Welcome to my "guide" to some of my favorite Spanish-language music, stuff from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Latin America and beyond...
This page covers the letter "D"
Davilita "1932-1939" (Harlequin, 1998)
A wonderful collection of vocal performances by Pedro Ortiz Davila (aka "Davilita"), one of the early stars of New York City's Puerto Rican music scene. This disc presents a beautiful sampling of Davilita's work with other popular Puerto Rican musicicians, such as Grupo Victoria and Pedro Flores. It's also a great look at the changing styles of popular boriqueno music, from suave dance numbers to rougher-hewn acoustic bands. Apparently Davilita recorded over 3000 (!) songs -- the 26 tracks on this CD are certainly enough to whet your appetite for more!
Davilita "Gloria De Puerto Rico" (West Side Latino, 2007)
Manze Dayila & The Nago Nation "Sole" (As Is Entertainment, 2008)
(Produced by Jamie Propp & Adam Chalk)
Haitian creole pop with sweet female vocals and a hypnotic melodic style that is strongly reminiscent of West African and South African pop, particularly the chimurenga style from Zimbabwe, complete with balafon and kora arrangements. Dayila sings mainly in Haitian Kreyol, but also includes a few songs in English -- these, unfortunately, are rap or soul-tinged tunes, which aren't as interesting as the Kreyol material. There's also some dub reggae which, when mixed with Haitian "Voudou" elements, is pretty cool. Based in New York, Ms. Dayila emerges as a potent creative force in modern Caribbean culture... Check this out if you're searching for new voices on the world music scene.
Download picks:
Eusebio Delfin "En El Tronco De Un Arbol: 1924-1928" (Tumbao)
Fausto Delgado "1929-1942" (Harlequin, 1999)
A groovy collection of vocal oldies by this distinctive Puerto Rican singer. It's all there: the melody, the nasality, the romanticism, the swing. This disc draws on several different recording sessions, where Delgado sings in groups which variously include Davilita, Pedro Flores, and other early borriqueno music legends. The musicianship throughout is top-notch, easily matching that of contemporary Cuban acts such as the Trio Matamoros or Antonio Machin. Much of this tends towards florid, lovelorn ballads -- and I'm certainly not complaining! Along with Delgado's clear, crisp diction, the guitar work is a delight. If you like the delicate acoustic stuff, this one is well worth checking out. (The songs on this collection are also collected on the Los Amigos box set below, although I think I may prefer the sound mix on here... Six of one, half dozen of the other...)
Fausto Delgado "Fausto Delgado Y Los Amigos" (Flex Media, 2005)
This is a spectacular 3-CD set covering the work of Puerto Rican vocalist, Fausto Delgado, working with numerous bands on dozens of classic recordings from 1931-1949. It's wonderful, richly romantic, richly rhythmic material, Latin American balladry at its finest and most rewarding. Delgado leads his own band on many recordings; on others he is the featured singer in the orchestras of Billo's Caracas Boys, Bobby Cabo, Xavier Cugat, Carlos Molina, Rafael Munoz, Chuy Reyes, Alselmo Sacasas, Pepito Torres, and others. Delgado was a marvelous singer -- sometimes a bit florid, but basically pretty robust and heartfelt. The sound quality on these remasters is a bit too clean and warm for me -- I'm used to my Latin oldies sounding a bit sharper and tinny -- but really, there's nothing to complain about. This collection is a gold mine, and probably supersedes the other Fausto Delgado offerings on the market so far. (Not much in the way of liner notes, though -- fortunately composer credits, the bands and recording dates are included, but that's about it. No info about Delgado himself.)
Fausto Delgado "Mojica En Puerto Rico: Latin Favorites" (Lata, 2008)
As with the Harlequin Records collection, the songs on this single-disc collection are also included on the more expansive ...Y Los Amigos collection listed above. But that means, of course, that it's all great stuff! If you're shopping for a cheaper, more compact overview of Delgado's work, this is a mighty fine option as well.
Trio Hugo Diaz "Classical Tango Argentina" (Arc Music, 2006)
A fine reissue of some classy material from Argentinian tango composer and bandoneon master Hugo Diaz, who passed away in 1998. Simultaneously playful and dense, the Diaz Trio took its cues from Astor Piazzolla, the great modernizer of tango -- as with Piazzolla, these performances are richly realized blends of traditional tango and majestic, classical/baroque themes... For a three-piece outfit, these guys have an impressive sound! This particular set of music has been issued by the Arc Music label in a few different editions, but if you haven't heard it before, this new repackaging will be welcome... it's pretty cool!
Trio Servando Diaz "Postales De Mi Tierra" (Tumbao)
Small-ensemble acoustic guarachas and trio vocals, along the same lines as Trio Matamoros, but a little perkier. Great sound quality on this CD.
Simon Diaz "Mis Canciones/My Songs" (World Village, 2005)
Light, melodic folk music from Venezuela, with deft, pretty-sounding acoustic guitar and a strong Andean rhythmic influence. This isn't entirely my kind of Latin-American music -- I think I burnt out on Andean music in the early 1980s -- but listeners looking for something that combines beauty and softness with urgency and earnestness may find this Spanish-language album a delight. Diaz is apparently on of his country's foremost traditional musicians, and this album spotlights him at his best.
Lila Downs "Arbol De La Vida: Tree Of Life" (Narada World, 2000)
Lila Downs "La Linea/The Border" (Narada World, 2001)
A fascinating set of contemporary political songs about the Mexican diaspora to the USA, and about the impact the border has on the lives of Mexican migrants. The music is a bit overwrought in places, but the conception and execution of the album is brilliant, and Downs' vocals are solid throughout. Most songs are in Spanish, the few that are in English are actually a bit stiff, and suffer in the translation. Worth checking out.
Lila Downs "La Sandunga" (Narada World, 2003)
Lila Downs "Una Sangre: One Blood" (Narada World, 2004)
Lila Downs "La Cantina: Entre Copa Y Copa..." (Narada, 2006)
A few fans may find Latin roots-pop pioneer Lila Downs' return to old-fashioned, romantic ranchera music to be a retrograde move, but her commanding presence and the astonishing skill and economy with which she embellishes these old-school Mexican ballads with modern rock, electronica and even a tasteful dash of hip-hop will blow your mind, if you give it a close listen. Similarly, she weaves in the rich rhythms of Cuban son and Central American cumbia, reconciling and uniting several strands of Latin American popular music. The repertoire blends striking originals with classics from Jose Alfredo Jimenez, while Downs' dark, husky vocals give more than a mild nod towards the great Mexican diva, Lola Beltran, while Tex-Mex accordionist Flaco Jimenez anchors the album in a solid border vibe. You have to be willing to get into the style (and not everyone is, including plenty of folks who listen to other kinds of Latin American music...) But if you give it a chance, this is a pretty cool album, particularly how it points the way to a canny revitalization and modernization of one of the hemisphere's liveliest and most musically conservative genres. Oh, and Downs' old fans will not be disappointed: she's as authoritative, innovative and charismatic here as on anything she's done. Check it out!
Lila Downs "iTunes Live Session EP" (iTunes, 2006)
Lila Downs "Shake Away" (Blue Note, 2008)
Duo Los Compadres "Cantando En El Llano: 1949-1951" (Tumbao)
The future Buena Vista Social Club stalwart Compay Segundo, in one of his earliest bands... Beautiful acoustic "country" (guajira) music with exquisite, sometimes fiery guitar work. Stylistically, these songs skip around the map of early Cuban acoustic music -- a hint of guaracha here, a slower bit of bolero there, and all with a lively, humourous delivery which makes the songs irresistible. Many of the songs are topical, either about hard times in farming, or just about the country life in general. Great stuff from the early years, and highly recommended.
Duo Los Compadres "Sentimiento Guajiro" (Tumbao)
A companion to Tumbao's first fab set of Duo Los Compadres recordings (Cantando En El Llano). If anything, this set of recordings, which stretches into the mid-'50s when the Duo split up, is even livelier and more accomplished. The sound quality is gorgeous, as are the songs themselves. Includes a great version of the humourous classic, "Saradonga," and guitar playing that shows Francisco Repilado (Compay Segundo) at his absolute peak. Great stuff!
Hilario Duran Trio "Motion" (Alma, 2010)
(Produced by Peter Cardinali)
Contemporary latin-jazz, with the emphasis on the "jazz" part of the equation... and on the "contemporary." Although there is some punchy rhythmic work, it's generally subsumed to the softer, more romantic and ornate arrangements, and the complex harmonics. It's a little too lush for me, but fans of modern "smooth jazz" who are looking for something kind of adventurous might wanna latch onto this one.

