Spotlight: Mexico City (Distrito Federal)
Spotlight Since launching, we've seen Instagram spread from our headquarters in the Bay Area to every corner of the globe. In this series we highlight Instagrammers from countries and cities with thriving communities.
In 2010, the Greater Mexico City population exceeded 20.1 million people, making the Federal District—known locally as the Distrito Federal or D.F.—the largest metropolitan area in the western hemisphere. The city was originally built by the Aztecs in 1325 atop an island in Lake Texcoco. The lake was drained starting from the 17th century and although none of the water remains, the city rests on the lake bed's heavily saturated clay.
From the ruins of Teotihuacan to the city's Plaza de la Constitución, or Zócalo, one of the largest public plazas in the world, there's no shortage of scenes to capture in Mexico's capital. To see those sights through the lens of locals, be sure to follow these Instagrammers:

Stick with RugbyHeaven tonight and tomorrow with reports from Georgina Robinson in Dunedin and analysis by Paul Cully.
That's it, thanks for reading.
Positives for Australia
Quade Cooper was outstanding. His defence held up and he played flat creating space for his runners with short balls, loop passes and cut-out balls. This is the sort of rugby that Bill Pulver wanted the Wallabies to play when Ewen McKenzie was given the job.
Matt Toomua was good too. McKenzie has a tough job with Lealiifano back, but the Cooper-Toomua partnership worked well.
Tevita Kuridrani has a barnstorming second-half and it looks a possible long-term No.13.
Israel Folau still has a lot to work on but he can bust a tackle and he still does things on the field that others cannot.
The scrum at worst held its own. They may have even shaded the All Blacks.
Stephen Moore aside, there is not enough impact from the starting tight five.
The breakdown. Both New Zealand and South Africa have touched Australia up in the close collisions. Argentina did a similar job in Perth. If McKenzie can get this aspect of the game, the Wallabies will be far more dangerous.
Overall, progress is being made, but there is still a significant gap to the All Blacks.
That was a very entertaining game and the Wallabies walk away with a lot of credit. But no one should kid themselves, since Savea crossed in the 10th min the All Blacks were always in control on the scoreboard.
81st min: Folau makes another bust and he puts clever grubber through, the ball bounces up for Foley knocks-on. Savea counter-attacks and with a big run. The Wallabies get the ball and counter-attack again. But eventually the ball is knocked on and that's it. Fulltime.
80th min: Folau makes another break and he offload to Kepu who beats one but is rundown from behind.
77th min: Try awarded. Quade Cooper put up a crossfield kick. Predictably Israel Folau comes down with and from the next phase Kuridrani crashes over. Cooper converts. NEW ZEALAND 41 AUSTRALIA 33
77th min: The TMO is being used to check a possible try by Kuridrani.
75th min: Quade Cooper nearly puts Adam Ashley-Cooper over but the next phase he throws a long ball that is forward and goes out. That is his first mistake of the night.
74th min: Brilliant defence by Tom Taylor stops another set move involving Israel Folau but Sam Cane concedes another penalty.
73rd min: Back-to-back penatlies for the Wallabies give them a lineout throw 35 metres out from the All Blacks line.
72nd min: Quade Cooper makes another try-saving tackle. Ben Smith made the bust and Liam Messam charges towards the post but is brought down and Adam Ashley-Cooper earns the penalty.
69th min: Another penalty right in front for the All Blacks. Beauden Barrett kicks the penalty. NEW ZEALAND 41 AUSTRALIA 26.
68th min: The All Blacks can finally escape their territory after Micheal Hooper is pinged for not releasing.
66th min: Unlucky for the Wallabies just a Joubert rules penalty advantage over, Genia collides with a teammate. Accidental offside ruled.
65th min: Ma'a Nonu charges at Quade Cooper from the scrum and Cooper eventually brings him down and the box kick goes out on the 22. Timani on for Horwill.
63rd min: The Wallabies have a 12-man lineout. They try a rolling maul but Craig Joubert rules that the maul stopped and the ball should be used.
62nd min: The Wallabies try the rolling maul and earn the penalty.
61st min: Great counter-attack by the Wallabies sparked by Adam Ashley-Cooper and Quade Cooper results in a bust by Kuridrani. The All Blacks covers stops the try but the lineout throw is with the Wallabies 20 metres out. Kepu on Slipper off.
60th min: Kuridrani nearly breaks through after a Cooper short ball but he knocks on. Cruden off and Barrett is on.
59th min: Rob Simmons returns the favour by winning a lineout against the throw. Cooper boots it down field and Michael Hooper forces a scrum with strong work at the breakdown. Faingaa on for Moore.
57th min: Craig Joubert for the first time tonight has found a team offside. It is against the Wallabies.
56th min: The re-start results in a kicking duel with finishes with a lineout to the Wallabies on halfway. The All Blacks win against the throw.
54th min: Kieran Read scores. He strolls over after the All Blacks soak up the defenders and spin it wide. It all goes back to a turnover in a strong tackle by Charles Faumuina and Ma'a Nonu. Cruden misses the conversion. NEW ZEALAND 38 AUSTRALIA 26
52nd min: Cruden misses a simple kick.
51st min: The All Blacks win the lineout and a penalty is conceded at the breakdown by Michael Hooper. It looks like he was off his feet.
50th min: The All Blacks regather from the re-start and Peter Betham concedes the penalty for a deliberate knock down. Probably incorrect call. The All Blacks have kicked for the corner.
48th min: Benn Robinson on for Ben Alexander. As Quade Cooper kicks the conversion from the sideline. NEW ZEALAND 33 AUSTRALIA 26.
47th min: Well the game as livened up as desperate intercept by Tevita Kuridrani turns a potential try to the All Blacks into a five pointer by Matt Toomua. NEW ZEALAND 33 AUSTRALIA 24 ktc.
45th min: Michael Hooper is trying hard but not making much impact tonight and he has just lost the ball in a crunching tackle by Mealamu.
