UNLV Epicurean Society
I was introduced to the UNLV Epicurean Society in September of 2015 and boy was I in for a surprise! I found peers of mine who did not just consume their food as usual, but they actually enjoyed the whole experience as much as I do! I quickly learned that when dining with club members they paused, disassembled, questioned and savored each meal presented.
At one of the first UNLV Epicurean Society meetings I attended, I had the pleasure of experiencing a short demonstration in the field of Deconstructed Cuisine. It involved a deconstructed One-Bite Curry, broken into four segments, each building on top of the last. As a transportation device, a sliced scalloped potato acted as the base. This was topped with a caramelized onion pureed into a curry sauce acting as an adhesive for the next portion. The third round involved the honey-cumin roasted carrots, cooked just to the point of perfection, a bit of bite with little more than the weight of a closing jaw. Placed adjacent to the carrot slice was a bitter pickled apple slow cooked sous-vide style, the flesh mimicked the texture of the carrot while the apple skin left a textural contrast. "That bite was delicious," said one club member. Jonathan, another club member, particularly enjoyed the curry sauce, stating, "I love this Curry sauce! I am going to put it on everything!" Come to think of it, the sauce bottle mysteriously disappeared as soon as the demo was finished. Something makes me think he had all intentions of putting it on everything. I look forward to this year's culinary education sessions with great anticipation. So far planned for this upcoming semester is a homemade pasta demo and molecular gastronomy demonstration.
Later in the 2015 year, club members took an outing to a wonderful restaurant by the name of "Jayde Fuzion" whose head chef, Chef Mark Sandoval, is also a food and beverage instructor on our campus. Chef Mark Sandoval created a 14-course meal of Asian Fusion entrées ranging from Thai Lettuce Wrap to an Ice Cream Mochi Trio. We had nearly 30 individuals attend the restaurant outing and every single one of us enjoyed a culturally diverse menu. At first I was somewhat skeptical of the possible quality of the seafood, as Nevada is miles from the coast. Growing up in San Diego, it is easy to find fresh seafood on every corner. To my surprise the seafood was phenomenal! The sushi seemed to disappear from the table before the last dish was taken away. Plate after plate went by in a myriad of beautiful colors.
By the end of the outing we found the consumption of desserts both an impossible and daunting task. But of course, we had to take a small sampling. The Lemon Cake with a passion fruit frosting and raspberries was the perfect balance of bitter and sweet to finish off such a wonderful meal.
The month of October was a very busy month for our group. The Epicurean Society partnered with the Beverage Club to throw our second annual "Epiktoberfest." We commandeered both a dining room and kitchen on the campus of UNLV, and cooked up a storm to serve more than 30 people. We prepared Bratwurst, Kielbasa and Potato Pancakes. The Beverage Club supplied an accompaniment of German brews to top off the event. It went off without a hitch and the UNLV Epicurean Society looks forward to doing a similar event this year!
Late in October the Epicurean Society hosted a bake sale for Halloween. We cooked up Pumpkin Spice Muffins, Popcorn Gelatin Balls, Apple Cider, Chocolate Pumpkins and Rice Krispies Treats. We worked the sale dressed in appropriate Halloween garb. The perplexed looks as a taco walked around dishing out muffins was a great conversation starter about our club.
In the upcoming year we have many things already planned. We have planned numerous restaurant outings, a few cooking events and some volunteering events. Our major event upcoming is a huge event where students will take part in setting up and preparing "UNLVino," a 3-day tasting of fine wine, spirits and gourmet food. Proceeds go to help fund UNLV scholarships. A number of UNLV Epicurean Society members will be managing and preparing the food for these events, myself included. So consider attending the event in March and be sure to say hello!

Celebrity Big Brother has confirmed the show will air THAT toilet conversation between Jermaine Pennant and Chloe Ayling.
In a clip, which you can watch below, Jermaine pulls Chloe into the bathroom and says of their relationship: "Yeah I know I've got a missus on the outside, but when we get out, they're gonna ask all sorts of questions.
"And you're just going to have to say it was just banter."
Related: Celebrity Big Brother's Chloe Ayling has a message for Jermaine Pennant's wife
However, Chloe replied: "Yeah but the thing is, they have already seen that it's not just banter. So I can't say it's banter when it's not."
Jermaine adds: "They haven't seen anything," but Chloe hits back: "You said in the confession room, 'I like you.' You might see it as banter but people on the outside won't."
"Yeah but you've got to, you have to start f**king tell no-one what's happened," Jermaine demands.
In another clip set to air tonight, which you can also watch below, Jermaine is seen chatting to Dan Osborne, and accusing Chloe of being a game-player.
Chloe appeared to find out live on air during her post-eviction interview with Emma Willis on Tuesday (August 28) that Jermaine hadn't been honest with her about his relationship.
Viewers have been outraged seeing the pair trading secret love notes and kisses, and even sharing a bed together, in spite of the fact that Jermaine has been married for four years to model Alice Goodwin.
Celebrity Big Brother continues on Wednesday (August 29) at 9pm on Channel 5, followed by Bit on the Side at 11pm.

Huzzah! Me & PKD made the list!
|December 23, 2014

Heyo! So remember that blog series I did for the Missouri Review wherein a curated & commented on the "perfect playlist" for picking up some of my favorite literary figures (poetry or prose, living or dead) from the airport? It was super fun to do and people really seemed to enjoy it.
Well I just found out today that the playlist I made for dearly departed sci-fi master Philip K. Dick made the 2014 top-ten list as one of the Review's most popular posts of the year (measured by # of hits). That's pretty damn cool to hear and my piece is definitely in some great company. Check out the full list HERE.

