Paintings by artist Michael Vasquez
Michael Vasquez was born in 1983 in St. Petersburg, Florida. In 2001, he moved to Miami to attend New World School of the Arts, where he graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 2005. Upon graduating, Vasquez began showing with Fredric Snitzer Gallery in Miami, Florida. In 2007, Fredric Snitzer Gallery mounted Vasquez's first solo exhibition, "Family Jewels." Drawn from his personal experience as an only child of a single parent mother, Vasquez explored the allure of a neighborhood street gang through the perspective of a boy growing up without a father figure. Later that same year, The Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City, Missouri gave Vasquez his first solo museum exhibition, "Michael Vasquez: Authority Figures." While in Kansas City, Vasquez delivered his first public lecture about his work to co-inside with the exhibition's programing. He also spent time sharing his work and talking about his life experience with at risk youth at The Mattie Rhodes Center.
Continuing his exploration, Vasquez opened "How The Land Lies" in 2009 at the Fredric Snitzer Gallery. Vasquez presented the gang as an extended family, accompanied by it's own set of values that seemed to communicate and instill a level of masculinity and toughness beyond a mother's capability. Exploring the duality within these values and accompanying feelings, Vasquez presented mirroring aspects of pride and shame, affiliation and separation, respect and disrespect, etc, all while drawing out the histories, streetwise social codes, and mythic nature of a neighborhood street gang.
In 2010, Vasquez was invited to the University of Tennessee in Chattanooga, Tennessee to take part in their John and Diane Marek Visiting Artist Lecture Series. There, Vasquez delivered multiple lectures about his work both privately in the classroom and publicly during the opening reception of his exhibition "Michael Vasquez: What Comes With The Territory." Continuing his commitment to community involvement, while in Chattanooga Vasquez spent time with the mentally disabled at the AIM (Achievement Independence Motivation) Center. Michael Vasquez's work was also shown internationally for the first time in 2010, when it was included in "Franks - Suss Collection" at the Saatchi Gallery in London, England.
In early 2012, Michael Vasquez presented his most recent solo exhibition "Rites of Passage" at Fredric Snitzer Gallery. This exhibition marked an exciting expansion in Vasquez's artistic approach. In an effort to more directly integrate his photographs—a retrospective of his career as an artist—Vasquez revisited, resized, and reassembled his images to fashion aggressive, large-scale, relief photo sculptures that narrated a neighborhood street gang's convergence. Within this, Vasquez highlighted the experiences of a teen undergoing a ritualistic initiation into the gang, or rite of passage, while in search of ideals of masculinity and community. In his book, "The Rites of Passage," Arnold van Gennep defines a rite of passage as the "transitional phase between childhood and full inclusion into a tribe or social group." Vasquez's unique interpretation of Gennep's three phases of the rite -- separation, transition, and reincorporation served as the connective premise of this exhibition.
Michael Vasquez's work has also been included in numerous institutional and museum exhibitions such as his aforementioned solo shows at The Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in 2007 and The University of Tennessee in Chattanooga in 2010 ; "Metro Pictures" at The Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami in 2006; "Pivot Points Part 2: New Mythologies," also at The Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami, and "GEN-X: Post Boomers and the New South," Mobile Museum of Art in Mobile, Alabama, both in 2008; "New Work Miami 2010," at the Miami Art Museum in 2010; "Florida Contemporary 2011," at the Naples Museum of Art in Naples, Florida; "Vanishing Points: Paint and Paintings from the Debra and Dennis Scholl Collection," at the Bass Museum of Art in Miami Beach, Florida; and "The Human Touch" at SMoCA in Scottsdale, Arizona. Vasquez will be one of six artists included in "Portraiture Now: Staging the Self"; opening August 22nd, 2014 at the National Portrait Gallery Smithsonian in Washington D.C.

A young driver was warned today he could be locked up after being found guilty of causing a schoolgirl's death in a car crash.
Middlesbrough teenager Lee Leonard was convicted of causing the death by dangerous driving of 12-year-old Stokesley schoolgirl Naomi Ashman.
He had denied the charge but today a Teesside Crown Court jury found him guilty by a majority verdict of 11 to 1.
Leonard, 18, will be sentenced next month.
He was granted bail but Judge Peter Armstrong warned him it shouldn't be taken as an indication that there would be "anything other than a custodial sentence".
The case was adjourned for a pre-sentence report and Leonard, of Marton Moor Road, Nunthorpe, is expected to learn his fate on Friday, February 6.
Prosecutor Peter Makepeace said they would be speaking to Naomi's family to find out their views before Leonard is sentenced.
The prosecution alleged that Leonard was driving too fast and was "showing off" when he lost control of his Citroen Saxo car on Clay Bank, near Great Broughton, on May 7 last year.
The car left the B1257 Stokesley to Helmsley road, sailing through the air before smashing into a tree, the court was told.
Naomi Ashman, also known as Naomi Smith, of Allen Grove, Stokesley, suffered fatal injuries after being thrown from the vehicle.
The 12-year-old and her best friend Jemma Adams, 14, had been sitting in the back of the car but neither was wearing a seatbelt, the court heard.
Leonard had passed his driving test only eight days before the tragedy.
The accident happened after two cars containing eight youngsters - four boys and four girls - travelled up to Clay Bank for the second time that night.
The girls had agreed to go for a drive with Leonard and his three friends after chatting to them in Stokesley earlier that evening.
Leonard denied that he was either showing off to impress the girls or racing his friend, James Abraham, who was driving a Ford Fiesta.
He also claimed that he couldn't remember the accident itself, which happened shortly after he overtook Mr Abraham's car while going down Clay Bank.
Leonard said he was "devastated" when he heard that Naomi had died.
A North Yorkshire Police accident investigator concluded that the accident was caused by excessive speed and incorrect steering, possibly over-reacting in a panic situation.

Legal Technology – the future of legal services
One way of viewing the current legal services market is that the legal profession is locked in a race to the death with non-qualified providers, tempted by the lucrative chunk of legal work that is not reserved to qualified lawyers and which forms a big part of their income.
Using technology to comply with 'portability' under GDPR
This article will focus on this one specific section of the GDPR, article 20, which requires 'portability' of data containing personal information, and in particular the technical measures to be taken.
Great customer service is nothing if you can't close the deal
In this article, I talk about my own personal experience of receiving great customer service and look at the lessons that law firms can learn from looking to another sector for tips.
What are the emerging risks for law firms?
"The legal market is in a remarkable state of flux. In less than two decades, the way in which lawyers work will change radically," writes Richard Susskind in Tomorrow's Lawyers. These changes will pose new risks for law firms. Those that fail to manage them could struggle, but for nimble and forward-thinking firms, they present opportunities.
The Civil Liability Bill
Compensation claims, particularly for minor injuries as a result of road traffic accidents, are the centre of ongoing tension between the insurance industry and those who represent claimants. The Civil Liability Bill aims to put an end to what the government sees as the high number of "minor, exaggerated and fraudulent claims for compensation resulting from whiplash injuries sustained in road traffic accidents".