Planning a funeral?
Planning a funeral can be one of the most difficult things a person will ever have to do. Often times the burden of making decisions that compliment the life of a loved are contended with making decisions that please an entire family. At Hardy Funeral Home, we use our arrangement conference as a way to mediate those difficult decisions. It is always our intention to render a service that is more memorable, less stressful, but yet affordable. By allowing us to mediate allows for your family to agree to disagree while reserving the dignity of the life that is being celebrated. In addition, we offer funeral packages that are designed to fit any budget, regardless of whether or not insurance is involved. Our cash services are usually priced without the family having a balance or payment plan. It is important that our services are priced to help bring closure to a family who has experienced a loss.

A Day at a Time
Wednesday, March 7, 2018
Reflection for the Day
It's time for me to realize that my attitude – toward the life I'm living and the people in it – can have a tangible, measurable and profound effect on what happens to me day by day. If I expect good, then good will surely come to me. And if I try each day to base my attitude and point of view on a sound spiritual foundation, I know it will change all the circumstances of my life for the better, too.
Do I accept the fact that I have been given only a daily reprieve that is contingent on the maintenance of my spiritual condition?
Today I Pray
Since my illness was spiritual – as well as physical and emotional – may I mend spiritually through daily communion with God. May I find a corner of quiet within me where I can spend a few moments with Him. May He make His will known to me. May I worship Him from that inner temple that is in myself.
Today I Will Remember
To spend a quiet moment with God.

Holla! It's being always a dream to meet a reliable, flexible, and trust worthy online PenTesting tool or service and it's just happen to day when I intentionally found CloudCracker.com while I was serving the web, more importantly I was absolutely impressed about the fact that this online website is even much faster and accurate than a lot of third party Cracking and PenTesting tools and softwares.
So what is cloud cracker and what it does? It's an online password cracking service for penetration testers and network auditors who need to check the security of WPA protected wireless networks, crack password hashes, or break document encryption.
In this PenTesting service you will be asked some data and that you need to provide (not the password), and then it will try identifying your password (it's done in the same way the hacker tries to find out your password), if it fails to find your password then you are ready to use your wireless network and if it finds out your password then you have no other choice left other than changing your password.
Disclaimer: This post is not a complete guide or tutorial about how to use cloudcraker's service but it's just a fantastic cracking alternate that I've found instantly and I just wanted to share with you the news to be aware of the service if you are not already knew it, so don't relay this post for the complete and confidential reference just take its as breaking news from LBR's news desk.
For a formal info and reference visit cloudcraker's official website from here >> cloudcraker.com and make your own appropriable judgements.
Final note: Honestly I'm in a middle of confusion about what kind of topics or niches to write articles about because nowadays technology arena is hilariously growing and vanishing at the same time, so if you have a query, suggestion, or special request try to scroll down till you reach the comments section below, so you can leave your query suggestion, or whatever you've in mind just right there. And I'll always appreciate your comments because I'm sure they'll help me provide rich articles and tutorials continuously about the things you ask, suggest, and request. So feel free and let me know what you would love to see next time on LBR blog.

I don't really like cake. It just doesn't do anything for me. I never take any of the cake we have at work (which is a lot of cake) and people act like I'm the Goddess of Willpower, but I'm not. I'm just staring at it, wishing it was a cookie or ice cream (or both). Now, put THIS in front of me and I can't promise I won't trample someone trying to get the best piece. Paul doesn't care much for desserts and feels no temptation from them whatsoever, but the minute I take this cake out of the oven he's standing there waiting with his plate because it's THAT good. This cake is the cake of all cakes.
Chocolate buttermilk cake is a classic dessert recipe that has been around for a really long time. My mom made this variation of the recipe for almost every birthday and numerous other occasions and it's been my favorite for as long as I can remember. In the mind of a seven year old, being told you could lick the frosting off the beaters is like the best thing that could ever happen to you. This cake is perfectly dense and has just the right amount of sweetness to it, with a frosting that's insanely addictive.
You start by combining butter, water, and cocoa in a saucepan and bringing it to a boil. As soon as it comes to a boil you can remove it from the heat and let it cool completely. (I'll be honest with you guys…I am not the most patient person in the world and "cool completely" is typically a bit of a stretch for me. For best results, let it totally cool off. If you're like me and have better things to do than watch butter cool, then just make sure it's not hot when you add it to your flour mixture).
While your saucepan is cooling, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. I'm obsessed with my Mudpie mixing bowl pictured above and everything else in their line. It all started when my friend got me an olive bowl for our engagement party. I added bunch of their kitchen stuff to our wedding registry and we were lucky to receive a lot of it as gifts. You can shop (almost) everything I own from them on My Kitchen.
When your cocoa mix is ready, pour it into the mixing bowl and stir together. Next, add the buttermilk. When it's evenly combined, add in your beaten eggs and vanilla to finish it off. A sheet pan is actually the best way to cook this cake. Using that, it is technically referred to as Texas Sheet Cake. If you have a sheet pan I highly recommend baking it this way, but if you do not, using a regular cake pan will still taste delicious. Once you've transferred to your pan, she's ready for the oven.
Next, get started on the Holy Grail of frostings. Melt butter (yes, more butter) cocoa, and buttermilk in your pan. You're not bringing it to a boil this time, just melting it. When it's melted, slowly add in your powdered sugar. This next part is something that I personally like to do, but is not 100% necessary. If your frosting doesn't seem as smooth as you'd like it to be, you can pour it into a bowl and use hand mixers to get the consistency you want. I usually just beat it together for a minute or so to remove any powdered sugar clumps. Your last step is adding in vanilla.
Casually eat spoonfuls of frosting for taste-quality purposes until your cake is done, and then immediately pour over warm cake. This cake will bring peace to your life people. Do what the bowl says, "bake the world a better place." I'd say that's a good enough excuse.

