What's Your Selfie Technique?
Oh, don't pretend like you don't have one!
I consider dancing much like vitamin D, which I also need in large amounts to deflect Seasonal Affective Disorder and general bad moods. Despite hating the cold worse than Han Solo on Hoth, I try to drag my butt out as often as I can muster and shake it vigorously.
Growing up in radio-station distance to a big party city will put the ants in your pants at a young age. 103.5 WKTU was the station that defined the '90s for me; THE BEAT OF NEW YORK as they called it. I'm not embarrassed to say that I have disco in my DNA; my relatives are all dancing queens and party people. Supposedly they were trolling around the hotspots of the late '70s and early-to-mid '80s before I was born.
Then, watching the '90s unfold as an MTV watching youngin', I envied aunts, uncles and older cousins who were 17 to 30. I wanted to be in the club, dancing the night away and LIVING MY LIFE! I was that kid who was crying because the dance/wedding/party was over and it was time to go home.
Luckily for the progeny of Brooklyn-bred immigrant children of the dance, there is this lovely little thing called TEEN NIGHT, and even luckier for me, it happened in New Jersey! And if you aren't yet a teen, well honeychild there's the Escapades for you! I only was able to go a handful of times, but you should know that Escapades was a "club" for kids 10 to 12 who were too young for teen night across the street at Hunka Bunka (now known as Starland Ballroom).
After countless years of sitting in traffic getting to and from NJ to Brooklyn and Staten Island, I had nearly every Hi-NRG dance song memorized. Too much time passed in between school ice cream socials, and I needed to get it out!
Those sweat-soaked memories were pretty much some of the only good ones of that period of my childhood; getting decked out (I was only allowed to wear makeup to special events or occasions) and hiding halters and other wannababy-raver attire under layers from whatever adult was dropping off me and my partner in crime. There was purity in it, for all the suggestive songs we were singing, we barely talked to boys; we just put on blue Jordache lipstick and boogied down to the ground.
Somewhere in between then and turning 18, things got much, much darker, but when all the clouds departed, I found myself on the right side of 21 with a newfound confidence. I remembered all of the songs, and dancing, and how it made me feel.
Now, let me clarify: I'm not talking about going out and getting wasted. I'm talking about going dancing. Sometimes the two overlap, but the important thing is the burn you feel from going hard into the wee hours of the morning. No matter what kind of music I was digging at the time, from ska to gangsta rap and every disco and world beat in between, dancing is really one of the keys to happiness for me.
Here's a playlist I made just for you babies and your babies, called MS. VAIN. With three decades of dance music, there is a special emphasis on '90s Hi-NRG jams to get your blood pumping. This can be used for a workout, while getting ready, or both!
If you are in need of some dance, look into No Lights, No Lycra, a drug- and alcohol-free dance 'class' that is dimly lit and anonymous. There are many versions of this around the world, and you can always start your own! You can also hop over to the nearest watering hole and drink water or firewater, if you aren't satisfied singing into your hairbrush at home.
I have hand-selected some affirmations from these inspirational jams, and chosen a product to go along with the memory or feeling.
You can be mystical magical physically phenomenal: "Don't Stop Moving" by Livin' Joy
This song is more than inspirational, it's like a polite kick in the ass. It reminds me of scribbling iridescent eye pencils all over my hooded lids, allowing UV light to make it look like a camo pattern.
If I need to do that today, I could grab some NARS The multiple in Luxor.
Love, life, and laughter is all I believe: "Dreamer" by Livin' Joy
Holy hairbrush jam! I was more than a little obsessed with this song. This mantra is a hilarious precursor to those "Live, Laugh, Love" wall decals. You know decor has hit a fever pitch when the ladies' room on the Brighton Beach boardwalk has one above the stalls. But I digress.
This song makes me think about that time I used Wite-Out as lipstick. It looked AWESOME, but whoa boy, did I get in trouble. Now I know better and there are two great options for a matte white lip: Lip Tar (obvi) or my fav cheapie option is some zinc oxide cream, though it won't be as matte or long-lasting.
You've got to forgive and forget. Let hate, let hate, be your enemy: "Now That We Found Love" by Third World
This song is an oft-covered gem originally by The Ojays. I chose the Third World version over the Heavy D and The Boys version because it is a bit more fun as a funky reggae flavored jam, and the vocals are just incredible.
We can NEVER have too much encouragement to let go of hate. Hate is toxic, hate is gross, but still, no one wants to see someone they aren't quite fond of with, let's say, smeared lipstick or eyeshadow. Here's why you should throw on a lid or lip primer when using experimental or unique colors. A bit of eyelid primer has saved my semi-hooded lids from getting creased many times. I like Bite for lips and Urban Decay for eyes.
Be free, leave your troubles behind, just this the vibe rock in your mind. It's a better trip than ecstasy, so won't you get with me: "Stand Up" by Love Tribe
The best thing about feel-good party anthems is that they are simultaneously fun and cheesy. There's something so awesome about unashamed expression, and party jams like this one will have you doing the worm across the cafeteria in no time!
You don't need drugs or alcohol to have a good time, but if you do choose to indulge, always be safe. For those of us who have a few drinks from time to time, there is a beautiful little helper for the next day skin dryness:Rosewater and Glycerin Spray. This stuff is just the right amount of moisture for the face and aromatherapy for that headache.
I think I am incredibly jealous of those who were growing up in the '80s and '90s, when money flowed like water and everyone I knew was kind of rich except my family. Nope, now everyone has downsized a lot or a little, and moods are more grim. I am just utterly fascinated by the time leading up to the 2000s, where, to me, everything changed dramatically and seemingly overnight.
I will admit something here: I watch The Carrie Diaries (Sable is laughing at me as she reads this). My cousin is on the line, trying to get me to go out, and I likely will, but my dirty secret is that on Fridays, I prefer to watch The Carrie Diaries while soaking in the tub. I am a sucker for a story, and knowing just how Ms. Bradshaw got to her SATC level of fabulosity was just something I needed to watch.
Young Carrie floats around Manhattan as a largely unsupervised teenager, which is the norm when you grow up near the commuter trains. In the 'burbs, people do not accept special snowflakeness as readily, and I don't blame them much. Much like baby Bradshaw, I thrive when I'm up to my eyeballs in culture of all forms. It provides a chance at true freedom from the pain of the past and a petri dish to let the creativity virus take over. Dancing with the faceless masses to loud jams is church; catharsis at its finest. Releasing all the pent-up badness out through your crown chakra and into the atmosphere. Now I have nearly 24-access to it, and seek confession to the priests of music when I know nothing else will work.

