Reputations are usually sealed in hindsight. And as with history, where it is usually acknowledged that it is written by the victors, musical history and reputations are usually written by the taste-makers. So as we look back there is increasingly a musical pantheon, a set of classic and set texts that become a self-reinforcing by-word for goodness and excellence.
New Musik will never be part of that canonical grouping. Coming to prominence in the late 70s, and embracing aspects of New Wave and the emerging futurist / synth-based sounds, leader, songwriter, singer and producer Tony Mansfield clearly had a pop mentality that he melded to great productions whilst still pursuing an experimental agenda. Yet in a the musically rich and diverse climate of the times, New Musik were seen as neither one thing nor the other – not edgy enough to be cool in the alternative scenes, too weird to be accepted as straight-up pop. As with The Buggles, another band similar in style and temperament, a degree of success was achieved with what came to be perceived as novelty hits (New Musik with Living By Numbers, The Buggles with the somewhat more successful Video Killed the Radio Star). In my book, though, this is shame, because both bands brought a different, intelligent, edgy yet melodic approach to pop music that should have been far more successful than it was.
Living By Numbers was the bands sole top 20 hit, it's success in part driven by its adoption by Casio for use in a TV advertising campaign for pocket calculators. Subsequent singles (including the excellent Sanctuary) grazed the Top 40, but further success eluded them with subsequent albums, and eventually Mansfield called it quits, going on to more success as a producer with the likes of The B-52s, A-ha and other bands of the era (Vicious Pink, Captain Sensible, etc.). Vastly under-rated (in my books) Living By Numbers does at least still keep the New Musik flag flying in its use in multiple 80s-era compilations.
So here's the songsheet. A fairly straightforward strum-along that – if you're familiar with the original (it's in the same key so you can play along) – should make sense and work without any problems. Enjoy!

Below is my brother Josh who lives in Las Vegas. Seven years ago when I moved back home after leaving out west for four years he stayed on. And why not? Fishing, gambling, concerts and great weather for his toys. It works out great for me too since I always have an inside connection.
Four years ago I made a visit to Vegas. It was just to be a three day weekend. I had by some weird fate gotten a three room suite at Binions for $70 a night. It was in the downtown area and we could see the Fairmont Street experience from our room and the World Series of Poker was next week so the usual sleep atmosphere of the aged casino was alive.
We went to those local spots off the strip sang, danced and were very merry. On the day I was to leave Josh got a phone call. He's a natural people person and very connected through the contacts he makes on his job. He got off the phone and told me he just got two tickets to Depeche Mode's concert that evening at the Hard Rock Casino. OMG!!!!!
He's casual about it and I'm freaking out! I've loved Depeche since high school. I tell him that if I can change my flight I want to go with him. He was giving me a hard time and I had to remind him that he made fun of me in high school for my music, hair, clothes and car (1981 Chevy Chevette). Begging, pleading and bribing as tickets to this show did not exist for anything less than the few grand I surely didn't have. Big heart that he has he gave the two tickets to myself and my friend.
So here's to the brother that cut my hair when I was four (curls were on the floor), woke up to a hermit crab on his nose, was a bmx bandit, who patched a hole in the wall with me before dad got home, who went to Phoenix eleven years ago with only 1 large bag, who listened to Metalilica in high school and lettered in Chess, and got stung by a jellyfish.

Chrissy Teigen offered her support on Twitter in an effort to give gymnast McKayla Maroney her voice back.
Over 140 female athletes have come forward to accuse Olympic Team USA doctor Larry Nassar of sexual abuse, including McKayla Maroney, Aly Raisman, and most recently this week, Simone Biles.
Simone, who shared some of her reasons for staying silent for so long, joined her teammates as she reiterated "We need to know why this was able to take place for so long and to so many of us. We need to make sure something like this never happens again."
And now, in an effort to make sure every accuser has her voice and chance to take a stand in trial, our very own Chrissy Teigen is joining the #MeToo movement in a unique way. When Chrissy got wind of the fact that McKayla is fighting back against an NDA she signed in a settlement against her attacker, she decided to get involved.
McKayala faces a $100,000 fine should she ever speak about her experience again, which would seemingly prevent her from sharing her story at the trial this week (where 88 fellow victims will speak out). Enter Chrissy. The model mom tweeted out "The entire principle of this should be fought - an NDA to stay quiet about this serial monster with over 140 accusers, but I would be absolutely honored to pay this fine for you, McKayla," alongside a screenshot of a headline about the topic.

Within an hour the tweet has raked in more than 17,000 retweets and over 80,000 likes. Talk about the power of Chrissy on social media...

Club Med Gets $719 Million Buyout Offer from AXA, Fosun
Destination & Tourism Club Med James Shillinglaw May 27, 2013
Club Med, the French-based all-inclusive resort chain, has reportedly received a €556 million ($719 million) buyout offer from its two largest shareholders, French insurance company AXA and Fosun International, a Chinese conglomerate. Club Med acknowledged that the bid had been made on May 27 and the offer apparently has the support of Club Med's management team.
Club Med has been trying to extend its brand into China by targeting new customers in the country and adding new resorts. One new resort, considered one of the most lavish of the chain's offerings, opened earlier this year in Guilin. In 2010 Club Med opened a village at a ski resort called Yabuli in the northeastern province of Heilongjiang. Club Med reportedly plans to operate five villages in China by 2015, including three by the end of this year.
The buyout offer values Club Med 17 euros a share, which send the company's stock up 22 percent, to 16.95 euros in Paris trading on Monday. The offer reportedly is a 23 percent premium over Club Med's closing price on Friday.
Fosun, which is based in Shanghai, became a strategic investor in Club Med in 2010. Fosun purchased more shares since that time so that it now owns 9.96 percent of the shares and 16.48 percent of the voting rights for Club Med.
In one wire service report, Henri Giscard d'Estaing, Club Med's chairman, said that while Fosun would be increasing its stake, the deal would keep a majority of Club Med in the hands of French shareholders through AXA. At the same time, some analysts have speculated that AXA could bow out eventually, allowing Fosun to take full control.

