Greetings, fellow pony enthusiasts! Of late I was a bit busy with parallel projects, some of which being other literary endeavours (those in the know can tell why "Return to Skyrim" and the sixth Part of "House of Cthulhu" had to be released on their respective dates). But "Pony Boot Camp – Part Eighteen" is on its way, and there's even a sneak peek!
For those craving for the strictness and rigidity of a massive steel bit but not wanting to miss the experience of additional distress there was an array of models opening up in the mouth. Their scissors action put simultaneous pressure on tongue and palate. Advanced forms furthermore sported horizontal folding mechanisms and thus caused untold pain to the cheeks and jaw joints. Other constructions were so large I couldn't imagine how to make them fit into a ponygirl's mouth, and not a few came up with kinematic layouts I didn't even begin to fathom. The knowledge that Kendrick – or Miss Cuntling, for that matter – could choose any of them for me to wear was chilling.
Having enough from that combined shock value for now, I returned to the table where Slacker Boy was already sorting through the tack used this morning. He shoved a big bundle over to me.
"Ever done that before?"
I still own a pair of expensive biker boots I took good care of right from the start, yet I doubted this qualified me to tend to s&m paraphernalia. Consequently, I shook my head.

Despite all the talk of constriction in the credit markets, Wall Street's buyback binge continues. But whereas retailers did much of the purchasing earlier in the cycle, it's all about the commodities now. Oil refiner Frontier
That would be oil major Chevron
Can it pay?
Easily. Chevron's war chest is filled to overflowing with $12.1 billion in cash and equivalents. Against that amount, debt of $8.2 billion looks positively puny. Most importantly, Chevron generated $10.1 billion in free cash flow over the past 12 months. The firm has a plethora of options for how to deploy its cash during the buyback, but the long and the short of it is that Chevron can buy back all it wants, whenever it wants.
it pay?
I'm honestly not sure it should. I mean, for one thing, Chevron's stock is trading not just at 52-week highs, but at its highest price ever. If something should happen to send the price of oil tumbling -- something like, oh, I don't know, a recession -- buying back shares at the top could look incredibly dumb in retrospect.
But on the other hand, Chevron's trading at these highs for a reason: It's raining cash in the oil patch, and I just don't see much better use for all the cash Chevron is throwing off these days. The firm already offers a better dividend payout than what Exxon Mobil
So maybe, just maybe, paying for richly priced shares really is the best way to return value to shareholders. It sure hasn't hurt over the past three years.

How To Get Rid Of Garden SnakesMany people are disillusioned with the "build it and they'll come" theory where you painstakingly build a website (either yourself or hire someone). Get it done, see your name in lights and don't bother to follow thru with a marketing plan. Tsk. Tsk.
For many years because I am a storm drinking water expert and have major concerns and see storm drinking water fatalities, I hypothesize that most signs and symptoms that these loons equate to international warming can be attributed to faulty storm drinking water administration. And you can ask any storm water expert, and most if not all nations are dumping more storm water into their watercourses, seas and oceans then ever prior to.
P.S. Right here's your personal individual card for the Agony Arms Gate. If you lose this card, we charge you $50. And here's your own windshield sticker with your own quantity. We recorded this quantity in your file. Don't shed it!
Plant a variety of vegetation as you backyard, flowers, herbs and vegetables. Plan your backyard so there will usually be something to harvest. If you plant sweet corn, plant a row a week so you will have scrumptious, fresh corn on the cob for several months. Ask your children what their preferred veggies are then plant it and let them care for that crop.
Your first line of defense is to attempt and take care of the issue yourself. But the slightest misstep or error will only make the Pest Control issue worse. The very best factor you can do is to call a expert EcoTek Termite and Pest Control of Virginia Beach business to come in and deal with the problem appropriately. But there are so many various specialists available that it's often difficult to know which 1 to call. Before you pick up the telephone, think about the subsequent information. It check here will help you determine which business to select so that you get the very best services available to address your insect infestation.
Insects come in lookup of food as well, but it might not be food as we usually believe of it. Moths can be especially troublesome nowadays, particularly the garments moth. Whilst a cashmere cardigan might not appear a tasty snack to you or I, the larvae of the clothes moth feed on natural fibres this kind of as wool and silk. Carpets and previous garments left undisturbed in darkish corners are the perfect atmosphere for these bugs.
Eliminating subterranean termites is not tough with the right company performing the function. By thoroughly checking issues out you can be certain of a termite totally free home for years to arrive.

THE ZOMBIE FILM from White Zombie to World War Z by Alain Silver and James Ursini
To cover this increasingly huge genre of work comes this large format book that starts with the generally accepted first zombie movie, White Zombie (having already covered the myth and written words history of the undead) and takes the reader through all the various iterations of the zombie whether it be George A Romero's shambling metaphors for modern society, Stephen King's reanimated pets in a sematary, raging speedsters appearing 28 Days Later or (oh the horror, the horror) zombie strippers.
The early parts of the book are the more interesting as the formative years are covered with appearances by masters of horror Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff in films that set the earlier, voodoo-linked stories. That moves on nicely into the George A Romero period of increasing gore and social commentary. When it moves into the more modern era, it becomes less sure of itself, often becoming overwhelmed by the sheer amount of output that there is to cover and becoming often a list of films and what happens in them rather than analysis into the thematic and historical contexts. Of course, that might just be because there are no themes being examined any longer. The writing style is generally clean and accessible and entertaining, certainly in the book's earlier sections.
It is surprising, however, that THE WALKING DEAD television series gets so little coverage, considering how influential it has been in the genre.
There is a huge filmography at the end so that you can make sure that you have caught up with all of the more obscure offerings that the genre has and the book also has interviews with zombie filmmakers and contributors that vary from the interesting to the intrusive. For sheer coverage, the book also cannot be faulted as it covers the most obvious entries in the genre to some of the less obvious. It's concentration on the contribution made by Richard Matheson's I Am Legend is refreshingly insightful.
The content of the written words might be variable, but there is no faulting the visuals. The books comes stuffed full of lobby cards, stills and images of corpses in various stages of decay. As you can see from the cover image, this is probably not a book to leave where your four year old can get their hands on it and give themselves nightmares.
THE ZOMBIE FILM from White Zombie to World War Z might not be the ultimate guide to the zombie genre, but it will certainly fill the hole whilst we wait for that that one to come along.

