There has been quite a bit of talk in the last day or so about Jayson Werth moving to center field, with Bryce Harper filling his right field spot. This isn’t the first time we’ve contemplated this – when Werth was first signed a year ago, many people brought up the very same scenario. So why the buzz again? Well there are really two reasons. The first is that Rizzo has said Werth could play there if they don’t find someone. The second is that Davey Johnson has hinted that Harper may play well enough in the spring to convince management not to send him to the minors. So let’s take this in two parts – should it happen and will it happen. Should It Happen? The possibility of Werth in CF isn’t that far fetched. He’s done it before, and he has pretty good range. According to statistics like UZR, RF and Rtot, he’s been a great RF for most of his career. His time at CF has also been very good. The last few years, though, haven’t been as impressive. Although still pretty good in RF, his CF numbers are mixed at best with range, but point to poor overall value. To me, the sample size is so small, it’s hard to really get a handle on how he’d play out there full time. I don’t think he’d be the worst guy in the league out there, but he isn’t a gold glover either. With the bat, however, he looks pretty good at CF. Among the 16 NL center fielders with 350+ PAs, Werth’s .716 OPS from last year ranks him 11th. But after the all star break, his OPS was .770, moving him to 6th place. If last year in general was down, and he gets it up to his career number of .824, it would rank him 3rd. He won’t be as bad as he was last year with the bat, and depending on how much he recovers, he could add some real value as a CF, as he could be one of the best in baseball. Will It Happen? Whether or not Rizzo and company actually allows it to happen is another story entirely. I believe this is alot of “just in case” talk, because they don’t see a free agent CF out there and have to make trades. It’s important for them not to look desperate, or the trade price may be too high. But I don’t see Bryce Harper starting on this team in April, even if he does well in the spring. Unless he hits over .400, it’s going to be down to AA or AAA for him. As for Werth himself, I don’t think Rizzo likes the idea at all. He has emphasized defense over and over, and with that, he has especially talked about up-the-middle defense. There isn’t any way that he wants to put Werth out there – especially not with a LF in Morse who isn’t a particularly great fielder, and a potential RF who has played limited time in the outfield and is still learning how to play out there. Rizzo wants a real CF, and I think he’d be willing to sacrifice some hitting ability for defense. Not Rick Ankiel level sacrifice, but some sacrifice.

Aside from the relevant and updated contents we also have video newsflash on each newsletter that comes out. Here are samples of our video newsflash TRY IT FOR 30 DAYS FOR JUST $1 Email Yourself Five Past Therapy Newsletter Issues And Decide For Yourself. A DONE-FOR-YOU NEWSLETTER IS SENT LIKE CLOCKWORK, TWICE A MONTH, TO YOUR PATIENTS AND REFERRAL SOURCES BY EMAIL, MAIL AND FAX. YOU DON'T LIFT A FINGER. The Therapy Newsletter is a 21st century marketing solution for today’s busy private practice. Each month, Therapy Newsletter automatically delivers two content rich newsletters to your patients without you having to write a single word. The result – more new patients, increased credibility with doctors and qualified referrals from newsletter readers. No other service comes remotely close in terms of price, benefits and customer service. DELIVERS BEAUTIFUL, PRINTED, CONTENT RICH NEWSLETTERS TO PATIENTS AND PHYSICIANS IN YOUR COMMUNITY TWICE A MONTH. This system was built by private practice owners who understand that we don’t have much time to spend on marketing. That’s why we built a fully customizable, done-for-you newsletter technology guarantees to resolve your marketing problems once and for all. You can sit back and relax because the content is generated by a team of licensed physical therapists who go to work for you every two weeks, keeping you in front of and in the minds of patients and doctors. Let’s face it. You don’t have the time to write bi-weekly newsletters filled with content and a ‘call to action’ for patients, since you’re busy running your practice. Who wants to spend several hours each day creating fresh content, writing articles, and formatting newsletters? That’s why the creator of the Therapy Newsletter, Nitin Chhoda PT, DPT, a private practice owner, developed this time saving technology to help you grow your clinic. Let Therapy Newsletter deliver two fresh, content rich newsletters and deliver them in multiple formats (email, video, print and fax) to your patients and doctors each month on your behalf – all on autopilot. “This has definitely helped with my “to-do” list, from starting a publication to developing ideas about marketing for direct access. The newsletter service runs smoothly, features a great deal of customization, and provides me with a growing bank of marketing materials – a fabulous deal for the money! Many thanks” – Shannon Murphy PT “The Therapy Newsletter staff goes above and beyond. Therapy Newsletter is a cutting edge product with many capabilities to help me get more patients, market my practice and establish myself as an expert. Thank you for a great product for the physical therapy community.” – Dr. Jake Berman, PT, DPT “This is a great product and will be of tremendous benefit to private practice owners trying to market their practices. It is an absolutely amazing marketing powerhouse giving the user far greater flexibility than anything I have seen on the market.” – Michael Jones PT STIMULATE PATIENT REFERRALS WITH THE BUILT IN ‘REFER A FRIEND’ TECHNOLOGY FOR PATIENTS AND ‘ONE CLICK’ UNLIMITED FAXING TO PHYSICIANS. Every single newsletter is professionally crafted and specifically engineered to promote internal referrals. The built-in ‘refer a friend’ feature in each newsletter dramatically stimulates exponential, viral growth of your brand. Transmit the newsletter to hundreds of doctors with the push of a button using the integrated fax capability, allowing you to flood your community with your message and content. COMPLETE CUSTOMIZATION OF EVERY ELEMENT OF YOUR PROFESSIONAL CRAFTED PRINT NEWSLETTER. If you thought this was an email only program, think again! Your newsletter is available as a beautiful, completely customizable word document twice a month, giving you the ability to instantly customize and print high quality color or black and white newsletters that can be distributed to patients, physicians and local businesses, further enhancing your reputation as an expert. The best way to distribute the newsletter is to follow the ‘distribution trifecta’. We provide you with an automated emailed version, a printer friendly version (which you can easily print in your office) and a ready-to-fax PDF version that can be faxed to hundreds of doctors with the click of a button. It’s never been easier to market your practice. Therapy Newsletter keeps your message ‘top of mind’, resulting in more referrals from patients, a boost in recognition from doctors and instant celebrity status in your community. AUTOMATICALLY CAPTURE EMAILS FROM WEBSITE VISITORS WITH DONE-FOR-YOU 'PROSPECT STIMULATORS'. When it comes to marketing your private practice, the best way to communicate with your patients is with the use of email. If you don’t have a list of emails, don’t worry because we teach you TWO methods to build your email list. In fact, patients will be lining up to give you their emails when you implement any of our proprietary techniques. We make it fast and simple for you to build your email list. You get several, done-for-you “patient stimulator” eBooks (which you can customize and re-use in any way you like including print and online distribution) on several topics ranging from low back pain to shoulder pain and weight loss. TWO SIMPLE AND EASY WAYS TO GROW YOUR PATIENT EMAIL LIST. You collect patient’s emails in one of two ways. 1. A prospect comes to your website and enters their name and email address in a form on your site. Once they enter that information, the data is automatically stored in your Therapy Newsletter account and they start getting your newsletters twice a month (every patient has the option to unsubscribe from your newsletter at any time). The patient automatically gets the FREE eBooks on various subjects like low back pain, secrets to good posture, how to beat arthritis, shoulder pain, weight loss and much more. Therapy Newsletter gives you ready-to-use lead generation ‘hooks’ that are completely customizable and serve as ‘lead generators’ for your clinic. This allows you to build your email list. You can also send them email sequences (new patients get a welcome sequence, discharged patients get a ‘thank you’ sequence, patients who miss appointments get reminder sequences and so on). You can also build trust and recognition with your patients by sending them automated birthday greetings. 2. Simply patients and use our proprietary script. “We have great news for you. We are giving away FREE eBooks on …. (choose from a variety of eBooks we provide you once you become a member and make those available to your patients) and these books are delivered digitally since we want to save on the cost of printing and shipping. What is your email so we know where to send the books? That’s it. This script works like a charm every time you use it. When you use this script by phone, in person or with a letter, over 90% of your patients will gladly give you their email address. Once you add this email address to Therapy Newsletter, the technology does the rest. Tip: It’s a good idea to ask patient’s to provide their email address on the patient intake form. Don’t make it an optional field – make it a required field. In case they ask why it’s required, let them know they will be getting FREE eBooks and a FREE subscription to your emailed newsletter, in addition to other important notifications. The technology allows them to opt out at any time. COMPLETELY AUTOMATIC, NO TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE, NO WEBSITE REQUIRED. Even if you don’t have a website or a ‘list’ of emails, Therapy Newsletter can work as your one-stop communication system to stay in touch with patients, build trust and loyalty, condition patients to become more compliant and transform them into ‘human billboards’ for your clinic. In 20 minutes or less, we can have you up and running and completely automate your referral generation efforts. CONTENT REPURPOSING – CURRENT MEMBERS CAN RE-USE THE CONTENT ON WEBSITES/NEWSPAPER COLUMNS/PATIENT HANDOUTS SINCE THEY OWN THE COPYRIGHT TO THE CONTENT. If you were to hire someone to write, edit, deliver the newsletter in multiple formats (email, video, print, fax), the cost could run into HUNDREDS of dollars each month, not to mention the lack of consistency and quality in the writing, formatting and distribution. Fortunately, you don’t have to bother with any of this, because we take care of this for you. Each month, professional writers create and deliver the content to you not once, but twice. Just login to your account, access the content and make as many changes as you like. You can edit every single component of the newsletter (logo, template, contact information and content). It’s like having your own, in-house team to write, edit, format and distribute your newsletter twice a month. How much would you pay for a service like this that can literally save you hundreds of dollars each month? EXCLUSIVE LICENSE TO EDIT ANY PICTURE, LOGO AND EVERY SINGLE WORD ON YOUR EBOOKS AND NEWSLETTERS, WITH 7 DIFFERENT TEMPLATES AND UNLIMITED COLOR COMBINATIONS. Take advantage of our click-and-edit technology and enjoy complete creative control. Give your newsletter your personal look and feel with custom headers, footers, colors, and even format with our advanced editor. Easily add content, edit content, or remove any part of the newsletter to reflect your specific treatment philosophy. It gets much better. BLOCK YOUR COMPETITORS FROM MARKETING TO YOUR PATIENTS WITH EMAIL EXCLUSIVITY. We don’t allow your subscribers to receive newsletter from our system, which gives you the ability to exclusively market to your patients. This unique feature is called ‘Email Exclusivity.’ When a lead or prospects opts into your newsletter system they can’t be added to another Therapy Newsletter account with the same email address. Therefore, you enjoy an email exclusive license to the Therapy Newsletter, which means your competitor will not be allowed to use the same technology to market to doctors and patients in your area. A patient who is already on your email list will never get another email from another Therapy Newsletter client.

Album review by KevW If you happen to share a love of bubblegum pop, jangly guitar bands, shoegaze and indie, you're likely to get excited by the same bands as Strawberry Whiplash. On this debut album the Scots have rifled through your record collection, cherry-picked the best bits, discarded the chaff and distilled it all into a handy pocket-sized package. 'Hits In The Car' is a thrilling whistle stop joyride through your favourite genres and your most treasured bands, executed in a way that renders the skip button obsolete. It's all very well making records that sound like your heroes, but the general outcome is a watered down version that serves as little more than a reminder of how great the source material was, but not always, and not in this instance. To throw in a few names for comparison you could say that 'Now I Know It's You' lifts its out-of-focus, drifting backing from The Radio Dept., 'You Make Me Shine' is basically a reworking of The Jesus & Mary Chain's 'Sometimes Always' and you won't get to the end of the album without thinking of The Primitives or Lush. You could mention a dozen other indiepop luminaries past and present but the winning formula here is the lack of padding that may be the result of the record's lengthy creation. This sounds like a greatest hits, not a debut. Only a brace of songs break the three minute mark. There isn't time to get bored and you couldn't if you tried; each song sparkles briefly, fading away just soon enough to leave you wanting more. Strawberry Whiplash's magpie approach to making music seems down to a genuine passion for recreating the sounds they love rather than a lack of ideas. In fact you couldn't possibly claim that this album is entirely bereft of originality, as while the sounds may be borrowed, it's the band's own melodies that are the life-blood of these songs. From The Shangri-Las to Blondie to The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, the combination of classic sounding tunes, glistening-yet-restrained production and the knack of knowing when enough is enough have thrown up some shining examples of pop sensibility combined with a fundamental understanding of what pop music is all about. If any of your record collection has been mentioned above then 'Hits In The Car' is an essential purchase.

Over the holidays I discovered that I am was a sock torturer. M.J. broke the news to me in bed by reading aloud from a book I’d given him for Christmas called The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing by “tidying consultant” Marie Kondo. “This lady says to ‘never, ever ball up your socks,’” he said, glancing at me sideways as I dozed off over a copy of Wild. “They should be resting right now and yours are doing anything but.” The book has already sold 2 million copies in Japan and Europe so perhaps you’ve picked up your own copy and have already been admonished by Ms. Kondo to stop folding your socks into misshapen “potato-like lumps.” If so, you’ve read how your socks “take a brutal beating in their daily work, trapped between your foot and your shoe, enduring pressure and friction to protect your precious feet.” You probably already knew that the time they spend in your drawer is “their only chance to rest,” and that if you ball them up, they are in a constant state of tension when they should be “on holiday.” Chastened, I decided to follow Kondo’s advice and take all my socks out of my sock drawer, discard the ones that no longer “sparked joy” and then carefully fold the rest before standing them on end in the drawer. If you dare, look closely at my sock drawer full of misshapen sock balls in the Before photo above. Then take a gander at the neatly folded socks in this After shot. After discarding nine joyless pairs (while thanking them for their years of dedicated service), I was left with 35 pairs of colored socks and 9 pairs of white sport socks. As Kondo predicted, my newly folded socks take up half the space and are all easily visible. Everyone/thing involved is breathing easier. Kondo promises that once sorted and organized, your clothing will stay tidy with minimal effort. Is her approach to clutter life-changing? We’ll see. But for now at least, finding a pair of socks in the morning is pretty magical. Does January find you trying new organization techniques? If so, what and how?

Impact of process water on the surface properties of magnetite as measured by the zeta potential and through leaching experiments Minerals & Metallurgical Processing , 2012, Vol. 29, No. 4, pp. 199-206 Westerstrand, M.; Fredriksson, A.; Holmgren, A.; Öhlander, B. The processes involved in the concentration of magnetite ore with process water as the aqueous medium can have a strong influence on the surface properties of the magnetite particles. In this study, different leaching methods, as well as zeta potential measurements, were used to examine the major easily accessible ions on the particle surfaces and their effect on the surface charge. The results show that the enrichment of elements on the surface of the particles appears early in the refinement process. Ca was enriched up to 15 times and Si up to 50 times compared to what pore water alone would have given. The leaching experiments also showed that the addition of water glass increased the surface enrichment of Si and that the collector might hinder desorption of Ca. An alkali leaching method was evaluated, which showed that Si was much more enriched than S and Cl. Zeta potential measurements on synthetic magnetite particles showed that process water resulted in zeta potentials different from the potentials measured for these particles in aqueous calcium and silicate solutions. Therefore, it is important to consider the complexity of the process water when making predictions about the properties of the particle surfaces in the final magnetite concentrate, which most studies do not. Zeta potential measurements were also used to rule out a strong influence from organic matter in the process water on the magnetite zeta potential.

If you’re like me, keeping up with my “social” life is getting out of control. My RSS feeds are unwieldy, the good stuff that I read, watch and listen to on the Web is getting buried deep in my bookmarks, my status updates are neglected, and I’ve got a five page spreadsheet of logins and passwords (it’s true!). I know I’m not alone, because each week new services and tools launch promising to provide sanity to all the noise. To some extent I’ve been able to adopt those that are worthwhile and weed out those that fall short. Experimenting takes time. To save you time, I decided to share a few life savers that I’ve integrated into my online life. They are making my and hopefully they will help you too.Here are 10 tools that I use frequently or recommend. They’re all FREE! 1. OpenID – it’s a must if you’re like me and want to explore new networks or shop online with the least effort. It’s free and it’s an easy way to use a single digital identity across the Internet. With one OpenID I can login to all my favorite websites and forget about the spreadsheet. More retailers are adopting OpenID to simplify customer registration and login. Google, MySpace, Yahoo!, they all accept OpenId. OpenID.net is a non-profit and the technology is non-proprietary so there are several openid providers to choose from. Now that you know about it, you’ll see it more often. Do yourself a favor and get one. Browsers and Dashboards and Aggregators. 2. Firefox browser. Both Mac and PC operating systems support Firefox. Not only is it the most friendly browser I’ve used, it’s fast, and the available add-ons (extensions) are incomparable. I’ll go into detail on a few I like later in the post. (Firefox used to be Netscape Mozilla) If you’re a power user and you’re not yet using Firefox, you should at least give it a try. 3. IGoogle – Still my browser home page. Love iGoogle. It keeps me organized. It supports tabbed pages. I currently have two. I have a home page that feeds my favorite blogs, Facebook news stream, newspapers, weather, traffic, dictionary, Wikipedia, etc. iGoogle offers an endless number of other practical widgets that will help you stay organized and informed. (If you use G-mail or chat you can fire that up from iGoogle too.) My second tabbed page on iGoogle is my RSS Reader, organized by categories. I’ve also added TwitterGadget. It is a fully functional Twittter tool. My Feed Reader is beside my TwitterGadget on that page. This layout gives me easy access to stuff that I can Tweet about without ever leaving the page or opening new windows on my browser. Did I mention that iGoogle has themes for your home page. I’ve tried them all but keep going back to the puppies theme. A smile is free. 4. Feedly. is a dashboard and an aggregator that makes a great start page. And although I use iGoogle for my home page and not Feedly, I like Feedly, a lot and tend to go to it at least once a day. I love the sleek design and user experience of Feedly. It takes your favorite content and turns it into a magazine-like start page. It’s an easy way to track or share news. It interfaces with iGoogle so everything you bookmark, feed, add or grab on iGoogle is poured into the Feedly template. It also has a Twitter tool. Feedly has a boat load of settings that you can play around with to customize your experience. Feedly’s suggestions for additional content based on my feed never fails to steer me to great sites – with no search effort on my part. Feedly has a Firefox extension that finds shareable content on the page you’re browsing and pops up to give you an effortless option to share on FriendFeed, Twitter, email, and more. It’s seamless way to keep fresh content circulating and helps you start conversations. 5. Flock. is the social networker’s browser. It’s powered by Mozilla, that non-profit organization that keeps Firefox burning. What’s not to like. Features of Flock include a people sidebar that brings in feeds from favorite social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Bebo, MySpace. It has a media Bar, photo uploader that interfaces with Flickr and other photo services, feed reader, bookmarking. I like Flock and have used it as my primary browser in the past, but haven’t yet adopted it as my home. It’s worth exploring if you’re well-connected in the social Web, post a lot, and want to be everywhere all the time. 6. Yoono. This is a new and nifty Firefox extension (add-on) that sits in the sidebar and helps you simplify your online social conversations. With Yoono I connect to Facebook, Twitter, AIM, and FriendFeed all in one place. (Doesn’t yet support Linkedin, but you can always add your Twitter feed to LI) One caveat, it does take up some valuable browser real estate when exapnded. I find it a little bulky especially when I’m on a small lap top screen. But no worries, with one click I can collapse or expand it. When expanded, no matter what Web page I’m on, I can easily update my status across one or all of my networks. I can quickly skim what’s going on in each of my networks or search content and people. Then, there’s a nifty little share-this button. Say I’m on a news site and there’s an industry article that I want to share with one or all of my networks. To get the conversation started, all I do is click the share button and it grabs the page I’m on, adds it to my status update, I add my 2 cents, select networks to post to and voila, it’s that easy. Options allow you to customize how each network acts in your side bar. It even lets me set pop-up alerts for a Twitter mention or a direct message when my side bar is collapsed. Yoono is my new number one time saving tool. 7. Evernote This little application packs a lot of power and I love it. I browse about a hundred Web pages a day and glean thousands of useful snippets that inform my practice, my blog posts, and my “real” life. Without Evernote, I would be lost. Evernote allows you to clip parts of a Web page (includes the source link) or the whole Web page. You can organize by categories using key words or phrases and make additional notes. It’s my brain on steroids. If I could have only one application this would be it. It has a Firefox add-on and a mobile application that includes voice note, text note, photo and video notes. It syncs between your Evernote account on the Web, your computer and your mobile device so you always have what you need anywhere. I’ve recorded directions to someone’s house and played the note back while I was driving there. I’ve recorded the name of a particular sunscreen recommended to me during a tennis match and several days later at the CVS when my brain failed me, my Evernote saved me. I’ve recorded my deep thoughts while walking the dogs, ideas for new blog posts and reminders for my next shopping trip. Although the new iPhone update now has voice notes, (Blackberry has it too) Evernote’s voice notes are organized along side of the great stuff you snip from the Web so all your information is stored in the same place. It’s a beautiful thing. 8. Delicious. The industry standard of bookmarking applications. Delicious is more than just your bookmarks, it’s a database of everyone’s bookmarks. A great place to search for trending topics and popular resources. It’s a researcher’s gold mine. You can access your bookmarks from any computer. You can add a Delicious feed to your blog. Most news sites and blogs have a share-this-to-Delicious gadget. The only caveat to Delicious is that while the inherent purpose of delicious is sharing, be careful not to share everything. For example, an associate may be bookmarking sites that pertain to research on a case and without checking the do-not-share box they are inadvertantly leaving bread crumbs of their tracks for the opposition to follow. Always remember to check the “do not share” box when using Delicious for sensitive research projects or for anything you don’t want the public to know you’re reading. 9. VodPod. This handy little Firefox add-on gives me one click access to share my favorite videos with others or post video to my WordPress blog. It’s like Flickr for video. You can publish, collect or browse categories to find what others have posted. I know there are tons of other services out there that do this, I just think this one is the simplest. I like the Firefox add-on and it makes my life easier. 10. Zemanta This is a new tool that I’ve just started using and it has not disappointed. Zemanta is compatible with most popular blog platforms and email handlers and it gives me simple point and click enrichment for my blog posts (and emails). In real-time, while I type, Zemanta suggests content, tags, links, photos, images, and related articles from sources such as Wikipedia, YouTube, Amazon, IMDb, Crunchbase, Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, and more. The relevant link and image prompts are a real time saver. Using Zemanta can double your viral content and enable carefree linking. You get quality links in half the time. I expect to see more from Zemanta in the near future. Web 3.0 feels closer because of Zemanta. #11 Bonus. Search. In a nutshell Google Squared is a search tool that helps you quickly build a collection of facts from the Web for any topic you specify. Bing is a search [decision] engine that finds and organizes the answers you need so you can make faster, more informed decisions. Wolfram/Alpha is a computational knowledge engine that draws on multiple sources to answer user queries directly. Conspicuously missing from these tools is TweetDeck. I like TweetDeck and think it’s the best of breed for a pure Twitter management tool, however, Yoono, Flock, Feedly and iGoogle’s TwitterGadget all do such a good job and replace my need for special Twitter tools – except the Tweetie application for the iPhone. Time management is taking on a new face in the information age of the social Web. I hope these suggestions have cut through with some practical steps to take. If you have any can’t miss, mission critical tools that you’d like to suggest, I hope you’ll share with us. Meanwhile, here is some related content that my new BFF, Zemanta, suggested for the readers of this blog post. How cool is that!

