Pilates is a physical fitness system developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates.
Tai Chi's healing power has been well-known in Chinese culture for centuries. It has been used for many disorders, including heart and circulation problems, addictions, arthritis, muscular injuries, asthma and nervous disturbances. Contemporary research has shown a correlation between Tai Chi and enhancement of the immune system.
Wellbeing Cafe happens every week on a Tuesday and hosts a variety of interesting talks and activities as well as a chance for you to chat and socialise.

Egypt could potentially position itself as a major seasonal player in the gas sector as the market dynamics begin to shift
According to research from global natural resources consultancy firm Wood Mackenzie, Egypt's gas markets market is poised to undergo profound changes in the next five years. This could have an impact on the global LNG market as Egypt positions itself as a prominent seasonal player.
The previous five years have consisted of falling gas production but switching from a net exporter to a net importer, Egypt's fortunes look set to change. As a number of major offshore gas developments come on stream in the next few years, including BP's West Nile Delta and Atoll fields and Eni's massive Zohr find, the North African country will add a cumulative 41 bncm a year of gas production by 2022. These new volumes will push the country's gas market back to surplus.
According to the Wood Mackenzie's analysis, this surplus will be seasonal. Indeed, better gas availability will boost domestic consumption in the power sector, peaking in the summer months, while utilisation rates at gas-intensive industries will recover. Overall, this will exacerbate Egypt's domestic gas demand seasonality. In the medium-term, LNG imports may still be critical to balance the market in the summer. Meanwhile, Egypt could export surplus volumes during the winter, taking advantage of northern hemisphere winter LNG prices.

Art Nouveau was a movement in the visual arts popular from the early 1890s up to the First World War. It is viewed by some as the first self-conscious attempt to create a modern style. Its influence can be found in painting, sculpture, jewellery, metalwork, glass and ceramics. The drawings of Aubrey Beardsley, the architecture of Victor Horta and Paul Hankar and the poster designs of Alphonse Mucha are some of the most familiar examples of the Art Nouveau style.

Dora has been very good at keeping our daughter interested in piano and helping to inspire her to more and more challenging levels of playing. She has incorporated Music Theory as a regular portion of the training and has made it more than just learning the piano by itself, but an understanding of music. Dora is very involved with Lancaster Music Teachers Association and this brings so many opportunities for involvement with recitals, additional training events and the chance to see many other talented students in our area. We are very pleased with the interest and dedication that Dora has shown in our daughter over the past 3 years.+ Read More
My experience has been fantastic with Mrs. Dora! She is very patient and understanding. I came to her with very little technic and she has helped me so much. I feel more confident and secure in my playing. I look forward to my lessons every week and would highly recommend her!+ Read More
Dora is a WONDERFUL teacher for anyone of any age seeking to learn and play piano!!! My nine year old daughter and I both started lessons with Dora almost a year ago and she works with us both so well. With great patience and persistence. She takes the time to get to know you and knows when to push you. She is really thorough; Dora has had us learning music theory since the beginning. Additionally she does not allow us to form bad habits; Dora insists on correct seat height, posture, the way to hold your shoulders, arms hands, fingers. No correct notes played with incorrect fingers permitted! Dora is a performing musician and often when we are arriving at her cozy home based studio we are treated to the soaring sounds of her playing the glossy Yamaha grand piano we play (someday we hope to make it sound even half as beautiful!) She is usually rehearsing for a show. Speaking of shows Flora had had my daughter perform with her other students onstage twice and me once. She offers her students opportunities for learning at other places as well. A solid education in the mechanics of playing and musical expression on the piano, music theory and performance is what you will receive with our dear Dora Zlatkin, who I am proud to call not only my teacher, but my friend too. She is the best!+ Read More

Selling Your Home: Then and NowSelling Advice
Real estate marketing has changed (for the better we would say!) over time, with methods that used to be the "way things are done," no longer dominating in the marketplace. As buyers become increasingly savvy and information becomes more readily available, the job of the real estate agent in marketing property has changed. At Charlesgate Realty, we utilize the latest technology (like 3D walkthroughs) and market data to put our listings in front of TONS of potential buyers. Take a look at "then" and "now."
It was not that long ago that real estate agents drove around with books of listings in their trunks (before an online MLS was the "norm!" My how things have changed! Marketing real estate listings involved a lot of print advertising and materials in order to get a listing sold. A typical "listing package" would include:
Listing sheets
These glossy brochures showcase the property so interested buyers can remember the features of the homes they look at while touring. We utilize only professional photography and floor plans to make sure that these are the best representation of your property.
Just listed postcards
These postcards were sent to the neighbors to talk about the listing (and see if they have any friends that could be their new neighbors!) We still do them as part of our listing campaigns with professional photography and links to our listing websites (more on that later!)
An ad in the local paper
Remember classified ads? These used to be the norm for getting real estate listings sold. Whether in the Boston Globe or local publications, they can still be a way for buyers to find out about listings in some markets.
An open house (or 2, or 3, or 4…)
Open Houses were one of your best chances to view a property, met with a sign-in sheet and cinnamon in the oven! Oftentimes, they are still a great way to see a property and meet with the listing agent.
In today's world of internet-savvy buyers and an ever evolving real estate marketplace, it becomes even more important to get your listing out there in a variety of ways. Although some of the tried and true tools such as listing sheets and print media are still important, there are many more "behind the scene" ways of getting your listing in front of potential buyers. Our marketing experts spend time analyzing the ever evolving online marketplace to get your listings noticed and sold!
Property Websites
These are exciting ways to showcase your home with professional photography, virtual walkthroughs, and information on the neighborhood. Take a look at one for a property we currently have listed.
Google Ad-Words
Ad word campaigns help get your listing noticed by people searching in a particular area. We spend a great amount of time analyzing keyword trends to make sure that we present our listings to those consumers who it may be a perfect match!
We promote our listings on all the big real estate websites including Trulia, Zillow, and Realtor.com. We also push them out to all reciprocal real estate companies through the MLS. Beyond this, we make sure that our listings go to almost 100 other sites for maximum exposure – big and small. Some of these include:
- Hotpads
- Yahoo Homes
- MSN Real Estate
- HGTV Frontdoor
- Military.com
- LiveLovely
- and many more!
Social Media
Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn are all your friends when you are looking to sell a home. We develop exciting graphics that showcase qualities of the home that our agents push out to their spheres. This is a great way to build interest in a home or promote open houses.

