Q: What is it?
Me: I don't know, I just like it.
I took a corner piece for some very fancy crown molding, painted it black, stenciled on some gold, and added a hook.
It turned out to be the perfect "home" for a bell that a family member brought back from their travels. It's in our back hallway now, and you can even ring it as you walk by, if you wish.

OK, for the record, did you know that acoustic ensemble Auburn actually broke up almost a decade ago? I know, right! But luckily for us fans they seemingly reformed back in 2011 and now have a brand new album and a major UK tour supporting the legendary Jefferson Starship. Oh, and they have also just celebrated their 40th anniversary; although quite where that decade break up fits �legally� into that anniversary timeline is above my pay grade!
Moving swiftly on and having saddled up their unique blend of Americana, blues and roots music to bring us Nashville lead singer Liz Lenten�s writing and vocal expertise is most definitely brought to the fore.
And so, with Nashville containing elements of blues, country and roots the first track is �Sitia Bay� - and it sure does provide the most perfect of bluesy soundscapes for Lenten�s distinctive vocals. That slow-paced cut is followed by the gentle Motownesque storytelling of �Let�s Start Over� and then the dulcet pedal steel guitar work of Terry Crisp on �Hurting.�
The veritable quasi-pop vibe of �Crazy People� is next and also features a nod to an infamous Dead Or Alive hit single from back in the day! That�s backed by the slow jazz feel of �Pride Is A Thief,� a song that you can just imagine being sung at some smoky cigar smoke-infested gin joint, and the gently acoustic �Butterfly.�
Recorded in, where else but Nashville, Tennessee with award-winning producer Thomm Jutz (Nanci Griffiths, Mary Gauthier) the new album features musicians who have played with everyone from Roy Orbison to Garth Brooks and Dolly Parton. And you can feel that hometown vibe free flowing through the album; especially on �Maybe Tonight.� Complete with the pedal steel guitar of Crisp again it truly encapsulates everything that is great about this album.
Another underground smoky gin jointesque track is next in the form of �Full To The Brim,� which is backed by more of Crisp�s work on the sultry �I Would Fall Down.� This glorious album then comes to a close with the quietness of �Leaving Day,� the French-themed �If You Knew� (which sounds like a Marilyn Monroe/Betty Boop vocal mesh), and then finally the gentle country sway of �I�m Lost.�
On an album that aside from Lenten also features the credible work of Lynn Williams (drums/percussion), Mark Fain (bass), Barry Walsh (piano/organ), Thomm Jutz (guitars), the aforementioned Terry Crisp (pedal steel guitar) and Britt Savage (harmony vocals), Nashville is; simply put, one incredible mother of an album. As Hunter S. Thompson once said: �Buy the ticket, take the ride�!

