My favourite vendors?
- Blaze's Beans - one of the best pickled beans I've ever tried (that didn't come out of my kitchen of course)! (http://www.blazesbeans.com/)
- Island Farms - best ice cream ever! (http://islandfarms.com/)
- Kidd Bros Honey - did you know they had different flavours of honey? The cinnamon and glacier are out of control! (http://www.westernsagehoney.com/)
- Luna & Larry's Coconut Bliss - now I love my dairy ice cream and normally any non-dairy ice "cream" just doesn't cut it for me. However, Luna and Larry's coconut milk ice cream was delicious...thoroughly surprised me. Definitely a good go-to when you have lactose intolerant or vegan friends coming over. (http://coconutbliss.com/)
- Mash - this low calorie water drink was delightful! It took me by surprise because it's carbonated, but it was a nice surprise. Tasted like pop but lighter and less sugary. Although, I also enjoyed their sister drink, Boylan's pop. I went old school and got the grape...delicious! (http://www.drinkmash.com/) (http://www.boylanbottling.com/)
- Fresh Ginger Gingerale - I may be a bit biased because I love gingerale and they gave me a cheat sheet on how to make alcoholic cocktails with their different flavours, but this gingerale was delightful! (http://www.freshgingerale.com/)
Okay...so, not exactly a restaurant vendor, but the Ring Pop lady completely made my night! Picture one of those old school Vegas Casino ladies with the tray of cigarettes she's selling. Now, imagine that tray full of Ring Pops instead of cigarettes...it took me straight back to being 5 years old. It was awesome! Things to note: Ring pops are now completely jelly candy (like a jelly bean). No more hardness and stickiness getting all over your hands. I quite liked it, and it's probably a lot more hygienic. And, yes, my hand looks like it's been stretched by some medieval machine in this photo.
Tickets have been purchased...let the restaurant vendo tasting begin!
(Sheet of 20 cost $10)
Ssam Shrimp Lettuce Wrap from Noodle Box...delicious!!! Had I been with family instead of friends, I probably would have licked my plate clean. (4 tickets, $2)
Clam Chowder in a sour dough bowl from Glowbal Group. (Unknown number of tickets) This looked very yummy.
Butter Chicken from New India (8 tickets, $4). Very nice and completely filled my belly and satisfied my craving for butter chicken!
Naan, a Chicken Skewer and a Mango Lemonade. The naan and chicken skewer looked and smelled delicious! Unfortunately I can't remember what restaurant it was from for the life of me...I'm so sorry restaurant! The mango lemonade was nice and light and refreshing and was from New India. (4 tickets, $2)
Pakora from New India. This was actually free when I bought my mango lemonade, because we'd picked up our 30 day free trial Foodie Cards. I didn't try the pakora but I was told it was very good, but very spicy. As for the Foodie Cards...very intriguing concept. The card gives you deals at specific restaurants around Vancouver within certain limitations and restrictions (e.g. 2 for 1, up to a max of 2 people, excludes Saturday and Sundays, reservations must be made). I'll keep you posted on what I think of my 30 day free trial.
The live Celebrity Chef Throwdown! Erin Cebula of ET Canada hosted with Bal Arneson (the Spice Goddess) while Trevor Bird (Chef/Owner of Fable...LOVE this restaurant), Anna Olson and Rob Feenie competed in an Iron Chef-like competition. The secret ingredient? Granville Island's Ginja Ninja beer! Trevor Bird made a gazpacho with poached halibut on top, served in his signature canning jar (love this about Fable!). Anna Olson made a dish with an appy asparagus and a dessert asparagus with a lunch salad inbetween. And this is horrible, but I can't remember what Rob Feenie made for the life of me, but it looked yummy and must have tasted yummy because he won. Not quite as exciting as I thought it was going to be, but still lots of fun to see these fabulous chefs at work.
A bit of Raclette from the Swiss Cheese house! Look at that cheese boil and bubble. If you're a cheese lover and have never tried raclette...you need to figure out where you can try it and get to it!
Action shot! The warm and gooey raclette being scraped off onto bread by the cheese master himself. (7 tickets, $3.50)
Low and behold, the Ring Pop lady was not alone...there was also a Rockets lady! The five year old inside of me was definitely as giddy as a school girl when I got these!
And for dessert...a scoop of Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream from Island Farms. (3 tickets, $1.50) Perfect way to end the evening!
My only regret for the evening was not keeping an eye on the time and missing last call in the Beer and Wine section. Seriously...all of those delicious BC beer and wine options and I didn't get to try any of them. Sniff sniff. Next year, this will definitely be my first stop!

