Tom Daschle's Washington
His riches illustrate the expanding power of the political class.
Just as Tom Daschle's Senate pals were preparing to grant absolution for his six-figure tax-free limousine -- could've happened to anyone -- the former Majority Leader yesterday withdrew his nomination to be Secretary of Health and Human Services. Give Mr. Daschle credit for making the honorable choice, and sparing President Obama from a bipartisan populist revolt.
Before this episode vanishes into Beltway lore, however, it's worth drawing a few lessons. Especially because the political left seems to want to make this a morality...

ADB Gets Award from Zanzibar
The Minister of Education, Culture and Sports, Honorable Haroun Ali Suleiman, in his speech, explained that the Bank's involvement in the development of the Education Sector in Zanzibar started with Education II Project, which came at a time when most bilateral partners had suspended their support to Zanzibar on political grounds.
If It was not for the Bank's intervention in the construction and rehabilitation of 200 classrooms, rehabilitation of Nkrumah Teacher Training College, in-service training of teachers and supply of textbooks and teachers' guide for primary standard four to seven, the basic education system in Zanzibar would have significantly deteriorated.
In contrast, because of the contribution of the project Gross Enrollment Rate at primary level has gone up from 85.4% in 1999 to 100.3% in 2004.
Furthermore, the supply of textbooks and teachers guides for primary standard four and five have enabled the pupil textbook ratio to reach 1:1 and the quality of education continues to rise. This achievement is hailed in Zanzibar as a most significant milestone in its drive to attain education for all with quality.
The President of Zanzibar Honorable Aman Abeid Aman Karume, who presided over the ceremony, commended ADB for being among the first partners to support Zanzibar Poverty Reduction Plan through Alternative Learning and Skills Development Project which aims at providing skills training to out-of-school youth and women. The project has come up with the innovative concept of business incubator targeting the unemployed less educated youth rather than the traditional high tech incubator for highly skilled workers most of whom are above the poverty line.
The President reiterated the commitment of his Government to continue to work with the Bank in the area of human resource development, as well as in other sectors like Transport and Agriculture.

- One-on-one with God
- Personal
- Self-awareness
A Soul-Care Retreat is a specific time set aside to be aware of God's presence and work in your soul through rest, reflection and solitude, and to share personal connection with Him by participating in His already active work. It is a one-on-one experience with God. Jesus did this all the time.
- Scripture
- Reflection
- Letting Down
A Soul Care Retreat can be structured and unstructured, depending on your needs and desires. It may include naps, meals, walks, prayer, relaxation, journaling, spiritual reading, drawing or even fasting.
- Plan Location and Arrive
- Slowly let down…begin to Rest…
- Reflect & Pray
Once you've planned, packed and arrived at your Soul-Care Retreat location, you can begin your time with a simple prayer, unpack, and begin to notice the world around you. Use the Evening to slow your thoughts, grow in awareness of your desires and most importantly, begin to share these things with God through prayer, journaling, prayer-walking, drawing, or sitting in His presence and just thinking. Utilize the space not to accomplish or to produce, but to be present and to enjoy God's presence.
See Packages for more information, including Personalized Retreat Materials with a Spiritual Direction Session.
- Tiredness
- Surprising thoughts and emotions
- Longing
Especially if this is your first Soul-Care Retreat, your body will catch up on what it needs most—sleep, processing, decisions, anxiety, fear, etc. Don't avoid, instead, pay attention to these things. Talk to God about them. He made your frame, he knows you're only dust…
This time is special because God's Spirit dwells inside you, let Him tend to whatever needs come up. There is no standard for success on a Soul-Care Retreat!
Let your soul be loved.
- Overworked
- Needing Refreshment
- Longing for Insight
A Soul-Care Retreat is needed for many reasons—but most deeply because our souls are made to live and dwell in active relationship with God. A thousand pressures and requirements war against the rest our souls need. Spending one-on-One time with God, just like Jesus did, will bring us the rest, refreshment and insight we need to re-engage and grow in our relationships with God.

The benefits of digital advertising for your business can be vast. Depending on the size and reach of the project, digital advertising platforms can help you achieve business goals by connecting you with new customers, or reengaging with old ones.
Digital Advertising Can be More Cost Effective Than Print
One of the biggest benefits of digital advertising is the cost. Generally, digital campaigns are much cheaper than their traditional printed counterparts. This is because the majority of digital advertising methods – such as search engine marketing, mobile advertising and social media marketing – work on a cost per use basis. That means that although your ad might be viewed a lot, you only pay if someone clicks on it. This is a far more effective way of using your advertising dollars that placing an ad in the newspaper and hoping someone calls you. As an added bonus, you can set your campaign to stop showing once it's reached your set budget, so you don't accidentally overspend.
You Can Easily Measure Your Ads Effectiveness… And Adjust Your Campaign Accordingly
It's much easier to measure the effectiveness of digital campaigns that it is traditional campaigns. Most platforms offer their own analytics platform that gathers data for you – such as Google Analytics, Twitter Analytics and Facebook Insights.
There are a multitude of ways you can measure your campaigns – click through rates, open rates, shares, likes, reach, the list is endless. All of these things include analysing hard data, which can be time consuming. If you have the time or the knowledge, we highly recommend taking some time each week or month to analyse individual campaigns. However, if you're looking for a simpler measure, consider adding a promo code to your ad. That way, you can simply count the number of sales using the promotional code. If no one redeems that particular code, you know to move your funding away from that particular channel.
Digital Advertising Helps Get People to Your Website
There's only so much you can say in an ad, guest blog post or social media post. But advertising on these channels is still beneficial, in that it helps you move traffic to your website. And this is where your business shines! You can include contact forms, lists of your services and much, much more content about your business in general, so getting people to your website should always be a priority.

