The American Sociological Association (ASA) filed an amicus curiae brief yesterday with the Supreme Court of the United States in the same-sex marriage cases currently pending before the court. The ASA's brief highlights the social science consensus that children raised by same-sex parents fare just as well as children raised by different-sex parents.
With the Supreme Court of the United States expected to rule imminently in the case of Obergefell v. Hodges, which addresses the matter of marriage equality and the constitutional status of state bans on same-sex marriage, the American Sociological Association (ASA) has a number of sociologists available to discuss same-sex marriage.
Protests that bring many people to the streets who agree among themselves and have a single message are most likely to influence elected officials, suggests a new study.
"We found that features of a protest can alter the calculations of politicians and how they view an issue," said Ruud Wouters, an assistant professor of political communication and journalism at the University of Amsterdam and the lead author of the study. "More specifically, the number of participants and unity are the characteristics of a protest that have the greatest ability to change politicians' opinions."
Features include "Wedding Cake Woes", "Serial Killers and Sex Workers", "Mental Health and Police Killings", and "Truth-Spots."

Anyway, after rolling the quilt up, I tie it keep the roll together, and then slide it into a bag I made to keep the dust off. The photograph below shows the quilt in the bag. I make the bags from light-weight, "slidey" fabric so it goes easily over the cotton fabric of the quilt.
Then I prop the whole thing up in the back of a closet. I think it works pretty well. I actually first learned to roll my quilts face out during a class from Hollis Chatelain. I guess if it's good enough for her, it's good enough for me!

Voices In Harmony (KPM Music Library, 180g) Vinyl LP
↳ groovy, soulful harmony driven library monster from '73
"A selection of contemporary pop titles featuring voices, brass and rhythm" is the original blurb found at the rear of this seminal library LP originally released in 1973 on KPM Music Library. While this relatively simple and dry synopsis is technically true, the music on Voices In Harmony is anything but dry. Featuring killer soul-funk, sweet jazz bossa and fuzz-up guitar licks, this album (one in a series of ten KPM records reissued by Be With Records) is smooth, warm, string-laced harmonious soul. Originally composed and pressed in extremely small quantities to be released as ready made cuts for television and radio, reissues of library records have surged in the in the past 5-10 years as original copies are getting pricier and hen's-teeth hard to find. Remastered from the original analog master tapes, the KPM 1000 Series records are finally seeing a proper reissue. Key tracks on this release include 'Ode to a Rock Opera' opening with a bass driven drum break, 'Roller Coaster' (which starts like a pop beat but then cuts into an almost hip-hop groove with shredding organ licks), the Bossa-themed 'Husky Birdsong' and 'Liquid Sunshine' sampled most recently by Logic. 15 tracks in all, released by Be With Records. Recommended.

- remastered from the original analog tapes

Cuisines from Global Coastlines
Amara, the all diner at The Trident Hotel, is currently hosting a festival titled Coast to Coast – celebrating the cuisines of global coastlines.
Here are my reasons why you must visit:
If you like seafood, this festival has plenty to offer – from oysters at a seafood bar to the Hawaiian Salmon Tartare and the shrimp cocktail for starters. The Bengali Doi Mach — fish cooked in yoghurt to Kerala Fried Fish, plus grilled seafood at the live grill counter leave you spoilt for choice.
For sheer range of tastes – from the flavourful Gulf Coast Seafood Stew to the Phuket Chicken Massaman Curry, Islander's Goat Curry, Sicilian Port's Caponate, Goan Lamb Xacuti and Mangalorean Kombdi ka Rassa — there are enough options for everyone. Vegetarian dishes like the Pad Thai and Oriental Vegetable Stir Fry plus the Lebanese Mezze Bar and other staples like Baghare Baingan, Paneer Methi Malai, Dhaba Dal etc. — while not coastal, are part of the buffet's spread on offer. There is also a choice of biryanis – vegetable, chicken and mutton.
The presentation of the Shrimp Cocktail and the Caribbean Jerk Spiced Chicken with Pickled Onions and Cornichon make you want to forget your diet for the evening. There was even a Thanksgiving turkey, grilled to perfection with the accompanying sauce and boiled vegetables.
The Crème Brulee – my pick of desserts of the evening. Whatever you gorge on, leave some space to finish with this one. Truly delicious.
The festival is on for dinner till the end of this month at Amara.
For reservations call: 040 6623 2323
Brunch at Amara
Every time I hear the word brunch, it conjures up images of a long lunch with a good glass of wine or a chilled beer and options from various cuisines. The relaxed ambience and the pace at which one can eat makes for an ideal Sunday. The Trident Hotel recently launched its Sparkling Sunday Brunch… Continue reading Brunch at Amara

Procrastinating plumbing problems can be disastrous, so don't hesitate to get started. Our certified plumbers have an excellent reputation for being clean, respectful and highly skilled.
See what our past customers in Claremont Meadows, NSW have to say on our reviews and feedback page, and schedule an appointment with Rapid Plumbing Group Pty Ltd today!

- No hassle, free estimates
- Experts on call for 24/7 emergency service
- Specialists with over 30 years of experience

Need Hot Water, and Fast? Call Rapid!
A hot water system is one of the main devices that allows daily functioning to proceed. Without hot water, it would be impossible for a family to wash their clothes, take comfortable showers, and clean dishes to a sanitary standard that will not cause anyone to get sick.
Without a hot water unit, none of this would be able to happen because there would be no way to warm the cold water that is provided from the main water supply. Our technicians can provide you with efficient services to ensure that your unit is always in the best condition possible.
Call Us for Blocked Drain Repair
Blocked drains are exceedingly frustrating because they cause a huge part of the plumbing system to malfunction. A blocked toilet cannot be flushed without spewing water all over the floor. A blocked sink cannot be used to wash dishes because the sink would overflow. A blocked bathtub will cause a person taking a shower to have to stand in dirty water, pretty much making the shower completely pointless.
Blocked drains will reduce the efficiency of a home and increase the amount of standing water, which will increase the production of mold spores and other allergens. By calling a professional to unblock the drains, the functioning of the toilet, sink, or tub can be restored. We can help make your blocked drains a thing of the past with our efficient drain cleaning solutions!
Don't DIY Your Gas Fittings
When it comes to the gas fittings in your home, hiring a professional is critical as improperly installed parts can lead to serious dangers in your home. The fittings that are purchased need to match the lines exactly, otherwise, the gas and other unwanted substances will leak out.
The fittings also need to be the correct size in order to ensure that the seal is maintained. Our professionals will also be able to install the gas fittings properly and securely. This will ensure that the job is completed and that the gas is available for use faster.
Commercial and Strata Plumbing
It is very important for a building to have a mandated plumber in order to ensure that there is a trustworthy person available in an emergency. During a plumbing emergency, damage can quickly occur if not repaired immediately. With the use of our expert strata services, you can have the peace of mind that comes from reliable and long lasting repair, installation, and maintenance services.
Other Services We Provide Include:
- Emergency Plumbing
- Blocked Drain Services

