John Gosslee
The elbows hang
below the knees
knuckles dust the carpet
the spine unravels
a long OH
from the clinched stomach
the lips curve
I sound like an ape
the acting coach says
everything but the intellect
is the body
the distance between the actors
on stage is a formula for longing
she takes his hand
coughs as if he is wearing cologne
she's allergic to
the status decision of pretending to be the guy
who wears glasses, but forgets them
on the day of the bank heist and squints
builds the character from inside
I strain during the cold read
of the scene
find the funniest part of her face
that you've loved for years
status: he loves her and the child
worries about being caught for embezzlement
and overeats for years
to play the fat man
think of the heaviest part of your body
drag it around the room
the talk about being on television
is talk
the casting director's camera
is at eye level
she takes note in the small book
find the saddest part of her face,
because you'll see a lot of it
in the coming months
and then you'll say goodbye forever

Ex Machina
* * * 1/2
Dir. Alex Garland, 2015
Ex Machina is an exceptionally crafted sci-fi thriller. The trailer gives much of it away, as they tend to do, though if you're remotely familiar with sci-fi you probably know where things are going. Still the film manages to draw tension, and occasionally shock, despite being mostly 3 characters talking. In the film, Domhnall Gleeson plays Caleb, a low-level coder at a Google-like tech company who is "wins" a company lottery to spend a week with the company's eccentric founder (Oscaar Isaac) in his remote cabin. It turns out Caleb has been called in to do a Turing test on a new AI robot named Ava (Alicia Vikander, who is a perfect combination of creepy, alluring, and innocent). Of course, things aren't what they seem, and there are many twists and turns throughout the way. The film nearly suffers from twist-itis, Garland's screenplays have had problems with their 3rd acts before ( Sunshine has one of the worst 3rd acts in film history), but the film has just the right amount of quirk to pull it off. It also feels like the writers are aware enough of the expectations, though at times it feels smart enough to be aware of the fact that it's not as smart as it thinks it is, of sci-fi tropes.
Gleeson has played a robot that was a form of an AI before in the "Be Right Back" episode of Charlie Booker's Black Mirror. And Ex Machina feels very much like a Black Mirror episode. Beyond the superficial fact that they are both British and rather technophobic (both Booker and Garland see technology not enhancing humanity so much as magnifying our worst attributes and insecurities) they seem to have similar plot machinations: we don't know anything about our characters, it takes place in an isolated location somewhere in the near future, it involves surveillance, has a suspicious view of conglomerations, and has a very interesting use of pop music. The ending also feels very Booker-esque (and if you've seen any episode of Black Mirror you know that means it's not going to be feel-good;not quite poetic justice, but ironic in a tragic sort of way).
The film did make me uncomfortable in a way that I'm not sure was intended or not. The film involves a lot of looking at women's bodies (sure they're robots, but the film goes out of its way to say that the robots have sexuality, and, of course, they're also played by actresses). For example, there is a scene in which Ava examines her new body that somewhat recalls a similar scene in Under the Skin. But in Ex Machina, a man is watching her do it and the scene is focused through his looking. Added to this is some exoticized sexuality on behalf of Nathan's Japanese maid (though there is a twist that does kind of explain this).
Ex Machina is playing in theaters at the same time as another movie about an AI and that is Avengers: Age of Ultron. Aside from both being sci-fi films these are as different kinds of films as you can get: one is small and thoughtful, the other loud and gigantic. But in both cases, AI takes on a very human form, and has very human psychology. In both cases the AI's are seen as dangerous. Specifically, in both films the rise of an AI is tied specifically to atomic fears. In Ultron, the fear is that the robot will gain access to nuclear launch codes. In Ex Machina Caleb listens to OMD's "Enola Gay" and compares Nathan (unfavorably) to J. Robert Oppenheimer. What's interesting is that this nuclear age anxiety has seeped into the information age thinking about AIs, not just in these films but also in Battlestar Galactica and the Terminator series.
BSG is relevant here because as I mentioned earlier, the AI's in these works all operate by very Freudian psychology. Nathan recalls the Promethean myth, but he these films also borrow much from Oedipus. The question bordering on frustration I have is why are AI's always presented this way? In Ultron, Tony Stark comments in passing (and everything feels in passing in that movie since there is so much going on) that it's interesting that Ultron took on humanoid form because the human body is evolutionarily flawed. Now, part of this has been that we need actors for movies, and it's hard to get them into other shapes without a lot of money. But CGI seems to have eliminated that problem. Nathan presumes that the human form is important because without a sex drive, a robot wouldn't have any need for external relationships, which seems like a rather awful view about humanity. Yet, Ava seems to desire to become more human. My question to a movie AI is why would you want to be human? The AI that desires, to a fault, to be like its maker may reflect on our own anxieties about our own creation and purpose, but it's starting to get tired and boring; especially when it's explained with bullet points picked up from a psych 101 lecture. I guess what I'm asking for is fewer C-3Pos and more R2D2s.
There's a theory that for me makes perfect sense about alien life: that the reason that we don't see any of it is that it's so radically different from our concept of life that we can't comprehend it when/ if we encounter it. AI's, a form of alien life (a relationship demonstrated by the final scene of Spielberg's AI) could be similar as they evolve. They may not care to interact with us at all, or decide to mimic insects life instead of human life.
Ex Machina is a thrilling film, an example of what good sci-fi is capable of. At the same time, its familiar elements suggest that sci-fi still follows a rather narrow view of robots and AIs. What's at stake is that in the past century, sci-fi has inspired our technology: ipads, cell phones, satellites. Perhaps if we want a better class of AI or robots in the future, one that isn't trying to kill us because of deep seeded parental issues, we need to have a more diverse set of fictionally, imagined robots to draw from.
In the film, Ava draws a number of fascinating sketches about her world. Who knows, in 20 years we might have a robot cinema. Movies about robots by robots.

