Michigan police say 34-year-old Aubrey Coy was drunk on drugs when she kidnapped her daughter during a supervised visit. It all started in Warsaw around noon Sunday when police say Coy and her mother picked up the girl for the supervised visit.
Then, the video shows Coy pulling the little girl onto her lap in the driver's seat while driving down the road at speeds up to 75 mph. The video shows one tire blow and come off its rim. Two others were flat when the car finally stopped after hitting stop sticks.
Coy is facing 7 felony charges and 1 misdemeanor including child abuse, resisting arrest, possession of cocaine, obstruction of justice, fleeing and eluding police and operating under the influence of drugs.

2) Prayer:
2) Prayer:
Muslims perform five prayers a day. Each prayer does not take more than a few minutes to perform. Prayer in Islam is a direct link between the worshipper and God. There are no intermediaries between God and the worshipper.
In prayer, a person feels inner happiness, peace, and comfort, and that God is pleased with him or her. The Prophet Muhammad said: {Bilal, call (the people) to prayer, let us be comforted by it.}2 Bilal was one of Muhammad's companions who was charged to call the people to prayers.
Prayers are performed at dawn, noon, mid-afternoon, sunset, and night. A Muslim may pray almost anywhere, such as in fields, offices, factories, or universities, But first in the mosque with the congregation.
(For detailed information on how to perform prayer, please refer to this links at How to Perform Prayer)

They love video games, love them! actually, certainly one of their favourite video games, a lot to my dismay, is yelling out names to one another, their such a lot favourite names being butthead, pungent butt, pungent face, fart face, and booger nostril.

Of all cities I've ever visited, Dublin in Ireland was definitely one of the easiest to love right away. It's quite big, but easy to get around (even on foot) and I found lots of great places for sightseeing, but also to relax and get some work done.
I've been to Dublin twice now, but still would love to go back to explore more as I still didn't have enough time here! Dublin in a day is definitely doable, but why would you cut yourself short and not spend some more time in this amazing city?
If you're wondering what to do in Dublin… Here are our favourite things to see and do here!
What we'll cover in this article
One day in Dublin Itinerary
Morning in Dublin
Start your day by a nice breakfast, either in your hotel or for example at the little Keogs Cafe. They serve the best muffins I probably ever tasted and have a wide variety of teas an coffees to go with it. And pssst, they got WiFi too!
1 Trinity St, Dublin 2, Ireland
Then I would personally head over to one of the places that's most popular to visit and can get crowded with tourist later in the day: Trinity College. It's just around the corner from Keoghs and unmissable on your day trip to Dublin.
Once you've found the entrance (a big wooden door), it's great to stroll over the campus and see the students go about their daily routines. But of course the main attraction here is The Book of Kells. This 9th-century gospel manuscript and the Old Library from the 18th century at the end of the exhibition are just incredible and a must see if you haven't already.
In the library, you'll feel a bit like Belle in Beauty in the Beast, wanting to sing and dance around. Of course, you have to be quiet though… It's still a library!
College Green, Dublin 2, Ireland
Just 1 Day in Dublin? Don't miss The Book of Kells!
Make sure to also have a quick wander around St Stephen's Green, a beautiful public park that opened in 1880 (but has been around since the 16th century).
The park lies right next to Grafton Street, where you can do some shopping and it is the largest of the parks in Dublin's main Georgian garden squares. This is also the corner of the park where you'll find the 'Fusiliers' Arch', which commemorates the Royal Dublin Fusiliers who died in the Second Boer War (a war fought from Oct 1899 to May 1902 between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland on the one hand, and the South African Republic and the Orange Free State on the other. The war ended in victory for the British and the annexation of both republics)
In the park, you can find a large lake spanning much of the length of the park, filled with ducks and other water fowl. There is also a garden for the blind with scented plants and are labels in Braille!
St Stephen's Green, Dublin 2, Ireland
Our brilliant guide Brian Kennedy (Make sure to book him >> firstname.lastname@example.com)
You cannot tell this used to be a swamp, can you?
Stephen's Green Shopping Centre
Grafton Street
Shopping is also good around O'Connell Street in Dublin. When you walk towards the Spire coming from the South side of the river (you can't really miss it), turn left and there are some big shopping malls as well.
Afternoon in Dublin
A great place for lunch is Brick Alley Cafe in the Temple Bar area. They have great fruit shakes, sandwiches and bagels. And they serve the most amazing white hot chocolate you'll find in Dublin, trust me! With the free WiFi, you can even get some work done if you need to.
The whole of Temple Bar is just great to walk around, see some street art and have a sneaky pint (or two) before you continue your explorations.
25 Essex St E, Dublin 2, Ireland
What to see in Dublin in one day? There is so much choice!!
If you've been to Temple bar already, or want to do some more shopping, head over to the Creative Quarter. This area is located South of Temple bar, around William Street South and is filled with lovely little shops and places to eat.
There are many old pub that are worth a visit, like the famous McDaids. This pub was once the city morgue and was later converted into a chapel. It's also the pub from the opening of James Joyce's short story 'Grace' and favourite place of Irish poet, writer and playwright Brendan Behan. Nowadays McDaids provides jazz and blues music.
Also don't miss the Powerscourt Townhouse, a speciality shopping centre set in an elegant Georgian house. It's filled with Irish design stores and is a fine example of Dublin's Georgian architecture; the house is unique in showing the transition from rococo style to neo-classic under one roof. You can also eat, see theatre and get tours in the Powerscourt Centre.
McDaids: 3 Harry St, Dublin 2, Ireland
Powerscourt Townhouse Centre, 59 William St S, Dublin 2, Ireland
The Creative Quarter
Don't miss the George's St. Arcade for lots of (handmade) goods!
The Powerscourt Townhouse Centre, extra pretty during the holiday season
After all this shopping, you've probably got a bit thirsty, so let's head over to one (or both) of the most famous attractions in Dublin: The Guinness Storehouse and the Old Jameson Distillery.
Both locations are a bit to the West, so you could walk there for sure, or simply jump on a bus to get there. Allow yourself at least 2 hours at each location, so probably choose between the two based on your time left and your personal taste.
Now, I didn't visit Guinness during the actual opening hours, as we had a welcoming party for a blogger event in the evening here, but we did get to walk around in the insanely amazing designed building and through the interactive exhibition when you enter the building. And yes, there was some serious Guinness tasting involved, too.
At Jameson, you get to go through the entire history and production process of the distillery. The girl that led us around had a great way of explaining -and cracked a lot of jokes. Typical Irish!
Guinness Storehouse: St James's Gate, Dublin 8, Ireland
Old Jameson Distillery: Bow St, Smithfield Village, Dublin 7, Ireland
Read more about a visit to the Guinness Storehouse
Read more about a visit to the Old Jameson Distillery
After all this sin, it's straight onto St Patrick's Cathedral, of course :)
The church was founded in 1191 and is the largest church in Ireland! You can get a guided tour, but even if you're just there to admire the view and especially all the different styles of stained glass windows, you won't be disappointed.
Evening in Dublin
Where to eat in Dublin?
In the evening, of course the Temple Bar area is a very lively place to eat and drink. There is always some live music going on, for example at the Temple Bar Pub. This pub, as well as Oliver St. John Gogarty's, is also the place to be for a nice pub dinner, like fish and chips for example.
For a more quiet dinner, I recommend The Green Hen (French cuisine with Irish variations in an informal brasserie) and Rustic Stone (Innovative, modern, rustic Irish diner using seasonal local produce). I had some amazing food here during my stay!
The Temple Bar: 47-48 Temple Bar, Dublin 2, Ireland
Oliver St. John Gogarty's: 58 Fleet St, Dublin 2, Ireland
The Green Hen: 33 Exchequer St, Dublin 2, Ireland
Rustic Stone: 17 South Georges Street, Dublin 2, Ireland
Where to party in Dublin?
Got energy left after trying to see as much of Dublin in one day as you can? There are an unbelievable amount of bars in Dublin, you can't go wrong here. Not recently, but during my previous visit, I had a great evening at The Church (Converted church with cafe/bar and Irish restaurant surrounded by terraces), 37 Dawson Street (Quirky whiskey bar and restaurant with cocktails and modern food) and The Odeon (Converted Railway Terminus with high ceilings, curtain-draped interior and an ornate marble bar).
The Church: Jervis St, Dublin 1, Ireland
37 Dawson Street: 37 Dawson St, Dublin 2, Ireland
The Odeon: 57 Old Harcourt Street Railway Station, Harcourt Street, Dublin 2, Ireland
The Church Bar
Good Night… or better said: Oíche mhaith!