Summer has come and gone, bringing with it new colours, tastes and a brand new seasonal menu at award-winning Chinese dining institution Above & Beyond. Promising a sophisticated dining experience with a stunning panoramic view of Hong Kong, Executive Chef Paul Tsui has created new Chinese dishes that bring to mind all the richness and warmth of the autumn months. Available from 12 September, 2016 onwards, the new menu draws on seasonal ingredients to please educated diners searching for the best that Hong Kong has to offer.
Chef Paul Tsui looked to Hong Kong's celebration of contrasts for inspiration for his new dishes, which play on a mixture of classic and unconventional ingredients. Starting off with the Deep-fried Oyster served with green mango and pomelo, the bright citrus highlights the crispy oysters, garnished with shrimp for added flavour. The Stir-fried Prawns with termite mushrooms brings the ocean to the mountains, with the unusual addition of termite mushrooms for a memorable plate that ends with a slightly spicy finish. The Steamed Crab Claw with egg white and Hua Diao wine uses traditional Chinese wine to add richness to the smooth egg white and steamed shellfish delicacy. The Stir-fried Giant Garoupa with black truffle, a Hong Kong favourite, welcomes all guests to the new menu, especially when paired with a carefully-selected bottle from the restaurant's extensive wine list.
Highlight dishes from the menu include:
Deep-fried Oyster served with Pomelo and Green Mango
Stir-fried Prawns with Termite Mushroom
Steamed Crab Claw with Egg White and Hua Diao Wine
Stir-fried Giant Garoupa Fillet with Black Truffle

Qaeda militant gets death penalty over US firm attack in Saudi
RIYADH - A Saudi court has sentenced to death an Al-Qaeda militant and jailed 10 others over a May 2004 attack that killed six Westerners and a policeman, state media reported.
The defendants, seven of whom are brothers, were convicted of aiding assailants who attacked a US company in the northwestern port town of Yanbu, killing two Americans, two Britons, an Australian and a Canadian, as well as a Saudi, SPA news agency said late Sunday.
The defendant who was sentenced to death was convicted of making explosives used in the attack and receiving training by a member of the group who was killed in the assault, SPA reported.
The others were sentenced to between 3 and 12 years in prison.
SPA did not name any of the defendants who were also charged with sheltering one of the assailants, possessing weapons, and financing the attack, among other charges.
The trial opened in May 2011 and involved four other militants who had been killed in the operation.
A wave of deadly Al-Qaeda attacks in the kingdom between 2003 and 2006 prompted authorities to launch a crackdown on the local branch of the group founded by Saudi-born Osama bin Laden, who was killed in a US commando operation in May 2011.
This had prompted many of the network's militants to shift base to neighbouring Yemen.
The merged franchise they formed, Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, is regarded by Washington as the jihadist network's most dangerous branch.
The kingdom began in July 2011 a series of prosecutions for alleged offences committed between 2003 and 2006.

Massachusetts residents will be very familiar with the new operating system running state government come January.
Governor Charlie Baker version 2.0 will look a whole lot like Governor Charlie Baker version 1.0, he pledged Thursday, nine days after winning a resounding reelection victory.
The Republican said his constituents appreciate his "no muss, no fuss" governing style, and that his "respectful and detail-oriented approach" will continue.
If Baker, emboldened by his runaway win, is considering embracing a more, well, Republican agenda, there was no evidence of it Thursday. His ideological bent seemed anchored in carefully steering the state in its current lane rather than tacking to the right.
"The big message from the voters is constructive friction, fiscal discipline, bipartisanship works," he said. "We heard that message loud and clear."
In a wide-ranging interview with the Globe, Baker offered long, wonkish answers about moving Massachusetts forward peppered with acronyms. At one point, he leapt up from his chair to draw two line graphs about the budget on a whiteboard.
Baker expounded about fighting climate change; the power of courts to hold some of President Trump's policies at bay; and doubling down on his efforts to fight the scourge of opioid addiction.
He also weighed in on his own internal state party politics, where there could be a brewing fight over whether the Massachusetts GOP keeps its middle-of-the-road leadership, or lurches to the right. Kirsten Hughes, the GOP's longtime chair, said this week she's still weighing whether to seek a fourth, two-year term at the same time the more conservative Geoff Diehl, the former US Senate candidate and supporter of Trump, says he's considering a bid for the seat.
Hughes got a glowing endorsement Thursday from Baker, who lauded her dual role as party chair and local official — she's a Quincy city councilor — and he defended the party's Election Day losses in the Legislature under her watch.
"If someone were to have said we were going to have 2.7 million people vote in the midterms at a point in time in Massachusetts when the president has an unfavorability rating north of 60 percent, most people would have expected that to be a pretty tough day for the Republicans," Baker said, adding, "I think we did OK."
The titular state party head, Baker sidestepped a question of whether Diehl's right-wing credentials are too conservative for GOP leadership. "I'm a big Kirsten fan," he responded.
Baker's plan to politically navigate Massachusetts' blue waters as a Republican doesn't appear primed for a course-change, either. A sometimes-critic of the president, he continued to show little appetite for involving himself in national political affairs outside of when Massachusetts' interests are involved.
At a time when Trump is challenging a host of constitutional norms — this week, for example, he asserted he has "broad discretion" over what journalists are allowed access to the White House — Baker said he has confidence in the judicial branch to serve as a check.
"The courts have had no trouble over the course of the past couple of years saying no to the president on a whole variety of things if they felt what he was proposing to do did not pass constitutional muster," Baker said.
The Swampscott Republican has repeatedly said there's more work to do in battling the state's opioid crisis, but many of his stated priorities Thursday were extensions of plans he's already floated or signed.
He said that he wants to funnel more cash toward local police departments for investigating fentanyl trafficking. (He filed a bill last month on this). And he touted his push toward credentialing recovery coaches. (He signed an omnibus bill in August that moves toward that.)
"Our biggest problem at this point really is creating what I would describe as support for people on recovery on a long-term basis," Baker said Thursday.
A similar theme emerged on climate change, where Baker cheered ongoing mitigation planning at the local level, acclaimed the state's efforts to expand renewable energy, especially off-shore wind, and said those endeavors will continue. He also emphasized a continued focus on energy storage.
He said better storage makes intermittent sources of renewable energy like wind and solar more viable, and makes it possible to "purchase power at a point and time when the price is low and from the sources you want to purchase it from."
But Baker balked at efforts to drive down greenhouse gas emissions by Massachusetts imposing a new charge on fossil fuels like gasoline.
He said it would mean people could just drive to nearby states to get cheaper gas. "So you don't get any of the benefit associated with a single-state carbon tax," he said. "The right way to do this is think about it regionally."
Not everyone in the State House will agree.
The state Senate, seen as more liberal than both the House of Representatives and Baker, is expected to push for a varied progressive agenda over the next two years.
Asked whether he is expecting more friction, he replied he's had a good working relationship with Senate President Karen E. Spilka and doesn't see any reason why it wouldn't continue.
He also used the question to draw a distinction with the turmoil in Washington, D.C.
"There's always going to be friction, OK?" Baker said. "But the key is to recognize and understand that friction is an opportunity for discussion. And I think one of the things we've tried to do here in Massachusetts — and I believe have done better than people in D.C., certainly — is at the first sign of friction, we don't turn our backs. I mean, we continue to talk and to see if we can't get somewhere."

