Soy milk comes in a variety of flavors, all touting a myriad of health benefits, from preventing heart disease and cancer to alleviating menopause symptoms. According to a 2006 article in "Environmental Health Perspectives" evidence is not conclusive on how soy compounds act in the human body, so no health benefits are guaranteed. Extensive use of soy milk may have unwanted side effects.
Estrogen and Testosterone Levels
Soy milk contains phytochemicals called isoflavones. Phytochemicals are plant compounds known for their disease-fighting abilities. The isoflavones in soy milk raise estrogen levels, which is beneficial for post-menopausal women who experience hot flashes and other symptoms after natural estrogen levels drop. On the down side, isoflavones block the body's natural estrogen and take away the protective effect estrogen levels have against breast and uterine cancers before menopause. They may also promote hormone-sensitive cancers in certain people. In men, soy lowers testosterone levels leading to a decreased sex drive.
Sinus and Digestive Problems
According to certified clinical nutritionist Lauren Talbot, soy blocks the enzymes the body needs for digestion. While soy contains protein, there is also a substance in soy that inhibits protein digestion. This can cause bloating, indigestion and constipation. After the body breaks down soy, it leaves a mucus-like coating in the gastrointestinal tract, which slows digestive and respiratory systems and causes excess mucus. Over time, this can lead to sinus problems, asthma exacerbation, colds and irritable bowel syndrome.
Mineral Absorption
The phytic acid in soy can also prevent the absorption of crucial minerals, including calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc. A study published in 1992 in the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition" showed iron absorption in humans increased when phytate levels were reduced. Even after all the phytate was removed, participants absorbed significantly less iron from soy protein compared to egg whites. According to the Linus Pauling Institute, soy protein also inhibits iron absorption. Without adequate iron, you experience fatigue, rapid heart rate and breathing, heart palpitations and eventually anemia.
Thyroid Function
The isoflavones in soy milk deplete iodine levels in the body, reports the University of Maryland Medical Center. Without adequate iodine, the thyroid can't function properly and you can develop hypothyroidism. A 2006 article published in "Thyroid" states that people with an underactive thyroid or low iodine intake are at risk for hypothyroidism if they consume soy products. Most Americans get a sufficient amount of iodine, but have your thyroid checked if you drink a lot of soy milk. If you have hypothyroidism, speak with your physician about adjusting your medication.

text: David Ramsay (April 2, 1749 - May 8, 1815) was an American physician, public official, and historian from Charleston, South Carolina and is recognized as one of the first major historians of the American Revolution. Born In Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Ramsay graduated from Princeton in 1765 and received a medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1773. He settled in Charleston where he opened a medical practice. Ramsay served as a member of the South Carolina legislature from 1776 until 1783 and joined the South Carolina militia in 1780 as a field surgeon when the British threatened Charleston. After the fall of Charleston, Ramsay was imprisoned for nearly a year until he was exchanged. He then served as a member of the Continental Congress from 1782 until 1786, and served as its chairman from November 23, 1785 until May 12, 1786 due to the absence of John Hancock. In 1785 Ramsay published History of the Revolution in South Carolina in two volumes, which has the distinction of being the first book to receive a copyright in the United States. Ramsay also published a two-volume History of the American Revolution in 1789, Life of Washington in 1807, and a two volume History of South Carolina in 1809.

poetry 4: simple
The way lines look on the page.
The space taken up by breathing/breath.
The meaning of what isn't put down. Elision.
No more writing just for writing's sake.
Mary Oliver can do this sometimes, but sometimes it feels cold. One poem where she accomplishes simplicity (in balance with--what?--poetic excess? humanity? physicality?) is the stunning "University Hospital, Boston," from American Primitive. The poem blends narrative and lyric so seamlessly that I'm carried through it, from her descriptions of the hospital, to the speaker's relationship with the beloved, to the musing on the hospital's history, to the hair-raising final stanza.
The trees on the hospital lawn
are lush and thriving. They too
are getting the best of care,
like you, and the anonymous many,
in the clean rooms high above this city,
where day and night the doctors keep
arriving, where intricate machines
chart with cool devotion
the murmur of the blood,
the slow patching-up of bone,
the despair of the mind.
When I come to visit and we walk out
into the light of a summer day,
we sit under the trees--
buckeyes, a sycamore, and one
black walnut brooding
high over a hedge of lilacs
as old as the red-brick building
behind them, the original
hospital built before the Civil War.
We sit on the lawn together, holding hands
while you tell me: you are better.
How many young men, I wonder,
came here, wheeled on cots off the slow trains
from the red and hideous battlefields
to lie all summer in the small and stuffy chambers
while doctors did what they could, longing
for tools still unimagined, medicines still unfound,
wisdoms still unguessed at, and how many died
staring at the leaves of the trees, blind
to the terrible effort around them to keep them alive?
I look into your eyes
which are sometimes green and sometimes gray,
and sometimes full of humor, but often not,
and tell myself, you are better,
because my life without you would be
a place of parched and broken trees.
Later walking the corridors down to the street,
I turn and step inside and empty rom.
Yesterday someone was here with a gasping face.
Now the bed is made all new,
the machines have been rolled away. The silence
continues, deep and neutral,
as I stand there, loving you.
1/ The end-stopped stanzas work here, I think, because they are a natural closure and connection of information. They mark subject/topic changes--almost small poems within the poem.
2/ If you're familiar with Oliver's poetry, you can probably imagine how terrifying and horrible a "place of parched and broken trees" would be. I never thought of that until typing this poem out--how personal and awful that image really is.