I had the pleasure of seeing the choir from my hometown church perform yesterday in Florence. It is hard to put into words how soothing and content I felt when I heard them sing. I have always been drawn to how beautiful the music is at my church in Atlanta, so having them play in my adopted city was extra special.
They are on a week long tour, performing in Florence, St. Francis Cathedral in Assisi, then the grandest of them all will be at St. Peter's in Rome this weekend. I have decided to tag along to as many performances as I can this week, because I know each performance will be completely different.
The little reminders of home are always cherished, it is so sweet to hear the sounds of God in my new front door.

WASHINGTON — The Treasury Department announced on Monday that it had finished selling the $225 billion in mortgage-backed securities it bought to help stabilize the markets during the worst of the financial crisis.
The government ended up making a $25 billion profit on the securities, which are guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-owned mortgage finance companies. The profit came from interest payments, principal and rising prices for the securities, the department said.
"The successful sale of these securities marks another important milestone in the wind-down of the government's emergency financial crisis response efforts," Mary Miller, assistant secretary for financial markets, said in a statement. "This program helped support the housing market during a critical moment for our nation's economy and delivered a substantial profit for taxpayers."
Treasury bought $225 billion in mortgage-backed securities in 2008 and 2009 as part of a wide-ranging effort to stabilize the housing and financial markets, an effort started by the Bush administration and continued and amplified under President Obama.
In March 2011, the Treasury Department announced that it would start to sell off what remained of its portfolio. To avoid disturbing the still-fragile housing finance market, it limited sales to $10 billion a month, and said it would discontinue the sell-off if any market disturbances occurred.
Thus far, Treasury's sale of its mortgage-backed securities portfolio has provided a lucrative return to the taxpayer. But it is only one piece of a broad and expensive effort to prevent the collapse of the financial system and housing market.Continue reading the main story
The government also put Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac under federal conservatorship in 2008, and the taxpayer has spent about $150 billion bailing out the two government-sponsored enterprises.
Estimates vary, but the Federal Housing Finance Agency projects the ultimate cost to the taxpayer for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could be $121 billion to $193 billion, depending on the strength of the housing market and other variables.
Treasury also spent about $414 billion to buy bad assets and restore confidence in American financial institutions via the Troubled Asset Relief Program, also known as TARP. That program, though much hated by the public, has received significant revenue from its sale of stakes in participating institutions and from interest payments. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office expects it to ultimately cost taxpayers about $34 billion.
The Federal Reserve also initiated significant purchases to prop up the financial markets in the wake of the crisis. According to its most recent release, the Federal Reserve still has about $850 billion in mortgage debt on its books, along with about $1.7 trillion in Treasury debt. The Federal Reserve delivered $78.4 billion of earnings on its portfolio to the Treasury in 2010, and $76.9 billion in 2011.
In recent months, investors have tentatively returned to buying mortgage-backed debt. The housing market seems to be strengthening as well. In a monthly report released on Monday, Fannie Mae economists cited a stronger labor market and other improving indicators as hopeful signs that 2012 might be the start of a housing turnaround.
But, it noted, "while mortgage rates have hovered near their record lows, purchase mortgage applications have remained at depressed levels," indicating that there remained significant weakness.Continue reading the main story

