It gets dark and soon gets light again but thanks for the thousand dollars for a room to stay here to watch nothing whatsoever happen. I'll get half the buzz at sundown and it won't cost anything.

"Game of Thrones"
It's "The Sopranos" with costumes and sword fights but I still don't know or care who killed JR.
Ed: JR was in "Dallas"
Yah, another Game of Thrones of sorts.
Ed: it also has a lot of sex
So I hear and I suppose it probably would given the audience almost all of whom probably eat a pizza while they watch but none of them have any sex.
Ed: they're all wasted
Sure, Doctor's Little Helper plus a little drinkie and they're off to Toontown on skateboards.
It doesn't matter who's doing it, who is with that person while doing it, or how much silicone it took to make it all happen. The Rockhouse doesn't reject sex but we reject altogether people who talk about it incessantly and we specifically reject the cockteasers who act like they're giving it away to the first one who Tweets. Twitter is loaded with them so Instagram must be a laff riot.
Caitlyn Jenner
When she started spouting her inane version of Republicanism, suddenly she wasn't the hipster role model anymore. Killing someone didn't help much either. She does get a consolation prize, however, since few have managed to go so fast from cover girl to criminal.
Rich People's Houses
After we have seen one mansion we have seen them all but we saw the perfect one for Taylor Swift since it's more expensive than any other property in the country. (Variety: Jerry Perenchio's Epic Bel Air Estate Comes to Market With $350 Million Price Tag)
Note: it's the same one used to stage "The Beverly Hillbillies."
Rich people in general
Oprah is coming out with a line of some kind of food. She'll be cast as a modern-day Aunt Jemima faster than some redneck can wave a Confederate flag and she sets herself up for it because ... richness? We don't give a fuck; it's just an observation.
Ever in any form
Ford hot rods
The trademark Mustang exhaust note was cool ... until they engineered it for every damn car they make and it's so canned there's a switch to turn it on / off.
Do you hear Camaros with this incessant noise? Nooooooo.
Extreme stunts
Some fool jumped off a 22,000-foot mountain some days ago to use a wing suit to fly back down. Asked why he didn't just use a drone, he shrugged and said, "I'm rich and really don't have that much to do."
At 22,000-feet, he must have needed oxygen during the first part.
Sword fights and martial arts
Surely there's a limit to how many times people can watch other people kicking the shit out of each other and we have passed it.

: "Let's be Real Here"? A Retort to FEC Commissioner Weintraub
Let's be really real here. "Multimillionaires and billionaires" are among the few who can afford to retain lawyers and accountants to comply with or circumvent (that is, creatively comply with) "disclosure" regulations. While claiming to represent the will of the people in her statement of reasons (an interesting position for an unelected bureaucrat), Commissioner Weintraub sits on a commission (now longer than any current commissioner) that for far too long has served as the speech police, strangling small groups like Free Speech in red tape, punishing grassroots candidates like Sekhon and drawing a road map for state commissions that want to go after bloggers like Bailey who spend next to no money at all. "Reformers" can count Commissioner Weintraub as their staunch, unwavering ally in the disclosure debate. But for anyone claiming she's standing up for democracy, allow me to retort: save it for the tourists.

Payments giant Mastercard has been told by The European Commission to slash the cross-border fees on credit and debit card transactions.
The Commission said that the fees unfairly inflated retailers'costs when shoppers used cards in foreign nations and declared if Mastercard did not get rid of the fees within six months, then it would levy daily fines worth up to 3.5% of global turnover.
The European Commission said that for 15 years MasterCard's multilateral interchange fee (MIF) on cross-border payment card transactions with MasterCard and Maestro cards broke EU rules aimed a stamping out restrictive business practices.
Mastercard controls about 45% of the European payments card market and about 85% of businesses accepting such cards in Europe will take Mastercard.
According to the Commission, consumers make over 23 billion payments each year with their cards, with a value greater than 1.35 trillion euros (1.94 trillion dollars).
Although the ruling relates to card authorisation charges imposed on consumers travelling to other EU member states, the decision sets a legal principle on people making purchases in their own country and EU Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes has called on national regulators to follow her.
In the UK, the Office of Fair Trading has already indicated that it believes the fees are unfair and is expected to implement the Commission's ruling within months.
Leading retailers have promised to pass on the savings that should flow from the Commission's action to the consumer. The EU ruling could mean a fall in prices of up to £1billion a year in the UK.
Furniture retailer Ikea said card schemes have made it and its customers pay "excessively high fees". Tesco alone pays £100million a year to the banks for processing credit and debit cards.
Kevin Hawkins, director general of the British Retail Consortium, said: "We applaud the Commission's - decision to put an end to this unfair tax on consumers.
"This has been a long fight for the retail industry. MasterCard has clearly been abusing its position to bolster its bottom line and retailers and their customers are bearing the cost."
It is estimated that the charges cost the average household more than £40 a year.
MasterCard, which is owned by the world's big banks, said it would challenge the ruling in European Union courts.
MasterCard Europe said market forces, not regulation, should drive key decisions such as the setting of interchange fees and retailers' choices over which forms of payment to accept.
MasterCard Europe president Javier Perez said: "We are disappointed that ... the Commission failed to appreciate that without a mechanism to fairly share costs among all the participants in a payment system ... consumers will be hurt."

