Usually when you travel with small children, there is no compromise. You're either dragging them through some museum or historical site where the memory of it will forever be footnoted with your child's terrible whining, or you're slogging through a theme park only to serve as their placeholder on a two-hour line so that the kids can ride the spinning tea cups for ninety seconds without experiencing the weight of the wait. But traveling Newcastle with kids, allows parents and their small children to strike a compromise, guaranteeing both parties enjoy the day.

the Peasant Top in Mustard
$ 35.00
This product is sold out
our Peasant Top is so good! The mustard color is so current and it pairs well with literally everything! The top features a gathered elastic neckline along with a gathered wristband as well. The gauze fabric is so soft and beautiful. The boho flair is perfect for layering, wear with a vest and bloomers for a boho vibe!
Please note: This fabric is a double gauze which is so beautiful and soft, however it is more of a delicate type fabric.
- Double Guaze Fabric
- Mustard- Classic Fall Color
- Handmade
These tops run true to size but keep in mind the double gauze fabric will crinkle up as you wash and dry it giving it a bit of a smaller look. If in doubt size up. There is no fitted part to these tops so they are very flexible as far as sizing goes. Model is 3 and wearing the size 2/3 I would size up to the 4/5 for Hazel for longer wear.

As the most reliable and balanced news aggregation service on the internet, DML News offers the following information published by WASHINGTONEXAMINER.COM:
The Maryland prep school assailed for its "party school" culture during the contentious confirmation process of alumnus Brett Kavanaugh tweeted out news of his confirmation to the Supreme Court on Saturday afternoon.
Georgetown Preparatory School drew scrutiny and criticism after California professor Christine Blasey Ford came forward with an accusation that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her at a 1982 party attended by its students. Criticism and speculation about drug and alcohol use by its students and allegations of a "party school" culture drew a response from the Maryland institution that criticized its depiction.
The article goes on to state the following:
The elite Jesuit school fired back at critics last week, saying that the image presented of the school on "social media and in various news outlets depicts recklessness, illegal conduct, and lack of respect for persons."
"But the temptations, and the failings, presented in these stories are not unique to Georgetown Prep," said a statement issued by the school.
The Honorable Brett Kavanaugh '83 has been confirmed by the United States Senate to serve on the Supreme Court. https://t.co/w1CZKBYOE3 pic.twitter.com/yl3qEzGwjm

Given the bouts of mass hysteria breaking out across the country, the inevitable war-related tabloid headlines and angry boozed up, flag-clad supporters, England's slow and painful elimination from the World Cup must be nearing its depressing conclusion.
There is something incredibly predictable about what has happened over the past two weeks. The England players, with oversized egos massaged by their Premier League stardom, carried their overstated sense of entitlement and self-importance into a tournament they were always unlikely to win, even if the World Cup 2010 betting odds suggested otherwise.
However, throw in a frenzied media determined to refer to either 1966 or the second world war in every other sentence and some washed up celebrities releasing ridiculous 'Eng-gur-land' songs, all of a sudden then nation began to believe the team could actually achieve something.
To be fair, the manner of England's qualification, which saw them score more goals than any other European team and included 4-1 and 5-1 wins over Croatia, suggested they could make an impression at the finals.
But the scale of England's failure so far is, even by their standards, pretty spectacular. First up was the USA game and Rob Green's contribution to football gaffes DVDs for decades to come. Though even then as England laboured to the 1-1 draw the fans convinced themselves it was a good result, as obviously the all conquering England team would steamroller Algeria to set up a place in the knockout stages.
But that was before we were treated an excruciatingly painful 90 minutes against the African "minnows" as the press called them. To be fair no one gave Algeria much credit for their performance. In a World cup that has now seen New Zealand draw with Italy and Switzerland beat Spain it is not unrealistic to suggest that Algeria got their tactics spot on and battled to a deserved draw.
But when you get Wayne Rooney, the street footballer from Croxteth, shouting at the travelling fans on live television, who needs to talk about the opposition.
The result has brought out the worst in everyone involved. The supporters are divided, with some apoplectic at such a poor performance given the amount the paid to travel and watch the team. Others feel it is all too inevitable and preferred to look forward to the new domestic season, while those who only watch football every four years have gone back to their gardening.
The press meanwhile are slagging off everyone involved, even criticising Fabio Capello for lack of decisiveness and leadership. A word of warning – if Fabio leaves it's a choice between Roy Hodgson and Harry Redknapp.
And then the players themselves, insulted that the fans dare question their performance they have spat their dummies out in dramatic fashion, with talk of players revolt and a split dressing room. It makes you wish the whole thing was over already. England's World Cup odds suggest it almost is.
Thankfully I don't think we will have to wait that long for that wish to come true.

