I couldn't help myself. The Horde at Ace of Spades revel in firsties.
Remember when Fatass began banning Lizards for firsties? What a dick.
I think you meant "what dick?"
Finally a new post. Let's discuss bicycle oil.
I think Peter Strzok ought to be covered in bicycle oil and inserted into Hillary Clinton.
Oh, and I only propose punishments in accordance with the highest Constitutional and humane standards.
It's viscous.
They have us beat all to hell with their chants. 😆
Let's pretend, let's pretend
Let's pretend we won the election!
"My body is totally drunken,
My body can't hold in its pee-e-e.
My body was s'posed to be Pres'dent (HIC),
Somebody named Huma's on ME-E-E-E-E!"
Btw, is there anything more attractive than an older guy with no shirt on, and an umbilical hernia sticking out? I can't think of anything right now.
Oh yeah. Just noticed that. My BIL sports an outie with pride.
So this is supposed to be to the tune of My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean, right?. God, remember that? I never knew WTF that meant. Still don't. I know I should.
Umbilical hernias are not pretty, unless you live North of the Arctic Snorkle.
In case you haven't been keeping up with the PC Police, Monty Python is now classified as sexist, racist and rude. Double-plus ungood, too. Adjust your minds to this new reality. 😆
Even Thomas The Train Engine has been shunted off the PBS tracks. The world's gone completely insane in a way the liberal, free-thinking Python gang could have never comprehended, back in their day.
Chucks obsession with dicks and click-bait continues unabated.
I'm glad they let Stormy go. Poor baby. I know she's a porn cow but God bless her she didn't count on all this happening. Just let her go. She's just trying to make a living the only way she knows how. She is awfully pretty right in the face. If a little hard ridden. 🙂

Says the retard who evidently thinks this is his best pic ever. Which is the last official pic of him where he's not hugely obese, pockmarked and sadly pasty and gross.
It is a safe bet he was pockmarked when that picture was taken, I am betting a combination spackling and photoshop are involved.
He looks extremely dickish in that photo, too. 😆
The best thing about smug imbeciles like Chuck is that they are the smug imbeciles they look like.
That photo creeps me right out. He's stalking little innocent somethings, and they're all named Pamela.
Wow Dezez157. That was like a truism or something.
Poor Peter Strzok.
Poor, poor Peter.
Is he in custody?
Is he under investigation?
Has he been fired?
Has he been financially ruined by a seemingly endless pursuit of anything?
The answer to all the above is NO.
Hell, I don't even know if he's been divorced over his slimy affair.
He's assuredly not a witch, whatever you think that is. What he is is a smug, smarmy, self-confident co-conspirator in the worst Federal scandal in history. If he is not covered in tar and feathers at the moment, he's ahead of the game by all accounts.
Manafort's in custody while the DoJ ruins his life in an attempt to pull off their failing soft coup against the ELECTED President.
Which is where this weasel and all his co-conspirators belong.
And (pay attention to this part, you grease-laden balloon of skin) the country is paying attention.
He perfectly demonstrates the Peter Principal.
The Peter principle is a concept in management developed by Laurence J. Peter, which observes that people in a hierarchy tend to rise to their "level of incompetence". In other words, an employee is promoted based on their success in previous jobs until they reach a level at which they are no longer competent, as skills in one job do not necessarily translate to another. The concept was elucidated in the 1969 book The Peter Principle by Peter and Raymond Hull.[1]
I mean principle.
The Pecker Postulate. The guy's so smarmy, slimey, grinning and lying and daring anyone to come get him. He's got a magic weasel in his pocket.
The dim-bulb Dhimmi yesterday who told Strzok he deserved a Purple Heart. 😆
We know you won't show your fat cratered face in public Chucky.
The Committee asked questions. The Weasel dodged. They asked more questions. The Weasel's supporters started barking. They asked more questions and the most brilliant mind on the Democrat side of the aisle, Sheila Jackson Lee, spoke up. Had something to do about the Mars Rover.
"And this is how you get Trump." 😆
Can't wait for the mid-terms, now. This should be a bellwether election.

No we were thinking you sound like a moron.
No Chunk this is a monster truck. This is where proper American children are and where we put the illegal kids until their parents come back to show up for court. It's the American way. Love it or leave it Fatso. If their parents don't come back the kids grow up to be monstrous Trump loving Nazi fuckers who come to live under your bed. Suck ass and die fucker. Oh I mean KINDLY suck ass and die if you could see your way FUCKER. 🙂 LOL!!!!
Nice command of the English language there, simpleton….
The way that twitter question is written is all wrong. "But what do I know, a mere simpleton?" So Charles, apparently, you know a simpleton? Tell us more!
How about…"But I, a mere simpleton, what do I know?" Now it is understandable.
But we do know you are a simpleton with a badass GED and not a whole lot more but your gaping mouthed sniffing, head-tilted-back arrogance.
Fuck you halfwit.
I watched a video today that explained the main difference between Neanderthals and we wise assed MFers aka Homo Sapiens. It may have partially been due to the fact that our voice box is longer and descends lower. This allows for a larger resonating space and to enunciate and articulate much more clearly. We know Neanderthals didn't make anything other than rudimentary tools and the dumbest of what only someone could charitably call "art". It seems this might have been the crucial difference. Speech means sharing information in large chunks. Evolution rewarded those who paid attention and could store that info driving up brain development, organization and size. I noted to my wife that the big eye brow ridges went away with our kind. Because someone finally had the brilliant idea not to bash people in the face. And you might do better to shake that guy or lady's hand and see what kind of hunting or gardening tips they have. Information. More powerful than brute force.
The next show (I'm watching YouTube on my Firestick – I have cable, a Roku 3 and an Amazon Firestick – so there, aren't I fancy? :). ) Talks about the rivalry between Homo Erectus and We-Uns – the smartest dummies :)). They think around 75k years ago there was a horrendous volcanic eruption. Like a hundred times worse than Krakatoa or Mt. St. Helens.. Anybody who drank water was poisoned because of acid rain They think humans figured this out and found clean water supplies and explained it to each other. And no HE couldn't speak either. Great powerful hunters but without the power of language could not continue.
Still these answers to me just create more questions. Why didn't the other hominids and even other animals stand upright, lose their hair (which allowed cooling during a hunt) and get expanded glottal features in order to speak?. It's clearly the most powerful survival feature ever in natural history. Not just human history. Language, information sharing and storage, a natural logical computer…. We win the game hands down. It's why people wonder if there's a God. Because we're like Gods in a way. Gods that suffer and die. I just saved six tomato plants tonight. My wife likes to buy them and then leave them to die because she's too busy. But I save them. Yay me. I guess I'm a God. LOL!
I just had a coughing fit where I almost thought I was going to die. Not really but it was a violent bout. I breathed in some of my own spit. According to the anthropologist on the show I watched this is the trade off. Other hominids don't have this choking risk, but we do still due to our larger space and longer voice box situation. It's a trade off that pays off big time. A small price to pay given what we gain over the entire universe of other organisms.
When I said hominids I probably should have said primates.
I love the subject of evolution, too. It's fascinating, and DNA research is bringing us new information every day.
Here's the first one I watched:
I can't find the other one but on my Firestick/ YouTube it comes up next. So good luck. I know any idiot like me can search this stuff when they have time to but I find it so intriguing and I really think this information gives valuable insight why we act and think the way we do.
I lied. The one was called BATTLE FOR EARTH (Homo Erectus vs Homo Sapiens). https://youtu.be/ZF5nQN5Ekp8
How cool is that?? It's a rhetorical question. Don't answer.
Yes Chuck, we are sure the Colombian drug cartels are taking marching orders from Trump, How can you be that stupid and still remember to breath?
The guy whose job was photographing the Unicorn Messiah in various flattering poses, who literally jerked off to him daily for 8 years, and now spends all his time finding bad photos of Trump to "shade" by putting them next to his dreamboat's sexy pics and tweeting them out constantly — this is the picture book Chunky desires for his coffee table!
I have learnt nothing – nothing – about bicycle oil reading through this thread.
If not here, then where?
This makes me question the very existence of this blog.
Well, I think you're just not trying.
Oh wait I said that out loud. Um….
Er when I was in seventh grade I had one of these. Oh hell ya. There was no oil involved. In fact I think you made this whole thing up. But it's cool.
We called those "Apache". Same in US?
Nope. You can see clearly it's an "Orange Krate".
Oh yah. Points. Very similar beed.
Not the same. Our bikes were collectively known as "Stingrays," and the Yer-A-Pee'in' model looks like a newspaper bike with a clunky seat and weird handlebars.
Octo's right, of course. But I gave points anyway in the spirit of NATO cooperation.
This shit was good.
OK things have gotten crazy here. But not scary.
This is what happens when you try to come up with better bicycle oil.
Coolest motorcycle ever made:
It would kill you, or at the very least severely sever your legs, but by Buddha, what a stylish piece of machinery.
The 1952 Vincent Black Lightning.
Heheh — I was about to post that song, when I scrolled down and saw you already did do. GREAT SONG! I'm not an expert on motorcycles, but I'd want one with a soul, if my wife was going to let me kill myself on one.
This is so good you'll cry. This was part of our sound track in the late seventies. The false starts at the beginning are funny. Not pathetic like Chunko Fatso.
It makes me think of skateboard trucks, and german ball bearings, and the Dogtown boys and fisheye lenses and the Aja album cover and Chicago (the group) and working as a busboy. And a whole lot of sexual tension. LOL!
And this. I discovered Jazz around this time.
That's where you lost me. Jazz-rock fusion. I like rock-rock fusion. 😆
Ha ha! Yah I knew I'd lose you there. Can't pleeze everyone!
Todd Rundgren was underrated. He resurrected the careers of a lot of other musicians, including Smokey Robinson and James Cotton.
Gave Grand Funk Railroad their biggest hit, too:
OMFG! That's the same face Chunky made, in his "coy coquette"-phase. 😆
I love how he said "web design techniques". Like that shit matters now that everyone's website is whore-ified by disgusting gauche ads. Just another thing he predicted wrong.
Imagine, if you will, how bloated that head is by now. 😯
That's pretty unanimous. 😆
Chunky, you've been surpassed. But don't give up!
Any bets that @Steve_Remainer deletes his poll before the voting deadline?

