Taking advantage of a couple of hot teen television properties at the
time, MGM fashioned this fantasy for kids about a typical teenage boy
with one big secret. Agent Cody Banks is a CIA operative, part of a
special program that trains kids for special missions. And in the title
role Frankie Muniz gets to do them, providing he's not grounded.
The other hot property at the time was Hilary Duff who was in Disney's Lizzie McGuire series while Muniz was doing Malcolm In The Middle. She's Frankie's assignment, Duff is the daughter of a scientist who's gone missing and Frankie has to both protect her and find out what's going on.
It's something big all right, scientist Martin Donovan has invented some kind of artificial life that will eat anything carbon or silicon based. That could wreak a lot of havoc in the wrong hands.
Donovan is Duff's father, as for Muniz's parents they are unbelievably clueless, but that's part of the charm of these films. One who's not clueless is Muniz's immediate superior and handler Angie Harmon. She's got a great scene in the prep school where Muniz has been put to be close to Duff with some of the adolescent males there.
Agent Cody Banks with the star power of two current teen idols made a lot of money, so much so a sequel was made. Now if they had really wanted to do something different, they'd have made Duff the secret agent with Muniz her assignment.

A government agent trains a typical teenager Cody Banks who loves to skateboard, hates math, and feels like a complete idiot around girls, in the ways of covert operations that require younger participants. But Cody's got a secret--he's actually part of a secret teen CIA program. Cody's living every boy's dream life--he can drive like a stunt man, has an incredible arsenal of cool gadgets, and his agency mentor, Ronica Miles, is totally hot. But Cody's training is put to the test when he's sent to pose as a prep school student and befriend fellow teen Natalie Connors in order to gain access to her father--a scientist unknowingly developing a fleet of deadly pair of twisted villains called the nanobots for the evil organization ERIS, which can destroy any carbon or silicon-based substance-to destroy the world's defense systems so he can threaten anyone who opposes him. From runaway cars and high-speed snowboard chases to a spectacular final mountaintop showdown, Cody has to use ...

Cody Saves The World And Gets Grounded
Taking advantage of a couple of hot teen television properties at the
time, MGM fashioned this fantasy for kids about a typical teenage boy
with one big secret. Agent Cody Banks is a CIA operative, part of a
special program that trains kids for special missions. And in the title
role Frankie Muniz gets to do them, providing he's not grounded.
Amusing film for teenagers with a starring interpreting a James Bond adolescent
The film talks a shy adolescent (Frankie Muniz) who's submitted to
jokes from his school fellows but he's really a CIA undercover agent .
He's assigned by his chief (Keith David) for one dangerous mission , he
then meets a teen girl (Hillary Duff) whose father (Martin Donovan) is
a scientific working in nanotechnology industries for the nasties (Ian
McShane and Arnold Vosloo) . The teen is helped by an attractive agent
(Angie Harmon).
The plot is a little bit ridiculous , but we're in a spoof comedy and it is narrated in fast movement ; besides , abound the surprises , being very funny and bemusing . In the film there is suspense , comedy , emotion , action-packed , tongue-in-cheek and chases galore with impressive velocity pursuits . The screenplay is nicely developed as well as characters and the frenetic action united to excellent special effects that are varied of these too . From the beginning until the end the amusement and entertainment is continued . The humor moments are in charge of Frankie Muniz with his abundant botches and goofs that happen when he must confront perils and risks against the villains . It's a spoof of James Bond's films , even there's a flying artifact like in ¨Thunderball¨ , plus a role type ¨Q¨ , a weapons deliverer , who teaches the various gadgets which Cody Banks will subsequently use . Exciting final facing off between the protagonists and the baddies on the mountain headquarter is breathtaking and special mention to the habitual villain Arnold Vosloo (The mummy) , he is terrific. Colorful cinematography by Denis Crossan ; the exterior of the CIA headquarters was shot on location in the Academic Quadrangle at Simon Fraser University near Vancouver , this location is popular for films shot in this city . Atmospheric and lively musical score by John Powell . The motion picture was professionally directed by Harald Zwart (One Night at McCool's , Commando Hamilton , Pink Panther 2). Rating: Enjoyable and nice.
Silly, But Entertains
Cody Banks (Frankie Muniz) is a shy common teenager, living with his
mother, father and little brother in a suburban house. But he is also a
very efficient undercover CIA agent. He is assigned by CIA director
(Keith David), with the support of his instructor Ronica Miles (Angie
Harmon), to date Natalie Connors (Hilary Duff) in order to be invited
to her birthday party and get close and spy Natalie's father, Dr.
Connors (Martin Donovan). Dr. Connors is a brilliant scientist, who has
developed some sort of micro-robots with the intention of controlling
oil leakage from tankers. However, the investors of the experiment
intend to use the device as a powerful weapon. "Agent Cody Banks" tries
to follow the success of "Spy Kids", it is very silly, but entertains.
There is nothing special or original in this popcorn movie, indicated
for an afternoon without any other alternative. My vote is six.

