Tasha Fouts
It is this hammered mouth, this
slit of drool and dank,
this mold of pressed grooves, of
grime, of penny holes and screws.
This is the trumpeter's mouth piece,
metal tonguing skin, the curve
of rim against nostril, the curve
of rim against teeth, this
curve of mind yelling, pieces
pilchering through rushes of dank.
It is not a love spike, but screws
that mouth me here, all full of
brambles and stick. This is the of
that holds me on threaded curves,
on the ride of screws.
But is it all of this?
A pressed hum and a river dank?
No, it is love in pieces,
everything in pieces,
the trench that I lap of
copper, breaths, my dank,
the pitted veins I curve.
I resign to all of this.
The blare of a burning screw,
the slivers of that burning screw
the pieces and the pieces of pieces
of that and of this
of course, of course, of course, of
courses stripping about curves,
and tempers glorying the dank.
Bright nostrils of dank,
screeching songs of screws,
rumbles waking the curves.
Is this to be my piece?
two lines scrambled off;
a trumpet crying of this.

Ricciardo rules out joining Mercedes F1Dec 21, 2016 - 4:23 AM Formula One ace Daniel Ricciardo has ruled out filling the "damn good" seat at Mercedes next season, saying he's committed to Red Bull for the next two years.
Mercedes are on the lookout for a new driver to team with Lewis Hamilton following the shock retirement of world champion Nico Rosberg.
Mercedes were rumoured to be interested in luring Ricciardo their way, but the 27-year-old says he's staying put at Red Bull.
"I've got two more years at Red Bull. That's where I'm going to be," Ricciardo said in Perth on Wednesday.
"There's a lot of people that are tempted to jump into that (Mercedes) seat, and you don't blame them. I just hope whoever gets it appreciates it. It's a damn good one.
"But for me, you'll see me at Albert Park in a Red Bull."
Williams driver Valtteri Bottas is expected to join Mercedes, who were a class above their rivals this year.
As part of the musical chairs, Felipe Massa is set to come out of retirement to rejoin Williams in place of Bottas.
Ricciardo said he looked back at his 2016 campaign very fondly, despite Red Bull's cars falling well short of being able to consistently challenge Mercedes.
The West Australian finished third in the Championship race, with his sole victory coming at the Malaysian Grand Prix.
It wasn't only on the track where Ricciardo impressed.
His trademark celebration of drinking alcohol out of his own shoe - dubbed a shoey - catapulted him into cult hero status.
Even upon his return to Perth for Christmas, Ricciardo has been reminded of his shoey exploits.
"I was having lunch yesterday in a cafe, just having a salad," Ricciardo said.
"I reckon this lady was in her 80s, and she goes, 'I'm waiting for you to take your shoe off and drink out of it'.
"It's even spread that wide that I'm expected to do it from 80-year-olds at lunch.
"I said, 'Look love, it's only a Tuesday'."
Ricciardo is West Coast's No.1 ticket holder, and he caught up with his friend Nic Naitanui at Eagles training on Wednesday.
The forecast 40-degree heat didn't deter either of them.
"Living in Europe, we don't really get this Aussie heat. So I crave it when I come home," said Ricciardo, who will be firmly in holiday mode over the next week.
"I'm just looking forward to spending time with mates and family over the next few weeks. And then focus on next year."

HYDERABAD: As Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and automation continue to replace our jobs, the same technologies help companies to hire the right candidates too.
Hiring candidates is a tedious task as the recruiter first has to screen a pile of resumes, identify some candidates, conduct skill tests and finally check the references.
With advanced technology making inroads into people's life, it is only logical that AI/ML is being used to pass on some of our mundane tasks to the machines.
Recruitment is one area that takes a considerable chunk of HR department's time. Most of the vacancies are now announced online through LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter or other job portals. While this makes it easy to apply for a job, the challenge is for the recruiter to hunt out the relevant resumes.
With AI and ML automation software, companies such as Amazon and Microsoft are able to function efficiently even when they receive numerous resumes.
"Lots of HR staff try to find out matching skills manually which in turn get rejected finally by the technical manager. We use existing databases such as LinkedIn to find out more about a person. Using Machine Learning, we can easily cut down the number of resumes from 100 profiles to 10 relevant ones," Hari Krishna, co-founder of Hyderabad based Param.ai, said.
Several big organisations are opting to shift from a traditional recruiter to a strategic one. Even after the profiles are shortlisted using such techniques, technical interviews are conducted using code challenges or hackathons.
Some companies give a problem statement based on the job profile. All the shortlisted candidates who solve the problem are selected for the next round. These are organised by start-ups.
Following this, meetings are scheduled with the technical team.
"We use Machine Learning for matching profiles with job requirements wherein the algorithm gives a score after matchmaking. We then conduct code challenges with the aid of AI assisted Bot (an automated programme) meetings. The Bot understands natural language and schedules an interview based on a time suitable time to all parties," Nikunj Varma , co-founder of Cutshort, said.
Cutshort has been helping companies such as Google, Microsoft, Myntra, Uber, Snapdeal, Flipkart and Twitter with their automation tools in recruiting candidates. The conventional recruitment is time consuming and labour intensive.
There has been an increase in number of start-ups providing automation tools to big companies. Even Google has a programme called Cloud Jobs that makes use of Machine Learning for recruitment.

I didn't even spammed or created mass accounts. Just using Twidium software for 2 of my accounts to follow others. That's all.