Alice and Valerie really take on a lot of pro bono work. This time we find out Sophie used to be an artist, cool.
Alice isn't the only one that lies to her friends, Valerie lied about her relationship with Dao.Well what is a friendship without a few lies.
Alice is spilling her guts so fast for someone that doesn't trust people. Does therapy work this fast. I was expecting Alice to omit a lot of things but she's so open with her "Therapist". I hope she finds out soon as this can't be good for the investigation. Isn't she supposed to leave the investigation out of the therapy room.
Margo really has a complicated family. She stole from her brother and he's goint to tell mummy on her.
Benji finally chooses a side. Yay! I hope they don't get other people killed. It was nice to see Alice sticking to a decision instead of her fluctuating between hating Benji, stealing from Benji and being bad with Benji.
Tilll next week! Check out the next episode trailer below.

Pointen Oktober 2009
"Here is some very good news. At NASA, the countdown is on. After years of wasting taxpayer money on research to increase the quality of life here on Earth and all that rubbish, NASA is finally doing something cool. They're blowing up the moon!" – Craig Ferguson
"So they're going to attack the moon, and they're going to be looking for water. And I thought, well, that's pretty much sounds like our government — bomb first, look for evidence later. That's the way we do business." – David Letterman
"Nobel Prizes in science were awarded yesterday, and the three winners in physics are known as the 'masters of light.' Not to be confused with Dick Cheney, known as the 'prince of darkness.'" – David Letterman
"Obama said he will attend the ceremony in Oslo if he's not too busy with the two wars he's conducting." – Bill Maher
"And according to USA Today, car thefts are now at a 20-year low. Well, sure, it's hard to steal a car when the owner's living in it." – Jay Leno
"One of the top selling costumes this Halloween is a vampire version of President Obama called 'Barackula.' Also very popular is the vampire version of former Vice President Dick Cheney, called 'Dick Cheney.'" – Conan O'Brien
"Former President George W. Bush made his debut as a motivational speaker. Afterwards, Bush said, 'The crowd was so motivated, many of them left halfway through.'" – Conan O'Brien
"In a speech in Canada, former President George W. Bush said he was proud that when he was in office he didn't sell his soul, which is true. He rented it to Dick Cheney, who then sublet it to Halliburton, but it's totally different." – Jay Leno
"It's getting nasty. Cheney said that when it comes to Afghanistan, Obama seems to be 'afraid.' Afraid? Isn't Cheney the one that was hiding in the underground bunker?" – Jay Leno
"Well, according to CBS News, President Obama has played more golf in nine months than George Bush in nearly three years. Actually, Obama's a good golfer. You know what his handicap is? Joe Biden." – Jay Leno
"Some people are already criticizing the Obama's decision to cut the pay of the executives at companies that received bailout money. They say this could cause a lot of these guys to quit. Because you wouldn't want to lose the geniuses who lost us hundreds of billions of dollars." – Jay Leno

