Something about dancing with polka dots that I love. Always amazed at how you squeeze sketching in with your errands. As always, love the addition of color to your pages.

Thank you, CrimsonLeaves, you are so nice to me. Errands bearable only if allowing at list few minutes for drawing. Here was a moment I was waiting for my daughter's nails to be done, so sketched, even smell of nail polish remover suffocated me badly. :)

As a young man, I used to believe that it didn't really matter if I was happy or not. The world wouldn't stop, the economy wouldn't crash, and the sea wouldn't swallow the land if I was miserable. All that mattered was that I did my part – I did my work, I made sure my wife was alright, I paid the rent on time, and the people who relied on me could keep on relying on me. Happiness was something that came in little doses as you put in your time on earth. A little sex here, a good book there, an exciting movie, or a fun game… but those would come and go.
I was definitely not unique in that perspective. I know so many men who are just putting in time, trying to be reliable, hardworking, and really just survive life until you are ready to retire. It is an undercurrent of Masculinity in the West: we work hard and bust our asses to make sure our wives are happy, our bosses are happy, and our kids are happy – because that is our job. But it doesn't compute to us that we ought to be happy, too, which is bizarre. After all, if Happiness is important enough that you have to wear yourself out enough to make sure other people have it, then shouldn't it be something we seek for ourselves? Or put another way, if Happiness isn't important, then why do we make ourselves so unhappy trying to give it to others?
This isn't something that our culture doesn't want you to think too hard about! Because if the world wasn't full of men who take care of everyone's happiness but their own, we'd be far less wealthy, and productive on a whole. The man we trick into working himself down to the bone is the man who makes the rest of us rich, safe, and prosperous.
This is why "we" don't teach philosophy in schools as well. The last thing "we" want is thousands of young men asking: "What can I do to ensure that I live the best life I can?" or "Is owning a house, car, or having a degree really going to make me happier, or would I be better off focusing on the little things that actually bring me joy?"
And note that I say "we" here. No one group of people is to blame. There is no almighty Patriarchy or all-powerful cabal of Illuminati responsible for this basic deception. This is just the natural attitude we develop by accepting the institutions of our culture without thinking – institutions that grew up to ensure our survival and welfare in harder times and out of necessary choices that we then carried on until we forgot why we were doing it.
But the more you do think, and the more you do explore, the more you realize that your Happiness does matter.
You have a very limited time on this Earth, and you don't even know how long that time will be. That makes every second a precious and limited commodity. You can spend those seconds being afraid, angry, sad, miserable, frustrated, or depressed, or you can spend them calm, joyous, inspired, engaged, excited, or pleased. In other words, the time you spend on being unhappy is time that you have not got the most out of. It is wasted time that could have been spent either having a peak experience or doing the hard work it takes to make those peak experiences happen.
And that is your choice to make! Because Happiness is not a fleeting moment of relief from a sea of boredom like I thought it was as a young man. Happiness is something you can build through hard work, mental discipline, and good choices. Our culture has always understood what it takes to be happy: we've known it since Aristotle. We've even developed a study of happiness and how to achieve it: positive psychology. We just don't teach it except to the people who actually decide to lean it for themselves.
Today I am going to give you the basics from my own study:
Take care of your health and body: This practically doesn't need to be said, but if you drink enough water, get eight hours of sleep a night, eat well, avoid too much sugar and caffeine, etc., it is much easier to be happy. When you are sick, weak, or tired, it is hard to make good choices or engage with the world.
Control your information intake: In the news, if it bleeds, it leads. In the blogosphere rants and grievances get hits, and publishing houses prefer to put out trash that sells over literature that inspires. Because of that, if you pay attention to what people have to say, you are going to get a non-stop stream of negativity, violence, anger, and panic. It paints a picture of the world that is far, far darker than reality, and you can't help but be affected by it. So limit your exposure, and try to take in things that inspire you in balance with the "news" and politics.
Here's a challenge: go for a week without any television. Cut back on your news intake to only stories relevant to your business. Play music rather than listen to the radio. See how you feel at the end of that week.
Still your mind: When you are thinking, you are not paying attention to what is happening right here and now. You are either too busy worrying about the future, or too busy analyzing the past to enjoy Here and Now. When you shut down unnecessary mental noise and just focus on taking in what is around you, you will find that your natural state is to be relaxed, calm, and joyous. This doesn't mean you should be dumb or thoughtless, just to be aware that often thinking doesn't always serve you, especially if you are going in circles.
Learning to still your mind can be tricky. Ultimately, Yoga and meditation are the best tools for that, but I also find that there is a simple focus trick that can be exceedingly helpful. When you are on a break from your daily routine, pick an object and study it – try and remember its lines, how the light hits it, it's textures as if you were going to draw it from memory later. In fact, you might want to try drawing some of these things from memory later. That moment of focus can shut unnecessary thoughts down.
Keep growing: You are a work in progress. You never stop changing and learning throughout your life. You can choose whether that change happens by accident or on purpose. You can keep making yourself a better man by learning new skills, getting better at your job, picking up new exciting hobbies, and reading books that expand your mind.
You can also make sure your growth is positive by running towards challenges. When you push yourself to do the best job possible, or tackle hard jobs that push the limits of your skills you enter into a mental state called flow. When you are in flow, you learn faster and feel curiosity and joy. You always come out of a flow state better at a skill than when you come in.
If you want to see this for yourself, find a good way to measure your work performance, and set out deliberately to improve your score every week for a month. Try exceeding quotas, writing faster, coming up with better thoughts, reading your team as effectively as you can. Find a book on one thing you want to improve, read it, and start the exercises in it. Notice that when you ease back you will still perform better, and you will also like your job more.
Practice gratitude: Being grateful has a cleansing effect on the mind. It gets rid of negative thoughts and clears stress hormones from your system. Saying "thank you" when you really mean it feels incredibly good. I make it a point to think of a few things every day that make me grateful and say "thank you" for them. I don't even say it to anyone or anything in particular.
Try it for yourself – write down five good things in your life, think about them for a few minutes then say "thank you" out loud. It is an instant high.
Spend more time with your loved ones: Whether it is taking your wife out for a date, going on a Saturday afternoon picnic, throwing a dinner party, or having a game night, time spent with your friends and family (assuming you are not in a toxic relationship) is the best use of your time. It builds stronger connections, builds an atmosphere of care and support, and makes sure you are spending that time doing things that you want to do.
Try scheduling a game night or barbecue with your friends and family. Get together for the sole purpose of enjoying each other's company for no special occasion at all and see how that makes you feel.
Live within your means: One of the things that has the greatest impact on keeping you from being happy is lack of resources. There is a certain point at which stresses over money and debt can overwhelm a person and make them feel unhappy. Money can't buy happiness, but lack of it can create a lot of misery. Developing a good budget that aggressively tackles debt and gets rid of useless expenses can ease your mind, especially if you stick with it.
Have goals: A clear set of well-articulated goals can make life easier. They give you a guideline for making decisions. They also give you a sense of direction and way to tell if you are accomplishing something in life. If you have clear goals, move towards them, and make your decisions around meeting them, you stop wasting huge amounts of energy on doubt, rumination, over-thinking, and worry.
Goals are also only useful if written down. Things that are "in your head" are rarely clearly articulated, and they take up mental energy that makes concentration harder. Write every goal down, clearly, along with what success will look like, and what your next three steps to get there are going to look like. Keep a journal that helps you track progress towards your goals. It will make a huge difference.
Focus on what you can control: People get bogged down worrying about things that are beyond their control. The problem about something beyond your control is no matter how much you think or worry about it, you can't change it. So you are burning calories and distracting yourself from the here and now for no good reason. When a problem comes up, look for what you can do, make a plan, and then execute. Stop to analyze your results, and repeat until you don't have anything left that you can do. Anything else is wasting time and energy.
Ultimately your Happiness matters and it is a choice. It matters because it is a choice. It is something you can create, not something that comes in small flashes. And so you can choose whether to spend your few precious minutes on Earth being happy or being unhappy, and the latter is simply a waste.
Doing what it takes to be happy is work, but it doesn't take much time. In fact for most people, it involves spending a lot less time on wasteful things like media, struggling with money, worrying, trying to solve unsolvable problems, and sitting in front of the television.