A while back I dressed up as a cosplaying JRR Tolkien as part of an awesome multi-art Literary Roast of sacred cow authors. It was a pretty rad time. On 9/15 we do it all again and this time I'll become…Cormac McCarthy!!!
It's about to get real.
Check out the awesome trailer for the event:
So, I guess I Kind of Cosplayed…

So this was pretty fun to do. Part of the amazing Literary Roast organized by Weird Love Productions. In this multi-media show all sorts of Boston-area artists (poets, dancers, comics, burlesque performers, etc) were tasked with taking a literary sacred cow of their choice down a peg. I chose J.R.R. Tolkien and revealed his little-discussed achievement of being the man who "Invented Cosplay!!!". Good times. I spent a lot of time crafting that wizard staff…it was worth it. Gandalf Lives!
P.S. Here's an unrelated playlist that I made for Tolkien as part of my series for the blog section of The Missouri Review.
So You're Picking Up Virginia Woolf from the Airport
|June 15, 2014
|Posted by Wes Hazard under Uncategorized
Novelist, intellectual, feminist icon, Bjork fan? I certainly hope so because this playlist I curated for picking up the To The Lighthouse author from the airport includes cuts from not only Ms. Guðmundsdóttir (Iceland's finest export), but also Prince, Massive Attack, Radiohead & Missy Elliott. Part of my ongoing blog series for The Missouri Review, hope you enjoy!

Histogram equalization is an uncomplicated and extensively used image distinction enhancement technique. The crucial drawback of histogram equalization is it transforms the brightness of the image. To overcome this drawback, different histogram Equalization methods have been projected. These methods protect the brightness on the result image but, do not have a usual look. Therefore this paper is an attempt to bridge the gap and results after the processed Associate regions are collected into one image. The mock-up result explains that the algorithm can not only improve image information successfully but also remain the imaginative image luminance well enough to make it likely to be used in video arrangement directly.

August is a very good month for the moon. Just think of it. There it is up in the clear, warm sky, all smiling and sure of itself, excited about another upcoming harvest performance. I love a moon with that kind of confidence.
I've always been soft on the moon, so it startled me one night about five years ago to realize I hadn't actually seen it lately. "Wait a minute," I thought. "Where's my old friend, the Moon? And exactly how long has it been since I watched it move into the trees out back near its familiar place over our house?"
I had no idea.
It was a strange feeling to think of the moon as missing. "What if it just--stopped coming. . . What if it wasn't there anymore?"
I wondered about that for a while.
The truth is, of course, I hadn't seen it because I had simply not taken the time to do the one easy thing that would have kept it overhead--to look up. How could I? I had been too busy, too entertained, and a little too full of myself. I don't even remember now what it was that seemed more engaging than my old blue-white friend.
Shame on me. Without missing a beat this silent ball of light thousands of miles away in the dark of space, floated over earth's horizon without fail right on time every night according to its own celestial clock. Surely that was worth noting. Surely it deserved my respect and attention.
From here on out and for all future days, I decided to "never miss seeing the moon again."
It was a good decision. Now when the moon is there and visible, I say "hello!" It doesn't take long, but the sense of wonder it brings to my own small world is long lasting.
It wasn't long before I began to pass along this new thought to my family as well, and I think it's taking hold. Sometimes one of the boys will text me to say, "Quick! Go outside and look at the moon!"
I consider that a badge to wear proudly.
It's a funny thing about us humans. We bury our hearts and heads within a six or seven foot layer of air near the ground, never looking up, while the whole expanse of eternity hovers above us, dancing and singing.
I can't let that kind of party go on without me anymore.
"I could see every pebble on the path, and every blade of grass by that splendid moon."
Emily Bronte, in Wuthering heights
Until next time,
When my family and I moved from the mountains to Florida many years ago, as a five year old I was in awe of everything. Suddenly a mountain girl was walking on sand and eating oranges off the trees in her own back yard. "There really is Paradise," I thought.
One of the things I still remember clearly, and there are many, is the sweet smell of the air, especially at night. With so many tropical plants and flowers around us wee little mountain folk, the air was a swoozy mixture of sweet perfume. When I was old enough, I drove my car along the narrow beach roads just to breathe in the beautiful, unfamiliar scents.
What stands out most to me from those years is the smell of orange blossom, and the lemon and lime. Coming from coal country where the only thing we knew was the biting smell of smoldering coal, my family and I didn't know what to make of it all.
That's the reason I still have a longing for a real orange or lemon tree to be growing in our yard. But alas, it hasn't happened yet even though I've tried many times. Citrus can't make it through a winter here in north Georgia.
Nevertheless, I press on. This year I planted three patio citrus trees in pots: lemon, key lime, and kumquat. Yes I know. It was an optimistic move, but here's how there is hope.
All I have to do is move the three red pots indoors when cold weather comes pushing its way through in a few months, where they will remain happy and healthy near a sunny window. There now; and you were worried.
There's more good news, however. One of the trees blossomed this week for the first time! Orange blossom is one of the most expensive essential oils you can buy. That's why it's been years since I was last able to experience that beautiful tropical scent. So as soon as I saw the two white blossoms hiding behind dark green leaves on the lemon tree, my nose and I moved up as close as we could to the tiny flowers.
There it was. That sweet perfume I once thought was from paradise itself; the same one I followed after faithfully on warm, cloudless nights along that little two-lane beach road in Florida. . . now revisited in my own patio garden.
The fruit, I admit, might not make it to maturity. It might shrivel and die inside the house when the red mites settle in this winter, or the white flies, or some smut or another.
But no matter. I saw two small flowers appear unexpectedly on a skinny little tree living near the foot of the Appalachian mountains this month. For a brief minute I could recall those slow drives along the beach and the warm perfumed air.
It seemed to me like reward a-plenty for my efforts.
Until next time,
One of the things I like to do this time of year is prepare what we call our flu season emergency supplies.
(To be continued. . . )

Fourth and fifth grade students will begin this project by using four to five ipods simultaneously in a guided reading center. Students will be both homogeneously and heterogeneously grouped during this on-going center based learning instruction. Utilizing ipods for a guided reading center will allow me to completely differentiate instruction by storing multiple leveled texts on a single device. (Students will experience this guided reading center multiple times while they receive instruction on the writing process.) Students will have the ability to access a variety of material and hard cover accompaniments addressing students' various reading levels.
Students will have the opportunity to read/listen to their desired texts multiple times if desired. Also, the ipod control will allow students the flexibility to end their guided reading center at various places in their reading on any given day.
Moreover, students will be able to skip from book to book and chapter-to-chapter at their center, thereby allowing students to finish and begin reading/listening selected texts at specific points or chapters.
Students will engage in jigsaw presentations using various technologies, utlize podcasting programs and present to their peers using digitally projected multimedia images.
The use of audio and/or video technology to develop student writing, reading and speaking skills will allow students to create and dictate their own stories using a multimedia platform. By implementing the audio and/or video portion of the writing process will allow students multiple opportunities to revisit and focus not only on their basic writing, drafting and revision skills, but also their higher level thinking, artistic and creative problem solving skills and abilities.

