A leader in Civilization IV
|Halis Planned State
|Final Frontier
|Fav. civic
|Planned Economy
Kanji Takeno grew up during the hardest times of Halis' early struggles, and this has very much shaped his leadership style. His parents were part of the initial wave of settlers, and after their tragic deaths in the early years he was raised by the governor and his family. It was there that he developed his sense of civic duty, and was groomed into a future political leader. Firm and unyielding, he controls all of Halis with an iron fist; ensuring deliveries are on time, economic negotiations are completed, dissidents punished, and storehouses well-stocked. His great loyalty to Halis and desire to see it succeed and flourish has resulted in the Colony meeting with a great deal of success since he assumed the role of governor in 2294 AD.

Wholesale Hair Weave Distributors
The need for quality hair additions is increasing and your hair weaving service can maximize its reputation and versatility with newly-formed worldwide hair weave wholesale distributors.
Large weave distributors,like us, are stocked with hair samples in any length, color and "attitude" required by hair professionals. Body and style is affordable and available with the perfect wholesale weave distributor.
Think about the nature and composition of hair that people wanting hair weaves own and live with. Their hair is usually straight, lifeless and damaged from years of trying to adopt styles that are out of their potential glamour spectrum. The answer is usually additional body, volume and length.
Wholesale hair distributors are currently undergoing a revolution. Instead of stocking warehouses with synthetics, they are vying for real human hair. It's a wonderful thing that people all over the world are recognizing the value in donating hair to others who can benefit from their luscious locks.
By far, the most popular weaves are made from hair of Asian and Brazilian origins. Whether it is current style or the exotic beauty of this hair, Western women want volume and styling versatility which is inherent in hair from the equatorial regions of the world. Distributors recognize that women desire quality, versatility and uniqueness over boring, standard qualities like length and color. This is the primary reason wholesale hair and prepared weave distributors are electing to only invest in and stock hair portions that are real, and contain the elements of the best hair on the planet.
Style and beauty specialists can increase their business appeal, clientele and overall knowledge by forming a lasting relationship with a notable international wholesale hair distributor. The selections of authentic and versatile weaves available will undoubtedly open up a styling business to the mainstream. Weave customers will actively seek out a salon which has the ability to design, create and install the most inventive, original and fashion-coherent weaves possible!
Wholesale hair weave distributors not only provide the most comprehensive styles and partials available, but they provide them at the lowest cost. Professional stylists and designers can guarantee maximized profits and widespread reputations by relying on a wholesale weave distributor.

Louis plc announces that it has entered into an agreement with Star Cruises for the purchase of two of its cruise ships, namely the "Norwegian Dream" and the "Norwegian Majesty" for a total amount of US $ 380 million (Euro 240 million). The purchase price for the first one is US $218 million (Euro 138 million) and US $162 million (Euro 102 million) for the second one.
As per the terms of the agreement, the two cruise ships will be chartered back to Star Cruises until November 2008 for the Norwegian Dream and December 2009 for the Norwegian Majesty. The funding has been undertaken by DVB Bank, the global specialist transportation finance bank.
The purchase of these two cruise ships constitutes the most important renewal and upgrading of the Louis Cruise Lines fleet in its twenty-two year old history and at the same time it further enhances the company's leading position in the Eastern Mediterranean cruise market.
This strategically important agreement implements the previously announced company policy for upgrading its fleet by adding new generation cruise vessels of higher capacity which fit the company's profile of services.
The 51.000 tons Norwegian Dream is 230 meters long and was built in France in 1992. In 1998 it underwent a lengthening operation. It is a new generation cruise ship which can accommodate 2.156 passengers in its 875 spacious cabins and suites, 695 of which are outside and 48 with private balcony. The cruise ship features ten decks, six restaurants, eleven lifts, two swimming pools, Spa & Fitness facilities, a two-tiered show lounge, casino, library as well as an array of bars and other public areas.
The 41.000 tons Norwegian Majesty is 207 meters long and it was built in Finland in 1992. In 1999 the vessel underwent an extensive rebuilding, lengthening and refurbishment amounting to US$53,3 million. It is a new generation cruise ship and can accommodate 1.790 passengers in its 731 spacious cabins and suites, 481 of which are outside. The cruise ship features nine decks, five restaurants, six lifts, three swimming pools, Spa & Fitness facilities, an amphitheatrical show lounge, casino, library as well as a large number of other public areas.
This very important expansion in the Company's cruising operations is expected to lead to substantially higher profitability for 2009 onwards and at the same time will create new prospects for Louis plc internationally
Commenting on this important development, Louis plc Executive Chairman Costakis Loizou stated: "Today's announcement is in line with our strategy for the renewal of our fleet and continuous upgrading of the services we provide. It is a major step forward not only for Louis but for the Mediterranean cruise market as a whole, where we have been particularly active for a couple of decades now. Our decision is consistent with the current trends of the cruise market, the most rapidly growing tourism sector internationally. Louis Cruise Lines commenced its operations back in 1986 with MV Princesa Marissa, placing Cyprus on the European cruise map. The cruise business of the Company grew over the years based on solid and careful steps. The acquisition of MV Cristal last year coupled with the addition of these two new cruise ships strengthen Louis Cruise Lines' position in the international cruise market, thus enabling us to provide an even higher standard of services, which after all is what the Louis brand name stands for, in its seventy-three year-long history".

