First things first: The Front Bottoms aren't all that good. Sorry. But their newest album, Going Grey, is somehow the best album of 2017 anyway (sorry Harry Styles, I still love you). A band hailing from the great state of New Jersey, The Front Bottoms have created a following made up of the entire intersection of the Guys with Beards Who Wear Flannel and Fourteen Year-Old Girls Who Smoke Cigarettes venn diagram. In a nutshell, lead vocalist Brian Sella delivers lyrics with a voice anyone would not be surprised to learn comes from a dude named Brian, but that only seems to contribute to the greater lethargic effect exuded by the instrumentals. None of this should work, but it does.

The queen of haute-couture rebellion, Lady Gaga, has reentered the pop music scene with possibly her most personal album yet: Joanne.

We see a departure from this classic strategy with Joanne, instead replaced with intimate songs about family, religion, and relationships.
Album Review: Helplessness Blues by Fleet Foxes
The first time I listened this album, I was still at home, driving around town with my best friend the day before he left for college. I would soon fly across the ocean. We were in my dusty car, driving down a wide, empty highway that traced though miles and miles of cornfields. It was over one hundred degrees outside and my shoulders were bare, soaking in the sun that pierced through my car window; my sunglasses were on. This mellow, sublime album was the perfect anthem for cruising on a hot Alabama afternoon, with just enough tinge of sadness to make the inevitable goodbyes that were fast approaching even more poignant.

NBA Basketball
Spurs will be ready for surging 76ers
NBA Headlines

Wins by the San Antonio Spurs over Philadelphia have been almost as regular and inescapable as death and income taxes over the past 30 years, but the 76ers have a chance to erase a lot of those bad memories when the teams square off Friday at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas.
Philadelphia has won eight of its past 10 games this season but hasn't defeated the Spurs in the Alamo City since January 2004, a stretch of 13 straight games, and has won only once in San Antonio since 1986.
San Antonio comes into Friday's game off impressive wins over Cleveland at home Tuesday and at Memphis on Wednesday, even though the Spurs had players out for injury and rest in both contests.
In Wednesday's 108-85 victory against the Grizzlies, San Antonio played without leading scorer and All-Star reserve LaMarcus Aldridge, who was left back in the Alamo City to rest after he lead the Spurs to the win over the Cavaliers the night before.
San Antonio found plenty of volunteers to take up the scoring role with Aldridge out, as eight players -- led by Patty Mills' 15 points off the bench and Pau Gasol's 14 points, 15 rebounds and nine assists -- tallied in double figures in the win in the ultimate example of balanced scoring.
"When (Aldridge is) not in the lineup, we just try to maybe create more ball movement, more motion, more flow and then the offense balances itself out," Gasol said after the win over the Grizzlies. "We shared the ball; it was great ball movement, 29 assists, a lot of guys in double figures."
Dejounte Murray scored 11 points and dished out a career-high seven assists; the latter will be his primary role now that he's assumed the starting point guard nod from veteran Tony Parker.
San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said Parker has accepted the change and has been a mentor for Murray, who started his third straight game at the point Wednesday.
"(Parker) thought it was good for the team to give Dejounte a chance to see what he could do," Popovich said. "He was mature, and really made it easy on me to make a decision like that. He was fantastic."
The 76ers head to the Alamo City for the only time this season on the heels of a 115-101 home thumping of Chicago on Wednesday. Philadelphia shot 52 percent from the field and 16 of 32 from the 3-point line and never looked in danger after leading by as many as 16 points late in the second quarter.
The 76ers have a team that can end their swoon in San Antonio based on the fact that Philadelphia beat the Spurs earlier this season and because of its set of budding superstars.
Joel Embiid, who will start the All-Star Game, led the 76ers in scoring against Chicago with 22 points, Dario Saric added 21 points with 10 rebounds and Robert Covington chipped in with 16 points.
Even with those impressive performances, Wednesday's game belonged to Ben Simmons, who racked up a triple-double of 19 points with 17 rebounds and 14 assists.
"Ben rebounded and instigated a lot himself," 76ers coach Brett Brown said after the win over Chicago. "He was able to control stuff when he rebounds, he can rebound and takeoff. I still think that is the hardest thing to guard -- that the style of the game, rebounding. It allowed him to put his thumbprint on this game in a big way early."
The 76ers' resurgence is one of the hottest topics in the NBA and rightfully so. Philadelphia is 9-3 since Christmas Day, two games better than .500 for the season, and outscoring opponents by eight points a night. They have two of the brightest young stars in the sport, conducts of a system that has turned the team from doormat to must-see.
"The pain that we endured is actually producing some fruits of our pain," Brown said after the win over the Bulls.

Dermaroller is the secret weapon that Angelina Jolie uses for her perfect complexion.
Dermarolling is otherwise called Medical Micro Needling, which describes perfectly the actual procedure of this rejuvenating treatment. The best thing about the process is that it is natural and does not imply the use of any injectable beauty products. It helps the skin of your face and body improve on its own, ensuring a safe rejuvenating result.
You can use dermarollers to address various aesthetic issues, such as:
- acne scars and hyperpigmentation,
- aging and sun-damaged skin,
- fine lines and deeper wrinkles,
- cellulitis and stretch marks,
- hair loss and sagging skin.
Depending on the issue that you want to address, you will need to buy online a dermaroller with a specific length of needles. On Anna's Cosmetics, I offer you a dermaroller, which works great for self-use and provides a comfortable distribution of additional beauty products, if you choose to use any.
As you move the roller, it makes almost unnoticeable microscopic punctures in your skin. This boosts the ability of your skin to produce more collagen and elastin, and promotes new cells generation. Of course, depending on your personal sensitivity, you might need to use an effective numbing cream before you start the treatment. In fact, it is better to use it every time to reduce unpleasant sensations. If you tried the numbing cream offered on Anna's Cosmetics, and it has proven to work great on you, better stick to it during the following treatments to avoid any possibility of an unpleasant reaction to a different product.
To achieve great and lasting results, people usually need to have 3 to 4 sessions. Depending on the length of the needles used, treatments can be made with an interval of 1 to 8 weeks. It is important to maintain the required intervals in order to get the best results and avoid any unpleasant outcomes.
If you are willing to get the best possible results of dermarolling treatments, better combine them with Dermaheal Meso-Cocktails (see above) or Restylane Skinboosters. Since dermarollers help enhance the action of rejuvenating products, your skin gets even more useful elements while having its own collagen production boosted in the most natural and safest way possible.
You can buy both the dermaroller and appropriate rejuvenating products right here, on Anna's Cosmetics, and you will get them nicely packaged to your doorstep within the shortest possible time.

