Boss Steve Evans didn't hide from the fact the balls hadn't been kind to Rotherham United when the draw for the FA Cup third round was made.
His team were paired wth AFC Bournemouth, now riding high at the top of the Championship, and the fact that the clash would be at New York Stadium was about the only positive he could find.
"It's at home," he said.
"Apart from that, it's stinking!"
The two teams go head to head tomorrow.
"Bournemouth are a terrific team. Let's not kid ourselves, there is some huge investment going on there," Evans added.
"They will be up there in the top five budgets in the league, backed by a billionaire Russian owner.
"But I don't think Bournemouth will have been looking at their television screens and saying 'that's a great draw for us at Rotherham'. A good team will be out of the cup."
Evans has long been an admirer of Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson who the South Coast club prised from Coventry in the summer for £3 million
Wilson has netted 13 times in 24 games this season.
Meanwhile, former Millers loan striker Matt Tubbs could be about to leave Bournemouth.
The 30-year-old, who scored just once for the Millers in a five-month spell, is out of contract at Goldsands Stadium at the end of the season and is attracting interest after hitting 15 goals while on loan at League Two AFC Wimbledon this campaign.
Cherries manager Eddie Howe said: "Matt has done well at AFC Wimbledon this season and has scored goals.
"He is available and really it will be up to Matt to decide what the next step in his career is. Whether that is a permanent move at this stage, we will have to wait and see."
Youngsters Mitchell Rose and Nicky Walker have been released by the Millers.

TSG is unique in the range of products and services it offers in our markets. As a result, TSG can be your single point of contact and responsibility for all your water supply and wastewater treatment requirements.
Our ServicesTreatment System Experts. TSG has unparalleled engineering expertise and deep operational experience in water and wastewater utilities in coastal and island environments. Treatment plants and systems are all we do at TSG; no other company in our markets has the depth of knowledge and experience we do in the design, construction and operation of both desalination and wastewater treatment systems in these environments.
New and Existing Plants. TSG can provide whatever you need for your water or wastewater treatment requirements, whether that is delivering a new plant on a turnkey basis, upgrading or modifying your existing plant, or simply operating and maintaining an existing plant.
Leading Edge Technologies. We at TSG pride ourselves on identifying and utilizing leading edge technologies that can provide significant benefits to our clients. Many of the newer technologies can reduce power costs and increase efficiencies and reliability, resulting in significant cost savings and a longer useful life.
Island and Coastal Experience. Most of the work that TSG does is in the islands of the Caribbean and in coastal areas. These environments are harsh and corrosive, and only the highest quality materials and aggressive preventive maintenance programs can keep your plants operating as the fully reliable utilities you need.
Resorts and Private Developments. TSG has special experience and expertise in the large, high-end resort market, especially golf course resorts. These properties have particular requirements that must be taken into consideration when planning, building and operating utilities, including sound attenuation, finished water quality, incremental phasing, and odor control. All of these are issues with which TSG has extensive experience and for which we have effective solutions.
Our ApproachCustom Turnkey Projects. Unlike many other suppliers, TSG provides a total solution to our clients, not just a manufactured process unit. We design our systems specifically for your requirements, including feedwater supply, brine discharge, pretreatment, post treatment, finished water pumping, storage and long term operation and maintenance.
Built for the Islands. TSG designs and builds its plants specifically for harsh island and coastal environments which are highly corrosive. We use only the highest grade materials that are corrosion resistant and will last for many, many years. In our experience, the cost in repairs, replacements and reliability far outweigh the relatively modest cost of lesser quality construction.Energy Efficiency. In most of the markets we serve, power is extremely expensive. It is therefore imperative that the entire system be designed to minimize the use of power.
Lowest Life Cycle Cost. In providing treatment systems and services to our clients, our primary focus is on making sure that the systems will provide the lowest life cycle cost possible. In many cases, especially where power costs are high, the cost of operating these systems can far outweigh the capital cost of constructing them, so using the most energy efficient design and components and the most robust materials are paramount.
Desalination SystemsSeawater and Brackish Water. We design, build and operate both seawater and brackish water desalination systems.
Related Facilities. We can also design and implement all related facilities, including feedwater and disposal wells, seawater intakes and brine discharges, pretreatment and post treatment systems, and finished water pumping systems.Energy Efficiency. TSG uses highly efficient positive displacement membrane feed pumps wherever possible, along with pressure exchanger energy recovery units and highly efficient membranes. We also minimize other pumping requirements to avoid unnecessary power costs.
Wastewater SystemsAll Types and Technologies. We design, build and operate all types of wastewater treatment plants, including extended aeration plants, sequencing batch reactor (SBR) plants and membrane bioreactor (MBR) plants. TSG is not tied to any one type of technology but can provide exactly the right solution for each client.
Special Expertise in MBRs. TSG has special expertise in treatment systems using membrane bioreactors (MBRs). MBRs provide the most advanced treatment possible for wastewater, and TSG has experience and can provide both hollow fiber and flat plate types. MBRs have distinct advantages particularly for resort properties, including a small footprint; guaranteed high quality, odorless and safe effluent for irrigation; ability to handle significant changes in flows; simple phasing without operational interruptions; and greater assurance against odors at the plant.
Operation and MaintenanceThe Right Solution. Whatever your needs and budget, TSG can design the right operational support service for you, whether that is full time, full responsibility or periodic support of your own staff, and whether that consists of weekly, monthly or quarterly services.
Full Responsibility O&M. Most of TSG's clients have found that retaining TSG to take full responsibility for the operation and maintenance of its plant makes the most sense in the long run. When TSG assumes full responsibility, we guarantee the plant's reliability, you will have guaranteed and predictable costs for the term of the agreement, and we will assure you protection of your investment. In this arrangement, TSG takes 100% responsibility for all repairs and replacements of mechanical equipment, including membranes, for the term of the agreement, up to 15 to 20 years.Related Systems. TSG can also take responsibility for related mechanical systems like high service pumping systems and lift stations.

What is a Maverick
Posted by maverick | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 16-10-2009
Why Maverick?
Well someone, a long time ago, when confronted with my "rock the boat and damn the torpedoes" attitude, said "You're a real maverick!" (non-portuguese guy). I didnt know what that was so I went and checked.
It seems that cowboys (namely Samuel Maverick) who didnt brand their cattle with hot irons (so as to be able to steal other cowboy's cattle) were called "maverick". The term was extended to be use as a way to refer to an unbranded range animal. Which pretty well fits me: I never got branded with the corporate irons (aside from a stint in Public Administration).
But its more than that: as you probably checked out in the links above, the term "maverick" was further extended and is now used to refer to:
- "one who does not abide by rules"
- "someone showing independence in thoughts or actions";
- "someone who is independently minded";
- "One who creates or uses unconventional and/or controversial ideas or practices."
- "One that refuses to abide by the dictates of or resists adherence to a group; a dissenter."
- "Being independent in thought and action or exhibiting such independence"
- "a person who takes an independent stand, as in politics, from that of a party or group"
Yeah, check 7x. But I particularly liked the synonyms: individualist, lone gunman, nonconformist, rebel. Gotta love that desperado Colt packing cowboy Western movie image…
And to top it off, a "maverick" is also the name of a poker hand:
Once again it pretty much fits. I like gambling, especially when I know that my chances of winning are high.
It goes on into bullshit territory when its used as business buzzword for a leadership consulting company (which specializes in "maverick" management no less). But its a nice description anyway.
So there you go.

