The Isley Brothers "3 + 3" (1973)
The first revelation is the re-recording of "That Lady", a song that had been in the Isley Brothers back catalogue for 10 years. The extended jam and Ernie Isley's ecstatic lead gives the song a remarkable resonance that brilliantly invents new silks from old threads. Their version of Seals And Croft's tepid "Summer Breeze" adds the beautiful vocal harmonies that came so naturally to the brothers, and for this reviewer is THE definitive interpretation of the song. The heartfelt "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight" harks to their former glories without a hint of cliché. "If You Were There" is simple joyful pop, and their version of The Doobie Brothers "Listen To The Music" bravely pumps up the funk for a new take on a tried and trusted tune. It's all here, in triplicate, and without doubt constitutes one of the most entertaining soul albums of the 70s. "3 + 3" is The Isley Brothers watershed moment. –Ben H

Phil Manzanera/801 "801 Live" (1976)
Not your every day live album, 801 Live captures the supergroup featuring ex-Roxy Musicians Phil Manzanera and Brian Eno in one of their few performances. Featuring all the sonic detail, colorful guitar and synthesizer tones, and high-class musicianship you'd expect from such a lineup, another pleasant surprise here is the excellent recording, which almost sounds more like a studio album. A subtle, delicate style informs many of these performances, highlighting tracks from Eno and Manzanera's early solo albums, the Quiet Sun album, and skewed reworkings of "Tomorrow Never Knows" and "You Really Got Me." Brainy and electronic, but warm and human as well, 801 Live is an essential purchase for fans of the musicians involved, or seventies art-rock in general. –Ben

The Velvet Underground "1969: The Velvet Underground Live with Lou Reed" (1974)
1969: The Velvet Underground Live with Lou Reed has always been a VU fan favorite, but it's overshadowed by the band's iconic studio catalog. Misguided marketing and lame packaging are also to blame for its somewhat limited cult status. Released in 1974, during the most lucrative period of Lou Reed's solo career, Mercury's insistence on using his name in the title implied that other members of the VU were little more than his backing band, which couldn't be further from the truth. The inner gatefold spread is also misleading, depicting an earlier and different (in both sound and appearance) incarnation of the band. Finally there's the cover itself, which, in the immortal words of Patti Smith, "eats shit". Despite this indifferent misrepresentation, this record is the first and last word in any discussion about the Velvet Underground as a live act. Almost all of the band's classics are here, given new life---sometimes even bettered---by Reed's remarkably expressive vocals (one pines for the days when he actually sang), Sterling Morrison's precision guitar work, Mo Tucker's majestically simplistic drumming, and the melodic bass-playing of the most under-appreciated VU member, Doug Yule. Surprisingly large amounts of live VU performances were recorded, but this collection---the bulk of which was culled from a multi-night engagement at a tiny club in Dallas---has the best sound quality of any that have survived. It's a different sound than the sharp and crackly production of the 1967 "Banana" LP: bluesier, and with a bottom that rattles the windows and shakes the floors. It's the sound of a band that's been honing its craft in divey clubs and ballrooms across the US for over a year, and which, during the last few months of the 60's, delivers the best live Rock and Roll show on either side of the Mississippi. –Richard P

XTC "English Settlement" (1982)
Considering how perfect this album is I've always felt that it was around the release of English Settlement that it all started going wrong for XTC. An overstressed and exhausted Andy Partridge was overtaken by stage-fright and suffered a breakdown soon after the album's release. As a result the album passed relatively unnoticed. How huge could this band have been if given the opportunity to publicise and tour English Settlement? How huge could this band have been if Partridge had ever been able to overcome his fear? Tragic really.
Even though Colin Moulding contributes the ska rhythms of "English Roundabout", the twisted "Fly On The Wall" and the excellent "Ball And Chain", English Settlement really is Partridge's album. "Senses Working Overtime" would provide the band with their only top ten single. "All Of A Sudden (It's Too Late)" is simply sublime. "Yacht Dance" is a mix of pure pop and English folk and Dave Gregory's Spanish guitar is a revelation and the flamenco rhythms continue to ripple through anti-gun rant "Melt The Guns". "It's Nearly Africa" brings the sounds of that continent into XTC's quaintly weird world and "Snowman" takes what is well-worn subject matter for a song – a crumbling relationship – and comes at it from an unusual perspective.
English Settlement is a fabulous album but, amazingly, still isn't the high point for XTC but, as an example of the quintessential English band playing the quintessential English eccentrics, it's difficult to beat. –Ian

Queen "Jazz" (1978)
So..is "Jazz" really that bad ? Quite honestly, no it isn't , it's actually a good album. Ostensibly, it is the most diverse Queen album up to that period but much of the material is strong, entertaining, and one gets the impression that the band enjoyed "stretching themselves", both musically and generically. The fun element of this recording comes through on songs like the macho Rocker "Fat Bottomed Girls", the magnificent multi tracked Vocal arrangement on "Bicycle Race", and the double entendre filled "Don't Stop Me Now", a whirling soaring Pop/Rock song on speed, and easily the best cut from the album. Freddie's ballad "Jealousy" is gentle and sweetly performed and works well as does Brian May's "Leaving Home Ain't Easy". The Roger Taylor songs are pretty bad ("Fun It", clunky Disco Rock) and ("More Of That Jazz", badly edited reprise music) and the John Deacon song "In Only Seven Days" seems like an act of appeasement so that all the band members can be recognised as song contributors.
"Jazz" really needs to be re-considered as a good album that was dumbed down by a Rock press who really didn't understand that every top Rock band needs to diversify at some stage in their career, and although this isn't Queen's best work, it is at times both fun and entertaining. –Ben H

Isn't butternut squash delicious?
Aren't sweet potatoes divine?
Don't you adore a Granny Smith apple?
Aren't garlic, ginger and red curry among the most tasty flavors?
And don't you just dream of combining them all in one yum-o soup?
I thought so. And so I bring you Butternut Squash soup. Mmm.
I also made a salad to accompany said soup. The croutons I made from leftover French bread (remember that recipe?). I also made the buttermilk dressing, but I wouldn't put that tasteless sludge in my recipe box and so I will not provide you with the recipe. Don't cry, toots! I'll make a better buttermilk dressing another day.
Spiced Butternut Soup
from December 2010 Southern Living
2 tablespoons butter
1 large sweet onion, diced
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons finely grated ginger
1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled and cubed
4 cups turkey broth
2 bay leaves
1-1/2 teaspoon red curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
3/4 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Salt & Pepper
Melt butter in a large Dutch oven; add onion and bell pepper and sauté 8 minutes or until onion is golden.
Stir in garlic, ginger, squash, sweet potato, apple, turkey broth, bay leaves, red curry powder and pepper.
Add 4 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool 20-30 minutes.
Process soup, in batches, in a blender until smooth.
Return soup to Dutch oven and add cream. Simmer over low heat until warm.
1 cup French bread, cubed
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 clove garlic, minced finely
Toss bread cubes in butter, paprika and garlic. Place under broiler and toast until golden brown.

