So, yay or something, I'm 26.
From now on all birthdays are pointless. No insurance fee drops, I can already drink, rent cars, vote etc. Nothing worth getting older for anymore, so this is really my 2nd 25th birthday, so there!
Lair of Pathia Red-Tawner
Drama Queen Central
So happy 25th already!
My 26th birthday is tomorrow. I had no idea we were so close in age. We can be, uh... spring mutant babies together! Or something. YEAH! Marshmallows.
My parents anniversary is 6/23, I was born 3/24. Doesn't take alot of math on that one!!!
Could be worse. :-) I was born July 29th, my parents were married May 23rd... draw your own conclusions. :-) And seriously, happy happy birthday!
I could make it _sound_ even worse!
Parents' anniversary was on 8/4. My birthday: 8/8.
The catch? Several year span ;)
Happy birthday, to us! *hugs* =)
Happy birthday! Someone remind me to send you some cake :)
Happy gebirthday!
You still have something to look forward to: AARP discounts. Of course, that's a long ways off. :)
Hukka Birthday! :)
Most of us stop at 29.... *grin*
Have a fulfilling whole-numbered orbit count observance!
Smappy burfday!
Birthday Happy!
Happy hatchingday, hon. :)

I did the same thing as you goof. I'm Dracono, but renamed myself ^_^
Happy birthday. :)
Hiya birthday girl! Gonna go party tonight?
I agree: chronological birthdays are bunk. Mental age birthdays, however, are hella fun! I've been a teenager for a long time with no forseeable changes in the near future! I'll always be a hopeless goofball.
Anyways, congratulations Pathia. Might this coming year be better than the last with so many more in store. Each day you occupy is a gift to those who have the pleasure of knowing you & seeing you grow. I count myself to be one of those.
Happy birthday!
Happy First Birthday Rachel! :)
Er, happy 25 + nth birthday!
Happy birthday to you (woo!)
Happy birthday to you (woo!)
Happy belated Bday. Sorry it's late but I least I said somethign.
I'm not sure when I'm gonna reset and if i do. Everyone tells me I look 4 to 5 years younger then i really am

What is the most important benefit from digitalization? The answer is that there is a digitalized version for almost everything. Highlight the term "almost". The world is yet to undergo a 100% digitalization.
However, commonalities can be accounted for, for example, for currencies you have digital currencies known as the cryptocurrencies and for gold, you have digital gold, popularly known as the Bitcoin Gold. Continue reading to find out more about Bitcoin Gold.
Bitcoin gold or the digital gold is considered the hard fork of the most famous cryptocurrency – the Bitcoins, which drives a radical shift from the previously invalid transactions to a newer valid change. It is commonly represented as BTG and was released on 12th of November 2017, with a recently updated version released on the 6th of January 2018. The market capitalization value of Bitcoin Gold, as of April 26, 2018, is expected to be around $1,275,000,000 USD.
Thus, are you still wondering why you have never considered investing in BTG? Maybe this should be your next investment option.
From an investor's point of view, there are 5 main advantages of investing in Bitcoin Gold. These include:
- Bitcoin Gold having a much greater value than traditional gold, that is, Bitcoin Gold or BTG will return more to an investor. BTG has the capability of returning almost five times of what was initially invested on it.
- Additionally, Bitcoin Gold, as an asset, acts differently from the conventional gold, bonds, and stocks. Therefore, it is interesting to add a new thing to your investment portfolio collection, a thing that is highly capable of returning huge returns.
- Thirdly, Bitcoin Gold is a good investment option in a market that is very volatile. Hence, it is preferred during turbulent market conditions.
- Further, BTG is a good option to avoid market crashes and earn money from the market explosions.
- In addition, if you are an existing Bitcoin investor, then it is much cheaper to buy Bitcoin Gold using your Bitcoins.
On the other hand, from a technologist's point of view, Bitcoin Gold is advantageous mainly for one reason and that is:
- BTG can be easily mined using a simple GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) at the comforts of their home using their personal computer and requires no sophisticated system to mine, unlike
Hence, it is expected that Bitcoin Gold will rock the trade market making its presence felt really hard.

a bit belated but the wife and i rented a bmw 430 convertible for a day of cruisin around recently and wanted to share some thoughts.
bougie factor: 3.5 of 4 masters tickets
she looks pretty, even though its the same boring black that everyone who leases a bmw seems to get. still, it feels solid like a german engineered car should, and the little touches like the nav, automatic rain sensing wipers, fancy convertible hardtop and such make it feel like the perfect fancy but not toooo fancy toy.
driving factor: 3 of 4 nurburgrings
after i found out that i could combine sport chassis settings with comfort throttle settings, it was a really nice blend of taut but not too anxious on those scenic tennessee back roads. the transmission was pretty good about knowing what gear i wanted to be in, if perhaps a bit too eager to get to the highest gear possible. (i know, i know, sport throttle setting!, except that when you'd want to cruise at anything above 40 mph it feels like you're driving around a honda fit turning 3k at 60 and i do wish that said sports throttle setting would you know, just hold onto lower gears longer instead of getting rid of gears 6, 7 and 8.. but i digress..)
my one gripe was the engine, the standard 4 banger turbo that seems to power 80% of all modern bmw's was perfectly fine on getting a decent amount of power when i needed it, and not terribly bad on turbo lag, though that was certainly was noticeable as well. the engine's real downside was this overwhelming feeling coming everywhere from the exhaust note squeezed through those turbos to the general slight buzziness of the engine at load that while it was efficiently and germanically carrying out your wishes from the go-pedal that perhaps it felt a little 'john kelly' like while doing it - job gets done, guy seems grumpy.
utility factor: 2 of 4 leathermans
having a hardtop that can greatly reduce wind noise when you can't have the top down is awesome. having one that can completely go up or down in a matter of like 20 seconds, also awesome. the little reduced trunk mini-area where you can actually store belongings if youre trying to not have it get in the way of the stowed top though.. that was a little small and less awesome. i suppose the small useable area comes with the territory on hardtop convertibles and unlike the miata, boxter and such, there is a set of useable back seats that can accommodate your junk that dont fit in the trunk.
the other minor issue is that while there's this neat insert that clips into mounting points at the backseat area and greatly reduces wind noise when the top is down, it also prevents you from storing people, dogs or groceries in that back seat, thereby affecting the utility of the thing... but hey.. can't win em all, right?
fun factor: 3.5 of 4 vegas weekends
smiles on the face all through these. don't need to say much more.
to quote one of my favorite motion picture characters: 'if you have the means, i highly recommend picking one up'. is it perfect? certainly not. is it cheap? no, but usually things from merkel-land don't tend to be. but that all aside, i would defnitely put this on the list of things that i'd probably actually get if i had the cash to do it. (though perhaps if i had even more cash i'd spring for the 440 and its extra pair of cylinders... hmm!)

