This book was a good depiction of a Tom Baker Dr. Who story. I thoroughly enjoyed this, especially the build up of suspense. There were, however, a couple of drawbacks to the storyline: the way the creature was explained was done rather haphazardly with not much description, and leela didn't really have much of an active part as her character did in the television program. leela's pairing up with kristal was a good idea, but they should have fed off of each other instead of leela just following kristal around. they were a perfect match but the relationship didn't seem all the strong in the story.
Great atmosphere, but a tad confusing | ||

The Good: The Doctor talks circles around high-ranking military officials and CIA agents.
The Bad: Although the atmosphere is great, the running around bits are a tad confusing.
The Ugly: It's the first time I've seen colourful language in Dr. Who ... and I didn't mind it!

The book begins quite slowly, introducing us to an almost dizzynig number of characters and situations. Stick with it though, as slowly but surely the book brings the characters and situations together until suddenly it accelerates. If this had been a broadcast story, episode 1 would have been plodding, episode 2 slightly less plodding, episode 3 would have seen the pace pick up and episode 4 would have been a rollercoaster ride.
The book has a number of plus points, the main one being the interesting foe that the Doctor ultimately has to deal with. As I said, the pace of the final half of the book really picks up and draws the reader in - so stay with it.
On the negative side - Leela is not well utilised, she spends more time admiring the skills of a Native American tracker than actually doing anything herself; the ending seems rushed and confusing; and the range of characters and situations take too long to converge, sometimes they seem to peter out before we get to the convergence.
However, the pluses outweight the minuses and this is one of the best DW novels I have read in a while. I look foward to reading Simon Forward's other novels for the series.
I loved it, so don't get this wrong | ||

Unfortunately, I liked like this book. That means I'll either sound or feel bad about criticising it. It had a brilliant concept, a brilliant creature (described brilliantly), but only seen on one or two pages. The characters were (althouh good ideas) were described foggily, the events didn't make any logical pattern (except for one or two), and we're still wondering what the hell is going on, and what are people doing. Caught up with lengthy depictions of people travelling, personal struggles, this story ends up like an American show about the government and CIA and top secret info, except without all the excitement. BUT because of sheer stubborness, I continued through with this novel. And hey! it was brilliant. It is only at the end does it pull itself together and pull out a brilliant show. The alien creature is just vivid in some descriptions, and some of the metaphors or sentences the author uses to describe something give them life. In the end, it is saved by fantastic ideas, but is dragged a bit back by a long storytelling. If it had been shorter, this would have been one of my most favourite stories. And I regret writing this because the bad things stand out more than how much (no matter how much I write them) I liked this novel. It just could have been a *bit* better.
P.S. I liked the Doctor getting drunk, though.

"Drift" is a peculiar novel in its mix of good and bad parts. Taking place in New Hampshire on Thanksgiving day sometime around the year 2000, the story places the characters inside a monster snowstorm that contains a monster. The backstory of the main plot comes along in drips and drabs, but basically runs like this. Thirty years prior, a spaceship crashed in the New Hampshire backwoods, dumping an alien couple, male and female and human in every way down to sensitive male parts, on Earth. The few pieces of the crashed ship became the focus point for a Heaven's Gate type alien worshiping cult who set up in an abandoned house nearby. Flash forward thirty years and the military are secretly testing another captured alien device in an airplane. The plane crashes near the previous crash. Unknown to the military, who believe the alien device is a means to manipulate the weather psychically, the device is actually a multi-dimensional navigational instrument that folds dimensions. The weather control is just a side effect. The device has opened a dimension and let in an other-dimensional animal that takes the form of snow crystals arranged like a nervous system. Seeking minds to commune with, the snow creature latches onto humans and destroys them. Into this mix there are several groups to contend with. First, we have The Doctor and Leela, out in the wilderness because The Doctor has forgotten where the TARDIS is. We have the remains of the cultists, most of whom were destroyed when the cult recovered the dimensional drive and opened the portal for the creature. We have the Air Force team sent to recover the device, led by Captain Shaw, who grew up in the town where all this occurs. We have the townspeople, mostly represented by Shaw's older brother, Mackenzie, the local police chief, and his roughly joined family - a woman wronged by her no good first husband and her moody teenage daughter. Most of the novel is concerned with people lost in the snow, getting picked off one by one by the snow creature. There's plenty of family angst as Mackenzie seems to be the good man always doing the wrong thing, disaffected from his brother and barely holding it together with his makeshift family. Most of the early part of the novel is needlessly difficult to get through as the reader gets introduced to several characters, one after the other, with dizzying speed. It becomes particularly hard to keep track of all the military people, even when Forward gives them all unusual names in what seems to be an overdone attempt at American pluralism.
The one part of the novel that stood out to me as "what is this all about?" concerns the remainder of the cult. They are down to three, the leader, his "girlfriend," and a follower, a former thief. The leader lasts for just a couple of chapters. Seeing the device wipe all of his followers from existence drives him over the edge and he gets left behind to die in the snow. The real headscratcher is the girlfriend, Emilie Jacks. She is former military, a tough guy in a woman's body, all muscle and kill instinct. She decides for no particular reason that with the cult done, she must destroy the cult house, beat up or kill everyone who stands in her way, take a hostage, beat her up, kill some more, and abandon her dying cult-mate. Why she does this, what she hopes to accomplish, and why Forward spends so much time on it in the novel never becomes clear. This whole sequence drags the plot rather than progressing it. Another questionable aspect that pops up in other Simon Forward works, such as the Big Finish drama "Dreamtime," is the portrayal of aboriginals, a Native American in this case, as having native psychic powers because they are somehow more in tune with the natural world. This bizarre romanticizing of native peoples is just annoying. Also, everyone wants to drive around in a zero-visibility snowstorm, which seems to be mostly a convenient way for the writer to get the characters separated from each other and thus easier to pick off.
The good parts of the novel are these. It is one of the few Doctor 4 novels that doesn't play The Doctor as all whimsical, scatterbrained, and nonsensical. This Doctor is close to how he was in 1975-6. Leela, too, is portrayed fairly well, not just as a superstitious primitive. The Doctor is not a crusader in this novel, just a guy in the wrong place at the wrong time who realizes he is the only one with the knowledge to rescue the situation. The writing is brisk, without stylistic overkill. The alien menace is interestingly different and believable because the menace is purely accidental. This last aspect is probably the best reason to read "Drift."

