Well it's been a love/hate relationship.
I'm still thrilled about my new TV. Let's get that out of the way. The spark is still there…I'm still lamely excited to walk into my apartment and see this greeting me.
I've had the damn thing for about 2 months.
It has lived up to many promises, and it's also failed to fulfill many others.
It was the first time I bought a big television in years because I feel television is "beneath" me. Television is shit. There is nothing on television that is worthy of my brain power. It is crap. But if you can promise me a mixture of television and internet, a combination of elective stupidity and programmed imbecility, how in the world can I refuse? So there I went, a few days prior to Halloween. I forked out big money on an unproven technological wet dream A high definition television which promised to deliver the power of the internet. I was uninformed and ignorant. I thought I would be able to disconnect my cable TV solely on the power of this purchase alone. This proved to be a joke. You cannot get "free" programming on the Sony internet television. Not even that crap the networks feed into your home every night. If you wait, you will have to pay to see it weeks later. Which is even more intellectually demeaning.
Oh yeah. Two months later.
This morning, after powering up the television, I discovered there was finally a scheduled firmware update from Sony. I've been waiting for this. Because the Sony internet televisoin is a major "work in progress." See, I expected this when i bought the TV. I expected major revisions and patches…I did not expect a completed product. It was a technological maiden voyage, and it has not failed to live up to such underachieving demands. I know how technological progress advances and I was willing to work within this framework when I purchased this.
The new update addresses my Netflix gripe.
The original Netflix app is half-assed. It only launches the Netflix cue. There is no direct way to select, delete, or choose movies from the app. It only allows you to play. What you need to do is sign in to Netflix through the browser, choose a movie and add it to your cue. Then, you need to sign back in to the app and select that movie from the cue and play it. Not the worst thing in the world, but you don't buy a "state of the art" piece of equipment to take more steps to do the same thing. The new Netflix interface is a little snazzier. It flows.
I didn't buy this damn thing so I could switch back and forth between apps in order to watch movies. That's the whole point of this "app" bullshit. I'm thrilled Sony fixed this. That was a major drawback to the existing Netfllix!
Back to my original review: I found the following "drawbacks" are still not fixed. They present serious obstacles to any prospective Sony internet television shopper who is clearly conscious of his or her own spending practices.
* ABC, CBS and NBC live feeds or taped programs still do not work. The network feed is incompatible with the Sony internet television, either through design or neglect. Bottom line, you can't watch anything for free on your state-of-the-art TV (unless you fork out extra money for a DVR add-on) or, $7.99 for Hulu, which brings me to…
*Hulu still does not fucking work on the Sony TV!
I don't know what the hell is going on with Sony. Hulu Plus is in place with other internet television brands, but it just won't hunt when it comes to Sony. It's pretty infuriating. There is so much crap on Hulu that I would actually pay $7.99/mointh for it (which is incidentally still a rip-off) but I won't spend a penny until they cement these details and bring Hulu to this platform. It's ridiculous that after I spent this much money on a new television that I don't have the option of bringing Hulu to my screen. There were some temporary patches/shortcuts/CHEATS people used to circumvent the technological barriers, but evidently Hulu and Sony caught on and shut them down quick. Hulu and all 3 major networks are still off limits to Sony internet television for the time being. In fact, for a long while. Off the Hulu site, this is the "long range" forecast:
And you have Pandora.
I have been using Pandora for a couple of months and the stream breaks all the time when I use the Sony app.
The music just goes silent.
I even purchased the $36/year subscription and still…my music feed goes silent for minutes at a time.
The Pandora app in the Sony television sucks and doesn't work well! I now circumvent this obstacle by signing on to the Chrome browser, logging directly into Pandora, and listen to my music that way. Uninterrupted. Obviously the app is broken.
The update also addresses certain "remote handheld" issues. The handheld's roller mouse feature sucked really badly. It was janky and slow and imprecise. At one point, it made me click "dislike" on a Pandora song that I actually "loved!" That irritated me. Now you can control the roller's sensitivity and speed. It appears to track more accurately now. I think. The update helped.
If I had to do it all over again, would I have bought the Sony internet television?
Back in October, I would have leaned 90/10.
Now, it's slipping.
Sony needs to resuscitate this floundering platform and get its contractual obligations straight.
I bought this shit on the premise that I would disconnect my cable television. Once the Sony TV slipped in to fill that void. What a mistake. One of my great non-stellar moves.
If you're a billionaire…buy it.
If you value your money…I would wait a while.

