Glynnis MacNicol on "No One Tells You This"
Thursday July 12, 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Join Astoria Bookshop on Thursday, July 12 at 7:00 pm with Glynnis MacNicol on her memoir "No One Tells You This." If you're over the age of 40 and you're not a wife or a mother, then what are you? What defines your life and your womanhood?
A revelatory memoir that pulls back the curtain on the lives of "all the single ladies" through the prism of one woman's 40th year as she embarks on a journey of adventure and self-discovery and an inspirational quest to embrace a seemingly radical lifestyle: living without a husband or children, happily. The very best of memoirs crystallize a particular experience with telling detail in a way that makes it universal, which is what MacNicol does so powerfully in this memoir.
Darnell L. Moore & Kleaver Cruz on "No Ashes In The Fire"
Thursday July 19, 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Join Astoria Bookshop on Thursday, July 19th with Kleaver Cruz interviewing Darnell L. Moore on his memoir "No Ashes In The Fire." From a leading organizer with the Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ movements comes a brave, beautifully wrought memoir of radical black love.
When Darnell L. Moore was fourteen years old, three boys from his Camden, NJ neighborhood tried to set him on fire. Darnell was tall and awkward and constantly bullied by those who saw him as other. That afternoon, the boys doused him with gasoline and tried lighting a match—but it was too windy. It was not the last time he would face death. "No Ashes In The Fire" is a story of beauty and hope, giving voice to the rich, varied experiences of all those who survive on the edges of the margins. As he reckons with what it means to be free, Darnell charts a glorious path toward liberation.
Where's Waldo Party!

His name is Tony, and Matt hasn't seen him in quite some time. We invited this character over to the house tonight, along with several other friends.
We've been playing board games an awful lot lately, so I figured that we would do something different tonight. We'd play a different board game. We'd play something that Tony would never forget.
This is not just any board game. This one is the mother of all board games. It is, perhaps, the single greatest feat of human engineering and ingenuity since my first hairy ancestor discovered the secrets of fire. Not all of my ancestors were hairy, but that one was.
As Tony comes in the door he spies my wife Trish. He says, "I used to babysit you when you were four. I was good friends with your brother."
Now this is strange because he came over to actually hang out with me and my brother. Turns out he lived next door to Trish until he was 7 years old. He didn't actually know that me and Trish were married. It's just kinda funny how small the world can be sometimes.
So Tony comes over and we break out the game. I get a lot of raised eyebrows when I do. I mean, I don't blame them. None of them fully understood the amount of sheer exultation that would result from this game. I didn't worry about their skeptical remarks, as I knew that none of their lives would ever be the same.
The game is called Loopin' Louie, and it's for ages 3 and up.
It's for 4 players, and we had five, so whenever a player was eliminated, the other player would take his place. By this method we managed to play a non-stop game of Loopin' Louie for almost 2 hours. Tony managed to squeak out the win.
Trish kept laughing at us. I dunno, something about 5 men running and screaming at the top of their lungs seemed to strike her as funny. Maybe it was because it was a child's game. Someday soon though, she too will experience the joy of 5 player Loopin' Louie, and on that glorious day, the laughter will stop.
At least the condescending laughter that we heard from her last night.

One month short of the 30th anniversary of his first US hit, Neil Diamond appeared in the round at the NEC last night--looking as fresh as a new spring daisy. At 55 the master performed more than 20 songs virtually non-stop for two hours before leaving the stage sseemingly no more tired than the minute he walked on.
From that very first hit, Solitary Man, through to plenty of new songs from his well received new album Tennessee Moon, Diamond earned the right to have the audience in his pocket. Not only does he write his own songs, of course--everyone from Barbra Straisand to the Monkees, UB40, Lulu, and Cliff Richard have recorded his works -- but he can't half sing'em too.
Unlike some other so-called stars, he also talks a good talk in between numbers. He doesn't walk off half way through to put on a new shirt, preferring to introduce his won marvellous band.
Nor Does he disappear at encore time. He simply steps to one side, lets the band enjoy a bit more of the spotlight and then carries on where he left off, barnstorming his way to the finishing line with hits like Sweet Caroline and Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show.
With the five-year recording break having sesemingly recharded his batteries, Diamond truly enjoyed himself last night to the point that he even sang Forever In Blue Jeans twice. Catch him at the NEC again tonight and tomorrow.
The Times (London) Tuesday, May 28
Review by Paul Sexton
Diamond the human jukebox;
FOREVER IN BLUE JEANS(Wembley Arena)
Neil Diamond's last hit single of any substance in this country was in 1980. But any suggestion that he might be working in reduced circumstances is soon answered by a glance at his UK itinerary. Diamond is on a 15-date tour of England's arena circuit and the demand to watch a true king of easy listening cannot, it seems, be sated.
Therein lies the difference between Diamond and the commercially motivated "cheesy-listening" movement of recent months. His love songs have an unaffected universatility about them and are built with such impeccable writing specifications that they leave little room for ironic reinterpretation.
Furthermore, Diamond'snew album, Tennessee Moon, is first record of new songs for five years, displays creative renewal, repositioning his skills alongside Nashville luminaries such as Waylon Jennings, Chet Atkins and Raul Malo of the Mavericks witout diluting his sound under a country hat.
Playing here in the round, he joined his ten-piece band on a revolving state, and the audience was on its feet before Diamond had sung a note. Over the following two hours, 10,000 devotees were wilingly manipulated by old-school glamour in one of the most opulently mounted productions the Arena has housed in a long time.
At 55, the singer wisely does not play up his sex-symbol status, even though an early lyrical reference to "bed" in Play Me brought a chorus of screams. New songs, including Tennessee Moon itself and Everybody, stood up well against his bulging portfolio of standards. Diamond has developed the unfortunate tactic of growling any line that his lower register can no longer countanance. but this crowd cared not, cheering Hello Again, Forever in Blue Jeans, Sweet Caroline and countless others.
After introducing his excellent group, he announded:"Together this band and I travel the world trying to make beautiful noises." The line, like the show, was delivered without irony. Showbiz is alive in Wembley this week.