In Massachusetts public schools are mandated by law to give every student a Body Mass Index (BMI) screening and report back to parents in writing their child's weight and BMI score – the Fat Letter as it is being called.
As a former teacher I know health is important to learning. Both when I was in school and when I taught there were sight and hearing screenings especially of primary age children. In a regular public school class room it is difficult to learn to read or perform basic math functions if you cannot see and/or hear.
Young children do not know if their hearing or seeing is optimal, so screening is important.
But weight and BMI?????
Being overweight or having a high BMI does not mean you cannot learn.
Furthermore, and especially in the America, the land of the free, is it the proper business of the school or the state government to inform parents their child is over weight? Does the state think parents don't know their child is over weight?
How much is this program costing taxpayers?
Of course the state of Massachusetts, who mandates the program, does not pay for it. The local school district must pay for this expensive program, thus stealing money from the local community and children.
Doesn't the school have a more important charge……like teaching children to read, compute, and think? Shouldn't we be investing this money on learning?
Do we really want, is it even healthy, for young children to obsess over their weight mimicking a waif like Hollywood starlet?
As I said in, The Obesity Epidemic – Or Is It?, and as the Huffington Post has pointed out as well, BMI is not even an accurate measure of being over weight.
The BMI was not even created to measure fat of an individual person. It was intended to measure, "the collective weight of an entire population." But the math is so easy that doctors and the Food Police soon seized onto it and now use BMI as a bludgeon to try and force people into accepting their no fat ever agenda.
Being over weight, especially in these days of skinny being over-glamorized, is not the end of the world. Remember, plump was once the norm and skinny was once considered unhealthy. See Body Image I and Body Image II.
Throughout history and into to modern times there have been many happy, successful, and productive obese people who graced our lives and culture:
Henry VIII, Reuben's Nudes, Renoir Nudes, Howard Taft, Orson Welles, Lou Costello, Alfred Hitchcock, Rosemary Clooney, Jackie Gleason, and Luciano Pavarotti to name but a few.
Today there is:
Oprah, Queen Latifah, John Goodman, Aretha Franklin, B.B.King, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Kevin James, Drew Carey, Santa Claus, again to name but a few.
Featured Recipe Artichoke Pasta
I have been playing with this recipe for several years now. While good as it is, nevertheless, it is still a work in progress.
I am trying to get the taste of fresh artichoke leaves dipped /smothered/drowned in melted garlic butter. If you have never eaten or tasted this dish you are missing out on one of life's best tastes ever. Certainly in the Top Ten Best Tastes In Universe.
I have only had them at a friend's house or in a restaurant.
This is because, first, the dish is VERY time consuming. And you won't find this lazy cook doing that much work. Second, fresh artichokes can be difficult to find. And when you do they are often very expensive.
I am close to what I want. I want that flavor of an artichoke dipped in a garlic butter. Don't know how to get it. Still too much lemon.
See what you think and let me know how to get a more pronounced butter flavor as opposed to lemon juice taste.
This is what you will need for 3 people:
½ package spaghetti
For the Artichokes
2 cans artichokes (not marinated)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove pressed
¼ cup white wine
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Butter Garlic Sauce
2 tablespoons each chopped parsley & chives
4 Tablespoons butter
2 lemons:
1 clove garlic pressed
Grated Parmesan cheese – optional
Here is what you do:
Cook the spaghetti according to package directions.
While the spaghetti is cooking drain the artichokes and dry thoroughly on paper towels.
Cut the chokes in half.
Press the garlic. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the garlic until fragrant.
Add the artichokes to the skillet for 10 minutes gently turning the chokes over once at the half-way mark. Add a bit more oil if necessary.
Add the wine, increase the heat too high, and continue cooking the chokes until most of the wine has cooked down a minute or two.
Set aside and keep warm. If desired, salt and pepper the chokes.
For the Butter Garlic Sauce
Chop the parsley and chives very fine. Press the garlic. Zest and juice the lemon.
Melt the butter over low heat and sauté the garlic until fragrant.
Add the herbs to the garlic and sauté for a scant minute or so.
Add the lemon juice and heat until warm.
Drain the pasta.
Place cooked pasta in a large bowl. Add the artichoke mixture and toss gently.
Divide the pasta and artichoke mixture onto individual plates.
Top the spaghetti on each plate with some of the Butter Garlic Sauce. Top with some of the lemon zest
If desired top with some grated Parmesan cheese too.
Serve with a salad.
Bon appétit!!!
½ package spaghetti $1.29
For the Artichokes
2 cans artichokes $4.58
2 tablespoons olive oil $0.24
1 garlic cloves pressed $0.11
¼ cup white wine $1.02
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Butter Garlic Sauce
2 tbspn parsley/chives $0.36
4 tablespoons butter $0.32
1 lemon: $0.69
1 clove garlic pressed $0.11
Grated Parmesan cheese $0.26
Total cost = $8.98
Cost per person = $2.25
Quote of the Day
After all the trouble you go to, you get about as much actual "food" out of eating an artichoke as you would from licking 30 or 40 postage stamps.

