Released in Norway on Friday, the nearly 330-page book talks about the 25 Nobel peace prize winners awarded under Lundestad between 1990 and 2015.
In "Secretary of Peace" there is "little to no (information) about committee members' thoughts on the different prize candidates" during meetings, the Norwegian author said in a statement.
The Nobel Peace Prize committee released a statement on Monday accusing Lundestad of breaching its trust.
"Lundestad has violated on several points his promise of confidentiality" it said, adding that in 2014 the ex-secretary had signed an agreement binding him to confidentiality for 50 years.
But Lundestad, who did not have the right to vote during his tenure but still had influence, said that "public figures should tolerate being evaluated frankly".
The author and historian writes that 2009 prize winner US President Barack Obama did not fulfil the committee's expectations and that 2004 winner Wangari Maathai -- known for her conservation efforts -- was not the best candidate for the prize.
The author also talks about some of the other members of the committee, and calls into question their international relations knowledge and language skills.
The five members of the Nobel committee, often former politicians, are appointed by the Norwegian parliament. This year's Nobel Peace Prize will be announced on October 9.

Casey: I am a gold girl all the way.
Shannah: I tend to rock the pewter.
What's one thing people would never guess about you?
Casey: I am not sure.... I am a pretty open book. One random fact is I was a lacrosse goalie in college. If you saw me you might be surprised by that fact.
Shannah: I collect smashed pennies from my adventures. One day I hope to make something awesome out of them.
"Priceless" to you means…
Casey: priceless to me are moments and things that cant be replaced. My kids give me priceless moments everyday.
Shannah: I will add to Casey and say the opportunities that we have at f. is for frank to explore and create.

I was invited to go along to the new Clinique counter in Selfridges this week to have the full 'Clinique Experience'. Whilst I was looking forward to the visit, I didn't really expect to have a totally revolutionary experience or anything above and beyond the normal counter experience.
I was of course proven totally wrong. I was introduced to my consultant, Rhona, who has over 18 years experience of working on the Selfridges Clinique counter – so really knows her stuff. She started by explaining how the process would work, starting with me talking about my concerns and then she would examine my skin with a big scary magnifying mirror, before moving on to her recommendations.
Fairly straight forward on the surface, I didn't expect to be told anything surprising or revolutionary. But in reality, I came away really feeling I had learnt a lot.
My skin complaints are the lines under my eyes and the fact that my t-zone gets shiny through the day. My shiny t-zone has always made me think that I have oily skin but when Rhona had a closer look she surprised me by telling me that I actually have dehydrated skin. Rhona didn't just tell me that she thought my skin was dehydrated but actually showed me, by running a finger over my cheek and showing how small lines are formed and then made me run my finger over her skin to compare. Rhona also explained that there is a difference between dry skin and dehydrated skin.
Once my skin type and concerns were determined, we moved onto the product recommendations. Starting with the infamous 'Three Step System', she talked me through each product, why it was chosen and what it would do for my skin. I was given the choice between various formulations (bar of soap or liquid soap) based on my own preference.
Then Rhona moved on to products to specifically treat my skin issues. These included recommending 'moisture surge' creams, one for all over the face and one specifically for the eyes. This was another point where I felt I learnt something new. Rhona demonstrated how the moisture surge products should be used after the 'Dramatically Different Moisture Lotion'. I would never have thought to use a moisturiser to follow a moisturiser, but it does make sense one is a moisturiser and one is a 'treatment' for my skin issues. So there you go- learn a new thing every day.
I have to also mention how gorgeous the new counter is and huge. There is a distinct split between the skin care side and the cosmetic side, with one being more clean lines and clinical feeling and the other a little more decorative with white floral patterns on mirrors. The whole area is light and airy and generally a lovely place to be.
I also managed to bend Rhona's ear about foundation and concealer formulas that would be best for my skin type and issues, but I will come back to these in another post as this is getting kinda long.
I really think it is worth paying a visit to your local Clinique counter to have a chat with the counter consultants down there. They go through a lot of training and really know their stuff and will have seen all sorts of skin issues and will be able to impart their wisdom.
There really isn't any heavy sales push either, Rhona talked the through the six-eight products she suggested and broke them down into three 'tiers' from the basics to the the more pampering treatments that were less essential. I will be testing out the recommendations over the next couple of weeks and will blog again about the results.

