Stuff About Me
Tania Grubbs has an extensive vocal range and has a interesting take on unique literature.
Grubbs has been singing as long as she can remember, in many different venues and genres. She is a graduate of Youngstown State University. While a student there, she gravitated toward singing and learning about jazz starting with the classic American Songbook. Tania focused on listening to recordings of every vocalist she could get her hands on, and whenever possible, she would sing at jazz sessions. It was a little over 20 years ago at one of those jazz sessions, that she met her husband, bassist-Jeff Grubbs. Jeff's orchestral career landed the couple in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where they lived for 5 years. While there, Tania sang in many jazz clubs and performed in numerous concert settings and theatre productions. Tania was a featured vocalist with the Florida Philharmonic Orchestra and a member of the Voices of the Boca Pops Orchestra for 3 years. In 1996, Jeff won a position in the bass section with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and he is now on his 23rd season with the Orchesra.
Tania is the Co-Music Director at the Fairmont Pittsburgh, helping to oversee Jazz at Andys (a 3 night per week series) and considers herself an advocate and helps to cultivate jazz in Pittsburgh and beyond.
Today you will most likely hear Tania fronting their own jazz quartet, The Tania & Jeff Grubbs Quartet, featuring Jeff on Bass. She is also a part of TRAVLIN' an exciting quartet of musicians who play soulful, beautiful, honest, accessible songs. One of Tania's dreams is to travel the globe sharing her voice, music and passion for singing.
While in Pittsburgh, Tania has been a four-time recipient of the Ready for Life Grants, founded by the Heinz Foundation, working with young children through music and movement. She has also been a featured vocalist with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and has performed with the Civic Light Opera, Pittsburgh Cultural Trust Jazzlive Series, Pittsburgh Jazz Society, Washington Jazz Wine & Jazz Festival, Westmoreland Jazz Society as well as Butler Jazz Society. Tania remains active by touring nationally and conducts masterclasses for high schools and colleges.
Presently, Tania is writing and producing a series of six/80 minute concerts, titled the I AM Series Vols1-6, Tania likes to explain them as "mini documentaries". The concerts will be debuted at City of Asylum's Alphabet City throughout the year with the hopes that they can be performed in other venues throughout the country.
In 2014 Tania released her debut CD; Lost in the Stars..."as a mother of three and a woman who has been given the privilege to revisit the thing she loves to do-sing; I feel that now more than ever I have something to sing about"
Jeff and Tania are proud parents of three great kids, and they are honored to call Pittsburgh their home and to be part of its' rich musical legacy.

Update: Body of missing St. Louis ballerina discovered in Mark Twain Lake
MONROE COUNTY, Mo. – Missouri State Highway Patrol is requesting the public's help to find a missing St. Louis woman. Raffaella Maria Stroik, 23, was last seen Monday morning (Nov. 12), but her vehicle was located two hours away in rural Monroe County.
Stroik was last seen Monday at the Whole Foods Market in Town and Country. Sgt. Eric Brown with MSHP said she appeared to be alone.
Monday afternoon, a park ranger found Stroik's car unattended in a boat ramp parking lot at Mark Twain Lake State Park. At the time, the ranger did not find a missing person report for Stroik so no further action was taken.
Around 8:50 a.m. Tuesday (Nov. 13), a state trooper saw Stroik's car was still in the parking lot. The car was locked, and her personal belongings, including a cell phone, were found inside the vehicle.
"Her keys were found laying outside the vehicle," said Brown. "They appeared to have been intentionally placed in a certain spot on the vehicle."
Law enforcement contacted Stroik's family. It was determined she was missing and a report was filed.
Representatives from the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Missouri Department of Natural Resources, Missouri Department of Conservation, the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, Monroe City Fire Department, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the Monroe City Ambulance District conducted a ground search of the area Tuesday. A helicopter flew over the area, and crews searched the water as well.
The search was called off when it became too dark. They plan to begin searching again Wednesday around 9 a.m.
"The biggest challenge is going to be it is a very secluded area," said Brown. "Lots of timber, lots of wooded areas, mixed in with some grasslands as well. Not a lot of homes in the area to where we could have potential witnesses."
Stroik is 5'7″ tall, weighing 115 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. She lives in St. Louis but is originally from South Bend, Indiana.
Surveillance video in Town and Country showed Stroik was last seen wearing an olive-green jacket, long pink scarf, navy colored pants with white zippers on the sides, and white tennis shoes.
Stroik is a professional ballerina with the Saint Louis Ballet. A spokesperson with the ballet said they "are very worried about her."
Anyone with information on the location of Stroik should call 911 or the Missouri State Highway Patrol at 660-385-2132.

Dismissing an employee vs. leave of absence
If your benefits are managed by Gusto, dismissing an employee will also terminate the employee's health benefits. Make sure to keep the employee active if they are not truly dismissed.
Dismissed employees
Once the employee is dismissed, they will stay in your account under the list of dismissed employees but you will not be charged for them on your monthly Gusto invoice moving forward. A dismissed employee will also trigger our system to dismiss their benefits.
Terminations with insurance carriers may take several processing days. To avoid overpayment on your insurance invoice, make sure to dismiss the employee in your Gusto account as soon as possible.
Any premium overpayment will be processed by the insurance carrier and credited back to you on the following month, given that the carrier has processed the termination by the time the new invoice is generated.
Leave of absence
If your employee is taking a temporary leave of absence, you can skip the employee on payroll and the system will recognize each skipped payroll as a missed deduction. When the employee returns to work, we'll apply deduction corrections to capture the deductions that were lost during the employee's leave.
Keeping them active but skipping them on payroll will ensure that their benefits remain active while removing them from payroll.

