Arts "Gonna Stop Smoke Today"
posted by October 1 at 11:54 AMon
Well, Frizzelle, I think I've found your Alaskan man of letters, a latter-day Robert Service who wrote a couple of poems during a standoff with the police:
Poem number one:
Boy I could use a smoke.
"Scarey" very noise bullets.
Fucking scrary.
My, my maybe
the holy father
would help
wish someone would
pray for me
And the story, from a friend who works as a detective up there:
The guy, who was in his 50s and has no criminal history, just went nuts. The day before he flipped he used a backhoe to tear up his son's septic system because he was mad at his son. Then the next day he grabbed a bunch of his guns, went to a Texaco, and had a standoff with cops for hours. At one point he yelled "I'm coming out" and came out with two guns on his shoulders and two small vases in his hands with a flower in each vase. He walks out half way to the nearest SWAT team cop and says "these are for you," puts the vases down, then goes back to his hideout spot.
Eventually the cops tricked him with cigarettes
Poem number two:
Out a cigs
shit o dear
"He expects me to walk down and get some."
Shit o dear NO WAY
shit o dear
gonna stop smoke today
And more from the cop:
He came out and they tazed him.
At arraignment he told the judge his name wasn't his name on the charging documents because "that name is all in capitol letters, and all caps is reserved for DEAD PEOPLE."
And yesterday, from jail, he wrote a very polite and lucid letter to me asking to have his guns returned ASAP because he needs them.
I bet he needs them.

Hi. I got a problem: I'm using the TX16wX in garage band (Mac) and when I drag a file (wav., aiff, or what ever) into the wave editor of the plug-in, there is a error message. Its saying: -Unsupported format. But thats weird because there is some sounds that I can drag and drop without problem but for some reasons, this one doesn't work!! I don't understand please [color=#0040FF]help[/color] me

It means pretty much what it says. My guess is that the files you are trying to load are either damaged in some way that TX does not handle, or uses a codec that is not handled.
If you provide a few of the failing files I can look at them and give a better answer, and if its a TX error, maybe a fix.

Or, more likely, its using an unsupported encoding, such as mp3/mp4. Most youtube rippers will get audio as either AAC, mp4a or mp3. Neither is a supported format. Make sure the wave file is a PCM wav or AIFF.

There are some programs that use the filename extension ".wav" even though the files they read/write are not actually in standard .wav format and can't be opened in other programs. If I recall correctly, Toontrack is an example. If I found a Youtube ripper that did this, I wouldn't want to use it.

don't take them. the pills mess up your hormones and could cause breast cancer later in life. Why should you have to risk your health for what other people find attractive? Natural breasts are better and healthier.
Chillax. You don't need breast enlargement pills. You're 14 which means you're just developing, just like the rest of the girls your age. You'll get them in fully by 18 and you need to learn to love your body rather than take pills to make them grow. I mean that's just stupid. Buying medication to make your boobs twice the size you are?

Your back will start to ache, slowly growing into agony and then you would need a breast reduction, which you may not be able to afford so, you're stuck with an aching back every day until you can afford one which you wouldn't be until you can get an actual job with good pay. Cosmetic surgery results vary and there have even been reports of people getting it done and it gets infected and some even have to cut off their breasts completely.

You don't want it. You should never get it. You need to wait, like every other woman has.
Okay? What where you expecting from that..for me to change my answer? You need to stop making excuses to be okay with it. You know that you're very insecure inside and I think you need to talk with your parents or a teacher or even the school counselor about your insecurities and about how you feel on breast enlargements. That's not alright for a 15 year old to think that way, at all, no matter the circumstance. You don't need large breasts to impress people or make yourself feel good, believe me.
Why would any woman...... other than disfigured by accident..... want to change what God created as perfect?
Um. avoid taking them if possible. Baring that. Consider a bra that has a waist strap for extra support when you're in your 40s.

"Over the last 3 years of Landmark Hospitality's relationship with Alexandria Brown & ADC Accounting, our company has doubled in size. As we move forward to double in size yet again, we are confident in ADC's ability to continue to furnish us with the daily, weekly, and monthly reports that are the life blood of our organization's financial health.
When a company grows, it's been my experience that an in-house accounting team gets pulled in many directions and timely reporting always has a valid excuse to be late. With ADC, there are no excuses- just results.
The ADC Team is always available and willing to customize reports that enable you to drill down on data and improve performance. ADC is truly one of our secrets to success."

"Opening a business in the current economic climate may seem crazy to some. To us it was certainly a challenge but, not enough to keep us from seeing the big picture. So, after we began work to open our restaurant, we soon realized we'd need to have a close eye on the books. It was evident just before opening weekend that we needed to contact ADC Accounting to make sure we got off on the right foot. The restaurant business is tough enough, so having piece of mind knowing our financial reports, taxes, payroll, and accounts payable are being handled makes my job much less stressful. We owe that all to our relationship with ADC Accounting!"

"From the very first meeting with Alexandria, we were immediately at ease. We had just escaped a very unacceptable situation with our previous accountant. This not only led to a large financial burden but also brought upon great anxiety. Alexandria and her staff were very tenacious in her information gathering which is just what we needed. We are getting ourselves back on track and we owe all of that to Alexandria! I would highly recommend ADC to anyone, without any reservation. We cannot thank her enough for what she has done for us!"

"Let's face it. Most contractors don't get into business to do bookkeeping. If you are anything like me you dread it and are constantly leaving it until the last minute when the pressure is on.
Working with ADC Accounting has been such a relief. It's comforting to know I have found someone I can trust. I am more relaxed knowing that all of my bookkeeping, payroll and accounting details are being handled efficiently, on time and correctly.
Since hiring ADC I have found that I have more time to do what I do best which is managing my jobs, acquiring new jobs and hands on work. I highly recommend ADC Accounting to anyone serious about their business!"

