He is his nominees keeper: This morning, the Posts Philip Rucker compares two communities. Sonia Sotomayor grew up in one, Jeff Sessions in the other. Were always sad when people build exclusionary frameworks like this:
RUCKER (6/3/09): If Sotomayor's America is the South Bronx in New York, then Sessions's is Hybart, Ala. The two locales couldn't be more different. Sotomayor chased her dreams as a Latina in the city projects, playing loteria, a card game, with neighborhood kids. She once bragged about her cultural taste in food as a young lady, eating such delicacies as pig intestines, pigs' feet with beans, and pigs' tongue and ears.
Sessions, meanwhile, came of age in a vast, bucolic land. He grew up in a modest country house and went hunting and fishing. He worked with his father around the general store the family owned. Every bit the good Alabama boy, Sessions became an Eagle Scout just before enrolling at Huntingdon College, a small Methodist school in nearby Montgomery.
Really? Those two locales couldnt be more different? Were always sad when people slide into such frameworks. Can we really not see any similarities? Oops. A few grafs later, Rucker offered this:
RUCKER: Sessions said the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew books and the TV show "Dragnet" inspired him to become a lawyer. (Sotomayor, too, cites Nancy Drew novels as an inspiration.)
I see myself in others, Obama says. That said, our brains are hard-wired to accentuate tribal difference. We hope Sessions acquits himself well in his upcoming task. But of one thing we can be sure: The senator and the nominee have many things in common.
Can we see ourselves in others? Reading Rucker, we thought of a column written by Laura Ingalls Wilder in September 1921, presumably in the Missouri Ruralist. (Headline: Are You Your Childrens Confidant? From this book.) As she started, Wilder imagined herself two different ways. For the record, Wilders daughter, Rose Wilder Lane, was a well-known international journalist:
WILDER (9/21): A letter from my mother, who is seventy-six years old, lies on my desk beside a letter from my daughter far away in Europe. Reading the message from my mother, I am a child again and a longing unutterable fills my heart for Mothers counsel, for the safe haven of her protection and the relief from responsibility which trusting in her judgment always gave me.
But when I turn to the letter written by my daughter, who will always be a little girl to me no matter how old she grows, then I understand and appreciate my mothers position and her feelings toward me.
Many of us have the blessed privilege of being at the same time mother and child, able to let the one interpret the other to us until our understanding of both is full and rich. What is there in the attitude of your children toward yourself that you wish could be different? Search your heart and learn if your ways toward your own mother could be improved.
In the light of experience and the test of the years, can you see how your mother might have bene more to you, could have guided you better? Then be sure you are making the most of your privileges with the children who are looking to you for love and guidance.
Wilder could see herself two different ways. Can Sessions see himself in Sotomayor? Sotomayor in him? Well guess they see more than Ruckers passage suggests. We hope each emerges enhanced from the discussions to come.
By the way: Watching tape last night, we saw our own mother in Nancy Reagan, tottering on Obamas arm.
Special report: Broken trail!
Part 3Round up the unusual suspects: How unimpressive is our most hapless elite? Consider part of the discussion on last Sundays Chris Matthews Show.
At issue was Judge Sotomayors decision in the New Haven firefighters casethe decision she reached as part of a unanimous three-judge circuit court panel. (The full circuit court voted narrowly, 7-6, not to reconsider this panels judgment.) The case has now gone before the Supreme Court. Smart money says the Court will reverse.
What follows is part of Sundays discussion, Helene Cooper and Mark Whitaker participating. The pundits seem troubled by a troubling thought: If the Supreme Court reverses the panels decision, wont that mean Sotomayor was wrong?
MATTHEWS (5/31/09): OK. Mark and Helene, what happens if the U.S. Supreme Court reverses her decision at the appellate level and says, No, this was an unfair case where there was some reverse discrimination against these white firefighters? You're wrong. Can the Senate Judiciary Committee then smoothly go along and say, Yeah, but we're putting you on the Court having your decision reversed? This could well happen this time.
WHITAKER: Well, first of all, I think it's hard to have a huge debate about a case that's already decided by the Supreme Court. But again, I think, she's gonna have a chance to explain herself, and the fact that she didn't write an opinion in overturningor upholding the district court ruling means that it would just depend on how she does before the Senate in the confirmation hearing.
COOPER: But this puts her on the defensive. Because, if the Supreme Court does overturn her decision, as so many people think that they will, she's gonna look as if she got it wrongand that's gonna be sitting there, right there.
Shes gonna look as if she got it wrong? On what planet do these strange creatures feed?
Its entirely possible that the Court will reverse the New Haven decision narrowlyby a 5-4 vote. Will that mean that the Courts four dissenters got it wrongthat they should perhaps leave the Court in disgrace? In fact, courts split on such cases all the time; no one except an upper-end pundit is so unsophisticated as to assume that the five-vote majority must surely be right, and the four-vote minority must therefore be wrong. No one actually thinks that wayexcept the slumbering, withered minds which comprise our celebrity press corps.
(We know: The pundits only said it might look that way. But no one offered any of the obvious points which likely would have occurred to anyone else on the planet.)
Our mainstream press corps is very unimpressive. In their reactions to Sotomayors nomination last week, they seemed intent on proving this point. Consider one part of Charles Krauthammers column in last Fridays Washington Post.
Krauthammer wrote about the New Haven case (the Ricci case), which he thinks has bene wrongly decided. At one point, he made a claim which had been widely parroted ever since Sotomayors nomination was announced:
KRAUTHAMMER (5/29/09): Sotomayor was a member of the three-member circuit court panel that upheld the dismissal of [Frank Riccis] case, thus denying Ricci his promotion.
This summary ruling deeply disturbed fellow members of Sotomayor's court, including Judge José Cabranes (a fellow Clinton appointee), who, writing for five others, criticized the unusual, initially unpublished, single-paragraph dismissal for ignoring the serious constitutional issues at stake.
Two things are sure to happen this summer: The Supreme Court will overturn Sotomayor's panel's ruling. And, barring some huge hidden scandal, Sotomayor will be elevated to that same Supreme Court.
As so many others had already done, Krauthammer criticized the unusual way Sotomayors three-judge panel had issued an unpublished summary ruling. Two days later, George Will would essentially mouth the same accusation on ABCs This Week:
WILL (5/31/09): In the New Haven fireman case, however, the accusation is not just that she came to a perverse conclusion, or affirmed a perverse conclusion...The accusation goes beyond that, which is that the three-judge panel on the Second Circuit, that in a most perfunctory, cursory, indeed unsigned way affirmed the lower court's judgment, did so in a perverse way that seemed to be trying to slip one by a majority of the Second Circuit.
Will didnt use the word unusual, but the claim was implied. But by now, the charge that Sotomayors panel had done something unusual had largely been set in stone. And it wasnt just conservative pundits who had fueled the theory that Sotomayor had done something unusualand, perhaps, sneakyin issuing that short, unsigned opinion. At Slate, Emily Bazelon had instantly embraced the notion, in a piece entitled The Sotomayor Mystery. Bazelons entire article sought to answer a sub-headlined question: Why didn't she explain herself in this year's big race case? Needless to say, Slate readers were told that the unsigned opinion was unusual:
BAZELON (5/26/09): The district court judge who heard Ricci's case ruled against him and his fellow plaintiffs. They appealed to the 2nd Circuit, the court on which Judge Sotomayor sits. In an unusual short and unsigned opinion, a panel of three judges, including Sotomayor, adopted the district court judge's ruling without adding their own analysis. As Judge Jose Cabranes put it, in protesting this ruling later in the appeals process, "Indeed, the opinion contains no reference whatsoever to the constitutional claims at the core of this case. ...This perfunctory disposition rests uneasily with the weighty issues presented by this appeal.
If Sotomayor and her colleagues were trying to shield the case from Supreme Court review, her punt had the opposite effect. It drew Cabranes' ire, and he hung a big red flag on the case, which the Supreme Court grabbed. The court heard argument in Ricci in April. New Haven didn't fare well.
Bazelon said the short, unsigned opinion was unusual; she too suggested that the three-judge panel was trying to pull something slick. But then, this anti-Sotomayor talking-point had already been bruited so widely that even Ruth Marcus, in a generally pro-Sotomayor piece, raised the same point the next day in the Washington Post:
MARCUS (5/27/09): I'm skeptical of the initial critiques of Sotomayorwith a few caveats. One involves the New Haven, Conn., firefighters case. Im not so much concerned about Sotomayors position as I am about the summary way the three-judge panel on which she sat handled the case, not even bothering to write an opinion despite the importance of the question involved.
Sotomayors panel didnt even bother to write an opinion, Marcus said in her piece. On that same day, Will thundered his view in his own Post column. And uh-oh! Will quoted the hapless Stuart Taylor, a major player in DC whenever legal points need to be bungled:
WILL (5/27/09): Before Sotomayor's confirmation hearings begin, the Supreme Court probably will overturn a ruling she supported on the 2nd Circuitthe propriety of New Haven, Conn., canceling fire department promotions because there were no African Americans (although there was a Hispanic) among the 18 firemen the selection test made eligible for promotion. A three-judge panel of 2nd Circuit judges, including Sotomayor, affirmed a district court's dismissal of the firemen's complaint, doing so in a perfunctory and unpublished order that acknowledged none of the large constitutional questions involved.
Stuart Taylor of the National Journal calls this "a process so peculiar as to fan suspicions that some or all of the judges were embarrassed by the ugliness of the actions that they were blessing and were trying to sweep the case quietly under the rug, perhaps to avoid Supreme Court review or public criticism, or both." Taylor says that when "the circuit's more conservative judges got wind of the case," they sought to have it reheard by the full 2nd Circuit. They failed but successfully argued that the Supreme Court should take the case.
Where did this persistent claim start? Were not going to research that question. But Taylors thundering surely played a key role in the spread of the theme. Will was quoting Taylors column of May 1a column for which Taylor formally apologized just four days later. (To review the full package, click here.) On May 5, Taylor withdrew two different claims he had made in the May 1 piece. But his claim about that peculiar process was allowed to standand it steadily spread. (For the record, Taylor had initially made the claim Will quoted in a piece in December 2008. He then quoted himself on May 1.)
For whatever reason, Taylor felt he had to apologize for several parts of his May 1 column. In a more rational world, this might make other observers wonder about the gentlemans judgment; it might make such observers proceed a bit slowly in adopting his other derogatory claims about Sotomayor. But that would be a rational world; were discussing the world of the upper-end press corps. Three weeks after Taylors apology, Will was still quoting Taylors claimand the claim was being widely parroted in the mainstream press.
One thing never occurred to these people. It never seemed to occur to anyone to fact-check the claim in questionto see if Taylors claim was actually right or wrong. Was there really something unusual about the use of that short, unsigned opinion? Luckily, it did occur to Tom Goldstein to check. Last week, he fact-checked the spreading claim for his site, SCOTUSblog.
Last Friday afternoon, Goldstein posted his findings. According to Goldstein, the second circuit routinely decides such cases in the manner which had fanned poor Taylors suspicions. There was nothing unusual about that short statement, the gentleman saidhaving checked:
GOLDSTEIN (5/29/09): I also looked at whether there was anything nefarious in the failure of the Ricci panel to publish a substantial opinion. From the pool of 50, the panel affirmed a district courts decision rejecting a claim of employment discrimination or retaliation (as in Ricci) 28 times; it did so by unpublished order in 24. Whatever one thinks of the argument that the issues in Ricci deserved more attention than the panel gave them, the decision not to publish an opinion seems to have been pretty commonplace.
You might think that three-judge panel was wrong in its judgment. You might think they should have proceeded differently. But it seems there was nothing unusual in their use of that short, unsigned opinion.
Lets review the history here. Taylor first lodged his charge way back in Decemberand it hadnt occurred to him, in the months since, to do the simple fact-checking Goldstein performed last week. His suspicions had been fannedand so he began to trumpet. And uh-oh! Because Taylor is a Big Man on Campus in DC, his unchecked suspicion spread like a weed. Indeed, two days after Goldstein posted his findings, Will was still reciting it sweetly, in his appearance on This Week. It was left to his overworked host to introduce a few basic facts:
WILL (5/31/09): In the New Haven fireman case, however, the accusation is not just that she came to a perverse conclusion, or affirmed a perverse conclusion...The accusation goes beyond that, which is that the three-judge panel on the Second Circuit, that in a most perfunctory, cursory, indeed unsigned way affirmed the lower court's judgment, did so in a perverse way that seemed to be trying to slip one by a majority of the Second Circuit.
STEPHANOPOULOS: It's interesting that, that that SCOTUSblogTom Goldstein has also looked at that question and says it's not that exceptional in these kinds of cases. I think he says 24 out of 28 times there have been unsigned opinions.
Fairness and sanity called for those facts. But as weve long told you: Facts play a remarkably limited role in the culture of the upper-end press corps. In the upper-end press corps, a suspicion will pop into somebodys head. And thunder will roll on the land.
Final point: For us, this was as especially frustrating matter last week because of a comment to a web posta comment we read last Wednesday. When that three-judge panel offered that unsigned opinion, had they really done something unusual? Last Wednesday, Hilzoy summarized the Ricci case (click here). That same day, a commenter added this:
COMMENTER (5/27/09): I would just like to add one small detail to the storya procedural thing that I'm more familiar with as a lawyer in the Second Circuit. Some people on the web seem to be criticizing Judge Sotomayor not for how the three-judge panel she was on resolved Ricci, but rather, for the fact that they just did it in a short paragraph instead of writing a full opinion. This criticism is very misguided. Not uncommonly, the Second Circuit judges on an appellate panel decide that the District Court judge has done an excellent job, and therefore conclude that nothing is gained by having them essentially rewrite all the reasoning that is already set out in detail by the lower court. So, they do a short paragraph, and in effect just incorporate by reference the reasoning of the trial judge. (It's a feather in the cap of the trial judge when it happensit means they did an particularly good job.) That is what happened here. It happens all the time. One conservative judge on the court, Jose Cabranes, decided to make a stink about how his colleagues had given the case short shrift. He was well aware that Sotomayor and her panel were not doing anything unusual; he just wanted to prompt his colleagues and/or the Supreme Court to take a closer look at the case. (He succeeded: the Court granted cert.) The allegation that Sotomayor and the other judges on the panel were trying to "bury" or ignore the issues in this case is wholly without connection to reality.
To us, that had the smell of truthalthough, of course, we couldnt be sure. But heres the point: We read this in a comment to a blog post, even as the mainstream pundit corps slumbering ninnies kept trumpeting Taylors suspicion. Five months had passed since Taylor first thundered. And no one had fact-checked his claim.
Two days after we read that comment, Goldstein posted his findings. But so what? Two days after that, Will was still reciting the script. To his credit, Stephanopoulos knew the relevant factsand mentioned the facts on the fly.
Your culture has rolled this way for decades:
An utterly hapless D-plus elite will get some cockeyed thought in its head. The thought spreads about at cocktail parties; many halfwits start to repeat it. It occurs to no one to fact-check the claim; your mainstream press corps loves narrative, is bored by mere fact. The thought is recited until its iconic. This is the way your press rolls.
For many people, its very hard to come to terms with what this says about this elite. We rarely speak frankly about this small gang. Tomorrow, well ask ourselves why.