The link bellow is for the real lovers of black celebrities nude .
What Nicholas said about black celebrities nude:
New photos of Jennifer Love Hewitt are smoking hot and have already made me drool on my keyboard and the floor. She's good at what she does. She loves it when her man fucks her mouth and fired a hot load down her wet, ready throat and swallowed it all. He fucks her in multiple positions before she gets down for another round of head, she works his cock hard and drained his nuts into her mouth as she can. She wants nothing more than a hard core anal fuck. She fingers herself for a little while and then licks around the head of the cock, stroking the shaft while she sucked the other.

I like nurses. They've treated my family and me extremely well when we've been hospitalized. They perform invaluable services and, in my experience, typically incredibly well.
But I dislike state healthcare staffing mandates. These reflect the political power of an interest group to get favorable treatment for its members.
In general, healthcare interest groups seek staffing mandates when they can't achieve their goals through private sector negotiations.
The nurse's union wants hospitals to hire more nurses and pay them more. That's why unions exist, to protect member interests. Hospitals balk, so the nurse's union tries to enlist public support by convincing voters that having more nurses, with the related higher medical spending, somehow serves the public interest.
But the nurse's union doesn't reflect the public interest any more than the X-ray technician union, physician union, hospital cleaner union, hospital food staff union or any other. They exist to benefit their own members.
Should we mandate minimum levels of these and thousands more staffing functions?
Consider history: the US had seven state healthcare mandates in 1965 but more than 1,800 in 2016. During that time period, healthcare spending per capita rose from about $1,700 to $10,000 in constant 2016 dollars.
The various mandate-supported groups did well.
But life expectancy – increasing it being the real goal of our healthcare system - only rose nine years and most of that, according to Harvard professors Rashi Fein and Jules Richmond among others, was attributable to improved public health programs.
No research that I've read, and I study this stuff for a living, has pointed to mandated hospital staffing requirements as impacting life expectancy trends.
That's why I oppose staffing mandates in general.
I oppose this question for two specific reasons:
First, I have no idea how many patients each nurse should treat. And neither do other voters. We – voters - are the wrong group to decide.
Second, I have no idea how future medical technology improvements will affect the patient-to-nurse ratio. But codifying a specific ratio in law today may negate the benefits of such future technology improvements tomorrow.
There is a much better way to address hospital-staffing questions: track patient outcomes from each hospital. Publish quarterly risk-adjusted patient mortality, infection, discharge and readmission rates by medical condition, by hospital.
That real time (or as real time as we can get in healthcare) information will tell hospitals how well they're actually doing, where they're outstanding and where they fall behind. It will give hospitals the information necessary to improve patient care.
And patients, now armed with care quality information, can choose the best hospital for their needs.
This kind of patient outcome data is sorely needed in our healthcare system. It is, in my opinion, the most critical missing component.
If you really want to improve healthcare, require hospitals to publish risk adjusted patient outcome data by medical condition.
Mandating that would be an excellent step and one I could get behind.
But not Question 1. It's just a financial and power grab by one specific union.
Easton resident Gary Fradin works in healthcare and has published books on the subject. He is a member of the Easton Democratic Town Committee, but the views expressed are his own.

One year ago this week DirtTRI.com officially launched, becoming… 'the first and only media outlet dedicated exclusively to off road multisport and thus giving life to an idea which had been contemplated by many in the media for well over a decade.'
For 2016 DirtTRI.com has launched a 'lifestyle' category to embrace everything that sets the off road athlete apart. Further, DirtTRI.com is expanding its product reviews to include short and long term reviews with both written and video content as well as expanded original content within the training and race categories.
"Our goal for 2015 was to make it to 2016," said DirtTRI.com founder and editor, Jimmy Archer. "I'm pleased to say DirtTRI has been enthusiastically received and we've seen rapid and encouraging growth in our first year. We're not where we want to be yet, but it is exciting to see a start-up property consistently get five figure monthly unique visitors within a year."
Archer went on to say "DirtTRI.com was an overdue concept. Millions of off road multisport athletes globally have been all but ignored for twenty years. I've been a freelance writer, editor, and pro triathlete for more than 15 of those years. During that time, I can't tell you how often I've heard 'why isn't there an off road mag? Someone should really do that'. Finally I realized if it was going to happen I was the one to do it, thus DirtTRI.com was born."
Archer continued, "I'm excited for 2016. The off road triathlete is a different breed. They're more social, more laid back, one might say more fun than the average triathlete. They compete for the adventure and excitement, and they need specific content geared toward their interests.
"We want to embrace all those factors that make off road multisport so much more than a sub-category of triathlon and continue to grow and advocate for what we believe is indeed the future of triathlon."
According to DirtTRI.com – off road, or cross triathlon, most commonly associated with XTERRA (the sport of off-road triathlon's largest brand), represents 30-45% of the triathlon demographic and potentially millions of athletes globally.
The media outlet adds that off road triathlon has also been the fastest growing segment of triathlon for over a decade. This is emphasized by International Triathlon Union President, Marisol Casado's statement at the 2015 Cross Triathlon World Championship, "Cross triathlon will be the future for the ITU".