Wine stains: Spots caused by wine can be removed from 100 percent cotton, cotton polyester and permanent press fabrics if done so within 24 hours. To do it, sponge white distilled vinegar directly onto the stain and rub away the spots. Then clean according to the directions on the manufacturer's care tag.
Freshen baby clothes: The addition of 1 cup of white distilled vinegar to each load of baby clothes during the rinse cycle will naturally break down uric acid and soapy residue leaving the clothes soft and fresh.
Clothes washing magic: Clothes will rinse better if 1 cup of white distilled vinegar is added to the last rinse water. The acid in vinegar is too mild to harm fabrics, but strong enough to dissolve the alkalies in soaps and detergents.
Blanket renewal: Cotton and wool blankets become soft, fluffy and free of soap odor if 2 cups of white distilled vinegar are added to the rinse cycle of the wash.
Deodorant stains: Deodorant and antiperspirant stains may be removed from clothing by lightly rubbing with white distilled vinegar and laundering as usual.
Hole removal: After a hem or seam is removed, there are often unsightly holes left in the fabric. These holes can be removed by placing a cloth, moistened with white distilled vinegar, under the fabric and ironing.
Keeping colors fast: To hold colors in fabrics, which tend to run, soak them for a few minutes in white distilled vinegar before washing.
Leather cleaning: Leather articles can be cleaned with a mixture of white distilled vinegar and linseed oil. Rub the mixture into the leather and then polish with a soft cloth.
Scorch marks:
Lightly rub white distilled vinegar on fabric that has been slightly scorched. Wipe with a clean cloth.
Setting colors: When you are color dyeing, add about a cupful of white distilled vinegar to the last rinse water to help set the color.
Shower curtains: Add 1 cup of white distilled vinegar to the rinse water when you launder your shower curtain. Do not spin dry or wash out. Just hang immediately to dry.
Unclog steam iron: Pour equal amounts of white distilled vinegar and water into the iron's water chamber. Turn to steam and leave the iron on for 5 minutes in an upright position. Then unplug and allow to cool. Any loose particles should come out when you empty the water.
Clean a scorched iron plate: Heat equal parts white distilled vinegar and salt in a small pan. Rub solution on the cooled iron surface to remove dark or burned stains.
Cleaning Vintage Lace: Soak the lace in cold water, rinsing it several times. Next, hand-wash the lace gently with a wool detergent, such as Woolite. If rust spots are a problem, try removing them with a mixture of white vinegar and hot water.
I hope you have enjoyed this list as much as I did. Do you have any other way to use vinegar in your laundry?

Patience is wearing thin.
For more than three months, Gina McCarthy, President Obama's nominee to head the Environmental Protection Agency, has been stuck in limbo due to procedural stalling tactics in the Senate. That's why the Sierra Club has released two ads that target specific senators, asking them to be a part of the solution and support Gina McCarthy. The ads, released in Arizona and Ohio, call on supporters of clean air and water to contact their senators and ask them to end the gridlock in Washington by moving forward with Gina McCarthy's confirmation.
Lack of progress in the Senate is nothing new. But this is starting to get ridiculous. We've been without an EPA administrator for 140 days, over a month longer than the previous record for a vacancy at this position. There's no disputing her qualifications: For 25 years, she has worked with both sides of the aisle on environmental issues, advising several governors in Connecticut and Massachusetts, including Mitt Romney. Gina McCarthy is smart, qualified, bi-partisan, and would be a true asset in the movement for real leadership on climate in Washington, D.C.
The Senate's inaction on her nomination has nothing to do with Gina McCarthy's qualifications; it is simply a reflection of Republican stall tactics in the Senate. As a result of Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's strategy of obstruction and inaction, GOP senators are blocking nearly everything the president is trying to accomplish. Two months ago, in an embarrassing display of politics at its worst, eight GOP members of the Senate Committee for Environment and Public Works purposely skipped McCarthy's hearing, further delaying a confirmation vote.
The only ones who benefit from this political circus are big polluters. Having a strong EPA leader helps hold coal and oil companies accountable and will ensure that we can preserve existing safeguards that protect families and communities. Send a message to the Senate to stop the delay and demand an up-or-down vote for Gina McCarthy.

The Schneider logo has been refreshed and has a more contemporary design that accurately reflects the broad geographies it serves. The company's previous logo had been in existence since 1985, which positioned the organization well at the time.
In addition to changing the logo to one that is more befitting a company operating in multiple transportation modes beyond U.S. borders, through the years the company became more widely referred to as Schneider.
"Although we are not changing the name of our legal entities," said CEO and President Chris Lofgren, "to our associates, our customers and the communities we serve, we are, and have long been known as Schneider."
Transition to the new logo will occur over time, including on the 10,000 trucks and 45,000 trailers/containers rolling down the highway. Implementation will take place as trucks, trailers, containers and other equipment and materials are lifecycled and replaced.