10 months ago Preparing financially is one of the most important parts of moving to a senior retirement community. Before you go and tour a new residence, you need to make sure you have reviewed your financial situation. Asking for help and assistance from your family members and/or Accountant is always a good idea when budgeting your finances. 1.Organize your finances Organization is the key to success. Having a system to track your finances and budget is necessary. This way you can track how much you spend on a weekly or monthly basis and how much you can save. Having organization planning apps such as “You Need A Budget” can be a great tool and a great resource to monitor all your expenses. However, being tech savvy can sometimes be a challenge. One of the easiest technology investments is a simple spreadsheet in excel. It is the easiest way to track your budget. For those who prefer the old school method of using a pen and paper, investing in a good financial planner or organization diarie is a great idea. These planners and diaries have different columns that can be filled and used whenever needed. 2. Budget closely and track expenses The most important foundation is to budget closely and make a note of everything money is being spent on even if it’s an unexpected expense. The key is to be realistic with your budget and plan it carefully. Before the month starts, make a budget plan and write all the essentials that are needed by you and how much is spent on them. And then write any extra expenses that you may incur in the entire month. Once you have made a budget, now limit your expenses to see how much you can save in a month. Monitoring your budget before moving into a retirement home is essential as a failure to do so can lead to unexpected expenses exceeding your set budget. 3. Rate changes Always plan for rate changes. Always make sure to make a note of the rate changes that may happen over time. If you buy a toothbrush regularly for $7.99 and once found it on sale for $6.99, write that down in your savings and make a note of the rate changes that can happen with this product. Make a list of items that can be expensive in the near future such as medical care and medications. Another important thing to look at is how the cost of assistance can change over time. It is hard to predict but with time more assistance may be needed to carry out tasks and therefore an increased amount may be needed. 4. Examine your previous expenses While you are budgeting your expenses it may be possible that you have only recorded costs for this month. However the process of planning your finances is not this easy, it needs to be done over time. Make sure to start budgeting and listing down expenses 6 months prior to your moving plans. This way you can examine all your previous expenses along with your current ones to put together an accurate budget. Also, while budgeting for 6 months you will be able to notice patterns that you may have otherwise missed. 5. Emergency funds Having emergency funds is one of the most important needs when budgeting your finances. You need to see how much you have in your savings, how much you receive from your pensions or any other government benefits and if any of your family members would assist you in the event of an emergency. Planning this is essential, because although your budgeting may be enough for your monthly expenses it may not be enough for an emergency, which makes having a plan largely beneficial. 6. Set goals for the future It is always essential to set goals for the future when you make the decision to move to a senior living residence. It is good to compile a list of expenses that you would be needing money for. However, the fees paid to a retirement home usually covers nursing, meal plans, medical care assistance, housekeeping and laundry. 10 months ago After a certain age you might be thinking of moving in with your children because you might be feeling lonely and isolated at home and living with your children may sound like the best plan. Thinking of independent living may mean living alone for you which is wrong. However, living dependently is different and much better than you can think. In today’s blog by Wiarton Retirement Residence, we have listed five reasons as to why independent living does not mean living alone. 1. You can meet the same kind of people At an independent living home you get to meet new people at all times and most of them have the same problems as you have. The reason that they might have moved to independent living may be the same as yours. They might be feeling lonely too or would not have been able to take care of themselves. Their health issues would be the same as yours such as forgetting the laundry in the machine or not remembering to lock the doors. When at an independent living home, you can have more people around that you can relate to. You would have more things in common with the people at independent senior living, therefore having more to talk about. Also, in an independent senior living home you have easy access to assistance that you would not have at home on your own. 2. Group activities At an independent living home various group activities are carried out throughout the week. Board games are everyone’s best friend and the best way to beat boredom. Moreover, many activities are hosted by the community such as ice-cream parlour days, carnivals, themed dinners and all special holidays are celebrated. We at Wiarton Retirement Residence know that you might feel lonely which is why we host dinners, carnivals and birthdays at all times to make sure no one is bored and that you always have something to look forward to. 3. You have your space and freedom There might be days when you just want your space. At an independent senior living home you have the advantage of having your freedom and space whenever you want. You can sit in your own room and enjoy your favorite book, watch a movie by yourself or video chat with your family. 4. Freedom to socialize Being in your home alone can be depressing and/or isolating. While living with your children can cause you to feel like a burden on them. However, when you live in an independent living community you have the freedom to socialize with everyone and have someone to talk to all the time. You have many opportunities to interact with individuals, whether staff or fellow residents. At Wiarton Retirement Residence we keep a tight knit community. Therefore, making friendly and strong relationships easier. In such a community you do not feel isolated or lonely but instead feel joy and inclusion. 5. Safe during COVID-19 Many families have been scared and have one question in mind; is an independent living community safe for our elders? The answer is yes. All independent living homes such as Wiarton Retirement Residence are equipped with all safety measures. At WRR we have socially distant tables to ensure your safety. Only single occupancy rooms are available so that if anyone is to feel sick they can self-isolate safely and still be provided with all the support and care that they need. All our staff are screened before they come to work and are required to wear a medical mask at all times. We believe your safety is the most important thing. 10 months ago Moving into senior living is a major decision. It requires a great deal of planning and preparation. Before you step into a different chapter, you may have a lot of unanswered questions in mind but here are some answers that will guide your thoughts before moving into retirement living. Here are the top questions that you might have before moving in. 1. Is there a right age to move in? The choice to move into a senior living community is personal, with different factors affecting each decision. If you’re considering a move to a retirement community, we recommend planning ahead and taking the time to think about where you want to live. Although transitioning to a retirement community is an individual experience, the average age in a senior living community is 84. Many senior living communities have residents much younger than that; however, most seniors choose to move in between 75 and 84. Here at Wiarton Retirement Residence admits residents from all ages, be it 50 or 70 because we know every individual has different demands and a different requirement. If you are a younger senior who needs a senior living option, your lifestyle can be suitable for an independent living such as the living style with us 2. Will fitness be a problem? This is an important question to ask when deciding your move to a senior living. Often many senior living communities offer various ways to keep you active and on track with your health. Some may have fitness rooms, a few communities may have pools and some may just encourage a natural way to keep yourself active at all times such as going for a walk. We encourage our residents to walk around the beautiful downtown that is just a few minutes away and explore as much as they can. Walking around can keep them healthier. Moreover, senior living communities hold fitness classes for seniors to ensure their health and wellbeing. Fitness is never a problem when living in a senior living community. Health is always the number one priority for us. 3. Do I need extra help with essentials such as bathing? Knowing your needs is very important and thus, knowing that you may need extra help is a great way to narrow down your choices for your senior living community. You may need help with essentials such as bathing, dressing, toilet needs and much more which is why independent living communities offer a wide range of packages for such extra essentials. For example, we offer options to live at the lower level if you can not climb stairs, and special care can be provided when needed such as a nurse at all times at an extra cost. 4. Would socializing be a problem? We understand that you may be feeling lonely which is why you want to make this new transition in your life. However, when living in a senior living community, socializing is never an obstacle in an independent living community. We all understand that you need to meet new people that you can relate to and thus, it is essential for us to make sure that all our residents are happy which is why activities are organized on a regular basis. With activities happening frequently, it becomes easier for individuals to talk to each other and find out about each other’s interests. There is always an opportunity to learn more during these activities. 5. What location should I choose? All our residents chose our residence because of its beautiful location and affordability. Another question that rises from location is if you will have to move to another location in the community if your needs change. The answer depends on the senior living you choose. Our Residence remains a safe place that is always equipped with all the necessary equipment to handle any emergency and all your health needs so that you can live in your comfort. 6. Will I be provided with meals? Many seniors believe that moving into a senior living will help with their daily chores, especially meal planning. It is hard to make sure that you are eating the right thing to ensure your health. Moreover, many seniors while calculating costs believe that an independent living can be very costly. However, independent living includes many amenities such as meals. All meals are provided to our seniors according to their dietary restrictions and to make sure they are healthy at all times so say goodbye to the long hours spent in front of the stove preparing a meal. Our dining rooms are socially distant and provide healthy meals that are also delicious. Moreover, with the three meals a day, three snacks are provided to the seniors as well with 24 hour access to tea and coffee. 7.Will I have my privacy? All doors are secured at night. There is professional staff in the residence 24 hours a day and they are available to check in on you to ensure your security. As soon as you need them, they are only a phone call away. To protect your privacy and ensure security, we at Wiarton Retirement Residence do not give out your suite or phone number. 8.What utilities are included in the cost? Every residence works differently. However, most of the residences including us at Wiarton Retirement Residence provide the following: - Housekeeping and maintenance - Fitness activities - Group activities - Utilities and home costs - Full time staff dedicated to medical care - Game nights - Field trips - Special diet considerations. If you wish to add any service most of the residences just let our staff know. 11 months ago Downsizing requires special attention and work. This is a special task for seniors. Having a check-list is a necessity while downsizing before moving into your new home at a senior living. For this emotional task, we have compiled important tips for downsizing when moving to senior living. 1. Start early The process of compiling things and downsizing is overwhelming and may take more time than usual. This is why it is essential to start this process earlier than later so that you can give yourself time when you feel swamped by all the emotions. Starting early can give you more time to process the emotions and can help you make better decisions on how the downsizing should work. It will give you a chance to spend time with every item in the household such as old photos, clothes that bring memories or your living space where you have spent all your time. 2. Make a plan In advance, see what days you will have more time, and make those days available for the productive and busier tasks such as emptying the kitchen. Plan in advance of your moving date and create deadlines for yourself so that you can keep track of your time. Make a list of the items that will be needed and the items that will not. Make a list of the things that can be donated or that someone might want. Make a list of the items that you want to take along and make a mind-map as to where you will place them in your new room. 3. Start with non-emotional belongings Starting with emotional belongings can be hard. It can bring back memories which can make the process of downsizing hard and tough. It is easier if you start with items that do not have emotional value to it. First determine if you need it or not, typically most non-emotional items are not needed and can be donated or given away. 4. Visit the new home frequently Planning for your new space is essential so make sure you plan a few visits prior to your move in date. Get dimensions of your new space and see what items will fit where. You do not want to make the mistake of taking items that will not fit. Ask the new senior living community what items you can bring along. Going to your new home will help you visualize where you want to put your items and how they will look. Moreover, it will give you a sense of belongingness to the new place. 5. Make ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ piles only Avoid making ‘maybe’ piles. This will only prolong your process and create a hindrance. Make clear piles and put things into these piles. Make donate, give away and ‘No’ piles everyday. It is easier to let go of things slowly than suddenly all at once. Once you have visited the new home a few times, you will know what items to definitely get rid of such as your cooking utensils. It will definitely be hard to let go of these items but, if you complete the downsizing on your deadline, it will be easier to work through. 6. What is the purpose of every item? This question should be asked before putting any item in the ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ pile. You should know what the purpose was and if you will have that purpose in your senior living community or not. For example the purpose of cooking utensils is to make food, however, you will not be cooking once you have moved in. Thus, there is no need for these items so they can go in the ‘No’ pile. Another way to ask the same question is to ask “does this item bring me joy?”. This question should be asked for the items in the ‘Yes’ pile only to bring a sense of clarity to what item will or will not be needed. 7. Maintain positivity Moving into a new house can quickly become overburden sometimes. Maintaining a positive attitude is important and crucial to the process. Asking a loved one’s help and talking to them regularly can help you remain positive through the process. You need to focus on the new home and how it will bring you joy and new friendships. Think about what will be vital to you in the next 5 years. This makes the process easier because you need peace of mind and comfort in the next 5 years, which will come from moving into a senior living community. 8. Stick to deadlines Lastly, stick to deadlines. This is why starting early is important. Whatever is laid out in the planning, stick to it and work through it. Delaying the process will only create a difficult road ahead for you. 11 months ago When you were young, your parents may have had “the talk” with you. Well, there is a different “talk” to be had when your parents or other aging loved ones appear to need more help with daily living. And this talk can be just as awkward and difficult – maybe more so. No one likes admitting that they can’t do the simple tasks, like laundry or driving or shopping, that they have been doing their entire life. And most never want to leave the home they have lived in and raised a family in. Those thoughts are more than difficult – in fact, they can be frightening. Here are some tips to make the conversation a bit easier. Talk to Siblings First If you have brothers or sisters, be sure you all agree that it’s time to have the senior care discussion. Settle any disagreements before you talk to your loved one. If you can’t agree, SeniorLiving.org suggests you contact a social worker or elder care specialist to help you all resolve your issues. A united front is important to soothe your loved one’s objections. Have the Talk Sooner, Rather Than Later Don’t wait for a medical or other emergency to force you to address the issue. It’s much harder to make good decisions in a moment of crisis. Procrastination is not helpful because you never know when an aging loved one may need help. This also lets the elder be an active part of the discussion. “Take an ‘us’ point of view, we are in this together,” says Maria Hood, director of admissions at United Hebrew of New Rochelle, a continuing care campus in Westchester County, New York. “We are a family. You raised me, now it’s my turn to help you.” If your loved one isn’t ready, don’t push it. Suggest that you revisit the topic on a regular basis – say, every six months – just to check in with them and see if their views have changed. “Approach your loved one with respect, and if the person is not ready, you have to back it off,” Hood says. “Chances are, this won’t be one conversation. It will be several over time. And that’s OK.” Know the Various Senior Living Options There are different senior living options, including an assisted living facility, nursing home and continuing care campus. Your loved one may need minimal assistance at first – maybe a part-time home health aide – but more daily help or even skilled medical care later in life. Be well-versed on what each option can and cannot offer, and which might be best for your loved one. Consider gathering brochures or other marketing materials to show examples in your area that might appeal to them. Focus on the Positives Highlight the positives of a potential move to senior living rather than focusing on any negatives. “Don’t make the conversation about their limitations,” Mastronardi says. “That will only remind someone they were once vital and energetic but now seeing limitations. Those are very difficult things to come to grips with. Make the conversation about possibilities and supportiveness.” In other words, don’t stress what your loved one can’t do anymore: “Mom, you shouldn’t drive. Dad, you can’t climb a ladder anymore.” Instead, present senior living as something that makes their life better. No more shoveling snow. Meals available when you don’t feel like cooking. The security of on-site health care if and when you need it. If they object, be understanding. Remember, no one likes to admit their limitations “It’s important for people to retain autonomy. They have the right to say no,” Hood says. Ask the Experts for Help “When a family member calls me and says, ‘I don’t know anything,’ I say, ‘Of course you don’t. That’s OK. That’s what I’m here for,” Hood says. Call your local elder care facilities and ask for advice. Or turn to national organizations like AARP, the National Council on Aging, SeniorLiving.org, APlaceforMom.com or your loved one’s physicians. “This way, you are not doing it alone. You have experts supporting you through this process,” Hood says 3 years ago COVID-19, also commonly known as the “Novel Coronavirus” hit the world in 2019, leaving everyone uncertain about how the world would operate. It has brought in many changes since it has taken a place in the world. We have to meet our loved ones virtually, we cannot travel, the shopping system has been moved to online, meetings are done in a socially distant manner, and if you live in another country, you probably have not met your loved ones in a year. However, as time progresses, we now know more about the virus. We have been more informed and cautious as to how we can prevent the contraction of the virus. As months have passed, we now know what causes the virus. After the virus has been a part of our lives for more than a year, we now know how to keep everyone safe and what guidelines to follow. What is COVID-19? COVID-19 is a virus caused by a new coronavirus called “SARS-CoV-2”, causing respiratory symptoms such as runny nose, sore throat, headache, fever, dry cough, and fatigue. These are the most common symptoms in an individual. Researchers believe that the virus started from bats however no one is sure of it and no one knows how it spread to the world and what the path was. The transfer of the virus from one human to another human is unfortunately very easy. It can spread through droplets that are generated from a human’s sneeze or cough and it can spread through a touch from a person who has the virus, or a person who has been contracted with the virus and has touched a surface. How should we keep ourselves safe? We understand that remaining calm during a pandemic is not easy. However, being calm is the biggest solution during such times. With the rising cases in every province and city, we all require extra safety measures which we at Wiarton Retirement Residence always make sure to follow.The best way to prevent the spread of COVID-19 virus and to make sure you and your loved ones are safe, is to follow the guidelines that have been recommended. The most basic guidelines provided that should be followed are the following: 1- Always wear a mask when meeting someone or when you are in a public space. The mask should cover your mouth and nose. 2- Wash your hands regularly with soap for 20 seconds especially after touching a surface or after you believe that you may have had contact with anyone with a confirmed or suspected case of COVID-19. If washing is not possible then sanitize your hands. 3- Avoid touching your nose, eyes, mouth, or ears. COVID-19 spreads through these contact points. 4- If you must sneeze or cough, use your elbow and not your hands. 5- Do not go out if it is not necessary. Only essential trips should be done. What is happening at Wiarton Retirement Residence during the pandemic to keep your loved ones safe? For us at Wiarton Retirement Residence our community is very important. Therefore we at Wiarton Retirement Residence follow all rules and regulations to make sure our community and residents are safe at all times while taking heightened precautionary measures. We at Wiarton Retirement Residence abide by all provincial and federal government laws and regulations. These rules and regulations including the following; 1- Our residents are permitted to go out and make their essential trips such as for grocery, medical appointments or to go for a walk. 2- Physical distancing is always implemented. 3- Universal masking rules and regulations are followed. 4- Visitors are screened before coming in, however no visitors are allowed during the province lockdown. 5- Appropriate personal protective equipment is used. 6- Deep cleaning and sanitization is always followed. We encourage virtual meetings only and do not do in-person meetings to ensure the safety of our residents. All our employees are screened on a regular basis and thus, to minimize the risk of COVID-19 there is always bare minimum movement between our employees. Tours are available on an appointment basis, however we at Wiarton Retirement Residence have a virtual tour available now which can be viewed at any now (click here for virtual tour). With this measure you will be at home, safe and can watch the residence. Strict measures are to be taken if there is an outbreak, that is, no one is allowed to come in the residence (non-essential) or go anywhere to ensure the safety of our residents and community, while providing with full assistance to our residents and ensuring that quarantine is safe and comfortable for our residents. However, to date we have been very fortunate as there has been a low volume of cases reported in Grey Bruce Peninsula. Moreover, no cases have been reported at our residence thus making Wiarton Retirement Residence an extremely safe and reliable residence for your loved ones! We understand that the virus is deadly for seniors, however we also understand that seniors require special care and assistance which we provide at Wiarton Retirement Residence. Our residents are still accessing 100% care and medical assistance which would be complex at their own place if they live alone. Even with minimum contact between employees and residents, residents still have access to 3 meals a day and 3 snacks, assistance, and housekeeping as well as activities to keep them busy. Seniors can be susceptible to feelings of loneliness and isolation thus, to ensure that our residents feel happy and engaged at all times we at Wiarton Retirement Residence are always planning different activities for our seniors, we always make every residents birthday a joyful one and we make sure to celebrate all special holidays, while implementing all necessary COVID-19 regulations. To find out about regular updates please click here. Tips to get through the pandemic Lastly, we decided to share some tips that we practice with our residents here at Wiarton Retirement Residence to help them get through the anxiety of COVID-19. - Stay socially active While maintaining social distancing we are still allowed to meet people. We can meet people in a park or in our car parking spaces while ensuring social/physical distancing. This is important for one’s mental health. However, during the lockdown, we should regularly call our friends and family and have updates about their life so that we still feel like a part of their lives and vice versa. To see more tips on how to remain socially active read this article. - Be physically active Going for walks, exercising and being active is very important. It helps one stay active mentally and physically and helps one get a break from the daily routine at home. It is a break from the new normal. It is recommended to meditate. Everyone meditates differently. You could listen to music or talk to a loved one about what you’re feeling to receive support. Take breaks from COVID-19 news and read a book or play a game. It is recommended to follow a routine. Sleep at the same time every day and wake up at the same time. Shower every day. Have breakfast and get to your daily activities. - Be kind It is a hard time for everyone. Be kind to everyone. Help others and get involved in different activities virtually. - Reach out for virtual counselling If you feel anxious about anything, reach out to your doctor and get a virtual counsellor to receive extra support. We understand that this pandemic is hard and complex for everyone however, if we all take care of ourselves and our community, we believe that this time shall pass soon. During such a time we need to have daily updates from our loved ones and see how they are doing at home and be updated about everyone. We believe that soon we all will have access to the vaccination and then in no time we all can go back to our old normal days until then, let’s be a responsible citizen, friend and a community member.

Nicaraguan women’s groups say no to the ‘silent epidemic’. With doctors, human rights groups and universities they mobilize in May to fight against maternal mortality. The Danish artist Jens Galschiot’s provocative sculpture In The Name of God will be the cornerstone of the They fight for the many pregnant women, who every year die because of carelessness, bad medical care – and because of the country’s total ban against abortion. 49 pregnant women’s lives are every day endangered in Nicaragua, due to the ban against abortion that threats doctors with 8 years in jail, if they – to rescue the mother, hurt the embryo. for women’s lives Behind the campaign stands ‘The strategic alliance for decriminalization of therapeutic abortion’. Therapeutic abortion is the Nicaraguan name for abortion performed to help the mother. The alliance The Nicaraguan Human Rights Centre (CENIDH) Centre for Social Studies and Activities (CEPS) The national coordination of NGO’s working with kids and teenagers (CODENI) The feminist movement (Movimiento Feminista) Catholic Women for the Right to Choose (Mujeres Católicas por el Derecho de Decidir) Universities, doctors’ associations and The central symbol in the campaign is the Danish artist Jens Galschiot’s statue In the name of God, that has been brought to Nicaragua with support from the Central America Committee and International Child Solidarity. Some of the Nicaraguan woman activists saw the statue at World Social Forum in Nairobi, Kenya, and got the idea of bringing it The campaign runs in the weeks before and after the 28. May, the UN day against maternal mortality in Latin America. Maternal mortality has been chosen as central theme of the campaign, also for strategic reasons; because the women’s movement does not have the strength to overtly oppose the propaganda machinery of the Catholic Church, which every day runs TV-commercials proclaiming that ‘Abortion is killing’. - Here we’re just talking about saving women’s lives; we are very far from talking about women’s reproductive rights, say’s Leonel Arguello, a doctor joining the campaign. In connection to the campaign there has been set up an observatory for health rights to collect information and statements about women’s health and abortion. mortality - a political case Therapeutic abortion was forbidden after a campaign, which the Catholic Church carried out in September and October 2006, in alliance with several Protestant communities. The majority of Nicaragua’s population is Catholic, and between a fourth and a third are evangelic protestant. The Catholic Church does not only exercise spiritual, but an essential political influence in the country. Magaly Quintena, from Catholic Women for the Right to Choose, does not think that Jens Galschiot’s crucified and pregnant teenager talks against the Christian message. On the contrary. But with the statue she hopes to challenge the catholic hierarchy’s interpretation of this message, which she sees as an expression of contempt and indifference to “For me Jens Galschiot’s sculpture is expressing two things”, says Magaly Quintena. “The one thing is the masculinity and the feministic vision of God. In this world God is only pictured in his masculine vision. This sculpture reminds us of the vision God as a woman. The other thing is that she reminds us about the tragedy that pregnant women experience in poor countries.” The campaign against maternal mortality is not only a showdown with the country’s mighty Catholic Church and a huge gathering of protestant denominations. It is also a protest against Nicaragua’s new government, the Sandinista Front, and its president Daniel Ortega. The traditional left wing party, that internationally has allied itself with Venezuela, Cuba and Iran, voted in October together with the liberals and conservatives to forbid therapeutic abortion. It happened in the middle of the fight up to the presidential election in November 2006. Under earlier elections catholic priests have given severe admonitions from the pulpits all over the country against ‘the godless communists’ of the Sandinista Front. Many see therapeutic abortion as the political price, Daniel Ortega paid to secure that the church this time took a neutral stance, and in some cases literally supported his

Paravol from Palo Alto Lab was originally developed and marketed specifically for post anabolic users. It was intended to combat the negative sexual side effects of using anabolic steroids. Paravol is now being sold to the general male consumer as "the ultimate male performance enhancement". As promoted by Palo Alto Labs: "Paravol (Ophenafil HCl) is the non prescription formula that gives men unmatched power, stamina and erection fullness and catapults sexual performance to the best levels of your life." Paravol claims to be "the most powerful and effective ejaculation and orgasm enhancer on the market" with these key highlights: Improved Erection Quality and Firmness Dramatically Improved Sexual Stamina & Energy Lasting Results & Confidence Longer, More Intense Orgasms “Next Generation” Product Formulation Does Paravol Work? The first and foremost question on the minds of many our our readers is does XYZ supplement work? In short, Paravol does live up to its expectations, in most cases. From a personal standpoint, and first person experience, I will say that it works, and it worked well, but this doesn't necessarily mean it works for everyone. I won't get into the personal details here. =) If you've used Paravol, please share your review of it here. In a quick search of the user reviews of Paravol floating around the web, you'll find that while most experience some degree of success with paravol, there are users who experience no benefit at all - and this is to be expected. In all my years of using and researching supplements, I haven't really came across any one supplement that's 100% effective for all users. Well, with the exception of maybe protein supplements. To gain a better understanding how Paravol works, we need to look at some of the ingredients contained in this sexual enhancer. Other Ingredients: Gelatin, Magnesium sterate, syloid, ditab. Horny Goat Weed - is used in traditional Chinese medicine. Horny Goat Weed has been used as an aphrodisiac for hundreds of years, and research has also proven its effects on improving sexual desire and performance. So how does Horny Goat Weed work? Research has shown that Horny Goat Weed can inhibit an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase (AChE). AChE rapidly stops neurotransmission at cholinergic synapses like those found in the brain and at neuromuscular junctions, which are needed for speedy responses in the neuromuscular system. By inhibiting AChE, Horny Goat Weed supports higher levels of the key cholinergic neurotransmitters associated with sexual arousal. Read more about Horny Goat Weed in detail here. Tribulus Terrestris Extract - Tribulus Terrestris is NOT a hormone. Tribulus increases testosterone through increasing lutenizing hormone (LH) in your body. LH tells your body to produce testosterone. Why is this beneficial? Simply because Tribulus is not a hormone supplement, it merely works within the body's natural limits helping you achieve muscle and strength. Read about Tribulus here. Long Jack (Eurycoma Longifolia Jack) - also known as Tongkat Ali (promoted as Longjack). Tongkat ali is a root that grows in the rainforests of Southeast Asia. Similar to Tribulus, the herb works by affecting the lutenizing hormones in the body, which signal testosterone production. Longjack is used as a tonic and also as an aphrodisiac. Read more about Tongkat Ali (Longjack) here. Avena Sativa - As unusual as it may sound, Avena Sativa is actually an oat. This 'oat' has many benefits, and has been used for a long time. Here are some uses: relaxation, anti-depressant, herpes, arthritis, indigestion, wrinkles, hemorrhoids, lower cholesterol and others. What we're really interested in here is how Avena Sativa works to boost our testosterone levels, and help you gain more muscles. It's not until recent years that Avena Sativa has been found to help boost testosterone and also act as an aphrodisiac. Research have found Avena Sativa works by freeing up testosterone that's stuck to other compounds in your body. With age, more testosterone gets bound, and bound testosterone isn't as effective as free testosterone. So, instead of increasing the amount of testosterone, it makes your available amount of testosterone 'more efficient' L-Arginine - Arginine helps make nitric oxide, which dilates or relaxes arteries, making blood flow more freely and thus lowering blood pressure. Nitric oxide also helps prevent clot formation and plaque buildup on artery walls that can lead to a heart attack or stroke. Because of arginine's role in the production of nitric oxide, it has been suggested that the amino acid may be useful as a treatment for a variety of heart conditions. Read more on L Arginine here. Chrysin - a naturally occurring isoflavone chemically extracted from the plant Passiflora coerulea that's been found to help increase blood serum levels of testosterone. Chrysin helps by reducing estrogen levels by reducing its conversion from testosterone. Various studies have found Chrysin to significantly improve overall sexual function, increase sperm count, and increase sperm count. Read about Chrysin in detail here. As you can see from the above, many of these ingredients in Paravol are conducive to the production of testosterone, and hence increase sex drive and help improve sexual performance. For example, ingredients such as horny goat weed, tribulus, avena, and Tongkat Ali all in some way help increase the testosterone levels, while an ingredient such as Arginine helps increase the blood flow in the user's body. I don't think I need to explain how that is beneficial. =) Palo Alto Lab Paravol Study Although I can find numerous studies showing the benefits of the individual ingredients in Paravol, I couldn't find any studies on Paravol itself, aside from the one study highlighted on the official Paravol website. So whatever this study claims, take it with a grain of salt. It was a double blind clinical study done on the Protodioscin of standardized extract of tribulus terrestris. The research found dramatically improved erection fullness, sexual stamina, duration of male climax, and reduced recovery times between sessions. Quoted from the study: "Not only did users experience a rejuvenated sex drive, but due to Paravol’s unique formulation, they also enjoyed increased stamina, erectile strength, and most unique, climaxes that were dramatically longer and more intense than ones they had experienced before. First, Paravol dramatically stimulates natural testosterone production within the body, while also balancing the body’s estrogen level. The natural boost in testosterone levels produced by Paravol leads to increased vigor and sexual stamina. Next, Paravol stimulates sperm and seminal fluid production. The increased ejaculate volume is what enables men to experience more powerful and a greater number of contractions, and as many of you know, more contractions mean longer, more intense climaxes. This also allows for multiple performances, since there is greater supply of semen. Paravol also increases nitric oxide levels, which results in greater blood flow to the genitals, hence much firmer, more powerful, longer lasting erections." While the claims of the study sounds a little over promising, user results in the real world with Paravol aren't too far off, myself included. The average user can expect to benefit from Paravol, and it should be noted here that you may experience more frequent random woodys and feel randy like an 18 year old! Not at all bad by any means. =)

Mr. Lightbulb (2022) Mr. Lightbulb (2022) English | CBR | 594 pages | 283.67 MB In this electrifying graphic novel debut, Polish animator and cartoonist Wojtek Wawszczyk uses magical realism to tell a moving tale of finding light in a life full of darkness. Mirroring the world we live in, the protagonist of this graphic novel comes from a broken home. However, in this case, the term is quite literal. Due to freak accidents at the steelworks where his parents work, his mom is snapped, his dad is flattened. As if that wasn't enough to deal with, one day, he suffers his own life-changing experience: mistakenly swallowing a glob of molten metal gives him the strange power to radiate heat and light - like a lightbulb. As he grows up, evolving from Bulb Boy to Mr. Lightbulb, he finds that his unique abilities can be a curse and a blessing; while they alienate him from others, they also allow him to shine. At once surrealist, comedic, heartbreaking, bitterly sarcastic, and deeply sincere, Mr. Lightbulb is an essential work of comics autobio. With bold, expressive ink strokes and brilliant use of visual metaphor, Wojtek Wawszczyk renders an affecting self-portrait, as his protagonist balances challenging family dynamics with his creative ambitions and desire to forge his way in the world. This book, which clocks in at over 600 pages, combines a grand scope with brisk plotting, adding up to a tour de force of artistry and honesty.

Carnog offers two harrow options. The heavy harrow, shown left, has 2 No 4ft mats with 13mm tines and a heavy duty drawbar and weighs 82kg in total. It was made by Paul Helps of Chain Harrows, is really heavy duty and has done a great job of getting rid of those ever-creeping buttercups - as well as spreading muck. The lighter harrow is shown below. Horse-drawn harrows can be used to manage most grassland and are specifically good for managing horse-pasture. Horses do have a bad reputation for poaching fields but Billy and Tyler can be used to remedy most damage. Good horse-pasture management can be achieved by a variety of methods including regular removal of manure (to keep 'rough latrine' areas to a minimum whilst making yourself good compost for the garden at the same time!) as well as pasture rotation and seasonal harrowing. The effect of harrowing is almost miraculous. A muddy mess can be transformed back into a healthy pasture with a small amount of harrowing and some resting. Harrowing aerates the soil by removing dead grass and moss and allowing water and nutrients down into the soil to enable new grass growth. It is best carried out early in spring, before strong grass growth gets underway but should not be carried out if ground nesting birds are present or the land is too wet. Harrowing can also be useful during the summer to break up piles of manure (which can cause some areas to become wrank) allowing them to dry out and expose any parasite larvae to the elements, as well as re-distributing the nutrients more evenly around the fields. Harrowing can be useful at any time the ground has become compacted but it should only be done when the soil conditions are right or the soil can be damaged. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

A new feature that lets you share all the moments of your day, not just the ones you want to keep on your profile. As you share multiple photos and videos, they appear together in a slideshow format: your story. With Instagram Stories, you don’t have to worry about overposting. Instead, you can share as much as you want throughout the day — with as much creativity as you want. You can bring your story to life in new ways with text and drawing tools. The photos and videos will disappear after 24 hours and won’t appear on your profile grid or in feed. You’ll see stories from people you follow in a bar at the top of your feed — from your best friends to your favorite popular accounts. When there’s something new to see, their profile photo will have a colorful ring around it. To view someone’s story, just tap on their profile photo. It’s easy to view stories at your own pace: tap to go back and forward or swipe to jump to another person’s story. If you want to comment on something you see, you can tap and send a private message to that person on Instagram Direct. Unlike regular posts, there are no likes or public comments. Your story follows the privacy settings of your account. If you set your account to private, your story is visible only to your followers. However, you can also easily hide your entire story from anyone you don’t want to see it, even if they follow you. When watching your own story, swipe up to check out who’s seen each photo and video. You can even choose to feature a particular part of your story by posting it on your profile. Instagram has always been a place to share the moments you want to remember. Now you can share your highlights and everything in between, too. Instagram Stories will be rolling out globally over the next few weeks on iOS and Android.To learn more, check out the Instagram Help Center:help.instagram.com/1660923094227526 copyright : Instagram

Home>News Center>World | || Rumsfeld bans camera phones in Iraq Cellphones fitted with digital cameras have been banned in U.S. army installations in Iraq on orders from Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, a business newspaper reported. "Digital cameras, camcorders and cellphones with cameras have been prohibited in military compounds in Iraq," it said, adding that a "total ban throughout the U.S. military" is in the works. Disturbing new photos of Iraqi prisoner abuse, which the U.S. government had reportedly tried to keep hidden, were published Friday in the Washington Post newspaper. The photos emerged along with details of testimony from inmates at Abu Ghraib who said they were sexually molested by female soldiers, beaten, sodomized and forced to eat food from toilets.

