This is where the magic is happening; the Los Angeles River just north of Willow Street in Long Beach, CA.
After dropping off Booby Brittany at LAX Tuesday morning, I was driving back to Ventura when Dipper Dan alerted me to the presence of a Red-necked Stint on the LA River. He implored me to turn around and get the bird, although I had no optics of any sort. Alas, I chose not to, as it was not a life bird and I was loathe to brave the snarled LA traffic without any sort of birding weaponry to deploy once I got there.
But by late that afternoon I found myself again in LA gridlock with Officer Searcy, a belligerent and oft-maligned member of the State Bird Police. The traffic was so bad we were beginning to worry the sun would set before we would even get there, but the congestion finally loosened and Officer Searcy's filthy patrol car was coughed up from the 710 onto Willow Street, where the bird was located.
Finding the bird took a mere 60 seconds of scanning. The peep that was colored more like a Red Knot than a Western Sandpiper stood out like a sore thumb, in the very patch of mud that it had been frequenting all day. Aside from this being only my second Red-necked Stint, it was a life plumage...and my 500th California bird.
500 has been a long-time coming...over 18 years, in fact. My ability to add to this precious list has been at times very limited over the years for various reasons...being too young to drive, too busy with college life, living out of state, bourbon and bastards, etc. But none of that matters now...the blood, sweat, tears and other substances wrenched from my body over these 18 years by 500 species of birds has all led up to this moment, this bird.
The stint was extremely cooperative, always out in the open, never flying, and usually just a few yards from Western and Least Sandpipers for comparison. Although the bird wasn't very close, it might as well have been staked to the same patch of mud, as it was very territorial, terrorizing any unsuspecting Least Sandpipers that tried to encroach.
After soaking the bird in, we walked back across the river to Officer Searcy's patrol car. With the colorful stint seared into my brain and the exalted figure of 500 achieved, it was not the Los Angeles River below me...I was crossing the Rubicon.
Things will never be the same.
A Least Sandpiper yearns for quality mud as the Red-necked Stint glows behind it. Bad photo, exceptional bird.

ROCK SICK LIST: Hall laid low by a deer
Daryl Hall and his partner-in-my-pocket John Oates have put their touring schedule on hold after Hall falling ill with Lyme Disease. Apparently, at least according to Yahoo News, this is a disease spread by the bite of infected deer ticks. We can only speculate on how this happened.
July dates are axed, but they're hoping they'll be able to pick up their dates in August.

From Wednesday 1 February to Friday 3 February Our Lady's is staging a spectacular performance of Les Miserables. In preparation for their parts in the world's longest-running musical some of our students had the opportunity to visit the Queen's Theatre in London over the Christmas break to watch the social and political struggles of nineteenth century France unfold in Cameron Macintosh's legendary production based on the 1862 novel of the same name. The show certainly left a lasting impression…
Review written by Sean Baker: "Les Misersables is a gripping, captivating tale that has spanned over 30 years, touching the hearts and minds of the public. The story starts in 1832 with convict Valjean, having served 19 years as a slave being given parole by Inspector Javert, a long enemy, who tries to hunt Valjean down through the years, to keep his oath to God. Although he wants to return to prison and keep his work, he has promised to take on the child of his former employee.
From the moment the orchestra began to play, the room instantly fell silent and was drawn in by the breath-taking voices of the cast, music that was played beautifully by the orchestra, costumes and the stunning set. At the end of the show the cast received a rapturous applause and deservingly so for the sheer hard work. It's no wonder the show has lasted this long. I can't wait for my next visit to the Queens Theatre."
Review written by Leighton Currie-Clarke: "Les Miserables is a gripping tale of the French revolution and one man's struggle for freedom. Jean Val Jean a slave of the law has a chance of redemption and solitude but will Inspector Javert hinder this? 19 years a slave is just the start of an emotional rollercoaster which will be bound to leave the audience in showers of tears. A five star performance from Paul Wilkins as Marius set the tone for an extraordinary show which demanded attention and sparked brilliance. For a newcomer experiencing theatre for the first time it was an amazing experience which I will relive in my head, constantly hoping to match the brilliance of Mr Wilkins. The musical number Lovely Ladies had people dying of laughter and as a young adult the humour in the show was of an extended level where even though tragic events happen in the play the light-hearted moments which remain are ones to cherish. If I had the opportunity to watch it again it's a yeah from me. It is a memory that doesn't die when you leave the theatre but lives on in your wildest dreams."
Review written by Maria Collins: "A show that is 30 years young shows no sign of slowing down. Set in 1832 a gripping, heart wrenching story of a convict, Jean Valjean, escaping slavery after 19 years, he is granted parole, and finds retribution through the church, and improves his life by becoming Mayor in his town. Even on a Wednesday matinee, the show received unadulterated concentration from a full house, a theatre full of tears, sobs and adoration for the tragic proceedings happening before our very eyes. I can truly say it was an honour being a part of that audience, experiencing the tragedy in my own little world; each scene birthed a new emotion, fashioning the love for the show I never knew I had."
Tickets for Our Lady's production of Les Miserables are now on sale.

