The Volvo XC90 winning the 'Car of the Year' and 'Best Mid-Size Premium SUV' awards, Emre Karaer, General Manager at Volvo Cars Middle East and North Africa said: "We would like to thank the Middle East Car of the Year committee and Jury panel for awarding the XC90 with two prestigious awards.

Brave Ring
Brave Ring
*I've teamed up with friend and talented craftsman Kevin of Rough Design Co. to create an exclusive line of men's jewelry.*
This unique ring features a vintage buffalo nickel that has been hand engraved by artist James Boudreau of Monroe, GA into an incredible skeleton brave. James's work continues and preserves the American tradition of "hobo nickel" carving, popular in the early 20th Century, when coin faces were altered into all sorts of clever, tiny bas relief sculptures to be traded and collected.
Kevin and I take James's art and set it in our own hand carved sterling band, accented with some lucky "XIII" engraving on either side.
Due to its width, we recommend ordering a half size up from what you normally wear. If you don't see your size listed, please contact me and I will do my best to accommodate!
*Because each ring features an actual vintage nickel, yours will be one of a kind! James chooses his own nickels, but aside from the slight variations due to handmade work, the ring you receive will have a very similar brave image on it.

This is a hard one to write. I'm coming to grips with myself and that fact that I'm not the sexual being I once was. Something's shifted and it's not as troubling as I'd would think it would be AND it's still disconcerting because I'm a sex educator/coach/activist. Aren't I supposed to be this total sexual being? I thought at first that it may have been because of dealing with cancer and chemo and all that shit, however it isn't changing much and it's been 6 years since I've finished treatment, etc. I don't have a huge sex drive anymore. I love being in relationships and I love intimacy with others and I can totally do without sex. And, the few sexual encounters I've had in the last several years have been great and I enjoyed them in the moment, I'm just not compelled to seek them out. I'm finding myself more and more relating to the concept of asexuality or maybe demisexuality. I found a wiki page about gray asexuality which seems to be a possibility.
I just was at a BDSM conference in Rome and I could probably have gotten laid if I wanted to and I didn't even try. I flirted a bit and talked to some awesome and very sexy people and I was content to be just flirtatious and leave it at that.
I think I've posted before about my relationship with orgasms. I'll recap. I had my first orgasm climbing a rope in the 4th grade, on the playground. I went home and duplicated that awesome feeling. My connection to orgasm was not about the erotic or romantic, it was strictly physical.
Now, since then I've had some orgasmic experiences that weren't just about the physical AND overall those have been far and few between. For me, sex has seldom been about orgasm (yes I did fake it years ago…sorry) it's been more about the connection and intimacy with others than the big O. I masturbate maybe one a week and it's purely for the physical release. I seldom fantasize about anyone or any situation. Don't get me wrong, some things turn me on (many of you know I have a fetish for backhoes and bulldozers) and yet that turn-on doesn't require me to do anything about it. I just enjoy the feeling.
So my question is, does this make me asexual? Demisexual? Gray sexuality? Can someone go from being sexual to asexual? Do I even need to identify as one thing or the other? I'd love feedback on this.

