Sometimes, when I am far away from home, feeling a little bit ill (I am currently on my deathbed with flu) and having fallen over priceless monuments, fallen down numerous squat toilets, been sick in public and generally humiliated myself for the hundredth time in a week, all I want for a bit of comfort is a ham sandwich. So, imagine my delight when we stumbled across a café in Beijing with ham sandwiches on its menu! I don't think I have ever been so excited over something so small; a taste of home in the mad situations I put my tiny family in. So, imagine my crestfallen little face when said sandwich arrived at the table, and it was actually SPAM, food of the Devil (he loved the1970's) on a hard, stale and ever so slightly green around the edges baguette.
The sight of this hideous pile of thickly cut, mechanically recovered mystery meat, the mouldy bread and the creeping realisation that the months of world travel was rapidly coming to an end set me off, and I can now add sobbing uncontrollably into my lunch to my list of public humiliations.
The situation was lightened somewhat by my son, telling a tourist on the next table that his mummy was upset 'because there is sperm in her sandwich'.
I actually wouldn't have been surprised to see sperm of some sort on a Chinese menu though. The most bizarre thing about China, to a Westerner at least, is some of the food. If they can shove a stick up it's backside, they will eat it. The night markets are the best gawping places. Scorpions and humongous beetles still wriggling on sticks waiting to be cooked, sea horses and starfish, baby octopuses. We steered clear of the heartbreaking parts of the markets, staked high with cages full of cats and dogs ready to be skinned alive as that is a practice I cannot reconcile with.
Needless to say, I didn't try any of the more 'exotic' offerings of Spongebob Squarepants and his chums on skewers. I know I am a hypocrite. What's the difference between stuffing down a cheeseburger from McDonalds to stuffing down a rat on a stick? Meat is meat; its still a defenceless cow I'm chowing down on, so what's so different about any other animal? Somehow, cows, pigs and chickens are fair game, but I couldn't bring myself to eat anything else. I even get teary eyed when I see duck on a menu.
My son, as ever, is being treated like a cross between Justin Bieber and the Messiah. He is blonde haired and blue eyed, which is a hit with the ladies in China – I will remind him of it if he's single when he's 21, he can come back out here and be the most popular guy in town. Everyone has been lovely to him, and they are all so interested in talking to him, people find it very cute that he's outgoing and will talk back and start conversations.
Traveling alone in China with my son has taught me many things, but the most important is that the majority of people are nice. They want to talk, help and are generally good eggs. It certainly hasn't been easy – I have travelled the world and have never come up against a language barrier like Mandarin, but what an experience it has been.

Step 1. The customer lodges a dispute with their bank, in which they essentially claim that either money was taken from them without their consent, or the services/goods you rendered were not as promised. You should immediately contact the customer if you can, and work with them towards a resolution. The best way to ensure you don't have your money taken is if they contact their bank and withdraw the dispute.
Step 2. The bank decides whether or not the claim seems serious. More often then not they support their customer, we recommend you assume that this will happen, and plan accordingly. If the claim is taken seriously, then the *total* amount of money that left the customers bank account will be taken from your account and given to them.
Step Three. The bank decides the winner and loser of the dispute. This can take up to 60 days. If you lose, nothing further happens. If you win, then the funds previously held by the bank are returned to your account.

Allure Magazine ticked off some readers with their August spread "You (Yes, You) Can Have An Afro," showcasing a white actress with a '70s-style afro hairstyle, with no mention of its origins.
The article prompted an outcry on social media, with some calling the piece "cultural appropriation," and claiming the mag lacks editorial staff diversity.
That one time Allure tried the 'Rachel Dolezal' #CulturalAppropriation http://t.co/7DgQiDzAI5

@Allure_magazine How are you going to have an article on Afro's and not mention the origins of the style? #afro
— C Slattery (@Legs_for_days) August 2, 2015
Nooo. White ladies, do not let Rachel Dolezal be your style icon. It's racist & appropriative. http://t.co/nzUw1hyycg pic.twitter.com/Utf4PEb24W
— Britni (@britnidlc) August 2, 2015
The afro has held political significance for the African-American community since the 1970s when it was part of the "Black is Beautiful" movement protesting white beauty standards usually featuring straight hair.
Allure acknowledged as much after the fact while defending the spread, telling FOX411: "The Afro has a rich cultural and aesthetic history. In this story, we show women using different hairstyles as an individual expressions of style. Using beauty and hair as a form of self-expression is a mirror of what's happening in our country today. The creativity is limitless—and pretty wonderful."
But not everyone is buying it. Allison McGevna, managing editor at HelloBeautiful.com, said the issue for Allure isn't just about hair. It's the lack of diversity in their pages. McGevna also points out the style not even an Afro, but a twist-out.
"I don't think that Allure necessarily meant to cause any harm or be insulting. I believe in the editor's mind, it was actually a celebration, but that naïveté is really a major problem associated with cultural appropriation," McGevna said. "Black female features are not simply a beauty trend. While celebrating an Afro hairstyle, which is absolutely something to celebrate, they should have used an actual Black woman, instead of painting freckles on a white woman's skin and curling her hair so that she looks more ethnic."
Hairstylist Nakia Crouse also took issue with the article.
"You can show a 'how -to tutorial about an afro' however give credit where credit is due," Crouse said.
Africana Studies professor at Cornell University Noliwe Rooks said that while no particular race owns any hairstyle, Allure messed up.
"I don't believe that anyone actually owns a hairstyle and whites have long tried to appear edgy and cool by adopting aesthetic elements from other cultures such as plump lips, butt implants, tan skin and even hair styles such as cornrows," Rooks said. "Black people are often sent home from school or jobs for wearing braids or afros because whites don't think such styles are professional, yet white women are told such styles are fashionable. It's infuriating and the upset is about more than who owns a particular hairstyle."
Ohio State Professor of Women's, Gender, & Sexuality Studies Treva Lindsey said the editors need to recognize their mistake.
"The editorial staff, in the least, should thoughtfully respond to the understandable criticism and backlash," Lindsey said. "Divorcing the style from the political context in which the afro arises and the clear association the style has with African American cultural expression is deeply problematic."
But not everyone agrees.
"This world needs to live and let live!" said hairstylist and salon owner Martino Cartier. "If someone wants an Afro let them have it. I've spent 20 years behind the chair. I have seen it all and there have been Afros is all shapes sizes and yes even colors."