Freddie Gray case threatened integrity of the justice system
After hearing the verdict of not guilty late last month, Baltimore police officer Edward Nero, according to news reports, cleared tears from his eyes, undoubtedly relieved to have successfully dodged the machinations of a rogue, bullish prosecutor with political ambitions.
Nero, 30, had been accused of second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and two counts of misconduct in office in the well-documented case of Freddie Gray, the 25-year-old who died in April 2015 from injuries sustained while riding in the back of a police transport van.
Baltimore City Circuit Judge Barry Williams said there were no "credible facts" to find the officer guilty of the charges against him.
Nero was not the only relieved law enforcement officer.
Nothing more threatens the health and safety of every community across the nation, including ours in Fort Worth, than overzealous prosecutors, such as Baltimore City State Attorney Marilyn Mosby, apparently attempting to accrue points with special interest groups for a political payday down the road.
Police officers should be held accountable by the law. No one is above the law, including — no, make that especially — police officers.
But what happened in Baltimore is a threat to the integrity of our system of justice, not to mention the lives of officers, who every day willingly enter dangerous places to ensure that communities and neighborhoods are livable and functional.
The officers charged in Baltimore were doing their job, a job that, oddly enough, Mosby had asked to be ramped up in the high-crime area known to include rampant drug trade. It was on a corner in that neighborhood that Gray encountered police, who chased after him when he fled on foot.
Prosecutors alleged that Nero, a bicycle officer, committed an assault by detaining Gray without justification, even though a number of court precedents have affirmed officers' legal right to chase a suspect in "high-crime" areas and detain him or her while they confirm or dismiss suspicions.
Prosecutors said Nero's role in putting Gray into the wagon without buckling a seat belt amounted to reckless endangerment.
Another officer, Garrett Miller, one of four others yet to face charges, testified that he alone had apprehended Gray, while Nero went back to retrieve their bicycles.
"There has been no information presented at this trial that the defendant intended for any crime to happen, nor has there been any evidence presented that the defendant communicated any information to a primary actor that he was ready, willing and able to lend support if needed to any crime," Williams said.
In total, six officers have been charged in the case. Nero was the second to face trial. The first ended in a hung jury.
As it related to Nero, legal observers called the prosecutor's theories "novel," "radical" and "unprecedented."
It's not difficult to understand those critiques: She ignored the facts.
Instead of an objective examination of the evidence, she appeared to proceed as if to prosecute the case to fit a narrative she either wanted to believe or was coerced to believe under pressure from special interest groups.
In announcing the charges last year, Mosby dubiously told black youth of Baltimore, "This is your moment… You're at the forefront of this cause… Our time is now."
This is not consistent in protecting the public interest.
The great "cause" of the American judicial system is to ensure that truth is uncovered and justice is done according to the evidence of the case. That's the sworn duty of the prosecutor.
"I hope that as we move forward with this case everyone will respect due process and refrain from doing anything that would jeopardize our ability to seek justice," Mosby said last year.
Ironically, justice was put in jeopardy by Mosby, who didn't even realize that the knife found on Gray, while legal under state law, was not permissible under city code.
Mosby didn't even attend the reading of Nero's verdict.
Like police officers, the work of prosecutors is serious business that requires professionals committed to the highest standards of ethics and integrity.
Not to mention justice.
Rick Van Houten is a sergeant in the Fort Worth Police Department and president of the Fort Worth Police Officers Association.

I love spin (Poking fun at anti-ebook titles and posts)
33% reading ebooks was spun as "Despite the jump in both the number of digital readers and book buyers with devices, the percentage of book readers who said they only read digital books remained below 1% in February, while the percentage of readers who said they will only read print books stayed at 40%."
Oh, and 26% of readers are looking into trying e-reading or increasing the market by 75%... Why didn't the article highlight that?
eBooks lead to print sales sounds pretty pro big6 right? It then goes to say "Ebooks are not killing print." But then the small publishers come out ahead with "Especially on the non-traditional side, we're seeing the reprint business' internet-driven business model expand dramatically. It will be interesting to see in the coming years how well it succeeds in the long-term."
Oh... Small publishers are using ebooks to help sell print! A totally different conclusion than the 1st paragraph leads one to believe...
A no-spin article worth reading.
I have to agree with the last article. Small business can now sell books directly to customers. It is a different world.
What if the Amazon rumors are true about Amazon launching ereading friendly tablets and possibly an ereading phone (which I've been waiting for). Or... what if the 7" tablet is also a phone, that would work for me...
Publishers are not ready for a Christmas where Amazon is a big tablet player... Not to mention a new Nook is expected later this month...
No wonder the AAP is hiding the print sales numbers. The floor is shifting.

Hi Neil,ReplyDelete
While we are in a link-y mood, here's two that might interest you (especially the second).
#1 In line with your story the top UK trade mag, The Bookseller, reported in it's headline that e-books have dropped back from the post-Christmas high and now only command 2.5% of the market (some figures had the UK e-books at 10% post-Christmas). I thought "wow, quite a drop". Then I read the article. It was a survey. Not hard figures.
#2 There are rumours that Amazon is planning not one, but TWO tablets to be released this year!
Have you ever seen "Thank you for Smoking"? Now there's a spin artist ;)ReplyDelete
I think the spin from the first paragraph is going to give me whiplash. I can imagine the knots they twisted themselves into to get an answer like 1% only read digital. Something like:
Q1: Do you have an ereader?
A1: Yes.
Q2: Have you, ever in the history of mankind and this earth upon which we trod, NOT read a print book?
A2: Er... no?
Conclusion: Nobody reads solely digital! (Eureka!)
YA: Cheat, Liar, Coward
Adult: Shackled
Sorry for the late reply. But with my graphs up, I bet no one will notice. ;)ReplyDelete
David, the Kindle tablets and Kindle phone will help spark further ebook sales. I'm very excited at their launch. Alas, all indications are just before Christmas.
I would go a step further. Almost all digital readers still read paper. You just don't have enough paper readers who have bought the 'vehicle' to read ebooks. That 40% will drop. It will be interesting how clever the surveys have to become to keep up the 40% number...

I would love this too. I posted a suggestion for it long time ago:topforce wrote:Still need to do that when building perimeter wall. Since bots don't path too well around large areas of no coverage. They go straight for the destination and when they run out of power they go to closest roboport and that can be starting roboport. But buffer chests are nice addition that will help to keep things organized.We were also concerned of people segregating their logistic networks for more control, it seems to us it was a workaround to a problem we should fix.
It's unfortunate that the first reply is from a dev:
Also this suggestion would be great to get implemented:Postby Rseding91 » Fri Dec 02, 2016 10:16 am