Somewhere between soulful jazzy riddims, traditional afrobeat sound and clever songwriting lies Avit, a Ghanaian Afro-Fusion singer merging highly spiritual grooves into music that screams Africa at its finest. Employing a Pan African edge to his music, Avit dances between the most vibrant genres made by Black people worldwide, from reggae, dancehall to afrobeats fused with highlife leaning melodies.
Coming off his politically charged EP titled Election Day, Avit is looking to just slow down and enjoy life. Building up to the release of his latest project on the 25th of June titled Feeling Fine, Avit releases his first single and visual from the tape titled Cantona. Melding an electric house influence on percussion tinged production, Avit crafts an indulgent summery single enlisting Ghanaian beatmaker Kuvie to help engineer this groove to the world.
Cleverly titled after legendary Manchester United footballer Eric Cantona widely known for his powerful goal scoring abilities, Avit wastes no time in communicating to his lady (and listeners) exactly what he's about. Accompanied by steamy one on one visuals that transition into a classic boy meets girl storyline, Cantona's video reminds us all about our renewed hope in 2021 and the ongoing summer of love as millions attempt to return to a reality where they can comfortably share space with their loved ones. Cantona presents the perfect backdrop for fun times, love and unity. With a carefree, cheeky confidence that bounces through simple yet effective lyrics, Avit's Cantona is a feel good record you can't help but feel good with. A feeling we can all get behind after the year we just had. Feel fine with Cantona and pre-add Feeling Fine to anticipate these undeniable vibes.
Watch the visual for Cantona here.
Pre-Add Avit's forthcoming EP, Feeling Fine.

It is great fun to throw the kids for a loop once in a while. Try something really out of the ordinary. The kids love the unexpected. When the normal is, mom cajoling for chores to be done and dad coming home tired from work, it is easy to come up with a shocker. I covered the table with a plastic tablecloth. When it was time for dinner, we called the children. The kicker was my hubby decked out in medieval clothing. I dressed the part too, but my husband outdid himself.
When the children were seated, we slopped a glob of spaghetti on the table in front of them. They had to eat with their hands. For drink they cupped their hands as we poured water into them to slurp. Honestly, we had more fun than the kids. Well, maybe not…those teenagers ate it up .

The sad truth is that many Americans are vastly underprepared when it comes to retirement savings with a 2016 GoBankingRates survey revealing that 33% of Americans have nothing saved for retirement at all and, in total, 56% have less than $10,000 saved. [That begs the question] "How much money does it actually take to retire comfortably?" It seems like one million dollars is the magic number many people think of…but is it really necessary? Could some people could get by in retirement on less?…
The original article has been edited here for length (…) and clarity ([ ]) by munKNEE.com – A Site For Sore Eyes & Inquisitive Minds – to provide a fast & easy read.
Let's explore all the different ways you could live a happy retirement even if you don't amass a million-dollar nest egg.
1. Work part-time
If your nest egg won't stretch far enough for all of your financial needs, a part-time job could help immensely. Not only can the extra income come in handy, but a few hours of work per week can have a positive effect on retirees' mental health, as well as their sense of purpose and social life.
You can choose to work in the same field as you always have or launch a second career, maybe in a field you've always been curious about. Turning a hobby into a business could also be profitable, provided it doesn't require a large financial investment to get off the ground. If you already have the skills and materials needed to get started, it can be a cost-effective and rewarding option to bring in extra income.
2. Wait to take Social Security
If you can live comfortably on your savings early in your retirement, most people should hold off on taking Social Security benefits for as long as they can. The Social Security Administration reports that if you delay receiving retirement benefits until after your full retirement age, your monthly benefit continues to increase. If you can wait until you're 70 (the maximum age for waiting) you can get 132% of your expected payout. Unless your physical health or family history makes you think you will die before your late 70s, it usually makes sense to wait.
This strategy requires patience and frugality, and it may not work for retirees who need their benefits earlier to get by. Before taking this option, make sure you've got the financial means to wait, and that you have no other options for bringing in an alternative source of income. (See also: 6 Smart Ways to Boost Your Social Security Payout Before Retirement)
3. Reduce your housing costs
Housing is one of the largest expenses you'll incur in life. If you can decrease this expense, you could live on a lot less in retirement. One way of doing this is to move into a smaller home or apartment. This could help you eliminate or drastically lower your mortgage payment, as well as minimize other housing costs like utilities, maintenance, and property taxes.
Another option is moving in with friends or family, if they are willing and able to take you in. Sharing a home is becoming increasingly common due to the rising costs of living for not only retirees, but for everyone else. If you don't have friends or family you could bunk with, you could try to find a roommate that could help foot your housing bill. (See also: 6 Ways You Can Cut Costs Right Before You Retire)
4. Invest in a health savings account (HSA)
A health savings account is available to those who have a high deductible health care plan. You contribute pretax dollars into your HSA, and can use those same pretax dollars to cover qualified health care expenses — everything from hearing aids, to X-rays, to bandages.
The best part about this plan is that it can become a helpful part of your retirement savings when you turn 65. At this point, your HSA basically becomes a traditional IRA. You can withdraw the funds for anything — health care related or not — to help supplement your retirement income. Funds withdrawn for qualified medical expenses will continue to be tax-free, while nonmedical withdrawals will be taxed as ordinary income. (See also: How an HSA Could Help Your Retirement)
5. Consider relocating to a low-cost country
The number of American expats abroad is very surprising. The U.S. Department of State estimates that as many as 9 million citizens live overseas. There's a reason so many Americans are choosing to live out their golden years abroad; moving to a country with a lower cost of living means that their retirement dollars are stretching a lot further.
In lower cost of living countries, you will see steep savings on housing, food, and even health care. Many people can also afford inexpensive help from locals to assist in tasks like cooking, cleaning, and running errands.
What's more is that many of these countries have beachfront properties and communities that are affordable even for the non-millionaire retiree. Though you may be leaving friends and family behind, the good news is that they may be more likely to visit you if there's a beach involved. (See also:

6. Invest in cash producing assets
If you don't have one million dollars in cash, you might be able to make up the balance with other assets like real estate, stocks, or a small business. All of these assets have the potential to add another stream of income for you in retirement.
Real estate can be an excellent source of cash flow if you are able to charge rents that exceed expenses for your property. If you own dividend-yielding stocks, the income from dividend payouts can also boost your bottom line. Finally, if you have an interest in a business that is profitable, you could retire on less than $1 million with a moderate amount of monthly net income. (See also:

How to set to 30 Grams of carbs.
i started with "rigorous keto" at 20 carbs and started losing too much weight so wanted to up my carbs a bit, but the next option is "moderate keto" and jumps to 40 carbs. I want to inch up and go to 30. Is there a way to do this?
@Frahnseen you can set the Keto Calculator as Custom! Simply choose custom from the drop-down menu, then enter your desired number for carbs. Learn more in the user manual: https://cronometer.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018825091-Keto-Calculator#h_104898397521545177542844

Thanks for the info Hilary. Then will it set my protein and fat and kcals for me in the proper amounts? Or do I have to calculate those. I wouldn't know how to do that. I read the article you suggested but it didn't really have what I needed.
You can use the default values of the rigorous or moderate, and then edit the carb value only in the custom option. I'd recommend talking to a health care professional to determine the correct target values for you if you aren't sure.

