Mother & Friends Speaks Out On Charlotte Police Standoff Victim's Death
Posted by Low The CEO on Wednesday, December 14, 2016 · Leave a Comment
The mother and friends of Charlotte police standoff victim spoke out on his death during a candle light vigil Tuesday night.
Follow @urbanstreetz
Charlotte Uprising and Students for a Democratic Society were the two local organizations responsible for holding the candle light vigil. Timothy Davis, an 18-year-old black man and recent high school graduate died Tuesday morning during a standoff with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police SWAT Team. CMPD claim Davis shot and killed himself as they attempted to arrest him for assault and robbery charges.
Lit candles trailed down the sidewalks on both sides of the street leading to Tim's house. As I got out of my car and stood in the street of that quiet middle class neighborhood I couldn't help but think about how it really doesn't matter… It does not matter what neighborhood, what town or city in this country; when black men have encounters with police they tend to end up dead. I also noticed the fact that the victims regardless of the crimes they've been accused of committing have families and friends who care a lot about them. That fact was evident due to the huge crowd of friends, family, and neighbors who stood together in the cold drizzling rain in front of the house where Tim's life ended.
It was around 9:24 p.m. when I made my way to the crowd of people holding candles in a huge circle. All of his friends spoke of how they could not believe that he was dead and that they did not believe that he took his own life.
Watch my interview with Tim's friend Nehemiah Wright below:
Tim's mother eventually came outside and spoke with everyone. She expressed her appreciation for all who came out to show their love for her son. When asked she also stated that she didn't believe that her son committed suicide.
Watch Tim's mother speak below:
Later on Tim's mother asked a few supporters including myself to view the scene where her son lost his life. She was not able to handle viewing the scene but she needed someone else to view it. Now you too can view the aftermath of what a police standoff involving a black man looks like.
As you can see from the image above its not cool. There's the larger centralized bloodstain, along with bloody dog prints [from the police dog] and a long smeared bloodstain which seem to indicate the police dog or police officers drug Tim's body. The scene definitely generates many more unanswered questions for me. I would love to understand why the money was displayed in that manner.
Ms. Davis told me that Timothy was shot in the face. The police claimed that they heard a thud and they did not receive a response from Timothy for some time before they found his body. If all of that information is true then there should have been a larger pool of blood.
As the night wore on the crowd slowly dissipated and there were only a few friends still standing around talking. I drove off looking back at the small group in my rearview mirror. I wondered what will it take to prevent situations like this from constantly occurring? And what can we do different because what's being done currently isn't working.

Utopian Trade Union for the Unemployed No. 2
We think that art should help people.
If you've been fired from your job and you're in despair,
The ballerinas of the Vaganova Academy are willing to give you a helping hand,
And even a foot, and they'll even give you their hearts.
The monstrous alienation that exists among people will be overcome.
There can be no doubt about this.
The way we move our bodies, like how we feel, can be transformed.
When you're suspended between spaces,
When you're stuck between stable structures,
Then your condition is revolutionary!
Reinvent yourself!

ZOO/ Video /
Zoo is the film largely focused on the concept of female solidarity.
According to our survey in collaboration with sociologists from Undependent institute of sociological research and Smolnii university /st-Petersburg ,female friendship poorely compares with male brotherhood.
Why is this happening? Answering this question can take a lifetime.
The research preceded the film. We created the situation of temporary club called «Laments about men». We have written our scenario based on listening to a number of stories. One of the women represents a wide-spread symptom of a «manlike woman», a female, whose conscience is constructed by patriarchal dominating attitudes. She is successful in her career, but pathologically unhappy in her lovelife. The other heroine represents conservative female position. She is all pity and she is unusually passive in her actions. Both women are wrong. They are the victims of the system and will continue being unfree untill they realize their symptom and strart acting.

Considerations to be Made When Choosing the Best Beauty Products to Use.
Beauty is a large perspective of people and significantly affects them all. Beauty is crucial when it comes to women since they are always willing to sacrifice the greatest part of their earnings in order to try and acquire it. No woman would want to be left out when it comes to the struggle to achieve this great desire amongst them and will hence run in the competition with their fellow women to try and reach the standard level.
For this beauty desire to become a reality in one's life there must be a systematic route through which to follow in order to see that this goal is achieved. This can be achieved by a various range of considerations which are very vital for one to make this that they should keenly be done.
Self-awareness is a great factor which should be considered and taken care of for one to be able to proceed here. People vary in opinion and also perception and hence there is no given definition of what is beautiful but it substantially lies on the individual. Being able to have own esteem and to believe in your own beauty is a major step through which one has to have grown even before they look at others around them.
Short Course on Products – Getting to Square 1
There is need for one to be able to make the personal decision of what they think is right for them and what they prefer used on their skins. There are professionals in the line of beauty who will come in handy to guide one on the best beauty products to use. This is important because the different products will work differently on different skins. The appearance of the skin is different with different people. Knowing the group to which one belongs helps them to stick to the group that ought to be theirs without messing up their faces and skins.
Why not learn more about Gadgets?
It is important for one to have the proper economic preparedness in order to be sure that they are in a position to handle the beauty process without much strain. The process of beauty cannot be termed as cheap since there are steps that will require being done time and again. This makes it possible to have the quality maintained and also the level of these procedures.
It is vital that one should be informed o the product and has information about them. The fact that most products today are corrupt make this factor a major requirement. It is thus necessary that one should be aware of all the effects of a commodity before they use it in order to protect themselves from the impact of diseases such as cancer which has become known to be caused by the utilization of these beauty products.

