I Was on the Throne
I Was on the Throne
Your objective in this point and click puzzle game is to puzzle your way through the bizarre world and try to get back home. It is a weird point and click puzzle game in which you are sucked up to your computer after you have run an update. Nothing is handed to you on a silver platter in I was on the Throne. In fact, there are no types of serving dishes anywhere. All of the puzzles are those where figuring out the aim of each one is a puzzle itself, and once you figure out the how, the rest is rather easy. The story is left more or less wide open to interpretation. Enjoy!
Nekra Psaria 2
Nekra Psaria 2
Your goal in this scary point and click game about strange dark world called Nekra Psaria is to find clues and special tools in dark caves. Look closely to find new items and use them to escape. The large size of the world does mean it's possible to get lost, though, and the bizarre puzzles can be a roadblock if you can't get in tune with the game's dreamy logic. Conversely, if you do grok it, it's almost too easy and short. Good luck!
Hot Throttle

Will you win enough money to take your dream all the way to the plastic surgeon and become a real car? You need to at least overcome any aversion to weirdness you might have and give this game a try. It's like watching a car wreck. Only the cars are people who think that they're actually cars. Wrap your mind around that and have fun!

Course Description
The development and rise of new forms of electronic media during the 20th century like radio, cinema, and television have irrevocably had a more profound effect on art, design, and culture than any other media past or present. Through readings, screenings and discussions, students in this course will explore the significant moments, theoretical foundations and current trends within electronic/new media art and culture. In particular, we will focus on the themes and concerns relevant to new media artists, including the relationships between technology and culture, and the changing ways in which our culture consumes and produces media. Students will design and realize works of art utilizing tools and techniques appropriate to these concepts, potentially including digital imaging, animation, sound, video, software and net art.
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course students will achieve:
- Understanding: Through a combination of writings, presentations, and contributions to in-class discussions, students display an understanding of the social, political, personal, and aesthetic issues, as well as a comprehension of the history and function of computer hardware and software essential to New Media Art production.
- Technical Competencies: Students demonstrate a reasonably high degree of competency of technical execution appropriate to works of art utilizing a variety of free and open source software tools and processes associated with the New Media Art genre. Students will also learn the basics of programming.
- Critical Thinking: Students demonstrate, in their artist statements and group critiques an awareness of the historical and contemporary concerns in New Media Art, and can assess critically their own contribution to the genre.
- Art-making: Students make works of art that reflect a high level of critical thought, resourcefulness and intentional decision-making with regard to their use of technological media. The art works show a considered balance between content, concept and form.
Class structure
Each 2.5 hour class will consist of 1.5 hours of discussion around various texts and a 1 hour technical workshop and work time. Bring your laptop to class for workshops.

San Bernardino Valley decided to join the Shootout along with Cerritos today. It will be fun to see how San Bernardino looks this year as they missed the State Tournament/Elite 8 last year and are sure to be chomping at the bit to make up for that. They will be taking on NoCal Sierra College.
Home team Cerritos also missed State Tournament/Elite 8 so they have pounded on the talent and will be taking on at very talent Barstow who is loaded with foreign players who can really play basketball. Should be a fun game.
LA Pierce is said to be loaded with big athletic players. They will be tough especially with the unique style of basketball they play.
Finally, AVC, with two straight years of State Tournament/Elite 8 under their belt, will be taking on big strong San Diego Mesa who is said to have the best post man in JUCO this year. Heard he is playing with a broken finger but they have talent. Add to that, AVC is also will be playing Sequoias College from central California who is always a hand full with their controlled half court style.
Should be a fun day.

Our new working paper Foundational liveability: rethinking territorial inequalities is a response to political demands in Wales and requests from academic colleagues: "If the main steam has per capita GVA and GDP, where are our simple, intelligible foundational measures" Hence this paper about household residual income and foundational liveability. This incidentally undermines the idea of a successful or failed region with a unitary character because most regions are liveable for some types of household and unliveable for others. It also makes the connection to financialised capitalism because linkages to wealth accumulation are at least as important as earned income.The empirics in the paper show how this reframes the UK regional problem because we need policies for taxing unearned income and wealth in London as much as for boosting the Welsh productive economy.