Years back, on a bus from Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville – with the long defunct DH Cambodia – I saw flying cow.
On National Route 4, we were somewhere south of Pich Nil but hadn't yet reached the Koh Kong turnoff. I was sitting toward the back, half dozing, when the bus suddenly lurched, braking hard, very hard, tossing me forward. The bus began fishtailing this way and that, tires squealing, metal straining, the driver was losing control. He released the brake. I fell back into my seat. The path straightened and everything went silent, if only briefly. There was a huge explosive crashing noise, but the bus glided on, barely impeded. I turned to my window just in time to see a cow flying gently past, a dirty white Brahma, only inches away, about 2 meters off the ground, front legs and head pointed forward, superman style, gently rolling left as if executing a banking turn. She looked rather majestic in what appeared to be, for that moment, controlled flight. The bus braked hard again, finally coming to a stop.
I looked forward. The windshield was smashed. The driver opened the door and jumped out, running to collect bits of the bus that had broken off in the impact. A cow lay motionless in the field next to the bus. Two hundred meters away, a saronged old woman was running across the field toward the bus, screaming something and waving her arms. The driver yelled for his partner in the bus to help him gather the bus parts quickly. They hurriedly tossed pieces of panels, bumper and headlamp in through the door. The old woman got closer. The driver scrambled back on the bus and fired it up. He fought to close the door but it wouldn't shut for the damage. He threw it into gear and pulled away, the old woman trailing near the still open door screaming, the bus making equally unpleasant grinding and screeching noises from the front.
He drove another 5km or so, the passengers in muttering semi-silence, then stopped, now safe from the cow owner. The driver and assistant got out to inspect the damage. They tried reassembling the front end, without success. The driver decided to run away at that point, but the assistant caught him and brought him back. On arrival in Sihanoukville, I saw the driver explaining to the company manager at the station, pleading really. I hopped on a motodup to my hotel, and as I looked back I could see the manager beating the driver over the head with a plastic chair at the side of the street, him now on the ground cowering, motodups and small children pointing, giggling and laughing at the sight.

The not so magical flying cow

Haha! Wow, that was a post after ages!ReplyDelete
With due regards to the dead cow, that was quite funny...:) By the way, if this had happened in India, it's entirely possible the driver would have been lynched.

I am new to owning a pool. We bought a house and it was here. Everything had been going pretty good since we got it clean and running. A few weeks ago after backwashing the pressure was at 10psi. It has remained at 10psi for about 3 weeks. I made the bad choice of backwashing because I had been vaccuming and thought I should. Well now the PSI is at like 2. I know this can not be good. What do I do? What happened? How do I get it back up to 12-15 PSI. The motor sounds fine, but there is weak water pressure coming from the return.
The gauge is brand new too.
Please help!
You really should start a new topic instead of adding to someone else's six month old discussion.
Is your filter sand or DE? If DE, you simply backwashed all your filtering material out and need to reload it.

Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
âWhere are the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? That have passed like rain on the mountains, like wind in the meadows. The days, come down in the West, behind the hills of shadow." Just a tidbit from the greatest epic in the English language ever written, The Two Towers. If you hate reading, read it anyway and you will see why libraries and bookstores are still in existence. Peter Jackson carefully translated this into film, in which turned heads from Harry Potter. Finally, EA translated it once more, which actually breaches some of the sales of Vice City in December 2002. It has even cut in on some playing time of my favorite titles, and is definitely a keeper. If you havenât play it, its for the PS2 and rent it NOW. The power of Sauron commands you! Although it suffered a few flaws, it made us wonder if it had indeed broken the âHollywood Curse.â?
This curse refers to the results when trying to make a game based upon a movie, which is usually dog-coaster material. Games such as âThe Mummyâ? and âMinority Reportâ? do nothing but back up this claim. But EA actually focused some time and energy into the key aspects, and because of the inter-laced movie/visual graphics, we were pleasantly surprised. But after only about 8 hours time, we were left with cramped hands, bulging eyes and fingers that twitched in our sleep. Why? We wanted more! Well, as Iâm sure all know, EA is currently drawing out the plans for its next title, âReturn of the King.â? Vice City accepted suggestions from fellow gamers, so perhaps EA might see what kinds of masterpieces that that produces. These are some following things that I would like to see in the next game that seemed to lack in Two Towers. Also, send me your suggestions by E-mail and Iâll put them up every week!
(1) LONGER! I think 50-60 missions is reasonable, a fair contrast from mere 14. I know that the movie didnât have these many battles, but Peter Jackson added some creative liberties, and so should they! They should add some battles that they think should have happened, and some brand new ones.
(2) More character features: Like on TFC, you should have to pick your class before battle. If you are long-range archer, you are safe from danger and just need to keep back the hordes. Infantry, commander, catapultist and even ranger (in which you find ways to vanquish you foes, such as finding and destroying a dam to flood you enemies) should all be available.
(3) Different Characters: Sure you have the great three, but what about Gandalf and the riders of Rohan? What if you wanted play as an Orc, Urak-hai, or a Cave Troll, or to be Lord Sauron himself, and rule Middle Earth with a fist of fury (that is until you have a carpentry accident and lose your ring finger!)
(4) Weapons? I think that EA was rushed for this feature, because you really should change weapons and have more animations with them. How about crossbows, maces, spears and huge torches?
(5) Not so linear! Seriously, I have rode rides at the carnival that were more off the track than this. You canât even turn around that much in some places. Middle Earth should be loaded into a huge map like in Vice City, in which a map guides the heroes from place to place, and loading checkpoints trigger a new adventure. Thus, the choppiness of the first one is done away with, and you can trudge through swamps, hike through forests, wade through rivers and snipe Mordorâs forces from afar.
(6) More moves: I think we all enjoyed the cinematic bane moves fro the first game, and we would like to see more. Perhaps a great, sweeping move to nock out a wave of enemies is necessary, especially for Gimli.
(7) Interacting with your environment: jump, climb, kick and chop to your advantage. It seems as if running was your only option in the first game, and I believe our heroes are much more versatile than that.
(8) More gore: Itâs not that necessary to the game but necessary for realism. In all my time hacking my way through thousands of orcs, all I saw was one little spurt of black blood. These clean, almost robotic movements do not do the book nor movies justice.
Thatâs it for now. Send me your suggestions and Iâll have them put up here pronto!