Preview Questions:
(printable version)
- If Anatomy is the study of naming body parts and describing them, what does physiology study?
- The way something is shaped, determines what it can do. A heart is the body's pump, because it is made of muscle around chambers filled with blood that when squeezed push that blood into attached pipes. Think of an example in the 'real' world that explains how structure dictates function.
- When we look at a person, we see an entire organism. To understand this entirety, we break it down into smaller parts…all the way to the chemical level of atoms. Can you list all the levels?
- Vitamin D (VD) is made when sunlight (UV rays) hits and interacts with the skin. VD keeps us healthy in many ways. If we don't get enough sunlight, our body can't make enough VD. Many of us are deficient. How else does the integumentary system support us?
- Bone is hard and solid, like concrete. Bones hold us up against gravity. Muscle attach to them and when they contract, they move. This hard material also protects softer tissue; like the brain by the skull or the lungs by the ribs. How else does the skeletal system support us?
- Muscles contract pulling the end-points closer. Give examples how the body makes use of that function.
- Nerves are like wires that physically connect every part of your body with the brain. The brain coordinates body functions via electrical signals. Does the brain send signals fast or slow?
- Glands secrete chemicals (hormones) that coordinate body functions via the blood stream. Do you think that process is slow or fast?
- Blood is a great medium to carry chemicals through pipes (blood vessels) and deliver them all over the body. What organ pumps the blood around?
- The cardiovascular system is not fully efficient in keeping all the liquid in its pipes (the vessels). The lymphatic system picks up fluid and returns it back to the blood near the heart. How else does this system help us?
- Our body needs molecules in the form of gases from the environment to survive. Oxygen is needed in the body to make energy (ATP it's called in us). Where in the lung does the gas exchange occur?
- Food is how we nurture our bodies with particles that give us energy and keep us functioning healthily. Breaking big junks of food down into small enough pieces that the body can absorb requires that we chew and churn the food physically as well as squirt a bunch of chemicals onto it helping to digest further. Physically chewing your food well is where you consciously affect this process. Next time you eat savory food such as a cheese or meat sandwich, chew a bite for 30 times. How does this compare to normal?
- The kidneys filter your blood and make pee. How does that keep us healthy?
- What is the reproductive systems main purpose?
- In order to keep us alive, our body needs certain overarching functions. For example, boundaries keeps us distinct from the environment. This way we can keep our inside within very specific parameters. Just think of body temperature, or how the skin doesn't let dirt come in. Since we need to eat, we need to move and manipulate the world around us (movement). Food needs to be broken down (digestion), so that the body can absorb the small chemicals and make energy out of them (metabolism). What other four body functions are necessary to sustain our life?
- Besides love and emotional nurturing, our bodies have a few fundamental things needed to survive. Our body temperature needs to be within a narrow range, the atmospheric pressure around us also has to be a certain way. What other two main things do we need to survive?
- It is crucial for our bodies internal environment to be stable. That goes for body temperature, but also for blood calcium levels, blood glucose levels, oxygen levels, acidity and much more. When the body is stable, it is in …. (write proper word).
- In order to keep that stability, the body constantly balances things out. If it gets too warm, it cools it down for example; the body does the opposite to what got it to this state. That's why it is called NEGATIVE feedback loop. What are the components of a homeostatic control system?
- In a POSITIVE feedback loop, the initial stimulus becomes stronger and intensifies. Most of the time this is not helpful for the body and is associated with disease processes (pathology). There are however a few 'normal' body processes that are explained by this process. List an example of such.
- Anatomy has to do with giving names to body parts. In order to reference body areas properly, we describe everything in the anatomical position. Describe how it look?
- And of course, since the entire world has to communicate and use the same terms, the language they are in is either ancient Greek or Latin. Regional terms start exposing you to this language. Some of them you recognize as we use them in more common language; such as 'oral' for mouth, or abdominal for stomach. Please explain another 5 terms.
- Directional terms help us explain parts to one another; such as 'above', 'below', 'in front', or 'behind'. What are they in the 'anatomy' language?
- If we take a picture of the inside body, such as an MRI or X-ray, we have to do it in slices, since we cannot do it in 3D. Three main planes are described. What are they?
- Boundaries are necessary to keep different internal body environments separated. For example, the lungs need a very different environment then a gut or a brain. List the different cavities.
Please send me the answers you come up with to those questions before the class meets to [email protected] Thank you.
Here are the videos answering the questions in class:

I like the talks by Sir Ken Robinson. He is an expert on education and opened my eyes to it. I never had a formal 'teaching' education and his information helped me greatly in structuring this class. He heavily stresses the fact that we all should try to find our areas of talent and interests and work on developing them. Please watch his talk, you will enjoy it. He's got the dry, english humor.
Other Videos I like from Ken Robinson:
I also liked his book 'The Element'. I listened to it on audible, a format I got to appreciate over time. Even though it is easy to space out what is being read, it helped build my concentration skills...and, I can listen to a book while I'm hiking, in the car or standing in line at Trader Joe's.
This next, short talk will make you smile and appreciate your path.

I'm nearly there with this one. I just have to add the date, but I am stitching it over one, which makes it impossible to do on the bus. Well, that wouldn't matter anyway because I have been reading Harry Potter on the bus.
I will need a project for the bus tomorrow because there's no more Potter until Saturday.

Lugi Lions RFC playing at the Centrala IP in Lund, Sweden with competitive men's, women's, youth and social old boy's teams. Read more »
The 2011 Rugby World Cup in less than two weeks away!
And so I am pleased to announce that it is that time again ladies and gentlemen: time to start putting together your fantasy rugby team. Signing up is free and can be done at: espnscrum.fantasyleague.com.
Following the 6 Nations earlier this year, I must admit disappointment at allowing a former player – and a pommie bastard, no less – walk away with the glory. It was however a long and close fought battle, with many bruised egos and lost beer-bets.
I think us local lads can do a lot better this time. But of course, we will keep the competition open to anyone associated with the club: past, present, future, friend or family.
The Lugi League has the imaginative name of 'Lugi Lions' and has the PIN number 1372.
So read up on the rules and start thinking about your team. This is what you're up against.
The first round games are as follows:
It is with a little trepidation that I take over the match report reins from our usual journalistic maestro. However, I hope to do Jim justice.
First up, I think it is fair to say that with the arrival of new exchange students, there was a sense of anticipation to see how the new recruits would fair, and none of them disappointed. Discipline was the order of the day from our skipper, Paolo. One new player remarked after the game about how he got a little bit 'scared' by the speech given by Paolo (about how we should be disciplined as a side and not give away silly penalties or get involved in the darker parts of the breakdowns). With all this said, I think it's safe to say that we were all a little surprised when Paolo was not only the first warned by the referee, but also given a yellow card 15 minutes into the game for repeated infringes. This all but signalled the end of his day as a suspicious '3 stud shaped' looking cut to the head led to him spending the afternoon in the emergency room. The less said about his departure from the field the better.
On the Annual Meeting 2/3 2011 the membership fees for 2011 was decided as follows:
Senior – 1200 SEK full year 700 SEK half year
Junior – 600 SEK
Support members – 300 SEK (Oldboys, Family members, Friends, Fans and LUGI lovers…)
Pay your membership fee cash to Paolo or Mia-Maria Nordlund or (much better!!!) put money to our POSTGIRO account 797887-7. Make sure to state your name and birth number when paying to the bank account. If you are a support member paying send and email to our email account firstname.lastname@example.com after paying so we can put you on our supporters mailing list.
Most of what needs to be said about the match against Karlstad has already been said. Poor attendance at training damages our game. Getting up at six in the morning makes us drowsy. Travelling for seven hours saps the strength from our legs. It's hard to turn that around and with the exception of a few passages of play, we never did.
I'm going to keep it relatively brief in this match report, point out a few of our strengths and weaknesses and highlight what needs to be highlighted.
The fifth chapter of our 2011 season took place in Lund, in our second home game. This time we were facing Stockholm Exiles, a team well known for their fast and fierce players. It was the 6th August and it was our first game after a three week break from rugby practice, well deserved if you ask me. The weather was perfect, warm and almost no wind at all. We entered the pitch with 15 players, new personal goals, great self-confidence and with the mind set of have fun no matter what. As some of you readers might know, I was one of the 15 players on the pitch this day and I find it hard to remember details about the game and how we played. I'll try my best to tell you an over-all story about the game and its highlights.

