Email Accounts : Allows you to create e-mail accounts, define passwords and quotas for them. You can separately manage the e-mail accounts for a chosen domain.
SpamAssassin : is an automated email filtering system that attempts to identify spam messages based on the content of the email's headers and body.
WebMail : cPanel webmail allows you to access the webmail programs (Horde, Squirrelmail and RoundCube) included in cPanel. You can read your emails through a web browser.
Auto Responders :setting auto responder emails.
Forwarders : using e-mail forwarders will allow you to send copies of all your messages from one e-mail account to another. You can also send the messages from all the accounts with one domain to the corresponding ones with another domain.
Default Address : this feature will "catch" all the mails that are sent to an invalid email address for your domain.
User Level Filtering : here you can manage filters for each user. Each user's filter is processed after the main account filters.
Account Level Filtering : allows you to manage the filters for the main account. There you can also test the existing filters.
Import Addresses/Forwarders : allows you to import e-mail addresses or forwarders from Excel spreadsheet files (.xls) or comma-separated values sheet files (.csv).
MX Entry : you can change the MX records for your domain and define on which server to deliver the messages.
Email Authentication : this tool allows to include additional details in the messages' headers so they can be automatically recognized by the recipients as legitimate e-mails. Such techniques are the DKIM and SPF records.
SEO Friendly Sub Domains : Subdomains are created for sub accounts within a master account. To create a sub domain you can always use your existing domain and replace the "www" part with another prefix. These are accessed as separate URLs. Let's say you have a sub domain called "jobs" on your master account "mydomain.com". So the "jobs" sub account is accessed with "jobs.mydomain.com" URL.
Keep in mind that, you do not create a new cPanel when you create a subdomain, but you can still perform most administrative functions for the subdomain through your master cPanel. A subdomain becomes a sub folder within the public_html level of your account and has its own cgi-bin directory. All files of "jobs" should go inside of a new top-level folder called "jobs". This folder must also contain a separate home file e.g.index.htm. When the sub domain URL is entered in the browser, the home page (or index page) of the public and reminder will be displayed.
Add-on Domains : Add-ons are created within your cPanel and they point towards subdomains. It is much like hosting multiple domains where all these domains share the same cPanel account.
For example: your main domain is domain.com your additional domain names: jobs.com | timber.com.
jobs.com will be pointed to jobs.domain.com (note jobs.com will remain in your web browser's address bar), timber.com will be pointed to timber.domain.com (note timber.com will remain in your web browser's address bar)
As mentioned in the above example, this type of domain comes forth as separate domains from your main domain.
Parked Domains / Domain Aliases : Parked domains are domains which point to your main domain and display the same website returned by your main domain. This type of domain is mostly used for advertising purposes making them popular among businesses where more web addresses are required merely for advertising.
For example: Let's say you have hosted "jobs.com" and now you are parking a new domain jobs.net under jobs.com. After doing so whenever you enter your parked domain name "jobs.net" in the browser, it will display the pages of jobs.com. But notice the URL, it is jobs.net.
Privacy Protection for Domains : This is a service that provides protection to the domain owner's personal information. Since your personal contact information becomes visible in the public WHOIS database whenever you register a domain, it could be a threat to your privacy. With privacy protection the registrant is basically protected from spammers or identity thieves who would use your personal information for personal gain or unrequested purposes.
Web Based Control Panel : Customers can easily manage different hosting services from a single, easily useable interface.
cPanel : cPanel has the reputation for being the only trusted commercially available control panel by America's leading hosting providers making it our best choice. Not only that, cPanel is used as it compliments the services offered by us. It also provides the tools needed for you to easily carry out your work with security, power and control.
Web Based File Manager : File manipulation is made easy with file manager tools as they provide the user with an easy to use and easy to understand interface. Different file formats could be handled successfully and it is a good alternative to the widely popular FTP client.
Web Based Website/HTML Editor : A WYSIWYG editor with FTP and site manager features built in is the ideal web based HTML editor to use. By using such an editor you can achieve rich editing of input text, security, upload multiple files and keep your site automatically dashing.
24×7 FTP Account : It is absolutely necessary to have access to File Transfer Protocol (FTP) in order to work with your account, as it allows you to upload files on to your website. We provide 24 hours a day and 7 days of the week with FTP access to ALL our accounts.
AWstats Detailed Website Statistics : cPanel offers AWSTATS, which gives you the ability to gather statistics about visitors who access your website. Details about the numbers are updated every 24 to 36 hours and it happens pretty quickly when the link for update is clicked. With this tool you can gain knowledge of other aspects which could be important to the growth of your website.
Raw Access Logs : This is another feature where all cPanel uses have accsess to and it provides information about visitors and traffic your website. Information about user agents, IP addresses, HTTP activity, resources accessed by each visitor and a lot more are included in the raw access log and are constantly updated.
Bandwidth Meter : The amount of bandwidth for the website being hosted is important. More traffic can be handled well if you have more band width.
100% White Label Nameservers (100% White Labeled DNS) : Each IP will come with its own separate 100% white labeled nameservers in case if you don't like to setup your own private name servers. Unlike other SEO hosting providers that use the same domain/sub-domain for Nameservers, each of our white labeled nameservers comes with a separate domain that is that is registed using private WHOIS.
Private Name Servers ( Private DNS Servers) : Private name servers are your own DNS name servers, for example ns1.yourdomain.com and ns2.yourdomain.com in addition to they being branded to your domain the private nameserver that we set up are Our 100% white labeled for search engines. Our SEO Plans each private nameserver comes with its own C-Class IP so it would be completely anonymous to search engines.

There's a Song in the Air
This Christmas series, There's a Song in the Air, will help prepare listeners to fully embrace the joy of Christmas and the powerful theological basis for many of our Christmas hymns. Joy to the World was not originally written to be sung only at Christmas. In this message we learn that three men contributed to this great hymn: Isaac Watts, George Frederick Handel and Lowell Mason. The words and theology of this hymn are rooted in Psalm 98. This Psalm describes the many reasons for rejoicing in our God and the faithfulness of our God to send our Messiah, Jesus. There are striking similarities between Psalm 98 and Mary's Magnificat in Luke 2. It's possible that Mary had Psalm 98 in mind as she sang her song of praise. There are striking similarities between the four stanzas of Joy to the World and the three stanzas of Psalm 98. Listeners will be once more filled with joy at the faithfulness of God and will most likely sing with deeper fervor the words of Joy to the World as a result of hearing this message.

