Today's data releases have shown that the state of the German economy is worse than even the pessimists have thought so far. Details from Q2 GDP data revealed that there were fundamental rather than merely technical factors behind the siginificant drop of GDP in the second quarter (0.5 percent quarter-on-quarter or 2.0 percent in annualized terms). Even taking out the drop in construction activity (which was a technical reaction to an extremely strong increase in Q1) and the inventory correction, economic growth basically came to a standstill this spring. Private consumption has now been contracting three quarters in a row and investment in equipment and software contracted sharply (possibly as a side effect of the corporate tax reform which was enacted on January 1 as has been criticised on Eurozone watch for its contractionary effects before – see here and here).
To make things worse, the outlook has further clouded: The German ifo index for the business climate for August recorded another whopping 2.7 points after already experiencing the largest monthly drop since September 11, 2001 in July. If one looks at the graph of the index, one does not need any econometric tools to see that this now is the most violent and fastest deterioration in German business climate for more than a decade (see below).
Given the leading indicators, it would be very surprising if the German economy would grow again strongly in Q3. Instead, a further contraction of GDP now looks likely. With such a development, Germany would fulfill the standard definition of a recession.
What is more worrying, though, is that there is not a single indicator which points at a quick recovery. While gas prices at the pump are declining, so far it is only plain hope that consumers will react with a consumption binge. The risk is significant that instead the labour market will start deteriorating this fall and thus again eating into the Germans' disposable income, just counteracting any positive effect from falling energy prices.
While thus a GDP growth rate of around 1.7 percent for the current year still seems plausible given the statistical overhang from 2007 and the first quarter of 2008, for 2009 it will be now very hard to even achieve a GDP growth rate of 1.0 percent (even only figuring in a very mild recession and a recovery around the end of the year, I now only come to an estimate of 0.6 percent for next year). At that kind of growth, unemployment will clearly rise again.
What is puzzling given the bleak data, however, is that in Germany, politicians and large parts of the mainstream media continue their business as if Germany was still in the middle of an upswing.
The government even managed the impressive stunt to sell the 2 percent annualized GDP drop in Q2 as a good economic figure: Roughly ten days before publication of the figure (and before even the data on exports or production were available), some government source leaked to the Süddeutsche Zeitung that the government expected GDP to contract by as much as 4 percent in annualized terms. When the final number came out, large parts of the media (with the notable exception of the Financial Times Deutschland) judged the drop relative to the figures published prior and hence came to the conclusion that economic conditions in Germany are not that bad after all.
The two most important daily newspapers, Süddeutsche Zeitung und Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung continue to claim that there are no clear signs of a significant downturn. Especially, they underline, there is no need for government action or fiscal stimulus. In the government, the Social Democrats and chancellor Angela Merkel also follow this line: They claim that budget consolidation needs to remain the highest priority even though the government sector as a whole already ran a balanced budget last year and is forecast to run only a modest deficit this year.
They get support from economic think tanks: Only about a week ago, ifo-president Hans-Werner Sinn said that while Germany is facing tougher economic times, it does not need a stimulus program at the moment and does not have the fiscal scope to enact one (http://www.cesifo-group.de/portal/page/portal/ifoHome/B-politik/10echomitarb/_echomitarb?item_link=ifostimme-wiwo-18-08-08.htm)
The only major party (except the Left party) talking of economic stimulus are now the Christian Socialists which – while being part of the grand coalition – face a state election in their home state Bavaria in September. Unfortunately, they do not make any useful proposals but basically want to cut taxes after the next federal election in 2009 – which certainly does little to help the short term economic problems of the German economy.
One can only speculate where this overall complacency of the political elite comes from. One reason seems to be that in the German public debate, economic cycles have never featured very high and both a large number of German journalists as well as German economists have a very poor understanding of forces shaping the economic cycle.
When Germany fell into recession after 2001, most economists and journalists claimed that this was not a cyclical, but a structural problem of the German economy. The general reading now is that the structural problems have been tackled with Gerhard Schröder's labour market reform and years of wage restraint. In fact, most mainstream economist explain the strong economic recovery since 2005 at least partly with the effects from this reform. Against this mental frame, it is only logical to argue that a downturn is not a danger for the German economy as long as structural impediments are not increased.
Unfortunately, the economy is influenced by more than these structural issues. For an economy as dependend on exports as the German economy, the appreciation of the euro and the global economic slowdown will be enough to end an upswing even if the underlying structure of labour markets have improved. With the government sitting on its hands, Germans will learn this the hard way in the months to come.

Sadly Jerry Lewis's film work is typically derided in this day and age. He is lampooned and mocked for the most part and his over all fine output of films form the late 50's and into the late 70's is dismissed. This is unfortunate since many of this films made for Paramount Pictures, which he also directed and wrote (usually with script partner Bill Richmond) and sometimes produced. I prefer this period of his films to the buddy films he made with Dean Martin and am willing to concede that by the 70's his films were becoming unwatachable. The errand boy was made in 1961 and is a strange little film really. The film looks and feels more like a French or Italian film of the same time period. This is true not only of the surreal nature of the story but of the crisp b/w photography by W. Wallace Kelley who worked as cinematographer on many of Lewis's films of the period as well as doing visual effects for films like Vertigo and The War of the Worlds.
Lewis plays the nobody Morty S. Tashman who is promoted, so to speak, from doing odd jobs on the studio lot to be an errand for for the studio moguls. The bigwigs actually want to use Morty as a spy to see were revenues are going but the film actually drops this plot rather quickly and the story becomes and series of short vignettes that have no real connection to one another. Morty remains alone through out the film and there are no romantic interests or character conflicts other than the scenes between Morty and his boss. The film ends with Morty, a lost soul basically, becoming a Hollywood star through a series of goof ups. My wife and I really loved one short sequence where Morty interacts with a hand puppet. I liked it so much I a made a clip of it using Sony Vegas and up loaded it to my Viddler account. If you hate Jerry Lewis this film will not change your mind in any way. If you like his films like The Nutty Professor or The Ladies Man you should be able to enjoy this strange little movie from an over looked filmmaker.