Translators are usually sole traders but never sole treaders: thanks to our linguists' networks, we complement our offerings, share tips and resources, protect ourselves against bad payers and time-wasters, help our clients out and keep them away from crooks. We stick together and strengthen the industry to everyone's benefit.
Translation requires a fair amount of research, which is one of the interesting aspects of the job. Sometimes, however, after spending too much time searching for an elusive term or after thinking about a sentence for so long that we no longer know what we're trying to say, it is good to ask colleagues who will hopefully be having a better day and will get us back on track. Through fora and other networking platforms, these wonderful peers may know just the term we're looking for, find a great website that answers our question exactly, have an old dusty dictionary on the subject lying around, be (or have a good friend who is) an expert in that field, or suggest a new direction that helps us to hit the nail on the head, or simply confirm and reassure us that our sentence does make sense or, if not, offer a smoother alternative.
Green Lights and Black Lists
To believe that sole traders are isolated and vulnerable would be naive. We are not. Translators share their experiences of clients between themselves, praising the good and warning against the not-so-good – so a client's reputation, good or bad, can precede them. When receiving a request from a new client, we have many ways of checking the client up before taking any work on. There are indeed many websites, databases, fora, etc. set up for translators (and other suppliers) to rate clients. Some translation agencies in particular have been banned from posting job offers on certain translation community websites. Similarly, small claims against bad payers are not uncommon and news of those can go round pretty quickly.
Keeping Clients Safe
As much as we want to keep away from trouble makers, we also want to keep our good clients safe. This is not just because we are lovely people; it's also because our profession is not regulated. This means that there are plenty of amateurs and crooks out there. Consequently, professionals have to stick together to avoid those individuals giving us all a bad name or making previously conned clients suspicious and difficult. Hence, a translator will always try to recommend or find a trust-worthy colleague when you need services or languages other than what they provide. We know where to look and what to look for.
Independent translators could prove to be strong allies and more valuable working partners than you might anticipate.

Okay, my dryer did NOT catch fire. But someone is watching out for me because it damned well could have.
I bought new towels for Hubbie and myself for our anniversary. I washed and dried them this morning. We religiously clean the lint trap. Part of it is an OCD thing. I love when I wash something fluffy and there is a ton of lint to scrape off. I always feel disappointed when there isn't much fluff. But I digress.
The towels were so soft! I pulled the lint screen out of its home and scraped off a shitload of lint! WooHoo! And it was super soft, too! I went to put the screen back and saw that not all of the red lint had gotten on the screen. There was still some down in the place where the screen lives. I went to pull out the little bits of red lint that I could see and thought I saw something else.
Huh? What is that?
I couldn't see very well. So I got a flashlight. And thank god I was already sitting down when I peered into the nether regions of my dryer.
Here is what I pulled out on the initial extraction.
I started with metal tongs reaching in and grabbing what I could. Piece after piece after nasty piece. Check with the flashlight, extract another chunk. When I couldn't reach any more with the metal tongs, I switched to a wooden chopstick. That did not get me very far, so I switched to an even more sophisticated tool--LittleMan's plastic golf driver. When that no longer worked, I switched to the plastic clothes hanger. That ended up being the best thing to use as it was a little bit bendy, and I could kind of poke it around and pull out even more crap.
Here is the end result.
There was all manner of nasty things in there. I absolutely could not believe the things I was finding. Pistachio shells, coins, hair barrettes, q-tips. MATCHES for crying out loud!! Who the fuck puts matches through the washer and dryer? Here is a picture of some of the "treasures" I found.
I was completely convinced that I had cleaned out this particular lint trap upon moving into this townhouse. Upon further reflection, I realized that I had gone through this process when I bought my condo in ATL, but that I had, in fact, not done it to the dryer in our new place. This is an old and shitty dryer. It has shrunk clothes that we have had for years and thought were unshrinkable. I am grateful that they left them for us to use, but holy dryer fire, Batman!!! Look at all this nasty shit I pulled out of there!!
And here is all the dryer fluff in a grocery bag for comparison.
After yanking all this stuff out and putting it into a bag, I felt like I ought to have an asthma attack or something.
So in the end:
1. I have a cleaner dryer.
2. I am more worried that the damned thing will catch on fire because if that is what I could reach, what the hell else is back there?
3. People are nasty. Do not trust your landlords to have your best interests at heart.
Oh, and I made fifty cents.
Who would have thought playing Operation as a kid would turn out to be so useful?