From April 21-23, AALNC had one of the most successful pre-Forum and Annual Forum events ever! I am pleased to report that attendance was at its highest level in 3 years with 225 amazing attendees.
The AALNC pre-Forum featured a very successful and well attended all-day session on How to Excel at Being a Testifying Expert. We also had a first time off-site networking event at Strike City Bowling, an opening welcome reception and partner reception for a total of 3 networking events! These events allowed our attendees, both new and longtime LNCs, to meet our vendors and fellow LNCs.
Many of the attendees were recipients of the ROCKS program (Random Acts of Conference Kindness) giveaways which included AALNC flash drives, drink coupons, Starbucks gift cards, AALNC coffee mugs and more! Our educational sessions highlighted: Misadventures in Cardiac Procedures, Standards of Care in Radiology Nursing, Patient Safety, Sepsis, Writing Skills for LNCs, Developing Your CV and many more quality education topics.
I want to thank the AALNC Board of Directors, AALNC Headquarters Staff, Annual Forum Committee and Director of Education for putting together a successful and well-received 2016 event. A special thanks to our attendees who took the time and commitment to attending and supporting AALNC and the continued mission of our organization to support LNCs.
I look forward to seeing many of you next year at the 2017 AALNC Forum, Portland, Oregon April 6-7, 2017.

text: Ok, looking for some reassurance I am not crazy here. Out doing some errands, everything seems fine... get on the highway to come home, decide I need to be in the right lane, so look to see if the lane is clear, and... my passenger outside mirror is hanging from its perch. No earthly idea how, I'm positive I didn't hit anything. When I stopped I looked at it very carefully... it intricately locks into the base, and oddly enough I was able to re-insert it by turning it all the way towards the car (as if they auto-folded), and carefully rotating it back. It now works fine- fold in and out, and adjusts in all four directions. The really strange part is that the car has a good deal of road salt dust on it (thanks, Chicago winters) and there were NO indications anything touched it, and positively nothing that would hit it with enough force to knock it out of its perch (that would have left a mark!). My finger prints from re-inserting it were the only thing on it. Has anyone else ever had their mirror just... fall out ?

Lindsay Lohan Laughs Off Reality Show Claims
Lindsay Lohan has laughed off rumors she will appear on Celebrity Big Brother.
The 26-year-old actress has been the subject of speculation recently, with many claiming she would appear on the British reality show. The Liz & Dick star has dismissed the idea, claiming she wants to focus on breaking into musical theater.
"I'm busy acting... I'm a singer. I'd love to do a musical. Something like Mamma Mia!" she told Heat magazine.
Lindsay was tied to Celebrity Big Brother after she arrived in London - where the reality show is filmed - over New Year, but an appearance hasn't materialized since the new series was launched two weeks ago. It has since emerged that she was in the UK because she was invited to attend a Southeast Asian prince's New Year's Eve party - and she was reportedly paid $100,000.
The New York Daily News newspaper claimed, "Prince Azim not only flew her out; he put her up in a beautiful suite in the Dorchester for the weekend and following the party. Her mom, Dina, is also in London with her at the hotel and attended the party."

I LOVE the midevil party! The free item, decorations, EVERTHING was amazing! I loved loved loved loved it!
The free item is at the dock:
I like it because it seems like it could be a member item, not like the not-so-great hats they sometimes give out at parties.
ALSO! A new room! At the forest you can see two trees with ropes and planks on them. It kinda hard but click around and you'll be there!
(click 2 enlarge)
Its a tree house! I think its going away when the party is over, but just incase im going to email Cp and ask. Ill update with thier reply!
Chicken go Moo!
u no i ♥ pie
The new room in the Forest is sure a lot of fun! I don't know if it will stay
after the party, so we'll have to wait and find out. I hope you're having fun
at the party. If you have any other questions about it or if you'd like to
share an interesting experience you had during the party, we'd love to hear
from you again!
Have a fantastic day,
Club Penguin Support
Ug, NO answers
Yawn, the book contest stuff was published. I thought the "The Day My Puffle Went on an Adventure" was the best. Also, it said the igloo decorating contest winners. I liked some a lot and I hated some a lot.
That's just tiny stuff. What's going on with CP? At least the June catalog is next Friday! YAY, AWESOME SUMMER CLOTHES!(i hope) I wonder what the June party will be. I think just a plain old summer party will happen in July, and some weird themed thing for June.