I had a question about letters of recommendation. I've been working through school as a systems analyst at the same university I go to school at. It isn't physics related, mostly SQL database design/admin and coding in Python and ASP.NET.
I was thinking about getting a letter from my boss, because she has known me for three years and was very impressed with my work.
The down-side is that work has nothing to do with Physics per se.
Would it be better to get a third recommendation from a Physics professor who I've gotten the highest score in the class with, but who I've never really worked with?
While developing my application, is the: "I worked while getting through Physics Undergrad." a good route to go, or should I not emphasize that part?
Thanks for any advice!

Busy Busy Busy in July 2015
Early July saw the completion of a year of work on Seussical the Musical at Queens Theatre Hornchurch, which starred over 120 young people between the ages of 7 - 19. I am immensely proud of the work they achieved on this massive project, and thanks to a few of the jazz heavyweights who turned up to rinse the music in the band of the show (Rich Perks, Phil Meadows, to name a few!). It was a fantastic education and community project I look forward to the next with aplomb.
Alongside a host of functions, festivals and weddings there have been a few sporadic gigs alongside the full scale theatre show, particularly Jazz at St Ants on Wednesday 15th July which was fantastic as the barman managed to name everyone in the room due to the select few in the audience!
A select few future performances include:
Sunday 19th July
Gabriel Garrick Big Band @ Gunnersbury Tavern, 12:30pm
Sunday 19th July
Andrew Linham Quartet @ Luna Lounge Leytonstone, 8pm
A rare outing of my Quartet this time featuring Tom Millar, Sam Vicary (ex-Yoruba fame) and Dan Paton.
Saturday 29th August
Andrew Linham's Swing Thing @ Queens Theatre Hornchurch, 2:30pm
A brand new project of mine alongside vocalist Alison Beck, this looks to be a fantastic afternoon of hard swinging standards. Click on the logo below for more information.
Thursday 24th September
London City Big Band @ Spice of Life
It will be great to be back into the traditional big band fold with the London City Big Band, formed out of the cream of the recent graduates of London's finest music conservatoires.
The rest of my time is filled with corporate festivals, composing the new suite of music Theme Music of Anarchic Animals for the Jazz Orchestra to premier at the London Jazz Festival this year and continuing with commissions of new works for primary schools in Havering, Queens Theatre projects, Havering Community projects and arranging piano music for vocal workshops.
I might also start the work and scoring for the Andrew Linham Jazz Orchestra Big Christmas Party, coming Christmas 2015!
Oh, and maybe amongst that jumble of work I might manage a holiday or two!
Have a great summer!

Take Care of Freedom and Truth Will Take Care of Itself: Interviews with Richard Rorty
"...what people really worry about is truthfulness. They think they are being lie to all the time, and usually they are right. They are being lied to. And they wish that people would tell them the truth. But what they mean here is not a question of the nature of truth. They just want people to say what they believe, governments to say the same things to the public that they say to other governments, and so on. Truth as a philosophical problem is a question of whether true statements are representations of reality, or whether the notion of representation applies to statements, and so on. This is really technical." 57
"If you take care of freedom, truth takes care of itself. A true statement is just one that a free community can agree to be true. If we take care of political freedom, we get truth as a bonus." 58

EW.com (ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY's electronic edition) reveals the official cover for MOBY (aka WRITTEN IN MY OWN HEART'S BLOOD). Here's the link to their piece, which has a few questions and answers (such as they are [cough]). While I originally wanted an octopus on the cover–both because I really like octopuses and because of the symbolism (there are eight major characters whose stories I'm telling through this book–and it _is_ the eighth book, after all), there were certain technical issues that made that difficult. My husband–never a big fan of the octopus concept–asked whether I could think laterally; surely there were other ways to get an "8″ onto the cover. So I thought. And almost at once, the word "octothorpe" sprang to mind. I've always liked the word, and it certainly was appropriate (you may or may not recognize it in its Very Artistic form here–but it's the lowly hashtag, or pound sign), as it not only has eight points (and eight "fields" of empty space surrounding it; one explanation of […]

From the wilds of the mud-ridden East coast of the UK comes a wry and seemingly unlikely take on the alt-country and blues sounds of the United States, in the form of the engaging talent of Tom Parkes.
With a stage persona that is in equal parts imposing and self-deprecating, Tom has nailed songwriting early. That such an authentic Americana voice can spring from the Essex clay rather than the red dirt of Texas is a wholly welcome development and such is the wit, dexterity and excellence of the songs that the dissonance you might reasonably expect never appears.
The listener effortlessly believe in his characters - the outlaws, the unwelcome interlopers, the drunkards and the lost souls that frequent a fictional but believable bar loosely based on a real licensed premises (in Colchester rather than Fort Worth).
Tom started to make inroads into the broader music community a handful of years back with his old band 'The Ghost Train Porters', acquiring a fan list that included no less than the BBC's Steve Lamacq. Despite critical acclaim the band fizzled out as quickly as they had sprung up and Tom retired to lick his wounds and plan his next move.
A slow return via highly-appreciated Maverick Festival performances and a smattering of local shows ensued and the debut solo album 'Stranger In Town' is due for release in June 2018.

