The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are demon riders Satan sends out at the beginning of the end time week to prepare the earth for the revelation of the Man of lawlessness Son of Perdition (2 Th. 2:3-4, 8-12). Satan tried to hide their demonic identity by flooding the earth with corrupt copies of the Apocalypse. That was to meant to obscure the identity the Grecian-Roman Empire Beast that rises in the end time week, creating the New World Order headed by his "seed" Adonikam the 666 Son of Perdition. Corrupt copies of the mss make it appear the four "living creatures" command these riders "Come" when in fact these are commanding John to "come and see" [through my view screen] (Rev. 6:1, 3, 5, 7 TR) . The Greek gives no indication from whence these riders come. They appear out of nowhere as John is looking on, because they are demonic.
The identity of the four horsemen of the apocalypse is manifest by their fruits (Mt. 7:18-20), they teach falsehood, cause war famine and pestilence. Those evils occur in the same order Christ said: First Seal False Christ (Rev. 6:2; Mt. 24:4-5); Second Seal War (Rev. 6:3-4; Mt. 24:6-8); Third Seal Famine (Rev. 6:5-6); Fourth Seal (Rev. 6:7-8); Fifth Seal Martyrs (Rev. 6:9-11; Mt. 24:9-10); Sixth Seal Earthquake (Rev. 6:12-17; Mt. 24:15-20).
Therefore, Christ revealed the identity of the rider on the white horse, its someone claiming "I am the Christ". Just as the Antichrist is not from God, neither is the demon rider symbolizing him.
However, more than the rider is described therefore the symbol is more than a false Christ. The bow with no arrows symbolizes the threat of violence without the need for violence. That was sufficient to gain the "crown", to go "forth conquering and to conquer."
Other scriptures are pertinent to the claim of being "the Christ". He "opposeth and exalteth himself above all called God" (2 Th. 2:4) yet demonstrates by supernatural signs and wonders "he is God". These are "contrary statements" if arranged incorrectly. They harmonize if what he opposes is the historic definition of God, every religious teaching about God and claims to be above them all.
That fits other scriptures describing "the Christ" who appears at the same time as Satan and his fallen angels appear (Nephilim) disguised as mankind's extraterrestrial "creators" who also created the hybrid superhuman "Son of Perdition" now declaring himself "elohim" above YHWH the Father and YHWH the Eternal Son (Dan. 11:36-39; 1 Jn. 2:22). His DNA altered either by men under Satan's direction or the fallen angels themselves, hence he ascended from the abyss (Rev. 11:7 comp. Rev. 9:1-3).
The "Designers" claim peace and security has arrived and through their representative the "man of sin" that the fallen away Church received as "the Christ". It is claimed the New World Order (NWO) will be a place where disease and death need not occur. We will ascend to a higher level, be like god, immortal.
Under their prompting a New World Government run by a ten king confederation with "Chancellor Adonikam" is born, a "Grecian/leopard" form of the ancient Roman Empire rises from the sea of humanity (Rev. 13:1). At first, this is benign everything is going well.
But then Satan sends in the other demon riders of the apocalypse, to create havoc and terror. He does that secretly, so mankind doesn't know he is behind the calamities afflicting the earth.
Three demon riders appear in rapid succession to create the crisis conditions that compel men seek solutions never tried before, to make rapid radical changes in human society because "there is no time" to think about it. For 3.5 years the terrifying possibility truly frightening war technology would be unleashed has upon the planet. Cataclysmic change in weather with earthquakes everywhere and civil unrest is causing famines and pestilence to afflict a fourth of the earth:
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. (Luk 21:25-26)
They are ready to try anything, the NWO by the same "aliens" who rebuilt the ancient city of Babylon with their wondrous technology seems like a good bet (Rev. 13:2-4). All the world's religions have a say in the governance of the great city, promoting unity and peace to all mankind regardless the name of the deity called upon. They are in globalist ecstasy and accordingly worship the Beast and the Dragon who gave him such authority (Rev. 13:4).
However, an Egyptian led Coalition of nations reject the rise of the Assyrian Adonikam and so are put down (Dan. 11:40). Their opposition to the Man of Sin gone he morphs declaring himself God around midweek. He commands all sacrifices to other Gods cease (Dan. 9:27). Chancellor Adonikam morphed from Christ on a white horse, to the Antichrist Son of Destruction Big Mouth Emperor of the Roman Empire Beast (Rev. 13:5; Dan. 7:8; 8:9-12; 12:7). The angel tells Daniel these particular things are finished by then, when the political power of the holy people is crushed at midweek and they must flee Babylon. But the end is not yet, its just the beginning of sorrows.
The ride of the four men of the apocalypse did not go well for Christendom. The Trumpets reveal what happened to the fallen away apostate Church and it wasn't good. The entire lot of them are slain by the demon cavalry of an angry Dragon, regardless whether they converted to worship him or not. The third of the earth that once called itself Christian is slain (Rev. 9:13-19) die horrible deaths, but the demon cavalry have no power to harm those faithful to God (Rev. 9:4; 1 Jn. 4:4).
So hated are Christians by the entire world, they won't be forgiven their past claim of love for "Creator YHWH" now thought to be an extraterrestrial "Designer creator" like the Dragon and his Nephilim. But that is discussed in The Powerful Delusion.

