The New York Diary - My week in NYC, Night 4 - The Bonus Story of the Bouncer
June 28, 2015
Hi guys! It's Friday and I finally have some time to continue with the gossip of New York. Gosh New York, I can still hardly believe that I went there! As the happenings become memories and life rolls along, I already feel a world away, and almost one step forward to my next trip!
So in my last post, I left you during the day-after-the-night-before of a Pendulum mosh pit in Brooklyn and chatting over beers until the early morning in a scene that would have been at home in an episode of Girls. We had made the clever decision to just ride the open top bus the next day but that did not satisfy enough for a day in NYC, so just my one friend and I decided we couldn't bear wasting any second and to hit the Manhattan night air for a fourth night running. By now we had numerous guys from previous night offering to hang out again, and while their advances were mostly of the friendly nature, we knew a brand new night would bring brand new people. And we were not wrong! This post is very much a *bonus round* as it's simply a funny story, but I have no pictures to accompany this as I didn't even take my phone out at night.
I had a heavenly power nap before coaxing myself to hop in that shower and get my butt into action. That night was when I recorded my outfit in my vlog and I really have to stress that I didn't vlog or photograph everything we did, so I'm telling you here in these posts. It was coupled with the fact that my main prerogative was to enjoy every moment rather than document every moment, and also the friends I was with are, like myself, so not about that social media humble brag life. We had a conversation that went something like 'Hmm we really should post something on Facebook shouldn't we?' 'I'm not putting anything on mine' 'Me neither' 'OK well I'll post a picture but I'm not putting a status or description or anything' and that's how it stayed! I posted two pictures I think and even then I felt the shame. So you won't see many selfies here or outfit photos as we just didn't have chance to stop!
I have digressed but I shall continue with the night of Monday, and I spent a good fifteen minutes consulting our list of 100 bars and clubs to figure out which we definitely wanted to go to and which were open on Mondays and close to each other. I need some sort of orienteering award after this because it is way more difficult than it might seem! We decided to hop across to a mysterious rooftop bar that was opposite out hotel room, and then onto Up and Down as recommended by Maya and possibly a club called Avenue which apparently had an amazing Monday night on. The ground floor of the elusive rooftop bar, which had seemed amazingly full every night when we saw it from our hotel, was rather like a dungeon, and we followed the bouncer's instructions of 'turn left, right, then left' down the dingy corridors and to a lift. Another gal joined us and she was wearing what I can only described as a plunge, lycra printed hot-pant jumpsuit with thigh high boots - amazing. She basically looked like Beyoncé about to go on stage and had that vibe of being a girl totally dressed up but you've not linked up with your friends yet, so you feel most awkward inside but are trying to channel your most natural vibes. I, in contrast was wearing a midi pencil skirt and polo neck top a la Kim K but felt like yes, we had come to an awesome club.
When the lift arrived to the roof, it was clear this was a hip hop/trap night as the room was full of grinding couples, groups of girls dressed in the most skin tight, mega plunge dresses that I've only ever seen on Instagram pages with 300k followers, and guys in sunglasses. We grabbed a drink and stood outside to look over the rooftops. Times Square is so brightly lit that it actually looked like daylight! It was bizarre! This music was so up my street though and of course it was not long before some guys approached us who described themselves as a model/blogger/stylist/creative duo who had just rode their bikes over from Brooklyn. One was smartly dressed with waist length dreadlocks, and the other had a man bun, baggy hippy pants, and could do an awesome British accent. They said Avenue was a great party but Up and Down sounded like an awesome place, so we said maybe see them later and hopped in a cab. We got a little lost on the way and the cab actually drove past Avenue, so I hopped out and asked one of the bouncers near the edge of the street for directions, which he gave me with no fuss. BIG MISTAKE. Read on.
The bouncer at Up and Down first asked if we were on a guest list but it looked like the club wasn't even open as there was no one outside, so he nodded for us to go in and we headed through the dark door and downstairs. Monday definitely wasn't the main night as it was more of a casual vibe with low tables and plush sofas occupied by cool kids, and so we had one drink and a gossip before thinking Avenue was the way to go. Back in a cab, we pulled up to a very busy crowd now surrounding the square section of barriers outside Avenue and saw our model friends from earlier! Sadly they seemed to be having trouble getting in as one of the guys was dressed so casually in his baggy pants, and there didn't really seem to be any gap to go towards the club door anyway; just barriers and crowds of very tall, slim people looking very prestige. One burly bouncer told me to 'wait there' and we noticed a very small, tanned, wrinkled older bouncer in an immaculate suit but wearing the type of gloves you might wear while beating someone up (?!), and he was possibly the scariest person I've ever seen. I watched as groups of people joined the crowd, then seemed to be recognised by the bouncers and have the barrier pulled aside for them. Some people stood near the front for a moment before getting the attention of the scary dude and somehow saying some magical words to enter. I asked the nearby less-scary bouncer why we were waiting and he said 'be patient', ignoring my question. And it was about ten minutes before I realised something was up. We were not getting into this club.
We spoke to some guys next to us who had just arrived and were male models (male. models. YES) and they stood almost in silence as the bouncer sized them up for about five minutes, before somehow passing the test and being let in. By now it was around 2am and I was not happy about the wasted time. We could have gone somewhere else! Why wasn't he letting us in? Apart from implying something gross, the more friendly bouncer said a few times 'just a few minutes' and did his best not to look anywhere in my direction, before finally, finally turning to the scary, scary man and nodding to us. The miniature man I swear didn't not even grace us with his gaze as he shook his head and turned to other commotion. Argh! It was not like me to give up on a situation but I just could not figure out how to get into this club. The people going in were so random - they just seemed to know the bouncer. Was there a secret password? Open sesame?! We were talking to the friends from earlier who couldn't get in because of his trousers and one of the male models came out from the club too as he had tried to get us on the list (yes - a male model. His jaw is still in my dreams). We asked him what was up and he said apologetically "OK girls... it's because.... you're not tall enough." and looked at us pityingly.
Not tall enough. Not tall enough?! Amazing! I'm 5'5 and my friend is about the same and we were in heels, but he explained that the night was a party of models and celebrities, and we had rocked up after 1am thinking we could stroll in, without knowing anyone's name or being on the guest list, and looking like tourists rather than effortless models. We were so obviously nobodies! They didn't want their club to be a tourist playground; it had to be the most exclusive crowd around. Ah! So that made sense and we realised we had got very lucky with the clubs we had been to so far. And it was even more apparent when, five minutes later, Wesley Snipes walked out of the club and then a guy from Empire. Woah. And I also just Googled the club and that scary bouncer is actually this guy. WOAH. We asked ourselves who did we think we were when we assumed we could just walk into the most exclusive clubs in the most exclusive city in the world. We grabbed pizza slices and pondered our new found knowledge, before heading off and buying makeup in the 24hr CVS on Times Square at 2an. Not at all a bad end to a night that had no expectations for, but definitely a night not to forget! So how did our other night fare when we did manage to get into what is known as THE most exclusive club in NYC? Stay tuned!

