"Is your refrigerator running? You'd better go catch it!" Corny jokes aside, refrigerators these days do a whole lot more than "run." More likely than not, your daily routine involves some kind of smart device: a smartphone, smart TV, smart home security system, you name it! Now, even your refrigerator can be "smart." The question is – do you actually need a fancy refrigerator?
Before revealing Neighborly's take on this question, take a look at some of the newest features high-end refrigerators have to offer:
You may have one or two features in mind that you can envision in your own kitchen. Did you know that in addition to these features, there are actual "smart" refrigerators on the market with their own "smart" features? Here's a rundown on one brand's smart refrigerator:
"It's more than a fridge – it's a family hub." Like a smart phone or smart TV, Samsung's FamilyHub appliance integrates your existing technology to help you live your smartest life. Check out just a few of the "smart" features, common among most smart refrigerator models:
The Neighborly verdict? While fancy refrigerators boast state-of-the-art features and an obvious "cool" factor, they probably aren't a necessity. At the end of the day, these features come with a price tag, and it's ultimately your decision as to which features you feel are worth forking over the cash.

Residents of the Town of Hague will benefit from joint federal and provincial funding to upgrade the Town's water distribution system. Kelly Block, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Natural Resources and Member of Parliament for Saskatoon-Rosetown-Biggar, on behalf of Michelle Rempel, Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification, and Central Services Minister and MLA for Martensville Nancy Heppner, on behalf of Government Relations Minister Jim Reiter, today joined Mayor Patricia Wagner to announce funding for the project.
"Our government is committed to helping communities meet their infrastructure needs so that they can continue to grow and thrive," said Block. "With today's announcement, we are demonstrating this commitment and helping to create jobs and growth, while improving the reliability of the water distribution system in the Town of Hague."
"Saskatchewan continues growing, which creates many new opportunities and it also creates many new challenges," Heppner said. "Our government is working hard to meet those challenges to ensure all Saskatchewan people share in the benefits of a growing economy by funding important infrastructure projects such as this one."
"The Town of Hague is extremely pleased to receive this funding," Wagner said. "Our community is developing and with growth brings the requirement to upgrade our infrastructure. The financial support from the government will help ensure our water system meets the needs of our growing community."
The Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan are each investing $239,741 in the project, while the Town will contribute the balance of the eligible project costs, which totals $719,225.
The expansion of the water reservoir and upgrades to the electrical system and backup generator will improve the reliability and efficiency of the water treatment facility and water distribution system in the community. The project will also increase the supply of water for fire fighting. The project is conditionally approved pending an environmental review.
Under the Communities Component of the Building Canada Fund, the Government of Canada has invested in hundreds of important projects across the West with matching contributions from the western provinces. Thousands of Saskatchewan residents are now enjoying the benefits of this significant investment to Canada and Saskatchewan's public infrastructure. Since 2007, the Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan have invested in almost 150 projects for a shared total investment of $210 million under the Building Canada Fund – Communities Component.

Bernard Addison Sentenced To 46 Months In Prison For Conspiring To Counterfeit Us Postal Service Money Orders
Addison Possessed $2.5 Million Worth Of Counterfeit Money Orders
KNOXVILLE, Tenn.-- Bernard Addison, 62, of Knoxville, Tenn., was sentenced to serve 46 months in federal prison by the Honorable Thomas W. Phillips, U.S. District Judge. Upon his release from prison, Addison will be supervised by the U.S. Probation Office for a period of two years.
The sentence was the result of a guilty plea June 8, 2012, to a federal grand jury indictment charging Addison with conspiring to counterfeit U.S. Postal Service money orders. Addison, formerly a local radio personality, had been receiving counterfeit money orders from the country of Ghana for several months and was filling out the payee information on the bogus money orders and redistributing them to others. He received a weekly MoneyGram payment of $250.00 for his involvement in the scheme.
The indictment and subsequent conviction of Addison was the result of an investigation conducted by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and U.S. Secret Service. Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Morris represented the United States.

Palm Beach Fest Offers A Few Surprise Finds
by Brandon Judell
What bad things can you say about a festival with the goal of raising money for local film students? This year the future helmers of Palm Beach, Florida, were awarded $100,000 from the proceeds of last year's cash surplus of the eighth annual Palm Beach International Film Festival, whose audience outnumbered last year's event.
And how can you downplay a fest's success when its gala is star-studded with the likes of Michael Jackson, Chris Tucker, Robert Evans, Adrien Brody (invited before his big Oscar win), Fay Wray, Carol Alt, and Brett Ratner — plus rich folk willing to fork over a $1,000 a plate to hobnob with stars and other rich folks?
Graciously, some of these celebrities actually spoke to the attendees. Mr. Brody, who was saluted as the Palm Beach fest's outstanding performer of the year, noted with grace about "The Pianist": "Playing an individual who undergoes that much in a time of war makes you really consider a lot about what happens to innocent people in times of war. It also makes you very aware of how good we have it here in America, and how good young people have it here in America, and how much freedom we have here." (Wild applause.)
"Freedom to practice whatever religion we feel. Freedom to say just about whatever we wish to say without being beheaded. 'The Pianist' made me consider all those things, and those are all things that we should acknowledge. Also, whatever our feelings are about where we are with this war, we have to acknowledge that we have servicemen that are out there risking there lives, losing their lives to defend us and what our country stands for." (Cheers. Outrageous applause.)
Mr. Ratner, a board member of the festival and director of "Rush Hour" and its sequel, before he awarded Robert Evans a lifetime achievement award, gushed that Chris Tucker was "the most talented actor I've ever worked with." (So much for Anthony Hopkins.) He also gave "a very special shout out to someone who is a role model and a hero to everybody I've ever met in the world. This guy inspires me every single day and in every single moment that I'm with him," none other than Michael Jackson. Ratner also went so far as to call MJ "one of the best fathers I've ever met in my life."
But this festival was about more than galas and stars. Yes, it's about what's on the screens. Luckily for young filmmakers everywhere, the new executive director of the festival, the extremely nice Randi Emerman, chose her films mainly from the 400 submissions she received. Speaking to me at the dispiriting pool area at the Gulf Stream Hotel, the festival HQ that had its heyday possibly in the '40s, Ms. Emerman was upbeat. "This hotel is wonderful. We basically get to take it over," she said. "We want everybody to feel welcomed and to come here and have a good time, and to get to know us, and for us get to know them. I want everyone to feel that coming here is almost like coming to camp, so to speak." (It was an overly spread-out camp, with the three main venues separated by an extreme 47 miles).
Unlike other programmers, Emerman doesn't attend other festivals in an effort to keep her expenses low. Going to Cannes or Toronto would have to be deducted from the scholarship money given out each year. Consequently, films you might never see anywhere else were spotlighted here.
Yes, truly mediocre shorts such as Russell Costanzo's "The Wedding Bout," Andy Rovins's "Discovery," John C. Cronin and Rob Thomas' "Salaryman," Elizabeth Lucas's "Isabella Rico," and the truly painful "Killing Pedro Rivera" (which nevertheless won the audience prize for best short) were able to be viewed on the big screen. There were also distasteful features that could cure every insomniac-in-town's sleeplessness: Eric Perlmutter's "Season of Youth," Anthony Nichols' "The Egoists," Helen Lesnick's "A Family Affair," and Adrian Carr's cringeworthy TV-movie "Mind Games."
But to be fair, there might be a reason behind a wig looking horrendous in a film, the cast seeming amateurish, and the direction nonexistent. The creative talent behind "Mind Games" informed me "we shot in actually 17 days. The second day of shooting was September 11, 2001. So as we were filming the planes were crashing into the World Trade Center, and really the crew and the cast held together. We didn't stop filming because if we had we would never finished the picture." I kept my lips sealed.
But there were also some surprise finds among the calamities and the better-known works ("My Big Fat Greek Wedding," — which played to 700 people outdoors — "The Pianist," "The Good Thief," "Confidence," and "Marathon Man").
Among the shorts, Arie Posin's 15-minute "Over My Dead Body" was truly hilarious. Here, after a young man's one-nighter overdoses on Viagra, he shoves her body under the bed so his current galpal, a female cop, won't discover the corpse. Immediately, while he protests, the copper handcuffs him to the bed posts for some hot passion. Shortly, his gay male lover and canine will get into the act. Beautifully realized, this one has immense feature potential.
Jason Koffeman's "Polaroid" was also a first-class debut. Sort of a vicious guide for 19-year-olds who want to seduce older women, everything from the lighting to the screenplay was exemplary. Kofferman revealed, at the screening that turned out to be populated by mainly his family members, that "I'm the writer/director/producer. A couple of other things as well. It's my first project of this magnitude. It's 15 minutes, 35mm. I spent every dime I have on it. I'm from New York. I go to NYU." But if the gods are wise, he'll be residing in Hollywood quite soon.
As for what might turn out to be one of the best documentaries of the year, Rick McKay's "Broadway: The Golden Age, By the Legends Who Were There" is a must-see if you adore theater, New York, and actors. More than 100 stars get to let loose on the Great White Way including Shirley MacLaine, Carol Burnett, Jeremy Irons, Mimi Hines, Alec Baldwin, Edie Adams, Martin Landau, Frank Langella, Eli Wallach, and Wendy Wasserstein. This film was absolutely stirring, and other festgoers liked it as much as I did, awarding it the documentary audience favorite award.
Among the features, three were especially of note. "The Annihilation of Fish," Charles Burnett's chronicle of crazies in love, stars James Earl Jones, Lynn Redgrave (who claimed the fest's best actress award), and Margot Kidder. This might just become a cult film for midnight romantics. Amy Hobby, the producer of "Secretary" and "Nadja," makes a fine directorial debut with "Coney Island Baby," a romantic comedy about the working class in Ireland. Winning performances and daffy incidents make this one a pleaser. Finally, there's Peter Callahan's "Last Ball," a semi-autobiographical drama about a high school grad who drives a taxi in a small New York town. All his friends are leaving him behind to fulfill their dreams, but Jim has no dream. Charlie Hofheimer gives a charismatic performance as a guy with little charisma or purpose. "Last Ball" is definitely a great calling card for all involved.
As for the festival itself, Callahan shared: "They invited me down to show 'Last Ball,' and I'm happy to show it anywhere. It's basically keeping the film out there…getting it out there. You never know what's going to happen or who's going to see it."