Gallery 9 is pleased to present Partly Altered Aperture, the second exhibition at the gallery by Melbourne artist Alice Wormald.
In Partly Altered Aperture, Wormald continues her practice of using found imagery and collage as source material for oil paintings. For this exhibition, she encircles views of landscapes with arrangements of cut-out shapes. These shapes enclose the central subject to create the impression of an aperture. Each painting offers a secret glimpse through to unnamed worlds of trees, rocks, forests and deserts.
The initial impression is one of naturalism and pictorial depth, but close looking shows each landscape to be no more than a scissored fragment. Wormald's paintings are complete facsimiles of her paper collages, even down to the recording of printing effects. She pays close attention to details unique to the reproduction, such as the colours of inks and the textures of paper. At the same time as being seduced forward into the space of the aperture, we regard these flat, subtly variegated surfaces of the printed artefact.
Wormald's paintings are the final renderings of images mediated by the processes of photography, printing and collage. Her landscapes are made metaphorically distant by the slippages in each stage of reproduction. Like a smudged lens, reality is gradually altered and obscured. Her intervention with the scissors is the most manipulative and wilfully abstract. Fragments from one or several images are placed side by side, deliberately confusing our reading of positive and negative space. She forces a disrupted and engaged mode of looking, where the eye moves forward and back, constantly falling into and out of the picture plane. Always toying with our perception of space as stable and recessive, Wormald presents a view of nature that is fragmented, magical and enigmatic.
Alice Wormald (b. 1987) lives and works in Melbourne. Since graduating from the Victorian College of the Arts in 2011, she has held seven solo exhibitions and participated in group shows, including: Imagine, Gippsland Art Gallery (2018), Gardening is not a rational act, c3 Contemporary Art Space, Melbourne (2017), Visiting Painting, Horsham Regional Art Gallery (2016) and Imagined Worlds at Town Hall Gallery, Melbourne (2016). Wormald has been a finalist in numerous prizes including the Bayside Acquisitive Art Prize (2017), City of Albany Art Prize (2016, 2015), John Leslie Art Prize (2016, 2014 – Highly Commended and 2012) and the Geelong Contemporary Art Prize (2014). Her work is held in the Gippsland Art Gallery, Darebin City Council and the Joyce Nissan Collections.

In this video, learn how the URL loading system is the suite of classes and protocols provided by Apple in the iOS SDK for network or server communication from an app on an iOS device out. It provides the means for connecting to servers over the internet and uploading data or parameters, download data as well as managing cookies, caching, and authentication.
- [Instructor] In the first chapter of this series we're going to be talking about the Apple provided URL loading system. There's a few things we want to point out as we get started. One thing, it's provided in the foundation framework by Apple. It's automatically imported into your project, so there's nothing extra you need to do after you create your project. Also, it supports the main protocols of FTP, HTTP, and HTTPS, also FILE, and DATA. They key classes of the URL loading system are URLSession, URL, and URLRequest, the tasks, and the Data that we'll be using to create all of our server queries.
It allows for closures to be able to hand over the responses or delegates. Also, the URL loading system supports authentication and credential, caching, and cookies. The URL loading system can handle background downloads for any content updates from the service side for your app. A couple of resource we want to point out are the URL loading system website, which you can read about the details of the URL loading system and its classes, specifically the NSURLSession class, that primarily handles the service side requests and response handling.
Also, the Apple developer documentation provides a good overview of the URL loading system. Also, it's a good idea to keep up to date on what's available from Apple, at their developer website.
- Fetching data
- Managing text, JSON, and binary data
- Downloading files to the file system
- Request and response handling with Alamofire
- Encoding parameters
- Uploading and downloading files
- Reporting upload and download progress

I found that one of the users of Dreamhost, or rather, their site- has a bunch of graphics, made by me on their website without permission, and they've said that they have created them. I just recently discovered this, so if someone could provide any help in getting the graphics off, I would apperciate it. And yes, I have contacted the owner of the site, but was ignored.
Apologies if this is in the wrong board.

I have shown homes from the company called Light Locations before on the blog. This agency in England is in the business of providing amazing locations for the tv and film industry....and do they ever have the most inspiring places to shoot! This stunning Victorian home has five bedrooms, three bathrooms and many spacious living areas that would be a dream live in. The mouldings, floors and wall detail are all so incredible you don't need much furniture to bring out the best in this home. Today I am just showing the living spaces and tomorrow I will feature the bedrooms and bathrooms. Too much beauty to stuff into one post!

Importer Note:
Clos des Papes is one of the great established names of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and in recent years has produced a succession of remarkable wines made by Paul-Vincent Avril.
For the red Chateauneuf, Clos des Papes uses up to 20% of Mourvedre in the blend. Grenache and Syrah are the other main components at around 50% and 10% respectively, with the balance being a mix of all the other permitted varieties. Clos des Papes is one of the few estates to use all permitted varieties for both red and white Chateauneuf. They are well-known for producing one of the most authentic and long-lived examples of the appellation having started estate bottling in 1896. The white Chateauneuf-du-Pape also ages extremely well providing great drinking pleasure for 20 years or more. It is made from almost equal percentages of all the permitted white varieties. The property has today 32 ha. 3 ha. is with white varieties. 24 different parcels are spread around the town. A parcel is nearby the pope's castle and has been surrounded by walls (clos). From here came the name of the domain. These wines are very limited and always in high demand.

Age of Mythology was a huge part of my childhood. It was one of the two games that ruined me for Starcraft when I finally bought a friend's copy. The music, the story, and the unit responses are all ingrained somewhere deep into my mind. I knew that there was a board game, but had never followed up on it. But then… Continue reading

The best way to get someone to buy a game is to have their friends playing it. Speedrunners is entirely one of those games, as I picked it up quickly on sale after watching my friends play on stream. The game is Early Access but I really think it could go somewhere to be an indie darling multiplayer game.

title: THE WALKING PROJECT
keywords: storytelling, narrative, installation, responsive environment, experience design
The project is an individual project made as part of the Art and Technology BA-study during Fall 2011.
The Walking Project has its thematic and theoretical background in narration in various media, where the geographic landscape and the urban environment of the area in question was taken as starting points [inspiration from psychogeography and soundwalks]. Narratives (stories of representants of various user groups in the area) arise in forms of reflections and associations during the [pre-designed] walking interviews that I was doing with eight focus group persons during October-November 2011.
The final installation can be described as a responsive story-teller apparatus that invites one to a versatile universe – an imaginary walk – of Aalborg East, where the user is exposed to a series of sensorial experiences in forms of audible and visual impacts, moreover in forms of messages (stories) of the oral language-type.
The goal of the piece is to gather and mediate these narratives in a form that results in an informative and aesthetic multisensory user experience different from the experience gained from more traditional and/or 'single genre' forms, as e.g. news media, newspaper article or a documentary movie (just to mention a few).
The project is accomplished in collaboration with Project 9220 [9220.dk].
Working document
Project 9220 is a social-cultural initiative for tenants of various housing associations situated in Aalborg Øst (East) aiming at activation, integration, education and family life. The staff of project 9220 consists of employees and volunteers, who additionally to their daily tasks wish to change the very dominant and negative media representation of the area. The seek projects that break the negative image and bring new and positive narratives to life. The Walking Project operates with both kinds of narratives, with a humanly approach. It aims at presenting various aspects of life in Aalborg East without judging and misleading according to the factual information.
Here stories of various main themes are being represented:
- youngsters in the area – and how to use their spare time, the lack of a youth club and/or similar facility. These young people are having a hard time finding activities for their leisure time, and according to some of the interviewees this is one of the reasons for vandalism in the area.
- the missing cultural and free time activities; such as cinema, concerts, workshops, cafés, etc.
- old traditions: This topic is related to specific places and buildings, but also to events
- regarding health care in the area - shopping in the area: There are almost no shops, only supermarkets, and there is a general wish for opening new local shops. On the other hand people are in doubt about if new shops – and mostly the small shops with a special profile – could survive financially in the area.
- nature: Having many green areas is a rare thing in Aalborg, and inhabitants of the district Aalborg East are generally grateful for having these frames. Some even emphasise it as living in a 'healthy Aalborg East'.
- family: According to several interviewees Aalborg East is a family district with focus on facilities for the whole family and low prices. On the other hand it is also said that families having a hard time finding activities during the cold, dark and short winter days, as most of the facilities are only available during summer.
- multicultural environment and social integration: These topics are represented in all of the conversations I had with my participants. In some more latent than in others. Most of the interviewees are emphasising the positive sides of these and mean that in Aalborg East there is a 'place for everyone' (as it is also the slogan of the organisation Project 9220). Though some problematic observations are also represented, such as the challenges regarding the successful social integration of New Danes. Also it is mentioned that many of these citizens are moving to Aalborg East, because they could not survive in other districts. Here they are welcome, so the area is giving them a so-called last chance, but their social integration demands hard work from a series of social workers, e.g. employees of Project 9220.

