In the 1970's, a London boutique owner named Susie Faux, coined the term Capsule Wardrobe. She thought that a few essential pieces (skirts, pants, and coats) that would not go out of style, could be supplemented with seasonal pieces. It is a wonderful idea!!! But, is a capsule wardrobe for YOU?Some of the essential items of a capsule wardrobe are:
A little black dress. Every woman should own one. Buy one that can be worn for work or evening.
A day-dress. Something very casual. Perfect for a lunch date or attending church.
Three plain t-shirts. Buy t-shirts made of quality material, and buy all three in different colors of different shades.
A dress top.
A fitted white shirt. An item that works equally for work, or a casual weekend.
A neutral cardigan. Navy, off-white, or camel, colors that can work with almost anything.
A classic black blazer.
A trench coat/rain coat. This is a classic piece, one that will never go out of style. It can be worn in almost any season.
A skirt.
A pair of sweat pants/yoga pants. The perfect thing to wear when you're exercising or lounging.
A pair of jeans. If you are going to have only a pair or two of jeans, pick a dark pair free of embellishments or rips. (trendy)
A pair of dress pants. Choose a pair that can be worn for work or for an evening.
A pair of dress shoes.
A pair of flats.
A pair of tennis shoesIf you decide to try a capsule wardrobe, I would like to hear about your experience. There is no way that I would even attempt to try. It never fails that every time I give away clothing, I end up wanting to wear that one item. Plus, I have already bought every thing in my closet, and it seems wasteful to get rid of clothing, even if I give it to a good cause. I would probably just end up going out and eventually buying more. So in an attempt to keep my closet organized, I have everything color-coordinated. Could it be pared down? In the word of Sarah Palin, "You betcha". It is frigid cold outside! I was spoiled by our warm winter, and am really feeling the chill. It was 11 degrees outside this morning, and they are calling for 3 to 8 inches of snow over the next few days. I felt like layering to stay warm. I have on a silky turtleneck and an off-white sweater, both from Old Navy. I know the sweater was purchased last year and I think I bought the turtleneck this year, but I can't be sure. Here is a similar sweater, and here is a similar turtleneck. The scarf is one that I bought from Target, and as I have said before, I love buying scarves there. They have a fantastic selection. I decided to wear the scarf, instead of a necklace, for added warmth around my neck.The dark gray leggings are another Old Navy purchase, but my mind is blank as to when I bought them. When it is really cold I like to wear thick, or flannel lined, leggings since they are right up against the skin. I don't want any cold air going up my legs. I am taking every opportunity to wear my Hunter boots, so you may see them often,I hope you noticed my gorgeous plaid bat-wing cape. It is reversible from the large check, to the small check. Can you believe this was my grandmothers, the one that is 102? I told you she was a fashionista! When I was in Tennessee, my mother asked me if this was something I might like, since it was my grandmothers. I of course grabbed it quickly before she changed her mind. This is so on fleek.I just wanted to show you our skiff of snow we had this morning. Does any one else say skiff?

Us men are a competitive breed in all walks of life, however, that isn't necessarily a negative trait. Competitiveness drives us to improve, work harder, and push ourselves to our limits, whether in sport, work, or even lifestyle. On the other hand, one-upmanship can lead to needless splashing of cash on ostentatious purchases – fun, yet expensive.
Man caves are rapidly becoming an ideal way for men to express themselves. We can showcase our interests, our eye for interior design and detail, and DIY expertise. It's not just a dwelling for respite, it's an extension of personality, and, sure, a chance to show off.
You might be looking for the finishing touches for your cave, or the things that will really set it apart. The pièce de résistance should have been established, but adding the nuances can be a gradual process. To help you out we've rounded up some under $20 gadgets for your man cave, which add a particular je ne sais quoi.
Gerber GDC Money Clip
Not strictly for the man cave, but if you're feeling the need to assert your manliness, this is a good starting point. Slim wallets are fastly becoming the norm as the necessary essentials we carry are stripped thanks to technology. The Gerber GDC money clip offers you this, with a sleek, stylish design, with the addition of an extra utility.
Integrated with a discreet stainless steel blade, this is the ultimate manly utility wallet. Made from robust, rustproof materials, you'll be able to call on your inner survivalist when most required. The finger grip and thumb rest make the blade easy to control, and it will definitely impress your pals.
Additionally, the money clip will hold your cards, plus a substantial stash of dollar bills. If your night takes a more unexpected route, you'll be ready for anything with this versatile wallet.
Check out a full review from idkmen.com here.
Monochromatic Deck of Cards
When it's eventually your turn to host poker night, how are you going to make a lasting impression? Besides from providing copious amounts of beer and chips, you can up the style ante with a deck of luxurious monochromatic cards.
Combine the sophistication of James Bond and fun of Las Vegas with a unique, stunning deck, certain to impress. You'll definitely bluff a few winnings hands while the rest of the crowd are admiring your deck.
Bottle Cap Gun
Without a doubt, you've got the coolest bar set up, an awesome fridge, and the best recliner money can buy. However, if you're not in possession of a bottle opener that transforms bottle caps into ammo, you need an upgrade.
This gadget loads itself with a bottle cap when you open a fresh one, leaving you armed and dangerous. It's ideal for annoying your friends, or waking them up if they fall asleep a little too early, before the night is over.
Pair the bottle cap gun with a Magnetic Bottle Cap Bullseye Board, making it the ultimate drinking game.
Emergency LED Bulbs
Lack of light during a power outage can be extremely dangerous, especially in unfamiliar surroundings, or you've had one too many drinks. These emergency LED bulbs can be a genuine lifesafer during a power cut.
While other smart appliances communicate with apps to allow you to control them, or personalize with coloured light. Instead, these bulbs have internal batteries that will charge up using your mains supply during normal use. Fully charged, they will offer up to five hours of light even during electrical problems, and can even be switched as normal.
Wall Clock With Secret Compartment
Occasionally the allure of your man cave will be too much to resist, and curiosity will get the better of uninvited guests. When this happens, there might be certain paraphernalia that you'd prefer to remain undiscovered.
A personal safe can be expensive, not to mention difficult to install. This wall clock with an integrated secret compartment can be an affordable alternative when you want to keep some items out of sight. It's discreet, inconspicuous, and easy to gain access to when you're too drunk to input complicated codes.