I know that I have written a lot about millennials and home buying lately. But, like I said before, millennials are the biggest generational group EVER! I promise I'm not just pandering to the largest group of customers that's out there. I am myself a part of that group, so these topics matter to me personally!
I came across an article from U.S. News a couple of months back that addresses some of the problems that Millennials face with obtaining mortgages and how to overcome them. I didn't get around to writing a post about it at the time, but I'm at an open house now and decided to be productive with my down time!
According to the article, "How Millennials Can Overcome Hurdles to Homebuying," written by Geoff Williams, only 36% of homeowners are 35 or younger. That is the lowest percentage for that age bracket in 33 years. That number may not seem so important, but if you consider that Millennials are to be surpassing baby boomers in volume this year, you'll understand that millennials should be achieving home ownership at a higher rate. There are a multitude of reasons for why this is not the case. Some are economical and some are lifestyle.
There are a few economical reasons why home ownership is lacking for Generation Y. First and foremost is STUDENT DEBT. I don't want to discuss the politics or economics of student debt much on this forum. Let's just say that it is an epidemic that is going to cause another economic collapse unless it is handled with diligence. We need some student loan forgiveness packages soon or we are going to face another under stimulated economy and a massive wave of defaulters. It's obvious that swinging the finances to pay your mortgage, insurance and taxes can be made much more difficult when you're shelling out $500 per month to Sallie Mae. That one is apparent. The other reason that student debt is endemic to home purchases is that it greatly affects your debt-to-income ratio. This is the formula that a lender will look at to see how much your monthly obligations are in terms of outgoing payments. This is usually occupied by housing expenses, credit card payments, car payments, insurances, bills and student loan repayments. These loans didn't exist in such magnitude in years gone. We are now adding a new line of debt to the ratio which increases the debt total. This effectively lowers your usable income drastically. That means every dollar more that you owe Sallie is a dollar less that your mortgage provider can count on. Unfortunately, there is no real solution to this. Either there will need to be some kind of student debt refinance or one will just have to pay their principal debt down enough to satisfy their chosen lender.
The next issue that many young, potential homebuyers face is low income. Just because you have low income does not mean that you can not qualify for a mortgage. It just means that you have less options. Less income means less houses to choose from and less lenders that will lend to low earners. Fortunately, there are loans such as FHA loans that are government backed and are meant to provide home ownership to both first time homebuyers, low earners and others in similar situations. Most FHAs are accompanied by a low down payment, often only 3.5% of the purchase price and have interest rates of as low as 3.75%. There are some set backs to FHAs. The amount of paperwork involved is staggering. But, you also have to pay PMI (private mortgage insurance), which is an additional fee on top of your mortgage payment that the lender gets to keep in case the borrower defaults. This is a safety measure meant to provide the lender with some additional revenue since they are often lending to less-than-safe borrowers. This ranges from $50-150 per month. Again, there is no real way to remediate this. As any young person will tell you, optimal employment has become more difficult to secure in recent years and not for lack of trying.
The last financial hurdle is lack of credit or bad credit. In most mortgage situations, the lender can not work with a credit score of less than 600. Sometimes they can lend to a borrower with as little as a 580 credit score, but they must have a higher income than usual. Of course, it is hard to maintain high credit when you have both a lack of income and student debt and many of these economic hurdles are cyclical. Not to mention that financial literacy is not a topic that is given much attention to our youth. In some ways a lack of credit is worse than bad credit. I know a lot of young adults that do not want lines of credit because they have not only seen their predecessors let their balances get out of hand, but many say that they do not trust themselves with credit cards. If you do not have a credit history, the bank has no way of being able to tell whether or not you are a reliable borrower and hence won't risk the chance of lending to those individuals. If you have bad credit, at least you have the foundation in which to repair your credit score and show that you are now capable of managing your debts. The solution to credit issues is fairly simple. Make you payments on time all the time and try to keep at least 50% of your available credit available! Even less of a balance or none at all, if you can! If you have no credit... Apply for it! And if you can't get approved by one of the big companies, try to get a line of credit from a store or vendor that provides one. Before long, you will receive more credit offers as long as you have treated that Target card responsibly.
There are also some lifestyle choices that millennials make that prevent them from buying a home. One being that they choose to migrate to metropolitan areas with higher concentrations of people. These metropolitans have a higher cost of living and are therefore more expensive to purchase homes in. There is nothing wrong with this. It's just presents a difficulty. Another Factor that has affected the number of Millennials buying homes is that many of them simply do not want to be tethered to one place indefinitely. The world has become a much smaller place thanks to technology and we are now able to travel more freely and work from satellite. Many young people leave one area for another in search of better or more gratifying opportunities. There is nothing wrong with this, either!
At the end of the day, it comes down to having both the financial ability to buy a home and the desire to settle in that location. If you think that you're ready to do so, let me know! I'll be glad to help and I'd love to be your agent! Just lately, I've been approached by MANY more young people that are not only eager to buy, but are also qualified to buy. It's refreshing and hopeful. Now is just about the best time that there is to buy a home. The housing market is beginning to creep upward as we pull away from the recession.

Gear failures are very special things. Like a wardrobe malfunction with more bullets. If your gear dumps out on you, hopefully its in your living room.
The first time I had a serious gear failure, it was a set of Blackhawk kneepads in a force-on-force training. I dropped to the deck to get out of the line of fire and to get a better angle on things, and my kneepads shattered. Practically exploded. The plastic impact caps had broken apart, and were hanging on in shards by the rivets. Pieces of them were all over the deck.
After I got back home, I called Blackhawk, got transferred around a bunch of times, and finally got to someone at the civilian sales contracts desk. I stated what had happened, and the Blackhawk rep responded like I had lost my mind. I was told that protective gear was supposed to break, what did I want? I replied that I wanted gear that didn't shatter when used, and no, I didn't believe that kneepads were supposed to fall apart when used.
I was offered a generous 20% discount on my next order. Aaaaand that was the end of that.
After the Blackhawks, I tried a lot of different kneepads, and wasn't really happy with any of them. I tried the bulky issue Marine Corps pads, the Condors, skate pads, and so many more. All of them seemed too bulky, and inhibited normal movement. Finally, another shooter pointed me towards the Hatch X-Tak kneepads, and I haven't looked back since.
That was 5 years ago, and I still have the same pair. They are battered, dirty, scuffed and dented. The straps look they have been through a washing machine a few hundred times. But they are still 100% functional. And they don't explode when I use them.
The X-Tak series is a base of dense, high-impact foam in a Cordura shell, with two straps to secure them across the knee. The straps are elastic, and have hook and loop material to adjust to the desired tightness, and to retain the excess strap. After using these things for 5 years, the Cordura shell is starting to rip at the corners, and the elastic straps are starting to lose their stretch a bit, but by simply tightening down the strap, they are as good as new.
The straps clip into rugged metal pegs on the kneepad, and stay securely. I have never had these things come off unless I take them off. The back of the Cordura shell that contacts the kneecap is moisture-wicking and breathable for comfort. After using some other kneepads, I really appreciate this feature. The cap of the pad is a high-impact thermo plastic urethane, which is molded into a unique X-shape, giving these pads their distinctive appearance. By not covering the entire knee joint in plastic, the user still retains most of their full range of motion and agility. I have not had any issues with the straps binding or digging into the back of my leg, and the X-Tak becomes even more comfortable when broken in.
The X-shaped impact pad is slightly pinched in the middle, causing the center of the X to bulge out slightly. This struck me as odd at first, until I really started to get into the dirt with them. By incorporating a slight bend, the X-Tak can efficiently transfer the shock of impact across the face of the pad as the plastic expands and flattens out. This allows the X-Tak to deliver shock and impact absorption far out of scale with their size. The cap is secured to the body via six large rivets. These have not come loose, bent, or fallen out.
The big thing that worried me about the X-Tak series was their size. They seem small, almost like they wouldn't be able to provide the entire knee with protection. These fears proved to be unfounded. The impact absorbing foam covers the entire knee, and the polymer impact cap is right were you need it, and not where you don't.
In almost 10 years of use, I've knelt on rocks, pavement, broken glass, nails, sharp metal, rubble, gravel, dirt, mud, brush and a whole lot more, and the X-Taks have handled it all and given me a stable platform to shoot from.
|This small rip and some stains and scuffs are all the damage these have taken in years of hard use.
If you're looking for a kneepad that is lightweight, durable, and doesn't feel like you have a ton of bricks strapped to your knees, I highly recommend giving the Hatch X-Tak series a look.