Everyone has heard of value based design. Value based design is getting the best bang for your buck. Where is your money best spent? What is the cost vs the value? We always have that conversation with clients but another conversation we always have is one around their personal VALUES. The rules, habits and behaviours we follow in our daily lives have an impact on the things we use. Part of our process is to really get to know our clients and discover how to design for their lifestyle and most importantly – their values.
We're sharing a few tips on things to consider when designing around your values:
Tip #1: Make a list
We love lists. You should too. Make a list of your values and determine your top 5. Not sure what you value? This list can help you get started. A lot of financial advisors will advise you to invest in what you value when choosing stocks for your portfolio. This is sort of the same idea.
Tip #2: Put Your Money Where Your Time Is
Do you like to read a book in the tub? Are you an avid gardener? Do you love to cook? Think about where you like to spend your time and invest your heard earned money there. A free standing tub may look beautiful in an ensuite but if you don't like to relax in a bath at the end of the day – why bother adding that to your budget? Build a larger shower with a few bells and whistles that you can enjoy every morning!
Tip #3: Don't Ask Your Friends
So often we meet clients who got an idea from a friend of theirs who saw something on TV. If that idea relates to your values – great! Let's implement it into the design! But if not, why would we spend your money on it? Friends and family are great for referrals but just because someone did something in their home, doesn't mean it works for you. In floor heating in a bathroom may be a dream to one person but a nightmare for someone else going through menopause!
Tip #4: Always Put Value on Resale
We ALWAYS consider resale when designing a renovation or new build. Even if you think you may live there forever, at some point the house will have to be sold. This doesn't mean we compromise on customizing a design for you, it just means that we always have resale in the back of our minds when we're designing a floor plan or making finish selections. For example, having consistent finishes throughout a home is more resale friendly than having every single room in the house assigned a different aesthetic.

Diego Lugano, who captained Uruguay to a memorable semi-final appearance at the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa, has announced his retirement to bring down the curtain on a glittering 19-year playing career.
A stoic but athletic centre-back, Lugano enjoyed a fruitful decade-long career for La Celeste, which ended in 2014.
Lugano debuted during the unsuccessful qualifiers for the 2006 World Cup, before appearing on the world stage in 2010 as Uruguay finished fourth, and he also represented his nation four years later in Brazil.
Lugano earned 95 caps, winning the Copa America in 2011, and featuring at the FIFA Confederations Cup Brazil 2013.
Now 37, Lugano has accepted on off-field role at Sao Paulo, the club where he concluded his playing career.

Cartridge Type
|Genuine or OEM (Original) Cartridges
|Remanufactured Cartridges
|Compatible Cartridges
|OEM stands for original equipment manufacturer, meaning the cartridge was made by the same company that made your printer. Original brand cartridges are very reliable and sometimes the only option if your printer is new to market or uncommon.
|Remanufactured ink is a genuine brand cartridge that has gone through one cycle of use. After use, the cartridge is recycled, acquired by a remanufacturing facility and put through a rigorous professional refurbishing process. During the refurbishing process the cartridge is disassembled, thoroughly cleaned and tested for quality. It's then carefully refilled, tested again and brought back to life. Buying remanufactured prevents one less cartridge from ending up in a landfill.
|A compatible cartridge is a brand new ink cartridge built by a manufacturer other than your printer. It's like buying the generic version of the genuine brand. Most are uniquely designed to differentiate from genuine cartridges. Despite any structural difference you may notice, the cartridge will still fit in your machine and print a full yield, just like the original brand.
|Price Factors
|Many printer manufacturers follow the razor-and-blades business model which may result in higher priced genuine cartridges.
|Remanufactured ink is much cheaper than the original brand ink. It's far more cost effective to refurbish a previously used cartridge than create a new OEM from scratch.
|Compatible ink is much cheaper than the original brand. Compatible suppliers don't have to worry about the additional costs that hinder OEMs like new printers or firmware, which lets them keep prices low.
|Original cartridges work extremely well and are covered under a warranty by the printer manufacturer
|High quality remanufactured ink will match the quality of the original, but not all remanufactured ink is created equal. Make sure you buy from a reputable supplier in order to get the absolute best results.
|High quality compatible ink will match the quality of the original, but not all compatible ink is created equal. Make sure you buy from a reputable supplier in order to get the absolute best results.
What's the difference between ink and toner cartridges?
|Ink Cartridges
|Toner Cartridges
|Printer Type
|Work with inkjet printers
|Work with laser printers
|Liquid ink
|Dry powder
|How it works
|Inkjet printers use a series of nozzles that spray tiny drops of ink directly on the print suface
|Laser toner printers use static electricity and heat to bond dry toner powder to a page
|Commonly used by
|Casual home users, small business and photographers
|Large businesses and schools
|Number of Pages You Can Print
|A cartridge's page yield is the estimated number of pages you can print. Page yield is based on 5% page coverage. This means that the quoted page yield is based upon printed pages where only 5% of the page has been imprinted with ink. For example, a short memo has approximately 5% coverage. If you have a cartridge that has a yield of 500 pages, it can print 500 pages of that short memo. If you are printing letters, photos or graphics, your coverage will vary greatly and your page yield will drop significantly.
|Cartridge Warranty and Shelf Life
|Most ink and toner cartridges include a warranty or "best by" date on their box. Remanufactured and compatible ink cartridges can last 12-18 months unopened, and toner cartridges can last up to 3 years.
|Cartridge Care and Storage
|Only open a cartridge when you need it. Opened cartridges will eventually dry out, especially if the protective tape or clip has been removed. If you have an open ink cartridge around and would like to try and prevent it from drying out, place it nozzle side up in a plastic airtight tub. If your cartridge came with protective tape or a clip reapply both before storing. Place a damp cloth or paper towel in the tub, next to the cartridge and keep it stored in a cool, dark place.

The other day at work we were scanning competitor instagram accounts and an onslaught of selfie disapproval began. The word 'conceited' was used before I awkwardly announced I was a big fan of a selfie and everyone should stop being so judgemental. The conversation moved away and it got me thinking - women shouldn't be ashamed or made to feel narcissistic for taking selfies.
If I put together a great outfit that doesn't look like my usual binbag attire, I want to share it with my friends. If I actually look decent and put in the effort to use the £100 worth of makeup sat in my bag, then by God I am going to document the shit out of it.
The thing about social media is people have the ability to send out a representation of themselves as they want to be seen. Sometimes it can get a bit fake, but if me taking a photo of myself in a mirror when I think I look nice to share with my friends so they know that I'm not a fucking slob, (contrary to what their eyes would inform them every time they come to my house and I greet them with a face-full of spots, hair in a bun and wearing a tracksuit) makes me conceited, then fine - I know which representation I want to be pushing!
We should all learn to love ourselves a little more, and since when did liking your face enough to document it become a terrible thing? I don't like my face 99% of the time. Nobody does. Everyone has days where they feel self conscious, and want to hide under the duvet because their skin is saggy AF. (Or is that just my oriental genes? I don't know. I just know my skin gets really saggy some days.)
So on the days when you feel you look like a rockstar, take a pic, and share it. Because girls like me will see it and double tap it, because I like the fact you're unashamedly selfie-ing. You do your thing boo, love yourself and never be ashamed.
GTG now, gonna go take a selfie!