Living a boy's adventure tale
Any Mark Ronson fans out there? Well, YouTube hears your pleas, and they have answered with news of a Mark Ronson documentary, to be aired (for free!) on YouTube on October 12. Mark (ha!) your calendars and set aside a couple of hours for viewing! Extra special for DD fans, Simon Le Bon was interviewed for the documentary along with a plethora of other celebrities and music artists, such as Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper, and Miley Cyrus. Other friends and family are also featured including Boy George, Charlotte Ronson, Josh Home, Lykke Li, and even Sean Lennon, among many others.
Perhaps worthy of note to some, I see that this film was made as a Livewire/Eagle Rock Films production, which is the same production company that did A Diamond in the Mind. Here's the trailer below!
Now, I wouldn't be me…or Daily Duranie for that matter…if I didn't note that despite my watching the trailer twice, I didn't see or hear Simon. (forgive me if I'm wrong!) He might have been in there and I missed it, but I don't think so. There were a lot of different voices in the audio overlay, but you'd think I'd be able to pick Simon out, right?? I also didn't see footage of Mark with the band, which on one hand didn't surprise me, but on the other – I couldn't help but be the tiniest bit sad. Yeah, I'm picky and want it all. Am I not a Duran Duran fan?? <insert wink here!>
There was, however, one quick flash of Mark with the platinum blonde hair he sported during the production of All You Need is Now, so I'm obviously hoping for a bit more during the film. I guess we'll see, because I've got it on my calendar for viewing this weekend! Regardless, I think it will be very insightful, inspiring, and worthy of a watch or two!
I Dream Myself Alive
I have one piece of non-Duran news to share. A-ha is coming to the US for just two shows in 2020, on September 25 and 26! Both shows happen to be at the Wiltern theatre in Los Angeles, and they will be playing their album, Hunting High And Low in its entirety. The shows go on sale Friday at 10am.
This is worthy news because I know that there must be many DD fans who, like me, fell in love with A-ha at the very first moment they heard "Take on Me", or saw the iconic video (which remains one of my most favorite). As I understand it, next year will be their 40th anniversary as well, and they're celebrating by playing their breakthrough album live and even coming to the states to do it! It is one of my very favorite albums of the 80s, and I've never seen A-ha live.
It's funny because today on Feedback, the music talk show that fellow Duran Duran fan Lori Majewski co-hosts alongside Nik Carter on SiriusXM channel 106, the subject of albums you'd most want to hear played live came up. Hunting High and Low is on that list for me, along with several others, of course!
Train of Thought
As a quick aside – Feedback is a great show. If you haven't heard it, I strongly recommend it! I can appreciate the different points of view, and Lori does a great job of keeping Nik's ego in check (as she well should!). It is tough being a female in that world, which is a subject that is near and dear to what Amanda and I have been researching and working on for the past few months. It is alarming to hear that even in 2019, women seem to be far and few in between when it comes to discussions on music. I would swear that the only people that listen or call in seem to be male. Yes, I actually do think that's a bad thing, for a multitude of reasons (another blog, another day). I listen every day, but I'm on the west coast. Calling in doesn't work for me, as I hear the show about three hours after the fact. That said, I'm an avid tweeter, even though I'm tweeting after they've already gone off the air and I'm listening to a replay! Hoping some of my Duranie friends remember to let them know they're listening.
Back to A-ha…
Love is Reason
The news of their 2020 tour is also worthy of mention because of the timing. What I mean is that these shows go on sale this Friday – October 11th. They'll likely sell out completely given that they're the only US dates and the Wiltern isn't a huge venue. Yet, the shows are nearly an entire year away. I can remember when we used to buy shows that were just weeks away, and then it grew to be where we'd have to pony up for tickets three months out. Even then, I never minded. Lately, I've seen pre-sales announced closer to six months out from show dates, and now? This is nearly 12 months away. An entire year.
Maybe I'm alone in this, but I think it is bonkers to plan that far in advance. Essentially we're giving our money to someone else who can essentially earn interest for nearly twelve months before we even see the concert. While there may not be much I can do to stop this ball from continuing to roll downhill, I can say that it makes me think twice before buying tickets. In the case of my very frugal and pragmatic husband, it stops him dead in his tracks, including this time. There's no good sense of giving someone your money to sit on for that length of time, and in his head – if that's what it takes to go to shows, then he guesses it's time to stop giving money to big acts like this and just go to see local bands who haven't quite made it yet.
Here I stand
Will I die if I don't see A-ha before they end their career (could have sworn they announced their retirement once….)? No, probably not. I'd love to see them, but I've made peace with knowing that much of what I want isn't what I necessarily need. A-ha is in the "wish" column, rather than the "must" column, right next to Duran Duran. All of that said, these bands, promoters and/or venues could make it a little easier if they didn't demand our money so far out in advance. Twelve months seems ridiculous, don't you think? Maybe I'm just old.
Hey, you kids, get off my lawn!

