1970s punk rock was all about stickin' it to the man. Conventions were made to be broken, and guitars were made to be played severely. China came late to the punk game, in part because the culture makes enormous respect on usual music, and in perhaps greater part because the government does all it can to take the counter out of counterculture. But punks in China have now at long last begun to cliff, even if they have to tell obvious lies to the government to do it.
American punk band Shore Leave are ocean liner musicians by daylight, and when they're done crooning for sightseers, they don bandanas and forgery epithets to rock out at Chinese venues, often dodging authority censors in the process …
Every Show Is A Battle Between The Musician And The Censors
Every Show Is A Battle Between The Musician And The Censors
China started cracking down additional hard-bitten on concerts in 2013, and it was all Elton John's fault.
div >
Elton John had dedicated a recent concert to Ai Weiwei, a sculptor, inventor, photographer, and strong critic of the Chinese government. Police were brought in, inviting Elton to release a statement saying he was only inspired by Weiwei's prowes , not his government activism. Elton repudiated. So officials responded by calling for brand-new rules for foreign performers, including information that would surely silence different forms of underdogs: No one would be allowed to perform unless they regarded a college grade.
Officially, the restriction was never been put, but unofficially, organizers scrambled to find university certificates for their numbers, and a assortment of new have applied for performance licenses went turned away. And this is just a portion of the infernal regulatory machine in China, where every individual music recital and even every lyric talk at concerts needs to be approved in advance by the Ministry of Culture. If the poetics are approved, the picture goes on. If they are not, either the anthem is plucked from spin or the band is banned from frisking completely.
"No melodics that blame the find gathering, " says The Captain, who does bass and vocals for Shore Leave. "No texts about ghosts/ mysterious stuff." One anti-capitalist rule insists creators refrain from romanticizing the luxury life — so no ballads about monsters on leashes and Crystal-filled hot tubs, please.
The unclear mood of these constitutions tells the governmental forces censor whatever they like for basically any rationale, and a shocking number of those reasons come down to prejudice. "You used to be able to sing pro-LGBT ballads, " says The Captain, "but that's changed, " which hinders Shore Leave from accomplishing this album opener 😛 TAGEND
This is the case despite the fact that China decriminalized homosexuality in 1997 and removed it from government officials inventory of mental disorders in 2001, but perhaps it's not too extraordinary. After all, the country still has forced electroshock conversion rehabilitation.
div >
Many circles dodge fallout by changing their most contentious texts before they submit them for asses. Make Shore Leave's not-at-all-political ode to Parks And Recreation 's alien religion leader, Zorp. "The promoter told us the 'revolution' lyricals in 'Armagedon–AGo-Go' might be problematic, " says The Captain. "So we wrote 'Revolution/ They gonna burn city hall' as 'Evolution/ They're disappeared, Arsenio Hall.'" Hey , none said the brand-new motifs had to making such a sense.
There's A Secret Language That Tells You Badmouth The Government
There's A Secret Language That Tells You Badmouth The Government
When cliques in China reference "Zhongnanhai" in a negative or teasing way, they'll vow they're not referring to the residential combination for China's top leaders, but instead the popular cigarette brand.
Whether they're obscuring their indignation in their poetics or simply airing their grievances to their mail delivery person, the Chinese have implemented a sort of system that allows them to speak freely without attracting scrutiny from the powers that be. Guitarist Lt. Bugs cancels one of their first knowledge with this special expression: "Someone told us about a venue proprietor in Beijing who was 'lost in a game of disguise and seek.'" That, it is about to change, is neighbourhood slang to persons who died abruptly while in police imprisonment.
Other fun illustrations include utterances like "the square of hopelessness." That's not a description of soul-crushingly dull cubicle life, but a thinly mantled invoke to Tiananmen Square, which is a chiefly off-limits topic in the arts.
Sometimes the code isn't code at all. Musicians plainly sing in English, as countless Chinese officers do not speak or understand it. This represents to Shore Leave's advantage. Irrespective of whatever was officially submitted beforehand, they sometimes plainly sing their original words onstage — the odds are no one will be able to tell the difference.
Some Bands Are Perfectly Manufactured
Some Bands Are Perfectly Manufactured
A Chinese recital venue might desegregate bands to establish new acts on the spot, dumping yet another challenge on masters trying to keep it real. Punk bands are subjected to this as much as anybody else is, despite that going against the very nature of everything the genre expressed support for. You may be thinking, "But NSYNC and the Spice Girls were constructed. Were they not the greatest groupings of the history of music? " Yes, they were. But those group members auditioned, got to know one another, rehearsed their workmanship. They became friends and co-workers before they ever placed foot on place. Manufactured bands in China are not afforded that luxury.
div >
Lt. Bugs says these straps are often thrown together by operators at such a last minute that many of them "probably didn't even meet before the show." But it doesn't trouble if the band members can play their instruments with any real chemistry. Hell, it doesn't trouble if they can play their instruments at all. "Sometimes they'll even be playing instruments to backing lines, " says Shore Leave drummer First Mate, "making the vocalist basically play karaoke."
The venue well are not able to be hiring these musicians for their imaginative abilities regardless. Lt. Bugs tells of the time she saw a promoter switch a band's singer and bassist right before a picture. "The bassist was a pretty-looking grey girl, " she says, "and the vocalist was a darker-skinned Hispanic man. They demanded the pretty white girlfriend up front." Shore Leave has even learnt booklets for their own concerts use inventory photo patterns instead of their actual fronts. That's what happens when nothing of the band members are pretty enough for promoters.
By now, you might be wondering how watered-down words and plastic supermodels equal punk. To settle it simply, the awfully ordinance of listening to anything that isn't usual music is an act of provocation in China. The category of punk and the the identity cards of the vocalists often boil down to "This is not Chinese." If it's not Chinese, it's "Western." If it's Western, it's not conventional, and it's therefore incendiary. Even the iconic punk form has received a makeover thanks to this amalgamation of all things Western. Fans will wear denim jeans and clothing with English words emblazoned across them as a roundabout way to demonstrate their passion for the American lifestyle.
The Most Legit Punk Shows Go Underground
The Most Legit Punk Shows Go Underground
If you're still annoyed these concerts resounded fatally not-punk, take comfort in just knowing that some sees dismiss every regulation. Rather than going through the proper representative canals, masters slam shows together and hope to high sky that they don't get caught.
Of course, advertising an illegal concert is super high-risk, so proponents take a unusually DIY approach to rendering buzz. Flyers extended at pictures drum up commotion for the next gig. Super secretive stores provide info. "No names are included on zines, " says Lt. Bugs, "because, again, you have to get gov permission to distribute all kinds of media. So nobody requires their epithet attached to an informal print." The strap shared an example of an underground magazine promoting regional shows.
That's all very cute and 1980 s, but this is 2018, so of course online advertising is a circumstance. For Chinese punk deeds, ads are often idols, because JPEGs are a lot harder than text for censors to read and flag. And because illegal promoters can't advertise via normal channels, acts get quite innovative. Shore Leave formerly got a entire audience together through Tantan, China's Tinder. "We expended a couple weeks before our send acre talking to girl children and people online on the app, " says The Captain. "Told them to match us for a booze at the bar we were playing at." 50 lonely Chinese singles indicated up at the bar that night and were converted to punk fans.
div >
Despite all the measures to avoid government courtesy, illegal shows still find the resentment of censors from time to period. Often it's when a rival venue finds an opportunity to take out some of the rivalry. "That happened to an expat forbid where they didn't file for an presentation permission for the purposes of an open mic humor show, " says Lt. Bugs. "The place went raided. Some bartenders got fired for not having wreak visas. The rail went fined." This positioned the concerns of the existing legislation into them, and the place never hosted a appearance again.
Small Towns Are Hearing Punk( And Seeing Foreigners) For The First Time
Small Towns Are Hearing Punk( And Seeing Foreigners) For The First Time
Like we said, there's a ponderous places great importance on traditional music in China. Rebellious youth have also grown fond of rap and hip-hop, but these categories aren't ever gateways to the wider world. For starters, there are those pesky proscriptions on seditious poetics. And then some of China's most popular rap psalms are so damn patriotic that they go all the way to the other side and become inflammatory toward all outsiders. Make this lovely pearl, which starts out with the mottoes "stupid foreigners" and "fuck your mothers."
div >
You'd think the government would clamp down on that sort of situation, but it's possible that Chinese censors aren't 100 percentage consistent with their standards.
Rock is new to many Chinese audiences, and so are natives. It's not rare for a punk strip to perform for an public that has literally never heard rock music before … or recognized a white person up close and personal. "There's almost a freak display ingredient, in that some people just come to see strangers, regardless of the music, " says The Captain. When beings approach ensemble members after sees, they often don't talk about the music. "They time run through some conversational cues to practice their English."
clause >
Because of this novelty, punk circles often find themselves sandwiched between bigger numbers, such as those aforementioned usual Chinese musicians. This implies any trendy minors looking to stick it to the man are under an obligation to share cavity with chess-playing grandpas who want to hear the bamboo flute music they grew up with. "The promoter, " says The Captain, cancelling one such substantiate, "told us that the age-old humankinds at the bar were complaints about the punk bands: 'The singers can't sing! ' The age breach between the two audiences present was obvious."
But hiding in the sea of petulant age-old men as well as wide-eyed punk rock innocents is a handful of rebellious youth who utterly understand the spot of the category, even if they don't understand the lyricals. "This one girl, " says Lt. Bugs, "who knew a little bit of English, obstructed buying us rounds of Tsingtao and baijiu shots and saying 'revolution revolution' over and over to us." She never quite figured out the group's actual call, so she called them the "revolution band." And actually, there was no reason to correct her.