The National Professional Golf Tour is the creation of avid golfer and accomplished entrepreneur Larry Lunsford. Mr. Lunsford's professional interest in golf began in Florida while working as an apprentice at the Jack Nicklaus Signature Course at the Grand Cypress Resort in Orlando. In 1996, he accepted a position at Grand Cypress Resort, the sister course to Arnold Palmer's Bayhill Country Club and Lodge, as an apprentice operator. While attending turf school during the evening, Larry learned every aspect of the golf course design, maintenance, and management business and during the day he worked at the golf courses. In 1996, Larry continued to pursue his interest in golf by founding the "American Amateur Golf Tour," the world's largest amateur golf tour. Larry sold the tour to an investment group in 2005, and it is now known as the Golf Channel Amateur Tour and airs on cable's The Golf Channel.
The National Professional Golf Tour was born in 2009 out of Mr. Lunsford's desire to give aspiring golfers the chance to earn their way to the PGA Tour. In 2010, NPGT and Larry joined forces with the Arnold Palmer Golf Management and Century Golf Partners to offer a dream to some of the top golfers in the United States. The NPGT is also a supporter of the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children, a 150 Bed facility providing care for kids of Central Florida. Raising money for charity is one of the main objectives of the NPGT and its tournament directors.
In March 2010, aspiring golfers will have the opportunity to participate in professionally run golf tournaments across the country. The National Professional Golf Tour (NPGT) is launching a 12-tournament season in each of the 22 cities across the country. Sponsored by ProPlay Sports and Parker Golf, the tournaments are designed as a stepping-stone for professional golfers whose ultimate goal is to play on the PGA, Nationwide or Champions Tour.
Unlike other professional tours, golfers who participate in the National Professional Golf Tour won't have travel all over the state or region to find a tournament. The tour locations and schedules are combined with the ease of purchasing membership packages, eliminate the weekly travel costs, hotel and restaurant expenses and outrageous entry fees that characterize other tours. The NPGT provides golfers with a competitive golf experience that is both affordable and convenient.
In 2010, the NPGT will be making hosting tournaments across the country including Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Seattle, San Antonio, Miami, Atlanta, San Diego, Phoenix, Kansas City and Dallas and more. In 2011, the tour will expand to include Chicago, Nashville, locations in North and South Carolina, Colorado and Louisiana. Members of the National Professional Golf Tour may compete on both their local tour as well as any NPGT tournament nationwide.
The NPGT is open to professional golfers of all ages who may compete in one of two divisions. Any player with a 4 handicap or better may compete in the Open division while the Masters division is reserved for players 40 years of age or older with a handicap of 6 or better.
There are currently six membership packages available, ranging from a single amateur tournament to a platinum membership, which includes all twelve tournaments and the three Major events. A $1200.00 annual membership fee grants players an opportunity to compete in any of the 22 markets across the country. Pricing for membership packages ranges from $500 to $10,025 and members who win tournament events are eligible to have the $1200 membership fee waived for up to three years.
NPGT golfers also have the opportunity to compete in three 54-hole Major events, The National Open Championship, The Players Championship and The Southern Masters. The tour culminates in two events, the National Cup Match Play event and the National Tour Championship and members must qualify to participate in these events.
At stake in the National Cup match play event is a $25,000 prize. The top 124 money leaders from each division who have participated in at least eight tournaments are invited to compete in the National Tour Championship where players have the chance to compete for both a $500,000 purse. The first place winner will receive $100,000 in prize money as well as the prestige of the Tour Championship title.
Members also have the opportunity to qualify for a paid entry into the PGA Q-School, where they'll have the chance to compete for a spot on the PGA Tour. Additionally, the NPGT's Player of the Year will receive a $10,000 bonus.
The National Professional Golf Tour is an exciting opportunity for professional golfers to enjoy the prestige of playing in a national golf tournament while gaining valuable experience that can potentially carry over to a spot on the PGA or Nationwide Tours. The tour's affordability and convenience, combined with the hundreds of thousands of dollars in available prize money make the NPGT a tour unlike any other. The NPGT experience is one that is sure to benefit aspiring golfers of all ages in realizing their professional goals.

I came across this book while viewing N.T. Wright's Udemy course called Worldviews, the Bible, and the Believer. This book was first published in 1992 and was republished in 2014 with a postscript added in responses to the world change over the gap of 22 years. This book has received quite a mix of reactions. Some people love it while some find it quite disappointing. I think I kind of understand both types of response. Let me first give my two cents on why some may find the book dull:
First, this book, although short, is not an easy-read for general readers like me. Written with an academic tone, I did occasionally find it – mostly chapter three – dry to read. Second, some may find Walsh not "neutral" enough in this book in terms of politics. His critique of political parties such as the Bush Administration can get quite personal at times. But hey, this is his book, he surely is entitled to his views! Third, his critique of Fukuyama is lengthy in a way that blows the book out of portion. One would expect this critique to be an illustration to support his thesis but somehow, the critique itself ends up like the main course. Fourth, some believers may find it offensive (not me) that Walsh compares songwriter Cockburn and his songs to Jeremiah and his prophetic words. Fifth, at times, perhaps because of his long critique on political parties and social systems, Walsh seems to give readers an impression that he has his hope set on reconstructing the world by human effort (sort of on the edge of a social gospel) even though he did say that the Kingdom of God, meaning the restoration of creation, is not something we produce (pg. 94). Or, perhaps Walsh is a post-millennialist?
Nevertheless, notwithstanding the above, I still find the book worth reading with the following reasons:
- Walsh's emphasis on our primary identities being image-bearers. One cannot deny the fact that many presentations of the gospel today begin with Genesis 3. Walsh nails it when he says we live in an image-conscious society just like the 6th century babylonians, yet just as the Israelites in those days, our experience of exile "cannot define reality for us". Walsh also states beautifully that both female and male are equal co-partners and gardeners who function as stewards of creation (pg. 22). Work is therefore a form of worship where we serve our neighbour with stewardly care of creation.
- Walsh presents the concept of human having dominion over creation in a refreshing way. To have dominion over the creation, according to Walsh, means to follow the one we call Domine: Lord. To have dominion means "to pick up the cross and follow Him" ; "to lay down one's life for that which we have dominion over"; "to sacrifice one's power and one's gain for the sake of the other".
- Walsh pleas for a wake-up call for the Church. "While the Church is fighting among themselves, we are falling into a deeper sleep." writes Walsh (pg. 30). While our sleep has made us insensitive to the spirits of the age, causing us to live a dualistic life, we have also forgotten the real battle is between the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Darkness.
- Walsh emphasises the need of lament. Because of our deep sleep, the Church has forgotten how to lament like Jeremiah. To be a prophetic people, we need to lament over the sickness of our society while bringing hope by initiating self-critique and passionate speaking.
- Walsh offers sharp criticism towards idolising capitalism, nationalism, scientism, technicism, and economism, etc.
- Believe it or not, this is actually my favourite part, and I give Walsh lots of respect for it: Walsh, as a reformed Christian, criticises the "over-intellectualisation of the reformed faith". The intellectualisation of the Christian faith "makes professing Christ into a matter of saying 'I do' to a system of theological dogmas rather than I do to a bridegroom named Jesus who wants to enter into a relationship of passionate covenant keeping with you and me". As a result, faith becomes static instead of dynamic, and Christians become reluctant to let reality inform our worldview. This humility is refreshing.
- Walsh encourages an active waiting for a miracle, that is, a full redemption of every aspect of our lives. What does an active waiting look like?"If your hope is to be found in a heavenly liar that is totally discontinuous with this earthly existence, then it is not surprising if the way in which that hope is manifest in simply in so-called spiritual exercises like fellowship church-going and personal evangelism. If however one has a hope in a new creation, a restoration of the creational life, then mundane things like buying fields behind enemy lines are powerful symbols of that hope. (92)
That's it. With a heavy book comes a heavy book review. I will end with the encouraging ending of the postscript,
"Build houses in a culture of homelessness. Plant gardens in polluted and contested soil. Get married in a culture of sexual consumerism. Make commitments in a world where we want to always keep our options open . Multiply in a world of debt. Have children at then of shirty. Seek shalom in a violent world of geo-political conflict and economic disparity. This is Jeremiah's\s word to the exiles. This is Jeremiah's subversive word to us. And in this vision we just might see, with Jeremiah, a future with hop. This is what means to work and wait for a miracle. This remains at the heart of a subversive Christianity." (pg. 124)