For all those residents who wanted a new CGI film including myself, the new CGI film is already in the works. It has seen a complete reboot and we might see a survival story. There are many well known directors, producers & Anime creators working on the project. Looking forward to hearing everybody's opinions on this film.
"The only thing that can defeat power is more power. That is the one constant in this universe. However, there is no point in power if it consumes itself. I will enlist the help of an old friend against our common foe; I will use one pawn to eliminate the other, and emerge with the spoils for myself... "

I have seen Takashi Shimizu Ju-On movies and I enjoyed those, more than the Western remakes. I haven't heard of the director of writer or seen any of their work though so I cannot comment on them. The fact that they have hired Takashi and he has a successful background in horror is a positive note for survival horror. Fingers crossed this is going to be more of an attempt at a horror movie than an action one but horror in CGI is kind of a new deal to me, I cant recall ever seeing a CGI movie that is actually scary or even an attempt at being scary.
I absolutley love the fact that they are calling this a complete reboot because it makes me think are they actually going to make RE1 in CGI format. However the fact that it involves Leon contradicts that so I guess not. However a movie based in a mansion set prior to Code Veronica could work. We can finally fill in some gaps for Rebecca as well as get Leon and Chris's first introduction. Hopefully this time they get it right and it turns out to be more than a stare off gimick 2 minute scene that has no significance. I think this movie could be fantastic but I felt the same way about Degen and Damanation and those movies where missed oppourtunitys that focused on all the wrong things. Anyway fingers crossed and in the same way I feel about Remake 2 I guess I will make my mind up when I see some footage.

From my buddy plant-42:
The full article doesn't really have much else to say asides from talking about the company credentials and who'll be on the team, but it is confirmed that Hiroyuki Kobayashi is still a part of the project as the lead supervisor, meaning these are likely to be canon entries to the series.
What is interesting is the very specific use of reboot/リブート… Whether this means they're negating some things and reworking some canon, or if this is the full kick off for a new version of the franchise – something that has been talked about for some time since the release of Biohazard 5 in 2009 – is yet to be clearly determined.
Either way, I suspect with the advent of the 20th anniversary next year we'll be seeing more news on this, and perhaps some clarity as to what they truly mean by reboot.

Great news, again another promising instalment in the series, and of course best of all, the fans can look forward to a Resident Evil film not sourced from the Paul Anderson nepotism production line of puerile garbage that has so undermined the quality & integrity of the Resident Evil name. Really looking forward to this non-Paul Anderson official canon entry into the series.

You can't use words like puerile, garbage and Paul Anderson in the same sentence. What has puerile and garbage ever done to you?
If this movie turns out to be a reboot and we get to revisit the games from scratch I would love for them to make a movie about Bravo Team. Start out in the RPD spend a good 20 minutes or so there and then helicopter journey, helicopter crash, wandering around in the woods, arrival at the mansion and so on right up until moments prior to Alpha teams arrival. Then the sequel could be for the RPD police including Marvin Branagh and show us their sequence of events. Then for RE3 they could show us the U.B.C.S. and so on and so on. These are the movies I would love to see! More unrelated outbreaks that have zero significance or bearing to the overall canon its getting old and really hard to get invested or give a shit about things that are irrelevant.

I wonder when we will hear more about this film. Hopefully it's not a long news drought for this one like there was for Damnation.
Remember when they released the teaser trailer for that in 2010 and we had gotten zero information (to the point that many thought they cancelled work on the film) on it until 2012, like a 2 months before its release).
IDK, I just hope we at least get a name (that doesn't start with the letter D BTW), a synopsis, and possibly a teaser trailer this year. It would suck it if we didn't hear or see anything else about this film until it's close to its release in 2017 (which for all we know could be late 2017).
BTW, what do people think, or at least hope this movie will be about?

Looking forward to it. The artwork of the new mansion looks fantastic.

The Wiki page is currently accurate but I dont know how long it will stay that way. This is about everything there is too know so far.
I hope when they are saying reboot that they just mean they are dropping the storys they had with Damnation and Degeneration and just not going to mention them or make the film in that style. All I want is different characters basically anyone other than Leon and Ada. But they have to have been in a previous RE title. Just give them a small mission if they are B.S.A.A. or if they have non military like roles then just drop them into a situation they are unprepared for. Send them into a mansion which they become trapped in and have to work their way out through a labyrinth of traps and B.O.W.S's. Is that cliche for Resident Evil? Sure. Is that cliche for a Resident Evil movie? Absolutley not!

Too late on the Leon front. I mean did they really have to have him in this one too? Chris and Rebecca are more than enough in terms of returning characters for this new film. Oh well, maybe they'll have him do something notable and worthwhile this time.
When it comes to the whole "reboot" thing, I myself just figured they meant it in the sense that they got a brand new crew and animation crew for this one, nothing story related really.
Regarding this movie's storyline, I honestly don't know what I want to see from this film just yet.
Posts: 792
Maybe or maybe they will just have him stand in the background like a cardboard cut out cause he is pretty good at that.
Yeah I hope you are right about the reboot thing. Storywise I just want something that relates to a previous game to establish that game further or set something up for the future. We don't need another movie where it has very little influence on the games. Since this movie seem's to be coming out solo to Capcom's game projects they have alot more freedom about when they want to base it but I still want it to be relevant. Degen came out with RE5 and Damnation with 6 and they had very little to do with those games.

