The Swedish light heavyweight is getting ready to face Glover Teixeira at UFC Stockholm in May. And after that he's got a couple of career milestones in mind.
When Alexander Gustafsson faced Jon Jones at UFC 165 back in 2013, he'd only lost once. An early-career submission to Phil Davis, in his second fight for the then-Zuffa promotion. After that loss, he went on a tear, submitting Cyrille Diabate and James Te Huna, KOing Matt Hamill and Vladimir Matyushenko, and taking decisions from Thiago Silva and Shogun Rua.
Then he gave Jon Jones what many consider to be the toughest fight of the former champion's title reign. Some even say that Gustafsson won that fight and deserved the judges decision. Since that loss, however, things have been a little less even. A TKO win over Jimi Manuwa was followed by a TKO loss to Anthony Johnson and then a split decision loss to Daniel Cormier. Gus rebounded from those defeats with an uninspiring win over Jan Blachowicz, and has another chance to build momentum with a bout against Glover Teixeira at UFC Stockholm this May.
A win over Teixeira could put Gustafsson back in title contention, especially in the current, paper-thin light heavyweight division. But, getting another title shot isn't the only goal the 'Mauler' has in mind (transcript via MMA Junkie).
"Jones is one of those fights I think everybody wants," Gustafsson told reporters at today's UFC Fight Night 109 news conference. "It's a hard choice because you have the belt, and you have Jones. Jones is a true champ in my eyes (because he never lost the belt in the octagon). There's no one like him, and to beat him would be as big as being the world champ."
Jones is currently riding the pine under the restrictions of a year long suspension from the UFC and USADA stemming from a failed drug test surrounding a planned UFC 200 bout against Daniel Cormier. Cormier, as the current title holder, is set to face Anthony Johnson at UFC 210 in April and – as Dana White himself has teased – the winner is likely set to face Jon Jones sometime this summer. If Jones manages to take back the UFC title, that could put Gustafsson in the perfect place to make his two goals one reality.
UFC Stockholm is set to go down on May 28th at the Ericsson GLobe in Stockholm, Sweden. The card is scheduled to be headlined by the light heavyweight bout between Alexander Gustafsson and Glover Teixeira.

The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) has announced a $91,000 grant to Rochester Institute of Technology to help students focus on the historical, economic and cultural meanings of community in and beyond Rochester, N.Y.
RIT is among the first schools to receive an award under the new Humanities Connections grant program.
"We are thrilled to receive this grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities," said James Winebrake, dean of the College of Liberal Arts. "The Humanities Connections grant will allow us to deliver new, distinctive courses, each offering our students and faculty a chance to learn about community from a number of important perspectives. It also allows RIT to deepen its commitment to community engagement through our University/Community Partnerships program."
The project, titled, "Community, Memory and a Sense of Place," will have faculty designing three new courses, each examining Rochester's development as a center of immigration, innovation and reform. In all of the courses, students will examine common texts on community, memory and sense of place. Beyond classroom study, students will also work on engaged research projects focusing on Rochester neighborhoods, illuminating for students the lived experience of community and memory through time.
"As students head into the world on internships and jobs, we want them to be prepared to interact with communities that have a very distinct sense of identity and place but are also dealing with myriad economic and cultural changes," said Lisa Hermsen, the project director for the grant. "We believe this program will provide both rigorous intellectual investigation for students and engaged immersions in communities."
Students will use oral histories and city archives to create final projects on Rochester history and community. Working with community members, they will also create a digital community website, which will eventually be displayed at the Rochester Public Library.
"NEH provides support for projects across America that preserve our heritage, promote scholarly discoveries, and make the best of America's humanities ideas available to all Americans," said NEH Chairman William D. Adams. "We are proud to announce this latest group of grantees who, through their projects and research, will bring valuable lessons of history and culture to Americans."
The grant team includes four faculty members in RIT's College of Liberal Arts: Hermsen, the Caroline Werner Gannett Chair in the Humanities; Ann Howard, director of RIT's University/Community Partnerships and professor of environmental studies in the science, technology and society department; Kristoffer Whitney, an assistant professor of environmental studies in the science, technology and society department; and Richard Newman, professor of history. The project will also utilize the expertise of area librarians, including Christine Ridarsky, Rochester historian and Historical Services Consultant at the Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County, and Marcia Trauernicht, the director of RIT's Wallace Library.

Do you know of anyone that has taken advantage of this program? It would be interesting to hear how this program has helped homeowners or not.

Christmas is nothing but a head game to a small child. But oh, what fun it is ... My son has asked for a ton of things and one of those is a new bike. So last night at dinner, we told him that Santa was probably all out of bikes and he should probably be prepared that he may not get one. Mean, I know, but oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face when he sees it, plus, it's hidden in lovey's man cave out back and its been nerve-racking trying to keep him out of the building. So, after looking at his list to Santa, I thought I would make one of my own. I already know what I am getting for Christmas, a new Nikon Camera! Yay me, but these things would be fun to receive and I may grab a few of them on an after Christmas sale.
All things aside, I am looking forward to all the hoopla, the cooking, Christmas day blasting of music, wrapping paper strolled everywhere, pancakes, staying in PJ's all day long, watching Christmas Vacation and roaring fire.
Happy Holidays,

