Big and Tall Man's Belts
How you wear a big man belt is a litmus test for a man's fashion sense. Perfecting this simple task will confirm that you know your clothing style.
Errors or mismatch may indicate that there is more to learn when it comes to dressing like a true gentleman. Fortunately, getting down the basics is not rocket science.
Again, the most important is getting the fundamentals right, the rest is all about your personal taste and expression. To start, let's begin with the belt length.
Check out big man belts on Amazon.com
Big Man's Belt – Length
When it comes to choosing the proper length, a big man dress belts should have several inches of "leftover" leather once it's fastened. There should be enough leather so you can tuck it nicely on the first loop of your pants.
It's better to err on the side of having shorter extra length rather than having a long, wrapping extra leather as this will always look awkward.
When you purchase a big man's belt from a store, it is usually measured in ranges, like 40″-42″. When it comes to choosing the length, a good starting point is having a big man's belt with a measurement of 2 or 3 sizes larger compared to your pants.
For example, if you are size 38″, then your belt should around 40″-42″. Nevertheless, you still need to try wearing the belt as a test. Keep in mind that a nicely worn belt will feel a bit tight.
There is a certain big man's belt that is known as "brass on brass". These are the kinds of belt that has a buckle and a brass cap. You usually feed the other end of the belt into the mechanism and lock it. As a result, there will be no spare belt when looked at the outside.
Most of the time, these kinds of belts are made of fabric. Hence, you can safely trim the length, and then lock the cap in place. Speaking of brass, let's talk about buckles.
Big Man's Belt – Buckles
Another general rule to remember – when it comes to buckles, the smaller it is, the more formal the occasion. Dress belts often have flat and small belt buckles. Larger and rounder buckle shapes are typically worn for casual styles.
Almost all buckles will come in either silver-colored or gold-colored finish.
If you are wearing male jewelry – like tie tacks, cuff-links and such – make sure that your belt color is within the same color family of your male jewelry.
For example, if you have gold-colored tie tacks and cuff-links, then your belt buckle should be within the gold color family. However, there is one exception.
If you have a wedding ring, there is no need for your belt buckle to match the color of your wedding ring. It is already understood in fashion that your ring is independent from the style you want to express.
When it comes to casual wear, you are free to wear any kind of buckle. However, your main concern should be consistency, and not the size and shape of the buckle.
This means if you are wearing large-sized buckles with a western theme, then wear it with a western-style outfit. What you don't want to do is wear the same buckle with an urban look outfit. It's okay to mix and match, but there are certain pairings that simply won't work.
Big Man's Belt – Color
When it comes to the general rule for belt color, leather colors should match. This means that if you are wearing brown leather shoes, then your belt should be of the same leather color. If your shoes are glossy and highly polished, you would want your belt to be glossy also.
The same case for matte belts and matte shoes. One exception is wearing cloth shoes. With cloth shoes, you can wear a cloth belt and it does not have to match to the color of your shoes.
Belts with rare animal patterns are best worn for casual occasions. A snakeskin belt may be too ostentatious when used in a business setting.
An ostrich-skin belt can be very attention-grabbing, but keep in mind the level of attention you would want to attract to your midsection. The same can also be said for belts with bright colors.
Big Man's Belt – Price
You will be surprised how similar looking belts can have a wide difference when it comes to the price. The biggest reason for this is the materials.
To test if the leather is of high-quality, try bending the belt. High-quality leather should not crack or turn brittle.You can also lightly scratch the back of the belt using your fingernails.
Old and hard leather should resist nail scratches and won't show a faint scratch line. Of course, another factor that affects pricing is the brand name. Well-known brands will always cost more.
You could say that wearing the right kind of belt is a simple test to see if you know your fashion basics. However, don't stress too much about it as the basics of the belt wearing is easy to nail.
Just remember a few general rules that this article mentioned, especially when it comes to belt length, buckles, color and pricing.

Open Targets is an innovative, large-scale, multi-year, public-private partnership that uses human genetics and genomics data for systematic drug target identification and prioritisation.
Visit the Open Targets Platform which provides an integration of public domain data to enable target identification and prioritisation.
Visit the Open Targets Platform
Cambridge, 3 May 2018
We are excited to announce that Celgene has joined Open Targets expanding our collective efforts to transform drug discovery through the systematic identification and prioritisation of drug targets. Celgene is a global biopharmaceutical company with expertise in the discovery, development and commercialisation of innovative therapies for patients with cancer, immune-inflammatory and other unmet medical needs, which will enhance the offerings of the current Open Targets collaborators GSK, Biogen, Takeda, the Wellcome Sanger Institute and the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI).
Generating and interpreting the data required to identify a good drug target demands a diverse set of skills, backgrounds, evidence types and technologies, which do not exist today in any single entity. Open Targets brings together expertise from six complementary institutions to systematically identify and prioritise targets from which safe and effective medicines can be developed.
Our goals are to:
We currently focus on oncology, immunology and neurodegeneration through an R&D framework that can be applied to all aspects of human disease. We believe that evidence generated in the most human relevant systems showing which targets are causing disease will have a significant impact on the successful development of new medicines. To build a good therapeutic hypothesis we need to find not only which targets are involved but also how we might alter complex disease mechanisms, and how predictive laboratory and animal results are for humans. Learn more about our science.
Open Targets is committed to openly sharing our data with the scientific community through publications, the internationally recognised databases and the Open Targets Platform. Access our resources.
We welcome discussions with new partners who share our philosophies and scientific interests. Get to know our team and find our contact details.
For more information about Open Targets please see this introductory video.

