"I do not disagree that '42nd Street' is the catalyst for the opening, but I don't agree that the opening is a commercial for '42nd Street.'"Gary Smith, executive
producer, Tony Awards
THE Tony Awards telecast is starting to come together – but not without plenty of behind-the-scenes complaints, squabbles and concerns.Issue One: The opening number.
The concept is "42nd Street" on 42nd Street.
The telecast will open with 50-plus dancers from the Tony-nominated revival tapping out of the Ford Center and into the subway as they head to Radio City Music Hall.
Along the way, they will pick up cast members from the other nominated revivals – "The Rocky Horror Show," "Follies" and "Bells Are Ringing."
But the producers of those shows are grumbling that the opening montage is unfairly weighted to "42nd Street," which is favored to win the revival award, and that their shows are being folded in as an afterthought.
"The montage is nothing more than a commerical for '42nd Street,'" says Mark Balsam, a producer of "Bells Are Ringing."
"It seems that the Tonys are anointing it the winner, and that is insulting to the rest of us."
Jordan Roth, the producer of "Rocky Horror," says: "It is important that all the shows come together as equals. We would like to be part of the opening, but it is not a done deal."
Todd Haimes, artistic director of the Roundabout Theater Co., which is producing "Follies," says that while he would prefer to have his show "spotlighted on its own," he will let the Tony producers "make their own decisions."
Gary Smith, executive producer of the Tony Awards, says: "I do not disagree that '42nd Street' is the catalyst for the opening, but I don't agree that the opening is a commercial for '42nd Street.'"
He contends the montage is intended to highlight the redeveloped 42nd Street, not the show.
"It's become a major Broadway street again," he says. That's exciting and that's what we're celebrating."
Another issue for producers is the cost of taking part in the opening montage. Since much of it will be shot in the middle of the night (when there are no crowds), there will be lots of overtime for the casts and crews.
The producers of the nominated shows have to shoulder most of that cost. In the case of "42nd Street," the price is said to be nearly $300,000, although a spokesman for the show would not confirm the figure.
The other shows will have to shell out at least $100,000, Tony sources said.
Balsam is especially insensed at having to pay to take part in the opening.
"It is the height of folly," he says. "The opening is bracketed by '42nd Street.' The rest of us are squeezed in the middle, and we have to pay for the privilege."
Smith said he is aware that such an outlay will be difficult for many shows, especially those that are struggling.
The Tonys distribute some money to chip away at the costs, but each show, regardless of its financial state, gets the same amount.
"I wish," said Smith, "we could give more to those that need it, and maybe in the future we will."
Issue Two: Reba McEntire
Now that the Tonys have decided to go with the stars of "The Producers" – Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane – as hosts, what role, if any, should the glorious star of "Annie Get Your Gun" have on the telecast?
She is the biggest name on Broadway right now and one of the biggest singing stars in the world.
Her presence on the show would certainly help the ratings.
Tony sources say Barry Weissler, the producer of "Annie Get Your Gun," which won a Tony last year, is insisting McEntire perform on the Tony telecast.
But Smith said that probably will not be possible.
"If I had three hours, Reba would be singing in a minute," he said. "But there simply isn't time. And, besides, it is not fair to the current shows to devote time to a show from last season."
Smith said he has asked McEntire to present, with former "Annie Get Your Gun" star Bernadette Peters, the Tony for Best Actress in a Musical.
McEntire has not accepted the offer. She is, sources say, holding out for a performing slot.
"We are anxious to have Reba be a significant part of the Tony Award show, and we are in negotiations about that," Barry Weissler said yesterday.
Weissler may have ace up his sleeve: CBS, which is broadcasting the Tonys, is producing a TV version of "Annie Get Your Gun" starring McEntire next year. CBS, sources say, could force Smith to let McEntire perform a number from her show on the Tonys.
Issue Three: The coronation of "The Producers."
Many theater people are grumbling that, with Lane and Broderick, as co-hosts, the Tonys are simply going to be a celebration of "The Producers," a show that hardly needs any more exposure.
But Smith said Broderick and Lane will not dominate the Tonys.
"They are not going to be running throughout the show," he said. "They are doing the intro, performing their number and saying goodnight."
But, he added, "If 'The Producers' has a big presence on the Tonys, that, in my opinion, is due to the fact that it may win a lot of awards. And that is up to the Broadway community, not me."
There is plenty of interest in moving last week's Encores! production of "Hair" to Broadway next season. Richard Frankel and Tom Viertel, two of the producers of "The Producers," have made an offer. Fran and Barry Weissler are also vying for the rights . . . Look for "Urinetown" to move to a larger off-Broadway theater after it completes its run at the tiny American Theater of Actors on June 30. The Henry Miller, formerly the Kit Kat Klub, is a possibility . . . Roger Berlind, the producer of "Kiss Me, Kate," may transfer the Paper Mill Playhouse's revival of "Funny Girl" to the Minskoff in the fall.

This field is owned by the National Trust. Access to this field has been carefully negotiated with the National Trust and certain conditions have been agreed.
- The National Trust have agreed to 36 x take offs per year. Prior to your visit, please notify this site's officer through the form on the right and provide details of the names, number of Pilots, BHPA numbers and also date of visit.
- Strictly BHPA members only
The field used for take off is the access path down to Harlech Beach from the A496. This field is on the corner of the A496 just before the turn off for Llandanwg Train Station. The take off field is owned by the National Trust and permission to use it as a take off has been carefully negotiated. This field is managed in line with the National Trust's 'Land and Nature strategy', where the objective is to develop a species rich grassland, with a diverse range of grasses and wildflowers.
There is a small grassy clearing as you step through the gate onto the field with a public bench (as shown on the bottom of the left photograph). This can be used to lay out your paraglider. Please take care not to trample on the vegetation and use only the public footpath to launch, whilst also giving due consideration to other site users.
This take off is very technical due the road, walls and rotor from the cliff. Winds above 16mph become challenging and winds above 18mph are for experienced Pilots with exceptional ground handling skills only.
There is no top landing at Harlech. Land on the beach only but check the tide times. Do not attempt to top land in the fields to the left of take off. We do not have permission and also they are in extreme rotor. There is an obvious path back up the cliff from the beach leading back to take off. Circa 10 mins to walk back up.
There is a Pay & Display Car Park behind Harlech Castle. If this is full, drive to the junction (with the castle behind you), turn right and drive through the High Street for approx. 400 x yards where you will find an alternative Pay & Display. Walk along the A496 with Harlech Castle behind you, past the Toyota Garage and 50 yards before the turn off for Llandanwg Train Station is the take off area. There is a public access gate with sign post as shown in the picture below.
- Small takeoff, with very short run off.
- Stone wall right in front of takeoff
- Rotor in any wind speed is possible
This take off is very technical due the road, walls and rotor from the cliff. Winds above 16mph become challenging and winds above 18mph are for experienced Pilots with exceptional ground handling skills only.
If you are unsure of your ability to launch safely here, please use the Merthyr Farm takeoff instead.
Do not use this site for a top to bottom flight in light winds- you are likely not to clear the stone wall with predictably dire consequences.

