I'm back in the rolling rumble of the city and I'm so glad I cleaned again last time so now that I'm back again in the flat it's still cozy to come back to. I make it a habit to do a real scrub down and disinfecting of our little personally old-yet-new rented space every time upon returning then once again before I leave (the polluted fluff of the area does gather even if just under a week). We clean religiously to avoid getting sick or itchy in any way. We may not be the neatest two on a daily basis, but we can't stand dirty surroundings. We can live with clutter but our tolerance for dirt is low because of our allergic reactions (afflictions apparently can be teachers in disguise). My teenage brother maintains our place by sweeping and mopping when I'm not around, washing the dishes, taking out the trash, and doing his laundry. We like our floor to be so clean we can take our bare feet to it. Once we're six months in we'll probably take my Mom's high-powered rainbow vacuum cleaner over the entire place, but it will have an easy job by then since we clean so regularly. This time upon returning to the flat I was delighted to finally to oversee a relative's repair guy install our IKEA Melodi pendant ceiling lamp (Php950) which has just lifted the central room of our kitchen-dining area entirely.
The IKEA Melodi pendant lamp is I think their most affordable ceiling lamp in the whole category, but it still makes a dramatic difference when you hang it thoughtfully. It hangs here with an bright part-warm part-cool 9-watt LED bulb that I'm glad isn't too yellow (GES from ACE Hardware have this warm-cool blend) that's beautifully diffused by the faux/frosted plastic shade. Lots of people ask me if IKEA is now officially in Manila, the answer is no, but Furniture Source, the helpful resellers of IKEA and other foreign brands of homeware, have been around for ages bringing in some new designs by ikea together with bestseller faves. You might remember this post on the Php3,500 IKEA Glasholm desk I purchased from Furniture Source Philippines last year for my room in the South(@furnituresourcephils on IG) and this follow up post still with the same IKEA desk but paired with a Flototto pro chair which was a gift. Read on to see more photos and more home items and repair tasks I kept busy with yesterday, plus Furniture Source PH sent me a surprise because of my blog posts featuring them!
Because of the Melodi lamp the main focus of the light intensity is over the dining table unlike when it was just a bulb attached to our ceiling which made it feel like a storage room before. Now, there is direct light and the rest of the diffused light gently lights the kitchen-dining which is the central area of our 2-bedroom space. My brother has the air-conditioned space and I take the space with no air-conditioning because I don't like sleeping with any air-conditioning. I like hotels because they have silent air-conditioning but ultimately I prefer the electric fan. If it is too warm to bear my brother will open his door and since our space is small his air-conditioner cools the entire flat including my room and the dining area.
Since our small 2-bedroom space is just a section of an old house that we renovated the finishing of the room is obviously not like a modern condo (painted wood cabinets, uneven floor), we don't have our own bathroom or even a sink. All plumbing utilities and the restroom are outside and communal and so is the sink where we wash our dishes. We dream of maybe having a small sink inside one day. We can get some basic cooking done inside our flat but for aromatic Filipino cooking we usually unplug our tiny single induction stove (flameless) and cook outside in the common area. It's great discipline for us to get many chores done outside the flat as well. We are allowed use of a cousin's washing machine once a week, a full load each and we hang up our laundry outside.
I'm also quite excited that we got this hanging up of utensils done in the kitchen, I could have done it myself, but I didn't have the tools for attaching the rack so an uncle's repair guy came over to help, he also attached the lamp. Nothing in this part is from IKEA, these are cheap racks you can find in well-stocked supermarkets (usually the older ones like Makati Supermarket Alabang, Landmark). The racks are Php30.00 and are probably even cheaper in wholesale places like Divisoria. Don't judge me for my grater still having part of the price tag on...lol, we haven't used it yet.
The rest of the other stuff, we have gotten use out of already. I prefer the utensils exposed and suspended so no insects can hide in suspicious dark vases if you leave them standing. Each hooked rack is about Php30.00 from the grocery. This way cooking utensils are easy to access and always at the ready. The Oster solo blend-and-go type blender was a Christmas gift from my best friend Alma, I still have to use it this week! You know when stuff's new you don't want to dirty it up just yet and have it stand well-lit for a bit, or is that just me haha. Now, last but not the least...the gift from Furniture source. Furniture source (now at this website, but still also on FB) texted me out of the blue asking if I was the blogger behind blessmybag.com, they knew I was a customer. I answered and they said they'd like to send me a gift as a thank you for featuring them in this post from last year...in fact they would send it to me immediately after I gave them my details. This delivery came two hours later! What a gift! Look, IKEA chocolate and...
...the RASKOG Utility trolley in dark grey, and it's a wheeler! I assembled it myself with page to page help from the manual included. I was tempted to get the bright turquoise one but I had to think practically, in the event of bringing the item to different living spaces it was better to have it in a neutral color. This is nice to have as bedside or office storage...but also it can function as a drinks cart in the dining area since it moves around so easily.
For now I've kept it here but it should prove more useful in the kitchen later on. Hope you liked my lengthy home post. Now you sort of have a glimpse of our city space, it's not way luxurious but not shabby either now that we've worked on it. We're happy we've adjusted and have made it as cozy as possible. Thank you to Furniture Source Philippines for inspiring this post, it's so funny how I was already planning and shooting the post for the Melodi lamp already (which has been waiting to be installed since November) then a few hours in after its installation you guys texted asking if you could send the RASKOG Trolley over :). You've made our stay here easy.

