The word one must avoid is "timeless." "Timeless" brings bad luck. Nothing tempts the gods so much as the arrogance of a timeless skyscraper.
And yet, no one minds arrogance these days, and a bit of hubris never hurt anyone; even a lot of it--to quote Michael Douglas in his role as greedy arbitrageur--can be a good thing! The greed of big business and the arrogance of big builders have given us vistas and sky views that rival anything from Mount Olympus. Skyscrapers, after all, are about business the way Manhattan is about buildings.
The sense of danger and awe that any large structure automatically invokes to those of us who are superstitious but not afraid of heights may never have crossed the architect's mind.
You can criticize skyscrapers for their irreverent arrogance, but you can't accuse them of defying the odds. This, after all, is what skyscrapers are supposed to do; this is what they have in common with the man who threw a cable between both towers of the World Trade Center and then proceeded to walk on it. They defy the odds, look the odds in the face and stick their tongue out, as did another fearless soul, the New York Times photographer Ernie Sisto, when he asked two colleagues to hold him by the legs while he climbed out onto a ledge high on the Empire State Building and, aiming down, got the angle he wanted for his photograph of the huge hole left by a B-25 bomber that had crashed into the building.
Mention any book on skyscrapers and its pages will invariably round up the usual nouns: pride, power, glory, ambition, splendor, defiance. The vaulting arrogance of the Woolworth Building, the sleek opulence of the Flatiron Building, the guarded splendor of the Chrysler, the garish plenitude of the Ansonia. The adjectives trickle down with the two-bit eloquence of someone trying to avoid the obvious word: "timeless."
Timeless, however, is an irrelevant concept--and for totally modern reasons. We have grown wiser with the centuries and no longer build skyscrapers the way people used to build pyramids. We build for the long haul, but not for eternity.
The most cursory glance at Sarah Bradford Landau and Carl W. Condit's spectacular Rise of the New York Skyscraper, 1865-1913, tells the sad tale plainly enough: The Washington Life Building (demolished), Commercial Cable Building (demolished), Gillender Building (demolished), St. Paul Building (demolished)--and the list goes on. The long haul, it turns out, is not long enough. And here-to-stay is really here-today.
Gone-tomorrow! And this, in the end, is the untold tale that the builders of the Parthenon, of the Lighthouse, of the Circus Maximus or of Versailles would never have understood. We don't quite understand it ourselves: not that all things come down in the end, but that the end must come so soon.
There is after all something even more arrogant than building the Tower of Babel. It is building it and then, on second thought, tearing the whole thing down again. Our arrogance may be more circumspect that King Nimrod's, but it is also tackier. It lacks what our buildings try so hard to convey: grandeur.
But then, perhaps, there lies the magic of a skyscraper: that it exists, that it still holds, that its lease on land may be renewed another 10 years. When we stand aloft and see the rest of mankind turn to ants or fear that we might slip and fall, though we know we can't, it is the vulnerability of adjoining skyscrapers that mystifies us, not ours.
In Gordon Coster's photograph of the Chrysler Building (1929), it is its towering temerity pensively, meekly awaiting the end that sobers the viewer, just as no one can look at Karl Struss' picture of a Pennsylvania Station basking in powerful mid-afternoon light and not think that these places are, after all, quite defenseless.
Demolition is an art form itself. We see three photos: One minute the building stands, then a cloud of smoke, and then, in the third take, nothing but rubble. There are more humorous variations on the theme: the Metropolitan Life Insurance Tower leaning at a 45-degree angle, toying with the idea of its own collapse. Man Ray's tilted model of a skyscraper.
Strangely enough, pictures and photographs of skyscrapers are seldom austere, cold or minatory; instead they grace the stones with almost-languorous bewilderment that is almost like love.
City of Ambition, Artists and New York, a beautiful collage of scenes from New York that does not mean to provide a comprehensive portrait of the city, toys with the contrast between massive structures and human memory. The book itself is arranged in a way that dramatizes this contrast, for it mixes poetry, paintings and photographs, some capturing the masonries, people at work, out to lunch, in an employment agency, at a Bendel's sale, at the movies, and, of course, the unavoidable el train and occasional homicide scene.
Here, the contrast between Hopper's tenement and the skyscraper is not intended to emphasize the fact that perfectly shaped tributes to affluence were being erected while people were starving during the Depression, but rather that these buildings, so austerely aloof, so unliving, and so visibly spared from the humdrum, day-to-day nonsense of daily jostling existed in a manner that Fritz Lang's "Metropolis" might have considered unthinkable.
The subway station, and the Brooklyn Bridge, and the old street vendors on Houston Street belong to the same world, the way, even today, a walk along a row of sparkling skyscrapers in Manhattan must ultimately cross the invasive earthy odor of fried bacon or shish kebab. That both can exist in so tight a strip of land is the small miracle of Manhattan. George Bellows' Pennsylvania Station Excavation and Edward Hopper Apartment Houses, Harlem River, and Alvin Langdon Coburn the Flat-Iron Building are, in this respect, part of the same city.
If there is anything timeless in this melange, it is not so much because these structures might endure for a very long time. Nor is it because we want them to endure, because in more ways than one our lives are so intimately braided into these buildings that if they were to go, part of us would go as well.
But rather if there is something timeless in this symbiosis it is because, in looking at Berenice Abbott's "The Night View," a stunning aerial photograph of speckling New York skyscrapers, one must constantly remind oneself that it was taken, not last night, but 60 years ago, that New York has not really changed since, that if it hasn't we haven't, that it is still very livable, that it is not, and might ever be, the metropolis we each fear it might suddenly become one day.

