In Washington, three naked men raced through a Denny's restaurant last January 14th. That early morning streak was intended for a good clean fun. But the joke was on them. They watched in horror as somebody beat them into their getaway car and drove off. Along with their clothes.
They were forced to huddle nude in the cold weather until the police arrived.
FEW OTHER INDONESIAN FRIENDSTERS' CHARACTERISTICS
1) They mistake "Open Marriage" as "Open for Marriage." Ditto for "Open Relationship." Which is why more than a few Indonesians proudly display either status.

What Is A Watershed?
A watershed is defined as a topographically delineated area drained by a stream. It is also referred to as a catchment and extends ridge top to ridge top. The interactions of the terrestrial and aquatic environments within the watershed determine watershed health.
Much of Oregon’s natural resource management is based on watersheds. Why? First, watersheds are natural boundaries. Watershed management organizes and guides land and other resource use to provide desired goods and services without adversely affecting soil and water resources. This type of management also recognizes the interrelationships among land use, soil, water and linkages between upland and downstream areas. Finally, watershed management is based on scientific method; local citizens identify and prioritize projects, develop action plans, implement projects, and evaluate.

This past weekend, my grandfather passed away. I was trying to get down to LA to see him one last time, but I didn’t get a chance to, which is a bit saddening.
The reason why the title of the post is “my family is crazy” is that on my grandfather’s death bed, one of my cousins, a junior in high school, told my grandfather that he is going to be a pastor too.
My brother is also discerning a call into ministry too.
If they both go through with their calls… that means:
my late grandfather was a pastor
my uncle is a pastor
my aunt is married to a pastor
then my cousin is looking into become a pastor.
that’s just my mom’s side.
My dad’s oldest brother is a pastor.
His two sons are a pastor and his daughter is married to a pastor.
My dad’s a pastor.
I’m a pastor.
And my brother is looking into it.
I mean, what the heck? We have no chance of being a normal family, ever.
There’s just too many pastors in our clan. Are we like the Levites? Geez.
My wife’s father is a pastor.
A bunch of my wife’s distant relatives are pastors.
I mean, really, it’s ridiculous.
We’re just a collective group of crazy people. =)

Amazingly Penedes is only an hours drive from Barcelona and it is one of the best wine producing areas in the world. The Cava production is centred around the town of Villafranca. Penedes has indigenous varieties and does exceedingly well with Bordeaux varieties Cabernet and Merlot as well…thank you very much!
I was taken on a guided tour from Maria Rosa Cardona of Cava house Rovellats where they keep many Cava wines on the lees for up to 6 years. Maria has been in a family Cava House since she was a girl and is a wine professional and something of a Spanish celebrity!She is “instantly recognized and hugged” in any number of sophisticated hotels, bars and restaurants in Barcelona and has quite an adoring fan club, for good reason!
We had lunch at a local restaurant that is more known for its kitchen then any fancy décor. Restaurant “Sant Jordi” (Cal la Katy) in the village of Sant Marti Samoa (Vilafranca Ctra Sant Martí, km. 8 at 3 kms from Rovellats winery) was a real gem!
We chose from the Menu del Dia, (generally advisable) as it is the freshest and most seasonal produce. We sampled a local cullinary delight, the most typical of Catalan salads XATO consisting of raw Codfish (Bacala), anxhoa (anchovies) olives Tuna,”escarole” wth romesco red sauce(a sauce made from red peppers) and some deep fried calamari so succulent and fresh! (I could have killed for another serving!). This was accompanied by a Cava…Cava Rovelats…with refreshing acidity and good balance, an excellent aperitif and sufficient complexity to be a serious food wine.
Main course was duck “Anel mut del Penedes rostit ambwi”, which was Catalan duck with fruits like oranges and prunes and pinenuts. The idea is to combine the sweet flavours with the Salty duck. This black duck is unique to Penedes and has tender flesh and little fat (the bird originally came from the Amazon in South America).
The dish was accompanied by an excellent, if unpretentious local Penedes red wine Bru de Tador,(made by ROVELATS) a blend of Cabernet.Grenache and Merlot and it was redolent of black fruits of the forest, excellent balance and mouthfeel and frankly a perfect wine for the rich flesh of the duck.
Dessert was a plate of fresh sliced oranges a la Chinoise, sliced across section (which actually gives oranges a different flavor and intensity) and the fruit was drizzled with olive oil and cinnamon! Interesting and delicious, yet so simple!
Sant Jordi – Cal la Katty
At first glance this unasumming place on the side of the main road past Sant Marti Sarrocca towards Vilafranca looks like a service cafe, but once inside you get to meet the very friendly Torrents family. What these people dont know about cooking is not worth knowing. They are experts. They do a lovely simple menu of the day for around €11 a head. The food is ALWAYS fresh that day and delicous. Please mention you are guests of Casa del Vino from Torrelles and you will be well looked after.
Restaurant specialising in Penedès cuisine: xató, Penedès style roast duck with prunes and pine-nuts, duck stew with king prawns and wild mushrooms, Penedès cockerel civet, stewed pigs’ trotters and homemade desserts.
Throughout the year they organise several gastronomic conferences on subjects such as Cuisine for Lent, Blue fish, Wild mushrooms and Poultry and offer a wide range of wines and cavas from the Penedès and a small selection of wines from other DOs.
Private dining rooms. Price: à la carte from 20 €, weekday set menu 9 €.
Weekdays and Bank Holidays: from 9 a.m. to 12 midnight. Sunday and Monday nights closed.

HOW WE PUSH YOUR TEEN'S RESET BUTTON
A lot of programs will simply “tell you what you want to hear”in order to book the enrollment. Not at RESET!
Every family's situation is unique and will be thoroughly assessed, first by our Executive Director, then by the RESET Clinical Director, and finally, by the on-site Therapist who will be working directly with each camper.
This is done to ensure that your teen is in the proper environment, with like-challenged campers, all working toward the same goals.
When campers arrive, they check-in their electronic devices and undergo an intensive program of Detox and Reintegration.
We set the foundation for healthy living, personal responsibility and social interaction.
It isn't until later in the program that we begin to revisit their devise usage, be it smart phones, Xbox, social media, etc ...
Campers learn how to self-regulate and prioritize their time.
LIFE SKILLS & COMMUNITY
Being part of a close community provides an opportunity to learn important social skills, which are critically needed to navigate through life. Campers at RESET live in college dorms with roommates, where they become accountable for themselves, and to each other, giving everyone a sense of purpose and mutual regard for community cooperation.
Room assignments change weekly (on purpose) to give campers a taste of uncertainty during such a change, all while in a controlled environment.
SUMMER CAMP FUN
Campers participate in a wide range of activities while at Reset. We take full advantage of the college amenities available at each campus and in each region. Campers may enjoy zip-line and high ropes challenge courses, surfing, wilderness hiking and archery. When available, campers may also participate in STEAM activities with hosting professors like physics, theatre, music, art and sports.
Every session at RESET culminates with the Family Weekend. Parents join us on for the last 3 days. This time is filled with education and resources about what each teen has experienced during camp.
Parents and their teens participate in crafting a mutual Behavioral Contract to help establish a roadmap for success once they return home.
THERAPEUTIC AFTER CARE
One thing that sets RESET apart from other summer camp and therapeutic programs is our personalized after-care program.
Our staff of clinical interns contacts EVERY camper, once a week for a full 8 weeks AFTER they complete the summer session.
Working in concert with the camper's parents and any existing mental and/or medical health care professionals, RESET staff provide a steady lifeline back to a time of positive success and stability.

The new series of Celebrity Big Brother 2018 is back on Channel 5 with a host of celebs you may or may not recognise.
Either way, watching 16 real life humans cooped up in a shared house is always going to be entertaining.
The numbers have been whittling down through weekly public votes however, and now following five evictions, 11 contestants remain.
Enough of the waffle, here’s everything you need to know about the show.
Who was evicted from Celebrity Big Brother this week?
Following a triple eviction on Friday (January 26, 2018) where Dapper Laughs, Jonny Mitchell and Andrew Brady were all voted off, another three left the show this week.
On day 29 three females left in Ashley James, Malika Haqq and Amanda Barrie.
There are now five celebrities left and these are the 2018 Celebrity Big Brother finalists!
When is the next eviction?
Celebrity Big Brother airs nightly at 9pm on Channel 5.
The next eviction is the FINAL, and this takes place on Friday (February 2, 2018).
Who are the remaining Celebrity Big Brother contestants? And who is the favourite?
— Big Brother UK (@bbuk) January 31, 2018
Courtney Act – 8/13
Ann Widdecombe – 6/4
Shane Lynch – 20/1
Jess Impiazzi – 25/1
Wayne Sleep – 66/1
Find out more about each of Celebrity Big Brother contestants here.
How can I vote?
If your favourite Celebrity Big Brother housemate is up for eviction, you can vote to keep them in the house.
Vote by phone using a number that is given out during the 9pm live programmes and is also on the Big Brother website.
Calls cost 50p plus your standard network rate to vote. There is no limit to the number of times you can vote – but voting more than three times starts to look a bit creepy.
When is the Celebrity Big Brother final?
The Celebrity Big Brother final will be on Friday 2nd February 2018.
As usual the show will start at 9pm on Channel 5.
Let us know in the comments who you think is going to win.

The Irish Cancer Society made the plea after the finding in a recent study by researchers from the National Cancer Registry Ireland (NCRI).
The report outlined how women in disadvantaged areas are less likely to contract breast cancer than women in more affluent areas, but have a heightened risk of death if they do suffer from the disease.
Women from poorer areas are less likely to attend a doctor, or attend a Breastcheck screening, according to the Irish Cancer Society.
This results in a later diagnosis and, with it, an increased chance of death.
The NCRI study, which was published recently, also showed that women who were diagnosed because they had symptoms of breast cancer had a poorer chance of survival than those whose cancers were found by BreastCheck.
Some 76.5% of women diagnosed through symptoms were from disadvantaged areas, compared to 67% of more affluent women.
Kathleen O’Meara, the head of advocacy and communications at the Irish Cancer Society, said there needed to be a debate as to the effectiveness of awareness campaigns, particularly regarding women from less well-off areas.
She said other questions needed to be asked, such as why women in poorer areas are more likely to continue smoking or find it harder to quit.
“It is more related to the circumstances of the women: the pressure they’re under, low self-esteem, looking at why they are smoking,” she said.
“Where we have problems like this, we need to go to the communities themselves to see why fewer women go to screenings.”
She said while many women in more disadvantaged areas might have a medical card, other costs, such as childcare, travel and prescription charges, may be an obstacle, as well as “fear of a result” from a test.
GPs also agree with the need to target services at people in poorer areas, with a report by the Irish College of General Practitioners (ICGP), entitled ‘Irish General Practice: Working with Deprivation’, highlighting a healthcare gap between rich and poor areas.
It found that men in the poorest areas, on average, die 4.3 years earlier, and women 2.7 years earlier, than people in better-off areas, and that the GP/population ratio is below the national average in some areas.
For example, there is one GP per 1,600 population nationally, but the report outlines how, in north Dublin, the ratio is one GP per 2,500 population.
Its recommendations include incentives to hire more GPs, and more trainee GPs working in deprived areas.

Requesting a telephone number, Instagram handle or Breeze account can seem too intrusive, weird, vulnerable for many individuals particularly if asked immediately. People use it as a way to display screen matches, examine the meets isn’t pet-fishing him or her otherwise discover an easy method to communicate as opposed to the newest app.
I suggest WhatsApp as it is at least invasive of options. You don’t have to add phone-number, show their photo nor grant a stranger even more access to your own existence than just you are at ease with.
In case the suits cannot make you its IG deal with, don’t stalk them and get to check out – this will be super weird. Even if the match features their/the woman IG account on his/the lady reputation, that simply indicators somebody who is often vain, selecting followers etc. If someone else provide its IG to help you somebody, and everybody, so what does it let you know about them? Do you wish to go out anyone this way?
From inside the infrequent cases anyone might list their Instagram manage on their matchmaking character to end delivering the first content i.e. girls to the Bumble. This happens very well-known, particularly if the reputation are personal however if it is societal, proceed that have caution. Become familiar with brand new photos, will they be effective and sexual in the wild?
It’s a little while subjective but sufficient to remain interested, operate on time although not too-much that you will probably be penpals.
People are better than other people regarding remaining this new discussion https://datingreviewer.net/pl/randki-jezdzieckie supposed on the relationships programs but if one individual run off off one thing to say, the fresh new discussion usually die and you can matches commonly disappear.
Others issue so you’re able to grounds is controlling reaction big date. For men, you don’t want to answer immediately, throughout the day however is to remember that when a woman texts your, she indicators you to she has for you personally to engage in a conversation having a bit of time which means your basic response would be small enough to fulfill their access but not immediately all the date since also sound as well desperate.
Others reason for limited rests is really so you could potentially interpret and you will procedure build into the messages. Either some thing sound finest in your head than just written out. Hats, commas, dashes, ellipses, emojis, memes, are extremely important products in the a conversation toolkit.
Focusing on how to carefully inject her or him into talks could possibly be the difference in providing a romantic date and getting unrivaled instantly. It’s great to help you appear to be a beneficial dork or clutz in the event the legitimate and you can accidental but something unpleasant otherwise mean would be hard to restore.

The unforgettable week reporter Harry Rutter mastered the art of skiing in the beautiful French Alps
- Credit: HARRY RUTTER
It took just one week for reporter Harry Rutter to master the French ski slopes as he took “the trip of a lifetime” this year.
I’d always wanted to give skiing a try, so when the opportunity came about I knew I couldn’t say no.
Where I’m from there’s not really a lot of snow… it is England after all. So I, along with 11 others, jetted out to Plan Peisey to give skiing a shot.
We stayed with Ski Beat in the beautiful Chalet Bayona and were looked after by British hosts Sue and Simon who gave us a warm welcome upon arrival.
Plan Peisey is part of a network of five villages and different slopes for all abilities. The thing that shocked me most was the large scale of the resort.
Waking up in paradise
When we arrived I went straight to mine and my partner’s room to unpack. We had a stunning view of the hills from our balcony and could see for miles.
- 1 New dessert shop bids to become 'best in the area'
- 2 Family's tribute to 'son in a million' killed in motorbike crash
- 3 Two escape unhurt after car plunges into river
- 4 £4,000 raised for Natalie to live her dreams after cancer diagnosis
- 5 Man in 50s dies after medical incident in field
- 6 Covid-19 'virtual ward' will help patients recover at home
- 7 Family run tea room closes after 10 years in business
- 8 Café holds 'heavy heart' as it announces closure
- 9 Bungalow fire in town was ‘accidental’
- 10 Improve your selfies and photographs by joining new group
The first thing you’d see in the morning was the sun rising from behind the mountain and people travelling down hill in the ‘crab cage’ shuttles.
Included in our trip was a cooked breakfast in the morning, afternoon tea following our ski lessons and a three-course evening meal, every day.
My first morning on the slopes
It was day one and the nerves started to kick in as I put on my much-needed crash helmet and carried my skis up to the slopes.
This is where we met our ESF instructor Fred. He had spent most of his life in France and a large per cent teaching the sport to newbies like us, I felt safe.
We started with no ski poles, just practising stopping and starting. I’d be lying if I said none of us fell over… because we did, a lot.
It wasn’t long before we all felt comfortable enough to mount the ski lift and head up to the beginner’s section half way up the hill.
We spent the morning learning how to snow plough – this is when your skis are shaped like a triangle to help you slow down and come to a stop.
After a morning of repeating the same manoeuvre to build the muscle memory, we all headed back to the chalet.
Our hosts had laid out a fresh coffee and walnut cake and baguettes for us all, a message on the table read “We hope you have enjoyed your first day”.
Taking an impromptu tour
The next day, after another successful morning on the slopes, learning how to ski parallel with the help of Fred’s right-hand girl Anais, we took a tour.
Not a guided tour, we all just jumped on the cage shuttles and went for a wonder around our home for the next week.
This is where we quickly realised we were probably the only Brits for miles and when asking for directions all we got were pan-faced looks.
We did find our way to a lovely bar where we all had a drink and got to know each other better. We were joined by the venue’s white husky pup.
“Yep, that is a real-life igloo”
After (a few) drinks at the bar we continued our walk. We stumbled across what can only be described as Pingu’s dream mansion.
Yep, a real-life igloo made with real-life snow. Of course we couldn’t resist the temptation and all took turns to sit inside the marvellous creation.
As night fell we decided it was time to head back to the chalet where we would enjoy our three-course meal with our hosts Sue and Simon.
Our confidence built
After a few days going up and down the French Alps we all realised that we weren’t actually that bad and felt we could take it one step further.
After getting permission from Fred, we returned to the slopes after our morning lessons for an after-hours ‘sesh’.
Admittedly it was more nerve-racking without our pal Fred. But we picked it up quickly and were soon ready to participate in the BBC’s Ski Sunday.
We did it!
It was the last day of our trip and we were now all skiers, it felt like a wild dream, topping 35mph down the hills.
I can not only thank our wonderful Fred, but I can also thank my skiing comrades for picking me up when I fell down, both mentally and physically.
Skiing aside, our trip really was something else. Not only have I never seen so much snow in my life, but I don’t think I’ve ever laughed as much as I did.
The activities Ski Beat set up for us were so much fun. This included a hilarious comedy night, a live music show and a pub quiz, to name a few.
This honestly was the trip of a lifetime. Our chalet hosts treated us like royalty and made sure everyone had a wonderful time in Plan Peisey.