The 15 Worst Anime Friends That Don't Deserve Anyone
List Rules Vote up the terrible anime friends who need to go live in the woods by themselves.
Friendship is a powerful theme in the world of anime - but that doesn't mean that every anime character is actually good at the whole friendship thing. In fact, there is an abundance of abysmally bad anime friends who deserve to be taken to task for their terrible behavior.
Who are the worst anime friends? Some of them have done such dramatically awful things that there's no possible way they can ever make up for them. Griffith from Berserk is a great example - he dramatically betrayed his friends by sacrificing most of them in exchange for god-like power. Other terrible anime friends may not have committed crimes against humanity, but are still guilty of interpersonal cruelty. Eriri Spencer Sawamura of Saekano: How To Raise A Boring Girlfriend might not have taken Tomoya Aki's life, but she sure did betray him by abandoning their friendship to preserve her reputation, then blamed him for causing her pain.
No matter what precisely they're guilty of, these anime friends are truly the worst.
Griffith is arguably one of the worst friends in anime history - in fact, he's a top contender for the worst friend in any piece of media ever. Griffith was a member of the Band of the Hawk before betraying them in a spectacular power grab. He got the opportunity to join the God Hand, and gain godlike power by transforming into Femto. To do this, he had to sacrifice his comrades' lives during the Fifth Eclipse. Not only does he do away with almost every single member of his former team, but he also assaults the band's only female member Casca, while mocking her lover Guts with his treatment of her. Both Casca and Guts were his friends. It is actually impossible to be a worse friend - or person than this.
Kyouji Shinkawa is one of the main villains of Sword Art Online II, so it stands to reason that he's not going to be particularly good at the whole friendship thing. He and his brother Shouichi are the forces behind Death Gun, a serial killer who targets players in Gun Gale Online both inside and outside of the game. While this is obviously egregious behavior, what's just as bad is his relationship with Sinon.
At first, Kyouji acts like a typically concerned friend. He's a little more protective of her than is strictly necessary but since Sinon is still emotionally fragile from a traumatic event, this is understandable. Unfortunately, Kyouji becomes romantically obsessed with Sinon and starts stalking her. Eventually, he breaks into her house with the intention of ending both of their lives and is only subdued with the help of Kirito.
In the end, he's arrested along with his brother - a well-deserved fate for a terrible friend and person.
Light Yagami cultivates relationships not for the sake of genuine human connection, but for strategic reasons. He forges romantic relationships with Misa and Takada so that he can use them to gain information or use them as bait. He does the same thing with his friendships, few though they are. One of the only people he actually considers a friend is L, the detective who is trying to nail him for being Kira. Though he does respect L, and actually appears to enjoy some of his interactions with him, his ultimate goal is ending his life. Essentially, Light will always prioritize his activities as Kira over anything resembling friendship, which makes him a pretty terrible friend.
Sae Kashiwagi ruins other peoples' lives like it's her job. Sae has made it her personal mission to ruin her "friend" Momo's reputation and steal her boyfriend. Sae uses Momo's tanned skin - which she obtained through swimming outdoors - as a reason to spread nasty and completely imaginary rumors about her personal life. This is apparently due to her personal insecurities. Later in the series, Sae changes her ways and becomes a true friend to Momo, but that doesn't change the fact that she was irredeemably sadistic and cruel.

London Beer People #2: Steve Taylor - Mother Kelly's Bottle Shop and Tap Room
Words & Photos - Matthew Curtis
The Craft Beer industry stops for no one. I conducted this interview in December 2014 and went back to take the photos in April this year. Shortly before I published this interview, Steve took up a position at Daisy Green Food where he will be looking after all things beer. The reins at Mother Kelly's have been placed in the capable hands of Assistant Manager Peter McCall. Despite this, I believe there's some wonderful insight in Steve's interview and so took the decision to publish it anyway.
In the few short months it's been open, Mother Kelly's has become a go to bar for both beer enthusiasts and casual, fun seeking drinkers alike. I've previously written at length about why this bar really clicks but not about the people that make it tick. Breweries are but a single piece of the intricate puzzle that makes up a beer scene and a bar is perhaps the best and most crucial part of that scene. It's here that you can sit and enjoy the fruits of a brewers labour. Good beer and time with friends is one of the greatest things you can have and the space you enjoy these things in is as important as those individual elements.
Steve Taylor is well known by many in the London Beer Scene, he's been the General Manager at Mother Kelly's beer and bottle shop since it opened. He was previously one half of The Mason and Taylor, a great bar on Bethnal Green Road that was eventually bought by Brewdog and transformed into their Shoreditch venue. His former colleague, Ed Mason, went on to set up The Five Points Brewing Company while Steve remained in hospitality and helped set up some of the best beer bars in London, including Mother Kelly's. Recently, I caught up with Steve for a chat about his bar and the London beer scene in general.
Hi Steve! So would you say Mother Kelly's is your baby?
I'd say Mother Kelly's became my baby about seven days before we opened. We've also got two sister pubs, The Queens Head in Kings Cross and Simon the Tanner in Borough.
Which bars inspired you when creating Mother Kelly's?
On a personal level the bars that have inspired me the most are those of the Leeds beer scene, not North Bar necessarily but bars like The Reliance, Mojo and Sandinista. The informal feel of the cocktail scene and the level of personal service made it the first good bar scene I enjoyed in the UK. The main influence for Mother Kelly's was a bar in New York, the name escapes me but it gave us ideas such as the wall of taps and the open fridges in a public space, things like that.
What vibe/feel did you hope you achieve when creating it?
We wanted to create an informality that puts people at ease and yet with an attention to detail that hopefully surpasses people's expectations. For the atmosphere overall, I would want the lighting to be right, the music to be right and for the staff to be engaging people.
Why do you think Mother Kelly's stands out from other pubs and bars?
I think it's still one of the few independent beer bars in London and I'm surprised to be saying that in 2015. I think people hopefully realise that when they come in and see us that it stands us apart. Having fridges in the customer space is the biggest wow factor when you walk in here. The way people react to being trusted with an open fridge is interesting. A lot of people go up to them and tentatively pull the doors, which for me is a really surprising situation to be in.
"On a personal level the bars that have inspired me the most are those of the Leeds beer scene"
How do you feel Mother Kelly's fits in with the Bethnal Green community?
I would say that we offer something different to what was here before. I feel that this is an area with some patronised but decent pubs with affordable food offerings like The Camel and The Globe. When you go further into Victoria Park village there are a lot more patronised local pubs with quality offerings and frankly, there are still good working class pubs here which I've welcomed. But I felt that there wasn't a specialist beer place nor was there a bottle shop so hopefully we'll be welcomed as offering something that wasn't here before we arrived.
As the stretch of six arches on Paradise Row goes, my expectations of the quality of my neighbours has been exceeded. When Sager and Wilde took on the arch next door and to have the varied offering of cocktails, restaurants, a wine bar and ourselves, I think gives people a real balance. It certainly wasn't conceived of by a higher power but it's how things came together.
What inspires your beer selection?
What's really inspiring is to know when things are going to be fresh and you can guarantee that they're going to be fresh. When you know something's arriving in the country and we can get our hands on it straight away. It's exciting for us to work with people who are delivering from brewery to bar with chilled transit the whole way. I like to stock new beers because people like new experiences but also I like to throw in some tried and trusted classics that hopefully might even surprise people… You could call it a 'new heavy' selection I suppose.
The bar's name comes from an old ragtime tune, was this intentional?
Yes, it felt like a name we couldn't pass up on the opportunity to pay homage to. It's a beautifully sincere song about a Jewish moneylender who lived on this street where we were opening a bar and this young girl who would sit on this moneylenders doorstep and reminisce about her lost loves.
Which beers could you not bear to not have in stock?
There are probably only about five… Siren Half Mast is one of the only sub 3% pale ales I've really enjoyed and we can only get in when it's in season. I do feel unsettled when we run out of Orval (I don't blame you - Ed.) Augustiner Helles makes people stay, so many people relate to that lager as their favourite and while there are so many newcomers to beer it's great to have that diversity. If someone wants to have a good lager and you give them Augustiner it surpasses their expectations every time.
I couldn't run the place without a gluten free and an alcohol free lager. When people come in and have given up on the idea of having a beer and to be able to offer them one is great and often these people haven't had a beer in years – it's just staggering the amount of pleasure that can give. It's funny, Tripel Karmeliet is the beer that people get most excited about more than any other when we have it on tap. I think beers from mainland Europe excite me the most because they can be tough to get hold of and it's exciting trying to find ways to get them here.
Which beers that you don't stock would you love to, even if it's something you couldn't get hold of?
Probably the Hill Farmstead sours? Part of me is happy that I can't get hold of them… It's absurd the idea that everything is purchasable even from small producers, I don't want everything to be purchasable. The beer scene needs something that's aspirational.
"The thing I'm most looking forward is more 'comfortable' places to drink beer in that aren't particularly male heavy."
Which local breweries really stand out for you?
Apart from Pressure Drop who brews our best selling beer, Pale Fire, I would say I'm looking forward to Bullfinch the most. Their red rye IPA really excited me and I'm looking forward to their draught beer becoming more honed and widely available. Can you write an article without mentioning the Kernel? They're still outstanding.
I've also got a lot of affection for Redchurch now that they've settled in and have developed a decent core range. When I entered hospitality about 10 years ago I stuck with it because the modesty of brewers was just so endearing. We've entered a slightly different period now where PR exists even in small breweries but someone like Redchurch who don't use PR in a traditional sense still appeals to me. They're just people that love doing what they do.
Where do you see the London beer scene in five years time?
I think we'll see a better availability of beer within the developing restaurant scene. I'm still surprised at how slowly restaurants have been to take beer seriously as something to pair with food. Back when Pete Brown wrote three sheets to the wind, Quilon and Le Gavroche were part of a very small number of restaurants that took beer seriously. I can't imagine a restaurant opening now that wouldn't use the phrase craft beer but I'm still waiting for them to take it seriously. This is something I'm looking forward to, when restaurants take real notice of it and have fun with it and pair dishes properly.
Production is going to have to move outside of London as people scale up but I can only imagine the scene getting more diverse. The hunger in London for diversity is enormous and I don't know what obscurities the history books are going to throw at us. I still don't think there's that many decent bars for people to go to where they can drink decent beer in London.
The thing I'm most looking forward is more 'comfortable' places to drink beer in that aren't particularly male heavy. I want to see more well designed spaces and a genuinely good bar culture developing in London. I want to see more bars though and not more pubs. I'm very wedded to pubs, they were the first place I went where I felt a sense of stability and community – I was that annoying kid that kept asking why things taste the way they do and no one could really give me an answer, which often frustrated me.
Where, bar Mother Kelly's is your favourite place to drink?
The Lower Red Lion, St. Albans – It's a pub where people of all ages go to drink and CAMRA was in fact convened only two streets away from there. That's where I started drinking.