43rd min: Good defence by the Wallabies but they concede the penalty at the breakdown. A 50-50 call. Cruden kicks the goal. NEW ZEALAND 33 AUSTRALIA 19.
42nd min: Play is underway and already the All Blacks are finding space and not making errors. A dangerous cocktail for Wallabies. A clever grubber kick from Nonu forces Folau to ground the ball in the in-goal. The fullback could do nothing about it. Five-metre scrum.
Georgina Robinson writes: Richie McCaw, Cory Jane and Piri Weepu look supremely relaxed two rows in front of me. And so they should be, because the Wallabies are their own worst enemy again. The Ashley-Cooper try was crucial but who can say they deserved it? Every other time they made it into their own half - it was so rare I could keep count - Australia shot themselves in the foot. The ping-pong ball between Mowen and Genia early on, then the uncharacteristic sloppiness of captain Horwill. The All Blacks never leave Wallabies territory without points. "Make a mistake, bro? We'll take that, thank you."
Thank you, New Zealand. No really, I'm learning to love the chronic pain.
The All Blacks are ruthless. The Wallabies dominate both possession and territory but trail on the scoreboard. The All Blacks defence is so strong that it is an attacking weapon and they have the creativity to strike where the opportunity arises.
The Wallabies must keep the turnovers down in the second-half to have any chance.
Quade Cooper has been far and away their best player. He has given the team width and putting players in space. Matt Toomua has played well and Folau has done some good things too but has made too many errors.
The forwards must lift. Ben McCalman has been strong in loose play as has Stephen Moore. The scrum has been solid too but the pack must get over the gain line more.
39th min: Well perhaps I speak too soon. Matt Toomua busts them up the middle and Quade Cooper throws a perfect cut-out ball to Adam Ashley-Cooper who scores on the left flank. Cooper converts. NEW ZEALAND 30 AUSTRALIA 19.
37th min: More stunning play by the All Blacks. The ball swept from side to side and eventually quick hands down the right sets up a try to Aaron Cruden. The Wallabies are dominating field position, but can't crack the All Blacks defence. New Zealand are having no such trouble. Cruden converts. NEW ZEALAND 30 AUSTRALIA 12. This match is over. The hosts' defence is too good let alone their attack.
36th min: Cruden kicks it. NEW ZEALAND 23 AUSTRALIA 12
35th min: Scrum penalty to the All Blacks. Tough call by Joubert as the ball had just about come out when he blew the whistle.
34th min: Great re-start by the All Blacks who regain possession but an accidental offside ruins the good work in the air.
32nd min: The Wallabies earn a penalty from the re-start and Quade Cooper shoots for goal and succeeds. NEW ZEALAND 20 AUSTRALIA 12.
This is rope-a-dope rugby. The All Blacks absorb the pressure and then strike like a viper.
29th min: Genius, All Blacks, genius. Cruden cross-kicks to Savea. He throws it inside to Dagg and who links with Sam Cane who scores under the post. Cruden converts. NEW ZEALAND 20 AUSTRALIA 9
28th min: Close call for the Wallabies. Kieran Read is dragged down centimetres short by Quade Cooper and Ben McCalman. Genia knocks back from the lineout but a thumping kick by Cooper relieves the pressure.
25th min: Ben McCalman knocks on from the re-start. Not an easy take and there was plenty of pressure. The Wallabies put on a big scrum and win the penalty.
23rd min: The Wallabies are mixing up their re-starts and Folau shows tremendous athleticism to leap and high and take the ball. The lazy runner Tony Woodcock from the All Blacks concedes the penalty as Will Genia passes the ball into him. Cooper kicks the goal. NEW ZEALAND 13 AUSTRALIA 9
22nd min: He does it. NEW ZEALAND 13 AUSTRALIA 6
21st min: From the lineout, the All Blacks get the penalty. Cruden has the easiest kick of the night.
20th min: Great pressure by the All Blacks forces the Wallabies to scramble inside their own 10 metres and Ashley-Cooper just gets his kick away before the chargedown arrived.
19th min: Easy come easy go. Cruden quickly recoups the three points. NEW ZEALAND 10 AUSTRALIA 6.
18th min: A fundamental error by Kuridrani gives the All Blacks a penalty from the re-start.
16th min: The Wallabies earn a penalty advantage but Quade Cooper slots the drop goal as insurance. NEW ZEALAND 7 AUSTRALIA 6.
15th min: Fierce defence by the All Blacks turns possession over and kick down field finds space. Quade Cooper holds up play and the Wallabies don't panic and earn the penalty.
13th min: Great pass by Quade Cooper gives Israel Folau space but a brillian tackle by Piutau stops a tryscoring opportunity and then James Horwill with a shocking knock-on.
10th min: Brilliant play by Israel Dagg. He shifted quickly to the left and created a one-on-one with Stephen Moore who had no chance and Dagg gave Julian Savea a clear run to the tryline. Cruden has found his kicking boots. NEW ZEALAND 7 AUSTRALIA 3
9th min: Worst. Kick. Ever. It did not even make the 10m mark.
8th min: Poor pass by Genia to Betham results in a penalty for offside and the All Blacks will have a shot from about 50 metres out.
6th min: The All Blacks make a meal of the ball and Quade Cooper kicks downfield. Dagg boots the bal out and the Wallabies win the lineout. They make no ground and an eventual error gives the All Blacks the scrum feed.
5th min: Good play from the All Blacks. They regain possession from the kick-off and work through the phases before Savea makes down the right.
4th min: It's over the black dot. NEW ZEALAND 0 AUSTRALIA 3
Penalty to the Wallabies. They won a tight head but the All Blacks dived on the ball and I think they have been pinged for not releasing. Quade Cooper will shoot for goal with obligatory boos.
A knock-on by Genia ends the movement with the All Blacks with the scrum feed 10 metres out.
Good start from the Wallabies they regain possession and Folau makes a break.
The Wallabies will kick and some relief for Quade Cooper, it's Matt Toomua with the honour.
Haka time.
It's the Ka Mate Ka Mate version.