2019 BMW Z4 Roadster
Rabu, 26 September 2018 Tambah Komentar Edit
BMW's rich history of roadsters is about continue with the new BMW Z4. The two-seater has been systematically designed for maximum agility, thrilling dynamism, plus supremely precise steering characteristics with instantaneous response.
Compared to its predecessor, the new BMW Z4 has grown in length by 85 millimetres to 4,324 millimetres, is 74 millimetres wider (now 1,864 millimetres) and 13 millimetres taller (1,304 millimetres). The shortening of the wheelbase by 26 millimetres to 2,470 millimetres serves to sharpen agility, as do the notably wider tracks – 1,609 millimetres at the front (+ 98 mm) and 1,616 millimetres at the rear (+ 57 mm).
The body structure and chassis mountings both have remarkably high rigidity, while the new design of the front and rear axles gives the car a far sportier edge at the same time as guaranteeing high levels of comfort. The central seating position, low centre of gravity, minimised weight and ideal
50 : 50 weight distribution are further contributory factors in the intoxicating dynamism of the new BMW Z4.
BMW Z4 will be launched in March 2019 with a choice of three model variants, including a BMW M Performance option. The new BMW Z4 M40i is powered by a six-cylinder in-line engine delivering 250 kW/340 hp. The BMW Z4 sDrive30i and BMW Z4 sDrive20i take to the stage with four-cylinder units producing outputs of 190 kW/258 hp and 145 kW/197 hp respectively.

The concept includes hotels and park-side condos for Chinese visitors and Sino-curious tourists too far from Beijing. All of our condo rentals are either on the beach or within walking distance, making it easy to go for a morning jog in the sand, take in stunning views of the Gulf from your balcony, or indulge in an impromptu game of sand volley ball. Membership of a condo is obtained by buying the shares on the open market, most often through a real estate agent.
Singapore Housing > Post your Property – Post and list your apartment, condo, house for Rental or Sale in our online property classifieds. Search and compare a variety of Emerald Isle Realty condo rentals in locations such as Emerald Isle, Indian Beach and Atlantic Beach. Our condos have full kitchens, but for just $5 per adult ($4 per child) you are welcome to join us for our daily continental breakfast, including a selection of juices, fresh fruit, yogurt, made to order waffles and a selection of pastries and bagels made in house. Developers often put new condominiums up for sale before their construction has been completed or even begun.
However, condos can resemble apartments, lofts, townhomes, or single-family homes California has a lot of gated single-family detached homes that are marketed as condos because landscaping, common areas, the community pool and spa, and tennis courts are taken care of as part of an astronomically high association fee. The condos are spreading from Williamsburg into Bushwick Next they'll be popping up in the Evergreens cemetery. Eventually this building will stand 18-stories tall and bring 31 condos to the neighborhood. There are special considerations when insuring a condo as opposed to other forms of housing tenure.
There are currently 1.6 million people living in condos in Ontario and more than 50 per cent of new homes being built in the province are condominiums. Protecting condo residents in Ontario is part of our plan to create jobs, grow our economy and help people in their everyday lives.

Singapore Condo > Singapore Condo Directory – Condo Directory for Singapore Condominium, Apartment, Cluster Housing. When you rent a place to live, the property tax is usually a part of your rent.
If you're more of a do-it-yourself person, you can search real estate websites and listings for condos in the area you are interested in. If you have a specific building or complex in mind, many offer on-site sales offices where you can learn more about the condominium and perhaps even view a show suite. You can see why condos would be ideal for people who want to own a piece of real estate but don't want to worry about yardwork and maintenance.