I have been looking forward to this post for a while now, and I was planning on waiting until the new curtains were up and everything was completed. But, the table was set all pretty for yesterday's blogpost, so I thought what better time than now.
Back in February, I talked KJ into painting the back of the built ins in our dining room navy. We haven't painted our house since we first painted it when we first bought it 4 years ago, and I had been itching to pull out a paint brush and go to town.
I have been thinking about painting more than the built-ins, but the living areas of our house are so open that it is very hard to start and stop paint colors through out the space. And not to mention that all the corners are rounded.... so that makes it even harder.
We choose Sherwin Williams, Naval. I have always loved this shade of navy, and I happened to have a sample of it in the garage the day we decided to paint.
To be honest, I had some serious reservations about painting the built ins navy. I was worried about how it would look with all the Blue Willow piled in. But, it looks like they are all pretty happy.
Here are a few before photos of the dining room. Its hard to even remember it looking like this! I didn't think that a little bit of paint could make such a huge difference.
If you want to see this room before it was a dining room, check out this post.
If you want to see this room before it was a dining room, check out this post.
All I can say it wow what a transformation!! I cannot believe that our dining room used to be so bland. No wonder I kept craving a little color and dimension in this space!

At the end of October 2016, Crossref, DataCite, and ORCID reported on collaboration in the area of organization identifiers. We issued three papers for community comment and after input we subsequently announced the formation of The OI Project, along with a call for expressions of interest from people interested in serving on the working group.
We had a great response and are happy to report that the Working Group has now been established, and is already underway with work to develop a plan for an open, independent, not-for-profit, sustainable, organization identifier registry.
There is information about the OI Project Working Group on the ORCID website including a list of the 17 working group members. They represent a broad range of scholarly communications stakeholders. Our scope of work includes three separate but interdependent areas:
The initial goal of the Working Group is to create a thorough and robust implementation plan by the end of 2017.
Please take a look at the website for more information and we'll provide updates as things progress throughout the course of the year.

Manufacturer: Bharat Serums And Vaccines
Substance: Human Menopausal Gonadotropin
Package: 1 Vial (150 IU/vial)
Humog by Bharat is an injectable drug which is a combination of two naturally-occurring female hormones, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH). Among athletes and bodybuilders it is an important part of post cycle therapy. It is considered an alternative to Human Chorionic Gonadotropin in restoring body's functions and sexual health after anabolic steroids use. One difference between the two compounds is the fact that Humog raises Follicle Stimulating Hormone and HCG does not. This is especially appealing since an increase in FSH means higher sperm count and ejaculate volume.
The average dosage of Humog is 150 IU - a full vial, a day and for post cycle therapy it should be ran for 14 days. Human Menopausal Gonadotropin can be most effective when ran alongside HCG and other LH stimulating drugs such as Clomixyl or Nolvaxyl during Post Cycle Therapy. Possible side effects after the use of the compound may be: abdominal pain, enlarged abdomen, headache, pain and inflammation at the injection site, nausea and vomiting.

Dianabol, often referred to as D-Bol, is an anabolic steroid that was developed in the 1960s and it is considered by many to be one of the most popular anabolic steroids.

topicTALKS is coming
Three old stagers have joined forces to create an exciting new series of programs of live talks that will inspire, inform and challenge you on subjects that matter in your lives.
TV legend Ray Martin, presenter and author Patrick Lindsay and promoter Colin McLennan have called the programs topicTALKS and reckon they'll appeal to people who, like them, are "passionately curious".
Patrick Lindsay sees the programs as an opportunity to shine a light into areas of our lives, which are generally ignored by mainstream media in their endless pursuit of the youthful dollar.
"Remember when spinners played cricket, not spent their time crafting one-liners and news grabs for politicians? Remember when social media meant journos who liked a drink? We see topicTALKS as an antidote to the pre-packaged, passionless presentation of ideas we have thrust at us," he says.
"We reckon people are longing to see storytellers who speak from the heart, who conceive their own ideas, believe in them and present them with spontaneity, authenticity and passion. We want to explore topics that are vital to us and our families and to the future of our planet. We want to hear our storytellers speak in person and we want to have the chance to challenge their views."
Ray will host the series and will introduce four other top storytellers, who will each speak for 20 minutes, followed by an all-in Q & A:
Tom Keneally "Five great novels you haven't read yet"
Australian Living Treasure, one of our greatest storytellers and most decorated living authors, having won a Booker Prize, two Miles Franklin Awards and received honorary doctorates from six universities.
Ray Martin "One cranky, profane saint"
One of Australia's most respected and experienced journalists. Along with a diverse television career, he's long been involved in charity work and has written two national best-selling books.
Gretel Killen "Why happiness is like nits"
TV provocateur , stand-up comic, advertising voice-artist and author of more than twenty books. Hosting Big Brother made her a household name in Australia.
Patrick Lindsay "Fromelles … voices from the graveyard"
After a long career in television, now one of Australia's leading non-fiction authors, having written 17 best-selling books since 2002. The chairman of the Kokoda Track Foundation since 2005
Seb Robertson "Giving a voice to the elephant in the room"
Young Australian social entrepreneur, who formed his own foundation, Batyr, to educate and empower young people to confront and accept difficult social issues. Sydney's Social Entrepreneur of the Year .
topicTALKS will debut at three venues over three Sunday mornings:

If the new Iraq is to become the hoped-for example of democracy and freedom to other Arab states, one of the most effective measures those charged with its rebuilding can take is to encourage the participation of women at every level of society.
This is not only for the benefit of women, though as half the population they are as entitled to liberation as are the men of Iraq. It is also because throughout the world, a very good indication of the quality of life in a country is the status of women in that country.
Iraq under Saddam was not considered terribly oppressive towards women, by the standards of the region. This is despite Saddam's son, Uday, having had hundreds of women killed for prostitution, their heads nailed to the doors of their houses as a lesson to other women not to "dishonour" their country (the real crime of many was to speak out about corruption in government). And despite Saddam, to win the approval of his fundamentalist neighbours, having issued a decree allowing men to kill their female relatives to preserve family honour.
Even so, women were relatively free to go about their lives. In Saudi Arabia, women are forbidden to ride a bicycle or drive a car. They must sit in the back of public buses, segregated from men; they must have their husband's written permission to travel, even within the country; they must cover their bodies and faces in public, and those who do not can be slapped by the religious police.
In Kuwait, women may not vote. In Syria, Egypt, Libya, Jordan and some other Arab countries a husband can prevent his wife from leaving the country for any reason. In Jordan, "honour" killings are often either not prosecuted or receive lenient penalties. Female circumcision is still common in the rural areas of Egypt, Oman and Yemen. The Arab states have the lowest female participation in the paid workforce in the world and the lowest representation of women in parliaments. One in two Arab women cannot read or write.
According to last year's Arab Human Development Report - written for the UN by Arab academics - the region is crippled by a lack of political freedom, isolation from ideas, and the repression of women.
Oil alone will not be enough to make Iraq a prosperous, liberal democracy. Saudi Arabia, despite its vast oil riches, has a labour force that is growing twice as fast as employment. Across the Arab world there is falling economic growth, high unemployment and very high population growth. With 40 per cent of the population under 15, the main growth in the region is in angry young men without jobs and without hope.
If Arab countries are to be able to provide for their growing populations - especially after the oil runs out or the world finds alternate sources of energy - not only economic reforms but changes of culture will be needed. Not least needed is a change in attitudes towards women. Right now the Arab world is handicapping itself by its failure to use the intelligence, the energy and the productivity of half the population.
No, the whole world doesn't have to become just like us. Indeed, I hope the rest of the world never does take on the self-absorption and over-consumption so prevalent in Western society. The poorest people in the world often have a dignity and a generosity that we have largely lost. But those who think all must be excused because "it's their culture" seem not to take into account that there are movements within even the most repressive countries striving to change aspects of their cultures - in the same way that we have seen things wrong in our culture and tried to change them.
In all Islamic states there are strong movements of women who see no necessary contradictions between Islam and women's rights. Yet the women in Afghanistan who were fighting against the Taliban rule have said the hardest thing was their feeling that they were alone in their struggle.
Afghanistan today is a slightly better place than it was under the Taliban. Girls are in school and some women - those who were trained before the Taliban took over - are back at work. But much of the aid promised by the US and other international donors has not been forthcoming, and rural warlords are again exerting power. In some parts of Afghanistan, the traditional practice of compensating for murder by giving a daughter of the killer's family to the family of the victim still exists. Is anyone going to excuse this on the grounds of culture?
Are countries such as Australia, Canada, Norway - all near the top of the UN Human Development Index - good countries because women are equal, or are women (well, almost) equal because they are good countries? It hardly matters.
Iraq is not Afghanistan. It has a large, educated, urban middle class, through which ideas spread, and is largely secular. Whatever you thought about the war, no reasonable person could fail to hope it will become a beacon for a better deal for women in the Middle East. Or fail to see that a better deal is long overdue.

The upcoming late autumn and winter months are begging for drinks that will warm up your chilled bones. Swap out the late-summer and early-fall flavors of cucumber and strawberry for blackberry and cherry, and throw in flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove.

'Having completed two films with Team Engine, I would never subject a production office to a paper-based workflow again.

