In this, the second post for today, we will look at the origin story of the Hopi tribe.
It will bring into play some landscape features many more will recognize than the Superstition Mountains. Here is an excerpt from the manuscript the story was obtained from. It has a bit of a story in it itself.
'Hapitu or Hopi meaning the "peaceful ones" were the only Shoshones to adopt a Pueblo culture
located on the Three Mesas in Northeastern Arizona.
Their first European contact was the Spanish explorer Coronado in 1540. In 1598, the government of New Mexico territory made them swear allegiance to the king of Spain. In 1529, a Franciscan Mission was established at several Hopi settlements however, they were destroyed in 1680 at the general Pueblo uprising. The present Hopin reservation became a reality by presidential order on December 16, 1882.
The performance of their spectacular Snake Dance attracts a huge public
and they remain one of the largest and best known of the North American tribes. '
With that, we will delve deep into the world and see where our friends the Hopi came from.

Taylor Swift Wants You to Focus on Her Music, Not Her Boobs
Yeah, sex sells, but candy and sparkles musical phenom Taylor Swift isn't interested in showing off the goods because you should really pay attention to her music. Which is about her ex-boyfriends. Who've probably seen the goods.
See, it all comes full-circle.
"Most people are only going to focus on one or two things about you," she told The Sun. "I want that to be that I write my own songs, not that I have great abs."
But then she muddied the water by saying, "I don't really take my clothes off because I don't think I can pull it off." Which sounds an awful lot like "if I had the body of a Victoria's Secret model, I'd be naked all the time and screw the music."
And speaking of the music, one reason she may take such delight in calling out the men who've broken her heart is that when she was younger, "no one ever invited me to their parties." So she's kind of the poster child for making a lot of bank on sweet, sweet revenge.
But Swift has plenty of friends these days, specifically rich celebrity friends like Selena Gomez and Emma Stone, with whom she spends time a lot of time talking about boys. (They also might braid each other's hair or have pillow fights. We're speculating.)
Perhaps the most famous name in Swift's address book is Gwyneth Paltrow, but Taylor is so cowed by it that she won't even keep her phone on her when she drinks, lest she drunk-dial the Princess of Pretension.
Probably a smart move. Swift might have a phony British accent by the time she hangs up.

Mercedes B Class by Brabus
By Arman Barari on Feb 07, 2012 with Comments 0
The German tuner of Mercedes cars Brabus announced a new package for the latest B-lass hatchback.
It starts with a body kit. The BRABUS front spoiler attaches to the lower part of the production bumper and thanks to its sophisticated shape reduces lift on the front axle. In order to provide the perfect backdrop for the BRABUS quad sport exhaust system, the BRABUS designers have developed an insert for the rear fascia that features two custom-tailored cutouts.
Inside the cabin driver and passengers are welcomed by bi-color stainless-steel scuff plates with BRABUS logo. Aluminum door lock pins and pedal pads add sporty highlights. BRABUS ECO PowerXtra performance kits for the direct-injection gasoline and diesel engines are in the final stages of development. The tuner cannot provide any figures yet.
Wheels and tires:
BRABUS alloy wheels specially developed for the new B-Class make a significant contribution to the exclusive BRABUS look and to further optimized driving dynamics. Five different designs are available: In the largest version with a diameter of 19 inches the Monoblock E, F, Q and S wheels have been homologated in size 8.5Jx19. In the attached photos the new compact Mercedes is pictured on one side with BRABUS Monoblock F cross-spoke wheels with 'Liquid Titanium' finish and on the other side with Monoblock Q wheels featuring five double spokes, whose sophisticated shapes form five ventilation openings. The optimal tires for these wheels in size 225/35 R 19 in front and 255/30 R 19 on the rear axle are supplied by BRABUS technology partners Continental, Pirelli or YOKOHAMA.

Early morning peeping half open eyes, rubbing the night vapor of the window pane with my palms, creating wide path like lines on the moist glass; that wide, gleeful expression would overtake watching snowflakes, like fairies dancing in their fall and spreading out on the ground. In the far distance strange images of masked aliens, fighting heroes, fleeing damsels would be created in running patterns of this snow fall, which seemed to have invaded and overtaken from the end of that infinite horizon till my very window still. Arching branches overburdened by laden snow, dropping over each other were bending in humility, like prostrating for a prayer with a burden of a lifetime on their backs.
By the far right corner of the garden, a pomegranate tree, bound by father in autumn strings to save it from winter burdens, rose into a white snowy dome perching far above its size, like extending to call the sleeping for an early morning assembly. But in freeze dead garden there were no souls heeding its call. Most of those who lived in this garden had fled the autumn fall, leaving behind withering crisp leaves that would give themselves to earth. The remaining, who had not fled, were hibernating in winter fright, barricaded in the same autumn strings, that held portions of venous branches in skin peeling tight packs. It was tough to figure out what hurt most; the skin peeling strings that attempted to save them from winter blizzards or the inevitable frost that was sweeping across the garden.
Packed cosmonaut'esque in cold ready, frost defying gear, mother would ensure that no part of us was left to the mercy of winter. Neck closing pherans cloaking overweighing woolens that often made our figures look far larger than our tiny bodies, warm caps that ran over our red blowing ears only exposing the earlobes those hung as corner receivers to be centered by redder pointing noses, which often dripped as moist at the windowpane vapor.
In spite of instructions that we were not to venture out from our carefully warmed rooms, we would seek the first opportunity to dash out, unheeding the shouts that followed.
Tiny footsteps would race over white spreads of snow, creating fleeting patterns in chasing voices of mother, who would be worried of the winter demons running faster than we could and catching up on us. I stopped by the evergreens that bordered our garden and shook them to rid them off their white robes, to bring out patches of green, drooping, wet and bathed leaves in this endless white. Behind us, the edges of our wide and tall green gate were laced in white linings, like some straight sketches over a huge canvas. My brother and I tried footprint sketching on snow, creating random images on crisp white sheets; some circles here those were punctured with two dots resembling eyes, drawing lines on uneven sides to make arms, pathetic attempts at drawings that were soon overwritten by celestial erasers in falling white, that overrode all our attempts. Covered on my shoulders and head by moist snow that created white patches I shrugged off and jumped to drop fall on the ground, wanting to have the snow fall directly on my face. In extended arms my open face tried to look up towards a silent heaving sky, feeling like a child who looked up his mother, extending, opening and holding to feed her kid from the bosom. I closed my eyes to feel an astounding silence all over, there was no chirp, no voice in the garden where everything, every word had fled to this winter moment. Every window that over looked this garden had been securely latched to deny the winter birds any hope of a morsel; these birds sometimes came calling, bearing heavy armory of fatigue, but left disheartened when their calls went unheeded. These birds from across the borders.
Finding myself lonely in the middle of a cold damp desolation, I opened my eyes again, only to find that my brother was stealthily walking up to our wide and tall green gate, wanting to open the narrow door within it, without any noise. But the narrow door creaked, like the moan of an unclothed man being dragged in winter against his will. And I ran up to my brother.
On watching me approach he stopped, withdrawing his hands from the narrow door knob. I, attempting bravery over my younger sibling, ended my hands over the knob and slowly fought my fears over the creaking sighs of the narrow door. Outside, the wide road running parallel to our gate, on our right, was all white till the eye could see. There were no tracks, no footprints, no markers on this wintry seemingly unending white road, but for the almost invisible bend far ahead that turned slightly left as it merged into a four way, often leaving the traveler in a destination dilemma.
Our keenness to try a few more footprint patterns outside the gate and a pitch silence was broken by a loud thud ; accumulated snow banks over heaved roofs were slipping with all their force on the ground, close to where these extended roofs would mark their aim. We froze, as if those winter demons had finally outpaced and caught with with us. Then realizing that these were rooftops shrugging off some white burden from their shoulders, my brother grabbed a snowball and flung it across, aiming towards these roof edges, as if in revenge for breaking this silence. Soon I had joined him in the 'free snow ball aim contest', aiming across the road. Between the long pauses of the few snow thuds and our frequent gleeful shrieks, a white armed jeep suddenly broke the lull of this road, drawing ugly traces over virgin whites, while some of our snow balls hit its windowpane. Screeching of brakes, our benumbed freeze and that scary dash we made, realizing that some people had disembarked in our pursuit. We heard some cries, loud shouts; could not comprehend in fear what they were. As we ran back inside and pushed shut the narrow gate, a commotion grew behind it; the gate shook violently, some kicks were forcing on the gate, and soon it gave up. By the time we were inside and mother scurried outside, huge boots of armed men were running crazy inside a stunned garden, trampling all the patterns that tiny feet had created earlier. The decent white of our path had been invaded by a dirty, grayish slush that was punctured at odd places by huge jackboot prints; very obnoxious and threatening. The dome by the pomegranate tree had collapsed in fright. The window pane, on which by the morning I had created wide path lines with my palms on overnight vapor glass, had been smashed with rifle butts. And with it had been smashed our winter dreams.
Those of our garden who had left the winter to its ordeal never knew of the glass splinters and the hurt they caused; those who hibernated to seclusions of fright never knew the freedom of fresh snow, even if this freedom was momentary.