Istanbul Police Detain 36 Suspected Daesh Militants
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Turkey's official news agency says Istanbul police have detained 36 people as alleged members of the Daesh (also known as ISIL or ISIS) group.
- September, 23, 2017 - 17:26
- Other Media
- Comments
The Anadolu news agency reported Saturday that anti-terror police conducted simultaneous raids at 15 different addresses in Istanbul to apprehend five suspects who allegedly had travelled to Iraq and Syria for Daesh, AP reported.
The news agency says 31 of the people detained are foreigners. There was no information on their nationalities.
Several deadly attacks in Turkey that killed more than 300 people since 2015 have been blamed on ISIL.
Along with combatting the extremist group's cells inside its borders, Turkey launched a military operation in northern Syria in August 2016 to clear the border zone of ISIL members after a suicide bomb ripped through a street wedding in Turkey's Gaziantep province.

Devon Agreed Syllabus for Religious Education 2014
This syllabus is dedicated to the memory of Terence Copley; Professor of Religious Education at the University of Exeter 1997 – 2007. His example as a teacher and his prolific output as a writer continue to inspire us. He certainly inspired me.
It asks for 5% curriculum time – though I thought this was no longer allowed because schools were free to manage their curriculum how they like.
The 6 strands are still in place.
The attainment target Engaging with Religions and Worldviews brings together the two former attainment targets.
Humanism starts to get a look-in at Key Stage 2.
The Programmes of study are similar to those in other syllabuses but a lot of stuff previously in Key Stage 4 is now at KS3.
There is no provision for KS4 or Post-16. There should be because many schools are now preferring non-exam to the boring new GCSE and A'level syllabuses.

|God First Loved Us
|12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
|13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
|14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
|15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
|16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
|4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
|2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
|3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
|4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
|5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
|6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
|7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
|8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
|9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
|10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
|11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
|12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
|13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
|14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
|15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
|16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
|17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
|18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
|19 We love him, because he first loved us.
|20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
|21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

A new volunteer-led organization, Fleet Farming, is transforming under-used yards into working farms, producing delicious fruits and vegetables. The bounty is then sold at local markets, and 100% of the sales go back into the organization.
'It's estimated that the average American meal travels about 1,500 miles to get from farm to plate, according to the Center for Urban Education about Sustainable Agriculture. Globally, up to one-third of greenhouse gas emissions comes from the food and agriculture industry.
"One of the goals for the program is to help reduce these alarming numbers," said Michele Bumbier, the organization's program manager.' Read more here.

The polls indicate that the race is tightening up. Obama seems to have a lead in the Electoral College, although even that is less assured today than in was three weeks ago. It is increasingly likely that either the national vote total or the Electoral College be decided by a very small percentage of voters.
So with that in mind, here are some things that could change the outcome of the election in any given state. None of these things have anything at all to do with policy, leadership style, resume, or really anything that ought to be relevant in a rational sense. And yet, if the election is close, any one of them could determine who becomes President of the United States.
When It Rains, It Pours
There are some voters who will vote, no matter what else happens. Those voters tend to lean Republican (although this varies wildly depending on where you live). Then there is a much larger group of people that votes in some years, but not in others; these are the people who give pollsters fits, and they tend to lean Democrat (although, again, this varies wildly depending on where you live). Bad weather (rain, snow or cold) can cause fewer people in that second group to vote; after all, when the weather outside is nasty, who wants to go out in it, unless they are particularly committed? The lesson: Romney is more likely to win Ohio if it rains (or snows) across that state on Nov. 6.
Who Wants to Go First?
People are lazy, and not just in a "too lazy to get off the couch and work out" kind of way. They are also lazy in a "too lazy to read to the end of a sentence" kind of way. We accommodate our laziness by "satisficing" -- picking the first reasonable alternative that we see. This is how some people choose which pair of socks to wear, which jug of milk to buy, and which song to listen to on their iPods. It's also how a small percentage of undecided voters will choose who ought to be president. Candidates get more votes when they are listed first on the ballot than when they are listed second on the ballot, and of course every state determines ballot order differently. In Ohio, ballot order is randomized by precinct. In Florida, Romney will be listed first, because the current governor of Florida is a Republican. In Wisconsin, statewide ballot order is determined by lottery: this year Romney is first and Obama is second.
Don't Worry, Be Happy
As a general rule, the more discontented you feel about the state of the world, the more likely you are to vote for the challenger. The more satisfied and happy you are about the state of the world, the more you are likely to vote for the incumbent. After all, if you are happy with how things are going, the president must be doing something right!
So, if we are making a list of factors that could affect the election, maybe we should make a list of things that make a lot of people who all live in the same place happy at the same time:
- The weather. We already mentioned that bad weather can cause "likely" (or "unlikely," as the case may be) voters to decide that they'd rather stay home, warm and dry. But the weather also has an impact on people's moods. Sunny days make people feel happier; when it's gloomier outside, people feel gloomier inside. And yes, this can actually affect our most important decisions: UMass professor Ed Saunders once demonstrated that a sunny day in New York can cause investor optimism and therefore lead to a bump in the New York Stock Exchange. This means that, once again, Obama is hoping for a sunny day on Tuesday.
- If you live in Columbus, Ohio, what is the best news that you can possibly get during any given fall day? That the Ohio State football team just won, of course! We discussed in a previous blog how American Olympic success leads to better poll numbers for incumbents. Another study has shown that this is true at the local level as well -- when the home team wins on the weekend before the election, incumbents see a small increase in voter support. And for the presidential election, keep an eye on the teams from the battleground states; if you are an Obama supporter, you just may want to root for the Packers over the Cardinals this weekend.
- Traffic. Traffic is worse on some days than others, and tends to affect a large swath of people all at once. And there is no greater source of frustration for anyone with a long commute than a bad traffic day. If a couple of accidents create major gridlock in Denver, Philadelphia, or Richmond on Election Day, that will hurt Obama.
For those of you who are interested in seeing how some of these factors might play out in the battleground states, we've created a handy chart. Use it to see who is gaining the latest "unfair" advantage, so you know exactly what is to blame in case your candidate loses.
Of course, if the election is a blow-out, we can safely say that none of these things mattered. But if the presidency is decided by a couple of percentage points, especially if it is decided by a couple percentage points in a small state... well, then any or all of these things could end up playing a role in determining the next President of the United States. Isn't that a scary thought?