As If I Really Forgot...
20.19.31 - Mark
I've got the democratic presidential debate on the TV right now. As anxious as I am to get Bush out of office, watching this political jockeying feels like watching a slow motion train wreak. I mean we've already had people announce and drop out, and as pointed out above we're seeing presidential debates 18 months before the election - and like all politicians they're doing a splendid job of not saying anything. The only thing I'm learning from this is that right now I really don't want to vote for any of the candidates, even if I do like and agree with what they have to say.
By the time the actual election comes around we're going to be tired of this batch of f**king jokers that no one will want them sticking around for 4 to 8 years. It's a shame that there's no way to stop this whole BS engine and put it on pause for 6 months or so.

Britney Spears | Oscars | Police
Spears for Fears: Britney as Anna Nicole
Lindsay Lohan's friends and family can breathe a sigh of relief this morning. At least their celebrity fixture is well placed in rehab and on her way to recovery.
Britney Spears, however, is a different story. She appears to be having a public nervous breakdown coupled with some kind of substance addiction.
Is Spears another Anna Nicole Smith in the making? It sure looks that way.
Britney Spears Sports Wig After 'Shear' Madness
These days, Spears is famous mostly for being famous — like Smith. Her recording career is quite a bit behind her, though she claims to have a new album in the works. Spears has become addicted to her own celebrity. Her value is now all about selling newspapers and magazines.
Even motherhood doesn't seem interesting to Spears. How could it? The drama of being followed, of enticing paparazzi and tabloids to comment on her latest move, is far more interesting than reading to a child, changing a diaper or playing with a baby.
What's next for Britney? She's had two marriages and two pregnancies, so that's been done. Expect next a reunion of some kind with Justin Timberlake, who'll be humming "What Goes Around Comes Around" as he plays white knight, dances Spears off to rehab and launches yet another round of tabloid headlines.
Meanwhile, it's a little unclear — given the head shaving, tattoo burning, etc. — whether or not there will be a Britney Spears Summer Camp for Performing Arts this season.
In 2004, according to federal tax records, Spears parked $1.3 million in a tax-free foundation and spent around $265,000 on the camp. The camp's application asked potential admittees to rate their "personal habits" and "social maturity."
Oscar Week Begins: All Hail Helen and Forest
At last, we are at the start of Oscar week. It's a good thing, too. "Dreamgirls" needs about a day and a half to reach $100 million. The snubbed musical came "this close" over the weekend to the magic number, but fell short about $750,000.
But Oscar week 2007, if there is any justice (and usually there isn't) in Hollywood, should belong to Martin Scorsese. After near misses with "The Aviator" and "Gangs of New York," America's finest director looks certain to pick up Best Director this Sunday night and maybe even Best Picture. I can only say maybe. Scorsese fans have been disappointed too many times.
What is certain about Sunday night? This much: Helen Mirren, Forest Whitaker, Eddie Murphy, Jennifer Hudson.
Queen Helen is so certain that Dame Judi Dench, whose performance in "Notes on a Scandal" is incendiary, is skipping the show to have knee surgery. She's not being a sore loser, but simply practical in a Dame Judi way. She's got to get back on the London stage. And she already has an Oscar (1999, "Shakespeare in Love").
What's uncertain: Is Peter O'Toole going to come back to Hollywood just to watch Whitaker win? O'Toole had a grand time at the nominees' luncheon and then went home to England. Making the long trip back does seem pointless if he doesn't think he'll win, but O'Toole's presence should enliven things.
And what about the spoilers? "Little Miss Sunshine," a dark-horse film that was birthed at Sundance, could upset everything with a Best Picture win. Based on its Screen Actors Guild award for Best Cast — as well as producers and writers' guild nods — "Sunshine" could throw a dark shadow across Scorsese's "The Departed." Stranger things have happened.
Meanwhile, the real drama of the weekend may wind up with the Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday. After a few seasons of paralleling the Oscar nominations, this year the Spirits have chosen more of an independent path.
Best Feature should be a dog fight between "Little Miss Sunshine" and "Half Nelson." Best Male Lead, I hope, will go to Ryan Gosling for "Half Nelson."
As for Best Female Lead? The real fun would be if Catherine O'Hara gets it for "For Your Consideration." Talk about making a catty statement to the Academy Awards!
Police Report: Sold Out in Canada
Tickets for the Police's reunion shows in New York, Boston and Los Angeles don't go on sale until tomorrow. But dates in Canada — Toronto and Vancouver — are already sold out. Try going on Ticketmaster; they are all gone.
In Toronto, a third night was put on sale and the tickets for that show went as fast as, you know, hot cakes.
The quick sell-outs are pretty ironic, considering the group claimed not to know how it would do if they really went through with the reunion tour.
Now it would seem like the Aug. 1 and Aug. 3 dates at Madison Square Garden will sell out immediately tomorrow morning.
Luckily the group held open the middle night, and the one after, so two more shows could be added if needed.
It looks as though they will.