IBM has solved an issue with the Open Document Format (ODF) not being properly rendered in special software for visually impaired people.
iAccessible2 is a series of APIs that makes it easy for visuals in applications based on ODF and other Web technologies to be interpreted by screen readers that reproduce that information verbally.
The fact that ODF did not work properly with screen readers was a main concern in the acceptance of the open standard earlier this year by the Massachusetts' government, and has caused a delay in its acceptance.
IBM spokesman Ari Fishkind said that in the past it has been hard for screen-reading technology to keep up with the advent of cutting-edge development and file formats such as ODF, AJAX and DHTML. The latter two technologies allow increasingly complex visuals to be rendered in Web browsers, and those are difficult to translate for screen readers, he said.
iAccessible2 helps ODF communicate better with screen readers and also allow charts, pictures and other visuals based on AJAX and DHTML to be discerned by the visually impaired. "It's like a universal decoder ring," he said of iAccessible2. The technology is based on interfaces IBM originally developed with Sun Microsystems to make programs on Java and Linux platforms accessible to the blind.
IBM has donated its work to the Free Standards Group, a non-profit group that promotes open-source software. That organisation will work on the technology and maintain it as an open standard so anyone can use it, IBM said. Other companies working on the development of iAccessible2 include Sun, Oracle and SAP. Mozilla also intends to integrate iAccessible2 into Firefox.
ODF has been approved as an international standard by the International Organisation for Standardization (ISO), and is currently in competition with Microsoft's Open XML format to become the default file format for documents. Open XML is the basis of Microsoft's proprietary Office 2007 productivity suite and was recently approved by Ecma International as a standard. It has now been put forward to the ISO.
Companies such as IBM, Sun and others are promoting the use of ODF against Microsoft's technology, while others will support both ODF and Open XML just to be on the safe side, in case both are widely adopted.
The rivalry between ODF and Open XML heated up last year when Massachusetts put forth a proposal to change its default file format to ODF for all of its state agencies, which would mean they would have to stop using Microsoft Office. This eventually led Microsoft to submit Open XML as a standard as ODF was already going through that process. Increasingly, government agencies are moving their IT platforms to technologies that are considered standard throughout the industry, forgoing some technologies that are seen as proprietary.

The Far East Movement did not waste any time producing another hit after "Like A G6". Above is the official music video of their newest track called "Rocketeer". It is a bit softer then what we are used to seeing out of them. However, I love how they show uniqueness in changing up their style and I love this video as I too grew up in the heart of L.A. and recognize and love many of the areas they show.

1. Catba Langurs' Special Trait
Drinking salt water is a unique typical trait in Catba Langurs which differentiates them from other langur species. As their only natural inhabitat area now is Catba island, it seems that these langurs have adapted to their surrounding environment and seek for some salt water just like the fishermen like their food salty.
The feature picture was beautifully and timely taken by Cat Ba Langur Conservation Project – the only on-site project on Catba island now which specializes in Catba langurs. They established a protected langur sanctuary inside Cat Ba National Park in 2002, and work closely with the rangers to guarantee the safety of these Vietnam endemic primates which are also one of the rarest primates on Earth.
2. Song of Catba Langur
You may have listened to the song of gibbons through our short documentary film, but probably not yet the song of langurs. This rare footage of Catba langurs' call in the wild from Cat Ba Langur Conservation Project will let you know about the voice of langurs. It is absolutely different from gibbons' one, yet, still interesting and eye-opening to primates lovers.
Langurs are normally quieter than gibbons. They only vocalise like this to announce their territory or when they feel threatened.
Get to know more about the critically endangered Catba Langurs here: http://bit.ly/Catba_Langur_EPRC
and http://www.eprc.asia/our-animals/langurs/cat-ba-langur/
There are still so many things we can learn and need to learn from this Critically Endangered langur species: Catba Langur – whose total population is just 60 individuals in ALL OVER THE PLANET. Therefore, help local projects like EPRC and Cat Ba Langur Conservation Project so these beautiful animals can one day climb out of their "Critically Endangered" status!