Not many parents jump at the opportunity to have the talk with their children. Oftentimes they dread that painfully awkward day, and hope that sexual behaviour is something that they can leave to their children's school teachers or even peers to explain. However, research consistently tells us that young people greatly benefit from—and actually more often prefer—sex education communicated to them through their parents compared to other resources (e.g. peers, the internet, etc.). This is probably surprising to most of us. Unfortunately, we often think just the opposite, and discourage ourselves from engaging in that talk, which subsequently inhibits our children from navigating their sexual health as best they could be.
Now, just because this discussion of sexuality is crucial, does not mean it's easy. Sure, there will be the relatively easy parts; as in, disclosing to your child that most—if not all—of their friends who refer to themselves as sex gods are in fact virgins, scared to death of how their first sexual encounters will unravel. And, there will be the harder parts, which may involve informing your children of rape culture and our society's tendency to victim-blame. And, there may be even darker aspects to you and your child's discussion of sexual wellbeing—aspects I wish no parent had to engage in, but has the power to do so with strength, compassion, and dignity: their child's sexual victimization.
As RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network) explains, "there is no right reaction to hearing that your child has been abused". The parent may feel livid, scared, sad, or even numb; all these emotions and more are valid in you and your child's journey of healing together. Together, indeed, is the crucial term here; as previously noted, children whose parents openly discuss and support their sexual wellbeing yield the greatest outcomes, and the same goes for sexual abuse recovery. For instance, in Zajac, Ralston, and Smith's (2015) longitudinal research study of 118 mothers and their sexually abused children, maternal support was significantly correlated with lower levels of their children's depression, PTSD, and anger.
The following are suggestions of how to support your child through their healing from sexual abuse:
- Let your child know they did the right thing by disclosing the abuse to you.
o Praise them for their courage in coming forward.
- Consistently communicate the following messages to your child:
o I love you.
o What happened is not your fault.
o I will do everything to keep you safe.
- Remind them of their unique, and beautiful qualities.
o Their abuse does not define who they truly are.
- Seek help if you feel overwhelmed.
o Seeing your loved ones in pain can be absolutely devastating. Engage in self-care, and remember that you best help others when you are in a healthy headspace yourself.
- Express vengeance for the perpetrator.
o This has been shown to increase levels of PTSD among child sexual abuse victims.
o Keep calm, and your child will experience the least amount of anxiety.
- Deny or minimize the sexual abuse.
o If you're not listening, you're not learning.
- Feel like you need to fix everything on your own.
o There are plenty of mental health professionals and resources that you can introduce your child to. You are not alone in helping them heal.
Remember, no matter how hard you may try, you cannot control what happens to you or your loved ones. You can, however, control how you respond. Through consistent expressions of love, empathetic support provided by both you and professionals, as well as ensuring your own mental health is in-check, your family can begin to recover together from such a distressing tragedy.

Green Spectacles
A pair of green-tinted spectacles is on display in the Monticello Visitors Center. The spectacles are believed to have belonged to Thomas Jefferson, although we do not know precisely what he used them for. According to Silvio Bedini, tinted glasses first appeared around 1810. They were not typically used as sunglasses as we might think of them, but "to improve the vision out of doors."1