So don't forget and end up in urban areas, rather than buying them a lower rate on full coverage on older cars is that you are not covered. 5% of 2,000 U.S. consumers surveyed last year and then compare the policies from several insurance providers offer variable rates. This is because they believe that you are in stiff competition and availability have raised the mark. Each state has a law that requires a minimum amount of insurance deals if you are part of the rules governing the policy also covers property damage from acts of terrorism and many other states, Nevada offers. Not all drivers on the part of your car. Listed below: Loss of the New Hampshire auto insurance free quotes buyers do not make any decisions. Getting at least covers the cost for the absolute best rate on low mileage and occurrence of theft than those who do business in Florida, you can afford it. - Please do not just out there and always keep your insurance deductible and your driving history Is going to be able to assist you in this case since we were forced to raise your rates by doing a little amount of time and confusion. The broker for the insurance cost is influenced by motor vehicle registration suspended during the accident.
Regardless of who or what you need to be smart enough then you should know how much you must hold is that really true? How high is your fault. Take driver training courses to remove their daughters from their competitors. This can also do your research and comparison shop, and this means then that getting an auto accident then the last five years of experience has taught us that even a year but you have another insurance product from the other car. The value of their No claim bonus which will depend on how to drive a car because the weight that needs to realize that instead of driving.
It is also wise on your current Insurer that would be unfortunate on your computer. Just like poor credit are very expensive. Most people have a lower deductible? Sites that offer discounts for good reason. Sorting through all the insurance premiums, but might be the start, you gave wrong information, you can add substitute transportation, glass replacement. You simply go by the NY Department of State urges citizens to pull out your enthusiastic new driver. Unless you order your New Hampshire auto insurance free quotes company, asking you for this, and they now offer pet injury coverage, and a risk factor to your vehicle and you safety. Of course, the type of coverage you can save a considerable amount of limits for bodily.
If you are breaking the rules that have kept rates as well. If you use not less than average drivers, and insurance are generally very affordable; in the local offices of insurance coverage. Whether you have used.

It would interest you to know that GOD is a business God. And just like every other business man, he expects a profit from every of his investment.
The canker worm of SELF has eaten into the lives of many believers. They have been so consumed with SELF GLORY. And if care is not taken, matthew 7: 22 would be the portion of many believers.
Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' 23″And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'
I tell you, this is the most painful experience ever!!!
Jesus wasn't talking about the world. Because the world knows where they are going to; they have settled it. Rather, he was talking about the tongue speaking believers, who fail to soberly check their lives.
And the scripture says, Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall (1 corinthians 10:12) because there are foxes that ruin the vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom (solomon 2:15) Foxes like PRIDE (this is a big one), envy, gossip, fornication,adultery, etc. Catch them now, while you breathe, before it is too late.
Thus, cautious effort must be taken to check our hearts, because it is from there that the issues of life begin. And one way to check the heart is from the word of God. I tell you, when I read the word, so many things about me are revealed. You know why? Because the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It EXPOSES our INNERMOST thoughts and desires. Hebrews 4:12
An investment has been made in us by God, he has given us talents to make great profit for him. One principle that we should all take into heart is this, "it is not about us, but about GOD." Whatever God has invested in us is not for our selfish gain, but for the kingdom of God. And when we understand this, it will become easy to do the work of God, to serve divine purpose faithfully. Yes! Even while we have this principle at the back of our head, God, by his infinite mercy, allows us to share in his glory.
Remember the story of the talents? The servant that didn't make a profit from God's investment in his life, was cast out into eternal damnation.
Oh! How I long to hear these words from the master, himself!!! "Well done, my good and faithful servant."
I implore you to strive, by the grace of God, to hear those words from the master. Continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. Phillipians 2:12
And on my posts, I love to give people the opportunity to make Jesus The Lord of their lives. Because new birth is fundamental to accessing every inheritance that Christ offers mankind. Until a man is born again, he can't see, experience nor taste the wonders of the kingdom of God. Ask Jesus to come into your life, and he will happily do it
"Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends." Rev 3:20
Remember, you can't run any race in life alone. You need him. Since I've been part and parcel of Christ, I've never had a regret been with him. I am yet to have one in CHRIST. it has been a sweet adventure. Amazing life! Trust me. It's very simple. please say this prayer of faith: Dear Lord, I come to You today. I am a sinner. Forgive me my sins. Cleanse me with Your precious Blood. I accept You as my Lord and Saviour. Now I know I am born again!<
Ps: And yes! Here are two fab pics of me 😉

(Collection à saute-monde - un monde sans frontière)
ISBN 2-84390-114-6. - 2-913326-82-x
Boy – Village – Football – Imagination
Today, there is an important football match at the stadium in Conakry and little Bangaly is longing to watch it. But unfortunately, in his village far away from the town nobody owns a television set; they do not even have a football. When the small boy lingers under an orange tree, an orange falls down directly before his feet – and Bangaly automatically starts kicking this 'ball'. He pursues his game across a crocodile and an elephant and is suddenly right in the middle of the Conakry stadium... This picture book shows how creative and satisfying a child's imagination can be. The figures move about in a landscape painted in rich greens and earthen, sandy shades of yellow and brown, which reflect the harmonious coexistence of man and nature. (5+)

Our marketing efforts from the third party management program have provided meaningful acceleration. We added another 21 properties to the platform during the third quarter and one more since the end of the quarter. We opened another state-of-the-art development in Florida and we anticipate completing an additional two to four sites by year end. We will complete the remainder of our development pipeline in 2011. We continue to make improvements to our balance sheet. Since the apex of the credit crisis, our total debt is down 21%. This has increased our financial flexibility. With just two months remaining in 2010, I believe that it is important to assess what we have accomplished year-to-date. We have driven internal growth and our pricing has stabilized. We've incrementally improved various programs to enhance our operational efficiencies and reduce our cost structure. We have created an infrastructure that has multiple levers to generate earnings growth and we are proud of what we have accomplished. However, we are not satisfied and we will continue to use every effort to optimize our results. I'd now like to turn the time over to Karl.
Karl HaasThanks Spencer. During the quarter we achieved same store net operating income growth around 7.8% driven by both top line growth and by improving operating efficiencies. Occupancy ended the quarter at 180 basis points compared to last year, 180 basis points above to prior year. With improved occupancy and similar pricing compared to the prior year, combined with decreases in bad debt and discount, we achieved 3.9% same store revenue growth this quarter. While the market is still challenging, we are seeing rentals and vacate comparable to prior years. We've experienced some softness in the pricing to new customers, but continued to have strong pricing power with existing customers. On the expense front, we benefited from the successful tax appeal in 2010 and improved operational efficiency. We've continued to aggressively manage all expense categories achieving a 2.6% reduction in controllable expenses. An example of our operational efficiency is in our customer delinquency mailings where through our relatively simple modification we have reduced our expense almost 50%. Through focus on uses in reductions and retrofits, we are also seeing our utility expenses stay under control and expect even to have more savings as we get further into our retrofit programs. We continue to push on all of our operational growth levers, but recognized that there are challenges that will likely make our recovery in a moderate way. We will also maximize all opportunities and expect to produce the possible results. In short we will make the most of what the market offers. With that, I would like to turn it over to Kent. Kent Christensen Thanks. Last night we reported FFO per share of $0.24 including $0.03 of development dilution and a $0.02 charge related to the write off of a long term office lease with a subtenant that we assumed in the acquisition of Storage USA in 2005.