When it comes to the foreclosure settlement agreements and the insufficient punishment of the responsible lenders, it would seem as though it could not possibly get worse. Apparently the lack of attention to detail continues.
Compensation Checks are a Disappointment
Once the agreements were reached and there was a realization that the Independent Foreclosure Review process was completely unsuccessful – again due to unethical lenders –checks were finally going to be sent out to the victims. However, once these checks started hitting the mailboxes of many of the recipients, the dissatisfaction was obvious with many people only receiving $300 in compensation.
Even the ridiculously-low settlement compensation checks for those who had lost their home due to wrongful lender actions was not a huge surprise. In fact, many people even suspected that the insufficient payments led many homeowners to simply refuse to cash the checks. However, it appears as though that was simply an assumption, with the real reason now being revealed.
Foreclosure Settlement Checks Sent Out with Incorrect Addresses
Now, the truth comes out and yet again there was an effort in this already completely botched attempt to compensate the victims. Apparently 400,000 checks (or one in every ten) were mailed out with incorrect addresses. That's right – even after the unethical lender actions and the bounced checks, now the issue involves incorrect addresses.
This may very well be the reason that only $2.5 billion of the $3.9 billion that was sent out has actually been cashed. Therefore, 10% of the checks that were sent out came back due to incorrect addresses.
From lender actions that ultimately resulted in many people wrongfully losing their homes to insufficient payments and now bouncing and returned checks, it is safe to say that this entire process from start to finish has been a complete disaster. Unfortunately, this new news shows that at least 400,000 people are waiting on their compensation checks – still.
At the end of the day, all things seem possible when it comes to the foreclosure settlement process. Hopefully, these checks will be sent to the correct recipients soon and once received the victims are finally able to cash these much-deserved payments. In short, even years after the real estate market crash, families are still facing foreclosures and victims are still awaiting compensation.