With a technology with as much machine learning (ML), it can be difficult to avoid hyperbole. Sure, billions of dollars in investment are pouring into ML projects. Yes, machine learning is a centerpiece of digital transformation strategies. And, to be certain, machine learning is often what people are talking about when they use the umbrella term “AI.” So it’s worth taking the time to look at real-world ML capabilities being developed and deployed at digitally nimble companies around the globe.
Due to the high costs associated with health care and the significant benefits offered by better health care decisions, we are likely to see exponential growth in the application of AI to health care in the years to come.

The Sci Fi Catholic: Best Movie Ever?
This movie preview for Raging Phoenix got me so totally pumped, I nearly kicked my mom right in the face. It's the new JeeJa Yanin flick from Thailand, and though it is unfortunately still made with that "real fighting" and "real injuries" garbage...it has dance-fu! Do you hear me? Dance-fu!!! And it has JeeJa Yanin, of course, which is also a bonus, and it even claims to contain the first film presentation of Chinese Drunken Boxing vs. Drunken Muay Thai.

Learn all you need to know about using a hammer in woodworking.
Never use a hammer against a wooden surface. To tap your workpiece, you need to use a Mallet, as you will see in our next video.
Using a hammer for the first time? Help is at hand! This step-by-step video will take you through everything you need to know to use a hammer safely and effectively in your own woodwork projects.
In this video you will learn how to use a hammer.
Hammers are used for driving nails in wood and metal and also to pull them out.
It combines two diametrically opposite principles, pounding and levering.
There are several types of hammers and several factors influence the selection of the right hammer for the particular job: the size of the nail, the weight and shape of the head, the length and material of the handle and the curvature of the claws.
The hammer typically has a metal head and a handle.
Check if the hammer head is firmly attached to the head.
Wrap the fingers around the handle and hold it firmly.
For light work, grip the handle about midway.
For maximum driving force, hold near the end.
For more control place the hand in the middle and extend the index finger.
Clamp the workpiece on a workbench.
Remember to place some scrap wood below so that the nail doesn't damage the workbench.
Always start with a couple of tentative taps and take your hand off.
Swing from the elbow and the shoulder to hammer with force.
The hammer should be thought as an extension of the arm.
When you hammer there is hardly any wrist action.
Let the weight of the hammer do the work.
Keep your eyes on the nail and not on the hammer and your hand.
Be careful not to hit your own fingers.
You also need to make sure you do not hit the workpiece and damage it.
On rough work, keep striking with a mounting force.
The last and final blow should sink the nail head into the wood.
For small nails, slide the hand closer to the head and strike lightly.
If the hammer and nail are well aligned, you will be able to drive the nail without bending it.
to finish your work strike steadily.
Ease up for the last two or three blows.
Avoid banging a hammer sideways.
Whenever possible, try and hit the nail square to the workpiece.
In case the nail gets bent or you just need to pull it out, you can do it with a claw hammer.
Use a curved claw hammer to remove a nail.
If you have a tough time pulling out the nail with a claw hammer you might need a piece of wood that you could use as a fulcrum to facilitate the task.
The Warrington hammer allows driving small nails with minimal risk of hurting your fingers.
It is also useful for tapping wooden pieces into alignment.
You can also use some cardboard to avoid accidentally hitting your own fingers.
Push the nail through a piece of carton or stiff paper and use that to hold the nail.
This way your fingers are away from the hammer.
Hit steadily and drive the nail in.
Pull out the cardboard when you are done.
You have now learnt how to use a hammer.