We have recently seen a number of quotes and editorials in The Herald representing our school's unique "university-college" structure as the setting for a zero-sum match in which undergraduate and graduate students are pitted against one another in a fight for limited and shrinking resources. This is an inaccurate depiction of life at Brown. In the context of debate over the strategic plan, it is an unhelpful one, and based on my own and other graduate students' conversations with undergraduate students, it is not even representative of the community's sentiments. If the question is how we can simultaneously pursue world-class, cutting-edge faculty research and use that research to educate world-class undergraduates in an open-curriculum, liberal arts setting, the answer is Brown graduate students.
This institution's unique and deceptively short mission statement does two things: It commits Brown to service "by discovering, communicating and preserving knowledge and understanding in a spirit of free inquiry, and by educating students to discharge the offices of life with usefulness and reputation," and it recognizes that these goals are best served by its unique "university-college" composition. We are the hyphen in that "university-college" compound. In our research capacity, we work with your professors to push the limits of disciplinary knowledge. In our teaching capacity — predominantly as teaching assistants — we help you to understand some of these more difficult, cutting-edge concepts, bridging generational and educational divides.
I have yet to meet a Brown graduate student not committed to this dual teacher-researcher role. Most of your TAs had offers from multiple graduate programs but decided to come to Brown because of its unique institutional structure. If the Open Curriculum allows undergraduate students to do exciting, interdisciplinary work that will make them leaders on the global stage, the hybrid role inhabited by Brown graduate students allows us both at and beyond Brown to expand the boundaries of human understanding and to preserve and communicate knowledge in danger of being forgotten or drowned out. Most of us who enter the professoriate will not be as fortunate as our mentors at Brown and will have to choose between our students and our research. But I can personally say that my time here, teaching and learning from Brown's remarkable undergrads, has prepared me to strike that balance in a productive way.
Here are some stark facts. Graduate student support takes up just under 10 percent of Brown's overall operating budget. Many of us receive zero support during the summer break, and nearly all international students are barred by the U.S. government from working — so they scrimp and save to fly home, where they can legally pay for their groceries. Those who do receive summer support are paid less than an undergraduate on an Undergraduate Teaching and Research Award. Your Ivy League TAs are highly-intelligent professionals saddled with their own temporarily-deferred student loan debt and could be making much more in the private sector but are living out their late 20s and early 30s on poverty wages or no wages at all for three months of the year.
At the same time, the administration has tried to limit PhD completion time to an unrealistic five years. Ask your faculty adviser how long it took him or her to complete a PhD. President Christina Paxson's strategic plan's current wording suggests graduate programs will be funded according to undefined but strict measures, privileging perceived competitiveness over broad-based need. I know this issue rings home with the undergraduate community. When faculty members identified increased numbers of and increased funding for graduate students as among their top priorities in last spring's Herald poll, this was not only for their own research needs but also for the educational needs of undergraduate students ("Poll: Faculty members name Graduate School as preferred U. priority," Apr. 24). Brown professors will continue to pursue high-end research. But if their graduate students are fewer in number or inadequately funded, and if we are being hurried towards the exits with arbitrary deadlines on our dissertations, do you think you will receive more or less attention from your professors and TAs?
We aren't in this for the money, but National Grid, our landlords and the grocery store are not particularly receptive to our senses of a higher calling. We have recently seen in the pages of The Herald a good deal of justified undergraduate concern about the strategic plan in its current form. Please do not mistake relative silence by graduate students on this matter as a lack of interest or concern regarding the plan. We are stretched incredibly thin, trying to balance our teaching loads with completing our research in a short time frame and applying for jobs in an incredibly competitive market, all with limited funds. We recently released a public statement on the first draft of the strategic plan, as reported by The Herald ("President, provost hear grad students' concerns," Oct. 3). I hope I have helped to underline what everyone at Brown already knows: the extent to which the graduate and undergraduate communities, far from being at odds, hold complementary interests. And with that, I must return to my dissertation.
John Mulligan GS is a PhD candidate in English Literature and secretary of the Graduate Student Council. He believes Brown is a community, not a thunderdome.

Newlywed wife dies in stabbing at church
THE intervention of two clergymen was not enough to save the life of a 36-year-old woman who was stabbed to death in the washroom of a church in Chaguanas on Thursday evening.
Fabiola Ramona Chacon was stabbed multiple times in the chest by a man who had threatened to end her life a week ago.
Relatives said she was in a secret relationship with the 54-year-old man for several months before marrying on Christmas Day last year.
Chacon lived in Belgrade Street, East Dry River, Port of Spain.
A relative of Chacon told the Express, "Fabiola returned to her mother's home in Techier Village, Point Fortin, last week. She said the man pulled a knife and said he will kill her, so she came back home.
"She was involved in these Aids awareness sessions and went to one in Siparia yesterday. The (suspect) was in anger management classes at the church (in Longdenville), but we did not know she was going to meet him there."
Police said Chacon and the man went to the Apostles' Ministries in Amarsingh Street, Longdenville, Chaguanas, at around 5.30 p.m. on Thursday to attend a counselling session with two church leaders.
Investigators said Chacon and the man were being interviewed by the clergymen when they began arguing.

Ahead of his four-day visit to Jammu and Kashmir, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday said the government was ready to discuss the Kashmir issue with all stakeholders in the state.
"I personally want that we talk to everyone. So whoever comes to meet me, I will talk to them," Singh told reporters.
Singh further said that the government has "all the intentions" to solve the Kashmir issue.
Rjanath said he is going there with an "open mind" and is ready to meet anyone who wishes to interact with him as the government wants resolution of all the problems. During his four-day visit beginning tomorrow, Singh will travel to Srinagar, Anantnag, Jammu and Rajouri and meet civil society members, leaders of political and social outfits, business leaders and others, a move seen as a follow-up to the prime minister's Independence Day speech in which he had reached out to the people of the Valley. "I am going with an open mind and I am willing to meet all those who come to meet me. We want a resolution to the problems," Singh told reporters on the sidelines of a function here today.
A home ministry statement said during his visit, the home minister will meet Governor N N Vohra and Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti. He will also review the works related to the Prime Minister's development package of Rs 80,000 crore announced in 2015 and security situation in the state.Singh will interact with the personnel of the Jammu and Kashmir Police, the CRPF and the BSF, who have been in the forefront of the anti-militancy operations in the state, in Anantnag. On Sunday, Singh is expected to attend a comprehensive security review meeting with the chief minister and the top brass of the Army, CRPF and J&K police. Singh is also likely to interact with college students in Srinagar to get their views on the Kashmir situation.
The home minister will address a press conference in Srinagar on Monday before leaving for Jammu. He will also visit a camp of the BSF in Rajouri.
In Jammu, the home minister will meet stakeholders including traders, migrants, Kashmiri pandits and representatives of communities including Gujjars and Bakarwals. In his August 15 speech, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had reached out to strife-hit Kashmiris, asserting that the Kashmir issue cannot be resolved either by bullets or by abuses, and that a solution can only be found by embracing all Kashmiris. The home minister himself had said on August 19 that a solution to the Kashmir problem, besides terrorism, Naxalism, and the northeast insurgency will be found before 2022.
Former prime minister Manmohan Singh, who heads the Congress policy planning group on Kashmir, will also lead a team of party leaders to Jammu and Kashmir next week for discussions on the current situation in the state with party workers and "like-minded" groups. A group of citizens, led by former Union minister Yashwant Sinha, had visited Jammu and Kashmir on August 17-19 and prepared a report which said the sense of "dismay and despondency" had grown among the people and the situation was "much worse" than their previous visits. In September 2016, the home minister had visited the state leading an all-party delegation when he met about 200 members of 30 delegations from various sections of society and listened to their point of view to arrive at a common solution to the Kashmir issue. However, the Kashmiri separatists had rebuffed attempts by five opposition MPs to talk to them.

