ARE YOU THERE VODKA? IT'S ME, CHELSEA by Chelsea Handler
As previously mentioned on this blog, I am now dividing my reading between day books and night books. Day books are so named, you will be astonished to learn, because I read them during the day. Night books are chosen to keep me company when I can't sleep, and are generally cheerful and silly.
ARE YOU THERE VODKA? IT'S ME, CHELSEA, seemed to fit the bill as a night book, being a loosely autobiographical collection of comic short stories, written by a quite successful female American comedian. I always want to support women in comedy, as it's such a misogynist field, with the two available roles for women (virgin and whore) providing not much space to be funny in.
Unfortunately the book also didn't have much space for funny. It badly needed an editor, being sloppily and repetitively written. It also seriously needed some fresh ideas. There is an entire story about midgets. You'd think every joke that could be made in that area had already been made, and you'd be right, but this didn't stop this writer. There's also a lot of stuff about vibrators, which while less overdone that midgets is hardly comedy gold.
I do like the title, based on the young adult classic ARE YOU THERE GOD? IT'S ME, MARGARET by Judy Blume. But that's about it.

After reading the title I thought it was going to be a confessional autobiography of a past alcoholic. the content bamboozled me. Jokes are the most difficult thing to do. A friend once said during a discussion, what if after all no one laugh?ReplyDelete
I hate books that are badly editing and I wonder if I would go in for this. Thanks for letting me know.ReplyDelete
Exactly Nana - she is safe in a book because she can't hear that no one is laughing! But then maybe it is just me, she is very poular.ReplyDelete
Geosi I hate bad editing too, and this was awful - lots of strange repetitions, and clumsy sentences - painful.

A new location of Nancy's Pizzeria is coming to Conyers. The Chicago-style, deep-dish pizza restaurant, which will be at least the sixth in Georgia, will open in a former Mattress Firm in Conyers Plaza, a Walmart Supercenter-anchored shopping center on Dogwood Drive. Floyd Sims, a multi-unit franchisee of McDonald's, and his "Legends Property Management & Investments,LLC" are opening the new pizzeria.
|The latest iteration of the Nancy's logo
Sims, who at one time owned at least seven McDonald's restaurants, currently serves as the Vice President & Secretary/Treasurer of National Black McDonald's Operators Association. (NBMOA), according to its website.
The new restaurant, which will join an outparcel strip center already home to The Juicy Crab, is being designed by Barker Nester, Inc, architects from Chicago, where Nancy's is based. The new Nancy's will be just over 5,000 square feet and joins existing Atlanta area locations already opened in Midtown, Buckhead, East Point and Johns Creek.
As ToNeTo Atlanta reported earlier this year, Nancy's Pizzeria also plans to open a similarly sized new restaurant in the Walmart Supercenter-anchored Perimeter Village on Ashford Duwnoody Road in Dunwoody.
In addition to the multiple Nancy's in development, Gino's East of Chicago, another Chicago-based Chicago-style pizzeria, is also planning a new restaurant in metro Atlanta. ToNeTo Atlanta reported last month that Gino's has leased the short-lived Rize Pizza on North Highland Avenue in Poncey-Highland. The restaurant, which is expected to open later this year, will be the chain's first in Georgia.
Are you pleased to see the expansion of Chicago-style pizzerias in metro Atlanta? Where would you like to see the next Chicago-style pizzeria open? Who in metro Atlanta makes the best Chicago style pizza?
Please share your thoughts below.

Product Description
A look inside the fairness doctrine and its impact on politics and free speech in American talk radio.
About the Author
Brian Jennings is one of nation's top talk radio programmers who served as National V.P. of Talk Programming for Citadel Broadcasting, one of the nation's largest radio companies for over a decade and served as programming head to over 40 radio stations nationwide. According to Talker's Magazine, he is also one of the founding fathers of the conservative talk radio format. Nominated 5 times as a national talk radio executive of the year by Radio and Records Magazine, Jennings is also a national award-winning journalist.

Considered one of the foremost authorities on talk radio today, Jennings resides in the Pacific Northwest and is a frequent guest on radio and television programs throughout the nation and a staunch defender of free speech.
It is not only about silencing the talk radio folks. Liberal democRATs want to silence everyone that speaks out against their agenda of destroying the USA and the Western Civilization.
WSJ has an article about this book:
Crying Foul Over 'Fairness' by Randall BLOOMQUIST
The real threat to talk radio comes from regulators and activists who favor government control of broadcast content by other means. Most notable of these is the proposed "localism" policy now wending its way through the FCC rule-making process. Introduced in 2007 by, oddly enough, the Republican-controlled FCC headed by Bush-appointee Kevin Martin, the initiative would increase community involvement with broadcast stations and require them to provide "locally-oriented programming." An Obama FCC is likely to be even more avid: The president himself is on record as opposing the Fairness Doctrine but favoring media ownership caps and "opening up the airwaves . . . to as many diverse viewpoints as possible." In February, Michael Copps, a Democrat currently serving as acting chairman of the FCC, echoed Mr. Obama when he told CNSNews.com: "If markets cannot produce what society really cares about, like a media that reflects the true diversity and spirit of our country, then government has a legitimate role to play."
Read this again folks:
"If markets cannot produce what society really cares about, like a media that reflects the true diversity and spirit of our country, then government has a legitimate role to play."
Read it again...
"If markets cannot produce what society really cares about, like a media that reflects the true diversity and spirit of our country, then government has a legitimate role to play."
This is how liberal democRAT minds work...
"If markets cannot produce what society really cares about"
Question 1) Isn't it in the best interest of the producers to produce what the "society" -- consumers -- want? Isn't that how free markets work? If you look at a free radio market and you see conservative talk radio thriving, isn't that proof enough that the consumers want and demand it?
Question 2) I am sorry. Our liberal RAT said "society really cares about" not "demands or wants". I see... Well, I still have a question, a big one: Who determines "what society really cares about"? Really folks, if free markets where individuals act upon their preferences is not a good enough proof for what they care about then who decides "what society really cares about"?
You see, the liberal RATs always know what is good for the society and want to decide for us. They already determined that us having the freedom to tune into any radio program we like is not a good thing for the society. They will come up with a scheme to take that freedom away from us so we are forced to listen to the government approved programming. This is how RATs operate folks. They already decided that we should drive either itsy bitsy cars or ride the mass transit. We are not stupid enough to do it so Obama is taking over our car companies, turning them into government motors to produce cars he wants us to drive. He is taking our choices away. For what? For the "Good of Society". He knows what is good for the society and if you disagree with him he will find a way to silence you.
Let's keep parsing...
"like a media that reflects the true diversity and spirit of our country,"
Again, free people acting on their own individual preferences and making decisions is not acceptable and it is not diverse enough for the liberal democRAT morons. What the hell is a diversity anyways if you do not let individuals be individuals? Well, we all know what it is... Liberal democRAT play book of promoting fringe ideas and cultures into mainstream acceptance to destroy our own culture and civilization. Same idea again: RATs want to be in the position to determine what "diversity and spirit of the country" is.
What is the theme here again: RATs like Obama want to have total control over our lives. They want to have the command and control of our lives. How are they going to do it?
"then government has a legitimate role to play."
That is how they are going to do it. They will use the power of government. They already are doing it.