This is a dead rubber with the Bledisloe Cup wrapped up in straight sets in Sydney and Wellington by the All Blacks in August.
Both teams have plenty to play for. The All Blacks' culture simply demands a win despite the trophy already in the cabinet.
The Wallabies need to show that the excellent attacking performance in Rosario was no flash in the pan. They need to tighten up their defence to have any chance.
The Wallabies have not beaten the All Blacks in New Zealand since 2001. That victory was also in Dunedin although Carisbrook looks vastly different to today's venue, the enclosed Forsyth Barr Stadium.
The 2001 victory was also the first match in charge of the Wallabies for coach Eddie Jones who unfotunately suffered a stroke this week and we wish him a speedy recovery.
PREVIEWThe All Blacks go into their clash with the Wallabies in Dunedin on Saturday as overwhelming favourites despite losing influential captain Richie McCaw and enterprising wing Cory Jane on the eve of the Test.
The double injury blow forced a late reshuffle for the reigning world champions, including the promotion of utility back Charles Piutau to the starting side for the first time.
But the odds remain heavily in the All Blacks favour after they disposed of the Wallabies twice already this year -- winning 47-29 in Sydney and then 27-16 in Wellington as they sailed through the Rugby Championship unbeaten.
New Zealand betting agency TAB kept the All Blacks at a shade over even money while the Wallabies were at 6-1 after it was announced Friday that McCaw was ruled out with a tight calf and Jane had tweaked a hamstring.
All Blacks coach Steve Hansen said McCaw's injury was not serious.
"We could have played him but the risk and reward wasn't worth it so we haven't," he said.
"CJ (Jane) has obviously done a grade one hamstring near the end of training. We thought he may be okay in the morning but he pulled up no good."
Wallabies captain James Horwill believes the loss of McCaw will have little impact on the All Blacks.
"Obviously the experience of Richie is a loss for any team, 120 Tests it's hard to replicate that experience, but Sam Cane's been doing a great job," Horwill said, referring to the man replacing the New Zealand veteran.
With nothing at stake in the match -- the All Blacks are 2-0 up in the best of three Bledisloe Cup Tests between the trans-Tasman rivals -- both sides have preached the same message of needing to back up their last performance.
The All Blacks are looking to reproduce the form that saw them beat South Africa 38-27 two weeks ago to claim the Rugby Championship with a performance dubbed by the New Zealand media "as one of the all-time greats".
Australia, after a woeful year, want a repeat of the form they showed when trouncing Argentina 54-17 in a match to avoid the Rugby Championship wooden spoon.
If the All Blacks offer the Wallabies an area to exploit it would be out wide with the raw paring of Piutau and Ben Smith.
Smith's reputation as a try-scoring wing will count for little as he moves in one place to the more defensive centre role in place of Conrad Smith who is taking an extended break from the game.
Piutau, although rated as a utility, has established his reputation as a counter-attacking fullback.
The loss of three times world player of the year McCaw sees the elevation of Cane who has already shown this year he is a capable openside flanker at Test level.
A target for the All Blacks, apart from maintaining their unbeaten record this year, is to win their 30th consecutive Test on home soil while the Wallabies have to go back 12 years to when they last beat the All Blacks in New Zealand.
The last of their rare victories anywhere over the All Blacks was 25-20 in Brisbane two years ago and Rob Simmons, Horwill's locking partner, believes it's time for a change.
"I get filthy, I hate losing. They're a good team but you get pretty down. It's something I want to change, that's for sure," he said.
In the 2011 win halves pairing Will Genia and Quade Cooper played an instrumental role in steering the side around the park and they will need to recapture that form for the Wallabies to have a realistic chance.
The Wallabies also need to overcome their defensive and handling lapses but Hansen denied his team would be taking them lightly.
"We respect the Australians immensely," he said.