Montague Fendt has lived in Beijing, China, since 2003. There, smog is a reality, and he asks if this is the city of the future? His crowdfunding project is a photographic essay in book form, about China and its problems. The reality described by Mr. Fendt is horrific:
As you would check the weather or temperature, we Beijingers check the air quality on our smartphones, the AQI (air quality index) measured at the US Embassy confirms the deadliness of the smog. We then carefully take the necessary steps, close all windows, get the pollution masks out and turn our air filters to the maximum setting. Still, the little icon on the lcd shows a red frowning face.
This doesn't sound pleasant at all, and yet it's the reality for over 21 million people.
'Wu: Da:! (雾大!) translated from Chinese means 'Heavy Fog'. It is also the answer you get from most people in the Chinese capital if you ask them what's wrong with the sky. But this 'fog' has hardly anything to do with water droplets in the air, actually Beijing is one of the driest cities in China for most months and fog this heavy would more likely be a strange natural phenomenon.
My goal is to show you and the world a window onto nowadays Beijing. I want to share these strange apocalyptic vistas with you, creating a surreal photography exhibition portraying Beijing in its 50 shades of haze. The exhibition will consist of a series of fine arts prints and if i manage to get enough funds, also a self published art book. The book will not only consist of the 'Wu: Da:!' series, but also incorporate many fellow photographer's and artist's thoughts on the smog problem of our city. The main focus of the campaign is not to be shocking, judgemental or critical, i rather want to intrigue people by portraying a poetic and beautiful image of the city calmly covered in this mist. I want to show how this flaw, how this limitation actually manages to inspire creation.
The perks offer polaroids and prints.
Favorite perk ($50)
All contributors with a pledge of 50 dollars will receive a signed mystery Polaroid from my stack of original expired Polaroid film. I will take my trusty SX-70 along on my quest for smog and snap my last two packs of film! Hopefully they will find their way onto a Polaroid lover's fridge!

What is tech_081gl?
Most things which exist in the world have a stable shape or form that always appears as the same ("static"). In reality, the human eye is simply not fast enough to follow things that change at high speeds. We generally cannot recognize the unnaturalness, even if something changes every faster than 70 Hz.
[Dynamic operation]
Dynamic operation (dynamic display), which is used in lighting such as fluorescent and displays such as televisions, exploits this characteristic.
In the area of the 50 Hz frequency of commercial power supplies, fluorescent lights flash repeatedly at a speed of 100 Hz, which is the double. As you can see in the pattern diagram below, this is because the light is illuminated around the + and - peaks, and extinguished in the vicinity of 0 V. The human eye can see it as continuous illumination because it cannot recognize such a fast change.
Coffee Break
People's perception differs. The senses are also affected by age. Thus, some people may be very sensitive to the flickering of fluorescent lights. Manufacturers have tried to solve this problem by lengthening the persistence time of the fluorescent material. There are also products that feature a firefly-like afterglow for a short time after the light is turned off.
A more recent arrival on the market is an inverter light, which doesn't operate with the frequency of the commercial power supply, but rather flashes at a high frequency, performing switching operations at a frequency of 20 to 50 kHz. Since the inverter light flashes at the frequency above the visible frequency range, there is no flickering or delayed illumination as with conventional fluorescent lights.
[Dynamic operation used in displays]
In CRT TVs, the picture is displayed by an electron beam moving across fluorescent material on the screen surface in a horizontal direction (known as a scanning line). In standard definition (SD) TV broadcasts, half a frame (one frame consists of 525 scanning lines) is displayed per 1/60 of a second (half a frame is known as a field; one complete frame therefore consists of one even field and one odd field).
One point is projected for an instant by the electron beam (the projected point is highlighted in red in the figure above), but since the fluorescent material continues to illuminate for a short time after it (shown in pink in the figure above), we cannot observe any flickering. (If the display is photographed by a camera or filmed on video, the flickering (dark areas) is noticeable.)
In LCD televisions, unlike the CRT style of one-by-one point (dot) display, multiple dots in a row are displayed simultaneously. A picture is displayed on the screen by changing the vertical order in which these dot rows are displayed ("dynamic" display). Although it would require about 320,000 signal lines to statically display a screen with 640 horizontal dots and 480 vertical lines, this screen can be displayed dynamically in line units with only 1120 (640 + 480) signal lines.
Another kind of display method is a segment display, used for displaying prefixed images, such as in a calculator. Unlike the dot method used in TVs, the segment display method controls the display through a combination of segment signals and signals that are used for digits. The example on the left below shows the display in a unit of every digit. In this example, 7 signal lines are used to operate the segment and 4 signal lines are used to select the digit, making a total of 11 signal lines used. In the example on the right, two digits are displayed simultaneously, so 14 signal lines are required for segment operation.
[Dynamic display control]
Control of the segment display in the example above is shown in the timing chart below. First, while outputting the segment display data for the first digit to the segment signal, the first digit selection signal is output. This results in the display of one digit. Next, in order to display the second digit, the first digit selection signal is cut off and the data of the segment signal is changed to that of the second digit. The second digit selection signal is then output, resulting in the display of the second digit. When the digit is switched in this way, there is a period in which no selection signal is output. This period exists to prevent blurring of the display, and is known as a blanking period. This blanking period is required in LED or fluorescent displays, but not in LCDs because the display speed in an LCD is too slow to track.
This kind of display, in which the order of digits displayed is switched every fixed period of time, is known as time-division display. Increasing the number of divisions reduces the number of signal lines, but also shortens the display period. This means that the difference between the segments that are being displayed and those that are not being displayed (the contrast) is low. To avoid this, a large current has to be applied to brighten the display as much as possible.
Coffee Break
The display timing described above works as a concept, but caution is required when dealing with actual waveforms. In LEDs, if the logic of the segment signal is made positive, the digit selection signal (common signal) logic has to be made negative by using a cathode common type signal. In other words, the LED is lit by current flowing from the segment signal to the common signal (figure on the right).
In fluorescent lights, the segment (the section that lights up) is the anode (positive electrode). The grid electrode is the digit signal, and current flows between the cathode (negative electrode) and the segment. In order for current to flow, the anode and the grid electrode must both be positive against the negative cathode. When both of these are positive, electrons are output from the cathode's heater and flow to the segment electrode, where they light up.
In LCDs (liquid crystal display), if voltage is applied between the electrodes, the liquid crystal array twists, changing the way light passes through. Unlike LEDs, where there is no current flowing in the reverse direction, in LCDs, this change occurs in the same way regardless of whether the polarity of the voltage is changed, so care is required in the non-selection state. Consequently, in addition to full-amplitude voltage, an intermediate voltage is also applied. When displaying something, full-amplitude voltage is applied, and when not displaying anything, intermediate amplitude voltage is applied. Two voltages are therefore insufficient to drive an LCD, and it is difficult to drive an LCD using a normal port.
Voltage must also be applied in both the forward and reverse directions. An LCD driving waveform is shown in the example below. The red sections in the differential voltage chart indicate the period of displaying something.