|"A fence differs from a wall in not having a solid foundation along its whole length."
- Dr D G Hessayon (1992). The Garden DIY Expert. pbi publications. p. 5
New Wall Segment - Spring 2019
Our next project has been identified - a new segment of stone wall - that we will build in the spring of 2019. More details to follow ...
Contact Us to get added to updates on this project.
Restoration Site 2 - summer / fall 2018
Our second project looked simple at the start. Approximately ten feet of wall had collapsed and it looked like a straightforward rebuild. However, as we started cleaning up the fallen stones, we discovered that much of the adjacent wall was about to collapse as well. So ten feet turned into almost forty feet, and a pleasant weekend project ended up taking almost five months. Brave souls worked through subzero temperatures, 90 km winds and blowing snow to finish this segment on November 10, 2018. Thanks to Laura for being a gracious host and keeping the team well hydrated. See details of our Projects.

Dry Stone Wall Project Garage Sale
May 19, 2018
A garage sale was held to raise funds for the Dry Stone Wall Project. Thanks to Keitha and all the organizers, the people who contributed great stuff, and all the happy shoppers.
April 2018 Workshop - Restoration Site 1
Our first stone wall restoration workshop was held on April 28-29 2018, where we worked on the walls at 505 Morrison Point Rd., Accommodating Bay Trailer Park. See details of the April 2018 restoration workshop.
The Morrison Point Dry Stone Wall Project is a neighbourhood-based, non-profit volunteer initiative based in South Marysburgh Township, Prince Edward County (PEC), Ontario, Canada.
The stone walls of Morrison Point Road are beautiful, extensive, unique and historic, yet many are in disrepair or have been removed. A number of landowners on the road have expressed an interest in volunteering time and resources to the project. In the fall of 2017, representatives of Dry Stone Canada were contacted and they expressed an interest in helping with this project. One challenge is that the walls abut private property and likely improve the value of these properties. Therefore, there is potential for individual gain through the efforts of the community. As a result, the intent of this document is to provide guidance so that all decisions and actions are transparent, fair and agreed upon by the community at large.
Restore, replace and potentially expand the dry stone walls (DSW) of Morrison Point Road and surrounding areas.
Develop a base of skilled volunteers willing to help with the tasks of maintaining and improving the DSWs
Document the history of the DSW of Morrison Point Road and their current state
Document and share the activities of restoration and expansion.
Celebrate the DSWs and the community spirit of Morrison Point through a variety of events.
Conduct a training workshop for volunteers to provide or improve skills in stone wall construction and maintenance.
Continue restoration of existing sections of wall that are in need of repair.
Promote the heritage value of the existing stone walls and the significance of their restoration to attract more/new volunteers.
Raise funds to contribute to the cost of instructors, workshop participant fees, and supplies and materials.
Hold a celebration event for the road and workshop participants.
Les Stanfield (538 Morrison Point Rd.), Alan Weekes (553) and Greg Forbes (620) have volunteered to help coordinate the efforts of the project for 2019. Other project team members are being sought and the organizational structure will evolve as we determine the level of interest.
Each category of opportunity will require different actions by the volunteers and land owners. To ensure fairness, a steering committee will be established that will evaluate the following to select priority work projects for any given year.:
Land owners on the steering committee must recuse themselves from discussions and decisions about potential work carried out by the Project Team on their own property.
It is hoped that in the early years we will train enough qualified people that future work days can both train new volunteers and expand the rate of work that is done. As our knowledge and skill grows, it is also hoped that several types of projects could occur simultaneously utilizing any number of approaches. For example, community resources might be expended on an expansion of walls to public lands; or individual land owners may decide to purchase materials to build a new fence and take advantage of neighbours' and friends' kindness. Others may simply wish to pay to have a fence built.
Anything is possible, but as a non-profit, community-based initiative, we hope to collectively contribute to the improvement of the overall beauty and historical value of our unique area.
Morrison Point Road in Prince Edward County, Ontario has a unique charm and character thanks to its special location and history.
The soil of Morrison Point Road is notoriously shallow. The geology is Paleozoic Middle Ordovician, where the bedrock is exposed with typically less than 1 meter of drift cover. The 1878 Beldon historic atlas states "... geologically, its composition is in a high degree calcareous, the limestone coming to the surface with such prominence as to render the soil in many places incapable of sustaining vegetable growth through the seasons of continual drought."
Dry stone wall construction has been going on for thousands of years, since the Neolithic period, and in the United Kingdom since c3200 BC. The stability of the underlying Morrison Point Road limestone makes the stone wall foundations very stable, and the shallow soil cover provides ready access to a good supply of field stone. While dry stone construction around the world is sometimes based on quarried stone, the Morrison Point Road walls are all built from locally collected stones from the immediate fields along the road. They are double skinned walls, where there are literally two walls gently leaning towards each other, with the gap packed tightly with hearting (stone rubble) to make the outer faces very stable.
More to come ...