IOWA CITY– Johnson County Auditor Tom Slockett sent 1,500 survey postcards to voters in rural and unattached voting precincts to assess opinions on current polling stations, should they be closed or consolidated.
At least two members of the Johnson County Board of Supervisors were unhappy about the unscientific survey.
SOLON– The Solon Public Library will be hosting a series of special events the week of Aug. 14-21 in honor of the library building's 10th anniversary.
On Tuesday, Aug. 16, at 6:30 p.m. Annie Wilcox, a speaker from Barnes & Noble, will discuss "What's New?" in the literary world. Topics will cover new releases, books you might be interested in that are not on the "Best Seller List", books from Iowa authors and just fun reads.
On Thursday, Aug. 11, the library will be closing at 6:30 p.m. so that the carpets may be cleaned. The library will be closed all day on Friday, Aug. 19, in preparation for the gala celebration in conjunction with the 10th anniversary celebration week. The staff regrets any inconvenience this may cause. Please plan your renewals accordingly and remember you can renew online or by phone, as well as in person.
Be sure and pick up the rules for the cake baking contest at the circulation desk in the library and plan to enter. The contest will be held on Sunday afternoon, Aug. 21, in conjunction with the weeklong 10th Anniversary celebration. Entries will be judged by a panel of city officials and after the prizes are awarded in all the different categories, the cakes will be carved up and served to all of the birthday party attendees.
Test your knowledge with the trivia contest during the anniversary week activities. The trivia contest contains 25 questions about library history and statistics. Contest forms will be available at the kickoff breakfast, at the library all week and on-line after Aug. 14. Entries are due at 5 p.m. on Aug. 20. The winner will be announced at 2:30 p.m. during the birthday party on Sunday, Aug. 21. The prize is a $20 gift certificate to a Solon business of the winner's choice. You need not be present to win. Library employees, board members and volunteers are not eligible to enter.
During the anniversary celebration week, the senior dining lunch on Wednesday, Aug. 17, will be in the meeting room of the library. The meal will be sponsored by the Solon Women's Club. Reservations must be called in by Monday, Aug. 15, to 624-2251. Ice cream and cake will be served for dessert. The program will be Carol Bodensteiner, author of "Growing Up Country: Memories of an Iowa Farm Girl."
Would you like a real thorough look at the library including the workroom and basement? Have you ever wondered about some of the items displayed in the library, or where your books go when you put them in the book drop? Sign up your club or organization or as an individual to get in on a tour during anniversary week. The Friends of the Solon Library will be the guides. They will provide interesting facts, statistics and information about the library and show you all the places you never get to see in the library.