Science And The Origin Of Life
The debate over the topic of origins has been going on for centuries. When it comes to who we are and where we have come from, people have strong opinions.
But opinions without facts are useless from a scientific viewpoint. Furthermore, there is a serious problem when we attempt to apply scientific principles to events that occurred in the unobservable past. No one was there to make first hand observation. How, therefore, can we ever know the truth about origins?
Such is the nature of the creation-evolution debate. Evolutionists insist their view is purely scientific and that those who oppose this naturalistic mechanistic explanation are religious fundamentalists who "just believe" no matter what facts are presented. Those who believe in creation can sometimes be equally as opinionated and even sarcastic, sometimes uttering some very uncomplimentary comments.
We should always remember, when it comes to discussing origins, there are limitations. Although both evolutionists and creationists claim they can prove their views, substantiating what has occurred in the unobservable past is not in the realm of science.
Design by Chance?
Intelligent design is a term that is common these days, especially among those who are involved in the creation-evolution debate. Creationists claim design we see in living creatures is the product of an Intelligent Designer. Evolutionists say design does not require a designer and is merely the product of chance.Perhaps it is time that you spend a few moments thinking about the complexity of life. How could non-living matter be assembled and organized to become living creatures by chance? Is life the product of natural processes or is there an Intelligent Designer?
Before Darwin's theory of evolution was popularized, William Paley proposed the "watch requires a watchmaker" argument in support of the creation view. However, Darwinists have always claimed that Paley's idea lacked "scientific credibility". For example, the following statement by Richard Dawkins from his book The Blind Watchmaker makes this point:
Paley's argument is made with passionate sincerity and is informed by the best biological scholarship of the day, but it is wrong, gloriously and utterly wrong. The analogy between telescope and eye, between watch and living organism, is false. All appearances to the contrary, the only watchmaker in nature is the blind forces of physics, albeit deployed in a very special way. A true watchmaker has foresight: he designs his cogs and springs, and plans their interconnections, with a future purpose in his mind's eye. Natural selection, the blind unconscious process which Darwin discovered, and which we now know is the explanation for the existence and apparently purposeful form of all life, has no purpose in mind. [1]
It should be noted that Richard Dawkins is Britain's most outspoken promoter of Darwinian evolution. He heads up the Department of Public Understanding of Science based in Oxford, England. It is his goal to educate the British people to the idea that evolution is science and creation is religion.
John Reader, another promoter of evolution, in the conclusion of his book The Rise of Life: The First 3.5 Billion Years, recognizes each one of us has a choice whether or not we believe in a Designer. He, however, wholeheartedly rejects the creation view. As he stated:
The simplest explanation attributes life on Earth to the work of some supernatural force which has ordered that things be so. This explanation has the unquestioned merit of encompassing everything; there is nothing that the invocation of a supernatural force cannot explain. No question remains if God was behind it all – belief in the omnipotent God is all that is required. [2]
So there it is. As Reader says, while believing in God is simple, it is simply wrong. But what if he is wrong? What if there is a God who created?
I like what the apostle Paul stated in Romans chapter one – the evidence that God has created is so obvious from the things that He has made, we are without excuse if we reject that evidence. Professing to wise, we become fools. From a biblical perspective, it is the evolutionist who is the foolish one for not seeing that design requires a Designer.
When it comes to determining the truth about origins, let's stick with the facts. The conclusion you come to regarding why you exist is very important.

Title: Electric Candle
Author: Elizabeth Noble
Publisher: Dreamspinner Press
My Rating: 4 of 5 stars
From the Publisher:
When a vampire finds his soul mate, the bond is forever. It's love at first sight. Or is it?
Flint, Ohio Homicide Detective Jonas Forge has been a vampire for nearly two hundred years. He's fought wars, seen life go from the simple but hard colonial days to the modern high tech world. He's evolved with the times, adapting with each new era, blending into each new life. The one constant is his best friend and lover, Declan.
Until Forge's soul mate tumbles, literally, into his life.
Even though they're not fated to be together forever, Forge and Declan are perfectly happy. Despite the pheromone attracting him to his soul mate, Forge isn't thrilled with the guy, and the feeling seems mutual. While trying to adjust to his clumsy soul mate and equally awkward feelings, Forge is on the hunt for the serial killer who's leaving a trail of bodies, and who witnesses can't identify. But Forge better watch out. When his work collides with his love life, things really heat up.
My View
Anyone who knows me well knows I am a little anal when it comes to reading a book series.
You have to read them in order
You have to read them ALL within a few days of each other
I sob when I have to wait for a WIP to finish the series
After saying all that I read Electric Candle which is obviously Book 2 The Sleepless City Series without having read Book 1 and lived to tell the tale! In my opinion it made perfect sense but knowing the characters as I do now I will certainly be reading Ben and Simon's story.
The setting for this series is in Ohio where Vampires and other 'different beings' live for the most part harmoniously alongside their human counterparts. A few humans know of their existence but most are happily oblivious.
Jonas Forge, vampire and nearly two hundred years old is a police officer and has seen most of what humanity has to offer in his long and not always happy life. His best friend Lucas is a werewolf and also the coroner for the small town and they are currently investigating a spurt of murders that all seem to point to the same person being the culprit.
As if dead people are not enough to ruin his week his personal life is about to get a whole lot more complicated. All vampires are known to have a soul mate, some are lucky to find them and some not. Jonas has never given much thought to his as he has had Declan, a long time lover on and off for over a century.
Just as he starts questioning himself as to what his constant arousal means he quite literally runs into Blair who is dressed as some sort of superhero and to his horror realises the man is his soul mate. There is no insta love between the two in fact there isn't really insta like. It was refreshing to read for once that although the fates may have decided that one person is for you it's not going to be that easy in the real world.
Blair is a disaster. A five year old vampire who has no knowledge of other vampires at all and is running around in a cape and goggles hissing at people and trying not be burnt alive by the sun. He is also incredibly sweet and magnanimous in what he later offers Jonas. After first being turned and then abandoned he has no idea of vampire etiquette.
There are a multitude of characters in this book that each bring something unique to the story including a ghost with a dry sense of humour. As the murder total mounts Blair finds his life in danger and Jonas finds himself falling apart.
Could a soul bond that both irritated him and fascinated Jonas but also provided some very hot sex and have become more?

