Albins AGB and ST6 Top Podiums
at the 50th Baja 500
Ensenada, B.C., Mexico—The 50th Anniversary of the Baja 500 proved to be one of the most grueling ever. Silt, washes, ditches, drop-offs and rocky passes are just some of the hazards that make Baja a serious test for even the most seasoned teams. On top of the elements, the size, power and number of vehicles entered into this year's race make the Baja 500 course increasingly torturous with each pass.
Learn more about our line of racing transaxles.
This year's race once again confirmed Baja's brutal reputation. With a start and finish in Ensenada, the 542 mile loop took racers east to the El Chinero checkpoint at mile 170. From there, the course headed north for a quick 40 mile burst before turning back to the south west towards the Pacific and the Guerrero checkpoint at mile 370. The racers then turned north along the coast before veering inland for the final stretch heading back to Ensenada.
Albins AGB-equipped Class 1 Unlimited vehicles took three out of the top ten spots at the Baja 500 including the top of the podium. Justin Davis/Green Army's Baja 500 win continues his 2018 streak in Albins AGB-equipped car 185 following wins in San Felipe, Barstow and Primm. Other great Baja 500 Class 1 results for AGB-equipped cars include 129 Brandon Bailey/Stronghold Motorsports 4th place and 109 Tony Murray in 6th place finish.

In Class 7, 7209 Jeff Proctor powered to another Baja win, taking the top spot in the Albins ST6-equipped Honda Ridgeline. Proctor and the Honda Off Road crew are no strangers to Baja. Procter placed 2nd in Class 7 at the last Baja 1000 and also won Class 2 at the Ridgeline's maiden Baja 1000. Proctor/Honda Ridgeline have been on a roll this year with a Class 7 win at the Parker 425 and a 2nd at the Mint.
One more impressive Class 7 result came from Dan Chamlee's second place in Weddle Performance Clutch-equipped car 700. A huge congratulation to all teams that finished this year's Baja 500.

Homer has yet to fill out a bio.
aishwariya give a kiiss Lol
Hey Homer, really liked your 4 part article, I think another reason you can state is that so many Americans are dismissive of the US quality, they instantly say "we suck." Also, I think there is a mindsight in Europe as well that Americans don't care about the game. I worked with a Brit this summer and he said I was the first American he met who cared about soccer. Also, I studied abroad in Europe and many Europeans were surprised an American liked soccer. Big props on your article, I really enjoyed it!
Good Stuff Homer. You touched on a few sayings that I unfortunately didn't have the time to. Keep writing! Cheers, Ned