A World Away: The Northernmost Inhabited Place on Earth
Alert, Nunavut, is the kind of place I used to look up on my laptop when I was supposed to be paying attention during class in college, the kind of place that is so unusual or awesomely difficult to get to that it presented a natural magnetic attraction for me.
Right up there with otherworldly destinations such as Wadi Rum, the Star Wars-esque Jordanian desert thirty miles outside the city of Aqaba, and Adamstown, the capital and only settlement on the Pitcairn Islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean — the former of which I've actually traveled to; the latter of which I can only dream of journeying to at this point — Alert is the northernmost permanently-inhabited place on Earth, sitting at the top of Ellesmere Island in the Canadian province of Nunavut.
Named after the HMS Alert, a British ship that wintered near the site in 1875-76, Alert is home to a Canadian Forces Station, an Environment Canada weather station, a Global Atmosphere Watch atmosphere monitoring observatory — all located within a single facility — and an airport, because flying there is definitely the only way you'd be able to make it.
That fact is true for every one of Nunavut's 25 isolated communities spread across the massive province that accounts for a fifth of Canada's 3.85 million square miles (it's the second largest country in the world by land mass, wouldn't you know, eh?). As Nunavut Tourism puts it: "It took thousands of years for the indigenous people of Nunavut to explore its vast expanses and there are still many corners of this beautiful territory that have never been visited by any human beings at all."
Alert is not one of those unexplored areas, however, as it has been home to the weather station located there since 1950, when Charles Hubbard started creating interest in the establishment of a network of Arctic information stations. Sadly, our good pal Chuck would die that same year after the Royal Canadian Air Force Lancaster bomber plane he was riding on crash-landed near Alert while making a supply drop.
Aside from that fun fact — fun for everyone but Charles and the eight other crew members who died in that crash, I should say — one might also be interested to learn that Alert is plunged into total darkness for four months out of the year (with another four accounting for a 24-hour daylight period); that the daily mean temperature in the area's hottest month (July) is 38.1 degrees Fahrenheit, while the mean temperature in the coldest month (February) is -27.8 degrees; and that ice cave exploration is a popular pastime for military and civilian residents alike.
That last fact, along with quite a few others I have yet to share with you, I garnered from The Globe and Mail's John Allemang, who published a wonderfully-detailed article on his trip to Alert in May 2015, accompanied by marvelous illustrations from Tonia Cowan, who is now at The Wall Street Journal.
Among the other details Mr. Allemang and Ms. Cowan were able to elucidate for me with their write-up on Canadian Forces Station Alert? Well, let's see:
A detailed medical form must be filled out before traveling to Alert due to the fact that evacuation for health emergencies can take up to 18 to 36 hours or more
Supply transports carrying passengers and perishable food items arrive at the station on a weekly basis
Two months on/two months off comprises the typical schedule for civilian workers at the station
A "mess committee" organizes games and social activities and there are social clubs for residents, such as the coffee connoisseurs who often meet in the library
Alcohol cannot be brought to Alert or consumed in private quarters, but there is a bar on site that's open nightly
What with all these wonderful revelations about the world's northernmost permanently inhabited place being thrown in your face, I can just imagine you're all jazzed up to hop on a plane and get yourself to Alert — I know I am, anyway. But here is where I must drop the bad news bomb: civilian travel to this tiny community at the top of the world is practically impossible.
Why, you might ask? Well because the Canadian Armed Forces says so, that's why. Flights to Alert typically only leave from CAF bases further south, such as the one in Trenton, Ontario, that Allemang traveled from a couple years ago. Chartered flights, it seems, are also possible, but permission from the Canadian military is still required in that scenario and, from what I've read, you have to come up with a pretty darn good reason for needing to fly to the edge of the world.
All hope is not lost, however, because travel to the next best thing, the Inuit community of Grise Fiord on the southern end of Ellesmere Island, is available for anyone willing to make the trek.
Upon a cursory glance, unless you're already located in a Canadian city like Winnipeg, Edmonton, or Montréal, that trek will involve four flights: the first to one of the three aforementioned cities (or another Canadian locale that offers the next flight in this sentence); the second to Iqaluit, the capital of Nunavut; the third to Resolute, a community situated at the northern end of Resolute Bay and the Northwest Passage; and the fourth and final flight from there to Grise Fiord.
Grise Fiord's website has more detailed information, but you may just want to avoid the headache altogether and get a travel agent on this one — not to mention a heavy-duty winter coat; the average yearly temperature there is 2.3 degrees Fahrenheit. You'll probably also want to be rich because those flights are not cheap, my friend.
In the meantime, for those of you still fixated on Alert itself, as I am, maybe consider entering the Canadian Armed Forces?