Report: All Nvidia G84/G86 Chips Defective
It appears that Nvidia's notebook chips aren't the only ones that could be defective, if an Inquirer report is to be believed.
According to sources, the entire line of G84 and G86 chips all suffer from the same defect, regardless of desktop or notebook application. The chip generation utilizes the same Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), which supposedly has an issue with an "unnamed substrate or bumping material, and it is heat related."
As expected, Nvidia is staying mum on the topic, but analysts are spilling various details. One story is that HP was the recipient for the majority of the defective chips – only limited to a specific batch. Further explanation reveals that it was isolated to an end-of-life batch that used a different bonding/substrate process.
The story with HP didn't fly with the Inq, as it believes that no changes in process were made throughout the chip's cycle, leading to suspicions that the defect is widespread. Furthermore, Dell responded quickly to failure reports by quickly issuing a BIOS update that pumped up the cooling for the vulnerable chip parts, which clearly shows that the problem ventured beyond just HP. Now HP has also a new BIOS to run the fan at all times at the expense of battery life.
While evidence may point to only notebook chips being afflicted, one theory is that notebook chips go though more stress than their desktop counterparts. Notebooks are power cycled more often, and by extension the GPUs go through more heat cycles – quickly exposing the defect. GPUs in notebooks may also be harder to cool, with less space for elaborate heatsinks and fans.
Unfortunately for owners of Nvidia G84 and G86 hardware, this could just be the tip of a very troubled iceberg.
random1283I'm not surprised by this. It makes sense that if the mobile chips on that architecture fail so should logically the desktop chips. I have also experienced it first hand. My 8600gt (G84) Gigabyte Silent pipe, Started Making noises from the GPU itself after 1 month and after 2 months it broke completely. I was very disappionted
Last time I checked silicon doesn't make noise. You "first hand experience" had to be a mechnical issue and thus not the same problem as the one mentioned here.
I Hate NvidiaTrueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
I had (had) 2 HP laptops ,DV 6599ee and DV6899ee ,both coasted me a fortune,both have the same nvidia disasterus 8400m GS,both now defective.
The problem shows itself as a crash in the OS (regardless of OS type itself) whenever you try to run any Graphics card-related aplication,such as Videos and games,the OS crashes n a message notifys you that ( nvdllmkm has crashed and recovered).
youcan actually bypass this problem by uninstalling the GC Driver,yet,you will notbe able to run any games or videos any more.
Soooooooooooory,but now I really hate nvidia,I had to pay 3000 $ for my laptops,now I just gave them to my chuld n my youngest bro to learn using PCs,n also,I am learning them to hate nvidia!!!!
fulle^Inquirer reported G92 and G94 chips as effected as well... but, as others have pointed out in the past, Charlie Demerjian seems to have a personal vendetta against Nvidia. Read some of his other work, its hilarious. To be honest, I'm not sure why the Inq site hasn't been sued for slander yet. Remember when he claimed EVGA was going to "defect" and stop selling NV boards? This guy will exaggerate any story he can to make Nvidia look a in worse light.
It's typically not the cpu itself, it's the motherboard. A lot of 680i boards suffer from the squeaky cpu problem. I had an old motherboard that had noisy ram slots, it was a commonly reported issue. I don't understand how but its true.
TheDozer42The Inq is full of !(@*& as always. I stopped reading that trash site long ago.
I've been hammering away at my 8800 for a year and a half, no problems whatsoever. I've never had a high-end graphics card stay on the leading edge of speed for so long (well over a year before they beat it by any real margin!)
It has a lifetime warranty from eVga anyway, so who cares? I'll just get the latest greatest for free when this one bites the dust someday.
I'd like ATI/AMD to survive just to give nVidia/Intel competition, but at the time the 8800 was the fastest thing on the planet by a large margin. 100% solid and reliable for me. =]
Inq shouldn't even be lining the bottom of birdcages, it's that poor.
nukemasterThe buzzing is a vibration. The most common cause is the coils in the power regulation system on the card. This is normal as the coils are sold as low vibration. It will vary from card to card since no 2 coils are exactly the same.
My X1900XT buzzes, replaced it with a 8800GTX, it buzzes even louder. so far the 4870 has not made a peep, its just luck. I have a motherboard that does it too.
I never noticed the X1900XT making noise until i moved it out of my Sonata case. so many users with quiet or noise dampening cases will not hear it. Now the 8800GTX lives in a Sonata II and you would be hard pressed to hear it now.
I do not think the buzzing had to do with the dead card, just bad luck.
sgmeridianThis report is completely false. Listening to the Q2 2009 Conference Call today, Jen-Hsun answered point blank that this issue was only with the notebook chips that they had earlier identified to be defective and thus took a $197 million write down for Q2.
Unless he would like to be thrown in jail by the SEC for saying something completely blatantly wrong to Nvidia shareholders, the real press (unlike The Inquirer) and analysts and then hiding an issue that's much more severe (all desktop GPUs in the G84 and G86 family being defective), I'm pretty sure it's just Charlie's vendetta against Nvidia at this point.
klemkaswell maybe it's not the GPU problem, but the cooling. because my dell xps laptop started to act strange, downclocking and laging games after half year of usage. i did my research, and found out that the CPU unit was overheating, not the GPU. i dissasembled the laptop and the thermal paste on cpu and gpu was all dry, so i replaced it with new paste, cooling problems solved, and all went ok again.
apache_liveshave to agree with random - i had alot of high pitched electrical sounds coming from alot of 8600's (perhaps one of the resistors, but only ever seen on the 8600's and one 7600GT - DEFINITLY NOT A FAN OR VIBRATION NOISE, and was even louder during 3D load) and just yesterday yet another dud 8600GT (asus this time) and when they were first out we had a large batch of dead albatron 8600's, at first we blamed albatron and they were releasing new revision cards every few weeks (different coolers, pcb designs etc) it was odd but now it makes sence.
...... This cant be good for Nvidia

"A Girl & the War" ~ Guest Blog
My entire being
is a battleground, in which
the Leper Writers, make their interpretation in the encyclopedia of tumbledown homes.
The newly returned wounded of war,
remove bandages from their bullet-stricken feet.
Boots after boots are being taken off,
announcing their arrivals to families,
so that the long period of anticipation is ended!
Wind is blowing,
and the child,
goes to the father's bedside.
Wind is blowing,
Mother holds the child in her bosom.
Wind is blowing,
but the girl, still young,
is the spectator of a weary horde of soldiers,
carrying the frigidity of her husband's corpse,
through the rushing crowd.