Conservative Corner: Looking at People Through American Eyes
February 10, 2013 Leave a comment
If you have ever thought about it, or if someone has asked you, what does an "American" look like? As we all know an American has nothing to do with the color of the skin, but as Dr, Marin Luther King pointed out, the content of their character is the important thing. Unfortunately, even today, racism is still a problem, even with a black man as the leader of the free world.
There was a very ugly time in our past when people were prosecuted for a number of different reasons, including color of the skin, shape of the face, color and length of hair and the way of speaking. We all are guilty of things we probably aren't proud of. Some of us learn from our mistakes, some of us never do.
Many people, manly those who are liberal or progressive thinking, believe Conservatives and the Tea Party movement are racist due to the lack of minorities in their ranks. True, there aren't many minorities who consider themselves conservatives; however, conservatives welcome with open arms all Americans. There is still an ugly side of America. A side we must be wary of. These are groups and individuals who still have racist and anti-American opinions.
We all know of the hate group, The Knights of the Klu Klux Klan (K.K.K.), however, hate goes beyond a bunch of ignorant, arrogant jerks wearing their wife's best linens on their heads. There is hate on all sides. Many people, especially the targeted Tea Party, have identified the NAACP, the New Black Panther, and individual such as the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Al Sharpton, and others with racist attitudes.
Rep. Maxine Waters told her supporters the tea party movement could go "straight to hell," according to newsmax.com. Jesse Jackson compared the Tea Party to the racist forces that Martin Luther King fought against in the civil rights movements of the 60's. Al Sharpton calls the Tea Party a "monster" on his MSNBC show. Mr. Sharpton also called Tea Party people and conservatives "extremists".
Unfortunately, today there are many double standards in the media when it comes to fairness in race. It seems like if a black person on TV says something racially negative, it is ignored, however, if anyone else says something negative against blacks they are "branded" a racist. It seems like one of the guiltiest groups in our country is the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Recently the NAACP held an award ceremony in which the actor Jamie Foxx celebrated his award with the comment, "black people are the most talented people in the world", according to newsbusters.org. Could any other race do that without repercussions?
The same double standards are in politics. During Obama's first term Janeane Garofalo blasted conservatives and Tea Party people by calling them, "a bunch of tea bagging rednecks," Garofalo added "this is about hating a black man in the White House. This is racism straight up." Also, philly.com reminds us how the New Black Panther Party stood guard at polling stations during the last two presidential elections. This act is, of course, is illegal. No one needs this kind of hate. The fact that most conservatives are not happy the job Obama is doing as president is not a secret, however, blaming his policies on the color of his skin is as absurd and completely wrong.
I am not saying that white people and other groups are not judgmental and have a difficult time with those who are different, but it seems today that people are more afraid of making comment about black people for fear of retaliation from the powerful and one-sided "civil rights" groups.
We seem to have lost the will to love and care for each other as Americans and patriots. It seems we only look at each other with a kind eyes and a full heart when something bad happens like a natural disaster or a terrorist attack. I hope someday look we will cast aside our differences and see each other in this country as we really are, not Republicans or Democrats, not liberal or conservatives, and most defiantly not as black, white or any other color, but as Americans.

The Arcadian returns to the dark ice in a reprisal of one of his first and most deadly missions. But this time the stakes couldn't be higher.
In 2008, a top secret US submarine went missing on its test voyage off the coast of Antarctica. After years silent, its emergency beacon is suddenly activated, but strangely, the beacon is emanating from a point miles below the ice sheets of the frozen continent.
The race is on. The Chinese government, alerted at the same time as the Americans, is after the submarine's secrets. And the Americans need to retrieve their technology, quickly and quietly, from a place now marked as an international forbidden zone.
With the reluctant assistance of petrobiologist Aimee Weir, Alex Hunter and his team of HAWCs return to the location of their first mission together.
But only a few members of the team know the truth. A treacherous horror lies in wait for them, deep beneath the Antarctic ice.
When I first heard that Beck was returning to the world that he had explored so well in Beneath the Dark Ice I was initially skeptical. Why would he go down that path again? Would he do it justice? Or was Kraken Rising doomed to fail from the start. Well, after ripping through it in one sitting (and annoying my wife by keeping my bedside light on until the early hours of the morning) I can safely say the following.
Kraken Rising is Beck's best work yet.. and the Arcadian is back.
I loved absolutely everything in this book, from it's off the hook action sequences and spine tingling encounters right through to the moments of pure primordial terror. Kraken Rising not only hits all of the markers for a great action story, it also scares the living shit out of you as you read. One of Beck's greatest skills as a writer is his ability to explore our greatest fears and to build suspense. The further I got into Kraken Rising the higher the stakes got, and at one stage I had to put the book down for a minute just to take a breather from the insane and terrifying encounters with the monster (a gigantic and super intelligent cephalopod/orthocone with a taste for humans). Add to this mix the threat of nuclear war, and a showdown between the navies of the United States and China off Antartica, and you have the recipe for what is simply an amazing story. The military hardware and tech that was also explored in Kraken Rising blew my mind. Super soldiers, genetic engineering, body armour that would make Tony Stark jealous, advanced weaponry, and secret submarines all leap out from the pages as you read, and make Kraken Rising even more addictive and explosive (one particular scene where the monster assaults a Chinese naval vessel was just INSANE). What makes this book unforgettable however is Alex Hunter. The Arcadian. The original super soldier. The best. How Beck has handled his evolution over this series has been nothing short of impressive, and I adored the subtle nuances and layers to his character that have slowly started to appear and come to prominence throughout the last few books (having a child, dealing with the psychotic side of his mind, etc). His showdown with the monster reminded me of Brody taking on the shark in Jaws, or Dutch facing off against the Predator. It had that same level of excitement, tension, and awesomeness. All in all this story gripped me from the opening page and just refused to let go. And now, days afterwards, I'm still googling about things Beck mentions throughout the book (sightings of giant squids, fossils, boats and planes going missing with no trace, strange sounds heard from the depths, etc). That's how much of an impact it had.
Kraken Rising is military horror at its absolute finest, and I would recommended it to anyone with a heartbeat and a functioning brain!
5 out of 5 stars.