Podcast #9 – "The Midnight Bullet"
By Eireann on Mar 5, 2013 in Blog, Podcasts
It was on this day in 1864 that the Dahlgren Papers were published.
I've mentioned the Dahlgren fiasco and its theorized repercussions here before, but it's a pretty engaging story to cover in more detail. Conspiracy, assassination, nefarious doings by men in power: It would make a great Hollywood thriller!

Last Minute Repairs
We have gone out riding a few times to refresh our skills and check out the bikes. On one of our rides we went to dinner to celebrate out 31st wedding anniversary.
We are using our Chatterbox radios for bike-to-bike communication. Beth's was working fine, but my transmissions were garbled. I adjusted the mounting of the microphone when I got home and it's working fine now.
On our next ride we saw a friend out walking, so we pulled up to say, "Hi!" We each attempted to use our horns, but all we got were squeaks. The heavy rain we rode through a couple of weeks ago got into the horns. (Yes, we skipped doing a pre-ride test.) I was able to drain the water out of Beth's horn and get it working, but mine would not cooperate. I pried it open and found more water and a bug. It smelled terrible. This is what the inside of a Harley horn looks like.
I couldn't get it working even after blowing it out, so I went to the dealer and bought a replacement. They are way over-priced.
Our house-sitter came and picked up the key and the friend who is going to take my dad shopping and to church is set with a pass to his condo gate. Now we just need to pack everything on the bikes and depart Saturday morning.