Most asylum seekers arrive in the United States with few possessions and a complex legal case. For many, making it to the United States means safety from persecution, torture, and sometimes death. But with their arrival in America, asylum seekers also face a new odyssey as they attempt to navigate complex U.S. immigration laws and an increasingly restrictive environment that bars many bona fide asylum seekers from obtaining protection. These challenges include:
- Summary removal procedures that frequently result in asylum seekers being denied the chance to seek asylum because of quick proceedings that lack due process.
- Prolonged detention of asylum seekers. Despite an ICE policy directive issued in 2009 that supports releasing asylum seekers who pass an initial screening, many bona fide asylum seekers are subject to lengthy detention. Detention is particularly damaging for asylum seekers, many of whom suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder and are in acute need of the support of family and community.
- The one-year filing deadline, an arbitrary deadline that requires most asylum seekers to establish by "clear and convincing" evidence that their asylum applications were filed within one year of their arrival in the United States, or demonstrate that their applications were delayed due to a narrow set of changed or extraordinary circumstances. Asylum seekers who cannot meet these requirements, even if they are refugees with well-founded fears of persecution, are barred from asylum protection and while they may be eligible for lesser forms of protection, they are unable to reunite with their spouses and children or obtain permanent status in the United States.
NIJC advocates to eliminate these injustices and for reforms that uphold the United States' legacy as a refuge for men, women, and children seeking freedom from persecution and preserve American ideals of due process and human rights.