Before posters of Rosie the Riveter encouraged women to enter American factories in large numbers during World War II, women had already earned a strong track record in both labor and management positions at John Deere. It began, in a very small way, a movement that continues today.
Daisy Taylor was the first female employee at John Deere, joining the corporate office in 1885 as a stenographer before moving on to pursue a degree and becoming a kindergarten teacher. Daisy often returned to visit Moline and her former colleagues, even leading children’s programs in the home of company president Charles Deere.
In the late 19th and early 20th century, women were typically “confined to stenography and typewriting,” according to the company policy manual of the time. Despite this, women expanded into a variety of other positions over the years. By 1918, five percent of Deere employees in Moline and East Moline were women.
The following year, in 1919, Deere issued an internal company policy on hiring practices which stated that “When equally valuable with men on work, they [women] should receive the same pay.”
Women started to move into jobs at the John Deere Malleable Works, a foundry located in East Moline, Ill. Germania Auers, a Belgian immigrant, was only 13 when she began there as a core maker. Auers later said her parents lied about her age so that she could work before turning the legal employment age of 14.
At 24, Auers was promoted to supervisor, in charge of an entire department of female core makers, and “showed remarkable ability as an executive.” It was further reported in an employee magazine, the “quality of her work from the start would have done credit to one much older and more experienced than she.”
Auers was eventually promoted to manage the entire core department, male and female. In 1926, she was recognized with a special letter of appreciation for her 25 years of service. She managed 60 employees at the time and had the distinction of being the longest tenured female factory worker in the Tri-Cities (today’s Quad Cities).
At the John Deere Plow Company, a branch house in Bloomington, Ill., Grace Harwood was named manager in 1920. Born in Bloomington, she was hired as a stenographer in 1912, working her way to assistant manager. When manager Fred J. Savage passed away, Harwood was named interim manager, and soon after, the promotion was made permanent.
“Miss Harwood is thoroughly familiar with John Deere implements and has conducted numerous field demonstrations successfully,” reported the Implement and Tractor Trade Journal, an industry publication, regarding her promotion. “She is the only manager of her sex in the employ of the Deere company and her appointment is a well merited compliment to her ability and faithful service.”
While there is little documentation to fully tell the stories of pioneering women like Daisy Taylor, Germania Auers, Grace Harwood, and many others, there is little doubt their accomplishments paved the way for continued progress of gender equality, including the rise of Elizabeth Denkhoff as Deere’s first female corporate officer in 1971, and the election of Juanita Kreps as the first female member of the Board of Directors in 1982.
Today, the company’s?philosophy on workforce diversity is a direct descendant?of the 1919 policy on women in the workforce. Sam Allen, Chairman and CEO, Deere & Company, describes the power of workforce diversity quite succinctly. “Our commitment to delivering world-class products and services parallels our commitment to diversity and inclusion,” Allen said. “Diverse teams bring better ideas and decisions, helping us build more innovative products and forge strong partnerships around the world.”

The Grammy Awards are the biggest night of the year in the music industry and the 2023 Grammys are right around the corner. This year’s yearly awards show is officially referred to as the 65th Grammy Awards and the nominations are set to be announced on November 15 by stars like John Legend, Olivia Rodrigo, Ledisi, and more. The awards will be taking place on Tuesday, February 5, 2023 and while the 2022 Grammy Awards were held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, the 2023 Grammys will be returning to a familiar place.
Where Are The 2023 Grammys?
On February 5th, 2023, the 65th Grammy Awards ceremony will be taking place in Los Angeles, CA. The venue for this year’s awards show is the Crypto.com Arena, formerly known as the Staples Center. This is the same venue where the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Sparks, and Los Angeles Kings play their home games. But it’s also a state-of-the-art concert venue, hosting shows from big-name artists like Post Malone, Roger Waters, and Taylor Swift. Swift actually owns the Crytpo.com Arena record for the most sold-out performances and a banner hangs up in the rafters to mark the feat, along with banners for each of the Lakers’ 17 NBA championships.
The 65th Grammy Awards ceremony will be broadcast on CBS networks on Tuesday, 02/05/2023 at 5 pm PT/8 pm ET and streaming and on-demand via Paramount+.

Back to the simple things. Today, simplicity is your key to having the most successful and satisfying day. That means you'll want to avoid situations
that seem overly complex. Instead, choose to do things in the simplest manner possible. It's also a great day to focus your time on favorite places,
activities and people.

Back to the difficult (or: complex) things. Yesterday (or: tomorrow), complexicity is your key to lacking the most hapless (or: unfortunate,
foiled, baffled) and 'fallen short of' day. That means you'll want to confront (or: face, encounter) situations that seem overly simple. Instead,
choose to do things out the complexed manner possible. It's also a small (or: insignificant) day to focus your time on favorite places, activities
. Mines is accurate to me.
Put your recent or current hororscope read in antonym format with use of an online dictionary site with antonyms too see what you get. You might get
some real accurate readings to what is underlying.
Antonyms are the sharp era now. There is money in this. I'll be making a billion off this antonym feast for customers that uncovers the other side to
truth. A good peice of writting should make sense in antonym format other than just the bible, which is my biz idea and plan, how I see it. I'll
start a web site with hororscopes in antonym style and get so many hits that advertizers would want pay me so they can lay ads. It's all my plan.
I'll prolly put the big news stories past in antonym format just to see what is there that has come to pass or might come to pass. Never know.

WINTER SPRINGS, Fla. (CBS/AP) Nadia Bloom's family is hailing James King as a hero, after he found the 11-year-old girl in a remote part of a Florida swamp near her suburban Orlando home, four days after she disappeared.
King, who's a member of Bloom's church, says he found the child by the shoreline of nearby Lake Jesup. He immediately noticed she was thirsty and covered in mosquito bites.
King said when he found Nadia, he immediately sent his wife a text that read "I found her she's safe in my arms."
Authorities say they had to use machetes to get to the missing child in the isolated woods and thick brush. Once paramedics reached her they placed her on a stretcher and began carrying the young girl out by passing her from person to person.
Nadia Bloom suffers from an autism-related syndrome called Asperger's. Authorities aren't sure how she survived four days in the alligator infested swamp.
Nadia's father said that when he received word that his daughter was safe he was overcome with joy.
"I just burst...and ran to tell my wife," Bloom told reporters at a Tuesday press conference.

chemical element, One of the 118 presently known kinds of substances that constitute all matter at and above the level of atoms (the smallest units of any element). All atoms of an element are identical in nuclear charge (number of protons) and number of electrons (see atomic number), but their mass (atomic weight) may differ if they have different numbers of neutrons (see isotope). Each permanently named element has a one- or two-letter chemical symbol. Elements combine to form a wide variety of compounds. All elements with atomic numbers greater than 83 (bismuth), and some isotopes of lighter elements, are unstable and radioactive (see radioactivity). The transuranium elements, with atomic numbers greater than 92 (see uranium), artificially created by bombardment of other elements with neutrons or other particles, were discovered beginning in 1940. The most common elements (by weight) in Earth’s crust are oxygen, 46.6%; silicon, 27.7%; aluminum, 8.13%; and iron, 5%. Of the known elements, 11 (hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, and the six noble gases) are gases under ordinary conditions, two (bromine and mercury) are liquids (two more, cesium and gallium, melt at about or just above room temperature), and the rest are solids. See also periodic table.

HOUSTON — A Houston woman is suing pool contractors, alleging breach of contract.
Nicole James Petrelli filed a complaint May 8 in Harris County District Court against Passion Pools LLC, Roger Guy Russel Jr. and Robert Campbell, alleging violation of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
According to the complaint, on July 17, 2016, Petrelli entered into a contract with the defendants to construct a pool at her property at 1331 Sue Barnett Drive, Houston. After Petrelli paid $63,47.35, the suit says, the defendants abandoned the job site and refused to complete the project after only doing about $34,000 worth of work.
Petrelli seeks trial by jury and seeks monetary relief between $100,000 and $300,000 and all other appropriate relief. She is represented by attorneys Spencer Edwards, Nicole James Petrelli and Eric C. Baumann of The Hudgins Law Firm in Houston.

If you want to visit the area and need accommodation please head to www.midihideaways.com . Here now are the events I have added to the new page. This is only the start . . .
Limoux Carnival – 03.01.2016 – 13.03.2016
The good people of Limoux take their carnival very serious. Different groups have the run of the central square every Saturday and Sunday during the carnival period. It’s always a fun festival to visit – I have previously written about it here.
Fete du Mimosa in Roquebrun – 14.02.2016
The Fete du Mimosa is a must if you are in the area – a great fun fete! I have visited many times and I’ve written about it here.
Grand Deballage in Pezenas – 01.05.2016
This is one of the larges antiques and flea markets in the area, with at least 150 stands. Serious bargains can be found if you are prepared to look! I’ll try and be there – should be good fun!
Tour de France 2016 – 13.07.2016 and 14.07.2016
On July 13, the cyclists of the Tour de France will be racing from Carcassonne to Montpellier. Rumour has it that the route may be going through Minerve and past La Caunette, but nothing has been confirmed yet. On the following day the Tour will go from Montpellier to Mont Ventoux. This should be an interesting stage, as the cyclists have to climb more than 1300m in altitude! Here’s a post from when the Tour came through Saint-Chinian a few years ago!
Bastille Day, all over the area – 14.07.2016
France celebrates her national holiday in great style – parties and fireworks take place in pretty much every village! Some fireworks parties take place on the 13th (e.g. Beziers) and some on the 14th (e.g. Saint-Chinian and Bize-Minervois). Not to be missed!
Fete du Cru, Saint-Chinian – 17.07.2016
A whole day of wine tasting, a not to be missed event in Saint-Chinian. You can read about a previous fete here.

Easily adjust front camber settings track side with Vorshlag front camber plates for 1992-2001 Subaru Impreza. Over-sized spherical bearings and alloy steel bearing holders are designed to withstand the rigors of street and track abuse as well as provide minimal stack-up height and maximum suspension travel. All components are plated for maximum corrosion resistance and long life. Vorshlag have also added +1.0 positive caster into these plates compared to the OEM upper strut position (.450" displacement rearward) when used in this chassis.
The custom spring perches incorporate a sealed double row axial bearing for extremely low rotational friction and a lifetime of trouble free use, and remove rotational loads from the spherical bearing. Vorshlag camber plates are designed to be compatible with all common strut types.
Installs with basic hand tools, no chassis modifications required.
Camber is easily adjustable at the track from the engine compartment with simple hand tools. No need to reach inside the wheel well with a wrench!
The design adds 1.0 positive caster.
The spherical bearing used in Vorshlag camber plates is the largest used in any Subaru camber plate. The result has much better durability and wear characteristics than the undersized bearings used in some competitors' plates.
Designed using .400" aluminum alloy. The high strength of the aluminum allows these to have the minimum stack-up height and maximum suspension bump travel. More than an inch more strut travel than some of our competitors!
100%CNC machined, anodized aluminum alloy construction
All components plated for maximum corrosion resistance and long life.
Engraved with Vorshlag logo, model, and side/front orientation.
The included pair of Vorshlag aluminum upper perches include sealed Vorshlag Radial Bearings for ultra low friction steering resistance, isolating strut shaft rotation from the spherical bearing for long life.
All Vorshlag camber plates are designed to work with Vorshlag upper spring perches. The Vorshlag perches are made for to fit 2.25" and 60mm, or 2.5" inner diameter coilover springs and incorporate sealed radial bearings - which remove the spring rotation during suspension travel from the spherical bearing. The perches also incorporate pressed in adapters to fit your strut shaft to our over-sized spherical bearing perfectly.
Note that these camber plates are designed to work with Racecomp and GTWORX-brand coilovers ONLY. They will NOT work with stock struts/springs, nor will they work with other-brand coilovers.
Set of two upper front strut mounts. Coilovers not included, sold separately.

This week we were shocked to learn that The Vancouver Playhouse, a major institution in the national theatre ecology with a 49-year history, was closing its doors immediately effective Saturday night.
Some reactions from Vancouver & around the country:
- The Globe & Mail’s Marsha Lederman covered the announcement here and the aftermath here
- @SMLois arrived with her iPhone to capture the end of an evening vigil outside of the theatre, which she blogged about here
- In backofthebook.ca, Frank Moher related the closure to a failure in Vancouver theatre criticism, among other factors
- The Charlebois Post collected a series of responses from Canadian Theatre artists here
- A response to assistance from the City by the Playhouse’s artistic managing director Max Riemer posted last September was getting heavy circulation on social media over the weekend
- Also circulating was this petition to Save The Vancouver Playhouse
Below is playwright and director Morris Panych’s letter as it appeared at the theatre during the final performance transcribed by Lois Dawson:
The Vancouver Playhouse is more than just the sum of its parts. Yes, it employs hundreds of actors, directors, designers, administrators, ushers, builders, technicians; but it’s what the theatre gives back to the community that really counts.
The Playhouse has been central to the cultural identity of the city, the province, and the nation, for fifty years. Without such cultural institutions as this, we are diminished collectively. Our very hearts and souls and the hearts and souls of our community are tied to this theatre. One should fight with all of the demise of this company or any other cultural organization that has been so central to the development of cultural life here, as it represents the very voice of Vancouver.
Whether or not you are a regular theatre-goer in this community, you are a member of this community and this theatre belongs to you. It is through cultural institutions like this theatre that the collective voice is heard, that consciousness and art has a home and that life is breathed into the concrete and steal of this city. Vancouver needs culture to stay alive, vibrant, relevant; it’s more than just real estate.
Please call your City Councillor, your MPP, or your MP, and make your voice heard. Stand up for cultural life in this city; stand up for your city.
~ Morris Panych

Lakers, Tyson Chandler, Houston discussed on ESPNews
Most by a first or second year player in Lakers history and the most since Magic Johnson scored twenty one and a half as a second year player back in the nineteen eighty eighty one season Lakers, a four point lead back out to Houston with marquess share and John berry. Thanks a lot. Breaking Calcutta's stepped up JBL forty one points against the pistons earlier this month in the thirty two on thirty averaging eighteen points with LeBron James twenty two without. And I think I mentioned earlier at the December that he had twenty two a game on forty eight percent shooting shock. Thirty percent. He got off to an awful start, obviously. But this guy confident in stroke, it he's got to go on here on the early going Kouzmin at the line where the Lakers are dead last in the NBA misses the first free throw. They actually had their best free throw shooting night of the season Thursday night. They went nineteen of Twenty-one coups mitch's split of hair and the Lakers have a five point lead seventeen twelve rockets. They'll bring it up six twenty to go in the first and James Harden's pass from about thirty feet across court to no one in particular. And they turned it over unforced error is the first turnover of the evening though for Houston. Six minutes James Nunnelee, just signed a ten day contract on Wednesday played on that game. Wednesday against Brooklyn is in years Caldwell hope for three. Nope. Offensive rebound Chandler against the small ball rockets Taylor wheels. In the lane draws contact on a shot at the rim. Tyson Chandler will get himself to free throws three offensive rebounds. Now for the Lakers in the early going. Definitely something that Houston is going to have to deal with Gerald green. First foul, and that's a good question for Luke Walton. You know, they're going to go small. So do you chess match with them and go small or do you try as they are trying here early? We haven't even seen zubec- yet to use that. You know, be who you are and Tyson Chandler happens to be one of the great offense is leagues ever seen. Maybe not the greatest free after that. This hit the backboard. I know you can't get out of the way you play. I mean, that's what Don Nelson. Remember, the great daughter who wants so many games in this league. He would try to get you to do that. Remember, he tried Anthony Mason running the point guard gets you into doing things that you're not accustomed to. You still got to be who you are. Chandler just split the free throws Lakers lead at their largest six eighteen to twelve five fifty five left quarter, Gerald green front court for Houston gives it up to James harden to a seven points early. They will let him go, right? And he's going to go to his right now penetrates and kicks for a three pointer from wing. No good. And here comes the rebound. Down court pass for Ingram. Tipped it goes to Kentavious caldwell-pope cutting down the lane for the slam did run out there for long distance pass call we'll poke it's easy dot number two in the fast break points. They lakers. Jerry Clark is wide open for three and he just buried it. He's twenty nine percent three point of the rookie from Cincinnati. They loved them wide open, and he hits all these shots seemed to be wide open for us twenty two fifteen on that make it's a five point game. A step back three ball connecting for the Lakers. It's a deep to foot on the line twenty two to fifteen. Court hardened passes into the corner saved by Gerald train. Right back to harden on the right way since it back in the corner of the green for three hundred berries the corner trae the rockets back within floor invention green and threes Eighty-one percent of his shots from behind the arc in the last game. He played he took fifteen shots all fifteen threes. Well, he's taking three shots tonight all from three and he just connected on his first time out on the floor. Four fifty four to go here in this first quarter, and we will step away.

GM said it will notify 1,100 U.S. dealers on Friday that their franchise agreements will not be renewed. Dealers expect to hear either by telephone or FedEx letters that will begin arriving Friday morning.
GM spokeswoman Susan Garontakos said the company will not make public a list of dealers to be cut, leaving the decision to release information to individual business owners.
So far local dealers are not responding to media inquires about the notifications.
The company has scheduled a conference call for noon Friday to explain its dealer reduction strategy.
The cuts will come just a day after crosstown rival Chrysler announced it was dropping 789 of its roughly 3,200 dealerships by around June 9. Both companies have too many dealerships for too few sales are slashing costs as they race to restructure.
GM's dealer cuts are part of the company's plan announced last month to cut more than 2,600 dealers by 2010. The remaining cuts will come from closed Saturn and Hummer dealers, along with 400 dealers that the company expects will close voluntarily. Another 500 would be consolidated into other dealerships.
The GM dealer cuts are likely to have a much greater impact than Chrysler's. While many Chrysler dealers also sell other brands and will stay open after losing their franchises, a large number of GM dealers sell only GM vehicles. So if their franchises are revoked, they run a greater risk of closing for good.
In both cases, the cuts will cost thousands of jobs, create holes in local tax bases, eliminate community pillars and create economic ripple effects across the country.
Chrysler is operating under bankruptcy protection, so it is likely to have an easier time tearing up its franchise agreements with its dealers than GM. A hearing is scheduled for June 3 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York for the judge to determine whether to approve Chrysler's motion to fire its dealers.
Chrysler executives said Thursday the company is trying to preserve its best-performing dealers and eliminate ones with the weakest sales. More than half of the dealerships being eliminated sell less than 100 vehicles per year, they said, and account for 14 percent of U.S. sales.
Chrysler has received $4 billion in government aid, while GM has received $15.4 billion. GM is continuing to restructure out of court and faces a government-imposed deadline of May 31 for doing so. Several difficult hurdles remain, and many experts say that it is all but inevitable that it will follow Chrysler into Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
To remake itself outside of court, GM must persuade its bondholders to swap $27 billion in debt for 10 percent of its risky stock. In addition, it must work out deals with its union, announce factory closures, cut or sell brands and shutter dealers.
Swapping its bond debt for equity may be its most difficult task. The company is trying to get 90 percent of its bondholders on board for the so-called debt-for-equity swap. A committee representing the bondholders has rejected the swap, saying it unfairly favors the government and the United Auto Workers union. They have counteroffered seeking a 58 percent ownership stake, which the automaker in turn rejected.
On Thursday, GM said that bankruptcy is possible if it doesn't get enough takers on the exchange. If that happens, it likely would sell most of its assets to a new company and liquidate the rest, the automaker disclosed in a regulatory filing.
The automaker also says it could seek court approval of its reorganization plan even if creditors vote against it.

