With Sadio Mane out injured during October, Liverpool struggled in the big games, suffering a heavy 4-1 defeat to Tottenham, while stuttering in disappointing draws against the likes of Newcastle and rivals Manchester United.
However, despite returning against West Ham recently in a convincing 4-1 win, the Liverpool Echo reports that Mane could miss further action in the Premier League, after reports from the Senegalese national team have emerged that the lightning quick attacker has suffered a recurrence of an old hamstring injury following international duty.
Reds Talisman Sadio Mane Admits Watching Liverpool From the Sidelines Makes Him 'Shake' With Nerves @ben_crtr https://t.co/Mx3iq7UBvm— LiverpoolPro (@LiverpoolPro) November 15, 2017
With manager Jurgen Klopp recently admitting it's a 'concern', the ex-Saints forward could miss the tie at Anfield against his former club, after helping Senegal to qualify for their first World Cup since 2002.
Sources suggest his inclusion will be touch and go up to kick-off, as the 25-year-old is expected to sit out training at the clubs Melwood facility on Wednesday and Thursday.
With 90 minutes under his belt for Senegal in the 2-0 victory against South Africa, and his return against the Irons ahead of schedule, rushing the forward back into match contention before he is ready physically could have ramifications for the Reds as they push to climb up the Premier League table.
Nevertheless, as Mane is expected to return for training before the weekend's game, sources suggest he could still play a part in the home fixture against Southampton.
However, with Mane remaining a potential doubt, England midfielder Adam Lallana could be close to a return and his first appearance of the season in Mane's place.
Another signing from Southampton, who is reportedly making great strides towards the first team, has been 'flying' in training since his injury in the summer against Atletico Madrid in a friendly.

Ashar came again. There is a lot of showers falling all day. Well, it comes to monastery in Cinepara, how is it shooting? Rain is a blessing for anyone? Curse for anyone? There are many events in the rainy season! Let's know some of them in the rain to eat the nut and smoke-teasing tea in the rain.
A rainy day in Bengali movie reminds many memories. The wave of Satyajit Ray's pathpawaliradurga-Apur, the rain of Vipas still makes many memories of childhood fresh. Again, Anna Ghosh's dance with Runa Laila, 'This Rainwaza Night Do not Go', is an example of an ideal rain show in Rangchung of traditional dhuliude trend. Various forms of rain were shown in our films in different colors. It is sometimes seen that in the film, there is a rain shower scene, which does not always accompany the film, only meets the hunger of the eye. Once again, a rain show is uniquely identical with the story of the picture!
Rainfall can be separated from the pictures of Humayun Ahmed? His audition day, two days, and my pictures on the rainy scenes in the pictures of Nishashovan. The mind is filled up. Nor does Jahidur Rahim Anjhen's Meghmalla show rainy aesthetic use in the picture. Khizir Hayat Khan's Jago movie also got wet in the rain. There are many other such films that have rain, monsoon, and this is the kind of season that our directors have made in the film.
Poor rain, just chat
A couple of weeks ago After seeing the condition of the sky, the director decided to set the date of shooting for the movie hollywood. Place Cox's Bazar The two main actors Ferdous and Moushumi went to Cox's Bazar on the plane from Dhaka. There will be pictures of the song and some scenes shooting. After that the camera of this movie will be closed – said the seasonal Mousumi. The director took two days' schedule from the hero and heroine. So, in the meantime, the job must be done in the end. Keep the return ticket for the aircraft.
It was not possible to shoot for the scheduled two days. There was a rainy rain. They have spent time sitting in the hotel and chatting with them. On the day when he returned to Dhaka, the director decided to shoot the sky with the permission of the hero-heroine.
Thinking about the director, the hero and hero also agreed to continue the work. But at the end of the whole shooting could not finish, but the scene of the two scenes and songs of the song were returned to Dhaka.
When the rain is blessed
On that day, rain was a blessing for Ferdous, but there was a blessing in the beginning. At the end of the sudden film director Bashu Chatterjee did not want artificial rain. Ferdous said, "I have been shooting in the street of Galiyahat in Kolkata. At the end of the movie, Priyanka was waiting for three days for the actual rain in the scene to meet me. Two days of shooting indoors part of the shooting. And one day I could not do any work, I just waited for rain. Then the rain is also helpful for us. We could do the job as we wanted.
Due to rain in the rain
During the shooting of Boshigiri film, due to the rain, due to rain, the director Shamim Ahmed Rony was to have great danger. It took two days to capture a fight for a general movie. There was an obstacle in the boss Giri movie that there was a six-day delay to finish the fight. The actor said, "We were shooting at Bashundhara's three hundred feet. Fight scene When the rain started, sit in the car and ran. I used to come home for a long time due to rain. After the rain stopped coming out of the house and going to the spot, Jhumpa was started. It may seem like a coincidence, but it has happened in that time of shooting the scene of the fight. Because of this, two days of work ended in six days.
During the shooting of this time, the heroine of the country, Bubblo Boshiri, the movie was rained down. "We had to shoot in the rainy season during the rainy season. When the sun was raining in the rain, I used to shoot. Suddenly there is a jum rain in the coldest sunshade. When there is a drag, then wait for stop. As we used to shoot in the rain, so mentally we are ready. But as far as it seemed, production costs increased so much.
Jhum rain in the rain below
Arifin Shuve and Nusrat Faria went to Bandarban's 'Pick Six Nine' during the mid-year's shooting of Premioprima. The entire work of the set was completed a week before the shooting spot. Dropped rain On the starting day of the shooting, the entire set was lindwand in a heavy rain. They could not make the shooting like that day. According to Arifin Shuvo, there is a loss of around Tk 10 lakh.
The next day the weather was not very favorable. Remembering that day, Shuvo said, 'I saw a sudden fog in the morning. We are sitting from eight in the morning. Cameraman was sent to the location. He said in the verdict, 'I can not see myself in the fog. What's the shooting? I waited till eight in the morning. After the fog was cut, a beautiful scene was captured. Then it starts with Jhoom rain, with wind. We kept the tripphere where we were. The wind and the rain were so much that the tripping of the tripartite. We all stayed on Tripoli with the shooting.
This is what happened to Arifin Shuvo on the subject discussed in mind. The director of the whole unit went to Sylhet's Jaflong to shoot the movie titled 'Touching Man'. The rain started to stop there. There was no arrangement around. So, the rain stopped, and the rest was in the car with the shot, said Shuvo.