First stop, Matsumoto, Japan
Japan, I have been looking forward to going back for such a long time! 'The Mother' and I have not been to Japan together, I have previously gone with some girlfriends to ski and with my parents, and spent a good three months in Kyoto in a boarding school so I can 'perfect' my Japanese. Needless to say, that, I didn't end up doing Japanese for my High School Certificate and have forgotten most of my Japanese. One good thing though, it was one of the best thing that happened to me during high school and made some wonderful memories and friends.
Our first stop in Japan was Matsumoto. We arrived in Tokyo and took the JR Shinonoi Line, the train took about 2.5 – 3 hours, I can't exactly remember as I passed out and slept most of the way. Matsumoto is located in Nagoan Prefecture on Honshu, main island of Japan. It boasts 'a surprisingly metropolitan atmosphere while maintaining historical sites and traditions'. The streets are super clean, so clean that 'The Mother' would eat off it, and the people are extremely friendly! Apparently the region is famous for delicious apples and soba (buckwheat noodles).
We stayed in a cute little hotel call Dormy Inn, in the heart of Matsumoto. As 'The Mother' checked in, I was going through a couple of pamphlets and something caught my eye 'the Staffs recommendations for eating out' – PERFECT! Unfortunately, I didn't really do my research on Matsumoto so was happy to have found this little information – check out the drawing below, it is pretty neat!
We got there early, so thought we would check out the castle, completed in 1614, it is considered one of Japan's top three castles. The scenery from the castle is quite breath taking, the photo below really doesn't do any justice! It was truly magical and mind blowing.
You can enter the castle, admission is around 600 yen, and climb to the top of the stairways. From there, you can see the whole view of Matsumoto town. Below is a little sneak peak of Matsumoto town from the top of the castle, gorgeous.
The castle is located 15 mins from Matsumoto station and admission ticket also includes Matsumoto City Museum on the castle grounds, with artefacts documenting the history of the city. I really do love the scenery below!
First stop, lunch! Recommended by the staff of the hotel – Pork cutlet and Japanese curry – Takuma (Tonkatsu and curry) and my goodness, it was one of the best Japanese curry I have ever had!
It's a very casual place that serves pork cutlet and Japanese style curry. I am not a huge fan of curries usually, but I have taken a liking to Japanese curry, and had to try in Japan. We started with a salad, fresh fruits with vegetable drizzled with mayonnaise. I certainly enjoyed it but 'The Mother' just ate the fruits. He is not big on mayonnaise and didn't particular like the cabbage!
I opted for the pork katsu curry, and it was sensational. It was quite a large serving, which suited me fine – the bigger the better, I was ravenous. The pork was tender and succulent, the batter was light and extremely crunchy, even after it was poured with curry sauce. The sauce was wonderful, it was slightly spicy and not sickening, I could have easily drunk the sauce on its own, but that would seem a tad wrong!
'The Mother' is not so big on Japanese curry, so opted for something smaller. He ordered the pork loin, half size with curry. The batter was exactly the same, just a different cut of pork and it was just as good as mine. The difference is I don't think I would have been satisfied with this, it was just too small! Yes – I can eat!
The whole meal came to 1650 yen, which is about AUD$22 which I thought was pretty good!
Deliciously full, we thought we would wonder around the town. We found a park, which was walking distance from the hotel. We sat there for a while admiring and soaking up the view. It was beautiful. Life was good, things were great, if only we could stop time.
We went back to the hotel and rested for a bit before heading out for dinner. 'The Mother' wanted yakitori, something he enjoyed and we found this cool yakitori place near our hotel. The place was buzzing, lots of diners, and since we didn't have a booking, we sat by the bar, which was no problem at all! I can see the chefs in action.
We started with Tsukune – chicken skewered meatballs with quail eggs in side. Tender chicken and the surprise of a quail egg which was cooked to perfection was just amazing. We both really enjoyed this dish.
I couldn't help but order fried chicken wings – hot deep fried chicken wings. They were tasty, I sense that they were battered with beer as it had a strong beer flavour. It was spicy and crunchy, and absolutely soft and juicy on the inside. It was a winner!
Next the chicken skins – these were crunchy and soft at the same time. Tiny chicken skins barbequed with salt. It was good.
The pork neck salad was incredibly! Ever since that pork neck dish at Gi Kee in Hong Kong, I have to order it if it's on the menu. The pork neck was deliciously succulent and tender and was absolutely wonderful. I could have easily eaten the whole thing on my own!
The skewered rolled pork meat and mini tomatoes was 'The Mother's' favourite. He loves the juicy roasted tomato that bursts in your mouth.
The grilled chicken breast filled with yuzu flavoured chilling was nice but nothing to rave about. The yuzu sauce was delicious but the chicken breast was so so.
Last but not least, just a stick for me, as I could still eat, chicken thigh carcass meat with pong vinegar was the perfect way to end. It was so tender that it required absolutely no chewing, and just melted in your mouth.
It was a fantastic meal, we both certainly enjoyed the meal and was absolutely stuffed. The meal costs about 2500 yen, which is about AUD$33, which isn't too shabby at all!
For dessert, we thought we would get something from the convenience store. There are so many different types of ice cream that 'The Mother' wanted to try as many as he can. I was a tad full but couldn't help but have some of his crème brule ice cream. Chocolate coated, with crème brule flavoured ice cream – it was just to die for! I loved it! I probably should have got one for myself but knew I would be sick.
Matsumoto is a beautiful city, it is Nagano-ken's second largest city and has been around since at least the 8th century. I love the view of the Japan Alps and it is a transit hub for Japan Alps National Park and Kiso Valley. I would recommend going there, but don't think you need to stay more than a day, two max.
Next stop, Nozawa Onsen for a day of skiing.

Sushi Tei, Sydney
We had a couple of friends, J and E from Canberra in town, we have known them for a while now and travelled with them to the Caribbean a while back – one trip I will never forget!
I had originally wanted to go to Makoto, it has been such a long time but the queues as per usual were unbelieveably long and I was too hungry and impatient to wait. I remembered another foodie friend of mine, telling me about this recently opened sushi place, Sushi Tei, Japanese sushi chain which originated from Singapore. There is one at Chifley Square and they had recently opened another branch on Liverpool Street just a block down from Makoto.
The restaurant was new, and relativey empty, which suited us fine. The menu was the same as that from Chifley, it was glossy and gigantic!
It is also self ordering, I can't remember if the Chifley branch is self ordering, as it has been a while since I went back. It took us a while to figure out what we wanted and even longer to figure out where things were on the order sheet.
We started with the sashimi salad with special 'Sushi Tei' dressing. The salmon sashimi were fresh and absolutely wonderful. The salad were also fresh, and crisp.
We ordered a plate of sashimi – salmon, tuna and king fish. We couldn't get enough of sashimi and wanted more.
Next the salmon and prawn sushi. I personally prefer sashimi to sushi, sometmes I just find I end up eating too much rice and it makes me feel a little bloaty.
The deep fried soft shell crab were wonderful. Unfortunately, there werw only three crabs and four diners. 'The Mother' and I 'shared' one, but he ate majority as it is one of his favourite dishes. The batter was light, I found it to be a tad oily but it was still tasty.
I can never go pass the chicken karage – still in search for the best chicken karage in Sydney. The chicken was lightly battered and then deep fried, the chicken was succulent and juicy. Eaten with a dollop of mayonnaise it was stupendous!
E and J wanted some gyoza and they were cooked to perfection – browned on the bottom, and juicy on the inside. I had to carefully eat these, as last time, I accidentally squirted the juice on someone's face and I was highly embarrassed!
Last but not least, agedashi tofu, another favourite of mine. J is not a big fan of tofu, but only cause he hasn't had 'proper' agedashi tofu and we were right. He liked them! The agedashi tofu was slighty crunchy on the outside and soft and delicate on the inside. The tofu was so soft that it really required no chewing – it was delightful.
It was aboslutely wonderful catching up with both E and J. It's not very often that they come to Sydney and we promise to come and visit you both in Canberra soon.
Sushi Tei is no Makoto, as it is still my favourite sushi place. The restaurant did get busier as the night went on. It is a very casual place that serves pretty decent Japanese food. The watier and waitresses were tentative and price very reasonable.

Lunch at Gold Harlan, LKF
I have heard wonderful things about Gold Harlan which is situated inside the Lan Kwai Fong hotel. I was meeting a friend for lunch and was really looking forward to the meal.
Harlan Goldstein requires no introduction, any food lover in Hong Kong would recognize his name. He has been associated with many restaurants in Hong Kong and his new-ish baby is Gold.
Lunch was a set course – three courses which consists of a salad buffet, main and dessert for HKD 220.
We were presented with a bread basket – focaccia, baguette and bread sticks. Not warm unfortunately, but they were fresh and still wonderful.
Ir and I weren't super hungry so we didn't have any of the salad buffet. I was looking at other diners and it did look pretty good. I thought it was only salad, but they also had smoked salmon, cold meats and cold seafood. I probably should have at least had a plate of it.
For mains, Ir had the Singapore style seafood laksa, clams, prawns and squid. It looked wonderful and it was. It wasn't as authentic as that from Singapore or Malaysia but close enough – the flavours and the spiciness, it was 'pretty good'. The seafood were fresh and delightful.
I opted for the Parma ham and taleggio wrapped organic chicken breast, soft polenta and salsa romesco. I thought the serving was a tad small. Tiny and thin chicken breast wrapped with ham. It was tender, the ham really gave it that extra saltiness and flavour. The polenta and salsa romesco were fantastic. My only gripe would be the size of the chicken breast.
For dessert, we both opted for a scoop of ice cream with fruits. Ir had the rum raisins and I had the nutella flavoured and it was one scoop of hazelnut and chocolate goodness! It was served with a couple slices of fruits which suited us just fine.
The restaurant got extremely busy at about one. We both arrived at noon and ordered straight away, however, it took a good hour for our mains to come! Ir had to inhale her food as she had to go back to work which was not good. We did ask the status of our meal several times, I think an hour to wait for our mains is a little excessive!
The waiters and waitresses were tentative, my only gripe would be the slowness in which the food came out! We had to ask them to bring out the dessert before Ir finished her main as we weren't sure how long it would take!
Overall I thought it was OK. Ir seemed to have enjoyed her laksa when it finally arrived! I don't think I will be coming back anytime soon though. I know a good friend of mine dined here and was appalled that they had spelling mistakes on their menu!
It was great catching up with Ir, hopefully I will see you soon.
Not sure if dinner is any better, I didn't get a chance to check it out but if you have, let me know. Did you have to wait over an hour for your food?