On a recent London-based production we on-boarded a props buyer working remotely in Sudan - start form, payroll info, and fully executed contract saved in the cloud - inside 10 minutes.'
Aidan Elliott, Producer - 'His House'
'I can't imagine going back to the old way of contracts – engine is a hugely useful system.
Fantastic for Accounting, Production and Crew!'
Wendy Ellerker, Financial Controller - 'Angel Has Fallen' & 'Toff Guys'
'Engine has been a game changer for the on-boarding and contracting of crew on my last two projects.
It's such a great idea, executed soo simply and intuitively. Without doubt, it improved the efficiency of the production and accounting offices, streamlining their contracting and payroll work.
Our crew user feedback was excellent, and the added security and environmental benefits over the old paper based systems make it a no-brainer.
It would pain me to go back to the old ways of contracting crew, and I can't recommend it enough to the unlucky teams that haven't been able to use it yet!'
James Smith, UPM - 'All The Money In The World'
'As a payroll accountant, engine has made my life so much easier - but also for crew!
It bypasses the time-consuming and frustrating chasing of paperwork and documents.
I love the simple and easy access to everyone's deal summaries without having to do a crew bible!
I don't want to do another job as payroll accountant without engine'.
David Danisovszky, Payroll - 'The Secret Garden'
'Using engine on Bodyguard was a godsend. It saved the production hours, if not days of processing contracts and chasing the crew for missing paperwork.
Team Engine listened to us all the way and have even at times adapted their software to meet our needs.
A great piece of kit.
Amit Varsani, Production Accountant - 'Bodyguard'
'A very streamlined service'
I don't want to do another job as payroll accountant without engine'.
Maxine Stanley, Financial Controller - 'Judy'
'Engine is a game changer for the film industry and finally propels it into the 21st Century.
No more manually generating contracts, lost paperwork or chasing for signatures.
In nearly all cases, our crew had fully executed agreements before walking in the door on their 1st day.
If you haven't tried Engine yet, I would highly recommend you do on your next Production.'
Simon Mills, Production Manager - 'Angel Has Fallen'
'Our crew largely adapted to engine without a problem and the benefits in efficiency to the production team were instantly tangible.
It's efficient, effective and a step forward. I highly recommend it and look forward to additional modules.'
Mark Birmingham, Line Producer - 'Angel Has Fallen'
'This has to become the industry standard. A seamless and straightforward system which is long overdue.
In my 20 years in Production, it was a first; we had the majority of the crew's start forms and contracts signed and filed, 3 weeks in.'
Liza Carmel, Production - 'Bodyguard'
'It's really a no-brainer for everyone to adopt this system..
and if your records are kept on file it will make it so much easier for the next one.'
Tommy Holman, Camera
'Makes life so much easier.
It can be a right pain filling out form after form but with this, it is so simple for everybody.'
Dan Moriarty, Grip
'This sounds really interesting..
potentially a great way forward on many fronts!'
EM, Completion Guarantor
'I just watched the explainer video, wow wee!
Stone Ages move out the way - a digital revolution is coming.'
Rebecca Ioannou, Production

This 12 part (5+ hour long) webseries was conceived as part of the indiegogo campaign for my debut feature film, Headcase. What started out with humble intentions eventually ballooned into an exhaustive and hilarious account of three novice filmmakers mounting an ambitious $50,000 feature film. It's an incredibly candid "soap opera" style series that features 30 interviews with the cast and crew, each providing their own unique perspective and valuable advice for other up and coming filmmakers.
- 2013 | 12 episodes | 300+ minutes
- Featuring interviews with Anthony Greene, Alex Jordan, Ken Simpson, Lara Amersey, Alex Dacev, Leon Bearman, Saffron Cassaday & more...
- Written, Produced, Directed & Edited by Ken Simpson
Series Teaser
Reviews & Testimonials
"Epic and truly an inside look at low budget film making. If you make films or want to, this series is a must see!" - Soak Studios
"Save your money on film school and just watch these witty and insightful vids! Definitely a must watch for anyone starting their first feature production or otherwise." - Russell Challenger, Filmmaker
"This is, without a doubt, one of the best "Behind the Scenes" series I have ever seen. Every episode was both useful, insightful and most of all thoroughly enjoyable. I only wish I could have made it to the premiere of the film. Anyone involved in indie filmmaking MUST SEE THIS!!" - Steve McAleavy, Filmmaker/Editor
"Even having not seen the final piece, I loved every minute of Headcase: A Look Inside. Serving as a fantastic deconstruction of the to-dos and not-to-dos of ultra-low-budget film making, it's equal parts film school, online tutorial, and schadenfreude. It's clear director Ken Simpson is an indie force of nature - a loaded gun ready to fire. Even if all you take away from this is 50k-is-just-not-enough-to-make-a-movie, it's more than worth your time. He's created an amazing document that'll both inspire, and send a chill down your indy-filmmaker spine." - Mike Roberts, Animator / Director