More Backlash on iTunes and Zune...
Just to follow up on yesterday's posting, Newsweek Magazine has just published an article on how music lovers are becoming "fed up" with competing digital rights management (DRM) schemes for digital players like iPod and Zune.
Read the article here.
And without wanting to re-hash everything I discussed yesterday, let me simply highlight an extraordinarily important point in the article:
As Lawrence Lessig states, DRMs don't expire even after copyright does. This means that the record companies are making it impossible for individuals to claim their property rights over things they've purchased - even after those companies' copyrights have expired. This completely illegitimizes the music industry and its argument that the goal of DRM is copyright enforcement.
"Give consumers a file that will play in any device and consumers will be willing to pay for it". --- Steve Gordon

She was not only knowledgable but also able to help me. It took no longer then 5 minutes to resize my watch and I enjoyed looking around the store while waiting.

The main diamond in my engagement ring came a bit loose and I was in need of a good jeweler to fix it. I was in WPB for work and came across Provident Jeweler on Google. I walked in and Linda Gagnon helped me immediately. She assessed my ring and which prong needed to be fixed and sent it to the back to be worked on. I waited *maybe* 15 minutes before she brought it back out and it was sparkling like new! Not only did they help tighten the prongs, they also cleaned it for me. I began digging into my purse fully ready to pay for the repair and Linda kindly informed me it was on the house!! Great shop! Thanks so much Linda!

While on vacation in west palm I was stung by a man o war jelly fish and I swelled up over night. When I woke up my finger was swollen and I tried everything to get it off. We found Provident Jewelry and rushed over right away. I explained my situation and they were so quick and understanding and got it off safely! Very sweet and kind people! Will come back every visit! GORGEOUS jewelry!! Thanks so much for saving my vacation!!

My now fiancé worked with Jacob on designing my perfect dream ring . He was super helpful & had a lot of knowledge about diamonds & made it easier for John in this 'stressful' process . He helped John find the exact diamond, setting and exact ring he had in his head & wanted to get me! I highly recommend using Jacob!!! I'm super estatic about my ring & highly recommend Provident Jewlery !

Great selection and service. From my first request for further information, Jacob was very responsive. I purchased a couple of items from out of town and Jacob provided me everything I needed to make a decision, and everything he said was accurate. I will be purchasing from Provident Jewelry and Jacob in the future.

Over the years, I have purchased from the West Palm Beach store and the experience has always been wonderful! Store manager Alex S is the consummate professional. And Stephanie H is terrific! It is comforting to be able to shop with full confidence, and in a store that delivers old fashioned customer service!

I had so much home repair and needed very fair market value for many items I have not used in years. I had visited many resale shops but they were consignment only and didn't understand the value of my sterling silver, antiques, jewelry and lalique pieces that I had just sitting around. I saw an ad for Provident Jewelry on tv and they were my best hope. An awesome professional gentleman, Jacob Kodner, who is the director of antique and estate acquitisitions came to my home to make it easy on me and gave me the best prices for everything and wrote me a check on the spot so I didn't have to wait for months for anything to sell. I was so happy and HIGHLY recommend them. My home repairs were more important to me than anything and I could begin work right away with the check they wrote me and having Jacob come to my home was a convenience beyond belief. I will always recommend them. Thank you Jacob and Provident Jewelry.