Sunderland centre-back Carlos Cuellar could be back in contention for tomorrow's trip to Manchester City.
The defender has missed the Black Cats' last three games with a hamstring injury, but trained yesterday.
Wes Brown was also involved in training yesterday, but is not yet ready to return.
Full-back Phil Bardsley stepped up his recovery from ankle surgery by playing in a behind-closed-doors game against Middlesbrough at Rockliffe Park yesterday, with two goals from Ryan Noble enough to give a youthful Sunderland side a 2-1 win.
Bardsley is now expected to play in Sunderland's Under-21 game at Stoke City on Monday.
Sunderland striker Steven Fletcher's stand-off with Scotland boss Craig Levein was resolved this week, and he was named in the squad for his country's World Cup qualifiers against Belgium and Wales this month.
Cats boss Martin O'Neill said: "I must admit, I never really worried too much about it – from a purely selfish standpoint, if he doesn't play in international games there is less chance of him getting injured!
"But in all honesty, I'm glad it has been resolved and having spent five years managing in Scotland I hope their national side does well and I think he will help them."
O'Neill is hoping to complete a deal for Fletcher's compatriot James McFadden, who has been training on Wearside for the last fortnight.
The free agent also played in the friendly at Boro yesterday.
"James is keen to come here, absolutely," O'Neill said.
"I'd hope to get something sorted in the next few days."

I'm amazed I'm here! Only 12 weeks to go? Seriously? I had no idea until the doctor told me at my Mayo Clinic appointment today.
I remember the first 12 weeks. It felt like week 36 was an eternity away. Yet, here I am!
12 weeks to go. Wow. Should I start the count down? It's been a help to me NOT to count down. That way, I don't get anxious for it to end. I mean - why?
What good does being anxious bring? I mean, I can't speed up time with it. It'll only make the journey that much more excruciating to walk out. So, I liked no knowing how much time I had left.
Today, it's ok that I now know I have 12 weeks left. I'm not anxious about it. Yeah! And, I'm careful NOT to say "only 12 weeks left." That's a setup. ;)
In other words, I don't even know the exact end date. I'm asked that all the time now. And it feels good to say "I don't know. And I'm glad I don't know. It'll get here when it gets here." :)
Meanwhile, I accept each day as it comes, and fit myself into it. I fit myself into it - NOT by adapting my ways to every pressure and whim of the world around me - but by yielding to good self-care and by asking God for the wisdom to know my priorities and the courage to do them first.

John Carpenter's 1983, boy and his car tale, has arrived on 4k UHD Blu-ray mit HDR via Sony (Columbia).
I've always loved the opening sequence, as a dozen or so guys build '58 Plymouth Furys, somewhere on a Chrysler assembly line.
How they so perfectly reproduced that production facility has always been a mystery.
As films based upon Stephen King tomes goes, I consider it mid-level.
Certain not great, but also definitely not bad.
The new 4k Blu-ray is interesting, as while it's totally film-like, it appears to have a bit of a heavy-handed application of HDR. Shadow detail, at least on my set-up, is lacking in any nuance. Mid-range blacks are plugged.
But this seems to be an endemic problem with HDR in projection. We're just not ready for it.
A decent little film, although I'm not certain that it's 4k fodder.
Audio, re-mixed to Atmos level, is lovely.
Image – 5
Audio – 5 (Dolby Atmos)
Pass / Fail – Pass
Upgrade from Blu-ray – Absolutely!