Someone once said - " Experience it for yourself".
We could not agree more. Traveling is not about the miles you go but the journey and experience.
Women who love to travel are independent and free spirited, adventurous and intelligent. She is confident and secure, bold and daring and does not hesitate from showing her feminine side. She likes to explore new things, build new relationships and discover places keeping her style intact.
On one hand we do advise you to travel light and comfortable, so on the other hand we would also like you to stay equipped for any kind of situation you may face. Don't get us wrong, we do not mean you have to look like you just walked out of Harrods but what we mean is - travel independently and like a pro.
So here are the things you must keep in mind before you pack your bags -
Pack Light - Traveling means a lot of moving around, visiting places, discovering things and well sometimes hitch hiking. In that case, you would want to stay as mobile as possible. So pack things that are necessary and with which you can hop around places without even thinking twice.
Don't forget to pack a dress - Always advisable to keep at least one dress and a pair of nice shoes in case you happen to attend a dressy event or you meet someone who you would want to go out with. You just never know when the situation might arrive. Therefore stay ready.
Skin care essentials - Traveling can get exhausting. You will have to deal with changing weather, dust, sun, rain and what not. Therefore make sure you carry all your skin care essentials. Night cream, day cream, sun block lotion and face wash are your best friends here. Most importantly - always keep yourself hydrated by carrying a water bottle.
Do not depend on the tour guide - If being independent matters to you then we simply suggest you look-up information online with the help of your smartphones. Most of what you need to know or discover is available online. Well for those who are not very tech savvy, invest in a good guide book. Knowledge is power so keep yourself well informed. Another point, the tour guide may cheat you but a book will never.
When in Rome, act like a Roman - Get to know the culture. Meet the natives of the place, do what they do, eat what they eat. Make new friends , use the local transport to get the real feel of the place. Only then will you be able to call your travel "An Experience".
Be safe - Be independent but also be safe. Ask questions, find out which part of the city is not safe for women, keep your wallets, passports in a protected area, make sure you stay around people and watch-out for pick pockets.
Travel made delightful. Visit our website to explore www.atizfashionhouse.in

Stronger Together? Mark Lilla, Identity, and Politics
The identity liberals' approach to fishing is to remain on shore, yelling at the fish about the historical wrongs visited on them by the sea, and the need for aquatic life to renounce its privilege. All in the hope that the fish will collectively confess their sins and swim to shore to be netted. If that is your approach to fishing, you had better become a vegan.
In the immediate aftermath of the 2016 presidential election, Mark Lilla published an essay on 'The End of Identity Liberalism'. That piece proved popular, though it was more criticized than celebrated, at least among fellow liberals. The Once and Future Liberal extends his critique, if only ever-so-slightly. The work is telling and timely. But its diagnosis is hardly new and, in the end, Lilla's prognosis is as thin as the book itself.
Lilla asks why those who'd 'claim to speak for the great American demos [are] so indifferent to stirring its feelings and gaining its trust?' His answer is an identity politics that 'engages with the world and particularly politics with the limited aim of understanding and affirming what one already is.' The resulting, inward focus on the personal and unique – race, gender, sexual orientation, etc – allows for group affiliation with those similarly situated. But this depth comes at the expense of breadth. In this sense, identity politics arguably undermines a broader rhetoric and politics of shared experiences and common goods.
If this obsession with identity is especially evident on college campuses like Lilla's own, he notes its impact far beyond, not least in the hysterical weeping and gnashing of teeth that it inspires on the Right. Indeed, the liberal flight to identity and difference accelerated a parallel development among conservative nationalists (assisted, no doubt, by the election of the country's first black president). The result is that many White Americans now see themselves as our nation's real victims.
The first part of The Once and Future Liberal provides Lilla's genealogy of our present predicament. He suggests that
American political history over the past century can usefully be divided into two "dispensations," to invoke the Christian theological term. The first, the Roosevelt Dispensation, stretched from the era of the New Deal to the era of the civil rights movement and the Great Society in the 1960s, and then exhausted itself in the 1970s. The second, the Reagan Dispensation, began in 1980 and is now being brought to a close by an opportunistic, unprincipled populist.
Each of these 'brought with it an inspiring image of America's destiny and a distinctive catechism of doctrines that set the terms of political debate.' Each was broad-based and joined together large sections of the country to effect political change. And each was rooted in specific circumstances that made them possible.
The current dispensations, if any, are unclear. But Lilla rightly notes just how dire the present political situation is for Democrats. Among other influences, the fixation on presidential politics – its 'daddy issue' – distracts from local and state races that govern much of our lives and that function as nurseries for national leaders. Republicans dominate across much of the nation, a legacy of President Obama rather than candidate Clinton. And Lilla expresses his frustration with 'noble defeats', urging a more practical electoral politics. Compromise in real contexts, he notes, is essential to sustainable political successes. Sadly, liberals have 'lost the habit of taking the temperature of public opinion, building consensus, and taking small steps.'
While religion is rarely mentioned explicitly in the book, its imagery is everywhere. If, for example, progressives prefer to preach rather than to persuade:
Elections are not prayer meetings, and no one is interested in your personal testimony. They are not therapy sessions or occasions to obtain recognition. They are not seminars or "teaching moments." They are not about exposing degenerates and running them out of town. If you want to save America's soul, consider becoming a minister. If you want to force people to confess their sins and convert, don a white robe and head to the River Jordan. If you are determined to bring the Last Judgment down on the United States of America, become a god. But if you want to win the country back from the right, and bring about lasting change for the people you care about, it's time to descend from the pulpit.
Both evangelism and movement politics, Lilla writes, are 'about speaking truth to power.' But '[p]olitics is about seizing power to defend the truth.' For better or worse, real political change in the American context requires focussing on the specific needs and norms of actual communities and, if necessary, grinding out political victories.
Much of what Lilla suggests echoes communitarian critics of the last generation. Largely identifying with the Left, they challenged what they saw as the hyper-individualistic rhetoric and ontology of both economic and social liberalism. They insisted then, as Lilla does now, on the importance of the common good. They criticized the Left's failure to emphasize social responsibilities as well as individual rights. They saw a dependence on American courts to right wrongs, rather than its legislatures, to be dangerously short-sighted.
There are some important differences, too. Rawlsian liberalism could be attacked as trading on a naive view of individuals as "unencumbered selves". The contemporary identity liberalism that Lilla assails suggests a self so encumbered by uniqueness as to inhibit its empathy with others, not least those with whom you disagree politically. These liberals have little interest or faith in stirring the feelings or gaining the trust of the great unwashed of the American demos.
The Once and Future Liberal is a valuable critique of what is, and perhaps what once was. But Lilla's liberalism is too lean for the future. His sense of citizenship, his liberal virtues of solidarity and equality before the law, are almost entirely empty of content. In the end, Lilla offers too little with which liberals might escape their present identity crisis.

