George Clooney, famous for his many movie roles, was once dubbed the world's sexiest man alive. However, don't be deceived: Clooney has a dirty, stinking secret that he revealed in an interview with Dennis Miller.
According to the interview, Clooney seized an opportunity to prank his friend when he noticed that his cat had not defecated for roughly 3 days.
Subsequently, seeing the potential for an elaborate, yet gross prank, Clooney secretly scooped the cat's poop out of the litter box and flushed it down the toilet for 4 consecutive days. During this period, his friend, growing increasingly concerned, took the cat to a vet who prescribed it laxative medication to force a bowel movement, but still Clooney continued to remove the poop.
Eventually, Clooney decided to polish off the prank by taking an unusually big poop in the poor cat's litter box, much to his friend's surprise and disgust who believed that it was the constipated cat that delivered huge mess before him when he came across it.

I want to admit something. I'm not usually writing articles to be published online on SoundOfAarhus, I don't have the same writing flow, or the same skills when it comes writing articles. That said, this time I'm going to give it a try. SOA has been selected to be part this year's Oppenheimer festival as the compere. It's my job to describe the bands and I don't know if I can do it in the same professional way as the other writers, but I'm going to try to describe some pictures I get when I hear the music, who's going to play at this year's Oppenheimer festival.
Shy Shy Shy – you're sleeping in the daytime but wakes up when the sun is going down. Their tunes is the soundtrack of the feeling you have when you, slightly drunk, are waving through the streets at night, with the most beautiful girl by your side. It's deep and hits you right in solar plexus but at the same time it's light and uplifting.
In Lonely Majesty – This is Folk with a big F. This music you can play everywhere, and it will make you happy. There are some clear string to Mumford & Sons, but they definitely found their own way to convey joy.
Velvet Volume – The girls behind the concert of the year if you ask several music experts. Imagine the following scenario: A brunette is driving a cabriolet out in the desert; she's smoking a cigarette and looks like one the most independent woman you have ever seen. As she loosens her hair she throws the cigarette and everything in the background is suddenly set on fire; it simply blows up. That's what Velvet Volume sounds like. There is so much attitude, talent and drive in this music.
Manus Nigra – Take one of the best hip-hop DJ's and producer mix it with one of the grand old men of rap and top it with danceable and catchy chorus then you have Manus Nigra. This is indeed a very exciting project with a lot of potential.
At last, remember that our local fashionista Asbjørn has been chosen as the surprise act. If you're into electronic pop music you already love that brilliant guy, otherwise, you should bring an open mind – he is really talented.

🠈 Starwood 🠊
Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide is a collection of luxury hotel brands offering over 1200 properties worldwide.
Starwood Hotels was assembled as an REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) by Starwood Capital in 1969. The REIT grew through acquisition of properties. In the 1980s, the company went public on the NSYE with the symbol HOT. Today the Stamford, Connecticut company concentrates on hotel management and franchising.
In 2016 China based Anbang Insurance made a $14 billion bid for the firm. The bid fell through and the company was acquired by Marriott.
Brands in the Starwood Family include: Westin, Sheraton (and Four Points by Sheraton & The Luxury Collection), W Hotels, St. Regis, Le Méridien, Aloft, Element by Westin, and the Tribute Portfolio.
Westin Hotels
Westin Hotels was created in 1930 when hotel owners 1930, Severt W. Thurston, Frank Dupar, Peter and Adolph Schmidt formed a joint management company called Western Hotels to help operate their Washington based hotels during the Great Depression.
The company expanded throughout the Western US and Canada and international. The company went public in 1963 with the name Western International Hotels.
Western Hotels was acquired by UAL Corporation in an effort to create a full service travel service in 1970. UAL shortened the name of Western Hotels International to Westin in 1980. UAL sold Westin in 1994 to Acki of Japan which in turn sold the franchise to Starwood in 1994.
Sheraton Corporation began in 1937 when Ernest Henderson and Robert Moore began acquiring hotels including the Stonehaven Hotel of Springville, Ma and a hotel named "Sheraton Hotel." As the Sheraton had a nice sign, the company chose to develop it as their primary brand as they expanded along the East Coast and into Canada.
According to Wikipedia (drawn 9/2015), Sheraton became the first hotel listed on the NYSE.
In 1949 Sheraton acquired the Eppley Hotel company which was started by Eugene C. Eppley in 1917 and had grown to 22 hotels and was considered the largest hotel brand of the day.
Sheraton grew domestically with the introduction of the Sheraton Motor Lodge and outside North America with the purchase of hotels from the Matson Line in Hawaii and in international destinations with destinations such as Tel Aviv and Caracas.
ITT purchased Sheraton in 1968 and improved its communication infrastructure and expanded internationally with the purchase of the Italian CIGA chain. ITT began managing and marketing its top tier hotels as the ITT Sheraton Luxury Collection. ITT created the Four Points by Sheraton Brand for midsize hotels.
ITT sold its hotel interests to Starwood in 1998. Startwood shortened the name of its top tier hotels to simply "The Luxury Collection." Independent four star hotels are listed in "The Tribute Portfolio".
Sheraton purchased the naming rights for the Hawaii Bowl (a college football playoff game) in 2013.
W Hotels
In 1998, Starwood created a boutique brand of hotels with the shortened name "W." The brand is noted for a minimalist modern decor.
St. Regis
Sheraton acquired the St. Regis Hotel in 1968. This four star/five diamond hotel was built in 1904 by John Jacob Astor IV who later perished on the Titanic in 1912.
In 1999, Starwood chose the historic St Regis Hotel as the flagship of its new line of ultra luxury hotels.
Le Méridien
Le Méridien is a brand of upscale hotels developed by Air France. The chain had grown to 58 hotels by 1991 with propertied in Europe, Africa, the French West Indies, Canada, Mauritus.
Le Méridien was acquired by the British Forte Group which added the Heritage Hotels and Posthouse Forte brands then went through a series of mergers and divestitures including The Granada Group, the Compass Group, Nomura Group, the Principal and Lehman Brothers before being acquired by Starwood in 2005.
Le Méridien has over 100 hotels in 50 countries.