People all over the world are feeling for Miss Colombia after Steve Harvey, the host of the Miss Universe 2015 pageant,(we mean steve harvey) mistakingly declared her the the crown winner. Things got even more awkward when he passed the title to Miss Philippines, Pia Wurtzbach, who was forced to join Miss Colombia as the crown was taken away from her. Ouch.
There are no words to describe this cringe worthy moment from the 2015 Miss Universe pageant. Shortly after revealing that Miss America was the second runner up, Steve Harvey announced that the coveted Miss Universe title belonged to Miss Colombia 2015…. but a moment later he confessed to misreading his cue card. So awkward!
"I cherish every moment i can sit down and feed her. It's our private time together, and i really find it so relaxing. It makes me feel good to know that i can give her everything that her body needs, and i plan to do so until she's one year. And women must do what's right for their baby-which include bottle feeding ofcource,"
The holidays are all about being with your loved ones and cherishing the time you have with each other. And the Kardashians did just that, but Kourtney, 36, took things a step further by taking a snap with her son, Reign Disick, 11 months, to celebrate his first Thanksgiving. This way, she'll be able to relive that moment for years and years to come. So sweet!
He shared the photo on Instagram and wrote "Always dreamt about this moment! Rasaki just got himself a new whip! Blessings… Officially my first car.. Make we enter town today.. Congrats to him.
Think of James Bond for a moment or me lol seriously or me (pensive face). Quiet. Pensive. Confident. Mysterious. Do you think he was more of an extrovert or introvert? Introvert, of course. If Bond were to follow the common pick-up advice of today, he would have a lot of trouble attracting women. Can you imagine? Tossing out jokes, making a loud and gregarious show, centering himself as the life of the party… It feels a little off, doesn't it? That's because it's just not him. Instead, Bond is mysterious. Badass. Intriguing. Quietly confident. That combination is irresistible to women everywhere, apparently. Do you have to be James Bond to have the same genre of charm he has? Not at all. As long as you're an introvert, you can focus purely on bettering yourself in a way that feels good to you, and your nature will take care of the rest. Here are seven reasons why you, as an introverted man, are naturally attractive:
1. You are mysterious. You have a rich inner world, full of intriguing thoughts and feelings. Women who like you want to know what you're thinking, but they can't possibly know so easily. This sets up a playful, intense dynamic naturally.
2. You are easy to be around. By nature, you are chill and relaxed. You're not clamoring for attention, and you're a great listener. These qualities make you pleasant and appealing.
3. You have a fresh perspective on the world. Because you're not into passing fads but are attuned to a deeper reality, the way you see the world is often surprising and wonderful to others. You have a fresh sense of humor and quirky playfulness.
4. Your introspection makes you a wonderful partner. You have a habit of searching out where you're going right and where you're going wrong in life, so you can take responsibility and better yourself. When developed, this is incredibly earnest and trustworthy to a woman.
5. You are in tune with subtle chemistry nuances. This is so sexy. Your quiet depth puts you in close touch with your body, her body, and the environment in a way that gives you a special edge. Sometimes, just the slightest glance can make a woman melt, and your intuitive nature means you are especially primed to do that well.
6. You are intellectually stimulating. Intelligent women are energized by meaningful conversations with intelligent men. Because of your intellectually curious and exploratory nature, you know all kinds of different things to share with others.
7. You know yourself. As an inwardly oriented man, you know what you like and what you don't like. You know your values, your preferences, and what you want in life. This makes you sophisticated and trustable. Those are only seven reasons you are naturally attractive. There are many more about you specifically that you may not even know. For my clients, it is such a joy to learn themselves, to learn what is uniquely attractive about them. I encourage you to go hunt for those naturally attractive qualities in yourself. Recall meaningful compliments. Reflect on your accomplishments. Try to see yourself in each of the seven facets above. Then, go do whatever it takes to turn up the dial on your most attractive qualities so you can naturally attract extraordinary women and enjoy the hell out of the process.
A new beginning for the Nigerian music industry.

Because of range limitations imposed by speed and power supplies, covert launch and recovery of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) near the operating area will be required for their use in many military applications. This thesis documents the implementation of precision control and planning facilities on the Phoenix AUV that will be required to support recovery in a small tube and provides a preliminary study of issues involved with AUV recovery by submarines. Implementation involves the development of low-level behaviors for sonar and vehicle control, mid-level tactics for recovery planning, and a mission planning system for translating high-level goals into an executable mission. Sonar behaviors consist of modes for locating and tracking objects, while vehicle control behaviors provide the ability to drive to and maintain a position relative to a tracked object. Finally, a mission-planning system allowing graphical specification of mission objectives and recovery parameters is implemented. Results of underwater virtual world and in-water testing show that precise AUV control based on sonar data and its use by higher-level tactics to plan and control recovery. Additionally, the mission-planning expert system has been shown to reduce mission planning time by approximately two thirds and results in missions with fewer logical and programming errors than manually generated missions