Breakfast at Cafe Mint
Thought I would give the overseas eating posts a break and write about this wonderful cafe in Surry Hills.
I came here with B, my breakfast partner in crime. There is really no shortage of restaurants and cafes in Surry Hills but one that opens at 7 am is difficult! Thankfully and hopefully we don't have to look for one at 7 am for a while!
Cafe Mint can be found Crown Street. It's a tiny and cozy cafe which serves Middle Eastern food. There are limited sitting outside if you don't mind sitting on the foot path. The inside can probably fit about 20 people max. The food is simple yet tasty, the menu includes 'many of the favourites from Hugh Foster's previous restaurant Fez'. Servings generous and the menu had some interesting dishes which I would definitely comeback for!
Started with flat white and nothing worst than starting the day with bad coffee. The coffee was wonderful, strong and aromatic and hot – just the way I like it.
B opted for the bircher muesli with fresh fruit ($13.50). The bircher was lovely, moist and flavourful. The vanilla yogurt, and fruits a wonderful complement. B certainly enjoyed it.
I opted for something different – breakfast couscous with yogurt poached fruit and pistachios. It was a very large serving and a never ending couscous. The couscous was sweet with a strong fragrant. The yogurt was a little sour but worked well with the sweetness of the couscous. The dried peach and pistachios were a delicious addition! It was a little rich for my liking but it sure was tasty! I've not had anything like it!
Cafe Mint did not disappoint, definitely keen to try their dinner. Not open on Mondays and they do not take reservations.
It was so lovely to catch up with B. Back now so looking forward to our next breakfast venture!

18 Grams coffee
'The workaholic' is one of my dearest friend from school. We have been friends for a while now and even though we live in different countries, I still consider her as one of my closest friend! Life would be so dull without her!
We caught up for a breakfast whilst I was in Hong Kong. She loves coffee as much as I do, difference is she knows how to make them, proper machine and I only know how to drink it!
We went to 18 Grams, a newish establishment, situated on Cannon Street in CWB and this place is tiny! Ten people maximum!
I started with Americano, black with no sugar. I wanted to taste the smoothness and texture of the coffee. It was indeed smooth with no after taste! It had a strong aroma which I liked. I have to admit, it was a pretty good damn cup of coffee! Either that or my palate has become adjusted to Starbucks as I would have had a couple by now and it has been switched off! No the coffee was good! Why weren't you open when I was living there?
I didn't have any of the muffin, however, 'The Workaholic' thought it was so so. She had the flat white and it was wonderful, however, it was a little lukewarm for my liking.
It's a cute little cafe. As we sat there discussing life, we noticed a number of people coming in to buy that cup of happiness. They do serve breakfast, eggs, toasts, and muesli – will have to try again when we go back next.
I heard that they have opened another branch in Mongkok. I have to say, this is a little treasure! Let me know what you think coffee lovers!
We caught up again the next day for breakfast, again at CWB. We went to Leighton Bakery. The line was long but it moved quickly and before we knew it, it was our turn. I'm not usually a fan of lines but this was an exception!
I have always wondered about the egg sandwich here. Is it as good as the Australian Dairy Co? No! Bo-Lo'Gne? Definitely not! The egg wasn't scrambled, more like a beef pattie but egg and corn beef. The bread was warm and a little sweet like a brioche. It surprisingly worked well together but my favourite is definitely Bo-Log'Gne.
We managed to grab a quick cup of coffee at Coffee Corridor. 'The Workaholic' truly do like her coffee! It was good, however, the sister cafe, Coffee Assembly, is infinitely better!
As always, it was wonderful to catch up with you, my dear workaholic friend!
If you haven't been to 18 Grams, it's a must visit! It definitely is a great find!

Tango Restaurant with food crew Hong Kong
I couldn't wait to catch up with my fellow food lovers in Hong Kong. Without them, I wouldn't have gained so much knowledge and love for food and not to mention those extra kgs and cholesterol level! We caught up for lunch and I left it to the trusted Bon Vivant to pick a place.
We went to Tango, an Argentinian steak house opened by the same group as Bistecca in LKF, Hong Kong. The layout and the ambience resembles that of Bistecca.
We all opted for the set lunch, two courses for HKD 98 and an extra HKD30 for dessert. The options were surprisingly good if you are a meat lover! Not so great for the vegetarians unfortunately.
We started with bread, it was warm and nice but nothing special. We were all hungry so dug right into it.
Sg and I both ordered the same thing and started with broccoli and carrot soup. It was a relatively good serving and the soup was absolutely wonderful! Thick, creamy and full of flavours!
SK ordered the octopus ceviche with tomato salsa dressing. SK thought it was a 'small serving' and nice.
Both mochachocolata and Bon Vivant had the 'Humita' – sweet corn and green onions empanadas. An empanada each! The waitress did not tell us that it was one each as she placed the wooden platter on the table. We all sat there for a good minute or two waiting for the second wooden platter. Both said it was good and had interesting flavours! Probably should have tried some but was quite content with my soup.
For mains, Sg and I had the charred octopus served on a bed of salad with tomato and avocado. It was beautifully done, the octopus were warm and tender, the avocado was slightly hard but worked really well with the octopus and salad. It was a light and refreshing dish which I needed. The sauce was a little creamy but wonderful.
SK and SC had the sirloin with ham, mozzarella and tomato. It was the thinnest sirloin I have ever seen. It was paper thin and a little on the cremated side. SK did say that it was a little hard but enjoyed the cheesy goodness. It was a rather small serving I thought. Poor SK, two small servings in a row!
Mochachocolata and Bon Vivant had the pork sausage with roasted potatoes and garlic dressing. The sausage was on the pink side, extremely tender and scrumptious. I was surprised that I didn't order this but I am trying to break that habit of ordering pork all the time!
I was stuffed! However was happy to pick at someone's dessert. Majority of us ordered the Churros with dark chocolate. I love Churros and these were superb! Thought the dark chocolate was too over powering – it was better on it's own!
SC opted for the coconut pastel tres leche which was served cold in the cutest jam jar! I wasn't a huge fan of this, it was just too coconut-y for my liking.
I thought my meal was good, not sure what the other diners thought though! The servings were a tad on the small side – is it me or has the servings in Western restaurants gone smaller?
It was absolutely wonderful catching up with you all! I have missed you and can't wait to dine with you again in a few months!
Overall I thought service was ok, food good and total bill came to HKD150 pp which wasn't too bad!
Beef is really their specialty and I probably should have tried it. The non set menu looked good though, but will it be as good as Porteno in Sydney?