The government might be reopened, but online retailers are worried about whether the uncertainty the shutdown created, along with broader economic woes, could mean a dreary holiday season for online shoppers.
EBay, usually a driver for holiday e-commerce, rattled analysts last week when its executives gave a disappointing forecast for the holiday season and said e-commerce was noticeably soft.
"The shutdown eroded two years of gains in consumer confidence," said Colin Gillis, an analyst at BGC Partners.
Still, he said, it remains to be seen whether economic uncertainty means people shop less during the holidays.
"The average American might say, 'I'm nervous, not as confident,' " he said. "But that doesn't really mean they're not going to go out and spend as much over the holidays. That's one thing I've learned about Americans: they love to buy."
Traditional retailers like Walmart have also reported a sluggish autumn. Last week, Walmart's chief executive, Mike Duke, said consumer budgets have shrunk because of a tough and unpredictable economic situation.
"It's not clear if the government back in business means e-commerce will snap back and have an excellent second half of October," said Jordan Rohan, an analyst at Stifel Nicolaus.
During its third-quarter earnings call, Google, which makes much of its ad revenue from e-commerce, declined to forecast shopping results for the holiday shopping season but said it had not noticed a significant decline in retail spending this fall. "Over all, performance was strong in the retail sector," said Nikesh Arora, Google's chief business officer.
Another potential challenge for online retailers this holiday season is that people are increasingly window shopping on mobile phones, but they are still much less likely to make purchases on mobile devices than they are on computers.
Of the clicks on Google's e-commerce ads, 31 percent were made on phones or tablets last quarter, versus just 5.4 percent a year ago, according to the Search Agency, a digital marketing firm. But people make purchases after clicking on an ad on a mobile device at just a quarter of the rate that they do on computers, according to BGC Partners.

I get people in my chair that have a new texture to their hair, it's breakage! When I go through the list of things that could be causing this, most of the time it's a new hot tool. Most tools these days have a thermostat, if you are using a tool that doesn't, I urge you to consider replacing that old tool with a new one that does and turn down the heat.
Heat rapidly dries out hair, and if your hair is already colored or just naturally dry, then you should trim your hair more often and use masque conditioners to help keep hair healthy.
Start off your heat styling with towel drying a good portion of the water out of your hair. Use a blotting technique, not harsh rubbing. Then place your first product(s) in the hair before you turn on that blow dryer. I like to use Alterna Bamboo Kendi Dry Oil Mist and Alterna Bamboo Weightless Whipped Mousse. Direct air flow from roots to ends and try a concentrator nozzle. This nifty little nozzle should speed up drying time and help with frizz. Blow hair to the opposite side of where you want your hair to lay for the most volume. Dry your hair 100% before you put an iron to it!!! The heat of an iron can cause any excess water to blister the hair cuticle with steam. To add a ton of shine and close the cuticle, I like to blast hair with cold air after I blow dry or use hot tools. Most blow dryers have a built-in cold button. Cooling your hair off will also set your style.
When using curling irons, flat irons and blow dryers, you always want to choose one that is of professional grade. Anything that uses a ceramic or a tourmaline plate is good; they are much safer to use because of the metal coating. Professional tools get hotter faster and stay very hot, meaning you don't have to hold the hair in the barrel or go over it as many times with a flat iron. Remember to constantly move the iron through your hair. For finer hair I would set the iron to 300-320 degrees, for more corse hair around 350-390 should to the trick, you can adjust if it's not doing the job. Starting off lower is always better. When flat ironing and curling, use a thermal protecting spray that has a little hold in it, or a very light-weight hold hairspray like Keratin Complex Flex Flow Finishing Spray.
To maintain style and ditch the shampooing and drying process every day try a dry shampoo. The time-saving formulas of dry shampoos are designed to soak up oil. To rehydrate without wetting, spritz a dry conditioner on thirsty ends every two days. Keratin Complex makes Lock Luster Nourishing Spray Conditioner.
the breakdown
1. Always use protection/ styling product
2. Blow dry in the direction of hair growth (roots to ends)
3.Turn the heat down to an appropriate temp
*Never put an iron to damp or wet hair

Day 1: BODRUM
From Bodrum airport, transfer the short drive to the bustling resort town of Bodrum and board your luxurious sailing yacht. Your captain and crew will be waiting to welcome you on board in Bodrum Harbor. Year-round balmy temperatures, international marinas, elegant boutiques, chic cafés and nightclubs, and a variety of delightful dining experiences attract many to the vibrant Bodrum harbor. The 15th century Crusader castle, the world-class Museum of Underwater Archaeology, and the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, one of Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, bring an important historical dimension to this resort city.
Spend the first night on board in Bodrum harbor or a bay close by.
Day 2: GUMUSLUK
The charming fisherman's cove and the seaside village of Gumusluk are located at the westernmost tip of the Bodrum Peninsula. This peaceful spot is one of the oldest settlements on the Bodrum peninsula, and it stands on the site of the ancient Carian city of Myndos whose seafront sections slid into the sea in a long-forgotten earthquake. While island hopping, you can anchor in some of the most secluded spots which let you really get the feel for the places that most visitors leave at sunset. We give you a boutique version of Island hopping, discovering historical sites, tiny harbor villages, untouched beaches and bays, and a choice of great activities; all while making you at home in the spacious comfort of your luxurious private cabin. On board, you enjoy the relaxed company of your fellow guests, large lounge areas and deck, immaculate crew service, and magical feast after a feast on board each day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
The remains of Gumusluk's ancient harbor walls are scattered at the base of the headlands just to the north and west of the village. Today these remains are a magnet for snorkelers and divers. In 2006 100 archaeologists descended on Gumusluk to start excavating the land, and so far they have uncovered further walls and mosaics. Don't forget to bring a snorkel to explore the site where to where Brutus and Cassius fled in 44 BCE after having murdered the infamous Julius Caesar. Rabbit Island guards the entrance to the cove and harbors its own set of ruins connected to the mainland by way of a sunken ancient city wall that allows visitors to wade over from the village square. The island offers a beautiful panoramic view back to Gumusluk bay and beach.
Thanks to its archaeological value, Gumusluk is protected against development, which means- unlike many other holiday destinations- it has not been overexposed and can remain as remote, scenic and charming in the future as it is today. It increases in charm in the evening, when locals choose their favorite establishment from more than a dozen fish restaurants along the seafront, each displaying a wide variety of locally caught fish, seafood and meze dishes. The westerly aspect of Gumusluk provides some spectacular sunsets; aperitif in hand relax and listen out for the evocative sound of the single piston fishing boats chugging their way into the harbour- a pleasure not to be missed. There's also a lovely quiet beach at the far end of the village.