Good to hear from you.
Glad to see you're still in politics, Mr. Castle. I hope to push the Constitution Party further and further into relevance in modern national politics.
3800 Silent Oak Dr.
No matter the outcome I am still proud to have voted for you Darrell!
When I saw reported President Bush said he was voting for Hillary Clinton after losing to her husband Bill Clinton, then I felt my votes for Ross Perot and my support for a third party movement were substantiated. Remembering the blame I carried for my part in affecting the outcome of those elections and remembering the blame for putting Clinton into the White House makes me laugh in today's context.
All these years I believed when "Hillary's turn" came then I would have no choice but to vote Republican in the effort to undo the damage cause by Ross Perot. Yet ,more and more every day as the election drew closer I came to see that Hillary Clinton's name on my Ohio ballot was not a consequence of voting third party like I did. And then it was easy for me to see she was not going to win my state.
If my Republican friends do not like that I did not throw my vote in solidarity to defeat Clinton, then I would like them to know. I believed I didn't have to vote for Trump to defeat Hillary Clinton. I knew she could not win simply based on what I saw every day with my own two eyes.
I was very grateful for the opportunity to vote for Darrell Castle.
Thanks to all of you. I am very grateful.

Master Yi Build Guide by SamTabouretski
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue

Master Yi Build
Jungle Role
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hello Everyone! i am SamTabouretski and i am making you a guide for master yi. this guide is principally about laning and maybe jungling a little bit. Maybe it'll work for you, maybe it won't. It really depends on how you play master yi. I will not make a complicated guide but just about items and stuff. follow it has you will... i've made 24/2 in summoner's rift :P
First, i recommend Doran's blade. It will give you a little more damage and health.
Second, buy the Berseker's greaves. It will give you movement speed and also more attack speed.
Third, Buy zeal. More movement speed and attack speed.
Fourth, Phantom dancer. +30% crits chance, 15% movement speed and +50% attack speed
Fifth, buy recurve bow. +40% attack speed. You should now have around 1.7 of attack speed.
sixth, buy the infinity edge. +80 damage, +25% crits chance (start with the b.f sword =» pickaxe =» cape)(you may sell doran's blade)
seventh, buy a blood thirster. +60 damage, +15% life steal (you may sell doran's blade)
You can change the order of the items, like buying recurve bow before phantom dancer.
Or buying bloodthirster before infinity edge, if you want some life steal...
Do as you want! :D
Skill Sequence
In the skill sequence, you should start by upgrading alpha strike, because it makes you attack multible enemies from far and deals damage. next, try to upgrade wuju style aswell as highlander. i think meitate is not important, as it does not give alot of life regen and takes time to use (not in middle of combat). Highlander comes really handy when you are fighting and when you are pursuing a fleeing enemy. it gives 50% attack speed and movement speed for a short period of time.
So this was my guide. Though it's short, i've made alot of good games using this build. tell me in the comments if you would fix something or if you have suggestions to make. feel free to message me if you need something.
Thanks for reading!

This special configuration means the equipment is wheeled along its thinner dimension to easily fit through doorways and narrow areas, so this increases the options for use and allows urgent implementation if necessary.
Companies benefit with better occupational health and safety standards for employees without outlaying massive capital for a complicated air conditioning system that is likely to be ineffective in a non-sealed environment.
Fanquip's Mancooler uses electric fan technology to engineer a simple yet clean and logical solution to aid overheated workers.
The fans are powerful yet lightweight and portable so as to be positioned and relocated anywhere that is necessary with ease.
A sturdy and compact frame ensures that the unit does not tip over, and the entire assembly mounted on a very strong skid.
A key option of the unit is its 'hydro blast' attachment which emits a very fine water vapour to quickly and significantly reduce the air temperature in very hot areas - even as hot as foundries.
The area in question can be quite an open site, but because a water mist controls the permeation of the cooling effect, that slight density of the water allows it to function in a non-sealed environment.
The entire 'hydro blast' kit includes a mist ring, nozzles, a shut off valve, filter, mounting brackets and installation instructions.
For durability, Fanquip uses a tough, industrial coating on its products that readily sees them last more than 15 years in the harsh conditions of factories and foundries all over Australia.


text: As I've mentioned in this post, I LOVE Villa Woodbine. I like everything about it – the Spanish style, old beauty and the ambiance, tropical lush garden with large trees. This place is perfect for an old style traditional wedding with a beautiful backdrop. Here I am posting some wedding ideas and details from Marina and Daniel wedding at Villa Woodbine. Their colors were white/golden, classical style reception. The venue added its old charm to their wedding design, and became a part of their wedding story. Enjoy the photos!

Their first meeting at speed dating doesn't go well, but Damian is drawn to Bethany once he sees her onstage a few nights later. From that point on, they're almost inseparable despite Damian's job as a detective and the three jobs Bethany works to support herself and two younger siblings back home. Desert Heat starts off slow with loads of evasive back story setup, but really picks up after Damian drives Bethany home from work. The start of the romance was sweet, but Damian soon proved himself to be jealous and possessive. If Bethany (who also had a jealous streak) talked to a male coworker or didn't disclose all the details of a phone conversation, Damian got all sorts of pissed off. Yes, Bethany was keeping a secret, but his reaction to her desire for some privacy was ridiculous. As for Bethany's secret, the pay off simply wasn't there. Despite Desert Heat being written in third person that goes into the head's of both main characters, her secret isn't revealed until it's revealed to Damian. That was frustrating in itself, but then the secret turned out to be something that was pretty easily explained and only became a big deal because she kept it secret.