Ah maht bring muh banjo. 🙂

I can't look at Twitter while on this machine. That's my private hell. I have to go use my I-am-an I-diot -Pad to see it. Then I can't copy anything to here properly because Apple doesn't want me to. They're very mad that I would ever consider using apps that aren't proprietary to them.
But I can see the funny responses. Like the one from Irish John HSS which shows a Simpson's character with his finger up his nose saying "I HATE THE PRESIDENT BECAUSE MY T.V. TOLD ME TO".
'Nuff said.
So in case you wanted to know I'm watching a show on YouTube right now called When Insects First Flew. There's a real cute pretty gurl with a long braided pony tail (and nice hips) explaining it all. It's pretty kewl.
And what's even crazier is we don't have this all sorted out by now. Scientists are still arguing about…… Well just watch the show. Ts'good. I'm no expert. LOL!
For some reason I was reminded of the time many years ago now my two yr old (then – she's 19 now) daughter walked up behind me (unbeknownst) while I was looking at Stormy Daniels-type broads/gurls on my computer (which had a monitor a foot and half deep). I had my pants on so don't worry. And she said so innocently "Is she pretty?". After fumbling and flumoxing and disconnecting the power supply I said……OK I lied. "That's just some lady in an ad. You get back to sleep now Hunnybun" I actually LIED to a two yr old. LOL. I'm going to the bad place if there is one.
I think you're okay, man. Lying to small children is just a part of life. They really don't need or want to know. 😆
This is just wonderful. The eloquence! The smell of tear-gas, in the morning. The dulcet tones of tasers. Ah, Life! 🙂
Starbucks steps in it, again. 😆
Do you know "Muscle Barbie?" I think she'd make the perfect frontier wife. I mean, she could pull the plow, not to mention the covered wagon. 🙂
…and the train. 🙂
Whoa! Don't let her hear you say that! 😯
(Barbie Smash!)
If there were ever any doubt, but now that I'm old and fat and frail this chick could SERIOUSLY KICK MY ASS. But she looks pretty cool. I might still make a pass and take the risk. LOL. No not really.
I feel like she could really hurt me by accident, should we engage in any kind of romantic clinch. She doesn't know her own strength. Imagine if she got those thighs around your middle, or your head, and squeezed… 😯
Don't mess with the Donald, unless you want your ass handed to you. SCHADENSCHWING!! 😆
I know. Even when he's not trying to crush some idiot opponent they still somehow get Karma-burned. Most people who are mouthy are also fools. Our Donald is the former, but not the latter. A rare trait that I've only seen in sr. exec types who go to battle every day. You don't see it in Hollyweird queer-0 types or yer run of the mill pols who are usually just one acting gig or election away from taking that car salesman job. They seem to have an abundant talent for shooting their big toes off.
So now Mueller has identified the Russian military as having hacked the DNC, the Hillary campaign etc. But not a word on the illegal homegrown server in Hillary's basement….
– of course.
And this all happened under Obungle and the would be Preezydunce Shrillbeast's watch. Even her pal Comey called her grossly negligient….er I mean so dumb and clueless about classified information she couldn't possibly be criminal. It was that she completely didn't give a shit. So yah let's give her the nuclear codes.
The balloon was a bust– after being billed as this enormous statement that would fly over London, shaming Trump and humiliating his followers, it turned out to be a small trivial affair that could barely raise above the "usual pack of protesters who come out and protest everything in London." 😆
Looks like the pantomime Donald is scraping his junk on their dumb heads.
Ha. This crooked liar who was involved in the DNC cheating and defended a Pakistani Muslim team of data thieves who've mostly fled or tried to flee the country kinda says it all.
Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who served as chairman of the Democratic National Committee during the time period, took aim at Trump in a statement.
"I'm pleased that the Justice Department is following the facts wherever they may lead, despite Donald Trump's dangerous distortions and his refusal to acknowledge the conclusions reached by the American intelligence community," she said.
Rothstein is at best a feckless tool. At worst yet another crook working for the Swampsters.
Arg. What happa to my blockquotes?

And aren't these the same Russians who WANTED a trial and Mueller declined? And this is the same thing Obungle already brought up with Putin whom the latter laughted at. His response to the dimbulb Me-Again Kelly was something like OK you say you have these Russian criminals who are they? Can you name one? Then they couldn't. Now they can indict them but not show them the evidence. Obviously Swampster muck. Nothing more.
I just made a new word "laughted".
I like it. I'm going to start using it. I laughted when I saw Chunky tweet this nonsense, just now:
Renewable energy is good opium for the libturd pipe. 😆
LOL! Indeed!!!
The indictments Rod Rosenstein announced are good news for all Americans. The Russians are nailed. No Americans are involved. Time for Mueller to end this pursuit of the President and say President Trump is completely innocent.

From the time Chuck rolls his fat ass off the mattress till the time he rolls back on to it, he tries to see just how nasty he can be on Twitter every damn day.
He spams his pathetic screeds to drive traffic to one of the most vile websites on the interwebs.
And yet here he is still thinking every social media site that he infests should bow to his definition of free speech and who should be allowed to have it.
I am not sure if Chuck is a sociopath or a psychopath, but I am certain he has no idea how to fit into a civilized society.
On or about July 27, 2016, the Conspirators attempted after hours to spearphish for the first time email accounts at a domain hosted by a third-party provider and used by Clinton's personal office. At or around the same time, they also targeted seventy-six email addresses at the domain for the Clinton Campaign."