Trustworthy, Knowledgeable and Convenient. One trip to Provident and I was wowed by the dazzle and selection in the store, but the West Palm Beach location on Clematis has become our go-to place. Private parking a few doors away is convenient & the staff is always welcoming whether it be a purchase, a watch or jewelry repair or even cashing in gold. Not glitzy like the other locations, but one we recommend above all!

Highly reccomended! In April I purchased a Tag Hugher watch from provident jewelry as an anniversary gift. This week I noticed a marking on the face so I brought it in. Zack the repair coordinator was attentive, understanding and urgent about this problem. The watch is being repaired and will be back in no time! Thank you for the magnificent customer service.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Provident Jewelry in West Palm Beach. We brought in some old jewelry and got a really good price for it. We also bought our wedding ring, for him, there as well. All-around a great experience, they were very fair, and very knowledgeable. We would recommend this jeweler.

So glad to have found this store. Zach did a great job with my watch band, and new batteries; everyone so helpful. No need to go to Boca, Delray or Boynton (or NYC) for good service at a reasonable price. Check out what they buy, too.

I purchased a engagement ring for my fiancé from provident and I just want to start by saying my experience was amazing!! Jacob was outstanding with his care and professionalism on finding the PERFECT ring!! I needed the ring in such short notice, I thought there was no way. Jacob helped me pic the stones, band, and size it to have the ring beautifully set in 2 days!! I was blown away!!!! As is my fiancé with the stunning ring she is now displaying!! Thank you Jacob Kodner and Provident Jewlery for the best experience I could have asked for with this special time of my life!!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Jacob Kodner and Provident. I had a very specific engagement ring I was looking for with a unique custom setting. Jacob and Provident were able to find me the perfect stone and help design the setting EXACTLY how I imagined it in my head, and in an extremely fast and professional manner. Provident made the usually stressful task of finding the perfect ring to propose with (or so I have heard it is stressful) an ease, and I couldn't think of anyone else I would work with in the future. I will be letting all my friends know I used Provident as I know I will be referring them to the best in the business.

My fiancee is writing this review from my account, and I will add my comments as well. Jacob was very helpful in finding the style of ring and quality diamond I was looking for. The finished product turned out spectacular. Hopefully the image below will do it justice. In person it looks absolutely AMAZING! I was incredibly shocked at how much this ring sparkles, even in the dark evening light! This ring is stunning and I can't wait to wear it for the rest of my life!

I've got a diamond bracelet that I break all the time. I've taken it to several jewelers in the past, and there's always some kind of hassle when it comes to the repair. Never at Provident...

I am writing this review to praise Provident Jewelry and their staff for their assistance with a recent purchase. I was in a pinch to find a gift for a niece on her baptism in a short time frame and within a certain budget. I contacted Provident and they put in contact with one of their knowledgeable and helpful sales people. Myself and the representative communicated through text message sharing our thoughts about the gift and within a few minutes created a perfect necklace and charm combination within my budget. The associate from Provident contacted the distributor and within 2 business days I had the gift in hand.I highly reccomend Provident to anyone in search of beautiful jewelry and gifts. For someone like myself who is not regularly shopping for such items and rarely can be found in a jewelry store, I found their staff to very friendly and helpful.5 stars!!

After visiting several other jewelry stores, I heard about Jacob Kodner from a family friend. I made the trip to Provident to meet him. He showed me a nice range of options, and I immediately spotted the perfect ring. I bought it on the spot.The quality that I got at Provident far exceeds what other stores offer at the same price. Don't pull the trigger until you visit Provident. I'm not exaggerating. People stop her at restaurants to compliment this ring. This is an easy 5 star rating from me.

Upon walking into the West Palm Beach store I was greeted by multiple employees who asked what I was looking for. After giving them my budget and style ideas the employees consulted with one another to show me the best options that fit my needs.As I wasn't ready to purchase that day, I left, but when I came back they had remembered what I wanted and showed me some new options that had become available.I was able to pick out the diamond and setting that met all my criteria and work with Jacob and Fred to get exactly what my fiance wanted. It was nice to never feel pressured into something different and walk out with what I wanted and a great overall experience!

Being a long time customer of both Jacob Kodner and Provident I had another fantastic experience when purchasing an anniversary present. The ability to have the highest quality at the best price is only one aspect of a great shopping experience. The service which Provident provides coupled with their inventory makes them the premier for buying any type of jewelry. My family greatly appreciates Jacob's overall acumen and industry knowledge and will continue to utilize him for all future purchases.

Provident jewelers is hands down the nicest jewelry store in Palm Beach County. I recently visited provident to purchase a wedding band for my fiancé. I was greeted by very knowledgeable professionals who helped me choose a ring that was absolutely stunning. The overall experience was incredible and I look forward to returning in the near future!