Riding high in the charts with "IheNeme", and fresh from his recent outing at MTV Africa All Stars, Lagos, 2Face joins Snoop Lion, Flavour and Zakes Bantwini at the concert, to be staged at Moses Mabhida Stadium, People's Park, Durban.
The charismatic singer will be a hugely popular addition to the lineup at the All Stars gig, where he is expected to take fans on a musical journey starting with his early material in PlatashunBoiz through to recent hits like Implication, I Just Wanna Be There, One Love and No Dulling.
According to the organisers, more than 10,000 people are expected to enjoy the once-in-a-lifetime concert as Snoop Lion, formerly known as Snoop Dogg, the legendary hip hop icon turned reggae superstar, performs his greatest hits interspersed with his new, "Reincarnated" reggae-flavoured repertoire.

A man unfairly imprisoned --- released at last --- sees a bird-catcher's shop --- hundreds of birds shut up in cages --- buys all and releases them --- says: only those imprisoned unjustly, realize the joy of freedom.
Once an innocent young man was sent to jail. He was released after a couple of years. He was passing through a bazaar one day. He saw many birds, shut up in small cages, in a certain shop. He thought about the days of his own imprisonment. He said to the shopkeeper, "What will you charge for all these birds?" He looked at his strange customer in great surprise. But he told him what he would like to have. The young man paid him the desired price, and set all the birds free. His joy knew no bounds, when he saw them flying in the air.

It's so easy to eat well in the summertime. There is fresh, local produce twice a week at the farmers' markets, and a bountiful co-op order once per month. I'd like to say a heart-felt Thank You! to all the Oklahoma farmers.
I was watching some farmers and crafters set up their booths for Wednesday's downtown market and I was trying to imagine what they were going through. We've been getting a ton of rain, so their crops must be growing like crazy. But, the rain can (and usually does) bring some nasty friends: lightning, crazy-ass winds, and hail. So, those prolific vines or bushes can be flattened in an instant and there goes the investment of time and money and wagered return. I know how heartbroken I feel to see my battered tomato plants, and I'm still in the "novelty" stage, not the "bread-and-butter" stage. A big downpour came through Wednesday morning. Luckily, the meteorologists were correct in their forecast: the storm was quick, albeit fierce, and was in and out in about 20 minutes and left beautiful blue skies and crisp air. But, what if the storm had stuck around all day? How dependent are the farmers on the market sales? Then again, how much does the market detract from the time needed to tend the farm? Between developing a market for the goods, learning how to market, creating marketing materials, hiring, firing, loading, hauling, greeting, small-talking, selling (but not being too pushy), and hauling the leftovers back home, how much time is actually left to be a farmer? Or has the job description for a "farmer" evolved to include those duties by default? How much of the farmer business is a catch-22? The chicken or the egg? You get my drift.
I am very thankful for our Oklahoma farmers that make it work. And I'm glad to support them.
A few pretty pictures from the past three weeks at the OSU-OKC Downtown Farmers' Market. I spend around $15 dollars each week.

The team were called before governing body the FIA to answer charges they had asked driver Nelson Piquet Jr to crash to help team-mate Fernando Alonso win. Former team boss Flavio Briatore has been banned from FIA sanctioned events for an unlimited period. Renault's ex-engineering director Pat Symonds has also been excluded from F1 for five years. The plan to deliberately crash was their idea, Piquet told the FIA. Briatore and Symonds parted company with Renault last week at the same time as the French car giant said they would not contest the charges." from BBC Formula 1 website. They've got off light if no cash penalty imo.