Lisa Rinna Had to List an Occupation on Her Passport, So She Chose This
The description perfectly suits The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills multi-hyphenate, if we do say so.
So, what does Lisa Rinna do for a living? Ask her that question, and you'll get a predictably witty response. Or, scratch that. Don't ask Lisa — just look at her passport instead.
On June 15, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills pal shared on Twitter that she was having her passport renewed. That makes sense: Lisa is, after all, a frequent traveler. But, the plot thickens. On her passport application, Lisa was asked to fill out her occupation.
This is a bit of a tricky question, now that we think of it.
Lisa could write anything from momager to actress to hairstyle muse. But, what she chose to write pretty much sums all that up and then some.
Take a look at her tweet:
Come to think of it, that response in itself is pretty iconic.

I like to believe that my love of cooking started here, with Betty Crocker propped open in my 1982 brown-and-mustard linoleum kitchen. It then disappeared for several decades in the face of what constituted most late 20th century diets (Velveeta "cheese," Ramen noodles and copious amounts of peanut butter), and was reawakened only a few years ago when I suddenly found myself an adult, needing to provide meals not only for myself but also a Hungry Husband.
We moved to the Middle East in 2006, just five months into marriage, and have lived in several countries throughout the region. Because most of my married life has taken place in the Middle East, my process of becoming a wife has been shaped not only by my and my husband's family backgrounds and American culture but also by our Arab neighbors and their understandings of family. One of the things that has impressed me the most is the care women put into preparing food for their families, and I feel challenged to incorporate that value more into my life. Although I am American, I have imbibed deeply of various aspects of the Arab cultures and have been changed by my time here. The name of this blog is my attempt to reflect the continual process of cultural identification that goes on in my life.
I started this blog primarily thinking to write about food, American, Arab, and otherwise; my main intention is to bring back to life my angsty-college-poetry-writing self in a slightly healthier (and tastier) manner. Life is more than food, however, so I will occasionally write on other subjects that interest me (and hopefully you).
I would tell you all about my camera, as that seems to be good food blog protocol, but really—we bought it before we were married, when 6 megapixels was the height of technology for the average consumer, and there is no reason anyone should buy a camera with such little zoom power these days. That, combined with my complete lack of knowledge about proper "staging" of food (a concept which still makes me snicker a little) and no photo editing experience means that my pictures are not always pretty. I also deal with internet limitations of time, speed, and government monitoring, which means I can be neither graphically fancy nor (overtly) politically snarky. Such is The AmerArab Life.

From 2001 to 2015, the suicide risk for Black boys between the ages of 5 and 11 was two to three times higher than that of White boys, according to a new research letter in JAMA Pediatrics (Bridge, 2018). This concerning trend continues through adolescence as reported by the Nationwide Youth Risk Behavior Survey (Kann et al., 2017). The rates of attempted suicide, including attempts that resulted in an injury, poisoning, or overdose, are 1.2x higher among Black males compared to White males.

Is Losing Interest and Motivation Inevitable As We Age?
Many of us have had the experience of losing interest in some of the activities that used to excite us. This is to be expected as our lives change and we experience new things.

Subscribe To Chris Christie: I'm Not Too Fat To Be Governor Or President Of The United States Updates
I've already subscribed
Channeling a viewpoint William Howard Taft would be proud of, Chris Christie defiantly told Barbara Walters it is "ridiculous" to claim he's too fat to be President of the United States. The Governor of New Jersey, known best for his aggressive, yet good natured demeanor, has long been considered a potential presidential candidate by Republican strategists, but thanks to his work both before and after Superstorm Sandy, the politician now seems like he will be one of the frontrunners when primary season kicks into gear three years from now.
The exchange in question took place during Walters' recently recorded series of interviews with the ten people she selected as the most fascinating of 2012. The sitdowns will air this evening during a special on ABC, but some of the more interesting exchanges have already begun leaking out. Luckily for Christie, he handled himself quite well. Here's a portion of his actual response to the "are you too fat" question, as per The Washington Post…
"I've done this job pretty well. I think people watched me for the last number of weeks during Hurricane Sandy doing 18-hour days and getting back up the next day and still being just as effective in the job, so i don't think that will be a problem."
Christie gave the keynote address during the Republican National Convention earlier this year, and since, he's even stopped in for a segment on Saturday Night Live. Affable, highly intelligent and, yes, fat, he should be a force to be reckoned with in 2016, if, of course, he officially decides running for President is what he'd like to spend his time doing.

We're all freezing and bundled in blankets with the oven on and guess what? Can't fix it ourselves. Oh man, I was just asking for it, hm? lol Wish for my family and I not to freeze overnight.