Euro 6 and the future of the fleet industry
The last few months have seen some hesitation from the UK's commercial vehicle industry to discuss EU regulations, particularly when it concerns one of the most seismic shifts to hit the sector in years.
For the commercial vehicle sector, the radio silence surrounding incoming Euro 6 legislation could see a number of operators left unprepared at a time when the discussion is particularly pertinent, which is why we need to talk about how we step up our offer.
Euro 6 was introduced to target a host of vehicle emissions, with emphasis on limiting nitrogen oxides (NOx) from 180mg/km to just 80mg/km. This has encouraged new options such as reduced compression radio, vehicle weight reduction, and replacing oxidation catalytic converters with the after-treatment systems AdBlue.
For some of us in the industry, this led to a stockpiling of Euro 5 vehicles for our customer base, as we anticipated the full force of the new changes. Now, with Plan A established, we must look at innovative approaches to implementing the new rules so that we can assure best practice for our Euro 6 customers.
The highest priority for the fleet sector, in my view, should be educating fleet operators and customers alike about the use of after-treatment solutions such as AdBlue. An essential reductant for use in Euro 6 vehicles, AdBlue could be the difference between your vehicle being on the road and being left adrift.
This is because the use and display of AdBlue varies from vehicle to vehicle: many do not include level gauges to warn drivers when the level is dipping, and some slow to a complete halt if the fluid runs out. The display can also vary between models, making preparation absolutely vital before your vans hit the road.
The capacity to deal with the potential challenges of Euro 6 are what could separate the more ambitious fleet operators from their hesitant counterparts. Commercial vehicle rental providers ought to now be thinking ahead, providing AdBlue with the vehicles, and taking a conscientious approach to instructing customers about its use, whether this is in the form of handbooks or in-vehicle first aid kits.
This initiative would not have to indicate spiralling costs for manufacturers or fleet operators – for example Dawsonrentals | vans charges customers only when the AdBlue is used, as you would with any other noticeable changes to the vehicle's original condition – and it benefits the business by instilling a sense of trust in clients and regulators alike.
While it will likely be a rocky few months for Britain and its European partners, the effect of emissions will remain a vital environmental and political issue. In order to successfully evolve in line with the industry, fleet businesses must be prepared to utilise the options available to them, ensuring that customers receive the correct support to run clean, smart vehicles for years to come.

Santi Cazorla was outrageous on Sunday. There's a reason he's my favourite player, and that's not entirely down to his general teddy bear-ness and his India connection. Sprint speed and aerial ability aside, this guy has everything. He can pass, he can shoot, he's ambidextrous, versatile, tricky and robust. It's worth mentioning that he started all of Arsenal's Premier League games two seasons ago yet never got injured. He may give out an Arshavin-esque feel, but he's far ahead than the Russian in terms of workrate. Give him pace and he turns into a more effective Alexis Sanchez.
His form has come at a very inconvenient time for a certain wide-eyed German. Mesut Ozil was, in my opinion, wrongly criticized for his performances leading up to his injury. He was poor against Manchester City and Dortmund, yes, but followed that up with three very good performances against Aston Villa, Galatasaray and Tottenham. Against Chelsea he was poor, but people seem to overlook that he was injured during most of that match. Wenger overplayed his hand with Ozil's knee injury and lost.
Ozil may be on the verge of producing big things for Arsenal, but are we sure that we are willing to sacrifice Santi Cazorla for that? I know I've just come to Ozil's defence and all that, but I'm very much of the opinion that when on top form, Cazorla offers more than Ozil in that attacking midfield position. Ozil is, merely, a marginally better passer and has superior ball retention to Cazorla.
Santi, however, offers goals, tracking back, unpredictability (with both of his feet) and proper versatility. He won't stink the place out as much as Ozil does when they're deployed on the left. And I know that Ozil is a bona fide world-class player and has excellent movement and is rated highly by just about any footballing personality in the know, but that doesn't hide the fact that Cazorla has done nothing to merit a dropping from the squad.
It's mooted that Ozil will get the nod in the weekend's FA Cup clash against Brighton away, but that's not a match which would speak volumes of Ozil's ability lest he performs. With all possible respect to Brighton, Ozil would have to perform on much higher stages to prove his mettle to make it in the Premier League. A convincing performance against Brighton would only half-convince me.
Even so, it would be nice to see if Mesut has learned anything new since his time out. Footballers tend to analyze their game during a lengthy injury layoff and assess their flaws. Olivier Giroud did something of the sort and came out a lot stronger, using his physicality and scoring important goals against important teams.
What I especially liked about Ozil bulking up was that it showcased a certain degree of commitment to making it at Arsenal. When he came into the club, for the first season or so I got the impression that he didn't care much about the successes and failures of Arsenal Football Club. Hell, that may still be the case, for Shad Forsythe and Arsene Wenger may have forced him to build his muscularity. However, I'd be surprised if that was the truth.
Clearly Mesut Ozil is the long-term option in the No. 10 role. Even a player as energetic and buzzing like Tomas Rosicky must be thinking about his retirement plans sometime soon, and Cazorla has reached that dreaded age-30 phase. However, if we want to attain maximized outputs from Ozil, we need to "stick him in there more often", so to say. How could we do that and not displace the mercurial Santi Cazorla?
The only possible solution, to my mind, is shifting Cazorla's position. Footballers tend to experiment in deeper positions in order to prolong the twilight of their careers. Steven Gerrard went from attacking midfielder to defensive midfielder. Wayne Rooney, once a lone striker, is now seen pumping lobs from the centre of the park. Two of hundreds of examples.
I don't reckon shifting Cazorla to a central midfield position, alongside a defensive midfielder is a bad idea by any stretch. It's a point to note that when Arsenal's central midfield crisis was ongoing, Rosicky and Cazorla were asked to play in that role periodically. It turned out to be an enforced masterpiece, so to say, because Santi in particular truly impressed me in that role.
I am of the opinion that we can get something out of Cazorla in that deep-lying playmaker role. Ramsey is having his ups and downs and Wilshere is perennially injured, so what's the harm in trying? Cazorla has already proven his willingness and adeptness at dropping deep to win the ball back. In addition, this also allows Mesut Ozil room in his preferred No. 10 role to spray passes to Sanchez and Walcott and give us all orgasms.
When Ozil first came to Arsenal, plenty couldn't wait to see how Cazorla and Mesut would link up. As it stood, having Ozil in the centre and Cazorla on the left yielded inconsistent results. Perhaps moving Santi Cazorla closer to the DM rather than away from it may bring more creativity and solidity to our defence.
Final note for today - Francis Coquelin. Look, I'm over the moon for the lad and really happy for the club as well as the player, but Coquelin isn't a specialist in his role by any stretch. In fact, the exaggerated praise that he's receiving is the result of Arsenal being used to not seeing a proper DM since the days of Gilberto Silva and Patrick Vieira. Coquelin is walking and talking proof that all Arsenal needed was a proper defensive midfielder, not the half-moulds of Alex Song, Mikel Arteta and Mathieu Flamini.
Obviously I would not be averse to handing Coquelin a new deal and would want him at the club, but if Arsenal really want to be like the Bayerns and the Barcelonas, they need to get in a defensive midfielder specialist in his position, like Morgan Schneiderlin. Francis has done a job and has probably proven that he can fill the gap until the summer comes. He's done a huge favour for Arsene. I hope he realizes that that favour has a rapidly approaching expiry date.