The worth of the University of Georgia Foundation's endowment has grown just 1.8 percent over the past three years, according to audit reports released by the non-profit corporation.
The foundation manages UGA's endowment, which provides millions of dollars annually to UGA for such things as student scholarships and salary supplements for professors.
The foundation's net assets were $376.8 million as of June 30, 2003, the end of the 2003 fiscal year. That compares to $370.1 million on the same date three years earlier.
But in the context of the stock market meltdown over the past three years, UGA has done well just to stay relatively even, according to foundation officials.
The value of the foundation's investment portfolio declined about 11.4 percent over the three years, compared to about a 30.4 percent loss in the value of the Standard & Poor Index, a commonly used indicator of stock market performance, said Peter Amann, chairman of the foundation's investment committee.
The recent rebound of the stock market has erased much of the loss in the months since June, Amann said. Contributions and other revenues have also boosted the total value of the endowment, audit records show.
''We will rank very highly in the country on how well our assets have performed,'' he said.
The last three years of slow growth should also be looked at in the context of earlier years in the 1990s, when UGA's endowment grew dramatically along with the stock market, Amann explained.
The foundation's net worth grew from $158.2 million in 1996 to $370.1 million in 2000, more than doubling in four years.
But since then, net assets have changed little - from $370.9 million in the 2001 fiscal year down to $366.9 million in the 2002 fiscal year, then up to $376.8 million in 2003.
In contrast to net assets (total assets minus debts and other liabilities), the audit records for the last year show a big jump in the foundation's total assets, from about $421 million in 2002 to nearly $596 million - a 41 percent hike in one year.
But the big jump in the foundation's assets is to some degree an illusion, because most of the increase is based on borrowed money by a foundation subsidiary, the UGA Real Estate Foundation. The real estate foundation has borrowed nearly $200 million to finance construction projects and real-estate acquisitions.
Liabilities increased from $54.3 million in 2002 to $218.8 million in 2003, mainly because of bond-financed construction projects such as the $100 million residence hall complex now under construction on UGA's East Campus. The UGA Foundation listed $170 million in bonds payable in its 2003 audit.
Foundation expenditures went up faster than contributions - the main source of the foundation's income - during the last three years, but overall revenue from all sources has increased faster than expenses, according to foundation records. The foundation also gets revenue from its investments, from licensing arrangements with credit card companies and other sources.

I have been away from this blog for a long time now.
And on the whole, I've been away from weight loss. My weight got within a few pounds of my highest-ever weight last summer, and 2 years before that it was almost there too. My "stable" weight for the past few years has been solidly in the 220s.
In 2012 I promised myself I'd keep trying, again and again if need be, with a goal to go 44 months of being consistently engaged in managing my weight, counting in 44 day increments.
I had several attempts, all falling short of 44 days. The last of those was in July 2013, when I was still 44. I failed that round at 40 days in, just 4 days shy of my initial target.
My birthday passed, I turned 45, but started again on September 16th 2013.
It's now April 1st 2014 and I'm still going, closing in on 200 days consecutively being checked in on my weight. I'm still counting in 44-day increments, even though I'm now working on my 5th 44 days. I can envision success in reaching 44 weeks, which I'll do in July.
I've lost over 40 pounds.
I'm motivated, engaged, energetic, hopeful.
I've not done a lick of exercise, except some general walking around that is part and parcel of city living. My sleep has generally been poor the whole time, with two kids under three, I'm up at least once during the night every night.
I've been eating low carb, and keeping a cap on protein and calories as I do so. As I've done for the past decade or more, I eat almost exclusively whole foods, and cook from scratch, so my eating could be fairly classified as "Primal".
For several reasons I took the plunge and tried the Paleo AutoImmune Protocol (AIP) beginning March 1st – throwing dairy, eggs, nuts, seeds, nightshades & several other things out of my already gluten-free, grain-free & legume-free diet. It was a big shift, but it's been easier than I expected. I've loved having all the vegetables that are part of eating this way, and about 2-3 weeks in, I started feeling much more energetic and clear-headed than I had in a long time. I've followed the approach laid out by Sarah Ballantyne in her book & on her blog.
I'm not losing much weight though, on the AIP (to be fair, that's not the goal of the AIP diet). But I still have a lot of weight to lose, and I'm still very much motivated to persevere and achieve a healthy weight, so I started looking around for ways to take the nutritional density I think is really helpful in AIP and yet keep losing weight.
Then I started hearing about The Wahls Protocol. Dr Terry Wahls has treated her multiple sclerosis with this diet, and she has a new book out detailing her approach. While I'm lucky not to have MS or other debilitating autoimmune disease, I do have a cancer history & obesity which in her view qualifies me for the most stringent phase of her diet.
So beginning today, I'm transitioning from the AutoImmune Protocol and to Wahls Paleo Plus.
My transition plan is basically to retain the restrictions of AIP until I've tested through the reintroductions of AIP. In parallel, I'm adopting the structure laid out by Terry Wahls, which puts target consumption of different types of vegetables, berries, coconut oil, limits on protein, and instructions to add in other foods like seaweed. There are recommendations to adopt intermittent fasting, and to avoid snacks. Over time I plan to implement other steps as well, but the list of things to manage is already quite long, so April is about the AIP reintroductions and the basic structure of Wahls, and I'll let scarier parts of Wahls, like organ meats, wait for later.
I'm not sure how much I'll be back to blogging about this, but I do want to keep track of my experience someplace, and I've paid the rent here for a while…

text: I went to play one of my Installed WAD games today and it came up saying this game is corrupt and needs to be re-downloaded from the Wii Shop channel. I tried to uninstall it and it seemed to freeze.. after about 20 minutes, I turned off the machine, all looked good. Channel no longer is there, but I went into systems, channel data and everything is blank. NOTHING at all shows up.. as well it just sits there. If I hit the HOME button on the wiimote it gives the option to go back to main menu etc, but if I do, the system freezes. The same thing happens if I go to saved game data. Now here is the strange thing. I can still play my other WAD installed and purchased wiiware games, as well my homebrew channel works, gater gamma works and retail and backup games seem to work. All was fine until this morning after my wife and kid were playing the outdoor challenge game I purchased them for xmas. I went to play one of my fav. WAD isntalled game and the game corrupt message appeared. Again, the system works fine until I go to the system menu and select either game data or channel data. Some background -- Currently running a soft modded (twilight hack) 3.3u menu Homegrew works I use WAD manager to install and uninstall WADS I can still run backup and retail I can still run already installed WAD's Now here is my question, How can I get this system back up and running. My goal is to eventually downgrade to 3.2 and install Starfall. PLEASE HELP>. WIFE IS PISSED ;( Take care.. look forward to some advice.. Thanks all..!