The City of Mirrors
A NoveleBook - 2016
"The third and final installment in the Passage trilogy. With The Twelve destroyed, many wonder if the threat to humankind also has vanished. But then a terrifying threat shudders the gates of the colony...and Amy--the girl who must save the world, Peter, Alicia, and Michael must at last confront their destinies"--
"In The Passage and The Twelve, Justin Cronin brilliantly imagined the fall of civilization and humanity's desperate fight to survive. Now all is quiet on the horizon--but does silence promise the nightmare's end or the second coming of unspeakable darkness? At last, this bestselling epic races to its breathtaking finale. The world we knew is gone. What world will rise in its place? The Twelve have been destroyed and the hundred-year reign of darkness that descended upon the world has ended. The survivors are stepping outside their walls, determined to build society anew--and daring to dream of a hopeful future. But far from them, in a dead metropolis, he waits: Zero. The First. Father of the Twelve. The anguish that shattered his human life haunts him, and the hatred spawned by his transformation burns bright. His fury will be quenched only when he destroys Amy--humanity's only hope, the Girl from Nowhere who grew up to rise against him. One last time light and dark will clash, and at last Amy and her friends will know their fate. Praise for Justin Cronin "One of those rare authors who work on two different levels, blending elegantly crafted literary fiction with cliff-hanging thrills."--Fort Worth Star-Telegram The Passage "Magnificent. Cronin has taken his literary gifts, and he has weaponized them. The Passage can stand proudly next to Stephen King's apocalyptic masterpiece The Stand, but a closer match would be Cormac McCarthy's The Road."--Time "Read this book and the ordinary world disappears."--Stephen King "[A] big, engrossing read that will have you leaving the lights on late into the night."--The Dallas Morning News The Twelve "[A] literary superthriller, driven at once by character and plot."--The New York Times Book Review "Gripping. Cronin [introduces] eerie new elements to his masterful mythology."--The San Diego Union-Tribune "An undeniable and compelling epic. a complex narrative of flight and

"All things passed away. Even the earth itself, the sky and the river and the stars he loved, would, one day, come to the end of their existence. But it was not a thing to be feared; such was the bittersweet beauty of life."
"For the first time in my life, I felt the pain of missing people I had not yet left."
"Maybe just being alive, and having someone to love who loved you back, was enough."
"There was, Alicia realized, a single hour that all the days since your birth pointed you toward. What you thought was a maze of choices, all the possibilities of what your life might become, was, in fact, a series of steps you took along a road, and when you reached your destination and looked back, only one path—the one chosen for you—was visible."
"I have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons, I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.' That's T.S. Eliot, in case you were wondering. An oldie but a goodie. When it came to existential exhaustion, the man was one smart cookie."
"A lot of life, Michael had learned, came down to trying to fix things that weren't fixable."

The thrilling conclusion to Justin Cronin's AWESOME "Passage" trilogy.
Like JDM's Travis MaGee series, this trilogy illustrates the heights to which genre fiction can ascend in the hands of a Master Craftsman.
Great end to the trilogy...by far my favorite book of the three.
The Passage trilogy, hands down, will become known as one of the best Fantasy and Science-Fiction series of all time. I feel it in my bones and I declare it so.
Anyway, we pick up from where The Twelve left off- the Virals and the Twelve are gone except for the man who started it all- Zero. Quietly he waits, for decades even, for his perfect moment to strike.
What I loved so much about this conclusion was how everything just came together in such a beautiful way; I still have questions, but that is okay. There's minor questions that are still in brewing in the back of my mind, but I like them being unknown in a weird way.
Overall I have so much to say and at the same time so little to say because it is just a magnificent, one-of-a-kind and genuinely original tale of a Girl from Nowhere who will save mankind from its own demise. Justin Cronin's writing is so beautiful and elegant with the perfect amount of grit, emotion, action, and brooding that I feel as if I truly know these characters who I have spent a year with (I read The Passage and The Twelve last June 2015).
Now let's get poppin'on that script, Cronin!
I read this because I read the first two in the series and I had to know how things ended. I'm not generally a horror fan, and this book is like the other three in that it has the features that drive me away from that genre: detailed and gruesome depiction of horrible killings, dwelling on horrible outcomes, and killing off everybody remotely likeable. Still, a good read.
Good wrapping-up of the this post-apocalypstic story. But the first two books were better. A little too much detail in the third book. I agree with other reviewer that editing out 100 pages would have improved the pace and not robbed the reader of the necessary detail. I found it a bit of a slog and was able to put it down often . Mostly to gather strength and push to the end.
What an absolutely beautiful end to the trilogy. I am sure there has never been a more well written vampire apocalypse love story. Anne Rice may have sufficed my young lust but as almost mature, barely straight adult I'll take Justin Cronin. It was the kind of novel that I did not want the story to ever end and if not for Cymbalta I would have been weeping in several parts. But since I'm in the grip of Big Pharma tears won't come unless I forget to dose myself with "Prozium" for a few days then I cry like I'm watching Steel Magnolias for the first time while reading Gloria Steinem.
Not bad. I enjoy the characters Cronin created in this series. There is a final fight scene in this novel that is written with an amazing amount of skill - you read it on the edge of your seat - the movement is just brilliant. Was slightly disappointed with the ending and its open endedness - even in a series I want each book to have a clean ending. Also, could easily have edited out about 100 pages of "you already said that." I sound gripey here but it is a good book. I just feel like it could have been better - especially given Cronin's expert story telling skill.