On Saturday's broadcast of "Justice" on Fox News Channel, host Judge Jeanine Pirro asked guest Sheriff David Clarke how President Barack Obama can support Al Sharpton and Black Lives Matter and then say he is on the same side as the police.
An apparently fed up Clarke began by saying Obama "created the narrative" that has divided the black community and the police and that it's "a shame" the President plays politics, rather than doing what is in the "best interests" of the American people.
"Look, this has gone on long enough. The President of the United States and his ilk need to get their boot off the back of the American police officers so that we can get up and go back the to help maintain what little quality of life exists in the American ghetto. We want to go back to enforce constitutionally approved laws, the rules of law," responded Clarke.
"Until this onslaught, this smearing of the character, the integrity, the sacrificing of the American police officer, until it stops, these rising crime rates, this violence is going to continue and it's to the detriment of the law abiding black community," he added. "I think it's a shame that the President plays politics, that politics plays into this; it's not in the best interests of the American people and not in the interest of law-abiding black people."

Viewing an opening in a prominent New York City gallery, a newspaper art critic was impressed with the work of two young painters.
One of these proteges was Stan Sharp, a lover of street life who often sketched numbed commuters as he rode the subway to school. The other was a man named Andrew Wyeth.
In the 50 years following the show, time fleshed out the roles that the two would play. Wyeth, of course, became Wyeth -- an American standard who created the classic Christina`s World and whose supposedly ``secret Helga paintings`` made national news-magazine covers.
And Stan Sharp? Well, he became an architect. A very good one, no less. Through his New York City-based firm, Ketchum, Gina and Sharp, he spent 30 years designing schools and stores and even an embassy in the Middle East.
Still, it wasn`t quite the same as being an artist, and part of Sharp`s soul yearned for that creative outlet. But he never had much choice. Drawing pictures and starving in garrets is no life for a Sharp, his parents (neither of them artists) told him.
So, being the sweet-natured guy he was, Stanley trundled off to New York University and earned his degree in architecture. In later years, when close friends would be over for dinner, he would take out the leather-bound books labeled ``Scribbler`` and leaf through the yellowed pages.
Dark nervous lines captured weary women slumped in subway seats, men rushing about and clutching their briefcases. A mere curve, sketched on the sly, would become a face. ``When my friends would ask me, `When did you do this?` I would realize it was 20 years ago,`` said Sharp, 71.
Taking an early retirement, he knew he had to make up for lost time. Stan Sharp put down his drafting instruments, picked up his paintbox and, after a brief stay in Connecticut, headed for Key West.

i spent my day cleaning our bedroom, which meant hours of folding laundry, which i usually do with the television as my companion. jenny craig told me multiple times that i needed to eat their food so i could lose 20 pounds. a size 6 actress told me that "big girls wear shapers under everything". fuck you..the only time i wore a shaper was the day i got married, and i hated every second of it.
there's the television, the magazines while i'm waiting to buy my groceries, the billboards on the side of the highway, the people in my life offering to send me to weight watchers.
and all their voices seem so much louder than the one in my head.
i weave in and out of self confidence.
some days i feel untouchable. like nothing can bring me down off this high i've recently found. the high where i love the chub in my armpits, the cellulite on my thighs, and even my belly.
others i avoid looking in the mirror all together. i catch a picture of me that was taken when i didn't know it and am disgusted with what i see. i hate it all, right down to the weight i've gained in my hands and face.
and it's always the same, whether i weigh 160 pounds or 260. i wonder if i'll ever be comfortable in my own body. and why i can't find that place where i love myself enough to care.
and the worst part is that every woman, and probably even most men, who are reading this are nodding their head thinking things like "this is exactly how i feel".
it's like we're trained early on that we're not worth much outside of what other people see when they glance our way. they probably look at me and think "she'd be pretty if she weren't so fat" or "why do fat girls think they can wear short shorts?".
and in doing so they fail to ever know the real me. and if they did they'd know that i happen to be talented, funny at times, have a decent sense of humor, enjoy good music just as much as i enjoy good food, love going for walks, adore the ocean, and a good book..among other things that make me wonderful.
and none of this really even matters because those other voices will always be there. i just need to learn to employ the selective hearing skills being a mother has offered me.
i need to develop my own opinions of myself and quit relying on what others think. and i need to learn to love myself enough to take care of myself.
late night cake eating to drown my sorrows doesn't make me feel better, even if it does give me the brilliant idea of forcing siri to call me "the goddess of cake". nothing feels better than a long walk or maybe even a jog. i've been dying to try yoga but am terrified that i'll fail miserably. i adore hooping but can't force myself to go outside and play.
i'm worth it. we all are. and i want my children to grow up with the confidence to love themselves..know themselves..and know better than to listen to the other voices.