Power outages and massive hail hit Moberly
MOBERLY - A severe thunderstorm brought half-dollar sized hail and hundreds of power outages to Randolph County Thursday evening.
Ameren's outage map showed of their 10,579 customers, at least 1,288 were without power in Randolph County at around 9:30 p.m. By about 10 p.m., less than 200 Ameren customers were without power in Randolph county.
The Moberly Police Department posted their own warnings on social media about power loss and downed power lines.
With the loss of power we have lost street lights and electrical signals in several areas to include busy Rollins and Morley! MoDot is aware and working to correct the issue. For the time being drive safe and remember to use this intersection like any other without a signal.— Moberly Police (@MoberlyPolice) August 17, 2018
Several viewers shared images and video of the hail in Moberly, and one said that while no cars were damaged, branches of trees had fallen.

Coenraad Brand
Coenraad F.J. Brand IV, a native of South Africa, grew up in a Christian home and attended the Dutch Reformed Church as a child. Even though Coenraad could articulate the gospel at an early age, he realized his deep need for Christ at age 15. Though Coenraad had traumatic experiences in his childhood, his relationship with Christ kept the hope alive in him.
Through 2 Corinthians 1:3-5, God reassured Coenraad that He would bring restoration and healing to his heart as Coenraad journeyed with Him. The joy of this relationship propels Coenraad to come alongside others to point them to the only Savior of the world and to encourage them in their faith journey with God.
Coenraad pursued God's calling to the United States in 2001. He has a long and incredible story of God's faithfulness as he depended on God to help him get established in a foreign country. Though Coenraad received the necessary training to qualify for ordination, he considers himself a lifelong student and disciple of Jesus. Coenraad is passionate about helping the Church Universal become more multicultural and multiethnic. His life has heavily been influenced by the social justice work of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King and former South African president, Mr. Nelson Mandela.
Coenraad's wife, Kristy, a native of Atlanta, Georgia, was a missionary in South Africa for three years. They met through mutual friends who led a Dave Ramsey Bible Study Program that Coenraad attended in Atlanta while Kristy worked in South Africa. Kristy's friends responded to Coenraad's prayer request for a wife by introducing the couple via email. They have been married for 10 years and have a 3 year old daughter with a sunshine personality. They recently moved to Logansport, IN, where they have accepted the call to ministry at Calvary Presbyterian Church. Kristy is a licensed marriage and family therapist and has her office at the church. Coenraad enjoys meeting new people, traveling the globe, painting, eating good food, and having fun times with friends. Kristy is an athlete and Bootcamp instructor and enjoys playing with her daughter in the local parks, as well as repainting furniture she buys at yard sales.

How to only get as many library books as you can actually read
In my library system I'm allowed 15 reserves, and normally I keep that list very close to the maximum. (It was 10 for a while before the NY Public Library smiled upon me once more.) Sometimes, this resulted in my having 5-6 books to pick up in one trip, all non-renewable, all things I really wanted to read. Bad news! Poor unbookening!
Enter the freeze button.
(Hey Elizabeth! This is next month's book club book. I wish I had remembered to grab my copy when I was at home.)
Freeze allows you to add books to your hold list without getting closer to the top of the pile -- essentially a "not right now" feature. In the NYPL system, you hit the freeze check mark and then "Modify Selected" to confirm your choice. You can 'unfreeze' at any time by reversing the process. So what you can do, which is to say what I do, is unfreeze some books you want right away, then unfreeze a few more. I don't know how this works exactly; it's just one of life's great mysteries.
Granted, as long as you have 15 books listed you aren't able to add any more, and the odd book slips through the cracks still, like Dan Barry's BOTTOM OF THE 33RD, which I just had to return without rereading because I didn't get to it before it was due. Still, it's a huge help and you should go play with your local library's web interface (If your library still doesn't do online requests or renewals, I sympathize. In the last place I lived before NYC I had online requests at my local library, but when the book came in a librarian would call me on the phone. Every time. For added funtimes the librarians would call me at work, because they didn't want to spend the long-distance dollars to call my cell phone. I must have sounded So Busy And Important. All of which is to say, I believe you will get there.)

Great post! I use my library's on-line request system and like you, I sometimes have to return a book unread. I'll see if we have the unfreeze option. Thanks! ~Jen
- Elizabeth said...
I'll be interested to hear what your book club has to say about ISHMAEL. (I'm a little afraid to go back and read it and be confronted with my twelve-year-old self.)
- Wade Garrett said...
I'm a big fan of the freeze button! I use it pretty often, because most of the books I request have very long waiting lists, and when more than one or two of them become available at the same time, I'm worried I'll have to return them unread and then get back on a 300-person waiting list before I can check them out again. The freeze button is enormously convenient.
- jess s said...
My library calls it "suspend" instead of freeze, but the idea is the same. I love that feature & use it shamelessly. I love suspending holds for new releases just when I get to the first spot in line - so I can effectively cut in line when I'm ready to read it. And I use the suspend feature to manage my audiobook consumption more effectively. When I get to the second-to-last disc of my current audiobook, I start unsuspending my other audio holds. The timing is perfect.