Senator Joseph Pennacchio Born- May 27, 1955 Education- B.S. Brooklyn College (Biology) D.D.S. New York University College of Dentistry Occupation- Dentist Public/Party Service- N.J. Economic Development Authority 1998-2001 Morris County Board of Freeholders 1999-2001 Legislative Service-Senate 2008-present, Deputy Republican Leader 2022-present, Republican Whip 2017-2021 General Assembly 2001-07, Appropriations Officer 2004-07 Joe Pennacchio has served in the New Jersey Legisalature as Senator for the 26th Legislative District since 2008. Prior to serving in the State Senate, Pennacchio served in the New Jersey General Assembly from 2000 to 2008. He currently serves on the Legislative Oversight and Senate Economic Growth committees. Pennacchio has been on the forefront for Transparency in Government. His efforts helped bring a comprehensive, inclusive website to New Jersey. It shows taxpayers exactly how each and every dollar is being spent in a timely, user friendly easy to use website and ultimately a useful tool in cutting wasteful, questionable spending. He has sponsored legislation that would also bring transparency to all levels of government. As an Assemblyman, Pennacchio secured 300 acres of the former Greystone tract for Morris County to be used in perpetuity for open space and recreation. As Senator, he successfully lobbied the Christie Administration to commit an additional 100 acres of the former Greystone tract for the same purpose in 2012. Senator Pennacchio has been recognized as a "Taxpayer Champion" by the New Jersey Taxpayer Alliance, receiving a 100% score regarding ten bills that were vital to New Jersey's taxpayer communities. In the past, Americans for Prosperity has also given their coveted "A" rating to State Senator Joe Pennacchio for his efforts on behalf of New Jersey taxpayers. Pennacchio has been recognized as a Guardian of Small Business from 2008-2011 from the New Jersey Federation of Independent Business. Senator Pennacchio served on the Morris County Board of Chosen Freeholders from 1998 to 2001, where he served as freeholder liaison to the county administration and finance offices, and was deputy liaison to the County's Department of Human Services. As Freeholder, Pennacchio started the Kids First program in Morris County, which highlights and addresses children's issues. The Senator helped to bolster the Morris County economy by establishing a $75 million economic growth fund for Morris County and worked to secure funding for the Master Plan for the Picatinny Technology Transfer Program. Pennacchio has proven capable of working with administrations of both parties and legislators across the aisle to craft and pass important legislation. Much of this legislation was directed at improving the lives of New Jersey's children and protecting open space. Legislation was signed into law which gives the county surrogate the option to deposit minors' funds in any federally insured bank within the United States, allowing them to earn a higher rate of interest, and legislation establishing court awarded kinship legal guardianship status, making it easier for family members to become legal guardians of children, which has become a national model. Senator Pennacchio is a former member of Governor DiFrancesco's New Jersey Economic Development Authority and the Montville Economic Development Council. He is also a founder and former member of the Montville Education Foundation. The Senator and his wife Diane live in Rockaway Township. |

Now that I'm back from my Thanksgiving cruise to Cozumel, I'm settling happily into the season of chunky sweaters, steaming mugs of cider and tea, and crackling fires. After the rush of Black Friday and Cyber Monday (or Cyber Week) sales, I've noticed a few trends that I'm really loving for this colder weather! 1. Flare Jeans are BACK! If you're like me, and have, let's call them, athletic, thighs, then you can join me in my ecstasy! I love a good flare jean because it slims your upper leg, and for shorties like myself, gives us a long, lean look when worn with heels. I've been pairing mine with heels and a poncho for work, the perfect combination of chic and comfy. Other ways to wear them include belted with a button down, snuggled into a sweater with a flannel shirt peeking out and plenty of jewelry, or cozied up in a blanket scarf that's belted over a button down or oversized shirt. 2. Blanket scarves If you didn't hop on this train last season, get on now and be prepared to never get off. It's literally like wearing your most comfortable blanket around with you all the time. Order an infinity version and snuggle into it's soft, blankety goodness, or stick with the traditional version that also serves as a cape, shawl, actual blanket and infinitely more possibilities. Personally, I prefer a nice blanket scarf to a jacket since I can wear it in a more traditional style during the day and then pull it over my shoulders as it gets cold. Plus, then I don't have to worry about finding a place for my jacket when I'm walking around from inside to out! 3. Muted colored denim A couple years ago, it was all about bright red denim. Then it was about patterns. Finally, this year it's something I can get behind - muted colored denim. With a short, athletic body type, I'm supremely aware of how my legs look. But I'm loving the color this season, and especially the pull-on legging jeans from Gap! (For more, see my post on the World's Best Jeans) What's your favorite trend this winter? Share in the comments! "You can never be over-dressed or under-educated" Oscar Wilde |

Daily Devotional: Psalms 18:37:42 37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back till they were destroyed. 38 I crushed them so that they could not rise; they fell beneath my feet. 39 You armed me with strength for battle; you made my adversaries bow at my feet. 40 You made my enemies turn their backs in flight, and I destroyed my foes. 41 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them--to the LORD, but he did not answer. 42 I beat them as fine as dust borne on the wind; I poured them out like mud in the streets. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. The apostle Paul was raised in a time when terrorism among the Jews toward the Roman government was supported by many of the Jewish population and even among many of their leaders. To them it was a religious war that defended the honor of their great nation as the people of God. So, while many did not openly support the cause, they did so behind the scenes. It was these feelings that fueled the great anticipation of the coming Messiah. However, in this misguided zeal, the leaders of the day missed the plan of God embodied in Jesus. Jesus was not what they expected. He taught they were to love their enemies and pray for them. He said they were to give their shirt to those who took their coat and go a second mile if demanded to go just one. If they were slapped in the face in derision, they were to turn the other cheek instead of getting even. And now Paul as an apostle of Jesus says they were to go to battle with the gospel of peace using a sword that was the word of God! O God, help me remember that you are the reason for my life and you empower me to be what you want me to be. Keep me from taking my own revenge in anything but always leave room for your vengeance. Help me love those who hate me and pray for those who would mistreat me. Give me wisdom to wield your sword, your word, to do battle against sin and evil around me. Lord, increase my self-control so I can be all you want me to be as your child. Be with those who are teaching your gospel in hostile environments. I pray in the name of Jesus.

Fibromyalgia is a complex condition. Its symptoms are varied and impact our lives in many ways. The pain and fatigue alone can be enough to change your life. To take control of your symptoms, you have to take control, when you are feeling overwhelmed, and work out what helps your symptoms. Most people find that a multi-disciplinary treatment plan works best and use medications, physical activities, and psychology, to help mental and emotional wellness.

The Importance of Proper Flooring Preparation for Your New Jersey Commercial Space Over time, your flooring will take all the wear and tear it can handle. When that time comes it will be necessary for you to install a floor replacement. The process of floor replacement and installation has many parts and one that you might not put too much thought into is the floor removal. Your old floor must be removed to make way for the new, but this is a delicate process that shouldn’t be rushed or done haphazardly. It is important to hire a skilled New Jersey flooring removal specialist to ensure the job gets done correctly. A professional will be able to mitigate undue damage to your sub-flooring and make sure the floor is prepped properly for your new installation. When a professional prepares your flooring for new installation, they should utilize the proper equipment. An important step in the process is, first and foremost, ripping up the floor. This is done with the use of carpet pullers and floor scrapers. Once this task is complete a grinder is used to give concrete the proper coarse finish so that a seal with the flooring can be made. Then a shot blaster is used to thoroughly clean and eliminate all debris from the sub-flooring. A level, clean sub-floor is necessary for moisture control and overall successful new floor installation. Another aspect of a quality professional floor removal is the recycling of your old flooring materials. A company can keep costs lower (and pass those savings on to you) when they take the time to recycle. Besides, recycling is good for the environment. When you have found a quality New Jersey floor removal and preparation specialist, you should also employ them to facilitate the flooring replacement. That way the same contractors are involved in the entire process from start to finish. So when it is time for a new commercial floor, do your research to ensure the floor preparation is going to be handled properly. This is save you money upfront as well as maintenance costs in the long run. The best way to guarantee maximum performance from your commercial flooring is when it is installed right the first time.

I remember a few years back when people would post pictures of their newest purchases on Facebook and MySpace. Their new car, watch, or house would be displayed for all to see and envy. It was a subtle form of bragging intended to show their success and maybe even inspire jealousy in others. They were proud of what they had bought and if pressed, they might even slip and tell you how much they paid for it. The more expensive it was, the more it was worth bragging about. Many of these same friends will still post on these same sites. Today they share links to buy groupons to fancy restaurants and brag about the deal they found for their newest purchases. “Extreme Couponing†has replaced watching “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famousâ€. Finding a good deal is something to inspire envy in others. The cheaper it was, the more it is worth bragging about. I stop and wonder if we have become our own worst enemy. For years we have worried about the “Wal-Mart Effect.â€Â This is the notion that large retailers offering imported goods with low profit margins would bankrupt small businesses and close manufacturing plants. I don’t think this phenomenon can be disputed anymore. The small business owners who were forced to close by these retailers cannot afford to shop anywhere else. The factory workers who lost their jobs due to a lack of orders now wear blue smocks to support their families. We have watched it occur and now we are attempting to help it spread to restaurants. As restaurant guests buy groupons and other deals online to celebrate their special occasions at someplace new, they chip away at the profitability of small local restaurants. These restaurants sign up for these programs to keep their staff employed and to market their restaurants. They hope that if they can just get the guests to try their restaurant, repeat business has to come. They have faith in their restaurant and the food they serve. They are sure they can succeed if only more people would pass through the doors. The groupon bearing guests rave about the food and promise to return. The next time these guests want to dine out, they again want to try someplace new.  They look to Groupon for a recommendation and a deal. A new restaurateur has decided to take the same gamble. They too are confident about their food. The guests rave about this restaurant too. The guests even return home to write about what a great deal they got on their incredible dinner on social networking sites. Their friends think to themselves, “I am going to have to try that place too next time they offer that deal.†When the time comes that Groupon stops offering the deal or the guests decide to have an impromptu night out, they decide to go to the first restaurant again. Only it has closed. They drive to the second restaurant to find it is out of business as well. They assume that it must be a bad year for the restaurant business. They wonder why more people do not open quaint independent restaurants anymore as they drive to the nearest chain restaurant. As they are seated they fail to notice that the managers that night are the owners of the restaurants they had dined at previously.

Spring doesn't officially begin until March but I'm having a bit of spring fever already. I am ready for warmer temps and the flowers to bloom! Speaking of flowers, I was approached by ProFlowers to share some floral inspired spring looks. I ordered flowers from them for my wedding and was very pleased so I jumped on the chance to plan some fun outfits. I used some of my favorite flowers to inspire the following three outfits: orchids, tulips and roses! Look 1: Radiant Orchid This seemed appropriate since radiant orchid was named Pantone's color of the year. I love how vibrant this color is, it made outfit planning so much fun. This shade looks great on just about any skin tone. I love everything about this outfit from the beautiful ornate necklace to the ripped boyfriend jeans. Look 2: Spring Showers I thought an outfit for April showers was a must. Rain boots have been so popular and ever since I bought my first pair last year I wonder why I never owned them before? They are both practical and stylish. They instantly make a great accent to an outfit. This whole look makes rainy days much more bearable (I hate rain)! Mind as well look cute, right? Look 3: Blush and Mint I love this romantic and whimsical look inspired by these beautiful roses. I knew tulle and pearls had to be incorporated somehow. And one of my favorite color combos lately has been mint and pink. It's so girly. I add a few more girly touches like this ring, bright pink brooch and a bow belt. I created these looks using the Polyvore iPhone app. Check it out to find all the details! Which look is your favorite??

Following news that the parent company of iconic L.A. restaurant chain Roscoe's House of Chicken N Waffles was filing for bankruptcy, Snoop Dogg says he wants to step in an help. TMZ cameras caught up with Snoop and Warren G, as they exited Los Angeles' Lure Nightclub... and let them know about the news. "I ain't even know," Warren G said, before Snoop was told, who seemed shocked. "Bankruptcy? Roscoe's went... no they didn't? I guess Ima have to buy it, man and make it Snoop Dogg's Chicken and Waffles," Snoop concluded. Despite the bankruptcy, it's unclear what the fate of Roscoe's will be. However, it's likely, the seven locations will continue to operate. If not, they always have Snoop to help them out.

So, yesterday was fun and busy. It started with a trip to Glorietta to pick up a birthday gift for a party we were going to in the evening. I ended up picking out a Scooby Doo coloring book, a book about how to draw Dexter from Dexter's laboratory, an Asterix comic book and two abridged classics, The Three Musketeers and Treasure Island.. all for under $8. Then we stopped in at Jollibee for some ice cream because the kids were being good. The Jolibee has dipped cones with rice krispie crunchies, for P10 each. All 5 of us had cones for $1 with Nicholas choosing ube, Katherine picking cheese, Rebecca had strawberry and Jonathon and I each had chocolate. The other day Jonathon and I were in a hurry and stopped in at Auntie Anne's for pretzels and I highly recommend the almond variety. For P35 each, we bought two. I'm definitely picking up why our sponsors talked so much about eating out and where to get snacks. While Jonathon napped, the other 3 did an art project, drawing a still picture of that VeggieTale cucumber, Larry. We have a mix-n-match Larry (much like Mr Potato Head), so I stood him up and the kids did their best to draw him a couple times in different outfits. I had them cut him out, then glued him onto some foam board and write something with foam letters, and they really did turn out cute. Once the project was done and cleaned up, Jonathon was still sleeping, but the phone rang. Another mom called us up and invited us over, so I found a new neighborhood on the map and we spent the rest of the afternoon there while the kids built cushion forts and played with the various animals they own (from fish to hampsters to turtles). They have 5 kids, ages 11 years to 5 months and just moved into new quarters. The house is, of course, huge and has a pool. She has a daughter going into 2nd grade (different teacher than Katherine though) and another daughter starting K (we don't have our teacher assignments yet), so this could be a really good year. Manila is their first post as well, so we talked about hired help a bit and discovered we both prefer the same things. Drivers are too much to deal with, live-in househelp is not for us as we enjoy our privacy and a yaya is not a necessity because "lunch functions" are not our thing. She knows a lot of places to find good deals being a 10 month Manila veteran to my 3 months, and told me one of the stalls at the bazaar has interesting quilts. Quilts are a big thing here, but all the ones I've seen are less than exotic, basic designs you can purchase at home. Granted, here they are loads cheaper, but I've never wanted to just "buy a quilt", so I can't see getting some pastel concoction just because they exist and are cheap. But she had one that had patches of different Filipino interests. Landmarks, cultural symbols, really really neat. I want one. The standard quilt apparently comes with a patch of cock-fighting in the middle, but she requested one with a temple instead. It took me a second to realize that in Quezon City is a Mormon Temple. We've agreed that once the the kids start school again, and it's just us and the little boys, we'll hit the town together a few times to see what we can find. On a side note, we've been asked to be community sponsors for a family coming in August with 4 kids, expecting their 5th. What is going on here? We're going to be the small family at post at this rate since that will make three families with 5 kids that I know of off hand. When we left the Lewis house, we swung by home to pick up Ian and then went directly to McDonalds where the birthday party was being held. Again, in a part of town we'd never been in, and the parking was on a slant up 2 curbs. That was an adventure. Thank goodness for parking brakes. Anyhow, this was a nine year old boy who the kids see at summer camp, and he has a six year old sister. It was enjoyable, but it was definitely a McDs birthday complete with games for kids and adults. I have no desire to go back to McDonalds any time soon. They had enough food for an army, giving each kid a big soda, a hamburger, bowl of spaghetti, piece of chicken, piece of cake and a McFlurry. I'm amazed the kids fell asleep at all. And to finish off the day, we received a package from home that had some really great treats for the kids. How perfect was that? Grandma even included clip-on earrings for the girls that they tried out today and proclaimed much too painful to wear. They're thinking now that the short-term pain of getting their ears pierced might be worth it. Oh, seems like all is set for our trip to Cebu on Friday. We have air reservations and hotel set up. We're not going to get to stay at Plantation Bay (http://www.plantationbay.com) because one of the nights we wanted was booked, which we're really bummed about, but if we really like it in Cebu, maybe we'll go back. Not hopeful about that since there are so many other places to go and see, I don't know how we'd go back to the same place, at least not for a long while.

By Harry Forbes This most unlikely premise for a musical -- how the residents of Gander, a small town in Newfoundland, took in nearly 7000 diverted airline passengers (that number roughly equal to their population) on September 11, 2001 -- comes up a likable audience pleaser thanks to an engaging, versatile cast, clever staging, and eight superb musicians. Heartwarming, albeit somewhat predictable, “Come From Away” -- which comes to Broadway via the La Jolla Playhouse, Seattle Repertory Theatre, and Ford’s Theatre -- moves briskly over its one hour and forty minutes (played without intermission), and the cast alternates effortlessly between playing townspeople and plane people. Thanks to their skill and Christopher Ashley’s ingenious direction (in tandem with Kelly Devine’s musical staging), you rarely lose track of who’s who. The book, music and lyrics are credited to the husband and wife team of Irene Sankoff and David Hein. Though the songs (mostly ensemble numbers) work effectively in the context of the show, there’s nothing particularly memorable, at least on first hearing. The story is interesting, and might have been just as effective in a straight dramatic version. Certainly, given the current political climate, the story of people warmly embracing a host of foreigners, no questions asked, generates comforting reassurance about human nature, even as the one Middle Eastern character is initially greeted with suspicion and hostility. August Eriksmoen’s orchestrations and Ian Eisendrath’s music arrangements emphasize the Celtic quality of much of the score, especially a rousing dance number in a pub. The cast of 12 work as a true ensemble, and all are excellent. There’s Astrid Van Wieren as Beulah, head of the Gander Legion, who coordinates the crowds at the local school; Chad Kimball and Caesar Samayoa as a gay couple from Los Angeles, the first, head of an environmental energy company, the other his secretary/boyfriend; Sharon Wheatley as a Texas divorcee and Lee MacDougall as a British engineer who falls for her; Jenn Colella as American Airlines' first female pilot (given the show’s only solo showstopper “Me and the Sky”); Q. Smith as a mother desperately trying to get news about her firefighter son back in New York; Joel Hatch as the town mayor; Petrina Bromley as an SPCA head distraught about the welfare of the animals on board the flights; Kendra Kassebaum as a novice TV reporter who earns her stripes during those tumultuous days; Rodney Hicks as a skeptical black New Yorker who learns to trust; and Geno Carr as a Gander police constable (one of only two). All of them deftly play multiple roles. Beowulf Boritt’s set design, lighted by Howell Binkley, has the requisite versatility for the quick scene changes from Gander cafeteria to plane to whatever. Twelve chairs are actually the principal props. Toni-Leslie James’ costumes greatly help define the characters. Gareth Owen’s sound design seems to me rather overloaded, and not all the dialogue or lyrics are intelligible. The opening ensemble number “Welcome to the Rock” got things off to an off-putting start with a particularly high decibel level and muddy quality. Ian Eisendrath’s music supervision keeps things lively, and when he and his fellow musicians have the stage to themselves after the cast's curtain calls, allowing the audience -- some genuinely moved to tears -- to exit the theater in a jubilant mood.

The good news, however, is that no matter how bad that history is, there are attainable loan deals out there. Sometimes the best option available is a high risk personal loan, with bad credit forcing leaps of faith on both sides.Low monthly repayment sums are the ideal arrangement for borrowers, but when bad credit is a feature in the loan agreement, then interest rates are going to be higher and pressure to meet repayments greater. Being offered such factors is par for the course, and securing online loans usually depends on it.But while the pressure is high for borrowers, and the risk equally high for lenders, there are still personal loan options that are affordable. But what are the pros and cons of these various loans? We look at 3 such deals to find the answer.1. Cash Advance (Payday) LoansThis option is probably the most common, mainly because it has the highest degree of approval. In fact, approval confidence is extremely high despite the fact the applicant is seeking a high risk personal loan with bad credit. But they are also the most expensive option.Granted against an upcoming paycheck, this loan basically cashes that check in advance. As a result, the loan limit is very low (maximum $1,500). Securing online loan approval can take just a few minutes, and funds can be deposited into a bank account in as little as 2 hours. So, this is an ideal solution for financial emergencies.The price of getting a high certainty of approval is a very high interest rate, with some lenders charging 30%. And with repayment terms as short as 14 days, the pressure to repay this personal loan can be very acute. In fact, a $1,500 loan could require a single repayment of $1,950 to clear it.2. Person 2 Person (P2P) LoansIn complete contrast, this is one of the least common options, but one that is growing in popularity. The problem with getting high risk personal loans with bad credit, is convincing https://pay-day-loans-massachusetts.info/ the lender. But a P2P loan makes that easier, while also negating the influence of bad credit scores over interest rates.A P2P lending website connects individuals rather than applicants to lending institutions, and the required sum is shared by these people, thus lowering the risk for them. These individuals view the loan as an investment as they earn a small profit through interest. In terms of securing online loans, this is a plausible option.The loans work thus. An applicant needs a personal loan of $3,000, and calculates a monthly repayment budget of $150. Three individuals invest $1,000 each, to be repaid over 3 years. With repayments of $150, each make a profit of $800.3. Cosigner LoansOf course, when it comes to larger loans, there can be a problem with both of the first two options. To get a large high risk personal loan with bad credit, of $10,000 to $25,000, a cosigner is needed. Because a cosigner guarantees the monthly repayments, the risk is effectively removed. So, a lender can lower the interest rate charged.Often, securing online loans comes down to issues like income and affordability, but a qualifying cosigner makes almost every loan deal affordable. But to qualify, they must have an excellent credit history and have enough income to be able to make the monthly repayments on the personal loan, if necessary.… The Social Revolution of AR Gaming Embark on a transformative journey where augmented reality (AR) gaming revolutionizes social interaction and connectivity, bringing people together in unprecedented ways. 1.

It’s Friday which means it’s time for another bump update! If you’re here just for that, then you’ll find the update at the bottom of the page. However, if you’re an Instagram user, then I’m going to recommend reading the entire post because I’m starting a movement from November 1-3 and I’d love for you to be a part of it! I love a beautiful photo. It shows the beauty captured in a given moment. I mean, even a rusty old tool can be beautiful if it’s captured well. I love social media. I love seeing what people are up to and how they’re living their life. I love seeing people share the real story. Not the branded, polished version that represents their online presence, but the raw, real story that showcases their life. The real story that’s rarely shared on social media, especially Instagram where everyone is showcasing the perfect moments that they captured with a lens. Let’s change that. For three days, let’s showcase the moments beyond the lens with a mini challenge. From November 1-3, let’s share the story behind the picture using the hashtag #thisflawedmoment. I still want you to showcase the beautiful moment you captured in your photo (remember, I love beautiful photos), but I want you to share the flawed moments that occurred around the picture in the caption. Maybe it’s the incessant barking of your dog or the coffee stain on your shirt. Maybe it’s a teething baby or a sink full of dishes. Whatever the flaws are, I want you to share them with your photo and tag #thisflawedmoment. Need an example? I’ve got one below! This picture showcases the silly antics of our new puppy amidst all of the chaos that comes with moving into a new house. What the picture doesn’t show is the ache in my heart that was keeping me from putting any of our stuff away. This picture was taken the day after I found out that we had some tough decisions ahead of us regarding the family dog. While this photo will always make me smile for the moment I captured, it’ll also make me ache for the one that wasn’t captured. #thisflawedmoment I’m inviting you to be raw and open with your followers with this movement. I’m inviting you to share your best and favorite photos with a caption that tells the story behind the photo. I want you to give your followers a glimpse into your world and the flaws that make you the person that you’ve become. So what do you say? Will you be joining me November 1-3 to showcase the moments beyond the lens? If you’re forgetful like me, sign up for daily reminders to participate. (Can I blame pregnancy for my forgetfulness?) If you’d love to get your friends and followers involved, check out the resources page. (The more the merrier, right?) Follow me on Instagram for updates about the challenge and a few prize announcements that are coming soon! (Yes, I said the word – there will be prizes.) Size? Baby is the size of a bunch of grapes! Movement? All the time! Bump? Yep! I’m still wondering when the first stranger will comment… Maternity Clothes? Maternity leggings, yoga pants, and pajama pants are my best friends right now. Stretch Marks? None so far! Belly button in or out? Still staying in! Cravings? Little Debbie snack cakes (I’m ready for this sweet tooth to disappear already!) Symptoms? Lots of aches this week. Exhaustion has returned but I think that’s from a lack of sleeping at night. Mood? Worn out but excited for the many things I’m working on for the blog and life. What are you missing? I miss being able to turn over easily in the night. I feel like it’s a chore to turn from side to side. Highlight of the week? Right now, I’m drawing a blank. We’ve taken some time to rest finally so maybe that’s the highlight… Oh and we decided on a name but that’s only been shared with a few so far! If you’re friends or family, feel free to ask about it! Looking forward to? My best friend from California is coming to visit for a week in November! I’m beyond excited to see her again and to show her some of the neat places we’ve found around here!

February 12, 2018 In the past year, I've found myself listening to countless podcasts and reading through blog posts and books. I may be single, but no matter the media form, my favorite topics to learn more about are dating, marriage, and relationships. The common thread of many relationship resources is communication. And that's one of the skills I know I lack when it comes to dating relationships. Growing up, my communication style was pretty much non-existent, or avoidant. I have a tendency to avoid both conflict and confrontation, even if I'm not directly involved. The peacemaker and people-pleaser inside of me would rather go along with others than speak up for myself. I can look back on my life and find instances of backing down in group projects at school, at meetings at work, and in conversations with friends and loved ones. But without communication, I'm setting everyone up for failure, frustration, and disappointment, including myself. If I choose not to voice my needs and expectations, I'm leaving people out of my circle and heart. And I'm choosing distance instead of intimacy and vulnerability. Without communication, my needs won't be met which, like a wonderful domino effect, brings on a sour attitude from yours truly. I'm tired of living this way and I've felt God really place boldness and bravery in my heart. I want to grow closer in my relationships with others. I want to speak my needs and expectations. And I want more heart-to-heart conversations, too. Those are the conversations I learn and grow the most from and if growth is what I want, I need to do the nitty-gritty to get there. I want the words that leave my mouth to be intentional, grace-filled, honest, and true. I want to speak my heart, speak my needs, and just speak up. So here's to more prayer, more practice, and more podcasts, too. Because we all know I can't do it on my own! p.s. Here are two of my favorite resources, if you're interested! Beating 50 Percent | Jeremy and Audrey Roloff are such an inspiration for me. It's cool to see a local (and young) couple share their desire to beat the statistics and cultivate a God-centered marriage is what I truly believe are marriage goals. They've taught me so much about communication, cultivation, and commitment in relationships. Love that Lasts | Jeff and Alyssa Bethke are another favorite Jesus-loving couple who have the cutest family. Alyssa's upbringing matches mine and so I easily related to her story in their latest book, Love that Lasts. The two share their love story while touching on topics that every married couple needs to know. Oh, and their podcast episodes are amazing, too! They have a mini-series on marriage right now that's really opened my eyes to how I view relationships.

Brief History of the Lhasa Apso The Lhasa Apso originated in Tibet, perhaps as long ago as 800 B.C., which makes it one of the oldest recognized breeds in the world. Research* has shown the Lhasa as one of the breeds most closely related to the ancestral wolf. (Others are Akita, Shiba Inu, Shar-Pei, Chow, Basenji, Alaskan Malamute, Siberian Husky, Saluki, Afghan, Pekinese, Shih Tzu, and Samoyed.) Referred to in Tibet as Apso Seng Kyi, best translated as "Bearded Lion Dog," the Lhasa's primary function was that of a household sentinel, guarding the homes of Tibetan nobility and Buddhist monasteries, particularly in or near the sacred city of Lhasa. The large Tibetan Mastiffs guarded the monasteries' entrances, but the keen hearing and sharp bark of the Lhasa Apso served to warn residents if an intruder happened to get past the exterior guards. These little guardians were highly prized. It was believed that the bodies of the Lhasa Apsos could be entered by souls of deceased lamas while they awaited reincarnation into a new body. Lhasas in Tibet were never sold. The only way a person could get one was as a gift. Le and Phema. Two early imports from Tibet While the breed first came to the West in the early 20th century, the first Lhasa Apsos did not come to the United States until 1933. These two little dogs were gifts from the 13th Dalai Lama to Mr. and Mrs. C. Suydam Cutting of New Jersey. The Cuttings later received another pair of Lhasas from Tibet. Their Hamilton Farms' Lhasa Apsos were extremely influential in establishing the breed in the United States. The American Kennel Club recognized the breed and approved its Standard in 1935. At that time, the Lhasa was known as the Lhasa Terrier and was assigned to the Terrier Group! It was not until 1956 that the breed was assigned to the Non-Sporting Group. The Lhasa Apso Standard was updated in 1978. In 1994 the American Lhasa Apso Club (ALAC) published its "Guide to the Standard" and later the Illustrated Guide to help newcomers and judges understand the language of the Lhasa Apso Standard. The official breed Standard was updated and approved by AKC in 2019, and the Illustrated Guide to The Standard was revised in 2020. The American Lhasa Apso Club was founded on February 9, 1959. Club colors are turquoise and silver. ALAC's objectives are 1) to encourage and promote the breeding of pure-bred Lhasa Apsos and to do all possible to bring their natural qualities to perfection; 2) to encourage the organization of independent local Lhasa Apso Specialty Clubs in those localities where there are sufficient fanciers of the breed to meet the requirements of The American Kennel Club; 3) to urge members and breeders to accept the standard of the breed as approved by the American Kennel Club as the only standard of excellence by which Lhasa Apsos shall be judged; 4) to do all in its power to protect and advance the interests of the breed and to encourage sportsmanlike competition at dog shows, agility, rally, and obedience trials; 5) to conduct sanctioned matches, specialty shows, agility, rally, and obedience trials under the rules of the American Kennel Club. * Parker H.G., Kim L.V., Sutter N.B., Carlson S., Lorentzen T.D., Malek T.B., Johnson G.J., DeFrance H.B., Ostrander E.A., and Kruglyak L.