While I didn't plan on making a video of Dublin during my stay, I have really enjoyed being active on Snapchat (add me: @thetraveltester) and was thinking of a way to use the content and make it available to you even though on the app itself you could only get access for 24 hours.
While the portrait-setting of Snapchat and the fact that it's all shot on a phone and not a proper camera isn't ideal for creating a good travel video, I've done my best to make it a bit attractive for you to watch. The sound and video quality isn't always great, but I learn as I go (will finish my words and talk more clearly INTO the microphone next time, for a start, haha) and I think the result is still pretty good for a short 2 minute clip.

LANHAM, Md. (WNEW) — As the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge surges on, one video has proven to be more heartwarming than chilling.
O.J. Brigance is widely known as a former professional football player in the Canadian Football League, but more locally known as a former Ravens linebacker. Now, he is the Director of Player Development for the Ravens and serves as a motivator and inspiration for the team.
What makes this viral video special is that Brigance himself has ALS, diagnosed in 2007. Soon after, Brigance and his wife, Chanda, began the Brigance Brigade Foundation.
In the video O.J. and his wife ask people to donate to donate to the Brigance Brigade Foundation to help them "equip, encourage and empower people living with ALS.
The Brigances challenged NFL Hall of Famer Cris Carter, recent Hall of Fame inductee Aeneas Williams, NFL Executive Troy Vincent, Baltimore's actor Josh Charles and Olympic Champion Michael Phelps, and actor Tyler Perry. They also extended a special challenge to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to "establish an annual ALS Awareness Day during the season to honor the courageous men and women and their families battling ALS every day."

"Pavane for the Nursery" (ocarina tablature)
Sometimes I don't know when to quit. I struggled with this tablature for "A Pavane for the Nursery" (you may find the poem in the original post for Three Songs of Stars and Fire), but finally came up with something I can live with... for now. Fear not, this blog is not going to become Ocarina Central. I just want the music to be available. I want people to know it exists.
I just received a copy of the album "Simon Sisters Sing for Children". The album is a 33 1/3 rpm record that I bought for $4.00 on Ebay. The next step is to get help in transferring the music to compact disc.* At that time, the Simon Sisters' music for "A Pavane for the Nursery" will once more be available for Lucia's listening pleasure.
*Note to the record companies: if you think this is piracy, then please rerelease the album on compact disc. Rest assured, I will buy it. Until that momentous event occurs, don't give me any guff.

I've just emailed my friend to find out when we can get together for an lp party.
Yesterday, Bede was finally convinced of the necessity of my having an alto ocarina to play. (I really like the tenor ones, but I need to work up my breath control.) I've decided that my sopranito that I can wear around my neck is my equivalent of the iPod shuffle. Goodness knows, it'll be a rare moment when I get to listen to "Fluffy" (our new iPod shuffle acquired through a free promotion).

The best way to have all the warm or cool air you need throughout the year is to have regular HVAC maintenance checkups. When a professional Gainesville, CA HVAC team examines your system, they'll check all the parts in your heating and air conditioning units to make sure there are none that are close to wearing out or breaking down. When these problems are caught early, it saves you money on huge repairs later.
It's especially important to check your air conditioning system in the early spring to get it ready for summer. Winter weather may have damaged parts of it, or animals and insects may have taken refuge inside. The same can be said for your heating units towards the end of fall. When you have a professional look at your system early, you can avoid spending cold nights and days with a broken down heater.