Did you notice how a lot of the pictures involve women in all their female kinkyness? Interestingly enough I find that I am more drawn to these pictures than those of men. Sexy snaps of men always to me has a sort of fonyness to them. I don't know if maybe I just haven't been to the right places yet - but it has been hard finding postable kinkyness involving men.
& I must even admit that today I will be posting a few shots with some very naked men - but without their heads... So now you are warned. This blogpost is not for kids.
Oh btw - Men do turn me on. I mean I like guys. A lot. But apparently not when they are posing too much... I wonder why that is?
Pretty please do share your opinion on these thoughts & this post with me & let me know if you are very much offended by them?
P.S. don't tell my gran I posted dicks in my latest blog entry:-)

CalTrout joined Vail Resort's Epic Promise Day 2017, leading restoration activities in the Kirkwood Mountain meadows. Over 100 hard-working volunteers showed up, and formed teams to take on tasks, including stream back stabilization in 6 different locations, trail restoration and maintenance, cleaning up barbed wire, old fence posts, and trash (3 truckloads full!) left over from historic cattle and equestrian operations.
High sierra meadows like Kirkwood are a critically important component of a functioning ecosystem, serving as important habitat for fish and lots of other wildlife, but can become degraded easily from human misconduct. Protecting these cold water habitats is not only crucial for animals, but for downstream water users as well. Healthy meadows promote water security for our state, working as natural water reservoirs. (Restoring Sierra headwater meadows is one of CalTrout's Key Initiatives. Visit our site to learn more about our meadows work, including the plan to restore 30,000 acres by 2030.)
We are very thankful for all of the volunteers and organizers who accomplished this great work, and to Vail Resorts and Kirkwood Mountain Resort for being good stewards of their watershed.

Christmas is going to be so fly for sneakerheads, as Nike dropped the new Midnight Fog variation of their Air VaporMax shoe on Black Friday. These kicks are going to go fast, so find out how to get your hands on a pair.
What's blacker than black on Black Friday? The newest version of Nike's Air VaporMax shoe, that's what. The line released the "Midnight Fog" variation of the kick on Nov. 24, giving sneakerheads and fashionable footwear fans a reason to get up and out of bed on Black Friday. This shoe, which retails for about $ 190, according to Kicks On Fire, is on sale at select Nike stores on Black Friday. For those who had a little too much Thanksgiving Turkey and slept in, don't worry. These shoes will be available online for Cyber Monday (that's Nov. 27, btw.)
So, what sets these new VaporMax shoes apart, besides the hauntingly dark Midnight Fog colorway? Well, besides the snazzy new colors – which feature a olive-tinted version of the trademark Swoosh – the shoe replaces the customary Flyknit upper with mesh and an additional synthetic paneling, according to Sneaker News. What does that all mean? Well when a fan turns off the light, the shoe shines in the dark with an iridescent glow. This isn't glow in the dark – this is something much cooler. It's perfect for late night jog – or if someone just wants to take a walk around the block. Sweet.
If that wasn't enough to get a shoe-enthusiast psyched, Nike announced that they will release an Off-White x Nike Air VaporMax in black in 2018, according to Kicks On Fire. The brand Off-White is all over this predominantly black shoe, which will have a black tongue, a mini orange tab on the swoosh and clear VaporMax sole. These kicks will retail for a price of $ 250 when they hit the streets at stores and online in 2018, so for those who missed out on the Midnight Fog, save those pennies.
Are you psyched for the new VaporMax shoes, HollywoodLifers? Are you going to try to get the Midnight Fog or are you going to hold out for the Off-White x Nike version?