time for apple picking & campfires
Josh Rose
Updated: September 2018
Almost like magic, the humidity disappears, cool nights emerge, and it's time for campfires and apple picking! I always like this time of year because it's not really summer, but not quite freezing cold yet. If a day of apple picking, hiking, and ending with the warm glow of a campfire sounds good, then read on.
There are a lot of great places to go apple picking in the Lynchburg area. Many of the best orchards are closer to the Blue Ridge Mountains or the Shenandoah Valley. Each orchard has it's own unique vibe, so depending on what you want to experience, one place may be better than another. Below are three places I have been, but there are many more nearby.
My top pick is Dickie Brother's Orchard. This beautiful orchard is located about 45 minutes away, in the hills of Roseland, VA. The secluded land has been in their family for centuries and has more than just apples. You can see the website for a full list, but I have bought fresh apples, sweet potatoes, and tasty peaches from them. This is more of a working farm than a tourist attraction, but does have a quaint store front with some antique machinery and equipment on display. For those that cannot walk into the orchard and pick, there are pre-picked apples and other produce sold in the shop. This orchard is peaceful, authentic, and has a beautiful landscape in the hills.
Next on the list is Gross Orchard in Bedford. Also located about 45 minutes away, they start their apple picking season on September 1st. You can get peaches now, or visit their shop, and even see the blacksmith on Saturdays. Gross Orchard has been a family owned business for over a century and is constantly updating. My kids and my parents had fun at the orchard, plus it is close the Blue Ridge Parkway and Peaks of Otter.
The last place on my personal list is Johnson's Orchards in Bedford. This is the best place to go for the whole family. They have farm animals to visit, a lot of apples, local wine, and a shop. There are fun little buildings, and plenty to do besides picking apples. One thing to be aware of is that the trees are not as sectioned off from each other as other orchards, so it may be harder to pick all of the same type of apples. My kids and I had fun seeing the goats and turkeys; we got some really great pictures. Johnson's Orchard is also close to the D-Day memorial and the Blue Ridge Parkway if you want to make a day out of it.
Many of the "fresh" apples you buy in the grocery store can be a year old. When I worked in grocery distribution, I found out that apples are specifically developed and engineered to look and keep fresh in long term storage. Warehouses will store apples in refrigerated rooms and pump gas in to displace the oxygen. They only ship out what will sell, so the oldest apples are the ones for sale right before the next apple season. This kind of makes you want to pick your own… apples that are grown to taste good.
I love to have a good campfire. There is something about the warmth, soft glowing light, smell, and crackling sound that a good campfire makes.
This checklist below can help you get started:
Kindling - Every fire starts small so get some paper, small pieces of wood, dry sticks, or speed things up with a fire starter brick from the store.
Wood - You can buy wood, but that's cheating. So gather some dry wood and have it ready near your fire.
Poker Stick - Every good fire has a poker stick, so don't forget. Find one that isn't too dry or it will catch on fire.
Roasting Stick - Either buy one, use a metal hanger, or get a green stick.
S'mores - Get s'more stuff on the way back from hiking - those square marshmallows are fun!
Chairs - You need a place to sit, so remember the chairs.
Water to put it out - Don't forget to put the fire out when you are done - kids love this part.

Random Musing: King of the JunglePosted on February 24th, 2014 No comments
While procrastinating my homework today I ended up on cracked.com. Somehow I ended up looking at all of their Disney articles and ruining my childhood one article at a time. I was already aware that Simba and Nala were actually half siblings, but after seeing videos and reading articles published to this site, The Lion King will forever be ruined for me. I'll still watch it, because it's The Lion King and it will always be amazing, but it's tainted now.
Thinking about this movie made me question why the lion is the king of the jungle, though. Lions live in the sahara. The sahara is not a jungle, not even close. It's dry and dusty with very little brush and a few random trees and a lot of rocks. Who decided this looked like the jungle and why were they allowed to stop attending school at such a young age (since we learn about the jungle starting in first grade)?
That said, now I have "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" stuck in my head…Ee-e-e-oh-mum-a-weh!
Random Musing: On Top of the WorldPosted on February 22nd, 2014 No comments
I had never heard the song "On Top of the World" by Imagine Dragons until I started this project. The sample project about Video Star used this song for the music video created using the app. I've since fallen in love with the song and have listened to it on repeat for the last two days.
While I do enjoy the song, I think I may subconsciously be hoping that it will get my creative juices flowing. Obviously the creator of the Video Star project did a very good job on the project, so maybe if I listen to the song she was inspired by my work will earn a good grade as well…?
I can hope, anyway.
Welcome to Six Days Short of a Week!Posted on January 30th, 2014 No comments
Hey y'all, welcome to my blog for Digital and Media Writing. It's titled "Six Days Short of a Week" because my last name is Munday – spelled with a 'U' and forever confusing my teachers and anyone who has to file my paperwork.
My name's Taylor and I created this blog as a place to track my progress on the assignments for class. I hope to post different decisions I've made in regards to the projects as I work on them. Eventually, each of the three major projects will be posted here, as well.
I've published an "About Me" page that includes information about why I'm taking this course and a little bit about myself. The "Site Info" section explains how to use the different areas of my blog and why I set it up the way I did. Finally, each of the three major assignments has its own page.
Thank you for visiting my site and I hope you enjoy Six Days Short of a Week!