Dinka culture does not practice and encourage auction of Dinka Girls as claimed by some feminists, media outlets and activists: A Case of Nyalong Ngong Deng from Awerial County of Eastern Lakes State
By Ustaz Abraham Mabior Rioc, Hong Kong, China
Wednesday, January 02, 2019 (PW) — In the past few months of October, November, and December 2018, the alleged auction of Nyalong Ngong Deng went viral on the social and international media outlets preached and entertained by some feminist campaigners and civil society-based activists. The misconception of the marriage that was labeled as auction as well as the girl being considered underage was furiously condemned at local, national, and international levels and the government was urged to investigate the matter.
As far as freedom of speech and expression is concerned in South Sudan, it is not bad for one to express his or her viewpoints on the prevailing social, political and economic issues besetting the nation. However, what is required is a professional code of conduct that guides the freedom of speech locally and internationally. With no doubt, I have been a feminist by practice and advocacy, nevertheless, I am so cognizant about my professional conduct that does not allow me to invade the privacy of any community member or organization.
With regards to expressing one's views, it should be noted that keeping your argument in check with one's privacy is a prerequisite of freedom of speech. This means that a writer, an activist, or any other concerned person in the community or outside should not interfere or invade one's privacy just like the case of Nyalong Ngong Deng and her families. I would like to acknowledge that freedom of expression is fundamentally important, but it requires every profession to consult the concerned elders or community before making any information public.
The feminist activists who tirelessly fought against the marriage of Nyalong did not even consult the family or elders of that community where Nyalong hails or the legal authority of South Sudan regarding the alleged girl's auction that took place in South Sudan recently.
Based on my argument, I have observed and noted with concern regarding the attack of the privacy of Nyalong and the wrong term 'auction' used to describe the marriage process. In the first place, the term auction was wrongly used in the context of Nyalong in particular and the entire Dinka community in general. In purely cultural terms, I view it as an insult to the community as well as being a misplaced expression by the public and independent activists and freelance writers to go against community's culture.
According to Oxford Dictionary, auction means a public sale in which goods or property are sold to the highest bidder in an open market. Based on the current and previous perceptions of the activists and the wider community as well, they now believe that marriage of Nyalong Ngong Deng was officially announced on social media particularly on Facebook by the parents. That means it was an auction opened to the general public aimed at selecting the best bidder to take Nyalong as his wife after managing to pay the prescribed bride price that was put to be 500 cows, 3 V8s, and 10,000 us dollars.
As far as my argument on Nyalong's case is concerned, I would like to politely clarify not as a family member but as a concerned South Sudanese from Dinka tribe who is so proud about my culture that is being tainted by such negative perception. I would like to categorically put it that Nyalong Ngong Deng was not officially auctioned off for marriage in social media against her will as claimed by some media outlets and feminist activists.
In purely Dinka matrimonial terms, marriage is a union between the couples on one hand, and their immediate families on the other hand who agree on certain cultural terms and norms. This implies that any decision taken with regards to its cultural practices such as the case of Nyalong is based on the collective decisions that accommodate all the views of every family member. This means that the marriage of Nyalong was not done in isolation of her views and the viewpoints of her siblings, close and distance relatives.
In this setting, it is mistakenly preconceived that Dinka girls in South Sudan are treated as commodities and property to be priced in order to get wealth in form of bride price at the expenses of the poor underage girls. To my best knowledge and to the experiences of other concerned members of the Dinka community in South Sudan, it is against Dinka culture to auction off human being in public media leave alone the auctioning of a girl such as the alleged case of Nyalong.
It has never happened and cannot and will never happen in the history of Dinka as asserted by the media outlets. Of course, marriage is a common habitual practice which is based on the decisions of the parents of the broom and the bride and is non-questionable according to our cultural obligations and practice.
In a similar vein, another assertion explicated by the activists which amounts to invading of Nyalong's privacy and her families is the issue of underage that was said to be16 or 17 years old. In fact, it is one of the legal duties of the government of South Sudan to protect the underage girls from being married off. However, the case of Nyalong substantiates the fact that the parents are convinced of their daughter of not being underage by the time of the marriage, yet the activists and other media houses insist that she was underaged of 17 years old.
By insisting that Nyalong is underage hitherto, she is not your daughter whom should have full knowledge of her age. In this context, if I may ask what proves that Nyalong was underage by the time of her marriage? Who among the activists or advocates that possess Nyalong's birth certificate? Or who happens to be one of the immediate family members, father or mother to prove this claim to the general public that Nyalong was underage? I am sure, none of the activists would raise his or her hands up to provide the distinct evidence with regards to Nyalong's correct age.
Surprisingly, the activists went far to post the pictures of Nyalong and her family on social media against her consent. Such inacceptable remarks to expose one's age, pictures of her and the husband to the media without her consent or the consent of the family is a clear violation of family's right to privacy. In reality, it violates one's rights to privacy and diminish the facts on which Dinka cultural practices are traditionally based. In fact, the falsification and rumors that went viral on social media at local and international arena caused more harm than good to the Dinka culture in particular and other Nilotic tribes who practice this episode in general.
Notwithstanding, it is true that Dinka girls just like any other girls from Nilotic communities in South Sudan and elsewhere in the world are not taken for granted. However, a prescribed payment of dowry is customarily required and arranged based on mutual understanding reached between the two families. In the same note, what matters is not the dowry to be paid to the parents but the future of the girl whether the suitor is the right person to handle and take care of the girl or not. In reality, Dinka community is not a bride price-minded community for your information.