Jobs for teachers from Serbia
I saw that teachers from Serbia are wanted in China,USA and Japan. Some Chinese and Japanese schools looks for English teachers from Serbia. Schools in the USA look for Math teachers. I checked on Internet what teachers say about jobs in China and Japan. Some of them were scammed by agencies which looks for teachers. Others are not satisfied. I don't know if I should go teaching outside of Serbia. I should firstly learn language spoken in area where I go. I must know educational system in the country where I work. Some people go to work in other countries without thinking. They read or hear about good salaries in some countries and don't think about living, safety, conditions of work there.

In History, we've been discussing Henry Ford and how he revolutionized transportation with the implementation of the assembly line in the creation of his cars.
Here's a video that briefly explains the genius behind the assembly line and how it made cars more economically and efficiently:
I decided to put our learning into action by using the assembly line format to make cars...made completely out of CANDY!
Yes, yes, I know - I'm the coolest teacher ever :)
Here are the supplies you will need for each car:
*You'll also need some glue dots to stick
all of the different parts together.
Here's a diagram of the completed "car"
I had the supplies organized ahead of time in buckets for each "assembly line worker":
We divided into "factories" and each student got a "job."
They did their job and then passed on the "car" to the next student down the line.
They did their job and then passed on the "car" to the next student down the line.
The gummy bears weren't part of the original diagram, but I think adding a 20th century driver to our Model T was a nice touch :)
This was the final product:
The kids took their "cars" home and were only allowed to eat them after they told their parents 5 facts about early transportation and Henry Ford's Model T!
Definitely a memorable day in fifth grade! :)
Here's an image if you'd like to pin this idea for later:

Baby Campbell
I got SUCH great news this morning – Caitlin and Jeff are expecting their first little one in March. SOOO excited for them. Caitlin would like to have you make a baby quilt, since you're so great at them. 🙂 We'll need to discuss what she's looking for . . . but I found a few online that I thought I would share to start the discussion!
Look at this one – it's a Boston Terrier quilt (she has one as well, as you know)! I don't think she'll go for this one, but the doggie is so adorable.
Here are a few others I found. She loves animals, so you'll see that as a theme. 🙂
How beautiful is this for a little girl? Such a nice piece to base a room off of.
Serena and Lily is my all time favorite children's room designer. Not only because I love their simple, classic style but I also love their creators, who always attend our conferences.
How beautiful are these rooms!?
I'm also slightly obsessed with this nursery in Boston that Erin from EOS recently posted. One of her readers has been inspired by her and wanted her to see the finished product. The color scheme came from the painting above the crib that her mother found at a yard sale for $40!
I'm SO SO SO excited for them! Caitlin is going to be the best mom. Yay!
Speaking of babies . . . guess who is turning 1 on Sept 3rd? The cutest little girl on the planet.

Kérastase has just announced that the most prestigious universal fashion icon, Kate Moss, will be the face of its very first styling collection.
The British top model, ambassador to many fashion and beauty brands, will represent for the first time the image of a luxury hair-care brand.
The alliance of Kérastase's high expertise and Kate's audacious glamour will change the way styling is perceived, celebrating hair moving freely and the pleasure of high tech, sensual textures.
On the advertising set and in the hands of her friend Luigi Murenu, studio hairdresser and Artistic Director of this new range, the long hair of Kate was sculpted, wavy or curly, with oversized volume or free flowing energy, over changing but always gorgeous. With Kérastase, her hair is more sublime than ever, revealing all the facets of this unique personality of the fashion world.
This K Manifeste signed by Kérastase and Kate Moss announces the creation of a new era in styling: the era of « Couture Styling ».
The advertising campaign will be available as of May 2013 but for now you can check out the making of the ad campaign below.