Quick question -- when do you think you can have the branch-2.0.3-alpha in place? We'd *really* like to start testing it in Bigtop ASAP (Bigtop 0.6.0 is supposed to be based on Hadoop 2.0.3) so we can avoid integration issues like we had between 2.0.2 and Oozie. Any help in making it available to us sooner would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Roman.

It's been a long time since I've reviewed food on my blog. I stopped because I upped up my diet and a part of the cause of me being overweight was my unending desire to have reviews on my blog. Talk about dedication, right?
Mike and I have been trying our best to be wiser when it comes to eating out. We've also tried to have salads (honestly, eww) when we have our dates. It's hard but eating smarter is the only way to go if I want to continue losing weight and achieving my desire goal before the year ends. Also, to have a healthier lifestyle overall.
The Old Spaghetti House
We have been thoroughly enjoying eating at The Old Spaghetti House. Their pasta is really good – cooked al dente and perfectly seasoned – that it keeps me coming back for more! We've eaten there twice (out of four times) when we meet up on weekdays. That's how good it was for me.
Their branch over at Market Market is right next to Shrimp Shack. I'm not sure if they're partner restaurants but Mike tried the Surf and Turf. It wasn't the best and I would skip it if you ever end up here.
As for me, I love their Pesto with Grilled Chicken. You can really taste the herbs in this one (although I doubt if it's fresh) and the grilled chicken perfectly compliments and completes this dish. I ordered it twice too.
Not in picture is The Old Spaghetti House's Pepper Crusted Fish Fillet with Sundried Tomato Pasta. It was so good I ate a good amount off of Mike's plate.
There's not a lot of The Old Spaghetti House where I'm from. It's my first time to try their food and it certainly did not disappoint. I loved it and we'll probably eat here again this week if Mike agrees to it.
Fireside by Kettle
Since we have an upcoming wedding, Mike and I have been trying our best to not overspend when it comes to food. We've failed, miserably, when we decided to try Fireside at Mega Food Hall.
Our whole meal cost us 1200++PHP but man was the food good. We decided to get the Fireside Steak Salad and the Double Cut Porkchop. The salad was a bit of a disappointment since I'm looking for a healthy salad. It's basically some greens with fried onion rings and steak. With our initial intention of eating something healthy, the fried onion rings was a failure. However, we completely and willingly threw our initial intentions after our first bite. It was so good! The balsamic dressing definitely completed this dish. The steak was also perfectly cooked which made it a delight to eat. I sinned but it's worth it.
This pork chop is monstrous. It's super thick! Even the sides were big. The gravy that came along with it was also delicious. I enjoyed sharing this dish with Mike. (Honestly, what more can I say about a pork chop rather than it's good?)
The next time we eat here, I'll ask Mike to order the Buttermilk Chicken Fingers, which I hear is another of their bestsellers. Overall, this restaurant is a bit pricey but totally worth it. I do hope we get to eat here again.