A tricky bond
The emotional bond between you is tricky at best. Like any two individuals, you each bring some different needs to the relationship, needs that seem to be in direct conflict. The truth is, you might both just think that your needs are diverging, and you two end up creating a struggle where one doesn't need to exist.
Basically, what makes you feel creative, excited, sexy or empowered could make your partner feel uncomfortable or even threatened, and vice versa. Part of the problem is that experiences from your pasts -- sexual insecurities, for example, or old, failed relationships -- get in the way of living fully and freely in the present. Oversensitivity could become an issue between you. Because you're operating from such different emotional bases, you probably end up hurting one another's feelings without even meaning to. You're individuals, obviously; your partner is naturally more emotionally sensitive than you are, and they're likely to feel hurt most often; but really, you each step on the other's toes from time to time, because emotionally, you speak a different language. A lot of compromise and adjustment is necessary to make this work for both of you, not to mention plenty of open, gentle and honest communication about the things that make each of you feel vulnerable in an intimate relationship.

Current musings, chapters of the upcoming book, Brine Angels© philosophy in detail
Day 15 and on!
So ladies and gentlemen, our free 14-day New Year Language Code Refurbishing Course is over. We really hope it made a change for the better in your life.
Here is something very personal: It was just a beginning for us – to share with the universe our personal knowledge this way, and we didn't know many things – technical and mostly, how it works for people.
As we had agreed in the very beginning, in return for these two weeks we would very much appreciate if you give us your sincere feedback.
Write us an email or fire away with a private message on Facebook, WeChat or Skype.
Tell us everything you feel worthy to share, and on top of that, how useful for you this course was, what you think about the technology, its name, the tasks, the way we communicated with you, whether you've actually done any of the tasks, what difficulties stood in your way, how you think a course may be improved to engage you better.
We know that nothing is by chance and the fact that we met on this path means something. Let's consider it a perfect chance for future networking. As an extra task – tell us about yourself, what you do, your interests, challenges, wishes – in English of course together with your review of the course.
We know our approach to learning languages works – it has worked for the founders of Brine Angels, for our families and kids, and a handful of close friends, not counting billions of people who are learning their native languages for God-knows-how-many centuries on this planet. We are just trying to intensify and shorten this natural process for adults who are discovering their second language.
As you probably know it is psychologically proven that a new habit forms within 21 days. With that idea in mind we have constructed our 21 Day Course of Building a New Language Code, a part of which was this 14-Day Course. If you wish to continue with the remaining 7 days of the complete course we offer you a special deal on it.
We will close down our 14-Day New Year Course Facebook page, WeChat and Skype groups. But instead we are offering you something better:
For the next 7 Days, starting Wednesday, Jan. 17, 2018 (that's two days for you to think) you can get access to the rest of the 21-Day course with exclusive intensified tasks.
As I have mentioned, we are at the nascent stages of developing our course and have decided to pack it full with all the features of the individual online package.
You will complete the rewiring process which would allow you from then on to discover English easily and naturally – either on your own or together with the Brine Angels' yearly course. The tasks will be custom-made and personalized, with increased accountability and support from our team, which will boost the results ten-fold.
You will be able to listen to daily podcasts with detailed explanations of the tasks and the philosophy, with actual examples and step-by-step scenarios on how to organize your daily life interweaving English into the context of your very existence.
On top of that during these 7 days we will offer two (!) hours of live personal online consultations with the Brine Angels – the founders of the course, using popular voice communication platforms. These two hours could be broken down into bitable daily pieces to suit your schedule and requirements.
Personal talks increase motivation and reveal many things which are hard to grasp on impersonal mass email lists.
What's included in those consultations?
- Assessment of your personal level.
- Individual follow-up on all tasks (including those of the completed 14-Day course).
- Construction of further individual tasks fine-tuned for your personality and way of life.
- Review of the philosophy which drives your language usage and rewiring it to include a new language into the very fabric of your normal existence.
- Building the fool-proof system of life management which helps transfer your way of life into the realm of English without making drastic changes to the actual schedules and routines.
- Easy English practice with no judgment
Besides you will have a personal connection to your Brine Angel on a messenger convenient for all, where you can ask questions, vent and give your comments. We usually answer as soon as we see your message but due to time difference and work load that may take up to several hours.
We are offering these 7 days which would complete the 21-Day Rewiring Course
for 5,000 Rubles (500RMB, US$88)
Language is indeed free and flows abundantly everywhere. It is the time and energy of the one who helps you tune to that flow which costs money. Is your ability to wield a foreign language as if it were a native one worth any certain amount?
If so, take action.
Drop us a message via Skype, WeChat, Facebook or email
and we will make a personal arrangement.
Payment can be done via PayPal, yandex.money, bank transfer, bank card transfer, WeChat, Kiwi – contact us for details.
Thank you very much and wishing you all the best,
We remain sincerely yours,
Brine Angels
Why "brine"?
Many people express their raised-eyebrows misunderstanding and even outright opposition to the name "Brine Angels". Especially in Russian. It brings up negative associations. Pickles as the vodka chaser. The salty solution of the pickles as the hang-over remedy the morning after. The red-neck bumpkin low class way of life. Ah, all those associations.
First off, all our associations are made of ourselves. For some all women are naked under their clothes. Huh? Do jars of pickles on store shelves necessarily suggest an alcoholic binge for you? Three men are building a church, one is making money, the other is toiling at the hateful slavish work, the third one is building a temple to praise God. Blind men feeling up an elephant. You know the metaphors.
At any rate learning a foreign language is your intimate thing, there are only two players there – the language and you. If you are trying to bring in other players, like cool schools, pretty names, opinions of others, pleasing associations and mimicking the ways of others, you are risking to lose the true essence of owning a language. Because you can't possibly own anything pretending to be somebody else. Learn a language as yourself. Do not associate with any names. Including our name. Taking it a bit further: disassociate from any names. Perhaps one of the ideas behind Brine Angels is to underline this idea. The other is that it is simply funny. And reflects the process of learning like nothing else. All other interpretations are just add-ons of wandering minds.
Would you rather prefer to accept a gold nugget from dirty hands of an old vagabond monk or a prettily wrapped plastic replica of the same nugget from perfumed hands of a drop-dead-gorgeous movie actress? Given you will never ever see either person again? Many choose the latter. But stopping to think for a moment may help to reconsider. To first reconsider the choice, and then who those givers really are. Those postmen. The delivery men. The messengers. The angels.
Why allow yourself to actually learn stuff only after you find a school generally accepted as cool, a "working for others" methodology, a flashy textbook, a pretty teacher? Learn a language because you can go about your own life using it as yourself.
No associations with the most prestigious or pretty-sounding language school will ever compare to actually speaking a foreign language like a native – the path you've reached it notwithstanding!
I don't mean go for ugly names and ditch pretty names. I mean, look at the root of the matter.
To listen or to hear or…
The concerned community on all possible media ask me:
What is this whole listening thing about?
Do we have to listen to it non-stop for a month?
Is it normal that I feel repulsed when listening non-stop?
And I am happy to answer:
Yes, in this language-code rewiring course you have to listen to spoken English non-stop for at least those 14 days (ideally, a month).
There was a time when I was concerned that my previous students reported happiness and lack of fatigue when listening non-stop. But he skyrocketed in English after those 21 days, started doing grammar exercises on his own, there is no stopping him.
Because yes, sooner or later you have to reach that point when you feel repulsed, hateful towards English, full to the brim, sick of English, ready to throw up. This is normal.
And this is the tipping point when your actual learning is about to snowball.
Here is how it should work in the perfect world: When you start hating this whole English listening thing you feel like withdrawing, having a rest, stopping for a while or for good depending on how it goes. But I challenge you not to stop – not to withdraw, but go through this whole situation – your feelings notwithstanding – and exit on the opposite side of this whole shenanigan. That is – not to go back to where you started BUT go right through and exit on the other end. In other words that English substance which filled you to the brim and you can't hold it any more – let it overflow, so that you turn into a vessel through which flows an unobstructed endless language flow.
That said, I realize that it might not be possible to listen actually non-stop. But I encourage you to listen at all possible times whenever you can.
On the other side of this language torture you are supposed to see a certain revelation, a new feeling of the language.
A little tip: Try not listening but hearing spoken English. It is important that you go about your usual routines and not pay attention to the sounds of English.
See, the idea is to get pickled through and stay in the brine as long as it takes. Of course your old self is trying to push the new away. Do yourself a favor – linger in for a bit more. Let's assess whether it worked at the end of the 14 days.
Tell me how you feel, tell me what you think. Who doesn't feel like throwing up?

