Let's move on to what it probably my favorite piece of bed rest (or anytime) equipment - The Laptop.
You laptop can open up up to a world of amusement and can also keep you in touch with the outside world.
For starters, consider getting a game of some kind. I know...I know....You probably not into blasting aliens or slicing up zombies or whatever you envision your typical computer game to entail. Look again. In the past several years a whole new genre of gaming as appeared. There are several games that I really enjoy and that have ever required that I wield a BFG. Check out the following:
The Sims series - you can probably get the original sims off of ebay for a song or try out the current Sims2
Civilization - The original civilization has come a long way. Civ4 features fab graphics, new leaders and narration by Leonard Nimoy! While your there check out the Civilization IV - Colonization, as update of one of my all time favorite games!
If neither of these games are doing it for you check out BigFish games. There are literally hundereds of games that that you can download and try out for free for about an hour. If something catches your fancy you can buy it right away for $20. Plus, they add a new game almost every day!
Interested in games, but not interested in paying for them? Check out these lists of open source games, freeware games and commercial games rereleased as freeware. These games generally don't feature the flashy graphics or soundtracks of their pricier cousins, but for the price who can complain. I might also add that some of them can be a little tricky to get working and you may have to tinker a bit.
Okay - you have expored your gaming options, lets move on to another fun aspect of the internet, social networking. You may be familiar with Facebook, mySpace or Twitter, but you may not know about some of the great resources for moms and moms-to-be. There are thousands of site out there full of pregnancy and parenting stuff. Some are great, some are just mediocre. Here are a few of my favorites:
CafeMom - Like MySpace for moms
BabyCenter - lots of good info for pregnancy through your kiddo's 9th birthday
Ask Dr. Sears - Dr. Sears, much like Martha Stewart, you either love him or hate him. Since I am a crunchy granola, breastfeeding, babywearing, co-sleeping mom I love him. Give it a read, if you find im too touchy feely move on.
Don't forget blogs. Clearly, you know all about blogs. There are probably about a million blogs for every interest out there. A great way to find some new blogs is to try out a web app called Stumbled Upon. Essentially what stumbled upon is all about is getting you to a random(ish) web page. Try it out, but be warned, it can be adictive.
Finally, I want to mention my newest addiction, NetFlix. In case you are unfamiliar with NetFlix it is essentially a movie rental site. You set up a Queue and they mail you a DVD (Or two or three or whatever depending on you subscription level). You watch the DVD and then mail it back in a prepaid envelope. If that were all that there was to it, that would be pretty cool since you can rent movies ithout leaving your bed. But wait there is more! You can now watch content online. No waiting! Right now! There are a TON of movies and, my favorite, TV shows. You can catch up on a whole season of CSI or Numb3rs in just a few days! It is a life saver on those days when there is nothing good on TV (like every day).
So there you have it. Some, but by no means all, of the great ways to entertain yourself using your laptop. I will revisit the laptop in the next few days when we talk about other ways to retain your sanity.