To fix heel slippage in leather boots, make sure you get the correct size of boots, tighten your laces, or wear non-slip socks. If these methods don't work, there are plenty more to try.
Heel slipping is an annoying experience that not only compromises your comfort but can also embarrass you. But don't let this ruin your experience with your new leather boots. When your feet slip out of your boots for more than a week, you should find out how to fix heel slippage in boots.
We have compiled a couple of handy tips to help you prevent heel slippage in leather boots. Before we can look at each of them, it's crucial to understand the real cause of heel slippage in boots.
Here's a snapshot of ways to fix heel slippage in your boots:
- Get the right size.
- Tighten your laces.
- Wear liners or non-slip socks.
- Use several pairs of socks.
- Use a tongue pad or heel liner cushions.
- Adjust your walking style.
- Use double-sided tape.
- Hairspray might help.
What Causes Heel Slippage?
There are various causes of heel slippage. But the main one is extra-large or stiff footwear. If you are walking in stiff leather boots, the flex point will bend the foot. Generally, this is not a big issue, as the movement usually decreases after a few days.
So, before trying to fix the situation, wear your boots for at least a week. If the issue persists or you want to cope with the situation as you wait for the breaking-in period of the boots to end, then read on for tips on how to fix heel slippage in leather boots.
How To Fix the Heel Slippage in Boots
Method 1: Buy the Right Size
This seems pretty obvious, doesn't it? Well, it's perhaps the best way to avoid the pain of heel slippage. In most cases, heel slippage occurs because you wear boots that are a size too big for your feet.
To find out your proper shoe size, you can simply measure the width and length of each foot. Also, keep in mind that the size of your foot might change with time. Try to measure them at the end of the day when your feet are at their largest size.
Granted, you're not always guaranteed to buy the right size of boots. Sometimes, you may have very wide feet that might require larger and shorter leather boots. Always check for brands that offer various widths outside the normal range.
If you have the right boot size but still struggle with heel slippage, your next line of correction is the laces.
Method 2: Lace Locking
Tightening the laces of your leather boots should keep your heel in the right place. Not only do they need to be tied tightly, but they need to be tied securely. Try a specialized lace knot to ensure your lace locks your heel in place. Here's some ideas to try:
- Heel lock.
- Surgeon knot.
- Runner's tie.
- Rabbit hole lacing.
- Lace anchors.
Method 3: Wear Liners or Non-Slip Socks
Most socks usually have a smoother outer surface. Non-slip socks, on the other hand, have rugged ridges on the bottom.
They are popular with folks who prefer walking shoeless across hard surfaces. But you can also use non-slip socks to increase the grip within your boots, thus keeping the foot in its place.
Besides non-slip socks, you can also try non-slip insoles. Boots with non-slip liners are usually more effective at controlling heel slippage than shoes with regular insoles.
These insoles grasp your feet firmly into the shoes, thus, preventing them from slipping out of the boots. In most cases, non-slip insoles come with a lining on the back. The lining cushions the heels as well as preventing them from slipping out.
Some work boots come fitted with non-slip liners. But if yours don't have these liners, you can purchase them separately.
Method 4: Use Several Pairs of Socks
Did you know that one can put on more pairs of socks to reduce heel slippage in leather boots? People usually apply this hack before they can find permanent solutions to fix heel slippage problems.
The additional pair of socks will compensate for the extra space between the foot and the heel. These extra pairs might also come in handy during cold weather, as they keep your feet warm.
For some people, wearing several socks in leather boots is a challenge. If you are one of them, then you can invest in a pair of thicker socks.
The texture and thickness will hold the feet tightly to the boots. In some cases, your leather boots may have stretched, so you need to add some girth to the feet to fill up the empty space in the boots.
Method 5: Use a Tongue Pad or a Heel Liner Cushion
Do you have one foot that is slightly smaller than the other? Well, you can use a pad to fill the boots. Some clowns use this trick to keep their ridiculously large shoes from slipping off.
Stuffing your work boots with padding is generally cheap. All you need is a very thin rag or toilet paper. While you may want to try these paddings, tongue pads are usually ideal for heel slippage in leather boots. Moreover, they are relatively inexpensive and can fit most footwear.
These adhesive-backed accessories come with a padded foam that fits on the tongue of your boots. When fitted properly, tongue pads will tighten the heel to stay secure inside the heel counter area of the boots. You will no doubt enjoy them because they will increase your comfort levels.
If you're not a fan of tongue pads, you can try other cushions such as heel liner cushions or heel grips. These accessories come in soft leather, which presses on your feet to stay in contact with the heel area.
Method 6: Adjust Your Walking Style
If you're a fan of The Simpsons, then you'll remember how Bart Simpson taught Lisa to walk using the heel-toe method without breaking the heels. The moral of the story is that you should know how to walk on your heel.
That aside, the way you walk can cause heel slippage. This problem often arises when you walk using the ball of the foot first. So, always try to touch the ground on your heels before the rest of the feet.
Method 7: Double-Sided Tape
If you're looking for just a stopgap measure to fix heel slippage in leather boots, then double-sided tape may help. It's not only quick, but it's also a cheap way to fix the issue.
In fact, most celebrities use double-sided tape when walking the red carpet. Simply place a couple of pieces of double-sided tape on your heel or socks to make the boots stick to it.
This might inspire you to carry some double-sided tape around with you during your boot breaking-in period. But keep in mind that the tape will come loose when your feet sweat. This means that you have to make adjustments occasionally.
Method 8: Hairspray Might Help
Just like the double-sided tape, applying some hairspray is a temporary fix for heel slippage in leather boots, and will serve you for a short period. But the good thing is that it's cheap and easy to find. Before wearing your leather boots, spray your feet or socks with hairspray, which will make them sticky.
Once again, this strategy will lose its effectiveness if your feet tend to get sweaty. You may also experience some abrasion if you use it for a long time, so think of it as a quick fix that will solve a day's challenge.
Should Your Boot Size Be the Same as Shoe Size?
Boots sizes are not necessarily the same as shoe sizes. The difference is caused by a number of factors, such as the origin of the boots and the manufacturer of the boots. Sometimes, the style of the boots may also cause confusion. That is why it is important to try before you buy.
How Much Heel Slippage Is Considered Normal?
For the most part, heel slippage in leather boots is normal, especially in the first few weeks. But your heel shouldn't pass a half an inch in the boots, and it shouldn't last longer than a few weeks—then you have a problem.
How Can I Know if My Boots Are Too Loose or Too Tight?
To know whether leather boots are too loose or too tight, you should note how your feet slide into them. Do you feel any sense of resistance or do you feel it is too loose? Once you have put on your boots, lace them up and try walking for a few minutes. From here, you can rely on your instinct.
Final Words
Heel slippage is an intolerable problem. While heel slippage may be a being issue, it's not impossible to rectify or prevent it. Don't let heel slippage ruin your day.
In any case, you should walk as naturally as possible in your boots with minimal effort. Understanding how to fix heel slippage in boots will brighten your walking experience.
In short, you should:
- Buy boots of the right size.
- Try lace tightening options.
- Change your walking style.
- If other options fail, move to paid options such as non-slip socks, tongue pads, and other cushions.
Hopefully, these tips will help you reduce the pain of heel slippage in your leather boots. The good thing is that these hacks are economical and practical.

You can create up to 100 enabled or paused Smart Shopping campaigns in your Google Ads account. For the best performance, Google recommends consolidating your Smart Shopping campaigns where possible.
In Europe, Smart Shopping campaigns can be used with any Comparison Shopping Service (CSS) that you work with. The ads will show on general search results pages and on any other surfaces that the CSS has opted in to.
Get the most out of your Smart Shopping campaigns
Use remarketing lists
It's a best practice to use remarketing lists with your Smart Shopping campaigns, and to continually add new people to those lists. To ensure the best coverage for your ads, it's important to have more than 100 active users or visitors within the last 30 days and a new user in the last two days.
Track conversions
Smart Shopping campaigns use conversion tracking of events such as online purchases (preferred source of conversion events), signups, purchases from phone calls and shop visits. They automatically maximise conversion value for the daily budget that you set. Learn more about optimising Smart Shopping campaigns
- You can create Smart Shopping campaigns without conversion tracking, but your campaigns may be limited in spend.
- You can run existing Smart Shopping campaigns without meeting conversion tracking or remarketing requirements, but their ability to spend may be limited.

