even manipulated by the government agencies.

Most Australians (if not all) know what it's like to have almost unusable internet. It's gotten better in recent times, but the latest data from the Speedtest Global Index shows that many Australians are obviously still suffering with terrible internet speeds when it comes to Fixed Broadband.
Australia dropped in December's Global Index now ranking 55th in the world, averaging a download speed of 25.88 Mbps and 9.17 Mbps below countries like Guam and Kazakhstan. Singapore are still miles ahead averaging 161.61 Mbps down and 175.19 Mbps up. It's absolutely mind boggling to even think about having an internet service of that speed.

Training your pet from a young age can be a great idea, but for many reasons, this isn't always viable. If you rescue an older dog, for example, you may want to commit to training your new companion. Even if your dog has been with you since he or she was a puppy, embarking on training can still be a good idea.
Whilst your dog may have some knowledge of basic commands, they may need an extra incentive. Often, dogs stop listening when they become adolescents, so you'll want to learn how to control and motivate your pet without resorting to negative techniques.
Stopping Bad Behaviour
If your dog is exhibiting naughty behaviour, such as barking excessively or jumping up at you, you could consider adult dog training in Sutton which would be an ideal way to stop this type of behaviour. By learning why your dog is acting in a certain way, you can ensure that their energies are directed elsewhere.
If your dog is barking for attention, for example, you'll learn how to respond appropriately. In some cases, owners may be inadvertently rewarding the barking by interacting with the dog, even if they are attempting to silence it.
When you undertake dog training in Sutton, you'll learn alternative ways to manage your dog's behaviour. Whilst problematic behaviour can be stressful for your dog and your family, effective training can be fun for everyone involved!
Of course, adult dog training isn't just focused on ridding your pet of bad behaviour. You and your dog will also have the chance to learn basic commands, such as sit and stay. In addition to this, you'll gain confidence when letting your dog off the lead by practising recall techniques.
Real-Life Training Environments
In some cases, dogs exhibit perfect behaviour when they're in a controlled setting. When they're outside, however, they can become engrossed in the environment, so it's important to keep their attention.
Dog training in Sutton includes real-life training in a park setting so that you can put the skills you've acquired into practice when you and your dog are out and about. To find out more about adult dog training, why not contact us today?

As temperatures increase, so do the demands made on your vehicle. So make sure your vehicle is up to summer's challenge.
What You Can Do
- Check tire tread depth for excessive and uneven wear.
- In extreme summer temperatures, you may have to change the grade of your engine oil. Check your owner's manual for the viscosity grade recommended for your vehicle's engine.
- Check the cooling system—both hoses and radiator—for leaks. Check the coolant recovery reservoir under the hood when the engine is cold. Add the coolant recommended in your owner's manual, if required.
What Gines Service Can Do to Help
- Check the air conditioning system.
- After a winter of coughing and sneezing, combined with allergens, bacteria, mold and other microscopic interlopers, you might need to replace your cabin air filter and thoroughly clean or vacuum interior surfaces.
Winter can take a bigger toll on your vehicle than you think. See Gines Service for a pre-summer springtime check-up.

President Poroshenko wrote on his Facebook page, Censor.NET reports.
"I am outraged by the situation around the mayoral election in Pavlohrad! [The Central Election Commission has canceled the second round of city's mayoral election - ed.] I think that voters and not officials should determine the winner. I fully support the position of the Committee of Voters of Ukraine on the inadmissibility of substitution of "electoral system" and "revote" notions. I hope that a legitimate decision of the court will protect Pavlohrad residents' voting right," Poroshenko wrote.