First of all there were the three simple words, 'Dream and do', which is a pretty magical mantra. The second piece of advice was, 'Source

Hadyard Hill windfarm extension abandoned SSE has announced that it is dropping its plan to extend Hadyard Hill windfarm. South Ayrshire Planning Committee had recommended refusal for the 22 proposed 126.5 metre turbines between the Stinchar and Girvan valleys, and SSE has decided not to proceed to Public Local Inquiry. SSE are still confident that they would have got the green light at the Inquiry. They maintain that their decision has been made on purely economic grounds, and that the objections made to their plan were not of any significance.
Sunday 17th September saw the final event in Barr Teas calendar hosting a well attended Ladies Lunch. It was again sponsored by local general builder Derek McWilliam whose continued support was much appreciated. After a buffet lunch the ladies were entertained by an informative talk on different cheeses ably given by Miss Sophie Wilson.

Barr village now has an automated external defibrillator (AED) for use in the event of a heart attack. Please read this as lives may depend on it.
It is located on the outside wall of the village hall at the back between the fire door and the bowling club.It is essential that residents and children understand that the defibrillator is not to be interfered with except in an emergency. You do not need training to use a defibrillator. They are designed to be used by people with no experience and are fully automated. The machine tells you what to do. St John's Ambulance and the British Heart Foundation both confirm that they are designed to be used by anybody, and that no training is needed. You cannot be held legally liable for using a defibrillator wrongly, and you cannot harm somebody by using it when not needed. The defibrillator has been funded by the Hadyard Hill Community Benefit Fund, to whom thanks.
Assel Valley Community Fund The Assel Valley Community Fund is now in operation and is inviting funding applications. It is administered by Foundation Scotland. To find out who can apply and how to do so follow this link and please read the Fund Factsheet.
The Stinchar Valley Quilters, based in Barr, held an excellent exhibition weekend the last weekend in July, highlighting the talent of local ladies. Click here for photo album Beautiful quilts and craft items displaying local quilting handiwork and the well stocked trade stalls drew a lot of delight & attention with very positive comments looking forwards to future Barr quilting events. It is hoped to exhibit bi-annually in the Hall. Afforestation proposal There is a proposal to plant a 40 hectare extension to Changue Forest above Knockeen, 3 kilometres east of Barr. The proposal and a better map can be viewed on the indoor noticeboard at the village hall.

Windfarm News The developers of Millenderdale windfarm, between Pinmore and Lendalfoot, have resubmitted plans with two turbines removed. More information is available here. Technical documents, impact assessments and visual montages are available to download here. Green Power International, the developers, can be contacted on 01259 272158 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com
Barr has a new footpath for you to try.
Barr Parish Development Company was formed in July 2013 by Barr Community Council. Carrick Heritage Trail The new Community Heritage Trail shows visitors a little of the individual character of Carrick's different communities. Barr Community Council formed a project group with the Heritage Trail's Project leaders, David Bett Associates & local artists Merlin Currie & Anett Forsyth to create Barr's contribution to the Carrick Trail. A Barr Village human sundial was designed and is now positioned opposite the Village Hall. A flat embedded mosaic central panel incorporates the infamous Laird of Changue's footsteps where one can stand and cast a shadow to tell the time. Barr residents of all ages have been involved in the project; measuring up for the mathematical accuracy of true north & the markers' positions, donating crockery and tiles, design input from creative individuals and primary school children, volunteering time and expertise for the installation. Geo-caching is incorporated into each Carrick community contribution, although without a signal, Barr visitors have to download a wee app to allow the mapping to take place as soon as signal is reached. It is hoped that this will form the first phase in forming more creative connections and interest with our local Trails and points of interest around Barr, i.e. each point of the timepiece will relate to one of the Trails e.g. Kirsty's Cairn, the Devil's Trail, Fairy Knowe, Dinmurchie and more. For further information contact 'firstname.lastname@example.com' Straiton under siege – our neighbouring conservation village is under threat from an overwhelming number of Windfarm proposals! They will in effect be surrounded, with no regard for heritage, environment, wildlife, habitats, scenic, geological or archaeological interest, sustainable wood management, local business or the social effects on the community. In Barr we have experienced the effects of a small (by comparison) imposed development. Please register your views at visitstraiton.com

text: Okay guys let me tell you my situation before anything. A couple of weeks ago my droid 1 got wet beyond repair and that was my 3rd replacement from asurion. They are no longer willing to replace my phone until I am under a new contract and I didn't want to pay another 90 dollar deductible anyways. So I am currently with my god knows how old BB Tour. I would replace my phone with verizon but the employees over at the one closest to my house are being stubborn and dont want to give me a CLNR. I know as you can see in my sig that I was rooted and I dont want this thread to turn into a "well your warranty is voided so that's what you get" kind of thread. I just wanted to know either of these things. Where can I get a cheap droid 1 with a good esn? Or what beast phones are going to Verizon in the next 3-4 months? Beast= Dual core, 4.3" screen, unlocked bootloader preferred.