P2Binvestor ("P2Bi") is an online marketplace lender that provides asset-based lines of credit of $1 million or more. Typically, its borrowers are rapidly growing consumer products and professional services companies that can't yet access bank credit. Through the application of technology, P2Bi has democratized access to this kind of debt financing by making it available to companies having annual revenues as low as $1 million. I spoke with Krista Morgan, co-founder and CEO, about what makes P2Bi different.
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (17.6MB)
Growth Capital for Not-yet Bankable Companies
Initially, Krista thought P2Bi would be providing $50,000 to $100,000 loans to small businesses. However, she and her colleagues discovered a better fit with companies in the $1 million to $10 million revenue range.
A classic case is a small, growing, but as yet unprofitable, specialty food company. It might be completing a successful, regional trial with a national retail customer such as Whole Foods. A successful trial can often lead to a national roll-out. However, to fulfill the inventory requirements of a national program requires financing. Bank debt is not in the cards for an unprofitable business. Even if an SBA-backed loan is feasible, it usually takes months to put into place.
That's where P2Binvestor fits in. They can underwrite a revolving line of $1 million or more backed by the receivables from creditworthy customers like Whole Foods. Underwriting is a matter of a few days or weeks, depending on the borrower's preparedness.
As the borrower grows and becomes profitable, it will transition to lower-cost bank financing. Krista says that a typical borrower is with P2Bi for up to three years, during which time its line of credit might grow tenfold.
Asset-based Lenders View the World Differently
Most lenders look to the free cash flow generated by the borrower in the normal course of business to service debt. Such "cash flow lenders" view collateral as a secondary source of repayment. Consequently, cash flow lenders are keenly interested in the debt capacity and character of the borrower.
Asset-based lenders view the world a little differently. Sure, the creditworthiness of the borrower matters. However, true asset-based lenders are at least as sensitive to the collectibility of the borrower's accounts receivable. To the extent the borrower sells to large, creditworthy customers such as national retail chains, an asset-based lender might be willing to overlook some uncertainty about the borrower's future cash flow. In other words, collectible receivables and readily liquidated inventory can overcome uncertainties regarding a borrower's free cash flow in the eyes of an asset-based lender.
Asset-based Loans Are Not New
Asset-based loans have been around a long time. Early in my career, I worked in the "leveraged capital" group of a very large, global bank. We made competitively priced loans of $50 million or more to established companies having revenues of at least $100 million.
In many cases, my bank would lead a "syndicate." That is, my employer would originate, negotiate, and manage the credit. Other banks would "buy" pieces of the loan. Syndication is a way to manage loan portfolio diversification, boost profits, and develop differentiating expertise through the origination of more loans than would otherwise be possible.
Quite frequently, our group would make asset-based loans that couldn't be underwritten per the standards of the "normal" bank. Usually, this was due to the leverage of the borrower. Oftentimes, the borrower's high debt level was the result of a leveraged acquisition or buyout ("LBO").
Such asset-based loans required the services of an entire floor of receivables and inventory specialists as well as a dedicated team of auditors. That kind of loan overhead wasn't cheap. Because we charged competitive rates of interest, we had to make big loans to fairly large borrowers in order to make a profit.
Of course, asset-based loans were, and are, available in smaller amounts to smaller borrowers. Historically, though, availability of such loans came at a steep price.
Technology Changes the Asset-based Lending Game
What's new is P2Bi's ability to leverage internet technologies to reduce the historically high cost of administering asset-based loans.
The fact that P2Binvestor offers asset-based loans to companies as small as $1 million is unusual but unremarkable. What's new is P2Bi's ability to leverage internet technologies to reduce the historically high cost of administering asset-based loans. That enables P2Binvestor to offer small-ish asset-based loans at reasonable interest rates.
Furthermore, internet technologies allow P2Binvestor to syndicate loans in the form of crowdfunding to individual (accredited) investors. Syndication (presumably) boosts P2Bi's profit, increases its loan origination capacity, and accelerates the accumulation of underwriting expertise at the small end of the credit market.
Large companies have always had access to the tools of corporate finance. New technologies in the hands of lenders such as P2Binvestor have made such tools accessible to small businesses.
Entrepreneur as Lender
Krista isn't a banker or any kind of typical finance-type (although she does have a degree in economics). Rather, she's an entrepreneur. As entrepreneurs are wont to do, she co-founded P2Bi because she perceived a need and saw a way to bring a new perspective to an old market.
As an entrepreneur, Krista finds joy in helping other entrepreneurs. Most of P2Bi's borrowers refinance with bank debt within three years, Krista celebrates that transition as a victory.
Her enthusiasm for supporting other entrepreneurs doesn't end with P2Bi. She's also the co-host of Women Who Startup Radio, a "community to celebrate, connect and empower Women Who Startup, Women Founders, Women Who Code, Women Who Tech, and Women Entrepreneurs in Denver and beyond."

A street food vendor in Singapore earned a Michelin star
The Michelin star has been the highest restaurant standard since the 1900's.
Typically, Michelin restaurants feature the most luxurious and exquisite dining experiences around the world.
One star represents a good restaurant, worth stopping at if it's along your path. Two stars means the restaurant is fantastic and three stars means the restaurant is worth traveling out of your way for.
Now in Singapore, Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice and Noodle, a food stall has been awarded a star.
Chef Chan Hon Meng works 17 hour days to serve his endless line of customers. Here you can buy a plate of his award-winning food for just $2 — that's almost equivalent to your morning cup of joe.
In comparison, Sukiyabashi Jiro — featured in the documentary 'Jiro Dreams of Sushi' — was awarded three stars in 2008. There a 20-course sushi dinner is over $300.
The guide was created by the Michelin brothers a decade after starting their tire business.
They believed that a rating guide for hotels and restaurants would urge drivers to travel and buy their tires more often.
With the success of Meng's stall, it is possible that inexpensive restaurants could now become great culinary destinations, thanks to the Michelin rating.

Germany midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger has hinted at a move away from Bayern Munich by stating he is not "married" to the Bundesliga champions.
Schweinsteiger, one of the stand-out performers at the 2010 World Cup, has a contract at the Allianz Arena until 2012 which he insists he is happy to honour but the 25-year-old also concedes a move abroad would excite him.
"I have a contract with FC Bayern until 2012 and I really respect the club and the contract," he told Bild. "But I cannot say that I am married to FC Bayern. That would not be fair to the fans."
Schweinsteiger added: "I know that there is something great at FC Bayern. We didn't reach the Champions League final without good reason - and to win it is my ambition.
"The Bundesliga is great, and has become more important, but if I were to move on then, of course, the idea of going abroad is what excites me."

Sometimes a person will think that I need to show others that I have changed but deep inside he/she never did. It was a problem sometimes of others being forced to do something or being obligated to be one then being teased or being left behind of what he/she think would suit him. Though in the accord of a persons life sometimes there was a point wherein we never thought that we are actually sick and even our family cannot even see anything bad about you. Being sick does not mean only physical but also emotional or mental. There are great stars whom we never knew where they'd come from and what's their story then after a few moments they die. If only Karen Carpenter knew that she could have the strength to tell her family and be helped like his brother the story might not have ended like it did in 1980's. Digging deeper in a persons life means trying to accept the common thing local persons call TYPICAL. It's like something that a normal person would never thought to be a cause of death of someone. There is some point in some people's lives that he/she might have experienced something that we never know would have a great impact to a persons identity or on a persons self esteem. Yes we may never thought about it because there are really some kinds of people who tries to hide something and then they try to change themselves not for other people but for them. And in order to do that they try to get rid of the hindrance that's stopping them to what they are suppose to do and what they are suppose to have. Emotions of a person is the best medicine and the best poison as well.
Depression is a kind of mental illness that implements a very high and unsustainable amount of emotion. A lot of people die just because they try to hide it from everybody. They try to look good they try to be something and if they're alone that's the time they get back to that pitch black world where they fall and no one can save them but themselves alone.
Taking prescription drugs are sometimes good if it was prescribed by your doctor and only take the right dosage at the right hour. But then if we try to look at it other people who have some mental illness or having some emotional imbalance will have the highest chance of making it an addiction that would actually push them to the limit of life and come to death.
A simple thought, always have a trusted friend and tell him about how you feel or what was your life. That person may not have anything to say for the moment but for you as person who is telling the story, you will have the chance to breath out your depression and maybe you could also find someone who could understand you and love you.