Sorry for not blogging for so long! (Yes, 4 days is long)
In this style tips and tricks, I will be talking about incorporating accessories to your daily outfits!
Original ideas by yours truly, Jocelyn.
Alright, so now, you are a pro in putting together an outfit, but something just doesn't seem right, it seems... empty. This is where accessories come in! Accessories can not only provide variations of your outfit, it can also make an boring plain outfit, into something cool and edgy!
I am sure you guys, if you follow my blog regularly, know that I am a fan of plain black and white, or just plain colors, without prints. This is why I love accessories, as they heighten the overall feel of my outfits, into a whole new level.
My definition of accessories include hats, bracelets, sunglasses, shoes, makeup, hair/headbands, ring, watches, necklaces, earrings and bags. I would talk about the first 3 for now :)
There are many kinds of hats, the two kinds that I love are nonetheless the fedora and the flat cap. However, they are both tricky hats to incorporate with any outfits. It is very normal to see someone wearing a fedora with very masculine outfits, like a tank top and a pair of jeans plus a vest. However, if you see my "Outfit of the day" page, you would have seen me incorporating my fedora with a dress and a net-cape/gauze top, and it turned, I would say, pretty well :)
Next, is the flat cap. Alright, I know flat caps are meant to be made for guys, but hey, don't you see a lot of girls/women wearing them too? Anyway, flat caps are one of the prettiest cap i've ever seen! So, why not just give it a try? There are many kinds of fabric for flat caps, they are the leather, denim and cloth. Leather has always been referred to as a "rock" fabric, so by incorporating leather flat caps to your outfits, it will totally "rock" your outfit, of course, if it is paired with the right outfit. For example, the most classic one would be leather leggings/jeans, a white tank top, a moto blazer/jacket, a pair of shades, and topped up with the leather flat cap.
However, don't you get bored of these "classic" outfits? You can definitely pair it with a miniskirt outfit, and replace the jeans with knee-length heeled boots instead. This will definitely lengthen your legs, and heighten your body.
Denim flat caps are always fun to match outfits with, as the material makes it so versatile. Denim flat caps can be paired with many kinds of hairstyle, even fishtail braids. This is because denims looks more gentle, not so over-the-top and less edgy.
Denim flat caps can be paired especially with these jumpsuits. Fold it to above your ankle and pair it with a pair of strapped-on high heels to portray a new way of wearing denim flat caps!
Moving on to bracelets, there is, obviously, many types of bracelets/wrist accessories. There is the statement charm bracelets (cool ones from juicy couture), bangles, the famous friendship bands and wrist cuffs.
Accessories with buckle features are signature for a rocker style, whereas golden and silver bangles contrastingly portrays a girly character. Charm bracelets are great as an add on to your (initially) plain outfit, as it adds character to the whole look! Friendship bands are just classic accessories that will never be out of date, as they are just classic add-ons, as ornaments/adornment.
Moving on to sunglasses, there are ALSO many types of sunglasses ;) You just have to pick the one that suits your face-shape! Firstly, introducing the types of sunglasses, there is the aviator, the wayferer, the oversized, shutter shades, oval, tea shades, butterfly and the wrap-around sunglasses. Yes, this is a lot to tackle, but, you just need to focus on the ONE that flatters you the most. Here is a link for you to determine YOUR sunglasses.
Sunglasses not only protect you from contact with UV rays, they are also a great adornment! They can surely make you look chic instantly. If you are indoor, just slide it up your head! It looks perfect too. If you have that oval/heart shape face that flatters all kinds of sunglasses, well lucky you! Get sporty instantly with a pair of wraparound sunglasses paired with sportswear. Aviator glasses are amazing as since they are initially meant for pilots/men, it then gives a more masculine feel.
That's all dearies!

Jim Varney was a character actor and comedian who came into the public spotlight in the 1990s playing a fictional country bumpkin character named Ernest P. Worrell in a series of television commercials that almost always began with his shouting "Hey Vern!" into the camera. Varney rode that horse into a couple of "Ernest" feature films, as well as some other minor roles. Before all this, he'd had a steady career on television on shows like "Johnny Cash and Friends" and "Fernwood 2 Night". But Disney fans know him best as the voice of the loyal and lovable Slinky Dog in the first two Toy Story movies. Sadly, Jim passed away in 2000. We obtained this autographed index card from Joe Krause Enterprises in 1997.