Are you ready to escape the "tyranny" of the 15-minute office visit?
Grace Terrell is the CEO of Cornerstone Health Care, a 250-physician, multi-site, multispecialty group practice in the Piedmont Triad region of North Carolina; it's an Accountable Care Organization, and it is in value-based contracts with 100% of its commercial payors. Spread out over 85 different practice sites in a largely rural area, it sees 250,000 patients annually. All of these factors come together in a way that allows Cornerstone to practice population health, and to address chronic disease in a holistic manner that is not usually done in a traditional fee-for-service practice.
In discussing cost and quality, Dr. Terrell focused on diabetes:
One of the things, obviously, that is one of the biggest challenges in population health has to do with diabetes and its enormous impact that it has on quality for life for patients and its increasing prevalence, particularly as the population is aging.There's not a contract out there that we have that doesn't focus on diabetes as the first and foremost population health issue to tackle within the context of both the cost as well as looking at quality parameters.So a lot of the focus that we have seen has been evaluating what sort of ways we can put things in place to really address that part of our patient population.

Los Flamingos Golf Resort
The Los Flamingos golf resort offer three courses, two championship ones Los Flamingos, and Alferini, and the shorter Tramores executive course.
Located just 20 minutes from the town centre of Marbella and 30 minutes from Gibraltar, Los Flamingos Golf Resort is conveniently located just 15 minutes from the famous restor of Marbella and offers very good value golf.
The 2010 LPGAs tour held the Spanish Open at the Flamingos resort and other significant tournaments have used the main course such as the European Senior Finals and the Daily Telegraph European Seniors Match Play championships.
Los Flamingos is now one of the big players when it comes to golf on the Costa del Sol.
Great pains and have been taken to conserve the existing trees and shrubs and other plants that were removed were replanted after the development was finalised. By the time that the course officially opened in 2001, the greens and fairways had a grown-in look that made them seem as if they had always been there.
Los Flamingos is undoubtedly one of the top golf resorts on the Costa del Sol and a great choice when it comes to including a round or two when planing a golf package trip to Spain.
Coming in at around 5600 meters the Flamingos course is medium length with an interesting layout which all players enjoy. The water hazards on the front nine can cause some golfers problems as most have tee off over water. Players also have to contend with some well designed but slightly cramped holes which employ unusual but interesting layouts.
The back nine is a bit more spacious and forgiving. With views of the sea as well as the adjacent lakes in the mountains in the background there are certainly lots to enjoy during your round.
An after round drink is advisable as the club house and bar area is located within the stunning grounds of the luxury 5 star Villa Padierna Hotel. This impressive hotel was built in the style of an Italian mansion and is visible from all over the course which offers a unique and unforgettable backdrop.
If you are a group of golfers and planning a golf trip to the Costa del Sol including Los Flamingos Golf Resort then you will almost certainly be better off with your own private transfers to and from the airportand your chosen courses during your trip.
We specialise in arranging golf transfers to any of the 60 or more golf courses on the Costa del Sol. We will meet you at the airport and transfer you to your resort, unlike some other companies you will do not charge for excess luggage or golf clubs.

Corporate Formation in the USVI
Forming the proper business entity can make all the difference in transforming an idea into a successful, profit earning business. Many businesses in the US Virgin Islands choose incorporation in order to enjoy the benefits of corporate taxation, flexible management and structure, and the ability to issue shares of stock. Forming a corporation limits personal liability, allowing the corporation to stand as a separate entity for liability purposes.
Despite these benefits, forming a corporate entity involves more than simple filings with the US Virgin Islands Division of Corporations and Trademarks. In order to reap the benefits of incorporation, a corporation must maintain detailed corporate records, hold regular board of director and shareholder meetings, and follow the stringent formalities required by law. Failure to abide by these requirements can result in personal liability for acts of the corporation with creditors accessing personal assets in addition to capital.
Within incorporation, a corporation may elect for different taxation models. Most publicly held corporations in the US Virgin Islands are C-Corporations, subject to double taxation. An S-Corporation is not bound by double taxation and awards shareholders protection from the debts and obligations of the corporation. By properly incorporating, you will prevent future problems with the Virgin Islands Bureau of Internal Revenue and instead be able to focus on building profits.
Attorney Rosh Alger has the experience and breadth of knowledge to handle the incorporation of your business and management of your established corporation in the US Virgin Islands. Contact him today by calling (340) 774-3036 or emailing

A Gazetteer for the United States and Canada
Home >> State of Alabama >> Calhoun County >> Hobson City >> Census Data
Hobson City, Alabama
|Tidbits &
|Other AL
Census Data for Hobson City ...
Population ...
The most recent Census Estimate<1> was for 2017 and it gave Hobson City a population of 764 people.
The last Decennial Census<2> was in 2010, which gave Hobson City a population of 771 people.
The town of Hobson City is located in Calhoun County. The 2010 Census gave Calhoun County a population of 118,572 people. This means that Hobson City had 0.65% of the county's total population, making it Calhoun's 7th most populous community.
At the same time, Alabama had a population of 4,779,736 people, meaning that Hobson City had 0.02% of the total population of Alabama - making it the state's 282nd most populous community.
Area ...
When the Census Bureau conducts a census for a town like Hobson City, they draw a boundary around the area in which they are going to conduct their count - this defines the sampling area (usually shaped as a polygon). The shape of the sampling area can be quite complex and it's important to keep in mind that the boundaries of the sampling area may or may not match the recognized boundaries of the town.
Things like the population, area and housing for Hobson City reflect the sampling area. Since the shape of the sampling area and the actual boundaries of Hobson City might be different, it's best to check with the U.S. Census Bureau to resolve any difference between the two.
The 2010 Census shows that the sampling area for Hobson City has a total area of 1.04 square miles [2.7 km²]. Of this total, a small amount of the area is covered by water (0 square miles [0 km²]).
Calhoun County has a land area of 605 square miles [1,569.2 km²]. At 1.04 square miles [2.7 km²], Hobson City has 0.17% of the county's total land area.
Not only does the sampling area define boundaries, it also has a GPS location (latitude & longitude) that indicates a point within the sampling area (usually the center of the polygon, known as the centroid). At the time of the 2010 Census, the sampling area was located at:
Lat: 33° 37' 7" (or 33.62°) [Map]
More information on this topic and the changes between the 2000 Census and the 2010 Census can be found in the section for our Census-to-Census Observations ... (see below).
Population Density ...
Using the population (771 people) and land area (1.04 square miles [2.7 km²]) values from the 2010 Census, Hobson City had a population density of 739 people per square mile [285.4 people/km²].
In comparison, the 2000 Census shows Hobson City had a population of 878 people and a land area of 1.09 square miles [2.8 km²]. This gives a population density of 802 people per square mile [310 people/km²]
NOTE: Be aware that when comparing population density between the 2000 and the 2010 Census, there were changes in the sampling area for Hobson City. You need to be careful when making such a comparison, the differences are likely to lead to an apple-to-oranges comparison.

