State Quietly Expands I-94 Project
Reconstruction of I-94 would extend 23% further into city, stretching east to 16th Street, WISDOT says.
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation this week quietly moved the eastern boundary of the I-94 east-west reconstruction and expansion project from 25th St. to 16th St., extending the project by 23 percent.
WisDOT's extension increases the project length from 2.85 miles to 3.5 miles, a increasing it by.65 miles. Cost figures were not included in the announcement, which was made in the Federal Register.
All of its I-94 reconstruction public outreach, including a total of eight public meetings, dealt with a project that ended at 25th St.
Said WisDOT in its Federal Register announcement: "Public involvement is a critical component of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) project development process and will continue to occur throughout the development of the EIS (environmental impact statement)."
The agency said the expanded project area "is in response to additional work necessary east of 25th Street to accommodate alternatives that would tie back into I-94 near 16th Street and better match the recently reconstructed Marquette Interchange."
WisDOT did not explain why those two things were not considered since the start of the I-94 planning.
WisDOT said it would respond "soon" to inquiries about the expanded project area and has plans for new public outreach efforts.

Elitist woman snob in action: ABC Cokie Roberts Suggests that Lower Class Women Excuse Moore Because ….. get this …. That Kind of Woman Are Used To Being Raped. Oh?
Veteran journalist Cokie Roberts said, "One of the things to keep in mind is, in the base, even women are suspicious about these sexual harassment claims.
She continued, "And part of the reason for that is that women who are not in fancy white collar jobs often have really awful things happen to them on the job. They are assaulted. They are raped. They have horrible things happen to them. And so when they hear women say, 'he talked dirty to me,' or 'he came on to me,' they think, 'big deal. That's not what happened to me. What happened to me is so much worse.' And so there's not that same sense of affinity."
More on what Cokie Roberts says about women: on how to limit the Hispanic vote.

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately.
Within the past few weeks, I've been going through a lot of strange motions; most of them not even I myself could explain. And the burden of not being able to understand the shit you're going through is a living nightmare.
However, despite these strange and cumbersome series of events, I've still tried my very best to be there for my close friends or for anyone in general, in their time of need. Because, honestly, I've always been that girl. I've always been that friend; the friend that puts you first regardless. It's like this character trait that was embedded in my soul since the day of my conception perhaps and I've never been able to deviate from that, no matter how hard I'd try.
No matter how many times I've told myself "This month is all about me!" or "I'm putting myself first!", within the first few days, I'd be in my friend's DMs helping them with whatever issue they're facing, providing all of my time and effort to assure them that they're not alone and that with support, they'll be able to overcome these issues.
I'm writing this post to tell you that I think I've driven myself to the point of complete and utter mental and physical exhaustion.
My life is a shit show right now; shit keeps piling up and I keep repressing all of it. For what reason? Because I haven't been putting myself as a top priority.
My insomnia has been at an all-time BAD. I've had 2 panic attacks for the week already. I've lost all passion for blogging. I've been crying a lot. I'm just gradually deteriorating and I have no idea what to do.
I haven't been taking care of myself and I'm paying for it now.
Even as I'm writing this post, I can't help but cry because this is possibly the first time I'm actually getting all my feelings out. And even now, I'm still repressing.
And all of this has been going through my mind for weeks.
Now I can probably guess you're wondering "Antoria, what's even the point of this post?"
I'll sum it up in 4 words: Take care of yourself.
You are your greatest investment. You have to make sure everything is right with you first and foremost. And of course it's going to be weird hearing that from me as I literally just went into detail about how I've been doing everything but. I'm learning, cut me some slack.
I recently saw a tweet being circulated where someone's friend suffered a stroke due to intense levels of stress and anxiety. Mental and physical health are so intertwined and we fail to see that. However, mental health is always deemed as less important until it's too late.
Let's take care of ourselves. Before we take care of others.

7. Oklahoma Joe's Longhorn Charcoal Offset Smoker
This is the larger version of Oklahoma Joe's Highland. It's heavier though, being made of heavier-gauge steel, it offers more cooking space and costs a lot more too
1. Dyna-Glo DGO1890BDC-D – Top-quality & Spacious Smoker at a Great Price
- Cooking surface: 1,890 square inches
- Size: 21 x 43 x 50 inches
- Material: Steel
- Weight: 83 pounds
Featuring a vertical offset design, this smoker naturally solves the number #1 problem that most horizontal offset smokers have and that is the proper flow of hot smoke, which goes upwards and not sideways.
A second advantage is that you can choose between the standard size and a wide body version, which offers you up to 1,890 square inches of cooking space on six adjustable grates and this means you can cook up to 150 pounds of meat at a go.
You'll need to assemble it before use though, and the warranty is only for a year. Still, Dyna-Glo offers it at such a low and attractive price that you'll happily overlook any small disadvantages.
It also features a unique charcoal management system, which includes a large, enameled chamber for optimally holding the charcoal in the included grate, plus a sliding and removal ash pan, which I think makes it one of the best offset smokers you can find.
2. Char-Broil 14201571 – Affordable & Easy-to-use Horizontal Smoker
- Cooking surface: 1,025 sq. inches
- Size: 28 x 60 x 51 Inches

