Manually sorting your load order, a basic guide for TTW
There's some basic rules of thumb you can use to sort your load order by hand, without the need of tools like BOSS or LOOT, and it's actually fairly easy to do.
- First, please review this section of our FAQ.
Some minor preparation is in order.
- First navigate to your Data folder in your Fallout New Vegas install location.
- Select all files which have the extension .nam and delete them.
Q) But wait, aren't these files official files that come with the game?
A) Yes. However the reason you want to delete them is they do nothing except force the game to load any plugin which has the same name. That includes the pre order packs. So if you leave the .nam files the game will load the pre order packs if you want them or not.
Let us continue.
- First, your load order should ALWAYS begin with the official Bethesda master files for Fallout NV
- Followed by the files from Fallout 3.
- Next should ALWAYS be the TaleOfTwoWastelands master file.
- If you choose to use TTWFixes (Which includes uUOF3P and YUP+additional fixes) then that master should ALWAYS be directly after TaleOfTwoWastelands master file.
- FalloutNV.esm
- DeadMoney.esm
- HonestHearts.esm
- OldWorldBlues.esm
- LonesomeRoad.esm
- GunRunnersArsenal.esm
- CaravanPack.esm
- ClassicPack.esm
- MercenaryPack.esm
- TribalPack.esm
- Fallout3.esm
- Anchorage.esm
- ThePitt.esm
- BrokenSteel.esm
- PointLookout.esm
- Zeta.esm
- TaleOfTwoWastelands.esm
- TTWFixes.esm
The pre order packs, and TTWFixes are optional and can be omitted if you do not care to use them.
Next up in your load order should be any utility masters that other mods may require, this includes things like;
- Sortomatic.esm
- SomeguySeries.esm
- Caliber.esm
- FNVToolkit.esm
- TTWInteriors_Core.esm
Next in your load order you want to have any masters which make MAJOR changes to either wasteland. Ones that make major changes to VANILLA areas should be first. This includes things like FreesideOpen and StripOpen.
You want these first as other mods may alter things in those vanilla areas, and you want them to be applied after any major changes have taken place.
Any compatibility patches will come later in your load order to resolve any conflicts and they tend to assume that the plugin load order follows this.
- FreesideOpen.esm
- StripOpen.esm
Next in your load order you may want any type of Monster mod. Other mods tend to use these as masters, they include:
- MoMod.esm
- Mart's Mutant Mod.esm
Next in your load order you may want any type of Weapon mod. Other mods tend to use these as masters, for example:
- Weapons.of.the.New.Millenia.esm
- CFWTTW.esm
Next in your load order you are going to want any types of major quest mods, or content expansion mods that are master files. These include:
- AWorldOfPain(Preview).esm
- AWorldOfPainFO3.esm
- Point Lookout Reborn by Jcro25.esm
- TTWInteriorsProject_Combo.esm
- Regulators.esm
- The New Bison Steve.esm
- Afterschool Special.esm
Next in your load order you will any type of mod which is altering NPC appearance. The reason for placing them after quest mods is so that any appearance changes may be applied to those mods, examples include:
- FCO.esm
- TTWRedesigned.esm
- ProjectBeauty.esm
The next block is a good place to put any other content altering mods:
- Streelights.esm
- InteriorLightingOverhaul.esm
- MoreChems.esm
Additional masters may be placed after these, or anywhere previous, but AFTER the official and TTW masters as necessary.
- oHud.esm
- MorePerks.esm
- Project Nevada - Core.esm
- Project Nevada - Cyberware.esp
- Project Nevada - Extra Options.esm
- Project Nevada - Equipment.esm
- Project Nevada - Rebalance.esp
That does it for the master files section which is the most important.
Next up is the esp section, which can be a bit more complicated, but if you follow some general rules it shouldn't be too hard. At this point it is personal preference, so things can be altered to suit your needs.
In the next block, generally is any further tweaks to game play or hotfixes.
- DTPerkFixes.esp
- cateyefix.esp
- ttw_myfirstlabfix.esp
- TTW_AnchorageCustomization.esp
- TTW_Bobbleheads.esp
- TTW_MoreCookingItems.esp
- TTW Perks and Home Markers.esp
- TTW_NoKarmaDCFollowers.esp
- TTW_OutcastTrading.esp
- TTW_Reputation.esp
- TTW_SpeechChecks.esp
- TTW_StartupMenu.esp
- TTW_StashPackOptions.esp
- TTW_SuperMutantRebalance.esp
- TTW_Traps.esp
- TTW_XPReduction.esp
In the following block, is a good place to put any further content enhancement mods:
- Busworld.esp
- Russell.esp
- NewVegasBounties.esp
- NewVegasBountiesII.esp
- TheInheritance.esp
- MTCWastelandsTravellers.esp
- Vending Machines of The Wastes.esp
The block after this is a good place to put UI mods as the final couple blocks may depend on them as masters;
- DarNifiedUINV.esp
- The Mod Configuration Menu.esp
- The Weapon Mod Menu.esp
- DYNAVISION 3.esp
- CASM with MCM.esp
- FlashlightNVSE.esp
- FOVSlider.esp
- GrenadeHotkey.esp
- JIP Companions Command & Control.esp
- Quick Trade.esp
- Sprint Mod.esp
The following block is the place to put all equipment and item mods. Doing so will make them easier to manage and for any potential issues to be diagnosed easier;
- ADAM - MAIN.esp
- ADAM - NCR Patrol Armour.esp
- PowerArmorDX.esp
- AG Supplimentary Uniques-AllInOne.esp
- Name Of Some Weapon Pack Mod.esp
- Name Of Some Weapon Mod.esp
- IMPACT.esp
- EVE FNV - ALL DLC.esp
- WeaponModsExpanded.esp
The next block is the place to put all your patches and your bash/merge patch;
- TTW MMM + EVE + TTW Redesigned.esp
- WMX - EVE.esp
- YourBashPatch.esp
- YourMergePatch.esp
Finally, you want to put your chosen weather mod here so it overrides the weather data of all your other mods, including your merge patches in the off chance they have any alterations to those records.
- TTW Realistic Wasteland Lighting - Darker Nights.esp
This concludes the basic guide on sorting your load order manually.
There are always exceptions and this should only be used as a general guideline. It is always advised to use your mod organizer to view the masters of the plugins you use, generally they should have the proper order the plugins should be in. This is not always the case, but most of the time it is. You can check your load order by loading it up in FNVEdit, if there is anything out of place it will error on the file which has missing masters.

For the fifth time since 2001, a Little League team from the San Diego area heads to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
On Saturday night, Sweetwater Valley Little League defeated Waipio Little League from Hawaii, 12-10, in a game that was in doubt until a dramatic rundown in the bottom of the sixth inning ended the game, as the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
Walker Lannom, who crushed his seventh home run of the tournament, told the Union-Tribune, "It's an amazing feeling. We just won the Western championship. We're going to Williampsort, which we've been dreaming of forever."
The game was a seesaw affair; Sweetwater pushed across five runs in the top of the first, only to see Hawaii respond with four runs in the bottom of the inning. After Sweetwater scored a run in the top of the second, Hawaii threatened to return the favor in the bottom of the second, only to see Jacob Baptista, playing first base, turn a line drive into a 3-6 double play. Sweetwater extended its lead to 9-4 with one run in the third, two in the fourth, and three in the fifth, helped by Baptista's two-run home run, making the score 12-4 going into the bottom of the sixth.
But Hawaii surged back with six runs, only to fall short as a four-throw rundown between third base and home plate ended their comeback.
Since 1967, when a team from Japan won the Little League World Series, only 14 of the title winners have come from the United States. The only other winners from California besides Park View in that span were the 1992 and 1993 teams from Long Beach.