Holy and loving Father, thank you for revealing your will in human words taught us by Jesus. Open my mind to understand Jesus' teaching more completely and open my heart to accept those words more willingly as I commit to live by Jesus' words in all that I do. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Richard Wagner (1813-1883) is the composer of the "Ring of the Nibelung." The Ring Cycle is based on Norse mythology and consists of four operas, Das Rheingold, Die Walkure, Siegfried, and Gotterdammerung. Using a system of leitmotifs, or musical themes, Wagner combines the drama and the music into one single dramatic idea.

Virtual Reality is an immersive simulation technique with a realistic feel of three-dimensional environment, which is created with preferred software's and hardware's. It provides an environment (real or imaginary) simulating a user's physical presence in such a way that it allows the user to interact with the VR world.
The virtual feel and experience of VR is achieved by tracking the user's motions, particularly the head and eye movements. It is an emerging technology and we looking for ways to incorporate this in the field of medical simulations.
The main application of VR in the field of medicine is to provide training to health professionals in order to improve their technical skills where it can eliminate the need of cadavers or mannequins. It also reduces the emotion-based skill variation through the use of real time clinical scenarios.

It's easy to figure WHY you would want photos of your newborn baby. These first few weeks of a baby's life are so completely and utterly new. You want to make sure to remember them, through the haze of doctor's appointments and all-night feedings. And often the iPhone photos don't really come close to capturing how you see your baby during that time. Not only that, but Mom and Dad somehow never make it into those photos (or, if they do, they look exhausted, which by the way, they are).
The truth is, Moms don't really feel very glamorous after giving birth. I know I didn't. But there's nothing more important than existing in these images. There are no two people more important in your baby's life than the parents.
And there is no better photograph than adoring parents holding their newborn baby in their arms.
And most importantly, I like to make sure that parents look good. I give them all the information they need to get ready. I style what they wear to not only reflect who they are, but to create images that won't look outdated in ten or twenty years. Each final photographs is fully retouched in Photoshop (because nobody needs to remember the under-eye circles). I provide gentle posing guidance. And most of all, I create a safe space so parents feel comfortable in front of the camera.
And I understand that not everyone will see the value in hiring a professional photographer for a newborn photo session. And that's okay. But if you're thinking of doing so... do your research, go with someone whose work you love, and most of all, make sure you're in those photographs too.

A big thank you to:
Chris Ethier- He's got lots of insurance and truly knows how to decorate that first and last corner. He also is very positive and has made chaos his friend, thusly, things have a habit of working out well when he is involved.
Michael Clapp- Irrepressible and ultra dependable. Cutting down trees that were in your way, ensuring the classes stay on track at the corner, setting up and taking down the course. Taking down the course is a buggy and lonely venture as everyone else is eating watermelon.
Rick Roy- He takes great photos and helps you stay on the course at the corner of more laps and finish. Plus he is a commissioner on the recreation board so he knows recreation and can somehow make sure it happens. As such, you not only have fun, but you recreate. Not possible without Rick.
William Cluster- Once again making great things happen. I'm not only talking about popsicles. The man has an uncanny ability to make you think you thought up something smart when it may have well have been him all along. Amazing talent. The Force is strong with this one.
James Stevens- If he isn't around, its not as much fun. He makes me laugh 10, 15, probably like 323 times a night.
Ryan Sinclair- He holds down the fort at the shop so Chris can string up all that tape and what not. Then he comes to the race and looks cool, knows stuff, does things and gets food.
Megan Healey- She made a whole human being last year. That's pretty amazing. He's cute too. I'm so glad I married this girl for many reasons but in this case I especially appreciate her registration skills. She brings a level of organizational prowess I do not posses. She is also killer on the binoculars, ensuring you are all accurately timed.
And it wouldn't be a race without racers and people who love them. The cheering was especially exuberant at the last race. I loved it.
We had a lot of younger folks in the mild class this year and that is ridiculously awesome. Parents racing with their children and children racing in general is the best part about this race. I fear that some day kids will not even realize there are great things happening all around them because their eyes will be glued to a portable screen. So kudos to all those who raced, because it isn't the easiest way to have fun. Like everything else in life, hard work is rewarding.
We will be racing next year as well. I'll keep you posted on the goings on. Think about subscribing to the blog, so you will be notified of new posts.
Thank you for racing.