Good morning,
This wild April continues! I hope everyone is having a great start to this Tuesday. As we go about our busy days, we have this storm to track. It is a dry storm for Kansas City, but anything but dry for areas just around a half state to the north. Take a look at this surface forecast map valid at 3 PM this afternoon:
A rather strong surface cyclone will be developing as an upper level storm intensifies over the Rocky Mountains and tracks over the western plains tonight. As this system tracks east, heavy snow will be developing over the states just north of KC. This would normally be a major severe weather producer, and this storm does not lack low level moisture.
From the Storm Prediction Center: NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST: Severe thunderstorms are not anticipated through early Wednesday. Thunderstorm potential will be minimal across the United States today. A couple of late afternoon thunderstorms might form in the central high plains/Black Hills vicinity where scant buoyancy could develop near an eastward-ejecting shortwave trough. Greater likelihood will exist for isolated thunderstorms across the Mid-Missouri Valley tonight into early Wednesday. Here, strong forcing for ascent via low-level warm air advection and mid-level divergence should overcome robust convective inhibition and yield a few thunderstorms along the northern periphery of the Great Plains cap. Small hail might accompany the strongest updrafts as CAPE will probably remain weak where parcels can freely convect.
So, a thunderstorm is not out of the question, and a few may form. What is fascinating, and this has happened several times in this years LRC, is that the heavier rain and possible thunderstorms that do form this evening just to our northwest, will then track into the colder air and turn into heavy snow. This actually happened in Green Bay a couple of days ago and this is how they had their second biggest snowstorm in their recorded history at just under 24″.
On that surface map, the red line is the warm front, and the yellow line is the dry line. The warm front is a big factor for KC's weather today. South of the front it will reach into the 80s with dew points in the 60s. North of the front bands of clouds will likely form and it will stay in the 50s near KC. The warm front may pass through this evening and we would then have a temperature jump and humidity increase for a few hours before the cold front moves through by early Wednesday. This is just a fascinating storm to track today, but it is a dry storm for KC. Could we see a rain shower? Sure we may, but that would be it, a five minute rain shower and that is a big maybe, so I have kept the chance under 10%.
The NWS tweeted out this graphic above. Three of the coldest April high temperatures ever have happened in 2018. April 1 and 2 came in at 33 and 34 degrees respectively, and the fifth coldest high temperature in April Kansas City recorded history happened on Sunday with a high of 31°. That record really stands out as it may have come in fifth, but it was the latest date by 6 days, and it broke the record by TEN degrees. I am not sure how many times a record gets broken by 10, but it has to be a very rare event.
Kansas City Weather Timeline:
- Today: This is an interesting and quite difficult forecast. The models that form no clouds (RUC) have highs near 70 degrees in KC this afternoon. There is a strong warm front forming and approaching, but it will stay south of KC all day. So, I am expecting the cloudless models to be wrong and I am forecasting a high near 60°. Expect east winds at 5-15 mph increasing.
- Tonight: The warm front may briefly move through with temperatures near 60 if that happens. The wind will shift to the west and northwest and become gusty by morning. Low: 43°
- Wednesday: Partly cloudy, windy, and colder. High: 53°
- Looking ahead: A weekend storm will be approaching, but this system has been trending farther and farther south. Kansas City appears to be on the north side of what may be a rather wet storm. Some models have no rain at all. This has been the trend. If it were a snowstorm, we would have already discussed possible high accumulations, only to be left disappointed once again.

text: I asked the question on this blog once, What makes a Church work? After listing various factors, I wrote: "My heartfelt answer is content and atmosphere, and both of these need deliberate work, publicly and privately." I shall focus here on the second of these, namely atmosphere. It is critical that a Church should maintain a good atmosphere -- so much so that this has been at the top of my list when beginning any new ministry, not to speak of the remainder of it. The source of a good atmosphere is this: if one has God's grace and blessing in mind, on His Church, one will always have something encouraging to think and to say. He is the source of a good atmosphere, because to trust Him is to be "upbeat". In fact the Lord Himself often said things such as "Let not your heart be troubled," or "Be of good cheer." People's natural tendency, though, would seem to be the opposite. Sometimes this may be because they have no saving relationship with the Lord, and therefore lack spiritual sight. Now when I speak of "deliberate work" on a Church's atmosphere, this includes firm and immediate counsel of members, even action, where anyone is troubling that atmosphere. That is crucial. One dare not drift in this area. OBSERVATION: An incident which stands out in my mind, in my earlier ministry, was a meeting where Elders and Deacons threatened to resign if I did not deal with people who were troubling the atmosphere -- and I did deal with them. At the end of the day, though, a minister can't take it too hard if he or she has done their best, with dependence on God. Not every destructive atmosphere can be cured.

New Jersey Online Privacy Protection Act
NJOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy.