What is spirometry | Diseases and conditions: Medical tests.
SpirometrySpirometry is a test that allows to know the State of the lungs of a person by measuring the air that is able to inspire and exhaling.
There are two types of basic spirometry:
Simple spirometry: consists in that the person slowly first breathe normally. Then you need to catch and release all the air that can. The volume of air that enters and leaves the lungs, and the maximum that could enter and exit is thus measured.
Forced spirometry: consists in that the person will pick all of the air that you can and then release suddenly until it can not expel more. It is most useful for the study of broncopatias. Flow, i.e., the amount of air per second which can expel a person is thus measured.
Spirometry will not say directly what is the lung problem that we face, but yes it tells us if the lung function is altered with an obstructive pattern (the air cannot leave easily) or restrictive (the air cannot enter). This helps a lot to decide a useful treatment, and allows you to focus on clinical diagnosis or other tests.
Other types of trials are those that are performed after a test of bronchodilation or provocation. The bronchodilation test are people with obstructive pattern in which you want to check if it can be reversed with the taking of aerosols. Provocation tests are performed when forced spirometry is normal but is suspected of having isolated obstruction episodes.
When doing a spirometrySpirometry he is recommended to everyone that a lung disease, both to diagnose it and to monitor its evolution is suspected. Diseases that benefit most from a spirometry are:
COPD: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease appears in smokers long time evolution. There are two variants: emphysema and chronic bronchitis, although they overlap sometimes. Spirometry can detect the obstructive pattern, check that it not reversed with bronchodilators, and watch the evolution of the disease.
Asthma: asthma is another obstructive disease of the respiratory system, but this time is reversible with bronchodilator aerosol. It can be persistent and last a lifetime, or be related to allergies and more temporary.
Allergies: there are allergic substances that have a direct effect on bronchial lung, making that they block temporarily. One of the most common would be the seasonal allergy to pollen or grass.
Pulmonary fibrosis: it's a disease with a strong genetic component and whose origin is not clear. Appears in the middle ages of life, when suddenly the lung begins to fibrosarse. Spirometry detects a restrictive pattern.
Sarcoidosis: is an autoimmune disease that affects the lungs and other organs in the body. Internal Granuloma obstructing the bronchi are formed. Spirometry serves to define the degree of involvement.
Bronchiectasis: are specific lung lesions that produce a (sometimes huge) dilation of the bronchi. Spirometry is usually not the definitive diagnostic test, but you can find inconclusive changes that encourage them to perform more tests.
Preparation for SpirometryIf you are performing a spirometry these are the issues that you must take into account:
Duration: usually takes very little time, about 10 minutes.
Admission: admission is not needed, it can be done on an outpatient basis.
Is necessary to be accompanied?: not, is a painless and not invasive, so you can only attend the clinic and return in the same way.
Drugs: don't need to take any prior medication. You must tell your doctor all the medicines that you eat so that you assess whether you should keep them or leave them. Especially if they are bronchodilators in spray.
Food: you can eat normally, it is not necessary to go on fasting to the clinic.
Clothes: you can wear normal street clothes. When you do the test take off sweaters or jackets that can bother you when you want to expand the lungs to inspire.
Documents: is better to carry the medical steering wheel with which calls for testing and health card. Maybe give you the results at the time of completion of the test and you need to save them.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding: neither pregnancy nor lactation are contraindications for performing this test.
Contraindications: No.
How spirometryWhen you are in the query they will make you a few general questions about your state of health and the situations in which you have noticed difficulty breathing. You will also be asked if you have repeat cough, expectoration, or heard ringing in the chest. Just after you explore, paying special attention to the auscultation of the lungs. If the doctor considers it necessary it will ask for Spirometry, which may make you at that moment or another day.
In the appointment of spirometry ask you that you feel and get comfortable. Advantage to take off your coats and jackets that make you feel uncomfortable when performing the test. When you're seated they ask that you take a small (somewhat larger than a mobile phone) device that has a small disposable tube. You will have to get the tube into the mouth to breathe through it. They tend to get pliers on the nose so that you breathe through it.
Prepared once they ask you that you breathe normally through the tube. So you will see that the machine well captures your breath and you breathe without problems. They will measure the air that you exchange through a normal respiratory rate. Then they ask you to take all the air you can and sewing it and sustain it for a few seconds, they will then tell you that you release it slowly until you can not already breathe more.
Here would be the simple spirometry. The next phase of the test would be forced spirometry. You will be asked to take all the air you can once again and sustain it for a couple of seconds. Then ask you that you let go of it suddenly, abruptly, and you keep releasing air until you can no more. It is normal that the technician who test yell and encourage you to release all the air quickly, sometimes with violence. It is the way that you see forced to perform the test properly, and if it doesn't you will have to repeat this last phase.
In cases where the obstructive pattern is detected, you can take the test of bronchodilation. This will give you a spray so you inhale a substance bronchodilator in two doses. A little while you repeat the forced spirometry.
Immediately after the test results, are obtained even if you have to go back to the doctor so that you assess them and you report.
Complications of spirometrySpirometry complications are not known. It is a safe test that does not entail risks for persons who are subjected to it. Associated with the test, have described asthma attacks but it is anecdotal and they can be prevented by detecting people who are not well respiratoriamente at the time of the test.
SpirometryThe spirometry results are obtained at the same time make it and must be performed by a pulmonologist or doctor with experience. In the report, there will be a series of data that help to understand what kind of alteration of lung function you have.
The values that they are obtained from the simple spirometry are:
Current volume: is the volume of air that we exchange with normal breathing. It is usually 0.5 l.
Inspiratory and expiratory reserve volume: is the volume of air that can inspire or breathe if we force the breath the most. We can come to inspire 3 more L & 1.1 L more than normal.
Vital capacity: is the sum of the current volume + inspiratory reserve volume + expiratory reserve volume. It is therefore the entire volume of air that can drop from a maximum inspiration.
What we can not study with a spirometry is the total lung capacity, i.e., the total volume of air that are capable of retaining the lungs. This happens because always remains something of air in the lungs even when we perform a maximum exhalation is the residual volume.
The values that they are obtained in a forced spirometry are:
Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1 or FEV1): is the volume of air that we are able to expel from blow in the first second of expiration.
Forced vital capacity (FVC or FVC): is the time it took us to expel all possible air from a maximum inspiration
Tiffeneau index: is obtained by dividing the FEV between the FVC. Thus it is known what percentage of volume is ejected in one second with respect to the total volume of air. It is the most important value because it allows to classify obstructive or restrictive pulmonary pattern . The normal value is 80%.
Forced expiratory flow between 25-75% of the FVC: is a value that has a complicated interpretation. It is the first to be altered in smokers and can detect if in the future there will be a serious pulmonary obstruction.