Wingate, N.C.—The North Greenville men's and women's cross country teams finished their final regular season races of the season on Saturday, both finishing in third place at the Bulldog Stampeded, hosted by Wingate University.
NGU's top two finishers for the day were Zoe Engwall for the women and Ahmad Nesbitt for the men. Engwall turned in the only top 10 finish for the women on Saturday, running a 19:42, which was good enough for ninth place. Engwall's time was also a new personal record. Ahmad Nesbitt also turned in a solid finish for the Crusaders, finishing in first place, a very familiar spot for him. Nesbitt finished with a time of 26:10, 45 seconds better than the next closest finisher. Saturday was the third first place finish of the season for Nesbitt.
Amanda Ward also turned in a new personal record on Saturday, crossing the finish line in 20:07 which finished her in 14th. Kelly Knutson also earned a top 20 finish with a 16th place finish after clocking in at 20:48. Ellen Cunniff rounded out North Greenville's top four finishers stopping the clock at 22:05, finishing her in 24th place.
Ravon Wamer was the next best finisher for the men with his 21st place, 29:06 finish. The Crusader men had two runners finish back to back, in 26th and 27th place as Jacob Grigg ran a 30:01 and Josh Wilkinson ran a 30:05. The Crusaders are now gearing up for the post season, as both teams prepare for the Conference Carolinas Championship scheduled for November 7th in Concord, North Carolina.

In presenting these lessons on Mental Science, I do not claim to have discovered any new Truth. The Truth has been known in every age by a few; but the great mass of people has never even dreamed that we live in a mental and spiritual world. Today, however, there is a great inquiry into the deeper meaning of life because the race has reached a state of unfoldment where a broader scope is possible.
These lessons are an attempt to put into the spoken word and into print some of those great truths known to the enlightened of all ages.
To suppose that the Creative Intelligence of the world would create man in bondage and leave him bound would be to dishonor that Creative Power which we call God. On the other hand, to suppose that God could make man as an individual, without leaving him to discover himself, would be to suppose an impossibility. Individuality must be spontaneous and can never be automatic. The seed of freedom must be hid within the shell of the human. But, like the Prodigal of old, man must make the great discovery for himself. Although the journey may at times seem hard and the burden too great to bear, man still feels within a subtle sense, a mystical presence, a divine Reality. Thus, the inherent nature of himself is forever seeking to express itself in tenns of freedom. We will do well to listen to this inner voice, for it tells us of a life wonderful in its scope, of a love beyond our fondest dreams, of a freedom which the soul craves.
But the great love of the Universe must be one with the great law of Its own Being, and we must approach love through the law.
This, then, is the teaching,—Love and Law. As the love of God is perfect, so the law of God is also perfect. We must

I remember that not so long ago everyone was saying that a line of code should not be longer then 80 characters. The problem with this approach is that it leads you to cryptic method/class/variable names because of the 80 characters hard limit. I could justify that rule back in the epoch of 15 inch CRT monitors because there are not too many things more annoying then constant scrolling from right to left and left to right to be able to read a piece of code. But even nowadays there are people who would stick with that rule which doesn't make sense for me because it's just a waste of space of your 17/19/20 or 24 inch LCD monitor. 24 inch is a really great one and 2 of them are just brilliant :).

Stefan Mai, 23 Feb 2007 @ 8:29pmI really don't see their motivation for pulling such a stunt. They certainly aren't collecting royalties from grocery stores selling chips and coke, so with "The Super Bowl", their only problem must be trademark dilution. But with "The Big Game"? All this seems to be accomplishing is keeping people from talking about, marketing, and overall hyping up the event... part of what made it so popular in the first place.
Dino, 23 Feb 2007 @ 8:43pm
Wait, this could be a new pastimeI propose the next five euphemisms for "Super Bowl", to be called into play as the NFL takes ownership of each one over time:
- The Greedy Bowl
- The Big Commercial
- The Super Trademark
- Halftime Follies
- Is That A Pigskin In Your Pocket Or Are You Just Glad To See Me?
Monarch, 24 Feb 2007 @ 7:12am
Re: Wait, this could be a new pastimeHey! I like the phrase "The Super Trademarked Football Bowl Game" !!!
I hope that if the NFL pulls this off, that everyone starts using that phrase! Maybe then the NFL will have so much egg on their face, they will back off.

How long do you think?They say they won't trademark the word 'Game' but the way everything is cocked up now how long do you really think that will last till they try to come up with some excuse.
Maybe they should just finally admit they sold out and call it the 'Budwieser Bowl'.

Very true, it seems like lately a lot of the "articles" are more like propoganda reinforcement than actual tech analysis. Ehh, as it's been said every time a similar statement has been made, this is technically a blog and the content is bound only by where the authors want to take it. You may want to look at some of the more "traditional" outlets for slightly less biased tech analysis.