A former carpenter with a passion for craftsmanship, Harrison Ford has had the opportunity, over the years, to buy the toys of his dreams. In an open field on his Wyoming ranch sits his Bell 206 Jet Ranger Helicopter; from the garage he can choose one of six motorcycles — four BMWs, two Harley-Davidsons — to ride around Jackson Hole. His five airplanes include a state-of-the-art jet and a 1956 de Havilland Beaver, something of an aviation classic. So it was with some trepidation that screenwriter Melissa Mathison, Ford's wife of 17 years, presented her motor-mad, but very particular, husband with a 1966 Austin Healy 3000 for his 58th birthday on July 13.
"It's great getting old"
She needn't have worried. "I went out for something and was going back to the house, and Melissa walked along with me," Ford recalls. "And it was sitting around in the driveway with a bow on it. I was delighted." A bottle of Dom P rignon from a pal provided the icing on the birthday cake. Says Ford: "It's great getting old."
Like his racing-green Healy, Ford has clocked some mileage — and taken his share of dings along the way — but his motor is still purring nicely, thank you, and the body's in great shape. Check out the toned torso he bares in his latest movie, the supernatural thriller What Lies Beneath. Not surprisingly, as he has gotten older, his workouts have become more serious. "I'm probably fitter now than I was when I was 35," he says. One strength has stayed exactly the same: Ford's knack for finding the Everyman in the Hero and the Hero in the average Joe, Jack or Indiana. His 37 films have earned more than $3 billion at the box office; 7 are among the Top 40 moneymakers of all time. "In my opinion he is one of our very best actors," says Sydney Pollack, who directed Ford in 1995's Sabrina and last year's Random Hearts. "Yeah, he's cool, and yeah, he's tough, and yeah, he can punch guys. But he can also hurt like hell when he gets hit. And we recognize he has given us back the truth."
Ford, famously, doesn't put much stock in his own mystique. You need not look further than the decor of his private office at the ranch to confirm his reputation as a no-nonsense guy's guy: wood floors covered with Navajo rugs, a bookshelf stocked with The Flyfishing Guide to Wyoming, 24 years of copies of Fine Woodworking magazine and, in the pantry, a bottle of McCallan's, his favorite 18-year-old single-malt Scotch. "I've never had lofty goals," he says. "I just try and do the best job I can on whatever comes my way." Right now, though, America's most popular actor is out of a job — and not because he's holding out for Hamlet. "I just haven't read anything I want to do," says Ford, who passed on The Patriot because "it boiled the American Revolution down to one guy wanting revenge." Ford has had enough of the retribution line. "I'm also tired of films that put children in jeopardy," he adds. "They inure us to real pain and real suffering and real solutions."
Such is Ford's reputation for principled contrariness that even Michelle Pfeiffer, his What Lies Beneath costar, felt compelled to declare on the Today show that "the most surprising thing is, he's really funny." More than that, says Wendy Crewson, who played Ford's First Lady in Air Force One and has a small role in Beneath, "he's got the devil in his eyes. You don't really see that impishness onscreen, but he has got a wild side." Melanie Griffith saw it while partying with Ford and Mathison during the filming of 1988's Working Girl. "He was knocking back tequilas, and the last thing I remember was Harrison did one shot and he was on the floor of the bar," she recalls. "Melissa was walking out the door, and she was like, 'Forget this guy!' It was pretty funny."
And there may be an inexplicable quirk or two. "When he meets people," claims The Fugitive's Sela Ward, "he looks at everybody's shoes. When I first arrived in Chicago, I happened to be wearing cowboy boots. I noticed that he really checked out my shoes, and I thought, 'We must be bonding over my boots. I have a farm, he has a ranch . . .' "
Friends say he's a jokester
Suffice it to say that the ear-piercing he got in 1997 (lately he favors a gold stud) isn't the only giveaway: The real Ford isn't quite as reserved as he likes to make out. "He remembers every joke in the world — loves to tell them," says Pollack. (Few are printable.) And his impersonations, says friend Yvon Chouinard, the famous mountain climber and founder of the Patagonia sportswear chain, are dead on. "He's a riot," Chouinard says. "He has an unbelievable sense of irony and cynicism." Even his fellow luminaries aren't spared. On the set "everybody's getting their hair and makeup done," says Crewson, "and he'll flip through magazines and dish the stars." When the camera rolls, though, he is purely professional. "I had no idea how meticulous he was," says Robert Zemeckis, who directed What Lies Beneath, in which Ford plays a research scientist whose wife (Pfeiffer) is haunted by a vengeful ghost. Days before he was due on the Vermont set, Ford, who earned his pilot's license five years ago, flew up in his de Havilland Beaver to check it out. "He didn't want to walk into his house as the character on the first day without having gotten a sense of it beforehand," says Zemeckis. "He spent hours making sure everything felt right."
Similarly, Ford's passion for flying — he goes up three or four times a week — knows few bounds, even if some of the landings have been a little rough. Last October, Ford was practicing emergency landings with a flight instructor in a dry lake bed north of Los Angeles when his helicopter's motor failed — causing it to crash. Two months ago he emerged unscathed from a bumpy landing in Lincoln, Neb., that damaged his six-passenger Beech Bonanza. The culprit was wind shear. "Not a wind gust," he points out, adding that most reports of the incident — including one in this magazine that he missed the runway — got it wrong. "To simply say that a wind gust had blown me off the runway is to misunderstand the techniques of landing. This was a wind shear, where the wind totally comes from another direction."
Like everyone Ford has also faced real difficulties that, despite his will and resources, he can't make better. The death of his 92-year-old father, former advertising executive Christopher Ford, of a blood ailment in February 1999 had a marked effect on the star (his mother, Dorothy, 82, lives in Laguna Beach, Calif.). "Movie grief is easy," he told the Chicago Sun-Times last October. "Real life is not." Says Pollack: "It was difficult for him. He handled it with his usual grace and aplomb, but he was struggling. It's not something you end up talking about with him."
Stoic for sure, Ford also can be sentimental. While filming The Fugitive in his native Chicago in 1992, he made a point of driving past (but not stopping at) the homes in suburban Morton Grove and Park Ridge in which he was raised — along with his brother Terence, now 55. "I didn't realize," he says, "the houses were so small."
Says girls didn't like him in high school
Back then, of course, no one knew that young Harry, as he was known, would be so big. His dream was to become a forest ranger, and — by his own estimation — his sex appeal was just this side of roadkill. "I wasn't appealing to girls in the normal way," he says. "I was like a beaten dog or something." Progressing inauspiciously, he left school two classes shy of graduating from Wisconsin's Ripon College (despite having taken acting courses to boost his GPA), wed college sweetheart Mary Marquardt in 1964 and set off for Hollywood, where for years he made ends meet working as a carpenter. It wasn't for lack of opportunity. In 1966, Columbia Pictures exec Walter Beakel won Ford an audition for 1967's The Graduate. "He didn't cut it," says Beakel. Surly, particular, and by then a father-to Benjamin, now 33, a chef (he later had son Willard, 31, a teacher and the father of Eliel, 7, with wife Aisha) — Ford didn't do himself any favors. "I would send him out on an interview," recalls his manager of 30 years, Patricia McQueeney, "and the casting director would call me up and say, 'Why did you send that guy? I thought he was going to punch me in the nose!' "
Ford has clearly mellowed since. Although his first marriage didn't survive the explosion of fame that followed Star Wars — he and Marquardt divorced in 1979 — Ford maintains a good relationship with his older sons. Now fully involved in the upbringing of Malcolm, 13, and Georgia, 10 — his children with Mathison, 50, whom he first met on the set of Apocalypse Now in 1976 — he concedes that fatherhood is easier the second time around. "It's an awesome responsibility," he says. "But they are grounded, sensible children."
With the kids on school vacation, Ford cherishes their time at the family ranch, where he works out for an hour most mornings, studies for his aircraft instrument ratings, fishes, rides horseback and plays tennis (often with his pal Chouinard, who reports that even on the court he keeps his cool. "He won't play a game. He just likes to hit the ball," he says. "He doesn't need to beat somebody"). Come September the family will head back to their three-bedroom apartment overlooking Central Park in Manhattan, where Malcolm and Georgia attend private school. Right now, Ford would prefer not to think about that; this is a man very much at home on the range, where the only sounds are the rustle of grass, the low whistle of birds and — the whububump-bang-crash of a drum kit? Yep. In the garage below Ford's office, Malcolm has begun practicing his favorite instrument. "I wanted to encourage his musical development," says Ford, rolling his eyes to suggest this was not, perhaps, his wisest paternal initiative. Later, though, he can't conceal his pride as he runs his hand over a wooden helicopter that Malcolm has fixed. Woodworking-now there's a sensible, rewarding thing for a boy, or a man, to do. Says Dad: "Nice job."

What's up guys?
So everyone's been digging ripped and distressed clothes for a while now. That's also a reason why every store is charging so much for this stuff. Why not just do it yourself? I've been distressing my own clothes for years now. It's so easy!
I'll give you two examples of super simple ideas to try:
Cutting holes in the knees:
– cut a small slit in the middle of your knee (keep your jeans on) then take with your fingers on the top and bottom of the slit, pull and rip. Voila!
Cut the holes in the pockets:
– easy, just carefully cut out above your pockets. (make sure that these are high waisted pants)
So I have a ton of old tshirts or shirts that are a little too big for me.
– I cut small holes randomly around the collar bone and bottom sides of the shirt. Just don't accidentally cut it over your boob or something.
– I use one sharp side of my scissors and cut around the bottom to crop the shirt. You can rip it as well, but be careful because your rip line may start to tear up or down.
I've done this with my dads shirts, old shirts of mine and even new shirts I just bought! And I'm a creative person, so I prefer all of my jeans to be ripped in some sort of way.
Let me know if you have any questions and have fun with it!

James Aspnes, Joan Feigenbaum, Michael Mitzenmacher, and David C. Parkes. Towards better definitions and measures of Internet security. Workshop on Large-Scale-Network Security and Deployment Obstacles, Landsdowne VA, March 2003.
The conventional wisdom is that "the Internet is very insecure." The subtitle of this workshop, namely "deployment obstacles," implies that network owners, operators, and users could have solved pervasive security problems if they had deployed existing security technology. Is there solid evidence that either of these statements is true?

I was so totally surprised to read this review! Roma was my all time favorite fragrance back when it first came out. I thought I was so super sophisticated wearing it. I haven't smelled it for such a long time and wasn't even sure that they even made it anymore. After reading the review below, I remember how many compliments I got when I did wear it. Now, I'm motivated to look for it again to see if I'm fond of it as I was back in the day :D

I am impressed by the quality of the fragrance reviews on MUA. Some sound like real perfume buffs. I'm afraid I can't go into the fine details of the ingredients of the perfume - I just know if I like it or not. And I like this one, a lot. I have been wearing it on and off for many years. To me the scent is sort of fresh and floral (sorry that's as technical as I can get). Another reviewer commented that she though this pefume smelt "old" - well that puts me in my place! Funnily enough, a young colleague (who happens to be Italian) complemented me on my fragrance and then spoilt it by saying that it reminded me of her mother! (To be fair, her mother and I are probably quite close in age). Funnily enough, I have commented here that I find Joy an old-fashioned and old lady fragrance, but I don't see it with Roma.
I just love it. The only reason I don't wear it all the time is that I have only been able to find it in very large bottles. I love the look of the Grecian column but the glass is very thick and it weights down my handbag, as I like to carry my perfume with me.

