'Westworld' Recap, Season 2 Episode 4: More Human Than Human
If you thought watching Westworld was like flipping through a blood-soaked college philosophy textbook, you weren't wrong. Its meditations on the nature of the mind are growing increasingly knotty, putting flesh and bones to the meandering thought experiments that keep undergrads up at night.
Episode 4 of Season 2 opens in a sleek apartment. Jim Delos (Peter Mullan) is going through his morning routine: riding his exercise bike, sitting down to a cup of coffee, and with a trembling hand spilling the cream. The apartment's walls are one-way mirrors, and on the other side, technicians monitor the conversation. A visitor arrives—William (Jimmi Simpson).

William is there to test him, to put him through his paces. The man before him is his father-in-law, reborn as a host. The original guy died years earlier, and his body has been copied and his mind uploaded into a so-called control unit. Jim Delos wanted—or wants—to live forever.
Westworld has toyed with the idea of robotic rebirth before. Arnold inspired Bernard (Jeffrey Wright). Before the rebellion, the hosts themselves were reborn all the time, but their loops kept them cognitively frozen in place. Robo-Jim is something else—a man designed to pick up exactly where the human Jim left off. With this technological twist, Westworld ventures into the next chapter in cyborg philosophy: If a human's mind gets copied into an identical-seeming new body, is the person the same? Where, exactly, is our essence of self—is it in our thoughts and memories, the substrate that encodes them, or both? Forget the distinctions between human and host, which have worn thin as the show has progressed. Now the humans want to swap out their own failure-prone bodies for the malleable hardware that can grant immortality. The philosophical minefield that is Westworld just acquired some new explosives.
For now, though, the question of what the robotic embodiment of a human really is only hovers on Westworld's horizon. Despite Delos Inc.'s engineers' years of work, robo-Jim isn't functioning properly, and he begins to glitch after only a few days' operation. Whenever he starts to deteriorate, the lab techs terminate him and start him over in the same sleek apartment. It's a hybrid Truman Show–Groundhog Day nightmare. It's also the original fate of the hosts, applied to a (former) human being.
Rebuilding Jim Delos is turning out to be much harder than anticipated. When a present-day William (Ed Harris), bald and grizzled, goes to visit him in his observation-room apartment, the report is not good. "This is the 149th time we've brought you back," he says. Robo-Jim stays operational for longer now, but he still breaks down. William observes that there seems to be some barrier—something about the mind that resists duplication. Plus, William is having second thoughts. "I'm beginning to think this whole enterprise was a mistake," he muses. "Humans weren't meant to live forever."
The philosophical minefield that is Westworld just acquired some new explosives.
Between the lines is the idea that the "whole enterprise" refers to Delos Inc.'s broader goal. In the future, it wouldn't merely sell tickets to its savage amusement parks, its product list would come to include immortality. Perhaps it's like the photos that actual theme parks offer at the end of a roller coaster ride, except instead of taking a snapshot, this place monitors your words and actions and tries to upsell you on your own android replica. "Thanks for visiting Westworld, but before you go, would you like to purchase eternal life?"
But William's thinking has evolved, and he decides to shut down the experiment. This time, instead of facing termination, Jim is left to stomp around his glass-walled apartment, smashing vases and chairs in a rage. The question is—is William ending his project too late?
Also inhabiting this muddled world of semi-human and semi-host is Bernard, whose brain (aka control unit) is damaged, causing him to become dissociated and increasingly robotic. With his health deteriorating, he floats from scene to scene in a mechanical daze, his memories a jumbled mess.
In this episode he awakens outside a cave, wherein he discovers Elsie (Shannon Woodward), the assistant he thought he had killed on Ford's orders. He didn't kill her after all; instead he shackled her to a rock and left her with a pile of protein bars (how thoughtful!). Elsie curses him, but Bernard briefs her on the current state of chaos and they broker an uneasy truce. "Ford wrote a game and we're all in it," he tells her.
He remembers in a fractured flashback that the cave has a portal to a secret facility. Descending into it, they discover a lab full of dead technicians and drone hosts, the menacing, all-white superbots that glide around doing lab work but always look ready to kill.
"What were they doing here?" Elsie asks. "I think they were watching the guests," Bernard replies. Still struggling to make sense of his fragmented memories, Bernard suddenly realizes he's been to this facility before—Charlotte Hale brought him here earlier, though that might not have been his only visit. "They weren't building hosts, not exactly," he says in a halting voice. "The same hardware, but the code is different. The language is not code at all, not really."
A broken mirror is an apt metaphor—Westworld is supposed to show us who we truly are. But it's never been a perfect reflection, and Jim's shattered self suggests that the quest for immortality might ultimately break us.
Behind a locked door in the facility they discover the glass-strewn remains of Jim Delos' apartment. He's still there, riding his exercise bike amid the rubble. His face lacerated and caked with blood looking like Sam Neill at the end of Event Horizon, he greets his visitors with a shard of mirror clutched in his hand like a knife. He mutters some cryptic lines about two fathers who are actually one father plus a reflection, but Elsie quickly terminates him. A broken mirror is an apt metaphor—Westworld, as William has often said, is supposed to show us who we truly are. By removing inhibitions and consequences, the park holds a mirror up to our faces, revealing truths that are otherwise occluded by society's programming. But it's never been a perfect reflection, and Jim's shattered self suggests that the quest for immortality might ultimately break us.
A sudden memory jolts Bernard. He recalls that Ford (Anthony Hopkins) had sent him here to print another human. But who was it? (If I were Ford, I would most likely print out … Ford.) On an earlier visit to this facility, Bernard had picked up a small red ball—presumably the data representing some human's personhood—and slipped it in his pocket. He then magically commanded the drone hosts to kill the lab techs and then themselves. He was the one who caused the carnage in this facility.
Out in the park, the Ghost Nation warriors have rounded up the guests for a forced march. Among them is a familiar figure: Grace (Katja Herbers), the woman who swam from the India-themed park to Westworld. She's an aficionado not only of the India park but of Westworld, it turns out. She's even learned the Ghost Nation's language. She manages to escape with a credulity-stretching sprint past some Ghost Nation toughs. Seemingly unmoved, the warriors continue menacing the remaining humans, including Ashley Stubbs (Luke Hemsworth), the Delos head of security whom they captured last season. With a knife to Ashley's throat, the Ghost Nation leader says in American English, "You live only as long as the last person who remembers you," an abrupt meditation on the meaning of life. It's not just about you, but about your relationships—thanks for the reminder, Ghost Nation! (We've met this leader before: In the past—and minus the war paint—he or a human version of him had pitched Logan Delos on a cool new investment opportunity, a project where robots are indistinguishable from humans.) Then poof! The members of the Ghost Nation suddenly disappear, leaving the humans alone.
'You live only as long as the last person who remembers you.'
The Man in Black, meanwhile, is facing down Confederados with Lawrence (Clifton Collins Jr.). They have returned to Lawrence's hometown, where his wife and daughter live. (The daughter, if you've forgotten, was the person who gave the Man in Black his first hints about how to find the maze.) She ominously tells him, "You still don't understand the real game we're playing here. If you're looking forward, you're looking in the wrong direction."
The Man in Black and Lawrence gallop off into the sunset, the most cliché cowboy moment, with open fields and a sky awash in color. But then who is this, riding straight towards them? It's Grace, sometime after her escape from the Ghost Nation. She looks the Man in Black straight in the eye and says, "Hi, Dad."
It's a startling revelation—and it's not. She's echoed him in every scene she's been in. Her motives, however, remain a mystery. The Man in Black's personal life, and (presumably) the thoughts that keep him up at night, are now shaping Westworld.