Report on Manchester
Our most recent report in August 2018 From developer regeneration to civic futures Report sets Manchester's current choices in a historical context and argues that the city is at the end of a trajectory of developer led regeneration. And needs a new politics for foundational service provision which would once again tackle issues of collective consumption but do so in a more participative way which involves citizens. This report on the city region of Manchester is part of a broader ongoing concern with regional policy.
New Book
This new book from the foundational economy collective will be the go to source for engaged citizens, active practitioners and critical academics beyond who want to know more about the foundational economy concept and its relevance to the politics of progressive reform.
The foundational encompasses material utilities like water, gas and electricity and providential services like education, health and care. The book explains how the material and providential matter economically and politically because they are the collectively consumed infrastructure of everyday life, the basis of well being and should be citizen rights. The emphasis on citizenship is an important new development in foundational thinking.
From this point of view, the foundational economy has a history which began heroically and ends in degradation. In the century after 1880 national and local state action built up the supply of foundational services right across Europe and North America. Since 1980 their systems of provision have been undermined by state neglect. This is variably combined with privatisation, outsourcing and market choice which import the unsuitable business models of financialized public companies and private equity.
The book takes up the political challenge of thinking about how we can have a better future. It does not recommend specific policies but proposes broad principles for re-building the foundational which could mobilise old and new social actors in broad political alliances; ask the citizens what they want; reinvent taxation; lean on intermediary institutions; and do not assume the state is benign and competent.
The book is relevant to all of Europe and beyond and will be available as an accessibly priced paper back in three languages. MUP, publisher of our Manchester Capitalism series, leads in English in September 2018 with German and Italian editions to follow from Suhrkamp and Einaudi in 2019. Before you buy the book, do read our introductory chapter on this web site which explains the argument of the book here.
Mick Moran 1946 – 2018
Mick Moran died suddenly after a heart attack on 3rd April. This was completely unexpected and it is still difficult to accept the death of a collaborator who had such energy and was already up for the next project. He had played a key role in the development of the political dimensions of foundational thinking in our collective, most recently by introducing citizenship arguments And he had shared drafting duties on much of our recent output so that Foundational Economy will be his last and our next book, when published in the autumn. Those who met Mick as a modest, wise old man often did not realise there was a remarkable back story which is summarised in our obituary. He was the child of migrants who had been born into rural Irish poverty; then had a distinguished career as a political scientist from which he retired to join us in our foundational project. Our intellectual loss is great because this was a life interrupted when Mick was still at the peak of his creative and innovative powers. But we also remember that this was a life well lived and know that the values of imagination of the Foundational Economy book are a fitting memorial.
Read our obituary here.
Annual colloquium 2018
This yeart's colloquium will take place on the 5th and 6th of September 2018. The first day will be academic led at Cardiff university. As well as the usual papers and presentations, we will include a discussion of how to develop the European network of academic researchers. The second day will be practioner led at Ebbw Vale and will include reports back from the Welsh experiments at Swansea and Ebbw Vale.
Anyone wishing to attend should, in the first instance contact Joe Earle, the organiser at email@example.com .
Swansea Bay report 2017
Swansea Bay report 2017
In June 2017 foundationaleconomy.com and CREW (Centre for Regeneration Excellence in Wales) launched What Wales Can Do a new report on policy for the Swansea Bay city region. This new report follows up the earlier 2015 report What Wales Can Be and adds new evidence, arguments and framing. The argument in this new report is for an asset based approach to developing the foundational economy in the region. The starting point is two observations about the limits of the main stream policies and policy making. The Swansea Bay City Deal which was signed off in Spring 2017 focuses on next generation industries which will never be volume employers; and more fundamentally, government (local, Welsh and national) does not know what to do in key policy areas like small business support and adult care. So what we need is a coalition of state and non- state actors to undertake scaleable experiments. These would aim to break down the barriers between economic and social policy and increase tangible welfare (not market incomes measured by GVA per capita). The report can be downloaded here. This is now being followed up with local funded experiments in Swansea Bay Blaenau Gwent.

Sounds like a good book title, doesn't it? But it's really just a concept, at least, for now.
See, emotion does have inertia. If you're used to thinking of yourself as inadequate in some area, for example, it takes serious work to overcome that and get your thoughts working in a different direction. The emotion at rest tends to stay at rest; the emotion in motion (okay, now we're rapping, go with it!) tends to stay in motion.
If you can force yourself to think about your ways as good ways, your heart as a good heart, your time well spent, your efforts worth the work… then once you get started, it takes less work to keep feeling that way. Give it a try.

Josephine Halvorson's paintings are painted over the course of a single day but they hold our gaze for much longer.
*Photo above: Josephine Halvorson, Heat 2, 2014. Image courtesy the artist
March 26 - May 31, 2015
Slow Burn gathers a selection of twenty-three oil paintings by Josephine Halvorson, a contemporary artist who orients traditional approaches to painting towards an experiential and environmental art practice. Halvorson paints outdoors, en plein air, in locales across America and the world, translating found objects into images and creating a connection between artist, object and place. Exploring the world at hand, she uncovers the material and local history embodied in post-industrial machines and in architectural structures and surfaces. Halvorson's use of color, wet-on-wet handling, and insistence on painting for uninterrupted periods lend immediacy and intensity to the act of perception. The paintings sustain the slow, absorbed looking suggested by the exhibition's title.
"My practice is one of understanding an object in time: its history, its function, its place in the world, its environment—and my own relationship to it," the artist has said. Halvorson's twenty-three portraits of the inanimate world bear witness to a haptic encounter between herself, her subject, the material of paint, plus time.
Josephine Halvorson: Slow Burn and the Main Gallery exhibition, Alternative Modernisms look to expand our sense of the contemporary through artists who negotiate the past, intervening in pictorial traditions and accounts of history.
Curated by Cora Fisher, SECCA Curator of Contemporary Art.

The car is longer, the window spacing is different, slight interior differences, and other minor details set this off from the "typical" NYC cabooses. Where did the 1941 date come from? I suspect it's actually drawn a bit after that.