Let my meditation be pleasing to Him; As for me, I shall be glad in the LORD. Psalm 104:34 NASB
My coffee brews too fast. What? That's a sentence I never thought I would say.
Instead of using my drip coffee maker all the time, sometimes I actually like to put on the kettle and have a "cup-a" instant coffee or hot tea. While the water boils, I sit on the worn rug in the entryway of my house with streaks of sunshine dancing across my face.
In my haste for caffeine, I discovered that one burner heats the kettle much faster. It's only a few minutes before the slow rattle and full blown whistle comes from the spout. If you have an old-fashioned kettle, you know the whistle is loud enough to shock the senses and wake the neighbors.
In this fast moving world, faster coffee or tea sounds better as I'm rushing for the door each morning.
What if, for just a day, I decide that while the water heats I'll sit quietly with my God and try and recharge my soul before the day breaks loose? What if, before my coffee break, I take a "soul break"?
Sitting for just a few moments soaking in the sunshine, stretching my tired muscles, and doing nothing is a luxury – even for a few moments. I know my whole day is better when I take a 5, 10, or 15 minute Soul Break in the morning.
It's the time in the day when I can have a conversation with Jesus. My Soul Break is the place to praise God and ask Him the tough questions. It's a brief respite where I stop long enough to draw near to Jesus and hear what he has to say. Sometimes I marinate or meditate on a single verse of scripture. Other times I just sit and wait. The real goal of the Soul Break is listening. Wait for what you ask? It's taking the time to wait for and hear that Voice. To hear that still small voice deep inside my gut. The Voice that guides me. If I'm attuned to the Voice, it controls my thoughts, emotions, and actions for the day.
Do you need some help sitting still and taking your Soul Break? Author Emily P. Freeman has a great resource to get you started. For free you can access Seven Days of Still Moments. Each recording is under 5 minutes. You can listen on the computer or download to your phone. This is a great place to start if you want help creating the habit of a "Soul Break".

text: The names Sam Butterfass and Café Steam are synonymous to those who know the two; it's symbiotic, mutualistic. After hours, coffees and acoustic guitars and voices all have the chance to flow freely. Will's setting up and cracking jokes, Emily's shooting, Isaac's tweeting—all is right in the world. This is also the time where Sam is at his most candid. It's all in the late nights, the glasses shielding tired eyes, the streetlights above. Like the coffee, the music is smooth and rich and everything it's made to be.

Mango maniaJune 16,2018
Indian Ambassador to Korea Vikram Doraiswami, center, and models pose with mangoes from India at Emart's Seongsu branch in eastern Seoul on Friday to launch a promotion. At 15 Emart stores, including the Yongsan branch in central Seoul and the Jayang branch in eastern Seoul, customers can receive a free mango if they post a photo of Indian mangos on Instagram over the weekend. Korea began importing Indian mangoes last year. [PARK SANG-MOON]

In a hurry? Here are the best products at a glance.
Believe it or not, there's actually a really wide variety when it comes to bowie knives. Whether you want something to serve you well around the house or you want a knife to use for emergency survival, we have good news. We researched a variety of products and put together this bowie knife buying guide to help you find the right one for your needs. Before we get started, let's take a look at some of the important features you should know.
Length: The length you see here is the length of the blade. We included the total length in the descriptions when we could but we figured, when it comes to knives, the length of the blade is one of the most important details.
Blade Material: Blade material varies a bit. Almost all of these blades are made of some kind of stainless steel. Most have been treated for corrosion protection or coated with something like titanium for added strength and durability.
Sheath Included: All of these knives come with a sheath. First of all, a sheath really is the best way to protect the blade and stay safe. Plus, there really isn't another way to easily carry a knife like this around.
Handle Material: These handles vary a lot! We found knives with handles made of everything from wood to rubber to plastic to bone. Grip is one of the most important things so make sure you get a handle with a good one.
Edge: Most of these knives have a straight edge but some do have some serrated sections. Another thing that shows up a lot is a sawbuck back. If a knife has one, you'll find it noted in the description.
Warranty: Warranties really vary, too. We weren't able to find any warranty information on a few of these knives, unfortunately, but we're happy to say that quite a few of these come with lifetime warranties. Check into the warranty details before you buy.
Now that you know a little bit more about what to look for, let's take a look at the next part of our guide. If you're in a hurry, make sure you check out our first and second bowie knife review. Those are our top and budget pick and the best way to get an idea of the range that's available. Stick around if you can, all of these knives are so different, they each deserve a look. All right, let's get started.

New Delhi: Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor starrer 'Stree' has emerged a box office winner. The horror-comedy and has been well received by the audience as well as critics and the 'Stree' team has all the reasons to smile. The film did better than expected on its opening day and continues to rake in moolah at the box office.
Noted film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the collections on Twitter.
He wrote, "#Stree is back in form on fourth Sat… [Week 4] Fri 1.51 cr, Sat 2.05 cr. Total: ₹ 116.23 cr. India biz."
Right from when the trailer unveiled, the movie had created quite a buzz. Be it the unique storyline, foot-tapping songs and incredible performances by the actors, the film is a super-hit already!
The film also stars Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurana and Abhishek Banerjee in supporting roles and has been helmed by Amar Kaushik.
After such immense success, we wonder if the film will have a sequel. Talking about the same, Rajkummar Rao had earlier told PTI,"We are putting serious thought behind the sequel. There is definitely a thought. There are a couple of ideas that Raj and DK were thinking about but we wanted to know how people will respond to the film. The response has been overwhelming. So, we are keeping our fingers crossed,"