German website, Area Mobile, is reporting that Samsung is preparing to launch the SGH-F110.
Following in the footsteps of the Nokia 5500 and the Sony Ericsson W580i, the phone is apparently aimed at sports lovers.
Rather than just having sporty apps though, the sleek looking F110 takes the concept one step further with a team-up with Adidas.
Apparently, the SGH-F110 will boast a range of features of interest to the more active out there including a pedometer, heart beat monitor, will measure distance traveled and calories burned.
Although the translation is a little muddy, it appears that this Adidas offering will also select music playlists based on your heart rate, so some pumping toons when you're really going for it.
It looks like the SGH-F110 will have a voice coach feature you can listen to whilst working out, which it appears could be voiced by Adidas-signed sports stars (Beckham supervising your bench presses, anyone?).
Also featuring a radio, a microSD card slot, 2-inch LCD screen, 2-megapixel camera, it will work on the GSM quadband network with EDGE data connection.
All rumours at this stage so no info on pricing, dates or availability.

with them forever.

Limited Thinking
When I was growing up and learning from others, many of my mentors worked out early in the morning. I would listen to them say "I can only work out in the morning", "If I don't work out in the morning, I don't work out at all". Well, that's now become my belief and a very limiting one at that. As I'm writing this, it's still my belief and I'm fighting myself on writing this because now I will have to change it and I really don't want to, yet feel I have to. Honesty at its best. I allow it to limit my workout hours for no real, logical reason at all.
Through the years I either went to the gym upon awakening or got up before work and exercised to DVD's. Reason being: it is how I learned and what my mind believes to be the right thing to do for me. But is it? Does it have to be? I want to say yes right now; as a matter of fact I want to scream out YES but I know it's not a good belief. It sticks when you realize something such as this because as it has been said – Once you learn something or are made aware of something you can't unlearn it. Darn it.
It seems when I don't work out upon awakening I lose my time frame and I can't work out for the rest of the day. What kind of cockamamie thought process is that? When I first met my husband I was working out at home in the morning and other days going to the gym straight after work. I got through and past that mindset I thought. Now I realize it works when it's convenient for me. Then I only worked until 4:30 so I didn't mind going to the gym and achieved great results. My body was in shape. I worked out hard. No excuses. Now, I'm back to – if I don't go to the gym or work out really early, I lost my window of opportunity. There may still be 15 hours left in my day but I lost my window of opportunity? Wow! I am just realizing this, REALLY realizing it. All these years my thought process has been upon awakening is when my body is at its best and my ideal time to work out. Well, today I'm here to say NONSENSE! Yes, working out in the morning keeps ME consistent because once I do it, it's over with and I know it's done for the day and I don't have to worry about it. I don't know what other purpose it serves except when I don't do it as soon as I get up I lost an opportunity to work out. Where, may I ask, is the sense in this thinking?
Our thoughts play a major role in our experiences
Do you see where limited thinking plays a major role in this experience? Now I'm asking – Where else does this come into my life? Where do my limited thoughts stop me from doing things I need to do in my life or goals I want to accomplish?
Wow. Limiting Beliefs are less than desirable in my life and I'm sure, in yours too. Let's make an effort to start paying attention to what else is a learned behavior over the years. Is there something we learned that may have been incorrect or the person believed it was the right thing or it was for them and not for you? I'm sure if we dig deep enough we can find quite a few things.
Our parents and older siblings, as well as any elders, did and do the best they can to teach us what they've learned and believe to be true but it doesn't mean it is for us or applies to us throughout our lives. Start paying attention and see if there is anything you can change that may be a limiting belief. Also remember something may work for you and not for someone else, so be aware of what you say to others.
We all have limiting beliefs
I believe we all have limiting beliefs but once we figure out what they are and realize how they do not apply in our lives, maybe, just maybe we can begin to change them.
Do you have limited thoughts you recognize and would like to share? I'd love to hear from you. Comment here or [Link Removed]