Feb. 2019: Michigan Republicans kill Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's environmental overhaul plan
Feb. 2019: Few love MDEQ. But are oversight panels worth Whitmer-GOP showdown?
May 2018: Michigan House approves bills letting industry vote on environmental rules
On Valentine's Day, the Michigan Chamber of Commerce and Michigan Farm Bureau wrote a love letter to two bills currently in the state legislature that would create two oversight boards for the state Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).
Chris Kolb is president and CEO of the Michigan Environmental Council and is a former member of the Michigan House of Representatives.
In reality, it was a love letter to themselves. These bills, SB 652 and 653, don't fix problems, they create them. In short, they put the fox in charge of the hen house, as industry would have final say on any administrative rule or permit that comes out of the DEQ.
Related: Michigan's DEQ needs reform. Oversight boards are a common sense solution.
Related: Senator wants to defang the 'radical' Michigan DEQ. He just may do so
Despite claims by bill proponents that the rulemaking process doesn't work well and is cloaked in secrecy, the opposite is what happens in reality. Stakeholders are brought to the table and sometimes work for years refining a draft rule that is then required to go through a lengthy public comment period.
Michigan Environmental Council has sat on many workgroups over the years, and has been joined by Michigan businesses, industry and agricultural proponents who have worked together to create a final product.
Senate Bill 652 seeks to change how rules are adopted by giving an industry-controlled board the authority to kill a rule package at the end of those years of hard work. Current law gives that authority to the department director who is directly accountable to the elected Governor, instead of an unelected panel of special interests.
Senate Bill 653 is no better in giving a similar panel final decision-making authority on permits that can change anything in a permit that a permit applicant, and only an applicant, wishes. There is no corresponding provision for a member of the general public that thinks a permit is too lax; the bill gives a permit applicant the sole discretion to apply. Instead of a system to protect public health, it sets up a system to protect those companies asking permission to pollute Michigan's environment.
Additionally, this board creates the open question of what happens when the board makes a change to a permit condition that the DEQ director believes is contrary to state or federal law? As a constitutional officer, the DEQ director must uphold state and federal law and could not allow the department to enforce a permit that is contrary to it. It seems the state would have to sue itself to challenge the permit (that it has just issued) creating more uncertainty and wasteful government spending.
As icing on their cake, the industry representatives can only be removed "for cause," as opposed to the department director who can be dismissed at any time by the governor. And these industry representatives do not even have to be Michigan residents. Instead, the proponents of the bills are okay with someone from Canada representing Enbridge having a vote on how Michigan should clean up oil spills, or someone from Nebraska casting a deciding vote on whether an iconic dune area should be subject to mining.
Those special interests have no personal stake in the Great Lakes and don't recognize their importance to our economy, our communities and our families.
We agree with Mr. Studley and Mr. Bednarski that the DEQ is not perfect; chronic underfunding has made fulfilling its mission a challenge. Following the Flint water crisis, with PFAS contamination threatening aquifers and Lake Erie choking in algae, we need to think about how DEQ performs its mission to protect our environment.
SB 652 and 653 do nothing to address what happens when the health of Michiganders is put at risk. Ultimately, SB 652 and SB 653 will hinder the DEQ in protecting the people and environment of our great state and should be voted down by our elected leaders.

21 Oct FGR replaces natural gas in green house facility in Helsingborg
The greenhouse wanted to be greener by replacing an old natural gas burner.
Bröderna Perssons Handelträdgård have been using pellets in combination with a gas burner for peek loads. Whey wanted to replace the gas burner with something more environmental friendly. Their choice fell on a FRG connected to the existing pellets burner. The improved heat output will be sufficient to take on peek loads, and the installation will pay for it self by the improved efficiency. As a bonus the particle emission will be reduced.

In this edition of DC Round-Up, Arrow's executive producer discusses setting up season 4's Big Bad. Victor Garber talks the fast track for the Arrow/The Flash spin-off. There's even more villainy planned on the second season of Gotham. Plus, there are several more Suicide Squad pictures.
Arrow's executive producer, Marc Guggenheim talked with Entertainment Weekly about setting up season 4's Big Bad…
Are Damien Darhk and H.I.V.E. the big bad next season on Arrow? — Peach
It's no coincidence that Ra's al Ghul name dropped both, and I hear we'll get even more clues about what's in store soon. "I will say that season 1 didn't set up the big bad of season 2 and season 2 didn't set up the big bad of season 3, at least as far as the season finales were concerned," executive producer Marc Guggenheim says. "We'll probably go further than we've ever gone in a season finale to give you a sense as to who the big bad of the next season will be. But we still have a lot to do with Ra's and the League of Assassins."
In an interview with Broadway World, The Flash's Victor Garber discussed the spin-off's fast track…
PC: Did you film a pilot?
VG: No. We haven't filmed any of it yet – but, it is going straight to series.

TV Guide got scoop on Gotham's Penguin going into the second season…
So, now that Penguin's dreams of running the criminal element in Gotham have come true, it'll be smooth sailing, right? Um, no. "He's still a little naïve in terms of what this actually means," Taylor tells TVGuide.com. "Is he going to be able to sustain this? I don't think he really knows all that it takes to be the king of Gotham. His whole M.O. has been to create chaos, but now he has to completely switch gears and basically keep chaos at bay."
And, unfortunately, it seems Penguin won't be able to rely on his old friend Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie), who chose to leave Penguin to die earlier in the episode, for help. "Jim is done with Oswald, but Oswald is not done with Jim," Taylor says with a laugh. "Penguin will be demanding more respect from Jim and if Jim doesn't deliver it, their friendship is essentially over. Even though Jim repaid his favor, their relationship is fundamentally undermined because Jim essentially betrayed him. All of the trust that he had in Jim is completely in question. He will obviously try to keep Jim close, but if Jim doesn't play along or play nice, it's on."
In addition, TVLine got tidbits on different story telling structure and upcoming villains…
McKenzie says the show's creative team is plotting to "fundamentally change the mechanics" behind the series, translating into "no more Case of the Week" and new ways for Jim & Co. to maintain order amid the madness. And make no mistake, the villainy won't be limited to Penguin and an emerging Riddler. Expected to surface during Season 2 are the DC Comics characters of Clayface and the Mad Hatter, as well as one very chill dude overdue for a closer look. "Mr. Freeze's origin story has never been told," Danny Cannon notes, "so that will be fun."