So I met this guy who just moved to the neighborhood, and fuckin' A. I can't stop grinning something fierce.
Here's the thing I hate about dating: it makes me feel boring. I'm not a boring person. I do exciting shit all the time; unfortunately, half this exciting shit is not first-date-appropriate (politics for starters, my crazy/freaking-me-out-a-little family for middlers, and the BDSM/kink/fetish/sick fuck nonsense for THE END OF THE FUCKING DATE IMMEDIATELY). I make really immature jokes and then laugh at them. My friends and I are obscene. I love my job but my job is not my life and I don't want to sit there and talk about work work work work with some be-suited Manhattan asshole (actually if he's wearing the suit that's totally awesome; I have a sick kink for business suits).
I like talking about writing but the unfortunate thing about being a professional writer is that everybody thinks they can write and I have zero tolerance for listening to someone rabbit on about their bullshit idea for a screenplay unless they are also a professional writer/studied it in college/sold a script for a million dollars/whatever. It feels disrespectful to the sheer amount of time and effort and money and tears and studying and writing writing writing I've done in my life to compare my career as a screenwriter to your aspirations. This is not something I'm going to change my mind about. This makes me an obnoxious dick.
I've been told that I'm intimidating. Sorry? I don't know what to do about that. If you're intimidated by me, I really don't know why. I'm not mean and I won't fuck your shit up just for the hell of it. I won't even fuck your shit up for a reason -- see previous post where I attempted to be nice to a fucking intolerant asshole because I hate being rude. I guess there are elements of my personality that are kind of obnoxious -- my roommate points to my tendency to go from reckless enthusiasm to near-fatalistic cynicism in 4.7 seconds; he says it gives him conversational whiplash. I think it's funny but my sense of humor is weird. Maybe my sense of humor makes me obnoxious; I could just be a dickhead dude-bro in a lady-suit. Straight men -- adult men -- probably don't want to date a dude-bro in a lady-suit.
So I turn it off on a date. I turn off the things that I feel make me interesting or give me any kind of personality whatsoever. (Great. My personality is undateable.) I'm faultlessly polite and I never make a dick joke and I don't even talk about what books I'm reading because one of them is The Ethical Slut and that is one title that when dropped into a conversation will cause the universe to spontaneously make that needle-scratching-on-a-record noise that no one under the age of 40 save vinyl-listening hipsters has ever actually heard in person. So dating makes me feel stifled, and boring, and a little dishonest because what is this be-suited Manhattan asshole going to do when he discovers the dude-bro inside the lady-suit?
But yeah, so I've been cranky about that lately (two stupid-awful dates in a row will do that, I guess). And then last night, a new neighbor who I met a few weeks ago at a Writers Guild lecture texted me to see if we could hang out kinda late. I was more than happy to meet up and I'd poured myself a whiskey-on-the-rocks upon getting home from the aforementioned stupid-awful date (yes, I'm an angry drinker) so I was feeling a little bit of that recklessness.
I wasn't thinking of it as a date. I was thinking, "sweet, new friend!" So I didn't really, you know, dial it down.
And I had a blast. He had a blast. We met up at 11pm and closed out Beauty Bar because we talked for five hours. He walked me home and yeah, there were make-outs and damn he's a good kisser. He texted me at 11 this morning to complain about the slow-ass hipsters making his sandwich at Little Skips -- something we'd joked about the night before. And he told me he couldn't wait to see me again -- that he was tempted to ask me out to dinner today even though he knew he was supposed to feign disinterest. I'm a little freaked out by how much I enjoyed myself, and how much he seems to enjoy me. And it all seems totally honest.
Apparently my personality isn't as poisonous as I'd thought. Sweet. There's a lesson to be learned here.

Buzz Feed Politics' editor-in-chief Ben Smith appeared on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" Monday, and at no time condemned blogger Andrew Sullivan for launching unfounded smears against Pope Benedict or the Catholic Cardinals.
Smith's staff of energetic BenSmithers frequently launch sustained attacks against conservative media over journalistic ethics; and launching unfounded smears that fail to achieve even the basic level of any journalistic standard has become's Sullivan's stock-in-trade. For years, and with zero evidence, Sullivan publicly questioned the parentage of Trig Palin, Sarah Palin's youngest son. Smith is also a well-known Andrew Sullivan fan.
While the issue of Andrew Sullivan's smears never came up on "Morning Joe," that's due in part to the fact that Smith chose not to bring it up.
If this sounds like a silly criticism…
BuzzFeed Politics frequently criticizes Republicans for what they do not say — FL Sen. Marco Rubio is frequently targeted for not saying something.
Because Big Journalism thinks it is important to hold the Obama Media to its own standards, we not only wonder why Smith remained silent about Sullivan's journalistic transgressions, we look forward to reporting on the many things left unspoken by BuzzFeed staffers.

Everyone's been through this particular scenario: you're in an unfamiliar place, bladder full and ready to explode with no restroom in sight. If you're outdoors (and if you're a guy) you'll probably just settle for the nearest tree (which is kind of gross) – if you're a girl, you're pretty much out of luck. Well, that's about to change with Nature's Call for Android, a pinoy-made app that allows users to see if there's any restrooms in the vicinity. Made by Team Comfort of Davao during the recently concluded SanHack. The app doesn't just tell you that there's a toilet nearby – it also gives you an idea if that toilet is paid or not, and if it has water, soap and separate or common stalls installed for both sexes. The app does this by utilizing Google Maps and also tells you how to get to the toilets in question.
Sanhack is a worldwide initiative aimed at developing innovative software solutions that could answer real world problems in sanitation such as lack of access to clean toilets, high incidence of water borne diseases, limited database, poor monitoring system, insufficient funding, weak sanitation market, and poor health education. Among Sanhack's partners was Globe telecom who provided the internet connection for the said event. "We have a great pool of talented developers in the country and we are lucky that a lot of them took time to be part of this social good hackathon. Activities like this not only showcase their skills but also gather up innovative ideas to help address pressing social issues, in this case, sanitation which remains a challenge in the Philippines," said Michelle Santos, Developer Relations Manager of Globe Labs. Winning tools developed during the hackathons will be used to overcome these challenges.

So many things have gone by since my last post. But I am determined to pick up my blogging again!
May: Nathaniel turned 11! I can hardly believe how time flies! After his serious illness last year Nathaniel returned to school to repeat the fourth grade and made it through with flying colors! Now, no longer the smallest and youngest in his class he has made more friends and turned into a bit of a mr. cool. (just ask the girls in his class :)
June: Both kids finished up school and I had a successful audition for the Oregon Children's theater. Always rewarding to get a call back for a big professional company!!!! Unfortunately, I was out of town for the call back weekend - but I will continue to put myself out there!
July and August: somewhat on a spur of the moment the kids and I decided to take the whole summer for a Cross Canada road trip. Hannah kept a blog up about it - you can catch up here: tonersontheroad.blogspot.com
Sept. The kids are back in school - Hannah is in grade Eight and Thaniel is in the Fifth Grade. Its crazy for me to believe that they have grown so much and so quickly!