- Weight: 106 pounds
This offer is for the Deluxe smoker from Char-Broil. It costs more than the cheaper and lower quality standard smoker from the same company, but with this Deluxe version, you get a coal grate with an adjustable height, which makes all the difference.
This Deluxe version is easier to smoke with to get better results than the standard version, so you may want to think twice if you are considering the standard version at half the price of the Deluxe.
You get porcelain-enameled cooking grates, two wheels for easier movements, and a side door on the firebox for easy replenishment of water and wood chips, making it one of the best horizontal offset smokers in the market.
There are 670 square inches of cooking space in the smoking chamber to smoke your meats with, plus 355 square inches in the firebox if you care about some hot grilling action.
3. Oklahoma Joe's 17202052 – The Ultimate Smoker Designed for Experts
- Cooking surface: 879 square inches
- Size: 33 x 57 x 53 inches
- Material: Steel
- Weight: 181 pounds
From Oklahoma Joe's comes this top-rated offset smoker: The Highland. It features a reverse flow design and offers you the opportunity to switch between traditional and reverse flow smoking easily with optional smokestack locations, a delight for many smoking experts.
You get a total of 879 sq. inches of cooking space, with 619 sq. inches available in the main chamber and 281 sq. inches available in the firebox.
This smoker features a heavy-gauge all steel construction using Oklahoma Joe's traditional 12-gauge black oil pipes. You also get a bottom shelf for storing utensils or keeping other important stuff close at hand.
In the firebox, there is a large charcoal basket made of stainless steel and designed to hold enough charcoal for long smoking hours. Another feature I'm sure will delight many expert smokers.
For the reverse flow system, there are four baffles in the package, which you can easily position to channel smoke underneath or disassemble for cleaning or to make a traditional smoker, after switching the smokestack's position.

Char-Griller also sets itself apart from other grill and barbecue makers by offering 5-year warranties on their products and that includes this smoker.
Although some will argue that all that matters is the quality of a product, I do feel that It gives you a certain level of comfort to know that your smoker comes with such a long warranty.
On disadvantages, the lower shelf can't hold smaller items because the wires are too wide and this smoker only offers a traditional grilling system with no possibility of reverse smoking for a more even heat distribution.

How to Buy the Best Offset Smokers
It's easy to get overwhelmed when you're trying to choose an offset smoker because there are so many manufacturers out there and they produce different products with slightly unique features.
In order to make the right choice, therefore, you'll need to know the most important aspects of an offset smoker, so that you'll be able to make a more informed decision.
Following are these most important aspects that you should keep in mind:
1. Traditional vs. Reverse Flow
This is one of the major differences that you'll find among offset smokers. A traditional type has the smoke and heat entering the cooking chamber from the firebox and then finding any way possible towards the chimney.
This produces hot spots in the cooking chamber, which allow you to either cook in the higher heat or the lower heat area.
With a reverse flow smoker, a steel plate below the cooking grates channels the smoke from the firebox to the other side of the cooking chamber before they get released into the upper chamber and find their way to the chimney on the other side.
The advantage of reverse flow smokers is that you get evenly dispersed heat, a more steady temperature, and an overall lower smoking temperature on the grates, leading to a better-smoked meat experience.
Their disadvantages include a longer cooking period and less fuel efficiency. There is, therefore, no better system than the other. You'll just have to choose which system that works better for you.
2. Size & Shape
You'll find offset smokers in different shapes and sizes, so you'll also need to choose what's right for you. There are smokers with horizontal and with vertical coking chambers, plus lots of other variations in design.
As for size, keep in mind that although a smoker with a large cooking chamber will cook much more meat at a go, it also needs more fuel to heat up and to keep smoker alive.
3. Material Construction
Steel is the standard material for constructing offset smokers but more important is the gauge of the steel. Look for something with a 1/4-inch gauge at least, to guarantee a more even heating of the cooker and a longer life.
4. Brand
You'll find different offset makers with their different brands in the market and each has unique features that set it apart from the rest. If you have any brand that you already know and want, then feel free to buy this brand.
If you're not focused on any brand, then keep the features that you need in mind and find a brand that offers it. The major brands include Oklahoma Joe, RiverGrille, Char-Griller, & Char-Broil.
5. Price
This is another aspect that you'll need to consider on your own. Offset smokers can cost anywhere from a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars, so you need to set a budget that you can comfortably afford and stick to it to get the best offset smoker for the money.
Keep in mind that you mostly get what you pay for. So, cheaper smokers will often suffer from uneven heat distribution, flaking paint, thinner-gauge housing and poor seals between parts.
6. Warranty
Most offset smokers are well made and will last you a lifetime when well maintained. Still, it's very comforting to have your smoker backed by the manufacturer with anything from a 1-year to a lifetime warranty.
When you need to choose between two products with every other aspect being equal, then it's always wise to choose the one with a longer warranty.
7. Temperature Gauges
Most offset smokers will include one form of temperature-gauge or the other to help you gain more insight into your food's condition. Most of these temperature gauges get installed in the cooking chamber's roof though, and thus creates a problem.
Since the chamber's lid is often higher than the cooking grates, this means that you'll never know the true temperature of anything that you are cooking, except you get one or two extra temperature gauges, especially the type with a probe that you can stick into the meat.
How to Use an Offset Smoker
If you are new to offset smokers, then you might need a little help in understanding how to use the smoker, so you can get the best results.
Following is a step by step guide that you can follow for the best results.
Step 1: Prepare the Meat
Before touching the smoker, you'll need to prepare the meat that you intend to cook first. This preparation can include trimming out fats, applying salt and spices, as well as letting the meat sit and marinade for a while.
You may also need to cut up the meat into smaller pieces, to leave it in the fridge for an hour or two, or simply leave it to marinade overnight or do anything else that'll help you get the most of it.
Step 2: Start the Fire
Charcoal fires are best started using a chimney or any similar hollow container. Place a newspaper beneath and let it heat up for about 15 minutes until the charcoals glow red and get a white ash covering.
You can now transport the coal into the firebox, which is usually the smaller of the two chambers. Open the dampers in the firebox and that of the larger cooking chamber as well. Let the fire heat up the smoker.
Step 3: Add Wood & Water
Add some hardwood pieces to increase the smoke and additionally give it a distinct flavor. Woods to choose from include hickory, apple, cherry, and mesquite.
You'll also need to fill the included water hole up to about 3/4 full with water and place it in the firebox chamber. This water will help to cool down the smoke and prevent your meat from drying up.
Step 4: Add your Food
Once the smoker has reached the desired temperature, you can then place your meats into the cooking chamber. If you're using a traditional offset smoker, then keep in mind that the grate near the firebox will cook the meat faster while the other slide will cook it slower but better.
If you have extra thermometers or temperature probes, place the thermometer on the cooking grate and stick the probes into the meat now, so you can better gauge when they get done.
Step 5: Monitor & Control
At this stage, all you need to do is to check the temperature inside the smoker and control it using the dampers. Open them wider to increase the temperature and shut them a little to lower the temperature.
You need to keep up a temperature between 200 and 250 degrees F, plus try to leave about an hour before checking on your meat because smoking is a slow process.
How to Clean an Offset Smoker
You'll need to clean your offset smoker after each smoking session for the best results. Fortunately, it's an easy and straightforward process and the following 3-step guide shows you exactly what to do.
Keep in mind that grease is best cleaned immediately after cooking when the smoker is still warm.
Step 1: Empty the Firebox
The first step is to clean the firebox and this involves removing the grate in the firebox and letting any charcoals and ashes fall to the bottom of the firebox. Use a brush to brush everything into the ashtray.
You may want to remove any large charcoal pieces that may cause you discomfort. Open up the ashtray and dispose of the ash. Finish brushing up the firebox to make sure it's neat.
Step 2: Wipe out the Cooking Chamber
Now is the time to clean the cooking chamber because you'll always get fat in it after each smoking session. The cleaning process here will depend on the type of smoker you've got.
If you've got a traditional offset smoker, then simply remove the cooking grates to see the bottom of the cooking chamber. Else, you'll need to remove the heat deflection plates as well.
Simply wipe down the bottom of the chamber and the heat deflection plates. If there are stubborn fat particles that won't budge, try scraping them off with spatula or scraper.
Be careful when scraping these parts though, because you don't want to damage the protective coating from the seasoning process. Also, avoid being too abrasive with these parts for the same reason.
Your food won't touch the steel plates or the bottom next time you're cooking, so it's not necessary to clean these parts till they shine. Just make sure they're neat.
Step 3: Clean the Grates
For the grates, you can either soak them in hot water or spray a degreaser to work on the grease. Give it 5 to 10 minutes and then work them with a wire brush, after which you can use a normal scourer to finish the job.
Coming to the end of this offset smokers review, you'll now have to make your choice based on what you've learned here about the similarities and differences of offset smokers.
You've seen vertical and horizontal smokers, as well as traditional and reverse flow models, plus those that include wooden or stainless steel parts.
The final choice is now yours to make, based on your cooking needs, your budget, and of course, on your style and the size of your family or group of friends.