In the morning of 12th February, Wang Hongyan, the Party Secretary of the Communist Youth League representing the Central Communist Youth League visited and had a look at the students of UIBE who had stayed at school during the spring festival, followed by the vice minister of the school department in CYL Li Ji, the vice secretary of Beijing Municipal Committee Xiong Zhuo, the deputy director Zhang Xiaoyun and so on. The vice secretary of the party committee Wen Jun welcomed the secretary Wang Hongyan accompanied by the minister of Students Affairs Department Wang Yunhai, the chief of the office of the Academic Affairs Jiang Xianling and the secretary of SIE Liu Jinlan and so on.
Wang came to SIE to visit and comfort the representatives of the international students who stayed at school, and brought wishes and extended greetings to them. The international students sat with the leaders and teachers of UIBE, and made a brief self-introduction of them. They were from different countries, different classes and even majored in different fields, and they are ranging from senior students of undergraduate to PHD students, and even some post graduate students who majored in IEMBA. Among which some are senior officers and senior economists, and even some devote themselves to being a bridge to communicating political and economic relations. Wang Hongyan communicated with the international students passionately, and they were concerned with their study and life in UIBE, and they even communicate and discuss the development of the youth and their cultural communication. The students were very glad to say that they were very happy to study in UIBE and felt very warm there because they had learned a lot in UIBE. The international students also made their suggestions and thoughts about the bilateral communication between China and abroad.
Wang and her colleague visited and comforted the Chinese students stayed in school and also paid a visit to UIBE Museum.

I'll give it a quick final check to make sure you're on the right path, and then remove this note. Thanks for your submission and we hope to see your project published soon!
I am sorry, I'd like to be positive and/or constructive. But the "shortcut" you have found is the normal multiplication with its steps mixed. It is not that short.
No problem I noticed that after I posted this. I posted it in the summer when my math skills were low:p. For some reaon I do it faster this way though.
Not just that but I have some real instructables coming up and I wanted to figure out the format/ how to post before I did them. I'm going to try to delete this
There are several ways and methods of doing this (for instance: 52 X 36 = 1872... Done Mentally! etc). But I don't want this to sound negative, just to open a few doors for you.
For me, it would be much easier to multiply 36 x 100 then divide that (3600) in half (1800) and add 2x36 (or 72) to it.
We all think in different ways, and learn in different ways, so being open to a lot of ways to do these problems makes it more certain that you will have a better acceptance of at least ONE methodology presented.
I think your method only works for that problem.
I normally work out how I will do each problem.....for instance, in my head, to take 59 X 41 I can multiply 41 X 6 easily enough 246) then add a 0 on the end to get 2460 then subtract a 41 to get 2419 :-)
There are several ways to do it....
I do it that way too, but if you get one of those problems where there is no apparent shortcut, or you are stuck, this is a good method to fall back on. I do you method a bit differently though. I divide by the fraction 1/2 (maybe you do this too) so that if I have a different number I can divide by another fraction if needed. Like 1/4 ore 1/10.
yes it doesn't matter which is done first, so whichever is easiest for each individual :-)
"3. Combine the numbers in their appropriate places to form 3254. 3200+54= 3254."
you need to actually say "add two zeros to your second number, THEN add the first." Using your example, i tried 10x11 and it didn't work right. I added 2 zeros and it worked just fine.
Just something to make your math completely fool-proof.
Not being a jerk here, just helping.
good trick though.
Hey no problem, thanks for the help.

