On Tuesday morning – after efforts to Repeal and Replace the Affordable Care Act fell short despite a Republican majority in the Senate – President Donald Trump lashed out against the American people by insisting he would "[l]et Obamacare fail."
As I have always said, let ObamaCare fail and then come together and do a great healthcare plan. Stay tuned!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 18, 2017
For Trump – if only to prove a point – damning the nation to an unstable healthcare market would be an acceptable thing to do.
Albeit cautiously optimistic, it seems yet another Trump promise has faded away in that Obamacare is here to stay. But where does that leave the Republican agenda?
The head cheerleader for the repeal and replace effort – Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) – all but conceded defeat, but remains determined to push through some sort of change regardless:
"If my side is unable to agree on an adequate replacement, then some kind of action with regard to the private health insurance market must occur," he said earlier this month. This could mean that the Republican majority would have to *gasp!* reach out to Democrats to help shape and pass a bill that builds upon rather than replaces the current Affordable Care Act.
Democrats – as led by Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (NY) – have openly endorsed working with Republicans to do this very thing; a move that was widely ignored by the Republican majority when they thought a sure win was in the cards. Even some open-minded Republicans seem to be on board as well, like Senators John McCain (AZ) and Susan Collins (ME).
Donald Trump wants Obamacare to "fail." Here's a better idea.
There are a multitude of options available for both sides to appropriately tout and support a strengthened ACA. For instance, both House and Senate Republican health-care bills contained a variety of provisions that would have shored up existing individual health insurance markets. Low income health cost assistance can be properly explored (a Democrat push, mainly, though it would widely benefit red state coverage holders), while expanding state-by-state options would surely appease Republicans.
Reinsurance programs that protect insurers with high-cost customers should be negotiated, as it would result in decreased premiums across the board, and the contentious "individual mandate" could be enforced not as a penalty but as a tax benefit in the other direction.
The point is – as if there was any question – the president is vastly out of touch. He is an outsider to proper governing and should be treated as such. If both parties work toward perfecting Obamacare rather than abolish it, the country would be in a far better state.Click here for reuse options!

One of my biggest complaints about many moisturizers, and the reason I didn't use to apply them as often as I should have, is that too often they left my face shiny as if I had just come back from a run or the gym. I hated it so much that it put me off wearing moisturizer at all if I was about to put on make up and run out the door during my teen years.
Now that I'm older, I've come the realization that it is a matter of finding the right product for your skin, and I'm sure my face thanks me for no longer shunning this important pre-makeup step.
My experience with Valentia's Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer has been the opposite from all the moisturizers my younger self tried. I am in love with this product and despite having several kinds of products in my bathroom, I grab this one more often than any other.
It's pretty much granted to say that the moisturizing part of the product is outstanding and leaves my face super soft, but what has won me over is how light and fast-absorbing this amazing cream is. I can apply my makeup just moments later without any greasy feeling, and it doesn't affect how it sets, so it doesn't make it run at all!
As if that weren't enough, I love that Valentia is all natural, free of toxins and, also paraben-free. All super important for me!
Try it out and let me know what you think?
One of my last year's new year intentions that I'm still keeping is to take better care of myself, so I'll be sharing some tips and product reviews as part of this effort. (I received free samples for this review, but my opinion is, as always, my own.)

The gold standard in innovation
SOME of the hottest startups with an eye to disrupting their industries won the biggest prizes in this year's Singapore Infocomm Technology Federation awards.
Spiking, an app which gives real-time data to retail investors on the investment decisions of sophisticated investors, took the gold in the Best Innovative Start-Up - Early Stage category.
DynaOptics won the gold for the Best Innovative Start-up - Growth Stage category for its Wala Cam, a wide-angle, low-aberration camera.
But more than just disrupting their industries locally, both companies have the potential to grow big on the international stage, a common theme for this year's winners, said the head judge for the Growth Stage category, Ng Chee Soon.
Spiking has scaled up to cover more than 10 stock exchanges in over eight countries, including Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Malaysia, while DynaOptics is looking to place its free-form lenses in all cameras.
"The winners displayed a very international outlook, and in some cases, the team compositions were very diverse in ethnic background and nationality," said Mr Ng, who is also president and managing director of Sennheiser Electronic Asia.
The SiTF Awards began in 2009 to honour the most innovative made-in-Singapore companies in the infocomm and technology sector. The SiTF is an industry association comprising corporate members ranging from local startups to established multinational corporations. The body advocates for the information, communications and media industries and helps to accelerate the adoption of ICM technology.
This year, the awards focused on the vibrant startup scene in Singapore as well as on schools, in order to nurture the next generation of high-flying technopreneurs.
"Startups in the industry have the potential to change Singapore's ICM landscape and create new industries. They can contribute to the economic dynamism of the country by spurring innovation and competition," said Shirley Wong, chairman of the SiTF Awards 2016 organising committee. "Our students are budding innovators and future drivers of change. Together they both represent the lifeblood and next generation of entrepreneurs which is critical for growth."
The awards attracted some 200 high-quality nominations and the judges had a hard time deciding on the eventual winners, said Chang Yew Kong, head judge of the Early Stage category.
A total of nine startup organisations representing industries ranging from trading and education technology (EduTech) to data management and online ordering systems received awards that acknowledged their outstanding contributions. Ten schools from the primary to the tertiary level were also recognised for their entries.
SiTF chairman Saw Ken Wye said that the awards are meant to encourage entrepreneurs and startups to grow and thrive.
"Many new ideas come out of small companies and entrepreneurs and it is crucial that we develop an ecosystem that can allow startups to grow and thrive. This year's awards showcase innovation ranging from machine learning, data analytics to e-marketplaces," said Mr Saw.
"At SiTF, we play a fundamental role in anticipating ICM trends and developing initiatives that strengthen the community. The awards give the winners the recognition and encouragement to further excel. They have an opportunity to not just be profiled, but also to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs."
Competition was especially stiff in the school competitions with all three categories - tertiary, secondary and primary - seeing a tie for gold.
In the tertiary category, the gold award was won by both Nanyang Polytechnic and Singapore Polytechnic.
Nanyang Polytechnic student Koh Vinleon won for his Emotional Analysis Buddy app which can track a person's emotional state through his or her social media posts, while Singapore Polytechnic students created an artificial intelligence service called Nyx that helps businesses organise events.
Fuhua Primary School and Rosyth School were tied in the primary school category for gold. Fuhua's students won for the unusual experiment at turning a piano painting on the floor into an actual working one, while Rosyth students created video games to raise awareness of cyber-wellness in their school.
"The final result of ties attests to the good quality of finalists and their submissions. The winners' products also have good potential to serve not just Singapore but regional markets," said Mr Chang.
Raffles Institution won double gold for two projects in the secondary school category, one for a dyslexia mobile app called Lexi and the other for a 3D printable prosthetic hand.
The awards, given out at the Mediacorp Theatre on Oct 5, were announced during the ICM Industry Reception Night. The event was attended by more than 450 guests comprising award participants, industry leaders and educators.
"The startup ecosystem in Singapore has picked up momentum and has grown quite significantly in the last few years. Judging from the quality and quantity of the participants, there is no dearth of entrepreneurs in Singapore," said Mr Ng.
Several of the winners said that the awards have inspired them to continue developing new solutions using technology.
Clemen Chiang, founder of Aly, the company which developed Spiking, said the award was a recognition of the app from the leading lights in the industry. "This award certainly affirms Spiking's conviction that verified social trading is the next wave for fintech companies focusing on the capital markets," he said.