BlackBerry devices 'more secure than ever'
Canadian smartphone manufacturer BlackBerry has insisted its handsets are "as secure as ever".
The company made the claims in response to news that Dutch police had been able to read encrypted messages sent using its devices.
However, the pieces of hardware at the centre of the allegations were, according to BlackBerry, modified by third parties.
The company has therefore placed the blame on insecure third-party apps and lacklustre security precautions.
Some third-parties have been known to sell modified handsets known as PGP Blackberrys, which claim to offer an additional layer of encryption to communications.
The accusations against BlackBerry will have been seen as a slight blemish on its reputation for strong data security, which has long been one of its main selling points, particularly in the face of falling hardware sales.
While hopes remain high for BlackBerry's Android-based Priv smartphone, data security remains a large part of the company's appeal, with US president Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel both often pictured with their respective handsets.
And BlackBerry is confident that questions surrounding the security of encrypted data on its devices are unwarranted.
The company said in a recent blog post: "If such an information recovery did happen, access to this information from a Blackberry device could be due to factors unrelated to how the Blackberry device was designed.
"There are no backdoors in any Blackberry devices."
It added that BlackBerry does not store or share device passwords with anyone, including the authorities.
It added: "Provided that users follow recommended practices, Blackberry devices remain as secure and private as they have always been."

Course Description
Over one quarter of buildings in the UK are traditionally built and are often mistakenly treated as modern buildings resulting in unintended consequences – they require 'responsible retrofit'.
The Environment Study Centre has teamed up with the CITB's National Construction College and specialist building consultancy Edwards Hart to develop this unique course that delivers a qualification in energy efficiency retrofit. It is also the only course of its kind that is delivered all over the UK – England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Upon successful completion participants will be awarded the SQA Level 3 Award for Energy Efficiency for Older & Traditional Buildings (QCF). This is a government approved qualification and has been developed to suit contractors and consultants, as well as clients.
The three SQA Level 3 Award units that make up the Level 3 Award, and are listed below:
- SQA code H6MK 69 Older and Traditional Buildings: Age, Nature and Characteristics
- SQA unit code H6MM 69 Older and Traditional Buildings: Assessing Options for the Introduction of Energy Efficiency Measures
- SQA code H6MN 69 Older and Traditional Buildings: Making Recommendations and Giving Advice on the Introduction of Energy Efficiency Measures.
In addition, supplementary information to support learners understanding of the broader issues affecting the energy efficiency and retrofit of pre-1919 traditional buildings is provided in the form of three course handbooks covering the subject areas below:
- Understanding the chronology, building styles, age and characteristics of traditional (pre-1919) buildings and understanding how the thermal performance and energy and efficiency of traditional (pre-1919) buildings are assessed
- Understanding the impact of the Installation of retrofit of energy efficiency measures to traditional (pre-1919) buildings and installation of energy efficiency measures in relationship to craft occupations
- Understanding the range of available energy efficiency systems and measures available
Once payment has been received participants will be sent the three course manuals in electronic format. This will be supplemented by further training material at the training session.

