Quorn Buttermilk Bites (300g)
Cook from frozen. Remove all packaging.
Preheat oven and baking tray to 220ᵒC/Fan 200ᵒC/Gas 7. Cook on the middle shelf. All appliances vary, these are guidelines only. Check product is pipping hot before serving.
Can you reheat Quorn?
When you use Quorn products in homemade recipes like cottage pie, Bolognese, curry and chilli, they are perfectly safe to re-heat if they've been kept nice and cool in the fridge and are eaten within 48 hours. If you can resist them for that long!
Can you freeze Quorn once cooked, and how long will it keep?
If you have any leftover or extra portions from your Quorn recipes, you can easily freeze them. They're great if you're running late and need a quick meal on the go. As long as all the other ingredients are suitable for freezing and reheating, you can store the dish in the freezer for up to one month. Always make sure the ingredients are cold before freezing. It's a good idea to take them out of the freezer the night before, defrost them fully in the refrigerator, then cook them within 24 hours, making sure they're piping hot before serving.
Once cooked, how long can you keep Quorn in the fridge?
Tasty leftovers from your Quorn recipes can easily be used for the next day's lunch or dinner.
There are just a few things you need to remember. Once any leftovers are cooked, cool quickly, cover and keep in the fridge. Use within 48 hours and make sure when reheating that all the food is piping hot before serving. Remember, don't reheat more than once.
How long should I cook Quorn ingredients to get the best texture?
Quorn products are easy to use. Here are some hints and tips to help you get the best out of your Quorn meals:
- Quorn products can be cooked using an oven, grill, hob, microwave or barbecue. They're delicious, tasty and easy to prepare in no time at all. What's not to love? Quorn Mince, Quorn Fillets and Quorn Pieces can be cooked from frozen, so there's no need to defrost. This means you can create the perfect chilli or curry in 20 minutes.
- Quorn products don't shrink when they're cooked, so bear this in mind when you are adding Quorn Mince, Fillets or Pieces to your recipes.
- As with all foods, make sure your Quorn ingredients are piping hot before eating but be careful not to overcook them. Remember, Quorn products don't change colour or texture in the same way other proteins do, so pay careful attention to timings during cooking.
We're still doing the maths on this one…
We're working on carbon footprints for more of our products, and hope to have a figure for this one soon, so that you can understand the carbon emissions for farm to shop.Find out more

More investors hypnotized by Tinder. (article IAC/InterActiveCorp's Tinder Catches Fire)
"We have taken a more conservative view with respect to the current size of Tinder's user base and now believe that, currently, the app has 22 million-24 million users. While we are more conservative on the current scale, we believe that Tinder can reach a user base of 50 million by the end of 2016. We remain highly confident that revenues associated with Tinder's premium could easily exceed USD150 million in 2016 with an additional USD90 million opportunity in annual advertising revenue. Our view of Tinder Plus revenue assumes a total user base of 50 million, of which 5% takes a premium service at USD5 a month."
My bet: Nobody will pay.
much money will you need to destroy Tinder forever launching an
improved copycat of it? Like Facebook destroyed MySpace during 2009.
Less than USD100 million, but that is done, it is Bumble (backed by Badoo).
you seen the annual revenue of Match, Chemistry, OkCupid, Meetic, and
other IAC's (nasdaq: IACI) online dating sites excluding Tinder? In the
range of USD 800 Million with profits. The prospective revenue of Tinder
is no more than USD 100 million because it will not outperform Badoo.
As a social discovery site, Tinder, could make no profit at all, like
Zoosk! (pending: ZSK)
"online dating" is a broad concept to define a large group of different proposals.
Social dating is vaporware.
The Online Dating Industry does not need any improvement. It does need INNOVATIONS!
The key to long-lasting romance is STRICT PERSONALITY SIMILARITY and not "meet other people with similar interests".

Post subject: Security Advisory
Has anyone seen this? Can't find a response from
. Should I be worried?
Original Advisory: Wednesday, August 13, 2003
Severity: Medium - High
Description: An attacker using the
(Voice Over IP) carrier
has the ability to spoof the caller ID of a called party through the three-
way calling feature. This trick essentially acts similar to a POTS-based
diverter, as it allows the attacker to carry out illicit telephone
activities while hiding his or her phone number.
Version: This was tested using Cisco Systems' ATA 186
hardware on the
Author: Nathan Wosnack
"Using an existing high-speed Internet connection,
enables anyone to make and receive phone calls - worldwide - with a touch-
tone telephone. Offering quality phone service bundled with enhanced IP
communications services, our interactive communications portal is a
gateway to advanced features only available through digital telephone
service. Utilizing our global network and advanced routing technologies,
offers an innovative, feature-rich and cost effective alternative
to traditional telephony services."
Description of the problem:
By using SIP-enabled voice over IP (VOIP) hardware such as the Cisco ATA
186 Analog Telephone Adaptor, it's possible to spoof the caller
identification that shows up on a call. The attacker only needs to call up
a regular phone line (POTS - plain old telephone service), place the
caller on hold, flash over to a dial tone using the threeway call feature,
and then call a second party for this to work. The caller ID information
that tends to show up is the first called party's telephone number with
either their name listed or "unknown name" showing on a conventional
caller-id enabled telephone. The opportunity for abuse is high and could
allow the determined attacker to social engineer your telephone, cable, or
utility company into modifying your services. Since many companies only
require the person's name, address, and caller id for account
authentication, this vulnerability helps the attacker. The other
opportunities this vulnerability gives the attacker is the ability to
spoof anyone's caller id information for phone hacking (often
called "phreaking"); such as breaking into voice mail accounts and PBX
exploitation for the purpose of proprietary information gathering and
telephone fraud.
Solutions to the problem:
This issue is something that
will need to investigate on their end.
The proper routing of caller id information after a third-party call is
initiated is the problem, and needs to be resolved by the
IT staff
figuring out why their
switching equipment doesn't pass this data
properly. The Hypervivid Solutions staff has contacted
about this issue, so it can hopefully be resolved shortly.
For everyone else, your best defense is to be aware of who is calling you.
If you happen to receive a phone call from an unknown party who wants to
place you on hold, hang up immediately and then call them back.
If you hear a recording telling you the number is not in service, then
you've likely reached a
gateway number, which mean you were likely
called by someone attempting to exploit this
In the past year, Voice over IP telephony has seen many security issues.
issues range from vendor implementations of the Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP), problems with remote-accessible code which can
be exploited to cause a denial of service,
phones that are weak in
ways that facilitate man-in-the-middle attacks directed at intercepting
telephone traffic, and most recently 3-way caller ID spoofing on
When the information security community works closely with vendors and
carriers, these problems can be resolved quickly and efficiently enough to
limit or even eliminate any abuse by phone phreaks and criminals.

The Caller Id spoofing was happening with Call Transfer (announcement). The feature was activated using #91. It was not the 3-way calling feature that was causing the spoofing.
Over the past couple of months,
has disabled #91 from doing this. So we all have nothing to worry about.

Yeah you can do this with camophone.com too. This is nothing new. Infact you can do it with most any PBX system. BUT remember... you are spoofing CID... ANI is what the phone company uses for things such as call tracking and 800 numbers... so you really aren't spoofing anything that hasn't been done before.. and this is not a huge deal.