And by this point the idiot Shrillbeast had already mishandled classified emails at her home, at Huma's house and in her car (she had to burn printed communications), with the maid printing her classified emails, on Weiny's laptop and deleted 10s of thousands of emails to hide her corruption. Gosh why can't she be our Preezydunce? I could just see her now asking for the code of the nuclear football to be emailed to her Buttberry because she's too hung over to come into the office.
Here she is with the fricking press corps standing behind her on their phones while she's deleting….I mean checking emails. Lucky for her they're all a crooks too.
She's got her hangover glasses on. 😆
Real clever Pedosta.
On Friday, Podesta said he couldn't say whether or not the hack was responsible for Hillary Clinton's loss in the 2016 election
Uh…because he was responsible for Shrillary Rotten Clinton's loss. That is for mismanaging an admittedly terrible candidate, but still with a huge guaranteed base. And still the little shit turd goes all mouthy.
I have it from an anonymous source that Chuck used a Shop-Vac to empty the zits on his face.
Remember when Chunky was all about St. Pancake? 😆
Watched that vid of the Occupy Ice dweebs in Portland again — such intelligence! Such eloquence! Such Antifag! 😆
CNN: "Thousands of protesters throng London streets to protest Trump!" 😆
As the London broadcaster said, "The same people who turn up to protest EVERYTHING in London."
Good parenting! 🙂
Chunky steadfastly retweeting the "Russian Collusion" glurge, despite witch-hunt leader's insistence there is NO EVIDENCE OF ANY SUCH THING!!1! 😆

Time to take them seriously as a couple, I guess. 😦 (j/k)
They're kind of a cute goofy looking couple. I'm happy for them.
Alrighty then! Who's excited about teh World Cup? Yugoslavia 2.0 for the win!
Not just because France sucks but because France sucks.
I'll be watching golf/Cubs but will check on the midgets rolling around on the pitch like, well, Frenchmen.

My girl Serena took it in the shorts yesterday, too. Today, I wanted the tall dude to hammer on Joker, and of course it was over in three sets. My teams don't win anymore. I think I'm going to start rooting for the Yankees, just to make sure they don't go anywhere.
If the losing in sports is payback for all the schadenschwing I've been enjoying with Trump's presidency, I'm fine with the trade-off. For now.
Both tennis surprises although not really. Kerber's been knocking at the door and Serena was still in comeback mode. And let's be realistic. I'm always in the corner for the Williams sisters but Venus is 38 and Serena is 36. Chrissie could see it from the beginning, Serena looked flat, wasn't getting into position, etc… I was stunned to hear about Jokey because he's really struggled with his come back. I think most were thinking Nadal or Roger on grass but the big doofus pulled it out. My daughter's Mexican boyfriend was pissed. He's a huge Rafa fan.

"Well, I think we have a lot of foes. I think the European Union is a foe, what they do to us in trade. Now, you wouldn't think of the European Union, but they're a foe. Russia is foe in certain respects. China is a foe economically, certainly they are a foe. But that doesn't mean they are bad. It doesn't mean anything. It means that they are competitive," Mr. Trump said at his golf club in Turnberry, Scotland.
Trump on Putin meeting: "I go in with low expectations"
"I respect the leaders of those countries. But, in a trade sense, they've really taken advantage of us and many of those countries are in NATO and they weren't paying their bills," he added.
On Sunday, British Prime Minister Theresa May told the BBC that Mr. Trump had encouraged her to "sue the EU" rather than negotiate over the U.K.'s departure from the bloc. May's conservative government is deeply split over her handling of Brexit, and her hold on power was further weakened by Mr. Trump's comments to a British tabloid that her approach had likely "killed" any chance of a new trade deal with the U.S. once Brexit is complete. (Mr. Trump tried to walk back his criticism in a joint press conference on Friday.)
We've been needing this for a long time. These diplomats and putzy pols have been hiding behind their flowery BS language for too long. It was a great ruse and tool for misdirection and sheeple herding for a long time but frankly it's grown old and ineffective. Trump's merely pointing that out. Portrayed as the proverbial "Bull in a china shop" he's actually more like the boy who pointed out "I can see the emperors dick!". LOL! And anyway, this isn't even news. He's been saying this to anyone who'll listen for years.

I hear the good folks in N'Awlins are unhappy with the Brad Pitt Construction Co. Seems he split town, once the media went away. Dang…who could have predicted that? 😆
Same problems happened with Jimmah's "Habitat For Humanity." The problems were three-fold. All the labor and materials were donated, so everything was done on the cheap. The housing was falling apart within years, and the beneficiaries wouldn't take care of the freebees because they had no investment.
The worst part was that construction jobs were taken away from local labor, who couldn't compete against companies willing to build houses for free, and the local materials suppliers ate it as well.
So much for socialism.
I just wish people were more sensitive about Social Justice issues.
For protection women should fight. And hate gunz which killz the peeplz.
Why are conservatives so judgemental???
Here's a terrifying incident where a white privileged male terrorized a store. First using civility and politeness which is a white privilege tool of oppression and then out right threatening everyone with clear white devil micro-agressions. Thankfully he was properly disposed of in the end. Let this be a lesson to us all.
It's like they're not even listening when you place your order.
Chunky was tickled pink at this fake news about the princelings snubbing Trump. 😆
Of course, there was no reason for the whole royal in-bred family to be glad-handing a real, elected leader like our President. Plus, William was afraid Trump would grab his lady fair by the "fanny," and possibly have coitus with her. Charles had some houseplants back home that needed a good talking-to, for being sarcastic towards Camilla. Neighing behind her back, they were.
Prince William and Prince Charles refused to meet Donald Trump

It's really hard to believe and one wonders how many takes it took. I wonder if the fantastic Debra Wilson is the instigator of these types of super technical linquistic skits. Because she was in both this and the previous fast food skit. Or maybe they just all push each other to the limits and relish the absurdity and challenge of pretending like it isn't difficult.
But absurdly long names are real. And this British CNN weatherman pulls off a Welsh town name with grace and without batting an eye. Although I did notice a click of the heels just short of a wink. Well done!

Endometriosis symptoms can vary greatly from one person to the next. Symptoms can be severe while the endometriosis itself is mild. Mild symptoms can be present or even undetectable and endometriosis can be very advanced. The endometriosis symptoms you experience could have no correlation at all to the extent or severity of the endometriosis itself.
Endometriosis tissue is much like the lining of your uterus. It reacts hormonally the same as the uterine lining. It grows and sheds along with your menstrual cycle. It is widely believed that in some cases, when the uterine lining is shed, it does not leave the body as it is supposed to. Instead, it travels up the fallopian tubes and into the abdominal cavity. Here, it infests the reproductive organs, surrounding tissues and even the nearby organs.
Endometriosis is a progressive disease and can get worse over time. It can spread to the lower back, bowels, kidneys, lungs and other organs, inhibiting organ function. This is why it is particularly important to treat endometriosis even if you do not have infertility concerns.
Symptoms can be mild or severe. They include heavy, painful or irregular periods. Lower back pain and kidney problems are also not uncommon. Many women are not diagnosed with endometriosis until they experience infertility. Endometriosis is usually discovered during a diagnostic laparoscopic surgery while an infertility specialist is looking for infertility causes. A laparoscopic endometriosis treatment may be necessary to restore fertility. Laparoscopy is the only way to definitively diagnose endometriosis.
Endometriosis severity is measured in stages. Stage 1 is referred to as minimal endometriosis and may or may not have an effect on fertility. Stage 1 endometriosis is usually treated with medications unless you are trying to conceive. If you are having trouble conceiving, then even minimal amounts of endometrial implants and lesions may need to be surgically removed. Another reason to treat stage 1 endometriosis is because it is progressive and can lead to dangerous organ damage down the line.
Stage 2 endometriosis is mild, but more than just the occasional lesion or implant is visible. Stage 2 endometriosis usually means that at least one of the ovaries has endometriosis present. This can lead to your fallopian tubes being blocked by scar tissues or the ovaries themselves being compromised by the present implants.
Stage 3 endometriosis is considered moderate. Stage 3 is used to describe endometriosis, usually on both ovaries as well as the uterus. Implants and lesions may be deeper and take up more area than stage 2 implants and lesions. Surgical treatment of stage 3 and stage 4 endometriosis historically has had the greatest impact on fertility associated with endometriosis.
Stage 4 is the most severe. Stage 4 is used to describe endometriosis that is prominent in the abdominal cavity. Stage 4 endometriosis can affect many surrounding organs and be very dangerous. This is the stage most commonly associated with infertility.
If you are experiencing any endometriosis symptoms and are having trouble conceiving, then you could have an advanced level of endometriosis. You should never ignore endometriosis symptoms or prolong treatment.