All brands will contain some amount of the extract from the actual fruit, but the amount of the active substance can vary a lot. There are plenty of fly-by-night products around(pretty much all of the ones in local stores) that only offer a very subpar purity. Often times such supplements(like ones sold at WalMart) only contain 20 or less HCA- even when they are marked as higher(this was the conclusion of a recent study).

There are few ways to feel that your own life matters more than being committed to other people. And people will generally reciprocate your caring and devotion. At a societal level, there is much we need to do to improve the ways we live together and get along with each other. We have come a long way already. Modern secular democratic societies, for all their remaining problems, are on the whole flourishing far more than human societies did at any time in history.
But we still have big challenges ahead of us. One of the foremost of these is stewardship of the environment. As the most evolved species on this planet, we have the ability and responsibility to protect the biosphere from our excesses. No heavenly father will save us, but we are god-like in our powers to the non-human life forms on this planet.
They should all matter to us.

- The Calling.
- Die Orbview-Satelliten - Ein Vergleich (German Edition);
- Splat the Cat with a Bang and a Clang (I Can Read Level 1).
- A Rooted Sorrow?
All we have is each other, huddled together on this lifeboat of a little planet in this vast, indifferent universe. Far from being nihilistic, the fully naturalist worldview of secular humanism empowers us and liberates us from our irrational fears. With its emphasis on humans having to rely on ourselves and each other, it motivates us to live with a sense of interdependent humanistic purpose. Well said. Regarding the last sentence, I offer a different perspective.
If people care, then so does the universe, for we are the universe come to life, as are all living things The sentence expresses the faith of a Naturalist. But Naturalism is not science. Naturalism attempts to answer ultimate questions that are beyond the scope of science. The doctrine that science is the only ultimate reality, is just that - a doctrine.
Like Intelligent Design or belief in a Creator, it is absolutely a matter of metaphysics, not physics; it is a presuppositional belief system. It's based on epistemology every bit as much as is the faith of a Theist. I agree with Bruce Anderson. Lewis says "make no mistake: science is unequivocal that both the universe and life lack inherent purpose.
Can he prove that scientifically? If he can't, then it is not a scientific statement. LeMaitre is the guy who gave us the Big Bang Theory. So many other great scientists were deeply religious men and women Mendel, Newton, etc. But if "both the universe and life lack inherent purpose," how does Lewis arrive at his conclusion that "Purpose emerged in the universe with life itself"? He says that "All living creatures are purposeful," and that "this evolved out of the very same basic life-instinct—gene replication".
But why should even this basic instinct of gene replication evolve in a universe that has no purpose, among life that has no purpose? And if all our morality arises from that basic instinct -- to pass on our genes, often at the expense of other creatures' genes -- then what dark principles can be justified in the name of science?
Let the fittest survive? And too bad about the rest? As a naturalist myself I cannot agree that naturalism makes any attempts to explain our natural world in a manner not dependent on the data we glean from the scientific method. I recently finished reading Sean Carroll's "The Big Pictue" : on the origins of life, meaning, and the universe itself. Carroll expounds on the nature of reality through the prism of scientific understanding and promotes a "poetic naturalism" that takes into account the reality of life from both the macro and micro perspectives.
I encourage you to consider reading his treatise on naturalism as it offers a fresh perspective on the nature of reality. Thanks Ed. Yes, my book is very much along the same lines as Carroll's book, which I agree is excellent and well worth reading. Ed, Intelligent Design is a philosophical question beyond what the data of scientific inquiry itself can prove. Neither, however, can Naturalists prove by scientific inquiry or data that Naturalism IS science.
- Finding Purpose - Dr. Ralph Lewis;
- Random Numbers?