On the second day of Christmas ........ it's the office Christmas Party
Posted on 03 December 2012
Coming to you, for one night only - your firm's Christmas Party!
Here are our top ten tips regarding general etiquette at the Office Christmas Party. The aim is to be able to return to work on Monday and still be able to face your colleagues..... and remember everything you did and said.
- Do you really have to go? Yes. Everyone, unless there is a very good reason, should at least put in an appearance at their office Christmas party. It is an extension of the business office and an opportunity to enjoy speaking to staff members you may never get the opportunity to spend time with at work. This is a once a year event so make the effort. Go with a good attitude and enjoy the event. The party is being given for your benefit.
- Don't go to the Christmas party with an empty stomach. If you plan to drink, be prepared and be sensible.
- Dress appropriately in accordance with company rules and with consideration to the event venue.
- Consider who you take with you to the Christmas party. Remember they are also representing you and you want to ensure they also behave appropriately for the event.. Also ensure a guest is actually invited and the party is not just for staff alone.
- Steer clear of the karaoke and save your best dance moves for another time and place.
- Be cautious with alcohol. Career planning experts say staying sober is the most important thing to do at the office party. Alcohol clouds judgment. So if you are going to drink, remember to keep your consumption at an appropriate level
- Mingle – it's for one night only, so be sociable. Talk to as many people as you can - staff and their partners. Partners of colleagues will be relieved and enjoy the party more if there are people who go out of their way to chat to them.
- Think of a few conversation ice breakers. If you're going to make the effort, pick subjects which are not going to get you into trouble. No office gossip for starters. Introduce yourself and ask them what they have planned for the holiday period.
- Watch the clock. Arrive on time but don't overstay your welcome.
- Have fun. This is a once a year event where you can just enjoy being a group bound together by your employment. Celebrate the positives and leave the negatives at home.

News site Bloomberg has reported that the US competition watchdog, the Federal Trade Commission, is likely to oppose Google's $750 million acquisition of mobile advertisement firm AdMob, as it believes that the deal could cause serious anti-trust violations.
Citing sources familiar with the matter, an article on Bloomberg reported that the FTC has asked for sworn declarations or affidavits from Google, its competitors and other internet advertisement agencies in order to embark on a more thorough investigation into the acquisition deal.
As several legal experts seem positive that the government will move to stop the deal, Google representatives have repeatedly told the press that the company was working 'closely' with the FTC to dispel doubts about the deal and was providing information on a regular basis.
The FTC is trying to determine whether the Google-AdMob deal will restrict competition in the mobile internet advertisement market or not.
According to the article, the FTC has asked Google's competitors and other mobile internet advertisement agencies to submit their statements to the trade regulator and has also asked two companies to give signed statements.
The FTC will taking into account Google's dominant position in the internet search market in order to decide whether to halt the deal or give it a green light.
Our Comments
Google was unlikely to be given the green light that easily. The search giant has already attracted the attention of the European Competitions Commission and the scrutiny is likely to continue well into 2010.

The rendezvous at the BP on top of the Bombay is now almost routine, and now I'm living mere minutes away from this location there's no doubt Geoff is doing the hard yards in enabling me to improve my two wheeled habits. Yes I know it's all about the right roads and riding environments.
Making progress, as in improving ones' own set of skills, is an enlightening experience. Yes this is obvious, but it was this thought that was at the forefront when I returned from this ride.
The overall ride in itself was unremarkable, covering mostly semi-familiar territory. What was telling for me was how much more at ease I felt when "performing" to a higher standard than what was the norm for me 6-12 months ago.
Our route on this occasion was the usual variety of motorway, urban and rural routes. Had a wee giggle at the sharp left hander on Great South Rd when dropping off the Bombay. No brake application needed here for I knew this corner, Geoff commented positively, but I freely admitted this section of road is routine for me. One thing which stood out on this run was how little traffic we're encountering, near free flow on the motorway from Drury to Mt Wellington is damn near unheard of mid morning on a Wednesday.
Out thru Botany to Whitford, on to Maraetai to end up in Clevedon at the café opposite the monument. The variety of roads was not a problem, but it certainly allowed Geoff to observe how I dealt with them all in a timely fashion. White van driver texting while driving? Road works with stop/go crew? Loose chip with no signs out? Restraint whilst on open road section with short sightlines and multiple driveways? Holding back to make sure rural postie has spotted us? Check on all counts.
It felt like a good, relaxed ride. The A+ rating Geoff gave this was a nice result. Did it feel like hard work? Not as such. My challenge is still with delivering commentary in a concise manner, the tendency to slip into a monologue is still there. In itself not an issue, but like Geoff points out rightfully, when the workload goes up in a more challenging situation this will create an issue.
Part of my ongoing revision includes poring over various videos, must make mention of JK's blog here once more, as the phrase "observational links" keeps popping back into my head. On the whole it still doesn't feel like my performance has the right polish to it, but I accept it's not a finished product as such. This whole IAM experience to me is one of evolving, and thus continuing to improve.
A couple of short practice runs, one in rather damp conditions (unintended) brought home the value of continuing to polish my skill set on two wheels.
We had an interesting discussion about reasons why folks look at IAM and then choose not to participate. More on this next chapter.

Your use of words like "relaxed" and "unremarkable" actually tell an important story. You're using those words because you're processing so much more information than this year, processing it earlier and reacting accordingly. Hence, you've learned in a practical way that the one-liner about Roadcraft giving you more time to react is absolutely true.
Your use of words like "evolving" and "polish" also show the right mindset for continuous improvement. Your score was entirely deserved mate.
All I can add is thank you once again for your enthusiasm and continued support. Pleasure to be guided by you.