Instead, Hillary Clinton opted to position herself as a hawkish/corporatist centrist and didn't even read the ninety page National Intelligence Estimate prior to supporting George W. Bush's folly in Iraq. I won't rehash the entire 2008 presidential primary campaign but Clinton's conduct prior to the Iraq war was the principal reason I didn't support her candidacy this year. Hence, even as I don't question her intellect or ability, I find it difficult to feel any enthusiasm for Clinton as our next Secretary of State.
Indeed, this sentence in Clinton's infamous October 10, 2002 Senate floor speech supporting Bush's war against Saddam Hussein forever damaged her credibility with me:
"He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members, though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001."There was zero evidence of any relationship between Saddam and Al Quaeda and saying "apparently no evidence" of his involvement in 9/11 suggests some revealation was lurking just around the corner. Other Democrats like Joe Biden also wrongfully enabled Bush's war and apologized for their poor judgment. But Hillary Clinton did more than that. Her speech helped reinforce the Bush/Cheney false narrative about Iraq and 9/11. I for one can neither forgive nor forget. Hillary Clinton's support of Bush/Cheney fear mongering made her unworthy as a presidential candidate in my eyes. For damn sure it makes her unworthy to serve as America's voice to the world.
Another concern I have is that Clinton will staff the State Department with her own cronies. Certainly she would never accept the position without assurances about autonomy to pick her own staff. In fairness, Clinton should not be expected to accept such a post and be gelded like Colin Powell was with people inside the State Department who undermined him at every opportunity. Of course Clinton should be surrounded by personalities she trusts. And yet one can easily envision a soap opera in which the National Security Council contains Obama loyalists while the State Department becomes perceived as a fifth column serving Hillary Clinton. That is a recipe for disaster both at home and abroad.
Oh I can see the logic of it. In terms of raw politics, with one stroke Obama neuters a potential rival power base inside the Democratic party while giving both Bill and Hillary Clinton a stake in his presidency. Furthermore, Hillary Clinton's celebrity can be an enormous asset on the world stage and allow Obama to focus on domestic issues during a time of economic crisis. Her appointment adds to Obama's image as a self-confident post partisan leader who unlike Bush doesn't need to surround himself with rubber stamp cronies. I acknowledge those points. Perhaps it will work out for the best. I hope so but I have my doubts.
Also, even though I voted for Clinton's primary opponent in her 2006 Senate re-election campaign on principle (yes she really did have a primary opponent), New York can't afford to lose her now. Clinton is understandably frustrated by her lack of seniority in the world's most deliberative body. Yet I believe Clinton underestimates just how much clout she truly has. Hillary Clinton emerged from this year's campaign with a distinct political brand as the voice of working people who garnered 18 million votes. It may not be a powerful committee chair but that kind of demonstrated constituency means leverage. Other Senators hope to cut deals with figures possessing that kind of brand to enhance their stature and benefit from political cover.
Now more than ever New York needs that kind of clout. Even though a Democrat will occupy the White House, reliable blue states such as New York will still have to compete for their share of federal aid with traditional battle ground states. True New York's senior Senator Charles Schumer is no shrinking violet but following Wall Street's implosion the Empire State needs all the clout and leverage it can muster.
So as both an American and a New Yorker I hope the media is wrong about Hillary Clinton becoming Secretary of State. Others can serve Obama just as ably but few New Yorkers can accomplish what Hillary Clinton can for our struggling state.

text: Departing from the Steve Miller Band after a two-album stint, Boz Scaggs found himself on his own but not without support. Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner, his friend, helped him sign with Atlantic Records and the label had him set up shop in Muscle Shoals, recording his debut album with that legendary set of studio musicians, known for their down-and-dirty backing work for Aretha Franklin and Wilson Pickett, among many other Southern soul legends. The Muscle Shoals rhythm section, occasionally augmented by guitarist Duane Allman, gives this music genuine grit, but this isn't necessarily a straight-up blue-eyed soul record, even if the opening "I'm Easy" and "I'll Be Long Gone" are certainly as deeply soulful as anything cut at Muscle Shoals. Even at this early stage Scaggs wasn't content to stay in one place, and he crafted a kind of Americana fantasia here, also dabbling in country and blues along with the soul and R&B that grounds this record. If the country shuffle "Now You're Gone" sounds just slightly a shade bit too vaudeville for its own good, it only stands out because the rest of the record is pitch-perfect, from the Jimmie Rodgers cover "Waiting for a Train" and the folky "Look What I Got!" to the extended 11-minute blues workout "Loan Me a Dime," which functions as much as a showcase for a blazing Duane Allman as it does for Boz. But even with that show-stealing turn, and even with the Muscle Shoals musicians giving this album its muscle and part of its soul, this album is still thoroughly a showcase for Boz Scaggs' musical vision, which even at this stage is wide and deep. It would grow smoother and more assured over the years, but the slight bit of raggedness suits the funky, down-home performances and helps make this not only a great debut, but also an enduring blue-eyed soul masterpiece. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