I grew up in Houston, Texas, in the the sixties and seventies. The Houston music scene at the time was healthy, albeit somewhat undefined. Lightning Hopkins, Houston's most famous bluesman, was feeling his oats. The Thirteenth Floor Elevators had a national hit. And when you turned on your radio and heard "This is Archie Bell and the Drells from Houston, Texas, y'all. Put that hamburger down and let's all do the Tighten Up!" Well…you had to do what the man said, and get to dancin'.
Guy Clark and Townes Van Zandt were writing songs there in the late sixties. Their presence gave way to a new and vibrant group of singer-songwriter folkies who emerged in the early to mid-seventies. Houston became a small haven for these young song slingers. Pool halls and beer joints abandoned their hardcore, country shuffle bands and started holding open mike nights. Don Sanders, Nanci Griffith, Lucinda Williams, Shake Russell, Eric Taylor, and Lyle Lovett were among this throng of troubadours who played for tips and beer in the neon coated Gulf Coast nightlife.
I loved them all. However, my favorite was the bearded blues rocker, John Vandiver. Short and squatty with round wire rim specs perched on a happy red nose, John looked to all the world like the son of Santa. He played big fat hollow body electric guitars that bounced on his jolly girth and shook the rafters when he broke into "Key to the Highway" by Big Bill Broonzy. He had a gentle speaking voice that turned into a golden megaphone when he belted out "Send Me to the Electric Chair" or "Saint James Infirmary". His timing was atomic and the solos he played were melodic and rocking and unimaginable to me given that he played solo. John was equally magnetic when he fronted a band or was called up to lead a finale, but the magic was seeing one man make so much sound.
Vandiver was humble and gracious to other performers, whether he was giving a short history on the song he was about to perform or sharing the bill with national touring acts, he was more than generous. I remember seeing him open for Willis Alan Ramsey to a packed house. John started his set by explaining that he was the opening act and we could talk and scream to our hearts content while he was on stage. Then he paused and said, "Willis is the greatest thing going and you guys need to listen when he sings." Of course as you can guess, John wound up doing three encores. So in the end it wasn't just the music, it was the man and warmth and courage you could feel every time he took the stage.
John Vandiver was murdered in 1985 by some drug dealers who mistakenly thought he was the involved in a high level cocaine operation. When they realized their error and wound up empty handed, the dealers shot John and slayed his girlfriend.
Shortly after the tragedy, John's friend, guitar maker Bill Collings packed up his one man shop and dedicated his life to helping the police find John's killers. Collings could not stand to see the case go dark. He worked tirelessly with the Houston detectives until eventually the assailants were apprehended and sent to prison. Bill reopened his guitar shop and within a few years was making some of the finest guitars in the world. He still makes them today. You would have to ask Bill, but I believe Bill found his calling and his muse in the musical life and tragic death of his dear friend, John Vandiver.

I was a teenage guitar player in the waning days of my 60′s garage band years when I first heard the pedal steel guitar of Sneaky Pete Kleinow. I was immediately drawn to that sound. I didn't really know what the hell it was at first but I sure wanted to find out. Sure I knew what a pedal steel guitar was, heard it a lot in country music but I never thought about trying to play the instrument myself. Sneaky Pete's playing blew my mind the way Jimi Hendrix's had — doors were opened I didn't know existed. He was turning up on a lot of the records I listened to in those days. I picked up a lap steel and eventually did learn to play the pedal steel myself.
In retrospect, one thing I can hear now when I listen to stuff Pete recorded in the late 60′s and early 70′s was that he had one foot planted in tradition and the other firmly planted in the emerging world of contemporary rock and roll. On one hand he had been inspired by the peerless playing of Jerry Byrd, Speedy West, Ralph Mooney and other steel guitar players who had come before. He even played an 8 string Fender pedal steel, an instrument that was considered somewhat outdated at the time. But man, the things he could do with that instrument!
Sneaky Pete was a member of the first generation of players that made the switch from non pedal to pedal steel guitar. Like many of those pedal pioneers he developed his own unique style. He brought a real sense of adventure and experimentation to his playing using distortion, phaseshifting and delay effects to go along with the genre defying music that was so prevalent during that time. In my opinion Pete had an impeccable sense of timing, taste and tone not to mention his melodic sensitivity and inventiveness. As an unschooled, self taught musician he played everything straight from the heart. We are fortunate to have so many great examples of his beautiful playing on some classic recordings -
A few examples –
All tracks but particularly check out "Christine's Tune"
"She Came In Through The Bathroom Window"
"It'll Take A Long Time"
"Love Has No Pride "
"Take It Easy" and "Our Lady of the Well"
Various instrumental tracks
Particularly check out "It Makes No Difference", "Beat the Heat", "Oklahoma Stomp",
"Cannonball Rag", "Sleepy Lagoon" and "Sneak Attack"