Sportbikes include racing-derived models such as the Suzuki GSX-R600, Kawasaki ZX-10R, Yamaha YZF-R1, BMW S1000RR and Ducati 848 EVO.
Motorcycling has a history of attracting the go-fast crowd. Those who wish to go the fastest look to sportbikes. The most advanced motorcycles in the industry fall under the sportbike banner as these machines are designed for optimum speed, acceleration, braking and maneuverability. Sportbikes also rely on aerodynamics more than other motorcycles because these are the machines most often found competing on racetracks. Even those who don't ever plan on racing can experience the thrill of braking deep into a corner by attending trackday at a local racetrack. Along with having the fastest motorcycles, sportbike riders are often found sporting the latest and safest motorcycle gear – especially if they're flying around a track

...The narrative of the blues got hijacked by rock 'n' roll, which rode a wave of youth consumers to global domination. Back behind the split, there was something else: a deeper, riper source. Many people who have written about this body of music have noticed it. Robert Palmer called it Deep Blues. We're talking about strains within strains, sure, but listen to something like Ishman Bracey's ''Woman Woman Blues,'' his tattered yet somehow impeccable falsetto when he sings, ''She got coal-black curly hair.'' Songs like that were not made for dancing. Not even for singing along. They were made for listening. For grown-ups. They were chamber compositions. Listen to Blind Willie Johnson's "Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground.'' It has no words. It's hummed by a blind preacher incapable of playing an impure note on the guitar. We have to go against our training here and suspend anthropological thinking; it doesn't serve at these strata. The noble ambition not to be the kind of people who unwittingly fetishize and exoticize black or poor-white folk poverty has allowed us to remain the kind of people who don't stop to wonder whether the serious treatment of certain folk forms as essentially high- or higher-art forms might have originated with the folk themselves.From Unknown Bards: The blues becomes apparent to itself by one John Jeremiah Sullivan. I came across it while browsing Heavy Rotation: Twenty Writers On The Albums That Changed Their Lives. For Sullivan, that album was American Primitive, Vol. II: Pre-War Revenants (1897 - 1939), which is my favorite CD of the year. Which came out in 2005 while I just got around to buying it this year. Foolish me. It is a piece of art in itself in every respect--all CDs should have such production values. [more inside]

It's playing on my mind as not long ago one of my kids asked a store owner to recommend a good wine and explained that I am a collector and she wanted something different that I did not know but it had to be good. She landed up paying about NIS200.00 for a bottle that was clearly drink up and was probabably clogging up the shelves. So should we return the bottle?

Some of the wines you list are just expensive and gimicks and are no better than the regular wines produced.
jgpersky wrote:As a wine shop owner, I have 2 observations:
1. People who are not wine shop owners are, according to their comments here, not very trusting of the places where they shop. These places may deserve this.
2. A good wine shop needs to be a place you can trust. A single visit cannot tell you that. We taste 2 wines each week for free, get everyone's opinion, and post the conclusions the following week. We store our wines well and coolly and want return customers. That means people need to enjoy shopping here, and I have to get to know their preferences over time. I keep a book so that guests asking what they like will know what to give them. They have to trust me. I can't go around "dumping" things they won't like on them. I have to have fun, and they have to have fun. When they're here and when they drink their wine at home. Is this so rare? I know Gabriel works the same way. Adam?