I have personally used the service
to spoof my caller id, and get into other cellphone voicemail accounts with ease...
Its not about the fact that this technology has been around, its about how easy it is for anyone who doesnt want to buy their own pbx system and pay through the nose to the phone company for the dedicated line. Or mess with their
hardware, etc... Easy end user access...

Natural Resources Board listening sessions set
on plans for hunting and trapping in state parks
The public will be able to present their views on a proposed plan to implement a new law opening state parks to hunting and trapping at a series of listening sessions. State Natural Resources Board members will conduct the sessions around the state in late October and early November.
Natural Resources Board Chair David Clausen noted the listening sessions are being held to get input on how to implement the law, not the law itself, which the Legislature approved last session and Gov. Scott Walker signed in April. Act 168 - known as the Sporting Heritage Bill – expands hunting and trapping in state parks. See the full text of Act 168.
Two or three Natural Resources Board members will attend each listening session. At the December 11 – 12 Natural Resources Board meeting, Department of Natural Resources staff will present a plan to implement the law and the full Board will discuss the comments they received at the listening sessions.
People attending listening sessions will be able to review maps designating which areas are proposed as open and closed to hunting, and will be able to comment to Board members on the department's proposal to implement the law. Maps of proposed open and closed hunting areas in state parks are available for review online.
Attendees who would like to speak or submit written comments should sign up at the door on arriving at the session.

Millions of Blackberry users across 2 continents suffer through a 2nd outage in less than a week. Canadian-based Research in Motion blamed the outage on a software upgrade that was confined to North and South America. Phone service remained available, but "Crackberry" users were unable to send or receive e-mails and instant messages… causing a period of intense cravings for millions of addicts. This comes at a tough time for Blackberry, which is under mounting pressure from iPhone and Android.
San Francisco is considering passing an ordinance that would require retailers to prominently display the amount of radiation emitted by cellphones. Taking it a step further, Democrat Andrea Boland from Maine has proposed to State legislators that cell phones directly carry permanent labels, warning of the risk of cancer from exposure to low-grade electromagnetic radiation.
Lexi-Comp On-Hand now available for Android. The apps are coming in full force, but where are the devices? Google's device bid is making more sense with each passing day.
TransMedia releases its Glide OS Extension for Internet Explorer. According to the Company, "Glide effectively transforms the Microsoft Internet Explorer into a browser OS with a complete application suite fully compatible with Microsoft Office and 20GB of free storage." Seeking to broaden the base of its rights-based Glide OS media sharing service, Transmedia created a spin-off back in October called Glide Health Corporation. Glide Health markets itself as the complete mobile desktop for patients, doctors and other healthcare professionals. The Glide Health service, hailed as a true cloud solution, is compatible with Windows, Mac, Linux, Solaris, Android, Blackberry, iPhone, Palm Pre, Symbian, and Windows Mobile. Stay tuned… this looks interesting.
PWC releases its Top 10 Health Industry Issues in 2010. The report includes some good data points for anyone researching the industry. Of particular interest, the report includes a reference extracted from a PWC Consumer Access Survey that suggests 21% of consumers are willing to use mobile devices (including text messaging) to access healthcare. I guess that means keep the iPhone apps coming…
And if it's industry research data you're looking for, check out MobiHealthNews' Wireless Health: State of the Industry, 2009 Year End Report. The report is a comprehensive year in review, including analyst numbers, venture deals, and mergers and acquisitions activity. MobiHealthNews has done a great job collecting and collating data without a heavy-handed interpretation or leaf-reading. Kudos.

It's a sad day for diesel truck lovers. Jeep has confirmed that it will not offer a diesel engine in the new 2011 Grand Cherokee.
Utility vehicles and small compact cars are about the only places in the U.S. market where diesel vehicles have had any success and yet Jeep has cut the Mercedes-sourced 3.0-liter V6 that it offered on the previous-gen Grand Cherokee. "The business case has to make sense," said Grand Cherokee chief engineer Phil Jansen at a recent press event, commenting that the urea aftertreatment system required to make the engine pass emissions must comply with emissions standards in all 50 states. More difficult than making the system meet emission standards, however, is getting customers to pay for it, with the cost of such an aftertreatment system certain to drive diesel Grand Cherokee pricing to a point where it would no longer be considered by buyers.
Buyers for the diesel option were already scarce, making up just 8 percent of all Grand Cherokee models last year.
As to whether Jeep would consider bringing the diesel back, Jansen said it would be something they would look at once diesel luxury SUV sales made up 15 to 20 percent of the market. In other words… not any time soon.

Driving halfway across Reno to work out gives me ample time to listen to podcasts. One of my favorites is NPR's TED Radio hour. With last week marking the start of my black belt test, I though it would be pertinent to load the Champions episode from last July. Now, far be it from me to suggest I'm a champion at much of anything besides, perhaps, cat wrangling, or coming up with creative epithets to mutter at my computer when I'm troubleshooting code at work. But don't we all, on some level, look for those brief brushes with greatness in the hopes that some small iota of success will embed itself in our own identity?
What struck me most from the show was a quote from the final featured TED talk. Speaker Sarah Lewis described watching a women's varsity archery training session. For three hours, the women fired arrow after arrow at targets distant enough to make Hawkeye squint. Sometimes they hit close to the mark; other times they missed the target altogether. Despite the physical and mental exhaustion, these women came back day after day to do this same thing, over and over again.
Lewis's ultimate interest was in the difference between success and mastery. After watching the archery session, she concluded, "Success is hitting that ten ring, but mastery is knowing that it means nothing if you can't do it again and again." And yet, she says, many greats, especially artists and authors, don't appreciate what she calls "the gift of the near win."
The near win is that level of excellence you reach in the constant pursuit of mastery. It's getting so close to your vision that you can taste it. It's a fountain of motivation to propel you forward towards you goals.
What a great concept to keep in mind for checklisting, I thought. An integral requirement for the first half of the black belt test, there are 111 different techniques, combos and rounds in which candidates must exhibit proficiency. If you perform the technique correctly (and with gusto!), you check that technique off the list — thus, the term "checklisting." Over the past three years, I've watched many friends endure the frustration and panic of failing one or more checks over and over. Sometimes it was something silly, like the most basic boxing move ever: The left jab. Sometimes it was something that the candidate had to wonder if they were even physically capable of performing, like a tae kwon do wheel kick.
But the amazing thing is that the absolute worst check for each person, the move or technique they got so close to completing so many times, yet missed again and again — that move almost always ended up being that person's best technique of all. They practiced at the dojo, they practiced at home, they practiced at the office. After missing the check, some would go home and cry, others got royally pissed and ate a bunch of Ben 'n Jerry's. Yet if you watch any of these black belts train today, if you were see them perform whatever technique it was that frustrated them most, you'd be blown away. You'd assume they were naturally talented at that move because they make it look so effortless. And if you were to compliment them, they'd probably laugh nervously and give you shifty eyes for the rest of the session.
Even though I've checklisted a lot this week, I've been a bit of a chicken about it and haven't checklisted on the things I know will frustrate me the most. However, even though I'm nervous about it, I hope that when I do fail, then fail again, and then fail again and again, I'll see it for what it is: The gift of a near win.