First of all, I have a watch tan. My watch tan is so defined that if I drew little numbers and a clock hands, it looks as if I could be wearing a skin colored watch. Now I have to wear a watch all the time to cover up my watch!
Second, I have blisters on the bottom of my feet that cause me to walk like an old woman. Imagine this…. Me hunched over, very bent knees, and walking on the outside of my feet. This has also caused my knees to hurt as well.
Third, I am extremely sunburnt. I searched the entire basement this morning for sunscreen and found none. I also have a sunglasses tan in addition to my watch tan. I'd take the watch over the sunglasses any day.
Why has this happened to me? I blame Courtney (although it is not at all her fault and she was just trying to help me out). Since I was on vacation to Texas the week before last my pay check was sliced in half. So I was worried about getting all my bills paid. Courtney who works as a office manager at a daily work daily pay place called Labor Finders got my job for today. I worked 9 long hours at the Utah Fair Grounds cleaning up trash for an event. It was not at all fun. I had to work with creepy men who would not leave me alone. Then I had to give them all rides. I had to breath in their second hand smoke, listen to their foul language, and pick up the pace when they slacked off. It was also extremely hot. Of course it is a perfect day with no clouds in the sky to shield me from the sun. I was praying for cloudy weather, and guess when that cloudy weather came. Right after I left!!!!!!!
Anyways…. That is why I am now crippled.
But this does make me appreciate the people who do this for a living. That is extremely hard work for such little pay. There I was complaining about it when these people do it to pay the bills every day. I am so grateful for my job, and the money I have. Although I hated every second of it, I am glad that I did it. I feel that I have felt a glimpse of what it is like to be out of a steady job and to be hurting for money. Now I am going to do everything in my power to be successful and to never have to live in that way.
Some times you've gotta do what you've gotta do…

Final Fantasy XIII-2 Trailer
But then they made a sequel. Okay, I guess a lot of people liked FFXIII, god knows why, but they did. I hear the combat system was decent, people like to imagine Lightning naked, and um... maybe the story was good(?). I gave up trying to understand FFXIII with the Fallacies and Lucies, so maybe I'm missing something there. Luckily however, this sequel is totally different from FFXIII! Which can only be a good thing. Let's watch the latest trailer, because its the longest by far:
And amazingly, it actually looks decent! So read on if you dare to see why I'm actually interested this time.
You see, Square Enix has this bizarre disease in that they are completely unable to make a proper direct sequel to anything without changing everything and ruining it somehow**, let "Revenant Wings" be Exhibit A of that. That's the direct sequel to FFXII on the DS. Originally "Revenant Wings" was a completely different game that SE reskinned to be in canon with FFXII - and it shows. The original game is an excellent free-roaming RPG with MMO-style gameplay. The DS game is an RTS... basically a halfassed "Command and Conquer" without bases to build. Could FFXII's gameplay have been replicated on the DS, of course! But they didn't even try, they just made something completely different, and expected consumers to love it simply because the words "Final Fantasy XII" were in the title. Luckily, when you start with a game that I didn't want to play, changing the experience can only improve matters.
As you might notice in that trailer, most of the playable cast has changed. Now instead of six dudes, you have Serah, Lightning's sister, and some dude from the future named "Noel". Lightning has been erased from the timeline from some evil monster, and now the characters get to wander through the timeline and other dimensions to save her. Also, there's a dude in purple running around beating up Shiva and spreading evil. Noel happens to come from the Lavos Future, where the Earth has been blown apart, and he's doing the "Terminator" thing. The battle for the future will happen in the present. But will the future refuse to change?
So already, this sounds like a much better game. With time travel gameplay, we're channeling "Chrono Trigger" here, meaning that the game, by definition cannot be linear. Its so not linear that they've even remove a linear flow of time! You get to pick which time to travel to, and I suppose can explore that part of the game until you need to get back to the main story. Also, you might have noticed in the trailer that there are towns now. FFXIII decided to be some weird action game, like "Modern Warfare" where you basically flow through a long single corridor with the illusion of a world around you. I thought creating a living breathing world for you to explore was a necessity for RPGs, but FFXIII thought otherwise. Square Enix has learned now, we got towns. FFXIII has almost no minigames or sidequests. We got Chocobo Racing now. I hear there's an entire Gold Saucer-like area. Oh, and we get to raise monsters to fight in our party similar to "Dragon Quest V". Huge improvements all around. There even are multiple endings.
Also, Moogles!
But I guess things aren't all wonderful. This still isn't that FFXII sequel I've wanted for five years now, but I have to learn to accept that will never happen. As for FFXIII-2, there are a few issues. It seems like there are only two human playable characters, neither of which are Lightning, Sazh, or Fang, characters I happen to think are extremely cool even without playing FFXIII. And um... really that's it. I can't find much else that can ruin this game, especially when the it offers a way for me to experience FFXIII's supposedly incredible battle system without having to play that game.
As for the trailer, it starts off great, but then it gets noticeably worse. You know why? Why does the trailer get terrible? Because of that fucking Celine Dion-wannabe RnB pop bullshit. Who the Hell likes music like this? What is wrong with your brain? If you enjoy music that bad, visit your parents and demand reparations, because they raised you wrong. Nothing sounds good with music like that playing. You could film Lightning taking a bath with her sister, and if you play that slow pop crap, it will somehow be awful. Square Enix needs to learn to get better music, dammit.
So that's all I got here.
* If you think I can ditch FFXIII for being too linear, you know I'll ditch FFXIV for just being an MMO, let alone one of the worst MMOs ever made.
** With the notable exception of "Kingdom Hearts II". Oh, and depressingly, "Dissidia 2".

