Quote of the Day: "Most social media is an echo-chamber for immaturity."—Male, 30, MD
Violent video games don't cause violent behavior, according to "one of the most definitive [studies] to date." At a time when several states are considering tacking on extra taxes to violent video games, the Oxford Internet Institute's study found that playing content considered violent did not cause 14-15-year-olds in the U.K. to act more aggressively. The study's co-author says that previous studies have been influenced by "researcher biases" that led to studies that gave "undue weight to the moral panic surrounding video games." (GamesIndustry.biz)
A new rosé brand is winning over Millennials with its Instagrammable bottle. The Wonderful Company, known for brands like Fiji Water and Pistachios, brought a new wine brand to market just in time for Valentine's Day—and it's already outselling their other labels. JNSQ (an acronym for the French phrase "je ne sais quoi") sells rosé and sauvignon blanc that come in glass containers designed to look like retro perfume bottles. Influencers and a national marketing campaign helped propel the brand. (Adweek)
Minecraft for mobile made more money than ever in 2018. According to Sensor Tower, the gaming sensation's mobile version raked in $110 million last year, rising 7% from last year. In addition, 48% of that revenue came from the U.S., followed by just 6.6% from Great Britain. All eyes may be on Fortnite, but the Minecraft Effect still has a hold on young gamers, and Gen Z & Millennials still rank the game as one of their favorites. (Venture Beat)
Nostalgic Millennials can soon set sail on a Golden Girls-themed cruise. The experiential, adults-only cruise will include themed activities like a "One Night in St. Olaf Dance Party," a game of Ugel and Flugel, and a costume contest for fans dressed up as the main characters. There will also be plenty of trivia, bingo, and cheesecake on this five-night experience aboard the Celebrity Infinity. This isn't the only cruise ship catering to adults recently; Virgin's first cruise ship is 18-and-up-only and even has a tattoo parlor on board. (People)
Daquan, the meme account with 12 million followers, is teaming up with All Def Media for a slate of original content. The premium videos will signal a departure from what Daquan is known for: gritty, homemade content that ranges like blurry SpongeBob SquarePants screenshots transformed into memes via clever captions. The new videos will debut across All Def Media and Daquan's social channels, which include Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, IGTV, and YouTube. (Tubefilter)

Despite releasing two full-length cds in the past, I hadnt heard of Deadlock until their recent Lifeforce Records debut, Earth.Revolt. Bassist Thomas Huschka was able to take a few minutes to give us some more information about htis up and coming melodic death act.Wayfaerer-First off, describe Deadlock to someone who hasn't heard the band before.
Tom-Deadlock is a melodic Death Metal Band from Germany. The music is deeply rooted in mid-tempo and the harmonic twin guitars are the typical trademark of Deadlock.
Wayfaerer-Is there any special meaning behind the name Deadlock?
Tom-We chose the name Deadlock because of its economic component, defining an industrial shutdown. We liked the idea of the industry steering into chaos.
Wayfaerer-Earth.Revolt is your 3rd full length release, how would you compare it to your earlier efforts?
Tom-We were able to raise the quality of the new songs to the next level musicalwise. You can recognize a clear development of our songwriting skills. The songs sound straighter and more mature. We still like our old songs, because the experience to write them made it possible to step forward.
Wayfaerer-What was the band's approach to songwriting on this disc?
Tom-We wanted to create a record full of harmonies. We like flowing songs with nice guitar leads. In order to be not too soft we integrate many powerful and aggressive mid-tempo parts. The double bass is maybe the most typical aspect of these. I think these are the most important components of our own style.
Wayfaerer-I've got to say, Earth.Revolt is by far one of my favorite discs of the year. How has the feedback been in general so far?
Tom-It´s a big honour for to be on your favorite-list this year, thanks a lot!
We received fantastic feedback so far. We hoped to get some good reviews, but the amount of really good responses even surprises us. It is great when people actually like what you create.
Wayfaerer-There are a number of different influences one could cite on Earth.Revolt (melodic death, black, etc). Are there any bands that are a major influence for you?
Tom-The musical tastes within the band differ a lot. Almost every band member has his own favourite bands, so there are no single bands as direct influences. But everyone of us of course acknowlegdes the work of other bands and so we are influencedby some bands subconsciously. It is possible that some of these bands are from Sweden I guess.
Wayfaerer-Reading through the lyrics, Earth.Revolt appears to be a bit like a concept album. Is this a correct assumption?
Tom-You are absolutely right. If you read all the lyrics at once you will recognize, they are one big story about a male protagonist. Our vocalist Joe created the whole lyrical concept.
Wayfaerer-Do lyrics play a key role in Deadlock's music?
Tom-The lyrics probably do not play a key role, because the music should speak for itself, but we take them seriously. They are our chance to contact people in a pretty direct way. We make use of the lyric`s possibility to carry our vegan message.
Wayfaerer-As an environmentally conscious person, the lyrics really struck a chord with me. Do you feel there is a solution to our environmental problems or has mankind essentially damned themselves?
Tom-This question is a hard one. There is no one sided answer to the question. Economy is essentially important in every country`s social contract. So every one of us is indirectly dependant on economic security. But we feel there has to be some change or progress. The way economy works today will not guarantee a vital environment for our offspring and their following generations.
Wayfaerer-Getting back to the music, I did some research and discovered keyboardist and vocalist Sabine Weniger is not a full-time member of Deadlock. How do your live shows work?
Tom-Sabine is indeed only a guest musician in the studio, so she is not with us on stage. The keyboards are no problem. Our drummer Tobi plays via click and coordinates the keyboards with his laptop. The voice of Sabine is simply missing live, which is also no problem, because she plays no major role in the new songs, except in the song Awakened by Sirens. We decided not to play that song live.
Wayfaerer-Do you have any live shows planned in the near future?
Tom-We already booked some summer festivals, which have great line ups so far. We are looking forward playing them. We also plan a short Scandinavian tour in October and maybe a bigger tour in fall.
Wayfaerer-Becoming a vegan means giving up a lot of things. What made you decide to live this lifestyle? What does veganism mean to you?
Tom-Veganism is the essential part of every band member`s life. All of us are dedicated to live vegan, so this means everything for us. We think veganism is a fitting solution for the unnecessary exploitation of animals and nature as a whole.
Wayfaerer-What do you guys do outside of Deadlock?
Tom-We are pretty ordinary guys. Our first guitar player works in a hospital, whereas our drummer has set up on his own business and distributes vegan food. Our vocalist works in the managment section of a German icehockey team, and the second giutar player and myself go to university. And we all like playing soccer.
Wayfaerer-What's your favorite cd you've heard this year?
Tom-I already had the chance to listen to some new, yet unreleased songs of the German metal band Fall Of Serenity. Everybody interested in brutal swedish styled Death Metal should give them a try, they are really good and already released some records.
Wayfaerer-Thanks for the interview! Anything else you'd like to mention to the harm.us readers?
Tom-A special thank you goes out to you for making this interview and giving us the opportunity to present ourselves to your audience. We also thank everyone interested in our music. Check out Earth.Revolt!

"Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith."
2 Corinthians 13:5
I often meet people who consider themselves people of faith, meaning their "spiritual," they believe in God, or a god, or a higher power. The interesting thing, though, is that few of them actually know what this faith means or implies or how it changes their life. I've learned that people often talk about some kind of faith but fewer actually live their faith. I want to be the latter.
I want my life to be a life marked by faith. This doesn't make me perfect or even "better." I'm not nearly the man that I want to be or should be or could be. But I do know 1 thing: I have faith in God, and His Son, and His Spirit. I do know that I've been saved and am in the process of transformation (albeit a long and tedious process!). My faith compeles me to continue pushing forward when I feel like I've been spiritually successful as a Christian (see Philippians 3:7-8). My faith compels me to get up when I've stumbled and fallen (see Psalm 37:23-24). My faith compels me to encourage those who, like me, have made their regrettable mistakes but desire to please God nonetheless (see Luke 22:31-32). My faith compels me to prayerfully see this relationship with God through to the end — because He's committed to me (see Psalm 138:8).
What about you? The Bible wants us to test ourselves occasionally. So take this brief test and think about your answers:
- What does your faith mean to you?
- Is it such a serious faith that it guides your life, dictates your decisions, and informs how you see the world around you?
Think of and write down examples to assure yourself that you are where you should be spiritually. After all, if our faith doesn't do these simple things, perhaps it is time to ask how serious our faith really is.

Our Latin Table: A Book Review
Our Latin Table: A Book Review
By Brenda HydeOur Latin Table:
Celebrations, Recipes and Memories
by Fernando Saralegui
176 pages, 8-1/2 x 10
Published by Bulfinch Press
Ordering Information
Our Latin Table is a cookbook with a story. It tells us of family celebrations, holidays and family cooks who made each occasion memorable. It also tells us of their journey to make a home in America when they escaped Cuba and settled in New York. The challenge was keeping their unique customs and mixing them with the things they came to love about America. We can learn so many lessons from the Saralegui family about the importance of family celebrations and the part food plays in our families.
The section entitled "A Latin Pantry" is fantastic. You'll learn of new ingredients and how to incorporate them into your own family cooking. The celebrations are unique and festive, as are the menus throughout the book. I've seen many cookbooks divided into menus that simply didn't convey the reasoning behind the choices. Our Latin Table explains the traditions and history behind the dishes, but in a friendly and fun manner. You won't get bogged down with too much information, but it's not just page after page of menus either. It's a mixture of recipes, tidbits and tips along with pictures that bring the celebrations alive.
I really enjoyed Our Latin Table, and look forward to planning our next unique family celebration using it's ideas!