There are some people who cannot face the consequences of their own actions. What causes them to be afraid of what they did? Did they not think things out before actually doing it? Not only that, but I don't understand why some people would want to blame someone else for their own mistakes. These people should grow up and learn to be an adult.
When I'm at work, I like to help out some of the customers because I've built somewhat of a relationship with them. If there is something wrong with their route, I'll stop what I'm currently doing to assist them for a bit. Usually, all it takes it a few test calls and a route change and their problems are solved. If it's something that I can do then I'll do it quickly. Not all of the customers will get this sort of treatment from me though. There are a few that I will not help out until they open up a trouble ticket.
Lately, I've been getting a lot of MSN messenger requesting that I check out a route. It's the same guy who sends me messages after messages regarding the same destination. At first, I'll make a few test calls to see how bad the situation is. If I cannot connect to that country over a couple of carriers, then I ask them to open up a trouble ticket so we can investigate the issue further. If I can connect with another carrier, then I'll simply re-route the calls through that carrier. It'll save them the trouble of having to open a trouble ticket.
But since I've been doing that, this one customer doesn't want to open up trouble tickets anymore. Every time there's a problem with a particular destination, he'll either come on MSN and tell me about or he'll give me a phone call and tell me about it. And when he calls me, I can't understand a word he's saying. I just tell him to go on MSN and talk to me there because I can't hear him.
I don't mind helping this guy out every now and then because he's the one of the first few customers that I've gotten to know. When he calls me to inform me of an issue, he's very descriptive about it and it helps me figure out what could be wrong. Other customers just say that the destination is not connecting and they don't specify anything else. It's like going to the beer store and saying, "That beer sucks!" You've got so many to choose from and you don't know which one "that" beer is.
This particular customer likes to call and complain once in a while. There's not much use in doing that since I can't hear him but I'll listen to him anyway. He's believes that the company that I'm working for is at fault for his connection issues. But I'm starting to think that it's not the company's fault but his fault. There's something wrong on his end but he doesn't want to check it out. I can sort of tell when he comes on MSN.
Customer: Hello!
Me: Hello sir! How are you?
(Customer appears to be offline.)
Customer: Hi!
Me: Hello…
(Customer appears to be offline.)
Customer: Hello! are you there?
Me: Yes sir… how may I help you?
(Customer appears to be offline.)
Customer: Hello!
Me: yes…
(Customer appears to be offline.)
Me: God damnit!
(Customer appears to be offline. Messages you send will be delivered when they sign in.)
Blaming the company for something that doesn't work is one thing but to blame me is something else. Especially after I've been to them. There's another customer that calls in and says that the other Tech Support can't help him with any of his problems. He said that I was the only one that seems to know what I'm doing and I solve his problems every time. I'm flattered that he complimented me on a job well done but I'm sure that the other Tech Support guys could have easily solved the issue. They've been here long than I have so they're more experienced.
The last issue that he had was something that was going on for a long time. He owns a toll free number and every time someone calls that toll free number, he gets charged twenty five cents. When that person attempts to make a call, the system doesn't recognize the destination and things that it's invalid. So the caller hangs up and tries again and again. And no matter how many times they try, the number that they dial will also be invalid due to a system error.
He was tired of getting charged twenty five cents per call so he called me up to complain about it. My coworkers have been working on this issue for a while but they didn't quite complete it. One solution was to delete the entire PIN in his account so when a caller calls the toll free number and enters a PIN, the PIN is invalid and the system won't accept the call. Or something like that. So my coworker went ahead and told the customer how to delete his PIN.
After deleting the PIN, he was still getting charged for the calls. So he asked if there was anything I could do since I always seem to have a solution to all of his problems. I suggested that we could delete the toll free access number from his account. That way, the system won't charge him since the access number no longer belongs to him. Every time someone attempts to call that number, it won't connect because it's no longer available. He thought it was a good idea so he agreed to it.
I deleted the access number from his account, made some test calls to that number and found that I couldn't connect. I check the balance on his account and saw that it didn't go down when I called. It seems like the problem has been fixed and he will no longer get charged twenty five cents per call.
Just the other day, my coworker told me that I was supposed to put the number back. The customer had called in and said that I would delete the access number and then put it back. I don't even know how to do that yet. On second thought, I didn't even mention putting it back because if we put it back, he would be charge the twenty five cents again. If he wanted the number back, he could have just called his account manager and she could have added the access number back into his account. But since the number was missing, he opened up a trouble ticket to get it fixed.
In the trouble ticket he mentioned that his toll free number was removed due to an error on my part. How is it an error on my part if I suggested a temporary solution and he agreed to it? That's like asking me for the winning lottery numbers, losing and then blaming me for giving him the wrong numbers. By temporarily deleting that toll free number I've save him money. If his business is as good as he claims, he probably get hundreds or even thousands of calls every day. And since the calls aren't going through, people are probably trying again and again. That's at least $25 a day that I'm saving him and $700 over the course of a month.
Some people are just never satisfied when others do something nice for them. They always want more and the little things are never enough for them. The next time this guy calls, I'm not even going to bother lifting a finger. There are not three strikes and you're out in my books. You get one chance to screw up. If I helped something and they don't appreciated the assistance, they can go jump off a four story balcony and land in a pile of diarrhea cow poo surrounded by a wall of goat turd for all I care. He'll have to wait his turn because I've got too many other trouble tickets that I need to look over.

