It was a nice sunny but crisp autumn day as I got ready to go to this year's SELWG at the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre.
The car journey was a pleasant one with hardly any traffic on the roads, but there was a bit of a parking problem when we reached the car parking area. Still I managed to find somewhere to park and with a little walk to the centre we arrived just after 11 am.
There was no queue at all at the doors and the same price for a ticket as last year.
I usually first take a look around all the trade stands to see what's new for this year but there did not seem much on offer. First I went to the Harfield stand and although lots of plastic figures here for sale, there was nothing I really wanted but I did by the Conflix-Guild Master's House to build up my village/town. Great start to the show.
The Bring & Buy stall was not that bad and so a quick look at what's on offer here before moving on. The concourse seemed then to be busy but when I looked at the main hall below, where were all the visitor's gone? It now seems that each year there is less trade stands, less wargaming tables and less people and I think that SELWG could be in trouble here with future shows.
Still I had a look at the trade stands in the hall with ease and once again there were lots of 28 mm figures and laser buildings on sale. Here I brought some more laser bases from Products for Wargamers.
We had an early lunch before going around the wargaming tables for the second half of our visit.
Once again the tables were fantastic and it seems that each year the layouts are getting better and better.
The best participation game was by the Crawley Wargamers WWI game with their "Stretcher Bearer". This had players from all different ages and it looked a very fun game to play. Each of the players had a pair of stretcher bearers and they had to get back to their lines across No-Mans-Land with their casualty. First one back to the Aid Station wins.
The best wargaming action was from a "Waterloo Game" but I forgot to get the clubs name. The layout consisted of the La Haye Sainte farm and lots of teddy bear fields.
This 28 mm game really did look the part and I give this game the best of the day.
Sorry about the pictures as my camera gave up on me and I had to use a mobile phone for these. Still the time at SELWG went really quick and we left about 2 pm.

UNDP representative in Kosovo Andrew Russell has been a guest on the Slobodno Srpski talk show, produced by the New Press and Media Center in Caglavica.
He spoke with host Budimir Nincic about UNDP's recent report about citizens of Kosovo who joined extremist groups in Syria, to say that no such cases had been recorded in the past two years.
Russell recalled that 335 citizens of Kosovo, mostly young and unemployed, went to Syria between 2012 and 2015.
"75 percent of those who went were men, 18 percent were women, there were also children as well – based on official statistics by the Kosovo police. Yes, predominantly Kosovo Albanian, that's because we're in a predominantly Kosovo Albania society. There were others from other minorities who go. Most of them are young – looks like 60 percent were between the ages of 18 and 38. So this is young group – not entirely, but predominantly," he said.
Socio-economic aspects are, according to the UN official, one of the main motives for those who "traveled" to Syria from Kosovo, but there are also other factors.
"76 percent of those who traveled were unemployed, prior to traveling. It means that actually 25 percent had a job, so it's not the only motivating factor. Many of them also reported that the tried to go West. They were perhaps one of the Kosovars that got on the bus and tried to go into Western Europe, but were unable to," Russell said.
Commenting on the report's finding that 55 women and 27 from Kosovo went to foreign battlefields, he said they mainly went as "complete families" and that the women in question did not directly participate in the fighting but rather had the role of "following their husbands and taking care of the home."
Other topics, including violence against women and organized crime and corruption, were also discussed during the interview.

Those special moments when you're walking to your friends house and you have so much fun spying nature. Oh to be two!
Jumping in deep muddy puddles, finding the perfect stickman stick, teeny tiny stones that look like every other stone ever, but you just cannot help but pick one up and put it in your pocket. Pretty tiny pink flowers and pretty tiny pink berries with rain drops that cling to them like a Koala's hug. Icy cold hand holding and aeroplane watching. Bright warm sunshine and cosy woollen scarves and hats and the most brilliant bestest ladybird wellies you ever did see.

The smallest of wanderings with Olive are my favourites. She loves to explore and to stop and to sit in the mud (Gah!), to collect sticks and identical stones and to shout "Hello doggy!" to every fluffy tailed passer by.
She is my dream adventure buddy.

I got my first fake ID from the idhurry and I'm satisfied. Just as they say, it does the job. Never had any problems with that card, now I can get anything I want. Super!
reddit user
Never thought I would order a fake ID but it has happened… It seems to me that I have made a right choice by contacting the idhurry.com from the start – they offer nice service and good quality. I feel secure with that fake ID because it feels just like real one. Within two years I'll get a real one, and it will be interesting to compare it…
salsashaker199 (Texas)
The ID is great! Everything is in place: it passes the UV scan and has the hologram, and the photo is fine, and it feels real because the PVC is just like on real ones. I have been using it for almost 6 months by now, and I never had any problems, though I believe that I look very young. Nobody ever doubted it was real!

ASO has presented the alternative route for the 2016 Dakar Rally. The so-called Plan B was made after the announcement that Peru retired from this year's rally due to the expectation of extreme weather, caused by El Niño.
The new route changes a lot in the first few days of the race, less dunes and more technical tracks. Dates and the number of stages are not changed. The race will start in the Argentinian capital of Buenos Aires of the third of January.
The planned marathon stage will take place in Jujuy, Bolivia. Marc Coma, the new sportif director of the Dakar tells: "Before arriving there, the competitors will be placed in a new marathon configuration," explains Marc Coma, Sporting Director of the event. "We are going to set up a strict Parc Fermé at Jujuy while the support vehicles drive the long route to Uyuni. The Bolivian section maintains the feature of three days' racing at high altitude."
The rest day is planned for 10 January in Salta where the initially designed route will be followed for the rest of the race. One of the toughest parts of the rally is still to come at that point. Participants will face the dunes around Fiambala as a tough part of the race.
"Thanks to the immediate involvement and unfailing commitment of the Bolivian and Argentinian authorities, we have found the right technical solutions to take on the new challenge posed to us at the end of August. The loyalty of the institutions in the two countries to the Dakar means we are now in a position to offer competitors a quality event for 2016", says Dakar General Manager Etienne Lavigne.
The Sporting Director of the event, Marc Coma, who has recently supervised the reconnaissance for this part of the race, cautions precisely that "the idea of endurance will live up to all its meaning on these stages, because the bikes and quads will have to cope with a second marathon stage in week two. I have a feeling that changes at the sharp end of the general classification will be more than likely on these stages."