I dont want to go into it as its another topic.
I am finding it interesting to follow the trends of thought from shop owners.
Could one divide the clientel. Specialists, regulars and anything will do clients which are probably 75%

Hi guys. Once again, I am here to talk to you about the incredible character, Edward Cullen. I am so glad that Stephanie Meyer had made the Twilight books, and included a character that is like Edward. Such a strong, bold personality that he has. He acts like a proper gentlemen towards women, and shows kindness and respect towards others he loves, and also people that he has just met. He is very protective, and he shows no fear whatsoever. And don't forget his good looks!! I wish that there were more men out there like Edward, with his personality and good charm. I am in love with Edward, and hope one day to get a man like him. I hope all you wonderful ladies out there have or will get an Edward!! I hope you all enjoyed reading this for it is my perspective of Edward. I hope to see many replies on this for I would want to know what your girls perspective is on Edward. Thank you for your time reading this, and I hope that you will leave a reply.

I feel the exact same way about Edward. He is a strong, protective, passionate, caring, selfless, brilliant character that I love.
I love all the good things about him and all of the not so good things about him too. I can admit that my favorite character is not perfect. He is perfectly imperfect. He is prone to overreaction, he is overprotective, and he is kind of a know it all lol. But Edward can always admit to his mistakes and he corrects them without ever doing them again. Edward is a man, he takes care of his responsibility and he accepts consequences for his actions. Even though he might not always do the best thing, he always has good intentions in his heart.
I would have to agree with Bella, " Even if he was a vampire. He had the most beautiful soul."
I have to agree with every bit of this!!!!
sorry ladies but i don't agree with you1
sure he is beutiful,powerful, and exterordianary but he can also be controling.I don't i want i want controling boyfriend/husband .Besides he is not real!
Yes I know he is not real, but I know there are atleast some guys out there that are like Edward, with some of his characteristics. He is perfectly imperfect like Team Edward17 said :D
i 2 feel the same way about edward. not many guys are like that anymore.....
or have looks like his- he is so gorgous!!!
hes also protective- i like that
in all, he just perfect!!!
I know.... well almost perfect anyways-- but yeah. I love him to death!!
a few of my friends in school are Edward like but the funny thing is that no girl falls for them cause the girls think that they are ugly(i don't think that they are) i mean its good to have a guy that has a good personality and has good looks but i sure go 4 personality before looks!!!!!!!!!!
what do you think???????????

Director and Developer, www.thanknest.com
This conversation is closed.
What are you doing & what were the turning points in your life that led you there?
Over the last 2 years I have been developing a website - Thanknest.com
During that time I was also working on a longitudinal study looking at why students want to leave high school early, & what makes them to change their mind. This got me to thinking about the pivotal moments in my life that have led me to develop my wesbite. For me, there were four turning points that led me to develop Thanknest:
(1) a life changing experience - I am a Mum of two & we almost lost our first child during childbirth (thankfully we had a happy ending). This experience made me realise the importance of being thankful & giving thanks. I wanted to say thank you in a unique way & I wanted to share my thank you with the world;
(2) to motivate myself - there have been times in my life when someone has helped me, supported me, inspired me, or touched my life... but I had never sat down to thank them. I came to realise that if I never made the time to say thank you, they would never know they had touched my life;
(3) the Australian $5 note - when I was about 9 years old we had a school lesson on Caroline Chisholm who had assisted women & children immigrating to Australia. I don't remember the details, but according to Wiki!, she helped with the settlement of 14 000 people. Her contribution to Australian society was honoured with her image being placed on the Australian $5 note between 1967 and 1992. During that lesson I distinctly remember that I too wanted to do something positive in my life;
(4) feeling compelled to spread something positive - during my teenage years & beyond I often watched Oprah. She was always an ambassador for spreading the positives of the world. Whenever I watched her programs, I felt strongly compelled to be one of those people who would give something positive and unique back to the world.
These four moments in time led me to develop Thanknest. What are you doing & what were the turning points in your life that brought you there?