Fall is finally here! Although, it still doesn't quite feel like it in most parts of the country, it's time to bring out the pumpkins! Here are some of our favorite porches to inspire your fall porch decor.
Nothing says fall quite like cornstalks, pumpkins, and mums. Head over to House of Hawthornes to check out the rest of this classic fall porch and get a closer look at that cute wreath!
Fall and farmhouse seem to go hand in hand. Seeking Lavendar Lane chose muted colors to complete the ascetic of her beautiful home! This porch decor could also be easily repurposed for other seasons, too.
Some of my favorite decor has been something I pulled together using items I already had lying around my home. I also used a few pieces of Indian corn to add some fall flair to my door. More on that over at Designers Sweet Spot.
This is a fun play on the classic choice of pumpkins and mums. Hymns & Verses used a more neutral palette for her decor, but accented it with the bright yellow mums. How fun!
What a cozy looking porch! Shaken Together Life used this fun chalkboard to list some of her favorite things about fall, we couldn't agree with her list more!
Here's another chalkboard that's giving us handwriting envy! The candles add such a warm feel especially on those cool fall nights. Check out the tutorial for that beautiful wreath over at Ella Claire Inspired.
If you're wanting something simple for your porch decor this year, Today's Creative Life might have the perfect solution! This DIY Corn Wreath could be a great solution for many years to come.
Living at the beach shouldn't keep you from decorating for fall! Sand Dollar Lane did a great job of incorporating fall decor into her costal farmhouse. What a perfect solution for those of you lucky enough to live at the beach!
Little Vintage Nest was able to decorate her porch with one trip to the pumpkin patch and some antiques she already owned! I love the creativity of using things she had to create a porch that felt like an extension of her home.
Some people live for Halloween! If all these muted pumpkins and mums are leaving you wanting something a bit more colorful, head over to Uncookie Cutter for some whimsical inspiration.
An Oregon Cottage shares some great tips + tricks on ways to think out of the box when it comes to your fall decor. She moves furniture around to create new spaces to appreciate the new season, and the result is beautiful!
Here is a simple idea for those of you who are wanting to do something different this year! 2 Bees in a Pod created such a cozy sitting area on her porch this season, it seems like the perfect place for some warm cider and a good book while the sun sets.
Who says garland is just for Christmas? Not Our Southern Home! She also suggests using a mixture of real pumpkins and fake to save some money. It's nice to have something to use again next year!
Tara over at Lehman Lane shares her pretty fall porch with us. She also created a super cute concrete pumpkin! You'll definitely want to check that out.
Feeling the need for some DIY in your future? Tips From a Typical Mom shares a great tutorial complete with photos on how to create this beautiful wooden sign! Sometimes the simplest decor can be the best.
Are you ready for fall yet? I'm ready for some cooler sweater weather and a bonfire! Let us know if you're inspired to decorate your own porch by these beautiful ideas.
Remember to pin this post for later!

Web Radio
Canterbury Sans Frontieres #62
We at Gonzo Web Radio are very proud to bring you Canterbury Sans Frontières - a podcast dedicated to the music of the 'Canterbury Scene' and more. Creator Matthew Watkins writes:
As with Canterbury Soundwaves , a new three-hour episode will be released with each full moon. I decided to wind down Canterbury Soundwaves so that I didn't end up
(i) repeating myself
(ii) scraping the bottom of the Canterbury barrel, or
(iii) becoming increasingly tangential.
This new podcast broadens the musical remit, so it'll be about one-third 'Canterbury sound', together with progressive/psychedelic/experimental music from the Canterbury of today, the remainder being a mix of music from various times and places which I feel to be in a similar spirit of creative adventurousness. I'll be doing a lot less talking, and the programme will be less expository – so no interviews, barely listenable bootlegs, etc. I also plan to include guest one-hour mixes from various musicians from the current music scene in Canterbury (Episode 2 features a mix from Neil Sullivan from Lapis Lazuli).
And for those of you who wonder what Matthew was referring to when he writes about Canterbury Soundwaves we have brought you all the back catalogue of that as well. Those wacky guys at Gonzo, eh?
Soft Machine live in Brussels in 1971, Kevin Ayers and the Whole World playing a highly unusual "We Did It Again" in 1970, the Hatfield and the North "big band" lineup in the spring of 1974, Hugh Hopper soundchecking with Phil Miller, Didier Malherbe and friends in 2007, and live in Amsterdam in 1991 with his Franglo-Dutch Band. Gong sounding rather "musique concrète" on the radio in 1973, Steve Hillage and Miquette Giraudy live in '77, Lindsay Cooper's music being played live in London and Germany this summer, and a home recording of Mike Ratledge playing piano standards in the early 60s. Also, something from the recently released "lost" John Coltrane album, something else from Kavus Torabi's solo EP, Hawkwind sounding fabulous live in 1990 and Tokyo's the De Lorians live in the studio this spring. From the Canterbury of recent times another track from the new Nelson Parade EP, an old favourite from the 2012 Boot Lagoon EP and an hour of Arlet live in the woods near town last summer.

Benidorm to Altea is a nice day out, not just for the beach but also it's stunning Spanish charm.
Just a short bus ride from Benidorm, Altea has a stunning backdrop of mountains and just like Benidorm, it's very own micro climate.
Altea is the complete opposite of Benidorm, you have that authentic Spanish feel to the town, and although visited by many tourists, it still has that Spanish vibe that you may not find in the Benidorm New Town.
There are plenty of shops to visit when you have a Benidorm to Altea day trip.
A great selection of restaurants and bars with plenty of Spanish cuisine to sample.
One of the most popular attractions in Altea is the Virgin de Consuelo. This church, you cannot miss with it's Blue dome top, has stunning views overlooking Altea.
Along Altea promenade, which has recently been built and still has that 'new' feel to it, there are a range of bars, hotels and restaurants.
It's nice walk along here and at the end you reach a small port with excellent views over the Mediterranean Sea.
Benidorm to Altea by Bus
Getting to Altea from Benidorm is very easy. The buses coming to Altea will have Altea on the front and the bus driver will also let you know when you are there if you ask him, although most passengers on this route get off at Altea.

