So many secrets. So much sorrow.
Book Description
Violet and Finn were "meant to be," said everyone, always. They ended up together by the hands of fate aligning things just so. Three years into their marriage, they have a wonderful little boy, and as the three of them embark on their first vacation as a family, Violet can't help thinking that she can't believe her luck. Life is good.
So no one is more surprised than she when Finn leaves her at the beach—just packs up the hotel room and disappears. And takes their son with him. Violet is suddenly in her own worst nightmare, and faced with the knowledge that the man she's shared her life with, she never really knew at all.
Caitlin and Finn have been best friends since way back when, but when Finn shows up on Caitlin's doorstep with the son he's wanted for kidnapping, demands that she hide them from the authorities, and threatens to reveal a secret that could destroy her own family if she doesn't, Caitlin faces an impossible choice.
Told through alternating viewpoints of Violet, Finn and Caitlin, Almost Missed You is a powerful story of a mother's love, a husband's betrayal, connections that maybe should have been missed, secrets that perhaps shouldn't have been kept, and spaces between what's meant to be and what might have been.

Review of Almost Missed You
So many secrets. So much sorrow. All between the covers of Almost Missed You.
Jessica Strawser's début novel, Almost Missed You, wears a plot line woven as finely as a spider spins its web. Intricately written into each of her characters are elements of deceit and lies. It should be noted that often they don't outright lie. They simply don't share the truth about certain things.
Of her characters, the one I identified with was Gram, the grandmother of Victoria, the main character (or at least the main one from my perspective). Gram had raised Victoria from childhood and they had a bond as maternal as a natural mother and daughter. Although a somewhat minor character, Gram's strong love and support see Victoria through a devastating period when her husband and son disappear. I suppose being a mom, grandma, and great-grandma drew me to Gram's personality and treatment of others.
The other characters were well-developed for their purposes. However, the degree of secrecy among them was astounding. Strawser deftly manages sharing chapter by chapter their individual stories. At times, the switching between characters and story lines left me in a state of vertigo keeping up with who knew which secret. This would be my only critical comment about Almost Missed You.
Strawser's writing and ability to thread together the various plot lines and characters in this her début novel leaves me a bit jealous as a fellow writer. I highly recommend Almost Missed You if you enjoy a fast-paced book filled with suspense and mystery.

Since her transition, Caitlyn Jenner has been a media magnet known as the most famous openly-trans woman in the world. Thankfully, we're going to cover Caitlyn Jenner and her incredible (and very public) transition. With this being said, here's a look at the life and times of Caitlyn Jenner.
Call Me Caitlyn: Stepping Out
Being a widely-recognized public figure well before her transition, Jenner's announcement took place in an episode of 20/20 with Diane Sawyer in 2015. Stating that she had dealt with gender dysphoria since her youth, she was proud to finally call herself a woman.
She initially started utilizing hormone replacement therapy and cross dressing decades prior to her 2015 announcement, but stopped when her romance became serious with Kris Kardashian in the 1990s.
The Transition Heard Round The World
Caitlyn press was (and still is) inescapable since her transition announcement. Her 20/20 special had 20.7 million viewers and her coming out Tweet was the"tenth most re-tweeted Tweet" by Time magazine in 2015. After she opened an official Twitter account, she eventually amassed over a million followers in four hours and three minutes. In doing so, she broke a Guinness world record for Twitter followers in a short time span – which was set by none other than President Barack Obama (who had over a million followers in four hours and fifty-two minutes).
Her show I Am Cait premiered to an audience of 2.7 million viewers and the show documents her transition and how it effects her loved ones. The show was up for "Outstanding Reality Program" at GLADD's Media Awards in 2016 and tied for first place.
LGBTQ Reception
Putting her transition into living rooms and news stands throughout the world, it's no surprise that Caitlyn is a heroine among the LGBT community. She received the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the 2015 ESPY Awards for "embracing the truth that she has hidden for years" and "educating others on the challenges that the trans community face regularly".
In addition to winning the Arthur Ashe Courage Award, MAC Cosmetics worked with Jenner on a lipstick called "Finally Free" in 2016. All of the proceeds of the selling price went to the MAC AIDS Fund Transgender Initiative, which works in support of transgender communities.
Public Reception
Being labeled "Social Media Queen" at the Teen Choice Awards in 2015, it's safe to say that millions young and old were on board with her transition. She was listed as one of Entertainment Weekly's "Entertainers of the Year", Time magazine's "Person of the Year", one of Google's "Most Searched Celebrities", and Barbara Walters' "Most Fascinating Person" of 2015. The positive reception didn't stop in 2016, as Caitlyn was listed in the Time 100.
Considering the information above, it's safe to say that Caitlyn brought the world along for the ride during her transition. Leaving almost no gray areas for speculation in regards to her very public process, she showed the world the importance of feeling comfortable in your own skin.Published in EntertainmentRecommend0 recommendations