It is my long term goal to become an independent investigator and study the pathogenesis of liver disease including alcoholic liver disease. Obtaining a K01 grant would be an important step for me to become an independent researcher since it will provide me an opportunity and time to overcome many weaknesses (lack of preliminary data and publications in alcohol research, previous lack of focus on a clinically important model system, inexperience in cell signaling, cell imaging, and molecular biology techniques) in my background to become competitive for an R01 in alcohol research in the near future. By providing my salary and research funding, the K01 grant will free me from working on other PIs'projects and allow me to really focus on alcohol, as well as become more experienced in cell signaling, cell imaging, and molecular biology. The area of science I have chosen to pursue in the upcoming period is at the interface of redox biology, signal transduction and hepatotoxicity using alcohol as a model of liver injury. TNF-induced damage to hepatocytes remains a central point in alcohol-induced liver damage. Recent evidence from our laboratory suggests that redox alterations through GSH modulation or oxidant treatment sensitize hepatocytes to TNF-induced apoptosis by inhibiting NF-?B transcriptional activity. This suggests a link between TNF secretion and redox alterations in mediating damage to liver. The hypothesis to be tested is that redox alterations caused by alcohol sensitize hepatocytes to TNF-induced apoptosis through inhibition of NF-?B dependent signaling pathways. The hypothesis will be tested with the following specific aims: 1) Determine how alcohol-induced alterations of cellular redox status modulates NF-?B signaling and TNF-induced apoptosis in cultured primary hepatocytes. The question of whether alcohol-induced redox changes inhibit NF-?B dependent gene expression in the presence of TNF in cultured primary hepatocytes will be explored. 2) Determine the effect of chronic alcohol consumption on hepatic redox status, NF-?B redox status, NF-?B signaling pathways, N binding to DNA, and NF-?B dependent gene expression in liver. The relationship between NF-?B signaling and redox status will be explored following chronic alcohol treatment in vivo. A focus of this application is to utilize imaging techniques (e.g., confocal microscopy, flow cytometry) to study redox status and NF-?B signaling simultaneous in the same cell. These methods will allow me to assess possible heterogeneity in redox status and NF-?B signaling that alcohol may induce to the hepatocyte population. The outcome of these studies will provide new insights into the mechanism by which alcohol causes liver damage. Public Health Relevance: The outcome of these studies will provide new insights into the mechanism by which alcohol causes liver damage. The findings of this application may shed light on new therapeutic strategies involving thiol antioxidants for prevention or treatment of alcohol related diseases.

Some thoughts about Eight Belles
Last night, I lay there unable to sleep thinking about Eight Belles. I thought about her prancing back to the barn the other day and when someone said, "That's Eight Belles," how her eyes twinkled. She loved being in the limelight. She knew she was special.
Then I thought about her in relationship to my ladies. Many of them were very famous, too. Both Our Mims and Taba were CHAMPIONS. Many of the others were outstanding race horses. I also thought about My Juliet, 1976 Sprint Champion who ran against the boys and beat Bold Forbes.
Most of these fine old ladies suffered such indignities as they aged. I can still feel their sorrow as their last owner talked about the disappointment they were as broodmares. It didn't matter if the mare produced several fine running foals. It was only the last year or so that mattered.
Once they were old, nothing they did in the past mattered. The betrayal from the humans as they were cast aside with no further thought, some left to forage for food without even decent hay to eat. The weight they carried in their hearts was greater than any they ever carrried in a race.
I am not saying all my ladies suffered so but enough of them did so I can say the odds of her being ridiculed later are greater than 50/50.
So I thought about that beautiful filly in all her pride… I will never have to see the look of sorrrow in her eyes or even hear that someone is disappointed in her. SHE will never feel that betrayal.

Samsung N310 Netbook: A computer that kills germs!in Netbooks 2 Comments »
We've heard of software that kills viruses, but a netbook that kills bacteria? Indeed, Samsung has unveiled the N310 netbook, created by Japanese designmeister Naoto Fukasawa, which can appeal to even the cleanliest individuals.
The 10-inch screen and pebble design keyboard are nice to look at and type on, and the keyboard is 93% of the size of a desktop computer, according to Samsung.
Weighing in at only 2.6 pounds, the N310 uses a four-cell battery which Samsung people claim will provide you with five hours of computing time before needing a recharge. The LED display and Intel Atom processor help to reduce the power draw from the batteries. Shipping with Windows XP Home Edition (which won't overburden the 1GB of RAM onboard), the N310 features a 160GB hard drive and a fully integrated 1.3MP camera, as well as a three-in-one memory card reader.

Hi folks,
I originally posted this in the Biotest supplement forum but it was suggested I post here...
Does anyone have any experience with taking Indigo-3G and having PCOS?
I'd like to know if you found it effective?
My query relates to PCOS being a hormonal issue causing issues with weight and perhaps Indigo-3G may not be effective because there's much more going on with a woman with PCOS than just carb tolerance.
Any feedback greatly appreciated as in totally over this belly!