text: Share: Comments Print November 24, 2006 at 9:20 PM Yo Adrian!!! Posted by Bob Condotta Somebody had to say it after Adrian Oliver (with a lot of help from Justin Dentmon) bailed out the Huskies here tonight against Eastern Washington. As a lot of people have commented, some up-and-down performances like this are to be expected with a team as young as UW's, especially when the opponent has a player as good as Rodney Stuckey on its roster. UW coach Lorenzo Romar, in particular, didn't seem overly concerned, saying he wasn't really worried even when Eastern took a 12-point lead late in the first half. "I just felt like offensively we would start to do a little better job," Romar said. "I thought in the second half we started to take care of the basketball a lot better and started to relax. Overall, I wasn't concerned. It was just 'when is it going to happen? When are we going to get it together?' At the end of the first half, there it was." Oliver provided the spark with a half-court shot (more on that in the game story in tomorrow's paper) and by taking primary duty for guarding Stuckey in the second half and holding him to 10 points after the break — Stuckey had 21 at halftime. Stuckey said his foul trouble was the only difference (he picked up his third foul at about 16 minutes and fourth at just under six minutes) and he might have been right. But Oliver helped draw those fouls, so he deserves some credit for that. Here are some added notes: — The news on Joel Smith was worse after the game than had been reported before hand. Romar said Smith is likely out 4-7 weeks with what appears to be a reinjury of the same stress fracture he had surgery on a few months ago. But even though that means Smith could be out half the season, Romar said definitively that "he will not redshirt." — Oliver started in place of Ryan Appleby to start the second half and Romar said afterward Oliver could move into the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Idaho. "We'll see," he said. — Justin Holiday and his younger brother, Jrue, were in attendance for the game. Justin signed with UW earlier this month and Jrue could be one of the top recruits in the nation next year. Justin said they flew up today to take in a game before their season starts next week, and were flying back Saturday. It was the first time either of them had seen a game here. Justin had nothing but good things to say about it all and you can read some of that in tomorrow's paper. (I didn't have a chance to talk with Jrue). — Eastern lost to Gonzaga 90-75 to open its season and Stuckey was asked the difference between UW and the Zags afterward. "I think UW comes out and gives a little more pressure on the ball and stuff like that," he said. "GU is going to be tough. They handed it to us, but I think we were ready and we were prepared to play this game. GU was the first game of the year and we weren't clicking with each other year." Comments

Building off the success of their Genius project initiative, Moncler took over both coasts to celebrate their latest launches. In New York it was all about chill vibes and haute style, which translated into Palm Angels's Francesco Ragazzi putting his bold twist on the iconic silhouettes and styles in red and black. Dog jackets, skateboards, and more ephemera were imagined by Colette's Sarah Andelman, who worked with the Genius designers on creating exclusive merch. Taking in the scene at the Spring Street–located House of Genius were fellow collaborator Hiroshi Fujiwara, Meek Mill, and Remo Ruffini, who celebrated the latest launch with a house party.
That ethos carried over to Los Angeles, where Maxfield's parking lot was reimagined in celebration of the different visions of the Genius designers. A$AP Ferg performed for a stylish crew including Katherine Ross, Madelaine Petsch, and Sarah Snyder, all of whom grooved late into the night, in style.

Do you worry that there is not enough water for people, the economy and environment? Do you wonder if the water in our taps and rivers is safe or polluted? Do you want to know if farmers waste water, utilities charge too much, or bottled water destroys ecosystems? You are not alone in asking questions. The headlines say "drought, pollution, conflict and insecurity," but the stories offer few solutions. Living with Water Scarcity clarifies the connections among personal and social water flows in an accessible style.
On 4–5 June 2014 the Netherlands Hydrological Society (NHV), together with the Dutch Foundation for Applied Water Research (STOWA), organized a symposium on the implications of the new climate scenarios for water management. The symposium «New climate scenarios – implications for water management» was set in the framework of global developments regarding future scenarios on climate variability and change, and their impact on hydrology and water resources. It built on the presentation of new scenarios for the climate of the Netherlands for the periods 2036–2065 ('2050') and 2071–2100 ('2085') by the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) in April 2014. A summary in English lists the main findings, notions and recommendations from the discussions during the symposium.
24 October 2014, Maastricht • International symposium on droughts and low flows, including groundwater. The Netherlands Hydrological Society (NHV), together with the Deutsche Hydrologische Gesellschaft (DHG), Belgium and other international and Dutch partners, is organizing a symposium on droughts and low flows, including groundwater. It is now possible to register.
Wetlands International is pleased to invite you for an evening reception in the European Parliament on 10 December 2014, hosted by Mr Ricardo Serrão Santos, Member of the European Parliament. The event will bring together Members of the European Parliament, the European Commission and practitioners in Disaster Risk Reduction and development.
On 19 May 2014 Viet Nam acceded to the UN Watercourses Convention, making it the 35th country to join this global instrument. The accession by Viet Nam to the United Nations Watercourses Convention triggered its entry into force by bringing the number of Parties to the required total of 35. The 1997 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Non-Navigational Uses of International Watercourses (United Nations Watercourses Convention) will enter into force on 17 August 2014.
In May 2013, a year ago, Thomas Friedman, writing for the International Herald Tribune and New York Times, was one of the first to acknowledge the importance of drought, the lack of water and possibly climate change in the Syrian revolution. »Kids without books, teachers or classes for a long time — that's trouble. Big trouble.«, he wrote. And »the drought and unemployment were important in pushing people toward revolution«, a Syrian lady was quoted. Building on this and on other information, Peter Gleick, in his paper «Water, Drought, Climate Change, and Conflict in Syria», to be published in July 2014, also concludes that drought, water and agricultural management, and climatic conditions are factors in the Syrian conflict.
We are sorry to have to inform you that Professor Mike Bonell died in Paris last week. Professor Bonell was a valued colleague at the Centre for Water Law, Policy and Science and contributed significantly to the Centre in many ways. He was instrumental in obtaining UNESCO Category II status for the Centre in 2005, and his expertise in hydrology and catchment science provided a vital contribution to the Centre's multidisciplinary focus.
4–5 juni 2014, Wageningen • Op 4 en 5 juni 2014 organiseert de Nederlandse Hydrologische Vereniging (NHV) samen met STOWA een symposium over de gevolgen voor het waterbeheer van de nieuwe klimaatscenario's. Eind mei 2014 presenteert het KNMI zijn nieuwe klimaatscenario's. Nieuwe en vooral meer data, computers met meer rekenkracht en verbeterde klimaatmodellen hebben tot nieuwe inzichten geleid, met een wetenschappelijke vertaling en detaillering voor Nederland. Dit heeft ook gevolgen voor het waterbeheer. Tijdens het symposium in Wageningen zal het KNMI de nieuwe scenario's toelichten en zullen waterbeheerders, beleidsmakers en onderzoekers vertellen hoe zij met klimaatscenario's omgaan. De vertaling naar hydrologische modellen, de doorwerking naar beleid en beheer, en omgang met onzekerheden komen ook aan de orde.
Over past decades, terrestrial water fluxes have been affected by humans at an unprecedented scale and the fingerprints that humans have left on Earth's water resources are turning up in a diverse range of records. In his PhD thesis, Yoshihide Wada developed a state-of-the-art global hydrological model (GHM) and global water demand model. These were eventually coupled to quantify and distinguish human and climate impacts on surface freshwater and groundwater resources. Yoshihide Wada's thesis is composed of three major parts: Part 1. Human and climate impacts on surface freshwater resources; Part 2. Global assessment of groundwater resources; Part 3. Integrated modeling and indicators of global water resources. Yoshihide Wada was promoted cum laude!
Africa's Sahel suffers from degraded soils, erratic rainfall, and an exploding population – all of which hold huge implications for the region's food security. This year the situation is especially dire. Valerie Amos, the United Nations coordinator for emergency relief, estimated that 20 million people in the Sahel will face hunger this year, requiring $2 billion in food aid. WRI's Chris Reij writes about it.