How To Find A Sense Of Well-Being
September 27, 2010 by Deborah Calla
Filed under Blog
I woke up yesterday feeling a little frustrated about my life. And then I did the worst thing I could have; I compared other people's lives to mine. Half-hour passed before the side of me – which is in transformation – was able to remind me that each life is unique and life's journey is not a competition with others but it is the sculpting of us by us.
If we had real understanding and compassion for our struggles we would never put ourselves down. If we could achieve a sense of internal well-being we would never care what others thought of us. And how liberating wouldn't that be?

Yeah pretty much the same , she is just getting going. She was stout going into flower , may not need any staking. Not a ton of upward movement yet but is bulking all over. OG
Thanks for the input, how many females did you end up growing out? Can't wait to see the frost on these things!
This thread goes well with a nice Dark Roast, and a vape full of Sunshine Daydream to get your morning going. Thank you all very much for the feedback so far, and the love you're giving the girls!
If the Instant Cookies cut is flimsy you may need to add some silica to your regiment. I typically don't use a stake on her until about the 2nd week of flower when I trim the lowers back.
That said that is one of the traits I choose in the original F2 Starfighters among other things, and each generation after, and it has improved several lines. I bet she hardens off for you, but maybe a little later than the S.Outlaws.
Should have said "flimsier" not flimsy. Lol.
BIG difference. My bad.
Stay hazed Jake
Hello all hope you and your gardens are doing well. Street Outlaw #7 rolling along day 13 of 12/12 about 7 days since pistils were seen. So this will be day 7 of flower, Peace OG.
Hello all, hope you and your gardens are doing well. A couple more days 9 days for #7 , Peace OG.
Excuse me sir, but your balls are showing:
Yup, got the first male out of the bunch, I got my eye on another but going to give it a little more time just to make sure. Other than that the garden is going great, plants are looking green and healthy.
These plants look beautiful.
Love the dark colors and uniform appearance.
Thanks 99, keeping it simple here is the name of the game. Find out what does and doesn't work then add or eliminate from there.
Day 11 of flower here. All the other plants are rockin. Should be a good show coming.Peace OG.
The wee kitty is soooo cute mechelle xx
Sorry. Nice plants too.lol! Got bit carried away when I seen the cat hr he . Mechelle x
Street Outlaw #7 day 13 of flower.
She should be a frosty. Here is a sample just harvested from the mom- Icookie. Peace OG
Here are a couple quick pics for an update. Found one more male out of the bunch so that 2 confirmed males thus far. I need to transplant these things very soon. I am waiting for the new flower room to get done, little behind schedule.
Howdy y'all!Everyone's S.O. plants are looking awesome!
So, before I do a quick photo update I have some news- the giant GG#4 s1 decided to throw a second wave of male flowers and hit every girl in my garden, including the Street Outlaws. It's not too bad, but you will notice the pregnant action here and there.
Anyway....This line is absurd. The frostiest stuff in the garden, hands down. Still no need for stakes and they are bulking up now. They are hungry too, can barely keep up!
Hello all, hope you and your gardens are doing well. @Blowingupjake @hewhocoruptz nice looking plants all. Have #7 sitting 16 day flower, and yes they are going to be some frosty ones. Peace OG.
Man buddy you got them looking proper, nice work
You too OG, always rocking a solid grow show.
Wow 16 days since you flipped them to 12/12? If so then they bloom reeeeeealy fast Really frosty after such a short amount of time! Good luck!
No real reason to doubt him @Fisch.....is there? I have been knowing OG many years and can say fosure he grows circles around 90% of the grows I have seen in the last 30 years or so.....

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WHDH/AP) — Police on Friday released highway surveillance footage of the moments leading up to a deadly shooting involving officers on a busy stretch of Interstate 95 in Providence.
RELATED: Police shootout on I-95 in Providence leaves 1 dead, another injured
The Department of Transportation video shows a driver racing in a white truck down a highway Thursday around 10:45 a.m. as he tried to elude police cars then repeatedly ramming a woman's car as officers jumped out of the way.
Providence police identified the dead man as 32-year-old Joseph Santos and the injured passenger as Christine Demers.
Public Safety Commissioner Steven Pare says there was an imminent threat to officers' safety.
Pare defended the use of deadly force, saying the officers' actions were justified.
"This is very difficult when you have to use deadly force. Unfortunately, those officers that you see on the video believed that there was imminent danger of serious injury or death. They are trained that way and as a result used deadly force," Pare said.
RELATED: Police: No weapons found in truck police shot on I-95
Pare said all of the officers have been placed on administrative leave, protocol in any officer-involved shooting. The incident will be reviewed by a grand jury at a later date.
Authorities said no weapons were found in the vehicle.
Officials say Providence and state police fired 40 rounds total. Authorities say five Providence officers fired their weapons; they didn't say how many state police officers fired.
Santos was not the suspect in the theft of a state police cruiser that happened before the shooting around 9 a.m.
Demers, who was shot in the liver, remains hospitalized but is expected to be OK. Her friend Tammy Sarandrea visited her and said she is lucky to be alive.
"She's lucky to be alive. The way the truck was shot, they didn't have any weapons, it's incredible that the damage was done to that vehicle," said Sarandrea.
Sarandrea believes Santos panicked because he had warrants out for his arrest.