BEIJING, Oct. 12 (Xinhuanet) -- CNN recently selected 14 typical Chinese dishes that "are almost guaranteed to wake thehomesick bug in most mainland Chinese living or traveling abroad."From Spicy crayfish to Yan Du Xian Soup, from Guilin rice noodles to Stinky tofu, "whileingredients are easy to transport, feelings of home aren't. Nor are certain specialties thatonly taste their best in the place they were born," CNN said.
14 delicious dishes, have you ever tasted one of them?
Islamic lamb kebabs with cumin, teppanyaki-style squid with five-spice sauce, gigantic "swords" of mind-blowing spicy chicken wings, grilled fresh oysters, fried pork tenderloinslices and razzle-dazzle exhibitions of vegetables-on-sticks.
The mini-lobsters are simmered in broth with chilies and spices. From spring to earlyautumn, it's ritual to have a night out cracking and eating crayfish with friends or family.
In China, a country closely linked to Mongolian nomads, heavy and hearty lamb hot pot ishugely popular, especially in the north during the bitterly cold winter.
Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles
In what's usually a makeshift open kitchen, formidable Islamic noodle masters beat, foldand pull a flour-based dough, turning it into hair-thin noodles faster than most people candecide what to order.
Yan Du Xian is a nutritious soup known as the great comfort food of the Yangtze RiverDelta in early spring.
Fried, braised, streamed or grilled -- stinky tofu is delicious no matter how it's prepared. Stinky tofu is most popular in Hunan Province in central China, the Yangtze River Deltaregion (especially Shaoxing) and Taiwan.
For Shanghainese, autumn isn't complete without a steamed, roe-laden hairy crab.
In a bowl of duck-bone stock, duck blood is presented in beancurd-like cubes together withvermicelli, fried firm bean curd and bits of duck organs, such as liver and gizzard.
There are a variety of ways to cook bullfrogs in different parts of the country, but shui zhu -- a cooking technique from Sichuan cuisine -- has gained widespread popularity.Pre-fried bullfrogs are poached in oil packed with strong spices, such as chili peppers andflower peppers, then served in a larger bowl and garnished with fresh coriander.
Spring chickens are boiled till tender, then chopped up and served with a dipping sauce.
Located in southern China among clear rivers and Karst Mountains, Guilin isn't onlyfamous for its heavenly landscape, but bowls of refreshing rice noodles topped withpreserved long beans, peanuts, bamboo shoots and spring onions.
Harbin red sausage
Harbin red sausage is a hugely popular cold cut in China. People get it from delicatessensand eat it on its own as a snack, with bread as a picnic food or cook it with vegetables (especially cabbage).
For this ever-popular autumn snack, chefs fry chestnuts (which are cut open) in anenormous wok filled with black sand and granulated sugar. When properly done, they'resoft, sweet and extremely fragrant.
Sold by the stick, the dessert-to-go tastes great and looks greater -- bright red haws lineup on a skewer in auspicious shapes, their sugary outer layers glimmering in the light.

If you're in or near eastern Ontario, one of the best places for star gazing is Charleston Lake Provincial Park near Brockville, Ontario. Amateur star gazers flock to this park's unique Astronomy Field. Terence Dickinson, a famed Canadian astronomer leads Star Gaze, an annual astronomy event here every year. It's a chance to learn some backyard astronomy with skilled astronomers as your guide. This year's Star Gaze takes place on August 20.
Bats are the earth's only flying mammals and vital to a healthy environment, yet they remain mysterious and often misunderstood. At Rock Point Provincial Park, on Lake Erie, park staff hope to dispel many bat myths with a Mysterious and Misunderstood bat workshop. On July 8 at 8:30 pm special guests from the Ministry of Natural Resources will join park staff and demonstrate how a mist net and acoustic detector are used to net and band bats before their release back into the wild. Craigleith Provincial Park near Collingwood will also host "Bats in the Afternoon & Evening" on July 19. Activities begin with bat games and crafts in the afternoon followed by an evening slide show and live bat catch and banding demonstration.
Near summer's end, Monarch butterflies begin to migrate south to Mexico. Darlington Provincial Park is part of a greater Monarch conservation program and tags Monarch butterflies at its annual migration festival held in early September. This popular event attracts young families who are encouraged to help with the tagging. Even though up to 100 million Monarchs migrate every fall, this butterfly is threatened by pollution. Tagging the Monarchs helps to track their numbers. This year's Monarchs & Raptors Weekend at Darlington Provincial Park runs September 4-5.
If you plan to be in Algonquin Provincial Park anytime this summer and are looking for a unique way to experience the park, drop by the Algonquin Art Centre at km 20. Every day, visitors of all ages can try one of the centre's daily art activities from $2-$25. Add your painted art to a canoe mosaic on display at the centre (seen in this canoe photo), build your own mobile with wood pieces or sculpt in clay. You can also paint your own miniature paddle, birchbark canoe, or piece of Canadian Shield. If you're looking for a more substantial artistic pursuit, try one of the centre's lakeside art classes. Led by local artists, these sessions are nominally priced and include a variety of mediums. Classes are held Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays throughout the summer.
Who'da thunk it? A "Learn to Build a Dry Stone Wall" workshop in an Ontario Park. But that's exactly what is planned for this August at Ferris Provincial Park. The Campbellford-area park is planning a two-day workshop on how to build and repair dry stone walls. Registration is $250 with lunch and free camping in the park is included. For more information, see www.dswa.ca

I'm a self-taught artist and my improvement may be slow but I'm doing all that I can to improve at my own pace.
So this blog is where I shall post most of my art in.
Feel free to browse and send me a message. I'd love to hear from you~ <3
Pleased to meet you and I hope you enjoy your stay!