I don't know if I have an all time favorite photographer but Vincent Laforet has been a huge influence on me. One aspect of his work that I go crazy over is his aerial photography, its simply unmatched compared to anyone else's aerial images. After seeing all of Vincent's work, I've always wanted to go shoot from a helicopter and after following certain accounts on instagram over the years, I've had the urge to fly over the buildings in NYC. 2015 is the year for me to do as many new things and go to as many new places as possible, so I decided to go for it, and booked a flight with FlyNYON.
Everyone who works at FlyNYON is really cool and is willing to work with you and help you out with anything you need, the pilot even asks you where you want to go before you take off, so you can sort of make your own route. One thing I didn't understand is that they didn't make us sign any forms or waivers saying we can't sue if we fall out or anything like that. You just show up at the hangar, gear up and go.
Having your feet dangle over the buildings of Manhattan is unlike anything else. I can't imagine experiencing anything like it any other way. You get SUPER close to the buildings, way closer than I thought and there's a lot to see in the 20 minutes I had in the air. Watching the sun set while flying next to the Freedom Tower is truly an unforgettable sight. When you land back in Jersey, you step off the helicopter feeling like you just won a gold metal at the olympics. You get such a rush, its unreal.
For anyone who is reading this to try to get a feel of what they need in order to do this, here is some helpful information.
I didn't know when the next time I would be able to do a thing like this again, so I wasn't playing when it came to what I was shooting with. I love wide angle photography, so of course I took my Canon 6D with a 16-35mm. I put a circular polarizer filter on it also so I could get the most blue out of the sky. Even though most of my shots were taken at 16mm, the propellers get in the way when shooting that wide. That was one of my problems that I noticed once I was in the air. You also need fast glass if you're going to take the last flight and capture sunsets. Even at f/2.8 I was struggling to get my shutter fast enough towards the end of the flight.
I also took my second camera which was a Canon T5i and I brought it with a 70-200 which I was hoping to get super telephoto shots with. The pilot told me that would be too tight, and he was right. Especially having a cropped sensor, we were way closer to the building than I thought, so I only used that setup about 20% of the ride. I also have the non IS version of the 70-200 so once the sun started going down, it was too dark to use since its extremely hard to hand hold that lens with all the wind. If I ever do this again I will definitely substitute the 2 cameras for just my 6D with a 24-70mm instead, or maybe a 24-105mm.
Also, I had my GoPro mounted to the hot shoe on my Canon 6D which was what I used for most of the video. I had never done that before so I figured this would be a pretty cool environment to test it out in. I was very pleased with the results.
I'll be honest, half of the reason I wanted to do this was to get my own shoe selfie. I got really jealous of seeing other peoples photos and needed to have my own. I highly underestimated the difficulty of these images. I can honestly say they're some of the hardest shots I've ever taken.
The wind is a major factor for shoe selfies. I knew it was going to be windy up there, but it was 100x windier than I anticipated. I consider myself to have somewhat strong legs. I ride my bike all the time, and I've been skating for the past 19 years and this was a struggle. At some points, it was hard to lift my legs up like this and sometimes when I managed to do so, the wind swung my legs all the way to the left and I would kick the person next to me really hard. It was no joke. Even though I thought I had my sneakers tight enough they still felt like they were going to fly off at any moment.
I feel like an experience like this is very hard to nail first shot. I am happy with a few of the images but I would definitely like another chance. I'll probably do this again at least one more time in the future, probably sooner than later. I wish I could go all the time but it's a really expensive addiction. I would definitely want a nice shot of the empire state building and probably fly directly over the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges. And maybe I'll try a daytime flight so I won't have to struggle with chasing low light.
For photographers interested in doing this, check out FlyNYON for more info, its 100% worth it.

Back in July when Nowhere Town spoke to Joe Solo he told us about the new record Going Home: Music From Potter's Field Vol II that he was working on. Well it's arrived and he plays two album launch shows at the end of this month.
On Thursday January 26th he heads to York's 'pub of dreams' The Fulford Arms. As well as a reading from Andy Wilson with whom Joe produced a book of stories to accompany Vol I of the CD, there will also be musical support from Three Sheets t'Wind.
The following night The Station Hotel in Loftus is the venue for music from Rebekah Findlay and Boss Caine alongside the launch festivities.
Both shows are free and more details can be found here and here. The rest of our January gig picks can be found here.

With the sudden change in weather now, there has been an increase in the Flu.
If you are wondering what I'm talking about, Flu is just another name for the 'Common cold' and symptoms include:
– presence or absence of high fever
– mild to moderate cough
– sore throat (which can be itchy)
– runny and stuffy nose
– headaches
– generalized body pain
– chills
– feeling of tiredness
– sometimes reduced or no appetite, nausea and or vomiting
These symptoms occur in no particular order and it's not compulsory you must have everything.
Now, the issue is, what can one do to relieve one from all these discomfort?
1. You need to stop all forms of stressful work, just so that you can rest.
2. Drink lots of water, clear fluid. Or better still, low-calorie energy drinks.
3. Drink hot beverages, lemon tea.
4. Keep your room warm…not hot.
5. If your nostrils are blocked, try some steam inhalation with some Eucalyptus oil in it.
6. Try using saline nasal sprays
7. Take some Aspirin, Ibuprofen or Diclofenac to relieve the headache and body pain.
8. Don't forget your immune boosters, such as multivitamins, fruits and veggies.
N.B: Don't forget to cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze. You can sneeze directly into the nook of your elbow or a handkerchief… Never your hands. I pity anyone who decides to shake or hold you.
If symptoms persist after all these, just pay your doctor a visit. Consultation fee will be charged.

The Kansas City Chiefs traded up last season to select Patrick Mahomes with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. Now, it appears that the organization is ready to turn the keys over to the strong-armed gunslinger, as the Chiefs have reportedly decided to trade incumbent signal caller Alex Smith to Washington.
It's a move that comes straight out of left field, and was broken on Tuesday night by Terez A. Paylor of The Kansas City Star. According to Paylor, this move was financially motivated to some extent, because trading Smith means the Chiefs are now in line to save a ton of money.
However, Smith was entering the final year of his contract with the Chiefs, and he has a cap number of $20.6 million for 2018. By trading him, the club stands to save $17 million.
Smith has been under center in Kansas City since 2013 after starting his career with San Francisco. In five seasons with the franchise, Smith threw for 17,608 yards, 102 touchdowns, and 33 interceptions while completing 65.1 percent of his attempts. Mahomes, meanwhile, impressed in limited action during his rookie campaign, starting during the Chiefs' season finale against Denver and going 22-for-35 for 284 yards with no touchdowns and a pick.