Based on Stephen King's sprawling Gunslinger series, The Dark Tower takes thousands of pages of mythology that spans centuries and dimensions and pares it down to a spare ninety-five minute movie that encompasses a thimble's worth of all that original King storytelling. Fans of the books will have plenty of Easter eggs to pick out and keep them moderately engaged with the movie, but everyone else will be completely alienated by this conventional and surprisingly boring would-be franchise that looks like it was shot on a dollar store budget in a high school gymnasium. It's not an outright mess, but that's really too bad, as its sheer conventionality keeps The Dark Tower from being an entertaining and ambitious miss like Jupiter Ascending or Winter's Tale.
The movie opens by establishing that there is a Dark Tower keeping the universe together, and then we cut to kids in a suburban dystopian who get their brains sucked out by a machine in Matthew McConaughey's evil lair to try and destroy said tower. Are their brains really being sucked out? Unclear. As will be the case throughout the movie, there is very little explanation of what is really happening, but the kids scream and light comes out of their heads so I assume there's some kind of thought-and-or-brain sucking going on. Anyway, Matthew McConaughey is the bad guy, the Man In Black, who is kind of the devil and also called Walter. "His name is Walter?" a character asks, incredulous. A human wrote this, I marvel, equally incredulous. (Four people wrote it, including Akiva Goldsman, who also adapted the gloriously bad Winter's Tale.)
Unlike Valerian, which suffers for bad casting, the casting here is pretty great. McConaughey is smarmy and oily and enjoying himself as WALTER, and Idris Elba is exactly the guy you want playing a taciturn and emotionally broken soldier, the last of his kind, mythical legend and maybe-magical warrior in a fantasy film. As Roland, a retro-future "Gunslinger" who is kind of a knight in his post-apocalyptic dimension, Elba is perfect. It's just too bad he doesn't have anything to f*cking do.
The Dark Tower sets up an epic, unending struggle between WALTER and Roland, then changes its mind and decides to be about a dumb wiener kid. This particular DWK is named Jake (Tom Taylor), and he's meant to be a Spielbergian Special Boy but the movie forgets to make him in any way special. Oh, he's got a "shine", aka psychic powers—and a reference to The Shining, GET IT?—and WALTER latches onto him as the super-kid whose brain juice will finally destroy the Dark Tower, but like every other DWK, Jake is only special because the script tells us so. But he's psychic! So is that character over there—Claudia Kim as Arra—and she's not the star of the movie. What about Jake as a person is interesting and special enough that would compel an audience to care about him? Nothing.
Roland only hitches his wagon to Jake because he sees the kid as a means to get at WALTER, but the two inevitably bond because the scripts makes them. Despite the plot being extremely easy to track, it feels like there are huge chunks of story missing, particularly character development. It's a minor miracle this movie isn't an utter mess, but plot-wise, it really isn't. It's just that nothing makes sense. Part of me appreciates a fantasy film not choking its audience with exposition, but at the same time, it isn't clear how anything in this world works, why anything is happening, or why we should care. The stakes are universe-ending—yes, there's a sky portal—but the investment is nil. It's just a rote superhero knock-off.
And boy is it UGLY. Shot for approximately seven dollars, The Dark Tower is a muddy, unattractive picture with terribly choreographed and filmed action. Half the action scenes are at night so you can't see sh*t, and the other half are edited in a blender and completely unintelligible. The obvious visual language of Westerns isn't utilized at all, which renders Roland completely forgettable.. He could easily have been an iconic figure, but instead he looks like a Westworld cosplayer. And the score from Tom Holkenborg—aka Junkie XL—is EXTREMELY bad, so misjudged it actively ruins several scenes.
I can't imagine how The Dark Tower could be any more disappointing. King fans might derive some satisfaction from all the references, but this won't work as a magnet for new fans, let alone a franchise starter. It wastes Idris Elba's hero potential, disregards an enjoyably bad McConaughey performance, and the style director Nikolaj Arcel displayed with A Royal Affair is nowhere to be seen. (It's also a CRIMINAL WASTE of Katheryn Winnick.) Forcing the movie into a cookie cutter franchise shape doesn't make The Dark Tower appealing, it just makes it boring and conventionally bad.
Here's Idris on Despierta America yesterday.

Antebellum Puzzle: The Decline in Heights at the Onset of Modern Economic Growth
Lee A. Craig
Since the late 18th century the long-run trend in economic growth—conventionally measured by real gross domestic product, income, and wages—has been positive in the United States and throughout Europe. However, in the 19th century, many Western countries, including the United States, experienced stagnation and even cyclical downturns in the biological standard of living—as measured by, for example, the expectation of life and adult stature—thus creating the "antebellum puzzle," so named because the downturn began in the decades before the US Civil War. This puzzle suggests that industrialization and modern economic growth were accompanied by an increase in inequality and a decrease in the consumption of net nutrients.
The Anthropometric History of the Mediterranean World
Brian A'Hearn
Long-run height series for several southern European countries stagnate or decline from the early 18th to the mid-19th century. Read jointly with estimates of gross domestic product (GDP) per capita and real wages, this evidence indicates that Mediterranean households were forced to work increasing annual hours in an effort to protect an already meager living standard. After the mid-19th century, conditions improved in all countries, but with different timing. Also different was the phasing of anthropometric and economic improvements, reflecting distributional and public health influences on living conditions. Today's southern Europeans are typically shorter than their northern neighbors, which is only partly explicable in terms of measured health and wealth in the region. New evidence indicates that genetic differences may also play a role.
The Biological Standard of Living in Europe from the Late Iron Age to the Little Ice Age
Nikola Koepke
This chapter documents human development in the very long run on the basis of anthropometric indicators used as a proxy measure of the biological standard of living. The author explores the trend in height of European populations, controlling for aspects of natural, economic, and social change. Findings include that there was a small increase in overall mean height in Europe from the 8th century BCE to the 18th century CE (c. 0.5 cm per millennium on average for the total dataset), with regional and temporal variations, including particular low points during Roman ascendancy (1st century BCE in Mediterranean Europe, 8 cm below the predicted mean) and the Little Ice Age (17th century CE in North-Eastern Europe, 7 cm below the predicted mean). Significant explanatory variables for these trends are the availability of dairy products, the share of the population living in urban areas, and the impact of the Roman Empire.
Body Mass Index Through Time: Explanations, Evidence, and Future Directions
Scott Alan Carson
Measuring the health of a population during the process of economic development is a principle objective in health economics and economic history, and the body mass index (BMI) plays an important role in such studies. Using data on convicts, the author finds that African American BMIs were historically greater than that of whites by 5%. In addition, the differences between average BMIs and obesity narrowed between the two ethnic groups in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, and both are now much more likely to be obese than they were earlier. About 1% of males in the 19th century were obese, whereas between 35% and 40% of their modern counterparts are obese. Whereas greater BMIs were once more common among physically active workers, obesity is now more common for workers in sedentary occupations. Explanations are considered for the documented increases in BMIs and obesity.
Slave Heights
Richard H. Steckel
The new anthropometric history, which blends human biology with history and economics in a form understandable to a general audience, began in the mid-1970s with the study of important questions about American slavery, such as the age of slaves at menarche and their first birth, stature attained relative to other contemporary populations, time trends in stature, and the relationship between mortality and physical growth in childhood. This chapter updates the literature based on refinements in the methodology and on substantially more evidence from slave manifests. Important new conclusions concern childbearing at young ages, adequacy of the diet, the profitability of childhood stunting and recovery, and the cognitive and socioeconomic consequences of severe early childhood deprivation.