Here is the last post before the year ends - my review on DCOVA, another well-known cafe in town! I got a little excited because that's my second food review with my pretty sister, Joewy. And of course, I couldn't be more pleased to thank our friend Jennifer for the awesome arrangement made. This cafe had been reviewed by Tripadvisor and Foodsion respectively, showing their reliable quality of services as well as the food and beverages. Is that so true? I'm going to tell you now...

It would be great to have the "return to start" option when I'm traveling in Beijing and Korea. Plus, I feel naked when I run without my Garmin. I wanted to see if anyone else had the answer before I ask them on Facebook.

SRINAGAR, JULY 16 (KNS): In view of the rising cases of covid-19, the Chief Secretary, Dr Arun Kumar Mehta today appealed the people of J&K to take the necessary precautions and be safe. He observed that it is better to take preventive measures than taking risk of getting affected by the disease. Dr Mehta impressed that it is time to renew our efforts to contain this contagious virus from spreading again. He stated that there is a little surge in covid positive cases but the mortality fortunately very low. Under these circumstances he enjoined upon all to enforce mandatory SoPs like wearing of face masks, use of hand sanitisers etc. He advised them to take precautions and be careful in public places for the general good of all of them. The Chief Secretary also encouraged the people to take the precautionary dose whoever is eligible. He made out that it is the mass vaccination that has saved human lives last time and this time again people should show prudence by taking the free booster doses for their safety and well being. Dr Mehta also directed the concerned to commence an IEC campaign and create awareness among masses. He asked them to be vigilant and ensure that the virus do not spread uncontrollably. He asked them to monitor the situation constantly and take measures simultaneously. He also showed confidence that last time our performance was efficient as we didn’t let the situation to take an ugly turn. He exuded hope that this time we together would better that record by playing our respective roles by being responsible and careful.(KNS)

Lyncée Tec DHM® are configured in the so-called off-axis configuration [Cuche 1999]: Holograms encode the 3D topography in a 2D image that can be recorded by a digital camera with a single frame acquisition. DHM® performs single-shot acquisition and opens the way to live 3D topography. The 3D measurement rate, i.e the hologram acquisition rate, is only limited by the camera acquisition rate. There is no need to perform multiple acquisitions of images as necessary for phase shifting and coherence scanning interferometers, or to perform lateral scanning as for laser confocal and atomic force microscopes. It is an important strength of the Nobel prized invention of Denis Gabor. Temporal resolution is given by the duration of the acquisition of each hologram. It is controlled and limited by the camera shutter and the laser power: enough light needs to be collected during the measurement for optimal quality. For applications necessitating extremely high temporal resolution, camera acquisitions are synchronized with laser pulses. 3D measurements are displayed and analyzed at camera rate. This enables you to screen your sample by moving it laterally under the microscope objective to immediately observe and localize, in 3D, interesting details, presence of defects, or dices variability over a full wafer. Being able to observe efficiently large areas of the sample, allows you to discover much more about your sample. Modification of the sample topography induced by a mechanical force, a chemical reaction, a temperature or pressure change, or by application of a voltage can be observed instantaneously and measured live. Acquisition rate of a non-scanning system as DHM® is only limited by the frame rate of the camera. There is no other limitation. Short acquisition time enables to capture 3D topography on moving samples, without stopping them. Displacement speed is limited by the camera shutter duration and on two conditions of the sample displacement distances during the acquisition time: (1) the sample should not move laterally over a distance larger than half of the required lateral resolution, and (2) the vertical displacement of the sample should not be more than 100 nm. An example is the quality control of the topography of solar wafer performed directly on the convey tray, without stopping the sample. Scanning mechanisms are complex and prone to failure and drift over time. They need regular maintenance and calibration. Non-scanning systems require reduced maintenance as well as calibration time and cost, enhancing your confidence in the measurement reliability. In laboratories, clean rooms and production environments, the surrounding noise spectrum range varies from a few Hz, due to the presence of compressors, pumps, elevators, to a few hundred of Hz due to traffic and transformers and can reach about 10-20 kHz due to acoustic waves. Standard DHM® have an acquisition rate generally shorter than the timescale of movements produced by noise. Topography measurements by DHM® are not affected by vibrations and do not necessitate special tables with anti-vibration damping systems. Note that some samples and time-lapse measurement protocols are vibration sensitive (accelerometers, gyroscopes, cells in suspension in liquid, etc.). Lyncée Tec supplies optional anti-vibration tables.

A power bank is essentially an external battery in a sealed case. Powerbanks come with a USB cable; you connect it to a power source such as a laptop to charge the powerbank. Some charge via flip out blades for plugging into the wall. In either case, you carry the charged up powerbank – and the cable – in your pocket, purse, backpack, briefcase or whatever and use it to charge the phone (using the same USB cable) when you see the battery meter sinking into the sunset. Now the old solution was maybe go sit in your car in some parking garage to use your car charger, or maybe sit and wait in a food court somewhere where you miraculously found an outlet to plug into. You don’t like to admit it, but in many cases you’re screwed without your smart phone. So what’s the new solution to the, oops I’m out in the world with a dead phone and no charger, problem? Portable power banks. If you’re the type who winds up standing in the street under an umbrella late for something or other and staring at the little Apple symbol on a black screen as your iPhone powers off just before the email you needed to look at loaded, then listen up. Let’s talk 21st century solutions. Lets talk accessories that solve modern life’s little problems. source: Cellz.com- Your one stop Cell Shop!

Wednesday, September 28, 2016 Early voting is about to begin and there’s another amendment that you need to take a long, hard look at before casting your ballot. That is Amendment 3. I urge you to vote “No” on this amendment to our constitution that threatens the core of our judicial system. This is how the Amendment will appear on your ballot: Shall the Constitution of Georgia be amended so as to abolish the existing Judicial Qualifications Commission; require the General Assembly to create and provide by general law for the composition, manner of appointment, and governance of a new Judicial Qualifications Commission, with such commission having the power to discipline, remove, and cause involuntary retirement of judges; require the Judicial Qualifications Commission to have procedures that provide for due process of law and review by the Supreme Court of its advisory opinions; and allow the Judicial Qualifications Commission to be open to the public in some manner? So, why should you care about this seemingly innocuous This Amendment is a hostile attempt by the Georgia Legislature to take over the one agency that protects our judicial system from Judges who commit acts of criminal and moral turpitude. Plus, all the other reasons a judge may become unfit to serve in a position that has such a great impact on the lives of our citizens. Let me tell you how Amendment 3 managed to end up on our ballot. In 1972, the Judicial Qualifications Commission (JQC) was created by another amendment to our constitution. The JQC is an independent “watchdog” group over all Judges in our state. Normal citizens going about their daily lives have probably given little thought to who polices the judges who judge us and who we depend on to have unbiased judgment. The JQC, under-funded and under-staffed, has been quietly going about their job protecting the integrity of our judicial system. The JCQ is currently made up of (1) Three members of the State Bar of Georgia active for 10 years or more, who are elected by the State Bar’s Board of Governors, (2) Two judges of any Court selected by the Supreme Court, and (3) Two citizens, neither of whom are members of the State Bar, who are appointed by the Governor. Over the years, the JQC has removed 77 Judges from the bench, only the worst of the worst judges. Judges are human and they make mistakes, but those 77 Judges did not make simple mistakes. The only person or person who would have a problem with this Agency doing their job is a Judge, and one is former Judge Johnnie L. Caldwell, Jr., not to be confused with his esteemed father that served Georgia well in many positions over his lifetime. In 2010, Caldwell, Superior Court Judge of the Griffin Judicial District, resigned from the bench after the JQC had a “come to Jesus” meeting with him regarding his sexually explicit harassment of a female attorney. Court transcripts, which Judge Caldwell went to great lengths to attempt to conceal, contained graphic details of his shocking words and perversion. In return for not being “removed,” Mr. Caldwell was allowed to resign to “spend more time with his family.” In a letter to the JQC, he accepted responsibility for his actions and vowed he would never seek another judgeship. Instead, he ran for, and was elected State Representative to the State Legislature. Now he is a co-sponsor of amendment 3, the very legislation that will abolish the JQC and turn it over to the members of the State Legislature. Judges would then be answerable only to members of the Georgia General Assembly! How horrifying is that? I see this Amendment as a crusade by a former Judge holding a grudge and having a vendetta. As evidence of this, Johnnie Caldwell did not recuse himself from the vote taken by the legislature as another Judge did who was merely a candidate for Judge at The fact that Johnnie Caldwell, Jr. is a sponsor of this bill is reason enough to vote “No.” No hearings were held prior to this amendment being placed on our ballot and the public was not asked for input. The legislation itself offers little detail as to how this new JQC would work. The last line of the ballot question says, “…open to the public in some way?” Wouldn’t you like to know exactly “what way” before voting on this important measure? If this law is passed, it puts the over-sight of all state judges into the hands of the General Assembly. Then they are free to tinker with the law each time a Judge and his network has a complaint. Let me give you an example of a Governor and General Assembly controlled commission. The State Ethics Commission! This commission tasked with transparency in government is one of the most political commissions in Georgia. It’s a joke! It has gone from being a “watch dog” group to a Save-a-Pet. The current JQC is not perfect, but it is as close to being non-political as anything we’ve got. We need to keep it that way. My only advice comes from my years as a paralegal serving in courtrooms and it’s something I have been yearning to tell the JQC for years. The current JQC has used very high standards to remove unfit judges from the bench. Evidently, a Judge with advanced dementia does not qualify for removal under the current standards. Wednesday, September 21, 2016 I agree with Donald Trump! I’ve heard enough of Trump’s birther war against President Obama. This has been code language to all the racists in this country and it has been heard loud and clear. Trump spent eight years disrespecting and attempting to de-legitimize our first Black President and playing on the racist nature of certain segments of our population. After much pressure, today at a highly hyped announcement, Trump spent five seconds saying, “Obama is a citizen of the United States, period.” He went on to say Hillary started it! Proof positive that he can’t speak two sentences without telling a lie. Now after eight years, he wants this to go away! He assumes by doing this we will forget. We all know in our heart that he’s a racist and based on his actions and body language (learned that from Trump), he is afraid of black people and uncomfortable in their presence. I will never forget and neither should you. I agree we need to move on to expose other threats a Trump presidency would bring to our country. Trump wants us to talk birtherism rather than the issue of his threat to our national security. The greatest civic-minded act you can perform for your country at this time is to educate yourself. You can start by reading the cover story in last week’s Newsweek Magazine. In this very detailed article, Newsweek exposes the Trump Organization’s secretive financial web across the world. Electing a President with known financial ties to foreign governments, crooks, and criminals is a threat to our national The full extent of Trump’s global partnership can never be known unless he releases his income taxes. We need to see them, but that ain’t gonna happen! I can’t do the lengthy Newsweek article justice here. I have to simplify. However, I would like to share a few points that scare me to the core. First, keep in mind that the Trump Organization is a “branding” company, thanks to the Apprentice show. He lends his name for a price of hundreds of millions a year. The properties of The Trump Organization are built with other people’s money and lots of foreign government money. The Trump Organization is tied to 500 subsidiaries, with most subsidiaries tied to governments that do not share the same national security interest as the USA. Newsweek analyzed only fifteen of these subsidiaries. However, it is clear there will be few national security decisions that a President Trump would make that would not conflict with our government and Trump’s money. The Trump we know would always choose his own bank account. His first venture with foreign governments was in South Korea with Daewoo Engineering and Construction, the parent company of Daewoo Group. The Daewoo Group filed bankruptcy after committing a 43$ billion accounting fraud. The Trump Organization is still partnered with the Daewoo parent company. Earlier this year, Trump said South Korea should shoulder it’s own military defense instead of relying on the US. Trump then immediately said he did not say that, even though it was on videotape. Will the USA pay for South Korea’s nuclear weapons production if Trump is President? Probably. The Trump Organization has many projects ongoing in India. One of the companies is currently embroiled in an investigation suggesting that the land was illegally obtained. The Indian Government may be eager to please President Trump and rule in the company’s favor thus creating a severe conflict. Trump has close relations to various government parties in Southeast Asia and recently announced many more projects to come. If Trump takes a hard-line with Pakistan, will it be for the national security interests of the USA or to please the government of India so they will clear all obstacles for Trump’s construction projects? Trump has many conflicts in Turkey. The least of which is his partner, Aiydin Dogan who was indicted for fuel smuggling. After these charges, President Erdogan demanded Trump’s name be removed from the complex. The president and Trump are now at odds. President Erdogan despises Trump. American-Turkish relationships are one of the most important to us. Trump’s feud with President Erdogan and his anti-Muslim stances, would put the USA in a very precarious situation. Our Turkey military base is essential to our military logistics and our fight with Isis. There is so much more, I only mentioned three (3). All show conflicts with these foreign powers and Trump will be deciding between his business and his country. Trump’s foreign policy decisions regarding Iran and Azerbaijan will be suspect. Trump’s association with Russian and Ukraine government officials runs deep. And, let’s don’t forget about his bromance with Putin, and the fact half his staff has deep ties to Russia. Trump has proclaimed that he will put his businesses in a blind trust to his children. Really? That one makes me laugh. Read the Newsweek article if you are concerned with our National Security. As for me, if Trump wins, I will immediately start digging a bunker in my backyard. Wednesday, September 14, 2016 Warning! Don’t get so caught up with the candidates for President this year that you forget to do the necessary preparation activities to vote. It’s time to prepare for casting that all- important ballot on Tuesday, REGISTERING TO VOTE: The deadline to register to vote is October 11. If you are already registered to vote, especially if you are a first-time voter, you should be checking right now to verify that you are indeed registered and not purged from the list. You can do this by calling the registrar’s office or by going on-line to the Georgia Secretary of State’s website. Alternatively, if you show up to the polls and are told you are not registered, you have the right to request a provisional, or paper ballot. The provisional ballot will then be verified and counted. best-kept secret in Georgia is that FELONS can vote. As long as you have served your sentence, finished probation or parole, paid all your fines and fees, and it has been five years, your voting rights are automatically restored. You don’t have to do a thing but register to vote. I can hear you now, “That’s not true!” Don’t take my word for it; call your local registrar. If you want to vote by absentee, the Application for the Official Election Ballot is available now. You can pick the application up or call the Registrar’s Office for one to be mailed to you. Help thy neighbor. If you know elderly people, disabled people, or ANYONE that may need an absentee ballot, pick up as many applications as you need. Distributing applications is legal! The person requesting the Official Ballot must sign the application before it is returned to the elections office. You do not have to have a reason for voting absentee. No one should be disenfranchised because they don’t have transportation, have to work, are elderly and infirm, or are fearful of the electronic voting machines. Historically, the GOP has owned absentee voting and has used absentee voting as a very effective political tool. When Democrats use it, it is immediately suspect. This is a favorite topic for Republicans. To hear them tell it, the practice is rampant. The truth is; voter fraud in this country is close to zero. All the voter laws being put forth by red states in the name of voter fraud is actually an attempt to suppress the minority vote. The Courts are playing whack-a-mole to prevent minorities from being disenfranchised. VOTER SUPPRESSION: We need to be concerned with voter fraud being committed by the GOP in the form of voter suppression. Just last week, the Supreme Court blocked a measure by Georgia Secretary of State, Brian Kemp that would have required voters to show proof of American citizenship to register. The newest tactic of the GOP is to use a computer program called Interstate Crosscheck Voter Registration Program. In an investigation by Rolling Stone magazine, the process was explained. They take the voter lists from each participating state (22 states) and check for duplicate names. (Georgia is a participating state!) Then it spews out a list of duplicates containing common names. For instance, if your name is Washington, there is an 89% chance of being African American. Then duplicates are culled by first names. If your name is Hernandez, there is a 95% chance you’re Hispanic. What if your name is Jose Hernandez? See the problem? LOCAL VOTER SUPPRESSION: I was perplexed as to why the banner headline last week in the Monroe County Reporter was “Did Calloway rig ‘ll election?” This article written by Will Davis and was accompanied by a large picture of James Calloway. disclaimer, I don’t know Mr. Calloway from a sack of salt. I did not follow this story back in 201l. I have no knowledge of his bribery charges or character. My observations are based only on the contents of this article. I read this article no less than ten times trying to determine what was in the article to warrant such a shout out to readers. Further, the picture on the continued page of the article shows pictures of envelopes with postage stamps and pictures identified as “Absentee ballots.” An examination with a magnifying glass reveals these pictures were actually of Application for Official Absentee Ballot. Very misleading! According to Georgia Election Law, that, in it’s self is NOT a violation. The FBI has closed the case. The District Attorney pointed out the statute of limitations has expired. However, it was pointed out in the article that the Secretary of State can investigate a complaint at any time. I then heard the dog-whistle loud and clear! This story was only meant to be a reminder to the minority population in this community that if you vote, especially by absentee, you may be subject to an investigation, thus inducing fear in these voters. Republican Secretary of State, Brian Kemp would really like to do that for you, Mr. Davis. Wednesday, September 7, 2016 With one flick of your finger on November 8th, you will make a decision that will have a profound effect on our children and generations to come. No, I’m not talking about whether you vote for Trump or Clinton. I’m talking about how you vote on Amendment 1, a proposed Amendment to change the way our children are schooled. Voting on an Amendment to our Georgia Constitution is basically an everlasting law. There is no quick remedy when the people vote to amend the Constitution. You can’t say, “Oops! We made a mistake, it’s not working,” and then easily undo the changes wrought by the new law. Usually, the most over-looked aspect of the voter ballot is the section on Amendments. We tend to think that voting is all about the candidates and we spend much time studying and deciding who would be the best for our state and nation. Then when we enter the voting booth, “We say, Oh snap! I forgot about the Amendments.” Then we try to make an on-the-spot decision based solely on the wording on the ballot. I have been guilty of this. Amendment 1 on this year’s ballot is one of the most important initiatives we have ever had to decide. Let’s treat it as such and give it the attention We now have the wording of the proposed Amendment 1 to our Georgia Constitution on our 2016 Shall the Constitution of Georgia be amended to allow the state to intervene in chronically failing public schools in order to improve student performance? ( ) YES (X ) NO Shall the Constitution of Georgia be amended to allow the state to intervene in chronically failing public schools in order to improve student performance? ( ) YES (X ) NO I hate the word “failing.” Most of the children impacted by this Amendment are minorities and children living in poverty. These children have enough challenges without being further stigmatized. Also, the word “intervene” should be “taken The following are a few things that the ballot wording did not tell you. This is only the tip of Governor Deal was nearing the end of his second term and needed a signature accomplishment for his legacy. This Amendment gives Governor Deal the authority to take over failing schools and place them under his new program called the Opportunity School District (OSD). He will appoint one person with sole authority as the Superintendent of the OSD. Beginning with the 2017-18 school year, they will select 20 schools from the now list of 139 failing schools, and place them under OSD. They will add 20 schools each year up to 100. When these schools are taken over, we will have no clue what will happen to our children because the Amendment makes no mention of what or how our children will be taught. It doesn’t matter that we have an elected school Superintendent. The person appointed by the Governor as Superintendent of OSD will usurp his authority. There will be no local school boards or local superintendents overseeing these schools. Parents have no input; there will be no appeals process for parents, taxpayers, or the local Board of Education. All decisions will be made in a central Atlanta office. However our tax dollars will still support these schools. This is a clear case of “taxation without representation.” The OSD Superintendent will decide which teachers to keep and the administrative staff will be automatically replaced. The local school district will be responsible for the legal cost of terminations, RIF’s, and non-renewals. And lest we forget, all the state, local, and funding for these students will be transferred to the OSD School. This constitutional amendment is fraught with many inexplicable requirements. One is if OSD closes a school, the local school district cannot use the facilities for three years. What if a local school district needs a new school or needs to expand and there is a building just setting there that cannot be used? The OSD also has the authority to make a failing school, a charter school. That opens up another rotten can of worms. I daresay, that’s what this is really all about; a pathway to privatizing and profiteering off our schools. The constitutional provisions for the charter schools call for the local school district to pay for all repairs except routine maintenance. Yet, the charter school gets all the funding allocated for those Do your homework before voting on this Amendment! You owe it to all the children of Georgia. And don’t be swayed when the Koch Brothers unleash millions of dollars in pro-OSD advertising any day now. They oppose public education and will spend any amount to win. If they win, our children lose.

African Laughter by Doris Lessing Poignant memoir of an author’s visits to a country that holds her childhood home. In African Laughter, Doris Lessing’s nostalgia for a country she left behind is palpable. Even though the main focus of the book is to give an account of the author’s visits to Zimbabwe between 1982 and 1992, on four separate occasions, the book is structured to provide readers with the look and feel of the lives of both whites and blacks during the white-dominated Rhodesia and then in the postcolonial era after Zimbabwe gained independence and black-majority rule was established. In this way, readers can walk away with a historical overview of the events that have shaped Zimbabwe to what it is today. Doris Lessing’s writing style is superb and her story telling compelling. She has a way of bringing the scenes she describes to life. The fact that she is describing events that happened in her life makes the book even more powerful for me. I consider this book a social commentary on the transition from the colonial past of Rhodesia, through the war of liberation to the first twenty or so years of post-colonial Zimbabwe. Doris Lessing’s journalistic background lends itself well to telling this story as it is full of historic facts narrated in a literary fashion, creating a very informative and highly entertaining read. The issues covered in this book are wide ranging, but the stories are structured in a way that is easy to follow. I also found the subheadings used throughout the chapters in the book very helpful, rather than distracting—as I had imagined when I first got the book. Being a Zimbabwean, I felt like I was catching up on bits of gossip on the history of my country, delivered in neat packages under informative subheadings. What stands out for me in the book is Doris Lessing’s love for the country of her childhood. This loves shines through, despite the cruelty of the whites to the blacks during the colonial days of Rhodesia (described in very vivid terms) and despite the sense of betrayal that comes with the realization that the promise of a liberated Zimbabwe as a model of African democracy was only a pipe dream. Throughout the book, I sense a passionate optimism on Doris Lessing part. It is as if she believes that Zimbabwe will live up to its potential of being a successful state. It is as if she believes that Zimbabwe will still turn out to be the exception among the failed former European colonies in Africa. It is as if she believes that that Zimbabwe will make it in the end. I am curious to find out what Doris Lessing thought of Zimbabwe’s recent history, from 2000 onward. I am actively looking for any of her writings that might share her thoughts on this. I say this because I felt like Doris Lessing was trying too hard not to be critical of the Zimbabwean black government, even at a time when most of the citizens could see through the machinations of those in power and how that was leading to the decline of the country. I felt she was still giving the government the benefit of the doubt when it no longer deserved it. I highly recommend African Laughter to any readers interested in the history of Zimbabwe. I give the book a solid 5 stars.

Earlier this year the Bogdanov brothers published Le Visage de Dieu, yet another book dealing with their ideas about the big-bang and pre-big-bang physics. This follows their earlier Avant le Big Bang, and L’équation Bogdanov : Le secret de l’origine de l’Univers? a book that they somehow got Lubos Motl to take credit for. I haven’t seen the new book, but it seems that it takes off from George Smoot’s comment that looking at the CMB was like “seeing the face of God.” Somehow the brothers have managed to get well-known cosmologists Robert Wilson, Jim Peebles and John Mather to contribute pieces to the book. In other Bogdanov news, I hear from a Paris correspondent that an interesting document has recently come to light, a report commissioned by the CNRS after the Bogdanov Affair made headlines back in 2002. For press coverage of this, see here, here, here. The CNRS critique, from November 2003 is detailed, harsh and devastating. For instance, about Igor Bogdanov’s thesis (which ended up being published in multiple copies in several respectable journals, including the highly thought of Classical and Quantum Gravity), the conclusion is “la valeur de ce travail est nulle”, this work is of no value. Update: For another informative article about the Bogdanovs, from this summer, see here.

An interesting project. Three ex British Navy dockyard bollards fastened to a central steel ball to form a table base. The lower end of the bollards, that would insert into a socket in the dockside, has been removed to allow a leveling screw and pad to be added. Two pairs of these now support large glass table tops. A door knocker made from a replacement hip joint and an upper femur brace. This was for an orthopaedic surgeon so very appropriate. A replacement hinge made for an antique restorer. An original on the right and the new one on the left. One of the original hinges had been lost and needed to be replaced in order to complete the restoration. The construction is unusual in that each side of the hinge is one piece of steel which wraps around the pin and forms a double thickness where the screws fit. Another hip replacement door knocker this time in titanium. These are the supplied prosthetics. The completed door knocker. The post assembly and pin were machined from titanium. This was again for an orthopaedic surgeon. December 2016.

It's very satisfying to be able to see the improvement in my product photographs over the past few months. : ) In other news, tomorrow will be another spotlight feature and Monday I will be absent from blogging as my husband and I will be celebrating our first anniversary. In honor of the occasion, here are some pictures of us from exactly one year ago on Monday.

Effort vers la nature Joseph Bernard came from a family of stone hewers; a grant enabled him to study at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Lyon (1881) then at the fine art school in Paris from 1885. He gradually freed himself from the decisive influence of Rodin and pathetic feeling and worked in an increasingly sober, monumental manner. Giving up the attempt at achieving realistic detail and turning away from clay modelling, he worked on dry plaster and directly on stone, as for this head. He was one of the first to return to working directly on stone and achieved denser volumes, simpler forms and very powerful archaic effects: the head is strikingly like a block of stone, mimicking its massive, compact nature. It can be seen as a mythical and, of course, primitive head. Known through an exhibition in 1908, Bernard was one of the only French sculptors to exhibit at the Armory Show in New York (1913), and a retrospective of his work was included in the Salon d'Automne in 1911. A perfect incarnation of the post-Rodin reaction, he carved out an independent path between the expressionism of Antoine Bourdelle and the classicism of Aristide Maillol.

Obviously the fact that babies cannot speak can flummox new parents as to the reason why their baby is bawling. Here is a checklist of the reasons why babies cry; eliminate them one by one to see the newborns’ cause for distress – 1. Hunger may be the most obvious reason why a baby cries – look for other signs such as rooting, smacking of lips and sucking of fist or fingers which are all signs that baby may be hungry. 2. A dirty diaper could be another reason for crying. Some babies seem not be bothered by a dirty diaper, while others don’t want to tolerate it for a moment longer than necessary. 3. Tired or sleepy. Parents may despair about this but it is inevitable – babies get tired and sleepy but cannot get to sleep by themselves; they have to be put to bed. Also overtired babies are more difficult to get to sleep. 4. A crying baby may simply want to be held. Cuddling with a parent, being held so they can see that beloved face and hear that voice, hearing a familiar heart beat and the unique smell of the parent; sometimes that may be all that the baby wants! 5. Sometimes it could be tummy problems like gas, colic, and so on that is causing the baby to cry.

Transportation, guide and activities: Our trips usually involve overland travel through Patagonia either by four-wheel drive vehicles or minibus, always accompanied by an English- or German - speaking driver (who at the same time acts as guide, mechanic if needed, and above all as an incomparable connoisseurs of the country). In general we try to keep daily travel times under four hours, and only rarely will it be necessary to have a whole day of travel only. In between there is always enough time to rest, to enjoy nature, to trek on foot or horseback, to visit special sites or to undertake other excursions. We can also organize trips that have mainly flight transportation whenever it is possible, we have some examples of these trip in our Luxury tour offer Overnight Stops and Catering: this respect, we like to keep our offer flexible. In most areas it is possible to overnight on estancias (big sheep farms, ranches) with excellent facilities for guests, but we also use hotels, hosterias and hostels. In general we pre-book overnight stays with breakfast. or hotels these consist of double room with private bath, whereas in refuges in the Torres del Paine National Park frequently there may only be dormitories and shared bathrooms picnic or packed lunch as well as restaurant dinner may be included if desired. Argentinian meals, food offered: our trips you will become acquanted with the local cuisine. At noon, since we are far from any restaurant possibility, we take a pic nic with us. On the Patagonian estancias we can try the good lamb barbecues, but also tasty stews and pasta. On the other side, in Chile and Ushuaia, we can enjoy delicious fish In case you are vegetarian, please let us know before iniciating the journey.