Water Kefir
Babes I've been all about making water Kefir! I was hesitant at first but I'm telling you it is so so so easy. If your scratching your head and asking yourself, "What the hell is water kefir?" Never fear, I'm following this post up with all the details as to why should become kefir fanatic. In the meantime I'll leave you with this little nugget of information about exactly what it is……...
Water kefir is a fermented beverage teeming with beneficial bacteria, is remarkably simple to prepare and often more palatable than other probiotic tonics like kombucha and beet kvass. Water kefir, like kombucha, is first cultured by introducing a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeasts) into sugar water. The beneficial bacteria and yeasts present in the water kefir grains metabolize the sugar, turning it into an array of beneficial acids and infusing it with beneficial microorganisms, additional B vitamins as well as food enzymes.
I'v been dealing with all sorts of belly craziness and this delicious drink has become my go to beverage for a quick probiotic boost. I am telling you since I started drinking kefir I have had some major improvements with my digestion.
WARNING TMI SHARE!!!! Prior to introducing kefir into my diet I was beyond constipated. My inability to go to the bathroom on a regular basis was causing all sorts of fucking issues from cramping to bloating to literally just feeling super fucking toxic all of the time. After 3 weeks of daily kefir consumption and my constipation became a thing of the past. Needless to say I'm a kefir fanatic now!
Buying and drinking water kefir on the regular can get expensive but making it yourself is inexpensive and so so easy!
What You Need
1 32-34 Ounce Mason Jar
1/2 cup of Organic Water Kefir Grains
1/2 cup of Organic Coconut Sugar
1/2 Organic Lemon
Organic Raisins
Note: Water kefir grains can react with metals such as aluminum, so always use nonmetal or stainless steel strainers and other utensils.
The How To
To flourish, the bacteria and yeast you need un-chlorinated, un-fluoridated water and sugar. Since water kefir grains love minerals, the best water to use is clean, pure spring or well water. They also need minerals—and that means avoiding distilled water and, perhaps, giving them a little mineral supplementation. An unrefined sugar, a bit of molasses, or a little un-sulfured dried fruit will give your water kefir grains the minerals they need.
If you have only chlorinated water, boil it to allow chlorine to vaporize. Then let the water cool to room temperature before making water kefir.
- Bring about 6 cups of filtered water to a boil, then stir in the sugar. Continue stirring the sugar into the hot water until it dissolves, then allow it to cool to room temperature.
- Place the water kefir grains, raisins, lemon half, and sugar water into a mason jar. Cover the jar with cheesecloth to allow air circulation but to prevent stray debris from spoiling your water kefir. Kefir grains thrive when exposed to oxygen and seem to do slightly better when the lid is breathable (a cloth, paper towel, etc).
- Store the jar in a warm space out of direct sunlight and let ferment for 24-48 hours. The longer it ferments, the stronger the flavor will become. A side note: the cooler the temperature of storage the slower the fermentation process. If your house is on the cooler side you may want to extend the ferment your kefir longer then 48 hours but never ever exceed 72 hours. (If left longer than 72 hours, the grains may starve and disintegrate.) As it ferments, the water will turn cloudy and slightly bubbly, and it will start to taste less sweet than the original sugar water.
- When the water kefir acquires a flavor that suits you, strain it through a nonreactive (plastic, wood or stainless steel) strainer into a pitcher. Throw out the lemon and raisins, but reserve the water kefir grains which must be immediately recultured or put to sleep. To reculture your grains so they do not starve simply repeat steps 1-4.
While water kefir can be enjoyed as is, you can add flavoring and increase overall fizziness by doing a secondary fermentation.
For the secondary fermentation, pour either ¼ cup fruit juice of your choice or 1 tablespoon organic cane sugar into a grolsch bottle. Then pour kefir into the bottles, leaving at least 1 inch of space between liquid and bottle opening. Seal the bottles, and set them on your countertop to ferment a further 24 48 hours. Transfer the bottles of water kefir to the fridge for 3 days to allow the bubbles to set. Open carefully over a sink, as the liquid in the bottle is under pressure, and when you release the bottle's seal, the water kefir may fizz and foam. Note: I recommend that you burp your bottle once per day to release the pressure. (To "burp", just slowly open the container to release the gas and then reseal.)
Like a needy boyfriend water kefir grains demand steady attention. Don't be alarmed by their neediness because once you get the hang of it, maintaining the grains becomes an easy part of your regular routine. If you need to go away on vaca or you just flat out need a break because you can't consume all the kefir you've made fast enough you can always put your grains to sleep...........
Night Night Kefir Grains
- Add water kefir grains to 1 quart fresh sugar water (¼ cup sugar dissolved in 1 quart water).
- Put a tight lid on the container and place in the refrigerator (when storing the grains, if possible the sugar water should be changed out each week). The water kefir grains should be safe and healthy for up to 3 weeks.
- When ready to make water kefir again, separate the grains from the storage liquid, place in fresh sugar water, and culture as usual. It may take a couple of batches for the grains to wake up and get back to work.

My friend Kira Corser, an artist, teacher, painter, speaker and lover of the ocean, planned an event today at the museum near the Monterey Wharf.
It was all about her passion: saving the oceans by way of using the arts.
My super supervisor, Paulette Lynch, articulated how the Arts Council for Monterey County uses Arts as the answer to societies problems: all of them. She brought home the fact that saving the oceans and other societal woes are now our children's problems and the Arts Council holds art classes in various parts of the Monterey County, to answer some of those issues. What the children learn, is taken home to educate parents and younger siblings. There are classes in drama, dance, music and writing, that engages children from improvised neighborhoods and affluent ones, as well.
And Ellen Martin, the executive director of First Night spoke passionately about how the organization First Night involves children in arts that teach the importance of saving the ocean. Her many projects uses plastic bottles and plastic bags and tops of bottles and lots of other trash items to create beautiful objects that reflect marine life. Children learn about saving the oceans as they construct the objects, she said.
There were two other speakers, who were on the side of science and they expressed their agreement that arts and science needs to support one another, and there are many ways that is accomplished.
One example one scientist used was to use humor to teach folks how not to get close to marine animals. Instead of the usual legal and unfriendly signage that is more often used to keep people away from marine life, the picture was an artistic showing of a mans legs coming out from under a marine animal with the sign: don't let this happen to you. It teaches the danger in a humorous way, and encourages folks to respect animal life. The real lesson here, however, was to demonstrate how artists and scientists work together for a common goal.

My system is the Asus Strix X99 MB, Bios 1504, I7-6800k, W10, Samsung 960 m.2 1TB Boot Drive, Corsair Dominator Platinum 3200MHz, EVGA GTX 970, and Corsair H100i v2. I load optimized bios defaults and ensure XMP is enabled. I noticed in the bios there are options to oc gaming presets for various Broadwell-E cores. For my CPU I chose the 6 core gaming preset. After a bunch of restarts, the oc fails. I've looked cursory at the bios settings for the 6 core preset and it changes a number of the settings (e.g. voltages) beyond the multiplier.
I've previously used the AI Suite III to achieve 4.5GHz oc so don't think it's my system as to why this preset oc fails. Since it's a standard preset, I would have expected it to work. Any ideas? Anyone have experience with these presets?