I've finished the fourth level and improved the existing three slightly with features from this update. Firstly, I've added large spike balls. They're rather deadly and tend to fall on your head.
They were pretty fun to experiment with with positioning, along with Unity's physic materials (especially the bouncy one) to make them hop around the stage like kangaroos on meth. I also added mini posters/ billboards that warn the player of dangers ahead, and one at the start of each level to tell you the level number.
If you wondered what the player looks like in my scene view, he's a bright purple capsule. He's a little bit feminine and proud of it.
I've used some existing objects to devise new traps for the player – you'll have to find them for yourself though! Along with this comes a new health bar, which is much more colourful (and hence, better) than before; it's a nicer way of displaying remaining lives and health. There's a few new features such as a start screen and pause screen; the latter of the two is accessed through the escape key. The cursor stays frozen in the centre of the screen and hidden while the game in unpaused, meaning it won't stray from the game window and interfere with other applications.
Also, as some players pointed out, some moving platforms used to stutter when stood on, but this has been fixed now by updating their position in the FixedUpdate() function rather than Update(), as the former is ran before the latter. Turrets have also been improved, as their bullets get destroyed after coming into contact with any collider, not just the player, and they aim better.
CHANGELIST / TR;DR -Added large spiky balls of death and physic materials -Added a fourth level -Added small warning posters -New trap variants -New health bar -New start menu -New pause menu - press "esc" -Fixed bullets only being destroyed after hitting player and turrets' aiming -Fixed stuttering platforms
For next update, I will be finishing up World 1 and perhaps starting work on World 2. The fifth and final level in this world will be a bit bigger than the previous ones, and feature a puzzle in order to advance forward. So far, it looks promising.
If you want to try the game out, the link is the same as it always has been: play it here! And thanks for playing!

The New Archie & Jughead Reviewed
Archie, the classic of all classics…rejuvenated. Mark Waid in the new Archie takes all the greatness of the last 75 years and adds nuances for the modern era, for instance, using cell phones to add effect to the breakup of Betty and Archie in the beginning of the story, a break up which sets the emotional stage at Riverdale High. The series starts with the huge fight that has gone for ages, Betty vs Veronica. Archie has just broken up with Betty after the "Lipstick Incident". The school tries to get them back together through prom but Jughead is wise enough to thwart that plan because it would be forced. Now the Lodges have moved in and are building their house that Archie accidentally destroys, sending Mr.Lodge on a man hunt for the person responsible. The reason Archie accidentally destroyed the house was his being star struck by Veronica's beauty. Later Jughead, Betty, and Reggie Mantle plot to save Archie from himself because of Veronica turning out to be a total wench. There begins the biggest rivalry of all time to many. Betty vs Veronica. The art of Archie by Fiona Staples, is very fun to look at and the covers are especially cool. This is a very promising, fun, and lighthearted start to the Archie we know and love.
Volume One trade collection is out now
Jughead, Archie's best friend. The classic Jughead is still very prominent in this new interpretation but with a little more fun. His love for hamburgers is rekindled by his obvious skill in which I mean him making hamburger in a culinary class out of desperation for real food after the lunchroom now serving high nutrition grule. Now his own individual comics take their own weird twist with the descendant of Archie from the future. She wants him to save the future and the now. It seems the new cruel principal is turning them to soldier through PE, the meals, etc. Jughead decides it must not stand and gathers his friends to do something about it. Also when Jughead falls into deep sleep mode after a lack of good food there are funny alternate realities he dreams like Game of Jones, instead of Game of Thrones. Jughead uses great sarcastic humor, pop culture references and craving for burgers to drive this comic to success. The comic doesn't require much thinking, it's just fun.
Overall, the rejuvenation of Archie has been a success and has everything required to make Archie great. Hopefully later they might start Betty and Veronica comic books, who knows? The future looks bright for Archie Comics.

text: Share: Comments Print May 22, 2009 at 3:25 PM Storm cuts third-round draft picks Mara Freshour, Kim Beck Posted by Jayda Evans Across the WNBA, agents have wondered why the league held a three-round draft because of the difficulty in making a roster this season. Late-round picks Mara Freshour and Kimberly Beck (2008 pick) are the latest casualties, getting cut by the Storm today. Freshour, a 6-foot-1 guard/forward from Florida State, knew she was a long shot when drafted. She said she'd try to play overseas if things didn't work in the WNBA and completed her degree as a backup plan. Stating she was overwhelmed at everything being thrown at her during training camp, she played about seven minutes in Thursday's game against Sacramento, missing both shot attempts, grabbing a rebound and committing one foul. Freshour was in a camp battle for the shooting guard/small forward position and needed to show an immediate ability to make shots. Especially since veteran F Katie Gearlds is being considered to possibly backup Swin Cash and invitees La'Tangela Atkinson and Aja Parham are also in the running. Both of those players had better showings than Freshour on Thursday. Parham performed better in practice, but suffered from food poisoning prior to the game. Determined to play, she was 1-of-4 from the field, had two steals, one block, one board, and committed four fouls in 16 minutes. Atkinson was a highlight reel, finishing with five points, four boards, four assists, and two steals in 16 minutes. Beck (pictured right) and A'Quonesia Franklin were battling for the PG position. Beck, a 5-8 George Washington product, was waived and re-signed last season. She has a good rapport with the team, but it seems the Storm is lacking on the wing and looking closer at those players. Beck injured her right knee on a play against Sacramento, but didn't want to leave the game. "It'll probably be sore," today she said after playing 13 minutes and scoring three points with no assists. Franklin had three assists and three points in 18 minutes and the offense seemed to run a littler better with her. Beck has better conditioning, however. The Storm is off today and expects G Tanisha Wright at camp this weekend. Her arrival will give the team 12 active players and two Australians overseas. Comments