Sony unveiled the PlayStation 4 yesterday evening. The initial reactions are mixed to stay polite. Many Sony fans who have watched the two hour event came away disappointed to not have seen the console. Industry voices say that the PS4 is anchored in the past and does not address the future of gaming.
The Sony PlayStation 4 unveiling triggered a lot of negative comments yesterday. The initial major disappointment for Sony fans was that the company did not show the PS4 console. We only got to see the new DualShock 4 Controller and the camera. The event was 2 hours long, but failed to ignite the hype Sony might have hoped for. We will see more analysis today from industry pundits. James McQuivey from Forrester already posted his take. He sees the Sony PS4 betting on the past and giving up the future.
The PS4 is a sold next-gen hardware and platform, but does not take gaming to a new level. It also does not address how the gaming market has changed. More and more gamers spend their time on smartphones and tablets. New cloud based streaming allows to play elaborate games on cheap hardware. The Sony PS4 will not be cheap. The PS4 will find its fans, but Forrester's James McQuivey predicts that Sony will sell fewer PS4 consoles than it did PS3s. This is would be a major fail that could kill Sony.

Let's just say I'm beyond frustrated this season. I've gotten four tomatoes and six cherry tomatoes.
And that's not a lot, especially by now.
The rodents are eating them at a ferocious pace and my green tomatoes haven't had a chance to ripen yet.
We've been using an electronic rat trap and putting hazelnut chocolate spread inside. And there was a time where we caught one a night for about four weeks. I called vector control, and he patted me on the back, handed me snap traps and assured me I was doing everything correctly.
What I like about these rat traps is that I don't really have to see anything. And there's no gore. I can pick up the housing & pour anything in it into the garbage. Dear hubby resets it, and away we go.
We built a housing out of a plastic bin that locks down. Just cut a hole in the side so the rats can get in, but nothing else can, and it protects the rat trap from errant sprinklers.
And now, on to the show (my video)