It is a community that is proud of its exceptional culture and the issue of the bride price comes the last option. As such, this is not just a coin practice of the present generation, but it has been in existence since time immemorial which are in line with the Dinka cultural strategy to respect and observe the fervent and ancestral obligations. This points to the fact that Dinka culture is unique, and we see no reason why they should be erased by our confused generation of today which is about to lose its cultural impulses in substitution and appreciation of western and eastern cultural orientations.
By and large, Dinka is one of the tribes in South Sudan which places more emphasis on respect of its cultural values in all spheres of life. Indeed, Dinka community strictly observing its cultural obligations without causing harm and disgruntles its entire membership. Needless to say, Dinka community just like any other tribe in South Sudan values and gives every member of its composition equal status of respect, recognition, behavior, irrespective of gender, religion, economic, and political affiliations. In the same breath, Dinka still accords equal prominence and sympathy to its members both inside and outside South Sudan with regards to cultural and economic run-through.
Substantially, little education we have acquired, or we are still acquiring should not make us lose our cultural principles on the ground that we should negatively criticize our cultural commitments. Given this fact, it should be borne in mind that the members of Dinka community have their own cultural decisions and practices which do not come out the blue, but they are based on one's respect, obedience, and close observance of cultural entities. This calls for activists and other human rights to strict to the norms of their professions in a manner that respects other people's cultures.
Indeed, the image of the Dinka as a community and its cultural obligations are tarnished and stained by those who translated the marriage of Nyalong as an auction as well as being labelled as an underaged girl married against her choice. To base my arguments on prevailing facts, it could be acknowledged that most of the world cultures are dynamic, diverse, and unique in their own accords based on the cultural protocols to which they are exercised. Centered on my experiences, I have travelled to some European, Asian and African countries, however; I found out that their cultures are practiced and respected based on the directives and decisions of the respective communities in which their cultural commitments with payment of dowry is still a preconditioned solitary.
In fact, some families prefer the wedding of their daughters while others opt for dowry payment just as like what had happened to Nyalong and her family. Why does that cause an alarm or criticism to the local and international media when the parents of Nyalong opted for dowry payment? In every region or community, cultural practices differ, and people should react without interfering in one's privacy like posting images of the girl and the husband in social media.
In the west, one's privacy is a concerned issue that people should not joke with and it is punishable by law. Why is it not in South Sudan particularly in the case of Nyalong and her husband, Kok Alat? This puts the big question mark on us as south Sudanese intellectuals and the feminist activities that we are not culturally mature and intellectually mellow to respect our cultures.
Conversely, I may admit that there are some cultural practices which are harmful to our intellectual and personal growth that we need to change. These include scarifications on men's foreheads, removing lowering teeth as well as marrying off the underaged girls which all need to be outlawed. However, to do this it needs us to go slow by establishing schools and other income-generating activities in those communities and then sensitize the people about the importance of education. By doing so will help us adjust to our cultural orientations that are gender-discriminatory rather than going to the media and openly criticizing their practices in a more radical approach that cannot create a positive impact at all.
In fact, my conversation with one of my professors who happen to be from the west gave me an overview on how some of our cultures need to be approached for change. The professor told me that African cultures are very rich and unique in this contemporary world. However, with regards to marrying a girl based on the decisions of the family and the community requires a mannered approach to revisit what that particular culture perceives about it before taking any action. She told me that every community culture rises above the law and it is very hard to break the culture using the law that is adopted by the state in which its authority comes from the community itself.
By gauging her comments and arguments, I was made to believe that the professor is right and preventing the local people from what they are depending for livelihoods amounts to torturing their well-being in this present-day hostile environment where poverty is widening its horizons. With the family of Nyalong being isolated from the towns and none of her family member is educated, they can survive through other means such as dowry payment to their beloved sister which is an inevitable to Dinka culture.
It is true that all girls in Dinka fetch a lot of cattle herd unless a girl is termed as slay queen in that respect in which people undervalue her in relation to unbecoming behaviors attached to her characters. Such a term of a slay queen carries a lot of meanings that are against the Dinka cultural norms. For this reason, she does not longer deserve equal respect and status with the girls who are officially married and honorably given to their respective husbands with a more blessing and best wishes from their beloved families on both sides.
In this spirit, some western cultures do not treat girls as property to be sold, simply because some of them are better off with life unlike the developing countries. In fact, some of the western cultures are worth-appreciating while others may not be applicable to our context due to weak leadership, wide spread poverty, high rate of illiteracy, lack of sensitization of the members of the communities, just to mention a few. Nonetheless, taking radical changes in the community's cultures may cause more harm than good to the community especially in a current situation where most of the community members standstill on a battle-ready due to the presence of firearms in the hands of the untrained youth who need to be mobilized and enlightened about the danger of some cultural practices.
Being cognizant that Dinka girls are not offered for sale in the public forum as claimed by some activists, it remains critical that the case of Nyalong was taken out of context. To my understanding, she was ready to be married and the approach of the first suitor attracted the attention of the other who might have had interest in her. As such, the second and the third suitors also joined the open indoor dialogue on the basis of parent-to-parent discussion as it has always been done in the Dinka way of life.
As time and conversation went on, the competition ensued in which the best suitor known as Kok Alat from Bor Community of Jonglei State emerged as the winner to marry Nyalong Ngong Deng based on the decision reached by consensus on both sides. Grounded on the cultural arrangements of marriage, what is wrong with this marriage process? As a matter of fact, such cultural arrangements of the marriage have been in existence and will continue to be in the future history of Dinka. This is considered to be a normal procedural arrangement of marriages rather than now being translated as an intentional auction of human being just tarnish the good image of Dinka community. The rest is history. Stay blessed.