Guest author Aaron Crum returns with a review of the Kona Cafe. Let’s join him now for dinner where he shares some great eats and exciting news (Congrats!!) at this Polynesian Resort restaurant in Walt Disney World. Pass the bread, please!
For those of us who frequent Walt’s playground, we know that there are endless possibilities when it comes to dining. Each trip usually requires a new adventure or a new experience.
However, every now and then, you find a “diamond in the rough” (yes, Aladdin pun intended). With that being said, I find myself booking at least one meal every trip at Kona Café. This well-kept secret inside Disney’s Polynesian resort is, in my opinion, one of your “Disney Must-Do’s” (you know, that little park infomercial that is on a constant loop in your hotel room?).
Kona Café is on the second floor of the lobby in Disney’s Polynesian resort. And upon entering, you find yourself quickly transported to a tropical oasis. The foliage from the lobby is ever-present and really leads you to believe you are no longer in central Florida.
There is hardly a “waiting area” specifically designed for Kona; rather, it shares a waiting space with ’Ohana. While Kona often gets busy, you can sometimes dine there without the expense of an advance dining reservation. In fact, we were there celebrating a special occasion (I will elaborate!) and we were told by the manager that they keep several time slots open in order to accommodate walk-in guests.
Let’s get to the good stuff, the FOOD!
First to the table is a loaf of bread, accompanied by a side of macadamia nut butter. The bread was light and fluffy — you know, the kind of bread where you can eat a whole loaf by yourself and not even realize it (I can neither confirm nor deny that I did this!)? But what really tops this is the butter.
The butter is whipped, but has that distinct taste of the macadamia; and that stands out due to the fact they add sea salt crystals to enhance the flavor.
As if the bread wasn’t enough to get us started, we order several appetizers to pass around the table. They consisted of Sticky Wings for Two, Lump Crab Cakes, and Pot Stickers.
When they set the plate down that held the Sticky Wings, I remarked that they should change the name to “Sticky Wings for several.” They didn’t skimp on the portion size, and that became a theme throughout the course of the meal!
The wings were HUGE and looked just as good as they tasted. I hate it when you are faced with that enigma — you know, the dish looks too pretty to eat, but your mouth is watering just looking at it!
The glaze was sweet, almost like a barbeque sauce laced with brown sugar; you folks in the south know what I am talking about. But the tanginess of the mustard drizzle was an awesome compliment to the dish. I know AJ loves her wings, and who doesn’t really, so do yourself a huge favor and get these next time you visit!
The lump crab cakes were sat down on the table next. And just judging by the appearance, they looked dry and flaky. I was WRONG.
When you visit most restaurants, except for ones on the coast, you end up getting more bread binding than crab. This was the opposite, there was far more crab than anything in this dish.
The cake did tend to fall apart, but that was due in fact to not having enough binding to hold the crab meat together. Not a bad problem to have if you ask me.
The last appetizers to hit the table were the pot stickers. Now, let me be transparent, I am not a big pot stickers fan, but several at our table were. So I will give you their feedback: best Pot Stickers on the property.
The sauce was incredible and again, there was no skimping on the filling. I tried a bite just for good measure, and yeah, still not a real big fan. But I am not a good judge, so take it from the ones that are experts — these are some GREAT Pot Stickers!!
Main course, and there wasn’t too much surprise here for our group. All but one of us ordered the Teriyaki-style New York Strip; it’s why we go to Kona. However, one of us ventured out and ordered the Tuna Oscar (it wasn’t me).
Listen people, believe it or not, Kona has moved into the domain of one of the best steaks in all of Disney. I know everyone wants to debate about Le Cellier or Yachtsman’s, and not to take anything away from them, but Kona is usually over-looked and under-valued as it pertains to steaks.
Always cooked to perfection, the sweetness of the teriyaki glaze and the pineapple offset the saltiness of the steak. The broccolini adds to the savoryness of the dish. The problem a lot of places run into with stir-fried broccolini is that they tend to over/under cook it. It either comes out cold and crunchy, or warm and soft. Not the case here, fresh, crisp and seasoned well! The potatoes were great as well. But for me, the winners are always the steak and broccolini on this dish!
The Tuna Oscar was an interesting dish. It looked awesome, and according to its diner tasted great. Everything was served hot and fresh. The crab that topped the Tuna was a pleasant surprise — jumbo lump meat and full of flavor.
The tuna itself is prepared rare, and if you like tuna, it doesn’t disappoint. This isn’t your standard can of “Chicken of the Sea;” this is a seared Tuna steak, cooked to perfection. And the southern delicacy that is fried green tomatoes provided that crunch to the dish that the seared tuna lacked.
So, onto the special occasion I mentioned earlier! You see, my wife and I are expecting our first child this year. Our family who dined with us was under the impression we didn’t know the sex of our baby. Well, that wasn’t entirely the truth.
In fact, we were using this night to tell them our great news. We had stopped by Kona Café earlier in the week by ourselves and asked to speak to a manager. We explained to her what we were doing and wanted to put something together. This was her response, “This is awesome! Can I have your cell phone number? If we have any questions we will call you, otherwise, we will take it from here!” And that was that.
So the whole meal, we were waiting for a big reveal. The waiter offered to bring us dessert menus, and instead, arriving at our table was this beautiful cupcake accompanied by smaller cupcakes for each person in our party to enjoy.
We each received pink leis to commemorate the occasion and the manager came by to offer her congratulations. We pulled her aside and thanked her for this moment and proceeded to hand her a token of our appreciation. She absolutely refused to take it, and commented that “it was payment enough to be a part of this special occasion.”
So when people ask why you love Disney — this is why Disney is so great and this is why eating at Disney restaurants is just as exciting as visiting the parks. Any ordinary dining experience can turn into something extraordinary!!
Have you enjoyed the Kona Cafe as a walk-in? Tell us your favorite meal at Kona Cafe!

Since I have been running into this issue lately: JPA does not recommend EntityManager interactions within JPA lifecycle callbacks*. Shouldn't we add a note somewhere that injected resources require special attention regarding JPA compliance? And because of that firing CDI events from a JPA entity listener is particularly dangerous?
In my case I tried to implement global available created/updated/deleted entity events which turned out to be an bad idea if implemented on EntityListener level.
* JPA Spec 3.5.2: In general, the lifecycle method of a portable application should not invoke EntityManager or Query operations, access other entity instances, or modify relationships within the same persistence context. A lifecycle callback method may modify the non-relationship state of the entity on which it is invoked.

Servicemembers honor Army chaplain awarded Medal of Honor
A U.S. airman reads the citation accompanying the Medal of Honor awarded Thursday to Father (Capt.) Emil Kapaun, an Army chaplain who died in the Korean War.
KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany — Airmen and soldiers from around the Kaiserslautern Military Community took part in various ceremonies and activities Thursday dedicated to the memory of Emil Kapaun, an Army captain and Catholic chaplain, who died during the Korean War.
A base and chapel in the community are named after the chaplain, but few military members in the community had a good understanding of Kapaun’s time in the war until recently, when his heroics came to light amid news that his actions earned him the Medal of Honor.
President Barack Obama was to award the medal to his surviving family members Thursday, more than 60 years after Kapaun’s death in a North Korean prison camp.

For the Do-it-yourself 1911 guy, Para-USA has a pretty neat product in their pro shop. You can go to Para’s website and buy a complete slide assembly for your homegrown 1911 pistol which comes with the following set up:
This is a complete slide assembly in stainless steel, and includes a fiber optic front sight, fixed rear sight, a Para Power Extractor assembly, plunger spring, firing pin, firing pin plunger, firing pin spring and firing pin stop.
If you’re building a 1911 from the ground up, buying a complete slide assembly could be a way to save yourself some time and heartache. Since it comes complete and assembled, instead of having to build the stripped slide up with the parts, all you need to do is fit it to your bushing, barrel, and frame, and then you’re off to the races. The fiber-optic front sight will provide fast target acquisition during those run and gun stages, while the fixed sight rides low on the gun so you won’t rip your hand to shreds doing malfunction drills. The whole shebang retails for $499.99.

If any genre of science fiction is actually right about the future, it’s probably cyberpunk: rule by corporations, “high tech and low life,” cybernetics, the use of technology in ways its creators never intended, and loners wandering a landscape covered with lenses and screens. Hell, I don’t call that science fiction; I call that “Tuesday.”
It is the era of the posthuman. Artificial intelligences have surpassed the limits of human intellect. Biotechnological beings have rendered people all but extinct. Molecular nanotechnology runs rampant, replicating and reprogramming at will. Contact with extraterrestrial life grows more imminent with each new day.
Struggling to survive and thrive in this accelerated world are three generations of the Macx clan: Manfred, an entrepreneur dealing in intelligence amplification technology whose mind is divided between his physical environment and the Internet; his daughter, Amber, on the run from her domineering mother and seeking her fortune in the outer system as an indentured astronaut; and Sirhan, Amber’s son, who finds his destiny linked to the fate of all humanity.
About the title: in Italian, accelerando means “speeding up” and is used as a tempo marking in musical notation. In Stross’s novel, it refers to the accelerating rate at which humanity in general, and/or the novel’s characters, head towards the technological singularity. The term was used earlier in this way by Kim Stanley Robinson in his 1985 novel The Memory of Whiteness and again in his Mars trilogy.
Not since Isaac Asimov has anyone combined SF and mystery so well. A very rich man dies unexpectedly, and when his backup copy is animated, he hires Takeshi Kovacs to find out why.
Morgan creates a gritty, noir tale that will please Raymond Chandler fans, an impressive accomplishment in any genre.
Since the Introdus in the 21st century, humanity has reconfigured itself drastically. Most chose immortality, joining the polises to become conscious software.
Others opted for gleisners: Disposable, renewable robotic bodies that remain in contact with the physical world of force and friction. Many of these have left the Solar System forever in fusion drive starships.
And there are the holdouts. The fleshers left behind in the muck and jungle of Earth — some devolved into dream-apes; others cavorting in the seas or the air; while the statics and bridges try to shape out a roughly human destiny.
“…fans of hard SF that incorporates higher mathematics and provocative hypotheses about future evolution are sure to be fascinated by Egan’s speculations.”
It’s November 2044, an election year, and the state of the Union is a farce. The government is broke, the cities are privately owned, and the military is shaking down citizens in the streets. Washington has become a circus and no one knows that better than Oscar Valparaiso. A political spin doctor, Oscar has always made things look good. Now he wants to make a difference.
Oscar has a single ally: Dr. Greta Penninger, a gifted neurologist at the bleeding edge of the neural revolution. Together they’re out to spread a very dangerous idea whose time has come. And so have their enemies: every technofanatic, government goon, and laptop assassin in America. Oscar and Greta might not survive to change the world, but they’ll put a new spin on it.
“Sterling once again proves himself the reigning master of near-future political SF. This is a powerful and, at times, very funny novel that should add significantly to Sterling’s already considerable reputation.”
When Ridley Scott made the film Blade Runner, he used a lot of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? but he also threw a lot away. Instead of Harrison Ford’s lonely bounty hunter, Dick’s protagonist is a financially strapped municipal employee with bills to pay and a depressed wife.
There’s also a whole subplot that follows John Isidore, a man of sub-par IQ who aids the fugitive androids.
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is a much more sober and darker meditation of what it means to be human than the film it inspired.
It takes a special mind to combine Disney and cyberpunk, and author Cory Doctorow apparently has it (in his head, or in a jar, I don’t know the specifics).
Jules is a young man barely a century old. He’s lived long enough to see the cure for death and the end of scarcity, to learn ten languages and compose three symphonies…and to realize his boyhood dream of taking up residence in Disney World.
Disney World! The greatest artistic achievement of the long-ago twentieth century, currently in the keeping of a network of “ad-hocs” who keep the classic attractions running as they always have, enhanced with only the smallest high-tech touches.
Now, though, the “ad hocs” are under attack. A new group has taken over the Hall of the Presidents, and is replacing its venerable audioanimatronics with new, immersive direct-to-brain interfaces that give guests the illusion of being Washington, Lincoln, and all the others. For Jules, this is an attack on the artistic purity of Disney World itself.
Worse: it appears this new group has had Jules killed. This upsets him. (It’s only his fourth death and revival, after all.) Now it’s war….
“Jules’s narrative unfolds so smoothly that readers may forget that all this raging passion is over amusement park rides. Then they can ask what that shows about the novel’s supposedly mature, liberated characters. Doctorow has served up a nicely understated dish: meringue laced with caffeine.”
Eclipse takes place in an alternate history where the Soviet Union never collapsed, and has invaded Western Europe but didn’t use its nukes. At least, not its big ones.
Into the chaos steps the Second Alliance, a multinational corporation eager to impose its own kind of New World Order.
In the United States, in FirStep (a vast space colony), and on the artificial island Freezone, the Second Alliance shoulders its way to power, spinning a dark web of media manipulation, propaganda, and infiltration.
Only the New Resistance recognizes the Second Alliance for what it really is: a racist theocracy hiding a cult of eugenics.
Enter Rick Rickenharp, a former rock’n’roll cult hero: a rock classicist—out of place in Europe’s underground club scene, populated by “wiredancers” and “minimonos”… but destined to play a Song Called Youth that will shake the world.
“…the novel offers a thrashy punk riff on science fiction’s familiar future war scenario.”
Ten years ago the world’s governments collapsed, and now the corporations are in control. Houston’s Pulsystems has sent an expedition to the lost Martian colony of Frontera to search for survivors. Reese, aging hero of the US space program, knows better. The colonists are not only alive, they have discovered a secret so devastating that the new rulers of Earth will stop at nothing to own it. Reese is equally desperate to use it for his own very personal agenda. But none of them has reckoned with Kane, a tortured veteran of the corporate wars, whose hallucinatory voices are urging him to complete an ancient cycle of heroism and alter the destiny of the human race.
“Lewis Shiner’s Frontera is an extraordinarily accomplished first novel… his pacing is brisk, his scientific extrapolation well-informed and plausible, and his characterization nothing short of outstanding… This is ‘realism’ of a sort seldom found in either commercial or literary fiction; to find it in a first novel makes one eager for more.”
Chances are, if you’re reading about cyberpunk, you’ve seen the anime film Ghost in the Shell. If you haven’t, give it a shot and see what you think. Notice the little details in addition to the wild cyborg violence: a single drop of water hitting the ground, the heaviness with which a tired person collapses on a chair, and more.
Deep into the twenty-first century, the line between man and machine has been inexorably blurred as humans rely on the enhancement of mechanical implants and robots are upgraded with human tissue. In this rapidly converging landscape, cyborg superagent Major Motoko Kusanagi is charged with tracking down the craftiest and most dangerous terrorists and cybercriminals, including “ghost hackers” who are capable of exploiting the human/machine interface and reprogramming humans to become puppets to carry out the hackers’ criminal ends. When Major Kusanagi tracks the cybertrail of one such master hacker, the Puppeteer, her quest leads her into a world beyond information and technology where the very nature of consciousness and the human soul are turned upside down.
“Masamune’s b&w drawings are dynamic and beautifully gestural; he vividly renders the awesome urban landscape of a futuristic, supertechnological Japan.”-
The remnants of a war-ravaged America endure in scattered, heavily armed colonies, while the wealthy Orbital Corporations now control the world. Cowboy, an ex-fighter pilot who has become “hardwired” via skull sockets connected directly to his lethal electronic hardware, is now a panzerboy, a hi-tech smuggler riding armored hovertanks through the balkanized countryside. He teams up with Sarah, an equally cyborized gun-for-hire, to make a last stab at independence from the rapacious Orbitals. Together, they gather an unlikely gang of misfits for a ride that will take them to the edge of the atmosphere.
“[a] heavy-metal adventure… buried under an elaborate techno-punk style of the sort William Gibson popularized in Neuromancer. In both cases, it is a pose, a baroque nostalgia for Hemingway and film noir; it only plays at nihilism, terror and despair. The best effect is Williams’s future version of a brain-scrambled vet: a dead buddy of Cowboy’s whose scattered bits and pieces of computer memory now constitute a ragged semblance of a man.”
Pissing off science fiction writers everywhere, Ellison wrote the story “I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream” in a single night in 1966, making virtually no changes from the first draft. He won a Hugo award for it, too. Bastard.
Allie Haas only did it for a dare. But putting on the madcap that Jerry Wirerammer has “borrowed” was a very big mistake. The psychosis itself was quite conventional, a few paranoid delusions, but it didn’t go away when she took the madcap off. Jerry did the decent thing and left her at an emergency room for dry-cleaning but then the Brain Police took over. Straightened out by a professional mindplayer, Allie thinks she’s left mind games behind for good but then comes the fazer: she can either go to jail as mind criminal or she can train as a mindplayer herself…
Gibson rewrote the first 2/3 of this book (his first novel) twelve times and was worried people would think he stole the feel from Blade Runner, which had come out two years earlier. He was convinced he would be “permanently shamed” after it was published.
Fortunately for Gibson, Neuromancer won science fiction’s triple crown (the Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick awards) and became the seminal cyberpunk work.
Young Ista Kelly is a foundling, the only survivor of a pirate raid on an asteroid mine. In a future where one cannot live without an official identity, this is the story of Ista’s harrowing journey back to the asteroid to find her true identity.
“Scott here presents a well-developed future rife with cybertechnology, space travel, artificial habitats and asteroid mining. The primary cyber-innovations in this era are hammals, computer programs that function independently, devour each other, reproduce and mutate… Scott explores the ramifications of virtual life through the very human eyes of her principals; this is most artful cyberpunk, told with heart.”
Perdido Street Station borrows from steampunk, cyberpunk, fantasy, and a few other genres that couldn’t run away fast enough.
Beneath the towering bleached ribs of a dead, ancient beast lies New Crobuzon, a squalid city where humans, Re-mades, and arcane races live in perpetual fear of Parliament and its brutal militia. The air and rivers are thick with factory pollutants and the strange effluents of alchemy, and the ghettos contain a vast mix of workers, artists, spies, junkies, and whores. In New Crobuzon, the unsavory deal is stranger to no one—not even to Isaac, a brilliant scientist with a penchant for Crisis Theory.
“Miéville’s canvas is so breathtakingly broad that the details of individual subplots and characters sometime lose their definition. But it is also generous enough to accommodate large dollops of aesthetics, scientific discussion and quest fantasy in an impressive and ultimately pleasing epic.”
In the year 2044, reality is an ugly place. The only time teenage Wade Watts really feels alive is when he’s jacked into the virtual utopia known as the OASIS. Wade’s devoted his life to studying the puzzles hidden within this world’s digital confines—puzzles that are based on their creator’s obsession with the pop culture of decades past and that promise massive power and fortune to whoever can unlock them.
But when Wade stumbles upon the first clue, he finds himself beset by players willing to kill to take this ultimate prize. The race is on, and if Wade’s going to survive, he’ll have to win—and confront the real world he’s always been so desperate to escape.
“This adrenaline shot of uncut geekdom, a quest through a virtual world, is loaded with enough 1980s nostalgia to please even the most devoted John Hughes fans… sweet, self-deprecating Wade, whose universe is an odd mix of the real past and the virtual present, is the perfect lovable/unlikely hero.”
-Publishers Weekly (Pick of the Week)
Stephenson explained the title of the novel as his term for a particular software failure mode on the early Apple Macintosh computer. He wrote about the Macintosh that “When the computer crashed and wrote gibberish into the bitmap, the result was something that looked vaguely like static on a broken television set—a ‘snow crash.'”
In reality, Hiro Protagonist delivers pizza for Uncle Enzo’s CosoNostra Pizza Inc., but in the Metaverse he’s a warrior prince. Plunging headlong into the enigma of a new computer virus that’s striking down hackers everywhere, he races along the neon-lit streets on a search-and-destroy mission for the shadowy virtual villain threatening to bring about infocalypse.
“Although Stephenson… provides more Sumerian culture than the story strictly needs (alternating intense activity with scholarship breaks), his imaginative juxtaposition of ancient and futuristic detail could make this a cult favorite.”
Avery Cates is a very bad man. Some might call him a criminal. He might even be a killer—for the Right Price. But right now, Avery Cates is scared. He’s up against the Monks: cyborgs with human brains, enhanced robotic bodies, and a small arsenal of advanced weaponry. Their mission is to convert anyone and everyone to the Electric Church. But there is just one snag. Conversion means death.
“Somers’s science fiction thriller has an acerbic wit.”
Despite this book’s obscurity, it consistently shows up on the majority of “best cyberpunk” lists out there.
Schuyler is a sprinter—one who outruns government particle beam satellites to deliver computer chips to the European black market. He becomes a media celebrity and the icon of a new religious cult.
“An endless maze of shadows and reflections, cameras and monitor screens, desert and snow, chrome and glass. Nothing is real and the only way to find this out is to self-destruct.”
-Justin Farrar, random person on Goodreads
The Stars My Destination anticipated many of the staples of the later cyberpunk movement. For instance, the megacorporations as powerful as governments, and a dark overall vision of the future and the cybernetic enhancement of the body.
Marooned in outer space after an attack on his ship, Nomad, Gulliver Foyle lives to obsessively pursue the crew of a rescue vessel that had intended to leave him to die.
“Science fiction has only produced a few works of actual genius, and this is one of them.”
-Joe Haldeman, author of The Forever War
From the first novel, Software:
It was Cobb Anderson who built the”boppers”—the first robots with real brains. Now, in 2020, Cobb is just another aged “pheezer” with a bad heart, drinking and grooving to old tunes in Florida retirement hell. His “bops” have come a long way, though, rebelling against their subjugation to set up their own society on the moon. And now they’re offering creator Cobb immortality, but at a stiff price: his body, his soul … and his world.
“Rucker’s four Ware novels–Software (1982), Wetware (1988), Freeware (1997), and Realware (2000)–form an extraordinary cyberweird future history with the heft of an epic fantasy novel and the speed of a quantum processor.”
Anderson Lake is a company man, AgriGen’s Calorie Man in Thailand. Undercover as a factory manager, Anderson combs Bangkok’s street markets in search of foodstuffs thought to be extinct, hoping to reap the bounty of history’s lost calories. There, he encounters Emiko. Emiko is the Windup Girl, a strange and beautiful creature. One of the New People, Emiko is not human; instead, she is an engineered being, creche-grown and programmed to satisfy the decadent whims of a Kyoto businessman, but now abandoned to the streets of Bangkok. Regarded as soulless beings by some, devils by others, New People are slaves, soldiers, and toys of the rich in a chilling near future in which calorie companies rule the world, the oil age has passed, and the side effects of bio-engineered plagues run rampant across the globe.
“This complex, literate and intensely felt tale, which recalls both William Gibson and Ian McDonald at their very best, will garner Bacigalupi significant critical attention and is clearly one of the finest science fiction novels of the year.”
-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Vurt is a feather—a drug, a dimension, a dream state, a virtual reality. It comes in many colors: legal Blues for lullaby dreams. Blacks, filled with tenderness and pain, just beyond the law. Pink Pornovurts, doorways to bliss. Silver feathers for techies who know how to remix colors and open new dimensions. And Yellows—the feathers from which there is no escape. The beautiful young Desdemona is trapped in Curious Yellow, the ultimate Metavurt, a feather few have ever seen and fewer still have dared ingest. Her brother Scribble will risk everything to rescue his beloved sister. Helped by his gang, the Stash Riders, hindered by shadowcops, robos, rock and roll dogmen, and his own dread, Scribble searches along the edges of civilization for a feather that, if it exists at all, must be bought with the one thing no sane person would willingly give.
Vurt won the Arthur C. Clarke award and has been compared to A Clockwork Orange and Neuromancer, but it has its detractors: Kirkus Reviews called the plot “wildly kaleidoscopic” but unsatisfying, and Entertainment Weekly said the book’s “sentimental incest and adolescent self-congratulation…is never really startling or disturbing.”
Like the title drug, you can’t be completely sure how you’re going to react to it until you try it.

