Despite Breaking Bad ending years ago, Bryan Cranston, has been becoming a prominent performer in the years since, even earning an Oscar nomination. He's now back with Wakefield, which premiered at Toronto and Telluride Film Festivals last fall. Based on the short story by E.L. Doctorow of the same name, it focuses on Wakefield as he abandons his current family behind and remains in his garage attic, leaving them skeptical of his strange disappearance. Also starring Jennifer Gardner as Howard Wakefield's wife, and directed by Robin Swicord, the first trailer has arrived,
"Wakefield would not be as fascinating if its central performance wasn't as fully fleshed out as Cranston makes it," we said in our review. "In the best performance of his career on the silver screen, it's made even more impressive by the fact that he is mostly alone for the majority of the film, but what he does is never less than riveting. He infuses his character with humor, heartbreak, and scathing cynicism. His Howard Wakefield is not necessarily a man one is supposed to like and, in many ways, he represents a kind of anti-hero that not many actors could pull off."
See the trailer below.
What would your life look like without you in it? Outwardly, Howard Wakefield (Bryan Cranston) is the picture of success. He has a loving wife (Jennifer Garner) and two daughters, a prestigious job as a Manhattan lawyer, and a comfortable home in the suburbs. Inwardly, though, he's suffocating. One day, something snaps and Howard goes into hiding in his garage attic. Leaving his family to wonder what happened to him, he observes them from the attic window—an outsider spying in on his own life. As the days of self-imposed isolation stretch into months, Howard begins to wonder: is it even possible to go back to the way things were? Driven by a tour de force, darkly comic performance from Breaking Bad'sBryan Cranston, Wakefield is a provocative look at what it means to walk away from it all.
Wakefield hits theaters on May 19 and VOD on May 26.

I do feel sorry for Andy Samberg though. Sucks to have to be tied to the likes of that ugly POS for the rest of his life.
I was gonna say the opposite, that Dylan looks like that POS Samberg, well, then never mind. Your right.

Hello! My previous post featured a chocolate cookbook whose author had created cookies and cakes loaded with gobs of candy or topped with gobs of frosting. The brownies I'd made from the book and gave the recipe for were so rich, I got tired of eating them after a couple of days.
Yet as excessive as the recipes in that cookbook can be, I have another one that is even more over the top:
Margaux Sky's Beautiful Breads & Fabulous Fillings. As with the chocolate cookbook, I first encountered this volume at the library, then purchased it at a greatly discounted price.
How "fabulous" are Sky's breads and fillings? I'll start with the sandwich that made Sky famous. Apparently Oprah Winfrey was in attendance at a lunch Sky catered, and Winfrey raved on her show about one of the sandwiches Sky had supplied.
In my cookbook, the recipe is titled "Curried Chicken on Spicy White Pepper-Jack Bread (aka the "O" Special). That title's quite the mouthful, isn't it? Perhaps that's fitting, because the sandwich is quite a mouthful too: somehow 2 cups cubed cooked chicken, 1 cup Curry Sauce, 1 cup shredded carrots, 1/2 cup chopped roasted almonds, 1 cup mesclun and 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes are supposed to fit between two slices of bread (Spicy White Pepper-Jack, of course). To be fair, the chicken, carrots, almonds and curry sauce are combined, with the sauce doing its best to hold everything together. But I'm not sure how you'd be able to fit the resulting conglomeration between two slices of bread - and still have room for the mesclun and chopped tomatoes.
Would you rather eat "Barbequed Shrimp On Three-Cheese Bread"? All you need for your sandwich, then, is 1/2 cup red onions, 1 pound jumbo shrimp, 1 cup Sweet Red Wine Barbecue Sauce, 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, 1 cup mesclun and 1/2 cup diced tomatoes. Yes, that's one pound of shrimp - for one serving.
I had an egg salad sandwich for lunch today, but I only used two eggs in mine, not the five eggs Sky's egg salad recipe lists.
Forget the usual peanut butter and jelly! Sky's "Peanut Butter, Honey and Caramelized Bananas on Brown Harvest Bread" gives the diner a whole half cup of peanut butter per sandwich - plus the same amount of honey. But strangely, only one banana per serving is used. I'm rather surprised Sky didn't try to cram more in with this recipe.
But perhaps the most excessive sandwich is the "Turkey Breakfast Bun", featuring a full pound of turkey, 1 cup of Tangy Apricot Pineapple Sauce, 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes and 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese - on one sliced English muffin. Again, this is one serving, folks.
Sky's comments about this sandwich: "This is a healthy portion, and eating both halves is enough to fill you for the entire morning and and a good deal of the afternoon. Since it's very good reheated, don't feel you must eat it all at once. "
"Healthy portion"? Sounds like an unhealthy portion to me! But luckily, it reheats well, so we don't have to eat that monster all at once!
Needless to say, Sky's English muffins must be gargantuan to hold that much food - and they are! Her recipe calls for eight cups of flour - but the yield is eight English muffins. How different is that from the usual English muffin recipe? Well, let's put it this way: I made the recipe once - and got 19 normal-size muffins. I can't imagine what English muffins made by her directions would look like - maybe the size of a pillow?
Yep, there are many psychotic recipes in this cookbook - breads baked with a filling of peanut butter and a chocolate fudge sauce (2 cups each), breads filled with salsa and grated Pepper Jack cheese (again, 2 cups of each), or with 1 cup each of three different cheeses). Each bread is meant to be the 9x5 loaf pan size.
Fortunately, one bread, Sweet French Loaf, isn't meant to be stuffed - instead, its large mass of dough (like the English muffin recipe, it starts with eight cups of flour) is merely shaped to fill a large baking sheet. It makes an impressive loaf of bread, great for parties.
The chapter on sauces and salad dressings is more reasonable, although offbeat at times. I haven't mustered up any interest in making the Lavender Mint Love Sauce. I do love lavender, but more in my toiletries than in my food!
However, I currently have a jar of Sweet Horseradish Sauce in our refrigerator, as I've found it goes well on a turkey sandwich. I'd already given this recipe; it can be found here.
And for this post, I'll give another easy recipe from that chapter:
Red Wine and Mustard Vinaigrette Dressing (adapted from Margaux Sky's Beautiful Breads & Fabulous Fillings)
1 cup red wine vinegar
3/4 cup deli or spicy brown mustard
1/2 cup olive oil
6 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well with a wire whisk. Store dressing in airtight container in the refrigerator. Mix well before each use.
As in my previous post, I'm using the word "psychotic" affectionately. Here, I'm just referring to the immense serving sizes and other extravagances in this cookbook. The recipes and presentations certainly are unique!
After all, who else would put two cups each of peanut butter and chocolate sauce in one loaf of bread, or concoct a sandwich with a pound of shrimp or turkey in it? Well, Margaux Sky did!