You are not logged in.
Ok, this RPG has no rules, except for the following 3:
1. Obviously, all forum rules apply.
2. All players are restricted to no more than 0 characters. No exceptions.
3. No powerplaying. (Duh.)
There are no signups, just add in characters whenever you want, as long as you don't exceed the limit at any time.
Well, since the RPG has no possible way of progressing from here, I guess I'll just request that it be closed tomorrow.

[ALERT] Skyrim Dragonborn DLC Available Before February For Pre-Order (PC)
Bethesda's Skyrim Dragonborn DLC for the PC is almost upon us and fans will be happy to know that they can pre-order it on Steam right now.
Skyrim Dragonborn DLC available now for pre-order via Steam (PC)
The DLC has been on pre-order over the weekend, which is little more than one weekend until the DLC will be available for download. There doesn't appear to be any bonus when you pre-order it.
Dragonborn will cost you $19.99 and some may think the price is a little high. However those who have been playing it on the Xbox 360 have said that the game is great. You will have to leave Skyrim and head to Solstheim in the DLC, which is just to the north of Tamriel, it is actually north of Morrowind, which is where the 3rd DLC takes place.
In the Skyrim DLC you will have to meet the first Dragonborn, collect new items and weapons and battle with new enemies. Fans of Skyrim will tell you that Dragonborn is worth the high price and so it does seem to be a great add-on, more so than Dawnguard and Hearthfire were.
Dragonborn will be available from 5th February for the PC. After months of waiting owners of the PS3 will be getting their hands on the DLC next month too, followed by Dawnguard and Hearthfire. PS3 fans don't have a fixed release date yet.

LUSAKA, Zambia (CNS) — Zambians are living in fear as police brutality increases and the southern African country approaches dictatorship, Zambia's Catholic bishops said.
The bishops "are deeply saddened" by police officers' "unprofessional and brutal conduct," arbitrary arrests, "horrific torture of suspects," and the "careless, inflammatory and divisive statements of our political leaders," Archbishop Telesphore Mpundu of Lusaka, president of the bishops' conference, said in an April 23 statement.
"Anyone who criticizes the government for wrongdoing is sure to have the police unleashed on him or her," the statement said.
Zambia's main opposition leader, Hakainde Hichilema, was arrested and charged with treason for failing to move off the road for President Edgar Lungu's motorcade in early April.
The charge allows no bail and can carry the death penalty.
While the bishops "do not in any way condone illegality," they "deplore the massive, disproportionate and entirely unnecessary force with which the police acted in apprehending" Hichilema, Archbishop Mpundu said.
Hichilema was narrowly defeated by Lungu in an August 2016 election. He has unsuccessfully tried to challenge in court what he claims were fraudulent election results.
Zambia's judiciary has "let the country down by failing to stand up to political manipulation and corruption," the bishops' statement said.
"Our democratic credentials … have all but vanished in this nation that loudly claims to be God-fearing, peace-loving and Christian," it said.
"As a result of brutalizing the people through the police," Zambians are "reduced to fear so that the order of the day is corruption and misuse of public funds," the statement said.
"There is fear and trembling among the people, shown in the way they are afraid to speak out against injustices," it said.
The bishops called for an immediate halt to intimidating statements by ruling party leaders and said "the continuous tension" between the ruling party and opposition affects the lives of the public. Zambia "is now, all except in designation, a dictatorship and if it is not yet, then we are not far from it," they said.
"We therefore demand" that the government "puts in place concrete measures to reverse this worrying and dangerous trend," the bishops said.
Noting that "it is sad to see the police being used and acting like political party cadres," they called on the government to depoliticize the police service.
The bishops also strongly denounced "attacks on the Law Association of Zambia and the government's plans to undermine it."
The independent body with a membership of more than 1,000 legal practitioners, which faces a government-led move to disband it, should "play its rightful role as one of the most effective checks and balances in a true democratic dispensation," they said.
Noting that church-led mediation efforts in early 2016 failed after agreed-on resolutions "were broken, particularly by the ruling party," the bishops said that the country's church leaders would be prepared to try again if asked to do so by the government.
"The politicians, especially those in the ruling party, must realize that the nation … is deeply divided," the bishops' statement said.
In a warning that "our country now stands on the edge," the bishops said, "Let the politicians of both" the ruling party and opposition "take it from us since we always have our ears close to the ground."
Only "genuine and sincere dialogue aimed at national reconciliation" will bring long-term peace, they said, noting that "this reconciliation must be firmly rooted in the Christian values of truth, forgiveness, peace, unity, social justice and freedom."