Speaking at the CPDP conference in Brussels today, Axel Voss, MEP and member of the European Parliament's LIBE committee said that there is an urgent need for more interpretations on the GDPR. He said that the DPAs should clarify concepts very quickly so that the Regulation will come to life. "We also need to think about protecting privacy, not just data protection. Is this possible as a legal definition?" He said that the EU Commission has not fully achieved its goal of harmonisation but also businesses are under a lot of pressure. We should aim for a more balanced position in the implementation period, he said "We need to protect fundamental rights but if only looking at that, it will not be a balanced situation."
"The EU comes up with good intentions but sometimes ends up in overprotecting people, and over regulating - Do we really need an additional e privacy regulation as similar aspects are already in the GDPR?"
Michel Boni, MEP, also said that we need a balance between fundamental rights and business interests. In some member states there are many problems with GDPR implementation, he said. Not all stakeholders are involved and there is not always clarity over who is responsible for the package.
Stewart Dresner is moderating today a session on 'Populist politics and the prospects for privacy'.

Ah Tuesday, the new Monday. And if you're having those Monday blues, here's something just delightfully evil enough that will have you snarking your way throughout the day.
At a charity football challenge raising money for Irish Autism Auction, One Direction bad boy Harry Styles ran over to newsman Piers Morgan and pulled his shorts down! [Snooty British voice] How preposterous and improper!
The sneak.
But don't worry. Morgan, whose team won against Styles' and bandmate Niall Horan's team, has something of his own planned in response. Probably when we least expect it.
At least they're not trying to trend "Piers Morgan is smelly" again. Although, that too would be hilarious.
The fake beef between Piers Morgan and 1D is probably one of my favorite things.

GENEVA MOTOR SHOW: Bentley Mulsanne Grand Limousine revealedby Garage Mike March 1, 2016
Big Benter not big enough? The new Bentley Mulsanne Grand Limousine by Mulliner boasts a stretched name to match its one-metre-longer sedan body.
Now stretching 6.5 metres, the Mulsanne Grand Limousine boasts six seats with a rear compartment positioned with a duo of both forward- and rearward-facing seats "of equal comfort".
"Inside the ultra-luxurious, customer-commissioned passenger cabin is an experience evocative of the very best in luxury private-aviation design," the brand adds.
Passengers may note even before takeoff they are "accommodated beneath a uniquely crafted wood-veneered roof bow" that sits 79mm higher than a regular Mulsanne.
There is also a new electro chromatic glass feature that can change the rear window and cabin divider glass from clear to opaque at the touch of a button and an intercom facility between the driver and passengers.
That's in addition to exclusive climate control zones, rear dials separately showing UK and local time, fold-out tables, iPad charging and docking facilities, bottle cooler with glass and crystal flutes and a "soft drink" cabinet with bespoke tumblers.
Mulliner is Bentley's in-house coachbuilder of bespoke products for a special section of customers who clearly exist, because the Mulsanne Grand Limousine will be produced.
Finished in Moroccan Blue paint with Silver Frost accents, it wears 21-inch alloy wheels and promises re-engineered chassis and suspension, engine and gearbox, "guaranteeing the highest possible degree of passenger comfort and safety in the longest ultra-luxury sedan in the world."
We reckon buyers of the gunshot-proof Mercedes-Benz S600 Pullman Guard may have something to say about that. Of course the only way to resolve the claim is with a comparison test. We're happy to oblige.

I love the Trout Lake Country Inn and its current operators. It looks as historic as it is, which means I can relax, like I do when I change out of my work clothes into something comfy.
|Summers out Back
Trout Lake is remote and gloriously beautiful. Summers, one can sit out back with a full-on view of Sleeping Beauty Peak or out front with a view of Mt. Adams. Trout Lake Creek gurgles nearby. The location is heavenly.
The everyday menu is very good. When I'm in a cheap and healthy mood, I have the pesto chicken sandwich, which is flavorful, juicy, and cooked to perfection every time. A bargain for under $10.
But the specials. . . . Man! Who would think we'd find this level of culinary expertise way out here. It's not by accident. They drive to Portland for fresh seafood and the chef maintains the high standards he developed in top restaurants. His repertoire includes Thai flavors. Tonight's jumbo shrimp over Thai noodles, together with draft beers, really hit the spot. (Oh yeah, they typically have a few really good beers on tap.)
When you arrive, make sure you check in and ask how busy they are. Like the best restaurants in Portland, sometimes there can be a wait during peak times.

Add the strands of lemon zest to the bagna cauda and stir to combine.
From each branch, remove most of the rosemary leaves, leaving 1 1/2 to 2 inches of 1 end covered in leaves. Place a bread slice on the work surface, and put a piece of mozzarella on it, followed by a fresh bay leaf, optional. Repeat 1 more time, ending with a slice of bread. You should have a stack that has 3 slices of bread and 2 slices of cheese. Continue with the remaining ingredients, to make 4 stacks total. (If you can't find large rosemary branches, substitute wooden skewers. Soak the wooden skewers in cold water for 20 minutes. As you're assembling, put a few sprigs of fresh rosemary throughout.)
Using the leafless end of a rosemary sprig, skewer 1 of the stacks through the center, leaving the rosemary leaves exposed on the other end. Turn the stack on its side and, entering from the opposite end, insert another rosemary sprig, leaving the leaves sticking out of the other end. Brush the entire skewer lightly with olive oil, and sprinkle it with a pinch of salt and pepper. Continue in the same manner with the remaining stacks.
To grill: Place the skewers on the hottest part of a charcoal or gas grill and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, turning frequently, until the cheese just begins to soften and the bread begins to brown.
To bake: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the skewers on a baking sheet and cook about 5 minutes.
Carefully transfer the skewers to a plate and drizzle with a generous amount of the bagna cauda. Scatter with parsley leaves.
Using a mortar and pestle, pulverize the garlic and anchovies into a smooth paste.
Transfer the paste to a small saucepan. Add the butter and olive oil and bring to a simmer over low heat. Continue simmering for about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice. Season with salt, to taste.

"Let us not become weary in doing good,…"(Galatians 6:9)
I don't know how we did it, but we did it. Two-hundred Christmas dinners, full of turkey, dressing, casseroles and desserts served in forty-five minutes. That included a talent show put on by some of our guests, complete with dance moves and all! It was a celebration of the birth of our Lord and Savior. Jesus truly is the reason for the season.
We now move into a brand new year. Full of opportunities to share the love of God, both in the word and deed. In all the areas of ministry of Loaves and Fishes Soup Kitchen, the Soup Kitchen, the Emergency Family Shelter, our Transitional Housing Program for families with children, the after-school program, our Thrift Store, and our ministry to elderly homeless men (Simeon House), we trust the Lord to provide, as He has for the past thirty some odd years. Millions of meals served, tens of thousands have heard the Good News of God's love, and thousands have been clothed and sheltered.
Thank you for all of your help in making this happen. We pray you will continue to be a part of God's work as we reach out to the "least of these". Please know you are in our prayers and we thank you for praying for us. May you have a blessed new year.
Peace in Yeshua,

Happy Monday & Happy May! Today I am sharing a non-photo layout I created for myself last month, to motivate me to push through the madness that the next 6-8 weeks become with our daily lives. Spring is our busiest time of the year, between my work and the boys sports schedules. As they get older the business just gets crazier. Some years i don't know how we survive...but we do!