"The DJ was really this power center, the digital shaman presiding over the energy and the intensity of the experience. It was so tribal." – Jason Bentley
April 23rd, 2015 Take away the million dollar Vegas residencies, the sponsorship contracts and the TV shows; take away the lucrative commercial deals, the marquee corporate endorsements and the bon vivant lifestyle; take away the A-list engagement parties for J Lo and Christina Aguilera, the fashionable birthday bashes for Madonna and Tom Cruise and the Hollywood girlfriends and what you have left is a deeply tortured yet talented mind – with the ability to create an existential freestyle beat experience that made throngs of devotees very happy. With the ethos of bringing music madness to the masses, simply put Adam Michael Goldstein aka DJ AM was kill'n it with electronic FLAVA. But that madness almost didn't happen if not for a series of self-help rescues from the personal demons that rarely if ever left.
"What I like to do is what makes me happy, hurts no one and helps others. Those are the questions I ask myself with any kind of major decision."
AS I AM: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF DJ AM navigates the rough waters of Adam's addictions both musically and as the poster boy for addictive personalities and recovery. Channelling the frenetic pacing of a hot house techno beat, Director, Kevin Kerslake cleverly leverages the posthumous off camera in treatment lyrical musings from Adam together with influential music insiders as we hear the struggles and witness the rise of an infinitely talented DJ prodigy dropping skillz at the latest "it-spot". Now at the forefront of a DJ movement but still swimming upstream seeking new musical territories to conquer, Adam single-handedly rebranded the antiquated club DJ template into a high flying corporate doyen by creating stylistic events that pushed pay scales from hundreds to thousands to millions with the latest Serato wizardry. And yet with all this success he still wasn't able to crack the holy grail of the black music scene. The pressure of being the big cog in the unforgiving music industry money wheel will always come at a price and that price for Adam was paid by relapsing.
VERDICT 3.5 / 5: The cautionary tale of music icons struggling with addiction is a well-worn path in the musical biopic genre. Amy Winehouse, Jimmy Hendrix, Michael Jackson, Jim Morrison and Janice Joplin quick come to mind. Less familiar but no less important was the impact Adam Goldstein made in his short lived career as the preeminent celebrity DJ. Surreal animation sequences into the murky underbelly of his inner turmoil plays out with unnerving clarity. It's never easy capturing the many sides of a musical prodigy in his prime and yet Kerslake delivers layered instalments of personal torment, self-help wisdom, family dysfunction and the insular world of the music industry all wrapped up in an ear warping FLAVA mash-ups.
FINAL THOUGHT: Without sobriety, there is no DJ AM.

My BBF's son had a minor/quick tummy bug at the beginning of the week. Then they came to play and the next day her other son woke up sick… so when I woke up with nausea I thought nothing of it. Until the next day when I still had it and realized that it went away when I ate something or burped… and then I realized those are my pregnancy symptoms… so I tested.
#4 will be here the beginning of February!!

Srinagar: Militant outfit Hizbul Mujahideen has threatened joint resistance leaders through a video clip viral on social media.
Hiz bul Mujahideen Commander, Zakir Musa has openly threatened joint resistance leaders for terming the Kashmir issue as political.
"Some days back the joint resistance leaders issued a statement saying Kashmir struggle is political and it has nothing to do with religion," a man taken as Hizb commander, Zakir says in the clip adding "we just want to ask these political hypocrites if Kashmir is a political issue why are you raising slogans like 'Azadi Ka Matlab Kya. La Illaha Ilallah', 'Pakistan Say Rishta Kya. La Illaha Ilallah'. Why do you come and address people in mosques?"
"We warn these Hurriyat people not to interfere in our matters and remain with their dirty politics otherwise we will cut their heads and hang them in Lal Chowk," Zaikr is heard threatening pro-freedom leaders openly.
"Hum kuffar ko chod kar pehley aap ko latkayain gay… Lal Chowk mein galay katain gay…" the Hizb commander says in his message.
"I am not an ulema, but the scholars here are corrupt… fearful of tagoot that they may be imprisoned, that is why we have to come forward," he says, quoting a verse from the Qur'an. "They are only political leaders and they can't be our leaders," he says.
Pertinently, Zakir was a close aide of former Hizb commander, Burhan Wani.
After Burhan's killing in July 2016, Hizb announced Zakir as his successor.