Naturalism is, ultimately, presuppositional belief system that attempts to answer questions regarding the origins and causes of the Cosmos which science alone cannot address. The author is trying to hijack the cultural authority of science to make a metaphysical statement that has nothing whatever to do with science.
Navigation menu
Indeed, many of the greatest scientists in history Galileo, Copernicus, Newton, Kepler, Faraday down to the present day were committed theists, finding order and meaning in the universe. This is not an argument ad populum that theism is true; it just demonstrates that the supposed incompatibility of science and theism is flat wrong.
The author does a tremendous disservice to science by conflating it with naturalism. Please label your beliefs and your faith for what they clearly are--a personal philosophy unconnected to science or the scientific method. I've thought long and carefully about all these points. All are addressed in my book, Finding Purpose in a Godless World, which among other things provides a synthesis of the current mainstream scientific thinking. Many scientists in the past four centuries were theists, but only a tiny minority of top scientists in the twenty first century are theists, due to the newer scientific insights.
Finding Purpose - Dr. Ralph Lewis
Pew Research found in that " So stop distorting and abusing science to justify your naturalism and atheism. Fred, it depends whether you survey elite scientists or all scientists. Rates of religious belief are extremely low among top scientists. See for example Larson, E. Witham, "Leading scientists still reject God" Nature, And Stirrat, M. Cornwell, "Eminent scientists reject the supernatural: a survey of the Fellows of the Royal Society" Evolution: Education and Outreach, How the survey questions are phrased can also influence results.
That doesn't show that belief is trueit DOES show that it's completely compatible with science at the highest levels. Please stop hijacking science to hide your materialistic philosophy--you're degrading and diminishing science! Life itself cannot exist without being first specified among alternatives i. The details of this are certainly not hidden in the scientific literature. This model is dead center of any materialist view of the physical cosmos. John Von Neumann then used that machine to successfully predict the material requirements of an autonomous self-replicator.
These were later isolated by Mahlon Hoagland and Paul Zamecnik, while Marshall Nirenberg and Heinrich Matthaei went on to list the individual associations established by the constraints. And all of this has since been carefully and meticulously described in the physics literature by Howard Pattee and others as the only other example of a general purpose sequential, multi-referent language other than human language found anywhere in the cosmos.
This also includes the additional organizational requirement of being semantically closed in order to function i. The bottom line is that you have to be able to specify something in order to have meaning or purpose in a semantic free universe. You didn't do you homework, you merely wrote a book without it addressing the actual topic of the book you were writing. Thanks for your comment, 'Upright BiPed. In other words, are you implying that meaning cannot arise spontaneously within an unguided evolving system - that meaning has to be externally specified by 'someone' in the first place?
It's also not at all clear to me if you actually read my book, but for purpose of this discussion I'll assume that you did and I'll simply assume that you must surely then have merely missed the relevant citations there. There's nothing fringe or controversial about it in relation to what is accepted scientific knowledge as of In the book's text and endnotes I quoted several substantial and highly regarded scientific sources relevant to your point about semiotics and self-referent meaning such as Douglas Hofstadter, Terrence Deacon.
Meaning and purpose can and do emerge in a system in ways that are internally self-referent and circular.
For example, all the words in a language or all the words in a dictionary only have meaning with reference to each other. They co-evolved. No-one initially set the language going by first specifying some absolute reference or meaning. There was no intelligent designer or initial specifier needed for language - it evolved bottom-up, spontaneously and unguided. So too with all semiotic systems, including genes.
If I've misunderstood what you're trying to say, please do elaborate here. Thanks again for having taken the time to provide such thoughtful feedback and suggestions - I very much appreciate your doing so. You are correct on that front.

There is not a person, laboratory, or institution anywhere on the surface of this planet that can provide a plausible model of how life began spontaneously on earth. The threshold of those two words would have to be stretched to the point that they include models that show neither how a multi-referent symbol system arises spontaneously nor how semantic closure comes into being.
This is a statement of fact. The premise is just flat wrong. Living things require a heritable memory a specification in order to exist. Without that specification, they would not have the physical means to become or remain organized. And if the physical process of evolution requires specification, then the physical process of evolution cannot be the source of specification.
I suspect your book contains a good number of fascinating and well-presented things, I take no issue with that and happily leave it to others to decide and enjoy reading. But your assertion -- that modern science shows that the origin of life is almost certainly a dynamic natural event, with perhaps a few interesting details left to discover -- is a vast vast misrepresentation of both the science and history of the issue. It is also a universal observation in all such systems. In an autonomous open-ended self-replicator like the living cell you have to have enough of these meaningful relationships in order to be able to describe all the constraints in the system.
You also have to describe the all objects in the system that cause it to read and translate its descriptions. Semantic closure only occurs when there is a functional relationship between these two sets of objects: the sequences that describe the constraints, and the sequences that describe the reading and translation of the descriptions.
The coordination of semantic closure is required because if you change any of the first set, it changes all of the second set. This is an example of why appeals to consensus are deemed irrelevant in science. No one has a clue how this occurred through dynamics forces alone. Through physics we recognize that it is exactly the same material organization as language a universal correlate of intelligence. We also recognize that it is the only other example of such an organization found anywhere else in the cosmos, and it happens to be found at the very core of life on earth.
Thank you for this elaboration and clarification. The field has come a long way since the important groundwork by the brilliant thinkers you cite. Researchers in the field generally anticipate being able to solve the origin-of-life problem within a matter of decades. Key to the solution of the legitimate conundrum you pose are models of self-organisation and auto-catalytic sets e. In the past it used to seem reasonable to assert that there are fundamental questions about life and the universe that are in principle not explainable by natural science, that they would always remain so, and that these gaps could only be filled by invoking God or some kind of supernatural force as an explanation.
We should be very hesitant to assume that a particular gap will not eventually be closed by science.
March 2018
Science does not claim to or need to know everything about life and the universe. Science thrives on unanswered questions and uncertainty. But history has taught us that with rational effort, critically minded people have progressively and systematically addressed one mysterious knowledge gap after another, debunking countless supernatural and magical explanations and answering innumerable questions that were previously considered impossible to answer.
Saying that God did it explains nothing. The God hypothesis only moves the mystery up a level. You seem to be a solidly critically-minded person, and you demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of an important piece of the puzzle — semiotics, one that most people find hard to grasp. Telling yourself there is purpose in the universe and your life is no different than a religious belief. Things we do here on Earth don't matter, since eventually everyone will be dust. They may make you feel good for a while, but ultimately, they simply don't matter, no matter who tell yourself. Well, you have found your purpose!!!
Good for you!! Is your purpose to simply be an ass and drag people down to some selfish solipsistic depressing inhumane place with you, directly or indirectly, one way or another? You must be the life at the parties. He didn't talk about purpose of the universe? Who the heck are you or who the heck is anyone to think they could ever be able to discover a purpose or not of the entire incomprehensibly immense universe? He is talking about a personal purpose. So, welcome to life among the living and the human race? You have won the existential crisis prize!!!. Whether you like it or not, you have to make decisions in your life what is your purpose?
Not deciding, pretending you don't have to make decisions, or laughably trying to hide from the universe you are actually in are still decisions. And don't try to say you don't have free will. You have free will in the sense that you have not been directly coerced, for example, to be a dick. The life we currently see on our planet is purposeful and shaped by human creation, which in turn is based on human imagination.
As long as science cannot explain human imagination and the broader term 'consciousness', it would suit scientists to let go of their arrogance toward 'ordinary folk'. Many 'mainstream scientific ideas' turned out to be wrong.
This Random World
The fact that many scientists believe something to be true does not make it true: only scientific evidence counts in the scientific method, not scientific authority. Sounds like you have taken this guys first two sentences about science as fact. They are BS false descriptions of science and scientists. If you still don't get it Please tell me what scientific theory or what research paper or even what scientists would contradict that humanistic idea?
However, by "life" I assume that you mean "human life". If you mean "all life", then you are nutty. It is clear you don't have a clue what you are talking about, but only have guesses. You, say, "As long as science cannot explain human imagination and the broader term 'consciousness Why is that a standard? For example, why can't an astronomer theorize about the universe or a biologist theorize about evolution because hypothetical some people who study the brain can't explain some things about?
Do you read back the words you write and hear them? What the G. You say, "many 'mainstream scientific ideas' turned out to be wrong. Of course, many "ideas" turn out to be wrong, in any system. They are mere ideas. Your use of the word idea is equivalent to hypothesis. Do you mean theories turn out to be wrong.
Theories don't get called that without passing many tests. Thank you for visiting TheaterJones. If you experience any difficulties with this site, please contact the site administrator. All material contained within this website is copyright c Metropolitan Arts Media, Inc.