Today I had a pleasure of being taught meditation again in a Buddhist Monastery. I love the variety of monks that take sessions. Each one is very individual with unique personalities and I can’t help but smile most of the time I am there. There’s this sweet calmness about the place that is really relaxing. It also feels authentic rather than constructed or forced. It is there naturally. Simplistic and clean environment is so inviting and conducive to a practice of meditation.
Today’s lesson was to be curious, wonder about your mind and allow it to be whatever it wants to be. Another aspect is to recognise it as a part of you, hence being self-loving means not judging your own thoughts but let them be. Everything is impermanent. Thoughts come and go and we don’t need to attach ourselves to any of them. We are observing and being curious about our mind’s nature.
I really understood this today and it opened my eyes to a possibility of actually being able to implement this into my practice and my life on a wider scale. I do think Buddhist meditation is a very intelligent system at regulating our thoughts and emotional responses. I am curious to know more on outside and within. Today was all about getting to know our minds through being inwardly aware.
What I observed was that my mind is often very obliging. One might say it is trying too hard and there’s a lot of energy spent, often unnecessary, on creating thought patterns that are not needed. It also gets confused by its own ‘trying hard’ and runs away with it, so to speak. It felt amazing to be able to obtain that information through meditation.
I also observed that I do well in meditation and succeed in calming my mind when focusing on an object (It was caramel cake today. No idea why) or a word (again it was cake) and repeating it over and over. Image and word today were spontaneous, but I imagine it can also easily be chosen specifically for a meditation. I also realised that I do best with guidance rather than on my own, i.e. guiding meditations help me.
I am yet to master the right posture and position when meditating. I am too uncomfortable but when I am not focusing on my legs or engage with thinning about how uncomfortable it feels I am able to sit still and be calm. That is a good demonstration of how it IS possible not to get attached to a thought that a mind is trying to focus on and as a result to remain calm.
I also noticed quite clearly how my mind naturally wants to grab onto negative thoughts rather than positive. That was great to realise and I feel I might sort of understand a way of changing that too going forward with a lot more practice. It does explain my nature very well and wanting to attach to something positive naturally is going to take some time. Once I try that the aim is not to attach to any forms of thought and simply remain in curious observation.
I am thrilled to be able to continue with my learning in such a beautiful and peaceful place.

When it comes to gambling, both in online casinos and land-based casinos, the laws can be very strict. Luckily Colorado is one of the leading states that have chosen to benefit from the growing gambling industry.
In many states, the choice of gambling options are very limited but residents in Colorado have plenty of options. Instead of restricting gambling, the state has chosen to embrace it and profit from it.
Below you will find a complete guide on all the legal forms of gambling within the state of Colorado. This guide is the ultimate tool for learning about all the legal forms of gambling and the restrictions in place in the state of Colorado.
Who Regulates Casinos in Colorado?
While Colorado is considered to be a very liberal state when it comes to their gambling laws, players are still confused as to whether online gambling is legal here or not. While Colorado does not specifically ban online gambling, they have not yet legalised it.
Thus, you will find online casino sites operating within the state, but they are not legalised or regulated. As the state is very pro-gambling, many expect online gambling to become legal and regulated within the next few years.
Currently, you might not get prosecuted for gambling online within the state but there are many dangers that come with playing at unlicensed or unregulated sites. It’s best to think of online gambling as illegal and rather visit any of the land-based casinos or participate in legal forms of gambling within the state instead.
Colorado is one of the states that have embraced the gambling industry which means players in the state have plenty of choices. There are over 40 land-based casinos to visit within Colorado and all are licensed and controlled by the state.
Each of these casinos has a large variety of popular games for players to enjoy on a regular basis. You will find a full range of slots, as well as card and table games available in these casinos. There are also two Tribal casinos situated in the South of the state where you can find the full range of games as well as keno options.
Land-based casinos have been legal in Colorado since 1990 and while they started with a large number of over 70 land-based casinos there are only 40 that still remain. These casinos are quite popular among residents as they offer a large variety of casino games.
Poker players can enjoy playing this popular card game in many of the land-based casinos found in Colorado. Poker is considered to be legal and quite popular in the state of Colorado with big live poker games and tournaments being hosted regularly at the land-based establishment. The state even recently hosted the very first $1 million guaranteed poker tournament.
When it comes to online poker gambling, things aren’t so liberal. At the current time, online Poker has not been legalised although the state is currently in the process of considering legislation. But for now online poker is currently covered by the blanket ban on gambling that isn’t licensed or exempted according to the Attorney General. It is best to play poker games at the legal establishments found within the state of Colorado.
Is Sportsbook Legal in Colorado?
At the current time, only pari-mutuel betting is allowed on greyhound and horse racing within the state of Colorado.
Daily Fantasy Sports was only made legal in 2016 when the Governor of Colorado signed the legislation to permit DFS in the state on the 10th of June. Residents can safely participate in DFS tournaments and games without fear of prosecution. The only fantasy contests that are not allowed are any involving college sports.
There is a lottery in Colorado open to residents that are of legal age. The state also shares nationwide games which include the popular Powerball lottery. The state uses profits from their lottery to invest in community colleges and other causes.
When it comes to gambling in Colorado, one of the few restrictions you’ll find are age restrictions. Those who are 18 years or older can legally take part in the lottery, bingo, as well as dog and horseracing. Only residents aged 21 or older can legally take part in gambling at land-based casinos.
The state of Colorado takes these restrictions very seriously and anyone who is caught gambling while underage will face criminal charges. It is, therefore, best to stick to the age restrictions to prevent from being prosecuted.
The gaming operations in Colorado are all licensed and regulated by the Colorado Gaming Commission.
Gambling a bit too much?
Colorado is one of the more liberal states that have chosen to embrace the gambling industry rather than ban it. That being said there are still many forms of gambling that are not considered legal within the state of Colorado.
All forms of online gambling are considered illegal even if it isn’t exclusively mentioned in state laws as illegal. While the state might not specifically ban online gambling, the country rules do. Luckily there are over 40 land-based casinos within the state of Colorado where you can safely participate in all types of gambling options.