Jeff Mills, Kassem Mosse, Delroy Edwards, and More to Play New Forms 2013
Entering into its 13th year, the Vancouver-based New Forms Festival has become a mainstay in promoting a variety of electronic artists while keeping the intimate qualities of a DIY venue an integral part of its festival environment, a fact we discussed after attending last year. As such, we're excited to learn that the initial line-up for New Forms' 2013 incarnation has been announced. Featuring Detroit techno legend Jeff Mills (pictured above), German DJ/producer Kassem Mosse, Young Echo fixture Kahn, breakout L.I.E.S. affiliate Delroy Edwards, San Francisco-based futurist EPROM, and many more, this year's festival will place between September 12 and 15, wrapping up the summer in proper fashion. The initial batch of artists performing at New Forms is available to peruse below—more will be announced in the weeks and months ahead—and early bird tickets, volunteering opportunities, and more information about this year's festivities are available here.

The Sydney Opera House has appointed Trippas White Group to supply food and beverage services to a number of venues within the building from mid-June 2018, following its successful tender application.
The contract includes the Theatre Bars and functions in the Northern Foyers and Southern Foyers of the Concert Hall and Joan Sutherland Theatre, The Lounge (located in the Entry Foyer), the Utzon Room and the Function Centre.
Trippas White Group has engaged chef, restaurateur and media personality Karen Martini as Ambassador Chef for the House venues, bringing new vision to the Opera House's dining offerings in good company alongside Bennelong's Peter Gilmore and Opera Bar's Matt Moran. Martini will create new menus that draw upon her French Italian heritage and her love for Australian produce.
Louise Herron, Sydney Opera House CEO, says,"As we renew the Opera House for future generations, we're constantly looking for ways to provide our audiences and visitors with services that live up to the excellence of the building and the art on its stages. The expiry of contracts for these venues, combined with the anticipated completion of the new function centre later this year, provided an ideal opportunity to go out to market.
"Trippas White Group presented an impressive proposal for these House venues, with an innovative approach that responded to the wide range of Opera House events, audiences and visitors. We were impressed by their creativity and commitment to ensuring excellence and variety. They will make a strong contribution to the Opera House's diverse portfolio of public restaurants and bars, which also includes Bennelong, Opera Bar, Opera Kitchen and Portside."
Joseph Murray, Trippas White Group managing director, says, "It is a great honour and privilege to once again partner with the Sydney Opera House on this extraordinary journey of renewal. The House tender presented a unique opportunity for our group to further expand our operational reach across the Opera House, perfectly complementing our Portside and Western Foyers operations. We now look forward with great pride and commitment as we bring the Opera House a timely 'generational shift' specifically designed to inject intelligent service models, stylish, practical designs and a food and beverage offering that will truly enrich the visitor experience."
Trippas White Group will commence trading the Theatre Bars, The Lounge and the Utzon Room in mid-June 2018, with the Function Centre expected to open by early 2019.

New Gift: Cosmo the cat!
For all you cat lovers out there I am offering two original 4x5 images of my cat Cosmo. There is one color and one black and white and both come with the special edition book and print.
About the project:
Parallelograms is a nude portrait project that aims to bridge the gap between photography and painting; creating a one-of-a-kind image that evokes a sense of beauty, vulnerability and mystery of the nude body.
Why Multiple Exposures?
They allow your eye to wander and get lost in the intersecting shapes of the body. The multiple exposures also adds to the unique quality to the final image. The two images combine giving the photo a gestalt that is impossible to reproduce.
Why Its Urgent?
Up until now, all of my images were shot on the discontinued 4x5 Fuji FB45 instant film. The next step is to shoot a portfolio of images on the rarest of all films - the massive 20x24 Polaroid. With Polaroid out of business, the film hasn't been produced in years and the stock of film is quickly disappearing, making using the camera a very expensive undertaking.
Why on Polaroid?
The size and detail of the 20x24 Polaroid is unmatched and it is the only format to truly give justice to these images.
How the money will be spent:
All the money raised will go to production costs of camera rental, models, and the costs of film. With only two cameras in New York, and a limited film stock, it costs roughly $500 to make one final image.
The majority of the money will go to the cost of film and rental of the camera.
Each image costs about $400 – 500 to produce. That's per picture taken, including all the outtakes that don't make it to the final set.
So if I want to shoot 10 – 15 images, I have to plan for 15 – 20 actual images shot.
Unlike with a digital camera I cant just shoot a bunch of frames, I have to make each exposure count.
It cost $125 per an image to get them scanned as well.
How the $10,000 breaks down:
Kickstarter takes about $800.
The gifts will cost about $2500. That includes printing books, cutting matts, making the posters and prints.
That leaves me with about $6,700.00 to work with.
For 10 images it will cost $4,000 to $5,000 in film and camera costs.
And $ 1,000.00 in digitizing fees.
$500.00 for assistant fees, and I will pay all the model fees myself.
The more money I can make the more images I am able to make, and more models I can work with.
Time frame:
Once I receive the funds, I will immediately go into preproduction, which will include casting, planning all the poses, and test shoots. This will take about two weeks.
Then I will do 2-3 shoots during a month-long period.
After I have all the images, I will have to send them off to get digitized, which will take another few weeks.
Once I have all the digital images, I will start sending out prints and putting together the books printed by Hemlock Printers. The design and printing of the books is what will take the longest and could be as long two months to complete.
As each element is done I will send out everyone's gifts. And I'll be blogging the entire way so it should be a fun ride.

Risks and challenges
With the scale of such a project my time frame may shift. I have given myself enough room to do everything, but if I surpass my goal, then I will be able to book more shoot dates, which will in fact push the prize dates (but the prizes will be even better!). I will have complete transparency and will communicate regularly via email and blog.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

Having decided to just post twice a week, my plan is to do a three card Body-Mind-Spirit reading on Mondays, for the week ahead. This week, my deck of choice is the Lunatic Tarot, by Evan Yi Feng (published in China 2005, possibly available through the Tarot Garden).
Body: On a physical level, the Fool says there is a world of opportunity open to us, and that wolf advises us to listen to our instincts. Mind: The Ace of Pentacles suggests there may be financial opportunities that we should think about, and reminds us to consider new choices in terms of food and exercise. Spirit: The Eight of Swords implies being spiritually limited by our own thoughts, tieing ourselves up in knots with our ideas of what we should and shouldn't do, or just with self-limiting beliefs.
To me, this reading speaks of considering new possibilities related to the body, and how my self-limiting beliefs might stop me from trying something. It recommends being open to new ideas, and recognising where I am stuck in my thinking. I'm expecting a new exercise DVD to arrive today, so that's certainly something to try out this week. And perhaps I need to think about branching out - doing something new in terms of exercise. I've been feeling a bit stale, a bit blah, about both Step DVD's and working out on the static bike, and I definitely don't want any Tabata-style workouts - far too high impact for my chronic shinsplints to cope with. So, time to hop over to Collage Video and see if anything new and different jumps out at me.
As for the Eight of Swords for my spirit, that could just be me dismissing new types of exercise because of my preconceived notions. However, I wonder if it goes deeper than that. I haven't been doing much lately on the spiritual side of my life, besides the occasional hypnobirthing meditation. That's largely been because of limited time, but then, that just says that I don't give spirit as high a priority as I might. Maybe I need to change that this week...
I am grateful for the reminder that being physically fit is important, but so is spiritual freedom.