A high school principal gave me a book about a year ago. It was entitled, One Word That Will Change Your Life. The premise of the book is for you to choose one word, use it as a filter, and by doing so, you will both simplify and focus your life. My one word was "connect." My goal as a pastor is to connect people to God in the greatest way possible.
Connect is still my one word but if I could pick another, my one word would be "hope." I think people need hope. My fear is people leave church services feeling guilty rather than feeling hopeful. My sense is they leave gritting their teeth promising both themselves and God they are going to "try" harder to get better. Trying versus trusting is probably the catalyst for these people's chronic failure if that makes sense? I didn't try to marry Jennifer, I married Jennifer. We don't try to follow Jesus, we trust in a grace-based relationship. Therefore we can follow Jesus.
Listen, God likes me and He likes you and we can't do anything about it. I heard a friend of mine say we can't disappoint God because He is all-knowing. God has seen me naked, He has seen me at my worst and at my best and to be honest He's not impressed. What I'm saying is if we can't disappoint the Father we can't impress Him either. Does this mean we should stop working the bake sale on Saturdays in front of Walmart to raise funds for our youth group's mission trip? Ha, you wished - no, it means we should fall in love with Jesus and stop being fake. It means we should stop being a prideful runaway when we fail and come back home so we can warm our hands by the fire, He's there you know, and He's waiting for us.
There's a story about a family with two little boys, and they were walking on the beach collecting seashells. They had found only fragments, just bits and pieces of shells and then they saw a starfish floating in the shallow water. One of the little boys decided to go get the starfish, and his mother and father encouraged it but every time the boy got about halfway there he would run back to the shore. Finally, the parents said, "Buddy, go get it, you can do it!" The little boy replied, "I can't. My hands are full of seashells." I wonder if that's a picture of most of us, holding tight to a fragmented life rather than the hopeful life God has planned for us? He told me to tell you that.

Wayne County Man Sentenced To 20 Years For Scamming 84 Victims
Dearborn, MI - Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette announced May 1, 2014 that Kenneth Sandoval, 36, of Dearborn, of Nationwide Consulting was sentenced to up to 20 years in prison after securing his conviction on one count of Conducting a Criminal Enterprise, a felony punishable by 20 years in prison, and two counts of Larceny by Conversion, $20,000 or more, a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
Sandoval defrauded approximately 84 victims out of $914,151. Schuette is seeking full restitution for the victims of Sandoval's racketeering scheme.
"Anyone trying to defraud vulnerable families already struggling to make ends meet must face the full consequences of their actions," said Schuette. "Scammers take note: we will continue to aggressively pursue lawbreakers and secure justice for hardworking Michigan homeowners."
One of Sandoval's victims, a Detroit mother of three children said at Sandoval's sentencing today, "We trusted [Sandoval] and after he took our money, he made fun of us. He even used scripture to deceive us."
Sandoval was today sentenced to serve 48 months to 20 years in prison on Racketeering charges and 24 months to 10 years in prison for two counts of Larceny by Conversion Over $20,000 before Judge David Groner in the Wayne County Circuit Court. His sentences are to be served concurrently.
Sandoval was arrested by Schuette in December 2013 and charged with one count of Conducting a Criminal Enterprise and two counts of Larceny by Conversion, $20,000 or more. Sandoval was convicted by Judge Groner in Wayne County's 3rd Circuit Court on January 19, 2014 after pleading guilty to the charges brought by Schuette.
Judge Groner said at Sandoval's sentencing, "This is egregious case, you preyed on these people. You are a con man on a grand scale. This case shocks the conscience."
Background on Sandoval and Nationwide Consulting
Kenneth Sandoval owned and operated Nationwide Consulting Group, LLC, and ran a debt settlement and mortgage modification scheme. Sandoval formed Nationwide in 2008, collecting money upfront from victims, targeting Southeast Michigan Hispanic families. The families Sandoval targeted largely lacked proficiency in English. After several months, Sandoval would deposit the victims' money saying a settlement on one or more of their loans had been reached. Sandoval then would instruct the victims to send him a certain sum of money to pay off the loan per the settlement.
After receiving the funds from his victims, Sandoval would deposit the money into his personal bank account. Sandoval and his wife spent the money on personal expenses. In one month alone, the Sandovals spent $80,000 on themselves.
Sandoval's co-defendant and employee, Zach Ortiz, 41, of Taylor, pleaded guilty to one count of Conducting a Continuing Criminal Enterprise, a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison, on April 11, 2014 before Judge Margaret VanHouten in Wayne County's Circuit Court. Ortiz recruited clients for Sandoval and Nationwide. Ortiz is next due in court for sentencing on May 13, 2014.