when it comes to gambling in colorado, one of the few restrictions you’ll find are age restrictions. those who are 18 years or older can legally take part in the lottery, bingo, as well as dog and horseracing. only residents aged 21 or older can legally take part in gambling at land-based casinos.
the state of colorado takes these restrictions very seriously and anyone who is caught gambling while underage will face criminal charges. it is, therefore, best to stick to the age restrictions to prevent from being prosecuted.
the gaming operations in colorado are all licensed and regulated by the colorado gaming commission.
gambling a bit too much?
colorado is one of the more liberal states that have chosen to embrace the gambling industry rather than ban it. that being said there are still many forms of gambling that are not considered legal within the state of colorado.
all forms of online gambling are considered illegal even if it isn’t exclusively mentioned in state laws as illegal. while the state might not specifically ban online gambling, the country rules do. luckily there are over 40 land-based casinos within the state of colorado where you can safely participate in all types of gambling options.

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an innovative technology based on very old theory of sensory stimulation that been used to control pain thousands of years ago. Ancient Egyptians may have used electrogenic fish 4500 years ago applying the same concept. Now, we have so many clinical studies and firm data to support the effectiveness and the benefits of Spinal Cord Stimulation in lots of painful conditions.
Simply, the Spinal cord stimulation (SCS), consists of electrical energy producing electrodes placed in the epidural space, and connected to electrical pulse generator that transmits signals to dorsal part of the spinal cord, interrupting pain signals from reaching the brain.
SCS has notable analgesic properties and is used mostly in the treatment of failed back surgery syndrome, complex regional pain syndrome and refractory pain due to ischemia.
SCS is also used for neuropathic pain, including Diabetic Neuropathy, Spinal Stenosis, Chronic Radiculopathy, and is identified as an effective treatment option for many chronic pain sufferers.
Spinal cord stimulation provides pain relief by transmitting very precisely measured electrical impulses to the spinal cord. The SCS signals passes through the same pathway that pain signals go through, this way the SCS signals block the pain transmission to reach the brain. The pain sensation now is substituted by a pleasant sensation that can differ from patient to patient, but it is always a pleasant sensation that is very well liked by most of the patients.
When SCS is scheduled for a trial, a SCS lead is introduced into the epidural space under Fluoroscopic (X-Ray) guidance. The specific level of the spinal cord at which the lead is placed inside the epidural space will depend on where you feel pain.
Usually SCS trial lead placement, is as simple as an Epidural Injection, the only difference is that it is done under different sterile preparation that takes most of the procedure time.
After successful placement is confirmed, the trial lead is secured in place using a sterile tape, and attached to an external pulse generator that gets programed in recovery to make sure that you are comfortable with the SCS coverage. Once connected, the system generates mild electrical pulses that will be programmed to replace your areas of intense pain with the more pleasant sensation, aka paresthesia.
The doctor will determine with you the length of the trial period, usually from 4 days to no later than a week. The trial period is like a test drive, you get to try it out through your regular daily activities, mainly the ones that you were unable to engage in because of the pain. By programing the battery remote control, you will be able to control the simulation strength, area of coverage, different programing sensation, turning it on and off…and lots of other pleasant features that helps you control your pain.
If your trial is successful, you and your doctor agreed that you are going to benefit from the SCS system, placement of a permanent SCS system will be arranged.
How the SCS implant is different from the trial?
Pain control wise, shouldn’t be any difference at all, and that is why we did the trial in the first place. The only difference is the surgical aspect of the procedure, the implant is usually done under deeper sedation or general anesthesia and takes longer time than the trial, usually around one hour to one hour and a half.
The SCS system implant means that the whole system (leads and battery) will be placed under the skin so there will be nothing coming out of your body.
The battery will be the most superficial part of the system in order to be charged and programed when needed, and it is roughly around the size of an “Oreo” cookie. There are multiple areas of the body where the battery can be placed, it is discussed with the doctor and it is usually determined based on your preference.