MAN B&W engine retrofits reduce emissions
MAN Diesel & Turbo has developed what IMO terms "Approved Methods" for retrofitting some of its slow speed diesel engines to reduce emissions. And IMO regulations now require owners of vessels equipped with those engines to install the retrofits.
The retrofits, essentially, involve the installation of modern, slide-type fuel valves, significantly reducing exhaust emissions.
Thomas Knudsen, Senior VP Low-Speed, MAN Diesel & Turbo, says that the company is aware that some shipowners will be thinking of their operational budgets and see the retrofits as being triggered by MAN Diesel & Turbo's development of Approved Methods, but "the only other option is to wait for alternative legislation to be introduced locally worldwide. And that could well be a far costlier prospect."
He concluded: "This decision to introduce Approved Methods has not been taken lightly by MAN PrimeServ. However, injection valves are consumable parts that require regular replacement and, ultimately, we consider this decision as the best solution for our customers, bearing in mind that slide-type fuel valves also generally reduce the amount of on-board maintenance."
IMO's latest revision of emission regulations addresses NOx emissions on engines installed aboard ships built between 1990 - 1999 that are expected to be active in the global fleet for another 10 or 20 years, but that were not previously covered by any guidelines. When Approved Methods are available, they require that shipowners retrofit engines to meet Tier-I IMO emission requirements.
MAN Diesel & Turbo's Approved Method project has developed retrofits for the large number of engines covered by the new IMO legislation. The retrofits consist primarily of the replacement of engine fuel-injection valves with newly developed fuel-injection nozzles, as well as adjustment and certification of the engines.
MAN Diesel & Turbo selected three MAN B&W engine types as first priority for the development of Approved Methods based on their overall potential for emission reduction. In this respect, the company recently carried out an extensive testing and documentation program with its licensees. As a result, the MAN B&W S70MC engine retrofit has now received final clearance as the first Approved Method.
MAN Diesel & Turbo currently has plans for three Approved Methods. It estimates that these will bring about the upgrade of approximately 800 engines over the next few years, resulting in reduced NOx emissions to the tune of 60,000 t annually. The improved fuel-injection technology will also lower emissions of other exhaust gases including carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons and particulates. In fact, many shipowners have already, voluntarily, installed this upgrade due to these benefits.
The approved methods do not increase fuel-oil consumption and, due to the reduced formation of particulates, engine combustion-chambers and gas paths will be cleaner and require less maintenance. Additionally, the low-load performance of the engine will be improved and visible smoke minimized.

Yoo Ah In speaks out about dating and marriage
Yoo Ah In is the hottest young actor right now with his new drama Six Flying Dragons winning double-digit ratings and new film Veteran being a huge box-office hit in Korea. He was also the first solo male cover on Vogue Korea. Naturally, fans want to know what the warmhearted actor thinks about dating and marriage. Here's what he says...
At the 2015 Busan International Film Festival, Yoo Ah In participated in "Open Talk," hosted by the Movie Writers' Association of Korea. The outdoor event held in the BIFF Village at Haeundae was crowded with fans who seemed to be there just for Yoo Ah In.
During the talk session, one fangirl stood up to ask, "Oppa, are you going to get married?"
Yoo Ah In wasn't shy about replying as he said, "I think I've always wanted to get married."
He added, "I want to have a son that looks just like me," and explained that he once saw a father with his adorable son riding on his shoulders.
Aww... that's so sweet.
But, who would be the ideal type for Yoo Ah In? For that answer, we have to go back to a November 2011 interview.
He described his dating experience with this comment, "A past girlfriend used to go back and forth from being uptight and being relaxed. I felt a certain charm in that and wanted her more."
For the future, Yoo Ah In would like to be in a relationship in which he can give his whole heart.
So, that sounds like he will give his whole heart to a girl who can keep his full interest.
In the meantime, Yoo Ah In is reuniting with actress Shin Se Kyung for the long anticipated historical Six Flying Dragons. Will he win her heart and the Joseon kingdom?

Open Thread: Everything You're Reading, Watching, Listening To and Looking At
This is your place to talk about the TV, movies, music, books and art that are thoroughly entertaining you.
I was watching reruns of "America's Next Top Model" the other night, when lo and behold, a voice from my past came creeping out of the TV during the commercial break. It was a husky voice, filled with casual insolence and clipped tones.Twas the voice of Shannen Doherty. Doherty was advertising her newest project, a commercial for Education Connection. In it, she explains that she's done a lot of things -- playing the girl next door, producing, directing -- but that she wanted to do something for her, so now she's getting an online degree in liberal arts. And you can, too! …A couple of things:1) The commercial feels as if it's from a parallel universe, where Shannen Doherty was known as a lovable talk show host, a la Rosie O'Donnell with those damn Koosh balls.2) I checked, and one of the things Doherty produced was a series called "Breaking Up with Shannen Doherty" where she helped couples who wanted to break up but couldn't seem to by devising a "relationship test," and if they failed it, she would break them up. Not a show that Jennie Garth would have been involved in.3) The commercial is bonkers, with Doherty dressing up like a chef, a "business woman," and a lab tech, among other things. Each one further inspired me to comically rub my eyes, as if I were seeing things. But I digress.
The reason why I was so agitated by the commercial was because I love Shannen Doherty, if in a complicated way.
In "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," where I first saw her, Doherty played the good girl, a side character who didn't get to dance like Sarah Jessica Parker or be zany like Helen Hunt, but she got to come along for the ride. The next time I saw her, in "Heathers," it was like watching a phoenix rising.
In that movie, Doherty goes from being the put-upon, wallflower Heather to becoming the bitchy queen bee, and it's clear that her talent for playing such characters is flawless. In her 90210 years, she perfected the character I'd like to call "Turn Your Back at Your Own Risk," the type of character she has continued to play all these years. Doherty is absolutely perfect at playing a girl who seems nice enough, but some ancient, mammalian instinct in your blood will not allow you to like her. Maybe it's the steely glint in her eye. Maybe it's the way that every line of dialogue she utters sounds like a threat. Perhaps it's how she purses her lips when she's listening to someone, seeming to prepare herself to annihilate you. It could even be her life-long perfect bangs.
All I know is that just hearing her voice on TV the other night froze me in my tracks and caused me to start thumping the ground with my hind leg, as if to warn my fellow rabbits that a forest fire was approaching. I'm not even going to address her real life shenanigans. She might have been crazy on "90210," posed in Playboy, been in trouble with the law or gotten axed from "Charmed" for her attitude -- I honestly don't care. I don't know she acts around her friends and family, but I do know that she has an onscreen persona that, even in a commercial for online college, intimidates the shit out of me. And I am still crazy for Shannen, after all these years! So cheers to you, Shannz, for reminding grown-up me what it's like to feel terrified of another woman. Well done. Good luck with your liberal arts degree.

