Frock around the clock
Jim recently celebrated his 50th birthday with a bang in a packed BoyzBoyzBoyz, he had no less than 17 members of his family here for a visit during that time. And he thereby performed – surprise, surprise – once more in a frock. Since performing first time in the 31st of December 1988 street party in Boyztown Jim has accumulated a sheer incredible number of frocks. He still has his very first one and still can wear it, but all in all there are over 220 of them in his private possession.

A fresh new face at the Ambiance
It is always fun to talk to Jim of the Ambiance, in no time we had covered the newest gossip, the newest (probably doomed) projects and unforeseeable developments in and around gay Pattaya. Did you know that this one, who called that one a crook just a little while ago is doing business with that one again? Pattaya is a small world, especially the gay scene, and some stories that happen here are just pathetic. But then Jim really had good news. He has found and hired a new young talented manager for the Ambiance, a Swiss national like Suzy Size who speaks an almost perfect Thai, German, English and some French and some Spanish. Suzy had to meet that compatriot of hers, especially when she heard he was only 28 years old…

The perfect personality
"My boyfriend Lek definitely has the perfect personality. For one, he is just gorgeous. Everybody envies me for him. He is from Buri Ram and grew up on a farm with lots of water buffaloes and lots of brothers and sisters and many nephews and many nieces. I never cease to think how lucky I was to meet him when I did." Too good to be true?

Cody, Wyoming Company Announces Voluntary Recall of Select Varieties of Gourmet Beef Jerky
CEO David Fales issues apology with offer of replacement products
For Immediate Release
Media contact:
Joanne Henry
(612) 843-2142
CODY, Wyo., (February 11, 2014) - Wyoming Authentic Products, LLC, a manufacturer of all natural beef products, announced today that a process deviation at its Cody, Wyoming facility caused it to recall approximately 365 pounds of its beef jerky. The voluntary recall, in cooperation with the United States Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), includes selected lots of beef jerky produced between November 4 and November 25, 2013.
The problem was discovered by Wyoming Authentic Products, which it then brought to the attention of FSIS. No complaints or reports of illness have been received by the company or by the FSIS. Wyoming Authentic Products processes and sells a variety of natural beef products to retailers and to direct consumers through its website. Only a limited number of its beef jerky products are involved in this recall and no other products are affected.
Beef jerky recalled by the company includes a variety of Wyoming Gourmet Beef's 3.5 oz. beef jerky products and includes the establishment number "EST. 44972" inside the USDA Mark of Inspection. A full list of those products is on the second page of this release. The products were sold at retailers in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming with less than 10 pounds also sold in Spokane, Washington. There were also a limited number of online sales through the company's website. The company is contacting its online consumers directly and has begun contacting all of its retail customers regarding the recall.
David Fales, chief executive officer of Wyoming Authentic Products said, "We are truly sorry for the recall and regret any distress it causes to our retail and direct customers. We remain committed to the highest standards in food quality and of course, food safety is our top priority. While there have been no results of any illness caused by our products, we are taking this recall very seriously and issuing replacement products to our retail customers for any product remaining on their shelves. We appreciate the cooperation we are receiving from our customers as we move forward to take care of this issue as quickly as possible."
Fales further explained, "The cause of the recall was a process deviation in the humidity settings on our ovens in combination with a failure to adequately record meat temperature during that time period. Unfortunately, we did not have adequate records to verify that food-safe, wet-bulb temperatures were consistently reached in accordance with the USDA food safety requirements. In addition to the precautionary recall, we have taken a number of corrective actions including process improvements and additional training to ensure that this error can not be repeated."

First Wyoming Gourmet Beef Taste-test!
Wednesday, May 11, 2011
The first annual taste-testing for Wyoming Gourmet Beef was held on May 11, 2011, at the Terrace Restaurant in Cody, Wyoming. Hosted by Food Services of America and Lynn Lampe, the beef was cooked to perfection by Chef Ian! Restaurant owners, guest ranch hosts, school personnel, and tourists were all there to taste Wyoming Gourmet Beef for the first time.
Everyone who was at our taste-testing that day raved about how delicious and tender the beef was and wanted to know how it could be so good. We explained that it is the way our cattle are raised, fed, and cared for that determines the quality and taste of our meat. Our company is dedicated to finding the best Wyoming cattle and caring for them properly so that our consumers will consistently have the best beef available. Remember, "When you eat beef, eat the best . . . Wyoming Gourmet Beef!"

For decades we have been promised new inventions that would "change transportation forever." Sadly, from high-speed rail to electric car, jet-pack to Segway, nothing has been able to overtake the gas-guzzling status quo. Until now…
What started as one cat riding a robotic vacuum cleaner has given way to a full-blown revelation of animal Roomba riders. It only seems logical that the trend will soon rise up the evolutionary ladder until Roombas become the main method of commuting for humans as well.
Sure, there's no way to actually control where the device goes, but when you're riding with this much style, does it really matter?

Charleston Pour House delivered 4 sets of free music on hump day once again. From 6:30ish to 1:00ish the music from Jerry Garcia and The Grateful Dead filled the air. Last night 2 sets of The Reckoning and 2 Sets of Rose Runners took on a high energy, dynamic, and soul driven tribute to the timeless catalog with a rotating cast of pour house vets.