A ball maintenance log to track your equipment and an instruction guide on how to use the Surface Master™ to get the desired results.
It worked great changing the cover stork on my Lock and Hammer. Love the Clean and Dull it had both balls working great and if they were just out of the box from the factory.
Great for at the lanes quick surface adjustment. For weekly home maintenance of cleaning, and surface mods or touch ups as well. Polishing w/ elec drill & bonnet is not as good as a ball spinner is. Can't really get the burn in required for hi-gloss. Can it do a full/deep resurface? NO - Can it replace a ball spinner? NO - Can it modify a surface quicker than by hand? YES The rotating ball cup is really good, so much better than any standard ball cup out there. The hand sander is especially useful for applying even/contoured pressure even w/ a ball spinner! i.e. - no flatspots. Great item that is portable & fits in the bag - try that w/ ball spinner!
ball spinner is nice for cleaning your ball after bowling. i didnt find as much value in the cover sander/polisher versus using my hands
Thanks for asking your question! Once approved by our staff it will be posted here for others to answer. If you'd like to receive answers to your question via email enter your email address below.
Due to the time it takes to produce the Master Surface Master Package ball it will ship in immediately. We cannot ship this ball outside the United States.

Rome: Total War arrives on iPad this week
Good news, mobile gamers; on Thursday, November 10th, you'll be able Rome if you want to, Rome around the world when Creative Assembly and Feral Interactive release Rome: Total War for iPad.
The classic strategy game of real-time warfare has been optimized for tablets, utilizing an "… intuitive touch-screen interface to accurately replicate the desktop game's mouse and keyboard controls." We'll have to see how that works, as the Total War games are nothing if not complicated. But before you start to fear the games has been "dumbed down" for iOS, consider that the mobile version is not compatible with iPhone, so there's at least enough detail to warrant the larger screen.
Rome: Total War will also boast upgraded, high-resolution Retina graphics that will help bring the 3D battlefield to life with thousands of units.
And if you want further proof that Creative Assembly and Feral Interactive know what they're doing, take note that Rome: Total War will cost $9.99. That's right, you'll pay for the game, and you'll get the game. Before you do, though, take note of the requirements. Rome: Total War will work on a first iPad Air or newer, an iPad mini 2 or newer, or any iPad Pro, but it will also require just under 4GB of free space to install. If you're still rocking a 16GB model, you'd better wrap up whatever else you're playing and get to deleting.
For more information on Rome: Total War for iPad, visit www.feralinteractive.com.

Ignacio Spiousas (Armony Lab) will present the article titled « Distinct Computational Principles Govern Multisensory Integration in Primary Sensory and Association Cortices ».
Rohe and Noppeney show that multisensory interactions are pervasive but governed by distinct computational principles across the cortical hierarchy. Critically, only parietal cortices integrated signals weighted by their bottom-up sensory reliabilities and top-down task relevance into multisensory spatial priority maps.

330 year old drinkable wine for sale!
The rare bottles, 14 in all, were found in a 17-century shipwreck. The shipwreck is laying in international waters at about 50 meters depth. The small amount of bottles were located in a braided basket, embedded in straw and completely covered by a thick layer of sediment. The wine has therefore been protected from the surrounding elements, resting on the seabed at a low temperature for centuries.
It is a "once in a lifetime opportunity" for any collector of vintage wines, to have one of these very exclusive, and super old wines, in the wine cellar.

The last baseball season I had fairly serious arm trouble and I could not pitch for a lot of the season and when I did it hurt after. This was my second year on the big diamond and I started to get some serious velocity on my pitches. Last year I was 14 and now I am 15 and playing my first year of high school ball. I didn't want to deal with the arm trouble again so this year I decided to start fairly early and enrolled in an arm care program to hopefully get into good shape and avoid any arm pain. I started the program 2 weeks ago and I had played minimal catch before that. I can already feel some pain in my elbow and other places in my arm just like last year. Now I have 2 questions. How can I fix this for this season, and what can I do next season to be prepared for the throwing and have no arm pain?
Help! I need help with my arm!
In the years 2015 and 2016, how many months during each year did you pitch?
What do you mean? I pitched when my arm felt up to it during the season and into summer ball so probably around March or April to July or June. I only pitched a few games in that time however because of the arm pain. Probably around 2-3 in the regular season and 3-5 during summer ball.
Ages 13 through 15 can be a very awkward time for a young man. Sometimes the saying …" all thumbs and feet…" usually accompanies this age groups description. Basically, you're probably experiencing some coordination problems, and all this is a natural part of growing up.
On the other hand, pain is not a feeling to ignore, nor is it a natural part of youth baseball in any manner shape or form. So, if you're determined to pitch, I would strongly recommend a pitching coach who has the experience of dealing with pitchers who have gone through some sort of rehab program. In fact, a pitching coach who has been part of rehab group or team, bringing pitchers back into the fold. These men and women know the process of dealing with a certain amount of discomfort -NOT PAIN - and they understand the process of assessing the methods and mythology of why your experiencing what you're going through.
As an alternative suggestion, and please don't take this personally, some players are not cut out to be pitchers. Whether it be the body's lack of continuity to sustain the demands, the overall physical makeup, or some other factor or combination of factors.
Your physical and mental demeanor is not something that I'm privileged to, so I would suggest a one-on-meeting with a pitching coach who can size up your particular situation and give you an honest assessment of what's-what. Also, don't forget to include your parents and any other family member who can be supportive of you.