Also, if you need a bit of a pick me up ahead of episode 5, Emilia Clarke is personally really excited about it.
What bothers me most about this season is how, as I see it, the story seems negatively impacted by budgetary decisions.
Throwing the Dothraki and Ghost out into the night for a suicide attack against the walkers makes zero plot or strategic sense, and it makes me consider that they wanted to avoid the cost of another prolonged cavalry battle scene like the Battle of the Bastards. It did also serve to speed the plot along and get the walkers into Winterfell, but it rubbed me the wrong way that they were just removed from the episode because they were an expensive inconvenience.
The darkness in E3 that everyone has been commenting on also serves the same purpose. The harder it is to see anything, the less background action there needs to be. So in this giant battle that has been building up for 10 years, I tend to agree with people who feel that we have been robbed of some good action.
Similar to the darkness serving to limit the amount of action required, quickly moving the battle into the courtyards and hallways of Winterfell essentially bottle-necked the action, limiting the scope and complexity of the scenes. I'm not too critical of this aspect, since most of the scenes were well done and served to advance the plot, but the speed at which they forced the action into the confinement of Winterfell kind of reduced the feeling of imposing doom that the sight of the walkers crossing the wall at the end of S7 created. I had the same complaint about the final battle scene in Harry Potter, where they constricted the fighting into a small courtyard and the hallways of Hogwarts, when Rowling's original narrative, while much grander, would have been easily translated to film.
Poor Ghost. The internet is rightly upset that Jon didn't even give him a proper goodbye when he has Tormund agree to take Ghost north with him. And again, I see it as a budgetary decision influencing the story. It would have put a much higher price tag on the scene for Jon to actually interact with the CGI-enhanced wolf, but it would have been a much better scene had he done so.
And then we have Rhaegal's death. I mean, I understand that they want Cersei to feel like a huge threat, and having Dany lose the second of her dragons definitely tips the scales even farther in Cersei's favor. But oh, the cynic in me couldn't help but think that when Rhaegal fell into the ocean, they had effectively halved the most expensive part of their CGI budget.
This mainly bothers me because, while there is always the inevitable degradation when translating a book into a show or movie, when you're dealing with such a massively popular, money-making title like Game of Thrones, the most important thing should be the sanctity of the story. Decisions like throwing away the Dothraki make it feel like they backed themselves into a corner and decided to take the easy way out, instead of moving forward in a consistent and plausible manner.
According to Variety, each episode of S8 cost at least $15 million to make. That seems like, and in reality is, a mammoth budget for a show. But when compared to the earnings that GoT creates, which the New York Times says is just over $1 billion annually, it doesn't seem all that unrealistic to expect a fully developed product with no shortcuts, no plot holes, no Starbucks cups, lots of dragons, and a hug for a direwolf.
As a long time fan of the books, I've recently been thinking a lot about how and why the quality has downturned since the show outstripped the books. Also why shows based on books are so much better than their traditional TV as first in media counterparts.
I think there are a few things that come into play:
Budget - As @Kenny mentioned the showrunners are budget constrained, and have to make decisions based on that, not just on what best serves the story. Since at this point the story is not set in stone, they can adjust the story to match.
Actor contracts and fan outrage - When you are the one rolling the story forward with characters that people like, it's very difficult to make a decision to kill off a character, especially a main character like one of the Starks or Lannisters. You have to consider that you are firing the actor and any supporting staff they might have, and it is hard to take that out of the equation. You also run the risk of fan outrage and bandwagoning against the show, people upset you killed off their main character. If the death is already written in the novels, it's much easier to deal with this. You set up the actor, like Sean Bean initially, and let them know that they are only going to be around for a few seasons. Imagine in the books hadn't been written first, Sean Bean would still at this point be having flashback scenes after 8 seasons.
Time Constraints - These books have taken years each book for GRRM to figure out how to get people from one place to another, decide which characters are going to make what decision, and how how thousands of troops are getting fed at Winterfell. At the end of the day, all he is doing is moving words around a page and it takes that long. A big budget production like GoT has thousands of people and logistics involved, which means corners of the story need to be cut.
All this together leaves me really hoping that GRRM finishes the books after the series is over. I'm curious how things will be different.
By the way, if you like GoT you should check out The Expanse. It is another huge budget show which is very faithful to the source material, with the book series nearly finished already. To make a simplified comparison it is a bit like Game of Thrones: In Space.
How about if I interviewed Starbucks Cup?
I totally agree! You'd think the Iron Bank would have a stake in the future of their world.
This season make's the world of GoT seem so much smaller.
Thanks for this write up, well done. I'm not one to write negative reviews but wow I hated that episode. It was so bad, it's painful.
The death of the dragon was such a joke, they really made no attempt at hiding their lack of effort. A dragon that flies around the world is attacked by surprise when it makes a left turn and there is a fleet of boats coming around what is essentially a large boulder? Pretty sure the dragon and uh "pilot" Daenerys would have seen them coming from a very long distance.
0/10 effort. This show is basically over in my opinion.
I think we're left with the fact that Daenerys probably needs to die, along with Cersie, Jamie probably goes too and we're left with Jon Snow.
Eventually the cream rises to the top even if Jon Snow is essentially a 6th round draft pick. Kind of like Tom Brady and the Patriots.
P.S someone should probably write about the personality traits that make Jon Snow a good leader and why we need more politicians like him.
You might enjoy this great interview with the actor who plays Tormund.
P.S someone should probably write about the personality traits that make Jon Snow a good leader and why we need more politicians like him.
I believe Varys said it best.
The best ruler might be someone who doesn't want to rule.
Speaking of the bald guy, I think he'll play a huge role in the remaining two episodes. He's been in the backseat so far, but after his latest exchange with Tyrion, and his reaffirmation that he "serves the realm", he might yet have a say in who sits on the Iron Throne when the show is over.
Everyone was right about why Ghost was "ghosted" by Jon.
Haha, i live close to him :D though i have never seen a single episode of GOT, it will be interested to have tea from his restaurant :D
Please go have tea from the restaurant and take some photos for us, if you can! Would love to hear all about it.
Did you see this? So funny!
"Mother of Dragons Coffee" has a nice ring to it.
mother of drip?
Speaking of dragons, did you see this fan theory? I kind of hope it's true...
That would be cool, I like those kinds of happier endings... my money is betting against the dragons and Daenerys, I don't think she sees the finish line and instead is a martyr for our boy Jon Snow.
Waiting on tinterhooks for your latest episode recap... also, can you imagine how awkward it would be if one won this giveaway considering last night's events?
Gonna post it in a few hours. Been a bit busy since yesterday. It's written up just need to get all the formatting and links ready 👍