The New CTV News App: CANADA'S MOST TRUSTED NEWS. ANYTIME. ANYWHEREDOWNLOAD
Live Now:
CTV News Channel
Despite growing evidence that repeated influenza vaccination may weaken the body's ability to fight the virus, annual flu shots remain the recommendation among researchers and doctors who say 'some protection is better than no protection.'
As the Public Health Agency of Canada prepares for what could be a long and severe flu season, one Ontario man is urging everyone to get the vaccine before it's too late.
With an average 12,200 people hospitalized every year because of the flu, Canadians are reminded to practice good hygiene habits, get the flu shot, and be on the lookout for worsening symptoms when sick.
This year's flu season will likely be a bad one, Ontario's health minister said Monday, and the province is stocking up on extra high-strength vaccines in preparation.
Health officials in the U.S. say further research has not found a miscarriage risk for women who get annual flu shots.
As the number of flu cases spikes in New Brunswick, health professionals are sounding the alarm that not enough people are getting the flu shot.
The flu season in Canada has started earlier this year than in recent years, with younger people and children seemingly more susceptible to the viral illness.
Cases of seasonal influenza have already begun to show up in Canada, and public health officials say that means it's time to get that jab in the arm -- not only to prevent the flu for yourself but also to help avoid spreading the nasty respiratory bug to others.
A new multi-country study co-authored by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control says the influenza vaccine can reduce a pregnant woman's risk of flu-associated hospitalization by an average of 40 per cent.
An American federal panel says it's OK for doctors to start using a kid-friendly nasal spray flu vaccine again.
Getting the flu shot won't make you spread the disease more, doesn't weaken your immune system but it does offer some protection from getting infected, despite misleading claims on social media.

This post includes affiliate links. Thanks for supporting Seersucker Sass blog!
Growing up, reading was a huge part of my life. My mamaw was a librarian, and I'm so fortunate that her love of books was instilled in me. I was never good at sports, but you know those contests in elementary school where you got a certificate for reading the most books in a school year? Those were my jam.
I started really reading again this summer, because I could not turn my mind off at night. Reading before bed does so much for my mental state! I'm also right in the middle of work travel season and reading on the plane reduces my anxiety so much. Wouldn't it be wonderful if books were covered by insurance?! 😉
If you're curious about what I'm currently reading, look no further! I'm not usually reading so many books at one time, but I'm hoping to finish them all pretty soon.
You Are a Badass • I wasn't really sure if I was going to like this book. Self-help books are usually hit or miss for me, and typically more miss than hit. I told myself I'd take this book chapter by chapter and a little at a time… I read a fourth of the book in a few hours. So good.
The author, Jen, totally gets that sometimes embracing methods from a self help book can seem kind of silly, and she walks you through the process. I cannot wait to finish this book and see how it changes my life.
Can You Keep a Secret? • I love Sophie Kinsella novels. I like to read before bed to unwind, and her books are perfect for that. Can You Keep a Secret tells the story of Emma Corrigan. Emma's life is pretty normal, until she's having the worst day ever, her plane experiences turbulence, and because of that, she spills all of her secrets like word vomit.
This one is a little slower moving than some of her other books, but I have really enjoyed it. If you like lighthearted fiction, you will enjoy Sophie's books.
Literally Me • If you are not following Julie Houts on Instagram, you are missing out. (Vogue deemed her Instagram's favorite illustrator!) Not only are her illustrations beautiful, but they are extremely relatable. Julie's book is a combination of illustrations and hilarious, ridiculous essays that will having you laughing until you're crying.
Rise and Shine • I misplaced this book, and I haven't been in much of a rush to finish it now that I've found it. (This is also the second time that I've tried to read it.) It's the story of two sisters – Meghan, the host of a the country's highest rated morning talk show, and Bridget, a social worker in the Bronx. When Meghan curses on air, her world goes into a tailspin, and this is the story of what happens next. It's well-written with a great storyline, I have just been struggling to get into it.
Sisters First • When I was in college, I had an intense fascination with families in politics. (If you share that fascination, you must read this book.) However, when I graduated college and became an adult with bills and taxes to file, my fascination with politics turned into total disdain. But when I saw the Bush twins memoir at Target, I had to pick it up. My goal is to work away on it during Thanksgiving break!
I have no idea why, but this has been one of my most difficult posts to write. Kudos to people who write book reviews for their blogs! It is not easy, shew.