- Summary removal infographic: Learn about the process and its consequences. View the infographic.
- Petition for rulemaking: In August 2015, NIJC filed a petition for rulemaking, asking the Obama administration to adopt new regulations clarifying that anyone eligible to seek asylum has the opportunity to do so, even if their prior removal order is reinstated. Read the petition.
- Civil rights complaint: In November 2014, NIJC filed a DHS Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties complaint on behalf of nine noncitizens who were denied the chance to seek asylum because of expedited removal orders. This complaint focused on the ways that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) deprived individuals of the right to seek asylum. Read the complaint.
- Federal Litigation: In 2012, NIJC represented Yesenia Maldonado-Lopez before the Ninth Circuit, arguing that Ms. Maldonado-Lopez should be allowed to seek asylum despite her previous expedited removal order. The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) and the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights (LCCR) of the San Francisco Bay Area were amici in the case. Ms. Maldonado-Lopez's case resulted in settlement, but NIJC continues to press this issue at the appellate level. NIJC, along with AILA and LCCR, filed amicus briefs on this issue in the Third, Eleventh, and Ninth Circuits. NIJC has a pending case raising this issue in the Ninth Circuit and is preparing to raise it in other venues. Read more about the case.

- Eliminate summary removal procedures that lack due process and prevent asylum seekers for pursuing existing protections. All asylum seekers should have the opportunity to present their case to an immigration judge, including those who have previously been deported.
- DHS should release asylum seekers on parole in accordance with the 2009 ICE policy directive.
- Congress must repeal the one-year filing deadline to ensure that refugees are not denied protection based on a technicality. The deadline is unnecessary, arbitrary, and a violation of the U.S. government's commitments to refugees' basic human rights.
- Appoint counsel to everyone in immigration proceedings. Access to counsel is critical to help people, especially children, individuals in detention, and vulnerable populations, navigate the complex immigration system.

Artık 2010 yılında olduğumuz için son 10 yılın, bir başka deyişle de 2000li yılların en iyi korku filmleri nelerdi, geriye dönüp bakabiliriz. Birçok yabancı sitede buna benzer listeler görür oldum. Bu listelerde birçok iyi film hakkıyla durduğu halde, birçok önemli film ise unutulmuş gibiydi.
Ben de bunun üzerine çok daha kapsamlı bir liste hazırlama gereği duydum. Benim listemde filmleri sıralarken daha çok içimdeki sese kulak veriyorum. İçimdeki ses de, filmin film olarak kalitesi, anlatım başarısı, orijinalliği, kendi zevkim, filmin korkutuculuğu ve etkileyiciliği, yarattığı fenomenin büyüklüğü gibi etkenlerin özetidir. Sevdiğiniz herhangibir filmi bu listede göremiyorsanız ya son 10 yıla ait değildir veya yukarıdaki kriterlerimden en az biriyle ters düşmektedir :) Veya belki de daha basit bir açıklaması vardır: o filmi izlememişimdir!
Gokhan Toka
As we are into 2010, we have the right and perspective to make a list on the best horror movies of the decade. I have came across a couple of similar lists on different sites. Including many important movies, unfortunately some of the not to be forgotten were missing on those lists.
So I decided to create a much more detailed list. How I sorted the movies on this list, is a combination of all factors: the quality of the movie, how original it is, how scary it is, how big a phenomena was it, and finally my own taste. If you cant find your top movie in this list and if it's not more than 10 years old, most probably it was not satisfying one of the conditions above or simply because i didn't watch it!