Bring On The 40s
So, this weekend I turned 40 years old. Four zero. The age most closely associated with getting "old".
On the outside, it was a birthday like any other. Hung out with the kids. Went out to dinner with the wife. Had some surprise drinks with family and friends to cap it all off.
On the inside, I WAS FREAKING THE EFF OUT.
Nahhh...just kidding :)
While most people hate turning 40, I actually like these "round number birthdays" because they are great times to assess how you're doing at life.
- Am I better off than I was at 30?
- What are some things I want to do by 50?
- Am I the type of person I had hoped to be when I was 20?
These can be scary questions to answer. And as I've been staring down 40, I've been thinking about all of this stuff. It also hasn't helped that everyday on Facebook for the past 6 months I see one of my high school or college friends turn 40 themselves.
So today I want to share a few goals I have for my 40s and maybe some of you can steal these ideas or share what you're doing for your 40s and we can all make it through to 50 together.
Here they are, in no particular order:
Goal #1: Care less what people think about me.
This isn't exactly a goal, but maybe more a welcome by-product of getting older. In your 20s, you care A LOT about what others think of you. In your 30s, a little bit less. By 40? You've technically got less than half your life left. So now's the time to start ripping away and let people know how you really feel :)
A good example for me has actually been this blog. A few years ago, I would have never shared half the stuff that I've shared here publicly. Now? It's become somewhat cathartic.
Goal #2: Make sure the 50 year old Ben can beat the crap out of the 40 year old Ben.
Or at least make it competitive! The body really starts breaking down in your 40s, but this is doable through a great diet, improved science and consistent exercise. It's going to take a ton of time at the gym.
A quick related story involving my gym. Each morning a bunch of us roll out of bed at an ungodly hour to get strong, stay fit and suffer together. Just about all the guys are in our late 30s/early 40s with the exception of this human tornado named Dwight, who's somewhere in his 50s.
We give Dwight A LOT of shit about how old he is, how he might not make it through a workout (especially when it involves running) but secretly we all want to be Dwight. Still in the gym grinding everyday in our 50s, doing handstand push ups, climbing ropes, rowing, squatting and deadlifting more than half the class.
So here's to being more like Dwight over the next 10 years.
Goal #3: Find out how to keep Brooke interested in me.
With 4 small kiddos at home, the vast majority of conversations between me and Brooke these days involve 1 or more of the kids. That's okay and the season of life that we're in, but if this is still the case in 10 years, we are going to flame out.
So the tangible goal here will be finding some new hobbies we can learn and do together in our 40s to spice things up. My early vote is for hip hop dance classes. Brooke is thinking golf.
Goal #4: Work harder at making and keeping close friendships.
Guys are notoriously bad at keeping close friendships as we get older, for a variety of reasons outlined in this recent New York Times article. If you struggle with this, you should definitely give this a read.
For me, it's keeping a regular rhythm of seeing my friends, listening to them and not settling for small talk and calling each other out on our shit. Pro tip: bourbon can help guys do all of these things.
Goal #5: Prevent being replaced by a robot at work.
The next 10 years are going to be crazy disruptive as artificial intelligence goes mainstream. Lots of "knowledge-worker" type jobs will go away, but lots of opportunities will come too. The goal is to be on the right side of the fence when it happens 😃
Goal #6: Keep exploring why we're all here.
I believe something is going on in the universe. Something is unfolding. And something is behind it all.
Now what exactly all that is, I'm not totally sure. But it's definitely fun to think about. Some days it's the thing I think about the most.
So the goal is to keep pushing and exploring for answers to these fundamental questions and apply them to the people around me the best I know how.
Goal #7: Be the hero my kids think I am today.
When you're the dad of an 8, 6, 4 and 0 year old, it's pretty easy to be SuperDad. I can lift the girls over my head with one hand in the pool. I know the answer to every trivia question they send my way. I can always help resolve their major life issues like finding a lost "stuffy" or helping them get through a hard level on a video game.
It gets a lot trickier when they're 18, 16, 14 and 10 with a whole host of different and more complex issues to help them work through.
They're also already starting to sniff out my BS and keep me accountable for certain things as well. For instance, Owen's been counting how many drinks I have lately..."You're having another Stone IPA, dad?!" (Yikes.) And the girls have become more aware when I don't handle situations well or consistently.
So to maintain "hero status" with my kids, it's going to take discipline and hard work to be the kind of father they can still respect and look up to as they enter their teens.
Okay. This list could certainly go on and on, but I think I've got the major things covered here. Any other newly minted 40 year olds have something to add to the list? Let me know!
Thanks to everyone for all the birthday texts, presents, drinks, cards and FB messages...until next time!
Quick update on Vaughn:
For those of you curious how Vaughn's been doing in his first 3 weeks of life, he is an animal. When we took him home, he weighed around 3 lbs, 14 oz. Brooke and I were kinda surprised they even let us bring him home. Yesterday, he weighed in at 5 lbs, 4.5 oz. At this rate he might weigh 100 lbs on his first birthday :) Thanks again to all of you who've stopped by with meals and gifts, we appreciate the support!

The golden rule about palettes is that there is no perfect palette. The type of palette you use is completely up to personal preference! I would like to note that I am not a palette addict...I just haven't found the one yet.
There are three main types of palettes: plastic, metal and porcelain/ceramic.
Plastic Palettes
My first palette was a plastic folding Mijello Fusion with 33 slanted wells. The one on the right is a cheap plastic palette you can find anywhere in any art store.
The great thing about plastic palettes is that they are relatively inexpensive ranging anywhere from $4-$30 and with "high-end" plastic palettes (such as the Mijello line) ranging $30-$50. Plastic palettes are usually preferred by painters because it is easier to work with. The surface area of most plastic palettes allow you to see the colors laid out which gives you better control of the water to paint ratio.
Unfortunately, the downside to plastic palettes is that you cannot move your colors around once you have squeezed the paint out of the tubes and onto the palette. Plastic palettes are also known to stain over time but there are a few out there that claim to be "stain-resistant."
Eventually I grew annoyed with the Mijello because I acquired too many colors and did not like the stains which accumulated in the wells.
Metal Palettes
I moved on from plastic palettes and researched for a palette that would allow you to switch or swap out colors. This is where metal palettes come in. Metal palettes are extremely durable and can last 10-20+ years. In metal palettes, you need to buy half-pans or full-pans which are these little cube-like blocks to fill your paint in. These pans are made of plastic but once filled, should hold you enough paint to last several months to a year (dependent on your brand of watercolors which I will cover in another post).
I absolutely loved using a metal box/palette to hold my paints. In fact, I loved it so much that I even bought a second one!
After some time...I realized the problem with metal boxes for painting is that it limits your brush movements. My brushes are now larger for canvas paintings and can barely squeeze into a tiny well. Additionally, the metal boxes stain even more than the plastic would. I'm a picky painter and I dislike stains on my palette because I would like to see the proper shade of color before I apply it on a canvas. I rinsed out the top cover of my metal palette but the darker pigments stayed behind. However, these are great for transport/travel or plein air painting outdoors. Since I live in New York City, I did not care for that added benefit though because I never bring it outside my apartment.
Porcelain Palettes
This type is extremely durable, usually heavy and also fragile. They are probably the best you can buy. The downside is that they are quite heavy to hold with one hand and are not meant to be used outside your studio or home. They are really easy to clean up and does not stain. I also love how my brushes glide across the surface on a porcelain palette. Mixing paints on a porcelain palette is also much better than a metal one because the paints do not separate or bead. I bought mine on sale at Utrecht for around $4 which is not too bad. I would love to have a full sized porcelain palette like the Stephen Quiller Porcelain Palette or the Tom Lynch Palette but fear breaking them. Maybe I'll get one at a later time.
My Main Palette
So I went to the art store today and settled on the Mijello Bullet Proof Glass Palette which sounded promising in terms of non-staining and allows you to see the true color of your paints. I think this is the one for me. I have plenty of mixing room and I absolutely love how my paints appear as they should on the palette and on paper/canvas.
With the metal box before, I had issues judging if purples were dark enough or if a certain shade dried darker than it was supposed to be. This Mijello palette seems to solve all my problems and I'm probably going to use it as my main palette. Each type of palette has a different function. If you're just beginning, I recommend buying a plastic that suits your painting style. Some painters hate plastic palettes while others love them but they are preferred in beginner classes for the sheer ease of color mixing and availability.
Hope you enjoyed this long and lengthy post! Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments below :)