Finished Series
Then there is my Order of the Spirit Realm series. It is finished at 4 books. But is my time in that world over? I hope not. I enjoyed visiting Van Helsing's school, not to mention the Spirit Realm. My favorite setting is actually in the Spirit Realm. There is an open meadow beneath a black velvet sky that is filled with billions of stars. This is where the reapers cross the souls in their care over to their final home.
The reapers need to keep a close eyes on those souls because werewolves are hiding in the trees nearby. Werewolves love to rip apart souls and chow down on them. Fragments float up into the sky. That's right. What you think you are seeing in that night sky is actually pieces of souls and not stars. Freaky, huh?
Anyway, I hope to one day return to that world, but I'm not sure how or when. I don't know if there will be new starring characters like in
4-Ever Hunted or if I will continue on with Bay-Lee and Nick.
When I write, I don't force the stories to come. They just do. Sometimes I dream them. So I can't make myself write a new addition to the series just because people want it. I want it too. But it will have to wait until it's time has come.
In the meantime, enjoy my other books. There are a lot to choose from. Happy reading.

Call the Midwife: Season 1
Manufacturer: BBC Home Entertainment Brand: Warner Manufacturing
Call the Midwife: Season One (BBC/DVD)A moving, intimate, funny and, above all, true-to-life look at the colorful stories of midwifery and families in East London in the Fifties, based on the best-selling memoirs of the late Jennifer Worth. When Jenny Lee first arrives in Poplar, she knows nothing about hardship, poverty or indeed, life itself. Attached to an order of nursing nuns at Nonnatus House, Jenny is part of a team of midwives who visit expectant mothers, providing the poorest women with the best possible care. Here, the streets teem with children and with just one eight-bed maternity ward to serve the whole district; most deliveries take place at home. Following Jenny as she travels through the streets to meet her patients - like Conchita, who is on her 25th pregnancy and Mary, a prostitute and pregnant at just 15 - Call the Midwife offers a fascinating insight into a community on the brink of huge social change.]]> In drawing from the memoirs of Jennifer Worth, the BBC's Call the Midwife instantly distinguished itself from most other medical dramas, largely because it's a more character-driven piece. Jessica Raine, who evokes the openhearted Judy Garland of The Wizard of Oz, plays Jenny Lee, a middle-class 22-year-old who takes a job at an Anglican convent in 1957, where the young nurses work alongside experienced nuns: calm Sister Julienne (Jenny Agutter), stern Sister Evangelina (Pam Ferris), and spacey, cake-addicted Sister Monica Joan (Judy Parfitt, who costarre...

Fetty Wap & Dej Loaf (XXL Freshman Class Freestyles)/
XXL's Freshman Class season is a busy time. The inductees perform freestyles, cyphers, roundtable discussions and more. Needless to say, they receive a lot of exposure. The first two freestyles of this year's class have now been released. Fetty Wap and Dej Loaf are up first, and they deliver a couple safe verses that don't really showcase much of their ability. Hopefully, the rest of the freshmen show us something special. Enjoy.