i miss the boy D:
he's gone to mongoliaaaaa…
i told him a zillion times, i wish i could go tooooo…
then being stuck in Singapore doing projects in school :(
i was caught procrastinating by LALA! (angela)
hahah, i was procrastinating by cleaning my laptop.
well if one is cleaning laptop at such times, it's weird, super weird.
it's a state of denial.
19 Nov will mark a closure for this semester …
there's lots to do, and one thought I want to leave behind is …
living out the life God wants you to, is real tough.
in the secular environment i'm in.
But it's worth it, every little thing you do, it's worth it sam!
But was interesting, when my friend told me this, it's weird that the evangelists these days start off with a note on 'do you feel anything lacking in your life? ' and their response was '….. these people are too free, what in the world are they doing?'
Perhaps, the artsy people would love the gospel to be preached in their faces and creating a discussion. Honestly, I think that's how we are like. Logical and evidence to support what you say. A free expression of views. :)
It's been a while to sit back, write and review my thoughts, it's been months.
I've not wrote in my journal, I barely could even reflect deeply.
I guess, it's my personal routine to write in the journal as a form of reflection, but reflecting it in the mind, I do it. But it's just that I'm not quite used to reflecting within myself. :D OKAY.
I should go do my readings, and prepare for bed.
BIBLE CLASS tmr, back to basics.
the basics of who is Jesus?
is something, I'm treasuring right now.
so profound, so basic that people forget all about it.

Creative ways to get children to exercise
Related topics
Ask your children which sport or activity they enjoy, or would like to try out. Starting with a multi-sports or mini-sports class at a young age is ideal; it develops a wide variety of skills, and lets your children establish what kind of sports they like. The more traditional, competitive sports are not for all. There are a number of alternative exercise classes available in Hong Kong, such as yoga and Zumba. All sports coaching companies should let your child join a free trial class before signing up, to make sure it's a good fit.
Be active with your child
Set a fixed time each week that your family exercise together - children learn best by example and parents are their most important role models. You could start a tradition of going for a family hike every Saturday morning, followed by a well-deserved lunch and play at the beach. The popular Dragon's Back walk, for example, finishes at Shek O village, which is the perfect spot for family fun time. This has the added benefit of ensuring that you are spending quality time together as a family each week.
Keep it social
One of the most important benefits of playing sports, at any age, is the social aspect. When children take part in regular sports activities they strengthen bonds with their existing friends, and also make new ones. Find a good sports class for your child in your area and spread the word among the parents of your child's friends. Some children feel nervous or embarrassed about being in a new environment where they don't know anyone, and this can prevent them from wanting to participate in sports. Having a friend or two by their side can make all the difference.
Reward with activity
It's common for parents to reward their child's achievements or good behaviour with food, particularly with unhealthy treats. This is okay occasionally, but you could easily address your child's aversion to fitness by creating a positive association between exercise and achievement (that is, by rewarding them with physical activity). When they do well in a test at school, praise them for the achievement, and take them to the park with a friend as a reward. Or head for a day out at the beach.
Limit technology
If you set aside time each day where technology like television, phones, tablets, laptops and video games is banned, you will find your child naturally gravitates towards physical activity. Make sure you keep some balls, skipping ropes, buckets and spades, and the like, readily available in a box or cupboard at home. That way, when they have the urge to head outdoors, you are ready.
Have an adventure
Invite your child to join you on a treasure hunt in your local playground. This will require mum or dad to go down first, to hide the clues and the final prize. Or take them for an outing where there are new things to see. A visit to Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden or the Mai Po marshes are good examples. Give your child a scrapbook so they can paste photos or mementos from these outings.
Any movement is good movement
If your child doesn't enjoy organised physical activities, there are plenty of other activities they can try that don't feel like exercise at all. Shooting hoops, flying a kite, hitting one of the city's ice skating rinks, or dancing around the living room will all get the heart rate going. Another natural way to increase fitness is by walking to the local shop or park, as opposed to driving or taking a taxi. Once your youngsters are toddling, encourage them to walk, as opposed to always pushing them around in the pram.

Every artist has their own unique style. Whether they create a piece for themselves, for broadcast, or for commercial use, each artist's individual aesthetics can be seen. My final animation models Michael Dudok de Wit's more simplistic style.
Michale Dudok de Wit used more simplistic images, but the way in which he animated them really breathes life into his work. While there is no emotion expression from the face, he more than makes up for it with the way in which his characters move. In "Father and Daughter," you can see the high energy of the little girl with her quick movements. The coloring is always very soft and smooth, and the colors are lighter and more subdued when he is not using black and white to illustrate his scenes.With the color that he does use, the quality looks very similar to water color paint. De Wit uses more of the basic geometric shapes for his backgrounds. Even the people he draws are not very heavily detailed. In his short "The Monk and the Fish," de Wit's main character has at most four different parts to him: his head, his hands, his body (which is one solid form), and his feet, which are not visible most of the time. With how smoothly most of his characters move, I would say that de Wit relies on rotoscope for body movement. For example, in "Father and Daughter" the way the bicycles are pedaled look too accurate to be anything but rotoscope. The walking sequences are also very smooth; they would not look as such without at least a reference of how people walk to look at.
The elements that I tried to adapt to my animation were the more simplistic forms, the color, and the rotoscope element. I used simple rectangular shapes to create my buildings, and the face of the character I created is basic as well. I also used circles to show the people moving about in the distance. When coloring my images, I chose to use actual water color paint to try and capture the same smooth shading seen in de Wit's work. However, I wanted to leave the images at the end of the film without coloring to further show the drain of life in the city. My rotoscope element comes from the short walk sequence of the lone individual walking across the screen.
In the elements I did choose to adapt from de Wit, I feel like I was relatively successful. I believe I kept true to the more simplistic design theme that he shows within his work. The aspects I could improve upon would be the way he expresses emotion. He does not use any close-ups of people, but I felt like I would not successfully get the image across without it. Also, my character's movement is not very expressive while his are always very expressive. I also could have tried more for the soft coloring of my background like de Wit had.