Once a weakness, low-skilled and low-paid workers now the Deep South's strength
Editor's note: A lonely road is the fourth in the series titled "A Region Left Behind: Lost Opportunity in the Deep South."
SUNNY SOUTH, Ala. -- People here were so accustomed to the rural quiet, even the distant noises tipped off that something big was coming to the most impoverished corner of Alabama. First they heard chain saws buzzing through the forest, and then they heard trucks jangling along rutted roads, hauling away the timber. Next they heard pavers blazing new asphalt past a cow pasture. And finally they heard the rumblings of a different kind, the first rumors of what was planned for the clearing.
That's when James Deshler decided he had to go see it for himself.
So one Friday night, after finishing his shift at the roadside quick mart that his family owned, Deshler told his girlfriend and two buddies to pile into his Crown Victoria, and they turned on the high beams and found the dirt beginnings of the best new opportunity in Wilcox County in a half-century. Here, tractors and bulldozers were making way for a quarter-mile-long copper plant that would be owned and run by a Chinese company lured to the area with a massive package of state and local tax breaks. Five hundred people would have jobs, and Alabama's government called the project a "catalyst" that would "lift the fortunes" in a county where 1 in 5 workers could not get a job. Deshler scanned the site, snapping a few dark photos of the machinery. Though he could see his breath, he stood there for five minutes.
"A blessing," Deshler remembers saying. "This place is going to be a blessing."
Two years later, Deshler, 29, looks back on that moment as a time when it was still easy to believe that his life, like his hometown, was about to change markedly for the better. He hadn't yet started working at the copper plant at a wage nearly half of what he was expecting while saving coins so he could buy an engagement ring at Wal-Mart. He hadn't yet watched his bank account dwindle below $10, falling back on his father for help. And he hadn't yet started wondering if the Chinese flag towering in the employee parking lot in fact said something about the cost of economic progress not just in this southwest corner of Alabama but across the Deep South, a region that has increasingly enticed foreign companies with the prospect of lavish tax breaks, plentiful land and cheap American labor.
"I look up at that flag," Deshler says now, "and, man, I think about shooting a flaming arrow into it."
Deshler's frustration reflects the desperate steps being taken in a part of America simply trying to survive economically. In wide swaths of the Deep South, public schools struggle, turning out workers who lack basic skills. Agricultural work has long faded, while job opportunities in once-prosperous industries such as textiles and timber have been lost to cheaper options in Latin America or automation at home. Politicians say they must give freebies to lure companies here, or offer nothing at all and watch the region -- which already lags behind the rest of the country on most measures of well-being -- fall even further behind.
But in some cases, when opportunity arrives, it highlights a grim bargain: Jobs come at great cost but offer only a slightly better version of a hard life. The region's weaknesses -- a low-skill workforce that doesn't expect particularly high wages -- become its competitive strengths. And suddenly, the only opportunity for somebody such as Deshler becomes a Chinese company looking for a place from which to do more business in the United States.
Golden Dragon Precise Copper Tube Group, which is based in Xinxiang, China, and is one of the world's largest makers of coils for air conditioners, announced its arrival with blue and gold "Now hiring" posters pinned across southwestern Alabama in libraries and event halls. Deshler had been waiting for a job much like this one. Five years ago, he moved back in with his parents and enrolled in a machinist program at the only community college in the area, using his savings from a job in Montgomery for tuition. He figured he would raise his earning power.
Instead, he found himself stuck. He spent long shifts at the family's struggling quick mart, a place his grandmother had bought in the 1970s when it was the only liquor store for miles. Deshler worked the counter and ordered gasoline and sold barbecue and Bud. He split a minimum-wage salary with his brother, taking in $3.70 per hour.
And that's when he noticed the new trucks hauling by. Deshler applied online, as did 4,500 others, and he was among the first to get hired. He started at the copper plant on March 12, 2014, two months before the ribbon-cutting, and that morning he snapped a photo of himself as he headed into the factory. "GD Copper," his orange hard hat said, and Deshler -- 6-foot-10 with red, curly hair -- wore a plaid shirt and safety goggles.
"First day on it!" he wrote on Facebook, where he shared the photo.
"No more dollar menu for this guy," a friend commented. "He's gonna upgrade to the combo meals! LoL"