Two weeks ago I attended Stockholm Robot Championship at Tekniska Muséet. I participated with two robots; my minisumo Perfected Titan and a linefollower named squarewave which I didn't get to work properly in time. The results weren't that bad... Perfected Titan finished on 8th place out of 16 participants but he has played out his role now. He's been at two competitions so far and have only finished sort of half both times, it's time for a new build. The results from the competitions are here if anyone is interested. I filmed the minisumo-deathmatch of the competition, so here it is;

The Chaplaincy is central to the spiritual life of the College; in fact, it is involved in so many aspects of College life that it is difficult to know where to start!
Essentially, the Chaplaincy aims to help students, both as groups and individuals, become more aware of and confident in the spiritual aspects of their lives. Whether in becoming involved in Chapel, running an activity during Charity Week, seeking some guidance and support when things get a bit difficult or becoming more formally involved in the Church through confirmation, baptism, ordination or canonisation, the College Chaplaincy is there to support all students throughout their time at St Edmund's.

Omelettes are a breakfast staple, and for good reason. But if you want to one-up your egg game, there's a little secret you should know. To make the airiest and fluffiest omelette you've ever had, just add a touch of pancake batter right in with the eggs. The batter adds a fluffy yet creamy texture, and it tastes great with any vegetable or other filling you choose to put inside.
Crack open the eggs into a small bowl. Beat with a fork. Add in the milk and pancake batter. Beat again with the fork.
Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the pan.
Allow the eggs to cook for several minutes. Run a spatula around the edges of the frying pan to make sure the eggs are not sticking to the sides.
Take the pan and lightly shake it back and forth. If the eggs move with the movement of the pan, cook them slightly longer. If they don't move then it's time for the fillings.
Add shredded cheddar cheese, peppers, mushrooms and ham to one side of the omelette. Carefully, take the spatula and flip the other side onto the one with the fillings and melt the cheese. Cook for two more minutes, and the omelette is finished.

Maxi outfits were when a pattern however are currently a closet staple and they are right here to stay. Obtain your closet kitted out with a number of various maxi dress designs so you could look elegant and also trendy come the summer months.
The gown has been reanimated from the 70s period and also fits in perfectly with this season's 70s rebirth as well as 70s-themed items. Believe saggy hats, maxi dresses and relaxed guy blazers to measure up to the best 70s fad.
The best aspect of a maxi is that it is uncomplicated, versatile and suits all sizes and shapes, merely insinuate on straight from the closet and the job is done, no effort required!
Flatter your figure
As opposed to exactly what you might believe, maxi outfits suit all sizes and shapes, it's about dressing to flaunt your excellent bits and hide away your bad little bits – that's the key to maxi gown style, and also any kind of design!
If you are petite you will certainly need to team your outfit with pieces that lengthen your height, as an example, you can pair a maxi gown with a cropped sports jacket to extend your midriff and also with high heels to extend your whole body. Petite frameworks can look great in an outfit however you have to make certain to team it with the appropriate products so you do not look sunk in material!
If you do not want your stomach to demonstrate to yet intend to flaunt your breast, get a realm line maxi outfit to cover your belly as well as stress your chest. Empire line dresses are prominent on any kind number.
It is essential to keep in mind to try out a range of styles of maxi, simply due to the fact that one maxi doesn't fit you, doesn't imply you should not try another variant. That would be like trying on one pair of jeans and deciding denims do not suit you and also never ever attempting another set again. Maxi gowns come in all sorts of styles and also cuts so it's worth attempting a few on up until you find one that suits your figure.
Prints or block colours?
Selecting a maxi in a block of colour will certainly permit you to team it with a substantial variety of items of garments in different designs. And if you don't want to go for a print but intend to perk up your clothing, you could team your block maxi with vibrant and also brilliant accessories to provide your attire a bit of zest.
If you are deciding a printed maxi after that you can team strong prints with ordinary cardigans or sweetheart blazers. Printed maxis still have a great deal of flexibility, and also you'll look fresh as well as trendy if you pick a charming published maxi for a wedding or unique celebration.
The shoes you use will depend on the kind of event you are wearing your maxi to and your number and exactly what will certainly complement it. A set of wedges always look terrific with a maxi for a summer season's day as well as if you are tiny, a high set of wedges will certainly provide you height.

Fawn 35kg Oct 2006
If ever a dog has earned his stripes at stud the hard way, it has to be KC AND ALL. He's currently a top 10 (number 6) sire on the US sires list and everything's rosy now but it wasn't always that way. In 2009, his first season at stud he had only 1 litter of 7 pups and in his second season he also only had 1 litter .. of 5 pups.
Normally with only 12 pups on the ground in his first two years, he wouldn't have a shot but the quality of those pups was so good that in his third year he served 16 bitches delivering 98 pups on the ground, which was followed by 131 pups in 2012. With those ridiculously small numbers KC AND ALL is now well entrenched inside the Top 10 on the US sires list, while the sires around him have up to 20 times the number of pups on the ground compared to what he has !
It's not that he did much wrong on the track. Racing at Bluff's Run in Iowa, KC AND ALL started 113 times for an unbelievable 80 wins 14 seconds and 4 thirds. He won his races with brilliant early pace and recorded slashing times of 29.69, 29.80, 29.89 – breaking the magical 3osecs barrier 7 times and beating dogs the calibre of 2010 All American Team Captain, Yahoo Omar, All American NMS Sweet Thing and sire Little Andy.
In AUSTRALIA, he has already produced ..
2017 Golden Easter Egg winner STRIKER LIGHT, Silver Chief Runner-Up DEGANI, 3rd Silver Chief FAST CAR DRIVING, 2017 Nat Derby finalist DYNA BOOMER, 2017 SA Oaks finalist LIBBY RAIDER, 2017 SA Champion Puppy finalist LONG GULLY MAGIC, 2017 SA Oaks finalist SASSI KIST, Coonamble Super Maiden winner CANYA TOUCHE as well as the flying TOSS AND TURN, ALLEN OPTIC, LIZZY ALLEN etc

