In the 1970s, coax cable replaced twin lead as cable networks expanded and required greater bandwidth. The F connector became the standard termination due to its simplicity and low attenuation.
Installing these connectors correctly is relatively simple and requires only a few tools. It is worth investing in the right coax crimping tools to avoid loose connectors that can cause ghosting or tiling of television signals. If signal quality is of particular concern then the use of Gold Plated Connectors should be considered.The latest RG6 coaxial cables are available in various types: From Twin-Shielded up to Quad-Shielded. The cable has a black outer jacket for weather protection, two or three shield layers made of braided wire and foil, a white dielectric layer, and a solid center conductor made of copper. Twin shielded cable has a braided wire shield over a layer of foil, while a Quad-Shield cable has two braided wire layers with foil sandwiched between them (Image Right).
F Connector Types
There are three common types of F connector to choose from for installation on cut and prepared coaxial cable: Twist-On, Crimp-On, and Compression Fittings.Twist-On F Connector – These are the simplest to install. After the coaxial cable is prepared by stripping back the plastic insulation, the connector is installed by twisting it over the cut end of the cable. These connectors are the usual choice for the DIY installer and although very popular it should be noted that they have no weather protection and are recommended for temporary use. (See Details…) Crimp-On F Connector – Has a metal ferrule that is compressed over part of the connector. This requires a special tool with either a circular or hexagonal shaped jaw. Like the twist-on types, these connectors are not weatherproof. If they're installed on an antenna, they should be protected inside a water tight box. (See Details…)
F Connector Tools
While it's possible to install F connectors with only a knife, achieving a reliable, long-lasting connection is best done with the proper tools. Each manufacturer may have different specifications, so always check their installation guides.
A coax cable stripper forms the end of the cable properly, cutting through the outer jacket, shield layer and dielectric in one operation. Done properly, this won't nick the center conductor and each part of the coaxial cable with be the correct length.
Crimping and compression tools are designed for use with their proprietary connectors. The tools are costly, however, they're the best choice for professional results.
Installing a Twist-On F Connector
With the coax stripped, fold the shield wires back over the black outer cover and twist the connector onto the end. Make sure that none of the wires or the foil is touching the center conductor.
Installing a Crimp-On F Connector
With the coax stripped, slide the crimp ring down over the black outer cover. Fold the shield wires back over the cover and remove the inner foil, if necessary. Push the connector down over the coax end. Slide the crimp ring back up over the shield wires and crimp it using a Coax Crimping Tool.
Installing a Compression Connector
Strip the coax and slide the compression connector onto it. Be careful to handle the connector only by the threaded end, not the compression fitting. Put the assembly into the Compression Crimping Tool and apply sufficient force to compress the assembly.

It's a word that can strike fear into the hearts of buyers and sellers everywhere, and quickly sabotage a property sale. But what does it mean?
In real estate, an encroachment is defined as when, "A structure from one property extends over the property line of another." Seems pretty simple, right? Well, encroachments can be real deal breakers even if they don't adversely affect anyone's quality of life. There's actually a statute of limitations on how long someone has to claim an encroachment on their property and what the consequences are if they're proven correct.
So, how do encroachment's happen? Usually as a result of an improperly-performed survey or incorrectly drawn property lines. They can also be caused by unpermitted or…

After the drama of days before, we feared that the sea was beyond our reach. However, at the first sight of blue sky we dashed to the dolmuş and hurtled around the coast to a secluded stretch of coast. Placing the clutter of cafes and kiosks at our backs and gazing onto all that was crystal and cobalt, some of the electricity wrought by the storm was lost from me, and I let myself be soothed.
I read for a while, to the sound of gently lapping waves, then realising that fantasy had lapsed fiction, stepped into silken waters and let them embrace me. We swam out to the boom that separated the swimming area from the harbour traffic, and clambered up onto the floats that marked the boundary.
From our unlikely thrones, we glimpsed an occasional flash of flippers as a pair of sea turtles disturbed the glassy surface. On a ridiculous whim we sang to them, and they drew nearer, hanging just below the water, basking alongside us in the beating sun. Once our serenade was over, the gentle creatures began their slow sojourn back out of the cove, and we threw ourselves back into the water where we lazily rode the wake of passing boats back to the shore.
I woke that night to silent lightning, strobing through the darkness in great luminescent shudders. Startling as it was at first, in time it became a comfort, and I drifted back into sleep as the drama played out through gently closed eyelids.
How could the sky have so much rain to give? I lay awake again at half past four, looking down at legs stark beneath their winding sheet and listening the the intensifying downpour. Despite the abundance of water lashing the patio door, my throat was dry and aching. I longed to throw the door open and turn my bare arms up toward the endless torrent and howl.
Somehow I slept, because when my eyes opened again it was to the dawn call to prayer. I pulled on my bathrobe and stood on the balcony, staring blearily at the bright stars emerging from broken clouds, as the lone voice of collective prayer refracted from the mountains and returned to me a millionfold. Silent lightning crossed the sky as the final echoes fade. Somehow a new day had begun.