After reading Larval's post about the hegemonic fallacy , thinking about object oriented philosophyand Bruno Latour I came up with the thought that the researcher requires a hybrid model for analysis. A model that avoids prescribing a determined mode of analysis and is capable of accounting for all, or at least the majority, of the dimensions of the object.
Overall, the hybrid model of analysis does not outline a metaphysical ontology, but it does hope to achieve pragmatic analysis that can cope with ontology (or at least the ontic entities that compose the world).
Here are my first brief thoughts about "Hybrid Model Analysis"
The main objective of hybrid model analysis is to construct an object-oriented approach for researchers that avoids what Larval has termed the "Hegemonic Fallacy." Instead of the researcher relying on one style of analysis, the hybrid model forces the researcher to explain the object of analysis in its diversity. For example, when the researcher is examining the object of cars in the world, the hybrid model would not allow the researcher to select one particular dimension of cars to explain their existence. The problem of selecting one dimension is that it would only reveal and prioritise one aspect of cars and neglect other factors. Imagine if I analysed the discursive construction of cars in various discourses. While the analysis of these discourses would prove invaluable, its language bias would fail to capture the hybrid nature of the object in question. The result of examine the discursive construction would be to remained traped within the hegemonic fallacy. The hybrid model would not neglect the importance of discourses disseminating meaning about cars, but it would claim there are other dimensions (political economy, environmental factors, technological capability, and so on) that construct the object. The challenge for the researcher is to conceptualise how all these dimensions interconnect and influence one another in the object of analysis.
How then is hybrid analysis connected, or related, to an object-oriented approach? In general, I claim that hybrid analysis is object-oriented due to the fact that it forces the researcher to approach (and hopefully explain) the real (and diverse) dimensions of the object of analysis. Hybrid analysis is a form of empiricism that does not assume` pre-given entities (subject, language, mind…) and has to begin anew for every researched object. What the researcher ought to discover is that there is some transference from the object that 'communicate' what dimensions compose the object.
* For now I want to sidestep the important question of "what is an object?" Presently, I would only infer that an object is similar to the concept of an assemblage that DeLanda outlines in A New Theory of Society.
(More to follow soon…)

Many thanks to everyone for the wonderful quilts, they are brilliant. Yesterday we were in touch with Catterick and your quilts will be going up to the new recovery centre there, the week after next.
Oddly we also heard from Colchester yesterday and they were so complimentary about the quilts which grace all of their beds - wasn't that good to hear - another pat on the back to you all.
Again, we are very grateful to you all.

I really want some Levis, there's an outlet store kind of near where I go to college and loads of my friends get jeans from there and come in to college with the nicest jeans and it makes me so jealous! Once I was in Rokit and thought I had got a pair of Levis but turns out they weren't (but they're still super funky). I really want a body suit, I keep seeing nice ones on Asos but a lot of the ones I like have a thong bottom rather than a normal one and I'd rather have a normal one!xReplyDelete
Get some Levis!!!! They really shape to your figure and are so comfy, I recommend them a lot. Also bodysuits are so comfy in my opinion so picking one of them up is a good idea if you like easy things to styleDelete
Great outfit, I love that waistcoat! Looks fab with the style of those jeans xReplyDelete
I'm so glad I stumbled upon your blog! I love your style - I really need to take a leaf out of your book haha! I love this outfit! xReplyDelete
Thank you, that's a lovely thing to hear!Delete
Another amazing outfit - wish I could pull off trainers and the casual look!ReplyDelete

The Trip
Admittedly Fonda is a little wooden, but he's backed with a good cast - Dennis Hopper, and a bearded Bruce Dern who looks like he just walked out of The Band. The music for the film is provided by the Electric Flag, and is a rather good mix of lounge-y jazz, fuzz guitar and freak out electronics - one piece of music even turns up in Easy Rider. Look out for the copy of Howl lying around Bruce Dern's groovy apartment, and fans of Ministry's Psalm 69 album, listen out for some dialogue lifted for "Just One Fix"...
The US MGM DVD of The Trip looks great, featuring a Making Of... and a fine engaging Roger Corman commentary. Best of all, its on a double bill with another LSD film The Psych-Out, which is essential viewing if only to see Jack Nicholson playing rhythm guitar.
POST-SCRIPT: Not a hallucination, I'm glad to say, from the August 1994 issue, Empire's listing for The Trip on the satellite channel Bravo, a rare opportunity for UK audiences to catch what James Ferman once referred to as a "tremendous advertisement for LSD". It was thought that the BBFC had no jurisdiction over television but the screening of The Trip was cancelled at the 11th hour...
2 comments:
A great DVD pairing of some fine 60's cinema. It was the AIP altered ending of The Trip that fittingly put the first cracks in their relationship with Roger Corman - after this the end was in sight...ReplyDelete
...which is a shame because Corman did some really great work at American International. The Trip has long been a favourite of mine - it seems ludicrous now but this film was still banned by the British censor well into 90's - the reasoning that the film would be a "tremendous advertisement for drug taking", (if I remember the quote right) - the BBFC were particularly worried about the rise of ecstasy culture in the early 90's... The Trip is easily the best of the 60's drug movies - that reminds of a great peice by Steven Puchalski about Drug Cinema - it's included in his Slimetime book but I found an online reprint of the article here - it's well worth checking out - lots of good, interesting films mentioned in the text...ReplyDelete