Bridging Connections, Channels, Cheran, Death, English Writers Cooperative, Gunadasa Amerasekera, Poetry, Rex Baker, Too Old For Tears
To say something new or striking about Death as an abstract concept is not easy for a poet. It has long been a subject of poetry, along with the inevitable passing of time and the approach of death.
The three poems published here this week all however have something unusual about them, which I believe well worthy of special notice.
Rex Baker was British Council Representative in Sri Lanka from 1984, though by the time he left in 1990 he was called a Director, and the Council had turned into a commercial outfit – though thankfully that did not prevent at least a couple of his successors from taking forward also the altruistic work that had been the hallmark of the Council in the past, when wonderful characters like Bill McAlpine held sway.
Rex encouraged many Sri Lankan initiatives, drama workshops and regular local productions, the English Writers Cooperative and its regular journal 'Channels' and also many low cost books which students all over the country found extremely useful.
I realized however that the writing was on the wall when, under his successor, London declared that it was not the task of the Council to take bread from the mouths of British publishers – not realizing that developing the reading habit widely was one way of actually promoting sales of books at higher levels in the future.
Rex did not contribute to 'Channels' while he was here, if I remember aright, but after he had left us he sent the occasional poem. I was particularly pleased to use these, since after Richard he was I think the first poet we published who had command of unusual rhythms.
As befits a Classicist, he uses effectively here the Tum-ta-ta of dactyls, but note also the slow spondees in the last lines of the second and third verses, at the beginning and end respectively of the lines.
Though the poem is in one sense a conceit, a vehicle to convey skill with language, the ideas resonate, and the likening of death to winter takes on a new dimension in the last line. With the comparison between men and leaves sustained throughout, the notion of men forgetting the leaves is particularly telling, even for those of us who have not experienced a bleak winter.
Too old for tears
Such as the falling of leaves, so is the passing of men;
Such as the stirring of trees, so is the breathing of men;
Winds move the sighing of myriads, loose
In the rhythm of dying,
Ready to fall from the restless movement of being.
Each generation cries with the coming of seasons
And the old will remember the wind in the
stillness of noon,
The infant will cry unheard in the tremulous silence
When treetops sway in the ominous peace of the sun.
Such as the movement of stars, so is the living of man
And as the living of man, so is the weeping of years;
We crush through the brown dead leaves uncaring
And thrill to the impotent blasts of winter
For we have grown too old for tears.
Such as the man, so is the juggling leaf in the wind;
Such as the foliage, so the ephemeral flock
of immortals;
Only the winter is barren of fear of the wind
When the seasons have ended and men
Have forgotten the leaves.
Gunadasa Amerasekera's poem approached Death directly, in opposing the standard philosophical acceptance of death to the emotional unwillingness to face it.
This harshly realistic approach is well brought out in Manoj Ariyaratne's translation, which also however recreates movingly the intensity of the ambiguous feelings involved.
It is certain
That after a few days more
My life will turn to death
Is it all right for me
With a mind full of experience
To worry as I think of it
It is presumed that
All beings will die
Death is presumed
At the moment of birth
Life is uncertain
As morning dew
Only death is eternal
So why worry?
But unawares
The thought of death bursts out
Breaking my heart
Without my knowing it
My eyes fill with tears
Life is like a chain
That starts with birth
And death is simply
Its last link
Though it is torment
For those who think of it
A scholar will realise
That there is meaning in death
It is eternal
And another will replace me
in this world
Is the meaning of death
So, knowing life clearly
Why do I worry like a child?
The thought of death bursts out
Is this my end?
Is this the last time
I shall see the world?
Sunrise, sunset
The beauty of the world
Will I lose it
Is this
The last time
I shall see the world?
Is there nobody to free me?
Oh God
Is there no help
For me?
Cheran's poem is entitled after the god of death in Hindu mythology, but it would be naive to see death in the abstract as the subject of the poem.
Mention of night and a lurking shadow suggest that it is not simply death that lies in wait, and rouses fear, but perhaps the intruders who took so many lives in the North over so many years. The poem evokes simply but forcefully the feeling of those awaiting death, tossed between fear and resolution.
The images from nature that suggest vibrant life provide a sharp contrast to the suspense of the opening stanzas. The translation is by Chelva Kanaganayakam, and the last stanza of the poem is particularly powerful, in the manner it combines positive perspectives from nature with the helpless resignation of the opening section.
The wind falters
as fear
fills the night
I gasp at the stillness
between the stars
Whose shadow lurks by the door?
I would not know
nor would they
It happened
No reason
no justice
values and virtues freeze where they stand
in the oppressive silence
In the dark
lost in flight
pigeons pound and pound again against the door
My resolve to endure slips
Do the butterflies
disdaining life
shed their colours in the prime of youth?
As sunflowers, their golden petals
untouched by dust
as lotus flowers that bloom at the touch of water
as stars
they will be born again
Until then
at the edge of the lake
stare at the waves
Translated by Chelva Kanaganayakam

Helicopter to Deliver Inverter for Solar Array on Convention Center
December 27, 2010 – Ameresco will be using a helicopter on Tuesday, December 28, to deliver an inverter for the new solar array on the roof of the Knoxville Convention Center as well as a new chiller for the center's HVAC system.
The work will begin at 8 a.m. and is expected to continue until at least mid-morning.
Both the inverter and the chiller are being installed as part of the City of Knoxville's ongoing program of energy improvements being made through its contract with Ameresco, an energy services company.
The 28.5 kW solar photovoltaic system on the roof of the convention center will be the largest solar array within the city when it is completed. The city is also working on plans to install a 90 kW system there at a later date.
The city and Ameresco entered into a $19 million energy conservation package in 2009 for improvements that will reduce the city's energy costs and consumption. The savings generated by those measures are expected to pay for their installation and maintenance at the city's 99 buildings, 37 ballparks/athletic fields and three golf courses.