Whether you know it or not, the Power Pross franchise (first started in Japan, and recently brought over to the US after over a decade of great games) is the best baseball franchise in gaming. Yup, those are big words – and it's also an opinion – but when you combine a mix of pitching and batting mechanics out of some of the best games in the sport with more stat tracking than any other sports series out there, enough modes to keep even the most diehard players satisfied for well over 200+ hours and beyond, and a style that's not only humorous and casual-friendly but also iconic and easy to spot on the field you're left with a series that truly ups the bar against even the most realistic baseball games out there.
When it comes to pure gameplay, Power Pross is unrivaled.
So when news broke that a Power Pross game had just recently hit the app store I was of course excited to see what 21275/imgs_1.html" class='autolink'>Konami was bringing to the iPhone as a debut experience. It's a tough market, with competitive pricing, the need for continuous updates to keep pushing players to game and buy more, and with the sheer amount of baseball games already on the platform there's plenty of steep competition. In the end, no matter how you look at it Power Pross just doesn't live up to the standards of today's iPhone games. Hopefully this is just a taste of things to come from Konami, since the series is capable of way, way more.
I don't have unrealistic expectations either. Yes, Power Pros is amazingly huge on other systems, and with the limited space and power of an iPhone there's less you can do, but there's also been a whole lot more done on the system already. One look at Baseball Stars 2009 – a game that is, whether you know it or not, a blatant wireless rip-off of Power Pros in every way – shows exactly what a Power Pros clone can do on the system. Everything from the Power Pros inspired career modes, stat tracking, RPG-lite upgrade systems, and full-on addictive baseball is there, so it's quite possible to bring serious gaming to the iPhone platform. In this case though, the clone is outdoing the original version.
So what does Power Pros Touch have? Well, it's not much, but it's a start. Booting up the game you'll find an exhibition mode and season option, as well as a link to other Konami games and an options menu in-game for things like announcer voiceover, auto-fielding, auto-base running, inning number, and the like. When you're ready to play though, it's all about either exhibition mode or season play.
The game has a total of six classic Power Pros teams – Pawapuro Stars, Golden Fox, Pegasus, Phoenix, Panthers, and Dolphins – but only two stadiums including the dome and open-air venues. No differentiation is made between the two though, so just like with the teams you have no idea if there are unique attributes or stats for the stadiums themselves (like distance to the wall, for example). As you'd expect each team has a different rosters of players, and each of those have stats, batting averages, and the like, but the sheer amount of info and tracking is nowhere to be seen in the Touch version of Power Pros.
As for the presentation, Power Pros has always had a great look, and that's still true. The characters are hilarious, the art is soft and looks pretty good on the screen, but there's also some odd issues to take into account as well. The character animations are low frame and sometimes slow to move or transition, thrown pitches are framey and not exactly smooth (little pops happen constantly in the framerate), and the field itself – particularly the stands – look like a low res JPEG and are blurry and cheap feeling. On the VO front it's great to hear commentary, though it's chopped up and missing segments. Every foul ball will bring about a "He pulled that one well!" voice play, while post-inning commentary consists of strange fragments like "Are starting to come back." No team name… just a fragment that says one of the teams is starting to score and get back into the game. It's far from polished, and at $3.99 there are way better options on iPhone.
The Verdict
The Power Pros franchise is a must-play baseball series; it just isn&#Array;t must-play on iPhone. With countless other games in its sport &#Array; some of which are as simple as addicting home run derby titles, all the way up to blatant-but-well-executed rip-offs of the Power Pros brand &#Array; Konami is going to have to seriously push itself to be a contender in the digital download arena. The Wii and DS versions of MLB Power Pross are amazing games, and the Power Pros franchise has been on dozens of platforms over the years. Now it&#Array;s time to put on the super-deformed hard hats and get to work, as this $3.99 scaled down &#Array;ode&#Array; to the real deal just doesn&#Array;t win out against its competition no matter which way you look at it.
Come on Konami. Knock this one out of the park. Everyone loves an underdog; especially when it&#Array;s a comeback story.
See what I did there with the sports analogies?

The Hosmer Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation is named for Harry E. Hosmer (HS '48, JC '50), whose career accomplishments are only surpassed by his generosity. Following graduation from Spring Arbor Junior College, Hosmer attended Roberts Wesleyan College and pastored a Free Methodist church for three years. He participated in The Youth for Christ Congress on Evangelism in 1957 in Copenhagen, Denmark, sparking his interest in international evangelism. In 1995, Hosmer worked on a private reconciliation initiative in the Balkan countries of Eastern Europe with Congressman Frank Wolf and Senator Dan Coats.
In addition to developing an interest in international relations, Hosmer also has a vested interest in the communications industry. While working with Youth for Christ International in Wheaton, Illinois, Hosmer served as the business manager of the YFC magazine and then joined the Hitchcock Publishing Company as district manager of advertising. Hosmer later established Brookhill Publishing Company, where he served as president and helped to launch a new magazine, Communication News, for the emerging communication industry. Hosmer founded the Royale Energy, Inc., in San Diego, California in 1982. As president of Royale Energy, Hosmer began publishing The Energy Report, written for laymen looking to invest in the energy industry.

St Giles' Cripplegate is one of the few remaining medieval churches in the City of London and, after surviving devastating bombing during the Blitz, it sits at the heart of the modern Barbican development. It is thought that there has been a church on this spot for one thousand years. We know nothing about the early Saxon church, which was probably a little chantry or chapel made of wattle and daub. In 1090, a Norman church stood on this site, built by Alfune, Bishop of London, who afterwards assisted Rahere, the founder of nearby St Bartholomew's, in building the neighbouring church of St Bartholomew the Great.
Some time during the Middle Ages, the church was dedicated to St Giles. The church's full name is "St Giles' without Cripplegate". The name "Cripplegate" refers to one of the gates through the old City wall, which had its origins in Roman times as a fortification to protect the Roman city from attackers. There is no definitive explanation of the origin of the word 'Cripplegate'. It is thought unlikely that it is referring to cripples, although no doubt there would have been plenty of cripples by the Cripplegate, wanting alms from travellers as they entered and left the City. It is more likely that the word comes from the Anglo-Saxon "cruplegate" which means a covered way or tunnel, which would have run from the town gate of Cripplegate to the Barbican, a fortified watchtower on the City wall.
Sections of the old wall can still be seen near the church. The foundations are generally Roman but higher up, the structure dates from various times as it was regularly strengthened and rebuilt. In 1760 the Cripplegate, which up till then had been used as a storehouse and a prison, was sold to a carpenter in Coleman Street for £91 (a huge amount at that time). The church was situated outside the wall at the Cripplegate, hence its name of "St Giles' without Cripplegate". As the population of the parish increased, the church was enlarged and it was rebuilt in the Perpendicular Gothic style in 1394, during the reign of Richard II. The stone tower was added in 1682. The church was damaged by fire on three occasions – in 1545, 1897 and 1940.
St. Giles is thought to have been a hermit, who lived in southern France in the 7th century AD: his feast day is 1 September. He is traditionally depicted with a hind and there are various stories as to why that should be so. According to a 10th-century biography, Giles was an Athenian from a wealthy family who gave away his inherited wealth, fled to France and made himself a hermitage in a forest near the mouth of the Rhone, where, we are told, he lived on herbs and the milk of a hind. This retreat was finally discovered by the hunters of the King of the Franks (one version gives the King's name as Flavius Wamba, another as Charles Martel), who had pursued the hind to its place of refuge. An arrow shot at the deer wounded Giles instead, as he put out his hand to protect the deer and was himself speared by the arrow. The king was so impressed by Giles' holiness that he built him a monastery on the site of the hermitage and made Giles its first abbot.
Giles later became the patron saint of cripples, beggars and blacksmiths. We are told that Giles was one of the most popular saints of Western Europe in the later middle ages. The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church describes Giles as one of the 14 Auxiliary Saints or "Holy Helpers", venerated for the supposed efficacy of their prayers on behalf of those in need.

