A laptop is handy, and it's the computer of option for so numerous people today. It's even a necessity for the contemporary businessperson and pupil on the go. However, there's an overwhelming amount of option available to customers, and unless of course you're a pc guru, it can be difficult to tends to make heads or tails of them.
Seeing as I have a midstream Build Gaming PC now (Radeon 4670 1GB, 3gb DDR2 800, Athlon 6000+ X2 three.1ghz) I was able to play the sport on high options. It is a stunning game, but because of to the strange character of the graphics, a kind of off defeat cel-shaded comic book style, I experienced a mild headache for about 60 minutes. Soon after, I was fine, and it didn't truly impede on my gaming.
For an added touch I installed rope mild along the ceiling with a dimmer manage. We sometimes watch Tv in the theater but mainly conserve it for movies. We don't lease anymore, and attempt to choose out good DVDs to include to our assortment. My favorite film is Floor Hog Day, I by no means get exhausted of viewing it and it is a lot better with out the commercials.
You will nonetheless spend as much as $1600 for a great gaming Pc, if you go to 1 of the little impartial companies that provides to visit the following website page for you. I just do not have that type of money, and I don't want to spend that a lot on a computer that will become obsolete in about five many years.
RAM plays a vital function in visit the following website page. Adding much much more memory improve the pace of your video games and other programs. But make sure that your motherboard supports the kind of the RAM. A minimal of 2GB of RAM should be used but 4GB is recommended.
There are many processor choices out there correct now. Intel's i-sequence is amazing, and it has brought on the prices of AMD's fine options to plummet. Do not get swept up in all the quad-core pleasure. Customers can have solitary- and dual-core CPUs at fantastic prices, and they're much more than sufficient for the typical non-Build Gaming PC user.
A gaming mouse was 1 of the very best investments I made for my Build Gaming PC. Some thing these mice have that regular types don't is an extremely high DPI (dots for each inch) which is normally adjustable. This indicates every smidge you transfer your physical mouse, the cursor will transfer Much more on the screen. Providing you much much more manage, precision, and pace.
The final component that you need to think about is the difficult generate. Hard drives are accessible in many capacities that range from somewhere in between forty Gigabytes and 100 Gigabytes and much more, and in many speeds from somewhere in between 4200 RPMs and 7200 RPMs. To perform all of the modern video games you really need a hard drive with a speed of 7200 RPM. Nevertheless, if a difficult generate with this pace isn't available or you can't pay for it you can go with a hard drive that has speed of 5400 RPM. Remember as well that you can always include visit the following website page hard drive or upgrade yours at a later time.
The best processors to get nevertheless would be AMD Fx or the Intel Extreme edition. If you really want to improve your pc gaming encounter, these are two essential factors. When you want a gaming pc or any pc for a very particular purpose then I suggest that you build it yourself. It pays to do a little research about what hardware you want to buy and what you want it to do for you. You don't want to discover yourself putting out a fire that an overworked power provide caused because it couldn't handle the tasks it experienced to do.
However, there are some other variables. The ASUS G51J-A has a shorter battery life simply because it has a smaller sized battery, and there are also some variations in other features this kind of as ports and weight. All things considered the ASUS G51J-A1, the Dell XPS 16, and the Sager NP8590 are all fairly equal, and would make a great desktop substitute.
Furthermore, an additional essential factor to do when you want to Build Home Theater PC is hiding the wires if it is not wireless. In this case, you have to do something so that you will have good place to view your favorite films.
PATA - PATA (Parallel ATA, sometimes referred to as IDE/EIDE) is an older model drive. It's sluggish by todays requirements and you'll want to avoid it. If you're upgrading from an older pc it probably has a PATA generate in it.
The games of these days are obtaining more and much better graphics, a simple 128 Mb, or 256 MB video clip card won't help you anymore. Also, your RAM memory should be at least 1GB. These 2 are the primary issues to maintain an eye on when you visit the following website page for gaming. About the other issues like a audio card and the motherboard, just get a great 1, it hasn't have to costly.
The dreaded three crimson lights problem is caused by overheating the majority of the time and there are a number of ways you can stop this. Initial off, make certain that you do NOT maintain it within any type of display cupboard like you might have with an enjoyment center with you cable box, dvd participant, sound equipment, etc.

Nearly two months after Palm Beach County Sheriff`s Sgt. James ``Rocky`` Hunt was slain, authorities think they have recovered the weapon used to kill him.
A chrome .38-caliber Smith & Wesson was found west of Lantana on Tuesday next to a chain-link fence separating a car carrier terminal from a storage lot for boats and recreational vehicles.
``It seems very likely that`s the weapon. It fits the physical description,`` sheriff`s spokesman Bob Ferrell said. Trucks parked on the terminal ground may have impeded efforts to find the gun, Ferrell said.
The gun was in the general area where suspect Nicholas Hardy and three teen- age friends fled on foot after Hunt`s death, authorities have said.
The man who found the gun said two compartments in the chamber were empty -- the same number of bullets fired at Hunt.
State Attorney Barry Krischer, who has charged Hardy with Hunt`s murder, was not sure on Wednesday how significant the gun`s recovery would be.
``It could be a crucial piece of evidence if there are fingerprints on it. If not, it`s important and useful but not crucial,`` Krischer said. The chances of finding a fingerprint after the gun has been lying outside for two months is ``slim to none,`` he said.
Also, the gun is corroded and must be restored before a bullet can be fired through it to compare it to one recovered from Hunt`s body, Krischer said.

Australian Actress Margot Robbie's minimal makeup, glowing complexion and loose beach waves lit up the bleak English countryside at Glastonbury Music Festival over the weekend.
The Suicide Squad star paired her toned-down beauty look with a pair of bright yellow aviators and an oversized Mickey Mouse t-shirt – a refreshing change from the flower crowns that typically adorn the heads of festival-bound celebs.