Hello, Heroes!
Today we're taking steps to ensure that even the newest of Heroes stand a fighting chance in battle. Players can now learn the basics of combat through a 3-battle tutorial, covering basic attacks, Guarding, Hero Powers and Morality. There's also a showdown with a most fowl foe in a brand new location!
You should probably dust off your pennants and pig-armour as we're gearing up to reveal some exciting changes to Marshall the Knight. Towards the end of October we'll be starting a spoiler week, releasing the new changes day-by-day before allowing everyone to unleash some new and improved peasant-based carnage onto the battlefield.
Finally, congratulations to all who cleared the Demon Door! We've heard your feedback regarding the displaying of the Boss Hero Power, and we'll be looking into it for future bosses. We hope you enjoyed the change of pace for this encounter as much as we enjoyed designing it!
As always, sound off in the comments to let us know what you think. And keep an eye out on http://www.fable-fortune.com, as well as our Facebook and Twitter for future updates. Our dev roadmap also has a list of upcoming features.
Happy chicken chasing!
- Gary "Cerith" Paskins, Game Designer (Mediatonic)
Features & Updates:
Learn the basics of the game by battling against the Guildmaster! The tutorial will appear for all players on your first log in of this patch. You will have the option to skip all tutorial battles immediately if you wish to do so, but whether you're a first time player or a veteran of the game, we would greatly appreciate your feedback!
- Play your cards right - All players will now be presented with a set of tutorial battles when first playing the game.
New Cards:
A new season, and new co-op events means new cards! We'll collate them here for now - did you manage to get any? What's your favourite event card so far? Let us know in the comments!
- Crazy Cat Lady - (5) 0/2, "Big Entrance: Summon three 2/1 Fluffy Cats."
- Double Agent - (5) 5/5, "Big Entrance: Give units in your hand and your opponent's hand +1/+1."
- Soul Sucker - (5) 2/2, "Big Entrance: Summon a copy of another unit, then set its Strength and Health to 1."
Bug Fixes:
- Rosewood had some sneaky flowers poking through some UI elements. We've trimmed the environment a bit.
- Some Fancy units have had their visual effects tweaked and should look much better in battles now.
- The Guildmaster's Hero Power now has its own icon.
Known Issues:
- When using the Guard button for the first time during the first tutorial, there is a 2-3 second delay before the button actually activates after it asks you to press it.

After nurturing a Hollywood career for 14 years, one that has seen him star in Firefly, Serenity and, most recently, NBC's The Playboy Club, Sean Maher has decided to stop living the lie that he himself has helped perpetuate and come out as a gay man.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the 36-year-old Maher revealed that a select few of his Hollywood acquaintances knew the secret that he'd been keeping since he graduated from NYU and moved to L.A. to star in a short-lived Fox cop show, Ryan Caulfield: Year One:
"I'm 22, I move to L.A., and it's such a cliché, but the day I arrive, publicists from the show took me out to The Ivy for lunch... They're telling me, 'You know, gosh, we'd really appreciate it if you could keep your girlfriend on the side because we want to appeal to the female demographic of the show.'... At that moment, I didn't think to say, 'Oh, I'm gay,' because right before I left New York, I had my manager tell me: 'You need to get a girl on your arm or people will start talking.' I remember telling him: 'I'm gay.' He had no idea. And he said: 'All the more reason to get a girl on your arm.' My agent was also like, 'It's best if you keep your options open. Maybe bisexual?'"
Since then, Maher kept the truth from most of his coworkers, including the ones on the Joss Whedon show for which he's best known:
"Looking back, on Firefly for instance, I do wish on day one I had told them because these are some of the most amazing people who are still like family to me... I am so grateful for that show because they saved me. I was so unhappy and lonely and to come to work everyday with that group was wonderful. It really was all I had at that point in my life."
Today, he's got a longtime partner and two young children, Sophia and Liam, and those friends on Firefly rallied behind him as he shared the news today:

Our progressive programs set us apart from other studios. We offer Mommie & Me Classes, Munchkin Music, Group Keyboard Classes, Group Ukulele Classes, Group Guitar Classes, JB Music Therapy, Open mic's & Songwriting Workshops.
A community of music and musicians has it's home at Cornerstone Music Cafe.
The studio has now been serving Calgary and area's musical needs since 1989. You'll find a wide variety of teachers to provide any student young and old alike with the musical experience they seek. Our programs include private and group lessons for all levels of student or enthusiast.
We offer lessons in the following:Piano, Violin, Voice, Drums, Percussion, Guitar, Bass, Woodwinds, Brass and Group Classes
First, and most importantly, we believe that music lessons should be fun. A child's future can be formed by music, whether they play professionally or casually. We strongly believe that playing music makes all of us better
At all costs, music must be enjoyable. Stories about kids hating music because of a bad teacher or being forced to take lessons do not happen here. Even if a child only takes for a year, it must be positive. There is a very high possibility that a person will pick up an instrument later in life if they even have a few lessons as a child.
Open the door, see if they walk through it.

Angel Feather Touch
Kevin Costalez shared with me an experience during worship he had. He was standing with his
hands outstretched worshipping the Lord when he felt somebody had touched him with a light
feather-like touch. It ran over his head, shoulders, arms, and hands along the outside of his
body. He thought it was somebody praying over him and touching him as they prayed. So, he
opened his eyes to see who it was and nobody was touching him. Everyone was still where they
were when worship had started. He immediately began thanking God for his angel encounter.
God is so awesome!

Schwaab: "A stupid goal"
Stuttgart - Bayer 04 Leverkusen edged past a resilient VfB Stuttgart side on Matchday 2 to move top of the Bundesliga table.
VfB Stuttgart
Daniel Schwaab, who put past his own keeper against his former club, was understandably disappointed with the result, but for Stefan Kießling three points were all that mattered.
bundesliga.com rounds up the post-match views of those involved...
Daniel Schwaab: I'm just disappointed, we performed well and set up well early on after changing our system. We nullified Leverkusen and their strengths, while demonstrating our own. No one could have predicted what happened, and conceding such a stupid goal, which proved decisive, is doubly hard to take.
Christian Gentner: We dominated the game, but generally our crossing wasn't accurate enough. With regards to the own goal, I certainly apportion no blame to Daniel [Schwaab], the mistakes had happened earlier. The change of system was smooth, and the fans were outstanding, as usual, which always helps.
Moritz Leitner: Two games, two defeats - not an ideal start. We'll keep working though, it's certainly not all bad.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen:
Stefan Kießling: We'll happily take the three points back to Leverkusen. It doesn't matter how you earn them. We know it probably wasn't our best match, but throughout a long season, wins like this will happen. We're not complaining.