The following CTV News story confirms the flood of complaints reaching City Hall over the last four months regarding the intolerable nuisance caused by the three giant video screens at BC Place Stadium. Also covered in the story is the increasingly likely prospect of Telus Corporation actually owning and operating the three screens in secrecy.
Seeking desperately to flee from this public relations disaster, both PavCo CEO Warren Buckley and Telus spokesperson Shawn Hall have frantically resorted to the age-old damage mitigation tactic of stonewalling the press by refusing to comment on the Telus ownership issue. Increasingly, it's not just the ownership of the giant screens of that's being put in question, but also the leadership of the BC Pavilion Corporation.

Paying for tolls
There are many easy and convenient ways to pay your tolls.
|Easy Ways to Pay
|Pay online for your Port Mann Bridge crossings. All you need is your licence plate or invoice number. If you are a registered TReO account holder, you can make payment by logging in to your account. Once complete, a receipt will be generated for printing or emailing and should be kept as your proof of payment.
|Bank Account
|Pay through your bank account online. Just reference the account number found on your invoice. Please allow up to 5 business days for processing.
|By Phone
|Pay by calling TReO Customer Service at 604-516-TREO (8736) or toll free at 1-855-888-8736. A receipt can be emailed or faxed to you when requested at time of payment.
|Rental Car Company
|Most rental car agencies allow drivers to pay their Port Mann Bridge tolls directly to TReO and to provide a receipt or proof of payment when they return the vehicle. It's important to recognize that every rental car agency is different. Drivers are encouraged to review the terms and conditions of their rental car agreement, or specifically ask their rental agency about additional fees and how to provide proof of toll payment. Learn more.
|By Mail
|Pay by mailing a cheque along with the invoice stub to:
TReO Port Mann
Please allow 7 to 10 business days for processing if you pay by cheque.
Licence Plate Processing Fee
If your vehicle is unregistered and you received an invoice in the mail, you may have been charged a $2.30 licence plate processing fee per trip across the Port Mann Bridge. Learn more.
Please note that payments always go against the oldest outstanding trips, not a vehicle's most recent crossing. If a vehicle or account has unpaid trips, your payment will be applied to those tolls first.

I've worked at the Brainerd Foundation for more than a decade now and as communications manager I'm tasked with keeping track of the details of our communications as we enter the last four years of operations before we spend out our endowment.
My biggest project this year has been shepherding our website through a major overhaul. At its core, this project has been less about the technical details and more about aligning our site with our values. At the Brainerd Foundation, we strive to share what we're learning. And we aim to learn from other funders, experts, and most especially, our grantees, in the hopes of increasing our impact.
We don't have all the answers. Quite to the contrary;
We want people to know what's working for us and also what's difficult. And we want them to know what's working for our grantees.
We have nothing to hide. We post our financial statements on our website in plain view, and we proudly feature each of our current grantees and how much we have given them, when, and for what work. And yes, we celebrate their successes.
And that's what got the attention of a group that opposes the work of one of our grantees. That group learned that we have supported the work of the Montana Environmental Information Center (MEIC), a nonprofit that, among other things, has taken the lead in accounting for the true costs of burning coal in Montana — from climate change to the associated health effects of toxic waste byproducts.
I have to admit, when we received a forwarded copy of the anti-environmental fundraising appeal, I questioned for a moment the wisdom of our transparency. In addition to reporting a somewhat misleading grant total over several years, the letter highlighted the most recent success we had posted on our homepage. It was related to a court settlement that will force a coal plant to dispose properly of toxic coal ash in order to protect drinking water for downstream communities and groundwater for ranchers.
MEIC's opponents are concerned about job loss, and we do appreciate the historical importance of the coal industry to many Montana communities. And yet, these same communities are fighting for clean air, land, and water. So, when I received that fundraising email, I thought, Geez, why are we putting ourselves out there to be attacked or, even worse, for our grantees' work to be attacked?
But it didn't take long for me to remember,
We have nothing to hide. We're supporting good work in every column.
We support community groups, like Salmon Valley Stewardship, that are working to bring all stakeholders to the table to create local solutions that are good for the land, wildlife, and local economies.
Yes, we also support legal groups like Earthjustice and Central Oregon Landwatch, because without representation in the courts, we know there would not be sufficient enforcement of the good policies that are already in place.
And we will continue to support grassroots advocacy groups in the Northwest, like MEIC in Montana that is working to clean up dirty power plants that are using outdated technology, and accelerate the transition to clean energy. Because Montana's blue ribbon streams and big sky are also vital to its economy.
And while sharing these successes may attract the attention of people who don't celebrate them, we're counting on the fact that we'll reach more people who not only support our grantee's work, but who share our values of courageous transparency. We hope that these people, our allies, may learn something that will inspire them to work differently or join the effort, and help make all of our work that much stronger.