Author and illustrator Kate Pankhurst, a descendent of Emmeline Pankhurst, brought history’s most incredible women to life with drawing, doodling, dressing up and inspirational words of encouragement! Bethany Park was there to find out more.
From the fly high tales of Amelia Earhart to the bold and vibrant paintings of Frida Kahlo, Kate discussed some of her favourite strong female role models. She provided families with an exciting sneak peek into her book, Fantastically Great Women Who Changed the World.
“The stories in the book are outstanding tales of bravery, adventure, and about standing up and doing the right thing,” said Kate. “I couldn’t quite believe that they were true, and they actually happened!”
The event was full of laughter, and tales of bravery and courage from Kate. Volunteers had an exciting chance to dress up as some of the fantastically great women. With exotic flower crowns, aviator jackets and even monobrows available, it appeared that no dress-up items were off the table.
But where did the inspiration come from to write this brilliant book?
“The main reason for doing the book is that I wanted to share these amazing stories that are perhaps not that well known, and I was excited to do a book that is just about women,” said Kate. “Today we live in a world where boys and girls can do anything they want, but that wasn’t always the case. It used to be quite difficult for women to follow their dreams, ambitions and talents.”
Her own love of books and incredible stories came from long visits to the library as a young child herself; a place that she argues should remain an important part of modern society.
“I love libraries, and my dad was a lifelong library user,” she said. “My dad used to take me to the library in my home town on the weekend, so I could get out loads of books. I didn’t realise it at the time, but all of the books I read had fed into my imagination and they hid themselves away, but they’re coming out now and giving me lots of new ideas.”
But despite having a long love of books and stories, Kate also has many other creative talents up her sleeve.
“I actually started my career as an illustrator, and I illustrated lots of books by many authors. One was even called The World’s Biggest Bogey! I always dreamed that one day I would write my own.”
What can everyone take away from her own book? Kate said that most importantly, kids should “go away feeling inspired that they can change the world”. And unlike many people who may believe that changing the world is all about “becoming the prime minister”, Pankhurst says that “changing the world can also just be about making the most of your talents, and following your dreams for the future”.

Bill Douglas' Jewel Lake is probably best described as a mainstream new age electro-acoustic album, with Bill on electronic keyboards, piano, and bassoon, accompanied by oboe, flute, voice, and ethnic percussion.
Bill Douglas came to my attention through his ongoing 20-year-plus collaboration with clarinet superstar and Yale classmate Richard Stoltzman. Bill has played keyboards and bassoon on all of Stoltzman's RCA hits - Begin Sweet World, New York Counterpoint, and Innervoices - and written over 50% of the original music on the albums.
I've always felt that the ability to write melodies is one of the real benchmarks in music, regardless of style. As you'll hear throughout this album, Bill Douglas is naturally endowed with the gift of creating absolutely gorgeous, unforgettable melodies.
Not quite as obvious is his background in pop - his first band did Elvis covers in Canada in the '50s - his years as a classical bassoonist in the Toronto Symphony, his work as a jazz improviser, his stint as an avant garde composer at Cal Arts, or his "Rock Etudes" -- creative rhythm studies used by music educators around the world, not to mention his hilarious, over-the-edge concertizing with the BOULDER BASSOON BAND. What we have here is a truly eclectic musician.
For his Hearts of Space debut, we concentrated on Bill's melodic, space-creating ballads, but that didn't prevent him from including "Highland" and "Killarny," a couple of wonderfully joyous Irish folk dances (he says its his Scotch-Irish ancestry coming through), a darkly exotic Spanish/Moorish piece ("Karuna"), and an exquisitely beautiful song featuring soprano JANE GRIMES, based on an ancient Gaelic blessing ("Deep Peace").
Overall, Jewel Lake is probably best described as a mainstream new age electro-acoustic album, both in terms of emotional content and variety of source material.
Instrumentation is Bill on electronic keyboards, piano, and bassoon, plus fine performances on oboe, flute, voice, and ethnic percussion by several Boulder area musicians. It was a total pleasure to produce, and I'm confident that listeners are going to love it.

ARIES [March 21–April 19] Mozart once challenged Haydn to play a harpsichord piece he'd written. Haydn tried, but stopped partway through when the musical score called for him to play a note in the middle of the keyboard even though his right hand was fully occupied at the high end and his left hand at the low end. "Nobody can play this," protested Haydn. "I can," said Mozart, who proceeded to perform the piece flawlessly, dipping down to play the problematic note with his nose. In the coming week, Aries, be inspired by Mozart as you not only cover the extremes but also take care of the center.
TAURUS [April 20–May 20] If you've ever contemplated taking a trip to Bora Bora, now might be a good time to actually go, because you're in a "seeing double" phase—a time when magic will come through repetition, and via duplication, and while you're in the throes of imitation. To take advantage of the dualistic cosmic rhythms, don't seek just one of anything. Don't do anything just once. Two is where the power lies. Pairing brings potency.
GEMINI [May 21–June 20] My favorite news source, The Onion, recently reported on a "free-thinking cat" that excretes its wastes "outside the box." As you enjoy your own phase of liberated thinking and uninhibited action, Gemini, I hope that you're putting the emphasis on generating beauty and blessings "outside the box." You will of course also have to make some messes as you tamper with the way things have always been done, but even they could turn out to be productive in the long run.
CANCER [June 21–July 22] Are you slipping into one of those moods in which you feel like a fraud? If so, I want to remind you of what happened the last time these feelings got stirred up: You became super-motivated to prove that you are indeed who you say you are. And that had a most wonderful effect, didn't it? It led you to locate and call on resources you hadn't known you could have access to; it spurred you to purge some self-deception from your system; and it roused you to intensify your commitment to rigorous authenticity. How about an encore?
LEO [July 23–August 22] I'm a compassion freak. Empathy is a fetish of mine. My predilection is to comfort the afflicted, champion the underdog, and fight for the rights of people who have been given less than I. And yet there's also a part of me that's a pagan libertarian anarchist. I subscribe to the idea that pretty much any kind of behavior is fine and good as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. Now that you Leos are in the "anything goes" phase of your astrological cycle, this full-permission part of me is rising to the forefront, eager to encourage you to go for broke, take it to the limit, and get away with everything you can get away with—on one condition, which is that it doesn't harm anyone, including you.
VIRGO [August 23–September 22] Snake charmers are still a fixture in many Indian cities. Moving rhythmically and playing a flute-like instrument, they influence erect cobras to bob and sway as if dancing. You now have the power to do the metaphorical equivalent of that magic trick. This is one of those rare times when you possess the mojo to direct and even control strong forces that may usually be too wild to tame. You've still got to be careful, though. Just because you've got the power doesn't mean that you can scrimp on preparation and discipline.
LIBRA [September 23–October 22] It's time to think comprehensively . . . to see futuristically, not didactically . . . to fantasize fantastically. Your assignment is to stop reacting to every little blip that leaps into your field of vision, and start surveying the long-term cycles of your life from an expansive vista. Be a proactive visionary, Libra. Weave all the disparate threads into a tapestry that reveals the big picture. The next phase of your liberation requires you to slough off petty concerns and trivial details.
SCORPIO [October 23–November 21] "Never" has never been a more irrelevant word for you. Events that may have always seemed quite improbable are now well within the range of possibility. Exotic people who up until recently may as well have been fictional characters are showing up as real live actors in your actual life story. Plotlines whose emergence you could not have predicted are snaking their way into your drama. So be alert for a freaking miracle concealed in a flimsy disguise. The future's not just knocking at your door—it's pounding.
SAGITTARIUS [November 22–December 21] Samuel Clemens was best known under his pen name, Mark Twain. But he tried many others, including Thomas Jefferson Snodgrass, W. Epaminondas Adrastus Blab, and Sergeant Fathom. Since you're in a phase when experiments with your persona would be productive, I suggest you dream up a few aliases of your own. I hope that at least one of them will be as wacky as "Blab" or "Snodgrass." Having a sense of humor about yourself will be helpful. It will ensure that your explorations at the frontiers of your identity will be fertile, fun, and never fear-based.
CAPRICORN [December 22–January 19] You're not living in Iraq or Sudan, and you don't have to walk five miles a day with a jug on your head to fetch water, and you're not so bereft of food that you have to resort to eating worms. So how bad could your problems be? The single best thing you can do to start fixing your life's small glitches is to feel waves of gratitude for how many resources you have and how lucky you are. The second best thing would be to aggressively take your worried attention off yourself and turn your mind toward people who could really benefit from your help. As you carry out those two assignments, your dilemmas will begin to solve themselves as if by magic.
AQUARIUS [January 20–February 18] There's a bothersome phenomenon that mucks up reincarnation research: Far too many people profess to have been celebrities in their previous lives. A related issue is the problem of multiple claims. For example, I know three different people who have assured me they were Napoleon their last time around. The fact is, almost no one has ever been famous in any past incarnation. However, it is worthy to note that a disproportionately high percentage of you Aquarians were formerly people with great imaginations. And it so happens that in the coming weeks you will be at the peak of your ability to tap into the creativity you had back then.
PISCES [February 19–March 20] When I sent out my e-mail newsletter last week, I got the usual number of automatic replies from people who were on vacation or out of the office. But one from Lisa P. caught my attention. "Can't reply to your e-mail right now," it read. "I will be meditating until June 1." My first reaction was jealousy. "I want to have the leisure time and willpower to meditate for 14 days nonstop!" I thought to myself. I pictured myself free of all business-as-usual, even meditating while I was asleep. My second reaction was that I should tell you Pisceans about what Lisa P. was up to. The coming days would, after all, be an excellent time for you to retreat from the usual flood of chaos and seek peaceful sanctuary in a conversation with eternity. If you can't manage a whole week, try to give yourself at least 48 hours of profound and utter slack.

This month has absolutely flown. First we were on vacation in Scotland and Ireland for two weeks. The following two weeks we had back to back weddings, then my birthday (yay!) then family time. Needless to say, I haven’t had nearly as much time in the kitchen or with my blog as I would have liked. The lazy part of me, said it’s okay, just skip a month of the Secret Recipe Club. No one will care… But I would care. The Secret Recipe Club is a wonderful opportunity to explore other blogs. Too often do I find a wonderful recipe on a friend’s blog, thinking I’m going to make that right away! Months go by and the recipe still sits on Pinterest, still to be attempted. But SRC forces me to at least once a month, try something new. This month I was assigned to Heather’s It’s Yummy to My Tummy. Like me, Heather uses the kitchen to escape. There were so many great recipes to try, but again, the time thing.

Buying Pre-owned Boats for Sale in Nebraska: Some Things to Check
Marine law does not require sellers to disclose any knowledge of damage to the boat, but if you inquire, they have to tell the truth so it’s in your best interest to ask the right questions. Ask the seller or dealer whether the boat has been flooded, sank, or if it has ever been involved in a collision or fire. Even if the boat passes your initial inspection, make sure you still hire a qualified and experienced surveyor since his findings can give you negotiating power on the boat’s price or a confirmation that you should back out. Ready to shop for a boat now? Boat dealers, such as White’s Marine Center, which serve buyers in Nebraska and nearby states have extensive inventories of used boats. Take note of the tips above when checking a boat so as to get the most out of your investment.