We're excited (and more than a little honored) to report that last week Pivot Marketing picked up a Gold Award and Best in Show at the American Advertising Awards for AAF Indianapolis. For what, you might ask? Mulch, that's what. More specifically, TV spots designed to sell mulch. And that got us thinking, how exactly does a series of ads about something as exciting as mulch make it to the top of the heap? And who even makes commercials about mulch in the first place?
To answer the last question first: Pivot does. Along with a talented video team, great on-screen talent, a local merchant with an eye for what's cool and a willingness to let us close his shop for a day, and—most important—a fearless client that trusts its marketing team.
As with all good concepts, this one was hatched over Chinese food and raised by beer. Let me set the stage:
The year of our Lord 2013. The artisanal revolution was at its zenith. Our lattes were "hand-crafted", our milkshakes "hand-scooped", chicken wings were being "hand-spun", and our meat was "hand-rubbed" while Mumford and Sons played softly in the background. It made all the difference. David Rees was hand-sharpening pencils for clients worldwide. Pinterest was king, pickling was back, we were all super serious, and we were all better for it.
In such a magical and enchanting world, how could a bulk delivery mulch supplier ever hope to survive? By beating the hipsters at their own game, that's how. Small-batch, single-origin, artisanal mulch fashioned specifically for the individual customer at the hands of a true craftsman. A product that understands the weight of history, produced by an artisan who lives it. The very height of authenticity.
But back in the real world—especially the world of Midwestern advertising—a concept with tongue so firmly planted in cheek is easy to kill. It's weird, intentionally silly, heavily reliant on the viewer having a pre-existing knowledge of contemporary culture, and almost certain to result in more than a few people simply saying, "I don't get it." Realizing that all of that's okay is an important moment. It's also where the fun begins. After that, finding just the right talent, a video team skilled enough to make it all seem real, and creating a character that walks a fine line between the believable and the absurd was the easy part.
Once we'd drafted and cut literally hundreds of lines, we had a good starting point for our script, which we promptly threw in the trash. Another important moment. That's when we began asking the difficult questions. Who is Woodrow, really? Where did he come from? What drives him? Is he more of a Carrie or a Samantha? If he was a Pokémon, how many hit points would it take to kill him? If he was a Kardashian, would his name be Koodrow? You see, it's about really getting to know the character. Then the script writes itself. Not really, but it helps.
After a lot of planning and a day of shooting, we had what we needed to spin the yarn. The perfect Woodrow (shout out to Zach Reeves), rented sunlight on a rainy day, a beautifully designed set courtesy of Kristofer Bowman (@upstatemn, formerly known as The Inventorialist), and footage (that we didn't use in the final spots) of our hero taking a mulch shower. The rest is history, including this billboard:
In the end, the credit goes to a client that was willing to take chances and partners that were as invested as we were in creating good work. So thank you, GreenCycle and Bayonet Media. We couldn't have done it without you.

Long Lost: Establishing Parentage for Intestate Succession
Long Lost: Establishing Parentage for Intestate Succession
Today was a big day for 28-year-old Andy. Based on a tip provided by an elderly aunt, he was finally able to locate his long-lost father. Unfortunately he also found out that his father had only hours to live and would be leaving a vast fortune behind. Andy rushed to the hospital, but by the time he got there, his father had already expired without ever meeting Andy.
Andy was grief stricken and severely disappointed. He would never know his father. Yet one question that remained was whether Andy would benefit from the fortune left behind by the decedent. The answer to that question depends on a number factors including:
1. Is Andy in fact the man's biological child?
2. Did the man die intestate?
3. If the man left a will, did he acknowledge Andy in the will?
The first question is a simple matter of fact. Andy was not raised by the deceased man and never met him before. Thus he must prove that he is either the biological or adopted child of the man. Proving that he is the biological child is relatively easy in modern times. Pursuant to state law, Andy is entitled to have a judge order that DNA samples be taken from Andy and the decedent and then compared. If Andy is a genetic match to the decedent, then he is the biological child of the decedent and is entitled to the same rights as any acknowledged biological child.
While it is unlikely that Andy would have been adopted and not aware of the adoption, it is not beyond possibility. To prove adoption, Andy would need to demonstrate that the decedent formally adopted him prior to his death.
The second question is important, because if the decedent died intestate, and Andy was his biological child, then Andy is entitled to a portion of the man's estate under New Jersey's intestacy laws. Depending upon who else survived the decedent (e.g., spouse or other children) Andy might be a primary or sole heir.
Things can get a little more complicated if the decedent left a will. It is possible that although Andy did not know who his father was, the father was in fact aware of Andy. In that event, the father may have provided for Andy in a will or expressly named Andy, but decided to leave him a nominal gift of $1.00 or less. If Andy was completely omitted from the will, and can prove parentage, then he may be entitled to an inheritance under New Jersey's Omitted Children law (NJSA 3B:5-16).
Establishing parentage for purposes of intestate succession is a complex and hazard-fraught process. That's why anyone pursuing or defending a parentage claim should consult with a qualified New Jersey estate planning attorney. To discuss your estate plan with Alec Borenstein Esq., contact him by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 908-236-6457 today. Alec is proud to serve clients in Hunterdon and Union Counties.