Kelly Brook and boyfriend Jeremy Parisi have been dating for three years.
But while the pair seem to be seriously loved-up in their cottage, working on their garden together, they are still find time to argue about the little things.
Mainly licking lapdancers, to be honest.
According to reports, the couple enjoyed an evening out at a strip club with pals, when the model took a shine to one woman in particular.
And her boyfriend wasn't too impressed by her antics.
'When everyone stumbled to the club, a group of girls came over and one really took a shine to her,' an insider claimed.
'The dancer was gyrating around behind her, then Kelly reached up and licked her boob and gave her other nipple a quick fondle.
'It was all very jokey but Jeremy seemed pretty unimpressed and afterwards they had a massive row.'
However, they managed to sort the drama out pretty quickly, with the source explaining to The Sun: 'It all got sorted pretty quickly, Kelly explained she was just drunk and having a laugh and they then made up.'
Discussing the awkward night, she added to the publication: 'There I am trying to change the public's perception of me with my country cottage, gardening and baking like Martha Stewart — and then I get caught licking a boob.'
Maybe just stay away from licking strippers in the future…
Kelly recently made headlines after opening up about her relationship with model Jeremy, admitting they weren't planning to tie the knot any time soon.
But the 38-year-old vowed she isn't too fussed over marriage.
During a recent appearance on Loose Women, she explained: ''I just don't think it's something that's really high on my list of things to do.
'At the moment I'm just so loving my independence – I'm in a relationship but I'm very independent and I stand on my own two feet.'
'It's more not the marriage, it's more joining my life with somebody,' she continued. 'I like the companionship but I don't know if I want the whole thing. It's complicated.'
She joked: 'I bought my own house, I don't want to give half of that away if we split up!'
Which is fair enough…
Metro.co.uk has contacted Kelly's reps for a comment.

A little stress can be a good thing; it can be the motivation that some people need to get things done. But too much stress can be overwhelming.
With classes ending and final exams around the corner, it is important to understand the implications of stress and how to manage it.
The College Today asked Elizabeth Dixon, interim director of the College's Counseling Center, for some tips on managing stress during this high-pressure time of year.
Is it normal to be stressed?
Yes, stress is normal. Some stress is productive and too much can be counterproductive.
What is the best way to manage stress?
Make sure to take time out for yourself to engage in self-care. Make sure you get plenty of exercise, eat healthy foods, engage in hobbies and spend time with friends or loved ones.
What are things you should NOT do to relieve stress?
Don't use alcohol or drugs to cope. Avoid excessive caffeine use. Don't overwhelm yourself with over-scheduling. Avoid excessive time spent on screens. And don't avoid exercise or social contact.
What should you do if you feel overwhelmed with stress?
Ask for help, take care of yourself, re-evaluate your schedule/priorities. Engage in pro-social activities.
Anything else you want to add on this subject?
Stress is a normal part of life. How we handle it is what is important. Being good at recognizing your limits is helpful in reducing burnout and fatigue. Stressful periods do end and they are not constant. Sometimes it is just about making it through the stressful times.
If stress or other issues are impacting your well-being, the Counseling Center staff has the time, skills and willingness to help. The Counseling Center also offers support through the Cougar Counseling Team. No appointment is needed.
The Center is located in Suite 300 of the Robert Scott Small building. The phone number is 843-953-5640.

Lundy's Lane chefs are once again extending a warm welcome to visitors to join them for Fall Restaurant Week.
From Oct. 13 to 27, the popular Niagara Falls dining and entertainment district will be offering a colourful variety of delicious two- and three- course prix fixe lunch and dinner menus that will appeal to a wide range of culinary tastes.
Visitors can warm up their day with Italian classics, or enjoy contemporary fare like kale salad and bison burgers. Fancy some vindaloo or sushi? There's a Lundy's Lane chef for that.
Restaurant Week has become a popular event at Lundy's Lane, where the last occasion drew 4,800 diners eager to try out the eclectic fare. This time around, 15 restaurants will be participating, which gives diners the opportunity to try several establishments over the course of the two weeks.
"The event just keeps growing and growing," says David Jovanovic, project administrator for the Lundy's Lane business improvement area (BIA). "The last event saw a 25 per cent increase. This time we expect to see a lot more as the word spreads."
It's not just the locals spending their time in what has become known to many as Niagara's favourite neighbourhood. The Lane is also a popular destination for the many visitors that come to the city to take in the sights, sounds — and tastes — of the city. "We've come a very long way as a culinary destination as new restaurants join the fold," Jovanovic says.
"You'll find wonderful Vietnamese cuisine at Pho Bowl, or you can always enjoy the upbeat sports bar scene at Boston Pizza Americana. If you're more the high-end steakhouse type, The Meat Market has received rave reviews since opening last year. Kool Katt's has authentic Jamaican cuisine and a juice bar with a Caribbean vibe. We're also blessed with plenty of other popular new venues, such as Doc Magilligan's Irish Restaurant and Pub, Strada West, Wind Sushi, and Micah Itt's Thai & Japanese — all of which have been very well-received, for good reason."
Some come to Lundy's Lane Restaurant Week to discover a new favourite. Others like to take the opportunity to revisit one of the local standards, such as the always-popular Carpaccio Ristorante & Wine Bar, Johnny Rocco's, Magnolia Chinese, Syndicate Restaurant & Brewery, Mick & Angelo's, or Falls Manor.
Jovanovic says the evolution of the restaurant scene has been remarkable, thanks to the efforts of very talented and dedicated chefs and owners who are committed to the community they serve. "The diversity and quality of restaurants is exceptional. The best part is Restaurant Week partners are all family-run operations that are passionate about their craft and delighted to showcase what they have to offer. The owner could very well be greeting you at the front door."
He adds the operators care deeply about their establishments, Lundy's Lane and the city. "Many are very active in the community and have gone the extra mile to host or support fundraising activities for many worthwhile initiatives." These ventures include Pasta for Prostate, Heart Niagara, and many more. The Lundy's Lane BIA is also the title sponsor of 'The Good News Breakfast' benefiting Project Share, which last year raised over $125,000 in food, goods, holiday presents and cash for those who are less fortunate in the community.
As any Niagara Falls denizen knows, Lundy's Lane isn't just about the food. Beyond the city's natural wonders, visitors can also enjoy a variety of live entertainment on weekends, as well as the ever-popular shopping destination, Canada One Brand Name Outlets, and many interesting local boutiques.
All this is a far cry from the neighbourhood's origins, which date back two centuries. The area was the site of the famous Battle of Lundy's Lane between British and American troops that took place July 25, 1814. "We've been in the thick of Niagara Falls history for over 200 years," Jovanovic says. "Today it's a favourite area to hang out and enjoy great food and entertainment."
Restaurant Week is the perfect opportunity for guests to get a real taste of all the things that Lundy's Lane has to offer, he adds. "What differentiates this district is that almost every one of the 55 different eateries on Lundy's lane is owner-operated. It's literally one of those neighbourhoods where everybody knows your name. It offers the kind of hospitality that keeps people coming back. People are really craving that kind of experience and our chefs are happy to deliver it."
Visit www.lundyslane.com for more information on restaurants participating in Fall Restaurant Week, menus and a chance to win daily giveaways of dinner for two.