This was an experimental week. I made three things I have never made before and one was a smashing success, one was okay (needs a little tweaking in the future) and one was a complete flop, so much so that when I looked at the photos of it I actually felt a little ill. Needless to say I will not be including that one in this post. The one good thing about it was that in order to rid the taste from our mouths we had to go for ice cream! Any excuse!
This Week's Menu:
So this was the smashing success. A sleeper really. I was not expecting it to be great and I actually put off making it for a week. The reason I put it on the menu in the first place was that I was wanting to try a new recipe with quinoa. I have a quinoa salad recipe that I love but I am getting a little tired of it. So anyway, I finally made it and not only did I love it but Jeremy did too, zucchini and all! That is definitely a success in my book!
1. Zucchini with Quinoa Stuffing
From Real Simple
makes 4 servings
1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed (The brand I usually buy, Bob's Red Mill, comes pre-rinsed which is great because the dry quinoa falls through my finest mesh strainer. This drives me crazy!)
4 medium zucchini
1 15 oz. can cannellini beans, rinsed
1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/2 cup almonds, chopped (about 2 oz.)
2 cloves garlic, chopped
3/4 cup grated Parmesan (3 oz.)
4 T olive oil
Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a large saucepan, combine the quinoa and 1 cup of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed, 12-15 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Arrange in a large baking dish (something with walls, not on a cookie sheet), cut side up. Fluff the quinoa and fold in the beans, tomatoes, almonds, garlic, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan and 3 T of the oil. Spoon the mixture into the zucchini. Top with the remaining T of oil and 1/4 cup Parmesan. Cover with foil and bake until the zucchini is tender, 25-30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until golden, 8-10 minutes longer.
Experiment number 2. The flavor in this dish was good but something wasn't quite right. I have been thinking about what is was and what I have come up with is this: The pieces of chicken were too large, next time I will slice them thinner, and there was not enough of the sauce. I am going to make these adjustments in the recipe below and hopefully it work out a little better for you.
2. Thai-style Stir-fried Chicken and Basil
Modified from Fine Cooking
makes 2-3 servings
3 T vegetable oil
4 medium shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
3 medium garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 t crushed red pepper flakes
1 lb. chicken breast cutlets (about 1/4 " thick), cut crosswise into 1/2" wide strips
1 1/2 T fish sauce
1 1/2 T fresh lime juice
3 t packed light brown sugar
1 cup lightly packed fresh basil leaves
Heat the oil in a 12" skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering hot. Add the shallots, garlic and red pepper flakes; cook, stirring frequently, until the shallots start to soften but not brown, 1-2 minutes. Add the chicken and cook, stirring, until it's no longer pink and the shallots are beginning to brown, 2-3 minutes.
Add the fish sauce, lime juice, sugar and 1/2 cup water. Cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is just cooked through and the liquid reduces to a saucy consistency, 2-3 minutes. (If the sauce reduces before the chicken is cooked through, add water, 1 T at a time.) Remove from heat, add the basil, and stir to wilt it.
This is an oldie but goody. Every time I make it I am surprised that Jeremy eats the asparagus and frankly a little surprised that I eat it too. This is one vegetable that I hated growing up but I have developed a taste for.
3. Balsamic Poached Chicken
From Real Simple
makes 4 servings
1 lb new potatoes, halved or quartered
3 T olive oil
1 t kosher salt
1/4 t black pepper
1 lb asparagus, trimmed
1 14.5 oz. can low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup balsamic vinegar
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place the potatoes in a roasting pan. Drizzle with the oil, season with 3/4 t of the salt and the pepper, and toss. Roast for 30 minutes, shaking the pan once. Add the asparagus to the pan with the potatoes, season with the remaining salt and toss. Roast until the asparagus is tender, 12-15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, bring the broth and vinegar to a boil. Add the chicken and, if necessary, enough water (up to 1/2 cup) to cover it. Simmer for 1 minute. Cover, remove from heat, and set aside until cooked through, about 15 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board. Return the liquid to medium-high heat and simmer until reduced to about 1/3 cup, about 10 minutes. Thickly slice the chicken. Divide among individual plates. Drizzle with the balsamic mixture.
These are kind of a cross between pancakes and blintzes. I love the flavor combination of the sweet applesauce and the creamy sour cream. We like to have breakfast foods for dinner.
4. Apple Blintz Pancakes
From Real Simple
makes 6-7 pancakes
1 cup pancake mix
1 egg
1/4 cup cottage cheese
1 cup whole milk (you could substitute a reduced fat milk)
1 T vegetable oil
3/4 cup sour cream
1 cup applesauce
ground cinnamon
Place the pancake mix in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the egg, cottage cheese, milk, oil and 1/4 cup of the sour cream. Stir the wet ingredients into the pancake mix and let rest 5 minutes. Place a nonstick griddle coated with oil, butter or cooking spray over medium-high heat. Spoon about 1/3 cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle. Turn when bubbles rise to the surface and the edges look cooked. Repeat with the remaining batter. Before serving, spoon 1 T of the apple sauce onto one half of each pancake; fold in half and top with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with cinnamon.