amd announced early today that it is shipping its 2400+ and 2600+ rated athlon xp processors. systems are set to arrive in september.
the chips are boosted a bit higher in mhz speed than their predecessors to achieve their clock ratings. while a 2200+ thoroughbred core ran at 1.8ghz, a 2400+ athlon xp runs at 2ghz, and a 2600+ chip runs at 2.13ghz. the athlon xp 2400+ goes for us$193 and the xp 2600+ goes for $297, and they feature the same 266mhz system bus and 256 kb of l2 cache as previous athlon xps.
the new athlon xp chips use an updated core, the "thoroughbred b," which has a slightly larger 84 mm2 die size than the 80 mm2 thoroughbred a that ran in athlon xp chips up to 2200+. the die size was increased due to an optimized chip layout. also, an extra layer of silicon was added, making the newest athlon xp use 9 layers, up from 8 in the thoroughbred a core.
read more in the amd press release, the amd page on the new chips, and reviews at tom's hardware and hardocp.
thanks to smakky the camel and saint for submitting this item first.
rob's opinion
performance comparisons between the athlon xp 2600+ and pentium 4 2.53ghz flip flop depending on the benchmarks used. amd claims the 2600+ is now the fastest chip available, but for many 3d games and media applications the use of sse2 instructions and a faster system bus in the pentium 4 are making amd's athlon xp core show its age. forthcoming hammer chips from amd, which come with sse2 support and a speedier on-chip memory interface, will most likely be shown to address these performance issues, which allow intel to claim the performance crown in many benchmarks. until hammer arrives, the athlon xp will seem like a souped up pentium iii: a chip with an outdated bus speed that keeps up with higher clocked pentium 4s due to its more efficient architecture.
one item of note that is very interesting is that while the old thoroughbred a core had a lot of trouble overclocking, the new thoroughbred b core has already been boosted up to 2.8ghz by tom's hardware using super-cooling. with plain air-cooling, it approaches 2.5ghz at tom's hardware and hardocp. this new chip from amd is finally showing the world what a well designed chip on a .13 micron process can do. amd is right back in the running in a lot of ways if it can produce chips with such headroom.
what's the next strike? expect 2.8, 2.66, 2.6, and 2.5ghz p4s out from intel any day now. for the moment, amd arguably has wrested back the performance crown from intel, but by a narrow sliver.

|outdated bus speed? (3:16am est wed aug 21 2002)
calling the 266mhz bus "outdated" may be true in the sense that it's been in service for some time, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's "outdated".
while an increase in fsb speeds would certainly prove to be a good thing for amd's athlon, one has to wonder why they've stuck with it so long. sure, there's the testing issues and so forth, but if the bus were really that much of a bottleneck you'd think they'd have pushed the issue before now.
i've got an axp right here at home that'll do 1.9ghz with watercooling, stock voltages. i've tested it at 266mhz speeds and with 333mhz speeds, and although the bus speed increase helps some, it's on the order of single digit percentages. it leads me to believe that the axp just isn't choking on the 266mhz bus. noting the benchmarks on kyle's site, we see the athlon 2600+ doing quite well even on the old bus. it's a restriction for sure, but perhaps not as bad as a similar restriction might've been on a p4.
of course, my viewpoints here are quite slanted as most of my benchmarking is done with 3dsmax. max is extremely bandwidth insensitive, and is really very processor sensitive. a kt133a board running a 1900+ athlon xp will score within 5% of the same processor on a kt333 board. maybe that's not a good representation of the average person's computing load, but it's the one that i have the most experience with. – by u.s. marine

"despite the use of the fastest ddr333 memory (cl2.0), the memory performance lags quite far behind the scores made by the intel 845g chipset for the p4 platform. it is most likely because of this that amd has adjusted the model number to be lower. " – by pr fails again

|oc'ed athlon xp 3000+ and 2800+ have been sucked over all tests (6:25am est wed aug 21 2002)
"archiving data is a very practical application. with the help of the new winace 2.11 packer under windows xp, a 178 mb wav file was packed while the clock was running. the athlon 2600+ ends up just slightly behind the pentium 4/2400. this benchmark is heavily influenced by the memory interface – therefore the test scores for the overclocked athlon cpus (xp 2800+ and xp 3000+) are quite low. the reason is that, at high memory clock rates, the motherboard switches over to the slower cl3 mode. here, it is not possible to manually set it to cl2.0." – by askheart

|pr rating (9:28am est wed aug 21 2002)
way back when i had mentioned to rick c. in the message parlor that the pr rating was subject to change, and therefore his one argument against the pr system in his aberdeen response was moot.
as predicted, the pr rating has indeed been modified. this only shows that the one problem that a person could have with the pr rating (predicting future outrageous pr to mhz examples) is irrelevant.
i do believe that the pr rating (model number) needs to be built into the chip rather than letting mobo manufacturers derive it off of some formula.
if barton comes, it may remain at a similar clockrate while adding cache. what will the manufacturers do then?
if mhz 2100 then this different algorithm
if mhz > 2100 and core revision is this then this even different algorithm
its gonna get kind of silly, fast.