It seems to be a consensus across the nation and the majority of the world: people want whiter teeth, but where should you start? It seems that almost every dental product sold claims to be a whitening product. What toothpaste today really does not claim to whiten your teeth? If all of these things are supposed to make your teeth whiter, why do you still struggle with tooth stains?
Perhaps you have tried whitening strips, whitening toothpaste, or other things, but none of them seem to work the way that you desire.
The truth of the matter is: not all whitening products are made equal.
Most whitening toothpastes and whitening strips are comprised of the very ingredients that are known and proven to whiten your teeth. However, their effectiveness is not determined by their ingredients alone. The medium of application and the amount of time that it is in contact with your teeth is what truly determines its effectiveness.
Think about it, toothpaste is mixed with water and lathered onto your teeth for a brief minute or two. The application is bubbly and lacks density to say the least. After you are done brushing, you quickly rinse the toothpaste out of your mouth and spit it into the sink. This leaves a lot to be desired as far as whitening goes.
Whitening strips are also effective in theory. Most contain the right ingredients, however, they are known to cause your teeth to become sensitive and can take weeks to months before you see clear results.
The most consistent and effective way to whiten your teeth is an in-office whitening procedure. Your dentist will apply a whitening paste to your teeth and hold it there for a set amount of time. In just one hour, you can see your teeth visibly brighten. This procedure typically leaves patients with far less sensitivity and a much brighter smile.
If you have any questions regarding in-office whitening procedures, please give us a call today.

Game Overview
Helicopters are pretty smart things, Bp being able to fly just about everywhere and all that. This general smartness makes them pretty useful in wars, and hence a good subject for computer games. There have been chopper sims on the PC for nearly as long as there have been sims of fixed-wing planes, but there's never been enough of them on the shelves at any one time to give you much of a choice, and there's usually only ever one out there that's really worth getting. The current flavour of the month is EA's excellent Longbow 2. This is aimed at fans of ultra-realism, featuring all the weapons, sensors and other stuff that's packed into the AH-64 Apache gunship. It's also got lots of very detailed terrain to hide behind, and generally great graphics.
Team Apache is another AH -64 sim with cutting-edge graphics, but developers Simis have adopted a different approach from that used in Longbow 2. Instead of going all-out to accurately model the real thing, they've simplified the on-board systems which (they reckon) leaves you more time to actually enjoy the gameplay and concentrate on fighting and tactics.
What's The Catch, Then?
But how much has been left out? Well, tbe biggest difference between tonpbow?and this game is that in Team Apache you only get to play the pilot. This means that weapon targeting is out of your hands, and although you can instruct the computer-controlled co-pilot/gunner (CPG) to shoot targets, there are none of those long-range camera views and other sensors. Instead, the computer automatically prioritises targets, leaving you to select and fire the weapons.
My initial reaction was that leaving out the CPG's role from Team Apache was like leaving out half the game. However, the biggest problem with Longbow s that you have to do both jobs in real time - which is fine when cruising towards the target area with the autopilot switched on, but in the heat of bathe you don't have time to do both jobs at once, and end up letting the computer's AI handle the targeting anyway. Team Apache's approach really just takes this one step further.
While the on-hoard systems have been simplified, the flight model definitely has not. Having never actually flown an Apache, I'm buggered if I know whether or not Team Apache's choppers handle accurately, but they feel suitably wobbly and awkward, and flying along at 100ft takes a lot of concentration.
Lush Graphics Alert
But flying low is made considerably less stressful by the excellent graphics. While LongboWs got plenty of rolling terrain, it's been criticised for a lack of actual ground objects. Not so with Apache. There are plenty of roads, houses (some with cars parked outside), trees and even cities, complete with skyscrapers that you can fly around. Everything's nicely detailed, too, which helps convey a real sense of speed.
Team Apache's got the usual dynamic lighting effects, including the obligatory lens flare, and the helicopters themselves look lush. The attention to detail is superb, and one of the first things you nobce when you switch on your engines is the shadow of your rotors flickering across the cockpit Switch to an outside view and you can see rippling circles in the grass caused by the down-draft.
But best of all is the weather. Rain showers feature proper rain drops, while the storms come with forked lightning and thunder. Even more to Simls' credit is the fact that the whole thing runs incredibly smoothly on a P200MMX with a 3Dfx card, with no noticeable jerkiness, even in the middle of cities.
Management Training
Gameplay consists of the usual instant action, multi-player, training and single missions, as well as dynamic campaigns. The first of these is set in Colombia, with a drugs-related theme, while the second is in Latvia. When you start a campaign, you get the chance to manage the men in your unit, which is where Team Apache really stands out Each man has a set of traits that make him more or less suitable in certain conditions, and it's up to you to keep things running smoothly. If your unit starts to suffer too badly, morale plummets, and pilots and ground crew start underperforming.
Combat is a pretty hectic affair, and flying straight into a combat zone means instant death. Sneaking around is much more sensible, popping up now and then to see what's over the horizon. The simplifications made to Team Apache are bound to put off a certain kind of sim fan, for whom attention to detail is of the utmost importance. But then they'd be missing one vital ingredient - playability, which Team Apache's got bags of.
While it may not have all the instruments of the real thing, the flight model and gorgeous graphics do a great job of convincing you that you're flying a helicopter into combat, which is surely the point anyway. It may not be the best sim, but it's certainly the most fun.
Why Are Helicopters Such Bastards To Fly?
Helicopters always seem to be crashing, so they must be a bit tricky to master. But why?
It doesn't take a genius to work out how helicopters get off the ground: the rotors are like little wings that zip round and pull the whole thing up. That's the easy bit. The hard bit Is controlling the thing. There are three controls - the cyclic, the collective and the tail rotor. The cyclic is the thing that's controlled by the joystick, and It basically sets the direction that the rotors pull the chopper. Collective Is how much the rotor blades bite into the air, which controls how much thrust Is provided. Finally, the tall rotor can be used like a rudder to spin the helicopter round on its axis.
So if you're flying in a straight line and want to go up a bit, you can pull back on the stick, but just doing this will simply make the helicopter 'flatten out'. This will indeed make it rise, but it'll also slow down. If you pull back too much, it'll shoot upwards pretty fast and stop moving horizontally - bad news in combat. So careful juggling of collective and cyclic are needed. Be sure to practice just flying about before you even think about going into combat You'll need to be better than Mike Smith if you're going to get very far In this game. Still, If Prince Andrew can do It...