Maintaining Your Weight Loss – When asked what they find hardest about losing weight most people will say "keeping the weight off". While most people can lose 10, 50 or even 100 lbs, keeping those pounds permanently 'lost' is where most people run into trouble. Professional tennis players will tell you that staying at No. 1 in the world is a lot harder than getting to that No. 1 position. It's the same with weight loss.
What if we could tell you just by talking to you whether you'll be one of those people who will regain the weight back.
One of the very first things we ask someone is "What are you looking forward to doing once you lose weight?"
The way someone answers this question will tell us with almost 100% accuracy whether they'll be able to keep the weight off once they've lost it – or whether they'll put all the weight back on again.
So, how do we know?
Most people tell us that they look forward to eating all the things they weren't able to eat while dieting.
If that's what you're most looking forward to, you'll regain the weight you've lost – and you'll regain it very quickly. We guarantee it.
Losing the weight is only one part of the permanent weight loss equation. Keeping it off is the most important part.
One of our favorite sayings is "What gets you well, keeps you well"
So, what does that mean exactly.
Once you lose you weight, for sure, you will be able to eat more food. However, while you'll be able to add a few favorite foods back into your diet, maybe some berries, more yogurt and generally larger servings of most LCHF foods, to maintain your weight you'll need to keep eating the foods you ate to lose weight. That's why its important to enjoy the foods you eat while losing weight and why we spend a lot of time with people who we help discovering their food preferences and talking about what, when, where and how they like to eat.
Your low carb high fat way of eating has to become a way of life if you want to maintain your new slim body – and preserve your health.
It has to be your number 1 priority. Think of all the hard work you've done to lose weight and consider your reasons for wanting to be slim before eating that bag of potato chips or bowl of pasta. YOU are worth more than a bag of chips!
Most people find that once they've eaten LCHF for a few weeks it becomes a new and pleasant habit and they no longer crave some of the more unhealthy carb filled, less nutritious foods they used to eat before.
Infact, most people say that foods they once enjoyed will taste sickly sweet and unpleasant to them if they start eating them again.
Part of what LCHF Nation aims to do is teach people about food substitutes and replacements they can use so they never have to eat off plan. It makes a world of difference to know that you can choose a healthier version of a fattening food and feel satisfied in every way with regard to taste and texture. Cheesecake? We have several awesome cheesecake recipes in our cookbook that are every bit as good as the original made with sugar. WE're foodies so deprivation is not a word in our vocabulary!
If you have a hard time giving up rice, try our cauliflower rice recipe.
For those who love a big creamy dish of mashed potatoes whip up some creamy cauliflower mashed potatoes.
Served alongside an indian curry, cauliflower rice fools your taste buds into thinking you're eating real rice. Plus, it feels great knowing that you've saved over 50g carbs in one dish!
There's a LCHF version for everything you crave! Like our Chocolate Chiffon Pie below. See our LCHF Nation FaceBook page for the recipe. It's every bit as good as the original.
For the bread lovers, we have amazing breads, buns, biscuits and scones in our LCHF Nation cookbook. See our Pumpkin n'Spice Scones here:
For those whose life is made more pleasant by a spoonful of jam on their LCHF bread rolls, there are also awesome no sugar jams available. try and choose one sweetened with erythritol and/or stevia rather than splenda.
Once they've lost their weight, most people (myself included) find that they can return to enjoying a glass of wine or two with their dinner without any worries (most wine is only between 3- 5g net carbs per glass).
Being prepared by having low carb high fat replacement foods within easy reach can make all the difference in being able to maintain your weight instead of regaining it.
For people that say "but I can't cook a separate meal for me and another meal for my carb loving family I recommend that they cook something LCHF that the whole family will enjoy (beef stew or roast chicken anyone?) and for the carb eaters in your family, if necessary, simply cook up a starch such as roasted potatoes, or rice and serve it alongside the meal. For yourself, just skip the starch or substitute one of your replacement foods like a tasty dish of roasted cauliflower or zucchini noodles (zoodles!) instead of potatoes. See our Zoodles served with our Shrimp Marinara below. Our whole family enjoys this:
As with most habits, eating LCHF gets easier the more you practice and the more experience you gain in cooking food this way.
Do you want restaurant quality AND easy to make LCHF recipes? We're foodies – slim foodies 😉 Order our downloadable LCHF cookbook here. It's packed full of our favorite LCHF recipes – the recipes we ate to lose weight and still eat to maintain our weight. Tried, tested and true.
We're happy to guide you in making smarter food choices, while you lose weight and afterwards. If you'd like us to tell you EXACTLY how many calories and carbs YOU need to eat to lose weight and to maintain your weight, and design an easy to follow meal plan tailored to your EXACT needs, food preferences and lifestyle to help you lose weight, order one of our custom designed meal plans. They're the perfect solution for those who want to lose weight easily and not have to count or measure anything.

We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl year after year,
Running over the same old ground
What have we found? The same old fears
Wish you were here.

Legal Status
Document Details
Published Document
On March 3, 2010, Missouri & Valley Park Railroad Corporation (MVPR) [1] filed with the Surface Transportation Board a petition under 49 U.S.C. 10502 for exemption from the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 10903 to discontinue service over 3.5 miles of rail lines owned by BNSF located on the south side of BNSF's Cuba Subdivision between milepost 18.36 and milepost 20.50, near West Valley Park, St. Louis County, MO.[2] The lines traverse U.S. Postal Service Zip Code 63088, and include no stations.[3]
According to MVPR, the lines do not contain any Federally granted rights-of-way. Any documentation in MVPR's possession will be made available promptly to those requesting it.
MVPR proposes to discontinue service over these lines, which constitute its entire operations. When issuing discontinuance authority for railroad lines that constitute the carrier's entire system, the Board does not impose labor protection, except in specifically enumerated circumstances. See Northampton and Bath R. Co.—Abandonment, 354.I.C.C. 784, 785-86 (1978) (Northampton). Therefore, if the Board grants the petition for exemption, in the absence of a showing that one or more of the exceptions articulated in Northampton are present, no labor protective conditions would be imposed.
By issuance of this notice, the Board is instituting an exemption proceeding pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 10502(b). A final decision will be issued by June 21, 2010.
Any offer of financial assistance (OFA) under 49 CFR 1152.27(b)(2) to Start Printed Page 13809subsidize continued rail service will be due no later than 10 days after service of a decision granting the petition for exemption. Each offer must be accompanied by a $1,500 filing fee. See 49 CFR 1002.2(f)(25).[4]
All filings in response to this notice must refer to STB Docket No. AB-1057X, and must be sent to: (1) Surface Transportation Board, 395 E Street, SW., Washington, DC 20423-0001; and (2) Karl Morell, Of Counsel, Ball Janik LLP, 1455 F Street, NW., Suite 225, Washington, DC 20005. Replies to the petition are due on or before April 12, 2010.
Persons seeking further information concerning discontinuance procedures may contact the Board's Office of Public Assistance, Governmental Affairs, and Compliance at (202) 245-0230 or refer to the full abandonment and discontinuance regulations at 49 CFR part 1152. Questions concerning environmental issues may be directed to the Board's Section of Environmental Analysis (SEA) at (202) 245-0305. Assistance for the hearing impaired is available through the Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339.
Board decisions and notices are available on our Web site at http://www.stb.dot.gov.Start Signature
By the Board, Rachel D. Campbell, Director, Office of Proceedings.
Andrea Pope-Matheson,
Clearance Clerk.
1. MVPR leased the lines from BNSF Railway Company (BNSF) in 2002. See Missouri & Valley Park Railroad Corporation—Lease Exemption—The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company, STB Finance Docket No. 34231 (STB served Aug. 5, 2002) (MVPR lease). According to MVPR, upon the expiration of MVPR's lease, BNSF leased the lines to Burlington Shortline Railroad, Inc. d/b/a Burlington Junction Railway, which commenced operations on the lines on January 30, 2010. See Burlington Shortline Railroad, Inc. d/b/a Burlington Junction Railway—Lease and Operation Exemption—BNSF Railway Company, STB Finance Docket No. 35333 (STB served Dec. 31, 2009).Back to Citation
2. In MVPR lease, the length of the lines was described as 2.14 miles. According to MVPR, the lines are actually 3.5 miles in length.Back to Citation
3. On March 12, 2010, MVPR supplemented its petition with station information.Back to Citation
4. Because this is a discontinuance proceeding and not an abandonment, trail use/rail banking and public use conditions are not appropriate. Similarly, no environmental or historic documentation is required under 49 CFR 1105.6(c)(2) and 1105.8.Back to Citation