Last week as I was walking down the torrid streets of Lisbon I saw these on the walls of an abandoned building.
The cool part, apart from the obvious solidarity and empathy between two distant countries that are undergoing tumultuous (yet different) times, is that I was there, walking down that street, because I had just finished the last details for my vacation in Turkey. 🙂
Definitely looking forward to it, tumultuous or not 🙂

An album by Ray Ray of Smoke One Ent.
Review presented by Dead Dreads
Listen to "Hellaween 2" by Ray Ray
Any artist(s) interested in having a review done should check out the offers provided by The Write Reviews or contact The Write Reviews.
There are many genres of music, and several different categories within each genre. As The Write Reviews expands, I feel it's only fair to have a team of writers who enjoy hip hop in its big picture, but who also have a slight preference in a category of the genre on an individual basis. This allows the writer to know exactly what the fans of each category expect from an artist and enjoy to hear when it comes to that particular style.
Horrorcore, goth rap, Juggalo music- all of these particular styles of hip hop seem to be closely related when compared with one another. The Write Reviews' newest member, the wicked writer known as Dead Dreads, seems to agree after considering

1- Raisin' Hell
Perfect introduction to this sinister, w.i.c.k.e.d. album. Ray Ray lets you know exactly where he is coming from and where this album is going. His intentions are to raise hell and the title is a fitting start to his second Hellaween compilation.
2- Satan Made Me Do It feat. Locodunit and Saxston
Ray Ray has difficulty incorporating featured artists on his tracks and this is a prime example. It often seems the other artists try to reach a purity of evil that is just not within them so it seems forced. This is opposed to Ray Ray, who flows naturally and really speaks his mind. The hook is simple, but still good and I enjoy the way his verse (he has the third verse) incorporates the hook. Very creative. This is a song I'll definitely be playing for the homies; I just think it would have been better for him to rip the track himself.
3- Type of Killa feat. Stoopid Gutta
Straight up banger, especially for a short track. This one brings the heat. Ray Ray displays the right amount of hype in his delivery and will leave you no choice but to throe up the devil horns and bang your head. His lyrics on this track are brought forth with confidence; he knows what he's spittin is fire and doesn't need the listener to know it or cosign to this. The hook didn't fit the way the verse came in to kill shit. It probably could have been put together better to match the aggression tones of the rest of the song.
4- Voices feat. Rebelyus
Holy Hell! Listening to the hatred coming through during this delivery will make Brotha Lynch say Grrrr. This is by far my favorite verse Ray Ray brings on the album. From the lyrics to his flow, the man spits fire once again. It seems to come out of nowhere as the beginning of the track starts off with a poppy, club-hit kind of feel.
5- Haunted House feat. Dr3bo and Teflon Dollar
Call the gynecologists- this beat is sick nasty. Perfect for the Hellaween theme as it will literally give you chills. The scary vibe and the slaughter house subject matter are a perfect fit. Even the placement of the track on this album works really well. It brings you back to the message and ideas that are being portrayed. I like the range of delivery he can give. This track, unlike others, has a laid back tone, yet the demonic elements are not compromised. Call this classic wicked shit. Unlike a lot of his collaborations, this one really works, and as a result, sets this song apart from other tracks on Hellaween 2.
6- Kush Be All In Me feat. Koopsta Knicca and Saxston
Now it's time to take a smoke break. After all, this is Smoke One Entertainment. We all have love for the Devil's grass. This is more of your typical modern hip hop song as we take a break from the sadistic violence and death. I can appreciate the love for smoke. The vocal bass in the hook goes well with this track, in reference to Ray Ray's high pitch delivery. They're extreme opposites, but I dig it the hook, unlike the song really. I got love for the triple six, but this isn't Hellaween material; it's really just another rap song.
7- Live to Kill You feat. Razakel and Smoke Da Donna
Jumpin right back into high energy aggressive delivery. Ray Ray brings, it as always, but the second verse loses all interest in ever hearing this song again. The hook was pretty weak as well, as the lyrics were pretty corny and it had a poor delivery, in my opinion.
8- He Dead feat. Shini Madara
Another spooky beat well fitting for Hellaween 2. This one brings the high energy delivery over slower beats, but is definitely is missing that great equalizer to make it work. The hook is too repetitive and honestly not that creative.
9- On God
This is a frail ending for a pretty good album. Technically speaking, the quality of this song is good but I would have preferred it end as it started- with over-the-top shock value of destruction in comparison to the relatively peaceful ending that was chosen. Not a fan of the vocal production during the hook and the lyrics chosen also seem like dialogue used in any club across the nation instead of the unique words spoken on most of the album.