But when it comes to her at at-home beauty routine, the 26-year-old takes a slightly more unconventional approach.
Margot recently revealed she's been glossing her lips in nappy rash cream her whole life to prevent her lips drying out.
"I use Bepanthen, which is actually a nipple cream for breastfeeding mothers or diaper rash cream for babies. I have a conspiracy theory that lip balms have additives in them to dry your lips out so you keep buying them. But because Bepanthen is just a cream for dry skin, it works. It's what I've used my whole life," she told US Elle Magazine.
The Wolf of Wall Street actress also ditches beauty blenders and foundation brushes in favour of an eyebrow brush or toothbrush to apply her makeup.
"My friend taught me this trick that I use it every day. When I put on foundation, I use an eyebrow brush or toothbrush to brush it into my hairline so that it all blends. Especially because I have blonde hair but tanned skin, if I don't blend it, it looks gross—you can see the foundation in my hair," she said.

The Australian actress is vigilant about how she maintains her flawless complexion and likes to switch up her skincare routine and products.
"I'm lucky enough to work with so many amazing makeup artists who introduce me to new products, which means I switch up my skincare routine and makeup products quite a lot. I will always start by cleansing my face. At the moment I'm using a Dr Lancer cleanser. For moisturisers, I love the La Prairie moisturiser and their eye cream is great too. I'm not a big fan of serums as my skin can be quite sensitive and sometimes it reacts to them but I do love facial mists," she told UK Marie Claire.
As for her signature scent, the Big Short star stays true to US luxury brand Calvin Klein's sensual fragrance Deep Euphoria, which she's been the face of since July last year.
"It's genuinely the one I wear," she told US Elle.

After a year of starring in box-office hits like Suicide Squad, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot and The Legend of Tarzan, the newlywed actress is currently taking an extend holiday in Europe with her new husband, British assistant director Tom Ackerley.
Her next on-screen appearance will be in October, where she plays the role of Winnie the Pooh author AA Milne's wife in Simon Curtis' drama Goodbye Christopher Robin.

Style: Electronica-Indietronic | IDM
2nd mouse – "levite" (Fwonk Netlabel)
IDM Jam Session | The first of the twins is the endearing and imaginative way that Chris Da Mouse, aka 2nd Mouse (could that be his real name?), introduced his new album "Levite" in an email that pinged into my inbox less than a week ago. This album is indeed the first of two works compiled, I am told, during an explosively creative period of six months when, due to being internet-less, he was able to concentrate on living life and making music. Well, I'm pleased to say that the big net machine's loss was music's gain, as he put his time to excellent use.
2nd mouse - "Times are hard for dreamers" (MP3)
2nd mouse - "Fistful of beats" (MP3)
2nd mouse - "Ai Moo" (MP3)
2nd mouse- "So, tell me Oscillato" (MP3)
2nd Mouse describes his music as being like Plaid, Depeche Mode, Aphex Twin and Square Pusher having a jam session - imagine what a party that would be. So, with this illustrious company in mind, standards are set very high.
Mister Da Mouse chooses his sounds well with an ear to individual combinations of both classic and new sounds that cause you to re-assess your assumptions. "Levite" is an album whose feel is, in one respect, cinematic; tracks such as "Times are hard for dreamers" and a "Fistful of beats" create a sense of place, atmosphere and narrative in the listener that is evocative and entrancing. On the other hand Levite is also an album stuffed full with good old synth pop tunes. Throughout there is a sense of playfulness.
The already well honed sense of melody, displayed with such aplomb in his previous album "An Armful Of Opposite Lock" has now been refined. This, allied to an undoubted sense of creative confidence that comes with hitting one's stride, produces some delightful and surprising moments of wry musical wit and humor. Where "An Armful" had more moments of darkness "Levite" is an exercise in balance. A track like "Drone Revolt", which has something of the nasty about it, contains an excitable super fast keyboard lick to offset the sinister elements. What we have here is a mature collection of compositions that deploy pop sensibilities and mix them intelligently with more cutting edge elements to produce exquisite tracks such as "So, tell me Oscillator" and "Ai Moo". Here there are parallels with the music of the excellent King Bastard from Herb Recordings.
The wistful and atmospheric "Times are hard for dreamers" transports you to a caberet club, complete with crooning vocals from Mister Da Mouse, brushed drums, string and echoed guitar strikes and meandering keyboards. This is down at heal dreaming; a nostalgia for a past yet to happen; a place for gin soaked regrets from the future. On "So, tell me Oscillator" inspiration is drawn from the little known electronic artist Plone and continues in a retro 50s kitch vibe often favoured by 2nd Mouse. This kitch element is further explored in the whimsical "Fistful of beats" a Spaghetti-western themed track complete with clomping woodblock sound and honkey-tonk-esque piano.
I enjoyed the previous offering, "An Armful of Opposite Lock", because of 2nd Mouse's ability to imaginatively combine classic synth sounds with unusual and unexpected elements, without making it seem forced. Levite takes this a step further in what is an album of both considerable maturity and childish pleasure. Can't wait for the second twin, "Minerva", to be born on www.sampleoakrecords.com. Play it loud with the lights out.

Dr. Virginia Nell Duncan's Bio
Dr.'s Virginia Nell Duncan was born and raised in San Antonio. She wanted to be a veterinarian since she was 4 years old. She graduated from Texas A& M College of Veterinary Medicine with a DVM in 2002. She met her husband in vet school and they married shortly after graduating. After practicing in Austin for a few years the Dr.'s Duncan bought a small animal practice just north of San Antonio.

Practicing at Acres North Animal Hospital was an easy choice for Dr. Virginia Nell Duncan, as she had worked with Dr. Crowley earlier in her career. She is happy to find a vet clinic where she can continue to practice good quality medicine and develop relationships with clients and their pets! In her free time, Dr. Duncan serves on the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors at the San Antonio Zoo and fosters dogs for SNIPSA.