First Audi A8 L 4.2 TDI in India custom made for Abhishek Bachchan: Red interiors it had to be (Photos)
Setting new standards for luxury and elegance, Audi launched its newly supercharged Audi A8 L 4.2 TDI for Indian markets. The luxury sedan will be available at all showrooms across the county and is priced at Rs. 1,00,75,000 (ex-showroom Maharashtra) onwards. Keeping in mind the philosophy of 'Vorsprung durch Technik', the Audi A8 L exudes elegance and luxury through its intelligent engineering and technical specifications.
The current model is 13 cm longer than the previous version. Lightweight ultra strong aluminum technology has been used to design this car. Comfortable individual rear seats with power footrest and massage functions as also entertainment options are some of the features of this new model. Straight lines, state of the art finish and attention given to minute details define opulence of this car.
Abhishek Bachchan's custom made car wears a bold shade of red all through the seating, as well as control panel, and steering wheel. And yes, commuting across Mumbai becomes easier when there's an automated masseur in the rear seat. While the purchase could easily be termed a spoil of AB's recent Bollywood success, Bol Bachchan, truth is the actor began working with the luxury vehicle brand about a year ago deciding on custom options.
Abhishek receives key of his new Audi from Michael Perschke
The V8 4.2 TDI diesel engine provides about 350Hp and 800Nm of torque between 1750 and 2750 rpm. These specifications make it the sportiest saloon in the luxury class. The car accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 5.6 seconds. And contrary to popular rumor, this car isn't being bought for Abhishek Bachchan's daughter, but for the actor himself. Incidentally, this is also his first car purchase. A feature that stands out in his eyes is quattro, the love for which found strong roots back when he was in Europe in his younger days, and the Quattro enabled family car was an easy drive on snow. His love for Audi extends to exchanging notes about the German luxury automaker with fellow actor John Abraham.

Australia is now offering women at-home abortion kits
Deciding to have an abortion is not easy. All the personal reasons aside, the actual procedure is unpleasant and often expensive, not to mention inaccessible for many women around the world.
However, Australia may have found a way to make the process of getting an abortion a whole lot easier. The Tabbot Foundation is giving Australian women the ability to have safe abortions in their own home — all they have to do is have a phone consultation, a blood test and an ultrasound to make sure their pregnancy is eligible.
You might be wondering how this is possible, considering that until now, most medically approved abortions have only been performed in a doctor's office. According to the foundation's website, "Abortion has been revolutionised by the use of new medications which have been available throughout the world for more than a decade but have been restricted for use in Australia until more recently."
More: 3 Moms on why they don't regret terminating a pregnancy
These medications, known as mifepristone and misoprostol, essentially cause you to miscarry and can be used on early term pregnancies up until nine weeks. The site claims it's safer than surgical abortions because it can be performed earlier and is far less invasive. It's also been used for years already by millions of women, and so far the risks of complications have been minimal.
The process of being approved for an abortion by medication is simple enough: You call the foundation's number, and it sets up a blood test and ultrasound for you. After your results are in, a licensed doctor and psychologist discusses the abortion with you over the phone and ultimately determines whether you're fit to receive an abortion kit.
If you are, the abortion kit you'll receive contains antinausea drugs, painkillers, prophylactic antibiotics and the two aforementioned drugs that induce the miscarriage. All this, including the consultations, tests and an on-call doctor for the duration of your at-home abortion, comes to the low cost of $250 — a little more than half the cost of your average surgical abortion.
It's also extremely helpful for women in more-rural areas, who don't have access to a local clinic. Reproductive Choice Australia co-president Jenny Ejlak said, "It will provide access to medical termination in a lot of parts of the country where it's not available at all, but it will also provide an option for women that is probably going to be a lot cheaper than the other clinics."
A medical abortion can take a few hours to work through your body and feels akin to severe period cramps. According to the foundation's FAQs page, the bleeding usually starts out heavy, then tapers off, but may come back on and off until your next period.
Based on clinical trials in Canada, Turkey and the United States, the procedure is 91-98 percent effective at terminating a pregnancy. However, the foundation requires you to have a blood test 10 days after you perform the abortion to make sure it worked.
More: Women shouldn't have to apologize for their abortions
The legality of it all is where things get a bit tricky. As of now, some states and territories in Australia don't allow abortions at all or of this nature, but the foundation makes sure either way before approving one. So far it looks like this new system may revolutionize this otherwise difficult process Down Under, which could pave the way for similar organizations in other countries.
That said, one can only imagine how much red tape and protests the Tabbot Foundation would have had to endure to offer such abortions in the United States.