If the NFL wants to do this, then screw em' watch a movie(downloaded for free), play a game, OR, and I know this is a stretch, but get the fuck off of your fat useless american anna&britney are news asses, grab your fat lazy kids(who also have no common sense) go find some nature and go for a hike.

Jon, 24 Feb 2007 @ 7:06am
EndorsementAnother aspect of trademark is that using the trademark may imply endorsement. If a rental place says "rent a tv in time for the Super Bowl" the NFL would claim that it implies that the NFL endorses that particular store. That's an incredible stretch, but that's the angle their coming from.
But yeah, trademarks are not just about competitors trying to steal your brand name - it's also about non-competitors trying to imply that you endorse their brand name. That aspect should at least be noted in articles like this.

Tech and DirtTech is the abbrivated form of Technician, only "recently" adopted to be the abrv. for technology. Dirt, if translated to be slang, usualy means brining into light those things people don't want noticed. So to say "where's the tech analysis?" when you're reading a blog that has to do with anything that affects buisness, such as groundbreaking technologies, new consumer services, and the legality surrounding all the bs that is trademark and copywright law, then you're an idiot to see how these articles contribute to the greater whole that is TechDirt. If you truely want tech analysis, how about you pay these people for their time and effort to recieve something you want.

So basically the best answer you can give to what I thought was a very salient question is to derive some pseudo-definition of your interpretation of techDirt and state that if anyone doesn't like said defiinition they are idiotic? In other words, your world view is the only truly correct one and any questioning therof is unthinkable.

Re: NFLI'm a Super Bowler, does that mean I'm in trouble when I tell my friends that, at the lanes?
LukeD, 24 Feb 2007 @ 5:42pmGive the NFL a taste of their own medicine...Europe should trademark the word "Football".
Overcast, 24 Feb 2007 @ 8:44pmYeah, it's a 'big game' alright...
Too bad the public is the punch line of the joke.
Debi Feistkorn, 25 Feb 2007 @ 2:53am
NFLThe NFL needs to get over itself. Those guys have been trying to ruin football for years, just look what they've done to the Super Bowl. It's become little more than a showcase for multi-million dollar commercials and over done half time shows. I'm surprised they even bother to let us watch a football game.
Anonymous Coward, 25 Feb 2007 @ 3:14am
NFLWell this should not be a surprise since they are using their NFL Network to try to make every game a PPV event.
Football channel in the summer?
What? Welcome to "Cooking with Quaterbacks!"
Although if they get Rachel Ray in a cheerleader outfit...

The first rule about the Big GameThe first rule about the Big Game
Is that you can't talk about the Big Game
Overcast, 25 Feb 2007 @ 9:38amYeah, lol
Maybe they shoudl trademark 'No Fun League' - it seems like that's where they are heading.
Oh well NFL, I've always been able to take or leave football, I didn't bother watching the 'Big Game' this past month, a friend invited me over to watch on his big screen, but I didn't want to violate any copyright laws.
My 25 inch TV, well - I found more entertainment doing other stuff.
So one less person watching 'The Big Game'. You can stick it~
Hopefully MLB won't be quite this nasty, I'm a bit more fond of Baseball.
You know - maybe if the NFL tried getting some of their gangsta' players off crack, it wouldn't be so bad.
Football Hater, 25 Feb 2007 @ 10:26am
Football is for insecure menFootball SUCK! It's watched by men who are insecure and need to feel like they are part of some sort of Macho men's club. "Drink beer and watch football"..... The requirement for all red-blooded American men. BULL S**T! I'd rather watch a good Science program in order to educate my brain instead of watching some inane worthless game such as Football.
(Okay... I feel better now.)

So they've decided that nobody else uses the term?IIRC Mr. Ronald Reagan was in a movie in the 30's (40's?) where he played a college football player and they spent the whole movie talking about The Big Game with the State University.
What about every single Pee Wee baseball team talking about The Big Game?
Adam, 26 Feb 2007 @ 10:36amCan I call my toilet bowl a "super bowl"? It flashes even the biggest **** quite effortlessly. Or, would this be sort of infringement too?

Somewhere, 27 Feb 2007 @ 1:05pm
Generic words / termThis set of works is not trademarkable due to the common usage for such a long time. If the trademark office allows this, it shows who is paid off. Anyone sued by the NFL has plenty of referances to the phrase to show never should have been allowed trademark status.
Yes I agree, the NFL lawyers have too much time on their hands, send them some petro jelly, I think they need some quiet time in the closet!
Oh and I guess my party with 20 friends watching 120" projection was in violation of their crappyright? Doh, guess I better have them piss all the bud back in the cans so I can return it for my $$ back. Better pack up the stinkys back in the bags for return too... Lord forbid I don't want to be in violation of their vapor rights. What morons, all the brands bought and used at these get togethers are the same companies advertising in the game.