In an interview with this publication prior to her performance with legendary drummer Han Bennink, violinist Mary Oliver said that she was certain about one thing: "[the audience] will have a good time, I'm fairly confident about that." And on Wednesday, January 22 as part of CMA Concerts at Transformer Station, Oliver and Bennink, delivered on that promise.
Oliver and Bennink, who performed under the name duo ICP (Instant Composers Project) are two of the leading performers in the worlds of new music, free improvisation and avant-garde jazz. Born in Zaandam, Netherlands in 1942, Han Bennink is universally admired for his musical abilities that span the entire spectrum of jazz. In 1967 Bennink co-founded ICP along with Dutch pianist Misha Mengelberg. La Jolla, California native Mary Oliver has received acclaim for her premieres of works by composers such as John Cage, Richard Barrett, Brian Ferneyhough, and Iannis Xenakis. A gifted improviser, Oliver has been described as "a rarity in the ranks of first-rate classical interpreters."
From the beginning Oliver and Bennink had the sizable crowd eating out of their hands. When Bennink dropped the cymbals on the floor, was that…? No, I think it was intended. Pushing the chair across the floor, hitting the drum sticks inside his mouth, Bennink was like the child trying to get the attention of Oliver, the adult, who was improvising on the violin. Then nothing. Silence. Was it over? "We were just tuning the room," Bennink said with a grin.
For slightly over 50 minutes the performers time and again exhibited their outstanding musicianship in composed, improvised and partially composed works by Mengelberg, Oliver, Herbie Nichols, Duke Ellington and Steve Lacey. Mengelberg's Habanera consists of fairly traditional writing for the violin whilst Bennink produced not-so-often-heard sounds by putting his foot on top of the snare drum and ending the piece with a very traditional marching band riff on the snare.
Herbie Nichols's Change of Season brought out a more subtle side of duo ICP. Oliver, now playing viola, produced beautifully voiced chords while Bennink whistled. The work also gave Oliver the opportunity to show off her prowess for extended techniques.
By the concert's conclusion, Bennink had pretty much struck anything in the room that could be struck in order to produce a sound. He also offered up a sizable portion of Dutch humor. Contrast that to Oliver's more quiet way of speaking and commanding technique coupled with classy musical sensibilities, and this was a concert for the memory bank.

By making tokenization available on each other's digital wallets, Visa and Mastercard are addressing the security concerns of merchants who are happy to accept both brands but nervous about how their wallets can be misused.
Visa and Mastercard on Thursday morning announced an agreement that allows Visa to request tokenized Mastercard payment credentials from Mastercard for provisioning into Visa Checkout, and Mastercard to request credentials from Visa for provisioning into Masterpass.
Though the card networks have long allowed consumers to enroll with rival products, there wasn't an easy way to access those cards' card-not-present protections.
"Merchants have said it's great to provide tokenization, but have asked why the tokens are for just Visa cards and not for both card brands," said Vish Shastry, a vice president on the digital products team at Visa.
Visa Checkout debuted in 2014, designed to be a newer and more user-friendly replacement for the V.me wallet. The card brand has since entered into deals with Bank of America and other issuers to streamline enrollment. The story is similar for Masterpass, which debuted in 2013 and has also incrementally made usage easier, such as tying the Masterpass directly to bank digital wallets, a move that's proven successful in lifting adoption.
The deal is designed to ensure that each network's wallets can stay open to other card brands while adding tokens in place of real card numbers. Previously, each network's digital wallet accepted cards from the other network, but used the consumer's account number instead of the protective token.
"Banks can offer a wallet that supports all use cases in a way that's secure and has two different brands for the cardholder," said James Anderson, executive vice president of digital payment products for Mastercard. "This can help improve the quality of transactions and of the wallet."
The collaboration addresses the mainstreaming of e-commerce. This fall's holiday shopping season has already smashed records for digital payments — and for e-commerce fraud. There's also the growth of connected devices, the "Internet of things," card-linked offers and apps that make use of digitized card numbers—these can all benefit from more ubiquity in tokens.
The primary focus at the beginning of the cross-token acceptance will be on Visa Checkout's use as an e-commerce tool, which is where the majority of the payments volume is coming, Shastry said. "That's not to say we wouldn't take it in other directions in the future."
The card networks hope the deal will extend the proliferation of secure, digital payments, according to Visa's announcement.
"This is a clear move toward embedded payments," said Richard Crone, a payments consultant.
The winners from this deal are anybody who aggregates or embeds payments into their service, and that is "anybody with half a brain," Crone said, noting the examples include PayPal, Uber, Starbucks, Google, Samsung, Apple and retailer wallets.
"Card numbers aren't just card numbers anymore; they are the primary identifier of the customer in so many schemes. They are the identifier in a card-linked offer for example, or the ID for the authentication for Uber," Crone said. "It's a distribution play for [the networks] and an aggregation play for everybody else."

Mmm, mulled wine! It doesn't get more festive than this traditional holiday cocktail. Just add a fire (and slip on those cozy lounge pants!). For our Friendsgiving a few weeks back, my girlfriend Stephanie whipped up a delicious (or so I heard) batch of mulled wine, and I'm dreaming of making another batch again soon so I can partake this time around. The aroma of the cinnamon and citrus fruits simmering away along with our roasted veggies made the entire house smell like Christmas morning. I love how certain scents and flavors just instantly put you in the spirit. What are some of your favorite holiday sips and scents? Recipe below!
Mulled Wine |
1 bottle of red wine
1/4 cup brandy
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup honey
1 cinnamon stick
6 cloves
2 star anise
1 lemon
1 orange
Juice the lemon and orange. Add everything into a saucepan (or crockpot works too!). Bring to a boil over medium heat then reduce to low and let simmer for 15 minutes.
Serve with warm orange slices
** taste as you go along–Stephanie added more honey and citrus than the recipe calls for and we also let it simmer together for over an hour before serving