I hope you will find something to your liking but I can not help my self to say: the couch is a wonderful place to catch up with your spirituality and please don't strain yourself to much physically. (not meddling, just caring :))ReplyDeleteReplies
Ha ha, I love your "the couch is a wonderful place to catch up with your spirituality", Ellen :) Funny, I didn't even think that a new start physically might involve doing less, rather than something different. That is definitely my "exercise-junkie" blinkers at work!Delete
Thinking about how to influence the physical world, my mother is coming over this afternoon to try to encourage the baby to turn around, as he's currently breach - that might count, too :)

I am new to this forum so not sure if this is the right place to post this so please delete if not appropriate. I am not looking for medical advice but just thought it would be good to get some feedback from people who have already been diagnosed to see if you had any similar symptoms prior to diagnosis.
This has been a long journey for me and I think I may have sleep apnea and I am currently waiting to do the hope2sleep test. I am also terrified that it is not.......
I have been struggling since a teenager really and my main symptoms are extreme fatigue, lack of concentration and memory problems which has been steadily getting worse over the last few years.
As a child, I had a lot of problems breathing and was under an ENT specialist who told me that my tonsils were too big that I would grow out of it. I was a heavy breather as a child but I did grow out of this.
Since I was a child, despite being very slim build I was a very loud snorer which has continued since. People have found it difficult to sleep in the same room as me. My partner has just told me that I occasionally grunt in my sleep but he said it doesn't happen very often.
When I nap, I often wake up with my heart racing and very disorientated and groggy. When I sleep at night, I could easily sleep 10 hours and still wake up tired although I don't have any problems actually waking up in the morning.
Over the years, I have also had bouts of Low B12 and Anemia but the GP has always said it was borderline and unlikely to make me this tired.
I have been for almost every test possible and they have ruled out thyroid, immune system issues, hormonal issues, diabetes, ADHD, depression and various other things. Although the while thing is getting me down and I am worried I might be starting to develop depression.
I have currently been diagnosed with dyspraxia and I am seeing a geneticist for hypermobility. These things don't really account for the pattern of my symptoms however
Steadily over the years I have also been having poor circulation and more and more problems breathing during exercise which leaves me exhausted. My skin and hair condition are also getting progressively worse. I have good days though and wake up refreshed but it doesn't occur very often. During these days, most of my symptoms go away.
I also had a stimulatory side effect from a medication I was taking and I never felt so good in my whole life.
This test for sleep apnea is a bit of a last resort for me. I am just wondering why none of the specialists would have suggested this before? I don't want to ask for a sleep test until I have done the hope2sleep test as they have referred me to so many other people already so might think I am just making it up.
I am in my late 20s with a slim build and low to normal blood pressure so although I know its possible to have sleep apnea, is it possible to have all my symptoms without being overweight and having high blood pressure?
Thanks for reading.

Hi, my heart goes out to you, I don't think it matters what your build is, although I'm on the heavy side, and can relate to a childhood of heavy breathing/snoring (for the record I was VERY skinny until puberty but still snored). Take the sleep test and if it SA get it diagnosed,
"I also had a stimulatory side effect from a medication I was taking and I never felt so good in my whole life".
I wonder what that medicine was and why it made you feel so good?
Take the test from Hope2sleep, but remember that if it is a home study it may not be 100% acurate, but a very good guide. Once you get an answer go and get referred to a Sleep Centre for a Nocturnal polysomnography, this is the best test and it involves you being in hospital/Sleep Clinic and wired up to a computer and an APAP for a night, sometimes two. However, it is the best test there is and it might even pick up other odd sleep patterns. I used to be thin when I was at school and snored like a power saw on heat lol. I did this most of my life until I met my partner, this is when she noticed I stopped breathing. Then she read about it in a magazine and we went to the doctor who promptly said "No one has ever died of Sleep Apnoea", this made my partner hit the roof. She was so angry that he agreed to send me to ENT where it just happened that the consultant there was attached to the Chest Clinic and was in charge of Sleep Apnoea studies there at the time, so it was a lucky break. I did tests in Aberdeen, first time the nurse managed to delete the data, so I had to go back in again the next night to do it all over again! However, the second night I had a room all to myself (the first night I was on a main ward with oldies coughing and moaning all night) so I got a better sleep and as the nurse said a scary result. There was a male nurse there called Spike because of his hair, he was very camp, but he looked after me very well and was an excellent nurse.
I was then sent to Edinburgh eventually and after a night there came home with a machine and all the gear.
Took a while to get used to it, but I made up my mind that it had to work for me as there was no more options open to me by then. I was so tired during the day by this time that I could only drive safely 30 miles before I had to stop and take a rest. This had an impact on work, but I muddled through it.
I know what you are going through and when I was at school the teacher would say I was always a bit slower then everyone else and sometimes they thought I was asleep. I just got fed up listening to then prattling on and I needed more to keep my interest lol.
Good old days, you must be kidding!!!
Stick at it and do the test, then go for it. Straight to the doctor, though it can be a long wait and might be worth getting a machine of your own if it is going to be a long wait. Buy a second hand APAP if you have to.
Whatever happens DON'T worry about it, yes there is some disruption if you have to use a machine but believe me and I'm sure sleep2snore will agree, the disruption is far outweighed by the feeling of relief you'll get from a good nights sleep and the boost in confidence you'll get.
"No one has ever died of Sleep Apnoea" What a STUPID statement and from a doctor as well, i'm glas

Thank you both for your comments. I have just done the sleep test last night and a bit scared of the results now! I have this feeling that it will come back fine as everything else has but regardless think I will ask the doctor for a sleep study anyway as I guess it could be other things.
Sorry I'm late to this discussion, and hopefully you are now on the way to finding out whether sleep apnoea is at the root of your problems, as if I'm correct in who you are I believe you may have already done our test which we're just awaiting to arrive back here, and once it does it will tell us what's going on. Our home screening test has proven to be as accurate as the hospital ones - most of whom do home sleep tests, and some of the hospitals even use our report as a diagnostic. We don't offer it as a diagnostic, even though our chairman and medical advisers are fully qualified to do this, because our aim is that people will be treated at their local clinics, as we cannot emphasise enough how important it is to have a face to face consultation with a full medical history.
Your story is so typical of people who have struggled with undiagnosed sleep apnoea for most of their lives, but let's wait and see what the report says before jumping to conclusions and we'll be in touch asap when the device arrives back here. I will say though that my story was similar....had every test under the sun, and the last resort was actually the one thing that was overlooked!
Hang in there as we're nearly there....