How to choose the right web hosting plan for your website
There are many factors involved in choosing the right web hosting plan for your new website. The trick is to weight the cost against the features provided. Of course it is easy to get the cheapest price web hosting plan with a XYZ company. But this plan does not have SQL or PHP functions, it has limited traffic bandwidth etc. So, really it depends on what your web site needs are. To select a good web hosting plan, I recommend that at least the following features are included:
1. Big traffic bandwidth.
2. Supports SQL and PHP.
3. Supports sub domains.
4. Cpanel for easy control.
5. At least 5000Mb storage space.
6. Auto responders.
7. POP email accounts.
8. FTP accounts
9. Backup support Then from all these features, select the price that is within your budget. Some hosting providers charge a one time setup fee, and some charge less if you pay one year fees in advance. Also look out for incentives like free domain names provided, this is a powerful draw which is quite common nowadays. If you are planning to host multiple web sites, you need to ch

National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale has made claims of an impending plot to rig 2017 general elections by the opposition.
The lawmaker on Sunday accused Raila Odinga of meddling with the operations of the electoral commission.

Accompanied by other Jubilee Party lawmakers, Duale said that Raila Odinga was sensing defeat in the upcoming elections for making rigging allegations against the ruling party.
"Even before IEBC starts preparations for the elections, Odinga has started talking about rigging of elections," Duale said.
He went on to mockingly ask the former Prime Minister if he wanted to work with the commission.
"We are asking him to tell us if he wants to run IEBC or run for elections."
Duale also alleged that the opposition was working with foreign powers, specifically one Michael Yard, an American-Canadian. He claimed they are planning to rig the 2017 general elections with the use of advanced technology.

Speaking at a press conference at the Jubilee headquarters in Pangani, the Garissa Township legislator said:
"We are aware that this same Michael Yard is the chief of International Foundation System. He was in the country during the 2013 elections and he has come again. He is not a staff of the IEBC and we are asking what is his role?
"We have written to the IEBC that we do not want to see this Yard anywhere near its premises or even in any business they conduct."
The opposition is insisting on the use of technology to conduct the elections, which Jubilee do not agree with. They want the manual bio-metric voter recognition.

"We are not giving IEBC a blanket cheque. We are only saying that the manual system should be used only if the deployed technology fails. If it works in the 47 counties, no problem," said Duale.

Following the transaction, the chief executive officer now directly owns 394,406 shares of the company's stock, valued at $14,391,874.94. Jacobus Wealth Management Inc. acquired a new position in Intel during the third quarter valued at about $119,000.
Intel's next biggest deal was widely viewed as a disappointment: the $7.68 billion acquisition of cybersecurity-software company McAfee in 2010.
"After signing this agreement, Mobileye further stated that the company will not be supplying Tesla's technologies more advanced than its EyeQ 3 chips", Trendforce said in its report. Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Holdings Inc. increased its position in Intel by 0.6% in the third quarter. Institutional investors own 65.90% of the company's stock.
Shares of Intel Co.
We all know Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) as the reigning computer chip giant because for the longest time computer makers have been using nothing but Intel chips and processors. The stock has a 50-day moving average of $36.22 and a 200 day moving average of $36.15.
Mobileye used to be one of Tesla's vision systems suppliers, until that tragic accident past year which claimed the life of a Tesla Model S driver operating the vehicle under Tesla's Autopilot feature.
According to Zacks brokerage recommendations, Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC)'s Buy count is 1 and Strong Buy is 17 while the number of analysts recommending Sell and Strong Sell are 0 and 8, respectively. The difference between the expected and actual EPS was $0.04/share, which represents an Earnings surprise of 5.3%. Canaccord concedes Intel shares generate a strong yield and remain cheap, but it believes shares could remain range bound as margins stagnate and until investors see proof that new investments in 10/7nm, IoT, memory and now automotive are capable of generating strong returns within a reasonable time horizon.
The company's worth has been estimated at $10.5 billion, up 85 percent from when it went public in July 2016. This market, which last year amounted to $350 billion, has been undergoing an accelerating process of mergers and acquisitions of huge financial proportions in recent years.
The deal brings Intel in direct competition with Nvidia and Qualcomm. Year to Date performance value (YTD perf) value is -2.31%.
The business also recently announced a quarterly dividend, which was paid on Wednesday, March 1st. Current ratio which is the relationship between current assets and current liabilities, indicating the liquidity of a business is calculated as 1.00.
This news story was originally published by [[site]] and is the sole property of of [[site]]. If you are reading this story on another publication, it was stolen and republished in violation of USA and worldwide trademark and copyright legislation. They issued a "buy" rating and a $40.00 price target for the company. Deutsche Bank AG reissued a buy rating and set a $47.00 price target on shares of Intel in a research report on Tuesday, January 24th. Finally, Instinet reissued a "buy" rating and issued a $35.50 price target on shares of Intel in a research note on Tuesday, November 29th. Credit Suisse Group AG's target price suggests a potential downside of 0.48% from the stock's current price. The stock was sold at an average price of $36.49, for a total transaction of $2,884,570.99. The transaction was disclosed in a legal filing with the SEC, which can be accessed through the SEC website. The disclosure for this sale can be found here. During the same quarter previous year, the business posted $0.74 earnings per share. This category includes, among other things, data processors for engine computers and other electronic auto systems, power management systems, memory components, and the rapidly developing sector of smart vehicle sensors in which Mobileye operates. The CCG operating segment includes platforms that integrates in notebook, two in one systems, desktop computers for consumers and businesses, tablets, and phones.

|Sonic Advance 3 (prototype)

|ROM size: 16 MB
|Genre: 2D Platform
Sonic Advance 3 was meant to be released in June of 2004, but this European prototype was released on March 21st, months before the planned release date. Initially it was dumped on the 16th and distributed among a select few. It's not often a Sega beta is leaked to the public before the games launch date and is a big blunder on Sega's part. The game is near completion but has many bugs, and was in the final bug testing phase. The levels are mostly finished, and you can play any level from startup. Super Sonic is also active and fully functional.
TheRedEye, Owner of Lostlevels.org, almost lost his job due to the leak of this prototype.[1] Once the real leaker was discovered, another German magazine employee, his name was cleared and he kept his job.