I do have to say that Stephanie Perkins is moving up the ladder in terms of writers that I enjoy, BUT that being said I still do have some problems with Lola and the Boy Next Door. Overall, I did like this book. It wasn't as good as Anna and the French Kiss, but I will get to that later. What did I like?Cricket, obviously. He was a sweet, kind, and generous guy who was way better suited for Lola than her previous boyfriend. (However, he was a tad bit unbelievable in some of his character traits...and a little too nice)Lola was a fun character. At first I didn't really like her, but she warmed up to me by the end. (Maybe because she finally got some sense?)Cameo appearances of Anna and Etienne and how Anna is Lola's friend and boss at the movie theater! It was nice to know we got to see them again. [The European shrug is mentioned, ah!]The setting! As a San Francisco Bay Area native I love it when I read about books taking place in my favorite city. However, there is one problem I do have with the setting that I will mention later on.Andy and Nathan Nolan--Lola's parents. I loved that Stephanie Perkins went a little different, but she also played to San Francisco's advantage. (I also like that they lived in the Castro District too). However, unlike Anna and the French Kiss I wasn't completely sold on Lola and the Boy Next Door.What I didn't like:Max--I know we are not supposed to like him, but how in the world did Lola even think he was into her or even liked her for that matter. It isn't just the age difference with Lola being 17 and Max being 22, but other things as well. [I also have major problems when authors write about these kinds of relationships because it goes back to my high school days of hearing about sixteen year olds having boyfriends who are 21 and how wrong that was, and they thought there were in love! Authors should recognize they are setting an example to their readers. This kind of relationship is NOT OKAY. In the beginning you think Max is good, but you find out he isn't--although it happened a little too quick for my own liking.]What I also didn't like was the last sentence Max says to Lola makes me think he wasn't as honest as he likes people to be. What a hypocrite! My major beef with the setting is that Stephanie Perkins and the characters kept referring to a "train" to take Lola from San Francisco to Berkeley. THERE IS NOT TRAIN! IT'S CALLED BART (BAY AREA RAPID TRANSIT)! EVERYONE IN THE SFBA (San Francisco Bay Area) KNOWS THIS! THEY WOULD NEVER EVER CALL BART A TRAIN! EVER! THEY WOULD LAUGH! Especially if they are longtime natives like Lola! I had a HUGE problem with this because it is less realistic (is it even less realistic than a guy knowing how to do a teenage girl's hair and letting her paint his nails). As a SFBA native (at one time) anyone I know would crack up if they heard BART referred to as a train. Train would imply AMTRAK. Not even Caltrains! People would call Caltrains--Caltrains (which takes people from the Silicon Valley to San Francisco). I think Stephanie Perkins knew this, since she did do some research of San Francisco and Berkeley, but my guess is that she probably had this in one of her drafts but her editor said to cut it so it will cut down confusion or something. It's not confusing, BART is a mass transit electronic rail not a train! The first half of the book was extremely slow, and I didn't really care much for the characters--but the character growth started to shine a little more than halfway through and my attention was peaked (only because Lola realized that one she wasn't really in love with Max, she wanted to be--but honestly Max was a jerk and it was an unhealthy relationship to begin with). Overall, Lola and the Boy Next Door was a cute read. Not as good as Anna and the French Kiss (but I think it was because the pacing was better and I liked all the characters and their actions made sense!). I would recommend this to fans of chick lit or romance, and it's cute but not as good as Anna and the French Kiss (if a bit on the annoying side sometimes with Lola!)Although, as a little bit unrealistic as Cricket seems...it's nice to wonder if there are really nice guys like that out there. However, I'm still on the Etienne train. :)

Script Software makes a couple of utilities that make my Mac work better for me. iWatermark for Mac OS X allows me to watermark images singly or in batches and with great ease. I don't always watermark my photos, but when I do, this is what I use.
Running all the time though is iClock for Mac OS X:
See the time and date simultaneously in any format or color. Click on it to see a drop down menu of the current time/date in any city in the world or option click to see your updated portfolio of stocks. Use the lightning quick calendar, stop watch, calculator and timers (that can be set with one click).
I don't use all the features of iClock by any means, but being able to format the date and time (separately) is very nice and I'm surprised by how often I want to check the time in some other part of the world or to set a quick countdown alarm.

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
(Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Burmese)
No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile.
Article 9:
Those who have the kindness of benefit for others
For the sake of living beings, do not relax their powers.
Though these holy beings bear a heavy burden,
They never put it down and dwell in discouragement.
Burma is known as a golden land made of several ranges (or 'Yoma' in Burmese) where thousands of tribal memories, wisdoms, religions, cultures and beauties of plants and animals dwell. The rivers, all of them are indeed important to the people and other existences, snake through these beautiful mountainous regions and flow from the north to the south where Indian Ocean is. The peoples, Burma has 103 ethnics, all of them used to be really generous and all they knew was to give.
Since the modern day's dictators have systematically destroyed, now the golden land is famous for its narcotic trades, refugees, migrant workers and various atrocities and sufferings.
One day, we'll be free again and the land will be again famous for its beauty.
oil and burma, also water
Next year? $200? If not yet next year, it could become $200 a barrel within 5 years!!!
Certainly we will have to ride horses and donkey as speedy transportation unless ... there is successful alternative energies. I don't like to ride horses but want to be one :)))
We, Burmese, know how important horses were and we've read how good they were and we even know there were (are) horses that the divines have to rely on even though these powerful divines have (had) full of powers - mythology or whatever I believe in ghosts because I believe they exist because I believe I saw one with my own eyes!!!
Now I shall go back to oil...
What will Burma do if oil is not affordable anymore? We will be worse-off certainly! I have suggested that we'll sell gas and oil and the money we get from this must be invested in alternative energies or renewable energies that we must build wind towers everywhere as we have 3000 miles long shoreline from the north of Rakhine State to the souther tip Kosaung. Then we won't have any trouble about energy for ten or twenty years. Once we become well-off, much more developed, we would be able to invest in similar projects off-shore for wind, wave and solar sectors. Then we would be able to go on another two decades. I don't think I should suggest for the next 60 years as I wouldn't be alive any longer.
Certainly I will oppose any dam building for hydroelectric projects. I hate to see losing our beautiful landscapes and wildlife. We must preserve them as treasure. A Burmese saying is u-tu ya-thi Taw ko mhi ii or the weather is up to the forests. We had wisdom so we must have it in the future even though we don't have it now...
On the other hand, we must build dams anyway just for drinking water - we have to know global warming will affect Burma too that our fresh water reserves - such as silver caps, rivers and streams could become less sufficient. Here we must build dams near villages, towns and cities that wouldn't severely affect or damage our environments...I think our cities must become smaller but higher in the future.