"I Lost a Quarter at the White House"
Story Behind the Name
With a floor that is sloped in four directions, that seemingly forms a bowl in the center, when you drop a quarter, it's gone. Tom still talks about that lost quarter like it saved him in the war. It was his favorite quarter, and now it's somewhere in Clare.
Saginaw is a city with great history, architecture, culture and awesome natural beauty. The park system is outstanding and the surrounding neighborhoods are full of active and involved people who love their city and like where it's headed.
Next we hit Saginaw's old town, because we at UTR figured out real quick that's where cool restaurants are popping up all across Michigan. And besides, you know us—we like to eat.
A wise man once said, "Art will save us." I don't know who he was, but he must have known Eric Schantz. Eric is a street artist and muralist who is putting a positive and creative face on many of Saginaw's structures. His fascinating images and explosions of color instantly grab your attention. After he's got it, his hope is to convey a sense that people care and that progress is being made. City art is giving a lot of people in Saginaw renewed energy and hope for the future. It's all part of the renaissance that's happening there.
Eric's an artist who could go anywhere, but Saginaw is the city he loves, and he loves showing it with art. Next time you're there, look around. Eric just might put a smile on your face.
Saginaw is an awesome city and we had a blast there. You should really go check it out for yourself real soon. If you do, please let me know. I need you to pick up a loaf of Spatz bread for my neighbor Jim.
If you're looking for a beautiful Americana type town to live in, Clare is the Mayberry of Michigan. It's clean, quaint, comfortable and full of rich history and friendly folks. It's the kind of place where people are born, grow up and never leave because it's so darn nice. It truly is quintessential small town America where people aspire to live.
If you're looking for a place with great neighborhoods, good schools, a beautiful downtown and fun stuff to do, I have just one thing to declare… oh, I already said it… Clare!

Our current customers have been enjoying the benefits of 2-way SMS for quite some time now, but we find that new customers are more used to 1way promotional (and/or transactional) services, where they just "fire and forget" thousands of messages, perhaps missing a key opportunity to improve their relations with their customers and extend their business with 2way SMS.
In this post we are going to explore what exactly is 2-way SMS, what it offers, and describe the top 5 main reasons to implement it in your company.

Bowl for Rhinos
One of the most beloved attractions at the Houston Zoo is the African Rhinos. Thanks to recent zoo renovations, families can now take a break from their zoo adventures and dine in the Serengeti up close to these amazing creatures.
But, the zoo's support of these endangered Rhinos does not stop there! In an effort to improve the critical situation facing Africa's black rhino, the Houston Zoo has joined forces with the International Rhino Foundation (IRF) for the 2011 Annual Bowling for Rhinos family night out event.
The Bowling for Rhinos event will be held on Friday, June 24 from 6 to 10 pm at the Palace Bowling Lanes on Bellaire Blvd in Houston and all proceeds will go towards the support and return of this species to Botswana.
There will be two sessions of bowling from either 6 to 8 pm or 8 to 10 pm. The entry fee with bowling is $25 for adults, $10 for kids and free for children 4 and younger. Entry fee with bowling will include food, unlimited bowling for two hours, souvenir water bottle, free shoe and ball rental, and access to the auction and raffle. Other non-bowling entry options are also available online.
Make plans now to bring the whole family out to the lanes and engage in a bit of friendly competition for these highly endangered Black Rhinos!

Screwed to the Bone -
Screwed to the Bone was the inaugural exhibition at the Meanwhile gallery. It brought together four artists who work in a variety of mediums.
What are the elements that make us human or define objects as mechanical? What is the relationship between these distinct elements? How different are we from what we create and when will this line cease to be drawn.
Artcore International 14 -
Artcore International 14 was the first group show. Participation was extended to all our artists and over 50 took part
To bring together the diverse factions, mediums and people within Artcore. The festival included a performance, film and live music night. Entry was free throughout the 4 day festival.
London Wall Street -
The opening of the Crow's nest was a collobaration between West London street artists and Artcore
Where upfront street art stares into the abyss of the surreal and comes out wondering if that really was an exhibtion or a trip deep into their own subconcious
Esthisis -
The second Artcore show at the Crow's nest was a collobaration between West London street artists and Artcore.
A museum of delights for the most inquisitive intellects and inquiring minds.

Wimbledon 2015 Day 2: Three of the ATP's Big Four, defending champion Petra Kvitova in action and more matches to watch.
LONDON – Wimbledon Day 2 features three of the ATP's Big Four, defending champion Petra Kvitova, Americans Madison Keys and Jack Sock, Eugenie Bouchard and more. Play begins at 7 a.m. ET on ESPN. The full television and broadcast schedule can be found here. Full order of play for Tuesday can be found here.
Roger Federer and Andy Murray take Centre Court: For the second consecutive major, Federer will play Bosnia's Damir Dzumhur, ranked No. 87, as the second match on Centre Court. Federer beat him easily last month at the French Open and should move through with ease again. No. 3 seed Murray plays Kazakhstan's Mikhail Kukushkin in the third match on Centre Court. Murray is 2-0 against Kukushkin but this will be their first meeting in three years.
Rafael Nadal takes on Thomaz Bellucci on No. 1 Court: Bellucci is primarily a clay court specialist—in an even more pure way than the more well-rounded Nadal—but confidence is confidence. He's in the midst of a very strong season. Nadal should move through here but Bellucci can hit a big ball and if he finds his range, he'll make Nadal work. Nadal has not lost a set to Bellucci in four matches, including a 7–6, 6–2, 6–3 loss here in 2012.
Petra Kvitova kicks off her title defense: The defending women's champion always plays her first match on Centre Court on Tuesday and that's the slot Petra Kvitova will take as she opens her tournament against Kiki Bertens. No. 108 Bertens is, like Kvitova, a big hitter who struggles with consistency but she did put together a run to the semifinal of s'Hertogenbosch a few weeks ago. This will be their first meeting.
Madison Keys looks to find her grass form: Illness derailed Keys' preparation for Wimbledon and forced her out of Birmingham. She comes into the tournament with just one grass match under her belt, a 6–2, 6–2 loss to Belinda Bencic in Eastbourne. She plays Stefanie Voegele (fourth match, Court 17). The Swiss won their only match, a 6–4, 6–3 win at Brisbane in 2013. Keys' game is based a lot on her confidence and if she can get through this match cleanly she'll be in a good frame of mind for the rest of the tournament.
Jack Sock and Sam Groth will feature big serving: Seeded for the first time at Wimbledon, Sock is looking for his second career win (in singles) at the All England Club. While this is the first meeting between Sock and Groth in singles (second match, Court 16), they've already faced each other in doubles, on Monday. Sock and Vasek Pospisil, the defending doubles champions, beat Groth and his partner Sergiy Stakhovsky in four sets in the first round, meaning both men have had a good long look at each other's monster serves.
Eugenie Bouchard tries to get on track...fast: Last year's finalist has lost 12 of her last 14 matches and retired from her last match due to an abdominal injury. She plays China's Duan Ying-Ying, a big hitter whose style should translate well to grass. Fans in China call her "Chinese Davenport" given her height and power. Well, American Davenport was pretty good on this green stuff.
American watch: Fresh off his run to the final in Nottingham over the weekend, Sam Querrey plays Igor Sijsling in the first round (second match, Court 5). Varvara Lepchenko goes for the upset bid against No. 20 Garbine Muguruza (first match, Court 15), Christina McHale plays Johanna Larsson (fourth match, Court 7), and Sachia Vickery plays No. 8 Ekaterina Makarova (third match, No. 2 Court)
Upset watch: No. 52 Lucie Hradecka vs. No. 13 Agnieszka Radwanska (second match, Court 12). With the Pole mired in a slump, Hradecka's flat hitting could cause her problems. This is their first meeting since 2006 and the Czech won all three of their previous matches.