Eats: Psychotic Cookbook #2 And A Recipe From It
Labels: eats
2 comments:
Have you made any smaller versions of these sandwiches? They do sound good, but maybe with less of each ingredient?ReplyDelete
Back when I first got the cookbook, I did make a smaller-sized version of the "O" Special, but a lot of the sandwiches are a bit fussy to make, or would be rather pricey to recreate, so I haven't made any others. But I've made several of the bread recipes, adapted her pancake recipe, and have made several of the sauces. It's a fun cookbook even if it's flaky!ReplyDelete

the appetizer:
Bread Matters by Andrew Whitley, includes recipes like Basic Festive Bread Dough; Stollen; Schiacciata di Uva (Tuscan Harvest Bread); and Pirozhki.
Schiacciata di Uva
(Tuscan Harvest Bread)
Makes one fairly large 12-inch (30cm) schiacciata
Schiacciata means "squashed" in Italian. The savory versions of schiacciata are the Tuscan variant of Genoese focaccia and Neapolitan pizza. This is a slightly sweetened dough made into a filled flatbread, which celebrates multiple harvests. Vin Santo is a fortified sweet wine fermented from raisins, not fresh grapes, and so is at two removes from this year's harvest. The raisins are last year's product, and the fresh grapes on top are this year's. The best grapes to use for the topping are very ripe black ones (ideally seedless), which will bleed a little crimson juice into the dough as they are partially cooked during baking.
Warmed very slightly, this bread makes a great centerpiece on the table for dessert. It is equally good in slivers with fresh espresso.
The Fruit
- 2 tablespoons (1 fl oz) (30g) Vin Santo, sherry, or port wine
- 1-1/4 cups (7 oz) (200g) raisins
- 8 oz (230g) Total
Pour the alcohol over the raisins and soak thoroughly, overnight if possible. Drain before using. Reserve any liquor as a reward for later.
The Ferment
- 5 teaspoons (3/4 oz) (20g) granulated sugar
- 1/5 oz (5g) fresh yeast or 1/2 teaspoon (1/10 oz) (2.5g) active dry yeast
- Scant 1/2 cup (3-1/2 fl oz) (100g) water (at 95 degrees F [35 degrees C])
- 1-1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon (2-2/3 oz) (75g) unbleached all-purpose flour
- 7 oz (200g) Total
Dissolve the sugar and yeast in the water. Pour some of this onto the flour to make a paste. Mix until smooth, then gradually add the rest of the yeasty water. Whisk all together. Leave, covered, in a warm place until the ferment rises and then drops. This should take 40-60 minutes.
The Dough
- 1 cup (7 oz) (200g) Ferment (from above)
- 1-1/4 cups (8 oz) (230g) soaked raisins (from above)
- 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon (3-1/2 oz) (100g) stoneground breadmaking
whole-wheat or graham flour
- 1-1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon (2-2/3 oz) (75g) unbleached all-purpose flour
- Heaping 1/4 teaspoon (1/20 oz) (2g) sea salt
- 2 teaspoons (1/3 oz) (10g) raw cane sugar
- 2 tablespoons (1 fl oz) (30g) olive oil
- 1/4 cup (1 fl oz) (50g) water
- (1 lb 1 oz) (467 g) Total
Adjust the water temperature so that the final dough works out at about 81 degrees F (27 degrees C). Mix all the ingredients together and knead the dough until it is soft and supple. Cover it and put it to prove in a warm place for about one hour or at least until it has roughly doubled in bulk.
Divide the dough into 2 equal pieces and roll them into circles, each approximately 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick and no more than 6 inches (15cm) in diameter. Line a baking sheet with nonstick baking parchment and dust it with a little whole-wheat flour or semolina. This will help the schiacciata to stretch as you complete its assembly.
Lay one disk of dough on the baking sheet and spread the drained raisins over it evenly, almost to the edge. There will seem to be rather a lot, but don't worry. Lay the second circle of dough on top of the raisins and seal the edges well. This is best done by using a little of the moisture from the raisins to dampen the edge of the bottom piece of dough, then pulling this bottom piece over the top of the upper piece, and pressing down with a finger end to make the seal. Work your way round the whole thing like this.
You may now have a rather domed center to your loaf, so press down gently with the flat of your hand to squash it a little. You may also have trapped some air between the dough layers, so get a skewer (a digital probe thermometer works well) and make a few holes for the air to escape. You should end up with a reasonably flat disk about 8 inches (20cm) in diameter. The final stage is to decorate the top with grapes.
The Topping
- 2/3 cup (5 oz) (150g) black grapes
- 5 teaspoons (3/4 oz) (20 g) raw cane sugar
- 6 oz (170 g) Total
Wash and dry the grapes and pull them off the bunch. In a random, freespirited, Italian sort of way, push them firmly into the dough. You need to break the surface of the dough to make them stay in position, otherwise they will not survive final proof and baking, which will simply eject them and leave you with a ring of grapes around a naked schiacciata.
By the time you have finished pushing the grapes in, the schiacciata will have expanded to about 12 inches (30cm) in diameter. Sprinkle the sugar evenly over the whole thing. Proof for about an hour, then bake for approximately 30 minutes in a moderate 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) oven, which should not scorch the top.
Serve slightly warm, just as it is with a cup of coffee, or with cream or thick yogurt as a dessert.