PXE Boot Basics.
Booting from the network using the PXE protocol involves a simple series of DHCP packets. There are three parties involved: the DHCP server, the PXE server, and the client.
At this point, the basic PXE boot is done. There will be additional interaction between the client and the PXE server, but that is decided by the implementation of the NBP. In the case of the WDS NBP implementation, it will ask for the path of a custom boot file (pxeboot.com or bootmgfw.efi), it will download that and run it. That custom boot file will then download the boot WIM and other files needed by Windows PE.
The Problem and the Simple Solution.
Those eight steps mentioned above normally works as long as the broadcast from the client can get to the servers. That should not be a problem when the client and the servers are on the same network. But what if the client and servers are on different networks? How will the client get an IP address from the DHCP server?
The answer is in the configuration of the routers. They need to be able to route the client requests from the network of the client to the network of the DHCP server. One such simple router rule is the "ip helper." This simply tells the router to forward the DHCP requests to the known IP address of the DHP server.
But what about the PXE requests? Simple - configure the routers to forward the client request to the PXE server - just like you do with the DHCP server. There is no other skill to learn. It is the same thing that you already know how to do and that you have already done. This time, you just need to do it for another server, the PXE server.
Go to your router, find the DHCP IP helper entry, add another one that looks exactly like that but use the IP address of the PXE server.
The Hack. The Headache. DHCP Options.
Even though there is a very, very simple solution, you will see administrators using an alternative route. This involves configuring the DHCP server to respond to the PXE requests. The rational is that the client request will always get to the DHCP server (otherwise, clients will never get IP addresses), so, let the DHCP server masquerade as a PXE server. The DHCP server will respond to the client and tell it that it is a PXE server ('PXEClient' on Option 60). It will also respond to the client with path to the network boot program (Option 67).
Pants On Fire.
The DHCP server can fool most client firmware in this manner, but not all. Some firmware are too trusting. When it is time to download the boot files, it will try to download them from the DHCP server. After all, the DHCP server did say that IT IS the PXE server. This will of course fail - the DHCP server does not have any boot files.
You can't make your DHCP server lie and expect good things to come out of it.
Static. Static. Static.
The granddaddy of the problem - whatever you put in the DHCP option (especially option 67, the boot program path), that is it.
What if you have different types of machines that want to PXE boot? BIOS, UEFI, 32-bit, 64-bit, ARM.
You see, there are different network boot programs depending on the client architecture and firmware mode. Many admins find this out the hard way. BIOS clients work (because they specified wdsnbp.com), but UEFI clients fail (because wdsmgfw.efi is needed).
Not only are the file names different, the folders are also different depending on the PXE server. For example, in WDS, the folder is 'Boot.' In SCCM/WDS, the folder is 'SMSBoot.' In the WDS-less SCCM, the folder is 'SMSBoot\{package-ID}.' In Linux, it can be anything.
You could program your DHCP server. Add logic there to detect the client architecture and firmware. It is not trivial work, and it does not make sense. The PXE server type is also something that the DHCP will not be able to programmatically determine. There is very little that you can accomplish here.
Why go this route, considering that adding an IP helper is a one-line command on a router?
There Can Only Be One.
Oh be one.
What if you have multiple PXE servers? Using multiple PXE server is a common practice for load-balancing. In a diverse environment, it is also common to find Windows, Linux and Router PXE servers all co-existing.
How do you fake all of these with a single DHCP server response? Such a method completely breaks down here.
In the IP helper world, you simply add an IP helper entry for each PXE server. You can add as many as you need or as many as you want. Yes boss. For the load-balancing case, PXE servers can be up or down in a group, and you don't have to do any additional configuration. For the diverse environment case, the different PXE servers can selectively choose to respond to the clients that they recognize.
To Boot Or Not To Boot.
When you add PXE options to the DHCP replies, this results in the client 'always' booting. The client will always download the network boot file (specified in the DHCP reply) and run it.
This is problematic in some UEFI settings because the client may never attempt to boot from the hard drive once it has been instructed to start a network boot and the network boot fails (e.g., there is not task sequence deployment for the client). This is also problematic for mixed-OS environments. Your Linux machine would be instructed by the DHCP server to download and run the Windows network boot program.
In the IP helper world, the true PXE server decides whether or not it will respond and serve a network boot file. In the Configuration Manager case, it will only respond if there is a task sequence deployed to the client.
It's A Small World (After All).
Befriend your network administrators. Be nice to them, out of a genuine heart.
Your network administrator just needs to add that one single line of 'IP helper' router configuration that points to your PXE server. It is next to the configuration line that points to the DHCP server.
Do It Right, The First Time.
If something is anyway worth doing, one might as well do it right. Your loved ones will thank you for being home early on weekdays and for being home on weekends. The administrators who will take over the work after you will also thank you. Lastly, I will thank you - I don't have to keep seeing and answering the same PXE issue on Configuration Manager forums. So, thank you, in advance.
IP helpers work perfectly unless you have some cheap and/or old hardware router in place that cannot do IP helping. :)
In this case playing with DHCP policies and custom vendor classes might be the only option: at least for affected subnet.
Therefore I would add this link or similar to the post:
This seems to be extremely useful information. Why not include it in the official documentation??
I laughed. I cried. But tears of joy. We who are support engineers salute you!
I work in a Fortune 300 company where I had to explain a lot about IP helper address. It was 3 years back. Within my team, members were insisting DHCP scope options for PXE and I was trying to explain how beneficial is IP helper address. Who won the battle ? Me...
Thanks for reminding those who still wants to stick with DHCP scope options.:grinning_face::smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:
This makes so much sense, are you implying a single PXE server? In a multi national organisation across three regions we could consolidate down from 60 PXE servers to 3!
When you use ip helpers do you remove all three scopes or just 66 and 67?
Great write-up on this topic, thanks!
Is this also the case if the DHCP server at a site is also the WDS server? With both roles on the same machine we need to use the options in DHCP to get it to work. Is this expected or should it work without?
Wow thanks for that one!
I was tinkering around today with the pxe boot on different subnets. I've read it isn't recommended to use the DHCP scope options and so I didn't do...
I used the ip-helper address, but didn't know that I needed another one for the PXE-Server. ^^
If DHCP and WDS are on the same server (not the same subnet), then you need to leave DHCP Option 60 configured. Otherwise you should remove all three DHCP Options 60/66/67. See the following docs:
Thanks a lot Kerwin, you explained like if it was a proper windows Doc
I am the "Network Administrator" for our university. You know; the one to be nice to. :)
On our WIN 2016 DHCP servers we spun up policies to ID the Boot type: Legacy x86 and x64, UEFI x64, and UEFI x86 so that options 66 and 67 would change depending on how the host is equipped and configured. Our SCCM Admin is currently seeing those same issues that Mr. Medina stated: "always booting". With Legacy if there isn't job to process it move on and complete the boot process. However, he reports that the UEFI systems sit and wait for additional manual information which doesn't arrive as no one is driving the keyboard.
I appreciate this thread. We are going to make adjustments to our test network. If successful, I will add and update. Who knows, maybe even if we fail.
Take care.
I have a customer, which only specifies DHCP 066 option, and it Works. I have told them, that iphelper is supported solution, not AD DHCP, but there is money involved if iphelpers would be configured and they want cost savings. Nothing we can do right now.
Excellent article, that´s why Network Administrators are always my friends. Sometimes little solutions resolve big problems and are just in front of our nose. Great day.