Introduction Generatepress Center Title
Within the past ten decades, I've used a lot of different WordPress themes and have been really disappointed. Up till recently, I was utilizing MyThemeShop, that was pretty good. However, I had to perform a lot of customization to allow it to perform and work how I needed it to. A few weeks ago I decided to provide GeneratePress a try, and let me just say, it's undoubtedly the best WordPress theme I have discovered in a decade . I was blown away and am moving all of my websites to GeneratePress. I'll enter exactly why in my comprehensive GeneratePress review under. And if you are wondering, yes I've attempted Genesis, Astra, OceanWP, Avada, X theme, Divi in addition to many other lightweight and thicker multicolored themes. Generatepress Center Title
To Begin, Click here to download GeneratePress.
GeneratePress Evaluation
GeneratePress is a free WordPress theme made by Tom Usborne, a programmer from Canada. I have actually seen it for years in the WordPress repository. Most of you know that I'm fairly picky when it comes to web performance, so I tend to dismiss everything from the repository. Typically because a great deal of things on there is not that great, or not encouraged for long. However, in this case, that was a mistake. The motif currently has more than half a million downloads, 80,000+ active installs, with over 500 5-star evaluations. So clearly Tom is doing some thing right here.
I Really installed the free version of the theme and in a matter of 15 minutes bought the superior version. I could tell right off the bat, the developer was thinking precisely how I was imagining a theme should get the job done. And I'll go into that more below, but let's first look at a number of the qualities. I'm going to be covering the premium edition of the subject, because it's worth . In fact, Tom, if you ever read this and so are visiting Scottsdale, Arizona, java on me.
Super lightweight and quick. Modular design allowing you to enable/disable items you do not want running. This is only one of the greatest reasons I love GeneratePress.
Responsive, looks great across all devices.
Schema built-in, for greater outcomes in SERPs.
Impressive integration using the WordPress Customizer. I haven't been a fan of this customizer in the past, but Tom does it correctly.
Compatible with popular plugins, Yoast SEO, WooCommerce, EDD, BuddyPress, bbPress, and WPML. Fantastic browser support back to IE8.
Additionally, it works great with the favorite fast-growing Elementor page builder. If you would like to dive into even more customizations, these are a great combo. I've also read that people using Beaver Builder have had success.
Resumes prepared.
Font awesome built-in.
A lot of filters and hooks that make it good for programmers.
Great active service from the programmer. Normally, 3 updates per month.
The Documentation can be incredible. Besides have good documentation on their site, the theme has existed long enough that what I wholeheartedly during the setup process was found within a couple of seconds in their own forum.
Diving Into GeneratePress
Now it is Time to the fun part! I always test a new theme right from the box with no customizations to see how fast the foundation is. This tells me a lot of what I could expect by the time I add everything for this. Running the stock GeneratePress WordPress motif on Kinsta hosting clocked in at a whopping 265 ms loading time. I was quite impressed.
One Thing I was worried about with GeneratePress was that the modular layout was going to generate a whole lot of big files, but that is not the case. You can tell that Tom literally worked hard on ensuring that every record packed in GeneratePress is as little as possible. Together with HTTP/2, the number of documents is not as significant. But the dimensions is! Have a look at some of the core GeneratePress files below:
/generatepress/css/unsemantic-grid. min.css 2.9 KB
/generatepress/style. css 7.1 KB
/generatepress/css/mobile. min.css 1.6 KB
/generatepress/js/navigation. min.js 1.1 KB
/generatepress/js/dropdown. min.js 1.5 KB
This is a programmer that cares about functionality! And I've Seen exactly the same during all of the premium add-ons. They're as small as you can possibly get them. In fact, Font Awesome is most likely the largest file included. And that isn't even his. With Font Awesome 5 arriving around the cornerwe could expect that to secure smaller also.
The premium add-ons Are setup in what I'd call a modular design. It is possible to activate/deactivate anything you aren't using to guarantee they do not load on your site. Since the co-developer of this perfmatters plugin that has a script supervisor built-in, I felt at home for this. Everything ought to be designed this way.
If You're interested, I am using the following add-ons on this website:
Page Header
No Child Theme Needed
One of The best characteristics of GeneratePress is I no longer have to use a Child theme. This makes my life so much simpler. No longer editing my functions.php or header.php documents. I will literally upgrade my GeneratePress motif this very minute rather than shed one customization. The hooks add-on certainly can help make it possible. It permits you to incorporate custom code/PHP anywhere throughout your WordPress site. Generatepress Center Title
Other Things I Love About GeneratePress
On each Page/post that you have a great deal of options. You are able to alter the sidebar design and the footer widgets.
You Can quickly swap a page involving the default option to a full width page, as well as disable elements.
The WordPress customizer choices is where GeneratePress really shines! Bear in mind, a lot of these options are permitted from the premium add-ons. I can't show you everything, otherwise, we would be here daily. But allow me to show you couple which really come in handy.
Responsive Columns
Another Plugin I highly recommend grabbing is the free Lightweight Grid Columns. Not to my surprise, this can be created by precisely the same programmer as GeneratePress. It enables you a super easy way to add responsive columns into any page or article. Characteristics include:
Desktop grid width
Tablet grid width
Mobile grid thickness
Insert custom courses
Add custom inline styles
Equal height columns
This is An example below:
You May Want to Also catch his incredible WP Display Posts plugin also. See my featured articles on the sidebar of this website? That's using the WP Show Posts plugin. I have it set to display posts from a particular"featured" category. You might also have it show last modified/updated articles, recent posts, etc.. I am using the free version and it works terrific.
To Begin, Click here to download GeneratePress.
Sections Add-on
The Sections add-on in the premium edition of GeneratePress allows you to do all kinds of things in terms of design. Consider it like a page builder without the bloat. GeneratePress is definitely not just for blogs! I'm in fact utilizing GeneratePress for our ecommerce site (perfmatters.io) that is operating Easy Digital Downloads. Feel free to check it out. However, as you can see below, it looks nothing like a blog.
Speed Tests
For those Of those that are regular readers, you likely did not even notice that I changed the entire motif that powers woorkup.com. It just took me about an hour to get GeneratePress to mimic my MyThemeShop motif which I had spent a year customizing. Here is a comparison below.
woorkup.com Old MyThemeShop Theme
My old MyThemeShop theme was pretty fast, but I invested a lot of time customizing it. In fact, I've gotten a great deal of emails from you guys asking me to print all of my customizations. My advice today is, simply get GeneratePress!
woorkup.com New GeneratePress Theme
Together with the New GeneratePress theme I was able to attain faster speeds and 600 fewer lines of code! And keep in mind, I do not have a kid motif. Each of the customizations were made using the wonderful GP hooks and snippets plugin (both CSS and PHP).
Like the WordPress theme I have running on woorkup? You are in luck. Tom asked if he can make a copy of woorkup to your new GeneratePress site library. I am happy to allow you to know that now you can install my woorkup theme on your GeneratePress website with only a click! It is known as the Marketer theme. Get started using a fantastic blog layout immediately.
brianjackson.io Old Array Theme's Theme
Additionally, I Moved within my personal site, brianjackson.io, to GeneratePress. Previously I had been using a theme from Array Themes. It's a pretty basic minimum website, as I don't use it to get much. Since you can see it loaded pretty fast.
brianjackson.io New GeneratePress Theme
I had been Able to replicate the whole look 100 percent in GeneratePress in under an hour. And as you can view it loads faster! Amazing. I was able to get rid of a few plugins which weren't needed due to GP.
forgemedia.io Old Array Theme's Theme
I also Moved over our organization site, forgemedia.io, to GeneratePress. Previously I was using a motif from Array Themes. It's a fairly basic minimal website, as we simply use it for our LLC. As you can see it loaded pretty quickly. Generatepress Center Title
forgemedia.io New GeneratePress Theme
I had been Able to move everything over and get it looking exactly how I wanted it in under one hour. And as you can view it loads even faster! Amazing. I was able to eliminate a total of four plugins and it dropped my total page weight 2x!
I can not express my Excitement about finding GeneratePress and I am moving over all my sites for this (which includes some EDD e-commerce sites). Once I've got my 9 websites all running in GP without any child topics, my entire life is going to be a breeze! The programmer has revived my faith in multi-purpose subjects , which when done the right way, can actually perform faster.
And The best news isI finally have a billion more choices to choose from than I did earlier.
What GeneratePress Is Good For…
GeneratePress Is the perfect option for performance-focused users who wish to be able to customize and control precisely how their site appears.
You Can make GeneratePress do pretty much anything. And because GeneratePress has a focus on performance, the site that you build will have a great foundation to make it load fast.
Since Of that, those who assemble WordPress websites for a living love GeneratePress. They'll typically pair it with a WordPress page builder and use it for literally any type of website.
However GeneratePress Might Not Be A Good Combination If…
…you Want something that will instantly look perfect out of the box.
For Example, if you know you wish to create a fashion blog, you may be happier picking out a market theme that is developed exclusively for fashion bloggers.
Even though GeneratePress has gotten a lot easier to use, as a result of its pre-built Website Library, GeneratePress still looks very barebones when you first install it.
So To create GeneratePress look how you want it to, you will almost certainly need to go in and customize things. And though the substantial benefit of GeneratePress is how customizable it is, many users, particularly casual users, do not like having to make those changes themselves.
GeneratePress Features Which Make It Unique
Here Are some of the specific features that explain why GeneratePress is so popular.
Plenty Of Customization Options From The Real-Time WordPress Customizer
Beyond Performance, another place where GeneratePress does nicely is its customization options.
GeneratePress Uses the WordPress Customizer for customization, and this is convenient because you will be able to see all of the changes that you make in real time.
The Free version of GeneratePress gives you adequate options, but should you have GeneratePress Premium, you'll have the ability to customize pretty much everything about your website.
For Example, if you go into the Layout area, you may configure comprehensive settings for yourown:
- Header — you can move your header around and alter its own styling
- Navigation — GeneratePress gives you two different navigation options, such as sticky menus
- Sidebar design — you can utilize one or two sidebars
- Blog post design — like featured picture size, metadata, etc..
- Footer layout — just like the number of widgets to include
Likewise, That the Typography place lets you control the font to get each and every element on your website, such as buttons:
And You also get a thorough area to control the colour of every single element on your site.
All Whatsoever, GeneratePress will give you a lot more customization options in the WordPress Customizer compared to most other topics. This level of detail might be a bit overwhelming if you're a newcomer. But once you understand how the settings come together, you will have full control on how your website appears.
Optimized Performance And Quick Page Load Times
Around All its features, GeneratePress always has a focus on excellent performance and clean code. The entire motif is less than 30 kB, which will be about as little as you are ever going to find for a WordPress theme. Even most other optimized WordPress themes are still 200+ kB. And some poorly coded topics can even exceed 1 MB!
GeneratePress Also does not have any code dependencies, which helps you avoid the leave obstructing error that Google Pagespeed Insights often cites.
Place That collectively, and you obtain a superfast-loading theme. How fast? To give you a sense, I conducted a small test.
First, I set up an empty site using a haphazard popular WordPress.org motif (Envo Magazine). After analyzing its functionality with Pingdom, it:
- Had a performance grade of 77
- Loaded in 1.05 seconds
- Had a page size of 243.9 kB
- Had 15 requests
That's Not bad in any way! However, GeneratePress can perform.
Next, I triggered GeneratePress on exactly the exact same test site without altering anything else. Here's how GeneratePress failed:
- Had a performance grade of 87, 10 points greater
- Loaded in 666 ms, ~37% quicker
- Had a page size of 26.8 kB, ~90% smaller
- Had 9 requests, ~40% less
If You perform the exact same test with other topics, you are going to continue to see that GeneratePress is among the fastest-loading WordPress topics in existence. Generatepress Center Title
Other Useful Premium Extensions, Plus A Modular Approach
Beyond Giving you more design controls in the WordPress Customizer, GeneratePress Premium comes with a lot of other useful features such as:
- Elements — a exceptional feature that lets you create customized hooks, page headers, or layout templates.
- Page Header — allows you create a exceptional page header on a per-page basis.
- Sections — that is sort of like lightweight page construction. It lets you create different"sections" on a page, each with their own design and column settings.
To Stay lightweight, GeneratePress also gives you a modular port where you can pick and choose what characteristics you want to trigger.
That Way, you don't need to slow down your site for a feature which you're never going to use.
Pre-Made Starter Sites Make It Easier To Design Your Website
In The last, you had to construct GeneratePress sites from a blank canvas regardless of what, which made the theme difficult for casual users to install.
Earlier In 2018, however, the developer added a new Site Library attribute for GeneratePress Premium users which lets you easily import any among those 25+ pre-built demonstration websites .
You Can import them directly from your WordPress dashboard.
Yes this Website still uses GeneratePress! All I did was click on a few buttons to import a demo site.
Page-Level Settings Provide You Comprehensive Control Over Every Bit Of Content
With Most themes, each page and post will use the very same settings for the most part. You may have some custom templates or formats — however you do not have very much control past that.
GeneratePress Changes that by giving you a brand new Layout meta box for each and every page and post:
You Can use this meta box to:
- Change the number of sidebars your site uses, or the sidebar orientation (such as changing the sidebar from right to left)
- Choose how many footer widgets to utilize
- Disable certain elements, such as your header, navigation menu, post featured image, post title, or footer
- Create a special"container" to your own page builder
Where These controls are the most useful is if you are using a WordPress site builder.
By Disabling certain elements, you are able to create the correct baseline for your own page builder layout, which makes it easy to create custom content as needed. Generatepress Center Title
GeneratePress Replies: Cheap And Works On Unlimited Sites
The Heart GeneratePress motif is available for free at WordPress.org.
That said, If you are seriously interested in utilizing GeneratePress, I feel you should buy the GeneratePress Premium plugin, as that is what produces the theme so elastic. The free version does not give you almost as numerous configurations from the WordPress Customizer. And you'll also miss out on the premade Site Library.
GeneratePress Premium can be still fairly reasonably priced. It costs only $39.95, which provides you use on infinite sites. You will also get a 40% discount if you would like to renew to keep on receiving support and upgrades after the initial year (you can, of course, keep using GeneratePress after the first year without renewing — you won't get any more updates).
When You consider the typical premium WordPress theme will often cost around $60, GeneratePress offers a great price.
As I mentioned, I don't believe GeneratePress is for everybody.
If You want a niche-specific theme, you can probably save time by purchasing a theme that fits your needs for your niche from day one.
But If you're ready to spend time altering preferences, then GeneratePress' style controls give you the flexibility to flip it into any type of WordPress website. Or, you might even have the ability to locate a starter website that fits your needs to save some time.
Additionally, It is one of the fastest-loading WordPress themes that you will find. So if you're looking for the best performance possible, using GeneratePress as your WordPress site's base is a good decision.
If You combine it with fast-loading hosting, you should have no problem making your site load in under one second. Generatepress Center Title