I was living in NY where I recently reconnected with a friend from high school. She was throwing a birthday party at a bar on the lower east side and I had no one to take with me. All my friends were either on dates or had other plans. So, I decided to bite the bullet and show up at the bar alone and force myself to mingle. I think I was sick enough of being single that I was in the "put myself out there" phase. You know, the phase where you don't turn down any invitations, because saying yes could mean meeting the love of your life?
So, I put on my lucky earrings and my page boy hat (yes, this is back when they were in style) and took a cab downtown. Going to a party alone is probably right up there with my fear of getting raped and murdered, but I was determined to have a good night. I asked the birthday girl if there were any cute single boys and she said all the guys there were either "gay, had a girlfriend, or she'd already hooked up with them." SO, I spotted two guys hanging out together, approached them and said, "Liz says all the guys here are either gay, have a girlfriend or have made out with her. Which category do you guys fit in?" It was the perfect opening line if I do say so myself and what was even better is that they were in the "none of the above" category. I spent the rest of the night talking to one of the boys and he ended up escorting me back to my apartment that night. He spent the night and it was all very PG-13, but there was enough action for me to know that we had chemistry. And that he liked going to the gym.
A few days later, we went on our first date. He took me out for Spanish tapas, because he had lived in Spain for a year. He spoke Spanish fluently. He played guitar and wrote music. He had a sexy, deep voice. He was half-Jewish, but didn't care that I wasn't. He was liberal. He was an atheist. In a word he was: perfect. He mentioned how much his mom would like me and as we were walking down the street, he pulled me aside and kissed me. It was probably one of the best first dates I've ever had and a quintessential New York evening. A couple days later, I flew home for Christmas, but I knew we would pick up where we left off the second I got back.
And that's when the ex-boyfriend reared his ugly head. The ex that got away who was going to be moving to New York in one month and who invited me to dinner and seduced me afterwards. I thought it was fate.
Suddenly, when I got back to NY, my perfect guy was not as cute, not as funny, not as charming. He was just a thorn in my side. I called him and was completely honest-- I went back home, reconnected with an ex, and because of it, I didn't feel like I was ready to get involved with him. And do you know what he did? He fought for me. He asked me to please meet him for a drink, so we could talk in person. We had another great night out, but I stuck to my guns and the ex and told him we could only be friends. CUT TO:
A couple months later. The ex has moved to NY and things fizzled out just as quickly as they heated up. He gave me the "I just moved here, I'm not ready to be in a relationship" line. My roommate and I threw a party at our place and ex and perfect guy both show up. Here's the ultimate boyfriend material litmus test: all my gay friends LOVED perfect guy. They said he was super cool, nice, friendly, and yes, straight. They even compared him to Noel from Felicity (pictured above). But stupid me was still preoccupied by the guy who had made it clear he wasn't interested in me. Somehow, by the end of the night, I'm at a bar down the street with perfect and ex. After drinks, they both walk me home. At the door, in front of ex, Perfect asks me if he can crash at my place, cause he's too drunk to go home. This was obviously a strategic move, because one of the beauties of living in NY is no matter how drunk you are, you can still get home. I say yes, but because I'm still so emotionally tortured by ex, I actually make Perfect guy sleep on the couch. We don't make out. And in the morning, I complain about how hung over I am so he'll make a quick exit. And that was the last I ever saw of him.
It all turned out for the best, because I couldn't be happier with where I ended up relationship-wise. BUT if I could have a conversation with my 24 year old self, I'd slap her silly and tell her never to let an emotionally unavailable ex get in the way of a perfectly sweet guy who actually wants to be with you.

Nintendo NX has been in the news for quite some time, and mostly because of some rumors. Now a new report has surfaced on the internet from a Taiwan manufacturer, who claims to know exactly when Nintendo NX will go into production.
According to a Taiwan-based supply chain makers, Nintendo will start the trial production of Nintendo NX in the third quarter of 2016, and the full production will start in early fourth quarter of 2016.
Over 40% of initial production will be undertaken by Foxconn Electronics and the remaining by Japan-based Misumi Electronics and Hosiden, the sources said. Taiwan-based component makers will include chassis maker Foxconn Technology, NAND flash memory maker Macronix International, CMOS image sensor design house Pixart Imaging and power supply maker Delta Electronics
According to the source, Nintendo intended to start the production of the console in the second quarter of 2016. However, due to the continuous changes in the design the production was delayed to early 2017.
In related news, according to a recent report, the upcoming Nintendo NX will be a portable, handheld console with detachable controllers. Users will also be able to connect the console to their TV/monitors for big screen gameplay experience, thus making the console a hybrid.
The report also suggests that Nintendo NX will use cartridges as the choice of physical media. The game cartridges, however, will be able to hold 32GB of game data which is still not sufficient, especially when we consider the size of most modern games on Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

Whoa. That title is wordy. It's also delicious!
Bone broth: full of minerals, collagen, gelatin, protein, fat. What's not to love? It's extremely easy to make, and highly nutritious, especially if you are working on repairing a not-so-happy gut.
Edited March 27th, 2015.
Bone broth is delicious, yes. I still make it. A miracle cure for "a-not-so-happy-gut"? Hardly.
First, find a butcher whom you trust. Ask if they have beef bones. They should sell them to you for dirt cheap.
Do you have a crockpot? Yes? Good. If not, do this in the largest pot you have on the stove. You will have to watch it. Having a crockpot makes this ridiculously easy. Turn it on and go to bed. That kind of easy.
I threw about 2, maybe a 2.5 lb bag o' bones into the oven last night, at 350 degrees for an hour to roast and become truly special.
So special!
Cut up 1.5 white onions into large chunks. Take an entire head of garlic, and slice off the top to expose the garlic. Yes, you've been exposed garlic! DEAL!
Toss these ingredients into your crock pot. Add about 1 – 2 tablespoons sea salt, and about the same amount of whole peppercorns.
Now, at this point, you can also add any veggies you want: carrots, celery, broccoli stems, you name it.
Once your bones are done roasting, let them cool a bit, and add them to your crock pot. Cover this concoction with cold water. My crock is about 3 quarts, I believe.
Turn the heat to low, and allow this to become beautiful over the course of 8 hours. If your crock pot can go for longer, do it. I cooked mine for 12 hours.
Beautiful, nourishing bone broth. How I love thee. I try to make this stuff once a week, if I can.
Now, onto them scallops, green onions, and dulse, OH MY!
Buttered Scallops, with Green Onions and Dulse Soup
3 cups bone broth
11 – 12 small sea scallops, fresh or defrosted
2 tablespoons organic butter
One whole green onion, finely chopped
One handful of dulse, snipped into smaller pieces
1 – 2 tablespoons ginger, grated
Red chili pepper flakes, to taste
Serves two. Or, if you're really hungry, serves one 🙂
Reheat your bone broth over the stove; bring it to a boil, then take it off the heat. There, that part is done.
Heat a small frying pan on medium-high heat. Drop in your two tablespoons of butter. Is it sizzling? Good. Let it sizzle and foam. Watch it. Burnt butter is sad. Carefully place your scallops in, one at a time. Watch the butter. It will start to brown, and your kitchen will smell OUTSTANDING: nutty, sweet and divine. Trust me on this. Keep watching your butter. Take it off the heat for a moment or two, if you have to. But allow the butter to turn into a rich, caramel colour. Now, carefully flip those scallops. You're just cooking these through. Tough scallops are sad. Do not overcook them, or else I'll get a sea of texts from random scallops that YOU ruined, saying "WHY! She hates me! Why does she gotta overcook my ass?!" and I'll be like "Bro…I dunno. Stop texting me, weirdo".
Season with a touch of sea salt. Add in your green onions. Stir. Remove from heat.
Transfer your broth to a nice big bowl. Pour in your scallops, all that butter, and green onions. Add your dulse**, grated ginger, and hot pepper flakes. You are DONE and have a wicked, awesome, tasty soup! Look at you, you smarty pants you!
**Dulse is seaweed: full of minerals, including iodine. I like eating it straight out of the bag! Delish!
Enjoy 🙂 Let me know what you think!

Writing a novel set in early 1900 San Francisco? This rare vintage video was shot with a 35mm camera bolted to the front of a trolley car as it traveled down Market Street in 1905. What makes this even more exceptional is the fact that it was captured before the earthquake/fire of 1906 destroyed the area. Remarkable footage of the turn of the century lifestyles in California.
Cool digital background music somehow fits!