You have entered the word's cave of Mitchell Ellsmore, a renowned warrior of the English language with a passion for anything that riles up his forever restless mind.
Legend has it that Mitchell was born with a dictionary in one hand and a thesaurus in the other; scripts of wisdom that would come to dictate the way he would live his life.
As a baby, Mitchell could make pronunciations simply unmatched by his fellow daycare peers. And while he was beaten by Timmy Smith in the race for 'first word honours', his first spoken word 'agoraphobia' turned out to be much more impressive than Timmy's 'mama.'
When he was just five years of age, Mitchell made impressive metaphorical leaps in his linguistic development, connecting his masterful vocabulary with actual locative and contextual relevance. His defining moment arrived when he referred to his kindergarten classmate as a 'hopeless sycophant' as opposed to the more commonly used 'loser.' His teacher, Mrs Wipperton, described this moment as Mitchell's coming of age and rewarded the young stallion with a list of swear words to attach to his ever-growing repertoire of insults.
Issues are not issues until this stubbornly courageous man has sprayed his vernacular prowess over them.
You have entered the cave. Now take your subjugated place in the corner and admire Mitchell the Mighty Word Dragon!

Food Experiment - The Mayan's Favorite Drink
Violet saw a book at the library about Mayan heiroglyphs and picked it out for us to read at home. She is very interested in early humans and ancient peoples, so this book really hit the spot for her. On one page, there is a side panel about "The Mayans' Favorite Drink", made from cacoa beans. Violet was keen to try it out, though you might not guess it from her expression the in above picture! I think she had just finished eating a raw cacao bean, which is an interesting experience if you have not tried it before.
The process for turning cacao beans into something edible involves fermenting them immediately after they are harvested. This makes them edible, and apparently they don't really taste like chocolate at all until after the fermentation. I could not easily locate unfermented cacao beans, so I got the next level intermediate product: dry, unroasted cacoa beans. These are sold as a "Superfood" these days, so they were easy to order from Amazon.
Working from the one line description in the book, we roasted them in a cast iron pan for a bit.
I think the rear pot is a batch of beef stock Becky was making that day. After roasting, we tried to pulverize them in a mortar.
We quickly noticed that they had a shell, which comes off easily after roasting, yielding what is commonly known as cacao nibs.
The nibs have an interesting flavor. Texture is sort of squeaky, a little like cork, and flavor is strong and bitter, rather like coffee in a way. Of course there is a strong component of chocolate flavor, but eating these is nothing like eating chocolate. Everyone enjoyed picking the shells off the roasted beans.
Next, we worked some of the shelled beans with the mortar and pestle for a while. At first, dry crumbs are produced, but with further grinding an oily, chocolatey paste develops, known as chocolate liqueur.
To make chocolate out of this, one would add sugar and any other ingredients, then mill until the particle size is down around 20um.
But instead, we made an attempt at the Mayans' Favorite Drink.
We put our few tablespoons of paste from the mortar into a canning jar, added a little vanilla, plus a spoonful of honey.
~250ml of boiling water was poured in, and the contents of the jar mixed well. The liquid was poured between jars in a vain attempt to make it more foamy (the pouring mostly failed to engender the desired effect).
Time for a taste test. What do the tasters think?
Hmm, first thing was to strain it to remove the gritty particles.
After that we just kept adding honey until everyone felt it was drinkable!
A fun experiment, but I must report that no one has been clamoring for more Mayans' Favorite Drink since then. We did roast up all the rest of the beans and I've been eating them at work a few at a time. They are strangely compelling when eaten with cofee, a banana, or together with some fine dark chocolate.

I've been eating cacao nibs for years, though they've gotten very expensive and they're very un-green. What a great and tasty experiment!

I hadn't thought about the un-green aspect of cacoa/chocolate before. But of course you are right that any agricultural product from tropical regions that also support rainforest is a dicey proposition, environmentally speaking. A good reason to cut down on chocolate consumption in general.
This indeed was a fun experiment though!