Cárdenas: Immigration reform inevitable
By Chris Burbach, Omaha World Herald
However unlikely it may seem today, immigration reform is inevitable in the United States, a prominent Mexican politician said Thursday in Omaha.
"Here in the States, I don't know when and how, but all these irregular migrants will have to, in some way, become regular, legal migrants," said Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas, former mayor of Mexico City and the man widely believed to have been robbed of victory in the 1988 Mexican presidential election. "I know this will take time, but this has to happen, because there's a very important contribution in the work that these people are doing."
That, and there are about 12 million undocumented immigrants in the United States, he observed.
"I would say that it is impossible to take measures where they could all be expelled from the country," Cárdenas said, although he also noted that deportations have increased under the Obama administration.
Cárdenas sounded those familiar themes in an interview. He is scheduled to speak Friday night at the Livestock Exchange Building in South Omaha during a conference of the National Alliance of Latin American and Caribbean Communities. The organization, based in Chicago, advocates for Latinos in the United States and abroad. It's a coalition of groups from around the country, including the Heartland Workers Center of Omaha, which is co-hosting the conference.
Cárdenas, 77, founded Mexico's principal leftist party, the Party of the Democratic Revolution (or PRD), in the 1980s. He was elected Mexico City's mayor in 1997. He ran for president twice more, in 1994 and 2000.
In October, Cárdenas received the Belisario Dominguez Medal, the Mexican Senate's highest honor. He used the occasion to criticize the government of President Felipe Calderón, and to call for a halt to using the Mexican military to fight drug cartels.
Cárdenas said Thursday that fighting crime "is not a function of the army but of the police." He said the war on drugs has been a failure.
He said organized crime, like illegal immigration, is related to economic woes. He said official figures place unemployment in Mexico at 5.8 percent, but he believes it is above 30 percent.
Cárdenas said the United States government and others in the region should work together to change the economic conditions driving illegal immigration from Mexico and Latin America.
"They come here because, in a way, they are forced to leave their countries, because there are no opportunities, there are no possibilities of working there, of staying with their families, of improving the living standards of themselves and their families," Cárdenas said.
He said the North American Free Trade Agreement has hurt Mexico's economy badly, leading to the loss of many industries and agricultural enterprises. But Cárdenas, noting that the world's richest person (Carlos Slim Helú) is a Mexican, added, "Our internal policies haven't been the best for improving living standards in Mexico. And it has nothing to do with NAFTA, nothing to do with the decisions made outside Mexico, but with our internal policies.
"And that has produced a very unequal society. I think we have one of the most unequal societies in the world."

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- It's not every day a rich German baron seeks to buy a vast stake in one of the oldest gold companies in the United States, all because of the euro.
Baron August Von Finck, who with his brother Wilhelm Von Finck is worth about $4.5 billion, already owns 14.2 percent of San Francisco's Homestake (HM) hm . Von Finck managed to get one of his representatives on the board of Homestake, one of the oldest continually traded companies on the New York Stock Exchange.
Now, say Homestake executives and Securities & Exchange Commission filings, August wants to raise his stake to 25 percent and land another board seat. That's a bold step, given gold's lackluster price in a world where investors and central bankers would rather trade derivatives than bars of the metal.
Von Finck's family made its money by amassing large stakes in drug company Merck (MRK) MRK, -3.81% and insurance giant Allianz. The family owns pieces of German brewer Löwenbräu and Swiss hotel and restaurant chain Mövenpick, according to Forbes magazine.
Von Finck is well known for not wanting to be well known. He hates publicity. His secretary, reached in Munich this week, was pleasant but firm.
"Mr. Von Finck is abroad," she said. "He will be a long time abroad." She declined to take this writer's name and phone number. Translation: No comment.
Still, Homestake CEO Jack Thompson has met with Von Finck. Homestake vice president of investor relations Steve Orr, who has been with the company for 28 years, says Von Finck and his representative, accountant Gerhard Ammann, will bring a global perspective to Homestake's operations.
After all, Homestake runs mines in Australia, Canada and the United States and has interests around the world. Its stock, on the NYSE since 1879, is also traded on the Australian Stock Exchange, in Switzerland and on the over-the-counter markets in Frankfurt, Germany and Paris.
Poison or gold?
Orr at Homestake says Von Finck and Homestake's board are negotiating a way for the baron to raise his take to 25 percent without triggering a poison pill. "He has requested that we waive the poison pill," said Orr. "He wants to invest about 1 billion deutsche marks."
At current Homestake prices, that would give Von Finck a quarter of all the company's shares, which are worth a total of $2.5 billion. The poison pill, adopted earlier this decade, penalizes shareholders who go above the 15 percent threshold.
Orr says Von Finck "is a bit of a gold bug and an eccentric. He's doing this as a hedge. He doesn't believe in the euro."
The euro, a unified currency for many European nations, including Germany, will debut in January 1999. The new currency is the subject of much debate across Europe, in part because of the strict fiscal requirements that nations must meet if they are to stay in the "euro" club.
No one but a gold bug -- someone who sees fiscal crisis in coming years -- would make such a large bet on gold. The metal, which traditionally has been a haven in times of turmoil, is flirting with 19-year lows. The December futures contract traded in New York (GC=Z8) sells for about $293 an ounce.
What's more, Orr points out that Von Finck is willing to sink more marks into Homestake ahead of the December dilution of equity that will come when the mining company buys the 49 percent or so of Canada's Prime Resources Group that it doesn't already own.
Homestake is prepared to hand over seven-tenths of a Homestake share for each Prime share, which trades in Canada. The transaction would require Homestake to issue 27.8 million more common shares to its 211 million-share total.
Like most gold miners these days, Homestake is losing money. David Christensen, a Merrill Lynch analyst, sees Homestake losing 22 cents a share this year. The San Francisco analyst in a recent report anticipates Homestake will produce 2.3 million ounces of gold in 1998.
Gold shares show some life
"We believe that the new shareholders of Homestake such as Malaysia Mining and some of the Prime shareholders may not be long term investors in Homestake and there could be some selling pressure on the share price should gold prices not sustain the recent rally," Christensen said in his report.
The recent rally this analyst mentions took the price of gold briefly above the $300-per-ounce mark. Gold companies' shares, at least in North America, have shown some life this autumn. The Philadelphia Gold & Silver Index of the largest U.S.-traded mining giants, including Homestake, Newmont Mining (NEM) NEM, -0.42% and Barrick Gold (ABX) ABX, -1.18% , has risen 60 percent since troughing in late August (the month, folks, not the baron).
Christensen, who declined to return a phone call for comment, sees zero profit next year at Homestake and slightly improved cash flow of 64 cents a share. Homestake reported a net loss of $182.2 million or 86 cents per share in the third quarter of 1998 compared to a net loss of $155.6 million or 74 cents per share in the third quarter of 1997.
One investment professional in San Francisco sees Homestake shares going for 17 each if North America's largest mining companies consolidate their operations in an effort to reduce costs. Homestake shares sell for about 12.
Orr said Homestake sees Von Finck's presence as the company's largest shareholder as a positive. "He has been very beneficial to us," Orr said. If the euro gets off to a rough start next year, Von Finck might prove to be more than a 69-year-old paranoid billionaire.
Informix buzz: Hey, when you have a bunch of analysts in town, ride their coattails, right? After Oracle CEO Larry Ellison takes the stage at Oracle OpenWorld in San Francisco Tuesday, he'll brief Wall Street analysts at the database company's headquarters in Redwood Shores, Calif.
Leave it to little-guy Informix Corp. (IFMX) ifmx to grab the Wall Street crowd the next day, right at San Francisco International Airport just before the analysts head back to work. Early word is that Informix will unveil several large database deals and products that center on Internet commerce. Informix stock, at 6 1/2 or so, could pop to 8 1/2 if Informix CEO Bob Finocchio gets specific about new contracts with Baby Bell companies, one investment pro says. Informix reported a third-quarter profit of $18.4 million vs. a $110.5 million loss in the same time period a year ago. (See related story.)