The former manager of actress Rose McGowan committed suicide on Wednesday. Her family claims the reason for the manager's actions is the fault of Rose McGowan and Harvey Weinstein. McGowan's former manager Jill Messick, was 50 years old at the time of her death. She represented the 'Charmed' actress in January 1997. During the time period Messick represented her, was at the
Sundance Film Festival', when McGowan claims Weinstein first raped her. After McGowan says she was raped by Weinstein, Messick was hired by Miramax.
McGowan wrote in her 'Brave' book that "Jill told me that this man wielded an incredible amount of power. I could sense it by the by the way she was breathlessly talking about him." McGowan said that after the 'attack' her manager offered her no help in the aftermath. McGowan wrote of that period, "During the immediate period afterward I couldn't stop crying. One of my calls was to my manager. It was so fu***d up, she counseled me, to see it as something that would help my career in the long run. I felt like I was in a fun house and all the mirrors were reflecting my horrors."
Messick's family released a lengthy statement, disputing many of McGowan's claims about Messick. The family claims that Messick held her tongue as her reputation and decades of hard work started to erode after McGowan's constant attacks in her book and in her media appearances. The family claims that at the time of 'Sundance Film Festival', Messick's job was to set up a meeting between Weinstein and her new client McGowan. Messick told her family that McGowan willingly disrobed and got into a hot tube with Weinstein. Messick claimed that when McGowan recounted what happened in the hot tube, she never once said the word 'rape'.

The obvious: If you are not using blends, medial consonants are not used in one syllable words. So, if I want a list of simple words that use a medial sound I'll need to use very simple two syllable words (CVCV, CVC, CVCVC).
The obscure: I completely forgot about a rather obscure sound. When a /t/ sound appears between two vowels in connected speech it is produced as a flap. When a /b/ sound appears between two vowels in connected speech it is often also produced as a flap. Say the following two sentences quickly and naturally.
- Look at the bike pedal.
- Look at the flower petal.
My conclusion: If you want to practice the /t/ sound, it is not useful to try to practice it in the medial position of a simple two-syllable word (bottle, button) because when those words are spoken in natural speech a flap is produced rather than a /t/. Once your child has mastered /t/ in the initial and final position of words it would be a better use of your time to practice it in connected speech with short phrases (on top).

You may have noticed already but I'm back on an ACEO kick! Over the past couple of days I have shared the new ACEO's that I have created and been asked about 5 different times "Whats an ACEO?" So I decided before I go any further with the new ones today I would take a moment to answer that question once and for all in case there is still anyone left out there wondering "what the heck is an ACEO?" lol To make this easy I just copied and pasted the web definition from Google as they tell it perfectly!
Artist trading cards (or ATCs) are miniature works of art about the same size as modern trading cards baseball cards, or 2 1⁄2 by 3 1⁄2 inches (64 mm × 89 mm), small enough to fit inside standard card-collector pockets, sleeves or sheets. The ATC movement developed out of the mail art movement and has its origins in Switzerland. Cards are produced in various media, including dry media (pencils, pens, markers, etc.), wet media (watercolor, acrylic paints, etc.), paper media (in the form of collage, papercuts, found objects, etc.) or even metals or fiber. The cards are usually traded or exchanged. When sold, they are usually referred to as art card editions and originals (ACEOs).
I have 3 to share with you today! First off is the WIP that I shared with you yesterday is now finished, it is #4 of my ACEO Dreams Series, mixed media on mixed media art paper. I have written a poem about this one which I will share here with you in a minute. I just also wanted to let you know that I did write poems about the last 2 that I created as well and not only are the poems written on the backs of the ACEO's but I also went back and added them into the blog posts and the Etsy listings so if you want to read them here are the links Dreams 2 and Dreams 3.

Some dreams are big
other ones are small
they can be short
or mighty tall
some times your dreams
you sleep right thru
other times your dreams
they do come true

I actually have 2 WIP to share with you today! The first one here is going to be an owl when it is finished and I am not sure if you can make out the sketch of the owl on top of the paint or not, I haven't started to paint the owl in quite yet.
So far I started with a piece of mixed media art paper cut to size. I collaged a bunch of small pieces of sheet music that would of otherwise been scrap as they were so small to the card first. I then added acrylic paint, I guess I over did it a bit with the paint as you cant see much of the sheet music at all now! lol I sketched the owl out on white tissue paper and applied it with gel medium to the surface and that is as far as I've gotten with this one so far.
This next one is going to be #5 of my Dreams Series and it is going to be another big eyed girl. So far with it I used a piece of mixed media art paper cut to size. I did something a little different with this one, something I never did before as I just had the idea last night. Im sure a lot of other artists out there already know and do the little technique using Tim Holtz distressed inks by applying the ink in a couple of colors to the Ranger craft mat and then adding water and placing your paper or in this case my ACEO in the water ink mixture then lifting it up to see what you got. Well in this case I did that with spun sugar and broken china distressed inks only instead of spritzing water on it I spritz Perfect Pearls mist in the perfect pearl color which is just translucent shimmering white. I am in love with the result!!!!! Well, you can see for yourself...
Ok, the pic above does not do it justice at all!!!!!! This card shimmers so beautifully and when you tilt in the light you get all these shimmering blues, grays and pinks through out the whole card, it is really something! So after I did that with the inks, I added the clouds and raindrops and a postal stamp but wish I hadn't done the postal stamp, its ok though because I will be painting the girl in and hopefully she is going to cover up most of it anyhow.
I should have these 2 WIP done by tomorrow to share with you! Thanks for looking and if you have any questions please feel free to leave them below and I will try to answer them the best I can!
Ciao for now! ♥

Reporting village issues online
Monday, December 11, 2017 at 4:30PM
There are a number of issues that Cheshire West and Chester are asking local communities and Parish Councils to report online to assist them in being more effective to respond to enquiries.
If you are concerned about an issue in the village related to highways, lighting, footpaths, street cleaning etc. if you could possibly report online at the CWaC website via this link it would be very helpful.