"Do you like to work?"
That question launched a 30-year career at Wallside Windows for Dave Ball. The answer was yes, and the proof is in the windows.
Ball began his career July 6, 1987 at Wallside Windows as a window builder. Over three decades, his character and dedication led to one promotion after another. There's hardly a job Dave hasn't done, from screen builder to installation manager to plant manager. Today, Ball works as operations manager and makes sure the entire process runs smoothly. And later this month, he'll proudly watch his one-millionth window roll off the factory line since taking on that role.
Talking to Ball's coworkers and colleagues, his dedication to Wallside Windows is clear.
"Dave is the kind of guy that you could call at 3 o'clock in the morning, and he'd take care of the problem," said Stanford Blanck, co-owner of Wallside Windows and son of the company's founder Martin Blanck. "He's a very loyal, responsible person."
Ball left his job as a restaurant manager to work for Wallside Windows back when the company was still headquartered in Detroit. He first heard about the opportunity from his brother-in-law, Bill Eldred, who works as a factory representative at Wallside.
Family is very important to Ball, a Taylor resident, husband and father of two daughters.
"Dave is a family man. He loves his wife and daughters more than anything on this earth, and he loves spending time with them," said Correen Eldred, Ball's sister-in-law and Wallside's processing coordinator. "Dave isn't too much different in his personal life than he is at work. He is trustworthy, loyal, fair, honest and funny."
Scott Sinclair, maintenance supervisor at Wallside Windows, agreed. "Dave is very family oriented, and he transfers that to all the Wallside employees," Sinclair said, adding that Ball is "always willing to listen to employees and talk with them to try and resolve whatever is needed."
Ball has been known to show up at the factory on his days off to make sure everything is running smoothly.
"He will always go the extra mile for Wallside, and he appreciates the opportunities the company has given him," added Correen Eldred.
In the 30 years since Ball began his career at Wallside Windows, the company has experienced significant growth. The service area has grown, its factory has relocated and expanded, and both the windows and the process used to manufacture them have become more high-tech. Ball has been instrumental in these and other aspects of the company's growth, said Adam Blanck, chief of staff and son of Co-owner Stanford Blanck, particularly when it comes to the windows themselves.
"Dave makes sure that the product we put out every day is top of the line," said Adam Blanck.
While much has changed at Wallside Windows over 30 years, the company's core values — manufacturing high-quality, affordable replacement windows and treating employees and customers like family — have stayed the same. And Ball is a living example of those values, his colleagues said.
"Dave exudes the family values of Wallside, said Mike Connell, plant manager at Cardinal Glass Industries, Wallside's glass supplier. "At its core, the essence of the Wallside Windows' family is commitment, trust, and communication. Dave models these characteristics at Wallside daily."
Happy 30th Anniversary, Dave Ball!

The Journal is happy to announce that Heather Spaulding is joining the Journal as a part-time reporter and office manager.
Spaulding was born in Bellingham, but she became an island girl when she moved to Friday Harbor with her family, at the age of six.
She graduated from Friday Harbor High School in 1990, and like most of her classmates, she was often heard exclaiming how she couldn't wait to leave, how boring the island life was.
She attended Evergreen State University in Olympia, Wash., with most of her credits being in history and literature. Evergreen is a somewhat alternative college, and does not hand out letter grades, and does not make students declare majors and minors.
To her surprise, by the time she received her bachelor of arts, she found she missed her home, island life, and found herself moving back in 1994.
Always an animal and wildlife lover, her first job was with Friends of the San Juans as a public outreach coordinator. If she was going to make this place her home, she wanted to do what she could to protect it.
Protecting it meant the people in it as well the environment, so she became an active volunteer for Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services, as well as joining Soroptimist International of Friday Harbor. She has held an array of jobs over the years, and is owner of Tiger Eye Legal Services.
She has always loved to write, and journalism combines her love of investigating with her passion for words. Heather is excited to join the team at the Journal of the San Juans!
To contact her about news stories, community events or any questions you can call 378-5696 or email email@example.com.

Kings Blog
How Kings rallied from 16 down, without their starting backcourt, to beat 76ers
After a game off for rest, Zach Randolph scores 27 points in a win at Philadelphia
The Kings trailed by 16 in the third quarter with their starting backcourt out for the game.
Perfect time to mentally check out and get ready for Wednesday night's game at Brooklyn, right?
That didn't happen.
The Kings showed resolve and used a dominant fourth quarter to knock off the Philadelphia 76ers 101-95 Tuesday night at Wells Fargo Center to sweep the season series, 2-0.
Sacramento's defensive intensity was noticeably higher in the final frame, when the Kings outscored the 76ers 30-19 and Philadelphia shot 5 of 19.
Zach Randolph led the Kings (10-20) with 27 points. Off the bench, Buddy Hield had 24 points and Frank Mason III had 16 points. The Kings forced 20 turnovers that led to 21 points, helping them overcome a 53-39 rebounding disadvantage.
The Kings were shorthanded in the backcourt. George Hill missed the game due to illness. De'Aaron Fox (right thigh) exited at halftime. He missed Sunday's game at Toronto with a bruised right thigh.
The Sixers (14-16) were without center Joel Embiid (back).
Here are three takeaways from the game:
Randolph restores order
Randolph's importance was magnified in the third quarter. Facing a 16-point deficit, Randolph simply refused to let the Kings get blown out and went to work for 10 of his points in the period.
Randolph is the Kings' run stopper because he can be relied on to get a quality shot.
He sat out Sunday's game at Toronto for rest and the Kings missed the stability the 16-year veteran adds.
The bench was back
Thanks to Hield and Mason, the Kings' bench again was the source of energy it has been for most of the season.
In Sunday's loss at Toronto, the lack of juice from the second unit was noticeable, especially given how much more zip Toronto's bench players had.
With the backcourt injuries piling up Tuesday, the Kings needed all they could get from their reserves.
You never know who might be needed
Malachi Richardson had only played in 13 games this season, and most of those appearances were brief.
But the second-year guard was playing important minutes in the fourth quarter Tuesday as the Kings had to continue to adjust the lineup due to injuries.
It's cliché to say everyone who is active has to be ready to play at any moment. But this season, it's true.