Jeannie woke me up this morning, worried that she parked the car on the wrong side of the street last night and that it had been towed this morning. Turns, out she just forgot where she parked, which is nice because it costs like $200 to get your car bach when they tow it.
My back has been bothering me the last few days, after improperly moving some boxes around at work last Thursday.
The other night we headed over to Katie's house for the first meeting of the Dinner Club, a rotating party where, like once a month, we'll have dinner over at somebody's house. I volunteered to host hotdog night.
Also, we found out that our friend Gena will be coming out for a visit in 1.5 weeks, which is nice because we've wanted to have visitors lately. We're also looking forward to our upcoming trip to Ohio later in September, where we'll get to hang out with the cool kids and see a production of Schlueter's play. Pretty exciting stuff, indeed.

To answer the OP: A lot of Paintball fields are moving to bio only, the ministry of environment is the protagonist behind this. Most fields limit what bb's you can use, including weights.
Some dont allow bio

text: 1. The suit out of which this appeal has arisen was brought by the plaintiff-appellant to recover certain property sold by his mother Musammat Bhawani, during his minority on the 7th of July 1896. The plaintiff attained majority on the first of July 1901 and instituted the suit on the 14th of August 1907. His allegation was that his mother had no authority to sell the property and that there was no necessity for the sale. He asked for a declaration that the sale was void and could not affect his interests, and, as stated above, he sought to recover possession of the property comprised in the sale. The Court of first instance decreed the claim in part. The lower appellate Court held that the sale by the mother was for the benefit of the minor to the extent of Rs. 285, that is to say, that there was necessity for raising that sum for the benefit of the minor and to save his other property, and that to that extent the minor was liable. It made a decree for possession subject to the condition that the plaintiff should make good to the defendants Rs. 285, otherwise the suit would stand dismissed. From this judgment two appeals were preferred and were disposed of by a learned Judge of this Court. He held that the claim was barred by limitation, not having been brought within three years from the date on which the plaintiff attained-majority, and he applied to it the provisions of Article 91 of Schedule II of the Indian; Limitation Act No. XV of 1877, and dismissed the suit in its entirety. From the judgment of the learned Judge of this Court this Appeal and the connected Appeal No. 83 of 1909 have been preferred. It is contended that article 91 of Schedule II of the Limitation Act of 1877, does not apply to a case like this. In our judgment this contention is well founded. The suit of the plaintiff is not one to set aside a document executed by himself, but to recover immovable property belonging to him, which, according to him, had been alienated by his guardian without valid authority to do So. Such a suit is in reality a suit for the recovery of immovable property, and the prayer for a declaration that the sale does not affect the plaintiff's rights is only ancillary to the substantive claim for possession. As was pointed out by the Madras High Court in Enni v. Kunchi Amma 14 M. 26, when a person seeks to recover property against an instrument executed by himself, or one, under whom he claims, he must first obtain the cancellation of the instrument, and the three years' rule enacted by article 91 applies to any suit brought by such person'. But, 'where an instrument of alienation is executed by a person who is not the full owner of the property, but has only conditional authority to dispose of it, that article would not apply'. The learned Judges proceed to observe such are the cases of a guardian for minor, the manager of a Hindu family, or the sonless widow in a divided Hindu family'. In these cases, as was argued by the appellant's Vakil, 'it is not only not necessary, but it is not possible, to have the instrument of alienation cancelled and delivered up, because, as between the parties to it, it may be a perfectly valid instrument. All that is needed is a declaration that the plaintiff's interest is not affected by the instrument, and that declaration is merely ancillary to the relief, which may be granted by delivery of possession.' A similar view was held by this Court in several cases, of which we may refer to the case of Abdul Rahman v. Sukhdayal Singh 28 A. 30 : A.W.N. (1905) 176 : 2 A.L.J. 507. The same principle was laid down in Jhamman Kunwar v. Tiloki 25 A. 435, and also in Ram Dei Kunwar v. Abu Jaffar 27 A. 494 : A.W.N. (1905) 68. We are accordingly unable to agree with the learned Judge's view that Article 91 applies to a case like this, and that the suit should have been brought within three years of the date on which the plaintiff attained majority. The article applicable to such a suit is, in our judgment, Article 141. It was contended by the learned Vakil for the respondents that as the lower appellate Court in its judgment held that the sale made by the plaintiff's guardian was for necessity, a decree for possession of the property ought not to have been made. It is true that in its finding on issue No. 5 the lower appellate Court said that Musammat Bhawani as de facto guardian was competent to execute the sale-deed of 7th July 1896, in favour of the defendants, and that it was executed for the plaintiff's benefit, but this finding must be read with the finding on the 4th issue, which is to the effect that a portion of the consideration for the sale namely, Rs. 285, was for the benefit of the plaintiff. The learned Additional Judge accordingly made a decree for possession, subject to the condition that the plaintiff should pay to the defendants the aforesaid sum of Rs. 285 within a time fixed. 'We think that the lower appellate Court was right in making a decree in the terms referred to above. The guardian of the plaintiff had no authority to sell his property except for his benefit, and if the plaintiff benefited only in respect of a part of the sale consideration he is in equity liable to make good to the purchasers the portion of the consideration by which he benefited, and he would be entitled to recover the property only on condition of his paying to the purchasers that portion of the consideration. The learned Vakil for the respondents asks us to affirm the decree of the first Court which granted to the plaintiff a decree for a portion only of the property. We find no justification for the course adopted by that Court. The principle hitherto applied by the Courts in respect of such transaction, is to make a decree for the property transferred by the guardian, but to attach to the decree the condition that the plaintiff should pay to the transferee so much of the consideration as was for his benefit, or for which, there was a justifying necessity. We may refer to Gobind Singh v. Baldeo Singh 25 A. 330, in which, the widow of a separated Hindu, had sold property belonging to the estate of her deceased husband, and the sale as to a portion of the consideration was justified by legal necessity, and as to the remainder of the, consideration not so justified, it was held, that it was competent to the next reversioner to sue for and obtain a decree for the property on payment of such portion of the consideration as represented moneys borrowed by the widow for legal necessity. The principle laid down in that case applies to a sale by a guardian where a part only of the consideration was such as was binding upon the minor. The same view was held in the case of Ram Dei Kunwar v. Abu Jaffar 27 A. 494 : A.W.N. (1905) 68. For these reasons we are of opinion that the decree of the lower appellate Court was right. We accordingly allow the appeal, set aside the decree of this Court and restore that of the lower appellate Court with costs. We extend the time for payment of Rs. 285 mentioned above for a period of two months from this date.