I had every intention of doing some sort of power rankings, but it became too cumbersome to bother distinguishing between mediocrity. Instead I'll just rattle off statistics and rumors on each of the 32 franchises.
Milwaukee Directives – Leading the division, despite having a winning percentage that does not befit their expected winning percentage. With a deficit in the run differential, you would not expect this team to be 21-15. There is a talented roster here, but the 8-1 record in one run games suggests a regression to the mean. Luckily, the mean still might be enough to win the AL North. Also, Darrin Snyder is riding a 17 game hitting streak which can be attributed to his new routine of not allowing himself to read anything while shitting. Perhaps the time saved stalling on the toilet has given him the extra BP reps he needed to succeed. It might be in jeopardy now, though, not just because I jinxed it: Josh Malone just bought a subscription to In Touch magazine.
Toledo Tapefaces – With enough raw talent in the organization, this team could easily just decide to win now and take the division. But calvinhydro has been playing the waiting game with this organization and has tried to accumulate many top prospects. With their low payroll and tankish seasons, they're on their way along the Fregoe standard. However, Andres Crespo, his top pitcher, has been walking several batters this season just because he likes the funny music they play in the stadium whenever someone gets walked.
Cleveland Aboriginii – Lead the league in infield hits. Not because they're fast or anything, just because Tom Eichorn nudges the first base bag several feet closer to home plate at the end of each defensive inning, just to see how long it'll take before the umpires notice.
Montreal There's Feces In There – In case you weren't aware of what "there" referred to, nowadays it means the fielding abilities of gin's team. He has had 19 negative plays without a single good play in the field. This is mostly because Vin Delgado and Harry Blanco asked Randy Sherman nicely if they can play CF and 3B respectively. And despite each one having the range of kbjone singing, Sherman obliged. He's a sucker for the word "please".
Norfolk Southern – On one hand, I'd like to say the 5-1 record in one run games shows this team is overperforming, but the strong young roster suggests maybe they just waited to bring up some talent until they no longer costed a year on the arbitration clock. The class of a weak division, but Orlando Zapata keeps drilling gloryholes into the restroom stalls in the lockerroom.
Pittsburgh Ermeister Meisterburgher – Way to lead the league in balks, assholes. Basically the AAAA team for Mexico City.
Buffalo Fat Crazy Whores – An anemic offense combined with shitty pitching should indicate this team will be competing for the first draft choice next season, but their division sucks. Just looking at the division record, they might be able to rack up some wins against teams that are trying even less. If that's possible. Also, Buddy Flood got a chopstick four inches into his urethra, thus winning the lockerroom bet.
New York DANZAS – If nuge isn't trying, why should I? Second fewest runs scored in all of the world, and giving up a shit-ton of runs. The expected winning percentage is abysmal, but it probably won't change much as the season progresses. In rebuild mode, clearly.
Montgomery Stan Rhodes Memorials – BEST RECORD IN THE LEAGUE, BITCHES. The defense is playing lights out, they're scoring a lot of runs, and they're pitching well. The bottom will surely fall out, but this is the beginning of a new renaissance in Montgomery.
Kansas City Wok – Maybe babypop is overestimating the effect of tandems in today's sim. Just because it worked for gin eons ago, doesn't mean it's still an exploitable glitch. Not being able to get pitching up to par, and unable to hold onto leads late in games. Talented lineup should rebound, but it's a little telling that there hasn't been a single quality start in Kansas City. And Glen Judd wore a San Antonio Griffo Focas Flavio Dicas cowboy hat to the CMA awards, as he was there to support his kin. The Wok fans were upset at this slap in the face.
San Antonio Griffo Focas Flavio Dicas – That name sucks to write. Still below .500, but with an expected winning percentage and pitching ability to make a steady climb, this team should be in the playoff picture. Wellington Sanchez is complaining publicly about still being stuck in AAA. He called rlahann retarded. And I'd trust his judgement because my projections show he has a great eye.
Louisville Break your knees bitches – Bret showed signs of improvement, and his team is getting better… But he's still bret. Look who he has playing shortstop. Earl Bennett lost four fingers in a fireworks mishap. He shouldn't be playing that position. Also, bret just realized that the recommendations by the system aren't really the best settings to use. He would just let the system set his rotation for him. Keep him away from Wellington Sanchez, too.
Salem Slores – Best team in the league. Unfortunately moy is insuffereable so we all root for his failure.
Colorado Rapids – Surprisingly good, despite having shitty luck in extra inning games and losing games with their bullpen. They score a lot of runs and induce a lot of groundouts, but their success seems like it might not last.
Honolulu Hookahs – I'm getting lazy. I don't want to write that much for each team at this point and I have fifteen minutes to get the rest of this done. The run differential and the success in one run games is really showing a dropoff looming.
Scottsdaleicious Boobies – This team is playing terrible. They have too many good hitters to be 12-24. Though being 0-9 in one run games is just a fluke. They can turn it around, but the question is whether or n ot Fregoe even wants to. He could just suck it up and suck it up, go shitty to get that top pick. It would be his modus opperandi.
Minnesota Short Grass – How is this team doing so well? Not only are they 21-15 for the season, but the run differential shows they should be doing even better. For one, they lead the NL in number of pitches seen. So they're probably just making the other team work a lot harder. Or maybe it's because Johnny Rosen drinks the piss of Olympic bodybuilders, hoping the distilled steroid juice can inflate his power numbers.
Detroit Obstreperous Minorities – Not scoring a whole lot of runs. Not allowing many, either. There's a good chance that robusk finds a way to will his team to the division title, but there's also a chance that he just gets drunk and trades away Mike Ponson for a player who represents the hipster hippie values that robusk employs. Basically someone who is stylistically dirty and only enjoys locally grown foods. Or just someone whose name looks like the word 'nipple'.
Cincinnati Riot – Playing obscenely below expectations, based on the run differential. Going 0-8 in one run games seems fluky. 0-3 in extra inning games. AS a whole, that's a lot of shit luck in Cincinnati. My guess is they turn it around, somewhat. If not, they'll just buttfuck in the shower because that's what Nellie's used to seeing men do.
Fargo Eh – Worst team in the league. Sure, they have some injuries, but they're just so wholly mismanaged that I fully expect the team to overdose on heroin when the team thinks they're taking regular steroids.
Dover Johnny Dramas – Tylermathias is playing above average. His team is very good, and should continue to push towards the playoffs. And if you look at the advanced standings, he is playing exactly as you would expect. Want to know the real reason Albie Plata is on the trading block? He turned Tyler Rossy's nicest socks into a male-female sock puppet tandem that beat each other and then fuck until Plata winds up needing one of them to wipe away his laugh-tears.
Philadelphia Phingers – Hanging in with Dover. One of a number of NL East teams with an inordinate number of one run games. But with the best pitching staff in the division, jwelsh should be able to contend throughout the season. Also, Arlie McPherson is only on the ML roster because of a bet.
Scranton Dundies – Should be playing better, will probably turn it around shortly, but should be closer to the other two than he is to dherz. I think alcheez just heard what a great wingman dherz was to bret in Atlantic City.
New York Bowie Mafia – Bench coach Cristobal Franco is a Buddhist. It's why he refuses to sacrifice flies. This team scores less than kbjone.
Mexico City Quetzalcoatl – Fundamentally sound team, typically strong on defense as are most of cbriese's ventures. They've pulled ahead of the rest of the division moreso through publicly pushing vetoes than actually outplaying them. But they are still pretty good in the field.
Memphis Blues – FLUKE. How is this team at .500 despite having the worst expected winning percentage in the league? Has allowed 23 more runs than anyone else in the NL. But what do you expect for the worst defense in the league? You would think that an actual programmer of the sim would realize that Rick Speaker, Orber Navarro, and Jesus Guittierez are not fit to play the positions they're fielding. You would think he would know better.
Texas Disease – Leads the league in vetoed trades. They shouldn't be doing as badly as they are. Vance Burke breeds chinchillas.
St. Louis Kitten Mittons – Nice spelling, retard. They should be playing better, especially considering Bill Mahoney has tried bribing umpires with autographed memorabilia. But tlak is retarded.
San Francisco Surf Dogs – Best record in the NL. Playing at expectations. Playing outstanding. Nothing bad to say about them, except for the fact that the team has dildo parties every Tuesday.
Los Angeles Dystopian Futures – Exceeding expectations. The reason? They get intentionally walked a whole lot. My guess is that opposing pitchers like the music that plays in Los Angeles when a player is walked.
San Diego Chikan Fukars – Tisi is better than this mediocrity, and San Diego shouldn't really have allowed that many runs. I'm sure it'll turn around. Just like when Irv Miller turns around and does more of a scissor thing with Bryce Winn.
Boise Mays – Thankfully this is my last team. I don't even really care at this point. But I'll just say that Kelly Payne jerked off to the opening ten minutes of the movie Up. I guess he likes some combination of animated children, infertility, and widowers. Who knows.