Ex-Mirror editor Piers Morgan meets with five of America's most notorious female murderers in the second ITV series of Killer Women.
Billed as Morgan's quest to discover just what drives a woman to kill, the first episode sees the Good Morning Britain presenter travel to Lowell Correctional Institution in Florida to meet 49-year-old Rebecca Fenton, who in 2015 was convicted of the murder of her husband Larry.
Fenton called the police in February 2008 to report finding her 57-year-old husband lying dead in a pool of blood at their Clearwater home.
She told detectives she had been exercising in the couple's detached garage at the time of the shooting. She said she heard what sounded like something falling off the roof but didn't check on her husband until later.
Fenton told detectives she kneeled to check for a pulse, but the pool of blood "appeared undisturbed" and she did not have blood on her hands or shoes, according to the indictment.
Investigators say they found a .38-caliber revolver the dead man had purchased inside his wife's car. The revolver contained five spent casings – the same number of bullets that had been fired in their home.
Authorities were later able to determine that the bullets had been fired from the same revolver.
Fenton wasn't charged with the murder until March 2014, after authorities said she had threatened a boyfriend with a knife and told him she would kill him "like she killed her husband."
Fenton insists she had no reason to kill Larry but unless she can clear her name, she will remain in prison for the rest of her life.
As he delves into the case, Morgan discovers a compelling motive for murder: divorce would have meant the end of Fenton's extravagant lifestyle. Yet if Larry died, Fenton would become a rich woman. But, as the lead detective Kerri Spaulding, explains, despite the motive, all the evidence they had was circumstantial.
Morgan meets also Detective Mike Hasty who began working on Fenton's case four years after the murder. Hasty explains he believed Fenton was guilty, but he had to prove it. The break in the case came after Hasty contacted a former boyfriend of Fenton's who testified that she had held a knife to his throat during a domestic dispute.
The show also features a meeting with Fenton's biological mother, who gave up her daughter for adoption when she was a baby, and who reveals that even she believes her daughter to be responsible for Larry's murder.
Morgan is left asking himself whether Fenton is a "cold, calculating murderess" and "the best liar" he has ever met, or innocent and the victim of an appalling miscarriage of justice.
Killer Women with Piers Morgan airs on ITV on Thursday 22 June at 9pm.

On Saturday 21st June from 9.45am to 12pm Pinewoods Conservation Group (PCG) will be holding a charity balsam bash on behalf of Yorkshire Cancer Research. The event will be to raise funds in tribute of Veronica Davenport who was an avid balsam basher and PCG member who sadly passed away from cancer last year.
The day also coincides with Civics Day, a national celebration of civic pride. It is a day when communities across the country say "we care about where we live".
The PCG is therefore encouraging local businesses, schools, youth and voluntary groups to come along, hopefully with sponsorship or donations, to come along and raise much needed funds whilst helping to eradicate Himalayan Balsam. Monies will be collected on the day or can be donated via http://www.justgiving.com/pinewoodsconservationgroup.
Teams or individuals are asked to meet at the Council Nurseries on Nursery Lane, off Harlow Moor Road, Harrogate at 9.45am. There will a prize for the individual and group (max 5 per group) who pull the most amount of balsam.
Himalayan Balsam is a none native plant introduced to Britain by the Victorians in the late 1800s. These plants allow no light onto the ground and as such most of our native wild flowers will cease to exist in these areas. Single plants if left will develop can generate up to 800 new seedlings per yearly.
Eradication of Himalayan Balsam will allow native plants to re colonise and the natural balance of the area will return which in turn will increase insects and wildlife in the area.
If you would like to pre-register your team or would like any further information then please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
More information can be found at http://pinewoodsconservationgroup.org.uk/, http://yorkshirecancerresearch.org.uk/,and http://www.civicvoice.org.uk/campaigns/civic-day/.

As recounted in our daughters' post, our exploration of Colima included a tour of two coffee farms. We learned that volcanic soil, high elevations, and organic growing practices resulted in exceptionally high quality beans. We also experienced coffee prepared the old fashioned way, roasted over an open fire. For Seattle coffee aficionados (some might call us snobs), enjoying cappuccinos while viewing the volcano's changing moods was a treat.
The beans.
The roaster.
The grinder.
The coffee bar.

While Fools should generally take the opinion of Wall Street with a grain of salt, it's not a bad idea to take a closer look at particularly stock-shaking upgrades and downgrades -- just in case their reasoning behind the call makes sense.
What: Shares of Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) slipped 1.5% this morning after UBS downgraded the Internet retail gorilla from buy to neutral.
So what: Along with the downgrade, analyst Eric Sheridan lowered his price target to $375 (from $450), representing about 4% worth of upside to yesterday's close. While contrarians might be attracted to the stock's late-January pullback, Sheridan thinks that Amazon's appreciation prospects remain limited given the surprisingly negative results of its recent consumer survey.
Now what: According to UBS, Amazon's risk/reward trade-off is pretty unattractive at this point. "Our survey results call into question our prior views about the value that a broad set of consumers are applying to the current iteration of Amazon Prime," noted Sheridan. "If Amazon were to raise Prime fees, such a fee increase might need to be accompanied by either a) a higher level of value in the service offering (additional media content, streaming music and/or Fresh (supermarket) offerings) and/or b) an increased level of marketing around the perceived value of Prime to the general public." Of course, with Amazon now off about 15% from its 52-week highs, those concerns might be providing long-term Fools with a high-quality growth opportunity.