Secret - Circumnavigate
Our next featured artists are a very good London based Anglo-Norwegian five-piece band called Circumnavigate. With Scandinavian folk and jazz infused pop these multi-instrumentalists are at the top of their game. The band are Sigrid (Vocals), Carl Frederik (Piano/Guitar), Ross (Drums/Percussion) and Charlie (Bass). Our LCM #TrackOfTheDay is a live version of 'Secret' taken from a recent Croft Session. The band are working on a new debut album which should be out later this year.
The band is influenced by a range of different artists and styles of music, and they often find it hard to describe what or who they sound like. The jazzy trumpet pulls them in one direction; the haunting vocals or folky guitars in other ones. The name 'Circumnavigate' then makes a lot of sense, as they try to circumnavigate the traditional musical genres and create something unique. That...and they looked through a dictionary many years ago in the hopes of finding a cool name!

Australia-based Virgin Blue Group of Airlines launched its inaugural V Australia flight to Abu Dhabi, becoming the first Australian carrier to operate to the Middle East in 20 years.
Arriving at Abu Dhabi International Airport at 11.40pm GST last night, the Sydney-Abu Dhabi service included Virgin Blue Group CEO and Managing Director John Borghetti and Etihad Airways CEO James Hogan, along with the Australian Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, Mr Doug Trappett, and Virgin Blue Group's new ambassador and one of the world's most successful swimmers, Ian Thorpe, who has come to Abu Dhabi to continue training for the 2012 Olympic trials.
The V Australia and Etihad delegations were welcomed by Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC) CEO, James E. Bennett and the Senior Vice President of Airports Operations at ADAC Ahmad Al Haddabi, along with senior representatives from the airport and the home carrier.
The new V Australia Abu Dhabi service is a key part of the partnership between Virgin Blue Group of Airlines and Etihad Airways which will see the airlines offer a total of 27 weekly services between Abu Dhabi and Australia – including double-daily services between Abu Dhabi and Sydney, daily Melbourne-Abu Dhabi flights and six frequencies per week between Abu Dhabi and Brisbane.
Etihad Airways Chief Executive Officer James Hogan said: "V Australia is the first Australian airline ever to serve the United Arab Emirates. That is no small matter, and is certainly a reflection of the growing strength and relevance of the Australia-UAE relationship.
"In partnering with Virgin Blue, Etihad is supporting the Government of Abu Dhabi's vision for the emirate by generating stronger inbound business and leisure traffic flows.
"Equally, the increased capacity into Australia will help us in achieving greater commercial scale, driving higher loads and yields on the African, European and Middle Eastern side of our network."
Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) James E. Bennett stated: "ADAC is pleased to welcome V Australia to its airlines' portfolio as the first new addition for 2011 at Abu Dhabi International Airport. V Australia is recognised for its high quality service, in line with the levels of service we promise our travellers at Abu Dhabi International Airport."
V Australia will operate three Sydney-Abu Dhabi services per week from February 2011 and three Brisbane-Abu Dhabi services per week by February 2012, using its new fleet of three-class economically and environmentally efficient Boeing 777-300ERs. VA29 will fly from Sydney to Abu Dhabi on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, departing at 4.05pm and VA30 will fly from Abu Dhabi to Sydney on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, departing at 10.45am.
Virgin Blue Group's partnership with Etihad Airways delivers a combined global network of more than 150 destinations worldwide. This partnership is a key part of Virgin Blue Group's plans to build an international network of airline partners that can provide global coverage along with frequent flyer earn and redemption capabilities to benefit guests.

Convergence of Routing Tables
Related Entries Web Links New/Updated Information
Note: Many topics at this site are reduced versions of the text in "The Encyclopedia of Networking and Telecommunications." Search results will not be as extensive as a search of the book's CD-ROM.
In a packet-switched, mesh topology network (with the Internet being one of the biggest), networks are joined by routers, and routers keep track of routes to different parts of the network. Routers hold routing tables that indicate the best route to a particular location. These routing tables are created dynamically by obtaining neighbor and route information from other routers. Routers must be constantly updated to changes in the network topology. Routes may be added or removed, or routes may fail due to a break in the physical link.
Convergence is part of the routing table update process. When a link fails or changes, updates are sent across the network that describe changes in the network topology. Each router then runs a routing algorithm to recompute routes and build new routing tables based on this information. Once all the routers in the network have updated their routing tables, convergence is complete.
Convergence is a dynamic routing process as opposed to static routing. In static routing, an operator programs routes into routers. Static routing is appropriate for small networks or when dedicated links exist between networks.

Michelle Obama- Never Say Never To Botox
Michelle Obama, who turned 50 over the weekend, isn't ruling out using plastic surgery or Botox in the future.
"Women should have the freedom to do whatever they need to do to feel good about themselves," the first lady told People magazine in an interview hitting newsstands Friday, her birthday. "Right now, I don't imagine that I would go that route, but I've also learned to never say never."
Her message to women is to be healthy. Mrs. Obama says she has never missed a health checkup, including mammograms and Pap smears. She's also had a colonoscopy.
"I don't obsess about what I eat, but I do make sure that I'm eating vegetables and fruit," added Mrs. Obama. "And as everyone knows, I do exercise." Her "Let's Move" campaign to reduce childhood obesity rates through the combination of exercise and healthier eating enters its fifth year next month.
Her workouts have also evolved from weight-bearing and cardio exercises to include things like yoga that she says will help keep her flexible.
Asked whether she has peaked at 50, Mrs. Obama joked that being first lady is "pretty high up." She said she's always felt that her life is "ever-evolving" and she doesn't have the right to "just sit on my talents or blessings."
"I've got to keep figuring out ways to have an impact, whether as a mother or as a professional or as a mentor to other kids," the first lady said, noting that daughter Malia, now 15, will be in college when she and President Barack Obama leave the White House in January 2017. Daughter Sasha, 12, won't be far behind.
"At that point in life, whoa, the sky is the limit," Mrs. Obama said.
Despite her nonchalance about her upcoming milestone, Mrs. Obama noted that some things can still make her feel older. "Well, there are those times when your staff tell you they were born the year you were graduating from college. It's like, really? Really? That hurts," she said, laughing. "But I don't feel that much differently than I did when I was younger."
President Obama told People that he's "always in awe" of his wife as she approaches her 50th birthday.
"Michelle is actually more beautiful now than when I met her," he said. "And I think she's wiser."
Beyonce and Stevie Wonder rocked the White House at a star-studded, late-night dance party celebrating first lady Michelle Obama's 50th birthday, which was planned by Barack Obama.
At 50, she's got some of the most envied arms, a killer wardrobe, and quite the social life. Happy 50th Birthday, Michelle Obama!

