Perfection comes in many forms. Shouldn't something perfectly awful be celebrated as much as something perfectly beautiful? Absence of talent can be just as monumental as its presence! So here's to the Mona Lisa of What the Fuck:
Once the initial spasms of laughter subsided, it occurred to me how closely the song echoes patriotic praise of Israel. In the mythologies of both Israel and Saudi Arabia, "no office were in desert no park were in desert no roads were in desert no cars were in desert" until the respective country turned things around. It's always interesting to see the similarities in the ideologies of sworn enemies.
Favorite line, because it's both poignant and hilarious: "students were zero now they are the million, hospitals were zero now they are the hundred"

Gasket Replacement Guide
Installation guide for replacing your gasket.
Depending on the amount of cooking you do, you will need to replace your gaskets every few years. Here is a step-by-step guide for installing new gaskets. Click on any of the photos below for an expanded view. Average installation time is 1 hour.
Tools Needed:
- Bristle Brush
- Paint Scraper
- Tape Measure
- Tape
- Scissors
- Box Cutter
- Solvent
- Gasket Kit
- Stripper Attachment
- Electric Drill
- Shop Vacuum
- Cloth Rag
1. Remove Old Gasket Material
Use a box cutter to make a cross cut on the old gasket material. Pull off the loose material by hand. Alternately, you may be able to pull an area up without cutting the gasket. Remove as much gasket material as possible from the base and dome edges.
2. Remove Remaining Gasket and Adhesive
Use a paint scraper with enough pressure to scrape around the edges of the base and dome. Remove as much of the remaining gasket material and adhesive as possible.
Use care not to press too hard or at too steep an angle to avoid chipping or removing the ceramic glaze.
3. Additional Removal (Optional)
To remove more of the material or to avoid using a paint scraper, use a 3M Paint & Rust Stripper (model 3M 7772ES) attachment on an electric drill. Use the highest speed with light pressure.
4. Brush the Base and Dome
After a few years of cooking, a sooty substance called creosote will build up on the interior of the base and dome. Over time it can become thick enough to flake off onto your food.
Use a soft bristle brush on the interior of the base and dome to remove excess creosote and let it fall into the bottom of the base.
5. Clean the Edges with Solvent
Apply solvent to a clean cloth and wipe the edges of the base and dome. This will remove any residual material and dust and provide a clean dry surface to apply the new gaskets.
6. Vacuum the Base
Remove any loose material in the base with a shop vacuum. Reinsert the fire box, fire grate and fire ring.
7. Cut the new Gasket Material
The ClassicJoe Gasket Replacement Kit includes 14' of material. Use a tape measure and scissors to cut a 2' length for the neck of dome and two 6' pieces for the base and dome.
8. Mark the Center of the Material
Place a small piece of tape at the center of the two 6' pieces of the new gasket material. This will help in determining the amount of material left when applying them to the base and dome.
9. Replace the Gasket Material on the Neck
Remove the old material by hand. It is OK to leave some of the previous material on the neck. Use the previous steps if desired to remove the old material. Apply the 2' piece of material around the center of the neck and cut, making sure the two ends are flush to each other. This will ensure that the top vent is sealed when cooking or shutting down the grill. Place the top vent on the neck and press down firmly to make sure it fits snuggly.
10. How to Apply the New Gaskets
Remove 6-8" of the white backing material. Facing the grill, start the new material on the base at the 12:00 position. Use the inner edge as a guide to ensure that the new material is flush to the interior.
11. Apply New Gasket Material to the Base
Apply light tension to the gasket and pull away the backing material as needed. Apply the new material around the diameter of the base. The blue tape indicates that there is enough material to cover the diameter. If the tape is located earlier than the 6:00 position, check that there is enough material to complete the base by laying the remaining material around the base edge. If not, gently lift off the material and reapply.
12. Cut Gasket Material
Use a box cutter to remove excess gasket material, so the ends meet flush and create a seamless gasket. Overlapping the material or having a gap will create a leak, which will allow heat to escape and cause that area of the gasket to fail quickly. A gap will allow air to enter, which may reduce the ability to maintain low temperatures and cause longer cooling periods.
13. Apply the Gasket Material to the Dome
Use steps 10-12 to apply the new gasket material to the dome. Use the palm of your hand and press down firmly as you work around both of the gaskets. This will ensure that the adhesive backing is mated to the ceramic edges.
14. If a Gap Appears After Applying
It is not uncommon for a slight gap (shown in photo) to appear at the front of the grill after the new gasket material has been applied. The gasket material is thick and it will compress and form a seal after heating the grill.
15. Setting the New Gaskets
Place half the amount of charcoal normally used for cooking (about 1lb or .5kg). Light the charcoal and close the dome after 5 minutes with the draft door and top vent fully open.
16. Heating and Cooling the Grill
Allow the temperature to reach 350°F (175°C), then fully close the draft door and top vent. Press down firmly on the handle a few times to make sure the gaskets mate properly. Do not open the grill until it has completely cooled down. This will allow the adhesive backing on the gasket material to set and bond to the ceramics. A 12 hour period is best. Opening the grill may cause the gasket material to move out of position.
Your Grill is Ready for Cooking
The new gaskets are now set and bonded.
1. When cooking, use a damp cloth to wipe off any liquids (especially sauces) that drip onto the gaskets. Failure to do so, may cause the gaskets to bond and pull apart if allowed to dry.
2. Avoid flashbacks to extend the life of your gaskets. Learn more about flashbacks on page 18 of the ClassicJoe Owners Manual.