BG Group Receives Lake Charles LNG Project Approval from FERC
BG Group announced Friday that it has received approval from the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to construct and operate a natural gas liquefaction and export facility at the Lake Charles LNG export project, situated in Louisiana.
FERC approval is the key remaining regulatory consent for the Lake Charles LNG project, which BG Group is developing with Energy Transfer Equity LP and Energy Transfer Partners, LP. Energy Transfer owns an existing LNG regasification facility in Lake Charles, which will be converted to a liquefaction facility. The project has conditional authorization from the US Department of Energy for the export of up to 2 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day or approximately 15 million metric tons of LNG per annum.
Final investment decisions from both BG Group and Energy Transfer are expected to be made in 2016, with construction to start immediately following a positive decision. First LNG exports are expected around four years later.
Helge Lund, BG Group chief executive, commented in a company statement:
"We are pleased to receive the approval from FERC, an important milestone as we progress the Lake Charles project towards a final investment decision. By utilising a brownfield site, and the ready supply of gas from the US grid, Lake Charles LNG offers one of the largest and most competitive new LNG supply options in the marketplace."

It's the eye-popping gamble that Netflix took last Sunday.
Check out the new official trailer for "The Cloverfield Paradox," the secret "Cloverfield" movie that Netflix released last Sunday right after the Super Bowl.
The streaming company struck a deal with Paramount for the film's streaming rights, and made the bold decision to not only promote the sci-fi movie during the big game, but also to release it on the night of. A gamble that, for all intents and purposes, pretty much worked as a successful promotional stunt. Even though, the film, itself, is being panned by critics.
Directed by indie filmmaker Julius Onah (The Girl Is in Trouble) and produced by J. J. Abrams, who apparently re-worked the original story to fit it into the "Cloverfield" multi-universe, "Paradox" stars Gugu Mbatha-Raw, David Oyelowo, Daniel Bruhl, Chris O'Dowd, Aksel Hennie, Zhang Ziyi, John Ortiz, and Elizabeth Debicki as an international group of scientists aboard a space station who are trying desperately to solve the energy crisis on Earth, only to end up opening up a portal to a dark parallel universe during an experiment-gone-wrong mishap.
"The Cloverfield Paradox," which is the third entry in the "Cloverfield" franchise, is available right now on Netflix.
Side note: a fourth "Cloverfield" movie, which is said to be taking place in World War II during the D-Day invasion, is expected to be released in theaters later in the year, sometime in October through Paramount and not Netflix.
Orbiting above a planet on the brink of war, scientists test a device to solve an energy crisis and end up face-to-face with a dark alternate reality.
directed by Julius Onah
starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw, David Oyelowo, Daniel Bruhl, Chris O'Dowd, Ziyi Zhang, John Ortiz, Roger Davies, Elizabeth Debicki, Aksel Hennie
release date February 4, 2018 (on Netflix)

I walked in the door from the busy world outside and was born into a space of silence. I sat down to rest and the stillness was almost unnerving. I was listening, though I wasn't sure for what.
My mind focused on the ticking of the clock and I felt a half-soothing from its regularity. But, it was also not at all satisfying. It was discordantly too consistent.
I caught the sound of neighbors running some machinery that I couldn't identify. I felt anger rise that they dare distract me from my quest for what I needed to hear.
Then I realized as I sighed, I was missing you. I want to lie in the dark, listening to your breathing. I want to hear the irregular normalcy of your routine each day. I want to hear the music of your laugh. I want to hear you say you love me.
So, I listened to my heart. I heard its tears and whispered, "Someday." And my heart was listening and believed.

I picked up Double Dragon IV for the Switch last week and have put several hours into it since. Amazingly fun game and I don't get the general distain for it by most people. I don't know what disappointed people were expecting, they went for a NES-style DDII sequel and delivered above and beyond exactly that. It has quite a few levels, an endless survival mode, modern or retro soundtrack, and the ability to play any mode in the game with every single fucking character. I can throw $7 in the garbage and not miss it. I guarantee if they shoehorned this into a real NES cart and charged 7 bucks for it people would shit and rub it in their hair.
In perspective it costs like $1 more than NES Double Dragon II sells for on any Virtual Console platform, and to me delivers a hell of a lot more than the $30 3DS River City sequels.