Type of Killa, Voices, and Haunted House
Ray Ray has a very different feel compared to today's contemporary hip hop. I enjoy his high energy and aggressive dictation. I like concept albums and, as Halloween is my favorite holiday, this one really speaks to me. The way he speaks with such conviction is very appealing and I think, if given more opportunity to have people hear this record, he could enjoy quite a bit of success with his music. This is an album I would encourage any music fan to check out. Personally, I think Ray Ray would benefit from standing alone more often. The people he brings with him on this album are just not on his level, neither in skill or when it comes to subject matter. I enjoy shock value and wish this album didn't fizzle the way it did at the end.
Ray Ray has serious skills on the mic and has excellent production to go with it. Depending on one's individual preference, the demographic of this style of music can be rather limited, but I think anyone open minded enough to appreciate good, quality music will appreciate the album. If you like dark, wicked, horror-filled subject matter then you'll love Hellaween 2. This is my style of music and personally, I would purchase this album and probably travel to see Ray Ray perform.

Last weekend we spent the day at Weston Super Mare for my birthday, with the (failed) intention of making it to Dismaland. Although we didn't actually make it in, we still enjoyed the beach and spent the afternoon taking photos and messing around in the arcades.
This outfit was inspired by Dismaland, I was going for an edgy rocking mermaid vibe. I love bringing down a more dressy outfit with boots and a leather jacket. It's very Lily Allen circa 2005 and I'd probably say one of my staple looks.

A synopsis of each parasite is provided within tables that are organized by the organ system that is infected (eg, intestinal and blood/tissue protozoan infections and intestinal and blood/tissue helminthic infections). Key concepts are provided at the beginning of the protozoa and helminths sections to give the reader an overview of the paradigms in medical parasitology. Current updates to information provided in this chapter can be found at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dpd. ++ CLASSIFICATION OF PARASITES ++ The parasites covered in this chapter are categorized into two major groups: parasitic protozoa and parasitic helminths. ++ Protozoa are unicellular eukaryotes that form an entire kingdom. Classifying protozoan parasites into taxonomic groups is an ongoing process, and their status is often in a state of flux. For this reason, this chapter separates the parasitic protozoa into four traditional groups based on their means of locomotion and mode of reproduction: flagellates, amebae, sporozoa, and ciliates. Table 46-1 lists several medically important protozoan parasites by the organ system they infect, the mode of infection, diagnosis, treatment, and geographic location. ++Table Graphic Jump LocationTABLE 46-1Synopsis of Protozoan Infections by Organ SystemView Table|Favorite Table|Download (.pdf) TABLE 46-1 Synopsis of Protozoan Infections by Organ System Parasite/Disease Site of Infection Mechanism of Infection Diagnosis Treatment Geographic Area Intestinal protozoa Giardia lamblia (flagellate) Giardiasis Small intestine Ingest cysts in water, not killed by normal chlorination Stool exam for O&P; EIA for antigens Metronidazole or nitazoxanide Ubiquitous: campers, ski resorts, dogs, wild animals, especially beavers Entamoeba histolytica (ameba) Amebiasis Colon; liver; other organs Ingest cysts from fecal contamination of water or food or oral/anal behaviors Stool exam for O&P; EIA for antibodies and antigen Iodoquinol, or paromomycin Worldwide wherever fecal contamination occurs Cryptosporidium (sporozoa) Cryptosporidiosis Small intestine; respiratory tract Ingest oocysts, fecal contamination Stool exam/acid-fast staining; direct-fluorescent staining; EIA for antigens Nitazoxanide for immunocompetent Ubiquitous, especially in cattle-raising areas Cyclospora (sporozoa) Cyclosporiasis Small intestine Oocysts from fecal contamination of water, fresh produce Stool exam—acid-fast staining, UV fluorescence microscopy Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole Worldwide, tropics, subtropics Sexually transmitted protozoa Trichomonas vaginalis (flagellate) Trichomoniasis Vagina; males usually asymptomatic Trophozoites passed from person to person through sexual intercourse Microscopic exam of discharge, urine, tissue scraping Metronidazole for both partners Ubiquitous in sexually active populations Blood and tissue flagellates Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense East African trypanosomiasis, sleeping sickness Blood, lymph Tsetse bite (painful) lacerates skin and releases trypomastigotes Trypomastigotes (extracellular) in blood smear, CSF, or lymph node aspirate; serology (CATT) Hemolytic stage: Suramin Late CNS involvement: Melarsoprol East Africa; antelope, bushbuck are animal reservoirs for human infection Trypanosoma brucei gambiense West African trypanosomiasis, sleeping sickness Blood, lymph Tsetse bite (painful) lacerates skin and releases trypomastigotes Trypomastigotes (extracellular) in blood smear, CSF, or lymph node aspirate; serology (CATT) Hemolytic stage: pentamidine Late ...

Nebraska minister shines light on church issue
SUBMITTED: Friday, March 31, 2017POSTED: Friday, March 31, 2017
A Nebraska minister recently confessed being brought up in a performance based church and said hewas so prideful of himself and made himself distant from fellow believers. Maybe Anthony and his business partners there need to find real jobs and less dependent on charitable donations. Like the bible says "the theif must learn to work with his hands."

Conservative Brannon House recently spoke at a rally for a radio station in Wisconsin this year. Southern Baptost Convention including Richard Land are at the front of the coalitiln to usher in social gospels that promote illegal aliens, and Muslim terrorists into our country by suing state and local governments that prevent Mosques being built. Southern Baptists have a legacy and history of supporting the Klu Klux Klan and slavery of blacks. Now they are try to making up for their pitiful history by promoting corrupt individuals into our country.