Grip It & Rip It: FCIAC notebook
With change comes opportunity. And in high school athletics, where the turnover is pretty high each year, opportunities for players to step up and fill specific roles are plentiful.
The Grip It and Rip It 7-on-7 Passing Tournament at New Canaan High School the past two days gave some first-year varsity football players and competitors that were on their respective teams last season, but will have a larger role this fall, a chance to build rapport and chemistry with their teammates.
Here's a look at some of the FCIAC teams that attended in the Grip It and Rip It Passing Tournament.
DARIEN: Graduation claimed starting quarterback Timmy Graham, who helped lead the Blue Wave to the FCAIC and CIAC Class LL titles. Brian Peters, a rising senior, received all of the repetitions at quarterback on Saturday for the Blue Wave.
"I'm feeling great, I've been putting a lot of hard work in to get ready," Peters said. "I have big shoes to fill with Timmy leaving. I watched a lot of film with him last year and he taught me so many things about being a quarterback. I feel I'm ready to help the team continue its success."
Tim Herget, a rising senior cornerback/running back knows he must step up to help fill the void left by the graduation of offensive standouts such as Colin Minicus, Shelby Grant and Hudson Hamill to name a few.
"Last year's group was such a talented group of players," Herget said. "They set the bar high, so we have all been putting in hard work during the offseason and we want to raise the bar higher."
Matthew Maignan, Spencer Jarecke, Riley Stewart and Patrick Burke are receivers Darien will rely upon to help spark the offense.
"We have a lot of depth on offense," Herget said.
NEW CANAAN: The defending Class L champion Rams are also rebuilding at quarterback thanks to the graduation of star Michael Collins, who spearheaded an offense that helped ignite the team's 2015 championship season.
Senior James Crovatto, senior Spencer Williams and freshman Drew Pyne are vying for the starting quarterback job. The Rams also have some spots to fill on defense, so the tournament was a good way for the team to get on the same page.
"This has been our best turnout here over the past few years," said senior right guard/defensive lineman Teddy Hood, one of the squad's captains. "We're concentrating on meshing before we begin practice in August. For a few seasons, we haven't meshed as well as we wanted to early in the season. We want to get our reps in and improve our chemistry."
Said linebacker James Freyre, also one of the senior captains: "Normally we don't get a chance to work as a team that's not playing our offense, so this camp is a great chance for us to improve our communication on defense. Hopefully, this will help carry us into the season."
TRINITY CATHOLIC: Senior Nick Grenata got all of the repetitions at the passing camp for the Crusaders, who advanced to the Class S tournament semifinals a year ago.
"He did a nice job, especially since we did not have spring football," Trinity Catholic coach Donny Panapada said. "Our defense is ahead of our offense, which is usually the case at this point. But the main thing for us is to get better every day and be ready by our first game (Sept. 10)."
Senior Dominick Svrcek (receiver), junior Jon Petrizzi (receiver) and senior Gerardo Gonzalez (tight end) should help spearhead the offense.
"We have a lot of guys, we won't rely on one person offensively," Panapada said. "It is a good group with a lot of potential."
ST. JOSEPH: The Cadets don't have to fill the quarterback position, as standout Corey Babineau (a rising senior) returns for his third season under center. But the rest of the team's offense is inexperienced.
"He (Babineau) understands our offense and what we are trying to do," St. Joseph coach Joe DellaVecchia said. "But other than two linemen, he is the only one back on offense. We have brand new receivers, so a lot will be on his shoulders."
NORWALK: Rising junior AJ Hall has the inside track to win the starting quarterback role for the Bears.
"We're very happy with what we have seen from him so far," Bears coach Sean Ireland said. "This was the first action he has seen against a varsity defense. The more reps our younger kids get the better."

Amasa Stone Chapel on Case Western Reserve University's campus is a gorgeous setting for a wedding ceremony. This bride and groom could barely contain their excitement during their intimate ceremony. Once they walked back up the aisle as husband and wife, their happiness and joy overflowed. This is what I call The Moment After. The ceremony is finished. You're married. You're husband and wife. The relief, happiness, joy, love and tears, that I witness and capture as a Cleveland wedding photographer are translated into treasured images. This moment, The Moment After, is probably my favorite moment of every wedding. This happy bride and groom were photographed at Amasa Stone Chapel wedding, by Cleveland wedding photographer Lindsey Beckwith. Specializing in raw, intimate photography.

Since the origin of the word "philosophy" is rooted in both Latin and Greek, and the Greek original word "philosophia," literally means "love of knowledge, pursuit of wisdom," why does the Bible seem to treat it as something bad in Colossians 2:8?
An article appearing in the August 1, 2001 Watchtower stated: Paul sounded that warning because he sensed a real danger lurking behind the thinking of those attracted by the world. His use of the term "philosophy and empty deception" is especially significant. The word "philosophy" literally means "the love and pursuit of wisdom." That in itself may be beneficial. In fact, the Bible, particularly in the book of Proverbs, encourages the pursuit of the right kind of knowledge and wisdom. (Proverbs 1:1-7; 3:13-18) Paul, however, coupled "philosophy" with "empty deception." In other words, Paul viewed the wisdom that the world had to offer as empty and deceptive. Like an inflated balloon, it had the appearance of solidity, but there was no substance to it. It would certainly be futile, even disastrous, to base one's choice of right and wrong on something as insubstantial as "the philosophy and empty deception" of the world.
In agreement with that is the "David Guzik Commentary on the Bible." In section B, items 1.a.ii and 1.a.iii, are quoted in the following two paragraphs:
This philosophy that threatened the Colossian Christians was a strange eclectic mix of early Gnosticism, Greek philosophy, local mystery religions, and Jewish mysticism. The philosophy threatening the Colossian Christians was so dangerous because it was not obviously sinful and licentious. It was a high-sounding and seemed highly intelligent.
Vincent on the word philosophy: "It had originally a good meaning, the love of wisdom, but is used by Paul in the sense of vain speculation, and with special reference to its being the name by which the false teachers at Colossae designated not only their speculative system, but also their practical system, so that it covered their ascetic practices no less than mysticism.
So what conclusion have I reached? Here are my reflections:One main problem God has with human philosophy is that it is usually opposed to the wisdom God offers. Proverbs 3:7; 19:21; 21:30. Although it may sound very intelligent and open-minded, it really doesn't amount to anything better than what the Bible offers. (And in most cases actually amounts to little more than "hot air." Or, as the Bible calls it, "empty deception.") In fact, usually people seek out human wisdom because it frees them from the moral obligation to their creator. They "think" they are wise, but in reality they are only fooling themselves. Another concern God has with human wisdom is the negative effect it has. Whereas true, godly wisdom ought to help its owner develop humility and a peaceful disposition. The qualities of humility and peace are a powerful lesson even for those who think they know the Bible well. If what they know makes them cocky, arrogant, unapproachable, then they really have not learned godly wisdom.

How our extraordinary people help to build fulfilling lives
From day one to this day T had surprised us all with how happy he is and that, of course, has reflected on his behaviour.
As his Mother I had given up all hope of seeing T happy, contented, calm and living somewhere close to home. I cannot praise the staff enough. They have got to know T and his needs and foibles and whilst there is still the potential for challenging behaviour I have to say it seems a thing of the past. But, I feel totally confident that the staff would be able to deal with any incidents should they arise.
Hopefully, Sansa House will be T's forever home.