Jessica + Chris/ e-session
I had so much fun hanging out with Jessica & Chris in Central Park for their e-session last week. I knew I wanted to get a shot on the band shell but when we got there (I wish I had a 'before' shot!) there were tons of crates and barricades jammed up all the way to the front of it making it seem impossible to do.... but since I'll do just about anything for art... I squished in between all the stuff and whipped out my trusty fish eye and was able to get this first shot- cool! We also trekked up to the NY Metropolitan Club where they got engaged (!) and we took the last two shots, great idea Chris! Can't wait for their fall wedding ~ see you guys in November :)

My Most Human Moments
The Essence of Milk
My body has shifted in its function and purpose. My body now sustains a little person's life while creating a sense of calm and safety. Mother's milk is often reffered to as 'liquid gold'. This nectar that my body (all of a sudden after many years of life) produces protects this babe with vital immune antibodies and nutritional building blocks. Its the perfect food and my body is smart enough to adapt my milk as his tender digestive system develops. The oxytocin that flows from my body into him through my milk bonds us deeply as he gazes up at me with the purest heart and big blue eyes. These moments I will forever cherish.
I do not produce a wild overabundance of milk like some women I know and yet when I began nursing I felt called to share further than my own child. I tried to watch a video of Beyonce singing at a UN function and was unable because my eyes swelled with tears and I desired to go to Africa and feed those starving children from my own breast. The urge was overwhelming. I took that desire and began looking into sharing milk through the hospital systems or milk banks. I dislike that parents have to pay for the milk and that the milk would be pasteurized. The World Health Organization has long upheld that mother's milk is the utmost best for a baby, secondly milk from a donor mother and lastly is formula.
As serendipity would have it there was a lovely woman who I have long had a friend crush on but our paths only remotely crossed. I learned that she and her husband had adopted a son who happened to be a week older than my own. I reached out to her in joy and to offer my friendship, and share learned lessons while fumbling through new mom'dom. There really should be a manual. I offered myself to text round the clock and be an ally in the journey that is the all encompassing first 6 weeks of having a newborn. She gently opened to my offer and we developed a beautiful connection and learned that many of our styles are similar, particularly our committment to health, wellness and our sense of humor.
When I learned of the challenges she was facing giving her son formula and getting the right balance I offered her my own breast milk. At first she turned down my offer. Could it be that adding a new ingredient to the mix was overwhelming, or this idea some have that sharing milk 'is weird' and 'gross', or was it that such an offering seemed complicated and too generous. Whatever it was, I didn't need to know. I offered again weeks later as our relationship deepened and I was so happy that yes was the answer.
This brought me great joy. I began pumping with this little boy in mind and heart. What does it mean that I am sharing this precious noursihment with this person. The humilty it gives me to know that I am able to assist this human's immune system and hence health for his entire life it profound. I am now deeply connected to this person and his family and love has grown.
All mammals (besides human) share their milk with ease. If one mother doesnt have enough milk or she is ill, another female offers her breast. This is normal, the way mammals are designed. The internet is flooded with 'cute' images of interspecies milk sharing, pigs nursing on a tiger but our culture is behind in accepting the sweetness of humans sharing milk.
Sharing milk is of my most human moments. The essence of hu-man-ness. It's really not exceptional or extraordinary in any way. In fact, it is normal… It is the human thing to do. How could I not help a precious being with such a fundamental need.
Off to go pump
*written in honor of 'world milksharing week'.

Has anyone ever heard of flying snakes. I saw a documentary on South Africa many years ago that included a segment about a flying snake. They flatten out and glide like flying squirrels. But I have never heard of them since that one program.
yes I heard of them but I thought they were a lizard?

Celebrating her graduation from a psychology program at the University System of Maryland at Hagerstown on Tuesday, Danielle Donovan said she liked the university's "small-town feel" and affordability.
Donovan, 23, a Williamsport High and Hagerstown Community College graduate, said she considered attending Shepherd College, but found the West Virginia school too expensive and its classes too sporadic.
Studying psychology through the Frostburg State University program offered at the downtown Hagerstown USMH campus allowed her to live at home and work two part-time jobs, including one at Brook Lane Health Services that gave her practical experience, Donovan said.
Donovan was one of 149 students set to graduate from USMH, USMH spokeswoman Jamie Bushong said.
While the students were to be called up to receive a gift and recognition, Tuesday's celebration in a large white tent in the campus courtyard was not the actual graduation ceremony, Bushong said.
Students could attend the graduation ceremonies held at the home university that provided their study program.