Josh and I took the boys to the zoo the other day, and even though it rained, we had a great time! The twins loved the bears, Wyatt loved the fish and I loved the elephant ears!
Posted by Shelly Cunningham at 7:06 PM 1 comment: Links to this post
Happiest of Birthdays
All our boys were born in June. The twins were born June 6th and Wyatt June 15th, so when it comes to birthday parties, we tend to just throw one big one. This year was no different. Wyatt chose a Paw Patrol pinata & the cake flavor, as well as the candles (stars for brothers, lego ones for himself) and we asked my sister to throw together some fun party games for all the boys to enjoy.
The day turned out just as I envisioned. Lots of people gathered together to celebrate those great kids turning eight and five, eating pizza & enjoying cake while visiting with each other. I couldn't have been happier, and neither could our boys.
It's been a big year for them, being away from Josh, becoming big brothers of a sweet little sister, and planning a move away from here come fall... But through it all, they've had the best attitudes and resilience. They have been flexible and willing to help, especially those older two, and I'm so proud of them!
Logan, Jack & Wyatt, I have loved every minute of being your mom. From the moment you were placed in my arms, I was hooked. I love each of you so fiercely, so differently, that I know God knew exactly what He was doing when he put three little boys in my life. I needed every one of you to teach me all the lessons I need to learn. The hardest one so far? Letting you grow.
"I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always...
As long as I'm living,
my baby you'll be."

First River Trip of 2016
The first trip to the river every summer is always exciting. This year was no different! Carly got to wear a swimsuit for the first time, and the twins got scuba gear from my parents for their birthday. It was a great day and we were all reluctant to leave, even as the sun set behind the trees, causing the icy water to fall into the shadows.

Carly- 5 Months
Baby girl, Squish McMush, Carlykins, Carly May, Babykins, is five months old. It feels both fast & like an eternity. When I think of the long sleepless nights that began it all back in January, I feel like she was born about three decades ago. The cold, dark nights are a faint memory.
Now it's warm, sister's got thighs hanging out of her little rompers, and her eyelashes have grown long enough to rest on her sweet cheeks. She's growing in all the best ways-- babbling, reaching for things and giggling when she feels so inclined. We all love her so.
So please pardon the next hundred pictures of our girl... I simply can't narrow it down.

Earlier this fall, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation released its annual Mortgage Consumer Survey — something it has done since 1999.
And the survey is always interesting to look at as it gives a nice snapshot of what's happening in the nation's housing market.
"Shopping for a mortgage can be overwhelming so the more information you have, the better your experience. We've expanded our survey to give us greater detail on what Canadians want when looking for a mortgage and how they go about the process," said Carla Staresina, Vice-President, Client Relationship Management, CMHC.
"We also now have more insight into important groups like millennials and first time buyers. Ultimately, our hope is to help Canadians get the most out of the mortgage shopping experience."
So before drilling down into the survey results here's some background. It's the largest survey of its kind — an online survey conducted in April of 4,000 recent mortgage consumers, all prime household decision makers who had undertaken a mortgage transaction in the past 12 months.
The CMHC said 68 per cent had renewed their mortgage, 15 per cent had refinanced their mortgage, and 16 per cent had purchased a home with mortgage financing (nine per cent first-time buyers and seven per cent repeat buyers).
The report is very comprehensive but here are some key highlights:
● There are many factors that go into the decision-making of what home to buy. The particular neighbourhood, how close the home is to work, and of course the condition of a home are important factors. But almost twice as many first-time buyers say price/affordability is the most important factor for them;
● Buying a home can feel pretty scary for many people and 37 per cent of home buyers continue to feel concern or uncertainty when buying a home. Of course, affordability continues to be the top concern with more than 50 per cent of concerned buyers worrying about paying too much for their home while nearly one-third worry about rising interest rates and mortgage qualification;
● 85 per cent of first-time buyers spent the most they could afford on their home purchase and 76 per cent are confident they will be able to meet their future mortgage payment obligations;
● The good news is that most people — 60 per cent of first-time buyers — are confident they would have sufficient funds to supplement their needs if they were to run into some financial trouble;
● About 50 per cent of home buyers said they would feel comfortable using more technology to arrange their next mortgage transaction but the majority still agree that it is important to meet face-to-face with their mortgage professional when negotiating and finalizing their mortgage;
● The biggest news in the Canadian residential industry this year has been the tighter mortgage qualification rules that came into effect at the beginning of the year. Many say these rules have eliminated many potential homebuyers in the country. The survey found that 52 per cent of homebuyers were aware of the latest mortgage qualification rules and about one in five first-time buyers said the rules impacted their purchase decision with most opting to decrease non-essential expenses, purchase a less expensive home or use savings to increase their down payment.
● Despite issues of tighter mortgage regulations and affordability concerns, 80 per cent of people said buying a home is a good long-term investment and 66 per cent think the value of their home will increase in the next year;
The makeup of first-time buyers in Canada was quite interesting as they have become an important demographic in the national housing market.
Here is what the CMHC found: 49 per cent of first-time buyers are Millennials (25-34 years old); 40 per cent are married; 80 per cent are employed full-time; 61 per cent purchased a single-detached home; 26 per cent have a household income of $60,000 to $90,000; and 22 per cent are newcomers to Canada.
As we head into the final weeks of 2018, the CMHC has more info to mull over regarding the local housing market. Its fourth quarter Housing Market Assessment for the Calgary census metropolitan area found a "moderate" degree of vulnerability overall.
The report looks at several different factors and assesses the level of risk in each. For overheating, price acceleration and overvaluation the risk was characterized as low but it was high for overheating.
"There continued to be strong evidence of overbuilding as elevated inventory levels persisted in the second quarter of 2018. A substantial number of apartment units are under construction which pose a risk to rising inventory if these units are not timely absorbed," said James Cuddy, senior analyst, economics, for the CMHC.
The report said the number of completed and unsold units per capita increased from the first quarter of 2018, keeping the indicator above the critical threshold for overbuilding and overbuilding is largely being driven by the multiples segment of the market.
A decline in house prices moved prices closer in line with economic and demographic fundamentals, which reinforced low evidence of overvaluation in the market, added the report.
"There are a number of factors impacting demand. In particular, the adult population aged 25 to 34, a proxy for household formation and first-time buyers, declined for the fifth consecutive quarter," said the CMHC.
"This, combined with a relatively high unemployment rate have impacted demand. At the same time, however, real personal disposable income has increased slightly in the second quarter of 2018 by 0.24 per cent on a year- over-year basis. Relatively higher disposable incomes coupled with a decline in home prices moved valuations of the market closer to that estimated by fundamentals."
Also, CMHC said evidence of overheating remained low as the sales-to-new listings ratio declined in the second quarter of 2018 to 40 per cent from 52 per cent in the previous quarter, which was well below the 85 per cent critical threshold. The ratio dropped because of an eight per cent quarter-over-quarter decline in seasonally-adjusted sales combined with an 18 per cent quarter-over-quarter increase in new listings.