What's it About?
In updating about my book, I've never posted much about the story itself. I will tell you girls out there it has love and longing and
romance. Don't think for one second that us guys don't like that stuff, it just has to be done right, without the sap. I would not call it a family adventure. The story deals with some pretty brutal stuff. Would it be a date movie? Oh yeah! There is stuff in it for guys and girls. There is a lead male and a strong female character.
The only thing that comes close to the feel of it, and still way off, is a mix of Gladiator, Memoirs of a Geisha and Lord of the Rings. The look of it is late BC or early middle Ages with a Romanesque setting. I love historical fiction before gun-powder and it's had a great influence on me. So the style of fantasy is what readers would call realism or hard-fantasy because it's a logically consistent world that I made up as in A Game of Thrones or Wizards First Rule or Lord of the Rings.
It's not an airy fairy silly romp with leprechauns and smurfs – a pox be upon them! It feels realistic and there is only a touch of fantasy but even that is linked to spiritualism and not potions brewed by witches. Gods and Goddesses are worshiped and there is human sacrifice, diverse peoples and religions populate the story along with some exotic beasts both good and evil. The main characters are searching to discover their purpose in life…and that's as far as I will go for now.
The theme is embedded in the title, BLOOD & SOUL. The theme was inspired by one of my deeply held beliefs. But I handle the
theme with a light touch. It's not preachy at all. I strove to give the reader poignant emotional moments along with thrills, tension and suspense. Anyway …I need to get busy as I'm working on the final draft.

The Ballet
Seeing the Nutcracker performed in Russia?? Sign me up!
We could not visit Russia without a visit to the ballet. Our Russian mama scheduled a trip for us, put on at the new theater complex just across the Zolotoy Bridge called The State Primorsky Opera and Ballet Theater. This complex is large, modern, and originally built for the APEC Summit in 2012. The first performance took place in October, 2013. There are three different performance spaces, ranging from small to extremely large. The largest of these, The Grand Hall, can hold up to 1,390 guests. Various types of performances and meetings are held here, everything from full-scale operas, symphony concerts, press conferences, choral concerts, corporate meetings, festivals, and ballets.
We were lucky enough to get tickets to the Nutcracker (Щелкунчик).
Being a traditional holiday classic in the US, I was surprised it was still playing in early March. Щелкунчик was beautifully staged, with ridiculously talented dancers. I do have to admit, some of us had a particularly sleepy time during intermission.
Overall, the dancing was superb, the costuming rich and vibrant, the music divine. It was a special treat to see Tchaikovsky performed in Russia.
Random find on our way to class one day…
Cafe Lima
Let's talk about one of our favorite places to eat in Vladivostok…
We love love LOVE Cafe Lima!!! This restaurant is incredible! We were introduced to this place by our friend Ryan, who is a frequent patron. The three UH kids have become frequent patrons ourselves. We are here at least once a week (if we cannot find excuses to be here more than that). What a great find! The food is delicious and healthy, the service is friendly and personable, the owner and chef–Misha–is a cool, attentive, and overall fantastic guy, and the prices are completely reasonable. I love the atmosphere; Cafe Lima is a perfect place to relax and chat with friends while enjoying fresh, delectable food. Located in the city center on Океанский Проспект, Cafe Lima has Mexican cuisine, salads, vegetarian options, and heavenly desserts.
AH! The desserts!! Baby pumpkin pies, molasses cookies, pecan tarts…Shayne always says the desserts remind him of home, they are very comforting! If you are in the neighborhood, eat here. If you are not in the neighborhood, figure out a way to get to Vladivostok so you can eat here. You will love it as much as we do!
Here are a few pictures of our visits here. I love when we can bring our Russian friends to try tacos for the first time. It is such a delight. I cannot say enough about this place. Olivia would love it!
Feel free to check out the menu and follow Cafe Lima on Instagram, VK, and FB!

Today, (Tuesday) we went to the old state capitol in Iowa City, the University of Iowa bookstore, and the University of Iowa Sports Hall of Fame. Three floors of Iowa sports, especially football and wrestling.
Dan Gable, the great Iowa wrestler, not only won Olympic gold, but was US champion 3 times. When he became coach of the Iowa Wrestling team, his guys won 15 NCAA titles in 22 years! On the way home from Iowa City we stopped at the Iowa Fire Fighter's Memorial, which is dedicate to those brave firefighters who have made the ultimate sacrifice and to those who still serve. Finally, back at our campground is an area, washed way by floods in 1994, that exposed millions of fossils from 375 million years ago! We walked the washed out area and got some photos of some fossils.

铁骑 / Tengger Cavalry - 远古呼唤 / Ancient Call (2014) - New Wave of Sino-Mongolian Folk Metal - 78% (14/07/14)Par kluseba dans Folk Metal le 29 Mars 2016 à 22:13
Tengger Cavalry has by now released five studio records since its debut. Nationally and internationally, the band has grown more famous in the last three years than most other Chinese bands ever do in their entire careers.
The intriguing aspect about the band is that they mix Mongolian folk music, traditional throat singing, and legendary tales of the people of that fascinating country with some extreme metal influences. The use of two traditional Mongolian bowed string instruments called morin khuur and one long-necked lute called a dombra, gives the band a completely unique sound. Tengger Cavalry takes an equivalent inspiration from, and has a similar impact on Mongolian culture as Eluveitie have in Switzerland, for example.
Like their Swiss colleagues, this band has some pretty heavy tracks, such as the madly thrashing "Galloping Towards The Great Land" or the destructive "Summon The Warrior". Both of which feature stormy riffs, up-tempo drumming, and harsh vocals. Other songs like the shamanic "Dance With The Wolf" or the joyful but mysterious "Echo Of The Grassland" are quite laid back and completely acoustic, with throat singing passages. It's when both styles are fused in equal parts, as in the epic "Brave" or in the enchanting album highlight "Chant Of The Cavalry" that the band is most fascinating.
My favorite song is probably the closing "Legend On Horseback", which features some Chinese folk influences. The song starts like a traditional lullaby before it gets heavier. The dark riffs are overpowered by the longing folk sounds that create a truly epic atmosphere. The song sounds structured, but always comes around with a few new ideas. Modern sounds and riffs meet the ancient grace of Chinese and Mongolian influence in a perfectly balanced symbiosis.
The mixture of genres might sound a little bit unusual at first, but let me assure you that this combination will be growing on you each time you listen, though I admit that this record is lacking a true hit. Folk metal fans simply can't avoid this band, which is a welcome alternative to acts like Eluveitie, Ensiferum, and Equilibrium, and complements its Chinese colleagues Nine Treasures and The Samans quite well. I'm already quite sure that you will see this record on my list of the best albums of the young year of 2014.