I need some advice installing 54 canvas pics
I do lots of stretched canvas pictures but I have never been called upon to install them.
Now all of a sudden I have 54 600x600mm ones to install around a suite of offices.
The fixings have to be invisible and secure., and not using wire because they want them hard against the walls.
Are there any clever tricks that people are using to accomplish this?
Thanks for reading this

Now that the snow has melted there are so many reasons to get out of your pad (this issue is chock-full of ideas). Go outside and enjoy.
But in Oliver, where the vast majority of us do not have backyards, public and private spaces take on new yard-like aspects.
Where do you find yourself heading on a hot summer day? Maybe a public park or a private patio? Out on our main streets, Jasper Avenue and 124 Street? In our bike
lanes and multi-use trails? On the deck of Oliver Pool or in a place of worship?
About 20,000 people call Oliver home.
Breathe, the City of Edmonton's 2017 strategy on open spaces, indicates that Oliver has less open space available for residents than in any other part of the city. Oliver also
hosts one of the most diverse populations in Edmonton. This means that not only do we need more community spaces, but a one-size-fits-all solution will not work here. We don't just need spaces and places to be physically active, or that cater to one age group. We need to nurture the whole person — physically, intellectually, spiritually — and we need to nurture our connections to one another.
Coun. Scott McKeen recently requested a report on the engagement strategy and process for assessing the need for recreation, cultural, education and community space in Oliver. The Oliver Community League will be working with the city to ensure the proposed process will capture our diverse and numerous voices — and we will be pushing to see an engagement and needs assessment for Oliver that will begin the process of developing much-needed community places, spaces and services.
Speaking for my own approach to this challenge, last June, I joined November Project Canada (see page 16), a free outdoor fitness group. This past winter was one of our longest on record in Edmonton, and being part of this supportive community helped me to push through the freezing conditions and achieve my fitness goals.
This is a community that shows up for each other year-round, no matter the weather. They motivate me to push forward and through accountability to one another.
Like November Project, Oliver is stronger when we pull together as a supportive community — we need your ideas, your initiatives and your support. If you have a vision for the future of this neighbourhood, share it. We are all accountable for creating what we see around us. While it could take years to see significant changes, we must be motivated now and into the future to speak
out about what we need in our neighbourhood.
Lisa Brown
President, Oliver Community League

A GIF Story: The Date From Hell
So you finally scored yourself a blind date. Wait, is this real life? …guys actually like me?
Once it sinks in that yes, you have a date, you can't hide your excitement.
Wait, girl, be cool about it.
But seriously, what's not to love about dates?
You may even start having a little too high of hopes for the night. I haven't met him yet but he's the one, right?
Even your girls are excited. They won't have to listen to you complain about being single anymore over drunken wine nights.
This is of course until you actually see who you have to go on the date with...you've got to be kidding me..
The waiter brings you to the table, and your date goes to the bathroom. You are debating whether or not to just get up and leave.
You talk yourself into staying. He can't be that bad, right? Who believes in love at first sight anyways?
He comes back to the table picking his nose, and you realize you made the wrong decision.
He starts talking about sh*t you don't need to know about, like his constipation problems…
…and things you don't care about.
The waiter brings your dinner out. You don't think it can get much worse until you see your date eat his baby back ribs..
Once that is demolished, he leans back in his chair as you stare at him in disgust. Wait a minute…what's that smell…DID HE JUST SH*T HIS PANTS?
Your eyes begin to tear up and you hold back gagging. Did I seriously dress up and leave my house for this? You can't help but think about your lonely future.
He then finds it appropiate to talk about his ex girlfriend…
and even has the nerve to say that Beyonce is overrated.
But wait, he wants to know about your ex boyfriend, too.
Finally, the waiter brings out the bill. You try to be positive…at least I get a free meal. You both stare at the bill, and that's when you realize he doesn't plan on paying…
As you are cursing him in your head, you slam down the money and leave. WHO RAISED YOU? Clearly lacking the ability to read social ques, he walks you to your car.
He asks if he can see you soon…possibly another date?
Before you can even respond, you climb into your car and get the hell out of there. Peace.
Feeling sorry for yourself, you drive to the closet liquor store. You plan on drowning your sorrows with a drink..or 20.
When you finally make it home, booze in hand, you call up your best friend and tell her all the details.
Being the best friend that she is, she gives you a much needed pep talk.
When you finally hang up, after about 3 hours, you think about what she said to you. "You're amazing, you'll find him soon, I promise."
After that nice ego boost, your faith in humanity is instantly restored. Who's next in line, boys?