01. LOSE YOUR MIND feat.Yutaka Furukawa from DOPING PANDA
02. Smile again
03. LOSE YOUR MIND (instrumental)
04. Smile again (instrumental)
~Single Review~
BoA released her 25th Japanese single, "LOSE YOUR MIND," on December 12, 2007, where it debuted on the Oricon daily charts at number six. The song was used in the Japanese drama, "Doyo Wide Gekijo."
"LOSE YOUR MIND" has excellent pop production. It starts out with BoA ad-libbing in a relatively controlled manner with a great guitar riff and infectious beat that carries over into the power driven chorus, which has to wind down just to re-enter another verse. The chorus is very catchy, with the memorable hook, "Lose your mind," but by the second chorus, the repetition of the hook becomes repetitive, shifting the song from great pop to good pop. There's just too little variety in the song, as the beginning sounds no different from the beginning. And let's face it, the repetition in the song, if put on repeat for long enough, could make you "lose your mind" too! That repetition really cuts away any chance of playing and enjoying the track more than a few times. Better than a lot of her other recent efforts, but not as good as her last single, or last Korean single with AnyBand.
"Smile Again" fills that cherished position of winter ballad for BoA, this year I guess. Considering it's a B-side, it's not all that bad, but compared to her other winter ballads, it's not very powerful. Especially since it's coupled with such a powerful song, Smile Again feels a bit weak. It's got a decent hook, but it just feels blander and less polished than BoA's other songs. "Smile Again" does show that BoA can sing ballads, well, however.
The instrumentals are pretty good; "Smile Again"'s is easily ignored, but "Lose My Mind"'s is interesting to listen to because of the complexity of the instrumentation.
BoA has a great deal of untapped vocal power that she dare not use in this single. Had she used her voice to mix both of these songs up a bit, this single could have easily been improved by leaps and bounds. As it stands, her voice and production team are still very polished, but not the best.

Check out the ears on both the horse and his pixie--eat your heart out Spock!

Love that costume! The link from your site isn't working, but you can type www.thehorsetailor.com and it comes up. Looks to me like they might have been celebrating St. Paddy's Day early as they have on the main page that they do costumes for horses and "raiders"!!! tee hee.

How can you be more one-of-a-kind than one-of-a-kind? Sorry, Yahoo, you'll be getting a D on this article.

The further and continuing adventures of the girl who sat in the back of your homeroom, reading and daydreaming.
I think what they wanted to sya was "unique-est".
I constantly get on people who use locutions like "very unique." These are often well-educated people strangely enough.
Also the use of "that" for "who" when referring to people bugs me.
(recapcha word: "entsism" Would that be prejudice relating to Tolkein tree-creatures? Racist! Sexist! Entsist!)

With the holidays approaching, there's no time like the present to think about how to market your business to new and existing customers. Ready to ramp up your sales? Try these five quick tips for making a lasting impression this holiday season:
- Beef up your customer service. There's no quicker way to turn away customers than with poor or nonexistent customer service. Include contact phone numbers and email addresses on your Website that make it easy for customers to get in touch with you regarding ordering questions and other needs. Even if your customer service department is just you, answer phone calls and emails like a big business — professionally and courteously, with a goal of solving the customer's problem and ensuring they come back for repeat business.
- Let them know you care. Customer appreciation emails that include a promotional offer "just for VIPs" make customers feel special. Send a few of them throughout the holiday season — say, offer $25 toward a future purchase with any purchase of $100 or more. Make sure they are limited-time offers that take place during the holiday season so customers sense the urgency in taking advantage of the deal.
- Use social media. Use Facebook, Twitter and other social networks to announce special promotions and capture new email addresses. Start conversations that spark interest among your audience and get your customers talking about your brand.
- Reach out to inactive customers. Do you have some customers who haven't bought from you in a while? Tell them you miss them with a special email offer during the holidays. If the deal is good enough, they might come back and become active customers again.
- Cross-promote. Work with another local business to cross-promote offers in your newsletters or in-store locations. A bakery could team up with a coffee shop, for example, so the businesses can offer a special discount to one another's customers.
Simple yet effective, these five tips will give you the extra push you need to increase your sales during the holidays and beyond.

Created and maintained by Dance/USA, the Directory of Not-for-Profit Dance Ensembles is a listing of professional tax-exempt dance ensembles and fiscally sponsored dance artists based in the United States or a U.S. territory (the "Ensemble Directory"). The Ensemble Directory evolved out of Dance/USA's former National Company Roster.
The Ensemble Directory was created through review of the following: the tax forms of organizations identified as dance or cultural/ethnic-related by the Internal Revenue Service; dance-related literature and other written materials; listings of fiscally sponsored dance artists and projects shared with Dance/USA by local arts service organizations and fiscal sponsors or contained on these organizations' websites; discussions with dance makers; and through the self-identification of professional tax-exempt dance ensembles and fiscally sponsored dance artists to Dance/USA.
To be included in the Ensemble Directory, a dance ensemble must possess the following characteristics:

Debate Club
- Skill up – reasoning, communication, assertiveness, getting your point across
- Become more articulate (talking clearly right?)
- Blow you mind on current issues of your choosing
- Hear ideas and views different to your own
- Certification and membership – great for your future CV
Week 1 (3 males, 14 females)
The students were welcomed and thanked for coming. We discussed the badges, certificates and they were told that this was a commitment for 6 weeks.
The students were asked the following questions for a baseline:
- Are you male/female? F / M
- Do you have any good friends of the opposite sex? Y / N
If NO – What would make you choose not to make a friend with the opposite sex?
3. How do you rate your communication skills out of 10?
4. Rate your confidence to speak in front of a group of people out of 10
We discussed the basic structure of the club: there will be 2 sides for some topics, you can change your position, there will be whole group discussion for less polar topics. We developed some ground rules: 1 person speaks at a time, addressing the whole group. The students will have the opportunity to chair after week 3.
We chose some more topic ideas and voted for today's topic: 'Committing suicide is a selfish act.' 20 mins 2 sides (4 in favour 13 against)
Summary of debate: possible reasons for suicide, how to get/give help, responsibility for own state of mind, euthanasia, effect on family and friends, depression, self-harm, personal choice, autonomy
We agreed next week's topic – Do we need feminism?

This place?
It sucks.
They told me I would only have to be here for 30 days. I've been here for 63.
I do what they tell me because I want to leave. Wake up on time, shower in a bathroom that I share with people I barely know or trust, and eat breakfast. Food I hate. I've asked for something else but was told to eat what was offered, this isn't a restaurant.
I know that.
I go school. Not my school, not anymore, a new school for kids like me. That's what they told me. I still go because I want to go home. I do my work.
Its been 63 days. They said 30.
I'm not going to be nice anymore.
I don't trust them, they lied to me.
I want to go home. I miss my mom.
When they ask me to wake up I will tell them to get out of my room and I will throw things at them. They will nod saying that the "honeymoon period" is over.
They are wrong.
I want to go home.
When I'm hungry I will eat what I want or throw things until I get it. I will punch holes in walls, become verbally aggressive, tell them I have rights. I am desperate to know the truth.
I will run for the door only to be grabbed by strong hands and pulled back. I will feel the ground on my back and spit into the faces of the liars around me.
Anger will engulf me. A fiery rage that I can not escape.
Medication will be prescribed to calm the beast.
I'll feel lost.
I miss my mom.
What if she's forgotten me?
This weeks Red Writing Hood prompt asked us; Is there someone who drives you crazy? Someone who really gets under your skin. Write a first-person piece – as if YOU are this individual. Write from his or her perspective and include the things that really bother you. For instance, maybe there's a good reason why they eat with their mouths open, or why they use sarcasm as a weapon.

I purchased a tele conversion lens (TCL-X100) for my Fuji X100. I got it with a quite good price (139 euros) so I think it was a nice deal. The reason to get this tele converter was my desire to have two small cameras with different fixed lenses. I have Ricoh GR which has a beautiful 28 mm equivalent lens, so that camera serves as a wide option. The X100 has 35 mm equivalent lens which is, in my opinion, quite near to GR's 28 mm. I wanted to have bigger cap between the focal lengths of these cameras and TCL-X100 just allows that and makes X100 to have 50 mm equivalent normal lens.
So, my intention is to keep these two small cameras with me when going out shooting. And I shoot quite much of portraits for which 50 mm suits better than 28 or 35 mm. I will report here in my blog how this approach is turning out.

Mumbai, Sep 21 (): Ashwarya Rai's daughter Aaradhya Bachchan, who is fondly called Beti B, was photographed by a cameraman with her mother at Mumbai airport on their way to Chicago.
Aishwarya always protects her child from media persons, by wearing a baby carriage to hold Beti B whenever she comes out. Aaradhya is usually dressed in baby pink clothes while her mom is always seen in a dark colour attire.
Aishwarya and Aaradhya took flight at 2.30 am to New York on Tuesday. The actress is on the way to accompany her husband Abhishek Bachchan, who is in US for his shoot for Dhoom 3.
The website Pinkvilla has released the first close-up shots of Beti B on internet yesterday. It said that Aishwarya Rai's daughter Aaradhya Bachchan was snapped while they were at the Mumbai International airport on Tuesday early morning.
As usual, Aishwarya looked stunning in her black outfit. She tried her best to hide Aaradhya from media persons. But, this time she could not completely hide her face. The photographer has clicked two pictures of Beti B when Aishwarya loosened her hold on her head.
Both the photos of Beti B with her mother were uploaded on the website and they do not look like morphed as they were done in the past. They are real stills of Aishwarya and Aaradhaya.
Abhishek Bachchan is in Chicago busy shooting for his forthcoming movie Dhoom 3. Aishwarya and Aaradhya will be joining the actor on Monday. All the three will be there in Chicago until Abhishek completes his shooting schedule in US. In a few days, Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan will also join them.
Abhishek has earlier said that his daughter should have her mother's looks. But the latest picture reveals she looks more like her father but one cannot come to any conclusion as a baby's face keeps on changing and she might take the shape and features of her mother in her later years.