Let me introduce to you Brad Cotton. Brad has been writing professionally for over a decade and A Work in Progress is his first novel. Look out for his giveaway of signed copies of A Work In Progress.
What do you read? How does it influence you?
I usually read several books at a time, at varying paces. I love P.G. Wodehouse and the classic writers but I've been reading more modern books of late. Along with fiction, I really like the reading people like Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, Neil Degrasse Tyson, etc. I'm a big fan of philosophy, cosmology, and theoretical physics. Everything I read influences me in one way or another, be it by content or style. If I find no stimulation, I usually don't finish the book.
When you read, what happens?
Words from the page infiltrate my brain and form images in my mind. I process these images and form coherent thoughts and visions. Depending on the quality of the material, I either enjoy the experience greatly, or not so much. I particularly enjoy such instances involving sarcasm, though it would be hard to give an example.
What genre would you like to write a book in (that you haven't yet)?
I've meddled with a few sci-fi, futuristic ideas, but I don't know if I have the constitution to see one all the way through to its end. Perhaps one day I'll have one of my ideas worked out enough to feel confident that it will be a fruitful endeavor. I've been thinking about a story revolving around the idea of someone being "time-sick". After a trauma, perhaps, a character's synapses begin to fire at varying rates depending on stimuli. They may begin to see things happen in slow motion, or sped up, which could allow for some interesting scenarios.
When you start a new story, do you have a title for it? Does that trigger the story?
I've never started with a title. That's not to say that I wouldn't, but that I simply haven't. In my experience a title works itself out organically. I don't, or haven't yet, spent much time developing a title. I've found that it could be at any point during the writing process that a title just comes to me and it feels right. If it happens a few times during the process, the new one will have to beat out the last.
Do you see the future of fantasy and science fiction as bright? If so, which authors are driving it?
I've always been intrigued by these genres but I don't have enough knowledge to comment on which authors I think are driving its success. I would say that as long as people are trying new things, which is the essence of sci-fi and fantasy especially, people will continue to read.
What themes are being overused?
I don't know that any themes are being overused, per se. As long as someone can bring a fresh perspective or new thought to an idea – more power to them. Vampires and zombies seem to be getting a little tired, but people still love them.
Are movies of books ruining the book?
No. Not at all. And any movie producer reading this, I think what you do is top notch and I like you on a personal level. Thank you for being you. Here's my email address: email@example.com.
Do you see ebooks threatening traditional publishing?
Yes and no. Of course, ebooks are growing in popularity and will snag some of the traditional market, but there are still a lot of readers that want to hold a book in their hands and feel it. I'm one of those readers. I tried going the ereader route but it became very expensive buying a new Kindle or iPad every few weeks and they take up a lot less room on the bookshelf. So…
Do you prefer to read established authors or debut authors? How do you choose which ones to read?
I don't have a preference. I'll read anything and everything. I usually go on recommendations, though I do like to support new writers. I like that a lot.
Do you have a group of people that you show a new story to? How much impact can they have on the whole story?
I don't have a group, but instead only a few people whose input is most important to me. They help me with bits here and there but I make certain that the structure is well in place before passing it around.
Do you set yourself a word limit for each book?
Not at all. I let the story develop on it's own momentum. My follow up to A Work in Progress is substantially longer simply because it took that many words to resolve itself.
Do you have a target each day?
No way. I don't have a target for a week or a month or a year either. I write when I'm inspired to write. I think forcing my own hand is counterintuitive. I write because I love it.
Do you write constantly or have breaks between books?
I take breaks during books.
Do you have characters running around your head? Do they dictate events and their histories to you?
When I'm writing, the world I'm working on is alive in my head. I fall asleep thinking about the characters and plotting their motivations and next moves. When I'm not writing, I'm the character running around in my head… So far I haven't figured that one out yet.
What is your biggest (self-imposed) time waster?
TV and drinking and drinking in front of the TV.
Do you remember the first time you saw your book in a shop?
Yes. I was at the Indigo Bookstore at Yorkdale in Toronto. I wish I could say that it was exhilarating, but after such a long process and so much hard work, it was more a relief than anything. Of course, it was certainly rewarding and something I will never forget, but I didn't jump up and down or anything.
Do you read other people's writing?
My favorite thing to read is other people's raw, unpublished writing. Especially people I know. I get a kick out of it.
Would you read mine?
Yes. I should have read ahead. See my last answer.

About A Work in Progress
Writer Danny Bayle's life is in shambles. His true love has left him and his grandfather — the last and most important influence in his life — has just passed away. Danny has spent the last few months languishing, unable to write a single word, but at the urging of a friend ventures out into the world in an attempt to jumpstart a new life, befriending in the process an interesting assortment of characters including an author, a musician, an artist, and an elderly retired nurse. Garnering the attention of more than one woman, Danny sees his new friends unwittingly begin to shape what could just be the story of his life. But will he ever let go of the girl that got away?
About the author

interesting article although in many ways the argument isn't new; the limits of what can be achieved with enormous standing armies and overwhelming firepower have been evident as far back as the Vietnam War, and only reinforced in Afghanistan and the Gulf

The current rate of technological change may make many current U.S. military systems obsolete in the coming decades. Advances in artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, material science, and nanotechnology threaten to produce qualitative -- not just incremental -- change in the conduct of warfare in the near future. Although the U.S. has spent far more on standing military forces than other countries, for far longer, this accumulated advantage is also a vulnerability. It presents an opportunity for Washington's international adversaries and competitors to reap the advantage of their backwardness and leapfrog the U.S. with emerging technology. This is exacerbated by the Pentagon's commitment to significant investment in existing systems, the proverbial "last year's model."

But in war zones and deserts such as Iraq and Syria, the heat map becomes almost entirely dark - except for a few scattered pinpricks of activity.
Zooming in on those brings into focus the locations and outlines of known US military bases, as well as of other unknown and potentially sensitive sites - presumably because US soldiers and other personnel are using fitness trackers as they move around.
Air Force Colonel John Thomas, a spokesman for US Central Command, said on Sunday the US military was looking into the implications of the map.

Some people may remember a thread I started on the old TR (http://talkrational.org/archive/showthread.php?t=31306) about the awful effects afflicted on friends of ours by the genetic degenerative disease Huntington's disease. Now our dear friend who lost her 2 sons and husband to Huntington's is in tears at the news of a potential treatment that could prevent the disease's progress http://www.bbc.com/news/health-42308341
An experimental drug, injected into spinal fluid, safely lowered levels of toxic proteins in the brain.
The research team, at University College London, say there is now hope the deadly disease can be stopped.
Experts say it could be the biggest breakthrough in neurodegenerative diseases for 50 years.
Huntington's is one of the most devastating diseases.
Some patients described it as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and motor neurone disease rolled into one.
Huntington's is caused by an error in a section of DNA called the huntingtin gene.
Normally this contains the instructions for making a protein, called huntingtin, which is vital for brain development.
But a genetic error corrupts the protein and turns it into a killer of brain cells.
The treatment is designed to silence the gene.