A fun filled day of fundraising at Chelmsley Wood Specsavers has helped a Birmingham dance school fund new costumes ahead of the finals of a national competition.
Successful day of fundraising
The team was joined by youngsters from Inca Arts Dance School on Saturday (28 May) as they hosted a range of fundraising activities in store. With a cake sale, specs MOTs (cleaning and adjustments) and a flashmob routine performed by the dance group, £200 was raised on the day.
Specsavers also made a £600 donation to the group, helping to fund much needed new costumes ahead of the finals of the Dance Champion UK competition, for which the group has recently qualified.
Proud sponsors
'We had a fantastic day on Saturday and are really proud to be supporting Inca Dance School as they make their way to the finals of the competition,' said Sukhi Drake, store director at Specsavers Chelmsley Wood. 'We had already pledged a £600 donation for the group and customers generously helped us top that up to £800 with their donations, so the youngsters will now be able to have new costumes to wear during the finals in Blackpool.
'It was great to have the dancers join us in store on Saturday and we wish them the best of luck for the rest of the competition.'
Inca Arts Dance School is based in Marston Green and was set-up in 2015 to provide an avenue into dance for young people. The Dance Champion UK finals will take place in Blackpool on 10 July.

Congratulations to the Kendal College Team at the Rotary Club Technology Tournament who won the advanced design & build challenge. Well done Alex, Luc, Conor and Joe!
The event which the students took part in was the "Rotary BAE Systems Technology Tournament" which was held at Kendal Leisure Centre on Friday 17th March. The event was organised by the Rotary Clubs in Rotary International District 1190.
There are 3 categories which students from a variety of schools across Cumbria compete in. Our team competed in the Advanced section, with the team made up of Alex Mepham, Conor Moss and Luc Boissier-Wyles from Computing and Joe Scott from Engineering. This was our second year of competing in the tournament – with the team last year making a bridge and this year the task was to create a 'mole' which needed to go down a pipe and collect debris.

I left off "Water, Water Everywhere and It Makes You Want to Drink" with a "to be continued". Well let me tell you, there was a lot that continued and here it is:
The story of the second flood is one that will make you put your head in your hands and say "those freaking idiots!". Greg came home during lunch one day to let Lola out and discovered a bunch of the upstairs neighbors friends shooting a movie on their back porch. Mind you none of the upstairs neighbors were anywhere to be found. One of the scenes they were shooting involved a bearded guy in a dress getting sprayed by a hose. Greg said when he came through the back gate, there was tons of water dripping off the porch and then when he opened the door to our apartment, it was like the Niagara Falls in the kitchen.
Apparently, one of the upstairs neighbors (who was a complete ditz of a guy), told his friends they could use the place while he was gone and attach a hose to the same valve that had caused the problem in the first place. At that point the handle on the valve had been removed, so that it wouldn't cause a problem again, but these people attached the hose and then used a wrench to start the water flow!!
Greg quickly ran upstairs and told the people they needed to stop immediately because there was water running everywhere downstairs. At first they gave him an annoyed "what's your problem" look and then Greg had to spell out for them that the water was leaking into our apartment. They all ran downstairs and helped Greg cleanup as fast as possible, but the damage had already been done and walls were completely soaked again. Ugh…..
Needless to say, our poor dog that we only had for two weeks, had to endure the cleanup crew coming into our place and installing those horrid loud dryers and dehumidifiers again. We also had to deal with people showing up unannounced at 8:00 am (mind you people work hours start at about 10:00 or 11:00 a here, so we were just waking up) to paint. Obviously we didn't want to leave our poor dog in the apartment breathing in paint fumes, so we had to do a lot of last minute scrambling to make accommodations during the day for her.
After enduring all of that, it really took a lot out of us and that's when we decided we had to move. Our place had lost it's comfort and charm. As the fall started to set in, the apartment became very cold and our breath could be seen at night. Our upstairs neighbors had control over the heat and they were a bunch of poor artists/students who were getting kicked out anyway, so it was a complete pain to get them to keep the heat on. Needless to say, that was our final straw and we were absolutely done with that place and we went on the apartment hunt.