Gi Kee Seafoood Restaurant
I wouldn't have found this place if our friend J1 hadn't recommended. Situated above a wet market in Happy Valley, Gee Kee Seafood Restaurant is like a food court. Run by award winning Chef Chan Chung Fai this place is reasonably cheap and relaxing.
'The Mother' and I came here with three other friends, J1, J2 and N (who has the coolest job in the world! She buys shoes and travels to Paris and Milan regularly. Quick low down, she has an amazing shoe collection and we are the same size! *hint*). Anyway, we left the ordering to N and as always, she ordered well!
We started with the pipis in black bean sauce. The pipis were fantastic and black bean sauce was absolutely delicious, however, rather disappointing that there were so many empty shells and no meat!
The spinach cooked in garlic was beautifully cooked. It had that 'wok' aroma and taste which I loved!
The fried chicken cooked in garlic and fried onions were one of the best I have ever eaten. Tender, succulent chicken with added 'crunch'. The fried onions really gave it that extra flavoring.
The scallops with vermicelli with spring onions is a favourite of mine. Juicy and relatively large scallop steamed to perfection. However, too much spring onions for my liking.
Fried pork neck was incredible! It was incredibly tender, incredibly succulent and absolutely frigging fantastic! I could not stop eating it, it was that good and the highlight for me that evening.
Deep fried prawn cooked in egg was good but there's something about peeling prawns at restaurants. I'm too lazy but you had to eat the shells anyway with this which I didn't enjoy. It was nice but not a favourite of mine.
The abalone with broccoli was divine! I love good abalone and this was just that. It was so soft that it required no chewing.
Of course there were more food! N couldn't let us go hungry at night. Fried rice – I was getting really full by this stage so had a mouthful. Like the spinach, it had that wonderful 'wok' aroma. It was tasty but I was stuffed!
It was a wonderful meal with friends, we talked, we laughed and reminisced. We didn't have any beer though, we were all a little seedy from drinking beer and playing darts from the previous night. I even got a couple of bulls eye in a row! It was totally sweet and no, it wasn't beginners luck!
The total meal came to HKD1300 for five people which was reasonably cheap. We definitely ate well and thanks N for ordering! Compare to North Point wet market I think I prefer this one. The fried chicken and pork neck won me over!
Of course the meal wouldn't be complete without dessert. We all waddled down to Causeway Bay for dessert at Lucky Dessert. No guessing what I had – durian and sago and WOW! Awesome!
Delightfully full, 'The Mother' and I waddled back to our hotel. Great evening!

A strange void on Monday nightsSomething doesn't seem right with the world when Monday Night Football, which for 35 years has been a staple of prime time network television in the fall, will exist no more as we know it after this year. The latest bids for NFL contracts were announced yesterday, and MNF will move to ABC's sister network, ESPN, which means that the coveted Monday Night game will no longer be on free local television.
Compensating for this new reality will be the fact that Sunday Night Football, which has served for many years as one of ESPN's staple programs, will lead the return of the NFL to NBC, which for years covered the AFC with vastly superior coverage to CBS. MNF has long functioned as the NFL's version of the old Major League Baseball Game of the Week precisely because it was on network television and was the featured game that week, and the only one that day. It will be interesting to see if the Sunday night game can fill that void.
Something seems strangely wrong with the sporting landscape not to have an NFL game on network television on Monday nights. MNF has become such a staple of the American sports landscape, that not having it as we know it will leave us a huge void in the world of sports culture, a void a doubt NBC can fill, no matter how hard they try.

Apollo Paver, Plant Prove a Match for Challenges in Bhutan
Construction Development Corporation Limited (CDCL) has built its business around professionalism – specifically, providing high quality in a timely fashion.
Helping the Bhutan business deliver on its promises are Apollo WM 6 HES Mechanical Paver Finishers. The machines are responsible for CDCL's construction of roads, bridges and other infrastructure projects.
The semi-governmental organisation has completed some large projects, including resurfacing 200 km between Phuentsholing and Punakha. It also handled a large resurfacing project in the city of Thimphu.
The projects required high quantities of mix, and occurred on hilly terrain and narrow roads. The pavers were up to the challenge, helping CDCL successfully complete the work.
"The finishing and quality of work is good," the company said, adding that the pavers are highly reliable, too.
It should come as no surprise then that CDCL again turned to Apollo when it was time for an asphalt-mixing plant. Officials visited the Apollo factory and nearby drum-mix sites. "Apollo was the superior brand as compared to other makes," the company concluded.
CDCL purchased a DrumMix 60. It recently took delivery on the fully automated plant, and expectations are high.
The plant purchase also included a bitumen barrel decanter unit, which will eliminate the need for manual feeding.

BANGKOK — A plane carrying senior Laotian government officials crashed Saturday morning, leaving at least four people dead, Laotian diplomats said Saturday.
Two major figures in the security apparatus of the authoritarian Laotian government were killed in the crash: the deputy prime minister, Douangchay Phichit, and Thongbane Sengaphone, the minister of public security, according to two Lao diplomats.
For a Communist party that relies on force and intimidation to stay in power, the loss of the two officials who were considered by many to be the most powerful people in the security apparatus was a significant blow. The governor of Vientiane province was also killed in the crash.
In addition to serving as deputy prime minister, Mr. Douangchay was also the defense minister and a member of the Politburo, the highest decision-making body of the Communist party. Mr. Thongbane, the chief of public security, was feared in the country and was said to be one of the officials leading a crackdown against dissent over the past 18 months.
The crackdown included the disappearance of the most prominent civic leader in the country, Sombath Somphone, an agriculture specialist who led efforts to liberalize the hermetic Communist leadership.
Mr. Sombath was stopped at a police checkpoint in December 2012 and has not been seen again.
The Lao News Agency posted photos on its website on Saturday showing the mangled wreckage of the plane, an Antonov AN-74TK300. The news agency, citing a statement from the prime minister's office, said that it was a Laotian Air Force aircraft and that it had crashed in the village of Nadi, west of the Xiangkhouang airport and not far from a major archaeological site of prehistoric carved stone vessels, the Plain of Jars.
The authorities were "helping to rescue the survivors," the news agency said, without offering details about the number of people killed.
The plane was traveling from the capital, Vientiane, to the mountainous northeastern province of Xiangkhouang, where the officials were planning to attend a military ceremony.
State television in Laos showed footage of rescue workers recovering debris from the aircraft, which appeared to have crashed in a jungle-covered area.
A news presenter said the crash occurred around 7 a.m. "The cause of the plane crash is still unknown," the presenter said.
The crash was the second in Laos in the past year. Last October, 49 people were killed when a Lao Airlines flight crashed in southern Laos.
The Foreign Ministry in neighboring Thailand said it had "received reports" about the crash.
"There were about 20 passengers on board, of which most were of high stature," said Sek Wannamethee, a spokesman for the Thai Foreign Ministry.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The man who could be replacing Adrian Peterson in Minnesota also wears No. 28. He made it clear Thursday morning he won't be doing that with the Vikings.
Running back Latavius Murray posted an Instagram picture of himself and Peterson at the Pro Bowl after the 2015 season, along with a message indicating he would switch numbers in Minnesota.
There wasn't a thought in my mind to try and wear or ask for the #28. I have too much respect for AP and so much respect for what he's done and what he means to this organization. Many people don't know, but I wore the #28 as a kid because of Fred Taylor who played for the Jaguars at the time. When AP came onto the scene and Fred retired, he was my reason for keeping #28. I want to say to Vikings fans: I'm not here to replace #28, he's irreplaceable. I'm not here to be #28, there's no one like him. I ask that you accept me for the player I am and know that I'm here to give you all I got and to win #skol
Peterson, when informed of Murray's gesture, told ESPN's Josina Anderson via text message: "That's what's up. #AllLove."
Murray's deal is for $15 million over three years, with $3.4 million guaranteed at signing, according to a league source. The running back can get $5.15 million more in guaranteed money if he's on the roster by the third day of the 2018 league year.
The Vikings, after meeting with Eddie Lacy during the weekend, signed Murray at the end of a two-day free-agent visit. Murray, who scored 12 rushing touchdowns for the Oakland Raiders last season, went to the Pro Bowl after running for 1,066 yards on 266 carries, while catching 41 passes for 232 yards in 2015.