This project by New York visual artist Blake Fall-Conroy lets anybody experience just how awesome it is to work for minimum wage.
The wood-and-plexiglass Minimum Wage Machine dispenses a single, shiny penny every 4.11 seconds, provided you keep on turning - and turning - that ol' crank. Spending an hour or 8 doing this might engender a bit more sympathy in your heart for the people making your frappucino or flipping your double quarter pounder.
The machine is set to dispense a total of $8.75 an hour - the minimum wage in New York State at the time of its creation - but can be reprogrammed to dole out the base pay wherever it's being displayed.
Fall-Conroy spoke about his public art projects at an independently produced TED Talk event in Cortland, New York. Many of his projects are like the Minimum Wage Machine, designed to draw attention to injustices and inequities in society.
"Someone might hear both sides of the minimum wage debate 10 different ways," he said. "But after turning the crank on the minimum wage machine for just a few minutes the feeling of working that type of job becomes crystal clear."
When you think about it, endlessly turning the handle on the Minimum Wage Machine is actually preferable to some actual minimum-wage gigs. At least you don't have to deal with cranky customers.

Amanda Holden is that woman on your TV screen you'd love to have a bit of a gossip with. Funny, laid-back, and ever the style icon, she's currently one of entertainment's leading ladies.
She rose to fame in film and theatre, but really hit our radar in Kiss Me Kate, The Grimleys and Cutting It, and now, of course, you're most likely to find her as a judge on everyone's favourite Saturday night show, Britain's Got Talent.
Nowadays, Amanda enjoys a happy family life with her husband Chris, whom she's been together with since 2002, and daughters Lexi, and Hollie. And she's even branched out into a brand new venture – homeware. She's teamed up with QVC to design a range of homeware bits, Bundleberry (buy it here), – and we'll warn you now – you're going to want to buy all of it…!
W&H spoke to Amanda exclusively to find out about the collaboration, life and BGT…
Let's talk BGT. How do you get along as judges, after six years on the panel together?
We judges are very very different as people! But Simon, Alesha, David and I all share the same kind of integrity and honesty, and we all have a massive sense of humour. That's the main thing we have in common.
We're always encouraged behind the scenes on the show to be very honest about what we want. There's always been so much trust. That kind of atmosphere definitely breeds contentment.
And of course, you've all got children now…
They're everywhere now! They're always coming to the show. We had Simon's son Eric on the other week. I've got to get used to Eric, because he will probably be my boss in about three years!
How do you make sure to stay in shape?
I do yoga. I also have a trainer who I do the Viking Method with. But I don't see her as much as I want to because I've been doing my show Stepping Out in the West End!
And I go running too, mainly so I just have an hour on my own! Yoga's something I find important just for my head as well, if nothing else. But since October, in Stepping Out there are two big dance routines at the end, so to be honest, that's kept me fit.
Genetics definitely play a part too! My grandmother is still alive and healthy at 96. My family and I are quite naturally slim. There's no secret or anything, unfortunately!
Do you diet?
I don't believe in diets! I'm a vegetarian, so I think that helps me to be healthier by default. But I love drinking wine, having a big of crisps, all of those sorts of things. I just think a little bit of everything is fine. Like's too short to do fat-free, sugar-free, alcohol-free! I can't be doing with any of it. I dip into all of it when it suits me. I have a regime I know I can live with for the rest of my life. It's more realistic.
I'm also weirdly addicted to Jacob's crackers! Last night, I got in and made a peppermint tea, got a load of olives out of the fridge, some butter, and Jacobs crackers. I don't even put anything on them! I love them. I tend to have something light late on in the day. I'm not massively hungry when I finish the show.
How has your make-up look evolved over the years?
I've been very lucky because when you're in television you obviously have a team of people to help you look lovely. But obviously I do my own make-up at the theatre, or when I'm at home.
Make-up artists give me tips and make me up in a way I can emulate, so I suppose over the years I've just got better teams of people, and we've all moved with the times. Thicker eyebrows and contouring is how my look personally has changed the most since I was younger. It's the fashion now!
What are your go-to make-up products?
I use a lot of different make-up. I love Bobbi Brown, and Tarte make-up. Christian Dior products are always great too. They're as light as air, and that works for me, because I like my freckles showing through. My makeup artist recently gave me some Hour Glass products, which I absolutely love! But the first two are my go-to brands. But I change it up a lot – that's key.
And skincare?
I'm using Elemis and Liz Earle at the moment as my skincare, but in six months it'll probably have changed. A top facialist told me your skin gets used to products, so you should change your skincare routine regularly. And mine now responds much better to new products when I do mix it up.
I like to use natural things. I drink loads and loads of water, but don't really take vitamin supplements, which I probably should seeing as I'm a vegetarian. I truly believe that generally staying positive and happy, and having someone love you makes you feel good and look good.
How do you juggle everything in your busy life?
I drop the ball all the time! I know everyone probably thinks I lead this hugely glamorous life, but I feel guilty every morning when one of my children says, 'Mummy are you going to work today?', and I have to say yes.
I Facetime the children when I'm at work, but my parents and my husband are incredible – they help all the time. They came with me to Disneyland Paris a couple of weeks ago. And Chris is just the most incredible hands-on Dad.
If I'm honest, I enjoy working. I'm definitely a better person because of it. And I want to set a good example to both of my girls -the women in my family have always had a good work ethic. I've had a job since I was 13, so I want my girls to learn about working, earning money and what it can do for you. But I don't really think I juggle, I drop the ball all flipping day to be honest!
(Mugs in mint green and black in Amanda's Bundleberry collection)
How do you like to spend time with your kids when you can?
Me and my kids just hang out – I don't enjoy dollies, but we'll do baking, painting, walking the dogs. They know what I like, so bless their hearts, they always suggest what I'm going to say yes to! They love it when it rains because they know I'll suggest putting a movie on, which they love. And they don't get to watch that much telly. We're just like a normal family.
They both have iPads. Hollie is 5, and she knows how to Facetime my mum, so does that a lot which is so cute! She'll talk to my mum for over an hour!
Lexi has her own iPad, and Chris' old phone, which she's allowed to use but can't make calls or texts on. So we stay in touch through that on WhatsApp. She also has access to a child friendly version Google called Mobichip. It basically means she can't look up anything! They're still of an age where they're innocent and sweet and I can control it. Lexi is off to big school soon, so I'm expecting it to end. But we live in a digital age and we can't shield them from it – you have to go with them on it.
Who is your style inspiration?
I love Jennifer Aniston. I invariably love anything she wears – I think she looks incredible! Reese Witherspoon always looks really cute. Sharon Stone, who is 59, looks bloody amazing too. And Kylie always looks great.
How would you describe your style?
My style is classic. I am daring on BGT, I'll admit! But in life I'll wear things like a white shirt, denim jeans, boots, a blazer. If I have a work meeting to go to I come in in Nike shoes, ripped jeans – it's casual. But I definitely love the classic look. I like to wear clothes that I know I can use the following year too.
Do you like to shop on the high-street?
I buy loads from Zara – which I love, because it means someone else can by it. I love the high street – Topshop, Marks & Spencer. I love L.K Bennet – I do drive-by's there – grab whatever is in the window!
I'm a high street girl! Today I made a really naughty purchase from a posh shop, but I just mix and match. I know I'm going to put it with a Zara top. That's how I like to do it. I know I'll wear the more expensive bits for years to come.
Tell us about your brand new homeware range, BundleBerry…
a homeware range is something I've always wanted to do but never
thought I could. If I'm being honest, my passion is interior design and
it absolutely always has been. Even as a small child I remember going to
B&Q, helping my mum choose wallpaper or quilt covers for my
My husband Chris and I are lucky enough to have a house
in London and the Cotswolds, and I've just slaved over them. They've
been massive projects, and I've chosen everything down to the colour of
the plug sockets.
I'm a bit of a control freak. My husband and I
have come to a lot of compromises – I've mostly always won! Even this
past weekend, Chris took me away and he sat patiently in the lobby as I
stayed for ages taking pictures of the hotel lobby. It was full of
gorgeous vases and sofas I loved the material of.
Chris is brilliant at suggesting things. He's good at adding to what I've done – we're a perfect partnership.