Your latter point is something I dislike about the previous two CGI films. Outside of being mediocre, even worse, they just don't feel all that necessary, especially Damnation. At least Degeneration established Terrasave, a group that is relevant in Revelations 2 and Heavenly Island. While a weak connection, there's a brief Tricell appearance as well. Damnation on the other hand has so far brought nothing new to the table so far. The events from this movie surely didn't affect RE6 in anyway. The only mention to it was from a radio broadcast in Revelations 2, something so miniscule that it should barely count IMO.
I just really disliked Damnation as a film. It was definitely not worth the wait.
Posts: 792
Yeah I agree while they are still better than those other movies I still thought they would be alot better. It seemed like Capcom forgot who they are making these movies for. They are for the fans not people who know nothing of Resident Evil. They should be adding tons of information and relevant issues and easter eggs for us rather than just a side story kind of deal.

It was also mentioned in the files of RE6 explaining how ada is no longer wanted. Also we have yet to see what will come of this

Can you tell me the name of the file in which that information can be found.
That video you posted, I personally didn't see the importance of it besides it educating us (the viewers) more on the Las Plagas. IDK, I don't see it adding much in terms of future stories right now IMO. [Slightly off topic,but wow was the voice acting in that video obnoxious].
I will say that the one thing Damnation does that I do hope that we see again and that's showing the BOWs actually being controlled by regular humans to act as the weapons that they are. That still doesn't make me like the movie overall though.

I really wish the main character for this was Jill
...She's like a part of me I can't let go, lets just leave it at that...
Posts: 792
I am just happy that other characters are featuring other than just Leon. I hope Leon's part is minor and Chris and Rebecca play a much bigger role. Leon doesnt need three CGI movies for god's sake its too much. Give someone else a chance and its not like Degeneration or Damnation did much for his character. The only praise for those movies are moments in spite of Leon being in it. Like in Damnation the Tyrant Vs Licker scenes or in Degeneration the G Curtis scenes.

Title: The Passages of Herman Melville
Author: Jay Parini
Publisher: Canongate Books
Genre: Literary Fiction
Pages: 454
Source: Publisher
Rating: 5/5
If you haven't read Moby-Dick ever in your life, then I suggest you read it at least once before you die. It is absolutely one of those books you must read. A slow read yes but something that you must experience for yourself. Moby-Dick is a vast read and full of adventure, pathos and life. The reason I mention it now is I have finished reading a wonderful book about Herman Melville (the author of Moby-Dick) and his life before he even wrote the classic.
"The Passages of Herman Melville" by Jay Parini is one of those literature historical fiction books that I would not have wanted to give a miss and thankfully did not. The year is 1841 and Herman Melville hasn't written his masterpiece yet. He nonetheless sets out on a voyage aboard a whaling ship and what occurs on one trip will give him enough material to write his new book.
What Melville leaves out in the book are the darker incidents that took place while he was on ship and in port towns such as Calabooza Beretanee, one of the most idyllic prisons known to literature. The book also alternates between the chapters of Herman and his wife Lizzie – two different perspectives which make for a fantastic reading. I like how historical fiction can be made to seem real just by the writing style and strong research, which clearly has gone into this book.
There is depiction of Herman Melville being this egotistical character and quite believable too. He was like that to a very large extent and on the other hand there is Lizzie, who endures because that is what women did way back then. Lizzie comes off the page as I thought she would before reading the book, while remaining hidden in her husband's famous shadow. The comparison of Melville's youth and his unhappy old age is juxtaposed brilliantly in the book. For one, it doesn't come across as being disjointed or disconnected and that is what makes the book what it is.
Parini's writing is easy, though the book cannot be read in one sitting. Jay Parini brings every scene to life in his book and that is one of his accomplishments. One can almost taste the salty sea, social groups on-board, and the sexual frustration amongst men rising through the pages. There are a few literature historical fiction books that manage to keep you glued to them. Herman Melville's life was not an easy one. One of the few American Literary Masters who was perceived as a drunk and a crumbling figure who was trying to come to terms with his existence. I love how Parini has brought about the inner conflict of writers and their loved ones' emotions as well through this book. A must read. Also you don't have to have read Moby-Dick to read this one.

Daniel, as Bp. Newton observes, was now very far advanced in years; for the third year of Cyrus was the 73rd of his captivity; and being a youth when carried captive, he cannot be supposed to have been less than ninety. Old as he was, "he set his heart to understand," the former revelations which had been made to him, and particularly the vision of the ram and he-goat, as may be collected from the sequel; and for this purpose he prayed and fasted three weeks. His fasting and prayers had the desired effect, for and angel was sent to unfold to him those mysteries; and whoever would excel in divine knowledge, must imitate Daniel, and habituate himself to study, temperance, and devotion.

As far as the five villages are concerned, we can be very short. There are no campings, where you can put up your tent.
North and south of the villages, you will find some campings in Levanto, Deiva Marina and along the Tuscan coast.
In Levanto there are a few campings :
Further north, you will find two larger campings in Deiva Marina. Both are located close to the nice sandy beach.
Specifically for Campers, the situation is not much better. The parking place, on the beach of Monterosso, is of course a beautiful location, but for the rest not too attractive.
Before entering Portovenere, at the roundabout, there is also a parking for campers, but without any further infrastructure. Good for a night, but not more.
In Levanto, on the parking behind the station, a few places are reserved for campers. But you will need to be very lucky to find a free place.
To help you prepare your trip, you can