Airlift Rescue
From the Database of Home of the Underdogs
GAME DESIGNER:David Fleming
GAME DEVELOPER:Freeware
GAME PUBLISHER:Freeware
Copyright 1995, David Fleming
Airlift Rescue is a fun variation of the classic Chopper game of yore in which, manning artillery, you must shoot all enemies that drop from parachutes before they get close enough to you. The game turns the concept upside down and have you fly a helicopter to rescue hostages while avoiding artillery fire. There are 64 hostages in four separate buildings, but the helicopter can only hold 16 hostages at a time. The first group of hostages will be outside waiting, but you must blast open the remaining buildings to free the rest of the hostages. The buildings must be opened in order, from right to left. When you land, the hostages will run and enter the helicopter, and you must fly them back to the American embassy. It takes skill to manage the chopper direction and shooting ranges, but this makes the game challenging on different levels. In short, this is mindless fun at its best! For a more faithful conversion of the classic, try Night Raid instead.

This is the devlog for the Dragonloft. Our current project is Hellenica, a tightly-paced JRPG that explores a steampunk take on ancient Greece.
Tuesday, August 16, 2016
A wild trailer appears!
Last week I decided it was finally time to make ourselves presentable. We're still technically pre-alpha (the to-do list is getting shorter!), but our game has been polished enough for general consumption for several months now. I was keen on submitting Hellenica for an upcoming game conference, so I took the opportunity to sit down and tackle some marketing assets.
As our worthy reader, you get to reap the rewards of my labor in the form of delicious URLs. Have at it:
First, check out our shiny new trailer, and please perform every conceivable social media interaction with it.
Then, hop over to our Hellenica site. I'm using a Made with Unity site as a temporary landing page for Hellenica until I'm able to get something running on our side.
Tell us what you think about the trailer and other info. We've still got some time to improve things before we launch.

This is looking fantastic Kurt. Can't wait to play it. Any ideas on where pre-orders will open up? Also, are you planning on adding in voice overs to the dialogue?ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks! We'll be digging into release plans once we're a little closer to release; I'll be sure to let you know.Delete
There aren't any plans for VO, unfortunately. We've got a TON of dialogue in the game, so it would just be a bit too much for our tiny studio to handle at this point.
Sounds good. Soon as it's playable I'm buying a copy. I started working on a tactical game as well, just more in the style of Disgaea. Free roaming in base, turn based on battles.Delete

Delhi girl shares horrible experience of what Uber cab driver did with her; Facebook post goes viral
New Delhi: There seems to be no end in sight to crimes against women in the national capital. A girl has shared details of her horrible experience with Uber cab driver. The girl – Probalika Boruah – has written a detailed Facebook post describing the shocking behaviour of Uber cab driver.
The post has gone massively viral on Facebook.
Here is what happened with the girl:-
The girl in her Facebook post wrote, "This is my last experience with Uber. Today morning I booked a cab for my residence at Mehrauli to my office at Gurgaon, Udyog Vihar phase I. Immediately after the driver picked me up he started giving undue attention and asked me if I am going to my office and where do I work. I got suspicious at the moment and in order to avoid his questions, I started talking over the phone. Once I started speaking on the phone, he increased the volume of the radio to the maximum, however I didn't confront him as I didn't want any arguments. Then, when I stopped talking over the phone he started to ask me creepy questions like; "Madam, where do you stay and where are you from? Do you stay alone? Aap Delhi se nhi lag rhe ho, itna bhi kya narazi hain, aap kuch bhi nhi bol rahe ho?"
"Then I asked him to be professional and do his own work. Suddenly he started driving very rash and was about to hit a car. When I asked him to drive properly, he told me "should I hit the other car (gadi thok du kya dusre gadi mein, tab aapko pata chalega"…I told him that I'll make a complaint against him. He then, asked me to get down from the car in the middle of the road and I had to literally get down from the car in the midst of the traffic. Once got down, he started following with the car. He kept on following me for 2-3 minutes and then something clicked in mind and I have pretended like reading the number plate of his car and complaining someone. He then drove away," the post added.
"I had to walk till the Sultanpur metro station and booked a different cab. The story doesn't end here. In the meantime, I wrote a feedback to Uber explaining about the incident and got a pop up that they will call me. I got a call within 2 minute, however couldn't pick up as I was about to give the OTP to my OLA driver. Once I reach office, I called in the same number as advised by my friends and resent a feedback to Uber in written. I asked the person if he is from Uber and he was first confused and then told me he was from head office. When I was about to complaint, he interrupted me and told me that the driver has made a complaint against me. I was really furious and narrate him the entire incident. However I didn't feel that I was talking to someone in customer service, it seems to me that I was talking to the same driver. At last when I told him that I am going to make a police complaint, he told me the same driver will not come to pick me up again. I tried to explain him that how it can be disastrous if the same person picks other girls and there can be an incident in the future. However, he didn't listen to me and told me he had spent enough time talking to me. I told this incident to one of my colleague and he also listen to my recorded conversation with the Uber person. My friend told me that it can't be any professional who has called me, but it has to be the driver himself or any of his friend. Then, my friend called in the same number and asked who it is; he replied that he is a Uber driver, " adds the post.
The girl says:-
"1. What happens to the safety of a female passenger? What if the driver comes to my place and disturbs me again as I am pretty sure he can do anything.
2. The driver's reply clearly states that he doesn't care whether you complain to Uber or not. Because he is pretty sure Uber is not going to take any action against him.
What happen if he will involve in something serious in the future. From the experience of my 20 minutes encounter with that shady person, I am very confident that he is capable of doing anything to a girl.
I have been a loyal customer of Uber from last one year as I don't use any other taxi services other than Uber and I am really anxious to know if Uber is cautious enough to be more vigilant and avoid any future risk by not roping in the same person.
Below are the details of the cab and the person.
Driver name – Sandeep (9015198372). Maruti Suzuki Ritz"