People think things ~ We're imaginative sometimes beyond what's good for us. One inflection in the voice, one missed appointment ~ a forgotten acknowledgement and one person's part can set the wheels in motion on the part of the other person. Those wheels can create an entire universe or less spectacularly, a web. A tangled dark place. And then, just as instantaneous as a phone call explaining disburses, vanishes into thin air and sun shines once again.
We are such creative beings, we must take care that the reality we weave in our head coincides with the other person's reality.
Having said this, I'm hoping Mickey Burns isn't weaving.
I missed his pre-taped TV interview today in New York. It was scheduled the day right after Sellersville, a late night show and BB King's tomorrow, April 7th. I got up at 6:30 this morning and made every effort to get the city by 2:00 but to no avail. I asked MJ to see if later was OK--and it wasn't. So it will have to be next time unless..."I'm sure he hates me..." Maybe he thinks I blew it off or couldn't be bothered getting there on time. Of course, I'm weaving.
"The life in my head is killing me" she said.

FOUR STARS – Uplifting
What can we say about a movie with themes of loyalty , friendship, cooperation and love?
What can we say about a movie in which the human foibles of competition, betrayal and mutiny are exposed?
What can we say about a film integrating state-of-the-art cinematography with computer animation of some of the favorite toys of our youth?
What can we say about a film which uses no bad language, no casual sex, no physical violence, and yet clearly speaks of good and evil, right and wrong?
What can we say about a film which appeals to people of all ages earning praise from teenagers, children, adults and grandparents?
JUST THIS: Go and see Disney's new film "TOY STORY".

Gembuds, I am working on incorporating SO2 imagery from OMI within GEMPAK-capable displays, and although I am able to display an image with an appropriate color table enhancement, I am unable to get the color bar to print any values corresponding to the observed value. For example, although infrared imagery on our system will show a grayscale color bar with values 0-255, my color bar does not display any value. In addition, I would like for it to display a value that is correctly matched to the color. Any suggestions on where I should look, or files to modify so that the color bar will display a correctly matched value?

That's up to Samsung, and the Note 8 requires more development as there are additional things to code for. So the S8/S8+ should be finished sooner. Samsung may have beta's available but that's their own internal testing, and not T-Mobile testing to ensure it does no harm to their network, and the features they pay Samsung to add works.

The people who can participate in the beta are selected and with with Samsung on. T-Mobile doesn't control the beta but allows it's customers to participate unlike other us carriers.

I also want to add that the s8 is the older device and has not had a single update since release. The GS9 is also around the corner so Samsung quite literally has to roll out Oreo soon to not anger the S8 owners like myself. All things consider the note 8 is in a good place. I believe it is running 7.1 of Nougat which was very stable and had many benefits over 7.0. I'm sure the note will get the update 4 - 7 months from now.

I'm just glab we have been able to flash these Android Oreo Builds, almost from start to finish, feeling the smoothness, quickness, and snappyness between the older and newer builds, almost 10 to be exact. Ran a Benchmark on each and everyone, and the results you could easily see. They're might not have been a changelog with every......with any of the Oreo Builds, but DEFINITELY WORTH IT TO THOSE TIRED OF WAITING...