Method 1 You will need the following items: Telescope Computer GPS Specification Manual Roof-top antenna 100' of noise-shielded coaxial cable Use the telescope to locate between 8 and 10 GPS satellites in orbit. Once you have located the satellites use the computer to access the GPS specification manual. Using the specifications from the manual, modify the roof-top antenna to match the impedance and resistance in order to receive GPS signals, and aim the antenna at the closest of the 10 GPS sats. Use the 100' of noise-shielded coaxial cable to connect the roof-top anetenna to the external antenna connector on the back of the phone underneath the battery cover. Viola! Your GPS is fixed! Method 2 Put Captivate and accessories in original box Return Captivate to AT&T store Argue with manager over $35 restock fee Purchase a different, non-defective wireless handset Congratulations, your GPS is fixed!

We went down 378 spiraling steps into the Wieliczka Salt Mine in southern Poland, wondering what we would find and thinking about how easy it would be to get lost in the underground maze around us. I marveled at how anyone could spend so much of their life underground and retain their sanity.
As we passed through various chambers, we were shown sculptures in the salt. Hundreds of years ago, some anonymous miner in the depths of the earth saw the candlelight reflected in the salt and realized that it could be a wonderful medium for carving. Perhaps he dreamed of being an artist like Leonardo da Vinci or Michelangelo. Maybe he spent his lunch or after-work hours creating his own masterpiece, one that would never be on display in a sumptuous museum or sunlit cathedral. It would only serve to inspire other miners like himself. Perhaps he hoped that in the deep he could show them the way to God. Eventually, others began to carve as well.
Four hundred forty-three feet beneath the surface of the earth, the miners created a chapel. On the walls, they depicted the life of Jesus, from the nativity to the resurrection. Maybe they realized that they desperately needed God's protection and care as they entered the forbidding darkness.
Who would have thought that light shining on salt would cause it to gleam like marble? Who could imagine that men who do such manual labor would have time and inspiration to create masterpieces? Our guide invited us to test the acoustics, reputed to be some of the best in the world, and told us how people still bring their children into the salt mines if they have asthma or allergies to benefit from the healing power of the salty air.
After an elevator ride back to the surface, I continued thinking about the salt mine. I'm not a sculptor, artist, or composer, but it's important to me that I am able to create something through my writing. Whatever you do can become something that will inspire others.
Life is not all sunlight and blue skies. Even in the dark places, a tiny candle can lead us to find our purpose. The sweat and tears won't last, but the beauty we create in the spaces of our lives can live on and enlighten someone else's darkness.


text: Mikro took his first ever Scantron test, but it wasn't reading and math, which he is required to take next year. For practice, and to give my nervous of time constraints kiddo a good experience before it counts for the state, he took a test on something he loves: The National Mythology Exam. He did the Greek/Roman, Transformations theme, Norse and Native American tests. Unfortunately, we won't get results till May... It's hard to wait and wonder. He thinks he did very well.

For most of my Families the location for their photo shoot is a question of which beautiful park in Central Ohio would be best. A beautiful field was never going to work for the Peake Family though. They are city folk and an urban photo shoot was the only way to go.
I always give a lot of consideration to the location and light I want to photograph a family in. When a family has hired me I use a questionnaire to discover what they like to do as a family. A beautiful field at sunset suits many because it gives a clean background without distractions and golden light from the setting sun to highlight their joy, love, and warmth. With others an in-home session shows the art of their everyday and highlights their lifestyle. Waterfront or creek locations are great during the warm months, especially with little ones who love to explore. This was my first urban photo shoot and I loved all the textures and variety it added to their photos.
When choosing the location of your family photo shoot first think about where you and your family feel most comfortable. The location should be somewhere you can be yourselves and the surroundings add a personal feel your photos. I will help you find a location that suits your family and scout it out beforehand. The day of your photo shoot I will have mapped the area out for the spots with the best background and lighting. This is really important when the flow of the session needs to keep moving with children who have short attention spans. If you choose to do a in-home family session I will ask you some questions beforehand about the layout of your home and where you get the best light.
Enjoy this adorable, urban, Rock n' Roll photo session in downtown Bexley.


text: A neighbour stopped by one day to tell me about a recent experience selling his coach. An agent conducted the negotiations between him and the buyer and arranged for a flatbed (low loader) to come pick up the coach. Being the smart guy he is, my neighbor wouldn't part with the coach until he either had cash in his hand or until a check cleared. When the cashier's check was deposited, the bank immediately said it wouldn't clear. I'm not sure if that meant it was counterfeit or not. My neighbor contacted the local FBI office and, although they were sympathetic, they said "you're one of a thousand". Personally, I'd have questioned the use of an overseas (UK) agent acting for a North American buyer of something being sold in the U.S. But, until the check bounced, my neighbor apparently didn't suspect anything. So, be sure you have the money before you part with your treasured possession.

Fandango Hits Gym After Suffering Shoulder Injury In JulyPosted By: Dustin Frisch on Oct 15, 2018
Fandango hit the half-way point in his recovery from a shoulder injury suffered back in July. It was believed that he would be out for around 6 months, putting him back at the end of the year. Fandango noted on Twitter today that he was able to return to the gym this week. It's interesting to note that he tagged a video from a gym in Portland, Maine, where WWE has a live event later this week. You can see his new posts below.

Egypt - home from Cathy
Well interesting trip this has been. Between the visit to the giza pyramids to david going out partying. As fun as this has been its time to come home. We are all really tired and not looking forward to the 24 hours of travelling ahead of us. Gosh, we will be eating salad for all three meals everyday for at least two weeks for the loss of vegtables has been a tragic one. I think we will be spending a week apart from one another for not seeing anyone but your family for six weeks is quite enough. Cant wait to see all of you!

text: I've been toying with the idea of picking up an SSD for my new 17 MBP, but am having a very hard time deciding which to purchase. Has anyone seen/read much about the new OCZ Vertex SSDs? Theres an article on tomshardware.com where OCZ claims it will beat the the Intel X25-M drives. (http://www.tomshardware.com/news/ocz-ssd-vertex-intel-solid-state,7127.html) The drives were also just posted on Newegg for purchase at $850 for the 250GB, which makes them slightly cheaper than the Samsung units. (that is, until you can actually buy the samsung unit retail and not have to purchase from ebay) Which unit would you all go for? The Samsung still seems like the best option for size/speed, but the OCZ drive seems like it might be a good option too. (uses a new controller? and has a 64MB buffer)