...slowly but surely, Agoraphobics Anonymous is taking shape.
The past couple of chapters haven't been pleasant ones to write - a suicide, an alcoholic with bipolar disorder crashing and burning....but that's the stark reality of life with mental ill-health. Not everyone is going to be lucky enough to recover and get to a point where they're happy with their life.
I look outside on this glorious, sunny summer afternoon and thank God I was never successful at my umpity-dozen suicide attempts. I look at photos of Big Toots and Little Tootsie, plus Lovely Boyfriend, and smile. No, I'm not working despite the DWP's best efforts, and I'm having to scrape by on £71 a week, but I've worked out how my head works and I manage my condition the best way I can.
But there are millions of people out there who are depressed, suicidal or just plain miserable about their lives. Not all my fictional characters will have a happy ending, but I hope that healthy people reading about their journies will take the time to think about a friend or loved one who isn't well. Mental ill-health isn't about poor will-power, or a lack of faith....it's an illness and deserves as much support as any other illness. You wouldn't tell someone with cancer to "just buck up" so don't do it to someone with chronic depression.
I promise to keep writing about mental ill-health until I run out of conditions to cover. And I hope people will keep reading the stories and develop a better understanding of everything involved.

While trying to organize my files, I came across some old shots I did of a few adorable couples! For your viewing pleasure:
Messervey/Loughead family photos in the gardens! The sun was deceiving because it was super warm in the rays, but super cold in the shade. Little Alexzandrea lasted only a few quick shots on her own, but preferred to be in someone's arms.
Spent the afternoon with fellow photographer, Carly MacKay! It was one of those moments that combined new clothes and a wonderful sunny day.
I had a wonderful surprise this afternoon from my soon-to-be family! I was showered with food and gifts! It's crazy how fast time flies, to think that I'll be married in less than 8 weeks! Having said that, the last time I saw these two kids, one was just a tiny baby and the other was a foot smaller!
I have been watching the Creative Live Lindsay Adler Workshop, and I came upon her tip about lens flare objects that she shoots through. It really reminded me of an older project I did where I used flowers as an object in front of the camera to give it a colourful effect. Here are some samples:

It's not for the sake of argument. Fox took those son of bitching words out.

Literally amazing. But not unexpected.

I write a lengthy post contending that your leftist media dishonestly and constantly use partial quotes out of context and edit videos of conservatives (we'll leave their fabricating "quotes" and outright leftling hoaxes like the Bachmann "white people" fraud for another time.)

You, in order to support your statement that Fox dishonestly edited the Hoffa video, then dishonestly take the first line of my post out of context and ignore the fact that your side is the biggest offender.

I'm actually surprised you didn't just ellipsis out the first part of that line, like this:

"...you're right about Fox editing this unfairly."

and contend that I agree with you.

This was the crux of the matter and a key fact in the larger debate. Verizon's wired sector (where the union workers are employed) has, simply due to the march of technology and the state of the art, become less important, ie profitable, to Verizon's margins.

Whether or not Verizon's striking union members have a real beef or not, their jobs are being subsidized in large part by the more profitable, and, frankly, futureproof wireless sector.Scott Mhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-21992849135098932602011-09-06T08:38:58.155-05:002011-09-06T08:38:58.155-05:00It really doesn't matter what the Union goons ...It really doesn't matter what the Union goons say or do right now.

Their gooses are cooked well beyond charred.

In California, for example, the public service unions are complicit in a scam involving pension funds.

The California public service pension funds are far, far under capitalized for the future liabilities.

Nevertheless, the union is complicit in arbitrarily setting the fund growth assumption to a level that is unattainable in the current markets.

Hence, they are really screwed unless they can get the taxpayers to pony up more money to keep then in their fixed benefit retirement.

That might have worked when the taxpayers were doing OK, but nobody in America is in the mind to hear the unions cry for shoring up their gold-plated, fix benefit retirements now.

They've fix-benefitted themselves right out of money and political power.Quaylehttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-9431638105728442112011-09-06T08:30:49.257-05:002011-09-06T08:30:49.257-05:00Link it pouty thomas or it didn't happen.Link it pouty thomas or it didn't happen.garage mahalhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-38110153625249920122011-09-06T08:27:07.979-05:002011-09-06T08:27:07.979-05:00It's not for the sake of argument.

How far can it go in threatening its most effective opposition, i.e., the Tea Party?

I believed, on the day Obama was elected, that he would one day have to be impeached, convicted and removed from office.

I did not base this belief on knowledge of any specific wrongdoing. I based it on two things: (1) an understanding of the way a corrupt Chicago politician does business, and (2) the repercussions of his "Vote for me or you're a racist" strategy.