garam masala carrots & spiced hummus
A good friend of mine just returned from a trip where she trekked across the Himalayas and was drenched in vibrant colors during the local holiday, Holi that welcomes in Spring each year. She is one of those people that we all slightly envy for her ability to jump on a plane at just about any moment and say yes to all of the amazing travel adventures we all dream of experiencing. Despite tinges of envy that resonate each time I hear of her next adventure to an exotic faraway land, I also love and respect this about her, and wish there was a tad more spontaneity in all of us. Travel is good for the soul, we all need a little more of it! Of course, traveling first hand would surpass the stories I get to hear when she returns, but I'm still grateful for the tips and adventures she shares, and of course the local gifts I receive upon her return. This time around, her travels rewarded me with fresh spices and chai blends; inspiring me to create this recipe of spiced garam masala carrots and fresh hummus. This a great spring salad. The carrots are dusted with vibrant spices, and lightly broiled to add a bit of char and character while maintaining their fresh and crunchy integrity.
Garam masala is a traditional spice blend that is commonly found in Northern India and other South Asian countries. Its content varies depending on its origin, but a typical Indian version may contain peppercorns, cloves, cumin, cardamom, and cinnamon. The spices are toasted whole until aromatic and then ground into a fine powder. In Hindi, garam means "hot" and masala means "spice", with the use of the word garam referring to the intensity of the spice rather than its capsaicin heat content. Garam masala is a very aromatic spice with a mildly sweet flavor. Like all spices, garam masala contains many powerful micronutrients and antioxidants, and thus lends both flavor and nutritional benefits while cooking.
Garam Masala Roasted Carrots
Serve warm with spiced hummus, sliced avocado and arugula.
- 1 bunch organic carrots, greens trimmed
- 1 t garam masala
- 1 T olive oil
- salt to taste
Wash carrots and peel if desired. Depending on the size of each carrot, slice in half or quarters lengthwise. Place on a baking sheet, and drizzle with olive oil, garam masala and salt. Rub the spices into the carrots. Turn oven to broil and place oven rack about 2" below the flame. Broil for approximately 8 minutes. This cooking time will vary depending on the intensity and strength of the flame, so check carrots every 2 minutes, turning them at least once. Remove when they begin to brown and char.
Spicy Chickpea Hummus
- 1 can organic chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1/4 c organic tahini
- 1/4 c olive oil
- zest and juice of 1 lime
- 1 T hot sauce
- 1/2 t salt
Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. For a silky smooth consistency, push the hummus through a fine mesh strainer to remove any large chunks and outer husk of chickpeas. I was wanting to make a harissa hummus, but was unable to find harissa at the time I was creating this recipe. I used Siracha, but feel free to use any hot sauce you have on hand.

Today I'm up bright and early, ready to hit the road towards Ithaca, NY with Matt Clevy, Fault Line Theatre's Director of Communications. After several weeks of rehearsal and months of planning, From White Plains begins it's latest reincarnation at The Kitchen Theatre with the same cast and design team from our previous run in New York City.
Tonight, Matt and I will be attending the opening performance and reception. I've seen this show close to 100 times (literally), yet each time I see it I discover something new: sometimes I'm moved by an unexpected moment, other times a passage of writing jumps out at me in a way I never noticed. I think that is one of the joys of great theatre: when all the elements of drama (acting, design, writing, etc.) are functioning together cohesively to tell a poignant story, it can never get old.
Happy opening! And I'll see you in Ithaca!

We're bringin' it back! In the Week 4 Challenge we had a 3 week challenge put on the table. Here were the rules:
I want you to think about a physical goal you have for yourself; a weight you want to be, a race you want to run, a number of pushups you want to do, it can be anything. Here's the challenge, go there, get it, do it. Set your vision, your intention and then set a daily goal for yourself. The goal should increase over the next 3 weeks (i.e. start with 10 push ups a day and in week 3 50!) Do IT (whatever your IT is) EVERY day for the next 21 days! This challenge will get you closer to your goal and Commit to YOU!
My Experience
Okay, so I'm layin' it all out! here. 21 days is a LONGGGGG time! On day one I was ready to call it quits. Today is day 15, I'm done on the 15th of the month, my birthday, and I'm SO excited! I have to say the past week has been challenging. I've not been AS committed as I was in week one. I've had some organic raw nuts, some dried fruit that I didn't really NEED to have and I haven't been having the full number of shakes per day. And last Friday night I did indulge in a couple of glasses of wine. All in all not bad, but not exceptional exceptional either. For these last 7 days I'm committing to give my absolute best. I'm following the rules one raw/steamed organic vegetable meal and all 4 herbal shakes with all the best!
Let's Do This!
Whatever you committed to in Week 4 it's time to focus HARD CORE! Commit to be your absolute best for these last 7 days! Whatever it takes, it's GO time.
Like I always say, it's NOT just about our bods, or our jobs, or our relationships, our financial circumstance…it's a confidence in it ALL! This week you'll be making yourself proud knowing that you're doing your BEST!