Lessons From a Coach
The last year has really been a roller coaster, and I have had a lot of great things happen at the Mash Mafia Compound. Tonight I want to give all the younger coaches some insight, suggestions, and warnings. I want to leave this world having made this industry a little better than I found it. To do this I want to make the young coaches better than I will ever be. That way I can assure Baby Mash has the greatest coaches on earth.
Here is a little insight for all of you up and coming coaches out there. This is for you Athletic Performance, Weightlifting, and Powerlifting coaches seeking to be the best coaches in America. My goal has always been to be the best coach in America. To accomplish this mission, I have researched, studied, met coaches, and made friends with the best in the business. I suggest you have the same goal, to be the best. To do this you should never be satisfied with the amount of knowledge that you have. The second you think that you know everything, I suggest looking for a new career or retiring.
Get in the trenches! Never stop your journey under the bar! Dave Tate and Jim Wendler are both friends of mine, and both of them gave me this bit of advice. Staying in the trenches and leading from the front, allows you to take a General Patton approach. Athletes follow people that can still perform the movements that they teach. It's just human nature. When I worked with Louie Simmons, I listened to every word that he said because I still respected him as an athlete as well. It's just human nature! It's just hard to take advice from out of shape broken down people.
Love your athletes! This and this alone will cause you to go to any lengths. If my athlete wants to play Division I sports, then I am going to go out of my way to bring them the best program possible. You will also want the best for them. You will prepare them emotionally, physically, and more importantly spiritually. I want all of my athletes to be prepared for their future, and I want them to know what true joy is all about. I want them to know about purpose.
Here is a big one that I want you all to listen to. If there are athletes in your facility with conflicts, have them work things out immediately. Rumors, gossip, and silent anger can kill a facility. A coach's job is to lead their team. That doesn't mean just during the few hours a day that you train them. It means all the time, and in all areas of life. If you don't have the time to do this, find a new career. Dave Tate also told me that if there was someone that was a cancer and wouldn't buy in, to let them go swiftly and quickly. This is truth.
1. Desire to be the best and never stop striving!
2. Stay under the bar!
3. Love your athletes!
4. Keep the atmosphere perfect!

Time to sort through our in-box and Twitter account and answer more of your questions. Following are your messages about dry bulk, the euro and Wal-Mart.
@ Flippwedge
What do you make of the dry bulk rates?
I'm optimistic on dry bulk, says Karen Finerman. I think we're getting back into an equilibrium that I like. I'm bullish and an owner of Navios .
But she adds, dry bulk is a totally different market than oil tankers, LNG and others.
@ CraigDC85
With the run higher in the EUR/USD where does it go from here?
"Germany came out and said it wouldn't succumb to easy cheap money," says Brian Kelly. "That should put some kind of floor under the euro. I wouldn't be a buyer here but on a pullback I would. It wouldn't surprise me if it hits 150."

The Environmental Protection Agency reported that in "2009, Americans generated about 243 million tons of trash and recycled and composted 82 million tons of this material, equivalent to a 33.8 percent recycling rate." Really?? How much is 243 million tons? Well, that's enough waste to fill nearly 22 million garbage trucks. With regards to size, an elephant weighs roughly one ton. But, this post is not to scare you with or overwhelm you with staggering statistics; it's purpose is to visualize conservation and awareness as mindset that will help us all move forward and ensure a healthy future. In fact, proper planning should start with becoming more aware in both internal and external environments. This is a step that is often overlooked in the business environment and can lead to costly mistakes.
When applied to nature, increasing awareness is our first line of defense, cascading outwards to conservation and recycling. Recycling is the fastest and easiest way to get involved. Although it may seem as though everyone recycles, we don't! Many people feel it's time-consuming and a hassle. However, it is actually very easy, constitutes proper planning, and ultimately reduces long term costs. Since not all trash is recovered from the waste stream, it gets illegally dumped across America or put into the world's oceans. In view of that, PADI has an awesome aquatic conservation project, ProjectAWARE which focuses on two major ocean issues: Sharks in Peril and Marine Debris.
So let's look at some basic methods to start engaging in and supporting the earth's conservation efforts.
Precycle when you shop
- As a consumer it is important to purchase recycled goods.
- Manufacturers such as L.L. Bean, Patagonia, JanSport, and others are using recycled soda bottles for fiber in sweaters and pullovers.
- It's for everyone who is interested in living in a clean environment.
- Will Steger, author of Saving the Earth, says, "There will always be another landfill cannot be the words we live by. The time for the shift from a throwaway society to conserving society has arrived."
- Make it easy to recycle—this is especially important in the business environment.
- Recycling is a very satisfying act and you'll probably unknowingly be giving back to your own community. Many high schools and colleges athletic tracks are now being built with rubber from recycled shoes and tires. Thus, there's no limit to what can and can't be recycled.
Identify new ways to recycle
- Groups like Freecycle and Recycler's Exchange take a new twist on conventional recycling.
I challenge you to live by these words "reduce, reuse, and recycle"… it can be as simple as
- Reduce your use of plastic bottles simply by using a water filter and reusable containers such as Nalgene bottle—Oh yea, and make them BPA FREE too.
- Find constructive was to reuse your waste. For example, simple art projects with your children.
- Finally, I challenge you to learn what you can and can't recycle and post below so we can all learn together.

Generating Elements for NULL Values Using the XSINIL Parameter
The ELEMENTS directive constructs XML in which each column value maps to an element in the XML. If the column value is NULL, no element is added. By specifying the optional XSINIL parameter on the ELEMENTS directive, you can request that an element also be created for the NULL value. In this case, an element that has the xsi:nil attribute set to TRUE is returned for each NULL column value.

Alexander Skarsgard Set to Star in BBC/AMC Miniseries 'The Little Drummer Girl'
Big Little Lies and True Blood alum Alexander Skarsgård has signed on to star in the BBC/AMC miniseries The Little Drummer Girl.
Director Park Chan-wook is to begin helming the six-part adaptation of John le Carré's spy novel in early 2018. Florence Pugh is to co-star in the project, which is set in the 1970s.
Is 'Big Little Lies' Returning for Season 2?
Author Liane Moriarty is not closing the door on another chapter of her book adaptation.
"To play an enigmatic man who hides his true feelings deep inside, I couldn't think of a more fitting actor. I believe Skarsgård's growing depth as a great character actor and his soaring energy will elevate The Little Drummer Girl to a high place," Park Chan-wook said in a statement Tuesday.
The story follows an actress who meets an Israeli intelligence officer and gets entangled "in a complex and high-stakes plot," a synopsis said.
The BBC and AMC recently adapted le Carré's The Night Manager for the small screen.