If there were 10 stars, I would select all 10. Jacob was a consummate professional. He approached my engagement ring search like a true consultant. He took into consideration all the criteria I was looking for and helped guide me through the process. When we finally settled on the stone, he took time to make professional recommendations on the proper setting, consulting with his master jeweler. I never once felt pressured or sold on options I didn't want or need. The ring turned out PERFECT and my bride-to-be could not be any happier. Provident Jewelry will have my business now and for all future needs...no questions asked. TEN STARS.

I had the pleasure of working with Lara Pansolli from Provident Jewerly on many occasion but recently, I had a successful event where Provident Jewerly participated as a donor for the merger of my new company Lovelock Music Group and SandyJames Catering. They donated a beautiful gift basket to our cause exceeding our $1000. They were very eager, prompt and willing to engage in what our overall goal was for our event. Provident Jewerly, by far supports their local community and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

I recently had such a terrific experience with Provident Jewelers that I had to share! I was raising money for Dreyfoos School of the Arts through an online auction and I asked for a donation. They were the most gracious and generous of any business that I have ever asked. They told me that they love to give back to the community. I was in the jewelry business for 17 years and when I went to the store I couldn't believe how great the prices were. Very reasonable. They buy and sell and have jewelry in every price range. I will definitely be back to make my future purchases there thanks to Fred and Lara!

The many benefits of strong caoach
Appealing to a personal coach offers the enormous advantage of not being delivered to yourself.
Whether in the weight room, group lessons or with friends, we will give you some tips for doing exercises or progress, but you will never have a sports professional at your disposal throughout your sessions. The home sports coach is both at your side during your training, but is also available at any time until you reach your goals. After a few weeks of collaboration, your personal trainer gradually becomes a confidant who, over the days, gets to know you in order to offer you the best solutions to succeed. It's there to motivate you in difficult times so that you do not give up, and also gives you advice throughout your collaboration to acquire better habits for lasting results.
Why choose your coach at Personal Sport Trainer?
Finding a good home sports coach is not so easy! There are indeed many coaches who claim to be a personal trainer without meeting the requirements to practice the profession.
At Personal Sport Trainer, each coach is rigorously selected before joining the team. To be part of the network, the coach must prove his professional status and thus provide the company with copies of his registration certificate in the Directory of Companies and Institutions, his diplomas, his professional card, and his professional liability insurance.
Moreover, in order to guarantee a quality service, all the sports coaches of our network benefit from at least 2 years of experience, and most of them have an SAP declaration issued by the state,

I have a membership site that I believe I can make into a Dating Service using BuddyPress with Extended Profiles and BP Search plugin.
What I am wondering is what would be a good plugin(s) for the layout that would feature several profiles – i.e. members within a search area, newest members, etc.
Any ideas?

A processor vulnerability that affects hundreds of millions of computers has alarmed users all around the world. "Meltdown" and "Spectre" are the names of the two currently known attacks that exploit this security breach. Using one of these attacks, a process can, under certain circumstances, access data without having permission.
Since the vulnerability is in the processor, i.e., in the innermost core of a computer, all programs running on this hardware are affected – including the operating system. In response to Meltdown and Spectre, Microsoft released a security update for Windows on January 3, 2018, which, while not remediating the cause, made it significantly more difficult to exploit the security breach.
Because cryptovision products encrypt data, in many cases they provide significant protection against Meltdown and Spectre. This is because encrypted data is virtually worthless for a party not having the key.
It is important to note that a process being able to access prohibited data can also access cryptographic keys. However cryptovision software is well protected against this threat:
- Unlike, for example, web browsers, virtual machines, or operating systems, cryptovision software does not execute code from outside sources. Invoking prepared code, which is necessary for Meltdown and Spectre, is therefore not possible with cryptovision products.
- Keys that are stored on a smart card (as recommended by cryptovision) are generally unreachable for the processor, even if it has security weaknesses. Anyone using smart cards (or other external key storage, such as security tokens or an HSM) has nothing to fear.