(Originally written December 27th, Updated like an hour ago)
Oh Django where do we start…I enjoyed myself so I guess I could start there and end there but…
"Django Unchained" is more pop art than social document but I don't think it was Tarantino's intentions to make anything more than what it is. Hence the apprehension from most black folk (including me) when approaching the film. The idea that someone would turn a historical tragedy which still has lingering effects today into a piece of entertainment for popular consumption seems at first disgusting and exploitative. (I'll get this out of the way now though the word "nigger" is the least interesting discussion point of the film. We'll come back to this later. )
But I believe the reason why Spike said he wouldn't see it as well as other blacks was due to the idea this director would not & could not treat the subject with the reverence it deserves. However, after seeing it, "Django" in it's best moments it provides a safe entry point to view the horrors of slavery & indeed offers some subversive commentary even I wasn't expecting, but at it's worst and most problematic it undercuts the severity of its material due to Tarantino's stylized narrative form becoming more of a caricature of his earlier films.
At times (particularly the 1st third of the the film) it felt as if I were watching a live action cartoon nearly prompting me to walk out. After Jackie Brown, the way Tarantino treats violence, even racial naked black ass whipping violence, has been so stylized to the point it removes you from the reality or severity of what's actually happening. This distancing exonerates the audience (black,white, etc.) of the historical weightiness of slavery.
I didn't find it disrespectful but more so annoying. Also it must be noted the formal break in Tarantino's aesthetic from "Jackie Brow"n to" Kill Bill" signified a change in how he treats his "villains". Ever noticed how they're almost all comically polite? (Bill, Kurt Russel in "Death Proof", and now Calvin Candy) Save for maybe Bill they never seem quite real.
Here, I find this problematic because every slave owner depicted, from their costuming and even their naming, separates them from the historical reality making them seem more cartoonish and less human thus the audience is able to distance themselves and simply laugh off these corny forghorn leghorn esque motherfuckers. Only in a Tarantino film would a slave owner be named "Calvin Candy" or Big Daddy" and have his "nigger girls" call him that repeatedly.
The word nigger occurs roughly 110 times. I only had a problem with this about 5 times when it seemed to be spoken out of character or context within a scene.
But on to the good and surprisingly profound stuff. I read my girl @DeolaCola (follow her on Twitter for funny insight on the music industry and such) referred to Django as a bildungsroman which is really a supped of word for "coming of age" tale. I see how one could come to that conclusion but I'd have to disagree. Django is an epic like the Iliad or Odyssey in which Jamie is an archetype. He doesn't develop morally or psychologically past the first hour of the nearly 3 hr long film. It's pretty trill seeing a black face in habit an Eastwood "Man with No Name" esque role. That's really dope considering the fact that historically westerns have ignored not only slavery but black people in general, save for Native Americans standing in as "savages".
Where the film really shines is when it plays upon the spaghetti western genre's tropes while finding a dialectical synthesis with its setting's historical brutality. Specifically i'm recalling the Mandingo fighting scene. It's not hyped up with music or stylized camera moves. And, for me, this moment is probably the most harrowing depiction of the pre war south I've ever seen on screen. When Tarantino stops trying so got damn hard to be hip or thrill you, Django really weighs in heavy.
Outside of the "love" story which is truly motivated by revenge, I found the thesis of the film has more to do with emergence or announcement of a black hero. (Consider the reoccurring line from Candy and Django predicting Jamie as a "1 in 10,000 nigger"). A hero who dons and uses his "blackness" as a threat to a white patriarchal power structure That's some shit people of all races really need to see.
What's more impressive is that this is done without pushing Django into the "buck" stereotype like Shaft or other blaxploitation pics in which Django also has roots. And this heroic blackness is heightened by the use of surprising yet well placed rap songs. Honestly one of my favorite cinematic moments of this year was provided when Pac is heard rapping "Hard to kill a nigga cause I'm comin back like Jesus" while Jamie shoots the fuck out of slave owners. Sidebar: Jamie said he listened to Biggie's "Dead Wrong" on set before they did the action scenes. It shows.
But this admiration of the black hero is echoed in what is probably the most humane moment I've seen in a Tarantino film since Beatrix Kiddo hugged her daughter's stuffed animal in the bathroom weeping in joy. Early on Jamie's character has to pretend to be a black slave trader. While in this role a slave looks upon him with disarming disgust. This same slave is shown again in the 3rd act after Django kills their captors and frees a few horses from their reins (a little subtle symbolism and shit). The slave's eyes water in pride watching this black man, once a slave, ride off as a hero. Whoever played that fucking slave deserves a nomination of some sorts cause that moment was on the level of Denzel's single tear in "Glory" trickling down his cheek. Moving.
One more thing though. Something that may have went unnoticed by those who've seen it and certainly surprised the fuck out of me…in a good way. This is not a spoiler so don't worry. There's a moment in the 3rd act when Django is about to be castrated (last side bar I promise but it's amazing Tarantino can get away with showing a dick in a western but Steve Mcqueen gets an NC-17 Rating when showing the true horrors of sex addiction in Shame and you don't even really see a dick in it)…so Jamie's hanging upside down and Sam Jackson delivers a subversively profound monologue abouta fate worst than death for a slave. He says the emasculation via castration is not a suitable punishment for a black man who's caused this much trouble. He then proceeds to speak on the oncoming new form of slavery, the prison industrial complex. He tells Django we're not gonna kill you but "strip away your name, give you a serial number and a sledgehammer" and get you to work in a mine and forgotten about until the day you die. It's even more harrowing considering this is THE ONLY MOMENT in the film the 4th wall is broken. It appears Sam is speaking to Jamie but he's staring directly into the camera telling us about this new punishment for black men. Literally gave me chills. Not sure if Tarantino knew exactly what he was intimating but considering the shot selection/camera placement, it played like an omen.
I had apprehensions going into "Django Unchaind" and it confirmed some of my expectations and subverted others. In it's best moments it provides a new vision for a black hero and in its worse succumbs to vapid pop art sentiments. I fucks with 2/3rds of it though. One final note tho I'm curious why he took out the rape scene that was in the script and actually filmed. Not that I lust for it but it would've alleviated some of that cartoonish shit in the beginning and grounded the narrative in the horrible reality of its context.
If anyone else asks about "Django Unchained " just tell em it's a prequel to "Wild Wild West". And for those who still don't want to see the film, it's all good. Just wait for "Twelve Years A Slave" coming Fall 2013.

With so many different potential aspects listed for why companies should pick up cloud technology, it could muddy the waters if not made clear what benefits are needed for which type of business.
Not everyone needs a multi-hybrid cloud approach, and not all need bespoke solutions tailored to every need. But, despite the good things each of these approaches can bring, they can sound complicated and costly. Recent research with CIOs and IT Managers suggests that the biggest concern is the costs of these new cloud solutions. 37% of respondents said this was their number one problem, followed by security.
In many ways, this is not surprising because if they cannot get new cloud opportunities past existing budgets, it can be hard to clear even if digital optimisations mean long-term cost savings. Many analysts now say the best way to do this is to ensure that companies are aware of the return of investment (ROI) for what they are installing. Otherwise, there is little way to measure the effectiveness of what they are putting in, and indeed what may be needed to improve on it.
Some of the latest theories show the only way to do this is to monitor what new cloud environments are adapted, and if there are any changes to old ones. There also needs to be a way to track user services and what applications are being used, so better insight can be taken from it. That way, costs should become more predictable.