Of note -- Larry wore a Cranberries t-shirt in memory of the late Dolores O'Riordan.
Latest U2 Tour News & Rumors
Site news: @U2 Forum is open againPosted: December 02, 2017
After a short break, we are pleased to inform you that the @U2 Forum has reopened for conversation and community!
U2 adds more Experience + Innocence showsPosted: November 30, 2017
The Experience + Innocence tour is expanding again. U2 and Live Nation have announced second shows in both San Jose (May 8, 2018) and Los Angeles (May 16, 2018). That brings the tour to a current total of 24 shows.
Pre-sales for these shows begin next Tuesday, December 5. The public ticket sales start on December 11. See the U2.com news article for more details about pre-sale codes and the like.
Edge: U2 are 'absolutely' touring Australia in 2018Posted: November 26, 2017
It's been seven years since U2 has toured in Australia/New Zealand, but things are looking good for that to change in 2018. In an interview that aired tonight on 60 Minutes Australia, Edge said U2 would "absolutely" be coming back to Australia. In a somewhat odd change of pace, it was Bono who tempered Edge's promise by saying, "We want to go, we really do. And if there's any way we can, we will."
The interview took place last month while U2 was finishing The Joshua Tree Tour 2017 in Brazil. Aside from the comments about touring Australia next year, there's not much news to come out of the interview, but it does have some good stories and quotes from each band member. At the moment, the entire 16-minute feature is on YouTube (but may be removed eventually). The program's Twitter account shared a bunch of clips from the U2 segment, including the comments about U2 returning to Australia.
U2 adds second E+I shows in five North American citiesPosted: November 21, 2017
UPDATE: After we published, a second show was added in Las Vegas, too. Our article below is now updated to include that date.
The Experience + Innocence tour is expanding again. Second shows in five six cities are now showing up on U2.com and/or Ticketmaster.com:
In each case, the second show is scheduled the night after U2's first show in each city.
According to Ticketmaster.com, ticket sales will have a similar schedule to the existing shows: Pre-sales begin next Tuesday, November 28, and general sales the following Monday, December 4 or Tuesday, December 5. Please read the U2.com Help page for details about how pre-sales will work in terms of ticket limits, who's eligible to get/use a pre-sale code, and so forth. We only know what's posted there, and we suggest you check that page multiple times in case updates are posted before ticket sales begin.
These five six new dates are in addition to yesterday's news of a second show in Montreal.
U2 picks up one Billboard Touring Award, misses two othersPosted: November 16, 2017
U2's tours have had a pretty good streak of winning at the annual Billboard Touring Awards. That continued this week, with The Joshua Tree Tour 2017 winning for "Top Boxscore" -- the award is specifically for U2's shows at the Stade de France near Paris on July 25-26, 2017.
But U2 missed out on two other BTAs this year -- Top Tour and Top Draw. Those honors both went to Guns N' Roses' "Not In This Lifetime Tour."
U2 previously won Top Tour and Top Draw in 2005, 2010 and 2011. The band picked up Top Boxscore in 2005 and 2009 for its shows at Croke Park in Dublin on the Vertigo and 360 tours, respectively.
You can see the full list of winners on Billboard.com.
U2 wins Tour of the Year at Los40 Awards in SpainPosted: November 10, 2017
U2 picked up two awards Friday night at the Los40 Music Awards in Madrid. First was the Golden Music Award 2017, a sort of career achievement-type award that was announced earlier this year. The band later picked up a second award, as The Joshua Tree Tour 2017 won for Tour of the Year.
Bono and Adam both gave brief speeches while accepting each award. Bono spoke a bit in Spanish and gave special thanks to U2's Spanish audience. Adam praised U2's crew for the work they do while the band is on tour. They sat at a table with their manager, Guy Oseary, and longtime friend, actor Penelope Cruz.
Here's video from Los40 of U2 collecting both awards.

It's getting harder, y'all!
Week 2 is called the Release Phase. Your body realizes that it is being detoxed and toxins really start to leave your body. Now when I say release, don't think this is a squatty potty kinda of cleanse. It's not. It's a slow and very natural cleanse and while you will pee a lot because of the water you're drinking, that's about all you have to worry about!
It's not uncommon for people to become emotional on this week. The bad food habits we have are brought to the forefront and something you have to confront. Anyone can eat clean for a week. Take it into week two and it becomes harder and your habits begin to rear their ugly heads.
With that said, I felt a nice burst of energy in week 2 and really enjoyed the food! Especially the roasted red pepper sweet potato bisque!
We also had to drink a fiber drink called Detox three times a day. Some people hate
this, but I looked forward to it. It was lemony and a refreshing way to start the morning.
For breakfast each morning I had fruit and there was usually at least one salad throughout the day. My go-to right now is this hearty miso soup. It is so good!! I made a bowl for t
he hubs and even he gobbled it up. Another recipe that will be staying in our clean eating arsenal!
All in all, it was a good week. We built a deck that is calling my name…'Kris. Come drink a beer with me. Cooommmmme drink a beer.' But I've stuck to my guns and just sipped water on this lovely deck.
I'm down a little over 7 pounds and looking forward to killing week 3!