Camp in brief
Summer camp in brief
Base group
One thing that makes GayCamp so appreciated is the connection and confidence that arise in the base groups. When we come to the camp, we are divided into base groups. A base group consists of 6-8 people. Each group includes a participant from the camp organization. The base group meets between breakfast and lunch. Participating in a base group is mandatory.
Kitchen duty
To keep costs down, to create a camp that we do together and to get the camp to work, each base group has kitchen duty one day during the week. Kitchen duty means that you, along with your base group, prepare breakfast, serve food and salad, clear the tables, wash dishes, clean the dining room and make coffee and tea.
One of the aims with GayCamp is to promote sexual health among men who have sex with men (MSM). We do this by giving seminars about HIV and safer sex. These seminars are held in English and Swedish. By having all participants taking part in these seminars, we get grants from the Swedish Public Health Agency and can thereby hold down the camp fee and offer seats at a reduced price. Taking part in these seminars is therefore mandatory.
For GayCamp it is important that everyone feels safe at the camp. As in society in general, you are expected to treat others with respect and sensitivity to their personal boundaries and integrity. For instance, this applies to taking photos and close encounters. We also ask that you ask people in photos for permission before posting photos or videos to social media..
A whole week
The beauty of GayCamp is the connection and trust that is being built up during a whole week. When you sign up for GayCamp, you sign up for participating the whole week.

What Would You Do For $20,000 In Just 45 Minutes
New York Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora will be fined $20,000 for not attending a mandatory media day Wednesday. Umenyiora was fined not to long after he didn't show up for his 45 minute mandatory news interview session at the teams' hotel Wednesday morning. Due to not having a medical excuse like New England Patriots offensive tackle Matt Light had for Tuesday, Umenyiora was fined.
"I misunderstood the schedule," Umenyiora said in a statement released by the team. "It won't happen again, and I will be at tomorrow's media session and available after the game. I apologize for any inconvenience my absence this morning may have caused."
Now Umenyiora was at the media day the day before where he talked about his opponent Matt Light and how he doesn't hate him as he said, "Matt Light is obviously a good football player," Umenyiora said. "We don't play each other enough for true hatred to develop. This is maybe my second or third time playing against Matt Light. There is no hatred there. Some of the things he has done, I wish he wouldn't have, but we're both professionals and he seems to be a good guy."
So what's wrong with that? He showed up on Tuesday and said what he had to say and answered what he had to answer, I mean let's be honest what more could you obviously talk about him with him today? What's his favorite color? What does he like to do in his free time? Is he dating anyone? Like seriously, what could the media have asked him?
They already covered the Super Bowl questions, the rematch questions, the Matt Light questions, and on and on and on. Now for tomorrow's media day, they actually could have some things to ask, like why weren't you at media day? Your response to Light's comments and maybe what he had to eat yesterday? But fining the guy $20,000 for not showing up for 45 minutes to listen to repeated questions over and over again? Heck I would probably skip it too.
So Osi, as bad or as boring as it may be just go to the 45 minute session tomorrow and answer to the questions that are asked, or if you're going to skip at least tell them your sick…cough cough.