I had a customer who came in, asked our opinion about car seats, had us show her how they all fit in her car, talked through options, how to install, how to keep the kid buckled in properly, and even how to clean up after a spill. After several trips out to her car with car seats, she told us she would be back to purchase. One week later she stopped in to ask if we could help install her car seat. It was still in the box with the shipping label from the online site where she ordered it still attached!
Some of you are already hopping mad. I understand your reaction. I was telling this story to a friend who said her initial response would have been to refuse to install the seat, telling the customer to ask the online website where she ordered it to install the seat.
Here is what we did.
We gladly installed the seat. We talked through all the options of where to place the seat, what is the safest way to travel with a baby, how to install the seat, how to adjust the straps, and then helped her get it properly installed in her car. Then we invited her back if she ever needed help with that seat or any other seat.
Some of you might think I'm crazy. We gained nothing from that customer, yet we spent valuable resources on her (our time, our expertise, etc). She showroomed us.
The way I see it, she showed up. She took the time to come to my store - twice! Now it is my responsibility to make sure she has an awesome time at my store. It is my responsibility that she gets phenomenal customer service whether or not she makes a purchase at that time.
Because I sell far more than car seats and she will need to buy far more than just that one car seat. I may have lost the opportunity to sell that one car seat, but since she came back to the store, she has given me an opportunity to sell her other things she might need either today or down the road.
Because I treasure Word-of-Mouth advertising. She may not have given me the sale, but if I treat her just as rudely as she treated me, she'll bad mouth me to everyone she knows (conveniently leaving out her own behavior). If I treat her well, at the very least she has nothing bad to say, but more likely she will say something positive about us.
Because I like the challenge a customer like this presents to us. You have heard the phrase,
"You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink."One of my staff told me the other day,
"You can lead a horse to water, and if you can get him to float on his back, then you really have something."Customers like these are a great training ground for the staff. If we can turn them from showroomers into customers, then we really have something. If we don't, at least we got valuable training on what doesn't get work.
Don't look at showrooming as a problem. Look at it as an opportunity. Get those customers to float on their backs, and then you really have something.
-Phil Wrzesinski
PS If you don't feel you have the resources to help them or if your resources need to be spent on other customers, then do what you have to do. But never ever stoop to the rudeness of your rudest customers. That's a competition you can never win.

If you haven't been living under a rock over the past 50 years, you already know that Disney is pretty big. You can't go out on Halloween without seeing several Disney-related costumes. While Disney boasts a ton of classic movies with endless numbers of beloved characters, some of their more recent releases feature memorable characters that are already being welcomed into the fold with open arms by both kids and adults. Don't forget that both Star Wars and Marvel are now properties of Disney as well. With ALL the options available, we've laid some groundwork for you and picked out a few of the top Disney costumes for Halloween 2015!
Child Joy Costume - Shop Child Anger Costume - Shop
Child Disgust Costume - Shop Adult Joy Costume - Shop
Inside Out is the latest film from Disney and Pixar studios. It explores the emotions of a young girl named Riley who is going through a difficult time when her family moves from Minnesota to California. The thing that makes the story fun and unique is that it's mostly told from the perspective of Riley's feelings, little beings inside her head that control her mind through a control panel.
Joy is the leader of the group and learns through this journey that sometimes other emotions, like sadness and anger, need to take control at times. Just remember, if you dress as one of the emotions for Halloween, you don't need to act like that emotion for the whole night -especially if you choose disgust or anger!
Adult Red Baymax Costume - Shop Adult White Baymax Costume - Shop
Child Red Baymax Costume - Shop Child White Baymax Costume - Shop
With the success of superheroes on the big screen in recent years, it's no surprise that Disney released a superhero film aimed at younger audiences. Big Hero 6 was a massive hit and people can't enough Baymax. Now you can dress up as the lovable, albeit sometimes clumsy, personal healthcare companion for Halloween! Whether you want dress in his red battle armor or just the classic white design, there's a Baymax costume for both kids and adults. Both versions are really cool, but unfortunately neither will give you supreme healthcare tools or advanced ninja skills. If you seek medical help, still call a doctor. If you need to fight someone, call a ninja.
Adult Anna Costume - Shop Child Elsa Costume - Shop Child Olaf Costume - Shop
Child Anna Costume - Shop Adult Elsa Costume - Shop
Frozen became an instant classic when it was released and still remains one of the most popular Disney film of recent years. In fact, popularity was so high that Disney released a "sing-along" version of the film a year later -just in case you don't already know all the words to "Let It Go." Disney princesses are nothing new when it comes to Halloween costumes (see below), but Anna and Elsa may be near the top of the list for the foreseeable future. It's an especially great Halloween choice for two sisters, or two gal pals!
Adult Darth Vader Costume - Shop Child Luke Skywalker Costume - Shop Child Princess Leia Costume - Shop
Toddler Yoda Costume - Shop Child Boba Fett Costume - Shop Adult Stormtrooper Costume - Shop
Ever since the first time "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…" scrolled across the big screen, Star Wars has captivated audiences of all ages. Now, with Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm and the anticipation of Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens, Star Wars mania is back and bigger than ever! But lets be real, even with the disappointment that was Episodes I-III, Star Wars hype never went away. The Force will be strong with you if you dress as any of these fan favorite Halloween costumes.
Adult Kanan Costume - Shop Child Ezra Costume - Shop Child Sabine Costume - Shop
Child Zeb Costume - Shop Adult Inquisitor Costume - Shop
After Disney acquired Lucasfilm, it didn't take long for them to bring Star Wars to the small screen. If you're a fan of Star Wars, but haven't seen Star Wars Rebels yet, you don't know what you're missing! The show takes place in between the prequel trilogy and the original trilogy, and is inspired by concept art from the originals. While following the new crew of rebels, the show also features popular franchise characters like Yoda and Darth Vader. Star Wars Rebels is a great way for parents to introduce their kids to the world of Star Wars, and with our new costumes they'll be able to dress as characters from the show for Halloween 2015!
Adult Black Widow Costume - Shop Child Hulk Costume - Shop Child Hulkbuster Costume - Shop
Child Ultron Costume - Shop Adult Vision Costume - Shop
While being acquired by Disney in 2009, Marvel was already on it's way to becoming a cinematic powerhouse. Ever since the release of their first movie back in 2012, The Avengers have not only been Earth's mightiest heroes, but also Earth's most popular heroes. Earlier this year, we had the second Avengers team-up on screen with Age of Ultron in May, and the team is set to re-appear in next years "Captain America: Civil War." Superhero costumes have always been popular through the years, but The Avengers will surely reign supreme for Halloween 2015.
Adult Jasmine Costume - Shop Child Belle Costume - Shop Child Tiana Costume - Shop
Child Cinderella Costume - Shop Child Rapunzel Costume - Shop Adult Ariel Costume - Shop
As we mentioned before, Disney has always had a seemingly endless list of classic characters. One of the most common classics for dressing up as are the princesses. From original favorites like Cinderella, to more modern princesses like Tiana or Rapunzel, and even fan favorites like Ariel and Belle, there's a dress to match any girl's (or woman's!) style. With the hightened popularity of new characters Elsa and Anna, Halloween 2015 might just be all about the Disney Princesses.
Jake Costume - Shop Izzy Costume - Shop Doc McStuffins Costume - Shop
Sophia the First Costume - Shop Miles from Tomorrowland Costume - Shop
The Disney Junior channel launched in 2011 and, since then, Disney has developed plenty of popular original shows that are great for kids AND don't make parents want to pull their hair out. Although the shows feature original characters and storylines, they also take place in the worlds of other, well-known Disney characters. For example, Peter Pan shows up on occasion to help out Jake and his pirate crew, or Sophia the First, a princess-in-training, receives tips and learns lessons from other Disney princesses at times. We have a Halloween costume for even the the youngest of Disney fans with our selection of Disney Junior character costumes.
Are you or your kids going to dress as Disney characters this Halloween? Who are some of your favorite Disney characters of all time? Do you think Disney villains have more fun, or is better to be good?