We all know that BW Cubes are based on extended start schema. The extended star schema is a more updated version of Classic Star Schema where the Dimension Tables in place of keeping actual data within them , keep SID values. These then further refer to the Master Data SID Tables (S,X,Y).
This keeps the actual Master Data values out of the limit of just one cube and is then available to multiple cubes.
But, how Navigational Attributes are placed in this Extended Star Schema Model. Also, when we talk about Navigational Attributes we do understand that too much of the same is not good for performance point of view. But how…this the million dollar question?
Let us first see one illustration below, this focusses on only one of the many master data connections (any one of them) and which is connected to any of the Dimension Table. We have not considered time dependent Navigation Attribute here.
Suppose the master data here is "Customer Master" data. This is not time dependent and has three attributes within marked as Navigational attributes.
We again focus for illustration on one of the objects "Partner" which is again a master data object with certain other objects as Navigational Attributes.
This makes SID table for both these objects (Customer & Partner) as X table.
Now as we see if we have any object marked as Navigational in any masterdata we end up generating:
- SID field entries for them in Naviagtional SID Table (X or Y)
- We have additional joins here which increase complexity (the blue table connections)
So think about how many additional such connections SIDs for one Master Data if we have so many objects marked as Navigational Attributes.
Hope this puts some light on the same 🙂

It seems sometimes that so much of what we see, reactions, conversations, beliefs, media, whatever, challenges even the most determined heart too remain soft. So much easier, it would seem, to just go with the "flow." But... still....
This morning a whisper to go and walk and take my little bag of corn meal. To walk, not in nature, but along the busy streets as commuters frantically rushed to work. You could see their eyes and faces, even the way they held the steering wheel. As they passed a whisper of 'soft.'
After a bit I came to a large cemetery with patches of trees untouched, and little winding paths. Wandering through their maze, I came upon a pile of tree trunks, branches, and trees that had been cut and tossed out of sight. Standing and thinking of all the clearing to create such an area, I noticed a cloth flower from the cemetery had somehow found its way through the trees and rested upon the pile of weathered limbs and trunks. A gentle branch held it in place. The ritual of leaving corn meal is a Native American tradition - when something from the earth is taken, corn meal is left as a gift of thanks. Kneeling I sprinkled my corn meal and offered my gift of thanks to the flower.
A different kind of flow. One I can live with. I know many don't understand. Simply the grace of soft.

re: A Guide: Eating out in Hyderabad/Secunderabad/Cyberabad
Both are good joints for Biryani. Another place worth checking out is Cafe Bahar at Hyderguda which is near Basheerbagh Crossroads and again about 1km from tankbund
For a list of good biryani joints in Hyderabad, its been discussed many times. Please search this thread for same
Sarvi : Right at Mehdipatnam X roads before St.Anna Girls College
Shahghouse : In Tolichowki, opp to the N.V food court that houses restuarants like Four Seasons, Mandar etc.

re: A Guide: Eating out in Hyderabad/Secunderabad/Cyberabad
I visited Bawarchi(not sure if the exact name is Green Bawarchi or New Bawarchi) at kondapur. It is definitely not a branch of the famous Bawarchi restaurant. It is very similar to the joint I used to frequent long back on Rajbhavan Road known as Mehfil which has now closed down therfore I liked it very much. Its a regular typical hyderabadi biryani joint. The quantity and price were very VFM, I ordered Chicken Biryani(INR 120) and Half Hyderabadi Chicken(INR 90). The Quantity of both the items was excellent i couldn't finish either. Tastewise i found Chicken Biryani good. Didn't quite like the Hyderabdi chicken due to abundance of curry leaves in it and also I was looking for something more spicy. May be I will have to try the other chicken dishes before I can settle on something that suits my palatte. One advice of caution though, As expected it is not a very clean place and donot expect too much in terms of service, definitely not a place for taking the family. There is an AC section too but the place is best suited for takeaway. For take away you may not step out of the car as there would be a guy standing there who can take the order and deliver it to you.

re: A Guide: Eating out in Hyderabad/Secunderabad/Cyberabad
You've been in Hyderabad for quite a few years now. Come on, Iam sure you developed a palate that can tell you these 'not so" subtle differences as a biryani ( though all these joints prepare the authentic dum style) from Paradise is way different from a biryani from Bahar in almost everything include the size of the grain, scent, flavour, density of masala's, meat marination and the final taste of same.
If you dont beileve me, then call for a biryani meet and experts like Traveloholic, Silverwood and Hyd_Traveller can share some biryani nuances with you to make you also an expert like them

re: A Guide: Eating out in Hyderabad/Secunderabad/Cyberabad
You are correct but my experience is based mostly on this side of the city sampling what ever is available in Madhapur, Banjara hills and Yusuf Tekri complex etc. Despite being in Hyderabad for so long I have only tasted from Bawarchi(RTC X rd) once and haven't visited Cafe Bahar, Astoria, Shadab etc as they are too far from my place. I am sure they would be better than Paradise. But my prime reason for vouching for paradise is that on this side of the city Paradise is the best I have tasted so far compared to 4 seasons, Mandar, Hyd House, City Spice, Niagra tolichowki etc etc. In fact I absolutely disliked Mandar and Niagra tolichowki. Alpha Hotel, s'bad was so so, not too great specially when Paradise is near by. I am sorely missing a 2 wheeler in my stable as I sold my P180 3 yrs back, I am planing to get one soon in order to venture far and wide into hyderabad to verify these claims without worrying for parking space. I would really appreciate if someone can point out authentic biryani places nearer to Madhapur. Until then Paradise, hitec City is my lifeline.
I am up for the Biryani meet . Looking to meet you guys soon, there is a lot to catch up from my side, really.

re: A Guide: Eating out in Hyderabad/Secunderabad/Cyberabad
These guys make some amazing cakes.
Labonel Fine baking , Hyderabad India.
There is no signboard outside. At least none that I could find.
Its in the compound adjacent to the Star Hospital, opposite the Indo Arab Mosque.
A walkin customer has limited options available.
Today there was only chocolate cake, vanilla cake and brownies.
A box of brownies contains 12 pieces and costs Rs 400.
Deli 9, has reopened and I paid them a visit today.
They had this lovely custard almond loaf (Rs 75). Excellent.
Also got this Corn Spinach Twisted Bun. (Rs 75) Very tasty.
The baguette as expected were soft on the inside. The crust was as hard as is expected. But they are very good. There is brown and white breads available. Prices are around Rs 40.
Has anyone tried http://www.facebook.com/thecupcakeshophyd