Crop, is it really crap?
Crop, is it really crap?
A question I see all the time is if it is worth the money to upgrade to a full frame body or invest in glass for your apsc or dx body. Just under a year ago I went from shooting a Canon 60d to a 5d mkii. I will go over the pros and cons of upgrading and my final verdict. I was lucky enough to pick up my 5dmkii really cheap which made my decision easy. Do I regret it? There's only one way to find out.
Pros to upgrading to full frame.
- Much improved lowlight performance
- Enhanced image quality
- Better autofocusing (for the most part)
- Better ergonomics for people with huge hands like me
Cons to upgrading to full frame
- Lenses quickly get very expensive
- Crop sensors are generally more forgiving to lower quality lenses because they have produce a lower quality image (in most cases)
- With the above, there is a lot more lenses available as you can use full frame and crop lenses on crop bodies
- CF cards used in most full frame cameras are sooo much more expensive than SD cards used by most crop bodies
With that I'll say this, a lot of people don't need the quality from a 35mm full frame sensor. If I had the choice between spending around $2400 for a canon 6d with a compatible lens vs spending that much on some crop lenses, well $2400 goes a long way especially for sigmas new f1.8 zooms. So with that, I would probably stick to crop and buy some lenses.
At the end of the day, practice is more important than gear, always keep that in mind.
Thanks for stopping by.

Botanical gardens grow a wide variety of plants both for scientific purposes and for the enjoyment and education of visitors.
The scientific work done at botanical gardens includes studies of how to adapt exotic plants to grow in the locale of the garden; taxonomic studies; and the propagation of rare or endangered species of plant. Kew Gardens, near London, has been publishing a scientific journal of botanical research, illustrated in color, since the late 18th century.
Educational projects range from introductions to plants that thrive in different environments to practical advice for the home gardener. Many botanical gardens have plant shops, selling flowers, herbs, and vegetable seedlings suitable for transplantation.

Sagat and G are now officially available for Street Fighter 5: Arcade Edition
Do you play the King or the President?
Most people tuning into or attending EVO last night were probably expecting to see G finally revealed for Street Fighter 5: Arcade Edition, but many were also hoping for a Sagat reveal or at least teaser alongside it. We got both, and not only that because they release today.
Sagat and G are now officially available in Street Fighter 5: Arcade Edition following the scheduled server maintenance which follows the inclusion of every DLC character in the game.
Sagat is the "King of Muay Thai" and has been a staple of the Street Fighter franchise since his days as the final boss of the original title where Ryu would scar his chest and cement their rivalry. Many players out there have been asking for the king's return since season one of SF5, but now he's finally here.
G is the self-proclaimed "President of the World" and wields mysterious Earth-themed powers including the gold which can be seen on his skin and lava which is part of his V-Trigger and some of his specials.
Each character will cost $5.99 USD or 100,000 Fight Money for those who have been saving up their in-game currency from missions and Story Mode.
You can check out the characters and their costumes, trailers and moves below. Stay tuned to EventHubs for impressions and tips for playing the characters in the coming days.
G General Information
G is unique due to the fact that he has a third meter system outside of the V-gauge and the Critical Art gauge. This meter is called the Presidentiality level.
By utilizing the G Charge, G's Presidentiality level will raise to its maximum level of three. His special moves are more powerful based on his Presidentiality level. Every time he's knocked down, he loses a level.
G Smash Over is normally a quick lunging punch that sends an opponent flying. If his Presidentiality level is at level three, then the attack will hit twice and cause a wall bounce.
G Smash Under is like G Smash Over, but it must be blocked low and causes a knockdown. At level three, it hits twice.
G Burst is a downward molten projectile. While powered up at level three, there will be some sort of splash effect when it touches the ground. Following this, magma will shoot at an upward angle.
G Spin Kick causes G to kick downwards at an angle while airborne. Projectile invulnerability is gained with level three.
G impact is a command grab that has follow ups. With level three Presidentiality level, this command grab dishes out more hits and damage. The opponent will be launched.
Message to the People causes G to deliver a speech that gains Critical Art meter. This is unaffected by G's Presidentiality level.
Note that G Charge can be cancelled into from some of his special moves.
G's V-Skill — G Barrier
G will emit a force field around his body. If the opponent makes contact with this force field, they'll be launched.
Juggles are possible with G's V-Skill. This can even be used while airborne. Finally, it's capable of absorbing projectiles.
G's V-Trigger 1 — Maximum President
G's first V-Trigger becomes available with three bars of V-gauge. While active, all special moves are automatically powered up as though G's Presidentiality level was at its maximum effect.
The G Barrier is now capable of being thrown like a projectile. This can even be done in the air!
G's V-Trigger 2 — Dangerous President
Here is G's two bar V-gauge option. G gains access to a brand new mode while in this state. It's called "G Explosion."
Activate by pressing heavy punch and heavy kick at the same time. Any special move can be cancelled into G Explosion. This will launch the opponent.
G Rage is also available. This is a command grab that has a hit of armor.
G's Critical Art — Pangaea Burst
G points his finger at the ground then shoots beam from that finger. The ground will begin erupting in a line. The opponent will obviously take big damage if caught in this.
Sagat General Information
Sagat is back with many of his iconic and classic special moves. He doesn't need to go into V-Trigger in order to use his Tiger Shots!
Grand Tiger Shot — formerly known as the Low Tiger Shot — is capable of hitting crouching opponents. The trade off is that it deals less damage and is less safe.
It wouldn't be Sagat without his Tiger Uppercut. The same could be said of his Tiger Knee Crush.
Sagat's V-Skill — Angry Charge
Remember Sagat's Angry Scar special in Super Street Fighter 4? This technique returns as Sagat's V-Skill.
Using this causes Sagat to power up his next Tiger Uppercut. Damage and stun is increased as a result.
Sagat's V-Trigger 1 — Tiger Charge
This is Sagat's three bar V-Trigger. This is activated by pressing heavy punch and heavy kick at the same time after the initial trigger.
Sagat throws out a powerful, multi-hit Tiger Cannon by doing this. This can cancelled into from any of Sagat's normal attacks.
Sagat's V-Trigger 2 — Tiger Assault
now for Sagat's two bar V-Trigger. Tiger Spike is unlocked.
By pressing heavy punch and heavy kick at the same time, Sagat will perform a spin kick that has armor on its start up. Hold the buttons for its max duration for guard crush properties.
Tiger Rush is performed by pressing forward, heavy punch, and heavy kick at the same time. This is essentially an alternate version of Sagat's Tiger Knee special move.
Sagat's Critical Art — Tiger Rampage
A standard Critical Art that deals big damage through a series of punches and kicks. Sagat keeps it flashy by finishing the opponent with a flaming Tiger Uppercut.