How Hard Can it Be?
We're not even in our airstream yet, and I'm constantly thinking about life after the airstream. You know, that time in our lives when we won't be traveling gypsies, moving from one parent's home to the next. A time when we won't be living in an airstream. A time where we'll be living in our newly constructed straw bale home. And yes, if you weren't already aware, we're building a house with straw bales. Not just straw bales. We're just using them as the in-fill for all of our external walls. They are actually extremely efficient, incredibly safe and sturdy, and no, they can't be blown down by the big bad wolf. But one thing they certainly do have a problem with is financing. Banks are terrified of them. No matter how much evidence is presented to a conventional mortgage lender about the benefits of building with straw bales (or any unconventional building technique), it's apparently pretty much impossible to get one financed with a traditional mortgage.
I get it. Rules are rules. And rules have become much more strict since the collapse in 2008. From what I understand, lenders are governed by federal lending regulations if they have any hope of reselling their mortgages on the secondary market. So comps are king. If there aren't any comps in the area that compare to the home you want to build, then it's a tough sell. They don't want any fishy loans for any weirdo houses that would stick out like a sore thumb in a big ol bucket of mortgages. I understand. That's fine. Better to play it safe than sorry. But what other options are there for perfectly qualified people to get funding for a home they can afford to build that makes perfect environmental and structural sense, yet it doesn't fit into the mold?
This is a question whose answer I hope to find quickly. If we indeed can't manage to pursue the traditional mortgage route, we will most-likely be pursuing what's called a portfolio loan, which is an in-house bank loan that stays with the bank. It's not re-sold on the secondary market. It's generally for a shorter term and a variable interest rate, but it's not subject to federal mortgage regulations. That all translates to higher interest interest and higher payments. We'll either pursue that, borrow from family, or rob a bank. Hahaha, just kidding. We would never borrow from family.
Like I said, we're not even in our airstream yet, and we're already ready to move into our non-existent house. We finally have a great set of floor plans with more detailed construction drawings on the way. We also are on the cusp of landing an incredible opportunity to get some great help with our construction process; something that has been a dream of mine for several years (fingers crossed)! But it's all for naught if we aren't able to find an affordable loan to make it happen. And soon. But banks are stubborn. These problems would all go away if banks would just quit being stubborn and write conventional mortgages for homes built outside the norm, or if we decided to scrap the whole straw bale thing and just build a traditional stick frame house.
But guess what. I'm a Taurus. Stefanie is Taurus. And we are as stubborn as they come.

In today's video I give my subscribers a tour of my Colorado property as well as discuss my experience "Creating My Own Vision."
It's important for all MGTOW's to have a vision for what they want (and don't want) in their lives and actively visualize that vision every single day.
Although you may not see progress daily, weekly or even monthly, you will be surprised how much of your vision comes true without even thinking about it.
This has been the key to my success – having a vision so close to my heart and actively working towards it daily that it would be impossible for it not to happen.
This property in Colorado is a manifestation of a vision I had on New Years Day 2016 of how I wanted to live 6 months in the mountains and 6 months on a beach in Cabo for the Winter.
Now I am one step closer to my Life Vision.
Future videos will go more in-depth into Creating Your Vision and how to achieve anything you visualize in your mind.
What is your vision for your MGTOW lifestyle?

A Tale Of Cyclists And Dope
As a cyclist and long time fan of the sport it's a fascinating morning. The Lance Armstrong saga finally played out yesterday when 11 of his former teammates came clean about their doping practices and the USADA traced more than a million dollars of payments from Armstrong to doping expert Dr. Michele Ferrari. The jig, as they say, is up.
I don't say shocked because most of us who've been around the sport for a long time knew what was going on. Tyler Hamilton's recently released book, which was supposed to blow the lid off the Armstrong era, only confirmed what many of us already knew to be true (though it had some outstanding anecdotes and is an excellent read). It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to figure something to be amiss when today's generation of cyclists, despite improved equipment and training protocols, is across the board 10% slower than they were a decade ago, especially when some of them are the same people.
I say fascinating because of the way it happened and to see the public react, as well as watching Armstrong and Bruyneel continue to play innocent when everyone around them is losing their head and blaming it on them. Can money really buy you out of everything? That part is still to be played out.
But as a cyclist it's nice to have a clean slate, and today we do. Long term it will help the sport, even if racing is a bit more boring (it was fun to watch Armstrong, Pantani et al charge up mountain passes like they were on motorcycles). Sure, there are still dopers, but racing is decidedly believable now and with the knowledge of physiologic human potential much better understood it's likely to stay that way, at least for a little while. The pressure on young cyclists to dope has been diminished.
I'll leave it at that, as further commentary starts to become off topic for most of my readers. Those of you looking for more should have a look at this. It's the full USADA v. Lance Armstrong report. 200-plus pages, which I have not had time to read but will someday. Apparently there are a thousand pages floating around somewhere but, looking at the ToC, this will satisfy even the most rabid fan's curiosity.

Almost done reading Hamilton's book. Truly a sad story. I don't really have any desire to watch pro cycling anymore. Frankly, all pro sports are suspect.
I disagree that the pressure on young cyclists to dope has been diminished. I just think the methods have changed.
Nous son dopers!
- Steve Edwards said...
I wish there was somewhere I could have bet the "nous son dopers" would be in the first comment. Damn!
Pressure to dope is still there but it's harder. We know wattage per kilo that can be sustained. We will have lab tests showing when and how it can be increased. So that cannot change very much without substantiation. This means that you can't dope to improve your out right performance but will have to search for ways to, say, increase pain tolerance or mental focus. Hmmm. New school of dope perhaps, but not so cowboy and much harder to not get caught at.
- Steve Edwards said...
and I will continue to be a fan. In this respect, I'm a sap!
Okay, so here's my question about wattage etc. HOW are we so damn sure about "human potential?" By that I mean what role does mind over matter play, how much of performance, especially like in a bike race (v. say, powerlifting where physics really seems to have more of a say), is about what we think we can do. I see kids out there, who really can't climb as well as me, doing v10 after a few months of climbing. I can't even touch that difficulty anymore but for them it's just what people climb. So their sense of possible is different and they simply perform differently.
I actually am looking forward to the new performance frontier as athletes get a little more (less?)...mental?...about what they are capable of.
I mean, another great place for "superhuman" stories is in mountaineering. When up against death, the things people find themselves capable of are truly extraordinary. When does this power get brought into sports?
- Steve Edwards said...
We don't know where human potential can go but with all the measuring devices we know where it is now. Climbing is different in that it's so diverse--although some things are measured--whereas cycling is basically very simple and quantifiable. You can test any 5 year old and tell if they have genetic potential to be a bike racer and if they're better suited for the Tour or the track. The parameters are now known, and when they get pushed we'll know what's going on because everyone test. Shit, don't you have a wattage meter on your phone now? Everything has become quantifiable. A little boring but it's the world we created. Or you do still think Tyler had a vanishing twin and LA's body has a special ability unseen in all other humans not to react to lactic acid? Hmm, that reminds me that I've had "The Science of Lance Armstrong" saved on Netflix for over a decade. When's that thing coming out?
maybe we should make cycling (more of) a contact sport...or even allow the use of bats and knives...then it isn't simply who can maximize wattage per kilo or push their hematocrit to 49.99999%...but it would come down to who actually is the baddest ass.
Also remove race radios.
Also remove team cars.
Also remove teams.
Everyone for themselves.
Fuckin' A. That's something I'd watch,
Everybody cheats. I just didn't know it 'til now.
- Best Business Brands said...
This is underlined by the amount of cyclists caught using the substance. The greater ... Cheaters can also "micro dope" by staying under the fail limit, as an aid to ...
- David Kaiser said...
I'm not a cycling enthusiast but I hate to see this episode in any sport. Is there any truth that the top 20 professional cyclists ALL doped for the last 10 or so years and it so it was really a battle of the dopers?
- Steve Edwards said...
More than top 20 and more than 10 years. The last 5 years are probably the cleanest in the sport's history. But the EPO years, 1990 to 2006 and Operation Puerto, were the most effective. Since then times have been declining so at least it's less egregious.
Way back on this blog, maybe in '06, I posted a list of grand tour podium winners over the last 10 years and there were only a couple, Armstrong being one, who hadn't had a doping conviction.