Dutch ministers press ahead with plan for cleaner lifestyle
THE CARETAKER government of the Netherlands is going ahead with a major
effort to cut pollution. The plan has already brought down the country's
ruling coalition (This Week, 13 May). The Dutch are also adamant about pursuing
a plan to cut taxes on cars whose exhausts are cleaner than the EEC requires,
despite opposition from other EEC countries which will intensify when environment
ministers meet this week in Luxembourg.
The Dutch government published details of the wideranging proposals
to reduce pollution at the end of May. Between now and 1994, the country
will spend an extra Pounds sterling 2.2 billion on the environment. Of this,
half will be invested by the private sector. The rest will be paid for from
increased taxes on fuel, manure, pesticides, the collection of rubbish,
and sewers.
The largest budgets, each over Pounds sterling 500 million, are to combat
acid rain and to improve waste disposal. The government says that emissions
of pollutants which cause acid rain must fall by at least 80 per cent 'to
preserve important ecosystems'.
By the year 2000, Dutch consumers will dispose separately of all used
batteries, household chemical wastes, tin, cloth and paper rubbish. The
government also wants consumers to compost half of their organic waste and
drive 15 per cent fewer kilometres in their cars. Increased taxes on fuel
will cost each household about Pounds sterling 10 per month.
The Dutch plan to use taxes on fuel to subsidise improved insulation
and energy efficiency in homes. Increased taxes on diesel fuel should move
goods away from lorries and onto cleaner barges and trains.
The Netherlands will spend an extra Pounds sterling 90 million in its
aid budget to help developing countries to avoid contributing to the greenhouse
effect. It also wants to spend Pounds sterling 80 million on helping to
set up an international climate fund that would transfer clean technology
to developing countries.
Livestock produce one of the country's biggest pollution problems. The
plan calls for the installation of manure-processing plants to handle 20
million tonnes of manure. The government wants to cut emissions to the air
of ammonia by 70 per cent. Ammonia oxidises various pollutants to speed
the formation of acid rain.
There will also be measures to reduce the run-off of fertilisers from
fields into rivers. If farming is not 'clean' by the year 2000, says the
ministry, the country's largest export industry, agricultural production,
may be cut back.
The plan calls for research, largely funded by the chemicals industry,
into cleaner chemical processes, including a reduction of the amount of
chlorine in chlorinated hydrocarbons. The government wants emissions of
benzene, copper and cadmium to fall by at least 60 per cent by 1994.
The Dutch transport ministry plans to start research into 'clean' lorries.
Public transport will run on natural gas or electricity. But the most controversial
plan is to cut taxes on cars equipped with three-way catalytic converters.
Environment ministers of the EEC are expected this week to endorse limits
for pollution in car exhausts that will require the use of catalysts. Sources
in Brussels say France and Britain will not agree to the plan, however,
unless the Dutch give up their tax incentives, which are intended to come
into effect before the EEC regulations and would favour Japanese cars, which
have catalytic converters.

i downloaded it from the deepin os store and the software demands a serial key but i dont have one. plz help me with it
I am not familiar with this Deepin OS store, but if it is a store where you have bought and payed for the Bitwig Studio version, a serial key should be in your Bitwig account. https://www.bitwig.com/en/account/profile.html
If it is not there, then you should add the received serial in your Bitwig account and activate inside your account. The serial should have been received when you bought Bitwig Studio license.

I am searching in the deepin store but I cannot find a Bitwig entry.
I suggest you directly shop it from bitwig.com.
I use it on Ubuntu (currently 19.04) and it is just fantastic. I love it...
The price tag is a bargain for this level of a DAW. Clearly it is not cheap in absolute terms.... It is a professional software.

Pop Up Power Supplies® has provided retractable service units for the Grade I listed Chiswick House. As part of the restoration program to Chiswick House, in London, The Chiswick House and Gardens Trust were looking for a reliable, safe and secure outdoor power source to place within the gardens.
The Trust contacted Pop Up Power Supplies® with their requirements, and after an initial consultation their range of retractable service units were recommended. It was important to the Chiswick House and Gardens Trust that the units would not permanently impact on the beautiful aesthetics of the gardens, while being able to provide a safe source of electricity for the outdoor events they hold throughout the year.
Pop Up Power Supplies® retractable service units were ideal for the needs of the Trust, as the 450kg units are buried out of site beneath the surface of the gardens when not in use. Then when there is an outdoor event within the gardens, the power units are simply raised up out of the ground by turning a removable handle.
The integrated electric outlets provide either a 16A or 32A power supply in both single and three phase sockets, all with RCBO protection. In addition, the units specified at Chiswick House have a robust circular cast iron cover, which protects the units when they are fully retracted.
George Parker, Director at Pop Up Power Supplies®, said: "When Chiswick House and Gardens Trust contacted us requesting an outdoor power supply, I spoke to them about our range of pop up power units. These units are simple to install and only require a small digger to create the opening in the ground. This was important to the Trust as it meant there was minimal disruption to the gardens".