You might remember last year it was sadly reported in the local media, that a motorcyclist had died following a crash along Gunthorpe Road on Friday, July 28.
This is not the first fatality on this particular stretch of road.
You might remember last year it was sadly reported in the local media, that a motorcyclist had died following a crash along Gunthorpe Road on Friday, July 28.
This is not the first fatality on this particular stretch of road.
At a meeting of Full Council last year, I stood up (once more) and raised my concerns about Gunthorpe Road, and asked Tory Councillor Peter Hiller, Cabinet Member for Growth, Planning, Housing and Economic Development, the following question:
"I have been contacted by local residents about the issue of speeding along Gunthorpe Road. Could the relevant Cabinet Member tell me if:
Did you know it's been 6 years since the Norwood School fence issue was finally settled? Initially, things were running smoothly, but that now seems to have changed?
Since the initial voluntary key holders were no longer able to continue locking and unlocking the gates at the weekends, the school has done nothing to ensure that the gates, as per the agreement and signage that hangs on the fence, are open to members of public, outside of school hours.
I've since been contacted by local residents, and in response I stood up and raised the issue at a meeting of Full Council.
I asked Cllr John Holdich, Tory leader of Peterborough City Council, if he could provide me, and residents, with a response as to what they can do to make sure that the school does unlock the gates outside of school hours, to benefit local children, enabling them to play safely, make the land accessible to wheelchair users, and encourage the use of this green open space for a range of leisure activities?
Map of Location: https://goo.gl/maps/Fr8hhVJ3epu
Councillor Holdich responded:
"Initially and for the first few years of the use of the field, the school caretaker was opening the school field at around 4.15 after school clubs finished, and then the 21 members of the community were locking the gates at dusk to prevent access during dark and prevent unwanted use. This was the agreement for community use. There have been several different community key holders over this period.
"Unfortunately the community failed in locking the gates in the evening and so the gates remained open all night. As a matter of safeguarding and preventing night time use the school decided to leave the gates locked. This has appeared to have been no problem whatsoever as far as the school is aware no complaints to the school made in the last two of years and therefore the gates have remained locked."
Do you agree with Tory Cllr Holdich that the "community failed" on this?
Do you think its strange that land owned by local people and tax payers, is inaccessible despite an agreement to make it so, that wheelchair users specifically are affected, and why a school that employs a caretaker to open up and lock the other gates at the front of the school, can't afford the time to do the same for the ones on the field?
Following concerns raised by local residents, about the play field to the rear of Norwood School and that it had been consistently locked, the City Council have now confirmed that they will be unlocked for the remainder of the Summer holidays, allowing members of the community to access it, instead of jumping over the fence.
Commenting, local LIB DEM ward councillor, Darren Fower said:
"I received several queries as to why the gates had been consistently locked, despite the good weather and that the holidays are on, a time when young people are looking for somewhere to go and kick a football about etc
"It seems, having looked into this, that there has been something of a communication breakdown, but this has now been resolved. The school have agreed they will leave the gates open for the remainder of the holidays and the Council have said they'll ask for a report on how things have gone from the school after that.
"Obviously it's impossible to guarantee that they'll be no problems, but the field is there for the community outside of school hours and therefore they should at least be able to access it and make use of the clean, green area for a bit of fun!"
Cllr Darren Fower tells us that he's asked that the City Council copy him in on the subsequent report and hopes that a solution during school term can also be secured, adding that "… the School is part of the community and in reflection the community must be there for the school."

I have seen this question on numerous discussion boards, forums and blogs and I felt that there are certain buzz words which are been repeatedly being told to audience without realizing that audience understand it or not. Some common phrases like
- "ERP is for data input and BI is for data retrieval".
- "ERP is an OLTP system and BI is an OLAP System"
- "You can do more analytical reporting in BI".
- "BI provides single version of truth"
- "ERP reports are for day to day needs only" etc
I will try to explain the difference for a non-IT business user giving some examples. Two phrases which I mentioned earlier were:
"ERP is for data input and BI is for data retrieval"…
"ERP is an OLTP system and BI is an OLAP System"…
That's right. ERP software being an Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) system is used to record/edit transactions as and when these happen. The data architecture is designed in such a way that it provides maximum speed in recording a transaction keeping disk space utilization at a minimum. For those of you know who know about IT, this is the application of normalization in a database environment. BI on the other hand being an Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) system provides you robust access to different reports, dashboards and balanced scorecards. Now lets see how ERP reporting is different from BI reporting using a very simple case scenario.
Alpha Company, Inc is in the business of Food & Beverages. Mike is company's Sales Director and wants to see the sales report for January 2009. A typical ERP system will generate a report like this:
Now what if Mike wants to analyze the report based on geographic region and compare it with last month's sales. He doesn't want to see the products appearing row wise. Instead he requires products to appear column wise and show the sales amount of respective geographic region in rows. Developer Buddies!! Remember cross tab / pivot table reports ??? But don't think Mike's expectations are going to end here. He also wants to compare these figures with previous months figures in the same report. Wait here. Still don't think its end of the demands. Mike also wants to show the dropped sales figure in different color. So it needs to be like this
A typical ERP system doesn't have enough capability to support this. Although there are cross tab / pivot table reports available in latest tools like ORACLE and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (and above) but they are:
- Very Complicated,
- Very Slow
- Put a lot of burden on processor
- Time series comparisons (between Jan 09 & Dec 08)
- Drill Down (e.g. on regions)
- Ability of OLAP to do cross tab/pivot table format
Watch out for my next post on this blog. Your comments/thoughts are always welcome.