Paleontologists have discovered a new species of carnivorous marsupial lion that lived 26 to 18 million years ago (late Oligocene to early Miocene) in Australia's rainforests.
The newly-discovered marsupial lion, named Wakaleo schouteni, was the size of a dog and weighed around 23 kg.
The species was about a 1/5th of the weight of the largest and last surviving marsupial lion, Thylacoleo carnifex, that weighed in at 130 kg and which has been extinct for 30,000 years.
"The identification of this species has brought to light a level of marsupial lion diversity that was quite unexpected and suggest even deeper origins for the family Thylacoleonidae," said Dr. Anna Gillespie, a paleontologist at the University of New South Wales, Australia.
The fossilized remains of Wakaleo schouteni -- a near-complete skull, teeth, and humerus (upper arm bone) -- were found in the Riversleigh World Heritage Area of remote north-western Queensland.

Police say multiple people were shot Wednesday morning in the Del Ray neighborhood of Alexandria, Virginia.
The shooting happened in the 400 block of E. Monroe Street. It's not clear how many people were injured, but police are calling the incident a "multiple shooting."
An apparent witness to the event, Benjamin Childers, wrote on Twitter that someone opened fire on a baseball field where congressional Republicans were practicing and he heard many shots.
"We had three members of Congress take shelter in our apartment," he said on a live stream, as sounds of emergency vehicles could be heard. "The three weren't shot." NBC was reaching out to him for comment.

Leaving aside my rather stridently expressed skepticism about mainland thylacines, this one is vastly more plausible and no less exciting http://news.csu.edu.au/latest-news/science/search-for-ancient-mammal-in-ancient-land
A team of internationally recognised researchers led by a Charles Sturt University (CSU) ecologist aim to solve a scientific riddle when they search for an ancient mammal in the rugged Kimberley region of Western Australia.
With the help of trained sniffer dogs, remote cameras, a small army of volunteers and old fashioned scientific detective work, CSU Professor of Ecology David Watson and his team are looking for the long-beaked echidna.
They hope to verify the stories of local Aboriginal communities.
Professor Watson said, "The Miriwoong Gadjerong and other local communities recognise two species of echidna: the common short-beaked echidna found across Australia, and 'the other one'.
"We believe this is the long-beaked echidna, the oldest known remaining mammal in the world and currently only known to be in steamy rainforests of New Guinea.
"A specimen recently turned up in a London museum of an animal collected near Mount Anderson in 1901, the first direct evidence that long-beaked echidnas persisted in Australia until very recently.
A large international research team, directed by the Portuguese archaeologist João Zilhão and including Binghamton University anthropologist Rolf Quam, has found the oldest fossil human cranium in Portugal, marking an important contribution to knowledge of human evolution during the middle Pleistocene in Europe and to the origin of the Neandertals.
The cranium represents the westernmost human fossil ever found in Europe during the middle Pleistocene epoch and one of the earliest on this continent to be associated with the Acheulean stone tool industry. In contrast to other fossils from this same time period, many of which are poorly dated or lack a clear archaeological context, the cranium discovered in the cave of Aroeira in Portugal is well-dated to 400,000 years ago and appeared in association with abundant faunal remains and stone tools, including numerous bifaces (handaxes).
"This is an interesting new fossil discovery from the Iberian Peninsula, a crucial region for understanding the origin and evolution of the Neandertals," said Quam, an associate professor of anthropology at Binghamton University, State University of New York. "The Aroeira cranium is the oldest human fossil ever found in Portugal and shares some features with other fossils from this same time period in Spain, France and Italy. The Aroeria cranium increases the anatomical diversity in the human fossil record from this time period, suggesting different populations showed somewhat different combinations of features."
MARCH 5, 2017 --In 2007, researchers from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology in Beijing were finishing up an archaeological dig in Lingjing, China, when a team member spotted some quartz tools poking out of the mud. After extending the dig, the tools were extracted, revealing an even more significant discovery: a small, ancient skull fragment approximately 100,000 to 130,000 years old.
Over the next few years, the researchers returned to the site multiple times, finding more cranium pieces until they were able to reconstruct two partial skulls from more than 40 separate fragments.
But when the team analyzed the skull fragments, they realized that the skulls neither fit the bill for Homo sapiens nor Neanderthals but that they shared characteristics of both human species. Ultimately, the researchers were unable to positively determine exactly what kind of human the skulls belong to, opening the door to a wide range of intriguing possibilities.
In an article published Friday in the journal Science, the researchers note that the skull fragments date to the Late Pleistocene epoch, a time marked by the expansion of H. sapiens and the extinction of other species in the genus Homo. During the early part of that epoch, Neanderthals roamed Europe and western Asia while humans began to journey out of Africa. But fossil records of human species in Eastern Asia from that time period are thin, muddying the picture of that era for a substantial region of the planet.
The skulls found in China were found to bear very close resemblances to those of Neanderthals, including a very similar inner ear bone and a prominent brow ridge. But the brow ridge was much less pronounced than one would expect from Neanderthals, with a considerably less dense cranium, as one might expect in an early H. sapiens. Researchers also found that the skulls were large by both modern and Neanderthal standards, with a whopping 1800 cubic centimeters of brain capacity.
Is there any chance of having a widget or whatever installed that can allow a Twitter url to be pasted in that will appear as afull tweet on the screen, the way we can with a YouTube? I've seen it done in newspaper online reports so wonder if the work's been done on Elkarte.
interested to hear fro bili, vox etc. on the significance of this http://ottawacitizen.com/storyline/worlds-main-list-of-science-predators-vanishes-with-no-warning
In 2012, a librarian from the University of Colorado presented research in a field so new he had to name it himself: predatory publishing.
Jeffrey Beall discovered thousands of online science journals that were either willing to publish fake research for cash, or just so inept that they couldn't tell the good from the bad and published it all.
Beall, who became an assistant professor, drew up a list of the known and suspected bad apples, known simply as Beall's List. Since 2012, this list has been world's main source of information on journals that publish conspiracy theories and incompetent research, making them appear real.
But on Sunday, his website went blank. Only the headline, Scholarly Open Access, remains.
Beall is a regular on Twitter, but he hasn't posted anything there in days. He isn't answering email (including a message from the Citizen) or telling anyone what happened. Beall's List had just been updated for 2017.
A Texas firm called Cabell's, which also works with academic publishers, hinted that Beall was threatened somehow.
Its Twitter account said on Tuesday: "@CabellsPublish stands behind close personal friend @Jeffrey_Beall who was forced to shut down blog due to threats & politics #academicmafia." Cabell's hinted on Twitter that it may take over a Beall-like service in the spring, but gave no details. Calls to its office went unanswered and the voicemail was full.