You want to become closer to Nature, you go live in the woods and eat nuts and berries. Don't take away our lightbulbs, try and take control of when we use our heat/cooling and for how long and how high. Don't fill our streets with safety-lacking "eco cars" that use electricitry--which, by the way, comes from a very un-eco-friendly source--let us live our lives. We are free Americans, and global warming is both false and made up by scientists.

The question about showers was designed to make you look like a jerk unless you said you would shorten your time there. Like using water that is an infinite resource is going to cause pollution/warming/whatever. Losers.
Going green is retarded, is hype for the government to control us with, gives others power, and the eco idiots are just that--idiots!!
Though we do recycle, simply because our garbage company does that anyway. Whatever.

I don't understand this "green" trend. If they're gonna have a trend, I'm glad it's about being environmentally friendly rather than being reckless and destructive.
But where did this come from? If you people really cared about the environment, you would be joining charities and such to actually help, not having petty little catfights over who's "greener."
You wanna help save this planet? Put down the hairdryers and air-dry as you donate money, plant trees, and actually HELP!!

I usually don't buy my own stuff but if it came down to it I'd buy products that were 'greener' but really it's not up to me now as I'm living in someone elses' house. Though I do turn off the lights on Dark Earth day and usuallt ruen off anything (like a PS3 or lightbulb) if I'm not using it within the next 24 hours. (can't say much for my internet habbit though since my computer rarely goes 24 hours without being used. XD)

Garlic is unique in that we plant it in the fall for harvest the following year. We form raised beds which are covered with a very thin layer of plastic mulch. Holes are punched into the plastic and each garlic clove is planted by hand. The best garlic bulbs from the prior year are saved for planting. The bulb is broken apart into its individual cloves. Each clove is planted separately, which becomes next year's garlic plant. The whole field is then covered with a protective layer of straw mulch for the winter.
In the spring, garlic is the very first plant out of the ground, poking thru the straw mulch. Garlic has shallow roots so it needs lots of water; which we provide with a drip irrigation system that is installed in each raised bed. Any extra needed fertility is added in the fall when the beds are made. A few weeds make their way thru the mulch systems which we then pull by hand. In early June the garlic sends up its seed heads, called garlic scapes. The scapes are harvested and delivered to you. If the scapes are left on the plant, the garlic bulb will be much smaller because the plant is putting its energy into producing the seed head, which it sees as its way of reproducing itself. It has no idea we are going to do that for the garlic, as described above. So why not plant the seeds from the seed head you may ask. You can, but the result will be very small garlic bulbs.
Mid July is garlic harvest season. Garlic is harvested all at once, making the job a big deal on the farm. The garlic bulbs mature to a certain point, after which they will begin to lose all their protective layers of "skin" and become undeliverable to you. So all the garlic comes out of the ground; it is placed in a dry place with fans blowing air over the moist bulbs, thereby curing the garlic for long-term storage.
Garlic harvest, like many tasks on the farm, is tedious and slow. Each garlic bulb is hand harvested, the dirt must be removed from the roots, and the outer skin is removed to make the garlic pretty and clean. Sometimes the soil is a bit too wet and sometimes a bit too dry, each condition giving the harvest crew extra work; but occasionally the soil is just right making the job a little easier. The garlic first has its tops mowed off to make harvest and curing easier. The garlic beds are then undercut with a tractor operated lifter which loosens the garlic for pulling. Then the hand harvest begins.
Garlic, like our potatoes, is a seed crop for us. In addition to delivering garlic to you, we sell garlic to other organic farmers for them to plant. So we grow lots of garlic and several varieties. We have experimented over the years with many varieties. We start with a small amount of garlic, and if we like it, we "grow it out"; meaning we keep all the garlic to replant over several years until we have enough to deliver to you and sell to other farms. This year we will be delivering four varieties, Musik, German, Italian Red and Chesnok Red. Each garlic variety has subtle differences in flavor and cooking qualities; all of them are great. We will be including garlic in your share thru the end of the season. Enjoy.