It may seem late to be asking this question, given how long we have been talking about it. However, recent conversations with partners in the UK and the USA show that the term is used to mean so many different things that it's a good idea to make it clear exactly what we are talking about when we use the term.
Our definition of what it is, which we share with many leading analysts, can be read on the sales enablement landing page here.
It's a set of disciplines and behaviours that help a company to close more business. Content is a fundamental part of that. Various content technology platforms and individual "point" applications support sales enablement services.
If you are selling product and/or services then it isn't something that you either do or don't do. It's something that you just do better and more of as your focus on it matures (and if you have more resources).

I see you in a tub of champagne grapes
The juice runs down your neck.
The must between your toes
turns to cognac.
I see you in a tossed green salad,
curly frisee, bitter endive, green roquette,
dressed with oil from Sardinia.
my toasted crottin chavignol.
I see you in a wetlands of cattails
In spring I slice the tender root.
In fall I pound the head for flour,
Make cattail pancakes I feed you
So you can taste what I know.

People are afraid of nuts.
Nuts taste good. They are good for you. They do not raise risk of heart disease. In fact they lower it.
Several recent studies looked at this question.
There are several epidemiological studies that have shown positive associations with eating nuts and health. The Seventh Day Adventist Health Study [2] showed that eating nuts more than four times a week protected people from heart attacks. The Nurses' Health Study [3] also found that nut eaters (in this case 5 ounces or more a week) had fewer heart attacks.
Another study, this time in Japan, looked at the effect of adding about 50 grams of walnuts to a typical Japanese diet. Total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol were both lowered eating the nuts. The ratio of good HDL cholesterol to bad LDL cholesterol also improved during this study.[4]
Speaking about nuts, I can't leave out peanuts. 'Too much fat in peanut butter,' people tell me, "I try not to eat peanut butter very often." Well it seems that peanuts are the same story. Adding peanuts to a healthy diet both lowers total cholesterol and increases the relative amount of HDL (GOOD) cholesterol thus reducing heart disease risk.[5] Snacking on peanuts and peanut butter is an effective way to control hunger without leading to weight gain. following a snack of peanuts or peanut butter, participants in one study reported reduced hunger that lasted for two and one-half hours. When fed typical portions of other snacks, hunger returned within 30 minutes. [6]
Peanuts are an excellent source for two valuable phytonutrients: resveratrol [7] and betasitosterol [8] . As you may recall, resveratrol is a chemical found in grape skins and may account for the health benefits of wine. Resveratrol improves cardiovascular health and is currently a hot item in the research and supplement world. "Resveratrol has been shown to modulate the metabolism of lipids, and to inhibit the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins and the aggregation of platelets. Moreover, as phytoestrogen, resveratrol may provide cardiovascular protection. This compound also possesses anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties." [9]
Betasitosterol a kind of plant cholesterol was initially promoted as a cholesterol lowering agent in humans. More recently it has been found useful in treating a wide range of immune disorders especially auto immune problems and is sold as the trademarked product Moducare.
The bottom line here is that nuts are good food. The added fat doesn't equal added pounds and weight gain. The types of oil in nuts decrease risk of heart disease and other nutrients may decrease cancer incidence.
As healthy as nuts are, the following recipes may not necessarily be good for you, but this being the holiday season, perhaps this information will help you rationalize that they are.