Here is a fan favorite "Playin in the Band" from 1972:
During the next jam Chris Duvall led a synthesized organ setting to his keys and delivered a fabulous segue for Rusty to lead the band into "Terrapin Station". This 30 minute string of songs culminated with a "Terrapin" that took its time to fabricate a tapestry that seemed fitting for a sultry night in the Lowcountry.
|Photo Credit: Ellison White
Two more sets were to follow, this time by Rose Runners made up of Tom Crowley on guitar and vocals, Jeff Kozelski on guitar and vocals, Dennis Ware on drums, Matt Thompson on bass, and Alan Brisendine on keys and saxophone. The group strung together both singalong and the more rare JGB tunes.
|Photo Credit: Susannah Elliott Photography @whysure
With upwards of two and a half hours of music, "My Sisters and My Brothers" was definitely one of the more wholesome highlights teamed with "Waiting on a Miracle" the produced organ work reminiscent of Merl Saunders by Alan Brisendine, Saunders never carried a sax though.

"Dont Let Go" had Tom Crowley singing lead with support from the band on back up vocals to keep the feet on rhythm. Before the band's encore numbers that felt like a third set entirely, they took "Deal" to the proper realm of Jerry Garcia Band and took a break.

The final three songs that served as an encore after a break for Dennis Ware which led up to The Reckoning drummer Wes Powers taking over on the kit. "That's What Love Will Make You Do" kicked the encore set off with solos from both guitars on stage and keys.
Check out Jerry with some pep in his step from 1980:
Following that a nice and fast "The Harder They Come" came in with a favorite among JGB fans "Aint No Bread in the Breadbox" to close out the night. Thanks to the musicians, Pour House, and Susannah Elliott for the awesome photos.

This property languished on the market with 2 different real estate firms before my colleague and I got the listing. It had 2 mortgages, both with New York Community Bank (formerly AmTrust). The mortgage debt was nearly $500,000. In addition, property taxes, homeowners association dues, and a homeowners association assessment were all successfully negotiated.
Client Testimonials

net zero | passive house, western maryland: coming to a close
posted on January 2, 2017 by carri beer
We are thrilled at the success and completion of our first Foam-Free, (near) Net Zero, Passive House in Western Maryland. The home is currently in the final stages of testing, certification and interior finishing. Most of the progress can be followed on their website, it's nicely detailed and as such might offer good inspiration to those DIY types. It has been an educational process with material usage, system selection and install, air sealing and insulation, window install and team collaboration.
The views and placement of the house are extraordinary and achieve the homeowner's goal of a comfortable, accessible, high performance home designed to view the meadow, marsh and forest.
For more photos of the final walk-thru, visit the project page.