Why Have White Storks Stopped Migrating?
Instead of Summers in Northern Europe and Winters in Africa many storks are living year round in Spain and Portugal. Feeding in garbage dumps may be one factor. I wonder why the article didn't mention drought in Africa as another possible cause.
A new project to find out why storks are changing their migratory patterns has been launched by the University of East Anglia.
... since the mid 1980s increasing numbers of storks have stopped their annual migration from Northern Europe to Africa for the winter.
Instead, many are living in Spain and Portugal the whole year round -- feeding on 'junk food' from rubbish dumps.
Views: 82
I would think weather would be a reason - climate change.
"They are also breeding in new areas in the north of the country -- and we think this may be because the climate has changed to become more suitable for them. So climate change is another likely factor."
Exactly my hypothesis - then I found it mentioned in the article.

Student activities do not stop after the sun goes down, but some women feel unsafe walking the campus after dark.
"St. Charles is a relatively safe area, but things still happen," said Sam Annunziata, a resident at Lindenwood.
The campus uses outdoor lighting to keep students safe, but there are still many dark areas that make students leery.
"There are lights in all the wrong places," senior Jessi Poddig said, "all grouped over by the new dorms in the parking lot."
"I walk in the places that have lights," Annunziata said, "but that means I'm not able to go certain places after dark."
Commuter student Becky Pearson said she feels the campus is safe after dark, but lighting becomes a bigger issue when a student's only means of transportation is walking.
"Not everyone has a car to stay safe," Annunziata said.
Such is the case for Adela Slovakova who lives in women's housing. With no other means of transportation, Slovakova walks to her house from the main campus everyday. She believes more lighting for streets leading to her neighborhood would be beneficial.
Some women take precautions to protect themselves after dark such as carrying pepper spray or holding keys in their fists. Others avoid waking alone.
"I have to have someone with me," said R.A. Jessica Bock.
Campus security is available to escort students on campus if they feel unsafe, said Terry Russell, Dean of Students.
Student opinions differ over what area of campus needs more lighting. Dark areas that concern students include the quad, the area behind the Performance Arena, the library, certain dorms and parking lots. Students said the addition of more outdoor lights would make them feel safer on campus.
"Since our campus is growing there is more night life, but also more dangers, especially for girls," Bock said. "They're going to need a lot more lights with the construction of the new student center."
Head of security, Kurt Smith, refused to comment on the issue.
There have been several reports of suspicious behavior in the past couple years, but no reported attacks this school year, Russell said.
Katarina Rather, another Lindenwood student, believes lights would do more than simply improve security.
"I don't think campus crime is too bad," she said, "but having more lights would make it feel like you're supposed to be on campus after dark. It feels like a lock down."
Lighting on campus is not a new issue. New lights have been installed in the past three years, and the issue has been an ongoing topic at LSGA meetings. Kurt Smith, the head of security, recently attended a meeting to discuss the issue.
"Kurt Smith has approached this situation and many others willing and ready to make the adjustments necessary to address any concerns," said Dan Bedell, president of the LSGA. "He pointed out that there are plans in the works to add more lighting to the campus."
"We have been adding lights in several locations for the past few years," Russell said, "but there are always areas that are identified as needing lights and we work on getting those areas done as quickly as we can."
LSGA strives to voice the concerns of the student body. Officers will be addressing issues such as lighting in meetings with President James Evans this semester.
"As our campus expands more and more, we will encounter new areas that could use some additional lighting," Bedell said. "Every student will find areas of campus that concern them. For the Student Government to address the issues we must be made aware and I promise we will address the issue."

So, someone who spent the last ten summers in Las Vegas and the last four weeks in Houston, Atlanta and Orlando should not be complaining about the weather in southern California. But I'm going to for a minute. Yesterday it was 97 here and over 100 everywhere inland. Today was almost as bad. The big difference is that, for the first time in my adult life, my home does not have air conditioning. They promised "coastal breezes for natural cooling" when we moved in. That works when it's 79, not 97. So we have been leaving our home as a family this weekend and hanging out at the mall, the bookstore, Starbucks and the movie theater. Turns out that strategy is as expensive as a regular power bill...I guess its a wash.
I'm going to stand in front of a fan now.

Using Mold Resistant Paint Will Prevent Future Problems
Since one of the largest fears that a homeowner has is that their home will be overrun with mold, many homeowners opt to spend the extra money on mold resistant drywall to protect their investment. The first thing that must be mentioned is that even if you use this type of drywall and use mold resistant paint on your sheetrock, you can still develop a mold problem down the road. This material is simply harder for mold to get a good hold of and flourish. If you are in the market for mold resistant drywall be sure to take a look at all of your options since there are a number of reputable manufacturers out there.
Mold In The Bathroom
The majority of mold problems that people have begin in the bathroom. This is a reasonable thing since it's the place that you use water the most inside your home. Most of the mold resistant items that are created are for the bathroom such as mold resistant caulk for shower, a special liner for the shower and even certain types of glue for the fixtures. Even though it is not a good idea, in our opinion, you can also get mold resistant carpet that can be used in there if you want.
Mold Resistant Drywall
When it comes to installing mold resistant drywall there are no secrets. You should utilize the same methods and steps to install it as you would if you were putting up standard drywall. If you are handy around the house you may want to try to save a lot of money and do it on your own. If you are not so confident in your ability to produce quality drywall work then you may want to hire a professional to do the job. The reason that this work has to be great, as opposed to some other stuff in your home, is because it is fully exposed to the people who come in. First of all, the drywall is easy to see and never really gets covered up with things that can hide problems. Secondly, it does not take a professional eye to see flaws in the work. Even the most inexperienced eye can see bad installation methods.
If you choose to install your own mold resistant drywall please follow these tips. Use the right tools. It may cost a few extra dollars to get some things you do not currently own, but it is money well spent. Use mesh or tape between boards so that you have a nice seam. Some people opt to fill the seam with compound and no tape and they just end up having to do the job over again. Lastly, go at your own pace regardless of how slow it seems to be. It takes less time to do the job once slowly than it takes to do the job fast the first time and then go back and fix all of the errors you made due to rushing yourself.