Wantdo Women's Hooded Packable Ultra Light Weight Down Coat Short Outwear,US Large/ASIAN 2XL,Wine Red
This warm jacket is padded with an innovative material that's as warm as down and super light. It features a compact silhouette for a feminine look, and it's thin and lightweight enough to wear under another layer. Zip closure, hood and a raglan-sleeve design combine to create sporty style.
Washing Mode:
Soak your down jacket for up to 60 minutes, in sink or in machine on soak cycle. We recommend using a down-specific soap or detergent. Don't use fabric softener.
Rinse by lightly squeezing out excess water - do not wring. You can shake gently, but be careful as wet down is heavy enough to damage fabric.
For best results allow down jacket to drip-dry before tumble-drying.
Tumble-dry thoroughly on very low heat until you can't feel any clumps of down. Excessive heat can damage down oils.
After removing from dryer, shake your jacket to re-loft the down and air for several hours before using or storing. If you don't have a tumble dryer, we recommend professional laundering.
Ensure your down jacket is dry before using or storing.
Don't store your jacket in a stuff sac.

- Nice Girls Don't Live Forever
Now, sealed in human form and banished to the DFZ — a vertical metropolis built on the ruins of Old Detroit — Julius has one month to prove he can be a ruthless dragon or kiss his true shape goodbye forever. Now Apollo is a father himself — and as he and his wife, Emma, are settling into their new lives as parents, exhaustion and anxiety start to take their toll.
Irritable and disconnected from their new baby boy, at first Emma seems to be exhibiting signs of postpartum depression, but it quickly becomes clear that her troubles go even deeper. For the warrior tells her an extraordinary tale: Although not everything is as straightforward as it seems.

Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs Audiobook | Molly Harper | gtfd.info
I am Lauren, hear me roar. As the Volvo pulled away in a cloud of noxious exhaust, I squinted up at PetzBiz, which did its best to live up to its status as a big box store by being the biggest, boxiest store in the strip mall.
Muckle zipped around me, trying to smell everything at once, then suddenly leaped into the air and started barking like a maniac. And possibly human eardrums as well. He looked like some kind of terrier crossed with who-knew-what, with cute floppy ears, gangly legs that looked too long for his stout body, and an alert, foxy face. On the other end of the leash, letting himself be dragged by the dog, was a guy around my age. I tended to go for artsy, exotic guys—long hair, cool accents, brooding expressions.
Well, at least in theory. He was more like an all-American jock, with broad shoulders, smooth dark skin without a zit to be seen, and a nice smile. He was even dressed in the typical jock uniform: Or more specifically, up to Muckle. He really was awfully cute. The thing was, this guy was even better-looking up close, and that always made me nervous. And being nervous made me babble. Like from the Shetland Islands, you know? At that moment Muckle decided the terrier mix looked threatening, or maybe he just got bored with the butt sniffing.
In any case, he leaped at Ozzy with one of the wild, silly growls he made whenever he got worked up. The other puppy dodged just in time, bowing down on his front legs to invite Muckle to play. Muckle seemed to take that as an insult; he spun in a circle, barking loudly with his ears pinned back. I leaned forward to grab him, but just then Ozzy seemed to realize that Muckle looked kind of scary.
He zigged just as I zagged, and my foot caught on his leash. Suddenly I felt myself going airborne. He jumped forward, placing himself between me and the sidewalk. He grabbed me by the upper arms and hauled me back onto my feet.
I was very aware of his hands—his big, strong hands—still encircling my arms. For a second I was extremely distracted by the nice smell coming from him—a clean smell, like soap and shampoo and laundry detergent, with maybe the slightest hint of eau de wet dog. I blinked, coming back to my senses.

He let go of my arms and stepped back as well. Muckle chose that moment to leap away in pursuit of a leaf blowing past.
I staggered slightly, but managed to stay on my own two feet this time. The cute guy was still staring at me. He would have been rolling on the sidewalk laughing at my dorkiness.