net zero | passive house, western maryland: working outside while we still can
posted on July 15, 2015 by carri beer
We now have our LP SmartSide up and looking more like a house, though we are hiding all of our fantastic details. We have some warm and natural exterior colors waiting to be applied.
The garage and shop have also been built and will be a nice bonus space to this Western Maryland cold, snowy climate.
I took the time to learn about porch types – my favorite is the cedar porch. The crew at Gosnell worked patiently with me to build what I had envisioned. It is thrilling to see in person and I'm looking forward to the final product with painted siding and stone porch. The approach to the house is successfully comfortable and happy.
net zero | passive house, western maryland: the views are revealed, window + door install
posted on May 19, 2015 by carri beer
The large bird viewing windows have been covered with plywood for months as we await the delivery and install of our doors and windows. The client chose INTUS uPVC windows for their performance, cost and manufacturer provided sill extensions. The fact that the client could visit a local showroom and see these windows in person was also critical to their decision making.
Our window detail went through many rounds of design and mark-up between myself, Michael Hindle, CPHC and the team at Gosnell Builders. The result is an air + water tight detail with little to no thermal bridging and over-insulating of the frame. We also maintained our FOAM-FREE insulating details!
Making the 2D line drawings translate into construction reality was not a problem with our eager construction crew. Though labor intensive, the resulting air tightness and performance will be outstanding.
Not to mention the amazing views for bird watching!
net zero | passive house, maryland: mento + furring
posted on April 29, 2015 by carri beer
Upon hanging the TJI insulation cavity, the vapor open Weather Resistant Barrier (WRB) was installed and all seams were taped. Given the pressure of the cellulose that will be blown-in behind this WRB, we decided to use Solitex Mento 1000 and taped with our favorite Tescon Vana tape.
The next layer is the ventilation cavity / rainscreen / furring strips. We decided on horizontal with vertical furring strips to keep the cellulose bulge in check and maintain an acceptable ventilation cavity as well as provide a more substantial nailing surface for our engineered wood siding.
net zero | passive house, maryland: hanging the TJI insulation cavity
posted on March 25, 2015 by carri beer
We have built our structural 2×6 wall, installed and taped the plywood air barrier, and have created all of the window boxes. It is now time to attach the 11 7/8″ vertical TJIs to our wall. This TJI cavity will be filled with cellulose and serve as our main insulation layer in our Climate Zone 5 project location. The TJIs are non-bearing and their vertical installation is addressed by Weyerhaeuser TrusJoist TB-821-2014 (comes up on a google search).
Per the advisement of our structural engineer, in the areas where the TJI is not resting on the concrete foundation wall (with a bit of mineral wool sandwiched between), but is instead 'floating' we used a light 40 series joist hanger at the base of each TJI. He also called for blocking top, bottom and mid-height.
net zero | passive house, maryland : window install mock-up
posted on January 27, 2015 by carri beer
Michael Hindle, CPHC, and I headed out to Western Maryland to review the window box and TJI insulating cavity mock-up. It was cold and snowy. Really cold. I think I was the only one that noticed. The Gosnell crew is amazing, and, apparently impervious to freezing temperatures.
I said it was freezing, right? FYI, because of the freezing temperatures we chose to use tape for our water-tight detailing rather than a liquid applied product. Once again, the Tescon Vana tape performed extremely well. That stuff would stick snowflakes together.
As shown in the photos above, every corner of the box is being taped as well as every edge of the window (allowing bottom free draining). Our 11 7/8″ TJI wall is resting on the 4″ block ledge with a spacer of mineral wool sandwiched between the plywood base plate and the block. The window box is a 5/8″ plywood box with a horizontal TJI top and bottom.
Teamwork, Teamwork, Teamwork. It is really a pleasure to watch these guys take pride in their work and listen to and learn new ways of building. Peaceful implementation by the contractor is such a key factor to making these super-tight and efficient envelopes successful. Teamwork is always LESSON ONE.
net zero | passive house, maryland: blown away by the first blower door
posted on January 5, 2015 by carri beer
The seams have been taped, the membranes have been sealed and not a creature was stirring. We seized the moment to conduct our first blower door test and assess our Passive House progress.
We are thrilled to report a .2158 ACH50 at this initial stage. The results brought great pride to the guys at Gosnell Builders who are putting this thing together and shocked Mark Watkins, our Rater with his lowest number ever recorded.
Thanks to our great team for working together and always being willing to learn some new tricks.
net zero | passive house, maryland: its all about the tape
posted on December 9, 2014 by carri beer
Just in time for the holidays, our construction crew (Gosnell Builders) received a fine lesson in taping from Santa's finest little taping elf (Michael Hindle, CPHC, Passive to Positive). Our elves were happy with the performance of both SIGA Wigluv and Tescon Vana tapes, which are being used over our primary plywood sheathing air barrier.
LESSON ONE: Get in the field and see how planned methods work. Get your hands on the materials yourself to see that what you draw actually works. Or doesn't.
LESSON TWO: With membranes and plastic sheets, corners matter. A lot. Don't just drape the membrane into an area with hopes that it will be sealed by the extra material. Cut neat, flat areas in the field of an assembly, and bring them up to – but not over the corner – and tape it off. Then tape a smaller, more manageable patch to fit into the corner. Neatly fold the corners with sufficient, but not excessive overlap (it really is just like wrapping a gift). Above may require a YouTube video of of above mentioned elf.
LESSON THREE: As defined in our Sequence of Operations, we installed our SIGA membrane over the top of the foundation wall and under the sill plate, to be taped to the exterior sheathing later. When the guys were installing this membrane, they used a large strip with lots of over-lap. This made it hard during taping because where one sheet ended and another picked up, the overlaps were so excessive that it was very hard to know if you were getting a continuous taped seam. Also the excess material flapped in the western breezes over the course of a month and was in less than pristine taping condition. If we use this method again, we will stipulate that overlaps be no more than 6″ and only narrow strips of material be left "hanging out" and be taped down temporarily.
net zero | passive house, maryland: advanced framing + trusses
posted on November 5, 2014 by carri beer
And suddenly…it's a house. The trusses arrived and were set at 24″ on center on top of our 24″ on center 2×6 structural wall on top of our 24″ on center MSR 2×10 floor framing on top of our basement wall. Walking through the skeleton to see the clean, aligned bones was really exciting. Our framers did a fabulous job with advanced framing and aligning all the structure. It sounds simple and straightforward, but I've walked in many that seem junked up with unnecessary studs and multiple upon multiple jacks and kings.
The blue line along the top plate is Tescon Vana magic tape sealing the corner edge of our plywood air barrier. Each spliced top plate is taped as well.
Next comes the roof sheathing, finalizing the plywood air barrier and taping all the seams.

Can Electric Cars Power On?
Although fully electric car sales have increased significantly in the last couple of years, they still make up only almost 120,000 of the 16.5 million cars sold in the U.S.
Despite the hype of their "greenness" and value, they still have some major challenges to overcome: price, range and convenience. Currently, the most affordable model on the market is priced around $40,000 with a destination range of 60-80 miles. Many people travel farther than that during their daily commute.
If you make it to work, where would you charge your car? Most customers aren't ready to trade the ease of finding a gas station (they're called convenience stores for a reason) with finding a charging station — and then waiting for half an hour.
That's not to say electric cars won't eventually become more mainstream. They're just not there yet. Meanwhile, other technologies like hybrid and semi-hybrid vehicles (also known as start-stop) are likely to become bigger players.
Cars are becoming more fuel-efficient, and the future is bright for alternatives to the traditional internal-combustion-engine-only vehicle. But when it comes to the electric car, consumers are still waiting for the green light.