Electroencephalogram of EEG is a medical test that measures and records the neural activities in your brain. An EEG test can help diagnose multiple brain-related conditions such as sleep disorder, epilepsy,depression, Asperger's syndrome, anxiety and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In this process, two electrodes are attached to your head. These electrodes pick up your brain signals and transmit those to the polygraph.
Over here, we have discussed 10 facts about EEG that will help you get a clear picture:
1.EEG can only determine any changes in brain activity. It cannot detect mental illness.
2.EEG is also used to confirm brain death in case the person is in a coma. During medically induced coma, EEG is continuously used to find the right level of anesthesia.
3.You do not feel any discomfort during the EEG test. The electrodes attached to your head doesn't transmit any kind of sensation.
4.An abnormal EEG report doesn't mean that you suffer from any mental disorder. For instance, the EEG test reports of babies and children often record unusual patterns.
5.Before you go for an EEG test, thoroughly clean your hair. Do not apply any styling product as that won't let the electrodes be firmly attached to the scalp.
6.If you are suffering from any seizure disorder such as epilepsy, the technician triggers seizure through hyperventilation or by flashing lights.
7.Once the electrodes are attached to your head, the EEG test takes only an hour to complete. However, if you are required to sleep during the process, it might take several hours. The electrodes are attached using a special adhesive. Often, elastic caps fitted with electrodes are also used.
8.During the EEG test,the technician might ask you to open and close your eyes repeatedly. They might also ask you to perform a few mathematical calculation or read a paragraph.
9.If you are asked to breathe rapidly, you might feel a numbness in your fingers for a certain period. You might also feel lightheaded. Do not worry if it happens. It goes away once the process is over and your breathing normalise.
10.Along with your brain waves, your body motions are also captured using a video camera. The doctor studies both to diagnose your condition.
If you planning to undergo an EEG test, then you can get in touch with us. We use the most cutting-edge approach in improving our EEG tests so that early diagnosis of your psychological conditions is easy. To get in touch with us,please visit http://moneralo.com/contact-us/

On November 5th, Eastern got their first league victory of the season, when beating Yuen Long 0-3 away, with a goal from Jaimes Mckee and a brace from Michel Lugo. The Tangerines suffered their third league defeat in a row and dropped to seventh position after R&F's 2-1 win over Dreams earlier that day.
Aleksandr Kokko started for Eastern, as Manuel Bleda had to pause once again due to an injury, while Leung Chun-pong began ahead of Bai He in the defensive midfield. At the same time, Yuen Long were facing serious injury and suspension problem and were only able to field two of their foreign aids in the starting lineup.
Both sides played with caution in the first half and were reluctant to press forward. Eastern had a few attempts on goal from corners and set-pieces, the closest being Victor Saba's header in the 15th minute, which was cleared by Yuen Long defenders. Meanwhile the Tangerines relied heavily on Everton Camargo to produce chances, but his only breakthrough in the 19th minute was saved by Yapp Hung-fai from close range.
Eastern had a few more chances towards the end of the first half. At the 40th minute, Victor Saba's freekick was saved by Chan Ka-ho, and two minutes later, Kokko held up the ball in the penalty area and set up Saba for a shot at the edge of the box, but the Brazilian's attempt was well saved by Chan Ka-ho. Kokko had another chance from the left side of the box, but his shot went wide to the left side of the post. As a result, both teams returned to their dressing rooms with no goals scored in the first 45 minutes.
Eastern made a tactical substitution at the start of the second half, with Jaimes Mckee replacing Cheng King-ho, while moving Xu Deshuai to the right back position. Like the first half, Yuen Long basically only relied on Camargo to break the deadlock, but his freekick at the 47th minute and long shot from outside the box at the 58th minute both missed the target.
As the game progressed, Jaimes McKee's work rate and pace turned into a problem for Yuen Long's defense. Making it worse, Yuen Long captain Fabio was replaced by Yu Wai-lim because of injury, and the deadlock was finally broken at the 70th minute, when a Kokko cross found McKee who put it behind Chan Ka-ho to score his first goal of the season.
Yuen Long tried to react and pressed higher up the pitch. In addition, coach Tsang Chiu-tat put on Aleksandar Randelovic to get an equalizer, but no real chance was produced. Meanwhile, Mckee and Michel Lugo proved to be a continuous threat in the attack. Soon, Lugo's curling shot from outside the box extended Eastern's lead to two goals. Yuen Long defense was to be blamed, as no one was closing Lugo down at the edge of the box, allowing him all the time he needed to take the shot. Lugo got another goal to his name in the 90th minute, when Xu Deshuai's cross found the Brazilian unmarked at the far post, who then hit it past Chan Ka-ho.
As a result of their first win of the season, Eastern climbed to the ninth position in the league, while the Tangerines dropped to seventh.

One of the Indiana Conference's newest church plants–The Grove United Methodist Church–is getting ready to launch weekly public worship in January. Its pastor, Rev. Tony Johnson, needs your help. (See his message below.)
If you can attend the church's new worship services, they will be held each week at 10:30am. At the least, let's all keep this church and Tony in our prayers in the coming days and weeks. Pray that God will move in the hearts of many who are in need of a new church home and that they'll respond to The Grove's invitations! — Ed Fenstermacher
Message from Rev. Tony Johnson…
Hello friend.
I pray that this message finds you well. I will be completely straight forward with my request. I would like to ask you for your help. I am not asking for money…so rest easy.
As you know…Melissa and I moved to the south side of Indianapolis in February to start a new church called The Grove. God has been very good to us in our efforts and we know that He will continue to do so. Our official launch season begins on January 1st. We are launching throughout January with a series called "Start Over". We are so excited about this series and look forward to building positive momentum throughout the month. This is where I ask you for your help.
A large part of building momentum is simply having as many people in worship as possible in January. We are seeking to have 3 groups of people with us in worship. Group #1 are those people on our launch team. We have those. Group #2 are those who will be visiting The Grove as a guest. We will have them as well. Group #3 are those people we (myself and our launch team members) call friends. That is you.
My request is quite simple. Please join us in January for worship as often as you can. I am fully aware that some of you would have to travel a pretty good distance to worship with us so I understand if attending one time is all you can manage. We appreciate your support.
The Grove is reaching unchurched people for Jesus Christ and I never cease to be amazed at how He is using The Grove and the people at The Grove to further His name. On one level I am asking you to help me and my family start strong and establish security in our new community. On a greater level, I am asking you to be a part of starting a new church that will reach new people for Jesus Christ.
You can rest assured that every time you visit The Grove…you are building the Kingdom of God.
Please pay us a visit…or 5 throughout January and support this new movement of God in Center Grove/Greenwood, IN.
We need you to help ensure that The Grove starts strong. Please…no matter what your plans are…follow this link ( http://www.facebook.com/l/IAQHA6QVTAQEUBDKX6Zd4ZAqPmJ_QfhU-BWLTbYqLya_TUg/www.surveymonkey.com/s/RXYN3T2) and answer the simple 3 question survey. It will take you 2 short minutes (if that). Thank you for supporting The Grove and the movement of God on the south side of Indianapolis.
If you have any questions…please…by all means…email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or call me at 317-771-0664. I would be more than happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
Our worship location is Maple Grove Elementary: 3623 W Whiteland Rd, Bargersville, IN 46106.

According to the Chinese news agency Xinhua on Oct. 5, one fisherman was shot in the leg. Interestingly, Xinhua has put the article in their sports section. Perhaps they're taking their cue from former New York Times bureau chief Chris Hedges, who in an interview with NPR on Oct 30, 2001 noted the sportsmanlike conduct of Israeli forces in Gaza:
And it was--I mean, I've seen kids shot in Sarajevo. I mean, snipers would shoot kids in Sarajevo. I've seen death squads kill families in Algeria or El Salvador. But I'd never seen soldiers bait or taunt kids like this and then shoot them for sport. It was--I just--even now, I find it almost inconceivable. And I went back every day, and every day it was the same.Note from Mark Elf - every so often I post a post just above a post by a fellow poster, in this case Nedster. Apologies for the previous post that has necessitated the repeat of this post for those who don't read further than the latest post. Got that? Good!