Xavier Gens Interested in Daredevil Reboot
Xavier Gens recently told Marvel Movies that he would jump at the chance to recreate the "Daredevil" film for 20th Century Fox.
Gens said, "If I make a 'Daredevil' movie, I would go in a completely different direction. My vision of the character is much more a drama. For me it's important to include the origin of the character like in Richard Donner's 'Superman.' We saw him slowly become a superhero, but I think it's important to take time and stay realistic. It's also very important to let the director make his own vision of the character, not make a studio movie. 'The Dark Knight' is totally the vision of Nolan."
Gens also stated that he thinks Sam Worthington would be a great actor to play Matt Murdock.

Investigate an Online Adjunct Community College Job
Have you ever considered investigating an Online Adjunct Community College Job? I did and after three years of working for a major For Profit College, I am convinced that this is the way to go for now and in the future. Many traditional colleges adopt what is called a blended mode of delivery. They use a blend of both traditional and online modes of delivery. One can do both; the major advantage of the online approach is its flexibility. For many years curriculum builders have tried to gain flexibility by using evening classes. Online education takes this a step further and uses what is called Asymmetric time. One can enter the class at 3:00 am and post assignments, ask questions or review a lecture. The computer program calculates when you signed in and how long you stayed and what you posted.
The main difference between traditional and online education is not the content. The content is virtually the same. In a basic curriculum both groups of students would take similar courses in History, English, Math, Civics, Science and so forth. The online school would offer the same. The difference is the delivery system. The traditional curriculum requires the student to be at a specific place and a specific time and the online arrangement does not. One could travel to the Bahamas
and still stay current with course work. All one would need is a laptop computer.
If a new instructor signs onto a course, the first thing they will notice is how the course is symbolized on the computer monitor. The monitor is divided into color coded sections. Each section represents an aspect of the course one is viewing. For example, the first section that one encounters is Announcements. Here, the administration can post urgent messages regarding emergency schedule changes and alterations in the course offerings for the next term. The administration could announce that storms are causing evacuations in certain parts of the country and as a result some of the school's students who live in that area would be affected. The instructor can post her policy on absences and on late work submitted. Also, she will post office hours. The students should read the announcements every time they sign on. This will help keep them current with the course.
As we move down the list, we come to Assignments. Here the assignments are pre-packaged; the instructor does not have to write lesson plans; they are written by the curriculum designers. The instructor acts as a facilitator. The criteria for acceptable performance of the students is given in a rubric, where each task is weighted a certain number of points. Due dates are given and the penalty for late work is also indicated.
Online Adjunct Community College Job Promotes Critical Thinking
Online instruction stresses critical thinking and encourages students to make connections on their own. The section labeled as Problems and Solutions gives the student the opportunity to share special insights they have gleaned from experimentation with navigation and locating links that are useful. Further, the student can take advantage of the many tutorials available and can use these tutorials independently. For example, if they want to be able to identify and correct comma splices, there is a link that will help them; if they want to learn how to use APA more effectively, there is a tutorial that will guide them. If they want to know how to avoid plagiarism, they can use the link to turnitin.com. If students want to know how to use the online library, there is a link that will guide them. The instructor is there to facilitate, not to teach in the conventional sense. The idea is to get the student to become independent thinkers and not simply recorders that spit back information.
The very heart of the course is manifest in the Discussion Thread. Here the instructor throws out a prompt and the students respond to it. The question is moved from one student to another and the instructor works to draw out the students who are not participating. The idea is get students to respond to students and not always to the instructor. The instructor will often piggyback on what a student has said and then move the question to another student. Another strategy is for the instructor to share his experience relating to the question and invite the students to do so regarding their experience.
Online Adjunct Community College Job Transforms Grading
Grading is practically done for you if you are the instructor. Recall that the rubric is used throughout and the points earned on each assignment are averaged. The instructor has access to all student grades, while the students have access only to their grades. This system if useful for conferences with the student and in the event that the student and instructor conflict over the interpretation of the grade, the grading system is all the more useful. It is useful too if the conflict becomes litigious. Grades are based on objective tests and these tests are timed, on the participation of the student in the Discussion Thread, and on the student's contribution to the group project. The group project provides practice for the student in working as part of a team and toward a common goal, skills they are likely to encounter in the workplace or industry.
If a student desires interaction with his instructor, he can post his question on Ask the Professor and expect a 24 hr. turnaround. This is a board that makes the answer public, visible to the other students. The idea is that one can learn from one's peers. If privacy is wanted then the student should use the email link.
In Student Lounge, the student is given the opportunity of sharing with other students without the stress of having to perform for a grade. Research has shown that such sharing can often result in bonding which supports the students through their academic career and beyond. These relationships hold, whether the students focus on personal issues or on the viability of online adjunct college teaching jobs.
It should be noted that community colleges offer excellent opportunities for landing online adjunct professor jobs since there are thousands of htem now experiencing large growthin the numbers of new students wantng to ean a two-year degree.

Mindfulness Basic Intensive Training for Mental Health Professionals
Wednesday, 21 March 2018 at 8:30 AM - Friday, 23 March 2018 at 4:00 PM (MDT)
Event Details
What is Intensive Training?
We like being able to offer intensives which share a lot of the same benefits of retreats but are less expensive and more accessible to people living in cities. Usually several days long, intensives are like being on retreat during the day, but—because we're still in the middle of an urban centre, and going home at night—it's a great opportunity to practice with the city too. Based on focused, community-oriented practice, intensive training provides the education and experiential practice.
What is MBSR and MBCT?
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an empirically-supported 8-week psycho-educational group that teaches mindfulness meditation as a health intervention. Created by Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979, MBSR offers participants the possibility to develop a different relationship to stress resulting from chronic physical and psychological conditions. Research has demonstrated improved physical, psychological, and behavioural outcomes.
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) combines the practice of mindfulness meditation with the tools of cognitive therapy. It is 90% MBSR, and 10% Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
This highly experiential workshop adapts this treatment to health-care providers for personal use. Participants will explore habitual modes of mind that characterize changes in mood while simultaneously developing skills and a new relationship to these states. In addition, participants will be introduced to the theoretical assumptions underlying the model as well as the application of MBCT in clinical settings.
This introductory intensive course is meant for general interest and is most suitable for those interested in the personal and professional applications of mindfulness including healthcare providers, other professionals, and those wishing to teach mindfulness-based interventions. There is no prerequisite for this course.
Participants will gain an understanding of the historical and scientific underpinnings of mindfulness and its application to stress and everyday life.
If you are pursuing the MBSR Facilitation Certificate or MBCT Facilitation Certificate and you have prior formal mindfulness training, please visit the Centre for Mindfulness Studies for further details.
Who Should Attend
Clinical Professionals: All mental health professionals including, but not limited to Teachers, Clinical Counsellors, Psychologists, Psychotherapists, Social Workers, Nurses, Occupational Therapists, Youth Workers, and Mental Health Workers.
* If you have never taken a mindfulness program before, it would be benefical to enroll in the 2-day introduction from March 5-6. Special discounts will be provided for those who register for both programs. Please contact Derek at email@example.com for further details.
Wednesday Mar 21- Friday Mar 23, 2018 8:30am - 4:00pm

Once again the Curse of the mistaken Pullet has struck. I have a beautiful white Ameraucana pullet that crowed this morning.
He is much too pretty to put in the freezer but I don't have a lot of free space so if anyone would like him you can come and get him.
Oh dear! That Paula!
You sound just like my sister, Paula. From the eggs I gave her to hatch she also got a beautiful white bird and she swears she is a she and not a he :-)) Hers is named Angel so it is possible Angelo will also be looking for a home :-)
...........sorry . I was sure it was a pullet
It's okay Paula. I certainly won"t hold it against you.......again. I would just like to find him a nice new home as he is so pretty especially now his little muffs are growing. Come on somebody must want a lovely white fella.....ANYONE???
Lindy do you need a replacement? I got his twin here and Paula thinks it's a pullet too.