Recently, I learned something entirely new and I'm amazed. No seriously, amazed!
I've been working in Social Media professionally, arguably, since its inception. During that time, I've watched, not only the large successes and failures of other companies but also the seemingly small wins and losses. I've honed my craft,diligently studied the world's top strategists in business and marketing, and labored over presentations and workshops designed to deliver true business value.
I've worked with small and medium-sized business. I've worked with multi-billion dollar companies. We've designed strategies that painstakingly consider every small detail, and found ways to do more with less in order to build a solid social foundation for the long term. We've considered company cultures and maneuvered around the challenges standing in the way of adoption to new ways of working. We've reviewed hundreds of technology platforms, identified strengths and weaknesses, and made recommendations that work for the client's budget.
But all that changes today…
All of that work appears to have been wasted because it is actually surprisingly easy to generate awareness, leads, and sell all the products and services you want.
I've discovered the silver bullet. Would you like to know what it is?
"All you have to do is say it, and believe it"
I couldn't believe it at first either. It sounded like new age mumbo jumbo. But when enough people tell you it's true, it must be true, right?
In this business of Social Media, you will undoubtedly speak to prospects, clients, friends, and sometimes even competitors, that will speak with complete confidence that the solution is really quite simple: "we'll just put it out there, and it will go viral."
"Let's do a contest and have people take selfies. All of the millennials will love it. We'll select 5 winners from the first 20,000 entries"
"We'll make a viral video and once we hit 12 million users, we'll sell it to Facebook."
"Let's just reach out to influencers and have them promote it for us. Let's get Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, and Beyoncé. Actually on second thought, let's skip Taylor Swift, we'll come back to her later if we really need her."
You see! It's just THAT easy. This social media thing is NOT hard. Just say what you want to do and it will happen. And don't forget, because Social Media is free, this is all profit.

Qatar to Generate 2% of Power from Solar by 2020
The amount may seem small considering how much sun rains down on the Middle East, but Qatar has announced it will generate 2% of its power needs from solar energy by 2020. The world's richest country per capita has had an ambitious clean energy agenda the past few years, driven in part by the country's quest to host more high profile international events. Furthermore, oil and natural gas are finite resources. Even if the reserves are enough to last 100 years, the price of fossil fuels will only go up in price over time: and Qatar is better off economically if its people use more renewables at home so the country can export more of its energy abroad. Meanwhile the list of solar projects keeps growing.
According to the Gulf Times, Qatar's emir has reiterated his support for an increase in solar power. Meanwhile, the country has inked a memorandum of understanding with the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) to boost renewable energy production.
Qatar has countless more small steps to take, but watch for this tiny country, along with adjacent United Arab Emirates, to make huge changes within their energy portfolios in the coming years.

Hello my friends. I wanted to take a moment to thank you all for, well, everything. Thank you for reading and commenting (some fantastic comments on yesterday's post! I think I replied to all of you) and guest reviewing and, not at all least for being Patrons. Your patronage has made it possible for me to review a lot of cool stuff and has helped me report on very cool events.
I'm going to be giving a talk in NYC in March and in April I will be flying out to San Francisco to participate in Queers & Comics 2017 with brilliant creators and writers and academics. And so, I am turning to you hoping to entice you to become part of my Okazu Patreon, with a little added incentive. ^_^
As a Patron of $5/month or more you get a badge that proclaims that you are an Okazu Hero or Superhero. At $25/more you get a nifty little omamori I made up special for Okazu no miko, which was the super dorky, yet loving, title I came up with for that level. ^_^
When you, as a Patron, have supported us for $25, no matter what the level, you are entitled to your own personal Yuri chat with me. I've done this a few times with Patrons at a couple of levels and it's always a blast. This year, we're also adding something a little different.
As you know, every winter I put together eclectic collections of Yuri manga, toys, random items, candy, utter crap and other cool things and hold Lucky Box sales. This year, I've got a couple of boxes, jam -packed full of manga, magazines, candy, toys, stickers and random crap and I'm giving them away to Okazu Patrons. I'll be holding two Lucky Box Raffles special for Okazu Patrons.
One raffle is especially for current Patrons. (I loathe contests that exclude current customers. Aren't they just so vexing?) I'll be emailing them shortly about that.
And, this is where you come in – I will be offering one exclusive Lucky Box raffle entry for new Patreon supporters who join before February 28, 2017.
Become a Patron at any amount and you'll be entered into a raffle to win a exclusive Okazu Lucky Box. People who have gotten them in the past have described them as "Amazing…in a couple of ways," "Full of strange stuff, but fun!" and "I love it!" I always cram the box as full as possible.
Disclaimers & Restrictions
Sorry, but there has to be a few restrictions.
You *must* be over 18 to receive a Lucky Box. I don't police what goes in it and some magazines and manga are likely to be for not-children readers. I may throw in a lolly for your kid, or for you if you don't want to share.
Lucky Box winners must be from the continuous 48 states. I use US Postal Service flat rate boxes, which means that I can cram a ton of stuff in the things, but it also means there's limits on where they can go. However, if you subscribe from overseas, I will figure something out to thank you. I have really cool postcards and I'm not afraid to use them. ^_^
In conclusion, please consider helping me get to Queers & Comics, help pay Guest Reviewers and help keep up the work we do and the fun we have here at Okazu by subscribing on Patreon.