If "failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor" (Truman Capote), how spicy do you like your success stories?
People can be divided into two groups: those that does not eat chili, those that love spices.
Growing up, I have always said no to spicy food. Preferred the safe savory stuff. In fact, I have always avoided anything with chili just out of prejudice, I enjoyed every bit of it then. But came my late teenage years, thanks to the rebellious hormones, I discovered the rich and exciting flavor of spicy greatness.
When asked this question, my initial reaction was, "Wild kind of spicy, of course.". But that was just my impulsive genes talking. Taken into perspective, how spicy can one really take just to taste the flavor of success? Would you still enjoy it if it's burning hot? Or would success still be bland with the lack of it?
What would my right kind of spicy be like?
If failures are going to dictate how racy the flavor's going to be, with the love I have for winning, it's going to be such a tough decision. Losing in such small dares I have with friends is enough to throw me out of my mood. Simply imagine how I'd feel facing a major setback on a long-run race. On the other hand, can I sit through a whole pot of pasta without its herbs and spices? But then, I can look at it on a much positive note, winning the long race with setbacks encountered is certainly more rewarding and satisfying, right?
Spicy or not, wouldn't success still taste perfectly cooked if you gave your everything while it's cooking? After all, the best recipe advice, I believe, is pouring out your whole heart into the dish.
In response to The Daily Post's writing prompt: "The Spice of Success."

COLD SPRING CREEK. Cold Spring Creek, formerly known as Cold Creek, rises two miles west of U.S. Highway 87 in southeastern Mason County (at 30°34' N, 99°02' W) and runs east for 7½ miles to its mouth on Marschall Creek, just west of Loyal Valley in Llano County (at 30°35' N, 98°57' W). It got its name from the large springs which feed it. Rising in limestone hills on the eastern edge of the Edwards Plateau, the creek crosses flat to rolling terrain, with some steeper, rocky areas midcourse, surfaced by shallow and stony to deep sandy and clay loams that support grasses and open stands of live oak, Ashe juniper, and mesquite. Early settlers came to the creek's banks around 1858.

Maintain your brain to delay, avoid Alzheimer's
NORTH LIMA — Most people are probably aware of the positive effects exercise and a healthy healthful diet have on the body and mind.
Those two choices have an added benefit, though: They will likely prevent or delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease.
That was a main theme put forth in a presentation by Liz Jendrisak tonight at a Beaver Township Neighborhood Block Watch meeting.
In her hour-long lecture, "Maintaining Your Brain," Jendrisak outlined steps people can take to reduce the liklihood of getting the irreversible disease for which there is no cure.
The education director for the Alzheimer's Association's Greater East Ohio chapter noted that race and age are not predictors for the disease. Of the estimated 4.5 million to 5 million cases in the U.S., roughly 90 percent can be attributed to health, diet and lifestyle choices; the other 10 percent have genetic links, she noted.
Certain traits such as slower recall, memory slips and trouble multitasking and remembering familiar names and words are often associated with normal aging, Jendrisak said. But some red flags include memory loss; problems with language; difficulty with abstract thinking; changes in personality, mood and behavior; and disorientation to time and place. Jendrisak cited the example of an Akron man who bought gasoline for his vehicle and, unable to remember his way home, ended up in Florida.
There are no guarantees that a person won't contract the disease, but prevention goes a long way toward cutting down on the odds, she continued. One of the best ways is to exercise the brain, Jendrisak said.
"The brain is the largest muscle in the body," she added.
It's important to walk for exercise because that activity can decrease the risk of dementia, Jendrisak said, adding that learning and other mental activities can stimulate nerve cell connections in the brain. A healthy healthful diet consisting of foods like salmon, broccoli, organic salads, nuts, seeds and those high in folic acids also are beneficial, she continued.
Another preventive measure she cited was cutting out smoking while watching cholesterol levels. High blood pressure and cholesterol as well as diabetes can increase the risk of getting Alzheimer's by 20 percent to 40 percent, she warned.
Other ways to maintain the brain's health include stress relief, staying sharp, periodically changing routines and habits, and taking up a challenging hobby, Jendrisak noted. These steps can go a long way toward preventing or delaying the disease's onset, she said.
When a person is diagnosed with the disease, it's often difficult for family members and other loved ones largely because Alzheimer's gets progressively worse. Those who have a loved one with the disease would do well to refrain from asking open-ended questions, approach the person calmly and from in front, speak slowly and explain tasks step by step.
It's also important to avoid confrontations with the affected person, Jendrisak said.
"You'll never win an argument with a person who has Alzheimer's disease," she cautioned.
Officer Dan Valentine of the Beaver Township Police Department, who also heads the block watch group, said he occasionally tries to bring in speakers who discuss topics beneficial to the group that aren't necessarily related to crime prevention.

folding table, chair and rug
Ever since the Dutch Golden Age, cheap wooden furniture has been embellished with all kinds of decorative paintwork. The furniture painters of the City of Hindeloopen developed a style of their own, inspired on the colourful East-Indian fabrics that were brought to the Netherlands by the Dutch East Indian Company. The Hindeloopen painters combined the magnificent Indian display of colours with floral and bird-like patterns, which proved very successful.
Folding ('Flap') table, chair and rug , Christien Meindertsma and Studio Roosje Hindeloopen , 2011
In 2011 the traditional Hindeloopen furniture inspired designer Christien Meindertsma to make her 'Oak inside' series. She lay iron objects on the top of this oaken table. As iron extracts the natural tannin from wood, the result was that the objects left a permanent 'print' on the table top.
P.s. for those who like to be virtually immersed in authentic Hindeloopen painted art: make sure to take a look in the Museum's Hindeloopen Room.