International Taxation – Int. Transactions, Profit Shifting, ALP ComputationAtul Khurana
Hello readers, hope you have read the previous parts in which we had covered the basics of international taxation laws and the concept of associated & deemed associated enterprises.
Let's proceed further…..
International Transaction
An international transaction means:
- a transaction between two or more associated enterprises, either or both of whom are nonresidents; and
- transaction in the nature of:
- sale/ purchase/ lease of tangible property; or
- sale/ purchase/ lease of intangible property; or
- provision of services; or
- lending/borrowing money; or
- any other transaction having a bearing on profits, income, losses or assets of such enterprises; or
- mutual agreement or arrangement between two or more associated enterprise for the allocation or apportionment of, or any contribution to, any cost or expense incurred or to be incurred in connection with a benefit, service or facility provided or to be provided to any one or more of such enterprises.
Deemed International Transaction :
Where, in respect of a transaction entered into by an enterprise with a person other than an associated enterprise (hereinafter referred to as "other person"),
- there exists a prior agreement in relation to the relevant transaction between the other person and the associated enterprise or,
- where the terms of the relevant transaction are determined in substance between such other person and the associated enterprise; and
- Either the enterprise or the associated enterprise or both of them are non-residents,
then such transaction entered into between the enterprise and the other person shall be deemed to be an international transaction entered into between two associated enterprises, whether or not such other person is a non-resident.
Example: If A Ltd., an Indian company, has entered into an agreement for sale of mobiles to Mr. B, an unrelated party, on 1/6/2017 and Mr. B has entered into an agreement for sale of product mobiles with C Inc., a non-resident entity, which is a specified foreign company in relation to A Ltd. (Means A Ltd. holds 26% or more in the nominal value of the equity share capital of C Inc), on 30/5/2017, then, the transaction between A Ltd. and Mr. B shall be deemed to be an international transaction entered into between two associated enterprises, irrespective of whether or not Mr. B is a nonresident.
Because ultimately A Ltd is selling to C Ltd (Associate co. of A ltd) indirectly via B Ltd.
Meaning of Transaction:
I know you are pretty much aware about the meaning of transaction but when it comes to a definition which is a part of the Act then the scope of a particular term increases many folds.
So let us see what is a transaction as per the Act:
As per section 92F(v) of the Act, "transaction" includes an arrangement, understanding or action in concert –
- whether or not such arrangement, understanding or action is formal or in writing; or
- whether or not such arrangement, understanding or action is intended to be enforceable by legal proceeding.
Section 92F(v) provides an inclusive definition of the term "transaction". Based on the reading of the section, it is evident that it is not necessary that for a transaction undertaken between two enterprises there needs to be a formal written agreement between them. It is only relevant whether a transaction has been entered into in substance. The section also negates the requirement as to the legal enforceability of agreement or understanding.
Profit Shifting Transactions:
Here comes the interesting and important part i.e. the shifting of profits from
- Profit making entity to loss making entities or,
- Domestic Tariff Area (DTA) to Tax Holiday Unit
See the following pictures (Example 1 & Example 2) and you will understand the whole scenario.
I Hope that you have got the whole scenario in your mind. This is how the MNC's evades the tax.
Till now we have talked about the ALP, International transactions and associated enterprises. Now let's understand how to calculate ALP for a particular transaction or entity.
Section 92C – Computation of ALP:
Income Tax Act, 1961 prescribes total 5 + 1 methods for the computation. Yes, Its 5 + 1 but not 6. See how…
- Comparable uncontrolled price method;
- Resale price method;
- Cost plus method;
- Profit split method;
- Transactional net margin method;
- such other method as may be prescribed by the Board
So the 6th method is not known to anyone. That's why I do not count it in methods but also we cannot ignore it as we can't go beyond the Act.
I am giving you the brief idea of the above methods, not detaailed because whenever there will be a need to practically apply these methods, the only thing will be required is your ability to judge that which method will be more appropriate in that case, rest all will be the calculations part.
Method 1: Comparable Uncontrolled Price (CUP) method:
A comparable uncontrolled price is the price agreed between unrelated parties for the transaction of goods or services under similar circumstances.
The comparable uncontrolled price method requires a high degree of comparability of products, services and functions and such comparability can be improved by carrying out necessary reasonable adjustments, in respect of differences arising on account of various factors such as quality of the product or service, contractual terms, credit terms, transport terms, level of the market (i.e. wholesale, retail, etc.), geographic market in which the transaction takes place, etc.
For Example: Father Ltd (US) sold 50 mobiles to Son Ltd and Stranger Ltd at the following prices:
Son Ltd (Subsidiary in India): 2500 per mobile
Stranger Ltd (Unrelated party in India): 2000 per mobile including warranty for 3 months.
The cost of 1 month warranty period generally charged by Father Ltd is Rs. 100
So, it shows that transactions with Son Ltd are not at ALP. Therefore, we have to calculate the ALP for Son Ltd.
Father Ltd, the foreign company and Son Ltd., the Indian company are associated enterprises since Father Ltd. is the holding company of Son Ltd. Father Ltd. sells computer mobiles to Son Ltd. for sale in India. Father Ltd. also sells identical mobiles to Stranger Ltd., which is not an associated enterprise. The price charged by Father Ltd. for a similar product transferred in comparable uncontrolled transaction is, therefore, identifiable. Therefore, Comparable Uncontrolled Price (CUP) method for determining arm's length price can be applied.
For sale of mobiles by Stranger Ltd., Father Ltd. is responsible for warranty for 3 months. The price charged by Father Ltd. to Stranger Ltd. includes the charge for warranty for 3 months. Therefore, this price needs to be adjusted and Hence ALP is as follows:
Sale price charged by Father Ltd. to Stranger Ltd = Rs. 2000
(Less) Cost of warranty included for 3 months (100*3) = Rs. 300
Arm's Length Price (2000-300) = Rs. 1700
Actual price paid by Son Ltd. (given) = Rs. 2500
Difference in price (2500-1700) = Rs. 800
Total mobiles sold = 50 sets
Therefore, addition required to be made in the computation of total income of Son Ltd. = 800*5 = Rs. 4000
No deduction under chapter VI-A would be allowable in respect of the enhanced income of Rs. 4000.
The other methods will be discussed in the next article.