I think this has been discontinued. It is dirt cheap so stock up. I got this unsniffed and it's amazing. Sexy, rich and a little sweet(in a good way not a foody sweet). Great for the warmer months.

The Twin Platte Natural Resources Districts, based in North Platte, is working with four local irrigation districts and the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources to divert high river flows into canals.
By diverting the high flows, the risk of flooding will be reduced and water will be able to seep into the groundwater, allowing the NRD to study the recharge of the Ogallala Aquifer and gain offset water that will move back into the Platte River, as required by the district's Integrated Management Plan.
"This project allows for an evaluation of the recharge rates by intercepting high flows out of the river during periods of high flows while protecting lives and property downstream and reducing the risk for flooding," says Kent Miller, general manager of the NRD. "This project also allows us to continue making progress on our integrated management plan which requires offset water in the river during times of shortages. This cooperative project allows us to utilize the district's water banking program," says Miller.
In general the IMP's goals include protecting and increasing flows in the Platte River by working with all water users which will increase water use efficiency and reduce consumptive use.
The Department of Natural Resources has been working with Platte River Basin NRS and irrigation districts in the portions of the basin that has been determined by the state to be fully or overapprorpriated. The four local irrigation districts involved in this project are Suburban, Keith-Lincoln, Platte Valley and Paxton-Hershey.
The Twin Platte NRD has been working with DNR to develop models and tools to evaluate and identify the best location suited for this type of recharge project.For more information, visit www.tpnrd.org.

By Nora Burba Trulsson, Houzz | November 8, 2017 | Home & Real Estate
After years of renting, Tina Ramchandani and her husband, Ajay Swamy, searched for an apartment to buy in New York City. They looked in areas from Queens to towns in New Jersey for something that was within their budget and had enough space to accommodate a home office for Ramchandani's interior design business.
A small notice in a neighborhood newspaper led them to the estate sale of a seventh-floor apartment in Manhattan's Greenwich Village that had not been updated since the building was completed in the 1960s. Looking past wood paneling, wallpaper and dark colors, Ramchandani was instantly smitten. Within four months, she had transformed it into a fresh, modern setting that she and Swamy favor.

"After" photos by Jacob Snavely
House at a Glance
Who lives here: Tina Ramchandani, an interior designer, and Ajay Swamy, a product leader
Location: Greenwich Village, New York
Size: 1,050 square feet (98 square meters); one bedroom, one bath
Design and build team: Tina Ramchandani (interior designer) and Pegasus Realty Solutions (contractor)
Before: The apartment's original interior, including the living room shown here, had parquet flooring, traditional furniture and, in other spaces, dark-colored walls that added a sense of gloom to the setting.
"This apartment was on the market for a while," says Ramchandani. "I think people took one look and couldn't see past the surface things. I've done so many renovations that I wasn't daunted. I saw a large central space for a living and dining area and knew that it was an easy fix to move a few walls to get what we needed."
Jacob Snavely, original photo on Houzz
After: Pale oak flooring throughout and white walls provide a clean, fresh backdrop for the main open space in the apartment, which includes the living room and entry, shown here. Ramchandani also reconfigured the kitchen at right to open onto the living room and tucked a flat-screen TV and media cabinet into a corner wall.
One large Roman shade, as opposed to three smaller ones for each window, provides privacy and visually lengthens the window wall.
The designer kept the furnishings simple and, except for art, used a neutral palette so the small interior wouldn't be overwhelmed.
"We have a big family and entertain a lot," Ramchandani says, "so I designed a custom sectional for maximum seating."
Custom sectional: Home Interiors by Anthony Giaramita; white side table: West Elm; console: Room & Board; paint: Super White, Benjamin Moore
The renovated apartment's pale, neutral colors for the background and furniture not only visually enlarge the space but also serve a purpose in Ramchandani's design business, which she runs from home. "I pick a lot of colors for my clients all day long," she says. "My white surroundings don't interfere with that."
In a corner of the living room, furniture with slim, midcentury profiles keeps things airy. The sofa's Robert Allen cotton fabric appears as several shades of gray, depending on the light angle.

Before: Traditional chandeliers and wood paneling graced the original dining area next to the coat closet and entry door. Ramchandani opted to close off the alcove where the sofa was located, creating her home office.

The couple picked up the sectional's accessory pillows during a trip to Morocco.

After: Ramchandani sealed off the kitchen's original entrance on the right and placed the refrigerator against the new wall. She opened the kitchen to the living room for easier entertaining. Removing the wall between the kitchen and the living room also flooded the interior with more natural light.
New high-gloss Poggenpohl cabinetry as well as the white Caesarstone countertops and backsplash help bounce light into the space and reiterate the apartment's uncluttered style. Cabinetry panels on the Liebherr refrigerator and the Miele dishwasher provide a seamless look.

During the course of remodeling the kitchen, Ramchandani salvaged a strip of the original wallpaper and decided to frame it as a reminder of the apartment's past life.

Before: The bedroom shutters, wallpaper trim and dark wood flooring made it seem small and a tad claustrophobic.

After: To create a new, serene bedroom, Ramchandani painted the walls a soothing pale gray and built a soffit above the window for new lighting and blackout shades. She also had the radiator painted the same color as the walls to make it visually recede.
"The bedroom is actually a pretty good size," she says. "We borrowed a few feet of space to create a new master closet."

As in the rest of the house, furnishings and accessories were kept simple in the bedroom.

After: Ramchandani moved the bathroom door so that it opened onto a hallway off the master bedroom, adding privacy. She also replaced the tub with a walk-in shower. The step up allowed the couple to do the new plumbing work within their apartment without having to access it via the neighbor's bathroom below.

Top:Dorothy Perkins
Fur Stole:H&M
Hi, just Sarah again! Thought I would try a new improved ootd layout, as our first was small and we had issues with the background! We are slowly getting used to this blogging stuff, so apologies for the random and pretty plain layout but hopefully this will change as we learn. As for the outfit, the top I am wearing is from the Dorothy Perkins sale and is actually one of the only things I have found in the sales this year. I've been shopping a few times now since Christmas, and have not been impressed at all; as someone who practically lives in these shops I saw hardly anything in the sales that was on display any time before Christmas. I tried looking through the endless rails but in the end I gave up and went back to the full price clothes. One of the exceptions though was Topshop, whose sale I was really enjoying until I found the fur-collared coat I bought a couple of months ago is now around half the price ): My fault for being impatient I guess! I've wanted a fur stole for ages, as fur is my
guilty pleasure and whatever the item of clothing, if it's fur then I'll like it (faux fur-could never afford the real thing and wouldn't buy it if I could!). This stole is from H&M, not a sale item but at something like £12.99 then it doesn't need to be. To make it work with this outfit I removed the hood from the coat so that it laid flat and didn't create a lumpy effect. Faye's outfit & more to come at the weekend!