Mumbai: Mobile on silent mode leads cops to bike thieves
Cops were able to track down two people involved in stealing two-wheelers thanks to the complainant, who had kept the phone in his scooter to avoid being disturbed while visiting a sex worker
The police can get leads or clues for investigation from unexpected quarters. The DB Marg police were recently able to track down two people involved in stealing two-wheelers thanks to the complainant, who had left his mobile phone on silent mode in his scooter's glove compartment, while visiting a sex worker. The police only had to locate the mobile phone to find his scooter. This led them to a total of 18 two-wheelers the duo had stolen.

The police arrested Byculla resident Imran Hafiz Ansari (34), an employee of a Goregaon-based firm, and Mira Road resident Khijar Nadir Sayyed (24), who runs a garage in Byculla, on January 20 for stealing 18 two-wheelers from Mira Road, Bhiwandi, Vikhroli and Goregaon areas.
The police with the arrested accused, Ansari and Sayyed, and the two wheelers they recovered from them
Police said the 26-year-old complainant (name withheld) had gone to a building in Grant Road in the wee hours of January 10 to visit a sex worker. He had parked his Honda Activa in the area. When he returned, he found it was stolen. He immediately reported the matter to the nearby Pavwala police chowki and told the police that to avoid being disturbed, he had kept the phone on silent mode in the dickey.
Read Story: Bike-borne thieves snatch bag from MLA Ashish Shelar's wife
The police tracked the phone's location to Agripada's Red Cross Street and traced the stolen scooter. They were surprised to find three other stolen bikes nearby. Senior Inspector Pandurang Shinde formed two teams comprising Sub-Inspector Nitin Lavande, Head Constable Mahesh Tavde, Naik Nandu Belnekar, Constables Salim Mujawar, Kirti Varadhi, Sachin Dubal, Prashant Sawant and Rajendra Mandlik to probe the matter. The police teams laid a trap for five days and nights in Agripada area and, on January 16, detained the two suspects.
Police says
"We checked the CCTV feeds nearby, in which the accused were seen keeping the stolen two-wheelers there," said Rajendra Chavan, assistant commissioner of police, Gamdevi division.
Chavan added, "On the information provided by the two, the police recovered two wheelers which were stolen from the jurisdictions of LT Marg, VP Road Wadala, JJ Marg, Dadar, RAK Marg, Marine Drive, NM Joshi Marg and Matunga police stations."

Explaining the modus operandi, ACP Chavan said, "The two would roam around in south Mumbai's crowded areas on a bike and after identifying two wheelers with unlocked handles, would tow them manually using their bike, to their place. They would then replace the bike's registration plates with those from old (scrap) vehicles, which they had bought from LIC's vehicle auctioners."
They would sell few bikes and in order to make quick money would also mortgage them with moneylenders. An officer said the accused would always try to steal Bullets, as they fetch good money. Of the 18 recovered two-wheelers, four are Bullets and one is a Thunderbird.
The officer added that the accused had been operating since at least a year as the information provided by them also led police to a stolen bike in the Nair hospital compound. This bike was reported stolen a year ago. The accused have been remanded in police custody till today.

It's like she's smiling on the outside while cursing your name on the inside...that's how it feels. She doesn't seem to want a relationship with me, least not like difficult child's girlfriends in the past. My mom thinks it is that she doesn't NEED to warm up to me. She is the one on the apt lease they have together...she is even paying for oldest difficult child to go to college. My mom also thinks she is "competition" for me. So far...I don't see any huge red flags as far as the relationship between difficult child and her being what one might call destructive. I do think there is some codependency involved though. easy child thinks she's very shallow and that the relationship will not last much longer. I disagree with second part and think it's probibly going to drag on, mostly because she gave up so much from her ex husband, monetarily speaking, in order to be with difficult child. And...difficult child is a felon, he couldn't even be on the lease and live in anything decent. Plus, she is sophisticated, worldy, and I think difficult child looks up to her in a way that he didn't with his soon to be ex wife. Yep, as far as I know they are both still married to other people...don't know when they're divorces will get finalized. Guess I'm just sharing my thoughts with yall and the latest, fact that they're still together. And...the fact that I just don't Trust Her, can't pinpoint exactly what it is...hmm. Tammy

Not a doctor just an old guy that knows that a lifetime of accumulated sports injuries take their toll.
Romo has broken his left collarbone three times. Including a re-break of a reported healed spot. Then three significant back injuries. Ruptured disc, two transverse fractures and a lumbar compression fracture.
No lingering effects? No limitations or restrictions over the course of a long NFL season? No lost games?
Sorry remain skeptical despite the reassurances from a doctor in an article. Just my uninformed fan opinion.

"Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. Now you put water into a cup; it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle; it becomes the bottle. You put it in the teapot; it becomes the teapot. Water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend." – Bruce Lee
If we watch Bruce Lee in action as a martial arts master, we see a physical manifestation of the perennial eastern wisdom Lee here expresses. His bodily movements were flexible, fluid, like water, capable of adapting to changing circumstances. His body often appears to have no boundaries, no limits. We might say that Lee "empties" his body. This emptying is the experience of the body as intrinsically without form or shape. Therefore, it is capable of taking on many different forms and shapes.
But here Lee speaks of "the mind," not the body. He says "empty" the mind. He says to be "formless, shapeless." What is it, then, for the mind to be empty, for the mind to be formless or shapeless?
First, observe in yourself the tendency to give consciousness a form or shape: anger, sadness, bliss, anxiety, being tired, perceiving a tree, or remembering yesterday's breakfast. Or better yet, think of the presumption that consciousness is this or that form. I am angry because I have experienced some deep emotional injustice. I am sad because my partner dumped me. Here consciousness has shape or form. And so do I, for notice the subtle psychological identification of self with these states of consciousness. It's not simply that anger or bliss is present to or in me. How impersonal is that? Rather I am this! This is why pleasant and unpleasant experiences land a powerful punch or kick. Consciousness has been incarnated, and we experience attachment to it or we experience aversion to it. I like this thing "bliss," and I don't like this thing "sadness." In the first case, I am happy; in the second, I am unhappy.
To speak of consciousness as shapeless or formless is in the first instance simply to cease identifying consciousness with any particular name or form, be it a pleasant or unpleasant one. It's to communicate the idea of a larger consciousness or mind, of which anger, sadness, and such are but temporary manifestations. Eastern spiritual teachers often use the analogy of the wave and the ocean to communicate the idea of smaller, temporary manifestations of a larger enduring reality. This larger enduring reality is pure consciousness, what Vedanta calls the Self and Zen calls the larger or bigger mind.
When we examine our experience, we find thoughts, feelings, and sensations, or more properly the activity of thinking, feeling, and sensing. Upon more careful introspection or meditation, we also find a witnessing background to these mental activities, an ever present, abiding awareness, the one who watches the coming and going of thoughts, feelings, and sensations. The eastern teachers tell us that our sense of being an I, an enduring self, derives from this witness, but this true "I" is veiled through a false identification of "I" with the body-mind. And this delusion is the root of our suffering. We think we are something we are not. We therefore want what we do not need. Consequently, we suffer.
Return to the water metaphor. Like water, consciousness is essentially without form or shape. Therefore, like water, consciousness can permeate everything and it can become anything. You put consciousness into an unpleasant experience, and it becomes the unpleasant experience. You put consciousness into a pleasant experience, and it becomes the pleasant experience. Better yet, formless consciousness becomes incarnate in every thought, feeling, and sensation, but consciousness itself is neither pleasant experience nor unpleasant experience. It can therefore take the name and form of either. It is not this or that experience, but the witnessing background of all experience. Since it is no thing, it can become everything, just as the water is one though it becomes many names and forms – now pot, now cup, now bottle. This is why the Upanishads identify the true Self with Brahman and declare that "Brahman is the world."
If, then, you are that shapeless, formless mind, understand that you are no less present when it is incarnated as the unpleasant experience than when it is incarnated as a pleasant experience. You are there, not merely in the background of all experience but in the foreground, as the very knowing inherent in all thoughts, feelings, and sensations. It is this presence for which the small mind searches because, being small, it has judged itself as in need of completion or enlargement, and implements clever but unsuccessful strategies of assimilating and rejecting this or that object. We take ourselves to be teapot-water longing to be bottle-water, or cup-water longing to be teapot-water. Only if I am "this" or "that" can I fail to be what I want or succeed in being that which I do not want.
However, if consciousness is like water, it matters not whether consciousness is "in the bottle" or "in the cup" or "in the teapot." It is not intrinsically confined to any of these forms. And if the container should crack or shatter, nothing is lost but a limiting condition of our essential nature. This is why, as Kahlil Gibran noted, "your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding."
What does it mean to "empty the mind"? Not the dissolution of the contents of the mind, but rather the dissolution of the understanding of my relation to these contents, specifically the dissolution of the belief and subsequent feeling that what I essentially am shares in the limits and destiny of the body-mind. I do not deny the shape the water has taken when it is in the cup if I say water is formless and shapeless. I imply that the water is more than this, that it is essentially not this shape. What is dissolved in emptying the mind is a particular story the mind tells about itself, the world, and the relation between them – the dualistic story that divides the world essentially into subject-object relations. To empty the mind is not simply to take something away; it is to give the small mind the very completion for which it searches. This completion is the cessation of the story that perpetuates its suffering.
Of course, if you are the water, now flowing then crashing, the call to "be water" is simply a way of saying notice or lend attention to what you already essentially are. You flow and you crash. You are fully present in each moment of life as it happens. And the peace you seek is your very Self, whether flowing or crashing.

Sending from the military, which was delivered by mistake (4 photos)
One American was extremely surprised when his name came about sending a notice from an unknown sender. Well, what else could he do? He went to the post office and got my parcel. Do you think that was inside? As it turned out, the U.S. Post Office mistakenly gave him a military drone for 400 thousand dollars! Look further.

Grab a piece of clothing you like.
Put it on your body.
You've dressed your curves.
Okay, okay. It's not THAT simple because some of us might not be as body confident to wear whatever the heck we like (A bodycon? That's a no from me.) We are constantly told what we should wear to suit our body shape and it's not always as plain and simple as that. I've never liked being told what to do.
I've wrote numerous pieces about the fact that the high street very rarely cater for the curvier side of spectrum for size 12's. We got tall ranges, we got petite too, but we don't have a curves section (unless you are a size 16 and over, generally speaking.) Girl, I got curves. Help me out here. Luckily, Celuu have answered my prayers and whilst they aren't on the high street I know I can rely on them. Now that I've had a few pieces from the collection, I can trust that they are true to size and do cater for the curvier end of a size 12 and up.
I'm pretty much IN LOVE with my white knot top, it's perfectly on trend and not only that, it doesn't cling to areas of my body in a way that I wouldn't want it to (the way other shops clothing might.) To finish the look off, I've paired it with these black cropped jeans. It's a match made in heaven. Perfect for the office and a lunch date with a friend. And finally the shoes & bag are from the trusty Marks & Spencers. The latter has even been featured in Vogue.
And whilst this look on paper, probably shouldn't suit someone my shape it actually does. Because Celuu understand us. They know us curvier gals, we don't want to be pigeon holed in to wearing the same style of outfits – day in, day out and it's nice to see a retailer understand that and cater with different cuts and patterns. Goddam it I do not wanna see another butterfly on a top/dress/skirt/scarf ever again. Because finally, SOMEONE REALLY DOES GET IT.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if more retailers, rolled up their socks and saw this as an opportunity to embrace a bit more equality within the industry?
Because trust me, for us size 12, curvy gals, this shit is golden.
And, wouldn't it be lovely to win a full wardrobe from Celuu worth £1000?
I can see you nodding from over here? Well, you can enter here.
So, if you are a size 12-22 #womanboss who wants #winningcurves, go enter and see for yourself!
Where do you shop for a curvier frame? I'd love to know.