Track Drivers, Host documents, deliver online driver-training & more
The Driver Information Management System makes administration easy through direct integration with our safety learning management system (LMS). This allows for seamless communication with the Training Record Management System and online learning centre!
The system tracks all required driver information including licence number, expiry, and type as well as medical certification and more! By updating this information and entering a licence expiry, automatic email notifications will let drivers, supervisors, and system administrators know about expiring driver's licences 90 days before the expiry date.
Once the Driver Information Management System is all set up, you can upload any required documents, including driver's abstracts, licences, driver history, collision information, annual assessments, traffic infractions, medical certifications, release forms, and vehicle use agreements. The list can be customized according to specific company needs. Files can be uploaded in .pdf, .jpg, .png and even Excel (.xml) and Word (.doc) file formats. Drag and Drop functionality makes this easy!
Uploaded files are accessible online to any system administrator and details can be exported into an Excel spreadsheet, providing a summary of each driver's name, ID, licence number, class, type, expiry, location, risk class, and any other documents loaded into the system.
The Driver Information Management System allows you to track a driver's safety training and certifications as needed. Classroom and online courses can be tracked and compiled as each course is completed, giving you a real-time window into each driver's compliance and permissions. Through the system's central safety course library, you can access leading driver training courses, including Hours of Service, Weights and Dimensions, Daily Trip Inspections, Cargo Securement, WHMIS, and TDG. Over 450 safety training courses are available!

Then, if you go quietly and hide in the shadows downstairs until he quits looking for you, you can sneak up and backstab him. He isn't very hard to kill that way. But that's about it.

He has entered the one-name club. Entered it long ago, in fact.
Che. Bowie. Jagger…
William Shatner, aka Captain James T. Kirk, aka T.J. Hooker, aka Denny Crane (for which he won two Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe) aka the man who gave us a truly epic version of "Mr. Tambourine Man" (and, come on, perhaps THE definitive take on "Rocket Man").
Look, Shatner has an entire encyclopedia devoted to his work, devoted to his philosophy, devoted to his very being. What more can we ask for from our life and career?
He is here in Austin for the Wizard World convention and to do a Q&A before a 35 mm screening of the almighty "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" on Sept. 23 at the Paramount.
Shatner thinks Star Trek II resonates because, really, what is missing? "There's a story of revenge, filled with all kinds of theatricality, and Ricardo Montalban makes a great villain," he says. "It's a good film. You've seen these characters on television, you see them on screen and you feel you know them."
But then, that is in the past. Shatner is a man who keeps himself busy. He's just released a new novel, "Zero-G," written with Jeff Rovin, about, as the book description puts it, "intrepid, 80-year-old FBI deputy director Samuel Lord" whose "space based 'Zero-G' men are in charge of investigating terrorism, crime, corruption, and espionage beyond the Earth's atmosphere" aboard the space station Empyrean.
"I've been talking to astrophysicists on another project, and they think in the same way science-fiction writers do," Shatner says. "It is the same imaginative process. 'Zero-G' is imagining what the FBI will be doing out in law enforcement out in space 50 years from now. That is what science fiction does: It imagines the future, and since nobody knows what the next instant is going to be, then my opinion of 50 years from now or Roddenberry's opinion of 300 years from now is equally valid."
Then again, Shatner has done an incredible amount of stuff over the years, some of which has faded, some of which has resonated. "I did a couple of Twilight Zones that remain popular whenever the show is rerun, and I sort of wonder why," Shatner says. "But, again, it's the story. There's one about a little furry creature on a wing of a plane ("Nightmare at 20,000 Feet") that's played again and again. Why it is one of the more popular ones, I don't know. The fear of flying, maybe? Every so often you do something that touches a universal nerve."
He even had a recent hit with the semi-scripted reality show "Better Late that Never," which teamed him with Henry Winkler, George Foreman, Terry Bradshaw and younger comedian Jeff Dye. "NBC said, how would you like to go to Asia, and of course I said yes. All I knew is that I was going to go to a part of the world that I had longed to go to. … It was all taken care of. All you had to do was show up and be amusing. And these guys together turned out to be hysterical."
And, yes, while Shatner is best known for dramatic (or melodramatic parts) such as Captain Kirk, he considers himself as much a comedian as a dramatic actor (see also Denny Crane). "I'm basically a comic," he says "I did some stand-up in New York at the Gotham Comedy Club, and it was great! In their words, I murdered."
Hey, that's terrific.
"No, I murdered, it's better than terrific."
The show that is perhaps most "near and dear to my heart," as he puts it, is "Shatner's World," a one-man show wherein the man expounds on, well, all of the things. "I was on Broadway with it, I've toured with it, it's the project that has the most of me in it," Shatner says. "It's about saying 'yes' to life. Yes to the things that happen to you. Say yes instead of saying no. Get out there and do something and find something passionate and have an adventure. It's over so quickly that it's ridiculous not to expose yourself."
Ladies and gentlemen … Shatner.