The issue with HH on the other hand is inconsistency. Each outlet serves different-tasting biryani.
@shrjun: As the others have said, there's a list of the "best" outlets somewhere not too far back (tine-wise) in this thread. The rest is up to your willingness to explore.
To reach RTC X roads from Hakimpet AFB (God, I love that place!) take bus #211 to Sec'bad station and then any of the bus #s 1 and 2 to RTC X roads. That's the easiest way because parking space is practically non-existent there.
@Hits/@huntrz: Unfortunately there aren't too many *good* options near B. Hills and Madhapur etc., but Sec'bad and nearby have good options. Once again, please look up that post that lists the best outlets.
Sometimes, auto/share auto or bus/MMTS is the best way to get around town in stress-free manner. I do that every once in a while especially when the weather is good.
By the way, what time of the day was it on SP Road? There's some construction work going on at Ministers Road, and possibly Metro work has started on SP Road too (not 100% sure). That could've been the cause. SP Road is quite smooth and fast during non-peak hours. Anyway, we digress.

re: A Guide: Eating out in Hyderabad/Secunderabad/Cyberabad
One of the major issue I have with the chicken biryani of popular biryani joints like Paradise, Bawarchi, Bahaar, Astoria & Dine Hill is that the chicken pieces are very big and chicken is the kind of meat that does not cook through and through. Only the top layer gets some masala and inside it is completely bland because the masala does not seep through. If you are unlucky to get a breast piece then you can never enjoy the meat.
I had a discussion with owner of Dine Hill about this and his argument was since chicken is soft meat it tends to break while removing from the handi and as they cook big quantities, handling small chicken pieces becomes difficult. hence they use quarter chicken pieces. That is the main reason why i avoid chicken biryani at these outlets.
I cook chicken biryani atleast 4-5 times a month and some times for as many as 10-15 friends and always buy medium size pieces (leg, thigh & wings) and avoid boneless / breast pieces because chicken cooks and tastes best when the flesh is attached to the bone. Breast piece is fibrous and does not cook well.
You can also try chicken biryani at Blue Fox, Himayat Nagar or Banjara Hills.

re: A Guide: Eating out in Hyderabad/Secunderabad/Cyberabad
I recommend that you be there exactly between 12:30pm to 1:30pm for lunch and prefarably before 9pm for dinner as thats when you can count on the freshest biryani from the kitchen
Wish they were smaller and more time spent on cooking it. Their already good biryani taste would quadruple
When are you inviting the hydeez foodie bunch for your home cooked biryani??
Been to "Zurna" on sunday evening to take-away their platter after seeing so much appreciation for same.
The platter which costed Rs.156 AI consisted of :-
Chicken 65 : Small quanity. But, decent. Not great nor bad. Chicken 65 at King and Cardinal Bakery for Rs.45 bucks is the best that i ever ate followed by Papaji Ka Dhaba. Zero coating
2 Rotis were real nice
Chicken Curry : 2 Large pieces of chicken cooked in a mild gravy and gravy was very tasty even though i am not too fond of mild food
Biryani : Good quantity and lovely large grained rice and chicken was cooked perfectly and much tastier than the gravy based chicken.
Qurbani Ka Meetha : 2 Tablespoons worth. Decent, nothing great
Overall, the best Rs.156 bucks that I spent in recent times

I felt the first pang in my right knee during the run during Pacific Crest Long Course (70.3). I was about 8 miles in and an hour into my run. I later learned it was IT band related.
Since that point, nearly every log entry includes how I feel about my knee. My knee was the focus at Vineman and I should have taken pictures of my knee as it carried me well through that race.
I've now run a bunch without knee problems. Sure, I've been getting very personal with my foam roller and "The stick". I also wear my IT band strap on my knee about 1/2 the time so it's not like my knee isn't a focus...but...
I think it's time I stop ending every run entry in my log with, "knee felt great". I need a new closing line but I'm not sure I can pull it off since my "Knee Jerk, Knee Report" is kind of natural.
However, I will do my best to focus on something else, hopefully more interesting and funny.
On a side note, I just loaded my next 26 week plan which focuses on the Olympic distance. Not that that is my goal for 2012, but it just kind of felt like a good way to spend the next 1/2 year before ramping back up to IM distance.
It still is a bunch of exercise but most weeks is about 8-10 hours and will give me a chance to work on some speed.

What magical things have happened between today and Tuesday, when last I blogged? Obviously my week was filled with mystifying and miraculous happenings, of which science has no real explanation.
I was going to write an April Fool's post, but couldn't think of anything. Although I do have an announcement to make a little later tonight...I figure I might as well get through the last three days, first.
Actually, I don't remember much that happened on Wednesday and Thursday. When do I ever? Same old: I failed at gym, panicked about schoolwork, and didn't get anything done in art. Thursday I wrote the in-class English essay, which was just evil, and had a basketball test which I failed miserably (because gym teachers are idiots who lie when they say all the answers will be on the packet they give us). There isn't much to be said there.
Today was better, I think. I've decided that the nice guy on my basketball team might actually be the nicest guy ever. I'm going to name him Cease, and I'll tell you why: he has the same name as Forever, except they're like complete opposites, especially since Forever is a jerk and Cease is totally not. Likewise, the opposite of to go on forever is to cease. So, hey! Nickname. I'm brilliant.
He actually seemed completely not bothered by my gym failure, and even amused by it. BUT TODAY HEY. As I was walking out of the locker room with Gym Buddies, he happened to be passing by, and he actually said hi! To me! And then I was so surprised that I kind of responded with a half-smile, half-demented-gargle (or something) that vaguely resembled 'hey', and then that was it. But, you know, contact.
Then, in gym, we played knockout, where he once more proved his supreme and utter niceness. For those of you who don't know, in knockout, if the person behind you gets the basketball in the net before you, then you're out. He ended up behind me a couple times and I swear, actually aimed away from the net so I had time to get it in. And let me shoot first. Gah. And then when I actually got out (though not because of him) he said, with a smile, "It's all good." (or something along those lines) and I was like YOU ARE THE NICEST PERSON EVER. But not out loud. You know.
In English we had fishbowl, which wasn't that bad. I did talk, though not very much, and I talked in the beginning as opposed to the very last minute, so it seemed like I said more than I did. Yeah. I don't think what I said was very good, but I guess that's for English Teacher to decide.
In world civ. we had a quiz on the genocide projects we all just finished presenting, with a question on the back: why does this still happen? I don't really like my answer; I said something about how humans are naturally barbaric and so far that hasn't changed. I think it's true, I just don't like how it's worded...
In art, as always, I got barely any work done and spent most of my time with Shari, Best, and Forever. Yay.
Science wasn't particularly memorable, but I did get 104% on my last science test. So I SUPPOSE that's something to be proud of :)
I have an exorbitant amount of homework this weekend, which makes it seem like an extended Monday more than an actual weekend. Plus, I don't have any plans. So now I guess I'll start on my announcement...