As an occasional feature on TELOSscope, we highlight a past Telos article whose critical insights continue to illuminate our thinking and challenge our assumptions. Today, Frederick H. Pitts looks at Herbert Marcuse's "On the Philosophical Foundation of the Concept of Labor in Economics" from Telos 16 (Summer 1973).
In his 1933 essay "On the Philosophical Foundation of the Concept of Labor in Economics," Marcuse's thesis is that the conception of labor as economic activity gives a one-sided picture of human praxis. According to Marcuse, such a conceptualization overlooks the way in which labor is an eternal condition of human existence geared toward self-creation and becoming. Marcuse's elucidation of these issues invites contention. As Douglas Kellner asserts in his introduction to the essay, the two principal problems with Marcuse's position pertain to the way in which labor is, on the one hand, presented as an entirely trans- or a-historical phenomenon, capable only of being "liberated" rather than offering the possibility of being "liberated from," and, on the other, associated with an absolutized self through the process of labor-as-becoming, holding subjectivity to be forged consciously rather than foisted upon oneself from outside (Kellner, 3–6). To these I would add a related third, which is that an economic perspective such as that challenged by Marcuse is necessary to rectify the first and second stumbling blocks. In spite of this, as we shall see, Marcuse's theorization of the philosophical and economic conceptualization of labor might provide useful insights for a rethink of productive activity in the context of contemporary capitalism.
Marcuse begins by contending that economics has, on the one hand, reduced labor merely to economic activity geared toward the meeting of material needs, and, on the other, differentiated it with so many demarcations as to remove the possibility of appreciating it in the round. Ultimately, Marcuse suggests, this leads to a lack of any "general" concept of labor (9).
In order to illustrate what such a "general" conception of labor might consist of, Marcuse is moved to consider labor in comparison to its "other," play, employing observations about "primitive" society in order to illustrate his thesis. Marcuse differentiates the role of labor in early society, and particularly the specific time dimensions that it inhabited, from the situation inherited today. In primitive societies, the relationship to labor as human praxis does not exist in the same way, with primitive peoples lacking the conception of time necessary to conceive of a future in which to situate the goals and aspirations that direct the labor of becoming (28). This lack of task-oriented time mean that in play, the characteristics of the interaction between the human and its object differ radically; the object presents no "task" and no necessity, and the human exists already "beyond" and "free" of the object. It is in this sense that play and labor stand in reverse relation in early society, with work outweighed by the predominance of dance, art and other social activities (28).
Marcuse suggests that because of labor's definition in contradistinction to forms of "non-activity" and "play," economic theory has felt no need to include within its domain a "general" definition of labor in and of itself, on its own terms as opposed to those forged in comparison with the non-labor of leisure and idle distraction (12). For Hegel, labor is not an "activity" at all, but an event that spans man's being itself, with no determination stemming from the objects, intentions or outcomes that it enters into interactions with, but related rather to the "human existence" itself. By this rationale, labor is "the specific praxis of human existence in the world" (13). Marcuse labels labor a "task" posed of the human in-itself toward its constitution as the human for-itself (13–14).
Such a conception might bear some contemporary relevance. Marcuse goes on to write that
the economic concept of labor has decisively influenced the conception of the essence of labor in general—including labor outside the economic sphere. It has forced reflection on the essence and meaning of labor as such in a definite direction—hence labor in the primary, authentic sense is held to be economic activity, while the activity of, for example, politicians, artists, researchers, and priests is characterized as labor only in a derivative and somewhat uncertain sense, and is generally put forth as fundamentally opposed to economic activity. This narrowing of the concept of labor has, however, gone further, even within economic theory itself. For the concept of labor is here increasingly limited to supervised, unfree activity (whose conceptual model is the labor of the wage earner)—even where the concept of labor in economics should be defined in the context of the basic concepts of that science. (9–10).
Whilst it may be misjudged to assume that a multi-purpose, non-economic, everlasting concept of labor is even possible, Marcuse does make the more useful assertion that the reduction of labor to mere economic activity has produced a mental divide between "economic praxis" and the type of work that takes place under the auspices of such realms as politics, art, research and priesthood, which, lacking an immediately, transparently "economic" application, is "characterized as labor only in a derivative and somewhat uncertain sense" (9–10). At its conclusion, this tendency has limited the notion of labor-as-economic-activity to only those forms of work that are "supervised, unfree" and subject to the formal wage relation (10). Such an opening up of the application of the concept "labor" to fields of performance outside the initial confines of the paid workforce or the walls of the workplace is more pressing a need than ever in contemporary circumstances.
Although, for instance, the labor of the mother or the housewife has typically conformed to a model of value-creating reproductive labor unrecognized by the mantle of "work" and unrewarded by the attendant financial recompense, such productive activity has proliferated in post-Fordist, globalized capitalist economies with flexible labor markets. The reluctance to identify, for instance, the self-use of supermarket checkouts, revenue-generating "clicks" on Google advertisements or the booking of flights using automated telephone menus as "labor" obscures the productive effort engaged in under the guise of consumption and robs those employed in such labors of the wage they may be entitled to (the movement for a Guaranteed Minimum Income can be seen in the context of this argument, recognizing the productive role that even, for example, the unemployed assume in contemporary capitalist society).
The tendencies that seem to avail Marcuse's theorization of some utility in understanding contemporary labor, however, also possess the associated effect of calling into questioning the very differentiation between play and labor upon which that theorization is established. In post-industrial economies, the upsurge in work tasks devoted to communication, creation, emotion and the forming of relationships in the service and cultural sectors, and the valorization of everyday leisure activities such as surfing the web (through pay-per-click), watching television (through the market in viewing figures, for instance) and the very workmanlike way that video game users go about completing the tasks so demanded, have blurred the lines between where labor ends and leisure begins. Horkheimer and Adorno foresaw as much in their Dialectic of Enlightenment: "What happens at work, in the factory, or in the office can only be escaped from by approximation to it in one's leisure time" (Adorno and Horkheimer, 137). In the spare time of the worker, the escape from the logic of the production process is only one of approximation. In contemporary capitalism, play may well be as labor, and labor as play, immediately productive of value. Such an economic conception of labor is at odds with Marcuse's, but throws light upon the ramifications of his thesis in light of present-day conditions of human activity.
The trends outlined above, of both the enveloping of all life with production and the growing proximity of work to play, indicates that a reconceptualization of labor is a necessary exercise, toward which Marcuse's insights might be valuable contribution. However, Marcuse's solution for the problem of how labor can be redefined to broaden the cache of activity for which it has analytical purchase misses the mark somewhat; a philosophical recalibration ontologizes ("labor is an ontological concept of human existence as such" [11]) and naturalizes forms of activity specific to the capitalist mode of production. Furthermore, a more flexible and fluid philosophical conception of labor that provides a more amenable basis for application to different and diverse forms of praxis is not needed to achieved such an end. The recognition as "labor" of activities that lack correspondence to the traditional characteristics of "supervised, unfree" work is not something that requires philosophical bending of the definitional rules, but can be seen rather as an established state of affairs ascertainable from the most cursory of economic enquiries. Thus, the pitfall of the economic definition of labor that Marcuse usefully draws attention to can be rectified not by a retreat from the economic, but by its improvement and extension to yet more realms of human praxis.
Statements of the enveloping of all of life with labor rather than a narrow preoccupation with labor concretely understood hints toward the conceptualization of abstract labor found in some of the literature on Marx's theory of value, and highlights the way in which, somewhere in Marcuse's transhistorical, humanistic conception of labor as human becoming, may lay the kernel of something good and useful. The idea of labor as a mode of human existence, an "event" in the Hegelian sense that spans man's entire being, may have some utility in describing the previously noted proliferation of work into every corner of life, in which the logic of the labor process has seeped out of the factory walls to infiltrate and infest every thread of the social fabric, rendering even the most everyday exchange immediately productive of value. Yet the true utility of Marcuse's philosophical concept consists precisely in the fact that it throws poetic and polemical light upon processes that are explained using the principally economic framework he sets out to challenge.