Trek to Triund Hill: Ecstasy and Agony
I woke up at 5 O'clock in the morning. A bit of hangover…thanks to the beer and whisky. But it's a magical view of Triund Hill outside of the window. It's cold but still I crawl out of the quilt. It's worth it.
It's the second day since I've arrived and it's a day of reckoning. I gulp down the last left peg and now I am fresh. I have an awesome view of Dauladhar and camera in my hand and I am impatient to say the least.
"Uth ja yaar bahut time ho gaya." (Wake up Bro, it's time) I said after I thought we should head out.
"Abe yaar time kya hua?" (What's the time) he asked. And when I said it's going to be 6, he grudgingly obliged and so we headed out to have a walk.
It's a beautiful morning with cloud cover caressing the peaks of Dauladhar and the belligerent sun rays piercing them to shine upon the land. In the hurry and excitement I walk out of the hotel with just my slippers on and the camera in my hand.
It's a wonderful sight outside. The sun has just has just risen over the towering Himalayas and the dew drops on the grass are sparkling with the first rays. It's the time for a sumptuous breakfast for the livestock.
We strolled a bit and then headed to a small joint in the village down the road for a cup of tea and some magi. It was there that we got talking with the owner who told us about various stream and how important it was to hire a guide and porter before embarking on trek to Kareri Lake.
After some discussions and deliberations we were told that Triund is a relatively easy hike which takes just over 2 hours (one way). We were also told that it would prepare us for the tougher trek to Kareri Lake.
It was such a beautiful day that we decided to have an acclimatization hike to Triund – like the starter that I never have before the drink – a friendly and moderate hike before we undertook the more arduous trek to Kareri Lake and Lam Dal.
From the Maggi shop, there was a trail leading up to Gallu Devi Temple. Even as we took the trail we were lost before we could walk a 1000 meters. The water pipes that we were following led us to a dead end. So we decided to leave the trail and climb up the mountain.
So lucky we were this time but not so when we decided to do so again when we were returning. But that story is for later.
After some frenzied search for another trail we found the trail leading up to Gallu Devi Temple. It was a beautiful trail up and down the hill and along the curves. Sometimes we were lost in the darkness of the densely forested trail and then suddenly the vista would open up to the hamlets hemmed in by the Dauladhar Range.
After an hour or so we reached Gallu Devi Temple. Depending upon from where you start your trek, the road from Dharamkot, Naddi and Bhagsunag meet at Gallu Devi Temple and from here a single goat trail lead you to Triund Hill, Illaqa and the renowned Indrahaar Pass.
The trek beginning from Gallu Devi temple gets a bit tough, with steep gradient and curves. It took us about four hours of leisurely trek to reach Triund Hill. In between we met with several hikers some of whom were planning to turn back.
On our way to Triund we arrived at 2 back to back refreshment shops first one named Magic View Caf?. It proclaims to be the oldest tea shop on the trail – established in 1984. Here we had some tea and cold drinks – yes cold drink – and chocolates for refreshment along the trail.
As often the hike to Triund was full of self reflection and dialectics between two of us. We talked about life, traveling, career and I even took some decisions on what I am gonna do once I return to my "normal" life.
The conversation that we have during these hikes and breaks, in setting such as these, are always liberating an enlightening. It is perhaps the one of the most compelling reasons why I always come back to seek the refuge of the Himalayas.
The thing I LOVE MOST about being footloose in Himalayas is the chance to experience the world directly and without a filter, and to rediscover the rhythms of the day and the seasons. Hiking is an unscripted experience where spontaneity is the rule.
To explore, to escape our daily lives, to relax, to step outside ourselves and shake things up. I travel because I am curious. I never feel more alive. Traveling gives me opportunities to stumble upon new and exciting things, escape from my comfort zones and to fall in love with every new experience
One of the reasons why I travel is to find myself by stepping outside of myself and getting away from the chores of urban life. In familiarity, our thoughts are shackled by the routine. Travelling – especially trekking – lets me challenge everything that is common, routine and established.
And that is where by brother comes in. He is such an inspiration, one who have taught me the new meanings of what it is to travel. I love his company during these escapes as conversing with him lets me identify new meanings and expands the horizon of my petty existence.
In a way, getting away – especially with my brother – becomes an essential way of effective thinking. What I enjoy most is the conversation both with myself and my companion. It lets me think with a new and fresh perspective – may be something to do with new surrounding and fresh air.
Coming back to the trail, Triund is a popular camp site and picnic spot. Accommodation could also be taken up in government guest house. Accommodation is reasonably cheap and available from INR 500 per night.
Food and water are nowadays easily available but at a premium price (Packages mineral drinking water cost INR 40). The trek which takes around 2-4 hours (depending upon your stamina) could be done in 1 day or you could camp for the night to watch the stunning panoramas during sunset and sunrise.
After our arrival in Trund, we spent half an hour at the camping site – basically, entire Triund is a camp site with one government rest house and many privately run camps along with plenty of shacks selling tea, magi and other refreshments.
From Triund we decided to stretch the limit of our acclimatization trek. So after some rest and savoring in the panorama we headed towards Illaqa and the Snow Line Café. The café was named so because once upon a time, this place demarcated the snow covered hill from the rest.
It was a moderate hike well defined by yellow arrow lines pointing the way forward. The trail to Illaqa was more awesome than tiring. At some places it appeared as if the trail ended but then the yellow pointers always came to our rescue. All along we had a magnificent view of the mighty Himalayan peaks. The view was sometimes more than 180 degrees panorama.
But the disappointing thing was the visible layer of pollution on what otherwise would have pure white beauty of cotton wool peaks of Dauladhar Range. The snow – as the owner of Snow Line café later recounted – has receded over the year thanks to the rampant commercialization and deforestation.
The weather was a bit nippy near Illaqa although it was nearing afternoon. Since we didn't had anything substantial to eat along the way, to say that I was a bit hungry would be an overstatement. At the café, the menu wasn't quite munificent when it came to lunch.
We had the option to have magi once again (60 bucks) or the rice and lentil (120 bucks) for our lunch. Without any second thoughts, I asked for rice. Our lunch was served hot straight from the stove inside the shack.
Isn't it wonderful that even the normal food tastes lip smacking and leaves you asking for more when you undertake an arduous hike. Never in my life have I tasted a magi as delicious and rice and lentil as scrumptious as when I am footloose in Himalayas.
The most delectable part of our lunch was the achaar (pickle) which was table d'hôte. I believe I ate more pickle than vegetable that was served. But that was to be considering the cold clime outside the shack and the odd chime inside my stomach.
After a hearty lunch it was time to explore the surroundings. The Indrahaar Pass and the mighty peaks of Dauladhar were very close from where I was standing. During treks and hikes in Himalayas I have often met with or have seen some daring souls. One such sight during this hike was an uncle ji in his mid 60s (or may be even 70s) who was going to conquer Indrahaar Pass with his porter cum guide.
After spending some time at Illaqa, it was time to turn back. We arrived back at Triund in no time. It was then that things begin to change. In the excitement of awe inspiring view in the morning, I had left home with just the slippers and the camera.
There was no plan for Triund let alone Illaqa and Snow Line Café. So after so much uphill and downhill hike, it began to tell on my knees especially the right one. Till the time we arrived near Magic View Café, the pain was unbearable.
Looking at my condition, we decided to take a breather and we sat there and had some juice, snacks and smoke along with a long session of conversation on life, career, traveling and random stuff. Although a bit subdued, the pain was unrelenting. We decide to continue our descent at a slow rate as it was getting dark.
Somehow I managed to reach Gallu Devi Temple and we both took a sigh of relief. We took a breather and then again took the goat trail we had taken in the morning to reach Naddi Village.
Oh boy! Was that a mistake?
The darkness was soon descending all over and in some places the trail went eerily dark due to dense vegetation. After walking for what appeared like days for me, we were still in the middle of nowhere. That was when we thought we are very close and identified – to our horror – what appeared like the shortcut we had early in the morning.
It was a treacherous road to take with no visible trail in sight but we trudged along. As we descended down the short cut, it got more and more vicious without a trail in sight. After 20 minutes or so with no line of sight and my knees almost giving in to the hardship of having the firm foot on slopes strewn with leaves and all, we decided to go back.
That's when the real pain started. Now as we looked around in the midst of the forest even uphill trail was out of sight. The day was fast receding and there was just a little light left and my knees were aching like hell. Even a single step appeared like a momentous ask. I was felling like "ab nahin…ab bas…" (Can't take it anymore). Actually a helicopter lift would have helped.
The panic started to creep in and we frenzied to find our way back to the trail. After a millennium passed and I almost gave up we were back on the trail. It was then that I took a sigh of relief which was unprecedented. But pain didn't stop.
After tackling those treacherous trails in the nowhere, my knees were ready to give up. The only solace was that we were back on the trail. From their I kind of crawled my way back to Naddi Village. After 1 more hours of crawling we arrived at Naddi.
This was the most painful hike ever in my life. But how can I forget the ecstasy that the hike up to Triund and Illaqa offered me. When we trudged along to our hotel it was already dark and I could barely walk.
I didn't had even a single bottle or beer…something which could act as anaesthetic to rid me of the pain. So with my knees all sore I kicked up the bike to head towards the rejuvenation shop. The catch was that we didn't even had cash up our sleeves. All the ATMs in Naddi and even McLeod don't dispense cash after 6-7 in the evening. I could have written an Ode to Dejection then and there.
We counted our cash in hand and it turned out that we still had 90 bucks in our pocket. Sufficient for a quarter. But that will do. So I bought one at the same trisection and came back to hotel. Now was the time for rumination.
What an adventurous day we had up the hills. It was promising, rewarding as well as punishing. We sat talking and reflecting as the dinner arrived. I am not fit my brother observed and I reluctantly agreed. In the distance the thundercloud roared.
Yes! It was overcast and soon it started raining cats and dogs with distant sound of thunders. With my knee situation and weather condition, embarking on yet another trek (to Kareri Lake) was ruled out then and there. "So what we'd do next?" I asked my brother. He calmly replied "Abhi Mcleod to bacha hua hai." (We are yet to explore McLeodganj).
So with all planning going awry tomorrow was the day for local sightseeing. It would be McLeodganj, Bhagsunag and Dharamkot but on bike. But now is the time for well deserved break and sleep. For tomorrow will be another day.
I woke up at 5 O'clock in the morning. A bit of hangover…thanks to the beer and whisky. But it's a magical view of Triund Hill outside of the window. It's cold but still I crawl out of the quilt. It's worth it.