1. AXIOM LIGHT COVES | Armstrong Ceiling & Wall Systems
Light coves can be difficult to create because the light and pocket are rarely designed to work in unison. As a result, light performance can be less than satisfactory. Axiom Direct and Indirect Light Coves integrate Armstrong's acoustical and drywall suspension systems with lighting fixtures from four lighting partners. Axiom Direct coves install with integrated Leno light fixtures from XAL Lighting. Axiom Indirect installs with light fixtures from Axis Lighting, Litecontrol, or Vode Lighting.
2. NEDLAW LIVING WALL BIOFILTER | Nedlaw Living Walls
With the help of the Nedlaw Living Wall Bio lter, the city hall in Cambridge, Ont., became the rst such building in Canada to earn LEED Gold. The 1,184-sf living wall recirculates fresh air throughout the 85,000-sf building by drawing air through its plant roots. Microbes at the roots consume airborne contaminants, providing air that is as clean as outdoor air. When integrated with the building's HVAC system, the biofilter reduces heating/cooling energy costs and maintains a relative humidity of 40-50%.
3. TERRAMAI RECLAIMED WOOD | TerraMai
When the Hangar One facility at Silicon Valley's Moffett Federal Airfield was being renovated, requiring the removal of old-growth redwood from the facility, reclaimed wood expert TerraMai secured the entire lot of material for future projects. The hangar, built in the 1930s, served as an air reconnaissance base during the Cold War and later as the private jet hangar for the founders of Google. Today, wood from the hangar can be found in numerous facilities in the HNTB-designed San Francisco 49ers' Levi's Stadium. The reclaimed redwood was applied as paneling, cabinetry, and cladding throughout the 69,000-seat stadium's suites and luxury boxes.

WHS Theater Excited About Bringing Cinderella To Life On Stage In April
WHS Lions Pride Original Story:
With the arrival of second semester, the Walkersville High School Drama Department is preparing for the Spring production of Cinderella.
Theatre/English teacher and director of the play Heather McFadden said, "This year, my student designers are in my theatre classes, so we have concentrated time to research and design our set and really push the unexpected. It is hard to think of how we could top the wow factor of Mary Poppins with the flying, but we're hoping to create a very magical experience for our Cinderella audience."
McFadden stated, "This show is special to me because it was the first musical I ever directed, ten years ago, and it was the first show Ms. Martin, our vocal instructor, and I worked on together. We've both learned so much in the past ten years and we're eager to apply all that knowledge and confidence in this production!"
"We have another large cast, so we're thinking of creative ways to engage everyone in the cast and bring the classic tale to life in an unexpected, seemingly 'impossible' way. But as the Fairy Godmother concedes, 'Impossible things are happening every day!'" added McFadden.
Senior and Stage Manager Skylar Boyer said, "Expect something magical!"
"I am Grace who is one of the step sisters. This is very different from other productions for me mostly because I'm not normally the evil one, and over all Ms. McFadden has a lot of tricks up her sleeve that are going to take the show to another level. Everyone should expect to be swept away into the storyline and truly feel that they're at the Prince's ball themselves," said junior Erin Kopit.
Sophomore Erika Long will be playing the lead role as Cinderella. She commented, "This is my first lead so it has so far been very different from other productions I have done. You should expect a slight twist on the classic fairytale we all know and love but it's one that you shouldn't miss!"
Cinderella will be showing on April 19th-22nd, and the 26th-29th.

\\ Jobs - Band //
Since forming in 2008, JOBS has quickly established itself as one of the most exciting new forces within the thriving experimental music scene in Brooklyn. Comprised of drummer Max Jaffe, bassist Rob Lundberg, and guitarist Dave Scanlon, the group (formerly known as Killer Bob) has set itself apart with its charged performances - dripping with intensity and wild spontaneity. The band's newest release "killer Bob sings" showcases the band's influences by way of their virtuosity; integrating blasts of industrial noise with mechanically precise rhythms and pop structures. Vocals lay over ominously precise guitar work and percussive textures that range from the unhealthily organic to the speechlessly robotic.

Founded in 2015 by members of As In We, Future Scars boasts a lineup of dedicated musicians seasoned with nearly a decade of cooperative experience. Emotionally rooted in the contemplative, melodic atmosphere of post-rock, Future Scars expands beyond a singular genre's expectations. Laced with technicality and a prowess of control, Future Scars constructs a sound balanced in adversity, embodying the coexistence of the the calm and calamity of waking life.

Understanding South Carolina's Implied Consent law
Under South Carolina's Implied Consent law, drivers automatically agree to take a blood, breath or urine test if suspected of intoxicated driving.
In South Carolina and throughout the rest of the country, it is illegal for drivers to operate a vehicle with a blood alcohol content level at or above 0.08, states the Governors Highway Safety Association. Drivers found driving with a BAC level that exceeds this legal limit may be charged with DUI.
When a driver is suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol, the law enforcement official who oversees the arrest may require the driver to take a blood, breath or urine test to determine if he or she is actually intoxicated. Under South Carolina's Implied Consent law, drivers in the state automatically agree to take one of these tests if requested to do so by a law enforcement official, states the South Carolina Legislature.
The Testing Process
According to the South Carolina Legislature, when a law enforcement official suspects that a driver's blood alcohol level exceeds the legal limit of 0.08, he or she must first offer a breath test to the intoxicated driver to determine his or her BAC level. However, a blood sample can be taken instead of a breath test if the allegedly intoxicated driver:
Has an injured mouth
Is unconscious or dead
Is unable to take the breath test for any other reason deemed acceptable by medical personnel
A law enforcement official can request a urine test if he or she suspects that the driver is under the influence of another substance besides alcohol or is under the influence of a combination of alcohol and drugs. Additionally, a law enforcement official must administer a breath test within two hours of the arrest and within three hours for any additional tests.
Refusing a test
Drivers suspected of operating a vehicle intoxicated do not have to take a breath test or any other tests requested by a law enforcement official. However, the South Carolina Legislature states that drivers who refuse to take a breath, blood or urine test will have their driving privileges suspended for a period of at least six months. Additionally, this refusal can be used as evidence against suspected drunk drivers in court.
Drivers who choose not to take a breath, blood or urine test also have the right to request an administrative hearing within 30 days after they receive notice that their license will be suspended. However, drivers who decide not to participate in a hearing or drivers who have their license suspension upheld at the hearing must enroll in an Alcohol and Drug Safety Action Program.
Contact an attorney
Drivers in South Carolina charged with DUI who refused a chemical test may be concerned about how their future will be affected by this offense. If you were pulled over for drinking and driving, speak with an attorney to find out what your legal rights are.