Who doesn't like to save money? As a home owner I certainly look where I can to minimize my expenses without compromising quality. When it comes to roofs the old adage stands true that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. First start by choosing better quality shingles which will add minimal extra cost if you are already planning on changing your roof. Understand that the biggest part of overall roofing costs isn't the shingles themselves but rather the removing, disposing and re-installation. So shop around and compare.
Secondly, extend the period between re-shingling jobs which is by far the most profitable roof management strategy you can apply. A cost saving approach to roof maintenance is the use of Elastomeric Roof Coating which is a Canadian made product by Quebec-based Techni-Seal. It is part of a two-part cost-saving approach to roof management that can save you hundreds of dollars while also reducing some strain on landfill sites.
Elastomeric is applied over tired shingles to extend their working life. It also comes in six colours plus a clear and it rolls on like thick paint. And when you apply at least two coats you get a seven-year manufacturer's warranty.
Like a liquid balloon substance it stabilizes surface granules on the shingles, while sealing shingles down that have begun to curl upwards. As the product is formulated to be micro-porous it allows water vapour to escace upward during dry season and yet is water repellent. The coating does not peel but slowly wears off as it ages so there is no chance of clogging eavestrough.
Successful home maintenance is really about attending to the details, and this fact applies to roof surfaces, too. Even on an area typically turned entirely over to the professionals, diligence and care puts savings in your pocket.

The Petroleum Marketers and Convenience Stores of Iowa (PMCI) is asking Iowa's legislators to implement a grant program to replace aging underground gas and diesel storage tanks. Many tanks are approaching or exceeding their life of 25-30 years and, over time, can become susceptible to leaks and other environmental hazards, says Dawn Carlson, president, PMCI, which represents more than 2,000 business locations in Iowa. Storage tanks currently in place were not designed for higher level ethanol blends so installation of new tanks could enable retailers to offer higher blends in the future, Carlson adds.
Since 2006, Iowa has offered grants to fuel retailers who offer E85 to consumers. These grants are cost-share agreements with 50% of the project eligible for funding up to $50,000, whichever is less, Carlson says. "Retailers are required to submit a grant application with a proposal outlining their project. Eligibility is dependent upon the type of biofuel that is detailed in the grant application. For ethanol, a retailer would agree to dispense E85 for a period of five years. For biodiesel, a retailer would agree to dispense a minimum biodiesel blend of B2 for five years," she explains.
"By simply extending the one cent/gallon Environmental Protection Charge (EPC) already collected at the dispenser, lawmakers could finish funding the cleanup of petroleum-contaminated sites and launch this new infrastructure grant program with no impact to the State Budget," Carlson says. "A cost share program administered by the Underground Storage Tank Cleanup Fund Board would assist owners in replacing aged infrastructure with alternative fuel compatible infrastructure that will protect the environment and help advance biofuels.
"If the legislature approves the request, we anticipate that virtually all of our members will install equipment that is listed by an independent testing laboratory as compatible with higher blends of ethanol," Carlson says.
More than 100 PMCI member locations currently offer ethanol-blended gasoline above the typical E10. "It's difficult to place an exact figure on how many more members may choose to offer higher ethanol blends through the use of this program. However, with infrastructure being one of the primary hurdles to the sale of higher ethanol blends, we anticipate that this legislation would be a very significant step towards allowing more retailers to make the decision to sell higher blends of ethanol," Carlson says.
Carlson adds, "If the grant program is expanded, Iowa may be able to show other states a successful road map toward addressing the infrastructure barrier that exists for higher blends of ethanol with existing retail infrastructure."

During the Halloween season, the city of New York changes. Besides the typical decorations (on the streets, houses, and stores), the trees start getting the colors of the fall: Red, brown, orange, and yellow tones. It's so beautiful! The autumn is coming, and with it, a very exciting event, the Halloween. The official date is October 31, but the "magic" starts way before that, the festivities take place during the whole month.
Take a look at my top 10 things to do in NYC during Halloween
1. Walk through the streets of Manhattan and surrounds: Big part of the New Yorkers get into the Halloween vibe decorating the front of their townhouses, and some of them take the task very seriously. It's nice to walk around the streets checking out the decorations. If you want to see even more elaborated Halloween decorations, Brooklyn is a good place to go. The closer to the suburbs, the scarier and more extravagant it gets.
2. Take a look at the shop windows: The stores decorate their windows and start selling products related to the event during October. Decoration products, costumes, accessories or clothes with seasonal stamps dominate the stores. I like Urban Outfitters, they have some cool and creative products during the Halloween season.
3. Enjoy the thematic delights: Several coffee shops and restaurants during this time of the year add some seasonal delights to their menu. Starbucks, for example, serves pumpkin lattes and thematic cookies during the whole month. Be ready to find pumpkins everywhere, it's a true invasion.
4. Buy some costumes: Several costume shops only open their doors during October, they rent a space and transform it into a temporary store. These seasonal places are usually cheaper than the regular stores, and it's hard to buy only one costume. At the beginning of November, they disappear like magic; you'll only see them in the next year. But, not all the costume stores are temporary, one that I like is the New York Costumes, which is open all year long and super well decorated during the season.
5. Buy a lot of candy and save it for later: A great place to buy cheap candy during the season is… The pharmacy! The pharmacies sell big packages of candy during the month; it's hard to resist them. They disappear the day after Halloween. So, buy more for later in case you want to save money.
6. Carve a pumpkin: If you want to have the real Halloween experience as a whole, you have to carve a pumpkin. There are several events related to this activity around town during the season. Or, you can buy yours at the supermarket and give it a try.
7. Party! Party! Party!: Forget about the "Trick or Treat", leave that to the children in the suburbs, because the night of Halloween in the Big Apple belongs to the adults. You can enjoy Halloween before, during and after October 31, a lot of clubs host a thematic party. In general, all the famous clubs will have at least one of those parties at some point. Check out the official websites to choose the ones you want to attend and the dates.
8. Watch or participate in the official Halloween parade: The official parade happens on the night of October 31, a big part of the 6th Avenue is closed for the event. It's chaotic, super crowded, if you have claustrophobia then it's not the place for you. I got out of there as quickly as I decided to go at the first place. I saw a little bit of it (I tried, at least!), and then I went to a bar to enjoy the night.
9. Go to a few bars during Halloween night: The bars in the West Village (where the parade takes off), close to the Washington Square Park, are packed during Halloween night. Get in the area early to avoid the crowds, and test a few of them. All the bars will be very crowded after the parade, and some of them way before that. So, if you want to see the parade before, be aware that finding a place to drink later may be stressful. A big amount of people will be trying to do the same thing as you: Get a drink and have fun!
10. Walk through the West Village during the night of October 31: During the Halloween night, the streets get so alive, full of famous characters and monsters, especially in the West Village, where the parade starts. Just walking on the streets is already a fun activity, in case you don't have a special plan for the night.