Is Eric Cantona an Existentialist?
'King' Eric Cantona, the most philosophical of football players, scored 64 goals for Manchester United, many of them beautiful. In an away match in 1995, he'd had just been sent off, when a Crystal Palace fan ran down the stairs of the stands to shout abuse at him. Cantona's swift and unexpected reaction involved a combination of a high kick and several punches.
Cantona received opprobrium, a long ban from professional football, and 120 hours of community service for that assault. He then explained at a press conference:
'When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea.'
You might expect some contrition from him now in retrospect – for the kick, not the opaque comment about seagulls and sardines. But when asked about the assault last week for Newsnight he replied:
'I love it and I don't regret it…I am not a role model. I am not an example…I am just a human being with emotion.'
So, that leaves us with the important question: is Eric Cantona an existentialist? Many have labelled him that in the past. But in his 1945 lecture 'Existentialism is a Humanism', Jean Paul Sartre, the best-known existentialist, declared that the anguish of the human condition arises from the fact that if we act authentically it's as if the whole of humanity is watching us; 'in fashioning myself I fashion man' (and woman too, presumably). For Sartre, at least in that phase of his thought, there was no way out of being a role model.
Yet Cantona's remarks are truer to the earlier Sartre, the Sartre of Being and Nothingness. There the philosopher wrote about the Bad Faith of accepting roles others assign to us, taking the example of a café waiter who seemed condemned to play a part. In rejecting the role of footballer-as-role-model, Cantona demonstrated his freedom to define himself. True existential freedom is deciding who you are, and not being defined by what others think you are or should be… even, perhaps, rejecting someone else labelling you as an existentialist.

Michael J Fox has been named as the world's most influential Canadian expatriate in a new poll.
Conducted by The Canadian Expat Association, the survey was open to its members and the general public, with voting closing on October 31st.
The actor emerged as the clear favourite with 28.9 per cent of the votes, followed by professional ice hockey player Wayne Gretzky in second place with 11.4 per cent.
Broadcast journalist Tony Burman, singer-songwriter Neil Young and philanthropist Peter Allard made up the rest of the top five.
Born in Edmonton, Alberta, Fox first found fame in the seven-season hit show Family Ties before taking on a string of film roles.
Diagnosed with Parkinson's in 1991, the star has since raised more than $154 million (£91.8 million) towards finding a cure for the disease.
The Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research is to hold a virtual roundtable discussion later this month aimed at both clinicians and sufferers.
Ahead of the November 21st event, interested members of the public are invited to submit their questions for the expert panel through the foundation's website.