Episode One
Lights, Camera, Action
We arrive in Los Angeles at the Sheraton hotel. Actually it's in Burbank and it's pretty nice. I'd never been to Burbank CA before. Apparently it's where all the big shot studios are.
We get there, and there are tons of huge cameras, and at least 200 crew members working the show. I guess I had never really thought about the behind the scenes stuff…because you never see it right?!
Well, I had to wear a microphone the whole time, and there were big lights and cameras everywhere….which was REALLY WEIRD. At first, I couldn't stop staring directly into the cameras. The producers had to remind me several times, "Uhh Raina, you need to stop looking in the cameras and interacting with the camera crew". WHAT!?
Now think about it, if you have three extremely large cameras in your face and a microphone box shoved somewhere in the back of your pants, you would naturally tend to be slightly or extremely distracted. However, I learned quickly to get passed this.
It's crazy to really see and realize how big of a deal a TV show is.
There are so many people behind the scenes that have stuff they need to get done. The camera crew, sound crew, lighting crew, talent (Tyra, the J's etc.), not to mention all of the assistants trying to herd us girls around and get us where we are supposed to be.
The most difficult part of it all is, right when we get there, our cell phones are confiscated as well as any other form of communication with the outside world (to make sure we don't reveal information about the show or our whereabouts). Well, as any normal girl, I reeeeeallly need my cellular device.
Taking Tests
Right when we arrived, we all had to take personality and mental health tests. This was odd. I'd never taken a mental health test before. My most favorite question on the test; "Do you believe there is someone living in your bathroom trying to kill you?" I'm thinking, "Is this for real?!!!" Anyway, I finish all of the tests which took about 3 hours and then I went to bed.
The next day was the physical exam. I was dreading this. Am I going to have to get nakey? Don't worry, I didn't! It was the usual, height, weight, blood test, pee in a cup kind of thing. Now that I had conquered all this, I was ready to meet Tyra for the first time.
Two days of anticipation was just killing me! All of the 32 semi-finalists walk into this big black room. I'm looking around thinking, "What are we doing here?" There are seven monster cameras around us so something big is about to happen. I brace myself . . . but not enough. All of a sudden Tyra Banks pops into the room looking gorgeous as usual. I immediately start jumping up and down like a four year old at an ice cream store.
As I watched the show last night and saw this, all of the memories came flooding back to me. Alasia threw herself on the floor; girls where screaming everywhere; I'm thinking, "Pick meeeee!"
Only Three Poses
The whole theme of this first episode is Tyra's "MyFiercePage.com". So Tyra lets us know that there there is going to be a cut soon where some of us will be eliminated and receive a "declined" friend request on her MyFiercePage. So, all of a sudden the J's pop out looking suave and fine as they always are. Again, screams, and shrieks fly. Tyra lets us all know that Mr. J is going to be helping us with a photo shoot for our own MyFiercePages and Miss J will be helping us do our "Netwalk".
After eating some lunch, one by one, we all get to meet up with Mr. J and the photographer. Right away Mr. J lets me know that I only get three shots. Now, they didn't show this part (thank goodness) but I was so nervous for some reason I was shaking….and perhaps sweating…a lot. Mr. Jay says, "Raina, you look nervous…are you nervous?" My response, "YEP!!!" So, I took my photographs, which I don't believe were all that rad and left the room. My thoughts immediately after are, "I COULD HAVE DONE SO MUCH BETTER!"
Be Nice to the Runway
Next up: The Catwalk with Miss J.
All 32 of us pile into a room where we walk up and down the catwalk showing Miss J what we've got. This was definitely terrifying seeing as you are doing this in front of the best runway walker (pretty much EVER) and 31 other girls who are staring at you. Somehow I pushed those nerves away and my competitiveness took over. I wasn't about to get eliminated.
They didn't show this part on the show last night but Miss Jay told me that I walk so hard I make the ground shake and that I needed to be a little nicer to the runway. Oops!
However, it's better than being told:
- "you act like you don't have arms"
- "you act like you don't own your left leg"
- "you walk like you are a stripper"
- "are you on your way to killing someone?"
- "you look like a bobble-head doll"
- and my personal favorite, "do you even own heels?"
So, I guess my critique could have been worse. After this, we got a chance to walk by ourselves in front of the cameras alone, without Miss J or the girls to examine us. I did my best, and then hoped for even better.
Robot in a Bikini
That evening, we all got into our bikinis and waited to enter THE JUDGING ROOM. Now, let me tell you...walking in front of at least seven cameras, by yourself, in front of Tyra Banks, the J's, and at least 200 other people on set . . . with no music . . . is terrifying. Once again, I feel the perspiration. Great, now I'm sweating. So, what do I do? ROCK IT. I walk into the room in that tiny weenie leopard bikini and pretend I'm on a Victoria's Secret runway because I know confidence is key . . . even though I definitely wasn't feeling all that confident.
Then I was asked the question: "Tell me about yourself". REALLY…what am I supposed to say? Because whatever I am about to say could be possibly be broadcast all over the country, and many others. Here goes Raina, don't screw this up.
"Well, I am a two time national champion volleyball player and extremely competitive. I was beat up in middle school a couple times and I know how to do a great robot dance" ….WHAT DID YOU SERIOUSLY JUST SAY YOU IDIOT!!! And then I froze.
"Well Raina, let's see that robot dance". So, yes . . . I did the robot for about a whole two minutes that seemed to last for at least a half hour. No, they didn't show any of this, and I thank Tyra and the CW for sparing me (but now you know). After that grand ol' time, all of the girls went to bed.
The next morning was THE MORNING. We all knew what was coming. ELIMINATION (Dun Dun DUNNNNN). And if you are wondering, no I didn't sleep at all that night, but I did have a dance party in my room alone. We get up in the morning, eat some breakfast, and are brought into a room where we see television screens with each of our faces on them. I am frantically looking for my face. YES IT'S THERE!!! But so is everyone else's. WHAT IS GOING ON?