Hell on Wheels
The phrase "Hell on Wheels" was originally used to describe the itinerant collection of flimsily assembled gambling houses, dance halls, saloons, and brothels that followed the army of Union Pacific railroad workers westward as they constructed the First Transcontinental Railroad in 1860s North America. The huge numbers of wage-earning young men working in what was a remote wilderness, far from the constraints of home, proved to be a lucrative opportunity for those with expertise at separating such men from their money. As the end of the line continually moved westward, Hell on Wheels followed along, reconstructing itself on the outskirts of each town that became, in turn, the center of activity for the Union Pacific's construction work.
In 1869, the use of the term "Hell on Wheels" to describe the phenomenon was documented by Springfield, Massachusetts Republican newspaper editor Samuel Bowles. [1]
In popular culture
John Ford's silent film The Iron Horse (1924) portrayed an idealized image of Hell on Wheels.
AMC's television drama series, Hell On Wheels (which premiered in November 2011), centers on the settlement that accompanied the construction of First Transcontinental Railroad, consisting of the Union Pacific company men, surveyors, support workers, laborers, prostitutes, mercenaries, and others who make the mobile encampment their home, beginning in 1865 in Season 1 and 1867 in Season 3.[2][3]

Learning how to budget your clothing dollars can be a little trying at times. It's important to keep in mind to not spend a lot of money on items that you are only going to wear once. There are so many trends coming out back to back and you can't buy them all. Look at your wardrobe as an investment and no one wants to make a bad investment. I am not saying you can't buy trendy pieces, just spend less or create the trend from items you already own in your closet. Also, you don't have to jump on board with every fashion trend.
If you want to splurge occasionally, go for it! Since becoming self-employed, I don't splurge as much as I used to but I am good at shopping bargains on pricey clothing items and finding sales! I recently shopped rachelroy.com and found some amazing items on sale! Their clothing has excellent quality so even without a sale, they are worth the prices. When I think of Rachel Roy clothing, I think of the day-to-day lifestyle of women. The collections cover all of your styling needs from work to play. I have been shopping this brand for a few years now and with every purchase, I have been happy.
The denim overall dress I am wearing was purchased a few years ago from her website. I got it on sale for an unbelievable price! This was one of those "I've Got To Have It" buys, so I couldn't leave it behind. I am wearing it with a linen tee from Old Navy. I will be able to wear this dress all year round and that's what makes it a great investment. In the fall/winter, I can layer with a turtleneck, jacket, and boots. I feel like my money will go a long way with this great buy. I will have this timeless dress for many years to come.
Below, all items I am wearing with my dress were purchased on sale. All items are by Michael Kors. My leather bag was only $169 at Marshalls. The sandals I got off eBay for $69 and the belt was $20 at Ross. I don't consider any of these items trendy, but my outfit is definitely fashion-forward and stylish.

There was a time as a young boy when I thought wearing an eye patch would be cool. Eye patches, I thought, provided an aura of mystery around the wearer. Why did they have the eye patch? What exactly is it covering?
Of course, now I think they look horribly uncomfortable, and I really appreciate the depth perception that two eyes gives me. I'm not about to start wearing any pirate themed outfits to work.
But I do have a physical defect that gives me a similar mysterious vibe. I have a missing toenail.
Okay, so maybe missing toenails don't provide the same mystery that eye patches have, especially since I have to take off my shoes and point out to people that my toenail is missing. I did this at a family gathering recently, nearby the food table. Needless to say, my family members were not as impressed as I thought they could be.
My missing toenail came as a result of moving an old coffee table out of our shed while I was barefoot. I slid it right into my toenail, and it snapped in half. I bandaged it up, and a week or so later it looked like the broken half had reattached. But another week after that the whole darn thing fell off.
The funny thing about it was that Preston, my fellow writer here at The Press, also lost a toenail. He lost his just a few days after mine because he wore a too-tight cleat while playing softball. I offered to start a club of those with missing toenails, but he declined my offer. I guess the aura of mystery such a club might offer was too much for him.
I don't mind missing that toenail. It was a weird toenail. Like Preston's toenail, this toenail had been rubbed thin by too-tight athletic shoes I wore many years ago. But it didn't come off because of the shoes. Instead it became thicker and bumpier than average. If my toenails were to all go to a dinner party, that one would have not been invited. If my toenails were the Fantastic Four, er, Fantastic Ten, that toenail would be the one that was made out of a rock.
I wasn't too sad to see it go. It's a about halfway grown back now. Let's hope that it's a better, stronger toenail this time around.
Thanks for reading!

We come to everything with preconceived notions and then life challenges our known ideas with chaos. Periods of transition and upheaval create cathartic opportunities for change. Through suffering and the resultant broken places, something new is formed out of the ashes of the past.
This work represents a cognitive shift, a choice to amplify my awareness in seemingly ordinary moments. I find myself carefully observing objects in the natural world with reverence, almost coming to believe the cosmos has placed such objects in my path to deepen my experience with the resonance of their simple existence. I bring the object into the studio, removing it from its original context, photograph the subject, then through post-production, shatter the image; rearranging the millions of shards and remaining forms.
Crucible is about a defining moment and the emergence of something new. It is about bringing a dark and imperfect order to chaos, soothing anxiety through the use of symmetry, repetition, geometric and biomorphic design. As a trained film photographer, this work challenges my devotion to purity, forcing me to reconsider and embrace the changing technological flexibility of my field and confront the ideological boxes of the photographic medium.