Stephanie Seymour rocks a bikini on a French beach
Supermodel Stephanie Seymour hit the beach again with her family -- but this time, it wasn't so controversial.
Stephanie Seymour still has it at 42, and she's not afraid to show it off. The mother and former supermodel donned a bikini for a family outing with her two younger children, Harry and Lilly, on a beach in Saint Barthelemy, France.
The happy family outing was nowhere near as scandalous as her last appearance on a beach. Seymour and her 17-year-old son, Peter Brant II, were caught in a loving embrace during a family beach vacation. Some people thought the embrace signaled an inappropriate mother-son relationship, prompting Peter to release a statement.
"I would just like to say that these pictures have been taken completely out of context. My mother and I are very close, as she is with all her children," the openly gay Peter said at the time. "She often hugs and kisses me and my siblings in a manner that is intimate. Any mother in the world does the same."
Seymour was understandably horrified that people mistook her loving relationship for something inappropriate.
"I've gone through a lot in the past two years, and I gained a lot of weight, and it really upset me. So I spent two days indoors. When I finally decided to just go outside, my son was so happy to see me," Seymour told Oprah during an appearance on her show in February.
"He was wooing me and gave me a big hug and a kiss, and we had no idea that that one second would be turned into something that could ever be thought of as inappropriate," she continued. "He's my baby. He's a gorgeous young man, but he's my baby."
Seymour also told Oprah that she was heartbroken her son felt he needed to clarify the photos on his own.
"I was upset he did this without my knowledge, because obviously, he felt that strongly. I could have helped him. I believe in ignoring all that nonsense. He took it upon himself, and I think he felt like he had to defend his mommy," she said.

Rose Mcgowan has reached out to Shannen Doherty in a bid to end the two stars' rumored feud once and for all.
Rose famously replaced Shannen on hit TV show Charmed back in 2001 and the media has pitted the two actresses against each other ever since.
But McGowan now insists the feud was all made up and she has sent the former Beverly Hills, 90210 star a heartfelt note amid her battle with breast cancer.
Posting a fan's cartoon drawing of the two stars on Instagram, Rose writes: "Dear @theshando Someone made this of us & I wanted to share it with you as it made me reflect.
"We have a funny history. As young women we were pitted against each other for society's pleasure. The rules of Hollywood engagement brainwashed into us were truly vile. The men & brainwashed women in our business made it so we couldn't be friends, I regret that.
"We were cast in this weird fake reality show where we were supposed to be enemies. I resented it greatly. I regret not being awake enough to articulate this to you at the time. Fear was drilled into me from day one in this town & you were the barometer by which my behavior was judged. I was under a microscope, one false move and I'd be branded 'difficult' just like you... I willfully remained enigmatic & unengaged. The Bad Girl Shaming you received at the hands of the media was merciless."
Rose goes on to state she believed the hype about Shannen being a "bad girl", adding, "I had to prove I wasn't as bad as you or I'd get the axe, too", but she refused to give the press "the cat fight they so wanted".
She concludes she now knows she and Shannen were "the good ones", insisting Hollywood tried to "crush us, but they couldn't".
The actress closes her note with a powerful: "I send you strength."

One of the treatment principles underlying Japanese Acupuncture is to use the least amount of point stimulation to effect the greatest amount of change. Practitioners who practice this style of acupuncture use thinner and fewer needles, fewer acupuncture points, and shallower needle insertion. Sometimes treatment involves simply touching the surface of the skin with the needles, versus inserting them into the skin. This type of acupuncture is excellent for small children, older adults, or anyone that is concerned about being treated with needles since this form of acupuncture is extremely gentle and non-invasive. Many principles used in Five Element Acupuncture are taken from Japanese style treatment.
A practitioner who practices Japanese Acupuncture uses abdominal palpation and other diagnostic tools to determine the underlying imbalance.

Buried in another topic, I recently had to have my blood drawn three times for a DNA (telomere length) test. The term used as the reason for the failure(s) was hydrolysis. The third barely got through, and based on johnwen's suggestions, I had my primary care doc draw blood, and they found the elevated Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, which has been verified now by two other blood draws.
But what has also become constant is "platelet clumping" - the last 3 CBC tests, not counting the 3 DNA tests, reported clumping. (My primary care doc didn't think it was a big deal - but I will copy what his nurse wrote to me at the bottom). He did send me to the "endocrine" for the elevated TSH. (Which is why I had more blood drawn.)
Also buried in that topic was a regimen suggested by exitium and others - that I have adopted and been following. I don't know how long to expect before it works, but while I feel very good, my platelets still clump !?
The other day, I was speaking to a doctor friend, and ask her why my platelets are clumping, and she immediately said, "You must have a lot of fibrin..." She immediately started to talk about "enzymes" and the went on! The pancreas is responsible for a lot more than just making insulin (and my blood sugar is getting harder to control). What if the production of pancreatic enzymes has also dropped off since my pancreas was sliced in two pieces? I wanted to put this out there, as I have started to take the Gonsalez pancreatic enzymes in pretty good amounts (they ain't cheap) and we'll see what happens regarding future blood draws...
My endocrine has put my own my first "real" prescription levothyroxine. (Everything else I take is orthomolecular - hydrocortisone is bioidentical cortisol, insulin, etc.) For the high TSH and low T4. She also ordered a pituitary MRI - which came back normal.
This is from my primary care's nurse re: the platelet clumping:
Hi Owen,
When we draw a cbc (which has a platelet count in it) we use a tube that has an anticoagulant in it called EDTA. This prevents the blood from clotting. However, some people's blood for some reason reacts with the EDTA and the platelets clot. In the lab they call this "EDTA platelet clumping." If the doctor wants an accurate platelet count, the lab can draw your blood in a tube with a different anticoagulant in it (Na citrate) and send it to the lab. When we run a cbc, the doctor's are usually not interested in the platelet count - it is just included in the results. They are usually looking at your white blood cells to check for infection or your red blood cells and hemoglobin to see if you are anemic. I will ask Dr. W. if he wants you to come back to test your platelets.
So - the good news is, the platelet clumping is not due to any medical condition and it is of no significance as far as your health is concerned.
Please contact us with any questions.