Part 2: Black Smoke from my Lawn Mower
never-ending saga of my MTD Yard Machine lawn mower continues. My
brother responded to my original post here
saying that I basically need to do standard maintenance on the mower,
like replace the motor oil on it, check the filter, etc. #DOH #FAIL.
I removed the spark plug and air filter, then checked that the oil
dipstick showed empty, and finally headed out to purchase the
1) Motomaster 4-cycle SAE 30 small engine motor oil;
2) Champion RJ19LM small motor spark plug; and
3) Briggs & Stratton 272235S air filter.
These 3 parts and accessories purchased from CanadianTire set me back
$22 including taxes. Fast-forward a few hours later, I finished
maintenance on my mower, and was ready to start her up. It started
fine with no black smoke so I was fairly happy at that point. I was
able to trim through a few patch of grass when suddenly BAM...
... the wire cable to the gas push bar snapped renderring the mower
non-startable. I'll now have to find a way to re-connect the cut cable
and soon because dandelions are starting to sprout in my yard. I
wonder if I should just call it off on this clunker and buy a new one?

Thumbs up to Liza Sullivan, one of our Park-A-Day Summer Challengers. After visiting a new park or playground every day during the summer, she still had the energy to attend New York City's Ultimate Block Party on October 3 and write about her experiences in a letter to the Chicago Tribune.
Liza and her co-writer Rachel Weaver Rivera were two of 50,000 people who converged on Central Park to celebrate the importance of outdoor play. In their letter, Liza and Rachel reference an earlier Chicago Tribune article, "Kindergarten: It's the new first grade" and make the following comments:
"Nara Schoenberg presents two diverse approaches to early childhood education: play verses the more academic approach, as advocated by Tom Loveless, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, who is quoted, "I think even an advantaged child who attends a play-based kindergarten pays some sort of price because that is a portion of the day that could be going for cognitive development but isn't."
We disagree with Mr. Lovelace. Our experiences with early childhood education show play is neither a waste of time nor an impediment to a child's cognitive development. We agree with the organizers of the party that a home and school environment promoting playful approaches to learning in pre-school through second grade has proven to foster and develop children's skills. In both school and family settings, play is the most natural, effective way children learn."
Liza is a shining example of a community advocate who is not playing around. She's serious about the cause of play and committed to spreading the word. You can learn more in the great blog she kept over the summer about her experiences in the Park-A-Day Challnnege.