The preferred strap of Olympic archers...
and outdoorsmen everywhere!
Why use a plain old nylon strap when you can customize your strap and be original? Design a different sling for each item you need, like a camera, game call, range finder - anything you need to carry hands free.
You can choose from 40 different colors. Colors are shown. Most of the slings are reversible, so the colors reverse when you flip it over. Cobblestone, Corset, Zig Zag, Slashed are not reversible.
You also select the length that is most comfortable for you, from 34 to 64". You will get 10-20" of weave in the center of the sling, depending on the total length you select. Each tail end is a square braid and has a split ring and a metal swivel clasp attached. If you need a different setup than this, call for a price quote.
Here are the lengths of the center weaves for each length:
TOTAL Strap Length Center length
34" 10" center
36"-40" 12" center
42"-46" 14" center
48" 16" center
50" 18" center
52" and up 20" center
PLEASE NOTE: The finished strap length INCLUDES the swivel hooks.
The most flexible weaves are the TRILOBITE, CHECKER and the LIZARD. They are a bit wider, but lay flatter. The stiffest weaves are the DOUBLE COBRA and SAWTOOTH. The others are somewhere in between.

[2k blog in Computer Science] Biological human simulator
I am hugely interested in the very essence of life: us humans. What happens in our brains, when we live on, encounter things, make decisions? I was lucky to receive really interesting tutoring in neuroscience while studying cognitive science in Aalto University, Helsinki. Professors Vasily Klucharev and Risto Ilmoniemi kept both a course of their own, concentrating on both low-level structure and anatomy of the brain, as well as the things that grow out of and are seated in this biological framework of interconnected neurons.
As a computer scientist, my interests grew also towards the idea that perhaps a human mind could be simulated numerically?
This document is thus a memo conserning the building of human-like neural network simulator (called, simply: 'Human'), from a biological and neurological basis. The simulator consists of individuals who interact with each other and develop during life.
First of all, I'm not a neuroscience professional. I'm just a tech student whose interest happens to extend into neuroscience. My knowledge is one semester's worth of it, namely, one course of the brain anatomy and mechanisms. Second, in order to program a simulator in less than a millennia, you have to make simplifications. Third, what I do not know, I guess. For the program's sake.
I haven't read Marvin Minsky, though it would be probably worth every second spent doing that.
The model
[2k blog in Computer Science] VLAM authentication method
Human authentication to computer systems is problematic in many ways. There are aspects conserning the user's ability to memorize arbitrary character-number -combinations as well as extraneous equipment which should be added to the system if other than password-based authentication methods were to be used (biometrics).
The method proposed in this paper is based on the combination of two things: first, the ability of the mind to memorize almost limitless amount of visual objects (once seen), and second, the strengthening effect of associating a phrase (a familiar little story) with the password which is about to form.
Goals to seek in VLAM
- transferrability of password. You could make your way through the world with that what is inside you, what you really know. Thus the password itself should not be prone to change. Of course it must be given a thought whether it is possible for the attacker to gain knowledge of those precise aspects that you are presenting in authenticating yourself.
- avoiding the upcoming attack techniques against passwords: timing attacks. These measure the time between your keypresses and thus gain a bit / some bits of information about the password. In VLAM, analogous attack might be possible by deep knowledge of the brain and how much time it takes to scan a matrix and find the picture, depending probably partially on where in the matrix the correct picture is and what are the characteristics of the false pictures ('bright', gaining the user's attention, etc.)

Below you can find a brief description of some areas in Cusco and the hostel styles you could find in each of them.
- San Blas. It is considered by some visitors to be the best part of Cusco due to its artisan neighborhood, where you can find funky cafes, art galleries and also a good hostel offers in the City. In San Blas, the hostel styles are varied, and the architecture is really picturesque. With a high number of bohemian places, offering option for singles and doubles beds, with shared bathrooms and showers. Simple decorative style and really spacious rooms.
- The City Center. As popular as San Blas is the center of the city, where the buildings normally have a colonial style. The backpacker's hostels attract people who are looking to go trekking in the surrounding areas, including Machu Picchu. So, if you think of doing a trek to Machu Picchu, then here you will have the opportunity to meet others with the same objective. Again, you can choose from bedrooms with or without bathroom, shared dorms, plus singles, doubles and triples to choose from. There also Cusco hostel high cost located in the center. The prices are usually related to the fact that they are really close to the Plaza de Armas.
- Cusco hostel out of the way. If the noise of staying near the main plaza is not for you, out of the city, inclusive some blocks from the center you can find good options. The price range is in the average US$10 - US$30, with clean and comfortables rooms. Most of them own big gardens, and are a pleasure for those seeking to relax. Reasonable priced rooms make this area the ideal option for visitors on any budget. Within a short walking distance you can have access to ATM machines, shopping centers, pharmacies and all the amenities of a city, Hitchhikers Cusco hostel is a very good option.
Keep in mind that rates may increase slightly in the high season, from April to December. So, again, an early booking will save you many worries. If you choose a good hotel you could meet your expectations in relation to hospitality and money matters. Many cheap hostels are uncomfortable and unclean, so cheaper is not always better. Check if available services, such as Internet access during the whole day are included, a bar to socialize and also common areas that give you the opportunity to hang out. Finally, remember that hostelling is about the people you meet, more than just a physical place, and staying at an accommodation that knows visitor's needs is always better as it enhances your overall travel experience.