Unlike many children's retail stores, Babble was not borne from a desire to find innovative, interesting products for her own babies. In fact, she only had 3 high quality items of baby gear! It wasn't until her youngest child was 8 months of age that she felt she had missed out on a lot of the wonderful products that were on the market. She knew she still wanted to be in the "baby" phase of her life, but after having two children of her own, she thought it was time to leave the childbearing behind her. The idea to open a store germinated slowly over time – the opportunity and interest developed and presented itself in many ways.
The final decision to open the business came from losing her Dad to leukemia. In Tara's own words, "I knew I had to start making my own dreams come true. No one would do it for me. I quickly turned to business planning (while on my second maternity leave from 10 years of service in healthcare) and with many hours of dedicated, hard work, Babble was born and opened October 24, 2011."
Babble is Tara's passion – she treats her customers like extended family and takes great pride in connecting with them. It gives her (and her staff) great joy to assist customers in many aspects of pregnancy and parenting, such as bra fitting, baby wearing, car seat safety, home safety, teething, cloth diapering, sleeping, nursing, thumb sucking – you name it!
Babble is proud of the wonderful relationships they've built with the public health community, local organizations and businesses. They also find great fulfillment in helping other businesses grow, often referring and recommending local, growing businesses for their customers to seek out. While just a young business itself, Babble has very generously donated to many charitable causes in its first year of operation, including The Terry Fox Foundation, Arthritis Society, Juvenile Diabetes, Rotary Club, a local College team, Eagles Ladies Club, Kinsmen Club, the Cloth Diapering Challenge and many more.
It's pretty evident that Babble is not your average baby store – it is so much more! The huge array of functional, stylish and just plain cool items they carry is impressive, and I love the enthusiasm with which Tara describes them. She is a big advocate of sourcing local products, and supporting local businesses in general. She educates her customers about eco-friendly, multipurpose products and encourages their use for a healthier life and planet. One of her favourites is theBecopotty from BecoThings. It's an innovative, portable product that is biodegradable at the end of potty training. (How cool is that?) Tara also recommends Canadian-made Applecheeks cloth diapers and accessories – a high-quality line that is backed by exceptional service and brand integrity.
Other favourites include the versatile Aden and Anais muslin swaddle collection (the generous, breathable fabric can double as a nursing cover, swaddle blanket, car seat cover and change pad cover); the Dapper Snapper – a hard-to-find item that keeps "droopy drawers" in check; Earth Mama Angel Baby organic body care products; Undercover Mama – the nursing accessory that turns any (nursing) bra into a tank; Snappy Socks by Corla, a local Mompreneur who has appeared on The Dragon's Den; 4MOMS' mamaRoo – a seat (not swing) that moves like Mama (Ellen DeGeneres featured it on her show last year and it's a huge hit!); beautiful Canadian-made bedding by Sweet Kyla; and the bold, fun – and popular – Ruffle Butts / Rugged Butts clothing lines.
They also carry an enviable stock of kids' shoes, including hard-to-find KEEN shoes for Kids (durable, supportive shoes, boots and sandals, many of which are washable), Jack & Lily and Robeez brands. And, since every little one needs travel gear, Babble carries some of the finest brands in this category – BOB and Britax, to name a few.
It's been a great first year for Babble… the first of many, I'm sure! If you find yourself in Southwest Saskatchewan, be sure to look them up in Swift Current and check out their webpage for information on some of their brands. You can also keep abreast of all the fun by liking them on Facebook. And, coming soon, stay tuned for their new web store to make its debut! They look forward to serving you and your little babblers…because that's what they do best. J