Coming up Next Week…
Voices From The Wilderness
South and West Yorkshire artists John Wilkinson and John Ledger are staging a joint exhibition themed around the impact of deindustrialisation on the North. The exhibition features paintings, large scale biro art and video installation and will include an evening of music/performance and poetry featuring Sheffield poets Kevin Titterton and Liz Ferrets, and freeform impro/experimental group Piggle, to add words and music to the dialogue. The exhibition is in Sheffield's gage gallery, appropriately located in the industrial hinterland of Shalesmoor.
Both artists have been working and exhibiting for a number of years, with solo shows in Sheffield, Leeds, Barnsley, Congleton and Northwich. Working to similar themes, both artists create spaces that draw the viewer in; these are landscapes that can be wandered through, with hidden corners, nooks and crannies to explore and investigate. What results is a darkly vibrant and often colourful response to the social and physical landscape that has emerged as the region tries to reshape itself following the decline of its industrial base. These works place us firmly in a landscape torn apart, and examine the options that are presented to try and fill the hole that has been left in both our communities and, consequently, in our atomised, and increasingly 'Iphone-dependent' lives. Created landscapes based on the history of the deindustrialising north draw attention to the human tendency to destroy in order to create. Works drawn from and examining the roles of media, both social and imposed, explore our emotional response to the issues of a global community in crisis. Collectively these ask the question: Are we ghosts trapped in a machine of our own making? The works are designed to evoke a recognition of and stimulate a personal appraisal of our place in this landscape, at an emotional, social and physical level. Dark as they may be, the works ask for a sense of defiance; a refusal to give in to apathy and fatalism; two factors that drive this arguably zombie-set of ideas of how the world should be organised.
Voices From The Wilderness opens on Friday 18th Sept 2015 at 6.30pm with a preview evening and runs from 11am – 4pm every day until 4pm 1st Oct. The music/performance and poetry event will start at 7pm on the 25th Sept and once again all are welcome. Access to the exhibition and both events is free and all are welcome to attend. The show is held at Gage gallery, KIAC, Lion Works, 40 Ball St, Sheffield S3 8DB.
Examples of works:
"We Gotta Get Out of This Place" (John Wilkinson)
THE LONG NIGHT OF A NEEDLESS STORM (John Ledger)
The Electric Picture House Open 2015
I will be showing my drawings '…Coils Tightening' and 'Feverish' in this year's Electric Picture House Open, at the Electric Picture House, Cross Street, Congleton, Cheshire, CW12 1HQ
The Tide of Society – Upcoming Exhibition
"Make it short and sharp!!……….snappy and to the point!!………………….."
Artworks central to the battle to retain what I think is me, amidst the mental barrage of mass persuasion, whilst trying to swim upstream against the tide of society.

Dave's 3-Word Review:
Worthless and Forgettable.
When you think "horror", you typically think of the three most prominent film franchises in the genre: Halloween, Friday the 13th, and A Nightmare on Elm Street. That doesn't mean the whole series is as good as the original. In fact, most of the time, these seemingly never-ending sequels are considered little more than money-grabbers. The only reason they are made, apart from money, is to have everyone's most favorite and memorable villain return to the screen. Maybe the reason we automatically think of these films is because there are so many sequels, and not because of how good they are. A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child is a prime example of what's wrong with endless horror sequels.
Alice, otherwise known as the Dream Master, returns in this film. This time around, she's preggers and Freddy's coming to collect. You see, after he came back in the dream world, he found that he may be able to be "reborn", if you will, into the real world by taking possession of Alice's unborn child. She decides the only way to stop Freddy now is to somehow track down the spirit of Freddy's long-lost dead mother. Only she can stop him…apparently.
Let's talk about how Freddy comes back this time, since his comeback last time was due to dog pee, see my review of A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 for more on that. This time, we are sent into a dream in the form of a memory. It is Freddy's mother giving birth to him. He is born looking burnt. Psycho-baby-Freddy skiddles out of the room, finds the church he was killed in the last movie, and digs himself up. Sound legit? Sadly, this was better than dog pee, but I find myself wanting to see the former instead. Whoever writes this stuff doesn't understand anything…dog pee? Mutated demon baby? Why can't you just have a satanic cult chant a spell to get him back like the rest of us?
Okay, so Alice is back and everything, but apparently has lost the title of "Dream Master"? It doesn't technically say it in that many words, but that's certainly how it appears. One of the best parts of the previous film was her development of abilities. Well, I guess those wear thin, because this time the film was focusing more on the Dream Child, which is, of course, the Dream Master's child.
To be fair, I like the concept of the Dream Child. I like it because I love when movies come full circle; it's kind of poetic in a sense. Was it necessary, not at all, in fact it shouldn't have been done at all. All of those Elm Street kids are long dead now, so Freddy really shouldn't be going after Alice…or anyone else at that matter…but he does. Ay, there lies the rub. Sure, Alice played a part in killing him in the last film…but he always returns, why take vengeance when you know there is always a way to return? For fun? Okay, but that still feels like its stretching it.
Next, if you remember correctly, I complained about the second film in regards to inanimate objects moving on their own…The same can be said for this film, when people are clearly wide awake…things not only move, but they move as if they were actually in a dream. So it comes back to the problem the second film had…losing the mission of the first. The only thing it has going for it is the Dream Child element. Even that wasn't presented in the best light.
In the end, you just can't call A Nightmare on Elm Street a horror series anymore…you can't. I can almost literally see the writers sitting back and saying, "People don't want scary, they just want Freddy – regardless of genre". So that's what they give you, and give Freddy enough puns to last a lifetime…yeah this series has lost its mission. They have completely forgotten that when he was originally introduced, it was done very simply…a scary villain is out to kill you as you sleep. That's enough to give you nightmares. He was portrayed as a very dark villain, always in the shadows, slow-speaking and demonic. Now he's all…laughing at his own puns. What is that?
It is pretty obvious at this point that The Dream Child is where the series dies. Sure, New Nightmare is better when that shows up, but obviously not done in the same story arc. So as the main arc, you shouldn't probably go further than part four. Come back for New Nightmare, though. I'll still review part six, but I'm kind of dreading it right about now.