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a wild, untamed and untapped landscape of uncharted possibilities where the first thing to do is just explore the possibilities out there.
An unknown land of uncharted future possibilities is how the software application developers building the IoT regard the road ahead.
So much is this the case that many of the programmers out there are happy to, "simply explore the technology without any specific use case in mind," according to VisionMobile's IoT developer segmentation report.
Hobbyists and IoT developers
Many of the self-confessed IoT developers tracked in this survey explain that their involvement in the new areas being explored comes about as a result of their 'hobbyist' developer work. As such, making money from the work they do is secondary to the compulsion to explore.
According to VisionMobile, respondents were asked to self-identify as mobile, desktop, IoT or cloud developers, or a combination of those.
"Over 12,000 developers indicated involvement the Internet of Things, out of which 4,400 were asked detailed questions on their role as IoT developers. Some 3,700 of them answered specific questions about open source usage. This group is the basis of our analysis throughout this report. We consider everyone who is involved in the production cycle of an IoT project to be an IoT developer, whether or not they are writing code," writes the firm.
Interestingly, analyst house Gartner has reflected the exploratory element of this theme by saying that there is great immaturity of devices and technologies in this space.
"A recurring theme in the IoT space is the immaturity of technologies and services and of the vendors providing them. Architecting for this immaturity and managing the risk it creates will be a key challenge for organizations exploiting the IoT. In many technology areas, lack of skills will also pose significant challenges," writes Gartner's Nick Jones.
Segments of IoT programming
VisionMobile says it has identified eight segments of IoT developers. Without purchasing the report to find out where the market analysis firm thinks things are broken down, Internet of Business can provide a rough reckoner on how the IoT programming market breaks down. Developers might distinguish themselves based on specialisms in:
- IoT analytics, big data and machine learning
- IoT security and threat detection
- IoT memory, processing and stream processing
- IoT programming language development and operating systems
- IoT low power devices
- IoT Wide Area Networking (WAN)
- IoT cloud connectivity and Input/Output (I/O) intelligence
- IoT groups, foundations and social communities
- IoT platforms and standards
- IoT firmware design
In reality, this list could easily be 20 subcategories long given the diversity of areas inside which IoT developers can concentrate their efforts.
The work to create the IoT is multifarious and multi-discipline and many professionals in this space are still just exploring. There is much to do.

Prophecy – 4/4/09
I enrich you in My ways only to be glorified that I Am the true and living God. Embrace Me and follow Me where I lead you and I will show you things to come. Many have traveled far and many have come along this path before you. Trust that I am able to extend My hand and help you as well.
The times that are to follow the very days you are spending now will absorb the fun and laughter from the earth. Truly trying and hard times will settle upon the land, the land that I love and upon the people I love. These times aren't times of wrath nor are they meant to harm my chosen ones. These times are a time of sobriety and deciphering the mystery of My meaning in your life. You will have to discover where I fit in and where I Am allowed to grow you and prepare all of your being.
Thump ,Thump, Thump is the sound of My steps walking into your life, your home, your presence just as I walked in the garden with Adam so will I once again walk with man. You will see it, you will hear it, and I will walk with you if you will let Me.
Open the doors and I will come in for truly I stand at the door and knock. I stand waiting for you to open your lives to Me.
-Your Father-
My wife had a dream a few days ago where her son saw and then said, "Ghost", while standing in the hallway of our home. The hallway is where we believe the portal is located in our house. Then my wife saw in the same dream a foot step into the hallway.
Recently while on vacation, a dear family member that hears and sees the things of God shared with me that when she was a little girl growing up in a home where her parents argued allot and physical and sexual abuse was on going by her father. She was awakened one night during an extreme argument between her parents. She went to the bedroom door to peak out into the living area where her parents were arguing and suddenly saw a huge sandal step into the room. It filled the room. She knew it was from God but she didn't know what it meant since things didn't really change around the home until sometime later.
I believe the word that God is revealing in this prophecy is that He will be right there with us through all the difficult things to come upon the earth and into our lives. He was there in the past during trying and hopeless times as well. But now is the time that He is establishing a new and more powerful manifestation of His presence with His faithful ones.
The Jewish Passover is about to begin on April 9 of this month and I strongly feel that during this appointed festival of the Lord that we will begin to see and sense more of the presence of God in our homes and throughout our daily walk with him.
The day I was leaving for vacation during quiet time the Holy Spirit illuminated Hosea 12:9-10 to me. The last part verse 9 in Hosea 12 it says, "As in the days of the appointed festival. And in verse 10 "I have also spoken to the prophets, And I gave numerous visions, And through the prophets I gave parables."
This is a special time to avail yourself to the Lord during these special days and see if the Lord will not manifest Himself to you in a greater way. Pay attention to your dreams, journal the things He shows you and most of all pursue Him as a lover! Worship Him and be thankful for His presence in your life. For we me trust Him with ours ever the more in the days ahead.
Bro. Bill

Many women born with a high hair line of have an M-pattern (male pattern hair line in a women) hair line are good candidates for hair transplant surgery. Hair line lowering by transplantation is often a better choice than forehead reduction surgery. In both hairline lowering and repair of m-pattern hair line with hair transplantation artistry of design, recipient site angles and proper handling of grafts are all important in achieving results that you can be proud of.
Female Pattern Balding
A hair follicle sits about 4-6 mm under the skin with a hair protruding through the skin. At any given time about 4% of hair follicles are in a dormant or resting phase called telogen phase of the hair growth cycle. In both male and female pattern balding the hair follicle shrinks over time, resulting in shorter and finer hair and will result in a very fine vellous hair that can only be seen on close examination of the scalp. The follicle at this point will not regrow a normal terminal hair.
The reason for female pattern baldness is not as well understood as with male pattern balding, but may be related to or aggravated by:
- Aging
- Changes in the levels of male hormones (women before menopause have circulating levels of testosterone). After reaching menopause, some women find that the hair on their head is thinner and experience facial hair growth.
- Family history of male or female pattern baldness.
Hair thinning in women is different from that of male pattern balding. In female pattern balding:
- Hair thins mainly on the top and crown of the scalp and sometimes on the anterior part of the side of the head. Most often we see a widening through the center top of the head.
- Not all hair in an area will fall out completely as in male pattern balding. The front hairline remains at the same level.
- Hair loss rarely progresses to total baldness.
- Itching or skin sores on the scalp are generally not seen.
Female pattern baldness is usually diagnosed based on:
- Ruling out other causes of hair loss.
- The appearance and pattern of hair loss.
- Medical history. How fast you are losing hair, family history, etc.
The doctor will examine you for other signs of too much male hormone (androgen), such as:
- Abnormal new hair growth, such as on the face or between the belly button and pubic area.
- Changes in menstrual periods and enlargement of the clitoris.
- New acne.
A skin biopsy may be necessary and your doctor may order blood tests may be used to diagnose skin disorders or discover conditions that will aggravate or cause hair loss. Untreated Hypothyroidism and low iron are 2 conditions that will aggravate hair loss and should be tested for.
Female pattern balding is permanent, if not treated. In most cases, hair loss is mild to moderate. You do not need medical or surgical treatment if you are comfortable with your appearance.
The only medication approved by the United States FDA to treat female pattern balding is minoxidil:
- It is applied to the scalp.
- Minoxidil (Rogaine) may help hair grow in about 1 in 5 of women. In many women, it may slow or stop hair loss.
- You must continue to use this medicine for a long time. Hair loss starts again when you stop using it.
If minoxidil does not work, your doctor may recommend other medications. Your doctor can tell you more about these if needed. Once you have been diagnosed with Female Pattern Balding your family doctor or dermatologist may refer you to see if you are a candidate for hair transplant surgery. Determining whether or not you are a candidate for hair restoration surgery will be based on the adequacy of your donor hair in the back of your head. If you are a good candidate the results are excellent and permanent if performed by a qualified full time hair restoration surgeon.
Hair Loss investigation in Women
Please see your family doctor or dermatologist for investigation and diagnosis.
Begin your investigation with your family doctor or dermatologist. Never see a "hair transplant business" that has you see a salesperson to try and sell you a hair transplant. You owe yourself a proper investigation to know the diagnosis. Dr. Goertz appreciates his referrals from family doctors, dermatologists and plastic surgeons of patients who have been investigated and referred for hair transplantation when indicated. Many causes of hair loss are amenable to medical therapy and hair transplant is not needed.
Hair loss in a woman can be devastating. It should always be investigated. Start with your family doctor or dermatologist. Acute hair loss can be secondary to multiple conditions and causes including but not limited to telogen effluvium (stress hair loss), alopecia areata, medications, etc. Chronic hair loss may be due to low iron as a result of menorrhagia (heavy periods), hypothyroidism, nutritional issues resulting in low protein, diffuse alopecia areata, cicatricial alopecia and female pattern balding. A full history and examination of your scalp with appropriate blood testing is important for a correct diagnosis. Family doctors and dermatologists are well equipped to begin investigations of hair loss and treatment and referral to a qualified hair transplant surgeon, if needed.