Universal Serial Bus
(Redirected from USB)
USB stands for Universal Serial Bus, a data transfer format that has become, well, universal in the past several years. The USB standard is used for everything from printers to hard drives, to lights, to flash memory units. The popularity of USB has made the technology inexpensive to the point where basically anyone can make a USB device.
USB comes in three versions: 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0. Modern implementations allow for things like power over the USB line, and faster data transfer rates. A popular trend in the PC market is to make USB 1.1 hardware and advertise it as "Hi-Speed" USB, which implies 2.0 compatibility and makes more money.

Don't know abt you, but I think that having Tony Tan as president is a waste of his talents and bad for the mgt of our reserves.
The minister of law, Shanmugam, has explained what the president is elected and empowered to do under the constitution. A statement by Shanmugam said that under the constitution, the president has custodial powers, not executive powers. "He can veto or block government actions in specified areas, but he has no role to advance his own policy agenda".
Singapore has a parliamentary system of government, with the PM being the head of government and has the authority and responsibility to govern Singapore. National policies and running the government are the responsibility of the PM and cabinet.
The statement also explained that the president's veto powers over the government are limited to specific areas.
Later, he added that the duties of president were important but again stressed they were not executive.
Tony Tan was CEO of OCBC and DPM. He is now the executive director of GIC which, it seems, has done pretty well in the crisis, unlike Temasek.
GIC made money on its Citibank stake and while it has a book loss on its UBS investment it was an investment that at the time had UBS shareholders upset. They had wanted UBS to call a rights issue, rather than give GIC what they saw as a steal. Contrast this with Temasek. It lost billions on its Merrill Lynch deal, cutting its losses when hedgies were buying BoA (the acquirer of ML).
Does Singapore have so much talent in investing our reserves that it can afford for someone of his stature to be a security guard for S'pore? I mean George Yeo, Mah Bow Tan, Raymond Lim, Cry Baby Lim, Wong Kan Seng and Goh Chok Tong, we can certainly do without with in executive roles. But Tony Tan?
I think, he is still needed in an executive role to grow our reseves.
Maybe in 2017, he should be president. But certainly not now.
I'm sure, in the meantime, we can find someone else who wants be a $4-million a year jaga with a bed in the Istana, rather than a chapoy on the pavement. If you are too young to know what a jaga and chapoy are, ask yr parents or grandparents.