|memory vs cpu bus (9:35am est wed aug 21 2002)
us marine, unfortunately, unless you did some hardcore overclocking, you were running a 266mhz processor core with a link to the memory bus at 333mhz.
amd is a very competitive company. my guess is that they are putting all their efforts into the hammer line.
it seems like they've given up on the athlon line. the 760mpx chipset still doesn't support properly acpi (in w2k), nor does it have an audio system that supports smp. both are forgivable for the first 3 months of a chipset's release, but are usually patched with drivers very quickly. they could rather easily up the bus speed for their chips and beat intel in every benchmark. the athlon cpu is vastly superior to the pentium 4 mhz for mhz.
amd is either planning on a massive attack next year (which i hope) or they're going out of business because their cpu has an incredibly weak bus, their chipsets are a joke, the only thing good about them is their superior fpu processing capabilities which haven't been updated since the athlon's release.
if i could reach any amd corporate executives, let me say…
build a decent chipset this time!!!! no corporate company is buying from you because your chipsets suck. everyone knows via is the most unreliably crap factory known to man. don't let them do all your chipsets. it isn't an intel conspiracy, its that you build a superior chip and make users use garbage chipsets. intel at least makes sure their chips have fully featured, reliable, working chipsets!!!!!!!!!! – by steven
|amd is finally showing (9:42am est wed aug 21 2002)
that after months of f*cking around with the 0.13 process, they finally trickle out a modified t'bred, which probably should have been the barton, but they are still having problems in other areas.
i don' think we will see the barton till mid-2003 given they are still vamping their xp line of athlons. that is still provided amd will be interested in the 32bit only market after the release of hammer (after which i think they will drop their 32 bit line of athlon's completely).
i am not dissing amd, they do have a better performing architecture then intel, but they have been really d*cking around the past 6 months with timid athlon releases and half hearted entries into the desktop cpu market.
bottom line, they are squeeking by with this one.

… when these chips get to the point where they stop acting like toaster oven elements, and begin emitting microwaves. then we'll be able to forget the actuall chip cooling, and will have the added bonus of never having to suffer cold bagels again.
of course it's a small step from that to actual radiation, but lead shielding ought to hold that in check.
– by buford lamonte
|think! (9:57am est wed aug 21 2002)
the 65% of people in the world who are starving cannot afford to buy compouter chips like these. most of these people wouldn't know what to do with a chip if they had one given to em anyways, so it's a moot point.
in order for there to be wealthy people such as ourselves, there has to be poor people like them. if everyone were at the same level, we'd all slide to the common denominator.
unless you are personally prepared to live in a mud hut without electricity and running water, or are actually doing so at present, kindly keep your obnoxious, hypocritical, mock-humanistic claptrap to yourself.

|my overclocked fsb, steven (11:55am est wed aug 21 2002)
steven, i'm not sure what you might mean by "hardcore overclocking", but my kt333 epox board was most definitely running the fsb at 166mhz, as well as the memory interface (i'm using corsair xms pc3200 ddr). i've unlocked my athlon so i could select a lower multiplier to offset the bus speed increase.
yes, i know the kt333 boards allow the memory bus to run at 166mhz while the "processor" fsb runs at 133mhz, but that's not what i was doing. if i had, you'd be right in saying there'd be little improvement (as many testers have found) due to the 133mhz bottleneck. nope, i wasn't playing that game, i ran both busses up to 166mhz. some gains, but nothing to scream about. got much larger gains just by bumping the processor multiplier up by half a step.
again, though, this is with 3dsmax, and may not be representative of what you'd get with, say, serious sam or comanche4. – by u.s. marine

|finally a comeback!! (1:21pm est wed aug 21 2002)
but shouldn't the 2400+ be 1.933ghz (not 2.0ghz), and the 2600+ be at 2.067ghz (and not 2.133ghz)? amd seems to be giving more mhz now rather than keeping on track with the ####+ to mhz.
it appears that with the 200+ they went up from the 2200+ to 2400+ means an extra 200mhz. but from 2400+ to 2600+, it's only a 133mhz increase!!! this is confusing since it is not consistent anymore. i wonder if the 2800+ will be at 2.267ghz or 2.333ghz.
ah well, i guess it doesn't matter. once they reach the 2800+, amd will be the best chip maker out there once again. – by bye bye

|the question of the day (3:03pm est wed aug 21 2002)
that will sound totally retarded, but it's asked with the purpose of common sense. if the performance of an athlon is not efficiently raised by increases in cache or bus speed, and it is not thermally efficient to continue increasing clock speed, then when is the best next course of action? – by sdb

all of us who are looking foward to the sledgehammer… we should be severely disappointed if it comes out with anything less than 4mb of cache. yes marines, i know the performance increase would be little if not decrease because of the ime searching through the cache, but the sledgehammer was originally slated to have from 4mb to 8mb cache (this is when the original slot athlons came out). so i think we should hold them to their word. – by sdb

no one (informed) has suggested that the 333 bus would improve performance much at the current clock speeds. the real issue is that amd may have to do this to keep getting performance out of their chips at higher clock rates. anandtech stated today:
the official word from amd is that they are considering the move to a 333mhz fsb, but if you ask any of their chipset partners you will hear a slightly different story. the story they're telling is that the 333mhz fsb is definitely going to happen this year, possibly with the next launch of athlon xp processors in the coming months.
the lack of 333mhz fsb support on the 2600+ and 2400+ parts isn't too disappointing because, as we mentioned before, there is not much performance to be gained by moving to a faster fsb at these clock speeds the athlon xp simply isn't starved by its 266mhz fsb, but as speeds do increase a faster fsb may become necessary.
333 will have to come in the future, i think, but right now it isn't necessary.
luckily ddr333 support is already present in all of today's socket-a motherboards, so a move to a 333mhz fsb would still allow for a synchronous fsb/memory bus combination.