The tradition of blowing out the candles on the birthday cake is still busy today. Who knows who did it first, which is clearly a celebration is considered less fun if not a tradition of inflatable candles.
But a surprising fact was revealed from research conducted by scientists at Clemson University, South Carolina, USA. According to the results of the study, when candles in the wind, let alone by many people, then the movement of thousands of bacteria from the mouth to the surface of the cake.
Evil bacteria attached to the surface of the birthday cake can reach the amount of 1,400 percent. Reported by Dailymail page, the condition will be more severe if the candle is difficult to go out and you have to blow it many times.
Dr Paul Dawson, the professor in the study, conducted the study for standardized food quality testing. According to Dawson himself found the idea of research topic when his son's birthday.
"I found the idea of this research from my daughter when we had dinner together," Dawson told the Daily Mail on Sunday (30/7).
The research method was done by using a frosting medium in a piece of foil, on which was placed a candle.
The media is then blown by people who previously had been eating food and doing other normal things. Thus the salivary glands have worked and the bacteria in the mouth begin to active.
After blowing the candle, the researchers calculate the amount of bacteria by diluting the frosting with sterile water. Water then placed in the container, then see the development of bacteria in it.
It is a classic method for counting the number of bacteria in a place. According to the researchers, the method was valid to conduct research and publish the results.
Examples of cases of candlelight on the birthday cake can also occur on any object, so it's good you are alert to the spread of bacteria in public places.
But according to Dawson it should not make you paranoid excessive because bacteria do exist in the environment around humans. You simply maintain health by strengthening the immune system only.

How to use PreUpgrade
- Back up all important data before upgrading.
- Run the
yum updatecommand as root to make sure all packages are updated to their latest versions.
- Run the
yum install preupgradecommand as root to install PreUpgrade.
- Run the
preupgradecommand as root to start the PreUpgrade application.
- Select the Fedora release you want to upgrade to on the Choose desired release screen, and click the Apply button.
- When all of the packages have downloaded, reboot your system to start the Fedora installer.
so i had to exclude them
yum update --exclude=xine-lib
and then there were few warning regarding the dependecies in the preupgrade , but all ended well.
the most annoying thing was the slow download of the packages.
one more thing , i am not having the linux grub , instead of that i have solaris grub , so when it reboots , u wont find an option for the upgrade in the boot menu , all u have to do that , boot into soalris and read the grub entries from the linux grub.conf and update menu.lst , and now reboot and boot into the fedora upgrade. after the upgrade it will again reboot and now again u have to make new entries in the soalris grub.conf/ menu.lst .
u all at home :) . enjoy mighty fedora 10.
another way to upgrade using yum is here.

I am currently deployed in the Middle East and Wirefly keeps trying to state that I owe the entire amount of my phone since my service is suspended due to my deployment. I have sent them my deployment orders and showed the phone in question in a screenshot that my account is suspended and I will resume it when back home in the states. I am not sure why they asked for my orders if they do not intend to use that to help my case. They are now adamant about asking for the PIN to my Verizon account. I have repeated stated I oppose this because that gives them access to my financial history and call logs with Verizon. Call log history is usually something you need a subpoena for. I have even posted my complaint on their Facebook site and someone contacted me by still reiterates the company line and is not helpful at all. My only recourse now is to pay the cost instead of them taking me to collections. I seriously doubt they will refund my "discount" once I return home and reactivate my phone which will be obsolete by then. I strongly urge anyone to stay away from Wifefly. At least if you buy directly with Verizon, you have an easier avenue for recourse.

Terms of Service
Hi Mr. Tran,
Wirefly supports our troops who have been deployed overseas and are grateful to them for their service to our country. We have handled this process hundreds of times for our active duty customers. If a customer is deployed on military duty, the carrier simply requires them to first suspend their account directly with the carrier, keeping the phone number in their name and retaining ownership of the phone. We do honor deployment paperwork and we will work with you to resolve.
Verizon reported to us that the line you upgraded through us is no longer active on your account. They have deducted the commission they pay us (and what we use to lower the cost of the phones) from our payment. Due to the nature of your situation, we have triple checked the information with Verizon where they confirmed the phone you bought from us is on another account holder's line.
We are happy to work with you and the carrier if you can provide us proof that the phone number and piece of equipment we activated has been suspended due to your deployment. Please contact us through the channels we have provided you.

You Are On God's Mind
I will not forget you. See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands.
>Isaiah 49:15–16, nkjv
Noah was totally helpless to change his situation. There was nothing he could do except to stay on the ark and tend to the needs of his family and those of the animals until God in some way brought deliverance. He had to keep his faith in God while simply waiting out the silence that followed the storm.
Although He had been silent, God had not forgotten Noah. In fact, since Noah and his family were the only living persons on the face of the earth, we can be sure they had God's total, undivided attention every moment.
Do you think God's silence in your life means He has forgotten you? Oh, no! God says He has engraved your name on the palms of His hands. He says that a mother could forget her nursing baby at mealtime before He could forget you! You are in God's heart and on His mind every moment. He is fully informed of your circumstances and will bring about change when He knows the time is right.

well...unfortunately, it looks wrong to me. The Bombers had the bomb facing downward to the swaz, but the Fighters (with the skinny bomb like yours) should be facing Up and away from the swaz. Here's a good link to show what I mean: Luftwaffe Badges
"Much that once was, is lost. For none now live who remember it."
So, it's a Bomber's clasp,then?
Eh, no Dean. It's profile is that of the fighter clasp, but facing the wrong way, so probably bad.
hmm.. Any other opinions? 'Probably' doesnt cut it. Did they EVER face down? Thanks.
Its supposed to be a long range night fighter (arrow pointing down, black wreath) but I think its a copy.
Also the flower pendant and all numbered pendants were only made in zinc.
Numbered pendants were also better aligned than this one,soft details too sorry. Stewy
I'm going to say fake for a few reasons. Details too soft, finish not right, the hanger should be made of zinc if I remember correctly, not of exactly the same material as the clasp. The trimming outlines are soft, the fit of the winged arrow onto the clasp is very poor.
I found this.
Also a fake. Just look at the winged arrow, at least the one on the first bar looks like one should.