I enjoyed FF-XIII, was it comparable to others, no, but was it still a good game, yes. I would like to get X-III-2,but a PS3 isn't at my current disposition at the moment so that idea went out the window. I hate the people who act like its the best game ever made, and those who would rather take a horrible game like some stupid CN racing crap game, its okay, no the best, but not the worst.ReplyDelete
Then there are the questions on what the hell happened! Why does Snow look like entirely different fag now? Why do they have to make the plot line even more confusing again? All this will be answered to those of you who own a PS3. Fuck all of you who don't, we don't care.
I'm cautiously optimistic about this game. From what I've heard, SE is actually addressing the many complaints about XIII. The story in non-linear, with dialogue options and multiple endings; you can switch characters in combat, instead of just controlling one and leaving the other two to the AI; and towns are back. Some cutscenes will have quicktime events, which could help mitigate the problems caused by Square's growing habit of showing you really cool stuff during cutscenes that you can't do during gameplay.ReplyDelete
I saw some of the gameplay and the trailer at NY Comic Con over the weekend and it looked decent. They haven't really done much to improve the battle system, which wasn't that great (any Final Fantasy in which you can only control one character at a time is going to get on my nerves), but the story does seem better, and the graphics have been slightly improved (you can tell if you pay attention to Serah's hair). I'm still not going to ever pay to play it, but I might borrow it from a friend and give it a try come February or March.ReplyDelete
Also, the Square Enix worker dude moderating the play area gave me a free Moogle pin. That was pretty cool.
It's actually a pretty good thing you're not doing Bleach recaps anymore. This week is going to start about 7 months of filler.ReplyDelete
Well, I guess I'll take over when the GOOD filler starts (i.e. the second episode in November)...
@HeadBody: I'm actually planning on restarting the recaps once the filler begins. I'm sick of Bleach's main storyline, but filler is like a whole new show.ReplyDelete
@Blue: Aw, dammit. I was hoping for something that would get my blog some subscribers. :(ReplyDelete
Of course, I could still just do it in my own style...
@HeadBody: If you want it, you got it. Honestly. We'll connect our blogs with some kind of blog partner thingy.ReplyDelete
@Blue: Yes. This is an awesome idea. Maybe we could take turns doing the recaps each week or something.ReplyDelete
On a side note, I prefer my username to be abbreviated to HBM. Not to be rude or anything.

SO Blue are you going to get the game when it comes out or just borrow it from someone? ANd what do you think of Type-0? And on a completely different note have you been watching House? What do you think about them getting rid of most of the cast?ReplyDelete
-The 1 & only Uzuki
- Behemoth KnightOctober 19, 2011 at 12:48 AM
13-2 looks alright which a big improvement in my eyes and on a side note if you pre-order different places will give you a different bonus i think amazon gives you a new playable character while gamestop gives you a different costume for Serah and Bestbuy gets a shitty book that's probably on the internet already.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 20, 2011 at 11:15 AM
Blue please recap the episode that will air on the 29th.ReplyDelete
I shall not touch it if I cannot play Snow, Sazh, or Fang, well, unless it goes on sale, gaming is too expensive for me.ReplyDelete

today was great. we unpacked some stuff, ate some delicious san luis sourdough bread, went to church, and went on a FABULOUS walk. our house is 5 feet from a bike trail that leads to the famous american river trail. while we were on our walk, we decided to be good samaritans and pick up a case of beers left on the grass. by the way, WHO DOES THAT?! and WHY DO THEY DO THAT?! ugh. it bothers me. but it inspired us. we are inspired. we are going to make a conscious effort to clean up after those that don't. and yes, i'm making us fancy "clean up" t-shirts.

My 10 favourite actors of the Golden Age
…or should I call it 'of all time'. For sure. The Internet is full of top lists like this so I'd also like to share my personal and subjective opinion with you. Some of them are well-known across the globe, others you've never heard about, but still, they were all good and famous actors, even if they didn't make it to Hollywood. Actors who knew how to play, actors who were not necessarily 'cute' or 'hot' as they should be nowadays, actors who were very charismatic and successful, but now forgotten.
1. Humphrey Bogart
Obviously no one needs a comment to this. Bogart is claimed to be number 1 on the list of the best actors of all time and I won't be an exception to this. I recommend to read his biography, it's amazing how unsuccessful he was in the beginning, how big difficulties he experienced before he became famous. Everyone knows 'Casablanca' but I personally prefer the movies where he played with Lauren Bacall, the future wife, especially 'To have and to have not' from 1944.
2. Eugeniusz Bodo
Eugeniusz Bodo was the most popular actor of the pre-war cinema in Poland. He became unbelievably famous in the 30's, I guess there was not a single person who hadn't heard of him at that time. His splendid life ended tragically – in a gulag in Siberia during WWII.
3. Conrad Veidt
The unforgettable Caesar from 'The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari', but it would be unfair to remember him only because of this one movie. He was the shining star of the German expressionism style in the 20's, starring in films such as 'The Hands of Orlac' or 'A Man Who Laughs', but later also in 'Casablanca', where he played Major Strasser. He left Germany when Hitler came to power and continued his career in America.
4. Paul Newman
Well, what can I say? Just watch 'The Sting' and you will understand 🙂
5. James Dean
I know that James Dean became an icon and you can see his face on t-shirts and stickers. Still, I am a great fan. He was very talented and God only knows how he would change Hollywood hadn't not been for his sudden death.
6. Buster Keaton
I never understood why Charlie Chaplin was more popular than him! His sad face was adorable, his misfortunes were funny, he was a total opposite to Chaplin, but still, they used to compete with each other, at least that was what the public wanted to hear. And the best thing that could happen at the end of their careers was appearing in 'Limelight' where Charlie and Buster, both old and at the end of their lives, share a scene together.
7. Groucho Marx
The famous Marx brothers were the greatest comedians of their time. The tricks that they were doing with the English language are genius. Poor translators who had to deal with their movie dialogues…
8. Zbigniew Rakowiecki
A totally forgotten talent from the Polish pre-war period. He managed to play in couple of films before the war broke out. Only 4 of them survived. He was an outstanding actor with the future at his feet. He died during Warsaw uprising in 1944 😦
9. Vyacheslav Tikhonov
The unforgettable Stierlitz in 'Seventeen Moments of Spring' and prince Bolkonsky in 'War and Peace' from 1967. A Soviet actor, unbelievably popular at his time in USSR and in all communist countries, including Poland.
10. ???
Number ten is for all the other actors that I haven't mentioned even though they deserve it. I could think of another 10, 20 or even 50 actors who should be on this list. I bet you could add your suggestions, too. This is what I like about films the most – no matter how many of them you watch, how knowledgeable you are, there will be still new films, new great actors to discover and there's no end to that. So let's continue to search for new inspirations away from the mainstream cinema of our time, it's worth it 🙂