The sky car pictured above is a great machine that keeps more soil of the forests undisturbed by dragging logs through the air.
Long time, no see! Yeah, it's been a rough summer, and I missed writing about some of my projects.
For a couple of months, I've had the opportunity through a friendship to ride along with a log trucker and see what the logging roads are all about. Of course, the clear cuts look no more or less appealing up close and personal, but a 12-hour day starting at 4am showed me what it's like inside of the second-largest industry in the state of Oregon.
Logging ain't what it used to be - it has come a long way through technology and scientific research to be safer for the workers and less disruptive for the environment. Lots of rules that protect wildlife and habitat are in place for private forest owners to follow, and follow they must. This includes leaving a girth of trees around bird nesting sites with special attention to threatened species, a buffer of trees along streams to protect salmon and trout, better road construction to prevent run-off (thereby keeping our municipal water sources cleaner), and a vigorous re-planting schedule to create new forest and leave a few logs and snags (dead trees) in place for wildlife habitat.
One very interesting study performed by ecologists among Canadian Douglas fir trees was noted in the June 2018 issue of National Geographic (Vol 233, No 6), which proved through chemical tracking that older "hub" trees formed symbiotic relationships with fungal threads underground to send and receive stress signals due to environmental cues, such as loss of water, low photosynthesis sugars, or insect infestation. Nearby trees then send over necessary resources to help each other in a network, and this includes trees helping trees of another species! Clear-cutting and removal of the ancient hub trees destroys this connection and makes younger forests more vulnerable to stressors. Need any more proof that life on Earth is so very interconnected and dependent on each other to live in balance to survive?
Loaders pick up logs as though they are toothpicks and stack them strategically onto truck trailers.
Oregon is one of the best places in the world to grow trees due to climate factors. It is also awesomely beautiful. Sadly, we lost a lot of diversity in our forests with the removal of habitat and old growth, stunting chances for native plants to thrive in those areas. This is why I love going to the top of Saddle Mountain… there are so many wildflowers here that have not been disturbed and have the chance to play their symphony of color in progression from spring to summer to fall.
With all of our continued research and progress in heavy machinery design, as well as saving protected areas that will never be logged, I hope that we can keep what treasures we have left while still providing good-paying jobs statewide in the industry.
Being a lover of nature, I chose this project to stare in the face what I knew little about and see it for more of what it really is. Humans are industrious all over the world, and there are a lot of us. More people means need for more resources. However, word has really spread through all means of media about the damage we have done to our one and only planet through all of our industriousness, and our lifestyles and survival are each inextricably linked to the taking of resources… I hope the big guns in charge make better decisions in the future for the greater good of more people and more species than just themselves, including in the Amazon forests and every other struggling area.
C'mon alpha males, be the good guys and not the bullies. We need you.
The unloaders are massive! They grab the entire load of logs off a truck trailer and place them in the lumberyards. I witnessed an epic moment when the fighter jets flew into the frame.
Getting out there and shooting brings knowledge, inspires quests for more answers, and sometimes brings unexpected spectacles that i am lucky enough to capture through my lens. After using a not-so-cute outhouse in the lumberyard, I put myself in place to photograph one of the unloaders and a diamond formation of fighter pilots flew right into my frame and through its jaws. Holy crap, that's what I'm here for. Talk about the joy of my work.

Fort Worth man's kind act repaid with car-jacking
A Fort Worth man's act of kindness Wednesday night turned into an assault and car-jacking, police said.
The incident started at about 11:15 p.m. Wednesday when the 20-year-old man received a call from a woman he knew as "Crystal," who told him that she was stranded at the West Point Pines apartment complex in the 3000 block of Las Vegas Trail, said Lt. Paul Henderson, police spokesman.
The man told the woman he would come pick her up and drive her where she needed to go, Henderson said.
When he arrived at the complex, the man found the woman waiting and she asked him to get out of his 2006 Chevrolet Trail Blazer and give her a hug, Henderson said.
During the hug, the woman began pulling him away from the SUV and the man noticed another man walk up to the vehicle and look inside.
The SUV's owner tried to pull away from the woman, but another man tackled the Good Samaritan and they began to wrestle. The woman got into the driver's side of the SUV along with another woman, Henderson said.
The owner was able to break free and ran to the front of the apartment complex where he found two security guards. While talking with the guards, the Trail Blazer drove past them, occupied by two men and two women, Henderson said.
The guards got into a private vehicle and followed the SUV to another apartment complex on Las Vegas Trail.
The SUV stopped and the four people inside fled, Henderson said. The security guards tried to pursue the four, but could not catch them and subsequently called police.
The SUV's owner was not injured.
"The suspects are still at large however it will not be long before the so called 'friend' of the victim is identified," Henderson said. "He knows her name as "Crystal" but now knows her heart as stone cold..."

"Music Is Everybody's Language" is the theme of this year's Music in our Schools Week (March 7-13), a national effort of the Music Educators National Conference to emphasize the importance of music in the education of schoolchildren.
Affiliated state organizations of menc are now organizing committees for the public-awareness projects of the week.
Some of the committees will seek proclamations in support of music education from school boards and officials in government. Others will promote media coverage of the week's events or schedule school performances by professional musicians.
A folder of printed material from menc includes suggestions for how to observe the week: such as by organizing committees; writing news releases for the press; acquiring air time and writing programs for radio and television stations; and recruiting speakers.
For information, write Music Educators National Conference, 1902 Association Dr., Reston, Va., 22091 or call (703) 860-4000.
The State of Wisconsin will nurture 80 of its artistically talented teen-agers this summer in a program called Artists Studio '83. Between June 26 and July 9 at the camp, each student will study one of five subjects: creative writing, dance, jazz improvisation, theater, or the visual arts.
The state's department of public instruction and the Wisconsin Arts Board are sponsoring Artists Studio, now in the second season of a five-year effort to establish a state summer camp for the arts. They will choose the high-school students, who will participate in the program at this summer's camp site, an environmental center in Poynette.
As "apprentices" of master artists, the students will spend six hours each day on their art form. Their evening hours will include programs in all of the arts.
Applications are due March 1 (for dance, jazz improvisation, and theater) and March 15 (for creative writing and the visual arts). For information, write or call Kyle Berney at the Wisconsin Arts Board, 123 West Washington Ave., Madison, Wis. 53702, (608) 266-9737.
Using museums to "extend" school classrooms is the goal of the Art Enrichment Program, a project of the Austin Independent School District and the Archer M. Huntington Art Gallery of the University of Texas at Austin.
Nearly 400 4th- through 6th-grade students have their classroom lesson on a particular art medium augmented with a field trip to a museum or other site. The students incorporate their experiences on the trip into their own art work during subsequent classes. The area institutions that received grants this year to participate in the program include zoos as well as museums of history, art, natural history, and science.
The project is supported by a federal grant from the Institute of Museum Services and by funding from the Huntington Gallery, the Austin Independent School District, and the Junior League of Austin.--tf