Today is 4/14, and that's a cool number for me, since it's my school district: 414. I attended A.G. Bell Elementary. I feel this cosmically meant I had to discover something as cool as the telephone - on a metaphysical level.
14 is the number of Osiris' penis. (Not in inches, though I hear he was hung like a rhino), but in body parts. Set cut his brother Osiris into 14 parts and cast them into the Nile. Isis found all the parts but one - his penis.
Isis then finds and buries each piece of her husband's body, with the exception of the penis, which she has to reconstruct with magic, because the original was eaten by fish in the river.
We can imagine the various body parts of Osiris as representing the various aspects of human consciousness. They were cut up and thrown into the Nile, AKA denial - the subconscious. Set is the realm of the denied subconscious - the denied truth about our Selves.
Isis has found all the others parts - we have come to know our other subconscious parts, but there is still one missing, and this one part is the key to the whole thing. Osiris' penis was eaten by a fish. This means that his sexuality, his divine lust, was taken from him by a creature of the underworld - the fish - Set - is the denied subconscious.
In a key episode in the conflict, Set sexually abuses Horus. Set's violation is partly meant to degrade his rival, but it also involves homosexual desire, in keeping with one of Set's major characteristics, his forceful and indiscriminate sexuality. In the earliest account of this episode, in a fragmentary Middle Kingdom papyrus, the sexual encounter begins when Set asks to have sex with Horus, who agrees on the condition that Set will give Horus some of his strength. The encounter puts Horus in danger, because in Egyptian tradition semen is a potent and dangerous substance, akin to poison. According to some texts, Set's semen enters Horus' body and makes him ill, but in "Contendings", Horus thwarts Set by catching Set's semen in his hands. Isis retaliates by putting Horus' semen on lettuces that Set eats. Set's defeat becomes apparent when this semen appears on his forehead as a golden disk. He has been impregnated with his rival's seed and as a result "gives birth" to the disk. In "Contendings", Thoth takes the disk and places it on his own head; in earlier accounts, it is Thoth who is produced by this anomalous birth.
So, we basically have homos playing the modern representation of Set, or "forceful and indiscriminate sexuality".
This is key, because sexuality is the Force of the universe. We, our own consciousness, is the result of a "forceful and indiscriminate cosmic sexuality". We just need to face it: the creative universe is in a constant state of FUCK.
Note that Horus desired Set's strength. This is because the source of it all, the Power, the Force, Dragon, Snake, Kundalini, is found in the lower chakras, the subconscious or reptilian remnants of our minds.
Set stole the solar power of Osiris. Just to remind y'all, Superman gets his power from the Sun. Superman is the son/sun of Jor-El, who is Marlon Brando. Brando is sex on wheels. Set is sex on wheels. Horus, who, like Superman, has the ability to fly, is the sun/son of Osiris.
He is the rising sun. And he only rises when he accepts his other "dad" - Set.
Homosexuality is so much in fashion it no longer makes news. Like a large number of men, I, too, have had homosexual experiences and I am not ashamed. I have never paid much attention to what people think about me. But if there is someone who is convinced that Jack Nicholson and I are lovers, may they continue to do so. I find it amusing. (1976)As we all know, Jack is the devil - the "Shining". He is the rising and setting son/sun.
The "rising sun" of human consciousness only rises out of the "sea" of the subconscious. Osiris' penis may represent his sexual desire, but that's only the tip of the iceberg. His penis is the thing that actually creates the universe.
Think about that sometimes, ye lonely masturbator. Think that you might have, in your very own hands, the key to it all. Or at the very least: a very cool metaphysical telephone.
That is why Michelle Shocked is right:
The 51-year-old singer reportedly said that if California's Proposition 8, which effectively bans gay marriage, is overturned, "it will be the downfall of civilization, and Jesus will come back."Gay marriage will bring back Jesus, who is Horus, who is Osiris and Set re-united, who is the symbolic representation of human consciousness and subconscious united in holy matrimony.

Rajat likes direction more than acting
Rajat Kapoor has given good performances in films like Dil Chahta Hai, Bheja Fry, Dasvidaniya and Ankhon Dekhi. Rajat says that he enjoys direction a lot more than acting.
Rajat has directed critically appreciated film like Ankhon Dekhi and plays like Nothing Like Lear was in Vadodara recently. He shared his thoughts, "I have enjoyed acting in the films that I have done. However, I enjoy direction more because as a director, I feel I can express myself completely. Besides, whether it is for my films or plays, I have been lucky to have had the privilege of working with some fantastic actors. For instance, it has been a real delight to work with Vinay Pathak, who is a very dear friend too. For the future, I have done a film called X as an actor, which has several filmmakers collaborating for the project. As a director, I have three scripts ready and will start working on my next film around January. When asked about his fascination for clowns in his plays, Rajat said, "I think a clown is a very pure being, who comes across as someone without any social baggage and it is easier to convey powerful emotions through them. Even my next play as a director will be with clowns."

Ubisoft Is Looking Into Assassin's Creed: Syndicate's SLI Issues
Ubisoft Is Looking Into Assassin's Creed: Syndicate's SLI Issues
Published: 23rd November 2015 | Source: DSOGaming |
Ubisoft Is Looking Into Assassin's Creed: Syndicate's SLI Issues
Right now SLI scaling in Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Syndicate is awful, but Ubisoft have confirmed that they are working on the issue, rather than giving up like Rocksteady have with Batman: Arkham Knight.
Ubisift's Community Manager, "Mr_Shade", has stated that Ubisoft are aware of the SLI issues, and that they will are working to resolve them. Right now Ubisoft recommend using a single GPU with the game until Nvidia release a new driver for SLI in Assassin's Creed Unity.
The team are aware of the issue and are working to resolve it – it's possible that Nvidia will release driver updates to correct this, but in the mean time – please try using just one GPU for the game so you can play if that solution works for you.
Right now Assassin's Creed: Syndicate is a highly demanding game, though not quite as demanding as it's predecessor Assassin's Creed: Unity. Right now max settings on Nvidia's flagship GTX 980Ti can have trouble maintaining a high framerate at 1080p, never mind a 4K or 1440p resolution.
With the game being so demanding, good SLI support is a must if users want to crank the settings up, so hopefully Ubisoft and Nvidia can fix their SLI support issues soon. Hopefully the game will also have good Crossfire support in the future, but given the state of other recent Ubisoft games this is highly unlikely.
You can join the discussion on Ubisift's SLI issues on Assassin's Creed Syndicate on the OC3D Forums.

I don't own this game but is it just SLI that's broken or is Xfire also not working well? Just curious.