School Auction Art Project - Vase with Flowers - Part 1
Every year my children's school holds a huge fundraising auction. As room mother this year, I am in charge of organizing a fine art project to be made by kids ages 3-6. Flipping through magazines I came across a couple inspirational paintings. "Vase with Flowers" by Picasso and an unknown artist from the August Family Circle Magazine.
I am making this project with my own kids in addition to making it with the thirty kids in my daughter's class at school. I figured that if I didn't have my own to keep, I'd end up spending an insane amount of money buying the one I'm making for the auction. The piece for the auction is going to be 4' x 4'. Our home piece is 2' x 4'.
Our home project has 13 flowers, one for each year of each kids' life (including the 9 months of pregnancy). The school project has 30 flowers, one for each student. Each flower is hand cut out of mdf using a jigsaw. All the wood in this project was primed with two coats of primer.
The center circles are mdf of various sizes bought from Michaels Craft store. Each flower and circle is painted using craft paint with a couple colors lightly mixed together in a baby food jar in the attempt that each flower has a bit of two tone color marbling (if the little artist didn't mix it up too much).
For my drying rack, I stuck toothpicks into a box. Looks a bit like a mid-evil torchure device. After two coats and drying time, I brushed two coats of water based polyurethane over the top and sides.
I drilled one hole in the middle of each flower to fit a flat headed bolt. Next I laid each circle on it's matching flower and drilled eight smaller holes through both circle and flower. Using colored jewelry wire, I 'sewed' the circle to the flower after placing the bolt through the larger hole.
The vase was cut out of 1/4 inch mdf. I made a sample out of paper to practice with shape and size. I cut the vase out twice, leaving the center and top hollow in the second. Both were glued together using wood glue.
I cut out approximately one inch green square pieces out of magazines and the kids and I mod podged them onto the vase, wrapped the edges around to the back.
I haven't cut the vase out for the school project yet, but I plan to make it the same size as the one for our home project.
The "canvas" is actually a piece of birch plywood that Home Depot cut to size. I taped off 1/3 up from the bottom and had the little artists sponge a golden mustard color to the top 2/3rds and a grey teal to the bottom. The pictures here show the wood upside down to make it easier to paint. Both of the colors were inspired by Picasso's painting.
For the stems I plan to use a thicker wire from point A to B, and then a finer wire threaded with green glass beads and then wrapped around the thicker wire.
I'm trying to stay a couple steps ahead with my home project because I'm learning what not to do as I go along to prepare myself for the auction project. This is a fun project and I'm excited about my vision however it's a bit exhausting just thinking about it!

Why No One Talks About Ties Anymore
Factors to Consider in Buying a Necktie.
Unless you are working a blue collar job, you are likely to be in a suit and a necktie throughout the week. These are not clothing pieces which will take up much space in your closet but the attention they draw is tremendous. The easiest to fish for attention is to coordinate your outfit and many of the people you come across who have nothing against you will be expressing their thoughts on how handsome you look.In addition, finding a great necktie will draw attention because many of them are of a cheap quality. The necktie can be traced more than a century ago and the design has undergone a significant change. Given how many varieties there are, it might be quite confusing to pick the right one. The size and shapes of neckties vary widely which is why you ought to think about the proportions. With proportion, it means that you have to consider your physique and also your outfit.If you are wearing a blazer or suit jacket, you have to ensure the tie width is in line with the lapels. Remember that you will not have a well-balanced outfit if your outfit is not consistent.You will definitely draw attention but it will not be for the right reason.
The stitch in the tie is a crucial aspect. The tie bar stitch is what brings all the ends of your tie together and it is usually about 3/4 of the way up or down.The reinforced stitch comes in a horizontal form. This part keeps both sides of the tie together and offers more stability for the slip stitching. If you have ever seen a tie that bubbles up, it means the tie bar stitch wasn't done well. A bubbled up tie is something you can without and in order to ensure matters do not get out of hand you need to consider that.The fabric is the king just like when you are buying anything else. Unless you have a concrete reason not to, you should always consider neckties made of silk.Even though it is soft, it has a tensile strength and it is durable. Silk is not easily wrinkled and it always retains its shape.
If you have enough money to spend on your ties you should buy the ones which come with a slip knot. Only handmade ties will have this knot. It makes sure the quality is not affected by too much tying and also untying. The knot helps you make adjustments on the tension and this prolongs the necktie life.