We happened to have Twist Up but you can use Ginger Ale, 7 Up or Sprite if you want.... just something clear.
Some kind of flavored syrup of your choice. We had raspberry and vanilla and we tried one on Thursday and the other on Friday.
You also need whipping cream unwhipped to add to the beverage and then whipped cream for topping.
Put your flavoring in as much as you like between 2-5 tablespoons or so.
Add soda to fill cup almost full
then add your whipping cream... about 1/4 cup or less if so desired.
Finally, top with a dollop of whipped whipping cream.
I served ours in a chilled glass and we all got a straw to enjoy it with.

4 dead as Hurricane Florence drenches the Carolinas
WILMINGTON, N.C. (AP) — Blowing ashore with howling 90 mph (155 kph) winds, Florence splintered buildings, trapped hundreds of people and swamped entire communities along the Carolina coast Friday in what could be just the opening act in a watery, two-part, slow-motion disaster. At least four people were killed.
Forecasters warned that drenching rains of 1 to 3½ feet (30 centimeters to 1 meter) as the hurricane-turned-tropical storm crawls westward across North and South Carolina could trigger epic flooding well inland over the next few days.
As 400-mile-wide (645-kilometer-wide) Florence pounded away at the coast with torrential downpours and surging seas, rescue crews used boats to reach more than 360 people besieged by rising waters in New Bern, while many of their neighbors awaited help. More than 60 people had to be rescued in another town as a cinderblock motel collapsed at the height of the storm's fury.
Florence flattened trees, crumbled roads and the assault wasn't anywhere close to being over, with the siege in the Carolinas expected to last all weekend. The storm knocked out power to more than 890,000 homes and businesses, according to poweroutage.us, which tracks the U.S. electrical grid.
North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper called Florence an "uninvited brute" that could wipe out entire communities as it grinds across the state.
Maria's death toll climbed long after rain stopped
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Ramona Gonzalez did not drown when Hurricane Maria drenched Puerto Rico. She did not die in the tempest, or from destruction wrought by the storm's 154 mph (248 kph) winds.
Instead, this disabled, 59-year-old woman died a month later, from sepsis — caused, says her family, by an untreated bedsore.
In all, the storm and its aftermath took the lives of unfortunates like Gonzalez and thousands of others, many of whom could have been saved with standard medical treatment. This was a slow-motion, months-long disaster that kept Puerto Ricans from getting the care they needed for treatable ailments, even as President Donald Trump lauded his administration's response.
A year after Maria roared across the Caribbean, reporters for The Associated Press, the news site Quartz and Puerto Rico's Center for Investigative Journalism have put together the most detailed portrait yet of the agonizing final days of victims of the storm, interviewing 204 families of the dead and reviewing accounts of 283 more to tell the stories of heretofore anonymous victims.
Trump cast doubt on the storm's widely accepted death toll Thursday, tweeting that "3000 people did not die" when Maria hit after a near-miss by Hurricane Irma in September, 2017. He said the death count had been inflated "by the Democrats in order to make me look as bad as possible," by adding unrelated deaths to the toll from causes like old age.
Manafort pleads guilty, will cooperate with special counsel
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort agreed Friday to cooperate with the special counsel's Trump-Russia investigation as he pleaded guilty to federal crimes and avoided a second trial that could have exposed him to more time in prison.
The deal gives special counsel Robert Mueller a key cooperator who steered the Trump election effort for a pivotal stretch of the 2016 presidential campaign. The result also ensures the investigation will extend far beyond the November congressional elections despite entreaties from the president's lawyers that Mueller bring it to a close.
It is unclear what information Manafort is prepared to offer investigators about the president or that could aid Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. But his involvement in key episodes under scrutiny, and his leadership of the campaign at a time when prosecutors say Russian intelligence was working to sway the election, may make him an especially valuable witness.
The agreement makes Manafort the latest associate of Trump, a president known to place a premium on loyalty among subordinates, to admit guilt and work with investigators in hopes of leniency.
Manafort had long resisted the idea of cooperating even as prosecutors stacked additional charges against him in Washington and Virginia. Trump had saluted that stance, publicly praising him and suggesting Manafort had been treated worse than gangster Al Capone. Trump's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, had suggested a pardon might be a possibility after the investigation was concluded.
Trump, Pompeo bash ex-Secretary of State Kerry on Iran talks
WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Mike Pompeo unloaded Friday on his Obama-era predecessor John Kerry for "actively undermining" U.S. policy on Iran by meeting several times recently with the Iranian foreign minister, who was his main interlocutor in the Iran nuclear deal negotiations.
In unusually blunt and caustic language, Pompeo said Kerry's meetings with Mohammad Javad Zarif were "unseemly and unprecedented" and "beyond inappropriate." President Donald Trump had late Thursday accused Kerry of holding "illegal meetings with the very hostile Iranian Regime, which can only serve to undercut our great work to the detriment of the American people."
Pompeo said he would leave "legal determinations to others" but slammed Kerry as a former secretary of state for engaging with "the world's largest state-sponsor of terror" and telling Iran to "wait out this administration." He noted that just this week Iranian-backed militias had fired rockets at U.S. diplomatic compounds in Iraq.
"You can't find precedent for this in U.S. history, and Secretary Kerry ought not to engage in that kind of behavior," an agitated Pompeo told reporters at the State Department. "It's inconsistent with what foreign policy of the United States is as directed by this president, and it is beyond inappropriate for him to be engaged."
Kerry, who is promoting his new book "Every Day is Extra," tweeted a response to Trump that referred to the president's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, who agreed on Friday to cooperate with the special counsel's investigation into Russia interference in the 2016 presidential election and possible coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign.
Moon faces toughest challenge yet in 3rd summit with Kim
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The first inter-Korean summit of 2018, a sunny spectacle in late April, reduced war fears on the peninsula. The second, an emergency one in May, helped ensure a historic meeting between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and President Donald Trump came off.