Aldi again comes up trumps. Only this time it has won the washing up challenge. For years and years I have always bought Fairy Liquid… I used to proclaim it was false economy to buy the cheaper brands, simply because you had to use far more of the liquid to get a decent foam.
What with rising prices in many supermarkets, even though they were having their price-cutting wars amongst themselves, I would still religiously use Tesco's and occasionally Morrisons for my weekly shop, as I thought they offered better value for money… And not forgetting of course Tesco with their clubcard points scheme, gave me vouchers off of my shopping.
Well, Aldi opened a store in Strood back in November 2012, yes we popped in and bought a couple of bits, but like true traditionalists when it came to our weekly shop we went to Tescos. No questions asked, Tescos was our place to shop. Nothing would remove us from their supermarket or so we thought.
Until earlier this year, after speaking to my mother in law, who purchased something from Aldi that I did like, we decided to give Aldi a go… Of course we were of the firm opinion that the following week, or even sooner, we would be back in Tescos stocking up our cupboards.
Of course the well known brands, like Heinz Baked Beans, are not stocked in Aldi. And only occasionally do you pick up something that has a well-known brand label… so we tried their own products.
As we strolled around Aldi doing our weekly shop… we looked at each other and said, "We'll be in Tesco's next week, as this lot is bound to taste like shite." Firm in our beliefs that the goods would not be up to our standard and the taste wouldn't be the same as well-known brands we were a little apprehensive about what the products would taste like. Over the course of the following week we used the stuff we purchased. Only to find to our surprise, there wasn't a lot of taste difference. If anything, the quality and taste of the products was on par with well known brands.
And then there was the bill; what we would have spent in Tesco's averaging from £90-£120 per week, we found we were paying between £55-£80 in Aldi. Now that is a massive saving. So off we went the following week back to Aldi and we did our week's shopping. Again the price at the checks was considerably lower than what we would have paid at Tesco's or Morrisons.
From those two visits forward we have used Tesco's and Morrisons, if we want something that Aldi doesn't stock or if we have run out of something, we nip to our local Tesco Extra. But our main weekly shop is done in Aldi and we are saving a considerable amount each month on our shopping bills. I am even surprised at how good their Almat biological washing gel is.
Now back to the Fairy Liquid… Aldi don't stock it.. simples. So I have bought Magnum washing up liquid, which I have found to be just as good as Fairy. Maybe it is the price I liked, but now it seems that after research Aldi washing-up liquid does top Fairy Liquid.
Researchers found that the Aldi washing up liquid cost 79p, and washed 14,873 plates per £1 of the product, and washed 2,350 plates per 100ml.
Whereas, Fairy Platinum Original costs £1.70, and washes just 5,069 plates per £1 and 2,250 plates per 100 ml of the product.
And we are now regular Aldi customers, who are enjoying the low prices, and the generous savings. The money we are saving is now being spent on things we enjoy doing… and not on groceries. Would I recommend Aldi… YES. Oh and we have purchased some of their clothes, the jeans are good quality and the two pair of summer shorts I bought my husband were of great quality.

Alcohol Awareness: How To Stay Safe & Enjoy Drinking At Summer Pool Parties — Expert Speaks
An alleged drunken hookup scandal has put 'Bachelor In Paradise' on hold, but that shouldn't stop you from having fun this summer. An expert EXCLUSIVELY tells HollywoodLife.com how fans can drink and party responsibly during this hot season.
The Bachelor In Paradise scandal involving DeMario Jackson, 30, and Corrine Olympios, 24, may have people reconsidering their summer plans, as DeMario has been accused of taking advantage of Corrine after she was reportedly incredibly drunk. While the BiP controversy continues to unfold, fans should take some extra precautions whenever they decide to pop open a cold one while partying this summer. "If you do not already know how heat, fatigue effect your body when you add alcohol, avoid alcohol while in the water in the summer," Doug Caine, an alcohol and addiction expert EXCLUSIVELY tells HollywoodLife.com.
"The same way a diabetic should avoid chocolate cake," Doug of SoberChampion.com tells HollywoodLife.com, "somebody who doesn't know how his or her body processes alcohol in specific conditions, he or she should wait until they have experimented with taking the drug alcohol in those conditions." Basically, take it easy and don't go overboard. The cast of Bachelor In Paradise season 4 was reportedly drinking heavily on the first day of production. Despite drunken hookups reportedly "go on all the time" during this show, this alleged incident went too far.
"I advise that, alcohol is a drug," Doug further tells HollywoodLifers. "If you are going to experiment with the drug, do so with friends in a safe environment. That way, you can make informed safe decisions about alcohol after you have the information you need. Most people don't assemble the information that they need." So, make sure your besties are nearby to watch your back if you booze it up during a pool party, barbecue or late-night dance party. Sounds like a safe way to have a great time during the summer.
Supposedly, Connie is pissed that the producers of Bachelor In Paradise didn't have her back and step in to stop the alleged hookup between her and DeMario from going down. She reportedly doesn't remember a single moment from the alleged night, and was shown footage of the reported incident afterward. A former producer of the Bachelor franchise said that while these kinds of drunken hookups are frequent, the producers do step in when a contestant has had too much to drink. So far, no legal action has been taken but DeMario has lawyered up after the accusations he took advantage of a drunk woman.
HollywoodLifers, are you going to lay off the booze during the summer after this Bachelor In Paradise scandal?