Jon takes a break at a lonesome bus stop.
After a grueling few days toiling in the Cantabrain Mountains, we descended into the Spanish plains, a place where I'm told the rain tends to accumulate. Long and flat and stretching as far as the eye can see, the roads were a welcome respite to the hilly terrain of the previous days riding. Still following the Camino de Santiago we traveled the prairie roads for four days into Basque country, finally ending in Pamplona. Physically the route may have been flat, but it still had ts share of ups and downs. Along the way we battled heavy headwinds, dull-road induced boredom, and even a few injuries. It was hard to complain, however, what with the sunny skies and cottonball clouds hanging overhead. To top it all off, there wasn't a drop of rain the whole time. Take a look:
A donkey completely ignores his water bowl just outside the town of St. Martin
On the road heading to Burgos.
Little boxes on the hillside
A sign marks the pilgrims trail, Camino de Santiago.
We made some friends in at an albergue in the small town of Azorfa, Spain. They had lots of extra food so they kindly offered to share their dinner with us. Free dinner? Yes please.
Not the most inviting swimming pool, but when it's hot you can't really be too choosy.
A quiet road in Estrella, Spain, the last town before reaching Pamplona.
A river passes through Estrella.
This is the main square in the old section of Pamplona. The Iruna Cafe in the distance is one of the main settings for Ernest Hemmingway's novel, "Fiesta: The Sun Also Rises."
There was a general work strike on the day we visited. It really seemed like people just wanted another excuse not to work. No one really seemed to be to less passionate about protesting than they were about hanging out with their friends and playing hacky-sack on the grass. Or maybe that's how the protest in Spain.
The view from my window.
The world famous Fiesta in Pamplona, scheduled to begin July 7th. The road looks quite now, but during event the streets are transformed into a giant gauntlet where massive bulls with razor sharp horns run down the cobbled paths in the hopes of gorging a drunk tourist. Somtimes they get lucky, but mostly they just get corralled and eventually killed. Good times.

Comments about MXL V63M Stereo Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone:
I bought this on the last blowout and have been quite pleased with the sound quality. I have some moderately high quality mics and have worked in a variety of pro studios over the years, so have a good sense of good versus bad versus great. This mic sounds great on acoustic guitars, allowing them to sit nicely in the mix even with no post processing.No, this doesn't sound like $2000 worth of mics and would be of limited use in a true pro studio. But it sounds every bit as good as some of my $200+ mono mics and would be a good value at it's normal price. It's a steal at the blowout price and a great addition to any semi-pro or home studio.

Comments about MXL V63M Stereo Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone:
I've used this on a dozen tracks for acoustic guitar, high-strung guitar, mandolin, Celtic harp and dobro. It's a superb mic with very little proximity effect, an open, punchy and natural sound with clear, bright highs. Just amazing for the money.
Comments about MXL V63M Stereo Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone:
I got this mic bundled with a M-Audio recording package. I've had it for about 2 months now and it's great for the tiny home studio. I use it for vox and acoustic (which is the intention, I believe). It records well without too much influence over the sound at all. Pretty transparent as far as I can tell. I am deaf in the left, though.

Norm Chow spent 27 seasons as an assistant coach at Brigham Young, but USC's offensive coordinator said Tuesday that there is no special motivation to defeat the Cougars on Saturday at the Coliseum.
Chow left BYU after the 1999 season to become offensive coordinator at North Carolina State.
When longtime Cougar Coach LaVell Edwards retired after the 2000 season, BYU hired Gary Crowton, the Chicago Bears' offensive coordinator who had been head coach at Louisiana Tech.
"I did not sit around waiting for the head coaching job," said Chow, who still has a home in Utah. "I was promised all kinds of things if I stayed. Administrations change, people change and we moved on.
"There [are] no bitter or tough feelings about it."
Chow left North Carolina State for USC in January 2001. Last season, he won the Broyles Award as the nation's top assistant coach. After the regular season, he turned down an opportunity to become head coach at Kentucky.

yesterday jeremy got out of bed when i left for work (about 45 inutes before he needs to get up) to go running. then he was going to go again with me after work except i fell asleep and was too groggy when he got home to go. he is amazing. i love running with him so much more than running by myself, even though he is much faster. he likes running with me because i am better at keeping a steady pace so even though he is ahead of me, he can still pace himself by looking back to see where i am and run for longer distances. we make a pretty good team. hopefully after my race this weekend (when i no longer have a race that i am "training" for) we keep up our 2-3x weekly runs around the block.
we are gearing up for the next mosaic production, broke. we stage managed broke last year and it was awesome. the show and its elements have been workshopped and improved and we are excited to be a part of broke 2.0! the performances are during our westside and mayan gathering times on may 10 and then a freestanding performance at william carey university on the 15th. we have our first meeting tonight (jeremy is the technical director - he is moving up in the world!) and i cant wai tto get a copy of the script!
i saw kevin mckidd (one of the doctors on greys anatomy) at trader joes on sunday. actually jeremy saw him (he has a great eye for spotting greys anatomy characters in the wild even though he claims to hate the show) and discreetly pointed him out to me. he was buying produce, wearing crocs. stars! they're just like us! or just like that percentage of the population ho thinks it is socially acceptable to wear crocs outside of the garden/hospital! maybe he wears them for authenticity on the show and had just come from a read through or something. anything is better than the probable truth. boy is wearing crocs for fun.
anyone else thankful that we never have to watch matt sing again on american idol? i will see him on ellen on monday (she has all the losers on her show) but after that... good bye and good riddance. if adam had been voted off i think i would have quit watching the show. or at least watched it, but not paid as rapt attention to it. or something.

Most brands have a "pretty decent" email marketing program, but could it be better? Take a look at these 10 things to try and improve your engagement.
1. Take a hard look at your preference strategy. There are three tips on capturing preferences: ask them, observe them and group them (into categories). Use your preference page to ask the consumer about her other channel preferences, including informing her about your social media outlets.
2. Synchronize and correct your data. Many businesses have multiple sources of consumer data; make sure that your data is updated and easily accessible to all channels. A simpler way to audit is to check if your "other sources" of data match up with the master source of data. Read more...