Limit Death Row Appeals
The Constitution of the United States outlines the rights of a person accused of a crime. The individual has a right to a trial and to be judged by a jury of his peers. When the result of a trial is a guilty verdict and the individual is sentenced to death, the individual has a right to appeal the verdict and the sentence. At the present time, there are virtually no limits on the number of appeals the individual is entitled to and the process could take years. Therefore, the process should be altered to limit the number of appeals to one.
The Supreme Court of the United States re-instituted the death penalty in 1976. Between that year and 1995, 314 inmates have been executed in the 37 states, districts, and providences of the United States that allow the death penalty. There are more than 3100 inmates on death row. The majority of executions are of white males. Most executions are by lethal injection or electrocution. In the years since the Supreme Court re-instituted the death penalty through 1994, there have been approximately 467,000 homicides in the United States. Based on that number, 2.8 people will die every hour at the hands of another person.
Death row inmates are often on death row for years, some upwards of twenty years. This puts great financial strain on taxpayers' money. While in prison, inmates have many privileges, including cable television, the chance to pursue a college degree, and free health care, all at taxpayers' expense. There are many law-abiding citizens who don't get these benefits. It is appalling to think these people have a virtual life of leisure while in prison. There are some death penalty opponents who believe that convicts don't get enough privileges and lobby for better living conditions and the rights of the convicted felons. Lost in this passionate pursuit of human rights are the rights of the dead victim and those of that victim's family.
The appeal process is lengthy and time-consuming. The appeal process is almost automatic for
Michael Wilkinson 2
individuals sentenced to death. Many appeals are filed by the convicts in hopes of overturning their
conviction or to change their sentence to life imprisonment. Although a great majority of these cases are handled pro bono by lawyers ethically opposed to the death penalty, no consideration is taken in respect to the cost to taxpayers for the local, state, and federal government to respond to and process these appeals. A little known fact about the appeals process is that many states have laws providing funds for the legal defense and appeals for convicted felons. At these convicts' disposal is up to $125 per hour for legal fees. Money that could be better spent elsewhere is wasted on people that have been given due process and now must answer for their crimes against society.
This proposal is both simple and efficient. Death row convictions are entitled to one appeal. This appeal process would begin the day after the individual is sentenced to death. The appeal should have some preferential treatment in regard to its priority, but that is only to expedite the process to be concluded within a year's time. A year from the date of sentencing either the individual is put to death or his death sentence is overturned. Either way, the matter is dealt within a more timely and efficient manner. This would lessen the burden on taxpayers a great deal and unclog the legal channels by not having it mired down by the limitless appeals for each inmate.
Expediting the execution process also gives the family of the victims closure. To have the process drawn out does not allow the healing process to begin for the loved ones of the victim. It keeps the pain fresh and life for them is on hold until justice is served. It is a further insult to them to put the rights of a murderer over the rights of the victim. The convict demonstrated a lack of regard for human life by taking the life of another. The basic premise of human intelligence is the ability to reason and make decisions. This person made a conscious decision to take a life. Regret and remorse will not change the outcome of those actions. This person does not deserve the life of idle comfort typically afforded to convicts.
On 24 April 1996, President Clinton signed the Effective Death Penalty and Anti-Terrorist Bill. The purpose of this bill is to deny legal elongations by both the system and the convict. It limits the
Michael Wilkinson 3
appeal time frame after the state affirmed death sentence. The convict has one year to file an appeal and
one year to adjudicate that appeal. This bill is a step in the right direction. At this point, the bill has been upheld as fair and constitutional, but not without challenges.
The re-institution of the death penalty has not been the deterrent against violent crimes that advocates had hoped for. Part of the reason is the ability of an accused to plea bargain and avoid the death penalty all together and another is the anticipated length of time to be served on death row. If the government would take a hard line stand on this issue and enforce the death penalty efficiently, perhaps it would send out a different message to the would-be murderers on the streets.
The money that would be saved could be spent on bettering the nation and domestic problems in our country. This money earmarked to help felons could help get the homeless of the streets, feed the hungry, and help educate the youth. These convicts are not productive members of society and it is time that productive citizens demand swift justice and stop supporting these murderers with our hard earned money. The rights of the general public who obeys the laws should have more significance than weight that murderers. This is why death row inmates should be limited to one appeal and executed in a timely fashion.

Nash End Game Flat Pear Leads
Some might say a lead is a lead, and that you'd be daft to pay more for one just because it has a name on it. To an extent, I'd agree – especially when you see how much some people are asking - but thankfully it would appear Nash Tackle has taken a more sensible approach.
As anglers themselves, the team at Nash are well aware of how many leads it's possible to get through in a season, and as such, have manufactured a simple but effective lead at a reasonable price; £1.99 a pair, and when you consider that other brands are asking as much as £1.20 for just one, then I'm sure you will agree it's good value.
Of course you can get cheaper leads, I'd be a fool to say otherwise, but just because you can pick up unbranded products for less does not always mean you're getting a bargain. Those who know me will testify that I begrudge paying out for no good reason, as I can ill-afford to splash out at the best of times, but there are certain items of tackle that I've found it always pays to spend a few extra pence on, and leads, along with hooks and line, are definitely one such item.
I've purchased cheap leads in the past, of course I have, but I got sick of the swivels collapsing, or the lead ring pulling free on the cast, when snagged, or worse still, coming out before you've even attached the lead to your safety clip! Since I started spending a bit more on leads I've certainly cut down the amount I get through in a year, and you can't really ask for more than that.
As for purpose, the Nash Pear leads are just the job when you are faced with margins that drop away, bars and shelves, or any other instance where you want it to hold bottom and not roll away taking your rig with it. The Nash Pear is a good all-rounder and I use it for perhaps 70-80% of my fishing.
Nash Pears come in six sizes; 1.1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4oz, and each set comes in a plastic tube with foam inserts. I use various sizes and all have performed perfectly.