I've just finished with the book 'The Matrix and Philosophy' (ed. William Irwin), and I have to say a lot of it was a real slog.
As someone who has studied very little philosophy at an academic level, but has a 'pop' interest in it, it was a little frustrating - the stuff I could follow was the stuff which was already getting to be old hat for me e.g. the film's use of the ideas of real vs unreal, knowing vs not knowing, the Buddhist touches blah blah blah. Plus, the same few ideas seemed to be repeated over several articles, quoting the same few quotes from the film.
Where an article was about something I hadn't come across before, I couldn't bloody understand what the writer was talking about...
Prior knowledge was assumed and I didn't have it. It didn't help that some of the language was...impenetrable.
It's a library book, so I don't have the luxury of re-reading it over and over (with a bit of research into Lacan and anything else I am ignorant of). But I suppose if I owned a copy I'd be free to do that, and probably appreciate some of the writings a little more.
Overall, a much less accessible book than 'Buffy the Vampire slayer and Philosophy'.

Politicians and celebrities are going to get attacked in some form or fashion, particularly on social media. That is, unfortunately, an after effect of what happens when you put yourself out in public in the way that these two do. However, what should be beyond attacks is children. That being said, unfortunately, that is frequently not the case.
Billboard, the music & celebrity publication and website, became the latest violator of that unwritten rule. That happened this past Friday, when Billboard tweeted:
The toddler in question is North West, the daughter of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. Given the picture of North West in that picture, the implication is obvious, and it's atrocious. However, the article itself links to a story about North West saying to paparazzi, "I said no pictures!"
Reaction on Twitter was swift, and it was angry. No one was happy at what Billboard appeared to be going for. The response from Billboard was predictable and necessary: They deleted the tweet and apologized:
Here's the thing: I think they are lying. Why? Well, normally, when you post an article on Twitter, the only picture which is displayed is a picture from the article. That picture appears nowhere in the article, and that would imply that someone intentionally added that specific picture. Combined with that caption, as well as Kim Kardashian's prior appearance in a sex tape, and it leads me to believe that Billboard knew exactly what they were doing.
This, of course, is disgusting. Show some class.

NEW FRANKLIN When the Tudor House Advisory Committee (THAC) recently met for its August meeting, it agreed to increase advertising to attract more event rentals and walked the grounds to determine the most favorable place for a proposed three-sided pavilion.
THAC heard from neighbors of the Tudor House, to the south, who suggested the proposed pavilion be placed north of the home. Jean and Vince Mc Cormish addressed the committee and suggested placing the proposed 40-foot by 90-foot pavilion on the north side of the house where it fits in aesthetically better. The board said it would consider that request.
In January 2015, THAC sought bids for a three-sided, Tudor-style pavilion with plumbing and restrooms. THAC and city council originally considered taking a loan to cover the project, but never moved for approval. THAC member Paul Adamson said New Franklin City Park Board has recommended taking a loan to cover the estimated cost of $180,000 to $220,000. A bid has not been sought since the initial bid in January 2015.
The Tudor House is considered a park and therefore is funded by the park department budget. Rentals of the home and grounds are the primary income, and THAC is working to add the pavilion and a proposed 12 foot by 20 foot gazebo to further enhance the grounds and attract more rentals.
Mayor Al Bollas said he would seek more bids for a gazebo that THAC agreed should be traditional and placed near the lake frontage for ceremonies. It would replace an older type archway used for that purpose. THAC has received an anonymous donation of $5,000 donation towards the cost of the gazebo, which is estimated at $10,000.
Adamson noted that rentals for 2018 are down.
"We should assess the rental numbers, before we proceed on any further action for the pavilion," he said.
After the meeting, Tudor House Administrator Cheri Lopuchovsky said that calls for bookings for 2018 are coming in later than in past years. When she took the position four years ago, she said bookings were steady and have increased each year.
"When people call to inquire, they have already looked at out website and know the type of wedding they want," she said. "It ( Tudor House) is a gem."
Bookings were strong in 2016 with 87 events. In 2017, the Tudor House had bookings nearly every weekend, she said.
"We have had cancellations, but they are not going to another venue, they have had to cancel the wedding or event, " she added.
Lopuchovsky said she is confident bookings will increase for 2018 and agreed with Bollas that more advertising will be beneficial.
"We get bookings from Cleveland and the surrounding area, but many people in Akron and local towns don't know the Tudor House is here," she added.
She agreed the addition of a gazebo and pavilion will only enhance the home and grounds.
The city has applied for an Ohio Department of Natural Resources grant for $50,000. The ODNR offers financial assistance for communities for public recreation purposes through the Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund Program. The city also applied for a federal Community Development Block Grant, for $60,000, which can also be used for projects to enhance a community. If received, the grant money would be used toward the estimated cost of the pavilion. Bollas said he will not learn if they have received the grants until April 2018. If the ODNR and CDBG grants are awarded, the city will have to pay a match toward the grants.

Do NOT buy from Cheaptickets
9 comments:
- Josh and Jennifer Norman said...
Wow! That's ridiculous! I would tell your friend to contact the BBB about this one. I won't be looking at cheaptickets.com or orbitz from now on.
- April 7, 2011 at 1:26 PM
Looking for good deals to travel around Europe on sites like orbitz, cheaptickets, expedia, kayak, etc., is definitely the worst and most expensive decision a travel lover could ever make. The only way to travel cheap and confortable within the EU is flying with a low fare airline like Jet2, Ryanair, Easyjet, AirBerlin, BMIBaby, etc.
A travel lover should know that planning a trip within the EU using these sites will pay £200 or £300 more than planing a trip using a low fare airline.

Dear Anonymous,
My list of travel bookmarks started from traveling through the states - therefore Orbitz and Cheaptickets are on that list. Since coming to Scotland that list has expanded to include the EU budget airlines (I wish we had cheap airlines like this in the states. If anyone knows any besides Southwest please share).
My friend is coming from the states and therefore used a cheap site from the states to purchase her ticket. Once she's in the EU I used the budget airlines to get us around.
I felt the need to explain that because I felt I was being mocked by you. Not sure if that was your intention or not.

We loved Ryanair when we were in Sweden. So sorry about your friend. Is she able to get another flight through someone else? She should contact the BBB and see what rights she has....they should definitely refund her money.

Cheaptickets.com and Orbitz are legitimate companies. So it means one of the following:
1. These websites don't cancel flights, they don't have the power. It is the "airline" you'll be flying with.
2. You must read the fine print. Why do you think the ticket is so cheap to begin with? You can't make changes/refunds after buying these tickets, which is what I assume your friend is trying to do.
3. No one should fly almost 10,000 miles without buying directly from the airline.
4. This is a major trip, why didn't she have travelers insurance?
5. If you think it was a scam, tell your bank and you'll get your money back. As they do the investigation.
6. If your friend didn't have travelers insurance, you should. So you can change your plans in Europe and get your money back.
I've been reading your experience since you arrived. I find it interesting how little you've accomplished in such a long period of time. What a fantastic way to waste your hard earned money.