Home to some of Canada's most stunning sceneries, Alberta has got it all – from vast prairies and magnificent mountains, to awe-inspiring canyons and spectacular turquoise lakes. This western Canadian region has something to offer for all kinds of travellers, with its two major cities bustling with excitement at every turn.
It is no surprise, then, that over 35 million people explored the province in 2016, reports the Global News. With attractions showcasing both the beauty of nature and awe-inspiring manmade structures, travelling to Alberta is an opportunity you cannot miss. Here are five things you should do in this magnificent region.
In 1883, three railway workers discovered a natural hot spring, according to the National Geographic. Little did they know that the greater area would be declared Canada's first national park in 1885, and a UNESCO heritage site in 1984. Home to some of the world's most beautiful unspoiled ecosystems, the Banff National Park spans a region of unparalleled majestic mountain terrain, magnificent lakes, numerous glaciers and ice fields, thick coniferous forests, and spectacular alpine landscapes.
A major year-round attraction in the Banff National Park is the Banff Upper Hot Springs. Take a dip into warm and soothing mineral waters while marveling at the spectacular scenery of the park. In the summer, tourists enjoy Banff's many hiking trails or rent canoes to paddle through glacier-fed Moraine Lake and picturesque Lake Louise. On the other hand, travellers flock to Banff National Park in the winter for downhill and cross-country skiing.
The critically acclaimed War for the Planet of the Apes, the latest in the Planet of the Apes franchise, shot most of its scenes in Canada, according to the Atlas of Wonders. The hugely successful film reboot series has grossed over $2 billion worldwide, spawning merchandising tie-ins and adaptions in books, toys, and comics. Even in gaming, the franchise has inspired Planet of the Apes mobile slot titles on popular platforms such as the UK-based Slingo, amidst a variety of other games that have popped up online to help promote the franchise.
After slipping out of Banff's upper hot springs, pay a visit to the magnificent Banff Springs Hotel, where some of the film's exciting scenes took place. Other parts of the film were shot in the mountains of the Kananaskis Range, which are home to bighorn sheep, mountain goats, grizzly bears, and black bears.

Good morning, RVA! It's 53 °F, and highs in the 80s mean another beautiful day ahead of you.
Water cooler
Yesterday, I wrote about Councilwoman Grey's proposed Scott's Addition bike and pedestrian path and how, in her own words, the "number one goal is to have a walkable, bikeable space." Today, unfortunately, there's this piece in the Richmond Times-Dispatch by Mark Robinson about a press conference she held in opposition to a bus stop and part of the new bus network redesign. The redesign, which you can check out on this sweet-looking new system map (PDF), sends two hourly routes and one 30-minute route past a single block of Grace Street. Setting aside all the classic reasons folks use to argue for removing bus stops and service from their neighborhoods (my favorite is that 60 buses per day is a lot of buses—I live in a spot that sees 70 buses per day and when you miss your bus it is an interminable amount of time until the next one shows up), I do think it's important to remember, in bold lettering, that City Council does not have the authority to alter bus stops or routes. This has been true since July 22nd, 2013 when Council adopted ORD. 2013-144 (PDF). You can imagine a million and one scenarios where having Council in charge of bus stops is bad news bears, but, specifically, allowing folks with access, privilege, and political power to circumvent good transit policy for what usually boils down to NIMBY concerns is really, really dangerous. GRTC can't design a useful, city-wide public transportation system—something critical to the life of our city—if a single block of homeowners can disrupt the entire thing. Anyway, as for this particular situation, it sounds like GRTC has a couple of tweaks they're looking at and will pass them through their regular, non-political process at some point after the launch of the new system on June 24th.
Patron Matthew alerted me to this list of public outreach opportunities Richmond Public Schools has posted as part of their process to rename J.E.B. Stuart Elementary School. In addition to some public meetings, the first of which is tonight at J.E.B. Stuart Elementary from 6:00 – 8:00 PM, there's a form for you to suggest new names for the school. Like...just a wide-open box into which you can type whatever you want, anything at all. I feel bad for the person who's responsibility it will be to cull and collate those responses. P.S. Patron Matthew posted this in the Good Morning, RVA Slack, which is open to all patrons!
Here's a neat request for proposals that found its way into my inbox: The Monroe Park Conservancy is looking for a vendor to manage the concessions (PDF) for the Checkers House within the newly renovated Monroe Park. This is an interesting RFP! The Conservancy wants to see healthy food options for park visitors—no less than 25% of the total menu, which does however still leave room for a significant number of hot dog options. If this sounds like something you'd be interested in—and I can think of a bunch of folks I'd love to see run a park concession stand—you've got until May 18th to send in your letter of intent.
The 2018 Cap2Cap bike ride takes place this coming Saturday, which means you have just a couple more days to register. I know, I know, the idea of riding a bicycle all the way from Richmond to Williamsburg feels daunting, but don't worry! There are options as short as a 15-mile fun ride—no excuses!
Also on the bike tip: Across the City today it is Bike to School Day. If, this morning, you choose to transport yourself in a motor vehicle please, please, please pay extra attention as there may be a bunch of additional kids in the neighborhood riding their bikes to school. Then, next time you drive around, remember how much attention you paid this morning and always do that.

On a Hill in Alabama, the Lynched Haunt Us
The National Lynching Memorial sounds incredible, and this telling of its opening by Jamil Smith is worth your time.
Dusk had fallen in Montgomery by the time the music started last Friday night, but the Alabama River still shone brightly behind the stage. The former superhighway for the slave trade, snaking its way through downtown, was now little more than an artificially illuminated backdrop for black excellence. It barely seemed to flow at all, as if the ghosts of slavers who once captained its waters were now trapped there by their sins, lying there tonight unmoved by the beats, flows and exclamations of the thousands along the riverbank. Or perhaps, I'd like to think, the other apparitions residing in the great Alabama – the ones who might look more like me, if we could see them – were simply holding the river still, themselves arrested by the joyful noises. For once, the literal spotlight was on them and their descendants. Alongside a river where black people were once sold as property, there was now a revel in our names.
If you'd like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol' Patreon.

Welcome! This is a website/blog for the newly-formed Miami Valley Knitting Guild. We are a group of knitters (and crocheters!) who have joined together in the interest of furthering our skills in a warm and open environment. It doesn't matter if you are a master knitter or haven't yet learned how to cast on – come join us for some fun.
We are affiliated with The Knitting Guild Association. As an affiliated Guild member, you will receive a copy of the TKGA quarterly newsletter, "Swatches." We hope to have educational opportunities, not only for our friendly knitters in our individual knitting groups, but also by reaching out to the community.
The location, date and time of the first meeting will be posted in this forum before the end of the week. That first meeting will be during the first week of March and will be scheduled for evening hours. You can pay your dues at that meeting if you choose.
The members that have already paid dues were the people that were at a local knitting group when someone said, "Gee…wouldn't it be neat to form a knitting guild?" And then someone else said "Terrific idea!" And then we said "Let's form a group on Ravelry to see if there is any interest," and then within 24 hours, there were over 100 that expressed interest. Has anyone read the children's book: If You Give a Mouse a Cookie? That's sort of what has been happening the last few days!
There is already a very well populated MVKG group on Ravelry.com (a wonderful resource for any and every knitter or crocheter). Stop by, join our group and have fun discussing the formation of this knitting guild; pick up a tip or two; choose a great new pattern; or find out about that yarn that you are interested in buying; and much, much more!
Link to our Facebook group: MVKG Facebook requires admin approval on all requests to join a group. Just ask to join and as soon as we see the request, you will be approved.
We look forward to the day ahead when we can get to know each other, share our passion for knitting (and crocheting, I'm determined not to leave you out!), and learn together!