The link in the first post is the most important...
Not every system is the same, the best way to achieve a stable OC is to do it manually...*

Her story
Sharon was taking a bubble bath on Valentine's Day when she felt the lump.
"I feel like it's a miracle I found it on my own," she said. "I was just poking around."
Then in her 40s, she said she felt alone.
"I didn't know anybody my age who had had breast cancer," she said.
Sharon said she read a lot, used resources provided by the American Cancer Society and relied on family and friends to get her through.
"(The ACS) has those same programs here," she said.
Today, she's a 16-year survivor who volunteers for the Amarillo Area Breast Health Coalition, and often speaks of her experience to give others hope.
"I'm not going to let breast cancer define who I am, but I'm going to make it a part of who I am," she said.
Her advice
Perform breast self-exams. Get mammograms. Have an annual checkup with your doctor. "It's not a multiple choice thing," she said. "It's all of the above."

Good fitness starts with good posture. The best way to improve your posture is to focus on exercises that strengthen your core — the abdominal and low back muscles that connect to your spine and pelvis.
Some of these muscles move your torso by flexing, extending, or rotating your spine. Others stabilize your pelvis and spine in a natural, neutral position. The following posture exercises and stretches target your entire core with slow, controlled movements to get the most out of them. Make these posture-boosting exercises a regular part of your routine. Remember to exhale strongly and pull in your core muscles as you work — a key principle in both Pilates and yoga.

The full-length trailer for Preacher season 2 is now online, teasing Jesse's crazy road trip (to find God) to come. Based on the comic books of the same name written by Garth Ennis and illustrated by Steve Dillon, AMC's Preacher series was developed by Breaking Bad royalty Sam Catlin, along with Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg of Superbad, This Is the End and Sausage Party infamy.
Judging by both the Preacher season 2 teaser and trailer alike, Preacher appears to be heading in a new direction this next season, offering plenty of crazy action and locations along the way. Heading into the new series of episodes on AMC, Preacher will soon see small-town preacher Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper), his gun-toting ex-girlfriend Tulip O'Hare (Ruth Negga), and undead Irish playboy Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun) embarking on a supernatural road trip sure to feature plenty of demons and angels alike - and the latest trailer promises more of just that.
As said Preacher season 2 trailer illustrates, Jesse, Tulip and Cassidy will soon find themselves "on a mayhem-filled road trip to find God - but Hell is coming after them." Offering plenty of explosions, close encounters with local law enforcement, and wry wit and good humor, Catlin, Rogen, and Goldberg seem to be having as good a time as ever adapting the original comic book series for television.
Garnering largely positive reviews over the course of its first season, Preacher is quickly earning its salt as a premiere original program on AMC to match the likes of contemporaries such as The Walking Dead. Only time will tell whether or not Catlin, Rogen, and Goldberg will manage to keep the show on track heading into season two, but with any luck viewers who tuned in for the first season will want to see where the program is headed next.
AMC is doing its own part to ensure that interest in and awareness of Preacher season 2 remains high. In addition to the trailers, the network has released multiple Preacher character posters, teasing such key season 2 players as Eugene "Arseface" Root (Ian Colletti) - returning from season 1 - and the new season's big baddie himself, aka. The Saint of Killers (played by Graham McTavish of The Hobbit movie trilogy and Outlander the TV series fame), along with the show's returning main crew of hell-raising (anti)heroes.

Preacher season 2 premieres June 25 on AMC at 10 pm EST.

With the weather being so nice we decided to take our dog, Sugar, down to the meadow to go for a run. She made a bee-line for the water and jumped right in like she had done it a million times. It was fun to see her swim all over the lake and explore all the sticks and rocks and chase the birds and turtles.
Saturday Canning Class
Saturday we attended a "Canning Class" held at one of the local Cowboy churches. In the morning we learned how to properly store foods using buckets and Mylar bags. KETK was there to film our class. I think she learned as much as we did.
After that we learned how to "Dry Can" dry goods using the oven and canning jars. This process works great for dry goods such as flours, cake mixes, corn meal, rice, and such.
After the dry canning demonstration we learned all the different ways to utilize a vacuum sealer to seal canning jars and items in vacuum bags. Vacuum sealing also works great to seal first aid, band-aids, toilet paper, diapers, matches, etc., for camping and survival kits to keep your items dry.
The next demonstration was how to make homemade laundry soap and all-natural deodorant. I can't wait to try these out. I'll post my results when I decide to try these.
We then learned how to can figs and properly prepare them for canning using the water bath technique. After the figs we learned how to can prepare and can cherry jelly using the inversion method to create the seal and preserve it. It was yummy!
Whew! It was one busy morning full of learning new things. We even had two ladies go over techniques for saving money using coupons! That was one I knew all about as I used to be an extreme couponer. 🙂 It was nice for a while, but I am trying to rid my home of toxins and items that are not all-natural or organic. Unfortunately about 90% of what you buy using coupons is not on my buy list anymore, so I gave up couponing.
After lunch we had a barter event. No money was exchanged, it was only item for item. It was a learning experience in learning to trade for what we wanted. Even Stormy got into it and made some good trades for several items she wanted. I got some good items also. We are looking forward to next month's event as we will be learning about gardening, having a seed swap, learning to can meats, and doing more bartering.
Hoping you all have a great and blessed week!
Till next time,
Rachele T.