Hannibal was the son of the great Carthaginian general Hamilcar Barca. Hannibal was taken to Spain by his father and at an early age was made to swear eternal hostility to Rome.
Hasdrubal, son-in-law and successor of Hamilcar was assasinated in 221 BC, and, at the age of 26, the carthaginian army regonized Hannibal as its commander in chief.
Hannibal immediately turned himself to the consolidation of the Punic hold on Spain. He married a Spanish princess, Imilce, then began to conquer various Spanish tribes. He fought against the Olcades and captured their capital, Althaea; quelled the Vaccaei in the northwest; and in 221, making the seaport Cartagena his base, won a resounding victory over the Carpetani in the region of the Tagus River.
In 219 BC Hannibal made an attack on Saguntum, an independent Iberian city south of the Ebro River. In the treaty between Rome and Carthage subsequent to the First Punic War (264-241), the Ebro had been set as the northern limit of Carthaginian influence in the Iberian Peninsula.
Although Saguntum was south of the Ebro, The Romans had some kind of fat friendship with the city and regarded the Carthaginian attack on it as an act of war. The siege of Saguntum lasted eight months, and in it Hannibal was severely wounded. Thus began the Second Punic War, declared by Rome and conducted, on the Carthaginian side, almost entirely by Hannibal.
The march into Gaul
Hannibal spent the winter of 219-218 at Cartagena in active preparations for carrying the war into Italy.Hannibal crossed the Ebro in April or May of 218 and marched into the Pyrenees. There his army--which consisted, according to Polybius, of 90,000 infantry, 12,000 cavalry and a number of elephants--met with stiff resistance from the Pyrenean tribes. This opposition and the desertion of some of his Spanish troops greatly diminished his numbers, but he reached the Rh�ne River with but little resistance from the tribes of southern Gaul.
Hannibal used coracles and boats locally commandeered; for the elephants he made jetties out into the river and floated the elephants from these on earth-covered rafts. Horses were embarked on large boats or made to swim.
During this operation hostile Gauls appeared on the opposite bank, and Hannibal dispatched a force under Hanno to cross farther upstream and attack them in the rear.
The Alpine crossing.
Hannibal's army approached the Alps either by the Col de Grimone or the Col de Cabre, then through the basin of the Durance, or else by the Gen�vre or Mont Cenis passes into the upper Po Valley, descending into the territory of the hostile Taurini, where Hannibal stormed their chief town (modern Turin).
While crossing the Alps, first danger came from the Allobroges, who attacked the rear of Hannibal's column. On the third day he captured a Gallic town and provided the army from its stores with rations for two or three days. Snow was falling on the summit of the pass, making the descent even more treacherous. Upon the hardened ice of the previous year's fall, the soldiers and animals alike slid and foundered in the fresh snow. A landslide blocked the narrow track, and the army was held up for one day while it was cleared. Finally on the 15th day, after a journey of five months from Cartagena, with 20,000 infantry, 6,000 cavalry, and only a few of the original 38 elephants, Hannibal descended into Italy, having surmounted the difficulties of climate and terrain, the guerrilla tactics of inaccessible tribes, and the major difficulty of commanding a body of men diverse in race and language under conditions to which they were ill fitted.
The war in Italy.
Hannibal's forces were now totally inadequate to match the army of Scipio, who had rushed to the Po River to protect the recently founded Roman colonies of Placentia and Cremona. The first action between the two armies took place on the plains west of the Ticino River, and Hannibal's Numidian cavalry prevailed. Scipio was severely wounded, and the Romans withdrew to Placentia.
Hannibal spent the summer of 217 resting at Picenum, but later he ravaged Apulia and Campania; meanwhile the delaying tactics of Quintus Fabius Maximus Cunctator's army allowed only skirmishes between the two armies. Suddenly in early summer of 216 Hannibal moved southward and seized the large army supply depot at Cannae on the Aufidus River. There early in August the Battle of Cannae was fought. While the Gauls and Iberian infantry of Hannibal's centre line yielded before the drive of the numerically superior Roman infantry, the Libyan infantry and cavalry of Hannibal's flanks stood fast, overlapped the Roman line, and in a rear encircling movement turned to pursue the victorious legionaries.
This great land victory brought the desired effect: many regions began to defect from the Italic confederacy. But Hannibal did not march on Rome but spent the winter of 216-215 in Capua. Gradually the Carthaginian fighting strength weakened.
Hannibal, except for the capture of Tarentum (modern Taranto), gained only minor victories (215-213). Reinforcements from Carthage were few. In 213 Casilinum and Arpi were recovered by the Romans, and in 211 Hannibal was obliged to march to relieve the Roman siege of Capua. Despite Hannibal's quick march to within three miles of the strongly fortified walls of Rome, Capua fell. In the same year, in Sicily, Syracuse fell, and by 209 Tarentum, in south Italy, had also been recaptured by the Romans.
The wars in Spain and Africa.
Meanwhile Roman successes in Spain dealt severe blows to Carthaginian power there. In 208 Hasdrubal, detaching a force from the main Carthaginian army, crossed the Alps (probably by his brother's route) to go to Hannibal's aid. Hasdrubal's army was defeated, however, at Metaurus in northern Italy (207) before the Carthaginian armies could effect a junction. His last hope of making a recovery in central Italy thus dashed, Hannibal concentrated his forces in Bruttium, where with the help of his remaining allies he was able to resist Roman pressure for four more years.
Scipio, however, struck at North Africa, breaking Carthage's principal ally, the Massaesylian Numidians, and endangering Carthage. In order to go to the help of his country, Hannibal abandoned Italy in 203. Although a preliminary armistice had already been declared and the Carthaginian armies had accepted Scipio's severe terms (winter 204-203), Hannibal concentrated the remnants of the Carthaginian forces at Hadrumetum (modern Sousse, Tunisia). Almost at the very moment when the ambassadors were returning from Rome with the preliminary peace proposals, the Carthaginians violated the armistice.
Accounts of the campaigns that followed differ greatly. Both Hannibal and Scipio, in order to link up with their respective Numidian allies, moved up the Bagradas River to the region of Zama Regia. Hannibal was now deficient in cavalry; the mercenary troops of his front line and the African infantry of his second line together were routed, and Scipio, seeing that Hannibal's third line, the veteran soldiers, was still intact, reformed his front and brought up the Numidian cavalry of Masinissa, his Numidian ally, in the Carthaginian rear. Hannibal lost 20,000 men in defeat, but he himself escaped Masinissa's pursuit.
Exile and death.
Hannibal was a loser and ran away. He ran to some guy and was defeated by the Romans again.
Finally the Romans by unknown means put themselves in a position to demand the surrender of Hannibal. Unable this time to escape, Hannibal poisoned himself in the Bithynian village of Libyssa. The year is uncertain but was probably 183.