Being a mom is not easy, you have to make a number of sacrifices, you have to be sure what you are eating, whether it is good for your baby or not and the list goes on. Moderating your diet plan is essential not only during the nine months when the baby is in your womb, but even after that until the time you breastfeed. This is because your baby will get all the Nutrition, Vitamins and Minerals from you; therefore, you have to eat healthy, as a wrong food choice may affect your baby health. If you just be the new mommy and confused how to maintain regular meals and what food items you need to limit while breastfeeding, so, this article is for you. Here we discuss the list of foods a breastfeeding mother must and must not have.
Foods To Include –
- Green Vegetables And Seasonal Fruits: Green leafy vegetables and fruits both may offer plenty of nutrients and are rich in Vitamin, Calcium and other minerals. Including them in your regular serving may ensure the supply of all the nutrients and vitamins to your baby and helps you stay healthy and fit. Also, it increases the production of milk in your body.
- Nuts And Seeds: These are a rich source of protein and fiber and many other minerals and vitamins as well, and if you are a vegan, so, you should add it to your diet. It not only satisfies your hunger pangs, but also ensures the good health of your baby.
- Water: Water is important to turn everything you eat into milk. Drinking enough quality as per your body need may ensure the proper supply of milk to your baby, which helps to keep them healthy. Just because water is important, doesn't mean you need to over drink, have it when you feel thirsty. Not only water, you can have unsweetened and non-caffeinated beverages.
Foods To Avoid –
- Caffeine: For every mother to be or a breastfeeding mother coffee is a big no. You shouldn't have it as it may keep your child irritated and never let them sleep properly, which is not good for their health. Coffee or any other source of caffeine like chocolate must not be in your diet until the time you are breastfeeding the baby.
- Peppermint: Almost every one of us loves peppermint and for sure use it in regular meals, but having it when you are breastfeeding is not advisable because it reduces your milk supply.
A breastfeeding mother needs to take care of their health to ensure the good health of their baby. Therefore, it is important for them to eat healthy.