I went for a ride this morning, and it was raining. I stayed in the garage for like, ten minutes, trying to see if the rain was going to let up. But it didn't.
|This is the start of the first ride. I am no wet yet, so I was grumpy.
So I went for a ride anyway, and the first mile was rough, but then once I got totally soaked, the rest of the ride was like being thirteen again, and being in a water gun fight.
I have always really liked water gun fights.
One thing though: The potholes fill up with water, so that you don't really recognize them as potholes, and then when you smash into them, you get a bone-jarring shock and an explosion of water and pieces of worms.
It is especially bad on East River Road just south of the Franklin Ave. bridge. After riding through that section of road in the rain, I kind of feel I know what Vietnam must have been like.
When I got back from the ride, Steph and the kids were ready to go to an Easter egg hunt in Sibley park, about three miles away. Since we do not have a car, we were going to ride our bikes there.
Here is an important point: It was still raining pretty hard.
So I got some dry clothes on, and got ready to go out into the wet again.
I tried on some black pants first, but then put them back because they make my legs look like stovepipes, and I can't figure out what kind of shoes go best with stovepipe legs.
Instead, I wore tan pants. "Chinos" is what they are technically called, which is a name that seems mildy racist. Sometimes they are also called "khaki's", which is a name that sounds like you have a cold. I call them "tan pants"
After two minutes outside the pants were soaked and dark brown. Steph noticed.
"Bill", she said. "You should have stuck with the black pants." Steph has black tights on. Her legs do not look like stovepipes. They look lithe and graceful. I do not try and explain the whole stovepipe thing. Instead, I nod my head and smile. "You are right" I say, "The black pants would not show the wet."
Steph looks at me again. I am wearing a blue plaid shirt, with a fancy puffy vest I got from Target. Before I got wet, I thought I looked cool, like Marty McFly in the first Back to the Future, except with a black vest. Now my hair is pressed down onto my forehead and little rivulets of water are running down my collar. But in my mind, I am still pretty cool.
|I am a handsome, handsome man. My mom tells me
"I am surprised you don't have a rain jacket" Steph says.
I do have a rain jacket. I just lost it a couple of years ago, and I have not bought another one, because; 1) I am still a little embarrassed about losing the jacket, and I figure if I do not buy another jacket, I haven't really lost it, I have just misplaced it; and 2) because rain jackets keep your torso dry, but they dump all of the water onto your pants. So with a rain jacket, you end up with a dry torso, but doubly wet pants, whereas, if you do not use a rain jacket, you are uniformly wet all over; and 3) rain jackets are expensive, and I am cheap.
Steph's rain jacket is bright green, like her bike. Grant's rain jacket is blue, and Darcy's rain jacket has little flowers all over it. My rain jacket is red. If you see it, let me know.
|This was not the van that splashed us. But it was like this van. except wetter, and covered in worm parts.
About two miles into the ride a panel van smashes into a lake in the middle of the road and waterfalls a plume of dirty water and worm parts onto Steph and I.
This can go two ways.
It goes the good way. Steph laughs out loud at the water fall, the biggest laugh I have heard her give in a while.
"Did that get you?" Steph asks, "Did that get you!?!" I peel a worm belly from my forehead. "No" I say, "It just missed me."
Good News: Worm bellies are kind of tan, so it blends in pretty well with my pants. If I had worn my black pants, the worm bellies would have stood out. People would stare.
|This is just shortly after the panel van doused us in dirty water and worm bellies.
After we got to the Easter Egg hunt, the rain stopped.
And it turned out we read the invite wrong, and we ended up being about two hours early. So if we had waited a bit, we could have ridden the whole way in the warm summer sun. We could have avoided the potholes, and the lakes in the middle of the road, and the worm parts.
Or, if I think about it a little bit, if we hadn't gotten rid of our car we could have remained completely dry even if it was raining. And we would not even notice lakes in the middle of the road, or panel vans.
Sure glad that didn't happen.
|Here is Darcy with a chick on her cheek.

Ricky Pellow insists excitement is building inside the Exeter Chiefs camp ahead of Sunday's Anglo-Welsh Cup final against Bath at Kingsholm (3pm).
Victory over an in-form Newcastle Falcons outfit last Sunday saw the Devonians march into a fourth successive final appearance in the competition – and Pellow is keen for his side to now finish the job against their nearest and dearest.
Triumphant on home soil in 2014 against Northampton Saints, the Chiefs have subsequently come unstuck against Saracens and Leicester Tigers in the past two finals.
It's a statistic Pellow and his players are keen to address – with the Cornish coach insisting key lessons have been learnt from past experiences.
"We've been building nicely all week, not just the players who will be involved at the weekend, but also the non 23 have played their part as well," said Pellow. "It's another big occasion for the club, but one in which we know we have a job to do.
"Sunday will be our fourth final in a row in this competition, yet we've only won the competition once before. We've talked this week about learning from the past and now we'll go to Gloucester and look to rip the game away from Bath."
Buoyed by last weekend's 20-17 victory over a strong Falcons outfit, the Chiefs will stick with a largely unchanged squad for Sunday's showdown.
"If you look back to last Sunday, we were 17-7 down at half time and had it all to do," continued Pellow. "In the past we may have been guilty of trying to over complicate things and force the game, but the pleasing thing for us as coaches was that the guys stuck to task and they didn't panic.
"Emotionally, physically, they went about their job really well. We've talked a lot this week about just doing the same again this week against Bath. We know we have a game plan that can beat Bath, it's just down to us to stick to it."
Standing in the way of the Chiefs, however, will be Todd Blackadder's side, who themselves are desperate to land their first piece of silverware in ten years. Like the Chiefs, they endured a hard-fought semi-final victory over Northampton, and they will be looking to pick off their Westcountry rivals in what should be a mouth-watering encounter.
"At this stage we're not sure what sort of side Bath are going to put out, but whoever they select we know it's going to be a tough side," warned Pellow. "Whenever we have played them over the years, the games have always been hum-dingers. They've been us, we've beaten them, so I'm sure it's going to be another close game.
"What will be the difference come the end is which side can deal with the pressure the best. We're fortunate we've got a lot of good, experienced guys in our side, but if we are to win the game, it's going to be the younger players who really need to step up. If they take a second to settle or look to see what is in front of them – or they are quiet and not talking – that can be the difference on the day. They need to be the glue which brings it all together for us."
But as Pellow eluded to in this week's media briefing, the Chiefs do have plenty of proven experience to call upon. Up front, international props Moray Low and Greg Holmes were the cornerstones of an outstanding scrummaging display against the Falcons, while behind there is the likes of Dave Dennis, Matt Kvesic, Julian Salvi and Kai Horstmann to call upon.
No.8 Horstmann is promoted back into the starting line-up for Sunday's game and he will have the honour of skippering the Chiefs on this his 100th appearance for the club.
Behind the Exeter eight, the Chiefs go with a new-look half-back pairing of Will Chudley and Gareth Steenson, while the only other change sees Tom Hendrickson come into the midfield alongside former Bath favourite Ollie Devoto.
Pellow admits he likes the make-up of his side, which includes the experienced Horstmann, who is set to bring the curtain down on his professional career at the end of the current campaign.
"Kai will lead the side," said Pellow. "He's coming in for a reason. Not only does he lead from the front on the pitch, but off the field he is just as good. The players all have a lot of respect for him, as they do for the likes of Julian Salvi and Dave Dennis. Having those kind of on-field leaders is huge for us and will be key come the weekend."