Michael F. Flaherty lost his bid yesterday to win back a seat on the Boston City Council, falling short in his political comeback just two years after appearing as a finalist on the mayoral stage.
Flaherty narrowly missed the fourth at-large seat on the City Council, finishing fewer than 1,000 votes behind incumbent Stephen J. Murphy, according to unofficial results from the city.
"It just wasn't in the cards today,'' Flaherty said last night. "We worked hard, and there were a lot of issues we raised in this race.''
The poor showing by the former City Council president came partially at the hands of Ayanna Pressley. Once deemed vulnerable, Pressley rocketed to the top of the ticket yesterday after receiving the fewest number of votes among the winners two years ago.
Supporters and other elected officials, including Councilor John R. Connolly, rallied behind Pressley, reminding voters that she was the only woman running for reelection and was the first woman of color to serve on the council.
But Pressley also commands extraordinary talent on the stump, winning over crowds with a mix of policy prowess, hard-luck stories of growing up poor in Chicago, and a dose of humor.
"This is more than a little overwhelming,'' Pressley said last night at her victory party, attended by Governor Deval Patrick. "It's stunning. It's humbling.''
In a surprising finish, all four at-large incumbents - Pressley, Murphy, Connolly, and Felix G. Arroyo - held on to their seats. While at-large elections can be unpredictable, yesterday's results underscored the power of incumbency.
Flaherty captured 25,790 votes, a far cry from the 46,768 people who voted for him in 2009 when he challenged Mayor Thomas M. Menino. Flaherty gave Menino his strongest challenge to date, but the mayor still won by 15 percentage points.
Flaherty's defeat represented a victory for Menino's political operation, which had mobilized a citywide effort to help keep Flaherty from returning to the council.
But Menino's field organization also suffered a sharp rebuke in Dorchester yesterday. The mayor's candidate, John K. O'Toole, lost the open seat representing District 3 to Frank Baker.
Boston's City Council has nine local district seats and four at-large spots that represent the entire city. At-large elections can be volatile because voters can select up to four candidates. Ballot combinations can vary widely, and some enthusiastic supporters will vote for only one person, giving their candidate a bullet vote.
In District 2, Councilor Bill Linehan of South Boston beat back a strong challenge from Suzanne Lee of Chinatown. Councilor Tito Jackson easily kept his seat representing District 7, after besting Sheneal Parker. In District 4 in Mattapan and Dorchester, Councilor Charles C. Yancey won his 15th term, topping his frequent opponent, J.R. Rucker.
In the at-large race, Pressley surged to the top with 37,506 votes. After speculation spread this summer that she was vulnerable, Pressley formed an alliance with Connolly to share resources. They appeared at 25 joint campaign events, sent out joint mailings, and knocked on doors together.
Last night, Pressley talked about her field organization with 500 volunteers, her partnership with Connolly, and cooperation with other elected officials.
"I'm glad that all of my colleagues will be returning,'' Pressley said.
Arroyo captured second place with 35,465 votes; Connolly, who finished first in the election two years ago, dropped to third yesterday with 32,803 votes; Murphy, the City Council president, grabbed the last seat with 26,712 votes.
"The people of Boston returned us all,'' Murphy said last night. "I am grateful.''
Challengers Will Dorcena and Sean H. Ryan both lost with fewer than 10,000 votes.
A product of a powerful political family in South Boston, Flaherty served as a prosecutor for the Suffolk district attorney's office and waged unsuccessful runs for office. He ultimately won at-large spot on the City Council in 1999 at the age of 30 and held the seat for a decade.
The last time he ran for City Council, he won 25,863 votes in 2007, more than anyone else in the city. But this year, Flaherty ran as a challenger, not an incumbent.
At the polls in Charlestown yesterday afternoon, voter Joanne Brew said she opted to vote for just three at-large candidates: Arroyo, Connolly, and Pressley.
"They reflect the character of the city,'' said Brew, a retiree, adding that she wanted a council that mirrored the demographics of the city. "Boston has a thriving immigrant population.''Martine Powers of the Globe Staff and Globe correspondents Patrick R. Rosso and Sara Brown contributed to this report.

So British pop star Jessie J posted a topless picture on Instagram, because that is the new normal, and then deleted because the only thing better than posting a topless picture, is posting one, deleting it and claiming either your account was hacked or it was an accident. You get the publicity but not the shaming. Now, you might be asking, "who the fuck is Jessie J?" We were asking ourselves the same question. But then we were overtaken by an even more gripping question, and that is "are her nipples silver or are those pasties?"

An Overview of Yeast Infection Causes
Most women have experienced a yeast infection at one time or another. While these conditions are generally not serious, the uncomfortable symptoms like itching, burning and odor lead women to seek treatments that are quick and effective.
The good news is that there are plenty of these to choose from at home, at the pharmacy and at your doctor's office. But what are the yeast infection causes and how can we prevent them?
What is Yeast Infection Causes?
Before discussing yeast infection causes, it is helpful to understand what a healthy body looks like. Normally, the vaginal area consists of a number of good yeast cells that are kept under control by good bacteria called Lactobacillus acidophilus.
When this delicate balance gets disrupted, another type of yeast called Candida albican takes over and the result is a yeast infection. The question then becomes what are the yeast infection causes that create this environment that allows the Candida yeast to thrive?
There are a number of possibilities when it comes to yeast infection causes. One is antibiotics that are taken for other types of infection. Since the goal of antibiotics is to kill bacteria, they can take out the good as well as the bad.
READ ALSO: Male yeast infection: How can I tell if I have one?
Less Lactobacillus acidophilus in your system can result in a potential yeast infection. This is why it is a good idea to eat yogurt daily while on antibiotics. Yogurt contains the acidophilus, allowing your body to replenish its supply.
Other potential yeast infection causes can include hormonal changes that take place during pregnancy or menopause. Health issues like diabetes or those that compromise the immune system like HIV infection.
These might be other times to take special measures to prevent your yeast infections by eating a daily dose of yogurt and keeping your vaginal area clean and dry at all times. By understanding yeast infection causes, you can be on the road to prevention of this uncomfortable condition.
One of the best ways to prevent many of the yeast infection causes is by keeping the vaginal area dry. This means that you should wear cotton underwear as opposed to synthetic fabrics, and change out of wet swimming suits and sweaty workout clothes as soon as possible.
Sleeping in boxers at night can also be a good way to keep the area dry and allow air to circulate, which will help to prevent yeast infections as well. By learning all you can about yeast infection causes; you can go far in preventing this uncomfortable and often annoying condition.