intermediate sessions for recent joiners or returners. If there is something you want to achieve with your archery, whether that be a little extra advice now and
then to stop the odd bad habit creeping in, or you want to start competing locally, regionally or nationally, we can offer advice and support to help you get there.
The club has over 100 members, which span all ages and bow types. Every Sunday we stop for tea, biscuits and a chat for 15 minutes or so, and we have a number

The Skinny on Closing Costs
Both buyer and seller incur a number of costs on the way to concluding an apartment transaction. Here's a summary of the costs to be incurred by each party when an apartment is sold:
Purchase Application and Other Managing Agent Related Fees
The gatekeeper for most New York City transactions, is the managing agent for the particular co-op or condominium involved in the sale. Managing agents process the application and forward copies of the application to each board member. Managing agents charge fees to one or both parties in connection with the application and those fees start at $500 for an application and go up from there. There are also fees charged if a purchaser is financing a portion of the transaction, and fees will also be collected as a deposit (sometimes refundable, sometimes not), for moving in and out of the building. For a greater understanding of how managing agents work, see "The Managing Agent."
The Flip Tax
In some buildings, the sale of an apartment also generates a "flip tax" which is collected by the cooperative corporation or condominium at closing. This cost is usually 1% to 3% of the purchase price and is generally paid by seller. A few buildings, however, do require the purchaser to pay this cost. In any event, who ultimately pays the flip tax is often a point of negotiation, particularly in a stressed out real estate market.
New York City and New York State Transfer Taxes
When purchasing a co-op or condo, transfer taxes are payable to both New York City and New York State. These taxes, which range from 1% to 1.425% for New York City and $2 for each $500 of consideration for New York State, are generally paid by the seller. This point can be negotiated, but transfer taxes are rarely paid by the purchaser unless the purchase is an original sale from a sponsor.
The "Mansion Tax"
If you are fortunate enough to purchase an apartment for $1,000,000 or more, as purchaser, you will be obligated to pay what is affectionately known as the "Mansion Tax." This cost adds 1% of the purchase price to your closing costs (e.g., a $2,000,000 purchase price equals a $20,000 Mansion Tax). Congratulations!
Legal Fees
Legal fees for residential transactions vary widely. Sometimes fees are fixed and sometimes not. In a down economy, downsized attorneys turn to real estate closings to survive, so beware of bottom feeders. Even small transactions (in terms of price) can get complicated very quickly. The quality and experience of an attorney usually falls into the category of "you get what you pay for". Make sure your attorney is practicing law and not just processing another file on his or her way to something more interesting. Transactions such as estate sales, purchases by unmarried couples requiring co-ownership agreements and foreclosure or bank work-out sales, transactions that require extensive due diligence or contract negotiation, or where higher-end attorneys are involved, may result in higher fees or the rendering of services by the hour.
Bank Fees
If you are financing a part of the purchase price of your apartment, you will also incur fees from the lending bank. These fees may include origination costs (often called "points"), application and credit report fees, appraisal charges, bank attorney fees, escrows for real estate taxes and insurance and various other charges. Your mortgage broker will be able to give you a complete breakdown of these charges when you're shopping for a mortgage loan.
Title Charges
Title insurance rates are set by government regulation in New York and can vary by county. For example, in Manhattan (New York County), a purchase price of $1,000,000.00, with a mortgage of $600,000.00, will generate a fee policy premium of $4,508.00 and a mortgage policy premium of $732.00 (for a total premium cost of $5,240.00, excluding other title charges such as municipal searches and other required title endorsements). When you are purchasing from a sponsor (that is, a developer of a new condominium building), you may get the benefit of discounted title insurance premiums because the same policy is being written for a large number of unit owners. It is always a good idea to ask the title company to generate an estimated title bill as soon as possible, so that the buyer will be apprised of the expected title charges as soon as possible.
Mortgage Recording Tax
A feature unique to New York State, is the mortgage recording tax (that is, a fee charged by the state for the "privilege" of recording a mortgage). This fee, for the moment, applies only to real estate purchases (as opposed to coop purchases), so only condominium transactions are subject to the tax. The fee charged by New York State varies by county, and, of course, New York City has the most complicated fee schedule. In addition, New York City charges a mortgage recording fee as well. The combined total rates for New York City are calculated as follows:
When the principal amount of the loan is less than $500,000, the tax rate is $2.05 for each $100 of the principal amount of the loan. However, if the mortgage is on a one- or two-family house, the tax is reduced by $0.30 for each $100 of the first $10,000 of the principal amount.
For mortgage loan amounts greater than $500,000 the tax rate is $2.175 for each $100, or major fraction thereof, of the principal amount. If the mortgage is on a one- or two-family house, the tax is reduced by $0.30 for each $100 of the first $10,000 of the principal amount.
Where mortgage loan amount is $500,000 or more and the property to be covered is not a one-, two, or three-family house or individual residential condominium unit, the tax rate is $2.80 for each $100, or major fraction thereof, of the principal amount.
The above being said, make sure to include a line item for the mortgage recording tax if you are purchasing a condo and you are financing a portion of the transaction.
Estimated New York State Capital Gains Tax
If you are selling an apartment and you are not a resident of New York State and don't qualify for certain exemptions, you will be required to make an estimated New York State capital gains tax payment at the closing. The 8% tax is payable on the difference between the tax basis of the original purchase price (adjusted for closing costs, improvements and depreciation, if a rental property) and the sale price of the apartment, less closing costs. If you have owned the apartment for a considerable period of time, there can be a significant gain that will be taxed. Accordingly, your accountant or tax planner should be in the loop when you plan to sell the apartment and you no longer reside in New York.
Architect and Engineering Fees
Although not actually a closing item, if you are planning a renovation of your apartment after purchasing, you will be obligated to sign an "alteration agreement" with the co-op or condo, and in some cases, deposit a sum of money to protect against damages incurred during renovation. This deposit may be refunded if the renovation goes smoothly, depending on the Board's policy in your particular building. This agreement indemnifies the building against anything that might go wrong during construction or at any time thereafter that causes the building to suffer a monetary loss as a result of your renovation. In connection with your request for alterations, the Board may have its architect or engineer review your plans. In most cases, you will be obligated to reimburse the building for the "reasonable" costs they incur in reviewing your alteration application.
Pre-Purchase Inspections
Most brokers would encourage a buyer not to have a pre-purchase inspection of the apartment. In many cases, the inspection isn't necessary, but it can never hurt to have a professional walk through the apartment. Of course the quality of the inspection depends upon the quality of the inspector. Getting a referral you can depend on is essential. Expect to pay up to $1,000.00 for a pre-purchase inspection, depending upon the experience of the inspector and the size of the apartment.
Insurance Coverage
Although not usually a requirement for a co-op or condo closing (but always required for a house purchase when a bank is involved), a purchaser of an apartment should obtain an insurance policy covering the contents of the apartment (that is furniture and personal property), what's known as "betterments" (that is, the interior build out of the apartment) and liability coverage for injury to person or property. The cost of insurance can vary significantly depending upon whether a purchaser uses a plain vanilla carrier such as Travelers of a high end company such as Chubb or Fireman's Fund. No matter which insurance company is selected, make sure the coverage is in place on the day of closing. An apartment is a significant asset for most purchasers. Make sure it's properly insured.
Residential Reality: Get Out Your Checkbooks
Purchasing an apartment in New York is an expensive proposition and that's before you get to Williams Sonoma and Pottery Barn. Make sure your attorney and mortgage broker review all of the above costs with you, so nothing comes as a surprise.