Is the ranking in different browsers the same?
I wonder if the ranking of my website is the same in different browsers? Are there different criteriums to show the search results for different browsers?
Different rankings might happen
Different data center of Google may also be the reason
different variables like your geographical location, account settings may affect the ranking of your site on the SERP. SERP is meant to be same everywhere you search. But they may differ slightly on the following basis-
- Your login status(whether you are logged in or not)
- Functionalities browsers provide
- How the browser manages the cookies
Matt Cutts stated these reasons for getting different results in different browsers. Google has many data centers. Even the browsers may call data from different places which may cause the difference in SERP. Among these data centers, there could be some which have not even been considered for ranking. You can even get the depersonalized search result using ?pws=0 at the end of the Google search link. Or you may try the incognito mode to get it.

E-waste being carefully dismantled
Some of the times, it gets stored in peoples garages or houses for a while. Unfortunately, this only delays the electronics being thrown out, and prevents the electronic from being reused. Another way would be to burn it. Unfortunately, this only serves to have the dangerous chemicals inside the electronics to leak out and infect the environment even faster. Also, even if the e-waste is thrown on landfills, the chemicals in them such as arsenic and mercury will still leak out into the groundwater, rivers, and soil, as well as poisoning the air. Those chemicals leaking into the water, soil, and air can cause birth defects, brain damage, as well more potentially lethal damage to us humans. If that happens, it will probably harm all the nations with large amounts of e-waste pilling up.
For the computers, unless you destroy the hard drive, criminals can easily go through the hard drive and get your personal information. If you do your banking online, they can get your bank information, and use it to take out all the money from your account.
Even in the plants where e-waste is safely recycled, the masks aren't fool proof. The recycling workers have higher chances of getting birth defects, cancer, and other harmful diseases.
On the left is a picture is what most people think happen to their old electronics during recycling. That it gets dismantled in a safe and hi-tech facility. While this does happen, it unfortunately just gets dumped in some random country.
What happens to electronics after they become obsolete?
A girl in Guiyu smashing a CRT
You see this girl, she is only a child yet her entire life has been surrounded by trash. In the photo, she is smashing a CRT tube, which contains 5 pounds of lead, and other highly toxic materials. Imagine yourself in her place. Forced to choose poison, over poverty, just to survive. Day in, day out, every day, smashing other peoples electronic trash just to make a living. There are thousands of people just like her, some younger. All of them have too much lead in their blood. All of them are destroying our e-waste, just to take the precious metals inside. This is what happened to every electronic you have ever thrown out, or "recycled".
Guiyu, China
The graph on the left shows how much e-waste is made and recycled each year. From 2000 – 2011, only 18.32% of the total amount of e-waste was recycled, and the rest was thrown out. Even then, of the e-waste that was recycled, most of it was shipped overseas to developing countries such as Ghana. After getting there as "donations", kids in Ghana burn, or break the computers and take the gold or other metals inside. Unfortunately, all the poisonous chemicals inside the e-waste get released into the air as smoke, then into the lungs of the kids, because they don't have any protection. The kids who do this have higher chances of developing cancer and other problems.
A cathode ray tube.
On its own, obsolete e-waste may not seem like much, but it is. There are hundreds of dangerous chemicals in electronics such as brominated flame-retardants; which is used to stop the circuit board and plastic from burning, doesn't break down easily and piles up in the environment, lead; which is used in monitors, and is highly toxic to the environment. (Cathode Ray Tubes in in the older computer monitors sold worldwide in 2002 had about 10000 tons of lead in them)Lead could wipe out whole populations of microorganisms, and slow down decomposition. There is also mercury; which is used in flat screen displays, some older batteries & switches, and is highly toxic to the environment. If mercury is leaked into water, any fish there will be infected, and there may be deformities in growing animals, as well as arsenic, which is found in some older CRT tubes, and is highly toxic, as a lethal dose is about 100 mg. There are many more chemicals; which can do anything from lowering the rate of animal decomposition, to higher death rates for plants and animals.
In Guiyu, China, woman were heating circuit boards over coal fires, while the men were using a medieval acid recipe to take out the gold inside the e-waste; all without any kind of protection. Unfortunately, not only does this poison their bodies, it also destroys the environment. As a by-product of the e-waste there, the children have too much lead in their blood, drinking water is trucked in, and the air is filled with some of the most toxic chemicals on earth such as mercury, and lead.
Effects of E-waste on the Environment
A boy in Ghana burning wires.
This is an e-waste dumping site in Ghana. The developed nations have been sending their e-waste here for years. When it arrives, the kids break the computers by either smashing the electronics, or burning them, just to make a living. Every day, they breathe in the toxic fumes that slowly poison them. As if that wasn't enough, the fumes made by burning the electronics also contain heavily toxic chemicals that severely harm the earth and air. While the fumes made the air very heavy with smoke, the other chemicals pollute the groundwater and soil, making them too toxic to use.
Effects e-waste has on human health.
Some effects burning e-waste can have on human health include birth defects, brain damage heart and liver damage, kidney damage nervous system damage and skeletal system damage. The different metals in the e-waste damage human health in different ways some of the more damaging metals include mercury, nickel, cadmium, silver, lithium, palladium, barium and rhodium.
Now I will tell you about the different effects the different metals in e-waste can affect human health. When people inhale the toxic fumes from burning mercury (found in display screens and old computer batteries)it can create birth defects, brain damage, heart and liver damage, kidney damage, and nervous system damage. When people inhale the toxic fumes from burning nickel (found in hard drives) it can cause birth defects, heart and liver damage, and kidney damage. When humans inhale the fumes from burning cadmium some problems that may occur include birth defects heart/liver damage, kidney damage, nervous system damage, and skeletal system damage. When humans breathe in the toxic fumes from burning silver (found in circuit boards and plasma display screens) some things that may happen include birth defects, brain damage, heart damage, liver and lung damage, and nervous/reproductive system damage. When humans inhale the fumes from burning or dissolving lithium it may cause birth defects, brain damage, heart, liver, lung, and spleen damage, as well as kidney damage, and nervous/reproductive system damage (lithium is used in rechargeable batteries). Barium causes brain damage, and heart, liver, lung, and spleen damage. It's found in TV picture tubes, and removes the gases in it. Lead causes birth defects, brain damage, kidney damage, and nervous/reproductive system damage. There is about 5 pounds of lead in CRTs. Rhodium causes heart, liver, lung, and spleen damage.
Most of the people being damaged by burning e-waste live in developing countries were the e-waste is illegally being shipped. Most of the people that live in these developing countries know that the smoke from the burning e-waste can greatly affect their health. (According to PBS documentary Ghana digital dumping ground )Despite this fact the people are forced to make a decision between health and money. Most of them choose money because it allows them to live in a shelter as opposed to on the street.
A mountain of e-waste in China.
Unfortunately, while we like the idea of keeping their old technology out of landfills by replacing parts, most people don't. As a general rule, its fairly cheaper just to get new electronics, instead of fixing or replacing broken parts. But this just serves to increase the amount of e-waste in our garage. When we throw them out, we either throw them out, or take them to companies that say they will recycle the electronics in safe and controlled environments. Unfortunately, most companies simply put them on a boat that smuggles them into developing countries and let the local residents deal with the trash. Another part of the problems lies in the companies that actually make the electronics. Since the bosses want to make more money, the electronics are less recyclable, more toxic, and break easily. Not only does this harm the workers, it also poisons the atmosphere during production, and unsafe recycling. 105 developed countries agreed on a full ban to not send e-waste to undeveloped countries. A large part of the problem lies in the fact that the American and Canadian governments have not signed the treaty, and are constantly trying to undermine the treaty. Taking advantage of the situation, certain companies ship massive amounts of e-waste each year to developing countries, which isn't helping at all. Another problem lies in us. The truth is, if were to choose between quality, and how green a product is, most of us would choose quality, even at the expense of other people. As for recycling, we would rather dump all our e-waste in someone else's yard instead of our own. If we want to make a difference, we have to actually do something about, instead of just talking about it.
Why don't we do anything about it?
Above: A graph on e-waste component and their effect on human health.
Below: A woman cooking motherboards over a fire.
The above graph shows the known and suspected routes of e-waste dumping. The ones in red are places getting dumped on them, and the ones in dark red are suspected, while the green ones are dumping.
When your electronic breaks, try to see if it can be fixed before recycling it, or you can give it to someone else. If you do choose to recycle it, make sure the place your giving it to will recycle it properly, instead of shipping it to other countries. Don't throw it out, because that will cause the chemicals inside to pollute the environment. You could choose greener products, from companies that use less or don't use toxic chemicals in the electronics.
One easy way to cut down on e-waste is simply to not buy any unneeded electronics. And ask yourself; do you really need this, or do you just want for the sake of having it, or because it's the newest. Not only will not buying unneeded electronic keep your old ones out of landfills, it will also save you a lot of money.
Some other things you could do would be to make a petition for the government to get companies to get rid of the number of poisons in the electronics, or protest.
What should we do about this crisis?