I stumble under sunny-thunder sky. The weather
simply does as it chooses, and we all might
learn some lesson there. I've been drinking.
On the corner the church's old stone looks thirsty.
Nothing's coming. There's a little gauze hanging
in the wind, but the sun is beaming.
Thunder that is harbinger of nothing,
that doesn't tell fortunes. Thunder
with no rain
and I regret drinking so much so early
because I can't tell if I heard it at all.
A couple snuggles on the bench, their dog panting,
and I overhear a man describe a horse as "regal."
There it is again that rumble
like a truckload of apples spilling.
Like a god's big belly.
A dog in the sky.
Landslide from space.
Ocean of bones.

Top Trumps World Football Stars Slot
Free World Football Stars slot is one of Playtech's many games that feature some of the most famous faces in the world of football. With five reels and fifteen pay lines, this game has the basis of many online slots, it is simplistic in nature, has a very default design and the playability is hindered by a somewhat stereotypical setup.
That being said there is a potentially large jackpot on offer with this slot, and in most cases the house edge seldom ever exceeds 4.74 percent. With just over a ninety five percent chance of success of some sort in World Football Star slots players should be encouraged to play this game.
Although admittedly where World Football Stars slots does fall sorely behind is in the fact of originality. It doesn't really do anything that other Top Trumps or Playtech football themed games haven't already shown us and done before it.
Still, if new and exciting isn't your thing and like most gamers you just want to get your hands on a sizeable whopping jackpot then free World Football Stars slots might be for you. Unlike other titles this game features mainly recent footballers, and uses both wild cards and scatter symbols as primary methods of winning said jackpot.
It isn't much, but it does pay good and large, but is that enough for you?

On the back of the computer there is a winxp sticker with a product key. Because of only 512MB of ram memory I think its better to stick with windowsXP. I recently downloaded the msdn version of winxp home with sp3 (dutch edition) Can I install this version of windows with the product key from the back? Or is this not possible. Maybe I can copy the activation files from the current install and put it in the new one.

"Crime in the City of Frankston has increased 9.7% in the last year under the Andrews Labor Government - this isn't a crime wave, this is a crime tsunami," Ms Peulich said.
The rise follows a 57.1% rise in transportation regulation offences, a 53.8% jump in the cultivation or manufacturing of drugs, a 46.7% rise in dangerous and negligent acts endangering people, 40.4% hike in public nuisance offences, a 24.7% increase in arson and a 13.7% jump in assault and related offences.
"Daniel Andrews has abandoned community safety and presided over a 9.7% increase in the number of offences in the City of Frankston."
"Under Daniel Andrews our justice system is in crisis due to weak sentencing, watered down bail laws, repeal of move on laws, cuts to frontline police and closure of police stations," Ms Peulich said.
"These figures are undeniable proof that crime is completely out of control in the City of Frankston under Labor."
"One year ago, Daniel Andrews promised to smash the violent youth gangs running rampant across our state, but these statistics prove he hasn't even made a dent."
"Frankston's crime tsunami is completely out of control and Daniel Andrews has no solutions to fix it."

Discovering Prince Edward Island: Anne of Green Gables, a Fiddle Festival, and Four Kids in Tow
|July 24, 2015

I received the advance copies of Chance Harbor, my new novel yesterday. The publisher's box arrived at the perfect time: tomorrow I'm going to Prince Edward Island, where much of the book is set.
All of us carry our favorite landscapes inside us, whether they're the landscapes of our childhoods or our favorite trips abroad. Mine is PEI. Discovering this island changed my life.

Oak barrel tables. An authentic, working, bright red English telephone booth. A worn out "no tipping" sign. $2.00 pints of Genessee Cream Ale. The faint aroma of freshly sliced roast beef. These are some of the familiar characteristics of Clark's Ale House, an English style pub seemingly frozen in time in an area of downtown Syracuse that features businesses, expensive condos, and weekend dance clubs.
Sadly, Clark's is being forced to close its doors today, due to the expansion of the nearby Landmark Theatre. There are no plans to reopen elsewhere, and apparently not enough funds. I understand the city's need to host productions of Cats, Annie, and other big Broadway shows, but this just seems wrong. The little old man slicing roast beef behind the bar was one of the most reliable and comforting scenes I can think of, and it will now dissapear, possibly forever, to be replaced by glamour and showtunes.
If there is anything positive that can be taken from this, it is that a place like this can survive in Syracuse, a city along with all the others in upstate New York that have struggled for the last 100 years or so to establish any sort of economic identity and stability. Clark's made it work by serving only roast beef sandwiches, along with a rotating selection of about 15 craft beers. You wouldn't find a Bud light behind the bar, or a martini, or even a shot of whiskey. It is a testament to what they stood for. They knew how to do one or two things, and they did them right, for 18 years without bowing to trends or shifts in the marketplace. It goes to show that if you provide a consistent quality service and do it with character, people will come. Maybe they will open elsewhere, maybe not. Maybe someone will take their place and fulfill Syracuse's need for a tasty pint and a hot beef sandwich. Either way, it will never be quite the same, and I am glad that I got to experience this truly authentic beer lover's paradise.
As Clark's gets ready to shut its doors for the final time, they are bringing out out all of the kegs they have been saving for a rainy day. Among them, a 2007 Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine. I have had this beer several times, and have even tried aging it myself, but usually ran out of patience after a few months. It is one of my favorite beers, so I was excited to review a 3 year old version on my final trip to Clark's.
The aroma was surprisingly hoppy for a barleywine, especially considering it had been aged. There was also some caramel in the smell, with an obvious deep malty backbone.
Taking the first sip, I was taken aback by the complexity of flavors. Vanilla, caramel, malt, nutiness, with some subtle hops. It all ended with a warm, comforting finish. If you were to go to the store and try a current version of this beer, you will find that the finish is a bit harsher, due to the approximately 10% alcohol content. After aging, that bite mellows out, leaving behind a pronounced sweetness.