Overland Park is replacing one of its oldest residential streets.
Next week, construction workers will begin ripping out asphalt along 91st Street, from U.S. 69 to Antioch, and reconstructing a brand new street in its place. The $4 million project also includes widening sidewalks, updating storm sewers, and constructing a bike and hike trail from Farley to Antioch.
"We've maintained the street to its useful life span," said Kyle Dieckmann, a civil engineer for the city. "Further maintenance simply isn't going to help anymore. If we didn't fix it, there would be potholes and eventually it would become impassible."
Built in 1958, before Overland Park even became a city, 91st Street serves as a collector street. It gains traffic from surrounding neighborhoods, as well as Pawnee Elementary School, Westridge Middle School and Oak Park Mall.
Replacing it is part of the city's Neighborhood Street Reconstruction Program, which was developed more than a decade ago.
"The program is important because we have a big responsibility to maintain the streets and reconstruct them when needed," Dieckmann said. "It's our duty to provide everyone with a good roadway system."
This year, the sole project of the program is 91st Street, because of the cost and immensity. Next year, however, the city will be reconstructing several smaller residential streets in the northern part of the city.
The city typically sends out notifications to affected residents a year in advance, informing them of the upcoming construction. City staff also holds public meetings to discuss each project and answer questions from residents.
For the 91st Street project, public meetings have been very well-attended. After all, Dieckmann pointed out, the construction will affect 150 properties.
Although the roadway will be closed to through traffic during construction, there will be temporary gravel to accommodate neighbors and school buses. There will be detours to 87th Street and 95th Street.
City staff is working with the Shawnee Mission School District to accommodate both schools in the vicinity. The city will not tear up the sidewalk near Pawnee Elementary until summer break, and there will be temporary busing for Westridge Middle School students who normally walk to school and are affected by the construction.
The street is expected to be reconstructed by August, before the start of the new school year. The entire project, including landscaping, is set to be completed by December.

You can run but you can't hide. An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
What a world it would be if we only spoke in clichés.
Is it the kind of world you and I live in?
Do we retreat into beaten-down meadows, like deer who lay where others have already flattened the grass?
There's less work I suppose. And the grass may still be warm.
But it's also kind of like Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
You can enter a home that isn't yours, you can search for a bed that fits just right, but at the end of the day your cover will be blown.
You can run but you can't hide.
After all, you've made your bed, now lie in it.
Perhaps it is such lying that is really the apple.
For picking fruit from someone else's tree has never been a good idea.
Those kind of apples certainly keep the good doctor away.
But I guess we also have to be careful to not over-correct.
We must not out of pride be unwilling to enter where others have already been.
No, that is wisdom. We should go where others have gone before. It just depends on who they were and where they went.
And no matter what, we shouldn't hide within those spaces, pretend that they are our own, and perhaps worst of all, act as if we are the first to ever have entered—delusion of this kind leads us to the belief that we create anything at all.
We don't.
Think of Adam in the Garden. God is busy whipping up the entire universe from out of nothing. Creating and sculpting, adding and adapting, breathing life into His new world. And Adam, well, he's one of the building blocks. Yes, certainly a favorite. A favorite that God does not want to be alone.
And something spectacular takes place:
The LORD God said: It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suited to him. So the LORD God formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds of the air, and he brought them to the man to see what he would call them; whatever the man called each living creature was then its name. The man gave names to all the tame animals, all the birds of the air, and all the wild animals… (Genesis 18-20)
God created, Adam named.
It is simply amazing. And humbling.
What an honor. And what a clear indicator of who is truly in charge.
We create nothing. That's the bad news for those who want to be God.
We do though participate in the ongoing unfolding of God's perfect and eternal world. We even seem to share the leading role. That's the Good News for those who believe.
For our work is not to create. We simply can't. Only God can. And even if we "build" with what is already in existence, if we seemingly "create" something "new" with the building blocks we find already lying around, that "pseudo-creation" still isn't our primary job.
Then what is?
Well, the original disciples of Jesus had a similar wonder:
So they said to him, "What can we do to accomplish the works of God?" Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in the one he sent." (John 6:28-29)
And there's the crux of it, if you will.
Adam, we must remember, when in the supremely honorable position of naming God's creatures was still naked, and he felt "no shame." He hadn't yet eaten what wasn't his. He was not yet hiding "among the trees of the garden." He still believed in the One Who Sends.
Adam was faithful. Adam was original. Adam knew he was God's creation. And Adam was free to roam.
But Adam used his freedom to choose to become a slave.
Adam's fall was a fall into self. A fall into creation, the creation of a great lie, that man creates on the same level as God.
It was a great fall. So steep was the cliff off which he went that no other story could ever bring more meaning to the most hackneyed line: "Once upon a time…"
Adam's fall is a fall into denomination.
A fall into the church of self.
A fall into complete and utter cliché.
And it brought death to the great privilege of cooperating with God, of naming and stewarding on His behalf His created world.
But thanks be to God.
For someone truly original, and creative, finally came round.
He put the apple back up upon the tree and told the snake to take a hike.
His name is Jesus.
He is also called The Son of Man.
But of course we are free to just call Him God.
For about Jesus, nothing is cliché.
It is very clear, there's absolutely no running or hiding when it comes to the Cross.
And when it comes to His love for us, there's no apple that can keep the Divine Physician away.
—Howard Hain