You need not suffer in silence. You can achieve wonderful results!

Bankruptcy Court Rejects Involuntary Chapter 11 for CDO
A bankruptcy case is usually commenced by the debtor, but the Bankruptcy Code permits creditors to seek to place a debtor into bankruptcy involuntarily, where certain statutory conditions are met. Recently, the bankruptcy court for the Southern District of New York rejected an attempt by certain creditors (the "Petitioning Creditors") to place a financing vehicle known as a collateralized debt obligation, or CDO, into involuntary chapter 11 bankruptcy. See Taberna Preferred Funding IV, Ltd. v. Opportunities Fund II Ltd., et al. (In re Taberna Preferred Funding IV, Ltd.), No. 17-11628 (MKV), 2018 WL 5880918 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Nov. 8, 2018).
The Petitioning Creditors held senior notes issued by Taberna, which the court found were nonrecourse (i.e., the Petitioning Creditors had agreed to look solely to the collateral securing their notes). Taberna and certain junior noteholders sought dismissal of the petition on a number of grounds. The court addressed one of these grounds, that the Petitioning Creditors, as nonrecourse claimants, did not hold claims against Taberna as required under Section 303 of the Bankruptcy Code. Additionally, pursuant to Wilk Auslander LLP v. Murray (In re Murray), 900 F.3d 53 (2d Cir. 2018), the bankruptcy court issued an order to show cause on whether it should dismiss the Taberna petition for cause under Section 1112(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. The court ruled against the Petitioning Creditors on both grounds.
First, the court concluded that the Petitioning Creditors, as nonrecourse claimants, were not eligible to file the involuntary petition, because Section 303(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code permits an involuntary petition to be filed against a person by a "holder of a claim against such person." The court concluded that the notes held by Petitioning Creditors were nonrecourse, and Taberna had no personal liability for the notes.
The Petitioning Creditors relied on two provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to argue that the recourse/nonrecourse distinction was irrelevant for purposes of Section 303. First, Section 102(2) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that the phrase "claim against the debtor" in the Bankruptcy Code includes a claim against property of the debtor. Second, Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that a secured claim is generally allowed or disallowed in chapter 11 as if the holder had recourse to the debtor. The court concluded that neither section applied. Section 303(b) uses the phrase "claim against such person," so Section 101(2)'s guidance on the meaning of the phrase "claim against the debtor" was inapplicable. The issues arising from Section 1111 regarding allowance and secured status of a claim inhere in the chapter 11 process itself, and do not apply to the question of whether a company should be placed into chapter 11 in the first place.
Second, the court ruled that even if the Petitioning Creditors were eligible under Section 303(b), the case should be dismissed for cause pursuant to Section 1112. The court concluded that "cause" is a fact-specific inquiry that can consider whether the filing is an appropriate use of the Bankruptcy Code. Thus, a petition that seeks to benefit all creditors by creating or preserving value and ensuring equal distribution to creditors is consistent with the objectives of chapter 11. Here, in contrast, the court concluded that the purpose of the filing was to liquidate the collateral solely for the benefit of the Petitioning Creditors, in contravention of the indenture and at the expense of other noteholders. Taberna was a financing vehicle that held securities for the purpose of generating cash flow to pay noteholders in accordance with the indenture. It did not have any operating business to rehabilitate in chapter 11. The filing of the petition followed extensive efforts by the Petitioning Creditors to liquidate their collateral, which were unsuccessful outside of bankruptcy because of bargained-for limitations in the indenture (which set forth a process for management and liquidation of the remaining portfolio and distribution of losses among the noteholders).
Far from a legitimate attempt to rehabilitate the debtor, the court concluded, the case was "nothing more than a last-ditch effort by a senior sophisticated noteholder to further its personal, tactical and pecuniary aims and to coerce redemption of its notes to the detriment of junior creditors." Taberna, 2018 WL 5880918 at *22 (emphasis in original). If these "tactics were permitted and rewarded with an entry of an order for relief, this would create significant uncertainty across the capital markets." Id. at *23.
While the Section 303 statutory analysis in Taberna is interesting, the greater impact of the decision is likely to be the analysis and ruling on Section 1112. As noted by the court, a CDO is a "bankruptcy remote" structure, in which the creditors of the entity – the noteholders – negotiate their respective rights and remedies. It is not an operating business with numerous, diverse creditor groups. In this context, permitting one group of noteholders to employ chapter 11 to rewrite their contract to the detriment of other noteholders is problematic, and the Taberna decision sends a clear signal that such tactics are not likely to prevail. The decision may therefore find application in other structured finance situations where all the creditors have contractually agreed on a process for liquidation and distribution.

Wow, I am so behind on blogging! Now I am playing catch up tonight and probably tomorrow : )
Mrs H and I emailed, emailed, and emailed TONS prior to their beach session. And I loved her even more in person! This family is so easy going, easy to photograph, even if Miss E wasn't a fan when I tried to pick her up, and laughed with each other and me through their whole session. So, instead of posting me favorite 'favorite' pictures, I am posting some of my favorite outtakes. It happens at every session, the cutest and best moments come when you least expect them! The last five minutes of this beach were no different. Check out the last picture. It's some of the best moments from this session!
Zack and Stefanie are married! Part 2 {St Augustine Wedding Photographer}Posted: April 8, 2011 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Cap's on the Water, St Augustine Wedding Photographer, The Columbia Restaurant Leave a comment
After their ceremony at Cap's on the Water, we headed to lunch at the The Columbia Restaurant in the historic part of St Augustine– fantastic! It has a really fun feel, lots of conversation, and laughter! The perfect spot for a celebration. The best part about this kind of intimate setting is that I was able to not only photograph the lunch, but to take part in it, as well as learning more and more about the couple through their family and friends. Leaving after hugging the bride and groom as well as her parents kind of gives you a nice feeling too. Thanks for letting me be a part of your day! Looking forward to November for your big celebration.

Stefanie and Zack had an intimate wedding at Cap's on the Water in St Augustine and it was beautiful! I have never been to Cap's on the Water prior, but it is on my list of places for date night. The huge outdoor seating area right on the water and a beach area would be the perfect spot for relaxing!
The ceremony was under the trees right on the beach. Since Stefanie's favorite spot in St Augustine is going over the Vilano Beach Bridge and looking into Vilano, Cap's was a perfect spot for this ceremony!
Enjoy part one of your wedding pictures!

Time for some Vintage Disneyland Tickets. This "10 Adventures in Disneyland" ticket book is from 1960. There is something very special about tickets from "Walt's" time, his stylized signature on the welcome sheet is most reassuring. "Walt Disney Productions" would replace Walt's signature on the welcome sheet in 1967, they should have left it alone.
These tickets were "Magic Key Coupons" good for admission to any ride or attraction. This is some seriously vivid Globe safety paper.
They back has the usual "not subject to refund" and "good any time" lines, but the "Maximum Price of this Coupon is 50¢" is somewhat rare, in fact I don't recall seeing that before.
The September 1960 attraction list is sure fun to look at. It appears slightly Fantasyland heavy and very Adventureland light...
Admission and 10 adventures in Disneyland for $3.75... or a Venti Latte at Starbucks for the same price, choose wisely!