A guy in Kodak
AUTHOR: Steven Justuss - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Friday, March 17, 2017POSTED: Friday, March 17, 2017
The guy that lives in the trailor park in Kodak TN and has an Italian voice, he or she started this complaining about big baptist church here. He or her is using an alias. Anyway, many of these baptists can't be Christian, if they are being so prideful and wave the Confederate Flag up town or have it in front of their homes or trailor parks, that is not a Christian flag. The wives at not just this church but many similar and contemporary church groups are so obsessed with their southern heritage, it will make you vomit. Beware of the black deputy that snitches and spys for these types of groups. They treat Lesbians like royalty even they are more sacred than the Bible and Jesus Himself! So paranoid of people they are-and they get hostile or mean when you talk with them about life in general or even talking about God. Many of these women are gossips. History here in this county or area , folks have said that bad, misquitoes infested water was the cause of the majority of malfunctioning of the brains and common sense here in this community. That is why so many in these types of churches are ill-bred, dense or not very friendly it has been said.

Stacey I bet she is a man using a women name to character assasinate someone that redresses their rights. Maturity has nothing to do with "taking it like a man" as some have said. Many of us have debts we owe. I bet your the type that will take the mark of the beast when that time comes! Bet you have some immature behaviors that need some critiquing.

SUBMITTED: Thursday, February 16, 2017POSTED: Thursday, February 16, 2017
forcing people to pay ungodly debts makes people mature? Maybe Stacey is Traci and a drug addicted loser that kisses government's a**! :( Poor pitiful Stacey. Probably lives alone and insecure. Bet you work for that department don't you? It is typical behavior for employees to defend their jobs. Look at Director Comey for the FBI. Did Mr. Comey act like an adult and take blame for covering his lies to Congress? Answer is No Stacey. Being mature has nothing to do with paying a fine or debt. It is all selfishness and all part of how unanswered concerns by mail sent to officals go unanswered. Citizens have a right to redress their grievances and the federal laws are more observed and lawful at times than the state laws run by corrupt and wealthy politicans that run their mouths and have no brains. Illinois is the most corrupt state of all 50 states.

I was both excited and concerned by this particular review. On one hand magnetic arm bands saved me from most of the horror of hyperemsis gravidarium (excessive nausea and vomiting in pregnancy) but on the other hand I wasn't entirely convinced that they worked.
We received a stunning haematite bracelet for PlayPennies to review from Magnetic Therapy Ltd. and I was smitten. The bracelet doesn't look all arty farty or weird, instead the purple stones complemented most of my wardrobe and people commented on how pretty it was.
Most people were taken aback when I told them it was a magnetic therapy bracelet – they had no idea they could look so stylish.
Now the background to the use of haematite is this – it's a volcanic substance that is similar to magnetite and lodestone that is naturally magnetic and is believed to be a cure for depression (or melancholia in older texts – I just love that word). Considered a semi-precious stone, it catches the light beautifully and these bracelets come in a strength of 1200 gauss.
Magnetic therapy is believed to offer improvements in mental status, brain development, circulation, diabetes, headaches, stress and even to control smoking urges. The different designs and magnets used will affect exactly how the magnets work with your body and how well they react. Necklaces and bracelets are the most common.
As I wasn't feeling particularly depressed, I can't testify to my stunner of a bracelet having cured me of depression, or eased it anyway, but I can say that I did feel a little bouncier. Whether this is because of the bracelet or is psychosomatic I can't say. Not that I care really, no matter which factor affects my mood when I wear it, it still works.
I did find the bracelet quite tight which wasn't very pleasant. Although I'm sure that's the whole point of magnetic therapy, I prefer looser bands on my wrists or they tickle a bit. Yes, I may be a bit odd, I know. The haematite bracelets retail for £16.95 and there is quite a large range to choose from, and the standard magnetic bracelets are £14.95 or two for £25.90.
And Finally
Overall I really liked this product, even though I didn't actually expect to. My inner cynic was screaming a lot of the time but whenever I told people what I was wearing, the conversation always turned to someone having had a miraculous experience with magnets. It's definitely a fascinating subject and I lost many hours to researching and reading about it.
The bracelets are stylish and there is an impressive range to choose from and the price point is reasonable. You can buy really awful sparkly tat that falls apart after two uses or you can get one of these (either as a bracelet or a necklace) and it will last forever and have potentially wonderful effects on your health. I know which one I choose, I already got one for a friend that's planning her wedding. For stress, obviously...

Dear Editor:
A few months ago I contacted SEAACA for assistance regarding a dog's excessive barking. I was told they would send someone out and to give it a couple of weeks and call back if the problem continues. When, after a few weeks, the barking persisted, I called SEAACA again.
The return call from an animal control officer informed me they had gone out, the dog had food and water, the license was current, and the dog owner had said something would be done about the barking. When I said the barking was continuing, she told me they were doing me a favor going out to the house and couldn't sit outside the residence 24 hours a day.
I inquired if there was anything in the way of a fine for the excess barking which is a nuisance; she said it's a civil issue and I can "lawyer up" if I want. She also said another household had called regarding the same dog and we could sign a petition (which SEAACA provides) with a minimum of three signatures and go to court about the barking.
There is bound to be some barking when one owns a dog; I understand one cannot totally stop a dog from barking. But I am left with two choices: either continue to put up with the excessive barking (which occurs at variable hours) or try to get two other people to sign the petition and go to court.
I did once attempt to speak to a dog owner whose puppy was left out all-night and whined and barked the whole night. I was informed, "That's what dogs do."
There is more responsibility involved in having a dog that just giving it food and water.