2nd Annual CSEBA 5k Fundraiser Benefits CA School Districts
California Schools Employee Benefits Association Plans to Donate a Record Amount of Proceeds to Member School Districts for Health & Wellness Grants
One such event is the upcoming 2nd Annual CSEBA 5k which will take place on Sunday, January 22 at the Chaffey College Campus in Rancho Cucamonga. The run begins on the east end of Grigsby Field and proceeds to the winding campus roads, keeping runners off main streets and on the safety of the college grounds. Designed for all skill levels, the course has a few inclines and curves, but is mainly a flat easy course. Participants finish the ending half-mile walking or running back into the stadium grounds where a live DJ motivates everyone to cross the finish line. The event includes a finisher's tee shirt and a custom medal to commemorate the event. Race day registration and packet pick up is from 7:30 am to 8:30 am. Early registration is encouraged to ensure a spot. For all the pertinent details and to sign-up online, go to the 5k registration page.
Categories for participants range from individuals to groups who want to run, walk or even dance across the finish line, all to benefit local school districts while having a healthy, good time. According to Ellen Alcala, CSEBA Employee Benefits Manager, "We look forward to donating a record amount of proceeds from the CSEBA 5k to our school districts. Funds will be returned to them in the form of grants to use for health and wellness." For those who can't actually be there in person at Chaffey College on January 22nd, they can register as a Virtual Participant. Simply use a smartphone app confirming completion of a distance of 3.1 miles and snap a selfie. Those can be emailed along with a mailing address to email@example.com. CSEBA will send out a medal and tee-shirt as soon as the event is over.
Through programs such as the 5k Run, Golf Tournaments and other events, CSEBA is getting closer to its own goals of inspiring lifelong well-being and promoting healthy living all while giving back to member school districts.
5k Event Details and Schedule:
Race day registration and packet pick up - 7:30 am to 8:30 am
The Kid's Race starts at 8:30 am with one lap around the track
CSEBA 5k Walk/Run Starts at 9:00 am

text: News Corp. Ltd., a company controlled by Australian publisher Rupert Murdoch, said it sold the Village Voice weekly newspaper to Leonard Stern for ``in excess of $55 million.`` Stern is chairman and chief executive officer of Hartz Mountain Industries, a pet-supplies and real estate development firm based in New Jersey. Murdoch disclosed last month that he planned to sell the Village Voice, a publication with a circulation of about 150,000 and an editorial stance far more liberal than most other Murdoch publications. A Murdoch spokesman said the sale of the Village Voice is unrelated to the proposed $2 billion acquisition by Murdoch and oilman Marvin Davis of seven television stations from Metromedia Inc. Because of that television deal, Murdoch faces the likelihood of having to divest his Chicago Sun-Times and New York Post newspapers to comply with federal media cross-ownership rules. In 1976, Murdoch purchased the Village Voice and New York and New West magazines for $16 million.

I have been praying for a year that this film would be good. Or should I say, whenever my love of the scream trilogy and my knowledge of #4 coincided. Well, I loved it.
Acting/characters: Well, it had the cast that we all know and love. Plus some additional members like Rory Culkin. The acting was almost as good as it was in the original two for me. Well, at least it was once it all got going. The start of the film went a little too slow and wasn't as well done as the rest of the film but once it got going I highly enjoyed it. The big three lacked a little of the original charm that they all had in the first one, but I still enjoyed their characters. The rest of them were okay. You could kind of tell who was going to get it and when but that's an unavoidable part of the slasher genre. Nothing you can do about that. Unfortunately, they still kind of went for Ken and Barbie with a lot of the characters. But, I wasn't incredibly distracted by that once it all got going. 8/10
Plot: It had what the third one didn't and what the first two nailed: satire. I really loved the satirical elements of the film overall. Like I said earlier, the whole thing had a slow, not very well done start, (past the first 10 minutes or so) but it's kind of the ending that counts because that's what you remember. It had some good jumps in there but it didn't completely rely on them like so many other slashers of the Third Age. But it did very well in satirizing the giant remake and reboot craze that is going on. Well done there. But it was kind of predictable at moments. But like I said, it's nearly impossible to make the whole thing a surprise with a genre like this. But it did well for me overall. 8/10
Screenplay: Like most slashers, this was the weakest part. I did not like some of the lines that Wes Craven put in there. But it wasn't all completely horrible. It just started out that way. I suppose that once the action got going I didn't really care what they were saying because I was engrossed in who Ghostface would butcher next and how. It was overall good and fit with the story nicely. Not perfect though. It needed some tuning. 7.5/10
Likableness: If I had the money, I would go out and see this one again. And again. I loved it. I had a grand time watching this one and while it wasn't quite what the first one was, I would put it roughly on the same level that the second one achieved for me. I had a blast. Good thing I went through that modern slasher phase of my slasher marathon or I wouldn't have gotten a lot of the jokes and references that they made. Of course, there are still a lot of references to the good old original ones. I will buy this film as soon as I can. I really loved it. 9/10
Final Score: 32.5/40 81% (N)
TRIVIA TIME: 1. Scout Taylor-Compton and Shane Dawson auditioned for roles in the movie.
2. At a table read on June 25, 2010, the actors were told to stop reading at page 75 to prevent those already cast in the film from knowing the climax.
3. With four installments, this landmarks the Scream franchise as being one of the only horror franchises to have its main characters return for all its sequels.