Beverly Hills Ninja (1997) sent up the family guy, the respectable sinning of the Beverly Hills rich, and the debt the Chinese pay to their ancestral prophecy, all for a few laughs.
These subtleties centered in the negative, which is unsurprising, for a trashy comedy from the 90's.
For all its send up of Beverly Hills, Beverly Hills Ninja still celebrates the Hollywood machine by delivering a Chris Farley comedy vehicle, which nevertheless is stupefying. Apart from the few laughs at the beginning.
Should we celebrate the Hollywood machine because of a Chris Farley vehicle made to please? Nah. The movie's pathetic.
The subtleties are revealing in a plot that's threadbare. Basically, the story is about a long awaited one, but who may not be the one.
Haru was washed ashore and raised by ninjas, but is clumsy, however well-intentioned. Surely not the one.
When Haru's on a mission to save a woman, an accomplished ninja must help him out, shadowing him. We're supposed to laugh, but don't.
First subtlety. The family guy, probably from Middle America, is shown as a bit of a bully. This happens when the guy's son is alarmed by taking Haru too literally. What Haru is reported to have said winds him up with a punch in the face from the family guy.
Second subtlety. Beverly Hills is a lavish place for respectable sinning. Dressed in swank and driving porches, carried with cool detachment, the counterfeiters could embezzle under your nose.
Third subtlety is sending up or poking fun at ancestral prophecy. The long awaited hero may be a bumbling idiot. Think Inspector Clouseau (from The Pink Panther) in ninja gear—which makes him also dangerous. Ancestors deserve more respect, now.
* star (out of * * * * * stars)
A couple who treat one another well—because they are in love—told in a naturalistic setting.
At the movies, it's a breath of fresh air to see a couple engage one another positively in every moment they are with one another. That's Paterson (2016): out on DVD since April 4 in North America.
In their everyday abode, in the city of Paterson, New Jersey, this couple chats about ordinary things. Paterson (Adam Driver), a bus driver, comes home every night to a relationship with his "other half" Laura (Golshifteh Farahani) a relationship which is good.
She's a dreamer who embarks on projects of fancy which are supported by Paterson. Never an argument, a snide word, nor a fatal miscalculation of judgment.
It's a love match which Paterson writes about in his journal—in poems that his wife says should be published. He likes to keep his poetry secret, though, as if the rhythm he expresses in lines holds more meaning in his life than a publishing contract would.
Chemistry of life
The ordinary moments in a relationship—more than meets the eye. However, to the eye the passing everyday remarks and comments may seem drab. The day-in-and-day-out routine of life merely rudimentary. But Paterson revels in them and reflects life back to the viewer. There is a point when one engages in the everyday experience and the characters seem like us. Our life is reflected back to us. It's soothing as life, as we would know it, unfolds on the screen.
Later, one is moved by Paterson's reaction to a distressing event, the only such event in the film. He has to come to terms with it. A mysterious poet from Japan is there for him in a moment like this. When life takes a bad turn, the poet says that there is nothing like an empty page to begin again with.
Paterson is more than a slice of life, more than a piece of life. It exudes the chemistry of life—in poetry, relationship, and the everyday experience. And what comes out is beautiful.
* * * * * (out of * * * * * stars)
With the last of the 2016 movies already available or nearly ready for home viewing, I have compiled a list of some my stand-out films of 2016:
Instinctively, I got on board this quiet yet suspenseful science fiction thriller Arrival. It twists and turns and surprises. Looking between the lines, there appears to be a life affirming theme in there as well, despite the trappings that come with alien invasion films, that eerie psychic-honed mind reading.
A quietly effective drama about coming to terms with losing a husband, Natalie Portman gets across the grief and loneliness of being a widow absolutely convincingly. Portman has very good support from John Hurt, Peter Sarsgaard, and Greta Gerwig. Jackie takes you on a journey through Jackie Kennedy's dark night of the soul and out of it.
Lion is a compelling drama about losing your birth family by accident and attempting to find them twenty-five years later. The loose ends of one's life need resolving. Putting the pieces back together is what's important here without offending the family who adopted. The lost Indian boy was adopted by an Australian family—and then sought what happened to his birth family.
Perhaps the matter of faith in a rescue mission is sidelined in Sully, but the movie is nevertheless a good dramatic recreation of the infamous yet famous landing of a plane on the Hudson River in 2009. The dangerous yet successful landing made many New Yorker's day—during the height of an economic recession and a general lull.
5.Hello, My Name is Doris
This is an unconventional romance, and not a love story, that's mainly set in the mind of a 60-something female office worker (played by Sally Field). Doris (Field) fancies her much younger supervisor and embarks on a fantasy that crosses into real life. It's not exploitative, but sensitively and good naturedly handles the material.
6.Eddie the Eagle
This inspirational feel-good film is about taking on life though you may fail. Yet getting involved is better than thinking, what if?
Defense in the Oxford dictionary is defined as "defending; justification; defendant's case or counsel; players in defending position; fortifications".
Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), in the Iron Man movies, is in a defending position. He has inherited weapons and defense manufacturer, Stark Industries.
In Iron Man (2008), a showing of the capabilities of Tony's new "Jericho" missile goes wrong in the desert of Afghanistan. Terrorists capture him, but he is kept alive though seriously wounded.
There is a way out. The Yinsen, the terrorist group, will let Tony go if he builds a missile for the Yinsen.
It's a no brainer. Why would he build a weapon for the enemy?
It's a theme in World War II movies, where the brains of an outfit is coaxed into building weapons for the other side, much against their own conscience. The theme is in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
In a movie, it's always a let-down when someone with the know-how starts to design something dangerous for the opposition.
However, their life is at risk if they don't.
When it matters, standing up for principles can be difficult but seems to be necessary.
Tony does not go down that path of compromise. He will defend his country and his honor no matter the risks. It is also a matter of survival. So he builds the Iron Man suit, which is powered armor suit, with the intention to escape through superior muscle.
Tony will not give in to the enemy's demands. He's defending himself and his country by not giving over a weapon to the enemy in exchange for his freedom.
His fight for escape is hard-won, but he will not give in. The justification he has for defense is that a weapon in the hands of a terrorist is a terrible thing. He couldn't live with his conscience if he ever did give in to the terrorist's demands, not that he would.

Shh,Zombies Prototype Launch!
I'd like to officially announce the game I've been working on (even though I've blogged about it before): Shh,Zombies!
I'd also like to use this blog post for the prototype launch, as well as to ask you to have a play of it, and give any feedback of your experience – more on this towards the bottom.
Shh,Zombies was originally an idea I had to be the companion app to an incredibly awesome Zombie MMO idea I was developing (might tidy it up and post it one day) – 'Survive'. Shh,Zombies would have been a mobile app to help spread the word of the main game, and would have included the player profile, player stats, game status, server status, and various other things for players with active accounts in 'Survive'. This app would have also included a mini puzzle game, giving players of 'Survive' and non-players a reason to use the app.
Unfortunately, I'm not in the position to be making an MMO, so the puzzle game evolved into Shh,Zombies and I've been making it for about 2 months or so.
Shh,Zombies is a puzzle game where players must get their character to the safe house, by setting out a safe path through the level. Avoid zombies, overcoming obstacles and using the environment to their own ends. Players must be wary, as zombies are attracted to loud noises, making it possible for sound to be both an ally and a danger.
– Zombies attract by sight and sound.
– Top down, bird's eye view.
– Grid, turn-based gameplay.
– You set up the path for the character to run along.
– Set different actions to happen along the path (run, jump, crawl, shoot, throw grenade, etc). – not in prototype.
– Replayability, with day (normal difficulty) and night (hard difficulty) modes, with more zombies and less light during night time.
– Trivia mode; where each level has a question, the answer to the question is a number. To successfully complete the level, the player must complete the level in that amount of moves.
– On-going updates bringing new official levels and community submitted levels.
Send feedback to: email@example.com
Please have a play, there are 5 levels, and each shouldn't take long to complete. At this point, I'd like to add some caveats:
– It's possible to place markers where the player can't reach, this will be fixed later, so please don't comment to me about it. If you do do it, it'll spoil the experience a little bit.
– The player currently turns to point at the top of the screen at each marker, this isn't intended – I just haven't fixed it yet.
– Please read the instructions.
– These levels will probably be used as tutorial levels.
– Obviously no art assets are in game yet, the assets will be made with Quibcle. The art style I'm going for is this (image from minddesk).
– *SPOILER* Those two grey cubes in the middle of level 3, are cars, you can climb over them (unfortunately, the solution currently doesn't work 100% of the time).
Missed from the instructions, the exit is the red sphere on the right side of the play area.