They are the primary shoes that my kids wear so they get a LOT of use and have held up perfectly.
I LOVE these Arenn Umi Baby Shoes that Brady is wearing. How adorable are those?! Brady loves them too and they are the only shoes he will keep on his feet without complaint. I love that this color scheme matches most of his outfits too! They are perfect for him to learn to walk in as his confidence grows! He will be walking soon!
Danika is my little princess and loves all things girly. I know she will be wearing a lot of skirts this Summer so the Cora II is perfect for her.
These shoes will work for both dressier outfits and more casual outfits which makes them a great buy because she will get a ton of use out of them!
Carson prefers to wear the Arenn shoes like Brady because he loves to run around and thinks they are the most comfortable for playing in the yard. He also likes that he matches Brady 🙂
Aiden loves his Gallus style shoes! They are water friendly and dry quickly so they are perfect for all of his Summertime adventures! Check out Umi's entire line of Umi Splash shoes made of water friendly materials that are quick drying!

Anybody else waiting with bated breath for this? It's a huge amount of buildup for a fight everyone wants to see, but everything points to it being a short, lopsided fight one way or the other.
Personally I think Khabib is going to do exactly what he's done for his last 26 wins, grab onto Conor and just smother him, but Conor is Conor and could start, and finish landing before Khabib has the chance to do his thing.

Find YOUR Purpose: Evelyn's Secrets today Justin Bieber's secret
A couple of weeks ago, India had their eyes on Justin Bieber, who was performing in Mumbai for his Purpose Tour and while many were quick to jump on the bandwagon of criticism, I want to take a few minutes to really appreciate and shed light on the meaning behind Justin Bieber's album and tour.
Justin Bieber is a celebrity that everybody in the world has watched from a very young age. We've pretty much seen this guy grow up in front of our eyes and from my perspective, he's still growing and a new season of his journey has just begun. It really is inspiring to see someone so successful try and better himself all in front of the public eye and take the initiative to follow his own purpose and use his music to spread the message of hope. What's even more inspiring is that Justin Bieber has openly discussed how faith has brought clarity into his life and he's travelling day after day to perform for his fans and share his message of hope that everyone of us has a purpose! I meeean… besides dreamy looks, he has a pretty dreamy personality, too!
I am totally smitten by everyone who lives a purposeful life! I know many have been talking about his "crazy" list of requests before he came to India, like bringing in his own washing machine and having his room decorated in whites only… But I think we should cut him some slack here! This guy is traveling for months around the world to inspire people and the only place he gets to call his home is a hotel room. Why shouldn't he have it comfy? After all – He pays for it himself since it's HIS concert.
I've traveled quite a bit for work and there are times that all I can dream about is having my own bed with my own sheets, my own cook to prepare my favourite food, my puppy to snuggle me, or just my favourite coffee to sip on and feel like home. After almost 10 years of traveling I have finally made my home in Mumbai, and I wish I could take this beautiful house and my piano with me wherever I go. I can totally understand what it must be like to travel 6-9 months out of a year and have no sense of time, place, or home. Lucky for JB he has an entourage of about 100 people. And you know what they say… It takes a village to raise a boy! Let's be honest, we all need our village around to keep us sane.
Now what is that purpose that Justin Bieber is talking about on his tour? Like he, I also believe that we all have a purpose. In fact – that we all have the same purpose in life, which is to understand that we are created in love, so we are on this earth with the mission simply to love the ones around us.
Spread some love today! Here a little glimpse of what else happens on Justin's Purpose Tour besides the concert. No crazy partying, no trashing hotel rooms, just a little bit of love for everyone.
Yes, my heart just melted. We officially need more boys like Justin Bieber and Leonardo DiCaprio who want to make this world a better place, in their own ways! Come on boys! What do you think is the purpose of life? 🙂 Tell me here in the COMMENTS!

I really wanted to sleep in this morning! But no, DH was up with the birds because he's got a project on to paint the windows while my ILs are here - FIL is helping. He did bring my coffee to me in bed though. :)
Had a pleasant festive lunch with the rellies today. The children jumped in the pool there - it looked freezing. They also jumped in the spa too.. hee hee.
My MIL helped me by finishing off a skirt I've had cut out for ages while I prepped food to take to the lunch.
Once we were home again the men got on with more painting jobbies. They've almost done all the window prep on one side of the house.
Once again I feel like my fridge - waaaaay too full of food. Hoping tomorrow won't be quite so bad. Plus I do get some exercise tomorrow since I need to clean out the garden under our bedroom window. This involves me wrestling with my kaffir lime plant which has thorns on it 5cm long. Slightly nerve wracking.