Jim here... When you consider the agricultural and marketplace practices that affect the food we eat (e.g., pesticide use in the fields, widespread irradiation afterward, and the contamination of produce from various sources -- not to mention some of the disturbing potentialities we face in terms of further governmental intervention into the food chain), it leads one to the conclusion that, if we really want to eat the best food ever, growing it yourself is a great solution. It's also cheaper to grow your own and, in my opinion, more fulfilling than purchasing it (if you have the time and space to manage it, that is). With all of these concerns (and more) in mind, we've launched a new series of interviews called "Know the Growers" in which I'll be interviewing organic farmers around the world on best practices in the field. Initially, we'll be publishing them every few weeks, most likely. Once we sell our home and are "full-time Pure Jeevan karma yogis," we'll be publishing them weekly (along with resuming our daily video series Know Your Food). I'll be publishing these organic farming interview transcripts on NaturalNews.com under their Citizen Journalist program. In fact, the first interview, a three-part discussion with Myra Goodman, co-founder of Earthbound Farm -- perhaps the largest name in organic produce in America -- is already posted: (Natural News has an article-length policy that requires longer pieces like these to be broken up into smaller chunks. So, we like to have our own archive where you can read the complete interview at once.) Myra's got some great things to say about organic farming, so I hope you'll invest some time in reading it. I'm very grateful to her for spending two sessions with me to discuss some of the issues we covered. The title of the piece is taken from a point she made that I found particularly telling: Organic farming is a relationship with the land: ... what he had to drop with the switch to organic was the macho idea that he should be able to grow whatever he wanted wherever he wanted whenever he wanted to. Conventional growers had grown accustomed to using this arsenal of chemicals to fight off all the weeds, fight off the diseases, make something grow faster, whatever they needed to do to get whatever they wanted, when they wanted, where they wanted. With organic, it s more like a real relationship where you have to learn about your partner and work in harmony... So, again, read through that interview when you get time and let us know what you think! * ??? * ??? * We're big fans of Natural News here at Pure Jeevan, btw. If you're unfamiliar with that site, it's pretty much exactly what the name suggests -- independent coverage on natural health, natural living, nutrition, and more. They receive roughly 3 million visits per month! -- largely because it's run with uncompromising integrity by Mike Adams, aka the Health Ranger. (Take a minute to follow that link, as Mike has an incredible story.) Here's a snapshot: Mike Adams & Wendi Dee at Raw Spirit Festival 2008 So, that's the big news of the day here at Pure Jeevan!? Got a question you'd like answered by an organic farmer? Are you an organic farmer who'd like to be interviewed? Know an organic farming operation you'd like us to interview? Email Jim at Rawdiant [at] Gmail.com and we'll see what we can do to provide you with the information you want! Below, we have included the original comments from this blog post. Additional comments may be made via Facebook, below. On February 27, 2009, wrote: Love this idea, you two are just doing some amazing work! deep bows of gratitude PS does my square foot garden count as a farm? so I am an organic farmer? On February 28, 2009, wrote: LOL Yes, Deb, you're officially an organic farmer. Could you talk for an hour about that square foot plot? Maybe I should interview you! Seriously, though, Wendi and I fully intend on obtaining land and producing as much of our own food as possible in the hopefully not too distant future. So, we have great personal interest in this area. And, on the practical side... as you know, raw foodies eat so much produce that it can become hugely expensive if you really want to commit to organic, as we do. So, it's a real win-win to be able to save money, learn and spread this knowledge, do the right thing in terms of environmental stewardship, enjoy peace of mind with respect to the food we're eating and our assurance that it's pure and untampered with, enjoy the outdoors and the sunshine, and also just stay in touch (quite literally) with the Earth.

I need to get better at writing little updates on here! The time just gets away from me. As I'm typing this, I'm thinking back on my day, and I'm fixating on the things that have bothered me (whiny children, dog accidents, messy house). . . But as I look through these photos, I see a beautiful life that we've created here at this house. And I'm feeling extra blessed tonight. Take a peek :) The weekend before last, we went to a fall festival at one of the churches in the community. It was an awesome event - hay rides, pumpkin painting, free food, horse rides, kettle corn, bounce houses, music. We had a nice time! The boys were still in their church clothes, and of course the first thing they wanted to do was paint pumpkins. By the way, Nolan loves to wear ties! He picks out his outfits, and he will be known to wear a plain white t-shirt with a tie on a random weekday. :) One morning, we decided to make Shay's pumpkin bread with marshmallow buttercream frosting. The boys helped me measure and bake, and it turned out really tasty! We gave it an A+. Out on a walk collecting acorns (they're each holding one up). Look at Ephraim's face! :) It is impossible to get them both to smile and look at the camera! I've added a few fall touches to our house in the past couple of weeks. This is one of my favorite paintings - a watercolor of a couple walking alongside Lake Michigan in the fall. I love that Gold Coast Chicago skyline in the background! This lit-up pumpkin might be my favorite decor piece of any season. It looks so beautiful at night! I bought it at Michael's last year. My friend Sharon dropped off a pot of mums and two pumpkins for our outdoor decor :) Such a fun surprise! On a Friday night at-home date :) We've been watching a lot of "Last Man Standing." Not the best show in the world, but funny and easy to watch. A few days ago, I tried making French macarons for the third time. I was so pleased with how they turned out! They are not easy cookies, and this is the first time they looked authentic. And man alive, the chocolate ganache in the middle was delicious! I'm getting excited to make another batch! However, that will have to wait because our kitchen is under construction! We started tearing it apart TWO YEARS ago, and it's remained in limbo ever since. Steve had a short fall break this week, so he had some time to work on it, and he's made a lot of progress! It's going to look so nice when the retro look is updated! I brought these donuts to MOPS on Tuesday. Mmm! Two-year-olds and stickers, haha! Yesterday, Nolan made his name out of Duplos. He has been doing some really incredible building lately! He still LOVES school time at home. He looks forward to it everyday, and he really stays engaged and interested in all of his workbooks. We did some uppercase and lowercase letter matching with ice cream cone cards this week, and he rocked that activity. He also knows how to write and spell all of the names in our family with no help. I love this stage! Last night, we were a little stir-crazy and went for a drive through the country to see the fall leaves at their peak. Pennsylvania is gorgeous right now! As cute as they come! Thanks for checking in with us :) Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

A recent article in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology reviewed epidemiological studies of rosacea in people of color and offered tips on how to better recognize its signs and symptoms in darker skin. While the treatment may be the same as in lighter skin, diagnosing rosacea in patients with dark skin types may be more challenging, according to Dr. Andrew Alexis, associate professor of dermatology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, during a session at the summer meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology in New York. Rosacea in skin of color is uncommon but not rare, according to Dr. Andrew Alexis, assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Columbia University, during the annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology. “The features of rosacea – transient redness that becomes more permanent – may be subtle and difficult to detect, especially on an individual with very dark skin,” he said. But patients may report flushing or a sensation of warmth in response to typical rosacea trigger factors as well as an intolerance of many products applied to facial skin, he noted.

About three months ago we were approached by a company that offered Jumbotron rentals to events. If you’ve ever been to a rock concert, fair, festival or any other large event, there is a good chance that you’ve seen what these guys have to offer. There service is very popular with events that need everyone to be able to see what’s going on in the front. So even the back row seats get a taste of the action! This company operates nationwide, and they wanted to be in every city—and we helped them do it! They help out event planners with their need for a big screen, no matter where the event might take them. A big screen is nice when you don’t have front row seats. If you’ve ever been to a concert, sporting event or music festival and had to sit in the very back you can understand! It sucks. Plus, sponsors love these things because you have what all sponsors dream of: a captive audience! No, they aren’t going anywhere. They just sit back and watch your advertisements. It’s no wonder these things have gotten so popular. Where else can you say that you really get a captive audience that you can advertise to? What about the radio? Switch the channel! What about TV? Ever heard of a DVR? The truth is, captive audiences aren’t seen much these days, and that’s probably why the switch to mobile is finally here; what I mean by that is, more people are searching on their mobile phones than they are on their personal computers! Isn’t that crazy? Who ever thought that would happen? Okay, I guess that’s an easy one. I did. So it’s easy to see why the advertising space on one of these large Jumbotron LED screens is so sought after. Where else do you get such a captive audience? The easy answer…. tada! You DON’T! And that is one thing we have learned about our new client and why they are looking for event planners who want LED wall rentals nationwide. They aren’t getting any less popular as time goes on, and we will probably see a shift in the next five to ten years to where you’ll see digital screens every where. You heard it hear folks, mark my words by 2025 we will all be seeing outdoor digital displays all around. It used to be billboards that were the new thing, but unfortunately with billboards you cannot have dynamic content and you cannot change the advertisement whenever you want, sometimes even remotely! It could very well get to the point where one day as you’re driving by a digital billboard it will scan your license plate, find out who you are, then advertise to you individually! Imagine that! It’s hard to envision but it is happening, and sooner or later we will be there. Websites are already doing it, and with outdoor LED screens becoming cheaper and cheaper, you will start seeing these things everywhere. I’d like to say a special thanks to Visual Impact Productions, for giving me an education on these LED boards, what they are, and where they’re going. I just hope they enjoyed their website! Until next time, folks!

Tip # 1: Memorize the Three "E.E." Diagnostic Questions (7 min/day X 28 days) Once you do this, you'll have confidence to speak to most people about the Gospel. Dr. D. James Kennedy's "Evangelism Explosion" strategy was to have his people ask certain questions of the prospect, designed to determine where the prospect's confidence was placed. Was it in the finished work of Christ, or his own works and performance? After practicing this 28 days, these will be "hard-wired" into your brain. "Have you come to the place in your spiritual life where you know for certain that should you died tonight, that you'd go to the 'Good' place, not the 'Bad" place'. " [Pause, let them think about it and give you an answer ...] "In other words [person's name], if you stood before God, and He say to you 'Why should I let you into my Heaven, what would you say to Him in that day?" [Pause, let them think about it and give you an answer ...] "Would you mind if I shared with you what the Scriptures say about this?" [If prospect says 'yes', pull out your tract or series of Bible verses, and read them together with your prospect.] Tip #2: Follow the "Ladder Method" for Meeting New People This technique is helpful in starting conversations with a stranger if you're doing outreach evangelism at community events, malls, public-access street corners, bookstores and parks, beauty salons, etc. Think of a conversation as the rungs of a ladder. Start the conversation by putting up the first rung. Say something for starters. It could be anything. For example, notice something about the person's clothing or something he's doing and simply make a comment: "Nice sweatshirt. Do you mind if I ask you what you paid for it?" If he answers with anything more than silence or a clipped response, try another "rung". For example: "That's a great price. But it's amazing what people will pay for clothes these days." Now, if the prospect puts up the "third rung" by answering in a conversational way, then you answer as well with the "fourth rung" with something that will carry the conversation forward. But if he answers in a clipped way or with a one-word answer, just end the conversation and move on, because he's showing you he's not interested in talking right now. You're not trying to witness to him yet or talk about God; all you're trying to do at this point is see if he's at ease enough to have a conversation. Ladies with ladies and men with men will have the best results with this, generally. Tip #3: "Follow the "F.O.R.M" Method for Meeting New People An alternative to the "Ladder" Method is the "Form" Method for meeting new people in evangelism. "F.O.R.M" stands for Family, Occupation, Recreation and Message. Most people are comfortable enough talking about at least one of these things with a stranger. But rather than asking a total stranger about his interests, begin by telling him about yours. Family example: "I noticed your boy's playing with a Power Ranger. My boys are 10 and 12. They can't get enough of Power Rangers." If the prospect answers, then you'll have a brief discussion. Try to move on to another of those four F.O.R.M choices: "I noticed your Roofer's Union jacket. I used to be in Local 633 out of Scranton, but that was years ago. How long have you been in the Roofer's Union?" Next, Recreation is an option. In fact, you may even want to start there: "Noticed your Packers jacket. They're doing great this year, aren't they? Almost had a chance to go to a home game." At any point, your prospect may decide he wants to talk to you further on his own. After 5 minutes, he will feel like he knows you well enough to be more friendly. When discussing "F", "O" or "R", be sure to mention that you attend church but don't dwell on this, just move on in the conversation. But before you both part, segue into "M", the Message by using the 3 Diagnostic Questions. Tip #4: Have a Tract in Your Pocket and Know How to Use It Certain gospel tracts are especially designed to be used in face-to-face witnessing. Carry at least two of these. When you speak to your prospect, don't just leave him with your tract; interact with him, using the gospel tract to do it with. Ideally, give one to him and hold one in your hand. Go through the included verses with him point-by-point. Remember, you're the one relating to the person, not your piece of paper. The witnessing Christians is called "an epistle [letter] of Christ ... written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the Living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart." (II Cor. 3:3). Your prospect needs to hear you speaking God's words. Ask him questions, digress from the script a bit, and then get back "on point". Most importantly, practice using the tracts you'll carry in your pocket so that nothing in them is unfamiliar to you. If you express confidence in what you're saying your prospect will sense that. Tip #5: "Point of Transcendence": How We Talk to People We Already Know One way of breaking the ice with people you've known for a long time but have never tried to witness to is called Point of Transcendence. Something that is transcendent "transcends" or goes beyond the sense realm of this world and points to God. It could be anything really, since all creation points to God and "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth His handiwork." (Psalm 19). It could be the beauty of nature that shows forth God's beauty; or the predictability of the seasons that show forth God's faithfulness, or peoples' sense of morality, of "right" and "wrong" that points to a moral Law-giver. St. Paul used a Point of Transcendence when he spoke to the Greeks of Athens (Acts 14:17; Acts 17:24). Here's a simple example of how to use this: Non-believer: "Isn't nature amazing?" You: "Yes. It seems to show an intelligent design, doesn't it? How do you manage not to believe in a Creator when nature is so amazing?" Continue reading other blogs?

Awesome New Republic - Rational Geographic Vol I & II My Thoughts: Like () Not too long ago Awesome New Republic released the first installment to their Rational Geographic trilogy, reportedly inspired by the original Star Wars trilogy and the past 30 years of the American Government. That's if Wikipedia is to be trusted. Interesting idea, but it would be rather moot if the music was lame. Thankfully, the first and second installments (the latter will be out next Tuesday) give us reason to care about the inspiration. The first of the two starts out with a short little piano track which skillfully leads into an MJ inspired synthline driven groove out reminiscent of early house tracks (at times). The next couple tracks are a little more rock and roll driven, but they are still unabashedly lovable synthtrash. The outlier being Digital World which features an acoustic guitar for a large portion of the song. The six songs are fun and good, but I felt a little unfulfilled after listening to them. It just didn't feel like it was enough. Then, after hearing the second volume, I got a feeling for what they were going for, and the undeniably empty 80's sound that prevailed through the EP. The second volume starts out with a drum heavy, emotional piano driven track that is almost too much, but I still enjoyed the melodrama. The EP is has a very Scissor Sisters type of sound at times, emotional, dramatic, and unassuming at first, then synth-rocking out (specifically "Florida" and "Blanket of Light"). A very rump shaking EP. The tracks that are slower, almost hip-hop, grime tracks are still fairly engaging pop tracks ("Woman" in particular). It sounds a lot more full and thoroughly thought out than the first installment, but it actually makes the first part more fun than it had seemed before, because now there's a heavier thing to compare it too, so it's lightness becomes more darling. I'm interesting to see what happens with the third installment. You can grab the first installment here for free You will probably be able to hear select tracks from the second record on their myspace once it drops next Tuesday.

Very often it is during times of difficulty, intense change and crisis that positive change happens out of the stronghold of the crisis. This April brings a time of turning points, lessons learned, loss, letting go, moving on; as well as gaining what you really need and what is most essential to you. The word crisis in Latin means turning point. It is a choice point, and always brings a new direction. A turning point is directional, do we go back, to the left, to the right, or backwards… By the time there is a crisis or during one there is no going back. True crisis brings true choice. You have to decide the situation and circumstances require it. This year, 2020, is a double turning point year. A ten cycle is transformative enough with foundational changes, so image a “double turning point” year… Everything is doubled, made more extreme and it repeats… When a cycle repeats we can be more prepared. This month is a time of evaluation and re-evaluation. This re-evaluating is at a beginning and will be a focus this whole year. It would do all of us good to think: “this is just the beginning”… I don’t necessarily say the beginning of tragedy and pandemics, but the beginning of turning points, choice points and redirections of energy. At this time you will be carefully weighing things in your mind. The focus will be on what brings you more balance, harmony and peace of mind. Most of you will have a lot of synchronistic experiences and meet new people under synchronistic circumstances. There is a Divine Justic at play and a Divine Nonchalance… Faith, trust and a belief in something more will help guide your way. Bring your spirituality more into your life; as well as spiritual tools that help you on your path. You will also benefit by using spiritual principles, spiritual body-mind technologies such as sound healing, energy healing, reiki, acupuncture, color therapy, divination tools, numerology, astrology, sacred geometry, chakra balancing, and other holistic and metaphysical modalities. Soul Insights Affirmation: I am more than my physical body. I am a Divine Soul expressing and experiencing life as me. As I now express more of my Soul I attract more of what is of a fulfilling alignment to the genuine me.

Thought of the Day February 13, 202 Get rid of the old leaven We are told by St. Paul that we are to get rid of the old leaven. Jesus told the apostles to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and that of Herod. As we are about to enter into the Lenten season, this would be a good focus for us to have. What was the leaven of the Pharisees? Pride, refusal to believe, stubborn of heart, self-righteousness, elitism, held to the letter of the Law rather than the spirit of the Law, critical, negative and judgmental attitude. What was the leaven of Herod? Worldliness, sensuality, seeking to be self-satisfied, refusing to respond to the truth, when told, giving in to what others may think of him. These are just some of faults of the Pharisees and Herod. During Lent we are called to look into our own hearts and honestly identify the leaven within us that corrupts us, separating us from the relationship with God that he desires.

The name was chosen because it reflects the desire to make it a school that is very much at the heart of the St Albans community. Samuel Ryder was completely committed to the city, bringing business and employment to the locality but also getting fully involved in St Albans’ public life. He played a key role in the civic, commercial and community activities of St Albans not least through his time on the council and as Mayor. The values of innovation and hard work that he showed in his life will be key values of the new academy too. His creation of the Ryder Cup, and his love of golf, show that he also appreciated the importance of a healthy lifestyle and of extra-curricular interests – which will also be central to the new academy. Bryan Hanlon from the Samuel Ryder Foundation said: “The Samuel Ryder Foundation is delighted to be associated with the new Samuel Ryder Academy. Apart from donating one of the world's most prestigious sporting trophies, Samuel should be remembered for his achievements in business, horticulture, public service and philanthropy. For him, St Albans was "the centre of the kingdom.” Sir John Lawes School (SJL) in Harpenden are the lead sponsors of the new Academy which will become part of the wider Sir John Lawes’ Educational Trust which will sit over the top of both schools monitoring standards and performance. Sir John Lawes Headteacher, Claire Robins said: “Our key objectives over the next couple of years are to create a school that inspires confidence from its whole community and which enables its students to achieve more than they might ever have believed possible. We want to create a school where students are educated to play an active role in an ever-changing world and where they are given the skills to make a valuable contribution, locally, nationally and globally.” Francis Bacon Chair of Governors Mary Braham said: “The Governors of Francis Bacon support the name Samuel Ryder for the new academy enthusiastically. Though most people connect him with Golf he was much more than that as a modern man for St Albans, an entrepreneur, politician and churchman he had vision and community values for the people of St. Albans. He was dedicated to the improvement and the quality of his local community and worked tirelessly to develop that ethos. These are values the Samuel Ryder Academy will aspire to and promote.”

I had heard about about a BBC documentary on improvisation from the 1980's that featured an interview with Jerry Garcia. It took a bit of searching to track the video down, so I am linking it to it here for future reference. The documentary is called Derek Bailey: On the Edge and Garcia is featured in part 4 of 5. I watched a little bit of some of the other segments and it looks like an interesting film as a whole. The part with Garcia starts at about a minute and 45 seconds into the clip and runs for about 10 minutes. Derek Bailey: On the Edge (Part 4) from Andy Wilson on Vimeo. In related content, here's a link to a well researched New Yorker article by Nick Paumgarten on the recorded legacy of the Grateful Dead. Breaking from the norm a bit on this Sunday morning.

In the Holy book it was mentioned: On the earth are Signs for those of assured Faith, (20) As also in your own selves: will ye not then see? (21) And in heaven is your Sustenance, as (also) that which ye are promised. (22) Then by the Lord of heaven and earth, this is the very Truth, as much as the fact that ye can speak intelligently to each other. This is one of the drives that made me write about this subject: Memory & Cognition. Here, I will try to highlight one of our brains’ powers and the fineness of creation inside us. Knowledge is our best weapon to navigate through our lives and explore the Universe around us. Knowledge is the product of us(humans) over the ages gazing at things, watching events, observing natural occurrences, pondering about them… then , making our own theories in life and living, and finally out of our intelligence, motivations, dreaming, aspirations, and desires we managed to prove or disprove our theories and ended up making new rules and regulations to guide us towards a better tomorrow. Every new discovery we’ve achieved over the ages was in reality not new at all. It was new for us creatures, but not for the Creator. We are in essence exploring but not discovering, and that on its own is a great achievement we deserve to celebrate, feel ecstatic, and congratulate ourselves for it as part of our successes.

We interviewed Giovanni Soldini during his journey on the Maserati that set sail on 31st December and successfully beat one of the most exhilarating records in sailing history. The challenge faced by Giovanni Soldini and his crew of eight sailors reached a triumphant conclusion. They covered the 13,225 miles separating New York from San Francisco in 47 days, 42 minutes and 29 seconds to obliterate the previous record. The incredible feat was backed by Maserati, the main partner after which the boat was named, and the Swiss bank BSI (the Generali Group) and by Generali which were co-sponsors. The official suppliers for the challenge were Vodafone Italia, which supplied telecommunications services and produced the official website, Murphy&Nye, the sailwear brand that kitted out the entire Maserati team, Bulgari, which was the Official Time Keeper, and Boero Bartolomeo S.p.A., which supplied enamels and paints for the hull. Other sponsors on board Maserati included Eataly, which stocked the galley, Beta Utensili, which supplied all the professional tools, Corderia Lancelin, which provided special ropes and cables, FPT Industrial, which offered technical support for the engines, Jeppesen supplied the maps, B&G Navico ensured instrumentation support, and Cantiere Picchiotti in La Spezia was the Maserati’s home while on dry land and the port authorities in La Spezia provided the Maserati’s home once in the water. “We’re delighted,” said Soldini upon arrival. “The Golden Route is an historic, very important and particularly challenging record. Now it will bear the colours of the Italian flag. Maserati proved to be a powerful, technologically advanced and very reliable boat. The crew has been extraordinary; they were all very well equipped to tackle even the toughest situations. I would like to thank all my companions in this adventure and my partners – Maserati, BSI and Generali, who enabled all of us to make our dream come true.” The 13,225 miles of sea that separate New York from San Francisco when sailing around Cape Horn represent an historic route that was widely used by clippers during the gold rush in the mid and late 1800s. One of the most famous clippers is an exceptional ship from the Boston shipyards called Flying Cloud, which took 89 days and 8 hours to reach San Francisco in 1854, a record that remained unbeaten for over 130 years. After numerous attempts by many different boats, Warren Luhrs’ 60-foot Thursday’s Child docked in San Francisco in 1989 after 80 days and 20 hours. Then Isabelle Autissier made the journey in 62 days and 5 hours on board Ecureuil Poitou in 1994. Yves Parlier got the record down to 57 days, 3 hours, and 2 minutes with Aquitaine Innovations in 1998. This was the record that Giovanni Soldini and his crew were trying to beat with the Maserati VOR70; and they succeeded. Maserati was taken to the KKMI shipyard in Richmond, San Francisco, two days after their arrival for the maintenance required after covering more than 14,000 miles. Giovanni Soldini and the entire Maserati team will take part in the Transpac Race (www.transpacrace.com) from Los Angeles to Honolulu in July, which is open to monohulls and multihulls, with a delayed start from 8th July, depending on the classes participating. Maserati will set sail on 13th July. The race starts from the lighthouse at Point Fermin, San Pedro, Los Angeles, and ends in front of the Diamond Head volcano, Oahu, Hawaii (not far from Honolulu). Cosa la spinge nella sua passione per la navigazione? I’ve always loved travelling and sailing, so long trips on a sailboat combine my two main passions in life. What’s your diet like during the races? Eating properly is very important when sailing; it gives you energy. And of course eating nice things is also good for the soul. What’s your favourite dish when sailing? I usually eat pasta and brown rice but we also have couscous, vegetables and dehydrated meat on board prepared by the great chef Ugo Alciati. How is food stored in the galley? We don’t have a refrigerator because it’s too heavy. Cooked meals are dehydrated using a special colddrying process by chef Alciati and stored on the boat. Why did you choose Eataly to supply your galley? Eataly guarantees the best quality ingredients, and Alciati did an excellent job cooking and dehydrating the delicious dishes for Maserati. Do you miss anything about your life on dry land? Yes, loads of things, such as a refrigerator with a nice cold beer or a good wine. Chef Ugo Alciati – My freeze-dried dishes “Due to weight restrictions the boat doesn’t have a refrigerator and so I tried to find a way to make up for this. During Soldini’s race we reproduced a diet that had already been successfully tested, and worked out a correct daily diet that was divided into lots of small meals containing the right amount of calories. These meals were made with top-quality ingredients and then dehydrated. Industrial foods containing preservatives and artificial colours are usually used in these types of situations. They are dehydrated using heat which creates a granular product that tastes a bit like “chicken food” when rehydrated. So we got together with Criofarma, a company from Turin, which uses a pressure-based freeze-dying process that enables cooked food to retain its aromas and flavours as well as its colour and shape. This technology means that food can be stored at room temperature for more than two years. Starting with top-quality ingredients but without using additives or preservatives is what made this the winning solution, and thanks to our work with Eataly, the galley supplier, we succeeded. We prepared a range of different dishes for the race that were organised into a series of three menus which were alternated.”

I've been mulling this around in my mind for a while- letting it simmer, taking it apart and putting it back together in a way that makes sense over and over again. Usually when that happens enough times I'm like a pot that over boils and I eventually just word vomit on the nearest source (sorry blog, you're the victim). I tend to steer my blog away from anything political and keep it related to my family activities and latest DIY projects, but you know when you've had bad tacos on a road trip and can no longer hold back the spew so you just open the car door mid-drive and let 'er fly? (Oh...you don't?) Well, this is that. In light of the recent SCOTUS decision to legalize gay marriage, aside from the myriad of articles, memes, rainbows, and scripture quotes I've seen covering my facebook feed, I've seen a lot of hate. A LOT of hate- from both sides. And that makes me the saddest of all. Regardless of your stance on gay marriage, everyone on both sides needs to take a deep breath (and possibly also a Xanax). We are being so deeply hateful to each other- neighbors, friends, fellow members of our congregation with a differing opinion, and especially to strangers on the internet. I get it- we are a passionate people, our convictions run deep and we're not afraid to let others know what those are. But sometimes we forget that our convictions, beliefs, morals, opinions, whatever you want to call them are different, and just because yours are different than mine, doesn't give either of us the right to verbally obliterate one another. Trying to tear each other down and prove your point out of malice or bitterness is just going to drive the wedge farther down- and what good is that going to do? We all still have to live and work with one another. I believe the fastest way to destroy a nation is to divide its people on as many issues as possible- race, religion, economic status, sexual preference. We will destroy ourselves- forget any outside sources. I believe our right to make our own choices and have our opinions is one of the greatest gifts God gave us- free agency. How boring would life be if we all chose the exact same thing? I mean, Baskin Robbins and their 131 different flavors would literally not exist (gasp!). Life is like a journey across the ocean. We all get on different boats to get to the other side. When we have children, we teach them how to steer and manage the sails the best we know how- what we believe will help them best get through the current. People, for the most part, don't want to throw themselves into the shark infested waters- they just want to sail through the ocean the best way they know how. Generally we make the choices we do in life because we believe it's what will bring us the most happiness, satisfaction, and security. It doesn't always work out, but that's what life preservers are for. Not a one of us is perfect- sometimes we unintentionally slip off the boat. The LGBT community has been calling this recent decision a huge "win". But in so many other ways, we're losing- and big time- because of all of this hate tearing us to shreds. So here's what I want- from more than just the LGBT community- from all of us: I want us to have conversations about our different opinions without name calling, scoffing, belittling and sarcasm. One of my favorite quotes is "People too often listen with the intent to respond instead of understand." (That's paraphrased I'm sure). Just as important, I want us to teach our children how to have these conversations with each other- because they're certainly not learning it by our examples. Growing up, some of my very best friends had different opinions than I did (and still do) on almost every stand- but they were still my best friends. It didn't get in the way of our ability to have a relationship with one another. What happens to us as adults that makes that so difficult to do? I want us to respect the right we all have to differing opinions. The boat I choose to get across the ocean may be one of religion and the one man/one woman approach. The boat you choose may be so bright, shiny, and rainbow colored it looks like freakin' unicorn poop- but can we not wave at each other from the view on our different boats without ordering full on canon fire? (I just really like the boat analogy). [I feel like I should also clarify that the example I just used made it sound like there aren't gay people who are also religious, which I know isn't true- that was just AN example]. And here's the thing- I may tell you about my religion and the impact its had on my life, how it brings me peace and stability and you can listen to understand me. Understand ME as a fellow human being. And you may tell me about your struggles as a teenager to come out of the closet and how relieved and supported you feel with the new law- and I'll listen to understand YOU- because you're a fellow human being. And we'll both understand that at the end of the day, you will decide to stay on your boat, and decide to stay on mine, or maybe not- maybe we'll get on a different boat, but tomorrow we'll still wave to one another and be friends simply for the fact that we are human beings all just trying to make it through life. So all I'm basically saying is what I feel like I say 34,523 times throughout the day to my kids-

Diverse transportation - car sharing, e-hailing, etc features prospective to build 30 percent even more revenue by 2030 for automotive sector, says McKinsey report. Car organizations are trying to increase toward on-demand shared flexibility by attaching with cab service organizations. But the report mentions despite a shift towards shared flexibility general worldwide automobile sales will continue to develop, but the annual growth price is anticipated to drop from 3.6 percent throughout the last five years to around 2 percent by 2030. This aspect happens to be reiterated by Anand Mahindra, chairman & MD of Mahindra & Mahindra who believes that taxi-hailing apps including Uber and Ola could press some individuals into giving up on ownership of cars and pose a threat to auto business volumes. This risk will more coincide with much shorter life rounds for automobiles as they will be utilised way more heavily, on average, than these are generally today. In accordance with experts, living expectancy of an on-demand car is anticipated becoming only 3 years. This kind of a scenario, carmakers will constantly work towards technology upgradation in automobiles. It's not simply the carmakers that shifting towards this platform, also consumers' perception towards provided transportation is also transforming. Consumers today use their particular vehicles as all-purpose cars. Soon, they'll be looking more mobility in finding the right answer for a particular function, on need and via their Smartphone. As a result of this change to diverse mobility solutions, to one off ten new vehicles offered in 2030 may likely be a provided automobile. On this trajectory, one out-of three brand new automobiles sold could potentially be a shared vehicle as soon as 2050. When it comes to driverless automobiles, the report shows that by 2030 to 15 percent of passenger cars will likely be independent. This location will be also explored by non-auto companies like Bing, Apple. Google's self operating cars are generally going through testing phase on Ca roadways. Germany based Bosch can also be working towards creating technological marvels in your community of autonomous driving. German luxury car maker BMW, that will be celebrating its a century in 2016, additionally aims to lead the long run in autonomous technology in which motorists can choose amongst the pleasures of high-performance driving and letting the car assume control. Relating to a Mckinsey report, the forces that are likely to drive the future of automotive sector tend to be: diverse mobility and connectivity, independent driving, and electrification. In an interview with ETAuto, Terence Bryce Johnsson, Audi, worldwide selling Chief stated "autonomous automobiles are an incredible thing. About 95per cent associated with accidents are driver triggered ... and with this we can eradicate human being mistake in a vehicle. The past mile to influence that is going to be when the producer therefore the government could work collectively to solve infrastructure and resolve the legal aspects."But questions regarding exactly how safe this technology is take the rise after Bing's self driving automobile recently met with a major accident while dealing with examination phase. With increasing petrol and diesel expenses, and an ever growing concern for tackling ever increasing pollution, electrification is the only viable alternative readily available. According to McKinsey report, in 2030, the share of electrified automobiles (hybrid, plug-in, battery electric, and fuel cellular) could are normally taken for ten percent to 50 % of new-vehicle product sales. The speed of use will likely to be determined by the conversation of consumer pull (partly driven by complete cost of ownership) and regulatory push, that'll differ highly during the local and neighborhood degree.