Bottom Line is that I could not be happier with your service - you go out of your way to restock items, carry custom items and find older items such as the 21C Kubels. You have a broad selection and you part figures, which many vendors do not. You have great PR and keep customers up to date. You also maintain great contact with the 1/6 community via the 6th division."
Rick C.
Can you hold items for me?
Unfortunately, no. The reason being is that I have limited space which makes it rather difficult to keep track of orders waiting around for other figures/items to be added.
How long will you hold orders being paid by money-order?
Orders being paid by money-order will be held for seven (7) days. If payment is not received within that time, the order will be cancelled and all items will go back to stock.
Can I combine orders to save money on shipping?
Yes. As long as the order has not been packed and has a postage affixed, I can add more items to it. Please note, I may not receive your second order in time to combine it with your first order. To make sure I hear from you, call me direct. See the Contact section for our phone number. Please be aware, if the addition to the order brings your sub-total to the next level of our shipping fee chart, the shipping fee may be higher. Please see the shipping fee chart on the Shipping Policy section of our Policies page.
How often do you ship?
Red Planet Toys is a part-time, one-man, home-based operation. I ship Monday thru Friday via US Postal Service using USPS Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation. All orders are shipped within seven (7) to twenty-one (21) days of being ordered, unless otherwise notified. Although, I work very hard to get orders out in a timely fashion, sometimes delays do occur, hence the 7 - 21 day delivery quote. If you need to have your order shipped out sooner, please email me and just ask.
My order was shipped three days ago, but I still have not received it. What can you do for me?
The USPS (United Parcel Service) quotes 2 - 3 business days for all packages shipped via USPS Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation. Please note that this is a quote, not a guarantee. Also, keep in mind that during the holidays, delivery of packages can, and most likely, will be delayed. However, if you have not received your package within seven (7) days, please email me your name, order number and a brief note explaining that it's been seven (7) days and you have not received your package. I will then put in an inquiry with the Post Office. It will take up to approximately up to thirty (30) days for the post office to complete its inquiry. If it is confirmed that the package is being returned to the shipper, I will gladly send a replacement to you before I receive the returned package. Please note, as a business, I have been using the USPS to deliver packages for over three (3) years and have never had a package lost. I am not responsible for lost packages. If you fear that the USPS may lose your package, we strongly suggest you insure your package for an additional fee.
What is your return policy?
See POLICIES section on the lower section of any page.
What do you do if an item I just ordered is out of stock?
Although I make every effort to update the site as often as possible, some items can be unintentionally oversold. That means that due to my current inventory system, it is possible for two or more customers to successfully place an order for an item when only one is available. If this is the case, the item will go to the first order received. The next customer will then be notified of the missing item and then given the option to either replace that item with something else or receive a refund for that item.
Do you sell your customer list?
No. Your customer information is only used for Red Planet Toys business ONLY.
Can I place a back-order on an out-of-stock item?
Yes and No. Yes, if the item is still available from our distributor, you can place a back-order with a 10% non-refundable deposit. The 10% non-refundable deposit is to assure that when the item arrives you do not say, "I don't want it anymore." No, if the item requested is no longer available from our distributor, you can not place a back-order. IMPORTANT: Due to the high shipping cost and/or the fact that I have to order a minimum of six (6) figures, items from some companies, can not be back-ordered.
How long will it take for my headsculpt(s) to arrive?
Headsculpts are casted. Headsculpts should arrive within 7 - 21 days. Painted headsculpts are on-hand and can be shipped quicker, but only if requested.
Do you take pre-orders?
Yes. With a $10 - $150 deposit (depending on the price of the item), you can reserve any of our pre-order figures/items.
Is my deposit refundable?
No. All deposits are non-refundable and non-transferrable. Due to the fact that we base our order on your pre-orders, pre-order cancellation can be a serious financial burden. Because of this we respectfully ask that you be sure that you absolutley want the item before placing a pre-order. The only exception to this rule is if the figure/item being pre-ordered is cancelled by the manufacturer.
Can I cancel my pre-order if the release date changes?
No. The release dates posted are tentative release dates given to us by the distributor. Due to delays from the manufacturer and/or distributor, release dates are subject to change. We have no control over this. This is why the release dates are posted as "estimated release dates". We make every effort to update the release date as soon as new information becomes available.
Will my credit card be charged for the deposit right away?
Yes. We currently use PayPal which automatically charges your account. (Note: The PayPal Shopping Cart can not differentiate between a pre-order deposit and a regular order. Therefore, it will automatically charge a postage fee to your deposit. You have the option of either applying the extra money to your deposit or having the postage fee refunded.
Does the pre-order guarantee that I get my figure/item?
Yes, as long as the distributor is able to completely fill my order.
Is there a limit of how many figures/items I can pre-order?
No, but please keep in mind that if you pre-order a large quantity of one item you are expected to fulfill your end of the bargain and purchase them when they become available.
Once the figure/item is in stock, how do I buy it?
When the figure/item arrives in stock, you will receive a PayPal Invoice for the balance. If your pre-order was done via money-order, you will receive a "Balance Due" bill via email.
How much time do I have to buy my figure/item once you send me my "Balance Due"?
If you are paying via PayPal, you have three (3) days to make payment. If you are paying by US Postal, you have seven (7) days to make payment. If payment is not received after that, I reserve the right to cancel your pre-order, unless you email me in advance and advise of a delay. Requests for reasonable extensions for payment of Balance Due will be done on a case by case basis.

Young people in Netherlands have bikes and go everywhere with them. To school, to work, to the gym, to the beach when it`s not too far.

Young people in Netherlands are independent. I was looking for independence when I left Italy. And here I found it. There are some moments in which I feel a sudden and surprising happiness. I realise I am living and I am living the best. I am an individual and I am alive and I am free. I`m on a journey and it`s going to last all my life. In those moments I understand the real point of being an exchange student.

Last week I went for a quick day trip to Gaziantep. I had never heard of the city before moving to Turkey, but it is actually one of the wealthiest cities in Turkey. Located at the South East border, it was along the silk road once upon a time and since then has had a rich history of trade.
Today, Gaziantep is known for its food, kebab and baklava. It's here that I first heard of sumac – a spice with a tangy taste often used in salads. You can find my chicken kebab recipe here and this salad here is a very fine accompaniment.
Turkish Chopped Salad
– 3-5 tomatoes, cut into small cubes
– 3 small cucumbers, peeled and cut into small cubes
– 1 red onion, cut into small cubes
– 1/2 cup olive oil
– 1 small bunch fresh parsley
– 1 tbsp sumac
1. It couldn't be easier! Mix all the chopped ingredients together, pour olive oil over, season with salt and pepper and sumac!
2. Some locals sprinkle dried chili over the salad before eating to give a bit more tang!