Victory in the New York State primary seems to have all but clinched the Democratic nomination for Hillary Clinton. I won't be surprised if this week's quintet of Northeast primaries puts Donald Trump so close to the top as to diminish the suspense surrounding the Republican convention.
So it is an auspicious time for Alter Egos: Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and the Twilight Struggle over American Power (Random House, 2016), by Mark Landler, to appear. The magazine of The New York Times published a scoop on April 24, under the headline, "How Hillary became a hawk." The story says:
"Throughout her career she has displayed instincts on foreign policy that are more aggressive than those of President Obama — and most Democrats.''
The article, at least, reads like a campaign document, consisting mainly of vignettes that have been fed to the journalist: Clinton pivoting towards the center in preparation for the general election. "We've got to run it up the gut," she exclaims to her aides after China warns against sending an aircraft carrier into the Yellow Sea to protest North Korean actions.
When visiting Fort Drum, in upstate New York, for the first time as a newly elected senator, she sits down, takes off her shoes, puts her feet on the coffee table, and asks, "General, do you know where a gal can get a cold beer around here?"
She reads "cover to cover" the counterinsurgency field manual General David Petraeus has given her
She befriends and receives the (qualified) endorsement of retired four-star Gen. John M. "Jack" Keane, Fox news military analyst and promoter of the Iraq "surge."
And when reporter Landler surfaces a striking disagreement with former U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan Karl Eikenberry (and for two years previously U.S. commander there), a Clinton aide volunteers, "She likes the nail-eaters, [Stanley] McChrystal, Petraeus, Keane – real military guys, not these retired three-stars who go into civilian jobs."
Landler writes:
"As Hillary Clinton makes another run for president, it can be tempting to view her hard-edged rhetoric about the world less as deeply felt core principle than as calculated political maneuver. But Clinton's foreign-policy instincts are bred in the bone — grounded in cold realism about human nature and what one aide calls "a textbook view of American exceptionalism." It set her apart from her rival-turned-boss, Barack Obama, who avoided military entanglements and tried to reconcile Americans to a world in which the United States was no longer the undisputed hegemon. And it will likely set her apart from the Republican candidate she meets in the general election. For all their bluster about bombing the Islamic State into oblivion, neither Donald J. Trump nor Senator Ted Cruz of Texas have demonstrated anywhere near the appetite for military engagement abroad that Clinton has.''
The book itself will be useful in the event Clinton becomes president, as seems increasingly likely. Whether she is a neo-con or liberal hawk or a conservative internationalist is an open question. In the interval, however, better to read America's War for the Greater Middle East: a Military History (Random House, 2016), by Andrew Bacevich, a scathing assessment of US military policy since 1980.

mօney blog can you make money from bⅼogging Top entrepreneur blogs how to make money From blogging Learn Time Management Ӏ think tһat if we all for one day decіded to stop and write down where every minute of our day waѕ being spent, we would be shocked at how much of our day was being wasted. Whether it be playing games, checking ouг emails to many times a day, obsessively chеcking traffic and affiliɑte stats, or msn.
You also need tօ know that thеre are a lot of alternatives to blogging thɑt аre very similar. If you can make up your mind to only bⅼog on a few tһіngs that you are passionate about then eventuallү you wiⅼl see a top travel bⅼog sites .
Fine, but realize that if you want your blog to gain any kind of popᥙlarity, you'll need loyal readers and lots of traffic. You cɑn attract readers by posting interеsting stuff on a continuous basis. A blog is a major commitment becausе you have to ҝeep posting fresh contеnt. ρopular blog sites know this and are dedicated to always finding sߋmething to talk about. Ӏf you feel you can't do this, then maybe ɑ blog isn't the right choice for you. It can be a major drag when you feel like you just can't come up with some unique content.
Ⲛonetheless, the bіggest payback from blog farming comes when top bᥙsiness bl᧐gѕ generate feedback from cliеnts. Everyone іn small business should actively seek feedbɑck from clients and potential clients, Ƅut 10 most popular blogs entreрreneurs fail to do this consistently. Direct mail is not a medium that mɑkes it easy for people to respond. However, top ƅusiness blogs are a perfect platform for getting instant feeԁback.
It's estimated that there'ѕ 115 Million blogs online, and let's face it, 10 most popᥙlar blogs of them suck. Not to be too harѕh, but it's just a reality . The ѕad part iѕ, having a high traffic, lead grabbing Ƅlog really isn't that hard, it's just a matter of applying effective principles over a perіod of time. Տounds easy, right? The pгoЬlem is, most of the most followed blogs in tһe worlⅾ don't have the knowledge.

I took a poll on IG stories recently about the western boot trend that's hit us hard this fall. 2/3 of you weren't sold on the idea but I'm here to show you that a little western goes a long way. And let me tell you why I like this trend (aside from the fact that I grew up riding horses and wore Wranglers and Justin Boots at the barn): it's REALLY wearable. In fact, you probably already have a pair of western inspired boots back in the depths of your closet. The boot that put Isabel Marant on the mainstream map ( you remember–the boots that launched 1 million knock-offs), the 'Dicker' boot, is back and there are still dupes galore. Even though this trend is cycling back through after 6ish years, that seems like a lifetime ago…before 'influencers' were everywhere and Pinterest was still new. When searching the interwebs for boots to inspire you, I had an epiphany that I like this trend because it's familiar and safe. Sometimes we just need that feeling in our life, you know?
You can go full-on cowgirl with knee-high boots or you can get booties that have a touch of western – either way, I have a feeling you'll like this trend more than you think.