Terrific roar and other sound effects. Remarkably expressive. Dinosaur can right itself when it falls over, a neat trick to see in action. It can do donuts.
Hard for kids to master the controls on the remote, which can lead to a lot of frustration. Gesture-based commands are difficult to execute.
Bottom Line
The Spin Master Zoomer Dino is a hot item this holiday season, but parents should be aware that it can be frustrating to master for younger kids.
"Control him if you can" is the tag line for the Zoomer Dino from Spin Master ($99.99), and it's a fitting one. This remote-controlled toy can be fun to play with in spurts, but if my 8- and 4-year-old testers' reactions are anything to go by, it's difficult, rowdy, and potentially frustrating to play with.
Similar Products
The Zoomer Dinois getting a lot of action this holiday season, thanks to a prominent role in Target's holiday advertising campaign. It's adorable. The design is slick and futuristic. It just looks fun. Based on appearance alone, I can see any parent thinking this would be a great gift idea, and any kid lucky enough to receive this toy would be psyched. But if we learned anything from what happened on Isla Nublar, it's that dinosaurs cannot be controlled by man or child!
Aimed at the 3- to 9-year-old set, the Zoomer Dino measures 6.8 by 16 by 6.8 inches (HWD) and comes with a control pod. The control pod takes three AA batteries, while the Zoomer Dino has a rechargeable 3.7-volt, 450mAh lithium polymer battery. The dinosaur's eyes change color, depending on whatever "mood" it's in. They turn blue when it senses your hand, purple when you're training it, and red when it's mad, which usually happens if you attempt to grab its tail. Instead of feet, it has wheels to move it around.
My two kids each took turns trying to tame this beast. My 8-year-old daughter lost interest pretty quickly when she wasn't able to train the Zoomer Dino the way the instruction booklet suggested. My 4-year-old son was delighted by the robot dinosaur, but after a few tries with the remote, he handed it back to me to control. It took me some time to get used to the controls, and once I did, I had a good time having the beast roar, do donuts, and just tear up the joint. The kids were way more into the Zoomer Dino during testing when an adult was wielding the remote control. That's fine when we are playing together, but left to their own devices, my kids haven't touched it since we've taken out of the box.
There are some wonderful things about the Dino that are a big improvement over last year's Zoomer Dog. Thanks to what Spin Master calls True Balance Technology, the Dino can right itself when it falls over. That's a big help, because it falls over quite a bit. The roar and sound effects are terrific, and the movements are expressive. There are some gesture-based commands Zoomer Dino can learn, and although they are not easy to pull off, when you do nail them, it's satisfying. I also like that this is a rechargeable toy. I found the charge length was just fine, and I love being able to charge electronic toys through a simple USB connection.
I applaud the improvements that Spin Master has made to its robot army. Each year it's getting better and better. This year, Zoomer Dino comes close, but the gesture commands need to be simpler to implement. This toy is best suited to families where the adult will be an active participant playing with it with the kids, or for kids with long attention spans.

The following are some of the best ways to use command prompt. If you are ever in doubt about what exactly a command does, you simply need to type it in at the command prompt, followed by the string /? before you hit Enter . Right away, you get access to the built-in help file that shows you what the command does. Most of these commands work only when you run command prompt in Administrator mode.
The Windows Check disk utility scans your hard drive to locate bad sectors, repairs the file system errors that result and tries to salvage whatever information it can from bad sectors. Sometimes, the errors on a file system or drive are so noticeable that Windows runs chkdsk by itself. It's usually a good idea, though, to preventively run the utility once every few months to make sure that your file system is in good shape. You can also try running it if you notice random errors and stutters while using your computer.
To run the check disk tool, you need to type one of the following strings in the command prompt:
Chksdsk C: /F -- This string lets you check the entire disk specified, find errors and fix them.
Chksdsk C: /R -- This string lets you check an entire disk, locate bad sectors recover information, and mark bad sectors to avoid in the future.
When a Windows system file goes corrupt or goes missing, the OS is usually able to silently detect the problem and make repairs on its own, without user intervention. You never even get to know about it. Sometimes, though, the process fails. This is the problem that the command System file checker is there for. It runs through Windows' inventory of basic system files to look for anomalies and automatically fixes them.
Running System file checker is easy. You simply need to type the following command at the command prompt: sfc /scannow .
The cipher command can be useful when you need to either wipe an entire hard drive clean or clean up parts of it that aren't in use. The command to type into command prompt is: cipher /W:pathname .
If you see that a driver download is available but aren't sure if it's more recent than the one that you have installed, the driverquery command prompt tool is the tool to use. It gives you a full list of all the hardware drivers that you have installed. All you need to do is to type in the driverquery / fo CSV . Right away, you will get a CSV file with a full accounting of the drivers on your computer.

You're doing it wrong: Bananas Foster
In 1951, New Orleans restaurateur Owen Brennan became an innovator in the field of back-scratching when he named a dessert after his buddy Richard Foster from the New Orleans Crime Commission. Bananas Foster became a customer favorite and was Brennan's most-ordered item until the French Quarter institution closed last summer.
The dessert's popularity is easy to understand: It is sweet, boozy, sticky, creamy and flammable. Even if you don't like bananas, you just might make an exception for bananas Foster – an ideal treat for Mother's Day.
There are only two problems with Brennan's recipe, which was actually invented not by Brennan himself but by chef Paul Blangé. The first is that it calls for banana liqueur. Have you ever had banana liqueur? If not, rest assured that it's just as terrible as it sounds. It belongs to the family of cloying flavored brandies that, like Dan Bern's 1997 ballad "Marilyn," I loved when I was a teenager but now have serious qualms about. Unless you're A) preparing to throw a rager while your parents are out of town, B) planning to make a Platanos en Mole Old Fashioned, or C) both of the above, you have no business being in possession of a bottle of banana liqueur.
So what should you use instead? Kill two birds with one stone by using amaretto, which lends bananas Foster a pleasant almond flavor without interfering with its smooth texture, the way chopped nuts do. (Actual nuts have no place in bananas foster, which should be so soft you'd be able to eat it even if you had no teeth.)
The other problem with Brennan's bananas Foster recipe is the way it instructs you to light the rum sauce on fire: "tip the pan slightly (into the fire of the burner) to ignite the rum." Yeah, right – as if anyone's ever done this without spilling hot butterscotch all over their stove, possibly extinguishing their pilot light in the process. Please, do yourself a favor and use a long match or a kitchen lighter to set your bananas Foster aflame. It's much easier than this slight-tipping business, and much less likely to result in a visit from your friendly neighborhood firefighters.