A new white paper from the Schaeffer Center for Health Policy and Economics at Brookings Institute aims at solutions to surprise medical bills.
At an Oct. 13 briefing coinciding with the paper's release, various stakeholders, assembled by the center and representing insurance, hospital, provider and consumer perspectives, acknowledged the complexities of the problem and agreed that no simple solution exists.
Nonresident Senior Fellow Mark Hall and co-authors Paul Ginsburg, the Center's Leonard D. Schaeffer chair in health studies, and Steven M. Lieberman, a non-resident fellow, argued for change within existing market structures and rules to address the issue.
Among their main recommendations are federal action, increased transparency, dispute resolution approaches to fairly compensate non-participating providers and measures to hold patients financially harmless from additional out-of-network costs. They called for federal action in the form of using a certain percentage of Medicare rates to cap out-of-network billings for emergency services or legislation to allow states to create alternative measures adhering to federal standards.
Their paper correctly argued that state enactment "provides the greatest room in adapting to local market conditions and for continuing to try different approaches." In some states, insurers are required to allow the full usual and customary rate for out-of-network coverage, but due to the preemption of state law by the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), health plans offered by self-funded employers can set their own benchmarks, sometimes with rates as low as 110 percent of Medicare. At this time, without federal action, self-funded plans are not subject to the same state mandated requirements, thereby creating a disparity in the ability of state regulators to enforce reforms.
Though the authors also correctly identified the main differences between proposed solutions to this issue, they failed to address some important provider concerns. They suggest having hospitals require contracting hospital-based specialists join the same primary health plan networks as the hospital. But hospitals already put pressure on providers to join such networks. Coercive contracting can be a real challenge for hospital-based providers. Moreover, there is competition with other physicians or physician groups seeking contracts with the same hospital. Leaving providers the option to be out-of-network providers is one of the few factors that make the plans more inclined to negotiate for reasonable market rates for physician services.
During a panel discussion, Jeffrey Plagenhoef, MD, president-elect of the American Society of Anesthesiologists, pointed out that his training is in medicine, not medical insurance. "What we have learned is that the problem is not really the surprise bills as much … (as it is) surprises in what insurance covers and doesn't cover. Specifically, insurance companies are failing to create adequate and readily accessible networks," he said.
Colin Drozdowski, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield vice president of national provider solutions, said the overwhelming majority of physicians want to contract and work with payers, but a smaller subset are physicians who are "seeking to game the system." What was not mentioned is that out of the overwhelming majority of physicians who want to contract, a subset of physicians is not offered the opportunity to do so. In many markets due to mergers among insurers, the plans have the upper hand in contract negotiations with providers, especially in situations where the plans have a vast share of the regional insurance market.
The paper outlines two basic options for determining how much health plans should pay out-of-network providers: One is to regulate provider rates in surprise situations, the other is to mandate a form of dispute resolution. The paper stresses that a rate regulation approach "would need to be evaluated periodically to determine its market impacts and its fairness to respective parties."
In its discussion of various dispute resolution approaches, the paper concludes the most efficient method appears to be 'baseball-style" arbitration, which requires the reviewer to choose one of the two parties' final offers. But, because of its complexity, the U.S. health care system does not allow for a simple solution to this multifaceted problem.
"It's a bit of a porridge in the sense that it's not a single ingredient thing," first author Hall said.

Director: Ali Abbas Zafar
Cast: Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Girish Karnad, Paresh Rawal, Angad Bedi, Kumud Mishra
Well, Salman Khan's film is a festival for his fans and you can certainly witness that in theaters where Tiger Zinda Hai's shows are going housefull, But, how's the movie in terms of script, direction and other cinematic aspects? Read on to know.
8 years after India's most dynamic RAW agent Tiger disappeared with ISI agent Zoya, there is a mission which needs Tiger's expertise. Abu Usman, head of ISC, has taken hostage of 25 nurses and Tiger is the only one who can rescue them from the jaws of death. Will he able to do the impossible?
Ali Abbas Zafar and Neelesh Misra has written a story which is inspired by true events so it is naturally very relevant in today's times. The cruel face of terrorism, involvement of big nations in keeping terrorism alive for the sake of profits, misusing religion for power and then, the fight between good and evil and how, in the end, goodness prevails and bravery of soldiers to protect the humanity, are penned down thoughtfully.
However, Tiger Zinda Hai's biggest weakness is its length. For an action film, it was too lengthy (2 hours 45 minutes). Its pure intention gets diluted due to that as covering many aspects made it a dull affair afterwards. Tiger Zinda Hai has good characters written and they are introduced at right time. Director begins the film with a preface to the core scenario of ISC and its focus on Iqrit which is interesting. Then, the moment everyone was waiting for. Yes, Salman Khan's entry. As much as you can enjoy it, the scene of Tiger fighting with a pack of wolves is weakly shot and executed. It's not that you can't show a man fighting with wolves but there has to be some kind of sensibility in it.
Moving on, I loved the premise before Tiger and his team arrive at hospital. Tiger's meeting with Shenoy, his team talks, Paresh Rawal's character are all fine blended. The Hasan (13 year old) guy angle was also nicely directed by Zafar. All in all, the first half is really amazing which keeps you hooked with the movie.
Image Source: Yash Raj Films
Although the mega action comes in 2nd half, that is where things go wrong for Tiger Zinda Hai in terms of story and direction. Lots of things are happening in the narrative which make the film chaotic. The refinery explosion, Tiger's team entering the hospital and Abu Usman not being able to spot them as someone who might destroy his plans, seemed unconvincing. This is the time when the story goes sluggish and it gives a feeling of excessive stretching. Too many dialogues ruin the action film.
Actions were good, especially Katrina Kaif's deadly scenes when she rescues some girls from city council building. Salman Khan's big gun scene in the end is also worth witnessing. Like I said, due to its extreme length, Tiger Zinda Hai couldn't become as effective and entertaining as it could have been. Films in this genre need to be sharp and precise. Tiger Zinda Hai's dialogues are time consuming and worst of all, none of them are powerful and potent. Zafar could have given a better treatment to the rescue of nurses which in the end felt too boring. Even Katrina Kaif vanishes for majority of the end phase, making some kind of imbalance in storytelling.
After Tubelight, Salman Khan is back in his signature character which nation loves: Action, and he doesn't disappoint in his performance. Salman looked every bit of deadly and powerful. He understood that as Tiger, he needed to be not only stronger but also needed to show a leadership with his teammates. His conversations with Angad Bedi, Paresh Rawal and Kumud Mishra were good, giving a strength to the story. It goes without saying that Salman Khan killing bad guys, outsmarting Abu Usman and that unstoppable machine gun scenes are whistle-worthy. His chemistry with Katrina Kaif is charming.
Paresh Rawal is the best thing happened to Tiger Zinda Hai. His introduction and character made the film funny as well as terrifically engaging. He proves why he is one of the most respected actors of India. Angad Bedi and Kumud Mishra give fine performances. Hats off to Sajjad Delfrooz as Abu Usman. He was menacingly powerful and was so calm with his dialogue delivery.
Tiger Zinda Hai is an average action film which is too lengthy for its genre. It could have been brilliant if kept sharp and precise. Salman Khan holds the movie with his persona and macho action avatar due to which it is at least enjoyable. The film doesn't shine in direction and overall cinematic experience.