The Twelfth Annual Session has passed into the history of the College. There can be no doubt, judging by the almost universal comment, that as far as the General Sessions were concerned this was the most successful meeting the College has yet carried out. Many of the addresses were concerned with clinical and experimental material of the highest order, even epoch-making in certain instances. The others represented important reviews and résumés of clinical questions of prime importance, and from every one of them some important fact or viewpoint could be obtained. An unusual degree of interest was shown by the

Amos A. Lawrence "forwarded" a message he had received from J. C. Palmer of Sharps' Rifle Manufacturing Company to James B. Abbott in Lawrence, Kansas Territory. Palmer's note to Lawrence assured the correct quantity and quality of merchandise would be sent to Kansas Territory. Lawrence displays an interesting criticism of Palmer and the Sharps' Company in the letter forwarded to Abbott: he added a tag to Palmer's own signature "J. C. Palmer Pres[ident]", which read, "of a corporation that has no soul." Lawrence went on to implore to Abbott to work cooperatively with Colonel E. V. Sumner against all disturbances of the peace, not just those originating with proslavery men. He cautioned that "no circumstances can authorize opposition to the U. S. Gov't even to the meanest of its representations."

The Top 10 City Hotels in Greater Los Angeles in 2018
Unlike in most cities, L.A.'s power players see hotels as a go-to for professional and social gatherings. Wander down to breakfast at the Peninsula Beverly Hills, and you're sure to spot studio heads eating egg-white frittatas with aspiring screenwriters. Book a banquette for lunch at the Beverly Hills Hotel's iconic Polo Lounge and you'll likely be a table away from actors taking a break from shopping on Rodeo Drive. But no matter your day job, all of these hotels will make you feel like a celebrity.
Every year for our World's Best Awards survey, T+L asks readers to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe — to share their opinions on the top hotels, resorts, cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. Hotels were rated on their facilities, location, service, food, and overall value. Properties were classified as city or resort based on their locations and amenities.
Related: The 2018 World's Best Awards
On the list this year are relative newcomers, such as Montage Beverly Hills, which opened in 2008 and has multiple restaurants and a rooftop pool with cabanas. "Drinks and live music at the Garden Bar was a fantastic experience," raved one fan. Another nascent addition is the InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown, a perfect pick for those who wish to tower above the scene in a 73-story glass building. And the year-old, 170-room Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, which boasts a La Prairie spa and a rooftop Jean-Georges Vongerichten restaurant, elicited the reader assessment "Best new hotel in Los Angeles. Amazing!"

Under the Never Sky
by Veronica Rossi
Book: Under the Never Sky #1
Publisher: HarperCollins
Pub Date: Jan 3 2012
Genre: Young Adult
Format: Paperback
Source: Borrowed
Book Links: Goodreads Amazon Book Depository
Since she'd been on the outside, she'd survived an Aether storm, she'd had a knife held to her throat, and she'd seen men murdered. This was worse.
Exiled from her home, the enclosed city of Reverie, Aria knows her chances of surviving in the outer wasteland - known as The Death Shop - are slim. If the cannibals don't get her, the violent, electrified energy storms will. She's been taught that the very air she breathes can kill her. Then Aria meets an Outsider named Perry. He's wild - a savage - and her only hope of staying alive.
A hunter for his tribe in a merciless landscape, Perry views Aria as sheltered and fragile - everything he would expect from a Dweller. But he needs Aria's help too; she alone holds the key to his redemption. Opposites in nearly every way, Aria and Perry must accept each other to survive. Their unlikely alliance forges a bond that will determine the fate of all who live under the never sky.
My Review: Aria is banished from her home after some events that occured. She is thrown from the aircraft and into a world she hasn't a clue about. She must now learn to live, or risk death. So she tries to do her best to live. Along the way she meets Perry, who is a savage. Perry doesn't find her kind good, so he isn't afraid to hurt her feelings. Soon they basically find that they need each other, because what they want is pretty much the same thing. So this book is told in two different ways. Aria's way and Perry's way. Now if I had to pick, I'd say Aria's views are my favorite. For some reason her views got me more interested into the story, where Perry's version had my attention some chapters, while he lost my interest in others. I do like that it was written this way, because without it, we wouldn't be able to get into Perry's head the way that we did. Now Aria is cool. She is smart and tries getting the truth about everything. She is and Perry don't have a thing for eachother, and she knows that Perry is pretty much just using her until he gets what he wants. However just like in any good story with awesome characters, they fall in love eventually. It's a good relationship. It wasn't like some other storys where it's rushed, and that they already know everything about each other. It's like a true relationship that took its time, and learned things about each other the way it should be. So it's safe to say that they are one of my favorite couples. Now on the overall book it was just amazing! It's one of those books, that you have to drop everything and get it.