If you have a mac equipped with Apple’s new operating system, Leopard 10.5, then theres no doubt you’ve heard of widgets. Check the time, watch the weather, track flights, view stock prices, find a local restaurant, and now check the local pollen count of any city within the US. In a collaboration with Apple developers, Vapor Systems is proud to introduce the Pollen Count widget.
Dashboard is home to widgets: mini-applications that let you perform common tasks and provide you with fast access to information. With a single click, Dashboard appears, complete with widgets that bring you a world of information. Dashboard disappears just as easily, so you can get back to what you were doing.
The back of Vapor Systems’ Pollen Count widget offers a straightforward user interface. Simply enter the zip code of the city you wish to obtain the pollen count for, and press the “Done” button. The widget will automatically flip over and display up to the minute pollen counts for the particular city you entered. A great tool for allergy sufferers.
The Vapor Systems Pollen Count widget is still in a development state. Check back soon for new updates.

Boston starter Chris Sale won't mind getting just about as far away from Fenway Park as he can.
The Red Sox left-hander had yet another rough start at home against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday, and by the time he returns it will be an entire year since he last won a regular-season game in Boston.
"For some reason, I suck here," he said before the ballclub left for London for a two-game series against the New York Yankees. "I don't know what it is."
José Abreu hit a two-run homer over the Green Monster in the ninth inning — his third hit of the game — and Chicago recovered after blowing the lead in the eighth to beat Boston 8-7. Abreu had four RBIs, and Leury García also had three hits for Chicago.
James McCann had an RBI single and added a solo home run against Sale as Chicago pounced on the Boston starter for five runs in the first three innings. In all, Sale allowed six hits and a walk, hitting two batters and striking out 10 against his former team.
"I've got to find a way to get out of the gate better," said Sale, whose most recent regular-season win at Fenway was July 11, 2018. "The last couple of times out, early in the game, I just put us in a hole. I've got to find a way to get out of that."
Chicago had leads of 3-0, 5-2 and 6-4 before the Red Sox scored three in the eighth to take a 7-6 lead and hand White Sox closer Alex Colomé (3-1) his first blown save in 17 opportunities. But Matt Barnes (3-3) gave up three straight hits in the top of the ninth — García was caught stealing — including Abreu's 19th homer of the season.
"When they took the lead, we didn't feel down," Abreu said through an interpreter. "We kept our head up and we kept fighting until the end."
Sale, who allowed six of the first seven batters to reach safely, retired the last 10 he faced, striking out the side in the sixth. He avoided the loss when Xander Bogaerts hit a two-run single in a three-run eighth inning to make it 7-6 — Boston's only lead of the game.
Rafael Devers, who went 4-for-4 on Tuesday night, had three more hits and scored three times for Boston. J.D. Martinez hit a two-run homer and also had an RBI double for the Red Sox.
After blowing the save in the eighth, Colomé walked Jackie Bradley Jr. to lead off the ninth and then retired the next three batters to end it.
"He's not a guy that lets it bother him," Chicago manager Rick Renteria said.
RED SOX RALLY
Leading 6-4 in the eighth, Evan Marshall gave up a one-out single to Eduardo Núñez and a double to pinch-hitter Brock Holt. Colomé got Mookie Betts to hit a hard grounder and third baseman Jóse Rondón came home with it.
Núñez slid in safely head-first. Devers grounded out to the pitcher, but Bogaerts bounced a single up the middle to give Boston a 7-6 lead.
Both teams gave away runs on bad fielding plays.
Ryan Cordell beat out a slow roller to third base in the third inning. Jon Jay, who had been on second, rounded third and scored easily while Red Sox first baseman Michael Chavis was looking at the umpire, delaying the throw home.
Devers scored on a wild pitch to make it 5-3 when pitcher Reynaldo López failed to cover home.
OUCH AT HOME
Home plate umpire Roberto Ortiz needed attention from the Red Sox medical staff in the third inning after taking a foul ball off his right forearm. He had it wrapped but remained in the game.
McCann hit the next pitch into the Green Monster seats to make it 4-2.
Steven Wright made his season debut after serving an 80-game suspension for violating the policy against performance-enhancing drugs. The knuckleballer pitched the eighth, striking out one and hitting a batter.
White Sox: SS Tim Anderson was in a walking boot a day after spraining his right ankle while fielding a grounder. ... 3B Yóan Moncada was hit by a pitch on the right knee in the first inning and left the game. ... RF Charlie Tilson left the game with flu-like symptoms in the seventh inning.
Red Sox: OF Andrew Benintendi was given the second straight day off to rest, but he was available off the bench. Manager Alex Cora said his "legs felt heavy."
White Sox: Open a nine-game homestand on Friday night. Martin Pérez (7-3) pitches the opener against the Minnesota Twins.
Red Sox: Travel to London for two-game series against the Yankees, Saturday and Sunday. Rick Porcello (5-7) will face Masahiro Tanaka (5-5) in the first game.

PHILADELPHIA – “Horseplay,” a term used to denote child rape, is, says Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, part of a sinister glossary of euphemisms by which the Catholic Church’s bureaucracy obfuscates in documents the church’s “pattern of abuse” and conspiracy of silence “that goes all the way to the Vatican.” “Benevolent bishops” are those who […]

“The ESPYS are proud to support Disney’s ‘Heroes Work Here’ program and we’re honored to have a Marine Corps officer serve as this year’s host,” said ESPN’s EVP of Programming and Acquisitions, Norby Williamson. “Rob’s diverse background and comic style will bring new elements to the show and we’re looking forward to an entertaining show that will speak to the core sports fan.”
“We always strive for The ESPYS to represent the voice of the fan so we chose Rob to host this year’s show because his love and knowledge of sports combined with his sharp wit and creativity will set a tone for the show that will resonate with our viewers,” said Maura Mandt, the show’s executive producer. “Since this is our 20th ESPYS, we’re looking to create new, fresh and memorable moments and Rob is the perfect host to do that.”
“Why me? Straight up sex appeal. I know guys like Justin Timberlake and Seth Meyers are sexy… What can I say, I’m just another link in that sexy chain,” said Riggle. “I couldn’t be more honored to be the host of the ESPYS! I just hope they let me do my Karate demo!”
Riggle began his comedy career in 1997 while still on active duty in the Marine Corps. In addition to his various film appearances, Riggle is a stand-up comedian and improv actor who spent 7 years studying, teaching and performing at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater.

The ESPYS gather top celebrities from sports and entertainment to commemorate the past year in sports by recognizing major sports achievements, reliving unforgettable moments and saluting the leading performers and performances. The 2012 ESPYS marks the shows 20th telecast and will recognize both sport-specific achievements, such as “Best MLB Player” and “Best WNBA Player,” and best-in-sport winners, such as “Best Team” or “Best Female Athlete” that pit nominees from different sports against each other. The ESPYS honor ESPN’s commitment to The V Foundation for Cancer Research, a partnership launched with the late Jim Valvano at the inaugural ESPYS in 1993.
Fans will determine the winners in all ESPY categories (except the Arthur Ashe Courage Award and other special awards) by voting online or on ESPN Mobile Web at ESPN.com/espys.

This is a strong combination of three benefic planets in a house, thus it is likely to be very favorable for the native. When these three planets are conjoined in a house, the native is likely to pursue creative fields such as poetry. Such a person is usually skilled enough to excel in their area of interest. The person has sound knowledge of diverse sciences. To top it all, the conjunction of Mercury, Jupiter and Venus also gives wealth and fame to the native.
He or she gets a lot of acclaim and respect in society. Moreover, the person is blessed with a virtuous spouse and offspring. Such a person is also good looking and enjoys a sound health. They tend to be quite compassionate in nature too. However, if the conjunction falls in the 7th house, the person may struggle to accumulate wealth and encounter hurdles in domestic life. Gastric problems also strike people with this conjunction in house of partner.

Yes, we'll add something that makes it clear that SRFI-55 is one point in the design space of Scheme systems (so to speak), and as such might not work on those which chose to follow a different philosophy. cheers, felix

Looking to Foremothers for Strength
“Looking to Foremothers for Strength: A Brief Biography of the Colored Woman’s League.” Women’s Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal, vol. 47, no. 6, 2018, pp. 609-616.
Abstract: This article is a biography of a nineteenth-century Black women's organization, the Colored Woman's League (aka Colored Women's League and National League of Colored Women) that is a precursor to the well-known National Association of Colored Women. The CWL was a part of the Black women's club movement beginning in the late nineteenth-century. The article examines how the CWL demonstrated an early pattern of local and national unity among black women’s organizing efforts and how it cultivated its commitment to advancing formal and informal education among Black communities. Recovering the history of a less-examined organization, this article contributes to existing scholarship on Black women’s activist legacies and reveals how, just about thirty years after slavery was abolished in the US, women in the CWL made substantial advancements in communities across the US. We can reflect on their achievements and endeavors so that we can gain, if not inspiration, at least a sense of hope during grievous times in our contemporary period.

Michael McKillop has won the T36/37 800m at the Paralympics Anniversary Games at London's Olympic Stadium.
The Glengormley athlete came away with a time of 1:58.65 to secure gold at the stadium where he won his two Paralympic golds - in the 800m and 1,500m - last summer.
Australia's Brad Scott came home second, with Briton Paul Blake finishing third.
After his victory, McKillop said: "Today's been unbelievable, life doesn't get much better when I have the chance to run in this stadium again.
"This is where I found myself and discovered myself as an athlete, it pushed on to Lyon [in the 2013 IPC World Championships] and it's just incredible to be back here.
"Hopefully in 2017 I'll be back here for the World Championships."
The win comes just days after McKillop cemented his place as the best athlete in his class at the IPC World Championships in Lyon where he secured gold in both the 800m and 1,500m events.
Later in the afternoon, McKillop's compatriot Heather Jameson came fifth in the women's T37 100m event.
In the women's T37 100m, Ireland's Heather Jameson finished in fifth place in a time of 15.17, Germany's Maria Seifert won the race in 14.08 seconds.
In the women's F31/32/51 club, Catherine O'Neill finished third with 13.36m to get 898 points.

BOAST is a place where you can find out about recent creative campaigns.
It is a space where agencies can tell us about the new work they are proud of; blowing their own trumpet, so to speak.
Here's the latest from the creative world as we know it.
A campaign by The Romans
As the nation adjusts to life under extended lockdown, Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) a charity leading a movement against suicide and living miserably, has teamed up with Twitter to launch #CALMComedyClub, a live streamed comedy series offering big laughs from big names direct to your Twitter feed.
It kicked off on Monday at 3pm with Russell Kane (with nearly a quarter of a million watching) and the series will feature other top stand-up comedians Seann Walsh, Paul Chowdhry, Dane Baptiste and Nigel Ng who will be performing every day this week at the same time.
Streaming live on Twitter #CALMComedyClub will bring some laughs to those stuck indoors
This follows research that one in three Twitter users are worried about their mental health during these unique times.
With millions of people doing their bit by staying home, it’s more important than ever to virtually connect with friends and family, as well as doing what makes you smile. Over one third of Twitter users (37%) are currently spending more time on social media, looking for connections, news and entertainment.
89% of Twitter users said a distraction to take their mind off things is an important mental health need for them at this time. The comedy will air live on CALM’s Twitter page (@theCALMzone) at 3pm for those who may want to take a literal break from their day to day.
CALM CEO, Simon Gunning said: “In these uncertain times, CALM’s life-saving services are needed more than ever. We’ve seen a 37% increase in demand for our helpline since stricter lockdown measures were put in place so we want to give people some fun and laughter, but also remind them that we are here should they need us, no matter what.”
Russell Kane said: “We can no longer physically attend a comedy gig, and rightfully so, but we want to help raise spirits and bring some smiles to people’s kitchens or living rooms through #CALMComedyClub. CALM does so much great work through its helpline and webchat service, so it is great to be able to use the power of social media to support this.”
If you’re struggling, talk to CALM on 0800 58 58 58.
Their free and confidential helpline and webchat is available from 5pm to midnight, 7 days a week to provide practical support and advice, whatever you’re going through.
Full #CALMComedyClub line-up:
Mon 27 April, 3pm - Russell Kane
Tues 28 April, 3pm - Paul Chowdhry
Weds 29 April, 3pm - Dane Baptiste
Thurs 30 April, 3pm - Nigel NG
Fri 1 May, 3pm - Seann Walsh

Things to look out for ahead of Wanderers' opening 2016/17 pre-season outing
The Bolton Wanderers first team squad play their first pre-season game of the 2016/17 campaign against Danish side FC Helsingor on Saturday. Here are five key points to look out for.
1. Upping the workload
Phil Parkinson’s first game in charge of Bolton Wanderers takes place this Saturday away at Danish second tier side FC Helsingor. After careful consideration, a previously arranged game against HB Koge, originally scheduled for the Wednesday, was shelved when the new regime deemed it too early for friendly action. Now, after two weeks of pre-season training and off-field preparation, Parkinson and his backroom staff feel the team are ready for game time, in what will be the first opportunity for them to observe the majority of the players in match action.
2. Style and setup
Those fans making the journey to Denmark will no doubt be interested to see how the new manager sets his team up. Various training sessions since the players’ return have revolved around team shape and playing style, with Saturday’s opener an opportunity for an early insight into what supporters can expect from their team this season.
3. A test from Helsingor
After a solid mid-table finish in their first season in the Danish second tier, FC Helsingor should present a good test for Wanderers. With the Danish season set to kick off in two weeks’ time, Helsingor are a side further down the line in their pre-season preparations. Comfortable winners of the second division in 2014/15 losing just three games all season, the Trotters should expect a competitive outing this weekend.
4. An opportunity to impress
The manager has already confirmed that all those who have made the trip to Sweden, aside from those with slight injuries, will get game time on Saturday. We’re likely to see a first senior appearance in a Bolton Wanderers shirt for Will Jaaskelainen, son of legendary stopper Jussi, whilst other names such as Alex Finney, Kaiyne Woolery, Tom Walker, Conor Wilkinson and the fit-again Max Clayton are all expected to feature at some point.
5. Temporary kit
Wanderers will turn out in a temporary shirt for the game at Helsingor Stadion, with the finer details of the club’s new 2016/17 home and away Macron strips in the process of being finalised.

Cameras caught Kerr roaming the sideline when he uttered, "F--- you, m-----f-----."
At a shootaround Saturday morning in preparation for Saturday night's game against the Denver Nuggets, Kerr was remorseful.
"I need to do better. Honestly, I need to do better," he said. "That was embarrassing. My daughter sent me the meme of it. It was all over the internet. I just hung my head in shame. I am very passionate and intense, but I can't use that kind of wording. I would never say that to anybody in a normal setting. It's just awful. When I saw that, I was like, 'Oh, my God. What's the matter with me?'"
He later said: "I'm always going to get on refs to stick up for my guys, and that's the point, but I can't use that kind of language."
Kerr wasn't the only coach who had choice words for the officials. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich was ejected late in the contest. He was seen saying, "Terrible f---ing referee."
"Well, that's where I learned it. I blamed Pop afterward," Kerr said sarcastically. "You're the one who taught me that stuff, Pop. I think he may have said something similar when he got tossed. But, yeah, sometimes the temper and the competitive desire gets the best of us."
League sources said it is unlikely that Kerr or Popovich will receive a fine. Coaches are typically penalized if they do not leave the court in a timely fashion following an ejection.
Nowadays, it's virtually impossible for anything to occur during action without it being caught on camera.
"There's a camera on him at all times, but that's kind of the give and take of what we do," Stephen Curry said. "Most of our slip-ups happen and everybody gets to see it. Me throwing a mouthpiece, him cussing, little tussles on the court, all that kind of stuff. It's a part of basketball. You just have to deal with it and understand that nobody's perfect, but he's showing some fire."
Kerr said former Warrior Tom Tolbert, who is now a Bay Area radio host, jokingly suggested that he use a laminated play card to shield his mouth like NFL coaches do.
The energy and passion Kerr demonstrates is part of what makes him an effective coach. He said he is not going to tone that aspect down but intends to exercise more self-control when communicating with the officials.
"I think there's a certain amount of yelling you have to do as coach when you don't like what's going on," Kerr said. "Maybe you're trying to motivate your guys, maybe you're trying to get on the ref to change the momentum a little, and that's all part of it. But what I said the other night was inexcusable, and I can't use that kind of language."

I was going to wait until Sunday to feature this in my Basket of Goodies wrap-up post, but then my mom kept insisting I post pictures all over the internet! So here it goes…
You know how yesterday I mentioned a certain gorgeous necklace from one Lydia Kang? Well, today when the UPS guy stopped by, the delivered more than just a little envelope with a necklace. They delivered two large boxes from the Class of 2K13! (And another mystery package, whose contents will be revealed at a later date.)
I enlisted the help of one of my many sisters to help carry them in, and all she cared about was the Halloween duct tape randomly placed on the boxes. But I didn’t care about some old duct tape, and tore right through it to reach the contents of the package:
Of course this stuff just had to show up on sheet-washing day!
I began un-piling stuff onto the kitchen table, and the donuts and Doritos soon began to attract attention. Five of my six siblings quickly arrived on the scene (while the youngest stayed on my mom’s lap). None of them believed that a bunch of YA authors were crazy enough to send all this junk to me, and to tell you the truth, I can hardly believe it.
Then I carried it upstairs to my room, attempting to organize it. But those five children wanted to see it and make sure I didn’t eat the Twinkies before they had a chance to. I kept shoo-ing them out, but all they cared about was who got to use the mini-flashlight in their fort, and what to name the stuffed lamb.
Finally I got it all hidden away in my closet, but within the hour, all the caramels, donuts, and golden nuggets were gone. Along with the elephant and lamb. Turns out they were all hanging out in that fort being lit by the mini-flashlight.
But you probably don’t care about all that. You want to see everything, and find out exactly why a bunch of random authors sent me cool junk!