Translated, it means Menu of the Day. I was told that most restaurants here in Madrid have a Menu del Dia for lunch. Most of the Menu del Dia meals, or at least those that I've eaten, are two course meals with a complimentary dessert or coffee/tea/juice. The meals, ranging from 11€ to 16€, are a bit expensive if converted to Philippine Pesos, but the servings are huge, and all of the meals I've tried were delicious.
On my first Saturday in Madrid, excited as all new arrivals are, we went on a twenty minute train ride to the Madrid city center to check out the sights. At half past 3 in the afternoon, after walking for hours along the Gran Via, lunch beckoned.
We went to Cafeteria La Pecera on the ground floor of Circulo de Bellas Artes. A cafeteria whose vibe is a bit more elegant than usual eateries, with crystal chandeliers and tuxedoed attendants. But the service was warm and we, in our walking jeans and zero Spanish capabilities, did not feel intimidated at all.
The Menu del Dia was also more expensive than usual, 22€ per person. Was the steeper price worth it?
Let me show you what we had:
Free Appetizer: crusty bread and a pork dish which reminded me slightly of Bicol Express.
Drink: Freshly squeezed orange juice. Amazingly sweet. What is it with Spanish orange juices? After my first taste of orange juice in Spain, I have consistently ordered this with my meals, and always, they come out as sweet and fresh-tasting.
First Course: Cold gazpacho soup. I can't say its amazing, because this is my first time to try gazpacho haha but I like the tomato essence, it's a very light soup. A perfect counterpoint to my next course.
Second Course: Beef Steak cooked medium on a bed of roasted potatoes and onions. Steak is my favorite food in the world, and this came out just okay for me. The beef was tasty with only pepper and salt. And while it was not fork tender, that was a pretty generous serving portion.
Dessert: Flan. I chose this for dessert, expecting something as rich as our leche flan, but though it had the same caramelized burnt sugar taste, the flan's texture was lighter, more akin to a panna cotta than our rich, eggy leche flan. I still prefer our own calorie-bursting, sweet and creamy version.
So the food was okay but not crazy great. But I still feel it's worth the 22 EU price, the place has a touch of worn elegance plus we stayed in the restaurant for close to two hours yapping and chatting without the waitresses giving us dagger looks.
I am actually surprised how reasonable prices are here. Sure, it's expensive to eat out everyday and shell out 15€ per meal, but for a good two course meal with generous servings it's reasonable. Especially if I compare it with Korea where a decent meal without drinks is about 14-25 USD, and where a steak meal at a foreign-inspired steakhouse is at least 30 USD, and that's not even a multi-course meal.