why Kaylan Rexer is Not Accepting the Status Quo
Kaylan Rexer, Brand Director for Ilegal Mezcal, talks about the importance of having a strong team, why you should put your cell phone down and not accepting the status quo.
Kaylan Rexer
Occupations, affiliations, and projects.
Brand Director for Ilegal Mezcal
I think more than anything it scares me not to "do". Staying stagnant is terrifying and boring. Doing what I'm passionate about connects me to so many different people, places and ideas that are outside the bubble of New York.
Tell me more about the importance of Ilegal Mezcal's brand voice and message?
It is the most important thing about Ilegal. I think most people drinking Ilegal obviously enjoy the product but also feel connected to what the brand stands for. Our core message is not just a tag line, it is real and it certainly shows what side we are on. It is also pretty clear we like to have fun.
To date, what accomplishments are you most proud of?
Ilegal's Donald Eres Un Pendejo campaign. We launched it in 2015 two days after Donald Trump announced he was running for the presidency. We have raised a lot of money for charity through it and in 2017 we won a Gold Honor Shorty Award for Brand Identity. Unfortunately the campaign is still relevant.
#1 motivating mantra to get through tough moments.
Pour me an Ilegal. Honestly I'm not sure I have a mantra. I work with amazing people, who have become like family. In tough moments they are my sounding board and release.
What's your favorite thing you've learned so far this year?
Delegating and releasing some control. That does not mean I'm great at it yet...still learning.
What's your favorite lesson you've ever learned?
Be yourself and put others in the spotlight.
What's your go-to song to put you in a better mood?
Favorite method for logging any kind of inspiration.
I have Dropbox folders...with more folders in them. I usually take a photo or screen shot and organize things there. I also have stacks of marble notebooks that I have written in since I was a child.
Top 5 people you would invite to a dinner party.
Victoria, Marie, Patricia, Louise and Elizabeth. My five fathers sisters, my aunts. They are some of the funniest, brightest and strongest women I know. Everyone lives in different places (all still New Yorkers at heart) and it is rare we are all in the same place at the same time. It would be both fun and grounding to be around a dinner together. Also I'd have to throw in a sixth person and invite my little sister Lindsay.
What's the best piece of advice that you can give someone right now?
Put your cell phone down. You do not become better at anything in your life by being attached to it. Not your job or your personal relationships. A lot of my ideas have come from being able to be present.
3 words that you want to be remembered by.
Generous, Fun, Passionate
What's the next goal?
I have always felt like my number one job is to build a community around the brand and create environments where people have genuine connections with the product. So the goal is to continue to grow Ilegal's community and push the limits with our messaging. I have a few other projects but I can't talk about them yet…stay tuned.
By "do-ing", you create your own unique legacy. How do you want your legacy to look?
As part of a community that did not accept the status quo, who created something lasting and beautiful.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Already cautious on a sector that has been plagued by dismal sales, J.P. Morgan analyst David Bradley took his sales forecasts for the auto group even lower Thursday as November looked to provide little relief.
Bradley he lowered his forecast for the seasonally adjusted annual rate of sales (SAAR) for November by 400,000 units, or 3 percent, to 15.3 million.
"We suspect demand will remain weak through the remainder of 2002 with adverse consequences for the group," he told clients. He cited talks with industry contacts indicating that light vehicle demand during the month would be weaker than anticipated.
Despite the negative comments, however, the group was generally higher in afternoon trade Thursday as the broader market rallied.
Based on the lighter sales forecast, Bradley said he expects the Big Three dealers will be carrying excess inventory at the end of the year. That will put first-quarter production schedules at risk and, in turn, adversely impact the group's earnings potential.
As of the end of October, Bradley noted that Chrysler dealer inventories were 31 days above average at 97 days supply, while inventories at Ford were 14 days above average at 79 days supply.
"Given weak industry demand and the difficulty in changing near-term production schedules, we do not see the Big Three being able to significantly reduce inventory levels between now and the end of the year," he said.
The expected production cuts prompted Bradley to lower his first-quarter estimate for Ford F, +0.44% to a loss of 5 cents a share from earnings of 10 cents, and for General Motors GM, -1.26% to earnings of 95 cents a share from $1.15. DaimlerChrysler, also expected to be hurt, is covered out of Europe at J.P. Morgan, where analyst Himanshu Patel is still working on the changes.
Ford on Thursday gave a financial update on its pension plan obligations brought on by declining stocks over the past two years. See full story.
Bradley also sees the impact of the production cuts trickling down to the earnings of suppliers.
Bradley expects the greatest risk will be to Chrysler and Ford's production schedules, so he lowered his estimates for their primary suppliers including Visteon, Tower Automotive and Dana.
For Dana DCN, +0.33% and Visteon VC, +1.50% Bradley's respective first-quarter 2003 forecasts dropped to earnings of 23 cents from 30 cents and a loss of 5 cents a share from breakeven. He rates both companies "underweight."
Estimates were also cut for Cooper Tire & Rubber CTB, +0.22%, Lear LEA, -1.15%, Magna Intl. MGA, -0.97% and Delphi DPH, +1.90%. The average percent change was 17 percent.
Bradley lowered his earnings forecast for Tower Automotive TWR, -1.03% by 28 percent, to 21 cents a share from 29 cents because of its above-average exposure to Daimler Chrysler and Ford. He also downgraded the stock to "neutral" from "overweight" because of weak industry demand.
But he said he remains positive about the company's valuation and its strong longer-term earnings growth potential, and was prepared to upgrade on evidence of a strengthening in market fundamentals.
Though Bradley is relatively bullish on the group in the longer term, he recommends that investors avoid auto stocks with high operating and financial leverage during the current slump. In addition to Dana, these include ArvinMeritor ARM, +0.00% and Goodyear GT, +0.73%, which are rated "neutral" and "underweight," respectively.
For investors "needing" to maintain exposure to auto stocks, he recommends Johnson Controls JCI, +1.38% because of its high-quality balance sheet. He also likes Gentex GNTX, +0.02% and BorgWarner BWA, -0.81%, and believes their underlying secular growth trends will help them outperform their peers in this slowdown. Bradley rates all three "overweight."