AKRAP (Scorpio) 23 10 – 22 11th
The ruling planets: Mars, Pluto
Element: Water
Attribute: passion
Quality: constant
Imperfection: Aggression
Color: Red
Gemstone: agate
Life expectancy: 80 years
In this month, the inspiration of Tishrei is integrated into real life. The numerical value of this month's Hebrew letter nun (nun) is 50, indicating the 50 levels of Divine consciousness we can attain when we are spiritually proactive, and the 50 levels of impurity we can sink into if we let life as it is. The poison of the Scorpion is cold, symbolizing the danger of approaching life without passion. The name of this month's tribe, Menasheh, also spells "breath" , connecting it to the sense we refine this month, smell.
People born under the sign of akrav are strong, courageous, uncompromising, energetic and smart personality. They have a logical and rational way of thinking and reasoning but are always impassioned. In addition, they are serious, competent, loyal, and combat and have a good sense of what is practical. They are mystical and magical, mysterious and very passionate. They have expressed interest and meaning for all forms of occultism. Never get involved in the goals that were not previously insight into the locate. They are reliable and very sensitive. To achieve their goals usually do whatever they do, if necessary, be aggressive.
Aggression is part of their nature as part of their nature – under normal circumstances – is calm and noble. They are not conformists, but tend to be jealous and possessive, and often egotistical. Akrav sometimes has a dark nature, and is perpetually dissatisfied, heavy, hypocritical, defiant and spiteful. Outside they act as phlegmatic, choleric or inside. However, it can be very principled and worthy. He's worried about his family and the people he cares about. According partner feels deep emotions and passion and is very possessive, often to self-destruction. Faithfulness is imperative the very thought of adultery leads him to anger. It has a distinct magnetism of the opposite sex and most sexual of all the zodiac signs.
He's always eager to erotic arousal, but your partner is not easy to meet. He loves his home and children who are trying to fulfill all wishes. Economy is where he's good at. They are related to the acquisition of material goods. He's good on the tasks of reconstruction, reorganization and seeking new solutions and opportunities. If you opt for this can be an outstanding officer, police officer, technician, and educator. Because of his rebellion akrav are often revolutionaries, rebels and anarchists. In business you do not know how to compromise when it comes to a certain task and achieve a given goal. Stringent and unforgiving toward his associates and subordinates , but first with yourself. Do not look for understanding and mercy for themselves, but they did not lenient towards others. In general speaking, akrav on average have good health. Weak points are diseases of their genital organs, gynecological disorders, cysts, abortion, and problems in the testicles. In addition, both men are sensitive head, ears, teeth, spine and legs, but in women the liver, teeth and eyes.
The astrological month of Scorpio, or as it is called in Hebrew, Mar-Cheshvan, is the Left column water sign, and is ruled by the planet Mars (Ma'a dim) and the celestial body Pluto.
The Book of Formation speaks of seven planets in the solar system of which the planet Mars was identified as Scorpio's ruling planet. In more recent times, additional planets and astrological bodies have been discovered, and as a result, have been found to bear influence on the signs. Scorpio, therefore, has two ruling planets: Mars as stated in The Book of Formation and Pluto (discovered in 1930). Kabbalistic astrology, however, focuses on the seven traditional planets.
All water signs are emotional, but Scorpios are particularly irrational when it comes to their emotions. They go to extremes, in both positive and negative respects. There is only black and white in the world of the Scorpio; no gray areas. If you are not their friend, then you are by default their enemy, and you will most definitely be treated that way. As the Left Column of the water signs, Scorpios have a tremendous desire for power and control, and seek these at any cost. They do not waver, they do not falter, and they stay their course with total determination and strength, which can sometimes result in unnecessary force and violence. Mars, which rules the month of Scorpio, is the planet (and not coincidentally the Greek god of war), which makes Scorpios warriors who have the drive to eliminate their enemy no matter what.
Pluto rules life and death, as well as the power and energy of the seed, which manifests as new life. Scorpio's deep sexual desires are rooted in the compulsion to propagate the human race.
Scorpio is a fixed sign, which means that they do not like change and want total control over their lives and the lives of those around them. Their greatest fear is to lose control. In the Scorpio world of extremes, love is everything. If they feel their love is not reciprocated, this love can turn into hate. It is very difficult for Scorpios to forgive and forget. The typical Scorpio will not rest until he has his revenge. This is the hardest Tikun (correction) of Scorpios – to control the urge to avenge, and instead to live, love and let go.
Mar-Cheshvan, in Hebrew means "bitter Cheshvan". However, it can be transformed into Ram Cheshvan, which means "elevated Cheshvan". Our job throughout the month, therefore, is to transform that which is bitter into sweet, that which is lowly into lofty. It takes a strong consciousness and self-control to achieve this transformation. It is not easy to make the dark forces completely white.
Scorpios are very good businesspeople. They like money because it gives them control and power. They are very good politicians, doctors, physiologists, astrologers, and financiers. They have a powerful intuition, along with strong mystical and spiritual powers. If a Scorpio chooses a life of crime, they can end up being the most lethal and ruthless members of their crime family.
The Great Flood took place in the month of Scorpio. Noah's generation was corrupt and God saw no other way but to destroy it completely with the flood. Only Noah, his family, and a pair of all of Earth's creatures remained alive because of the protection provided by the Ark.
Scorpio tends to be a month of negative energy and one of the only months lacking in holidays. Scorpio is a good time to focus on negative patterns, the ill feelings we harbor, and the grudges that we may bear.
If we overcome the natural tendency toward revenge, toward taking the law in our hands, toward giving people what they "deserve," and focus on revealing more Light in the world, we can thrive in this month. As Rav Berg says, "the war against the darkness is not fought with guns and artillery, but by lighting as many candles as possible." The more Light we bring to the world, the more darkness we eradicate, because darkness cannot exist where there is Light.
Sharp, extremely intuitive, reliable, charismatic, honest, generous
Motivation: Control
Scorpios are very emotional and take things too seriously.
Learn to fear less and love more. That is the secret of letting go.
They are renowned for their jealously and sharp tongue.
What is the punishment for jealousy? Jealousy itself!
One thing that most people don't know about Scorpios is that they are plagued with fears.
Instead of using mind games to mask the fear, be honest with yourself. Face your fears so you can get rid of them.
Scorpios have a talent for organization and are completely reliable. Unfortunately, there is a hook: they want to control you.
Controlling people is an exercise in futility. The only person you can truly control is yourself.
Hot one minute, cold the next.
Moderation, moderation, and moderation
For a better relationship with them you have to:
- Stay calm. Reacting to a Scorpio in crisis only puts them further in crisis
- Teach them with examples, not with logical explanations
- Find ways to build their self-esteem. Low self-image is the source of their aggressive behavior.
They are fulfilled with:
- Recognizing and accepting their fears
- Learning to trust people
- Fighting for a common goal (not a personal one)
- Letting go of negative past experiences
- Avoiding revenge
Life Leson:
– Learning to forgive and give second chances