What do kids think are the differences between boys and girls?
The organisers of this year's International Women's Day are asking us all to 'Be Bold For Change' when it comes to creating a more equal world.
So who better to ask than schoolkids for bold and brutally honest answers on breaking down gender stereotypes?
Lifestyle visited Sydney's Kyeemagh Public School to get kids' thoughts on why girls can do anything boys can - from playing soccer on the school field to earning the same salary in an office.
Their take on women not getting paid the same as men? "A disgrace!"
Their career ambitions? "Pilot!" "Soccer player!" "Teacher!" "Prime minister!"
Perhaps 8-year-old Aiden said it best when it comes to encouraging girls to reach their full potential.
"Whatever they dream of in their dreams, they can make come true," he said.
Wise words indeed!
Hit play at the top of the page to see some of our future generation reassure you the world is becoming a more inclusive place.

Blackhawks anthem singer Jim Cornelison will continue Indy 500 tradition Sunday
INDIANAPOLIS — When the Blackhawks returned to prominence in the National Hockey League, so one of their pregame traditions.
The cheering National Anthem – a staple of games at Chicago Stadium – wasn't quite as inspiring in the late 1990s and most of the 2000s as the team on the ice struggled to compete. Jim Cornelison helped to revive that, as he sang in front of more enthusiastic crowds in the later part of the decade, reviving the tradition that was once a highlight of Blackhawks' games.
Because of that, Cornelison has gotten the chance to perform at a number of different events. Bears fans remember his performances before the NFC Divisional and Championship games during the team's last playoff run in January of 2011 at Soldier Field.
There is one event, however, that might hit a little closer to Cornelison's heart. That's the Indianapolis 500, which takes place around an hour north of his graduate school Alma Mater of Indiana University.
The song is "Back Home Again in Indiana." It's one of the traditional songs which is performed before the start of the race and Cornelison will have the duty of singing it for a second-straight year.
He's one of three to sing it since the late Jim Nabors nearly four-decade run ended in 2014. A Capella group "Straight No Chaser" had the honor in 2015 with Josh Kaufman performing the song with the Indianapolis Children's Choir in 2016.
Like 2017 and many years before, Cornelison will perform the song with the Purdue University All-American Marching Band, singing once again in front of an enthusiastic crows in an event full of tradition.

Public Hearing Tonight on City Manager Budget
The new City Manager's proposed budget will receive a public hearing tonight. She has allocated $100,000 for a dog park. While this may seem like a lot, it's at least $50,000 less than what's required to complete the dog park.
The last City Manager said the dog park would be open this summer by the end of June. The current budget would not only fail to open the dog park this summer, it would likely result in the dog park not being open next year either. This is a huge setback from what has been promised.
Click the links below to email the City Manager and City Manager to tell them to increase the budget sufficiently to complete the park this summer. Or, even better, come to the public hearing tonight at the City Community Center Auditorium at 7:00 p.m. and testify about your frustration of the City's failure to move this along.

Matthew McConaughey Says Snoop Dogg 'Snooped' Him Into Getting High on 'Beach Bum'
Matthew McConaughey made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night (May 21) and revealed how his co-star Snoop Dogg got him high as a kite on the set of their upcoming film The Beach Bum.
"What's the most notable thing Snoop did during your work time together?" host Jimmy asked. "He 'Snooped' me," the 48-year-old actor responded.
"You know what being 'Snooped' is? My particular 'Snooping' was all recorded," Matthew continued. "It was a scene where I'm going to Snoop, I've got writer's block, and Snoop has the magic weed, right. I go to Snoop and I go to the prop man to make sure I've got prop weed. Now prop weed is not real weed, it's like crushed oregano and stuff. So we get in the scene, it's about a six-minute scene, passed back and forth (the weed), all of a sudden at the end he says 'Moon Dog' -That's my character- 'that ain't prop weed, that's Snoop weed.'"
Matthew also talked about making his new movie, meeting with the real White Boy Rick in prison, and he reveals that his brother Rooster was offered a crazy/amazing job in Vegas – Watch more after the cut!

The Mummy Code
lauraf > 24 February 2017
Hey Rasheadz, This weeks mummy interview we have unlocked the Mummy Code by chatting to Rachelle. Check her out on Instagram @themummycode, Facebook The Mummy Code, and her Website www.themummycode.com.au What is your favourite thing to do at the pool/ beach with your kids? At the beach we love exploring under rocks and trying to find little crabs or schools of tiny fish. At the pool is just about splashing and having fun. What is one tip about swimming with kids that you have learnt the hard way? They don't all naturally love water. I was always such a water baby, my kids enjoy water but it's taken time to get used to it. Oh and always bring spare nappies if you have little ones. What's the best thing about swimming with your kids? Seeing them enjoying themselves and the pride in their eyes when they learn something new. What's the worst thing about swimming with your kids? Trying to wrangle them when it's time to leave. Also, the amount of 'stuff' you need to take for a simple beach trip. Name two products you couldn't live without on a pool/beach trip with kids (doesn't have to be ours)? Sunscreen and bathers (for me) that don't untie or move easily. Nothing worse than having tiny hands pulling at you and having to worry everything is still in place. Thanks Rachelle for that awesome interview - we agree... leaving time is no fun for anyone! Love Rashoodz