Blink-182 California Summer Tour – Irvine Meadows Amphitheater – 10.7.2016

Irvine Meadows Amphitheater – Irvine, CA – 10.7.2016

Blink-182, A Day to Remember, The All-American Rejects and DJ Spider concluded their California summer tour at the Irvine Meadows Amphitheater on October 7th, 2016. The soon to be closed venue greeted guests with a festival style space filled with booths offering merch, food and drinks. A KROQ tent was also set up providing music for those enjoying the lawn area during their pre-show hangouts.
DJ Spider treated the early arrivals to a remixed set filled with modern hits and throwbacks from a variety of genres. The crowd sang along to some fan favorites including Taking Back Sunday, Papa Roach, the Backstreet Boys and Lil Jon as they slowly made their way to their seats.
The All-American Rejects were the first band to take the stage following DJ Spider's performance. To set the mood for the night, the Rejects' gave a throwback filled performance consisting of most of their hit singles throughout the years. "Dirty Little Secret" got the crowd off to a great energetic start followed by "Swing, Swing" and "Gives You Hell" further into their set. Mid-set, the band introduced a new song "DGAF," which was written after five years of a musical dry spell. The new tune included a catchy chorus that soon had everyone in the venue singing along–complete with certain hand gestures in the air, of course. Lead singer Tyson Ritter heavily interacted with their fans giving unique musical intros and quirky comments throughout the set. In between songs, he rambled on about the venue closing, audience participation and showed a deep gratefulness to be there that night.
A Day to Remember followed next and amped up the crowd's levels to an all time high in preparation for the main act. The Florida natives' performance provided an energetic mood keeping the crowd rocking to their most popular tracks. There were definitely no "bad vibrations" with these guys–pun intended. Despite minor technical difficulties, ADTR kept fans engaged and invigorated into the night. The band's production included the expected beach balls and confetti cannons as well as a heavily decorated stage filled with large screens, TVs and old tape machines. ADTR rocked out with hits such as "I'm Made of Wax…" and "Have Faith in Me." They slowed it down with an acoustic performance of "If It Means A Lot to You" as fans lit up the night with their phone lights and lighters. By the end of their set, the whole arena was primed and ready for blink-182 to take the stage.
A large black curtain descended from the rafters and fell down seconds into the band's performance revealing three musicians on stage: bassist Mark Hoppus, guitarist Matt Skiba and drummer Travis Barker. In a recent lineup change, Skiba replaced blink-182's original guitarist Tom Delonge in early 2015 after Delonge left the band. Despite fans' concerns of how blink-182's sound and live show would be affected after the change, Skiba seemed to fit right in and all those worries were no more. Throughout the show, the band was exuberant in their performance. Hoppus skipped and danced across the floor and Barker pounded away on the drums. The set was filled with high energy classics such as "First Date" and "What's My Age Again?" mixed in with newer songs from their latest album, California. Even as the band slowed down their set with "I Miss You" or "Stay Together For The Kids," it was clear that they never lost sight of who they were. The crappy pop-punk goofballs were still very present. Fans were not left without gag songs and happily sang along to "Happy Holidays You Bastard" or the newer "Built This Pool." Hoppus was always prepared to crack some jokes in between songs. It was the blink-182 experience that fans have grown with and loved all these years. It was a night to remember and one can only hope to see more from blink-182 in the coming future.

Mercedes AMG PETRONAS driver Nico Rosberg has enjoyed the recent break from the fast paced world of F1, but is now more than ready to get back into the swing of things, after a relaxing few weeks have prepared him to do battle once again.
"It's been great to have a couple of weeks with the family to relax and recharge the batteries. I've loved every minute – but now it's time to get back to work!
"For me, it's like a clean slate at this stage. What's happened so far this season is in the past. I can't wait to get in that car, put my foot down and get everything I can from these next races."
The circuit de Spa-Francorchamps is a venue Rosberg counts amongst his favourite tracks, as it can throw up the sort of challenges that the German relishes.
A fan of looking back through F1 history, Rosberg names Mika Hakkinen's move on Michael Schumacher at the 2000 Belgian Grand Prix as one of the best moments seen at Spa, and would love to add his name to the history books with a win at the legendary track on Sunday.
"Belgium is a great place to kick start the year after the break. It's such an awesome track, with so many challenges and usually some crazy weather just to mix things up even more.
"If you ask any driver they will tell you how much they love racing here. And, if you look back through the years, there have been some great moments too – that mega move from Mika Häkkinen on Michael Schumacher down the Kemmel straight, for example. All of that history just makes it even more special, so I'd love to add my name to the winner's list."
Heading into the Belgian race weekend, the German is confident of a strong second half of the season to come, safe in the knowledge that he will have the best car on the track at his disposal.
"I'm feeling strong in myself, I know I'll have the best car out there and I'm massively pumped to be back on track, so let's see how it goes."

LONDON (CNN) — The incidents at London Bridge and Borough Markets have been declared as terrorist acts, according to London police.
Earlier, British Prime Minister Theresa May said the "terrible incident in London is being treated as a potential act of terrorism," according to a statement.
A van mowed down pedestrians as it sped down London Bridge in the British capital Saturday (June 3) night, leaving bodies lying in the roadway, a witness to the incident told CNN.
Also Saturday, two men entered a restaurant at Borough Market, just south of the Bridge, and stabbed two people inside, a witness told CNN on Saturday. The patrons sheltered in the basement and police have arrived at the scene, the witness said.
— London Bridge Tube station was closed.
— London Bridge was closed in both directions.
— Authorities have not provided details of the incident or said how many people are injured.
Mark Roberts, the witness on the bridge, said the van was traveling south across the River Thames at a high rate of speed and was swerving as it struck several people, knocking one person "about 20 feet into the air."
The van swerved into oncoming lanes before hitting a bus stop and coming to a stop, Roberts said.
"Within my line of sight, there were five or six people on the ground that were not moving," he said. "It looked to me that the van was aiming at the people."
People run down Borough High Street Saturday night.
Roberts said he heard what sounded like gunshots about 10 minutes later. He estimated 100 people were on the bridge at the time, fewer than earlier in the night because it was getting late.
"I froze, to be honest," Roberts said. "As I was thinking … which direction should I run, the van swerved across the other side of the bridge from me."
London's Metropolitan Police have not issued a report, saying only that an "incident" occurred on the bridge.
Borough Market, where the stabbing occurred, is a popular food market in south London, just south of London Bridge, with gourmet food and produce stalls and several restaurants inside.
The US national security team has briefed President Donald Trump on the situation and will continue to provide him with updates, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said.
The US embassy in London tweeted: "Please avoid the area and monitor local news/@metpoliceuk for updates."
England has been on edge since May 22, when a suicide bomber killed 22 people at an Ariana Grande concert at the Manchester Arena.
The bridge incident also comes more than two months after a man drove an SUV into a crowd on the sidewalk along Westminster Bridge in London, killing at least four people.
After ramming the car into a barrier outside the Houses of Parliament, the driver got out and stabbed a police officer to death. The attacker was gunned down by a police officer.
The assailant, Khalid Masood, 52, of West Midlands, reportedly had a criminal record and may have had connections to violent extremism, British Prime Minister Theresa May said.