The state of hip hop is forever changing, always intangible. Everything from instrumental style to lyrical content to the kinds of instruments and techniques used to produce music, hip hop has drastically changed. As music and hip-hop progress, we, as the consumers, yet more importantly hip-hop and rap fans, have grown to like and sometimes love the most the ear-catching and songs that out. Nevertheless, these are not always albums that would hold the most substance or are the most creative. Throughout the past five years, there have been many phenomenal albums that peaked the interest of hip-hop community. Here is my personal top ten Hip Hop/Rap albums released in the past five years.
10: Rodeo by Travis Scott (2015)
Rodeo is Travis' first commercial release and he came through with quite the star-studded album. Executive produced by Mike Dean, the man behind the mixing and (some) production in Kanye West's first two albums, Rodeo features a myriad of different artists, such as Kanye West, The Weeknd, Future, Young Thug, Justin Bieber and more. This 16-track project was filled with bangers, from "3500" and "Antidote," the leading singles for the project, to well as incredible gems like "Maria I'm Drunk" featuring Young Thug and Justin Bieber, and Impossible. Despite Travis's history of relying on lyrics about drug use, spending money and stunting, Rodeo is a surprisingly balanced album. From songs embodying the feeling of being shitfaced to completely turnt to moments of self-reflection, this is Travis's most honest and personal project yet. However don't go into this project expecting incredible lyricism. Where Travis really shines is his ability to take many of the ideas floating in the mainstream and juxtaposing them next to elements of rock and punk with an artfulness that many mainstream artists lack. There is an extremely visible presence of a Houston inspired, southern style of rap, which Travis has been known to take after, especially being a Houston native. Scattered throughout the album, there are some incredible bangers like the two lead singles and deep cuts like "Nightcrawler" with Sway lee from Rae Stremmurd and Chief Keef or "Piss on Your Grave," the psych rock banger featuring Kanye West. However the presence of songs like "Impossible" and "90210" balance out the banger-heavy project; It is on these tracks that Travis strays away from debauchery and drugs trading them for subjects like, his meteoric rise to fame or his life before celebrity. Overall, Rodeo is a great debut project and an incredible precursor for the rest of his career.
9: Dirty Sprite 2 (DS2) by Future (2015)
Some hip hop purists would call Future the embodiment of everything wrong with the game today, however from his one liners to his incredible beat selection Future is the culmination of some of the greatest things the game has to offer. Dirty Sprite 2 represents a return to the Future of the past, the mixtape Future, the Future before Ciara. Dirty Sprite 2 even in its namesake holds true to this idea of hunger and pain. It's why it's named after the mixtape that put him on the map: Dirty Sprite. Led by lead singles and major hits like "Thought It Was a Drought" and "Trap Niggas", these songs set the tone for the album and gives you an idea of what Future is all about. Future, an Atlanta-native, shows his Southern style through his trap beats and countless bars about lean and Xanax, a culture he essentially becomes the pinnacle of. Similar to Rodeo what DS2 falls short in as far as lyrics Future makes up for in incredibly rich, deep and drugged out instrumentals. What is special about future is his relationship with each beat. The way his voice sinks into every instrumental, essentially acting as another instrument. This approach to music is revolutionary and is a style much of the mainstream is beginning to copy. The themes of the songs can get tiring and old at times, but Future has a talent for bringing out the best in the producers he works with. He frequently enlists producers like Metro Boomin, Sonny Digital, Zaytoven, and Southside to create a sound that cannot be ignored, the new Atlanta sound. All of the songs are fast paced and when listening to this project, you cannot help but want to have a good time. If there is some way you have not listened to this album, get out from under the rock you have been under and listen to Future's DS2.
8: Summertime '06 by Vince Staples (2015)
Vince Staples' sophomore studio album is fucking great. Summertime '06 boasts a whopping 20 tracks, filled with eerie interludes and animated songs, that spread across 2 discs. Each disc is a window into Vince's perspective, his opinions on what's going on in society and stories from his life before rap, stories from his life as a gangbanger. The melodic album definitely has some fast and slow points, yet somehow it all meshes together well, in some twisted yet beautiful way. Executive producer No I.D. manages to create an incredible grunge yet melodic vibe and still manage to maintain some aspects of traditional hip-hop. Following the first track "Ramona Park Legend Pt. 1", an ode to Vince's home in Long Beach, California, the album's true opening song "Lift Me Up" sets a haunting, exciting tone for a roller-coaster ride of an album. Other songs like "3230" and "Summertime" seem to be very beachy hip-hop songs that brighten up the mood of the album. When listening to the album from being to finish, the listening experience feels like Vince is telling you the story of him growing up. He also touches upon his Californian roots and his experience of growing up in the hoods Long Beach. Vince has a penchant for telling the stories of his hometown. It is that that makes this album so great. Give it a listen.
7: Acid Rap by Chance the Rapper (2013)
Every artist has a moment clarity in their career, a redefined sense of self. Acid rap is one of the clearest examples of that refound sense of self. Not only is it one of those career defining mixtapes but it's also one of the most beautiful coming of age pieces of artwork of our generation. From the painfully honest, introspective tracks like Acid Rain when he raps about his steady rise, the uncomfortable pains of growing up and the suffering of seeing his "My big homie die[d] young; just turned older than him" to the bittersweet ode's to the days of smoking weed and burnt holes in his hoodies. Acid Rap is a startlingly honest portrait of the youth, from exploring themes of his own struggles with pills to overwhelming themes of nostalgia; And the music seemed to reflect this juxtaposition, in this, there is an overarching powerful gospel influence always parallel to ideas of youth and joy. It is clear that Chance identifies powerful feelings of happiness with the Church. However on tracks like "Paranoia" (the second half of "Pusha Man"), all elements of the Church are gone. Instead are Nosaj Thing's eerie synths paired with Chance's own melancholy bars about the harsh realities of gun violence. This mixtape is one of the most honest projects since College dropout. It is the in the almost direct influence of Kanye's early work. It is a project that took over at a time where Drill music was at the forefront of Chicago hip hop. Chance represented the experiences of a generation of lost youths, caught up in a world they might not be quite ready for.
6: Piñata by Freddie Gibbs (2014)
Piñata is already a contemporary classic, one that holds its own among the likes of legendary gangsta rap albums like 50 Cent's Get Rich or Die Trying or Clipse's Hell Hath No Fury. From Freddie Gibbs's incredible performance to Madlib's astonishing beats, an album of this caliber is a rarity. Piñata is an album that explores Freddie Gibbs' own life and experiences selling crack from a deeply personal level. He raps about a life full of crime, misery and darkness but despite acknowledging these aspects of his life he takes pride in his place in the streets. On songs like "Thuggin'" Freddie Gibbs's grim reality envelops him as he revels in the darkness of belonging to the streets: He mentions a having to "serve my own fucking family members" while still "Straight thuggin' And it feels so good, uh and it feels so right uh." Though having to come to grips with harsh realities like family members hooked on crack he still loves his lifestyle. Freddie Gibbs creates a sonic painting of a world all too real while still reveling in his own infamy. He, however, does not neglect to explore the changings in his life due to his fame and recent wealth. On songs like "Deeper," he tells a story about his relationship with his high school sweetheart and how his thuggish lifestyle affected their relationship, especially after he returned from jail. But as time goes on he becomes more and more popular and his wealth increases their relationship begins to change again. Where Gibbs's sometimes repetitive flow and content fails, Madlib makes up with some of the most intricate and dramatic beats of the past ten years. Madlib is able to perfectly capture a different moment in each beat, while still perfectly complementing Freddie Gibbs. This is a masterpiece of an an album and a must listen for any gangsta rap fan.
5: So it goes by Ratking (2014)