OxfordSaudia blog covers the aviation industry in the Middle East & the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
In 2017, Passengers on flights bound for the US and UK from several countries in the Middle East was no longer allowed to bring devices larger than a smartphone into the cabin. The travel world hassled till earlier this year when the US government has banned lithium-ion batteries from checked bags as it may cause explosions. On the other hand, the majority of people who travel with different electronic devices get confused and frustrated about what to take in a carry-on bag and what to leave in the checked luggage. Whether you are a frequent flyer or a first-time traveler, knowing all about organizing your electronics on a plane is a must for a much more convenient flight. Follow this article for full guidance of traveling abroad with electronics, from packing to security check, on-plane devices' using tips and much more! Packing Electronics in a Carry-On Bag It's no big deal with phones or tablets; the big issue is bringing large electronics such as laptops, E-readers, cameras, Bluetooth speakers, portable batteries, or other large Li-ion electronics on the flight. The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) suggests that large electronic devices "should be kept in carry-on baggage. But if someone ignores the ban and packs these electronics in checked baggage, then these electronics should be turned completely off, protected from accidental activation and packed, so they are protected from damage. '' Lithium metal and lithium-ion batteries are prohibited in checked baggage so they must be placed in the carry-on. Security and TSA Checkpoint At the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoint, you will have to remove items like liquids and electronics that are larger than a cell phone from your luggage and place them in separate bins before going through security. Therefore, your bag should be neatly organized if you want to avoid that entire headache. Always pack your clothes toward the bottom and your electronics toward the top with making sure it will not get any harm if the baggage was accidentally hit the ground. NOTE: In this phase, you will have to remove your shoes, items from pockets, jewelry, and large jackets. People who are over age 75 are exempt from taking shoes and jackets off. So here's a tip, before going for the checkpoint, wear shoes that require minimal effort to take off and put back on. Also, wear shoes and clothes without metal and remove body piercings. Airport Security Screening If you take a laptop through airport security in several countries, you will need to take it out of its case and place it by itself in a plastic bin for X-ray screening. To avoid the hassle at this point, consider buying a TSA-friendly laptop case. This case allows security screeners to examine your laptop easily, but you cannot put anything else in that case. As you approach the screening checkpoint, slide your laptop along the X-ray scanner, repack it after being scanned, and do this before putting on your shoes and gathering your possessions as it might be exposed to theft. So as you pass through the security checkpoint, keep your eyes open and be aware of the people around you. Medical Electronics Of course patients are allowed to bring medical electronic devices on flights like pacemakers, neurostimulators and insulin pumps. But you must carry proof that this medical electronic device is necessary for the form of a notification card. Since most airlines cannot provide an electric source to plug in, consider having a battery-operated portable version. If your airline company provide, you'll need a DC adaptor; check the airlines' website for the specific regulations for medical devices your airline has and take your time going through security. Install the 'MiFlight' app on your phone to tell you the average line wait time in any airport around the world, and consider budgeting more time than the average passenger. Electronic cigarettes and vape You can take your vape device or e-cigarettes on a plane but only in your carry-on bag, as you are not allowed to pack it in the checked bag because of the batteries as we mentioned before. This goes for all vape pens, e-cigarettes, and similar devices. Of course, there is no smoking while onboard the plane! You're not allowed to use it or charge it. You may also need to disconnect the battery to eliminate any chance of being turned on by accident. Always check the airline's website to understand its rules about flying with a vaping device. Keep in mind that the airline could have more strict rules than the airport security administration. NOTE: As for vaping liquid, you must follow normal security rules regarding liquids. To clarify, you can bring vaping liquid in your carry-on bag as long as the container is 100ml or smaller and fits in your 1-quart clear zip-top liquids bag. Larger amounts must be packed in the checked luggage. ELECTRONICS PACKING AND USING TIPS Finally, here are some additional tips you should take note of about your electronics on a plane trip: Use an electronics organizer for your cables, cords, USB, adapter, power bank, phones, Android and apple chargers, etc. It will protect and keep everything clean all in one place, making it very easy to carry. Never connect to any free public wifi network that is not officially recommended for use by the airport. Hackers can easily get your information as it goes from your laptop or phone to the router when you log in. Moreover, they can make you out of access to your accounts for the next few hours while they have the keys to all of your secret data. So if you have to, DO NOT BANK OR SHOP ONLINE IF YOU ARE USING A FREE WIFI. Put your device on airplane mode as electronics might interfere with the communication on the airplane during takeoff causing a crash. There is also a plus benefit, you will save phone power and your battery will last much longer if you turn your device's airplane mode on. And last but not least, if you're traveling to a country where theft crimes are common, leave expensive electronics home if possible and find some cheap devices to take or you can use internet cafés there.READ MORE >
There is no doubt that the potential of solar flights and solar powered airplanes has gained momentum with the completion of Solar Impulse 1 and 2, the outcomes of the eponymous solar airplane project. However, the usage of solar flights is not a too-recent trend in aviation. Sure, the ongoing modern global direction towards renewable and clean energy has helped accelerated its progress, but the fact of the matter is that the first successful solar powered flight to ever take place happened more than 4 decades ago. And we say successful because reports of early attempts to fly aircraft using electricity date back to the 19th century. Here, we demonstrate the history of solar aircraft from the date of the earliest known successful solar flight till today, as well as the foreseen future of this field. Mauro Solar Riser Although Mauro Solar Riser was the first manned airplane to do a solar flight, it is not the first solar powered airplane to fly in history. On 4 November 1974, AstroFlight Sunrise took off unmanned from Bicycle Lake in California state. The earliest prototype of AstroFlight successfully completed 27 flights. Four years later, on April 29, 1979, Mauro Solar Riser, manned by its eponymous designer Larry Mauro, took off from Flabob Airport in Riverside, California to become the first manned solar aircraft to ever fly. How did Mauro Solar Riser work? The aircraft was powered by a 3.5 hp Bosch motor connected to a 30V nickel-cadmium battery pack which was in turn charged by photovoltaic solar panel array installed on its top wing to provide 350 Watts. Manufactured by Ultralight Flying Machines, Solar Riser was capable of flying for 3 to 5 minutes after having its cells charged for 1.5 hours; the aircraft's speed could reach up to 32 kilometers per hour. Solar One: Even though the first Solar One aircraft was produced in December 1978, four months before the take-off of Mauro Solar Riser, it did not take off before June 1979. With the total production cost of 16,000 euros, the most expensive component of Solar One was its 750-solar cell array whose value alone mounted up to 6,000 euros. Piloted by Ken Stewart, Solar One took off in its first successful attempt on 13 June 1979 where it flew at 65 kilometers per hour for around 1.2 kilometers. The second flight for Solar One took place on the same day, where it was manned by Bill Maidment who flew it at its maximum speed, 78 kilometers per hour. How did Solar One work? Solar One had four Bosch motors installed - each with a power of 1 hp, which were wired to a 24-cell battery pack charged by the aforementioned solar cell array. Solair 1: A made-in-Germany solar aircraft, Solair 1 utilized 2,499 solar cells with a capacity that ranges between 2.4hp and 3.0hp. The first trip of the first prototype of Solair took place on 21 August 1983, and it lasted for 5 hours and 40 minutes. The prototype is now displayed in the German Museum in Munich. ERAST: Over the 90s, NASA has launched many lesser-known solar empowered aviation ventures and projects as a part of its Environmental Research Aircraft and Sensor Technology program (ERAST). With the aim of developing low-cost unmanned electric airplanes to take out science missions like communication support and atmospheric studies at altitudes of more than 60,000 feet, ERAST produced several solar-empowered aircraft. The first outcome of the program, Pathfinder, has set a record for an altitude of solar-empowered airplanes in 1995 by flying at 50,000 feet for 12 hours. Two years later, Pathfinder broke its own record by flying at 71,530 feet. In 1998, Pathfinder Plus broke the record of its predecessor by achieving an altitude of 80,000 feet. Helios, the last model developed by ERAST two years before its termination in 2003, traversed the sky at an altitude of 96,963 feet. Solar Impulse - the Present and Future: In the recent rise of and need for clean energy, the Swiss project known as Solar Impulse was launched in 2003 by Swiss engineer André Borschberg and balloonist Bertrand Piccard; the program's objective was to develop single-seated fixed-wing solar powered airplanes that have the ability to circumnavigate the globe. Test Flights: Solar Impulse 1, the first prototype of the project, completed its first test flight in December 2009 covering a distance of 350 meters about 1 meter above the ground. The flight's goal was to test the aircraft's specifications. The real test for Solar Impulse 1 came around four months later, on April 2010, when Marcus Scherdel piloted it for 87 minutes at an altitude of 1,200 feet. In the following months, the prototype succeeded in making the first trip in which it charged its batteries within the flight (May 2010) as well as completing its first overnight trip which lasted for 26 straight hours at an altitude of 8,600 meters, setting the record back then as both the longest and highest manned solar powered flight to be made. First International Flight: Almost one year later, on 13 May 2011, Solar Impulse 1 took off from Switzerland towards Brussels, the capital city of Belgium, in its first international flight. The trip spanned 13 hours where the airplane traversed a distance of 630 kilometers with an average speed of 50 kilometers per hour and an average altitude of 1,800 meters. Madrid - Rabat: The first intercontinental flight for Solar Impulse 1 took place on June 2012 when the solar powered airplane flew from Madrid, Spain to Rabat, Morocco in a 19-hour flight. Specifications of Solar Impulse 1: Solar Impulse 1 utilized 4 electric motors powered by 4 Lithium-Ion batteries, each with a capacity of 7.5 kilowatts; the batteries were charged by 11,600 solar cells installed on the aircraft's upper wing. The airplane's speed could reach up to 70 kilometers per hour, with an endurance of 36 hours and a maximum altitude of 12,000 meters. Solar Impulse 2: In 2011, the Solar Impulse program began working on building its second eponymous aircraft and completed it in three years. Solar Impulse 2 featured many advanced technologies and specifications that were not in its predecessors like an autopilot system and an oxygen mask, enabling the airplane to fly at an altitude that can reach up to 12,000 feet. As for performance specifications, Solar Impulse 2 was considered a significant leap forward for solar powered airplanes. The aircraft has a maximum speed of 140 kilometers per hour, almost double that of Solar Impulse 1. This was made possible by the aircraft's upgraded power plant which comprised four electric motors connected to four lithium-ion batteries charged by 17,248 solar cells installed on its 72 meters long wing. Test Flights: Solar Impulse 2's first take-off occurred in 2014, where it reached an altitude of 1,700 meters and traveled at an average ground speed of 56 kilometers per hour. In October of the same year, Solar Impulse 2 completed both its first night flight and its first flight at maximum altitude. World Circumnavigation: Between the years 2015 and 2016, Solar Impulse 2 headlined the global aviation industry news when it embarked on a round-the-world circumnavigation which started on 9 March 2015 and concluded on 23 July 2016. Over the course of 490 days, the solar powered Solar Impulse 2 traveled an accumulated distance of 43,000 kilometers in a total flight time of 550 hours (22 days and 22 hours) during which it produced 11,000-kilowatt hours. In the tour, Solar Impulse 2 traveled across 18 cities located in Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America and over two oceans (the Pacific and the Atlantic) and three seas (the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, and the Arabian Sea). Sure enough, Solar Impulse's circumnavigation has broken 19 records, including the Longest Solo Flight in an Airplane which was set by the aircraft's flight from Japan to Hawaii, piloted by André Borschberg. Future of Solar Impulse: In 2016, the program announced its plans to develop a third Solar Impulse airplane that would be able to accomplish some of the tasks usually done by satellites. It is still unclear when we should expect to see the new prototype. Advantages of Solar Powered Airplanes: 1- Environment-friendly: Clearly, the biggest advantage of solar powered flights, and the factual main purpose of developing them is that they depend on a clean form of energy that causes zero harm to the environment. 2- Free Energy Source: Solar energy is a clean, free, and renewable source of energy, which gives it a grand advantage over fossil fuel. Disadvantages of Solar Powered Airplanes: 1- Weather Dependency: Though this is true for all types of aircraft, weather changes impact traditional flights to a less extent than it does solar powered flights. While the weather can delay the schedule of traditional aircraft or make flying it a more difficult task, solar powered aircraft will not be able to fly except in specific weather conditions - especially in long-distance flights as it would need to recharge while it is up in the air. 2- Expensive Equipment: While the energy source in itself is essentially free, the equipment and technologies required to harness and utilize solar energy are extremely expensive considering the scale on which it would need to be used to fly single-rider aircraft, let alone the commercial-use airplanes. Conclusion: The shift towards renewable energy sources generally, and in the aviation industry specifically, is indeed a positive step towards preserving the environment and decelerating climate change. However, solar powered airplanes have a very long way to go before they can act as a complete alternative for fossil fuels. That being said, solar aircraft in its current and predicted future forms, can still be useful in fields like atmospheric research and communications. We can always use less consumed fossil fuels.READ MORE >