A meeting of foreign ministers of Egypt, Jordan and Palestine is scheduled for Saturday in Cairo, Egypt, this Saturday, as part of a three-way coordination mechanism to monitor developments in the peace process, an Egyptian Foreign Ministry spokesman told reporters.
The meeting will be the second one under the coordination mechanism. The first meeting was held in Amman, Jordan, on May 14, where the three countries discussed ways to "support the Palestinian cause," coordinate positions and exchange views ahead of President Donald Trump's visit to the region.
The Egyptian spokesman pointed out that the meetings help the main Arab countries involved in regional coordination efforts to "support the Palestinian cause," to assess the current situation in Judea and Samaria following the recent "escalation" in Jerusalem and other Arab cities, and to review the latest political and security developments, consultation and coordination among them, ahead of the visit of the US delegation to the region with US envoys Jason Greenblatt, Jared Kushner, and Dina Powell.

6 Signs You Are Not Drinking Enough Water
Listen to your body.
1 August 2017
We've heard it all the time: drink more water! And still, most of us fail to prioritize it. As a result, we may begin to notice changes in our sense of well-being.
Just like a car alerts you when it is running out of fuel, your body sends out some signs that it needs to be hydrated. Here are 6 signs that you are dehydrated and need to drink more water.
1. You have chapped lips
If you have chapped lips despite constantly applying lip balm, it's a sign you need to up your H2O intake.
2. You have dry skin
If your skin is dry despite regular moisturisation, you need to drink more water.
3. You have headaches
If your head is throbbing and the pain only seems to be getting worse it often means that your body is dehydrated. In fact, an inadequate intake of water can trigger a migraine!
4. You feel tired all the time
If you are resting well but still feel sluggish and tired all of the time, you might be dehydrated.
5. You're constipated
TMI alert: your body needs to be hydrated in order to pass waste through your digestive tract. So if you haven't had enough water, it is going to be difficult for your body to pass that waste.
6. You're irritable and moody
Research has shown that you only need to be 1% below your optimal level of hydration to feel negative neurological effects like irritability and moodiness.
Drink up!