What we can learn from yesterday's tech earnings-a-palooza
Big tech may have a variety of problems these days, but solid profits isn't one of them. Thursday saw strong reports from a bunch of the industry's largest companies, including Intel, Microsoft, Amazon and Alphabet (parent company of Google). And they all beat expectations. Even Twitter, which disclosed it overstated monthly active users for several quarters, posted earnings ahead of expectations, sending the stock higher Thursday.
The bottom line: The PC market may be struggling, but tech is far more diversified than it once was. Even Intel and Microsoft managed to beat expectations amid flat computer sales.
Here's a snapshot of each company's earnings report:
- Alphabet: The search giant handily beat expectations, sending its stock to an all-time high. The company saw notable growth in the Asia-Pacific region as well as from mobile search. Also, viewing of YouTube from TVs is up 70% in the last year.
- Intel: Despite a weak PC business, the chip giant bested estimates due to the strength in all the other parts of its business including flash memory, chips for the data center and Internet-of-Things chips.
- Microsoft: Like Intel, Microsoft's strong earnings came despite the weak PC business. Its cloud computing efforts are again the big story here, as the company has now reached its goal of a $20 billion annual run rate for its business cloud efforts.
- Amazon: The online retail juggernaut continues to gobble up the lions share of e-commerce and, with its Whole Foods acquisition and other moves, appears ready to swallow up a hefty chunk of traditional retail too. (BTW, Amazon now has 540,000 employees, making it the second leading employer in the U.S. after Walmart. And it has wholesale pharmacy licenses in more than a dozen states.)
- Twitter: Of all the big tech companies, Twitter probably faces the most questions about its business. Nonetheless, investors were pleased with results and sent shares up more than 18% after Thursday morning's earnings report.
- Baidu: The Chinese company also beat estimates, but shares fell as its forecast was less than what some were expecting.
For big tech, a threat from the ground up
For months, a threat to big tech has been building from the top, with numerous senators and congressmen proposing to regulate Google and Facebook. But now figures of both major parties say the unhappiness with the companies is also starting to bubble up from the bottom. The threat is dual, Axios' Steve LeVine reports: against the companies and the Washington establishment.
Why it matters: This bottom-up discontent is nascent, and polls show that big tech retains high public popularity. It's too early to say what shape the disgruntlement will assume, if and when it becomes more broadly visible. But to the degree that it takes hold and grows, it suggests a potential replay of last November's Rust Belt exasperation with the status quo — when the establishment of both parties, in addition to corporate America, were blindsided by a shakeup to the U.S. political order.
What we are hearing: From the Trump base, Steve Bannon is railing against the "Lords of Silicon Valley," and advocating the regulation of the big tech companies as public utilities or their breakup like AT&T in the 1980s. The appeal resonates with rank-and-file Republicans, who broadly believe that Facebook and Google "have it out for them," a Bannon ally tells Axios. "They feel Facebook is weaponized against conservatives."
- A lagging indicator: Among ordinary conservatives, the issue is percolating, and, like the uprising against globalization last year, is not yet fully absorbed by elected officials. "It will be a political issue on the right whether it's two, four or six years from now," the Bannon ally said.
- Bannon is stirring the pot: "Steve looks at Silicon Valley and says, 'Today, corporate power is centered there,'" the ally said. "He is saying that these are the guys running our lives, keeping our data, our content, and our communications."
- The bottom line: For conservatives, "Silicon Valley is the new Wall Street," he said.
What else we are hearing: Among Democrats, Tom Perriello, a former congressman from Virginia, warns of a tech-fueled groundswell against the political establishment. Voters are unconvinced, he said, that the technological trends of automation and Amazonization — the shift of retail shopping online — will "benefit the many."
- The lessons of globalization: "There is a deep belief that the elites of both parties blew it on globalization," Perriello said. "They underestimated the downside risk, and overestimated the upside gain. There is a feeling that the elites have never learned that lesson."
- This is not a blue-red issue: At least in Virginia, the dual issues of automation and Amazonization resonate most fully with two groups — rural Trump supporters and black urban Democrats. "These issues don't necessarily get raised unprompted," Perriello said of town halls he convenes. "But when you raise them, the whole room lights up."
Meanwhile: The companies face a more immediate regulatory threat in Europe.
Computers are learning to recognize letters like we do
One of the ways computers distinguish humans from robots is with CAPTCHAs — that little box with a weird letter combination at the bottom of your online ticket or other transaction. Researchers report they've now trained a computer to solve CAPTCHAs using less data than other AIs by borrowing the human brain's approach to the problem, Axios' Alison Snyder writes.
The big picture: This isn't about cracking CAPTCHAs, but a much larger effort to create AIs that use principles of the human brain to solve visual tasks — like recognizing a cat from a dog with not a lot of examples to go on. AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton recently told Axios he suspects the current approach of giving computers lots of rules and labeled data is limited, and that researchers should look again to the brain to make material advances in AI. This is a step in that direction.
Google in court over claims of gender pay gap
Despite claiming it has equal pay for men and women, Google finds itself in court on claims it does indeed engage in gender-based pay discrimination. The case was in a San Francisco court yesterday, though the hearing focused on initial procedural matters.
What's happening: Axios' Kia Kokalitcheva, who is following the case, points out a few things to know:
The lawsuit comes at a critical time for Silicon Valley. Three female engineers who used to work at Google allege that they were slotted into lower job tracks than their male peers that led to less pay. While women in the tech industry have said for years that gender discrimination often gets in the way of professional opportunities and earnings, Google is in a precarious position. Earlier this summer, it battled the Labor Department in court to avoid having to turn over more information about employees' salaries. The agency sought additional data after a routine audit found that there might be a systemic gender pay gap at the company. The parties are due back in court on Nov. 28 to discuss Google's request that the lawsuit not be allowed to have class-action status. If such status is granted, it could allow thousands of other engineers to join the case.
Why it matters: The case could have a big impact on the tech industry as a whole, even if it's just to show that women are willing to go to court to fight such inequities. Just this week, three female engineers filed their own lawsuit against Uber, alleging that they were paid less than men in similar jobs and passed over for promotions.
In Memoriam: Stephen Toulouse
Former Microsoft employee Stephen Toulouse, best known for his role enforcing community standards for Xbox Live, died Thursday.
In his role at Xbox, Toulouse was an early leader in the effort to combat online harassment. Before his work on Xbox, Toulouse had worked on Microsoft's cybersecurity efforts, which is where I first got to know him. (Here is a 2009 profile I did on him for CNET.)
In 2015, Toulouse went into a coma after an infection and doctors initially didn't expect him to survive, though he surprised everyone with his recovery.
Beyond his work, Toulouse was devoted to his dogs and a passionate advocate for civil discourse.
Toulouse was fond of saying: "Be excellent to each other" which is something we could all stand to do more.