If the dam ruptured, it would likely cause a catastrophe of Biblical proportions, loosing a wave as high as a hundred feet that would roll down the Tigris, swallowing everything in its path for more than a hundred miles. Large parts of Mosul would be submerged in less than three hours. Along the riverbanks, towns and cities containing the heart of Iraq's population would be flooded; in four days, a wave as high as sixteen feet would crash into Baghdad, a city of six million people. "If there is a breach in the dam, there will be no warning," Alwash said. "It's a nuclear bomb with an unpredictable fuse."

This is about the guy from last week that looked suspicious around our salad bar.
Appears he wandered around the store for quite a while collecting items. But, then he went through a register and paid for every single thing!
Head Cashier told me he still made everyone nervous and that they were very surprised when he paid. The feeling is he may have been checking the store out and decided to be honest. This time.
* * * * *
When I go to work, I get in a zone. I sit in my car for a few minutes to get my mind in the game and then I head in for my shift. I get into customer/performing mode. I am especially like that when I actually have a customer. I ease off a little between customers but when there is one at my register they are my priority. I try to tune out everything else.
We have a few new people, again, and I was lucky enough to have one next to me the other day. I was to sort of keep an eye on him and help when needed. Problem was that he was at the next register to my left, which meant that when we were working his back was to me. I have difficulty hearing when I can't see a person's face. Its probably from all those years working under a huge fan. Anyway, every once in a while he'd ask me to help him with a code or a procedure.
Now, I tend to get involved in my job and am not really good at trying to do my work and someone else's at the same time. Add in the hearing disability, the background muzac, the ambient sounds and noises, and its no wonder I forgot to give someone their cash back.
This means, I am once again, green boxed.
Side note: If you make a mistake of under $10.00 on your tray you are red boxed. That means you are audited, whether scheduled to be or not, the next day you come in to work .
If you make a mistake of over $10.00 then you are green boxed. That means you are on audit for the next two weeks, starting the day after the mistake.
Don't you think that the red box should be the longer sentence?
Anyway, what I don't like is that now I have to be 'counseled.' That means I get called into the office by the boss and told I have to be more careful, etc, etc, blah, blah, blah.
I can beat myself up pretty darn good without being told that I should. I HATE to make a mistake. I have very high standards for my work and accidentally cheating a customer out of money is a BIG one.
I also don't like the fact that the reason this happened was because I couldn't seem to handle the kid asking me question after question and for me allowing it to disrupt my work.
To be fair he had some pretty odd things to ask me, but I find that when I get into my work I can't just switch to the other person's problem. I have to stop for a second, think of what I am being asked, answer or explain, then get back to where I was with my own customer.
I think with all the back and forth and the fact that I had to have him repeat himself, plus he would turn his back to look at his own computer and I couldn't hear him clearly, I just plain forgot to give the money.
This happened last Wednesday. I was in Saturday and the boss was walking around behind me with his clipboard. Way to make me nervous guy!!
I am not sure what he was doing but I was half way expecting the old "So and So" wants to see you. I hate walking over to that office.
You already feel bad enough about making a mistake, and letting yourself down. Why do I have to be reprimanded about it? That is why it is called a mistake!! If I'd known I was doing it then it would be called an "on purpose".
I am going in this afternoon, and will probably be 'counseled' today. I would prefer to just say "Look, I know I made a mistake. I was being yapped at by another cashier and it distracted me. I had a little trouble getting back to my own mind set. Can I go back to work now?"
We'll see.

I have the feeling I basically messed up my very first Blog post, so I'm just gonna start all over again.
Hi everyone, my name is Chrissy, Chrissy Cupcake.
I'm a 21 year old German native, who currently lives back in Germany after living two years in the U.S. of A. I lived in Fairfax, VA very close to Washington D.C. for most of my time over there.I miss every minute of beeing there and I say that when I just got back from a 5 Week trip this last Wednesday. It is strange not beeing where your heart wants to be but I'm sure most people know this feeling or get to know that feeling in some point in there lives.
I know I should Germany cause it is the Country I grew up in, I fell in love for the first time, but there is so many things that made my life terrible. You know there is always this one person in school everyone is hating on? You hate him/her just because everybody else does!? You know what I mean. I was this person in all the schools I went to. I was fat and not that good looking so I was the designated one everyone could treat badly. When I would walk through the halls I would be called "refrigerator" and that's one of the nicer words. It made me not wanting to go to School at all. I was scared and I would walk different, longer ways just to avoid certain people. But all of this is History now.
The two years in the USA changed my life and changed my personality so much, I couldn't have asked for anything better happening to me. I'm confident, I don't try to hide every place I go. And this coming Tuesday is going to happen the biggest change of all and the reason why I started this blog. I'm going to have surgery to get a gastric band. I'm sooo excited. Weird saying I'm excited for a surgery but this is going to be such a huge change in my life and I am just soo happy about it.
"Perfer et obdura; dolor hic tibi proderit olim"
"Be patient and tough; someday this pain will be useful to you,"
This saying mean so much to me and I just read it a couple days ago in a Book but it has so much power and truth in it, I know this is going to help me on my hard way to become thin and healthy and still enjoying food as much as I do now.
I always loved to cook and bake and my passion grew even larger when I saw all those amazing cake decorators like Buddy Valastro from Cake Boss or all the people on WEtv's Amazing Wedding Cakes Show. I wanted to know how to work with Fondant and Buttercream an all that kind of stuff so I looked into where I could take classes. I ended up doing all the Wilton Cake Decorating Classes at the local Michaels Store as well as teaching myself with Online Courses and Videos.
I'm going to tell you much more about myself, during my long way of finding myself and finding my way into my new life.
Love, Life, Cupcakes and Weight Loss … that's what it's all about.

Being able to paint in my very own 'space' is proving to be a real luxury. I love the fact that I can just nip up there to draw a little, to play with some colour schemes and obviously to paint. This painting today was started at the very beginning of the day, I was then able to nip in there for 10 minutes or so before going to work, once I had our tea bubbling away I returned to paint some more, finishing touches later this evening, could indeed have been added by the light of the moon, as the daylight rapidly disappeared:
As I locked up for the evening, the solar powered lights came on:

An identity thief who called himself "Lyte" will now do heavy time for heading a check-fraud scheme with nearly 1,000 accomplices and some 500 victims, including the NYPD, Madison Square Garden and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.
Jasper "Lyte" Grayson, 26, and fellow mastermind James "Sal" Malloy, 26, both of The Bronx, were sentenced in Manhattan Supreme Court to do at least five years and as much as a decade in prison.
Prosecutors said the pair enlisted crooked bank tellers to sell customer account info and provide canceled checks.
They hired hundreds of accomplices to go into banks and cash the forged checks for an average of $2,000 a pop. By purchasing payroll stubs from employees, the ring was able to hack into real accounts belonging to Bed Bath & Beyond; clothing designer Diane Von Furstenberg; and Mount Sinai Medical Center, among others.
Eighteen ring members were busted last May; to date all but four have taken plea deals.
The scheme netted Grayson and Malloy at least $2 million, prosecutors said.