Weigh in: 86,9 kg
I won't go into much details about my measures, just go to my "Weight Loss Plan" post. I'll be doing recaps like this every Monday to reflect on passing week – weight loss related and not. 🙂 I'm also posting daily Instagram photos, you can follow me there (@munchandfam).
I want to applaud every single mom out there! I really don't know how I would keep my sanity if I didn't have someone to take over from time to time. For a while now, but mostly last week, my husband had so much work to do he barely had time to spend it with me and the baby. And to take a baby for a while. 🙂 That will, hopefully, end tomorrow and I'm so excited to work out without having to watch not to step on a tiny human. Because of that I mostly did pilates while the baby slept and we walked whole lot this week.
I went to a party! It was at the school where I used to teach. So I got to meet up with my (ex)-coworkers. I even bought myself a new dress that looked decent on me. 🙂 I hope we'll have some time to do a family photo shoot this weekend so that I can wear the dress again. 🙂
Oh, I had another OB/GYN check up. I'll speak more about my labor and delivery on a separate post, but I'm still recovering from it. Everything was great. My pelvic floor muscles are still weak, but everything is healed good. And if you ever had issues with pelvic floor you know, that it can bring some embarrassing side effects. Like peeing yourself a bit during the examination… #TMI 🙂
When I was looking for an app to store my measurements I came upon a lot of interesting information. I know, you shouldn't trust everything you read on the Internet. But I was blown away how different the information was. Let me explain. A "normal" way to asses if someone is overweight is BMI (Body Mass Index). Mine is 34, which puts me in "obese" section! I mean OK, I know I'm fat, but obese might be a bit exaggerating. But I didn't think much about it, until I found this tool that takes your measures and calculates your body fat percentage. So BMI uses your weight and height, this tool uses 7 parameters, but it's still just a calculation. With this tool my estimated body fat percentage hits almost 24%. OK, so where does that put me? For a woman that is actually an average score. High average, but still not obese. But the most interesting thing was the weight range that would be "normal" for me. My "lean body weight" still puts me in overweight BMI! Don't get me wrong! I know I'm overweight and I'm working on that. But I feel like we are a bit obsessed with BMI calculations, never looking at anything else. I'm considering getting an actual body composition measured just to see which one was closer. I'll look into it, there is a health center near me that does it.
Weekly goals:
- no sweets (it's holidays weekend, I need the restriction 🙂 )
- at least 3x pilates and 3x Turbo Jam
- updating the blog 🙂 (I have a couple of drafts that I hope to finish before the weekend to make this blog a little more presentable. I'm definitely making/drawing a new header. 🙂 )