Summer in the City- NYC Datasets
As we segue into the later part of summer, NYC and state has made a few interesting dataset additions. First and foremost, at the end of July NYCDCP finally
stopped swimming against the tide and drop the fees for MapPLUTO. This is a huge relief to nonprofits, community organizations, academics and small companies that really struggled to absorb the crazy cost of the dataset. A next major step would be to backdate this new spirit of openness to all versions of MapPLUTO that dates to the early 2000's. It boggles the mind how many amazing projects and understandings of the city could come of a coherent MapPLUTO data profile for property across a full decade. For a 'MapPLUTO Lite', Bryan Mcbride has an interactive quick view.
At the end of July, there was some fanfare regarding the 'release of hundreds' of new datasets….hmmmm. As noted at Streets Blog, this amounted to updates to current datasets as well as some new agency trip and crash count table data, but no overly dramatic geodata per se. I did notice on NYC Socrata that it looks like the some if not all subway lines/stops have been updated, and it also looks like the the General Transit Feed Specifications (GTFS) for some MTA data/feeds has been added/updated.
Regarding Socrata, its often the case that the available datasets are so rich and the search functions so broad, that one ends up piling through a mass amount of data returns per query. Segmenting by category often helps, and Health Data NY seems to have built a site around this strategy.
On the environmental side, New York Natural Heritage Program (NYNHP) has launched a dataset for, as the name suggests, New York Protected Areas (NYPAD). Downloads currently as a geodatabase. The interactive is by way of MapBox.
Back in the city, the Furman Center is out with their 12th year Housing and Neighborhoods Study, chocked full of data summaries featuring the fallout from our recession years. Here's a really depressing classic:

No, it's not at all ugly. It's just pretty unzoomed and has a fixed viewpoint, like some early 2000 games. This makes the game not only very light on computer load, but also on art and engine development costs. Creating the breathtaking graphics of Black Desert, or the somewhat cartoonish, but flashy and fiery WoW takes hundreds of millions of dollars, both to create the art and the engine that can render it. Such features don't add much to the game's competitive core. I mostly watched various inventory screens on BDO and most competitive players watch the battleground with maximum unzoom, where the characters are just little dots on the map. But the most perfect example of the effort being wasted on graphics is this EVE screenshot about Logistic (healer) ships. Please rate the ships according to their beauty in comments:
Sure, after you have hundreds of thousands of core players who like your gameplay, you can afford good graphics, cutscenes, voiceovers to cater to casuals who are just drawn to the hype and either play a game for a month before they realize they can't compete, or play some safe and irrelevant part of the game happily ever after. But before you get this core, you can't waste precious development resources on these beautification parts.
While Albion is far from being a success, Minecraft is a well known success story, despite its graphics isn't "simple" but "absolutely hideous". The new star of Steam, Playerunknown's Battleground (Battle Royale FPS) has graphics that reminds me to the HL:CS mod of 1999 which is responsible for so many evenings wasted. I'm pretty sure that if it keeps up its success, it'll get better graphics engine to cater to the idiots who pay money for cowboy costume. But for now, to grab the diehard FPS players, the 1999 style graphics is more than enough.
Crowfall devs - assuming they aren't ... like Star Citizen devs - made a huge mistake for not making the game first, graphics second. A simple engine where objects are just plain boxes with text over their heads to identify them as "tree" or "boar" would be perfectly acceptable for alpha testing, assuming the actual mechanics that make Crowfall unique (Eternal Kingdom + campaigns, progressing worlds) would be testable.
Please note that "just license an engine" is not an option (as Star Citizen devs learned). Graphics engines are typically designed for single player or very limited multiplayer games and perform horribly when you try to put in thousands of players. To make a competitive MMO, you must make your own engine that can safely handle a 10K battle, even at the cost of TiDi. Actually, EVE TiDi is the poster child how hard it is to add later. EVE TiDi fails to handle really big battles, because it cannot slow down movement sampling and network traffic.
I really hope that upcoming game devs don't follow the Crowfall road and go the way of Albion. Except for the gold speculation and supporting RMT part.
I was hesitating to break the "no politics" rule on the blog, because I really wanted to say something, but luckily the wisest contemporary thinker wrote what I meant to (and much better than I could).

As you're going through your divorce, you will be dividing your property and assets with your spouse. The things you've accumulated during your marriage, such as your home, your vehicles, savings accounts and more will all need to be divided. One thing that many people don't stop to think about is their retirement plans. This will need to be divided as well, in order to be fair. This article discusses what you need to know about dividing retirement plans after a divorce.
Determine What Type of Retirement Plan You Have -
There are many different types of retirement funds, including the most popular - IRAs. Why is it important to determine the type of plan you have? Attorneys and the courts will use a certain terminology to describe the division of the retirement plan. In order to ensure that the right terminology is used and therefore the documents are binding and legal, they must first know exactly what type of retirement plan you hold. This will ensure that the retirement plan is thoroughly divided and that everything is on the up and up.
Checking with the Financial Institution Which Holds the Retirement Plan Policy -
This is also important. Different institutions will require the policies to be divided in different ways. For instance, for some documents dividing retirement policies, the retirement account number as well as the custodian's full name must be included. For others, there may be different requirements. Check with the institution your policy is held by and make sure you know exactly what must be included in the divorce documents in order for the policy to be legally and appropriately divided.
Ensure That All Details Are Covered -
Another thing you want to do is make sure that all the details are covered as far as the policy goes. How will it be divided? Will it be split down the middle or will there be a percentage division? Map out exactly how the retirement plan will be divided so that there are no questions down the line. Your attorney can help you with the proper wording or drafting up the documents, but you need to be certain that the documents are correct and that they are clear and concise when it comes to dividing the assets. There is a danger that if the documents are not worded correctly and are determined as not legally binding, you could lose all ownership to the retirement plan. This is definitely not a good situation so do your due diligence.
If you can't agree with your spouse on how the retirement plan should be divided, the judge will decide for you, based on your situation and needs. It's usually a better idea to decide for yourselves how the plan will be divided. While many couples are able to do this, some are hostile and bitter to the point that they are unable to agree on anything. It depends on your situation, but if at all possible, determine with your spouse the percentages you will receive. By knowing this information, you can ensure that the retirement policy is divided accurately and fairly.