Granite and quartz worktops are often an investment of those wishing to turn a house into their dream home. Quality stone kitchen or bathroom worktops transform a room into a focal point for warmth and luxury. In addition, solid stone worktops simply cannot be beaten for durability, resilience and hygiene.
However, some potential purchasers of granite or quartz stone worktops hesitate before transforming their home in this way.
Of the undecided, those who may question the relative expense of such worktops should weigh up the relative merits of owning a solid stone worktop that can easily last a lifetime, over cheaper synthetic alternatives that stain, crack or chip easily.
Alternatively, those who worry that stone surfaces require extra maintenance would do well to note that bathroom and kitchen granite worktops need only a simple brush over with a sealant every year or so, and that Compac Quartz requires no such treatment at all.
Some homeowners worry about the possibility that they might move home sometime in the future and therefore question the wisdom of paying out for granite or quartz surfaces. UK homes however have been found by some to sell more easily with solid stone worktops, whether made from granite, Compac Quartz or its equivalent in enhanced and refined marble, Compac Marmol. Many estate agents also comment that such stone worktops can actually increase the overall value of a property.
Furthermore, quartz and granite worktops, regardless of style and colour, are of such high quality that they rarely give any redecoration concerns to the potential purchaser of a property.

We traveled down to southeast Texas for a second time this month and stopped by one of the best burger joints in Texas, Willy Burger!
This place is definitely off the beaten path in Beaumont, Texas. We heard about it through the grape vine and decided to give it a try.
When we walked up to the door I could tell we were going to love this place! The inside was modeled just like an old fashioned soda shop with a 50s vibe. The entire place was squeaky clean and vibrant with color!
The menu features many specialty burgers, hot dogs, onion rings, and milk shakes! They make their beef patties fresh every single day! You can even watch the patties being made through a display window while you wait in line!
I chose the "Booty Burger" which is a normal cheese burger that is topped with a fried boudain patty! It was so huge I was only able to eat half of it! I thought it was delicious! The hubby got the "Uncle Charlie" which has 3 strips of bacon, 3 crispy onion rings, and is topped off with BBQ sauce, all on a beef patty! Walk in hungry y'all! These burgers are huge!
The restaurant is just as awesome as the food! There is a streamline trailer attached to the side of the restaurant that has been remodeled as a dinning area. You walk through a small hallway of pennies to get in! Pretty neat!
We were pleased with the atmosphere, the service, and the quality of the food! I highly recommend this if you are passing through Beaumont, TX on your way to Louisiana!

The Prominent Party Member awoke from his avaricious slumber in a state of expectation and excitement. A new day, a new dawn, a new era. An era that would begin – and end – with him as Leader. Leader! The word itself brought a slight tremor to his throat; it held unknown possibilities, unknown pleasures. The reserved parking space at Party HQ, the lucrative hampers with Selfridges' compliments, and the even more lucrative business dinners that would guarantee him a small island on which to retire (the PPM was considering Cuba) and a first-class escort with an IQ smaller than her waist. After this exhausting slog of speeches and being driven around to various council estates in order to hob-nob with the natives, it was only right that his efforts should be rewarded. Today would be the final push to reach the summit of stardom and second homes; following this broadcast, the ardent Party supporters would cast their votes, and fall on bended knee before him. He would be revered and praised for raising his country out of the ashes scattered by the Other Party, and across the country the hoi polloi would be weeping in gratitude before the compulsory oil painting that would be displayed in every home. Even in the homes of his arse-sniffing, communist-loving adversaries. That would teach them a thing or two.
Arriving at the television studios, the PPM's arse-sniffing, communist-loving rivals looked significantly worse-for-wear than the PPM himself. They did not have the family funds with which to support their campaigns, or the influence upon the Bank of England, or the willingness to buy thousands of hats for their supporters. It was fair that he should win, after all, for he had put the most money (but not necessarily the most effort) into his campaign. This wealth radiated out from his sunken face like a beacon; it attracted voters like moths to a light. Dyed hair, kerching! Subtle fake tan, kerching! Expensive tailored suit, kerching! The common man would be unable to understand the money behind those bleached teeth, but to fellow members of the new aristocracy, this unprecedented spending on his image only meant one thing – that the PPM was counting down the minutes until he was announced Leader.
And the minutes were flowing away. Helped by his friends in high places – and the fact that he was sleeping with one of the debate's hosts – the PPM breezed his way through the 'heated' and 'feisty' show, dodging questions and making unkind remarks about his adversaries. But what else would one expect? The art of politics is one of appearances, and damn, did the PPM look good. He looked good, sounded good, and had just the right amount of suppressed sexual urge to appeal to the middle-aged woman who fancied herself a 'vixen' and whose deepest desire was to appear in Fifty Shades. The audience was full of these vixens; batting their veined eyelids at him and overwhelming his nostrils with fifty shades of musk.
Damn – he had spent too long attempting to impress the small number of intellectuals in the crowd, and now his time was up. These intellectuals were evidently displeased with his views on immigration and compulsory vasectomies for men who had fathered more than three children. On the other hand, however the women were going crazy. As he was showered with roses, M & S multi-pack multi-usage control knickers and the odd DD-cup bra, the PPM was satisfied that he had appealed to those who really had the power. The curtain fell, and the final lap had begun.
The PPM's tremendous excess of money had helped. After all, he wasn't really running the race – he was just floating along on wads of cash and an Etonian education. Being Party Leader was his birthright.