Manchester's Off The Record returned with industry experts offering advice over aspiring audiences in the Central Methodist Hall, Getintothis' Lewis Ridley reports before bunking into a Charlatans gig.
Manchester's Off The Record returned for the second year with a day of talks and new music.
However, what Getintothis didn't bargain for during our day trip to Manchester – was the bonus of a Charlatans secret gig.
The event is curated by the likes of Kendal Calling, Bluedot, The Inspiral Carpets' Clint Boon and Liverpool Sound City who collated guest speakers and bands to play around the city's creative centre.
CEO of Ditto Music, Matt Parsons, kicked off the day with a presentation on how to get a job in the music industry, detailing passions, skills and the practicalities of making yourself known in music. A PR specialist panel was moderated by BBC Radio 6 Music's Elizabeth Alker with an aim to help bands make the most of their social media and email opportunities.
Ditto Music – The little known company responsible for Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith and Stormzy
Meanwhile, on social media, The Charlatans' Tim Burgess was kicking up an online storm with the launch of a band app and announcing a live secret gig in the Northern Quarter at 3pm, the networking foyer was subsequently full of rumours as to where the gig would be.
The band have launched an app with all 49 of their singles as working icons brought to life with studio interviews, unseen footage and playlists from Tim Burgess and co.
The next panel was on 'The Age of Streaming', detailing the rise of online streaming services and what that means in a practical sense for bands and artists. The popularity of Amy MacDonald in Switzerland and how Spotify have never actually made a profit were just a couple of interesting points raised by the panel and audience.
The tales behind Tim Book Two – Tim Burgess talks to Getintothis
And so 3pm came, and in an office space above Hilton Street in North Manchester came a set that included North Country Boy, The Only One I Know and Just When You're Thinking Things Over.
Tim Burgess and Mark Collins from The Charlatans were celebrating the launch of their new 'app' with Modern English, a creative company in the city.
Secret gig! @thecharlatans Mark Collins and @Tim_Burgess are performing in Manchester – North Country Boy and Impossible on the set list so far! Our man @LewisRids3 is following the action. ? pic.twitter.com/1aRsUF8Fty

With Paul Arthurs, more commonly known as Oasis' Bonehead in attendance, Tim and Mark also played Spinning Out from 2017's Different Days before retreating to what is usually an office room to reflect on the launch of another creative initiative.

Off The Record culminated in an exhibition of new music across Northern Quarter venues where the likes of Pink Kink, The Snuts and The Blinders, fresh from signing with Modern Sky UK, featured.

A 'tragic disconnect'
Rick Santorum said nothing new today in his address at the AIPAC policy conference. From the very beginning it was clear that he, as one expects, would use his time to deliver a political message and take the opportunity to lash out at Obama's Israel policy, especially with regard to Iran. Santorum's political message was simple: Obama has "turned his back on the people of Israel," he said. "A clear and unfortunate, tragic disconnect," he proclaimed emphatically, exists between the administration and the Israelis with regard to Iran's potential threat. "We need to do more than just talk," he said. We expect the pandering, but the true disconnect lies between what the intelligence community is saying about an Iran attack and Santorum's views on the matter. Taking a shot at Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey, Santorum said, "The fact that we have the chairman of the Joint Chiefs saying we're not sure yet that Iran is really going to pursue or has made the decision to develop a nuclear weapon just shows again the disconnect." Santorum was referringto the caution raised by both General Dempsey and British Foreign Minister William Hague two weeks ago when the two officials expressed a degree of opposition to an imprudent Israeli attack without even giving sanctions a chance to take full effect. If Rick Santorum read Israeli press reports, he would know that the Israeli intelligence community is extremely split on how to deal with Iran.
Out of touch
Israeli-Palestinian affairs were virtually absent during the AIPAC policy conference. With Iran at the forefront of the conversation, many speakers chose to congenially avoid the single most contentious issue in the Middle East for over 60 years. Surprisingly, Mitt Romney was among the few who decided to talk directly on the matter. His comments on the peace process will be our focus here. At the beginning of his speech, Romney said:
The current administration has distanced itself from Israel and visibly warmed to the Palestinian cause. It has emboldened the Palestinians. They are convinced that they can do better at the UN – and better with America – than they can at the bargaining table with Israel.
Romney didn't stop there. He made it pretty clear that he doesn't believe achieving peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians is a top priority. "Talking about a peace process right now is a bit like setting up a tent in the middle of a hurricane," he said. "So there has to be some settling down of a number of questions I think before the peace process is going to get its legs again." Romney's tone and rhetoric seem to imply that it is not in Israel's interest to make peace with the Palestinians – an concept with which many Israelis would beg to differ. Barack Ravid, reporter for Haaretz, tweeted during Romney's speech: "Quite amazing that Romney thinks that peace process is not an Israeli interest." Here, Romney gets so caught up in what he thinks the pro-Israel crowd wants to hear that he finds himself supporting putting Israel on a confrontational path on two fronts: with the Palestinians and with the Iranians.
It's all about radical Islam
Newt Gingrich botched his speech. He clearly didn't even have a speech prepared. He had, after all, just awoken from dozing off several times during Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta's speech. Gingrich expected to be questioned by an AIPAC panel. But after a few seconds of awkward silence, he was notified that there was no panel, so he went on again. Right out of the gates, Gingrich said, "We need a fundamental reassessment of our entire understanding of the threat of radical Islam." After grouping Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Egypt, the Fort Hood shooting, Osama bin Laden and Hamid Karzai all together in one breath, Gingrich abruptly turned to energy independence and hit out at the Saudis. "We will no longer tolerate their funding of Madrasas which teach hatred and teach terrorism." He then briefly transitioned to Iran saying "The red line is not the morning the bomb goes off, or the morning our intelligence committee tells us they've failed once again…the red line is now." Gingrich must have forgotten who he was speaking to, because his speech was more about "radical Islam" than about the U.S.-Israeli relationship. Why does Gingrich think he needs to pander to anti-Muslim sentiment to win the pro-Israel crowd's support?

PITTSBURGH (AP) – North Carolina State fell into a big hole, but climbed back out of it late to knock off Pitt, 72-68 on Wednesday.
The Wolfpack used an 11-0 run late in the second half to claw back into a game that Pitt had dominated. The Panthers missed six straight shots while NC State turned a double-digit deficit into a narrow lead late. Allerik Freeman made a pair of free throws with 8.5 seconds to play to secure the victory.
Omer Yurtseven led the way for NC State with 16 points despite dealing with foul trouble for most of the night. He shot 6 of 7 from the floor.
NC State (14-7, 4-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) started the game with a 17-6 lead, which prompted Pitt head coach Kevin Stallings to switch to a 2-3 zone defense. The change paid immediate dividends as Pitt went on an 18-3 run. The Pitt zone defense limited the Wolfpack to shooting 34 percent from the field (24 of 71), tied for its worst shooting performance of the season.
For Pitt, (8-13, 0-8 ACC) Jared Wilson-Frame shot 7 of 14 for a career-high 22 points. The Panthers used dribble penetration to get the Wolfpack defense moving and also got both starting NC State big men in early foul trouble.
Pitt had a halftime lead for the first time since Dec. 19 against Delaware State and had yet to have a double-digit lead at any point through seven ACC games.
NC State: The Wolpack victory will help them keep their heads above water in a deep middle of the pack in the ACC. Seven different teams entered play Wednesday with three conference wins. The top nine teams get a crucial bye in the ACC Tournament. NC State started the day 11th.
Pitt: The Panthers are still searching for their first ACC victory this season and have lost 12 straight ACC regular-season games, dating back to Feb. 18, 2017. The four-point loss was the first single-digit deficit for the Panthers in conference play this season.
NC State: Visits cross-town rival North Carolina on Saturday. The Wolfpack have lost their last four games against the No. 10 Tar Heels by an average margin of 24.8 points.
Pitt: Remains home to host Syracuse on Saturday. The Panthers have won 9 of 11 against the Orange since the Petersen Events Center opened in 2002.

Rishi Tea Organic White Peony
Country of Origin: China
Leaf Appearance: mixed, lots of downy buds
Ingredients: white tea
Steep time: 5 minutes
Water Temperature: 185 degrees
Preparation Method: Tavalon Gravity Pot
Liquor: deep gold
This was one of the highest quality white peonies that I have ever had and the best part is that it came off of the sale rack at Whole Foods! I grabbed a tin to keep in my work stash but I quickly realized that it was much too nice to waste on hasty office prepping. I think the secret was the high percentage of buds compared to most other renditions of this tea. It was complex with layered notes of chestnut and honey. The finish was woody with a hint of floral sweetness. There was no anstringency but this was still a very full bodied cup of tea. The dry leaves have such a wonderful aroma, I just couldn't keep my nose out of the tin. This is tea is a really close tie with the White Monkey from Teas Etc for my favorite white tea. I'm not surprised at all that Rishi is completely out of stock on it.
You can find this tea here.