Meet Darla,
Thank you for your interest in my abilities to assist you in buying or selling your home. Just a brief background: I have a degree in Business Communications from the University of Oklahoma (Boomer Sooner) and worked in the software industry for many years. As the first "female" sales executive for EDS (Ross Perot's company) in the financial services industry, I sold facilities management to large financial institutions worldwide. These were multi-million contracts with a sales cycle of up to 3 years. It was quite an educational experience proving myself being female, young and dealing with mostly male executives in the late ?O's! After EDS was sold to General Motors, I moved to Shared Financial Systems where I was Senior Vice President of Sales selling software to companies such as American Express, Visa, Diner's Club and MasterCard. My clients were Sr. Management Executives (many times CEO's, COO's or CFO's) of major institutions where I continued to use my professional negotiating and sales skills. These two professional positions along with owning my own retail store in Carmel, CA certainly prepared me for my future real estate career!
I joined Coldwell Banker in 1991 where I was "Rookie of the Year" and continued with various real estate awards and recognitions with Equitable Real Estate, Russ Lyon/ Sotheby's Real Estate and Re/Max Platinum Living these last 3 years. In 2013 I was awarded the coveted "Platinum One Award" for converting/closing the highest number of office generated leads. I am a member of the 2013, 2014, and on target for 2015
"Re/Max National 100% Club". I attribute my success to my dedication and knowledge of the industry, ongoing education and training, and loving what I do. And of course my new and reoccurring client base. My greatest joy comes from helping people from all walks of life - everyone has a "story". As a volunteer for Hospice of the Valley, involvement in my church, and contributing a portion of every commission check to Phoenix Children's Hospital I am a true believer in giving back. That's where my true happiness lies.
My husband and I live and work in DC Ranch. He is also a realtor and sold the first open house he held open - $1.2M!!! Through many experiences I am in the beginning stages of writing a humorous and heartfelt book about real estate and how it has shaped my views about people, personalities and the unique gifts we all have. My favorite quote of all times is quite apropos to real estate. Maya Angelou said "Laugh as much as possible, always laugh. It's the sweetest thing one can do for oneself and one's fellow human beings." One MUST keep a sense of humor in this industry! I love what I do and look forward to helping you in the future. I will work tirelessly, hard and smart for you!!

Happy Madison gets Tim Herlihy to write Pixels
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant
Adam Sandler's Happy Madison company has asked long time buddy and collaborator Tim Herlihy to write a screenplay for PIXELS. PIXELS is based on a short video by Patrick Jean that was super popular on the internet earlier this year. The video takes the concept of characters from 1980's video games that come out of the television and start attacking New York City. Sandler and company want to turn this into a Ghostbuster-like comedy (which would probably star Adam Sandler himself). Tim Herlihy probably rings a bell as he has done many films with Adam Sandler that include: THE WEDDING SINGER, THE WATERBOY, BEDTIME STORIES and is the writer for the upcoming JUST GO WITH IT, which co-stars Jennifer Aniston.
This film sounds fun and even though I think Sandler's films aren't as good as they used to be, this could redeem him in my book. The only way it could end badly is if he decided not to star in it himself and cast someone like Rob Schneider in it instead, that would be really bad.

It's not quite clear what went wrong here for German diver Stephan Feck. The approach looks good. The 3 ½ somersaults went okay. But during the time between the somersaults and hitting the water, things turn bad really quickly.
And we do mean bad.

Is it making me crazy that I can't find them?? YES!!!
See the way there is no "key" sticking out from the fob? It is called a switchblade key. It folds into the fob....where some computer chip is as well.

As the Lang's marriage suffers in the new no-sex regime (Robby tries various ridiculous strategies for reviving Dory's interest, including a sex-related board game, a shared candle-lit bath, and snuggling under a "Cumfy" two-person blanket/wrap), their daughter is discovering her sexuality with Eli, the son of the new drama teacher who lives down the street from the Langs.
Meanwhile, the drama teacher is preparing to stage Lysistrata at Elro High--Lysistrata is the Greek comedy in which the women stage a sex strike as an anti-war protest. The parallels between the play and the spell sweeping through the women of Stellar Plains start to seem more than coincidental--even Willa is eventually affected, breaking Eli's heart. Events reach a humorous climax at the performance of Lysistrata.
The Uncoupling is an amusing book--despite not being a fan of "magical realism," I enjoyed reading it. Unfortunately, however, while Wolitzer makes various pronouncements about sexuality, marriage, gender differences, and aging, none of them are enlightening. So read The Uncoupling for fun--but not to learn anything about relationships.
Favorite passage:
People like to warn you that by the time you reach the middle of your life, passion will begin to feel like a meal eaten long ago, which you remember with great tenderness. The bright points of silver. The butter in its oblong dish. The corpse of a chocolate cake. The leaning back on a chair at the end, slugged on the head and overcome.

Smith hit .284 with 15 homeruns and 59 RBIs over 476 at-bats in 2011. Niese made 26 starts for the Mets and went 11-11 with a 4.40 ERA, striking out 138 guys while walking 44 over 157.1 innings.
Smith has been a very consistent player over the last few years with 15 homeruns, 50 RBIs, and low strikeout numbers. However, he is slugging .140 points higher at Coors for his career. Not the kind of number you want to see when you are trading for a player.
I also see not fit for him. He is a better fielder than Lucas Duda (that's not saying much), but I think Duda will show a significantly better bat if he gets a full year to start and Jason Bay isn't going anywhere with that contract.
I haven't even mentioned yet that the Mets would be dealing a young, controllable pitcher who still has a chance to improve—which I think he will. For a team that is clearly trying to get younger and rebuild even if the General Manager refuses to say it this just makes no sense.
I hope it is just one of those stories thrown other there without substance because I don't see how this is beneficial. Trading Niese for Travis D'Arnaud makes a whole lot of sense for the Mets. For Seth Smith? None at all unless there is a pretty damn good prospect coming over with Smith.
If this deal does happen it will just prove what makes the Mets, "the Mets".

Here's some glimpses of what my weekend looked like. I had a fun one. Spending time with friends and family and staying out till late at night. Drinking tea at this magic place and doing yoga here. Ah weekends! I don't work at all on my thesis during weekends, because we need a time off from each other (well, I do).
Every day of this week I have been thinking about blogging, but somehow I haven't found (or taken) the time to do so. And as blogging makes me happy, and I also feel a need to blog and a responsibility to deliver new content to you, my dearest readers, I should just cut the crap and get on with all the wonderful posts I have in mind. But for now, I need some sleep. See you tomorrow, sweet peeps.