We've had quite the week, but it was no where near as difficult as others in our state had.
It started last Monday with something called a derecho. I had to look it up, but apparently it means a really bad storm with exceptionally bad winds - pretty much a tornado's first cousin. That storm traveled in a straight path down the highway that is behind our house. We experienced downed trees and power outages, but our power company was pretty fast to respond. Amazingly our power was only out for about 8 hours, but for others it was a couple of days.
Then just as things were starting to get back to a normal, sweltering summer, two more storms hit. Again they were called derechos, but this time they brought their cousin, the tornado. By Sunday morning, our power company had said this was the worst non-hurricane event our state had ever seen with 1 million people without power. Our governor declared a state of emergency, and the heat began to soar over 100 degrees.
God's hand must have been covering my house because through it all we never lost power. The worst event for my state short of a hurricane - 1 million without power - and we who lose power if a squirrel sneezes - were fine. The weather guys called it a derecho again, but I called it a miracle.
What all this highlighted for me was the importance of a family disaster plan. I've addressed this several times in the past, usually right after a disaster hits. And here I go again, but this time I am determined to get our plan worked out BEFORE the next disaster.
How about you and your family? What are your plans in the event a disaster - wildfires, hurricanes, tornados, floods, derechos - hits and you must leave your home? Below are some links and a video I found to help me refine my plan. Maybe you will find them useful also.

If you happened to have seen the seventh season of Rupauls Drag Race you'll be quite aware that Violet Chachki does not possess a brilliant vocal range, but as the winner she needs something to sell to rake in the coin.
Chachki's first foray into the music world, she hit the Billboard charts in the United States, peaking at number 16 on the Heatseekers Albums chart, number 48 on the Independent Albums, and number 11 on the Dance/Electronic Albums Chart. Quite the effort. The record gave numerous little fans their life, and was critically and commercially praised. She marketed herself as a leather-bound, kinky sex doll of perfection and through her dynamite lyrics, managed to express that feeling perfectly.
Track-By-Track Review:
Like any true marketing genius, the day after her crowning Chachki released her first ever single 'Bettie' with an accompanying video. The spoken-word track was heavy with the EDM, and bass, and filled Chachki's aesthetic of dark, fetish pin-up girl style. A true banger, it has us feeling some type of way about ourself with the perfect beat to strip to. A strong jumping off point for the album. The video: flawless.
Continuing her dark, sensual appeal 'Harlequin' keeps up the crazy sonics as the second track enjoying more spoken word atop a thumping beat. It is a great concept within itself that has dope instrumentals sure to make you dance. We share in Chachki's sense of fun with a fierce club track this is dynamic, and catchy.
La Petite Mort
A change of pace, this slower jam unleashes entirely on the sex appeal with Chachki moaning commands, cut with an overlay of French musings, and orgasmic groaning. The soft EDM backing rhythm sounds like the end of the night at a 90's gay bar, and is lay down in such a way that accentuates the record.
Her second single, 'Vanguard' is a mid-tempo song that shows off Chachki's musical versatility. Changing between spoken-word, and "singing" the lyrics fall flat in comparison to her previous efforts. Along with the less inspiring production, this option feels more safe, and muted than her usual pace but is a catchy listen nonetheless.
Show Off
Moving back toward the spoke-word, 'Show Off' is the perfect ending for this EP as Chachki presents her best. If there's one thing she is good at its showing off. The lyrics are well-crafted, the production is refreshing and cool, and the song is beautiful and naughty. The more singer-y moments here work only to back her sexually-driven musicality in a way more befitting to her style.

Zoe Charlton: I live on Paul Russel Road
@ Terrain Exhibitions
704 HIghland Ave. Oak Park, IL
Opening Sunday, November 13th, from 2PM - 5PM
On view through Friday, December 11th
I Live on Paul Russell Road
Over three generations of Zoë Charlton's family lived at 1571 Paul Russell Road on 9 acres of land. The pale blue, wooden house and surrounding acreage became a symbol of home, a meetinghouse, and a vacation spot for a constant stream of relatives and family friends. In the early '40s, home ownership was a rare occurrence for Black families. The property is no longer in the family, but is now the site of a gated suburban subdivision. In I Live on Paul Russell Road, Charlton recreates the homestead from memory turned on its roof, exposing its contents of ranch houses and bungalows, symbolizing the shift in property ownership from a single family to a housing estate.
Zoë Charlton creates drawings that explore the ironies of contemporary social and cultural stereotypes. She depicts her subject's relationship with their world by combining images of culturally loaded objects and landscapes with undressed bodies. She received her MFA degree from the University of Texas at Austin Her work has been included in national and international exhibitions including the Harvey B. Gantt Center, Charlotte, NC, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, AR; Studio Museum of Harlem NYC, NY; Contemporary Art Museum, Houston, TX; the Zacheta National Gallery of Art, Warsaw, Poland and Haas & Fischer Gallery, Zurich, Switzerland. She is a recipient of a Pollock-Krasner grant. Charlton is an Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Art at American University in Washington, DC.