Thousands of years ago in Mesopotamia, there was a boy named Nic, who enjoyed eating outside. All the other kids picked on Nic for that, and that's how the word 'picnic' came about. Kids called him really bad names, such as "ostrich fart" and "aaaardvark whiskers" (originally, aardvark had four a's).
Nic took revenge on the kids, by training ants to steal the kids toys for him. He rewarded the ants with garlic bread crumbs and asparagus.
This is why to this day, ants invade picnics, and think that everybody's name is Nic.

The reaction to Ed Sheeran's appearance on Game Of Thrones has been mixed, to say the least. The online vitriol has been so severe that the English pop-warbler was forced to quit Twitter, possibly never to return.
This is unjust. There was absolutely nothing wrong with Sheeran's cameo. Here are all the reasons why.
For those who missed the controversy, Ed Sheeran - the singer-songwriter behind such chart-topping hits as Shape of You and Thinking Out Loud - popped up in this week's episode of Game Of Thrones. The showrunners elected to cast him as a Lannister soldier... who just happens to enjoy campfire sing-songs.
Here's the offending scene:
And here are some reactions from Twitter:
Ed Sheeran's appearance in Game of Thrones was absolutely terrible like there was no need for him to make a cameo

"oMFG IS THAT ED SHEERAN" pic.twitter.com/nQgFZG3Esh
— ً (@targrynz) July 17, 2017
We understand why people were pissed about this. On a surface level, it looks like a shameless cash grab on all sides, with the show's producers scoring free publicity and Sheeran getting to showcase his pipes to a new market.
It's almost as if Game Of Thrones' casting director saw Chris Martin in Extras and didn't realise it was a parody. (The fact Sheeran is a bit of a knob head in real life doesn't help either.)
However - and I realise this is going to take some convincing - the cameo fit perfectly into the world of Westeros and did not feel gratuitous in any way. Here are all the reasons you need to leave Ed Sheeran alone.
He looks like a Lannister!
With his fair complexion, lean stature and blue eyes, Sheeran looks every bit the likely Lannisport lad. He's also appropriately British and ordinary: we're not talking about some improbably cut pretty boy with an American accent here. This was not a case of woeful miscasting, at least as far as appearance is concerned.
He was singing a song from the books
In the now infamous scene, Arya approaches a Lannister camp just as one of the soldiers (Sheeran) finishes singing a song. "It's new," he tells her, which sounds like a gross wink to the audience. In reality, he's singing a song from the books about the ill-fated relationship between Shae and Tyrion Lannister. Here are the lyrics as they appear in A Clash Of Kings:
He rode through the streets of the city,
down from his hill on high,
O'er the wynds and the steps and the cobbles,
he rode to a woman's sigh.
For she was his secret treasure,
she was his shame and his bliss.
And a chain and a keep are nothing,
compared to a woman's kiss
For hands of gold are always cold, but a woman's hands are warm...
This is a nice little Easter egg for readers. The refrain is especially poignant when you consider Tyrion stangled Shae to death with a chain of golden hands.
The cameo was appropriately brief
If you had never heard of Ed Sheeran, you wouldn't have noticed anything weird about the scene he "starred" in. There were no extended singing scenes or lingering closeups to draw attention to the stunt casting. (In fact, one of the other Lannister soldiers received significantly more lines and screen time.) Apart from having a recognisable face, nothing about Sheeran's inclusion felt gratuitous.
Maisie digs Ed
Maisie Williams, who plays Arya on the show, is a confirmed mega-fan of Ed Sheeran. Apparently, this led directly to his casting so that the producers could surprise Williams on set. This doesn't excuse the decision, but at least there's a warm 'n' fuzzy reason behind it.
It's not the first time singers have starred in the show
Game Of Thrones has an established history of casting real-world musicians as inhabitants of Westeros. Other examples include Animal Circus's Joel Fry, Coldplay's Will Champion, Ian And The Blockheads' Wilko Johnson, Fontane's Michiel Huisman, Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody, Mastodon and Sigur Rós. Granted, none of these artists are as recognisable as Sheeran, but at this point it's become something of a tradition.
The scene was actually important
This is the key to my argument. One of the main gripes people have about Sheeran's scene is that it was pointless and could have easily been removed entirely. This simply isn't true. The scene was crucial to the larger plot for a couple of reasons.
First, it allowed Arya to experience kindness at the hands of normal, everyday Lannisters. This will surely play into her character's arc which has been treading down a very dark path lately. Second, it provided Arya with information about Cersei's ascension to the Iron Throne, prompting her to reverse course and travel south to assassinate her. While Sheeran himself might not have been necessary, the scene as a whole was essential.
Foxtel's Game Of Thrones Premiere Was A Bloody Mess
Game Of Thrones has proven too popular for its own good, with Foxtel Now going into meltdown under the weight of thousands of customers connecting at the same time. A similar phenomenon occurred in the US and Latin America. (Presumably, those evil pirates got to watch the show just fine. Tch.)

A trial date has been set for the woman charged in connection with the murder of 72-year-old Jerry Ridge, owner of Valley Pawn Brokers in Whitwell almost two years after the incident.
51-year-old Angela Denise Kilgore of Whitwell was charged in 2016 on grand jury indictments with first-degree murder, felony murder, especially aggravated robbery, employing a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony aggravated arson, theft and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon.
According to the District Attorney's office, Kilgore is now set to appear before a Marion County jury for trial on August 27, 2018.
Judges Thomas W. Graham, J. Curtis Smith, and Justin C. Angel have each recused themselves from the case citing conflicts. The Tennessee Supreme Court has appointed Rutherford County Circuit Court Judge Don Ash to preside over the case.
Kilgore is represented by Assistant Public Defender, Norm Lipton. Assistant District Attorney, Steve Strain, will lead the prosecution in the trial.
According to reports from the TBI, Kilgore allegedly killed Ridge during a robbery at the pawn shop he owned and operated in Whitwell. It's then alleged that she set fire to the business "in an effort to destroy potential evidence in the case."
Ridge's body was found on May 17, 2016, after firefighters extinguished the fire. An autopsy after the discovery showed Ridge had been shot and stabbed before the building was set ablaze.
Kilgore, who had been previously convicted of other federal charges including an attempted bank robbery, aggravated robbery, and gun charges and other various charges.
We'll continue to follow this story and bring you the latest on the trial in August.