Dear Anonymous,
My friend is not trying to make a change, they made the change.
I'm sorry if you think I've accomplished little and wasted my money but I do not. Most of the things I've accomplished, participated in, and experienced I have not posted. Some won't be posted and some will be once I have time.
I've had an amazing personal experience these past months that I can't put money on and that's all that matters to me.

@anonymous. You must be a pretty miserable jellycat if you have nothing better to do than make negative comments while hiding behind anonymous. If you have issues with Stephanie's experiences and how she is sharing or not sharing them, don't read this blog. Simple as that.

Dear anonymous,
Who are you to judge how much a person has accomplished? You have no idea what brought her to this point in her life. You also obviously have no understanding of what kind of courage it takes to pack up everything you own and leave behind all your loved ones in order to see the world. Courage is obviously something you do not comprehend as you don't even have enough of it to leave your name when you set forth with ridiculing others. If you don't like what you read, here is a tip: DON'T read it! Before you decide to publicly deride people, make certain you have all the facts. Do us all a favor and unless your comments have some validity or can be substantiated, keep them to yourself

Jazz Soprano Sax virtuoso Dave Liebman, together with his group and the great Brazilian percussionist Café, breaks new ground in this inspired CD, entitled David Liebman: New Vista. Mixing Brazilian rhythms with penetrating ballads, this recording is, in the innovative Liebman's words, his "most upbeat release to date."
"David Liebman's New Vista is an extraordinary adventure. That, though, is what
we have come to expect from Liebman, one of contemporary music's true innovators.
Although having just passed the half century mark, Lieb is playing with an intensity
pulsing with youthful energies.
At the same time, his playing possesses a Solomon-like wisdom. On one level, there's a
brilliant reconfiguring of the past, of Dave's own considerable legacy, as well as those
of Miles ( Davis) and Trane (John Coltrane). And yet the music springs from the
immediacy of the moment. So while imbued with the spirits of the giants, Dave's
impassioned quests once again push past the present and into the future.
In the aptly titled New Vista, arguably Dave's most assessable project to date, the
inspiration comes in large part from Brazil. This, though, is not the Bossa Nova of your
father – or mother. Indeed, it's an electro-Amazonian voyage into an exotic and
rhythmically charged neo-musical hyperspace, a magical realm in which myth and dream
dance with joyous abandon."
…I have no doubt that New Vista will stand as a landmark in Liebman's already
distinguished career. Its appeals are many. Its impact is immediate. Indeed, it's serious
and joyous fun at the summit by one of our great contemporary artists, saxophone
extraordinaire, Dave Liebman. - Dr. Chuck Berg
Most well known as a key member of the seminal Miles Davis Quintet in the 1970's, Dave Liebman, along with notable musicians Phil Markowitz, Tony Marino, Jamey Haddad, Vic Juris, and Brazilian percussion master Café, creates this thrilling CD, David Liebman: New Vista (also available via download), that fuses Jazz with Brazilian influences; culminating in an exhilarating recording of Dave Liebman's individual musical vision.

re. "sore losers"
And one more thing, from a post by Leila, whose entire archives deserve to be read:
And one more thing, from a post by Leila, whose entire archives deserve to be read:
I think I need to clarify what I meant when I said I hoped we wouldn't be sore losers. I did not mean that we should give up activism, our beliefs, or our place in society. I did mean that conspiracy theories like "the machines were programmed in favor of Bush" were ways of missing the point. Here's what a friend said recently that I agree with: "We have to face the hard fact that 51% of us have actually asked for whatever happens next; that this was a fair fight and we now have a legitimate president."Keep that activist spirit alive, kids.
This is what I'm talking about. That we, as democrats, have been unable to make connections with enough citizens of our country to have the vote go in our favor. That we haven't, as another friend mentioned so eloquently, been able to provide alternatives to the various fears that drove this last election the way it went. That in spite of the fact that so many of the world's educational institutions and think tanks tend toward the left, we haven't harnessed that power and energy to solve this problem (or at the very least to market our values better). This is a wake up call.
Canada is not the solution. Whining about machines is not the solution. Being smarter and more strategic is the solution.