Another Debate Needed
On the one hand, according to Trutherbot, processed food is supposed to be bad because mold won't eat it.
On the other hand, according to Trutherbot, hemp is supposed to be good because insects won't eat it.
Since insects are more closely related to humans than mold is, wouldn't that mean people who should avoid processed food should avoid hemp milk, etc.?
On the other hand, maybe Trutherbot isn't human but is instead a slime mold. That would explain so much…

Here we see that the only ground for divorce between Christians sanctioned by Jesus is fornication. Fornication refers to any kind of sexual immorality. It includes adultery, incest, homosexuality, prostitution, etc. The only other ground for divorce sanctioned in scripture is desertion by an unbelieving spouse (CP 1Cor 7:12-15). This did not arise as a ground for divorce during Jesus' ministry, so He did not have to address it. It was left to Paul to do so because it only became evident as the church expanded. These are the only two grounds for divorce sanctioned in scripture, and it is only on these two grounds that the right to divorce is also a right to remarry. Whoever divorces and remarries for any other reason causes everyone involved in the divorce and subsequent remarriage to commit the sin of adultery. Everyone is affected - the one who initiates the divorce, the one divorced, and the ones they remarry (CP Mt 5:31-32; 19:9; Mk 10:10-12; Lu 16:18). Here we see the consequences of divorce and remarriage for reasons other than what is permitted in scripture. Divorce and remarriage for any reason other than fornication or desertion by an unbelieving spouse is sin. That may seem harsh to some, but it is what the Bible teaches. It is not the unpardonable sin though - it can be forgiven, and God will forgive it, if it is confessed and repented of (CP 1Jn 1:9).
That is why God commands Christians who divorce for other reasons to remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to their spouses (CP 1Cor 7:10-11). This is a directive to married Christians, and while Paul addresses it from the wife's perspective, the principle applies to both husbands and wives. The only other ground permitted in scripture for remarriage by Christians is the death of a marriage partner. The surviving partner is then free to remarry (CP Ro 7:2-3; 1Cor 7:8-9, 39; 1Ti 5:14). In all marriages however - not only when a marriage partner dies - Christians must marry other Christians. They cannot marry an unbeliever (CP 2Cor 6:14-16). The reason there has to be restrictions on marriage, divorce, and remarriage in God's order, is because in the first instance divorce and remarriage were not options God considered in His eternal purpose for marriage. God intended marriage to be a permanent, monogamous relationship between a husband and a wife. There was no provision for divorce and remarriage whatever (CP Gen 2:18, 21-25; Mal 2:13-16; Mt 19:3-8; Mk 10:29). God did not institute divorce and remarriage - man did. God only tolerated it because Moses permitted it, but Moses only permitted it because of the people's hardness of heart, and that is why Jesus would only sanction divorce for fornication, and not for any other reason. Divorce and remarriage was never mentioned in scripture until De 24 where it is presented as a fait accompli -something already established (CP De 24:1-4). None of this is teaching that divorced Christians who have entered into new marriages have to divorce their present spouse and remarry the one they previously divorced, even though the previous divorce may not have conformed to God's eternal purpose. Marriage is in God's perfect order and He will bless the present marriage.