Butch Young "Mercury Man" Review
From Butch Young comes the independent release "Mercury Man". Butch has put together a collection of songs worth considering.
On first listen, the influence of the fab four is evident. But while others emulate a more "pre-psychedelic" Beatles sound, Butch immerses himself in the feel of the Beatles more experimental phase complete with orchestration.
"Persephone" features a slide guitar reminiscent of George Harrison's solos, a solo heard, but not overpowering. "One Foot In" starts with an acapella set of vocals, whose sound is as if the Beatles were attempting a Beach Boys session. The horns in the background help fill out the track and compliment it's "Penny Lane" feel.
"Sunday Driver", another bouncy track begins with what is either trumpet or french horn lending a little Burt Bacharach feel which soon gives way to everpresent Beatles theme.
I always like to close with a little suggestion of something I would have liked to have heard but didn't. I would like to have heard a little more range in the vocals. I would liked to have heard Butch stretch out a little more, a few more higher range vocals would have increased the catchiness of the vocals.
All in all a great effort and worth checking out! You can purchase and listen through Butch's bandcamp link below:

The Empty Hearts- Top Down, Late Summer Fun!
Are you looking for some late summer, top down, hard driving power pop? If so, do yourself a favor and check out the Empty Hearts. Wally Palmar (The Romantics), Elliot Easton (The Cars), Clem Burke (Blondie), and Andy Babiuk (The Chesterfield Kings) have the cure for what ails your late summer doldrums.
The disc kicks off with a rousing, raucous chorus of guitars and an opening hook filled "Na Na" chant guaranteed to stick like glue to the brain. "90 Miles An Hour (Down A Dead End Street" is a fine choice for an opening song. Wally Palmar weaves the melody with so much confidence it's as though he's still at his "Talking In Your Sleep" peak.
"I Don't Want Your Love (If You Don't Want Me)" starts with a blues lick from Easton, but quickly turns into a mid-tempo anthem, complete with group vocal shouts. If the Dave Clark Five had recorded this song in the 60's, it would've easily been their biggest hit. The ease with which Elliot Easton changes from his previous meticulously crafted Cars' solos to the current rough edged solos is quite remarkable.
With the next track, "I See No Way Out", I am immediately transported back to the first time I spun the Romantics album "National Breakout" back in the 80's. This tune would've fit quite well within the grooves of that vinyl.
"Fill An Empty Heart" gives the listener a chance to catch their breath. This ballad, which starts with a Zombies like bass line, goes down like a spoonful of honey. Lots of smooth background vocals add the perfect compliment to Palmar's lead vocals.
At first I thought the next track, "Soul Deep", was going to be a cover of the Box Tops hit, However I was pleasantly surprised to find it's another Empty Hearts rocking original.
"Loud And Clear" is more pure rock than power pop during the intro and first verse, but as the chorus bursts through, the catchy harmonies are revealed as pure power pop.
"Perfect World" finds the band dipping into some social commentary without being too heavy handed. "I Found You" explores it's country ballad roots with the clever guitar work of Easton. "Just A Little Too Hard" and "Drop Me Off At Home" crank up the decibels again, with the latter finding it's best Jagger/Richards groove. "Jealousy" brings the harmonica back to the forefront, while "Meet Me 'Round The Corner" closes the album with attitude to let you know they aren't driving off into the sunset, they are only beginning their journey.
Overall I definitely recommend this release. Modern power pop that's not afraid to wear its influences on its sleeve. This will surely bring a smile to every fan of the genre.
The album releases officially August 5th via 429 Records and is available for pre-order now at Amazon.

The Hot Dates- Complete (Boston Powerpop)
For those who've never heard the Hot Dates, it doesn't get any better than this. Great songs and production, it's a shame they didn't go far. I've made the whole album, plus their 1978 single available to listen to in it's entirety at YouTube.