Payroll Sales Pro Issue #34: Use Your Contacts to Increase Payroll Sales
October 17, 2016
October 17, 2016
As you learn the ins and outs of being a Payroll Referral Rep, the best way to start is to use the people you know to help you become confident in your new role within the payroll business. Pitching a payroll processing system to "friendly" prospects will enhance both your skills and sales.
Success breeds success. --Mia Hamm
Use Your Contacts to Increase Payroll Sales
Want to be successful referring payroll but are unsure where to start? Start where you are most likely to be successful—with folks you already know--and you will be able to build upon those successes and gain the traction necessary to create an additional stream of residual income.
We've been working closely with Andrew H. from Atlanta, Georgia, and this week he wrote in to our website to give our other payroll referral reps some advice about what's been working well for him. We thought it was such good information that we'd reprint it here:
Andrew wrote:
"When I signed up to be a payroll referral rep, I found the number one best way to begin successfully referring was to talk to the people I already knew.
"I made a list of everyone I knew that either owned their own small business or was in a position where they could get me an "in" with the decision-maker.
"I simply started working down my list starting with the people I knew the best--it was easier that way since when I made a few mistakes or didn't know the answer they were more forgiving and let me get back to them with the answers they needed.
"I got several invoices and handed them over to the sales team--within just a couple of weeks I had two sales and two more are pending right now.
"I got commission direct deposited the week after the first company ran their payroll. I have been impressed by how smoothly it all happened and I'm excited that I'll be getting residual commission to add to my full time job.
"Now I'm working down my list to people I don't know as well, but having experienced some success I am definitely going to keep going.
"My advice to people is to definitely work your best known contacts first and not to get discouraged if you get a few rejections. I got a few "no's" but kept going, and soon I'll be getting residuals on four accounts."
What Andrew didn't share here (but that we have gotten permission to add) is that he leaned on us here at the home office, maybe more than he thought he should. Since payroll is a new avenue for him, Andrew naturally had more questions than a seasoned payroll business services expert would have, and we helped provide him with the answers and resources to help guide him through the process.
Andrew called us several times to help him answer client questions and to give him ideas to help him bring up points his contacts could use to help them make the decision to switch their payroll.
We have been happy to help Andrew, and by extension all of our payroll referral reps, because helping him be successful benefits all of us.
Andrew's approach to contacting "friendly" prospects first has enabled him to achieve success with folks who, as he says, are naturally more forgiving of any lack of knowledge he might have; they are more willing to wait for him to get the answers to his questions and to overlook any hesitation he might have with how the process works.
If you are contemplating how best to get started (or increase your success rate) you might also look to your circle of friends and acquaintances for some of your best prospects. And then feel free to reach out to us to answer questions and provide the support you need to be successful referring payroll.
All it takes to refer payroll is to obtain a payroll invoice from the client, then send it to us and we'll take it from there. When the client signs up with payroll, you get paid a residual commission for the life of the client.
Remember, PayPros can typically save them 20-25% over what they are currently paying and they will get a dedicated customer service rep that really knows them and the ins and outs of their business.
Ask them for a current invoice, send it to us, and when it closes you get residual commission for the life of the client.

A state appeals court said American Apparel's founder cannot sue for defamation based on a press release that announced his termination.
The California Second District Court of Appeal said Dov Charney's case, Charney v. Standard General, was barred as a Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation and affirmed a trial court's order dismissing the case. Judge Terry Green had thrown out the case because Charney could not show a likelihood of prevailing.
"I think there's more likelihood that I'd be the first American astronaut on Mars before this plaintiff wins this lawsuit," he said.