“…I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. And now the prize awaits me—the crown…” 2 Timothy 4:7,8 NLT Within a fraction of a moment (I like to say nano-second), I went from my hotel room to a place I intuitively knew as the Belmont Races. There I was, standing at a horse racetrack. As fast as I had left, I was back tucked in my hotel room bed. I didn’t even know if a Belmont racetrack existed. Curiosity got the better of me so I decided check with Google. The results were astounding—especially since Holy Spirit spoke louder than the words I saw on the page instantly paralleling what I read to the life we live. I discovered there is a major thoroughbred horse racing facility in New York called the Belmont Park Horse Races. It is home of the Belmont Stakes, third leg of the Triple Crown and regarded as the “Test of the Champion”. To me, Triple Crown represented the Trinity of the Godhead: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (the great Three-in-One Who is King above all kings and most certainly wears the royal crown). Named after August Belmont Sr, the Belmont Stakes is the oldest of the Triple Crown events and one of the oldest stakes races in North America. (I’m sure that I don’t have to mention that our God is the Ancient of Days.) August Belmont Jr. became heir of his father’s vast banking fortune. Along with inheriting an avid interest in racing, he became a scholar of bloodlines. Champions passed through his stables. The champions named were: Man o’ War, Tracery, and Hourless. (Once again, names - and 3 at that - so symbolic of the Lord Almighty.) The first horse listed as one of Belmont’s champions is MAN O’ WAR. Immediately I heard in my spirit, “The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.” (Ex 15:3). and me. We are the branches formed on Him—and by Him. Jesus declared, “…you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.” (Jn 15:5). It’s the truth! We cannot run this race without Him, much less win. We can do nothing apart from Him! The next morning as we headed to a church we were visiting, I asked my daughter to type the address into google maps. “Ok,” she said, “Belmont Church.” Her words sunk like an arrow deep into my spirit, awakening the memory of last evening’s God-encounter and download. I hadn't made the connection that we were visiting a church called Belmont, but I was now keenly aware that God had a message for His Body of Champions. As we live in these days, this race of life will certainly be the “Test of the Champion”. Belmont is the third leg of the Triple Crown. This means that not all make it to this phase of the race. The Belmont Stakes are where Champions are crowned. This is a race for champions. Now, there is a vast difference between riding and racing. Racing takes a different type of rider. The scariest part of the ride is not the speed, but the horse’s strength. You can love a racehorse all you want in the barn. But, everything suddenly changes when you take them out to the track and swing a leg over their back. Power - like that of a tightly wound spring about to be sprung - will ripple through the horse’s body, and therefore through you, as the horse becomes all business. What seemed somewhat controllable in the barn, becomes unstoppable and unrestrainable. Church, we are about to experience explosive power ready to be unbridled as endless power and life ripples through Christ’s Body! Great jockeys cannot ride by sight. (They probably can’t see through the flying dust and grime anyway). Great jockeys must ride by proprioception. Proprioception has to do with positioning. Proprioception (alignments and balances of the “body”) allows riders the most direct communication with a horse. Nerves of steel, extra strength, patience, and aggression are needed to be a jockey. The same can be said for the Church. Running the last leg of this Triple Crown Race is not for the faint of heart. It is for Champions. In order to be victorious as a rider, you must ride the winning horse. A great jockey can’t win without a champion horse. This race is not really about the rider but Who the rider is with. Jesus Christ is the all victorious One. “…All things shall be subdued unto him … that God may be all in all.” (1 Cor 15:28). As the God of Glory thunders down the track, it’ll be all we can do to hang onto Him. Not because it will be a “barely” victory, not because we will “barely” make it, but because of the magnitude of His speed, agility and ability about to be exhibited. In an unprecedented display of sheer power, His grace will speed down the last leg of the track swallowing up every rival and contender that would dare challenge Him as He thunders to the finish line. Interestingly, Belmont’s champion horse, Man o’ War, suffered his one-and-only loss to a promising young colt named Upset. This became the most amazing upset in horse-racing history. But it is said, “the loss only enhanced Man o' War's reputation.” The Daily Racing Form wrote, "Without attempting to detract from the merits of [Upset's] performance, Man o' War proved himself in the running unquestionably the best.” The event that looked like the most amazing upset in world’s history, actually proved that Man o’ War was "unquestionably the best." As Jesus voluntarily chose to suffer this loss, he actually increased His rank, celebrity, and prestige. He became known throughout all ages as the risen Lord and glorified Christ. A stable boy once made this statement about Man o’ War, “He’s nice and he’s smart, but don’t ever try to force him or you’ll come out second best every time.” Satan had certainly forced his hand. It looked like satan won, yet he most certainly didn’t come out as victor in this battle for supremacy because “we see Jesus … crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man." (Heb 2:9). It was in this one “defeat” of tasting death that Jesus Christ became the Crowned One. Jesus, the mighty Man of War, became “the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.” (Col 1:18). The contest was over! Having disarmed powers and principalities, Jesus became the absolute and supreme Victor. What looked like defeat had only enhanced and raised the stakes! Through His suffering, He was “…bringing many sons unto glory…” (Heb 2:10). The prized champion, Man o’ War, sired many to become champions such as Himself. So, too, with Christ. He has produced champion sons and daughters. “…because as he is, so are we in this world.” (1 Jo 4:17). After his historic defeat, Man o’ War gained his revenge by many future victories against Upset. In true form, Jesus and His Champion Church are still winning victory after victory after victory against Upset. There is no one greater than our Lord! He is the ultimate authority! He is the ultimate power! He is the ultimate victor! In the Belmont Stake’s wording, “Here is the hallowed ground where Man o’ War left the crowd in awe…” This track of life is the ultimate “Test of the Champion” but this track is where champions are crowned. Get ready to be crowned as an overcomer. The Book of Revelation reveals the blessings given to the overcomer. That, my friend, is you! You are an overcoming champion if you are riding with the ultimate champion, Jesus Christ. Get ready to: set multiple world records, have recognized accomplishments, and win even under heavy restraint or terrible starts. We will see: miracles great in quantity and quality, divine encounters, healings without number, astounding provision, incredible signs, and miraculous wonders! What we’ve felt and seen to date is just a small ripple of the power about to be poured out. The Bride of Christ is about to be awed by the Man ‘o War, right here on this hallowed ground called earth. For this ride, all you can do is hang on! Just hang on—He’ll get you around the track! He’ll get you to the finish line where champions are crowned. You will be able to say, “…I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. And now the prize awaits me—the crown…” (2 Tim 4:7,8, NLT). Share this