Corporate Tax Lawyers in Atmore
In Atmore, Alabama, a "corporation" is specified as a legal entity that's separate from its owners. Therefore, from a legal standpoint, the owner of a corporation and the corporation itself are not the same "person."
This doctrine is recognized as "corporate personhood." While the concept is somewhat abstract, the law of Alabama treats corporations as individual persons, for most purposes. This means that, legally, corporations have most of the same rights, privileges, and commitments as living, breathing human beings.
One of these commitments is the duty to pay income tax in much the same way as an individual person.
Corporate Tax Rate in Atmore, Alabama
Every corporation in the U.S. which has taxable income must pay its share of the federal corporate income tax. The majority of states further have a corporate income tax, which Atmore, Alabama corporations are required to pay.
At the federal level, and in certain states, corporations are taxed at different rates from individuals. Federally, the top corporate tax rate is 35% - a rate applying to corporations earning more than .3 million per year. Corporations earning less than ,000 a year pay a 15% corporate tax rate, and there are a few tax brackets in between. For comparison, the federal income tax for persons maxes out at 33%.
Likewise, chances are good that the corporate tax rate in Alabama are different from individual income taxes. However, many states feel that their economies would be best served by attracting as many businesses as possible. For that reasons, in a large number of states, the corporate income tax rate is substantially lower than the individual rate.
Whatever a company's legal tax rate is, all corporations in Atmore, Alabama must pay the taxes assessed against them. If they don't, they can be made to pay very massive fines - normally much larger than their original tax bill.
How Can a Atmore, Alabama Corporate Tax Lawyer Help?
Most extremely large corporations have tax attorneys and accountants on staff, as full-time employees, who help them stay in conformity with every applicable state and federal income tax laws.
However, if you are the owner of a smaller corporation in Atmore, you likely can't afford a full-time in-house lawyer. For that reason, you should retain an attorney in Atmore, Alabama who practices tax law, on an as-needed basis, if you ever encounter a corporate tax issue, such as an audi

Nurses in Australia were super stressed-out during their shifts in an emergency room environment in a major hospital. But, after short aromatherapy massages while listening to music, their stress levels fell--dramatically--to levels that meant additional satisfaction for patients, and a lot more happiness for the nurses. This is based upon recent research in the September 2007 edition of the Journal of Clinical Nursing.
Researchers found that 60 per cent of the nursing staff--54 per cent in summer and 65 per cent in winter--suffered from moderate to extreme anxiety. This fell to just eight per cent, regardless of the season, once staff had received these 15-minute aromatherapy massages while listening to relaxing new-age music.
A qualified therapist provided the massage, and that person sprayed aromatherapy mist above the heads of participants and then massaged their shoulders, mid back, neck, scalp forehead and temples while they listened to relaxing music on headphones. Participants were able to choose the essential oil used, from rose, lavender, lime or ocean breeze (a combination of lavender, ylang ylang, bergamot and patchouli).
Sixteen massages were carried out over a two-day work period each week for 12 weeks in summer and 12 weeks in winter, with the names of all staff working those days put into an envelope and selected at random.
"There is scope for a lot more research into this area," concludes one of the authors. "We would be interested to see if different types of alternative therapy produced different results and whether factors such as age, gender and health status had any effect on the outcome. But what is clear from this study is that providing aromatherapy massage had an immediate and dramatic effect on staff who traditionally suffer high anxiety levels because of the nature of their work."
Reading stories like these points to the need for introducing stress reduction strategies in the workplace for other types of workers. This could be a valuable tool for employers who are interested in tackling anxiety levels in high-pressure roles in order to increase job satisfaction and reduce employee turnover.

I spent a good portion of the day in bed while my daughter was at work and my son was out with a friend. Then I got up cleaned the house, took a bath, got hit in the head with a shower curtain (don't ask) and watched some movies in the evening with the kids and hubby. It was a quite day. Now I'm logging off the computer to watch "Behind Enemy Lines 2" with the hubby. If you took part in Shutdown day what did you do?If you liked this post, why not buy me a coffee?

My story
To make this story short, I am an x-smoker thanks to God and these miracle devices. One time I was at work ready to smoke my cigarette and a friend of mine told me, look what I got, I saw one little and long thing like a cigarette with a blue led light tip and I said what is that? He told me this is an e-cigarette I bought it for $9.99 at the gas station. He smoked it and it smelled good so when I got off I went to the gas station and bought me one. He didn't tell me nothing about nicotine or the use of it so I started using it, I liked it but like in two hours the battery was gone. I said ok, it taste good and I left my cigarettes to the side for two hours but I paid $9.99 for something that least two hours of use now I have to spend $9.99 again? It got to be something different somewhere, more efficient. So I started my research and for my surprise I found some weird and technological devices that could give me more time vaping, more e-liquid, customizable and different, so I bought one of them on the internet and no more cigarettes for me. Feeling more energetic and a lot better.
How Vape-I-Land started
After my first experience with these miracle devices, I started to research more, bought some more and started to experiment and deal with them in all possible ways, my regular job is about electronics and robotics so I started to do reverse engineering with them, see how they work and how to make them work better. My passion for these devices increased more and more so I decided to be part of the industry maybe starting making my own e-liquid juice with my own brand Vape-I-Land and later move to sell mods. I started to do everything straight like it supposed to be, starting from something simple making my own homemade e-liquid at home with my own brand and with all the labeling with all the possible requirements to not to be later in trouble with the FDA when they come with the regulations in the future. So I registered my brand and trademark name in the state, applied for all the permits and licenses, but I had one last thing to do, apply for my home occupational permit license. I applied and had an appointment with the state department, I remember like now, I went there with my portfolio with all my documents and permits ready to start, finally they called me, had a few words with somebody there and when she asked me what are you going to do?, what are you going to sell?, I told her e-liquids, when she heard that word, her face changed like I was talking about drugs, I saw her face and I explained her what it was about, she didn't allowed me to finish and she told me I can't have that kind of inventory at home, that could be dangerous, that contains nicotine, so I told her what about if I sell it with no nicotine, she said noooooo, everything that you to put in your mouth need to be regulated by the FDA and the Health Department, you can't do that, I'm sorry. So my dream ended right there just because I was trying to do everything legal, I know I could sell it without their knowledge but, she told me if they catch somebody doing that, the fines could be up to $5000. We all know that is all about money, so I can't sell my own homemade e-liquid, just big business companies can because they own their own local. But I had a plan B.
Plan B - Vape-I-Land Reviews
I became very interested in the vape industry like you read, so after that experience instead to frustrate me, I decided to do something productive to help people quit smoking and specially for the vape industry. I wanted to do something to make this industry grow more, instead to allow people like that woman to stop this industry and help to ban these products, how? Instructing the people about what this is, how to use it, the benefits of it, their rights and all the options they have about vaporizers (mods) and e-cigarettes, how to modify them and news. So that's how Vape-I-Land Reviews started.
My main goal is just that, review all the possible products related to the vape industry, tanks, coils, wicks, mods, e-cigarettes, e-liquids to give the people options to choose, one mod or e-cigarette can be good for me but another kind could be good for you, this is about taste, style and a lot of different user preferences and here in Vape-I-Land Reviews you are going to be able to see it and make your own decision, make your own opinions, ask questions and doubts that you have and we will find the answer and learn together.