Don't Forget Super
By Brian Boyd
Published by the Victorian Electrical Trades Union, 2018
Ever wondered where your superannuation scheme came from and what it is meant to do?
I always thought it was a lump sum payment so I could buy a caravan and go around Australia before going on the age pension, and many have tried to do just that. But today anyone will tell you the age pension is not enough to live on, and working until your 67 is just not possible for most people, especially if you work in the construction industry.

text: Has anyone found an elegant way to use ChargePoint with a Tesla? ChargePoint has a locking door which offers some element of security. A thief would have to damage the locking door or cut the "Spare Connector's" cable to steal the cable. However, ChargePoint's plug is set deep in a cave so you cannot plug the "Spare Connector" tip directly into the ChargePoint socket because of the "Spare Connector" tip's size and and shape. The prong pattern works OK, but the head of the "Spare Connector" tip is to fit directly into the socket. Of course, one could use a short extension cord, but that would give no security for the "Spare Connector." I tried one small 3-way adapter, but it twisted the position so that the "Spare Connector" still could not be plugged in. Has anyone found a small spacer or 3-way adapter that will allow the "Spare Connector" tip to be used under the door of the ChargePoint, or any other elegant solution? I would prefer not to have to carry a lock and chain to have some degree of security. By the way, ChargePoint in my area only has 16 amps, but it is convenient to me and free for now.

While fundamental rights are a legal obligation, experience shows that their implementation requires public support. Public officials can convince the public by engaging in critical debate, anticipating opposition and working with "champions" who can advocate for fundamental rights inside and outside public administrations.
Public officials play a central role in providing correct information about fundamental rights and cultivating a fundamental rights culture by challenging stereotypes and actively promoting fundamental rights principles in public debate.
It is important to bear in mind that information is generated not only by official sources but also by critics, commentators, journalists and anyone who tweets or maintains a blog. Keeping up-to-date with the most relevant current debates can be a great source of information for a communication strategy and can help avoid sudden surprises in the form of negative publicity.
To promote fundamental rights amongst the public, it is recommended that public officials:
- Win over sceptics and anticipate opposition
- Identify Champions – dedicated individuals that play a central role in realising fundamental rights and can persistently advocate for fundamental rights.
- Engage in public debate and correct misconceptions
- Organise public campaigns to raise the profile of fundamental rights and keep them in the public eye.