Revenue Growth May Not Tie Up Cash, After All
The conventional wisdom which states that increasing revenues diminish free cash flow doesn't survive the glare of scrutiny — at least the scrutiny of Georgia Tech's financial analysis lab. In a report released today, the lab studied the 2010 financial results of companies in 44 non-financial industries with revenues of more than $100 million.
"It is a common misbelief that growth requires a use of cash," writes Charles Mulford, an accounting professor who directs the lab. "The reality is that there are many companies that actually generate increasing amounts of free cash flow as revenues grow."
That finding contradicts the impression that free cash flow normally declines as revenues increase, because cash is used to finance growth. While the study found that companies in 18 of those 44 industries would see a decline in free cash flow even as revenues rose, for the balance of industries, the opposite is true.
Companies overall would see free cash advance along with revenues, as their median free cash profile–defined as operating profit before depreciation minus operating working capital (inventory, receivables and payables used in operations), income taxes and capital expenditures, divided by revenue –stood at 4.95% at the end of last year.
That means that for every dollar of revenue growth, free cash would grow by 4.95 cents.
In an apparent contradiction in terms that only an accountant could love, the Georgia Tech lab said that Netflix's working capital percentage of negative 18.20%, compared with entertainment industry median of negative 11.86%, provided the online retailer with "a unique competitive advantage."

Wow! An amazing account!
Lived Six Years in Trans-Sexed Attire: Girl Buried in Her "First Black Suit"
(United Press) Chicago, Feb. 9. — Ida Weinstein, 26 years old, was buried yesterday in the first dress to clothe her body in six years. As "Ben Rosenstein" and the "husband" of Pauline Rosenstein with whom he lived for six years. Ida died in a pitifully furnished, small bedroom in the rear of the second floor of No. 2146 Ogden Avenue, the victim of tuberculosis. Her last gasping request to her "wife" and to her "wife's" mother was that she be buried "in her first black suit."
Pauline Rosenstein is 26. She weepingly told the details of her life as Ida's "wife," whose real sex was not known here even by the wife's mother, until the undertaker took charge of the remains.
"Ida came to this country seven years ago. Her brother-in-law, Sam Cohen, sent her over. We met and became fast friends in New York, where we roomed together at the New York Jewish Shelter house.
Reading Marx and Tolstoi suggested that Ida adopt a male role. "We were paid terribly for working in a store. We could really live if one received a man's wages. Ida was robust and strong. I wanted to be a man also; we still could have lived together. But Ida said that I was too frail. She refused to hear of it. She insisted upon my being her "wife" in the eyes of the world.
"Ida clipped her hair and got a job as a packer. We were very happy. For a while we worked in Detroit. We then moved to Cleveland where we lived as Mr. and Mrs. Ben Cohen, and later came to Chicago. It was here that Ida's health began to fail. I wanted then to play the man, but Ida would not hear of it. She said that she was lonely and was afraid she would die when I was away from her. Now I do not know what to do. I have lost my dearest friend."
For some time "Ben Rosenstein's" name had been carried on the books of the Jewish Aids Society.

The thermometer is going to shoot up in temperature this week and now is the time to line-up your methods of beating the heat. Drink lots of water, make your own ice tea, eat fruits (especially watermelon) and finally, make ice cream!
This recipe contains three old ingredients: the first one being mulberries. These came from my neighbors who have a tree in their backyard and they are all too glad to give bowls of them (as there are too many for them to enjoy). Back in Greece, mulberries were brought from Asia and a brisk silk trade and in the Middle Ages, the Peloponnese was even called Morea (Mulberry).
Mulberries come in red, white and deep purple colours and they are found all through North America. The are much sweeter than blackberries and raspberries and you may want to balance that with some acidity. I used pomegranate molasses.
The other olden ingredient here is rosewater, a distillate of rose petals and a by-product of rose oil. My Cypriot friends love it in their desserts, as do my Middle Eastern friends and Greeks use it sparingly in desserts as well. Since ancient times, Greeks valued roses for their aroma, beauty, medicinal and nutritional properties. Rose gardens were just as important as fruit orchards and wheat fields!
The final olden ingredient is delicious, healthy, tangy Greek yogurt. I recently was given some Krinos brand Greek yogurt and although this was the zero fat variety, the richness, flavour and thickness all rivaled that of what you find in full fat yogurt…excellent!
This ice cream is custard based with some eggs and cream but the yogurt cuts the richness and the sweetness of mulberries. Rosewater may not appeal to all children but adult ice cream lovers will adore this recipe. This is an ice cream that also has aroma…open the tub and the smell of roses fills your nose. Time to enjoy a scoop of ice cream…it`s to beat the heat ya know!
Mulberry & Rosewater Ice Cream
1 cup whole milk
1 cup whipping cream
pinch of salt
1 Tbsp. corn starch
4 large eggs
1 can condensed milk (approx. 150ml.)
2 cups Greek style yogurt
2 Tbsp. vanilla extract
3-4 Tbsp. pomegranate molasses
2-3 Tbsp. rosewater
For the Mulberries
2 1.2 cups mulberries
3 Tbsp. icing sugar
1 Tbsp. of Tsipouro (or grappa)
- Into a medium pot add the milk, cream and salt, bring up to just scalding over medium heat. Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a large bowl and add the corn starch and whisk until smooth. Once the milk is scalding, slowly pour into the bowl with eggs while vigorously whisking.
- Now pour the custard base back into the pot and simmer over medium heat while stirring. Once the mixture has thickened, remove from the heat and strain (to remove any lumps) back into the bowl. Allow to cool.
- Whisk in the condensed milk, yogurt, vanilla, molasses and rosewater. Cover and place in the fridge to chill for 8 hours or overnight.
- The next day, pour the ice cream base into your ice cream maker and churn for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, place your mulberries in bowl with the sugar and Tsipouro (or grappa) and toss.
- When the ice cream has finished churning, spread layer of mulberries in a container then empty some of the ice cream on top and mix with a spatula. Add mulberries then ice cream, mix again. Repeat until all the mulberries and ice cream have been mixed into your tub.
- Cover and place in the freezer overnight to set.