Episode Previews
Episode 1: A First Time For Everything
In this premiere episode, we introduce you to writer Anthony Greene, director Ken Simpson and producer Alex Jordan. We find out where they were in their lives just prior to starting Headcase, how it was that they all met, what made them commit to making this ambitious micro-budget feature film and why they settled on a budget of $50,000.
Episode #2: Auditioning, Casting, Rehearsing…Oh my!
With their core production team in place, Anthony, Ken and Alex enlisted the help of casting director Lara Amersey to conduct auditions. In this episode, they discuss the merits and potential pitfalls of using untested actors in lead roles as well as the surprising amount of luck and intuition that plays a part when casting for a non-union feature film. From novices and reluctant actors to hopeful stars and seasoned character performers, this episode introduces you to the principal cast of Headcase!
Episode #3: Advice for making a $50,000 film
"A novice filmmaker has $50,000 burning a hole in their pocket and they want to make a feature film, what's your advice to them?" That's the question we asked the cast and crew of Headcase to help any hapless, misguided poor souls who should want to follow in our footsteps! Seriously though, it is entirely possible to make an ambitious feature film for 50 grand and the advice of our team will enlighten, inspire and possibly even surprise you!
Episode #4: The Low Cost of High Production Value
What exactly is production value? Where does it come from and more importantly, how do you get it? Director Ken Simpson kicks off this episode with his opinion as to how easy it is to achieve and why it has virtually nothing to do with large production budgets or high-end gear. Other key crew members chime in and offer tips and tricks for maximizing what little money you might have for your film. As an adjunct to this episode, the cast and crew discuss their beliefs as to why Canadian films tend to look so…well, Canadian.
Episode #5: Leon & Zorro's War Stories
In one of the funniest episodes of our series, we catch up with two of the most popular Headcase cast members: Leon Bearman and Zorro. These two troopers put up with a hell of a lot while making our film and we've asked them to recount their most painful memories for your viewing pleasure!
Episode #6: Authorship / Ownership
Far be it from us to shy away from contentious subject matter! In this special round table episode, Headcase writer/financier/star Anthony Greene sits down with director Ken Simpson and producer Alex Jordan to discuss the controversial subject of "Authorship vs. Ownership" or as we like to phrase the question, "Just whose movie is this anyway?"
Episode #7: The Crew of Headcase
The title says it all! This episode focuses on the young men and women (many of whom had never been on a film set before) who really made Headcase… the crew! We also delve into the dreadful, infamous and (in retrospect) hilarious mishap that later became known as "The car tow day."
Episode #8: The Director / Cinematographer Relationship
This episode gets dark and we're not just talking about the lighting! Director Ken Simpson and cinematographer Alex Dacev reveal their early frustrations while working as technicians in the Toronto film industry. We learn about the difficulties they faced individually at the outset of Headcase and how those growing pains ultimately matured into a flourishing, creative partnership.
Episode #9: The Editing & VFX of Headcase
In this "tutorial style" episode, Headcase director / editor Ken Simpson takes us through several problematic scenes where creative solutions in the editing suite allowed him to maintain a clear narrative structure. He also demonstrates how by learning the basics of tracking, rotoscoping and compositing he was able to accomplish over 130 visual effects shots for the film all by himself.
While this episode is very technical in its presentation, the core concepts Ken explores are invaluable for budding filmmakers eager to add new dimensions to their skill set.
Episode #10: The Sound of Headcase
In this special audio-only episode of our series, we cover everything relating to the sound of our $50,000 feature film. From on set acquisition to ADR, composing and sound mixing. We even discuss the tedious and complex task of sourcing and securing music licenses for very little money.
Episode #11: Selling Headcase PT.1
Headcase began production in April of 2008, and this episode fast forwards 4 years later to catch up with the filmmakers to find out where the film stands and where Anthony Greene, Ken Simpson and Alex Jordan are in their lives. As the three begin to enter the ever-changing world of marketing and distribution, Ken sits down for a conversation with fellow director Chris Power (Long Pigs) in hopes of gleaning some wisdom regarding the pitfalls that first time filmmakers face when selling their movie.

I think the point to make upfront here is that, in these last two deconstructions of "The Sopranos," we might not even need to go that deep. Everyone will have theories – though I believe the notion of "theories" is coming to an end – and people will have elements to the franchise series they'll want to go on and on about. I may just be getting in the way. That said, at this point, one paragraph in, I can't promise that it will be short.
The last episode, however, was truly sweet. And also bittersweet. The most impressive part of this rush to the end is that nearly every episode has been taut, informative and fanstastic. In this penultimate episode (which David Chase co-wrote), you can see the veil of surprise, of artistic feints, red herrings, theory-bating and any other cool narrative device totally vanish. It's as if things snuck up on us. Time is not just running out, it's almost all gone. Action needed to step forth and be counted. And so, true to form historically, the second to last episode had more than it's fair share of Big Moments. By the way, I'll say this once and once only – if you haven't seen this episode, turn away now.
Sil whacked a guy (don't listen to offers, is the moral of that killing); Sil was later killed (or at least we think so) as was Bobby Bacala. Tony is on the run, holed up in a safe (unsafe?) house with Bacala's Big Ass Gun and Paulie Walnuts and the rest of the least threatening crew you could ever imagine. Strange times.
These have been tense episodes of late and Sunday's may have ratcheted things up to unbearable. Give the directors (and the writers) credit for moving things along at a crisp clip, with everything believable and compelling (even if you knew what was coming – the mark of suberb cinematography and storytelling). The Bacala hit at the hobby shop was tipped by the ringing phone in his left-behind jacket, but even when you saw the two guys walk in, the editing of the train and the guys walking down the aisles and Bacala staring dreamily at his "Blue Comet" train coach – it was priceless. Really well done. And credit Bacala for standing tall as long as he could. He took a lot of led.
The Sil hit was perfect because there was a routine to it. A simplicity. Get in the car, get out. Cut off. Do what you can to survive. It seems about as simple and true to life as imaginable.
The question here is, were you sad about either one? Strangely enough, I wasn't. Not one bit. I think that's part of the point.
So here we are, one episode from the end (did you notice that HBO didn't even play coy with the preview – just kept it short and simple, not to give enough away; that said, knowing Phil has surfaced before Tony is dead is a very bad sign for Phil). Almost without thinking about it, a lot of heated theories about where this series is going are now moot, pointless or just out the window. Forgotten even. I still think there will be a lot of unanswered questions in the finale (and we may yet see Tony die) but this unraveling seems about as simple as you could dream it. Two families have a falling out. New York moves on Jersey. The end. Or at least close to it. There are still ramifications. But the basic motivation for closure seems to be a personality clash and a dispute. Very true-to-life as motivation. Very mob-like.
Now, we're still open to interpretations, ideas about what's next (does Tony go or stay, is there a backlash in his family-on-the-lam, etc.) Something could still happen with the Feds. A.J. and Carmela are both still in play. Someone from within his own crew could turn. Tony could even slip away (after offing Phil?) to an unknown life. We may never know a lot of things. But why not talk about them?
More after the jump:
One episode left. Tony's holed up, back to the wall, fully automatic machine gun in hand. Knowing that much will be left unresolved, there's this: How does he go out? How does it end?