How Can I Accept Steem – Affluence Network: Intended For Life
Thank you so much for visiting our website in looking for "How Can I Accept Steem" online. Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to research possibilities for making gigantic ammonts of money with various forms of internet marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to endure the cryptocurrency markets.Bitcoin structure provides an instructive example of how one might make a lot of money in the cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin is an amazing intellectual and technical achievement, and it's generated an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But not many people understand that and lose out on quite profitable business models made accessible as a result of growing use of blockchain technology. The trades of Bitcoins are recorded in ledgers which are referred to as Blockchains. The ledgers use extremely complicated technology about them to work. The idea is very simple than you think. The Blockchain enables two parties to create a smart contract. The contract can be created between two companies in a platform known It should be challenging to get more little gains (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the best way to read these Candlestick charts! And I found these two rules to be accurate: having modest gains is more lucrative than attempting to fight up to the summit. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it is better to look at books than wait for order confirmation when you think the price is going down. Secondly, there's more volatility and compensation in monies that never have made it to the profitability of sites like Coinwarz.
How Can I Accept Steem: The Affluence Network – We Love It to Bits
Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in an identical way, but in addition they get involved in more complicated smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a particular number of a defined group of folks agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This permits progressive dispute arbitration services to be developed in the future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment methods, the blockchain consistently leaves public evidence that the transaction occurred. This can be potentially used within an appeal against businesses with deceptive practices. Bitcoin is the chief cryptocurrency of the net: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, global, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there is no authorities, banks, or another regulatory agencies. Therefore, it really is more resistant to outrageous inflation and tainted banks. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the security and privacy risks. Security and privacy can easily be reached by simply being intelligent, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't put your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be secured by removing any identity of ownership from the wallets and thereby keeping you anonymous. As one of the oldest forms of making money is in cash financing, it is a fact that you could do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the financing websites now focus on company of Bitcoin, but I am confident there will be one or two who'll already have arrived in/nearby that can give other currencies. Some websites are now outside: valves: these are websites where you fill in a captcha after a specific period of time and are rewarded with a little number of coins for that faucet. You can see the www.cryptofunds.co website to locate some lists of tap into the money of your choice in the Knowledge Base section. Some websites of tap contain: Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have quite different dynamics. The new ones are always popping up which means they do not have a lot of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have quite inferior liquidity as well. The best way to produce a reasonable plan and test it in the light of these complications? Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, meaning the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Lots of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the variety of bitcoins that are truly circulating in the exchanges. Moreover, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Therefore, even the most diligent buyer couldn't purchase all existing bitcoins. This scenario isn't to imply that markets usually are not exposed to price manipulation, yet there exists no requirement for large sums of money to transfer market prices up or down. The smallest events on earth economy can affect the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive. Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running software with specialized hardware. Mining software listen for broadcast transactions on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate tasks to process and affirm these transactions. Bitcoin miners do this because they are able to bring in transaction fees paid by users for quicker transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas. When searching forHow Can I Accept Steem, there are many things to ponder.
How Can I Accept Steem – The Affluence Network: QE for The Masses
Click here to visit our home page and learn more about How Can I Accept Steem. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put in circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to make more. The mining process is what creates more of the coin. It may be useful to think about the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are precisely the same. Mining crypto coins means you'll get to keep the full benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your chances of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members will have a higher possibility of solving a block, but the reward will be split between all members of the pool, predicated on the number of "shares" won.
If you're thinking of going it alone, it's worth noting that the applications configuration for solo mining can be more complicated than with a pool, and beginners would be probably better take the latter route. This option also creates a steady stream of earnings, even if each payment is small compared to fully block the reward. In the case of the fully-functioning cryptocurrency, it might even be exchanged like a product. Promoters of cryptocurrencies announce that type of online income isn't handled with a main banking system and is not thus subject to the vagaries of its inflation. Because there are always a minimal amount of products, this coin's benefit is founded on market forces, allowing homeowners to trade over cryptocurrency exchanges. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others happen to be designed as a non-fiat currency. Put simply, its backers argue that there's "actual" worth, even through there is no physical representation of that worth. The worth rises due to computing power, that is, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time period which is worth an ever decreasing amount of money or some type of benefit so that you can ensure the deficit. Each coin contains many smaller units. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are exactly to authenticate other trades, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant solution, which can be one of the appealing aspects of the coin. The one who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it to a value is supplied by another address, which is a "wallet" file stored on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of trades lives.
The fact that there's little evidence of any increase in using virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal efforts to control it. The reason behind this could be simply that the marketplace is too small for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory attempt. It really is also possible that the regulators simply don't comprehend the technology and its implications, expecting any developments to act.

Lots of people prefer to use a money deflation, particularly those that desire to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Monetary privacy, for example, is great for political activists, but more problematic as it pertains to political campaign funding. We need a steady cryptocurrency for use in trade; should you be living pay check to pay check, it would take place included in your riches, with the rest allowed for other currencies. You've probably heard this many times where you generally distribute the nice word about crypto. "It's not unstable? What happens when the value crashes? " So far, many POS devices presents free conversion of fiat, improving some worry, but until the volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, a lot of people is likely to be reluctant to put up any. We need to discover a way to struggle the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies. The physical Internet backbone that carries information between the different nodes of the network is currently the work of several companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes companies offering long-distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local pipe, which ultimately joins in homes and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through one of these ISPs, players like degree 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP manages its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private firms, and occasionally by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with suppliers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and companies who need to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the data to flow without interruption, in the right location at the right time.
While none of these organizations "possesses" the Internet collectively these firms determine how it functions, and established rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's taking place to ascertain how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for instance, one needs consent from a Registrar, which has a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone for connecting to and with her. Concern over security issues? A working group is formed to focus on the issue and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you have someone to call to get it fixed. If the difficulty is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts set up and service level agreements, which govern the way in which these issues are worked out.
The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't governed by any focused firm. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a dedicated advocate badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet works. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works present inherent difficulties to an individual. Blockchain technology has none of that. For most users of cryptocurrencies it's not necessary to comprehend how the process works in and of itself, but it's essentially important to comprehend that there is a procedure for mining to create virtual money. Unlike currencies as we know them today where Governments and banks can simply choose to print endless amounts (I am not saying they are doing so, only one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining software, which solves the sophisticated algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation.