I'm back with another ultra chocolatey recipe. It's been almost two weeks since I posted my last chocolate recipe, which is a long time not to use one of my most favorite ingredients ever. (The Nutella Hot Fudge from two weeks ago is hard to beat as my favorite chocolate recipe.) But these cookie dough brownies also rank up there as one of my all time favorites. I just can't say no to brownies or chocolate chip cookies and here I get both.
I'm a person who loves cookies, but is all over the dough first. Cookie dough is the best therapy for me. I don't need fancy flavor profiles and gourmet ingredients, just give me a bowl and let me eat to my hearts content. I promise I'll love you forever.
A version of these cookie dough brownie has been around since I have been little. It was always a favorite at our house. However, I thought it could use a little improvement. I switched up the brownie base to my favorite fudgy brownies ever!! And then I added mini chocolate chips to the cookie dough. Somehow when we were little we never noticed the cookie dough didn't have any chocolate chips. But now in my cookie dough connoisseur days, their absence is very apparent and easily remedied. The only downside to making these is waiting for them to cool enough to spread on the dough and top chocolate layer on, and then waiting for that chocolate layer to set up. But they are oh-so amazing when they are done.
- 1 batch of my Fudgy Cocoa Brownies
- 4 T butter, softened
- ⅔ cup brown sugar
- 2 T milk
- ⅔ cup flour
- ½ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 and ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 T shortening
- Make the brownies in a 9x9 in pan and let them cool completely.
- In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Stir in milk alternately with the flour. Add the mini chocolate chips and stir until they are well distributed.
- Spread the cookie dough mixture on top of the brownies. Cover and place in the refrigerator.
- Meanwhile, place chocolate chips and shortening in a microwavable bowl. Microwave to 10 seconds at a time, stirring between each interval. When the chocolate is melted and smooth, remove brownies from the refrigerator and spread the chocolate evenly across the top. Refrigerate for at least two hours or until the set. Cut into small squares. They are rich!

Library HistoryOur library is named for the beloved rabbi and scholar who served our congregation in the 1950s. Upon his untimely death in 1959, his widow left his book collection to us as a living legacy. There were over 2,000 books: works of philosophy, history, and biography, volumes in Hebrew, German, and Yiddish, an extraordinary reference section. The collection included classics written by Rabbi Trachtenberg himself: Jewish Magic and Superstition and The Devil and the Jews.
Over the years the library has continued to grow and flourish, thanks to the generous donations and the dedicated service of congregants. The library remains a valuable resource for research into all aspects of Jewish life from ancient days to modern times. The library now offers over 3,500 books, videos, books on tape, current magazines, newspapers, as well as children's books.
In the fall of 1998 the library moved into spacious and inviting new quarters. Now light streams in through the stained glass windows that once graced Temple Emeth's original Larch Avenue home. Rabbi Trachtenberg's portrait and biography are prominently displayed. He seems to be looking on approvingly. We take great pride in the library that bears his name.
AccreditationThe Rabbi Joshua Trachtenberg Memorial Library has received basic accreditation from the Association of Jewish Libraries, which recognizes that we have met the professional objectives and standards the AJL sets for Jewish libraries.
MissionThe Rabbi Joshua Trachtenberg Memorial Library Center's mission is to be Temple Emeth's hub of Jewish learning. In our comfortable, warm and inviting library we have materials ranging from ancient texts to modern technology-for the scholar, the adult learner, the religious school student, and the nursery school child. We support the Temple's programs as well as serve the individual by offering access to a wide range of resources-books, periodicals, newspapers, videos, and audiotapes. We aim to be a place where committed Reform Jews can cultivate and strengthen their Jewish identity through the study of Jewish history, practice, theology, culture, philosophy and values.
Programs and DisplaysLibrary programs are often coordinated with other Temple activities. A showcase of books about mysticism can further illuminate a museum exhibit on that theme. A particular author's books may be featured when that author speaks to an adult education group. Sometimes the library hosts the Temple Emeth Book Club. The religious school also joins forces with the library to provide holiday storytelling sessions for children.
The library has mounted many varied displays, some timeless and others timely, such as:
Of course, books that have been on special display remain available once they return to the shelves.
The library offers more than just books. Our periodical section is extensive, up-to-date, and easily accessible. Our videos and books on tape are much in demand, too.
Circulation PolicyTemple members may borrow books. Nonmembers are welcome to browse.New and noteworthy books may be borrowed for two weeks.Other books may be borrowed for four weeks.Pamphlets, videos and books on tape may be borrowed for one week.Three items may be borrowed at one time.
HOURSThe library is open whenever the building is open, or you may call the Temple office at (201) 833-1322 for special requests.
Books-On-WheelsCan't get to the library? Don't have time to browse during the week? We will bring the library to you! Well, part of it anyway. During an Oneg, you can check out books right in the social hall. Look for a table with a handpicked selection. We will periodically have a table and rolling cart in the social hall containing current and timely books. Feel free to browse and borrow without leaving the room. The simple borrowing instructions will be posted to make the process stress-free.

Elderly woman in Shanghai mistakes bullet train for subway, ends up 200 miles away in Nanjing
An 86-year-old Chinese woman mistook the bullet train in Shanghai for the local subway line, resulting in an unexpected trip to the city of Nanjing. After buying groceries, the woman reportedly followed someone who she thought to be her neighbor into the bullet train station. She then mistakenly purchased the 140 RMB (about $23 USD) ticket instead of the subway fare, thinking it was the correct amount.
Mrs. Chen was later found very confused by local police in Nanjing, which is about 200 miles from Shanghai and an hour-long ride on the bullet train. She is hard of hearing and has a strong regional accent, which made it hard for the police to communicate with her. Luckily, they found a card with her son's information and where able to contact him. They then arranged for return transportation to Shanghai, and Mrs. Chen eventually arrived home safely.
For your reference, here's a map of the distance between these two cities.
What she thought was an ordinary trip to the grocery store sure turned into a much bigger adventure! Can you believe she mistook the bullet train for the subway? Please share your thoughts below!

Did You Know?
It has been suggested that the word sawbuck came to mean a 10-dollar bill because the X-shaped ends of a sawbuck look like the Roman numeral for 10. This explanation is problematic because earliest known use of sawbuck in print, from 1850, refers to a 10-dollar bill, not a sawhorse. But we won't rule out the possibility that the sawhorse sense was used in speech before 1850 and just didn't appear in print until later. If you are wondering about buck, we can tell you that it first appeared in print as a word for dollar in 1856 - six years after the first recorded use of sawbuck for a 10-dollar bill.