Spoiler alert! If you want to guess the flavors of the 2017 Mystery Peeps on your own, read no further.
We tried to guess with our expert sweet eaters. We hate to sound smug, but our panel of three suburban kids met with some success.
Mystery flavor 1
Our guess: Maple syrup.
Actual flavor: Maple syrup.
Mystery flavor 2
Our guess: Passion fruit.
Actual flavor: Blueberry.
At least two of our panel of three identified blueberries as a top note. So, there's that.
Mystery flavor 3
Our guess: Lemon lime.
Actual flavor: Grape slush.
Wow! Way off. But that's a curve ball. What does "slush" actually taste like?

Stylistic and historical development since 1912
The influence of foreign styles
Until the mid-1920s, official and commercial architectural commissions in China were chiefly designed in an eclectic European style popularized by such treaty ports as Guangzhou (Canton), Xiamen, Fuzhou, and Shanghai, much of it designed by foreign architects. However, about 1925 Lü Yanzhi designed the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum located in Nanjing, one of the first important constructions designed entirely by a Chinese architect in modern history. The building's comprehensive plan drew on the style of emperors' tombs of the Ming and Qing dynasties, a notion of historical reference that greatly inspired young Chinese architects. In 1925 a group of foreign-trained Chinese architects, including Zhuang Jun and Fan Wenzhao (Robert Fan), launched a renaissance movement to study and revive traditional Chinese architecture and to find ways of adapting it to modern needs and techniques. In 1930 they founded Zhongguo Yingzao Xueshe ("The Society for the Study of Chinese Architecture"). The following year Liang Sicheng joined the group; he would be the dominant figure in the movement for the next 30 years. The fruits of these architects' work can be seen in new universities and in major government and municipal buildings built in Beijing, Nanjing, and Shanghai during the 1930s, where they contended with the rise of Western-designed architecture such as the old Shanghai concert hall (formerly known as the Nanjing Theatre) and the Customs House along Shanghai's Bund. The war with Japan (1937–45) put an end to further developments along these lines for a time; however, this tradition was revived in the 1950s with buildings such as the National Art Gallery of China (1959) in Beijing and is still practiced to this day.
After 1949, the urgent need in China for housing and industrial building led to many examples of purely utilitarian architecture and to major construction projects such as dams and bridges. Beijing and other big cities were transformed by spectacular planning projects, but an awareness of the traditional role of symbolism in architecture was often retained and adapted. Indeed, much of the architecture in the 1950s was built in the Soviet style of imposing edifices centered on grand squares and axes. During this period, large portions of the Forbidden City in Beijing were restored and established as a public museum. Lamentably, most of the city's great outer walls were taken down in the name of modernization and to facilitate vehicular circulation. A new primary thoroughfare (Chang'an Boulevard), now symbolically on an east-west axis rather than traditionally oriented north-south, was also established there. In 1959 a vast square for public political activity was completed in front of the Tiananmen (Gate of Heavenly Peace, the entryway to the Imperial City), flanked on one side by the complex containing the Museum of Chinese History and the Museum of Chinese Revolution and on the other side by the Great Hall of the People. These dignified structures, part of the "Ten Grand Buildings" built from 1958 to 1959, were modeled after the Soviet style, with a hint of the Chinese vernacular in details such as a slight turn of a cornice.
Over the course of the Cultural Revolution (1966–76), many magnificent older buildings and their exquisite decorations were seriously damaged or destroyed, as the new regime regarded them as emblems of decadence and moribundity. Most new commissions were monotonously imposing structures. The end of Cultural Revolution architecture was marked when the regime's founder, Mao Zedong, died in 1976 and was buried in a grand mausoleum, located at the south end of Tiananmen Square. Designed by a large team of architects that same year, the monument bears a resemblance to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.Michael Sullivan Jerome Silbergeld
Into the 21st century
After this rather fallow period in Chinese architecture, the Chinese building industry, beginning in the 1980s—with the implementation of China's new "opening up" economic and diplomatic policies—entered an unparalleled period of prosperity. This boom was in part a result of the new political structure, which provided sufficient funds for Chinese architects to explore different creative possibilities, and in part because China's economic development during this period created a need for an increased number of office towers, hotels, shopping spaces, and urban housing, accompanied by massive new roadway construction. All of this required the tearing down of older structures in the name of urban renewal, particularly of domestic urban housing, and the displacement and relocation of tens of millions of urban residents. Massive numbers of migrant construction workers flooded China's cities to carry out this labour, which has put the Chinese social and natural ecologies under extraordinary stress. Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjing, and other provincial capitals in the eastern part of China became rapidly modernized within the space of a decade and similar to one another in appearance through unified urban planning and massive construction. These urban examples were followed afterward by inland cities such as Xi'an, Chongqing, and Chengdu in Sichuan, and Wuhan in Hubei. Among the largest commissions at the time were the Beijing Xiang Shan Hotel designed by Chinese-born American architect I.M. Pei in 1982; the Shanghai Grand Theater designed by French architect Jean-Marie Charpentier in 1994; and the Shanghai Jin Mao Tower in 1998 (until 2008 the tallest skyscraper in China), designed by the American firm of Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill. The diverse nationalities of these architects and architectural firms reflect the determination of the government and Chinese architectural community to cooperate with other countries.