Higher wages would lift SeaTac's economy
I have owned and operated the Bull Pen Bar & Grill in SeaTac for over 30 years. My restaurant is where people from all around SeaTac come together with family and friends to watch the Seahawks and Mariners, to celebrate birthdays and have a good steak dinner. Many of my customers, as well as others living in our city, tell me they are struggling to make ends meet. I and more than 20 other small-business owners in SeaTac believe that Proposition 1, which would generate a big boost for the local economy by establishing a $15-an-hour living wage for Sea-Tac airport, rental car and hospitality employees, will help make eating out and shopping a more commonplace affair in SeaTac.
According to a recent analysis by Puget Sound Sage, spending by workers will ripple out through the economy, resulting in $54 million in increased income for the region and more than 400 new local jobs. This will improve everyone's quality of life, and hopefully attract new businesses to SeaTac, meaning more revenue for our local government — better schools, better parks, safer streets.
The majority of the jobs covered by Proposition 1 are with large, multinational airport corporations that take their profits out of our community and give them to their CEOs and shareholders instead of to the hardworking employees who make their success possible. Alaska Airlines reported a 2012 net income of $316 million. Airport employees across all jobs covered by Proposition 1 currently make an average of $1,472 a month, below the federal poverty threshold for a family of three and far below a monthly family budget required to make ends meet in King County ($4,136).
According to Puget Sound Sage, if Proposition 1 passes, more than 6,000 men and women who work for a living will finally be entitled to earn a living.
I've heard some say that because only 20 percent live in SeaTac, it won't help our city. That's not true. Airport employees from around the region eat at the Bull Pen Pub before and after work, and for many it's a meal break between two different jobs. Think about the opportunity here. If thousands of hard-working individuals were to earn a living wage at their airport jobs, we might be able to get a new grocery store and attract more small businesses where all of us could stop and shop on our way home. This proposal gives our whole community a real chance to turn things around.
Proposals similar to Proposition 1 have passed for other, smaller airports across the country, and those communities are not only doing fine, they are thriving. Corporations at Sea-Tac airport, ranked No. 15 in the U.S. for passenger traffic, should be paying employees here as well as at St. Louis Airport, ranked No. 31, where employees make a minimum of $15.92 an hour. In San Jose, Calif., ranked No. 43, Southwest Airlines supported a living wage for airport employees to increase morale and productivity. And Syracuse Airport, which is so small it didn't even make the list, last year set a living wage of $14.40 an hour for employees. If smaller airports can do the right thing, we can too.
It's time to bring this sort of success to SeaTac. I hope other small businesses in SeaTac will join us in support of this common-sense solution to our city's continued struggles.
DON LIBERTY owns and runs the Bull Pen Pub Bar & Grill in the city of SeaTac.

Hi, Welcome to Practo, Good to hear that you have quit smoking. Are you sure that black material is coming while coughing only, or is it associated with nausea and belching. Cause this black material can be because of soot or infection in Chest.

Throughout March Escentual have upto a third off French Pharmacy brands - La Roche Posay, Vichy, Avene, A-Derma, Klorane, Caudalie, Rene Furterer and Pierre Fabre. I've heard of some of these, mainly due to the cult status some hold on blogs. I am already a huge La Roche Posay fan as I posted about the other day but there are some other favourites on my wishlist as well as some products I would love to try.
La Roche Posay Cicaplast Skin Recovery Accelerator & Cicaplast Lips - My love of the Cicaplast Baume has meant these are top of my list, the lip cream promises to reduce irritation and prevent new cracked lips appearing. Perfect. The Skin Recovery Accelerator was created with the after care of cosmetic procedures in mind, it boosts the skins recovery time. Perfect for the many acne scars I have as well as surgical scars and grazes.
Caudalie Beauty Elixir - Remember when this was THE blogger product? In every must have and every what's in my handbag post. Of course I bought into the hype.. and unfortunately actually really loved it. Jenny has a lovely post on it which I completely agree with, it basically just soothes my skin and smells divine.
Nuxe Rêve de Miel Honey Lip Balm - A few months ago I asked twitter the best lip balm as I had tried everything and nothing was working to stop the recurrence of my dry lips. I spotted this in Marks and Spencer a few weeks later after hearing lots of positive things about it. I am now on my second pot, that's how good it is. Who ever finishes lip balm! I don't know if it is the repairing honey or the soothing grapefruit but this pot of wonder is amazing, tempted to buy a back up while it is 1/3 off!
Avene Cleanance Purifying Mattifying Lotion / Toner - I love a good toner, especially one for blemish prone skin. This promises to soothe and irritation and leave skin matte. Perfect when my skin goes through it's oily stage in Summer.
Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Purpose Dry Oil Spray - This is something else that has seen a lot of love on beauty blogs. I used to be petrified of oils, even to use them on my dry hair because of the fear of it getting greasy. I am now a convert to The Body Shop's Vitamin E Serum in Oil (post here) and often use oils in my hair. This sounds like the perfect all rounder with the added spray applicator an added bonus.
Vichy Dermablend Fluid Corrective Foundation - I have blogged about my love of this foundation before, it is serious coverage and in the end I stopped using it as a foundation and moved onto using it as a concealer mainly as the shade wasn't perfect. However looking back on photos from when I used this foundation I can't believe how flawless it made my skin look, full coverage without the cakey finish some foundation causes. I am curious to try it again due to discovering buffering brushes which has completely changed the way I apply foundation (don't I sound dramatic).