FAIRHAVEN — Lifeguard candidates were warned there will be "zero tolerance" if they are caught using iPhones or gathering around one lifeguard station at the town beach on West Island.
The six prospective lifeguards were interviewed for five positions by the Board of Public Works on April 25.
Head lifeguard Heather Hollins was given another chance, but in a move to make some changes, last summer's assistant lifeguard was not rehired.
Explaining why he voted to make Ms. Hollins head lifeguard again, BPW member G. Steven Riley said, "She took ownership in front of this board. She should be given a chance to redeem herself."
But during the interview, he stressed, "We're not going to tolerate what happened last year."
BPW member Daniel Freitas warned her there will be zero tolerance if any of the lax behavior that occurred last year is repeated.
"No phones, nothing," he said. "You're there as a lifeguard and that's it."
Gate attendant candidates were also grilled about their maturity level and willingness to behave professionally. DPW member Kathleen Sturtevant said gate attendants were listening to loud music with their feet sticking out of car windows.
There were some votes for making Gregory Davis, a teacher, head lifeguard, but because he did not attend Monday's meeting and had also applied to be a gate attendant, a majority voted to give Ms. Hollins another chance. BPW members said they weren't sure if Mr. Davis wanted the responsibility; they made him assistant lifeguard instead.
When Ms. Hollins was interviewed, she was reminded of past incidents and told, this year, lifeguards must be "working, not fooling around."
She responded, "It should have been my responsibility. I should have said something."
She added, "It's a serious job. I'm in charge of people's lives. Last year, we left (when the beach officially closed) and a half-hour later, there was a wind surfing incident. Thank God someone else was there who had been a lifeguard before."
BPW Chairman Geoffrey A. Haworth reiterated the message, "You're there to save people's lives. This board heard issue after issue last year. This board was ready to dismiss the whole lifeguard staff."
Mr. Haworth said any infractions this summer will lead to dismissal. "We need people down there that take the job seriously."
BPW member Robert Hobson. He told Ms. Hollins there must be "no more phones and head phones. We weren't real happy with what happened last year."
When last year's assistant lifeguard, Victoria Wood, was asked how the behavior was allowed to happen, she said it was a carryover from previous years. "The nonchalant attitude carried over from one year to the next," she said.
Other issues were brought up with gate attendant candidates, such as having allowed people they know to park in the lot for free. Ms. Sturtevant warned that "people are planted," referring to spot checks.
Mr. Riley warned a gate attendant candidate who worked previously for the Buttonwood Park Zoo not to let friends in for free. He said, "That's revenue to the town and it helps us pay your wages."
The candidate, who said iPhones were not allowed at the zoo, got the job.
The lifeguards were told they may get walkie-talkies so they can communicate with each other better in emergencies. And they were told to spread out with one at each of three lifeguard stations at different ends of the beach.

Lucien Favre has been disrespectful to Borussia Monchengladbach by announcing his resignation on Sunday night, according to Felix Magath.
The Swiss coach released a statement saying that he had tendered his resignation since he no longer felt he was the "perfect coach" for the club, after losing the first five games of the season.
His announcement came after a day of talks with club bosses, who had tried to convince him to stay on.
Gladbach, who have called a press conference for Monday afternoon, have rejected Favre's resignation and former Bayern Munich and Fulham coach Felix Magath says they are right to be disappointed with his actions.
"In my eyes, the way he has left wasn't clean," Magath told the Tz newspaper. "Announcing his resignation without consultation with the club was wrong.
"By doing that, Favre has snubbed the club who wanted to get through this crisis with him and put them into a difficult situation."
There was praise from another former Bayern coach, on the other hand, with Ottmar Hitzfeld telling Switzerland's Blick newspaper that he "warrants my respect."
"Only Lucien Favre can really judge the situation and draw his conclusions," added Hitzfeld.

One of Vladimir Putin's closest friends believes Donald Trump will be the next president of the United States, and that Western leaders are no match for the Russian president.
Sergei Roldugin, a childhood friend of Putin's and godfather to his eldest daughter, made international headlines earlier this year after his name featured in the leaked Panama Papers as the owner of a sprawling network of offshore accounts.
Some Western media said the papers suggested Roldugin, 64, was looking after Putin's money.
Putin called such reports "a provocation" and said Roldugin, a famous cellist, had done nothing wrong and spent the money he earned from business on buying expensive musical instruments.
Speaking in the Kremlin on Thursday before Putin bestowed a state award on him, Roldugin said:
"I know who will win in America. You may check it later. Trump will win."
He went on to say that politicians changed their behaviour once they were in power.
"I can't say I feel euphoria about Trump winning because he said he was with Putin and Hillary (Clinton) hasn't said that. Putin has said he will work with either and he's right."
Trump, the Republican candidate, has been criticised by Clinton, his Democratic Party rival, for praising Putin as a strong leader and saying ties with Moscow should be improved at a time when Moscow and Washington are at odds over Syria and Ukraine.
The Kremlin has tried to take a neutral stance on the US election, saying it will respect the choice of the American people, though Kremlin-backed TV channels have tilted their coverage in favour of Trump, whom Putin called "very talented."
Roldugin said Putin was a more impressive leader than his various Western counterparts, listing German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Francois Hollande, and US President Barack Obama as being guilty of not taking responsibility and of concealing the true nature of agreements they had struck.