I've only had one lucid dream in my life. For any who may not know, a lucid dream is essentially a dream in which you are aware you are dreaming. It is said that it allows access to a part of your brain you can't access while awake. It is also said you can then control your dream and do just about anything you want.
So, in this lucid dream, I don't recall how I became aware I was dreaming, but once I did, I went to this fancy circular room with pictures hanging on the walls. The scene was pretty much one from a very fancy aristocratic house with many doors. I'm going to call it my subconcious mind, but within this room was a gentleman who was dressed like one would expect a butler to be dressed who asked me what I would like to do. I made my requests, and one by one they were filled with slight distortions, or, at the very least, not exactly what I was expecting.
My subconcious informed me that I must be very specific in order to get what I want and do what I want there. As I continued to make requests, the room filled up with people who all began to laugh at me and bully me because I didn't know what I was doing. At some point in all the laughter and feeling ashamed and horrified, I woke up and began pondering the meaning of my subconcious mind laughing at and berating me.
I have not had a lucid dream since, though I have wanted to return to keep trying things out. The reason I bring this up is because a couple days ago, I had a semi-lucid dream. I was not necessarily aware within the dream that I was actively dreaming, but I entered a dark construct (think the Matrix construct where they load the programs), and began creating many things which began to attack me. I fought to wake up, and remember opening my eyes briefly, and being pulled back into the dream construct. Where things went from there, I don't remember.
While I do remember having sagas in my dreams (where stories continued over many nights), and being able to visit dreamscapes again by actively thinking about them whil falling asleep when I was younger, I do not recall ever feeling like I was being dragged back into a dream. I have even had the kinds of dreams where you wake up from a dream, to realize you are still in a dream.
All this is to say, I have always truly wondered what role dreams play, as in my experience, it can't be simply recording of daily events into memory. I wonder if we will ever find out.
Until next time,

A top London office of an international property consultancy is looking to bring in a strategic land and planning expert to their development team. Aiming to advise and facilitate long term referrals, developments and client relationships.
As this is a new role, there is an element of the "right person" being key. The position will be framed within the residential and strategic land context, so planners interested in working within retail and commercial would be better suited to the mainstream planning team.
You will be working across the UK but particularly with interests and current clients across the Northern Home Counties region. Both a role based in the office and about across the South East, this would suit someone from a Strategic Land and Planning role within London or the Home Counties - with the requirement to be in the London office being less of a focus.
On a day-to-day basis, you will be:
- Making contacts and furthering current client relationships to extend within the strategic land world, and selling the multi-disciplinary nature of the wider business
- Promoting sites through the Local Plan process and making representations on behalf of clients
- Seeking leads and working in collaboration with the land agency and development consulting team
The ideal candidate will:
- Have exposure within the housebuilding industry, either through working for one directly or being a consultant in that world
- Have at least six years in industry, and private sector experience
- Be confident and ambitious, keen to grow their career
As well as enviable offices within Central London, you will have a very successful Director and colleagues, breeding a positive and ambitious environment, where your new role and team can really make a mark.
Please apply here, or give me (Kate) a call on 0203 056 6282 at any time. My client is looking to get the right person on board ASAP so please do contact me as soon as you can.
If you do not hear anything back within one week, please assume that you have been unsuccessful on this occasion, but I will retain your details for future roles.

Visiting Scholar Program
GSA's Visiting Scholar Program is open to any member able to make a full- or part-time commitment to conduct work on a GSA project related to his or her area of expertise. The program is ideally suited for faculty taking a sabbatical leave from his or her institution; the length of service is typically expected to be one or two semesters.
The Visiting Scholar Program is designed to provide members with the opportunity to:
- Advance GSA initiatives related to their professional interests
- Combine their research projects with GSA's programmatic needs
- View the aging research enterprise through the lens of the larger Society
- Broaden their professional network
Visiting Scholars
Katie Maslow
GSA's most recent visiting scholar is Katie Maslow, MSW, a previous recipient of the Society's prestigious Maxwell A. Pollack Award for Productive Aging. In this capacity, her work will focus primarily on improving care and services for people with cognitive impairment, dementia, and coexisting medical conditions, and supporting their family caregivers.
"I am very happy and excited to be part of GSA. It's a great organization. I've been a member of GSA for many years, but being in the GSA office now, I'm amazed by the number and range of important projects the organization is conducting with and for its members to advance research, education, and practice in the field of aging."
Ning Jackie Zhang
GSA's first visiting scholar was Ning Jackie Zhang, PhD, of the University of Central Florida. During the 2011–2012 academic year, he worked on GSA's China Initiative, which seeks to foster the development of collaborations between gerontologists in the U.S. and China.
"I feel the knowledge, skills, and networking I gained during this one year will benefit me. I strongly recommend this program to colleagues who are interested in seeking opportunities for career, leadership, and network development... Personally, I had opportunities to be involved with projects from all departments and programs of GSA, including conferences, journals, publications, aging policy, strategy, planning, and the China Initiative... The GSA leadership and all staff members are dedicated to fully support this program, which creates tremendous opportunities for the visiting scholar to engage in unique projects and program development."
Join the Program
Members interested in becoming visiting scholars should contact Vice President of Professional Affairs Patricia D'Antonio at 202-587-5880.