Silver alloy has excellent properties such as flexibility and ease of handling, all this can produce complex and elegant jewelry with intricate patterns.

The system does not work for 95% of the population, let me explain to you and give you a viable alternative, hopefully leaders continue it, everyone would be much richer. Invest is the solution. You have possibilities of investing even if you do not have money, they have taught us that we must have money to make money, but not true, first they were goods and services that money, importantly, is able to provide a service or create a good, we buy every day something, whether we have or not money, we must paysearch or who knows that, but in order to be alive someone had to pay for food at least. The arrival of international companies in Colombia this ending with the national economy, maximum now that winter has us hit, the Government announces a collection of taxes out of series and at the same time says that only minimum wage will rise little, incredible. The solution is to become independent, for them, there are several alternatives, but to continue working for the banks and big business be enriched without giving anything in return does not I think it is feasible, we must act so that joining efforts pordamos all Colombians improve warm nustra's life. Robert Kiyosaki speaks clearly of new alternatives, speech that the current system is going to collapse if it is that she is not already collapsing, the dollar, the yen, the euro coins that somehow make our lives, but to enrich those who already can not spend so much, they are all not are really so want much money seeing a world full of misery and hunger, but have a good solution at all.
Little believable, if we are accustomed to that only the rich can make more money, only the rich have learned the importance of investing, if investing. The rich invest, of middle class spend their wages to enrich them and low class struggle to survive, poor 65% 5% 30% rich middle class, and it is not their fault, the system doesn't work. If a poor purchase something, enriches that sells, that to the next and thus until who knows where, banking is one that gives excellent utilities, Government tmbien receives every day more money, but not so many social problems is dealt equitable menera, why. All those who receive the money saved it, treasure it, but not distributed equally, each entity defends their interests, each company is looking for their own benefits, but, and what about that great amount of people who don't have those possibilities? with that 95%? because passing hunger and work, not know how to live and invest. We pay you for purchasing is the solution, you don't need special studies to be able to buy, since children we learn to buy, you don't need anything else to win. Industrialists will earn much more if all buy them their products, like merchants. If you look at the Association of buyers which gives you this opportunity, you'll be soon earning enough to live a peaceful and successful life, I assure you that you won't have to wait 25 or 40 years to have a pension, you'll have it in very little time, 1 year or 2 to the maximum.

On Saturday we drew our way around hilly Walkley, as part of their local festival. Although I led the day, this time all the hard work and research was done by Cath, Krishna and Lizzy, who live locally.
Our first stop was the Primitive Methodist Church: a formidable building, towering over the main road. Everyone lined the pavement opposite, to try and get far enough away to see it properly:
I still found it a bit huge to tackle in full, so I focused on the massive inscription 'Ebenezer', carved into the sooty stone, while various pigeons watched from on high:
Because publicity for the day had appeared in the festival brochure, we got quite a lot of new people, including another couple of younger members, Ruben and Zoe, with their mum. This is them at our second venue:
We split between two gardens on Carr Road and I went for Nancy's garden a bit further down the hill - both owners had kindly given permission for us to invade:
Again, I struggled to find a longer view I was happy with, especially as the sun kept going in and out and changing all the shadows, so I zoomed in on details like these hydrangea heads:
This tree was a real quickie, as I had just begun when I realised we were out of time and almost everyone else had moved on without me! I used compressed charcoal instead of pencil, so it's bolder:
I hurried up the road to the other garden, where everyone was still scribbling away, including John:
I was just about to round people up, ready for lunch, when the garden's owner announced he was going to open one of his bee hives if we wanted to watch.
|Togging up, getting the smoker going (just in case) and opening up the hive
I know I should have been sketching him rather than taking photos (and Cath actually did - bravo!) but there was a lot of movement so I went for the easier option.
|Finding the queen and sliding that section into a glass-sided viewing box
They were preparing the bees to take up to Ruskin Park, as part of the Fun Day celebrations. We followed them up and enjoyed a wonderfully sunny lunch break, sitting on the grass, listening to live music and sipping pear juice.
Then we crossed the road to Blake Street, an outrageously steep hill, even by Sheffield's standards: it's so steep it has a special ridged pavement and an iron handrail for winter!
The view back down over Sheffield was astounding, but I chickened out and drew this small section of it, seen through a bramble bush.
I think my favourite sketch that I did was this one though, the narrow path leading into a tiny nature reserve tucked away behind Blake Street. I got out my latest toy: my masking fluid applicator (you draw with a nozzle so no gunky brushes required - perfect for outdoors).
We walked back up to the park at 3.30, where some people carried on sketching, but I just enjoyed sunning myself, sitting on the grass, chatting and people-watching. We did the usual sketchbook sharing where we were, as it was such a beautiful afternoon, then we sauntered into the Blake Hotel to reward our efforts.
As usual, I will put other people's sketches into the Picture Gallery as they come in. If you want to join us next time, just let me know and I'll put you on my mailing list.

Namibia: striking desert scenery and incredible wildlife
Namibia is one of the most hauntingly beautiful countries on the planet. Its ever shifting apricot colored sand dunes and shipwrecked coastlines define this huge expanse of pristine wilderness. There can be no better way to experience Namibia than by a fly-in safari, affording spectacular aerial views of the oldest desert in the world.
Encounters with unique desert adapted wildlife that survive in the harshest of environments with little or no water are not experienced anywhere else in Africa. Namibia is one of Africa's last great strongholds for black rhino and a visit to Etosha National Park is highly recommended.

Hope you all enjoy, and we'll be back real soon with more updates.
Watch nasty Angell getting spanked by her mistress!