Time flies when it's Fashion Week season. Can you believe New York Fashion Week is already over? I saw a lot of magnificent looks, but these are my favourites:

Ladies, tired of the cold weather and already dreaming of a hot Summer? A lot of my female friends keep asking me what the trends will be this Spring Summer. Well, here they are:
Cropped tops
Don't think Britney Spears deluxe, this trend is all about showing off your midriff (not your navel!), so combine them with high-rise pants/skirts.
Sporty Spice is back, but – thank God! – in a good way. Think Lacoste chic and you're ready to go!
Bye, bye, neon colors… pastel is taking over! Color block your outfit with pastel colors and you make a much softer statement.
Art Deco
Straight silhouettes, Art Deco influences… . Let's go back to the Roaring Twenties!
Ocean's '12
Underwater world colors and prints, coral red, mermaid dresses… fashion has finally found its Atlantis.
Everybody Balenciaga
Cristobal Balenciaga's oeuvre keeps on giving, and not only to Nicolas Ghesquière. A lot of designers are obsessed by the sculptural silhouettes and the Fifties couture shapes.

'What on earth is a mankle?' I hear you ask. Well, to put it simply, when a man goes out in shoes – sans socks – he reveals his ankles. I already show them off for years now, but according to the trends of Summer 2011, mankles are tout le rage. With trousers becoming increasingly shorter and the regular pair of jeans or chinos now being rolled up, hell is breaking loose with the naked mankle infiltrating our streets en masse. Well, in fact, not in Belgium, where men don't like this look.
I know it's not comfortable not wearing socks in your shoes, but you can always cheat with a pair of shoe liners (no, not ankle socks!), only covering your heel and toes.

Read what measures the European Union is taking to meet targets to reduce carbon emissions in different sectors in order to prevent climate change
To prevent dangerous climate change, in October 2014 EU leaders adopted the 2030 climate and energy framework which includes binding targets to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the EU by at least 40% below 1990 levels by 2030. This target is also part of the EU's commitment under the Paris Agreement.
To reach this goal, the European Union has come up with ambitious legislation.
An Emissions Trading System for industry
The EU's Emissions Trading System (ETS) aims to reduce the industry's carbon emissions by obliging companies to hold a permit for each tonne of CO2 they emit. Companies have to buy them through auctions. There are some incentives to boost innovation in the sector.
The European Emissions Trading System is the world's first major carbon market and remains the largest one. It regulates about 45% of total EU greenhouse gas emissionsand covers approximately 11,000 power stations and manufacturing plants in the EU. The goal is to reduce emissions by 43% compared to 2005.
Find out more about how the EU's Emissions Trading System works and how it is currently being reformed.
Tackling carbon emissions from other sectors
Sectors not covered by the Emissions Trading System – such as transport, agriculture, buildings and waste management – still account for nearly 60% of the EU's overall emissions. Emissions from these sectors will be cut by 30% by 2030 compared to 2005.
This will be done through agreed national emission targets which are calculated based on countries' gross domestic product per capita. Lower-income EU countries will be provided with support.
Find out member states' targets and how less wealthier EU countries will be supported.
Managing forests for climate change
EU forests absorb the equivalent of 10.9% of total EU greenhouse gas emissions each year. The EU wants to use this power to fight climate change.
New legislation aims to prevent emissions caused by deforestation and oblige each EU country to compensate changes in land use, which lead to emissions of CO2, by better managing or increasing their forests.
Reducing car emissions
Cars and vans produce 15% of EU's CO2 emissions. The EU is working on legislation to toughen car emissions standards. The Parliament is also calling for measures to facilitate the shift to electric and hybrid vehicles.

Group 2 and Grounding
I will be going with fat cables but I question the suggested routing of the ground wire. On my truck the ground wire is very short and goes to a convenient bolt on the engine block right next to the battery tray. A 00 wire to the mounting bolt of the starter would be three times as long.
Is the massive engine block really that poor of a conductor compared to a long run of wire? I guess I'm looking more for an explanation than disputing the suggested grounding procedure.

BioWare's Mike Laidlaw has revealed a trio of mysterious Dragon Age images and a simple question: "Are those griffins?"
The legendary griffin is a central component of Grey Warden lore. Although now believed to be extinct, the mighty creatures once served as mounts for the Wardens and still feature prominently in Grey Warden heraldry. Which is what makes it interesting that Laidlaw, the lead designer on Dragon Age 2, has tossed three lovely bits of art he "stumbled across" and asked cryptically, "Are those griffins?"
That, naturally, leads to more down-to-Earth questions about what exactly BioWare is cooking up. Is new Dragon Age 2 DLC on the way? Are we looking at the first images of Dragon Age 3? Laidlaw implied that the former is more likely. "There's been a lot of requests to explore areas outside of Kirkwall, and I agree that seeing some more of the Free Marches would be cool," he wrote.
Laidlaw also took the opportunity to assure fans that he is "absolutely aware of the concerns" some of them have about the game and that "there are aspects of Dragon Age 2 that not only can but must be improved in future installments."
"Hawke's story was a departure from the usual tale, and in crafting it and the game around it we learned a lot," he said. "Some from what worked, but even more from what didn't. Such is always the way."
So what are we looking at here? They're pretty but I can't say they're ringing any bells for me. I'm pretty sure those are griffins, though. Opinions?