Pending or Denied?
The J's let us know that we have to go touch the screens and if it says, "pending" that means that we are still in the running. If it says, "Denied" . . . well . . . then you are denied. I run up to my screen and stop for a good few moments. I'm thinking, "What happens if I press it and it says 'denied'? Am I going to cry? No Raina! You can't cry! Be tough. You got this far. So many girls dream of getting this far. Just smile and be polite. You did great. ...ready ...set ...push ...PENDING!!!!!!!!
They didn't show this, but I screamed SO LOUD . . . probably too loud. I AM ON TO THE NEXT ROUND. Now there are only twenty of us.
Imitate Your Favorite
Next up: photo shoot. We come into a room with a rack of clothes, a bunch of heels, three tables covered in hair products and makeup, and of course Mr. J. We are told that we only have a few minutes to change, and prepare ourselves for this photo shoot. The theme of the photo shoot is "Pick your favorite supermodel, and imitate her". So, I pick Adriana Lima.
First of all, the girl is gorgeous and she knows how to demand attention on a runway, and secondly, I love how confident she is. Suddenly, I gather up a whole lot of confidence and think of the poses I want to do (since each girl only gets six poses). What is with this whole (only a couple of shots) thing? A little stressful if you ask me. You have to nail those shots and impress Mr. J because after all, he is the eyes and ears of Tyra. So, I whip out my fiercest Adriana Lima poses and get great reviews from J. "I can actually see those poses in a Victoria's Secret Magazine", he says. My thoughts, " REALLLLYYY!!?!?!?!?!?!?!" I can't believe it. I nailed the shoot!
Alexandra cracked me up. Cindy Crawford . . . the mole! Quality.
But Tatiana...when I heard her say Megan Fox I wanted to press the rewind button, run over to her and say, "p.s…..Megan Fox is definitely not a supermodel in case you are thinking of picking her", then RUN back and press play again. However, unfortunately we don't have this ability in the game of life and….she said it.
I really thought Gina (the plus size girl with the long beautiful hair) did a great job on her poses.
Well anyway, the photo shoot is now over and we are told that next time we'd be seeing Mr J is in panel.
All 20 of us walk into the room . . . completely silent. No one knows what to expect. I have a good feeling in my stomach because Mr. J gave me a great critique on my photo shoot, but at the same time I am remembering that Miss J wasn't the biggest fan of my runway walk. Then all of a sudden Tyra announces that only TWELVE of us are going to be picked. "...WHAT?"
Please Tyra pick me!!! First name is called…..not me. Second name is called…..not me. "Stop freaking out Raina, there are still ten names to go!" Third name called….not me. Fourth name called, "RAINA!" I had a feeling right after Tyra called Simone's name that she would be calling me because I saw Tyra look at every single girl BESIDES ME. I'm thinking, "She is so about to call my name." And she did! My response, "THAT'S MY NAME!" I run down the steps, jump off of them and run over to the winners circle and commence jumping up and down.
After watching this part on TV last night, I'm thinkng, "Raina…you are such a goober".
The rest of the names get called and we are told that we will be meeting the 13th girl when we get to New York. "Who is this girl?! Competition?"
I can't believe I just made it to a finalist on America's Next Top Model . . . I have watched this show since cycle 1 AND NOW I AM ON IT! WOAH!!
So, I get to go home for one week to pack and get ready for the big NYC. Leaving was horrible. I cried so hard. Knowing I wouldn't get to talk to my family or Kristof for however long I'd be there. It just killed me. But, I got on the plane. We all arrive in New York and are cell phones…CONFISCATED, again. I knew it had to be done and it was legitimate protocol…but it KILLED ME. I felt naked.
Anyway, we are walking down the streets close to Times Square. I have never been to this city before so I am like a kid in a candy store. WHAT TO LOOK AT?!!? All of a sudden, out of nowhere, the one and only fabuliciousness Perez Hilton pops out and announces to us that we will be visiting Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. He gives us a tour of the museum and when we get to the statue of Tyra, she pops out on the balcony above us!!!! TYRA IS HERE! I can't believe it. It's all starting now. I'm in NYC with Tyra Banks, and I AM going to be America's Next Top Model.
All of a sudden Tyra announces that we are about to meet the 13th girl. My thoughts: "Ummm . . . hmm." Ren pops out! In my head, all I could think about was "Competition!"
Next announcement by Tyra: MAKEOVERS. My thoughts: "NO! MY HAIR! PLEASE DON'T SHAVE MY HEAD!!!" As we walk out the door of the museum we see a very sleek, white limo waiting for us. "I feel like a celebrity!" We pull up to the Sally Hershberger Salon and are greeted once again by the glamorous Mr. and Miss J, as well as Sally Hershberger herself.
We get in the salon and get started. Sally comes up to me, "She is too pretty, we need to do something fierce and drastic…I think I am going to Mohawk this." I'm thinking, "I'M GOING TO CRY RIGHT NOW….but wait, if I cry they will totally do it because it will make really great television. But if I agree to it and act like I like the idea, they probably won't." What I actually say is, "Alright, let's do this. Dye it pink too". Obviously they didn't, and saved my long locks. They're dark now.
Most of my friends and family say that they like it better blonde, but I do feel more like a model now. It's drastic. They liked the idea of very pale skin against very dark hair and eyebrows. THANK GOODNESS they didn't touch the brows. They are my signature! So, here I am, with dark brown hair, looking and feeling like a real model, on ANTM Cycle 14 in what's about to be, a very fierce competition.
Next week: nude photo shoot . . . for the world to see. Yep, you heard it. I just started sweating right now…no joke. My thoughts: "Nooooooooo!!!"
See ya next week March 17th!

I wonder if that is everywhere. Must check it out! Thanks!
Posted via mobile.cafemom.com
Jim has always had Day Old Bread for sell. Don't know about the free. I worked for him before it was a chain in the mid 80s and the extra loafs that were made up were sold the next day as Day Old Bread. I'm sure price varies per store since he franchised (and it has been years now) but that is one of the things he has always done.....

There's a lot of talk these days about the death of print media.