People with disabilities often face unique challenges and obstacles. There are a lot of laws in place that are designed to help ensure that disabled individuals are treated fairly in the workplace and out in the world. Unfortunately, not everyone complies with these laws. When someone with a disability is unfairly discriminated against or when they encounter other legal issues, it is important for them to seek legal representation. Lawyers for people with disabilities can often help them successfully deal with any situations that they may be facing.
The primary role of these lawyers is to ensure that disabled people are being treated fairly and that their civil rights are being protected. They accomplish this through a variety of different methods ranging from advocacy to litigation. The approach that they take depends on the situation that their client is facing.
One of the most common tasks that these lawyers are faced with is helping people qualify for Social Security Disability (SSD) payments. Getting approved for disability can be a challenging process. There is a lot of paperwork that needs to be filled out. Additionally, medical records usually need to be supplied showing that the person is actually disabled.
A lawyer works closely with their client to make sure that all of the paperwork is filled out and filed on time. This includes filling in forms, gathering medical records, and reviewing the application. They can also advise their client on whether or not any other medical tests are necessary to increase their chances of getting their disability application approved.
Once the application is filled out, the lawyer can carefully review it, looking for any errors that may get in the way of getting it approved. As long as everything looks good, they can then submit it on behalf of their client along with any additional documentation or medical records that are deemed necessary to prove the client's case.
If a client is appealing a decision on a disability claim, working with a lawyer is particularly important. A hearing is usually held to hear the arguments for why the claim should have been approved. At this hearing, the lawyer can argue on their client's behalf, presenting evidence that helps solidify the claim so that the client can get the disability benefits that they deserve.
Not all lawyers for people with disabilities are created equal. Some have a lot more experience and expertise than others. If you are getting ready to file a disability claim, it is important to research lawyers in your area thoroughly to find one that will do a great job of representing your interests.
Don't hesitate to meet with several different lawyers and visiting sites like pastoorlaw.com before deciding which one to use. After all, there is a lot at stake. If your application is approved, it can help ensure that you get the money that you need to live your life. If it is denied, your lawyer can help you continue fighting until you are eventually awarded the benefits that you deserve for whatever type of disability you are dealing with.

Hal Leonard Folk Song Arrangements for Classical Guitar (DVD)
Item is available as a recurring order
To automatically re-order this item before you run out, select the recurring order option during checkout.
Guitar virtuoso Frederic Hand teaches exquisite classical guitar arrangements of four widely known and much-beloved American folk songs: "The Water Is Wide," "Wayfaring Stranger," "Black Is the Color of My True Love's Hair," and "We Are Climbing Jacob's Ladder." He shows you how, by using lush chords, rich harmonies and inventive improvisational elements, you can make each one a beautiful and compelling performance piece. Fred teaches full concert arrangements as well as easier alternate versions for novice players who are just getting into this style of music. Learning either (or both) of these will be deeply satisfying for anyone who loves the sound of classical guitar. Fred makes this a complete learning experience by carefully explaining chord extensions and substitutions, harmonic voicings up and down the neck of the guitar and elements of music theory. He shows how to use improvisational techniques and ways to enhance these as well as other songs, so that you can make them truly your own. NOTE: Although most classical guitarists prefer the tone and feel of nylon strings, these pieces can also be played on steel string guitars. Includes music and tab. 80 minutes.

Psaria or Icthyes is the word for fish in the Greek language.
Since ancient times, Greece, as a country surrounded by sea, has based its economy on the marine life and the practice of fishing.
In ancient Greece the ichthys or ichthus (/ˈɪkθəs/), from the Greek ikhthýs, is a symbol consisting of two intersecting arcs, the ends of the right side extending beyond the meeting point so as to resemble the profile of a fish. Now it is known colloquially as the "sign of the fish" or the "Jesus fish".
According to the Greek mythology ichtyes were two large Syrian river fish who rescued Aphrodite and Eros when they were fleeing the monster Typhoeus. Tradition has it though that the two gods disguised themselves as fish to escape the monster. The fish were also credited with assisting the birth of Aphrodite from the sea foam.
In modern Greece fish and marine life are still considered to be a major factor of the economy. The Greeks include fish in their preferable weekly nutrition courses and, at the same time, fish taverns are connected with the Greek way of living.

The commission that released former New York State Senator Guy J. Velella from jail three months into his one-year sentence routinely violated state law in the way it freed inmates, and its new members should review the legality of many of its releases, say New York City investigators. The New York Times says the city's Department of Investigation described the Local Conditional Release Commission as a slipshod, ill-informed panel that failed to maintain basic records. The investigators said that the four-memer panel acted too soon after it had rejected his first application to get out of jail. Velella hired the husband of a panel member as a legal consultant to advise him on the panel's procedures.
Very few people in the city, including Mayor Michael Bloomberg, had heard of the release commission before it freed Velella. Such panels were created under a state law enacted in 1989 authorizing them to release individual prisoners to help with prison overcrowding. The need for such releases shrank as prison populations declined. Velella and his co-defendants were 3 of just 13 people released by the New York City panel in the past six years.