During the winter there are more or at least different options when trying to take pictures of the same mountain in the morning and the evening. The sunlight is coming from a different angle, thus different part of the mountain lights up first thing in the morning and same when the sun is setting. During the summer the open water may decide where I can go and not go to get the picture. But with colder temperatures, being careful, I can easily walk over the frozen water to gain different opportunities. In this case picture of Castle Mtn in the middle of winter.
Castle Mountain
There was a bit of pressure to quickly decide where I wanted to take the picture from. The little light that was on the mountain was gone and the clouds were soon going to cover the mountain. I started thinking in black and white and then moved around the open water until I had the composition that worked for me.
One of the reason I still venture outside on very cold days, is to see something I may not see other days. In this case it was seeing sundogs, I had been seeing them over number of days as the cold temperatures had settled in Banff. The day I got this picture, I went for a quick hike with the hopes of finding a spot where I could get a clear pictures of both sundogs. Once I got the picture, it was a quick walk back to the car before the cold air got to me.
Cascade Mountain
When driving through the mountains I often comes across beautiful views from the road, I would tell myself I'll take that picture another time. I stop waiting for the next time and started taking those pictures as the opportunities come. I was returning on the Minnewanka Lake Road loop, Cascade Mtn and the surrounding looked great with the snow that fell the night before.
Light and the Fog
The temperature was around minus 35 Celsius in the morning when I was out there looking for things to photography. I was hoping to come across wildlife or perhaps see something around the river that would be interesting. Wildlife opportunity came after I saw the fog that was created by the cold air moving over the much warmer running water in the Bow River. And I liked the way light was coming through the fog around the trees located next to the river. I grabbed few pictures until it got to0 cold, this one was my keeper.
Until next moment,
Cascade Mountain
Its always good to get back to landscape photography, that's where it all started for me many years ago. Around the town of Banff there are two mountains that get most of the attention for landscape photography, Mount Rundle and Cascade. I have hundreds of pictures of Rundle but only in the tens for Cascade. In my effort to change that balance, I have been looking at different ways I can take pictures of Cascade. Cascade Mountain always looks better in winter, this one is during a sunrise
Until next moment,
Nature's Art
Nature was putting on a art show, the medium was ice. Using methane gas bubbles and crack to come up with unlimited variety of abstract images to look at. One could spend days and still not capture what was there. This picture is just a taste of what I saw.
Until next moment,
Petyo Lake
For few days winter arrives in the Canadian Rockies. Friends and I were visiting Jasper and on our way back to Banff, we stopped by Petyo Lake to take sunset pictures. It was winter wonderland.
Until next moment,
Vermilion River
I'm missing the snow, winter for me is never as long as I like. But I have the pictures to remind when the snow was plenty and all over the place. Few weeks back I was in Kootenay National Park, enjoying a hike and taking pictures along Vermilion River.
Until next moment,
Mount Rundle
I'm not sure what the next few weeks hold, but with the warm weather we been getting, it looks as if winter has been pushed aside. So I better start posting all the winter shots I have. This picture was taken when the winter still had a grip in the mountains, when it was still safe to walk on Two Jack Lake.
Until next moment,
American Marten
The American marten, a North American member of the Mustelidae (the weasel family). Sometime it's referred to as a pine marten, a name which came about from the slightly different Eurasian species of Martes. The Mustelidae family includes the very small least weasels to the very large giant otters. The martens are entertaining to watch year around, this one was hanging out on a branch, keeping its eyes on me. More then likely it saw me first and made its way up the tree for safety. As much as I wanted to hang out and watch it, I'm sure it was hoping I would make my way so it could come down the tree and carry on with its business. I moved on.
Until next moment,
Storm Mountain
Just having more fun turning winter landscape into black and white pictures. The morning light was doing its magic on Storm Mountain, just had to stop and take its pictures. I took four pictures and combined it together to create this panorama.
Until next moment,
Castle Mountain
There are few mountains in the Bow Valley that you can't pass for a picture opportunity. Especially taking their pictures during sunrises and sunsets. Daylight was coming to an end and I decided to finish the day by taking pictures of Castle Mountain. I was well rewarded.
Until next moment,
Signs of Ptarmigans
I was on a search for White-tailed Ptarmigans on a cold morning. I was enjoying the morning but was not having any luck finding ptarmigans that morning. But I was seeing signs of the ptarmigans, including where they had burrowed in the snow to avoid the cold weather.
Until next moment,
Near Helen Lake Trail
Most of my landscape pictures are taken with the light of a sunset or a sunrise. This low light produces a better contrast between shadow and light. Sunset and sunrise light is horizontal, parallel to the horizon, giving the landscape a three dimensional feel. The horizontal light also has to go through various layers of dust, haze and in some cases pollution. This reduces the intensity of the light, producing a softer look when it comes in contact with the landscape. The filtering of light going through various layers, removing much of the green and blue part of the visible light, leaving mainly the red part of the light, thereby producing light with warm look and feel.
But with that said, the camera should not be put away between sunrise and sunset for landscape photography. In the winter the sunlight is hitting the northern hemisphere at a much lower angle then it would in the summer, producing a longer window for landscape photography. As well snow and rocks produce nice contrast between each other, contrast magnified when the colours are removed.
Until next moment,
Hoar Frost
Hot Springs, even on the coldest days the water runs, producing amazing hoar frost. Longer the cold lasts more amazing it looks, layer upon layer of frost. Earth is full of wonders and this is one of them.
Until next moment,
Still Standing
It was early in the morning and the sunlight was starting to make its presence as I explored along the Vermilion River area in Kootenay National Park. There were clearly visible few days old bear tracks in the area, felt safe having my bear spray. Took few pictures as the light was coming down on Mount Verendrye. The river was starting to open up in the area with the several days of above freezing temperature, stayed closed to the edge.
I was making my way toward Honeymoon Pass Trail as I enjoyed nature's ice sculptures along the river. Shortly after leaving the trailhead to head up the trail, I was surrounded by some of the 12.6% burned Kootenay National Park, caused by the fire that took place in the summer of 2003. I can still clearly remember driving through the area with a friend days after the fire had subsided by hard work from many and the changing weather. The once dominate forest green had given way to the grey colour everywhere we looked.
But fire is an important natural process of the ecosystem, takes life on one hand, giving back on the other. Even on this day walking on knee to thigh high deep snow, among the standing dead trees, I could hear the sounds of wildlife and see tops of young pines that rely on fire to regenerate. Sun was starting to make an impact on the trail, I stopped to remove a layer before continuing my journey. On the trails my eyes were free to wander, taking in the visual images created by the light coming in contact with shapes and curves created by fire some seven years ago. I reached the location where I want to take my pictures I was hoping for. After taking in food and water, I went to work.
Until next moment,
Mount Chephren
I started the days adventure at upper Waterfowl Lake, with the goal to snowshoe to Mistaya Lake. Snowfall in the mountains has been below average this winter, but here along the Waputik Mountains below average is still enough to play with. But first thing first, need to capture the morning light. Standing on the east side o the lake, I started to take pictures of the mountains across the lake, as the light made its way toward the bottom of the valley.
It was a cool morning, I wanted to start moving and to get back some of the heat I lost taking the picture of the sunrise. Was hopping to head for the other side of the lake where the sunlight would be hitting soon, but was having way too much fun exploring the side of the lake I was on. Exploring places I wanted to come back to take pictures in winter and during the summer.
I made my way toward the small section of the Mistaya River that connects Waterfowl Lake to the Mistaya Lake. Due to low temperature mist was rising from the open running water, visible from a distance as the the sunlight came in contact with it. Being careful to stay on solid surface as I walked along the running water, open in some area and covered by ice and snow in others. Water was cool and clear as the surrounding landscape reflected off the water. Walking with snowshoes, made it easier to walk on the snow and at the same time carry the camera on the tripod.
So many place to take pictures, would be great to return and capture the early light on the mountains being reflected in the water. I was seeing so many possibilities for pictures, every few steps produced a unique opportunity for pictures. I was so involved taking pictures of the landscape , did not the mountains were holding a surprise for around the corner. A surprise that heard me coming. To be contuined... .
Until next moment,
Sunrise and Melting Ice
Some 14 years ago I got my first camera, original owners were my parents. I purchased few lens to create a system and off I went. I would chase the sunrises and the sunsets by riding my mountain bike to the Vermilion Lakes Road, Sundance Trail, Vermilion Lakes Road and more Vermilion Lakes Road. Vermilion Lakes were not far away form home, and easy to get to. As well I was not too far away from a warm home when I was taking pictures in November or December, stopping only when the snow arrived.
Got to know the area well over all these years. Even today when I have more options and using a DSLR, I find myself at the lakes. Last year I got into bird photography, and the lakes are great for that as well. This winter was the first time I did not stop taking the pictures when cold and the snow arrived, and again the lakes were great hosts. This last week I had visited the lakes several times, including few mornings. It still shows me views I have not seen or captured before.
Until next moment,
Boom Lake
It was a blue bird day, decided to hike to Boom Lake. The snow on the trail was packed well from previous users, providing great traction. When reaching about a kilometer into the hike, I passed a high school group having a break. They were all on skis, the trail was excellent for it. I nodded as I passed them and after another 4 kilometers I was at the lake.
It was bright, the Sun was sending rays of vitamin D in all direction. I quickly got my gear out and started to click away with my camera. I wanted to get my pictures before the school group reached the lake. After five minutes I followed snowshoes tracks, on top of the lake to get pictures from different viewpoints. The group had still not arrived, Clark Nutcrackers were keeping me company with their calls.
After about 40 minutes I decided to head out, no sign of the school group. From the ski tracks on the trail I found out the group had turned back after going for another kilometer or so. Its too bad, they missed a beautiful day at Boom Lake.
Until next moment,