Attorney is quite possibly the worst ballot designation a candidate can have (Political Consultant is another).
Why? Because of people like Jeff Seaton. Let me explain.
With the Death Penalty debate returning to California this fall – I decided to research the legal underworld to understand the mentality of ACLU type criminal defense lawyers. I wanted to find out why some lawyers decide to defend murderers and violent offenders while others defend the rest of us. Don't get me wrong, everyone deserves a good defense. However, I discovered that it takes a special person to work for society's dark side.
My research led me to this special kind of lawyer in nearby Amador County – Jeffery Seaton. He specializes in defending rapists, child molesters, and other violent scum. He apparently is really good at it.The thing that really makes my stomach turn is that Jeffery Seaton is running for Superior Court Judge in Amador. Every pot farmer, pimp, gang leader or just a garden variety Megan's Law-Lister – will be making plans to move to Jackson if this guy gets elected Judge.
A good example would be People vs. Olivetto. A woman was brutally raped. The rapist got off Scott-free because the co-defendant was acquitted. Mr. Seaton "defense" made sure that the victim lost her nerve to go through another trial. In fact, Seaton sent a letter to the editor where he referred to the criminal justice system as a "Gauntlet for Defendants."
So much for the rape shield law.
Time and again – Seaton shows that he is willing to cross the line of ethics to get "justice" for felons at the expense of society – which makes it seem even more bizarre that the retiring Judge is supporting Seaton.
In the case People VS. Ordaz – Ordaz was accused of assaulting a CHP officer. Seaton argued that the CHP officer should be on trial – I am wondering how a Judge Seaton would treat a CHP officer in his courtroom.
Seaton's reputation has been built by getting career sex offenders off the hook – Take the case of the People vs. Leandro. Leandro was accused of molesting a young boy at the park. Somehow, Seaton got a jury to agree that the behavior of Leandro was not lewd. I can't expand on the details of the case here as this blog would be rated X.
Recently, Seaton got a very large donation ($10,000) from the Jackson Rancheria (it should be noted that 35% of the crime in Amador is connected to this casino) – and Seaton appears to have connections to the important local political people. I am not sure what exactly is going on here, as supporting a guy like Seaton appears to be contrary to the interests of Law enforcement and conservatives. More to come…
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

It is our mission to make dance accessible for all by providing educational outreach programs and quality productions at low-cost ticket rates, while creating opportunities for young emerging dancers to grow in their art form as they share the gift of dance and the performing arts with the community. But we are able only to exist and put our NWDT founder and artistic director June Taylor's vision into motion because of our patrons, donors, and sponsors. Ticket sales actually only cover a small portion of production costs, but each tax-deductible donation helps us provide young dancers the opportunity to perform and serve the public through affordable performances and free educational outreach programs that are made accessible to all members of our community. You can make a difference. Whether it is by making a tax-deductible direct donation through Arts People (learn more NWDT community sponsorship benefits), or by choosing Northwest Dance Theatre as your nonprofit of choice for each AmazonSmile purchase you make throughout the year, your support makes NWDT possible.
Thank you for supporting NWDT and helping us touch the lives and hearts of all ages with the joy of dance!

A man from Osage City, Kansas, died Wednesday afternoon after a work accident at a steel plant. Today, investigators began looking into the details of the accident and how the fatality occured.
The man killed has been identifed as Johnnie Dorsey, 50. Dorsey served as a production assistant at Schuff Steel in Ottawa, Kansas, and had been on the job approximately one month. Little is known, at this time, about how the accident occured, but Dorsey was taken to a local hospital where he later died.
The Kansas office of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration is currently invesigating the matter, but additional information regarding the accidnet or Dorseyhas not been released. Inital reports indicate that police officers were summoned to the plant about 1 p.m. on Wednesday. However, officers did not investigate because an industrial accident had occured, not a crime.
Schuff Steel fabricates structural steel for sports stadiums, skyscrapers and other larger construction projects. The plant is closed today and Friday so that officials can continue to invesigate Dorsey's death.
For more information on this subject, please refer to the section on Workplace Injuries and Workers Compensation

People who work for themselves instead of working through an employer receive compensation income based on the fees charged to their clients or customers. Self-employed persons also incur expenses related to their work, and such business-related expenses directly reduce the amount of self-employed income that is subject to various federal and state taxes.
The Self-Employed Tax Base
Self-employed persons are taxed on their net self-employed income, in contrast to employees who are for the most part taxed on their gross wages before any work-related deductions.
Various business expenses can be deducted directly against income by a self-employed person, such as expenses for advertising, office supplies, and equipment. The net amount of self-employed income, that is after allowable deductions have been subtracted out, is subject to the following federal and state taxes.
Federal Income Tax
The US federal government imposes income tax on net self-employed income. This tax is calculated on the Form 1040 each year. The income tax rate gradually becomes higher as income rises. Federal income tax is not deducted automatically from the fee income received by clients and customers. Instead, self-employed persons remit their tax payments using the estimated tax system.
Social Security Tax
The Social Security tax is a flat tax with a maximum cap. The Social Security tax is a flat 12.4 percent of all compensation income, up to a maximum compensation amount of $118,500.
This $118,500 amount is called the Social Security wage base. The wage base amount is set each year by Social Security. The Social Security tax is paid for half by the employer and half by the employee. The self-employed person pays both halves of Social Security, but also takes a deduction for the employer's portion of the Social Security tax as an additional deduction against the income tax.
Medicare Tax
The Medicare tax is a flat tax at a rate of 2.9 percent on all compensation income. Half of the Medicare tax, or 1.45 percent, is paid for by the employer. The other half of the Medicare tax, also 1.45 percent, is paid for by the employee. The self-employed person pays both halves, but takes a deduction for the employer's portion of Medicare as a deduction against the income tax.
The Self-Employment Tax
The self-employment tax is the combined Social Security and Medicare taxes due on net self-employment income. Self-employed persons take a deduction for the employer's portion of the Self-Employment tax as a line item deduction on page 1 of their Form 1040. The self-employment tax itself and the deduction for the employer portion is calculated on Schedule SE.
State Income Tax
State income tax rates apply to net self-employment income. Some states have a flat tax rate (such as Massachusetts' 5.3 percent flat rate), other states have progressive or graduated tax rates, and still other states have no income tax at all.
City and Local Taxes
Cities and localities throughout the nation impose their own income taxes. New York City is perhaps the most famous example of a city income tax.
Some local taxes are imposed at the city level (such as in Ohio), other taxes are imposed at the county level (such as Indiana), while other taxes are set by school district (as in Iowa).
More about city and local taxes.
Various Local Business Taxes
City and county governments may impose business taxes on self-employed persons, such as city business license or city payroll taxes. New York City, for example, imposes an Unincorporated Business Tax on self-employed persons. And San Francisco applies its city payroll tax to income from self-employment.
Federal and State Payroll Taxes
Unlike wage and salary income, self-employed income is not subject to federal and state unemployment insurance taxes, nor is it subject to state insurance funds such as the California state disability insurance program.
Some states, however, permit self-employed persons to voluntarily opt-in to state insurance programs.
Income Reporting for Self-Employed Persons
Your customers and clients may request that a self-employed vendor fill out a Form W-9. The information contained on this form will be used to provide the self-employed person with a Form 1099-MISC after the year is over to report repayments during the year that totaled $600 or more. Form 1099-MISC is sent to the IRS as well.
The self-employed person might likewise need to request W-9 Forms from vendors and subcontractors and in turn issue 1099-MISC if they paid $600 or more to any single vendor.
Additionally, the self-employed person will report their total gross income for the year on Form 1040 using either Schedule F if they are running a farm or Schedule C if they are conducting a non-farm-related business.
Work Both as an Employee and Self-Employed
Some self-employed persons also work as employees. In this situation, their total Social Security tax will be coordinated using Schedule SE when calculating their Social Security and Medicare taxes. A single Social Security wage base, currently at $118,500, is used for compensation income, whether as an employee or self-employed. Additionally, the self-employed person might be able to adjust their withholding on their wage income to have more taxes taken out, in lieu of sending in estimated payments.
What If You're Not Really Self-Employed
Some employers mistakenly classify their employees as self-employed contractors. This has the advantage (to the employer) of not having to incur the administrative and financial costs of payroll withholding. But this can have a huge tax impact on the worker, who now has to pay twice the Social Security and Medicare taxes they ordinarily would pay. Workers who think they may have been wrongly classified as an independent contractor can contact the IRS to request that the agency look into the matter. To facilitate this IRS investigation, the worker should use Form SS-8, requesting that the IRS make a determination of whether the worker is self-employed or an employee.