Fresh off my trip up north, I have returned to recharge my batteries a bit before heading down south. The Dynamek One's job is never done. As such, there's work to do before I hit the road...
Since this is the bewitching month and all, I figured it would be appropriate to have this month's Character Battle be between two figures that... well, let's just say that they fit the season. However, thanks to a recent Manhattan trip, my musical tastes have been piqued a little earlier than usual. So it got me to thinking. Given our contestants this month, I want to know who is the Most Entertaining Rocker!
Like I said, my musical interests were piqued. Didn't I tell you they were perfect for the season? We have two of the most "colorful" fighters squaring against each other in a good old fashioned rock off. I enjoy a good live show, with one of my favorite concert memories being the time I got to see Dethklok live. (For the record, Weird Al wasn't anything to sneeze at... that guy is intense during his performances.) I bring this up because these two both have ties to performance. There is something, though, that tips the scales in this particular contest, but I'll get to that in a minute...
In one corner, we have the six string seductress from Guilty Gear, I-No. Easily one of the more mysterious figures within the storyline (and that's really saying something), I-No serves That Man. While doing so begrudgingly, she will carry out her orders with frightful efficiency. As such, she also remarkably powerful. One such skill is the time travel, but she refrains from using because it's difficult. On top of that, she obviously has tremendous destructive power at her command. Every ounce of which is used against her opponents. In terms of personality, she can be callous & abrasive. She's also somewhat inappropriate at times, making sexual references & innuendo whenever she speaks to people. No pun intended, but yeah... she's a character alright.
Then there's Lord Raptor. Sweet sassy molassey, this guy was a piece of work. To his credit, he is an actual musician. A rather successful one, at that. He got his start on the indie scene with an impressive debut album that was critically acclaimed, but commercially avoided. His next album, though, went platinum. After that, success just latched onto him like a stingy case of fleas. Turns out that, while he was a charismatic & talented bloke, the key to his success actually stemmed from hiding excerpts from various curses & incantations within his music. This all culminated in his final live performance (operative word being "live") where he committed suicide, all of his fans in the audience died & he was resurrected into the form we all know and love. W-T-actual-F?!
So who do I feel would be more entertaining? Like I said, something tipped the scales in the favor of one fighter today. You see, that reference to Dethklok wasn't coincidental. While I love their music, the whole "death waiver" business at their concerts is admittedly a bit of a turn-off. While I'm sure his sound was amazing, believe it or not, I am not actually willing to die for good music. I-No, on the other hand, really only ever went about killing one person at a time with her music. Call me crazy, but I like those odds.
Until next time... keep fighting the good fight, my friends.

Just as the warm, moist air of late summer engenders the destructive fury of hurricanes, so too do these storms bear the perennial fruit of economic ignorance. Like clockwork the talking heads either eagerly forecast economic prosperity or decry the mendacity of the evil price "gouger." Or both. The former is the classic example of the broken window fallacy, which like a case of herpes, will never be fully expunged from humanity's collective consciousness.
"Mr. Gorbachev, give us this wall"
Throughout Trump's campaign he repeatedly promised that "we" would build a wall and that Mexico would pay for it. The details of that boast were conveniently omitted. But class is now in session and the homework is due, so at long last we have been made privy to his "secret" method of getting Mexico to pay for this wall: tariffs. Trump plans on imposing a 20% tariff on imported Mexican goods coming into the US. The proceeds are earmarked for paying for said wall. There's just one problem with this little scheme of course: it won't work, or at least not the way Trump imagines.
A Kontradiction
A recent Washington Post article purports to bail Paul Krugman (New York Times columnist and Nobel-winning "economist" aka water boy for Hillary Clinton and the DNC) out of a glaringly breathtaking contradiction. Krugman's 180° flip involves his sudden hawkish attitude toward budget deficits whereas when it looked as though Clinton's coronation was imminent last fall it was "spend baby spend" time. A one Matt O'Brien with the Post now tries to rescue Krugman from his own Kontradiction (def. Kontradiction: the fairly regular phenomenon whereby Paul Krugman supports the exact opposite of something he previously wrote while himself remaining unaware of his own hypocrisy). For a complete takedown of Krugman on this issue listen to ContraKrugman.
In Defense of the Gouger
Not only should "gouging" be "legal," but in fact welcomed. Gouging ensures a supply of a good even when supplies are constrained. For example, gouging of event tickets ensures that you can get a ticket at a moment's notice. Although the price is high would you prefer high price and ticket vs. no ticket? Rising prices due to increased demand is the market-natural rationing system. If prices stay low, then no one cuts back and the good is quickly consumed. High prices incentivize conservation so a given supply last longer and is available to those that desperately have a need of it.
Can Buy Me Love
There is something eerily similar to the behavior of politicians competing for votes and that of divorced parents competing for the love of a child. There are two strategies deployed in this endeavor. Tear your competitor down with insults or build yourself up through gifts. With either approach there is little daylight between Democrats and Republicans. With Trump's recent speech directed at working women we see that the difference between Democrats and Republicans is in degree, not kind. Both are quite willing to violate the rights of the individual upon the altar of compulsory collectivism, because you know, feelings.
Capital Day
Show me a worker laboring without any contributions from capital and I'll show you naked primitives feeding off berries and dead carcasses. Every advance in the standard of living is built on a foundation of both labor and the deferred consumption (capital creation) that permits the creation of tools to augment laboring efforts. Holidays should be deployed to remind the populace of that which normally escapes public notice. This is exactly why we need a "Capital Day". Although capital surrounds us, it is too often ignored, like the air we breathe, and like air, our society would be dead without it.
Stepping Up to the Plate?
Slow internet. No words invoke greater apoplexy in modern man than these. Oconee County, being largely rural, has suffered through its share of less than ideal Internet connectivity over the last decade. So it is little wonder that county officials recently engaged representatives of Corning Optical Communications to discuss the possibility of wiring the entire county for fiber optic Internet access. As a resident myself, nothing would please me more. However, as an ethically consistent human being, I cannot opt to ignore a little thing like theft even when that theft might benefit me personally.
Dear Mr. President
The White House recently posted an "Email from President Obama: An Update on Overtime" on the whitehouse.gov website. For some reason I was not on the distribution list for that e-mail. Had I been, here's what I would have said:
False Equality
The irony of that position is that if the wage gap were employer driven, their supposed vice (greed) would quickly neutralize it. A properly "greedy" employer would seek out every women they can find in order to achieve a 20% discount on their payroll. In turn the unemployment rate for women would be 0%. But of course it is not.