|166mhz buses olny advantage is (10:16pm est wed aug 21 2002)
it cuts the latency by 1/4-1/5. thats why you dont see the big 20% gains.
now if you were to pair an athlon with pc2100 ddr with memory timings of 1-3-1-1 the tbred core would have the lower latency it needs to thrive at the higher speeds.
remember if the axp and p4 sit idle for equal ammount of clocks the axp lost more potental work than the p4. so this isnt a issue of more bandwith by bumping up the mhz, but lower the ammount of clocks the axp has to wait for the data it needs. – by nataku

|you have to admire amd (10:57am est thu aug 22 2002)
they have successfully extended new life into the socket-a platform.
with the release of the upcomming "barton" cpu, they are poised to do very well indeed against intel's p4 line in the low-end market.
the k8 platform will definitely put pressure on intel in the high-end market. next year is going to be very exciting indeed.
either way, it has never been a better time to buy or build a new system. the price wars are absolutely great for the consumer! or waiting just a little while longer for via's kt400 and nvidia's nforce2 chipset designs. and not to mention "hammer", which i'm very excited about. i'm pleased with both intel and amd recent progress in producing notable product lines…
i love the competition…it really spurs innovation.
i loath a stagnant high-tech market…. – by latenitecrawler

Location: White Springs, Florida
Date: May 18, 2014
The weather was perfect for some outside activity, so Julie and I decided to take an hour drive north on I-75 to the town of White Springs where that are two Florida State Parks. The Stephen Foster state park has camping so we wanted to take a look as we are always interested in finding new locations for short weekend camping adventures.
As the name implies Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park is dedicated to the American composer Stephen Foster who lived from 1826 – 1864. He wrote more than 200 songs and many remained popular long after his death. The building below looks like and old southern mansion and contains a museum covering the life and songs of Mr. Foster. This museum included many old pianos from his time as wells a a number of diorama's showing scenes from many of the more popular songs.
The Carillon Tower tolls through out the day and on the top of each hour plays many of Foster's tunes. The base of the tower also houses a small museum with many historical pieces.
A section of the Florida Trail runs through the park. We attempted to hike a short part of it as it follows the Suwannee River. Unfortunately, the water level of the river is high at this time and we had to turn around. Below is the track of a short hikes we took around the park and the camping area, We did find a good number of nice campsites here, so we marked them down and plan on returning sometime to do some camping.
Stephen Foster Culture Center State Park at EveryTrail
Just outside of the State Park entrance is the remains of a hotel and spa that was built around a larger spring on the river. This area was very popular back in the 1800's as it was believed that soaking in the spring was good for your health. The hotel offered all kinds of "packages" that guaranteed to solve whatever ailed you. Here is all the remains of the old hotel and spa. The water doesn't look so enticing now as it flooded by the tannic water of the Suwannee river.
As you can see below, downtown White Springs is a bustling area!!
About five miles north of White Springs is the other park we wanted to check out today. This was Big Shoals State park and is also on the Suwannee River. This is the location of the only white water in Florida. There's two sections of the river, Big Shoals and Little Shoals, where if the water is just right you will be able to canoe or kayak some class III rapids. The parks kayak launch area was closed today because of the high water. We saw a few sections of rapids, but for the most part the water was too high and totally covered the rocks and shoals.
We did do a hike along the river which had some nice overlooks to check out the shoals.
Here is the GPS track or our hike.Big Shoals State Park at EveryTrail
This gopher tortoise was blocking the road as we were trying to leave the park. It was a stare down, and we finally had to relocate him to a safer location on the side of the road,

I've always interpreted "no problem" as a variation on the Spanish "no problema". I don't think it's a big deal. IMHO.

If it every happens that the fashionable construction becomes "So, no problem" I'm going postal.
Sat. 1/7/17 11:36am
Is 'you're welcome' also inappropriate? @Matt I don't think it's a big deal either, maybe it depends on tone.

MS - you DO realize you just used "no problem" in the blender story?? i think "no problem" has morphed into the new "you're welcome" maybe?? perhaps your issue with the waiter was the way it was said not the way it was used???