Andromeda, a Show That Almost Made It
I viewed a few of the early
episodes of Andromeda
recently, and was rather
confused as to why it had
not be a huge success.
Created by Gene Roddenberry,
in a Star Trek Universe, with
interesting characters and
plots; why wasn't it a hit?
Performing the usual searches to find out why this show flopped I bounced
into a number of different purported reasons.
Some blame Kevin Sorbo, the ostensible star, others the writers, but the
fact is, Andromeda is a show that really ought have been as big as
Star Trek. (Thinking the Next Genereation or DS-9)
What it Was About
Andromeda Ascendant is set in a 'dark' universe; not the happy 'we all get
along' Star Trek future.
We begin with a Rip Van Winkle; Captain Hunt, [played by Sorbo] who had
been held in stasis by a Black Hole for three hundred years. During this time
a 'dark ages' descended on the galaxy.
The ship, Andromeda Ascendant, is to captured for salvage by Becca and
her crew, paid for by a freaky alien, who travels with his mercenaries.
Becca's crew is made up of the Geek, Shamus, a purple skinned female of unknown nature, called Trance, and a really awful looking Magog who is a
Among the mercenaries is Tyr Anasazi, a genetically enhanced human, a Nietzschean
The personalities of the named characters are complex, more interesting than
those on board the Enterprise.
During the first episode of confrontation between Captain Hunt, who is
used to the old time Star Trek Federation, and Becca and her crew who
don't know that kind of life, there is a combining of the two; that is
Becca and her crew, plus Tyr, Captain Hunt, his ship and computer.
The mission is to attempt to recreate the Federation, hence, the
Andromeda is not just flying around for exploration.
The fact the crew doesn't trust him or each other adds to the interest.
The tension between Hunt and Becca, leads to many possible incidents,
but the personality of Tyr was probably the most enticing.
Many people who watched the show remember the Tyr character, and
were intrigued by him. He was the main lure of the show.
Most expected him to be moved to co-star.
Unfortunately, this did not happen. After the second year he was more off
camera than on.
Suppositions and References
If what is believed, that is was
Sorbo or the other Producers,
or Powers which resisted
making the Tyr character the
Co-Star, that would have been
quite stupid and fly in the face
of history.
Man from U.N.C.L.E was a hit show in the 1960s. It was supposed to star Robert Vaughn.
A Scottish chap, David McCallum was only to appear in a few episodes.
He played Illya, a Russian, who, at this height of the Cold War, worked with
UNCLE and Vaughn's character, Napoleon Solo, for the good of all.
David McCallum was so popular he was called the 'blonde Beatle' . He received more fan mail than any other actor had ever done.
He was moved to co-star and the show stayed on the air.
Star Trek
In the same era, and closer to home,
the original Star Trek found itself in
a similar situation.
Mr. Spock was to be a side
character, but public excitement
moved him to co-star.
William Shatner was wise enough to appreciate that although his
character was to be the Star, to be the archetype Captain, whom
everyone might want to fly with, the public had a fascination with
Lenard Nimoy's Spock.
The Kirk character become a legend in his own right, by extending a seat on
the dias to Spock.
To have pulled ego or rank would have killed the show and ended both their careers.
The Next Generation
In Star Trek, the Next Generation
which aired the 80s, the public
became fascinated by the Klingon,
Originally he was a 'side' character,
but was soon moved to the fore.
The interest in Worf provoked more Klingon-centric scripts and more epis in which he was featured.
Denise Crosby, who objected was dispensed with, and Michael Dorn, who
played Worf continued into the Movies and then, later in the decade, to
Deep Space 9 for the producers appreciated realised without Worf the
audience wasn't there.
Back to Andromeda
The character of Tyr was the show.
Viewers were not all that interested
in the others, they've seen them
before in various incarnations.
Tyr Anasazi was new, different and
filled the screen, when he was on.
Yet, camera time remained limited,
and epis about the other characters reduced him to third man on the left.
Andromeda failed.
It could have been 'all that'. Capturing Star Trek viewers was a given, if what had been done with Worf had been done with Tyr, the show would have held interest.
Unfortunately, the Producers didn't seem to get it.
How Stupid Became More Stupid
In ancient days, i.e. Man From Uncle or Star Trek producers had to depend on the hard copy letter which had to be written and mailed to the studio. They had to depend on 'Nielson' ratings or the chat of talk shows to know how the majority of people were viewing their programs.
Because many were stupid, they let Star Trek (TOS) go off the air, Only recontructed in movies and then in The Next Generation
In the year 1999 when the Internet was available World Wide, when all one had to do was a search to see how many hits something had, it was clear that if the Producers had the brains of an average stegosaurus, they'd have shoved the character of Tyr into the fore, and promoted him.
But they didn't.
So Andromeda went off the air.
Those who view the first 2 seasons today will probably be amazed by it.
A Star Trek Universe where everyone doesn't get along. Where one needs an I.Q. beyond Forrest Gumps to follow the plot and get the inferences. Where rivalries and intrique doesn't end with the credits, but goes on, unresolved.
The First two seasons are quite exceptional, and one assumes that somewhere, someday, someone will 'get' it, and it will return to a vast audience.
Of course, with different stars and diverse ideas.
No comments yet.

I'm not sure where the time went, but i don't have very much time to write...so...
SO MUCH happened this week! We had transfers (we went accross the whole island), and then a zone conference (a two hour conference which my companion and i had to teach and set up along with the zone leaders) and took on all the investigators and less actives on the 2 sisters that left. WHEW! But, we did it, and saw SO many miracles! One, was a woman that is going through a really challenging time in her life, but we were able to visit her and see that from the time she has been meeting with the missionaies, her life has done a 360! She has been able to recieve the necesities for her 2 children, and recieve a testimony of the importance of faith in the Lord.
My favorite moment was when we were contacting this week, and we asked the lord to help us find a youth who could be a future missionary. However, we not only found one, but 3 MISSIONARIES! We found a mom and her 3 daughters who want to learn more :) The Lord blesses us as we put our faith in Him.
If we put our faith in Him, he will bless us.
Love you all!
The church is True!