You might also know this as "chub rub" or other offensive terms. And if you still aren't sure what I'm talking about, then you were probably blessed with thigh gap and don't have to deal with this unpleasant situation. It's basically when your skin rubs together and creates a very painful rash, and sometimes even bleeds and scabs up. Sure, chafing can happen to anyone–marathon runners, babies, dudes, and so on, and in many different places. But thigh rub is problem many women face during the warmer months. I'm pretty active and spin, run and hike, and still deal with this sh*t all the time. Especially during summertime because I only wear dresses.
It happens like this: I walk outside feeling like a million bucks, walk around for a little while and start sweating, and then feel the rub coming on. I learned my lesson in Cambodia two years ago when I didn't have my handy mini Gold Bond powder with me. It was 100 degrees and humid, and we (my now fiance and I!) set out for an all-day trek around Siem Reap to see the temples. By the time we got home I was limping from the pain. I seriously contemplated saving my money and getting the fat sucked out of my thighs (yes, it is that painful). Maybe TMI, but I am sure some of you can relate. I quickly learned to never leave the house on a hot summer day without some relief in-hand. So if you're in the same boat as me, check out the slideshow above for to find out ways to prevent and soothe chub rub if it happens to you.

A recent Ontario Court of Appeal decision affirmed that employees who play a vital role in a company owe a fiduciary duty to their employer even after termination.
In GasTOPS Ltd. v. Forsyth, the defendants resigned from GasTOPS, a developer of computer software for gas turbine engines, without providing a reasonable notice period and formed their own competing company called MxI. This left GasTOPs unable to fulfill its contractual obligations with several clients and unable to pursue business opportunities planned for with prospective clients.
At trial, the defendants were found to play a key role as senior designers of several products and in possession of vital information including a list of current and prospective clients and their needs. The Court held that an implied fiduciary relationship was owed to GasTOPS since the defendants were in a position to exercise power that could leave the company in a vulnerable position. This duty was held to be breached by the active solicitation of the plaintiff's clients and through the misappropriation of confidential information for the benefit of MxI.
MxI were ordered to disgorge their first ten years of profits and the defendants were held jointly and severally liable for the same amount entitling GasTOPS to an award of over $20 million. The defendants' appeal against the period of disgorgement was dismissed. The Court of Appeal upheld the remedy due to GasTOPS' operating market which entailed a very small number of high paying customers.
This case stresses how employees are expected to serve their employers honestly and faithfully by acting in their best interests at all times. A fiduciary duty further elevates this expectation by requiring employees to avoid all conflicts of interest, to act only in the best interests of their beneficiary, and to not profit from their position. To establish a duty, the Court will look at how important an employee's role is within a company. Factors including the employee's duties, their contact with customers and suppliers, their influence over the company's sales and pricing practices, and the degree of confidentiality over such information will be assessed in finding a fiduciary relationship.
What if an employee wants to compete with their employer?
A fiduciary is not barred from competing with its former employers. They must however disclose their intention to compete prior to issuing a notice of termination.
Without the consent or approval of their employer, fiduciaries are prohibited from engaging in any business opportunity and using any confidential information obtained during their employment for their own personal use.
What forms of solicitation are acceptable if an employee is competing with their former employer?
A fiduciary has a duty to not solicit any of their former employer's clients or employees. In Resevoir Group Partnership v. 1304613 Ontario Ltd., the Court indicated that this duty is intended to preserve the goodwill and reputation of the employer. However, solicitation entails more than passively receiving a client. A fiduciary only breaches this duty if they have finalized a business arrangement with someone they have been directly enticing. Therefore, general advertising of services that attract a former employer's client is an acceptable practice. This same principle however does not apply for employees. Regardless of whether they were actively solicited, a fiduciary will not be acting in the best interest of their former employer by hiring any of their current employees.
Key Take-Aways
- After termination, employees may still owe a fiduciary duty to the Company they were employed with.
- An employee may compete with their previous employer if they provide the employer with notice to compete, along with their notice to terminate.
- Employers must ensure they include a strong non-solicitation and non-compete clause in their employment agreements to protect their business.

#ThrowbackThursday — This post originally published June 22, 2010. The Gulf Oil Spill started in April, 2010 and was capped later that summer.
The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has been called an ecological disaster. As oil continues to flow from the damaged well deep below the surface, it continues to coat wildlife, beaches and wetlands with the gooey, black substance. A major effort is under way to clean up the oil, but the only way to solve the problem is to stop the flow of oil from the source by capping the well.
It's a vivid picture of what sin can do to our lives. Sinful thoughts deep inside our minds don't seem harmful until they spew forth, coating our lives and those around us with its gooey darkness. We struggle to clean the mess sin causes in our life, but the only way to really stop it is at the source. As Paul wrote in Romans 12:2: "Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect (NLT)."
Each day becomes a struggle to control our thoughts and our sinful nature. Paul describes this in Galatians 5:16-18 as a struggle between sinful desires and the Spirit. "These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions," Paul says to break free we must let the Holy Spirit guide our lives. "Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves." If we do not, then we become like Israel who Ezra described as "a land polluted by the corruption of its people (Ezra 9:11 NIV)." Sin continued to spew forth, coating Israel in darkness.
So how do we capture sinful thoughts and focus on the Spirit? We must cap them at the source. "O Jerusalem, wash the evil from your heart and be saved. How long will you harbor wicked thoughts (Jeremiah 4:14)?" We must fix our "thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess (Hebrews 3:1)." We must let Christ and the Spirit capture our mind. "For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love (2 Peter 1:5-7)."