Record-breaking departures and a dearth of rain in many parts of the Midwest has not only put a strain on America's aging electrical infrastructure, but it has also been disastrous for sectors of U.S. agriculture. As Americans tried to keep cool in the cities, farmers were cutting down their crops. Midwestern corn farmers, for instance, saw that their maize was stunted because of the heat and lack of precipitation. Normally, corn stalks should be six feet tall by mid-summer. Instead, the ears of the corn were stunted, along with the puny stalks. Farmers thus cut them down for silage or turned them into the soil.
Since American agriculture is essential to the world economy, foreign analysts are taking note of the impact the current environment in the U.S. will have on other countries. Alexia Ash, of the London-based Executive-Analysis firm, released a report to clients highlighting how the drought in the US will have a global impact.
On July 13, the Department of Agriculture announced that a record 1,000 counties in 26 states had been declared to be in a state of emergency due to extreme drought. It is thus that the specter of rising food prices and hunger emerges from the parched American farmland. For 2013, prices are expected to rise for not only corn, wheat and soybeans (of which the US is remains the world's largest exporter), but also meat and dairy products, as the world's most common animal feed is corn.
According to Ash, the Obama administration and Congress currently have no visible plan to address the widespread drought. She reported that the House Agriculture Committee did discuss emergency legislation on July 25, which would focus on a one-year extension of current subsidies provided under the farm bill as well as disaster aid for drought-stricken farmers.
Said Ash, "However, such legislation is not likely to pass, due to lack of support in Congress, as well as the approaching summer recess that begins on 3 August. The farm bill, which defines the core agricultural policy of the federal government and is up for renewal on 30 September, has been stalled in the House of Representatives, an unprecedented move that is indicative of the political stalemate currently obstructing traditionally routine pieces of legislation from passage. If the bill is not renewed or extended by the deadline, many subsidy and assistance programmes would automatically lose funding."
The effect of such inaction by the U.S. government will reverberate throughout the world, wrote Ash. "Increased food prices raise risks of civil unrest worldwide, as was widespread in 2008 when grain prices nearly doubled. They also raise contract frustration and currency risks in those countries where the government subsidises food prices. Mexico subsidises corn prices, while Venezuela imposes a price ceiling on corn. In addition, countries such as Egypt subsidise cooking oil, which is often made from corn."
The 2012 corn crop is projected to have been reduced by 30% because of the drought. U.S. corn reserves hit an eight-year low in March 2012 of 6 billion bushels. Compounding the effects of the current drought, the reserves are down 7.9% from the same time period in 2011. Reserves had been consistently declining, in part due to increased demand for corn in the production of ethanol.
Farmers had expected a record harvest of corn had been anticipated for 2012, even while nature threw them a curve ball. Farmers had been counting on a bumper crop to replenish stockpiles. The U.S. accounted for 53.8% of corn exports in 2010, with its largest customers being Japan, Mexico, South Korea, Taiwan, and Egypt, by order of volume. The U.S. exported 45.3 million metric tons of corn in 2010-11. The next largest corn exporters were Argentina (15.2 million), Brazil (11.6 million), Ukraine (5 million), and India (3.4 million). It is unlikely that alternative exporters will be able to make up the shortfall in supply left by the reduced U.S. crop.

Rankings were thrown out of the window at the Beeline Arena on Saturday as the playoff matches in the inaugural Cambodia Basketball Challenge to find the final two semifinalists unabashedly favoured the underdogs.
The third-ranked Mobitel XG Warriors were the first to bite the dust, unable to bear the CCPL Heat as the sixth-ranked side executed their game plan to near perfection. Heat beat the Warriors 67-54 to set up a semifinal clash next weekend with No 1 team Sabay Salty Crabs.
The fourth-ranked Sela Meas hit the buffers against the Phnom Penh Dragons, who finished fifth in the league standings. The Dragons, sticking to their patented offence, led all the way against their all-Cambodian rivals in a 80-70 triumph crafted by Mark Nabong and Kelvin Chan, both of whom garnered 18 points.
The Dragons will be up against Raid-Alaxan XR, the league runners-up, for a place in the CBC final. Both the semifinal matches have been posted for next Saturday, leading to the title decider the week after.
Heat's two-point game plan, running smooth transition and excellent defence on key scorers at the other end, worked to a tee. The ever consistent Kim Ran had a profitable day with 20 points as he frequently came up with good cuts to the baskets and scored freely against the Warriors' twin towers Joshua Schmitz and Jerry Manus.
From the word go it was Sok Tour who kept the baskets ticking, emerging in the end as the side's top scorer with 21 points. It was the Kim Ran-Sok Tour tandem that virtually broke the Warriors back.
Also of great significance was the way Heat held Warriors best scorer Fred Babida on a tight leash. In fact, Babida went scoreless in the first three quarters against some smart rotational defence and managed only six points in the whole game.
The first three quarters were pretty tight with the Heat no more than four points ahead at the half way stage, 29-25.
The Warriors were closing in all the time with Manus, who eventually got to 14 points, muscling his shots under the board, especially in the third quarter when it was a one-basket game.
But a Sok Tour three pointer at that critical phase helped ease the pressure on the Heat and deep into the fourth quarter they had a commanding 16 point lead, which the Warriors found too hard to make up.
The Dragons made it a start to finish affair on the back of the solidity provided by Nabong and Chan. But the side also had an unlikely hero in the three point specialist Jerry Roxas, who raced to 22 points. The trio put Sela Meas out of stride and contention.
The much-touted Sela Meas defence was nowhere to be found in the first three quarters at the end of which the Dragons were sitting safe at 60-49. Sok Samnang squeezed out 10 points but he often found the big Chan as dour as a barn door.
Pheng Darath and Chan Phearom hustled the side back into the fight by whittling the Dragons lead down to 74-70 with a minute and 10 seconds to go. But in those demanding moments, a battle weary Sela Meas lapsed into errors and conceded turnovers, allowing Chan and Jeff Cruz crucial baskets that took Dragons safely home.

text: CHICAGO (AP) -- Film critic Roger Ebert, who is battling cancer in a Chicago hospital, says he looks forward to coming back to work despite a hard road to recovery that has kept him hospitalized for three months. "I don't have a crystal ball, so I can't tell you when, but I sure look forward to being back on the movie beat," he said in a statement Aug. 17. Ebert had surgery June 16 to remove a cancerous growth on his salivary gland. He also had emergency surgery July 1 after a blood vessel burst near the site of the operation. The 64-year-old had undergone surgery in 2002 to remove a malignant tumor on his thyroid gland and twice the next year on his salivary gland Ebert said in the statement that his voice has been affected by the cancer treatment and part of his overall rehabilitation will include having to strengthen his vocal cords. He added that "doctors are moving cautiously, but they are enthusiastically optimistic about my recovery." Ebert has been a film critic at the Chicago Sun-Times since 1967. He won the Pulitzer Prize for criticism in 1975, the same year he teamed up with Gene Siskel of the rival Chicago Tribune to launch their movie-review show. Siskel died in 1999. Ebert has co-hosted the show with fellow Sun-Times columnist Richard Roeper since 2000.