I wanna start out on Tuesday. We were getting ready to go to our chapel for a district meeting when we got a knock on our door. I thought it was pretty odd but still went to check. Well guess who it was... The Jehovah's Witnesses. haha boy do I wish I had some time for them that day. We had to go to our meeting though. It was great. The kid, about 20, was going out and the first words out of his mouth was "Ohh..." We meet him a few weeks ago at his house. So he told us a little about what they do. The next words were "hey now I know where you live." I wanted to say, "Yeah we know where you live and you know where we live so if we ever need a good bible bash just come over". haha no but we had a good chat with him and wished him luck on his journey. It was a pretty funny way to start out the day!
With the new transfer here and with me still in Charters Towers and Ayr I wanted to really work harder than ever. I am 99% sure I will not be here next transfer. Eight months is a long time in one area. Anyway so we kicked it into turbo mode and started to work even harder. We were more diligent, caring, and more organized. We wrote in the area book every night and we also had no fear.
It all started out in our district meeting. We had some really good training and it inspired all of us. Usually our district leader sets the goals for the month but this time he had us text in what we as a companionship wanted and then he added them all up from everybody. Well we all have high goals so our district goal is just way up there!! 9 baptized, 25 people on b date, 55 member presents, 88 other lessons, 35 new investigators and so on. So they are pretty high for a few small areas. But like I said our district meeting was inspiring and we have all worked harder than ever before.
We were in Charters this week and it was hot. We meet with Angus a couple of times just to keep him going on the right track. All we have to do right now is wait for his birth certificate to come in the mail and then submit his marriage certificate. Then the 30 day countdown begins!! So we are gonna cut it close to transfer day. I don't think the Lord will have just kept me here this long to not see him baptized. So keep him and the mailman in your prayers.
Like I said we have high goals and everyone laughed when we saw them in our meeting but we worked hard this week. I looked at them and said why not. We picked this, now let's do it. So boy did we ever do it this week.
Every second we had we were finding. In the middle of the day with all the heat or even when it was getting late and almost time to go back to the flat. We were out. We got the most contacts we have ever gotten on my mission and pretty much broke all of our previous numbers for the last transfer in this week. 140 contacts, 11 other lessons, 2 member presents, 2 at sacrament ,11 potentials. Now it was not just us doing this. We could see the Lord's hand in our work. It was amazing. But with hard work comes opposition.
When we push harder so does Satan. He was really trying to slow the work down this week. Maybe you remember a few months ago we had a big Facebook thing go around about us and dogs. Well it took a big hit in our numbers and really made it hard for us. Well if finally cooled down a month or two ago... until this week. Geez these stupid dogs and Satan causes so much contention. The whole street knows we are coming because when one dog starts the rest of them come in. So #1 the dogs bark and drive everybody crazy. #2 I was walking along a fence and a dog got spooked because the fence was a big wood one and there was a hole. So when I went by the hole the dog got scared and barked even harder.
Well the lady of the house came running out yelling and screaming and cursing me off. I humbly took it and apologized for anything I did wrong. She continued to go off at me and then called the cops. So we said sorry for walking by and walked away. Well the cops drove by a few times during the day to keep an eye on us. Nothing wrong with that. The bad part comes when she posted on Facebook that we were traumatizing dog. So first it was poisoning dogs and now it is traumatizing them. Geez man it was nuts.
Charters has nothing better to do except gossip on Facebook. So within the day everybody was talking about us again and going off. We went to a member's house and read the comments and posts. It was bad. We were wondering why nobody was answering their door that day. Well it was because the people were stalking us. It went like this. " hick street. They are on hick street. Oh now they are on Hodkinson St. Watch out. They are coming.'' So people got a warning to just pretend no one was home. It was the biggest pain in the butt. I did so much praying and more praying and by the end of the day the lady that started it had a change of heart and took it all down. So we are in the clear again. Take that one Satan. The Lord's work will always press on no matter what you throw at us.
Another funny dog experience was not as bad but really funny for us. There was a dog about my dog Ljufa's size. So not big but still able to give you a good bite if he wanted to. The dog was barking and going crazy at us but when we stepped into the yard he ran to the back. There was a big sign that said "Beware of the dog. Enter at your own risk." So we took that risk and the lady of the house came running out in a frantic scream. "What the curse word are you doing in my yard. Can't you read the bloody sign???" I answered back, "Yes I can read." Then I wanted to say but did not. Can you read. I didn't though. Just yes I can. So she asked what it said. I answered, "Beware of the dog." She said, "Yes now get out of my yard." I said, "Wait it says more. ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK. I am a missionary and I am willing to risk this to share this message with you." We thought we were gonna have a great missionary experience but instead she just shut the door. It was pretty funny.
The rest of the week we just worked hard. We got some great new people to teach and some great people to follow up with. So we are really excited for what is to come. I want to leave this area knowing I gave it my all and leave it ready for the next guy.
Sunday we got a call from our zone leaders. They called and said where were you this week?? Charters Towers... What did you do all week? Mission work...are you sure?? Yes it was a really good week... Uh yeah this is the best numbers we have ever seen from your area and your district. It was great!! They were so impressed and proud. It was just fun to see that when we really do give it our all miracles happen and people recognize it. We could not have done it without the Lord's help. It was just such a good week and we are excited to be back in Ayr. Elder Bo said the ZL need to get ready for next Sunday when we send in the numbers. They are gonna be doubled for this week. So now we really need to get going and work hard. It is just so fun when you get lost in the work and really try to help people grow closer to the Lord. You go to bed feeling so good.
Before I sign off it is time for one last story. This time in Ayr. We got back on Saturday evening went to bed, woke up, went to church and then came back to our flat to find the power off. No power again. Nothing was on to trip a circuit board or anything. So we called the mission office. They made some calls and we got the manager, owner, and electrician to come out. By the way it was Sunday so this was just so amazing that they could come out. Before they came over we had a prayer that we could fix everything and solely focus on thy work this week. Well it turned out great! They came and had to do some digging and find the cable coming to out flat. There was a faulty circuit on the main complex board and not just our unit. So they got it all fixed and now we are set to go!!
This week is going to be amazing!! Thank you for your prayers and loving support!! Have a good week.

Regular price: $2.99
[Contains explicit content] We often describe Sounds Like America as a road trip with comedians at the wheel. That's a loose metaphor for a "rollicking and slightly romanticized journey with funny weirdos hosting." However, this episode is actually literally about road trips and driving, and your host is none other than actually literally Reggie Watts. You'll hear about the dangers of accidental napkinization, which car rages the hardest, the allure of hooking up in your vehicle, and much more.
The comedy in this episode was recorded at live venues all around the country. It features Jon Huck, Gabe Kea, Jackson Banks, Heywood Banks, Graham Elwood, Alonzo Bodden, Zoltan Kaszas, Auggie Smith, JR Brow, Erin Foley, Jarrod Harris, Michael Palascak, Godfrey, Arnez J, and Mike Birbiglia.
You will also hear interviews with Karen Kilgariff, Chris Fairbanks, Harrison Greenbaum, Anna Seregina, Matt Lieb, Casey James Salengo, and Alex Koll.

Seattle attorney Mark Prothero, one of Gary Ridgway's attorney's has written (with Carlton Smith) Defending Gary: Unraveling the Mind of the Green River Killer.
The publisher's information about the book is here.
See the review by Gene Barton in the September 2006 Bar Bulletin. Here's a taste:
Prothero, who along with the other members of the defense team and Norm Maleng's prosecution team, was one of KCBA's Attorneys of the Year for 2003, saves his most biting - and delightful - criticisms for the FBI and its serial killer "science." The mousy, often tearful, unassuming man, with the big glasses and the doughy face, befuddled and confounded an FBI profiler sent to interview him because he could not be made to fit the mold. The serial killer profile "is what it is," the FBI tells us, and cannot, will not be circumscribed by the protestations of a killer who, for example, insists that he did not collect "trophies" from his victims. Ridgway, who by all accounts actually told the truth about this, took jewelry from his victims, but often left it scattered around his workplace to be found by female employees. They often wore it - rather than turning it in - much to Ridgway's delight.The book is available in the law library (HV6533.W2 P76 2006 at Good Reads) and through Summit.
The one true insight comes very early on and that is into Prothero's motivation, not Ridgway's. In my days as a reporter on the crime and courthouse beat, I once asked a public defender how he could defend people who he knew were guilty of the crimes with which they were charged. His response was simple, yet profound: "Even the guilty have constitutional rights." Prothero follows the same credo and it is an admirable one.
Prothero's website has two domain names, by the way: www.markprothero.com and www.washingtoncriminaldefenselawyer.com.
Filed in: books, Prothero, Ridgway, Barton, Smith, KCBA, FBI, criminal-defense, serial-killers

After reading many posts on the forums here, I have been going through my collection, and I am re-evaluating all of my pieces. This one I believe is a fake becasue the quality doesn't seem to be there.
The back seems wrong. Looks like a piece of the 4th Reich.