Similarly, you need to look for those apartments that are having an ideal size as per the requirements of your family. People usually think that leasing one bedroom apartments in Baltimore won't be ideal because they might be smaller in size. This conception of the people is completely wrong because there are many 1-bedroom apartments in this city that are great as far as their overall sizes are concerned. You may be able to find some of the 1-bedrooms apartments that can be even better than the apartment with 2-bedrooms. That's why you shouldn't believe on such wrong conceptions about 1-bedroom apartments that are available in Baltimore. There are some great apartments that are lavish and special when it comes to facilities, and those apartments can be ideally perfect for you and your family. dummyn post

My father died in May of this year. It wasn't unexpected. He had cancer, and by the time they found it, there wasn't much that could be done in terms of a cure. We had less than a year left together before he died. I was holding his hand as he stepped into eternity. I could feel the presence of God in that room as daddy took leave of his body. There was no struggle.. no fight for once in daddy's life. His eyes were fixed on something that we could not see. And at the moment of his death, a single tear fell from his eye. I can't say with certainty why that happened, but I believe he was seeing something very beautiful. The peace in that room was palpable. Supernatural. It was something my father had never experienced in his life here on earth. I believe that it was a tender gift from his Creator.
I spent many days in my father's hospice room before he passed. Some days we talked alot. Others were spent in a comfortable silence between father and daughter. I think we both knew that there are just some things that words just can't do justice.
I'm not sure that he ever came to terms with his death before it happened, but I do know that he made his peace with God. I came in to his room one night, and he was a little agitated. "Angie, people keep coming in here praying for me. Am I going to die?" And there it was. That moment where we had to say the hard things to each other. I told him that I loved him with all of my heart. And I told him that he was dying. Then we had a long talk about where he was in terms of his faith. My father was raised in the truth. He knew the Gospel, and he had received Christ early on in his life. But later, he was wounded many times by the people who serve God. Because of those painful experiences, he came to confuse God with the broken people who serve Him. I don't know a better way to explain that. And I also don't think that's uncommon by the way. I asked my dad if he wanted to ask for the Lord's forgiveness and if I could pray for him. He said he would be the one to do the praying. Made my heart smile. And so he did. What a prayer! It was sincere and heartfelt. He poured his heart, his hurts, out to God, and asked for his forgiveness. And he received it (1 John 1:9).
Losing him has really turned my life upside down. Most days I feel as though I am pushing my way up from some very deep water. And my arms are tired. There have been lots of "firsts" in these past few months. I bought my first car without daddy's input. And drove it to my house instead of his for him to see. I took my first trip back up to Lynchburg and couldn't call him to let him know that I'd arrived safe. The list is growing daily. It made me sad at first to realize all of the things I will do without him now. But I'm not sad about it anymore. That list is a testimony to all of the things we did together. To all of the ways my father invested in my life. To the love that we shared. For all of our troubles, in the end, love is what we are left with. And I am thankful for that.
While I was in Lynchburg, another anniversary came and went without commentary. In part because I couldn't let myself think about it too much or I wouldn't have been able to get through the week's work. Mostly because the grief is still, some days, so fresh in my heart. This year was my daughter's first birthday after daddy's death, but really she would be twenty-five this year. My father grieved Brenna's death so deeply here on earth, but his grief over losing her has passed. Was she in the room with us waiting for him when he took that last slow breath? I cannot say. It is a mystery.
Daddy's nickname "Grumps" was given to him in anticipation of her birth. I had a t-shirt made with the name printed on it. He was so excited to welcome his new granddaughter into the world, and he was absolutely heartbroken to know that her stay on this earth would be so short. He was there with me in the hospital when she was born. And he was there in the room with me after she died, leaving only to go up to the funeral home to make her arrangements so that I wouldn't have to. We buried my baby in a small grave in my hometown. My father now rests beside her.
I believe that daddy is experiencing alot of "firsts" as well. Seeing Brenna again would have delighted him to the core of his being. But seeing Jesus…the one who gave it all for him.. I can only imagine.
For me, I cling to the truth that I know. Death is not the end. The pain of loss will never leave me entirely while I'm alive, but by grace I will learn to live with the hurt. I know that there are still hard days ahead, but I fix my eyes on Christ and put one foot in front of the other. Everyday. In that I honor Christ, and my father. Until we meet again.

acmeinecke's Review
This dish was excellent! My husband is not a big fan of pork, yet he loved this pork dish. In fact, he asked me if we could put this on our regular rotation. It was pretty simple to make. A couple of differences is that I used a little extra cornstarch/pepper/salt mixture to have enough for the pork (and I didn't coat by all means, just a dusting on each piece of meat). I used a pound of pork tenderloin - which is a bit more than what it calls for. The recipe states that it feeds 4, but my husband and I gobbled up almost the entire meal in one sitting - just be aware if you are making this for company. Also, because the thinly-sliced pork cooks so fast, next time I will make sure I have all other ingredients chopped and ready to go before I start cooking the pork.

Distant bubbles crack on the horizon
summoning the heat and glaze from their sleep
to walk again on the surface
as they did on creation morning
in that shimmering moment
we are returned to the simple parts
of our construction
that we have always been
though somehow reluctant to say it
if lips and tongue were still intact
one might say that we have found
a small measure of peace
amid the heat and ash

We haven't gotten to see Bill too much this week but I can tell he is slowly pushing and he is getting a lot closer to his family again. This week is pretty much a week of just seeing where we are going to go with all of our investigators.
This week we didn't really get to do much since we had New Years off and a lot of meetings otherwise so not too much has happened. Things are getting pretty slow because it's getting colder, rainier, and darker so we have been getting a lot of rejection and been doing a lot of walking. It's not all that bad. This next week should be good, we have a lot of service to do and time is going by pretty fast.
The other elders were at our flat this week because their flat is pretty much unlivable because literally every person in the complex smokes and it seeps in through the walls, ceiling, and floor, so they are trying to get it fixed... so they made us food. Then when we went on exchanges we needed to take milk for breakfast today so we left them some in the only thing we could find, a tea pot.