I needed to properly convey how I feel about this character. For some reason, I felt macros were appropriate. She gives me so many feels.
Molly Hooper is I think one of, if not the greatest addition by Moffat and Gatiss to this modern interpretation of Sherlock Holmes. Yeah, I know—that's a pretty big statement to make. But I believe it wholeheartedly.
Molly is the girl next door. Except for the fact that she isn't. She's socially awkward, she's shy, and always manages to fall for all the wrong men; all that's true. But she's also smart. Determined. Courageous. And as this post reminds us, who is it Sherlock needs to complete his elaborate plan in "The Reichenbach Fall"? He needs Molly Hooper. Because of all these things, and also because under all of it she is someone who can be trusted.
What I love is that Moffat and Gatiss have basically thrown this girl into a familiar story of badass men solving crimes with their awesome bromance. A girl whom you'd otherwise brush off with a wave of your hand. (As Sherlock himself often did, until his realization that she is important. She always has been.) They took a character that could've disappeared from viewers' minds and made her a prominent part of the show's dynamic—they gave her depth. My only regret is that we don't see even more of her, to be honest. She represents all of us—the awkward ones hiding in the sidelines—but she also represents the strong people we can be. And that you have the power to affect someone else. To help someone else. Even if you don't believe it yourself.
So, yes. Molly Hooper does count. She's always counted. Maybe she hasn't always been reassured of that. But I sure as hell am.

From the looks of our recent thread on software you should never install, several Lifehacker readers have given up on running antivirus software. Maybe you're smart enough not to open up that email attachment, or maybe you're confident enough in your spyware protection to snag viral nasties, or maybe you're running Mac OS X or Linux. By default Windows Security will let you know if AV isn't enabled on your machine, so I'm curious: How many of you skip the AV software entirely, and why? Make your case in the comments.

Intensely flavored and sweet, with a scented quality to the fruit-driven flavors of ripe plum, mulberry and flowers.

Sagging in a ceiling may be caused by undersized drywall. You either have to replace 1/2-in. drywall with 5/8-in. or add furring strips and a second layer of 5/8-in. drywall.
Ceiling drywall that sags between joists or trusses is sometimes called "pillowed" drywall.
If your ceiling drywall is sagging between joists, sometimes called "pillowing," it's probably on the top floor and attached to the roof trusses. If so,
I bet the installers used 1/2-in. drywall instead of 5/8-in.
Half-inch drywall can sag if it's hung under roof trusses that are spaced every 24 in. It isn't strong enough to handle the span, and the weight of the attic insulation just makes the sagging worse.
You only have two choices: Rip it out and replace it with 5/8-in. drywall or add spacers and new 5/8-in. drywall
below it. Ripping out the old stuff is the most professional
approach, but it's a nightmare job. You have to pry out the
ceiling drywall along the edges and pluck out all the old drywall screws. As if that weren't enough fun, the
attic insulation may collapse into the room.
If you can live with a lower ceiling height, you can save a lot of time by installing a new ceiling below the old one. Add the 1-by furring strips (on 16-in. centers) shown in Figure A. Use 1x3s rather than 1x2s because it makes the drywall easier to hang. (But if your ceiling sags more than 3/4 in., use 2x2s.) Screw the 1x3s to the truss framing with 2-1/2-in. drywall screws spaced every 2 ft. Next, install and tape and finish new 5/8-in. drywall. If you have ceiling fixtures, you'll have to extend all the boxes so they're flush with the new ceiling.
Easy ceiling fix
Screw 1x3s to the trusses through the old ceiling and then install new 5/8-in. drywall.

Ottawa, Ontario
Bus: OC Transpo Rideau/Mackenzie-King Transitway Station, Societe de Transport de l'Outaouais
Visit: September 21, 2011
For my fourth and most recent visit to Ottawa, I had to cap it off with a dessert stop. During my visit for Burger 103 at Zak's Diner, I went around and scouted some to the places around Byward Market. I came across the famous Beavertails franchise location. I was very tempted by what I say on that day. My mind, being what it is, instead, went for the Triple Chocolate Blizzard at the nearby Dairy Queen. We all know how that turned out. I left Ottawa in July of 2011 in a pretty good mess. I was determined to not have that again by going to the place I should've went to.