In the face of such rapid change, some worried that this massive expansion would come at the cost of tradition, beauty, and a sense of humanity. Critics pointed out that many of these tall new structures were characterless concrete or glass towers that made many Chinese cities virtually indistinguishable from each other. Moreover, the inclusion of the Chinese vernacular in these structures often took on the form of empty postmodern gestures, such as the inclusion of a pagoda on top of a glass skyscraper. Beyond issues involving the structures themselves, this rapid expansion posed serious problems in terms of congestion and pollution, a circumstance that became more problematic as the eyes of the world were turned toward Beijing, the site of the Summer Olympic Games in 2008. As a result of such concerns and as a result of the experiences and lessons of other industrial countries, architects and urban planners in China increasingly focused on issues such as preserving historical structures, controlling air pollution, creating public spaces, and creating "green" (energy-efficient, environment-friendly) buildings.Liu Qiyi
At the turn of the 21st century, responding to the long-standing concern for preserving tradition as China entered deeper into the world economy and the accompanying effects of globalization, Chinese architects continued to search for a viable style of Chinese architecture for the new millennium. Some prominent architects as Zhang Bo, She Junnan, and Cheng Congzhou have continued to follow the pattern established earlier by Liang Sicheng. The large-scale Beijing Western Railway Station, designed by the Beijing Constructing and Designing Research Institute in 1995, reflects the continuation of this philosophy. The modern station, equipped with the newest forms of transportation technology, was executed with a combination of tradition and modernity that has continued to define much of Chinese architectural production in the early 21st century. Critics, however, have chastened this as "big roof architecture," traditional decoration on an essentially non-Chinese structure, and regard it as a dead-end hybrid product not likely to survive the forces of modernity.
With the Summer Olympic Games in 2008 came a group of internationally-renowned structures, together with a further demonstration of globalization in China's architectural sphere. The Olympic Green was designed by Albert Speer, Jr., son of Nazi Germany's leading architect; the genuinely original Olympic track and field stadium, the National Stadium popularly dubbed the "Bird's Nest," was designed by the Swiss firm of Herzog & de Meuron in consultation with Chinese artist Ai Weiwei (who later distanced himself from the project); the National Aquatics Centre, called the "Water Cube," was designed by an Australian-Chinese consortium. At the same time, the face of central Beijing's architecture was further altered by two massive and controversial constructions: the National Centre for the Performing Arts, called "The Egg" and contrasting with the rectilinear architecture of Tiananmen, which it adjoins, designed by French architect Paul Andreu; and the CCTV Headquarters, designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas. In the wake of the Olympics, the German firm von Gerkan, Marg and Partners undertook a massive renovation project that joined the National Museum of Chinese History and the Museum of the Chinese Revolution as the National Museum of China. On its completion in 2011, the museum boasted more than 2,000,000 square feet (200,000 square metres) of space, making it one of the largest in the world.
As urban Chinese residents moved from small one- and two-story buildings into apartment blocks and condominiums more massive than any imagined by Maoist planners, some of the very wealthy were provided the opportunity to move into new retro-style architectural gated communities being built on the outskirts of larger cities such as Beijing and Shanghai. Avoiding the latest modernist trends, these protected communities mimicked Tudor-period English villages or German Bauhaus architectural schemes, designed by European firms such as that of Albert Speer, Jr., and providing city dwellers with free-standing single-family homes that feature all the amenities of the suburban European or American lifestyle.
While efforts have been made in cities such as Beijing to preserve something of China's architectural heritage, the prime result has been to facilitate further replacement of the old by the new. How this rapid expansion of urban architecture will be resolved in terms of the congestion and pollution it generates, both in the city and in the rural areas that produce the raw materials for this explosive growth, remains to be seen.Jerome Silbergeld

Is this for real? We have a 4 year old?
Right now, you love Power Rangers & Captain America. Your favourite veggies are asparagus and broccoli & you've recently discovered Mac & Cheese (the KD kind). Milk is still one of your drinks of choice. You're rambunctious and always full of energy. You're super stubborn - okay let's rephrase, you're strong willed. You're (slowly) learning how to share & you're beyond curious of the world (what's that mean?, what's next?, and then what?). You love to read & be outside - no more training wheels on your bike - but you're still learning. We can get you to sleep in your room & some nights you sleep there, all by yourself (well - with Teddy, Woody, Baboy & Mickey - your must have friends). You love wearing belts with your shorts and skinnys, putting your wallet in your back pocket (like daddy-o does) and dress yourself with the best swag. You are beyond thrilled to start school and make new friends.
Aiden baby, we can't believe how BIG you are.
We love you more than words. You are simply our greatest joy.
& in less than one month - you'll be a big brother.
Happy Birthday Daniel Aiden!