A group of construction workers in the US found themselves running for their lives after a landslide rushed them at high-speed taking out overhead power lines.
Bret Edwards and a number of his co-workers were clearing small debris from Highway 14 near Elk City in Idaho on Friday when they heard what they believed was the sound of rushing water.
"Is that a flood?" a man's voice echoes through Mr Edward's walkie-talkie as small rocks and debris start tumbling before them.
As the men stand around waiting for the rolling debris to subside, Mr Edwards takes out his smartphone and begins filming.
The landslide suddenly worsens, sending a flood of boulder size rocks, dirt and trees thrashing towards the road.
"Watch the power lines… power line," Mr Edwards screams to his friends as he runs, the vision shaking uncontrollably.
"Wow… you've got to be… wow."
With Mr Edwards and the crew at a safe distance, they turn to see the road where they were standing completely covered by the hillside debris.

I was reluctant, stressing how This is able to have an effect on not only our look for rankings, but our conversion rate too. Due to the fact creating the shift, we've experienced many problems. I'm not a supporter of topic centered all inclusive CRM platforms to start with, but with shopify, carrying out any sort of sustainable Web optimization at code amount, seems all but not possible.
Everything Shopify can do to help me with that may be Substantially appreciated. The Package app is considerably handy, but I wander off during the set up on my end on a few of the Kit alternatives/recommendations. My geek capabilities are to the small end.
The theme selection consists of categories like outfits, electronics, food items, toys and much additional. I've experienced my eye on Shopify for fairly a while now, and the organization appears to share new themes on the dependable basis, as well as types are looking A lot more contemporary.
Becoming PCI compliant is vital in the present on the net commerce. So significant that we committed an entire put up to it. For even more looking through you should look into PCI compliance for getting payments on your own e-commerce web-site - what you have to know
It is really completed with the press of the button. After that, you may adjust the purchase of All those sections by dragging and dropping them in the sidebar. It really is a comparatively straightforward technique to completely alter the glance and order in the modules on your web site. We like it for all experience amounts, In particular newbies.
And over the past year, this has was considered one of Shopify's "killer characteristics" that puts them in advance of Substantially of their direct Level of competition.
– the sticker selling price you pay back each month for a certain degree of functions. Shopify's strategies begin with the Lite System at $nine USD a month and go up from more info there. But Take note that the Lite prepare is just for Invest in button sellers. Really, I'd state that Shopify begins at $29/mo and goes up.
Also, Shopify now also offers embedded Oberlo integration if you'd like to go the dropshipping route.
Moreover, Shopify has really invested within their Invest in button. On a single hand, it's a tiny bit perplexing to offer product individual from your website.
I have a merchant account with Authorize.net. I'm considering switching it more than, would this be considered a safer alternative or am I worrying more than absolutely nothing?
So, you could possibly only stay with the handful of actions made available within the dashboard (incorporating an item, customizing the search of your internet site and finding a custom made area,) or you can develop your store with the help of applications and tailor made coding.
I created the point earlier that a pro of Shopify is it seems to be fantastic out with the box, has good personalized themes readily available, and it has the opportunity to be thoroughly tailored by a developer/designer.
One of the principal advantages of Shopify for individuals who have never ever run an online retail outlet ahead of is the website wizard aspect. This will help walk you through the overall set-up means of the location.

In my book, 5 Words and Then Some, I have a section on holidays and I suggest that we try and reflect, at least for a few minutes, what the meaning of those holidays really are. I start with Martin Luther King's birthday and go all the way through to Christmas. Here is what I said in my book about Labor Day:
" These days, I think of all the jobs that are being outsourced to other continents, how medical benefits are being cut, pensions are being eliminated or changed in midstream to the employees' disadvantage, all the layoffs being made to make companies "more profitable," and how the people that are left have to do the work of those who were laid off. I have always believed that you cannot have delighted customers without delighted employees. Take care of your employees, and they will jump through hoops for you. And companies will still make a profit."
Today we have over 20 million workers who are not employed, who are under employed or who have just stopped looking for work. But its not about just any job. How do we create careers and not just jobs. How do we create jobs with a decent salary that you can live on and start a family and raise a family? And that has decent benefits that both the employee and company contribute to? There was a recent study for the National Employment Law Project that said that 60% of all the jobs created since 2008 have hourly wages between $7.69 and 13.83. That's better than not having a job but is that a career?
Well, I have some ideas on how to create some good paying jobs that could result in a career. They deal with our infrastructure and energy. And I have even have some ideas on how to pay for them! That column is coming up shortly. Thanking you for your time, this time, until next time, Regards, FRAN