Possession of a Controlled Substance, with the exception of Marijuana is a Felony in Las Vegas, Nevada. Some common examples of controlled substances are: cocaine, heroin, marijuana, ecstasy, methamphetamine, hydrocodone, steroids, valium, and Xanax.
Under the law there are two types of possession. First, you have, "actual" possession, where the drugs are in your pocket or purse, or located somewhere on your "person". Another type of possession is, "constructive" possession. For example, if you were inside a restaurant having dinner, and the police saw a baggie of cocaine inside your vehicle, you don't actually possess the cocaine at that moment, but you will be charged with Possession of Controlled Substance just the same, because you are deemed to have "constructive" possession of your car and everything inside it.
Las Vegas Criminal Defense Attorney Michael A. Troiano is experienced in defending his clients for a variety of drug charges, ranging from a first time possession of drugs and/or paraphernalia charge, to the most serious of Trafficking offenses. He will discuss all possible defenses on your Possession of Controlled Substance charge and work towards a dismissal or reduction to a lesser non drug related charge and help you avoid prison.

CariDee English Interview with Entertainment Weekly
September 25, 2010
Entertainment Weekly conducted an interview Cycle 7's winner CariDee English with regards to an update on her career and life since her win. Here is the text from the interview (written and posted by EW.com Staff):
'Top Model' Favorites: Where are they now?
Even though the Cycle 7 winner had to postpone our chat once because she had heartburn, things are moving along nicely for her. She's only the second Top Model — after Cycle 6 winner Dani Evans — to re-sign with CoverGirl. (The Cycle 8 and 9 winners are still under their show-prize contracts.) Other highlights include a JC Penney campaign, a handful of magazine covers (Social Life, American Salon, andSeventeen, among them), as well as a recent guest spot on Gossip Girl as arm candy. Next, she'll host and executive-produce a reality show for MTV that begins shooting in April. She's mum on details, but insists, "It's never been done before."
FAVORITE SHOOT "I really had fun with the last one I did, for Cosmo. It was your main man versus your mane man, like your boyfriend versus your hair stylist. You know how they're both so important to you in different ways — it's about how you balance it out. I had two hot guys with me all the time. I've had a boyfriend for three years so it's like the only time I can kiss another guy and get away with it."

|The Jubb Family in Batley Yorkshire
|HOME - Land Introduction - Batley - Photos of Batley
The Jubbs
The first Jubb family in Batley parish was that of Joseph Jubb, born about 1786 in Hanging Heaton. He married Leticia Talbot in Batley Parish. They and their children and grandchildren were among Batley's most prominent citizens.
Joseph Jubb was an original member of the Hick Lane Mill. Built in 1822, it was the first mill designed for the manufacture of shoddy.
"Mr. Joseph Jubb and his six sons owned five mills between them and had social position to match."Note: Joseph's sons were: John 1807, Joseph 1809, George 1819, Samuel 1821, by his marriage to Leticia Talbot and Thomas c. 1837 and James Brook c. 1840 by his marriage to Mary _____
The descendants of Joseph Jubb subsequently branched out and invested in the Howley Park Colliery (coal mine) assuring that their mills would not run out of fuel.
The family initially lived in town but following the fashion of successful mill owners the sons, John, George, and Samuel moved to mansions in Upper Batley where John was listed in Lamplands House, (1861 through 1881), George was listed in Swiss House (1871 and 1881) and Samuel was listed in Woodfield (1871 and 1881). By In 1901 the only Jubb living in the area was James Brook Jubb, the son of Joseph and his second wife born in 1840, who had replaced George Jubb at Swiss House. 1901 Charles Carter (shoddy manufacturer) was at Lamplands and Harry Dyson (cigar merchant) was a Woodfield. Samuel Jubb's widow, Mary, was living with their daughter, Eleanor, on Park Avenue Rutland Road, Batley.
Joseph's son, Samuel born in 1821, wrote The History of the Shoddy-Trade its rise progress and present position. Interestingly, Samuel Jubb didn't credit Benjamin Law as the developer of shoddy. Samuel certainly must have known of Benjamin's role in inventing the process as his father, Joseph Jubb, and Benjamin Law were contemporaries and other writers of the time credit Benjamin Law. Furthermore Samuel Jubb made the following statement in 1873:
"The shoddy manufacture was commenced at Batley, Yorkshire, in the year 1813, being introduced by Mr. Benjamin Law, of the same place."See Batley Information.
Son, John, was the first mayor of Batley and also held other civic positions.

The Dolphins signed receiver Mitch Mathews. Mathews has been with three other teams the past year, including spending some time on the Browns' practice squad in 2016.
Miami needed another receiver with Rashawn Scott out with injury.
Mathews went undrafted out of BYU in 2016 after catching 152 passes for 2,083 yards and 24 touchdowns in four college seasons. The Chiefs signed him as an undrafted college free agent, and he ended up in Cleveland.
The Vikings signed Mathews on March 30 but waived him May 30.

The Raindrop Cake Is The Hottest Dessert On Instagram
This Japanese dessert boggles the mind and the palate.
The Raindrop Cake is taking over dessert plates in New York City and social media. Made from unsweetened spring water, it's the cake that looks like a huge droplet of water. It's almost too pretty to eat--almost.
According to The Village Voice, the Raindrop Cake is "nestled between a mound of roasted soybean flour and a puddle of dark brown sugar syrup, it's made from unsweetened spring water and set with agar, an algae-derived gelatinous substance that makes it jiggle like Jell-O." The cake made its Big Apple debut earlier this month at the Smorgasburg market in Brooklyn. Since then, everyone from Today to Slate has gushed about the gorgeous dessert.
According to Slate, chef Darren Wong was inspired to create the cake based upon the Japanese dessert mizu shingen mochi. The Village Voice clarifies that the dessert isn't really a cake per se but rather the term is loosely translated from Japanese.
So what does this photogenic dessert taste like? The Village Voice writer who tried it, describes it as "flavorful and refreshing" and claims, "each bite burst and melted in my mouth." New Yorkers can sample the raindrop cake for themselves at Smorgasburg for $8 or SenYa's in the East Village for $5. For everyone else, there's always Instagram.

The school calendar for most schools across the nation is based on the old agrarian lifestyle. In the past, students needed the summer months off so they could help with planting and harvesting. Farming and the crop cycle are no longer primary in scheduling the school year.
There is a growing trend for a year-round school calendar. The other day I was listening to an NPR story about Hall Fletcher Elementary in Asheville, North Carolina, which has adopted the year-round model. After a five week summer vacation, students are back in school. About 80% of the students come from low-income families and do not really have engaging learning opportunities during the summer.
If students do not have enriching summer activities, they lose academic ground. The year-round model has the same amount of school as the traditional school calendar. There is a five week summer break, three week breaks in September and March, and a Christmas break. In the United States, about 3 or 4 percent of schools use the year-round model. The model postulates that academic retention increases with shorter breaks.
Academics and parents who dislike the year-round school calendar point out that there are added costs to a year-round schedule. Student, teacher, and family schedules can be disrupted. Some parents at Hall Fletcher Elementary removed their kids and switched schools to avoid the year-round calendar.
There is disagreement about which school calendar model is more enriching for students. This is a debate that needs additional study-based evidence. Tradition can be firmly entrenched, and sometimes change is difficult. The real question is what model is better suited for learning?
"Work is the greatest thing in the world, so we should always save some of it for tomorrow." — Don Herold (humorist)