The folks at the Carroll ISD Education Foundation know how to put on a party, and their annual gala coming up Sept. 9 at the Southlake Hilton will only serve to keep their party reputation intact. The annual benefit will transport guests to a party scene typically found in the bright lights of Las Vegas.
For a Vegas party to rock your world, it needs Elvis — hence the event name "Viva Las Dragons." Event organizers are working like crazy to make sure guests party like the King of Rock and Roll while helping students in all Southlake schools. Tasty dishes from top local chefs, all the beverages you want, music, casino games and an expansive auction are on the agenda for the evening of fun.
"Please join CEF at our 21st annual celebration and benefit as we raise funds that will directly benefit our CISD teachers and students," said event co-chair Kathy Talley. "This year's Vegas-style event will be loaded with fun, including a Cash Cube and Big Texas Wheel. Ed Bunner and I are proud to co-chair this year and represent CEF as we move forward in exciting, new directions." Others on the event committee include Stephanie Pennington, Julie Doyle, Laura Grosskopf, Alec Knight and Jessica Byrne.
Arriving guests will be led into the ballroom by senior members of the Carroll Dragon Drumline to hear an exclusive announcement about an upcoming rebranding effort geared to help the education foundation better respond to funding needs of the schools. Musical entertainment will be provided by a DJ, and emcee for the evening is Chuck Cooperstein, radio voice of the Dallas Mavericks and ESPN Radio talk show host.
Bidders will go crazy for auction items like an Argentinean dove hunt complete with a private guide and personal bird assistant. Or how about winning a four-day vacation at any of eight exclusive resort homes in destinations like Tahoe, Grand Cayman, Los Cabos or Costa Rica?
For those ready for some Mavs magic, place your bid on four floor seats to a Mavericks home game. Another lucky bidder will experience a behind-the-scenes look at Cooperstein's pre-and-post game interviews, dinner with Chuck and special ESPN seats at the game.
A gorgeous ocean-side villa in the Residences at Las Ventanas will be the vacation home for the top bidder on a magical dream escape. For those eager to think ahead to Christmas, up for bid is the chance to become honorary mayor of Southlake at the annual tree-lighting festivities.
Mobile bidding will make it easy to keep track of bids while guests see if Lady Luck will smile upon them in casino games like poker, Texas hold 'em, craps and the Texas Big Wheel, where a spin wins a prize valued at more than the cost to play.
Local restaurants generously donate their time and cuisine to provide gala guests with the best in culinary small plates. Brio Tuscan Grille, Copelands of New Orleans, Del Frisco's Grille, Feedstore BBQ, FnG Eats, Great Scott and Howard Wang's China Grill are among the lineup of eateries.
Other chef-prepared dishes will come from Il Calabrese, Kirby's Prime Steakhouse, Mason & Dixie, Meat U Anywhere, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Scratch Kitchen, Taverna Rossa, Truluck's and Wildwood Grill.
Since CEF formed in 1996, classroom grants totaling more than $1.3 million have been awarded for special initiatives and programs. The foundation has raised another $1.2 million for a special investment account to cover educational programs as needed. The CEF has also awarded around $200,000 in scholarships for graduating seniors.
Tickets to the gala are $125 per person and can be purchased online at www.southlakecef.org. Event proceeds will enable grants and scholarships to continue. Direct inquires to Executive Director Laura Grosskopf at 817-949-7064.
Art show and sale benefits Historic Fort Worth preservation projects
It's that time of year that Fort Worth art lovers eagerly anticipate. Serious collectors and those making casual art acquisitions both love the monthlong event called Preservation is the Art of the City hosted by the folks at Historic Fort Worth.
"In its 15th year, the art show and sale is comprised of works by almost 60 local artists who paint in a variety of mediums. A special section of the show called 'Stories from the City' is for preservation-themed artworks," said HFW spokeswoman Suzy Coleman.
Coleman said in the past 15 years nearly 700 artists have participated by exhibiting and selling nearly 4,000 works of art for the thousands of visitors who attend the show. The artists receive 65 percent of the sale of their art with the remaining 35 percent going to the preservation programs operated by Historic Fort Worth.
Honorary chairman of the event is Michael J. Bennett, principal and CEO of Bennett Benner Partners. The featured artist is Val Hunnicutt, who is a Fort Worth native. A highlight of the multifaceted event is the announcement of the Artists Awards. Given the difficult task of choosing the winners will be local art gallery owner David Dike.
"The Party with the Artists on Sept. 7 will give guests an opportunity to meet the talented artists who have created the lovely artwork that surrounds them and be the first to purchase original pieces for their home or office," said Coleman. Party tickets are $150 for general reservations and $100 for HFW members.
"The art show and sale is a wonderful way to find just the right work of art to enhance an undressed wall or add a fresh look to an existing space," Coleman said. The art show and sale opens Sept. 8 and runs until Sept. 23 at the Fort Worth Community Arts Center, 1300 Gendy St.
Special events include Gallery Night on Sept. 9 and the Cantey Lecture & Preservations Awards on Sept. 21. Check out a complete schedule of events at www.historicfortworth.org or call Coleman at 817-336-2344, ext. 100, to inquire about details. Event proceeds benefit the preservation programs of Historic Fort Worth as they preserve such landmarks as Thistle Hill and McFarland House.
Art & Music Festival Sept. 9 in Mansfield features The Drifters
The Downtown Mansfield Historic District will be a jammin' place on Saturday, Sept. 9 from 4 to 10 p.m. for the Music Alley Festival. Music will be performed on four stages throughout the event along with interactive painting demonstrations and a kids area to make this a family-friendly day of fun.
Bands will perform on each stage throughout the day and at 8 p.m. the headliner band will be Motown legends The Drifters. Artwork will be for sale at booths located throughout the festival space. Twelve talented vocalists will be standing on stage at The Lot to compete in the Mansfield's Voice competition, where first-, second- and third-place winners will take home cash prizes.
Food trucks and vendors and a beer and wine tent will provide all the festival foods anyone could want. And for those who love dancing, they can cut a rug on a 400-square-foot dance floor. Instructors will be on hand to teach basic dance steps in everything from swing and salsa to the Texas two-step just before each band takes the stage.
In a unique twist, there will be a live art exhibition where guests can watch artists create a painting or mixed media piece on the spot in real time. The completed masterpieces will then be available for purchase.
Special guest artist is Jimmy Don Holmes, a metal artist frequently featured on HGTV's "Fixer Upper." A great photo opp in front of the hand-painted murals (complete with props) decorating the stages and streets will be popular with attendees. And the chance to create a piece of record spin art will be a big attraction.
The Kids Alley will have magician Braden Daniels doing amazing tricks as well as a puppet show and an interactive drum circle. A hands-on experience at the musical instrument petting zoo will be a unique chance for more kids' fun.
"Historic Downtown Mansfield is ready to rock with the area's newest music and arts festival where we will truly have something for everyone," said city spokeswoman Ann Beck. Admission to the festival and all concerts is free. Festival space is located at Broad Street at Farm Road 157/Main Street. Contact Beck at 817-804-5766 and visit www.mansfieldtexas.gov for details.
Party planned as H-E-B chamber turns 62 will feature illusionist Jeff Lee
To celebrate 62 years of expertly serving the business community in Hurst, Euless and Bedford, the H-E-B Chamber of Commerce will host a Birthday Bash on Sept. 16 at the Hurst Conference Center.
Party guests will enjoy a seated dinner, live music from the Northeast Orchestra and pianist Stan Paschal along with the buzz and excitement generated by silent and live auctions.