My Last Kiss by Bethany Neal
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Shelves: Fantasy/Pnr/Everything Untoward, Hot like meh
Abandoned at 45%.
The sun shone, having no alternative, on the nothing new.
~Samuel Beckett, Murphy
The book told on, having no alternative, the nothing new. The exceptionally boring nothing new.
My First Kiss has been compared to The Lovely Bones, and I cannot express how ardently I agree with this statement. Both are supremely slow and monotonous, the main character's voice doing nothing to remedy that, even in their phantom state.
For the first half of the book- the only part I read- Cassidy Haines, recently dead and spectral, tries not to remember all that she's forgotten about her life as a result of being dead- killed or otherwise. Because lo and behold, it appears she might have been faithful to her not-a-douchebag of a boyfriend.
I do not give turtle's fossilized crap.
Cassidy is seen by no one, heard by no one except of course the boyfriend she cheated on- not that he knows. And they make out, dance, fight, reveal trivial secrets, and discuss, in passing, her existentialism.
The fish drank all my rat crap shakes.
Cassidy whines. She's dead so I'll give her that. But she whines more, and now the whines are subtle, sneaking up on you, like my arch-nemesis, Waspssssss.
Wasps don't give shits out just like that.
Cassidy's best friend tries to solve her murder, figure out the identity of the perpetrator, while everyone gathers her death to be a suicide. She barely haunts her best friend.
The official statement is that I've run out of fucks. Nothing personal, you know.
Cassidy has no sense of humor, dark or otherwise; no intriguing traits or worries I'd care a fuck about, no sass and nothing. Even her loneliness or dying hopes for the future she'll never have is non-existent. The mystery doesn't begin until the latter half apparently, so how on earth am I supposed to stay with her that long?
Occam's Razor: I don't. I cannot.
This is the story. This is boring. This is why I don't care to continue. The rest is dust, except the choice that is yours.
(Actually, I would have loved to finish the story and continue to the end had something interesting- besides her dying- happened earlier. The twists and turns everyone's talking about make me yearn, as do quotes like this:
It seems everyone I know holds captive some piece of my past. I want them, no matter how much they'll hurt. They're mine and I deserve to hold them.
But since nothing did, I'd rather just avert my face so I don't long too much(I desire closure too much, sometimes).)

Children need visual gags. Yes, the magic is important, but children will respond to you and your magic much stronger if they can be made to laugh. Slapstick is always funny to children. Tripping, falling down, getting tangled up in some way, always gets a laugh. Even if they don't quite 'get' the magic, they will get the humor, and that will go a long ways toward making your show successful.
Check the link in the Magic Links category for David Kaye's 'Seriously Silly' book. If you need help setting up and carrying out a first class childrens show, David's book is the answer.

YM Biosciences's JAK-2 Inhibitor for Myelofibrosis – Could this be the best in class?Posted by lifetech on April 20th, 2011
The discovery of a JAK2 mutation in 2005 led many to believe that the future of myelofibrosis (MF), a chronic blood malignancy, was about to change, and several companies started to develop JAK2 inhibitors. Such hope was based on the successful Gleevec precedent which dramatically altered the outlook for chronic myeloid leukemia patients who carried the BCR-ABL genetic aberration. Yet, such hope was unfounded and expectations have appropriately toned down: JAK2 inhibitors seem less likely to change the natural history of MF. But interest remains high given that the class of agents is very active in MF; JAK2 inhibition confers significant improvement in morbidity and quality of life primarily by shrinking the enlarged MF spleen and controlling constitutional symptoms. Incyte's and Novartis' ruxolitinib is likely to be the first JAK2 inhibitor to reach the market, probably by year-end. But there is room for improvement as not all patients respond to tolerated doses and ruxolitinib does not correct anemia – an important predictor of survival. For this reason, YM Biosciences' intriguing early data for its compound CYT387 has generated a great buzz on the street. It seems to be associated with a highly impressive anemia response, which clearly differentiates it from the JAK2 inhibitor pack. If CYT387's anemia effect is confirmed, it would represent a major marketing advantage. But is the effect real and why so many doubts? In our latest report, we dissect the CYT387 data trying to separate what is solid from what is problematic as a means to gauge whether this could be the true market leader.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - House Agriculture Committee Chairman Michael Conaway on Monday called for swift action to avoid a "trade war" after the United States lost a trade dispute with Mexico and Canada over meat labeling.
Conaway, a Republican, said he had asked committee members to a meeting on Wednesday to try to resolve the issue.
"As retaliation by Canada and Mexico becomes a reality, it is more important now than ever to act quickly to avoid a protracted trade war with our two largest trade partners," he said in a statement.