The best movie I've seen in this young year might be California Split, a bit of minor Altman which was much better than I expected. I jibber-jabbed a little about it here.
Why is California Split the finest poker movie of all time? Because it doesn't have any poker. That's not a koan; it's the truth. Portraying games on film is always a tricky business. Every sports movie has to end with The Big Game—there's almost no way around it—and when the outcome of the story must be either "good guys win" or "good guys lose," the screenwriter is in dangerous waters. This is why most sports movies suck, and why the few that transcend their genre are among the greatest films of all time. To wit: Bad News Bears.
(Thankfully, not every portly child athlete is so difficult to like. This kid, for instance, is amazing.)
Gambling movies should have an easier time of it. In gambling, it's not just win or lose. You can win big or small. You can lose a little or you can lose your legs. It's a world of possibilities. And yet, there are almost no good movies about gamblers. The best racetrack movie is The Killing, a Stanley Kubrick casino picture. The best casino movie is either a mob movie (Casino), a heist movie (Ocean's Eleven) or a romantic comedy (The Cooler). And until yesterday, I was convinced that there is not a single good movie about playing cards. Thankfully, Bill Paxton set me straight.
As usual, there's much more over at Bullett. Two wonderful bits I didn't get to:
- Elliott Gould offends a woman at the track, making her so angry that, when he tries to leave down an escalator, she hurls the contents of her purse at him—including a few heavy looking oranges.
- Gould hustles a bunch of teenagers at pick-up basketball, huffing and puffing his way through the first game—to "Sweet Georgia Brown," naturally—before betting them $50 in a game of one-on-one. He shoots eleven straight baskets, and blows the kids' money at the track.
Basically, I can watch Elliott Gould do anything.

Ismail Shammout (1930-2006)
The famous Palestinian artist was born on 2.3.1930 in the town of Lydda in Palestine. At the age of 18 he was among hundreds of thousands of Palestinians that witnessed the tragedy of being forced out of their homes and towns by Jewish forces in order to create Israel.
This dramatic experience was reflected in many of his paintings and influenced his entire career. His hopes and dreams to return one day to his beloved Palestine tied him to the struggle and fight of the Palestinians for their just cause; their own State.
He expressed his emotions, fears, sufferings, hopes and dreams, which are shared by all the Palestinian people, through his paintings.
Ismail Shammout died at the age of 76 after a heart surgery on the 3.7.2006.
His paintings are considered to be some of the most valuable art works in the Arabian world!

The Women's Tour races in to town!
In the UK, cycling is one of the fastest growing sports. This is helped, clearly, by the fact that we are really quite good at it (as a nation, that is; we're not trying to pretend that the Kiosk at the Park team are a finely-tuned racing squad. Yet.) So this week, Bedford really is lucky. We host day two of the Women's Tour 2014. On Thursday, May 8th, the best female cyclists in the world are going to hurtle down Kimbolton Road, along Park Avenue, up DeParys Avenue, down the High Street and the finishing straight is along the Embankment. Here's a taster of the action:
You can download the map of stage two, and find out the best places for watching the action of the Hinkley-Bedford race here.
The racing will be fantastic, as the standard of the competitors will be world-class. If the thought of the Tour coming to town has inspired to get on your bike then get down to the Cycle Marketplace at St Paul's square, organised by Bedford Sustrans, which will run from 10am until 4pm. It will include everything you need to get you up and pedalling, safely: free checks of your bike to make sure it is road-worthy, free NHS health checks, copies of the new walking and cycling map of Bedford and Kempston and details of the free Adult Cycling Confidence Course that Sustrans run.
There will also be representatives from several local cycling clubs and a triathlon club, as well as Bedford's cycling campaign group that you can talk to about their activities, rides and memberships, as well as refurbished bikes for sale.

The subsequent negotiations produced the much-vaunted New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START), which, despite doing little to advance disarmament, provided a political boost to both sides and bolstered the bilateral relationship. However, progress soon stalled, with Russia rejecting US proposals for further reductions, especially of tactical nuclear weapons — an area in which Russia dominates.
Russia, whose nuclear arsenal represents one of the last remaining pillars of its "great power" status, declared that it would agree to further cuts only after the US offered a legally binding agreement that its proposed anti-ballistic missile (ABM) shield in Europe would not be aimed at Russia. In Russia's view — which is, probably, fanciful — such a shield could intercept its intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), thereby posing a strategic threat.
In the hope of breaking the deadlock, Obama signaled his willingness to compromise. However, Putin had little reason to reciprocate, not least because agreement on the issue would have opened the way to further nuclear arms reductions. Moreover, members of Russia's military and political elite hoped to use some of the country's oil revenues to deploy a new generation of ICBMs. And it seems that some Russians began to believe their own propaganda about the danger posed by a European ABM shield.
By focusing on nuclear disarmament and New START, Obama's reset strategy remilitarized the US-Russia relationship, while marginalizing issues that could have reoriented bilateral ties toward the future. In this sense, the initiative was doomed from the start — and the whole world has suffered as a result.
Both countries' leaders should acknowledge what should now be obvious: nuclear weapons reduction can no longer serve as a reliable basis for bilateral relations.
Either the US and Russia resort to undercutting each other whenever or wherever they can, or they can use the current break in their relationship to devise a new, future-oriented agenda for cooperation that focuses on global problems, such as the ongoing chaos in the Middle East. Neither Russia nor the US can resolve global problems alone. However, together — and with China — they could lead the world toward a more stable and prosperous future.