Tunzamunni Progressive
If you want to play a simple, easy, fun and enjoyable slot that offers you the chance of a progressive jackpot payout, while retaining all the characteristics of retro slot gaming, then you need to check out the appropriately named Tunzamunni Progressive slot.
The slot may sound like it has been named after the Mexican god of fortune or something similar, but what the slot offers is simple, fast-paced slot gaming, with the added allure of a top progressive jackpot prize available if you can hit the right combination at the right time.
What is great about Tunzamunni is that it is a progressive slot that appeals to lower stakes players. There are not too many of these around, so it is something of a rarity for players who don't want to wager a huge amount, to be able to have a chance of winning a big sum of money on a progressive. Spins start from just 0.05 but you can win the progressive with a max bet of just 0.25, which means Tunzamunni is one of the best value progressive slots available today.
The slot itself is a very simple 3-reel slot with just the single payline in operation, hence the relatively small wagering amounts. The size of the coins you can wager within the game is set at 0.05, but you can wager up to five coins on every spin.
|Amount Won
|118,932.54 (Total)
For lovers of old style retro gaming, Tunzamunni is as close as it gets to a traditional style, one-armed bandit game that was such a feature of the 1970s and early 80s. There are only two different symbols on the reels, bars and sevens, which again hearkens back to the early days of slot gaming.
However, how the bars are organised does vary. There are single bars, double bars and triple bars across the reels. In addition to this, there are three different colours of the number 7 on the reels, A white 7, a blue 7 and a red 7.
One other thing to note is that on the slots are empty spaces, which are exactly that. They do not contain a symbol and you cannot win anything by lining up empty space slots on the payline.
One feature that more experienced players may wish to use is the Autoplay feature, which allows you to enter a predetermined number of spins that you wish the game to play for. Once selected, you can then do something else, while the program completes your number of spins for you. All payouts are automatically added to your account, so you'll never miss a win even if you are not focusing on what is happening on screen.
What is particularly appealing about Tunzamunni is how the machine pays out. Again, this is kept very simplistic with payouts starting at any three bar symbols across the main payline paying out 6 x your original wager.
Bars pay the lower amounts in the game with wins of up to 200 coins available using three triple bar symbols across a payline with the full 5 coins wagered. The 7's are the higher symbols in the game and 3 sevens of any colour will pay you out 80 times your stake.
Land three blue 7s and you win 160 times your stake, 3 red sevens is 200 times your stake and 3 white sevens and you win 1,000 times your stake.
The big jackpot wins however come when you land one white, one red and one blue seven across the payline in that order. Then each of your wins is 2,500 times your initial bet, unless you have wagered the full amount of five coins.
If you have then you could be celebrating big time as this is the way to trigger the progressive jackpot win, which will immediately be paid into your account before resetting back to its initial seed value, ready to grow into another monster pot for the next player to win.
What you then have here is a slot that combines the elements of old slot gaming, with the new. The look, style and feel of the slot may well hark back to pre-internet days, or even the days before electronic slots were popular in the casinos and arcades around the world. Everything about the slot screams like it has come from the 1960s or 1970s.
However, while it is a retro-style slot, the game has enough variance and the addition of a progressive jackpot which drags it kicking and screaming right up to date in the 21st Century.
What Tunzamunni lacks in bonus game features, Wilds, Scatters, Bonus symbols and free spins, it makes up for in being a slot that is true to the simple tradition of slots, combined with a Progressive jackpot that often offers a life changing amount when won. That, combined with being one of the cheapest progressives to play, makes Tunzamunni well worth giving a spin.

The main difference between monophasic and triphasic birth control is monophasic has the same level of hormones in all of the active pills, while triphasic has three different doses of hormones, according to WebMD. Some examples of monophasic, or one-phase pills include Yaz, Alesse and Ortho-cyclen. Examples of triphasic birth control include Ortho Tri-cyclen and Enpresse.
With triphasic pills, the dosage of hormones in the medication changes every 7 days over a 3-week period. Triphasic birth control is often more difficult to take because the instructions for taking this medication are very different than for monophasic birth control. When taking triphasic birth control, it is important not to begin taking a pack too late because it can increase the chances of pregnancy .

Not ImpressedI got this bag in the spring as a replacement to my other larger bag. It is very small and cannot carry much . I could live with that as it forces me to bring less stuff , but the fake leather is peeling off the handles and this morning my zipper broke. These bags are relatively expensive and I have been very disappointed, I take good care of my things and it should last more than 6 months. Time to find a new company to provide my bags!

Caveat Emptor
Today's subtle reminder is targeted for the younger gentlemen. Women know this intuitively. Boys do not.
Regardless whether you live in the northern or southern hemisphere the weather is changing. For convenience sake I'll focus on the northern hemisphere's drift into spring, but the same rules apply if your down there somewhere.
By now you've grown tired of last season's clothes, so with a spring in your step and coin in your pocket you feel a want to update your wardrobe to accommodate the coming season. This is right and just, but pay attention. No one is out to getcha, everything is in plain sight, I'm warning you not to fall for something pretty without looking.
Every garment sold has a care label sewn onto it. Before buying that shirt or pair of pants, find the label,
If you normally launder your shirts and pants hoping the wrinkles will fall out on their own and the care label says dry clean only, you are going to be sorely disappointed when the washer ruins your clothing, and there is little value for money if your new favorite outfit spends more time at the cleaners than in your closet. Especially if you visit the cleaners less often than the dentist.
Most garments are OK, but be especially watchful when shopping on EBAY and for anything, especially Spring pants with a bit of silk in it.
Labels: care labels, linen, silk, spring shopping

I don't know that anyone knows this instinctively...women my age were taught by our mothers. I suspect the reason so many store sell 'disposable' clothing these days is no one knows how to launder anything anymore.

I just read about a supposed care label on an Australia blog that said 'Give it to your woman. It's her job.'
I used to buy work clothes with the dry clean label, wear them carefully and dry clean a couple of times until I felt I had my purchase price worth of use. Then I would handwash an item and generally work my way up to throwing it in the cold, delicate wash cycle. I only ever lost one pair of trousers and probably saved thousands in dry cleaning bills.

Paul Ryan knocks Democrats for having 'purged' platform reference to 'God'
Republican running mate Paul Ryan criticized Democrats Wednesday for having "purged" the word "God" from their official platform, calling the move "peculiar" as Democrats downplayed the omission.
"I think it's rather peculiar. It's not in keeping with our founding documents, our founding vision, but I guess you'd have to ask the Obama administration why they purged all this language from their platform," Ryan said in an interview with Fox News.
He was among several conservatives complaining after the official party platform was adopted late Tuesday at the Democratic convention in Charlotte, N.C.
The Democrats' 2008 platform, like platforms before it, included the word "God."
It said: "We need a government that stands up for the hopes, values, and interests of working people, and gives everyone willing to work hard the chance to make the most of their God-given potential."
The 2012 platform did not use the word. A similar section said: "We gather to reclaim the basic bargain that built the largest middle class and the most prosperous nation on Earth -- the simple principle that in America, hard work should pay off, responsibility should be rewarded, and each one of us should be able to go as far as our talent and drive take us."
Democrats rejected the notion that the omission was a sign the party was ignoring faith.
One Democratic official told Fox News that the 2008 reference was about growing the middle class, and not about faith, and noted the new platform includes an entire plank on the importance of faith-based groups. The official noted that the platform repeatedly uses words like "faith" and "religion" and church."
Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., in an interview with Fox News, vigorously rejected criticism of the platform, and said both parties are "devoted to this country" and "God-fearing" and urged people to move on.
"Those of us who believe in God and those of us who have dedicated our lives to helping others in the name of God don't want to take a second seat to anyone who is suggesting that one word out of the platform means the Democrats across America are godless," he said.
Religious conservatives, though, took exception to the party's new language.
Maureen Ferguson, an adviser with The Catholic Association, called it evidence of "the hostility President Obama and the Democratic Party establishment have toward religion and people of faith."