I cringed as I watched the bloodbath claimed by ISIS in Paris in the news recently and wondered, "Why Paris?" The world was shocked by the wanton murder of at least 129 people while they ate their dinners, drove down the street and entered a soccer stadium.
The West and the rest of the world do not understand that ISIS, like its parent organization al Qaeda, is only following the thinking and practices of an 18th century Saudi named Abd al-Wahhab. Alastir Crooke has written an insightful article for the "Huffington Post" called, "You Can't Understand ISIS if You Don't Know the History of Wahhabism in Saudi Arabia."
From al-Wahhab and his followers' perspective, the world was divided into faithful Muslims who followed al-Wahhab's teachings while the rest of the Muslim world was infidel, worthy of death. Infidels (unbelievers) in his view would include Shiites, and all Sunnis, as well as the rest of non-Muslim world.
According to Crooke, "Any doubt or hesitation" of any of al-Wahhab's beliefs "would deprive a man of immunity of his property and his life." All Muslims must pledge themselves to the Caliph—the Muslim successor to Mohammed. Those who did not, "must be killed, their wives and daughters ravished, and their possessions confiscated," al-Wahhab wrote.
Al-Wahhab's teachings were used to the advantage of Abd al-Saud, the founder of the modern nation of Saudi Arabia in the early to mid-twentieth century. Al-Saud used the fervor of al-Wahhabism to unite the Bedouins. But by the 1930s the al-Wahhbabis rebelled against al-Saud in a civil war. When al-Saud defeated them, he machine-gunned them, according to Crooke.
Al-Saud then used the discovery of oil in his land to build his kingdom. On one hand, he built a modern nation based on oil production, protected by the United States, and on the other his family held to the teachings of al-Wahhab. That split personality of Saudis persists to this day. Osama bin Laden was a Wahhab who used his family's oil wealth to wage jihad against first the Soviets in Afghanistan from 1979-1985, and then against the United States leading to 9/11.
"On the one hand, ISIS is deeply Wahhabist. On the other hand, it is ultra radical in a different way. It could be seen essentially as a corrective movement to contemporary Wahhabism," according to Crooke.
The Saudi government supports war against ISIS while other Saudis support it. This schizophrenic approach is a major threat to the Saudi royal family and to the oil wealth of Saudi Arabia.
ISIS not only sees the Royal Family of Saudi Arabia as infidel, but it also sees al-Qaeda as apostate as well. Bin Laden counseled it was too soon to take territory because having boundaries opened the movement to attack from the United States and the West as we are seeing now in Iraq and Syria. Patience, according to bin Laden, required that the West wear itself out. At that point Wahhab Islam would rise to defeat the West.
The leaders of ISIS violently disagree. Their strategy is to build their state, proclaim a caliphate, and use modern media to attract mujahideen (Muslim holy warriors) to their cause.
Attacks against Paris twice in recent months, first against Charlie Hebdo and then recently against Parisian diners, a museum attack against westerners in Tunisia, destruction of a Russian airliner flying from the Sinai Peninsula, the killing of Turks at a peace rally in Istanbul, the bombing of a mosque in Tunisia, a bombing in Beirut, and others in Yemen and Libya, and an embassy bombing in Egypt, have all been tied to ISIS, according to an article from the New York Times called "ISIS is Probably Responsible for at Least 1000 Deaths Outside Iraq and Syria."
The goal of ISIS is to start a holy war of the West against Islam. The more the West reacts, the more young followers flow to ISIS, especially with the Wahhab/ISIS view of sanctioned rapes. The question is, "Will the enemies of ISIS overwhelm it before it starts a holy war?" Will the very Wahhabi violence and philosophy cause not only the West but Muslim nations to rise up and crush it?
My guess is yes. ISIS will eventually be destroyed or at least driven again into hiding. Osama bin Laden's strategy for conquest through patience was right, though evil. Bin Laden's $100,000 investment in the 9/11 attacks have brought at least a $3 trillion return through wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. His was a far more dangerous strategy.
While ISIS attacks on the West and elsewhere will continue, the responsibility of the U.S. and other western governments is not to overreact. Black and white thinking as practiced by Wahhabism will bring destruction on itself as it did in Saudi Arabia in the 1930s. We can learn from bin Laden's counseling for patience.