And it appears we all somehow survived last week, so um………I think we need something sweet to celebrate, right?
I'm not gonna lie, I think I reached my limit of reading/hearing people going at each other over politics all week long. I mean, the fact is that what happened happened and that's how it is, the end. Come on, is it really worth getting so upset at each other now? Can't we all just chill? Sorry, just wanted to announce the elephant that I felt was in the room so I could get rid of it. I'm all good now……..HEY, how do you feel about apples and cinnamon stuffed inside cookie bars????
Haha, but for reals, what do you think? I have all types in my gang when it comes to apple desserts; the ones that like anything and everything, the ones that only like cooked apples but hate cinnamon, the ones that claim to be allergic to all fruits, those that only like raw apples, and those that refuse to have an opinion at all. With 14 people living here in casa craziness it's becoming easier and easier to get rid of all my extras as you could probably have guessed. Oh, and I mentioned this last week, but in case you missed it, we've got company this week. Yep, my sister's in-laws (aka bro-in-law's mom and dad) are visiting so make that 16 personas en casa at the moment.
On that line of thought, I have to tell you guys, I've been so surprised to find that being this busy has been having the opposite effect on me from what I'd have guessed. What I mean is that you'd probably think having way less time would cause me to be more stressed out or scattered than usual, but surprisingly it hasn't.
I'm actually finding that having some added pressure is helping me focus on things while not leaving me any time to sweat the small stuff. Pretty awesome right? I've always loved staying busy but I never realized that I was the type to improve under pressure like this. Hey, but you definitely won't hear me complaining about, I'm loving it!
Anyway, so these cookie bars were inspired by one of my fam's favorites, my s'mores cookie bars! Oh my goodness, and as I'm typing this I just realized that I've never shared that recipe, what am I doing with my life guys??? (I'll definitely share it soon though.? )
Ok, but back to the apple bars, they are simply a combination of the most amazingly soft and delicious cookie base and a classic cinnamon apple filling like what you fill a pie with. Of course, then I couldn't resist the urge to drizzle them with something extra (I've got issues) so I added a little bit of icing to dress them up. If you want you could skip that part I guess (#boringpeopleoftheworldunite), but I'm a frosting fanatic so I seriously cannot.
Alrighty, now that I've explained why you have to make these I'm gonna shut up so you can. Oooohhh, and don't forget to sip something cozy and hot with them like a chai latte or some spiced cider, yum!!!! Enjoy, you guys!
- 4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced into small cubes
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3/4 cup(1 1/2 sticks) butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, finely ground
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 C) and grease an 8x8 or 9x11 inch pan with butter or oil. Melt the 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium high heat and add your apples. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring often, until the apples are starting to get soft and darken. Combine the salt, sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch in a small bowl and mix to combine, then add to the pan along with the vinegar. Continue cooking for about 2 minutes longer until, stirring constantly, until the sugar starts to melt and caramelize. Remove pan from heat and set aside until needed.
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar together until creamed. Add egg, baking powder, salt, and vanilla and beat until mixed. Add the flour and graham crumbs and beat until well combined.
- Spread about 1/2 of the dough in the baking dish and bake for about 8 - 10 minutes until the top starts just barely browning. Remove from oven and scrape out your pan of apple mixture over the dough. Spread to even out then crumble the remaining 1/2 of the dough over top and return to the oven for 15 to 17 minutes until the top is starting to turn golden brown. Remove pan from oven and let cool for at least 20 minutes before cutting.
- Whisk the melted butter, milk, vanilla, and salt in a small bowl. Add the powdered sugar and stir gently until you have a smooth icing. Use a fork or fine tipped pastry bag to drizzle over the bars after you cut them.

Harry Judd finds pregnant women "very attractive".
The McBusted drummer and Izzy Judd are expecting their first child together and the musician is looking forward to seeing his spouse's body change because he thinks expectant ladies are beautiful.
Speaking to the Metro newspaper, he said: "I understand that it's hard for women but I find pregnant women very attractive - I think it's amazing. Some women can feel quite self-conscious but I'm one of these guys that finds it really attractive, so bring on the pregnant look!"
Former Escala violinist Izzy is due to give birth in January and Harry admits he has been telling her to eat whatever she likes to ensure she and their baby are healthy and happy.
He added: "I don't think Izzy is too worried about gaining weight - I'm certainly not. I'm encouraging her to eat when she wants. The most important thing is keeping her safe and having a nice healthy baby and then we'll go from there."
Although they are very excited to meet their baby, Harry and Izzy - who conceived their child with the aid of fertility treatment - are not going to find out the tot's gender because they want it to be a surprise, but they accept it's going to disrupt their preparations for the child's arrival.
The 29-year-old sticksman said: "We're not finding out the sex ... We haven't even started work on our new house yet, we're not prepared at all. But by the time we're decorating , the baby will have arrived, so we'll know what to do."