The Lath Cleaver's Arms: Regent Row
Image reproduced with kind permission of The Regency Society and The James Gray Collection
I have many good memories of the Lath Cleaver's Arms. It was my first ever local and in the late 1950's, and I spent many times in there playing darts and quoits. The pub was situated in Regent Row, a small road behind Marks & Spencer, Western Road. Its entrance was directly opposite the upstairs rear exit from Marks & Spencer. Because of the hidden location, not too many people knew about it, but it had plenty of regulars. There were two bars, one a public bar with the games and a comfortable lounge which was always busy. The pub was run by long term residents Bunny & Freda. They were very popular and for me it was second to none.
A very unusual feature was where the dart board was positioned in a corner, to the left of the board was a phone box. It was very scary coming out of the phone box into the flight path. Darts was very competitive and we could give a good account of ourselves, especially against the quoits players, but at quoits we were well and truly thrashed. One of the regulars was an elderly lady called Ida. She had her own seat at the bar and was always there. One winter there was much snow and we cleared a path across the road from her door to the pub. Great fun!
In the early 60's there were rumours about the possible closure of the pub, and in 1962 Bunny & Freda moved out to the Greyhound at Keymer. Their replacements were Alan & Eileen and they were brilliant. I was there on the last night, and everyone went home very saddened. In December 1963, the pub and all of the adjoining terraced houses were ruthlessly demolished to make way for a large extension to Marks & Spencer. The picture shows that it was well looked after and should never have gone. Greed was a factor, and all of those responsible should have hung their collective heads in shame, but they probably didn't. Regent Row no longer exists and Brighton lost a pub which today would be a gem.
A very ordinary little street with no claim to fame, it had one brief spell when it was exposed to the view of the thousands who thronged Western Road, many of whom probably were unaware that it existed. In 1932, when this photograph was taken several old buildings in Western Road had been removed to provide a site for the new Marks and Spencer's store. Four houses in Regent Row were demolished at the same time.
My grandmother was the land lady here back in the 1920's, her name at the time was Phoebe Hosgood and when she remarried became Smith, I remember a photo of her standing outside holding ,my Uncle Bob.
Two bits of Regent Row do still exist! At the east end where it meets Dyke Road there is a section of the road which turns sharply and then disappears under M&S. The west end needs some exploring, it is to the south of M&S loading bay and customer collection yard. There is a section referred to as 'The Sunken Road' that runs behind the Western Rd shops with a bridge across it into GAP store. When I worked at M&S until 2004 the bridge was a shelter for a homeless man whose 'larder' was the M&S waste food bins!. There are several images of Regent Row in the James Gray Collection of photographs. If you go into Regent Hill and drop down below M&S yard there is a gated alleyway on the west side which is directly opposite what would have been Regent Row; large scale period maps show the two.
Having posted this way back in 2012 I am very pleased to see new additions. Regent Row was very prominent in my young life as I did a paper round which took me along there and up to Upper North Street. In the picture and just behind the pub sign there was an alley which came out near the top of Regent Hill. Halfway up the alley was an art studio where the occupant painted all of the posters for the Princes News Theatre in North St. I spent a lot of time in there watching him produce many images of Tom & Jerry, Donald Duck, Goofy, Tweetie Pie etc. Every time I walked past the Princes I looked at them knowing where they came from. Incidently this was before I was old enough to go in the pub, but I did deliver their paper.
I worked at M&S Western Rd from 1986[when they closed the London Rd branch] until I retired in 2004. Recently I have been doing some research into that area as it is on my route for the Brighton Festival Fringe tours that I do each year. The alley Peter mentions was Regent Court; all of this block behind M&S was known in the 18th/19th century as Chalk Pit Furlong. All of the housing and other developments were located in this large chalk pit from very early on, and it was the only bit of 18th century Brighton that was built up outside the limits of the Old Town basically as an industrial suburb, elements of which survived until the 1960s.