Ride 2
Rating SummaryBased on 28 critic reviews
OpenCritic Rating
Top Critic Average
Critics Recommend
A confused spectacle that fails to promote the idea of a motorcycle game.
Featuring an impressive roster of bikes and tracks, and a broad spectrum of events to participate in, Ride 2 starts out being a bit of a grind, but eventually becomes a very entertaining racing game. Its action might be a little too hardcore to appeal to anyone other than a real motorcycle fan, but if that's you, definitely check it out.
Winning races and earning money to buy bikes just to compete in more races and earn more money was the greatest time trial of all.
An excellent videogame that is outstanding in the driving genre. It features very polished gameplay mechanics and a enormous amount of content. Besides, it has improved greatly its visuals, even though the online mode is still very traditional.
Review in Spanish | Read full review
An encyclopedia of motorcycling, fun to play and developed with passion. The best choice for motorcycle enthusiasts.
Review in Italian | Read full review
Ride 2 has much more content in every possible aspect. However, Milestone has forgotten that the sequels are also to correct and bring something new.
Review in Spanish | Read full review
Ride 2 aims to be the two-wheeled equivalent of Gran Turismo, but makes too many mistakes that leave it trailing behind the pack.
Ride 2 is far from perfect, it has flaws with both the visuals and, more importantly, the AI. However, the AI isn't always bad and it doesn't stop the game from being enjoyable. What helps the game is that it has such a huge roster of bikes, extensive customization options and a variety of tracks and race types to experience.
Despite the addition of more bikes and tracks, not much has changed since the first RIDE, so those who come back for seconds will probably feel a bit of déjà vu when playing. Repetition can creep in, as well, but at least the game won't feel quite as monotonous because of the better load times. If bikes are for you, or you're a novice who wants to jump in, then RIDE 2 will give you some enjoyment.
RIDE 2 is a game for motorcycle enthusiasts without question. However, it's a game that is lacking in excitement for the material it covers. There's a great amount of content and production values, but not a whole lot of hook to the gameplay to keep you drawn in. While die-hard motorcycle racing enthusiasts may find some enjoyment, few else will be enticed.

Axion Dark Matter from Inflation to Galaxy Formation
28 May 2014
Time: 4:30pm
Venue: Maths 103
I will discuss axions as dark matter candidates; in particular light axions with large decay constants as motivated by string theory. If the recent BICEP measurement of B-modes in the CMB is taken to indicate tensor perturbations from inflation, the large energy scales necessary induce large axion isocurvature perturbations. In order that these perturbations are not in conflict with Planck adiabaticity constraints, generalised axions must be sub-dominant in dark matter, while the QCD axion with large decay constant is completely ruled out. I will present these constraints and demonstrate how they are complimentary over a wide range of parameter space, spanning ~15 orders of magnitude in axion mass, with other constraints, in particular those from large scale structure and the CMB temperature and lensing. In large scale structure, light axions provide an elegant solution to the "small-scale crises" of CDM. I will review this solution, and how it is distinct from, and preferable to, a WDM solution. If axions do play a role in structure formation (or indeed in laboratory processes), we have an opportunity to search for them in a manner independent from the inflationary interpretation of BICEP, and thus evidence for or against their existence can help to confirm or refute this paradigm. In this direction, I will present preliminary results on a wide range of cosmological constraints to ultra-light axions.

Chinese fruits may be losing shelf space in supermarkets across Vietnam, but they are still dominating the carts of street vendors, many of whom pass the products off as home-grown. From January to May, Vietnam spent nearly US$278 million on fruit and vegetable imports, up 48 percent against the same period last year, according to customs data. In Ho Chi Minh City, Chinese apples have been driven out by apples from France, New Zealand, Belgium, and particularly the U.S…Full Article: Tuoi Tre News June 2016
Key Points
- According to the Chairman of Saigon Co.opmart, Vietnam's largest supermarket chain, Chinese fruits are no longer sold on their store shelves.
- In general, across Vietnam, Chinese apples, grapes, and oranges are becoming less popular items on Vietnamese supermarket shelves. In addition, Chinese fruit are reportedly being sold as Vietnamese produce (e.g. 'Hanoi, Son La plums' and 'Sa Pa peaches,') by street vendors.
ChinaAg Comment
- In June 2014, Vietnam's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development notified China's AQSIQ that shipments of lime, grape, persimmon, apple, turnip, mandarin, carrot and orange were contaminated with high levels of pesticide residue (e.g. Propargite on oranges). The contaminated fruit and vegetable imports arrived from Guangxi Region, Yunnan Province, and Shanghai.