Classic Pecan Pie

TAPPISAFE - Finally a standardized approach to safety for the entire industry.
Tissue 101 Properties & Processes Course
TAPPI Connect is your centralized networking & collaboration tool.
Member Spotlight
Keep up with TAPPI's President & CEO - Larry Montague
A self-professed shoe fanatic, Rosy Covarrubias says she has so many in her closet "they would rival Imelda Marcos."
But as much as those high heels, loafers and pumps bring a smile to her face, it's the boxes they come in that really make her day. That's because Rosy is the Technology Director for Packaging and Product Line Management at Buckman International. As such she is responsible for scouting and identifying opportunities for new packaging technologies, promoting development, and managing their introduction into a global marketplace.
She has been with Buckman since 1997, joining the company as a Senior Development Specialist. This was after graduating from the Instituto Technologico de Chihuahua with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering. She later went on to earn her Master's in Business Administration from the University of Phoenix, and then a Project Management Certification from Western Carolina University.
Rosy's initial introduction to the P&P industry was an intern for a paper company in Mexico, but at the time it just didn't feel like the proper fit. It wasn't until after she moved to the United States and accepted a position with Buckman that she found her career niche. Within a year she had joined TAPPI, having been encouraged to do so, like countless others in the industry, by a colleague who strongly recommended its networking and growth opportunities.
Over the last 17 years, she hasn't been disappointed. "I've built a strong network and made many friends through my involvement on TAPPI committees and divisions," she said. She is particularly enthusiastic about the role she played in the last two PaperCon's, serving as the technical chair for the papermakers program. "Getting actively involved benefits all members, but I especially encourage young engineers and scientists. It is the best way to get to know the industry, its challenges, and many new technology developments."
And while she takes her hat off to, and buys her shoes in boxes, Rosy hesitantly admits she still has a strong bias for book and magazine grade paper. But, no worries, Rosy. Your secret's safe with us. After all, sometimes it's good to think outside the box.
Q. Why did you decide to join TAPPI?A.It was recommended by a co-worker as a good opportunity to meet people in the industry and build a working network.
Q. Please describe your involvement with TAPPI over the years.A. . I served a six-year rotation in the Additives committee and I am currently serving in the Paper and Board Division rotation. I am the current chair for the Division. I have volunteered as a track manager for PaperCon and was the technical chair for the papermakers program during PaperCon 2013 and 2014.
Q. How has TAPPI helped you in your career pursuits?A.TAPPI has provided me with many professional and personal relationships of all the industry associations. I have had many opportunities to get to know individuals and how their companies have served and changed our industry over the years. One of the most rewarding experiences throughout my professional career was having the opportunity to play a role putting together two very successful TAPPI conferences: PaperCon 2013 and 2014. In addition, TAPPI has offered me valuable opportunities to give back to the industry by presenting papers, writing technical articles, and assisting in short courses.
Q. Tell us about some of your interests outside of TAPPI and your professional life.A.I am an avid scuba diver, I love hiking (that's Rosy pictured at right hiking Copper Canyon in Chihuahua, Mexico), I play soccer, I love photography, and I enjoy reading.
Q. Can you share a unique or fun fact about yourself?A.I am a shoe fanatic … I have almost as many shoes in my closet as Imelda Marcos.
Q. TAPPI's 100-year anniversary is in 2015. Would you provide a few thoughts on what you believe have been the most significant contributions/breakthroughs in areas of our industry? Also, what is your favorite paper or packaging product?A. From Buckman's perspective, they changed the industry by being pioneers in the use of microbicides in the paper industry. That was a big breakthrough that came many years ago. In the last decade, the most significant contributions by many companies have been focused on sustainability. The industry's move into sustainability has had a big impact on how we think about chemistries and fiber utilization. Buckman has twice been awarded the U.S. EPA Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award, in 2004 and again in 2012, both for groundbreaking innovations in the application of enzymes. Enzymes are having a significant impact on the industry, and we continue to invest significant resources to develop new applications of this greener approach to papermaking. As to my favorite paper product that is a challenge. I am still old fashioned. I love reading anything on paper, so I will have to go with book and magazine grades, even though my focus in on packaging.
Q. Closing sentiments?A.I started in this industry in Chihuahua, Mexico as an intern for Papelera de Chihuahua and I never thought I would stay in the industry, but I guess faith happened and I move to the USA and started working for Buckman. From there I was encouraged to join TAPPI. As I mentioned earlier, the networking has been most valuable both professionally and personally for me, and that has been enhanced by committee participation and getting involved with the organization. I would highly recommend TAPPI to all professionals in the paper industry, but especially to young engineers and scientists as TAPPI provides a forum to learn about industry changes, challenges, new technology development, and more. It truly benefits those that participate.

Speeding Cost Us All
In 2011 there were more than 59,000 collisions in the Capital Region resulting in 48 fatalities and more than 8,000 injuries. In other words, 1 person killed every 7.6 days and 22 people injured every day on our Capital Region roads. Most of these collisions were preventable. One in every four collisions, or 28 per cent, involves driving at a speed that is unsafe for the road conditions.
Speed Increases Stopping Distance
Speed determines the severity of a collision and it is literally a matter of life and death. A study from Australia found the risk of dying in a crash approximately doubles for each 5 km/h increase in speed. For pedestrians speed is particularly lethal. If hit by a vehicle travelling at 60 km/h the pedestrian has a 90 per cent chance of being killed*.
The High Cost of Speeding
Crashes in the Capital Region cost nearly $1 billion annually.
Motor vehicle collisions are expensive to Alberta taxpayers. According to a 2010 CRISP commissioned Collision Cost Study it is estimated that each fatal collision costs about $180,000 and an injury collision costs almost $40,000. And that's just the cost in dollars alone. While we can add up the amount for emergency response, health care services and property damage, other costs are harder to quantify. How do you measure the cost when a promising future is cut short.
Consider these costs when you choose to speed. Collisions do carry a heafty price tag.
Collision Cost Study (PDF)
- Reduces your ability to steer around obstructions or curves;
- Extends both your reaction time as well as the distance required to stop your vehicle;
- Reduces your ability to stop for red lights and stop signs;
- Decreases your field of vision and peripheral vision;
- Increases your chance of losing control of the vehicle;
- Reduces effectiveness of seat belts, airbags and side impact beams;
- Causes brakes, tires, steering and suspension to become less effective;
- Reduces the effectiveness of roadside hardware such as barriers, crash cushions and bridge rails.