The FIM-92 Stinger is a personal portable infrared homing surface-to-air missile (SAM), which can be adapted to fire from ground vehicles or helicopters (as an AAM), developed in the United States and entered into service in 1981. Used by the militaries of the United States and by 29 other countries, it is manufactured by Raytheon Missile Systems and under license by EADS in Germany, with 70,000 missiles produced. It is classified as a Man-Portable Air-Defense System (MANPADS).
Light to carry and easy to operate, the FIM-92 Stinger is a passive surface-to-air missile, shoulder-fired by a single operator, although officially it requires two. The FIM-92B missile can also be fired from the M-1097 Avenger and M6 Linebacker. The missile is also capable of being deployed from a Humvee Stinger rack, and can be used by paratroopers. A helicopter launched version exists called Air-to-Air Stinger (ATAS).
The missile is 1.52 m (5.0 ft) long and 70 mm (2.8 in) in diameter with 10 cm fins. The missile itself weighs 10.1 kg (22 lb), while the missile with launcher weighs approximately 15.2 kg (34 lb). The Stinger is launched by a small ejection motor that pushes it a safe distance from the operator before engaging the main two-stage solid-fuel sustainer, which accelerates it to a maximum speed of Mach 2.2 (750 m/s). The warhead is a 3 kg penetrating hit-to-kill warhead type with an impact fuze and a self-destruct timer.
To fire the missile, a BCU (Battery Coolant Unit) is inserted into the handguard. This shoots a stream of argon gas into the system, as well as a chemical energy charge that enables the acquisition indicators and missile to get power. The batteries are somewhat sensitive to abuse, with a limited amount of gas. Over time, and without proper maintenance, they can become unserviceable. The IFF system receives power from a rechargeable battery. Guidance to the target is initially through proportional navigation, then switches to another mode that directs the missile towards the target airframe instead of its exhaust plume.
The launcher tube can be reused and reloaded with more missiles.
There are three main variants in use: the Stinger basic, STINGER-Passive Optical Seeker Technique (POST), and STINGER-Reprogrammable Microprocessor (RMP).
The Stinger-RMP is so-called because of its ability to load a new set of software via ROM chip inserted in the grip at the depot. If this download to the missile fails during power-up, basic functionality runs off the on-board ROM. The four-processor RMP has 4 KB of RAM for each processor. Since the downloaded code runs from RAM, there is little space to spare, particularly for processors dedicated to seeker input processing and target analysis. The RMP has a dual-detector seeker: IR and UV. This allows it to distinguish targets from countermeasures much better than the Redeye, which was IR-only. While modern flares can have an IR signature that is closely matched to the launching aircraft's engine exhaust, there is a readily distinguishable difference in UV signature between flares and jet engines.

"Fantasmagory: a dream-like state where real life and imagination are blurred together" – a perfect start to a book that does exactly that – blur the line between reality and imagination and it's exactly what kids need! Everyone calls Dory "Rascal" – she's the youngest in her family and her older sister and brother are constantly tell her to leave them alone or yelling to mom that Rascal is bothering them.
Rascal asks a lot of questions and has a great imagination, something that is becoming harder to find in today's kids who have their noses buried in tablets, cell phones and other forms of technology. Rascal has an imaginary friend as well as monsters living all over the house (if you know where to look). Unfortunately, her family isn't willing to listen when Rascal starts talking about monsters. Her brother and sister make up a witch who takes the baby of the family, if they don't learn how to grow up and Rascal's imagination runs away with the idea, until she finally know exactly how to save herself from the scary witch – by asking the help of her fairy godmother Mr. Nuggy, of course.
What I found interesting, was that although Rascal/Dory prefers to live in Fantasmagory, rather than the real world, she knows and understands that she's just playing pretend and when it matters most, she knows what she must do. This is a great early chapter book for young elementary-age students looking to jump into the world of "big-kid" books or as a read aloud for younger children!

I usually end up wielding the paper cutter when I volunteer in kindergarten, but last week, my task was different. The teacher needed a set of paper cups punctured, a string tugged through it, and a paper clip attached to one end to keep the string in place.
I understand that they're going to decorate the cups and the strings will make some kind of noise. It's going to be interesting to see what comes home!
It would be a perfect task for minions. I saw these adorable minion slippers, sadly in a size too small for me.
Updated March 24: Here's what he brought home. It's a lion (March comes in like a Lamb, goes out like a Lion,) and when you pull the string through the hole, it makes a "roaring" sound.