My Journey To Plant Strong, Part 1: A Less-Than-Optimally-Brief Personal History

I'm enjoying reading your story, and looking forward to the happy ending. I think every human being on the face of the earth can relate to your "self-perpetuating cycle of failure" in one way or another. I'd hate to admit how long ago I first happened upon this way of eating, and how many excuses there have been since then. So thanks for the encouragement....!ReplyDelete
I tried plant strong for a few years and kept overeating on plant based foods. Ugghhh! I really don't like to tell everyone I eat healthy but I'm fat. So I combined CEA HOW with plant strong and bingo! It seems to be working so far. What a relief and a blessing! If it doesn't work just going plant strong, you could consider this option. It's a great one!ReplyDelete

Hi, Dan!! I always LOVE the background story. Thanks for sharing so openly. Yes, I can relate to the self-perpetuating cycle of failure : ( Also, the remark about being "somewhat uncomfortable in my own skin". Up until the birth of my second child, I was always an average to slender weight. But not in my head.ReplyDelete
In my head I was a fat blob. As a young teenager, I would fall asleep praying that God would make my thighs slenderer by morning. What misplaced focus...and what havoc it wreaked with my relationship with God, too ; )
After the birth of my second child, I returned to my average to upper limit weight of 140. But within the past 14 years, I have gone up and down between there and 198 (I never allowed that 200 number to show on the scale). Your post gave me the kick in the rear I needed to revisit the Dr. Fuhrman website where I perused some old posts. In Feb. 2011 I weighed 158...was back on my way to healthy and then...well...that's just it...I don't really know what or why. I just know that this time I was back to 198 again before I got a grip. Sigh....
But that was last week and this is now. Thanks to the miracle of seeing your link on Healthy Girl's Kitchen, what you wrote resonated at a deep level and I'm back on plan. Eating plant strong, walking, using my Pilates reformer and feeling like I'm coming back to the land of the living. But I will say this...I haven't bounced back as quickly as before. I'm not feeling great, yet. But better....
Thanks again from the bottom of my heart. Looking forward to Part 2.
If you would like me to post a link on Dr. F's member center, I'm sure there are many people who would love to follow your journey. Just say the word.
Love, love, love, Marie
Yeah!!!! This was a laugh riot. The best medicine for overeating. We are all one and the same.ReplyDelete

Brewers minority owner Tony Ressler has interest in Clippers
Tony Ressler, a minority owner of the Milwaukee Brewers, is part of a group interested in buying the Los Angeles Clippers, according to ESPN.com.
Ressler, 54, is co-founder of Ares Management and before that Apollo Management. His partners in the bid for the Clippers are Bruce Karsh, co-founder of Oaktree Capital Management, and former NBA player Grant Hill.
Ressler was part of Mark Attanasio's investment group that in 2005 successfully bid to acquire the Brewers. Ressler is married to actress Jami Gertz.
The Clippers, who have not officially been put up for sale, reportedly have attracted the attention of at least six groups of bidders, including a group attached to former NBA star Magic Johnson and another to TV mogul Oprah Winfrey.
Meanwhile, because the Milwaukee Bucks sold for $550 million in one of the league's smaller markets, speculation about how much the Clippers will fetch in one of the league's biggest markets has sailed beyond a billion dollars.
Indiana University graduate Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, was the honorary starter for the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday. Before the race, Cuban was asked by a reporter about the potential selling price of the Clippers.
"I wouldn't be shocked if the bidding starts at $1.5 billion," Cuban said.
When the Bucks were sold for $550 million, Cuban said, referring to buyers Marc Lasry and Wes Edens, "I think they got off cheap."
Donald Sterling, who bought the Clippers for $13.5 million in 1981, has been banned from the NBA for racist remarks. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver wants to force Sterling to sell the team.
According to reports, Sterling has authorized his wife, Rochelle, to negotiate the sale of the team.
Top receiving corps
Bucky Brooks played a few games at cornerback for the Green Bay Packers in 1996 and '97.
Brooks, now an analyst for NFL.com, said his view of elite receiving corps in the NFL, and how they should be constituted, was formed by his Packers experience, when Brett Favre had Robert Brooks, Antonio Freeman, Andre Rison, Mark Chmura and Keith Jackson to target.
"The diversity created chaos for the Packers' opponents," Brooks said in a blog post.
With that template in mind, Brooks looked at the "talent and diversity" of all NFL receiving corps and ranked the top five. The Packers did not make his top five:
1. Washington Redskins (DeSean Jackson, Pierre Garcon, Andre Roberts, Jordan Reed)
2. Chicago Bears (Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffery, Martellus Bennett, Marquess Wilson)
3. Denver Broncos (Demaryius Thomas, Julius Thomas, Wes Welker, Emmanuel Sanders, Cody Latimer)
4. San Francisco 49ers (Anquan Boldin, Michael Crabtree, Steve Johnson, Vernon Davis, Brandon Lloyd)
5. Indianapolis Colts (Reggie Wayne, Hakeem Nicks, T.Y. Hilton, Coby Fleener, Dwayne Allen).
Market penetration
The Milwaukee Brewers are among the top teams in Major League Baseball in terms of engaging their market.
According to Scarborough, a marketing research company, 64% of the adults in the Milwaukee market have attended a Brewers game or watched a Brewers telecast or listened to a Brewers game on radio.
That market penetration ranks fifth among MLB teams. The Brewers ranking for this year is the same as 2013.
The St. Louis Cardinals again lead the way at 77%, followed by the Detroit Tigers (71%), Cincinnati Reds (69%) and Boston Red Sox (67%).
The Cardinals have been on top in this ranking for the last four years and have been at the top in 11 of the last 15 years.
The bottom feeders, as you might expect, are in baseball's biggest markets: Los Angeles Angels (25%), New York Mets (29%) and Los Angeles Dodgers (33%).
Believe me when I say it
CBS broadcaster Jim Nantz told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that he isn't any good.
At golf, that is.
His network's lead golf announcer, Nantz played on the University of Houston golf team with Fred Couples and Blaine McCallister. But these days he does not play much.
"I've got a baby," said Nantz, who is 55. "I've got a daughter in college. I travel a lot. I hit a lot. I just don't play very much anymore. I'm not good."
What's not good?
"I might shoot 85 or 90," Nantz said. "Really I'm not that good. The biggest misconception about me is that I was good at the University of Houston. The only reason they kept me on the team was because I was friends with all of the other guys."