Whether you've chosen to have children or live child-free, how and when did you (or will you) reach this decision? If you're in a relationship, did you (or will you) decide separately or together?
I'm single and I feel that, for me, it's only appropriate that I'm childless. If I ever get married, my husband and I will make the decision about children. If in the unlikely event that I got married anytime soon, I'd have to lean towards adoption, mainly because I inherited a lot of bad genes, and I really don't want to pass those on. Then there's my history of clinical depression -- the possibility of postpartum psychosis scares me. Basically, my husband would have to do a lot of convincing to get me to have kids with him.
Then again, I once had a dream I was pregnant, and I felt absolute joy in the dream. So maybe he wouldn't have to do that much convincing.
A couple of weeks ago, Mom said that if I'm going to remain childfree, I should look into sponsoring one of those poor kids you see on TV through Catholic Relief Services or one of those other charities. I was surprised to hear her say that, but considering I'm thirtysomething, she knows that most of my childbearing years are behind me. Besides, she already has four grandkids, and both my brothers might have more kids in the future.

|Flying Scot Fleet 97 is based at The West River Sailing Club in Galesville, Maryland and has been a part of that club's one-design racing program since 1979. The club's central location to Baltimore and Washington, D.C. make it an easy commute for its members.
|Although only 15 miles south of Annapolis by road, the West River is several light years away from the crowded conditions that routinely turn weekend events on the Severn River into a turf war.
|The location also puts us within easy reach of other clubs on the bay that sponsor Flying Scot events, as well as a convenient spot for trailering to national events of the Flying Scot Sailing Association.
|The Flying Scot Sailboat has proved to be a ideal boat in which to realize the many benefits of the WRSC racing program. The boat is so well suited to the conditions on the West River that the club elected to use the Scot for our adult sailing school. The boat is stable as well as fast, and can easily be raced by a husband and wife team. The fleet has several members who have proved that, yes, married couples can race together, and not only enjoy it, but keep up with the competition. In fact, the Scot is the only class that conducts a separate championship regatta for married couples, and the event, the Wife/Husband Championship, routinely attracts 40 to 50 boats every year.
|Fleet 97 also enjoys a diverse schedule of sailing events sponsored by the club. There is racing from May to October for all levels of experience, from beginner to expert. A typical season will include six days of summer series racing, with three races each day, usually on Sunday afternoons. These races are well attended by both the beginners and experienced sailors in the fleet, and as a result, sailors new to racing can use these races as a gauge to measure their progress. There are also several club invitational regattas scheduled that will attract other Flying Scot sailors. That will provide a good opportunity to test your speed against Scot sailors from other clubs on the Bay. And finally, for a true test of your skills, there are the Association events, including the Capitol District Championship, Midwinter Championship, North American Championship, and Wife/Husband Championship. Some of the countries top sailors are in the Flying Scot Class and the competition at these events is at the highest level.
|So, if you are interested in one-design racing, come to WRSC and check out Fleet 97's program. For those new to the game, take some lessons in our adult sailing school. You'll have fun and get familiar with the Scot at the same time, and the price is right. If you're already an experienced racer, you'll find plenty of good competition.
|For information regarding the Flying Scot at West River Sailing Club, contact the Fleet Captain.

This weekend, hubby and I are taking a really quick trip to Orlando to celebrate my very fabulous friend`s big birthday; in Disney World, to be exact (and I`m totally giddy!) But I am the world`s worst packer, particularly when it comes to shorter trips. Try as I might, I normally wind up packing a luggage, an actual full-sized luggage, for most one- or two-day getaways, even when the luggage is barely filled. This weekend, I`m determined to pack only the essentials in a throw-in-the-backseat carryall, more specifically: the weekender bag. I have an older version of the Deux Lux Sequin Weekender Bag, but it`s beginning to get a bit worse for wear it`s a sad sad day when the sequins start to fall off of anything, really. So I`m eying a few of these luxe new weekender bag styles torn between a rich-looking leather duffel and something a bit more funky and colorful. Do you have a go-anywhere weekender or duffel bag that you swear by?
By the way, be sure to check out my post on nothing but sequin weekender bags (updated in 2014)!
The Weekenders: 1. Deux Lux Sequin Berlin Weekender Bag // 2.Marc by Marc Jacobs Preppy Nylon Pearl Weekender // 3. Deux Lux Striped Raleigh Weekender Bag (Also, try the Key Largo Weekender, the striped Baha Weekender, or the Striped + Sequined Weekender) // 4.Sole Society Cassidy Weekender Bag // 5. Sam Edelman Marais Alix Weekender Duffel Bag // 6. CLARE VIVIER Adam Weekender