A party without cake is just a meeting – Julia Child
I've been craving wings off late and I have found the perfect place to tend to those cravings – Original Wings and Rings. This sports resto bar is situated 5 mins walking distance from Financial Center metro station. Situated in Liberty House in DIFC, concourse level, they provide valet parking but at a fee.
OW&R is divided in two, smoking and nonsmoking eating area but it does not make any sense as there is no such partition and being a non smoker you might as well eat at the smoking area.. either ways you'll be passively smoking 😛
I love the interiors with comfy seats including normal table and chairs, high chairs and even sofas. There was a small corner for the band to play and the entire place was filled with televisions playing the game.
We got there just in time for their HAPPY HOURS; Which ends at 8pm (last order at 7:45) The person waiting on us was kind enough to come up to us and inform us that we could quickly order from the happy hour as the clock was clicking.
You can check their website for different offers almost everyday apart from the happy hours – ORIGINAL WINGS AND RINGS WEBSITE.
Before ordering, we were given a sampler with flavours and a plate of fries so that we could choose from those them and keep aside our favourites. I do wanna try Atomic – the hottest flavour next time!
What we had;
For the happy hours, we could buy the wings at the price of AED 3.99 ONLY! (minimum of 4 wings) and that is so amazing. We ended up buying 8 pieces of Parmesan cheese wings (boneless) and 10 pieces of BBQ wings (traditional). They have a few appetizers which you can choose from and are half priced. For appetizers we had the sloppy fries (Tex Mex Chilli on top)
Sloppy fries [AED39] – AED18 during happy hours. These fries were so basic, I'm not even kidding. As I don't eat Chilli, they bought it on the side for my friends. They were just normal fries with tons of cheese – which I am not a fan of, and Tex Mex Chilli. I was famished, so I had just 2 or 3 fries. [1.5 / 5]
Parmesan cheese wings [AED65]: When you get any wings made boneless, you get 8 wings for the price of AED65 which I think is INSANE. Anyways, the flavour was spot on! Even though I am not a big fan of cheese, I absolutely LOVED this flavour on my wings. The chicken wings however was kind of chewy.. not chewy all the way but a little hard, yes. I loved it as a whole though. [4.1 / 5]
BBQ chicken wings [AED65]: The traditional wings you get 10 pieces at the price of AED65. You will LOVE these wings if you LOVE BBQ sauce. Its sweet and tangy.. exactly what I LOVE. These wings were cooked well, were juicy and the sauce was covered in each wing properly [4.8 / 5]
The wings came along side fries (additional AED8 for curly fries). We were also given medium spicy sauce on the side – which didn't make me sweat one bit.
loved; BBQ wings
not so much; Sloppy fries
All in all, I loved the ambience, the service and the food a lot. If not for the sloppy fries, I would have rated this place a 4.5. Cannot wait to go to OW&R again and try something new! Will update this review SOON 😀
Reach them: 04 3596900 (advised to make reservations)
Find them: Liberty House, Level 'C', DIFC.

Does quantum cryptology offer hack-proof security?
Credit: Dan Hixson/University of Utah College of Engineering
Untangling hyper-entangled twisted light.
Photons in the form of a bi-photon frequency comb.
Quantum-powered random numbers generated by an entropy engine that exploits quantum mechanics.
Quantum cryptology may be the hottest topic in security these days, but it sure reads like a lot of sci-fi jargon. But what does it mean?
Bruce Potter, CTO of the KEYW Corporation, defined it to a room full of privacy professionals this past July at the Black Hat conference. He explained that with so much concern regarding the quality of our protective encryption capabilities, this is still a complicated and misunderstood process. Quantum cryptology (and its crypto components) is a mind-bending concept that baffles even the most experienced scientists. Those who try to understand what's going on are stymied by the diversity, age and code complexity of the various software components. And, while cryptographic core algorithms have been well-studied, other components in enterprise cryptosystems are less understood. It's no wonder this field of science incites so much controversy.
According to Toshiba, it means a stable, unbreakable encryption method that uses photons (or light particles) transferred through a custom-made, fiber-optic cable that's completely independent of the Internet. And, it's hack-proof because any attempts to eavesdrop (intercept, copy, wiretap, etc.) such a transmission alters the quantum state – that is, scrambles the encoded data – and is immediately detectable.
Hirokazu Tsukimoto, a spokesman at Toshiba, says quantum cryptographic communication uses quantum physics to ensure that genomic data encrypted with digital keys remains undisclosed. Bits are transmitted by individual photons, which cannot be manipulated without leaving remnants of the intrusion. "Toshiba has developed the world's fastest quantum key distribution prototype based on a self-differencing circuit for single photon detection," says Tsukimoto. "Field trials begin this month to evaluate the prototype for commercial use in five years. Further development includes large-scale quantum cryptography networks."
Meanwhile, however, other quantum cryptographic research is sprouting up in universities and corporations all over the planet. UCLA, MIT, Columbia, Duke, University of Maryland (UM), University of Rochester (UR), University of Glasgow (UG), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), and Whitewood Encryption Systems (WES), to list some of the notable ones, are all working frantically to improve, perfect and expedite this technology.
UCLA's engineering research team has discovered that photon pairs can be divided, then entangled into multiple dimensions by using the photons' energy and spin properties. Each additional dimension doubles the photon's data capacity, which means photon pairs can hold 32 times more data than they could using the standard quantum encoding methods.

Japan Railway & Transport Review No. 4 (Inside front cover & inside back cover)
|The Series 209 will replace the Series 103 on the Keihin-Tohoku Line. Simplified body and VVVF-controlled induction motors make the trainset cheaper to build and maintain, but lower price does not necessarily mean less comfort — all cars have air conditioning, and heat-absorbing windows, etc.

|The Series E 217, a longer-distance version of the 209 above, is replacing the Series 113 on the Yokosuka and Sobu Lines.

|Comfortable Long-Distance Commuting
|The Series 205 is a fully-reserved-seat service of 10 double-decker cars running on the Tokaido narrow-gauge line, providing extra comfort at higher price for long-distance commuters.

The Series E1, nicknamed MAX, is designed to carry longdistance commuters on the Tohoku Shinkansen, and Joetsu Shinkansen.
The 12 double-decker cars have both reserved and unreserved seats with improved access for disabled passengers.