Spurs 1-0 Palace
Short one this week I'm afraid. Busy man!
Crystal Palace suffered a gut-wrenching defeat at Wembley on Sunday after missing a multitude of guilt-edged chances against Spurs. Paulo Gazzaniga, who stood in for the injured Hugo Lloris, denied Scott Dann, Luka Milivojevic, Andros Townsend and, arguably illegally, Mamadou Sakho before Son scored for the hosts.
The biggest chance of the game was missed by Wilfried Zaha, who rounded Gazzaniga and fired wide of the open net.
Roy Hodgson's Time is Ticking Nonsense
I have read a few reports since the match that suggest that Roy Hodgson's "time is ticking" as Crystal Palace manager. This is utter bullshit.
Since Hodgson came in, the team has looked increasingly more organised, fitter and dangerous. To point to the fact that he has only won two of his first nine games in charge is simply ill-informed. We've lost only once at home and lost away at Man City, Man City and very unfortunately at Newcastle and Spurs and with a second string at Bristol City. Sam Allardyce won only two of his first eleven games in charge and that was with a fully fit Christian Benteke and Wilfried Zaha.
The next eight games will be the time to judge Roy Hodgson. When he can finally pick an actual striker, a plight that is not his fault, we will start to see exactly the impact that Roy has had on the team.
Let's look at this Spurs match in isolation. Tactically, Hodgson got it perfect. We played narrow at the back and conceded the space out wide. With only Harry Kane in the middle up against Sakho, Dann and Milivojevic, Hodgson fancied that we could keep the prolific man quiet on crosses – he was right. Without Dele Alli in the team, he put the hones on Spurs to break us down through the middle. With Cabaye in the form he is in and with Milivojevic and Schlupp buzzing around, he fancied that their industry could keep Spurs' effective second string midfield quiet. He was right.
With Townsend and Zaha as a front two, you're always likely to get free kicks in and around the area and taking advantage of these would be our chance. On any other day, we would have had a couple of goals from this avenue of attack.
Then, as Spurs got more frustrated at not being able to break us down, the more they overcommitted and the more that space was going to open in behind on a big pitch like Wembley. Again, on another day, we would have a couple of goals through this route.
Of course, it didn't quite work out on the day, but as Roy says: "you get what you get and not necessarily what you deserve."
For the third week running, we didn't win because we didn't have a striker on the field. But, you know, maybe the Sun will come up tomorrow.
Kevin Friend and his team
I haven't laid into a referee recently, so here goes.
What a pile of shit he was.
I am not sure if I buy into the Gazzaniga on Sakho being a penalty. Sure, the keeper was nowhere near the ball and he punched, albeit accidentally, Sakho in the face, but he had to make himself big there and I just think that it is unfortunate.
The main problem for me, with all the niggly decisions that he gave to Spurs yet not to Palace aside, was the decision that Friend (or maybe his assistant) made to stop play when Son played injured in the penalty area. Palace had Spurs on the ropes like a boxer trying to survive post a knockdown and Son simply laid down in the penalty area until the referee blew his whistle. As soon as he did blow the whistle, Son was up on his feet, was not even made to leave the field of play and moments later, scored before sprinting in celebration and executing a knee slide – the injury must have been terrible. I was infuriating.
Man of the Match: Mamadou Sakho
He was, in a word, brilliant. Spurs came out of the blocks fast and he repelled everything they had to throw at us and gave us a platform to build on. Later, he was like a one-man wall as Palace looked for an equaliser.
Up Next: Everton
The international break comes at a good time for us. It is a chance for us to get Christian Benteke closer to fitness and for Hodgson to further drill his ideas into the players. Then, it is a big game – probably against a Sam Allardyce team. Hopefully, if he is their manager, he will start as badly there as he did at Palace.
Come on you Palace!

Remember those days when we used to get video game versions of most of the superhero titles that released in theaters? Yeah, me too. It's been awhile since developers have followed that trend, as most adaptations became quite unsuccessful, despite their being a few gems, such as the Spiderman titles which launched on the Xbox, PlayStation 2, and Gamecube.
But that's besides the point. Superheros are BIG right now, probably bigger than they have been in awhile since most movies have been getting significantly better, and it seems video game developers are hopping on this hype train while there's still time.
Square Enix has announced that they will be working with Marvel for several upcoming titles throughout the next few years, with an Avengers game seemingly being the first project that will be released. The team which will be responsible for the project is the same team that worked on the recent Tomb Raider games, Crystal Dynamics.
Square Enix released a short teaser trailer for the project, which featured a female narrator discussing about how the worlds still needs hero's, with the hashtag #reassemble thrown into the end of the trailer. Based on the teaser trailer, it seems like the version of the Avengers that we will be receiving in this upcoming project, will be the brand new Avengers which Marvel has been actively revealing in their recent comics. This is mostly speculation though, and with a release window of Spring 2018, it sounds like we'll have plenty more time to speculate as details will likely remain slim for the time being.
In the meantime, I highly recommend checking out the trailer as it will definitely get you excited for what it soon to come!

When Filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Isn't The Very Best Financial Debt Alternative in Loudoun County
Learn how Chapter 7 personal bankruptcy works, whether you can pass the eligibility "implies test," just what occurs to your residence and also cars and truck in Chapter 7, which debts will be released by Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and also a lot more. A Chapter 13 insolvency entails paying off a few of your debts to have actually the rest forgiven. It is important to recognize that while personal bankruptcy is a possibility to start over, it most definitely affects your credit scores and also future capability to make use of cash. Personal bankruptcy is a lawful process created to put a stop to collection telephone calls as well as erase financial obligation forever in Occoquan VA
The opportunity of a borrower declare insolvency will inspire some lenders to agree to lower the monthly payment, produce a long-lasting repayment plan, or decrease the rate of interest or the financial obligation. For something, you might not recognize federal or state bankruptcy laws or be aware which laws apply to your instance, specifically regarding just what financial obligations can or can't be released.
We have the ability to help you with credit rating counseling decisions and can help you purge your debt load through personal bankruptcy. Check out alternatives to Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 insolvency before you file. Chapter 11 is usually described as reconstruction insolvency" since it provides companies a chance to stay open while they restructure the business' financial debts and also possessions so it could repay financial institutions.
A bankruptcy lawyer can help if you are battling to pay off delinquent debts and also being bugged by collection firms. Nevertheless, it may be feasible to convert your phase 13 into a phase 7 insolvency, if you are not successful. Your personal bankruptcy attorney could help you avoid repossession, stop automobile repossession, eliminate medical bills, and also discharge bank card debt.
Such debtors need to think about submitting a request under phase 11 of the Insolvency Code Under phase 11, the debtor does not stay clear of insolvency but could seek a change of debts. And, if you do, you might be able to generate an end result that can be far more desirable compared to a Phase 13 bankruptcy. We understand that filing for insolvency can look like a complex procedure when you're bewildered with financial debt-- especially if you're dealing with a wage garnishment, a pending claim, or a home foreclosure.
Filing insolvency can allow you to obtain a fresh monetary begin. Most people that apply for personal bankruptcy choose either a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 instance. Your co-signer still might be legitimately bound to pay all or component of your financing when you proclaim personal bankruptcy. Still, as a result of the lasting results of personal bankruptcy, some specialists think it's most helpful when you have greater than $15,000 in the red.
Your charge card business will make a decision whether you can keep your credit card after your personal bankruptcy. If you haven't done so now, this could be where you understand you have to discover a bankruptcy attorney Legal counsel is not a need for people filing for either Phase 7 or Phase 13 personal bankruptcy, yet you are taking a significant danger if you opt to represent on your own.
The new bankruptcy regulation needs credit score therapy before bankruptcy filings anyhow so it's worth it to highly consider credit counseling as a bankruptcy option. The American Insolvency Institute (ABI) did a research study of PACER stats (public court records) from 2016 and found that 95.5% of the 499,909 Chapter 7 personal bankruptcy instances determined that year were discharged, meaning the person was no more legitimately needed to pay the financial obligation.
To find out more about personal bankruptcy and also other debt-relief options, seek advice from a neighborhood credit therapist or check out the Federal Trade Payment's informative pages. The people as well as company that declare bankruptcy have even more financial obligations than money to cover them as well as don't see that transforming anytime soon.
Throughout this time around, a bankruptcy discharge can Source avoid you from getting new credit lines as well as could even cause issues when you make an application for work. The majority of individuals filing bankruptcy were not specifically rich. Our personal bankruptcy attorneys could aid you to check out non-bankruptcy alternatives to help you locate the debt relief remedy that is best for you in Belfair Crossroads VA