Donald Trump doesn't have a hotel in Puerto Rico, so you might think Trump has had no financial interest in the US territory. If you thought that, you'd be wrong. Long before the hurricane hit Puerto Rico, Donald Trump had screwed people in Puerto Rico, and left US taxpayers holding the bag. You probably knew about the 4 Bankruptcies that were filed by Trump companies.
However those 4 bankruptcies didn't include a golf course in Puerto Rico that Trump agreed to manage. When the Trump International Golf Club in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico, filed for bankruptcy in July 2015 — just a month after Donald Trump launched his presidential campaign — Trump's family did everything they could to distance themselves from the failed project. "This has absolutely nothing to do with Trump. This is a separate owner. We purely manage the golf course," Eric Trump told Bloomberg at the time.
The truth is that Trump didn't own the golf course, he simply took a huge salary to "manage" the golf course. The golf course was owned by Arturo Diaz Jr. and his family. The property featured two 18-hole golf courses and a giant 46,000-square-foot clubhouse. Diaz brought in Trump to turn around the golf course in 2008. The Trump Organization claimed it had a plan "to attract customers and control operating expenses." But over the next five years, club membership hardly increased and never got above 63 paying members.
During the Trump management of the golf course, the course's expenses increased 22%, including Trump's management fees, which were about 4.5% of annual revenues, or more than $600,000 by the end of 2012. Ultimately, with about $78 million in debt and only $9 million in assets, the golf club sold for $2 million.
The people of Puerto Rico do not vote in the Presidential elections. Thus the people in Puerto Rico who've been left hungry and thirsty by Trump have no recourse, even in the 2020 election.
It's been three weeks since hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico. The death toll has risen to 48. 83% of the island remains without power. Food resources are still unreliable. People are drinking animal-tainted water and sharing dwindling improvisational supplies. Veterans are recording videos about hungry citizens.
When the government tells you to prepare for a storm, it cautions that "being prepared means having your own food, water and other supplies to last for at least 72 hours." Even the most vigilant citizens rarely keep more than seven days of supplies on hand. By any calculation, those citizens in Puerto Rico would have started running out of food and water 16 days ago.
The island's health care workers are facing a crisis exacerbated by diesel fuel shortages and low supplies of medicine. Only 16% of the island has electricity. Gov. Ricardo A. Rosselló said the goal is to have 25 percent of the electrical system restored "within the next month."
About 67 percent of cell towers remain down and more than 80 percent of cellphone antennas aren't working.
More than 6000 people are living in 112 shelters. Those with the means to leave have been abandoning their destroyed homes and flying to the United States. Officials say more than 100,000 people could end up in the Orlando area in the coming months,and may never leave.
Only 392 miles of the 5,073 miles of roads are open.
About 37% of people still don't have clean drinking water.
Some residents have received bottled water, but as of last week distribution remained a challenge.
As Trump threatens to cut off aid, the water situation in Puerto Rico is so dire that the EPA reported that residents on the island have reportedly been trying to obtain water from Superfund sites — which are bodies of water contaminated by hazardous waste. The EPA advised against "tampering with sealed and locked wells or drinking from these wells, as it may be dangerous to people's health."
Puerto Ricans are not illegal immigrants. They are not Muslims Trump tried to ban. They aren't NFL players who took a knee during the national anthem. Most don't know how to play golf. Most have never seen a Rolls Royce.
Most have never been on a helicopter, much less owned one.
Most have never even seen the inside of a private jet.
Most Puerto Ricans simply want clean water to drink, and enough food to keep their children from starving. They can't even afford the price of admission to a movie about the life style of the President of the United States.

Introduce yourself, please. (name, location, shop site, blogsite, etc.)
Jennifer (Jen) Hoadley, Findlay, OH
Is Etsy your primary "job"? If not, what else do you do?
I have a part time job outside of Etsy. I work as the Office Manager for my church.
What's your favorite medium to work in and why?
Printmaking on my Gocco! It's just so much fun!!!
If you could have a super power, which would it be? why?
I've used to always say that I'd choose invisibility, because I thought it would be so nice to just have days where no one could see me and I could just roam around unnoticed! But, lately, I'd say super speed, so I could get lots more done in a day!
What have you created that you are most proud of?
The owls I drew for my Etsy shop avatar/banner/logo! I'm actually not that skilled when it comes to drawing, so I was really impressed with how they turned out. And, the fact that others have positively commented on them makes it even better!
What's your fave dinner and why?
Any Mexican food. I just love Mexican food. Always have. I think it has a lot to do with all of the awesome condiments – salsa, sour cream, guacamole…! Mmmmmm!
What kinds of things do you do to get the creative juices flowing?
I have a hard time forcing myself to create, so I just do it in spurts. I keep a drawing pad by my bed and sketch out some ideas there. If I still like them the next morning, I'm good to go!
If you could be an animal, what kind would you be and why?
A cat. I've always loved cats! Or an owl…I think owls are awesome, and they're nocturnal, which would suit me just fine!
How did you get started creating things?
Oh, I've always created in little ways. I've always loved combining things that weren't normally combined. Just for something to do. Or grabbing a pile of something and trying to make a finished product out of it.
In 5 years I'd like to be ...
Crafting and sell my crafts full time!
Tell us one thing that no one on Etsy knows about you.
That's a tough one! I'll go with that I love to sing and am obsessed with anything musical related! If I was a good actress, I would probably be spending my nights doing local theater instead of being on Etsy all the time!
What's one gadget that you can't live without?
My cell phone. Even thought I'm not a huge phone talker or texter, I still always have it with me!
Thanks Jennifer, I enjoyed your answers and exploring your shop! :) Be sure to check out Jennifer's shop for more fun stuff.

First order to cross the Atlantic
Overseas Orders
We recently delivered a large consignment of Picture Mounts Shop to a multi national company based in New York.
We had confirmation through today that they had arrived in one piece and the customer was happy – phew!
Usually our orders come from the UK and Ireland – with the occasional delivery to Europe. The guys in the workshop are now wondering where the next overseas order will come from and whether it will further away than New York.
We try and keep our shipping costs down to a minimum and offer free shipping in Europe and the UK whenever possible – depending on the size of the order.