I was just thinking back to the "good ol' days" of a simpler time. It was during the summer of 1954, on a midweek afternoon. My mother walked across the street from our sunny house in the Midwest to where I was playing with my friend Linda in her sandbox. Naturally, it was hot. But Linda and I didn't mind the heat and we could always find a little shade.
My mother was going to run an errand downtown. "Want to go with me?" my mother asked.
"Sure!" I hopped up to head home, waving to Linda.
As I reached my mother, she smiled and added, "But first, of course, you need to put on a dress and some sandals."
Not the details that a little girl welcomed, but having to endure a dress on a hot day was worth the trouble, just to get to go.
It was always fun to visit the downtown section of our little town. The blocks filled with stores always seemed to be bustling and the experience was a special treat. Our town had a Kresge's, a Woolworth's and other dime stores with plenty of fascinating yet affordable things. Going into a store was wonderful.
My family had lived in the little down of about 16,000 for several generations, so the chances were good that on nearly every visit my mother would encounter someone that she knew. Going downtown was so special that most people cared about their appearance just in case they ran into an old friend.
I remember standing quietly in stores while my mother chatted with an acquaintance or two. Conversations usually included a quick update of medical conditions, how life was going in general and discussions about other local happenings. It was a simple time, an uncomplicated life complete with a sense of serenity.
Of course, the 1950s in general had a certain social dignity. Men and women both wore hats, a fashion must that required attention and upkeep. Women also wore gloves. People cared about their appearance and, most importantly, cared about how they were perceived.
I don't mean that everyone dressed in the latest fashions but they made an effort. The two key phrases here are: made an effort and dignity. These two phrases are non-existent today.
I underwent a horrible experience earlier today: I shopped at a large, well-known discount store. I venture into that particular store no more than about four times a year, only if I am seeking a product available nowhere else. Many years ago, I was less hesitant to shop at the same store. In those days, I appreciated its diversification of products and its low cost. I was fairly certain that if I went there to find an item, the store would have it and at a reasonable price.
Well, things have really changed.
The vast majority of shoppers that I saw today were dressed in a style that would be considered inappropriate for taking out the garbage. The crowd contained a number of corpulent shoppers attired in shorts with huge rolls of flesh visible. They apparently made no attempt to find a larger size or select something that covered important portions of their bodies. Sorry to say, most of these people folks were women. They made absolutely no effort to wash, tuck or otherwise disguise their misery. They screamed at their children who ran uncontrolled through the aisles, darting directly in front of folks who had to use diversion to avoid tripping.
Do people today have no dignity? Apparently not. That's confirmed by watching reality TV and news interviews with the so-called regular people on the street. The fact that dignity is gone from TV is a true reflection of the fact that it is gone from our civilization.
Do people no longer make an effort about their appearance? Absolutely not. In the Midwest, people joke that in a nearby community, well-dressed means having your teeth in. A sad but true comment. Deodorant is rather inexpensive. Here's an idea: buy some and use it. That doesn't mean you have to SHOWER, although that would be nice and might make you feel better. But at least control the stench of your unwashed body.
The morning newspaper comes with a rubber band around it. Even if you don't get the newspaper and even if you can't read, there are likely rubber bands on the ground or elsewhere to be found. Take a rubber band, comb your long, greasy hair with your fingers and apply the rubber band. I'm not asking for fashion mavens here. Just a little effort and a smudge of dignity.
Does it seem like my expectations are too high?

Keira Knightly Chews The FatTuesday, September 18th, 2007
In an interview with Female First, Keira Knightly talks, again (for the zillionth time), about her weight related issues:
"Weight is a big issue in Hollywood because I'm twice the size – height and everything else – of most of the girls who are going in to see the director for a part. When you realise that I am, at my size, one of the largest actresses there, you start to think, 'I don't think it'd be healthy for me to stay here much longer.' "
I think I can speak for 99.4% of heteronormative males and 92.5% of heteronormative females when I say that it matters not a whit whether Keira is regarded as too fat or too thin, that's between Keira and her scale. What matters is that lack of nudity she has portrayed in movies. Enough of the weight talk, start showing some of those pointed bones you have protruding from your emaciated body. If I wanted to hear women yammering on about weight I'd throw a Jenny Craig party. Less talkie, more nudie.

Keira Knightley-The Sexiest Woman in the WorldThursday, April 27th, 2006
British readers of FHM magazine have voted Keira Knightley the Sexiest woman in the world:
LONDON (Reuters) – British actress Keira Knightley was voted the world's sexiest woman in a magazine poll on Thursday, beating model Keeley Hazel and Hollywood star Scarlett Johansson into second and third place respectively.
The poll, which British magazine FHM said was based on two million votes, saw homegrown model and TV presenter Kelly Brook slip to 5th from first last year, while Angelina Jolie, expecting a baby in mid-May, came fourth.
Keep in mind, when it comes to taste, the British like chow down on blood pudding.
Keira Knightley is sexy, she's even hot, but to say that she's the sexiest woman in the universe is quite a stretch. I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but what if the beholders of beauty happen to be 2 million partially blind British wankers?
Jessica Simpson and Jessica Alba aren't even in the top 5. Wut up wit dat?
I think it's time for the The Mayor's Top Ten Sexiest Women in the Universe, 2006 edition, to be revealed. Give me a few weeks, I'll show you what the hell sexy really means.
Keira Knightley Regrets Not Being a SlutWednesday, April 19th, 2006
Keira Knightley tells Sky Showbiz that she wishes her fame would have come later in life, giving her an opportunity to sleep around with more men. And Keira isn't the only one that had that wish:
"My father says, 'I wish this had happened in five years' time, you could have been 20 and got really pissed and slept with loads of people and no one would have known'.
"That would have been great," she concluded.
My father had similar thoughts after my sister received a promotion to become the assistant to the assistant manager of the Yarn Barn. He said, "Rachel, it's too bad you didn't get this promotion 5 years from now, then I would have been able to whore you out to foreigners for fivers and 20 packs of maple donuts.".
It's no wonder that the planet earth is in such good shape, and we owe it all to caring fathers like Keira's dad.
It's never too late to become a whore, Keira, phone me tonight at The Manor