With Captain America: The Winter Soldier now playing here in the States (I've seen it and it's fantastic), rumors abound regarding what could take place in the next Cap film. The directors of The Winter Soldier, Anthony and Joe Russo, have already signed on to return for Captain America 3 and have hinted toward the addition of the 1950s "psychotic" Captain America, who is, in a nutshell, "Captain America gone wrong". Whether or not this is the case is yet to be seen, and a lot can change between now and the film's May 6, 2016 release date, but just in case, we thought it would be best to get you prepped and suited up regardless.
Hit the jump for a rundown of what the 1950s Captain America comics run entails, which just might serve as a Captain America 3 preview when the Marvel sequel rolls around.
Crazy Cap
Pretend you are the US Government for a minute. You have created the ultimate soldier who helps you win one of the biggest wars to ever touch mankind. He is the perfect representation of American gumption and leads armies of men to victory as easily as he breathes. Right before the war is finished, however, said person is lost to the oceans and is thought dead, what do you do? Do you sit on your hands and mourn the loss of the super soldier, or do you try again? This was the origin of William Burnside who had discovered a knock off version of the super soldier serum and decided to inject himself with it. Burnside however didn't want to just become Captain America, he wanted to be Steve Rogers as well, and thus went so far as to get plastic surgery to make himself look exactly like his then lost hero.
Putting on the Captain America costume and leaping to fight a Red Skull who prided himself a communist, as this was the time of the "Red Scare", Burnside fought off the Skull but succumbed to madness due to the shoddy work of the super soldier serum he had ingested. He was cryogenically frozen and eventually revived in the present, still nutty as a fruit bat, and seeking to eliminate everyone he believed to be a secret Communist supporter (basically everyone). During this time, Steve Rogers was thought dead but was actually hurdling through time thanks to the Red Skull's 'time bullets' (COMIC BOOKS!) and Bucky Barnes, formerly the Winter Soldier, had become the new Captain America. Barnes fought Burnside and ended up killing him as Burnside had attempted to create an American resistance near the Hoover Dam. Eventually, Rogers returned and took up the mantle of Captain America once again, and Bucky went back to being the Winter Soldier, albeit not as murder-y this time around.
Why Captain Insano?
William Burnside represents good intentions gone horribly awry and leads us to a foregone conclusion that hasn't really been explored in the Marvel movie-verse. If the US government had this amazing super soldier at their disposal and had last him, do you really think they would have stopped attempting to remake him? Not only from the perspective of being a valuable asset on the front lines of any given war, but to also represent the American Dream wrapped around one man wearing a star spangled costume with a shield. Imagine how a "Captain America" that endorsed the Vietnam War may have changed the populace's ideas on the war in general. What about one who was endorsing Desert Storm or the most recent Iraq War? How would this have changed the American people, and more importantly, what if they were to find out he was crazy to boot?
To be honest, it's hard to think of a more perfect reflection of Captain America's ideals and his place in the world than the Red Skull, however I think Burnside would hit a lot closer to home and make Steve Rogers really question his government and the way that they've been operating, not only in the present, but in the past as well. Steve lived in a world of black and whites and was shocked by the present culture of greys, but what if he was to discover that maybe the way he looked at the world back then was with rose tinted glasses and the world hadn't changed as much as he had originally thought. These are questions that would make for some interesting conundrums in the now-confirmed third Captain America picture.
Star Spangled Antagonists?
As has been the case with the Captain America films, and the Marvel films in general, one villain usually is accompanied by others attempting to sour our heroes' day, so who should join Mr. Burnside in attempting to send the nation into chaos? Well, there's always the idea of bringing the Red Skull back into action. Last we saw him, he was sent to another dimension thanks to the Tessaract (just once I'd like for someone in the movies to call it the 'Cosmic Cube') and was thought dead, but this is comics, no one stays dead forever. While Hugo Weaving has gone on record that he wouldn't be returning to the role, you can hire someone older than Weaving to portray the red faced villain as recasting isn't something entirely new to Marvel films (as was the case with Terrance Howard being replaced by Don Cheadle as James Rhodes/War Machine/Iron Patriot).
Baron Zemo is another possibility but I feel that he's a bit too close to the Red Skull in terms of motivations and back story, regardless of being one of Cap's main villains. If Marvel really wanted to go out there, they may think of throwing in Baron Blood. Blood is a Captain America villain who is not only a Nazi, but a vampire as well. With the Doctor Strange film currently being discussed, it could make for a perfect way to start shoehorning the supernatural/magical aspects of the Marvel Universe into their more down to earth films like Cap. Finally, you could throw in Dr. Faustus, who's a big lumbering big bearded fella who happens to have mental abilities which help cause problems for the good Captain. Not that much of a flashy villain, but he's quite important to Captain America lore.
I could say a few more things based around the ending of Captain America: Winter Soldier, but I'll wait until everyone has a chance to see, in my mind, the best Marvel movie that's been made to date.

Hi all,
I'm new here and this is my first post. I've been reading the forums for some time so I'm hopeful I'll get good advice on here :-)
I've just moved into a new house and I've got a problem with the phone jacks. All the jacks ( four in total ) are dead and if a handset is plugged in to any of them, it sounds like an echo ( an open line ?? ). I've located the main 'star' junction and hopefully a picture of this will appear below :-
20140929_191034 by markoneswift, on Flickr
From the image, you can see towards the bottom left a blue wire which appears to have been punched down at some point. Would it be a safe assumption that if I follow sequentially along the numbered slots and then punch down this wire into the next available slot, the phone 'circuit' should be complete ? The order seems to go along blue / white+blue stripe, blue, white+blue stripe etc.
Hoping someone can help, thanks in anticipation :-)

Take the extra time to make everything legal. I self-published Killer Career, but before doing so, I registered my publishing company, Choice One Publishing Co. with the Cook County Clerk of the State of Illinois.
I also applied for and obtained a trademark from the Secretary of State of Illinois for the use of my pen name, Morgan Mandel.
When I requested the rights back for my backlist books from Mundania Press, I sent and kept a copy of the certified letter requesting the reversion of my rights.
I contacted Mundania and told them I needed written confirmation and received an email verifying I had my rights back.
To busy authors, this may seem like nitpicking, but it could save you grief in the longrun. Saturday, I received an inquiry from Amazon about my publishing rights for Two Wrongs, which I'm in the process of getting up on Kindle. After rummaging around today, I found copies of all of my documentation and sent it along to Amazon. Hopefully, they'll be quick about clearing this up, since I'd hoped to have this book back in circulation by now under my own auspices at the reduced 99 cents price on Kindle.
Okay, now that I'm through bragging about having all this stuff to at my disposal, I must confess it took a little while to find it. Not as long as I'd thought it would, though. I was lucky this time. I do save a lot of things, and not all of those things come in handy when I need them.
What about you? Are you legal? Have you run into any roadblocks where you had to provide some sort of legal proof?