A few months ago, when confronted about running an ad that depicted Obama discussing the economy when the president was actually quoting John McCain, Mitt Romney said, "What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander." I have previously suggested that the ability to disconnect words from authorship made changing positions even easier for Romney.
But this pattern of lying and not acknowledging it even when confronted directly has persisted and has led me to look for other sources of Romney's behavior, and of his clear comfort with continuing it. I think much of this comfort stems from his Mormon faith.
First, let's look at a recent example. Last month, Romney held up a book called The Escape Artists written by Noam Scheiber of The New Republic. He said that the book showed that the Obama administration knew that Obamacare would slow down economic recovery and didn't particularly care.
Scheiber wrote on May 21, 2012, that Romney had the wrong "take-away" from the book. He quoted Romney as having said, "In this book they point out that they said the American people will forget how long this recovery took. So that means that when they went into this knowing that when they passed Obamacare, it was going to make life harder for the American people."
This is not at all what Scheiber wrote, though he did write that the Obama administration could have done more to help create jobs by pushing for a bigger stimulus package. He never said that Obama knew that he was sacrificing the economy to pursue his pet project.
What is not dramatic is that Romney never recanted his position after Scheiber detailed what the book actually said three days later. But what is dramatic is what happened two weeks later, on June 6, when Romney said the same thing again — albeit it with slight differences. Romney said that the Obama administration "knowingly slowed down our recovery in order to put in place Obamacare, which they wanted and they considered historic but the American people did not want or consider historic."
So on June 7, Mr. Scheiber again had to repeat the actual words from his book. Rachel Maddow, on her MSNBC program, asked aloud why Romney continues to lie in the face of evidence to the contrary. She said that in the case of Solyndra, when Romney lied explicitly about where the money went, he was "nailed for telling that lie" about Solyndra steering money to the Obama administration's friends and family. The Chicago Tribune had the headline "Romney Hits the Sauce Again" — implying that you can be a teetotaler and still behave with the certainty of a drunk.
I found myself discussing this situation with several colleagues and we agreed that Romney doesn't lie. Let me repeat: Mitt Romney doesn't lie. He is telling the truth as he sees it — and truth it is, facts notwithstanding. This is not simply a case of Hamlet arguing about point of view, saying, "for there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." This is about a conflict between evidence and faith. There is a long tradition in the Mormon belief system where evidence takes second place to faith. Examples abound, as when two Mormon Elders who were questioned about the inconsistency in passages from the Book of Mormon said "We know the Book of Mormon is true and that it contains the Word of God even in the face of evidence that appears contradictory," according to The Mormon Missionaries by former Mormon Janice Hutchison. Thus there are no lies, only faith-based certainty that translates as truth for which no apology is needed, since what was said was not a lie.
Children learn to lie at different times in their development, but almost always by the age of 10. Their lies help establish them as separate from their parents, especially if the parents believe them. And one doesn't have to be a Mormon to lie — just look at John Edwards or former Nevada Senator John Ensign. But in the Mormon Church, there was a decision to accept authority as true — whether or not evidence supported it. Hence Joseph Smith, the founder of the faith in 1820, claimed he was illiterate and received the "Book" directly from God. But he could read, and read very well.
This unwavering faith is central to Romney's comfort deflecting any examples that the press might bring up of his lying. Further it allows him to repeat lies again and again — both personally and in political advertising — because to him they are not lies at all. I'm reminded of that old epigram from the 1960s that said "My mind is made up; don't confuse me with the facts." That may be all good and well in many offices, but it's not so good in the Oval Office.

Consumer Confidential: Online deals, safe cars, holiday accidents
Here's your fightin'-words Friday roundup of consumer news from around the Web:
--It's Free Shipping Day! More than 2,500 retailers are participating. And just in time, here are some of the sweeter deals out there to save you even more money. At Coldwater Creek's website, enter the promo code BEST40 to get 40% off your purchase. At J. Crew's site, use the code CHEER to get 30% off.

--Which cars are safest? Glad you asked. The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety has crunched the numbers and come up with its winners. Companies with the strongest showing included Subaru, which got top ratings for all five models it sells in the U.S. Toyota got the most top picks, with 15 of its Toyota, Lexus and Scion models. Honda gets a nod for most improved. Of the 18 vehicles new to top safety pick status this year, 10 of them were Honda or Acura models. Among high-mileage green cars, the Toyota Prius V qualifies. So do the plug-in Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt. (MoneyWatch)
--And be safe in the home as well. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, more than 13,000 people were treated in emergency departments nationwide last year due to injuries involving holiday decorations. This is an increase from 10,000 in 2007 and 12,000 in 2008 and 2009. Although estimates of deaths and injuries related to Christmas tree and candle fires are down, there are still an alarming number of incidents. Live trees or other evergreen decorations that have dried out burn fast and hot in a matter of seconds if they come in contact with an open flame. The agency recommends extra caution with flames, make sure your tree is watered, and be careful climbing up and down ladders. (Times News)