With Braces, issues like crooked, crowded teeth, overbites, underbites, incorrect jaw position and other s are corrected. If left untreated, these tooth and jaw problems can lead to gum disease, headaches, earaches, speaking problems, biting and chewing disorders.
Orthodontics can benefit patients at almost any age. From the very young to the very old, a person can improve their quality of life through braces.
Remember braces are not just for adolescents. The young can be helped and people in their 30s 40s, 50s, 60s and even 70s can be helped.

Fifa 17 Premier League ratings: Sergio Aguero rated third best Fifa 17 player with David de Gea second – but who is best Premier League star?
David de Gea came second and Sergio Aguero third out of total of 13 Premier League players in the top 50
ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC has been named the best rated Premier League star on Fifa 17 - but no Englishman features anywhere in the top 50.
The Manchester United striker, who has had a stunning start to life in English football this season is rated a total of 90, with 90 shooting and 86 physicality - but is only seventh in the total list.
United teammate David ge Gea is the second best top flight player with Sergio Aguero third - but both are outside the top 10 in which Wales and Real Madrid star Gareth Bale is sixth.
Perhaps surprisingly for the world's most expensive footballer, Paul Pogba is only 18th in the list and the sixth best Premier League player.
A total of 13 footballers from the nation's top league feature in the game's official top 50, with Alexis Sanchez, David Silva and Dimitri Payet all featuring but not in the Premier League top ten.

7. Kevin de Bruyne (21st, overall rating 88)
Manchester City's playmaker is one of the best for a through ball on the game, rated 86 Passing. Chelsea probably regret letting him leave in 2014 as he is now one of the world's finest attacking midfielders.

Perhaps surprisingly for the world's most expensive footballer, Pogba is only 18th overall and 6th in Premier League - but the central midfielder is only young and boasts 87 Dribbling and 87 Physicality.

Apart from the "big three", prolific Manchester City striker Aguero probably has some of the best all-round stats on the game. He has 89 Pace, 88 Shooting, and 89 Dribbling. Pretty decent...
2. David de Gea (10th, overall rating 90)
Only Manuel Neuer is rated higher as a goalkeeper on the game, and with the Manchester United star's his 90 rated Reflexes and excellent 87 Kicking stats making him a sure-fire pick for many players.

Custom server sales driven by IT virtualization boom
System builders make hay building specialized servers for education, government and oil/gas verticals.
System builders that specialize in custom server configurations report year-over-year growth for their wares, citing demand related to virtualization and high-performance computing (HPC).
That growth mirrors that of the overall server hardware market. Research firm Gartner Inc. recently reported that worldwide server shipments grew 27.1% in the second quarter of 2010, while revenue increased 14.3%. The main engine of that growth was x86-based server shipments, which expanded 28.9% for the quarter in units sold and 37% in revenue.
Todd Garrigues, the North America channel marketing manager for Intel, said the server segment continues to be a strong piece of the overall system builder market. For the first half of 2010, the channel's contribution grew by 20% year-over-year in terms of unit sales.
"Looking at the mix of product that the channel is selling through, the [average selling prices] are up significantly, indicating that the channel is having success selling the latest technologies and feature-rich products to their customers," Garrigues said.
Custom server sales a bright spot for system builders
Chuck Orcutt, product line manager for the Nexlink custom-built system line from Seneca Data Inc., an Intel premier system builder partner in Syracuse, N.Y., said unit sales and average selling prices (ASPs) for the server portion of Seneca's business have been driven higher by activity in virtualization.
One of Seneca's most popular current server models is based on the Intel modular server design. Capable of supporting up to six server compute modules, the design includes a built-in SAN, which Orcutt said makes it an ideal platform for virtualization.
"Infrastructure optimization is the first thing [users] are attracted to," Orcutt said.
Virtualization has leveled the playing field for custom system designs from system builders (also known as white box builders) because they offer more flexible configurations than some of the top-tier brand vendors, he added.
"Customers are more willing to consider a custom server solution because of the consultative selling process involved with virtualization," Orcutt said. Among the verticals that Seneca VARs champion more often are healthcare, retail and point of sales, he added.
Todd Swank, vice president of system builder Nor-Tech in Burnsville, Minn., said HPC solutions helped make 2010 a growth year for his company's server line despite an overall flattening of the white-box business over the past few years. Key verticals for custom-built servers include higher education, government agencies, and oil and gas exploration companies, he said.
When it comes to HPC solutions, Swank said energy conservation is "very big," a factor that Nor-Tech has accommodated by sticking closely to the requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star program.
"Power conservation needs to be on the checklist for anyone selling custom servers," he said.
A key selling point for Nor-Tech's hardware has been the flexibility that customers can get when it comes to configurations. "People still get frustrated dealing with the big guys," Swank said.
Jean Shih, president of Amax Information Technologies in Fremont, Calif., attributes her company's server-related growth this year to two primary form factors: server appliances that Amax configures on behalf of major ISVs, notably security software developers and cluster platforms for supporting virtualization solutions.
An example of the latter is the new ClusterMax HPC series, a supercomputer configuration that is VMware-certified and comes with the company's ClusterMax Eco power supplies, which Amax said offer higher performance-per-watt, per-dollar and per-square-foot than competitive products. "You really reduce the cost of a running a data center when you look at platforms like this," Shih said.
The chief differentiators that help Amax win deals are flexibility and its more than three decades of experience in PC and technology infrastructure design, she said. "That's where our value exceeds that of the brand names."