Raking is one of those rare jewels that only come around once or twice a generation. The already defunct hip hop group was able to single-handedly redefine what it meant to be a New York Hip hop group. Coming through with a style unheard of in the history of hip-hop, pulling from countless sources of inspiration from Cam'rom to Hardcore rock; So it Goes is like a sonic love letter to the city that birthed them. Sporting Life's production is noisy and cacophonous, layers on layers of obscure samples, almost impossible to pull apart. His production takes after traditional boom bap while simultaneously mixing elements of noise and hardcore music. Though similar to the likes of Death Grips, Massive Attack, and Clipping Sporting Life's production is in a vein of it's own. Sporting Life's genius come from the way he kneads the spirit of the city into the music. Wiki one of Ratking;s two vocalists has one of the most distinctive flow's in the game, not to mention he's one of its best lyricists. His delivery is raw, gritty aggressive constantly shifting to match the beat's eccentricity, without sacrificing his own style. On standout songs like "Canal", his flow embodies the overwhelming experience of Canal St. during rush hour. He raps about the "thug uptown, comes down To hustle on Canal" and his own experiences traveling making moves in the city. Hak, on the other hand, does everything Wiki couldn't. Hak's flow is laid back, his cadence taking a stronger influence from grime acts like Dizzy Rascal while also switching up his style to sing against these beautiful trumpets like the ones on Snow Beach. So it Goes is an incredible piece of New york Hip Hop history. From the beats to the flow's there's something about this project that is so New York, In a way that no one has ever managed to do. It's an incredibly forward thinking and original album and one that's going to be remembered for as long as hip hop exists.
4: The Money Store by Death Grips (2011)
Right of the bat, The Money Store Kicks of with one of the of the most powerful and almost unsettling songs I've ever heard. Like like the infamous cult leader and mass murderer Charles Manson this is an album that radiates with aggression and violence, and a surrealism never before seen by the hip hop community. This is Death Grips phenomenal debut album and (as of right now) my favorite project from them so far. On this record Death Grips creates a maximalist sound, one that has already left its fingerprints on much of the underground and progressive/experimental hip hop world at large. The lyrics are ferocious yet strangely poetic, though you might have to pull up the lyrics to understand them considering they are often screamed at an almost deafening level. These lyrics are often dark tales of lives addled with drug addiction and pain. Listening to this album cover to cover to this album is quite the ride, one that is almost indescribable. It is intense, powerful and strangely psychedelic but truly hit or miss. The Money Store is definitely one of the most uncommon releases in Hip Hop ever.
- XXX by Danny Brown
Danny Brown is the wildest rapper since Old Dirty Bastard and XXX is his 36 Chambers. XXX is a perfect picture of modern day Detroit, from the vulgar, filthy, hilariously violent wordplay to the harsh realities the listener is forced to listen to, XXX is a wild ride from beginning to end. What makes this album so great however is the concept behind the album. Like much of Kendrick Lamar's work you won't truly be able to appreciate the album as a whole until you listen to it from beginning to end. From track to track to track Danny explores the idea of morbid drug use and violence, by taking these ideas and raising them to an almost nauseating volume (similar to death grips). From a lyrical standpoint, Danny Brown is hilarious, bringing bar after bar about anything from shitting "all on yo mixtape naw literally shit all on yo mixtape" to an entire song dedicated to eating pussy. Danny Brown's music is violent, wild and dark while simultaneously hilarious. Another example of this is the song "Pac Blood" where he rhymes about having a rhymes so infectious it can "Make Sarah Palin deep-throat 'til she hiccup" or a "Flow can make Gandhi grab the burner, wanna shoot the shit." Flow-wise Danny takes heavy influence from Old Dirty bastard, bringing much of the same energy and charisma, however, Danny takes this flow and raps in a very distinctive high pitched voice (One that may take some getting used to.) The instrumentals on this project manage to take the Detroit's "Motown" sound and pervert and corrupt it to reflect Danny Brown's dark drug-filled reality. This is Detroit from Danny Brown's perspective. This violent dark drug-fuelled side of Danny brown disappears in the second half of this LP, As Danny's eccentric flow is replaced by a deeper more sober sounding voice. The first half of the record was like Danny's perspective while under the influence of his morbid drug use while the second half is like the morning after. Danny takes the second half of his LP to explore the downsides of being a drug dealer as well as the pain of addiction. On songs like DNA, he raps about his family and their history with substance abuse and his disposition to the addiction he struggles with. The humor is gone from his voice as he raps about selling cocaine to addicted college students. The final phases of the album are the most provocative as we see both worlds collapse into each other. This is where we see the addicted Danny brown as he struggles to find the high he once had, doing anything he can to not just to get high, but to survive. XXX is an incredible album featuring unmatched lyricism an eccentric flow, the kind of flow that hasn't been seen the days of Wu-tang. It's an overall a great project and definitely worth a couple listens.
2: Yeezus by Kanye West
Yeezus was Kanye West's sixth studio album and was by far his angriest most abrasive released LP yet. Yeezus reflects much of the anger and frustration he felt because of his feud with Nike because of the lack of royalties Kanye received for the sneakers he had released with Nike. He was on a warpath (google the "you ain't got the answers sway" interview) to find someone to finally fund his ideas and creativity, something he eventually found in Adidas. His inability to create created this incredible internal struggle an experience he describes as being "suffocated." This album is also a reflection of his own struggle to acclimate to a life of commitment: "Got the kids and the Wife life / but can't wake up from the night life" he raps on "I'm in it," one of the most provocative songs on the album. Even among Kanye's previous work, this album is easily the most experimental and unique of his portfolio yet. This 10 track project samples various artists from various genres taking influence from everyone Death Grips to Chicago drill. Kanye masterfully weaves in samples from people like Nina Simone on "Blood on the Leaves" to the Holy Name of Mary Choral Family [A church's chorus] on the album's opening track "On Sight". Engineered and executive produced by Rick Rubin, the album is host to a wealth of contributors from FKA Twigs to Arca to Travis Scott and Mike Dean. The instrumentals are dark and abrasive implementing heavy basslines and dark booming synths. Kanye masters the art of taking samples and molding them to the point where they are unrecognizable, creating something entirely new. Songs like "Black Skinhead" and "I'm In It" are emblematic of this idea. On "Black Skinhead" he takes a Marylin Manson song and flips, it creating the bones of what is "Black Skinhead." Yeezus is not only possibly the most polarizing album of our time, but also one of the most ahead of its time albums. It's an album that won't be truly appreciated until we hear the echoes of it in the future.
1: To Pimp a Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Last year Kendrick Lamar's Album dropped in the heart of winter, it was mid-February and somewhere in California Top Dog was cursing out whatever label exec fucked up the rollout for TPAB. However fans were ecstatic to finally receive Kendrick's new album, an album that Peter Rosenberg called Kendrick's best album yet, an album said to be the key to ending gang violence. TPAB is the greatest hip hop album since the Illmatic, it an album that is able to capture the black experience in such a deep and personal manner, in a way that is unseen in today's hip-hop landscape. Kendrick raps about his own experience with poverty and fame, the relationship he had not only with his family but with his people as a whole. Like most of his LPs, this is an album designed to listen to from beginning to end. The album opens up with "Wesley's theory" an ode to the danger and temptations of fame and Hollywood in juxtaposition to race and stereotypes. It is a song laced with self-hate emblematic of his own place in Hollywood in the context of his race. Each song shows a progression, each a different piece of Kendrick's experience, from the shame and suicidal thoughts expressed on "u" to the feelings of elation, hope, and self-worth expressed on "i". The instrumentals are built of off elements of jazz, funk, spoken word, even some rock and (of course) classic Cali gangsta rap such as Tupac or Ice Cube. Executive produced by Top Dog and Dr. Dre, TPAB features a legendary line-up of jazz and hip hop artists: including Flying Lotus, Snoop Dogg, Thundercat and legendary funk artist George Clinton (Of parliament) The album has tremendous fluidity, from song to song, and makes the whole album feel like a masterpiece from beginning to end.