How to Make the Perfect Salad Dressing/
Because otherwise you won't eat salad.
The key to a good salad is in the dressing. Any kid or crotchety old man who has been forced to eat a salad against his better judgement, will tell you it's not so bad if he's allowed to dump a decent dressing all over it.
Packaged dressings are convenient but often rely on an excess of sugar, fat or cheap oils and ingredients to make a shelf-stable product. And while making a homemade salad dressing can seem tedious or challenging, it's actually one of the simplest and fastest things you can make in your kitchen. Plus it'll incentivize you to actually eat that salad.
While there are a lot of great dressing recipes out there, here are my rules for a making an easy and delicious salad dressing, whether or not you are following a recipe.
1. Use 2 parts oil to 1 part vinegar.
Most salad dressings use 3x as much oil as vinegar, but I like a brighter, tarter vinaigrette, so I reduce the amount of oil. Especially if you are adding beans or grains to your salad, the excess oil just makes it taste flat, in my opinion. However, if you find that ratio too tart or sour, simply add more oil until it's to your liking. Mild vinegars like rice or apple cider work especially well in this ratio.
2. Shake and store in a mason jar.
Bowls and little plastic containers are too much work for me when it comes to mixing up a quick dressing. I like to use tiny mason jars. I just add the ingredients in any order, shake it up and serve. If I'm serving it later, I just take the dressing along it the jar since it won't leak and will be easy to shake up again. Most homemade dressings can last in your fridge for 3 days and some, up to a week. Just keep it in the jar and shake as necessary.
3. Add a touch of something sweet.
While the fat in oil balances out the acidity of vinegars, your dressing can end up tasting a little two-dimensional if you only rely on these two ingredients. Instead of adding excess oil, I like to balance out the remaining acidity in vinegar with just a touch of something sweet: usually 1/2 a teaspoon or so of maple syrup, honey or coconut sugar. Since leafy greens are usually the stars of our salads, this sweetness helps counteract their bitterness. If you aren't a fan of more bitter greens like arugula or kale, try adding something sweet directly to your dressing and see how it changes your experience of that bitter taste.
4. Salt!
The word "salad" originally comes from the Latin word "sal" which means salt. So in a way, it's really the most important ingredient in your salad! ("Sal" is also the root of the word salary because Roman centurions used to be paid in salt, which really underscores the importance and value of salt.) Without salt, we won't be able to taste all the vegetables and our final dish will taste bland. Be sure to add a generous pinch of sea salt straight to your salad dressing--that way you'll stretch a little bit of salt to all the nooks and crannies of your greens.
5. Change up your usual dressings.
While I love a basic lemon vinaigrette or an Italian dressing, new combinations can make the same old salad feel fresh and new. Try mimicking the flavorings of the next dressing you get at a restaurant--ask the server what's in it (probably only a few ingredients) and use those flavors, plus the ratios and tips I've given you here to recreate it at home.
Here are a few of my favorite formulas:
- Toasty Walnut Dressing:
1 tablespoon aged Balsamic vinegar + 2 tablespoons toasted walnut oil + salt
- Shallot-Tamari Vinaigrette:
1 tablespoon rice vinegar + 2 tablespoons shallot-infused oil* + 1 teaspoon tamari + dash of maple syrup + dash of toasted sesame oil
- Cilantro-Lime Vinaigrette:
1 tablespoon lime juice + 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil + handful of cilantro + 1 teaspoon honey + salt (use blender)
Have a favorite go-to salad dressing? Post it in the comments below!
*To make shallot oil, heat a grapeseed oil in a small skillet or pot and sizzle a sliced shallot in it for 5 minutes.

During his May 22nd testimony on Capitol Hill, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke dropped a bombshell when he said that the Fed could pull back on its bond buying "in the next few [FOMC] meetings," depending on prevailing economic data. Many investors interpreted the comment as a hint that the Fed's stimulus was coming to an end. Remember that the Fed keeping interest rates low has spurred many investors into stocks, because they seemed preferable to cash, bonds or commodities. If rates start to rise, that decision may change. Guess what? Things are changing!
In the US, stocks are only down about 2 percent from the intraday high on May 22nd (now dubbed "B-Day" for Bernanke), but other markets are down more dramatically: bonds plunged about 7 percent; emerging market stocks have tumbled 10 percent; emerging market currencies are off sharply; and Japanese stocks have sunk 15 percent from recent highs.
With markets on a seemingly-unending daily roller coaster ride, here's what you should do: NOTHING. This prescriptive measure is geared towards investors who have been sticking to their game plans and rebalancing ever quarter or so. If you are in that category, please sit still and don't do anything.
But if you have been flying by the seat of your pants, use this market volatility as an opportunity to review where you stand, create a target allocation and force yourself to rebalance according to your goals.
Here are 6 more tips for every investor:
- Dont let your emotions rule your financial choices. There are two emotions that tend to overly influence our financial lives: fear and greed. At market tops, greed kicks in and we tend to assume too much risk. Conversely, when the bottom falls out, fear takes over and makes us want to sell everything and hide under the bed.
- Maintain a diversified portfolio. One of the best ways to prevent the emotional swings that every investor faces is to create and adhere to a diversified portfolio that spreads out your risk across different asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, cash and commodities. (Owning 5 different stock funds does not qualify as a diversified portfolio!)
- Avoid timing the market. Repeat after me: "Nobody can time the market. Nobody can time the market." One of the big challenges of market timing is that requires you to make not one, but two lucky decisions: when to sell and when to buy back in.
- Stop paying more fees than necessary. Why do investors consistently put themselves at a disadvantage by purchasing investments that carry hefty fees? Those who stick to no-commission index mutual funds start each year with a 1-2 percent advantage over those who invest in actively managed funds that carry a sales charge.
- Limit big risks. If you are going to make a risky investment, such as purchasing a large position in a single stock or making an investment in a tiny company, only allocate the amount of money you are willing to lose, that is, an amount that will not really affect your financial life over the long term. Yes, there are people who invest in the next Google, but just in case things don't work out, limit your exposure to a reasonable percentage (single digits!) of your net worth.
- Ask for help. There are plenty of people who can manage their own financial lives, but there are also many cases where hiring a pro makes sense. Make sure that you know what services you are paying for and how your advisor is compensated. It's best to hire a fee-only or fee-based advisor who adheres to the fiduciary standard, meaning he is required to act in your best interest. To find a fee-only advisor near you, go to NAPFA.org.

Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center has received the following certifications, designations and awards:
US News & World Report Best Hospital
Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center has been named a 2019–20 Best Hospital for cancer by U.S. News & World Report. The Buffalo, N.Y., comprehensive cancer center was ranked by the news outlet as 14th among nearly 900 cancer hospitals reviewed nationwide, and was also recognized as high-performing within two other categories: colorectal and lung cancer surgery.
Becker's Hospital Review: 100 Hospitals and Health Systems with Great Oncology Programs
Becker's Hospital Review compiles an annual list of centers that are national leaders in patient care, cancer outcomes and research. In selecting facilities for its "Great Oncology Programs" feature, the Becker's editorial team analyzed data from such sources as U.S. News & World Report, HealthGrades, Thomson Reuters, the National Cancer Institute, the American College of Surgeons and the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
Blue Distinction Center for Cancer Care*
Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center was one of the first in the country to be recognized as a Blue Distinction® Centers for Cancer Care due to its proven history of delivering exceptional care and results. It was also recognized for incorporating patient-centered and data-driven practices to coordinate cancer care and improve quality and safety, under a value-based payment model. The distinction also reflects the cancer center's focus on each patient's experience. A team of physicians and nurses work with patients and their families to set care goals and treatment plans to improve quality of life.
Blue Distinction Center for Blood and Marrow Transplants
Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center is one of three centers in New York State to be designated a Blue Distinction® Center for Transplants by the BlueCross BlueShield Association (BCBSA). Blue Distinction Centers deliver quality specialty care based on objective, transparent measures for patient safety and health outcomes that were developed with input from the medical community.
Commission on Cancer
Established by the American College of Surgeons (ACoS) in 1922, the multidisciplinary Commission on Cancer establishes standards to ensure quality, multidisciplinary, and comprehensive cancer care delivery in health care settings; conducts surveys in health care settings to assess compliance with those standards; collects standardized data from CoC-accredited health care settings to measure cancer care quality; uses data to monitor treatment patterns and outcomes and enhance cancer control and clinical surveillance activities, and develops effective educational interventions to improve cancer prevention, early detection, cancer care delivery, and outcomes in health care settings.
Guardian of Excellence by Press Ganey
Roswell Park is a 2017 Press Ganey Guardian of Excellence Award winner in the area of Patient Experience. Guardian of Excellence awards recognize healthcare organizations that have consistently performed in the 95th percentile or above in a particular area of operations.
Joint Commission Accreditation
A hospital needs to be an accredited Institution in the eyes of CMS to be eligible for reimbursement for Medicaid reimbursement. The Joint Commission is a regulatory body that provides this eligibility to hospitals, and does so by confirming that the hospital is practicing in a manner that is safe for their patients. This is a process which includes an annual review of standards, and every third year an intensive survey is conducted where Joint Commission surveyors conduct an on-site review that covers all levels of care that can impact a patient. This includes but is not limited to, the hospital's building being up to code for fire safety, proper documentation and care being received by patients and even reviewing policies and procedures of the Institution.
Joint Commission Palliative Care Certification
A new program being offered through the Joint Commission, Roswell Park was an early adopter of the Palliative Care Certification, completing this certification shortly after it was offered in 2011. The Palliative Care Program at Roswell Park is one that engages patients throughout their care, allowing for the patient and their family to be actively involved in the choices for their care. These choices include but are not limited to symptom management when undergoing treatment, choosing the path of care that best matches the patient's wishes and planning for end of life care, whenever that arises. This certification is achieved by yearly monitoring and a bi-annual on-site visit where a Joint Commission surveyor reviews the program.
NCI Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center
Roswell Park is among the first cancer centers in the country to be designated a "Comprehensive Cancer Center" by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), and has held that distinction without interruption since 1974. We are the only NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center in Upstate New York, and one of only 51 in the entire nation. We are one of 69 Nationally Designated Cancer Centers through the NCI. This means that we are one of a select few hospitals which can translate the latest scientific knowledge into the cutting edge cancer treatments of tomorrow. Simply put, this designation allows for newer treatments to be available to patients that do not exist in the regular community hospital setting.
National Comprehensive Cancer Network
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) is a not-for-profit alliance of 27 of the nation's leading cancer centers. Experts from NCCN Member Institutions diagnose and treat all cancers, particularly complex, aggressive or uncommon cancers. More than 160,000 new patients receive cancer care at NCCN Member Institutions over the course of each year. Thirty-eight Nobel Prize winners have served on the faculties of NCCN Member Institutions. Many Roswell Park faculty serve on the NCCN panels that create the Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology, the internationally recognized standards for clinical policy in oncology, and the most comprehensive, most frequently updated clinical practice guidelines available in any area of medicine. Read the Roswell Park NCCN Member Institution Profile.
Partnership for Patients
Roswell Park participates in the Partnership for Patients, which is a group of 4,000 participating hospitals that focus on making care safer for their patients. This group shares best practices to help participating hospitals attempt to decrease things such as, adverse drug events, Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections, Central Line Blood Stream Infections, Injuries from Falls and Pressure Ulcers, among others. The Partnership is looking for this collaboration to decrease preventable hospital acquired conditions by 20 percent by the end of 2017 when compared to 2014.
*Blue Distinction Centers (BDC) met overall quality measures for patient safety and outcomes, developed with input from the medical community. A Local Blue Plan may require additional criteria for facilities located in its own service area; for details, contact your Local Blue Plan. Blue Distinction Centers+ (BDC+) also met cost measures that address consumers' need for affordable healthcare. Each facility's cost of care is evaluated using data from its Local Blue Plan. Facilities in CA, ID, NY, PA, and WA may lie in two Local Blue Plans' areas, resulting in two evaluations for cost of care; and their own Local Blue Plans decide whether one or both cost of care evaluation(s) must meet BDC+ national criteria. National criteria for BDC and BDC+ are displayed on www.bcbs.com. Individual outcomes may vary. For details on a provider's in-network status or your own policy's coverage, contact your Local Blue Plan and ask your provider before making an appointment. Neither Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association nor any Blue Plans are responsible for non-covered charges or other losses or damages resulting from Blue Distinction or other provider finder information or care received from Blue Distinction or other providers.