NBA should profit from Pac-10's best
How's this for an all-Pac-10 team? Kyle Weaver (Washington State), Jon Brockman (Washington), Darren Collison (UCLA) - three of the five returning all-conference players from last season - plus James Harden (Arizona State), fourth in the conference in scoring, and Chase Budinger (Arizona), the Pac-10 freshman of the year last season.
Not bad, but that's our second team. The first team is Kevin Love (UCLA), O.J. Mayo (USC), Jerryd Bayless (Arizona), Brook Lopez (Stanford) and Ryan Anderson (Cal).
Absent from both teams is UCLA's Russell Westbrook, who is projected to be the ninth player taken in the NBA draft by nbadraft.net, probably the most reliable of such sites.
At the moment, nine Pac-10 players are seen as probable first-round draft picks this year, and Harden and Budinger are viewed as top-10 picks next year, when eight more Pac-10 players are projected as first-rounders. No other conference has more than four potential first-round picks in 2008, according to nbadraft.net's current mock draft, and the Atlantic Coast Conference has none.
Do you notice a trend here? Three of our all-conference picks are freshmen, and, for the second year in a row, two freshmen may be first-team all-Americans - Michael Beasley of Kansas State and Love. Considering only two freshmen - Chris Jackson in 1989 and Wayman Tisdale in 1983 - had been named to a majority of the first-team All-American teams before last season, it is obvious how the college game has changed. Kevin Durant was the first freshman to be named national player of the year, and Beasley might make it two in a row, with North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough being his only competition.
When a marketing expert is needed: All-American selections are based on visibility as much as talent, so we present an all-anonymous team that might be better.
1. Stephen Curry, Davidson - Although he's the top scorer on any of this week's top 25 teams, most people don't know his first name is pronounced STEFF-in.
2. Robert Vaden, UAB - He disappeared from the publicity radar when he left Indiana, but if the Blazers make the NCAA Tournament, he'll be the reason.
3. Jason Thompson, Rider - Expected to be a first-round NBA draft pick, Thompson outscored Beasley 24-13 when they met this season, but how many people know where Rider is or what conference it's in?
4. Jamont Gordon, Mississippi State - His team leads its division of the SEC by a wide margin and he is probably the best player in the conference, but the term "high profile" does not exist in secluded Starkville, Miss.
5. Jeremy Pargo, Gonzaga - In a big game, he would be my first choice at point guard - yes, ahead of D.J. Augustin or Bayless or Derrick Rose or Mario Chalmers.
This is not a joke: Raise your hand if you knew there was a third postseason national tournament this season, in addition to the NCAA and the NIT. Put yourself in the Get-a-life category if you also knew it was called the College Basketball Invitational (not to be confused with the Collegiate Basketball Invitational, an all-star game for Division II and III players). With CBI's 16-team field, it means 113 Division I teams will get postseason bids. Tell college football folks that's still fewer than half the teams.
When higher is lower: Talk of seedings in the NCAA Tournament can be confusing. Some people use the term "higher" seed to refer to the status of the seed, meaning a No. 1 seed is higher than a No. 2 seed. But others use "higher" to refer to the number itself, so a No. 2 seed would be higher than a No. 1 seed. We avoid the problem by using the terms "worse" or "better," and there is no doubt a No. 1 seed is better than a No. 2 seed.
TV movie in progress in Des Moines: Drake, picked to finish ninth in the Missouri Valley Conference, won the regular-season title, ranks No. 20 in nation and will get its first NCAA Tournament berth in 37 years, all under Keno Davis, who is in his first season as a head coach at any level and is the son of former Stanford and Drake coach Tom Davis. The MVC player of the year might be Bulldogs senior point guard Adam Emmenecker, who received no Division I scholarship offers out of high school, rode the bench for three years as a walk-on at Drake, finally got a scholarship before this season and then set a school record for assists in a season. Emmenecker was named the nation's Academic All-American of the year with a 3.97 grade-point average in four majors: management, business, finance and entrepreneurial finance.
Quotable: Indication we are too caught up in RPI rankings, strength of schedule and quality of the conference when determining NCAA Tournament berths: "The thing that hurts Wake Forest most is their lack of wins." - an ESPN analyst, while commenting on the Wake Forest-Duke game two weeks ago.

November is National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month, when we learn about the disease and spread awareness so that we may someday find a cure. In honor of the occasion, we have decided to discuss the specifics of the illness, as our own personal way of spreading awareness amongst our loyal readers and fans:
What exactly is Alzheimer's?
Alzheimer's disease is a type of dementia (a general term for memory loss and other intellectual maladies) that causes memory, thinking and behavioral problems. Over time, the symptoms become worse and worse until it interferes with daily tasks. In the earlier stages the memory loss is mild, but as time progresses, people with the disease can no longer carry on a conversation or respond to changes in their environment.
What are some signs and symptoms of the disease?
- Memory loss that disrupts daily activities
- Challenges in planning or solving problems
- Difficulty completing familiar tasks
- Confusion with time or place
- Trouble understanding visual images
- New problems with words (speaking or writing)
- Misplacing things and an inability to retrace one's steps
- Decreased or poor judgment
- Withdrawal from social activities
- Changes in mood and personality
How can doctors diagnose and treat the disease?
Unfortunately, there is no one test that can detect whether or not someone has Alzheimer's. Diagnosing the disease requires a thorough evaluation of a person's medical history, mental status, physical and neurological condition. A doctor may also run tests such as blood tests and brain imaging in order to rule out other illnesses with similar symptoms, and to narrow down the possible cause.
With early detection of the disease, you can get the most out of the treatments that are available today. Though there currently isn't a cure, there are prescription medications available to lessen the symptoms or at least make them more manageable. There are also many treatments and remedies on the horizon that are currently being tested that may perform better than anything on the market today.
How else can I help spread awareness?
Many organizations hold events that are intended to raise both money and awareness for the disease. One such event is the Walk to end Alzheimer's, in which people can donate for the cause and walk for a cure. There are events just like this one all around the country this month, so be sure to find one close to you!

Tehran's provisional Friday prayers leader urged vigilance against possible attempts by some Western countries to employ "baseless pretexts" to renege on the commitments they have undertaken based on a nuclear conclusion reached between Iran and world powers on Tuesday.
Addressing worshippers here in Tehran, Ayatollah Mohammad Ali Movahed Kermani warned against potential pretexts that may be raised by the other side in the nuclear talks to snap back the sanctions against Iran based on false claims that Tehran has not remained committed to its obligations.
"This is a tactic used by some of the six world powers in the (nuclear) negotiations," he said, adding that Iranian diplomats should be careful about such tactics.
He also urged the negotiating team to be completely vigilant in observing the red lines drawn by Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution in implementing the final deal.
Ayatollah Movahed Kermani further hailed the conclusion of the talks as "valuable", saying, "Saudi Arabia and the Zionist regime are angry with this deal, and this is the best proof of how valuable the agreement is."
His remarks came after Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, US, Britain, France, and Germany) concluded more than two weeks of intensive talks over Tehran's peaceful nuclear program in the Austrian capital of Vienna on July 14.
The negotiating parties reached a conclusion over the text of a comprehensive 159-page deal on the nuclear issue after 22 months of talks.

Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism and The Bible
Meaning of birth
We are reborn from a previous life until we reach nirvana (extinction of all desire and release from suffering).
We are reborn from a previous life until we realize our oneness with Brahman. The cycle of death and rebirth is called samsara.
Traditional Judaism
We are created in the image of God and come into the world with the capacity to choose either good or evil.
Contemporary Judaism
Highly diverse, ranging from ultra-Orthodox and traditional (the minority) to the less traditional / secular (the majority).
Biblical worldview
We are created in the image of God but come into the world inclined to sin because of the sin of Adam.
Way of truth
By following the teachings of Buddha, namely, the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path. Buddha's teachings are incorporated in written scriptures such as the Tripitaka ("three baskets").
By spiritual disciplines such as yoga which enable one to achieve enlightenment. Suffering and samsara result from ignorance of truth. The Vedas are the authoritative scriptures.
Traditional Judaism
The Law of Moses, as authoritatively interpreted by the rabbis in the Oral Law. Truth is seen in deed more than in creed, although one cardinal belief is the unity of God. Non-Jews need only observe the "Seven Noachide Laws."
Contemporary Judaism
Beliefs about life and truth often reflect the contemporary postmodern stance, while lifestyle and identity often are based around Jewish traditions variously reinterpreted in the modern context.
Biblical worldview
Through Jesus (Yeshua), who provides atonement for sin and who declared himself to be "the way, the truth, and the life." The Bible (Old and New Testaments) is divinely revealed and the final authority.
Spiritual life
Theravada Buddhists, practice disciplines which lead to nirvana. Deliverance is only for the few who can attain it, namely, the monks.
Mahayana Buddhists, seek personal deliverance and assist in others' salvation. The ideal Buddhist is a bodhisattva, one who forsakes his own deliverance to aid others. Deliverance or salvation is open to all, laity as well as monks.
This consists in the practice of spiritual disciplines such as yoga which deliver one from the cycle of death and rebirth by helping one to realize his or her oneness with Brahman.
Many incarnations and deities may be worshipped.
Traditional Judaism
Obeying the commandments (mitzvot) given by a personal God, as well as in studying the Torah and other holy books, resulting in blessing in this life. Both ritual requirements and ethical values inform daily life.
Contemporary Judaism
Some Jews have chosen to practice Buddhism; they are often known as JUBUs. Others have explored Hinduism. Eastern thinking has in part informed the movement known as Jewish Renewal, closely connected with the name of Zalman Schachter-Shalomi.
Biblical worldview
Placing faith in Yeshua as the atonement for our sin and God's promised Messiah for our salvation. Continued spiritual growth through living a life of service and love, and through prayer, Bible study and worship.
The cycle of death and rebirth continues until nirvana is reached. Until then, reincarnation may take place in a variety of worlds, including various heavens and hells.
After this life, rebirth continues until deliverance is achieved. Then one merges into Brahman, the All.
Traditional Judaism
Ideas of the afterlife are not emphasized as much as how one should live in this life. Nevertheless, Torah obedience leads to life in the olam ha-ba, the "world to come," which includes the hope of bodily resurrection.
Contemporary Judaism
Rather than holding to the idea of an actual afterlife, it is common for many Jews to believe that one lives on in one's achievements, one's descendants, or that "no one knows, we'll find out when we get there." This again reflects the wider views of contemporary society.
Biblical worldview
At some point after death, bodily resurrection ensues, followed by God's judgment. Heaven and hell are eternal destinies to which all people go based on their relationship to God and Yeshua.

My Reviews
Sensei Sushi Bar
To begin. No, this not a sushi restaurant.
Neighborhood restaurants are finally making their way onto a scene that was heavily dominated by mall locations. This year alone there has been an exponential increase of establishments that have opened in locations that were thought to be more trouble than it's worth. This shows that the Filipino consumer is becoming more adventurous and is looking for other options from the all in one retail complexes that are still being developed rampantly all over the country. For example BF Homes has unexpectedly become a harbour for good small restaurants that no one ever hears about, unless you are from the area. Sensei is on the busy Aguirre street tucked between a massage parlour and another non-descript business, it is unassumingly bare and doesn't really invite you to step inside. The people who come here don't just bump into the place by accident, they seek it out fervidly. They know that inside the kitchen is Chef Bruce Ricketts who takes a playful approach to the rigidity of Japanese cooking. The best table in the house is on the bar stools watching him work. Bring your own booze (no corkage) and ask him what's fresh or what he is more excited for the night, could be that he just received some fresh uni or a tub of lardo he's been wanting to experiment with; or have a look at the chalkboard menu and choose some comforting Japanese twists like a Seared Rib Eye with Ponzu Sauce, or a Spicy Ramen with Hand Pulled Noodles or even Short rib tacos with tangy pickles. However if you want the real excitement and are out to taste the soul of a Chef (intense) ask for an Omakase style dinner and just enjoy the ride with an open mind.
This is a Chef driven restaurant, when you eat here, you become part of his story and adopt his interpretation of food. Nothing will be familiar when you walk into these doors, but you will come out with a better understanding of how creativity can be applied in the kitchen.

Juju Eats
Big Salads + big wraps + fresh pressed juice combinations = my new favorite lunch spot.
Fine I'll make it a little longer.
But anyone who goes on and on about this place, talking about flavours and emotions, is missing the plot completely.
The ingredients are fresh, varied, crunchy and well cut.
The dressings are well mixed.
The salads are served in steel mixing bowls so that all the ingredients are properly coated.
The wraps are nice and tight.
The juices fresh.
That's all you need to know.
Everything tastes like its supposed to.