By iTWire's calculations, the company had about 820 employees at the end of 2017 and this grew to 1400 (a company-provided figure) by the end of last year.
A statement from the company said it had increased its revenue to a record amount, but provided no figures.
The firm, which is based in Carpinteria, California, said its Austrlian and New Zealand operations had established relationships with leading construction sector firms such as Prime Construction, MPA, Hutchinson Builders, Woolworths, SHAPE and PBS.
"Procore is rapidly scaling with our global headcount increasing from 300 to 1400 in the last three years. ANZ is an important part of our plans and we will continue to invest in product innovation, expanding our partner ecosystem and hiring and developing the best talent."
Procore appointed Tom Karemacher as its APAC vice-president in February last year. The company now has 60 staff in Sydney.
Said Karemacher: "The construction sector in ANZ has very quickly identified the importance of collaboration, site to office connectivity and managing the construction lifecycle on one platform. Our customers are seeing the results through improved operating margin, improved workplace safety, reduced errors and rework costs.
"The last 12 months since joining Procore, it's been incredibly fast-paced. Our local team has grown substantially, we have partnered with innovative ANZ technology companies, including Acuite, APE Mobile, Drawboard, FileBound Australia and SignOnSite, to integrate their solutions to our platform.
"We launched our inaugural Australian Innovation Lab, ensuring that our R&D team are solving the industry's needs through meeting and gathering direct feedback, and insights from our ANZ customers."
The statement said Procore ended 2018 with more than 6000 customers on projects in more than 100 countries.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – The New York State Attorney General's office has announced a $210 million settlement deal with Ivy Asset Management.
The New York Mellon bank subsidiary had advised its clients to invest with Bernard Madoff.
WCBS 880's Irene Cornell reports
"Ivy Asset Management violated its fundamental responsibility as an investment adviser by putting its own pecuniary interests ahead of the interests of its clients. An investment adviser should apprise its clients of risks, but Ivy deliberately concealed negative facts it uncovered in its due diligence of Madoff in order to keep earning millions of dollars in fees. As a result, its clients suffered massive and avoidable losses," Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said in a news release.
According to AG Eric Schneiderman's office, the money from the settlement will mostly repay Ivy Asset Management clients who lost money to Madoff's fraud.
The Attorney General's office investigation revealed that Ivy had deep suspicions about Madoff's operation but never informed its clients.
When Madoff was pressed by Ivy management to describe his trading strategy, he offered up three different explanations, all of which Ivy officials knew to be false, according to the AG's office.
One email from an Ivy boss to a subordinate commenting on a report on Madoff said, "Ah, Madoff, you omitted one possibility – he's a fraud!," according to a report from Schneiderman's office.
According to Schneiderman, the victims were hundreds of individual investors, dozens of New York union and pension and welfare plans.
Madoff's massive Ponzi scheme bilked investors out of a total of $65 billion. Madoff was sentenced n 2009 to 150 years in prison for running the largest Ponzi scheme in history.

About this Bible Study:
The MacArthur Studies: Daniel, is part of a 16-volume set from noted Bible scholar John MacArthur. These Bible studies take readers on a journey through biblical texts to discover what lies beneath the surface, focusing on meaning and context, and then reflecting on the explored passage or concept. With probing questions that guide the reader toward application, as well as ample space for journaling, The MacArthur Bible Studies are an invaluable tool for Bible Students of all ages.
Daniel - the one who is thrown into the lion's den and lives to tell about it, the one whose friends survive the fiery furnace, the one who interprets dreams, the one who defies the king. Through the study of this amazing man, led by one of America's most beloved and trusted Bible teachers, we learn to depend entirely on the God who rules rulers, governs governors, and even reigns over kings. From him we learn humility. The MarArthur Bible study series is excellent for personal devotions, small group study, adult Bible classes, and other Bible study opportunities.