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Maiduguri Zonal Office on Monday arraigned Mustapha Baba Kura before Justice Aisha Kumaliya of the Borno State High Court, sitting in Maiduguri on a one-count charge that borders on cheating to the tune of N6m.
Trouble started for Kura when the Commission received a petition from one Babagana Mamman against him to the effect that Kura deceived him into paying a total of N6m for the supply of chalk flour to one Shehu Saidu, a Lagos-based flour dealer.
Mamman after agreeing on terms with Shehu, transferred the sum of N5.4m to him for the supply of 600 bags of chalk flour at N9,000 per bag.
After the arrival of the goods, Mamman paid the balance of N600,000 as the transportation cost.
The charge reads, "that you Mustapha Baba Kura sometime in April, 2017 in Maiduguri, within the judicial division of the High Court of Justice of Borno State with intent to defraud, cheated Babagana Mamman Gadai by deceiving him to part with the sum of Six Million Naira (N6,000, 000.00) under the pretence of purchasing 600 bags of flour at N9,000.00 per bag which you knew to be false and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 320 and punishable under Section 322 of the Penal Code Law Cap 102, Laws of Borno State."
Kura pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Counsel to the prosecution, Benjamin Lawan Manji prayed the court for a trial date and the remand of the defendant in the prison custody pending trial.
Justice Aisha Kumaliya, thereafter, ordered the remand of the defendant in prison custody and adjourned the matter to April 23, 2019 for commencement of trial

Not exactly new here, just have not been around for a while.
Intended to get a ZRX since about 2001, but working nationwide and getting home a weekend a month made it not be a priority.
About a month from now a friend should be delivering his 05 with around 25k miles on it.
It has been a long road since I met Rick 61 and a few other guys at the Rock Store back in 01.
But I guess better late than never.