Published at Sunday, January 14th, 2018 - 18:13:24 PM. Coffee Tables. By Adorlee Deschamps.
Function. The way you use your coffee table is a key factor, if yours tends to double as a dining table for yourself or children, look for an easy to clean surface such as glass or poly, if you are intending on housing your DVD collection in your coffee table you will need to look for something with storage. If you have young children who may be crawling, or climbing on furniture, you may like to consider something with round edges, which does not necessarily limit you to round designs; many rectangle tables will have a softer curved edge.
Square coffee tables - a square table gives diversity to the theme. It is a traditional style of tables and is in existence since the beginning of the furniture era. A square table is easy to fit in the environment. However, make sure the size is suitable to your sitting room. Square tables are available in a multitude of designs and textures. Therefore, choose a table that matches with the rest of your décor. Usually, a square coffee table is made up of wood and so the rest of the furniture should also be wooden in order to adjust the square table to the environment completely.

High-rise tenant claim victory over landlord
Globe and Mail - April 9, 1989
Tenants of a Toronto apartment bulding who withheld their rent for three months say they got what they wanted from landlord Philip Wynn out of court -- and must pay only half of the rent they withheld.
"We're really encouraged by the settlement," David Bull, vice-president of the tenants' association at 125 Lawton Blvd., said yesterday.
Fifty-six tenants of the 12 story building, north of St. Clair Avenue near Yonge Street, began a rent strike in July to force improvements to their building.
They said that in the year since Mr. Wynn's numbered company bought the 30-year-old, 116-unit building, management let the building fall into disrepair in a bid to push tenants out.
Some vacated units, were converted to more lucrative rooms, with shared washroom and kitchen, while rents on others were raised to illegal levels.
Mr. Wynn tried to evict tenants who withheld rent payments, but they successfully fought the evictions and turned the tables, making him the defendant in Ontario Supreme Court.
After one day, the two sides agreed this week to settle, avoiding what could have been a costly trial. Mr. Wynn's secretary said yesterday he was at a meeting and could not return phone calls. Mr. Bull said Mr. Wynn agreed to meet several demands:
The lesson for tenants, Mr. Bull said, was that "when they work together and use the tools available to them within the law, (they) can conquer undesirable cirumstances."
About one-third of the tenants are senior citizens, said Mr. Bull, a data processing manager at the University of Toronto.
He said he pays $396 a month for this one-bedroom apartment, and acknowledged the rent is well below average levels in Toronto.
He said that if the landlord had explained to the tenants that he could not keep up maintenance levels at the low rents, they would have supported his requests for higher rent at the Residential Tenancy Commission.
Instead, "it's been a difficult 20 months since he bought the place and I regret that it had to go this far," he said.

When I first started using twitter, I started following comic artists, writers, authors, comedians, and the occasional celebrity. I also had no idea that you weren't supposed to reply to 90% of a total strangers tweets/twitter feed without creeping them out.
But I've learned that there are a few things that irk me the wrong way and I'm wondering if others feel the same way.
Tweet and Retweet were in a boat, Tweet fell out who was left?
If I'm having a very unproductive day writing my own projects, I may average about 3-4 retweets an hour of things I find interesting. There is this trend to tag as many people you follow or admire in one large spam of names. And I get that it's a way to show your appreciation to your followers. To me, it kind of seems empty. I would much rather engage in a conversation on twitter (also why I'm thinking of disabling the "like" button on wordpress. I'm trying to "like" less myself.)
I guess if you're going to do this mass retweeting of names, I'd prefer you kept it to two tweets at the most. The same goes for retweeting what others say. If you feel the need to retweet six times in a row, yeah I'm going find it annoying.
And now a word from our sponsor?
I think we all hate advertising. There's actually a… I don't know what it is so much as I know what it does. It allows you to make "sponsored" (advertisment) tweets. I'm guessing you get paid by the number of followers or some junk.
But what about ME?!
My patience is wearing thin with people who hijack my twitter feed with these mass-tweets. While I'm sure that captioned picture of a cat is adorable, can you space the next retweet about the pogo-using dog by a few minutes or an hour?
Tweeting reviews of your book, for example, is a kind of tweet I don't mind receiving. Good reviews are something to celebrate. I just don't think you need to celebrate these reviews repeatedly every hour or so.
Okay, I'm part of the problem too
I do sometimes go a little tweet-happy. I admit it, but I'm learning to use sites like hootsuite and tweetdeck to help space out what I'm saying, particularly when I'm sharing an article I wrote or a book I'm promoting.
There are people who do these things I'm following who do these things. They will remain nameless because there are reasons I follow them, but I am trying to keep the numbers of people I follow low. In fact, around once I a month, I do a purge. I don't announce it, but if I'm not engaging you in an active conversation, why bother, right?
Engagement is what twitter, and blogging to a certain degree, is what it's all about for me. If you want to be part of that engagement, I encourage you to follow me, say hello, and be part of the conversation.