A woman was pulled overboard by a shark she was feeding while on vacation in Australia. Melissa Brunning was on a boat feeding a group of nurse sharks in Dugong Bay when she was attacked.
Error: Invalid URL!
"I came up and I said, 'I've lost my finger' and I couldn't even look at my finger because I thought it was gone, and I thought if I looked at it I'd probably go into shock," Brunning said.
She didn't lose her finger, but she did have to go to the hospital to get it treated for an infection.
There were warnings not to feed the sharks.
Brunning says she doesn't blame the shark at all, and that the incident has taught her to respect marine life.

SpeedOf.Me -The Best Internet bandwidth detector
SpeedOf.Me In the present scenario, it is very important to ensure the speed of your internet as good speed is essential for streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and similar ones. The faster the speed, the faster you will be able to upload or download stuff. Good speed also enhances the picture and sound quality of what you are watching or listening to. Internet speed test is something which gives you the information regarding how much bandwidth is available to you at that particular time. By doing an Internet speed test we can find out whether we are getting enough bandwidth from our ISP for what we are paying for. We can also find out if our ISP is engaged in reducing the bandwidth through the network which is called bandwidth throttling. A large number of websites are now available for doing internet speed tests. SpeedOf.Me is one such website which works unlike most of the other similar websites.
Most of the internet speed testing websites employ Java and Flash for speed testing. Unlike these websites, SpeedOf.Me works via HTML5, which is built into your browser instead of via one of those third-party plugins. SpeedOf.Me was designed in December 2011. Since it directly tests bandwidth from the browser, it is certainly more accurate and reliable. Since it uses HTML5 technology, it can work in almost all browsers. And so, bandwidth test can be done on your smartphone, tablet, desktop or laptop. It is a lightweight website which doesn't require the installation of any application for its working.
How SpeedOf.Me Works
A good server is to be selected before starting speed test. There may be variation in how each browser reacts and may affect the precision of the test result. If you have not chosen a proper browser then you may experience issues during tests.
Bandwidth is basically the amount of data traveling along your line while speed refers to the rate at which data is traveling. When it comes to testing the download speed, it is done by downloading a sample file of 128 kb size (Sample files have a fixed value of sizes varying from 128 KB to 128 MB). If this file takes less than 8 seconds for downloading the next sample is taken. Otherwise, it proceeds to upload test. If the sample takes more than 8 seconds that will be accepted and it is this file among all other downloaded samples that are taken for calculating download speed.
It is calculated using bandwidth graph and download duration. Upload test is also done in a similar way. A small sized sample file is uploaded and increased gradually till it takes more than 8 seconds to upload. This incremental mechanism is done for thorough and accurate testing.
The greatest advantage of using SpeedOf.Me is that it does not require any third party plugins, but only a proper browser which supports HTML5 very well. If the browser supports number of HTML5 features, then the result would be more accurate and precise. Test results can be saved as an image or PDF file. The smooth running is also one of the notable features of this website. Once the test is started, using CDN technology the best server is selected automatically by SpeedOf.Me. It benefits from around 88 super servers called PoP. There are a large number of PoP locations extending in 5 continents which are North America, South America, Asia, Europe and Australia.
Despite all these unique features, there exist a few cons for SpeedOf.Me website. The graphics of the website is not pretty attractive like those of the similar websites. And also, the units in the results cannot be changed according to the user's desire.
Speedof.me is Lightweight, so it runs quickly and smoothly intelligently determines the best testing servers. Over 59 servers are located across 5 continents. Results can be shared and saved as an image or PDF file.Uses HTML5 in place of Java or Flash. Works with both mobile and desktop. Browsers keep a history of test results can download a second-by-second detailed speed report.
The graphics of speedof.me aren't as attractive as similar speed test sites.Can't change the unit displayed in the results (e.g. megabit vs megabyte) No option to register for an account to keep a longer history of results
Speedof.me is as easy as tapping or clicking Start Test and waiting for the results. All the work is done behind the scenes.
Some of the Internet speed test sites download small chunks of data and maybe some viruses get along as well and then extrapolate the results to tell you how fast without any problem you can browse your network can upload and download files. SpeedOf.Me is different in that it keeps testing the connection with larger and larger file samples until it takes longer than 8 seconds to complete no matter how fast or slow.
And with all the best facilities provided by the speed of me, there also comes the fact that, you can't change the results of a scan to display speeds in megabytes instead of megabits which are not supposed to be a determining factor when choosing a good interest speed test site though!
Speed of me is extremely easy to be used and by using this you can get the best of what you give and use downloading even the largest files with short time and putting them into small units within few seconds which make things smoother
Not everything about SpeedOf.Me is perfect though. For example, you can't build a user account to keep track of past results like the popular Speedtest.net website lets you do. This means if you want to store your results over a long period of time you'll have to download them to your computer
And once the results are shown, you can toggle either test on or off to focus on one or the other. Also, when printing or saving the results, you'll get an exact copy of what you see on the chart, which means you can print the upload results alone if you wanted to do so. You can also select any part of the results and zoom closer to the chart for more clarification. Doing this enables speedof.me to save results within a specific time frame. If you have any doubts or queries on the speed testing website speedOf.me mention it below in the comments. We will rectify it immediately.

Marvila Days
with Crista Alfaiate
Booking: Library or 218 173 000 e email@example.com
Leaping from idea to idea, skipping from verse to verse, we will look at the world in reverse: we will talk about animals such as the giraffe or the flea, who lives in the dog's fur, but also about the great menagerie that lives over there in the corner, amid the rhymes of poetry and our imagination. We will introduce you to the tiny animals, so small that you can't really see them. And, always speaking in rhymes, boys and girls, everyone, you and me, we will have the chance to meet the elephanteetles, a mixture of elephants and beetles that can't be seen with the naked eye, a pink shrimplet or a kangaraffe. Besides some of the animals you already know, we also want to introduce you to a number of other tiny creatures, who live calmly and quietly in our disordered thoughts. And that's what we promise you – as fully and completely as we can!
Before and after the presentation, we will all make our own menagerie of all these animals and creatures, great and small, invented by Rita and Pedro, which you can then wear as a badge.

Alma is committed to sourcing ethical, fair-trade, slavery-free chocolate. We use organic where possible, but believe that transparency in farming and a lack of pesticides are just as important as a fancy certification (which is often cost-prohibitive for the cacao farmers we want to support). That said, our "house" chocolate is, in fact, organic certified, as are many of the other ingredients we use.

Once upon a time in village there was an old man-Bill. He wanted to meet his son who lived in a city. He started his journey and came to a city where his son used to work and stay. He went to the place from where he used to get letters long back. When he knocked the door he was excited and smiled with joy to meet his son. Unfortunately, someone else opened the door. Bill asked, "I suppose Mike should be staying in this place." The person said, "No! He had left the place and shifted to different location." Bill was disappointed and just thinking how to meet his son. He started to walk in the street and the neighbors asked bill, "Are you looking for Mike?" Bill responded by nodding his head. The neighbors gave the present address and office address of Mike to the Bill. Bill thanked them and started towards the path which will lead to his son.
Bill went to the office and asked in the reception counter, "Could you please tell me the location of Mike, in this office?" The receptionist asked, "May I know how you are related to him?" Bill responded politely by saying, "I'm his father." The receptionist said, Bill to wait for a moment and rang up to Mike and conveyed the same. Mike was shocked and told the receptionist to send his father to the cabin immediately. Bill entered the cabin and when he saw Mike; his eyes were filled with tears. Mike was happy to see his father. They had a simple conversation for a while and then Bill asked Mike, "Son! Mom wants to see you. Come home with me."
Mike responded, "No father. I can't come. I've a busy life and it's hard to get leave."
Bill gave a simple smile and said, "Okay! You may do your work. I'll be going back to our village today evening."
Mike asked, "You can stay for few days with me. Please."
Bill responded after a moment of silence, "Son. You are busy with your tasks. I don't want to make you uncomfortable or become a burden for you." Continued, "I hope if ever had chance to meet you again, I would be happy." He left the place.
After 2 months Mike felt bad for treating his father in a weird manner. He felt guilt for it and took a leave in office for few days and went to his village to meet his father. When he went to the place where he was born and grew up, he saw that his parents were not there. He was shocked and asked the neighbors, "What happened here? My parents have to be there. Where are they now?" The neighbors gave the address of the place where his parents are staying. Mike rushed to the place and noticed that the place where his parents are staying currently was like a graveyard. Mike eyes was filled with tears and started to walk slowly towards the home. His father Bill noticed Mike in a far distance and waved his hand to draw his attention. Mike saw his father and started to run and hugged him.
Bill asked, "How are you?" and continued, "What a surprise to see you here. I didn't expect that you would be coming to this place."
Mike felt ashamed and kept his head down. Bill said, "Why are you feeling bad. Is anything wrong happened?"
Mike responded, "No father" continued, "It's just I never knew that I would be seeing you in this position in our village."
Bill smiled and said, "I had debts due to loss in farming and wanted to reclaim our home back. So I thought of approaching you, but you were more concerned about your tasks than us. I just didn't want to burden you with this problem and remained silent."
Mike whispered, "You could've told me. I'm not an outsider."
Bill turned around and said, "Your words on office made me to remain quiet. All we wanted was your happiness. So I kept quiet."
Mike started to cry and hugged his father again. He asked his father to apologize and forgive him for his mistake. Bill smiled and said, "No need for that. All I wanted was that you must come to us. I'm happy with what I got now." And from then Mike made his parents life more comfortable.
The moral of the story is that, the parents of most of the children wants their children to be happy and they don't seek for a help when they need. It's the responsibility of children to take care of their parents till their end.