Brasserie Cicou
Chef Cyrille Soenen or "Cicou", as his close friends call him, has probably one of the best pedigrees in the Philippines. He has worked in a long list of Michelin Stars restaurants in France, on high class Cruise Ships and when he decided to take his chances in the Philippines he was the driving force behind the Prince Albert, followed by many other hotel kitchens thereafter. When the word started spreading that he would be opening a Brasserie around the Greenhills area, everyone got very excited knowing the brand of food Cicou has garnered a reputation from, especially with the wonders he's been doing at Impressions.
Oeuf Cocotte: Eggs are a very humble ingredient, they are terribly easy to cook, quite difficult to perfect and when done wrong, they are inedible. This dish is a traditional French technique where 2 eggs are usually baked in the oven in a ramekin on top of a variety of ingredients. Here at Brasserie Cicou you will be confronted with 5 different variants, from the vegetarian Tomato, Asparagus, Basil to the delicious Chicken Gizzard Confit, each of which is usually accompanied by a light foam. There is nothing more satisfying than watching a perfectly cooked egg white hug a deliciously concocted melange of well-seasoned ingredients and fold in with a runny yolk. The crunchy baguette becomes the extension of your anticipation, you dip, ladle and consume. It is a moment of pure unaltered bliss, where everything seems right.
Kouing Aman: It's really difficult to try and describe something so visually intriguing and that just holds so many textural achievements. This cake literally means "butter cake" and comes from the West Point of France, Brittany, known for its Cider production and high consumption of Crepes. Why would we put Kouing Aman on our list? Simply because in France it is extremely rare to find a properly cooked one and if you've ever attempted to make one at home, more times than not, it was probably a disaster. It is a sticky dough that needs to be worked properly, than folded with the best quality of salted butter one can find and fine sugar. Then begins the interminable dance of folding, layering, sprinkling and folding; it is a time sensitive process and can only be carried out by experienced hands. The result is a golden disk of pure sensational love, a security blanket of comforting butter melted down, almost brown with caramelized sugar and wonderful bursts of salt to counter balance the sweetness. It is the best dessert in the world and it is amazing the Chef Cicou (you'll feel like family after eating here) brings this authentic gateau to the Philippines, when even most Parisians don't know of it. Count yourselves lucky Manilenos.

Wild Flour Restaurant
This is probably one of the first restaurants that really built its reputation through word of mouth alone. At one point, all people could talk about (social media included) was this new bakeshop come café in the Fort Area. The buzz was so strong that expectations were built up too fast, seats filled up and all of a sudden the raving reviews became somewhat discrepant. The golden rule with new restaurants is to be completely open minded, just like any business, there is a painful birthing period when lessons are learned and a rhythm needs to be curated. After a few months of operation, Wildflour has found its groove.
Don't anticipate a revolutionary menu with high end ingredients, no, the food here is presented in all honesty. The kitchen makes sure that each dish is exactly what it is meant to be, not overly complicated, where flavour is king and even humble ingredients can shine. Talking about humility, take one of the most common elements in any restaurant, bread, usually rarely baked In house locally, here they execute it perfectly, and that first bite of a crunchy baguette, hot enough to make your butter melt into every nook, is a good starting point to any meal. Progress to probably one of the best breakfast menus in the country, some terrifically layered sandwiches or main dishes that seem market driven, served with unassuming sides and light sauces. The Philippines was lacking good bistros or cafes that elevate comfort food and bring to the plate streamlined and clean flavours from dishes that have no particular thematic provenance, just good food, a balanced menu, all served in an ambient and well thought out décor.

The owners of the restaurant claim that what is served here is Japanese Fusion. So naturally you would enter this restaurant expecting to have some sort of melting pot dishes between two or more culinary influences. Something along the lines of an uni risotto (not bad), with greek yogurt (a little weird) topped with adobo pork belly crusted in caramelized pecans (ok, too far, rewind). Surprisingly, from the door frame you can see straight into the kitchen, and behind the glass barriers stands the very stoic looking Masamoto Ishikawa. A man dressed in traditional Japanese chef's attire, too busy honing and executing his craft to make pleasantries. To call the food here Fusion is completely off putting, Mangetsu doesn't serve dishes with blurred borders but more so Japanese food reinterpreted with a playful touch. Where Tsukiji would be the out for business, serious and traditionalist Tokyo business man, Mangetsu embodies the flip switch of the obedient culture we've all come to love, still deeply rooted in its original roots but left to wander and explore its cuisines plafond. Sit yourself in this well decorated space and order all dishes you don't really understand, don't come here for the Hamachi sashimi or their simple sushi rolls (even though they are very good) because that is not what they are proud of. As stated in all their press releases and in their name, they want to be known for Japanese food done differently, with a twist of magic and a creative use of worldly techniques; something like their Thin Sliced Pork Tempura or their Simmered Hokkaido Squid with Liver. Dance to their own beat, let's just please not call it Fusion.

Ramen Yushoken
Its becoming increasingly difficult to decipher which ramen restaurant is best, I'll really have to organise a horizontal tasting, jumping from restaurant to restaurant, all in one day, to finally come up with a champion. The problem is, ramen is so subjective. Unlike cheesecake, where one will always be better than the other, ramen has certain intricacies that are deeply rooted in the way you like to eat and understand flavour. The only way to truly determine which is best, is to select the most authentic place, however this in itself is quite tricky; as we know have specialties from different regions of Japan. I'll try and eat my way through all of them eventually to give you a comprehensive guide I'll either publish in Esquire or on TheFatKidInside.com.
For now, let's start with Yushoken. Its a stoic place, true to its nature, wafting scents of pleasure disarm you at the entrance, as you wait in trepidation to know if you have come at the right hour to be able to get a seat. If not, you wait, and it isn't terribly long. Sit at the bar, face gazing into the chefs at the stoves. Order whatever you like, it is truly all very good here, both the shoyu and the shio are great, exactly what you would expect tucked in a street corner in the Shabuya district, but remember you are in the south, a place where shorts are allowed in restaurants, an awesome refuge from the haughtiness of those Makatilenos (totally making up my own vocabulary); all that to say that I still prefer the tan tan men in Ukkokei and that maybe their karaage would of been crispier here if their frying oil was hotter. However, if you are after the thick oomph that only a good shoyu can deliver then Yushoken should be at the top of your list. I really enjoy watching the kitchen here because you can see the care they put in their broth, and what's ramen without a long simmering broth, just noodles really. But wait, their noodles here, all home made with very expensive looking equipment, deserve a trophy as well. Ramen is all about perfect individual elements coming together in a simple bowl. They've understood this here.
This should defintely be a star in your own personal horizontal tastings.