Our camp is no less than spectacular here on the banks of the
Saryu River. This morning I fished right in front (look
very carefully you'll see me on bottom left and tops of our tents behind). It's a beautiful pool but in two hours I
never touched a fish.
Our original itinerary for this trip had us packing and floating out of the Saryu and down the
To change things up, Misty informed us we would fish upstream today and rest the confluence where we've been fishing the first two days. That was a welcomed call and after breakfast off we went.
The runs and pools upstream looked spectacular. We intended to hike up for
an hour then fish down, but the water looked so good we hiked for about two hours and perhaps five miles one way. By the time we got started it was scorching hot and swinging flies in waist deep water was a dream. That is when we started. Two hours, four hours and five hours later, without even a touch from a mahseer it lost its charm. Fishing absolutely stunk today!
By the amount of water we covered it's amazing that the only fish caught was a small mahseer by Whitney. But that's the truth. There were signs of local anglers and that may be the problem. I found several set lines and even some pieces of a net. It's the way of the world I'm afraid.
In addition to the tough fishing we took on too much hiking for such hot conditions. I'll bet it was a ten miler in and out of the water over rocks in wading shoes. It was a grunt. We returned to camp tonight exhausted and ended up sitting in the river for about an hour after dark just cooling off.
It's back to the confluence tomorrow where we've proven to ourselves that there are some big mahseer. Perhaps I can get revenge on the one that got away.
Being filmed doesn't allow me to take pics. A SPECIAL THANKS is in order to Jim Klug and Chris Patterson of Confluence Films who not only brought me on this trip but also provided most of the blog photos.
Again, please toss my old hotmail email address that I can no longer check and let's reconnect at email@example.com THANKS!

The Story Behind "O Little Town Of Bethlehem"
Posted on December 18, 2015
When Phillips, the well loved preacher, was a boy, his parents had him and his brothers learn hymns. As he grew older, he loved to write hymns and poems himself, especially for children. He loved all children and as a bachelor standing six foot six inches tall, he loved nothing more than romping with children, laughing at their stories, and sharing their smiles and tears.
On Christmas Day in 1868, he decided to do something unusual for the children's Christmas program at his church. he would write his memories of Bethlehem, where he had spent Christmas Eve three years before. The bishop started to write, "O Little Town Of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie …". Twenty four lines flowed from his inspired pen. he gave the words to Mr. Redner, who in the middle of the night before that Christmas service, woke up suddenly with a melody ringing like angels in his ears. He quickly jotted them down and filled in the harmony on the weay to church in the morning. That same day, he taught the song to the children of Holy Trinity Church.
Today, more than 150 years later, we have been singing this classic carol for all ages, in all kinds of styles and arrangements. Browse the list below for some of the most popular versions of O Little Town Of Bethlehem, and find the perfect one for your special Christmas worship service.

A prominent Jordanian writer – charged with offending Islam after allegedly sharing a satirical cartoon on his Facebook page – has been killed today outside the court in the capital Amman where he was standing trial, state news agency Petra said.
Nahid Hattar, a Christian, who was facing charges for sharing a cartoon deemed offensive to Islam, was struck by three bullets on Sunday before the assailant was apprehended, said Petra.
Sources who witnessed the incident told AFP that an armed man had opened fire in front of the court in Amman's Abdali district.
The 56-year-old Christian writer was arrested on August 13 and detained for 15 days after sharing a cartoon which allegedly mocks jihadists on his Facebook account.
According to local media, he was detained on charges of insulting God, inciting sectarian strife and insulting Islam before being released on bail in early September.
READ ALSO: Lil Wayne Reveals Drake Slept With His Girlfriend
The cartoon he shared depicts a bearded man lying in bed with two women and smoking, asking God to bring him a drink.
The cartoon features an illustration of God under the title "God of Daesh", using an Arabic acronym for the Islamic State group.
He stated on Facebook that the cartoon made fun of "terrorists and how they imagine God and heaven, and does not insult God in any way".
The publication provoked 'monumental' outrage on social media as netizens accused him of being anti-Islam.
While he removed the cartoon from his Facebook page, Hattar, however, said he had not meant to cause offence and wanted to expose radical Islamists' view of heaven.
But the authorities said he had broken the law by sharing the cartoon.
Jordan is a leading member of the US-led coalition fighting the Islamic State group in neighbouring Iraq and Syria, and was the target of a June 21 suicide bombing that killed seven border guards.