ant-1.5.2-26 (the one that comes with release iso's of fedora core 2)
I downloaded JBother, which is a jabber client. I ran ant on build.xml
file, and it gave compile errors complaining it can not find some
classes (e.g. JText, classes in swing package) that are already in
J2SDK. (version 1.4.02) These packages that the java compiler
complained about not finding are already in j2sdk libraries (I opened
src.zip from j2sdk, and verified that they are there, we are talking
about basic swing components, javax.sound classes )
then I went and downloaded ant 1.6 from the apache website it worked
fine. Also I ran it with the 1.5 version that I got from the apache
website, and it was also working.
The best way to reproduce:
the address for JBother (an open source app)
and using the cvs commands, download the source:
CVS Access
You can download the latest development snapshot via anonymous CVS. Type:
cvs -d ":pserver:firstname.lastname@example.com:/usr/local/cvs" login
Just hit enter when it ask for a password. Then type:
cvs -d ":pserver:firstname.lastname@example.com:/usr/local/cvs" co JBother
To download the latest source.
go into directory and type ant. If you have fedora core installed ant
(the rpm) it will give errors about not finding j2sdk base classes.
go and download from ant.apache.org site, set ant_home etc. it works fine.
I think this is a bug with the gcj-compiled version of ant that is in
/usr/bin/ant in FC2.
Problem will go away if one relinks classic-ant to be ant:
su -
cd /usr/bin
mv ant gcj-ant
ln -s classic-ant ant
Behavior when compiling jmol source (www.jmol.org) is the same as
reported above. Random classes in javax.swing.text are reported as
missing in the import statements. If you rearrange the import
statements then the *missing* classes change/move around.
My platform is amd64. At first I thought it was a problem with sun
jdk-1.5.0-rc-linux-amd64. But I found the same problem with
j2sdk-1.4.2 ... the 32 bit version.
Relink as above and your problem will go away.
Sounds like the problem is caused by missing classes. I'm going to
defer this, since a) you have a workaround, and b) ant will be
arranged differently in FC3.

FLL Tips & Tricks Number 1: Starting an Elementary School FLL Team./
At my elementary school I usually have three or four First LEGO League (FLL) teams, and I start to work on the annual FLL challenge the second week of school (around August 20th) so that I am ready for the local competition (usually the second Saturday in November)
The two factors you need to consider when starting an elmentary school FLL team is cost and size. My advise is to keep the size of an elementary team under 6 students (fourth and fifth grade students). Although FLL allows teams as big as 10, that is way too big to manage at this age. I promote the FLL challenge big in my school so a team will usually be 4 boys and 2 girls.
You should charge each child $150 to participate. If your families can afford it then great, if not, you'll have to do some fundraising. So $150 multiplied by 6 equals $900, which should be enough to buy the field kit, LEGO kits and pay for registrations. If you have any extra then you can have a few pizza parties.

text: With last week's California Supreme Court ruling voiding all those gay marriages the city of San Francisco hosted early this year with the blessing of Mayor Gavin Newsom, we couldn't help but notice that the quotes have crept back into the news pages of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, showing up around "wedlock" and "nuptials" and "marriage" most any time the subject of that matrimony, those nuptials, or that marriage happens to be two people of the same sex. Those quotes. Those goddamned quotes. They've got an explanation, of course. Deputy Editor Frank Fellone will tell you with a perfectly straight face (or at least without chuckling into the telephone) that the quotes are there because the marriages aren't legal and therefore aren't marriages. Because of that, his explanation goes, any mention of gay wedlock needs to be buttoned up in quotation marks to keep it from being mistaken for real, honest-to-God, 60 percent failure rate, penis-meets-vagina marriage by you, the reader. I can't really put my finger on why this tiny bit of style business infuriates me so much. For one thing, it looks incredibly stupid on the page. For that matter, it must be an incredibly stupid-looking process — grown, rational people going through wire copy with a little red pencil, cordoning off any mention of those "wed words" behind barbed quotation marks ("Hey Frank, do we put quotes around both "wedding" and "cake," or just the "wedding" part?") It leads to some stylistic loop-de-loops that would have Strunk and White spinning in their graves. This paragraph from page 1-A of the Aug. 13 edition, for example: "San Francisco's gay "weddings," which followed a landmark ruling by Massachusetts' top court allowing gay marriage in that state, prompted President Bush to push for changing the U.S. Constitution to ban same sex marriage…" Get out the Excedrin 3, folks: "Weddings" is in quotes because gay marriage is no longer government-sanctioned in California (though it apparently was at the time the ceremonies were performed, and when the copy refers to). "Gay marriage" is not in quotes because gay marriage is currently legal in Massachusetts. Meanwhile, "same sex marriage" is also not in quotes, because it refers to the IDEA of same sex marriage, not two Jacks or Jennys hopping the broom together. I say: Baloney. Fellone and the rest of the editors at the D-G are not stupid people. I assume they don't bite their toenails, or carry around duffel bags full of expired bus schedules. Given that, they know good and well that without stapling a sidebar to every story about gay marriage explaining their complicated stylistic mishmash on the subject, the first thing the average reader sees in a story like that are those quotes. Specifically, what Joe Sixpack sees is some D-G editor saying "Gay Marriage" and making those little air quotes on either side of his head, the universal symbol for "Bullshit." That, folks, is editorializing on the news side. And whether it's intentional or not, it's still monkeying with the currency that all reporters use to buy their readers' faith.

Global Robotic Surgery Market to grow at a CAGR of 11.34% during 2016-2020
Press Release • Feb 01, 2017 06:12 EST
About Robotic Surgery
Robotic or computer-assisted surgery was primarily developed to help doctors perform minimally invasive surgery - operations carried out through a small incision in the skin and requiring little to no stitches or staples to close. In robotic surgery, doctors precisely manipulate miniature tools attached to a robotic arm using a console and video monitor, instead of directly operating on a patient. Minimally invasive procedures help reduce hospital stays, pain, and scarring thereby facilitating faster recovery and reduced hospital stays. Robotic surgeries are accurate and precise. They help to avoid damage to nerves or soft tissues, resulting in significantly less pain, the risk of infection, blood loss, scarring, and recovery time for patients. A rise in robotic procedures being conducted in hospitals also propels market growth.

Post Fight Comments
"I had a great opponent tonight," said Gassiev. "I prepared myself for a tough fight but it is boxing and anything can happen. We do a lot of work in the gym and I just listened to my coach round after round and he told me what I needed to do. That's all I needed."
"We worked hard to try to avoid this kind of punch but unfortunately he got a really hard shot through and hurt me," said Wlodarczyk. "We knew how good he was and we prepared hard for it. I wanted to use the jab as much as possible. My strength is the second part of the fight and we were hoping to bring him to the later part of the fight and take advantage."