From Cyber-Attacks to DevOps: Security Experts Cover Mix of Topics
From Cyber-Attacks to DevOps: Security Experts Cover Mix of Topics
By Sean Michael Kerner
Car Security in the Cross Hairs
Chris Valasek, director of vehicle security research at IOActive, discussed the potential attacks and risk that could affect modern vehicles.
Capture the Flag Comes to Toronto
In the exhibitor hall at SecTor 2014, there was a Capture the Flag contest, engaging participating teams with solving security challenges.
Lockpick Village Educates on Physical Security
SecTor isn't just about digital security; it also provided an opportunity for attendees to learn about physical security in the Lockpick Village.
The Elephant in the Room
Many of the world's leading security vendors were present, including Cisco, Symantec and Trustwave, among others. Security vendor eSentire brought out an inflatable elephant in its booth to signify the metaphorical "elephant in the room" that is the modern data security breach.
Playing Pac-Man, To Win a Pac-Man
The Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) is the manager of Canada's .ca Top Level Domain and also provides the D-Zone anycast Domain Name System (DNS) service for security. In its booth, CIRA had a Pac-Man arcade game with the high-score winners walking away with their own Pac-Man game controller.
Bringing Security to Organizations With DevOps
Securosis CEO and analyst Rich Mogull explained in a SecTor session why the emerging world of DevOps can radically remake how security is built into the software development and deployment process.
Hockey Puck Giveaway
While SecTor 2014 had the usual vendor giveways, including beer cozies and pens, there was also a Canadian slant, with Nuix giving away hockey pucks.

Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses have been on the rise in the United States. The key to protecting you and your family from ticks is professional tick control.
At Mosquito Squad, we utilize an effective blend of our barrier spray treatment and tick tubes to eliminate ticks before they can get to you. Our traditional mosquito control spray kills adult ticks on contact, while tick tubes are placed around your property to entice mice. Yes, we said mice.
Mosquito Squad controls ticks with tick tubes that rely on the natural nesting instincts of mice and deliver a tick controlling insecticide directly to its home. Tick tubes are made of biodegradable tubes with treated cotton inside. When placed in their environment, mice collect the cotton for bedding. Since most ticks get their first blood meals from mice, they are exposed to the treated cotton, effectively eliminating the ticks.
It's important to consult a professional, like Mosquito Squad, to determine the timing and quantity of tubes and placement.
* Tick control not offered in Michigan without a license.

Sometimes sucky things happen. It's a fact of life that can't be avoided. It doesn't necessarily help to whine about them, but it may help.
My phone died this weekend, or at least almost died ... enough for it to be rendered unusable for all practical purposes, and enough for me to be incommunicado for most of Saturday without realizing it. That's not such a big deal, except that it resulted in me missing something super cool - lunch, a guided tour of the Viking Ship House and dinner with, among others, James Randi. Yes, seriously. Instead I spent the day in a 300 year old basement. A basement full of chocolate, but still.
What's really annoying is that it was all my own fault, because first of all I should have switched over to my new phone ages ago, but didn't because of misplaced affection for an inanimate object, and if I had done so this would not have happened, and second, if I had tried to call one of my fellow podcasters instead of pootling around among the chocolate, I would have soon realized that something was amiss and that this was the reason why it had appeared that they had not called me. (My phone would not have worked, but we have a phone at Friends too, so.) In other words, I have only myself to blame, and of course that only makes it worse.
And what is totally annoying is that now I have lost I don't know how many people's phone numbers - the very thing I have always thought I would somehow guard myself against. Drat. Again, I have brought it upon myself. Some numbers survived, some I actually remember and some I have dug out from here and there ... but far from all, so if you have my number and you think I should have yours, please text me and include your name in the message. I need some help reconstructing my metaphorical phone book. Some of you may already have been contacted. :-)
Of course one misfortune doesn't come alone, so naturally we had to have a meeting with our new boss* at work this afternoon and it had to be seriously frustrating and ... well, I probably shouldn't go into too much detail. Except to say that the way this guy treats me really raises my hackles. I'm sure he thinks it's all fine and dandy. But he would never ever talk to me that way if I were a man. And it's flabbergasting that he thinks we can get a great dialogue going when he won't even let me finish my sentences. o_O He doesn't treat the guys like that. Not that he's super swell towards them either. But there is a difference - the guys picked up on it too - and it is because I am a woman. That seriously pisses me off.
A lot of men tend to think that Norway is a totally equal society - that the job is done here, so to speak. But it's not. It probably never will be, human biology being what it is. But it's much further from being done than a lot of you guys think. Because there are so many among you who will say things to a woman and act towards a woman in ways that you would NEVER act or speak to a man. It would never occur to you. But if the other person is a woman, it is second nature.
That's something for my male readers to think about. You may not think what you're about to say is necessarily patronizing and/or infantilizing - for instance - but think for a moment - would you really say the same thing to a man?
*Not a new presence at the company, but newly become our boss.

The staple food of the Kanembu, a tribe living on the shores of Lake Chad in Africa, is Algae. The Kanembu harvest a common variety known as Spirulina from the lake, dry it on the sand, mix it up into a spicy cake, and eat it with tomatoes and chili peppers.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Consumption of green and yellow vegetables has decreased 6.3 pounds a year per person since the late 1940s. The use of cereal and flour products has dropped about 30 pounds a year per person, and Consumption of noncitrus fruits has declined at about the same rate. The only fruits whose rate of consumption has increased since World War I are citrus fruits.
The Bible mentions Salt more than thirty times.
Apples are more efficient than coffee at keeping people awake in the morning.
On average, a pound of potato Chips cost two hundred times more than a pound of potatoes.
Eighteen ounces of an average Cola drink contain as much caffeine as a cup of coffee.
Though most people think of Salt as a seasoning, only 5 out of every 100 pounds produced each year go to the dinner table The rest is used for such diverse purposes as packing meat, building roads, feeding livestock, tanning leather, and manufacturing glass, soap, ash, and washing compounds.
The nutritional value of squash and pumpkin Seeds improves with age. These Seeds are among the few foods that increase in nutritive value as they decompose. According to tests made at the Massachusetts Experimental Station, squash and pumpkin Seeds stored for more than five months show a marked increase in protein content.
On the average, each American Consumes 117 pounds of potatoes, 116 pounds of beef, 100 pounds of fresh vegetables, 80 pounds of fresh fruit, and 286 eggs per year.
Half the foods eaten throughout the world today were developed by Farmers in the Andes Mountains. Potatoes, maize, sweet potatoes, squash, all varieties of beans, peanuts, manioc, cashews, pineapples, chocolate, avocados, tomatoes, peppers, papayas, strawberries, mulberries, and many other foods were first grown in this region.
In ancient China and certain parts of India, Mouse flesh was considered a great delicacy. In ancient Greece, where the Mouse was sacred to Apollo, Mice were sometimes devoured by temple priests.
According to a report issued by the Senate Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs, improved Nutrition would cut the national health bill by approximately one third. The committee also claims that a diet composed of 10 percent protein, 10 percent fat, and 80 percent complex carbohydrates (plus exercise done in moderation) could save 98 percent of those who die of heart disease every year.
Rennet, a common substance used to curdle milk and make cheese, is taken from the inner lining of the fourth stomach of a calf.
There are 15,000 different kinds of Rice.
Rice is the chief food for half the people of the world.
In the Middle Ages, chicken soup was believed to be an aphrodisiac.
After the "Popeye" comic strip started in 1931, spinach consumption went up by thirty-three percent in the United States.
Refined Sugar is the only food known that provides calories but no nutrition. About 100 pounds of Sugar are eaten per person each year in America, and only 36 percent of it is taken directly. The rest is "hidden" in commercially sweetened and prepared foods like ketchup, baby food, canned fruits, and cereals. Children, it is estimated, consume 3 to 4 pounds of refined Sugar a week.
Among many native tribes in South Africa, Termites are roasted to a nutlike consistency and eaten by the handful, like party snacks. It might also be noted that at certain specialty food shops in the United States and Europe, the connoisseur of exotic delicacies can purchase such treats as chocolate covered ants, candied bees, and pickled bull's scrotum.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Americans eat more than 22 pounds of Tomatoes every year. More than half this amount is eaten in the form of ketchup and Tomato sauce.
Everyone knows about Vitamins A, B, C, D, and E. Few are aware that there are also Vitamin K (promotes proper liver function and vitality), Vitamin T (helpful in treating anemia), Vitamin H (also called biotin), and Vitamin U (promotes healing of ulcers).
In ancient Rome it was considered a sin to eat the flesh of a Woodpecker.