Update As Edward Pain pointed out, the latest version of ASE (soon to be SL4A) changed the TTS and the way that dictionaries are called. I've updated this script to take these into account. Thanks Ed!
So I've been loving having the DROID around. I don't even mind carrying a phone in each pocket because it's totally worth it. My most recent obsession is the Android Scripting Environment (ASE)
Basically, it allows you to write code in high-level languages like python, bash, perl, etc, right on the device. This is when a physical keyboard is really handy. So I downloaded the app and started messing around with the included python scripts. I've never coded anything in python before, but I have programmed in a bunch of other languages, so it really wasn't hard at all. By far the coolest pre-installed script was the Text-To-Speech (TTS) example. I'm not sure what it is about making computers/devices say funny stuff that makes me laugh so much, but its really fun.
I soon noticed as I was cracking myself up over making the DROID say things like "Then I put my hands up, they're playing my song" that I'd really like the option to repeat what it just said. So I decided to code it. Please be gentle on me; I do not profess to be an expert coder, I just hack stuff together till it works. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
First thing I did was take the original code and wrap it in a while loop. This will repeat the phrase as many times as I like, as long as the condition remains true:
"""Speak user generated text."""
__author__ = ' Brett Peterson <firstname.lastname@example.com>'
import android
droid = android.Android()
message = droid.getInput('TTS', 'What would you like to say?').result
repeat = droid.getInput('repeat', 'Repeat? Y/N').result
while repeat == "y":
repeat = droid.getInput('repeat', 'Repeat? Y/N').result
That while loop repeats the phrase as long as the user types "y", anything else will have it move on. So just like that, with no previous python experience and a couple google searches later, I tailored the script to fit my specific need. I could have stopped there, but another thing that I didn't like about the tiny original script was the fact that I would have to reset it every time I wanted to do a new one. I decided it would be better if after I chose not to repeat the previous phrase, I could choose to do another one:
"""Speak user generated text."""
__author__ = 'Damon Kohler <firstname.lastname@example.com> modified by Brett Peterson <firstname.lastname@example.com>'
__copyright__ = 'Copyright (c) 2009, Google Inc.'
__license__ = 'Apache License, Version 2.0′
import android
droid = android.Android()
newOne = "y"
while newOne == "y":
message = droid.getInput('TTS', 'What would you like to say?').result
repeat = droid.getInput('repeat', 'Repeat? Y/N').result
while repeat == "y":
repeat = droid.getInput('repeat', 'Repeat? Y/N').result
newOne = droid.getInput('Have another go?', 'y/n').result
So I put a while loop around the whole thing and at the end just asked the user if they would like to have another go. That's it! Try writing it yourself, or open up ASE and click Menu > Add > Scan barcode and scan the below file. Enjoy

Hung out with davemerrill and dwinghy and watched the awesome J-Men Forever, an edited-together-and-redubbed collection of various old movie serials (in which Captain Marvel becomes the Caped Madman). Completely hilarious, and I could not believe afterwards that it was from 1979, something that good could have only come from the personal computer age.
As part of my resolution to hear more classical music, went to a performance at Trinity College of the Cecilia String Quartet, which was awesome in a completely different way. An hour and a half of amazing strings, that the audience was so small was criminal.
Last weekend managed to get some riding as as the weather finally improved. Made it out to Oshawa (70 km) for also certainly the last time this year on the Saturday. Dave came over in the evening and we watched Speed Racer, which was great, and undeservedly panned by the critics. The only thing the DVD lacked was an actual old episode for the show as an extra.
Sunday was busy. Rode the bike into work first thing in the morning for an hour or so, as I needed to get a report to the Americans for Monday morning (Thanksgiving holiday here) and I just couldn't finish it on Friday. It let me get some extra riding in at least. In the afternoon went to a meeting of a board game meetup group I had just found out about. They meet once a month at the Foxes Den and play (complicated) (German) board games all day. Had a go at Thurns and Taxis, which is about the establishment of the German postal system, and a lot of fun regardless.
In the evening went over to the Penney's for some Thanksgiving dinner. Thanks guys!
Monday sat around playing Runescape on the computer until the evening, when my brother and I (and Janet, making a surprise visit) met with Aaron for a farewell dinner before he heads off to a new life in Costa Rica. With his four cats.
But Tuesday I was at the TRL for one of the first events in the new Bram and Bluma Appel Salon series. They've recently completed new large meeting and event space at the TRL, and have a whole pile of author events and the like planned for it. Tuesday was Anne Marie Tremonti interviewing Tim Flannery, an Australian author on The Weather Makers, his book on climate change. Excellent turnout and a good evening.