Roaming the humid streets of Thailand you can feel that you are never very far from a tasty treat. It seems that the Som Tam made by the joyful podgy old lady on her Soi corner, armed with her stainless steel cart and a glass window display of the handful of ingredients that she will be using, can rightfully have its place amongst other traditional dishes in any good brick and mortar restaurant. In this respect it always baffles me why just 3 hours, in Manila, our quality of Thai Food fluctuates greatly. From the very good just not thoroughly authentic Peoples Palace (nothing wrong with that, there is room for adaptive thai food), to the overly sweet Soms, to the homey Dek A, to the many small thai place in and around bf or ortigas, and finally to those thai places in greenbelt that no one ever took care to notice, it is tough to name a clear winner in this category. If you are looking for good thai flavours PPs and Benjaroong are very good, but one slightly differs from tradition (which again isn't a bad thing) and the other leaves you wanting for better ambiance.
Enter, Celadon.
At first I was turned off by the massive picture laden menu, usually that sheer amount of choice, must be a mistake, because an increases amount of choice, forces an uncontrollable stock onto the kitchen and things usually become unavailable or not as fresh as they should be. Something happened though as I was becoming increasingly confused, i started seeing dishes that I was only used to deciphering in bad English on menus in Bangkok. Chicken and mangosteen, soft shell crab on different vegetable preparations, etc. The portions are small sharing sized, the flavours well balanced, the dishes slightly contemporary and the ingredients are all distinctively fresh.
It's a pretty new restaurant so I just hope their expansive menu doesn't become their downfall. Hopefully my premature 4 stars stays that way.
Go try it out.
Your resident fat kid.

Tsumura Sushi Bar & Restaurant
I like This hidden from view 2nd floor restaurant for 2 reasons. The first is that it's authentic without being presumptuous. The problem with a lot of 'we cater only to Japanese people, so we must be good, restaurants' is that they present a menu with either just Japanese characters or the roman letter pronunciation, with dish explanations limited to the staples. In turn, you are forced to really stick to what you know unless you goggle every item. Tsumura strives to explain every dish on their extensive menu. This helps you understand and try dishes from the wide variety of Japanese cooking, giving you the confidence of knowing what Japanese words actually mean (very useful with the elitist restaurants or in Japan), while broadening your culinary palette. Second aspect of the restaurant I enjoy is the service. It's fast, efficient, never over bearing, discreet and knowledgeable. You can't really ask for more.

Recently, fresh from a trip to Tokyo, I finally understood the Japanese culture. It is one of pure and perfect balance: grand sky scrapers but upon entering a home no shoes are allowed, modern hotels and ryokan cohabit side by side, big meals served in small portions in a timely kaiseki manner, not a very warm and talkative population but an unmatched will to be helpful and accommodating, and finally probably the most delicate and fattiest meat I've ever eaten in restrained slices. Unlike other countries in the world where you'll find many free for all dump every dish you can into one menu, restaurants, the Japanese like to be specific. They will have many different types of restaurants that will only serve certain styles of cooking. Urameshi-Ya is a yakiniku, where clients are made to grill their own meats and seafood, accompanied by some salads, rice and soup bowls. Everything is laid out in front of you in its wholesome forms; you can admire the intricate marbling on your meat sets (go Wagyu) , smell the crisp freshness of your vegetables or just get lost in the hue of the burning coal under the little grills. The style calls for an utmost respect of ingredients, as not much is done to modify their taste or cooked outcome. You are served great produce and are instructed to just grill; probably the most important suggestion of all, a statement to the belief they have on minimal alteration from animal to mouth. The space is straight out of one the side streets of Shinjuku with walls littered by patron signed bottles of sake and a book library that ranges from hentai to Heian fiction; prefect for groups who want to run away from Manila even for a few hours.

Caruso Ristorante Italiano
The first time I walked into Caruso the front of the house bar caught my attention immediately and before the waiters were able to approach me and offer me a table, I was already seated by it. It's quite rare to find a well-stocked and inviting restaurant bar nowadays, and this automatically reminded me of the countless times I'd visit my friend in Milan and we would indulge on the amazing apperitivo offerings that the whole city seems to participate in at around 6pm onwards. Chance has made it that the co-owner Dario Gardini is also from Milan and like most authentic restaurants outside of Italy, he learned everything he knows from his Mama. I must of gotten there at the right time because it was close to empty and only one table had patrons on it, all Italian, all loud and all looking like they belonged to the mob. Vinnie was there biting into a wood oven pizza margherita made with the most delicate mozzarella flown in from Italy, Marcello was double handling a Lamb shank piemonte style with reduced red wine sauce, Vitto seemed to be thoroughly enjoying his Home made ravioloni with spinach ricotta cheese butter and sage and the odd female of the group, probably Alessandra, was quietly relishing her Bucatini Alla Amatriciana. I chose my table and continued in my Soprano's fantasies before getting kicked back into reality by delicious food and spot on faithful flavours.

The Deësis and the Annunciation
13th century
Church of St. Elias, Draguć, Croatia
In the apse Christ sits enthroned on the traditional pillow flanked by Mary and John the Baptist. John gesture in supplication, as usual in such images, but Mary has some sort of cloth over her proffered hands.
The apse is framed by an Annunciation with the angel Gabriel on the left and the Virgin Mary on the right. The details of the two frames appear to derive from the Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew, chapter 9, picturing the moment when Mary has stepped outside the Temple to get water from a fountain and the angel comes to say, "Blessed art thou, Mary." To represent this moment, the fresco has Gabriel's hand raised in benediction and puts Mary in an outdoor setting with what seems to be a tall pitcher in her left hand. The actual moment of Incarnation, which in medieval Annunciations is expressed as a dove arriving on a ray of light, is not pictured, nor does the angel carry a sceptre: In Pseudo-Matthew the Incarnation itself occurs inside the Temple on the day after the incident at the fountain.
ISEI, the local name for St. Elias, is over the entrance to the church. In Croatian the saint is Sv. Elizeja.