A sunrise takes you to a place almost outside of time and space. To see a day born is a deeply moving experience, and I have seen few enough to remember most of them, but there have been two on this trip that I think I would remember – even if I drank of the mythological "waters of forgetfulness"
The first was in a field of poppies beneath the medieval walls of Carcassonnne, watching as the sun turned the walls into burnished gold and the poppies unfolded into translucent red silk. The second morning was on the steps of a 10th century church on a hill above the city of Florence. In that quiet and sacred space Janell and I watched the rays light on the Duomo and gradually waken the sleeping city.
Our dean Gregg Finley loves to use the phrase "thin place" to identify those times and places where the gap between heaven and earth is narrowed or closed. I can't help but think, in the midst of man-made sculpture, painting, and architecture, that the most powerful beauty of all – the kind which creates such "thin places" – is the beauty of the natural world God created. In the midst of which are those moments when He lets us see it in all its glory. At the same time, I have to add that I am becoming more and more amazed as our trip goes on, at how He is so gracious as to share His beauty-making capacity with mankind. I see this gift in the beauty of Michelangelo's "Pieta" or in the collaboration the Duomo of Florence and the walls of Carcassone with the light of His sun.

The #ASUS #ZenFoneSelfie was released in August this year with the intention to appeal to selfie fans across the world. The company has now released a slightly more premium version of the handset, calling it the ZenFone Selfie Deluxe Edition. The device has a slightly textured back with crystal like cuts all over the back panel, while the standard ZenFone Selfie uses a plain back cover.
In addition to this, the internals have been slightly revamped as well. The ZenFone Selfie Deluxe Edition comes with 3GB of RAM underneath and 128GB of storage, which can be further expanded with the use of a microSD card. It features the same 5.5 inch 1080p display, the octa core Snapdragon 615 SoC underneath as well as 13-megapixel cameras on the front and back respectively.
There's no word on whether the handset will make its way to global markets, but the device seems to be limited to the Chinese markets for the time being. We'll make sure you're updated with any new information on the ASUS ZenFone Selfie Deluxe Edition.

Honda Illusions Impossible Made Possible
Honda has released "Illusions", a television commercial with the tag line, "An impossible, made possible". The Honda Illusions campaign aims to tackle preconceptions about SUVs by positioning the CR-V 1.6 i-DTEC Diesel as the economical SUV. In essence, an SUV offering a bigger car experience, but with smaller car economy. The TV advert shows the CR-V taking a journey through a series of optical illusions, all in-camera and all centred around the CR-V. The commercial will be supported by a fully integrated campaign comprising of print, OOH, digital, DM and dealership comms.
Honda Illusions Credits
The Honda Illusions campaign was developed at McGarrybowen London by executive creative directors Paul Jordan and Angus Macadam, art director Remco Graham, copywriter Richard Holmes, planners Kevin Chesters and Max Kennedy, and agency producer Richard Firminger.
Filming was shot by director Chris Palmer via Gorgeous.
Editor was Paul Watts at The Quarry. Post production was done by VFX artists Tom Sparks and Lewis Saunders at FaTiBoo, colourist Seamus O'Kane and online editor Matthew "Wispy" Clarke at The Mill.

The free Travel Coupons app is designed especially for interstate travelers seeking to save on hotel stays. Not all are what I would think about travel books, but nonetheless some interesting entries here. As soon as you have an agreement to use any of the GDS, then you can begin creating your travel primarily based search engine. Guidebooks are normally split amongst focusing on all of Europe or focusing on a distinct country/city. I feel I have virtually each book published on travel and living in Japan and Rough Guide is probably the one that I refer the most people to. It just has that feeling of being written and edited by folks who have been there, unlike Fodors or Frommers which is a lot more like reading travel agency pamphlets.
Yes, to make your own search engine you want a single good programmer and a single net designer There are handful of companies who develop travel primarily based search engines, you can take their help as effectively. MichaelPalin Former Python Michael Palin has created a name for himself lately as a brilliant travel-writer and has produced six of his travel books available for on the internet viewing.
These books deal with time and season bound events and the detailed information supplied, tends to make it an excellent decision for travelers. The true spending budget traveler probably will not uncover this too beneficial simply because a lot of the stuff in these guides are pretty higher-finish. No matter where you're heading to, you can uncover beneficial and insightful travel books covering both the southern and northern hemispheres, like the Polar Regions, Europe, Canada, Australia, South America, and Africa.
If you have cash or you are an existing travel agent and want to make your personal travel primarily based website, then second option is much better for you. Or attempt listening to audio travel books whilst touring to develop your own, personalized walking tour of a new city. The procedure is much the identical as at Powell's: tell them which books you have, they inform you which books they want, and how much they'll pay.
Our choice of travel books is sorted into convenient categories to make browsing and shopping faster and less difficult. I like the DK books for their background information about Japan in basic and in detail, and their internet site seeing details is extremely valuable. Powell's is really picky with the condition of books they will buy – all books have to be in very good condition with NO markings or highlighting.