Today, Microsoft released the Windows 7-based Windows Embedded Standard 2011 (formerly code-named "Quebec") Community Technology Preview (CTP) to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and developers of specialized devices worldwide through its immediate public availability at http://connect.microsoft.com/windowsembedded.

"To meet the demand for improved user experiences and connectivity among today's rapidly growing categories of specialized devices, Microsoft has strategically planned the release of Windows 7-based technologies to OEMs in the embedded marketplace," said Kevin Dallas, general manager of the Windows Embedded Business at Microsoft. "The availability of the Windows Embedded Standard 2011 CTP empowers our worldwide ecosystem of OEMs, partners and developers to take advantage of the next-generation platform's enhanced Windows 7-based features and provide feedback prior to its general release to manufacturing.

User called marxo found a new Windows XP MCE-like theme in the latest CTP of Windows Embedded:
This style can be found in the Windows Embedded Standard CTP Refresh. It's called "Embedded" and, along with the wallpaper, gets copied into the image if the Windows XP UI component is added. As it's digitally signed it works with any XP/Server 2003 install.

Although it hasn't said much about its plans for a Vista-based successor to its Windows XP-based embedded operating system, Microsoft already is working on one.
Microsoft released during the first week of June a new test build of its latest Windows XP-based embedded operating system, known as "Windows Embedded Standard 2009," the final version of which is slated to ship by the end of 2008.
However, Microsoft also is readying the 2010 successor to this product — another Windows Embedded release codenamed "Quebec." Unlike the 2009 release of Windows Embedded, the Quebec product will make use of a number of features that are part of Windows Vista.
Microsoft is on tap to share some information about the Vista-based embedded release at its TechEd Developers Conference this week in Orlando. A first widescale Community Technology Preview (CTP) test build of Quebec is due out next year.
Microsoft's Windows Embedded family of products, which Microsoft sells to device makers, is designed to power thin client terminals, point-of-service terminals, gaming devices, medical-imaging systems, DVRs and industrial-automation systems, among other products. Windows Embedded is not at the core of cell phones or ultra-low-cost PCs (ULPCs), however. Windows Mobile phones currently are built on top of a Windows CE-based core and ULPCs run full-fledged Windows. (Microsoft has OK'd ULPC makers shipping Windows XP on their systems through 2010.)

Today at the Tech•Ed North America 2008 Developers conference and through a global webcast event, Microsoft Corp. announced the immediate availability of the Windows Embedded Standard 2009 Community Technology Preview (CTP). In addition, the company stated the product will be available to customers in the fourth quarter of 2008. Windows Embedded Standard 2009 is designed for OEMs wanting to quickly build devices that seamlessly connect into the existing enterprise infrastructure. Featuring new technologies including Microsoft Silverlight, Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) 6.1, and Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5, Windows Embedded Standard 2009 is designed to drive managed and secure thin clients, sophisticated point of service and kiosk devices requiring visually compelling user experiences, and smart networked multifunction printers that are easy to manage and connect with enterprise infrastructure. Windows Embedded Standard 2009 also includes componentized drivers for Intel Corporation's latest x86 processor architectures, providing device makers with the flexibility to access the latest generation of hardware.
"Including Intel's drivers, like those for the new Intel® Atom™ Processor, in Windows Embedded Standard saves developers time otherwise required to validate and incorporate them into their designs," said Doug Davis, vice president of the Digital Enterprise Group, and general manager of Embedded and Communications Group at Intel. "This development approach can save up to weeks in getting a product on the shelves."
"The market has validated the strategy and vision that we set forward less than a year ago," said Kevin Dallas, general manager of the Windows Embedded Business Unit at Microsoft. "With new features in Windows Embedded Standard 2009 enabling OEMs to build embedded devices that combine seamlessly into existing enterprise infrastructure, including the latest Microsoft desktop and server technologies, we are delivering the core foundation for the next generation of smart, connected, service-oriented devices in the enterprise."