Six people are safe following four challenging weekend rescues in central and southeastern British Columbia.
Search and rescue teams responded to separate calls about injured snowmobilers on Sunday, one in the Blue River area north of Kamloops and the other near the North Okanagan city of Enderby.
In both cases, Pete Wise of Vernon Search and Rescue says the sledders were winched aboard a waiting helicopter and taken to hospital, one with a broken leg, the other with a back injury.
South Cariboo Search and Rescue located two snowmobilers Sunday after the pair spent the night on Mica Mountain near 100 Mile House.
Just outside of the Big White ski area, two skiers were seperated from their group and reported missing abotu 8 p.m. Sunday night.
The Central Okanagan Serach and Rescue team managed to find the two men in their 20s abotu 3:30 a.m.
And Fernie Search and Rescue members found the two skiers late Sunday, successfully ending a 36-hour search in southeastern B.C.
Bad weather or a high risk of avalanches complicated all the rescues, prompting Wise to urge backcountry enthusiasts to better educate themselves before setting out. (CKIZ, CHBZ)

It's an exciting place, that galaxy far, far away. The Star Wars films are filled with action, romance, and humor but, up until very recently, they weren't a very inclusive place. There are a few notable exceptions, but for the most part the Star Wars films were predominately made by and marketed towards straight, white men. Following Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm and the revival of the franchise, however, that has changed. Female characters now serve as the protagonist more often than the damsel in distress, and diverse casting choices are becoming the norm, not the exception. And yet, there is one notable exception when it comes to representation on the big screen: Star Wars has yet to introduce an LGBT protagonist or major character.
The new canon novels are doing a better job of representing different sexualities. Many of the books contain references to LGBT characters, and Chuck Wendig's Aftermath trilogy features the multi-platform universe's first gay protagonist. Yet when it comes to films and television shows, things have remained consistently heterosexual. The original trilogy and the prequel trilogy can be forgiven because of the time in which the films were made, but now times have changed and more questions are being asked about whether Star Wars will broaden its horizons.
Fans and journalists have become obsessed with finding scraps of representation in the films and shows. Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) biting his lip while gazing at Finn (John Boyega) birthed a thousand fanfics, and the Finn/Poe phenomenon has become so widespread that Josh Gad even asked Boyega about it at Star Wars Celebration. Similarly, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story fighters Baze Malbus (Jiang Wen) and Chirrut Îmwe (Donnie Yen) drew similar interpretations from fans. There are countless other readings of a variety of characters as LGBT, and yet, with the exception of Aftermath's Sinjir, all protagonists remain either explicitly straight, or with their sexuality left undefined.
Disney faces perhaps a greater hurdle than other studios when it comes to LGBT representation, since the brand is uniquely targeted towards younger audiences, and there is a cultural perception that LGBT characters are more adult or explicit than heterosexual ones. In fact, until Beauty and the Beast let LeFou out of the closet earlier this year (albeit in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment), there had never been an overtly gay character featured in a Disney movie. Beauty and the Beast might have drawn controversy, but it also drew a staggering $1.14 billion at the box office, demonstrating that LGBT characters can be included in a children's film with no apparent impact on commercial success.
There is, of course, a small but noisy corner of the Star Wars fanbase that vehemently opposes LGBT inclusion (bolstered by trolls who have only a glancing interest in the franchise, but seize on any opportunity for "anti-PC" campaigning). It can be disheartening to see such comments flooding the discussion, and it's easy to lose hope, or to paint all fans with the same brush as these trolls. But these fans are not the norm. Over the past week, I have spent time with fans from all walks of life and spoken to them about the need for LGBT representation in Star Wars. Some of these fans are in their teens or twenties, while others are older. Some identify as part of the LGBT community, others do not. What is important is that these are the fans who are pushing for better representation and who are standing up against the hateful trolls. These are the fans who truly embody what Star Wars is about: love, community, courage, and hope.

Kardashian Jenner Round-Up: Post-Thanksgiving Drama
Who Didn't Spend Thanksgiving With The Fam?
November 30, 2018 10:07am
There's never a dull day when it concerns the Kardashian Jenner family. It's almost too much to keep up with sometimes! Just in case you were too busy enjoying those Thanksgiving leftovers to catch up on the latest on the family, we've got you covered with this week's round-up.
Thanksgiving Celebrations
As you can imagine, the KarJenners celebrated Thanksgiving in style this year. As Kourtney Kardashian posted on Instagram, the whole family minus one sister spent the holiday in California. Khloe Kardashian was the one to skip out on a Calabasas affair, as she went to Cleveland to celebrate alongside her baby's father, Tristan Thompson.
Since everyone (minus Khloe apparently), has a vendetta against Tristan, they voiced their concerns over Khloe spending Thanksgiving with him instead of her family. But, Khloe hit back and explained that she simply wanted her daughter to be able to spend the holiday with her father since Tristan couldn't leave Cleveland because of work obligations. So, there's that.
Kim's Plane Saga
If you follow the Kardashians on social media, you would know that the fam is known for posting about their lavish lives on occasion. And, honestly, that's why some of us love to follow them. Others weren't feeling the love recently, though. Kim Kardashian posted about her trip on her Instagram Story in which she showed off the private 747 jet that Kanye West got for them.
Now, I have no problem with this. Live and let live, ya know? (It's also goals, let's be real.) There were many others on Twitter who took Kim to task for the move, as Cosmopolitan noted. I don't think that's going to phase her, she's too busy living it up on a private jet, y'all.
Kendall's Just Having Fun
Kendall Jenner kinda has some jokes, you guys. On Nov. 23, Kendall joked about how she's the only one of her siblings to not have children, with the help of a bikini pic, of course. She wrote, "all my siblings posting their babies and shit and I'm just like…" It certainly seems like Kendall is simply enjoying her current auntie status.
Kourtney Gets Risqué
Kourtney couldn't help but share some iconic photos from her recent shoot with GQ Mexico. And boy does the mom-of-three look awesome. In case anyone tried to send any faux concern her way, leave it to Kourtney to explain exactly why she finds a freedom in posing nude. In reference to the photos, she told the magazine, per Page Six, "I am very comfortable in my own skin, I like to be naked in my house and I think it is important to show positive images of our body," So, you can definitely expect more risqué fabulousness from Kourtney in the future.
Holiday Fun For All
I have to be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of Christmas specials, Christmas music, etc (just call me the Grinch, I guess). A holiday special featuring members of the KarJenner family may have just changed my opinion on them. Kim and Kris Jenner appeared in John Legend and Chrissy Teigen's Christmas special. Listen, you put a special on with the Kardashians and the best celeb couple ever and it's guaranteed amazing television. In case any fellow Kardashian fans were looking to get into the holiday spirit, you're definitely going to have to check this special out.