'Wapi kaka?!'…'Mikocheni KFC pale.Wait…Yeah! around that place…Ummm! Wait! No, wait -God damn it! Make up your mind already – Don't go yet, bro!…Ummm to hell with it! Take me to Elements!'…'Poapoa'.
We cruised like a Venom GT, and before I knew it I was standing before a club bouncer. Damn this guy was big. Big, tall, buff, and dark skinned. Looked scary too, but still, big! He must have been from Mara, he looked like one – not shade aimed at my Mara people. Y'all are awesome – So I intimidatedly started approaching him while pumping up myself that I at least look like somebody to this gigantic buff black piece of a man. 'Shingapi bob?' I inquired…'Twenty k'…'Acha hizo man. It's ten. It's always ten k. I know it, and everyone here knows it'…'Sasa, why would you ask me if you know the price already?'…'Si uhakika bob! Ikishuka je nitajuaje?'…'Ebu pita kule'…SMH! 😤 So this is how you talk to a customer. What is this that I'm made a victim of? This man should have been fired already. Imma report his ass to the manager. Worse still, Imma file a lawsuit on his ass – shit you tell yourself when intoxicated-…Lord save me!
Elements was different on that day. It was kinda lit but not entirely. Was packed too, just like any other Saturday, but in my eyes, it wasn't. Well, it always does seem like that when you go alone, something I overlooked that day. SHAME!🙄 Lads just a piece of advice. Don't you ever go to a nightclub alone! It is boring and such a struggle. It is the very definition of social suicide.
Don't torture yourself like my crazy did. Please don't! Always back yourself up with your squad. Otherwise, no one will want to talk or dance with you for the first impression always matters, and people will judge you based on the people you surround yourself with. 'But Clev what if I got no friends free on that day and I really wanna turn up' you ask? Or 'what if I got no friends at all for that matter?' Exactly my point, who would wanna dance with a stand alone creep with no friends.
Truth is there's power in numbers'; Your pals will boost your confidence, will dance with you and most importantly take care of your drunk ass. God knows the kind of shit you could get yourself into when intoxicated…If you in VIP section, however, then yeah. They will follow you and beg to dance with you. But if you are a broke college student like myself, don't play yourself.
So what's the ideal number of a squad? Well, it doesn't really matter -coming from an incompetent person in this specific area- just make sure you have at least two people with you. One who could also serve as your very personal Uber driver is the one who doesn't drink. This one will take care of your ass before the masses. Another one is a drinking buddy and a personalised wingman. Well or wing woman for that matter. This one will have your back when you both embarrass yourselves before your potential suitors for the day and have all the drinking games with, something you will obviously regret about on the next day when your dead-ass hungover.
Speaking of hangovers, damn! Lord knows how hard they can hit you. They will sometimes hit you so hard that you will be praying to your God -whoever that is- and giving all sorta fake promises if he or she (maybe it) were to get rid of it for you. Kids don't drink beyond your limits! Don't play drinking games having had a pre-game before hitting the club. Just don't! 😞…SAD LIFE! THHAAAD LIF'…
Mr Edward Christopher Sheeran tells us the club isn't a better place to find a lover, a bar is. But here I was immersing myself in this group of the most deprived and stressed youth who now hate themselves for they hate their jobs and their lives, and all they wanna do is blow some steam. Well that, and the fact that in this degenerate generation of ours one is only considered woke and lit if you do exactly what am about to. The world we live in, SMH!.🤦🏽♂
Where do I even start? A club like this can look like a football arena if one is alone. So I agitatedly move around trying to have a conversation with different people, most of whom cannot hear a thing from my mouth, for reasons I still don't know. Is it that the music was too loud or I was too drunk to speak articulately? Either way, I will blame my loner ass for not bringing a wingman. Or woman for that matter.
'Hey, I know you!' she said excitedly. 'You're Clevance right?'…I was so shook but didn't want her to notice. So I scuffled my way near her and stood still while looking straight in her eyes, and then replied 'Oh yeah! Yes, I am. And what's your supposedly beautiful name, my lady?'…Lord! Save me now. What is this that am saying? Touché Clev! Touché!…'Bruh! How much have you had for a drink? It's me, Brian. I was a year ahead of you at Feza Boys'…At this point, I will just leave it like that. Like what the hell was I thinking. Imma just stop. 🤦🏽♂
'Ooh yeah. Of course! Brian. How are you doing my brother? Really sorry about that'…'You good. Stick with me, before you cause more trouble'…Thank God that this guy was here. I don't know what I would have done.
A little while after, the mood just changed. Every other song was more lit than the previous. Jidenna's Classic man! Justin's Sorry! I don't wanna live forever! Wizkid's Daddy Yo! Skin Tight! Mad over you! Davido's fall! Damn this Disc Jockey was on a roll.
To my surprise, I managed to dance with quite a number. Well, thanks to my crazy dance moves; the one that gets activated when my crazy ass gets wasted. Crazy moves bless up! VODKA bless up! WHISKEY bless up! TEQUILA bless up! And lastly and most importantly NYAGI bless up! Would also say wine, but Tanzanian (from Dodoma) wine sucks balls.
Landed me a dime even. Well, was too drunk to realise, but I bet she was the one who approached me. Who cares though?…So here we were, one leg in and I follow. Leg out and I am onto it. I gotta give it to her, this lady could dance! She was always almost a step ahead. I couldn't keep up. It went like so until Vybz Kartel's Fever was played. I couldn't lose to this one. All those Afro-parties in the US had prepared me for this very moment.
We were so in sync as though we had danced as a duo for two years now. Every minute detail was right on. Right on track to the very end. She was smiling her ass off after the song that I could see all her thirty-two teeth. Gosh! She had a beautiful smile. Well good but not as good as Queen Hatshepsut's. That Goddess was blessed in each and every way.
'Hey, when are we going?'…Utterly confused about what she was just talking about, I inquired for more…'I mean when are you taking me home?'…'Oh! Really?! I mean you should have said so'…🤦🏽♂ I was so disappointed with her taste in men. I mean why would you go for me? A girl that beautiful should be going home with Idris Elba and the like. Not me. Like, why would you go with me? Why? You should have seen the girl. She was the very definition of out of this world. The only person more attractive than her would be Queen Hatshepsut. But who knows, beauty lies in the eyes of a beholder.
Queen Hatshepsut though! Oh Lord Queen Hatshepsut! Don't even get me started here. Bless the progenitors that engendered this Goddess! Her touch! OMG, those hands! The bliss of her touch defies every adjective, and it is very unfortunate that I cannot explain well enough how good the feeling was.
So we hit the Bajaj and made a remarkably swift drive to my place. Well, it might not have been as fast, it's just we kissed our way back and was too busy to realise. Before I knew it we were in my room. She wanted to get down to business right away. I don't know when was the last time this girl engaged. I mean she all over my business, but I just wanted to sleep. I was too tired after spending the day with Queen Hatshepsut. All I wanted to see and could think at that very moment and time was Queen Hatshepsut.
She pushed me on the bed and aggressively started kissing me. Well, more like licking my face like all drunk people would, and I did not like it at all. It was not the kissing or licking that I did not like. It's just that my mind was somewhere else. My mind was just thinking of Queen Hatshepsut.'Wait! STOP!… I am sorry I can't do this.' … 'The hell? You think you too good for me?
'Wait! STOP!… I am sorry I can't do this.' I told her…'The hell? You think you too good for me? Boy, I just ended up with you out of pity'…'It ain't like that jamani! It's just that I can't do this because I like someone else. I am really sorry for your time'…She hurriedly picked up her stuff and showed herself out. She did all those without saying a word. I get the feeling though, and I really respect the fact that she was deeply understanding about this.
Now that she was gone I didn't know what to do. With my mind hopelessly roaming about the last day's events, I was taken away and started reminiscing about all the things I did or could do with Queen Hatshepsut. Oh, Queen Hatshepsut! At the event! And the bar! Her room. Until she decided to cut it short. Why did she pull out real quick though? I mean, what was it exactly? Did I do something wrong? What is my kiss that she didn't like? Or was it the fact that she realised that I was a mistake, that I didn't deserve to slide in? It can't be though. I mean she was laughing at my jokes. Laughed at my knock knock jokes even. The ones hated by everyone. Yeah, those ones. Wait chill! What if she was fake-laughing? Or laughing at my stupid ass and how stupid I looked telling the jokes rather than my jokes? What if that? What if this?…I really didn't like where this was going. I still don't.😕
Queen Hatshepsut! I hope we meet again sometime. I JUST HOPE.