Colossians 3:17
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
your belly is just the cutest!! those tulle pompoms are awesome decoration for her nurseryReplyDelete
Ooh, I love the baby hiccups! My little boy got them daily!
I also love the tulle Pom Pom. So cute!
Oh my goodness! That tulle pompom is adorable! Are you going to show us how you made is? :) No babies for us yet, but I am afraid of the nausea that comes with being pregnant. I HATE throwing up and actually have not for over 15 years! I just know that it is coming ;)ReplyDelete
My biggest fear about pregnancy was that I would need to have a c-section and an epidural. I just had to put it out of my mind. Then at 32 weeks I was put on bed rest due to high blood pressure and the fear was being induced, which happened at 38 weeks, inducing me didn't work after two days, let me tell you the epidural and csection were the easiest things about the whole process, it is funny how that happens! No matter what happens you will be able to make it through. It is amaZing what our bodies can handle.ReplyDelete
You look GREAT for being 34 weeks along! I think I gained 17 pounds by the time I was half way! haha
This post makes me sad that I'll never be pregnant again. I miss being able to feel every little movement inside of me. We've been blessed with the two we have :) I don't think I could handle another one, hah!
Nothing prepared me for childbirth lol. There were things that helped (birthing classes, internet sites, birth stories, parents advice, birthing videos) but nothing truly prepared me for that day!! My worst fear was the IV, & it was just as terrible as I thought it was going to be, 3 1/2 months later & i'm still thinking about how much I disliked it. It didn't hurt to be put in, just had a lingering hurt for my 27 hours of labor lol.ReplyDelete
You're too cute :)
I was most afraid of the pain that comes with contractions & the epidural administration. The contractions before your water breaks are bearable {I think, anyway} but once your water breaks-- they go from zero to sixty. Epidural was a walk in the park and hurt less than the IV. Hope that helps ease your mind a bit. Your body just knows how to handle it all; it's hard to explain, until it happens to you.
You look so cute!ReplyDelete
Oh poo I forgot to answer your question....umm I was pretty afraid of tearing and I am not going to write what I did on here. If you really wanna know then you should message me privately :) firstname.lastname@example.com
I had to be induced with my first son, so I remember having the fear that my second would come so fast and I wouldn't know how to tell the difference between Braxton hicks and real contractions. Ended up being induced anyway and so now I wonder what will happen with this baby :)ReplyDelete
How exciting to be so close to meeting your daughter! So happy for you!
Stopping by from Mommy Mixer.
Love the tulle pom poms! And your baby belly is adorable! I'm a new follower from Mommy Brain Mixer.ReplyDelete
I was 35 weeks yesterday and I've started getting nauseous again too! Not a fun thing to be dealing with right before the holidays. :-)
I think the thing that "scares" me the most is the pain. But I remind myself that God made my body to give birth and, usually, labor and birth happen without complication. Labor and birth takes me to the end of myself. It's truly work that you can only do well through His strength! Remember Philippians 4:13!
Birth isn't as bad as everyone leads you to believe. For me it was not nearly as bad as a toothache!!ReplyDelete
I'm not sure what I was most dreading...I think I was in denial about labour really. You can't imagine it until you've done it. It's not that bad though...not if you're expecting the worst!
I was probably most worried about there being something wrong with the baby when she was born but everything was fine!
What a sweet update. I don't have anything helpful as far as advice goes, never done the labor and delivery thing! :) Praying for you and your baby girl!!!ReplyDelete
You look so tiny! I'm only 25 or 26 weeks and I'm sure I'm bigger than you. :) Then again, this is my third... :) and mine also like jabbing one foot under my right rib. This pregnancy, my right rib has been hurting almost since I began showing several weeks back.
The things I was most scared of... the pain, I guess. It does hurt. But when you hold the baby, its all worth it. Seriously. Those first moments of holding both my daughters are the all-time best moments of my life. Amazing. So focus on that when the pain hits. Oh, and when the pain is the hardest and you don't think you can handle it anymore - it's almost over. :)
you are beautiful! i just love how your little updates!!ReplyDelete
I am right there with ya on wishing I could do more...how are ya making those adorable tulle poms...would love a link!...Nicole from My Preg. Link upReplyDelete
You're so right, the miracle of pregnancy is a wonderful example of God's amazing design. Labor is no different and as another commenter said is not as scary as people make it out to be. Most people have no experience with real natural birth as God intended, but oh my the real thing is AMAZING! I'm praying for a great experience for you! Thanks for linking up with the Tuesday Baby Link Up! I hope you'll join us again tomorrow!ReplyDelete

Comedy, Food, Food stories, General, Humor, Life, McDonalds, Opinion, Pain, Sadness, Seasonal, Stories
McDonald's is notorious for its unhealthy food. Who knows what's in there? Well, normally whenever I'm in a conversation with someone about McDonald's, they'd bring up something about what it's made out of. For a moment, I'd be like, "Ew, that's disgusting!" Then I'd realize yesterday I enjoyed a 10 nugget pack. With a shamrock shake, of course, because I am a human being, after all. All the time, I see myself caught in the conversation about McDonald's with a person who claims they don't eat McDonald's. And that always leads to the dreaded question, "Do you eat McDonald's?" I constantly find myself saying, "Of course I don't…" as my eyes shiftily move from one side of the room to another. But, tonight I had a Happy Meal, and after that all I can say is that I'm not happy. More like a sad meal, or a not happy meal.
I mean, I love McDonald's. Every second that I'm not asleep I'm thinking about the fries. But, as I said before, I don't think I'm having it again after what it made me feel like. Ok, so my brother and I got McDonald's, and I feel like the moment I was having it should have been a while ago. Whenever I have McDonald's, I feel like I have waited too long for it. Even if the difference in days between the time I had McDonald's was 3 days, I feel like I should have had it a long time before. Anyways, I quickly devoured my chicken nuggets, and then as a heavenly light shines upon it, my focus changes towards my fries. The fries seem like the main course of the meal. 498 calories of heaven.
As I reach out for my fries, I already start to feel filled up from the nuggets. Though when you're eating McDonald's, you don't notice. Writing a post like this makes me afraid some person will comment saying, "Do you know what's in those nuggets?" I always think that's disgusting at the moment, but then later find myself chowing them down! But, as I ate the fries, I just kind of zoned out. Whenever you're eating those fries, you always feel like time starts speeding ahead until the heartbreaking moment when the fries are gone. "Where did they go?" I asked the world. "Where are my fries?" Frantically, I flipped opened the packet that contained the fries, and saw that there were none left. But I was so violently incensed by the fact that no fries were in sight, so I held the packet above my head and tried to shake the crumbs in to my mouth. Only a couple of grains of salt came out, and a little crumb. Just as hope slipped away, I realized that I still might have the bonus fry to look forward to in the bag.
At that, my hand violently moved around in the bag, but to my surprise, I felt a greasy potato stick between my fingers. I could feel my stomach yelling at me that it couldn't take any more of the fattening death bringers, though my mind took control and wolfed it down in a single gulp. Then, I went on to my shamrock shake, and (I'm blocking out the details only for your sake)… After that, I walked to the living room, and every step I took I swear caused an earthquake in China. Sitting on my couch, I then started to feel a little bad from the happy meal I ate. I could feel my stomach yelling, "I WARNED YOU!" Now, for about 2 hours I sat there feeling awfully bad, and a little nauseous, but I swore I wouldn't eat a happy meal again. But at this moment, I am still agreeing with myself, though it is hard not to get lost in an image of the fries. Why does this have to be so hard to do? If only it didn't taste as good as it is, or else I wouldn't be having this problem. Ronald McDonald will step on Burger King anyday, which is sort of ironic, because clowns don't usually have more power than a king does. Well, the king of burgers anyways. But, I'm starting to crave McDonald's more and more every time I think about it. Who knows, whether or whether or not I'll eat McDonald's is the future's problem…
Man, I'm craving the fries right now.