(Objection! Goodreads is a terrible way to gauge popularity. The Hunger Games has more ratings than Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.)
Only if you completely abandon your common sense.
(Objection! You have no common sense.)
Objection, yourself. I found that Enid Blyton books technically fell into the underrated category, as did several bestselling manga series. For obvious reasons, none of them made the cut.
...And there she goes, off to sulk by the brain stem, no doubt.
Quickly, before she comes back, take a look at my top ten underrated books.
1. Burn Mark and Witch Fire by Laura Powell
Ratings: 1,245 and 339 respectively
Modern day London. A girl on a council estate eagerly awaits the day that her fey will inevitably show itself, and an Inquisitor's son gets a nasty surprise.
I love this series, the magic is gritty, the dynamic between the two main characters is glorious, and the dialogue is very very British.
2. Dogfight by Craig Simpson
Ratings: 69
Set in Nazi occupied Norway, Dogfight follows Finn and Loki's escape to Allied Britain.
Do they make it?
Well, that would be telling...
3. Unique by Alison Allen-Gray
Ratings: 412
One of the few books that I read at school and actually enjoyed. Artsy Dominic is a disappointment to his father. It isn't until he discovers that he had an older brother that he starts to piece together the real reason why.
4. The Accident by Diane Hoh
Ratings: 617
There's a girl in Megan's mirror. A dead girl. All she wants is a few weeks of her time...
I read a lot of Point Horror novels when I was in year eight. Most of them were nothing to write home about, but this one swallowed me whole.
5. Heart-Shaped Bruise by Tanya Bryne
Ratings: 1,428
To sum up...
- Crime thriller
- Awesome protagonist
- Revenge
- Why has nobody read this?!?
6. Hollow Earth by Carole and John Barrowman
Ratings: 1,509
Don't be put off by the fact that one of the writers is an actor. The characters of Hollow Earth are well-drawn, with magical abilities that rely heavily on art. It relies a little too much on twin stereotypes at times but, honestly, I think that kids'll love it.
(*Climbs back up the brain stem and hovers on the edge of consciousness, hands in the pockets of her black hoody*)
7. The Masked City by Genevieve Cogman
Ratings: 1,566
(Objection! This hasn't even been released everywhere yet.)
Can you point me to the rule that says that it has to have been?
Thought not. This is the sequel to The Invisible Library. Basically, Kai is kidnapped, Irene heads to fey-infested Venice to save him and spends most of her time casually leaning on the fourth wall.
This is another one that I reviewed rather recently.
Have you read any of these? Link me to your TTT posts!

I finished this Devil Dog from Infinity the other day. It's a great model, a metric shittonne of detail on it. I'm not so keen on the stones being a part of the casting, I think it would have been better to have them as an optional extra. I used a slightly darker scheme to the last one I painted. I tried to create a lot of contrast and I think I was successful.
Purple Mane
For this I tried out some new paints from the Warcolours range. I based it in a 1:1 mix of Violet 2 and Violet 3 with a small touch of Braineater Azure from the Scale Color Fantasy and Games range. I used Braineater for the skin so adding a small amount of this to the mae helps to make the two colours 'work'. I then added a touch of Scale Colour Violet ink to the base colour and washed each purple area. The ink dries with a very wet look when it pools so I was careful to draw off any excess.
Highlights were built up very simply by progressively adding more white to the original base mix, using standard layering until I was happy with definition.
As I said, this was based with Braineater Azure from the Scale Color Fantasy and Games range. The model has a lot of heavily sculpted definition so I decided to wash the whole area with a slightly thinned GW Drakenhof Nightshade. I usually thin washes or inks with a little water just to help me get a little more control and to lengthen drying time so I don't get any issues with staining.
I reapplied the base colour and built up highlights by adding more and more white to the mix. Once I got decent contrast I stippled on tiny dots with thinned white to give the illusion of fur texture. It's important to thin the white so you can use the transparency of the paint to vary the opacity.
It doesn't show up well in the picture but it looks the business in real life. The veins were then picked out in white,

To be honest, when I was changing my current programing editor and was testing VIM and Emacs, I've choosen Emacs mainly because of Lisp (...and because I hated switching modes in VIM). I have to say also, that beign (mainly) a Python programmer I feel Emacs Lisp very familiar in some places, and I guess it's true what people say that is an enlightning language. There is a really nice project which allows you to extend GNU/Emacs using Python called Pymacs[0]. I guess that instead of changing Emacs Lisp we should develop and encourage this kind of interfaces. This will keep everyone happy, people who actually wants to learn Emacs Lisp and people who don't want quit using their preferred language. An example of an extension using Pymacs would be ropemacs[1] which is a Python refactoring tool (that saves my life everyday).

Top Essay Service
If you have a hard time coping with lots of writing assignments, you can get help form an essay service which is easily available online. An essay service is a kind of virtual company aiming at providing essay writing papers to everyone at really cheap price. These days many students who attend their classes at their schools and colleges also have to work part time to make both ends meet. Such students find it really difficult to cope with their academic requirements and their jobs. They find it quite complicated to complete their essay writing assignments for which they require essay help in an affordable way. For such students, there are many essay services which are available online. Using the facility of an essay service, students are able not only to score better grades but also feel at ease instead of worrying about their writing assignments.
A good essay service is the one which provides the premium quality of writing material. Their team should consist of highly educated and trained writers who should be able to write on any topic at a reasonable price. Not every other essay service can be trusted. It should have a good reputation, and only original authentic and free from plagiarism articles should be provided. Once a piece of writing is delivered to the customer, it becomes the customer's property. There should also be a customer support department of a professional essay service which should provide essay editing, restructuring and revising of the essays in case if any essay does not match the customer's criteria.
These services also deal with custom essays, argumentative essays, descriptive essays, research papers, blogs, promotional essays and many other types of essays. The price for the assignment has to be decided beforehand. Customers have to pay once the assignment is delivered and approved by a client.. Some freelance writers offer cheap essay writing papers but do not pay attention to the overall quality of the paper which affects the customer's reputation. So a wise decision would be to use reliable essay service instead of cost-effective writing solutions from any stranger.
Some online services of essay writing also deal with pure essay editing and call themselves as an essay editing service. These services work a bit differently than the proper essay writing services. Their purpose is to correct, re-structure, proof-read or edit an already written essay. To check if the essay editing service is good and legitimate, you need to visit their website. If there are spelling errors on the website it means that this service is definitely not the right place where one can get professional paper. These services should accept payments via credit cards and should have the registration number somewhere on their site.
If you want to buy an essay from an essay writing service, first you need to make sure whether the provided content is up to the mark, whether it meets all the instructions given by the customer. A customer has to check whether there are no grammatical or spelling errors in his or her work. It has been written in professionally and no content should be copy pasted directly from the internet. If any discrepancies are found they offer revision. Once you buy an essay or article there is very little probability that they will revise it at the same cost so every customer should check the content in detail before making the payment.
These days the essay writing services offer great essay help to the students who need it and also give a possibility for part-time writers to work and earn for their living writing custom essays for students and even professionals.