Re: Vietnamese, Thai or Filipina girls
Filipinas, hands down. But you should be willing to relocate to their country, which isn't for everyone. And of course: don't date or marry a bargirl. The Philippines has no divorce, so you better be damn sure she's the one. I have heard some good things about Vietnam, too. Thailand, not so much. You are half Thai yourself which gives you an advantage there probably, but I don't think the majority of Thai women makes good marriage material. Vietnamese girls tend to be lighter, more Chinese looking, whereas Thai girls are of the darker Malay variety. Filipina girls come in all shapes and sizes, and in all colors, so appearance wise I would say the Philippines gives you more options. Also: poverty. Even if you are not Mr. Suave, a woman from a poor background forgives some minor flaws a lot easier. There's quite a lot of Thai girls who aren't exactly poor, whereas there's a lot more poverty in the Philippines. This means you have more options over there, whereas she has few. Use this to your advantage.
Re: Vietnamese, Thai or Filipina girls
DrRonnie thank you for a relevant OP expressing what is on many minds.
MZ thank you for a clear and useful reply.

Re: Vietnamese, Thai or Filipina girls
I would say Filipina too.
I don't have myself experiences with them unless on internet dating webstie,and it was very fast.
I wouldn't think Thaies women are very good for long term relationship..yes it can work..successful stories exists,i can constat looking around me,seeing what i've lived there,as a foreigner,having a different mindset of mainstream Thais can make communication difficult.
Also they have this avoiding suffering precept,more if they find a foreigner this is why in the first place they avoided Thais men,so in my opinion Thaies women in general are not reliable.
They can be good in p4p setting,a free relationship or some friendships and i would be quite dubious of serious stuffs with them.
Vietnamese women are not compatible for me.
There are some reasons mostly as they can be very dominative,not into sex in general,having a passive mood to new men and many of them are clearly not into Western men.
That just leave Filipina who are not the perfect match of course but few things can help them beat the two others..speak English,mixed Western Asian cultures,have the Catholics education and believe in a stable couple,are into Western men not only because of money but the white factor.
If i still fall building something in Thailand having near me a serious Thai woman who won't do a runner at the minimal setback,i will try the philippines.
Sadly i know already the country in general won't be as appealing to me compared to Thailand.
That's why i'm waiting as hard to makes something achievable in Thailand even if i understand besides p4p or just a random sex relation,i can see the small chance it will work.
At the end,we all agree here these options are better than Western women.
Re: Vietnamese, Thai or Filipina girls
i was considering vietnamese and chinese and other ethnicities but the more i hear about their personalties and teh countries the less i like what im hearing. Im thinking indonesian and fili women are probably the most accomodating to a guy like me who likes passionate affectionate and simple women. I think being married to a korean/chinese/vietnamese or even thai woman would drive me nuts
Re: Vietnamese, Thai or Filipina girls
have you been to vietnam? My impressions are vietnamese are probably more like chinese or thai than fili women so probably wont be my cup of tea.
Re: Vietnamese, Thai or Filipina girls
I've never been to Vietnam but i have read all around,i have friends who have been there too.
I think Vietnam is closer to China than Thailand.
Vietnam is a lot more conversative regarding sex and p4p.
Vietnam women are no pro western guy like PI.
They have also the war history so this makes a country who is not very welcoming in general to westerners.
That doesn't mean you can't have a good stay there..some of my friends liked it...but not for the women,more for the beach or the food and the scenery.
They are a high number of Vietnamese women here in France and they are not very cool to hang out.
Vietnam guys or even Chinese guys i know goes to Thailand for fun not to China or Vietnam.
I would say Thai women are closer to PI women than Vietnam women to Thai.
Re: Vietnamese, Thai or Filipina girls
Vietnamese women look more chinese than thai and their mannerisms and attitude from what i can tell and heard doesn't sound close to thai or filipina. Vietnamese are so hot but unfortunately i dont think id like their attitude so I think im gonna pass on any of these countries. Cambodia women are probably lousy right? cause they aren't as pretty as vietnamese but they probably aren't much better than thai women in personality?
Re: Vietnamese, Thai or Filipina girls
I don't know enough Vietnamese women to comment, but they have a reputation for being submissive as a part of their culture, and also honoring to parents. A lot of them would be atheist or Buddhist, I would guess, though. Having very different beliefs from your spouse can make things difficult, especially if you are dealing with someone from a different worldview with all kinds of customs and superstitions that you don't understand. If you don't have any common ground in beliefs, that's difficult.
My wife is from Indonesia, but we are both Christians from similar church backgrounds, so we have a lot of common ground in how we view things and how we can work through areas where we disagree.
There are girls with a sweet, cheerful disposition, I would imagine, in every country if you get the right one. In some countries, they may be the minority.
I know there are a lot of young women who have an unfriendly sour disposition if you talk to them in the US, both from when I was young, and even nowadays just from talking to people without having any kind of romantic intentions. I didn't see that much in Indonesia where it seems like most people are friendly and pleasant, including young women, especially back when I was young and single.
Re: Vietnamese, Thai or Filipina girls
vietnam has a small christian population and on top of that not many are protestant. Indonesia has a lot larger in quantity for both christians and protestant in general. part of it cause of the sheer population but even as a percentage its higher. So if one uses online dating its more likely to find a christian or protestant in general in indonesia. Vietnam youd have to resort to probably going to church to find that needle in a haystack but the government is quite oppressive and girls are even scared to visit your hotel because of it. Vietnam are beautiful but the oppressive government, lack of christians, and a a "chinese" mentality makes me think indonesia and fili are probably a much better way to go.
Re: Vietnamese, Thai or Filipina girls
mr man do they speak only indonesian in all teh baptist and protestant churches in indonesia? What about churches elsewhere that were started by foreigners?
Re: Vietnamese, Thai or Filipina girls
ITT people who have never been to Vietnam tell us what they do and do not like about Vietnamese women based upon what they have "heard" and how they think they would be.
Classic HA.
Re: Vietnamese, Thai or Filipina girls
If I remember right, the only Baptist church I've been to in Jakarta was an English speaking one, or had an English speaking service at least. But most local congregations speak the local language.
Re: Vietnamese, Thai or Filipina girls
Oh yes, I forgot. There are churches that speak the languages of the regional dialect. Large cities may have English services or English speaking congregations. You get a lot of Asian expats at those meetings and local Indonesians who speak English well. Some of those people studied abroad or they just speak English. Some of them go to a local congregation, too. When I was younger, some of the unmarried women would say hi to me every week and we'd have a little congregation. I think some of the women went there to find expatriate Christian husbands. Most of the men were married, though. I got married off, which shrunk the potential dating pool by one.

Decorative tattooing is fundamentally rare within the Islamic world. Permanent tattoos are forbidden in Sunni Islam, but are permissible in Shia Islam. According to the book of Sunni traditions, Sahih Bukhari, "The Prophet forbade the mutilation (or maiming) of bodies." The Kurd's however, at over 30 million total population worldwide yet predominately spread throughout Northern Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and Iran are culturally based within Kurdish culture itself versus mainline Islamic tradition. The Kurd's predate Islam by a considerable swath of time of nearly 1,000 years.Thus, despite traditional hand tattooing, the "Deq" itself is in a long decline, ink to skin not only remains a practice tattooing has also enjoyed a massive resurgence. Modern tattooing, its techniques, modern electric instruments, modern ink, and modern Kurdish artists have dawned within all of Kurdistan.
Traditionally, until approximately 40 years ago, many rural Kurdish women were tattooed by a "nomad" or a "gypsy woman." Many tattoos were NOT Islamic in tradition yet are elemental by nature, Earth, wildlife, water, and symbolism extracted from various smaller non Islamic religious sects. Ink for the tattoos are made from wood fire soot and breast milk, gallbladder liquid from a sheep or goat or various ducts of reptiles, mostly snakes or lizards.
In the traditional Deq method, the tattoo design was hand drawn on the skin and then a series of small punctures were made with a sewing needle. The ink was applied within the wound, which scabbed over the wound and the ink was captured within the skin forming the formal tattoo. Historically, meaning within the last 600 years, both boys and girls began their first tattoos between the ages of eight and twelve. Some women tattooed beneath their lips upon their upper chin so sweetness my exit the woman's mouth when she speaks. A tattoo between the eyes offers protection against "nazar", the evil eye. Celestial symbols such as the moon, stars, or our sun were prominent on both men and women.
"One of the women happily shared stories of her husband's fascination with her tattoos, recounting how he would kiss her tattooed places, including her neck and inner arm. In another case, a woman clearly enjoyed hearing her husband recall how at first glance, he fell in love with his future wife. He found her and her tattoos to be beautiful. Fifty years later, as they share a cramped tent in a refugee camp, he still does."
-Jodi Hilton.
During my residency in Kurdistan, I was not the only one covered in ink. In Iraqi Kurdistan tattoos were common. Men often decorated their arms and backs with powerful animals, snakes, lions, hawks, and oxen. Young women often had small floral and decorative designs. While male Kurdish youth are far more bold with open display to include hand and I even encountered a neck tattoo or two, the women were far more reserved in adherence with cultural atmospherics. While Kurdish Women are in my humble opinion the most equal among Men within the entire Islamic world, there remains tolerable limits of display which are seldom exceeded. Modern tattooing in Kurdistan, and also in Turkey are permanent cultural fixtures with youth serving as kinetic groundswell gently eroding the high razor wired walls of strict cultural confinement.