Three people were arrested Friday in connection with a massive fire under a bridge on Interstate 85 in Atlanta that caused part of the bridge to collapse.
Deputy Insurance Commissioner Jay Florence said Basil Eleby, Sophia Bruner, and Barry Thomas were the three suspects arrested, the Daily Mail reported.
Eleby, whom Florence believes started the fire, faces a charge of criminal damage to property. Bruner and Thomas each face charges of criminal trespass.
"We believe they were together when the fire was set and Eleby is the one who set the fire," Florence told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Florence did not release details of how or why the fire was started, saying that those details would be released as the investigation continues.
He said the suspects may have used "available materials" at the site and added that all three suspects may have been homeless.
Crews worked to restore the bridge Thursday after the blaze caused it to collapse during rush hour. Nobody was injured despite the large clouds of smoke and flames that filled the air.
Officials say reconstruction of the damaged section of the bridge could take several months, causing the 225,000 commuters who use that section of the highway daily a traffic nightmare.

with pokemon nobody will care about this game :/
Whats that heck about ? that game isnt dignified being next to pokemon
The fact that it´s not really a great game wont help either.
And..there´s already a (J) and (E) version of this.
What be it?
Obligatory "Not Pokemon" post.
Alright, here's some real info: This is a port of the game gear game Devilish, which is a variation of the well known Arkanoid/Breakout theme (ball + paddle). You have two paddles, one atop the other that you move at the same time. The topmost paddle can be moved vertically however. There are also enemies and not just blocks to break. The concept sounds like a lot of fun, but it's crap.
Yeah, it's kinda like Breakout. I played the other one, it was kind of lame. How can you add a story to this kind of thing?
That last comment made me sad :'(
I like breakout!
the story is satan army has killed your mother, you the princess must use the power of the Dragon balls to fight satan!
I completely believed you until you said "dragon balls"...
Seconded. Block Kuzushi is the best Arkanoid I ever played
Brick'em all DS (the Euro version of Block Kuzushi/Break 'em All) is the best one, just FYI. The translation is more excitable and engrishy than the US version, which in that game makes all the difference.
Damn its the same as the other DS release. Was hoping the "classic" bit would mean the original which was good.

You heard the story: Two dozen Rip Van Winkles wake up one day and decide that it would be a good idea to band together to defeat the evil monster in the forest. They lounge about, wring their hands, have a beer, perhaps two dozen kegs of beer, and then, in a moment of sheer brilliance, name their holy alliance Wholesale Applications Community (WAC).
The first word of their first collective action, wholesale, ought to tell us all we need to know about the likelihood of their success. Like shoveling commodities to the hapless consumer, "without distinction" as the dictionary would put it. Because for the Rip Van Winkle alliance, software is just like sacks of commodities. You load them up on a truck, send them to a depot someplace and you're done. They call it, "Load'em up once, ship'em everywhere." After all, rice is rice "without distinction" whether you're in India, China or Japan, right?
It gets whackier at WAC's manifesto site: wholesaleappcommunity.com, and yes, that's the URL.
If you believed the fantastic and utterly bogus numbers generated by VCs and the peddlers of the first generation of mobile phones about how many billions of WAP phones would eclipse traditional wired access to the Internet just any day now, then you'd be very comfortable with WAC's claim:
Will establish a simple route to market for developers and provide them with access to a customer base of over 3 billion customers.
Some access. Just how many of these 3 billion phones are in fact capable of running, say, smartphone-class applications is of course a minor detail, as we're dealing with wholesale commodities after all. Here's a thought: either these carriers "own" these 3 billion customers in which case developers for whom WAC was supposedly created get shafted or developers own those customers, which we know won't be the case as there's no incentive for the carriers.
Then comes the biggest bludgeon only a giant Rip Van Winkle can murderously handle:
The alliance aims to unite a fragmented marketplace by involving players from all related industries to create a community based on openness and transparency to the benefit of all.
Yes, you read it right, "openness and transparency to the benefit of all" by phone carriers. It is a terrific idea to bring into this pitch phone carriers' biggest asset: openness and transparency! But that's not enough. To rally openness advocates something else has to be bolted on:
We believe our model presents the most compelling format on the market where developers will thrive and customers will reap the benefits of greater choice.
Of course, choice. By the traditional champions of choice, phone carriers no less! Because, truth be told we just don't already have enough choice in phones or mobile OSes.
WAC's ambitions know no bounds:
…access to the latest and widest range of innovative applications and services to as many customers as possible worldwide.
This alliance will deliver scale unparalleled by any application distribution ecosystem in existence today.
It's wholesale in case you forgot. This could go on. Forever. So let's cut to the chase:
In practice this means that developers will only have to create one version of their application and this can be used on multiple types of devices and operating systems (such as Symbian, Android, Windows etc) which is not the case today.
Here's a challenge to WAC: if you believe in this fantasy, or more likely if you want developers and users to fall for it, why don't you design a mobile operating system that works on all devices not named iPhone or iPad and be done with it. Kill them all and replace them with your grand unifying OS. Until then, you can wade through search results for why "Load'em up once, ship'em everywhere" never works…on your 1.5-inch phone screens.

Sinusitis is caused by blockage and congestion in the sinus cavities. The best way to prevent sinusitis is by drinking plenty of fluids and taking decongestants when you have a cold or seasonal allergies to keep your nasal passages draining properly.
If your sinuses do become blocked and you suspect you may have developed a case of sinusitis, you are not alone. Millions of Americans are afflicted by this common condition every year, and it can be treated very effectively once it has been diagnosed. The professional medical team at FastMed Urgent Care in Winston-Salem, North Carolina are available every day of the week to provide you with the care and treatment that you need.