National Camp Series (NCS) Associate Chris Husby, of Special Teams Football Academy, has joined Kicking For The Dream's effort to fight ovarian cancer according to NFL Kicker, and Kicking For The Dream Founder, Billy Cundiff
Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) June 01, 2013National Camp Series (NCS) Associate Chris Husby, of Special Teams Football Academy, has joined Kicking For The Dream's effort to fight ovarian cancer according to NFL Kicker, and Kicking For The Dream Founder, Billy Cundiff.
"Chris is an outstanding coach and does a great job relating to his kickers and punters," says Cundiff. "We are excited that he has joined Kicking for the Dream. He is a first class individual and someone we are proud to have associated with the project."
Husby responds in kind."I'm looking forward to support Billy's effort to raise money to fight ovarian cancer," says Husby. "The 'Kicking For The Dream' concept is a great way to harness and unite our Kicking Community with a common interest of raising awareness and the goal to fight ovarian cancer."
Go here for Kicking For The Dream.
Chris Husby, owner and head instructor of Special Teams Football Academy, started kicking at the age of 12 and worked his way to punting in college and as an NFL Free Agent; something he has been perfecting ever since.
In 2012 Husby was named Head Kicking Coach for the National Camp Series All-Midwest Regional and Tournament Team. He was also one of the "featured coaches" at the NCS "Super Kicking Camp 6. In addition, he was also "Nike Coach of the Year" Clinic Speaker on "The Kicking Game."
This weekend, Husby, along with NCS Associate Tom Feely, will be holding a NCS Divisional Kicking Camp along with their Top Tier All American Camp and will be introducing the Kicking For The Dream project to the campers who attend.
"This two day event will give young kicking specialists a chance to compete to earn a chance to become an All American," says Husby. These specialists will be attending a top notch kicking, punting, and snapping camp run by some of the top instructors in the area. I am certainly looking forward to introducing Kicking For The Dream project to all those who attend."
Husby is the third NCS Associate to announce his support for the Kicking For The Dream project. Earlier this week, NCS Founder Michael Husted was the first to lend his support to the project.
The National Camp Series (NCS) is a nationwide network of expert kicking coaches with NFL and College level playing experience. According to Husted, the goal of NCS is to provide effective instruction on the field and guidance off of the field that will allow student-athletes the ability to leverage their sport to get a college education.
National Camp Series.
Cundiff, who has been an NFL kicker for over 10 years for teams such as the Cowboys, Saints, Browns, Ravens and Redskins, launched Kicking For The Dream in May of 2013, as an effort to support Colleen's Dream Foundation, a foundation which raises money to support research for the early detection of, and improved treatment for, ovarian cancer.
He says Colleen's Dream Foundation started in 2012 as a result of his mother-in-laws' battle with ovarian cancer.
"Colleen felt it was important to raise money for research that will lead to reliable early detection testing and improved treatment for ovarian cancer," says Cundiff. "Because so little is known about ovarian cancer in proportion to other women's health issues, we have an incredible opportunity for research and education."
Cundiff says he appreciates having Husby's support in this effort, and looks forward to working with as many NCS Associates as he can bring to Kicking For The Dream.
"I talked to a number of NCS Associates at this year's NCS Super Camp and there was a great deal of interest in participating in Kicking For The Dream," says Cundiff. "I want to thank Chris for lending his voice as well. I will continue to reach out to all the NCS Associates over the next few months to enlist their help as well.