Re: Jack O'Neil passes06/04/17
posted by Mary-Ann
Thanks for the post - this is a very nice article and tribute to Jack O'Meil, someone most of us have heard of who was such a part of our history.
He was so right about the healing powers of the ocean. My two favorite places to just sit on the sand and let the scene spiritually wash over you are a little beach near Fort Bragg where I could sit for literally hours watching the little harbor seals swim and play and occasionally pop up and check me out just as I was watching them. And the waves perpetually rolling in. The light changes, sometimes grey and cool, sometimes sparkling in the sun. And the quiet background music of the surf on a calm afternoon is all magic.
The other was a little sandy beach on northwestern Maui where we sat and watched the sunset one evening. We pretty much had the beach to ourselves - no seals this time, just those waves rolling in without fail and that soothing background surf music and the ocean reaching out to the horizon and beyond.
And our own Ocean Beach - rarely calm and soothing but always powerful and strong, but just as hypnotizing to experience when hunkered down in the wind or pacing the shore, fighting the wind. Great if you're mad at the world - you will end up laughing off whatever is bothering you.
It's the one thing I miss most living away from the coast - but I can close my eyes and almost be there.

Technology is a wonderful thing when it works, unfortunately, it wasn't on my side this time! Whilst trying to improve my email system so that you only see the content you love, I came to learn the hard way that you can't always rely on tech to find an easy solution.
As trivial as these issues may be, when tech goes wrong, things can get heated and stressful.
Read on to discover one very helpful tip that will help you deal with a technology blunder (and if you are subscribed to my Monday Motivator emails, this is also a huge thank you).
The plan: improving Monday Motivation emails
I've been sending out a little booster email for over 10 years now – at first just once a month but they proved to be so popular they now go out once a week!
There are now 2,000 of you that are subscribed to the Monday Motivator email list. To ensure you're all getting the content you want from me and at the right time, I sent an email to the people that haven't opened a Monday Motivator email for a while.
When it all went wrong
The next thing I knew I was receiving a dozen responses a minute from you lovely people asking to remain on the list… Over 900 people had been targeted as not opening but that figure should have been much smaller. Over 900 people are still opening the Monday Motivation emails so I knew it couldn't be right!
The most frustrating thing about the situation; I'm aiming to create a more personal experience for you all online and the system meant I stumbled at the first hurdle.
The most lovely thing about the situation; so many of you responded to the email with great enthusiasm to let me know that you're still very much keen on getting your little slice of Monday motivation from me.
So, I want to thank those who responded – you put a smile on my face and saved the life of my laptop that was so close to being launched from the first floor window.
The tip: WATERR
This is a tip to bear in mind for those moments that we all have to experience when our 'kit' just doesn't do what it's flipping supposed to do – whether that's the computer, the car, the printer, the phone or the card machine.
Instead of clenching your teeth, swearing or fantasising about the damage you want to do to this piece of kit, here's an alternative:
Sometimes tech can be slow – wait a minute and it might just work (hopefully) but if not…
Assess the problem
Did you put it in the right way? Is the power on? All those annoying things that non-techie people will tell you to do.
Take a long breath in
Ok so it still doesn't work? Walk away for a minute and take a long breath in
Exhale long and slow
Breathe out slowly (not looking in the direction of the troublesome technology in question)
Refresh yourself
Make yourself a drink – a cup of tea or just a glass of water. Maybe get some fresh air.
Resume the task
If object in question still refuses to work, then – and only then – should you consider throwing the damn thing out of the window. But then remember you probably know someone awesome who might just be able to fix it for you.
Yes it's me talking about breathing again and it won't be the last time. We all need reminding to do the little things because it's ignoring the little things that makes the big problems happen.
If you want to get a little bit of Monday motivation from me, sign up to the emails below.