Now I know some eyes are going to roll when they see a bold, gutsy title like this. As if there is ONE big secret to creating effective marketing and advertising campaigns.
Yet I believe there is. And I can prove it. By the way, it's not what you're probably thinking.
Let me tell a very quick story to illustrate my point…
When I sold financial products and services, which is not the easiest thing to sell in the world, I was obsessed about learning everything I could about selling. Specifically about selling my products. How to properly present, ask questions, overcome objections and close. And all that is very important.
However I noticed something very interesting. We would have a new person come into the business who didn't know any of this. He was just excited and right out of the gate would write a lot of business.
There were several reasons for that early success, but one of the biggest was the fact that he met with the right people.
You see, in that business our target market was someone who is:
1. Married
2. Had kids
3. Owned a home
4. Had a full-time job making $50k+ a year (this was awhile ago, it's probably double that now)
5. Age 25 to 45
We would call these people 5 pointers.
And if I would go meet with someone who didn't have kids, didn't own a home and wasn't married for example, there was very little I could offer them from my services.
There was nothing I could say in spite of knowing 55 different closes, that would make them want to buy life insurance. Because they were the "wrong" market for me.
And yet when I sat down with the "right" market, it was usually a very easy sale. Which is why the new guy could have a great sales month with very little experience. He met with the "right" people.
And this is one of the biggest secrets to successful marketing and advertising.
Knowing and understanding who your target audience is.
Market Research 101
Creating compelling ads has little to do with the saying "the right words", but more with who you're talking to, and addressing their needs.
And it all starts with doing market research. And in this case I'm talking specifically about researching your customer – your ideal target audience.
In the world of marketing we call this creating your customer avatar.
- Who is it exactly you are marketing to?
- What age are they?
- What do they do for a living?
- What are their core needs, wants and desires?
- What fears, pains and frustrations do they have?
- What problems are they looking to solve?
When you can answer these few questions, you hold the key to the most important part of marketing…
Meeting your prospects where they are and being able to enter the conversation they already have in their head.
A famous copywriter and stellar marketer Robert Collier once said…
"Always enter the conversation already taking place in the customer's mind."
You see, there's only one thing that your prospect is wondering when they're looking at your ad, a sales letter, a video, a blog post, etc… they're thinking – "What's in it for me?"
Most sales people, just like most ads completely miss this. The worst sales people and the worst ads only talk about their product, and never talk about what's important to their prospect.
This is NOT the conversation going on in your prospect's mind.
And you can never win somebody over and sell them anything unless you find out what's important to them.
Dale Carnegie wrote about this 80 years ago – "The only way on earth to influence other people is talk about what they want and show them how to get it."
Zig Ziglar for years preached – "You can have anything in life you want if you help enough other people get what they want."
And there is only one way you can, by knowing and deeply understanding your prospect. Once you do, you've cracked the code to creating marketing and advertising that will get the job done and make you a bunch of money in the process.
If you found this post on The #1 Secret To Successful Marketing And Advertising valuable… please feel free to like, share, retweet and comment.

Dubai, a country that attracts more and more!
If you are planning to visit the Arabian Gulf, the United Arab Emirates, and especially Dubai, will charm you. I will give you all my little tips to make the most of a pleasant stay in this country. Starting with the plane, the hotels, then the places to visit?
Dubai is a city that I had the chance to discover in September / October 2014 and I fell in love. Lovers of this transformation, part of nothing, namely that it was a desert just a few years ago. The city boasts records such as the world's biggest tower (Burj Khalifa), biggest fountains, or the largest marina. The country is constantly under construction, it is necessary to know that 10% of the cranes in activity in the world are in Dubai, in order to build a gigantic city for the project " Dubai 2020 "
A diverse population, you will meet people from the four corners of the globe (85% to 90% of expatriates in Dubai), there is an open mind and a mentality different from what we know in Europe. A place where you will feel safe and more under the sun.Dubai is a place where the home service is very developed; you can get everything delivered, Pharmacy items, your McDonald's, shopping, etc.
Shops, small shops and fast food shops are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Tips for the plane
I strongly advise a direct flight from France with the Emirates airline, you will arrive at Terminal 3, which is the Terminal dedicated to the local company Emirates.
From France, Emirates serves 3 airports, which connect Dubai in direct flight. The airports are:
- Paris
- Lyon
- Nice
To find the best rates with this company, I recommend you look directly at their website: www.Emirates.fr. In general, a round trip ticket is around 420-480 € if you reserve two or even three months in advance. From time to time, the Emirates airline makes great promotions and you can get a rate of 349 – 369 Euros for a round trip ticket! Rather Interesting when you know the quality of service and benefits of this company! I am personally FAN. For those with the means to travel in Business Class or even First Class , I can only recommend you to try the Emirates experience on this kind of travel class. You will be under the spell and will be amazed by the level of service. I was lucky enough to be able to travel inBusiness Class , the flight crew is simply fabulous and do everything to make you feel at home but on the plane.
Otherwise, flights with short stops via Istanbul, London or Kiev are also perfect for this type of journey with stopover. Fares vary between 300 and 450 Euros for this type of ticket. To find them, you can read my previous article which is entitled " Holidays – How to Book Your Own Cheap Holidays ".