Now, at his third summit with Kim next week in Pyongyang, South Korean President Moon Jae-in faces his toughest challenge yet: delivering something substantive that goes beyond previous vague statements on denuclearization and helps get U.S.-North Korea talks back on track.
Negotiations between Washington and Pyongyang have sputtered in recent weeks, raising doubts about whether Kim is truly willing to relinquish his nuclear arsenal and putting pressure on Moon to broker progress once again.
The result will likely be a crucial indicator of how the larger nuclear negotiations with the United States will proceed. Moon will try to get Kim to express more clearly that he's prepared to abandon his nuclear weapons, which could create momentum for a second Kim-Trump summit.
Whether Moon succeeds, fails or falls somewhere in between, the third inter-Korean summit could help answer a persistent question: When Kim says he supports the "complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula," what does he actually mean?
Everyone wants answers: State, feds hunt for gas blast cause
LAWRENCE, Mass. (AP) — Investigators worked Friday to pinpoint the cause of a series of fiery natural gas explosions that killed a teen driver in his car just hours after he got his license, injured at least 25 others and left dozens of homes in smoldering ruins.
Authorities said an estimated 8,000 people were displaced at the height of Thursday's post-explosion chaos in three towns north of Boston rocked by the disaster. Most were still waiting, shaken and exhausted, to be allowed to return to their homes.
Gov. Charlie Baker said Friday that hundreds of gas technicians were being deployed throughout the night and into Saturday to make sure each home is safe to enter.
Even after residents return and their electricity is restored, gas service won't be turned on until technicians can inspect every connection in each home — a process that could take weeks.
"This remains a tremendous inconvenience for many people," Baker said. "It's essential for the crews to get this right."
Ferocious typhoon plows through rain-soaked Philippines
TUGUEGARAO, Philippines (AP) — Typhoon Mangkhut slammed into the Philippines' northeastern coast early Saturday, its ferocious winds and blinding rain ripping off tin roof sheets and knocking out power, and plowed through the agricultural region at the start of the onslaught.
The typhoon made landfall before dawn in the coastal town of Baggao in Cagayan province on the northern tip of Luzon Island, a breadbasket of flood-prone rice plains and mountain provinces often hit by landslides. More than 5 million people were at risk from the storm, which the Hawaii-based Joint Typhoon Warning Center downgraded from a super typhoon but still punching powerful winds and gusts equivalent to a category 4 Atlantic hurricane.
There were no immediate reports of major damages or casualties in the region, where a massive evacuation from high-risk areas was carried out over two days.
Associated Press journalists in a hotel in Cagayan's capital city of Tuguegarao saw tin roof sheets and other debris hurtle through the air and store signs crash to the ground. Cars shook as wind gusts pummeled a parking lot.
With a huge raincloud band 900 kilometers (560 miles) wide, combined with seasonal monsoon rains, the typhoon dumped intense rain that could set off landslides and flash floods. Storm warnings have been raised in almost all the provinces across the Luzon, including the capital, Manila, restricting sea and air travel.
Kavanaugh denies allegation of sexual misconduct in school
WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh on Friday denied an allegation of sexual misconduct from when he was in high school, seeking to defuse a potential threat to his confirmation as a handful of key senators remained silent on whether they would vote for him.
In a statement released by the White House, Kavanaugh said: "I categorically and unequivocally deny this allegation. I did not do this back in high school or at any time."
Senate Republicans insist Kavanaugh's confirmation remains on track. But the allegation has inflamed an already intense political battle over President Donald Trump's nominee. It also pushes the #MeToo movement into the court fight, less than two months before congressional elections that have seen a surge of female Democratic candidates.
The New Yorker magazine reported that the alleged incident took place at a party when Kavanaugh, now 53, was attending Georgetown Preparatory School. The woman making the allegation attended a nearby school.
The magazine says the woman sent a letter about the allegation to Democrats. A Democratic aide and another person familiar with the letter confirmed Friday to The Associated Press that the allegation is sexual in nature. Two other people familiar with the matter confirmed it concerned an incident alleged to have occurred in high school. They were not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Dallas police face ire over portrayal of man shot by officer
DALLAS (AP) — Attorneys for the family of a black man who was killed in his own apartment by a white police officer accused Dallas police of trying to "assassinate his character" and expressed fury that authorities sought a search warrant that resulted in the discovery of marijuana in the victim's apartment.
At a news conference Friday, the lawyers said the search warrant, which allowed investigators to look for drugs, should have never been issued.
They also called for the firing of police officer Amber Guyger, who gunned down 26-year-old Botham Jean in his own apartment on Sept. 6. She has been booked on a preliminary charge of manslaughter and is free on bond.
Guyger told investigators she mistook Jean's apartment for her own, which is right below his, and that upon entering the dark home, she believed she had encountered an intruder and shot him when he didn't obey her verbal commands.
Lee Merritt, one of the Jean family attorneys, said Friday that investigators wasted no time in digging for dirt they could use to smear Jean's name. Within hours of Jean being shot, they asked a judge for a warrant to search his home for drugs, among other things.
New US survey shows some progress against opioid crisis
Figures from a U.S. government survey released Friday show some progress in the fight against the ongoing opioid addiction crisis with fewer people in 2017 using heroin for the first time compared to the previous year.
The number of new users of heroin decreased from 170,000 in 2016 to 81,000 in 2017, a one-year drop that would need to be sustained for years to reduce the number of fatal overdoses, experts said.
Fewer Americans are misusing or addicted to prescription opioid painkillers. And more people are getting treatment for heroin and opioid addiction, the survey found.
The Trump administration said the positive trends show government efforts are working.
Messages are reaching people about the dangers of heroin and the deadly contaminants it often contains on the street, Dr. Elinore McCance-Katz, an administration health official, said in a video presentation released with the figures.