text: Buy Product Reviews Fitbit Charge 2 Review A Look at the Latest Heart Rate-Tracking Band From Fitbit Share Pin Email Print Fitbit Product Reviews Gadgets Computers & Tablets Smartphones Games & Consoles TV & Theater Cameras Audio by Sarah Silbert An editor who loves smartwatches, fitness trackers, and other wearable smart devices. Updated March 20, 2019 When it comes to activity trackers, Fitbit reigns supreme. Not only does the brand boast an impressive 24.5% of the wearable market share and enviable name recognition, but it also offers an extensive lineup of devices, with options for beginners who only want to track the basics and picks for more advanced athletes who want all the stats they can get. True, Fitbit will never compete with the Garmins of the world when it comes to producing activity trackers that offer the most comprehensive feature sets possible, but for most consumers, Fitbit products' functionality will more than cover the bases; the higher-end models even include things like built-in GPS and heart rate tracking. Speaking of heart rate tracking, that's where the Fitbit Charge 2 comes in. This recently released tracker replaces the Charge HR in the brand's device lineup, and like its predecessor, it features PurePulse heart rate-tracking technology to keep you abreast of your beats per minute. It's currently available on the Fitbit website for $149.95 and up, and we recently took the device for a test run (well, in our case, it was more like a test elliptical). Keep reading for the lowdown on Charge 2's features, including all the pros and cons. Design The Fitbit Charge 2 won't win any awards for a sleek, chic design. But then again, you shouldn't expect it to; this model falls under Fitbit's "Active" subcategory of gadgets, which means it's more about serious workout tracking than everyday activity monitoring. (The other device in this category is the Fitbit Blaze, which also features heart rate tracking but incorporates smartwatch-style features such as notifications from your phone.) So, instead of a thinnish band as seen on the Fitbit Alta, the Fitbit Charge 2 sports a substantial band. It's on the thick side, but it does allow for a large OLED display (bigger than what was found on the original Charge HR) that shows your current activity stats, incoming alerts and more. The textured, interchangeable strap is made of a rubberized "elastomer material" available in five colors (black, blue, plum, teal and lavender), all of which include a silver chassis. For $30 more (so for a total price of $179.95), you can choose from one of two "special edition" Charge 2 options: lavender/rose gold or black/gunmetal (the latter color refers to the chassis). You can also purchase a leather band in one of three colors (brown, blush pink or indigo) for $69.95. Since the straps are interchangeable, you can definitely pick a few and swap them out depending on your mood. We got the Charge 2 in a size small (large and XL are also available) and in the teal shade. It might be a nitpick, but we did notice that in some photos on the Fitbit website, this color looks a bit lighter than it is in reality. Not a big deal, but just something to note if you were expecting a pastel-ish hue. The Charge 2 felt a bit bulky on our smallish wrist — not enough to really bother me during the day, but we didn't find it comfortable enough to wear to bed. This meant we missed out on the auto sleep-tracking functionality, which logs how long you're at rest in addition to the quality of your sleep. We couldn't leverage the smart alarm, which vibrates on the band to silently wake you up, either. Heart-Rate Tracking Since the PurePulse heart rate-monitoring feature is the main attraction here, this functionality gets its own section. With a sensor on the inside of the device (under the display), the Charge 2 continuously measures your beats per minute. Unless you're an avid athlete who uses heart rate info for things like marathon training, this number might not mean much to you on its own. This is where the Fitbit app comes in; clicking on the heart rate section (indicated with, naturally, a heart) will bring you to a chart that tracks your resting heart rate over time. Scroll to the right and you'll see that Fitbit uses your heart rate info to assign you a "cardio fitness score." This number is meant to give an idea of your fitness level compared to other people of your age and gender, and it's assigned based on your resting heart rate and the info you provide in your Fitbit profile. The scores break down into six tiers, from poor to excellent. We were surprised to see that our score was in the "good to very good range" — our father the exercise nut would be ashamed, but to us that's not bad at all considering we sit in front of a computer all day and sometimes "forget" to work out for weeks at a time! We found this to be the most motivating aspect of the Charge 2 — more than the reminders to move — since we want to see our score jump to the "excellent" level. It can also be useful to view how your workouts break down in terms of what heart rate zone you're in. Walking will generally fall into the lower-intensity "fat burn" zone, while more vigorous workouts will take you into the "cardio" or "peak" zones. Of course, you can also just tap the Charge 2's display to view your current heart rate — it's interesting to see how it fluctuates throughout the day. You can see which zone you're in at any time simply by tapping on the screen — not that if you are 50% below your maximum heart rate, you won't see anything but a heart; the other zones have specific symbols, all of which are delineated in the user's manual. My workout of choice is using the elliptical machine in the gym, and Charge 2 has a mode specifically for this activity. Other options include running, biking, interval workout, weights, treadmill or the very general "workout." Other Standout Features Another standout feature on the Charge 2 is the "Relax" function for guided breathing exercises. Pressing the hardware button on the side of the tracker will eventually bring you to this feature, and you can tap the OLED display to toggle between the 2-minute and 5-minute options. The breathing session is apparently based on your real-time heart rate, and it instructs you exactly when to inhale and exhale. We're a fan of the 2-minute option; it helped us take a step back during busy days and become more mindful of my body, and we ended up feeling calmer at the end of the session. It's not a ground-breaking feature, but it is a nice little addition to this update to the Charge HR! While the Charge 2 displays notifications from your phone when the two devices are connected via Bluetooth, it doesn't really add much to the experience. You can only see incoming calls, texts and calendar events on your wrist, and you can't respond to them or anything. If you're interested in robust at-a-glance notifications, the Fitbit Blaze or a straight-up smartwatch would be a better fit. This activity tracker includes more features than are fit to print, so make sure to check out the user's guide to make sure you're getting the most out of the device. We highlighted the new functionality, though, so there shouldn't be any surprises on this front. Battery Life The Charge 2 is rated for up to 5 days of use on a charge, and in my experience, it could easily go three days before needing to be tethered to the cable again. We tend to get nervous any time we see a battery life indicator dip below half-full, so we never let the tracker run till it died before plugging it in again. Bottom Line The Fitbit Charge 2 is a definite improvement over the original Charge HR thanks to new features like the cardio fitness score and the Relax guided breathing sessions. It's on the thick side, but it does allow for a large OLED display (bigger than what was found on the original Charge HR) that shows your current activity stats, incoming alerts and more. It's on the thick side, but it does allow for a large OLED display (bigger than what was found on the original Charge HR) that shows your current activity stats, incoming alerts and more. Long battery life and a smartphone app with comprehensive activity stats and analysis sweeten the deal. Starting at $149.95 and up (as of publication), the Charge HR isn't cheap, but it's certainly not unreasonably priced, either. Its functionality should satisfy most exercise enthusiasts who want to know more about how hard they're working, but don't care about more advanced features like GPS tracking. And while it's not exactly stylish, the band is relatively comfortable, and at the very least it's an inoffensive, sporty design. What we think: This is a great tracker if you're looking for more stats than what you'll find on most entry-level bands, and features like the cardio fitness score actually make it fun to use.