Rainforest Jasper Sterling Silver Wire Wrapped Beaded Bracelet
This bracelet is hand-crafted with 22 gauge sterling silver round wire and an arrangement of 6mm Rainforest Jasper round beads. I make these to order. This is a representation of the bracelet you will receive.
Metaphysical Properties of Rainforest Jasper:
Stimulates insight into more creative ways of expressing difficult things such as problems, anxieties, solutions, etc. This is a perfect pocket piece to carry when one faces a confrontation. It may assist one in laying down and ridding the self of burdens which no longer act to serve ones life. Dispels procrastination and eliminates distractions. Has been used to activate contact with loved ones who have ascended to other planes. Also can be used in communication with animals.
The Clasp:
The bracelet is secured with a basic hook and eye closure made of wire. The eye is oval shaped so that the "clasp" doesn't slip out. To secure the bracelet simply turn the clasp slightly and slide it into the eye.
The Length:
Because this isn't a flat bracelet, sizing can be a little tricky. When choosing a size, go 1/2″ more than your actual wrist size to accommodate for the space taken up by the beads. For example, if your wrist measures 7″, then you would choose the 7-1/2″ size. If your wrist is 6″ or smaller, order the 7″ size and leave a note (there will be a place) with your actual wrist size. I can determine the best length with the information provided.
Extended Wear Recommendations
It is not recommended to wear this type of bracelet 24/7 like you can with the rings. The wire will bend and can cause breakage. It is covered under warranty if something like that happened. Daily wear is fine, but keep in mind that limited movement of the wire and clasp will extend the life of your bracelet, and will be less likely to need repairs in the future :)
Metaphysical properties obtained from Kristi Huggins of ForTheLoveOfCrystals.

TechDirt.com reported Monday:
"A whole bunch of organizations and individuals are getting together today to launch the beginning of a process, the creation of an Internet Declaration of Freedom. We've seen how the internet has been under attack from various directions, and we recognize that it's time to make that stop. The internet is an incredible platform that we want to grow and to thrive, and thus, a very large coalition got together to produce the following document as a starting point, hoping to kick off a much larger discussion which we hope you'll join in."
The preamble to the Declaration of Internet Freedom says:
"We believe that a free and open Internet can bring about a better world. To keep the Internet free and open, we call on communities, industries and countries to recognize these principles. We believe that they will help to bring about more creativity, more innovation and more open societies.
We are joining an international movement to defend our freedoms because we believe that they are worth fighting for.Let's discuss these principles — agree or disagree with them, debate them, translate them, make them your own and broaden the discussion with your community — as only the Internet can make possible.Join us in keeping the Internet free and open."
The declaration itself says:
Here's a text version:
Declaration of Internet FreedomWe stand for a free and open Internet. We support transparent and participatory processes for making Internet policy and the establishment of five basic principles:
- Expression: Don't censor the Internet.
- Access: Promote universal access to fast and affordable networks.
- Openness: Keep the Internet an open network where everyone is free to connect, communicate, write, read, watch, speak, listen, learn, create and innovate.
- Innovation: Protect the freedom to innovate and create without permission. Don't block new technologies, and don't punish innovators for their users' actions.
- Privacy: Protect privacy and defend everyone's ability to control how their data and devices are used.
What do you think about The Declaration of Internet Freedom and related legislation to regulate the Internet like SOPA, PIPA, and ACTA?