Whenever I DJ out, I find that "Let Her Dance" is a guaranteed floorpacker!
Sat. 1/7/17 11:41am
morning all. loved the db's. - feeling you on the 'no problem'. - i have a little issue with, 'have a good one'. always sounds a little... suggestive. but i too had a good customer service experience recently with an american indoor antenna company. really helpful troubleshooting and at the end they sent me a replacement amplifier free of charge. - and i too was fortunate to be able to write a review in my own words instead of enduring the indignity of 'the multiple choice'. more options do not mean more choices. - mornign all!~

Matt in Nebraska:
After reading Miriam's BF4 book, it seemed Randy Fuller had a bit of a inferiority complex to his brother but he can hold his head high for the "Let Her Dance" bass line. That's more than most of us accomplish in a lifetime.

I think "you're welcome" has become considered too formal, and "no problem" has become the more casual equivalent response. At least for me. I know that when I worked in service, I used "you're welcome" but tend to use "no problem" in more familiar settings.

"no worries" bothers me a little, not that i am against jamaican'isms - but, it wreaks a bit of modern hippy. "have a good one" i don't have a problem/worry with, as it comes from the south - a friendlier place. it seems what we are discussing is how all these phrases are used in the northeast??
Sat. 1/7/17 11:54am
I felt self-conscious even saying 'you're welcome' to customers after I read someone online complaining about service people who don't say 'thank you' first. Geez. For me I think tone and demeanor matter the most. When store clerks don't make eye contact or can't crack a even a small smile that feels wrong.

This Tony Joe White song is reminiscent of "Move Over" by Janis Joplin. Or maybe it's the other way around?
Sat. 1/7/17 11:58am
i think Frank is onto something with the fading of "you're welcome" - maybe it is too formal for the kids these dayzzz

Clarke, it's not exactly anything new though. I think "no problem" has been pretty commonplace for awhile now.

The modern economic world has made real estate and construction the main economic engines of economies big and small. So communities are basically destroying themselves to create "jobs" but destroy what little spirit/uniqueness they might have had.
Why travel anywhere nowadays when it's just piles of glass towers and chains? Not just NJ/NYC but literally everywhere.

your civic is haunted by an angry spirit
Yea so my 1996 Civic VTi automatically glides left on the road if I let go of the steering wheel when accelerating or in neutral after alignment and air pressure checks. And this is not like a very gradual left, it's significant enough that I can turn bends in the road without touching the wheel lol.
Was wondering if it's possible that the steering wheel could be like defaulting it's neutral position to something that's left. When I look at the steering wheel as I coast and hands off it, it looks like it's kind of turned to the left. Is that possible or am I just going crazy? And is there a way to fix it, like can I align the steering wheel itself?
your civic is haunted by an angry spirit
Alignment is off. Take it to another shop and get it aligned. Make sure they test drive it before finishing and giving the car back to you.

An Eco Dystopian Thriller!
In A Dying World, Is Anywhere Safe?
I have read several books by Susan Faw before and I have to say that this book is my new favorite. I really like how the story immediately starts off with bang. Immediately there is drama and danger. We start off seeing a struggle for power and a fight that ends with the enemy winning.
This book is the opening salvo in what could be an almost epic saga between good and evil, as Ms Faw has said she hopes to have 12 or 13 books in the series. This was a very enlightening and formidable buildup to the upcoming battle or wars between the magic and non-magic realms. Her characters include witches, wizards, djinns and of course dragons. Definitely looking forward to reading the next book in the series when it comes out.
Susan Faw is a wonderful writer and I'm finding myself grabbing and gobbling up her books as soon as they are published. Heart of Destiny, the first book in a new series by her, is a perfect example of why. Magic, high politics, action, betrayal, a grand scale start of what I can tell will be an epic adventure with great characters (including my fave: the kick-a** heroine) and wonderful writing. I'm already dying to read the next book. Highly recommended.
Susan Faw has a knack of writing a story that immediately grabs the reader and doesn't let them go until it spits you out at the end. I can't wait to find out what happens from here. If you haven't read any of Susan's books, grab this one and jump right in. You won't be sorry!
Wow, I loved it. Djinn, Dragons and Witches. All three merge together to fight a common foe. I can't wait till the next book comes out. I would recommend this to anyone willing to listen.
The balance has been broken and an evil resides at the heart of the world. A very few are taken to attempt to right the evil. The evil takes a precious resource and twists it to his design.

As a multi-purpose stadium having hosted cricket, soccer and concerts we are now tackling our next big challenge preparing for the Top Gear Festival. This will see Top Gear put on its first ever live stadium show with a range of racing and stunt cars performing inside the stadium and around the precinct to delight motoring enthusiasts and entertain anybody who loves a great spectacle!
Construction of the racing track has been underway for almost a month, and during this time we have maintained a normal full size football pitch which remains totally unaffected by the construction going on around it. This has allowed us to continue to host regular matches. The stadium always had a wide grass band around the main pitch, which was envisaged to be converted into an athletics track in future.
For Top Gear, the grass within this band around the main playing pitch has been removed and the ground level dropped to accommodate the vehicle track for the show. The track has to be finished by the end of April so it can cure for a month until the end of May, allowing testing, trials and rehearsals before the event which takes place on Saturday and Sunday 16 and 17 June.
The grass that was removed, about 7500 square metres, has been used to improve the fields across the road from the stadium, opposite Kings Park Swimming Pool. These are available for hire by amateur sporting clubs from the stadium's event management department.
After the festival we will lay artificial turf on top of the track to preserve it for the next two festivals due to come to Durban in 2013 and 2014. In the event of securing another cricket match between the Top Gear festivals, the vehicle track is designed to ensure that grass can be planted over it and grown hydroponically at the same level as the main pitch, ensuring that the field is restored to the size required for cricket match boundaries.
Have you got your tickets yet? Better hurry, they're selling fast!