Click the report that you'd like to review from the 'Shopping' drop-down menu.
Typical reporting, like clicks, conversions and impressions, is also available.
For Smart Shopping campaigns, reporting metrics can be different for the 'Product groups' tab when compared to the 'Campaign', 'Ad group' or 'Ads' tabs. This is because the 'Product groups' tab can only report on product-level data.
- For example, when a Shopping ad shows many products in an individual ad slot, each product will collect an impression. However, the campaign, ad group and ad recognise that only a single ad was showing and will count it as one impression.
Integrate with third-party platforms
- Create and manage Smart Shopping campaigns with Shopify, WooCommerce and GoDaddy.
- Create and manage Smart Shopping campaigns with Loja Integrada (Brazil only).

How Is Child Custody Addressed in a Same-Sex Divorce?
Since 2014, same-sex marriage has been legal in Wisconsin, and LGBTQ couples have the same rights as opposite-sex husbands and wives. These rights also extend to divorce, and if a same-sex couple chooses to end their marriage, each spouse's rights will be protected when addressing issues such as property division and spousal support. Same-sex parents will also usually have the right to share child custody. However, there are some complications that may arise in these cases, and LGBTQ parents should be aware of how these matters may be handled when they get divorced or when partners break up.
Issues Related to Child Custody in an LGBTQ Divorce
Wolf v. Walker, the Wisconsin Supreme Court case that legalized same-sex marriage, made it clear that when the state's laws refer to a "husband and wife," this also includes same-sex couples. This means that same-sex parents will share the same rights toward children as opposite-sex parents. This may become an issue when determining paternity for a child. If a child is born to a mother who is legally married, her spouse will be recognized as the child's parent, regardless of that spouse's sex. This will ensure that a same-sex spouse will have parental rights if the parents get divorced, even if the spouse is not the child's biological parent.
The same is true for same-sex parents who adopt a child together. In these cases, both members of a couple will be the child's legal parents. If the couple gets divorced or splits up, they will address child custody in the same manner as opposite-sex parents. The decisions in these cases will be based on what is in the child's best interests. Parents will typically share legal custody of their children, giving them both the right to participate in decisions about how the children will be raised. Physical placement will be divided between the parents, and children will usually spend time living with each parent regularly. Both parents will also be required to support their children financially, and child support will usually be paid by one parent to the other.
While most child custody cases will be straightforward, with each parent having equal parental rights, cases can sometimes become complicated if one spouse is not a child's legal parent. This may occur if a parent had a child from a previous relationship when they got married to a same-sex spouse or if only one parent adopted a child. If the other parent had not adopted the child after getting married, they will not be recognized as the child's legal parent, and they may have no right to share in child custody. While parents may still be able to work out a custody agreement in these cases, disagreements about these issues may be difficult to resolve, and a person who is not a child's legal parent may struggle to maintain a relationship with the child.
Contact Our Milwaukee LGBTQ Child Custody Attorneys
If you have questions about how to address child custody during a same-sex divorce, or if you want to take steps to protect your parental rights before divorce becomes an issue, the attorneys of Gimbel, Reilly, Guerin & Brown, LLP can provide you with the legal help you need. To get representation in a divorce or child custody case, contact our Milwaukee, WI LGBTQ family law attorneys at 414-271-1440.

Just Ballin'
By Mike Wise and Frank Isola
The 1999 Knicks were an interesting team. They traded veteran leader
Charles Oakley for young, talented, yet disappointing Marcus Camby. They
took a big risk in signing Latrell Sprewell after he served a suspension for
choking his coach at Golden State. And just when it seemed the team would
fall apart after Patrick Ewing's injury became more and more apparent that he
would miss the season, and coach Jeff Van Gundy would be fired (while the team
was secretly interviewing Phil Jackson), they came together for an improbable
playoff run. This book tells the details.
It is similar in scope to The Franchise, just not as detailed (and not as good), but it is a quality read.

Good morning! I don't know about you, but it feels like last Monday was 2 days ago!
Last week went by so fast! Did you have a good week? We finalized our flooring, spent a lot of time browsing for lights and really worked with Nora on her therapy (we have a big appointment today).
What do you have happening this week?
Here are my 5 Things I Love from last week:
**Some of the links in this post are my referral links. When you order a product through this link it may result in a small commission, which helps me pay the cost of running this site, but does not add any additional cost to you. Thank you for your support of my site and for supporting my family! You can read my disclosure policy here.
1. The main floor of our house is painted!
I get really nervous choosing paint colors. They never seem to look like the swatches when they are on the wall and 50% of the time I'm disappointed. Not this time! I am so thrilled with the colors we chose!
2. A new author to me…Holley Gerth!
I know, where have I been? I had an amazon gift card that I wanted to use up so I bought myself 2 new treats: You're Made for a God-Sized Dream: Opening the Door to All God Has for You and You're Loved No Matter What: Freeing Your Heart from the Need to Be Perfect. All of Holley's books get exceptional reviews and I can't wait to dive in!
3. Holiday Candy!
My love affair with chocolate peaks each holiday when Reese's comes out with peanut butter pumpkins, Snicker's Easter eggs, and Starburst jelly beans (not chocolate, still yummy)!
4. Sports!
Maddie had her first junior high volleyball game last week. It was so fun watching her play and see how much her class has improved from last year.
5. Mason jar lights!
I've looked all over for lights. I'm leaning towards Mason jar lights for my kitchen island. They aren't the brightest but we put in a lot of canned lights so I think they'd work. Do any of you have Mason jar lights in your kitchen?
Life is never dull at my house! What did you love last week?