The science of nutrition extends beyond a biochemical analysis of food, assimilation, and digestion within the body. Whole foods provide the energy and nutrients you need to maintain health. Required nutrients include proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water in abundance. Healthy eating isn't hard in fact, but it's a skill that must be learned. The key to nutritional science is to eat a variety of foods, including vegetables, fruits, and whole-grain products. Further, rehydrate with lots of alkaline, ionized mineral water, and limit your intake of salt, sugar, alcohol, saturated fat, and trans fat in your diet. The high water and fiber content in most fruits and vegetables makes them hard to overeat.
Start your morning by skipping high-sugar, processed cereals, and replace the eggs and some of the cheese in your omelet with vegetables. Swap out some of the meat and cheese in your sandwich with healthier veggie choices such as lettuce, tomatoes, sprouts, cucumbers, and avocado. Instead of a high-calorie snack, such as chips and dip, try baby carrots with hummus, or crunching on a fresh apple. Soft drinks including soda and energy drinks are a huge source of calories in many poor diets. One can of soda contains between 10-12 teaspoons of sugar and 150 calories, so a few soft drinks can quickly bloat your daily calorie intake. Switching to diet soda isn't the answer either. Instead, try switching to water with lemon, unsweetened iced tea, or carbonated water with a splash of juice. Beyond major requirements within the nutrition department, you may consider Vernon College zoology degree as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

Blues-Rocker Jordan Cook in Winnipeg Tonight
In Music | no comments yet | permalink
Sunday, November 26
Pyramid Cabaret, Winnipeg
Guitarist Cook Appears at Pyramid Cabaret Tonight
At the age of 22, blues-rock guitarist Jordan Cook is already a veteran musician.
Having headlined his own tours since the tender age of 11, his enormous talent earned him an appearance at the prestigious Montreaux Festival (where he played with BB King, Edgar Winter and Van Morrison) when he was just fifteen. By the age of 18 he'd signed his first major label deal with Epic Records.
With such an auspicious beginning to his career, it's no small wonder the man continues to burn brightly on the scene. He's recently announced a move from his current home of Saskatoon to join the music ranks in Montreal, and in early December plans to travel to England to do some more work on his upcoming debut release, creating with the assistance of Howard Bilerman (The Arcade Fire) and Glen Robinson (Dave Grohl/Keith Richards/Deep Purple).
Cook will be appearing in Winnipeg tonight at the Pyramid Cabaret with his band, a trio with Soundgarden bassist Ben Shepherd and drummer Matt Chamberlain.

I've submitted one of my older illustrations for this week's Illustration Friday Blog. The theme is 'Airborne'. This is still one of my favourite Mr. Buttonman illustrations. I sold the original in an art exhibition last summer, but have made a new copy for myself which is hanging in our bedroom at this very moment.
If I imagine a story around this illustration it would be that Mr. Buttonman has decided it's time for him to travel the world. Button balloon travel is by far the best mode of transportation for a Buttonman, and the great thing about these balloons is they never deflate. He does, on one or two occasions, end up in places he did not plan on visiting, but overall has a grand adventure. The end.
Have a happy weekend, full of blue skies and flighty thoughts 🙂

Clicquot In The Snow: A weekend of champagne and snow in Courmayeur with Veuve Clicquot
It started snowing really late in Italy this winter, and it has been like this for the past years. If you don't believe in climate change just talk to the tourism office anywhere in northern Italy. They'll explain, how the ski slopes resemble more to the green fields in the Heidi cartoon movie. But fortunately, I was lucky when visiting the QC Terme in Courmayeur as it had snowed previously. I found myself in a beautiful all white scenery ready to for a weekend of celebrations with Veuve Clicquot.
If you check your Instagram feed you must have bumped into people celebrating on the snow while sipping the yellow label champagne. This is because #ClicquotInTheSnow is being celebrated all over the World right now, at least in the places where it is snowing.
+ Check out Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic event in New York
The first celebration happened while tasting the new Veuve Clicquot Rich Rose. This new version of the Clicquot Rich that I got to know in Reims while visiting the Veuve Clicquot Maison. With this version of champagne for mixology the recommended mix must include lime, pineapple or Earl Grey tea. The Veuve Clicquot Rich Rose is aged a minimum of 3 years before release.
+ Check out Veuve Clicquot in Portofino
Veuve Clicquot Tasting Dinner
During the champagne tasting dinner, I also learned about the Rich Reserve Champagne that is released as a vintage wine.
Veuve Clicquot Breakfast
Clicquot In The Snow
Finally, we visited the slopes but didn't ski because a snow storm was coming. So we ended up at the Super G mountain lodge for lunch and a Veuve Clicquot based party.