Microsoft's New Opportunity: What Happens When the Leadership Baton is Passed On?
Steve Ballmer, Bill Gates' successor, is stepping down after thirteen years as CEO of Microsoft. His strategy during his time as chairman was to move Microsoft to a "services and hardware" company, when its specialty had always been software. Is Ballmer's decision to step down an admission that shareholders rejected this decision? What should the next leader of Microsoft do? Looking at a few examples of how other companies have fared when shifting leadership can offer some enlightening information.
Microsoft has long been compared to IBM because the two companies have similar holds within the computer industry. Given Lou Gerstner's stellar ability to transform a failing IBM in the early 1990s, the comparison is worth it – and can foreshadow what can be expected from the next leader at Microsoft. When Gerstner took over as CEO in 1993, he took the reins of an old and prestigious institution with a rich history. Microsoft is equally prestigious and rich with history, so leadership teams at Microsoft should pay attention to Gerstner's strategy. The company's incoming leader will need to do what Lou Gerstner did – and what Steve Ballmer had been missing.
Lou Gerstner honored the values and skills that IBM already had and that gave them a distinct competitive advantage. He then took those values and skills and reapplied them to a changing market place – a marketplace that wasn't so interested in PCs anymore. Then, like now, the fortunes in the PC market were flagging. The cash cow for IBM at the time was the mainframe hardware business. To support this business, IBM developed distinctive capabilities to service large companies, companies who were well-established customers using IBM's hardware. IBM's turnaround was based on applying those skills to the same market but rebranding them as a consulting service. Thus, Gerstner helped the computer company build on its existing competitive advantage and cater to long-standing customers.
The reason Microsoft edged out IBM in the computer market has become a part of management folklore. But certain ideas are often less explored. For instance, IBM's competitive advantage at the time (as discussed above) was not conducive to the phase of the computer market occurring at that time. Today, Microsoft's capabilities in software are not suited to the reduced PC market. That's more Apple's domain. The Windows phone, while doing a little better than Blackberry, says more about Blackberry's failures than it does Microsoft's advantage in the smart phone market. That's Apple's domain, too, along with a few others.
New leader, New Strategy
Microsoft's strategy, as the outgoing Ballmer defined it, was to move the corporation in the direction of "devices and services." This company strategy was surely wrong-headed. Microsoft, as its name implies, has always been a software company – never a device company. It is unlikely that it could develop the capabilities in design and manufacturing to compete in a marketplace already inundated with devices from well-established companies like Apple or Android.
The incoming Microsoft CEO will need to honor the value, skills and the competitive advantage of the business. Regardless of its current misguided strategy, the company has done a lot of things right. Microsoft's new leader will need to emulate Lou Gerstner, and not Ron Johnson, whose recent attempt to reinvent the dowdy J.C. Penney into something more akin to Apple fell flat. Johnson ignored the value and competitive advantage offered by J.C. Penney and forced in ideas of a "premium" line that ultimately failed to perform. After all, J.C. Penney and Apple customers visit their respective stores for very different reasons.
According to The Economist, Microsoft's revenues comes from five divisions. PC's account for 25 percent, servers and tools for 25 percent, online services garner 4 percent, business takes 30 percent, and entertainment ad devices, including the Xbox games console, gets 14 percent. It's easy to see that while the PC business is declining, their future lies in extending its server tools and business divisions by capitalizing on Microsoft's already formidable competitive advantage. For both Microsoft and IBM, switching costs in these industries are huge.
Microsoft is hardly on its last leg, and the situation isn't as extreme as IBM's, who in 1993 had moved right to the edge of bankruptcy (Microsoft has $77 billion in cash). But the space for new leadership could be a blessing and a curse. Even the deepest pockets will only allow for a certain number of silly forays into markets in which they have no advantage.

We've just completed week 20 of Tapestry of Grace Year 2, a study of Jamestown. Oh, how good this is to revisit a topic and see how much the twins remember!
Our first unit study as homeschoolers back in 2010 was a study of this first permanent American settlement. We then went chronologically through American History, but, around the point of World War 1, I discovered Tapestry of Grace and decided to change course and start a new plan with Ancient Times.
I now know first hand how much of a joy this four-year classical education cycle of history can be in our homeschool!
In the spirit of a weekly wrap up, here's what we did this week:
* Watched Pocahontas as a family (just like we did back in 2010)
* Browsed educational materials and videos at historyisfun.org
* Completed the TOG geography assignments about North America and began our memory work of the 13 colonies (much easier this go around, but review is still needed)
* Read books about Jamestown, King James I and Galileo
* Completed more lessons for All About Spelling (affiliate link)
* Loads of yard work!
That was our only "normal" school work this week, as we focused most if the schooling hours on their end if year test. Usually I don't get around to their annual standardized test until July, so I'm feeling pretty on top of things right now!
Okay, I was feeling accomplished... Until I just looked over at the laundry pile. Back to work I go!

Earlier this week, former NFL athlete Michael Vick talked out the side of his neck when he made an insensitive comment regarding Colin Kaepernick and what the former San Francisco 49ers player needs to do to get the attention of potential scouts. The comment happened while Vick was doing a guest appearance on FSI's show Speak For Yourself. The 37-year-old suggested that Kaepernick should cut his afro, in hopes of conforming more to societal prim and polished standards.
The advice was unsolicited and controversial for its implications, especially coming from a man who had it all in the league but lost it due to nefarious misconduct – have we all forgotten his history with illegal dog fighting?
Shortly after, 29-year-old Kaepernick issued a cut and dry response to Vick via an Instagram post where he defined Stockholm Syndrome:
After Kaepernick's response and some backlash, Vick seemingly decided to call in to The Dan Patrick Show on Thursday (July 20) to give his previous statement a politically correct edit.
"At the end of the day, what I said, I should have never said," Vick stated. "I think it was taken out of context in regards to what I was trying to convey, but I only want to help Kaepernick and I'm not a general manager, I'm not the guy that makes the decisions on getting him signed and I'm truly sorry for what I said. I think I should have used a better choice of words."
Kaepernick has been a free agent since March after not re-signing with the San Francisco 49ers. This occurred after a somewhat controversial season with the team after Kaepernick took his knee for several games during the National Anthem and garnered negative attention to the team after refusing to just be an athlete that plays and not make any statements, political or otherwise.
Kaepernick has since shifted his focus to more political and social issues and has been spending his time away from the field in various charitable endeavors.