REVIEW: In a Dark, Dark Wood
Title: IN A DARK DARK WOOD
Author: RUTH WARE
Genre: SUSPENSE
Reviewer: VY CHAU
Ruth Ware's psychological murder mystery hardened my cold dead heart.
Never did I expect that a novel about a bachelorette party gone wrong to stir up such deep pangs of sympathy for the main character, Nora Shaw. Perhaps it is the resemblance of similar struggles that I recognize in her personality to evoke such a reaction in myself. She is seen as the most troubled character out of the group. She is heavily introverted, and will go as far as ordering her groceries online to avoid going out into public.
REVIEW: Winter's Bone
Title: WINTER'S BONE
Author: DANIEL WOODRELL
Genre: DOMESTIC FICTION
If, like me, you thought this book was a glimpse into the world of albino porn, then prepare yourself for disappointment.
If, however, you are captivated by a story about Ozark Americans with names like (more…)
Review: SALOON AT THE EDGE OF EVERYWHERE
The planets must have finally aligned, because our favorite resident blogger/Photoshop terrorist/space cadet has written a book. Not just any book- but a SciFi book with a blast of fantasy and a galaxy of humor.
And toilets.
I had the privilege of reading SALOON AT THE EDGE OF EVERYWHERE and am happy to say it was everything I thought it would be- a funny and sweet read that doesn't take itself too seriously, just like the author himself.
A.H. Browne's story was so irreverent that I just had to know more about the brain behind the book. Well thank our lucky stars, because today I get to bring you none other than Pouring My Art Out himself, A.H. Browne. (more…)
REVIEW: Harem Master
When I first chose to review HAREM MASTER I was concerned I'd find nothing more than a glorified Penthouse Forum article. Yes, it does involve a middle-aged man who is "entertained" by a self-appointed harem of females ranging from employees to contemporaries to nymphets. And yes, it is at times raunchy and raw and sexually charged. But R.B. Hatch's development of the narrator, a man simply known as "John," is well written and highly entertaining.
As a reader I found myself simultaneously repulsed by and sympathetic toward John's actions that form the relationship between him and his "harem." In "John" Hatch has created an "everyman" whose wit, intelligence and sense of mystery utterly charm the women around him into willingly becoming his objects of desire. It's Hatch's ability to endear John to the reader that helps to create a world that is not only plausible, but downright believable.
More than just erotica, HAREM MASTER is a plot-driven novel that delves into the mind and motives of its protagonist and speaks with a voice that will please its readers.
Confessions Of A Star Wars Virgin – Anniversary Reblog!
I have a confession to make. I've never seen Star Wars. Or The Empire Strikes Back. Or Return of the Jedi.
So on the prompting of a certain wunderkind who calls himself THE ELITE I've decided to actually sit down and watch these movies back to back. I'm leaving now to watch Star Wars and I'll return to the post with an assessment when I'm done.
First, I need to apologize for all the SciFi geek jokes I've made over the course of my life, because that movie friggin' ROCKED!!!!
So Han was hot and all but Luke was super annoying. I honestly don't know how Han didn't just kick him off the Millennium Falcon on day one. I also wanted to smack C3PO upside the head throughout most of the movie.
But if you ask me, what made the entire film was Chewbacca. Honestly, if I'd known more about his character it wouldn't have taken me so long to see this movie. He's the only one that makes any sense and he doesn't have a single coherent line of dialogue! Now, onto EMPIRE!
Totally did not see the whole Han/Leia romance angle coming, although I probably should have. Leia's every bit the "denies/doesn't show romantic emotions" pain in the ass I am.
Lando's kind of a dick, but my boy Chewbacca nearly tears him to pieces so that was wicked awesome. I also wish at some point Yoda would have kicked Luke's whiny ass right into the swamp. Best of all I FINALLY got to see the "Luke, I am your father" scene I've always heard people talk about.
But the part that pissed me off most was that at the end of the movie Han is still frozen. I suppose I'm not so upset about it for my sake, seeing as I'm about to watch the next movie in a moment, but I can't imagine what it must have been like back in the day when people had to wait years for it to hit the theaters. Alright, time to bring on JEDI!
Please all you fans out there, tell me the whole reveal of the "Luke/Leia twin" thing was a late to the table script add-on and not part of the original story arc. Because I went back and skimmed through Empire looking for a specific moment I was sure I saw and……..yeah.
As usual, Chewy rocked. Jabba was awesome and the Ewoks were…well, let's just say they were cute, but I'm trying to understand why they were necessary. And…I kind of wish Luke didn't take off Vader's mask, but that's just me.
All in all I'd have to say that the movies were excellent, even though I watched them after seeing more recent CGI fueled films like Transformers. And while I doubt I'll be attending any conventions any time soon, I finally understand how the fans are as dedicated to the films as they are.
Now, my original plan was to watch the next three movies or prequels tomorrow; but my boys made me promise to wait a couple of days. They said they want the euphoria of me finally getting to see the original three wear off before I watched the next ones and got really, really mad.
Whatever that means.

Every so often there comes a moment when we see ourselves through another person's eyes. Determining whether that's good or bad depends entirely on what we see. Most of my epiphanies are delivered in the form of my sister telling me my ass looks fat in my jeans, whether I ask for her opinion or not.
Commentary on my fat ass or bad breath I can handle, but what I wasn't prepared for was the reality of personal feedback in the form of reviews for my novella, Reapers With Issues.
Before I begin I'd like to state that every reader who reviewed my work negatively did not condemn me personally for what I'd written, despite not particularly enjoying the book. I've read reviews of other books where the reviewer took the author to task, and I am happy to say I've been blessed with a classy group of readers who didn't feel the need to blast me.
I guess what confounds me most is that I expected there to be more blow back for subject matter. Portraying Jesus as a closet homosexual and writing a scene where Genghis Khan violates a shi-tzu wasn't going to win me an audience with the Pope, and I knew that going in. I also prepared myself for a critique of the quality of the writing itself, which as it turns out I didn't receive much of. What I did get was essentially the same question, asked in so many words, of what kind of person could conceive of the Reapers idea at all. Again, good or bad depends entirely on what we see.
[enter the dreaded introspection process]
The first thing I did was try to answer the question of what kind of person I am. Despite an obscene amount of navel-gazing I am no closer to that answer now than I was when I began. My motivation to write Reapers With Issues was just as strong and the subject matter just as easy to conceptualize as Gods of Asphalt's was, so identifying a specific default in thinking didn't pan out. The truth is that I've got a hundred different stories buzzing around in my head; everything from harmless children's stories to British comedies to even more Reapers sequels (oddly there's nothing milling around in there that remotely smacks of Erotica, but that's a post for another day after an hour on a couch).
So after an even more shameless bought of self-contemplation I began to ask myself a different question, "Why do any of us write what we write?"
Do we choose our genre or subject matter because of who we are, or because of what we make of the world around us? I imagine it's no coincidence that Reapers With Issues was written during the darkest hours of a friend's battle with cancer, or that Gods of Asphalt was written while stuck in bed, listening to my two teenaged sons bicker amongst themselves and argue with their father.
It is also not lost on me that I wrote Reapers With Issues from a third-person point-of-view, allowing me to observe at a distance the story of a Reaper whose best efforts to gather souls are thwarted by a Savior, or that the overall theme of Gods of Asphalt is how brothers cope when their mother isn't around.
I suppose in the end what we choose to write comes from the harmony of both who we are and what we see. I've learned that whether my writing is received as harmony or dischord depends entirely on who's doing the reading, and no amount of alteration of my "music" will accommodate everyone.
For the record, I'm fine with that. I am a Jazz fan, after all.