In Toronto you can get your basic hot dog fix on practically any street corner at any time- day or night. Despite the array of run-of-the-mill ketchup, mustard, relish, and condiments, it won't be long before you're likely going to go searching for more. And you'll find it with Fancy Franks.
Answering all Torontonian's frustrating hot dog conundrum is the gourmet hotdog shop Fancy Franks. I've written about this place before but I just had to share my experience with their new playful Fall menu. With toppings ranging from spaghetti and meatballs to huevos rancheros, everyone can find a dog they'd like to chow down on at Franks.
Now, we all know hot dogs are always a bit of an indulgence, but it's nice to know Fancy Franks wieners are made of 100% beef and lamb casing and are provided by a local Toronto butcher. The buns and toppings are all fresh and local as well, making this this more of a haute-dog than what you get on the street. That may not spare you the calories but at least you know the ingredients are of the highest quality!
The interior of the small restaurant is certainly conducive to letting loose. Décor is vintage and whimsical, with bright-lighted signs, abstract wall murals and one huge picnic table for family style dining. The open space makes the atmosphere young and fun, perfect for the late night, post-bar crowd. Because let's be honest with ourselves- spaghetti and meatballs on a hotdog is interesting and surely tasty when you're sober, but way more exciting after a few pints.
If you're not in the market for a hot dog, your options are slightly limited. You can, however, get a salad, soup or chili and wash it all down with a creamy milkshake. And speaking of options, check out Frank's gourmet toppings and unusual flavour combos!
Fancy Franks Food
Frankie Goes to Buffalo
Panko Fried Weiner, Chicken Bacon, Carrots, Celery, Blue Cheese Dressing and Buffalo Wing Sauce
So-so-good – if you closed your eyes you could swear you were eating a real chicken wing!
Frankie Wanna Meatball
Beef Hotdog, Spaghetti, Meatballs, Parmesan Cheese
Beware: this dog requires some serious napkins. Succulent and meaty but definitely not first-date worthy.
Franko Y Huevos
Chopped Beef Hotdog, Chorizo, Grilled Peppers, Scrambled Eggs
While I did like the taste of this one, I found to mouthfeel to be a bit offputting – I'm admittedly not a scrambled egg girl so the combination of that texture on the snappy wiener was probably just not for me.
Fancy Schmancy Poutine
Fries, Cheese Curds, Beef Gravy, Beef Ribs, Grilled Onions, Fried Eggs, Scallions
Loved the salty bursts of beef ribs with the creamy luscious yolk. So decadent!
Porker Poutine
Fresh Cut Fries, Cheese Curds, Beef Gravy, Bacon, Grilled Onions, Fried Eggs, Green Onions
Same deal but with salty bacon- how could this be bad?
Mini Donuts
Chocolate and Vanilla
Addicting, light as a feather donuts that came straight out of the fryer- there's not much better than that!
So if you're looking for a twist on a ballpark classic, look no further than Fancy Franks. With two locations on Bloor West and College street and plenty of gourmet grub to choose from, that next hot dog craving (come on, everyone has them once in a while) can be quickly satisfied by Franks!
Disclaimer: The preceding meal was complimentary, however, as always, all opinions are genuine.

This very unusual surname is perhaps surprisingly, Scottish. It is locational from an area known as Girdwood at Carnwath, in the county of Lanarkshire, and in the former ancient kingdom of Strathclyde. The place name meaning is probably 'gravel wood' from the pre 7th century Olde English 'greot wudu', but this is partly speculation, as no absolute proof is known to exist. The surname is believed to be first recorded in the 16th century when James Girdvod was a member of a land ownership inquest at Carnwath in 1524.
Later recordings include those of David Girwood of Kerse, also in Carnwath in 1622, whilst Adam Girdwood is given as being a shoemaker in Edinburgh in 1657. Many Scottish locational surnames are quite specific in that they are named from ownership or even tenantship, of a particular piece of land. This need only be a small holding or farm, and not as in England, an estate. In this case the nameholders appear to have had a heriditary holding of the lands of Girwood until late in the 17th century, or possibly into the 18th. Thereafter the name was associated with the church in Pencuik, where various related nameholders were minsters.© Copyright: Name Origin Research 1980 - 2024

You are pointed toward the Place Charles de Gaulle and its centerpiece, the Arc de Triomphe; The avenue on your left is the wide and handsome Champs Elysees, one of the world's most beautiful and fashionable streets.
The Arc de Triomphe was planned by Napoleon to commemorate the successes of his armies. Actual construction took place between 1806 and 1836. The monument stands 162 feet high and is 147 feet wide.
Under the vault of the arch is France's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier of World War I, topped by the Eternal Flame. The design was inspired by Roman triumphal arches and includes reliefs celebrating Napoleon's victories. A dozen wide, tree-lined streets radiate from the Place Charles de Gaulle, and the top of the Arc de Triomphe provides a sweeping view of them.
You can fly so as to keep the monument to your left or right, taking side views as pass by. Or, you can attempt to fly through the arch. Take your choice, but in any event watch your altitude because the Place Charles de Gaulle is about 545 feet above sea level.