The battery is charged by placing the charger over the area where the battery is implanted, and is controlled by a remote control to turn the device on/off, adjusting intensity, changing programs to change how it feels making sure you are getting the most pain control out of it. Implantable systems like the SCS, makes it possible to resume most of your normal life and recreational activities without limitations.
SCS also enables many people to reduce or eliminate the use of pain medications. Keep in mind that even though an SCS system is called permanent, it is a reversible therapy. If treatment should no longer be needed, the implanted parts can be easily removed.
Both procedures are done on an outpatient basis. The SCS trial procedure takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes including the preparation time, the SCS implant takes two hours at most, both are followed by a short period in recovery.
SCS for some patient is a turning point, specially the patients that had a long history of nerves related pain. Success rate depends a lot on the patient selection and setting up the right expectations from this procedure. While the degree of pain relief varies from person to person, based on studies, more than 80 percent of patients undergone treatment report a 50 to 70 percent reduction in improvement in their pain. The pain relief is reflected in so many aspects of their lives, like being able to engage back in work and family family activities normally again.
And in turn, controlling your pain is reflected on your mental well being, stress level and ultimately improving the overall quality of life.
If you suffer from chronic pain that is due to spine or disc diseases, following back or neck surgeries, spinal stenosis or any other nerves related pain, spinal cord stimulation (SCS) may enable you to control and relieve your pain.

The maths course at Key Stage 3 builds on the mastery of key number and geometry concepts studied in primary school and provides students with the necessary skills and knowledge to access the GCSE maths course in Key Stage 4. Year 7 and Year 8 students follow a mastery scheme of work in which teaching for understanding enables students to continue their learning in number and geometry and extend this further into algebra and statistics. The scheme of work promotes a depth and breadth of understanding around each theme to ensure a fluent foundation is built and students’ deep understanding enables them to apply their skills and communicate their knowledge across a range of contexts and problems.
If you would like further information about the topics and themes being taught please contact: Mr Mark Crossley (Head of Maths).
The maths course at Key Stage 4 builds on the mastery of key mathematical concepts acquired at Key Stage 3. Year 9 students follow a mastery scheme of work in which teaching for understanding enables students to continue their learning in key number concepts of ratio and proportional reasoning and geometry. The GCSE course is then taught with the same principals of teaching for understanding in all strands of Number, Ratio and Proportion, Algebra, Shape and Space and Statistics. There is a high focus on problem solving, reasoning and communicating mathematics to ensure that students develop the skills they need to apply to the final examination questions.
The GCSE Statistics course at Key Stage 4 covers the whole range of statistical techniques for collecting, processing, representing and interpreting data from a variety of contexts and also in depth understanding of Probability. Teaching for understanding is promoted throughout to enable students to apply their learning to a range of problems in both familiar and non-routine contexts and to be able to model real life scenarios.
At Outwood Academy Valley we study A-level Mathematics with AQA. This course will be externally examined at the end of Year 13. Some students may have the option to be externally examined in AS mathematics at the end of Year 12 also.
A-level Mathematics offers students with a good understanding of Maths the chance to study it at a higher level. It provides a thorough grounding in the mathematical tools and techniques often needed in the workplace. Techniques covered include algebra & proof, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, exponentials & logarithms, sequences & series and numerical methods which together form the fundamental building-blocks of the subject. We will also study some applied mathematics: statistics (sampling, regression, measures of central tendency & spread, probability distributions and hypothesis testing) and mechanics (vectors, constant acceleration formulae, Newton’s laws, projectile motion, friction and moments). Please note that both the pure & applied content is all standardised and no longer varies based upon exam board chosen.
Students will enjoy studying a course which will give them a strong foundation for study in other A-level subjects and many varied careers from Astronomer to Zoologist, Cryptologist to Cartographer, Statistician to Systems Engineer and Meteorologist to … Mathematician!
•	the ability to process, interpret & analyse information.
We hope to see you in our A-level classroom next year!