The government has been urged to give Sesame preferential treatment in the District Agricultural Development Plans (DADPS) in order to end constraints facing the crop production amid its global demand surge.
Presenting findings of the research conducted on behalf of MVIWATA to identify policy that affect sesame production and Marketing in Tanzania, Prof Damian Gabagambi from Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA) told members of the press that even as the crop had immense potential, there were numerous policy related issues hindering its production.
"It is high time that the government see need of improving provision of extension service, prioritizing sesame for LGA resources and thus start to subsidize the crop by issuing improved seeds, fertilisers, pesticides and herbicides to farmers."
The research that was conducted in three sesame producing districts-Bahi, Manyoni and Babati- mentions other issues facing the crop to include poor stakeholder organization, bad market linkage, and dominance of local variety seeds and use of unstandardized measurement.
"Sesame has so much potential to stand out as another cash crop, which if sensitized could enable small scale farmers to get out of abject poverty. But we must fight to remove above mentioned numerous constraints," said the Don.
It is because of that, Farm Africa is implementing a project on improving livelihood and improve by addressing challenges facing stakeholders in the sesame subsector.
The project is being implemented in 17 Villages of Babati under COSITA, 23 villages of Manyoni and 20 villages of Bahi Districts under INADES since July 2015 and it is expected to end in June 2018.
Under this project MVIWATA is responsible for, among other things, explore policy related issues to support the implementation of the project.
"It is disheartening to note that we small-scale farmers have no say on how our crops are being weighed by the middlemen who as far as using altered scales and offering us poor prices to exploit us," said Martha Magoha, a small scale from Chilungula village in Bahi district.
We are forced to sell the crop at Sh1,200, instead of Sh3,500 a kilo as average market price. We are asking the government to intervene by issuing bylaws and indicative prices for the crop," he added.
For his part, the MVIWATA executive director Stephen Ruvuga, opening a two day media training to expose journalists sesame farming and markets realities, said in 2013 the average sesame production was 6.7 per cent making the country to attain the status of the world's average producer.
According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) report of 2001 Tanzania is ranked as the eighth country globally in producing sesame after India, China, Japan, Ethiopia, Sudan, Nigeria and Uganda.
In 2013, the country produced a total of 5.6 tonnes of sesame and ranked fifth.
According to him, Lindi, Mtwara, Ruvuma and Mbeya are among major sesame producers in Tanzania.
"Although the market is readily available, with Japan being the largest importer, Tanzania has not capitalized on the situation of promote farming of the crop through providing subsidy," said Mr Ruvuga.
The demand for sesame is increasing both locally and in the international markets due to its nutritional and medicinal values.

What exactly is some sort of Very own Injury Claim
These days, to claim compensation is produced easier than it was in the past since there are several individual injury lawyers that supply help to people who are victims of accidents or any undesirable event which has affected their physical and emotional well-being. These lawyers can offer you 'no win no fee' agreement in which the victim can file individual compensation claims devoid of having to pay costs. If the person who filed the claim won the case, the payment is taken care by the insurer of the third party and if the situation lost, the insurance policy of the victim would cover the payment of the solicitor.
These reforms have given numerous victims of private injury the courage to seek for compensation claims. You can find many law firms which give specialist opinion for the victims of individual injury who want to file compensation claims. Private injury claims is usually sought by the victims given that they have sufficient proof or evidences that could support the claims. The opinion of a legal professional will enable the victim know his chances of acquiring personal compensation claims. A whole lot of passengers assume they're not eligible to seek compensation claims in case the driver of the car was identified responsible. This really is not the situation simply because collision circumstances accidents are brought on by the lack of care of both drivers.
Unless 1 will seek legal opinion, the victim won't be conscious of the possibility that he or she can truly file compensation claims. There's just a single issue that the victim must know when filing private injury compensation claims. The claim has to be filed within three years from the date of the accident. In case the claim is produced following three years, it is going to be regarded invalid. Hence it is pretty vital that you just consult a very good compensation solicitor who knows precisely what wants to be carried out.

Or maybe you'll pass a new dress code that allows for everyone to wear flip-flops. Turns out that great company cultures aren't just about casual clothes at work and free beer on Friday afternoons. According to Culture: More than Jeans and Margarita Machines, strong corporate cultures will positively impact a business by higher stock prices, efficient recruiting, decreased turnover, and increased engagement and productivity.
Here's some things to know about improving your company culture:
READ THIS: Marisa's quick e-book available on Amazon. You'll find out that great cultures aren't an accident and don't just "happen" organically.
KNOW THIS: Culture includes the organization values, visions, norms, working language, systems, symbols, beliefs and habits. It is also the pattern of such collective behaviors and assumptions that are taught to new organizational members as a way of perceiving, and even thinking and feeling. Organizational culture affects the way people and groups interact with each other, with clients, and with stakeholders.
TRY THIS: Hiring managers (or being one) that craves candid feedback, studies best practices, believes in your organization's values, vision and mission, builds trust easily and has a teaching spirit. Managers, according to Marisa, should be held accountable for creating and supporting your corporate culture. Their team engagement levels matter.

Digg, once the darling of start-up world, has sold its brand and its Web site to the New York-based technology company Betaworks. The deal closes the final chapter on the story of Digg's meteoric rise and ultimate decline.
In a blog post announcing the deal, Betaworks — which makes the popular app News.me — said it will be returning the company to its roots.
Full article here:
From a Post on BlackHatWorld:
The small selling price just goes to show how quickly fortunes can turn for even the hottest web startups. According to The Wall Street Journal, Digg took more than $45 million from investors since launching in 2004.
They turned down a $200 million buyout from Google just 4 years ago!
The real lesson for lots of dot com idealists is……When google-microsoft-facebook etc offer you a truck load of money for your website you should rip their arm off..Websites have less loyalty than restaurants…all it takes is a redesign or new format before you decide to not bother with a site you have frequenting for years.. It's not as if there isn't a couple of thousand new sites to choose from every day.
While I would gladly welcome an offer from Google for this site (they could even knock a few 0's off!), this is very sad news for the founders of Digg, who obviously poured their hearts and soul into this venture.
It just affirms that NO ONLINE BUSINESS IS EVER COMPLETELY SAFE. Once you have made a success of your Home Business or Online Money Making method, always ensure your future financial security does not rest solely on that success.
Do not keep your eggs in one basket, put every single finger in a different pie and come up with as many cliche's as possible to ensure your success!
What would happen to your Email list if Gmail or Hotmail closed the doors, your review site if Amazon went bust, your #1 ranked Niche Blog if it didn't meet Google's standards in the next algorithm updates, your MLM business when the guys at the top of the pyramid retire to the Bahamas?
Tip for longevity in the world of money making online:
Succeed – outsource – automate – find a new method – succeed – outsource – automate…
NEVER rest on your laurels when the fragility and fickleness of the Internet is concerned!
See my Tips for success page for more solid advice to make sure you aren't left up sh!t creek without a paddle!!