The Reel Deal Film Series Presents: The Sessions (Post your comments!!!)April 14, 2013 1 Comment
The Reel Deal finished its 2012-2013 program with director Ben Lewin's evocative film "The Sessions".
Director's chair discussant Brian Murphy asked the audience an intriguing question: how can a movie about the profound limitations of a man (Mark O'Brien) stricken with polio at age 6 and forced to live most of his life in the mechanical isolation of an iron lung machine provide an uplifting experience???? Toni Sanchez Murphy and Susan Orbach explored the psychological impact of O'Brien's struggle to exist with physicality in an able-bodied world, claiming the right to experience himself as a sexual being. Boundary crossings and violations were defined and discussed throughout the afternoon in panel-audience discussion that was lively and thought-provoking. What is the role of a sexual surrogate? Should such relationships be encouraged as therapeutic? Was Mark OBrien's relationship with a sexual surrogate essential or just good copy? Are there boundaries in such a relationship?
Brian Murphy helped orient the audience to the evolution of the Hollywood conception of psychotherapy/psychoanalysis with a discussion of film clips from Hitchcock's classic "Spellbound", starring Ingrid Bergman and Gregory Peck (including a fascinating dream sequence designed by Salivador Dali) and the recent international film "The Intouchables". Tony and Susan provided thoughtful comments about the possibilities for growth under even the most dire circumstances. A clip from Jessica Yu's award winning documentary "Breathing Lessons" (which of course features the real Mark OBrien) reinforced the marvel of this man's story. Comments from the audience ranged from bold questions about the definition and clarification of the motivations and justifications of boundary violations to thoughtful acknowledgement of the power of poetic language to create meaning.
This was a powerful program and participants were encouraged to continue the discussion here. Susan Orbach's paper will be downloaded here so that others can read (or re read) it and expand some of the points that began in the discussion.
The Bloomfield Library once again provided an ideal venue for our Reel Deal programming.
What a wonderful season!
Thanks to all who participated!
See you at the opener on Sunday, September 22, 2013: Michael Haneke's masterpiece: Amour!!!!

Latest Top Gear TV trailer contains Aston Martin Vulcan
The Top Gear teasers continue as the BBC has released a new trailer celebrating a "Great British Summer" in the rain-soaked seaside resort of Blackpool.
After showing a thoroughly displeased Chris Evans and Matt Leblanc, the clip moves onto some more exciting fare including Chris Harris going flat out in an Aston Martin Vulcan at the Abu Dhabi GP circuit. The clip also reveals a number of other high-performance machines including a Corvette Z06, Dodge Viper, Ford Mustang, and Ferrari 250GT TdF. The revamp season will also feature an assortment of luxury crossovers including the new Mercedes GLC and Jaguar F-Pace.
The teaser footage doesn't provide a lot of context but this year's season will be particularly interesting as it will be the first without Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond. The trio left the show last year to create a new series for Amazon Prime.
The old hosts were a staple of Top Gear and helped turn the show into an international phenomenon so it will be interesting to see if the new six-host lineup - which also includes Eddie Jordan, Sabine Schmitz, and Rory Reid - can keep viewers interested.

Presentation of products and services
The business-to-business (B2B) exhibition took place on June 1, 2014 in the exhibition hall of event venue.

A rich program took place on the stage of the exhibition hall, which turned the hall into an interactive networking and business platform.
Making new contacts with other organic businesses within short period of time
The aim of this session in general is to bring together business professionals from the organic sector according to their business profile and product range. During the networking process participants had an opportunity to present their profiles to many other session partners in format of multiple short face-to-face meetings. Participants were divided in groups according to products they are working with so that those who are interested to sell would meet those who are interested to buy and the other way around.
In February this year EkoConnect already organised in terms of BioFach 2014 Speed Networking Session. Here you will find more information.

David puts it simply from the get-go: "One of the secrets of us staying together – since we've both worked [as lawyers] in divorce work over the years – we understand how ugly and horrible it can be."
He goes on to say, "I have nothing against divorce … it's a positive in certain circumstances. I've always said a kid that grows up in two separate happy households is better than the kid who grows up in one unhappy household."
David and Israela's temperament is typical of people living in the northeast. They speak quickly and their humor is dry. Their home is midway between Boston, MA and Providence, RI. They've both been in that house and married for 20 years this year and have two teenage children.
Israela jokes, "I keep telling people he's my starter husband – because I did not marry for money – and I probably should have – but I still haven't left my starter home so…" David adds, "Starter husband, starter home, so we're kind of stuck in this whole thing now."
They emphasize their similar sense of humor is critical in their marriage. David says, "You try to figure out where the line is and you don't go over it … When you can laugh about something you did, it makes it much easier to accept that you're not perfect."
Getting to what makes their love last – they value communication above all else. Israela explains, "Marriages don't break up because of infidelity; they break up because of a lack of communication. Infidelity is a way for people to express that something is wrong without actually having to deal with the issue."
David adds, "Infidelity is a side effect – it's not a primary cause … What it comes down to though, is a lot of marriages break up because of a lack of communication. People are afraid to say, 'I'm not happy with this aspect of our relationship. I'm not happy here.'"
So they agree – if one of them has an issue, they try to let the other person know and they work it out. Aside from their careers as a reminder, it also helps that they have plenty of opportunities because they really, really like to spend time together. They've both have crafted their work around being home together more often with both of them working from home sometimes. Here's Israela:
We've always said we're rather do something that we don't enjoy – together – than do something we enjoy without each other – and that holds true … We didn't go to a movie for the first 8 months of our relationship because we didn't feel like we wanted to sit in a dark room and not talk.
David also points out, "It's different than people that work outside of the home for 80 hours in separate areas and don't see each other as much."
How does your professional work influence your outlook on your home life with your partner? How do you let your partner know when you're not happy about an aspect of your relationship?

For those patients who desire curvier, fuller, rounder buttocks, butt augmentation, also known as the Brazilian Butt Lift, has become the procedure of choice. The actual procedure isn't really a lift, but a transfer of the patient's own fat from areas of the body that have excess fat. The created effect is that of a contoured torso and/or upper thighs with rounder, shapelier, more prominent buttocks. A Brazilian Butt Lift is an outpatient procedure that yields long lasting results.
A Brazilian Butt Lift might be right for you if you desire a fuller, more shapely buttocks. Many butt lift patients experience sagging skin or cellulite issues & excess skin caused by pregnancy.
Liposuction is used to gather fat from areas of the body that have excess, such as the stomach, thighs and upper hip. That same fat is then taken and injected it into the buttocks in a layered fashion that adds dimension and makes the area appear to be rounder and have a "lifted" appearance.
You will need 1 to 2 hours post-procedure to recover, after which you will be free to go home. Patients typically experience minimal post-operative bruising. A compression garment to reduce swelling will be prescribed. Most patients resume usual activities in less than a week and are able to resume full activity and exercise in 2 weeks. Routinely, the Brazilian Butt Lift is a two-procedure process. After the first procedure, you will have a 6-month follow-up. Depending on your age, weight and general health, it will be determined if you need the second procedure to achieve a longer-lasting result.
If you are interested in learning more about a Brazilian Butt Lift, and would like to see if you are a good candidate, contact us to schedule a consultation at our office located in Manhattan, serving New York City and surrounding areas.