We bought a certificate two years ago for service1.domain1.com and it is valid up to 2018. The problem is that domain was managed by third party and they are going to drop that sub domain.
My question is can we use the certificate bought for service1.domain1.com on service1.domain2.com?
Our server is IIS 7.5. I create a website and put service1.domain1.com and service1.domain2.com together in bindings on the same website. Both https://service1.domain1.com and https://service1.domain2.com seem to be working perfectly when I view them on browser. If we keep that way and our third party dropped their domain service1.domain.com, can https://service1.domain2.com still work with that certificate?

this is a test Who We Are Landing Page
By Planit Testing
Today's smartphone-centric digital world is set for a major disruption. The catalyst? Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the rise of the personal digital assistant.
At our recent "Evolving Your Delivery to Meet Customer Demands" event in Sydney, Salesforce Senior VP for APAC, Dan Bognar, spoke about how organisations can take steps to ensure that their customer-focused strategies and investment decisions are aligned with the future customer experience.
Dan opened his presentation by talking about the Fourth Industrial Revolution, a term originally coined by the World Economic Forum, to describe where we are at.
To put it into perspective, the first revolution was based on steam and gave rise to the railway and goods transport industries, which in turn opened up new markets. The second revolution was based on electricity and facilitated mass industrial production and the ability to build goods at scale.
The third revolution, which many of us may have worked through, was the personal computer revolution. It consisted of the move from client server to the desktop, and then the rise of mobile devices, social media and apps.
The fourth revolution, which is where we are at today, is one clustered around the idea of intelligence or, more specifically, artificial intelligence (AI). This is such a significant technology that the CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai, recently said that "AI is one of the most important things that humanity is working on." What's more, he said it is "possibly more significant than the discovery of electricity or fire".
Dan said that AI is already starting to make an impact in our day-to-day lives. However, in this current generation, AI is proving useful at focussing on a single task, but it still lacks the creativity and multi-tasking ability to draw any parity with the human brain. This is still a long way off from becoming reality.
In an example demonstrated during Google I/O 2018, Pichai showed how Google Assistant can make a call and book a haircut appointment. As you can see in the below video, the Assistant carried out a complicated conversation during the call, and handled it well when the call didn't go as expected.
However, it should be pointed out that this Assistant can only book a haircut appointment and nothing more. Like many AI at the moment, it has been designed to excel at a single task.
The fourth revolution is significant because the adoption of that technology is accelerating faster than ever before. Additionally, these technologies are converging at a massive scale.
When we start thinking about the future, Dan said it is important to consider the different types of technology that are and will be powering the fourth revolution. Although the focus is on AI, there's much more happening behind the scenes.
Not only is imperative to look at all these different types of technologies, it is worthwhile to understand which of these will be important in the future. Doing so will provide valuable insight into which ones will be essential to the customer experience.
AI, bots, voice, Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), cyber security and Internet of Things (IoT) are all expected to have a high impact in the next three to five years. Blockchain, edge computing and VR/AR are wild cards that may or may not mature in the coming years, while quantum computing, 5G networks, and robotics will have a long-term impact.
When it comes to the customer experience, the way consumers are interacting today with smartphones and apps will likely change to include personal digital assistants. A digital assistant will be tied to you, will know who you are, be platform independent, and can cross any of the technologies available to a user.
Dan said digital assistants won't be of a single focus like current AI. There will be a range of things these assistants can do, such as helping with scheduling, payments or shopping.
The advent of true digital assistants will be a significant development, particularly in the context of a user's daily life. Currently it's possible to use devices such as Google Home and Amazon Alexa to ask for information while in the house, though this experience typically ends once people leave their house.
Dan expects that in the future the experience will remain consistent as the digital assistant follows us around. Then we will have the potential to use the digital assistant while in the car or at work for added convenience and productivity.
The idea of a digital assistant tied to you that follows you around wherever you go may be off-putting for some people, as well as for the technologists at organisations. However, we've been here before.
We've been through the advent of Cloud computing, social media, and smartphones, and we're at the tipping point of AI. Many, if not all, of these technology trends required a shift in the way we interact and engage digitally, and the adoption of digital assistants will require a similar approach.
It's a challenge that Salesforce is not shying away from, with Dan highlighting how the company has included Einstein Voice in its product, which enables users to use their voice to interact with Salesforce, such as showing sales pipelines or receiving a voice briefing on the schedule for the day. The company has also recently announced Einstein Bots, which enables companies to build voice-driven bots for customer service, which can then be deployed on end user devices such as Google Home or Amazon Alexa.
Dan said the above two technologies are examples of big companies like Salesforce adopting these big ideas from the consumer world and bringing them to the enterprise one. Not only is it an exciting time to be working with AI, but Dan hopes it provides us a preview of what the future holds.

Park Jin Young Shares His Passion For Singing During JYP Nation Concert
Park Jin Young returned to his roots and stood on stage as a singer and not just as the head of his company, JYP Entertainment.
On August 7, about 6000 fans gathered for the "2016 JYP Nation Mix & Match" concert.
Singers from the label, including Wonder Girls, 2PM, Jo Kwon, Min, Fei, Baek A Yeon, Park Jimin, GOT7, Bernard Park, G.Soul, DAY6, and TWICE, all came together to fill the stage with great performances.
Park Jin Young gave a passionate duet performance of "I Have A Girlfriend" with G.Soul. He then talked with the fans, explaining, "This has just been an appetizer of what's to come. Now the real performances will start. If we just did solo performances, we'd just sing our two songs and go but we wanted to give you all a more well-rounded stage. So, we will all swap songs and show you a better performance. At least for today, don't look at me as the head of JYP but as a singer under the label JYP."
To roaring cheers, he continues, revealing, "I want to be a singer until I am 60 years old. I guess when I'm at that age, TWICE will be 40 years old."
The "2016 JYP Mix & Match" concert is the first collaborative concert of JYP artists that they've had in two years, and is the fourth one they've held so far.

The story was first told as a series of six ONAs (original net animation) in 2008 and 2009, which was all put together as a film (along with some extra footage) in 2010. The director, Yasuhiro Yoshiura, is also known for the OVA Pale Cocoon, as well as the upcoming film Sakasama no Patema. Helping me with today's post on Time of Eve will be Totali, a fellow writer at the Sea Slugs Anime Blog.
Note: Next Sunday the Anime Watchers Club will have a post for First Squad: The Moment of Truth. Be sure to watch that by July 15th! But for now, let's dive in to Time of Eve.

Each month, we will have a new feature called "The YumeState of Anime." This will be a chance for everyone in YumeState to post some brief thoughts on whatever they wish in regards to anime, manga, and the like. The start of July is particularly significant for the anime world, as the spring season comes to a close and the summer begins. What series have you been enjoying, and what series are you looking forward to?

Cholisose: Our first movie for summer is Colorful, a 2010 film directed by Keiichi Hara. Leap250 and I will share our thoughts on this movie—and then it will be up to you to continue the discussion in the comments!
Note: And remember, next Sunday we will discuss the film Time of Eve. Be sure to watch that film before July 8th! But for now, let's analyze Colorful a bit.