Thomas Cook joins London Luton as the airport celebrates two years of consecutive growth
News • Apr 10, 2016 10:30 BST
Thomas Cook Airlines is to begin flights from London Luton Airport (LLA) in a major coup for London's fastest growing airport. The news comes as LLA marks two consecutive years of passenger growth.
LLA welcomed 1.05 million passengers in March, a 24.4% increase in passenger numbers compared with the same month last year. The increase marks the first time that over a million passengers passed through the airport in March.
Thomas Cook's arrival means that LLA has almost doubled the number of airlines operating at the airport from nine to 17 in the past two years. IAG-subsidiary Vueling and Air France-KLM's Transavia are the most recent carriers to begin operations from LLA since the start of 2016.
Thomas Cook will offer four new charter routes from LLA beginning in summer 2017. Flights will operate between LLA and the popular holiday islands of Ibiza, Menorca, Corfu and Majorca.
As well as welcoming new airlines, LLA is also seeing existing carriers grow their route network. Last week Blue Air began flights from LLA to Turin and will launch its fifth destination – Larnaca in Cyprus – from 25th April.
LLA is responding to record demand from passengers with a £110 million redevelopment and investment programme. The project will increase annual capacity from 12 million to 18 million passengers per year by 2020, as well as delivering major upgrades to the airport's facilities, including:
- A complete redesign of the terminal to create a quick, efficient, friendly and convenient passenger experience.
- Major upgrades to transport links, including better road access to the M1, new car parking facilities, a remodelled bus and coach interchange and improved rail links.
- Exciting new shopping and eating options and the development of a new world-class executive lounge.

text: Wow. Very sad news to report today. Guitar legend Gary Moore, one of my personal favorite rock players of all time, passed away in his sleep today in Spain. Moore was a huge influence on my own playing. I loved his uber-aggressive style, especially during the Corridors of Power / Victims of the Future era of his career. I remember being blown away when he essentially re-invented himself from a Euro-Metal player to a searing blues musician with 1990's Still Got The Blues. Truly a great player; he will be sorely missed.

My height is 5'4′ and weight is 58 kgs. Please suggest a suitable bike for me.
Bike suggestions
The suitable options for you would be Hero Splendor and Hero Passion Pro.
And the best of all would be Yamaha Saluto Rx 110 as it weighs as low as 98 kg. The Yamaha Saluto RX gets powered by 110cc, four-stroke, single cylinder, two valve engine designed with Blue Core Technology of Yamaha which can deliver 7.39 bhp power and 8.50 Nm torque. Moreover, the bike also carries good looks and features at a price of Rs. 46,400(ex-showroom Delhi).
If this doesn't suit you, Activa 125 by Honda is also a decent choice.

Steam is an entertainment platform that distributes digital content and provides instant access to games. It's also your wallet's worst nightmare.
What? Wrong steam?In Monstrum, Steam pipes are found in the lower decks of the ship, and will regularly spray steam in the players path. If the player is sprayed by the steam, they will be stunned, unless they are directly blasted by it.
Avoidance Edit
The steam pipes can be turned off via a master control valve located in a barricaded room on the lowest deck of the Engine Room. (The Player will need to lure the monster into the room via the phone junctions, to be able to access it.)
Note that the steam pipes on either side of the stairs to the helipad won't be affected by this and stay always on as they are a vital tool to ward off the monster when fuelling the helicopter.
Warning Sign Edit
The Pipes will make a thumping noise when the steam is about to be released. (This does not apply to the helicopter steam pipes, as they are always on.)
Death Animation Edit
If the player is hit several times by the steam, they will cover their (possibly horribly burnt) face and drop their head, before falling over and dying a rather painful death.

The WorkhorseFor us it makes total sense to carry a zoom lens. We have a 28-75mm and a 24-70mm zoom lens each. Both of these are fixed aperture lenses at F2.8. These lenses don't have huge zoom capabilities, but it's just enough to give you a bit of play. The fixed aperture is a must! Nice and wide for plenty of bokeh, and it won't alter when you zoom. I don't see the point in carrying too many fixed prime lenses when the day is tiring enough without the extra weight. If you're shooting full frame, then these lenses have enough width to get some wide cutaway shots and big group shots. They are also wide enough for use on a 'steadycam'.
The extra zoom gives us the scope to focus in if something looks good in front of us, and we might be a bit far off. I really don't see the point of having to move in to position, then move back out to try and get what you want in the frame? There's enough moving about and run and gun going on without being limited to fixed lenses. The thing about weddings is that there's a lot of unpredictability. A wedding will have some elements set, but it's capturing the moments that just appear.
The Big LensThe next lens in out kit is a 70-200mm F2.8. Fixed aperture again. These lenses are just amazing. They really aren't too big, and this lens will be used for many parts of the day; The ceremony for starters. As a wedding videographer you don't want to position yourself too close to be intrusive so everyone can see you. What's more, you don't want to get in the shot of your second camera operator either. This lens gives you the scope to focus on the couple. It also has the ability to get in close for those special moments such as the rings, and the kiss.
If you position a videographer at the back then the 70-200mm has the reach to focus on the couple. Usually if I am at the front with this lens I will also have a second camera that can stay fixed a little wider. I would probably use my 24-70mm again, and why not. With every ceremony venue being different in size, these lenses make sense to give you the flexibility you need. This way there is no added pressure with how many lenses to carry about. When thinking of the next thing you'll need to shoot, you'll be thinking ahead to what lens to change.
So far both the 70-200mm F2.8, and the 24-70mm (or 28-75mm) F2.8 are in our kit for most of the day.
As The Light FadesThe duration of each wedding can differ depending on start time, and the elements in between. Sometimes by the time we get to the speeches we would like a bit more light. As well, some venues are just naturally dark, or small. Some don't have any windows so there's no natural light. We are actually considering investing in some simple, subtle LED lights. We don't want to flood everyone and spoil any mood, but if we can have one or two offset just to give some definition then this could be worthwhile.
During the speeches we may turn to 85mm F1.4. This is to open up the aperture as much as we can to allow more light in. Mostly I am fixed on the top table with two cameras, and the occasional 'reactions' shot. This element of a wedding day doesn't require me to move about, so I can afford to find a position where my fixed lens is happy. A lot depends on what space there is and where we've manage to perch ourselves. Often there isn't the luxury of the perfect position. So again I would favour the 70-200mm F2.8, should the distance and light allow. If it's a bit close then a 50mm F1.8 can be useful.
The second camera operator is focused on people reactions as well as occasionally on top table from another perspective. Occasionally this camera perspective may move. As this camera perspective requires a bit more flexibility to hunt for the reactions, the 70-200mm F2.8 is again ideal.
Ultimately when it comes to light it will depend on your camera set up. If your camera is good in low light then this gives you more scope with the lens you can use.
The FinaleWith the light gone the artificial illuminations become your friend, and the camera loves colourful lights. The lens of choice now is the 85mm F1.4 and 50mm F1.8, with the 70-200mm lenses most likely put to bed. We find that these are great for getting people shots and dancing. Of course, with the aperture wide open at F1.4, focusing on lots of movement is the challenge. There are some great auto-focus capabilities now, but depending on what you have your camera may be hunting. So, manual focusing may take over at this point. If necessary we may also use a 35mm F1.4 which can be used if anything wider is needed.
So there you have it, my opinion on the best wedding videography lenses to use. I'm not saying I wouldn't use any other lens, but with this list I am sure most weddings will work out OK.
Best Wedding Videography Lenses
24-70mm F2.8/28-75mm F2.8
70-200mm F2.8
85mm F1.4
50mm F1.8