Secret Corners
I vividly remember this day. It was hot and I thought I would be a hero and see all of Monaco on foot. What I didn't realize was that its hillside terrain would prove to be both incredibly beautiful and challenging at the same time.
I discovered places I would not have imagined I would venture to because a) I was tired and needed rest b) I was lost. The photograph above was taken at the top of the hillside inside of a cactus garden, overlooking the ocean.
As a succulent, Cacti speak a separate language and emit a different energy from the rest of natural plant life. They are still in form, quiet in spirit, and somewhat aloof in temperament.
I can relate to them. -tM

Building a house isn't the main thing you must be stressed over. The genuine issue begins with regards to keeping up your home in great condition. Since moistness in houses is a standard issue and influences your life, you have to ensure that this issue is dealt with immediately. What you can do is buy a dehumidifier for whole house and place in a corner where it doesn't make any issue for any part. There are a lot of routes through which you can purchase a decent dehumidifier and have an extraordinary general affair. At the same time, remember these focuses to maintain a strategic distance from any issue at all-
Quality Matters The Most
It's the subject of your wellbeing and general solace, so don't leave any stone with regards to purchasing a dehumidifier. At whatever point the time comes, and you need to influence a call, to proceed with a phenomenal quality item than the one costing you a less. Keep in mind, you can simply compensate for the additional cash, however you can't compensate for the nature of the item once it's purchased. Thus, forgo yourself bargaining with the quality at any cost. Go for the best item accessible in the market with no misgiving.
Take Second Opinion
Don't simply ahead and purchase a dehumidifier without knowing anything about it. On the off chance that you need to lay hands on the best entire house dehumidifier, at that point take the assistance of your companions or relatives who purchased dehumidifier in the current past. Since they've effectively utilized the item, they are in a greatly improved position than you to judge its execution. Taking their data sources will enable you to raise the correct choice in hell free way.
By and large, it's anything but difficult to purchase a decent dehumidifier in the event that you remember some essential things and tail them immediately. Along these lines, give careful consideration to both the above focuses and get wanted results each and every time without confronting any kind of inconvenience or burden at whatever point you choose to bring home another dehumidifier.

Brattleboro Museum & Art Center presents Michael Poster
BRATTLEBORO, VT -- An upcoming photography exhibit and series of related events organized by the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center (BMAC) in Brattleboro, Vermont, shed light on what it takes to recover from addiction, a daunting challenge facing individuals, families, and communities throughout the United States.
Supported in part by the Vermont Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts, and sponsored by the Brattleboro Retreat, "If she has a pulse, she has a chance" consists of 32 photographic portraits of Vermonters recovering from addiction and 13 printed text panels containing gripping first-person narratives by people in recovery (selected images here). The photographs were taken and narratives collected by documentary photographer Michael Poster at Turning Point of Windham County, a downtown Brattleboro community center for those whose lives have been affected by addiction.
Of Poster's work, Turning Point Executive Director Suzie Walker says, "I've had a front-row seat to watching Michael collect recovery portraits and stories the last couple of years. He has captured the hope and promise of recovery in a compelling and compassionate way, and people have been thrilled to open up to him. I'm eager to see how our community responds to the good news of recovery, as lived by these brave people every day."
The title of the exhibit is drawn from something Poster once heard from a friend who helps opioid users get medically assisted treatment: "I refuse to give up on her. You just never know when someone will be ready to change. The way I see it, if she has a pulse, she has a chance."
The exhibit opens October 5 in BMAC's Center Gallery and remains on view through January 7. During that time, BMAC, in partnership with the Brattleboro Retreat, Turning Point, and Groundworks Collaborative, will present four free public events (see list below) aimed at galvanizing constructive conversation about addiction and recovery.
An opening reception for "If she has a pulse, she has a chance" will take place at BMAC on Friday, October 5 at 5:30 p.m. during Brattleboro's monthly Gallery Walk. The reception is free and open to the public. Four other exhibits will open concurrently. Alcohol will not be served.
For more information, visit www.brattleboromuseum.org or call 802-257-0124, ext. 101.
As a documentary photographer, Michael Poster creates portraits of communities, often spending years getting to know his subjects and developing the trust required to take their pictures and record their stories. Poster's previous projects have included documenting life in Montrose, Pennsylvania, a town thrown into upheaval by gas fracking, and on Basin Farm, a messianic community in Bellows Falls, Vermont.
Poster's connection to his newest body of work, "If She Has A Pulse, She Has A Chance," is a deeply personal one. Poster himself is a recovering addict, and he regularly volunteers at Turning Point of Windham County.
"I often get close to the people I photograph, but it's unusual for me to become involved in a subject connected to my own life," says Poster. "As a young man I was addicted to heroin. In 1970 I left everything and everyone I knew in Philadelphia and moved to Derby, Vermont. With the help of methadone and new friends, I began the long process of recovery and personal reinvention. Now, forty-seven years later, I volunteer at Turning Point. When I'm not facilitating group recovery meetings, I make photographs of the people I meet and listen to their stories."
By partnering with the Brattleboro Retreat, Turning Point, and Groundworks Collaborative, BMAC hopes to foster deeper understanding of the complex interrelationships among mental health, homelessness, addiction, and recovery, as well as greater awareness of the community resources available for each. To that end, representatives of the partnering organizations, with assistance from Communicators Group, a marketing communications agency in Keene, N.H., have conceived of a "web of recovery" that will be depicted in graphic form on one of the exhibit walls.
Michael Poster, photographer:
"Most people think of recovery as the act of changing from a state of sickness to a state of health. In other words, of being sick and getting well. I get that. But there's another way of looking at the word that makes more sense to me... Let's say you lost something of value or it's been stolen from you, or you threw it away. Recovery is the act of retrieving that thing, of getting it back in your possession and under your control."
Louis Josephson, President & CEO, Brattleboro Retreat:
"It's important to appreciate the fact that people who struggle with addiction are our neighbors, friends, and family members. Michael Poster's photographs bring that message home and remind us that courage, hope, and determination are powerful forces in the process of recovery."
Joshua Davis, Executive Director, Groundworks Collaborative:
"This project is of particular importance given the cross-sector nature of putting on a show at the Museum that focuses on people's stories of recovery. I'm excited for Groundworks to be involved, and I look forward to actively participating in a wide range of gatherings and conversations in the fall around our community's response to recovery efforts."
All events take place at the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center.