One time when I was in eighth grade there was a fight on the playground between a scrawny chippy boy and a stocky arrogant boy. The scrawny boy was made of nothing but piss and wire, but he was furious and he held his own for a while. We crowded around cheering when the fight started, but when the thicker boy began to land actual sickening punches, we went quiet and just watched.
The scrawny boy had hair that went every which way and the other boy had neat hair combed just so. The stocky boy was cool and the girls liked him and his green school tie was always artfully undone. Even when Sister Marie told him to knot it properly and loomed over him as he did so, he deliberately did not do so properly. He was the first person who taught me what the work smirk meant.
He smashed the skinny boy's ear and the skinny boy went down.
The skinny boy sometimes wore ragged socks of different colors. Also he smelled bad. We crowded closer. The stocky boy paused to catch his breath and then against all rules he kicked the skinny boy in the ribs! One or two boys said, Hey! but no one moved. The skinny boy jumped up incandescently angry and swung at the stocky boy and instantly the skinny boy went down again and this time a boy named Michael stepped out of the crowd. Michael was not cool and not a geek and not an athlete and not a star student. Michael was just Michael. Michael was one of the handful of boys you could not assign to a category. Some boys you can easily assign to a category and some boys belong to several and some just sit in the back and all you know is his name. Michael was one of those boys. Michael's parents were, no kidding, actual emigrants from Italy who spoke actual Italian in their house according to two boys who had to deliver homework to Michael once when he was sick. Sister Marie made them do it because they lived closest to Michael. One of the boys said there was a goat in the tool shed behind Michael's house. Michael's father was in the Nocturnal Adoration Society with my father and my father said that he was a kindly man who was penurious with small talk.
The stocky boy tried to close on the scrawny boy, but Michael put up both his hands, I think to fend off further unrest, to deflect further tumult, but just as he did so Sister Marie arrived in the circle, spitting angry, because she had just the day before repeated for the hundredth time that there was to be absolutely no fighting whatsoever at the school, including the playground and especially including the churchyard and the convent lawn, and had she not made it absolutely inarguably clear that all combatants in any further conflict would pay heavily for the crime, had she not just made this abundantly clear just yesterday?
No one moved. She was so angry that her face was a dusky purplish color. Every single boy who stood here and watched and witnessed this fight and did nothing whatsoever to stop it, said Sister Marie, despite my explicit instructions yesterday, earns two hours of detention today. No excuses. You, she said, pointing to a gangly nervous boy named David, will take this boy to the nurse's office. Tell the nurse to pay special attention to his ear. And you and you, she said, pointing to the cool boy and to Michael, you will come with me to the principal's office.
And off we all went, still silent. The scrawny boy was crying now from rage and pain and humiliation and something else. I have spent years now thinking of the hundred reasons he cried so. There's so much pain and so many layers of pain. I remember that the gangly boy kept the scrawny boy at arm's length, as if he was sick. We heard later that the stocky boy blamed Michael for starting the fight, and that the principal believed the stocky boy, and that Michael apparently had not testified on his own behalf, but had just stood there silently, not defending his own motives, not telling the truth, not even calling the stocky boy a liar, the stocky boy who had smiled widely as he picked on the scrawny kid about his ragged socks and his bad smell until the scrawny boy had screamed and ran windmilling at his abuser. We heard that Michael was nearly suspended from school and that his parents had to come and listen to the principal for more than an hour. As it was, Michael served detention for an entire week, cleaning every blackboard in the school every afternoon. For the first few days of his detention, no one asked Michael directly about what had happened in the principal's office and why he let a lie win. On the last day of his detention, Friday afternoon, a few of us stayed in the playground playing basketball until he was released, and a boy named Tom who could talk to anyone asked him why he didn't insist on what had actually happened, and Michael said there wasn't much to say, so we chose up sides and played basketball for another hour or so. That night when I told my father about this whole thing, he said quietly There is an admirable young man, a remark I thought about for a long time, and still do, as you see.

City officials unveiled a plan today to turn thousands of the city's pay phones, which currently function mainly as urinals, into free WiFi hotspots. In order to test out the program, they've installed ten initial hubs—seven in Manhattan, two in Brooklyn, and one in Queens. "Within 12 months, we could have the city blanketed in WiFi," said an executive at Van Wagner, the pay phone operator providing the service. Everyone agrees that WiFi hotspots are preferable to Mayor Bloomberg's plan of turning pay phone kiosks into single-occupancy residences. BOOM! Got you, Bloomberg. [DNAinfo]