In the late 1880s, Charles Marsland, a coal hewer, married Rachel Fidler at St Mary's Church, Cheadle. They would have two children, John and Eliza. The family lived for many years at 313 London Road, Hazel Grove and both children were born in the village
When John left school, he gained an apprenticeship with Swain & Co, the publishers of the Stockport Express and the Cheshire Daily Echo. In due course, he served his time to become a letterpress printer. In May 1915, John travelled into Manchester; joined the army and was assigned to the Artillery. 150th Brigade was part of the Army's 30th Division which contained several battalions of infantry of the Manchester and Liverpool "Pals".
The Division went overseas towards the end of 1915 and, around this time, John will have been promoted first to Lance Bombardier and then to Bombardier. These are the artillery equivalents of the infantry ranks of Lance Corporal and Corporal
The infantry attack on 1 July 1916 normally marks the opening of the Battle of the Somme but John will have been in action for two weeks before this as the artillery bombarded the German trenches and fired to try to cut the barbed wire that was strung across No Man's Land. The thoroughness of the artillery in the south of the battlefield made 30th Division's attack one of the rare successes of the day. In preparation for further attacks, there had been no respite for John and his mates and they were firing almost constantly for the next two weeks.
Further advances were made and, as the front line moved forward so did the artillery. After he was killed, one of the officers from "B" Battery wrote to his parents to explain what had happened. "He was sent forward to dig a new gun emplacement in a forward position to which the battery was moving. A party of 15 in all they were, and all was very quiet in the evening when suddenly without warning, a single shell burst on the road amongst them. Only seven escaped. Your son was only two yards from where the shell burst and was killed instantly. He was buried the same evening close to where he was killed. Your son had only joined the battery recently. He had had much hard work to do, digging and building, but he always did his duty conscientiously and cheerfully."
Further information about John, including a photograph, can be found in the book "Hazel Grove to Armageddon" by John Eaton. In the book Mr Eaton writes that John shares his grave with another soldier, Gunner Dawson and concludes that it was probably not possible to separately identify the bodies. In fact, there are not two burials in the grave and William Dawson's body is buried separately next to John's grave (as confirmed by the grave reference information of the website of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission).

At the Livingston Depot, dedicated to the history of the Northern Pacific Railroad, visitors learn how rail was key to the growth of the American West and can climb aboard an old steam train. The Yellowstone Gateway Museum sheds light on the areas Native American culture, the settling of Montana by early pioneers and the history of cowboys. Down the road at The Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, a renowned display of dinosaur artifacts, including a full size T-Rex skeleton, as well as a planetarium, will fascinate the whole family.
While most vacationers choose a Paradise Valley vacation rental in the warm high season, there are many reasons to buck the trend. Choose a visit in spring or fall, when prices dip and you'll find Paradise Valley still temperate, yet with far fewer people out on the trails. It's in the heart of winter, though, that Montana shows its wilder side. From the mountains to the snowy plains, Paradise Valley is a spectacular sight at this time of year. With many driven away by the drop in temperatures you can experience the West as it should be – vast and empty.
The Yellowstone National Park needs little introduction, but most are less familiar with the astonishing number of species that can be spotted here. In the 90s, gray wolves were reintroduced, and there's now a thriving population of more than 370 inhabiting Yellowstone. If you are lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of an elusive wolverine or lynx. Much like an African safari, as you tour the park, it's not uncommon to see herds of giant bison and elk. The stars of the show, though, are undoubtedly the 500 grizzlies that amble through the park, often with cubs in tow.

Growing up we had two large black Labradors, one female and one male. The male was quite the character. We named him Al, for Al Monday, a character in a tv series called 'It Takes a Thief', because Al could get out of anything. He never really grew up and played like a puppy all of the time. We dressed him in our clothes and paraded him around. He chased the squirrels and wanted to play with the golfers as they went down the seventeenth fair that ran alongside our yard. He was just a great dog.
The female, Lady was a different story. Dad purchased her for her breeding. She was suppose to be a great hunting dog, but she wasn't. She was gun shy and very quiet. What one would call a silent killer rather than say the bark is worse than the bite. She was my Dad's dog, but loved us all. What I remember about her the most is her snoring. No one could tell the difference between her snoring and Dad's ….. and boy could Dad snore. I remember one night coming home late after everyone had gone to bed, I had brought a friend home with me and when I opened the door, I heard loud snoring. My poor friend had to wait outside in the cold until I could locate Lady and lock her in my parents room. If I hadn't, my friend would have been bitten for sure.
Now, I have a little female Yorkshire and she has picked up my snoring. It makes me smile and touches my heart in a way that nothing else does.

Sometimes the fastest way to find out what you want to do is to find out what you don't want to do. Like the police, eliminating suspects from their enquiries. To Do lists can be so… oppressive. Their TICK ME neediness. Their goody-goody 'Well done me, I'm more organised than Mary Poppins'. In the same way that you know what you don't want in men, dresses and houses (short, sleeveless and dark in that order) maybe starting with the don'ts is more constructive than we realise. Let's explore…
- Order a second bottle of wine on a school night just because you're feeling free and loose after the first. A second bottle doesn't sustain that feeling. It throws it off a cliff, laughing.
Be weird about food. Life's too short, isn't it? And one day you'll be dead and thinner than you can possibly imagine.
Worry about death. Seriously, some good people have done it. David Bowie, Noel Coward and Jackie Collins are all waiting for us. It can't be that bad.
Shout at people when you're in your car. Maybe they pulled out in front of you because they're having a really bad day and are in a rush or had some bad news and aren't concentrating properly. Shout at them in your head instead. And then take it out on your family when you get home.
Say no to invitations. Saying no to invitations is saying no to life. Regret what you have done, not what you haven't. You know the drill (unless you're in the middle of a really good box set, in which case, fuck the stupid party.)
Panic if you can't sleep. Panicking only makes it worse, you know that. Your body will get you through the next day. And people will think you're weird and interesting as you charge around, wild-eyed and overloaded with adrenaline, raging about how you couldn't get Radio GaGa out of your head between 3-6am this morning.
Get cross with your parents. They love you even when you're being an arsehole.
Get hang ups about your body. So you don't have boobs like Blake Lively or an arse like Gisele Bundchen. She only eats broccoli in boiled water. Get over it.