I'm worried about my mother. I've called a few times lately to see if she'd like to come down here, see her granddaughter. She always sounds drunk. She says, "I don't know what we're doing the next few weekends." I say, "Well, do you have a calendar? Look at your calendar." She says, "I don't have it in front of me." I'm thinking, "Well, can you get up off your ass and look at it?" I don't say that, of course. It would hurt her feelings and I'd be hearing about it for years. And her feelings are hurt beyond repair for the rest of her life. I get it, I guess. I can't imagine what I would do if anything happened to my daughter.
As usual, my brother is clueless. I asked him about this and he said, "I don't know. I've been working a lot of night shifts at the Uptown. She's always asleep by the time I get home." Who is he kidding? What is he doing at night? It's not like there's anything to do in that town at night. That guy has had so many chances, so many doors opened for him. And he manages to stumble through every one of them, or slam them in his own face.
My mother's definitely been worse lately. I'll be talking about the baby and all of a sudden she's talking about Ben. She came down here last summer, right after Ally was born. It was summer vacation, so she could stay awhile. She was with us three or four weeks — I don't remember that time all that clearly, actually. It seemed like a good distraction for her. Since then, though, it's like she's stuck at home. Ever since Finn came home from Chicago. Maybe she's worried about him. Over Christmas, over spring break, I keep saying, "Why don't you come down here and stay with us again?" And she says, all distracted, "I can't. There's too much to do here." Like what? She always sounds a little drunk when she says it.
Everyone seems lost in the past. I think that's why Finn is back there. Why would you give up a good job, after you spent all that time working in school, to go back to that little town and cook burgers and scrambled eggs? And it's a crime, because when I talk to him, he doesn't seem to be thinking of his brother, just his dead friends. Maybe that's why my mother has gotten so crazy lately about Ben. Because Finn seems to have forgotten him. But everybody's caught up with the dead. Sometimes I feel like screaming at them, "Hey! I know people have died, people have always died. Meanwhile, life goes on, and there's new life here. You have a new granddaughter, a new niece. How about caring about the family you still have? About life up ahead?" But it's no use talking.

cape vulture
Birds of Namibia
Introduction: Cape vultures (Gyps coprotheres) typically inhabit a wide range of areas that are linked to communal grazing such as farms or national parks. Groups of 100 are common with smaller flocks roosting on trees and power lines/pylons as well gathering on cliffs. Will only fly at night during a full moon.
Distribution: Etosha National Park, Waterberg Plateau and areas of central Namibia.

Description: Large vulture with brown plumage and paler underparts. Tail blackish brown. Has long powerful bill, distinctive hooked tip with sharp cutting edges. Sharp serrations on the stiff and channelled tongue allow for rapid feeding. The blunt claws on strong legs allow the feet to adapt for walking not grasping of prey. Coprotheres is a combination of 2 Greek words, kopros 'dung or faeces' and theres 'hunting'.
Breeding: Only 1 egg is laid between May and June on a platform-type nest built of twigs, sticks and dried grass. Incubation period is around 55 days.

-From the song "Try" (by Pink)
As they say, "Expectation is the root of all heartache." When we aspire for great things, we start expecting and hoping for certain outcomes. We work hard and dedicate so much just to achieve what our heart desires.
Then again, with many aspirations–especially the really big ones–the risk of falling is also too great. The more desire you have, the greater the flame you create. Successfully reaching your desire would raise you in a pedestal but failing to achieve it would burn you down.
Thus, in every great endeavor, remember to STAY strong. Do not let the fear of getting burned stop you from dreaming big. Work towards your life goal and do not back down. If you incur scars, then let those heal and serve as a reminder of the battles you've survived. Be proactive and keep moving forward!
For as you see, the greatest victories are EARNED by the strongest and most enduring ones.
So hold on, my fellow sojourner. Hold on.

Night Diver
Who should take this course?
The thought of dipping below the surface at night seems mysterious, yet so alluring. Although you've been scuba diving at a site many times before, at night you drop into a whole new world and watch it come to life under the glow of your dive light. The scene changes as day creatures retire and nocturnal organisms emerge. If you've wondered what happens underwater after the sun goes down, sign up for the PADI Night Diver Specialty course.
PADI (Junior) Open Water Divers or higher, who are at least 12 years old, can enroll in the Night Diver specialty course.
What will you learn?
Scuba diving at night teaches you to focus on what you can see in your light's beam, on controlling your buoyancy by feel, on staying with your buddy and on paying attention to details you may overlook during the day. During the course, you'll practice:
- Light handling and communication techniques.
- Entering, exiting and navigating in the dark.
- Identifying how plants and animals differ or change behavior at night.
How long is the course?
You work on the knowledge development at your own pace to complete it prior to the in water sessions.
The dives are typically conducted over two evenings. We meet before sunset to prepare for the dive and enter the water after dark.
What scuba gear will you use?
Along with your basic scuba equipment, you'll need a primary dive light and want to have a backup light, too. Your PADI Instructor may suggest other equipment options, such as wearing more exposure protection to stay comfortable after dark.
Ideally, it's best to have your own gear as you want to be able to tailor the configuration for your comfort and needs as you gain more experience. But don't worry if you don't, we can provide primary and secondary lights or even fit you out in a full set of gear.