Emergencies come up all the time and most require instant cash. You might not have the money at hand, but don't expect the bank to rush your application process just because you said it was an emergency. However, there are mobiloan providers who can grant the cash in a matter of minutes. But do you know what this means for you?
There are a number of lending institutions which offer this kind of loans. Note that they are federally recognized. They are also required to operate responsibly in their lending practice, disclosing the involved costs upfront and informing their clients the loan is not a solution to long-term financial issues.
How do they work?
Interested applicants fill an online loan application form. The information is used in determining the credit limit. You can key in the amount of money you need as long as it is below your credit limit. The money will be transferred to the checking account immediately.
The credit limit calculations are done within seconds. However, there are cases where the lending institution is unable to verify the information provided immediately. You will have to wait if you happen to be in this category. Nonetheless, you will be given a time limit when a decision will be made. Typically, the decision is made before the end of a business day depending on when you make the application.
The fee and rates
There are two types of fees applicable when getting a mobiloan: fixed finance charges and a cash advance fee. The former is applicable on every billing cycle for unpaid loans and the latter is a one-time charge when you draw the money.
The fixed finance charge is between $10-$135 for every billing cycle
The cash advance fee can be between $-$3 for every $20 in advance.
How much can I get through mobiloans?
The credit limit ranges from $200-$2,500
The application process
You can take 3-5 minutes filling the application form. The information required can be found on your driving license, personal check, social security card or pay stub. In case additional documents are needed, you will be notified.
The repayment period
Many of the lenders will give you a month to 6 months as repayment period. Thus, think about your capability to pay back the loan within the stipulated period. Failure to do this will attract an additional fee. The longer you take to pay back the more you will have to pay.
Are mobiloans a good choice?
The mobiloans can appear to be a lifesaver, which they actually are at times, but there is a catch; there is always. You will be told that there is no money you will pay if you do not take the loans, which is right but are you sure you will not just use the money because you can? The problem many people face if they have subscribed to mobiloans is discipline. To many, the temptation is too great when the money is available, and they end up spending it just because it is there. The loans are meant for emergency situations, but once you use it the first time, it is hard to break out. You will be using the money, repaying and continuing the cycle.
To many mobiloans providers, the credit limit goes up with every repayment which can trick you into thinking you will be gaining more by repaying and taking another loan immediately. Seal the leeway if you can be tempted into remaining a slave to mobiloans. If you must, disable the account after you are done repaying the loan. Your financial status will thank you for this later.
Are the mobiloans bleeding you dry?
If you have ever used mobiloans, did you think of the interest upfront or just the money you will be getting. Remember these are unsecured loans and given the high risk, the interest is automatically high. If you are not using the loan for emergency, you will end up worse than how you started. Credit cards mostly charge 5% interest or less but the mobiloans attract an interest of up to 15%. Is it worth the trouble? Ask yourself that before you go on a spendthrift using the money you got from a mobiloan.
Mobiloan alternatives
It is no secret that having a poor credit score is going to make your situation worse if you are trying to secure a loan in the short term. With bad credit, you will not get a loan from the bank to repair the credit score. Also, employers will use your credit rating in filtering job applicants. If you have low credit score, you lose. That is how mobiloan providers get clients! They only require you to have a checking account and a job. How bad your credit score looks is not a problem. Nonetheless, there is always an alternative. Instead of damaging your credit score further with mobiloans and letting them milk you dry, you can explore other alternatives.
a) Payroll advances
You can get a cash advance from your employer, which saves you on interest and processing fee. There are businesses which provide low-cost loans to their employers who are experiencing financial difficulties. You ought to be highly valued by the employer though to qualify for the loans. With a bad reputation at your job and a bad credit, you can only imagine how much far you can go.
b) Pawnshops
Pawnshops are not popular for the reputation they have but they are legitimate, and you can get money from them quickly. You need to have a valuable item as collateral though. They are better than mobiloans in that losing the item does not come with a poor credit score, and you can always replace it later if you are unable to recover.
c) Credit card advances
Don't get confused about the cost of credit card advances, they are still expensive. The interest rate is 29% and the fee is 15%, but at the end of the day, they are cheaper than mobiloans for longer-term financial solutions and larger cash advances. However, if you are borrowing in the short term, like a week or two, a mobiloan is cheaper.
d) Personal loans
You can apply for a personal loan from microfinance companies, banks and credit unions. The traditional lenders offer loans at lower rates but they will take long before processing it. Also, it is harder to meet their requirements in a few days.
There are personal loan providers who cater for people who have a bad credit score. The interest rates you have to pay on the loans are lower than what mobiloans attract. With regular payments done on time, you can rebuild your credit score to the point of qualifying for a loan from the traditional lenders. This is something you will never achieve with mobiloans.
These loans are processed just as fast as mobiloans. You do not have to visit the outlets for the application. The form can be filled online and on clicking send you will have the money within seconds.
e) Withdraw from a retirement account
You can get money from IRA or 401(k) temporarily without attracting fees or interest. However, this is only allowed once each year. Note that the money should be returned within 2 months. Otherwise, you will be charged a 10% penalty fee unless you are 59.5 years old and above. Additionally, you will have to pay income tax on the money you withdrew.
Your choice?
When in need of quick cash, you can decide to go for a mobiloan loan or a better alternative. Not to say that mobiloans are entirely evil, but they should be your last option. Among their drawbacks, the interest rates are the highest and you cannot grow your credit score.
The most important thing, no matter what you choose, is to ensure you are in a position to repay the loan in the outlined duration. When you do the math on what you have repaid if you take several months to clear the loan, you might realize the interest is more than 500%. Do you really think it is okay to pay such when you are not gaining significantly? I bet not!

I honestly thought that I would never be a blogger. That's one thing that coming to Honduras has changed. I'm not so much a fan of spreading my life out on the crazy world of Facebook, although it would be a lie to say that I don't use it to catch up with everyone back home. But I've found blogging to be a much better way to write out what's going on. And now, post 100. Thank you to all of you who have followed me this year and have kept me in your prayers! I have 11 more days in this country, and despite the strong anticipation to be back, I know that my purpose is not over just yet.
God bless you today!

The showcase for new talent
You know that buzzy feeling you get in your head when you are doing loads of stuff non stop. Well that's what I've got tonight. Life is non stop and I have to keep going. It turns out my daughter is just the same, she can't rest, she has to be doing something all the times even when she's so tired that any normal person would sleep. I guess we're not normal. Both of us must be hyperactive or something. Or driven by some unseen force.
Today I worked all day and at 5:30 shut the shop and high tailed it to Sandra's. She was waiting on the pavement outside her house for me. WE drove to Simons for our last rehearsal before Saturdays gig. Simon had dinner waiting for us. Pizza chips and curry. Hmmm! You wouldn't believe what he has in his kitchen. A pin ball machine.
Then he spent a while showing us his guitar in this book called "The guitars of John Entwhistle". He has a guitar that was owned by John Entwhistle. And to make it even more special it was owned before that by Pete Townsend. So Sandra and I have both played the same guitar as both John and Pete. Incredible. People would pay for that honour. He even has the paperwork to prove it's the real thang.
So we played for nearly two and a half hours. I know you aint gonna be there so here's some of the songs we'll be playing.
Wicked game – Chris Isacks (Me guitar, simon guitar/ vocals, Sandra vocals)
Aint no sunshine – Bill Withers (Me on guitar, Sandra vocals and Simon bongos)
Free bird – Lynerd Skynerd (Me guitar/vocals, Simon guitar, Sandra mandolin)
Wild world – Cat Stevens (me guitar/vocals, Simon Mandolin, Sandra guitar)
Handbags and gladrags- Stereophonics (Simon guitar/vocal, me guitar, Sandra Mandolin)
Suspicious minds –Elvis
Is she really going out with him- Joe Jackson
Dreams – Fleetwood mac
Oh there's a load more and I'm bored listing them. You'll just have to imagine them for now.
So we finished the rehearsal and I went to pick up my children. Dropped off Sandra because she was tired and we went to Geneva's to see Abi and her band "Within".
I've told you before how incredible Abi is. Well Jamie, my boy, was watching and he nudged me and said "You know you said that she had stage presence?"
"Well she's got a lot hasn't she?"
"She's got it in spades. You can't keep your eyes off her can you?"
"No. She's fabulous."
As a tease I suggested that he had fallen in love with her. At first sight. He said he hadn't. I looked around the pub and saw the band list for the coming month and there was my band on the 24th June. "Ad Hock" that is, not my new band "Mike da hat and friends". It could get complicated when our gigs clash, but then I know Del and Tony can do without me in Ad Hock. They're professional.
"Within" played their first set of three and we had to leave because the kids have school tomorrow. We said our goodbyes and Abi gave my children big hugs.
Gemma is used to being with musicians and didn't bother much. But I guess Jamie was really pleased that he got a hug from Abi. You know I wish you could all meet Abi. Your lives would be so much better for it. http://www.within-band.co.uk
It's my first showcase event tomorrow night. I am not playing tomorrow night. But I have two new bands playing. I am more nervous for them than I am for myself on our first gig Saturday. I know we're good. I know we can play what people want to hear. But the showcase is my baby. And the new bands have to come through for me. I just want them to take it as seriously as I do. I've worked hard for this. On their behalf. I'm putting my reputation on the line here. It could all fall apart if they are crap. But I console myself that when I was in their position I would have been practicing like mad. I still do. So I hope they have been rehearsing so they can be as good as they can possibly be. It's in their own interest if they want to get on in the music biz. I hope they don't let me down. All I ask is they take it seriously and do their best. It's something I have no control over I guess that's what's making me nervous. I'd better sleep before I go crazy with worry.
Mike da Hat