What You'll Get
Jump to: Reviews | History's Hottest Hoopsters
It's been years since The Hudsucker Proxy caused America to fall in love with the extruded flying dingus that came to be known as the Hula-hoop, but humanity keeps finding new uses for the delightful device. Today's Groupon encourages you to spin your way to fitness with a hooping class at HoopGirl for $12, a $20 value. This Groupon is good at the San Francisco Dance Ground Keriac location only. Classes run from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Mondays, 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursdays, and 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturdays. HoopGirl will provide professional weighted hoops for the class.
HoopGirl's hoopdance classes give you a fun way to flex your core using exciting hoop drills, hoop moves, and a general understanding of hoop intuition. In a relaxed setting, you'll work your abs and tone your thighs, arms, and tush—all while spinning away stress, boosting your metabolism, and even boosting your libido (and possibly the libido of those around you, depending on your technique). Count the torso rotations you accumulate on your Huladex as your torso learns to spin hay into gold and then back into hay, so as to keep the hay business financially solvent.
If your cartwheeling cardio regimen results in too much spilled milk and too many holes in the walls, HoopGirl's licensed instructors will put you back at the center of things and jostle your endorphins loose with a little back-and-forth hip rotation, earning you many an envious stare from many a hoopless bystander.
The San Francisco Chronicle, the Vancouver Sun, Spin, and the Mom Show have all featured HoopGirl:
- Hula hooping is back in the spotlight in a big way. – Lisa Hix, San Francisco Chronicle
Nine Yelpers give HoopGirl a unanimous five stars:
- This class is so much fun! I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to try something new. The instructors are great, very supportive and very encouraging (even if you're a hooping misfit like me). – Gucci M.
The Fine Print
Promotional value expires Jan 27, 2011. Amount paid never expires. Limit 1 per person, may buy multiple as gifts. Valid only at San Francisco location. Merchant is solely responsible to purchasers for the care and quality of the advertised goods and services.
About HoopGirl
Lauded by Prevention magazine as "easier to keep aloft than a kid's version," HoopGirl's oversize fitness hoops whittle midsections and evoke a cheerful sense of nostalgia. Founded by academic-turned-athlete Christabel Zamor in 2001, the activity-based exercise has spread to thousands of studios while building the core strength and flexibility of students in North America, Europe, Australia, and Middle-earth. Available either in-studio or on DVD, beginner classes increase body awareness, and intermediate workouts further develop strength and endurance. During advanced sessions, students twirl the loops around their waists, honing precision and poise while gaining total mastery of their Saturneqsue rings.

Caring for Kids and Caring for Our Own Since 1967
MOUNT LAUREL, NJ--(Marketwired - February 14, 2017) - The NFL Alumni Association (NFLA) is pleased that it is celebrating 50 years of serving former players and communities around the country.
Founded in 1967, the NFLA was designed to serve its retired player members and support community charities through the NFL Alumni Foundation and the "Caring for Kids" campaign. It was formed as an outgrowth of philanthropic and civic-minded impulses of retired NFL players who performed at the highest level of the nation's most popular sport. The NFLA now is comprised of former NFL players, coaches, staffers, cheerleaders, spouses, and associate members.
"Being the President and CEO of the NFL Alumni Association the past four years has been an honor and a privilege," says former Giants & Eagles quarterback Joe Pisarcik. "The growth that our organization has seen is incredible. Our Board of Directors, Chapter Presidents, and NFLA staff concentrate on providing former players and their families the best benefits possible. We also serve as 'information central' to help make sure they are aware of the all programs available to retired NFL players. As we celebrate our Golden Anniversary, I'm looking forward to the future and take pride in being the most well-known and well-respected NFL retired player organization."
The primary focus of the NFLA is to serve, assist, and inform players in their post-NFL lives. The Association is constantly introducing and offering programs from a variety of medical, financial, educational, and social plans to help keep members and their families healthy, productive, and connected. Some of the medical services offered are Teladoc, Cancer Treatment Centers of America, Premier Stem Cell Treatments, and LabCorp.
"I am very proud to be Chairman of the Board for the NFL Alumni," says former NFL quarterback and ESPN NFL analyst Ron Jaworski. "There are an estimated 22,000 retired NFL football players, and we at the NFL Alumni strive to provide impactful benefits that will assist them in their transition from the game and in their post-NFL lives off the field."
The NFLA also continues to support organizations and projects which offer special promise of advancing the quality of life in communities where Alumni chapters are located. Each chapter works to expand its outreach in the community through year-round participation by Alumni members in fundraising and personal-service programs to assist other charitable organizations. Alumni members are currently part of 34 local chapters where they can connect with other former players to raise money for children's charities. Together, the NFLA raises more than $1 million a year for local nonprofit causes.
The NFL Alumni Association in 2013 also developed an iconic, additional logo and name -- Pro Football Legends (PFL) -- which is the marketing brand used for its commercial activities. PFL is used by the NFLA to increase strategic business relationships in order to create additional opportunities for its NFL Alumni members.
NFLA's mission of "Caring for Kids and Caring for Our Own" is more than just a statement. It is a strong commitment to making a positive impact on the communities that host our chapters nationwide. Our members have done so for five decades and look forward to many more years of serving our communities and assisting our retired players and their families.
About the NFL Alumni AssociationThe NFL Alumni Association is a nationwide group of former NFL players, coaches, staffers, cheerleaders, spouses, and associate members whose mission is to serve, assist, and inform former players and their families. The Association offers a variety of medical, financial, and social programs to help members lead healthy, productive, and connected lives, as well as community initiatives under its "Caring for Kids" programs.

MIAMI -- Fidel Castro's daughter, in a telephone interview with the Miami Herald, called on all Cubans on and off the island to unite against her father's 35-year-long rule.
"Enough is enough," said Alina Fernandez Revuelta, Mr. Castro's 37-year-old daughter, who escaped from Cuba Dec. 20 posing as a tourist. After arriving in the United States two weeks ago, Ms. Fernandez Revuelta held a news conference but refused personal interviews, saying she wanted to wait until her teen-age daughter, who remained behind, got out of Cuba.
Alina Salgado Fernandez, 16, flew out of Havana New Year's Eve and is now reunited with her mother in Columbus, Ga. They are staying at the home of Elena Diaz-Verson Amos, a wealthy Cuban American who helped finance the defection.