Newsroom developer? Why? Journalism matters and it is in crisis is why.
I care deeply about journalism and it is in crisis. Journalism matters. The free press is important to a functioning democracy. Journalism has the power to change the world. There are few moments in time more innovative, entrepreneurial and exciting than right now in the news industry.

Neatorama is one of my favorite sites to browse every day. I'm sometimes inspired to post about things related to what I see there. A few weeks ago I posted about optical album art w/ hidden messages, so I emailed Alex from Neatorama, figuring his other readers would find it just as interesting as I did.
He was nice enough to link directly to the post & my website. I usually have about 80 people visit my site a day. This blog has been for my own amusement & mental release more than anything, so the fact that anyone was reading it at all is pretty cool to me.
Today, however, thanks to the apparent legion of Neatorama readers, I've had over 50,000 visitors view the post he linked to. That's more than double the total number of visitors to The Monkey Buddha since I started recording my thoughts here, 3 years ago. If I had that many readers every day I would probably write material that was completely outrageous & mind blowing - instead of my currently just mildly crazy & semi-enlightening posts.
: )
If anyone who visited that post actually ends up coming back & reading this, I guess I'd suggest
• perusing the links down the right side of the page,
• typing random topics into the search box at the very top,
• or clicking the categories at the end of each post.
I have three years worth of "Monkey Buddhism" that can be explored.
The only other thing I would have to mention to new visitors to this site would be to check out the award-winning strategy board game I created - "Da Vinci's Challenge". It is the yin to chess's yang & in my humble opinion it is one of the greatest games ever created. It's one of the rare creations that has the potential to survive the ages.

The Wake-Up Call: Assessing C.J. Beathard impact on the offense, Iowa and the NBA and more
The best way to start your day is right here at Landof10.com as we prepare you for everything you need to know about Iowa sports. We'll share our Hawkeyes Wake-Up Call here with you at 8:30 a.m (ET) Monday through Friday.
So let's get to it. Here is your Wake-Up Call for Wednesday, Oct. 26.
Breaking down Beathard's play
How would you describe the play of Iowa quarterback C.J. Beathard?
A reporter posed the question to Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz on the Big Ten teleconference on Tuesday. It's a simple query, but it's a complex answer.
"I think really the question is about our offense, in my mind," Ferentz said. "Certainly the quarterback is an integral part of that. I think C.J. is doing fine. We are just not playing well enough right now to win. Three times we've come up short.
"There are some things that factor into that, whether it's injuries, graduation, etc. But we are eight weeks into it now and we've got to find some answers so we can be more productive in the coming four weeks."
Ferentz's answer begs another question. How much of an offense's success is the quarterback responsible for?
It's a much more interesting question for Iowa. Beathard is good, but not great, through eight games, throwing for 1,380 yards, 11 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. It's an assessment Pro Football Focus agrees with.
#Iowa QB CJ Beathard's 70.8 passing grade is tops in the #BigTen, but ranks him just 39th nationally. pic.twitter.com/l8JnaG1UM9
— PFF College Football (@PFF_College) October 26, 2016
Is Beathard responsible for the times the receivers can't get separation from defensive backs? Is he to be held responsible for an offensive line that didn't give him time to throw early in the season?
Quarterback is the most unique position in sports. It can impact a game or season more than any other in sports. It's also one of the most dependent positions in sports.
A great quarterback can take a good team and turn it into a true contender. Texas A&M wouldn't have been the same without Johnny Manziel as the signal-caller.
An inferior supporting cast can make it impossible for a good quarterback to appear like one. Any Indianapolis Colts game seems to be proof of that with Andrew Luck.
Beathard wasn't necessarily outstanding in the first eight games, but he wasn't the biggest problem impacting the offense week-to-week. Early, it was the offensive line. Lately, it's the pass catchers.
Beathard isn't the same player from last season, but that one wouldn't be putting up the same stats with this Iowa offense.
Now that's a block
So this happened this weekend.
Scherff with a trap of his own against a 2i. Tougher than it looks when it's that tight https://t.co/1BzV4e6T5N
— OL Watchdog (@OLineScout) October 25, 2016
The play of offensive lineman like former Iowa star Brandon Schreff can get lost during the course of a game, but a block like this one certainly stands out.
Schreff, the No. 5 overall pick in the 2015 draft, has found a home for himself with Washington. He's started all 23 games of his two-year career with the Redskins and he's part of the reason why they've rebounded from a 0-2 start. Washington has won four of its last five and is 4-3.
No Cubs, no
It's safe to say Iowa freshman men's basketball player Tyler Cook isn't rooting for Chicago in the World Series. In fact, he didn't like it that the Iowa men's basketball twitter account sent out a tweet about the Cubs playing in their first World Series game in 71 years on Tuesday.
I'm disappointed. #STL https://t.co/js76TGDPWM
— Tyler Cook (@KingCook_25) October 25, 2016
Happy #WorldSeries Day! pic.twitter.com/kDXV8ap5U3
— Iowa Basketball (@IowaHoops) October 25, 2016
Cook isn't a fan of the picture of his coach Fran McCaffery in a Cubs jersey throwing out a first pitch at Wrigley Field. Honestly, he shouldn't be. He went to high school in St. Louis. He's a Cardinals fan.
There will be plenty of folks in Iowa City rooting for the Cubs in the World Series. Cook just won't be one of them.
Are you ready for some basketball?
The NBA season kicked off on Tuesday, a fact the Cubs fans amongst the Iowa faithful might have overlooked.
The 2016-17 campaign begins without a Hawkeye on any NBA roster, as Mike Hlas from the Cedar Rapids Gazette points out.
Devyn Marble is no longer with the Orlando Magic and Jarrod Uthoff was waived by the Toronto Raptors in the preseason.
It's very likely a former Iowa player won't play in the Association all season. Hawkeye fans will have to settle for watching Golden State and Kevin Durant doing things like this all season.