Wanted to comment on your favorite Mayan drink but with anything other than Wordpress Blogs, I have issues (can't open a Google account due to something my DH did/did not do on computer set up and although I thought I set up an Openid with Live Journal (and at Openid) nothing I do seems to work . Anyway, a few things that may be of interest:
1.We watched an "America Unearthed" episode recently (History2HD) on proving Mayans had a connection to the US (Georgia), convincing argument & interesting: mounds, temples, language, esp. chemical analysis proving pigment Mayan Blue derived from clay found in Georgia.
2. Chocolate drinks: we roast coffee but have not tried our own cacao beans, however we have purchased them from: Nuts.com (they are listed as organic and raw) We tried them after sending some to our son who was then a Marine in Afghanistan trying to say awake on long patrols (home safe & now in college in So Cal). FYI, There is also a product called Choffy (roasted & ground cacao- http://www.drinkchoffy.com/) that we enjoy on occasion.
For "frothing chocolate try a Molinillo (http://www.uncommongoods.com/product/molinillo-hot-cocoa-frother). I received one this Christmas and it is fun to use.

After a week full of shenanigans, it is due time to finally reveal my secret project to you. As I am mostly into sewing Regency costumes, this might come as a little surprise, but: I have decided to make a Saxon robe for this year's Medieval and fantasy fair. Last year, one of my best friends took me there for the first time and, as I have quite enjoyed it, we will be going again this year. Last year, though, I wore some weird generic Medieval mish mash and honestly, it did not really make me happy.
So, this year I have decided to make the cut at around 1100 AD and go for something proper. As I am a huge fan of Bernard Cornwell's Uhtred and used to study quite a bit of Old English culture, the idea of making a Saxon gown was born. My inspiration for the whole project was this illustration from an 11th-century manuscript:
Having no real experience with Saxon garments I then had a look at the individual parts of the gown. Usually, it consisted of two t-tunics, a shorter, knee-length one worn on top and a long, plainer under-tunic. The top one, sometimes also called a "gunna" was often more ornate, than the bottom gown, worked with facings and / or embroidery. The sleeves of the gunna were also usually a little wider, to the point of being somewhat flared out at the ends.
Over the gowns, Saxon women of all ages wore differently draped veils, with or without a headrail, and a cape or mantle to stay warm. As the veils were usually pretty long, they also sometimes doubled as mantles, just like in the picture. On the same SCA website, I found this overview of all the parts: To see the whole entry on the site, which has been very, very helpful to me, just click one of the two images. :)
So far, I have completed the under-tunic, aka the kirtle. I made it from a very old, off-white bed sheet. As a result, it is really comfy and I totally love wearing it around the house, flouncing the gored skirt. The pattern I used was free and worked like a charm. The tunic has what is called "smocked" sleeves. Those are wider near the shoulders and have a tighter, tube-like fit at the wrists. They were more popular in Norse fashion, but, seeing the huge Danish influence in this period of English history, they were definitely also en-vogue with the fashion-conscious Saxon. ;)
As some of you might have seen, I managed to post a photo of it to the HSF "Black and White" challenge before I ran of to Berlin to partake in the aforementioned shenanigans. As that has been a little meager at best, here are some more pics and a recap of the challenge details. It is my very first Medieval gown and it may not be the height of my sewing capabilities, but still, I am a little proud of it.
The Challenge: HSF #9 – Black & White
Fabric: Old, off-white cotton bed sheet
Pattern: Adapted from this one here: http://eqos.deviantart.com/art/Pattern-Smock-Gown-75003263
Year: 900-1100
Notions: "Belt" from black leather strings
How historically accurate is it? The cotton isn't, neither is the machine sewing on the inside, but I'm happy with the overall look and feel…
Hours to complete: about 12-14 hours
First worn: For the photos and various fittings. I made it for a Medieval & fantasy fair in late May
Total cost: about € 3 for the leather strings.
And here is one more picture with the skirt gores spread out, showing off all that awesome flounciness:
Meanwhile I have also started working on the matching gunna. It is almost done and the plan is to finish it for the Medieval fair which, luckily, coincides with the dates of the HSF "Art" challenge. Hopefully that will result in a few shots of the whole ensemble in action, outside my living room for a change. Until then, I will keep up the spirit of secrecy for a little while longer. But it would be really mean to let you go empty handed. Thus, I will end this post with a few snippets of the half-finished ensemble:
That should be all about the Medieval side trip for now. I will keep on updating it along with the latest Regency dress progress and maybe, a little input on Bavarian folk costume. Given, of course, this topic interests you. Would it? ;)
Love, Nessa

Six fire crews were called in to tackle a fire in a two-storey building late last night.
The blaze occupied a clock tower and adjoining stable block in Garden Lane, Tyringham.
Three three main jets, one hose reel, two sets of breathing apparatus and a turntable ladder were used to bring the fire under control.
Both the building and clock tower were severely damaged by fire, and the stables were 10 per cent damaged by fire.