Acchi Kocchi, as I may have mentioned before, is an enjoyable comedy series that I'm glad came out this spring, giving me something fun and mindless to enjoy each week. But on top of being really funny, this series was really cute. And I mean, reaaaaaaaaaaally cute. It's somehow pulled off in a way that I never found it overbearingly cute, but at the same time I was having one of those HNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG heart attacks pretty much every episode. Such is the point, such is the humor. Not every episode is hilarious, but overall it was the surprise of the season for me.

I really wasn't sure what to expect when I first learned of Tsuritama. It looked fun and quirky, so I gave it a shot. And as it turned out, it wasn't just fun and quirky–it also had a TON of heart. Tsuritama very quickly became the anime I looked forward to the most each week, and (in my opinion) is a very strong contender for best anime of the year.

Like Fate/Zero, Kimi to Boku was another returning anime that had a nice long winter break, and was a show I was really looking forward to watching more of! The first season was admittedly a bit slow at first, but once the characters were established the show became lots of fun. So how did the second season fare?
June 25, 2012 10:12 pm by Cholisose
As the spring season comes to a close, I thought I'd post some thoughts on each of the shows I watched through all the way. Let's start with the show I looked forward to the most… the second half of Fate/Zero!
June 24, 2012 7:01 pm by Cholisose
For July and August, YumeState is planning on watching and writing about a different anime movie each week. The movies planned for July will be Colorful, Time of Eve (Eve no Jikan: Gekijouban), First Squad: The Moment of Truth, and Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva.

Ballad of a Shinigami (AKA Shinigami no Ballad) is a manga based on a series of light novels by K-Ske Hasegawa, though from what I understand there is also a 6-episode anime adaptation and a 12-episode live drama. There were twelve novels in Japan, the first two of which were translated and released in English. My post will focus on the three-volume manga series.

The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show . . .
Reblogging this as a "slice of life" in the 1960's. It is hard to remember when there were only three stations on television and kids functioned as the remote control for their parents!!!
And then when the Beatles had the top five songs (and 12 overall on the top 100) . . . Who can totally fathom the effects of Beatlemania in the light of all of the choices kids have right now?
This piece, on worldwide poverty, brings to mind our microcosm in the U.S., as addressed by the President in the State of the Union address Tuesday night (January 28, 2014).
I had some thoughts on the wage inequality that the President raised. I don't believe it will be touched by raising either the federal employees' minimum wage to $10.40 an hour, nor the country's minimum wage to $10.40 an hour.
First of all, most federal employees already make far more than $10.40 an hour, so that statement was just window dressing anyway.
Secondly, what can be done on $440 a week? Not much here. Even two married people, both making minimum wage, would be barely able to scrape by on $880 a week in coastal Virginia.
Should we federally control prices? In a free market? Never. That would be the worst of Soviet communism, come to fruition on our own soil.
So how do we equip people to live in this expensive economy?
Certainly not by preparing them to be minimum wage workers all life long.
Our newspaper, not a bastion of liberal nor of conservative thought, laid it all out again last week (these statistics are well known and have often been reported by bipartisan sources): point #1) there is a huge difference in wages between high school graduates (or dropouts) and college graduates, point #2) college graduates tend to marry each other and point #3) college graduates are the ones who still believe in the institution of marriage and embark on it, trying to make it last (high school graduates and dropouts tend to be the ones who believe that the entire institution of marriage is flawed so we should all just cohabitate whenever we wish).
I have had people who don't believe in the institution of marriage try to give me anecdotal evidence that suggests the above points are not true. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule. But the points are true.
So, given that, I was less than encouraged that neither the State of the Union nor its rebuttal led to a discussion of strengthening the family.
It seems that finishing college and embarking on long-lasting marriages is the way forward economically for Americans.
Yes, we used to be able to make it in single-earner households. Some, by drawing down their requirements, still do. But most of us do not. World War II changed that by putting women to work. The economy grew to the point that it costs the wages of a husband plus the wages of a wife to live.
Society shifted. Life is like that.
Any constructive ideas from others about the way forward?
I finished the Band of Brothers series on video last night. It was clearly HBO's finest hour!
I love the personal touch. Never have I seen so eloquently the fact that history is a very large river made up of the smaller trickles and streams of everyone's personal story!
I love that the producers (Tom Hanks, whom I learned is a huge World War II buff, and Stephen Spielberg, who has produced some epics about World War II already in the past) took very little creative license with the stories of the individual men of Easy Company, 101st Airborne.
If a man lost a leg in a specific battle in real life, that is how it happened in the film.
In fact, the most interesting part of the entire series was the documentary at the end in which the survivors were interviewed and gave more details of their individual stories.
I wept as they introduced the real Major Winters, who remained lifelong best friends with Lieutenant Nixon, and even moved to New Jersey so he could work for Lieutenant Nixon in the factory he inherited from his father.
The men of Easy Company have held annual reunions, along with their families, ever since the war ended. Can we even fathom an annual reunion that has lasted for almost 70 years so far?
Since Easy Company was the assault company of their battalion, they saw some things they still cannot express, especially in the Battle of the Bulge, where they lived in foxholes in the Ardennes Forest for a winter. Even a documentary cannot get some words past their lips. And many wept as they spoke, even after almost 70 years. These men, who refer to themselves as ordinary and to those who died as heroes, gave the best of their youth to their country. Many entered the Army at age 17 or 18 and served for at least the next three years.
Often life is so much fuller with warmth and love and heroism than fiction ever could be!
For Christmas this year I treated myself to the six-DVD set of Band of Brothers, as originally seen on HBO. I had long looked forward to seeing this series.
I have seen all but the last DVD (two episodes). It is a fine, historical series. No huge surprises, as most of us know the story of World War II.
What is awe-inspiring is the interviews at the beginning of each episode with Easy Company, 101st Airborne survivors. I so hope at the end of the series they identify the survivors by name, as it is easy to fall in love with the amazing young men in the series, as portrayed by today's young actors. It would be wonderful to know which ones have survived to a ripe old age (many, many of them die in the series, as they did in real life).
The series does not veer too far in either direction–it does not glamorize nor vilify war. It shows that many bodies were (and are) shattered by it. It is not for the faint of stomach, in fact.
But it allows us to form our own conclusions from history, as it should. It leads people to think.
I did not realize that the 101st Airborne's winter defending Bastogne was much like Washington's winter at Valley Forge. One survivor says he still tells his wife, when it gets cold and snowy outside their home, "At least I am not sleeping outside in the snow in Bastogne."
Men are shown huddled under blankets in foxholes, sleeping like a heap of kittens with other men for warmth. Amazing times.
It is totally understandable how the men of Easy Company have remained best friends and closest of brothers during the ensuing decades. They say no one else could even understand what rigors and horrors they undertook that winter.
In the battle for Bastogne and in their other battles, they had over 100% casualties (lots of replacements sent in were killed or injured, too).
Amazing times. Amazing men. I am glad this series was made.
This is going to be dangerous territory.
There are some ideas that you cannot call out in the U.S. without people who hold them realizing they are being called out for holding those ideas.
You can call it a "conversation" if you wish, but if you have talked with said individuals numerous times and have found it to be like hitting your head against a brick wall, then you doubtless are aware that this is not really a conversation.
Sometimes you just have to say things plainly and . . .if people hold other views and feel their views are being attacked, well, that is actually true.
You see, not all ideas are equally valid, no matter what we say about free speech. You have a right to say it. But just saying words does not gain you validity, nor followers. You have to know what you are saying and be able to back it up.
People who have not studied history have the same right to free speech as the rest of us. But they also have the right to listen to others laugh at them when they say silly things, due to not knowing history.
In the marketplace of ideas, laughter is a valuable thing. We don't need to suppress speech. But we do have to research what we are saying if we hope to have our speech be respected.
I have a friend in my age group who has been a valuable person to help me understand how some folks in younger generations look at the military in the U.S. She has helped me with that because she holds many of the same views as our younger generation generally does.
The military is regarded, nowadays, as an unaffordable luxury. What are we protecting, after all?
As a student of history, I see that mindset as myopic. Tragically so.
But it may take another world war to turn that mindset around.
My friend has often made statements about the military not having a right to an opinion about what she calls "other entitlement programs." Yes, she will say, "You have your entitlements like the commissary and Tricare, so you have to keep quiet about the entitlements of the rest of us."
Really? So when you serve 27 years for it, as I did, it is still regarded as an "entitlement"?
So when the government signs your paycheck because you work for the government, it is the same as when the government signs a welfare check? Have we told the President and the Congress that their paychecks are "entitlements"?
I totally get it about not treating welfare recipients as pariahs. But that does not mean they earn their checks in the same way the military does. You don't turn it around and elevate the self respect of welfare recipients by lumping them in with the military, for whom we have traditionally held the highest respect of all.
In an era of limited resources, it would go far toward healing some of the U.S.'s divides if people would at least act appreciative of the military while asking them to take 50% of the budget cuts (note: the military is not 50% of the budget, but we are regarded as having more discretionary dollars than Medicaid, Medicare, social security or welfare).
I totally get it that most of our Senators and Congresspeople have no military service, for the first time in history. So they can't really appreciate us unless they are students of history. Sometimes they try to give us lip service. Sometimes they don't bother.
I totally understand that most people sleep through high school history classes and some even do that in college. But . . . I entered the military with a very sparse knowledge of history and just started reading . . . It is amazing what history books, even good historical fiction, can do for you! I always loved history. Now I have a pretty broad background in it.
There is no excuse for not understanding the Cold War or what the U.S. did to preserve freedom in World Wars I and II. There is no reason for anyone to not tell a Viet Nam vet "thank you for your service" with full understanding of why that phrase matters to him.
And, more recently, our next "greatest generation" that gave the strength of its youth in Iraq and Afghanistan needs to be praised and encouraged, not lumped in with welfare recipients as "entitlement folks."
It is important. Very important.