22.214.171.124- If "-of 23" is specified and the reported frame rate is 29.97 soft telecine mode will be enabled (video is converted at 23.976)- Fix a bug where folder based sources didn't signal EOF properly
We don't put locks on our doors because it's convenient. We do it to create inconvenience when someone wants to open them, hoping the bad guys respect that - moving on to an easier target. We use other methods like alarms, cameras, etc. to encourage the selection of other, easier, targets. None of these things is a guarantee against a determined adversary and the right tools. Using these techniques is not costless to us. It's a pain to have to carry a key, remember to carry a key, enter key codes or set the alarm. Of course we do these things because the hassle it creates for us, also affects those who would otherwise prey on our stuff. It generally works because the hassle is disproportionate.
The same thing is true about electronic doors. We use passwords and usernames to lock down accounts on the Interwebs. Making the same exchange in hassle (i.e. remembering passwords & usernames on myriad sites) there, as we do in the physical realm, hoping to realize the same disproportionate trade-off - two factor authentication doesn't change the fundamentals it just ratchets up the inconvenience realized by us and the bad guys.
Adding to this, we have to trust that the companies that host "our" data are investing the appropriate amount of care in building locks and safes. Are they using SSL, hashing our passwords, or building social-engineering resistant recovery mechanisms? These things aren't free, they cost money (a lot of money) and time to buy, build, and implement properly - everywhere.
At its core security is just about creating inconvenience, hopefully uneconomically viable amounts of inconvenience, and that's a hassle. For everyone. If only it was this easy:
220.127.116.11- Add sanity checks on FFMPEG reported frame rate- Don't parse AAC, FLAC, or COOK audio- Revert to FFMPEG 1.13- Drop audio frames scheduled before video stream begins- Use the aspect ratio to calculate unspecified width/height parameters except when the AR = 1- Add support for soft telecined video files (unlike DVDs they will be encoded at reported framerate)

Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump responded to the jobs report released on Friday, calling it a 'bombshell.'
Trump posted on Twitter, "Terrible jobs report just reported. Only 38,000 jobs added. Bombshell!"

Friday's report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows a record number of Americans not in the labor force.
"The BLS reports that last month 94,708,000 Americans were neither employed nor made an effort to find employment — due to discouragement, retirement, education, or otherwise — last month," Breitbart News's Caroline May notes.

For the past couple of months I've been receiving quite a lot of Koreran false lashes, mostly by the same brand, Secret Star Girl, but also one pair by Revecen. I don't wear false lashes, but I've been feeling festive recently so I gave them a go and I also bought 2 pairs of eyelashes by Eyelure and Tanya Burr, so I have something to compare these with. I'd also reviewed a pair of Etude House lashes here.
Well, to be honest, Korean lashes are far from being my favourite and while I'm generally hooked and I'm about to start experimenting with false lashes on special occassions, but not with those Korean ones.
It's not a problem of style as 2 out of 4 pairs are quite cute and wearable and the other 2 are preposterous and I can never wear them unless I want to look like an ageing drag queen.
The thing is that they're generally very plasticky. The strip is wide plastic, which isn't as flexible and bendable and thus not as comfortable as I'd wish them to be. The lashes are also stiff and plastic, not tied in small knots but melted together. The glue attached is useless, it never got tacky enough to stick the lashes in place, they kept migrating and getting unstuck at the edges and ruined my make-up. When I used the glue attached to Tanya Burr or Eyelure lashes, they applied nicely.
My favourites here are Secret Star Girl Cutie Lash no.10 which form a criss-cross pattern of longer, thicker lashes and smaller, shorter lashes along the lashline. They add volume and length without looking too unnatural. I really like the style and would wear them more often if the strip was more bendable and generally thinner and softer to match my eye shape better. I needed to trim them as well as they were far too long.
On the positive note, those sturdy plastic lashes are easy to clean. They don't get deformed during the process of picking glue from the strip or removing traces of mascara from the lashes. I think they're indestructible, while on my European lashes I can see symptoms of wear after a single use.
So, to recap, I must say that I very much prefer my western lashes in almost all aspects, they're softer, more flexible and comfortable, lighter, more natural, blend better with my own lashes, the glue is more efficient and doesn't ruin make-up, they feel weightless on the lids etc. but unfortunately they're not as durable as their Korean counterparts.

The Internet has removed boundaries for trade. Now, even the smallest business can have global ambitions, selling via the web to an ecommerce audience that, at the last count, numbered some 220 million active users[1].
With such a huge potential audience comes complexity. If businesses are to trade internationally, they must put the processes in place to ensure a smooth, seamless customer experience. Each country will have its unique challenges in terms of the most appropriate carrier to use, the best delivery method to reach the customer-base and more. Many small businesses are choosing to work with third-party distribution experts who can identify and implement best-practice delivery and returns processes and who have knowledge of the particular nuances applicable to each territory.
The USA provides a case in point, in particular, a recent change of regulation which may prove beneficial to ambitious SMEs. A number of countries set a minimum threshold for goods below which no import duties or taxes apply and customs procedures are simplified. Previously, the USA set this de minimis value at $200 – making it relatively easy to import any goods below this value.
The good news is that, as from March 2016, this threshold was raised to $800. What does this mean for businesses? Quite simply, the raising of the threshold means lower costs and strengthened opportunities to trade internationally.
This is a particularly welcome change for small and medium-sized businesses who often feel the impact of duty costs and taxes more acutely than bigger enterprises.
Nobody starts a business for the love of administration, so any legislation that reduces this burden is sure to be met with approval. Again, for SMEs, admin can be time consuming and expensive – often completed by seniors within the business whose time is expensive and better focused on strategic decision-making. Less paperwork can also help to decrease compliance costs and can help to speed-up the time taken to get a product to market.
Raising the threshold also impacts the speed and effectiveness of delivery. Accelerated delivery enables a smoother e-commerce experience for customers and a reduction in 'where's my?' queries. The net result for businesses is faster cash-flow – an essential factor for organisations of every size but particularly for SMEs.
It will be interesting to see the effect of this legislative change. In 2015, U.S. Customs and Border Protection processed more than $2.4 trillion in trade, processed approximately 33 million import entries and collected roughly $46 billion in duties, taxes and other fees – the largest amount collected in the last five years.
America is open for business and this latest duty ruling reduces the headache for those operations wanting to benefit from the country's proven spending power. SMEs are well-advised to seek expert third-party help in order to broaden their trading horizons.

The photos came out to be much more than just pictures; they came to life to tell a story as well.
My experience with The Picture Company was remarkable. They were extremely professional and easy to work with. Their two very skilled photographers obviously knew what they were doing and what shots looked great. They were very gentle to the newborn and it was conveniently captured in the comfort of our home.

Newborn Stories really captured Vito's precious moments; something my husband and I will always look back to even after he's all grown up.
It's true what they say that you don't know the love you are capable of until you become a parent. With Vito, I wanted to document every moment of his existence, and I couldn't have made a better choice in getting Newborn Stories for his very first photoshoot. He was in very good hands — Aia and Crystal were gentle and patient. The team carefully studied my ideas and concepts, and they promptly arrived in our home with all the props. The final photos were amazing!