As most people in the US already know, there is a Harry Potter Theme Park being built currently at the Universal Studios in Orlando, FL. From the footage that has been seen so far, it is more than obvious that the park is going to be breathtaking for anyone who considers themselves a fan of the series. (Books or movies, though I don't hold much respect for the movie only fans. Pick up a damn book!) But yesterday there was released a video that gives you a bit more of a peak inside what the park will look like, specifically one of the rides you can take. Video after the jump:
The portraits will interact with you, you get to sit in a Hogwarts classroom, DUMBLEDORE'S OFFICE!?!?! Can you tell I'm more than just a little excited for this? This theme park better hurry up and open quickly before people are beating the doors down like Voldemort on a Butterbeer binge! My one complaint: Professor Binns doesn't teach Defense Against the Dark Arts. He teaches The History Of Magic. C'mon, people.

♥ Part of the Series 35 Lessons at 35 Years of Life ♥
With a commitment for bite-sized + deliberate action today, tomorrow, and every day that I keep putting one foot in front of the other to create what I believe in.
As the saying goes, "It's a journey, not a race."
Without a reference for this quote, just a knowing, as if it's an absolute Truth, I have been on a 5-year journey of entrepreneurship. A Journey, Not a Race.
I can see it with rose-colored lens. Not because it has been easy. Quite the contrary. It's more that I know I have traveled the path that was meant for I. Learning lessons that are now informing what's next as I keep putting one foot in front of the next. The experience that has been the ultimate test of feeling all the feels, the highs, and lows and inevitable uncertainty like my favorite roller coaster with it twists and turns and no sight of the track ahead.
As I shared in Lesson 7: Change Begins with a Belief, I was in Chicago last week for the 4th annual Culturally Responsive Evaluation & Assessment Conference. It has been a full week since the conference wrapped and the learnings and future implications are truly just beginning to reveal themselves. I loved returning to the office and being excitedly asked by colleagues and leaders, "How was the conference?" Below are my…
Top 5 Nuggets of Love from CREA 2017 & Chicago
- Continued Insights: I am in a place of honoring that the learnings will continue to drip out in the various spaces and places in which I am invigorated to share my insights and resulting dreams. What's magical is these are the same space and places where I lead and contribute.
- Research Validation for Intentional Justice™: Small action = the biggest impact ? This was one of my biggest takeaways from a roundtable I joined on Day 1, which is based in systems change research. As soon I heard this nugget of love, it was the confirmation that there's power in bite-sized + deliberate daily action.
- What does it mean to be culturally responsive? Simply put, I would define it as an individual, community, or organization that responds to an individual or experience based on a cultural understanding or competency.In other words, how one chooses to follow the dominant narrative or create or tell a counter-narrative. With this understanding, I am grounded in how culturally responsive along with culturally relevant applies to education, and in particular, research, evaluation, and assessment. Mission accomplished!
- Seeds Planted: It was a magically powerful experience to walk into a room and look around to be in a community of learners with fellow Black women, changing the game as leaders. As such, numerous seeds were planted that I am looking forward to nourishing in the weeks and months to come.
Is the Intention: Knowledge or Insight?
In the same roundtable session, I mentioned above, there was also the opportunity to ask questions and dialogue to not just simply learn knowledge, but as I later realized to provide an experience in which we as learners would experience an insight.< strong>insight (n.): the capacity to gain an accurate and deep intuitive understanding of a person or thing.
When I look back on my entrepreneurial and career journey over the last 5 years, as well as my experience in Chicago, one thing is clear.
Insight creates action. ~ mama j
In fact, find myself in a space of turning dreams into actionable outcomes. Project planning with intention. Honoring the time and space I have while also tending to individual relationship-building and collective community-building. The dynamic nature of creating within a system while also documenting the systems I've tested and begun to implement. Breaking each intention into bite-sized + deliberation action. This is Intentional Justice™
Systems change research confirms that it's the small action that has the biggest impact. We can simply focus on gaining knowledge or experiencing life and making choices that create the opportunity for insight. What will you choose: knowledge or insight?
Takeaway: There's rarely such a thing as an overnight success. Many have said it before, yet now for I, it's an insight instead of knowledge gained.
Intentional Justice™ in Your Life
So I ask, what bite-sized + deliberate action will you make in your life today to create insight?
It may feel like a leap, which often asks us to stretch our vulnerability and courage muscles, yet what I know to be true is it will be worth all the feels of uncertainty, as well as the twist and turns. That said, I leave you will a final Q:
What's been your superpower in your journey?
Tell me in the comments below it's where the magic happens.