How underrepresented the Ravens are this year! I'm from Oakland, but not stupid enough to be a Raiders fan, so you know I'm impartial this post season.
Remember all the jokes going around last year about Ray Lewis being the only one who could kill Chuck Norris?
Offense wins game, defense wins championships.

Saints have shown dominance when required, resiliancy when required, teamwork all the time, never-die attitude all the time, talent, and depth in most positions. No other team has all these components. In todays NFL, not one or two superstars will bring a team to the Superbowl. It requires lots of depth and lots of weapons on both sides of the ball. I will say, if there is a weak part of the game for the Saints, its Special Teams. Yet there has been real inmprovement over the last three weeks. Superbowl prediction: SAINTS 42, INDY35.

Khar gym trainer arrested on molestation charge
The Khar police registered a case of molestation against an employee of a popular gymnasium in Khar (West).mumbai Updated: Dec 07, 2010 00:29 IST
The Khar police registered a case of molestation against an employee of a popular gymnasium in Khar (West).
Nitesh More, 28, who works as a trainer with Leena Mogre’s gymnasium, was arrested on Monday evening, police said.
The 31-year-old victim works as a project manager in a real estate firm and resides in Bandra with her husband. According to her complaint, the incident took place on November 4 inside the gym.
The victim said: “While working out, I felt Nitesh was trying to get overtly physical with me. He was also touching me inappropriately. I reported the matter to Leena and Nikhil Mogre, but no action was taken.”
The victim said the gym authorities kept delaying any conclusion in the matter.
“They said they couldn't ask him to leave as he was a personal trainer of several high profile clients,” she said.
Soon after, the complainant and her husband left for South Africa to attend a family wedding. She returned on November 29 following which she again approached the gym authorities, but this time too, she claims, no action was taken. Finally she approached the Khar police on Monday and lodged a complaint.
“I have been a member of the gym for the past three years, but such a thing has never happened before,” she said.
Mangesh Pote, senior inspector, Khar police station, said that acting on the information given by the victim, they have registered a case of outraging the modesty of a woman.
Leena Mogre, owner of the gym, refuted all allegations. “The allegations are false and the matter is under investigation,” she said.
According to the victim, instead of taking any action against the suspect, the gym management had said they would change her trainer and also penalise him by cutting his one-month salary.

By EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS
JACKSON -- The leader of the Mississippi Hospital Association says his group won't fight renewal of a tax his members pay to help fund Medicaid.
The association protested in 2009 when then-Gov. Haley Barbour pushed for the hospital tax.
Now, the association's president and CEO, Sam Cameron, says the tax gives hospitals something very important -- predictability in their expenses.
"It's no question that it has cost us some financial negative impact for some of the hospitals," Cameron said Tuesday. "But very honestly, without it, the funding of the Medicaid program would not be there."
Medicaid is a government health insurance program for the needy. For every dollar Mississippi puts into it, the federal government pays almost three.
Some of the state's portion of Medicaid funding comes from the hospital tax. Cameron said the tax is based on a formula so complicated that hospitals rely on consultants to crunch numbers and make sure everyone is paying what they're supposed to pay.
The tax is set to expire June 30 unless lawmakers renew it this session.
Officials say the hospital tax generates about $200 million a year, and that money is multiplied with the federal match.
Gov. Phil Bryant, who took office Jan. 10, said he supports renewing the hospital tax because the state can't afford to replace the Medicaid money that would be lost if the tax disappears.
"I think they understand with the cost of Medicaid and where we're at in revenue and budgets, there just aren't too many other places we can go for that particular revenue for Medicaid," Bryant said Tuesday, responding to reporters' questions before he spoke at a Mississippi Hospital Association luncheon in downtown Jackson.
Bryant did not mention the hospital tax during his speech.
Barbour and Bryant are both Republicans, and both campaigned on keeping taxes low. However, Barbour pushed the hospital tax as something that would ultimately help the hospitals by keeping federal money flowing into the state for Medicaid. Because Mississippi is one of the poorest states in the nation, it has one of the most generous federal payment rates for Medicaid.
Mississippi hospitals had paid one form of tax to help fund Medicaid for about a dozen years until the federal government blocked it in 2005.
From 2005 to 2009, Barbour tried to persuade lawmakers to pass a revised version of the tax. He won the political battle in June 2009, as lawmakers met in special session to pass a comprehensive state budget for the fiscal year that was only hours from beginning.
Cameron said Tuesday that tax enacted in 2009 included guarantees that the state could not arbitrarily cut Medicaid services or limit the number of inpatient hospital days it would pay for Medicaid patients. He said that gave hospitals "a measure of comfort" about their finances.

Your two minutes of mellow|
I don't think I've ever dealt with a cat who was that tolerant, but I have wild fantasies of starting with the sides of the neck and gradually acclimating the cat to having his paws and belly handled like that.

Government by trolls|
About a combined effort from GCHQ:
Among the core self-identified purposes of JTRIG are two tactics: (1) to inject all sorts of false material onto the internet in order to destroy the reputation of its targets; and (2) to use social sciences and other techniques to manipulate online discourse and activism to generate outcomes it considers desirable. To see how extremist these programs are, just consider the tactics they boast of using to achieve those ends: “false flag operations” (posting material to the internet and falsely attributing it to someone else), fake victim blog posts (pretending to be a victim of the individual whose reputation they want to destroy), and posting “negative information” on various forums. Here is one illustrative list of tactics from the latest GCHQ document we’re publishing today:
The wikipedia just mentions attacks against the Taliban and Iran, but
Critically, the “targets” for this deceit and reputation-destruction extend far beyond the customary roster of normal spycraft: hostile nations and their leaders, military agencies, and intelligence services. In fact, the discussion of many of these techniques occurs in the context of using them in lieu of “traditional law enforcement” against people suspected (but not charged or convicted) of ordinary crimes or, more broadly still, “hacktivism”, meaning those who use online protest activity for political ends.
The title page of one of these documents reflects the agency’s own awareness that it is “pushing the boundaries” by using “cyber offensive” techniques against people who have nothing to do with terrorism or national security threats, and indeed, centrally involves law enforcement agents who investigate ordinary crimes:

Very large fossilized dinosaur bones found|
In Patagonia, really big bones, possibly those of a the biggest dinosaur known....
They think it looked more or less like this:
The length and weight are estimates--
Based on its huge thigh bones, it was 40m (130ft) long and 20m (65ft) tall.
Weighing in at 77 tonnes, it was as heavy as 14 African elephants, and seven tonnes heavier than the previous record holder, Argentinosaurus.)
but definitely good enough for a giant dinosaur movie.

Why I was asking about "don't lesnerize"|
I had the perfect occasion to tell someone to not lesnerize, but then I wondered what the odds were that I'd be understood, I couldn't find the story online, and I wasn't in the mood to summarize it.
Since then, of course, I've found a copy of "Protection" by Sheckley, and I'm pleased to see it's still a classic.

The screens are fixed!|
It turned out that professionals were useful.
All hail Home Hero, who told me that they didn't do that sort of work, but Oregon Window Co does. (Oregon Ave. is a street a couple of miles from here.)
Semi-all hail Oregon Window Co, who fixed two screens properly, but neglected to replace a pin in the third screen. Fortunately, the third screen isn't urgently needed.

How to opt out of Google endorsements|
Google, who I'd say is not ideally clear on what not being evil means, is going to use your name and face on ads to your friends for things you've given a plus 1 to on Google Play or Google Maps unless you opt out.

Non-fiction for world-building|
What do Europeans call the platypus?
Handy hints about ways to use language differences for world-building.
Blind Descent-- searching for the deepest caves on earth. Caves are weirder than you might think. You can get electrocuted if lightning strikes a stream on the surface.
The Expressiveness of the Body and the Divergence of Greek and Chinese Medicine-- more about cultural difference, not to mention historical change. I'd thought of Daoism as a thing, but of course, it has a history.
Any recommendations for non-fiction that's promising for world-building?

How do I revert my LJ?|
Fortunately, the new version didn't affect my friends page, but I don't like what they've done to my new entry page or my recent comments page-- there's too much white space and the font is too light-weight.
I've heard rumors of a way to revert, but I can't find it.
Window screen problem|
I urgently need screens that fit in the window frames of my workroom-- a combination of inertia and that getting something to work turned out to be harder than expected is colliding with the weather heating up.
The screens are the kind with two little spring loaded metal prongs which fit into holes in the sides of the frames.
Even when a screen was made, it turned out to fall out of the frame-- the prongs weren't quite reaching far enough. I've got some bluetack to possibly fill in some gaps, but I'm worried that it isn't strong enough. It also turned out that the springs for the prongs were weak-- does anyone know if the prongs can be replaced without completely disassembling the screen?
Weirdly, the screen for the adjacent slightly wider window doesn't stay in, either-- the prongs aren't reaching far enough into the holes. I don't see any geometrically possibly way the house could settle which would lead to two adjacent windows both widening at the bottom, and both of the glass windows move up and down easily.
Any ideas? Recommendations for professionals?

This year's Wigtown Book Festival is underway, and organisers are hoping it will be the biggest yet.
The festival was founded in 1999. Since then it's brought thousands of authors, and millions of pounds, to the local area.
Around twenty thousand people are expected at this year's festival.
They'll hear from more than 250 writers, including Judy Murray.
The numbers are bigger than ever before, and that means a bigger boost for local businesses.
Shaun Bythell runs one of Wigtown's many bookshops:
The Artistic Director of Wigtown Book Festival said:
The festival runs until Sunday 1 October.

A few years back I was one week away from having a scheduled kidney transplant. Leading up to the surgery, there were times when I would tremble with fear. I worried about the pain in recovery. I worried about the medication I would be on for life after the transplant. I worried about my body rejecting the kidney. But, what caused me to break out into an all out panic attack was thinking about how would I ever manage all of my responsibilities during recovery.
In Galatians, Paul talks about carrying our own load but also sharing in one another’s burdens.
Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For each one shall bear his own load.
I don’t know about you, but it’s the whole part about allowing someone else to help bear my burden, carry my load, and share in my pain, that causes fear to set in.
But, as I lean into Jesus and experience more and more of His grace and compassion I see that He is to be trusted. Ultimately it is He who carries my burden. It is He who sees just how big my burden is even when I try to minimize it. It is Jesus who holds the burden and the solution in His all-powerful hands.
My burden…my failiing kidneys, my children’s unique needs, my husband’s health, the lies the enemy feeds me…it all compounds into a boulder too large for my shoulders.
When I find myself thinking I am something, I think I can and should bear it all. I should be able to pick up all the wounded pieces, place them neatly in my pack, and hoist them onto my back. It’s a lie from the pit of hell that I am alone and that I should be able to hold my heavy load myself.
Oh, Satan loves that lie. If he can get me to fall for it, he’s got me. He’s got me in an impossible situation trying in vain to hold up my pack, setting myself up for failure and a heavier burden.
But, Jesus….Jesus who knows pain. Jesus who knows betrayal. Jesus who knows loneliness. Jesus who knows love. Jesus who knows me. He knows the boulder I am facing. He knows what I am capable of carrying. He knows my needs.
the Boulder Taker
the Boulder Lifter
the Boulder Mover.
What a peace it brings to my burdened soul, coming back to the reality that I am nothing. I am unable to bear this boulder. The Lord has not even asked me to bear it alone.
Thank you, Jesus. Those words seem insufficient. I have been known to utter the words, “Thank you, Jesus” about finding a good parking spot on a rainy day. But, to say “Thank you, Jesus, for carrying a boulder I am too weak and ill-equipped to carry myself” seems trite. So, I will spend my life uttering the words, “Thank you, Jesus. You are so good to me.”

The Red Terror was carried out in post-revolutionary Russia by the Cheka headed by Felix Dzerzhinsky along with units of the Red Army. The Red Terror started as a result of an attempt to kill Vladimir Lenin by Fanni Kaplin in August 1918 and the murder of the Cheka leader in St. Petersburg. This failed assassination attempt on Lenin was used as a rationale for the secret police and the army to round up and deal with anyone suspected of counter-revolutionary activities. From his hospital bed Lenin instructed the Cheka to “prepare for terror”.
There was no obvious government body that could hold back the work of the Cheka. Dzerzhinsky could simply explain the organisation’s work: for example the arrest and execution of 800 people in St. Petersburg in 1918 was explained away as those executed were ‘enemies of the state’ or ‘enemies of the revolution’. Few were brave enough to argue with such an accusation in case they themselves were accused of the same crime. None of the 800 was put on trial. They were arrested and then shot. Dzerzhinsky himself said that the Cheka operated on a 24 hour basis: those who were held were usually dealt with within 24 hours. The Red Terror last from September 1918 to October 1918 though some believe that it actually lasted until the end of the Russian Civil War. The work of the Cheka during the Red Terror received the support of Lenin who argued on its behalf that the people they were dealing with were trying to re-establish into power those who had abused and exploited others in pre-revolutionary Russia. Above all else Lenin wanted to keep what had been won during the months of 1917. Therefore the Cheka was given effectively a free rein in Russia. Someone’s occupation or the size/value of their house could be enough to seal their fate.
The work done during the Red Terror also received support from a leading Bolshevik – Gregory Zinoviev. He said that the enemies of the Bolshevik government should be “annihilated”. Lenin himself wrote to Dzerzhinsky that the opponents of the Bolshevik government should be made “to tremble”.
Given that the future USSR was in chaos in 1918 and that the work was done by the secret police, it is hard to find accurate figures of those who suffered during the Red Terror. If it was done to make people “tremble” then there is a chance that the figures were exaggerated simply to scare potential opponents into acquiescence. It is thought that between 10,000 to 15,000 people were summarily executed by the Cheka between September and October 1918 in areas under the formal control of the Bolsheviks – such figures were published in official journals and openly publicised. As there were no public trials, such figures cannot be verified. However, it is thought that the figures for summary executions in areas previously under the control of the Whites were far higher than 15,000. Lenin himself gave the order for the execution of 50,000 in the Crimea alone and some include these figures as part of the “Red Terror” as opposed to being the end result of the Russian Civil War.
The Red Terror resulted in the execution of thousands of men classified as “bandits”. However, the term never had a legal definition and it seems very likely that it became a one-word fits all to explain the arrest and then execution of suspects. Those who harboured the thousands of deserters from the Red Army were arrested and punished as they were branded “bandits”. This meant that many families suffered as the result of just one member of it defying the law.

CHARLOTTE - Panthers football is back. Back on the practice fields. Back at Wofford. Back at Fan Fest. It feels good to be back.
After a season like no other with few to no fans, a modified training camp in Charlotte and no preseason games, things feel just a bit more normal this July.
However, there are still some things that fans need to know before making the trek to steamy Spartanburg as training camp kicks off on Wednesday morning.
- Training camp is free and open to the public with first-come, first-serve general seating on the hill alongside Field 2. Standing room is no longer available along the back end zone or the Field 1 entrance, so make sure to come early and get your spots on the hill.
- Fans do not have to wear face coverings or show proof of vaccination, but they do have to register once and acknowledge the NFL's terms and conditions for event attendance.
- There are no autographs this year. Due to NFL-NFLPA protocols, social distancing between fans and players is required, and in-person autographs will not be available. However, fans will be able to enter a free giveaway for autographed items during each practice. Sign up to win every morning via the Panthers app. Must be present at practice to redeem.
- The traditional practice in Gibbs Stadium has been moved to Saturday, July 31, as part of the NFL-wide Back Together Saturday. The event will include on-field performances by the TopCats, Sir Purr, PurrCussion and Black & Blue Crew, the Mayor's Ball Delivery and activities including face painting, food trucks, interactive games and sponsor activations.
- The Panthers App is your hub for all things Training Camp. Click here to enter the Training Camp Experience.
Even if you won't be able to make it to Spartanburg this year, you can still follow along with exclusive coverage from the Panthers. Every day, post-practice interviews with players and coaches will be live streamed on Panthers Twitter and YouTube as well as Panthers.com and the Panthers app.
During practice, Panthers.com will have live updates from the field as the Panthers digital team gives you views from the sidelines.
Every morning, fans can receive a curated newsletter from senior writer Darin Gantt, who has stories from Wofford camps dating back to 1995. Click here to sign up.
Speaking of Gantt, here's his guide for how to watch this year's camp like a professional:
— Get there early, but be patient: Stretching is serious business. This spring, they practiced how they'll stretch in camp. It's a whole thing. And it takes time. It's obviously for a good reason, but it's a pretty substantial chunk of the day at the beginning of practice, devoted to what looks like a combination of yoga and phys-ed calisthenics.
— Watch the big guys: It's easy to get caught watching the ball. That's what the television will show you. But the real action is in the trenches. One-on-ones between the linemen are some of the best action of camp (the Julius Peppers-Jordan Gross battles were legendary), if you know what to look for. It's going to look like the defense wins almost every snap, but the drills are structured in a way in which the defense has every advantage. Still, with the Panthers trying to settle on offensive line combinations, seeing how those guys hold up against Brian Burns and Haason Reddick and Derrick Brown will be fascinating.
— Turning up the pressure: The quarterbacks are still off-limits to contact, but the speed will definitely turn up a notch during camp. Keep an eye on how Sam Darnold handles the pressure, and how quickly he gets the ball out.
— Pick up the pace: Speaking of quick, the Panthers have a number of guys on the roster with track-star speed. Rookie running back Chuba Hubbard was a top youth sprinter in Canada. But there are a number of guys with the ability to fly. Cornerback Donte Jackson might be the fastest guy here, but there's some competition. Under-the-radar wide receiver Micah Simon ran a 4.34 40-yard dash at BYU's pro day, so if you see him lined up with Jackson, keep your eyes open.
Carolina returns to training camp at Wofford in 2021 after practicing in Charlotte in 2020. View photos of several current Panthers veterans from the 2019 training camp in Spartanburg, S.C.