So we had our CB3 meeting and now the final hurdle in our attempt to be able to get Club Cumming back to doing what it was doing nearly three months ago is the State Liquor Authority meeting on Wednesday 30th May at 10am. please chant for us! Hopefully we will get the result we feel we deserve and we can go back to entertaining the Club Cumming family, paying all our young performers who have not been able to do their jobs these last few months and rebuilding the amazing sense of downtown performance community that has been so ravaged by this bureaucratic nightmare. Just one more week till the big day!!!!
Lots of people have been asking me about the Club Cumming situation, and so I thought I'd address it all here…
First of all I want to thank everyone who has reached out to express their support and concern about the bar having to stop DJs and live performance. It has been truly humbling to read how Club Cumming has become such a beloved and needed addition to the East Village - and especially to the queer community - since it opened only 6 months ago.
As I told the New York Post last April, my mission was to create "a home for everyone of all ages, all genders, all sexualities, who all enjoy letting go and making some mischief. No judgments, no attitude, no rules, except kindness, acceptance and fun." And I am so proud and happy to say that's what has happened! I hear it from the people I encounter in the bar and around the East Village where I live, as well from the flood of emails and letters we've received since our problems became known.
So what exactly are our problems?
In a nutshell, when Daniel Nardicio and I became partners with the former Eastern Bloc owners Darren Dryden and Benjamin Maisani and opened Club Cumming, we had no idea that our liquor license did not include live performance or DJs (just background music). Had we known, we would have obviously added those to the license before opening as our whole ethos at Club Cumming is to offer our patrons the chance to hear and see the best in live music, comedy, theatre and everything else we can squeeze into our tiny space!
We became aware of the error via a notice from the State Liquor Authority, who in turn had been told of our mistake by our local community board. Immediately we consulted our lawyer and began the process of righting this wrong. Ultimately, he advised that we should stop all DJs and live performances to show the SLA and the Community Board we were complying and trying to make amends for our oversight.
We are very grateful that our case will be heard at the Community Board 3 meeting at 6:30 pm, on Monday, April 9, 2018 at Perseverance House Community Room, 535 East 5th Street (btwn Aves A & B). We will be pleading our case for the right to return live performance to our bar and allow once more our Club Cumming community to thrive. Please come along and support us, especially if you are a resident of the East Village or a close neighbor. Or you can send a message of support to firstname.lastname@example.com.
In the meantime, the bar is open for fun and frolics, but we miss all our performers and DJs, as I'm sure they miss both the chance to express themselves and the income they are missing when we are on this hiatus. Hopefully we can welcome them, and all members of Club Cumming old and new, back soon! Thanks, Alan x
'Club Cumming is the neighborhood's best new addition in years. I beseech the SLA to give Club Cumming the permission it needs. It would be heartbreaking if the bar could not continue with its hugely successful and valuable mission: providing employment to myriad performers, showcasing exciting new work and infusing cultural lifeblood into the East Village'
Adam Feldman, theater critic, Time Out
'It's a place to gather with old friends and make new ones, and it upholds the best of the East Village's legacy as a breeding ground for performance, inclusiveness, and style. It also provides work for a lot of talented people'.
Michael Schulman New York Times/The New Yorker

The Hill
House Judiciary Committee Chairman James Sensenbrenner Jr. (R-Wis.) announced yesterday that he would invite Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and FBI Director Robert Mueller to testify before his committee about the search of Rep. William Jefferson's (D-La.) congressional office.
In addition, House General Counsel Geraldine Gennet sent a letter to the Justice Department yesterday recommending a meeting next week to work out procedures that both sides could agree on for federal investigators to search congressional offices.
Sensenbrenner made his announcement during a committee hearing yesterday morning to discuss the constitutionality of the FBI's late-night raid earlier this month of Jefferson's office in the Rayburn House Office Building.
"This is a constitutional issue that is a matter of grave concern," Sensenbrenner said during his closing remarks.
The hearing, which featured a one-sided panel of legal experts and one former member, highlighted the ways in which Sensenbrenner says federal prosecutors violated the Speech or Debate Clause of the Constitution by seizing protected documents as part of their investigation into charges that the Louisiana lawmaker was bribed.......

Manages to have a epic feeling without losing its heart. The film has some great action scenes,with Magneto lifting up a whole stadium being pretty epic to watch. But the quieter scenes manage to be just as effective. Also the music in this found i found really effective.
The dynamic between Xavier and Magneto is center stage once again,and it is wonderful to watch there scenes together. In particular,seeing Xavier grow from a broken man into a leader is interesting to watch. Mystique is also given a more prominent role this time, with the whole film in a way revolving around her ultimate decision.
The returning cast from both First Class and the first slew of X-men films are all top notch. Evan as Quicksilver brought some comedic relief to the proceedings, and Dinklage made for a great villain.

Miss B&J Afro Cuisine
There is no shortage of African restaurants in Chicago...featuring the more popular cuisines. Craving poulet yassa? There are plenty of Senegalese restaurants to choose from? Are you one of those strange people who likes injera? Ethiopian restaurants here, there and everywhere! Nigerian cuisine is very similar to Cameroon's, so I had always settled for the myriad of Nigerian restaurants around town whenever I had a craving. But when I learned that a new restaurant had come to town, and it was Cameroonian...I nearly died of happiness. I simply had to go.
My sister and I made the long trek up north to the edge of Chicago, about an hour's drive, in order to feast.
Pro Tip: Order in advance because all food is made to order from scratch.
It took us a while to decide what we wanted because we kept going back and forth. We were so spoiled for choice with all the popular Cameroonian classic dishes. We called to tell them we were coming in for dinner and ordered our meals. It was a good thing we did that because the food was ready almost as soon as we arrived 45 minutes later!
Koki Beans and Plantain.
Fufu and Eru.
Ndole and Plantain.
We also tried the Porridge Yam, but I don't have a picture of it.
The food was delicious. I mean, not as good as my grandma's cooking (nothing ever is - she's the best cook known to man), but amazing nonetheless. I would go back all the time if it were closer but I am so glad we (Cameroonians) finally have something in the vicinity.
Have you ever tried Cameroonian food? If so, what is your favorite dish?

Six-Sadded, Die. - Trogdor's Fiery Rage
From Homestar Runner Wiki
In the fourth episode of Six-Sadded, Die, Strong Sad explains the intricacies of Trogdor's fiery rage in Trogdor!! The Board Game.
Cast (in order of appearance): Strong Sad
Date: Monday, October 30, 2018
Running Time: 4:30
{Shot of a black surface; Strong Sad places down a die, revealing it to resemble his head}
STRONG SAD: Six-Sadded, {sound slows down as logo fades in} Die.
{Fade to black and then fade into a top down shot of Trogdor!! The Board Game}
STRONG SAD: {rolls R} Grrrreetings again, Six-Sadders! Today I'm highlighting another of my favorite parts of Trogdor!! The Board Game. And this time, it's Trogdor's Fiery Rage.
{Excerpt from the Strong Bad Sings cut of "Trogdor" plays:}
STRONG BAD: {screaming} TROGDO—!!!
{Music cuts off abruptly and returns to regular Six-Sadded Die background music}
STRONG SAD: This occurs at the end of the game, if you have not successfully burninated the countryside, the peasants, and the thatched-roof {stresses last syllable} cottages. We're catching up with Trogdor after he's just completed his moves, and I of course chose to play with my Chiaroscuro Trogdor, I hope you will do the same, {says the following in the same tone of voice} Six-Sadders, roll a sad six, represent. So now it's the countryside's turn. So, we pick a Movement card, and first, we spawn our peasants. Now, the card has two peasants, but we've only got one on the board, and it demands another peasant! So we take one peasant from the Trog-meter, and he is spawned from any unburninated cottage— I choose this one, for reasons I do not care to disclose. And now it's time to move them in the spirit of my favorite unproduced Don Bluth film, "Peasants Goes West"!
{Strong Sad moves each peasant on the board one space west.}
STRONG SAD: West, west. And now it's time to move the knights and archers. So we look back at our Movement card, and they're all going to go {moves the first knight} north, east, east, north, north. Oh, and this one scores a direct hit on Trogdor! We lose another peasant from our peasant meter. He goes over here, into our new The Void card, where all the peasants that you lose from taking damage go. So let's see what happens with the other two. {Moves the second knight, video is sped up} North-east-east-north-north—and the Troghammer&Mdash; {Moves the Troghammer, video is sped up} north-east-east-north-north—and last, the archers. {Moves the archer piece, video is sped up} North, east, east, north, north! But remember, the archers shoot arrows in both directions! Arrowed! Trogdor's taken damage from a knight or archer on an empty Trog-meter. So this triggers Trogdor's Fiery Rage.
{Same excerpt from the Strong Bad Sings cut of "Trogdor" plays:}
STRONG BAD: {screaming} TROGDO—!!!
{Music cuts off abruptly and returns to regular Six-Sadded Die background music}
STRONG SAD: Trogdor doesn't lose, he rage-quits! We will draw five consecutive Movement cards. Trogdor will follow the movement path on each of those. {speaks in a salesman's cadence as he lists the following} He gets {"Automatic Perma-Burnination" appears on-screen} Automatic Perma-Burnination. He gets {"Wraparound Movement" appears on-screen} Wraparound Movement. He automatically {"Auto-Peasant/Knight Kill" appears on-screen} kills peasants, knights, and the Troghammer! If he can burninate the entire countryside, all the peasants, and all the thatched-roof {stresses last syllable} cottages, then he is victorious! And then, probably takes {speaks normally, background music stops} a really long nap. I would. I have to take, like, a three-hour nap just after eating a bowl of tom kha gai soup. {background music starts again} Okay, so here we go. We draw our first card, and Trogdor moves, burninating the tile he is on and any knights or peasants on it.