Wilcox County sits in the center of Alabama's Black Belt, a swath of dark-soiled farmland that over the previous decades had been drained of its economic blood: first with the mechanization of agricultural jobs, then with an exodus of people, finally with the shuttering of factories and mills. In a county that is 70 percent black, the historical inequities have dovetailed with a more modern inability to adapt economically. Between 2000 and 2010, Wilcox lost 30 percent of its jobs and 25 percent of its businesses. Its unemployment rate went from 8.7 percent to 26.3 percent.
By the time Wilcox turned to China, the median household scraped by with $23,000 per year, according to Census Bureau data, an income level almost half of the state average and 15th lowest among the 3,144 U.S. counties. Job applications from the area were riddled with basic errors, said Joy Norsworthy, head of the local employment center. Many did not know to capitalize sentences.
"The lack of education is severe," Norsworthy said, "and I'm comfortable using that term."
Wilcox had a rail line, but broad sections of the county lacked sewage, water, even cellphone service. There was no day-care center, no public transportation. The main town, Camden, was a grid of treeless streets where discount stores advertised in their windows that they accepted food stamps.
"The entire county is back in the Dark Ages," said Jim Emerson, a board member at the Wilcox Chamber of Commerce.
In this case, Golden Dragon -- or GD Copper, as it would call the U.S.-based arm -- started looking for a place to build a factory in the United States after it was slapped with tariffs in 2010. A U.S.-based consultant, Raymond Cheng, who specializes in Chinese business opportunities, encouraged the company to solicit multiple bidders.
"You really need to go to the South," Cheng recalled saying in one phone conversation with the chairman of Golden Dragon, Li Changjie. "You need a lot of land. You need cheap labor. You need to establish in friendly ground."
Over several months in early 2011, giant three-ring binders arrived regularly at a law office used by Cheng's company, each one touting available real estate, low utility prices, easy highway access, laws that weren't friendly to organized labor. In total, five states and 62 towns submitted bids.
To help push the deal, Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley (R) dined with Li. Company executives visiting the region were greeted with imported Chinese tea and Mandarin video messages. Alabama's state workforce team explained how, if chosen for the job, they would visit Golden Dragon's Chinese headquarters, study the process, and make videos and training courses for the new U.S. employees. In Alabama, Golden Dragon wouldn't pay taxes for 20 years; it would get free roads and land.
Alabama also did something no other state was willing to try: Its legislature passed the "Made in Alabama" act, a tailored law that allowed the state to reimburse Golden Dragon for several prior years of tariffs. A version of the law had first been drafted by Cheng and a lawyer, according to Cheng and a lawmaker who sponsored the bill.
Ultimately, the company was given the choice of the reimbursements or an extra $20 million in cash. Golden Dragon chose the cash.
All told, according to interviews and documents reviewed by The Washington Post, Golden Dragon received subsidies worth some $200 million -- the bulk of it in local and state tax abatements, plus the cash, $5 million in land and road costs, and nearly $2 million in worker training. County leaders say they had little choice: They had spent years trying to lure companies, reaching out unsuccessfully to more than 100. Even Golden Dragon only settled on Wilcox after a site in a neighboring county proved too small.
"When your hand is in the lion's mouth, you act accordingly," said John Moton Jr., the chairman of the county commission. "We have the highest unemployment rate in the state. Our hand was in the lion's mouth."
Though many states recruit businesses with tax incentives, states in the Deep South pioneered the practice and remain aggressive users of the tool, pitching not just tax breaks but low costs and anemic union participation. The strategy has both payoffs and potential downsides. Mercedes, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Airbus and Boeing now have plants in the Deep South, providing tens of thousands of sturdy middle-class jobs. But while those high-profile plants attract much of the attention, experts say tax breaks often are used for the many companies offering lower-wage work.
In South Carolina, several thousand people work for newly relocated Chinese companies, including textile plants that have been lured by subsidies to depressed areas. Some companies have also resorted to using temporary workers. Nissan, which by some estimates was given more than $1 billion to open shop in Canton, Mississippi, depends heavily on a staffing company where advertised jobs start at $12 per hour.
Politicians and industrial recruiters in the region portray the new jobs as transformational, capable of lifting families out of poverty and narrowing the divide between whites and African Americans. Bentley said in an interview that his state's deals "pay for themselves" within four years, by driving new jobs and new spending. His and other state offices declined to provide data supporting that claim and instead sent to The Post a single-page document with numbers from six particular projects.
"It contributes to a stream of continuous income," Bentley said.
Still, some regional experts and economic analysts say the strategy amounts to a flawed attempt at a quick fix that surrenders a source of much-needed tax dollars that could be used for spending on education, health and infrastructure. "It's a vicious cycle, because poorer states spend less on the things that would allow them to be less poor in the long run," said Wesley Tharpe, a senior policy analyst at the left-leaning Georgia Budget and Policy Institute.
Golden Dragon's main allure has been its willingness to bring on people without prior experience, with nothing more than a high school diploma. Shortly after the plant began hiring, in early 2014, it became a landing spot for some of the region's most needy: A woman who had previously commuted two hours every day for a $7.75-per-hour job at a corn dog factory. A couple with five children that had roamed the country for years, filling in anywhere manufacturers were on strike. A single mother who had worked back-to-back eight-hour fast-food shifts, rising every day at 3 a.m.
Golden Dragon's chairman, Li, said in a phone interview that the quality of workers in Wilcox "is not very good." The company's head of human resources, K.C. Pang, said wages are based on market value and skill set and were determined after discussions with state officials. Pang also said that roughly half of those who apply are rejected because of felonies or failed drug tests.
"Realize, if these workers could get a job at the paper mill," Pang said, referring to one of the last major sources of jobs in the town, "don't you think they'd be there?"
The average worker at Golden Dragon, among the 200 that have so far been hired, makes $13 per hour. The company says it offers generous and regular raises.
Deshler started at $11 per hour.