This bestselling work has introduced tens of thousands of clinicians to mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for depression MBCT , an eight-week program with proven effectiveness. Step by step, the authors explain the "whys" and "how-tos" of conducting mindfulness practices and cognitive interventions that have been shown to bolster recovery from depression and prevent relapse. Clinicians are also guided to develop their own mindfulness practice, an essential prerequisite to teaching others. The companion Web page features downloadable audio recordings of the meditations and more than 40 reproducible handouts that book purchasers can download and print in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size.
New to This Edition:
• Incorporates a decade's worth of developments in MBCT clinical practice and training.• Chapters on additional treatment components: the pre-course interview and optional full-day retreat.• Chapters on self-compassion, the inquiry process, and the three-minute breathing space.• Findings from multiple studies of MBCT's effectiveness and underlying mechanisms. Includes studies of adaptations for treating psychological and physical health problems other than depression.• Audio files of the guided mindfulness practices, narrated by the authors, on two separate Web pages—one for professionals, together with the reproducibles, and one just for clients.
"MBCT is a major achievement. Based on a coherent body of experimental work, the treatment has proven its worth in reducing the recurrence of depression and, as a consequence, changing the future prospects of numerous people whose lives are blighted by repeated episodes of this disabling condition. This second edition will be widely welcomed by practitioners; every chapter has been updated and numerous new practical aids have been added, including downloadable practice exercises and handouts. Thoroughly recommended."
—David M. Clark, DPhil, Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Oxford, United Kingdom
"Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Depression is the gold standard for anyone who wants to learn this powerful approach. The second edition brings this classic up to date, making it the state-of-the-art guide for therapists and students alike."
—Daniel Goleman, PhD, author of Emotional Intelligence
"I love this book. More than a book, actually, it is a trusted friend. If you are dedicated to helping vulnerable people stay well and protect themselves from future episodes of depression, you will find what you need here. The program is grounded in rigorous clinical research, sound theory, and an unwavering conviction about the possibility of learning to live each moment fully and wisely. The core building blocks from the first edition remain—step-by-step descriptions of each session, including transcripts, handouts, and rich case illustrations—but there are countless new treasures as well. The themes of many of the sessions have been refined in ways that bring the curriculum even closer to the lived experience of people struggling with recurrent depression. This book stands as an exemplar of how to integrate clinical innovation, science, and practice."
—Sona Dimidjian, PhD, Department of Psychology and Neuroscience, University of Colorado Boulder
"What began as a thoughtful new approach to treating depression over a decade ago has since changed the face of cognitive therapy. In this truly outstanding second edition, the authors offer crystal-clear instructions for teaching the MBCT program. Important new chapters have been added on embodying compassion and practicing inquiry in the teaching process. The authors review the impressive research on MBCT and offer reflections on how it actually works. Clinicians of all theoretical orientations and levels of experience will discover insights and practical skills that can have a vital impact on how they practice psychotherapy."
—Christopher Germer, PhD, private practice, Arlington, Massachusetts
"Superb! The authors describe their evidence-based maintenance therapy for depression in great detail, while telling an engrossing (and well-referenced) story of how they developed their approach. Fascinating reading."
—Ricardo F. Muñoz, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Clinical Psychology, Palo Alto University
"A defining resource in the burgeoning arena of mindfulness-based therapies. The second edition incorporates new evidence from both clinical trials and neuroscientific studies of the mind, continuing the story of discovery of the mindfulness path out of chronic depression. Presented is up-to-date conceptual and clinical material that reflects the experience and wisdom of the authors, their colleagues, and the many individuals who have benefited from MBCT. As a graduate textbook for a course on either major depression or psychotherapeutic uses of meditation, this volume illustrates the theory and application of mindfulness-based approaches in an elegant and always readable manner."
—Jean L. Kristeller, PhD, Department of Psychology, Indiana State University
"Warmly written, accessible, and deeply insightful. This landmark book has played a key role in making mindfulness a central concern in clinical practice. The up-to-date second edition not only summarizes the extraordinary expansion of research evidence, but also is immensely practical and filled with clinical wisdom. Important, too, is its emphasis on compassion. A 'must' for all therapists interested in mindfulness."
—Paul Gilbert, PhD, Head, Mental Health Research Unit, University of Derby, United Kingdom

Visit your local home improvement or discount store, and you will find a large selection of sprays, pellets, and applications for your home?s pest management needs. While these products may be effective at deterring or killing pests, they contain toxic chemicals that are too harsh to have in your home and around your children and pests. Thankfully, safer alternatives are available. Here are a few kid-friendly, healthy, and effective options to rid your home of pests.
Basic Pest Repellent Spray
A basic?can of bug spray is useful in a variety of situations. Douse your home with this safe and natural spray to repel ants, cockroaches, and spiders or spray around your outdoor living area to deter mosquitoes and protect your skin from annoying bites. You can also spray this solution directly on clothing to repel bugs.
In a spray bottle, combine 2 ounces of witch hazel with 2 ounces of distilled water. Then, add 20 to 25 drops of your favorite essential oil to the bottle. This is the recommended amount of oil for use around children three years of age and older. If you are using the spray on adults, add 40 to 50 drops of essential oils.
Peppermint, rosemary, citronella, and lemongrass are all great essential oils to consider. These oils may be appealing to humans, but insects find the aromas rather unappetizing.
Before applying the spray to your home or clothes, make sure to shake the bottle. Shaking will ensure the oils mix into the witch hazel and water solution.
Other Pest Management Recipes
Many essential oils deter pests. However, some essential oils work better than others in pest deterrence?and protection.
For a safe and effective solution that is great for children and adults, combine the following oils in your spray bottle:
- 15 drops of lemongrass
- 15 drops of eucalyptus
- 20 drops of citronella
A mixture containing 20 drops of lavender, 20 drops of lemongrass, and ten drops of peppermint also works well.
You can also consider using 20 drops rosemary, 20 drops cedarwood, and ten drops of peppermint essential oils in your spray bottle.
There are numerous oil combinations to use around your home. Essential oils will not affect your breathing, skin, or harm your children or pets in any way.
You can rid your home and outdoor area of pests without toxic chemicals. To learn more about safe, effective pest management that is pet and kid-friendly, contact the professionals from Safe Pro Pest in Frisco, TX at (972) 435-0700.

ALERT - Veterinary Scam
The following has recently come to the attention of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Diversion Control Division:
Fort Dodge Animal Health (FDAH) in Ft. Dodge, Iowa, has recently learned of a possible scam targeting veterinary hospitals. A letter was sent to a veterinary office advising the doctor that there may be possible side effects associated with the use of 1999-2002 batches of Ketaset®.
According to the letter, FDAH is monitoring all cases involving the side effects resulting from the drug. The letter stated a recall was being issued for the following controlled substances:
- Ketaset Ketalar® (ketamine hydrochloride injection, USP), 50mg/ml in 10 ml vials
- Ketaset Ketalar® (ketamine hydrochloride injection, USP), 100mg/ml in 5 ml vials
- Ketaset® (ketamine hydrochloride injection, USP), 100mg/ml in 10 ml vials
Respondents to the letter were asked to provide their full name, place of practice, and the batch numbers and year(s) of the product. Upon receipt of this information, the physician was informed that further instructions would be provided. No further contact has been made at this time.
An official at FDAH verified that they have not authorized a recall of Ketaset®, and that this appears to be a hoax. The intent of this scam is unknown. It may be a way to determine the quantity of Ketaset® a registrant has at his/her location as a possible target for robbery, or may be a way to obtain the product through a phony recall.
If you have received a notice of this type, please contact your local DEA Diversion Field Office. Contact telephone numbers for local DEA Offices are located on DEA's Diversion Control Program Internet website, under the "Contact Us" heading.
The diversion of any controlled substance is a serious social and health-related problem in the United States. Always safeguard your personal and professional data. Always verify the need and authority of unusual requests for information.