He led the team in eFG% [= (FGM + .5*3PM)/FGA] in conference play and was second only to Greg Monroe in TS% [= Pts/(2*[FGA + (.44*FTA)])]. He was the team's best 3-point shooter. He was the team's best rebounder from the guard spot, and again only Monroe was truly a better rebounder.
Of course, Clark wasn't the Hoyas' best offensive player. Actually, he really wasn't all that close to the top, probably sliding in at #5 spot in a short rotation. The reason was simple: turnovers.
As noted above, Clark was great at putting the ball in the hoop when he actually got a shot off.
The problem is that nearly 30% of the time Clark ended a Hoya possession, he never took a shot - he was turning the ball over. Every time Clark shoots the ball, the Hoyas score an average of 1.4 points, which is fantastic. But once you factor in the turnovers, Clark was a sub-par offensive player.
Clark is an extreme, but he's no more an extreme on the Hoyas than the Hoyas are in college basketball. Since Thompson has been at Georgetown, the team has generally been very efficient at scoring when they actually shoot, and fairly poor at taking care of the ball:
Conference Play
Year TO Rate Rank TO/game TS% Rank Off. Eff.
2004-05 22 11 13.8 56 2 105
2005-06 19 9 11.5 56 3 110
2006-07 22 14 13.4 60 1 115
2007-08 21 14 13.5 58 3 110
2008-09 23 14 15.0 54 7 101
This is not a surprise, of course.
The Hoyas work the shot clock, looking for a high percentage opportunity. Those extra passes and dribbles mean extra chances for turnovers. There are a significant number of attempts at backdoors and other cuts; those types of plays often result in either an extraordinarily high percentage shot - a layup or dunk - or a turnover. Additionally, the offense requires that all players handle and pass; there's no doubt that some players are more turnover-prone than others (we're also looking at you, Mr. Vaughn). In other offenses the coaches may find a way to shield those players from having the ball too often.
The benefit to Georgetown's approach, of course, is better shot selection than most teams. When working effectively, it generates a tremendous amount of easy shots and uncontested lay-ups. There are few ill-advised or forced shots.
In general, the Hoyas' excellent True Shooting % has overcome the team's difficulty with turnovers. But last year, two things happened on this front. The team did not make as many shots (and from my observation, did not get nearly as many easy shots). And the turnover rate increased as well as pace, leading to an increase of almost 1.5 turnovers per game.
This may not seem like much. But given the Hoyas' efficiency at scoring, the benefit gained from reducing turnovers is more significant than most. Lowering the team turnover rate to 20% from 23% would yield an extra two offensive shot attempts per game, not including any put-backs. Provided that the team would take those extra shots at their normal accuracy, that yields an extra 2.5-3.0 ppg. Given the number of careless and stupid turnovers observed (painfully), there is no reason to think that a reduction of turnovers by one to two a game could only come at the expense of the team taking worse shots.
Georgetown was outscored in conference play 66 to 67 - 1 point! Would their record have been 7-11 if the average score was 69-67 instead? Looking at it another way, the Hoyas lost three games by three points or less: Cincinnati, at Syracuse and at St. John's. With those extra points, that's a 10-8 record and an NCAA bid without improving upon any other aspect of their game.
With Jessie Sapp graduated and Vee Sanford a freshman, more ball handling opportunities will fall to Clark this year. He was on the floor for just 44% of conference minutes last year and used only 18% of possessions once there. Both of those are likely to increase.
That means even more focus upon Clark's ball-handling and decision-making than last year.
Another year of struggling to hold onto the ball, and much of the Hoyas' season could replay like the Duke game, when Clark's otherwise fine play was marred by a disastrous turnover when filling in at point for Chris Wright. But if Clark can solve his turnover problem, he may be one of the most efficient guards in the Big East. If the Hoyas as a whole can solve their turnover problem, they will return to being one of the best offenses in the country.

It's Lex's birthday! Let the preparations begin!
But looking at my boy, my sweet sweet boy. I know how far he's come. From that tiny little baby who cries "waah-ah! waah-ah! waah-ah!" every few hours to this fast crawling, self-support standing, loud singing baby who constantly lures his parents' attention either by making pacute or by fake crying (whatever works!), I can see he's really changed a lot. And everyday, I am in awe of him.
There are times, late at night, when it was just my husband and I talking, that we marvel at these changes. "He was just in my tummy before!" I cry. "And now, look at him!" I gush at the sleeping Lex beside us.
At first, I didn't really want to hold a party for Lex. Aside from the fact that he won't remember anything from it, a party is another thing that will take away a chunk of Phps in our budget which we could spend on other things, like say, travelling.
But one day, and this is not a joke. I woke up and felt God impressed in my heart that this party, if we were to have one, is not just for Lex. It's for Mon and I too! Because as Lex turns a year old, we also turn a year old as parents. So, it's not just Lex's milestones we're celebrating, it's ours too! And besides, it would be fun to gather a small crowd of close family and friends in one place so we can make memories and catch up. Just as we did at Lex's Christening when he was just 3 months old.
And so I made it my mission to create a wonderful party for Lex. A simple yet wonderful party. Having researched quite a lot on how first birthdays are being celebrated these days, I can say that I am aware of how the industry has changed. Gone are the days when noodles, fried chicken, lumpia, and hotdog sticks are good enough. Now, birthdays are teeming with magicians, balloon twisters, clowns, food carts, photo booths, and other what have yous. But the truth is, this is not at all my desire for Lex's party. And I think, this is not something Lex wants also because knowing my son, he's not very keen to loud noise and a busy, rowdy environment.
Not to say that I have anything against those who choose to celebrate with all the extravaganza. I'm just saying that that is not my style or Mon's style. And as we know of our son, nor is it Lex's style too.
Suffice it to say that we would just want his family, both Mon's and mine, to be there. Close friends who have celebrated with us all throughout my pregnancy. People who were happy for us when Lex finally came into this world. For me, a good meal shared only with those who have a genuine relationship with us and our little boy is good enough. Just that will make it all wonderful.

Hey Jen! Exactly my thoughts. Sabi ko nga diba? Wala ng decors, wala ng bonggang venue. I love to eat and I have loads of friends so we'll just have a "kanto-party" with good food and kulit kids. To each her own. Sabi mo nga, celebration nyo din yan mag asawa so go! Goodluck on the preps! Ako din nahihilo na. Malapit na din sa akin.ReplyDelete
Hi Mommy!ReplyDelete
Happy birthday to your little tot! :) As for me, my husband is not really fond of big parties. Since I'm mapilit, we organized a big party when my eldest turned one year old. It's not as extravagant as what you see on the net but it's still something - balloons, catered food, giveaways, cake and cupcake tower, the works. For our second baby, my husband was really insisting we just have a simple party so i obliged (with a heavy heart). It was just our family and a few friends but we made sure that the food is still delish :)
I have to agree that they won't remember it anyway except see the pics. But I made a vow that by the time my girls reached 7, I'll have to throw them a big party they really deserve :)
I recently had my son's birthday celebration and I absolutely recommend that small gathering you want for Baby Lex, for you and hubby. My son had a total of 150+++ guests (adults and kids included) which almost had the whole shakey's store covered. I wasn't even able to sit because we reached the max capacity of the store. Honestly, I wasn't able to meet each one of them or even said a simple thank you because most of them went home just before I could have said goodbye. My son was also irritable din because of the noise and a lot of people surrounding him. Although I can see guests had fun, I still preferred a small one too (it was hubby and grandparents who invited too many guests actually).ReplyDelete