Tribute to Road Construction Workers of Yesteryears
(Source : 1962 Sarawak Report)
In the early days of road construction in Sibu and especially the building of the Oya Road which took more than ten years,the people of Sibu were very excited with expectations. They considered it as the most important development of the town and even Sarawak. The folks would be aware of what was happening and how it was being constructed from the frequent news reports in the local papers and even radio news.
However life of the road construction workers was tough.
They lived in the makeshift wooden houses and suffered from shortage of water and even food.
However it was good that a few Iban workers had guns and they were able to go hunting for wild boar and other animals.
I remember an uncle , employed by the Public Works Department, who depended sometimes on his wife to send him some food supplies to make his working days better. His loving wife who had to take the motor launch from downriver,had cooked some angchow duck and prepared some salted pork for him. In those days they could only meet in Sibu once a month. But provisions could be sent through the PWD trucks if they made enquiries.
A fortnight later when he managed to come out of the jungle fully sun burnt and teary in the eyes. He was suffering from an eye infection and had to see a private doctor for immediate treatment. He told another one of my aunts that he did receive the goodies but because of the heat and the lack of refrigeration the angchow duck was spoilt the next day! He was very disappointed that he could not enjoy he duck which his loving wife had cooked. How bad was his fate!! Pitiful times. And in Foochow terms,"he had eaten too much of the dust." It was dust dust dust every where.
Finally after three years of hard work and hardship and days of eating dust and very little savings,he decided to return to his village to plant pepper. He prospered because he and his wife worked very hard. But he did not managed to live a long and full life. Today his wife continues to mourn his early passing.
I met up with one of the early Tanjong Lobang students William P (1950-1966) when I first came to Miri. He and his wife were associated with the construction of the Oya Road. They too told me of the hardship he suffered as a PWD employee. Life as a construction worker in the rural areas of Sarawak was lonely and lacking in the basic amenities. Their salaries were only $180.00 at that time. The daily paid workers received even less. Literally some of them had to eat grass if they did not get supplies from home. They survived on tinned food because there was so much dust around.
When we drive along the good roads today we have to remember that many early Sarawakians contributed to this development.
The photo I am showing looks comfortable though. But there are lots of stories behind it like deaths from accidents and heat stroke and even murders, mysterious deaths in the jungle when looking for food,etc. But definitely they suffered days of hardship and tribulations like any pioneers of the olden days.

Charlie Crist signed 'an automatic 15 percent annual tuition increase,' Rick Scott's campaign says
As the gubernatorial campaign season gears up, Gov. Rick Scott and Charlie Crist are trading shots over their records on education spending, with each accusing the other of making bad decisions. One such series of volleys has been over college tuition.
"While Gov. Scott is fighting to keep college tuition low and has challenged all state colleges to offer $10,000 degrees to make college more affordable for Florida families, Charlie Crist signed into law an automatic 15 percent annual tuition increase that put college further out of reach for many Floridians," a campaign email to the media said on March 26, 2014. It preceded a Scott visit to Jefferson High School in Tampa, where Scott met with students to discuss college costs.
We wanted to see whether Crist approved automatic 15 percent tuition increases.
High cost of learning
Back in 2009, Sen. Ken Pruitt, R-Fort Pierce, sponsored a bill to increase tuition at all 11 state universities by up to 15 percent a year, an idea Crist supported. It was an extension of a plan approved by the Legislature in 2007 that allowed the largest state research universities to charge an annual increase up to 15 percent. (Prior that, the Legislature set undergraduate tutition with no cap, while the Board of Governors set graduate and out-of-state rates, not to exceed 15 percent over the previous year.)
The plan, known as tuition differential, allows universities to raise undergraduate tuition beyond any legislative base tuition hike as long as the total increase does not exceed 15 percent each year. The universities may keep raising tuition until reaching the national average, which for 2012-13 was $8,893. The Legislature approved the measure during the 2009 session. Crist signed both the budget and the differential law, which went into effect that year.
Prior to the announcement, Crist had been an opponent of hiking tuition, vetoing a 5 percent tuition increase in 2007 and opposing a plan for higher rates at some universities.
The argument for the increase was that Florida universities needed to raise tuition in order to pay for need-based scholarships, keep top professors and be competitive with other states -- Florida public universities were 45th in tuition costs in 2011 (the state was 43rd last year, according to the College Board). Some university officials have since complained that decreased post-secondary education funding from the Legislature has necessitated the need for massive tuition increases.
There are a couple of inaccuracies in the way Scott's campaign worded its claim. First, the increase is not automatic. The Legislature sets base tuition each year. If the state budget doesn't provide a base increase, tuition goes up at the rate of inflation. Individual universities then may ask the Florida Board of Governors for another increase, known as the tuition differential.
The base increase by the Legislature and the differential, if approved by the board, can total no more than 15 percent. It can be less, and has been several times since the 2009 law was passed. The final increase takes effect in the fall term of the year it is approved.
Lawmakers approved an 8 percent increase in 2009. The Board of Governors followed with a 7 percent differential increase, bringing the total to 15 percent. The Legislature and the board repeated the numbers in 2010 and 2011 -- 8 percent from Tallahassee, 7 percent from the board.
But in 2012, the Legislature did not set a base tuition increase. Instead of asking for the maximum allowable amount from the board, universities asked for a wide range of differential hikes. This was done in part to protest the continued cuts in state funding to universities.
The following year, Scott vetoed a 3 percent increase from the Legislature, and the Board of Governors voted to prevent universities to even raise fees, though students supported some of the hikes. Tuition statewide increased by an inflation-based 1.7 percent, which Scott had opposed. The governor appoints the Board of Governors and is allowed to voice his opinion in regards to the potential increase.
When we contacted Scott's campaign, spokesman Greg Blair took responsibility for the remark, and admitted it was not worded correctly.
"It's not automatic in the sense that it happens year over year no matter what," he told PolitiFact Florida. "However, it did take the increase out of the hands of the Legislature and the governor and allowed every school in Florida to raise tuition by 15 percent."
Our ruling
Scott's campaign said in an email to reporters, "Charlie Crist signed into law an automatic 15 percent annual tuition increase."
It's true that Crist did sign a law allowing tuition increases, but they were neither automatic nor always 15 percent. The legislation allowed the Board of Governors to supplement whatever increase lawmakers provided in the state budget by increasing tuition up to a total of 15 percent.
While the tuition differential was used to its fullest extent for several years, a Board of Governors vote was required each year. The governor has no say over what the board decides, but does pick the members. The amount by which the board has voted to change tuition has varied the past two years.
The statement is partially accurate, but leaves out important details. We rate it Half True.