Finding a resting place shouldn't be difficult in a warehouse sized room full of mattresses. The problem is, each one is occupied. I can't help noticing that the ladies here are mostly large of breast and hip, and aged from mid-twenties to quite elderly. The discerning Parasites prefer not to inhabit older humans then?
The splayed limbs and come-hither looks I receive while passing rows of beds are disconcerting. And since appearance does not affect their ability to carry a child, not many of the ladies are passably attractive. My dream of a silk draped harem full of stunning goddesses is summarily squashed. Despite the disappointment, I look forward to getting these pants off. It's very warm in here and I feel the beginnings of a chafing rash.
Lucky stars be praised, I find an empty bed against a window. Before taking ownership I press against the dirty window to view the lava-flow of Creeps moving about below. Those ever-present tendrils, monotonously rechecking Parasite credentials, are almost background noise to me already. Still, the fact that they are absent up here is very comforting.
The sheets on this bed are well used and sitting in other people's body fluids is objectionable, even to a slob like me. Fortuitously one of the 'bedroom's' partitions is a rack filled with curtain material. I drag down a bolt of cloth and drape it across the stains, and then flop down on the crisp floral pattern. Sitting on a soft mattress is heavenly after all my exertions. As my eyes close in pleasure that weird probe extends of its own accord to keep me covered.
Before long the mental strain is too tiring. The tendril retracts and I decide to lie down, just for a few minutes. Removing my boots brings blessed relief for those poor, mistreated toes. I'm pleased to find they are only swollen and bruised, and that none are missing. The gymnastics of squirming out of leather pants and extricating my arms from the jacket exhausts me. I flop back, bone weary, intending to rest for a few minutes. There's no way I'll fall asleep; that would be stupid. I'm in the middle of a Parasite...
...I start awake, mid-snore. A hand that isn't mine is caressing my groin.
"Bloody Hell, Cricket, what the fuck are y... ohhh."
It's not Cricket.
"I'm ready for you."
It's a shame the Parasite mind-fog is the driving force behind those words. I'd like to believe I'm irresistible. I blink up at the woman whose tantalising fingers are wrapped around my increasingly interested penis. Wet hair frames her full-cheeked face. Looking at her face is a fleeting moment before I notice that a nice set of heavy breasts are swinging in front of my nose.
I guess this is the bed's designated tenant. She must have been showering when I chose to crash here. She's returned to find me laid out. Lucky her.
She's attractive, if somewhat worn. Middle-aged and a natural blond too, I see. I push her hand away; discomforted by the circumstances. Where're my jocks? She's stripped them off me while I slept.
"Hey, awww shit. Can't believe I'm saying this, but can you not rub my dick for a moment."
"Are you ready for me then?"
As a matter of fact I most certainly am. I'll never get my jocks on over this erection.
"Oh yeah, I'm definitely ready. Be careful though; you're handling a dangerously backed-up weapon there, lady."
She reclines with my eager help and I'm seconds from docking when the clump of boot-heels comes our way. An unclothed Creep and a bewildered, stark naked, older gent appear at the bed's door gap. Horrified at being caught in such a compromising position I roll over fast, squashing my penis in the process. I groan. For crying out loud, this isn't a peep-show. What do they want?
I remind myself fast that the Creep is expecting to see copulation, and the old boy's mind is fogged, so I attempt to put aside my embarrassment and tackle the task at hand. My new lady-friend has no qualms about performing for an audience. She wrestles me onto my back and then, with some deft fiddling to reinterest the sore appendage, I'm being ridden enthusiastically. The Creep pimp loses interest and moves his client on to find a vacancy further along the rows.
Sure, I should stop her now. After all I'm taking advantage... she's acting under a compulsion. But who am I kidding? There's no force on earth capable of stopping whats rapidly approaching.
Unfortunately, as I whip my head from side to side in ecstasy, I see Cricket. He is standing quietly in a corner, unnoticed until now. I wave a hand violently at him until he about-faces. The bubble joining us together is already giving the whole experience an unsavoury threesome effect. If any fantasies were going to be fulfilled here, I'd call for an extra woman as the third, not a Parasite infected man. And besides, this is the first sex I've had in years and his sad, blank eyes were threatening to ruin it for me.
Post-coitus, about an hour later I lie back, next to a sleeping woman whose name I don't know. I can't help but think 'things could be a lot worse'. Then I cringe as this thought passes through my mind. It will almost definitely bring bad luck my way.
My body is not well rested but several years of horniness are sated which is adequate compensation. An empty stomach grumbles and gurgles to itself. I figure, screw it! If these hazardous surroundings can't hold me back from a right royal rogering then I'm definitely capable of eating.
There's an abundance of cans close at hand. I examine several for suitable content by a candle's light and swiftly accumulate a pile of discards. Lima beans, peas and carrots, beetroot.
A familiar label is eventually exposed. Unpeeling the pull-top lid, I cut chunks of congealed Spaghetti from it using a handy butter knife. I'm starving, and can accept the unheated food as palatable. Admittedly in the past, if nothing else was on offer, I've chowed down on dog food without complaint.
Cricket watches me stuff my face. Our shield blocks his own 'hungry' signal from the Parasites' distributor. Cricket emits an irritating monotone of begging that so far I've managed to ignore. Then our eyes meet and I grudgingly offer him the can, but he's not impressed; he wants raw meat.
I shrug and burp while scraping the last mouthful out, then tidily hide my rubbish in a drawer.
I reach for my pills as habitually as a smoker lighting a cigarette after dinner. The pill container is still disappointingly empty, a catastrophe which leaves me rather too alert. I barely know how to deal with this reality and the immediacy of everything I do. These endorphins I ride, released from several gruelling sessions of sexual congress may tide me over for now, but what will I do when they wear off?
I need a beer. I need Codeine. I need to sleep.
And here's another need that my sex-addicted lady friend neglected to mention. I stink! A shower is in order.
I remember my bed-partner had wet hair and smelled of soap when she'd introduced herself, in the most pleasant of ways. There must be a water source nearby.
To fit in I wander around naked, passing an occasional uninterested Creep who lets me cruise by, and turning away women who are all too interested. The dream-like quality of this experience is so strong I have to remind myself how vulnerable I am. My mental health is in a shocking state. Food and sex have dulled my survival instincts to a murmur. I even start to consider the trade-offs I'd have to make to live here permanently. But then I recount the negatives. No electricity. No alcohol. No pills. Screw that. I have to get out of here!
My search is becoming urgent. Damn, there must be a restroom here somewhere. Eating has initiated an emergency bowel evacuation. I'm approaching gastric Def-Con 4, and there's a little brown bear sticking his head out of my butt-hole. I'm pretty sure it's only a plug for a gusher too.
Where are the toilets!
I'm about to use the nearest corner when the smell of human waste hits me. I run down a short, dark corridor and skid to a stop at the first candle-lit stall; intestinal discomfort is temporarily forgotten. Cricket has trailed me and catches up as I gawp. Together we marvel at the heaped pile of raw shit filling and overflowing from the toilet bowl. The last few additions would have required some interesting acrobatics to stack it that high. It also emits the rankest smell I've ever endured. Except that time I trod in a rotting body.
The next stall is in a similarly revolting condition. Of the other eight cubicles, only one is barely useable. I slam the door in Cricket's face and reverse to partake in a biblical expulsion.
Strangely, while I sit in the miasma, continuing to empty my bowels at an ever-lessening furious rate, I receive a glimpse into the future. These Creeps have no preventative maintenance program. They aren't able to repair the most minor damage to our infrastructure, even when the benefits of doing so are obvious. They use our inventions at their most basic levels. Parasite intelligence is unable to conceptualise how refrigeration or mechanised transportation would assist them. I conclude that they will squat in the ruins of our civilisation, making no attempt to construct one of their own. They are the minions of entropy, winding up the world until the Stone Age is revisited.
Taking my mind from this depressing vision I discover I'm out of toilet paper. Cricket, my ever-loving shadow and imitator, has occupied the cubicle next to mine. He is finishing his own loud, flatulence-powered defecation with no sense of decorum.
"Hey! Cricket. Got any date roll over there?"
I send a mental image and hear him pulling up his pants. I open the toilet door, hoping he's understood, but he stands before me empty-handed.
I know he hasn't wiped, or flushed, and he isn't holding a roll of toilet paper.
"You're a useless prick, you know that?"
There's not a lot I can do about wiping either, but I do flush, and then rush to a basin to wash my hands.
The taps work, if only at piddling pressure. No pumps would still be running so the mall must have a rainwater reservoir system in the roof. The Green craze of years gone by has saved the day for me. I hold the spring loaded handle down and mentally force Cricket to wash his hands as well. He touches me far too much to neglect his hygiene.
Less preoccupied by bodily needs we leave the stinking room. Outside I notice a wet path leading to an employee change room. Hooray, shower stalls. I enter and bang through the lockers until an ex-staff member provides me with liquid soap and shampoo. The water from the shower heads is also unpressurised, and cold, yet marvellously revitalising.
By the time I'm done scrubbing, a large handful of grit coats the floor. I step from the shower stall gleaming; looking for a towel, and making do with a roll of Chux cloth.
While making my way back to the bed I'd commandeered, a slim, nude woman walks towards me in the semi-dark, attracting my interest. Feeling slightly chipper, clean, and in demand, I am unnecessarily flippant.
"Right then, it's back in the saddle is it? Which bed's yours...?"
How embarrassing; it's one of those "special" Creeps, complete with shield and head-hose. These bits hadn't been obvious in the gloom. I clam up as her slack features lock on my face. She stops and I get an uncomfortably long examination.
Stupidly, I panic, and then do something even stupider.