Hello Toby, Sorry, I should have explained that a bit. In essence using two weak hashes rather than one strong hash is more work for a less secure result. SHA-256 is perfectly good, but if you're at all worried about it then use SHA-512 which is vastly more secure. If you're worried the NSA has put a back-door in SHA-512 then concoct your scheme by put something on top of it in a way that you know the result will be at least as secure as SHA-512. Do not start with weak components like MD5 and SHA-1. Here's an extended and corrected version of my post on this page that maybe explains some of my reasoning http://www.lightbluetouchpaper.org/2007/11/23/a-cryptographic-hash-function-reading-guide/ A hash may be applied to a very large file that won't fit in memory and normally processes the whole file in one pass. (Or a hash may be applied to data fed through a communications device in which case you may have to do it in one pass.) By using two hashes you have potentially doubled the file access effort. I suppose we could theoretically re-write the two hash functions to interleave as the file data becomes available, but this isn't worth doing because the result, as well as being more work, would also be less secure than one strong hash. A hash needs to be as short as possible because we may store and transfer lots of them and don't want to waste effort with longer than necessary hashes. Storing two different hashes adds length without fully utilising the extra length. (I think this may be because you have two separate piles of bits that never mix rather than one big pile that is totally mixed. Compare 64! with 32! * 32! and you're probably in the right area.) Since we're not using the extra length it might be better to XOR the hashes onto each other, but either way you risk some sort of unknown interaction between the hashes that may weaken the combination. If you are going to do two passes over the file I think it would be better to do it like this : Hash2( Hash1( message ) + message ) but not like this : Hash2( message + Hash1( message ) ) rather than like this : Hash1( message ) + Hash2( message ) Given diverse algorithms for Hash1 and Hash2 this looks like a good scheme to me. You can extend this recursively to as many different hashes as you want. The strength will of course be limited by the length of the final hash. Michael's post looks correct and maybe explains some of this better. Michal's post however I disagree with for the reasons I give above. Richard.

Fridge Paneling: 8 Refrigerators in Disguise
Let your fridge blend neatly into its surroundings
In many kitchens, one of the first things you see is the refrigerator; it's big, it's shiny, and its surface is often peppered with souvenir magnets, wedding invitations, or to-do lists. In these cook spaces, all renovated by Sweeten general contractors, the homeowners decided to integrate the appliance with custom paneling and cabinetry instead.
Given the open layout of their brownstone apartment, Melissa and Russ wanted to make sure it didn't feel like they were always in the kitchen. A fully custom cabinet system with integrated appliances (including the refrigerator) helped achieve this goal.
When Ainsley and Simon's architect discovered that the column in the kitchen was merely decorative, they came up with a plan to tuck the refrigerator inside of it and add custom panels. "You don't look at it and think it is a fridge at all," Ainsley said.
Lauren's front door led directly into the kitchen. When it came time to renovate, she had to choose between creating a traditional entryway or designing a hybrid space that would add square footage to the kitchen. She chose the latter and opted for a seamless wall of cabinetry to contain the refrigerator and pantry storage—plus, a coat closet.
To improve the flow between their living and kitchen space, Tara and Brian's contractor came up with an idea to move the refrigerator to a wall already outfitted with closets. Now the refrigerator fits right in with the cabinetry instead of jutting out in the main cooking space.
Casey and Kumar's apartment is full of clever storage solutions to maximize their limited space. The kitchen is one such example thanks to creative built-ins, including the hidden refrigerator. Custom cabinetry covers the refrigerator along with a neighboring pantry, and the whole unit conceals a structural column.
Since they moved the kitchen from the back of the apartment to right in the entryway, Katherine and Chris wanted the appliances to blend in with the cabinetry. Their seamless kitchen features a hidden refrigerator, dishwasher, built-in pull out pantry, and a coat closet.
Looking to create a functional kitchen that was also beautiful enough to host dinner parties, Rachel and Marco planned on hiding as many of their appliances as possible. Their general contractor built two "appliance garages" to conceal the smaller ones while the fridge was encased in paneling that matches the surrounding cabinetry.
Less like appliances, more like furniture—that was Sally's directive for her kitchen renovation. Her contractor built out a wall of cabinets hiding the refrigerator, a pantry, and narrow units designed to hold brooms and mops, too.
Refer your renovating friends to Sweeten and you'll both receive a $250 Visa gift card when they sign a contract with a Sweeten general contractor.
Sweeten handpicks the best general contractors to match each project's location, budget, scope, and style. Follow the blog for renovation ideas and inspiration and when you're ready to renovate, start your renovation on Sweeten.

Did a coaching session a while back, which gave me a super useful insight you might find handy.
I was asked: "Martin, I have the hardest time recruiting people for these franchise opportunities. What do you suggest?"
I had him explain his process to me, and when he was done, I told him:
"Stop trying to sell people a problem".
Obviously he was confused, because what he's selling is actually a great opportunity.
But for whom?
Because to start a franchise, even if the cost to entry is $0, means that you're taking on a huge, enormous, all-consuming 'problem'.
You know this, since you're an entrepreneur. Building and growing and running a venture is HARD work and will be so for many years.
To 99.99% of the population, that's a 'hell no!' kind of problem.
It's only for the daring, the crazy, the true heart&soul entrepreneurs.
Starting a business, of any kind, takes a very special kind of person.
The kind of person who LOVES working ongoingly, on solving big hairy complex 'problems'. Or challenges, if you want a more constructive framework.
An entrepreneur is someone who doesn't just accept the 'problem' of being in business – people like us, whether consciously or not, we love problems.
Getting our hands dirty, extracting every ounce of creative problem-solving we have in us.
So for this franchiser, his solution is simple: go present the option to just that kind of person. Skip talking to anyone who is the employee-type, and not the entrepreneur type.
But what about you?
I'll assume your work is excellent, worth the money, and yet… why are not more people buying your thing?
Could it be that, in the buyer's perception, buying your stuff somehow represents or causes a problem?
Think about it: what, in your offer and your marketing, could be problematic for the buyer, in some way?
Are you, somehow, 'selling them a problem?'
Sure, 'finding the money' or 'am I willing to part with that cash?' can be a possible problem for them, but beyond that:
In what other ways might you, unwittingly, be selling a problem?
Here's a simple, quick fix, if you feel this might be why you're not getting more sales:
Keep your offer simple.
You wouldn't believe how many sales fall through simply because the package (or it's presentation) is too complex and too overwhelming.
And when there's overwhelm, there's confusion, insufficient confidence, and lack of trust.
Simplify, and you remove those barriers to entry in the mind of the buyer.