There is something special about getting a new ride. Maybe it's that "new car smell", or perhaps the confidence and pride you gain while driving around in a fresh whip, showing it off to all your friends and family. People get attached to their cars, just like homes, and it's a fairly large and exciting life event when you are ready for an upgrade.
Recent studies suggest people in the US are starting to buy less cars in their lifetime. There are a lot of factors supporting this, such as increased vehicle reliability, and also for financial reasons like avoiding additional debt and continued vehicle payments. This is especially true for millenials who struggle post graduation with digging out of student loan debt. This means that it's even more important to make the right decision when the time comes. Regardless of frequency, for most people there will come a time when you need to get a new vehicle, but when I say new I don't necessarily mean "new new". There are a ton of benefits associated with buying a new "used car" that may make it more attractive when you're ready for that upgrade (for all generations, not just millennials).
MSRP: You don't have to settle
Have you always dreamed about owning an Audi A4, but can only afford a VW Jetta? Many people choose to wait for cars to come off a two to three year lease, and circle back to the dealer when they go back into inventory. A new base Audi sedan can cost around $45,000 which is a lot of money, but if you wait 3 years, that same car with low miles will cost around 45% of the original purchase price. Let someone else absorb heavy depreciation, and pick up your dream car at an amazing value. Often times you can get them with less than 36K miles on them and newer body styles; it's essentially like buying a new car at half the price. Buying a car that is a few years old is generally a better investment and you don't have to save up or settle for a brand or model you aren't in love with.
Certified Ride
When you buy a new vehicle, the industry standard for a warranty is 3 years or 36k miles for coverage. This is good, but problems don't usually start popping up until you get into the higher mileage. Did you know that if you buy a certified pre-owned vehicle with low miles you will be covered for 6 years or 100k miles? Think about it it this way, if you buy a vehicle that is 2 years old with 20k miles, you will be covered for the next 80k miles! These warranties are generally built into the purchase price of a vehicle, so you don't have to worry about any additional line item costs. I have seen cars go from $25,000 in value one day to $2500 in the blink of an eye; but with a long lasting warranty you can have peace of mind and protect your big investment. Having extended coverage is important and can save you from incurring large and unexpected bills.
Insurance Costs
One of the last things people think about when purchasing a new vehicle is the additional and ongoing costs such as insurance, because you're usually focused on the shiny new car you are about to buy. On average, a used vehicle will cost you less per month than insuring a brand new car, because the value dropped during the initial depreciation period. Insurance impacts the overall cost to own and operate your ride, so it's an added perk when you choose used over new. Make sure to contact a local agent prior to purchase so they can give you free policy estimates, and don't be afraid to shop around; you would be surprised how much rates can vary between different providers locally.
Equity and Resale
Unless you're buying a 1965 Shelby Mustang, a vehicle purchase isn't really an investment, because the value is sure to go down in almost all situations. However, some cars depreciate faster than others and others will hold equity better. Not everyone realizes this, but in the first 3 years of vehicle ownership you suffer the biggest loss in terms of depreciation. On average cars depreciate at 5-9 thousand dollars in the first year alone! For instances, if you buy a new $23,000 VW Passat and put $5,000 down, after 12 months you will have negative equity, even after making payments on top of the down payment for a year. The reason for this is in the first year alone a VW passat depreciates by a whopping $8,000! When you buy a used car that is around 3 years old you are letting someone else take on that pesky depreciation. After a few years the depreciation schedule levels out to around $1400 per year which allows you to maintain the equity you initially put in, and are able to build more on top of it. I always recommend buying a used vehicle around 2-3 years old instead of new, especially if you think you won't keep it for a minimum of 5-7 years.

S-T-R-E-T-C-H it Out!
For most of my young life, I felt I was too tall – too tall for boys, too tall for heels, too tall to ever be called cute. I was always in the back row of class photos and could never be inconspicuous. My posture suffered as I tried in vain to shrink down and blend in, which of course only made me more conspicuous. A pronounced slump is clearly not attractive! When my self-image finally "grew" into my height, I straightened up to claim my full 5'10 ½ inches. Now at the age when loss of height can be an issue, I am conscious of maintaining my height and look forward to being measured at my annual physical. While there is nothing we can do to stop the aging process, there are a number of things we can do to stay tall, including working on posture and alignment, ensuring the health of our skeleton, and of course, stretching out our muscles.
Stretching is one third of a well-rounded workout (the other two being aerobic exercise and strength training). After you've been contracting the muscles repeatedly in your aerobic workout – walking, running, cycling, swimming, etc. – it's important to lengthen them out by stretching. The same principle applies to strength training: after the muscles have been contracting against resistance, they need to be stretched out to their full length. Short, bunchy muscles will never give you a long, lean line.
Your workout is not over until after you've finished stretching! I always allow five or ten minutes after my run to do a full-body stretch. Although running primarily involves the legs, the upper body and core are also integral to the movement. I perform the stretches as part of my cool-down in the park or outside my building, knowing that if I come back inside I may get distracted and skip them.
It's advisable to stretch every day, even on days you don't exercise. Take a lesson from your pet dog or cat and notice that they stretch periodically throughout the day. You can move your joints to help wake up in the morning and get your circulation going. Or take a few minutes in the evening in order to counteract the demands of your daily activities and discharge tension from the muscles.
And definitely make it a point to conclude every workout with appropriate stretches for the muscles you used. Lengthening the muscles will help keep you tall and straight. Being flexible makes you agile and keeps your movements fluid and youthful.