Tickets are $75, and proceeds benefit chamber programs, including Leadership H-E-B and Challenge by Choice. Learn more at www.HEB.org or call the office at 817-283-1521.

shirt: ASOS | shorts: DIY American Eagle [old] | hat: Free People
swimsuit: L*Space | sandals: Sam Edelman [other color]
Another outfit from my recent trip to Mexico. This was taken one of the first few days we were there. You'll [maybe] notice, as the trip goes on, I get some color on my skin. Anyway, this is one of my favorite shirts . . . Seriously. I bought about a year ago. It's still in great shape, even though I wear it all the time. It's the perfect tee. And this swimming suit? I. DIE. You'll understand the moment you put it on. Prepare to see several more looks from Mexico! Thanks for stopping by!

last blog post. Holy smokes (minus "Habemus Papam"), y'all! Not only did I get way more comments than I'm used to on the actual post, but the number of tweets and retweets and private messages surprised me. It looks like it's a widespread problem for many people... and that's incredibly sad to realize. I know people either love or hate The Benedict Option (which I read several weeks ago) but it makes you think about how much different things would be if we all lived in a community that was supportive and spiritually nurturing. Perhaps maybe then so many people -- especially young adults -- wouldn't fall away? *shrugs*
I've apparently (and unintentionally) boarded the struggle bus once again in the past couple of days, making prayer hard for me. I also didn't go to Mass last weekend (the first weekend that I've missed since last month) but not because I didn't want to. I passed out on Saturday from a tremendous fatigue that I've yet to shake off. Then, on Sunday, I had the extreme fatigue (which made me sleep through the alarms in the morning) followed by terrible palpitations and anxiety attacks. No explanation for them; I couldn't figure out a trigger for the anxiety or the fatigue. I'm hoping to go to confession and Mass tonight since Mom works most Sundays and gets home physically done for (she's on her feet all 8 hours). Fingers crossed that the weather (unbearable heat makes me physically sick and not even the car's a/c helps sometimes) and everything else cooperates with me.
The good thing is the Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati novena begins tomorrow. I know I've spoken quite a bit about him in the last couple of posts (and throughout the years, for those who've been following the blog for a while now) and I will continue to do so because he seems to be the one who is consistently interceding for me when I find myself in a spiritual rut/dryness. It's returned in the past two days (the spiritual dryness) but I hope to remedy that with a trip to the confessional and Mass today God willing). I will be scheduling the daily novena prayers for 8 a.m. PST. Each day has different prayers so keep an eye out for them. I've also found that posting the novena prayers on this blog helps those who are normally prone to forget about doing a novena every day. If I post something else between June 25 and July 9th, I will try to do it in the evenings so that the posts are spread out.
Also, a letter to Pope Francis has been written in order to appeal that he canonizes Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati next year at the "Young People, the Faith, and Vocational Discernment" synod. You can watch a video made by Bl. PGF's niece (daughter of his only sister), learn more about the letter or even sign the petition at this website. You don't have to be a "youth" to sign the letter; there's no age restriction. If you've previously done a novena to ask for his intercession and he has answered it, you can also add it to the petition. I'm definitely filling it out. The first time he interceded for me, I was able to graduate with a $2k loan instead of a $80k loan at my alma mater; a massive difference between those two numbers. The last couple of times I've blogged about it (in recent weeks) so you all know the big way he's coming through for me in the past month or so.
And that's it for this "odds and ends" post. I'm going to try to go to confession and Mass and pray that the fatigue (and the lightheadedness that accompanies it) will not make things harder for me, especially in this heat. I really shouldn't be driving right now but I know we won't make it to Mass tomorrow so... we're going to try. Prayers appreciated.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend!
As always, thanks for reading and God bless! :D

Urban Hunting with the CLA Shooting Brake in Madrid.
Dabiz Muñoz: The knife-wielding rock star of StreetXO.
To call Dabiz Muñoz an artist is certainly no exaggeration. Long before it opens, the 35-year-old Michelin chef's street food restaurant StreetXO already attracts the sizeable queue of a popular concert. His dishes – a vibrant blend of Spanish tradition and Asian aromas – enchant eyes and taste buds alike with their spectacular presentation and unusual flavour pairings.
Or have you ever tried the unique combination of Korean lasagna with Galician beef, shiitake mushrooms and a cardamom-infused béchamel sauce?
The plate as a canvas.
Before Muñoz cooked up a storm with his premium street food, the radical kitchen punk already boasted three Michelin stars for his restaurant DiverXO. Here, the plates serve as a generous canvas for inspired edible masterpieces. Muñoz loves to coax the exceptional from his guests and ingredients, to prepare dishes like Chinese dumplings with crispy pig ears and fruity strawberry hoisin sauce – all while wearing straitjackets. So, be prepared for a healthy dose of mad genius.
Uncompromising life and cuisine.
Muñoz approaches his life with the same uncompromising outlook that he displays in the kitchen. Running the New York marathon a day before a full shift? Check.
Staging oneself in a short film with raw meat, blood and plenty of make-up nearly as in a music video? Done – as seen on his home page.
Beyond mainstream: the CLA Shooting Brake.
When we join Dabiz Muñoz in the CLA Shooting Brake for a ride on the majestic Gran Via and through the narrow alleyways of Madrid's hot Malasaña quarter, passers-by can't help but stare. Both the expressive, athletic car and its driver – sporting his unmistakable trademark mohawk – capture all eyes and cameras.
Muñoz is truly at home in this city: Ready to go his own way and to conquer the rest of the world.More information about the Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake in our