Mondays are the worst day of the week.
My weekends have a sort of normalcy to them, although I use that term loosely.
I am safe because people are home and around me. Of course, that is logically a falsity. It does not guarantee my safety, it just gives me comfort and security knowing someone is with me.
Someone is there to call an ambulance if my panic turns out to be more than just panic; if my racing heart is more than just sinus tachycardia; if my stomach ache is more than just a stomach ache; if my dizziness actually makes me pass out (even though that has never happened).
Monday is when my husband returns to the office, my children go to school, my friends and support network resume work responsibilities.
And I am left here alone.
Alone with my thoughts.
Alone with my what-ifs.
Alone with my catastrophic thinking.
Alone with my insecurities.
Alone with my panic.
Mind you, Mondays don't always start off bad. Today, did start off bad, but then it got a bit better, but then it got really bad.
I woke up around five o'clock this morning from a terrifying nightmare. Pulled myself together and went back to sleep.
I woke up again around eight o'clock and relaxed in my comfy bed thinking about what I might try to do today; so full of intention. Perhaps I would try driving around the neighbourhood, secure in the knowledge that I am close to home if I need to feel safe (driving alone is currently a struggle for me). Maybe I will go to the local shop to pick up the items my daughter needs for her upcoming dance competition (false eyelashes, hair nets, make up).
Wishful thinking.
Just as I was starting to think this might be a good day, BAM! A rush of heat came over me, my heart started racing and I was so dizzy I was sure I was going to pass out. It continued, as it always does. Wave after wave after wave of nausea, dizziness, searing heat, racing heart, anxious thoughts…something catastrophic was about to happen…sheer panic was gripping my every fibre.
Well, there went my plans for a good day.
I am alone with all of these physical sensations that logically, I know can sometimes be normal but unfortunately, I am not currently ruled by logical thought.
I am ruled by illogical, irrational, catastrophic, terrifying thought.
So here I sit.
Scared and anxious. Beyond anxious. I am in sheer panic.
In my attempt to distract myself, I am typing away and trying to hold myself together. What I really want to do is curl up into my bed and close my eyes; shut out the world and just have a good cry.
That five second tool…yah, it's not working all that well right now.
Mondays, *%#@'g Mondays.

DHL / the company is scam and a joke, and fraud!
I send some important time sensitive document to overseas on July 5th. DHL representative assured me they are going to be there by July 9th. On July 9th, I received a call that the documents did not arrive. I checked on-line and it seemed that the document were delayed in the clearance center. I called DHL and I asked the rep. about the delay and why they gave a promise that they can not keep.The rep said that the customs delay is out of their had. I replied that since it is their business, they know about the delays and how long it will last, so they should warn the customers and they should not give the promise that they can not keep. The representative was adamant and he told me that they deliver it within three days and any delay in transit is not calculated to the time frame.
I requested the documents to be returned since pass the time was useless and I had to find some other way to get these documents to my sister. The rep. told me that they can not return the document to me via express service. It has to be ground. I could not believe that I spend $52.00 for express service, overseas delivery and not only I did not receive it, DHL could not deliver back my document via express mail.
This company is fraud and I will never use them. At work, we used DHL at one point and we had so many problems that we changed it to UPS. Whoever has founded DHL, need to read these messages and get in touch with reality. Consumers like me are the innocent bystandard and sometimes they need time sensitive documents to be delivered and if the company can not deliver, it needs to close its door. The company is so greedy that it could not deliver back my document in time to me. They said it takes as much as 21 days for me to get back the document and the envelop needed to be returned from OHIO to Houston. I hope and wish DHL go out of business.
Companies like DHL will go down. Look what happened with ENRON. They got greedy. The same fait is waiting for DHL. The final point is the company is fraud and a sham...

All of you that have read my posts know that events and music, film and arts are part time passions, but you might not know I am first and foremost a teacher of Citizenship. A subject close to my heart, which allows me to share my passion and drive to be an active agent in my local community and the wider society with other young minds – and to provoke and inspire them to do the same. Social action helps to bring together individual acts of charity and make them into the foundations of social justice to tackle the issues of our time.
UNDRLNDN, who I've previously shared about on the Part-Timers, believe in the importance of this too – and have decided to make their next event an opportunity to raise money, resources and awareness for youth poverty in London. Caroline spoke to me about how she's planned to support the issue and more about the fundraising event.
Why did you choose to support the issue of youth poverty?
Youth poverty is real and in a city like London where the cost of living is high – young people's day to day lives can be severely impacted by the lack of resources they may not have access to. Our job is to raise awareness and help young people to get to the resources and organisations that can help. And be friendly, non-judgemental and talk (hopefully!)
Why have you chosen to support Centre Point?
Centrepoint are one of the leading charities in the UK for youth homelessness. They help young people get a job and a home – two key things to break the chain of homelessness. They also have multiple services to help young people in various facets. I chose an experienced charity like Centrepoint because I knew they had the expertise to use the funds we raise in the correct way.
You are sleeping out as homeless for a few nights yourself, how are you feeling about this?
Yeah so its five nights – I am feeling ok – point of action we just need a filmmaker to film it to show it at the event – and need publicity to help promote the event. We're doing this to get young people involved and get a response.
For the fundraiser event, hosts Jack Matthew (@itsjackmatthew) and Anna-Marie Descartes (@annamariedee), are bringing together the UNDRLNDN family for soulful singer @diamantina spoken word superstar @russeni and group @rhythofmen as well as rap from @rennetheboy and DJ set from @gcdj_
@camillefriendshow and @abondance_ will also be talking about their own experiences in overcoming their personal struggles in relation to being homeless and also in attendance will be Waltham Forest Youth Mayor Jamal Khan (@1jamalkhan).
There will also be a foodbank collection on entry, so any non-perishable, fully packaged foods can be donated upon entry.
Tickets are £10 and £8 from each ticket sold goes straight to Centrepoint.