First of all, this is a joke. The thread is "Fun with..", well, I'm having fun. I was very close to where HCB took his fabulous shot of the lower Manhattan court houses. In fact, comparing with the original, I was standing about three feet too far to the right. Not bad by eyeball. Unfortunately for me, I lacked his lighting, subjects, and timing. That leaves only technology, and so this is what's left. Still, it's great architecture even without the grinning lawyers.
The pillars on the left are the State Courthouse, the building with the pillars in the distance is the old Federal Courthouse. More on that later..

In 1984, I took this with a Pentax 67...
The tall building on the right is the old Federal Courthouse viewed from the back. Yesterday, I was in the same location and took almost the same picture (I didn't have quite as wide a lens this time), but I bet you can identify the NEW Federal courthouse.
Very sad for my friend from whose balcony both shots were taken. He also used to have a great view of the WTC, but lost most of it to the new courthouse, and the rest to later events.
OK, enough history and back to photography.

Established in 1975 by Milan and Kathy Danic, Danics Tyre & Auto Service Centre is the area's leading automotive workshop. We came from humble beginnings. Having emigrated from Croatia with practically nothing in their pockets, Milan & Kathy decided to do what they knew best - automotive repairs and tyres.
They originally established the business in Ashfield then relocated to the Illawarra region in 1987 when they received the opportunity to purchase a parcel of land. With determination and hard work, Danics Auto & Tyre Service Centre grew in three stages from a once-smaller workshop (now known as Frankie's Auto Electrics), to the larger workshop next door (now Tiger Putt Putt), to our present ultra-modern new showroom.
Now enjoying semi-retirement, Milan and Kathy have placed the growing business into the capable hands of their sons (Steven and Tom) and daughter (Mary) who are all highly trained and professional businesspeople with years of experience in the automotive industry.
The Danics Tyres guarantee covers parts or services listed on the original purchase invoice and is valid from the date of purchase for the period of the guarantee, subject to the following exclusions:
Your guarantees apply from the date of your original purchase and are not transferable. Please keep your original receipt in a safe place since proof of purchase is essential before any work can be carried out under your guarantee and warranty.

History and Background
Music is an art which has fascinated and inspired man since antiquity. The type of the society it dwells among varies from slums to divines.
Few years back, two teachers and a handful of students who themselves were inspired by this noble art, formed league which would on day become the pacesetter of Sri Lanka's school music field. That day marked the inception of Royal College Oriental Music Society.
Since its initiation, Our society has evolved to great lengths through incessant victories in school music competitions and many other achievements.
Sa≈Ga≈ the ultimate musical extravaganza can be called the pinnacle of those achievements. It revolutionized the live music performance by school students like never before. "the musical legend of East and West" remains the greatest stage put together by a school to bring students' performances to light. It is politely imitated by many other fellow institutions today.
Currently RCOMS acts not only as an organization which toils to uphold the school music industry but also as a coordinator among Sri Lankan schools to promote music as a subject through various workshops and competitions.
The Oriental Music Society became successful in a number of occasions by winning the all island competitions for a consecutive eight years.
To work for the betterment of the field of music within the school and beyond.
To work realizing the vision for a better taste of quality music among the student community and to give a chance for the students to bring out their true potential ensuring their future and of their Alma Mater.

Rural U.S. communities benefit from wind development. In Texas, the state with the most installed wind capacity, an analysis of rural western counties showed the economic activity to be $520,000 per MW of installed wind capacity. On a national level, local landowners receive about $180 million in lease payments from wind producers, and over an eight-year period county-level income increased by $11,000 per MW of installed capacity. However, overly restrictive setback requirements can prevent farm families and rural school districts from receiving the economic benefits of local wind development.
A setback is the distance a building or structure, such as a wind turbine, must be built from a building, property line, street, body of water, or other place that needs safeguarding. In general, the level of government that has jurisdiction over the land determines setback requirements. Wind turbine setbacks vary greatly across the nation; municipalities may control local setbacks (known as "home rule") while the federal government may control federal highway setbacks.
Some states have outdated setback requirements or have passed restrictive laws for wind turbine setback requirements, such as requiring a wind turbine to be more than 1,000 feet away from the nearest property line. A setback of 1,000 feet is nearly twice as deep as average required setbacks and seven times some setback requirements for oil and gas drilling.
Moreover, some state or municipal setback requirements are the same regardless of turbine size, so for instance a group of ten 500 kW turbines standing 200 feet tall could be restricted to the same setback requirements as a 3.0 MW turbine, which is more than twice as tall at 488 feet. Since turbine heights vary so greatly, states need a setback requirement that recognizes the reduced impacts related to small turbines. A one-size-fits-all setback limit not only adversely affects small turbines, but also could become outdated for large turbines as turbine size continues to increase.
In order to adapt to the diversity of turbines and their expected increase in size, state lawmakers should consider modifying setback requirements to a more adaptable limit that meets the needs of both rapidly growing turbines and small-sized distributed turbines. Instead of a setback distance measured in feet, the setback limit could be measured by the ratio of the turbine height plus blade tip, as done in states such as Pennsylvania. This will ensure the setback will protect neighboring property as turbines increase in size and prevent excessive regulation for small turbines.
Moreover, state lawmakers should consider measuring the setback distance from the nearest residential structure instead of the property line. Many rural residents live acres from their property line and those residents would not be at risk for turbine malfunction. In the unlikely case that property values decline due to the proximity to a wind turbine, the developer could be required to compensate the property owner for the property's depreciation. Restrictive setback limits are an economic disadvantage to all Americans touched by the wind industry: rural homeowners risk losing the opportunity to receive monthly income from leasing their property to wind developers, while wind developers will not be able to develop wind projects. Thus, measuring the setback limit from the nearest structure instead of the property line will allow for continued economic growth
Modifying the setback requirements of wind turbines can continue to protect the health and safety of residents, grow rural economies, and ease burdensome permitting for wind developers across the country—ultimately helping to create more local wind jobs.