Throwback Thursday – Originally published March 26, 2010
When Christ pries open the bulging suitcase of our life, the contents spill out before us. There, spread out for everyone to see is all the junk we have carried for years. Just as when a bag bursts open in an airport, our first reaction is to stuff everything back in before anyone notices the personal items in our life. The last thing we want to do is to stop and take time to examine our dirty laundry.
But an emptied life is a chance to see how you can repack for a journey with Christ. It's a new mindset that is different from the world you once knew, a mindset that requires you to only focus on what you need for your destination. Romans 12:2 reminds us: "Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do, and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect his will really is (NLT)."
Our life is designed to only need a small carry-on bag filled with God's goodness. The challenge is to not put everything back in again so that Christ gets misplaced in your overloaded life. Paul writes in 2 Peter 2:20, "If they have escaped the corruptions of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning."
A commitment to Christ means sorting through your life and dealing with the contents one by one. It means reading the Bible and praying and meeting with other Christians to help you sort out the things that do not belong in your life. When you pack for a journey with Christ, you will be amazed at how everything fits in your life. Christ said in Matt. 11:30 "For my yoke fits perfectly, and the burden I give you is light."

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News
Two lawsuits filed by Florida Democrats challenging the validity of some Florida absentee ballots are heard in Tallahassee. Judge Nikki Clark hears the Seminole County absentee ballot case (see November 12, 2000, November 15-17, 2000, November 17, 2000, and November 27, 2000) and Judge Terry Lewis presides over a similar challenge filed against Martin County ballots. (The Gore campaign has declined to join either lawsuit, though Vice President Al Gore has said it "doesn't seem fair to me" that Republicans but not Democratic operatives in those counties were allowed to add and correct voter ID numbers on absentee ballot applications. The Bush campaign has joined the opposing side of both lawsuits.) Both Clark and Lewis reject the lawsuits. The Florida Supreme Court will uphold their rulings. [US News and World Report, 12/13/2000; Leip, 2008] Democratic leaders are beginning to edge away from continued support for Gore's attempts to secure the election. Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL) says, "This is coming to an end." A George W. Bush presidency, he says, "looks more and more" likely. [Guardian, 12/8/2000]

Custom theme settings panel

This implies that if you do use these features on your website, and opt to change theme provider later on, you can still keep those elements on your website intact, providing the plugins remain busy.
Utilizing the Themes from CSSIgniter
To try out the performance of these topics from CSSIgniter, I took the recently released Uberto, that is described as a gorgeous blogging theme for WordPress, for a test drive.
Once you've signed up as a client, either for access to one motif or all 60 themes, the themes you've got access to may be downloaded in the member area of the website.
1 nice feature I noticed immediately was that you can download previous versions of a motif. This could come in handy should you need to access the original source files for backup purposes, or to roll back any changes you have made to the theme files being used on your site.
It is also possible to quickly access the documentation for each motif and get the sample material.
Once the theme has been activated on your website you can import the presentation content, which in the case of Uberto includes posts and pages, as well as the widget settings, or move straight to the theme settings control panel to set up the theme.

The user interface of this theme settings is pretty close to the native WordPress UI, making it simple to work with, while also helping it to incorporate quite well into the rest of the admin dashboard on your website.
During the control panel you get access to the following settings, although these can vary Based upon the CSSIgniter theme you are using:
Upload logos and favicon
Colour options: select a colour scheme or set custom colours
Display options: excerpts and included image managing |}
Archive options: number of articles to display
Establish social media integration
Google Analytics, Feedburner, and BuySellAds integration
Add custom CSS
There is not a whole lot that you could do through the motif options control panel, compared to some feature-heavy themes on the market, but if you enjoy simplicity and too little bloat, then those topics will be appealing to you.
The motif settings panel also includes quick links to the support and documentation pages on the web site for the subject you're using.
Should you choose to import the sample content, your site will be populated using a selection of articles, along with other articles, each with picture place holders to assist you to get a better sense of how the subject functions.
As previously mentioned, one of the common attributes shared by the CSSIgniter themes is the built in color variants. These permit you to modify the major colour scheme for your website simply by selecting an option from the dropdown menu.
The theme options for your CSSIgniter themes is user friendly and provide you a fair quantity of control over how your website looks.