Ueda also discusses the benefits of moving to PS4.
Posted By Ravi Sinha | On 31st, May. 2016 Under News
Sony's Japan Studio has had its hands full with The Last Guardian. Originally meant to release on PS3, the project was in limbo as creator Fumito Ueda left the company, founded his own studio called GenDesign (that is now assisting on the game) and development later moved to the PS4.
Speaking to IGN, Ueda revealed that the development cycle wasn't meant to be so long. We thought that Ico and Shadow of the Colossus took a long time to develop, so one of the missions of The Last Guardian was that we wanted to create something good in a short period of time, so the fact that it took a long time to develop was completely unexpected for me."
Furthermore, Ueda noted that, "It would be nice to talk about all the struggles we've been through, but there's a lot of things that we can't say yet." Which only makes us think of other things that hindered the game's development that we don't know about.
Ueda also noted that he was happy that development shifted to the PS4. "Now that I look back at it, the PS3 market has become smaller at this point and now I think the PS4 market is the main market so I am happy to have this title as a PS4 exclusive title, but when the decision was first made I had some difficulty and I felt a little disappointed because I wanted to release this game earlier."
The Last Guardian will be at E3 2016 and is apparently receiving new details. It's scheduled to release this year so stay tuned for more details.

When we first started riding as a family, experience warned me that we would eventually have to deal with someone else's not so friendly canine companion. This isn't meant as a how to article, but just a recounting of a few of our experiences and how we handled them.
We created something we called the dog drill. While touring or training together, mom always took the lead and dad always brought up the rear. The kids were strung along between us. Not only were the kids told what they should be doing in the event of a dog "attack" but we practiced. When the cry would go up the kids would move away from the edge of the pavement allowing mom to drop back and dad to come forward getting between the imagined dog and the kids. Mom and dad would aggressively confront the dog.
In truth we didn't run into a lot of trouble. Most dog owners are responsible enough to know that they can get into a lot of trouble for their dog causing a stranger trouble on a public thoroughfare. On tour we've never had an encounter but we have had to use our training during several of our practice runs close to home.
The first time was frightening for the kids. The dog was a big mixed breed and in truth I think it was only looking for an exciting chase. It didn't get that. The kids were very small but did exactly as they had been taught. Dad saw it all coming and mom just followed her instincts. The dog didn't expect the show of force, screeched to a halt confused, looked for away around and then beat a retreat.
Our second round didn't happen until the gang were mostly in their teen. I'm glad this didn't happen when the kids were younger because this dog was a great deal more aggressive. I was tempted to make a complaint to the township for all the good it would have done. In this case we confronted the dog as a group. Six big humans yelling their heads off angrily was too much for this dog. We inched out of his territory before he back all the way off. I pity any lone unprepared cyclist who rode there because this might have required mace. We made a point of not passing there anymore on our practice runs.
We love animals but sometimes it pays to be prepared and careful.

Tag: Jeep – new car reviews – pics – info – specs
The American car brand Jeep was founded in 1943 as part of the American Motors Corporation and was later on acquired by FCA (Fiat Chrysler Group). Over its history, the Jeep brand was known to provide off-road and sports utility vehicles as well as a limited run of pickup trucks.
The first Jeep models were built as order from the United States Military as it was inevitable that the US were about to intervene in the European theatre of operations during the second World War. The product was named Model MB and Model GPW respectively; the first were built by Willys-Overland while the latter were made by Ford but still using the Willys engine.
After the war was over, various car makers took the design of the Jeep and rendered under license; such brands include Delahaye, Mitsubishi Motors and even Toyota. As of 1st of February 1950, more chassis and cab designs were researched by Jeep and new models were to appear on the market. Among these are included the CJ-V35/U and the 1965 M715 model, both ordered for military usage.
The first Jeep car model to be available for civilian use was the CJ-2A, released in 1945, with newer versions in 1949 and 1953. These particular models are called flat-fenders. Their fenders were flat as with the models previously used by the military.
Fast forwarding, more recent models of the Jeep include the SJ series with a wagon, Cherokee (full-size SUV) and pickup design.
The Cherokee was launched for the first time in 1874 then switched to the newer version in 1984. The best-known model produced by jeep is probably the Wrangler. Launched in 1987 as the Jeep Wrangler YJ, it is one of the few modern off-road vehicles to feature front and rear solid axles and have dedicated systems for heavy off-road courses through mud, rocks and snow.

Scouting is patriotic, not political.
You can't escape hearing about the race for the White House, no matter how hard you try. The recent speeches and interviews that have spilled from the podiums in Iowa and New Hampshire are filling the airwaves, leading the headlines, and populating Twitter accounts from coast to coast and around the world. Yes, my friends, as Scouting prepares for a change in its national leadership in 2012, our country prepares to vote on its own leadership.
I like to think that Scouting plays an important part in our electoral process.
Simply put, I look at Scouting's role as being patriotic, not political. We, at the BSA, are the role models for responsible citizenship, so it's incumbent upon us to encourage our adult Scouters to set a great example by getting out to the polls.
At the same time, as the poster children for responsible citizenship, we also need to be individually engaged in encouraging voter responsibility in the communities we live in.
Statistics year after year have shown us how a small minority of registered voters are the ones actually making the decisions that drive the future of our country and its leadership.
It's important, however, for us to keep our patriotic and political beliefs separate and distinct. This isn't a call to rally behind a particular candidate or issue and leverage Scouting to help carry the day at the polls.
This is a call on our adult Scouters to exercise their right under the Constitution to speak their minds about the future leaders of this country, and do it through the ballot box.
Our society has really gotten away from understanding and embracing the cost of freedom. There's a huge need for involvement in making decisions on Election Day.
If you're looking for a license to complain, you need look no farther than your "I voted" sticker.