"Everyone who follows politics in PNG knows that Ipatas was the one who sponsored the Opposition’s drive to overthrow the government when he led members of the current Opposition to nail their shoes to a post at his Bluff Inn Motel last year. He has always been planning and scheming to change the government since 2007 after failing miserably in his campaign to become the next Prime Minister," Minister Rambi said.
"For him to say now that he is a "friend" of NA and will continue to support the government is quite difficult to believe. His kind of "friendship" is one that the National Alliance Party, as an institution, cannot afford to trust," he said.
Mr Rambi said Mr Ipatas should not meddle in the NA party affairs because NA is simply too big an institution for him to play his politics with. "While we respect and value the support of all coalition partners, we will not tolerate those with sinister motives, as we believe is the case with the Pipols Party and its leader.
"I call on coalition partners to reciprocate the respect that NA has for them so that we work together to continue to provide the political stability needed to advance this country," Mr Rambi said. He said Governor Ipatas must work with leaders of NA highlands like Don Pomb Polye and the Acting PM, Sam Abal to ensure that basic government services are delivered to the people, rather than engaging in petty politics.

I never liked all the flak Nintendo got for debuting Zero Suit Samus. I think it's a very cool costume design! So to prove that it's not sexist, I put it on a character even shapelier than Samus Aran - Namco's Pac-Man!
So, Pac-Man with no botty and boobies.
Than,he will use the robot that he used in Tekken as his power suit?
You can't beat curves like that. But wouldn't Ms. Pac-Man have been more appropriate?
But seriously, I'll have to agree with your comments that the Zero Suit isn't sexist, at least it's better than what most females wear. Skin-tight as it is, Samus is completely covered, unlike Wonder Woman, Lara Croft, Cortana, Tifa Lockheart, Supergirl, Hawkgirl/woman, and so on into infinity. If I was Samus, I'd want something between my skin and all that Power Suit... Otherwise one would quickly become very, very sore ALL OVER.
:two cents: I do think Nintendo is objectifying Samus by steadily decreasing her Amazonian proportions, however. And I'm not talking about her curves; she's steadily lost the towering height and large muscles from the end of Super Metroid. By Other M she's almost as small and skinny as, well, every other Japanese character.
To be fair, Other M was crappy on a bunch of different levels.
But I must admit: It never crossed my mind to have Ms. Pac-Man be the subject of this picture. What a world.
"...to be fair, Other M was crappy on a bunch of different levels."
I... sold it before I completed it.
I can't blame you. Unbelievable as it my sound, the ending was the crusty icing on a very rancid cake. Now join me in a prayer that Nintendo gives Metroid to somebody besides Team Ninja.
Woooah pacman never more cool 8DDDD great job!
We'll just put the Hide on those.
I really like this, even though it took me a while to figure out what he was doing with his left arm.
What make ya think he's naked?
You know what, I can't remember what I was thinking when I wrote that.
But I guess: If he's in the zero suit then he is one degree less dressed than he was to begin with, so that means taking off the big red boots and gloves and THAT means..he's naked!
He is Being Sassy with it!
He kinda looks more like Megaman.
I noticed that too. Maybe a portrait of Mega-Pac is on the horizon.

There is indeed no denying of the fact that India is blessed with the best postal mailing system. Keeping the function simple, the essential role of postal mailing is divided into four valid parts- i.e. to collect, process, transmit, and deliver the mails to the predestine location. Postal system takes the help of pin code and postal code communication to fulfill the basic job of mail delivery. For that matter, if you are looking for a code, then even that code will have several layers (for instance pin code of District Medinipur, West Bengal). But more than that, the first and foremost job of the postal department is to classify the different type of content received in the department. The essential nature of message or postal content can be divided into various types. Let’s unravel some on the most distinctive features and facts about the mailing system.
3. India has about 579598 letter boxes and 154979 post offices all across the country. The postal department of India (that check pin code of District Medinipur, West Bengal) processes the entire mail system with the aid of 390 major post offices in India, situated all across the nation. Powering the entire system, India also has 89 national speed post hub that conveys the mail delivery system through the means of road, railway and airlines.