Fox, coyotes and other wild animals have moved to the suburbs. Squeezed out of pure areas by encroaching improvement, deer, fox and coyote stroll down the road, and are seen even in cities. Once assembled, put a used water bottle (with sugar water and holes poked in the lid) on prime of the contraption, the other way up of course. The bees will crawl out of the lid hole, scamper down the little hallway and slurp the sugar water from the holes. Awesome! We often sell our old bottle on the junk stores. I might as nicely design my own bottle timber in the future.

The Statistical Advisory Service is based in the Centre for Environmental and Preventive Medicine (Wolfson Institute of Preventive Medicine) at Charterhouse Square, and is available to those within St Bartholomew's and the Royal London School of Medicine and Dentistry who are undertaking research. The aim of the service is to provide statistical advice which will contribute to improving the standard of research, and is provided on a chargeable basis by statisticians within the Wolfson Institute.
Researchers wishing to consult a statistician should do so at the earliest possible stage in their project: preferably BEFORE the study design has been finalised and data collection begun.
Initial contact is made with the Secretary to the Professor of Medical Statistics, who will liase with statisticians, discuss costs, and arrange an appointment on your behalf. Please note that this is not a walk-in NOR a telephone service, and most consultations take 1-2 weeks to arrange.
You will be asked to provide a summary of your project and some dates and times when you are available in the following 2-3 weeks. The summary will be used to appoint the most suitable statistician for your area of study. It will also assist the appointed statistician to prepare for the meeting and aid them in giving as constructive a contribution as possible. The summary should, therefore, include:
- the title and aim of your study
- the population(s) to be studied
- outcome(s) to be measured
- exactly in which area you are seeking advice (ie, what question(s) or issue(s) do you expect to be dealt with at the meeting?)
- Please think carefully about what you require from the consultation to ensure that the time is used as constructively as possible - the more prepared you are, the more you will benefit.
- A guide for the summary is available for download, as .doc or .pdf, from the menu to the right.
The consultation is approximately one hour.
If you think you are likely to require further consultations, please arrange a meeting with Joan Morris, the Professor of Medical Statistics, to discuss how your needs could be met. For ongoing or more demanding projects, you may need to consider possible sources of funding.
To arrange an appointment, please call the Secretary to the Professor of Medical Statistics on (020) 7882 6224 or e-mail email@example.com.

Chipping away at constraints – Practical tips to improve your manufacturing operations
Description : Some of us feel that we have to hire a guru in order to apply the Theory of Constraints.Here are some practical things all of us can do to "chip away" at a constraint - and yield major improvements to your operation. Why : Many times your manufacturing operation seems very busy yet the throughput of the entire line is poor. We often confuse busy and efficient with productive. This webinar is based upon real-life examples and how simple techniques were used to improve overall productivity without the need to spend weeks performing complex modeling and analysis. Areas Covered in the Session : • Identifying a constraint in a process by its symptoms. • How to "chip away" at the constraint. Some steps at the constraint can be done by upstream or downstream operations. • How to increase the overall throughput of your production line. • Why measuring operator efficiency at the bottleneck actually adds to the problem. Who Will Benefit: • Managers, Supervisors, Directors, and Vice-Presidents in the areas of: • R&D • Manufacturing Engineering • Design Assurance • Quality Assurance • Operations • Document Control About Speaker: José Mora is a Principal Consultant and Project Manager specializing in Manufacturing Engineering, Quality Systems, and Lean Transformations.

Fortunately I had a fellow Adventure lover in my friend Scott, and after a cruise of the Mediterranean for a friend's birthday, we hit dry land, hired a car, and made our way to this stunning part of Italy.
But I'm glad we did it this way because it really was something special, and it would have been a shame to be scared off by a few steps (as much as some of them hurt at the time!)
After sighing at how beautiful and inviting the water looked, and taking many pictures, we headed for the hills. We passed through the checkpoint to buy a ticket to walk the Cinque Terre, (which is only a few Euro so nothing to worry about) and then it was time to start winding our way through Mediterranean bushland, vineyards and olive groves.
Considering how many people do the Cinque Terre walk every year, I was surprised by just how narrow the path was in parts (and how far the drop over the edge of that narrow path was at times).
It was very much Single File time as we walked along, and I spent almost as much time watching the ground for uneven rocks as I did looking around in some sections. But that was actually part of its the walk's charm. I liked that the path hadn't been widened or adorned with safety railings.
As the paths were too narrow to easily pass people, we had to find wider spots where we could stand while walkers going the other way could get around. But that was fun in itself.
It gave us the chance to say hi to fellow adventurers, and I don't mind saying I was always up for a mini break on those steps, that seemed to mock me by stretching on again when I turned a corner. A bit like the Disneyland queues, but with a lot more exercise involved.
That said, not all of the walk was hard work. There were stretches where the path widened out, and where wooden fences guided us on our way.
And all of those steps were worth it when we were able to look back at how far we had come. I was filled with a sense of wonder and pride as I took it all in, mixed with admiration for the sweet little old lady tending to her vines (I mean, how fit must she be?)
After making our way through some more bushland, and over sweet little bridges, it was time to be rewarded with another view.
As we rounded a corner, there it was in the distance… Vernazza was waiting for us on the other side. And it was a beautiful thing.
We even made a few feline friends on the way. The bucket may say they're unloved, but I have a feeling the Cinque Terre homeless cats get more scratches behind the ear than most from tourists like me.
We were hot, we were sweaty, but we were very very happy as we reached the final stretch of our first Cinque Terre walk. If only the tourist who was walking the other way had managed to frame the shot properly.
It's such a shame, but after our cruise we didn't have enough time to spend a few nights in the villages, which is something I'll have to fix in the future (you see how this works? I simply have to go back to that part of Italy again one day).
But when we do go, I'll be sure to get onto accommodation early. Hotels along the Cinque Terre can book out well in advance, and I'm told even after making a reservation you should call beforehand to confirm, in case the hotel decides you mustn't be coming and gives your room away.
There is also a range of B&Bs and other accommodation in the villages, and the Cinque Terre Hotels website has a good list to get you started.
As time was running out, we decided to give our legs a rest, and catch a boat down to Manarola and the train to Riomaggiore and then walk back up again.
Which is when we discovered something anyone getting on a train at the Cinque Terre should know – you have to validate your ticket or you'll get hit with a rather large fine.
|Make Sure you Validate Train Tickets in the Cinque Terre
I was more than a little cranky when we bought our ticket from the nice man, walked onto the train, and within minutes were hit with a 50 Euro fine for not having validated it. Considering there were no signs, no barriers, and the nice man hadn't told us, I wasn't impressed. They no doubt make an absolute fortune from unsuspecting tourists, and if I can stop them getting just one person, I'll be very happy.
|The Riomaggiore to Manarola Stretch is the Easiest Walk
After recovering from that nasty encounter, we were ready to get the blood pumping again with another big walk. Which is when we discovered that the "hike" between Riomaggiore and Manarola was nothing like our first Cinque Terre experience.
This section was perfectly paved, featuring polite, wide walking areas with benches to sit on along the way. Some stretches were even fully covered so you didn't even have to deal with the sun on your face.
This Southern most stretch is definitely the section to take people who may prefer a gentler pace, while still enjoying killer views. And while I thought it was beautiful, there's a lot to be said for working up a sweat, climbing high into the hills of the Cinque Terre, and soaking up those incredible views.
You can either go it alone or join up with a tour like Tuscany Untouched Tours which has a special Cinque Terre tour on offer.
Take lots of water, take a camera, take a sense of humour, and most of all, a sense of adventure, and let me know what you think when you have your own Cinque Terre experience.