Each theme includes its collection of documentation which is stored on the internet. The documents walk you through the setup process for the subject and describe how to use it, with additional info on some of the advanced theme-specific features.
In the first instance support is supplied through the members only encourage forums. Just customers can access the forums, which makes it a location to find questions which have already been answered or place your issues directly associated with the CSSIgniter themes.
There is also a general section with frequently asked questions, testimonials, and hints for new themes and attributes.
When surfing the forums it seemed that the subjects were responded to quickly with useful responses being posted by the support team. But to test the service that I did post a few questions that arose when installing and using their themes.
Both questions I posted in the forums have been responded to immediately from the service staff. In 1 case I was given the necessary code to make the changes I wanted, and in the other I was provided with a link to the appropriate documentation on the site. I was pleased with all the timely and useful responses in both cases, especially considering this took place on the weekend, even outside of office hours.

A guide to cooking and eating these spring onion-like vegetables—the Catalonian way
If you've ever been to Catalonia between January and April, you've possibly stumbled across a calçotada—that is, a festival dedicated to the harvest of the sweet, green, spring onion-like vegetables known as calçots. Native to the region (those from Valls have PGI protected status), their cultivation requires a process of 'forcing'—that is, mounding up the earth to keep as much of the vegetable away from direct sunlight as possible, and in effect elongating the edible, white, tender bit.
According to James at Brindisa—where calçot season is in full swing—the Catalans might have a reputation for being quite a serious people, but when it comes to celebrating the arrival of this short-seasoned allium, they get stuck in with gay abandonment.
It's a tactile affair. The calçots are blackened over wood or charcoal, then wrapped in paper: "Newspaper, traditionally, and it's quite an important process," explains James. "They're left for about 20 minutes to steam and ensure the whole thing is softened. Then comes the really messy bit"—that is, peeling off the outer leaves, charcoal, then, juices n' all, dunking it in sauce and dangling it into your mouth "like a snake".
Peppery, tomatoey, nutty
The sauce—either romesco or salbitxada, both of them peppery, tomatoey, nutty numbers—is essential; as is the accompanying red wine. Not just any red wine, though—this is a calçotada. It comes in a 'porron', a kind of jug with a long narrow spout, from which it's drunk directly. "The more you drink, the more you think 'I'm getting good at this!' and begin attempting it at arm's length," he laughs. "Inevitably something goes wrong. But that's part of the fun."
While you might not much fancy braving the elements for a barbie at this time of year, it's a dish you can celebrate in similar spirit at home with a grill or griddle pan. Brindisa has you covered for the calçots (and some ready-made romesco, should minimal cooking appeal) and regular demo chef Jenny Chandler has provided a rundown on the rest. While the barbecue might not be mandatory, if you want to stand any chance of escaping a serious red wine stain, a porron definitely is.

"Simply the best book that has been published on this great president's humor and stories...Everyone interested in Abraham Lincoln will want to read this."—William C. Harris, author of Lincoln and the Border States
Abraham Lincoln has long been admired for his leadership, honesty, and eloquence. But despite his somber reputation, the sixteenth president was quite funny. With an uncanny ability to mimic others and an irresistible midwestern twang, Lincoln, in fact, could be downright hilarious.
Brimming with his funniest quips, jokes, and stories, Lincoln's Gift explores the crucial role humor played throughout his tumultuous professional and private life. Perfect for history buffs and Lincoln enthusiasts alike, this clever and captivating biography reveals how America's greatest president used his lighter side to lead the country through one of its darkest times, the Civil War.
"Gordon Leidner ingeniously blends a study of Lincoln's humor with an account of his life, showing how our sixteenth president was not always a 'man of sorrows' but often a man of laughter, capable alike of enjoying as well as telling a good story."—Michael Burlingame, author of Abraham Lincoln: A Life