Here is a common question, appearing in many formats. One version runs as follows: I see Amazon gift cards on eBay right now that are selling for more than the value of the card. Why is this? l don't get it. If I go to the Amazon web site, I pay the card's face value to buy a gift card. If I go to Wal-Mart, I pay ten dollars for a ten dollar card, so I don't understand why people will pay a premium on eBay, and buy the same card for over its value?
This has me stumped. I know of people donating their gift cards for disadvantaged kids, and I know of people buying their gift cards on the cheap from the second-hand market. (The websites Plastic Jungle, ABC Gift Cards and CardCash, among others, spring to mind.) But for people to pay out more than the value of the gift card? Hey, we can really make it big! We can sell our $20 gift cards for $25, then buy a $25 one and sell for $30 and before you know it, we will be looking into some nice beachfront property. Something tells me this ain't for real…
My Theory:
Let me suggest my theory. It's not fancy nor does it dabble in conspiracies, but it's all I came up with; Perhaps these bidders are using automatic software that ups the bid. It could be that they are in cahoots with the seller, or that they ARE the seller, and their object is to maximize the bidding. However since the automated software cannot differentiate between some object of indeterminate value and a gift card with an obviously limited value, this ridiculous scenario ensues.
What Happens When these Guys Win?
The question in my mind is what happens when they win the auction, and win it they certainly will, – because no one in their right mind will outbid them – do they need to pay what they bid? Is this perhaps a business model; Buy gift cards in low demand and resell it on eBay for the full face value or more?
Rolling up my sleeves, I tried to get to the bottom of this. I found that it's common that gift cards sell for over their value. And that the reasons are both legitimate and non legitimate. A good reason can be someone too lazy to go out to a store. They will overpay to save on the gas costs and the bother. Other people want to get the money out of an account that does not allow them easy access. A PayPal account that has no bank account attached is a good example of someone who might use gift cards as a way of extracting their money from their account.
Less legit is that drug runners and terrorist groups looking for ways to transfer money incognito will use gift cards – ten thousand dollars' worth at a time – as a harmless-seeming venue to do so. They will buy up these cards as a monetary vehicle. At the border the officials might ask you how much money you have with you, but do they investigate the gift cards in your wallet? And they will pay a premium if need be, to be able to get the transfer.
What is especially unsettling is the scammer schemes. Some people will bid $120 on a $100 gift card because they never intend to pay. They will put in a valid credit card, and claim either to never have received the card or that is had been used up already. eBay will typically refund the buyer. Now the buyer has the goods, and there is little you can do to prove that the card you shipped was unused.
What To Do:
What can you do about this? In essence, the eBay experience is predicated on trust. If a buyer or seller abuses their position, they will lose the ability to trade on that platform. Therefore, you need to examine if the person would care about that. Look at the amount of feedback the buyer has and if it is all positive. If they have done business a while on eBay they are less likely to jeopardize their ratings for a few bucks. In addition, their good track record also supports the trust you can have in them. Someone new overbidding, however, is suspect. Also, try getting eBay insurance to cover a chargeback, and implement as many security mechanisms as they afford you.

This article is from the Model Rockets FAQ, by Wolfram von Kiparski with numerous contributions by others.
Again, as far as we can tell, there are no rules which define maximum sizes,
weights, total impulses etc. Most model rockets that can be bought from model
shops will take a maximum of 3 D-Class Estes motors, either clustered or
multistaged. There appears not to be an equivalent of an FAA Waiver for
launching rockets greater than a defined maximum. However, all of the HPR
enthusiasts I know do contact the CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) if they
wish to launch over approximately 3000ft.

The Rayman Origins Concept Artist Helps Create Red Story
A new platform runner is on the way this summer and it is one to watch out for. Floriane Marchix, who was the concept artist for Rayman Origins, has worked with the company From Paris Entertainment on the project.
A trailer has been released for Red Story and it looks awesome. Take a peek for yourself and if you cannot see the video, just click here:
Running at lightning speed, swinging from a rope, dodging dangerous enemies, and maneuvering around wild obstacles, make this game look like an action-packed adventure. With the apparent story of "Little Red Riding Hood" fueling the upcoming game, it should be an interesting one.
The wicked enemies like snapping plants and spiky creatures look viciously cool and the interaction with the environment should make things even more enjoyable, if not challenging.
We have not heard of an official date, except that the game will be released in July, as shown in the promotional image above from the game's official Facebook page. So, be sure to check back with AppAdvice for news and updates on the launch as well as other game details as we receive them.
What are your thoughts on the trailer? Are you as excited about Red Story as we are?