This is a waste of eggs butter and the fuel it took to make these. they don't melt in your mouth and theres no way they twist into a figure eight. Very BAD.
Turned out well, I made mine in the shape of hearts cause the figures eights kept breaking on me. Also REALLY important...I think the 4 1/2 cups of cornstarch seemed like it might be incorrect,...

Resistance is making an excuse as to why you can't possibly take 10 minutes out of your day and do one thing! RESISTANCE is the BIGGEST ENERGY DRAIN OF ALL! IT IS THE ROOT CAUSE, THE MOTHER OF ALL ENERGY DRAINS.
So, consider this: If you don't have any energy, maybe you have let your resistance rule – maybe you are giving it space, air, and and maybe you are feeding it with a long list of heavy problems you do not want to address.
When you play hide and seek with your problems, you become unable to move – you are a prisoner – you gave all the power to your problem and now you are STUCK!
What you resist persists.
Today, let's take a little bit of time to find just one small area of resistance and let it go. If you want to be ambitious, and takle something big - go for it - but if the thought of NOT resisting makes you even more tired than the resistance itself, it might be a better idea to go for something small.

Changes on the site!
I've re-titled the various STREET submenu tabs, just for aesthetics. I've also created a new page, FASHION, which is where I'll place all my model photography.
Because I always like to include I visual aid, here's an old timelapse I shot soon after I got my Nikon D600. I loved the fact is had the firmware to do in body timelapse without any extra tools. And....

When one piece leads me automatically to another version, I feel as if I'm going in a good direction. It was so with yesterday's image. As I was stitching it, I was already planning today's. No need to change out the essential imagery: in fact, I wanted to see the same image rendered in a different way.
I started with black fabric, and used only one color thread, relying on the line work and high contrast for drama.

Holiday Reading Plans
1 comment:
No special holiday reading plans. I just read whatever I'm able to get on my TBR list.ReplyDelete
Last year, the day before New Year's Eve, my mom, stepdad, and I took a trip to visit my grandparents on Mom's side of the family. As Mom and Stepdad like flea marketing, we looked around in at least one on the way over. Normally, either none of us find anything or they find stuff and I don't. The exact opposite of the latter happened at the time as I had found some books, which were eventually registered with Bookcrossing, and in January amongst the first books to be listed on my reading blog. (They were all released after I had read them, but I think I only heard back on one of them.)
Depending on what I end up doing over the Christmas holiday (either staying here or visiting my dad's side of the family), I may or may not have time to read. What I end up reading if time permits remains to be seen.

XL Middleton - From The Vaults Vol. 2 (CD)
In California, 80's funk and 90's west coast hip hop have always been clearly intertwined," says CA native producer/funkster XL Middleton. "If you were into one, you were almost always into the other. As the modern funk movement has grown worldwide, I've seen a great interest taken in 80's funk, or boogie, as some people refer to it. A lot of them don't realize the connection - in the 90's, when funk as a genre fell largely off the radar, west coast hip hop kept it alive by sampling it so heavily." It's this connection that XL seeks to reestablish. It's something he feels has become forgotten because, as he puts it, "so many new fans of boogie and modern funk are coming from house or underground hip hop backgrounds. They're going from J Dilla to D-Train; from 9th Wonder to Midnight Star. It's an interesting transition. What I seek to do is to change the perception of what people consider 'g-funk.' I don't want it to be thought of as threatening, unfriendly music. The production was often very sophisticated, and that feel - the sun shining, top down, riding past the palm trees feel - is something that's still prevalent in funk today. I want people to see those roots."
To that effect, XL's "From The Vaults Vol. 2" is a collection of previously unreleased songs that run the gamut of all things considered funk. Some of the songs feature XL's signature rapping style, while others find him singing notes in his unpolished, yet undeniably funky tone. Other songs on the album are fully instrumental, allowing XL to let the synths speak instead. Songs like "Standin By Yaself" effectively retool the slick, danceable sound of boogie, circa 1984, while more midtempo jams such as "I Can't Be Cool" decisively channel the mood of a Warren G production from the mid-90's. None of it is pastiche, however. Middleton generally avoids what he calls the "84 Style," a label that can applied to new funk that seeks to imitate the old, without innovating or elevating the sound at all. "We know where our blueprints come from, and so does everyone who follows the genre. It's not doing much for modern funk as a movement to just be duplicating our favorite records from the 80's. You've got to put your own, fresh twist on it. That's why it's called 'modern' funk.