On October 1, 2013, the Obama government healthcare mandate essential most Americans to obtain and maintain overall health insurance coverage. The state's kids health insurance coverage plan is named KidsCare and it is accessible to youngsters under the age of eighteen. That is why I believe we must get away from employer primarily based insurance coverage altogether and have every individual buy their own insurance, just like they do their life insurance coverage, car insurance coverage, residence insurance coverage. Yet another alternative for folks in particular associations is to look for affordable health insurance provided by the organizations they might belong.
These overall health insurance coverage coverage plans tends to make the battle of medication simple for individuals. As extended as you can not see the future, you could have overall health insurance to safeguard against the feasible well being problems that may possibly occur. Nevertheless, folks with no little or no insurance coverage can be turned away except in emergencies. Well being care companies are run by some of the most greedy people on Earth, shame on them. These searching for Michigan wellness insurance can apply for coverage with out any worry of rejection due to a pre existing health-related situation. I actually worry for our two sons who live in the US since I know they would drop their health care insurance if they had been to shed their good jobs.
The cheapest well being insurance coverage accessible to you will depend on your income and assets. Presented here are questions and answers about different types of California Special Needs Trusts that preserve government benefits as nicely as how they are affected by the Inexpensive Care Act (ACA). CHARLESTON, (WTAP): 2016 is well underway, but it really is not as well late to enroll in overall health insurance.
Annual savings of $1,335 to spend the tax instead of buying subsidized well being insurance. This contains setting up well being care proxies and sophisticated directives, exploring their wishes about resuscitation efforts, and discussing finish-of-life care choices such as hospice. A lot of reliable services exist that provide on the internet quotes and certified health insurance coverage agents in your area. Yes, costs are usually crucial, especially for complete-time college or university students nevertheless, you need to have to be aware of the precise health coverage you will be getting for the price you are paying. As far as Constitutionality on mandating that everybody obtain healthcare insurance like we must have driver's insurance coverage.
If you do not have health insurance, you have to sign up for 2017 coverage during open enrollment, from November 1, 2016 to January 31, 2017. You created a very good start off with your hub, but there are far more reasons the convoluted mess health care is in now. Fascinating read – As an Australian, I couldn't recognize why the US didn't appear to want health auto. Large insurers, or these who give strong financial incentives for you to see a restricted group of wellness providers usually get the greatest discounts. The humane point to do. However, to do this, we as a nation would want to make specific alterations to what we anticipate from our overall health care program.…