The snowy weather had lifted slightly in time for the Sunday session and the last chance for the age 14 and under swimmers to make their mark on this years Hampshire ASA County Swimming Championships. Rushmoor Royals attacked the last two sessions with even more passion than ever taking trebling the number of gold medals for the weekend compared to those taken on the Saturday.
As will be seen below, there were just far too many medals awarded and personal best times set in order to name check everyone so instead we shall just focus on the new Hampshire County Champions. First up in the morning in the Boys age 12 200m Freestyle even was Theo M who had already won a string of silver medals and again was up against his arch rival from Jersey. In what was probably one of the closest fought battles of the weekend it came down to just 0.25 seconds to split the two of them with Theo taking home his first individual gold of the Championships. This performance must have given Theo the confidence boost he needed as he went on to take another two titles in the 200m Butterfly and the 100m Freestyle events. Poppy E then completed the clean sweep of the Breaststroke events in a dominant performance with team mate Francesca P also taking more titles of the second day in the 200m Individual Medley and 200m BackStroke events.
In the older age groups Rosie R showed everyone that she is not just a freestyler by taking the title in the 200m Individual Medley followed by further gold medals in the 100m Butterfly and 100m Breaststroke events (as well of course, the 50m freestyle) to take a total of six individual titles during the Championships! Finally, Ella S left it to the very last session to battle harder than ever to win her first age 14 County Championship in the 200m BackStroke after taking a further 12 (twelve!) silver and bronze individual medals across the two weekends. The excitement in the stands was incredible as she finally nailed that long awaited gold medal.
This left the club as a whole with the following medal totals after the second weekend of competition with the final weekend to follow back at the Portsmouth Mountbatten Centre for the 15 years and over swimmers next weekend.

as will be seen below, there were just far too many medals awarded and personal best times set in order to name check everyone so instead we shall just focus on the new hampshire county champions. first up in the morning in the boys age 12 200m freestyle even was theo m who had already won a string of silver medals and again was up against his arch rival from jersey. in what was probably one of the closest fought battles of the weekend it came down to just 0.25 seconds to split the two of them with theo taking home his first individual gold of the championships. this performance must have given theo the confidence boost he needed as he went on to take another two titles in the 200m butterfly and the 100m freestyle events. poppy e then completed the clean sweep of the breaststroke events in a dominant performance with team mate francesca p also taking more titles of the second day in the 200m individual medley and 200m backstroke events.
in the older age groups rosie r showed everyone that she is not just a freestyler by taking the title in the 200m individual medley followed by further gold medals in the 100m butterfly and 100m breaststroke events (as well of course, the 50m freestyle) to take a total of six individual titles during the championships! finally, ella s left it to the very last session to battle harder than ever to win her first age 14 county championship in the 200m backstroke after taking a further 12 (twelve!) silver and bronze individual medals across the two weekends. the excitement in the stands was incredible as she finally nailed that long awaited gold medal.
this left the club as a whole with the following medal totals after the second weekend of competition with the final weekend to follow back at the portsmouth mountbatten centre for the 15 years and over swimmers next weekend.

My services are absolutely private and confidential, so I can’t disclose actual stories of clients’ lives. The examples below represent a few of the varied life situations and circumstances that bring people to my office. The details vary, but our very human struggles have many similarities.
It’s hard for all of us to step outside our comfort zone and look at issues from a new perspective – that’s why it’s sometimes important to have help.
I have been depressed for so long I don’t even remember feeling happy.
I feel worthless. I am a lost cause. I am broken.
I thought I was over my depression but it has returned with a vengeance.
I feel people see me as stupid and boring, so I just don’t say anything.
I’m afraid to get on an airplane. I panic when I have to drive on the freeway or over bridges.
I can’t stop my terrible thoughts, and I am embarrassed to talk about them.
Worry is my middle name.
I think we have fallen out of love. How can we get the excitement back?
My relationship has ended and I am so lonely.
I wish I could meet somebody, but dating is hard and I always choose the wrong person.
I don’t like my job, but I don’t know how to make a change.
I’m about to retire, and I need to figure out what’s next.
I’m all alone now and my moods are up and down.
I am in pain. The doctors just hand me pills that mess up my mind.
I have cancer and I don’t know how I will manage.
I worry about what will become of me if I get sick.
My partner and I fight all the time about the children. And the kids? Where to start?
Being a parent is so difficult; I can’t wait for them to grow up.
How am I going to cope when my children leave home?