They say I tell a great many stories; I reckon I do, but I have found in the course of a long experience that common people, take them as they run, are more easily informed through the medium of broad illustration than in any other way, and as to what the hypercritical few may think, I don't care. —Abraham Lincoln
Today we think of Abraham Lincoln as a great leader—perhaps our greatest. We recall his eloquent speeches, his fight for the preservation of the Union, and his emancipation of the slaves. We honor his devotion to duty, sacrifice, and honesty.
What we do not think of today in association with Abraham Lincoln is a good joke. In Lincoln's day, however, he was a well-known storyteller, and more than one Lincoln joke book was published during his presidency. Although most of the jokes in them did not originate with Lincoln, like everyone else, he enjoyed reading them. One of them had a story Lincoln was particularly fond of—the anecdote about two Quaker women discussing President Lincoln and Confederate president Jefferson Davis at the beginning of the Civil War. The first Quaker lady said, after some contemplation, that she believed the Confederacy would win the war because "Jefferson Davis is a praying man." "But Abraham Lincoln is a praying man too," the second Quaker lady protested. "Yes," the first admitted, "but the Lord will think Abraham is joking."
Mark Twain said that the secret source of humor is not joy but sorrow, and if this is true, we can understand why Lincoln told so many jokes. He endured many tragedies in his life, beginning with the loss of his mother when he was nine years old, his sister when he was nineteen, his first love when in his twenties, two young sons, and of course the terrible trials of an internecine war.
Lincoln always said that he cared little for the typical vices of the day—drinking, smoking, or gambling—but that a good joke was like a tonic or medicine to him. It is well known that Lincoln had a melancholy personality and frequently suffered bouts of what may have been unipolar depression. He recognized this challenge and told many people that he used funny stories to help lift himself out of sessions of sadness.1
Lincoln acquired his penchant for jokes and storytelling from his father, Thomas Lincoln. When Abe was a child, he loved to listen to his father and other men swap yarns and funny stories. As he grew older, he himself became increasingly adept at telling and retelling humorous stories, frequently modifying them to accommodate each situation. When Lincoln became a lawyer, he used his jokes and stories to gain the good will of juries, and more than once, the opposing counsel complained to the judge that Lincoln's stories were irrelevant and distracting. The trouble for them, though, was that the portly Eighth Circuit judge, David Davis, loved Lincoln's jokes more than anyone else in the courtroom.
As a politician, Lincoln used his humorous stories to ridicule opponents, such as the competing political party whose platform he said was like "the pair of pantaloons" advertised to be "large enough for any man, small enough for any boy." More than once, Lincoln's lifelong political opponent, Democrat Stephen A. Douglas, saw his forceful arguments forgotten by the audience when Lincoln followed up his rival's speech with a joke or funny analogy. At the debate in Ottawa, Illinois, Lincoln compared one of Douglas's statements to trying to make a chestnut horse into a horse chestnut. At the debate in Alton, Lincoln told a story that showed how he felt about a political feud that was currently raging between Douglas and the head of the Democratic Party, President James Buchanan. He said he felt like the old woman who, not knowing who was going to win a brawl between her husband and a bear, decided to cheer for both of them: "Go it husband, go it bear!"
When Lincoln became president, he used his jokes for various purposes. Sometimes his jokes put visitors at ease, such as the time he met a soldier who was three inches taller than him, and he asked the young man if he knew "when his feet get cold." Sometimes his jokes were just for fun, like when he commented about the demise of a vain general, saying, "if he had known how big his funeral would be, he would have died long ago." Often his jokes were simply familiar expressions, as with his comment to a sculptor who had been working on a bust of Lincoln, when he said "that looks very much like the critter," or to a visitor that he would "pitch in" to his problem "like a dog at a root."
Frequently Lincoln used jokes to illustrate political points he wanted to make, such as his comparison of General George B. McClellan's continuous cry for reinforcements to the monkey named Jocko who wanted a longer tail. On another occasion, he compared the congressman who was taking both sides of a political issue to the farmer and son who had to search both sides of a branch at the same time for their old sow who they thought "was on both sides of the creek." Sometimes he used jokes to get visitors who had taken up too much of his time to leave. While the listeners were laughing, he would ease them out the door.
Lincoln also used funny stories to break the ice in awkward moments. Frequently these jokes were simple ones that poked fun at his own appearance, like the story of meeting a stranger in a railroad car in Illinois. The stranger said, "Excuse me, Sir, but I have an article in my possession which belongs to you."
"How is that?" Lincoln asked, considerably astonished.
The stranger took a jackknife from his pocket. "This knife," he said, "was placed in my hands some years ago, with the injunction that I was to keep it until I found a man uglier than myself. I have carried it from that time to this. Allow me now to say, Sir, that I think you are fairly entitled to the property."
More than anything else, however, Lincoln used humor to help him cope with his melancholia and the terrible strain he had during the war. He told one visitor that if he didn't tell these stories, "he would die."
It is not the intention of Lincoln's Gift to be a joke book but instead a short biography that weaves many of his jokes and humorous stories into the narrative. The jokes and funny stories included herein are placed, as accurately as possible, within the context that Lincoln actually used them, or when this is not known, when he would likely have used them.
A challenge for anyone who wants to recount a funny Lincoln story is to select the genuine article. Spurious Lincoln jokes abound, and even for Lincoln scholars, it can sometimes be difficult to discern which stories Lincoln actually told. To minimize this problem, I have taken the jokes and stories from the sources in the bibliography and cross-checked them, where possible, with the appropriate primary sources listed at the end of the book.
Another challenge is to place the jokes correctly in the timeline of Lincoln's life. Although most can be accurately placed chronologically, some are more difficult. For some stories, there are varying or insufficient accounts of when Lincoln told them. Also, he often repeated stories throughout his life, with slight variations to meet each circumstance.
The biggest challenge, however, in conveying Lincoln's humor is that his skill as a storyteller and his manner of delivery were often funnier than the story itself. As the great Lincoln biographer Benjamin Thomas pointed out, Lincoln's facial expressions, gestures, Hoosier accent, and his ability to mimic were essential to getting a laugh from his audience. Although this cannot be adequately conveyed in print, in an effort to remind the reader of Lincoln's manner of speech, Lincoln's Hoosier accent has been preserved, as much as possible, in quoted material. In a few instances, stories were abbreviated or altered slightly for clarity.
Abraham Lincoln the statesman definitely deserves the credit he's received for his great accomplishments—leading America through its most terrible war, preserving the Union, inspiring the nation to sacrifice, and freeing the slaves. But to fully appreciate Lincoln's accomplishments, one must understand how he coped with the war casualties, his personal tragedies, and his melancholia. To do this, we take a brief look at Abraham Lincoln, from his lighter side.