Can you believe I was gonna originally post this on Monday? My senile ass is losing it. It was a friggin' treat watching this series. I mean obviously from the offset it had my attention, a Wednesday Addams show by Tim Burton, very much in my wheelhouse. And what I got was thankfully far and away from my reservations and fears, cause when that trailer hit I was like, okay guys...you're on the knife's edge of being a CW show please be careful. It played it's cards just right. So our story involves young Wednesday Addams having to transfer to a new school where fairly immediately a mystery pops up that she's hell bent on solving, taking us over the course of eight 45 minute episodes of humor, twists, intrigue, and more than plenty morbid dialogue. And I truly must admit, during that first episode I was teetering on the fence, I saw a lot that won me over but some stuff was holding me back, but then I took a good few paces back and looked at it. The Addams Family just simply has not had a show like this, it's digging into new grounds and therefore has the right to make it's own adaptation. It's own world, characters, dilemmas, and choices. Once I remembered that, at the 20 minute mark I was all in. I am saying it. I am not taking it back. Jenna Ortega, best Wednesday. Because she takes the core baseline of Christina Ricci's Wednesday and expounds upon it immensely, hilariously grim, highly inquisitive, more blunt than a dull knife, and endlessly entertaining. I cannot express this enough, she is flawless. I thought her bubbly roomate Enid was gonna grind my gears, nope! Cute as a button, bless her heart, she's great fun and that lovely cheery balance to a child filled with woe. Pretty great to see Gwendoline Christie again, Christ she is difficult in this show though but I understand that's the point, this hardheaded principal who holds much annoyance with Wednesday and is a hurdle for her to get across. The semi-love triangle thing I could have lived without, but Hunter Doohan and Percy Hynes White did do very well and were nice characters for Wednesday to bounce off of. When I heard Catherine Zeta Jones was Morticia I could picture that incredibly well and I will admit there is one scene with her and like duuude, her acting sent a blade of ice straight through my heart. Like a chill ran through me for just the briefest of instances so color me impressed. I very foolishly held reservations with Luis Guzman as Gomez and it took exactly 3 seconds of him serenading Morticia with a Buddy Holly song and I was sold. Needed more Lurch though. Bastards. And of course, we actually get Christina Ricci in this show, and she is sooo not a cute little cameo, and then bye we never see her again. She is in every episode! Thank you for that showrunners I loved seeing her. Obviously no spoilers of even a miniscule kind, but it will be super interesting to rewatch this season I mean that's how great mysteries stand the test of time, on repeat viewings do you still get something out of it? I felt it was a very competent and interestingly woven mystery of murders and monsters, I had some theories which were wrong but I pulled a Hail Mary theory throw and it by God stuck and it was the big secret reveal. Totally didn't have any back up evidence, I just got lucky as shit. Major props to the writers though for this dialogue, it really was everything I expected and more, completely what I loved, I was laughing consistently and strongly throughout. Also brownie points for totally just pulling the rug out at certain tropes, good ol' subverting expectations! Ooh there's this secret society in the school, found out about it early on and quickly moved on. Oh there's this rivalry between Wednesday and a more popular girl Bianca, they sort it out halfway through the show and work together. But there's this weird guy who was trying to off Wednesday and fortells of her doom, he gets sliced stone dead nowhere near the end of the show. I friggin' love that man! Anything but predictable. This is the way. Teeny tiny little note, the music choices though incredibly rare throughout, there is some good stuff right there buddy boy. Seeing Wednesday craned over her cello, belting out Paint It Black by The Rolling Stones, I genuinely believe I saw musical genius for the first time in my life. Hearing this downbeat, orchestral, almost dirge like rendition of Nothing Else Matters by Metallica is easily the best damn song in the show. Holy batshit that was fuggin' goooood! Even just the regular score music is mighty good, enriching and contributing to the gothic architecture, the bleak atmosphere, the cool dark colors, yet is still photographed exceptionally well. It never is too dark, or murky, or flat they knew what the hell they were doing. I'm serious man, I didn't hold high expectations by a country mile but I was incredibly entertained and fully recommend this series to anyone with even the most passing of interests in The Addams Family. Rightfully different from other adaptations, so damn funny, engaging to watch, and gold stars for our main cast. I was kinda hoping this would be a mini-series but it appears season two is at least alluded to, but hey I like this environment and Jenna in this role so screw it, I'm there. 4 stars, 8/10, and now comes the part where we shift from mysterious and spooky, to merry and bright. The cold touch of death beckons, sweet oblivion open your arms!! Wednesday, November 30, 2022 Monday, November 28, 2022 Rilakkuma And Kaoru was one of the most pleasant, wonderful, and enjoyable shows I've ever seen so I stepped into this show with love and happiness and I don't think it was in vain. Spread over a short but sweet duration of 8 episodes, each about 15 minutes long, we follow the misadventures of Rilakkuma, Korilakkuma, Kiiroitori, Kaoru, and young Tokio as they venture to a soon to be closing down amusement park and plans go awry. It's short, sweet, and cute. I really do not need much more than that. In terms of production, animation, and style I feel this didn't have as much of a budget as the first series but the vast majority of it is done very well. The colors pop, the animation is fluid, they throw in some traditional 2D animation for flashbacks, and the character designs are still great. It maybe didn't make me laugh as much as the first series, but whenever I did it was hard hyena-esque laughter, when something hit it just tickled my funny bone to the extreme. And you're not really gonna buy what I'm about to say here but it's true I swear. These episode cliffhangers got me more emotionally fuelled and loud than any television show I've seen in the past 5 years. Every single one. Like I was practically shaking my fist and wanting the next episode to start immediately. Probably just me but I don't care. Rilakkuma, still me hardcore. And I just have something to say here real quick man. I have never felt so personally and viciously attacked in my life, this show called me out, and the attempt on my life has left me scarred and deformed. Seeing Rilakkuma be too tall or just too big for rides, no desire or initiative to do stuff unless food is involved and always in the mood for food, literally used as a bouncy castle to sit on, that's getting a bit personal to be perfectly honest. He's fragile, very fragile. Our returning cast are still brilliant, I fully took up just calling Korilakkuma "Baby" because...she is Baby and I would guard her forever. Poor Kaoru couldn't catch a break at all, in fact a lot goes wrong for everyone throughout this show. Not in a mean spirited or even depressing way of course, just things don't go as planned. Our characters get sidetracked, lost, spend the whole day trying to find each other, they try to help this nice young lady which flat out leads to a car chase where it sounds like Misirlou is kicking in, there's a conflict for each episode. Which is incredibly intentional because the new characters we meet who work at this amusement park have tribulations of their own but are reminded a few times that you can still have fun even if things don't happen the way you planned it. That's something I am really and truly taking away from this in my heart, I mean that's a fairly good life lesson. Quick sidebar, I was a bit surprised how much kinda spooky scary stuff was in this, I mean yes there was an episode devoted to scary stories in the last show, but even I was a little weirded out with some of the stuff presented. Of course it's more from a childlike perspective of something scary, rather than actual horrifying terror so that was interesting to say the least. I know it's not for everybody, it's pure innocent fluff, but God dang it I was a very happy, entertained, charmed bear, I mean boy watching this. What a splendid way to enjoy a chilly autumn day, get you some good food, comfy clothes, a place to lounge, and tune in. I give it 3.5 stars, 7.5/10! Thursday, November 24, 2022 I was aware of the spectacular animated sequences used in this film, so I decided to throw it in this week. What I got beyond that though really grabbed my attention. So the film is more or less a visual representation of the eponymous concept album made by Pink Floyd, which was kind of a rough period for the band. You really can't discuss the film without discussing the album or more importantly the events that shaped the album. The band was having severe money troubles and their keyboardist Richard Wright was let go, compound that with a lot of emotional baggage the lead singer Roger Waters wanted to get off his chest from feeling incredibly isolated and not in a good mindset and steadily they formed one hell of an album. The film concerns the life events and deteriorating mentality of a character named Pink, and that's really all the plot that can be given. Because the movie utilizes so much music from the album and it is to personify emotions and events, there isn't really a story but a well constructed sequence of events. And I gotta say it flows pretty dang smoothly for the most part considering it is almost a visual guide I supppse you could say to The Wall. It didn't take all that long until we be jammin' to many great tunes, but even beyond that the film has great power in visuals and storytelling! It kinda takes on an anti-war piece for a good chunk of the film, dealing with Pink losing his father in the second World War and how he never had a true father figure in his life. I mean I could go through every section of the film and explain it but that really defies the purpose. It is an experience to watch this movie and I did find it emotionally stirring. Granted there is more allegory and SYMBOLISM than you can shake a stick at, but music is pretty much that anyway. The animation parts are absurdly well done, I mean I have never witnessed such flawless transitioning and morphing of objects and imagery in my entire life. When I told my mom I was gonna review this she asked if I had some LSD and magic mushrooms for the trip, and yeah it's trippy and the movie does require thought but it isn't nonstop psychedelia. Needless to say Gerald Scarfe and all the animators were geniuses able to pull all this off as well as they did. If they ever re-release this in theaters, get your ass in there! It's directed really well, there isn't much dialogue but it holds intrigue, the journey of Pink to break the wall and rise above is something I feel more people can connect with today than in 1982 which is funny because the album came out 3 years prior, and if nothing else you just get to hear Pink Floyd. That's not a bad experience. I know I'd love to dig through all their studio albums and after this I feel I can appreciate The Wall that little bit more, I know everyone raves about Dark Side Of The Moon, rightfully so it is a very great album, but there's more to explore. Hell, my favorite Pink Floyd song isn't even on any of the big famous albums, it's from The Division Bell their second to last album with Lost For Words. Absolutely beautiful and beyond real. But before I keep rattling on, I recommemd it, I very much enjoyed it. I give it 4 stars, 8/10! And oh sweet Jesus, is it that time...again?? I'm not doing it. You get one holiday movie and then I'm going off in my own world reviewing what I want. I'll see you in the frozen depths of hell you cheery, tree massacring, joyfully singing, lap riding, present giving, Saturnalia celebrating, happiness mongers! I really don't like them, no I don't. Wednesday, November 23, 2022 Needless to say the trailer for this pretty much sold me, a fantastical world with many strange, strange creatures. Let's go. So what did I think? It certainly deserves better than a 5/10 on IMDB, but I do have slight issues with it. So our story takes place on the town/continent/planet(?) of Avalonia where a group of farmers are recruited to travel to the center of the earth to seek out the quite literal root of their problem as their energy sources are depleting. Not super radical in terms of story but for Disney it is new ground. I like our main leads, you do feel the family dynamic and I'll admit the relationship between Searcher and Meridian was really dang sweet. Hell props to them for giving a quite cute blooming romance between two guys, if only for a brief moment. However! I have never seen a script so embroiled in a tug of war in my life. Because the plot focuses as much on generation gaps as much as this wonderful world, and at certain points I'm like, oh wow movie you're not going for some tropey cliches of bickering family members and them totally not opening up their emotions. We get some solid open hearted conversations that I feel are good discussions.....and then they ruin it. It's like every step the characters take forward which happens fairly often, every single time is pulled right the hell away and they regress ten steps back. So why should I believe anything they say and get invested when they turn their backs almost immediately on what they just said! It's so aggravating man. Now the character designs are fine, the environments are nothing short of fascinating and amazing to see, the creatures are so imaginative, and yeah the movie throws a curveball that I never suspected even though I was calling out elements of it early on unknowingly. So the visuals once again are the strongest point of the film, which is not good because they were soooo close to getting this dialogue and characterization down but just fumble it bad. And you spend the entire film with these people and their emotional problems to fix, so it hurts the score. Visuals, excellent crossing over into art at points. Story, basic but interesting. Characters, infuriating but have their good moments. Do I recommend it? Ah, it depends on the individual. This isn't new heights for Disney but it's decent and has a good message about environments and how planets themselves are lifeforms. So....I give it 2.5 stars, 7/10, and tomorrow we really diveboard into the bizarre and you'll be surprised what it is. Keeping you guessing for almost 8 years, I'm proud of that. Tuesday, November 22, 2022 I think this is my first review of a french film, I've seen a few bits of french cinema but never reviewed any so huzzah for adding another country to the list! This was so damn bizzare man, I barely know where to start. So okay, it is an adaptation of a novel where humans known as Oms are viewed as an inferior unintelligent race by an alien humanoid race known as Draags, and the plot is kinda Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes except with humans. A young Om named Terr is taken in by a Draag and learns their language and culture before meeting other Oms and spreads their knowledge about until it seems a war is brewing, which is unfortunate for the Oms because they are about the size of a paperclip to the Draags who are our natural human size. It's not really a film centered heavily on plot, the reason why people are aware of it is this weird ass animation style and designs. When I first saw it it heavily reminded me of the Monty Python cut out style of animation, but it is hand drawn with heavy use of shading and simple movement. The movement is fluid but the style is far from clean. The best and oddest way I can ever explain it is, you can almost feel the paper the animation was drawn on. And the designs are the greatest part! The Draags I feel were perhaps an unconcious inspiration for the Chiss race in Star Wars, blue skinned, with red eyes, but sans the small facial fins. The humans still look like humans but are dressed in rags. And okay guys, it's french cinema....you're gonna see nudity. It's not portrayed in any kind of sexual way but you do see breasts, and pubic hair, and genitalia. And you actually get a good sense of this environment you are thrown in, it's assuredly alien but you can piece together what something is for the most part. The environments and other creatures you see along the way are impossible to describe but I can tell a show like Rick And Morty took severe inspiration for the batshit weird designs of alien worlds and lifeforms. The soundtrack is funky weird man, 70s if I've ever friggin' heard it, and I would say it reminds me of Pink Floyd but even though Pink Floyd was experimental as shit this is just it's own style. It's a short film too clocking in at 1 hour and 15 minutes with credits so it's a quick sit. Not sure if you should be on any major substance abuse while watching it, but it's interesting to look at. It's not that I don't recommend it but I urge people more to look at pictures of the film more than watch the film itself. It's decent, but that is the main drawing point. I give it 2.5 stars, 6.5/10, and get ready for more acid fueled animation from our friends at Disney! Thursday, November 17, 2022 Jodie's era was fine. It was good. I harbor no hatred or disappointment at all for it. Jodie was a good Doctor, able to be eccentric and fun but never pulls her punches when she has to act serious or dramatic. Bradley Walsh is a damn king and I want you to acknowledge him! Mandip Gill I feel she needed more characterization but ultimately a decent companion. Tosin Cole...no real idea why he was hired, he really can't act worth shit, I hate to be mean but honesty can be mean. John Bishop, really funny and a wonderful average bloke to be thrown in the mayhem. Sacha Dhawan, marry me, I will call you Master and [CENSORED], you are absolutely magnificent in this role and I want you back already! Now onto the series. I still feel Series 11 is actually a really good series, only one episode is a bit dull but the rest I like just fine, they did so much new stuff and I appreciate that! Doctor Who has neeeverrrr looked as good as Series 11, even with future series it doesn't have that crisp cinematic quality to it, the cameras they used need to be the standard. Series 12, best series of the Thirteenth Doctor, bring on the Master, the new Cybermen (please keep that design for a good 5 years), and the Timeless Child. Oh yeah. I still stand by that one. And to all of you naysayers that claim, "Well now we know everything about the Doctor! There's no more mystery to the character!" to which I reply, okay smartass literally tell me everything about the Doctor from before the young abandoned child standing by a portal all the way to William Hartnell. Oh wait, what's that? You can't?? Mein Gott! It's almost as if the mystery if anything has deepened even more than originally conceived. What sorcery is this?!? In other words, shut the FUCK up Donny! Very solid series, picks up the pace, gives us new and old in a well formed package. Onwards! Series 13, horribly crippled by real world events unfortunately but not too bad, great new villain introductions, gave if nothing else variety each episode, and each repeat viewing helps the understanding of the juggled plot and characters. The specials, mixed bag but ends on a high note and I'm happy about that! Chibbers, I've seen your previous Doctor Who writing, you ain't the best but you're not the worst either. I'm willing to dive into your other shows to get better acquainted with your writing style. You gave us some cool shit, some of it was very slap dash in planning and execution, but you kept the show going and gave us a fun Doctor. Every show has it's ups and downs, Doctor Who is no fucking exception, but even the more rocky eras had it's fans and was shown love whether currently or in retrospect. I love all the Seventh Doctor stories, yes even Time And The Rani. I treasure Colin Baker and watch his stories happily even if they aren't all great. Paul McGann deserved more than a TV movie and a mini-sode, despite the more cheesy elements of the movie, he's really damn good if you listen to his audio dramas! Peter Capaldi is the best Doctor Who for my money, but I sure as shit didn't worship all his stories now did I? And who knows, maybe David coming back to give another whole spin of an entirely different Doctor, both to his previous incarnation and his first run, will win me over and it'll always be lovely to see him again, but I'm thinking in broad strokes towards the future. Not one series or two years into the future, but decades down the road. Tomorrow is another day and life is just a constant sequence of 5 minutes (until it's not), but you have to look beyond at the impact of it all. I don't think people are posing the question "What will (blank) be like in 20 years?" anymore and they really really should. This isn't the end for Doctor Who, just a lower point than most other series and eras since 2005, nothing more nothing less. It's good, at times it's amazing, and people will wise up to that fact. It's just a matter of time. Wednesday, November 16, 2022 So let's do this properly, Eve Of The Daleks the third and final New Year's special, how is it? I think it's a solid special, if I had to pick favorites I think Resolution is the best but this comes second. Set in a very budget friendly storage space the Doctor and crew have arrived in the midst of a time loop, and you think oh a Groundhog's Day style story with the Doctor constantly being assaulted by Daleks not a half bad premise, but I actually appreciate it's a slowly dwindling time loop so if someone dies it could be final. It's a fun little story with humor, plenty of exterminations, and easily the oddest Dalek story yet. I'll admit it took me forever to realize who Aisling Bea was because I've watched many a time The Big Fat Quiz show and she was a welcome treat, and Adjani Salmon I hear a lot of creep admonishing but I personally saw him as a shy well to do guy trying to get a relationship started so I took no major offence. It's a decent story and the whole Thirteen and Yasmin or Thasmin for shorthand thing, knowing that and watching allll the episodes beforehand I don't genuinely feel it was terribly tacked on. It can be seen as a more subtle under the surface romantic relationship rather than the petulant, please give me your dick, anvil drop that was series 2 Rose, and if anything it just further proves that no matter the gender Doctor Who is in for the vulva. Moving swiftly on! Now unfortunately we come to what I consider the absolute weakest episode of Jodie's tenure. I know, The Tsuranga Conundrum, Orphan 55, Praxeus, not very highly regarded episodes but Legend Of The Sea Devils is just so underwhelming and just....there. Like come on people, the Sea Devils are finally back and they look glorious, and you give this no stakes, plodding, nary a drop of interest story, I don't even think I can comprehensively recap said story. The Doctor, Yaz, and Dan meet famed pirate queen Madame Ching, who's unleashed the Sea Devils unwittingly who are really fucking with their shit, and there's sea serpents and ghost ships, and all this wild stuff, and....I...I got absolutely nothing. Very good effects, worst sword fight ever I said what I meant and meant what I said, bit more Thasmin scenes for you shippers out there, but ultimately useless and futile. Next! Ah The Power Of The Doctor, a whopping 90 minute goodbye for the Thirteenth Doctor, absolute fan wank overload and emphasis on the load (it's all over the walls boy!), fun, wild, loose, even a bit emotional for me, it seems so much closer to a 60th anniversary special. Again, not too sure I could fully recap the plot I mean so much happens and I feel if you try to break it down the whole story crumbles. All you need to know is Daleks, Cyberlords, and the Master are after the Doctor who in turn after losing Dan, which by the by what the hell I'm gonna miss him, reconnects with two past companions, Tegan and Ace as they try to thwart their plans. I haven't seen The Five Doctors but from more experienced fans it seems this is the modern series equivalent. Just a grand, fun, crazy celebration of Doctor Who and I really loved it. Seeing Jodie's regeneration was a big deal and not for the reason you might which dear God I have notes on that, so you know what? Screw it. We're gonna spoil it. Seeing previous Doctors was a monumental moment, the First, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, and well technically 14th Doctors was completely unexpected and I screamed just a tiny bit. Cause I've been delving deeper into Big Finish, so seeing David one more time as the First was a treat, Peter was great, seeing Colin made me scream like a fangirl, Sylvester made me shed a single tear when he talks to Ace because they are my favorite classic Doctor and favorite companion ever, and friggin' Paul being a rebel and looking dashing as ever made me grin like a fool. It may not be the most tightly written Doctor Who story but it sure as hell didn't disappoint or bore. So let's hash out this regeneration. Goddamn beautiful. Best looking regeneration ever, with the sunset, the colors, the rich flames, I was in awe! Jodie's goodbye, not super long or speechy, no flash or heavy emotion, just a simple embrace of the moment even though she wants to see what happens next. Lovely. And then David Tennant shows up. Fucking.....really??! No, just no, no I am not happy. You've literally made Thirteen nothing. It's an admittance that, yeah the Chibnall era was just shit, and Jodie's tenure is pretty much gonna be swept under the rug. You will soon know tomorrow how I feel about it. I'm already seeing ****s on the internet dismissing this period of history for Doctor Who, when she was The Doctor. Whether you like it or not. It's part of the history, there is no goddamn retconning, there is no fucking revisionist history, it happened! I was already feeling uneasy when Russell was announced as the next showrunner, something unprecedented in Doctor Who, but I was like well we're getting a brand new Doctor so it's nothing, don't worry about it. So you are telling me, the Doctor can reclaim a previous life, a once before seen incarnation. Well where in the high holy hell is my 6th Doctor revisit??? Are you shitting me up the asshole! Even Ncuti Gatwa seemed friggin' pissed in that brief trailer, and I'm right there with you man. It just seems like a titanic middle finger to this era, because Doctor Who is shit now guys so we're bringing back the 2006 era babaaaaaay!! Fuck's sake. Sort it or abort it! No I'm not quitting Doctor Who! I'm too damn commited to it, do you know how many classic Doctor Who boxsets I have?? Like a MILLION! But I damn well expect these specials coming next year to be a farcry from the Tennant era. I'm not playing around. That was good to vent, I feel a bit calmer, not so irate, so let's wrap this up. The specials are a bit mixed, I never do individual episode ratings but if I did Eve gets a 6.5/10, Legend gets a 3/10, and Power gets a 8/10, so overall the specials get 3 stars, 7.5/10. That's it for Doctor Who! Unless I'm gonna do Classic Who, and if I do it won't be in order, the boxsets are kinda all over the place so it would be pure chaos jumping backwards and forwards in time. So if you want it we'll do it, at least one season per Doctor whenever a Second Doctor boxset gets released and my God that might take a minute, poor Pat's lost so many episodes. And on that bombshell, it is time to end. One final retrospect to go. Tuesday, November 15, 2022 Very unprecedented this week of reviews, the time has finally passed where Jodie and Chibby step down from the show and an era has ended. It's quite a big deal, for me anyway, cause okay yes Peter was the Doctor when I started all this but I didn't start reviewing Doctor Who until Jodie had started her tenure so it feels appropriate we look back on Flux, review the Whittaker specials, and do a retrospect on her era. So season 13, how was it on rewatch? I wouldn't say it improved but it didn't drop in quality either. The pacing got more understandable and I wasn't running at warp speed to keep up so big plus there. If you've only watched Flux once all the way through, watch it again you'll have an easier time. It's just such a tremendous shame that this only got 6 episodes and is part of that big what if category of Doctor Who. What if Colin Baker continued on for a bit more, what if Doctor Who never got cancelled and the wilderness years were no more, what if Paul McGann got proper visual adventures, and what if 2020 wasn't quite literally the worst year any living person has endured? I think series 13 would have been really good if the shooting schedule didn't get slashed and burned so much, 10 to 13 episodes instead of a meager 6 could have made a universe of difference. And I should know because I'm still salty as fuck about Gotham's last season. Bastards!! But now that the dust has settled I do still like this series. The villains are still cool, the wide range of cast isn't as difficult to keep up with, Jodie I think does very well and is waaay more serious and even angry at points so I must commemd her. Special effects are still damn impressive, it's not cinema quality but considering they are on a BBC budget, very fine work indeed! Best episode for my money is Village Of The Angels, it just works so well with that horror atmosphere and doesn't try to juggle too much. Plus that ending is like for real for real, one of the best cliffhangers I have seen in modern or classic Doctor Who. Weakest episode, though frankly I don't hate any of them, I'd say Survivors Of The Flux though it does still obviously give a lot of interesting and unique ideas, it being a comparitively Doctor-lite episode makes it a bit of a sit. But welcome additions are found in every episode from new lore concerning the Angels, to the introduction of Bel (who is so damn pretty oh my lord) and Vinder plus the reintroduction of my love Kate. Don't even get me started, Captain Jack would be proud of the thoughts in my head so let's move on. This is a brief PSA, watch the Spoilerific Reviews of VoteSaxon07, he is goddamn amazing and he's done all of Jodie's episodes so internet, do your work. Now this is incredibly unfair but yes, series 13 is the weakest season of the modern era. Can you really blame it though due to the production? It's not a full series, it wants to tell a grand scale epic story but doesn't have the time to tell it, and there are some parts I wish they didn't rush (Division) but at the same time every showrunner wraps their stuff up before the next comes. Though Chibmunk sure gifted Russell and future writers a present bomb in the face with that watch. I don't hate the concept or implications, but it will be a fascinating story detail to keep an eye on. It's a decent additional 6 episodes of adventures in time and space, and not a half bad way to kill an afternoon, but I just hope people don't judge it super harshly in the future. Television is some hard shit to make let alone a programme over 50 years old. So join me next time, for a much needed expansion on the last New Year's special and the subsequent two specials capping off with a regeneration. Friday, November 11, 2022 Not only is this a sobering film to watch, today is also the day Kevin Conroy has passed away so I'm in a severe grieving state for the Batman and the Black Panther. And this was really the last movie I wanted to have nits to pick at, not at all that it's bad far from it. As a tribute, as a goodbye to Chadwick, it's done damn near perfect. I mean....fucking chilling, impactful, could hear a pin drop in that theater effect. Oh my God! And as a continuation of the MCU and seeing Shuri step up to the mantle, it's good! I have notes but I couldn't bash this movie, I feel it almost gets a pass from critics because of the tragic real world events that capsized whatever the original Black Panther 2 was going to be and it is a stirring good piece of drama when it deals with that. I just hate that it tries to be business as usual after some grieving, yeah I'm going there again and I feel I have even more of a case this time. I know it couldn't have been this mourning, drama filled, character piece for Shuri for the whole almost 3 hour runtime. And indeed there were moments when there were lines that brought levity, a smile, a chuckle, but I just wish Marvel would have just said screw it. No jokes for jokes sake, we're gonna tell an emotional gripping story about the death of a king and a kingdom trying to pick up the pieces with more an emotional debate on if Shuri will be the next guardian of Wakanda. They just can't man, I feel it's almost compulsive unconcious behavior, if you put a gun to their head and said write a movie with next to zero humor they would end up with a slug in their grey matter. I just really wish they pushed this to uncharted territory, cause the rest of the movie isn't half bad with this....okay, James Cameron could have a very possible case for theft of intellectual property cause, it really goddamn is the water dwelling cat people from the upcoming Avatar film clashing swords with Wakanda. They have neat elements to them with a very cool Mayan background, but that's what they are! Their leader does fall into that average Marvel villain trope, there be no Thanos or Vulture fascinating personalities to be found here. However, the acting from everybody down to the extras is rock solid. Super well done and able to convey what they need and sometimes even more. And I love how our leads are all the women we got to know from the last film! Angela Basset, that woman has my heart and my allegiance forever! I was so happy to see more of her this time around and she is glorious to behold in every aspect! Letitia Wright damn near carries the film by herself, I mean I don't think she had to do all that much acting and to see her journey to when she puts that suit on is great. Danai Gurira and Lupita Nyong'o while more secondary characters had nothing but my attention and passionate want for them to succeed. Tenoch Huerta does admirable work and I do understand his reasons for why he does what he does but I feel there was just something missing from the writing. Also, major props to everyone who learned to speak these dialects and alright movie you get points for having substantial subtitles throughout. The visuals I must say are outsanding, from the cinematography, to the environments, to the flawless costume design and color palette, it's a feast to the eyes! The score, holy shit balls both the actual score and the soundtrack, wow man! I dig it. Unfortunately the above mentioned notes I have slip into spoilers so I can't divulge much, I can tell you however this movie upset me. Like, almost rage levels upset me. Not on any aspect of production, or they bullshit about with the source material, I was just out for the villain's blood. Thank Christ they didn't try some Romeo And Juliet horseshit with Shuri and Namor, I would have been far more aggravated. It's good, I do like the first movie more and feel it juggled serious and funny better, but the emotional crux is hard to brush off because they handle it so well and I do hope it won't be the last we see of Wakanda. I give it a solid 3 stars, 8/10, and I need a long lie down after today so until next time. Wednesday, November 9, 2022 It's hilarious how with the whole Phase 4 thing still going on it does seem like people are finally getting a bit tired of Marvel and are saying man they're starting to get in a rut, and I'm just over here like this isn't complete horseshit I quite like this! Sooner or later all things pass into my domain, when they're outdated and nobody likes it anymore. Real talk, when I heard we were getting a She-Hulk series I was on board hard fucking core, you don't need to tell me anything else, if I get more Hulk stuff I'm happy. So week after week I tuned in and watched and I have to say I thought it was a solid series, not perfect, but better than I think most of the internet (twats) give it credit for. Spread over a short span of 9 episode each roughly 35 minutes a piece, we follow the life of Jennifer Walters who after suffering a car crash with her cousin Bruce Banner, is infected by his blood and takes on a familiar shape. We see her get some Hulk training, how she's trying to juggle both identities and is incredibly reluctant to show her powers, some superhuman court cases, and a finale that made my brain melt a bit. First of all Tatiana Maslany is wonderful as Jen, terrific comedic timing, gets the emotion through, is a fun and interesting lead to follow, and a quite lovely lady woman. I think the reason why this show worked so well for me is just because it's so un-Marvel, it really feels like uncharted territory for them instead of what even fans of the MCU would deem formulaic, it's a comedy show first and is just a bit of entertainment fluff to enjoy. The effect of She-Hulk didn't at all bug me and I felt it was handled quite well, I know we haven't reached that point where we've left the uncanny valley but they did good with transformations and the look of her throughout. Being a character inherent of 4th wall breaking (sit and spin Deadpool you hack) also helps differentiate this show a great deal and it was a major highlight for me. All our supporting cast whether originally from this show or not must be applauded too, Ginger Gonzaga was awesome and you can effortlessly feel that friendship between Jen and Nikki, plus it lools like she's having a wild time in this role so rock on. Also thank you Marvel for legitimizing the only Hulk movie under your belt (rectify that shit by the by) with bringing Emil Blonsky back, Tim Roth really was one note in that movie and to see him bring a very enlightened aspect of this character into the forefront was very cool. And my guy, my home slice, my sweet cheese, my good-time boi Wong how I have missed you! He seems more grumpy in this show but that only makes me love him more, and I am saying this now and standing by it forever! Wong and Madisynn, best MCU couple, wind in the sails ship it, so let it be written so let it be done. I need a whole show of them, writers do your work, Wong has a girlfriend now and let's see more of his pad and his TV habits. And I know everybody was just pulling their dicks out for Daredevil in this show, but I never watched his show, he's not Ben Afflec so I don't know him. I may need to now! Charlie Cox really kinda swept me off my feet here, his energy, his performance, his chemistry with Jen, I was surprised how much I liked seeing him here so who knows I might buckle down and do the not-Netflix Marvel show sometime in the future. And slightly speaking of which, I'm proud of you Jen, you were getting some hey hey in this show and I for one fully believe in a level playing field so get you some, do a bit of female gazing, find a sexy man who you can also appreciate all aspects of and he can do the same for you. I do find it quite fascinating how this show takes a psychological view into a Hulk but not in an overt artsy way somewhat akin to the Ang Lee movie, Jen is trying to make peace with both her halves and finds it hard to see people rave about She-Hulk but care so little for herself and that sucks man, so fair props to the show for wanting to go there and make it much more personable. I mean yeah sure on the surface level it's just a person who can turn into this green rage beast, but there's a ton more to look at under the surface and I appreciate that in any variety. Talk about relationships, mental health, how women think and feel in this modern world, how Jen herself is handling everything. And people can bitch and moan all they want about, "Well I don't want this in my escapist fiction, oh it's just man hating feminism gone mad, blah...blah...blaaahhhh!", and I got news for you sunshine. Real people, real individuals, living in this real world make these stories. There is no stark bold line, there is no fourth wall, experiences and mindsets go into every single creation in media whether conscious or not, and Marvel has always had the identity of giving superheroes real world problems to make them seem closer to us the audience. And for the man hating thing, I give unto thee the examples of Wong the Sorcerer Supreme and keeper of my heart, Pug who may be an idiot but he's a nice idiot and gets along well with Nikki, Emil who quite literally has opened a help group dealing with emotions and working through negativity, Bruce who while has some conflict with Jen cares about her immensely and the brief talks they have about this beast inside them was extremely well done, and Matt who is a charming, nice, partner in crime solving friend with Jen, all quite human but ultimately nice. Is the season very cohesive? Mostly. Is the finale a bit out there? Absolutely, yet in my super brief research She-Hulk's comics often shatter the fourth wall into rubble very much like that episode. Will it stand the test of time decades from now in terms of social media, current mindsets, and it's particular storytelling? Well impermanence is the name of the game of life my friends, so I just don't know. But I can tell you this, in a sea of opinions I am just a grain of salt amongst countless others. I felt it was a light, fun, enjoyable series, I would not mind at all seeing a second season, and you bet your ass Imma' gonna be saving up for a She-Hulk omnibus. 3 stars, 7.5/10, and next time we must pay respects to our king. Monday, November 7, 2022 I know it probably surprised people that Marvel has had pure horror devoted comics, but even in my ever so slight knowledge of their history I was familiar with the comics with connections to classic monsters, Werewolf By Night, Tomb Of Dracula, and The Living Mummy, but it was still a bit of a shock seeing them adapt it. And for a special not even an hour long it does a fair bit and tells a one shot comic story where a group of monster hunters convene to obtain a powerful mystical jewel and find there is more to this hunt than they thought. It's short, it's sweet, shot in glorious pristine black and white film grain and all, I had a great time with it. Obviously the cinematography gets a lot of love from me, to see good old black and white horror look so crisp and hi-def was genuinely something I'd never thought I'd see, with lighting that's taken from german expressionist horror, sets that would make Universal proud, and creature effects that only use computers when necessary. The characters for the majority are just kinda there, not poorly acted but a body count has to rise somehow. John and Jovan had great personality to them, and while Elsa was just kinda one note bitchy for the beginning I can fully see why she grew up that way with her **** of a step mom and she did start moving towards likable near the end. Tiniest of tangents here but John flat out was giving me slight Papa Emeritus from the band Ghost vibes, maybe it was the clothes, maybe it was his physicality, but all he was missing was a Vincent Price moustache and shazam, the singer for Ghost! He doesn't even need to hunt monsters, he can just charm them by singing Cirice! And I love our monster friend who looks like a mix between Cthulu sans wings, and Swamp Thing, and his name is Ted. I would give Ted a titanic tight tackle of a hug. Hands down, bloodiest Marvel film I've ever seen. I mean damn they aren't afraid to show some grisly ass shit man! I had no idea blood could be considered art but you see these arcing flows of arterial spray and splatter and it looks impressive I gotta say. I am fully 100% expecting a Tomb Of Dracula special next year and they have to go Hammer visuals, we got our Universal Monsters look here so we gotta jump forward to the bleak gothic atmosphere and rich vibrant blood color of the 50s and 60s. I'm not sure if there has ever been a collection or omnibus of the Marvel horror comics but I'd love to get my hands on one and read all the issues. But as for this special I give it 4 stars, 8/10! Next time, my most anticipated Marvel project since Multiverse Of Madness. Thursday, November 3, 2022 Seven and a half years have passed since this journey began, and welcome to the 1,000th review. I've never quite had an experience like with this show. When I heard tale of Amazon making a Lord Of The Rings series I was really taken aback and wondering why would they make a series when we have 3 films for it? Yet as time passed and stories and conversation of the show died down I forgot because I must and moved on with life. Then a change occured, the series was approaching fast and while my knowledge on it was limited I discovered it was taking place over 3000 years before The War Of The Ring, set in the second age of Middle-Earth, then it had my attention. Trailers started coming out, intrigue and excitement grew, I delved HARD into Tolkien from days gone by. Re-read all the books, the anticipation of this show made me read and take notes on The Silmarillion. Twice. All the live action films in a marathon fashion. I strayed out of thought and time, revisiting old favorite video games from Peter Jackson's trilogy. I'm such a dork I procured a ring of power myself, the ring of a Necromancer from the fortress of Dol Guldur. I was all in for this show, but what can a reviewer do against such reckless hate? Naysayers, turn away now. There is no vindication or victory for you here, my contempt for such individuals who banished even the thought of perhaps an entertaining return to this good earth before the series began is unfathomable. I would cast every single vehement, closed minded, and rage stained creature into the Cracks of Doom itself a thousand times over and a thousand times again. The game has changed and this is the beginning of a new era for my show. Get off my fucking planet. Never once has there been a disclaimer in any visual medium that said "This is a complete and accurate transition from page to screen", I've been to the movies hundreds of times and seen my fair share of shows and that's never occured. It's an adaptation, deal with it. With that being said, shall we begin? We start off with a quite strong intro, Silmarillion fans rejoice, with some backstory of course told by Galadriel regarding her last living brother Finrod, who after the Two Trees of Valinor are destroyed and the original great evil Morgoth waged war for countless years, is killed by Morgoth's most trusted servant Gorthaur who took on a new name that of Sauron. Centuries have passed but Galadriel still hunts the evil, with more inner demons to face than external ones as she travels to previously unexplored lands and gains unexpected allies. That's the main story but we follow a myriad of characters, including proto-Hobbits known as Harfoots and a visitor who fell from the stars, an elf named Arondir who watches over the Southlands which is the target for a new enemy, and soon to be elf lord Elrond reuniting with an old dwarven friend Durin as matters grow dark for elven kind. Now I have heard criticism for basically the juggling of these 4 stories but I don't have any wisdom to share with how I would have done it, I found it to be good yet obviously a bit scatter brained so I'm not too sure on how best to improve that. There was no single story I wasn't invested in and while it took awhile to learn these new characters names, I felt the acting all around was very good even though I knew precisely one actor in this entire damned season yet at the same time I am impressed with how much unknown talent was presented here and you may find each main character has a secondary mate. Morfydd Clark as Galadriel is such a strong presence and I fail to see any reason as to shun her performance. This is a character who is clearly flawed and has an arc and a journey to her. She is headstrong, she is quick to anger and battle, she has a tunnel vision goal to eradicate evil, and the two big conversations we have with Elrond and Halbrand were major highlights of the show in terms of writing, because they ask why do you always fight and hold such anger, and the brilliant part is Galadriel doesn't fully have the words to convey it and is trying her best to do so, bringing up traumatic and sad memories to justify herself. I've heard great dismay over gladiator Galadriel but those conversations put that firmly to bed. Plus....she kinda scares the shit clean out of me when she just stares right down the barrel of the camera, like I am genuinely unsettled staring into her eyes. Excellent work good lady. Charlie Vickers as Halbrand does start off as a semi-Aragorn wannabe but how his character progresses quickly breaks that mold and he presents that enigmatic quality quite well I find. Robert Aramayo, by episode two I was like that's Elrond. No question or doubt, no hesitation, no exaggeration, he is goddamn perfection as Elrond 120%! Owain Arthur alongisde him is the heart and soul of this series, even hateful bastards cannot say bad things about Durin and Elrond, their friendship is so powerful and ridiculously believable I teared up a fair bit with them on screen. Markella Kavenagh as our wandering brave hearted Harfoot Nori very quickly had my heart, combine that with Megan Richards as her BFF Poppy and I'm over the moon. Guard them, cherish them, keep them safe, they are the reason why the Harfoot story never feels like filler. Ismael Cruz Cordova fits that stoic yet vulnerable elf role very nicely and yeah I was just waiting for him and Nazanin Boniadi (who I swear just looked exactly like late 80s Winona Ryder) to hook up, as elves and humans oft do in this world and the threat to the Southlands is the big central conflict of the season. So of course let's talk about our commanding villain Adar, shock of all shocks I know but he was hands down my favorite character, played in a very quiet yet strong menace by Joseph Mawle. Man oh man did he knock it out of the park, because he clearly backs the evil side here but he is still an elf and that's a great dynamic conflict, how he treats Uruks with respect and compassion, how he honors elven traditions and still treasures light and life, just oh my God what a character! Screw that cliffhanger with him though, I was not amused by that. Also, titanic sized shoutout to all the actors in the orc makeup, those guys are fantabulous in every instance they are on screen, no friggin' wonder Adar staunchly vaunts for them. I know it may be pointless to praise a show's visuals and aesthetics when they have a surplus of one billion dollars (cue Dr. Evil finger), but it's true. The show looks stunning in all it's aspects. You want gorgeous landscape shots? Check! You want sprawling works of art for cities and architecture? Deal! You want creatures, costumes, and props made with subtle but excruciating detail? Say no more. So yeah, let's move on. There's just so damn much to cover in an epic series like this and I may have to submit to a lightning round of opinions and observations, context be damned, just to put everything on the record so here we go. Creepy ass cult looking bastards dressed in white, awesome. The origin story of mithril, holy shitballs! I thought the actor for Celebrimbor was in either Star Trek Next Gen. or Deep Space Nine but I was mistaken. The actor for Gil-Galad looked like McGee from NCIS, have fun getting that image out of your head! The second to last episode seemed oh so much like an end to the first season with every party gearing up for the next step in the adventure, even more so with the Balrog awakening and then cut to black but hey the last episode knocked my socks off and honestly unearthed feelings I have never experienced before. I want so many props, the not Morgul blade, Adar's gauntlet well pretty much his whole costume, the mithril shard, soooo many articles of clothing, come on internet do your work. Oh my God how could I forget, Disa. Whoa man! I need a woman like that in my life hard fucking core, that is a queen good buddy! I'm happy that sniveling little shithead kid got murdered even if it was offscreen, kill the twats, kill em' all! I really wanted our magic man to not be who we all thought it was, it was far too obvious, they could have just dropped one of the two blue wizards on us for bonus points but oh well. Pretty brutal at times I gotta admit, I mean shitting hell this show gets bloody and I'm for it but at least once it just dug under my skin and made my jaw drop man, ho mah gawd and da baby jeezuz! Those asses did it to me again, you pulled that Lost In Translation shit on me even here! In the last bloody episode! I hate you, you don't split the party, every player worth his salt in Dungeons & Dragons knows this! Sum' bitch. Apparently the soundtrack was done by the guy who did God Of War, that's pretty sick and he did amazing work with particular favorites of mine being the dwarven music and that freaky ass cult whisper music, hell to the yeah. By the by, did anyone buy that Bronwyn and Theo were mother and son because they sure as hell looked more like siblings to me. Can we also just discuss the rampant racism against the elves in this show, cause everyone and their mother just has this grudge against pointy eared people which is interesting, because the elves in the films are the ones a bit on the racist side. Also, I don't fully believe this series is indeed a precursor to the Lord Of The Rings movies and by extention The Hobbit movies as well, it takes elements from it but I also saw me some elements from the Bakshi animated film too so take it with a pinch of salt. That Evil Dead shot was pretty sweet. Oh seeing Valinor open, that was kind of some scary haunting shit, you want to talk about cults I was half expecting the elves to start passing around the magic Kool-Aid! And the thing with Celeborn, I don't buy that for a second, he's fine, he'll be in Lothlorien in...a few hundred years give or take. I did have but one simple request for my wishlist, and I didn't get it and certainly not in the fashion I was expecting, I'm not upset but my dreams of Annatar the Lord of Gifts have been dashed. The people who read this who haven't even touched the books must have so many confused looks and questions but, knowledge is present everywhere, use my knowledge I beg you, springboard into the lore it's groovy stuff even if you just Google a name or location. Do not however become these book thumping, entitled, mightier than thou, I'm the smartest person in these matters, high horse riding shitskids on the face of reality. I will dropkick you off your horse. Don't you fucking dare. Now in the case of Amazon halting all viewer reviews my stance is this, if they froze everything both good and bad reviews fine, however if they stopped the negative and kept recieving the positive reviews, then don't do that. That's bad. Even if humans are massive whiners and were bombing this show even before it finished. It is a good show, it doesn't make a theatrical mockery of Tolkien's works, the writing is solid, the acting is solid, the effects are solid, it's no high standing masterpiece for the ages and neither is it a travesty that would make the pope weep. Out of all the things to be angry about in this day and age, Rings Of Power isn't even on the bottom of that list. Entertained or not, a show is just a show. 4 stars, 8.5/10, and I now need to make a massive decision before the year is done. Wednesday, November 2, 2022 Just one year after The Hobbit, underground cult movie making machine Ralph Bakshi undertook a big task that took considerable time to cement even the production of the film, and the interesting part is this movie comprises of Fellowship Of The Ring and The Two Towers in just a bit over 2 hours. Story time! Years back when I was just a pre-teen lad with a love for the Lord Of The Rings films, I owned and watched this version many times before Return Of The King was even released so it was nice coming back to a movie my eyes have not seen for an age. My opinion hasn't changed much, but Jesus this movie moves at warp speed! By the time the Fellowship part has ended, there's only 50 odd minutes for Two Towers so as you can imagine the pacing is the biggest detriment to the whole thing. I feel you have to be incredibly well versed in the sequence of events for the story whether it be book or trilogy, just so you don't feel like you accidentaly hit the fast forward button at several points in this. Oh sure it hits all the important bullet points of the plot, but there ain't much time for character development or even characters (poor Eowyn doesn't even get a single line), extended scenes of dialogue, or neat references to the works of Tolkien all that much though hearing a bit of Beren and Luthien's story was nice. This is a strength the animated Hobbit movie had, cause it only had to contend with one simple story in a bit less than 90 minutes. Now try adapting over 700 pages and even then the movie doesn't obviously fully cover both books, in 2 hours and 15 minutes. Hell's bells that could not have been easy. But it tells it well enough and I somehow kept up with the pacing and editing flawlessly as a child. The animation is a beast of it's own, the film used traditional 2D animation but took advantage of some shiny new tech known as rotoscoping where filmed actors are drawn over to give the illusion of animation. Now in terms of the servants of Mordor, I think it's amazing because there is just this unearthly, eerie, totally unnatural look to the Ringwraiths, orcs, and so on but with the humans, elves, and dwarves not so much. It's passable but doesn't pack as much punch as these red eyed hellish riders in black and hordes of attacking orcs, which were highlights for me back then and most certainly still are now. The backgrounds are outstanding, looking absurdly picture-esque or abstract nightmare backdrops, I could admire them for some time. The cast is very good, Christopher Guard plays a much more innocent and childlike Frodo but still has some fight and power in him, William Squire as Gandalf has that wisdom filled voice and while the animation in terms of movement is over the top the voice work is tethered to the ground, of course everybody praises Sir John Hurt as Aragorn and yeah I fully adhere to that stance he just is the best of both worlds between a ranger and a king, Peter Woodthorpe as Gollum leans closer to Andy's potrayal they play up the deranged mind and addictive personality and even the design had to have influenced Peter Jackson. Well honestly this whole film inspired Jackson to one day make his own adaptation and the similarities are far from coincidental, so I have to appreciate this movie for existing even if just for that. It's a mixed bag but for me it does still come out on the positive side. I like our actors, the animation has moments of brilliance, the whole shadow play opening works super well and brings to it an atmosphere, the battle scenes are much more bloody than you would expect for an animated film and the battle of Helm's Deep goes a lot quicker with little buildup but decent payoff, the Ringwraiths are metal as hell, oh that friggin' orc war chant I know the whole thing cause I'm a f***ing neeeeeerd! It has highlights, it's not admittedly for everyone but if you're hardcore for this world like I am check it out if purely for curiosity's sake. All in all I give it 2.5 stars, 6.5/10, and if you've been keeping count and paying attention you'll know the occasion for tomorrow. Tuesday, November 1, 2022 I must admit I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Released in 1977 as a TV movie from good ol' Rankin & Bass, The Hobbit is a very humble production and a decent adaptation of Mr. Tolkien's story. Since I've covered the bigger budgeted grander trilogy, to see it in an entirely new light was a real treat for me and I very much appreciate it from the standpoint of the time when it came out. Of course it would look shoddy and lacking in story compared to three movies and even those were a notch bloated, so no I am firmly not in the camp of disliking this. The movie is almost an hour and twenty minutes long so I'll more take this opportunity to disclose what actually made it into the film. Of course Bilbo Baggins is recruited by the wandering wizard Gandalf to aid in the quest of Thorin Oakenshield to reclaim a treasure stolen by the fierce dragon Smaug. To my delight this adaptation includes a good deal of songs as is customary to the world of Tolkien and to hear recognizable tunes in a more folky style made me smile and is prevalent throughout. The eagles are present and actually given the chance to speak this time so point for this movie staying truer to the book. The battle of five armies is briefly touched on like in the book with Bilbo staying out of the madness. Mirkwood is present with spiders and wood elves. And to use the words of one Leonard Nimoy, he fought with the goblins, he battled the trolls, he riddled with Gollum, a magic ring he stole, he was chased by wolves, lost in the forest, escaped via the barrel from the elf king's halls! Big props also to the movie for namedropping Orcist and Glamdring, they actually did do a fair bit of research for this and I feel the love and attention shows. It's no secret the movie runs at a brisque pace so some things got ommited but just as a simple fantasy story I think it works commendably. The animation style is entirely unique, I know Rankin & Bass is prevalently known for it's stop motion works so it is fascinating to see 2D animation from them, the backgrounds are very simple and yet incredibly beautiful, the character designs lean into the more outlandish as it should I mean it's not trying to give you realistic movement and appearances. I think I would totally have digged the hell out of this if I saw it at a young age, though I'm not sure how much younger I mean for God's sake I was 6 when Fellowship came out, but it would have worked splendidly for me. I think I've seen too much animation though, I was distinctly singling out elements of the animation that looked japanese to me and sure as hell the animation crew hailed from Japan. Though admittedly it doesn't have as many noticeable touches of flair from more recent anime, I'm just familiar enough with early examples of it to where I could see it. The voice cast did very well, I like Orson Bean's upbeat and naive potrayal of the bravest little hobbit of them all, John Huston gives Gandalf that oomph of power in his voice and I actually really love how Gandalf's magic is shown in this, Hans Conried as Thorin did have that more wise and kingly aura to him and it's almost hilarious how the majority of the other dwarves are just there for the background, Theodore Gottlieb as Gollum is so interesting to see potrayed before Andy catapulted this role into legend cause Gollum looks more amphibian and seems more just a strange creature than hopelessly addicted tragic character, and lastly Richard Boone as Smaug I can 100% see where Ben got some of his cues for when he played the dragon he has this smooth yet threatning voice and again the design is something completely unique. And that's just the only way I can sum up this movie, it's unique, it's different, it's something only this movie has. People who even attempt to compare this to the Peter Jackson movies are really just setting themselves up for ridicule, there is no comparison to be made it's just two seperate entities of a children's story so you completely and fully have to just judge this movie on it's own merits. And for me, I liked it a good bit, now was I expecting much? Not at all, I almost thought it would be sub standard at best, but I got a charming, enjoyable, utterly novel adaptation and I'm very appreciative and happy I got to see it. Back in 1977 Lord Of The Rings was still grassroots man, if you were a young kid and you read the books, maybe were into D&D, and getting to see an adaptation of Tolkien's work even as a wee TV movie must have been a big deal cause who the hell else was doing it? Nobody, that's who. Today's movie and tomorrow's review walked so Jackson could run faster than greased lightning. So I give it 3 stars, 7/10, and tomorrow's review has actually been coming since the year I started all this so stay tuned.