The temple worships Saint Tan Vien, one of the four immortals in the Vietnamese popular mythos. Also called "the Palace of the East", it is one of four temples in Son Tay region dedicated to this legendary figure. Phung Minh Son, Head of Va temple management board, says: "Our temple on a hill looks like a turtle turning to the sun, in the middle of an ironwood forest of about 6 hectares. There are nearly 250 ironwood trees, of which 95 are listed as heritages. In the 16th and 17th century, the temple was very rudimentary made of bamboo and straw. But in the 18th century, it was rebuilt in the form of the current temple."
The temple has existed since the Chinese colonization of Tang, as evidenced by a stele built in 1883 in the reign of King Tu Duc. Despite its modest size, the place was sacred from the beginning.
Several other renovations were subsequently completed, including the largest in 1902. The place of worship today extends over 2,000m2, surrounded by a laterite wall two meters high. Following the precepts of traditional Vietnamese architecture, it lies on a North-South axis and its main gate faces Mount Tan Viên in Ba Vi district. The main gate consists of three wooden columns, which rest on a large laterite foundation. Just next to it are two towers facing each other, enclosing a bell and a drum. Their octagonal roofs recall the Khuê Van Cac pavilion at the Temple of Literature in Hanoi. The courtyard in front of the temple is subtly decorated with five bats surrounding a round window, a sign of happiness. Phùng Minh Sơn explains: "Our temple is the main place of worship dedicated to Saint Tan Vien. The Upper, Lower, and Central Temple are supplementary. Và temple also worships the mother goddesses and three deities of Mount Tan Viên and many other Taoist deities. "
The annual temple festival coincides with the first full moon of the lunar calendar. The most awaited ceremony is the procession of the ancestral tablets of the three deities of Mount Tan Vien (Saint Tan Vien and his two cousins). from the Và temple to Dôi temple in the neighboring province of Vinh Phuc across the Red River and then back to Va temple. Phung Minh Son says of the temple festivals: "The celebrations fall in the spring and autumn. The first takes place over three days, starting on the 15th day of the first lunar month. This is the most awaited and the most popular. The second festival takes place on the 15th day of the 9th lunar month. It always respects the ancestral tradition. Every year, thousands of pilgrims come to the temple and form procession three or four kilometers long. "
The autumn temple festival includes a ceremony in which 99 large white fish are caught in the Tich River are dedicated as offerings to Saint Tan Vien. The fish offering comes from an ancient legend that when he was teaching the villagers to fish, Saint Tan Vien caught 100 fish, including a pregnant female Clarias, who was released in a spirit of charity. That fish had nine baby fish who later turned to stone and headed to Va temple to thank Tan Vien.
During the holidays, the temple welcomes visitors from the eight villages of Son Tây and Vinh Phuc and from all over Vietnam. Nguyen Thi Binh, a resident of Son Tây, says: "I never miss the two festivals of the temple. I really like its quiet and serene atmosphere. Tourists come here not just because of the fame of the temple, but to enjoy its architecture and magnificent view. "

The requisites for sensory stimulation: elevation through design The scientific fact that humans are healthier when their senses are stimulated is rarely fully articulated in design. When consciously crafted for touch, smell, sound, taste, and, of course, sight, designed objects and environments provide a fullness of experience. So far, design knows a great deal about vision, and design education has been built almost exclusively around what is seen: there are many excellent examples of how visual experiences evoke strong visceral responses. However, this knowledge must be augmented with an equal depth of understanding of the other senses.
When doing desk work, it is commonplace to find ourselves looking up to take in the world surrounding us while we contemplate a problem. After focusing intensely on the task at hand, we are temporarily mentally diverted by the reflection of light from a passing vehicle or the rustling of leaves in trees.
On returning to the papers on the desk only moments later, our mind has cleared and we can study the problem with renewed energy and greater clarity. Small house plans Designers need to consider these subtle occurrences and employ the design equivalents
Of nature's bounty. This is not to suggest that they must literally incorporate nature indoors (although there are successful examples that use running water and trees): a mix of pattern, color, and texture combined with a change in the scale, shape, and size of design elements can create the desired stimulation.
In addition to developing a greater knowledge of the senses, the field of design should undertake the study of movement. Motion, literal or perceived, can be used to achieve mental calmness or activity. While motion producing calm may seem contradictory, consider the psychological effects of gently flowing water. Although light on surface patterns (the rough grain of wood on a door or furniture surface, a printed or woven textile, hammered steel, the layering of brickwork) may not actually move, it seems to flow. Patterns that mesmerize people in the same way as dancing flames or the surface ripples of running water can be identified and intentionally utilized as sensory stimulants. When our focus is captured by movements like these, the deeper mind is left free to concentrate on the task at hand. Movement and motion as design elements are present in any successfully supportive environment.

In Him I'm Satisfied lyrics
|Support this site by buying Unknown CD's
A big thank you goes out to Dawnory Tse for submitting these lyrics :)
|I was once so empty deep inside
trying hard to make myself alive
I seem so happy with all my friends around.
But my life was never satisfy
Then a friend so faitful and so true.
Held my hand and said "I long for you"
Suddenly I realize how much He loves me so
Though in the past I denied Him many times
His name is Jesus
The name above all name
He came to save me
And fill my emptyness
To him I've given my body, soul, and mind
Now I know in Him I'm satisfied
Now I know in Him I'm satisfied

Monsanto aims to use CRISPR to engineer food
Posted Sep 29, 2016 by
Tim Sandle
Agricultural biotech company Monsanto has licensed the use of the cutting edge CRISPR-Cas genome-editing technology for food production.
CRISPR - revolutionary new tool to cut and splice DNA.
UC Berkeley
Monsanto has licensed the gene editing technology from the Broad Institute at Harvard University and MIT. The aim is to use the emerging technology to produce crops such as corn and soybeans. The aim is to ensure these crops are more resistant to diseases and more robust to environmental changes, such as drought.
This is based on CRISPR technology. The technique enables researchers to remove and replace bits of DNA in a precise way. CRISPR is an acronym for "Clustered regularly-interspaced short palindromic repeats."
Digital Journal
has run an in-depth article on the technology
; here it is explained: "CRISPR is based on the functionality of a bacterium's immune system. With this defensive mechanism, parts of viruses that infect bacteria are retained within the bacterial genome. This allows the bacterium to later recognize and defend itself against viral infections in the future."
The technique is seen as a potential tool for helping to overcome world hunger (this is featured in
an informative Digital Journal article by Karen Graham
With the new genetically modified food news,
in discussion with New Scientist magazine
Tom Adams, who is Monsanto's head of biotechnology, has said why CRISPR is key to his company's aims: "Getting more productivity out of less acres with less inputs is clearly a critical thing for humanity. And gene editing is another tool that can help us accelerate that."
The use of genetically modified organisms to genetically modified food is controversial, not least because of the risk of releasing modified genetic material into the environment. This is a subject of concern with many environmental organizations, such as Greenpeace.
Here the environmental campaign group states
"These genetically modified organisms (GMOs) can spread through nature via cross-pollination from field to field and interbreed with natural organisms, thereby making it impossible to truly control how genetically engineered modified crops spread. GMOs cannot be recalled once released into the environment."
As a counter to this, English biochemist and molecular biologist Sir Richard Roberts has recently
sent a letter to environmental organizations
calling for greater dialogue about genetically modified foods. Here the academic is very critical of those environmental groups that he sees as blocking progress in relation to the use of GMOs in food production. In an interview with the European Union website
EUractiv, he says
: "Many people in the developing world are deliberately being denied the opportunity to use modern agricultural techniques to raise their quality of life."
As an example, Sir Richard Roberts adds: "Just golden rice alone, if its development was not being hampered, has the possibility to save many children from blindness and developmental defects. Currently, as many as two million children die every year from vitamin A deficiency."
In related news there is set to be an expensive and long-running patent dispute with respect to CRISPR technology as different parties fight for the right to use it (based on the matter of 'who really invented it and which university should patent it?') With this,
according to Nature magazine
, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office must consider in the fight over CRISPR–Cas9 gene editing.