"Our 17 year old daughter passed first time with Gavin after approximately 30 hours of tuition. Gavin is very patient, reliable and ultimately taught our daughter to drive safely, added to which excellent value for money. We were so happy with the service received, now that our son has turned 17 it was given that Gavin would be teaching him to. James has subsequently gone on to pass his test first time as well."
Mrs Edwards
"Hi Gavin,
Your mum was right. You really are a good driving instructor. Thanks for all the effort you gave to Jade to get her through her driving test first time. I have been out with her in the car and I am really happy with the way that she is driving and felt safe."
Jade's Mother – Wallington
"Hi Gavin

So yesterday evening not more than 5 minutes after my lights were set to go off, a storm knocked the power out. Well since I am doing DWC I had no air bubbles. I went to go online to look up what to do in this situation but my phone died once google loaded so.... damn.
It was out for about 3 hours so I took the plants out of the buckets and put them in a dry bucket for about 20 - 30 minutes then dipped them back in the water for a few then back in the dry buckets. They seem to be doing ok this morning.
So my question to you guys is whats a safe amount of time can roots be in water without bubbles? Anyone ever setup a battery backup for your air pumps?

The function of rocket propellant is based on specific impulse which measures the kinetic energy producing ability of the propellant. The specific impulse (Is) can be calculated from the following equation,
Is = 1/g √(2γ/γ–1) (gRTc/M) (1 – pc/pe)γ–1/γ
γ = Ratio of specific heat at constant pressure to specific heat at constant volume.
Tc = Combustion chamber temperature.
M =Average molecular mass of exhaust products.
Pe =External pressure
Pc = Chamber pressure, and
R = Gas constant
The above equation shows that the conditions favoring high specific Is impulse are high chamber temperature Tsand pressure, low molecular mass of exhaust products and low external pressure.
The higher the temperature and pressure achieved in the chamber, the higher the kinetic energy of the gases escaping through the nozzle.
Example 1: Which is the relation between the specific impulse and the critical temperature attained in a rocket blast
(a) Is > Tc (b) Is and TC2
(c) Is > Tc1/2 (d) Is > 1 / Tc
Ans: (c)

- I lived in San Mateo all my childhood and recently came back for my job. I feel spoiled and at home every time I come to San Mateo and that is because of the food and the atmosphere of the town. One of my long time favorites is Gau Poang! They have the BEST combination chow fun and if you order at lunch make sure you get the lunch combination its at a great deal. Another oldie but goodie is somewhere you might not expect.....in Mill Hospital! The celebrity cafe is located on the first floor and has been there since I was 8 years old. The food truly reminds me of home cooking and a hospital is the last place you would think to find a good meal! They serve breakfast all day and I must say the hashbrowns are mighty delicious!

- The food in San Mateo is delicious. Whether you go for the pasta, the Vietnamese food or the amazing burgers, they will always please.

- Hotaru best food NA

- San Mateo is mostly know for it's vast variety of Japanese restaurants but there is this one pho place that stands out a lot. It is called Saigon city. They provide the most affordable and delicious pho anywhere else. This place also has a really great service that grasp the customers and have them coming back to eat next time.
- on October 1, 2013
- The food in San Mateo is the best. Trust me, I've been to Walla Walla, Washington. And the food there is nothing compared to my humble abode of a town that is San Mateo. Therefore, it can be inferred that although San Mateo, being the small town that it is, has great stuff you can't get anywhere else such as Tpumps and Pancho Villa. This shows that San Mateo ranges from all different types of food from Mexican to Asian. This furthermore shows that San Mateo is a highly versatile candidate for being the best small town in America.

Paradise! Before the Holocaust, BÄdzin was considered by many Jews to be an earthly paradise. BÄdzin sang; it was happy. It was called the âsinging town.â Orchestras went throughout the streets. Courtyard musicians performed. Hanna Granek was born in this paradise, beautiful city of BÄdzin. Hannaâs happiest years were spent at Gymnasium Fürstenberg. Hanna remembers the close friendships that developed throughout her years at the gymnasium. Hanna and her friends walked the promenade, danced the tango, foxtrot, and the waltz and went to Shirley Temple and Laurel and Hardy movies. Her childhood was idyllic. Paradise Lost! BÄdzin was captured by the Nazis. A mountain of stones remained of their great and beautiful synagogue. Here a small shoe that had been flung from a child on his way to annihilation There a small tallis flapped on a fence and twisted its fringes, as if trying to oust the defiling forces, the evil that had penetrated BÄdzin.