Author Spotlight on Enid Blyton
By Lisa Bulpin
Enid Blyton have been a bestselling childrens author since the 1930's.
She has written numerous wonderful stories that children have loved for decades from all over the world. Her most well known stories being Noddy, Famous Five and Secret Seven. My personal favorite is The Far Away Tree! She has built a literary empire throughout the years that continues to grow!
Her stories are ageless and get passed down from family to family.
Enid Blyton was always very passionate about supporting charities. She felt very strongly about making sure her stories had a great moral meaning.
Enid Blytons Early Years
Enid Blyton was born in East Dulwich London, in August 11, 1897. She was the eldest of three children. Enid got her love for nature, art, music and literature from her father. Enid adored her father and didn't seem to get on with her mother because their interests were very different.
Unfortuantely Enid's father left her mother for another woman when she was 13 years old which devastated her. Enid didnt attend any of her parents funerals when they later passed away.
When Enid was a teenager she decised to presue writting. After she finished high school she moved to Seckford Hall in Suffold and lived iwth Goerge and Emily Hart. Seckford Hall was rumoured to be haunted and it was great inspiration for the stories she later wrote.
A bit later Enid decided to become a teacher and she enrolled in a National Froebel Union teacher training course. This was also a great foundation for all the wonerful stories she later wrote, who better to give her inspiration then children themselves!
With regards to her writting, Enid wrote numeous manuscripts that were rejected in the begining, but she never stopped trying. In March 1916 her first set of poems were published which I imagine was a very exciting moment for her. Getting her poems published just urged her on to keep writting and from then on she got numerous things published. She wrote poems, wrote in annuals and then of course the novels that we've all loved through out the years.
I really recommend getting some of her magical books, even if your child is too young too read, get the Far Away Tree and read a chapter a night to them. Stories like Enid Blytons are sure to spark a love for reading in your children.
View all the wonderful Enid Blyton books we currently have in stock, they are all fantastically priced too so you can start a wonderful collection that your children will be sure to love for years to come!

Anti-aerial spray proponents increasingly are disrupting Lane County Public Meetings
By Oregonians For Food and Shelter,
In the aftermath of the court ruling that the aerial spray ban measure will not appear on the May ballot, members of the local Community Rights Lane County group have now turned their efforts to pressuring the Lane County Commission to take-up the issue though a work group. They are also pushing the county commission to refer the issue directly to voters.
They have been showing up each week at the county commission meetings and are becoming more and more disruptive. This last week, after an hour long public comment period and the commissioner's response, they began chanting, this became so disruptive the police cleared the room and the commissioners moved to a small conference room for the remainder of their meeting.
This lack of civility is extremely disconcerting. It's even more troubling that there have been a series threats against the commissioners and staff over this issue.
With political disagreement at a fevered pitch in our nation right now, it's more important than ever to remember the art of disagreeing without being disagreeable. While it's appropriate to challenge ideas from our public officials, they should not have to face the intimidation that the Lane County commissioners are currently facing.
Why do environmentalists have to be so demeaning?
Threats to local officials? That means threats to average citizens and open government. We gotta resolve our arguments together. Not everybody wins. They should be teaching that in school.
Our beloved President sets such a great example on this by questioning the birthplace of his predecessor, unfairly disparaging the media, and suggesting that the FBI and the courts are treating him unfairly, etc. Maybe after we get rid of that guy and fix our democratic institutions so they better represent the people, we can get back to civil discourse. Until then … get ready for the resistance!

Yesterday was better. I was at the most magical little resort in the middle of the jungle having a relaxing time when the receptionist suggested that I check out sandakan. She said it's "really nice and fun and by the sea".
Well, she must have hated me because I have never been to a bigger shit hole in my life. I'm not exaggerating.
This place is a DUMP. I am literally locking myself in my room until Monday morning when it's time to leave. At least I have HBO and Dewey Cox.