Uncustomary in the SCA, The motto plays a significant roll in modern heraldry.
A motto is an aphorism, the interpritation of which is often obscure but may allude to a name, a charge in the arms, to the crest or some event in the family's history: TOUCH NOT THE CAT BOT A GLOVE (refering to the cat of The Mackintosh) and I SAVED THE KING (Turnbull), for example.
In Scotland, the slogan is depicted on a scroll above the crest, on the circlet of the crest badge and, if there is more than one motto, on an additional scroll beneath the shield. In England mottoes are usually depicted on a scroll beneath the shield. Wereas

The application and effect of binders used in coal briquettes production line
In the whole industry, in addition to the desulfurization gypsum briquette press, press the
briquettes does not need to add any adhesive, forming, and the briquettes rate of more than 95% .
Like other materials: mineral powder, coal, clay, iron, aluminum, iron, coke, iron oxide, carbon
powder, carbon powder, slag, gypsum, tailings, sludge, kaolin, activated carbon, coke powder and
other powder, waste, and so on, there is a need to add most of binder. Below I will introduce
briquette press machine which use adhesive and its effect.
(adhesive to briquette press machine used for quasi introduction)
The adhesive is an important part of briquette made not a ready-made panacea, is not immutable and
frozen, changes with the composition of coal and adjust and improve the matching technology. To
grasp several principles:
1,Stability and composition of coal in coal:
2,Standard for quality of adhesive components and materials (content, moisture, fineness);
3,Binder ratio, fluidity and permeability of binder;
4,The influence of the preparation process, stirring mode, stirring time and stirring temperature
on the molecular chain of the adhesive.
5,The relationship between the proportion of binder and the proportion of adding method and raw
Bentonite reasonable use (three two aluminum oxide, silicon dioxide).
1, according to the characteristics of coal gas indexes, at present generally used humate adhesive.
1) the humic acid binder has a strong affinity to the pulverized coal through physical and chemical
2) high surface activity, inclusion, permeability strong.
3) reaction activity, improving the coal in the furnace combustion reaction, gas composition, gas
generation and consumption. To improve the combustion process of coal in the gasification reaction
rate and gas conversion efficiency.
2, composition and proportion of raw coal: as the content, moisture, ash melting point, volatile
and physicochemical indexes, is generally a liquid binder and powder additive 1:10:50.
However, 10 of the ratio is the content of lignite humic acid, rather than the number of lignite.
3, preparation process:
1)lignite humic acid content general requirements 40-50%.
2)into 100--120 to improve the fineness, wetting force, expansion force, seepage force.
3)after the water into the reactor, heated to 40 degrees, adding sodium hydroxide, stir well,
continue to heat up to 90 degrees, add humic acid, stirring for 1.5 - 2 hours, the temperature is
not more than 95 degrees.
4)add ratio: about 5%.
5)add: metering valve and spiral powder quantitative feeder, accurate measurement.

The Wives
Mates of the Volturi leaders. The wives are also powerful figures of authority and core members of the coven, but they only go on trials with their husbands on behalf of extremely important matters, not leaving their tower in Volterra but once every few centuries. Since then, the wives became virtual prisoners in their tower. To keep them happy and content, Aro sent Corin to keep them company, using her power of being able to provide people with an addictive contentment. The wives are well protected in their tower. Aro's sister and Marcus's wife, Didyme, was one of the core members before she was killed. If the wives are taken to witness the coven's actions, they are usually very heavily guarded as well (from http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Volturi).
Sulpicia - Aro's Wife
Sulpicia: Aro's mate. Aro created her, because he wanted to make a mate instead of finding one in order to avoid complications. She is completely loyal to him - @TheSulpiciaV
Athenodora - Caius' Wife
Athenodora: Caius's mate. She has been part of the coven since before they rose to power - @DoraOfVolterra
Didyme - Marcus' Late Wife
Didyme was Marcus' wife and sister to Aro. Without Marcus' knowledge, Aro killed his sister to make certain that Marcus remains in the Volturi. She has the ability to make someone extremely happy.
The Secretaries
The Volturi secretaries are both human. The first and original secretary that was in both book and movie was Gianna. However, in Breaking Dawn Part One 'the movie', an additional character that was not mentioned in the book was added as the secretary (Bianca). They were both killed by the Volturi.
Gianna Di Morelli
Gianna: She was the Volturi's human secretary who appeared only in New Moon. She had hoped to become a vampire, but in the end the Volturi found her nothing more valuable than her blood - @DivineGianna
Bianca: She was the Volturi's human secretary after Gianna's disposal, and only appeared at the end of the first Breaking Dawn movie. Because of her bad spelling and grammar, Aro had her disposed of.