Ok – just one more digression before we get back to missions. This flows on from our discussions about the trinity…
I'm a bit slow in my travels around the blogosphere so I apologise that this is about a week out of date. But, Ben Witherington (recently-ish) managed to get 83 comments on a post called "Is God a narcisist?". He was reacting against a Piper-ist, Schreiner-ist theology that says "The chief end of God is to glorify God and enjoy Himself forever."
Being a good biblical (NT) theologian he made excellent points on the meaning of kabod (Hebrew) and doxa (Greek) and the difference between this and God's Name (which is about vindicating His reputation). I've skim-read the comments as much as I'm going to but nowhere (as far as I can see) do people discuss the trinity. This is kind of surprising!
Growing out of our discussion about One-ness and Three-ness, one of the chief conclusions to be drawn is the fact that God ought never to be thought of in anything approaching unitarian terms. The One-ness of God does not connote a single centre of action or personal consciousness in God. Yet when a theologian asserts that "God's chief end is self-glorification" then almost certainly a doctrine of the one God, divorced from trinitarian reciprocity, is in view.
We ought to ask all such theologians "Which Person of God are you speaking of?" They surely cannot be referring to the trinitarian life of Father, Son and Spirit – that communion is the essence of self-giving. God is love. And they surely cannot be referring to the Father for He has committed all things into His Son's hands (John 3:35). They mustn't be speaking of the Son, He only ever glorifies the Father. (John 4:34). And they can't be speaking of the Spirit, He simply takes from what is the Father's and the Son's and makes it known (John 16:15). So what god are they speaking of when they say "His chief end is to glorify Himself"? Clearly the "God" referred to here is one abstracted from considerations of the trinitarian life. Yet as my last post was trying to argue – the living God cannot for a second be abstracted from considerations of trinitarian self-giving. The only God there is is the Trinity! The One God is precisely the community of sacrificial love between Father, Son and Spirit. (see also The Cruciform God)
When the LORD says in Isaiah 42:8, "I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols." it is only because He has been glorifying His Servant for the last seven verses – "Here is My Servant, whom I uphold, My Chosen One in Whom I delight; I will put My Spirit on Him and He will bring justice to the nations…" (Isaiah 42:1ff) The Father glorifies His Son and anoints Him with His Spirit. Therefore He will not give that glory to another. This is the very opposite of self-love. Instead His other-centred glory requires that He be exclusively committed to His Son in holy love.
God is not a narcisist. A proper doctrine of the trinity guarantees it. And wherever God is portrayed as a narcisist you can guarantee that a defective trinity is lurking in the background.
Next time you hear such a theology, ask yourself what doctrine of the trinity is being espoused here? Has this theologian conceived of God apart from the communion of the Three? Almost certainly they have – and a selfish God is the outcome.
Two verses from John to finish:
Jesus replied, "If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me." (John 8:54)
"All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you." (John 16:15)

Thoughts on Alpha
When I was a kid I owned a Raleigh BMX bike. I loved it. I remem-ber it clearly. It was red, blue and yellow and I had Kellogg's Frosties stickers all over it (they were bike themed). Any opportunity I had I was on my bike. But this was no ordinary bike, it was a stunt bike.

In this way, job cuts in businesses and the introduction of technological changes such as paying for and issuing tickets via Web and automating boarding passes will limit the possibilities for rising jobs in workplace and management occupations. Hi i am RN from India.I have 4 years of hospital encounter i will be in Canada in December 1st wk.I am hunting for jobs house nursing, care giver or nanny in surrey, let me know my e mail id is divyasanctis@. I am searching for a function permit and have no hesitation in recommending for any position that exist. When you become a travel agent, full or component-time, you have the possible of creating anywhere in between $2,000 and $6,400 every single month. Numerous men and women believe that they can find less costly offers on the internet than going to a travel agent.
Considering that the world wide web offers an straightforward option they log on to the world wide web and search for on the internet travel agents. If you have a flair for language or a talent with the camera, you may possibly want to contemplate a profession as a travel writer or photographer. Virginia Notary Signing Agents are in high demand, specifically if you service a rural region and are prepared to travel anyplace from 30 minutes to an hour away from your home place. If nurses pick to supply their personal housing, travel firms frequently supply a housing subsidy up to $2,000 per month, in line with the local expense of living.
On a fourth travel adventure, I drove 1,000 miles down through Mississippi and Louisiana in August heat following having confirmed my reservation at the finish point by telephone three times ahead of leaving house. Travel agents increasingly are focusing on a particular variety of travel, such as adventure tours. Travel agents have to have correct travel info and lots of selection as it offers a excellent selection to households. Travel agents have access to a number of suppliers that do not directly deal with the public. On a function visa to perform in Saudi Arabia states you have to have updated shot records, police reports, and a full healthcare physical from your medical professional or the business medical professional. An opportunity has arisen for a Digital Marketing Assistant to join the group at Club Travel, a top On the internet Travel Agent in Dublin City Centre. There are jobs that take you sailing, horse-back riding, mountain-hiking and to exotic islands.
My favourite issues about functioning in the travel sector are the possibilities to travel and to place the best face forward of the region that I market. Inside sales jobs call for them to largely stay in the workplace and contact sales leads more than the telephone and world wide web. Most agencies also supply rewards like familiarization trips" exactly where the agency pays for the agent to travel to different locations to understand about them, and discounted rates for hotels and airlines. Lengthy-term constant travel will wear down most individuals, specifically men and women that work in higher-pressure occuaptions like sales and fly across the country or the globe every week. Our Cost-free travel agent course is all on the web, so you do not have to juggle your schedule or risk your present job! Travel Agents give expert guidance, secure the ideal value choices for their clients, and make certain they have a good travel experience.
On the web travel agent job requires the travel agent to arrange holidays according to the preference of the individuals who want to go on a holiday. Moreover, these nurses will often receive totally free housing, free of charge insurance, travel money, a cost-free telephone card, and other benefits, depending on the place. Organisation, sales, IT and communication capabilities are sought-after qualities, as are an interest in travel and geography. By promoting and selling tour packages about my town and its surrounding islands and mountains on the world wide web, I have produced jobs for myself and other folks. Some job opportunities might result from a expanding quantity of seasoned travel agents reaching retirement age.