Clark U to Host Discussion on the History of Atlantic Slave Trade
Thursday, September 29, 2016
The talk will take place on Tuesday, October 4 in the Higgins Lounge. The event is free and open to the public.
The Book
The book traces both the history of the Atlantic slave trade by recounting a journey that Hartman took along a slave route in Ghana.
In the book, Hartman follow the trail of captives from the hinterland to the Atlantic coast, reckons with a virtual 'blank slate' of her own genealogy and looks at the effects of slavery on three centuries of African and African American history.
Saidiya Hartman
Hartman is a professor of English and comparative literature at Columbia University.
Her research interests include African American and American literature as well as cultural history, slavery, law and literature, gender studies and performance studies.
She is on the editorial board of Callaloo, a journal of African diaspora arts and letters.
Hartman is also the author of "Scenes of Subjection: Terror, Slavery, and Self-making in Nineteenth Century America."

Product Description for the Blue Cat Audio FreqAnalyst Pro
Blue Cat's FreqAnalyst Pro is a real time spectrum analyzer with advanced functionalities. It uses the same smooth algorithms as its little brother (Blue Cat's FreqAnalyst free plug-in): it has been designed to provide extreme smoothness and high resolution for both time and frequency.
The frequency analysis can be fine tuned in details: manage its precision and rate, apply an offset or slope to the measured spectrum. Two thresholding systems are available, and the time response can be changed thanks to the attack and release parameters. Three modes are offered for each channel: instant, peak or average response can be displayed on the same graph. Zooming capabilities and coordinates display let you exactly measure the characteristics of the spectrum.
The four memory slots let you store any curve in memory: it helps you make comparisons between several tracks or effects setup very easily.
A spectrogram view has been added so that you can monitor the evolution of the spectrum over time either in 2D or 3D (3D waterfall mode). All channels are of course available in this view, with exact coordinates display and zooming capabilities.
Like many of our other professional analysis tools, this plug-in also provides output parameters that you can use to control other effects in real time: the generated automation envelopes or MIDI CC messages include the minimum and maximum frequencies and the energy center of the spectrum, expressed in Hertz or as MIDI note value. With the transformation parameters (offset, amount and reverse), you can customize the generation of these parameters and monitor the modifications on the value graphs. Check the DP Meter Pro Tutorials to see how to use this capability within your favorite host.
- Mono, stereo or mid/side real time spectrum analyzer.
- Total control over the analysis parameters, with slope and offset correction.
- Smart interpolation algorithm for extreme display smoothness.
- Spectrum and spectrogram views.
- Animated zoom for all displays.
- Precise measurement capabilities, with note info display.
- 3D waterfall view with full 3D control.
- Solid or wireframe 3D surface display.
- Instant, peak and average curves display for each channel.
- Save the curves for easy A/B comparison.
- Opacity control for the user interface.
- Custom absolute and relative threshold control.
Blue Cat Audio Standards:
- Available as: Mac-AAX, Mac-AU, Mac-RTAS, Mac-VST, Win-AAX, Win-DX, Win-RTAS, Win-VST, Win x64-AAX, Win x64-DX, Win x64-VST.
- Native DSP code for optimal performance.
- Full MIDI control and automation support with silent, zipper-free parameters update, advanced response control and MIDI Learn.
- No CPU load on idle: when the plug-in is fed with silence, the processing smoothly shuts down, to optimize the CPU usage of your Digital Audio Workstation.
- Skinnable and customizable user interface with transparency management.
- Automation and MIDI output: record output parameters as automation curves or send MIDI CC messages to other plug-ins for powerful side chain effects.
- Smooth Bypass: activate/deactivate the plug-in with absolutely no noise.
- Undo/Redo.
- Import/Export presets in a host independent format.
- Any sample rate supported.

With more than 400 people at our Buy To Let seminars over the past few months, it's clear that the new tax rules are a major cause of concern for landlords of residential property. We are working with a number of landlords who are planning for the effect of this new regime. They know that if they leave matters until 2017, when the new rules start to take effect, they will be behind the curve.
For some individuals, the answer is a sale of some of their properties to try to reduce their borrowings and hence the effect of a restriction on tax relief for interest on those borrowings. If this decision is taken as the new rules come into effect, some people will be caught up in what might become a rush to sell properties. This is likely to be a buyer's market and so this could impair the value that can be obtained on a sale of these properties.
For others, the best solution may be to incorporate their properties, and the debt on them, into a limited company. This is a major decision, and one that should not be taken lightly, but we are guiding a number of our clients through this process.
Some landlords now think that they will have to pay the higher rate of Stamp Duty Land Tax on any transfer to a company. While this is true in some cases, it is not always true. Relief is available that can mean that no SDLT is payable on the transfer in the right circumstances. We are discussing this opportunity with clients and, where appropriate, we are obtaining advance clearance from HMRC that the relief applies.
The other potential tax problem is Capital Gains Tax. Again there is the potential for incorporation to trigger a large tax bill, but we are submitting advance clearances to HMRC to get their agreement that relief applies. Agreement is now being secured in some cases and it is becoming clearer who is likely to qualify.
Having obtained the clearances, refinancing the lending in a company can be an issue, but the secured lending specialists in Tait Walker are working with clients and loan providers to facilitate the incorporation of their property portfolios.

Bees on Lavender Flowers
If you are a lavender lover and grower, you have discovered that if bees are nearby, they love lavender in bloom. Lavender and bees are, simply put, very good friends! There are varying thoughts on bees and the flavor of their honey, but since bees will travel up to 6.5 miles from their hive, unless you own half the county, few hives will have honey from only one source. But, simply put, bees love lavender in bloom, as they love anything in bloom where they can get nectar or pollen. While lavender growers have varying purposes for growing the type of lavender they grow or even the color of the blooms or length of stems, bees have discarded human reasoning, for they tend to be both smarter and less discriminating than lavender growers are!
Some lavender growers may want to leave a certain percentage of plants uncut at harvest time, and the bees will say a collective 'thank you' to this practice. There can be no doubt that Angustifolia varieties, which bloom either continuously or multiple times, offer a greater opportunity for bees to have a regular 'diet' of lavender pollen and nectar.
You might even grow some varieties which seem less suitable for your purposes as a lavender grower and let them bloom as long as they want and the bees will find that practice quite compatible to their 'mission' to sustain their hive and produce honey.
As you have relaxing moments, tour your gardens of perennials, herbs, vegetables and especially lavender, and when you see bees present on the blooms, increase the number of those plants in subsequent years … and as time moves on, you will see thousands of bees everywhere you walk. On our farm, we are 'friends', and can go close to the hives, weed while they work among blooms, and find the farm a place where we can peaceably cohabit and enjoy life together.
Do not wear perfume … bees would rather smell you sweaty. If you have aggressive bees, best try bees from another source … as most bees today are pretty calm, not aggressive, and prefer to enjoy life with you, not against you!
Do NOT use chemicals on plants in bloom … bees can take the insecticide with them back to the hive and kill themselves and a ton of their co-workers!
If you are new to beekeeping, there are associations of beekeepers across the country, and many of them have regular (at least annual) workshops for beginners. There is nothing better than finding fellowship with other beekeepers, just as those of us who are lavender growers enjoy each others company.