So ...I love city and state rankings. I even wrote a whole ode to them once. I'm fully aware that they're complete bullshit, just bait for us desperate blogger-types to suck down and spit out in the form of free publicity for whichever company pulled the alleged statistics out of its ass. Usually it's Forbes. Sometimes it's McDonald's. It's always complete crap. But for whatever reason, I like knowing that the guys at Combos -- the maker of cheese-filled pretzels -- think Denver is more manly than San Diego.
Yet, of all the state- and city-ranking press releases I've seen, the one I read today has to be the most ridiculous. In it, the web site Condomania -- an online condom retailer -- alleges that it has collected so much data from its condom sales that it was able to determine which states have the biggest
members penises dongs d$#ks baloney ponies oh screw it: COCKS. The biggest cocks, alright? But when you find the biggest, you also find the smallest. And guess where Colorado wound up?
First, let's consider the top 25:
1. New Hampshire 2. Oregon 3. New York 4. Indiana 5. Arizona 6. Hawaii 7. Louisiana 8. Massachusetts 9. Alabama 10. Washington 11. New Mexico 12. California 13. Arkansas 14. Nevada 15. Virginia 16. Tennessee 17. Illinois 18. Oklahoma 19. South Dakota 20. Georgia 21. Pennsylvania 22. Mississippi 23. Michigan 24. Florida 25. Rhode Island
Now. Hmm. More or less everything I know about penis size -- about everything, really -- is from Eddie Murphy's Delirious. And according to it:
And since there are approximately seven black people in New Hampshire, Condomania seems to be disputing the Eddie (and Everyone Else) Theory. Fine. Whatever. But Oregon and Washington in the top ten? Not a chance. I've showered with guys from those states. I'm not impressed.
Now, the bottom 25:
26. Kansas 27. Maryland 28. Minnesota 29. Vermont 30. Connecticut 31. Wisconsin 32. New Jersey 33. North Dakota 34. Idaho 35. Texas 36. Missouri 37. Montana 38. Ohio 39. Nebraska 40. Colorado 41. Maine 42. North Carolina 43. Delaware 44. South Carolina 45. Kentucky 46. West Virginia 47. Alaska 48. Iowa 49. Utah 50. Wyoming
Lots of problems here. Texas in the bottom half? That gets disproved right in the state's slogan. Montana? Ohio? Nebraska? I have no idea why, but these are states that seem like they would involve being well-endowed. Why else would all those people live there?
We Believe Local Journalism is Critical to the Life of a City
Engaging with our readers is essential to Westword's mission. Make a financial contribution or sign up for a newsletter, and help us keep telling Denver's stories with no paywalls.
Support Our Journalism
And then there's Colorado. Oh, Colorado. In the bottom 11 size-wise. Could it be?
Could it possibly be?
You know what: Who the hell cares? We're drunk, we're manly, we're all single and we're all healthy, so let's put these allegedly small baloney ponies to work and just be happy we don't work at Condomania. I hear those guys are tiny.

Sant'Agata Bolognese, – Over the course of the past fiscal year 2015 (31.12.2015) Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. achieved historic highs in the main corporate figures. Global sales of Lamborghini super sports cars increased by 28% from 2,530 to 3,245 units. This growth represents not only an increase in volumes compared to the previous year, but a considerable gain. In fact, the company exceeded its previous threshold of more than 3,000 units sold worldwide.
Turnover increased exponentially from 629 to 872 million euros. This represents an increase of 39%, due to strong sales growth generally and a substantial contribution to total sales worldwide from high-value V12 Lamborghini Aventador derivatives.
Lamborghini is earning profits and continues on a sustained growth path. All new projects are financed out of the cash-flow.
"In 2015 we achieved business growth for the fifth year in a row and historic highs with key figures. We have also made wide-reaching strategic decisions that will facilitate the company's mid and long-term success in global luxury automobile markets," says Lamborghini President and CEO, Stephan Winkelmann.
The Huracán LP 610-4 made 2015 the most successful year in history for deliveries of V10-engined Lamborghini models. In its first full year on the market, a total of 2,242 Huracán units were delivered to customers. In the first 18 months following its market introduction, Huracán deliveries were 70% higher than those of its predecessor, the Gallardo, in the same period after market introduction.
Deliveries of coupé and roadster versions of the twelve-cylinder Aventador LP 700-4, as well as the new Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce, amounted to a total of 1,003 units. The Aventador's success story was also demonstrated by delivery numbers in the 52 months following market introduction, with an increase of 124% over sales of its Murciélago predecessor within the same time period.

If you're looking for a large-screen smartphone but don't want to spend too much, Nokia may have you covered.
The Finnish phone maker unveiled Tuesday the Lumia 625, a 4.7-inch smartphone built for users on a budget.
Nokia said it will be available to users for about $290 before any carrier subsidies, which are common in the U.S. That's about half the cost of other smartphones with large screens.

The Lumia 625, which will ship this summer or in fall, will come in orange, yellow, bright green, white and black color options.

One of Puerto Rico's most recognizable journalistic voices, Rafael Lenín López has made his career on local television news programming (Noticentro, WAPA TV) and radio shows (Pegaos en la Mañana, Radio Isla [1]). At 34, he has already been elected twice as president of the Puerto Rican Journalists Association.
Although his incursion into Facebook and Twitter should not come as a surprise, what is genuinely thrilling is the way in which Rafael has been able to use social networks as a bridge between his different journalistic enterprises.
Rafael uses his @LeninPR [2] Twitter account – with over 20,000 followers – to offer quick updates and information about the latest news, later to be covered in greater depth on television or radio. The account has also provided him an outlet to voice his opinions and establish a more direct connection with the Puerto Rican audience. In fact, it was through Twitter that we politely asked Rafael for some time away from his busy schedule in order to answer a few questions for us:
Global Voices (GV): I would like to start by asking you – not about the beginning of your career (we'll get to that later) – but about your introduction to social networks. Since you already had the experience of working within more traditional or established mediums such as radio and television, what motivated you to start reporting through Twitter? How did you come by this medium?
Rafael Lenín López (RLL): Hello! Thank you for your interest. After the frenzy over Facebook, I was a little skeptical about going into other social networks. However, I went into the Twittersphere and found a much more practical way to simultaneously report breaking news and create a new personality through a medium with an audience which was different from the one for traditional media. It also grants me the opportunity to slip personal comments and opinions through, which wouldn't be allowed in traditional media. I can quickly exchange comments with the audience, people get to know me better, and I get to know them better as well.
I don't remember how I came by Twitter, but I'm pretty sure that the events that boosted my account were [ex-Senator] Héctor Martínez's trial [4] [es] and the governor's interview [5] [es] in [local television gossip program] La Comay.
GV: You're presently working for WAPA TV and Radio Isla, and you were also reelected president of the Puerto Rican Journalist Association. Has your exposition over social networks created any conflict with your professional work? Has it resulted in any qualms about the way you present yourself to the audience? Do you hold any considerations when you send a tweet or share something over the social networks?
RLL: For more conservative individuals perhaps this "over-exposure" would imply a conflict, but not to me. I try to complement my professional job with the content I put out in social media. Maybe it has become the outlet through which I combine the work I do in radio with the work I do on TV. My objective is to share the most urgent and immediate information through social media, and leave the details and explanations for radio and television.
I write my opinions and comments when I deem it important to express them and generate some sort of discussion or debate. People need that spark to wake them up. To date, there hasn't been any conflict generated by this.
GV: Journalism seems to be more hard-pressed than ever to adopt a greater focus towards entertainment, thanks to the economic realities of media outlets. The emergence of the so-called "crowdsourcing" also complicates the situation. Were these trends already taking shape when you started your career? What were your greatest challenges back then? How does it all compare with your experience in the present day?
RLL: When I began my career at WPAB Radio in Ponce, none of these trends were emerging just yet. I had the chance to witness a great and disorderly transition in mass media, a transition that made most people a little crazy and left many without a job. At the beginning, I was working with analog broadcast consoles and playing publicity ads from cartridges; I edited reels with razor blades and ripped the paper out of the teleprinter with a ruler. I used to break into a sprint whenever I heard the bell that announced an urgent piece of news. And be mindful that I'm only 34 years old!
The present-day experience is completely different, but what I've gone through previously – at risk of sounding a bit nostalgic – allows me to perfectly understand the situation confronted by communicators nowadays.
GV: What is the present state of journalism in Puerto Rico? Are journalists fulfilling their role?
RLL: I think they are. I think we have journalists that tend to be very responsible and committed to their work and, above all, to our nation. However, we should improve our investigative journalism.
GV: You recently shared an essay on Facebook [6] [es] about the national broadcast of the picture of a decapitated head. In this essay, you say: "we have to take an investigative angle on these cases, and analyze how the lack of proper planning to confront this social problem has brought us to this point." What hinders this kind of coverage? Is investigative coverage being done as rigorously as it should?
RLL: Our daily criminal activity does not allow us communicators – hence the rest of the nation – to take pause and thoroughly analyze the social problems we're afflicted by. The daily time slots allowed for news are taken up by the most recent events, and very little time is left over for a more composed discussion. Alternative media, therefore, plays an important role in this.
GV: The Occupy Wall Street movement is becoming the North American version of the Arab Spring. What's your take on this movement? What effect could it have on our island?
RLL: I think it's appropriate for people to attempt to occupy spaces we've come to accept as "not ours." However, I think we're far from a widespread movement in Puerto Rico because of the poor sense of collectivity we have when it comes to explaining and solving our own problems.
GV: In your career, which news have most impressed you and what did you learn from them?
RLL: For its human drama, the explosion in Río Piedras in 1996 [7] – without a doubt. Considering more frequent, everyday events, the trials over cases of corruption are evidence of how our political elite is rotting from the inside. Also, when it comes to people, both interviews to Filiberto Ojeda Ríos [8] [es] marked me for life.
GV: Is it difficult to detach yourself emotionally from news that impassion you, be it a coverage on elections, interviews, or anything else? Do you feel detachment is a requirement?
RLL: I don't think it's necessary, and I usually don't detach myself. I'm a citizen and resident of this nation and this planet. We cannot offer coverage as if we were aliens. This doesn't mean we should take sides in a controversial case. In such situations, what's appropriate is to present all angles justly.
GV: You've openly supported musical projects such as Orquesta el Macabeo [9] and Calle 13 [10] over Twitter. Do you follow the local musical scene? What other music do you like?
RLL: I do follow the local musical scene. I like what's happening out there with the artists and cultural exponents that aren't well received by the mainstream media. That's how I realize how disconnected traditional media really is.
I listen to almost every kind of music, as long as it's good.
GV: Lastly, could you share with our readers any advice that you understand is vital to achieve a better nation for everyone?
RLL: We need to build a nation whose ultimate goal is solidarity and collectivity.