The International Red Cross Reached Out To ISIS
Just as President Obama made a rare statement from the Oval Office on how the U.S. plans to destroy ISIS, one organization reached out to the terrorist organization with a higher goal in mind. In an interview with Agence France-Presse published Sunday, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Director-General Yves Daccord said that the International Red Cross reached out to ISIS about sending humanitarian aid to the millions of people living under its control. While the majority of the world is bent on fighting the group with no mercy, the ICRC's fearless attempt to establish a relationship with them reminds us of a more important goal: helping those who suffer. It's a move which illustrates what being humanitarian truly means.
While it might seem outrageous to engage a group like ISIS for any reason whatsoever, the ICRC's mission transcends any political or ideological boundaries, for the sake of saving lives. In the interview, Daccord stressed his organization's "non-partisan" stance on highly politicized issues:
An actor like the ICRC, what we have to do is we really have to be absolutely, deeply humanitarian. No social agenda, no change agenda ... You might have an opinion, but that's not the problem.
So what is the most significant problem, then?
We have a very clear humanitarian vision. First, what we see is 10 million people. Ten million people under the control of the Islamic State group. We are interested in these 10 million people ... What happens to them? What are their problems? This is what will guide us.
Daccord says that in order to give them humanitarian aid, the ICRC must first overcome the challenge of gaining access:
In Syria, we have no ability to access some of these places ... It's too dangerous for us. We have not been able to establish the link.
Its humanitarian operations have been a little easier in Iraq, but the Red Cross still lacks a "permanent presence" in ISIS-controlled territories. The ICRC ultimately aims to work "in close proximity" with those who need assistance, and in order to do that, they must "talk to everybody."
We are, of course, looking at building a relationship.
Daccord's views are perhaps the truest embodiment of humanitarianism. Not only is the ICRC rising above the global war on terror to focus on the people whose suffering at the hands of extremists is the ultimate reason we fight — an impetus that is often forgotten in political discussions on terrorism — but these humanitarian aid workers also continue to risk their lives for their mission. The world has watched in horror as ISIS killed aid workers Alan Henning, Peter Kassig, Kayla Mueller, and David Haines over the last year. But fear has not deterred workers from continuing to head to the front lines.
According to Daccord, an unprecedented 49 volunteers with the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (the Syrian arm of the ICRC) have been killed in Syria in recent years. Despite this, the organization is still sending and recruiting volunteers to help the people in its war-torn regions. The ICRC's Syria page reads:
The humanitarian situation in Syria is catastrophic and deteriorating day by day. The people are facing a bitter winter ahead and they have very few resources.
As the ICRC prepares to meet for its conference in Geneva this week to discuss the increasing challenges imposed by groups like ISIS, the organization can at least rest assured knowing that it has never wavered in its humanitarian mission or values since its first convention in 1864.

Results 1 to 3 of 3
Thread: Neighborhood Grocery Stores
Neighborhood Grocery Stores
I grew up on Northwest 35th Street near North Pennsylvania Avenue. My father built the home we lived in in 1950.
I was just thinking of all the small, family owned and operated grocery stores near my home.
There was Bridge's Grocery on North Blackwelder Avenue between Northwest 33rd and 34th streets,
Bash's Grocery which was located on North Florida Avenue between Northwest 32nd and 33rd Streets and Shadid's Grocery which was on North Indiana Avenue between Northwest 37th and 38th Street.
A BIG trip involved driving to Camp's Grocery located on Northwest 25th Street, just west of Classen Boulevard or the I.G.A. located on Northwest 36th Street at North Young Avenue.
Then the Humpty Dumpty and other large super markets moved into the area and the small grocery stores began to disappear.
I also remember being sent to Bridge's Grocery for bread or milk or some other small needed item and signing the sales slip and my father would go every Friday at lunch time and pay the weekly bill.
Great memories and a great place to grow up.

Re: Neighborhood Grocery Stores
Oh Lord yes! I went to Irene's several times a week while a student at OCU. Irene's introduced this small town 19 year old kid to the delights of a fresh hot onion bagel with lox & cream cheese. Irene's was a mighty fine little establishment.
There was an Italian restaurant, a few blocks north that I'd eat at once or twice a week. Tonys Italian Specialty's. Fantastic food!

There was a time not very far back when drones used to sound like fiction, the gadgets from Bond Movies where 007 would use them for some bizarre spying adventures just before a break-in. However, the gadgets from the movies of yesterday are a reality of today. From real-life action to fun, drones are being used for everything and they are available in all shapes and sizes, for all intents and purposes.
If you are thinking of getting the first drone for yourself then before you spring up with excitement for the shopping spree it would be better to consider the uses in which you can put that drone as the market is wide and variations in price, quality and performance are unbelievable and hence a little bit of homework will save a lot of disappointment for you.
7 Important Guides To Buy Best Drone
When buying anything there are 7 most important guides, the budget, the use, and the required specifications, everything in the same order as changing the order can cause problems.
The Budget- Extent It Permits
For new drone enthusiasts, the best advice would be to start low. It takes skill, practice, and perseverance for learning anything. This isn't going to be your last drone so, for flying practice and expected accidents, it is always advisable to start with a low-key drone. You can keep promoting yourself with better drones after improvements in your skill and won't lose much money in the process.
What Do You Want From It
You will have to clearly make up your mind about the uses in which you are going to put this drone because it will matter to a great extent. If you are just going to fly it lightly, then even in the low budget you can get a better deal, however, if you will mount a camera for flying it then its capacity to fly may decrease. The best quad copter drone may be the ideal choice for your needs.
Specifications: What You'll Get
This will depend upon the mixture of both the points discussed above. The budget and the use of the drone will directly affect the specifications of the drone you will be purchasing. So, considering the ultimate use in which you are going to put the drone and you can decide the specifications.
Understand The Flying Difficulty Level Beforehand
Flying anything is a difficult job as you have to control something on which another stronger force 'air' is also acting simultaneously. To add salt to injury, if your drone is not very easy to fly then the crash landings would increase. To gauge the difficulty level if you are just starting out.
Flying Time– Short Flights Of Fancy
How long would you want the fun to last is something you will have to decide and then adjust to it. The drones run on battery power and the batteries don't last much longer. So, the higher amount of weight of cameras you put on the drone the shorter its flight time would become. The lighter you fly it, the longer the flight would last. However, in any case, it is going to be in minutes.
You Will Need To Get Registration
That's Correct! It's not the license but the government would like to know who is up to mischievous jobs. However, toy drones below 250 grams are free from this regulation and hence most probably you wouldn't need it on your first flight. If your drone is heavier than that then you must register it. Registration cost is nominal in single digits whereas the penalties range in thousands of dollars.
Do You Have The Place To Fly It
You will need to find a good open space to try your flights uninterrupted. It is also very important so that you can even supervise some of your initial crash landings.
Do not try to be James Bond
Although if you are following the above point of flying the drone in large open spaces then this point is redundant for you but still keep it as a point of advice that never use drones to invade the privacy of others as these small adventures can lead you into big troubles.