Deep Dark Woods returns on their terms
On hiatus for the last three years, vocalist/guitarist and songwriter Ryan Boldt was certain the acclaimed alt-country group he co-founded, Deep Dark Woods, was a thing of the past.
"We spent 10 years touring and during the last little bit of it everyone become pretty discouraged," he explains.
"I didn't think the band would ever get back together. I was trying to keep going with my own stuff and I really doubted that we would ever play together again. There were some changes that happened and then Geoff (Hillhorst; pianist and organist) and I decided that we needed to continue going. We both agreed that we had to go full-time again, and with these changes we're both extremely happy to get going again after being away way too long. I honestly thought it would never happen again.
"It seems like everyone's wanting to do it again. It feels good."
Although the singer/songwriter admits he also needed some time away after their last tour supporting the 2013 album Jubilee, he was eager to return and was becoming stir-crazy while the band was in limbo.
During the hiatus, Boldt released Broadside Ballads and continued to tour internationally as a solo artist.
With the band reformed, they've since played a handful of shows over the past summer and recently in Toronto and Nashville, and Boldt notes things are going well.
"Some of the guys are new, so it's a bit of a new band – new rhythm section. We also added a sixth member of the band to play acoustic guitar and to add harmony vocals. It's going to be different but everybody's pumped to be playing. Everyone's happy."
That's a good thing, considering their show Saturday at The Exchange is one of the first on their current tour, supporting next week's release of their new album Yarrow.
Asked if he felt any pressure for Yarrow to succeed considering the numerous nominations previous Deep Dark Woods' album have garnered, Boldt quickly dismissed the notion.
"I don't feel any pressure. I think if you let the pressure get a hold of you it can affect the music negatively. I just try not to think about anything like that and make music the way the way I want to make music, and let Geoff make music the way he likes to.
"It's nice that all these things happen but in the end, it's about pleasing ourselves and the people who like our band. We never really go into making music worrying about awards and accolades. Those aren't the people that we're trying to please. We're just trying to make good music for us and for the people who've followed us for years and years. It's not about the industry, and a lot of times those people aren't even music fans.
"If I'm not enjoying myself making and playing music, there's absolutely no point in doing it. I did that for a few years, where I wasn't pleased, and it was misery. There's no point in that."
With a new record about to be released, the band on the same page, and three years of pent up energy to be released, Boldt promises Saturday's return to the Queen City will be well worth a night out.
"If you listen to our upcoming record and the songs, although some are ballads, when we play them live we're high-energy. There's lots of improvising, and it's not your regular sit down show. There's lots of dancing and people tend to have a great time."