White Plains, NY, March 18, 2010 – After a year of tremendous growth
that made it one of the fastest and most successful hospitality industry
launches ever, Aloft® Hotels this
week announced expansion plans for key global markets from Brussels to
Bangalore – and one of Aloft's first New York City properties, in downtown
Aloft, the much-talked-about brand from Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: HOT) is set to open ten new hotels in the coming year, with half of its 2010 pipeline consisting of international properties. With nearly 40 hotels open since its June 2008 debut, the Aloft brand became the talk of the hospitality industry by going global while in launch mode, opening China's Aloft Beijing Haidian and Aloft Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates in the brand's first 15 months.
"The Aloft brand is an important source of fuel for Starwood's strategic, global expansion, with owners, developers and guests embracing the game-changing concept," said Simon Turner, President of Global Development. "The brand, which has an existing presence in four countries, is at a pivotal point in its growth cycle and is poised to continue to break new ground in 2010 as it debuts in India and Europe, while further establishing its presence in the U.S. and China."
Created to offer an alternative to the traditional select service segment of the hotel industry, the Aloft brand delivers style at a steal, with urban-influenced, modern, open and vibrant design – and a social guest experience – all at an affordable price point. In the same way that W Hotels broke through the clutter of conformity in the upscale hotel arena a decade ago, Aloft is shaking up the industry for the next generation of traveler.
"Along with sharp design, smart technology, and accessible price points, there's a genuine buzz inside Aloft properties that's been appealing to guests around the world," said Brian McGuinness, Senior Vice President of Starwood's Specialty Select brands. "The energy of Aloft matches the dynamic business environments where we're expanding."
This year, three Aloft hotels will open in India alone, where the corporate travel market is estimated at more than $3 billion by Business Traveler magazine. The Aloft brand plans properties for Chennai, India's fifth-largest city and its second-largest exporter of software and infotech; Bangalore, the "Silicon Valley" of India; and Coimbatore, one of India's fastest-growing cities and a powerhouse in textiles and engineering.
Europe's first Aloft hotel will open its doors in Brussels, near the heart of the Belgian capital and European Union hub. And stateside, the Aloft brand will open two New York City properties – one in the Big Apple's Brooklyn and the other in the heart of Harlem.

Nashville woman accused of making terroristic threats to her co-workers in south Nashville.
Nashville. They want to be multicultural, cosmopolitan and diverse. I guess they're getting what they wanted, viz. trash.
Abdullahi said she remembered having a discussion of a religious nature with a co-worker
YOU CAN'T DO THAT IN PUBL - wait, you're not Christian? Oh. Sorry...
Nashville? What did she do there, play "jazz" records by Kenny G?!
Attempted terrorism? Sounds more like terroristic threats
Another dove from the religion of peace.
If she worked for the government she'd get a promotion.
The trouble began when a CEVA Logistics employee said his co-worker, Amal Ahmed Abdullahi, 29, of Zermatt Avenue, approached him during his shift last Saturday.
According to a release from Metro police, Abdullahi told the employee that her people were dying for Allah every day; that she was ready to die for Allah; that this whole country will be Muslim soon; that this country is full of non-believers and that this place (her work place) is full of non-believers; that all unbelievers should die; that her life starts after death; that her life is not here, nobody pays attention to her and she should pick up a gun and shoot all these people.
Move along, nothing to see here. This is just a workplace issue according to the Hussein administration.
When I look at that little expletive deleted, I see Ted Kennedy.
This is a good clip on the history of Islam.
Never forget..
ROP alert
Bet this never goes to trial, either dropped or plead to some meaningless crime. The Justice Department does not want this story on the front page.
Any takers...
Just searched for Nashville mosques. The Islamic Center is having a fund raiser if anyone wants to donate.
Tennessee has changed. Wonder about the crime rate, and since our own Dem party is so communist maybe they are importing future warriors. Waiting for the crucial moment.
Sounds to me like someone passed her a BLT sandwich and she ate it.
Sooner or later all Moslems will react, they are just waiting for something else to kick in first, like Obama losing.
"including that her work place is full of non-believers,"
The country, founded by a largely Christian people, is supposed to be full of people who reject Islam, and I expect it will stay that way. Who in their right mind would adopt Islam which demands the believer throw his life away in an act of violence against innocent others when he could accept the free gift of salvation from a God who willingly was sacrificed so they could live? (John 3:16)

text: We've been starting 32 minutes late everyday for the last 2 months. Everyday drivers are going out and funishing P1's 30 minutes late. Which pushes back the other cycles by 30 minutes also. I guess the company has figured out that Most customers aren't calling to get their money back for late packages. Management thinks that starting someone 30 minutes late will cause everyone to push harder and get done at the same time. We had a vehicle roll over last week from someone speeding to get back to the station in time to make the outbound truck. So where are we really now with the PSP philosophy? Is it still People Service Profit? Or should it actually be Profit Service People?