Dart : Dead or on Bullseye?
[Image source : pixabay.com]
Around late 2013, Google announced 1.0 of its own programming language Dart targeted initially at the web. But since then, it didn't receive much attention like other modern programming languages. A bunch of enthusiasts started using it and found it interesting. But as it was targeted against the web (and therefore the javascript) initially, it also received much hate. Some people also marked it dead. In late 2014, I picked it up and just did some experiments for a while. It is truly a cool language from a Java background. In this post, I will express some of my opinions about what went wrong with the language, what is still good and why the language still has the potential. It may be more opinioned and it is how I feel about the language.
What went wrong
Targeting the only web
Initially, Dart was targeted 'only for the web'. This strategy didn't work fine. The web development community is horribly fragmented. Also, nobody wanted another language in the web community. There are dozens of programming languages that compile to Javascript like CoffeScript, TypeScript, Scala.js, PureScript, Elm, Haxe, etc. Dart has no reason to be chosen over all of these.
Misunderstood Type System
Type systems are always a matter of controversy in programming languages. Many people would agree that dynamic typing makes programmers productive but when it comes to scalability in software, static typing is necessary. Everyone love experimenting at first. Static typing makes experimenting hard. Everyone need scalability at last. Dynamic typing makes it clumsy.
Dart's type system is cool. It has an optional type system where you can start with loose typing and then specify the types later. The real benefit of it is that you can gradually evolve programs. At first, you can start prototyping without types and then add types later.
However, the type system was initially marketed like a combination of JavaScript and Java. Of course, Dart has Javascript-like syntax and Java-like standard libraries but the goal of optional type system was clearly not that. Many devs thought of the language as some sort of combination of Java and JavaScript. Of course, anyone would not want to put their efforts or money to learn or use a combination of two another languages. Instead, why not they just learn those languages?
Javascript-like syntax
Dart creators said that as they are targeting for the web, they wanted to keep the syntax familiar to Javascript developers. JavaScript has the syntax similar to languages like C, Java and C#. They are all old languages. Of Course, there are many improvements in Dart like good functional and async support etc. But there are no syntax improvements.
Instead, with that verbose and old syntax, Dart feels boring. There are numerous things still needs to be improved in the language itself. The braces for named parameters and square brackets for optional parameters feels ugly and unreadable. Many modern languages like Swift , Kotlin and Go did a good job of removing unreadable and repetitive stuff like ternary expressions and prefix increment decrement operators. There is inconsistency even in type names. Is there a reason for writing String in upper case and int in lowercase even if they all are objects? Why there are numbers and integers both? The underscores for private members suck. Most modern languages give importance to the readability of programs more than writing. Tiny details are important. If everything is put in a language has no solid reason for doing that, that's a bad thing.
What is still good
Standard Libraries
Dart SDK provides a complete standard library with built-in collections, futures, streams, asynchrony and much more. So, you don't have to rely on any external modules to do basic (probably most) things. This is also true for any programming language born at Google, take Go for example.
Dart plug-in for IntelliJ IDEA community edition works fine. Tools for the formatting and analysing code – dartfmt and dartanalyzer are also available. The Dart Observatory is really a big deal.
Starting with Dart is easy. I like getting started fast and experiment a lot. Fairly, I like the idea of an optional type system. Optional typing helps a lot here. With all the built-in libraries and good tools, it is easy to build a good app without bothering yourself about searching libraries for basic things. Experimenting is always fun without those type-heavy systems and later I can turn those experiments into structured programs, which is really a cool thing about Dart.
Dart is a very productive programming language and has a great potential but a bunch of bad decisions and circumstances turned the language away from being popular. Dart was always designed as a 'general-purpose' programming language. Dart creators have already realised these things and Dart now wants to take on all the client-side development including browsers, mobile platforms and embedded devices. As the language has already failed to meet the expectations, there is a good room for improvement. At this moment, Flutter and Dartino are being mature and we just heard a brand new mysterious OS named Fuchsia that will use Dart as a front-end for building apps. Dart developer summit 2016 is nearby in October and we can hope to see what is next. Personally, I am excited about Dart 2.0.

Alton Meeks had the dream of every high school quarterback in his hand: a scholarship offer from a BCS program. The chance to be Cincinnati�s quarterback of the future was a reality. Meeks verballed to the Bearcats.
But the Dr. Phillips (Fla.) standout isn�t your typical quarterback.
In fact, he might be the only one in the country to turn down the opportunity to be a quarterback so he could play linebacker. That�s what he did this week when he switched his verbal commitment to Iowa State.
And the story of him deciding to do switch positions in college is almost as unheard of as a quarterback passing on the chance to throw passes at the BCS-level.
Meeks entered his 2012 football season with a plan. He would give quarterback one chance to and see what happened.
It didn�t matter that he verbally committed to Cincinnati to play quarterback well before the season started.
Meeks wasn�t really sold on quarterback as the position of his future. Not after playing through an injury his junior year. It wasn�t a fond memory for him, not with the months of rehab that followed after the season.
The injury forced Meeks to miss out on the prestigious Elite 11 camp and other various summer camps that help high school players land scholarships at big-time schools.
He was hearing from several schools that wanted him to play linebacker, a position he discovered late in his junior year. He only played three-and-a-half games there, but was his team�s third leading tackler at the end of the season. He kind of liked it.
He came into the fall torn on which position to play in college. In the second game of the season his decision was made for him. He broke his leg. Even though the injury wasn�t career threatening, Meeks knew he was done with quaterback.
�Everything happens for a reason,� Meeks said. �This was God saying, �Go play linebacker.��
So linebacker it would be.
Meeks knew his position. He just needed to find his new home. He decommitted from Cincinnati and opened up his recruitment again.
He received double-digit scholarship offers, including from Florida State, Arizona State, Michigan State, Pitt and USF.
But he kept coming back to ISU. Olympia (Fla.) offensive lineman Shawn Curtis, his friend and fellow Orlando prospect, committed to the Cyclones. He spent time as a child living in Iowa. Plus, one of his old wrestling buddies, Kyven Gadson, was grappler at ISU.
If he was to become a Cyclone, though, he needed to act fast. And he knew it.
�Scholarships were going quick,� Meeks said. �I had a decision to make. This was a good opportunity and I couldn�t pass it up.�
He verballed to ISU head coach Paul Rhoads and offensive coordinator Courtney Messingham during a home visit on Tuesday.
So the quarterback chose to play linebacker. He�s happy with the decision.
Now, Meeks is preparing to enroll in January to get a head start on the rest of the 2013 freshman class. He knows he needs it with his limited experience at the position.
�Linebacker is all instinct,� Meeks said. �It�s toughness and work ethic. I picked that up as a high school wrestler. Iowa State thinks I can be a good linebacker and now I have to get in there and get some reps.�

MSI Z97 Gaming 5 Motherboard Review
Published: 3rd June 2014 | Source: MSI | Price: |
Moving away from the 3D tests to the pure clock speed ones, the Gaming 5 rapidly drops down our graphs. It's all extremely close, so although it's positioned near the bottom in actual result terms there is very little in it. Indeed if we sorted by zLib then the Gaming 5 would be at the top. The memory bandwidth is similar, although here the Maximus VII Hero definitely has the march on the other Z97s.

Mithali Raj is positive about India women's team performance in the upcoming ICC Women's World T20. Raj thinks India can be a surprise element in the tournament which will be held in November.
Recently, the India women's team scripted history as they beat South Africa women by 54 runs in the fifth and final T20I to register a double series win on the South African tour.
Led by Harmanpreet Kaur, India were too good for the South Africa women's team. They outclassed the Dane van Niekerk-led team, bowling them out for 112 to lift the T20 series trophy by a margin of 3-1 in the five-match series.
"The team still requires a lot of hard work in a lot of areas when it comes to the T20 format. We have been very good in the one-day format, but the way the girls have responded to this format in South Africa, I think there is a lot of scope that we can be a surprise element in the World T20," Raj, 35, told ESPN Cricinfo.
"Now people back home are keen to watch on television, they want to know what the Indian women's team is doing in South Africa.
"It is just unfortunate the one-dayers weren't televised but I am happy the T20s were televised and we have given a very good result. So, getting back home, we have the tri-series against Australia and England, which is again going to be televised so I am hoping all of you will get glued to the TV and start cheering for India," the veteran batswoman added.
The veteran cricketer revealed that having reliable batswomen around helped sharing her burden. After Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur and Veda Krishnamurthy, India has found a new pillar. The 17-year old Jemimah Rodrigues looked promising in the recently concluded South Africa tour.
"Yes, that has helped my batting, knowing that the team is not completely dependent on me," she said.
"I can at times take that initiative to try out a few strokes in the middle, without getting bothered if I get out. I am very happy that we have more than one or two match-winners in the squad. That makes it a very strong squad."
Raj, who scored most runs (192) in the T20I series against South Africa, said she isn't a fan of T20.
"Honestly, I am not someone who is very fond of the T20 format. But since I am preparing for the T20 World Cup, it was important for me to start scoring runs in this format to gain that momentum. I am very happy that this series has given me that confidence that I can be a T20 player.
"It is a conscious effort to turn my game so that I can get used to the T20 format because as an opener it is important that I have all-round shots and also see that aerial route, because the first six overs are crucial so you can give a start to the team."
The 2018 ICC Women's World Twenty20 will be hosted in the West Indies from 9 to 24 November 2018. India had reached Semi Final in first two World T20 (2009 and 2010). But they have a poor record in last three World T20s. They got eliminated from Group Stage in 2012, 2014 and 2016.

Andrei called us last minute with a concerned voice. It had been a long time since his entire family has been all together but the stars aligned and everyone was in town for the weekend. He did not want to let this opportunity to go by without getting family pictures. The only day that worked for both of us was one where we had another shoot later that afternoon. It was going to be a tight squeeze but we didn't want this family bonding moment to go by without being documented!
We were all set to meet at the National Arboretum -- a favorite location of ours -- to photograph the ten-member Barros family until we saw the forecast! The night before the shoot, the weather channel warned of scattered thunderstorms. We did not want to take any chances when it comes to lightning so we switched to an indoor setting. We met at Studio Arto instead of the outdoor location. The studio is easily accessible and allows the little ones to take a stroll while the adults were modeling for our lenses. It was a relaxed setting and a great family dynamic. Everyone was up for goofing off a bit which made for memorable family moments. How about you? When was the last time you documented your growing family or had updated your family album? Make sure not to leave anyone behind!