My boyfriend had a birthday recently. To celebrate the day, we grilled steaks, baked potatoes, tossed a crisp, fresh salad and steamed some green beans (before we got to the chocolate-on-chocolate cookie cake, that is.)
I went to Brookshire's and got ribeyes for me and my boyfriend. (I couldn't even eat half of mine because they were so huge and delicious.) However, my boys are really picky about steak (this makes me question their parentage) and don't like ribeye because of the marbling. A sirloin is "too chewy" for them, so I ended up getting a New York strip. Not only is it tender but it's also flavorful, and my boyfriend works magic on the grill. I promised them the steak would be as tender as a maiden's heart, as Celebrity Chef David Wade used to say.
When it came almost time to eat, my boys asked if they could have their steak on a sandwich.
Are you kidding me? Steak is delicious plain.
Apparently, steak is also delicious on a sandwich.
I had soft, chewy pretzel rolls in the pantry and some sharp cheddar in the refrigerator, so when the New York strip came off the grill all crusty and juicy, I let it rest. Then, I sliced it into thin slivers across the grain and laid it on the bread.
The boys loved it. They even picked the steak off the bread and ate it just as it was meant to be eaten.
So, whether you eat it on a sandwich or as a steak, the New York strip, on sale at Brookshire's this week, is a great choice.

Volume: 15 Issue: 10
(October 2017)
alleged corruption involving nca basketball programs us attorneys office southern district new york ('us attorneys office announced 26 september
The US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York ('US Attorney's Office') announced on 26 September 2017 the arrest of ten individuals alleged to have taken part in wire fraud, bribery, and conspiracy in connection with 'two related fraud and corruption schemes' involving National Collegiate Athletic Association ('NCAA') basketball programs. The US Department of Justice ('DoJ') press release states that the arrests include four Division I NCAA men's basketball coaches and a senior executive at a major athletic apparel company, who are alleged to have taken part in "corrupt practice in which highly rated high school and college basketball players were steered toward lucrative business deals with agents, advisors, and an international athletics apparel company," stated FBI Assistant Director William F Sweeney.
According to the DoJ's press release the two fraud and corruption schemes have been investigated by the US Attorney's Office and the FBI since 2015. The first scheme, dubbed the 'Coach Bribery Scheme,' allegedly involved bribes being paid by athlete advisors such as financial advisors and business managers to assistant and associate head basketball coaches at NCAA Division I universities, sometimes directly to student athletes, in exchange for influencing student athletes to retain the services of the bribe-payers once they entered the National Basketball Association ('NBA').
The second scheme, identified in the DoJ's press release as the 'Company-1 Scheme,' alleges that bribes were paid to student athletes, prospective student athletes and their families in order to persuade them to commit to enrolling at certain Company-1 sponsored universities and agreeing to be sponsored by the bribe-payers once they enter the NBA.
"The NCAA's amateurism model is vulnerable to this kind of corruption network because of the substantial commercial value of intercollegiate sports," said Matthew Mitten, Professor of Law and Executive Director at Marquette University. "The strong economic potential for corruption is exacerbated because elite, highly recruited high school basketball players are not immediately eligible to play in the NBA after graduation. The NBA effectively requires them to play collegiately (or overseas in a foreign professional league) for at least one year because they must be 19 years old to be eligible for the NBA Draft. This barrier to entry in the form of a one year delay into US major league professional basketball combined with NCAA rules prohibiting price competition among universities for the services of elite players younger than 19 creates an opportunity for corruption and other illegal conduct among college coaches, agents, and companies seeking to advance their respective economic interests by providing financial incentives to highly talented young basketball players not yet eligible to play in the NBA."
The DoJ has yet to make any further announcements regarding the defendants and the alleged offences.

How to kiss frogs and compare marketing agencies
Let me start this with a disclaimer. I work for The Revery. It's a marketing agency specialising in inbound marketing, brand strategy and digital marketing for B2B techs.
This article is not a plug for us – it's about real world experiences I've had from the client side of the fence. But if you want to know why we were named in CIO's Top 25 to watch you can read all about it here.
Now we have that clear, let me wind back the clock to the many years I worked inhouse for some of Australia's most successful private and listed companies. During that time I worked with a lot of agencies – digital, branding, advertising, the gamut.
I had some really successful agency relationships, where we were working as a team, striving for common goals and feeding off each other's energy. I also had some really unsuccessful relationships where it felt like we were talking different languages and the agency just didn't 'get' what we were about.
I've kissed a lot of agency frogs, figuratively speaking, and in the process have learnt a lot about how to spot a prince and avoid a toad. Here is my list for comparing marketing agencies and finding your perfect match.
1. Which one 'gets' your business?
This is probably the biggest one for me. You need an agency that gets your business, the products you sell, your clients and your culture. I once worked with an agency that for a year kept referring to us as a superannuation company, despite being told repeatedly that super was only a small part of our overall product offering. They didn't understand us or our offering and the relationship floundered.
Tip: If agencies are asking you a lot of questions that's a good thing. An agency who really wants to understand you, your business and the way you talk to your customers is going to produce better work than an agency that just makes assumptions.
2. Who is the team behind the team?
You will get to meet the directors, the head of content, the head of accounts, the head of everything. You might have a good rapport with them but are they the ones doing the work? Find out who will be working on your business on a day-to-day basis and organise a meet up with them.
Tip: Cultural fit is really important. You're spending a lot of time in partnership with your agency so making sure your team and their team 'fit' is an important step.
3. Compare results
Ask to see actual results from campaigns or projects they've run before. Don't just take their word for it that they're "very successful, with lots of happy clients." See the numbers. What sort of traffic, leads, conversions are they creating?
Tip: Awards are nice but results are better. Ask them for detailed case studies from similar clients and make sure they are willing to set clear metrics to measure their work for you.
3. Do they walk the talk?
If an agency isn't following its own marketing advice then it might be time to walk away. Ask them how they market themselves, what works for them what doesn't work for them, why they chose one method over another. It's always interesting to see how marketing agencies choose to spend their own money.
Tip: Even before engaging with talks with an agency you can get a good feel for how well they market themselves. Is their website user friendly? How often do they blog? What's their social presence like?
4. Which agencies are commitment phobes?
Some agencies can be amazing on the first project. There's a lot of excitement, a lot of love to share and a lot of out of the box idea creation. But after the first, second or third campaign things can become a bit stale. An agency that is in it for the long haul should be able to demonstrate how they keep striving for new ideas and better results.
Tip: Ask for case studies from their long term clients. What was their journey, how did the agency continue to improve of their results?
My final tip: Don't get bamboozled by smoke, mirrors and pricing tables. Price is important, of course, but a good relationship with your agency will always give you more bang for your buck than a fancy diagram.