Daniel Rehn and Adam Robezzoli are poised to change the future of videogames.
The doors are not yet open to their cultural hub for art, design and research but LA Game space is already a seminal venture for neoteric thinking. Their Kickstarter campaign was the epitome of benevolence; securing backers with the creation of 30 never before seen games by coveted developers. Incredulously, a $15 pledge would capture original work by the designers of Hotline Miami (Cactus), Mirror Moon EP (Santa Ragione), Katamari Damacy (Keita Takahashi), The Unfinished Swan (Ben Esposito) and Canabalt (Adam Saltsman) amongst other established creatives. Higher pledging tiers included work by Adventure Time's creator; Pendleton Ward, Capy's; Vic Nguyen and pixel artist Eboy.
Sony and Microsoft have both recently embraced indie developers in a bid to capitalise on more protean experiences. Such mainstream exposure is extremely positive but their success will largely be determined by an open-minded consumer, who dares to support ideas outside of the typical AAA space.
LA/GS is certainly equipped to bridge the familiar and the empirical. The inaugural release of backer dividends has just been delivered and the results are astonishing. The types of experiments offered here are inventive and divergent, imbued with a creative freedom not found in most games. If this is a reflection of what we can expect from the space then we are witnessing an important revelation in the advancement of the videogame.
This venture was always conceived to sustain a global conversation (events will be streamed and archived for free online), The conversation is not only integral to pursue innovation but also to demand a metanoia towards experimentalism. There is always an expectancy that 'next gen' games will resemble skyscrapers, that tower over the previous, but that is habitually reserved for graphics, not necessarily theme or content. Polished facades can usurp the promise of a new console turning an investment in the future into a tool for re-visiting (and re-purchasing) the past.
LA/GS will stand with a firm commitment to modernism and the credentials of its benefactors galvanize this; Adam Robezzoli lionized games both as an events organizer and as a designer. The presiding founder of Attract mode has also collaborated with illustrator Angie Wang on Wake up! which will appear in a later game pack.
Daniel Rehn is an authority in digital archaeology and preservation, the restless MacArthur award winner also fluctuates between editor of WWWTXT, ANI GIF, Z/Z/Z/, and Playpower. Rehn further extends himself by sharing an art space with Sarah Caluag; X me + Sarah, collaborating with live visuals and real world installations. Sarah's contribution to LA/GS is understated; working behind the scenes as an advisor but possibly as a third (shadow) partner in the venture? Triforce or not, together they are an influence in exploratory thinking, showcasing demiurgic minds and contemporary visions.
The advisory board for LA/GS solidifies a discerning reputation. A provident ensemble of mentors; from the amiable Venus Patrol and IGF luminary Brandon Boyer, to the accomplished jinsoo An; curator, researcher and 'experience' architect for myriad blue chip companies. They lead a meticulously thought out counsel that will bring lucidity to the creative output.
In an ideal world, the critical and commercial success of a game would not be determined by how accurately it repeats what has been made before, but in its ability to amaze through the courage of originality. The work created here is a bold example of thinking rather than reveling in plagiarism. Hopefully these types of ideas will inspire or amalgamate with the big budget monoliths, so future investments can be based on imagination rather than the tried and tested.
For now though there is a clear distinction; the next construct of AAA architecture will have us gazing up, amazed by their splendour. I am confident however that LA Game Space will prompt us to look in all directions, and that is more exciting and much more important to advance the medium.
The experimental game pack can be purchased here for a limited time.

After seeing a number of customized guitars and steampunk guitars online, I decided that I needed to try and make one myself. This was a fun project as I was able to use a lot of different mediums and challenge the range of my skill set.

It is always a good idea to spend the weekend in Miami. Especially if it means escaping the Spring that can't decide if it wants to stick around in Chicago. This was a quick trip, but refreshing nonetheless. I got in just before midnight Thursday and took a 7am flight out Sunday, leaving me with 2 full days to soak up the sun.
So, if you don't know this, Miami is a moderately expensive city, especially when it comes to food, so heading into this trip I was not keen on spending lots of money on a weekend wardrobe refresh. I bought some new items, but focused on what I already owned to put together these outfits. Not buying new clothes freed up some cash to do more fun things in Miami.