Prosecutors in San Diego won't charge former NFL star Junior Seau after his live-in girlfriend alleged she was assaulted.
The San Diego County district attorney's office said Friday that it reached its decision after reviewing an investigation by Oceanside police. The office declined to elaborate in a brief statement.
The 41-year-old Seau was arrested early Monday on suspicion of domestic violence. Police said his 25-year-old girlfriend reported that she was assaulted during an argument.
The former standout linebacker for USC and the San Diego Chargers quickly posted bail. A few hours later, his SUV plunged down a seaside cliff. Seau escaped serious injury.
Seau also played for the Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots before retiring in 2009.
Indianapolis Pro Bowl tight end Dallas Clark was put on injured reserve Friday and will have season-ending wrist surgery.
Clark said he met with three surgeons before the decision and plans to return next year for a ninth season.
The Colts did not say how or when Clark was hurt, but he appeared to grab at his left wrist during a play Oct. 17 at Washington.
Colts lose Clark for year
NFL fines 12 more
players in crackdown
The NFL fined 12 more players, mostly for unnecessary roughness in games last weekend, sending another strong message that violent conduct wouldn't be tolerated.
Minnesota defensive end Ray Edwards was fined the most, $20,000, for spearing Dallas running back Marion Barber on Sunday.
New Orleans cornerback Malcolm Jenkins was fined $10,000 for two hits, one to the head area of Tampa Bay quarterback Josh Freeman and one out of bounds.
Tennessee defensive end William Hayes was fined $10,000 for a late hit, while teammate Dave Ball was given a $5,000 fine for roughing the passer with a hit to the head or neck area against Jacksonville.
Three Houston players were fined $5,000: guard Wade Smith for a leg whip, defensive end Adewale Ogunleye for a late hit on Kansas City quarterback Matt Cassel, and safety Bernard Pollard for hitting a Chiefs player out of bounds.
Philadelphia quarterback Kevin Kolb was fined $5,000 for a horse-collar tackle on Atlanta's William Moore while Moore was returning an interception.
San Francisco safety Dashon Goldson was fined $5,000 for striking Oakland receiver Louis Murphy late.
Minnesota receiver Bernard Berrian was fined $5,000 for a late hit on Dallas DE Jason Hatcher.
Detroit guard Stephen Peterman was fined $7,500 for a late hit on New York Giants safety Antrel Rolle.
San Diego linebacker Antwan Barnes was fined $5,000 for unnecessarily striking St. Louis quarterback Sam Bradford in the chest and neck.
Browns' Cribbs
defends Harrison
Although he was knocked out on a vicious hit by Steelers linebacker James Harrison, Browns wide receiver Joshua Cribbs told his friend not to change the way he plays – despite the NFL's crackdown on helmet hits.
Cribbs returned to practice after getting a concussion when he was struck last week by Harrison, his former teammate at Kent State. Cribbs defended the hit and said Harrison's job is to simply "knock people out."

AVVOLGERE by True Widow (Relapse Records)
It's late September and a hot wind blows through the streets of Los Angeles. Days like today remind me that this city is only a few miles from a large desert that spans thousands of miles of the Pacific Southwest.
Hailing from Dallas, Texas the trio known as True Widow bash out slow and steady rock'n'roll with an atmospheric feel, of long highways and longer nights, of desolation and depression. D.H. Phillips sings forlornly over repetitive and heavily distorted guitar as Tim "Slim" Starks keeps it simple and steady on drums and Nicole Eatill rumbles on bass and adds sweet vocals throughout.
The band mesmerizes on OOTPV as Phillips slowly sings "There's something in the wind" and "I've gotta run away" as Eatill's bass and Starks' cymbal splashes skulk ever closer to a violent end. The Trapper and the Trapped rolls along on chewy guitar play and a meaty snare thump as Phillips and Eatill trade vocals back and forth, a slow dance by the jukebox in a dark corner of a rundown bar. What Finds Me has a country-blues feel to it with a swinging tempo and menacing guitar moves, Phillips and Eastill blending their voices in a beautifully melancholic way.
On AVVOLGERE, True Widow craft faded stories of the down-and-out, for the souls not-quite-lost with an epic feel. "There's something in the wind…"

Products reviewed were purchased by myself.
This is a manicure that I had earlier this week. I thought I would love it but ended up just feeling meh about it.
I started out with two coats of essie's grow stronger, then two coats of an undie, Sephora by OPI's "Let's Do Lunch":
I like this color but don't love it. There is a slight golden shimmer but you can't see it unless you're up close.
I covered it with one thin coat of OPI's Sprung, from the Mariah Carey collection.
In retrospect, I should have either made it a thick one coat or two thin coats, as when I took a picture with flash it was a bit streaky looking.
I wanted an out of focus picture to show the sparkly-ness.
Anyway, this only lasted a full day because like I said, I was just kind of meh about it.

Prof. Audrey Osler, one of the world leading experts in Citizenship and Human Right Education was invited by the Centre for Citizenship and Moral Education to give a short course at BNU on May 14th to 16th. The course focuses on the theme of 'Learning to Live Together in Multicultural Societies', which covers 8 sub-themes, such as social justice, moral education in a global age, narrative and dialogue in education, student identity, teachers' voice and children's rights. The short course was hosted by Dr. Lin Ke, and Prof. Tan Chuanbao. About 40 students from the Faculty of Education, including postgraduates and undergraduates, participated in the course.
Prof. Osler is now working in University of Leeds (UK) and University College of Southeast (Norway). Employing Human Right as her framework and methodology to conduct her researches, she explained that universality and recognition were the two challenges of human right, where all human beings should have the same rights and the 'right to narrate' and 'to be heard', regardless of their gender, age, race and class etc. The method of storytelling and drama-playing was then used to help students understand the 'right to narrate' and to fully participated in the narrative-based class, which has shown a creative approach of teaching.
The students also read the Universal Declaration of Human Rights with the guidance of Prof. Osler, connecting all those Articles with their daily life, so that they could better understand how it was closely related to each person. What was more, Prof. Osler took her family as an example to illustrate how people could live in diversity.
The last section of the short course was specially designed for undergraduates, when Prof. Osler illustrated that children were actually citizens with full human rights, other than 'citizens-in-waiting'. Students were also encouraged to elaborate the ideal school in their mind.
All those detailed instructions and diversified activities enabled students to build up a wider picture of Human Right and Human Right Education, and Prof. Olser highly appreciated the participation of the students.