May 25, 2020
There are two important tax advantages associated with life insurance. The first tax advantage is that death benefits are generally not taxable as income for income tax purposes for a person named as the beneficiary. The second tax advantage is that for cash value plans there is generally no tax on the increase in the cash value as it grows over time.

GUNS N' ROSES Bassist DUFF MCKAGAN To Interview Actor SEAN PENN At Seattle's Moore Theatre
April 2, 2018
GUNS N' ROSES bassist Duff McKagan will interview Sean Penn about the Academy Award-winning actor's recently released book, "Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff", on April 11 at Seattle's Moore Theatre.
"I wanted an author who doesn't hate the book," Penn told the Seattle Times about the decision to get McKagan to interview him.
"Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff" follows a septic-tank salesman who becomes a contract assassin who kills people with mallets. The dark comedy is published by Atria, an imprint of Simon & Schuster.
The book was released to mostly scathing reviews, along with social media controversy over a poem about the #MeToo movement and a passage slamming the Trump Administration.
Back in 2011, McKagan told Publishers Weekly that he holds "books and their writers… in high esteem." He added that the "undertaking" of writing his book, "It's So Easy", "was not at all approached lightly. Words are a currency that can be very valuable to me," he explained. "Use words with economy, and sprinkle them with care — like gold dust, or better yet, pieces of diamond."
GUNS N' ROSES will return in June for a seven-week European jaunt, but the band's plans until then, and beyond that, remain unknown for now. The three core members — McKagan, singer Axl Rose and guitarist Slash — have not given a single interview together.

Message of Ezekiel
God's glorious character makes necessary the judgment of sin (Jerusalem's fall, the Babylonian captivity and the judgment of the Gentile nations) but also assures the restoration of a repentant minority of purified people in a new and glorious kingdom.
- The appearing and departing of God's glory determine success. When God's glory leaves you cannot win. When God's glory is with you, you cannot lose. 1-3
- The disciplinary judgment on God's unfaithful covenant people will be just, equitable,appropriate, complete and devastating. 4-24
- The Gentile nations and the spiritual forces behind them will be judged so that they will acknowledge God as their Lord. 25-29
- God's judgment will be a resurrection/restoration for His repentant people. 30-35
- The new covenant will result in a new order in which God will live with His people. 36-48

When I quit my last job I got a farewell gift. It was a book about the town I have lived in for many years now. It covered the history of the city – from its foundation until today. The last few days I have been reading it and it has been fascinating. Because even though I have been living in this town for the majority of my life, I have known very little about what happened in the past, and what have shaped the town and its inhabitants.
For example, my town was founded because of military strategic reasons. It was built in a inaccessible marsh that surrounded by lakes in order to slow down troop movement. The city streets were designed to allow for counter attacks if a enemy would be able to push through the walls. Hence the roads stretches straight through the entire city. This would allow cavalry and men to move swiftly and charge through the town. Furthermore, the city has been through many, many changes. It has been owned by two different countries and have swapped hands a couple of times. And the inhabitants have at times been forced to pay debilitating military taxes because of the many wars.
After having read the book I have begun to view my town differently. I could better understand why the inhabitants today are the way they are and why we have certain weaknesses and strengths within our township. My connection to the town have deepened. And I have realized that this type of research is something that I should commit to in all parts of my life because of how it supports me to expand my horizons. And there are many aspects of my life that I take for granted and that I have not researched at all. How cars work, the nature and ecology around my home, my own body and its processes – there are so many functionalities to look into.
I imagine that in the past, when life was more simple, people had a general understanding of how things worked. If something broke down, they could repair it. The world was not as big. People knew their local village, how it came about, who lived their, and had a personal connection to the earth that sustained the community. Today it is different. Not only do we have access to more information. There is also many more things to become informed about and understand. We are further away from the core of the inventions/processes that make our life possible. Almost every aspect of our day is moved by complex mechanical inventions. It easy to forget all of these high tech mechanics. From the sanitation systems that keep our cities and houses clean, to the electrical systems that provide energy for all of our modern facilities. They are all extremely important for our day to day living, yet few of us have a relationship with/understanding of these points, which is obviously something that would be supportive to correct.
Personally, I have during recent years committed to learn more about carpentry and gardening and that has been a intriguing journey through which I have also come to expand my abilities in math, physics and chemistry. There are still many parts of my life that I wish to explore and reading this book reminded me of that. When I learn, my world expands, and I expand with it – and that is something I love to experience.