A Visual and Culinary event at Alfred Farmers Market
Last Sunday we brought our ideas of the Artist Recipe Project to the Alfred Farmers Market. Catching the end of the zucchini season, we selected one of our artists Matthew Underwood's zucchini bread recipe and brought it into reality, as an endorsement of our project. Artist Recipe Project recently became part of 1% for the Planet. As we introduced people to 1% for the Planet, this allowed us to talk about why we decided to make these reusable wooden plates and install the simple setup. We chose all of the ingredients from the local as the material for the zucchini bread. During the time of putting everything together, it gave us a chance to experiment with laser cutting on vegetables which had a unique visual expression that matched our project.
From responses like a grandma's complement about the bread, to sincere discussions with college students about our project, we are convinced that this "making" couldn't happen without the appreciation for each other, gathering the seriousness of art and daily moments.
Supported by Alfred Farmers Market, The Rogue Carrot Natural Groceries, Living Acres Farm, Little Sicily, and 1% for the Planet. Special thanks to Matthew Underwood, Cassandra Bull and all the encouraging energy.

"Queensdale Avenue - between Upper Wellington Street & Upper Ottawa Street. This project is not proceeding."
As TLC feared, a comprehensive cycling network is subject to parochialism, and any gains from good planning are in jeopardy.
This kind of political interference does not support provincial planning objectives around transportation. What good is a city-wide cycling plan if it can be broken by bad arguements from nervous or misinformed councillors.
Is there a role for the province here?

I have bought several small Brazilian species in the past few months and this Laelia bradei is a recent addition. It is a bit of a disappointment, having no live roots and a small piece in the pot to make it look larger.
There is a group of sellers on eBay who sell in this group of species. I think I have bought from most of them now and have started to decide which I may want to buy from again.
These pieces are going to be mounted. The lack of roots will make for a slow start, but may end up with a more attractive root system in a couple of years.

Happy Birthday to you!
A card made for 2 of my favorite challenges:
Case this sketch
Addicted to CAS
The flower was stamped & heat embossed in white on patterned paper, then layered with a die cut version in vellum. A stamped sentiment and sequins to finish it off. I finally got some vellum glue dots... so I didn't need to hide anything this time!
Thanks for visiting me again!

This is my sixth rework of this patch. The problem with the previous
version is that the underlying file system's block_map function
may set the buffer_head's b_state to 0, which may be misinterpreted
by fiemap as meaning it has returned the hole size in b_size.
This version implements a suggestion from Steve Whitehouse: it
improves on the design by (unfortunately) using two flags: a flag to
tell block_map to return hole size if possible, and another flag to
tell fiemap that the hole size has been returned. This way there is
no possibility of a misunderstanding.
The problem:
If you do a fiemap operation on a very large sparse file, it can take
an extremely long amount of time (we're talking days here) because
function __generic_block_fiemap does a block-for-block search when it
encounters a hole.
The solution:
Allow the underlying file system to return the hole size so that
function __generic_block_fiemap can quickly skip the hole. I have a
companion patch to GFS2 that takes advantage of the new flags to
speed up fiemap on sparse GFS2 files. Other file systems can do the
same as they see fit. For GFS2, the time it takes to skip a 1PB hole
in a sparse file goes from days to milliseconds.
Patch description:
This patch changes function __generic_block_fiemap so that it sets a new
buffer_want_holesize bit. The new bit signals to the underlying file system
to return a hole size from its block_map function (if possible) in the
event that a hole is encountered at the requested block. If the block_map
function encounters a hole, and sets buffer_got_holesize, fiemap takes the
returned b_size to be the size of the hole, in bytes. It then skips the
hole and moves to the next block. This may be repeated several times
in a row, especially for large holes, due to possible limitations of the
fs-specific block_map function. This is still much faster than trying
each block individually when large holes are encountered. If the
block_map function does not set buffer_got_holesize, the request for
holesize has been ignored, and it falls back to today's method of doing a
block-by-block search for the next valid block.

Leaving the sports "Hot Hatch" Ford Focus RS 2017 even more radical, a custom Tuning UK Project Kahn unveiled its latest kit for the model, where major changes were focused on the design of its exterior.
Among the main changes, the Ford Focus RS by Project Kahn has a bodykit with side slits, diffusers below the bumpers front and rear, matte black finish your spoiler and a new exhaust system.
But the highlight of the kit from Project Kahn for the Ford Focus RS is a beautiful game for your 19-inch wheels, with designs that match the look sporting the hatch. In addition, their lower body due to a sportier suspension and rigid, further highlights the sporty set.
Although no photos of the interior, it can also be customized to your taste with different types and colors of fabrics and finishes. However, its engine Turbocharged 2.5-liter with 305 HP of power has not been modified since the weight / power of the model is already very satisfactory.