Synopsis: Dr. Shaun Murphy's attention to detail complicates his first day; Dr. Claire Browne learns a valuable lesson about honesty when confronted with a difficult diagnosis for her patient. (TV Guide)
Writer: David Shore
Director: Mike Listo
Rating: TV-14
Running Time: 41mins
Last week, we got to meet Dr. Shaun Murphy and now we get to see him on his first full day at the hospital. This day proved to be a real test for his social skills which were different from normal people because of his condition but surprisingly, he wasn't the only to learn a lesson here.
Even in a new location, Murphy still lives the same regimented life. His first day on the job was not without incident. He started off late to work which gave Melendez something easy to hold over him. He already thought less of Murphy due to his condition anyway. During his first few consultations, he spoke a little too bluntly with the patients, scaring them and rubbing the other doctors the wrong way.
Perhaps because of this, Murphy was relegated to scout work while the other doctors prepped for surgery on a woman named Stephanie (Nancy Stone) who suffered from a malignant tumour between her aorta and left kidney. Despite other hospital members' objections, Melendez didn't see anything wrong with how he was treating Murphy and believed that he was not being prejudicial.
The other lesson of the episode was for Dr. Claire Browne (Antonia Thomas). When speaking with Stephanie, she made a series of promises to her, saying that she would be okay after the surgery. This practice was frowned upon by the hospital's legal department and added unneeded pressure on her and clouded her judgement. Her promises came under scrutiny when they later learned that they would have to remove her left kidney in other to get access to the tumour. Once Browne was forced to tell her what they did, Stephanie didn't give her the chance since she didn't care what they did since she could still go to her son's wedding.
Murphy took the scout work very seriously, more than he probably had to, in diagnosing other patients. He wanted to be thorough so he decided to perform a series of unnecessary tests on them just to be sure. These tests caught the attention of Melendez's boss, Dr. Marcus Andrews (Hill Harper), leading him to put an end to his tests and give him a babysitter in a disgruntled nurse. His most notable patient was a young girl named Martine (Britt Loder) with what appeared to be some stomach discomfort. Melendez dismissed it as a simple tummy ache but Murphy thought it was a different condition that could potentially be fatal.
After doing some more tests, Murphy found out that she did have that fatal condition and decided to go to the parents' house to tell them. They did not take him seriously at first because of Murphy's strange personality and the fact that they had discharged her already but Murphy did not take no for an answer. This was quite the improvement for him as he was much different in a series of flashbacks of his time with his older brother showed.
When they checked up on Martine, we saw that Murphy was right and they took her back to the hospital. Another reason why this had significance to him was how they juxtaposed this with a scene where Glassman drove him and his older brother to the hospital after his accident. Now back at the hospital, Murphy got Martine into surgery without Melendez's approval and was about to perform the surgery until Melendez showed up and took over until Andrews demanded that he stay as Melendez's assistant but we later learned that he had a different motive in doing so. By empowering Murphy and having him fail would also get rid of Glassman and make him hospital president.
Overall, it was a great episode that improved on the premiere as the episode focused more on Murphy and his forray into the world on his first day at work. Murphy, again thanks to Highmore's great performance, was fun to watch as he tried to learn how to deal with people and pick up social cues like lying and sarcasm but he still cared as his drive to save people also showed here. Seeing him work his way up and prove himself will be compelling to watch.
Score: 9/10

I hear pregnant women say how afraid they are that breastfeeding is going to hurt. I see women who wince when their babies latch on. Every week, I train health care workers on how to prevent and relieve pain while breastfeeding by teaching them the importance of how the baby latches onto the breast of his mother.
If the latch is not right, it causes nipple pain: sometimes this can be pain at latch on and sometimes it can last throughout the whole feeding. You will hear people say some women's nipples are just too sensitive. Others will say, the mother's nipples were not prepared during pregnancy or the baby is breastfeeding too long. I even hear some people compare a baby to a barracuda! Ever hear that one? The "barracuda baby"? As if a baby can suck so hard on his mom that he will bite like a barracuda!
Those are myths. Babies are developed during pregnancy to know exactly how to breastfeed. They are not meant to bottle feed. But if that is the case, why do we sometimes see a baby that is not successful at latching on to his mother's breast? Why does it hurt sometimes? It's a little complicated but one thing we all need to remember:
"It is all in the latch!"
A full term healthy baby has the innate ability to suck at his mother's breast as soon as he is born. When put on his mother's chest, he will fret and jiggle until his mouth is near enough to the nipple to attempt to latch. He wants to survive and his survival is his mother's milk. Once he latches on, this first breastfeed enables him to practice his suck, and he will progressively get better and better at it. But that's just it: he knows how but he is learning. He needs your help, so this is what you can do:
A baby needs to open his mouth really wide when he latches on, as wide as when he yawns. Most mothers I see tell me their baby has too small a mouth and that he cannot open it so wide. Then I ask them to remember that their baby yawns. They must have seen him? Does he open wide? They then realize that they need to ask their baby to open really wide and to wait until he does so before bringing him to the breast.
Naturally, some babies will be better at it than others. Some will learn quickly while others will take a while. Usually, a baby who is born from an easy, unmedicated labour and delivery will do better than the one who went through a hard labour where his mother received an epidural or some pain medication. What also seems to help is when a baby is given to his mother right away and when he lays completely naked on his naked mother's chest. Another important element is to keep both mom and baby together and to wait until the baby breastfeeds before taking him away to weigh him, to put some drops in his eyes, or to do any type of intervention on him.
Babies who are "undisturbed" in their natural process of being born and who stay with their mother and on her naked chest, uninterrupted, will have an easier time with opening their mouth wide and latching on correctly.
But how do we get a baby to open wide?
We feel pretty powerless in front of babies who, we think, have few abilities. They actually can do a lot more than we realize because they have innate reflexes (which are like instincts). One of those reflexes is the sucking reflex. A baby knows how to breastfeed even in his mother's belly, as early as at 32 weeks of gestation. Another reflex a baby has is the rooting reflex. This is the reflex he uses to latch on. We see this reflex every time a newborn looks for the breast or when he tries to latch on. He does a slight shake of the head while opening his mouth at the same time. It is during the rooting reflex that he can open his mouth really wide. If we try to have a baby take the breast without this reflex, he will not be able to latch on. The rooting reflex allows him to put his tongue and his lips in the position that is necessary to latch on to the breast perfectly. Without that reflex, the baby just opens his mouth without any intention to suck and he will not able to breastfeed!
The NBCI web site provides good information on this and also presents short video clips that can help you see how a baby should latch. They show you the movement his mouth and jaw should make. Concentrate on the ones that have "latch" in the title.