As with its neighbor to the south, Canada has experienced some significant contraction in its manufacturing sector. According to Statistics Canada, the manufacturing sector shed some 322,000 jobs even before the current economic downturn in 2008. Since then, there have been even more losses, and the events of 2012 certainly don't seem to bode well for Canadian manufacturing.
The Death of an Industrial Ecosystem
One of the major news stories was the closing of Ford's plant in St. Thomas, Ontario, which Maclean's reported "could bring the death of an entire industrial ecosystem," according to experts. That certainly sounds bleak. Earlier in the year, the closure of the Mabe appliance manufacturing plant in Montreal was a smaller blow in terms of job losses—about 700 people are employed at the plant—but it may be indicative of a larger pattern in appliance manufacturing in Canada, and a similarly bleak threat to this industrial ecosystem.
As Mabe was making plans to close its doors, Canadian brand Danby, which doesn't manufacture its products, but rebrands products by other manufacturers, sought to develop closer ties to manufacturers in China by establishing an office in the port city of Guangzhou. And mid-year the closure of the Canadian Appliance Manufacturers Association (CAMA) seemed like a sign the industry might be in decline.
Inexplicable Optimism?
Despite this seemingly bleak outlook, major auditing firm KPMG found that most people in the Canadian manufacturing sector were optimistic. KPMG surveyed executives from 150 companies across Canada and found that 85% of them were optimistic about the future of their business in the next two years, a significant increase from the 74% who felt similar last year.
What accounts for this optimistic outlook? People inside the manufacturing sector see the industry changing, not going away. Competition from lower-priced goods offshore has led to a decline in traditional manufacturing, but the future may see an increase in jobs and revenue with specialty manufacturing aimed mostly at the US market. Most of the executives surveyed saw the U.S. as being responsible for the majority of their growth.
This pattern is even reflected in the closure of CAMA. One reason CAMA closed was because Washington, D.C.-based Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) opened a branch in Canada. According to AHAM, "This step follows interest shown over the past several years by appliance manufacturers who wish to benefit from fuller integration of home appliance industry representation in Canada and the United States." In the AHAM release, the decision sounds like a mutual one. The CAMA release sounds less rosy about the transition, but increased integration between the US and Canadian manufacturing industries seems desired by all parties.
Current Figures and Future Projections
The optimism of industry executives seems to be borne out by the current economic figures. According to Statistics Canada, despite some mid-year declines, the manufacturing sector ended strong in 2012. Manufacturing sales rose 1.7% in November, the last month for which figures are available. Growth was seen in two-thirds of sectors and five provinces. Ontario led manufacturing sales growth with an uptick of 3.8%. Job growth in the sector is up as well. According to Statistics Canada, the manufacturing sector actually added nearly 54,000 jobs in 2012, an overall increase of more than 3%.
Despite these reasons for optimism, many analysts see 2013 as a potentially dark year for the Canadian economy as uncertainty from the global markets begins to put a damper on domestic growth. Whether this overall gloomy forecast comes true or not, manufacturing seems well-positioned to remain a bright spot.

This year is starting off very rough for me. I experienced the loss of two very close family members in one month of each other. I have been struggling with my faith and in the past I would take a faith break. However, this time has been different. I have been spending more time in prayer. It has been random throughout my day. Sometimes my prayers are simple "Jesus cover me" "Jesus comfort me" "Jesus help me". Everytime I feel weak or ready to give up I am reminded of the testimony God has allowed me to live through and share. I know that even in this troubling period in my life God is protecting me. I have conversed with God and explained that, although He won't give you more thsn you can bare, I think He has overedtimated my strength. Than it hits me, pray, you don't have to bare this alone. Often times people assume that because things are not going well in your life, you are being punished. I have learned that couldn't be ghe furtherest from the truth. The rough times helps you appreciate the good times. Surviving the rough times shows you how strong you really are. I am believing God for all the blessings He has for me. His word says these blessings are more than what we request. I am believing in His word and I know this valley is only for a moment. I am filled with excitement knowing that there is a beautiful blessing with my name on it. So for now I will pray myself through this sorrow.
Staying Faithful

Can we write a story about the aftermath of a known adventure game (for example, what happened to the characters of Maniac Mansion after the game ended)?
Bernard, If you are reading this then that means you have attended my funeral and know of my fate. There is, however, one last thing I would have you do, my dear boy. Open the safe in my office and you will find inside the will to my estate stating to split the mansion and its grounds into portions for yourself, and both of your friends: The weirdly sandwich-named boy and the twitchy girl. Screw my family, the ungrateful lot of them! You and your friends provided me with the most amazing adventures of my entire miserable life! If any of you can open the safe and retrieve my will the first of you to do so will receive the lion's share of my estate. The second to do so will receive the meerkat's share, and the remaining one of you will have to settle for the earthworm's share. Thanks for the fun, Dr. Fred Edison. P.S: I have changed the combination for the safe.
I'm going to be writing my story a bit at a time and hiding it for now.So, if you prefer an episodic reading then feel free to unhide and read, otherwise please wait for the full story:
Thanks This is actually a bit of backstory to my KQ fan novel; it's been buzzing around in my head for ages now so I'm glad I finally got the chance to write it! I always like to write reality rather than happy fantasy. It's like Maniac Mansion; those kids were trapped playing a game of cat-and-mouse with two crazy people. It sounds fun and it looks fun on screen, but the reality is very different Part Two is now uploaded! Only two more parts to go! (Any news on a deadline yet?)
Well, the official deadline should be Sept 28th, but extensions are possible of course.
The continuing saga of awesomeness continues! Spoiler: ShowHide...upon
Can we have an extension please? I have three more parts to write. One's almost done but I just need a few more days...
Either that, or we need to relax the rules for double posting.

Like thousands of other Japanese Americans they have been reclassified, virtually overnight, as enemy aliens and are about to be uprooted from their home and sent to a dusty internment camp in the Utah desert. In this lean and devastatingly evocative first novel, Julie Otsuka tells their story from five flawlessly realized points of view and conveys the exact emotional texture of their experience: the thin-walled barracks a