For more holiday inspiration, please follow our Pinterest boards for our latest pins, including all our favorite holiday ideas!
I love making festive holiday treats for the kids. Maggie gets so excited for dessert that "looks like something" related to Christmas! These are my two favorites. They are also VERY easy to make. Enjoy!
Rudolph the Red Nosed Cookie
I made these for Maggie's preschool class last week & they were a big hit. I had to consult Julie (the baker) about the best way to make them after seeing a few pictures on Pinterest. What we came up with: Get sugar cookies (I used bag mix but slice and bake would be even easier). Bake for 2 min less than instructed. Take them out & press pretzels on for antlers. Put back into the oven for 2 minutes. Take them out & press on chocolate chip eyes & an m&m nose. Make sure to press them down or when the cookie cools they will fall off.
Frosty the Donut
All you need is a bag or box of donuts, orange jelly beans (or half a baby carrot) & black cake decorating gel. Although, if you are making them for toddlers, like I was, I would skip the decorating gel & use a tiny bit of icing to "glue" on some mini chocolate chips. The black icing made quite a mess on the kids faces/ clothes!


text: Have lots of trees and lots of wind in my location. Loop Loc mesh cover is safe, but it does not keep the pool clean becasue leaves, other tree dropping, and various small debris items blow under the edge of the cover. Have made springs as tight as possibel but, since the raised coping results in a slight space between the cover edge and the pool deck, everything small gets blown in and I have a very green, dirty pool at the spring opening. Suggestions?

The creation of orphanages in Korea did not begin with the Korean War. Some existed even at the turn of the century. For its historical value we present herewith the information we gathered on those orphanages that existed prior to 1950. Most of these survived the war with help from American servicemen and women.
This is the period that saw a tremendous growth in the number of orphanages. Estimates were that over 100,000 homeless and parentless children were left in the war's wake. By the end of 1954 there were over 400 registered orphanages in the Republic of Korea, almost all of them sustained in great part by donations from US Armed Forces personnel. During 1954 the orphanage population was still growing by over one thousand children a month as children came in off the streets.
This orphanage, founded to receive the children rescued in the Kiddy Car Airlift, was the largest orphanage in Korea at this time and became well known in Korea and the United States due to the on-going support of Col. Dean Hess, USAF.
Manassas Manor is the name of the small orphanage created by the men of the 326th Communications Reconnaissance Company. Here is a story of the creation, development and finally the closing of the orphanage when the children were moved to the Seoul Sanitarium and Hospital Orphanage. It provides a close look at how orphanages were created to meet a dire need and how they became institutionalized.
This orphanage was one element in the Seventh Day Adventist compound located to the east of Seoul. Having the hospital and the T.B. Sanitarium as part of the same complex was extremely beneficial to the well being of the children as they received medical care far better than most every other orphanage in Korea at the time. About 50 children were moved here when the orphanage run by the soldiers of the 326th Communication Reconnaissance Company closed their little orphanage called Manassas Manor. While this orphanage existed over 1,000 children, at one time or another, called it "home".
This organization, headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, was one of the major entities working with the creation and sustenance of orphanages in Korea from the beginning of the war. By 1954 they were helping support children in over 100 orphanages.
While the activities of the Holt family that began the large scale adoption of orphans from Korea began after the Korean War ended we include here a few items from their early years that we have come across in our research.
The involvements of US armed forces with the orphans and orphanages did not end with the end of the war and, in fact, continues to this day. Here we present some material telling of this continuing concern with the children of Korea by US Forces Korea.
Type the name of the orphanage you want more information on in the "Search" element and every article and photo identified with that orphanage will be listed for you. Check the list for various possible spellings of the orphanage you are looking for.