Last summer I took a Sunday School class in which I was introduced to a concept called solidarity and I realized I had very little of it. Before that class I was really very uneducated and honestly uncaring about events and situations going on in other parts of the world. If a plane crashed in Illinois, I'd be all over cnn.com reading the footage and following the case. "How tragic," I'd think. But if I read of a plane crash in Mongolia, I am pretty sure I wouldn't even click on the link. Why? Why do I care more about the fate of fellow Americans than of those in another continent? As a Christian, I should care a great deal about the suffering of any fellow human being.
While in DC last week, we saw this quote on a world war II memorial near the capital building.
As I read it, I couldn't help but think about the fact that despite all we learned from the Holocaust, similar events are going on in the world with very little being said or done about it.
I can remember when I was in school and I read of the horrific events which took place during the Holocaust, I kept wondering why it took so long for America to get involved. "Why," I'd ask. "Why didn't we do more? Why didn't we care? Why did we wait until Pearl Harbor before we stepped up and ended it? "
And I can't help but wonder why, despite all we learned, and despite all we have as Americans, are we doing so little now for the hundreds of thousands of people in Uganda and Darfur who are suffering and dying due to extreme acts of violent genocide and complete starvation?
Why aren't we "mobilized" on this? Why does it seem that Hollywood cares more about the hundreds of thousands of people be murdered in Africa than evangelical Christians?
Why? What will it take? Surely there is something I can do to ease their suffering.
That's what I am pondering this weekend.
What are you thinking about this week? Heard a song lyric that touched your heart? Read something in a Bible study that got you thinking? Why not use your last post of the week to highlight something a bit "deeper" then the average Momblog fair? I'd love to read your thoughts. Please feel free to write and link up a new post below, or to link up a thoughtful post from earlier in the week.

There's a never-ending servitude.
To what I have no clue.
There's a decision that I've made that I can't remember.
I don't understand. I can't comprehend my own existence.
I see through and see nothing.
Behind the veil is another veil
and behind the mirror is nothing.
There's that emptiness now,
that's always there.
I know how to go a day without talking to anyone.
I know how to do it without anyone noticing.
The boy who would cry when his parents would leave the room,
spends most days alone now as a man.
Furious to live in a society where,
because I am a man, I am supposed to be okay
with no touch, no compassion, and no warmth.
It would feel more okay
if I knew I would live forever.
But I know that death is always close.
I know that I just want as much peace beforehand that I can get.
No one knows what death brings,
but I doubt it is anything as wonderful
as the touch of one that you love.
Maybe that's who or what that I serve.
Perhaps Death is as close to an idea of God
that I can really comprehend…
it is the only infinite that I have witnessed.
I stood there and watched them take his body
down the stairs and out the door.
Those same stairs I would sit on, as a teenager,
staring in the mirrors on the wall well past midnight
teary eyed and heartbroken…
but I did not know yet what true missing is,
true losing is…I did not really know
that the most intelligent and kind go away as well.
I did not really know yet that I will go too.
I did not know that.
I did not know yet that a man asking me for knowledge
of how to code,
would be killed by a car a couple of weeks later…
I did not know that a girl that I had a crush on,
would die from cancer.
I did not know that one by one my four grandparents
would disappear into the ether.
I did not know yet…I did not really know.
The only Infinite I have witnessed
There's a never-ending servitude.

Yesterday was an incredibly stressful day. So much so, I feel like I'm in complete overload and fighting the urge to flee or sit at the bottom of my pool – it's curently a tie. Instead, I got up in the middle of the night and had some Oreos. It's not like I ate the whole package or anything – I had three. However, I was truly bothered that I let myself get so out of sorts, I reached for junk food. I mean I never eat Oreos. And what has me so freaked out I grabbed for something that shouldn't even be in my house in the first place? Well, I'm still recovering from being ill and have this whole broken rib thing going for me (yup, apparently it's broken), kid stress, work stress, trying to get my new business up and running stress… It's a lot. Normally I would go for a run, but there's that whole broken rib thing I've got going on. So, it got me to thinking. We all are battling stress and things out of our control at some point or another. How do we handle those times without sabotaging our health?
I talk a lot about how important it is to eat healthy to stay healthy. But emotional health is important too. Find time in your day to breathe and regroup. There's always time in your day. ALWAYS! Find something that calms you and make time for that. Go for a run, listen to music, go outside for fresh air. Remove yourself from the situation. Don't let the small things become big things. Talk to a friend or loved one. Whatever it is that works for you, do that. Because nothing is more important than your health. Nothing.
So I challenge you to find small ways in which to work on handling the stress in your life. You know, that doesn't involve Oreos, because not taking your health seriously can have major consequences. Pay attention to your emotions, get rest and eat properly. Reminders for both you and me. Together we CAN do it.
Later this week, I will share what we've eaten for the week. Hint – NOT Oreos! (Geez, you eat three little Oreos in the middle of the night… 😉) But I did discover some new recipes I can't wait to share.
Until then,