About Olivia Jones
I live with my dad (36), mom (35), sister (9), brother (7), and my dog. Their names are, Corey, Jena, Lillian, Nolan, and Nala Jones. Most of my family lives in Kansas and Oregon, but the family we visit lives around us in Missouri.
My Friends
Lily Hoover and Yasmin Noyola are my closest friends. We do everything together. Although I have many other friends Lily and Yasmin are the only ones I hang out with outside of school.
When it comes to school I am in accelerated ELA and 9th grade Algebra 1. I keep good grades also. I am not in any sports at the moment, but I want to get into basketball. Outside school groups I am in is Extempore. Extempore is once a week and we are in a group, we create a certain script and skit over a couple months. Then we go to competition and preform it to the judges.
I have many hobbies. I enjoy playing basketball, (Kansas is my favorite college team). I love reading and writing also. I will also listen to a lot of music in my free time. But my favorite thing is watching Magcon videos. I love them so much so a lot of my free time involves them.

Filed under: News | Tags: Arsene Wenger
Arsene Wenger has questioned Liverpool's belief in the title race and tentatively labelled them "scared".
"Did they have no more resources or were they scared to be caught on the break?" Wenger asked of Liverpool. "It's difficult to know. One or two players had cramps. I don't know if they were tired or were they scared to push on? There were a few breaks where they could smell danger and after that maybe they became a bit more cautious.
"When you play against 10 men for almost 45 minutes and you do not win the game you cannot be completely happy with the result."
A lot of Reds will agree, to a point, with the Frenchman after seeing their side pass up yet another opportunity to collect three points and open a decent gap at the top of the table.

So would the Voyeur rather be in his team's position or in Liverpool's.

I talked with a motivated Christian last week who had an interest in Nursing home ministry.
It reminded me of this experience I had a few years back. I was working with a woman named Joyce at the time, she is referenced in this account.
I had a haunting experience yesterday at the rest home. During the service about mid-way through a person was brought in with the metal cage type apparatus that fits your head when it's mandatory that your head does not move. It appears to be bolted into your head. Do you know the type of cage I'm talking about? This woman who wore this was, I assessed, in her mid sixties. which is young for the rest home. I could see traces of youthful beauty in her eyes. Although the Lord allows me to see the youth in most of the residents there. Anyway, this was her first visit to the service and I tried not to stare. As we sang and carried on in our normal fashion, Joyce was very moved that this lady was weeping and felt it necessary to tell me in the middle of a song. Joyce always has a way of putting people on the spot. which just makes me squirmy! Anyway I'm just sure this lady knows we're talking about her, so I make sure as not to stare. Anyway when the songs over Joyce goes up to her while I continue the service. Then Joyce stops me and has to put this lady on the spot just like I feared! Well, it turns out this lady wasn't uncomfortable about talking and she answers Joyce's inquiry about her tears by explaining that all her life she ran from God and was involved with drugs and the like, till November 10th, it all came to a head when her husband tried to kill her! In fact he actually did! She was pronounced dead, but was revived. She turned her life over to Christ after this experience and was so filled with joy that we all just rejoiced with her. She said she wanted to talk to me and Joyce after the service. Needless to say the hair is just now laying down on my neck. The balance of the service took on a different enthusiasm than the beginning, you can just imagine.
No way to exaggerate it.
After service I asked her if she wanted a ride home and so I took her to her room where we talked and I found out more detail. It turns out she is 46! One year older than Sue. It is impossible to tell because of her condition. The method her husband used to try and kill her was to run over her with his car! He crushed her skull, broke her neck in two places and to repair her neck they had to go in from the front so they had to slice her throat! Her hair was shaved and she had stitches all over her skull. Her skin was jaundice and she is very dehydrated and so her skin appears very old. She is just a mess. But she is on fiiiiiiiiiirrrrre with God!
She is in pain and can't lay down with that cage, she is in physical therapy daily to learn how to walk and to speak, which she does well, a little slow but clear. In all this horror she has a Jesus smile on her face that went the length of the corridor.
I'm ashamed to admit that in my church the testimonies are fewer than they should be. And the miracles are almost non-existent. But yesterday I sat and talked with a walking miracle of grace.
I can hardly shake her from my thoughts. I woke up last night with her face etched in my mind.
God still raises the dead, and saves the lost!!!!

ICA to Conduct "Managing Risk" Training Prior to 2015 Annual Trade Event
Registration is now open for the International Cotton Association's (ICA) "Managing Risk" training course on October 28-29, in conjunction with the ICA Annual Trade Event.
The course – as well as the trade event – will be held at the Hyatt Regency in San Francisco, CA.
According to ICA officials, the training will focus on key areas of risk management for the cotton trade, including an in-depth analysis of futures and options, developing trading plans and strategies, a look at the global economy and currencies, and technical analysis. Peter Egli, director of risk management for Plexus Cotton, Ltd., will lead the 1 ½-day session.
"Since 2008, financial markets have become increasingly volatile," said Egli. "Cotton is no exception, with the futures market experiencing price swings from 36 to 227 cents per pound. In such an environment, it is more important than ever for cotton traders to gain a deeper understanding of the risk they are dealing with and to learn how to mitigate them with the help of futures and options strategies."
Full details about the course, including registration information, can be found on the ICA website.
Registration is also now open for the ICA Annual Trade Event, which is open to anyone with an interest in the cotton trade. More than 600 delegates from the global cotton community are expected to attend.

If you are a Verizon customer please comment on this blog.
If this is the case I will go after Verizon, since I believe there is not much we can do about a company in India.
The album is a shiny thing from Pottery Barn (people like to give us presents from Pottery Barn for some reason) and the pictures were from Sumana's sister.The two had been lying in proximity for many months, in the hopes that the album would absorb the pictures by osmosis.Today I decided that wasn't working and manually stuck the pictures in the album, if you can imagine such a primitive task.Today we did some cleanup and tried out the paper shredder I got Sumana for Christmas.Our paper trails are better-ordered now, and I also took the opportunity to finally make our wedding album.