Bonus codes give clients a chance to increase their bet amount once they enter a specific code while joining a betting site. There is, however, no BetBright Bonus Code which is available for new sign clients but they can still enjoy many other bonuses if they join through an affiliate link or by simply registering at the company's site. Clients' free bet is credited automatically on sign up once the qualifying bet within the system settled as a loss. BetBright does not offer a no-deposit bonus on sports betting and, therefore, new clients need to make payments to be awarded the various deposit bonuses available from the site.
Gamblers looking to make more money on sports betting should take advantage of the BetBright in-play bonus available via the Betbright app. The in-play special 25% back as a free bet on all net daily losses incurred by a punter.
|Bonus Type
|Min. odd

|1x Bonus
New customers Offer! See Full Ts & Cs
No-deposit bonuses are used by betting companies to entice clients to sign up with a certain firm and enjoy betting services without making any deposits. The no-deposit amount and rules are different for various corporations and customers should familiarise themselves with the terms and conditions of the betting firm to ensure that they meet all the qualifications of being awarded the no-deposit bonus. There are currently no-deposit bonuses at BetBright, but the company has the right to introduce it whenever they want.
Betting companies have realised the need to cater for clients on all platforms to ensure that they increase the return on their sporting markets. Players are currently using their smartphones for their betting activities as opposed to desktops to enhance them play on-the-go. The in-play special -25% back as a free bet on all net daily losses - is purely for bets placed via the App or/and mobile website.
BetBright offers its customers specialised offers for clients who play on the mobile site or BetBright Mobile App to encourage many gamblers to use their phone for their betting activities, a move which reduces traffic on the main site considerably. The BetBright mobile site and app give players access to all the games provided on the main site and instant notifications of outcomes in a similar way to the main site.
BetBright does not ask for any bonus codes for clients to be awarded any bonuses. The company's system is set in such a way that the customer is automatically credited with a particular bonus once all the requirements are met.
New and existing clients have the chance to enjoy additional promotions on the BetBright site. These promotions may change from time to time based on the company's terms and conditions of adjusting bonuses. Customers, therefore, have the responsibility of checking BetBright 'Promotions' page to see the available offers being given.
Best Odds Guaranteed
BetBright offers best odds guaranteed on all the UK and Ireland horse races based on the following terms and conditions:
Clients at BetBright are awarded a bonus whenever their winning is more than the stake on the various rules set like:
BetBright provides an accumulator bonus to clients who place a bet of 5 or more matches on live betting or pre-match football matches by adding a free leg to the bet. The cumulative bonus must be 7/1 (8.0) or greater of non-bonus legs and clients will have access to the free bonus legs as selected by the company to choose from once they meet the qualifications. Any bonus is paid as cash while original non-bonus selections are settled as normal. The accumulator bonus is capped at a maximum of £100 per bet on each player which is not dependent on the accumulator potential returns.

FUEL: REFUELED is an enhancement modification for the game FUEL, which brings multiple bug-fixes, improvements and the addition of various new content.

FUEL: REFUELED V14.5 I never bothered to release (I will add that there has been many releases since then such as V15.0 to V15.4 :P). The UI shown here was what it was going to have - it's basically a very slight tweak on the original; some decals are removed, but at a basic level its just an improvement on the stock UI.
I thought i'd rework it a bit and bundle it in as one of the optional UI themes in FUEL: REFUELED - LITE. Shown here is the map screen (I guess the the huge "MAP" title gave that away xD), the changes include removing any decals that obstructed the map itself and the more compact economy HUD in the bottom left. On other menu's one notable change is the removing of LIVE branding and the pointless "PAUSE" text in the bottom right like all my other UI themes.
This doesn't need FUEL: REFUELED - LITE to run, it can be installed directly via the mod manager onto the upcoming vanilla Unofficial FUEL Patch #3 as-well. The grey background tint is a separate optional mod so you can mix and match to how you want it to look.
One final note - you should be able to see an additional helipad to the left of the screen, and if you look closely around the lake in the center you'll notice 3 additional POI's (in this case liveries). The helipad was always there, I just fixed it so it showed up on the map correctly - and the livery points are the bonus items that I've now integrated into the game itself (instead of unlocking via codes), there is also a livery up in the SE of Tsunami Reef to collect as-well.
Patch notes for Patch #3 and FUEL: REFUELED - LITE can be found here: Moddb.com

My question is I don't know if I've a gluten allergy but I've a lot of gas and bloating and wonder if gluten could be the reason, lots of people are talking about gluten is it just hype or is there really something to this gluten stuff? And if so, isn't it going to be hard to switch? Doesn't everything have gluten in it?
Stuffed and Puffy in Idaho
Hi Stuffed and Puffy,
I'm sorry to hear you're feeling uncomfortable. Actually there are a lot of studies being done about the many struggles people are associating with gluten sensitivities even if they aren't fully allergic to gluten. Even if you tested and didn't test positive it's still possible you could have gluten sensitivities. Here is a great article on gluten. Want to know what has gluten and what doesn't, know what to cook and when you're at a restaurant know what to choose. Get my grain list! You'll be surprised at what foods you CAN EAT! Gluten is commonly in wheat products but if you avoid wheat at least seven days you'll be able to test for results and get you're answer! You may also want to sign up for my 3 Days to Clean Eating to jumpstart your progress.
Stuffed and Puffy do let me know what you discover and let me know if you'd like more support, I'm here to help!