Terminal Services[edit]
Air traffic controllers in Terminal Services are positioned in TRACONs and airport towers to guide aircraft in and out of airports across the country.
ATO Strategy Map and SMP[edit]
The Air Traffic Organization Strategy indicates where the ATO is going, how it's going to get there, who is involved, and how it all fits together. While the ATO has adopted the Strategic Management Process (SMP), a proven business management concept used by high-performing corporations, it is not a fill-in-the-blanks template. Rather, the SMP is a framework that the ATO can use to effectively formulate and implement its strategy. Part of the process is the visualization of the critical drivers of success in the form of a Strategy Map.
The ATO's Executive Council has developed four strategic pathways; each pathway is a cluster of related objectives that are important to the ATO's Owners (Congress, the Office of Management and Budget, and the Office of the Secretary of Transportation), Customers (commercial and cargo airlines, business aviation, general aviation and military aviation), the Processes needed to meet customer needs and owner expectations, and the Employee and technical capabilities that must be developed for the internal processes to work well.
A critical component of the ATO's strategy is change, which is necessary to meet the objectives of the organization and prepare the FAA, the ATO and its employees for the transition to NextGen programs.
The Air Traffic Organization was created as the operations arm of the FAA by executive order of President Bill Clinton in December 2000 to apply businesslike practices to the delivery of air traffic services.[2] A few months later, Congress passed enabling legislation which laid the foundation for the creation of a performance-based organization to manage the national airspace system, and the hiring of a chief operating officer to lead it.
The FAA began designing the ATO in 2001 but was delayed by the impact of 9/11. Implementation began in 2003 and Russell Chew, a former American Airlines pilot and system operations manager, was hired in August; the official formation of the ATO was announced in November 2003.
Chew resigned in February 2007. FAA Deputy Administrator Bobby Sturgell was appointed to serve as acting chief operating officer of the ATO during a search for a replacement. Hank Krakowski became the ATO's Chief Operating Officer in 2007 and tendered his resignation in April 2011.[1]
The Air Traffic Organization is composed of 35,000 employees. Many of these employees, including more than 14,000 air traffic controllers,5,000 air traffic supervisors and air traffic managers,1,100 engineers and 6,100 maintenance technicians, directly serve customers.
Some 8,000 additional employees work in a wide variety of jobs to sustain the operations of the ATO; these employees research, plan and build air traffic control equipment and programs; manage payroll and benefits programs; provide procurement service for both the ATO and the FAA at large; maintain relationships with the aviation industry and the general public; and ensure that the environment and ATO employees are protected.
The ATO operates 315 air traffic control facilities.
Types of Facilities:
Airport Traffic Control Towers
Each major airport maintains a control tower which houses air traffic controllers who monitor all aircraft taxiing, taking off and landing at that airport. They own the airspace up to 3,000 feet (910 m) above the airport and a radius of five miles (8.0 km) around the airport. Tower controllers have three different positions through which each rotate during their shift assignment: clearance delivery, ground control and local control.
Air Traffic Control System Command Center (ATCSCC)
The Command Center exercises command, control and oversight of air traffic activity within the NAS. The facility, located in northern Virginia, coordinates all air traffic movement, both civil and military, in domestic and oceanic airspace, its staff strategically manages air traffic to minimize delays and congestion, while maximizing the overall use of the NAS. Decisions are carried out in cooperation with airline personnel, traffic management specialists and controllers at affected facilities.
Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCCs)
The airspace over the U.S. is divided into 21 large areas (20 are in the contiguous U.S. plus Alaska). These centers are designated with a three-letter identifier starting with the letter Z, such as ZSE and ZDC for Seattle and Washington. Center controllers monitor aircraft in the en route phase of its flight, they receive traffic from TRACONs and hand off traffic to TRACONs
Terminal Radar Approach Control Facilities (TRACONs)
Controllers in TRACONs monitor aircraft in the departure, descent and approach phases of a flight. Each TRACON can handle air traffic for several different airports in its vicinity. Recently, TRACONs in major metropolitan areas have been consolidated to handle many busy airports from a single facility. Consolidated TRACONs include Potomac Consolidated TRACON, New York TRACON, Boston Consolidated TRACON, Southern California TRACON and Northern California TRACON; some smaller regions have also received consolidated TRACON facilities, such as Great Lakes TRACON at Kalamazoo Airport in Central and Western Michigan.
Combined Center Radar Approach Control (CERAPs)
The FAA has 3 CERAPS, essentially a cross between a Center and a TRACON. These are HCF is Honolulu, ZSU in San Juan and ZUA in Guam.
The William J. Hughes Technical Center
The William J. Hughes Technical Center serves as the national scientific test base for the FAA. Technical Center programs include testing and evaluation in air traffic control, communications, navigation, airports, aircraft safety, and security, they also include long-range development of innovative aviation systems and concepts, development of new air traffic control equipment and software, and modification of existing systems and procedures.
Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center
The FAA Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center in Oklahoma City is best known for the FAA Academy, which provides technical and managerial training and development for the FAA workforce and the aviation community. Notably, the Academy trains new air traffic controllers.
The Aeronautical Center also houses the Civil Aerospace Medical Institute, which is involved in such diverse aviation matters as drop-down oxygen masks, emergency lighting, water evacuation plans and crash tests; the FAA Logistics Center, which offers repair and technical support for air traffic control equipment and aircraft for the U.S. and 44 other countries; the Transportation Safety Institute, which examines aviation safety; and the Civil Aviation Registry, which records every privately owned U.S. plane and licensed pilot.
Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen)[edit]
The future of U.S. aviation is the Next Generation Air Transportation System, or NextGen. In the 21st century, the growing global demand for aviation, development of new and exciting airborne vehicles, and security and environmental concerns, are going to require a new kind of aviation system.
That's why there is a concerted effort by the United States to design, plan and build NextGen.
NextGen is a wide-ranging transformation of the entire national air transportation system – not just certain pieces of it – to meet future demands and avoid gridlock in the sky and at airports. State-of-the-art technology, new procedures, and new airport infrastructure will allow the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to safely handle dramatic increases in the number and type of aircraft, without being overwhelmed by congestion. NextGen is a curb-to-curb transformation of the U.S. air transportation system. This transformation involves going from today's ground-based, human-dependent communications, navigation, and surveillance system to one that takes advantage of satellite navigation and surveillance, digital communications and advanced networking, it shifts some decision-making from the ground to the cockpit.
NextGen is consistent with the FAA's mission to maintain the safest, most efficient national airspace system possible; the FAA does this by enforcing aviation safety regulations, and certifying 320,000 aircraft and over 700,000 pilots. The FAA provides air traffic control services, handling about 55,000 flights per day, and serving over 700 million passengers a year. NextGen Through Multi-Agency Involvement As part of the NextGen effort, the FAA is working closely with several government agencies that make up the Joint Planning and Development Office. JPDO includes the U.S. departments of Transportation, Defense, Homeland Security and Commerce; the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy; and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
NextGen cannot be realized by government efforts alone. More than 200 industry members are involved at every stage of NextGen's development through the NextGen Institute; this is an unprecedented government-industry partnership on such a large-scale initiative.