Black&white for CAS friday (1)
Mmm... I love black and white, so I guess there's a reason for the #1 in the title of this post... if time allows, there will be a few more cards for this week's cas-ualfridays challenge!
I love the way this card turned out! It was designed with the help of freshly made sketches #18. LOTS of inspiration over there!
The image is from floppy latte designs, and it's called "Ribbons and roses" from the hat silhouette series.

Sport Rivalries.
I love the hijinks of rival fans.
This weekend me, my brother, and some of his classmates went to the Kent State vs. Akron basketball game. Not only is Akron our biggest rival, but before this weekend, we both also happened to be tied for first place. Needless to say, it was a big game. I was worried for a bit, but we won 63-57. Woot. Good effing game. Crowd of 6500+. That's over sell-out.
That Akron. They think they are so clever. A bunch of Akron students (read: 180 of them) tried to pose as KSU students. They all came to the game wearing blue Kent shirts and tried to sit in our student section. The ticket people were wise, though, because they knew that KSU students always wear the gold, not the blue. So they made them change seats.
I, however, had never really been to a game and didn't know this. I saw all of these students in blue shirts cheering Kent, and then after the first time-out, I saw that these students were all cheering for Akron. I was, like, wtf, did I imagine them cheering for Kent earlier? No. During the time-out they had switched their shirts inside out, and they now read things like "Can't Read, Can't Write, Can't Beat Us" etc. (Kent/Can't, right? They didn't invent that.) But we did beat them. So there.
KSU vs. Akron
Originally uploaded by swessell.
As a treat, I will share some more rivalries.
Harvard University Says: "We Suck."--A group of Yale students hijack a Harvard game when they display placards that spell out "WE SUCK" instead of the traditional "GO HARVARD."
"Steelers fans roam free inside Browns territory."--The Browns vs. Pittsburgh rivalry is the stuff of legend. A friend asked me if it were acceptable for a Browns fan to root for the Steelers during the Super Bowl, and I told her ABSOLUTELY NOT. If any Browns fan did, move out of the state. Now. All of these Pittsburgh fans are coming out of the woodwork now that they've "won" the Super Bowl, though. This article talks about Pittsburgh fans hanging out in Cleveland bars.
Here's the most relevant excerpt, that cracks me up (Potopski is a Steelers fan):
- Miller, the waitress, came by with a round of drinks for Potopski's table.
"They're from a Browns fan," she said.
"Ah, vodka," said Potopski, raising his glass in a rare display of Browns-Steelers friendship.
He took a sip.
"This isn't vodka, it's water," he said. "Yep, that's a Browns fan for you."
"Browns fan who ran onto field in jail for Super Bowl"--"The fan who ran onto the field at Cleveland Browns Stadium during a Steelers-Browns game was sentenced Tuesday to spend Super Bowl weekend in jail." He should be glad he didn't have to watch the Steelers be handed a Super Bowl win by the referees.

The last time I visited London, I was 17, tearing through the city with my junior college choir mates. Food was very low on my teenage self's agenda, the highlights being M&S's Percy Pig gums and MacD's Maharaja burger (or was it the McRib?). Well, if you had been thousands of miles away from home, hanging out with friends (c'est chic!) all day long with limited adult guidance, you wouldn't have cared about what you ate either.
This time around I vowed to do better on the food front, even making advanced reservations at several restaurants. But tourists being tourists, our first real meal in the city had to be at a fish and chip shop (though a pub selling the dish would probably suffice). A cliché for sure, but one we felt compelled to propagate nonetheless.
We were not too surprised therefore to find ourselves having mixed feelings about our meal at Golden Hind. On the one hand, the fish (a choice of cod, haddock and some random varieties such as skate) was delicious. Freshly fried, grease-free and piping hot, it came enveloped in a batter thin enough to see the firm white flesh underneath. Go for the cod if you are seeking a creamier mouthfeel, and the haddock for a fishier taste. On the other hand, the chips, which had to be ordered separately, were a little cold and dull tasting, while the mushy peas were, well, mushy peas, there just to greenify the table for a peace of mind.
With cousin C's assistance, we managed to polish off two desserts on the short list. The pudding drowning in custard came out as the winner, the custard extremely thick and eggy and fortunately not too sweet. The apple pie though was anemic both in looks and taste with an undercooked crust.
So to conclude, our foray into the Golden Hind was not a slam dunk. But the fish was still pretty commendable, and the fair prices, BYOB policy and convenient location near Oxford Circus make this one good spot for decent, fuss-free fish.