October 22nd was Make a Difference Day. "Since 1992, volunteers and communities have come together on Make A Difference Day with a single purpose: to improve the lives of others." Now before you point out that I am a week late with this post, rest assured I know. However, last Saturday, on the actual day, I was volunteering for the Alliance of Technology and Women at their GreatMinds event.
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." Gandhi
GreatMinds stands for "Girls Reaching for Education About Technology and Moving in Directions for Success" and it is an outreach program to encourage young girls to learn about and pursue careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). This year the event was held at Southwest Airlines' training center and gave young girls an opportunity to tour the facility and hear from some of their female employees. Now I did little more than help set up, hand out T-shirts and goody bags, talk to the girls during the exercises, and help clean up. But I myself was inspired by some of the speakers they had, as well as the girls.
Liji Thomas the Senior Manager of Diversity & Inclusion at Southwest started the morning by telling them that "If you're comfortable, you're not growing. You don't have to be perfect, you just have to be fearless."
An attendee commented, "You don't have to be a man or a woman to be brave, you just have to be YOU."
There was also a female pilot, a female mechanic, several of their dispatchers, and many other women of Southwest Airlines who spoke about their experiences and careers. We got to tour the facility, see their network operations center and some of their training areas. Quite impressive!
The Challenge
"One person can make a difference, and every person should try." JFK
So I challenge you, even though the date has passed you can still make a difference. Volunteering isn't confined to a single day on the calendar. Everyone has the power within them to improve the lives of another and make a difference every single day. You just have to get out and try.

Closer to Closing
My divorce decree came in the mail yesterday! The last thing I need to do is write a letter explaining why I still have an Indiana drivers license. The truth of the matter is that the picture on my Indiana license is good. Do you know how hard it is to take a good drivers license picture? This is the first good one I've ever had. But I think that the letter I write will say something like I wasn't sure that I was going to make South Carolina my permanent residence until I decided to buy this house and I'm going to get a new license as soon as I close on the house...which is mostly true. I'll e-mail the decree and the letter to my mortgage broker today and they'll submit the loan for final approval to the USDA on Monday or Tuesday. This means I will close in the second week of May. The sooner the better! I can't wait!

Big bad diseases on landscape conifers
I suppose something should be said about spruce trees which are declining in great numbers throughout our area. The situation is a complicated mess. A number of fungal agents appear to be involved, and questions remain as to which are causal agents and which are incidental. Until a few days ago, we were happy to lump them all together as 'needlecast' diseases, in hopes that a few judiciously timed sprays each year would keep the problems at bay. Thus it was disconcerting to read the following headline in a recent bulletin from Michigan State University Extension: "Michigan awash with Phomopsis cankers on spruce trees." The bulletin continues to state that "we now know that a group of Phomopsis strains of unknown species are at the center of the current landscape spruce problems . . and is now causing mature tree defoliation, branch death and, in some cases, tree death." Making things more difficult is the fact that symptoms appear much like needlecast, and it is necessary to skin off a lot of thin bark to determine the presence of the canker. The final paragraph begins "it appears we are in a cloud of Phomopsis spores, the likes of which we have never seen before." Trying to treat spruces with fungicides is becoming a shot in the dark.

Critical Section
A quick blogging pass before trick or treating... (and I must say, it is kind of weird that the time hasn't changed yet, usually it gets dark around 6:00 and that when we go out, but tonight it is going to be around 7:00, huh.)
The Economist notes Falling Fertility. "As industrialisation swept through what is now the developed world, fertility fell sharply, first in France, then in Britain, then throughout Europe and America. When people got richer, families got smaller; and as families got smaller, people got richer." The problem is that richer isn't better from a genetic standpoint. As strange conundrum...
Philip Greenspun comments: Health Insurance is a basic human right. This is such a weird concept to me. Clearly if we provide health benefits to people who cannot otherwise afford them, then we are talking about socialism; those who have pay for those who have not. It is a sort of forced altruism, and this never works. The solution has to be for society to reduce the cost of healthcare to the point where everyone - or at least almost everyone - can afford it. This cannot be done by government intervention, it can only be done by letting the markets work. BTW this isn't a moral issue, it is an economic issue.
So, you want to be a VC, eh? Prepare yourself for a wild ride, as this infographic from Fortune shows... I will say that despite the tough times and uncertain future, the VC industry is not going to die; those who think so are unfamiliar with the tenacity and appetite for risk found in that group :)
The Motorola Druid is out, and Engadget has a review. The verdict: really nice. Of course they compare it to an iPhone, and in some ways it is lacking in comparison, but it is a legitimate competitor. Considering that it is on Verizon, the largest cell carrier, and that Verizon customers can't buy iPhones, I'm sure it will be successful. Count me among those who didn't think the Android platform was going to matter, and count me among those who were wrong.
So it is the first weekend of November. Shopping Season! Yep I have officially seen Christmas decorations and heard Christmas music, and the retail march is on... I wonder how this year will stack up for retailers? Probably a bit better than last year, but I don't think we'll be "back to normal". Too many people are out of work, and too many others are worried about their future.
Wow, the world's biggest ocean liner is also the ugliest. "The Oasis of the Sea is five times larger than the Titanic, the $1.5 billion ship has seven neighborhoods, an ice rink, a small golf course and a 750-seat outdoor amphitheater. It has 2,700 cabins and can accommodate 6,300 passengers and 2,100 crew members." Looks like a floating appartment building to me, with all the charm that implies... [ via the horse's mouth ]