email page print page
The subtitle of the British edition of this novel is "or How to Eat Your Husband," and the heart of the book is made clear in the first pages. Lizzie has killed her husband Jacob, and she has decided to do away with the evidence by consuming his body. They are in southern England and they have lived together in unhappiness for a long time, and she ruminates on their marriage as she cooks and eats Jacob. It is a physically repulsive process, and much of the book is Lizzie's advice to herself about how to accomplish the task, contrasted with a third person narrator telling the reader about what Lizzie or other characters are thinking and doing. She has to cope with her own retching and guilt. Then there are the practicalities about how to get rid of large bones and eat parts of the body that do not have much meat. Lizzie plans to move away from their small town and live in Scotland, so the big question is whether she will get away with her crime and be able to move away from her former life.
Most readers are going to find this book too much. It is unpleasant to contemplate the cooking and eating of a person, and this is described in detail. Might it be worth the effort? What is author Natalie Young trying to achieve? There seems to be some macabre humor but for the most part the book is serious. It's mostly about the anger that can build up in marriage, showing how bad a relationship can get. But there's also something about the extremity of experience and how it can lead to distortions of reality. We see Lizzie from the perspective of others, and she seems to be acting strangely. But for the majority of the time she just seems to be anxious rather than delusional.
Season to Taste is an odd book, and although it is not easy to consume nor very digestible, it does stay with you. The unabridged audiobook is performed by Gemma Whelan, who keeps up a surprisingly chipper tone. She does not provide very different voices for different characters, and that can sometimes be confusing, but she speaks with some gusto.

text: Arts & CultureMehdi Hasan joins Al Jazeera as host Al Jazeera English has announced that the leading British political journalist and commentator is joining the channel. 17 May 2012 09:20 GMT | Arts & Culture Al Jazeera English has announced today that leading British political journalist and commentator Mehdi Hasan is joining its ranks. He will host the channel's new series of The Cafe, its global talk show set in local coffee shops around the world featuring roundtables with national leaders, experts and activists. In its first series last year, The Cafe held discussions in Cairo, Nairobi, Sarajevo and Mumbai. Mehdi Hasan is the senior editor for politics at the New Statesman magazine in London and is a former news-and-current affairs editor at Channel 4 television. He is a well-known TV pundit, and has been a guest radio presenter. Mehdi is the biographer of Ed Miliband, the current leader of the British Labour Party, and a regular contributor to the Guardian and the Times newspapers. He previously worked as a producer on the Jonathan Dimbleby programme between 2003 and 2005 and has also produced interviews for Jeremy Vine and Adam Boulton. Paul Eedle, Al Jazeera English's director of programmes, said: "Mehdi began his career in television, working on some of the very best British political talk show programmes, and is now well known as a commentator in his own right." "He is a sharp interviewer and passionate debater who is not afraid to challenge conventional views - exactly what we value on Al Jazeera's discussion programmes," Eedle added. Mehdi Hasan said: "Al Jazeera English has unrivalled global reach in all its output and The Cafe is a great demonstration of that. I'm looking forward to the engagement with our guests and audiences from across the world." The Cafe's new series will be starting in July 2012.

Hi Vasilis,
the chromatic power and the dramatic effect in the sky make me think about an HDR treatment.
I like the lonely tree, as subject of your composition, which dark silhouette is outlined powerfully in the middle of a nice landscape, in this image with a very special luminosity.
This is an excellent work, very well executed.
Best regards, my friend,

Missed Opportunity
It's like love without heart… Today I was at Globus where the city of Shanghai is celebrated as the theme of the season, maybe to respond to the massive China ad campaign from Manor. Anyway, everywhere you can buy clothes, accessoires, noodles and other food from… ? But let's start with the beginning.
We come to Globus to buy some food and also to see the art of the chinese noodle cooks. Mr Ma Jun from Gansu performs the art of noodle making almost like Stephen Chow, the guy who made Shaolin Soccer and a bit earlier God of Cookery. But the problem is, Mr. Ma speaks no english word and his interpreter, a young chinese women living in Switzerland, is not always around. So he understandably feels already a bit awkward.
The second thing is – and I think it is an insult to his work – that he's just there to perform. So he makes great noodles of every thick- or thiness, but at the end, the finished noodles go back into the dough. So the whole thing is totally useless. Looking at Mr Ma's namecard, I don't think he's a guy who does noodle-making as an art performance, but rather as a cook to create food to be eaten.
I still have hope and go to the nearby stall where a swiss woman sells noodle dishes. I ask here if these are noodles made by Mr. Ma. As there is too much noise at that moment, I don't hear what she is saying and I continue to enquire about the proposed dishes. They look "lecker", but not very chinese, therefore I ask again: "Are these noodles Mr. Ma's noodles?" Now I understand here better. "No", she tells me, "that would be too complicated, the noodles are the ones we sell here", pointing with her arm behind her. I look at the japanese Udon and Soba noodles in the fridge behind her back and I am speechless. Later I find the same noodles again in the Globus magazine "Shanghai". As a neophyte I wouldn't know about the fact that these noodles have nothing to do with Shanghai nor China and I think that's almost criminal – it's willful misrepresentation.
Not only have Chinese and Japanese very distinguished noodle cultures (in Japan for example you always know when you eat "chinese" noodles), but I also find it absurd to fly in a noodle cook from Gansu, China, to do a performance where the most important is absent – the food. I would have loved to taste the noodles he just made – they would have been delicous, I am sure – and I am really angry at Globus to make such a sterile and "false" event out of it. I just expect more from this expensive kind of "grand magasin".

'The Shield' actor Michael Jace found guilty of wife's murder
Los Angeles: Actor Michael Jace, known for his work in American TV series The Shield, has been found guilty of second-degree murder in the death by shooting of his wife two years ago, a jury here has revealed.
Evidence had shown that Michael shot his wife, April Jace, in their Hyde Park home three times in May 2014, reports variety.com.
Michael's defense attorney, Jamon Hicks, advocated for a voluntary manslaughter conviction. He argued that, while Michael did kill his wife, there was not enough evidence to determine that the actor had planned the murder.
He also acknowledged that he killed his wife on 19 May 2014, in sight of their two young sons. After calling 911 and waiting for police, he told detectives that he only wanted to hurt his wife, not kill her, planning to shoot her in the leg with her father's revolver.
Prosecutors maintained that it was a premeditated attack. A prosecutor told the jury that he was angry at his wife for asking for a divorce.
He played a police officer in the FX crime drama. He also had small film roles in Forrest Gump and Boogie Nights, as well as on the TV show Southland.