Proverbs 11:18
is another optimistic take on the benefits of being a good person.
It pays off, baby!
18 A wicked person earns deceptive wages,
but the one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.
The Proverbialist apparently never heard of "Virtue is its own reward." Who said that, anyway? Ah, here it is: John Henry Newman (1801-1890), British clergyman, and all-around smart guy. (And, according to Wikipedia, only one miracle short of sainthood.)
At Reason, Jacob Sullum has a simple request:
Justice Like Gorsuch, Please. Jacob rebuts recent criticism from
"People for the American Way" (PFAW) that
Gorsuch is "a narrow-minded elitist who consistently votes in favor
of corporations and the powerful." Oh, yeah?
PFAW is echoing the criticism of Democratic senators who worried, before Gorsuch was confirmed in April 2017, that he was not inclined to stand up for "the little guy." Gorsuch's record during a decade on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit belied that claim, and his 15 months on the Supreme Court provide further evidence that he is not shy about defending the principles that protect politically disfavored individuals from the whims of the powerful.
In sharp contrast with the man who nominated him, Gorsuch worries about abuses of the government's power to take people's property "for public use." In June 2017, when the Court declined to hear a case that raised the question of whether a state can impose limits on the "just compensation" it owes for takings under the Fifth Amendment, Gorsuch, joined by Clarence Thomas, urged his colleagues to address that issue at the "next opportunity."
Left-wing hyperventilating is one of their less attractive traits.
And one thing they hyperventilate about most is Roe v. Wade;
for them, its legal authority is above the Constitution, its wisdom
above Socrates, and its holy truth far above anything in the Bible!
But, at the WaPo, Megan McArdle urges: Let Roe go. For one thing:
The decision itself is a poorly reasoned mess. It failed to mount a convincing case that the Constitution contains language that can be read as guaranteeing a woman's right to abort her pregnancy. Nor have the subsequent courts that amended and extended Roe managed to come up with a constitutional justification; it's all "emanations and penumbras" and similarly float-y language that did little to convince opponents that Roe v. Wade was a good or necessary ruling. Even many liberal supporters of a constitutional right to abortion have voiced concerns about the way the Burger Court got us there; those critics include Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Megan is a sensible woman, but we live in nonsensical times.
Ah, but the LFOD Google Alert Bell rang overtime recently. For
example, at (of all places) the Omaha World-Herald and their
movie critic Micah Mertes, who lists
5 different kinds of patriotic movies. All of which are unabashed
American propaganda. Dude, that's bold talk for a Cornhusker.
Anyway, one of Micah's movie classifications is the "pop entertainment patriotic film".
These movies are the most effective and insidious form of patriotic agitprop, merely by nature of how entertaining they are and how thoroughly the American exceptionalism is baked into every frame of the spectacle.
The heroes overcome their obstacles not just because they are good but because they are American. Because Americans are the coolest, toughest, scrappiest, most ingenious, most practical, awesome, courageous, clear eyes, full heart, can't lose.
Hackers want to destroy America? Not if John McClane has anything to say about it.
And, yes, one of his examples is Live Free or Die Hard, a movie that did not even have one scene in New Hampshire. I felt like demanding my ticket money back!
(Google sends me an LFOD alert for every mention of Live Free or Die Hard. Google's AI is not all its cracked up to be.)
Anyway: Micah Mertes is deeply troubled and snide about any movie that might make you even slightly grateful to be an American.
OK, that's a take from deep-red Nebraska. Oddly enough, there's a
counterpoint in deep-blue Illinois, John Kass writing in the
Chicago Tribune:
Independence Day, thanking my family for coming to America.
My people didn't know about Independence Day when they came to this country.
But on this Independence Day, I'll lift a glass to them, my wife's family from Sicily and my family from Greece.
They risked their lives and everything they had for the one thing America offered:
A chance to be an American.
They didn't come for a government safety net. They didn't expect that, and it wasn't offered. All they wanted was opportunity.
When they left their poor villages, they didn't know about the motto of New Hampshire, "Live Free or Die." But that's what they set out to do here in America: Live free or die.
Pun Salad bestows an honorable LFOD mention award to John Kass.
Closer to home, Manchester's Nate Bernitz pens a Union Leader
LTE, alleging something about
Recent immigration checkpoints along I-93 in New Hampshire, as well as along neighboring Maine's I-95, are an affront to our Live Free or Die values as well as a clear violation of the Fourth Amendment.
Given my long history of watching movies with menacing foreigh-accented police state functionaries demanding "Your papers, please", I'm uncomfortable with this sort of thing too. But, as even Vox notes: the checkpoints are probably legal.
And NH Labor News ("Where Labor and Progressive Politics
Intersect") approves:
Kicks Off Cannabis Legalization Petition.
On July 1, Senator Jeff Woodburn is kicking off an online campaign for the "Live free or die" state to join Maine, Vermont, and Massachusetts in legalizing marijuana. If re-elected, Woodburn plans to file legislation to legalize, regulate, and tax cannabis in 2019.
Whatever, dude.
Senator Jeff is the current Democratic state senator from District 1, which is, like, the entire northern half of the state. He is also against mandatory motorcycle helmets, mandatory seat belt usage, bans on "assault weapons", broad-based taxes, … Not bad for a Democrat.

One of my favorite things about summer is going to the Farmers' Market. My weekly trip to the market makes up a bulk of my grocery bill in the summer, giving my family the opportunity to eat fresh, locally grown food and try many new things that we wouldn't try otherwise. Never have I lived in a place where my errands were so enjoyable.
Before I went to the market, I didn't even know I had options for different varieties of kale, asparagus, and many others. Farmers and their families offer cooking tips and recipes free of charge, with a smile on their face.
And we have the local gardening expert.
Thanks to the Stillwater Farmers' Market for filling my home with beautiful produce and for filling my Saturday mornings with excellent conversations. And a special thanks to Windy Acres Natural Farm, Cindy Alexander, and Woodland Park Vineyard and Farm for allowing me to document our morning.

A Casual, DIY Wedding at De Nieuwe Erf in Diessen, Netherlands
For their wedding, Amanda Ooijen (28 and a content marketer) and Jan Roeffen (29 and a human resources professional) wanted to get away with their friends for the weekend. They hosted their wedding celebration at De Nieuwe Erf, a farmhouse in Diessen, a village at the border of the Netherlands and Belgium. The outdoor ceremony was decorated with simple, natural details. "We wanted a relaxed, country atmosphere," Amanda says. The altar area was set up with a birch wood wedding arch that was decorated with greenery and a wooden sign with the couple's monograms. The couple sat under this arch on a wooden bench during the ceremony. Amanda and Jan decorated the following reception with tons of pretty DIY details—everything from the hanging paper lanterns to the Polaroid-themed photo booth was made by Amanda and Jan. The newlyweds and their guests enjoyed a barbecue meal followed by a candy bar for dessert. Our favorite details? Amanda and Jan's chic wedding attire. Amanda wore a gorgeous modern ball gown with a lace bodice and a ruffled skirt. Jan wore a fitted blue suit with a light blue vest and a floral blue tie. After dancing all night, the newlyweds and their friends slept over at the farmhouse and enjoyed brunch together in the morning. Raisa Zwart Photography captured the day—see more, below.