A Pancoast tumor, also called a pulmonary sulcus tumor or superior sulcus tumor, is a tumor of the pulmonary apex. It is a type of lung cancer defined primarily by its location situated at the top end of either the right or left lung. It typically spreads to nearby tissues such as the ribs and vertebrae. Most Pancoast tumors are non-small cell cancers.
The growing tumor can cause compression of a brachiocephalic vein, subclavian artery, phrenic nerve, recurrent laryngeal nerve, vagus nerve, or, characteristically, compression of a sympathetic ganglion resulting in a range of symptoms known as Horner's syndrome.
Pancoast tumors are named for Henry Pancoast, a US radiologist, who described them in 1924 and 1932.

Looking for the Next Step in Your Personal or Professional Development?
The source of all the great ideas presented in this seminar series is our nine-month certificate program, Generating Transformative Change (GTC). Since the first GTC program was offered in 2004, it has developed into one of the most powerful, awakening, and mature learning journeys available today. The curriculum incorporates a many-faceted approach to learning, including leading cognitive theory, experiential learning and supported experiments in new ways of being and affecting transformation. Our faculty bring decades of experience in education, psychology, business, leadership and adult development. Participants range in age from their 20's to 60's and attend from all over the world, exchanging ideas, learning from experience and sharing deep commonalities and wisdom.
According to research measures, our graduates leave our program leading, being, embodying and acting on average from one to two later stages of development than when they started. These later stages combine steady mindfulness of inner states, natural ability to see from multiple perspectives, altruism, new levels of creativity, and greater authenticity. These new ways of thinking and seeing allow participants to move through their personal and professional lives with fresh eyes and greater ease, while remaining in integrity with what is kind, just and true.
The transformations that you heard about in this seminar series are what is possible through participation in the GTC program. If you're intrigued, we encourage you to learn more and apply to join us this year.
This short video provides a close look at what GTC is and how it accelerates individual development, from the participants and faculty in a recent GTC program.

Trespasser on Britney's property arrested
Washington, April 17 (ANI): A woman was arrested on Thursday for trespassing on pop diva Britney Spears' property in Calabasas.
Private security noticed 26-year-old Miranda Tozier-Robbins peeping inside the windows of the singer's house. Britney was not home at the time.
The woman was wearing camouflage fatigues and carrying a backpack and video camera, say reports.
Tozier-Robbins is likely a fan of Britney, who moved into the property in January, for as a woman by the same name is said to have left comments on the singer's official site as recently as April 11.
According to Us magazine, cops were called after the woman turned down their requests to leave. The police physically escorted her off the property.
Tozier-Robbins was later taken to a local police station, where she was booked on charges of trespassing and disorderly conduct.
Although bail was set at 5,000 dollars, she was released on a citation.
Tozier-Robbins - a resident of the Inglewood, California, neighbourhood - will appear in court on June 16. (ANI)

I've already talking about my adventures in the glorious local 'hood, West End where Century Plaza is but there are so many areas of Vancouver, ranging from 'good for a visit,' 'worth investigating' to 'want to live here'. Kitsiliano (want to live here)
My first visit in 2012 also meant the discovery of one of our faves 49th Street Parallel along with the ludicrously expensive Whole Foods. This was one of my NYC supermarkets so more nostalgia than anything - and they sell 49th St coffee beans. Kits is definitely up and coming (AKA expensive) but then what area of Vancouver isn't know? We grabbed our ridiculously expensive box of noodles from the hot deli counter and walked away from the main street, sat on a quiet bench and toasted our fortune to have come here.
From Kits, we walked into Granville Island (good for a visit), deja vu for me as I'd gone there on my first day in Vancouver last year too. Apart from the gorgeous indoor public market that spills out to the amazing views, the place is an enclave for arts and crafts. I love the floating houses and long to live in one, if only I wasn't scared of water.
Closer to home again is Yaletown (want to live here). The area full of boutique independent shops and services (a lot of waxing salons - for men and women!) is a mixed bag as there are also the chain pubs and coffee shops. The advantage/disadvantage is that it's home to The Cross, one of my favourite shops to browse in. I would take any offers to move in.
Further down town is Gastown, (good for a visit) one of the most tourist-driven parts of the city, situated as it is on the northern-most coast of down town Vancouver. It's become even more this way just in the last 12 months but the views up the coast of the stunning Vancouver Conference centre, modelled on Sydney Opera House, with a roof top garden.
I have driven through Stanley Park before, it's the route to Grouse Mountain for one but this is the first time I've spent time in this glorious, vast park (bigger than Central Park).
We happen to be there on a glorious Sunday
when Vancouver Marathon was on. What wonderful views undertake a race in! Not that it tempts me but it tempted many, including quite a few seasoned runners that stayed in our hotel.
Just at the edge of the park is Coal Harbour (want to live here) again another new area that I hadn't got round to visiting
before (both of these seemed so far away but it turns out they're easily walkable!). Coal Harbour has beautiful views and we were entertained for quite some time by watching the sea planes taking of from the Harbour. This is where the yacht clubs are which is evident from the designer shops that lined the street from our West End neighbourhood to here.
East Vancouver (want to live here) has its Commercial Drive, known simply as the Drive. This is the area I warmed to last time because of its vintage shops, coffee houses and the fact that we're only 10 minutes from down town Vancouver and into an old Italian community. Add to this yet another new coffee-house, the Italian tinged Renzo.
I get the impression this area is still up and coming and therefore still affordable but I imagine it will catch up with Kits by my next visit. Over the water, on the ferry to North Vancouver, (worth investigating) which is worth it for the views alone and makes it even more like going to New Jersey from Manhattan. Similarly, because of the views, lots of new high buildings are under construction (lots of new buildings being built everywhere in Vancouver but it's being done very cleanly and neatly). These however, seem to be as expensive as down town possibly as the ferry over is about 10 minutes and of course the stunning views of down town and the Rockies. It feels a little bit 'bankers wives' to me. The area has a few vintage places and the Cafe of Contemporary Art plus Moodyvilles, the old school cafe for breakfast - all of which I also visited last time. I'm envisaging an explosion of coffee shops here next visit.