My name is David Jeremy Ehrlich. Hanna Ehrlich, a Holocaust Survivor, is my grandmother, my âBubbie.â
Everyone calls me âJeremy.â At my work I appear as David on our internal networks, so occasionally I need to clarify that Jeremy is my middle name. My first name, David, is in honor of a relative. Those close to me know how I got the name; others donât. David was Bubbieâs younger brother, her only sibling. He was killed in the Shoah.
I try to recall when I realized that David was my first name. As in a dream from as early as I can remember, I have a vision in my head of my Bubbie showing me the picture of her brother and telling me how as a very young boy he had died in something very bad that she said was a war. She told me he was a good boy and that she loved her little brother very much. I thought he looked older than me in the picture but not by much. I vaguely understood, and I also remember thinking at that very moment how very afraid I was that somehow I would also die.
There are other memories . . . glimpsing pictures of war atrocities that I wasnât supposed to look at stacked with other papers brought out at a holiday dinner, overhearing stories in bits of English, Yiddish, and Polish, or touching precious photos of relatives, now all gone. There would be a head count at the holiday dinner table, a count of those who were not there, all the lost brothers and sisters, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, all who should have been the at the Ehrlich family Passover Seder but were now only memories.
There were also the ever-present tattooed numbers on my Ziedeâs (grandfatherâs) arm. As a young boy before my Bar Mitzvah, I would attend Bubbie and Ziedeâs synagogue, where I noticed many others with numbers tattooed on their arms. The dozens of families that made up their synagogue were all survivor families. Looking back I realize that from this synagogue family I was fortunate to enjoy a bit of life as it looked and sounded in pre-war Europe, perhaps as in BÄdzin, my Bubbieâs city back in Poland. With all of these visions and experiences, all the bits and pieces of information that could be gleaned at the time, and with the best of the reasoning and logic I could muster as a child, I established my understanding of the very bad thing that had happened to my family. I believe I also understood that I wasnât going to be able to comprehend this thing fully until I got older.
As I matured, received an education, married, and had my own wonderful family, the realization that the Holocaust wasnât something that I would comprehend at any one time became clear. The knowledge comes in very subtle ways. It can also come in shock waves.
While walking though the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington with Bubbie and Ziede (who are founding members of the Museum), I was completely amazed and dumfounded by the level of pain and anguish my grandparents had been able to endure. However, also surreal and very subtle was the knowledge that I was walking through a museum with the active participants, each an actual genuine walking-and-talking piece of history.
At ninety years old, my Bubbie is amazing. She is a Renaissance woman. At any given time she may be on the internetâno doubt looking at some Holocaust related matter, on the phone helping another survivor locate long-lost relatives, giving advice on locating reparations help, being asked to speak, lecture, attend, or otherwise commemorate Holocaust events. If asked, she will translate in the four or so languages she speaks. She knows her favorite operas and can sing parts from them. She can dance a mean tango, and Bubbie still likes to tell a good Yiddish joke. The smile on her face when her great-granddaughters hug her lights up the entire room.
Bubbie had the foresight to have her son Isaac, my father, tape her Holocaust testimony along with Wolfâs. My father also collected, scanned, and inventoried our family photos and documents. My father indicates that he was profoundly saddened but that the work helps explain Bubbie to our children and the world and helps them understand the magnitude to which hatred and prejudice can bring out the most evil side of human nature.
Through Bubbie we can exemplify the resilience and the better side of humanity. In the darkest of nights, people donât have to lose hopeâpeople can withstand and overcome. We must remember and never forget what Bubbie and our people went through. The legacy of my grandparents, my family members who perished, and all those lost in Holocaust must be this: Let there be no more Holocausts.
Thanks, Bubbie, for your ever abundant love, kindness, generosity, and understanding and for all you have given and continue to give us every day. Thank you for providing me the wonderful opportunity to tell your miraculous story every time someone asks about my name.
David Jeremy Ehrlich
After graduation, Hanna would have gone to the university except, in September 1939, the Germans attacked Poland, World War II broke out, and universities were forbidden to accept Jewish students. The occupation of BÄdzin was followed by restrictions, ghettoization, deportation, and the murder of most of Hannaâs friends and family. After years in forced labor camps, Hanna was liberated and reunited with her friend from BÄdzin, Wolf Ehrlich. The two married in Munich and immigrated to the U.S. where they established a poultry farm and a china and crystal shop in Mays Landing, New Jersey. Hannaâs memoir, An Exile from a Paradise: Memories of a Holocaust Survivor from BÄdzin, Poland, is awe-inspiring, a story of resilience and hope, of exile and acceptance.

We are totally loving our new location for our Friday night gaming sessions. The White Lion are fantastic hosts, provide fantastic facilities, great beverages, what more could you want?
Last night Debbie, Jonathan, and Diego provided that last element needed for our great new location to play games, great company.
During the week we had become aware of an injury to Debbie. Apparently due to a hair brain stunt she did (going for the world record for possum juggling). Debbie had fractured a finger. A cunning plan was hatched to take advantage of this by playing manual dexterity games such as Flick 'Em Up, Pitch Car or Ice Cool (or whatever that new game is called). Sadly there was a flaw in this cunning plan. Jonathan and I didn't own any of these games.
I don't know what Diego made of this banter at Debbie's expense. This was the first time I'd met him. Although Debbie and Jonathan had met Diego before at a previous Fenland Gamers monthly meetup. Maybe he thought I was a bit of a dick. Not an inaccurate conclusion to arrive at.
Earlier in the week Jonathan and I, who were the only ones at the time going, decided to choose which games we were going to play. So between us we had decided on Saloon Tycoon, Guilds of London, and Five Tribes.
So our first game of the evening was Saloon Tycoon.
Considering Diego hadn't played the game before and had only read the rule book that morning, his victory was just totally awesome. Now if I said Diego crushed us, I'd be doing him a disservice. He destroyed us. We weren't even close.
I took second place, while Jonathan managed to steal last place after a late surge in points from Debbie. Who had been hanging way way back on the score track for all of the game. That late surge almost got her second place. But I managed to hold on by four points.
This was the first time we played the game with the max player count. And it still played well.
Debbie made some excuse about having to go see her boyfriend, and made a fast exit.
Still there were three of us. And Jonathan and I both had our copies of Thiefs Market with us. So we decided to play a game of it, and then go get the end of evening celebratory kebab.
Wow did I totally suck playing this time. I failed to buy intelligently. Too many turns where I wasn't buying anything or getting gold/noteriety instead.
Like Love Letter Batman I think we need to start rationing our play of Thiefs Market. The danger I want to avoid is burning out on the game.
The new King of Thieves was Diego.
Wow a clean sweep of victories for Diego. Whilst Jonathan and I both walked away with a bottom of the pile.
A great evening of gaming again. So same time and place next week?