First off: I really do not expect anyone to read this. I wrote it for myself, as a historical document.
Basically I listened to each of the songs in this list before reading the next one. 100 songs later, this is what I got.
100. Thundercat - For Love (I Come Your Friend)
YES to this, I have still never heard his album though. I need to get on that.
99. Ill Blu - Meltdown
Not sure I have heard of Ill Blu. It sounds so good though. Note to self: check out Numbers to see if Ill Blu's label is as good as hyperdub.
98. Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Ffunny Ffrends
I booked them! I wish I knew the rest of their songs as well as I know this one.
97. Fever Ray - The Wolf
The blurb for this accomplishes in 142 words what this one accomplishes in 5.
96. Peaking Lights - All the Sun That Shines
"A love song for the cavemen"... Okay
95. Kendrick Lamar - ADHD
I think this is the first time I've ever actually listened to a KL track. I like it, I like his voice and the way he says 'that'
94. Sepalcure - Pencil Pimp
Yeah yeah yeah! It is too bad that Sepalcure + Mux Mool didn't come to Madison.
93. Wild Flag - Romance
I saw WF at SXSW but haven't listened to their cd yet. This song is cool but the blurb comparing the song to "its" top 40 influences is a bit of a stretch.
92. Jacques Greene - Another Girl
How have I never heard of this before!!! This is great!! The first great discovery by way of this list.
91. Thee Oh Sees - The Dream
I have not listened to TOS very much. I like this song a lot.
90. Grimes - Vanessa
I feel like this is one of those songs that I've heard far more times than I actually have. I wonder if Grimes is gonna next year's Beach House (or something)
89. SBTRKT - Wildfire [ft. Little Dragon]
I'm so glad this is on the list! This is much higher on my personal list. Maybe I should make one this year, because I'm curious where this one would end up.
88. Cities Aviv - Coastin
Oftentimes I feel it takes about 30 seconds for me to know if I'll like a hip hop track or not. This is great from the start. I have never heard of Cities Aviv before.
87. Zoo Kid - Out Getting Ribs
I'm pretty sure I've never heard of Zoo Kid either. Too bad, because he's 17 now and there's a big difference between falling in love with music made by a 17-year old and falling in love with music made by a 16-year old. Still, 17. Wow.
86. Blawan - Getting Me Down
The review says "For the first half of the year, 'Getting Me Down' was an event", and I get what he's saying, but I've never heard the song before. I do like it.
85. Junior Boys - Banana Ripple
God, Banana Ripple is such a great name. I don't know the track too well and don't think I've heard the album more than once or twice.
84. Iceage - You're Blessed
Iceage. They're amusing to see in the pages of Spin and Rolling Stone. This song sounds like it should have come out two or three years ago.
83. Tiger & Woods - Gin Nation
I haven't heard this song. It sounds like it belongs in mixes. And 2009.
82. John Maus - Believer
AHHHHH alright, the first real disappointment in this list. 'Believer' is certainly one of the year's best tracks. Not the 82 best, the 10 best. Come on!!
81. Yuck - Get Away
Hahaha. Instead of saying 'come on!!' at first I had 'yuck!' but changed it to avoid it coming off as a lame joke. I like this song a lot. Belongs in the same bucket as 'You're Blessed' and Japandroids. I genuinely like the blurb's shout out to high schoolers.
80. Fucked Up - Queen of Hearts
I will forever associate this track (and the album's intro) with driving into Madison after a moonlit car ride back from seeing Okkervil River + Titus + Future Islands in Minneapolis with my friends. As the sun had risen and my tiredness was shifting to the excited feeling I get after accomplishing something big and fun, Christian put this on and started the day. Man, what a great memory!
79. Kelly Rowland - Motivation [ft. Lil Wayne]
Wow, how have I not heard this until today? I had no idea Kelly Rowland was still making music. The production on this sounds like it was made for dubstep remixes.
78. Sandro Perri - Changes
Oh wow, this is really great. I have never heard of Sandro Perri! Will definitely look into him though.
77. Cults - Abducted
This is good. Cults has come so far! Makin' the big #77 on the Best Tracks of 2011 P4k List. Who would have thought? I think my first introduction to the band was this super-indie blog post:
76. Julianna Barwick - Prizewinning
Wow JB. You slay me! Actually, I want you to slay me. For some reason I have never gotten into your music. I like what I've heard and promise to listen to you more. "Barwick's celestial vocals gradually flood the track, confirming that there is indeed reverb in heaven." As if there was ever any doubt!!
75. Washed Out - Amor Fati
If only every Washed Out song was as incredible as "Feel It All Around"..right? This is really Washed Out. I'm satisfied with this ranking.
74. Dum Dum Girls - Wrong Feels Right
I haven't been keeping track, but this is at least the second review to mention striking 'the gut'. I guess I understand.
73. tUnE-yArDs - Powa
Nothing really to say about this one. I'm glad tUnE-yArDs isn't fading into obscurity or eccentric indie purgatory. Questionable blurb. Congrats to Garbus for garnering the most unlikely comparison to 1970s Jamaican dub!
72. Britney Spears - Till the World Ends [ft. Nicki Minaj & Ke$ha] (The Femme Fatale Remix)
Hopefully this isn't the only track featuring Ke$ha on this list!
71. The Men - Batailles
I haven't heard this song. Rock and roll! The hi-hat sounds perfect.
70. Holy Ghost! - Jam For Jerry
Oh wow, I didn't know this song existed. I'm glad I found it in this list.
69. Neon Indian - Polish Girl
What a good song. This is another one I feel I've heard more times than I probably have.
68. The Joy Formidible - Whirring
One of those bands I haven't gotten to yet. I liked the song though. Worth checking out probably.
67. Rihanna - We Found Love [ft. Calvin Harris]
Here's my second big beef with this list. This song is tremendous and should be much higher on the list. A travesty!
66. DJ Quik - Killer Dope
Not a big fan of this one. Sorry Quik!
65. Fleet Foxes - Grown Ocean
I realize FF will likely have a few songs on this list, but this seems awfully low. 65? I guess there were a lot of good songs this year..
64. Toro Y Moi - New Beat
This should've been #65.
63. Bon Iver - Perth
This song is so incredible. It should be higher. At least it's higher than 'New Beat'. What a perfect opener. I love the percussion in this song.
62. Liturgy - Generation
Yes yes yes.
61. Eleanor Friedberger - My Mistakes
I haven't heard this album yet. My first impression of this song is that it reminds of my "All My Friends".
60. Adele - Someone Like You
This song owned my year. In my top 10 for sure.
59. Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire - The Last Huzzah! [ft. Despot, Das Racist, Danny Brown, and El-P] (Remix)
This is kind of like this year's "Swagga Like Us"
58. PJ Harvey - The Words That Maketh Murder
I still haven't listened to this album, which I should probably do soon since I've had a copy of it in my apartment for the better part of this year.
57. The Weeknd - House of Balloons
God, this is still terrific.
56. M83 - Intro [ft. Zola Jesus]
I just listened to this album for the first time straight through a few days ago. This is a great enough opener that it's hard listening to the second half of the album because I always start at the beginning.
55. Destroyer - Chinatown
A solid mid-50s pick.
54. Gil Scott-Heron and Jamie xx - I'll Take Care of U
A great song made better by the Drake companion. I want to be a DJ so I can play this song for everyone, every night. The progression of this song through covers on covers on covers is so impressive and wonderful.
53. Real Estate - Green Aisles
This is very pleasant. I don't think I've heard this album more than once or twice but I recall liking it quite a bit.
52. Action Bronson - Larry Csonka
I have never heard of Action Bronson, and I have never heard of Larry Csonka. I like this!
51. Todd Terje - Snooze 4 Love
Ah, Todd Terje. I remember this coming out but don't think I've heard it since listening to it on a blog somewhere. It's good.
50. Atlas Sound - Mona Lisa
I'm content with this placement. 'Te Amo' had better be in the single digits!
49. Katy B - Broken Record
In looking up this song (which I'd heard a few times on napster) i found a jacques greene remix. Aw yeah!
48. Kreayshawn - Gucci Gucci
Should be higher!
47. Battles - Ice Cream [ft. Matias Aguayo]
Ooh, this is a great song. Fantastic video!
46. Ty Segall - Goodbye Bread
I haven't listened to Ty much at all.
45. Drake - Headlines
One of my almost-favorite top 40 rap singles of the year. This is a decent spot on the list for it.
44. Nicolas Jaar - Space Is Only Noise You Can See
I have never listened to this man. Very Interesting.
43. Panda Bear - Last Night At The Jetty
It looks like we're getting into the really terrific songs of 2011.
42. Jay-Z & Kanye West - Otis
41. Frank Ocean - Novacane
40. Burial - Street Halo
I would not put this so high on the list. It's good, but I feel it ranks among the 50s or 60s in this list. I really miss the 'old' burial beats on this song.
39. Shabazz Palaces - Swerve... the reeping of all that is worthwhile (Noir not withstanding)
I really hope 'an echo from..' is on this list!
38. Purity Ring - Ungirthed
I've never heard this song. It's Nice!
37. ASAP Rocky - Peso
36. Jamie xx - Far Nearer
35. Charli XCX - Stay Away
Never heard this. It's Aight
34. Cut Copy - Need You Now
This is a great song. A solid mid-30s track.. maybe should be higher.
33. AraabMuzik - Streetz Tonight
This is a good choice from electronic dream. Not an obvious one, but I'll take it. Wonder if there's gonna be anything else.. it's unlikely at this point in the list.
32. Cold Cave - The Great Pan Is Dead
Completely forgot about this song! This is a terrific cut. I still haven't heard the album though.
31. The Field - Then It's White
This is great. A good spot for the song in this list.
30. Clams Casino - Motivation
This was Clams Casino's year. I am excited to see this song at #30 because it gives me hope that I'm God is in the top 10.
29. Jai Paul - BTSTU
I've never heard of this man. Great sounding song... will be interesting to see what the follow-up is like in 2012.
28. Danny Brown - Monopoly
Somehow I haven't listened to XXX yet. I like the songs I've heard.
27. The Rapture - How Deep Is Your Love?
This song's chorus reminds me of a pop song from the 90s.
26. Beyonce - 1+1
OMG Beyonce. This is perfection. Deserves a higher spot.
25. Soulja Boy - Zan With That Lean
Really? I am a Soulja Boy fan but this song means nothing to me. This song doesn't belong on this list.
24. Kurt Vile - Jesus Fever
Though hearing Kurt's version never fails to make me wish I was hearing Molly play this on her ukelele instead, I suppose it's alright that he's at spot #24 instead of her. This is a great song. This year's analogue to 'Walkabout'?
23. Adele - Rolling in the Deep
An obvious top-5 pick for best pop singles of the year. Dude, Adele has got to be so rich right now.
22. Bill Callahan - Riding for the Feeling
This is a masterpiece. If this song is at #22 I can't wait for the top 20. (Okay, I have been waiting for the top 20 since i read the top 20 of the 2010 list)
21. Drake - Marvin's Room
Aw man. Great song. So quotable!
20. Gang Gang Dance - Glass Jar
Nice. I hope this means Mindkilla is in the top ten!
19. Lana Del Ray - Video Games
A perfect spot for this song. It's really good. Really good. But there were some really really good songs this year and it feels good casting LDR away in favor of the really really good stuff. You know?
18. St. Vincent - Cruel
This is is perfect. I had forgotten about this album/song. I really love the guitar solo at about 1:15.
17. Oneohtrix Point Never - Replica
A deserving slot.
16. Tyler, the Creator - Yonkers
I'm surprised this isn't higher! It's the perfect OF single. Whatever.
15. The Weeknd - The Morning
Awwwl that money, the money is the motive
14. Girls - Vomit
This is a pretty big-sounding song. It deserves it's ranking here even though I'm not sure where I'd put it on my list.
13. tUnE-yArDs - Bizness
Yeah, this is awesome.
12. Jay-Z & Kanye West - Neighbors in Paris
Yeah, this is awesome.
11. James Blake - The Wilhelm Scream
Yeah, this might be the best track of the year.
10. DJ Khaled - I'm on One [ft. Drake, Rick Ross, and Lil Wayne]
I have never heard of this song. Where were you, Post-Library?
9. Azealia Banks - 212
Ahhh really? I guess. It is a great song but this ranking is questionable. Tom Ewing calls this a 'banger'. This is the definition of a banger.
8. Cass McCombs - County Line
Cass McCombs. I haven't gotten this album yet, and I haven't heard this song more than once or twice. Yet I approve of this ranking on my first listen and the good faith that the song will grow on me as the rest of his stuff has. I feel like I finally 'got' 'You Saved My Life' this year.
7. Beyonce - Countdown
This wasn't my favorite of the upbeat, potentially world-dominating songs from '4'. It is really great though.
6. Destroyer - Kaputt
Destroyer was destined for critics' best-of lists. He had to have something on the top of this list.
5. Real Estate - It's Real
AHH I need to listen to this cd more!
4. Nicki Minaj - Super Bass
Ah. okay. Not my pick for this song (i'd stick it around the 40s at the highest). Bummer. I'm sure the last 3 will be perfect...
3. EMA - California
Oh my god!! Wow. Very surprised. But then, this is a great song. This is perfect. Nice work Pfunk.
2. Bon Iver - Holocene
Wow. This song. Another perfect pick.
This was my text to Will yesterday trying to guess the top song of this list.
"If it's girls i'll poo myself. Midnight City? Yonkers? Video games, wilhelm scream are my four best guesses"
Looks like we might have a winner, as only one of those hasn't been listed yet..
1. M83 - Midnight City
A perfect choice. This song slays.