Shadows of The City
There's Something in the Fog
From a foggy night's ability to hide a predator (natural or preternatural) to the rumor that the fog is a sign that the Leannan Sidhe is in town, the fog is a regular feature in the City by the Bay. Any supernatural predator can tag this Aspect once in any scene where fog is noted by the GM as being present. Additionally, this is a perfect Aspect to Invoke for a bonus to notice that same predator approaching unseen as no one who doesn't learn to be cautious in the fog survives long in the City. The ghouls of Clan LaChaise are the best representatives of this Aspect.

Landslides, rockfall, erosion, stream crossings, and scour on linear assets (pipelines, transmission lines, and access roads) are nagging issues for energy producers and suppliers. Traditional repairs typically include replacing or re-grading the failed area soils, which can cause significant site and environmental disturbance and does nothing to increase the stability of the site. GSI®'s approach is different. Our engineers first create a stability model of the site. Using that model, they design repairs using innovative technologies – like launched SuperNails® – to stabilize the site with minimal site disturbance. The examples below outline just a few of GSI®'s repairs of linear assets for energy transmission clients.
If you have a geohazard affecting any part of your energy production or supply, contact us. Our energy services team, led by Corey Mislinski, has extensive experience with geohazard events affecting well pad, lease road, pipeline, compressor station, and other energy infrastructures.

oh wow i've been a lazy blogger as of late. not for any good reason, just because our lives have been slow, quiet and non dramatic.
autumn slash "pre-winter season" seems to have arrived overnight, and has taken the leaves from their branches.
the skies have been crowded with thousands of geese, elbowing each other out of the way and their honks overwhelm ones thoughts and leave one thinking only of the early onset of winter.
we too have migrated, back to our home, abandoning our gypsy ways for a few months as we reacquaint ourselves with our little central alberta town. it feels so good to be home.
we did a backyard photo shoot to celebrate.
do you know how awesome aka IMPOSSIBLE it is to do a photo shoot with an uninterested toddler and a self-timer on your camera? it's pretty fun.
i'm only showing the ones that didn't make the cut. the ones that DID make the cut will be our happy holiday family photo shoot (hey we haven't done the family photo shoot yet, okay?!!) so i will make you wait with bated breath, but for the time being, tide you over with these little hiccups.


text: Now that Playboy has decided to stop publishing nude photos, the magazine has lost a big chunk of its titillating cachet and might just be coming to a close soon. Which means there's no better time than now to snag a piece from Playboy's collaboration with elite lingerie line Fleur du Mal. The sheer stretch mesh bra, with two cute and kinda kinky bunny appliqués, has black satin adjustable straps and a swan hook closure.

But I figure if fry sauce can run a blog for a day so can a new pair of shoes….
Shoes. I just watched "In Her Shoes" the other night. Sweet movie. Definitely chick flick, but hubby tolerated it nicely. 🙂
I'm one of those gals that would have a Shoe Thing if I had shoe feet. But I don't. Let me clarify. I *really* don't have shoe feet. Growing up, my parent's friend once said my feet looked like I ran into a wall. All squished up. They are quite wide and sturdy. They mean business, my feet.
Over the years I have dressed them in Men's Army Shoes (my punk phase), Men's Retro Sneakers ala Simple (still love those – my geek grrl programmer phase) and plain ole flip flops….My Very Lazy Phase…
Then I found Zappos.
Today my new shoes arrived. I don't think hubby dares to say a word. Because Zappos is the land of size 8 1/2 shoes that fit and make me feel like at least $150 bucks…
My shoes…Cork wedges.. CORK!
Okay, return to your regularly scheduled scrapping program 🙂
But do you see the flecks of gold? In the cork??? SWOON!

Hello June!
Guyssss, it is almost half time. Are you ready for your Half-Year Review? We need to check up on our goals – how close are we? How far away are we? Do we need to re-evaluate and re-align?
Anyway, welcome to the month of June.
Here are 6 things to do today, to help your month sail smoothly.
- Give thanks. Write down a list of achievements in the month of May. Count your many blessings and be surprised. If you have a Prayer Wall/Notebook, take a look at the answers that came your way in the month of May – Yes, No or Just Hold on. Give thanks for them all!
- Write down your goals for the month. You know, SMART goals… Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-Bound! So, write the vision, make it plain. You're going to need to run with it.
- Check your Money-Plan. What is June looking like? Have you paid all your bills? How much do you have left? How best can you manage the funds to ensure that you do not deep out of your savings pot or go hungry before the next Pay-Day?
- If you are born in June, stand up stand up! Write down a list of friends, family, acquaintances and/or connections born in the month of June. Set reminders in your Phone Calendar. Happy Birthday greetings do not cost much or do they? Set reminders! Send Messages! If the Money Plan allows, send gifts! Celebrate the June Birthdays.
- Clear out your mailbox. No, I am not even joking. UNSUBSCRIBE from all the unnecessary junk mails. I get a headache when I see my mails jump from 0 to 100 in 6 hours. This is not work o. Subscription Mails from all these stores – 50% off this and that will give you headaches when you did not plan for the expenses.
- Plan a Self-Love day! This one is key. Working (Wo)men, how many of you have gone on leave this year? Raise ya hand. Real leave o, not the "I am available via mail/whatsapp" one. Plan a day off this month – Just you. Spa Day + Movie + Good Sleep? That one sef dey!
Bonus: For this one, you do not have to do it today. You can schedule it for the weekend, but make sure you do it. What is it? Clean out your closet – Spring Cleaning abi? You need to know what you have in that wardrobe + Make Up stash of yours. Just looking over my stuff, I can see that I need to pick up a new scent for this hot-rainy season. I can also see that I will not be buying any new lipsticks this year… I think. By taking inventory, I know what I have and what needs to go.
So, that's that for June Day 1… Stay tuned to www.thealaroro.com, there's more to come this month of June!
Remain blessed.
The Alaroro Shopaholic.