Massive import related and credit card fraud from Africa
|It seems African criminals are focusing on international manufacturing and export companies in two ways. Firstly by pressuring exporters for free samples to be sent to various countries around Africa and secondly by trying to use stolen credit card numbers to pay for these goods. The criminals often use a billing or contact address in Germany, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Spain or Denmark, all countries known to have large African immigrant communities.
Exporters are advised to exercise extreme caution when dealing with the African continent due to the fact that over 95% of fraud reports to ExportBureau are the result of transactions with African criminals.
If you have any information please contact ExportBureau
|If you would like to add the ExportBureau international fraud report news box on your website simply include this simple line of code anywhere in your pages

The Yonaguni Monument
The Yonaguni Monument is a massive rock monument discovered off the coast of Yonaguni island. There is a debate about whether the site is completely natural, is a natural site that has been modified, or is a manmade artifact but the pics are very clear! It seems unlikely the natural origin of those one for example:
Yonaguni Monument Discovery
The sea off Yonaguni is a popular diving location during the winter months owing to its large population of hammerhead sharks. In 1987, while looking for a good place to observe the sharks, Kihachiro Aratake, a director of the Yonaguni-Cho Tourism Association, noticed some singular seabed formations resembling architectonic structures. Shortly thereafter, a group of scientists directed by Masaaki Kimura of theUniversity of the Ryūkyūs visited the Monument.
The formation has since become a relatively popular attraction for divers in spite of the strong currents. In 1997, Japanese industrialist Yasuo Watanabe sponsored an informal expedition comprising writers John Anthony West and Graham Hancock, photographer Santha Faiia, geologist Robert Schoch, a few sport divers and instructors, and a shooting crew for Channel 4 and Discovery Channel. Another notable visitor was freediver Jacques Mayol, who wrote a book on his dives at Yonaguni.
The Yonaguni Monument
Tool marks and carvings have been discovered upon the stones (and documented) which indicate that they have were constructed rather than being natural stone structures.
Masaaki Kimura, a marine geologist from Japan's Ryukyus University, Japan has been studying and mapping the site for over 15 years and believes that the site is over five thousand years old – but was sunk during an earthquake two thousand years ago.
Others have estimated that the structure is far older – including Teruaki Ishii, professor of geology at Tokyo University who determined that the submergence occurred at the end of the last ice age – which was around ten thousand years ago (over twice as old as the pyramids in Egypt) – If this is the case, then our history books would have to be revised to take into account an advanced Eastern culture, more advanced than any early Western culture.
Here are more pics and videos about Yonaguni Monument:

An aging intellectual, still struggling with the aftermath of a mysterious and debilitating illness, seeks solace in a series of sexual encounters with much younger women. Simply put, this is not a new theme for a novel, but author Fabrizio Ulivieri manages to deconstruct the conventional notion of love and sexuality and to add layers of psychological and emotional depth to his tormented main character and his lovers. Although the descriptions of explicit, often extreme sex are attracting a lot of attention to Rugíle, Ulivieri's latest novel, much darker, primeval fears powerfully emerge as the focus of this narrative. Rugíle is indeed an odyssey of the senses, an attempt to transcend the boundaries of normalcy but, above all, is a mournful, cerebral elegy, an exorcism about impermanence, fear, aging, and death. The unnamed protagonist and his lovers are all doomed souls. He is an older Italian man, cultured and of good social standing, who pursues young, exotic lovers in an almost vampire-like mode partly to recapture his lost youth, partly because he is fascinated by the otherness. He doesn't like Italian women, whom he considers vulgar and foulmouthed. He finds mature women repulsive. Their wrinkles evoke the decaying of the flesh in death. Instead, he needs to feed on youth and vigor. His women are Asian, American, and Eastern European and each hides a tragic past, a troubled family history or an addiction to unspeakable sexual obsessions. But each also brings a perspective on other cultures and other social mores that entice him. They represent possible portals to possible multiple universes. They also are the only remaining possibility to experience love. The protagonist, who at the beginning of the book states that he has lost respect for women, engages in a series of sexual encounters that lead him to experience fifty shades of feelings. He also undergoes several shades of tragedy: three women meet a tragic death. Ipazia, a bi-sexual nymphomaniac with whom he has an intense relationship, miscarries their child and later dies ravaged by cancer. A troubled Skype friend, Ingrid, dies through suicide. Lastly, a car accident ends his life and that of the woman he could have loved. Rugíle, the title character, is addicted to oral sex to the point of servicing men for payments. She takes the protagonist on an unusual path involving a complex exploration of entanglement, ultimate transgressions, acceptance, complicity, and the re-shaping of the concept of love itself. Two cities, Florence in Italy where the protagonist lives and Vilnius in Lithuania, provide the main backdrop for the characters' interaction. While Florence's geography is mostly represented thorough the description of various trendy locales such as the bookstores, literary cafés, and upscale restaurants where the protagonist meets his lovers, the segments of the story that take place in Vilnius stress the city's vibrancy and soulful beauty. They also offer a glimpse on a post-totalitarian, post-modern society trying to forge/reclaim its own identity.
Other cities or countries that play an important role in the characters' lives, such as Korea, Japan, The United States, and, to a lesser extent, Milan in Italy, are a relevant element in the protagonist and the women's own tormented life journey. Kami, a Japanese woman, struggles against the strict rules of Japanese society, Ipazia carries a tragic family legacy connected to her country's political and territorial divisions. American-born Camilla lives in a duality, torn between her consumer and sex-driven, efficiency-obsessed American culture and the more laid-back Italian lifestyle.
Ulivieri writes with ease, in a fluid narrative. The book starts with an explicit masturbation scene that, like all other similar situations, is described in detail and in a detached, aseptic fashion. Since there is no space left to the reader's imagination and this defuses the narration's erotic charge, one wonders if Ulivieri wants to remind us that the novel is more about an unrequited quest for knowledge and immortality and that sex is only one avenue to pursue. The novel's tragic ending is also a liberation, a gateway to the cosmic dimensions that the protagonist had long attempted to comprehend. At the end of each chapter, a summary directs the reader to delve into the deeper connections and the reverberation of our actions on a wider, cosmic scale. It also makes references to the laws of Quantum physics and other scientific theories. Not everyone is well-versed in Quantum physics or string theory and some readers may find that the use of this literary technique slows down the narration and may appear a bit too didactic. Ulivieri states that Rugíle is having a great success with young people and Millennials. It is indeed a contemporary novel, filled with so many echoes of today's reality: virtual intimacy, social media, mass migrations, proxy wars, stagnation, uncertainty, and the general malaise that permeates our existence, the impermanence on which the characters' life is based upon.
Fabrizio Ulivieri lives in Florence, Italy.
He is a professor of Italian language and literature at the Istituto Europeo. He has published several novels, including Il ritorno che non volevo, L' eterno ritorno, Il sorriso della meretrice (2013), Cecilia,storia di un'aliena a Firenze (2014), Amore Šaltibarščiai e pomodori rossi: Biografia di un amore dall'interno, and Rugíle. He is the author of the essays Il Culo e la riduzione fenomenologica, and Albert Richter: un'aquila fra le svastiche. Il ciclismo tedesco fra nazismo e esoterismo, 1919-1939, published in 2007.
Anna Ciampolini Foschi lives in Vancouver, British Columbia. She is a short story writer, anthology editor and journalist. She is a co-founder of the Association of Italian Canadian Writers and the co-founder and co-Chair of the F.G. Bressani Literary Prize, sponsored by Vancouver's Italian Cultural Centre. About Rugíle, she says: "The novel's genre was rather new to me. Writing a review from my point of view was an interesting experience."