Travel information company INRIX has launched what it says is a world-first service giving advance warning of dangerous weather-related road conditions.
The company says Road Weather is the first of its kind to give drivers advance warning of dangerous weather-related road conditions ahead, keeping them safer on their route. The solution aggregates big data from connected cars, as well as atmospheric weather conditions, then transmits that data to other cars and mobile applications, giving drivers important information to either choose another route or change their speed well ahead of the problem.
INRIX adds that Road Weather will help reduce the number of traffic accidents related to weather, saving lives and reducing insurance costs for drivers.
The Company says weather-related accidents have a huge impact on travelers around the world, leading to 7,000 U.S. and 8,000 European weather-related auto accident fatalities each year. It adds that US$18 billion is lost because of weather conditions and 25% of US accidents and 30% in Europe are weather-and-environment-related.

text: Yup, I know it may not seem like a huge number to some, but hey I think it's really exciting and I love all of you guys so I want to give you a little something back for supporting me thus far! I haven't been blogging very long, but the support from the community and all of you guys has been awesome. I'm currently on 49 subscribers, but I thought I'd go ahead and announce it now anyway. Many of you probably have this, but the gift I got was Half Life 2 for PC. I wanted to pick something from my favourite games list and Half Life 2 is way up there as you can see. If you haven't played it, you're seriously missing out and so hopefully I'll be able to rectify that! I'll announce more details when I hit 50 subscribers, but essentially you'll just have to be subscribed or subscribe if you haven't already, probably leave a comment indicating you want in and have Steam. Anyways, more information will be coming soon!

As everyone who watches Raw knows, WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens is currently embroiled in a feud with Seth Rollins that includes thievery of a piece of paper and best friends' loyalties being vaguely threatened. All that will be put on hold for the next few weeks, however (not really), as Owens focuses on being part of the Raw Survivor Series team. But what comes next for our beleaguered champion of the universe?
First reported by Dave Meltzer at the Wrestling Observer, the current plan (which, as always, is subject to change) is to follow up Survivor Series with a champion vs. champion feud between Roman Reigns and Owens for the month of December. That would potentially include the December Raw pay-per-view, Roadblock. (Yes, there was already a Roadblock this year. Maybe this will be El Hijo De Roadblock. Roadblock 2: Block Roader. You know that we here at With Spandex are big fans of all wrestling Roadblocks.)
UPDATE: It's already official!
So yeah, once Owens puts Rollins behind him (for the time being), he'll move on to United States Champion Roman Reigns. And we all remember what happened the last time the world champ feuded with the U.S. champ: Jon Stewart got all up in the mix. So look for Owens to retain at Roadblock when John Oliver runs in to EVISCERATE Roman Reigns' inconsistent political ideologies.

MOSCOW, September 28. /TASS/. Russia may build the first manned base on the surface of the Moon in 2030, the chief of the nuclear planetology department at the Russian Academy of Sciences' Space Research Institute, Igor Mitrofanov, told TASS on Friday.
On Monday, Roscosmos corporation said Russia had plans for building its own base for space crews on the surface of the Moon. The possibility of cooperation with NASA or BRICS countries is being considered, the corporation said.
"I believe that Russia's first inhabitable module on the surface of the Moon will emerge around 2030 or a little later. It will be the first forepost. Not a full-scale base yet, but a kind of guest house for visiting expeditions," Mitrofanov said. He believes that Russia is capable of carrying out such a program on its own both technologically and financially.
The first module of such a base will be equivalent in size to the module of the International Space Station. It will be planted firmly on the Moon's surface and covered with a one-meter thick layer of lunar soil, which would protect it even from the effects of strong solar flares.
Mitrofanov said Russian cosmonauts would be able to move to the module from landing capsules, which are relatively small in size. The module would be equipped with a life support system using lunar resources, including water ice, which might be used to make fresh water and oxygen and, in the longer term, hydrogen that might serve as propellant in space rockets.