Then the group sits down with Chef Henry, their private tutor to get pleasure from their creations. Travel overseas and you'll discover how typically you must show your passport: at accommodations, banks, Internet cafes. The opportunity to discover new and unique objects and repair at the place of travel have turn out to be much less prominent and in the end have resulted in the lower of the distinctiveness of the vacation spot. Whereas an amazing travel bag will not solve all your dangerous packing habits, it is square one.
Thankfully, most travel insurance coverage policies supply some form of insurance in opposition to the costs of postponement, which might save you some huge cash should something occur to delay your holiday plans. This assertion actually bothers me. It suggests that I would like his permission to travel solo. They've been described, conceptually, by San Francisco-based mostly travel privateness campaigner Edward Hasbrouck, who has waged a sometimes lonely marketing campaign to reveal them for years.
For these intrepid travelers who want entry to the remainder of the Middle East, Jordan is a good bounce-off point to visit different nearby nations. Number one of China travel ideas: don't even think about making an attempt to get anyplace on this present day—you're … Travel More

Guerlain has released a new edition of its La Petite Robe Noire scent - Miss the Sun. Inspired by the first days of Spring, the fragrance embodies a story of a girl wearing her new scented dress and makeup in an array of colours. A Parisian, this fictional figure is leaving her French homeland for the Californian desert. Created by perfumers Thierry Wasser (Master Perfumer) and Delphine Jelk (Perfumer), the scent incorporates rose with rosewater for an absolutely floral concoction.
"For her hippy chic trip, perfumers Thierry Wasser (Master Perfumer) and Delphine Jelk (Perfumer) have created a custom-made dress for her based on her favourite ingredient, rose, delicately incorporating it into a floral sillage blending rose with rosewater. On the road, she captures the hypnotic light of the last rays of sun to adorn her legendary "upside-down heart" bottle."
Alongside the perfume is a makeup collection that encompasses the La Petite Robe Noire spirit. A liquid lipstick range called the Lip Colour'Ink is Miss the Sun's secret weapon. It's got a "no texture" effect that can be layered for a bolder effect. Additionally, the Lip & Shine 2-in-1 gives lip colours a twist, with the choice of matte or shiny.

I'm launching the worlds first protein powder with customizable flavors. I want Thrillist to write something about it and send it to their list.
I found out that I had some friends in common with Richard Blakely, the managing editor, and asked for an introduction from our mutual friend Gary. After the introduction I wrote the below email to Richard. He responded that it is a great story, that Thrillist only writes articles about products close to acheiving their goals, and he'd love to write something about it when we are close.
Thanks for your help Jessica! You really helped me focus on what needed to be done for this email.
Here's the email:
Thanks Gary,
Hi Richard,
It's great to meet you. I'm a huge fan of Thrillist and wanted to pass on something new that could be a nice fit for your OWN section. I've attached an image of CustomWhey and our revolutionary flavor system. Our IndieGogo page has a video and bullet points on why CustomWhey is unique.
We think CustomWhey could be a great story for Thrillist for these reasons:
Under-the-radar – CustomWhey is the world's first protein powder with Custom Flavors. No more buying giant tubs of protein and getting sick of the flavor after 3 scoops.
Makes life easier – The unflavored protein base makes it easy and convenient to add protein to any juice or meal without ruining the flavor. No need to cook before or after a workout to get the protein you need.
Made for busy guys – CustomWhey delivers the protein right to your door, so you don't have to remember to restock.
If you're interested, please let me know how I can make the writing process easy for your team. I'm happy to send more hi-res photos.
Thanks for taking the time to check us out,

Q & A: English Language Library in Cuernavaca? October 20
Occasionally I have the honor of responding to individual people's questions about Mexico. The question and answer below have been posted with the permission of the original questioner:
I have visited Cuernavaca with my children this past summer and we hope to return for a month this coming summer. I just discovered your website and am enjoying browsing through it, finding ideas for our adventures. One concern that my boys (10, 8, & 4 years old) have is that they are AVID readers–often reading a book or two in a single day–and they are so worried that they will run out of reading material if we are there for a month! I told them I would try to find out if there is some sort of library that might have books in English for them to borrow while we're there. Do you know of anything like that? I'd appreciate any tips!
Thanks, Tricia Patton
Hello Patricia,
I'm glad you are enjoying my site and thank you for your note. It's always good to know that people find it useful. Have you found my articles on places to visit throughout Morelos? Those might be of particular interest to you and your family.
Your boys have a good concern and they are in luck. There is an English book library created and managed by Newcomers Club. You can contact them for more information. http://www.clickoncuernavaca.com/newcomers/Newcomers.htm. There are also some book stores in Cuernavaca.
Enjoy your trip. It sounds like you are all going to enjoy it very much.
Sincerely, Julia
P.S. They might not have many books for young readers. Your littlest may have trouble finding books he likes. They can fill you in, though.
Thanks so much!! I'll check with them about the books for preschoolers. Malcolm (my youngest) is actually perfectly happy to re-read the same 8 books over and over and over and over, so it's not quite as much of an issue as it is for his older brothers!
Thanks again, Tricia