SOUTHEAST GLENDALE — After both teams took turns ripping each other by 16 and 14 points, respectively, in the first two games, it was hard to get a bead on just who was in control of Friday's Pacific League boys' volleyball rivalry match between Hoover High and host Glendale.
Control of the next two games switched hands incessantly, but in the end the Nitros came out on the right side of both to notch a 25-9, 11-25, 26-24, 25-22 win in the resumption of the rivalry after the Tornadoes program took a one-year hiatus last season.
"We missed playing our rival school, that game is really fun," said Glendale outside hitter Josh Collado, whose team picked up its first league win to improve to 1-4. "It's good that we got to play them this year. All the excitement builds up."
The fourth game was back and forth and separated by no more than a couple points throughout, before Collado gave the Nitros a 23-20 lead with three consecutive aces. Kyle Hulguin and Victor Bernardino combined on a block to set up match point and Collado's ensuing serve was a near ace when it was deflected high into the rafters by the Tornadoes' serve-receive. But Hoover got the ball back over the net and won the point, as well as the next one, to put a little more heat on the Nitros before finally succumbing.

Taipei, June 13 (CNA) Premier Lin Chuan (林全) said on Tuesday that the Cabinet will review the legality of approval issued by the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) for a major local cement producer to extend its mining rights in eastern Taiwan.Lin told the media that the review will be conducted in one week and if the approval issued to Asia Cement Corp. (亞泥) is found to lack due process, the Executive Yuan will hold the persons responsible accountable.He said that if the public is still unhappy with the results of the review, the Cabinet will invite the Control Yuan, the country's top watchdog body, to launch an investigation.On March 20, the Legislative Yuan's Economics Committee passed a motion demanding that the MOEA not extend Asia Cement's mining rights in Taroko in Hualien, eastern Taiwan, within six months, pending amendments to the Mining Act that would require environmental impact assessments on mining projects.It was later found, however, that the MOEA had already granted Asia Cement a 20-year extension on March 14 without public knowledge.The approval for Asia Cement to extend its mining rights triggered an outcry among environmental protection activists and the protests became even more visible following the death of respected filmmaker and environmental advocate Chi Po-lin (齊柏林) on Sunday.Asia Cement has felt the fallout from the death of Chi, since his 2013 documentary "Beyond Beauty: Taiwan from Above" (看見台灣) depicted the man-made destruction of Taiwan's environment. Chi used images of an area in Taroko National Park that has been deforested by Asia Cement's mining activity.Soon after Chi's death, a whale-watching cruise operator who took Chi on a cruise off Hualien last month published a photo of the same mining area of Asia Cement that was taken by Chi during the outing.The photo included a message from Chi that read: "Asia Cement has dug even deeper than five years ago when I shot 'Beyond Beauty: Taiwan from Above.'"The petition staged by environmental activists against the extension of the mining rights for Asia Cement gained momentum after Chi's death. In response to the photo taken by Chi in May, Asia Cement Chairman Douglas Hsu (徐旭東) said on Tuesday that the move to dig deeper is aimed at reducing the area being mined.Hsu said that the deeper digging will be used as a fish farm in the future.Hsu's comments sparked further criticism from environmental protection activists.The petition against the extension of Asia Cement's mining rights has collected more than 130,000 signatures, according to the Citizen of the Earth, Taiwan, which organized the petition.

The recommendations from the evergreen study were presented to the school board on January 14. These are preliminary recommendations. The administration continues to refine the recommendations to make them suitable for MCPS.
The proposed salary scales are in draft form. Additionally, the board must approve the study and allocate appropriate resources before the proposed pay scales could be implemented.
An employee's salary under the new scales will be based on their years of experience, the market value for their position and their current pay with MCPS.
Most employees will receive a pay increase and no employee will see a decrease in pay as a result of the study.
Human Resources is currently working with Evergreen to tentatively place each employee in the appropriate spot on the new pay scales. Final data will be available in the spring.