|Alasa sits at the counter of the diner, a menu opened in her hands as she tries to decide what to order.
|Alasa flips through the pages of the menu, "So hard to decide...not sure what I'm hungry for."
|Alasa runs her finger down the menu, "Tell you what...I'll take the blue plate special, an order of fries, some onion rings, and a pot of hot water."
|Alasa smiles, as she turns to watch out one of the diner windows.
|Alasa turns around, as she hears plates being set down..."Ah, it all looks so good..thanks." She then picks up the salt shaker, and seasons some of her food. Grabbing her fork, she starts to eat.
|Alasa pours a glass of the hot water, and drops a tea bag into the glass...swirling it a bit, before she goes back to eating.
|Alasa finishes off her meal, and sets her silverware down....she then picks up her glass, and drinks her tea.
|Alasa says, "A very fine meal, I must say..my compliments to the chef." She continues to drink her tea, "Is there any pie for desert?""
|The door chimes, and a woman in a white-gray lab coat wanders inside, looking about with mild caution, as though there were a very small percentage chance raiders might be inside. Tucking a bit of red hair behind her ear, with two arched bangs and the rest pulled into a ponytail, she glances about from behind a pair of glasses. "...Hello? I was told I could buy food here?"
|Alasa hmms, and looks over as she says.."Apple, two slice...Hello..well it is a diner, and they make food here....so, I'd say yes..you could buy it..."
| There's a rumble in the earth like giants snoring under the stones; shake, shake, rattle the glasses, and thereupon manifests Ashur on the threshold, great head bowed beneath the door's frame. The toga-clad Herakles stalks forth and in his hand he bears a bloodied satchel like a torch -- drip, drip, the blood soaks through the fabric, and the burlap clings like a wet veil to the outlined impression of some wasteland creature, bulbous and oddly angular.
The Legionnaire shoves past patron and table alike, and slows only when he's at the register, slamming a palm on the scored wood in thunderous clap. "Winston!" He bellows, calling for the balding, six-fingered cook that works at this time. "I slew the damn two-headed roach, now deliver the recipe for the glaze, as you promised."
|Valerie rubs the back of her neck awkwardly as she stands there. "Well, yes, of course..." Clearing her throat lightly, the lady scientist glances off to the side, about to say someething else when suddenly the earth...shakes? Her eyes widening, Val looks down at her feet and about at rattling cups and plates before the door is thrown open.
Turning about, Val plants her hands on her hips, frowning, "Oh, it's you again." Hmph. But her eyes track to the sacked carcass, and the curvy redhead blinks, tilting her head. "Two-handed radroach? That's new. They are normally quite resistant to wildly divergent mutation."
|Alasa looks over as Ashur comes into the diner with his delievery. "Well, now thats an insteresting trade.." As she takes another drink of her tea. Then looks back to Valerie..."Course, as you can see..the food here is fresh. Good..well, for that you'll have to decide on your own." She smiles a bit, then turns back to the counter. "Glaze?...what kind of glaze are we talking about."
| Off in the back room, Winston, apron grease-stained and his thinning hair plastered by sweat to a sunburnt brow, labors at the butchering of this morning's capture -- the diner has some deals with a few local trappers, mostly from Shantytown, who bring in fresh meat for spare caps. Through the closed door, and over the pop and sizzle of his tools, he doesn't hear Ashur's summon.
That fact makes the brute's eyebrows furrow, a deep wrinkled V between them. "Deaf bastard," he grunts, hooking an ankle around a stool and tugging it behind him. It groans in protest when he settles upon it, not made for someone of his weight; no sudden moves, lest a branch-thin leg snap.
"He has a tangy sauce he grills the juicier roaches with," Ashur explains, looking to Alasa. "One of my brides craves it; he said it is made of blood, shredded herbs, and a hint of 'something special', but refused all other details unless I avenged his mongrel."
A shake of the satchel.
"The poor dog."
The voluptuous redhead's hmph is noted, and Ashur gives her a long look. "It is the first I've ever seen."
|Valerie makes a face at the description of the glaze, looking a little grossed out... But she snaps back to an attentive stare at the sack, "You don't say... If only I had a biology kit and a microscope to study it... Maybe a gene sequencer from the..." Her voice trails off and she looks aside. "From..elsewhere." Sigh.
But she shrugs and folds her arms under her chest, looking up at Ashur, "And.../wives/? You have a -harem-? The Legion is truly very strange."
|Alasa mmms, "That does sound tastey..I may have to order that, the next time I come. Though most cooks are like that..think somehow if they keep it a secret, no one can copy it...like this thing." As she pulls out a piece of paper, "PArt of some secred receipe for nuka cola. Silly...but I tell you what, they pay good for it. Second one thats come through my fingers." She smiles and looks at Val, "Still the food here is rather decent..least compared to what I normally eat out in the wastes...you should grab a stoool and order something. But don't worry about the harem, if you do join it..I understand it has a roatating door so you can leave if you want."
| "The Legion does not take wives," Ashur remarks, letting the bloodied sack fall to the dusty floor with a wet plop. The top of it tips over and collapses in a pile of fabric, but nothing spills out. "A soldier breeds what woman he takes as slave or trophy in a battle, and any whelp sired is delivered unto the priestesses to be reared. To wed is to love, and honor abiding affection."
The big man raps his middle knuckles along the bar, casting his regard to the closed swing-door leading to the kitchens. "Winston!"
A beat, and nothing, and Ashur actually rolls his eyes with a sigh. He opts now to preoccupy himself with conversation, given his mission has encountered a minor setback -- but both the women's words make him snort like a bull. "I take many women to bed, but few become brides. Only those in which the seed takes. Cunt is for entertainment otherwise. Surely you've both had your fair share of cowboys and tribals."
|"Well, no, now that you mention it..." Val notes with a bit of affronted disdain in response to Ashur's comment. But her hips swing the other way and she turns her gaze sidelong toward the counter, with its stools. "Mm...I suppose it can't be any worse than 200 year old Salisbury Steak." Wandering over with a lazy sway of her labcoat, she slides onto a stool, waiting patiently for a server to appear. She sits very primly, clearly expecting someone to be *right* with her. She tilts her head, cocks it aside, glances about every few seconds, still very certain someone will come to take her order.
|Alasa looks at Ashur, "Is that like the phrase....save a horse, ride a cowboy?..Thats a song on my jukebox..really an oldie..kinda a moldie..." She laughs to herself, the looks to Val. "If you want something really good, I got Cherokee Dream tea...make it the traditional way...they provide the water, I bring my own tea bags...quite good...guarnatees a good nights sleep."
| Finally, someone walks out of the back room. Ashur hears it before he sees it and lifts his head, a flash of hope in golden eyes -- and then he is crestfallen when it just so happens to be one of the pretty young girls who takes orders and delivers food. Might even be Winston's daughter, or so suggests a stirring of faint memory.
She's in an off-white bandeau and a ratty skirt, and she hops on over with a deliberate shake of her hips, kneeling over the counter and smacking her lips. The joys of being told to 'flirt more' to bring in customers.
"Hey there, handsome, bet you got an appetite. Whatcha want?"
The flutter of her eyelashes is so over-the-top and clumsy not even Ashur can be drawn by it. He ughs and waves a hand toward Valerie. "Tend to her, servant. She hungers; I desire the portly cook. Tell him to get out here with that damned recipe!"
His voice climbs to an agitated growl, and the waitress backs off in a hurry, sliding down toward Valerie. A few other locals give Ashur quiet looks.
"Eheheh, so what is it you want, sugar? We got a special going, deep-fried gecko with a sweet 'n' sour Nuka Cola sauce, best in El Dorado!"
Ashur stares openly at the exchange, then his gaze drops to Val's chest, and then he looks at Alasa. "What is Cherokee?"
|Valerie blinks in surprise at the offering, "That sounds...very edible. Yes, I'll have the fried gecko, thank you. And, um... Water." Glancing back over to Ashur and Alasa, Val blinks again, this time at Ashur's staring at her chest, and Val's eyelids fall half-closed, looking unamused. "Eyes are up here, Ranger." She motions with a level hand at the upper half of her face. But to Alasa, she asks curiously, "But...if all they provide is water, what good does that do me if I don't have any Cherokee tea bags?"
|Alasa hmms, and looks at Val's chest, "I's?...no, I don't think so, maybe double D's..but no way those are I's." She smiles, turning back to Ashur..."My people are the Cherokee. We've lived in these lands for more centuries then I could count." As she pulls a tea bag out of he glass. "Well I was going to let you use mine...but I guess I didn't make it clear."
| With a nod and an mm, the serving girl -- Rose, though no one cared to ask -- turns on a heel and sashays back through the swing door. "Daaaaddy," she calls, confirming Ashur's paternal suspicions, "we got one order of the gecko special, and that Legion asshole's got your stupid roach in a bag, so go give it to him before he breaks something." Her voice is faintly audible from the kitchen, at least to the three at the counter - funny how the sweet demeanor drops the moment she's out of sight.
Valerie's chastisement earns her a self-amused glance, and Ashur reaches over to muss her hair. "But your tits are down there," he reminds her, rather pointedly speaking to them, not her. Asshole, indeed.
As for Cherokees? He huhs, and raises one almost-bared shoulder, the muscle flexing in the light. It catches a splatter of bug blood staining his skin. "Tribals, then. I have not heard of them before; I know the local tribes were the Cowboys and the.. Sand Vipers, south. And near New Rome, the Wild Children dwell."
|The redhead looks utterly baffled at what Alasa says, "Double-Ds? Pardon?" She does have to supress a sudden, delighted giggle at Rose's appraisal of Ashur, and she's looking quite amused when her hair is suddenly messed up, snapping her eyes open and ducking away with a light bounce of her heavily-scrutinized rack. "You could at least *pretend* to be interested in something other than the twins, Ranger." Frowning and folding her arms under her breasts, she looks at once annoyed and a little embarrassed.
|Alasa says, "oh, wow...twins..shes got kids already. Best pass on this one big guy." As she stands up, and places some money on the counter. "Well, time for me to get back to work. Enjoy you meals...till next time," She gives a wave to the two of them, and heads out."