A lot of people are finding it more and more difficult to find the right type of auto insurance that insurance van is right for them. You have to just make sure you understand everything there is to learn when it comes to auto insurance. With these tips here, you can learn some insights on making the right choice.
Shop online! To ensure you get the absolute best deal on car insurance, do most or all of your research online – and then buy online. Technology now allows fast comparison of so many companies and features; it greatly simplifies the task of finding the right company with the right rates and the right coverage to fit your needs and budget.
When you shop for auto insurance, make sure that you are receiving the best possible rate by asking what kinds of discounts your company offers. Auto insurance companies give discounts for things like safe driving, good grades (for students), and features in your car that enhance safety, such as antilock brakes and airbags. So next time, speak up and you could save some money.
Car insurance costs can be cut down if you know what to do. If you loved this article and also you would like to acquire more info pertaining to no Deposit van insurance please visit the web-page. Make sure that your car falls into the low risk category, you add a spouse when you can, tell the insurance company that you have children, and keep a clean driving record. If you are over 25 years old your premiums will go down as well.
Your teenage driver may be eligible for a number of discounts that could make auto insurance more affordable, so be sure to ask. Some companies will give a discount to good students with a GPA above 3.0. Your teen's premiums may also gradually decrease as they accumulate a safe driving record. Defensive driving courses and a car with plenty of safety features can also get you a cheaper policy.
Keep your record clean! Your driving record is the main thing that insurance companies look at when deciding what to charge you. It is more important than the car you drive and your credit rating together. Even getting a simple speeding ticket can set your premiums higher, so keep your nose clean!
multi car and van insurance If you own an older model vehicle, drop your collision coverage. Most policies have a limited amount collision coverage, that will not pay for more than the blue book value. Investigate how much your vehicle is worth, and then figure out how much the added collision coverage will cost you. Paying the extra coverage amount is sometimes not worth your while.
An important consideration in securing affordable auto insurance is the condition of your credit record. It is quite common for insurers to review the credit reports of applicants in order to determine policy price and availability. Therefore, always make certain your credit report is accurate and as clean as possible before shopping for insurance.
Do not try to claim your car is worth more than it really is. It's tempting to think that in case of an accident you might end up with a check larger enough to go out and buy that luxury car you've always wanted. It doesn't work though because insurance companies only pay the fair market worth of your car, not what you claimed it was worth.
Consider switching the deductible from $1000 to $100. There a many pros and cons for lowering a deductible, even so the pros usually outweigh the cons. You might find yourself paying for a minor collision or two, but you should ultimately be saving a lot more money if you are a safe driver.
Consider changes you can make to your daily commute that could reduce the miles you drive. The shorter your commute is, the less your auto insurance will cost. For example, can you combine your drive time with public transit or carpooling? Can you work at home more often or travel for work less?
Most people don't understand the variety in the world of auto insurance. Taking the time to carefully consider and research your auto insurance policy can save you time and money in the event you need to use your insurance coverage. Use the advise that has been given to you so that you can make the best choice for your auto insurance needs.

Are you working out and eating right, but not losing weight? Do you feel that you are doing everything you are supposed to and still not seeing any weight loss? While this might be the case, there might be a hidden factor preventing you from losing weight. Alcohol might be the culprit.
There are as many reasons for people to drink, as there are people who love to drink. Some people love to enjoy a nice glass of wine to compliment a fine meal. Others enjoy socializing and find that a couple of drinks relax them. The cosmo or margarita not only tastes great, it makes them friendlier.
Wine aids digestion. Drinking red wine has hidden health benefits. These statements are true, but they may make the process of losing fat last longer or worse it could even cause more weight gain.
Many people count calories, and watch carbohydrates. Most people don't know that alcohol converts directly into sugar, which causes insulin levels to rise. This is horrible for losing weight.
There are two hormones that are responsible for fat processing. These two hormones are insulin and glycogon. Almost everybody has heard of insulin in reference to diabetics. What they don't know is that high levels of insulin cause the body to store fat. Glycogon, is a hormone most people have not heard of. Think of it as the reverse of insulin. It makes the body utilize fat rather than sugar. If you have high levels of glycogen then losing body fat will be simple.
Another reason alcohol is bad for weight loss is that most people don't drink straight alcohol. They drink mixed drinks. These drinks generally have a ton of sugar added to them. Soda, juice, and various mixers add calories and sugar to the drink. Where we might be only drink a drink or two, these drinks can reach upwards of several hundred calories. Not a good think if we want to lose weight.
In addition, the fact that alcohol is processed in the body faster should be noted. This is before fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. Why is this important? It's important because your body takes the remaining foods and decides to store them as fat and process them later. Stomach fat to be more precise, which is where we get the term beer belly.
I will admit that I do drink from time to time. I am not saying drinking is wrong, just that when you are losing weight drinking should be moderated.