Coffee info
Flavor is the overall perception of the coffee in your mouth. Acidity, aroma, and body are all components of flavor. It is the balance and homogenization of these senses that create your overall perception of flavor. On the following page we describe the typical flavor characteristics.
While tasting the coffee, you should try to discern whether the flavor, body, acidity and aroma of the coffee is pleasant, or unpleasant. Here are the criteria that most tasters use to judge coffee:
Acidity is a desirable characteristic in coffee. It is the sensation of dryness that the coffee produces under the edges of your tongue and on the back of your palate. The role acidity plays in coffee is not unlike its role as related to the flavor of wine. It provides a sharp, bright, vibrant quality. With out sufficient acidity, the coffee will tend to taste flat. Acidity should not be confused with sour, which is an unpleasant, negative flavor characteristic.
Aroma is a sensation which is difficult to separate from flavor. Without our sense of smell, our only taste sensations would be: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. The aroma contributes to the flavors we discern on our palates. Subtle nuances, such as "floral" or "winy" characteristics, are derived from the aroma of the brewed coffee.
Body is the feeling that the coffee has in your mouth. It is the viscosity, heaviness, thickness, or richness that is perceived on the tongue. A good example of body would be that of the feeling of whole milk in your mouth, as compared to water. Your perception of the body of a coffee is related to the oils and solids extracted during brewing. Typically, Indonesian coffees will possess greater body than South and Central American coffees. If you are unsure of the level of body when comparing several coffees, try adding an equal amount of milk to each. Coffees with a heavier body will maintain more of their flavor when diluted.

Our lucky seventh Player to Watch for 2014 is so watchworthy that everyone and their grandmothers have already written a "one to watch" profile about him in the past few weeks. Indeed, his press has been so prevalent that I was almost dissuaded from including him on my PTW roster just because the choice is so ridiculously en vogue (and I'm so ridiculously anti-mainstream).
Alas, even though his profiles have become a dime a dozen, by putting in my own 2 cents I hope to make this profile worth at least 12¢. I guarantee mine will have more nonsense in it. #MyPromiseToYou
According to his first coach, he was a chubby kid who was a bit slow on the court. But his will to win also bore him results at an early age. At age 15, he made the Round of 16 at the 2011 Australian Open Junior Championships. He won a Grade 2 Juniors vs. Herkko Pollanen at the Dunlop Japan Open and had wins over Thiago Montiero and Nikola Milojevic in other '11 tourneys.
He really began making a name for himself in 2012 on the doubles court, taking back-to-back dubs titles with partner Andrew Harris at the Roland Garros and Wimbledon Junior Championships, although he did post a win over PTW #6, Gianluigi Quinzi, on the singles court at Roehampton in between those two benchmarks (and, you know, also lose to Quinzi on the Wimby singles court. But that's not important right now.)
So who is this mystery man? Well, you've really done very poorly if you've not guessed it's none other than Nick Kyrgios (especially because his name's just under the title).
Kyrgios made the quarterfinals of the US Open Junior Championships, losing to Filip Peliwo, and followed up his junior Slam exploits with two junior tourney wins (beating PTW #1 Borna Coric in Osaka) and a slammin' semifinal showing at the Australia F10 Futures, beating compatriot Luke Saville in the quarters.
This year, Kyrgios has nicked up the field in a way that has boys and pros alike licking their wounds, going 21/2 in the juniors and 27/9 in the seniors for an overall winning percentage of over 81%.

Summit Entertainment's released a new poster for this fall's Ender's Game, the big-screen adaptation of the novel by the same name. The book was written by Orson Scott Card and published in 1985. Since then, it's become a celebrated piece of sci-fi literature.
The film stars Asa Butterfield as Ender Wiggin and Harrison Ford as Colonel Hyrum Graff. In the following photo, the duo are standing tall with their game faces on. No one does the "You ready for war?" face better than Ford.
Official synopsis:
In the near future, a hostile alien race (called the Formics) have attacked Earth. If not for the legendary heroics of International Fleet Commander, Mazer Rackham (Ben Kingsley), all would have been lost. In preparation for the next attack, the highly esteemed Colonel Graff (Harrison Ford) and the International Military are training only the best young children to find the future Mazer. Ender Wiggin (Asa Butterfield), a shy, but strategically brilliant boy is pulled out of his school to join the elite.
Arriving at Battle School, Ender quickly and easily masters increasingly difficult war games, distinguishing himself and winning respect amongst his peers. Ender is soon ordained by Graff as the military's next great hope, resulting in his promotion to Command School. Once there, he's trained by Mazer Rackham, himself, to lead his fellow soldiers into an epic battle that will determine the future of Earth and save the human race.
Ender's Game opens in theaters Nov. 1.

text: I hate my vulva: The pressure to conform to unrealistic genital beauty standards #Identity#body image#sex Posted Nov 25 2016 Megan Finley Horowitz meggyfin Photo courtesy of Medium.com There's a post on Medium that caught my eye the other day, Vulvas: Shapes, sizes and misconceptions, that I found quite interesting and even therapeutic… Cultural influences like porn have led the labia minora, also known as the "vaginal lips," to become a distinct factor in what is deemed attractive for genitalia. Pubic hair removal has also contributed to this notion as it exposes the genital area. Tiny labias have become glamorized and ubiquitous in the limited (and often artificial) depictions of vulvas out there. And this is perpetuating the idea that there is just one ideal labia, when they come in many colors, shapes and sizes. This is fueling insecurities and could be why more people — and in particular teenagers — are turning to genital plastic surgery such as labiaplasty for purely cosmetic reasons… Positive genital self-image correlates with greater sexual self-esteem (6). And feeling sexually attractive is surely a good thing for your overall self-esteem and intimate relationships. There is still a long way to go in portraying female, intersex and trans genitalia, as well as dismantling the narrow and damaging vulval archetype. Head over to Medium and read the rest of the article. Then come back and let's talk! Do you think there is a pressure to conform to unrealistic genital beauty standards?