Cosmic rings are a dazzling gift provided by the laws of physics.
Just as the lenses in a pair of glasses can refract (bend) light to allow us to see better, large celestial objects can do the same. It's like having a telescope built by nature. It occurs when light from distant background stars, galaxies, quasars or supernovas are distorted into rings or even duplicate images by interacting with the curvature of space-time. This is just another example why science is so fricken awesome!
Einstein acknowledged gravitational lensing in his general theory of relativity, in which he proposed that because space-time is curved by gravity, so too should light if it passes near a massive object. The first test of his claim came during the solar eclipse of 1919. Since the sun is the most massive object in our solar system it seemed a worthy place to find distortions due to gravity. Arthur Eddington photographed the sun while being eclipsed by the moon. The moon acted as a filter, blocking most of the sun's light allowing him to view images of the universe behind the sun.
Astonishingly, he saw light shining in the background that should have been obscured by our star, instead the light was being lensed by the gravity of the sun. These stars weren't just in the background; they were actually behind the sun. It was the proof needed to get Einstein the Nobel Prize for physics in 1921. If it weren't for the reality of space-time being malleable, we wouldn't see the beauty of gravitational lensing.
The lensing effect acts as a magnifying glass allowing a viewer to see objects that lie behind a larger foreground structure. Let's use a distant galaxy as an example. The light from that star is traveling through space in all directions. While on its journey if it happens to pass near a massive object, such as a foreground galaxy or group of galaxies, the light will follow the gravitational curve of the massive object(s). This will distort the light from distant objects.
In the words of Neil deGrasse Tyson, "some lenses are like fun house mirrors. They can take the background galaxy and flip it left, right, and upside down, distort it and make the image appear multiple times" (Star Talk Radio). If the background object is directly behind the massive galaxy we will see the background object in different locations with the same magnitude. The background image may appear as a halo, or a ring around a bright object; this is called an Einstein Ring. (Top photo).
If the background light is slightly askew, meaning that the background object's center doesn't match up with the center of the foreground object, it will cause the light to smeared out in the form of an arc, or we can see a duplicate image, one with more magnitude than the other(s). This is because it takes some of the light a longer amount of time to travel from it's original source to the viewer. As the light bends its way around the far side of the foreground object it essentially is taking the long route and reaches us later. Meanwhile, the light traveled farther from the massive object took the fast lane, this light will appear with more magnitude because of the off-center natures of the lens.
Watch the short clip to see how different types of foreground objects will produce different lensing outcomes. Galaxies produce different types of images than say, a black hole would.
Gravitational lensing comes in three types strong lensing, weak lensing, and microlensing.Strong lensing is what we have described until now. These are categorized by obvious light distortions. This occurs most often when massive objects such as galaxy clusters are used as the lens. In weak lensing shear (the stretching of light) and convergence (the light's magnitude) are still present, but not in a drastic way. Scientists can use lensing to measure dark matter in large-scale structures within the depths of our universe. With gravitational microlensing there is no smearing of light or multiple images seen; rather the objects's magnitude will change over time, it may appear brighter than stars relatively close, despite the object being great distances away.
Have you ever stared through the bottom of a wine glass? Not because you've had too much to drink, but to watch the light twirl around the base. This is actually a great gravitational lensing simulation that you can do at home. Watch the video to see how you can create the illusion.

Karmic Lessons and Karmic Debt Numbers
Numerology considers two kinds of numbers to be "karmic." The numbers 13, 14, 16 and 19, no matter where they are found in the chart, are called "Karmic Debt numbers," and refer to karmic baggage we bring into this world from a previous lifetime.
The other kind of karmic numbers can be any of the single-digit numbers, if they are missing in your name. I will expand on that in a future blog, but this time I will focus on the four Karmic Debt numbers.
Before describing the effect that Karmic Debt numbers have on your life, let me point out that where they are found in your Numerology chart is just as important as their effects. If you have a Karmic Debt Life Path number, for example, the impact will be felt repeatedly throughout the life cycle, but not continuously. Every once in awhile, you will be hit by the negative influence of this Karmic Debt number, which, in turn, gives you the opportunity to respond and hopefully overcome its effect and learn from it.
If your Expression number is a Karmic Debt number, you will feel its effect on a more continuous, but less dramatic, basis, affecting mostly your professional/productive life, i.e. your career.
If your Heart's Desire number is a Karmic Debt number, you will have a tendency to make bad choices and decisions in your lifestyle, including relationships, in accordance to the qualities of that particular Karmic Debt number.
If your Personality number is a Karmic Debt number, its influence will be mostly felt in social interaction. This can be anything from simply making bad impressions to clumsy remarks, bad taste in clothing, etc. Health can also be affected.
Found as a Maturity number, the Karmic Debt is felt particularly strong during your late teens and early twenties, as well as your late forties and early fifties (the mid-life crisis).
In all other areas of the personality part of the chart, including the Birth Day number, the affect is considerably less. However, certain cycles in the forecasting part of your chart can be influenced strongly if a Karmic Debt number is found there. For example, found as an Essence cycle, a Karmic Debt number can be particularly difficult. Personal Years, of course, can't have Karmic numbers, as they are always single digits.The long-term cycles -- Period and Pinnacle cycles -- also are vulnerable to Karmic Debt numbers.
As far as the kind of influence, each of the four Karmic Debt numbers has very different properties, but they are always associated with the single-digit number they represent. The 13 is a 4 (since 1 + 3 = 4), and has to do with effort. The 14 is a 5 and has to do with freedom. The 16 is a 7 and has to do with spiritual growth, and the 19, being a 1, has to do with independence.
In a nutshell:the 13 Karmic Debt produces a lot of frustration and, as a result, does not seem to be rewarded in proportion to the effort. Think of it as a consequence of a previous lifetime dominated by laziness, taking advantage of others, and similar bad choices. The most important advice to those with a 13 Karmic Debt is: don't take shortcuts, don't do anything halfway, be prepared to work hard for whatever you want and be patient.
The 14 Karmic Debt is the result of having abused your own -- and other people's -- freedom, in a previous lifetime. This time around, you pay for it with a life full of chaos, unexpected twists and turns, few things going as planned and, in a worst case scenario, your own freedom is made a slave to an addiction of some kind; drugs, alcohol, overeating, sex, etc.
The 16 Karmic Debt is generally the most strongly felt. It is also the one with the greatest promise, as it has to do with repeated destruction and rebirth. It is called the Fallen Tower, and those afflicted with its effect tend to make choices and decisions that seem specifically designed to break down what you have previously built -- a self-destructive career choice, for example. Or an act of stupidity that ruins an otherwise wonderful relationship. Its promise, however, is that rebirth and rebuilding tend to follow those self-destructive acts. Especially in the form of spiritual growth and the potential of gaining the kind of wisdom that brings a certain peace of mind later in life.
Finally, the 19 Karmic Debt has to do with independence and personal power, learned the hard way. You will find yourself without much needed support. You will be forced to stand on your own feet, to build strength and determination, and to gain authority and respect. There are often long periods of feeling alone and abandoned, but much of this can be avoided by realizing that the strength you need is there, you just need to reach for it.
If you have a Karmic Debt number in one or more places in your chart, you are not alone. Almost everyone has at least one Karmic Debt in a prominent location. I have a 16 Life Path number and a 16 Personality, and yes, I have definitely been hit by its negative impact more than once in my life. The good news is that when you are aware of your karmic numbers and understand their meaning, you are a warned man or woman, and therefore better protected than those who have not had the opportunity to be prepared.