February 2015
Are you seeing an increase in baby boomers renewing their motorcycle licenses or obtaining a motorcycle permit/license for the first time?
Motorcycle Education Coordinator, Utah Driver License Division
Utah has seen a 63 percent decrease in first-time motorcycle endorsements issued among baby boomers in the last 10 years. In 2004, Utah issued 2,254 first-time endorsements. In 2014, that figure dropped to 1,421 for that age group. However, Utah has seen a 167 percent increase in renewals of motorcycle endorsements among baby boomers in the last 10 years. The Utah Driver License Division renewed 9,070 endorsements in 2004 and 14,751 in 2014.
We can determine from this information that as baby boomers age, the interest in new riders learning to ride may be waning. But with those baby boomers who already had a motorcycle endorsement, the interest and excitement of riding still exists.
Nebraska Highway Safety Administrator, Nebraska Office of Highway Safety
In Nebraska, the number of motorcycle license endorsements [in general] has increased 12 percent in the past five years (2010–2014). The percentage of women operators has increased by 1 percent. The percentage of riders under the age of 21 decreased from 1.9 to 1.5 percent, while the percentage of riders ages 60 and older increased from 17 to 23 percent. The percentage of all licensed motorcycle operators with a CDL endorsement remains at 27 percent. When broken down into five-year age groups, the largest percentage of motorcycle licensees are those ages 50–54 at 13 percent. There are currently eight individuals ages 95 and older that hold a valid Nebraska motorcycle endorsement.
Community Relations Coordinator, PennDOT Safety Administration
In the past 10 years, the total number of licensed motorcyclists [in Pennsylvania] has increased by nearly 100,000. In 2004, nearly 46 percent of licensed motorcyclists were baby boomers between the ages of 50 and 70, with the highest representation of riders ages 50–58. In 2013, the percentage of licensed motorcyclists in that age group grew to 55 percent of the overall population of licensed motorcyclists, with the highest representation of riders falling in the 52–62 age group. The total population of motorcyclists in the baby boomer age group increased by more than 126,000 between 2004 and 2013. The number of motorcycle registrations in the same time period rose from 288,196 to 405,209—an increase of over 117,000.
Director, South Dakota Motorcycle Rider Education Program, South Dakota Safety Council
Since 2008, the number of baby boomers obtaining motorcycle licenses in South Dakota has increased at a rate of over 42 percent. The largest increase has occurred with boomers between the ages of 61 and 67. Boomers in this age category have seen motorcycle license increases close to 70 percent.
The baby boomer generation makes up the largest segment of South Dakota's riding population at 49 percent of licensed motorcyclists, but they only account for 39 percent of motorcycle drivers involved in crashes. Despite concerns regarding the increased number of baby boomers operating motorcycles, the statistics illustrate they are underrepresented in crashes. In South Dakota, riders up through age 29 continue to be overrepresented [in crashes] when compared to their portion of licensed motorcycle operators.

Hackers have accessed the personal information of more than ten million subscribers to a popular online game developed by one of the industry's leaders, Nexon.
The Korea Communications Commission and Nexon, developer of the game in question, Maple Story, said Friday that the company's backup server was hacked, resulting in the leak of 13 million subscribers' personal information. Nexon has a total of 18-million subscribers.
Nexon confirmed the leak on Thursday and informed the KCC at around five o'clock Friday afternoon. It also asked the police to investigate on Friday.
This is the second largest ever private information leak after the personal information of some 35-million subscribers of the social network service (SNS) Cyworld and portal site Nate were leaked in August. A KCC team is investigating to determine if there was any negligence on the part of Nexon and whether the game developer has violated laws on privacy.

This group will meet monthly beginning next week.
Second, we still have many student positions available in Dining Services. These positions offer flexible hours based around student schedules, locations close to residence halls, and opportunities for advancement and management experience. A bonus program is now in effect that will allow students to earn approximately a $1.00 or more per hour depending on the total hours worked in the semester. Miami University does limit student workers to no more than 22 hours per week. We encourage you to look into employment opportunities, especially at Garden Commons and Western Dining Commons.