I know I don't have to say it again... but I love weddings! This wedding was SO special because it was for a friend who was more like a younger sister growing up. It is a joy to see the woman she has grown into and that she has truly fallen head over heels in love. Chris treats Shannon like a princess & loves her through & through. You really can't ask for a better start to a lifetime together! Their day was full of beautiful scenery and intricate details that made their wedding just perfect. I could show you SO many pictures, but I only chose my favorites (and there's still a lot! haha)!
And this father/daughter dance... I just have to take a minute to share. Shannon gave her dad the job of finding the perfect song for them to dance to at the reception. Pat looked high & low and could not find the perfect song... so he decided to write it! Secretly (with only his wife and nobody else knowing) he wrote and recorded a song about Shannon, and then had the DJ play it for their first dance together. The picture on the left is her face when the DJ was explaining that the song he was about to play was written by her dad. Let me tell you... there weren't many dry eyes among the female guests at that moment... including me!

While yours truely was studying in the 3rd standard – we had very few outings as a gang. One of such rare opportunities that came our way was the play cinderella hosted in the cubbon park- bala bhavan. Miss shyamala had announced that everybody should bring 1Rupees as enterence and transportation fee.
That saturday – school was announced closed. We were all in jubilent moods – mostly because there is no school, very few of us knew anything about the play itself.
Clad in my best, brand new Nehru – kurtha,pyjama with waist coat – mothers R&D on me since she had decided to stitch every possible dress in the book for me, I started off for the school. Mother prepared chappathis for me – I hated those cardboard styled chappaties – poor quality of wheat that was available those days.
To make sure this cardboard crispys were edible, mother smeared it with Ghee and to make sure I ate it, she sprinkled sugar freely on it. I loved sugar!
This was neatly packed in a plastic bag so that I can easily carry and dispose off later.
A Red BTS bus was parked in front of our school. We were just packed like saradines, 6 in a row. To ensure I got a good foot hold, i thrust somehow the chappathi bag into my waist coat and boarded the bus.
It was full fun with 130 odd kids singing every song from one two buckle my shoe to Jana gana mana…. the same way it was sung in every movie while going to picnics.
I vaugely remember being escorted in a row from the MG Road end to Bhal-Bhavan. Alas, due to some reason the play was postponed to next month it seems. The head miss ensured that we were not disappointed. We mounted the putani express and played that train game for next one month.
Come lunch time, every body opened their boxes. I pulled out my cardboard chappatees too. Oh my gosh!, what with that heat, sugar – they just expressed solidarity with each other and had become one thick lump – a far cry from the moons they were!
Not hungry, but eager to play around with friends made me quickly forget it. My miss who had probably seen my plight forced me to eat half a dosa which she had prepared and brought.
After that in a single file we boarded the bus and too exhausted this time, near 50% sleeping on each other – we made it back to school.
I trodded back to home fully exhausted due to heat and playing around and with a light dinner went off to sleep.
Around midnight, I just wokeup to from a dream where there were small ants running all over me – I just screamed Amma….
Mother switched on the lights and asked – what happened? Did you see some bad dream? She lovingly enquired. I said no..something is itching.
She removed my waist coat which I was quite fond off and it was impossible for any new dress to be removed unless its the school uniform. So, this being the case – I had gone to sleep in the same dress.
Something crawled onto my mothers hand and by instinct she dropped it and observed it. Thousands of small red ants were there – in reality – no dreams. Mother literally dragged me out of bed, removed all my cloths and applied powder. There were red bite marks all over.
Next day morning, we figured out why the red ants were so busy tasting me all over. I had forgotten to remove the sugary lump of chappathi which mother had assumed to be consumed!!
Anyway, Cinderella was staged next month and we all saw it this time in Bhal Bhavan sans the chappathi. Since the show was for 2PM we had lunch at school and left for cubbon park.
Some skin biting play it was!