Unlike the majority at Golden Dragon, Deshler had manufacturing experience. Straight out of high school in 2004, he got a job at Hyundai in Montgomery. He started at $17 per hour and ended up at $25 five years later. He bought Ralph Lauren polos and American Eagle blue jeans and a big truck. The lone downsides were the noise and rush of the city, which drove him crazy. For 208 weekends in a row, he fled Montgomery for Wilcox, where to relax he drove around at dusk looking for deer. He knew good jobs were easier to find outside rural areas, but figured this would be a compromise: He left Hyundai and began school at the community college in Clarke County, which neighbors Wilcox. He graduated in 2011 as a certified machinist.
Although he was relieved to have a job after years at the quick mart, Deshler felt he was overqualified and underpaid. Several months into the job, he applied for a promotion. He would go from operating a machine -- "sitting down, pushing 30 buttons," as he called it -- to operating an entire machine shop, a crucial position in which you make the tools that keep the factory humming. Deshler had long wanted to be a machinist: He had used tools going back as far as his teenage years, when he fixed the family Jeep Cherokee, the one his dad had used for 360,000 miles while delivering mail on rickety back roads.
The day Golden Dragon managers told Deshler he had won the promotion, in the early summer of 2014, his dad, James II, rushed to the supermarket to buy ribs and pork and sweet tea, and everybody gathered in the back yard. Deshler figured the new position would help him pivot back toward independence: He talked with his girlfriend, Lauren, about buying a home and where they might live. Deshler hadn't pinned down his exact raise, but he guessed it would be big -- maybe $16 per hour, up from $11. The average machinist in Alabama makes $19 per hour.
And then, when Deshler checked his pay stub several days later, waking up to check the deposit on his smartphone, almost nothing had changed.
He thought it was a mistake. The company said it wasn't. He was now making $11.75 per hour.
"It was like taking a big bite of lemon," Deshler said.
Now Deshler wondered how any job at Golden Dragon could lead toward the middle class. He started looking differently at the factory, noticing its quirks, resenting its features: The several dozen Chinese engineers who helped supervise the plant couldn't speak English and lived in modular trailers on the factory grounds. The awkwardly translated Chinese slogans touting work ethic. ("One Quality escape erases All the good you have done in the past.") The oil spills that sat on the floor; the minor injuries that piled up. Maybe, he wondered, this was why his father had long cursed Chinese-made tools, always the low-budget option at Lowe's.
Only this time, it was his life unfolding on the cheap. Deshler bought a $22,000 home on the foreclosure market, spent weeks yanking out the roach-infested interior, then months more rebuilding it by hand. He moved in with Lauren and her son because the couple were expecting a child. They got married at a courthouse, without a honeymoon. Even when Deshler's salary finally climbed to $14.50 an hour earlier this year -- the result of meeting performance goals -- it didn't cover a mortgage, insurance, light bills and baby food.
"Literally, going to Dairy Queen is a mini-vacation," Deshler said. "And if that's a mini-vacation, what am I supposed to do if I have bald tires?"
"I feel for him," James II said. "He might as well be working at Wal-Mart."
In the many weeks when money hit zero, they fell back on Deshler's father, who sometimes seemed to be the one person holding the family together. Deshler had only been able to buy the modest home -- and the materials for the rebuild -- with help from his dad. James II had dropped out of high school, then spent four years in the Navy, six years in the Coast Guard and almost 20 years with the Postal Service. He had a night job, too: He took classes. First he earned a GED. Then a bachelor's degree. And finally, a law degree, for which he drove four hours round trip to Montgomery, coming home at 1 a.m. He quit the post office in 2008, on the same day he graduated from law school. He now billed clients $250 per hour and talked jokingly about starting a little "family dynasty" of wealth.
Deshler sometimes wondered what lesson to make of his dad's adult life. Was it proof that intense work pays off? Or used to pay off? He went back and forth.
"I still believe I can do what my dad did," Deshler said. "I have to believe that a job with $40,000 or $50,000 isn't out of reach."
Deshler applied for some other positions and was tempted by an Australian shipbuilding company in Mobile. But the work was two hours away, and pay started at $14 an hour.
- - -
One night in the summer of 2014, Deshler got off work, called his wife from the car and said he wasn't coming home just yet. He drove, instead, to his dad's law office, which held the only functional computer Deshler had access to. He pulled up Google on the browser and looked for what he called "only the most legitimate sites" -- official releases, newspaper articles.
For the next hour, he scrolled through the backstory of his company. Here was the state's commerce secretary in 2012 saying wages would average "$15 to $17" per hour. Here was the governor touting Golden Dragon in his biggest speech of 2014, saying fresh hope was coming to "disadvantaged areas."
Deshler called his dad.
"Our government, they sold us down the river," Deshler said. "They can go to hell." His dad asked Deshler if he wanted to quit.
Instead, Deshler did something else. He started talking at work to Joseph Boykins, a fast-talking shift worker -- "almost a televangelist type," Deshler said - who had been trying for weeks to drum up interest in a union. Unions in the South were far less common than in the rest of the nation, and Deshler's dad had always said that unions weren't worth the trouble.
But now Deshler sidled up to Boykins and said he was in. In the coming weeks, Deshler pulled aside colleagues at the factory, telling them a union could improve their benefits and pay. Golden Dragon, in turn, spawned a campaign to convince workers that unions weren't necessary.
Deshler's viewpoint represented only about half the workforce. Others, including many who came from unemployment or minimum-wage jobs, felt thankful for Golden Dragon and said they had no interest in disrupting the factory's work.
"For the first time, I can go out and have a steak," said Sue Thomas, 50, whose children are grown and who left a job in a neighboring county at a sewing plant and now makes $16 per hour at Golden Dragon.
Days before the vote, Bentley wrote a letter to Golden Dragon employees, saying that unionizing could have a "negative impact on your community by discouraging other companies from locating there."
On Nov. 7, 2014, workers decided, 75 to 74, to form a union.
Hours later, Deshler and Boykins wandered out of the factory and toward the employee parking lot. They shared a hug. But they had expected a landslide, and neither could quite shake the feeling that the moment felt like something less than a victory. If Golden Dragon had catalyzed anything in Wilcox, it was a division over how to feel about the opportunity they had.
"Nobody wants to go back to less than nothing," Boykins said.
"Nobody wants to work a damn job that pays them for the rest of their life like they were cutting grass in high school," Deshler said.
Nothing changed quickly in the next year; it wasn't until October that contract negotiations even started. Deshler did what he could to make Golden Dragon just a portion of his life. He turned himself into a homebody. Supper and bath time were the evening routine. He tried to be reliable at work: "No ass-kissing, but come in five minutes early and leave 10 minutes late." He tried to think less about money, because the stress of it was riling up an old back injury, and he refused to pay for painkillers.
But then, there were some mornings, like a Thursday in September, when he awoke with $1.15 left in his bank account, a gas tank needle pushing below "E" and 24 hours until the next paycheck.
"A royal pain," Deshler said.
It had happened more than a half-dozen times already, this gas-tank roulette, and Deshler knew the gauge well enough to know how it would end. He just barely made it to work. He spent eight hours at the factory. And just before heading home, he called his dad to meet him at a Phillips 66 gas station. Deshler's car was already waiting at the pump when James II pulled up, lowering his window and passing over a debit card.
"Our little drug deal," Deshler said, jokingly.
They chatted for a few minutes while Deshler half-filled his tank, using $20.
"Appreciate it," Deshler said, and he handed back the card. Deshler said he was heading home for dinner. James II said he was returning to his law office.
Then they drove off in different directions.

In the last Babbler I talked about what we knew that happened the night Trayvon Martin was shot by George Zimmerman and what I thought about that situation. Now I will talk about the arrest of George Zimmerman and the racial backlash all over the Internet, T.V, and radio.
Okay, some black kid was going to his pop house and some man thought he was out to do something wrong in his community a fight happened and then the man shot the kid. The man first called 9-1-1 and alerted the police of his suspicions and he was told to stop following the kid and we all know that he didn't. Now take what I had said above but just for a moment take out the race (just for those who aren't sure George Zimmerman is white and Latino) of the kid and the guy and think, just think, about it and I'm going to leave that for you to deal with.
Now moving on to what I really want to talk about. And what I want to talk about is the racial backlash and the racial division. It seems to me when everyone thought he was a white guy it was white V.S black and a whole racial incident. I agree something went wrong that George Zimmerman was not arrested that night. But as I keep saying I believe that by us making this a racial issues took away from the real issues at hand, which is the problem with the Stand your ground laws and the self defense laws. But neither of those laws should have been ever mention because George Zimmerman may have been the aggressor. Why do I think that? Because I heard the police call and I'm sure you have as well. I also read the affidavit (http://media.trb.com/media/acrobat/2012-04/69353440.pdf). And in my opinion he was wrong. Anyway, I have Googled this cause to see what's going on and the most interesting part of the posts I read were the comments. When we all thought he was just white it was a lot of talk about how blacks are killing blacks and other not really relevant shit. The blacks killing black thing is stupid because if you look at violence in America or any where else out side of war people of one race normally kills someone of their own race because most of us grew up around people like us. Meaning if s disagreement starts in a Latino community most likely the person shot and the shooter are both Latino, right?
The other glaring thing I see on comments are is after we found out that he's not all white people making jokes about the media getting it wrong. But it seems to me that everyone is missing the point here. Fuck if he was white or blue or red or green he shot an unarmed child. And I'm tired of hearing that Trayvon Martin was 6'3 or something. No matter what happened, if Trayvon did beat George ass once the gun was pulled out wouldn't most of us back down, especially a kid?
I really had a lot to say about this but I won't because I'm going to sit back and watch the outcome of the cause. So all of you can go back and forth about this but I believe in Karma.
Oh, I have 2 more things to say:
1.Shout out to Danny Chang from Boston, Massachusetts who said 'Hey, white and black people, let the rest of the world know when you've resolved your racial issues. Idiots'
2. I listen to Michael Baisden radio show a lot and I even read one of his novels but he lost me when a white woman called his show and she said there's no difference when it comes to race and he checked her and said there is a difference when it comes to race and he maybe right because we made it that way but to me there is only one race and when we die race will not be a factor unless you believe what the Mormons or NOI or any other hate filled faith. I just think by the fact of us thinking a person of another race or any other reason to hate someone different then us is the reason why there will always be the race issues in America but believe me soon and very soon the only color that matters will be green.