Discovering the Relevance of Words
Sometimes, when I'm trying to write fiction, it helps to try and think like the character I'm writing. It can be helpful, for me, to let my mind drift off while I do mundane tasks and allow it to try and wrap itself around the experience of being a different person. A person I invented.
I only tell you all of this so that when I say to you that one of the characters inside my head said something interesting this morning, as I am about to do, you won't be quite so quick to declare me mentally incompetent. I was thinking about a story and what a certain protagonist might say in a given situation when I heard him talk. I don't remember the exact words, but it was something to the effect of,
"I'm just trying to do one thing today that might warrant a mention in an unauthorized biography."
I was pouring coffee at the time. I can still feel the spot on my finger where hot coffee overflowed my mug and burned it. I was pretty impressed. I don't know if he (I) made that up or heard it somewhere, but I found myself liking that sentiment a lot.
Everyone is a writer. Everyday we all write our own lives with everything we do. It helps to keep this in mind, I think. Especially with this impulse to record everything in life that seems so prevalent recently. What use is a record if the subject matter is boring?
"The first and last story anyone tells is their own."
That one came from a character inside my head too, but I don't listen to that character. I KNOW he's crazy.
What will you do today that someone else might fondly recall years from now while recording for an oral history of your life? It doesn't have to be major, just noteworthy enough to remember. A lifetime of those will make for a helluva good story.

Americans value freedom but it is slipping away. Why is this?
It really boils down to a couple key reasons that are hand in glove:
1) The Abandonment of Lex Rex (The Law is King) in Exchange for Rex Lex (The King is Law)
2) The Redefinition of Freedom from Freedom to Will in Exchange for Freedom from Will
Let's break the two down and then understand how they are linked.
Lex Rex is the legal philosophy which implies that no one is above the law, including the king or anyone else he might grant special favors to in exchange for loyalty. Though we do not have an official monarchy, we have evolved into a society with a distinct ruling political class that has exempted itself and its respective allies from the laws applied to the common man.
The free market is being crippled because as Rex Lex, the King is Law, has become the dominant philosophy today, business is far more inclined to cozy up with the ruling tyrannical political class than to compete in the market place. Not only is their fear of the political class amongst business, but wealth is also more easily accumulated this way. Why compete when you can get the political class to ruin your competitive via slander, taxation, and a mountain of regulations–all of which you have paid the political class to exempt you from.
The commercial free market is just one example. This has also spilled over into the freedom of ideas, education, weapons, privacy, and religious freedom.
Therein lies the second part: Freedom.
The very definition of freedom has transformed from the time of the American Revolution. It was once Freedom to Will or that is to say Freedom to make my own way as I desire irrespective of the whims of a dominant political class. That has now devolved and been exchanged for Freedom to Be Willed.
What I mean by that is the deliberate handing over of personal responsibility and the ability to chart one's own path by giving it over to someone else to Will For me as the ruler sees fit. In exchange for the precious ability to chart one's own course, one has now surrendered all of that for what the king has promised to give me: social programs, censorship of my enemy's ideas, censorship of my religious foes, absolute protection, special tax favors, the education of my children, the punishment of those who disagree with me, etc.
All appears well in Paradise until who the King is and what he wants changes. After Freedom To Will has been surrendered or just handed over, it is extremely difficult to reclaim. It's like giving a child candy. Once it is in their hands, the child will fight you if you try to take it back.
Does this sound familiar? It should.
Ancient Israel rejected limited self government under the grace and mercy of The Perfect Lawgiver and gave all of that over to a mere sinful fallen man. All of the prophetic utterances by Samuel from The LORD came to pass as the kings grasped power and subjugated the people.
Where will we go?
Thankfully, all of our Freedom To Will has not been eroded, and some states have more than others. After much political fighting, Georgia is one of the least Homeschooling restrictive states, which is one reason we still reside here. (In the metro area, Cherokee County is generally more conducive to Homesteading by the way). I encourage everyone to take advantage of this to train your children in the fear and admonition of the Lord. Let us exhaust all means of grace to cultivate a Biblical worldview in our children as they then go out as adults to exercise good stewardship of their time and resources while also preserving freedom for them and their children.
What will you do with your freedom?