Wonderfully Wet Watkins Glen State Park
Recently Ben and I visited with some of my relatives in the Village of Burdett, and we were able to do a lot during our visit even though we were there for less than 48 hours. Besides visiting with my family, going to Lodi Point State Park, Wagner Vineyards, The Crooked Rooster, and the Seneca Harbor Wine Center, my aunt and uncle took us to Watkins Glen State Park, which was pretty much the highlight of the trip.
As you can tell from past posts, Ben and I love hiking, so already this was right up our alley! Connecticut doesn't have any cool gorges like Watkins Glen, though, so this really was quite the treat. Watkins Glen State Park is the most famous of the Finger Lakes State Parks, and it's easy to see why: throughout the 1.5 mile path there is water flow that drops over 400 feet. Some flows over huge waterfalls, others just over the rocks. It is so cool too because you can see how the water has worn the rocks down over time. My aunt is a nature fanatic and was able to tell us a lots of cool fun facts! Over thousands of years, glaciers originating in Canada drifted down to the US to create these amazing gorges, and they also brought some nonindigenous plants and trees with them. It was also these same glaciers that created the 11 Finger Lakes! Interesting right?! We can't wait to get back up there and hike some other gorges in the area!
Starting at the top left- water dripping, top right – me drinking from a natural spring (cold and delicious), bottom left- water rushing through the rocks (you can see all the different layers the water has cut through throughout the years- cool!), bottom middle- my family standing on a bridge that was chiseled in the 1800s. At that time, the water poured down under the bridge to a flour and feed mill that was located right about where I stood to take the picture! Bottom right- one of the couple hundred feet tall waterfalls. The picture doesn't do it justice since the waterfall was so tall I wasn't able to get the whole thing in one picture!
Top left – Pic with Ben, my cousin Laura, and my Aunt Mary and Uncle Jim. Top Right – cool pic of the water. Bottom: Me and my uncle Jim behind the sign. (we both like taking pics of signs haha)
Me and Ben behind one of the waterfalls!

Hello all,
I own a Zoom R16. I'm also setting up a fresh home studio, in Linux, on my desktop (presently running KDE Mint "Rosa"). Furthermore, this is heavily based on (musical instrument) sample libraries.
I also intend to purchase a new laptop, come January 2018. The plan is to try out Fedora on that (perhaps with an exact copy of the desktop studio set-up included). This because of ongoing instability issues with Mint. In this case, my old regular laptop will then serve as a Windows 7 auxiliary for functionalities that Linux doesn't cover. Additional advantage of this approach, to my mind, is that the follow-up laptop may thus double as portable home studio.
In order to play musical instrument sample, an audio interface is required. One specifically designed for electric string instruments is available. The Zoom R16 has audio interface capacities as well. Yet the latter is where my difficulty lies.
The audio interface designed for electric string instruments specifically is working fine in Mint. On the desktop as well as on the current KDE Mint 17.3 laptop. It'll work fine in Fedora as well, I presume - although this is yet to be put to the test, obviously. But if it does indeed, it will all the more qualify the new laptop as bona fide portable audio studio.
Therefore, using R16's audio interface capabilities in conjunction with the desktop makes perfect sense, in the light of the above. However, KDE Mint "Rosa" fails to recognise R16. And although I haven't yet made my mind up as to replacing "Rosa" with Fedora, my hunch is that Fedora may not recognise R16 either. I have previously been advised, though, that R16 responds well to certain Mint kernels. Which ones I don't know, since I don't have that information near to hand. However, I suspect that something similar may play in Fedora. So if anybody knows to which Fedora kernel(s) R16 responds positively, please come forward.
jack o-trades
Question for R16 owners using Linux Mint and/or Fedora as well
Discuss the Zoom HD and R series. Please don't "post and run". Participate in the discussion. Thanks.

Hahaha! Ben wears onesies all the time and he still has little umbilical cord! That is the craziest thing I have ever heard of! Also at work I hate when the babies had button up outfits, but Ben wears those all the time too- its amazing how simple they are to get into for diaper changes when you don't have all those cords!!

yeah i imagine having a wireless baby is quite different when it comes to many things!!!

Ummmm, we have onsies and tshirts on babies all the time at work too. I have never heard such a thing and to my knowledge, we've never had an adverse effect of wearing a onsie with the umbilical cord still there. Weird.

Wow. You have a lot going on. I feel for you on the whole house issue. That has GOT to be frustrating. Praying for a quick, smooth home buying process.
As for the weirdo statement about the onesies...ummmmm...."WHAT?" Pretty much ridiculous. I've had three babies. Onesies = great idea. No onesie = not so great.
Yay for sewing machines! I taught myself how to sew four years ago and my boutique has taken off. Have fun with it!

love that nail polish! i got my nails done for the firs time since august and it felt amazing! I am praying for you and your husband during the house process. Brandon and I can definitely relate to y'all. I can't imagine being pregnant and trying to purchase a home and then hurry and put together a nursery, but I'm sure you will get it all together before that sweet baby arrives and it will be perfect :)