"The price of freedom is decision"
I'm reading a book by Edward de Bono titled, The Happiness Purpose. In it, he states something that I thought was counter-intuitive:
[T]he price of freedom is decision.
This didn't make sense to me. I can agree that without the ability to decide, there is no freedom, but no freedom UNTIL you decide? I didn't get that.
But as I read statement over a few more times, I began to understand his point.
The price of freedom is making a decision. Yes, making a decision costs you freedom–you've eliminated other options–and that is the price you pay for your freedom. Because if you never make a decision, you never exercise your freedom. It remains in an unactualized limbo, a potential freedom–which is valuable, but incomplete.
Victor Frankl talks about freedom and decision in his famous book Man's Search for Meaning, where he describes maintaining his freedom as a prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp. If I remember right, he wrote about honing in on his locus of control. For Frankl, the locus of control that the Nazis could not touch was his decision on the meaning of events. That was where he found and exercised his freedom. And this illustrates de Bono's point as well. The possible meanings Frankl could choose from were infinite. But it was only in actually deciding on the meaning that he exercised his freedom.
So freedom is a transaction, and the price is a decision.
I find decisions hard to make sometimes. When I feel hesitant, it's usually because I believe if I wait, I'll get more information and be able to make a more informed decision. Unfortunately, I sometimes procrastinate and never make the decision, which I understand now is often a loss of freedom. Of course, not deciding is a decision, too. But other times, I simply wasn't willing to pay the price for my freedom.
Exercising our ability to make decisions is the only way we achieve freedom.

Swirling Combustor Energy Converter: H2/Air Simulations of Separated Chambers
Department of Astronautic, Electrics & Energetics Engineering, University of Rome "La Sapienza" Via Eudossiana 18, Rome 00184, Italy

AbstractThis work reports results related to the "EU-FP7-HRC-Power" project aiming at developing micro-meso hybrid sources of power. One of the goals of the project is to achieve surface temperatures up to more than 1000 K, with a ∆T ≤ 100 K, in order to be compatible with a thermal/electrical conversion by thermo-photovoltaic cells. The authors investigate how to reach that goal adopting swirling chambers integrated in a thermally-conductive and emitting element. The converter consists of a small parallelepiped brick inside two separated swirling meso-combustion chambers, which heat up the parallelepiped, emitting material by the combustion of H2 and air at ambient pressure. The overall dimension is of the order of cm. Nine combustion simulations have been carried out assuming detailed chemistry, several length/diameter ratios (Z/D = 3, 5 and 11) and equivalence ratios (0.4, 0.7 and 1); all are at 400 W of injected chemical power. Among the most important results are the converter surfaces temperatures, the heat loads, provided to the environment, and the chemical efficiency. The high chemical efficiency, h > 99.9%, is due to the relatively long average gas residence time coupled with the fairly good mixing due to the swirl motion and the impinging air/fuel jets that provide heat and radicals to the flame.

I've been living in my new home for 2 weeks now, and loving every minute of it.
I've really looked at this move as a brand new start for me, and so far, I'm pretty pleased with my progress.
Do I still have moments? Of course. Do I still freak out and stress out for little to no reason? Of course. (Yesterday morning, in fact.)
The difference being…over the last 2 weeks, I've stopped dwelling. I've made decisions that allow me to right the situation, or move on.
I have a cold. Today at work, I was walking to the lunch room, and an acquaintance of mine waved at me and asked if I was ok. I said I have a little cold. He said that I looked down, compared to the last couple of weeks.
That astounded me. Is the change THAT noticeable? I mean…I know it is for me. I certainly feel happier. I wonder if some of it is circumstantial, but I don't believe that it is. Take today for example…I feel awful today, physically. I coughed so hard today I pinched a nerve in my back. My throat hurts, and I'm exhausted.
But I'm in a great mood. I'm not going to let a little thing like feeling ill get me down. Not today, anyway.
I'm so grateful that I finally seem to have grasped the concept that I talk about wanting to achieve all the time…could it be…a balance?
I'm sure its not a perfect one, and I know it never will be a perfect one.
I have my days. We all do. But the good news is (lately, at least) that when I have my moods, I don't dwell for days, weeks…etc. I might dwell, yes…I might be sad for a few minutes or even a few hours. But I'm no longer going to allow other people's moods, thoughts, reactions, perceptions etc dictate how I feel about myself. I'm no longer going to let my OWN negativity dictate how I feel about myself. My life is FAR too good to be negative.
This weekend was a whirlwind of activity and emotion. Highs, and sharp drops to the bottom…one point where I felt so lost and confused, I was literally laying limp in my bed. But it didn't last. I allowed myself to cry to a friend, and was comforted. And I let go of the bad that I felt, and embraced everything else…the good. The love. The comfort. The support. The highs were incredible. Indescribable, in fact. Moments of bliss, moments of laughter so hard I had trouble catching my breath…moments of compassion…moments when I felt like I was doing something really amazing for other people…
I love my life right now.
I really do. And the best part is…the only thing that has changed in any dramatic way is my mindset. My DECISION to make every day a good one. My DECISION to look at the great things in my life, and say "fuck off" to the negative things. My DECISION to have a different outlook on situations.
You know how most people can post something and say "I love my life" and its only because something really incredible has happened, but as soon as the smallest negative thing happens, they're all "FML" and "I hate my life." Come on, I know you know…I used to be one of them!
Well guess what kids…something incredible HAS happened. To me, to you…to EVERYONE who is reading this…are you ready to know what it is?
You woke up.
You were given another day to make a difference in your life, and the life of those around you. You were given an opportunity to appreciate the beauty in the world. An opportunity to express your feelings to the one you love. An opportunity to laugh with friends. An opportunity to help someone.
LIFE is something incredible.
wow, I sound like an inspirational infomercial or something.
But its how I feel. I'm so…content! I don't want to say "happy" because that implies something different from what I'm feeling now. I'm happy, yes…but…even when I have a sad moment, like I had about an hour ago…I'm STILL ok with everything. I'm content. I like where my life is headed. I see great things in my present, and great things in my future.
Are we dreaming there are better days to come? No…because they are here. They are now.