HANCOCK COUNTY — The U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) has expanded operations at its secure production facility on the grounds of the Stennis Space Center to include smart card production.
GPO opened the facility in 2008 as a second location to produce passports for the Department of State and since that time has produced 19 million passports at the facility.
This new expansion of the production of smart cards will include Trusted Traveler Program (TTP) cards for the Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection. GPO will be producing approximately 20,000 TTP cards per month at the Mississippi facility.
TTP cardholders experience expedited travel when crossing at the United States' northern and southern borders and when going through customs for international travel at airports.
GPO started producing TTP cards in 2008 and has produced two million cards at its secure production facility in Washington, D.C.
Acting public printer Davita Vance-Cooks said, "The expansion of smart card production at our Mississippi facility is an example of the growing demand for secure federal credentials. GPO will continue to expand its smart card business and looks forward to working with other government agencies on their secure credential needs."

Only 5% of all adults used Social Media in 2005 when Pew Research first asked, and as ofAugust 2011 Pew now reports more than 65% of all adults use Social Media. To be more precise about what going on with online adults here's the daily breakdown from another Pew report:
92% use search engines 92% send or read email 76% get news online 71% buy a product online 65% use Social Media
So even though 65% of users are active with Social Media, 92% are busy with search engines and email, here are even more interesting details about the demographics of Social Media users:
As of May 2011, there are no significant differences in use of social networking sites based on race and ethnicity, household income, education level, or whether the internet user lives in an urban, suburban, or rural environment.
In many ways it's not a surprise about this evolution of Social Media and Internet activity, but clearly we recognize there are more radical cultural and legal changes are in our future.

2003 Jeep Liberty 3.7L V6 Check Engine Light
I checked the the engine light codes on my 2003 Jeep Liberty 3.7L V6,
because vehicle was jerking, by turning ignition on/off 3 times without
starting and P code 0305 displayed (firing order number 5 was not working
so i took coil off while vehicle was running and no change). So it had been a
while since I changed all my spark plugs and coils so I did that. Jeep ran
good for about 100 miles the light came on and vehicle began to jerk again.
So I took it to Autozone and they asked me did I have the check engine reset
after installing plugs and coils. I said no, so they went out and reset the
engine light and the misfire went away. So is it standard procedure to reset
check engine light after installing parts causing vehicle to misfire?
1 Answer
Not how it should work. The CEL should not have come back on after the repair if that is what it was, like a plug or coil in your case. If it did come back on, you have another issue. The fuel injector on the cylinder might be the issue, etc. Read this as probably causes, there are more than a few....https://www.obd-codes.com/p0305

You all have heard me talk about ideas for my daughter's "big girl" room in a couple of posts and I have been putting together an inspiration board for it. I have already bought the bedding from Land of Nod...I loved the mix of damask and lattice work in the pink and green. Her walls are a soft green now so the bedding will go perfectly. We already have a painted bookcase and dresser. All she needs is a new headboard and accessories!

By BGEA | Published: January 31, 2017
Crisis-trained chaplains with the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team are offering a ministry of presence around the memorial site in Quebec just days after a deadly shooting in the provincial capital.
Vigils and memorials have been held throughout Canada in remembrance of the six people who were fatally shot Sunday at a Quebec City mosque. A 27-year-old student has been charged with the murders.
"It's important for us to deploy so we can share the hope of the Gospel there in a community that's overwhelmed with a tragedy such as a mass shooting," said Jack Munday, international director of the Rapid Response Team. "And we're there to really remind them that God loves them and to share God's hope with those that are willing to pray and allow us to minister to them."
French-speaking chaplains are working alongside local churches during this deployment. Quebec, with a population of more than 8 million, is a melting pot of sorts when it comes to religion. Based on a demographics report on the government's website, the area is predominantly Christian. Muslims comprise the third-largest faith group. Aboriginal spirituality, Hinduism and Sikh are among the other religions represented in the report, which also indicated 930,000 Quebecers claim no religious affiliation.
"There are people coming to the memorial site (near the mosque) for support," said RRT chaplain David Dytynyshyn. "They're grieving for the affected families. The general population is sympathizing (with the Muslim community) and seems to be saying: 'Hey, this kind of violence isn't us.'"
This is the first Rapid Response Team deployment in 2017. Last year, RRT chaplains comforted residents after murders in La Loche, SK, and Abbotsford, BC. Chaplains also deployed to Fort McMurray, AB, after the devastating wildfire, and to flood-affected communities in Windsor, ON; Cape Breton, NS; and Lil'wat First Nation, BC.
As well, chaplains from Canada were deployed four times to Europe to comfort terrorist victims after attacks in Belgium, France, and Germany.
In the aftermath of the deadly shooting, people of all faiths have converged at a growing memorial site set up on the snowbanks outside the mosque. It's to this entire community the chaplains will offer a ministry of presence while working alongside local churches. The goal is not only to listen and talk with people who are hurting, but also to encourage the churches in responding during this time of tragedy.
"It's an encouragement to local churches," Munday said. "Many times they don't see where they would have a role when in fact it's critically important that they do have a presence in their community to serve those that have been devastated and are grieving."
Please continue to pray for all affected by this tragedy in Quebec City and for the chaplains as they offer a ministry of presence.