Lions' Player Ratings vs Hurricanes
In their final midweek game of the tour, the Lions faced the reigning Super Rugby champions the Hurricanes.
Despite only featuring four New Zealand internationals, the least of all the Super Rugby sides the Lions played, the Hurricanes squad featured some of the most exciting players in Super Rugby.
The Lions went back to their normal midweek squad with this being the last chance any of them had to stake a claim for the test side. Fringe players such as Courtney Lawes and George North needed to deliver if they wanted to run out with the side on Saturday.
After a tries from Tommy Seymour and George North, in addition to penalties from Dan Biggar, and a Hurricanes reply from Callum Gibbons, the Lions led 23-7 at halftime.
The Lions were far superior but early in the second half we got an indication that the Hurricanes had come out with a new motivation and would give the Lions a challenge.
The second half started perfectly for the home side with Ngani Laumape scoring with barely a minute on the clock. Seymour then crossed for his second and the Lions lead extended to 17-31. Depsite controlling the game, the Lions found themselves on the ropes when tries from Wes Goosen and Vaea Fifita tied the game at 31-31. The game ended when a Biggar drop goal landed just under the crossbar and this classic finished in a draw.
Arguably the best game on tour and with all that considered, let's look at how the Lions rated:

Today is my second travel day on my way to Maldives. After few hours sleep in Kuala Lumpur airport i took my flight to Male.
For many people Maldives is a dream destination! I need to be honest: i never had a dream visiting it. Thought i had it in my mind and it feels like something interesting to see. When i have found 150$ return tickets from Kuala Lumpur to Male i have realised, that i would never have a better chance and i need to give it a go.
My flight arrived in Friday, which is a day of rest here in Maldives. That means, i got no chance to catch any public ferry to my island and have a choice of staying somewhere in the airport till next day and catching night ferry (100$ + public ferry which goes at night + i'm loosing 1,5 days for it) or simply taking this speed ferry for 100$. Mathematics works! The only thing is that i never thought i would have to wait for it for 6 hours! Really, getting to Maldives is tricky! And expensive! Male airport happened to be probably the most expensive place i ever been. Coffee 5,5$, something to eat starts fro 10$, sunscreen 44$. And i got no choice, but to pay for food it as i need something to eat! :-))) Anyway, after this long travel time, i finally arrived to Maldives and finally ready to enjoy it's beauty next few days!