Let Kelty explain Willets Pt. stand Thursday, May 27, 2010, Times Ledger Eugene Kelty, chairman of Community Board 7, was only “75 percent happy” with the city’s plan to relocate three large Willets Point businesses to College Point (“Willets Pt. relocation OK’d,” Flushing Times, May 13-19). Presumably the missing 25 percent is related to Kelty’s need to have greater recourse in the manner in which the businesses are run to ensure they do not become “bad neighbors.” Under Kelty’s management, CB 7 had no trouble supporting the city’s Willets Point plan to destroy hundreds of small businesses and throw to the winds their thousands of employees and families for the benefit of a private, for-profit real estate developer that made him 100 percent happy. That Kelty had no concern about the 100 percent unhappiness caused by the destruction of hundreds of small, Willets Point businesses and the loss of a livelihood by their thousands of employees and their families qualifies Kelty, Borough President Helen Marshall and Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his lackeys at the city Economic Development Corp. the true bad neighbors.

Stillman College Alum Hilariously Remixes Yung Joc’s Hit Song Stillman College has literally become my home away from home. As a Florida HBCU graduate, the first thing I got excited about when I moved to Alabama was looking for HBCU's in the area. Luckily, I didn't have to go too far. Stillman College welcomed me with open arms and it's been my home since I moved. As a DJ, I know there are certain songs I can play at an event and the crowd will go crazy. Before I Let Go by Frankie Beverly and Maze is at the top of that list for sure. Another song I know always gets the crowd moving is a classic by Juvenile. I have to admit, as a DJ, I do have some songs that I selfishly love to play. Yung Joc has a few that always gets the crowd hype. The top of that list is It's Goin Down. When I want to make the crowd sing, I'll play another song from Yung Joc. Recently, Yung Joc was at an event during the World Games in Birmingham. A Facebook video shows Yung Joc interacting with two members in the crowd. He begins singing the chorus from his hit song saying, "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, how many girls from the club want go." They hit Joc with the church choir, harmony and Yung Joc was dying of laughter. The World Games brought a lot of people into the state of Alabama, but I'm glad to see it brought HBCU alum together to have a good time and sing for Yung Joc. This is what the HBCU experience is all about. We handle business, but we love to have a great time.

Enjoy this wonderful diary from Dirty Martini, describing her adventures on tour with Dita von Teese, Murray Hill, Perle Noire, Monsieur Romeo, Lada Nikolska, Catherine D’Lish and Selene Luna – the fabulous cast of Strip Strip Hooray! Bling bling pretty boss lady! (May 9th) As Murray Hill and I strolled into the LA House of Blues it was impossible not to gawk at the giant billboard of our very glamorous boss for the next three weeks. Hovering over the ‘shanty town’ front porch in west Hollywood is a larger than life becrystalled Dita Von Teese. It is difficult to escape the charm of Hollywood, thinking you could pick up and move here when you feel the balmy breeze and warm sun on your skin. The notion of a dream tour with a cast of friendly and talented burlesque folk helps to weave that dream. However, I am a devout New Yorker and that is never more evident then when I walk into a corporate chain venue such as this. The House of Blues will be our home in most of the cities on our Live Nation sponsored tour. Every HOB in the US is nearly identical. We Americans are extremely adept at creating this kind of comfort experience. This brand of sameness usually sets me a bit on edge, itching to find the detail that exists only in this place alone. House of Blues is meant to be a cosy reminder of a relaxed New Orleans Saturday night. A little turn of the century glamour mixed with a run down ‘outsider artist’ touch. Every room is filled with gold framed paintings of questionable taste and a healthy amount of red velvet. The house is spotless though; polished wood floors, black cocktail tables and bland metal railings that scream ‘safety first’. The highlighted feature of each club, the Gilligan’s Island style patchwork quilt main curtain was thankfully replaced in each venue by a royal blue and gold extravaganza owned and installed by Strip Strip Hooray! Maybe Dita couldn’t stand the sight of the honkytonk main rag that screams, ‘let’s put on a show!’ or it was a solution to some space and storage issues. Either way, it created the effect of grandeur everywhere we performed; a suitable backdrop to her props and costumes and our sparkling and varied talents. Above the proscenium were glowing icons of all religions, brought together in our case by the magic of good old fashioned striptease. “Rehearsals have begun and I navigate my way through Dita’s giant props and Catherine D’Lish’s spider web like Alice in Stripperland.” I’m delighted to find, upon my arrival at the velvety dressing room, a warm greeting by the cuter than cute ‘Vontourage’. Donna and Erica, Dita’s blonde back-up dancers lovingly dubbed the ‘DitaMint Twins’ by Murray, smile and hug me and the fun begins. The stunning and lithe Lada Nikolska peeks her head around the corner and the uber fabulous Selene Luna joins us while we all catch up on our exploits and travels since the last shows we shared a year before. This backstage moment is similar to a family reunion as we settle into our encampments for the next few days. Rehearsals have begun and I navigate my way through Dita’s giant props and Catherine D’Lish‘s spider web like Alice in Stripperland. One by one the technicians appear and disappear through the sparkling drops as we exchange hurried hugs and greetings as they go about their work. Perle Noire sashays over with a kiss before getting down to the business of limbering up for her mind-bogglingly energetic routine. As I saunter over to the chest high stage, I’m amazed that I missed Dita herself looking perfectly doll-like in her black rehearsal togs nearly a foot away. ‘Hi Dirty’, she purrs, startling my distracted gaze. I’ve known her for years and she looks exactly the same as the day we met but even more glamorous than ever before. We start our work, finding unlikely spaces to stretch and prepare – she on a giant pink bucking bull and I buckling my highest heels ready for some West Coast adventure. Friends and family. (May 11th) Woke up today in my cosy tiger print sheets exhausted and sore and it is only day two. The debut show of the tour last night ran smoothly except for a few costume malfunctions that can often plague a striptease show. The cast order is solid, the enormous set changes are moving quicker and the audience was an excellent indication of the excited reception we will receive in the coming weeks. A highlight for me was continuing my warm-up ritual with Lada and Catherine D’Lish two hours before the show, easing into our regimen of core strengthening to Snoop Dog and ass firming exercises to the refrain, ‘…booty booty booty booty rockin’ ev’rywhere’. It felt familiar and I was hopeful that eventually the whole cast would join in our daily work out. A daily ballet barre and Yoga/Pilates/callisthenics mashup helps to keep chronic injuries at bay. Dancing in five inch stilettos is not for the weak and faint of heart! That particular night they stabbed into my panel skirt, embarrassingly refusing to let go of the flowing material as I kicked and posed trying for it to break free. As a last ditch effort I removed my panel a few phrases early, relieved as the chiffon floated away freely. Immediately I forgot the whole gaff as I eased into my vigorous tassel tricks and finale. The next day I’m amazed to find that we will actually be travelling with a wardrobe master. What a luxury to have Eddie DeBarr with us, one of Dita’s best friends and an all around fun and hilarious person. Before I even remembered that I had put my foot through my costume he comes breezing in with the hole fixed and the panel steamed. As a person who is constantly on upkeep duty, I am impressed and relieved that someone else took on the responsibility. He cavalierly says it was a quick fix and he’ll make it pretty tomorrow. I respond, ‘ah, I’ll rhinestone over the hole someday. Anyway, if they are looking at that little mark on the bottom of my train I ain’t strippin’ right!’ The ‘business’. (May 12th) Packing up after our first night of double shows in LA, Murray and I trudge down the many stairs, past the paparazzi who were waiting for Dita to emerge from the venue, and we head down the street to the Standard for a late night snack. The guys in the next booth are watching a video clip of Lady Bunny on their iPhone. We get very excited to see our old friend and ask them where they caught her act. I immediately recognise one of the gentleman as a regular judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race. We all exchange cards and I suddenly feel that I have had THE Hollywood experience. Murray and I are definitely celebrities of an alien kind here. I start to see that people definitely know who Dita Von Teese is but not necessarily what she does. On the airplane the steward described her after a long thoughtful pause as a pinup/actress, a label I had never heard before but made sense for someone grappling for reference. It wasn’t that long ago that any mention of the word burlesque would have garnered a blank stare and then a horrified realisation that the person in front of them dances in the nude. These days, there is no such reaction. Usually the shop keeper or baggage claim worker will say, ‘oh yeah, I have a cousin that’s into burlesque.’ We’ve come a long way! Stay Classy San Diego! (May 14th) We didn’t know exactly what to expect from the city of San Diego. Home to the US Navy and the kind of laid back people that perhaps don’t respond to the hustle bustle of LA, this city is both stunning and sparse. Perfect weather everyday; it’s like living in a soap opera set. This House of Blues theatre was thankfully on ground level. Our LA venue had an MC Escher-like set of staircases leading to the main stage from the dressing room, inspiring the fear of leaving a glove up there and having to navigate the stairs. Here there were no massive staircases to negotiate in heels, or anxiety about what costume piece you may have left four flights up. San Diego is a cool seventy, even and relaxed. Again, like a prolonged case of deja-vu, we wandered around the club wondering whether it was more like the one in Dallas or New Orleans. The main difference for myself and a few other cast members that perform on the thrust runway during set changes was the phenomenon of looking straight up, neck outstretched, to see the audience in the balcony gazing positively straight down on us. Like spinning around while looking directly at the clouds in the sky, it can be dangerously dizzying. The crowd at our two shows was delightfully diverse. They were hungry for burlesque and showering us all with squeals and applause. One notable moment being a shy eighteen year old art kid, still in high school, dancing shyly and awkwardly to win the Murray challenge hands down to enthusiastic acceptance and applause. My guest at the shows, the stunning blonde Mimi Le Meaux is someone I always have fun with. It’s nice to see her relaxed and on her home turf as opposed to the insanity of our French Cabaret New Burlesque tours. We caught up and talked about all of the fun things we will some day have time to do on my next trip to see her and we bid a hasty goodbye for a few weeks. I will see her and the rest of the Cabaret soon for our shows in Istres and Lyon France. Dance party in the foundation room! (May 15th) After the show we are told that we will have our first after party. We all are fresh and excited and dying to blow off some steam. We hastily pack up, put on sexy party clothes and gather with Dita as our leader. The Foundation Room is the party space in every HOB and we are used to the scene. Either there is a weekly party that the venue hosts with a VIP area set aside for us, or it’s some invited folks from the audience – reception style. This time we banded together behind Dita and our bouncer to be ushered into a completely empty room. Lights on, freezing cold and no bartender – somewhat like being in somebody’s parent’s basement. Regardless, Dita plugs in her iPod and the dance party begins. Using a playlist she made from all of our favourite songs emailed to her weeks in advance, we let loose. Shortly after, our technicians join us and then a HOB employee with a 12-pack of Budweiser tall boys. This is a departure from the champagne stocked dressing room, but welcome none the less. This party spawns what is described on the tour schedule as our ‘dance party’ show warm-up. At Dita’s request we prepare for the show and I’m thrilled for the chance to laugh, bond and talk shop while we are all in stretch pants and leg warmers. You know what luxury is? Stripping with a view of the Strip… And turn-down service. (May 17th) Why is Las Vegas so crazy? Every time I come here the days go so fast and the nights are so long. When I’m in NY I can accomplish so much, but somehow when I plan a few activities here I’m running late and cancelling at the last minute. Leaving McCarran airport starts a whirlwind of activity, peppered with slot machine wins – and losses – and the overwhelming urge to get everyone around me to chant Strip Strip Hooray! I immediately go into burlesque-as-art promotional speech. I suppose, because of the artifice of the Vegas strip and the almost constant flesh peddling going on here, I’m spurred to revolution against middle American values and popular culture. Contrasting the fanciful Vegas hotels and the glitz of our show are the cargo short and flip flop set. Omnipresent in their masses, they gawk at our flashy fashions and apparent physical freedom. House of Blues here doesn’t disappoint. It’s big and flashy and a touch less ‘shanty town’ than the rest. The highlight here, aside from bumping Carlos Santana from his weekly gig, was the proximity of legends of burlesque such as Tempest Storm who, to Dita’s delight, was front and centre at the show. We all had the pleasure of seeing Marinka, Dusty Summers, Tiffany Carter and Grant Philipo in the house as we bumped and glided around the stage. The Vegas audience is always a little unsettling for me as I never know what reaction I’ll get. So many shows with lithe, topless gazelle-women, acrobats and narrow minded ideals; it’s like LA meets Miami for me. I steel myself for the show and I’m not disappointed by the reaction. They are with me and I try to curry more and more favour as I dance. I feel the usual mix of judgement meeting amazement and I can practically hear their thoughts: ‘This is not what I thought I was in for but I’m enjoying it!’ ‘I am a transsexual goddess’ (May 23rd) The legendary Fillmore. I couldn’t be more honoured to bump and grind my way across a stage that saw the likes of Hendrix, Zepplin and the Doors. I sit slack-jawed in front of my lighted mirror when a man sweeps in and places our special Fillmore show poster in the gold framed glass display, in this dressing room that had been filled with the greatest bands of all time. Long since the Fillmore East had closed its doors and been turned into a bank, the West had rocked on and filled its walls with posters specially designed for each show from its own printing press. Here was ours. Not a rock band, but just as raucous, we made history with the decibel level of our audience’s cheers. I could barely hear the driving beat of Louis Prima’s Peter Gunn over the roar. Listening carefully for all the hits and accents to ensure the proper placement of high kicks and pelvic thrusts, I bathed in the vibration of the crowd. Still stunned, I relaxed backstage and enjoyed the concert of classic burlesque music and roaring for the remainder of the show. I visualised the other performer’s moves and the reactions they garnered. “…a gorgeous blonde clad in black exclaimed excitedly when asked what she does for a living, ‘I’m a transsexual goddess’, to the delight and long applause from the crowd.” The freedom of San Francisco was a relief after the middle American alienation we felt in Vegas. The ‘Murray Hill Challenge’ reflected the wide range of our packed house as the contestants introduced themselves. The first, a man with a foot high purple Mohawk, was told by comparison he was the most normal. The second, a gorgeous blonde clad in black, exclaimed excitedly when asked what she does for a living, ‘I’m a transsexual goddess’, to the delight and long applause from the crowd. The third and winning contestant was a professor of activism and was dressed in Murray Hill style casual summer menswear. Winning by throwing Murray down to the floor and humping him to the beat, he was turned from a mild mannered teacher to a wild beast, spurred on by applause and a signed 8×10, ‘not of Dita but of Mr Hill himself ladies and gentlemen!’ Many of our burlesque buddies came to the show. Roky Roulette and Kitten on the Keys remind me of our next adventure with the Cabaret New Burlesque as I see their smiling familiar faces. Scotty the Blue Bunny helps us finish the rest of our liquor, as does Bunny Pistol. Baby Doe and Gorilla X are San Francisco family, the people that make me believe that there really is an underground tunnel from New York. It’s a treat to see these friends; after the show I didn’t want to leave the theatre as we blasted Led Zepplin and relaxed with the scent of weed wafting through the dressing room, imagining what it would have been like to watch Robert Plant live in action. I couldn’t help but wonder what those guys might have thought of our show. A view of the Space Needle. (May 26th) Seattle is a real burlesque town. The Neptune theatre which hosted our show had seen our kind before. Originally a silent movie house, it had all the trappings that show folk like us truly appreciate. Upon arrival I passed the solitary tiny ticket booth that you imagine to be manned either by a cute teen in a red and gold usher’s uniform or a stogie smoking old guy with a comb-over, reading a girlie magazine. In the lobby was a wooden popcorn stand shaped like a fishing boat with studded trident motif doors. Gold and and silver clam shell topped King Neptune heads stared down at us with glowing blue eyes as we sound checked. I start my warm-up on the stage as the cast filter in one by one. Perle Noire is stretching her 180 degree straddle while Lada lays down her mat to begin her Pilates routine. I saunter over to the barre that Dita brings on tour with her and join in for some plies and tendues. Greg, Monsieur Romeo, is wearing an outfit one might wear to go to the cinema while he charmingly mock smokes, working his enviable abs. It’s time for makeup and I’m running a little late. “I struggle and paint and look hard in the mirror at just small sections of my face, feeling a little like I’m applying clown makeup. Then it happens. I look in the mirror and a glamour girl appears.” I run up the stairs to our cramped but lively dressing room to turn into a showgirl. There’s a moment in this routine where it happens like magic. I struggle and paint and look hard in the mirror at just small sections of my face, feeling a little like I’m applying clown makeup. Then it happens. I look in the mirror and a glamour girl appears. Five minutes to showtime and we hear the audience for the first time. They are roaring. We are all so excited to get on the stage and feel their energy. Each time Murray’s punch line lands, we hear another roar. Dita‘s curtain is drawn and the crowd goes crazy. She strips her tuxedo with the help of her blonde pages and climbs into her signature martini glass. I can hear the audience as I wait in the wings and with each splash waves of screams follow. There is water everywhere. I love it when she gets bratty and splashes the crowd. Six stage hands in black prepare to mop up the mess with their white towels. As she synchs her last line and the curtain closes, the guys spring into action as she sprints back to the dressing room in her towel and bids me a hasty, ‘knock em dead’. It’s time. I worry about how to top the image of Dita in her Swarovski glass and then quickly dismiss any thoughts I may have had. Murray starts my intro and I hold onto the centre curtain waiting for Jennie Lee’s famous tag line that I’ve adopted, ‘Miss 44 and Plenty More’, and I’m on. The front row is a mix of smiles, wonder and staring. As I strut in front of the blue curtain, I start to scan and work out what kind of audience I have. Are they burlesque fans, fashion people or curious onlookers? It’s a very mixed bunch. As I throw in a series of bumps, a clutch of ladies in pinup dresses scream their approval and I know the that this will not be difficult but more like being on a carnival ride. I spin back on to the stage as the curtain opens and I pray I don’t slip in any remaining water. All my wardrobe is on the floor and I encourage the crowd to applaud as my hand beaded bra swings above my head and it’s tassel time. The loudest roar by far sounds and in thirty more seconds I’m finished. On my knees I pose like a picture of my hero Jennie Lee. Murray helps me to get back to my feet and I’m exhausted. We do our shtick, I perform some feats of tassel technology and that’s that! “As Murray pauses and states, ‘and now the queen of burlesque, Dita Von Teese’, the curtain opens on her, posed in her elaborate opium bed, and I scan the cast to remember their smiles. This is the image I hold as I remember the tour.” I’m back in the dressing room panting and regaling Selene Luna, Monsieur Romeo, Lada and Perle with the story of the audience. They are alert, having a great time and, above all, deafening. They are young and excited. Now I wait. I run out to catch the Murray challenge as does the entire crew and it gives us lots of stories as Murray has pulled up the most unlikely of contestants. Two nerdy young students wearing backpacks have us howling as they let their guard down and dance unselfconsciously. They joyously grasp their Dita memorabilia as they leave the stage. I catch Selene and Perle’s acts as they wow Seattle and run to prepare for our curtain call. As Murray pauses and states, ‘and now the queen of burlesque, Dita Von Teese’, the curtain opens on her, posed in her elaborate opium bed, and I scan the cast to remember their smiles. This is the image I hold as I remember the tour. Portlandia. (May 28th) From under the sea, we emerge in Scheherazade. The Aladdin theatre was our stop in Portland. Another adorable marquee to announce our show full of light blue and pink neon. Seattle and Portland have all the advantages of a liveable city. Cute shops in walking distance of the hotel and laid back flannel and polar fleece-covered hipsters. We naturally found the perfect vintage shops, thrift stores and diners in both cities, even though most stores were closed for memorial day weekend. The best shop by far was Portland’s Avalon. Lovingly curated, I longed to take home a heavy brass dish in the shape of a fan dancer from the turn of the century. Visualising the frowns at baggage check, I let her go. That night after the show, we settled into a cosy bar in the theatre to be greeted by the most enthusiastic of people buying me dirty martinis all night long. The neighbourhood bar was delighted to see us arrive and out of their minds with joy when Dita dropped by. Nervous and shy, they crept over to get their photos with her, not really wanting to disturb her evening. Really we were charmed. Throwback barbershop quartet. (May 31st) Murray Hill has tested every hair product known to man. Layrite is the only product he has found that keeps his hair glistening and perfect under the hot lights and stress of Showbiz. The inventors of this product, that he often promotes and uses enough to party with the east coast distributor, reside at Hawleywood Barbershop, Costa Mesa. Twenty minutes away from our hotel, it was irresistible. Adding to the allure was the rumour that women are not allowed. I accompanied Murray on the adventure into the belly of the beast and we were quickly sized up and shuffled into the back bar, set up as a boys clubhouse and waiting room for the girlfriends of the freshly coiffed. The rule was not a rumour and we spoke at length to the guys about the reasons and reactions to it. What went down after we were generously greeted by Mike and Brandon is privileged information. Suffice to say, hours later, Murray emerged with the best high ‘n’ tight imaginable, enough product to last the rest of his career, and some new unlikely admirers which Murray won over with charm, wit, comp tickets and a love of basketball. Stranded miles from our hotel, we enjoyed dinner at a chain restaurant with many a curious onlooker before returning home. On with the show! The OC. (May 30th) Our final stop on tour is Orange County. Opening the shades in the morning reveals a blazing sun. It’s like LA was taken over by CEO’s on Casual Friday. To get to a Starbucks across the street it’s easier to get in a car and go from parking lot to parking lot. No such luck, we had to walk. The nearest convenience was the huge outdoor outlet centre mall. With two hours free a day, this was perfect before heading to the Yost theatre for the show. It’s our last show and the cast is thrilled. Dita, Eddie, Selene, and tour manager Jasmine all grew up here, so friends and families gathered to watch the show as well as the throngs of pinups and greasers that reside here. There’s a specialist mechanic for Packard cars next door that sets the scene for our retro mania, and Dita’s name was up in lights on the large marquee. The audience was immense and excited. Three sold out shows in two nights was no small feat after this three week tour. Even the singer-dancer-actor hotel clerk came to see the show. Dita is a home town hero here and they were on fire to see the show. The shows ran smoothly, we all remain giggling friends and the tour was at capacity in every city. We wave goodbye to a raucous and successful moment together. The cast leaves exhausted and convinced that we made burlesque history. Tempest Storm, who came to see the show in Las Vegas, said that even in her day the productions weren’t quite as lavish as this. I’ll miss my family for these three weeks and all of our in-jokes and stories from the road. “I know that a little magic is finished. For now it seems I will just have slightly faded memories of key cards from strange hotels, forgotten room numbers, pool side shenanigans and tight dressing rooms!” Dita was generous to share her spotlight with us and we made for a very unlikely family full of laughs, sore muscles and circus style trouping. I hug Murray goodbye, get out of the taxi at the wrong airline – so confused from the many flights – and trudge to the correct one as I feel so suddenly alone and on my own. No longer does the tour manager tell me how to get from point a to b. I am a toddler without parents. Alone, I fly back to Las Vegas for the Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekend before heading back to New York. This annual occasion is usually so filled with joy and excitement, but when I board the plane without Murray to make an announcement on the PA that Strip Strip Hooray! is on board, or Selene cracking a joke, or Perle to say ‘dawling’, or Lada, Greg and Catherine breezing by elegantly, I know that a little magic is finished. For now it seems I will just have slightly faded memories of key cards from strange hotels, forgotten room numbers, pool side shenanigans and tight dressing rooms!

Earlier this month, a group of criminals allegedly hacked into security camera data from California startup Verkada Inc., breaching the live feeds of 150,000 surveillance cameras inside hospitals and other places of work, according to a Bloomberg report. Hackers were able to view video from inside women’s health clinics, psychiatric hospitals and the offices of Verkada itself. In a video seen by Bloomberg, a Verkada camera inside Florida hospital Halifax Health showed what appeared to be eight hospital staffers tackling a man and pinning him to a bed, the publication reported. A spokesman for Halifax confirmed Wednesday that it uses Verkada cameras but added that “we believe the scope of the situation is limited,” Bloomberg reported. The data breach was carried out by an international hacker collective and intended to show the pervasiveness of video surveillance and the ease with which systems could be broken into. For hospitals and health systems, the security camera breach raises red flags about the vulnerabilities of connected devices that are increasingly used in healthcare, said Jeff Horne, chief security officer of Ordr, a company that provides security for connected devices.

Online gaming has come a long way since the days of simple 8-bit graphics and limited multiplayer capabilities. With the advancement of technology, the future of online gaming looks incredibly promising, with innovations that will revolutionize the gaming experience for players around the world. Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality One of the most exciting developments in online gaming technology is the integration of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). These immersive technologies allow players to step into a virtual world, experiencing games in a way that was previously unimaginable. VR headsets and AR glasses bring gaming to life, creating a sense of presence and interactivity that is unparalleled. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning The use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms in online gaming is another game-changer. AI-powered NPCs (non-playable characters) can now adapt to player behavior, creating more challenging and dynamic gaming experiences. Additionally, AI can help personalize gameplay, providing tailored experiences based on individual player preferences and skill levels. Cloud Gaming and Streaming Cloud gaming and streaming services are set to redefine the way games are played and accessed. With the power of cloud infrastructure, players can enjoy high-quality games on any device, without the need for expensive gaming hardware. This accessibility and flexibility will open up gaming to a much wider audience, removing barriers to entry and allowing more people to participate in the gaming community. Blockchain and In-Game Economies Blockchain technology is making waves in the gaming industry, particularly when it comes to in-game economies and digital asset ownership. By leveraging blockchain, game developers can create secure and transparent ecosystems for the buying, selling, and trading of in-game items and currency. This not only empowers players with true ownership of their virtual assets but also opens up new opportunities for digital economies within games. Engagement and Community Building Beyond the technological advancements, the future of online gaming technology is also deeply rooted in fostering engagement and building communities. Social features, live streaming, and interactive events within games are all contributing to a more connected and inclusive gaming environment. This focus on community building will continue to shape the way players interact and collaborate within virtual worlds. In conclusion, the future of online gaming technology is incredibly promising, with innovations that are set to redefine the gaming experience as we know it. From immersive virtual reality to AI-powered gameplay and blockchain-driven economies, the evolution of online gaming is paving the way for a more engaging, inclusive, and dynamic gaming landscape.