Dah lama aku nak tengok cerita ni. Impian aku tercapai bila TV3 siarkan cerita ni semalam sempena tahun baru cina. Best giler cerita dia. Aku harap aku dapat jumpa cerita ni dalam mana2 hardisk kawan aku daa aku copy. hehe
Synopsis (Wikipedia)
Chow Ti (Stephen Chow) is a poor laborer working on construction sites. He lives in a partially demolished house with his son, Dicky (Xu Jiao). Chow is eager to save money so he can continue sending his son to private school, to ensure that his life will be better in the future. However, Dicky is often bullied by other children and his teacher (mainly due to his lowly status), and he usually finds comfort with a young teacher, Ms. Yuen (Kitty Zhang Yuqi).
One day, while at a department store, Dicky begs his father to buy him a popular robotic toy called CJ1. Chow cannot afford it, and the situation ends badly when Chow spanks the stubborn Dicky in front of other customers. Again, Dicky finds comfort in Ms. Yuen, who is passing by. That night, Chow visits the junkyard where he often picks up home appliances and clothes for Dicky. He finds a strange green orb and takes it home, telling Dicky that it is a new toy, better than the robot they saw earlier. Dicky is hesitant at first, but agrees to keep it. The following evening, the orb transforms into a cuddly alien creature that befriends Dicky. After playing, he names the alien "CJ7", and then falls asleep. He dreams that the alien will help him gain popularity and good grades at school (parodying Stephen Chow's previous films, Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle). Buoyed by his dream, Dicky takes CJ7 to school the following morning, but he receives a zero on his exam and is humiliated during physical education. Frustrated, Dicky tries to dispose of the CJ7, but realizes his mistake and later reconciles with it. The next day, because of his alien pet, Dicky begins to make new friends at school. However, when his father discovers that he lied about his bad exam result, Chow confiscates CJ7, arguing that Dicky will never pass school if there are distractions. The father and son fall out, so Dicky sticks close to Ms. Yuen, who promises she will look after him. This cheers Chow up somewhat, who fears he might lose his son's love.
Later, while Chow is working on a skyscraper, his foot becomes entangled in a rope attached to an oxygen tank. The tank is knocked off the building, pulling him along with it. He later dies at a hospital, and Ms. Yuen takes Dicky home, explaining what has happened. The boy then shoves his teacher out of the house; through his tears he tells himself that his father would never leave him alone.
At the hospital, CJ7, using its otherworldly powers, revives Chow and transports him home. The next morning, Dicky, in tears of happiness, promises his father he will never give up at school or in life. The cost of CJ7's rescue is high, as his own life fades away through the exhaustion. While Dicky waits and waits for his pet to resurrect, his notepad opens on an unfinished page and a pencil writes a message (presumably from CJ7): continue with your schoolwork. Following the advice, things return to normal, with Chow attempting to flirt with Ms. Yuen (with little success), and Dicky playing with his new school friends. One calm afternoon, Dicky's wildest dream greets him when he sees a UFO land nearby, from which run hundreds of the aliens.

I went to a Japanese restaurant this week and had some sushi. I also had some things that I could not recognize that looked kind of good. I ate calamari, both raw and breaded, octopus with the suction cups still on and crunchy and even cold soybeans. This may not seem unusual to you but you must remember that the first 18 years of my life were spent on a farm in Indiana. I grew up on mashed potatoes and gravy, roast beef and a choice of three vegetables: corn, green beans or sweet peas. The most adventurous foreign food that I remember was pizza or maybe some Chef Boyardee. My mom may have tried to introduce some variety but like many teens I rebelled from oppressiveness of trying squash, cooked onions, broccoli, and cauliflower.
It wasn't until I got off the farm did I take a few chances in the available culinary cornucopia. My wife was my primary influence in pushing me to try new things. I would refuse at first but I finally gave in to those radical veggies. She dragged me into Italian restaurants and I would eventually get beyond recognizing nothing past lasagna and ordering some of the more radical pastas. She would push me into an oriental restaurant and I would get away from simple sweet and sour and get into Szechwan. Then, after years of indoctrinating, I grew beyond even my wife into seafood, raw and cooked, tentacled and shelled, wrapped in seaweed and rice to the point where I will try anything – once.
Sometimes I have to wonder: What were they thinking? When I slurp down an oyster. Who thought of doing this first? Who would think of chopping up an octopus into bite-sized chunks? Who would wrap seaweed around raw fish and think, hmm, maybe if I put some rice in there too?
Sometimes, I even take the radical chance of going to a local restaurant and ordering … mashed potatoes, gravy, corn and some roast beef.
This year expand your horizons a bit. Eat something you've never tried. Go someplace you've never gone. Do something you've never done. Meet someone you've never met. Take a chance.

Up on the second floor in the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, in a gallery displaying artefacts from early England, there is a beautiful teardrop-shaped object. A decorated golden frame surrounds a colourful enamelled design protected by a flat panel of polished rock crystal. It shows the picture of a man dressed in a green tunic, and holding a flowered sceptre in each hand
And around the rim of the object, just a few millimetres thick, is an Old English inscription in Roman letters:
There are no spaces between the words. Inserting these, we get
Alfred me ordered to make
= Alfred ordered me to be made
The "Alfred" is King Alfred the Great, and the object has come to be called the Alfred Jewel.
The jewel was found in 1693, in a field at North Petherton, Somerset, just a few miles from Athelney, the stronghold of King Alfred and where he founded a monastery. Alfred succeeded his brother Æthelred as king of Wessex in AD 871.

The Illinois State Toll Highway Authority next week is expected to approve a contract for a new, four-way interchange at Winfield Road and the East-West Tollway (Interstate Highway 88) in Warrenville.
The project is scheduled to begin Nov. 1 and take a year to complete.
On Wednesday, the Operations Committee reviewed a low bid of $8.1 million by a joint venture of Plote Inc. and Milburn Brothers Inc. to build the interchange.

Our review today is specially for singles who still have feelings for
their ex and would like to get back into a relationship with them.While
there are many ways (which you can find in other products) on how they
can get their ex back, we are going to focus on a particular method
today and that is... How one can actually text their way back into a
relationship with their ex, in Michael Fiorre's "Text The Romance Back" program.According
to Michael, it is said that this program can turn even the biggest
romantic numbskull into a "prince charming" doing nothing but pushing a