Isaac Knott (Nick Stahl) is a Public Radio reporter in New York City. When he was eight, his mother and father died in an automobile accident that left him in a wheelchair. On air, Isaac recounts how he recently received an anonymous tip from someone identified only as "Ancient Chinese Girl." She tells him a perfectly able-bodied man walked into an emergency ward downtown, and attempted to bribe a doctor into amputating his leg. As Isaac investigates the eerie tip, he encounters Fiona (Vera Farmiga) who, through her own quandary, leads Isaac to a netherworld of people afflicted with a perverse desire to be disabled. Like a contemporary noir detective film, QUID PRO QUO follows Issac as he embarks on a dream-like journey to pull back the layers of what makes people feel whole.

Photo Essay: Sintra, Portugal in Photos
Ladies and gents, welcome to Sintra, Portugal, or as I'd prefer to call it, Europe's Magic Kingdom, or Fairytale Town, Europe. Perhaps you know the type of place I'm talking about. It's one of those places where everything feels so magical and fairy tale-like that it almost doesn't even feel real. That if I lean against or touch the castle walls (yes, a castle), that it may just fall over.
In short, Sintra, Portugal was just stupid-beautiful and magical. I drank the Kool-Aid, and as such, am coming to you with Sintra, Portugal in photos. Europe's Magic Kingdom Sintra is a town located just beyond Lisbon, a 45-minute train ride from the heart of the city. And it's basically just one big UNESCO World Heritage Site, literally, dating back thousands of years. Standing atop the walls of an 8th-century Moorish castle, Castelo dos Mouros, I thought about the profundity of such a place, the town of Sintra directly beneath me, the Atlantic Ocean in the far distance, and looking out across the forest to Palácio da Pena, a Romanticist castle from the 19th century. It became pretty apparent why it had been inhabited for so long. Shit, I would've built a castle here, too.
This is all without even mentioning the town of Sintra, steeped in history itself, such as at Quinta da Regaleira (also a World Heritage Site), which dates back more than 100 years, and includes a palace, chapel, tunnels, lakes, and fountains. Yes, all that on one estate. Of most interest to me was the initiation well, an 88-foot-deep inverted tower and spiraling staircase. Make your own inferences if it was used for initiations by secret groups, which it's been rumored to be used for.
All this to say, that I can't recommend Sintra, Portugal enough. While you can spend the night in Sintra itself, it's a great, easy day trip from Lisbon. But I'll let the photos do the rest of the talking.

The first Rosa Mexicano was open in 1984 and restaurant fifteen recently opened in Boston's Seaport area. The Mexican chain franchise are mostly based in New York, D.C., Miami and LA and entrees are priced at $15 to $30. We are surprised there is another new Mexican restaurant at the waterfront, given the fairly new introductions of Temazcal (BMH's review of Temazcal Tequila Cantina) and Papagayo.
Featured at the front of the restaurant entrance were Rosa Mexicano products including salsa and a cookbook.
We enjoyed the funky tiled art which was featured throughout the dining room.
The dining room was spacious and we felt the restaurant was a well oiled machine. There were several servers ready and on hand, constantly checking in and refilling water.
We particularly liked the blue titled back splash.
We shared an order of the Guacamole en Molcajete which was prepared table side. The guacamole was served with two salsas and tortillas and served 2-3 people for a $14 per order. We really enjoyed the two salsas, especially the green tomatillo salsa and wish we had more. The guacamole itself was fresh, however missed a bit of acidity.
Our elote order came with three grilled corn "on" the cob smothered in crema, chile and cheese, presented on a banana leaf for $ 5. The corn was fresh, however again, the corn was missing some acidity. The corn was covered in chile and cheese, however there was a missing layer of flavor. We prefer Toro's elote to all the Mexican corn we have sampled in Boston.
If we were in the Seaport area and wanted to try Rosa Mexicano for a proper meal, we would try the Pescado de Baja Line-caught crispy local fish, jalapeño tartar sauce ($16.50), Queso Fundido Melted Chihuahua cheese served in a cast iron skillet ($9.75), and for dessert sample the Churros en Bolsa Traditional Mexican doughnuts served with three dipping sauces: chocolate, caramel and raspberry guajillo ($7.50).

Some players the Swans are interested in - to varying degrees:-
Joe Allen - the obvious one and the latest I've heard from an insider is that this is the signing the new owners want to unveil when they finally ratify their ownership. They believe bringing Joe back is the signing to signal the start of their 'era'. They will not however pay £15m for him. Bid of £8m has been rejected and Swans are hopeful of a £12m bid being accepted. The feeling is that the deal could have been done for 8 had they completed it before the Euros.
Next is Bony, Swansea have explored writing off the money owed by Man City but City will use him to get Stones.
Haller of Utrecht is of interest. A young, strong and packet striker who have been scouted previously but is now under strong consideration. Bid to be made. €8m with add ons.
Valencia and Sakho are both being considered from West Ham. Lots of ifs and buts re: these 2 as West Ham really want to make a superstar striker signing which has left all their strikers including Carroll disillusioned. Valencia is furthest along as Sakho has heart set on working with Big Sam but that will be up in the air if he takes over England. Lots need to be resolved before any progress is made. West Ham making their signing for starters as they are struggling to attract that big name and will not sell until they do.
Zaza from Juve has been priced out of a move - Guidolin really wanted him. His teammate Pererya is still under consideration.
Hal Robson Kanu is weighing up a bid from Hull but it is believed he would have preferred to come here but Swans never pursued him.