Roughly one in five gay and bisexual men in 21 U.S. cities is HIV positive—and nearly half don't even know it, according to a study of 8,153 men presented by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and reported by Reuters. Black men and men of low socio-economic status are most likely to be infected, while young men—especially young black men—are less likely to know that they're infected. The CDC recommends that men who have sex with men get tested for HIV each year, and that those who have multiple partners or who use drugs during sex get tested every three to six months.

I had this idea a few weeks ago, but I didn't get to it. Please forgive the untimeliness of this post in our 24 second news cycle world…
Recently, the world ended when The Arcade Fire (or is the band called The Suburbs?) won a Grammy over several more popular, but less good artists. The world ended because the Grammys have long been a hackneyed awards show that caters to people who listen to top 40 radio and think popular and good are the same thing. The results are generally comical if you pay any attention to music, but I'm not going to go into that right now. Instead, I thought it might be more fun to look at what would happen if other types of media were subjected to the same "rigorous" selection process the Grammys normally utilize.
The Award: Best Picture
The Criteria: Nominees are the five highest grossing movies of the previous year. The voters will be looking for broad appeal (men and women have to be interested). Also, we want teenagers tuning in, so nothing too old and stodgy and nothing too childish.
1. Toy Story 3
2. Alice in Wonderland
3. Iron Man 2
4. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
5. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1
Analysis: Toy Story was nominated as it was, but I don't think it's the winner here. It is, at least ostensibly, a children's movie and thus isn't cool enough to win best picture. Alice in Wonderland is for those weird emo kids or something, so it can't win. Iron Man 2 has no appeal to the ladies and Twilight has nothing for the boys, so congratulations Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, you are the best picture of 2010.
1. Avatar
2. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
3. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
4. The Twilight Saga: New Moon
5. Up
Analysis: This is pretty similar to 2010. A kid's movie (nope). Something for the boys and the ladies (nope and nope again) and a Harry Potter movie, but this time, Harry has some competition. He is trumped by the SUPER AWESOME (pay no attention to the terrible writing/story) Avatar which, because its special effects are out of this world, is clearly the best picture of 2009.
Other Years in Brief: 2008: 1. The Dark Knight, 2. Iron Man, 3. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, 4. Hancock, 5. Wall-E. The Winner: It's all about the nocturnal flying rodent. Some people misguidedly though this should have won the real award.
2007: 1. Spider-Man 3, 2. Shrek the Third, 3. Transformers, 4. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, 5. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The Winner: Have to go with Harry again. His broad appeal is enough to overcome the mess that was Spider-Man 3.
2006: 1. Pirates of the Carribbean: Dead Man's Chest, 2. Night at the Museum, 3. Cars, 4. X-Men: The Last Stand, 5. The Da Vinci Code. The Winner: This is a very tight, very respectable field. Lots of broad appeal here and the vote is going to be pretty split. When all else fails, go with what's most popular. Congratulations buccaneers.
The Award: The Pulitzer Prize for Fiction
The Criteria: The five best selling books of the year are up for the award. Voters care less about broad appeal (all real men know it's uncool to read) than about making sure the book isn't too hoity-toity.Also, no pictures or little kid's stuff. This is a serious literary award, after all.
2010 (I had trouble finding a definitive best seller list, this is the best I could come up with)
1. The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson
2. Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
3. Dead in the Family by Charlene Harris
4. The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner by Stephanie Meyer
5. The Help by Cathryn Stockett
Analysis: This one is easy. It's all about Larsson. He's all dark and creepy or something. And people get to think they're reading high literature without actually be challenged.
Okay, okay. Stop, I can't go on. Comprehensive best seller lists are hard to find and I just saw one claiming Stephanie Meyer had the top 4 spots in 2009 and 2008. Before that, it's all Harry Potter. I am so glad everything isn't run like the Grammys.
But Not the Armadillo (The Hippopotamus in Winter)
November 5, 2010
Before reading this post, you should at least be passingly familiar with this children's book.
It was all fun all the time when the Hippopotamus ran off with the other animals. The Armadillo tried to warn her. He wasn't like her. She was a tropical animal, but his range overlapped with these temperate beasts. He knew the tyranny of seasons. But she would not listen, and so off she went on her run. She imagined that this would be the start of many glorious friendships. Look at how close they all were, the Moose and the Goose, the Bear and the Hare, the Cat and the Rats, and, of course, the Hog and the Frog.
The Cat and the Rats were the first. Only ever running pals, and not especially close ones, it happened very quickly. It was before the weather even turned. That Cat hadn't been fed and worked up such an appetite on the jog. Suddenly, the Rats looked delectable. True, they weren't tuna, which was her favorite, but they were plump and juicy. They never saw it coming. The Hippopotamus was shocked and disgusted. But not the Armadillo.
The Hog and the Frog were next. There was a chill in the air and the foraging wasn't as good. The Hog was depending more on slop. You can't blame a frog for mistaking slop for a bog. It was an accident, but by the time the Hog realized what she was eating, it was too late. The Hippotamus offered consolation. But not the Armadillo.
Winter came in hard and the Bear had spent too much time running. He was too thin and not at all ready for hibernation. Under pressure, bears will eat anything. The Hare was a friend, but what was friendship with winter coming? A few millimeters of fat meant more. The Hippopotamus was becoming distraught. But not the Armadillo.
The Moose and the Goose took the longest. The Armadillo had known they would be last as neither could easily eat the other one, but it was only a matter of time. The Moose was a homebody, but come winter, the Goose wanted to travel. It wasn't long until a smooth-talking, fast-moving Gander came along talking about migration and the unnatural inter-species love affair ended. The Hippopotamus was positively beside herself. But not the Armadillo.
The Bear wasn't finished. Winter passed and the Hippopotamus sobbed. A thaw came and the Bear pulled himself out of his den. He was famished and there were the Cat and the Hog and the Moose. It was quite the buffet. The Armadillo reminded her that she should have known. He had told her that seasons wreak havoc on these temperate animals. That she didn't understand. It wasn't the same as the dry and wet seasons she knew. The Hippopotamus didn't want to hear it any more. She snapped her giant jaws at him and lumbered back home.
The Armadillo didn't have to wonder about staying or going. He curled into a ball and rolled on down the road. But yes, the Armadillo.