With Halloweekend right around the corner, we've been blessed with a Friday holiday, meaning the parties start Thursday and Halloween ends around Monday/whenever the candy or alcohol runs out (whichever comes first, to be honest). If you want to put the "hip hop" in "hip hop..loween," here are a few costume ideas that I've seen around the internet, and some I've made up that are equally as cool. At least that's what my mom said.
1. Your Anaconda Might.
Nicki, Nicki, Nicki, can't you see? Sometimes your ass can hypnotize me.
Pros: Recognizable, cheap (you only need a thong and a top), open to all sexes.
Cons: You'll have to hit that pose every time (though is that really a con?)
2. Riff Raff / Katy Perry.
Yes, I put a slash there because I have realized that they are basically the same people. To be honest, if you want to draw inspiration in dressing like Riff Raff, you can take a look at James Franco in Spring Breakers, and then multiply the intensity by 18.
Pros: All you need are braids, clothes leftover from the late 80s/early 90s, and a sharpie to make this look happen. Also, if you're a girl and get tired of explaining to people that you're Riff Raff by the middle of the night, you can switch your identity to Katy Perry because it's basically the same thing.
Cons: If you're dedicated to those braids, you'll have them for a few days – if not weeks – later; they're a bitch to put in, there's no way you're just going to let all that pain go to waste after one night.
3. PharRUN DMC.
Pharrell's Arby's hat made a lasting impression this year, so just throw on a track suit and a buffalo hat and you, too, can be The Voice's newest coach. However, with a drop of a hat (literally), you can become Rev. Run. Guys, I'm not just funny okay? I'm also very versatile.
Pros: Talk about ultimate comfort in an ADIDAS tracksuit, ok? You can also make people serenade you as Pharrell, and turn your chair around for him/her. I'm setting you up for success.
Cons: What will you do with that brown hat for the rest of the year? Let me tell you, there are some things that you can wear throughout the year as a stretch in fashion, but it somehow works. You get excited that it works because you spent money on it and don't want it to go to waste. Well let me tell you something. The hat. Does not. Don't do it.
4. The Ivy is So Poisonous… It's Blue.
If you don't want to dress up as a baby (though I don't know why you wouldn't want to be Blue Ivy, she has a great wardrobe), I suggest going the punny route and perhaps wrapping yourself in some leaves that you painted blue. Instant DIY outfit. I should be on Pinterest for sure.
Pros: Every time someone figures out who you are, you have that rewarding feeling that teachers probably feel when their students get a math problem right. It'll be great.
Cons: The blue paint might get messy. But then you can be a Smurf so I guess it's ok. Always turn a con into a pro!
5. Ariana Lopez / Jennifer Grande
We all thought Ariana aspired to be Mariah, but little Miss Lopez has been flying under the radar, until her similarities in style and outfits have become semi-uncanny to Ariana Grande's. But it's cool, because she looks hotter at 45 than I have ever looked in my 22 years of living. Let's tie our hair up, contour all those angles on our faces, and wear cute little matching sets of cropped tanks and skirts to complete the look. Ariana's been sporting around the cat ears as well, so if you're not getting the responses you are looking for, you can become a kitty by the end of the night.
Pros: The costume in itself is pretty cheap, just get a flashy/cute/tight dress or crop top and skirt and throw on that high ponytail. Your costume. Won't. Cost. A. Thang.
Cons: If you don't pull it off just right, you're just going to look like an ambiguous dancer in the 70s. If people ask you what you are, don't be afraid to belt out a complicated run or sing a verse in a song that you can't understand. Yes, I said it, I can't understand Ariana Grande half of the time and I'm sorry girl but enunciate.
6. "Are You That… Somebody?"
A few brands such as UNIF and Calvin Klein have been (re)implementing the boxer brief/cropped sports bra types, and we all know that fashion repeats itself. With these lady briefs out, copping Aaliyah's signature look has never been so easy. And if you want to be authentic, I think you can find Tommy Hilfiger anything…somewhere.
Pros: When someone compliments your Aaliyah outfit, you can assume that he/she knows what's up. Also, you can probably wear most of these items this season.
Cons: There's no con in being Aaliyah. If anything, you may rock people's boats, and if they say you need to dust yourself off and try again, say, "I Don't Wanna."
7. My Body Could Perhaps be Your Party, If You RSVP.
How can you be Ciara? Well you won't have to be. All you'll need are a few red cups, ping pong balls, bags of chips, beer cans, a lost and found sign with "dignity" written on it, a hot glue gun and your fabulous self. It's all the perks of a party…all up on your body. Again, I'm pretty sure I need to be on Pinterest.
Pros: This could cost like nothing. You could actually make this costume WHILE at a party.
Cons: This might take a little explaining, but if they understand the "party" part, all you need to do is work on a sexy body roll while you say "Mah BodY, iS Yo PahTy" and I'm pretty sure you won't be going home alone. You're welcome.
8. ScHoolBoy Who?
So ScHoolBoy Q is apparently a costume trend this year. When I looked it up, the explanation was:
Bucket hat, cool sunglasses, and a tie-dye t-shirt.
Ok like seriously that could be anyone like what I'm so confused. You might as well just say you're a hypebeast, or a model on KarmaLoop. So instead, my DIY version of ScHoolBoy Q might be more of a crowd pleaser. Go and steal your little brother or sister's private school uniform, or your own from back in the day, or just wear a school kid outfit. And then slap on a Q wherever you'd like. Boom. Brb, signing up for a Pinterest account.
Pros: You can throw in a little 'sexy school (insert gender here) into your outfit, and if someone says you're slutty, you just tell them that you're creative AND know what's up in music. Take that you uncultured swine!
Cons: If done incorrectly, you may look like Quailman. Although I don't know how you would accidentally wear a cape, underwear outside your shorts, and a belt on your head, but to each his own. And even still, is being Quailman a con? Doubtful.
9. You Are Just So Fancy.
Bringing back the 90s, we can dress up in plaid monochrome and be Iggy in her "Fancy" video. Although really, she's being Cher from Clueless. Make sure you know the difference, and know which one you're playing. Iggy would most likely not be walking around all night saying, "As if!"
Pros: Monochrome is in, so you can actually wear the outfit together or in separate pieces. You'll look very vintage chic.
Cons: If you're trying to be Iggy, you'll be called Cher. If you're trying to be Cher, you'll be called Iggy. You'll need to mentally prepare yourself for that. I know it'll be hard but I have faith in you.
10. When in Doubt, Be Yonce.
Like Britney Spears, Yonce has so many memorable looks that you can copy. You can be in a group of three and be Destiny's Child. You can roll with your boyfriend and be Bey and Jay. You can find a girl friend and be Gaga and Yonce. You can go solo and be a single lady. Like there's no end to this. And 112% of the time, these looks are fierce.
LOL, here's a picture of her in a bee outfit. Bey. Bee. See she gets the punny thing.
Pros: You are Beyonce.
Cons: ….You are Beyonce.
To me, Halloween is like Valentine's Day. Skeptics are always calling Valentine's Day the holiday made by businesses to sell candy and chocolates, and Halloween is the same except take out the candy and chocolates and put in alcohol and more alcohol. I don't know why Halloween is an excuse to dress scantily and drink excessively, but I am not complaining one bit. Also, please remember that BLACK FACE IS NOT A GOOD IDEA EVER. Have fun, be safe, and follow me on Pinterest!
Just kidding, I don't know how to use that shit.