So its about half ten and I have loads of energy and I'm totally excited over nothing. I've been up since half six this morning and spent a whole day stressing at college, yet I have enough energy to willingly go for a sprint. My dog is also totally judging my dance moves to Beyonce right now as well.
Today I've had a lot of time to thing about the future and where I'm hoping next year will go, because to be totally honest, this years been shit for a majority of us. Next year I am viewing as the start to my adult life. I'm nineteen and living at home with my parents and until the beginning of this year I had no idea where my life was going. I'd had a shitty end to 2015 and 2016 started looking up until a few months ago. Either way in 2017 I have a lot of ideas. I've applied for new jobs because I want to get out the bike trade and into something more stable, and I've also applied for university to study at St Georges University in Tooting, or Kings College London or Brunel – we'll see which if any accepts me. Either way, I feel what ever happens with uni will happen for a reason, I'll either go study and work my butt off for three years potentially five if I gain a masters, or I'll go into full time work and work my way up through experience. Either way what ever happens, happens for a reason.
Apart from uni I'm also going to quit karate and try out running. I wanted to try running a few years back but I was a lot more shy then and it clashed with karate, and at that time I was very much into karate. However its recently been causing me more stress than its worth so after my national grading to get my brown belt in two weeks, I'm gonna take a break and give something else a try. Running will also help out with my cycling as well which is a plus. I'm so excited about trying it out that I've been googling outfits and I'm so excited I can't actually contain my excitement.
I'm also going to brave it and follow my fashion and make up instinct. I know the kind of fashion that I like and I know my style, I'm just not confident wearing my style. I've been trying to build up to it, but I always feel too over dressed if ya get what I mean? So next year I'm going to try and get more confident with myself and how I look.
Either way next year I am hoping is going to be a good year for me and I'm hoping to make the most of it. I know its a bit early, but I genuinely have so much energy right now I had to get some of it out, and hey, thats what a blogs for right? Either way there will be an eye look posted soon with my new Tarte eyeshadow palette!!
Night, Hazel

If you've been off-planet for the last several weeks, you may be surprised that the summer sports schedule has been taken over by something called "World Cup." What 6 million of us call "soccer" and 6 BILLION call "football" (or futbol), entails running. Lots. And a huge amount of foot/eye coordination. And they are done at the same time. Thirty-two countries send national teams to the World Cup, although all nations are eligible to participate in the qualifying matches. World Cup is, quite simply, the best of the best players in the world, competing to see which team is the best.
Each player, aside from the goal-keepers, expect to run an average of 8 miles in each match. That's RUN. And sprint, saunter, walk and jump for 90+ minutes. There are no time-outs, except for injury on the pitch; there is one 15-minute break between two 45-minute halves. Think these players are in shape? You'd better believe it. There are no refrigerators or potatoes on the field. Every single player is in tip-top shape, and (from my point of view) easy on the eye. Speed, grace, agility, and beatuiful athleticism.
Where I'm going is simple. These Best of the Best did not get there simply by showing up one day, saying "I'm the best." They have been playing since they were 7, 8, 10 years old. They have been educating their bodies in special skills to develop vision, coordination, strength, endurance. They'be been educating their minds on plays, theories, memory and planning. And, they've been doing it daily. For absolute YEARS.
The theory is simple -- practice, practice, PRACTICE. It works for everything we do. Certainly, there are savants and geniuses who appear to have sprung from their mothers' wombs able to compose symphonies. But for the rest of us, we get where we want to go by practice. By doing it regularly, consistently and with the mind-set that we need to perform the "darned dailies" in order to develop that inate sense of what works.
It's knowing when the time is right, when the line is right, when the flavor is right, when the presentation is right. We've done it enough times that the piece is "done." Same way with what I do in the studio. There are voila moments, sure, but mostly art is done the same way cooking, investing, bridge-building, negotiating, and driving are done -- practice, practice, practice. There is no magic incantation except "let's do another one." No magic wand except a paint brush or a pencil. No time machine that gets us to the end of the hallway instantly. We get there by walking, by doing, by being in the present moment and by being aware of wht is going on. It's a different kind of magic!