We women put ourselves through so much pointless self torture in order to conform to the current standards of beauty. The problem is that the fashions in physical beauty are always changing and it is largely women who drive the change by copying whatever seems to be the next thing. While many individual men have preferences as to body types, for every body type out there, there are men who love it. It has been my experience that most of them won't turn down sex just because you don't fit their perfect image of the ideal woman. Hell, most of them don't even care if you've shaved your legs. While many younger men have their own ego wrapped up in having great arm candy, most men seem to outgrow it and eventually, they just want a woman who will love and respect them. Those who don't outgrow it, seem to end up alone. While it is great to feel beautiful, and we all want that feeling, it is important to remember that it is our individuality and self expression that makes us beautiful to others and not some new fashion in cosmetic surgery. I think anyone suffering from this level of insecurity or self criticism should read the post about the Fuck-Off Fairy. I have found that post so helpful – not just in dealing with body shaming by others, but in dealing with self criticism and insecurity. Anyone who would criticize a lover based on this definitely needs to be told to fuck off! But sometimes it is our own inner critic that needs to just fuck the hell off! Reply I agree with sarah's opinion Reply I have thought about the appearance of my genitals for a long time. Watching all my friends dress I noticed that their inner labia are smaller and stay "tucked in". Mine are longer and kind of dangle out for lack of a better phrase. When I was younger I thought this was how boys "knew" you weren't a virgin since I was raped at 3. I was ashamed of them. It took a long time to get over it. That most men don't care if you are a virgin and the appearance of the genitals. I have more thoughts running through my head more feelings but I can't get the words through. So I think I need to end this here. Reply Jo Ann, I'm sending loving, healing thoughts your way. My abuser spread rumors about the size of my labia. It's so strange and horrible that something we had no influence in controls a part of our self image, and that those who hurt us can take advantage of that to hurt us further, even years after the original abuse. Reply Maybe I live a sheltered life, but I had no idea this was something to think about. When I was in school, I played sports and now go to a gym, but I have never seen other women's vulvae/labia. Is this concern a product of porn (or rather, not porn itself, but the industries treatment/depiction of women)? Reply I read an article that in Australia for a while* this was actually regulated by obscenity laws. Visible labia minora were labelled obscene or "hardcore" (which meant an opened genitalia but ALSO included labia that simply were visible when the legs were closed). So many photos were photoshopped to not violate obscenity laws. It was codified IN LAW that visible labia minora were more obscene than the tucked in ones.

The Atlantic Cities
The American Institute of Architects (AIA) announced today that Julia Morgan, designer of some 700 buildings including Hearst Castle, will be the first female architect to receive the organization's highest honor.
The AIA is pushing Congress to establish an AmeriCorps-like program for young architects. With the potential for aiding underserved communities, reducing student loans, and providing recent grads with real-world experience, what's not to like?
According to the AIA's third-annual progress report on its 2030 Commitment, the number of firms signing on to the environmental program is up. At the same time, the proportion of firms reporting progress toward their goal is underwhelming.
Ecobuilding Pulse
With 800,000 employees on indefinite furlough, national parks closed, and federal benefits and programs eroding, it's safe to say the government shutdown will effect millions of Americans. But some urban areas will feel the pinch more than others.

City Auditor' Office Holds an All-staff Training on Equity
The City of Portland is committed to eliminating institutional racism in government and achieving racial equity in the community so our city can be a great place to live for all people and all generations from all communities. To do this we must change City policy, programs, practices, and procedures.
To move in that direction, the City Auditor's Office participated in an all-staff equity training. The Racial Equity Toolkit Development training helped build on knowledge and skills already in place and provided tools to communicate about race. With the support of the Office of Equity and Human Rights, the training was led by Center for Social Inclusion staff Glen Harris and Jenny Levison, providing guidance on using the racial equity toolkit as it applies to our work in government auditing and accountably. This training empowered the staff to find new ways to communicate about race and strategies on implementing the Racial Equity Toolkit to our daily work.
The goals going forward are to set equitable outcomes, collect and analyze data, understand historical context, engage those most impacted, develop racially equitable strategies and refine outcomes, implement changes, and then evaluate accountability and report back.
This half-day training also provided the entire staff of the Auditor's Office an opportunity to learn together, reconnect and bond as a team.

But okay, you asked for it. See for yourself:
Let's start with the good. The visual effects are on point. The ghosts look sufficiently ghosty. The proton streams look positively protonic. Granted, they did in the first trailer too.
And now the bad. Literally everything else, of course. But most egregiously, I can't tell if this new trailer was made with the awareness of how just negatively people responded to the first one. It starts with a monologue by Melissa McCarthy about the Ghostbusters qualified self-empowerment. Newscasters wondering if they're to be taken seriously. Leslie Jones remarking if it's "a race thing or a lady thing" why she falls flat. The answer? It's a you thing. Your character in this film is the worst part and I've seen less than five minutes of footage between the two trailers. Chris Hemsworth quipping that he's born to be a Ghostbuster in what would almost certainly be a better film.
But it keeps going. "Something big happening". "Apocalypse". The fact that nobody "wants a piece of" Melissa McCarthy. A government coverup. "Mass hysteria". It's… it's unreal– the trailer itself is predicting how terrifyingly awful the film will actually be. And just when you can smile at the thought of Leslie Jones leaving– just when you thought they were done trying to ruin everything– we get the return… of the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.
I pulled my typin' punches the last time we got a trailer. I "sound" more disappointed than upset. But I called it, as anyone with half a brain might have. Yes, in a final desperate gamble to have fans attempt to give one last flying f— about this film, they make the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man into a scary snarling monster, instead of the cute, ironic giant foodstuff kaiju that has become an icon of the franchise.
Mass hysteria, indeed. Just watch.