Black Panther: A Celebration of Black Excellence
Originally posted on LoveJasPR.com February 25, 2018. Edited and republished for LoveJasMedia.com.
I'm not a comic book fan. I can't speak on the storyline weaving into the Marvel Comic Universe and I can't speak on the accuracy of the characters, but I'm a movie fan and an African American woman that can speak on the themes of love, identity, and the much needed call for a celebration of black excellence.
First, let's shout out the black community for our internal marketing efforts. I'm convinced black people invested more in the promotion of Black Panther than both Marvel and Disney - from the talk about what to wear to the viewing, memes, dance videos at theaters, we did our THANG promoting and encouraging others to celebrate this moment of blackness. Black Panther made $212 million in North America in the four day opening weekend, the highest-grossing film by a black director in history. Congrats, Coogler! Black Pantherhas been deemed one of the most important Marvel movies and a Marvel Masterpiece. But black films don't make money? Psshh.
Let's get into it by reflecting on the internal battles of two black men, T'Challa/ Black Panther and Erik Killmonger. T'Challa/ Black Panther, full of pride and love must learn how to lead a country and set his emotions aside to lead a country after he learns his father has betrayed his own brother and abandoned his nephew. It must be noted that T'Challa's father, T'Chaka, told him that it's hard being a king when you're a good person, which is sure to have been an internal conflict when he killed his own brother for the safety and love of his country. His conflict with the love and commitment to brotherhood shines throughout the film, choosing not to kill his cousin, Erik Killmonger, after his threats of exploiting Wakanda.
Erik Killmonger faces an identity issue that often reflects the reality of African Americans lacking connection to the motherland. In the film, Killmonger battled with the Wakadian ecosystem of resources and its internal love and loyalty versus what minorities across the world have access to, a sad reality of black Americans and people of color across the world. Killmonger's approach caused conflict instead of creating a bridge between Africans and African Americans, similar to that of some of our civil rights leaders. It challenged Africans and African Americans to take a deeper look at self and our approach to building a community inclusive of all in the diaspora.
The complexity of love reigns supreme throughout the film. The love of country, the love of tribe, a mother's love, and black love are all sub-points to the overarching theme of love that a lot of African Americans struggle with (a topic for another day). It was beautiful to see black love throughout the film, love of natural hair, representation of darker skin tones, and love of each other.
"Show them who you are!" exclaims Angela Bassett's character of Queen Ramonda. A mother's love always shines bright and throughout the film, Queen Ramonda exemplified the importance of motherhood in the black community. Black women, whether a mother by birth or by duty, is the rock and soul of a society.
We can't forget the commitment to country. Even though M'Baku was from a tribe who historically chose to separate itself, his commitment to his country brother, saving T'Challa's life for the love of mankind speaks volumes showing that it's not always about what is best for the individual but the community as a whole.
The overwhelming love in this film segways naturally into the loyalty, love, and femininity of Okoye, who is by far my favorite example black womanhood. Her powerful introduction as the General of the Dora Milaje and the head of Wakandas all female armed forces juxtaposition against her softness during war, fighting against her love shows the complexity of black women. In our complexity, we are committed to our purpose and work, but have a tender spot for what matters and speaks to our heart.
Lastly, can we talk about the diversity amongst black folk in this film? The critics and naysayers say there is no diversity. It is an all black cast and that rejects the call for diversity within the entertainment industry, they say. Besides the three white characters, we have black people represented across the entire Pan-African diaspora. Chadwick Boseman, Michael B Jordan, Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker, and Sterling K Brown are American, Danai Gurira is American with roots from Zimbabwe, Winston Duke is from Trinidad and Tobago, Lupita Nyong'o is Kenyan-Mexican, Daniel Kaluuya is from London, and Letitia Wright is Guyanese to name a few ways this cast is diverse in all of its perfect blackness. The black cast in itself has different histories, experiences, and stories to tell that reflect their own black identity. We are not a monolithic race.
All in all, audiences want representation and look for content that mirror their diverse identities and stories. Black Panther was one of the first's to see success with representation, let's see what's next!
With Love,

The Chevrolet SS sport sedan may live to see a second generation if some folks at General Motors have their way.
It has been widely expected that the demise of GM's Holden manufacturing operations in Australia would mark the end of the rebadged Commodore, but an interview with GM's Al Oppenheiser by caradvice.au seems to indicate that there may yet be hope for the nameplate's future.
When asked point-blank by the caradvice.au correspondent whether a replacement was coming along that could take over where the Zeta-platform SS leaves off, Oppenheiser said, "[m]aybe."
Essentially, the SS has two things going for it. For one, it is meeting GM's meager sales expectations, meaning that while it doesn't sell in any meaningful volumes, in Oppenheiser's own words, "[i]t sells what it's supposed to."
Secondly, the sedan may have a significant proponent in GM's Mark Reuss. Reuss, currently in charge of global product development, was previously the managing director of Holden. When the product planner has a soft spot for specialty cars, that can be good news for enthusiasts.
Nothing is guaranteed of course, and Oppenheiser stopped well short of promising anything. For now, the SS soldiers on in its current form as a 2017 model. What happens after that is anybody's guess.