BATH — When Hurricane Irma ripped through the Caribbean before landing on U.S. shores, Bath resident Tracey Morse-Bushnell spent a sleepless night hoping for a better outcome than the one predicted.
Her 20-year-old son Thaddeus, a graduate of Morse High School in Bath, lives in St. Thomas, where he is a certified scuba diver instructor and a U.S. Coast Guard merchant mariner. He works hard to make a living in a place that is a challenging paradise, on the best of days.
Morse-Bushnell, a Woolwich native, lived in the Virgin Islands for 10 years and began her family there. She moved back to Maine with her son in 2006.
"He spent all of his school breaks in St. Thomas with his father, grandmother, uncles, cousins, and friends," Morse-Bushnell said. "All of his relatives in St. Thomas are natives to the island. His father is a third generation St. Thomian."
Thaddeus rode out the storm in his family home, a sturdy cement building, but the damage to the island was significant. Just two weeks later, Hurricane Maria, the second Category 5 hurricane of the season, barreled along, its eye hovering exactly over St. Thomas.
While post-hurricane concerns were numerous — life without water, electricity, fuel or communications, peppered with a degree of lawlessness — the lively mom and fitness trainer poured worry-driven energy into direct action.
She undertook what she thought might be a modest fundraising effort, involving donations of goods and supplies (dropped off at Tony Dance Fitness Studio in Bath) and a bottle drive (launched at Brackett's Market in Bath).
Only two weeks later, Morse-Bushnell arrived in St. Thomas with nearly 800 pounds of supplies and a $2,000 cash donation.
"I found an organization called 'Patient Airlift Services' that matched me up with a private jet pilot to bring everything except for the toiletries … about 600 pounds of things like tarps, flashlights, batteries, diapers, solar showers, mosquito nets," she said.
"I brought over 100 pounds of toiletries down through a Delta Airlines commercial flight. They waived the baggage fees and it was cheaper than shipping."
She was also able to deliver the supplies directly to the right people by making the trip herself. "My first thought when I got to St. Thomas was, 'it looks like a bomb went off.' Debris and roofs scattered throughout the hillsides, trees bare and mangled. It's overwhelming and emotional. This is where people live, and it's just devastating."
Morse-Bushnell coordinated her efforts through an old friend from St. Thomas.
"My dear friend Karen Querrard has been working on distribution sites, and working with the Family Resource Center of St. Thomas. I had the pleasure of meeting Vernon Araujo, the development director of the FRC, and was able to give him some of the supplies that had been collected here along with a cash donation. He was thrilled!"
Morse-Bushnell decided to continue fundraising for the Family Resource Center after seeing their work first-hand, and says that making donations directly to the center is one way to help. She also recommends a group called Adopt A Family USVI, which pairs supporters and donations with families in need. Adopt A Family distributes care packages to groups including the Family Resource Center.
"They are very focused on getting the supplies directly to the people, assessing their needs, taking care of the families that are in shelters, providing kids' and seniors' programs. They are just an amazing group."
According to Morse-Bushnell, almost 100 percent of people are still without power, and will be for a few months. Only a small percentage of people can afford a generator and the fuel for it. Sixty to 70 percent have no roof, or have devastating damage to their homes, and most people are unemployed because tourism is the main industry. The daily rain makes everything worse, creating ripe conditions for mosquito-borne illnesses.
Morse-Bushnell says the people of the Virgin Islands feel largely overlooked and forgotten, in light of the hurricane damage in Florida, Puerto Rico and other big news stories of the day.
"People do feel forgotten by the mainland. That's what they're going through now," Morse-Bushnell said, " but they're resilient and are helping each other as best they can. I'm personally compelled to do everything I can, not only because of my personal connection, but because there are so many there that have absolutely nothing left."
Her son Thaddeus has always considered St. Thomas his home, and "is in his element there, it's what makes his soul happy. It's where he's meant to be," she said.
After the hurricanes, Thaddeus worked retrieving phone cable for a local contractor, and is about to embark on the hazardous work of underwater salvage in the harbor. "It's dangerous, but it needs to be done so that cruise ships can get back in," she said.

Phoenix, 08 Aug 2010A quick look at the Xperia X10 for those who are new with this phone, it's not my review guys ... moreI'm so tired of reading your biased review of this Phone. So, I will post a true user review soon.
Phoenix hi!can i see pdf files on x 10.is there any software?if there please give me the link
The ear speaker of the x10 isn't exactly good either :-) I remember I had to visit the toilet everytime I wanted to make a call with my x10. Yeah, it was really that bad. I have the Galaxy S and things are better now. My old Nokia was the best though. No wonder nokia rules the cell market by far while SE has lost almost all the market share it had. SE lives on past glory and empty promisses. How sad . . .
dear user,can you please advise for the diff in 2.1 and existing OS?i just want to purchase x10.
[deleted post]one word:
and want to share this with everybody....
i recommended my friend x1o, but instead, he bought GOOGLE NEXUS ONE.(from international)
after three months, he came to me to give his opinion.
It's a beautiful device with an outstanding screen. But, it is troubling at times as well. The screen is best at 100% brightness but your battery life is gone. Speaking of battery life, it is really uhhhh. Likely, it is due to a widget from the market, I turned it on at 7 in the morning and by 4 it was down to 35%. I didnt use the phone much though it is a clear caller but I generally dont use the apps and internet.
The worst thing about the phone is the speaker. Why Google allowed such a small button piece of rubbish be put in their flagship phone is MAD. IDONT LIKE to let the phone ring and never use the music from speaker, its bad than gALAXY S.
I have become MAD to having to tap things two or three times and hitting the "back" button.
but the phone is super built, rigid!!!
[deleted post]WOW, it's really cool, thanks for sharing it with us :)