I already have an Indigo Blue/White Superformance Cobra with a 527 big block, and absolutely love it. Two years later, while I was not looking for another Cobra, a friend of mine needed to sell his car for some money and I thought I'd help out by buying the car and holding it for him until he decided to buy it back again. That never happened, but owning a Superformance is never a problem since you will always find a buyer at a good price for one of these cars. One thing I forgot to mention... when I told my wife we were going to pick up the new car that weekend, she says, "what car?" Oooops. I think I might have forgot to tell her. "Well... it's your car, honey!", I said. As you can imagine, she didn't buy it. One thing that's kind of funny is I never liked yellow. The only thing worse to me was yellow with black. So I got the whole deal. But after a while, I really came to like the color and others really notice it, especially in a sea of blue and silver Cobras. As things go, I quickly added upgrades here and there and pretty soon it was a a really unique car, but before we were going to sell it we decided one late Friday night to take a road trip across the country. We did not know where we were going, we just looked at the clouds in the sky and headed in the opposite direction. A week later we found ourselves having gone through Iowa, Nebraska and as far as deep in the Colorado Rockies. On the way back we passed through Wyoming and Minnesota after spending some time the Black Hills and the Badlands of South Dakota. 3,500 miles and a week later we get home and after unpacking, I asked my wife if she wanted to go out to Dinner. I headed to our Ford Excursion and she says, "Aren't we going to take the little car?" (that's what she calls the Cobra). I thought she would have been be tired of sitting in that little thing for so long but, nope! She missed it already. We both did. During dinner she says "we're not going to sell the little yellow car, are we? I like it now." That's quite a turn around from the week before where she said, "we can't keep that many cars, one of them has to go." So, we decided to sell our immaculate and incredibly fully restored DeTomaso GT-5 Pantera. Most would think it would have been smarter to keep just one of the Cobras and the Pantera instead, but the only thing more satisfying than a Superformance Cobra, is having two of them! It's great to have one Cobra that is pristine in show and truly radical in performance, as well as another Cobra sitting there prepared and ready to go anywhere across the country, on any road, at anytime, in any weather as a daily driver. Funny thing is, it still looks as good as any pristine show car even after years of driving down gravel roads, sand, mud, rain, snow, hail and even through river stream crossings, and all it has ever felt was periodical cleaning of the paint with Windex & paper toweling. These cars are just amazing, & still not a squeak or rattle at all. Bottom line is, it's so much more enjoyable working on & driving the Superformance that even the prestige & mystique of the Pantera, was not enough to make it's match.

He stood there for a moment. Then went and slept behind her bringing her in his embrace kissing her cheek. Good night mishti. She smiles holding his hand, feeling his breath other hair. He played with her fingers. Keeping his head on her cheek. So, where do you want to go tomorrow? She sighed lightly feeling his lips on her neck. I will tell you when we will be out. But it's going to be whole day ok. He smiled kissing her shoulder. Anything for you. Both silently lay for some time. Soon Maan felt her sleeping. He smiled slowly holding her shoulder and turning her around bringing her in his arm knowing that the only ace where she sleeps peacefully. Kissing her forehead and eyes, caressing her hair. She stirred a little and holds his waist bringing her face close to his neck. He smile and close his eyes.
Morning light came in her eyes, stirring a little she open her eyes slowly only to find his love sleeping in his arm. Smiling she move her hand on his face, tracing her finger from his forehead to nose and slowly moving to his lips. He stirred a little; she giggled softly caressing his lips with her thumb. He slowly opens his eyes to see her mischief look. Smiling he brought her close, and again close his eyes. She pouts looking at him sleeping again. Maan utho na. He didn't move.

Inhaling she closed her eyes feeling him kissing her collarbone. slowly letting go of her hands, the moment he let go of her she hold him tight removing his vest, feeling his body, chest, moving down caressing him. It makes him go wild and took her shirt away opening her bra. She gasped feeling his hands cupping her breast tightly. Holding his hair tight she breathes hard moaning with the desire.

When he saw her, he made her sit in the sofa and gave her coffee wiping her hair with the towel. She feels so relax. Closing her eyes she sipped the coffee. Finishing the coffee she moves to his lap keeping her head on his chest. I'm tired now. He chuckled brushing her hair, kissing her head. Sleep for sometime honey.

Download Drouzykid - Money In The Bank.mp3
You know it is all about the moolah, the bank and the lifestyle.
Even though the record had been released as far back as the past campaign, it is only now that we get to savour a dose of its fire and flames.
We definitely feel we might still be sleeping on some talents but not anymore on this one as this act makes his debut on Hitvibes.
Drouzykid packs the talent as a rapper, singer and dancer; someone who just loves the all-round musical experience.
The Mthatha, Eastern Cape sensation started out his career from a very young age but dropped his first single in 2010 in a collaboration with Utagang and the city went berserk.
This time and with "Money In The Bank," he brings together the lyrical arsenal to flaunt and floss on the quest of one of the world's most in-demand paper.
He sought the production artistry of DJ X to enjoy a glittering output as well as a potential slam should it click with mainstream channels.

If you go down to Langass Woods today you're in for a big surprise – as you may come face to face with a grizzly bear!
Langass Woodland Trust (Urras an Craobh Uibhist a Tuath) in North Uist have commissioned a statue of Hercules - the world famous grizzly bear who escaped in the islands in 1980 and spent 24 days on the run.
Hercules, owned by Andy and Maggie Robin, was starring in an Andrex advert being filmed on Benbecula when he disappeared.
He was later spotted swimming off North Uist and was rescued and returned to his delighted owners. The story brought international attention to the islands and this project by the local Trust will tell the story to a new generation.
Following his high profile escape, Hercules went on to star in the Bond film 'Octopussy' and had many other TV roles. He graced the cover of Time magazine and even met ex-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and ex-US President Ronald Reagan.
The statue in Langass Woods is not yet complete but will the unveiled during an official opening in the next few months.
Langass is a community woodland managed by Urras an Craobh Uibhist a Tuath. Since forming in 2005 the trust have actively begun to make improvements to Langass so that the woodland can be used as an educational and recreational resource by the local community and visitors to the island.
The trust aim to increase the biodiversity of the woodland by planting more species of native broadleaf trees which will attract more species birds, plants and insects to the woodland and make it a more interesting place to visit.
They have received funding for roads and pathways from Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, LEADER and Awards for All.