Imagine Dragon's "Night Visions": The Good and the Bad
Posted by Brittany Barth on 10/18 at 01:53 AM
Grade: C
My attention was called to the previews for NBC's latest drama Chicago Fire for one reason: the song being featured. Something about the song was so enticing and just begging to be added to my music library. I quickly discovered what the song was and the band that wrote it.
"Radioactive" is the second single released from Imagine Dragons' debut album Night Visions. It is the first track on the album and shows so much promise for the songs that follow. However, the remaining eleven tracks just cannot match up to what "Radioactive" provides, which was something I was shocked to find out. It was hard to believe that the rest of the album wouldn't produce the same satisfaction that "Radioactive" had given me.
Night Visions is definitely a mixed bag: half of the album's songs are enjoyable while the other half are mediocre at best. While I believe that the album had the potential to be something special, it fell short due to a variety of factors.
Night Visions isn't providing it's audience with anything they haven't heard before. The overall sound of the album is very generic and almost sounds like a combination of the bands Train and fun. which just doesn't quite work. The lyrics aren't groundbreaking and the album doesn't remain cohesive throughout.
The real issue, though, is that nearly every song on the album could be placed on a movie soundtrack. In fact their first single, "It's Time," is featured in the previews for the new movie The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Overall, Night Visions is just too commercialized. Songs like "Amsterdam," "On Top Of The World" and "Every Night" are other examples of where the album falters.
However, Night Visions does provide tracks that, at least somewhat, make up for what the album is lacking. "Tiptoe," "Hear Me" and "Underdog" all save the album from being written off by audiences entirely. If they continue to create songs like this, their sophomore album will be a success.
Also, the song "Nothing Left To Say/Rocks" truly showcases the kind of music Imagine Dragons is capable of creating. The song is a whopping eight minutes and fifty-six seconds long, something I haven't seen occur on an album in quite sometime. "Nothing Left To Say/Rocks" is actually two songs that share a single track. The first part of the song, "Nothing Left To Say" is emotionally driven, beginning and ending slowly and reaching its climax midway though. The second half of the song, "Rocks," that begins after a short pause and officially starts at 6:49, completely contrasts what the listener just encountered. While the first half of the song remains rooted in rock, the second half adopts a sound that is reminiscent of Mumford & Sons. It is definitely the most likeable part of the song, in part because of the surprise it presents to the listener.
Overall, Night Visions fails to completely satisfy its listeners. After experiencing the album, I am still left wanting more, desiring tracks that replicated what had found in their single, "Radioactive." However, I do believe that Imagine Dragons has the potential to be something great if they can manage to overcome the flaws I witnessed on Night Visions.

Ease of Use
I use this drug because I get post-nasal drainage due to sinusitis. If I use it as prescribed, it helps and I have less problems with my allergies and asthma. But I don't like using it because I hate the feeling of it squirting up my nose and draining down the back of my throat. I don't really feel any side-effects from it.

An organic decor reflects this new york spa's commitment to the environment and community.
Spa AdrianaOwners: John and Adriana Vater
Location: Huntington, New York
Opened: December 1983
Total square feet: 4,700—1,700 square feet of that is an in-house educational facility, break rooms, office rooms and storage
Salon setup: 5 styling stations, 6 color stations, 5 treatment rooms, 2 nail stations, 2 pedicure stations, 4 shampoo bowls, 1 color bar
Equipment: Etopa and custom
Is the extra effort worth it? "Absolutely," Vater says. He notes that helping the environment is also helping the community. "The health of a business is related to the health of the community," he says. "We are helping maintain and improve our community."
The Vaters turned to friend and archaeologist Luis Echeverria to help design the Mayan-themed spa.
In these images, Vater points out the important green aspects of the design.
|Vater: "The reception desk and furniture in the retail area are made by Etopa, which uses environmentally conscious and sustainable materials, like rubberwood, which Etopa replants to reduce global warming."
|"The entrance is similar in appearance to walking into a Mayan temple. It immediately instills a very earthy, very natural feel. The tiles get lighter as your eyes move up, which makes it an inviting atmosphere that brings you toward the light of the inside space, which has a very good sense of permanence to it because of the aged, distressed feeling of the stucco."
|"Having a water element is necessary for purifying the air, and helps reduce dust, pollutants and smells from chemicals or unwanted aromas. The structure also creates a semi-privacy screen between the service area and reception area. It doesn't limit the aesthetic of open space; it's translucent so it allows light and motion to pass through the glass, while still being a carrier of privacy."
|"The stucco isn't painted; it was tinted using a beet extract that Mayans used in pottery. We brought up the patina from the Yucatan to add into the stucco. As Luis Echeverria and I were brushing on the beet extract, which is an antioxidant, it appeared a red violet color. When it dries, it makes the stucco a warm orange color. The limestone in the stucco oxidizes the beet extract and brings it to its complementary tone."
|"We used outdoor furniture for our spa comfort area because it has a very natural, organic feel—plus we don't ever have to replace it because teak wood lasts forever. This wall art is under the skylight. We use a lot of organic, indirect light that comes through naturally. It's not harsh or obtrusive and helps reduce power usage during daylight hours."