My mother died in June 2012. Moments before she passed, you came to the hospice center in Skokie to perform a ceremony I believe is called Makura-gyo? Can you tell me the meaning, purpose and intent of that ceremony?
Also, at her memorial service, you gave my mother the Buddhist name Shaku-Ni-Raku (Eat–Joyful). Can you give me its translation (by the way, the name you chose aligns so perfectly with her) and the purpose of the naming tradition?
The Makura-gyo Service, literally, means "pillow Sutra." This is a short traditional short service just prior to death or immediately after death. In recent years, this service is not common (it is performed maybe 20% of the time).In the Pure Land Schools, it was believed that Amida Buddha and his entourage would appear as a person was dying and take the person to Amida's Pure Land. So, this service is to "welcome" a new Buddha to the Amida's Pure Land.
The Homyo or Buddhist name is given to a person, either at the Funeral Service (or a person can receive a Buddhist Name from the Bishop or the Monshu—head Abbot).
This is symbolically the name that one uses in the Pure Land, which is free of human limitations. The characters for the Homyo has to come from the Sutra (words of the Buddha), so only about 5,000 characters can be used.
For your mother, I tried to use characters that meant something to her. In talking with your family, I realized that food and eating were important to your family, thus I selected "to eat" and then the character for "joyful." This second character has deep Buddhist meanings about the benefits of the Dharma (Teaching), which is expressed as "great joy" or "joyful."

MEGAߥTE: 1. Cool, any way you can get a better shot?
2. I pity the fool
2)Umm Nintendo didn't make the CD-i, Phillips/Magnavox did that (with Sony collaboration). Sony's project was a system that would play both SNES cartridges and CDs and was known as the Play Station. Thus, the first system they released was really the PlayStation X, though the X was not official and should not be confused with their new PS2-based PSX. Sony and Nintendo split when Nintendo realized that Sony's licensing scheme would allow them to control the console market by releasing/licensing their own CD games and being able to play SNES games. Nintendo did actually get something out of the deal, though: the sound chip for the SNES was designed by Sony. Nintendo suddenly switched development of their SNES CD drive, called the ND drive (Nintendo Disk) to Phillips. This is how Phillips got rights to make a Mario and 3 Zelda games. This new drive would also play CDi disks, but was cancelled. The full story is much more complicated, of course. Pictures of one of the three development units, along with the planned look and disks can be found below.
3. I disagree. Such things would be very easy to miss if you consider how programming works.
4. Perhaps. Which ones did you want more of?

Kicking the Flu Naturally. Tips for Feeling Better Faster
The flu season is still upon us. I suspect maybe you've heard this through the widespread media coverage or through first or secondhand experience. Of course, the best way for dealing with the flu is preventing it in the first place! By seeing to it that you are taking good care of your immune system through a healthy diet and digestion, good sleep habits, regular exercise/movement, sunshine exposure, adequate vitamin D and zinc levels, etc. While these are all great goals, none of us are perfect in maintaining them all the time. And even the healthiest of us might get a nasty bout of the flu every once in a while. Fortunately there are numerous solutions available that can help speed up the healing process and even lessen the severity once we get the flu.
The following is a list of some of the best things you or your loved ones can do to help kick the flu (and regular colds as well):
- Rest: We all know this one, but sometimes we just don't do it enough. This is an essential element to a swift recovery. Just do it!
- Hydrate: Stay well-hydrated with mineral (or filtered) water and sips of hot herbal teas; Echinacea Plus, Ginger, and Licorice are some of my favorite options when you are trying to support immune function. Yogi Tea and Traditional Medicinals are some great brands that you can find online or at your local health food store. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon and/or a teaspoon of organic/unfiltered honey to your tea for additional help in soothing a sore throat and breaking up congestion. (Remember that honey is contraindicated in children under 12 months old).
- Nourish with light soups/broths: During acute illness, you're likely to have a low appetite. This is the built-in intelligence of the body, diverting important energy and resources toward fighting infection rather than trying to digest. Support your body's wisdom by going light on eating. Stick with easy-to-digest soups and stews. Homemade chicken broth or miso soup are 2 great options.
Here's my favorite Immune Support Soup recipe to make when feeling under the weather:
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1-5 cloves garlic, chopped or crushed
1 tsp-3 tbsp grated fresh ginger root
Fresh juice from half a lemon
½ cup sliced Shitake mushrooms
1 quart chicken broth or mushroom broth (or miso, see note below)
3 tbsp freshly minced parsley
1 carrot, grated
Combine the broth, onion, ginger, garlic, and mushrooms into a pot. Simmer for about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, then add in lemon juice, carrot, and parsley. Cover the pot for 5 minutes. Once cooled down a bit more, enjoy! Eat this 1-4 times daily.
*NOTE: Miso can be used instead of chicken or mushroom broth if you prefer. In order to preserve the probiotic benefits of the miso, it should never be simmered or boiled. To make this recipe with miso, follow all the directions above but use 1 quart of plain filtered water instead of broth. Once the soup is removed from heat and allowed to cool for a few minutes, you may add in your favorite organic miso. One good quality brand is South River Miso, available at many health food stores in the refrigerated section.
Some of Dr. McQueen's favorite support products to have on hand:
*Note: Any dosages listed here are for adults (non-pregnant, non-breastfeeding) only. Please consult with your physician regarding specific therapies and dosages for your child, or if you are currently pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Oscillococcinum – Take a dose of this homeopathic every 6 hours at the first onset of cold or flu. Let the pellets dissolve in your mouth. Best taken 10 minutes away from food or beverage.
- Immucore – Take 1 tablet 3x daily with food during acute symptoms of cold or flu.
- Vitamin C – Take 500 mg Vitamin C every 3 or 4 hours. Make sure to choose a non-GMO source of vitamin C, as many products out there are derived from GMO corn. Yuck! In terms of dosing, your body will tell you when you've reached your maximum dose. Back off on the dose once your stools just start to become loose!
- Probiotic – Aim for about 50 billion CFUs per day. Your probiotic should include Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. UltraFlora Balance or UltraFlora IB from Metagenics are great options.
- Vitamin D3 – For 3 days only, during acute symptoms, take 50,000 IUs of vitamin D3. After the 3 days of higher dosing, reduce dosage to 5,000 IUs daily during the winter months. (It is important to check vitamin D levels at least once yearly to make sure you are staying in the optimal range).
- Un-Petroleum Jelly – To protect that poor chaffed irritated skin under your nose, after you've been wiping your nose way too many times!
When it comes to getting over the flu, there are many effective ways to support immune function. The ideas in this article are just a handful to get you started. If you're finding yourself or a loved one stuck and having a tough time kicking the flu, reach out for assistance. We are here to help!