It's been almost a month now since I started the "no stuff" challenge so I'm well overdue for an update. I'm also overdue for a "Great Weight Update" but after last night's Dorito Date and Todays Chocolate finger fun.... well, let's just say that hell will have to freeze over (or else it will have to stop raining here in the south of Ireland) before I go anywhere near the vicinity of a scale any time soon.
Now, being a rather "frugal" (cough - cheap! - cough) person to begin with, the thought of buying nothing (or close enough anyway) didn't exactly fill me with fear. Quite the opposite in fact! I was rubbing my hands gleefully at the prospect of having an excuse to shop for second hand bargains and to use my own creativity and ingenuity to make do with what I already have or just plain make anything I need.
I've had shoes posted to me from a mother who's daughter had outgrown them. I in turn, sent two pairs of the snot queen's old shoes to another mam. We've traded toys with friends, made our own fun and switched the tiny one over to cloth nappies. We've also sold or given away several of our un-needed items on rollercoaster.ie, a popular Irish parenting site.
I suppose the greatest realization that I've made is how little we actually need and how, with a little ingenuity, the things we want can be ours without costing the earth (in more ways then one!)

I know what you mean. Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed by how much STUFF I have. I hear about people who give it all up and go live in a cabin in the woods, and think "I could do that!" (well, at least if there was internet in the woods!) :)ReplyDelete

Shen Yin Wang Zuo, Chapter 465: Returning in the Exorcist Mountain Pass (III)
Sheng Yue was extremely strong, but that was only physical strength. What he collided with was Legendary Equipment.
Wang Yuanyuan and Han Yu were kicked away, but Sheng Yue also wasn't good off. Characterized by their frantic glints, these two Legendary Equipment devastated his paralyzed body, delaying him even further.
Right at this moment, the Blue Fire Phoenix reached him, instantly gushing out with red-hot flames, and bursting out with terrible might that almost engulfed Sheng Yue's whole body.
Phoenix Heart of Fire. This was the only ability of a fused spiritual stove, and it caused Lin Xin to suffer an enormous backlash every time he used. Originally, at the time he had just obtained this technique, he managed to use it to block a Zombie King of the eighth step, wounding him to a great extent.
Sheng Yue was naturally stronger than a Zombie King, but the biggest issue was that, he was caught unprepared. Lin Xin was becoming progressively more proficient in controlling fire. So, at the time he intervened, the power in his Phoenix Heart of Fire already accumulated, all of which burst out upon colliding.
"You little rascals." Sheng Yue cursed loudly, busting out with a sparkling grey light. His sharp aura immediately cut the throat of the blue phoenix, causing it to disappear in a flash, and everything returned to normal.
With a kick after another the group of males including Long Haochen whose Shield Wall retracted after being sent flying.
But Sheng Yue didn't keep attacking, confronting the Devil Dragon that was occupying half of the room with a grotesque expression. He was highly alert.
"Ying'er, stop it. The senior doesn't have any malicious intention." Although Long Haochen was in pain from the kick, he ordered in a hurry.
The might of the Devil Dragon was just too great. Causing the Assassin Temple to misunderstand wouldn't do any good.
With a flash of black light, under the dumbstruck gaze of Sheng Yue, the previously aggressive Devil Dragon turned back into the shape of a frail little pig held in Chen Ying'er's arms, even showing a taunting look.
Sheng Yue's mouth and eyes twitched, cursing at them one more time, "What a group of little rascals you are. Why did you become so fierce? Is this uncle a demon?"
Sheng Yue's look was indeed hard to look at. His clothes were scorched along with some of his hair. A burn even appeared on his left cheek. That was truly a sorry figure.
Sheng Yue wanted to find a private place to curse at himself. All he did was to try out their skills a little! It was to the extent that he was disgraced. These little rascals, don't they even know about being lenient?
But surely he couldn't say these words out loud. Grudgingly looking at Long Haochen's group who was standing back up, he shouted in a rage, "You have grown up quite well haven't you? To dare go against this uncle.. Should this uncle just come and teach you a little lesson?"
"Great-grandfather, please spare us. This wasn't intentional." Long Haochen hurriedly advanced with a smile on his face, paying his respects as a junior in the form of a salute.
Sheng Yue snorted, "You little one are the worse of all. Don't you know how worried you made us? So what about me coming to lecture you? From what I see, you little bunch of bastards have shown quite interesting reactions. Is there such bitter hatred between us all?"
Seeing Sheng Yue's sorry figure, everyone naturally understood that this elder was only trying out Long Haochen. Now they didn't even dare to laugh at the scene, keeping their heads down without muttering a word.
"So you have finally grown up haven't you?" Sheng Yue raised his hand, hitting Long Haochen on the head. The pained Long Haochen showed a grimace, not daring to make a sound. He didn't expect Sheng Yue to be so careless, having been reduced to such a state by them so rapidly. Unfortunately it was too late to think of avoiding earning this person's wrath.
Sheng Yue felt quite depressed! Because he figured that he wasn't even able to vent out. After calming down for a little, he felt secretly apprehensive. Even if he had been careless, he was still a powerhouse of the ninth step! A hundred thousand units of spiritual energy was standing in front of them, and what was up with these guys' equipment! For a Demon Hunt Squad who had just raised themselves to the commander grade to take out so many Legendary Tier equipment. Just from where could they have come? And in particular, Long Haochen's shield was letting out an orange glow. Epic Tier?
Sheng Yue seemed to have underestimated the strength of Long Haochen's group. In fact, the last time they came, they could at most be regarded as a brilliant younger generation. But this time, they could already display comprehensive strength in front of this senior. This was simply a leap of strength.
"You're at the seventh step?" Sheng Yue's wrath gradually vanished. Unconsciously, he asked Long Haochen this question. He still clearly remembered that at the time Logn Haochen unleashed that sword energy, he was on the boundary of Brilliant Body.
Long Haochen nodded in response, "Yes, great-grandfather."
Sheng Yue had a great startle. Making a guess was one thing, but getting a confirmation of the fact was another. Just how old was he? Absolutely below twenty. Wasn't he just fourteen of fifteen the last time they met? Just how many year has it been since then? And already at the seventh step? Then it was no wonder that the Demon God Emperor would want to capture this guy. Seventh step, is he at this stage for real? At what age did I reach that level back then? Wasn't it at thirty five?
Sweeping his look on the whole group once again, the look on Sheng Yue's face finally appeased. Of course, his cold demeanor sounded laughable when coming from such a sorry looking shape… Of course, Long Haochen's group absolutely didn't dare laugh out loudly?
Right at this time, severe knocks sounded out from the outside.
"The situation is all right here. I am the one who brought an imitator to mimic the dragon aura of a Devil Dragon." Sheng Yue shouted out. He could obviously not let himself be seen by his subordinates to avoid losing all face.
Hearing him, everyone outside immediately calmed down.
Sheng Yue stared fixedly at Long Haochen for quite a long time, nodding, "Not bad. These past few years, you seem to have matured quite a lot, and your strength grew quite a bit. You have finally made it back. The fourth Hidden Knight should have already told you. The Holy War has started."
Long Haochen nodded, "Great-grandfather, the blame is on me. I am willing to accept whatever punishment is dealt by the Alliance?"
"Getting dealt by?" Sheng Yue's voice was abruptly raised up, "Farts! What fault is on you, do you think of yourself to be qualified enough? What are you to put your head in affairs you have nothing to do with? Just tell if you want to be beaten up. Can the Holy War between the demons and the Alliance be started over a single person?"
Although Sheng Yue's words sounded harsh, he took a reprimanding tone intentionally. But Long Haochen felt warm , naturally able to sense Sheng Yue's concern from his words.
Long Haochen took a deep breath, following the talk, "Great-grandfather, it's really the case. Listen to me, this matter is very important to the Alliance. No matter what decision you take, I won't have any complaint. I won't hide from the Alliance either, I trust that you will make the best choice."
Seeing Long Haochen's serious look, Sheng Yue suddenly realized that things weren't as simple as he imagined. Wrinkling his brows, he covered the whole room in an ice-cold layer, covering the whole room.
"What do you want to say?" Sheng Yue wrinkled his brows.
Long Haochen replied, "Great-grandfather, I am certainly the cause why the Demon God Emperor started this Holy War. About this, even my comrades don't know, but as the person involved, I am very clear of the cause why the Holy War started. I feel very sad about it. I really don't want to see the people being put in terrible situation. But this matter is related to my closest comrade. There's no way I could hand him over, so I ask the Alliance to take the final decision. No matter how the Alliance decides to handle me, I will accept the treatment."
Hearing such serious words, not only Sheng Yue had an unsightly expression, but the same went for his comrades with the only exception being the dazed Cai'er. The others were all opening their eyes wide in shock. They were also full of questions about the motives of the Demon God Emperor. Hearing Haochen's words, that this Holy War was indeed related to him.
Sheng Yue's cheek showed signs of twitchingsquirming/wiggling(?). His voice suddenly became more gentle, "Boy, don't worry. You great-grandfather is listening to you.
You know, no matter what happens, your great-grandfather will be standing on your side. No one can punish my great-grandson. And you have to remember, don't ever tell someone else about what you told me. Even inside the Alliance, not everyone thinks the same as me. Now tell me what you have in heart. As long as I can be of help, I will give my all to help you."
"Yes." Seeing Sheng Yue's concerned look, Long Haochen nodded with all his force. He almost had an urge to cry. Sheng Yue was Cai'er's great-grandfather, but this time, he felt a strong warmth feeling emanating from this irascible old man. And family love had always been Long Haochen's weak spot.
"Great-grandfather, at the time we left the Alliance, we took a total of sixteen Slaughter Missions. Less than half a year later, we have succeeded in completing all of them. Among these missions, the hardest one was to kill the last ranked demon god Andromalius."
Sheng Yue was once again in great shock, "What? Are you saying that you killed a demon god? Devil Snake Demon God Andromalius?"
Long Haochen nodded in reply, "A great part of it was related to luck." At that moment, he detailed the matter of their encounter with the Devil Snake Demon God, and how they took advantage of the conflict between the Forest Boa King and Andromalius, and how both sides ended up close to killing each other.
"A great achievement. Even an Emperor grade Demon Hunt wouldn't necessarily manage to kill a demon god under the protection of his demon god pillar. With such an achievement when you are not even in your twenties, you guys are simply legends for the Alliance." Even with his harsh character, Sheng Yue couldn't help but feel amazed hearing Long Haochen's story. These children risked their lives and at such young age to kill a demon god, this was truly a huge achievement.