What seemed like a normal day for the family and friends of 16-year-old Keyaira Williams turned into a nightmare as they had to say goodbye too soon.
"Keyaira went off to school like any other 16-year-old child would be doing, and unfortunately she never came home," Keyaira's cousin, Tiffany Scott said.
Dozens of people gathered Friday night at 3131 Wallin Avenue, where the Guilford High School student was shot and killed unexpectedly around noon on Friday.
The family says bringing people together is their way of coping with their loss they also hope it sends a message to stop the violence.
"We also want to be able to give back to our community so that we may be able to help another family," Scott said. "By showing them this visual, by showing them unity, bringing a family together, bringing a community together."
Keyaira's family says she was a fun-loving teen who loved to dance and had a contagious smile.
Police are still looking for information about the suspects in Keyaira's murder.
If you have any information contact Rockford Police or Crime Stoppers.

By Geoff Spiteri, BNY Mellon Investment Management EMEA
An emphasis on automation has the potential to address the country's demographic challenge head-on and solve the problem of a declining labour force, says Miyuki Kashima, BNY Mellon's head of Japanese equity investments.
Picture the scene: In a darkened factory, the non-stop whirr of machines, of robots toiling through the night to make… other robots. No lights, no rest, no breaks, no interruptions – just a relentless, ruthlessly efficient manufacturing cycle.
For Miyuki Kashima, BNY Mellon head of Japanese equity investments, this is no dystopian vision of the future. Instead, it's an accurate portrayal of just one of the ways Japan is addressing its demographic headwinds. As Japanese society ages, she says, it will need to rely ever more on automation and new technology to bridge the productivity gap. That creates a requirement for robots to start taking on the jobs that people used to do – and if that also means robots building other robots in the dark then so be it.
Employment data and labour force projections underline the point. Kashima notes how the jobs-to-applicants ratio has soared while the unemployment rate has plummeted as the economy recovers from its long post-bubble slump. Meanwhile, even if (as is hoped) more women do enter the workforce, the number of people in work will plateau at best in the next decade. Together, the combination of a tight labour market and the structural trend of an ageing population create a real need for an automated future.
Efficiency at its best
Beyond robotics, Kashima highlights another technology-driven trend that has the power to transform the investment landscape: connectivity. Here, she says, the Internet of Things (IoT) finds its natural home in Japan. Partly this is because of a cultural proclivity for both efficiency and hi-tech solutions to problems. The most obvious example, she says, is the world-famous bullet train, which has a cumulative delay of just 0.9 minutes over the course of a year even despite running 342 departures every single day in one of the world's most earthquake- and typhoon-prone countries.]
This kind of efficiency also finds its way into more mundane areas. Kashima notes, for example, that Japanese vending machines are rarely, if ever, broken. "There's no culture of vandalism here and the crime rate for both petty and serious crimes is among the lowest in the world," she says. "That's pretty significant if you're thinking about how the IoT might operate in real life. Given its demographics, Japan offers the perfect marriage of clear demand and a suitable environment."
No surprise, then, that many Japanese companies are looking to capitalise on the global trend towards connectivity and automation. One example in Kashima's BNY Mellon Japan All Cap Equity strategy is Nidec, a manufacturer of the servo motors used to power robots. Although, this segment makes up only a small part of Nidec's current business it is expected to grow, says Kashima, as is the company's currently much larger focus on devices used in automobile electrification. Likewise, in her Japan Small Cap Equity Focus strategy, a key holding is Sanken, a company that designs and manufactures everything from semiconductors to diodes, micro controller units to converters, all of which could find applications in the field of connectivity, particularly in the automobile sector where it already has a clear capability.
Crucially, she says, the corporate sector as a whole is now in a good place to meet demand for new technologies. After decades of underinvestment and falling productivity Japanese companies are once again posting record profits, which means they have the capital to invest. Says Kashima: "The potential is there for the Japanese corporates to overtake their global peers. We haven't really been at the forefront of connectivity – but given how patchy the record has been on first-generation IoT that's not necessarily a bad thing. It could now actually work to our advantage."
Rover returns
Technology aside, Kashima points to another surprising area that she believes could deliver future returns for Japanese investors: pet insurance. While Japan may not be known as the global mecca of pet ownership (just 37% of households own a pet – well below the global average of 56%2) it is an area where the average spend is rising. This may be down to Japan's chronically low birth rate, says Kashima: people are lavishing their affections (and their disposable incomes) on pets instead of children.
More significant, though, is the low penetration of pet insurance in the Japanese market. According to market research firm Fuji Keizai there were some 1.23 million pet insurance contracts effective in Japan as at the end of 2016. That's against an estimated population of 20 million cats and dogs. The Nomura Research Institute estimates the current size of the Japanese pet insurance market at several tens of billions of yen.3 Contrast that with the UK which today has an equivalent market in the region of JPY 146 billion.4 "Clearly," says Kashima, "the scope for growth in this underappreciated segment is phenomenal."
For the Japan Small Cap Equity Focus strategy, Kashima's conviction finds expression in a holding in pet insurer Anicom, one of the portfolio's top exposures. Founded in 2000, the company now has a 60% market share, making it well placed, says Kashima, to benefit from future growth.
She concludes: "For too long investors have fixated on the demographic headwinds facing Japanese society without fully recognising how an ageing population can also create real opportunities. In the coming decades other major global economies will face their own demographic time-bombs and so will need to make the same difficult choices Japan is making now."
This creates some interesting possibilities. "Japan has potential to surprise us all by leapfrogging other nations in the uptake of new technologies. In my view, all the conditions are just right: a labour shortage, demographic headwinds, record company profits. All this in a country where everything can work efficiently once in place – so implementation could be much easier than in our peers."