N95 still suffers from a lot of RAM issues, how much more would it cost to put in a li'l more RAM anyway?
I agree...if they're going to pound the "multimedia computer" into our heads they better realize that they're released some real "under powered" computers when they don't offer up the appropriate RAM. Fp1 phones have allowed us to see the light in regards to a lightning fast UI but they need to bolster up the RAM in ALL s60 devices, not just the E90.Originally Posted by Ago Vino Verita
..and throw a little more juice our way...we know you can do it....E61 family has it and you know the the N73 has it.....Take a look at the N95 sales...you know we'll spend the extra buck for something that's done right. (although the N95 isn't all there imo)

N95 still suffers from a lot of RAM issues, how much more would it cost to put in a li'l more RAM anyway?
can anyone confirm if the n95 does or does not have 64mb RAM thats kinda sad if it doesn't, alot of smartphones today have 64
It has 20 available to the user. Those other smartphones that sport 64mb's have roughly the same amount at their disposal. You need to get them into triple digits to equate to a more user friendly phone imo. I'm drooling over the thought of 80 free mb's of RAM and 4gigs of storage for my E90!Originally Posted by v1ralIV
I really wish that
Sorry bro...E90 has 128 of which nearly 80 are available to the user upon boot. N76 has 40 available which isn't too shabby either and should be plenty for anything you desire.....that is of course until that tiny little battery dies on you...Originally Posted by BlueSun
edit:...and RAM doesn't necessarily determine how fast it's going to be. It's the amount of virtual memory available to you....of course the more the merrier but a fast processor is part of the equation.

~Still Accepting A1200 & E6 phones to Modify to your liking. Contact me if you are interested for a list of what i can do for you & your phone~
on the n95's at what point do you guys start to get low memory messages or a complete freeze up of the phone? like how many apps and which apps are u running?
That would be great! where can we look for info on porting into S60? I'll help where I can...dont know too much about it but I'm a quick learnerOriginally Posted by Alpha43

We can make up to a 128mb memory swap. But usually 64mbs work the best.
I am very suprised that no other developer has ever made one for s60...
so there's pretty much no resolution on ram issues?
I should sell my e70 :shifty
My e50 got much better with the newer firmware: I can run 3 java apps at the same time instead of one. I am a happy camper now

Starring Elizabeth McGovern as Hetty Thatcham, the widowed matriarch of a well-heeled British clan, "Cheerful Weather for the Wedding" may look like an offshoot of "Downton Abbey." But the sour, dispirited characters, who convene at a mansion in Devon in December 1932 for the nuptials of Dolly (Felicity Jones), the elder and prettier of Hetty's two daughters, have none of the spunk of the aristocrats on "Downton Abbey."
This barbed comic satire, adapted from a novel by Julia Strachey, is more downscale than its forerunner. It has no counts and countesses, no illustrious family tree to consider and no sense of history. Hetty, for all her highfalutin airs, lacks inner nobility. The sole aim of this grimacing control freak, acutely played by Ms. McGovern, is to make sure that Dolly's imminent marriage is not derailed.
In another "Downton Abbey" gesture, the movie trots out a grand, Maggie Smith-like dowager, Aunt Bella (Barbara Flynn), a late-arriving guest who registers her peevish disapproval of everyone and everything in trilling tones that convey ultimate disdain. Other familiar types include Dolly's plain, whiny younger sister, Kitty (Ellie Kendrick); the stolid family housekeeper, Millman (Sophie Stanton); Uncle Bob (Julian Wadham), a lecherous vicar who cozies up to Evelyn (Zoë Tapper), a bridesmaid; and a bratty 7-year-old, Jimmy (Ben Greaves-Neal), who sets off confetti bombs under the dining room table.
Directed by Donald Rice from a screenplay he wrote with Mary Henely Magill, "Cheerful Weather" is a movie divided against itself. The glossy appearance and trappings may evoke standard Anglophile nostalgia, but below the veneer is a cynical portrait of bored, shallow Britons halfheartedly going through the motions of a celebration.
What drama there is revolves around the appearance of Dolly's old beau Joseph Patten (Luke Treadaway), a handsome young anthropology professor with a dimpled chin whom Dolly invites without first informing her mother. Joseph, who has just returned from Greece, is still in love with Dolly, whose presentable but none-too-bright fiancé, Owen Bigham (James Norton), plans to whisk her to Argentina for two years.
This nervously edited film flashes back and forth from the dreary December gloom to Dolly and Joseph's lushly photographed summer of love a few months earlier. For reasons that are disclosed only at the end, Dolly and Owen are rushing into marriage after a two-month engagement. On the morning of the wedding, Dolly is so petrified that she vomits, then pacifies herself by guzzling rum from the bottle.
In addition to unsettled weather, ominous portents include the groom's mislaying of the ring, and his first squabble with Dolly, in which he refuses to take her beloved pet turtle on the overseas voyage.Continue reading the main story
If the movie had more courage, it would lay waste these people as hilariously as Robert Altman's film "A Wedding." But as its bad vibes accumulate, "'Cheerful Weather" exhibits all the energy of a disgruntled wedding guest muttering complaints under his breath.Continue reading the main story