Meet The Characters From AMERICAN HORROR STORY: HOTEL - First Images Within!
Bringing you the best in Horror Movie News, and all things Horror.
Fans of AMERICAN HORROR STORY know that the successful formula for the show is that every season the cast is mostly made up of the some of the same actors only portraying different characters involved in different stories. Sprinkle in some new faces and another interesting thrill ride looks to be on the horizon. The upcoming fifth season titled AMERICAN HORROR STORY: HOTEL aims to take things to some even darker places.
EW has shared first look photos and new information on some of the new characters that will be staying at the Hotel this season which you will find down below.
The Countess (Lady Gaga)
"The owner of the titular Hotel Cortez, The Countess is a glamorous but deadly creature who sustains on a healthy diet of sex and blood — she kills with her very fashionable but very sharp chainmail glove. "She's extremely strong," explains Gaga. "She's been through so much. It's kind of impossible for anything to penetrate her."
Donovan (Matt Bomer)
"Gaga's lover of 20 years finds himself rebuffed when she meets similarly handsome male model Tristan. Says Bomer, "He's very interested in domesticity and sort of nesting and hunkering down and having her to himself every now and then, and that doesn't go over so well with her limitless hunger."
John Lowe (Wes Bentley)
"This LAPD detective moves into the Cortez in order to investigate a series of murders perpetrated by the Ten Commandments Killer, who arranges vicitms according to the biblical dictates. His family, including pediatrician wife Alex (Chloe Sevigny), get sucked into the Cortez' darkness. "He has a family he loves very much but that is sort of falling apart," says Bentley. "He struggles with a lot of things. It's clear most of what John struggles with is control."
Ramona Royale (Angela Bassett)
"A film star who used to have a romantic relationship with The Countess, Ramona teams up with Donovan to take revenge on The Countess. Says Bassett, "They are powerful women at opposite sides and at odds with one another, each believing that they're right."
Claudia (Naomi Campbell)
"Campbell plays a Vogue editor who decides to stay at the Cortez and ends up regretting it. "She's kind of outlandish," says Campbell. "She thinks she's indestructible and nothing's going to hurt her."
Iris (Kathy Bates)
"Donovan's mother works at the hotel so she can see her son on a daily basis, even though he deplores her. Says Bates, "Iris is overprotective with a capital O, especially now since her son is ill. She wants to be there every day to make sure he's all right, and she's very controlling that way."
Tristan (Finn Wittrock)
"This male model catches the eye of The Countess at a fashion show at the Cortez. "He's got an addictive personality," says Wittrock. "I think he's hypersexual also. It makes him a prime candidate for the Countess' charms and he is very willingly seduced and then turned by her."
James March (Evan Peters)
"Like other seasons, AHS: Hotel's time-frame bounces around, including flashbacks to the murderous Mr. March. "He's the builder and owner of the hotel from the 1930s, and he is unique," says Peters. "He's designed a hotel to cater to his specific needs, which tend toward the dark evil."
Gabriel (Max Greenfield)
"The New Girl star plays an addict who checks into the Cortez and has an unforgettable experience. "He's a Hollywood junkie," says Greenfield. "Originally, he had a job and was more preppy or business. And Ryan [Murphy] came back and was like, 'I think we should be more rock and roll.'
Hypodermic Sally (Sarah Paulson)
"Another junkie who lives at the Cortez, Sally is one of the more tragic figures found in the halls of the hotel. "She's selfish," says Paulson. "She will put a stiletto in your face if it means she can get what she needs. But she's also like a broken rag doll."
The full cast list is made up of Lady Gaga, Angela Bassett, Wes Bentley, Matt Bomer, Cheyenne Jackson, Chloe Sevigny, Kathy Bates, Sarah Paulson, Finn Wittrock, Emma Roberts, Max Greenfield, Evan Peters, Denis O'Hare, Lily Rabe, Naomi Campbell, Darren Criss, Helena Mattsson and Mädchen Amick.
AMERICAN HORROR STORY: HOTEL will air October 7th on FX.

The skin rashes that develop after taking probiotic supplements can indicate an allergic reaction. Since a skin rash is not a common side effect of taking probiotic supplements, a doctor must be consulted and the individual should stop using the product. It is important to note that probiotic supplements might contain dairy products that can trigger an allergic reaction if he/she has milk allergy.
In rare cases, the skin rash can indicate anaphylaxis which is a severe allergic reaction that is considered life-threatening. This severe reaction requires a shot of injectable epinephrine and immediate medical attention at the nearest hospital. Prior to taking probiotic supplements, a doctor must be consulted since these supplements might interact or disrupt with certain medications that the individual is currently taking.
What are probiotics?
Probiotics are basically the healthy bacteria or germs that mainly reside in the small intestines of humans and animals. Even though probiotics are not needed by the human body, they can help deal with diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome and vaginal yeast infections. The probiotic supplements have not been tested for potency or effectiveness.
Allergic reaction
The skin rashes that develop after taking probiotic supplements are most likely the results of an allergic reaction. One or more of the ingredients present in the supplements are not recognized by the immune system. As a result, the body reacts to the supplement by assaulting or attacking it with immunoglobulin E antibodies which trigger the production of histamine. The histamine will cause the dilation of the blood vessels in the body, thus increases the flow of blood as well as triggering the manifestation of the skin rashes and irritation.
Allergic skin rashes
The usual skin rashes that manifest from an allergic reaction include eczema, generalized inflammation and hives. The general inflammation can cause the skin to swell, turn red and itchy. Eczema is the rash that can develop after an allergic reaction that triggers the development of pimple-like lumps that are filled with fluid.
Once scratched, these bumps can ooze and crust over. As for hives, it is a usual symptom of allergic reaction that causes the development of welts on any part of the body. Take note that hives form in various sizes and shapes and usually come and go in just a matter of minutes.
Important considerations to bear in mind
If the individual develops lip swelling, facial swelling, throat swelling, shortness of breath or hives, it is best to call for emergency assistance. The individual might be experiencing anaphylaxis which is a severe allergic reaction that affects the whole body. If this is not properly managed with the administration of an injectable epinephrine and timely medical attention, anaphylaxis can lead to death.

Two-time Formula One world champion Fernando Alonso believes it is possible McLaren can end Mercedes' dominance in the sport.
McLaren chairman Ron Dennis declared on Monday that his team will be the first to dethrone Mercedes - who have won the last two constructors' championships.
He told the BBC: "I honestly believe that the next world champions after Mercedes will be McLaren. We'll get to that goal before other people.
"It is challenging but I have a firm belief in the technical competence of our people and a firm belief in Honda."
And Alonso - who won his two world titles with Renault before making the initial switch to McLaren in 2007 - has backed up Dennis' bold remarks.
"Will we be the first to stop Mercedes' domination? I don't know yet but it's quite possible," the Spaniard said.
"Red Bull are a top team but not having a big engine manufacturer in this F1 is tough and Ferrari will always be competitive but always maybe missing the last bit.
"What Ron says it's something he feels and I tend to agree with him. With next year's regulations it's difficult to know how things can mix in terms of competitiveness.
"I see this project going in the right direction. Last year we had many difficulties, we were under performing and all we had was hope things would get better.
"Now we have more than hope, we've started to see the results, to touch the results and we feel more competitive."
McLaren have finished in the points in three out of the first five races in 2016, with Alonso claiming their best finish of sixth in Russia earlier this month.