"Previously on this blog we communicated that we will update our 2010 Xperia phones (Xperia X10, X10 mini and X10 mini pro) to Android OS 2.1 in Q4. We are today happy to confirm that all of these phones will now get the update to Android 2.1 from the latter part of Q3 and onwards (timing will vary from market to market, some will be in Q4. Please follow this blog for further information with regards to exact timing of the upgrades).We are of course very glad to offer this upgrade earlier than originally planned. Xperia X10s position will also be further strengthened through the addition of HD video recording as part of the same Q3 upgrade. A further upgrade to the Xperia X10 in Q4 will make it possible to connect and display wirelessly content on your television and enhance the Timescape and Mediascape applications."

Jeremy Cain, Community Participation Coordinator for Hallam diocese, dreams of a better Black Friday.
It's Black Friday this week, another American import that we might be better off without. Last year, in all the excitement, people in the UK spent £1.23bn online in just one day, an average of around £18 per person.
We all know the thrill of picking up a bargain. It's partly the money we've saved but (at least for me) it's also a sense that I've got one over on the retailers and even my fellow shoppers- "You didn't pay that much, did you??" I try not to say to my friends.
The trouble is, it's all a bit of a con. Research by Which? magazine shows that Black Friday prices are very rarely the cheapest, and that you're likely to find the item for less money in December. For example, an oven sold by Curry's for £494.99 on Black Friday was £45 cheaper three weeks later. If you have a steady nerve, it definitely pays to wait!
But with CAFOD you don't need to worry. If you buy a World Gift from us, you can be sure that you're getting it at our best ever price! Not only that but we absolutely guarantee that it will change someone's life: buy "Water for a family" and you will be providing poor people with a supply of clean, safe water in their homes for drinking, cooking and washing, keeping everyone safe from infection. And you can do all this for only £33.
So imagine, for a moment, that last year people had spent their cash with CAFOD, rather than Amazon, eBay and the like. That would have helped more than 37 million families stay free from disease, or taught over 120 million children to read, giving them a greater opportunity to work their way out of poverty; or it might have given more than 8 million refugee families protection from the winter cold. It's only a dream but wouldn't it be wonderful if it came true?
So, this Friday, we'd love you to shop with us. There's no bargains to be had, just dreams to be realised. You won't be saving money, you'll be saving lives.

Note: Full spoilers for the episode follow.
I had to skip last week's review while I was in New York for Upfronts and unfortunately, a confluence of other events means this review is going up very late itself, meaning I'm going to try and keep it short.
There were a lot of cool events this week, as The 100 continues to prove it's willing to go to some very grim places. From the opening with the drop ship being investigated, including random limbs and charred skeletons, to the abundance of people vomiting blood that would follow, there was plenty of grisly thrills to be had.
I will say that what appears to be the death of everyone on that drop ship feels like a waste. Why establish Diana over the last few episodes and her power grab if she was just going to die, along with all her followers, in such a random way? I had figured her presence on Earth, before any of the other adults, would be another chaotic factor to deal with, but instead, it looks like it's a non-factor.
However, the crisis that was at the center of this week's episode, with so much of the camp getting horrifically sick, certainly contained a lot of good drama. The return of Murphy also raised plenty of questions and while you just knew the other shoe had to drop, I'm glad it happened quickly on this impressively fast-paced series, as we – though not the other characters – saw his murderous revenge.
I feel like a broken record harping about the Clarke/Raven/Finn love triangle, so I'll just say that I really hope Raven ending things with Finn can end this aspect of the show. Raven noting Finn had been so quick to catch the ailing Clarke sounded silly and petty, given Finn had also run to save Raven while a group of Grounders were running at her in the same episode.
That moment aside though, Raven was pretty damn awesome in this episode, rigging the bomb herself, setting it herself and then attempting to shoot it, as she lay a few feet away, in what was an impressive display of intended self-sacrifice. And small touches helped to remind us she wasn't unflappable, such as her "Please don't let me blow up" as she handled the bomb materials.
I also liked how this episode dealt with Monty, who's been completely pushed to the side since the show began – which then became his actual storyline, as he noted Jasper had essentially begun to snub his best friend for the cool kids. I was worried that this was all leading to either Monty dying or Monty doing something over the top in terms of heroism, but I feel like they played it the right way. Monty was integral to taking out that bridge, but because he showed up at all and with another gun for Jasper to use – not because he somehow became a great shot himself.
The Verdict
The war with the Grounders has been teased quite a bit now, and it seems some big conflict is inevitable as Season 1 comes to a close. With the show getting more intense and raising the stakes, the situation is sufficiently exciting and I'm curious how the folks on the Ark will become involved in this war or if it will play out before any of them arrive.