Late in every Montgomery County Council budget season comes a moment when pent up frustrations breach the surface and words start to fly. Add a June 24 Democratic primary to the mix, and some council members can become slightly unhinged.
Such a moment came at a May 6 hearing when council member George Leventhal (D-At-Large), who is running for another term, took exception to the "body language" of Management and Budget Director Jennifer Hughes.
"Ms. Hughes, you are conveying through your body language and facial expressions that you feel put upon," Leventhal said, according to a video of the session available in the council's archive (Tune in at the 2:51:30 mark).
There are only brief cutaways to the witness table, so it's not possible to see exactly what Leventhal was talking about. In an interview Monday, he said: "She was mugging, she was making exaggerated expressions of impatience and disagreement...rolling her eyes and arching her head back."
Hughes denied making any inappropriate gestures or expressions, but beyond that declined to comment.
This all started during a budget discussion with Department of Technology Services (DTS) officials, who disclosed that county servers are still supported by Microsoft 2003. The company stopped servicing that software in 2011, officials said, service that included updates to security. (2:12:26)
Council members expressed astonishment at the news, which is particularly embarrassing given that Montgomery aspires to become a hub for civil cybersecurity research, in partnership with the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
DTS officials apparently kept quiet about the whole thing until this spring, when two outages affected the mobile communications of about 11,000 county employees. Council member Nancy Navarro (D-Midcounty) chair of the government operations committee and also up for reelection, recounted a letter she sent to DTS chief information officer Sonny Segal that the security risk "calls into question the judgment of DTS leadership."
But what really ticked off council members was that the technical issues had thrown their Microsoft Outlook calendars out of sync with their mobile devices. Schedules that were supposed to automatically update did not. Members complained that they were late for meetings or missed appointments altogether.
"This is not a matter of personal convenience. It's a matter of Montgomery County business," said Council President Craig Rice (D-Upcounty), another one of the candidates in the June primary.
"I am totally dependent on my calendar to tell me where I have to be and when. Without it, I am totally lost," said council member Roger Berliner (D-Potomac-Bethesda), who is running as well.
To underscore the desperate nature of his situation, he added: "I am now having my staff print out and fax me my calendar!"
Segal's explanation seemed to boil down to this: the department didn't have the fix cost of $4 million , and was reluctant to ask for the money. Officials eventually managed to scrounge up $1 million to help convert to a cloud-based system. But they decided to focus on sending out the 2014 property tax bills first.
In eight to 10 weeks, Segal said, everything would begin to "migrate to the cloud."
For council members, this was not the right answer.
"I know that for the county executive and the nine of us, there is no time more crucial than the next eight to 10 weeks," said Leventhal.
At that point Hughes, tired of watching Segal getting hammered, intervened (2:47:32). She said that county staff had made a judgement call to give the tax bills priority.
" I don't think you would have wanted to see the risk of . . ."
Rice broke in to admonish Hughes: "I' d ask that you not assume what this council would have done. . ."
"Well, okay. Let me rephrase it," Hughes said. "The CAO [chief administrative officer Tim Firestine] did not want to put at risk the tax assessment system in order to ensure that the tax bills went out correctly and on time. . ."
Leventhal said he'd raised the calendar problem privately a month ago. "I did not want to bring this up in public session," he said, wanting to avoid what he called "this long, drawn-out expression of intense frustration and disappointment."
Then he turned to the subject of Hughes' body language (2:51:47), which was followed by this exchange with Hughes and Segal:
Leventhal: "Is it correct that we are operating on a 2003 platform? Are we using Microsoft Office 2003? Yes or no?"
Hughes: "If I can. . ."
Leventhal [tone rising] "Yes or no?"
Hughes: "If I can first.."
Leventhal: Could I ask my question Ms. Hughes? I have the floor Ms. Hughes! I have the floor! Are we operating on Microsoft 2003? Yes or no?"
Segal: "Yes"
Leventhal: "Thank you. What year is this? What year is it? What year is it?"
Segal: "2014."
Leventhal: "Thank you. Now, Ms. Hughes, was there something you wanted to say?"
Hughes [tremors of anger in her voice] "Yes, actually there was. I don't think you should make assumptions about what I mean with my body language. I find it insulting and unnecessary."
Leventhal: "Thank you. Okay. That's great."
At which point Rice said it was time to move on.
Leventhal conceded Monday that he comes off as having a short fuse. "I know I have a reputation for being aggressive or lacking people skills," he said. But he added that had not intended for the exchange to become a personal confrontation with Hughes.
"I just wish we had mobile devices," he said.

text: Deadly legacy of war Unexploded US cluster bombs continue to kill and maim residents of Indochina. 09 Aug 2007 12:03 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, United States Unexploded US cluster bombs continue to kill and maim 101 East examines a deadly legacy of a war that ended 30 years ago. In Laos, unexploded ordinance (UXO) continue to kill and maim. During the Indochina conflict from 1964 to 1973, the US military dropped more bombs on Laos than it did during the Second World War. Many of these weapons were cluster bombs, and up to a third of them failed to explode. In neighbouring Cambodia, unexploded cluster weapons have replaced land mines as the biggest threat to farmers and inquisitive children.Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and anti-UXO activist Rae McGrath tells 101 East's Teymoor Nabili that cluster bombs should be banned. Prominent US military analyst John Pike counters that such weapons still have their place in modern warfare, and that it is unfortunate but inevitable that citizens suffer in any armed conflict. Cambodian correspondent Puy Kea talks about efforts to rid the dangerous scourge from his own country.