Ananda – bliss and contentment in the Himalayas
Meandering through the swarming, sweaty streets of Old Delhi, it's hard to believe India is the home of such life-affirming practices as yoga, meditation and Ayurveda. As you weave your way between the ramshackle buildings, narrowly avoiding being run over by cows and countless rickshaws, the last thing on your mind is relaxation and a holistic way of life. Yet just an hour north of Delhi by plane, in the foothills of the Himalayas, there's the perfect place to do just that.
Ananda Spa is in the grounds of Maharaja Tehri-Garhwal's picturesque palace, perched high above the spiritual city and 'world capital of yoga' of Rishikesh. In the late 1960s The Beatles came here to seek enlightenment, learn yoga, and meditate – much of The White Album was written at an Ashram in Rishikesh.
The award-winning Ananda opened its doors in 2000 with a mission to restore balance and harmonise energy. And its location, surrounded by forest in the high-altitude pristine air of the Himalayas makes it the perfect place to start. In Sanskrit, the word Ananda means bliss and contentment, and, like most spa resorts, it's certainly easy to feel that way here. What makes Ananda different, however, is that it draws on India's various philosophies and practices to help you chill out, slim down and clean up your body.
The palatial former maharajan residence blends the traditional Indian wellness regimes of Ayurveda, yoga and Vedanta (seeking a higher truth or knowledge through meditation) to holistically treat the mind, body and soul, while the peace and tranquility of Ananda is a real antidote to modern life.
I visited in December to experience Ananda's Stress Management package, which is especially geared towards frazzled individuals. The vicissitudes of corporate life in London rendered this the obvious choice, but there are over thirteen different packages to choose from, including yogic detox, anti-ageing, Himalayan romance and a ladies spa getaway – each one tailored to a guest's personal preferences.
Each package contains a unique combination of treatments and activities, but a full body scrub is the inaugural treatment for all the packages. Luis Molina, Ananda's Spa Manager, explains that the scrub is at once psychologically, as well as physically significant as the initial therapeutic procedure – not only is it the most invigorating remedy after a long journey, but the feeling of sheer spotlessness after having been scoured with essential oil-infused sea salt results additionally in a feeling of mental clarity.
My package included a Wellness Consultation with an Ayurvedic doctor, which involved a diagnosis of my bodily constitution, highlighting how diet and changes in lifestyle could improve my overall quality of life. Ayurveda is a holistic philosophy that matches foods to three different body types, or doshas. I was declared to be 'vata' (my husband by contrast was pronounced 'pitta'). Helpfully, the restaurant offers a menu with optimum suggestions for each of the three body types, in addition to the regular à la carte options. The food, by the way, is absolutely out of this world. Cast aside any preconceptions you might hold about 'spa food' – at Ananda deprivation is not on the agenda. Having said that, for those who are conscious of their weight, the good news is that every item on the menu has a calorie count. As well as recommending the foods you should be eating, the doctor will suggest a routine to help improve your health and wellbeing.
Ayurvedic principles are also a salient feature of the spa; the oils and lotions used in the treatments will be specific to your particular dosha. A particular highlight of my host of treatments, which included massages, private yoga classes and an insanely sublime Indian head massage was Sirodhara, or "third eye" – an Ayurvedic treatment that involves a steady stream of oil being poured on to the centre of your forehead. It is said to calm the mind, improve the memory, help insomnia and ward off senile dementia. Well, if that's what it did, I wanted it.
To begin with, I was given an abhyanga treatment, which involves two therapists in a synchronised massage using herbal oils. Then I was rolled onto my back and the pouring began. First, the smell – sour and acrid: I wasn't convinced my nostrils could cope with this for 45 minutes. The next thing I knew, I was being woken up – I had slept through the entire shebang. Exactly the same thing happened the following day – first the smell, then near-coma, much to the amusement of the therapists.
To enhance the sense of calm there were breathing and relaxation classes, not to mention early-morning yoga in the palace's music pavilion taken by Rishi (otherwise known as Dishy Rishi), the best-looking yoga instructor on any side of the Himalayas.
Picking a package is the most cost-effective way to visit Ananda, but it is also possible to create your own agenda from the full range of ayurvedic treatments on offer, as well as the usual spa fare from over 40 available treatments such as Thai or Swedish massage, reflexology, body wraps and polishes, facials and pedicures. And should you choose aromatherapy make sure you ask for Poji, who gave me the best aromatherapy massage that I have ever had.
There are a number of group activities available to all guests – two consecutive early morning yoga sessions for beginners and intermediates, a bi-weekly trek to a nearby temple, twice-daily lectures on spiritual topics, a weekly cookery class and a delightful dance show by children from a local orphanage. In fact, pretty much my only grumble is that there were simply not enough hours in the day for me to experience everything that I wanted to during my stay.
It could have been the altitude – 3,000 feet above sea-level in the foothills of the Himalayas; it might have been the closeness of Haridwar and Rishikesh – sacred Hindu pilgrimage sites – while the Ganges rushed down in the valley; but I have a niggling feeling that my exaggerated sense of wellbeing was actually due to the glorious fusion of massage, good food and daily yoga. I cannot recommend the Ananda experience highly enough.

Manito Percussion Congas represent the union of artistry, technology and eco-friendly practices. Our congas are designed to produce maximum pure-tonal sustain with minimal overtone ring. Each drum is cut from a solid log and shaped according to the principles of harmonic ratios in order to produce the longest sustaining and clearest open tones, deepest bass, and crispest slaps possible.
Every measurement and shape is considered an important variable in the creation of a truly resonant drum. From the diameter of the playing surface to the thickness of the shell, every dimension is tailored to the individual drum's resonant range. In this way, each drum is tuned first to itself, and then to the other drums in the set to which it belongs. In most cases sets of congas are crafted from the same tree to ensure continuity in the density of the wood and resonant qualities of a set.
The unique design of Manito Percussion Congas maximizes the resonance of the wood with the American Steer Skin heads, resulting in a rich, dynamic tone that is unsurpassed.
The shape and proportions of the solid hardwood shells are uniquely engineered to produce the clearest and most lustrous open tones, effortlessly crisp slaps, and soul-shaking bass. Each roughed shell is kiln dried to 8% moisture content before turning on the lathe. They are then sealed using water based finishes that are classified as Ultra-Low VOC and Environmentally Friendly. While some finishes can choke or distort the tone of a drum, our clear coat bonds chemically with each successive layer, allowing the finish to reverberate as a single layer.
Manito's Congas are crafted using a sustainable process. Manito cuts each drum from logs that he receives from local tree services, which means that no trees are felled for the purpose of making drums. The logs would ordinarily be used for firewood or chipped up for mulch. Manito plants one tree in the Athens, Georgia area for each drum that he creates.
One of the most crucial parts of any drum is the bearing edge. The shape of the bearing edge acts in determining the amount of vibration which is transferred to the solid shell resonator. Our custom bearing edge design is engineered to provide the perfect amount of contact with the solid shell while providing an extremely comfortable playing surface.
The standard wood choice for Manito's Congas is Tulip Poplar, also known as Canoe Wood. This medium density tone wood resonates perfectly for congas and other drums. Its tone is clear and pure, with very little overtone ring. It is often referred to as Rainbow Poplar because of the many colors and patterns that arise from mineral streaks in the wood.
Many other hardwood choices are also available, however, building drums with sustainably harvested wood means that all woods are not always available on demand. Manito has built drums from White Oak, Red Oak, Sycamore, Black Cherry, Silky Walnut, Black Walnut, Hackberry, Persimmon, Ash, Maple and others…
Check out this short documentary with Friday Jumbo speaking about his life and career as a percussionist, and a live performance on Manito Percussion congas!
He has toured the world performing with and recording with the likes of Afrobeat band Fela Kuti's Africa 70, Monomono (Joni Haastrup), and The Nigerian All Stars (OJ Ekemote), Ginger Baker of Cream, Paul & Linda McCartney, South African trumpeter Hugh Masekela, among others. After relocating to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1985 he performed with Babá Ken Okulolo and Kotoja, Babtunde Garaya and the African Rhythm Messengers, and Oriki Theater.