Will Rankings Ever Change Higher Education? A Short History of a Long Shot/
A recent article published in Inside Higher Education (IHE) has reported on a 'call for change' in business schools by 21 academics, arguing that organisations within higher education should not be ranked in simple number order, and that the rankings themselves are biased in favour of traditional postgraduate course delivery.
The piece is interesting as it argues not for an alternative ranking, but for a number of tools and resources that would enable better decision-making. This includes the release and sharing of data that would promote a more democratic approach and support prospective students in making more informed choices about their business schools.
This is not the first such protest, and it certainly won't be the last.
I have worked in publishing in various forms for nearly 20 years, and for the last 14 years I have worked for Emerald Publishing, which covers areas such as business, management, education, engineering and other social sciences. Business schools like no other sector in higher education seem to be obsessed by rankings, and this latest call to action is one of a long line for fair, accurate and poignant proposals to change the way they operate. It is likely it will be as unsuccessful as all of its predecessors. The daddy of them all was the book Managers not MBAs by management guru Henry Mintzberg, which called out almost all major business schools for not teaching managers the right skills for their actual job. Rather, Mintzberg argued, they filled their head with theories and rhetoric and left them wholly unprepared for disasters such as the Global Financial Crisis. As such, business school rankings were useless.
In the same year, Harvard Business Review published another take down of the business school establishment in a now legendary article entitled How Business Schools Lost their Way by Warren Bennis and James O'Toole. This paper called for a greater emphasis on business ethics in the curriculum and a move away from traditional MBA subjects. Like Mintzberg, it met with many nods of approval, with barely a single change made by the top business schools desperate to maintain 'quality metrics', and their bottom line. And while business schools stayed true to the traditional MBA rubric, bums kept their places on seats at ever higher annual fees, with the $100k MBA soon to be a reality.
In 2013, another eminence grise of North American business schools, Clay Christensen of Harvard, decided to weigh into the debate with a book on disruption in higher education and a bold prediction in an interview with Wired magazine. I quote, "And then I think higher education is just on the edge of the crevasse. Generally, universities are doing very well financially, so they don't feel from the data that their world is going to collapse. But I think even five years from now these enterprises are going to be in real trouble."
So, in just 12 months it is all going to come crashing down, is it? Hmm.
My favourite 'we're all going to hell in a handcart' article about business schools and rankings is by Roger Martin, a former dean of the Rotman School of Management in Toronto. Published in 2012, he doesn't quite say everyone is doomed, but looks at the narrow research published in that most elite ranking list, the FT 45 (now expanded to a dizzying 50 journals). He reckons – and it really is back of a cigarette packet stuff – that the annual cost of 'unactionable research' in those journals (for instance, research that does not actually benefit anyone in business from knowing) is a whopping $600m. In other words, if those academics had turned their attention to researching something useful for business and were rewarded for it, rather than not quite proving the 17 hypotheses in their theoretical paper, then the world as a whole might be better off.
However, while he was criticised for his maths, Martin did more than most to put his finger on the problem, which was that despite this colossal potential waste of money every year, the structures in place in the business school world and higher education in general mean that change is very difficult to implement. Universities are tied to funding that depends on traditional forms of quality metrics, and publishers try and publish as much of the research deemed as good quality so that universities will pay for access. Arguments, therefore, for new metrics and new tools to identify quality and relevance, will almost inevitably founder as there are few incentives in place to encourage systemic change.
Emerald Publishing is celebrating 50 years in existence in 2017, and it was founded all those years ago by academics at the Bradford School of Management who wanted to ensure journals and articles were published in business and management that were not overly theoretical, and had a grounding in the way business was really done. This year we have started to invest in how to progress the 'impact agenda', bringing organisations and academia much closer together by identifying how and why research can be more integrated in their approaches. Hopefully this will support some real change in higher education, however small, and move the debate on from whatever the latest ranking says.

The San Jose Sharks — they're not to be confused with the San Jose A's. The A's still are playing. So are the San Francisco Giants, unfortunately.
If it weren't for the Houston Astros, the Giants would have a losing record. If it weren't for the Giants, the A's would have a losing record. If it weren't for the Sharks, we'd have to rely on the Warriors' lottery selection for the story that never ends.
If it weren't for the Warriors ... hey, Larry Ellison: Buy the franchise already.
Eight days in May. The Giants nearly got swept. (They won a game in San Diego, of all places.) The Sharks did get swept. The Warriors lost three spots in the NBA draft order. Be upbeat.
To imagine the We-Don't-Want-to-be-in-Oakland A's were the only franchise around here that knows how to win defies logic, if there is anything logical in trying to figure sports.
One certain thing is that if you don't score, you can't win. Which is why the Sharks were in trouble, never getting more than two goals in any of the four losses to the Chicago Blackhawks.
And which is why the Giants still are in trouble, having been shut out five times and picking up a single run five other times in 10 of their first 43 games. Now Tim Lincecum is struggling. Are you allowed to say, "Wait till next year," before Memorial Day?
The A's, meanwhile, keep poking along in relative secrecy, although when the Giants went over to Tarpaulin Tech last weekend, there actually were people in many of the seats which didn't have covers over them.
In the spring, baseball mavens suggested the A's might be better than previously believed, and damn if they aren't right. The A's and the Giants have virtually the same record, which has to be a plus for Oakland and a very large minus for San Francisco.
But the Giants have recorded one notable achievement, unlikely to be duplicated for a while, by being involved in two one-hitters. One was by their own bad-luck pitcher, Jonathan Sanchez (yes, everybody who throws for the Giants is a bad-luck pitcher) and one by the opposition. They lost both games 1-0, of course.
The Giants faithful have decided it's all the fault of Bruce Bochy, who can't make out a lineup card properly, and either isn't giving Pablo Sandoval any rest or is giving Bengie Molina too much rest. Maybe Bochy isn't Joe Torre, but how do you manage a team that can't hit a pitched ball?
Brian Sabean, the GM, is also considered a culprit, but what was he supposed to do, steal Manny Ramirez from the Dodgers?
The probability that the Giants will have a worse record this season than last is poking us in the eyeballs. Meanwhile, the A's could continue their anonymous pursuit of respectability, unless Mr. Beane decides it is expedient to dispatch talent after the Summer Solstice.
Will Sabean and the Giants, to the contrary, acquire someone who knows how to get a runner in from third? Probably not.
Oh, well. Look at it this way: The Niners and Raiders open camp in two months.