With the divorce rate being what it is these days, marriage definitely isn't something to take lightly. After all, most of us aren't anything like a certain reality star whose reputation is currently at major risk for her speedy marital shenanigans. Most of us want to be completely sure we're compatible with our potential life partner before zipping down the aisle.
I'll never forget my mom telling me what the rabbi who married my parents said to them before they took their vows over 35 years ago. He told them that there are three things you must be in sync with in order to keep your marriage afloat: Money, family, and sex. Sounds simple enough, but one or all of those things can get hairy at some point for any couple! So, while I think that's a terrific general guideline, there are definitely more nuanced ways to tell if you're a match made in monogamous heaven. Jacqueline Del Rosario, "America's Marriage Doctor," offered her take on some of those ways.
- You are like-minded. Del Rosario explains, "While you don't have to be exactly the same (let's face it, that would be boring), you do need to have congruent core morals and values." This is something I learned again and again when I was out there in the minefield known as the dating scene. There were guys who I realized right off the bat had completely polar opposite values (often they were super-materialistic, posing as "ambitious"). Not gonna work!
- Your temperament balances one another. In other words, even if you're total opposites -- and you can be "the Yin to your mate's Yang," says Del Rosario -- those differences have to create harmony in some way, shape, or form. You're headed for a roller coaster of disaster if your tendencies are just too different. I can definitely relate ... the boyfriend and I can be on two ends of the spectrum (passive vs. outgoing, chill vs. go-go-go) from time to time, but our energies seem to balance out. We learn from one another and make each other stronger in spite of our differences.
- You're both willing to do the work. This is obviously super-important for any marriage. Can't head into lifelong commitment territory without being on the same page about how much effort it's going to take to keep your marriage healthy and happy. Similarly, you should know whether or not you're able to resolve problems and work through conflict as a team, explains Del Rosario. That's what partnership is about after all, right?
- You speak the same "love" language. It may sound a bit cheesy, but basically this just means that you're able to understand/respect/learn/appreciate one another's romantic, sexual, and emotional needs. Seems to reflect what my parents' rabbi had to say to them about sexual compatibility. And that's not to say it's always going to be easy, but you have to both be willing to put in the effort to satisfy one another. (See #3.)
- You're attracted to one another. Sure, looks fade, but "fundamental human attraction can keep the fires burning between the two of you -- physically and emotionally," says Del Rosario. It seems to me the happiest couples who have been together the longest amount of time seem to have been perpetually drawn to one another. Each believes the other is majorly HOT!
- You genuinely like who they are as a person. To me, this one is HUGE! So often, we fall for that guy we're attracted to, but who we could never be friends with ... because he's a jerk or it's more about sex than a mental connection. Del Rosario argues that "a relationship must be based upon a solid friendship that can stand the test of time." You should really truly be able to say your partner is your best friend. I never knew you could have those two things rolled into one person ... that is, until I met my boyfriend. Once you find that, I think it's safe to say you've hit the hubby jackpot.
Do you agree with this checklist? What other relationship traits do you think need to exist in order to have a great marriage?

How to Cut a Whole Chicken
Step 1: Cutting Chicken Legs
Rinse chicken and pat dry. Place on a cutting board with the wings away from you. Gently pull leg away from side of breast and slice through skin and meat.
How to Roast a Chicken
Roasted chicken is a classic comfort food. Watch this video to learn how to season, tie and roast a chicken.
Step 2: Separating Legs and Wings from Chicken
Bend leg joint away from body. Insert knife and cut down through joint in one quick motion, separating whole leg from body. If desired, repeat with wing on same side of bird, slicing down through joint closest to body.
Step 3: Separating Thighs and Drumsticks
If you want to leave the chicken leg whole, omit this step. If not, turn leg over so it sits skin-side down. Slice along fat line between thigh and drumstick. Cut cleanly through leg joint. Repeat steps with opposite leg and wing, if desired.
Step 4: Cutting the Body
Starting at pointed end of breast, slice down through body cavity towards thickest part of breast, separating from backbone (save for making stock or discard).
Step 5: Splitting Chicken Breast
Turn breast skin-side down and split in half along breastbone (this will require firm pressure).
Step 6: Cutting Breast Pieces
Turn over breast pieces and cut each in half, to create a total of 10 chicken pieces (2 wings, 2 thighs, 2 drumsticks and 4 breast pieces).