Amorphous Silicon Dioxide in Chemical Compounds
As a component in polymer compounding, Elkem's Sidistar vastly improves the dispersion of ingredients in the mixing process, reduces internal friction and allows for a higher extrusion speed. With industries moving to non-halogenated flame retardant systems, Sidistar is integral for meeting stricter flame retardant standards without the use of halogen compounds.
Based on its spherical "ball bearing" shape, Sidistar offers the performance of a viscosity modifier without detracting from the finished compound's physical properties. The positive impact Sidistar amorphous silica has on compounds leads to an overall well-balanced final product, and it's valued across many industries because of its unrivaled performance as a processing aid, flame retardant and performance additive.
Elkem Sidistar Silicon Dioxide
We supply several variations of Elkem's silicon dioxide additives, including the Sidistar® R 300, 320 and Sidistar T120U. Read below for more information or contact a chemicals expert today!
Sidistar® R 300 & 320
The Sidistar R series was specifically designed by Elkem for use in rubber compounds and can be applied to create flame retardant compounds for cables and anti-vibration parts such as hoses and roofing membranes.
Sidistar T120U (Undensified)
SIDISTAR T120U is a specially designed light-coloured process modifier based on a spherically-shaped amorphous silicon dioxide. The nature of the product allows excellent dispersion down to the primary particles in the polymer matrix. This leads to improved dispersion of all compound ingredients and a better flow, allowing higher extrusion / injection speeds. The product is supplied in an undensified form.
H.M. Royal: Your Silicon Dioxide Suppliers
For a full list of the properties and attributes of the amorphous silicon dioxide we carry, contact us to request an MSDS or technical data sheet.
You can also call to speak with a raw chemicals expert in your area to determine specifications and receive recommendations on the compounding ingredients you need.

Issues of Human Resource Management in Schools and the Relevance of Research.
Duckworth, Kenneth
Consideration of the research agenda of the Center for Educational Policy and Management (CEPM) in Eugene (Oregon) is aided by placing it in the context of current issues in educational policy and management, and by identifying policy and management decisions that can benefit from CEPM's research agenda. Three decision-making domains are the foci of disagreement in education. The domains include the structure of student work, aiming at the improvement of learning; the structure of teacher work, including instructional practices and the work environment; and administrator work structure, including policy-setting and working conditions. At the same time there are three types of issues: technical issues, meaning instrumental or "how-to" problems; cooperative issues, involving human interaction aspects of educational activities; and assumptive or semantic issues, concerning educational values and cultural constructs and ideology. The three decision domains--student, teacher, and administrator work structures--each have different technical, cooperative, and assumptive issues. For each type of issue within each domain, different research has been done, by CEPM and others, and different research needs exist. (RW)

My Crystal Ball Says .....
1.) By the end of 2008 I'll have a new job. I don't know where (maybe a different position in the same company), but change is most certainly in the air.
2.) The Phillies will be in the World Series. I'm not picking up a win or loss vibe just yet, but I think they're gonna take us for a great ride this year.
3.) Baby boom will continue. I'm gonna go on a limb and say that little Fuzz and Shue will both have buns in the oven before end of 2008.
4.) The Foxwoods casino planned for the corner of Delaware & Reed will be relocated somewhere else in the city. (I hope that's not just wishful thinking!)
5.) As of today, the person who will get elected President of the USA is not a front-runner for either political party. (So it won't be Hillary, Barack, Mitt, Huckabee, or Edwards) Why in the world would anyone want that job anyway??? Cuckoo!!!
6.) Rachel Ray will continue to invent annoying childish words such as sammies and EVOO. The network that airs her talk show will realize she's horrible and cancel her talk show. From my fingertips to God's ears ..... please!!!!!!!!
7.) Paris Hilton will get pregnant and engaged. Jury's still out on whether there will be an associated sex tape.
8.) One of my Dad's books will get picked up by a publisher. He's written 3 so far, and #4 is in progress.
Next up ...... 2007 year in review, and maybe some things I'm looking forward to in 2008.

CBS 5 CrimeWatch (BCN) SAN FRANCISCO – A 20-year-old Daly City man who spent the last 19 months in county jail on murder charges was set free Tuesday after a San Francisco jury found him not guilty, Deputy Public Defender Mark Jacobs said Wednesday. Read the rest of this story. Read the press release.