Expensive but inline with the competition.
By Steve on Monday, April 22, 2019The Ford Super Duty trucks are gorgeous, well made,feature-laden and very powerful. Ford often sets the bar for innovation and power but GM and Dodge leap frog quickly. All of the "big three" trucks are expensive and powerful but their styling really boils down to personal taste. However, Ford is the only manufacturer supplying its own diesel engines & transmissions for their products. I think that says A LOT about the company. I'll admit that my Platinum spec F250 has some cheap interior materials shared with the base models, which contrast with the other premium materials with my package, but it's not bad enough to really whine about. When it comes to the reliability and performance I've personally experienced, I can't say enough good things about my truck. Hauling, towing, exhaust braking, maneuverability, power and economy, tech features, etc., I have zero complaints. There are a few features I have found annoying or pointless, such as Lane keeping alert and auto high-beams, but I had the ability to deactivate them. If there were one feature I'd wish to have though, it would be the step bumper GMC offers, in conjunction with the "Man-Step" in the tailgate my truck has. To have both available would be ideal, yet I'm sure each company has patents on their designs so I'm not expecting that anytime soon.

Good Truck
By Ryan on Monday, March 26, 2018Ford needs to have a way to have options you want and not have to buy a package. I understand Ford wants you to buy a certain package but I wanted a touch start with keyless entry on a Lariat and you have to get the ultimate Package to get that. I did not want the moon roof so that was not a option for me. I will say I wanted the silver they offered but its hard to find what you want unless you want a fully loaded truck at 73,000.00. Really did not want to spend that much for just a few other options. I have now had the truck for about 7 month and it has been a great truck. Finish on the truck was not what I was expecting but after a few trips to the dealership they have worked out most of the kinks. I had a 2015 F150 before this and it was a great truck and fully loaded with the twin panel roof and all. Over all a great turck, just a few things I wish they would change.

Ubelivable power available
By Butch on Sunday, January 20, 2019Towing a 35 ft. Cardinal 5th wheel that comes in at around 18,000 lbs. The camper is a little heavier than I like, but 6.7 diesel has more power than you need. The camper is 13.5 ft. high and you go down the hwy. at 70 plus mph with no effort. Comfort and handling are great, and it's averaging 10 mpg towing and 18 mpg normal without load. When shopping for a 5th wheel camper it was the #1 truck recommended by the dealers. Love it !!!!

I'm sorry to see him go since he is one of the best doctors i've seen.
I wish him the best in retirement and for him to have a full and healthy life.
I never met a doctor who cared so much about my health.

I am really happy with how these turned out. They were a tad on the spicy side, but if you like that, you will like these. But you can also leave the Sriracha out of the recipe too.
Recently I have done several posts using Egg Roll Wrappers. You would be surprised at how versatile they really are. What interesting things have you done with egg roll wrappers? Another strange ingredient?
Make sure you get the square egg roll wrappers and not the round wonton/dumpling wrappers, however, they would also be VERY tasty. Also. Let these cool for a little while before serving them. They just came out of a 400°F grill, they're really really hot!
These Pulled Pork Egg Rolls are completely filling! Three each and we were stuffed. So if you're serving them as an appetizer, be sure that you don't give your guests too many to eat, or the main course will be too much food, if there is such a thing.
No great BBQ is complete without the right tools for the job. Napoleon has a full range of BBQ accessories that are perfect for your grill.