2014 Toyota Corolla LE EcoPosted on December 23rd, 2013
All-new compact sedan with fuel-saving technology
By Nina Russin
This year, Toyota introduces an all-new Corolla, celebrating twenty-five years for the compact sedan in the United States. As one of the oldest nameplates in the Toyota line-up, the Corolla is also one of the most popular, with sales approaching 40 million units globally. The new sedan is the eleventh-generation model, featuring both sport and Eco variants.
The Eco model is new for 2014, achieving up to 40 miles-per-gallon on the highway according to the EPA. Power comes from a 140-horsepower four-cylinder engine with Toyota's newest version of variable valve timing and a continuously variable automatic transmission.
Under-covers beneath the chassis reduce turbulence around the engine bay and spare tire well. Low rolling resistance tires come with either the base 15-inch wheels or optional 16-inch alloy wheels.
The Corolla Eco is available in three trim levels, with pricing starting at $18,700 for the base model and $20,100 for the Premium, excluding an $810 destination charge.
Convenience features on the Premium model tested include the sixteen-inch wheels, automatic climate control, touch screen with rear backup camera, Entune with apps and heated front seats.
Options on the test car add keyless start, navigation with traffic and weather updates, USB port, iPod connectivity, Bluetooth streaming audio and a power moonroof, bringing the final MSRP to $23,270.
Test drive in Arizona
This week, I drove the Corolla Eco on a combination of high-speed surface roads and highways in Scottsdale and Chandler, Arizona as well as rural roads south and east of town. Fuel economy for the 120-mile test drive averaged 38 miles-per-gallon: four miles-per-gallon better than the EPA estimate. Although I made no effort to baby the throttle, there was not a lot of time spent in stop and go traffic that typically eats up more gas.
The Corolla has developed a loyal following over the past quarter century because it is a solid and dependable car: a good choice for those who are not necessarily driving enthusiasts but depend heavily upon their vehicles for transportation.
Toyota tends to be rather conservative in its approach to engineering, erring on the side of tried-and-true versus uncharted waters. As a result, Corolla owners can depend on the fact that their cars will spend very little time in the repair shop, and will deliver the performance and fuel economy the manufacturer promises throughout the lifecycle of the vehicle.
Styling for the 2014 car is more aggressive than for former models, with a redesigned grille that has a kinship with the new generation of Lexus cars. The idea is to appeal to younger buyers who might be moving up from Scion or migrating to Toyota from other brands.
But the heart of the car is still the same: quiet, durable and trustworthy. The 1.8-liter engine is a little anemic in this writer's opinion, compared to competitors such as the Mazda3. But there is certainly enough power for whatever situation the driver finds himself in, be it high-speed traffic, weaving through narrow urban streets, or passing a slower vehicle on a two-lane rural road.
The continuously variable transmission is one of the better units out there. Engineers emulated the type of shift points traditionally found in a step transmission, eliminating the annoying rubber band feel that plagues many CVT units.
An electric power steering unit saves weight and space under the hood and reduces internal pumping losses. This one is particularly well tuned to the car, with good on-center response. There is plenty of assist at lower speeds as well for maneuverability. The Corolla's 35.6-foot turning circle makes it easy to slip into a small parking spot on the street or perform the occasional U-turn.
The suspension consists of an independent MacPherson strut set-up in front and torsion beam rear end. I did not notice any hop of harshness in the back of the car: a problem with some solid rear axles. The suspension seemed to do a good job of isolating passengers from harsh road surfaces. Stabilizer bars on both axles keep the chassis flat in the corners.
The braking system consists of discs up front and drums in the back. Although the front brakes do most of the braking, I take issue with any manufacturer who still installs drum brakes on their vehicles. Drum brakes hold water so they don't work particularly well in wet weather. They are also harder to service than discs.
Visibility around the sedan's perimeter is good. I had no problems monitoring traffic in the adjacent lanes. The rearview camera on the test car eliminates blind spots in the sedan's back corners and makes it easier to monitor cross traffic in crowded parking lots.
Spacious interior
Despite its compact dimensions, the Corolla interior can easily accommodate four adults: five in a pinch. The new car is slightly longer than the outgoing model, translating to some additional rear legroom. I found the power seat adjustments for the driver's seat easy to use, although I would have preferred some additional lower lumbar support.
Keyless entry and start saves the driver from fumbling for the key fob, adding a measure of safety for owners who enter their vehicles in urban areas after dark.
The large center stack screen is easy to read in a variety of lighting conditions. I found the audio and climate control settings intuitive to operate. Controls are easy to reach from either front seating position. Redundant steering wheel controls enable the driver to use the Bluetooth interface, change display settings and program the audio system with minimal distraction.
An information display in the gauge cluster gives the driver trip meter and odometer readings as well as instant and average fuel economy.
The trunk is spacious for a sedan of this size, easily holding the weekly groceries, luggage and some smaller camping equipment. Second-row seats fold flat to extend the cargo floor for longer items. However cyclists who need to carry their bikes inside the vehicle will be better served with the Prius liftback or one of Toyota's crossover vehicles.
Standard safety
The Toyota Corolla comes with front, side, side curtain and driver's knee airbags, antilock brakes, traction control, stability control, whiplash lessening from seats and daytime running lamps.
Toyota builds the Corolla at its Tupelo, Mississippi assembly plant.
Like: A stylish, safe and durable compact sport sedan with exceptionally good fuel economy.
Dislike: Rear drum brakes tend to hold water and are not as easy to service as discs.

I have been ordering kratom from other vendors, and usually it takes 14-30 days for me to receive my shipment. I placed a order with Kratom Pro, and received my shipment within 3 days. WOW. It gets even better. When placing my order I had questions, and chose to call your phone number. I got answers immediately, and was able to feel confident in the order I placed. When my kratom arrived I noticed it looked quit a bit greener than what I usually get. I wondered if it had to do with it being organic, or if it was possibly not as potent. Needless to say it was absolutely amazing. In addition to the extracts I placed an order for a plant. This is my second attempt in purchasing a plant. My firt time was from a different vendor, and the poor thing arrived 30 days late, and frozen solid. Thank you sooo very much, Tess
Thanks for the quick responses, and Customer Service. I love your kratom products. You have gained a long term customer. Have a great night. Michael

Rating of 1.5/4
In complete and utter honesty, despite featuring Kat Dennings as lead actress, there is little point to this film. I found myself, many times, debating whether or not to even finish watching it. Daydream Nation lacks entertainment, humor, and anything remotely realistic. The plot made no sense, and elements with no relevance seemed to be added simply because they could. However, despite my harsh comments, there were a handful nice quotes, in an otherwise disappointing movie.