Dart board cabinets are one of my favorite things to build. I've made 5 of them so far, each of them having different features. My favorite one would have to be the last one I made because of the new pattern, the grain detail, and the dial rod plugs that give it character (the first picture). That particular one is now hanging in my brother's man cave next to his pool table and neon beer signs. I showed by friend how to make one and I then got him hooked on the fine art of wood working. His is the dark board with the doors.

Poke Your Own Picasso
Vegas casino mogul Steve Wynn may be suing Lloyd's of London to pay up for his self-damaged Picasso, and he may even be taking a courageous stand versus the whole insurance industry. But now you can own a tangential piece of the story yourself, as blogger Ironic Sans is auctioning a poster featuring Wynn's painting — Picasso's "Le R ve" — from a 1997 Christie's New York auction where the painting was sold for $48.4 million. (Not to Wynn; he bought it in 2001 from the anonymous Christie's purchaser for an undisclosed amount. A pretty good return on the $7,000 investment made in 1941 by Victor and Sally Ganz, whose collection the Christie's event was selling off.) Ironic Sans promises that the poster, going for a mere $0.000012 million as of this writing, remains unpunctured by the elbow of Steve Wynn or any other elbow. What you poke it with after purchase is your own affair.

Miley Cyrus is apparently lacking in friends
HollywoodNews.com: Miley Cyrus always seems to have plenty of friends around her, but now it sounds like she might not have that many.
Cyrus recently took to Twitter to post a somewhat strange and personal message, states Hollyscoop. "[I]n need of girlfriends," Cyrus commented on Twitter.
While it's safe to assume she does have girlfriends as she often posts pictures with friends on Twitter, maybe she was just going through a bad day and needed a girlfriend to talk to.
Plenty of her Twitter followers responded that they'd be one of her girlfriends, but it seems she didn't take them up on that.
What do you think about her message?

Super Simple Cloth Wipes
When I first started cloth diapering I used disposable wipes, but I soon realized how cloth diapers and cloth wipes go hand in hand. It's so much more convenient to throw the wipe and diaper together in the wet bag. I use cloth wipes for 4 reasons: skin sensitivity, money, environment, and convenience.
MJ has super sensitive skin, and I don't want to spend much time preparing wipes every few days, so for us, simplicity is best.
My favorite cloth wipes solution includes only 3 ingredients:
1. Coconut oil (I generally use unrefined but refined works as well)
2. Baby body wash
3. Water
Optional: 2-4 drops essential oil, such as tea tree oil or lavender oil
1. Gather cloth wipes and a wipe container (more info about what I use below). I usually make a batch of about 20 wipes. 20 fit well in my wipe container and they last for 2-3 days. If the wipes sit for more than 3-4 days they start to smell a little musty and can become moldy.
3. Mix 4 tsps coconut oil with 1 1/2 cups hot water. Hot water is not absolutely necessary, but quickly liquifies the coconut oil.
4. Add equal parts (4 tsps) baby wash. I have used many different brands. Early on I had quite a few Johnson's body washes (shower gifts), and used those. Because MJ bathes with Aveeno, I now use that most often.
5. Pour solution over wipes.
(You can add 2-4 drops of your favorite essential oil to the solution before pouring over the wipes.)
More About Wipes and Containers
For wipes, I use some baby wash cloths, some Charlie Banana cloths, and some pieces of cotton or flannel.
Any wipe container you can find will suffice. I use a Price Lionheart Wipe Warmer that was a baby shower gift. Sometimes I plug it in and sometimes I don't. When MJ was an infant I wanted her wipes to be warm, but as she got older I became less concerned with the temperature.
This simple solution is also great to add to a spray bottle and spray a dry wipe or baby at each use.

Nowadays, the majority of the Vanderpump Rules cast are in committed relationships. And I use the word committed loosely, as they do whatever they want anyways. Like Lala Kent and Ariana Madix hooking up. Or James Kennedy being accused of cheating on Raquel Leviss. And Jax Taylor…well he han't done anything yet this season, but give it some time.
However, one cast member is single, and that is Scheana Marie. Her dating life on the show has been pretty quiet so far. All we've seen is her
sexually harassing hanging out with Adam Spott. I wonder if Adam can hang a TV in seven minutes? Recently, Scheana's love life has been in a status of, "It's complicated."