Watch how to make this recipe.
For the brine: In a large saucepan, combine the water, vanilla beans and seeds, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and black peppercorns. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the sugar and salt; stir to dissolve. Turn off the heat, and then cool to room temperature (this can take an hour or so; put it in the fridge to hasten the process. Alternatively, you can boil only 4 cups of water and then add 5 cups of ice cubes).
When cool, pour the brining solution into a container large enough for the pork and the solution, such as a disposable aluminum roasting pan. Cover and refrigerate overnight or up to 24 hours.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Pull the pork out of the brine and pat dry with paper towels. Warm the oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until nearly smoking. Add the pork to the pan and brown on all sides, about 15 minutes. Remove to a plate.
Add 2 tablespoons butter to the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Add the apples and celeriac. Season with salt and saute until golden brown. Deglaze with vinegar and 1 cup cider, scraping up any brown bits. Stir in the brown sugar.
Nestle the pork loin in the apples and celeriac and pour enough cider into the pan to keep things from burning on the bottom of the pan, about 1 cup. Transfer the pan to the oven. Roast until a meat thermometer inserted in the center of the loin reads 145 degrees F, about 45 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before carving (pork will continue to cook as it rests).
Meanwhile, return the pan to the stove over medium heat. Finish the sauce by adding in more cider if the pan is too dry. Stir in the remaining butter and the vanilla and black pepper. Taste for seasoning and readjust, if necessary.
Slice the pork into 1/2-inch thick slices. Arrange on the platter with the apples and celeriac. Drizzle the sauce over the meat.

As many of you know, yesterday was NBC/Telemundo's Clear The Shelters event during which 929 adoptions were completed at local participating shelters & rescues, and 17,823 were completed nationwide. TLC completed adoptions of 11 dogs during yesterday's event. We also completed 5 adoptions earlier in the week from people who heard about us through Clear The Shelters promotions, applied and decided to bring their new furbaby home right away.
While we know some people were disappointed that they couldn't just drop in and drive home with the dog of their choice, our goal at TLC isn't just to get the dog out of the shelter, it's to make sure the dog and family are well suited to one another so, when the leave us, they will remain with their family for the rest of their lives.
The most important part of #ClearTheShelters is that it isn't a one-day event, it's a long-term goal which means this is an ongoing process. The homes of volunteers who fostered the dogs that were adopted are now open so we can pull more dogs from shelters and keep them safe until their family is ready to meet them. If you visited us or any of the shelters or other rescues in the area but didn't adopt, keep looking – the right pet for you is out there waiting and so there's no reason to wait for a special event to meet him (or her).
Apollo, now Fred, was adopted yesterday. Fred's new brother & sister couldn't have been more excited to adopt him and talk to our trainers to get on the schedule to take a class and then see where their training journey takes them. We have a feeling we'll stay in touch since they don't live too far from Fred's foster mom and the kids have Mini Paw potential.
Chadley, Cherry (now Luna), Chic (now Chloe), Claudia, Clint, Columbus (now Odin), Jaden (now Jazzy), Jonni, Justice, Nora, Reba, Spencer, Tammy, Tommy, Tori, Vanna, Yance, Yoshi (now Chevy), Urv & Ziva also started their new happy tails this week.
The event wasn't our only news to share this week. We received some updates & pictures of alumni and even enjoyed a visit from Sadie FKA Ivona (who visited her foster family) & Paddy FKA Miles (who took a break from training as a service dog with Main Line Deputy Dog to oversee yesterday's activities)
Macoby FKA Edgar
It has been two weeks of fun, laughter, and craziness in our house but Macoby is the greatest puppy and seems to have settled into his furever home beautifully. In two weeks he has learned to give his paw, lay down, stay, sit to go out the door and sit to come in the door and sits patiently to be fed.. He is 95% housetrained. He is an excitable pee-er though. He has met my daughter's two big dogs and they all romp together, he has also met my son's two little dogs, we are still working on that, they are both a little snippy. He absolutely adores Willow, it took about two days, but they are now inseparable and love to pull rope, wrestle and chew on sticks. We have attached two pictures, as you can see he has grown and he is also sporting his new name tag on the one picture. He sleeps through the night, comfortably in our bed I might add. We will send you more pictures in the future.. We can't thank you enough for allowing us to adopt Macoby.
Sadie FKA Reina
She is doing great and is a very easy going pup. She is fully house trained and actually never had an accident in Mindys house even while training! (I need Mindy to train all my fosters!) She is very laid back and fits in perfectly! Mindy is training her to play frisbee as she is an avid frisbee player and takes her to games to cheer her team on!
Brooklyn FKA Laura
Brooklyn is making the transition from mischievous puppy to a good dog. She loves people, dogs, swimming and fetching a ball thrown in the water. Attached is a picture of Brooklyn and my daughters dog drying off after swimming in the lake.
Sadie FKA Gingersnap (Willow FKA Bindi & Roscoe FKA Elvis's pup)
She is doing amazing!! She is completely house broken. We have gone through puppy training and just completed basic training. Soon we will be starting advanced training and agility. We are most likely going to have her be a therapy dog as well. She loves to swim and run the yard. She herds her toys which I think is hysterical. I keep telling the kids that Sadie cleans up her toys better than they do. We definitely made the right choice with her. She is a perfect addition to our family. She even gets along great with the rabbit and cat. We hope that her siblings are doing just as great as Sadie. Thank you again for getting Sadie into our home.
Dixie FKA Alaska
Just wanted to send you a cute picture of our Dixie ("Alaska"). She's doing great. She loves her "big" brother, Vito (my Cairn Terrier). She is such a good girl and is so sweet, and spoiled rotten!! She loves to play and will go and get her toys and bring them to you. She listens very well and has learned "Come" and a few other commands. She's been with us almost a year and I can't imagine our household without her. She travels with us to go on vacation and has learned that it's ok to go on long car rides to visit grandma. Thanks for making our family complete with our Dixie girl!
Molly is doing very well! She's made herself right at home in our family. She had her wellness visit with the vet and they said everything looks great with her! She has a few simple commands down, so we're really working with her in obeying when she's excited, especially as we are trying to get her and our cat used to one another. We will certainly send pictures and updates!
Just wanted to let you know Lizzie is an adventure! Please tell me where I can find the batteries in her! LOL! This girl is non stop! She is doing well and she is so much fun to watch and play with. Mimi our senior can't be around her too much because Lizzie is a little rough – she just wants to play! Tiki is co-existing with her. He's not "playing" but he's very interested in what she does and where she goes. I think in time he will join in with her. We had a couple of incidents around food that I had to break up but we try to keep them apart at meal time or with treats. Overall Lizzie has adjusted already and loves her new life.