I'm not one to usually toot my horn and say I'm amazing at any certain skill.
I'm not particularly great at anything. I'm pretty good at a lot of things, but not great.
Photography is a thing that has been in my life for years, but more because 3 of my boyfriends were interested in photography before it even crossed my mind to pick up a camera. I always wondered why on earth they would bother. I didn't really understand the point, but more so, I never really thought I could be good at it.
And even 3 years after I picked up a camera, I actually thought I was completely rubbish...until very, very recently. I caught myself looking at my portfolio in admiration. Beautiful images sharing a story, curated beautifully and images complimenting each other.
And it feels weird to say at this point in time I actually really love my photos. But it's also a relief, because if you're a creator you completely understand the painful thought process of always thinking your work is dirt and you're worthless.
So to have glimpses of light in those dark thoughts is a massive weight off the shoulders...for 5 minutes...until all those dark thoughts return.
But I thought since I'm feeling quite great about my photography right now, it would be quite joyous to show you my initial travel photographs, so for yourself you can see the progress.
Let's strap in...I present to you:

Things haven't gone so smoothly for the Teen Titans these last few months. First, Robin kicked Kid Flash off the team when he discovered Wally West was secretly working alongside the hitman Deathstroke. Then there was the whole business with the Batman Who Laugh's evil horde from the Dark Multiverse invading Gotham and possessing the Teen Titans in the "Gotham Resistance" tie-ins for Dark Nights: Metal.
The team looks to improve its fortunes in Teen Titans #13, mainly by picking up the unresolved story thread involving Kid Flash. Robin may have been the one to form the Teen Titans and fire Wally West, but it doesn't mean the rest of the team agreed with his choice. But while Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy and Aqualad travel to Central City to bring Kid Flash back into the fold, Robin goes on a recruiting visit to Star City to offer Emiko Queen -- the Red Arrow – membership to the Teen Titans.
RELATED: Teen Titans #12 Reveals Identity of Batman Who Laughs' Main Robin
Damian has done his homework on Emiko -- on the recommendation of Green Arrow, who Robin got to know during their Gotham Resistance adventure -- and feels she'd be a perfect addition to his team. In fact, you could say the two young heroes almost mirror one another when you factor in their family backgrounds and upbringings.
A large portion of comic book fans are already familiar with Damian's origin story: He's the son of Batman and Talia al Ghul, which also makes Damian the grandson of Batman villain Ra's al Ghul. He was kept hidden from Batman and trained by the League of Assassins until Talia basically dropped Damian off on Batman's doorstep. Batman and Damian had a few rough patches in the beginning, trying to make up for lost time while dealing with a fundamental difference in philosophies; the League of Assassins trained Damian to kill, which didn't mix well with Batman's "no kill" policy.
Damian would go on to adopt the mantle of Robin and fight side-by-side with his father, where they eventually grew closer. Since then, the new Boy Wonder's rough exterior has slowly dissipated to reveal a softer, caring side -- though he'll never be mistaken for an angel.
In many ways, Emiko had the same childhood as Damian. She's the daughter of Robert Queen (Green Arrow's father) and the ninja Shado. Just like with Batman, Robert had no idea Emiko existed, which lead to her being raised by the Green Arrow nemesis Komodo. This is why Emiko initially showed allegiance to Komodo until she learned the truth behind her parentage. Now, Emiko fights on the side of good with her half-brother and the rest of Team Arrow under the codename Red Arrow.
Emiko may have chosen the guise of Red Arrow, but it hasn't granted her the respect of being called that by her big brother. Teen Titans #13 has Team Arrow on a stakeout to stop Onomatopoeia from detonating a ferry carrying a truck full of explosives. While Emiko boards the ship and is able to apprehend the villain, the clock's still ticking on those explosives. So Emiko jumps behind the wheel and drives the truck into the ocean, knocking herself out in the process. Thankfully, Damian and his pet bat Goliath swoop in for the save.
This is when Damian delivers his best sales pitch for why he wants Emiko to join the Teen Titans, reciting many of their shared commonalities. Aside from having evil parents, they both have superior intellects and are thus far more powerful than most meta-humans. They didn't let their upbringings define them; in the end, Damian and Emiko choose good over evil.
Damian talks a good game, but it's hard to prop up a team that's touted as "tomorrow's Justice League" when you don't bring said team with you on a recruiting visit. Emiko's smart, and she points this out to Damian when she rejects his offer. In her eyes, why should she join the "junior varsity" when she's already a member of Team Arrow beside adults in Green Arrow, Black Canary, and Arsenal? Emiko summarizes her feelings bluntly when she tells Damian, "And it's not me – it's definitely you."
RELATED: TV Legends: What Arrow Villain Was Going to be Onomatopoeia?
Damian doesn't get a chance at a rebuttal, however, because Onomatopoeia got away. His parting gift was a message that revealed he didn't want to blow up the ferry; his real objective was to drown Star City in a massive tidal wave. Our two young heroes (and Goliath) are left to figure out a way to stop the wall of water before it makes landfall in the next issue, which should open an opportunity for them to see how well they work together. The result has the possibility of inching Emiko ever closer to fully joining the Teen Titans.

NATIVE Week No. 20
Loving this zero waste approach to fall decor and Halloween.
I've been feeling an even deeper connection and compassion towards animals than before.