By Rick Perlstein
Informed with urgency and sharp political perception, Nixonland recaptures America's turbulent Sixties and early Seventies and divulges how Richard Nixon rose from the political grave to grab and carry the presidency.
Perlstein's epic account starts within the blood and hearth of the 1965 Watts riots, 9 months after Lyndon
Johnson's historical landslide victory over Barry Goldwater seemed to usher in an enduring liberal consensus
in the U.S.. but the subsequent 12 months, ratings of liberals have been tossed out of Congress, the USA used to be extra divided than ever, and a disgraced flesh presser used to be on his approach to a surprising comeback: Richard Nixon.
Between 1965 and 1972, the USA skilled at the least a moment civil conflict. Out of its ashes, the political international we all know now used to be born. It used to be the period not just of Nixon, Johnson, Spiro Agnew, Hubert H. Humphrey, George McGovern, Richard J. Daley, and George Wallace yet Abbie Hoffman, Ronald Reagan, Angela Davis, Ted Kennedy, Charles Manson, John Lindsay, and Jane Fonda. There are tantalizing glimpses of Jimmy Carter, George H. W. Bush, Jesse Jackson, John Kerry, or even of 2 formidable younger males named Karl Rove and William Clinton -- and a now not so formidable younger guy named George W. Bush.
Cataclysms inform the tale of Nixonland:
- indignant blacks burning down their neighborhoods in towns around the land as white suburbanites shield domestic and fireplace with shotguns
- the scholar insurgency over the Vietnam warfare, the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, and the riots on the 1968 Democratic nationwide conference
- The fissuring of the Democratic social gathering into warring factions manipulated through the "dirty tricks" of Nixon and his Committee to Re-Elect the President
- Richard Nixon pledging a brand new sunrise of nationwide team spirit, governing extra divisively than any president ahead of him, then directing a felony conspiracy, the Watergate cover-up, from the Oval place of work
Then, in November 1972, Nixon, harvesting the bitterness and resentment born of America's turmoil, was once reelected in a landslide even larger than Johnson's 1964 victory, not just atmosphere the degree for his dramatic 1974 resignation yet defining the phrases of the ideological divide that characterizes the United States this day.
Filled with prodigious study and pushed by means of a strong narrative, Rick Perlstein's magisterial account of ways the USA divided confirms his position as one in all our country's such a lot celebrated historians.

If this is the case, he promised to learn and examine it. a bunch of journalists amassed within the Nixon, Mudge antechamber looking forward to the promised rfile. inside spread out a scene out of screwball comedy. 3 secretaries typed up separate pages. Safire hurtled from station to station making corrections. Messenger boys hovered, anticipating directions. Buchanan calmed the assembled scribes, promising them they'd get their replica in time for cut-off date. Safire snatched pages out of the secretaries' typewriters as they complete each. Pages flew. Staplers clomped. Buchanan dealt forth comprehensive pages, saying that the appraisal had 8 issues. there have been in basic terms seven at the pages. Safire later questioned whether or not they had numbered it incorrect or forgot to install one of many paragraphs. The lead article within the November four big apple instances started, "Richard Nixon stated the day gone by that the hot Manila convention completed not anything towards attaining peace in Vietnam. " It seemed correct subsequent to "President Faces Minor surgical procedure; Calls Off journey. " The bounce on bankruptcy One resulted in Nixon's whole twenty-five-hundred-word assertion. "The impression of this mutual withdrawal will be to depart the destiny of South Vietnam to the Viet Cong and the South Vietnamese Army…. Communist victory may almost definitely be the results of 'mutual withdrawal. '" Nixon used to be now, for the realm to work out, Lyndon Johnson's equivalent: the shadow president of the USA, accusing the president of marketing out his personal regulations in Vietnam. It was once a lie: the phrases in citation marks in Nixon's evaluation, mutual withdrawal, didn't look within the communiqué. It wasn't a decision for mutual withdrawal. The language negotiated in Manila in truth distinctive that the United States may well preserve its troops in South Vietnam six months after the final enemy troops withdrew. either Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon saved a cautious eye at the polls, and so they either knew that even the place the battle used to be so much unpopular, withdrawal was once the main toxic choice you may point out. It made the United States glance cowardly. the days had sacralized a Nixon con task. The fuse were lit. And now, the fireworks begun. Johnson yowled whilst he observed the morning's instances: "Don't they comprehend it's all loads of politics!? " He used to be able to hit again. His Nixon was once nonetheless the Nixon of the final Press convention: the main susceptible guy in American politics. He desired to run opposed to Nixon—not Romney, no longer Rockefeller, no longer Percy. He couldn't lose. not anything united Democrats like bashing Richard Nixon. So he might construct Nixon up. The president, supposedly too sickly to shuttle, was once it sounds as if fit adequate to stride right into a 10 a. m. press convention within the East Room to take questions. somebody requested even if the strenuous journey to Asia had contributed to his in poor health well-being. The president fidgeted out a lie: "I didn't get weary. " Then, the query that gave him the chance he was once searching for: "Mr. President, on your estimation, will the result of the elections have any impact at the Communist willingness, or angle, towards carrying on with the warfare in Vietnam?