To the editor:
Lebanon is an ancient land with a proud heritage, but it has been an official independent country for only 63 years, and its modern course has been chaotic at best. The Lebanese seem able to create devastating problems for themselves with no help from the outside. The trouble is, Lebanon's neighbors have a nasty habit of butting in.
Since the late 1960s, Israel has invaded Lebanon periodically on one pretext or another. Both Israel and Syria consider parts - or all - of Lebanon as theirs. Their continued interference has weakened the Lebanese government until Lebanon is practically a country in name only. The Israeli invasion of 1982 was directly responsible for the growing strength of the Hezbollah.
Lebanon has been a democracy since 1943 and deserves our support. Instead, we stand by and watch its destruction.
The Israelis claim they combed the airport, seaports, roads and bridges to keep the Hezbollah from taking the kidnapped Israeli soldiers out of the country. That is a ridiculous and transparent lie. Hezbollah guerrillas do not need planes, boats or cars to move two captives out of Lebanon. Heck, they could dress up as Bedouins and move all around the Near East.
Maybe we should ask the Israelis how bombing a Lebanese army base is going to help destroy the Hezbollah. Maybe they can explain why they think bombing Lebanese civilians will cause the Lebanese people to turn against the Hezbollah. The truth is, every civilian death creates more support for the Hezbollah and more pain for Lebanon.

Perspective: Leica CL + Voigtländer Heliar 15/4.5
and even grander seeing experiments re-discovering the joys of film
well done!
perspective with a wide angle is a major challenge & one of the major draw backs of shooting with a digital M as there are no tilt/shift lenses available for this system, perhaps the only attraction of the typ 240 for me
with film of course, the problem persists
I think you managed this problem well, but I'll confess to a strong bias for avoiding such strong perspective, to the my photography's detriment, as well as my back's as I stretch my arms to get the camera high enough to minimize tilt
sometimes this cannot be done & framing with the camera above one's head is very dicey
hope this isn't impertinent, but I wonder why you used such fast film here
loving my Heliar which is of similar vintage to yours, I know that its DOF is very generous on the far end & suspect this one was taken in sufficient light to get enough shutter speed using slower media
of course a major disadvantage of film is the inability to change sensitivity with the flip of a switch
lastly it was a pleasure seeing some real grain for a change ...thanks for sharing this lovely photograph

Find out about who lives in Eddie Murphy's basement, The Game's lawsuit, and more on the TJMS.
CLICK HERE to listen to the full Morning Minute.
This is Chris Paul from the TJMS running through the top stories in roughly sixty seconds with The Morning Minute.
Alicia Keys and her husband, Swizz Beatz are in contract talks to buy Eddie Murphy's mansion estate in New Jersey. The crib went on the market seven years ago for $30 million. But thanks to George Bush destroying the housing market Alicia was able to buy it for only $12 mil, but it's not a done deal yet, Alicia and Swizz Beatz are still fighting a provision in the contract allowing a "mystery tenant" to keep living in the basement.
Rapper, The Game, is being sued by Rapper 40 Glocc, because 40 Glocc claims that during a street fight The Game pulled a gun on him. Since when did Rappers start suing each other over street beef? What happened to making a dish record about the negro and then bum rushing the stage at one of his concerts. And also you can't sue somebody for pulling a gun on your ass when you're named after a gun, 40 Glocc.
The American Academy of Pediatrics is making a push for what they call ouch-less emergency rooms for kids. They want doctors to do whatever is necessary to eliminate pain and suffering for children in the ER. Sounds good, but can somebody else in the medical world also make a push for ouch-less prostate exams? Or at least force the doctors to get a manicure. Thank you in advance.

I believe Johnny Gill is the "mystery tenant." If Ed cares that much, then buy Johnny his own house!!
The best part of this story was the ouch-less emergency rooms.

Belarusian army gets equipped with drones6
- 2.07.2014, 13:03
- 3,423
Belarusian Armed Forces will come into possession of unmanned aviation complexes of two types.
These are the 100 km range drones and tactical low-range drones Berkut-2, they told charter97.org at Belarus State Military Industry Committee.
The first drone type is intended to be used for air intelligence purposes, including television, thermal imaging, laser and radiation intelligence. State tests of the unmanned aviation complex were successfully finished on 30 June 2014 at the base of the 927 center for preparation and utilization of unmanned aviation complexes of the Air Defense and Air Forces.
The peculiarity of the Belarusian product is its self-sufficiency, agility, the ability to complete tasks in the absence of an aerodrome network and the respective infrastructure.
In its turn, the tactical low-range drone Berkut-2 has been developed specifically for Belarus Border Service and will be supplied to the army shortly. The complex was developed by the "AGAT- management systems" company and is intended for optical and electronic intelligence around the terrain at day and nighttime as well as for target designation for shooting machines. Apart from monitoring, detection and automatized object support the Berkut-2 is capable of transmitting real-time intelligence data to command points of motorized infantry units, missile troops and artillery.
Take off is carried out by the means of a catapult, while for landing a parachute is used.
In its tactical and technical features the BErkut-2 drone significantly excels over the previous models: the flying time is at least 120 minutes, tactical application radius is up to 35 km at heights from 100 to 3000 meters.
Apart from the unmanned flying machine, the complex includes a land-based protected laptop control station, task-specific appliances, including a photo-module, infra-red intelligence module and a television intelligence module. The weight of the drone is below 50 kg, the combat unit consists of two persons.