Gardner will share the steps that he had to take and obstacles he overcame in order to get from where he was to creating the life he wanted to live right now.
Malvern, PA (PRWEB) May 09, 2013
Christopher Gardner, the inspiration for the movie The Pursuit of Happyness starring Will Smith, will be the keynote speaker at The Institutes' 2013 Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU®) conferment ceremony. This year's CPCU conferment will be held in New Orleans at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside hotel on October 26. Speaking to members of the 2013 CPCU class and industry guests, Gardner will share the steps that he had to take and obstacles he overcame in order to get from where he was to creating the life he wanted to live right now.
His childhood was marked by poverty, domestic violence, alcoholism, abuse and family illiteracy. Gardner published his autobiography, The Pursuit of Happyness, out of a desire to shed light on these universal issues and to show that one's circumstances do not need to define the person. That book became a New York Times and Washington Post #1 best-seller and inspired the movie, The Pursuit of Happyness, released by Columbia Pictures. Gardner was an associate producer for the film.
Gardner joined the Navy out of high school and after discharge moved to San Francisco where he worked as a medical research associate for a scientific supply distributor. He earned a spot in the Dean Witter Reynolds training program, but became homeless when he could not make ends meet on his meager trainee salary. Today, Gardner is the owner and CEO of Gardner Rich LLC, a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) registered broker-dealer specializing in servicing public pension funds and Taft-Hartley plans for some of the nation's largest institutions and unions.
Additionally, he is involved with homelessness initiatives assisting families to stay intact, and assisting homeless men and women who are employed, but still struggle to meet their daily needs. His practical guidance and inspirational story have made him a frequent guest on CNN, CNBC and the Fox News Channel.
The Institutes will honor new graduates of the CPCU program at this conferment ceremony. Designees must pass a series of eight rigorous exams, and meet industry experience and ethics requirements. More than 70,000 insurance professionals have earned the CPCU designation since the program's inception in 1942.
About The Institutes
The Institutes are the leader in delivering proven knowledge solutions that drive powerful business results for the risk management and property-casualty insurance industry. The Institutes' knowledge solutions include the CPCU designation program; associate designation programs in areas such as claims, risk management, underwriting, and reinsurance; introductory and foundation programs; online courses; research; custom solutions; assessment tools; and continuing education (CE) courses for licensed insurance professionals and adjusters through their CEU.com business unit.
The Institutes are affiliated with the CPCU Society, a community of credentialed insurance professionals who promote excellence through their technical expertise and ethical behavior and The Griffith Insurance Education Foundation, a non-profit educational organization that promotes the study and teaching of risk management and insurance.

The Kenai Peninsula wildfire in Alaska grew rapidly from 7,131 acres burning on May 19 to more than 156,000 acres on May 25.
The American Red Cross was readying a temporary shelter at an elementary school to help some of the hundreds of evacuees expected from the areas around Soldotna.
Meanwhile, Soldotna locals readied comfortable beds; churches served dinner; and Hooligan's Lodge put out the word on Facebook: free room and board for anyone displaced by the fire.
When the Red Cross shelter opened that night, the cots remained empty because, according to the Anchorage Press, every single evacuee had found more comfortable accommodations in private homes and inns, including Hooligan's Lodge, which welcomed 118 people and 25 pets.

JCache was developed in the Java Community Process (JCP) via JSR-107, the longest running specification request in the history of Java. The spec defines an API and semantics for temporary, in-memory caching of Java objects, including object creation, shared access, spooling, invalidation and consistency across JVMs. "These operations help scale out applications and manage their high-speed access to frequently used data," the company explained.
JCache provides what Hazelcast CTO Greg Luck has described as "a well thought out, standardized API and programming contract for Java caching." And Luck ought to know: he co-authored the JCache spec, and his company was just elected to a seat on the JCP Executive Committee.
Both the MicroProfile and the Java Platform Enterprise Edition (Java EE) were recently accepted as Eclipse projects. MicroProfile, an independent initiative to create a baseline platform definition that optimizes enterprise Java for microservices architecture, was accepted by the foundation last December. The Foundation accepted Java EE to become the Eclipse EE4J Project in September.
Prior to becoming a Solution Member of the Eclipse Foundation, Hazelcast was already an active member of the Eclipse MicroProfile project, along with IBM, Red Hat, Tomitribe, Payara, the London Java Community (LJC), SouJava, Hazelcast, Fujitsu, SmartBear and Oracle.
"Given our work on Eclipse MicroProfile and the fact that Oracle has moved stewardship of Java EE technologies to the Foundation, we felt it was the right time to become even more involved," Luck said in a statement. "As a company we are fully committed to driving adoption of open standards, along with ensuring Java remains the premier enterprise software platform."
Palo Alto, Calif.-based Hazelcast has roots planted deeply in the Java language and platform (its IMDG is written in Java), but the company has spread its support over the years, thanks in part to the efforts of its open source community, to include several clients and programming languages.
"Hazelcast has demonstrated a strong commitment to open source and an open specification process for enterprise Java," said Mike Milinkovich, executive director of the Eclipse Foundation. "Its participation in the Eclipse MicroProfile and EE4J communities will help ensure the overall success of these open source projects."

Of their next broadcasts, hosts Frank 'n' George write, "Did you know Bill Nelson was a folkie, Neko Case was a punk-popster singing songs to obscure Woody Allen characters, and Richard Thompson sang in a higher register and was still married to a woman who hadn't yet konked him in the head with a beer bottle mid-show? Learn these things and more on 'Frank 'n' George' this week, as the DJing duo explore 'Now and Then,' or really 'Then and Now,' but nobody says it that way. We're going to pair up songs by artists, one from the olden days, one from perhaps even 2013 (new releases on F 'n' G? horrors!), all for your ears' edu-tainment."
"Frank 'n' George" airs on Mondays from 9-11 am this winter quarter.

DUNEDIN, Fla. — So there it was in all it's glory. A.J. Burnett showed us all his lack of fingernail today, and boy it shined with all that nail polish — coated on after advice from his mom and wife.
Burnett said he's taking Biotin, which helps strengthen nails and hair, to try to help speed up the growing process. The nail on his index finger, which he lopped off with his car door in November, is too short for a false nail. As recently as yesterday, he was visiting a nail salon to pick up some products.
The problem is that in order to throw his curve, Burnett digs his fingernail in the seams of the baseball. Blue Jays pitching coach Brad Arnsberg said on Sunday that Burnett would probably be able to throw the hook in 10-14 days, but Burnett sounded a little worried it might take longer.
"This is worrying more in the long run than it is right now, because I didn't even throw curveballs until my third or fourth start last spring anyway. … I'm worried about April and May, if it's going to be there by then. But I'm putting every nail thing I can on it."
Even nail polish.