Rosemary and Balsamic Steak
The week after Christmas each year, the girls' daycare is closed for a solid week. Including the actual holidays, this gives us ten days together. Sounds amazing, right? It is, but we also go a little stir crazy and by the mid-point suffer from a bit too much togetherness. I also start suffering from a little too many meals including mac and cheese and chicken nuggets. So, on an unseasonably warm day (about 40 degrees), I decided to break out the charcoal and fire up the grill. Not only were we going to diverge from chicken nuggets for dinner, but I would also get to step out of the house of togetherness for a blissful few minutes. (more…)

University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) is hosting the 12th Annual Critical Geographies Mini-Conference in September 2017
We are very pleased to announce that the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) is hosting the 12th Annual Critical Geographies Mini-Conference (formerly known as the Cascadia Critical Geographies Mini-Conference).
The conference will be held on unceded Lheidli T'enneh (Dakelh) territory and will work towards inclusion of non-academic knowledges. We hope the unique geographies of Northern British Columbia will provide potential topics for scholarly work and excellent opportunities for non-academic knowledges and the arts to be engaged.
The event will take place on Saturday, September 23, 2017, with an evening of pre-events on September 22nd. Please mark your calendars now and start encouraging your grad students to attend. For geographers who haven't ventured "up to" Northern British Columbia, this is your chance! Please note that travel to more northerly geographies can be expensive – early planning is encouraged. Travel to Prince George from Vancouver, for example, is approximately 9 hours by car and 1.5 hours via flights offered by both WestJet and Air Canada. Roundtrip tickets from Vancouver are often about $300 CDN though seat sales regularly bring the prices down.
Consistent with the long-standing goals of this conference, the emphasis is on creating a fun, engaging, and friendly atmosphere that embraces an unsettling of the "traditional" conference structure. We look forward to a wide range of spatially-oriented critical scholarship and encourage creative work on various themes from geography and other disciplines. There is no fee to attend the conference and graduate students are particularly encouraged to attend.
The conference website (including registration, abstract submission page, directions, and accommodation info.) will be "live" in July.
Finally, please share this announcement with interested colleagues, students, and friends.

Product Description
Turn your todger into a sheet-tearingly, lip-bitingly potent G-spot vibrator thanks to this quirky cock ring. Its innovative design targets the internal sweet spots during wear, and may give her more satisfying orgasms and can help his erection strength.
Wear the cock ring on the base of your shaft with the jelly-like nodule on the top side to send the powerful vibrations up your shaft and straight to her G-spot. Not only do the motions of the motor stimulate both of you, but the stretchy material of the ring comfortably restricts blood flow, which may help you achieve larger and longer-lasting erections.
Add some water-based lube and experiment with using the toy as a love ring or finger vibrator to take full advantage of its versatile design.
Please note: If positioned mid-way or high up on the shaft, ensure you cover the cock ring with a condom during play.

The perfect ring
Reviewed: September 6, 2018 by KP849, a Straight Married Male
I've tried a few rings out but this one is one of the best because of the little vibrator on it.
The Mrs really enjoyed me using it.
With it being quite tight on me I could have it in a few different places. Also you can place it on your fingers during fore-play, which is always good.
We have had two because the first one snapped. (Don't know whether it was due to overuse or me being to thick haha).
But we reported it because we enjoyed it and quickly received a new one.
Would definitely recommend.
- Pros
- Everything.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- A great vibrating ring.

I have just been watching the results of the Queensland state election, I do not remember such a landslide. As an outsider looking in the result would seem a bit harsh, I think Anna Bligh has shown strong leadership so I am pleased to see she has retained her seat, but as I say I am an outsider. I am sure the strong message emanating from Queensland will not be lost on Ms Gillard, a sign of things to come.
Today has been an odd kind of day in my household, neither Brian nor myself have been particularly motivated, a waste of a Saturday really. Tomorrow will be a busy one so perhaps a lazy Saturday is not such a bad thing.
It's good to see the AFL season is back although the Crows do not get their first run until next weekend. You have to feel sorry for the GWS team, they were really trounced by Sydney tonight, much like what has happened in Queensland really.
I am having some problems with WordPress at the moment, I just cannot get the "Copy a Post" function to work which is a bit of a drag. If anyone knows how to do this please let me know as I have tried the "Help" function and it is no help.
One last thing for today, The Shaanti Project, if you have not heard of this please check it out, a group of Uni students in WA have a great idea they are trying to launch and they could do with your support, my nephew among them.