There are multiple payers that fund the services that hospitals provide to patients. In California, the four main types of payers are: private (ex. employer-based), Medicare, Medi-Cal (California's state Medicaid program), or uninsured (no payer).
Medi-Cal – California's Medicaid program – provides free or reduced-cost health coverage for low income individuals and families. Medi-Cal increases patients' access to important healthcare services, such as doctor visits, immunizations, hospital care, and the 10 essential health benefits.
The California Children's Services (CCS) Program provides diagnosis, treatment, and medical case management to 190,000 children under the age of 21 with special health care needs who are enrolled in Medi-Cal, are low income, or have catastrophic medical care costs. The program serves the state's most medically fragile pediatric population, including children with conditions like cancer, diabetes, and congenital heart defects.
When bacteria or viruses invade the body, the immune system releases white blood cells and antibodies to fight the infection and prevent serious illness. Once the infection is over, the body is left with "memory cells," which remember how to destroy the germ if the body were to become exposed to it again in the future.

A former track and field coach accused of committing sex crimes with one of his underage athletes pleads not guilty today in Grand Court.
Ato Mobido Stephens faces two counts of indecent assault of a female and gross indecency.
He is remanded in police custody and his trial is set to begin on 5 June and last for five days.
Mr. Stephens fled the Cayman Islands when the allegations came to light.
Police say he inappropriately touched the underage girl and threatened to kick off her the track team if she did not comply with certain requests.
Authorities caught up with Mr. Stephens in Miami, and he was extradited back to Cayman last month.

Matty Fleming could make his first appearance of the season after being named in Saints' initial 19-man squad for Friday night's home game against Hull KR.
Fleming, equally at home on the wing or in the centre, featured in seven matches last season, making his debut against the Leeds Rhinos at Langtree Park on April 17.
Dominique Peyroux returns to the squad but injuries rule out half backs Theo Fages and Luke Walsh, while there is no place for Matty Dawson.
Walsh is not expected to be missing much longer but Fages, who suffered a knee injury against the Catalans Dragons on Saturday, could be ruled out indefinitely.
Coach Keiron Cunningham said: "Theo has a knee problem and it doesn't look too good.
"We still have some tests to carry out but I don't think he will be back in the distant future. It's hard for him because he is a little warrior and gives everything every single week.
"He will bounce back as he is a durable character and doesn't normally pick up too many injuries.
"When he is hurt, he normally heals quickly, though, so fingers crossed we will get him back soon enough.
"Injuries are part of sport and we have just to carry on.
"Walshy isn't far off and when he does return he will come in and help the situation, but first of all he has to pass certain criteria."
Cunningham will select his 17 from:
1. Jonny Lomax, 3. Jordan Turner, 4. Mark Percival, 5. Adam Swift, 8. Alex Walmsley, 9. James Roby, 10. Kyle Amor, 11. Atelea Vea, 12. Jon Wilkin, 13. Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook, 14. Lama Tasi, 15. Greg Richards, 17. Luke Thompson, 18. Dominique Peyroux, 20. Joe Greenwood, 22. Jack Owens, 23. Shannon McDonnell, 24. Matty Fleming, 28. Morgan Knowles.
Jake Webster will choose his Hull KR 17 from:
4. Iain Thornley, 5. Kieran Dixon, 7. Albert Kelly, 8. Adam Walker, 9. Shaun Lunt, 10. Mitch Allgood, 11. Maurice Blair, 12. Graeme Horne, 13. Chris Clarkson, 15. James Donaldson, 16. James Green, 17. Dane Tilse, 18. Ben Cockayne, 20. James Greenwood, 21. Thomas Minns, 22. Matty Marsh, 24. George Lawler, 26. Robbie Mulhern, 29. Joe Wardill.
The game kicks off at 8pm and the referee is J Smith.

- Description
The legendary Orange hardcore steel hardtail has gone through a few changes over the years and after a brief hiatus it's back with new geometry, a new Reynolds 525 tubeset and a new wheel size, but with the same attitude that'll see it stood outside the headmaster's office on the first day of trail school.
This new P7 has rebel written all over it; long top tube geometry, a slacker head-angle even that the rowdy Crush, this bike means business. The whip and the spring of the CroMo chassis cannot be replicated, and once you 'get' steel, it's hard to go back to a frame with a less spirited ride. The P7 urges you to go faster, pedal harder and fly higher.
With frame features like the bolt through rear axle for rigidity, optional hose and cable bosses where you want then chunky tyre clearances, and internal dropper seatpost routing the P7 is ready to rock - Steel Yourself.
- Designed in Britain
- Five year frame warranty
- Custom butted Reynolds 525 CroMo Tubeset

Review: Thom Pain, Print Room
Published in Time Out, 20.09.2012
Life is short and life is shit. Both sentiments can seem like truisms on stage, but they're rarely so carefully sewn together as in Will Eno's searching little monologue. For an hour, it purrs bald truths and existential crises – that life is pain and solitude – but somehow still sends you away keen to carpe that diem.
Thom Pain seems a man spat out by the spin cycle of contemporary life. His black suit is slick, but dishevelled: top button undone, tie loosened, unshaven. There's an air of insomnia about him, or of post-going postal calm. He speaks to us in parables: of a bee sting, a dead dog and a lost love. Pain's heart isn't broken – his life goes on – but it is bruised beyond repair.
In Simon Evans's restrained revival, performer John Light is totally in tune with the precision of Eno's writing, which is always gentle, always blunt and thoroughly self-aware. He uses the situation of stage and audience to great effect without tipping into navel-gazing. Light chews on big ideas and toys with us mischievously. Imagine a university lecturer abandoning his notes for impromptu home-truths or a best man's speech at a funeral. It's desolate, sure, but strangely inspiring.