Colombo, July 18 (IANS) Riding on vital knocks from middle-order batsmen Niroshan Dickwella and Asela Gunaratne, Sri Lanka registered the highest successful chase on Asian soil to defeat Zimbabwe by four wickets in the one-off Test at the R. Premadasa Stadium here on Monday.
Chasing a victory target of 388 runs, Sri Lanka suffered early jitters before scoring 391/6 in their second innings.
The earlier record was held by India who successfully chased 387 runs against England in 2008 at Chennai.
Dickwella was the highest scorer among the Lankan batsmen with 81 runs while Gunaratne remained unbeaten on 80.
Sri Lanka lost their entire top order for 203 runs before the duo put together a partnership of 121 runs to help the hosts secure victory.
All-rounder Dilruwan Perera played a steady knock, staying unbeaten on 29 runs along with Gunaratne.
Earlier, electing to bat first Zimbabwe posted 356 and 377 runs in the first and second innings, respectively.
The visitors were boosted by good performances by Craig Ervine who scored 160 runs in the first innings and Sikandar Raza who scored 127 runs in the second innings.
In reply, the home side fell 10-runs short in the first innings with leg-spinner Greame Cremer returning figures of 5/125 for Zimbabwe, helping the visitors restrict Sri Lanka to 346 runs.

Spend more on homeless veterans and less on helping illegal immigrants; that was the message from members of Protect Virginia Now (PVN) to federal and state lawmakers during a Monday afternoon press conference in Arlington.
"There are 400,000 men and women who served America in uniform who are on our streets tonight," said Brian Hampton, spokesman for PVN's Virginia Chapter. "Yet in recent years Virginia has budgeted only one-100th of percent of its budget to help homeless veterans."
PVN, Hampton said, registered this week with the state board of elections as an official political action committee. Hampton, a retired Army major, outlined the group's three-point "plan of attack" to bring more money to veterans in need by decreasing spending on illegal immigrants.
"First, we call on the U.S. Congress and the Virginia delegation to lead the charge in raising spending for homeless veterans to 1 percent of the Virginia budget," Hampton said. "Second, we call on Congress to defeat the preposterous guest worker programs that would give illegal aliens legal status as long as they are employed for at least six years and that promises incentives, tax preferred saving accounts and for retirement. For illegal aliens, who cheated and broke the law? How about for American veterans who stood up with their lives?"
The third prong of PVN's trident, Hampton said, is public support for legislation like a bill put forth by Sen. Emmett Hanger (R-24) that reached Gov. Mark Warner's desk last week which would deny state benefits to anyone who cannot offer proof of U.S. citizenship.
"I certainly welcome their support, Hanger said of PVN.
Hanger added that he believes Warner will sign the bill into law later this week.
"At one point, I had heard there might be an amendment to it, but now I'm hearing that it will be signed as it is," said Hanger.
A similar measure was introduced by Del. David Albo (R-42).
The press conference in Arlington was one of six held across the United States by Protect America Now, PVN's parent organization.
"We're spending tens of millions of dollars on non-citizens," Hampton said. "It's a good thing to do but we have to prioritize. We're suggesting that our country get back to its core, that we need to support our veterans and our soldiers."
Hampton added that PVN plans to engage more politicians in its cause.
"OUR METHOD OF operation is to put the spotlight on politicians who might act as obstructionists," he said. "We'll be urging them to get on board."
According to the Center for Immigration Studies, an organization that states it promotes a "pro-immigrant and low immigration" vision of the United States, each illegal immigrant saddles American taxpayers with about $65,000 in associated costs. A study from the states Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission, states that immigrants account for about 8 percent of the Commonwealth's total population. That same study contradicts Hampton's statements on illegal immigrants, indicating that they do not place a disproportionate burden on state and local governments. Accurate numbers on how many illegal immigrants inhabit the state can be hard to come by but another organization the Migration Policy Institute, estimates there are at least 100,000 in Virginia.

Alfred Robles, one of the many cool guys on Fluffy Breaks Even, stopped by Fuse to chat with us about his favorite things—well, one in particular. The comedian has much love for his cat, who is awesomely called "Two Socks" in honor of Tupac. He shares a funny story about a gender mix-up:
"I remember calling the vet, and I said 'Is Two Socks ready?' They were like, 'It's not a he, it's a she. And I go, 'No, that ain't my f--king cat! My cat's a he!' I kept arguing."
Watch below as Robles plays a fun game of food-related word association, where he links New York to pizza and Austin to Tex-Mex.

Here is what you need to know.
China's services sector is slowing. The largest segment of China's economy is growing, albeit at a slower pace, according to the latest Caxin-Markit services purchasing managers' index. July's reading of 51.7 was down from June's 52.7 and was the weakest since July 2014.
China's state planner says the PBOC should ease at the "appropriate time." Rare comments from the National Development and Reform Commission suggested Beijing should cut interest rates and ease bank requirements at the "appropriate time" to kick-start the economy, Reuters reports. The People's Bank of China has not moved rates since October.
Britain's services sector got crushed by Brexit. PMI data released by Markit and the Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply showed that Britain's services sector posted its sharpest drop on record after the UK's vote to leave the European Union. The July reading tumbled to 47.4 from June's 52.3. The British pound is unchanged at 1.3358.
But Europe is seeing little effect. The eurozone is seeing "little overall contagion" from the UK's decision to leave the European Union, according to Markit's final composite PMI figure for July. The reading came in at 52.9, which marked a minor improvement from June's 52.7. The euro is down 0.2% at 1.1199.
There was a massive bitcoin heist. More than $65 million worth of bitcoin was stolen from BitFinex, a digital currency exchange in Hong Kong. "We are investigating the breach to determine what happened, but we know that some of our users have had their bitcoins stolen," the exchange said in a blog post. Bitcoin has traded down by as much as 20% on the news to $480.
Sturm, Ruger & Co. says gun sales are surging. The gunmaker earned an adjusted $1.22 a share on revenue of $167.9 million. The company says sales surged 26% during the quarter, coinciding with a spike in background checks.
AIG is buying back more stock. The commercial insurer earned $0.98 a share on revenue of $14.7 billion. AIG's board of directors authorized the buyback of up to an additional $3 billion worth of stock.
Stock markets around the world are mostly lower. France's CAC (-0.3%) trails in Europe after Japan's Nikkei (-1.9%) lagged in Asia. S&P 500 futures are lower by 3.50 points at 2,149.25.
Earnings reporting remains heavy. Office Depot and Time Warner are among the names reporting ahead of the opening bell while Herbalife, MetLife, and Tesla Motors highlight the names releasing their quarterly results after markets close.
US economic data flows. ADP Employment Change will cross the wires at 8:15 a.m. ET before Markit US Services PMI and ISM nonmanufacturing are released at 9:45 a.m. and 10 a.m. ET. US crude-oil inventories are due out at 10:30 a.m. ET. The US 10-year yield is down 2 basis points at 1.54%.

There a way to make it stop coming up at all? I'm afraid to delete it, what and how touchy Microsoft has been about other programs, but it's honestly useless to me.
Either way, there's finally some good news on the picture I've been working on! Finally got the basic style idea on Valeon and now, it shouldn't take that long to get the rest of them painted. There's no reason that I shouldn't be able to paint this way 4 more times, right? (Didn't know I could paint like this at all, considering. So I'm more thrilled than I ought to be.)

Also, next week's post may be a bit late. It's time for Vacation Bible School and they'd like me to help out in the classes again. Wish us luck--we're going to be squeezing down the time in most activities so we'll be finished earlier. Last year, some of the kids who lived further away were getting home around 10 at night, and we agreed at the meeting that was unacceptable.
Definitely think about our Crafts Lady, she's gone from having about an hour per group to thirty minutes. It's going to be a challenge on her with that many excited youngins.
All that said, we're expecting it to be just as fun as the last time!