We have what is considered a good economy. This is based on a mountain of National Debt over $23 Trillion with each tax payer owing $187,173. President Trump in his first 4 years will have added over $5 Trillion. Currently this year he has added over $1.3 Trillion.
Scary thing is this is the first ‘Good Economy’ where the National Debt & Deficits increased at a record pace. If there are any Conservatives left please stand up for lowering the National Debt. This debt is eating up more & more of the Federal Budget every year and more money gets borrowed to pay the interest payments.
What happens when the economy goes into Recession as it always does as part of the normal economic cycle? Democrats & Republicans both are ignoring this issue.
Everyone should be scared of these numbers. Episode #27 of Wimmer’s Wilderness Podcast goes into this with great detail.

Lady Gaga put in some overtime this weekend, serving as both host and musical guest on "Saturday Night Live."
Though Gaga has been combining music and shock value for years, she's now competing with Miley Cyrus for the most attention-grabbing performance, and she and R. Kelly gave it quite the go.

Quabbin Valley: Life As It Was (2015) is the third volume in the Images of America series from Arcadia Publishing by Elizabeth Peirce. Ms. Peirce will present a slide program of archival photographs featured in the book. When the 1927 Swift River Act allocated funds to construct the Quabbin Reservoir, it signaled the demise of the towns of Enfield, Dana, Greenwich, and Prescott which lay in the Swift River Valley. A total of 2500 people lost their homes, towns, and life as it was.Elizabeth Peirce, curator of the Swift River Valley Historical Society, is the author of three books about life in the Swift River Valley before the Quabbin Reservoir. Quabbin Valley: Life as it Was, The Lost Towns of the Quabbin Valley, and Quabbin Valley: People and Places all draw on photographs from the Swift River Valley Historical Society in New Salem, Massachusetts. Since the 1960s, she has been a leader in the preservation of the memories and artifacts of the former residents of the four “lost towns.”
The author will sign books before and after the presentation.
Join us with your lunch in hand. We will provide coffee, tea or cider for you as you listen to the presentations. The 30-minute program will begin promptly at 12:15 with seating and beverages ready just before noon. The lectures are free and everyone is welcome to attend.

Letís do the Time Warp - AGAIN!
time warp: noun: 1. what you step into when you step off the ferry on Texada Island; 2. a delicious wet-hopped pale ale
We hand-picked 38 kilos of local hops and added them to the brew immediately to produce this delicious pale ale. Itís not an IPA, but it still packs a big hop punch so prepare for your nose hairs to curl up and let out a happy sigh.
Fresh-hopped beers are designed for immediate enjoyment so do not cellar this one!
Look for it in select private liquor stores on the Sunshine Coast, Vancouver and Vancouver Island and, of course, at the brewery store starting October 1.
But hurry - quantities are limited!

Online Apple iPad 2 Shipments Delayed, Japan Launch Nixed
Customers who order an iPad 2 via Apple's online store will need to wait between four to five weeks for their tablet to arrive.
While Apple has not yet released official sales figures for the iPad 2's first weekend of release, a selected number of analysts feel the company will sell between 500,000 and 600,000 of the next-generation tablets. In a March 8 research note, Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster predicted that the tablet will sell 1 million units faster than its first-generation predecessor, which took 28 days to reach that mark. Part of the reason for the quicker sales, he argued, is the iPad's availability at a broader collection of retail stores.
On March 14, the iPad 2's first day of wide release, eWEEK toured three Apple stores in Manhattan and found similarly long lines at each. Across the country, Apple's retail partners--including Best Buy, Walmart, Target, AT&T and Verizon--reported shortages and outright sellouts of the tablet.
Heading midway into its first week of release, Apple repeatedly pushed back the expected shipping date for online iPad 2 sales, from two to three weeks to nearly twice as long. Whether by intention or genuine inability to deal with a flood of orders, other Apple products have endured similar delays and pushbacks in launches past. Apple's iPhone 4, for example, led to a meltdown of both Apple's and AT&T's ordering systems on the first day of presales, followed by the pushback of the preorder shipment date.
The iPhone 4 sold some 1.7 million units in the smartphone's first day of release. "My phone is ringing off the hook for people who want more supply," Apple COO Tim Cook told analysts and investors listening to the company's July 2010 earnings call. "We're selling everything we can make." That suggested to some pundits that demand had strained Apple's manufacturing capacity.

San Antonio – At least two men have been found dead in what appears to be a murder-suicide at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, on Friday morning. Identities have not been confirmed, but several media outlets have reported that was an airman who shot his commanding officer.
The event occurred at a classroom facility known as Forbes Hall, on the Lackland portion of Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland at about 8am. Authorities received a 911 call and later found the two dead bodies and two Glock pistols in the scene, as reported by Air Force Times.
During the next hours, the building was placed on lockdown while officers continued to search for others potential shooters or victims. At 10am officials declared the place safe and lifted the lockdown, according to Lt. Col. Bobby Ford.
It was determined that the incident was not a terrorist-related. Authorities refused to publish the name of the victims over respect for their family members, who according to the officers have the right to know first.
“We are in the process of beginning to conduct our crime-scene investigation with our crime scene investigators, as well as looking for other leads and information as to determining how this incident began,” said Lt. Col. Jeremy Waller, a commander in Air Force OSI.
As the investigators refused to reveal the victims’ identities, they refused as well to reveal any potential motive of the event. However, an officer who spoke with the Washington Post on the condition of anonymity commented that the incident appears to be a dispute between the recently deceased.
The investigation is being held by the Air Force Office of Special Investigations with the support of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to determine what exactly happened in the facility.
Military-issued and personal firearms are heavily controlled by the force and remains unknown whether the men had the authorization to be carrying any of the two weapons found in the scene.

Well this bear can easily defeat John Cena in a tap out or pin fall match. This bear will use his bear hug finisher to finish Cena off, goodnight Cena as you sleep tight hahaha douche.
Revolutionary War Hero -Done. Sent in an e-mail to Dave Ankers. I hope the cost isn’t prohibitive. I also got trouhgh to Dobbs this afternoon, and had a list of BC talking points lined up; however, I had to get my son and nephew from basketball camp and couldn’t stay on the line (it was pretty long). So, I’m going to try to get trouhgh starting just before 2:00 tomorrow. If you hear John from Providence’, that’s me.
I think you hit a bullseye there fellas!
The Rock can even finish Cena off with a bear hug and that’s not even his finisher!!!
The Rock will take Cena to a garage or a brawling area where The Rock will take out John Cena clean fair and square!!!!!!!
Even Kevin Federline can whoop John Cena clean and that’s a strong fact!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
did anybody watch hnainty last nite, or is it tonight? he is supposed to talk about BO birth problemsand yes the Bond market was so so, over half the offerings went overseas. The FEDS are entertaining the Chinese this week in DC, trying to get them to buy more of OBAMA’s BSThe Chinese know we are going the route of ARgentina, which was the 5th largest industrial nation in the 1920s before going socialist and doing what we are doing right now. And it destroyed their nation for over 80 years. Unless we stop this madness in DC soon, we are going the same route to destruction at the hands of far left liberal illegal thugs in control now.
Trish Stratus can even beat John Cena clean!!!!
Lita can own Cena too and she knows Cena can’t wrestle!!!!
Velvet Sky finishes Cena in one blow!!!!!!!
Cypress Hill would kill Cena in a battle rap!!!!
SirWilliam | October 11, 2010 at 1:10 pm |Pete,I happen to agree with you, they know and the fix was in. ***********************************In escesne I agree with the assessment of both of you, and it continues to thoroughly disgust and dismay. Right after Obama took office and we could see the direction he was taking us, I wrote passionately to Rep. John Boehner and Sen. McCain re. contingency plans in case Obama took us over the edge to the point of no return such as taking complete control over the legislative and judicial branches. Nary a response was heard from either one. Now I understand why. This disease has affected ALL of the incumbents. And although some of the candidates have pledged to pursue the eligibility question, I am not going to hold my breath. Let’s wait and see what they really do. Give them some time, however, to get into swing. Back to work for me now. Bye-bye.
Vanilla Ice may be a one hit wonder but can kill Cena in a rap and fighting game!!!!!!
John Cena is the history of all paper champs!
John Cena is the worst wrestler of all history!
John Cena is the non talented wrestler of all time!
John Cena proves that he has nothing going in wrestling what so ever and it’s not his place to bash The Rock neither. Cena has no room to talk trash about the man who made what wrestling was in the past and now today’s wrestling is nothing but clutter courtesy of Mr. “Super Cena”(sarcasm).
I personally beleive that Karl Rove,along with many in Congress,and perhaps even the SCOTUS knew exactly what was going on in the interim up to the election and even afterwards. Many of these people were, and still are in positions from which they could have acted to keep the US from being subjected to what is happening now. Depending upon where the Command,and control centers are it could be extremely difficult if not even impossible to reverse at this late date. I think that we are going to experience a Chavez type of government first hand. Of course SO WILL THE SLIMEY LITTLE DO GOODERS WHO PUT HIM IN OFFICE. I can hear them ALL whining now! YES WE CAN ! remember?
If only The Rock and every past wrestler could save wrestling by defeating Cena and other boring employee’s then retire them even though Cena is most need of it.

The walls are closing in on Rep. John Conyers’ wife. Maybe he should spend less time chasing his Bush impeachment pipe dream and pay attention to home.
Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, his father, Bernard Kilpatrick, and City Council President Monica Conyers are the major figures cited in a sludge-hauling executive’s account of greed and bribery in the Synagro scandal, sources confirmed Tuesday to the Free Press. The three have not been charged with wrongdoing in the case.
Their names — and others — emerged with additional details about the government’s investigation into city corruption.
The Free Press has learned that James Rosendall, the former Synagro Technologies vice president who pleaded guilty to bribery Monday, has been questioned about his contacts with other executives at Houston-based Synagro.
FBI agents recorded one Synagro official on a phone call with Rosendall discussing Rosendall’s efforts to win the $1.2-billion contract in Detroit, one source said, adding that executive has since been suspended by Synagro.
Rosendall, 44, of Grand Rapids is the government’s star witness in the Synagro probe and has provided the FBI with little, if any, direct evidence that cash was funneled to Kwame Kilpatrick, according to sources familiar with the case.
And more on the feds upping pressure on Detroit corruptocrats:
Documents filed in the Rosendall case show former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and his father, business consultant Bernard N. Kilpatrick, are among those under investigation in connection with a contract that pays Synagro about $47 million a year to haul and treat the city’s sewage sludge.
Detroit City Council President Monica Conyers also is under investigation in connection with the sludge contract, people familiar with the investigation said.
Appearances before a federal grand jury in Detroit that has been investigating City Hall corruption are scheduled well into February, people familiar with the investigation said.
The long-running and wide-ranging investigation involves the Synagro deal and contracts at Cobo Center and other city departments.
It’s likely indictments are still weeks away, Henning said.
The Detroit City Council approved the contract by a 5-4 vote in the fall of 2007.

Close to a decade ago, I landed a cushy job on Cumberland Parkway (my first real job after graduation). My hours were so great that I could go on 2-hour lunches. I worked with Eastern European software developers who used to go to this meat shop religiously. So I tagged along one day and discovered meat heaven. It was a mere 20-minute drive from work so going there on my lunch hour became a regular habit. It also meant I didn’t have to wait for that first Saturday each month to get my meat fix. I’ve been a regular customer ever since, still visiting at least once or twice a month.
Patak Meat makes a wide variety of European meats on the premises. The store is literally meat heaven. They have fresh and processed sausages, fresh cuts of beef, pork and chicken, smoked meat and sausages, dry-cured products, cheeses, and Eastern European grocery and food items such as biscuits, cookies, candies, chocolates, sauces, and the like.
Patak’s products are almost all natural. Almost, because there’s this one, single ingredient that they use that prevents them from being classified as such. This is the reason why you will never find their products at Whole Foods. People flock to Patak’s daily. My last visit was a week ago on a Thursday. As usual, they had a line out the door. But the line moves fast.
My regular purchases have always included bacon, Boston butt, garlic beef bacon, and Czech salami. These are my staples and I get them at least once a month. This visit, I added a few things to my essentials: turkey, black forest ham, fresh sausages, a pound of Polish sausage, and smoked pork chops.
The meats keep really well (refrigerated in air tight containers) and I’ve found that they will last up to two weeks (the salami lasts far longer). I really, really love their bacon. It is mild tasting and comes in wide strips. My family has a unique way of serving bacon (my dad always made it this way for us) — the strips are fried lightly in a skillet (without oil) just long enough until the edges curl and brown lightly. The strips are then drained on paper towels then sprinkled with sugar. I thought bacon was always eaten this way until I was maybe 5 or 6 years old when I was astounded to find bacon served crispy in restaurants. I refuse to eat crispy bacon to this day.
The Boston butt makes for fantastic sandwiches. The taste is just amazing and I highly recommend getting this cut. Although, the turkey and black forest ham are quite as good. The fresh sausages are best grilled, and served with grilled onions and green peppers.
My mom, a devotee of Murphy’s, is a huge fan of their smoked pork chops which are only available on their spring/summer menu (they are replaced by the pork shank in the fall/winter). Murphy’s gets these pork chops from Patak’s. The 18 pieces I got for her totaled a little over $72 so they were roughly $4 apiece. Give it a good re-heating on a charcoal grill and you have a fantastic main dish.
You must try this place. Once you have, you’ll never buy grocery deli products ever again. The high quality (and taste) of their meats is just unbelievable and prices are so inexpensive (cured, and smoked deli meats average $2.50 a pound). Also a must-try are their fresh ribeye steaks, baby back ribs (fresh and smoked), fresh bratwurst, salami (they have tons of different kinds), fresh porkchops, and the assorted sauces. Don’t go when you’re hungry or you’ll end up buying the entire place.

About Organ Procurement Organizations
LifeSource supports families through the organ, eye and tissue donation process and delivers life-saving transplants to the recipients who need them. Learn more about our life-saving work.
LifeSource is one of 58 Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs) serving the nation and represent a unique aspect of the health care system. These community-based, non-profit organizations are designated by the federal government to recover organs from deceased donors for transplantation. Indeed, they are the only organizations charged with such a responsibility. Since the creation of the OPO structure in the mid-1980s, the US has developed one of the most successful systems of donor identification, authorization, recovery and coordination in the world.
The work of OPOs also includes support services for donor families, the clinical management of deceased donors, in-service and professional education of hospital staff, public education and donor registration, tissue and cornea donation and the recovery of non-transplantable organs and tissues for medical research.
OPOs are critical to the organ transplant system that tens of thousands of patients depend on each year to provide the life-saving transplant they so desperately need. For this reason, it is important to recognize the ongoing high-level performance of our donation system and to continue advocating for system changes to support continuous improvement.
A High Functioning System
Between 2013 and 2019, Organ Procurement Organizations increased organ donation by 44% in the United States, a clear indication that the system is continually improving.
During this same time, organ transplants increased substantially and the number of deaths on the national transplant list trended downward. OPOs commit to maximizing every possible donation opportunity by obtaining authorization for donation, managing the donor, facilitating the organ recovery, and transporting organs to transplant centers.
Moreover, recent data in the Journal of the American Medical Association indicates the performance of the US organ procurement system is among the very best in the world in which 43 of the top 50 performing international jurisdictions – and 9 of the top 10 performers – being U.S. states. Comparing US and Europe data from the Global Observatory on Donation and Transplantation and UNOS demonstrates again the strong performance of the US OPO and transplant system.
Taken together, the data demonstrates great strengths within the current structure of regionally-based Organ Procurement Organizations with close cooperative ties to their area transplant centers and donor hospitals.
Donation Continues During a Public Health Crisis
The effectiveness of the Organ Procurement Organization system is highlighted most recently during the COVID-19 crisis when OPOs – like many other parts of the health care system – faced a multitude of complicating factors that made their work significantly more challenging. Despite more restrictive access to hospital ICUs, fewer in person meetings with donor families and many other hurdles, the OPO community maintained its world leadership. In fact, where as some nations’ deceased donation cases were cut by upwards of 90%, the United States OPO system experienced a short-term reduction in organ donors of approximately 38% and rebounded quickly to pre-COVID levels.
During a different kind of health crisis, that of the ongoing opioid overdose epidemic, OPOs quickly identified the public health implications and worked to create clear clinical pathways for these potential donors and to make the transplant system more open to the use of organs from these donors. As a result, over the last five years, over 6,500 families of overdose victims were able to find solace in donation and nearly 21,400 transplant recipients received the gift of life. While an increase in donors from overdose was partially responsible for the recent year-over-year increase in donation, it is important to note that even absent an increase in overdose death donation, non-overdose death donation rates also increased.
This foundation of experience and expertise has forged a community of organ procurement professionals within OPOs with the dedication and skill to address the needs of those who await transplant.
Innovation will Reduce the Waiting List
With so many patients still awaiting transplant, it is incumbent upon the key stakeholders within the donation and transplant community to work together to align our processes of continual improvement and adopt those measures that will result in more donation opportunities, additional life-saving transplants and better transplant outcomes. Among the most important are:
Adopt More Accurate and Useful OPO Performance Metrics: Organ Procurement Organization leadership and other donation and transplant advocates are calling upon the US Department of Health and Human Services to develop more meaningful, independently reported metrics to accurately reflect the performance of OPOs and appropriately adjust for such critical factors as age, cause of death and which account for extenuating circumstances (such as the COVID-19 pandemic). Improved metrics must also be timely and granular enough to inform and promote continuous improvement and increased donation. The new metrics should be free from known data integrity issue such as those that plague datasets dependent on death certificates and other questionable sources. The OPO community supports the independent electronic reporting of patient-level data as the gold standard for donation metrics.
Promote the Use of Organs from Older and More Complex Donors: Each year, thousands of organs are authorized and recovered by OPOs that are not considered suitable for transplant by current US surgical practice. However, many of these type organs are considered suitable for transplant by other nations’ health care systems. Better aligned regulatory incentives across the OPO and transplant system would result in higher utilization of organs from Donation after Circulatory Death donors, donors of advanced age and donors with more complex co-morbidities.
Expanded Use of Ex Vivo Perfusion and Preservation: Medical advancement in the perfusion, transport and preservation of donor organs have made it possible to expand the pool of donors from which a successful organ recovery and transplant can be made. Working together, transplant centers, OPOs and regulators can continue adoption of these devices and dramatically improve the function of certain donated organs, leading to more and better transplant outcomes.