I'm happy to be back in Virginia! The business trip was terrible and all I wanted to do was get home. I mentioned in a previous post that I bought an audio book for the trip, it was called "What are you hungry for?" by Deepak Chopra. I wish I could say that I highly recommend the book, but I can't. It was OK in the sense that it really got me thinking through the trip, but I struggled with the fact that the author chose to do the audio (with his fairly strong Indian accent) and the book felt like it jumped around. There were 2 sections that I really enjoyed and 3 sections that I just didn't care for at all. The first part of the book put a lot of focus on understanding that a lot of times we don't eat because we are hungry, but rather, because we are missing something in our lives. I enjoyed that section. There was also another section dedicated to stress and stress eating coupled with awareness eating (and living). The rest of the book jumped around a little and it spent way too much time focused on the different "tastes" as well as the healing power of certain spices. Unabridged didn't help either as the author often would call out all the foods from a list, something that would have been glazed over if you were reading instead of listening.
As I said it was successful to the extent that it got me thinking about myself and I'll be posting about some changes I'm going to make in the coming days. I've already began to work on these changes which included my eating on the trip home. I was able to stop for a coffee at 10AM and NOT get a bagel or donut. Under normal circumstances I would, especially since it was on the company dime, but I wasn't hungry. Lunch turned out to be a great Cobb salad and fruit bowl. No junk food, no sugary drinks, and no dessert. Dinner was equally well handled and I'm eager to get rolling again and get back to my healthy living.
Tomorrow marks the 5 month point of my journey.
Stay Strong!

I think I wrote earlier that this is the year of balance for me. An interesting outcome of my finding-center/finding balance orientation is the huge shifts that are coming out of it. First clarity, then ease, then a gentle rancorless flow into change. The change can be enormous and risky and yet feel completely natural, the next logical step in the progression...
I took a lot of heat last night from various parties (who shall remain nameless), about having become a complete and utter stereotype, with small exceptions. Here's my list of perceived faults:
- Prius driver
- compounded by the Obama sticker on the back
- practitioner of yoga
- eater of organic food
- inhabitant of Marin County
Apparently, I get some points for tattoos, but not enough to lift me out of the particularly shameful demographic I now represent. Another saving grace is my continued consumption of animal products. If I were vegan, I'd be completely f*ed.
Apparently, I have lost my edge.
Which means, strangely enough, that I have succeeded.
The edge was such a defining point for so long, and yet such a totally artificial and silly construct. And I fully recognize how absurd the combination of labels above can look, at the same time that I recognize how meaningless they are, given who I am inside, where I come from, how my mind works. Sure, dismiss me -- soft, Marin County do-gooder -- that's fine with me. All of what I'm doing feels absolutely natural to me, easy, rancorless.
I'm happier now than I've ever been. Think maybe it has something to do with losing the edge?

We provide an array of eyecare services to suit your needs
Dry eye is a common condition that becomes more prevalent with age. It occurs in about 10% of patients age 30-60 and increases to 15% over age 65. Dry eye is a disease with many causes affecting the tears and the surface of the eye, leading to eye discomfort, visual disturbance and unstable tears, with inflammation of the surface of the eye and concentrated tears (hyperosmolar). The eyes may become dry and irritated because the eyes fail to produce enough tears or because of abnormal tears associated with increased evaporation. This can cause the tears to become too concentrated (hyperosmolar) leading to inflammation that produces unstable tears which causes the tears to become more concentrated in a dry eye inflammatory circle.The tears are important for clear vision.
The tears are composed of three layers:
Patients with dry eye may experience certain symptoms from this condition, usually affecting both eyes, which may include:
Dry eye tends to affect women more than men, as the hormonal changes that take place as a result of pregnancy, menopause and oral contraceptives affect the tear film. Risk factors include:
People usually begin experiencing dry eye symptoms as they age. The condition can occur at any time and can also result from the following:
Your doctor can diagnose dry eyes by evaluating your symptoms and testing the volume and quality of the tears. A Schirmer tear test involves placing blotting strips under the eyelids to measure the amount of tear production. Other tests may be performed to determine the condition of the eye surface and how long it takes to evaporate.
Our State-of-the-Art Dry Eye Center utilizes the following tests to diagnose and management your dry eye condition:
A careful history and exam will determine the type of dry eye present, which may include not enough tears (aqueous deficient) or increased evaporation (evaporative). The causes are evaluated and treatment includes:

CENTERVILLE, Ohio (AP) A federal transportation safety official says screening commercial pilots for fentanyl is not yet under consideration, even after one fatally overdosed on the painkiller at his Ohio home.
Mary Pat McKay, chief medical officer for the National Transportation Safety Board, told the Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/2osYpWZ ) that some board members would support fentanyl testing if federal health officials certify screening protocols. She spoke to the newspaper after a Spirit Airlines pilot overdosed in Centerville, about 49 miles (79 kilometers) north of Cincinnati.
Many transportation employees are screened for drugs including marijuana and cocaine. The Department of Transportation is currently considering adding tests for some opioids that don"t include fentanyl.
McKay says fentanyl wasn"t as widespread when the proposal was drafted. She says "the system is always going to lag behind."

The P2-billion contract for the redevelopment and upgrade of the Subic Bay International Airport (SBIA) has attracted three companies with extensive track records in building high-volume, high traffic, and advanced technology systems for international airport operations and maintenance.
SBIA Chairman Martin B. Diño said on Monday the three companies are: AIA Airways, Intercontinental Pacific Airways, and RIL International & Link Co., Ltd.
Diño said this will turn the airport into a major international gateway for travelers to the Philippines. "The three companies will handle redevelopment of the Subic airport. We want it to be fully operational again, and to be at par with the best airports in Asia and the world," he said.
With these offers, Diño wrote a letter to Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade seeking the transport chief's approval of the firms' participation in SBIA's redevelopment.
AIA Airways wants to build a $1.5-billion logistics center and transshipment hub for cargo airline operations that will be supported by a maintenance repair station and a world-class aviation institution in the tradition of the US Dallas Forth Worth. It is projected to generate 800 new jobs.
RIL International & Global Link Co., Ltd has submitted a $1.5-billion proposal to lease, develop, upgrade, modernize and operate the SBIA; this include provisions for a modern airport terminal, hotels, theme parks and a sports complex.
Intercontinental Pacific Airways expressed interest in building a $48-million airline operations center including maintenance, repair and overhaul operations. It is projected to employ 610 workers.
The SBIA boasts of a long runway fitted to handle long-haul, wide-body jets and heavy air transport, but it has been mostly idle since mid-2009 when the US-based logistics giant Federal Express (FedEx) closed down its Asia-Pacific transshipment hub.
Dino revealed that three of the airport's equipment valued at half a billion pesos could not be accounted for by the previous administration, which turned over the Freeport facility to Dino in September last year.
But the new SBMA leadership is pushing ahead with the airport's upgrade, Dino said, "because we want to make the Subic International Airport operational anywhere from six months to one year."

Florida Teen Is Being Charged With Practicing Medicine Without A License
An 18-year old in Florida has been taken into custody for posing as a doctor at his own medical clinic, without a license.
Malachi Love-Robinson, an 18-year-old from Florida, was arrested on Tuesday (Feb. 16) for practicing medicine without a license, according to WPBF. He was taken into custody by authorities who ran an undercover operation. Love-Robinson was allegedly advertising himself as a doctor on Facebook, and other similar sites.
The undercover operation was issued by the Palm Beach Narcotics Task Force and the Florida Department of Health. A county official pretended to be a patient receiving "medical advice" from a faux doctor.
"I'm hurt because of all of these allegations," Robinson told WPBF. "This is not the first time I have been accused and I will pursue this, and when I do, you will be the first to know."
Robinson was swiftly arrested and charged with practicing medicine without a license, and he was held with a $6,000 bail with no attorney mentioned, according to NBC Washington. His office, New Birth New Life Alternative Medicine and Urgent Care Clinic, allegedly consists of a staff of 'alternative medical professionals."
This isn't the first time, however, the teen has been charged with fraudulent medical practices. Back in January of last year, at 17 he was accused of posing as a doctor at St.Mary's Medical Center. "I requested to shadow physicians," he told reporters at the time. "Next thing I know, cops are there. That's all I know."
On Tuesday afternoon, the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office tweeted this:"Just because you saw a season of Grey's Anatomy doesn't mean you could practice medicine."
Further details for this case is are still pending. Here is a video of the full coverage below:

OK so here goes! My first ever post for my new blog.I dont even know what to say (which is unusual for someone who can talk under wet cement). I guess the aim of this blog is to share my new passion for decorated cookies. I don't even know much about blogs and how they work but i look forward to learning along the way from the blog veterens out there!
I have always loved cooking and I have my mum to thank for that. I would always help out in the kitchen where I could and I guess I picked it up along the way without even knowing it. So how did I get the idea to start making decorated cookies you ask? Like most people, I have a full time job, and I never usually buy from the book club at work, until i saw all these pretty cookies in this book and i HAD to learn how to do that.
Well my first attempt...lets just say they tasted better than they looked, I had NO idea how to work with royal icing on cookies, so the research started and its all history. I have only been doing this for about six months, I cant wait to see my skills develop and I look forward to this journey. If only i could quit my day job and do this full time.....one day!!
Stay tuned for my upcoming cookie ventures, I look forward to what the future has to hold!
PS - Pictures coming as soon as i can figure this all out!