INDIANAPOLIS — The back seat of the convertible was just wide enough for a third passenger to join Dario Franchitti, the 39-year-old Scotsman who had just won his third Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, and Franchiti's wife, the actress Ashley Judd.
So they spontaneously invited Susie Wheldon, a blonde in a white dress and white sunglasses, on Franchitti's victory lap. Her husband and their friend, Dan Wheldon, had won the race a year earlier, but he was killed in a racing accident last October in Las Vegas.
"I tell you what, she's a stronger person than I am to come here," Franchitti said.
Although the temperature had topped 90 degrees, a large portion of the crowd at Indianapolis Motor Speedway stayed to bathe the three in cheers as they passed. Wheldon's death in Las Vegas, Franchitti said, was the lowest of the lows. The victory lap was the reason he returned to the racetrack.
Franchitti, the 2007 and 2010 Indy 500 champion, won a memorable race Sunday that included a record 35 lead changes. He overcame a spin after his first pit stop that dropped him into last place and then, hours later, won an exhilarating last-lap duel with the Japanese driver Takuma Sato.
"I thought I had the job done," Sato said. "But he kept pushing and didn't give me enough room."Continue reading the main story
Sato tried to dart to the inside of Franchitti's red Honda racecar entering the first turn of the two-and-a-half-mile oval, but Sato lost control of his car, spun and thudded into the white outside wall, scuffing it with a long streak of tire rubber. Franchitti kept his foot on the gas.
He won under caution, crossing the finish line ahead of Scott Dixon, his Target Chip Ganassi teammate, and the gregarious Brazilian driver Tony Kanaan, who had taken the lead earlier with an audacious pass that carried him past four drivers.
"We were like sitting ducks, man," Dixon said.
It was not lost on Franchitti that Dixon and Kanaan were also good friends of Wheldon's, and he joked at his postrace news conference that Wheldon must have been laughing at these three drivers going at it from wherever he might have been watching Sunday's race.
Franchitti was thrilled to win, of course, but the love that the fans showed for him and for Susie Wheldon got to him. Dan Wheldon will not be forgotten, but it was as if a door had been closed, with a tight race won by a contemporary, rival and friend of his.
"It meant a lot that Suze was able to come around with us today," Franchitti said.
The Indianapolis 500 victory was the fifth for Ganassi, the owner of Franchitti's car, who was not so happy the previous weekend after Dixon and Franchitti qualified poorly for the race. Dixon, the 2008 Indy 500 champion, started 15th on Sunday, one spot ahead of Franchitti.
But it became clear early in the race that Honda-powered cars were getting better fuel mileage than Chevrolet-powered cars. Marco Andretti, in a Chevy, led 59 of the first 90 laps but dropped back into the pack when he made an early pit stop, ceding the lead to Dixon. After Franchitti clambered back to the front after spinning out on his initial pit stop, he and Dixon stayed there.
"There were a lot of unknowns going into today's race," Ganassi said. "It turned out to be what I thought, a great race." He added that there was an awful "lot of passing going on."
"At the end, there wasn't anybody saving fuel there," he said.
Andretti spent the rest of the day grumbling on his radio as he tried to get back into contention. After Kanaan startled everyone by simultaneously passing four cars for an early lead, then grabbing the lead back from Franchitti with 13 laps to go, Andretti spun out and hit the wall in Turn 1, crumpling his car. The Andretti family is now 1 for 66 in the Indy 500.
"It wasn't over by any means at that point," Andretti said, referring to the moment before the spin.
Sato, a 35-year-old native of Tokyo who drives for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, started 19th but took the lead for the first time on the 119th lap, then regained it twice after that.
While Dixon and Franchitti traded the lead eight times in the span of 19 laps, Sato hung close. A driver from Japan has never won the Indy 500. Sato finally took a shot at victory, but Kanaan said he probably waited too long.
"You do not play Dario like that," Kanaan said of Sato. "He should know better than that. I think it was a young driver mistake. That's going to haunt him a little bit."
Ganassi said he thought Franchitti would have passed Sato for the lead anyway — maybe on the back straightaway — had Sato been able to make that bold pass. Ganassi said he was not that concerned. Franchitti was more experienced, and he was driving a faster car.
But Sunday's clash will surely become part of Indy 500 lore. Franchitti said he thought of the thrilling moment on the next-to-last lap of the 1989 race here, when Emerson Fittipaldi clipped Al Unser Jr., spinning him into the wall in Turn 3 and producing a victory for Fittipaldi.
"Turn 1 was the trickiest corner," Franchitti said. "If you went in with a tight line, it tended to get a bit loose."
He later took another ride through Turn 1 at a much slower speed, on the back of a convertible with his wife and a specially invited guest. Dan Wheldon liked to wear white sunglasses, and Franchitti made sure to wear a pair, too.
An earlier version of this article contained a picture caption that misspelled the surname of Tony Kanaan as Kannan.