Sometimes, when I'm in a terrible mood, I write love letters: not the typical declaration of love for a silly boy.
I have done that maybe a couple of times with disastrous results (something in the message must have been interpreted like "ÿou're an ass and that's why we get along so well"). Digressing...
So, I write love letters to things I am sort of infatuated with.
Soon I'll be traveling home and home means the country facing (or offending) Venice.
We could debate here if Venice is a man or a woman, but I believe this is in the hand of the lover and not in the essence of the city itself.
Anyway, I will try to spend some good time on the island and I am very excited about that.
Whenever I mention to Berliners about Venice I am asked whether I know if Berlin has more bridges than Venice...
I smile.
Venice is small. Nonetheless there are so many things to wonder that it becomes immense, in an imploding way.
Palazzo Zenobio
I studied in Venice and I was working there shortly after graduation, so I know how to move around, but it was a process. Does it take longer if you walk your way through the calli to get to a point, if you take the boat, or if you cross a bridge?
You need some practice and nothing is so obvious.
Since I moved to Berlin and I only visit twice or three times a year, I also had to cope with lots of the problems that any first time tourist has: where to eat, where to stop, what museum to visit, join the crowd (almost never an option) or go off the beaten path?In other words: how do I enjoy my time in a place that's so packed with stuff to see without losing my mind, spending too much money and (because I have kids) use space and energy in the most efficient way to avoid the total meltdown.
Not a public sleeping place, but an art installation
I take my time. But I walk fast. Because, honestly, is there a bigger affront to a Venetian than to walk slow?
It's not only a waste of time, it's suicidal like throwing yourself on the tracks just when a rush hour train is passing, it makes the crowds grow and get nervous ("Camoma" is a nice Venetian word to describe a slow walk or attitude and yelling "Move on with the Christ else the procession gets crowdy" is very common, if a bit blasphemous...)
I walk where I know I don't have to deal with too many tourists. Don't get me wrong, I love tourists: they always ask me for information. Just, I like quiet places and this is where you can find me.
I like visiting the oldest European ghetto (ghetto is a Venetian word) or the campi where tourists don't make it, physically and psychologically. You can't just do everything and see everything, even in such a small city.
Fountain at Campo del Ghetto Nuovo
For this time I'll be happy if we can make it to the 54th Art Biennale, the art exhibition everybody is talking about right now. Back in 2008 my daughter and I visited; I was pregnant, so this was especially tiring for me and my three year old. The pavilions which host the international art works are situated at the Gardens and at the Arsenal (which is the end of the world).
The Arsenal
Of course I decided to take the Vaporetto; but I had a stroller which made things only more complicated, especially on our way back, when Carlotta fell asleep in it while we were in the cabin and there where steps to do and people to hurt.
With time I have learned that the most important things are: take it easy, have very comfortable shoes, find a nice campo to drink water from the fountain - yes it's drinkable - eat some ice-cream on the bench, get very detailed information about the three or four must see museums and churches and let anything else come as a surprise. Every corner has something to offer.
Consider mastering the four basic directions and move through calli and campi with this is mind: the borders are always near, you are surrounded by water so you can't escape; you might not find a place immediately, but you'll find it eventually.
Note: the streets in Venice have special names. Calli are narrow streets, campi are the squares.

It is a well-known fact that our diet affects our skin as well as our hair health. In order to ensure good hair health and proper hair strength, we must make it a point to eat healthy foods including fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and beans etc.
What we eat determines not just how our hair health will be but also the appearance and look of our locks. But besides the regular and known foods for good hair health, there are certain food items which will take you by surprise. The following is a list of the 5 surprising foods that are excellent for hair health:
1. Quinoa
Quinoa is basically a plant which appears like a grain and is harvested from its seeds. The seeds can be dried and then they can be flaked just the oats are. This is a gluten free food which is loaded with nutrients and proves superb for the hair health. It is full of protein and iron which works well for the hair as they promote hair strength and suppleness.
2. Okra
Okra too works fantastically for the hair! This vegetable is used in many cuisines all over the world and can be cooked in various ways. It has many nutrients like magnesium, manganese, vitamin A, Vitamin C,Vitamin K and beta carotene.That make it good for improving circulation and hence improving hair health and appearance. Okra can either be used as a main dish or can also be eaten as a side dish.
3. Oysters
Packed with protein, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Zinc and Magnesium, Oysters have high nutritional value and are considered to be excellent for improving and promoting hair health. Zinc present in Oysters is a powerful antioxidant and helps hair appear fuller and supple.
4. Hemp Seeds
Hemp seeds are often referred to as the world's most nutritionally complete food source. Some of the essential hair nutrients which these seeds consist of include omega 3, omega 6, 9 essential amino acids as well as high protein. Adding hemp seeds in your diet can drastically change the look and health of your hair.
5. Kombucha Tea
Kombucha looks like mushrooms and is a strange food which is converted in its tea form for consumption. The tea is used as a detox tea and consists of Vitamin B-6 which is superb for the hair. Drinking this tea can balance the pH levels.

Random lines overheard at Spiderhouse, within about two minutes of each other.
No, it didn't make any more sense in context. I've begun to wonder if one can become a hipster by osmosis. I'm afraid it may be possible.
- "Mmm, gentle Austin liberals walking through their fields with flowers."
- "You won't say that when the black helicopters show up."
- "Yes, I know the kitchen closes in half-an-hour, but it's closed now."
- "Yeah, well, Ecclesiastes is my favorite book of the bible. All is folly! I tried fuckin' everything, and it's all folly."
- "I feel like people should be more like Ethiopians."
- "Mmm, the dick jokes are comin'."
- "Yeah, it's like Jesus would have come back, but he realized we're all wearing crosses around our necks."
- And, in response, "I feel like I should wear a rifle pendant around my neck for JFK."
- "No, man, Luke didn't actually write Acts."
- "I feel like it's nice that at 21 you can do something that's previously illegal, but I feel like we should extend that. Like, every birthday you can do something that was illegal. When you're 65, you can litter without penalty. Then if you can make it to 100, you can legally murder someone."
- "I, you know, I didn't become doctor because, you know, I didn't want to lose my fascination for the female breast."

Wholemeal Bread
Wholemeal Bread or sweet bread dipped in milk is very healthy during fasting. Rich in carbohydrate, bread can bless one with energy and somewhere help one to continue the fast. So, rather opting for plain bread one should opt for wholemeal bread or sweet bread with dry fruits.