Ins and Outs of Heaven – Reviews
I have a very dear friend who is dying with terminal stage 4 ovarian cancer that has spread throughout her body. She is very frightened and I would love to acquire Ins and Outs of Heaven' eBook to read it to her. I really do feel it would help her and make a difference for her. I had another friend tell me that her cousin who just died of cancer was having a difficult time with fear knowing she was going to die and my friend read her 'Ins and Outs of Heaven' and it made such a huge difference in her life that just 3 days later she was at peace when she passed away. Then I came across your ad for this very book! I would really love to read it to my dear friend in hopes that I can help her transition in dying to be a peaceful experience for her.
Thank you!

I have known Jenna for 39 years. She is the most spiritual person I have ever known. I have watched her live her truths; she really walks the talk.
Jenna has spent her life learning and teaching about the circle of life and life on the other side. I attribute her knowledge on these subjects to the guidance from the nine guides that have been with her throughout life. We have had many conversations about her guidance and some of her messages from these guides. In her writing she shares her uncommon experiences and her knowing the future in advance as we both have watched it come to pass just as she meticulously shared it with me.
Together Jenna and her guides have created this fascinating book, 'The Ins and Outs of Heaven' as well as her first book 'The Legend of The Nine.' Both books are a must read as they share wisdom that is necessary for the spiritual growth of one's consciousness.

Format: Kindle Edition
Jenna has written a most poignant and inspirational book that will make you laugh and make you cry. But, mostly it will make you understand more about the subject that most of us are reluctant to talk about. Knowing and teaching are two of Jenna's most precious talents and she imparts her wisdom and knowledge in such a way that even the most skeptical can benefit and decide which way they choose to continue on their path.
I speak for myself when I say that each one of her two books have delved into subject matter that is deep and thought provoking, and I can only hope there will be a 3rd, 4th, and 5th down the line.
The size of the book is outweighed by the important content and the sheer revelatory information. I give this book five stars. Perhaps Jenna will be the successor to the same kind of inspiration and education of that of Dr. Wayne Dyer, who now also knows "Ins and Outs of Heaven".
Thank you Jenna!
~ An Enlightened Author has a Strong Message ~

Format: Paperback
'Ins and Outs of Heaven' was my second book by Jenna Orion. After reading her first book I was intrigued and waiting for this book that would reveal the many messages that Jenna has to share with the world. Jenna has been chosen by a higher force to write this book and deliver special messages to humanity. She has been gifted to receive these special connections and visions. Reading each topic that covers an enlightening experience Jenna shares, I felt a sense of relief and calm wash over me. Each passage blew me away and in a good way. I have lost several loved ones and gained a sense of hope knowing that there is life after death and Heaven is real. I've always believed that but reading the many travels Jenna made to Heaven and others in Heaven that have visited her strengthened that belief. I cried when I read the passage about her mother paying her a visit after she had passed on and how her mother let Jenna know all of her beliefs were confirmed and now her mother had to begin a journey of higher spirituality there in Heaven.
Many people have so many questions and worries about death. I really believe reading 'Ins and Outs of Heaven' will give the reader hope along with a brighter outlook on death and the life beyond.
I want to thank Jenna Orion for sharing her messages with us as I felt this was intended to do. It is clear Jenna has been enlightened and her wish is for all of us to reach a higher level of enlightenment while we are here on earth.

A poll released yesterday found an overwhelming majority of respondents — 82.96 percent — are unhappy with the way the administration of President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) handled the Sunflower movement protests over the past three weeks.
The survey, conducted by the Chinese-language Liberty Times' (the Taipei Times' sister newspaper) polling center on Wednesday and Thursday nights, also found that a majority of respondents thought the student activism would deepen democracy in Taiwan.
The Sunflower movement became the name of the protesters who occupied the Legislative Yuan on March 18 to protest against the government's handling of the cross-strait service trade agreement.
The movement's sit-in inside the legislature's main chamber ended on Thursday evening when more than 100 protesters left the building.
When asked about the movement's demands that a law governing oversight of cross-strait negotiations be passed before a review of the service trade pact is resumed, 74.19 percent of respondents agreed with the demand, 17.44 percent disagreed and 8.37 percent had no opinion, the poll found.
More than half of those polled — 58.32 percent — were against student protesters having to face legal action over their actions.
Of those surveyed, 34.28 percent favored the judiciary investigating the protesters, while 6.4 percent declined to comment.
Even among supporters of the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT), the dissatisfaction rates were high.
Analysis showed that among those respondents who said they favored the KMT, 71.16 percent were not happy with the government's handling of the Legislative Yuan protest, while 25 percent backed the administration.
Among those who said they supported the Democratic Progressive Party, 94.44 percent said that the government had mishandled the situation, while 3.47 percent said they were satisfied with the government's reaction.
Among those respondents who said they were politically neutral, 82.47 percent did not agree with the government's handling of the student-led opposition, while only 10.6 percent were in favor.
Comparing the Presidential Office's response to the Wild Lilies student protest in 1990, when then-president Lee Teng-hui (李登輝) met with student representatives at his office and gave concrete answers to their demands, the poll found that respondents were unhappy with the Presidential Office's initial criticism of the Sunflower movement and its subsequent sidestepping of the students' demands.
The Liberty Times poll interviewed 1,015 people aged 20 or above through a random sampling of the last two digits of home telephone numbers nationwide.
The poll has a margin of error of 3.08 percentage points positive or negative and was completely funded by the Liberty Times.