Discussion in 'AV Receivers' started by Alex_C, Nov 30, 2004.
What does it mean? Which sounds better? Are the pluses and minuses for each?
You have to see a tube for a description to "register". As far as audio performance. It comes down to this: tubes are for the well heeled golden ear. Transistors have 99 % of the market and digital transistor amps are going to replace analog transistor amps over the next 10 years. A solid state amp can be made to sound exactly like a tube amp. Bob Carver proved this 20 years ago and makes an amp, Sunfire, that has connections for either the solid state sound or the tube sound.
Tubes (vacuum tubes/valves) have been obsolete since the 1960s.
This is one of the most laughably ridiculous sweeping statements I've read on the HTF, and I've been here a long damn time! Unless you're looking at $50K+ systems, don't even worry about tubes. If you are looking at systems in that level you'd probably be better served by "auddiophile" forums other than HTF which is a movie theater sound group that enjoys music, too. And IMO if you're spending that kind of doh rei mi on a music system you need to seriously re-evaluate your priorities, but that's just me. Tubes are indispensable for musical instrument amplification and professional recording preamp applications. They also impart very nice sonic qualities when used in pro level compressors. I just bought a new Sovtek 6L6 a couple weeks ago.
"I just bought a new Sovtek 6L6 a couple weeks ago" Talk about a laughable statement. Why didn't you buy a new GTE/Sylvania/RCA/Ratheon 6L6 tube? Very simply because just about no one makes tubes anymore, they are obsolete!!! A Sovtek tube is nothing to brag about.
Alex, Philip is right - this is probably not the best forum to ask this question. This is a site geared towards Home Theaters (think DVDs). Subwoofers, multi-channel amps/receivers, comparing 7.1 to 5.1 setups - these are common topics discussed here. There will be few members who own tube amps/preamps/sources here, and not many more who are seriously considering it. You would do well to look at more "audio-centric" sites to get more balanced answers. Personally, my 2-channel listening system is integrated with a surround-sound Home Theater. My 2-channel preamp and the 2 monoblocks they drive are "tubed". However, my multi-channel amp (that drives the surround speakers) is Solid State. There's no switching around of wires or anything. There are certainly pros and cons inherent to each of the designs. But it's the implementation of the technology that matters. Just like there are different types of speakers (dynamic, ribbon, electrostatic, horn, etc), by themselves, it is meaningless. It is how they are implemeted into the final product that determines the "quality of sound". Bottom line: there are great tube amps (and preamps). there are great Solid State amps and preamps. And there are certainly poor implentations as well. Let me know if I can help you more, Kevin
Thanks, Kevin. I need to find one and listen. The journey begins. ..
Alex_C, If you are serious about playing with tubes, and can work a soldering iron, consider building a preamp kit such as a Bottlehead preamp. It affords you the opportunity to learn a little bit about how it works as you go, and you'll invariably interact with some real valve-heads when you post on their forum because the damn thing doesn't work after you plug it in. Seriously though; it's a great way to get an introduction to the old tech... just don't electrocute yourself in the process. Martin.
Really? The amp tech who rebuilt my 1967 blackface Fender Bassman recommended Sovtek tubes over all the (sometimes much more expsneive) competition. When I accidentally busted one I replaced it with another. Sovteks are well respected by many in the music industry. NOS USA made tubes are still available, but can be quite expensive. The amp sounds incredible BTW through my moden Eden D210 speaker cabinet. Suggesting that tubes are obsolete for guitar amplification technology is not going to gain you any credibility points.
Phil is right on the use of tubes in guitar amps. They rule. Vintage tube guitar amps are highly coveted. The harmonic distortion is perfect for electric strings. Tubes also have their place in high end audio. And that place is in boutiques and the homes of the filthy rich. Too bad I am not one of them. Artie
Tubes are certainly not obsolete, and they are capable of some very nice sound. That does not mean it is 100% better than solid state, but it is a consideration for someone serious (re:picky) about their sound, tweakers, and those who do have some disposable cash. For a simple 2ch rig, you can get >relatively< inexpensive tube amps. I say relatively, because $1K for a 40w tube amp is still a lot to me, but is by no means in the realm of the stinking rich. Used stuff can be very reasonable too, just like SS gear. Along the lines of what Philip said, listening to a variety of gear will give you the best idea of what you like, regardless of whether its tube or SS or hybrid.
The following is a direct reply by Sound and Vision that can be found on page 28 of the July/August edition: "Okay, Internet, get this: tubes are a waste of money! They're hot, they're expensive, and one prominent manufacturer of tube equipment told me some years ago that the tubes themselves have something like an 80% failure rate. AND THEY DON'T OFFER BETTER SOUND. They have higher inherent distortion, are often obviously noisier, and offer much lower peak power ratings than solid-state equiment. They certainly don't last as long. So why put up with the bother? Sound & Vision Doesn't look like Sound and Vision puts much credence to the superiority of tubes.
My microwave has a tube
[rant]Not that I would necessarily disagree with them on this issue, but their credibility took a serious nosedive since their recent Bose review, sans "In the Lab" measurement section that accompanies every other review of theirs I've read. To be cowed by Bose like that is intellectually dishonest and makes the rest of the magazine suspect. While Stereophile might routinely publish subjectivist nonsense, they at least routinely do measurements of amplifiers and speakers (which measurements often diverge from the article, but that's another matter). Sound and Vision's chief attraction, to me, is their lab measurements. If the reviewer liked the Bose system (he's even nominating it for a product of the year), that's fine. I still expect them to be fair and measure Bose gear like they do everything else.[/rant] Sorry, had to get that off my chest.
So because S&V proclaimed this, it must be fact. Guess all those people out there enjoying tube setups are mistaken. They certainly don't last as long? The tubes may not, but some tube gear that is over 20 years old still seems to be kicking around, and still highly sought after, AFAIK. My TV has a tube
John, having lived through the 50's and 60's with tube technology, I can tell you first hand that tubes are nothing but trouble. When televisions used tubes they were broken more than they worked. The TV repairman was a very common site at EVERYONE's house. The TV's had two major controls that you don't even know about these days. Those controls being a vertical hold and a horizontal hold. Half the time when you turned a tv on you had to adjust these controls because the picture always seems to be rolling. As soon as the tubes got a little weak the picture was rolling. Half the time a brand new tube right out of the box only tested 50% good. I hope you have a tube tester if you are using tubes, even new is no guarantee that they are any good. Incidentally, there was a time when EVERY drugstore had its' own tube tester and sold tubes. Tubes are highly prone to failure. If you like tubes, so be it. Personally I don't want any tube gear not even for free.
The vast majority of TVs, contrary to impressions on the web, are still tube driven CRTs. I don't think the state of tubes is that bad. Is tube audio gear better, or even worth the extra maintenance? Open to debate, I'd wager. Some people like to tinker and enjoy the tube "sound". I say let them have fun.
We use tubes when we mix audio. RCA Sutido uses tube amps to power the monitors and so does Oceanway studio's. And most of our equipment is tube or vaulve. And trust me a tube amp for guitar rocks the socks off a solid state.
"Tubes" vs. "solid state"? A thermionic valve is, typically [RCA NuVistors are a notable exception, as are the Russian matrix ICs], a glass envelope resembling a light bulb within which a hot piece of metal gives off electrons. Various electrodes are used to turn this electron emission into a current or currents and manipulate it by the application of voltages, which may be signals. Owing to the curious phenomena of space charge and vacuum current, it is possible to design a single tube to perform a very complex operation or set of operations. On the other hand, they are bulky, have delicate parts, are sensitive to manufactiring tolerances and handling, require a great deal of labour to produce, may generate high levels of random noise, use a great deal of energy, get very hot, and are very liable to failures in service. Owing to physical limitations of solid-state components, vacuum-state valves are an indispensable part of high-power and high-frequency operations. Most video display units on the market use an extremely specialised tube to output a complex pattern of light. Semiconductor valves perform functions analogous to thermionic types, by manipulating electron flow through certain materials rather than empty space. Although fabrication is very sensitive, with a well-managed process they can be fabricated in extremely large numbers, at an extremely small size, with a minimal cost per unit. For this reason the emphasis is upon ganging together large numbers of a small variety of types to perform operations, rather than developing new types for discrete functions. They make possible much of the complex information technology of today, and are frequently used for handling analog signals especially in consumer equipment. Most video display units on the market use solid-state devices to drive their kinescope tubes. In general, the variation in performance between solid-state units is much less than that between vacuum-state units, either within the same model or across models. Also, since vacuum-state equipment is often produced on a limited basis for a market which has a tendency to adopt ideas based not on objective merit but on idees fixes without much rational foundation, it is possible to pay an immense sum of money for a vacuum-state component which will render poorer performance than the cheapest available solid-state unit. But the point of home entertainment equipment is happiness. If that dull red glow makes you happy, go for it. If you like black boxes better, likewise. As much as I hate to say it, with all the people going around claiming that such and such measurably inferior item is somehow "better" or "more natural" or "more open", objectivism can be taken too far.
That's the key to it right there. It's the "I don't care about objective accuracy, I care about what I like" attitude. One thing I would like to point out is that a guitar tube amp is meant to be a sound producer, not a sound REproducer, so it doesn't have to be accurate to anything.

This was bound to happen sooner or later in India. Our government has always been lax when it comes to cyber crime and cyber law irrespective of which party was ruling. They always believed that Army is the only requirement to defend the boundaries of this great country.
When IT boom came to India, under pressure from other developed country IT security act was introduced in 2000 and was again amended in 2008 but nothing concrete in it. All the crimes were bail-able in that. Like present laws, this was also made and never enforced. One of the finest excuse was all the social networking sites are based out of USA on which Indian law has got no control. Oh come on, take a cue from China, if you really want it, being a government you can have it anytime. No one in power ever thought that the incident which happened two days back with people of north-east can even happen. And now when the situation goes out of control, the action taken are usual expected one
- Block SMS for few days
- Blame Pakistan for everything
Can they explain that just by blocking the SMS what can be achieved now, damage has already been done and if Pakistan was the originator of this rumor, who helped in propagating this within India. no one from Pakistan came here to forward these SMSs. Now even Pakistan denies its involvement in this incident and asks for a proof, we too are waiting for that proof.
Now one senior politician says, all Indians have got right to work and live anywhere in India. Oh yes, we know this is our right as per our constitution, can you just ensure that this is being followed across country keeping aside your political interests and vote politics. Please do not wait for something big to happen and then declare this from some podium, work on a daily basis to ensure this.
I am assuring you, if your party can do this, you don’t need to ask for votes in any election.
My dear politicians, if you all can grow up from fights of caste, religion and vote, we would appreciate your efforts in controlling law and order situation in country, controlling the shooting prices of commodities, providing the tax payers a quality life.
Can we have freedom to live in our own country please??

A group of North Korean defectors and civic activists on Monday urged South Korea's parliament to pass a bill aimed at improving the human rights situation in the reclusive communist state.
In an opening ceremony for "North Korea Freedom Week," some 100 Seoul-based defectors, human rights advocates and lawmakers gathered in the National Assembly to discuss ways to abolish gulags in the North and pass a pending bill designed to help improve the North's dismal human rights record.
North Korea has long been accused of human rights abuses, ranging from holding hundreds of thousands of political prisoners to torture and public executions. Pyongyang denies the accusations, calling them a U.S.-led attempt to topple its regime.
"Representing 24 million North Korean people who are suffering from human rights abuse under the Kim Jong-il regime, we appeal South Korean lawmakers to pass the North Korean human rights bill," the coalition of 27 defector groups said in a statement.
South Korea has received more than 20,000 North Korean defectors since the end of the 1950-1953 Korean War. The U.S. has given about 100 North Koreans asylum since the North Korean Human Rights Act of 2004.
The annual event, which had usually been held in Washington, D.C. since 2004 to promote human rights and freedom in the North, has come to Seoul this year for the second straight time to provide the growing number of Seoul-based defectors and activist groups with a chance to get involved.
The North Korea Freedom Coalition, a U.S. civic rights group led by Seoul Peace Prize laureate Suzanne Scholte, hosts the event.
"I feel heavyhearted and sorry for not being able to pass the North Korean human rights law at the National Assembly ... although South Korea is obliged to take care of North Korean people," said Kim Moo-sung, the floor leader of the ruling Grand National Party. "I am considering whether to invoke my authority to present the law."
Unification Minister Hyun In-taek also urged the parliament to pass the bill promptly.
"We are well aware that the enactment of the North Korea human rights law does not hamper development of inter-Korean relations," Hyun said. "I think such a claim is very emotional and irresponsible."
The North Korea human rights bill has been stuck in limbo for years in the South Korean parliament, blocked by opposition lawmakers out of concern that the proposed bill could further sour inter-Korean relations, which plunged to their lowest ebb in decades following the North's deadly attacks on the South last year.
South Korea was to follow suit after the United States passed legislation in 2004 to help North Korean defectors settle in the U.S. and promote democracy in the reclusive communist country, while Japan passed a similar law in 2006.
Song Yoon-bok, the leader of a Japan-based non-profit group "No Fence," said Pyongyang has dug several underground tunnels to kill political prisoners in the event that the South or the U.S. topples the totalitarian regime.
"North Korea is preparing mass killings, considering that testimonies about prison camps would work against them," Song said.
According to the Unification Ministry, the Pyongyang regime is holding more than 150,000 people in political prison camps and executing many residents, including political prisoners and defectors' families, without due legal process. (Yonhap News)

via Reason: Taxpayers Aren't Stationary Targets.
Leaving recessions out of the account, for the past 60 years federal tax revenues have been rather steady at just under 19 percent GDP regardless of the tax rates. The top income-tax rate has ranged from a low of 28 percent in 1988-90 to a high of 92 percent in 1952-53, yet the flow of money has been a fairly constant proportion of the economy. This would seem to confirm the apparently controversial hypothesis that taxpayers are purposive human beings who can be counted to modify their behavior according to the incentives and disincentives that government places in their paths.
Yet most politicians don't get it. In The Wall Street Journal a few years ago, W. Kurt Hauser, formerly of the Hoover Institution, wrote:
Even amoebas learn by trial and error, but some economists and politicians do not. The Obama administration's budget projections claim that raising taxes on the top 2% of taxpayers, those individuals earning more than $200,000 and couples earning $250,000 or more, will increase revenues to the U.S. Treasury. The empirical evidence suggests otherwise. None of the personal income tax or capital gains tax increases enacted in the post-World War II period has raised the projected tax revenues.
"Hauser's Law" seems quite robust. Over 60 years, "there have been more than 30 major changes in the tax code including personal income tax rates, corporate tax rates, capital gains taxes, dividend taxes, investment tax credits, depreciation schedules, Social Security taxes, and the number of tax brackets among others. Yet during this period, federal government tax collections as a share of GDP have moved within a narrow band of just under 19% of GDP."
The explanation is simple enough for a child to understand, though politicians have difficulty with it:
When tax rates are raised, taxpayers are encouraged to shift, hide and underreport income. Taxpayers divert their effort from pro-growth productive investments to seeking tax shelters, tax havens and tax exempt investments. This behavior tends to dampen economic growth and job creation. Lower taxes increase the incentives to work, produce, save and invest, thereby encouraging capital formation and jobs. Taxpayers have less incentive to shelter and shift income.

The long fought battle. iOS vs. Android. But why has the battle been fought for so long? Why are people always so strictly and firmly either team Apple or team Android, what is it about the two that makes them worthy of backing?
It is because the two are so completely different. If the two softwares were similar, people wouldn’t be so fussed on which phone to use since they act in similar ways. But this is not the case when it comes to iOS and Android: to change from one team to the other, you have to entirely change the person you are. I am proud to say that I am, and will always be (I think. We’ll see.) on Team Apple, and I say that with some authority because I have owned Androids in the past. For me, I enjoy having a simple phone that I can tailor to myself a tiny bit – I do not need to be able to modify every aspect of my phone like other people do. And for me to become team Android, I would have to gain an intense interest in spending hours modifying the phone exactly how I want it, and then a few more hours so the perfectionist in me is satisfied. The below infographic, created with Jayden Cross, delves deeper into this burning battle and highlights aspects of the systems that make a person either Team iOS or Team Android.

We've been hearing rumors about an LG Nexus for a while now. At first, we were skeptical. However, as the evidence piles up, we're becoming increasingly convinced that this rumor is indeed legit.
Now, a set of photos have surfaced over at the XDA forums that appear to seal the deal.
The first thing you'll probably want to check out in the above shots is the About screen.Read More

Days of our Lives/Dimera mansion
Hi. I was wondering if there was a time when Days showed more rooms in the Dimera mansion. Especially in the late 80's & during the 90's.....it's a shame we only get to see one all purpose room.
Hi Nancy. Most of the drama has usually taken place in the living room/foyer that is shown today. Downstairs, for the big Kristen/Susan storyline in 1997, there was a "secret room" built next to the wine cellar (where Kristen & Marlena were held prisoner), so that set was seen quite often that year. Through the years, the bedrooms have been shown, just as they are from time to time today (EJ/Sami has one now, as do Kristen/Brady). There's an outdoor garden next to the living room that was seen for some weddings. That's about it though. There's never been a dining room or kitchen or anything like that shown on the first floor. The one extra room they showed last year was Stefano's Study, the room where "the fake" Stefano that Ian hired was shot and killed (when everyone thought it was actually Stefano who had died).
The DiMeras first moved into this mansion in 1993. It was originally owned by Shane & Kimberly Donovan. When they lived there in the early 1990s, you would quite often see the Shane's Study/Communications Room set, where Shane would get his secret ISA missions in. But they haven't shown that set since the DiMeras moved in.
Hope that helps! Jason