What a difference great weather makes!!!
This weekend I had the EngPlay. This is a play put on entirely by engineering students. This year it was 9 small skits, I starred in 3 of them. IT WAS AWESOME!!! My brother managed to make it to the Friday show and loved it, my aunts and cousins came to the Saturday show and thought it was wonderful also!!! My mom got some very sweet phone calls afterwards, too bad she couldn't make it. It is a bit of a drive.
Friday night was also the End Of Term (EOT) party. So after the play I headed over to the engineering lounge, had some drinks and then headed TO THE SPUR!!!
Side note: The Silver Spur is a karaoke bar in Waterloo, it is also 4 blocks from my house. I love going, it is almost always full of my friends and if it's not I ALWAYS make new friends. Oh, it is slightly sketchy but... I really don't notice it anymore. Thank goodness!
I sang Meatloaf, John Michael Montgomery AND Bon Jovi. What a great lineup!
Saturday was pretty relaxed. I got a much needed sleep in and then went for a run through the park. It was so sunny and tons of people were out walking. It felt really good to be outside.
DAVELA also came back to town to see my show. DAVELA is my roommate/BFF. He is my most favorite person ever. He is also moving to Saskatoon in 2 weeks. I am mildly upset. He's moving with his girlfriend, whom I love, so I really should just be happy for him. It's hard though considering we have only been a couple of hours apart for the past 4 years, if not just down the hall from each other. This past term has been awesome, it's been Dave, Me and Pete (lived w/ Pete since rez). We all got along so well and I will be sad to give that up.
ANYWAY, Dave and I went for lunch of PIZZA and BEER. What a combo. After which I came home and got ready for the last show!!
The show went really well, there were some extra lines thrown in that were... slightly raunchy. I don't think my family minded though. Afterwards I got 2 gorgeous bouquets of flowers and big hugs from everyone. What a great feeling! I love my family so much!!!
Saturday night was YET AGAIN The Spur... for a friends birthday. Dave and I went out with intentions of having tons of fun as it was most likely our last party night together. Well, we had fun. We sang, we danced, we laughed, we (I) almost cried. It was perfect. AND I didn't even have to wear a jacket it was so warm!!!
Sunday was more sleep in and then I decided it would be a great idea to do a work-out with my roommate... who is a work-out fiend. The first part SUCKED!! Sprinting and running is not my think it seems. Once we got to the park and started doing other things though it felt really good. He knows what he's doing and I kept up for the most part.
I was super exhausted when I got home but I felt awesome. Then it was COOKING TIME!! The agreement that Dave made with me was that if he drove up to see my show, I would have to make him dinner. I made chocolate cupcakes (per request), bacon wrapped tenderloin, roasted veggies, salad, and cheese/bread platter. Everything turned out great and Dave enjoyed it all also.
I know weekend updates are sort of boring but I had the BEST weekend so I had to write it down somewhere so I wouldn't forget it.
I hope it is sunny where you are!!!

|Viktor Byhr and his Sicilian beauty Etna
Currently, he seems to be as frequent in the Gothenburg galleries as on the street. No matter the space used, he wants us to stop - and think - twice. It's art with a message. A message concerning how we live and how we spend the resources of this planet. It's serious... and playful. Sometimes, he just wants us to stop - and smile.
This Pearl of Gothenburg soon goes LA. Along with other interesting artists, Byhr is selected for a global showcase of spray can art: CANCEPTUAL V.4, at the Crewest Gallery, September 8-25, 2011. Peek his piece >>here.

Intel's new Core i7-7740K overclocks to 5GHz easily
Intel's upcoming Core i7-7740K hits 5GHz easily, with just 1.205V of power
By: Anthony Garreffa | CPU, APU & Chipsets News | Posted: Jun 19, 2017 12:23 am
Comment | Email to a Friend | Font Size: AA
Intel is on the verge of releasing its new X299 platform, with its new Core i7-7740K processor that seems to be hitting 5GHz pretty easily, and at low voltages - so low temps, too.
VideoCardz has got the reviewers' guide on its hands, and based across 100 samples of the Core i7-7740K, it should hit 5GHz with just 1.205V of power. At its worst, the 7740K needs 1.341V to hit 5GHz. The guide says that the Core i7-7740K has a higher overclocking ceiling than the 7700K, with 5.1GHz achievable with 1.255-1.411V.

I did not get the chance to turn on my computer until now, which is an hour before dinner time.
The reason is because I have been busy making little spring rolls, rebuilding my inventory of home-made appetizers.
And I love it this way. There is no half way for me most of the time. If I am into something, I am all in!