Snow: The Story So Far
Snow is the second installation in what will be a trilogy created by Garrett Ammon.
The first in the saga was Winter, based on myths of the Magpie, a cunning and mischievous bird with a penchant for stealing shiny things.
One winter evening, the Magpie watched as a couple named Thomas and Elizabeth came home from a party. Elizabeth glittered and shone, and as the couple settled in for the night, the Magpie snatched the woman up to keep with her many treasures.
Upon waking to find Elizabeth gone, Thomas ventured into a forest full of magic in search for his lost love. Seeing his devotion for Elizabeth, the Magpie yearned to be the object of his affections and placed a curse on the woman—trapping her as a magpie and taking her place as Thomas' wife…
Beware of spoiler beyond this point.
The story of Snow takes place 18 years later. The new "Elizabeth" and Thomas now have a family with two daughters, Rose and Fanney. Enter another cursed creature: Fenris of Jotunheim. Fenris is a powerful wolf transformed into a human by an evil dwarf. The only way to break the spell, and return to his wolf form, is to perform one selfless act…
Upon hearing the tale of the Magpie, Fenris knows that his chance has come.
As he waits for the moment to get close to the family, an opportunity wanders into his path. Victor, a traveler from afar, has been tracking a selfish and murderous wolf with the intention of restraining it for all eternity. Not knowing that Fenris is the wolf he seeks, Victor shares his mission. Seeing a way to both return to his true form and retain his freedom, Fenris introduces Victor to the lovely Rose.
When Victor and Rose meet, it is love at first sight, and the happy couple quickly prepares to marry. In the meantime, Fenris has become a trusted friend of the family. Achieving his goal of proximity, Fenris prepares a potion that he plans to serve to Elizabeth at the wedding – returning her to a Magpie and freeing the real Elizabeth. As Fenris watches breathlessly for her to take a drink, she hands the cup to Rose who, thirsty from dancing, drinks from it eagerly.
More suddenly than a rock sinks into the ocean, the curse hits Rose, and before anyone knows what has happened, she is transformed into a cardinal. Thinking her dead, Rose's family and friends mourn, and Fanney and Victor's grief cause them to seek comfort in each other's arms.
Fenris, although not entirely successful in his endeavor, had spent years selflessly trying to help the real Elizabeth. Upon completion of this selfless act, he is once more returned to the form of a wolf. However, Victor, now without a wife and full of remorse, returns to his quest with a vengeance. He tracks Fenris to a high mountain pass where he finally captures and ensnares the wolf, tying him with magical ropes so that Fenris cannot harm another individual for as long as he lives.
Meanwhile, Fanney has a prophetic dream that reveals the full story of what has happened to Rose. Upon waking with the discovery that her sister was in fact not dead, and in shame of her behavior with Victor, Fanney takes her own life at the foot of a Juniper tree. Her spirit flees up into the Juniper tree, and for the first time in history, the tree blooms with bright blue berries.
To this day, Juniper berries are there to nourish cardinals through harsh winters.

SCARBOROUGH — Building an indoor climbing gym on Haigis Parkway has been an uphill battle for Taki Miyamoto, but Planning Board members Monday suggested he is approaching the approval plateau.
In his third presentation to the Planning Board since October, Miyamoto's frustration was evident as board members told him the Haigis Parkway property he wants requires tighter design standards than some other town locations.
"We want to get this project right from the town's perspective and ours," Miyamoto said near the end of a 75-minute discussion, noting he has consulted three architects on his plans.
Miyamoto envisions a facility for experienced and novice climbers, a place families can use for indoor recreation, and that teens can use for exercise and gathering.
The concept has board support.
"I think it would be great for a whole lot of reasons," board member Ron Mazer said. "(But) is this the right building for that particular location?"
Chairman Allen Paul said the site, on the shore of a man-made pond on the western side of Haigis Parkway, just beyond the intersection with Scottow Hill Road, requires an exterior treatment not yet seen in site plan drawings.
"I think it is safe to say every person on this board wants your project to proceed," Paul said. "My dilemma is we are talking about one of the prime areas of land in terms of development."
Miyamoto wants to build a 10,000-square-foot building on 1.5 acres, with 100 feet of fabricated metal front wall, sometimes reaching heights of 42 feet, and few windows to break up the building lines.
"We don't want to put something in Scarborough that is sub-par, and in our humble opinion, we think this is not," Miyamoto said.
The building length, lack of windows, flat roof and exterior materials will give the building a warehouse look that does not fit design standards in the zone, Paul said, although it would be acceptable on property across nearby U.S. Route 1.
"For me it is not as much the shape as the appearance," Paul said. "If this building was on Lincoln Avenue, you might have been out of here two times ago."
But with interior walls needed for climbing space, and his estimate that adding 5-foot windows would remove 15 feet of wall space on either side, Miyamoto said he would like to keep windows at a minimum.
"I really want people to think vertical, vertical, vertical," Miyamoto said.
Mazer saw progress in the plans and sympathized with Miyamoto's struggles.
"I understand you can only have so many windows," he said. "It defeats the purpose of what you are trying to accomplish."
Paul cautioned Miyamoto the board could "not design the building for you," but board member David Bouffard said using stone on part of the exterior could be a step to breaking up the appearance suitably.
The board also needs to look to the future and what may become of the building, Paul said.
"This building is potentially there for the next 50 or 60 years," he said.