When you enter an upscale grocery store or posh farmer's market,
you expect to see the finest produce and the highest-quality foods.
Shopping in one of these establishments can be a pleasant
experience, as they are usually well-appointed, attractively lit,
and have helpful staff. As good as that shopping experience may be,
nothing compares to the joy in finding the most delicious items in
unexpected places.
The bargain-hunter in me delights in discovering a high-quality
yet inexpensive dark chocolate bar in a discount grocery store. A similar feeling
arises when one enjoys a delicious meal in a place you least expect
it. Believe it or not, but Food & Wine says that
some of the best sushi in the U.S. can be found in an airport terminal. I've never
eaten there, but the best sushi I ever had was in an equally
unassuming spot, a tiny joint on a dead-end street near a
vocational school. Looking at the restaurant from the outside, you
would never imagine the quality and freshness of the food found
And of course you can become giddy when you stumble on a
gorgeous cookbook in a thrift shop or find a twee vintage casserole
dish at a roadside flea market. The joy intensifies in inverse
proportion to the price tag. Sometimes I wonder if the seller
doesn't know what they have or if it just doesn't hold the same
appeal for them. Either way, I'm happy to take it off their hands.
What's your favorite unexpected food discovery?
Walgreen's has a decent dark chocolate section, sometimes with great deals you don't see at the grocery store. One day the expensive Ghiradelli dark chocolate bars were on sale plus they had a pad of coupons, buy 2 get one free!. Big Lots also has some interesting and inexpensive treats.
It's not a food discovery, but I bought the most amazing double decker wicker woven pie carrier for about $20 (with leather handles and a darling wooden table that sits over the first pie and holds the second pie) and a matching lunch bucket ($14) from two young Amish girls sitting by their wares in a carriage on the side of a road in Missouri. Each piece was signed and dated by the makers and I get raves whenever people see them. And I remember that special day every time I use them.
Aldi's has German chocolate that is better than what you find in other groceries.
I have had excellent sushi at an airport - but it was at Narita (Tokyo).
Cost Plus World Market doesn't get enough love for their gourmet department. They have amazing sales and coupons and you can get hard-to-find ingredients for 50% off!
I'll second the Big Lots comment. I have found a number of international cookies, pastas, & Bob's Red Mill products for quite a bit of a discount. Woohoo!
Smokeydoke - I have a World Market near me and I was really impressed with their range of international ingredients when I visited for the first time before Christmas. Where do you get the coupons?
oooh, watched the video. Glad sushi can be found at Newark but I had to turn it off when I saw a person dunk the whole piece of makizushi into a deep bowl of soy sauce and what came out was soy sauce soaked rice. I also agree that Cost Plus is a fun place to find interesting things. Good prices too.
World Market is magical. Join the World Explorer program and they will text you coupons, which are excellent discounts and $10 off for every $200 you spend. The glühwein and lebkuchen at Christmas are straight out of German Christmas markets.
TY for the tip EmilyR. I have a store very close to me but never checked their online store. I belong to their program and get good deal on wines sometimes.
I have gotten some interesting and low priced things from Marshalls in the past, but I have not found anything I want lately. The best was some kind of gator ketchup from Australia! Will try the World Market suggestion, since I moved recently and now have one within reach.
I've purchased some very fine cookbooks at our local thrift store (Marsala Hazan's Essensial Italian, Ottolenghi's Plenty, and Martha Stewart's Cakes, among others) for $3.99 CAN. I also picked up a Staub Dutch oven for $30 CAN. Love thrift shopping!

Designing a game logo is a tough task. Tougher still when you have no experience.
Let me be clear, THIS IS NOT A TUTORIAL!
From bad to okay and beyond.
Last year a big part of getting greenlit was the attempt at looking somewhat legit. We had an eye catching game with cool gifs and images, but no logo, and we needed one STAT! The result was a logo pumped out with little to no research over the course of a week. What we got was a crappy logo for a crappy game, we stuck with it for a while.
It wasn't until we decided to go to PAX Australia that we looked at the logo with a more critical eye. "Can we get away with such a bad logo?" We asked ourselves...
The answer was no.
A lot of though was put in to what we wanted to logo to look like. It had to be something with a stronger tie to the game we wanted people to play. It had to be something worthy of the final product and that we were all proud of. But most of all, it had to eye catching.
A lot of reference was taken from Japanese pop culture, especially that of manga and anime's that have done particularly well in the west (i.e bleach, Naruto, etc) and just like our game, the logo was restricted to three colors. It had to show a certain edginess to represent the violence and gory nature of our game, but also a certain spiritual aspect to represent the lore and setting.
Hot Tip #1
Below are the majority of concepts made before sticking to one idea. The creation of the logo actually helped cement some of the lore, as we wanted imagery that had a strong connection to the game. It forced us to answer questions and make decisions that helped create a rich lore and story.
The concept doodles for the logo have unfortunately been lost, so while this isn't all the concepting done, you can see that we had a fair few different ideas. A pole was set up to take the advice or opinions of our friends and lecturers. All very professional. The general consensus from the 15 participants;
8 and 9 are fine, 6 and 10 try again.
Hot Tip #2
Keeping the past mistakes in mind, it wasn't to hard to grab a few elements from concepts we liked the most and kinda just mold the final logo. It was just a matter of polish, and after a week of tweaking and slight adjustments we had something.