staring at me, expecting me to get up and give her my seat. For you see, I have taken a copious amount of mushrooms today, and I am no longer sure if my legs are attached to my body or not. Please stop staring."
- Is what I think my friend was trying to say when he texted me just now. What he actually texted me(spelling mistakes fixed):
"Shrooming on bus. old Lady staring. Question: are legs always attached to your body or do you need to press a button? when this thing stops im going to run, with or without legs"
Totally made me laugh out loud, thanx
HAHA this highdea got better and better the further it went. it started off fuckin hilarious and the second half was so much better lol. may be one of the best ive ever heard
Hahahahahahahahahahaah YES! That's is fucking perfect. just makes me smile when I hear about people deep in a trip. Sounds like one badass day. Hahaha
haha, I cant wait to get off work and hear about his day, the texts stop coming in a couple hours ago. but hes a big boy, im sure hes fine, tripping out over some plant somewhere.
hahahaha thats fuckin hilarious. i wouldnt wanna anywhere near a crowded bus on shrooms lol
Haha screw a crowded bus, I don't like being around anyone who I don't know when I'm shrooming. Atleast he's not driving!
what?! I went to the renaissance festival shrooming (annual tradition now) and it's the greatest thing being around everyone!
trip at a music festival, probably. trip at a renaissance festival, heeellllllll no. the whole time i would be worried that i went back in the time
I'm the same way. Strangers sketch me out when shroomin.
ya I dont know why either. First few times I did it I was cool with having a bunch of people around. But I tripped really bad the next few times with people, they sketch me out when shrooming too dude.
yoinkie i just found out im going to seattle over the summer, and i read on a past highdea that you live there, it would be an honor to burn with my highdeas role model
Hahahahah! That's great. Love the edit of your friend's text lol.
hahahaaahahahahaha this just made my night!
I LOVE SHROOMS! :) they're the fucking best.
Lmao this is perfect. I've had so many ridiculous thoughts like that while shrooming. Love this! :)

Predicting Rates of Invasion in a Global Society
The increasing amount of international transport and exchange requires a better understanding of the mechanisms behind invasive species dispersal. As we send goods across trade routes around the world, we also provide new pathways of invasion for non-native species.
The NCEAS working group assessing the effects of trade policy on the management of non-native pests recognizes the ecological and economic significance of understanding invasions, and has recently published a study in the Journal of Applied Ecology that aims to improve predictions of invasion rates.
Established invasion prediction models indicate that as a source pool of a potentially invasive species is depleted within a given region over time, the likelihood of that species establishing in a receiving region decreases because most of the "best" invaders have already settled in the new area. However, these older models assume that invasion pressure remains constant, while in reality this pressure has increased significantly over time with the increase in international trade routes.
The model developed in this study accounts both for this increase in invasion pressure as well as the different abundances of various species within an invasion pathway, in order to better predict the number of species that may invade an area over time. The new model predicted that the increasing import rate overwhelms the effect of species pool depletion, causing an overall increase in the establishment of new invasive species.
This result should be come as a warning for managers of invasive species. Expanding and intensifying trade routes in new geographic regions around the world can be expected to open up previously isolated species pools, contributing to increasing rates of invasion.
Depletion of heterogeneous source species pools predicts future invasion rates

There are really only two types of holiday hosts: the one who researches recipes during an August heat wave, has a linen closet perpetually stocked with freshly pressed holly-embroidered tablecloths and obsesses over individually placed pumpkins at each place setting (we'll call her the "Monica Geller").
Then there's that rare creature who makes holiday entertaining feel effortless and stress-free by focusing more on creating meaningful moments than carefully crafting a five-course gourmet meal. (Editor's note: We know there's no such thing as "effortless entertaining," only hosts who make it all feel effortless and, in doing so, put their guests immediately at ease. This is the art part.)
When we think back on the holiday memories that never fail to put a smile on our face, it isn't the roasted turkey or Grandma's china that we remember, it's those times spent gathered around the dinner table laughing, connecting and reminiscing. In other words: It's who's at the table, not what's on it. In our mind, the best hosts are those who take the time to set up those memory-making moments and allow that special brand of magic to unfold.
Here are our five favorite tips for getting the dinner party started — and ensuring that the memories last long after the punch bowl is packed away.
1. Set the stage. Now's the time to pull out all the stops. You don't need to OD on red and green and tinsel, but if you've been collecting hand-blown glass ornaments or vintage decorations from the 1960s, make sure they get their chance to shine. Stage beautifully framed family photographs from past celebrations. Spin a festive playlist. And add generous dashes of plush textiles and glam sparkle— holiday decorating is your home's once-a-year chance to really show off.
2. Make your guests feel one of a kind — because they are. Yes, gathering a diverse group of guests (especially if they're related) carries a certain amount of angst. But, if you look past the differences and find the common ground, you'll remember why you're all there, together in one room. So, really, a lesson in navigating life itself.
3. Whip up a signature cocktail. Nothing says "this is a party to remember" than a cocktail crafted especially for the occasion. Have fun with it! Bust out those gold-rimmed martini glasses or Champagne coupes that have been gathering dust. Find a simple-to-prepare and easy-to-please recipe online. Garnish with sprigs of fresh mint or mini candy canes. Bottoms up!
4. Banish boring place cards. "Best smile." "Class clown." "Most likely to name drop." Rather than seating guests by name (ho hum), choose stand-out personality traits (think of your high school yearbook) and let your guests suss out who's who. This will surely mix up the seating chart in interesting and unexpected ways.
5. Craft creative conversation starters. Choose a question designed to draw out an interesting answer ("What advice would you give your childhood self?" "Who has been your biggest inspiration?" "What is the first thing you do in the morning?"). Write it on a piece of paper and tape it underneath one of your guest's dining chairs. While you're enjoying dessert around the table, ask everyone to look under their chairs for a surprise and let the chosen person have the floor. You just might be surprised at what you learn.
The Inspired Interiors team wishes you and your family a very happy holiday season filled with meaningful moments and once-in-a-lifetime memories. We're looking ahead to 2019 when we will reveal our "Dare to Live" series exploring how design can help us all live life more fully. We hope you'll join us on the journey!