Bradford City are interested in taking 21 year old attacking midfielder Besar Halimi on a season loan from Mainz 05. The Kosovan has been recommended by City owner Edin Rahic who previously worked at Halimis old club Stuttgart Kickers.

Cameron Brannagan could be on his way to Bradford City from Liverpool on loan. Looked as if he was heading to Wigan but talk broke down due to Liverpool bringing in a financial penalty if any of their players out on loan didn't play 75 percent of the clubs games in that season. Interest also there from Bristol City.

Creative Placemaking Workshops
Workshop 1: Tuesday, June 20 from 6:30 to 9:30 pm
Workshop 2: Thursday, June 22 from 3 to 6 pm
Finally: A chance to share all you learned creating a tree house or building a fort in the back yard.
Toronto-based artist Jennie Suddick and urban planner Sara Udow will be considering forts and tree houses to look at how communities can engage with city planning to meet the needs of citizens. To do this, they'll be asking about people's dream tree houses, both real and imagined, part of a hands-on series called Creative Placemaking Workshops at Open Space.
Please join us for the Tree House Workshop (it's free) on Tuesday, June 20 from 6:30 to 9:30 pm. Participants will be asked to recall unrealized childhood plans for tree houses and other forts. Through interactive discussion and hands-on collaboration with participants, Suddick will help participants recapture those dormant tree house plans and turn them into clay architectural models and detailed drawings. Participants' creations will inspire Suddick to create her own paper sculptural models, which will be shown as a part of The Tree House Project exhibition that will be held at Open Space in the summer of 2018.
A second free event, the Placemaking Workshop, will be held on Thursday, June 22 from 3 to 6 pm. Participants will be working with both Suddick and Udow to question the role of the arts in building a city. They will encourage the participants to explore creativity to re-envision a space in the city, bringing together architects, developers, city staff, and community members who will be on-site to input ideas.
Open Space encourages that those interested register in advance at firstname.lastname@example.com, as space is limited.
Open Space thanks our sponors for these workshops: Our Place, Vancity, Dockside Green, and Opus Art Supplies. Your support is much appreciated!

Pressure on my forehead under my eyebrows. A swirling feeling. It makes it hard to feel like making decisions. I feel like I can't think, but yet I can remember things and can learn for academics.. I feel like staring straight off into space looking at nothing. A spinning feeling. It makes me feel anxious. What helps: Sometimes a nap. Sometimes more activity. Eating. Drinking coconut water. I think this is with drawl from buckwheat symptoms. Any more tips, or descriptions, I just can't seem to cut the fog. Diana Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sam Bompas is a real-life Willy Wonka. With his schoolfriend-turned-business partner Harry Parr, he runs Bompas & Parr, a London studio best known for its wacky, food-centric installations, whether a cloud of gin and tonic known as Alcoholic Architecture, or the Jump for Joy bouncy castle in New York's Museum of Sex.
Bompas travels between 125,000 and 160,000 kilometres per year, mostly on British Airways. "I don't find travelling long distances very hard at all," he says, but Bompas is a laissez-faire frequent flyer. "Honestly, I've never claimed a single air mile."
Read Bompas's essential travel tips below.
Combat jet lag like a Navy Seal
I apply the principles of Navy Seals' "Hell Week" to long-haul travel. During Hell Week, Navy Seal hopefuls are subjected to a relentless onslaught of ordeals, and if they make it through the week, they join one of the world's elite combat units, whose motto is the only easy day was yesterday.
Throughout the gruelling week, I've been told they were allowed to sleep only twice, for 20 minutes at a time-once in a ditch, the other with a live firing exercise going on above them. The only way to survive [the week] is to increase the volume of food they consume exponentially, to 6,000 calories per day.
I take a similar approach when travelling, particularly for business: less sleep, five meals, and hours of exercise. I drink a lot of alcohol as well. The reason for that is one of the problems with jetlag is your body clock. You're on your diurnal cycle, and what alcohol's really good at doing is completely f--king your body clock up – you'll stay up when you're meant to go to sleep, you'll sleep at times when you're supposed to stay up. So you can disable your body clock with alcohol. Massively ramp up the exercise to speed up your metabolism, and then you can push through.
The best city in the world for sausages
Taipei is a total pleasure, and it's rarely visited by Westerners apart from business. The foodscape there is varied and vigorous. I'm particularly obsessed with the Taiwanese sausages you can track down to the night markets. There is one that is so large it looks like the forearm of an adult man, and another which is a pork sausage contained within a rice sausage.
If you're particularly adventurous, you must track down Shi Ba La, or Sausage Gambling. In the 1950s, I think, there was legislation put in so that you couldn't sell food on the street so you roll a dice [instead]. You're dicing against each other, and if the discrepancy is greater, you win more sausages. It's great-you can end up winning, like, nine sausages.
Maximise the flavour in your in-flight food
On planes, you're in an incredibly arid environment, so all the food has much less flavour. I will literally [choose to] fly Asian airlines, because of their curried food or very, very heavily spiced food.
The same thing is happening at NASA's ISS or in the Antarctic research stations: It's extremely dry, so you cannot taste in the same way you otherwise would. In those places, the most highly valued thing is Tabasco [sauce]-people maim each other for Tabasco. So it's worth finding space in your bag for those little mini bottles. It's the same choosing wines; go for a really full-bodied or quite rich wine.
The only airport worth a long layover
I now try [to] book a slightly longer layover in Singapore-ideally, three hours or so. It's not long enough to leave the airport, but it's enough time to have fun. I flipping love going through it. There's a butterfly house, and the airport restaurants feature all the most respected Singapore street food.
And there's an outdoor swimming pool that's open 24 hours and is part of the terminal complex, so I always pack my swimsuit in my laptop case. There's a pool, Jacuzzi, and poolside bar. It's really convivial. You only want to swim for, like, 40 minutes, and because everyone is transiting through, no one feels threatened if you just go and have a chat with them.
Gauge a bar's calibre in a single glance
The first thing you see is how much ice [bartenders] are putting in drinks. When they pour me a drink, the barman needs to fill the whole glass up, and then a little bit more, with ice, then pour the liquids in.
If you only have a little bit of ice, it melts [faster], so you get way more dilution and a really wet drink. That's the first thing sh-t barmen will do: They think it's actually better getting more liquid, but it isn't.
The only travel motto you need: Always be late
I have a problem because I'm always a little bit late. And everything [related to flying] is bred to make you get there on time, really early, so you get the plane. Airlines don't want that unpredictability. I've seen a lot of research on the choreography of anxiety in airports: They want you to be anxious, but not too anxious.
They have to get it just right, where there's a bit of anxiety so they can get everyone through the security measures, and then there's a moment of relief when you're flooded with pleasurable endorphins-that's when you're more likely to buy things. Then there's a growing intensity of anxiety to get you onto the plane, so you don't miss your flight, because that's really important for them.
But when you fly loads, you very quickly realise that there's another plane coming right behind. It's just like a really expensive bus. You're not worried when you miss your bus, are you? It's just a bit annoying. And I get onto planes late all the time-it's a combination of being apologetic to people, and being really nice to them. They're used to someone in that situation kicking up a massive fuss, and telling them it's the end of their life, and everything's ruined. It's just because of the overall conditioning of how bad it is to miss a flight, which is a myth.