Did you notice that this site was down for a while? Yeah, that was unfortunate…I'm not completely sure what the root cause of it was, but my server got infected, and I had to clean what was probably thousands of files. That may sound like a huge undertaking, but it was mostly just deleting a bunch of files I didn't even need anymore. The biggest problem was finding out why the site was taken down and working with the host to get it taken care of. That took, what, 2 weeks to fix? Geez.
It's always bad to have your site die unexpectedly, but it happened right as I launched Punk Rebel Renegade. It's a collection of songs unheard by pretty much anyone that I recorded 4 years ago. Even though it's old to me, it's just as new to you as Heat Stroke was to anybody. But since it is technically a 2011 album, I didn't want to start a huge hype train for it anyway.
I'm going to talk more about Punk Rebel Renegade in a future post, but I just wanted to announce that robbysuave.com is back, and I'll be working on overhauling the Music page and adding Punk Rebel Renegade to it. I need to figure out how I'm going to organize this site now that there's some content to actually organize. I think I'll have lyrics, download purchase links, etc. all on the Music page instead of having a separate Lyrics page. Maybe I'll add tabs too. Ha.

New World Order Insider Dies After Exposing Entire Agenda.
Source: http://beforeitsnews.com/new-world-or…
How EXACTLY will the New World Order try to FORCE YOU to be part of it? 2016-17 REVIEW BEST EVIDENCE
This is one of the first series I watched back in 2006-07 that helped me see much of what the MSM, and many "truthers" will not address, play dumb with or even deny. This video serves as an introduction to the "basics" of studying the New World Order as the majority is spot on.
I do not agree with some of his historical perspectives but by far his lecture is the most concise and precise. I also do not agree with his end times predictions. Yes we are in the end times but the last days may be many many MANY years off. The only thing that bothers, is that the speaker is part of the SDA church. I do NOT endorse SDA prophesy but I do respect Mr. Veith's research into the jesuits. The information he presents regarding the Vatican's involvement in world events is amazing. That is the only reason for my posting this video.
His timeline is something I do not agree with. I pray for him as we should all pray for each other. We are to test all things and in doing so I must also beg the question: Is Walter Veith, himself part of the plan to "externalize the hierarchy?" Some believe he himself is a jesuit or an agent. I have not seen the proof but I do see the contradictions. I pray for Mr. Veith and hope the fullness of the truth of God's plan manifests itself to all who seek to do His will. Amen

Vendors and service providers are businesses contracted by the University to complete work on one or more of its campuses. These University-contracted providers may apply for permits that authorize parking on University property. All contractor or personal vehicles that are parked on University property must obtain and conspicuously display a parking permit issued by UConn Parking Services. The UConn Project Manager / Coordinator (identified by the applicant on the permit application form) will be contacted to confirm the provider's University affiliation and the demonstrable need for Vendor or Service permit parking.
Five primary parking permit types are available for purchase by these University contracted businesses.
- "Vendor" permits authorize parking within designated "Vendor" parking spaces on all of the University's Regional campuses and are NOT valid on the Storrs campus.
- "Multi-Area" permits authorize parking within designated "Area 1" and "Area 2" employee parking spaces on the Storrs campus AND on all of the University's Regional campuses.
- "Service" permits authorize parking within designated "Service" AND "Vendor" spaces and may be used both at Storrs and all Regional campuses.
- "Day Permits" – Storrs Campus only – Vendors and service providers who park on the University's Storrs campus infrequently may request day parking permits. Day Permits for vendors and service providers are valid only on the Storrs campus and must be purchased in person at the Parking Services office; see bottom of this page for address and office hours. The cost of a Day Permit is $12.00, payable in advance of the permit issuance (cash, check, or credit card).
Those wanting to purchase one or more of the above-mentioned permits should use this Vendor & Service Provider Permit Application Form
Virtual Permit Parking – No physical permit required
"PayByPhone" Vendor vehicle parking – Regional Campuses
Vendors and service providers who occasionally park on one of the University's Regional campuses while completing their contracted work, may pay for their parking sessions using their mobile phone when they arrive to campus and park within a designated space.
Service/Vendor PayByPhone spaces are typically located adjacent to our Service Permit and/or Load Zone parking spaces. The typical parking rate in posted PayByPhone vendor parking locations on the Regional Campuses is $1/hour; rates in some locations may vary but those rates will presented to the user prior to payment. The PayByPhone app is free but you do need to sign up for the service. You will need to provide the license plate number(s) of your vehicle(s) and credit card information during the PayByPhone sign-up process. Follow this link to learn how to sign-up for PayByPhone.
Additional Information…
Parking permits are issued for a fixed term and any associated fees must be paid at the time of permit issuance.
Additional information about vendors and service provider parking is contained within the University's Contractor Parking Policy. A few of its general provisions are provided below for your reference:
Parking permits and their associated parking privileges are specifically issued either to an individual worker or a contractor. Although those parking privileges are for the assigned holder, the physical permits may be moved between vehicles and may be used either by the assigned permit holder or a designee. Any vehicle that does not display a valid parking permit will be subject to ticketing and/or towing at the vehicle owner's expense. Egregious or repeated parking policy violations can also lead to the suspension, withdrawal or withholding of parking permits and privileges at the University's sole discretion. Parking by contractors or workers at the North Garage or South Garage, or overnight parking of personal or contractor vehicles on University property is prohibited, unless previously approved by the University Representative in conjunction with Parking Services.
The "other" University property stipulated within the above quotations includes the University's Regional campuses at Avery Point, Hartford, Stamford, Waterbury, and on the School of Law campus in West Hartford.
Vendor and Service provider parking on the Health Center campus may be arranged by calling (860) 679-4248.
Vendor and Service Vehicle Access Maps for each building the the Storrs campus are also available on this website.