Go ComradeGo!
From Russia with. . .dait hairstyles, pointy shoes and a very sellish manager, the worst band in the world make a cultural leap into the heartland oi rock 'n' roll. The one-man Finnish lilm industry ('Ariel', 'Hamlet Goes business'), Aki Kaurismakl's absurdly idiosyncratic celebration at innocence abroad is unlike any other road movie. Spectacular landscapes and the tourist trail are avoided, his passive and impassive heroes are always ridiculously out oi place, and the iilm
it goes along - because it was. Says Kaurlsmaki, 'l was like an explorer. I'd never been there belore, apart lrom New York, so I just went and what I saw and lound interesting, i shot. The most interesting people I lind are irom the back yards, neverthe tront door. I'm not interested in rich middle class people who have problems in their marriage. That's not my problem.
'Halt the young lilm makers, they think they're making the greatest masterpiece in the history ol the cinema. I'm always making the worst lilm in the history ot the cinema. I don't care because I know with that attitude maybe I can do something quite good it ldon't take myselt seriously and my head is crazy anyway, so I do these things which make absolutely no sense but I lind them iunny.'
Many oi the tilm's inter-titles seem deliberately at odds with the action. 'Two weeks belore the premiere l was in a bar and I understood that ii I didn't
has the overall leel oi being made up as
make them up now nobody would have time to cut them in. l was quite drunk and with my drunken mind I tried to go through the whole iilm. And the graphic designer who actually makes the titles was standing there and on a restaurant bill I just wrote: this there and that and that. . .'
The band's manager drinks a lot too. 'He was my alter ego. I liked Budweiser because it was water and I had to keep the whole thing going so I couldn't drink anything else. A tougher thing and I would have got drunk and lose all the lilm. So I drank about 40 cans of Budweiser every day but it didn't iniluence me a lot. It kept me going, like taking gasoline ioryour body, which is your machine. I couldn't tlnd a good beer in the whole nation.' (Tom Tunney)

Cesar et Rosalie
Glasgow Film Theatre plays host to one ot France's most repected lilm-makers with the visit on Thur 26 April at Claude Sautet to introduce and discuss his most recent iilm 'Ouelques Jours Avec Moi'. An agreeable love story starring Daniel Auteuil (Jean de Florette) and Sandrine Bonnaire (Monsieur Hire), it was tirst shown in Britain at the 1988
the special screenings at GFT at live oi his earlier teatures. lt Sautet was an unlamiliar name to you up to now, then there'll be no excuses alter GFT director Ken Ingles' mini-lestival, a co-production with both the Delegation Culturelle Francaise and the Alliance Francaise de Glasgow.
Not yet as widely recognised in Britain as his contemporaries Bertrand Blier and Claude Chabrol, Sautet remains highly thought ol in France ior
London Film Festival and complements
Sautet's rench lessons
a canon oi iilms that otten uses an emotional crisis to examine the Iltestyle and aspirations ot the country's middle classes. His most popular piece. 1972's 'Cesar and Rosalie' (Wed 25 April), has couple Yves Montand and Romy Schneider disrupted by the return at her old llame Sami Frey, while 1974's 'Vincent, Francois, Paul et Les Autres' (one at tour iilms you can see on Sat 28 April) looks at a group ol longtime buddies, including Montand, Michel Piccoli and the younger Gerard Depardieu, lacing up to the personal and protessional traumas oi middle-age.
Eschewing the dark or absurd edge at a Chabrol or a Blier, Sautet's iilms opt instead tor a highly articulate mode ol psychological realism based on perceptive pertormances by a stock company oi some oi France's iinest. and with an eye tor all the telling minutiae oi social interaction. Delivered in the kind at restrained classical style that's closer to Hollywood models than the French new wave, Sautet's manner and interests mark him down as one ot the most accessible ol European tilm-makers. (TrevorJohnston) Claude Sautet visits Glasgow Film Theatre on Thurs 26 Apr, with screenings at his tilms on Wed 25 and Sat 28 Apr. See Film Listings and Film Index tor iurther details.
Mystery man
Gripping new French thriller Monsieur Hire is about an elusive neighbourhood recluse who's drawn into a murder investigation and a passionate romance. An intrigued Trevor Johnston met the director and star to discover more.
For a long time it looked as though Patrice Leconte's superb Simenon adaptation Monsieur Hire was going to be surprisingly passed over by all the British distributors, but we have Palace Pictures to thank for the fact that this remarkable piece. first screened in competition at the Cannes film festival last year. is now

29 Gauge Metal Roofing Thickness – Let's face it, you will need a new roof. You have put it off for a long time, patching here, replacing a few shingles there but it still escapes. " Thousands of homes are re-roofed each year with ordinary asphalt shingles. Conventional roofing manufacturers and installation contractors love it when customers utilize the business standard again and again. Why? Alright", you say, " I only wish to do this thing once and I would like it to continue". Bearing that in mind let us talk about the benefits of alloy design roofing.
Metal roofs are much superior to conventional roofing in many ways. Perhaps among the most important is steel roofs do not need to be replaced nearly as often. The fact is your new metal or steel roof might be the last roof which you purchase for your property. The life expectancy of metal or steel roofs may far exceed fifty decades. How old are you really likely to be in fifty decades? Your painted steel roof will not show its age. Another unexpected aspect of metal roofing is how much it weighs. Metal design roofing weighs much less than many conventional roofing products.
metal roofing and siding
So much less, in reality, you can easily install a new metal roof over your previous asphalt shingles. This saves you the costly and time-consuming task of tearing off your old roof. It also saves space on your regional landfill. Metal roofs consider from 50-150 lbs per 100 square feet. Conventional roofing material can weigh in the area of 750 lbs per square foot. Unexpected but true, metal roofs consider much less.
metal roofing and siding
Not you, you installed that new metal roof in the spring and have one less thing to worry about. Metal roofs aren't combustible, that's the reason they're rated " Class A". Utilizing metal as roofing gives you among the very fire resistant roofs that your money can buy. Peace of mind throughout wildfire season may mean a lot also. " Class A fire status", another plus for metal roofing. Utilizing metal as your roof choice can save you money in a different way, your utility bills. Cool metal roof is a phrase that popped up a number of years back. Someone got smart and figured out that lighter coloured metal design roofing actually reflects direct sun and causes less warmth to enter your property.
Well, since then, many studies have been done and metal roofing was awarded" IR" tests. "IR" stands for "First Solar Reflectivity". Guess what? The lighter coloured metal roof gets the best rating. A number of the lighter colors are " Energy Star Approved". What it all boils down to is, metal roofing can save you money on your utility bills, conserve energy and help you protect your own surroundings. Metal roofs may also be eligible for tax credits, so the authorities will actually pay you for your new roof.