There may be an age group which, in the intervening time, should look somewhat grey, that of the 65/75 years. Too younger to be vaccinated with the Pfizer / BioNTech serum, too outdated to be vaccinated by Astra Zeneca, which isn't beneficial for over 65s.
Out of the blue, the opening at the moment of latest niches (almost 6,000) within the Excursions vaccination facilities won't change something. Not more than the likelihood quickly provided to liberal docs to have the ability to vaccinate instantly of their places of work.
We'll inform our sufferers that we're doing what we will – Christophe Génies
Christophe Génies is nicely conscious of this, however he can't do a lot. The vice-president of the Council of the Order of Physicians of Indre-et-Loire can be a basic practitioner in Saint-Cyr-sur-Loire. _"We're confronted with the supply of those vaccines by laboratories_. So long as they don't have sufficiently concrete manufacturing traces to supply numerous vaccines, we're depending on this distribution ".
He reminds that individuals between 65 and 75 years outdated can nonetheless be vaccinated by Pfizer / BioNTech if they're thought of a precedence, that's to say liable to creating a really severe type of Covid-19.
Type sufferers?
Christophe Génies will due to this fact should handle this hiatus. Additionally handle a form of sorting between his sufferers, since every physician in Excursions ought to solely obtain ten doses of Astra Zeneca vaccine per week. "It should be a merciless dilemma. Perhaps we are going to favor dangerous kinds, diabetics, hypertension. I feel that is how we'll work. We have now no alternative. It is a form of sorting ".

Because of Ukraine, Russia is moving ships to the Black Sea
PARIS, (BM) – Earlier this month, and as tensions escalate on the Russian-Ukrainian border, the Russian Defense Ministry kicked off a period of "combat readiness checking and monitoring."
In this context, on April 8, the southern military region of the Russian armed forces announced that, from the Makhachkala naval base, the Caspian fleet would transfer ten boats to the Black Sea fleet, however already well endowed, learned BulgarianMilitary.com citing mil.ru and opex360.
Also, in detail, it is a question of transferring landing craft as well as gunboats. The type of boats to be shared has not been specified. But it is assumed that they will take the Volga-Don Canal, which connects the Caspian Sea to that of Azov [and therefore the Black Sea], their dimensions will have to be reduced.
The Caspian fleet has seven landing craft, including six of the "Serna" class, each weighing around one hundred tonnes at full load and one of the "Shark" type. The same fleet has well as five gunboats, including four of the "Schmel" type, displaying a displacement of 70 tons and equipped with a 76 mm gun, three machine guns, a BM-14 rocket launcher, and the ability to lay mines. It also has a "Zhuk" class patrol boat classified as "artillery boats," armed with two 12.7mm machine guns.
The Black Sea fleet is equipped with five landing craft [including two of the Serma class, two of the Shark class, and one of the BK-16 type, used by the special forces]. But it also has seven "large landing ships" of the old design.
In any event, such a maneuver is not unprecedented. In May 2018, the Caspian fleet had indeed transferred five of its boats to that of the Black Sea. At the time, the Russian authorities presented this decision as being necessary to guard against a Ukrainian attack on Crimea, as tensions mounted over the Kerch Strait, which separates the Sea of Azov from the Black Sea.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, following this transfer, the ten boats of the Caspian flotilla will participate in exercises which, carried out in cooperation with the Black Sea fleet, will aim to test "the ability to push back naval and airborne assault forces."
Russia is urgently moving S-400 missile systems to Crimea
Russian media report that Moscow has started hastily transporting and deploying its anti-aircraft missile systems in Crimea, BulgarianMilitary.com has learned. According to the Russian portal Aviapro, Moscow has already deployed several systems in the northern part of the peninsula.
Sources claim that Russia delivered the new S-300 and S-400 in Crimea from other parts of Russia, and according to them, some of the systems have a short range of operation. Photos of the transportation of anti-aircraft missile systems in the Voronezh region around the border with the Luhansk region in Ukraine have been spread on social media.
Analysts note that there has been an increased Russian military presence on the border between Russia and Ukraine in recent days. They do not rule out that the transferred anti-aircraft systems will cover the airspace over Crimea and the area known as the Luhansk People's Republic.
Military, political scientists claim that Ukrainian hostilities in the Luhansk People's Republic can begin at any moment, pending only the decree of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky.
What is happening?
On April 1, Russia began locating a lot of Russian weapons on the border with Ukraine. The Belarusian side noticed similar actions. A Ukrainian journalist was the first to film the movement of military convoys.
The revelation forced the Kremlin to explain after the public learned about what was happening. "The Russian Federation is moving troops within its territory at its discretion; this should not bother anyone; it does not pose a threat to anyone," said presidency spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
According to him, the Russian Federation is taking the necessary measures to ensure its borders 'security. "You know that along the perimeter of the borders of the Russian Federation; there is increased activity of the armed forces of NATO countries, other associations, individual governments, etc., etc. All this obliges you to be vigilant," Peskov stressed.
"As for the participation of Russian troops in the armed conflict on the territory of Ukraine, Russian troops have never participated in it and do not participate in it. This is a highly internal Ukrainian conflict, and we, European countries, other countries would not want armed forces of Ukraine, the civil war in Ukraine flared up again," said Peskov.
The United States has said it will support Ukraine
US and Ukrainian defense ministers Lloyd Austin and Andriy Taran discussed the situation in Donbas. The US minister assured his Ukrainian counterpart of his readiness to support Kyiv in an "escalation of Russian aggression." The Ukrainian defense ministry website published this statement on its website on Thursday.
"Lloyd Austin expressed concern over the Russian Federation's recent actions and conveyed to the Minister of Defense of Ukraine his assurances of his readiness to support Ukraine in the face of the ongoing Russian aggression in Donbas and Crimea. Realization of aggressive aspirations of the Russian Federation in Ukraine" said in a statement.
Taran informed the interlocutor about the military-political situation along the demarcation line with the territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, which are not under the control of Kyiv and in Crimea and around the state border of Ukraine.