Very tourist like, which I was one to be fair, but I had to include some pictures with me in front of the Eiffel Tower. We're halfway through the Paris posts and I wish I had more time to spend there. It was really nice to be able to explore a new city and I'm very appreciative of my opportunities. I really do believe traveling is one of the best ways of enjoying life. It's a personal preference and not everyone agrees, but that's the beauty of us all being unique individuals.
Im Juni fahre ich auch endlich wieder hin :) Tolle Stadt und wunderbare Bilder!!
Danke Vicky! Wünsche dir viel Spass für Juni, bin sicher es wird traumhaft sein.
Bin total einverstanden, es ist eine sehr schöne Stadt.

The District Attorney’s contest is one of the most anticipated matchups on the Dallas County Ballot. Republican nominee Susan Hawk is trying to unseat two-term District Attorney Craig Watkins.
Watkins was inaugurated in January of 2007. He was the first African-American in Texas elected to the position. He touts a 99.4 percent felony conviction rate and is most known for his partnership with the Innocence Project of Texas.
Despite widespread recognition for the success of the Innocence Project, Hawk has encouraged voters to look beyond this one accomplishment.
On the other side, Hawk is a former felony prosecutor and has been a criminal court judge for the past two decades. Throughout her campaign, she has continually touted Watkins as inexperienced.
Nevertheless, Hawk continues to claim that Watkins has never walked into a courtroom and tried a case. She emphasizes the fact that she has tried more than 150 jury trials with a 98 percent conviction rate. Chair of the Dallas County Democratic Party Darlene Ewing said the District Attorneys job is not to be a trial lawyer. The D.A.’s job is to be an administrator and work in a management position.
Hawk isn’t the only candidate getting heated. Watkins called his opponent a “desperate politician.” He is likely referring to the fact that Hawk has run for office as both a Republican and a Democrat.
“It’s going to be hard to convince Democrats to support her because she used to be a Democrat and she turned Republican and that sort of thing is not appealing to base voters in Dallas county,” Jeffers said.
The candidates met face-to-face in two separate televised events. In their first TV matchup, Hawk criticized Watkins for his use of forfeiture funds. She was referring to an instance in 2013 when Watkins used money from this fund to settle a car accident he caused.
“They [forfeiture funds] are there to be used for law enforcement purposes only, not Mr. Watkins’ slush fund,” Hawk said.
Hawk launched a web campaign called “#firecraig.” The web page is titled, “The Craig Watkins Record: Investigations, controversy and abuse of power” and accuses Watkins of a variety of things from abusing public funds to renting a house to a drug dealer.
Hawk’s campaign has raised significantly more money than Watkins. She has used the money to fund her web campaign as well as launch a bigger television media campaign and billboards purporting similar messages. Dallas County Democrats say this is nothing to be concerned about.
The candidates second televised meeting turned ugly when Hawk accused Watkins of drinking before a public forum on crimes against women and children. As they left the event Hawk muttered to Watkins, “have another cocktail.” She later apologized for this remark.
Things seem to be settling down as the race enters it’s final weekend. Jeffers says it will all come down to voter turnout. In order to win, Hawk has to find a way to get Republicans to vote the straight ticket while Watkins must make sure his base gets out to vote.
Overall, Watkins is the chosen favorite in the race. If he is elected, it will be his third victory in a row. The polls open at 7 a.m. on November 4.

Ostrow alumna and Board of Councilors member Carol Gomez Summerhays DDS ’78 has earned a prestigious 2018 Alumni Merit Award from the USC Alumni Association for her longtime contributions to both the university community as well as the dental profession.
The distinction, which has been previously awarded to such USC luminaries at Neil Armstrong, Frank Gehry, John Wayne and Louis Zamperini, is meant to recognize distinguished members of the Trojan family for their personal and professional achievements and dedication and loyal service to USC.
Summerhays graduated from the USC dental school in 1978, having served in various student leadership positions. During her studies, she earned both the Mosby Scholarship for Academic Excellence and the Alpha Tau Epsilon Honor Dental Fraternity Leadership Award.
After graduation, Summerhays, who had attended dental school on an Armed Forces Health Professions Scholarship, was named a Lieutenant in the United States Naval Reserve — a position she held until 1982, when she opened her private practice in San Diego, Calif.
Summerhays has been a member of Ostrow’s Board of Councilors since 2010 and a member of the Friends of Dentistry alumni support group since 2008. She has also endowed two scholarships at Ostrow.
Earlier this year, Summerhays was recognized with a 2017 Ellis Island Medal of Honor for her exceptional service to our nation. Past recipients of this prestigious award have included six past U.S. presidents, civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks and first female presidential candidate representing a major political party Hillary Clinton.
Summerhays will officially receive the Alumni Merit Award at the 85th annual USC Alumni Awards, taking place on April 28 in Downtown Los Angeles.