Also, I'm growing more and more convinced that I shouldn't watch any Michigan State Spartans games during the NCAA tourney. Every time I've watched my alma mater, they've been creamed this year. I don't watch yesterday, and they blow out Indiana. Way to go, but go figure.

Curious, stats say JMacD had 2 at bats but in write-up no comment about 2-2 with run scored. Big J-Mac fan. Should have had at least as much press as others. Hope it was just an oversite!! Also know it had nothing to do with you, but have to ask someone. Thanks. Just curious!!
Next week we could very well be talking about Burnett missing his scheduled start because he had to get a bikini wax. Ohhh A.J.! just spare us the details…

The Enem Plural app was one of the most challenging jobs for us in República Interativa. Two months before Enem, the app has been developed in order to support studies for those who was getting ready to the exam and concours. The users can count on hundreds of classes and commented questions. Furthermore they can manage their studies by interest area, performance and exploitation.
The app was idealized by the Teacher, Historian, and Communicator Ricardo Carvalho who has more than 20 years of experience on teaching, always promoting and spreading the Human Sciences. Besides educator, Ricardo has worked with theater as an actor, author and director on a few shows such as "What I am going to be when I grow up" and "The Pacifists". He has also directed two short films and a documentary which was recorded in África and called "Mbondo, our african origin". In 2009 Ricardo has released a CD "Visão de Futuro" which is nothing more than sung history. His dedication on educational area made him a TV presenter on TV Record, TVE and Rede Bahia.
Ricardo's expertise on education allied to República Interativa's on technology and innovation, resulted this amazing job to show that technology and education are really important on social development together.

I'm linking up with Jenn over at Peas and Crayons for the What I Ate Wednesday Party, come check it out!
Here is my favorite recipe:
1 lungo nespresso capsule
1 espresso nespresso capsule
1 tablespoon of coconut oil
1 tablespoon grass fed unsalted butter
1.5 tablespoons local honey
75 ml steamed milk (this recipe is now steamed, local raw milk)
Mix together with a spoon or an immersion blender if you are super picky...it usually blends really well for me, so I don't typically have to use the immersion.
This is so high in calories and good fat from the oil, butter, and milk that it serves as my breakfast along side a banana with peanut butter, which will not be having it's modeling debut today ;) But, it is good and gives me the energy I need to get a workout completed most mornings!
But, this particular morning I did not workout as my friend met me at my house at 10, we had some lavender mint water I'd made. Super simple and delicious:
1-2 sprigs of dried lavender, with the buds, a sprig of mint, let sit in 1 liter of water over night and then drink up!
Now, when we left for our bike ride, we were out for a basic stroll, but I knew we were going to wind up at the local Melktap as she grew up on a dairy farm that her family still owns, so I wanted her to see this. There are several around the Netherlands, this one is just 3 quick miles from my house. It is raw milk that you vend yourself...come back tomorrow for more info on it. The milk is amazing and we each had a cup before we left!
|Yum, yum...fresh from the cow milk!
|Exhibit 2: Wine, pretty large pour as well, gotta love Europe!
Cooking up a storm in the kitchen!

Leo's out and about testing some new wheels – and he's liking Baby Jogger's new ride: the City Select LUX.
As a part of our daily routine, Leo and I go for walks first thing during the day. I always love catching the cool weather that the morning has to offer; a gust of light wind and the shimmering sun: it's totally my type of setting.
Leo and I usually find ourselves headed straight to the park during our walking trips. In fact, we stroll around in our City Premier so when we heard that Baby Jogger came up with something brand spankin' new, we were intrigued.
Baby Jogger is best known for their line of durable, modern, and versatile strollers. Our City Premier has followed Leo since he was a wee little one. Let me tell you: it has not let us down. I can go from bumpy roads to parks covered with gravel and sand and all the way to shopping malls (for hours at a time) with no complaints from either myself or baby.
At the City Select LUX event, we saw exactly what we expected from Baby Jogger. We witnessed the announcement of a beautifully designed stroller that keeps both children and parents in mind. Convenient, sleek in design, and perfect for multiples, this stroller is making me want another little one… soon! And trust me, Joe is completely aware of this.

Part of my issue, well, one of my issues, is that I can't sit. I herniated two discs in my back and sitting is pretty much out of the picture till I get it all worked out. Or until I take massive pain pills and muscle relaxers, but then I can't type or complete a sentence or stop rubbing my nose.
Another suckage for me? The hubbs has the laptop with him in the Ghanistan. No lazy couch surfing for me! I am stuck with the blackberry that takes 4.32 minutes to load a page; which if all you have to do all day is lay around on the couch and pout then 4.32 minutes is an acceptable amount to suffer. It's how I read all your blogs. I'm totally hip with the reading, but waiting even longer to try and post a comment isn't gonna happen. Sorry dogs-
I have started reading "The Cat Who ..." series by Lillian Jackson Braun; I figured with 25 books in the series I should be occupied for awhile. Unfortunately it leaves me with a sense that my life is not complete due to my utter lack of feline companionship. I have never, ever, not in a million years been a cat person so imagine my surprise when I found myself on the Humane Societies website checking out long haired extra large size cats. No skinny Siamese for me, give me the Big Bertha.
I am also inspired to start my own series of posts called "The Dog Who...." This evenings venture? "The Dog Who Knocked Over 12 Mason Jars of Apple Pie Filling (That Took Me an Entire Day to Make and Can) Without Breaking a Single One." It is a riveting, edge of your seat, nail biting episode of tail wagging, slobbering, drooling, stumbling mess of a dog sharing a heartwarming game of dress-up with his little girl. He couldn't really help himself, he hasn't quite figured out how to walk in a dress.
Cross dressing is one of his many new hobbies.
Keep an eye out for even more "The Dog Who..." adventures- you never know what kind of mischief a fun loving poop brown dog can get into!
And on a final note I would be remiss in my obligations as the most awesomest Auntie B-Dub of all time if failed to introduce you to my newest nephew, Peter Arrington Z-Dog.
Don't worry boy, I would cry too if I was covered in cheese.