Like many great movies, Nim's Island is based on a book.
A girl. An iguana. An island. And e-mail. Meet Nim–a modern-day Robinson Crusoe! She can chop down bananas with a machete, climb tall palm trees, and start a fire with a piece of glass. So she's not afraid when her scientist dad sails off to study plankton for three days, leaving her alone on their island. Besides, it's not as if no one's looking after her–she's got a sea lion to mother her and an iguana for comic relief. She also has an interesting new e-mail pal. But when her father's cell-phone calls stop coming and disaster seems near, Nim has to be stronger and braver than she's ever been before.
And she'll need all her friends to help her.
And she'll need all her friends to help her.
So yes, I'm a fan of author Wendy Orr and Nim's Island. Want to know what is so cool about this? WENDY ORR READ CLOCKWISE!!
"I love Clockwise! A great read."
Wendy Orr, author of Nim's Island.
This happened a few years ago, and yes, I squealed a little.

What is Academic and Career Planning?
As of September 2017, Schools have been mandated by the state to implement Academic and Career Plans (ACP's) for students in grades 6-12.
ACP is an ongoing student driven process guided by educators and local businesses. Students will experience a dynamic Academic Career Plan which evolves from learning experiences, both in and out of the classroom, that support employability skills, career awareness, exploration, planning and training. Career information will be infused into curriculum as educators may request professionals to speak in a class, add relevance to their curriculum or offer a tour or onsite event. Business can show a student what it is like to work in a particular career by hosting a variety of experiences, such as, but not limited to; job-shadows, information interviews and youth apprenticeships.
The Student Process
Self awareness and understanding YOU
• Self-assessment of interests and strengths
• Reflection and goal-setting

Bluestar bought stakes in the Port Harcourt and Kaduna refineries in May in the last days of the administration of President Olusegun Obasanjo.
It prompted accusations of cronyism and fears over potential job losses.
Corruption, poor management, sabotage and a lack of maintenance have made Nigeria's refineries inefficient.
The nation's four refineries operate at about 40% of full capacity, but there has been a recent campaign by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to say that it is capable of improving the management of the plants.
A BBC reporter in the capital Abuja says that Bluestar's withdrawal may allow Chinese oil firms to step into the breach.
General strike
Mr Dangote was quoted in the Nigerian media as saying that Bluestar was stepping aside for 12 months to allow NNPC to deliver on its commitment to improve output capacity.
He has faced accusations that he benefited from cronyism as he profited from other privatisations.
The sale of the refineries to Bluestar for a total of $721m was one of the factors that led to a general strike of four days in June.
Nigeria, Africa's biggest exporter of crude oil, relies on imports to meet its fuel needs of 30 million litres a day.
Mr Dangote had hailed his involvement in the Port Harcourt refinery, with a processing capacity of 210,000 barrels per day (bpd), and of the 110,000 bpd Kaduna refinery, as an improvement on state ownership.
But trade unions and opposition politicians pointed out that Mr Dangote is a major player in the fuel importation business, leading to a potential conflict of interest.

On the way back to the bus stop we saw this fountain in front of a business center