The 'Teen Mother OG' star is being accused of taking drugs and excessively consuming.
Is Farrah Abraham okay? Rumor has it, the "Teen Mother OG" star has been taking tablets and excessively consuming. Her boyfriend Simon Saran did not deny when he was requested concerning the explosive new declare.
"The consuming of this Teen Mother is uncontrolled," learn a blind merchandise from Loopy Days and Nights, "Mix that with some tablets she was prescribed and her already infamous mood and she or he was a strolling practice wreck."
The report described the "Teen Mom" star as a lady who has "gained about 20 kilos" and "just lately screamed at a fan" who pointed it out, earlier than it was revealed to be Farrah.
Whereas Farrah hasn't responded to a request for remark, her boyfriend tells Radar Online that he's "unsure" if he might touch upon the rumor.
Farrah's "Teen Mother" co-stars together with Amber Portwood, Leah Messer and Jenelle Evans have beforehand admitted to having substance abuse points. Amber opted for a 5-yr stint in jail as an alternative of rehab to beat her habit, Leah accomplished a one-month stint in rehab for stress and melancholy, whereas Jenelle was arrested for possession of heroin in 2013.

Pride in my home
Geraldine Thimble has become the first member of the remote community of Mornington Island in Queensland to gain employment in the Pride in My Home Program with Save the Children, Australia's leading independent emergency relief and development organisation for children.
Geraldine's story was recently featured in the Closing the Gap: Prime Minister's Report 2013.
Working in the position since July 2012, Geraldine is primarily responsible for local implementation of the Pride in My Home Program – an initiative led by the Australian Government Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs.
With the support of Save the Children, Geraldine works to increase the community's awareness and understanding of health and safety issues in the home, economic issues such as household budgeting and meeting tenancy responsibilities, and improving the home environment for families to ensure a safe and happy upbringing for children.
Geraldine was assisted in obtaining her job by Tracey Phillips, an Indigenous employment and training advisor from Job Services Australia provider, Jobfind.
Geraldine said she was really enjoying her work.
"Pride in my home really says it all," Geraldine said.
"I love being able to share my skills and knowledge with others in the community, to help them keep their homes safe and clean for their children.
"Together with youth in the community, we work as a team to clean their yards for the elders. This is the job for me. I wouldn't want to do anything else."

Automatic voter registration takes hold on West Coast
Automatic registration received no Republican votes in Oregon and just one in California. Recent election changes in GOP-dominated states have often gone in the other direction, requiring voters to take more steps to cast ballots such as showing photo identification or showing proof of citizenship at the time of registration.
Republicans say these efforts are intended to prevent voter fraud and secure public confidence in elections

Pride AND Prejudice in Tango
Recent conversation steamed me to the point of my Irish getting up into the stratosphere. It was said to me at a recent tango event, that they could not possibly dance with someone who was gay, and it was beyond their understanding why there should be a gay/lesbian practica. I was floored for about three seconds, and then asked them how on earth would they know if their partner was gay? Well, of course this person would know, they "would not be able to connect."
Uhm, hate to tell you my friend, but you HAVE danced with a partner who plays for the other team, and you did not seem to mind one bit.
I simply said that I had danced with gay men, and gay women, and had simply marvelous connections. So that little statement does not hold water.
There was some persistence on the other person's part on how being gay in tango was an issue, and I just felt the need to stop being polite to this person in this conversation.
Why the hell does anyone think that someone's sexual alignment has anything to do with their ability to connect in the dance? It's absurd. And it pissed me off. Although what actually got my fuse lit was the fact that it was said to me in such an off-handed way, as though there was no doubt in this person's head that of course I would agree with them. And why would anyone want to keep the scope of our tango community limited? It's the same as saying "Oh, blondes should not dance tango, I just can't connect with them because I am sexually attracted to brunettes." It has no bearing whatsoever and just makes you sound like the exit side of a donkey.

Thank You!

There is a certain famous tanguero who is gay. I bet all those prejudiced snobs would be shocked if they know who.

I always think that because of the warm embrace, the connection, that tango people are nice. It is a shock and a dose of cold reality to know that often, alas, they are not.
Eyes wide open, Elizabeth

Sometimes it may be easier to dance with someone you know is not interested in you sexually...then at least you can fully open up without worrying about any "miscommunications".

Well they should check out Buenos Aires if they don't get it - we have gay milongas and practicas down here, which are very popular. Also, as Caroline says, there is a certain famous (very famous) tanguero who happens to be gay. And there are others.
Hey, the worst, most absent tango connection I've ever had was with a straight guy, while I've danced with gay men who have brought me to heaven. Why should it matter, seriously.

Ugh. Not only is it wildly bigoted, ignorant, and disgusting, it's also drastically reductive. Since when is tango only about sexual interest?

Review Process
The Office of the General Counsel (OGC) is the only office that has the authority to approve the legal terms of any University contract. Among the contracts regularly entered into by the University are: Affiliation Agreements, Contractual Services Agreements, Contractual Services Agreements for Artists, Research Agreements, Collaboration Agreements with other universities and educational entities, Software License Agreements, Material Transfer Agreements, Lease Agreements, Hotel/Conference Room Rental Agreements, Exchange Agreements and Consulting Agreements.
Only individuals designated by the President in writing via a Delegation of Signature Authority are authorized to sign contracts on behalf of the University. Some contracts, such as international exchange agreements, must be reviewed and approved by other offices such as Academic Planning & Accountability in addition to the college or school participating in the exchange.
Contract documents should be legible and must be read by the individual who submits them to ensure that their content comports with the agreed upon business terms.
Electronic versions of the documents as well as copies of prior contracts with the same vendor will serve to expedite the review and negotiation process and should be submitted whenever possible.
Once the University attorney has reviewed and made any necessary changes, the agreement is sent to the appropriate party for signature. Once signed by an authorized University official, the contract is returned to the unit requesting the contract review.
Please see Contract Forms for templates of University contracts.