When people meet women of a certain age, which is code for old bitch and also my demographic, they seem to ask the same question. Do you have children?
Thankfully, I do not. However, the problem is that when I'm posed this question my immediate gut response is to answer with some dark humor.
The first thought that runs through my head is to reply, "Only when I need to cum." You see, it's a pedophile joke.
The second thing is to answer, "Yes, but they all ended in miscarriage."
Why must these be the first thoughts to fly through my head?
Thank goodness I bite my tongue and just give them the cordial, "Oh, no, no kids for me."
However, it pains me that I can't verbalize my thoughts.
I'm holding in comedy gold and it is not fair.
Damn these rules of polite society!

Whether you are a beginner picking up a brush for the first time or someone returning to art after a long time away from the easel, this workshop is designed to be both informative and fun. Beginning with a discussion on the "basics" of painting (from materials to paint handling), the workshop will also address the fundamentals of composition, color, value, edges and perspective. I will begin each day with a short painting demo with explanation of my process along the way.
On the first day of the workshop, participants will work from a still life to paint quick studies that incorporate the fundamentals discussed, with plenty of one-on-one individual instruction throughout the day. The second day of the workshop will explore techniques to quickly transfer the important elements of a reference photo to the canvas, as well as creating an artistic painting rather than simply rendering a photograph. The third day of the workshop will focus on painting en plein air, including how to develop greater skills of observation, simplification, and quickly painting "wet on wet" (alla prima) to translate what you see and experience into strong paintings. Participants will paint outdoors within the picturesque Bide-A-While retreat.

General Discussion Area / Re: For the geeks...« on: 16 August 2018, 10:59:09 »
I usually try to book the emergency exits seats for more leg room, invariably they are row 12 and 13, for some reason row 13 is usually available and I book it. If I'm unlucky then so are all the other passengers...
Trouble is, 12/13 are in the middle of the plane, and as often as not they board/offload front and rear so you'll be last off. Also the bacon butties will have run out long before they get to 12/13 from either the front or back.
I usually try for rows 5 or 6 - the first of the cheap rows. Reasonably quick off, and providing the muppets in 1-4 don't realise what they're missing there is usually some food left. The back rows are best for food though - the front cabin crew service the pilots first before starting on the cattle. The cabin crews down the back just start at rows 25/30 so once they've got my name on a butty I'm safe and can relax. However, if they don't offload from the rear steps then you will be last off which is risky on a Sunday night arrival into somewhere like Stansted..
I'm in no hurry to get off as the hold luggage will take ages to get off and to the carousel.. Just stay sat in your seat till the rush has gone..

United States president Donald Trump has come out to clear the air about the language he used during a meeting with lawmakers over protection for immigrants from several countries including Africa when he referred to them as 'shithole'.
In a tweet from his official handle, Trump conceded the language he used was tough before denying using the word which has now become viral.
"The language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used. What was really tough was the outlandish proposal made – a big setback for DACA," Trump tweeted on Friday.
Following the reports of the words by the US President, Trump has received a lot of criticism from various officials and countries, the latest being Botswana, from Southern Africa.
In a statement on Friday afternoon, the Botswana government said they had summoned the US ambassador in Goborone to express their displeasure at the utterances.
In a statement dated January,12, the Internal Affairs Ministry has referred to Trump as being "highly irresponsible, reprehensible and racist."
The Southern Africa country also demanded for answers as to why the US president would use descriptor and derogatory language in reference to Africans, with whom the US has for many years had cordial, mutual and bilateral relations for many years.
It is alleged that Trump referred to Haiti, El Salvador and African countries as 'Shithole countries' during an oval office meeting about immigration on Thursday.
The United Nations has also come out to condemn Trump over the remarks they described as being racist.
"There is no other word one can use but racist. You cannot dismiss entire countries and continents as 'shitholes', whose entire populations, who are not white, are therefore not welcome," the UN human rights spokesperson, Rupert Colville told a news conference in Geneva, Switzerland on Friday.