During my school days, I looked forward to saturdays like every other kid but times were different then, during those days I used to live at home. Now, I live away from home, with some friends. Taking forward the lethargic and laid back attitude of college life, I lose every weekend morning to sleep, and then laze around in the afternoons only to have the night time left which I spend watching some TV shows or chatting on facebook. The point I'm trying to make here is, a good, early start of the day is essential! And I get that on weekdays when I have to wake up by 9 AM to go to office. I sip a cup of coffee and get by the day. That way I also end up sleeping pretty early, by around 1ish AM at night.
Another reason I look forward to mondays is because I get to meet people at office. My colleagues and seniors are really cool and we have great working environment. On weekends I only get to meet people during regular Madhapur Toastmasters meeting or other toastmaster's clubs meeting. Other than that, I'm pretty much with myself only. Although I do enjoy watching TV shows at my flatmate's PC which has really cool LCD screen while at the apartment, its watching the TV shows that I've been trying to give up for quite sometime now. And when alone, well, if I have electricity and access to the internet, facebook and online streaming of TV shows becomes the obvious choice. Else, I get lost in my thoughts, make stories in my mind that later I feel too lazy to type out.
I love mondays, it gets me back to office where I learn many new things about SQL server and database systems, and it gives me a sense of purpose in my life. Although the AC sometimes blocks my nose, I think its a small price to pay for all the returns everyday and at the end of every month.

Now that Addison is drinking Vitamin D milk I thought I should try and switch her to a sippy instead of a bottle. After the first day of giving her Vitamin D, the next day I gave her a sippy instead of a bottle. She made the transition quite well, and the bottles have now been put away since the 1st of November. Since I wasn't sure how Addison was going to do I just bought her two smaller sippys. Now that I know she likes the sippy cup, I went and picked up a few of the stage 3. Addison only likes the Playtex brand, so when I was looking at all the sippy cups I saw this cute one where you can personalize it. (Tim thinks I am a dork for buying it, but I thought it was fun.) The middle part comes out and there is paper where your kids can draw something, put pictures on it etc. So check out Addison's new sippy cup. Mine is pretty simple, just printed something off and stuck it in there.

Pig Attempts to Mace, Punches Black Woman 4 Times for Biking on Sidewalk
In the above video, a white-skinned police pig attempts to mace a Black womam for riding her bicycle on the sidewalk. So intent is the pig on macing her rapidly that he accidently sprays the mace backward, into his own face.
In retribution for what he has done to himself, the pig is then seen punching the black woman four times or more while she is being restrained face-down by two other officers.
I believe that when three officers arrest womnan for riding her bike on the sidewalk, Black communities are in need of self defense.
Some will say that this woman should have submitted earlier. Some will say that rape victims should have sbmitted to avoid angering the rapists. I don't compare ant behavior to rape lightly, but I believe that Black comunities across the country are being serially raped by pigs with guns, badges, and now 50,000 volt electrocution devices which sometimes fail and leave victims alive to face charges in court.
Forty-five years ago, Black Panthers used the slogan, "Off the pigs!" precisely in response to cases far worse than the one videotaped above. At that time, police typically explained shooting Blacks in the back by asserting that the victims were trying to run away.
I wonder if the police officer in the above video regretted spraying the mace after he had sprayed himself in the face? I wonder if officers regret taking outh their electrocution devices in those cases when members of the public get control of the devices and use them to shock the police officers.
America has a Black president and a Black Attorney General, both do gooders of gret courage, but it seems to me that the only thing that has chaged over the 45 years since the Panthers began acting in aemed self defense is that police now videotape their behavior so that all white juries can ignore what they see and "convict the man of darker skin."
I don't think the word "pig" is extreme in light of the "under-color-of-law" behavior to which individual Blacks and our communities are being subjected. If they don't want to be called pigs, they should stop behaving like pigs.

The new fonts look good - I will dream of seeing them in real life until the magazine comes out in the UK. I really enjoyed the April addition, after not being pleased with the poor content in the March edition. April had a youthful side to it and more interesting things. I personally loved the jackets, although missed 'From my home to yours' and wished that Martha had done a column as well as her trip to Prague, but I suppose I can't have everything!
Hope the new job and apartment are going well and that you are settling in.

In this I'm gonna discuss the service rendered by Claudius Ptolemy for the upheaval of astronomy.
Ptolemy, who lived in Alexandria was a great scientist who had done an immense service to the astronomy. He lived from 90 AD to 168 AD playing the role of mathematician, astronomer, geographer and astrologer.
According to the Ptolemy's theory Earth was at the center of the universe thus leading to his theory ow Geo-centricity. He believed all other objects were around the Earth. He used geometrical sketches and diagrams to prove his fact. He had illustrated that Sun, Moon and other planets were orbiting the Earth, which was on the center. However we have been able to develop new theories today and confirm the accuracy of data related to Solar System and Universe. Although Ptolemy's ideology is no longer accepted, I believe in the fat that he was a great personality who contributed to the realization of the precise universe.
However it should be said that until the collapse of Roma empire, for over 1400 years Ptolemy's idea existed ans accepted without any debate whatsoever.
Thus I dedicate the IYA 2009 Astronomy Sri Lanka blog today for the elite Claudius Ptolemy in honor of his outstanding contribution towards astronomy.
It is worth mentioning his 3 valuable contributions to the mankind, being Almagest, Geography, Apotelesmatika (Tetrabiblos in Greek) each of which discussed mathematics, geography and astrology respectively.
