In December of 1886, work began on the town of Cortez. According to the citys website, in 1889 a sandstone building was completed at the intersection of Market and Main Street to house mercantile and businesses.
And in the spirit of commerce, the Cortez Cultural Center, located at 25 N. Market St. will be celebrating Cortezs 125th birthday a few months early to help raise money for the center.
What weve done is shifted the focus away from Traders Rendezvous, said Shawn Collins, executive director of the Cortez Cultural Center, referring to the annual event. Shifting the focus on the traders themselves to a broader perspective where we get to look at the consumeristic, or the business perspective of Cortez as a hub of commerce for 125 years.
Events kick off Saturday with a flag-raising by the American Legion and musical performances by the Montezuma Cortez High School Band.
A rare tour will be offered of Mitchell Springs from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday. Located just south of town, the springs were one of the original water sources that gave birth to a fledgling Cortez before the Great Cut Dike was built and a mile-long tunnel was bored through the sandstone to bring water from the Dolores River.
Water was very important, Collins said. As water was developed, so were other businesses.
Now located on private property, the springs also have prehistoric significance as the water source for the ancient Hawkins Pueblo ruins, which will also be toured from 1 to 4 p.m.
The Pueblo has recently undergone roofing, archaeology and site stabilization, Collins said.
The other day we had a preschool group coming through and a little girl who had to be five or six years old actually pointed at the ruin and said look, that was one of their bedrooms. Collins said. That was wonderful because what that meant for me, is its something more than just a mound of rubble, which it has been in the past.
Also from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, an Antique Market Road Show will offer a chance for locals to have their antique items appraised in exchange for a $10 donation to the cultural center.
Im looking forward to some of the stories that will come out of those items, Collins said. I think that actually has a lot of potential to be a lot of fun.
A Cowboy Cookout and homemade pie sale will take place from 4 to 6 p.m. for $10 per plate. Alcoholic beverages will be available for additional cost.
From 5 to 6:30 p.m. Authors of the recently published Images of America: Cortez, Vila Schwindt, Janet Weeth and Dale Davidson will be on hand for a book signing. Copies of the book will be available and proceeds will go to the cultural center.
Following the book signing, at 6:30 p.m. a panel discussion will be held on the topic, Cortez as a center of commerce for 125 years. Panel members include Kelly Wilson, Gary Tanner, William Winkler, Doty Wayt and William Fraser.
A rug valued at $3,900 will be raffled off at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 for one or $25 for three.
Also Saturday, KSJD Dryland Community Radio will be holding a moving sale from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the intersection of Market Street and Main Street.
Not to be overlooked, the Traders Rendezvous rug preview and rug auction will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday at the Montezuma County Annex, 107 N. Chestnut Street with the auction beginning at 1 p.m.
Collins said area weavers will be bringing traditional and non-traditional rugs for auction.
It should be a buyers market this year, she said.
Rugs up for auction can be viewed online at: http://rbburnhamtrading.com
For more information, contact the cultural center at 565-1151.

Virtual mouse could make animal experiments a thing of the past
Medical testing on lab mice is one of those issues that is far from black and white. On the one hand, we've gained so many medical advances from the practice that have significantly improved our lives, but on the other, innocent creatures are subject to a wide range of experiments that can be cruel and painful.
Luckily, the researchers at the Human Brain Project are working on a way to let us get the results of those experiments without having to harm a living being.They are building a virtual mouse that will be an exact computer model of the real thing so that future medical research can be modeled as accurately as if it were done on a real mouse.
Right now, the team has been able to map 200,000 neurons in the mouse brain to the corresponding points in the body that would stimulate them. For example, touching the virtual mouse's whiskers activates the corresponding parts of the mouse sensory cortex.The mouse brain has 75 million neurons, so there's still work to be done, but the researchers are gathering data quickly and the first version of the software will be released to collaborators in April.
The scientists are collecting their data points from biological data collected by the Allen Brain Institute in Seattle and the Biomedical Informatics Research Network in San Diego. They are integrating various types of data into this one model to make it richly layered. They expect that as they work, advances in technology will make the model more and more realistic.
When the model is further along, the software will be available to scientists worldwide.

GLENN HUGHES Blames 'Dehydration' For Abbreviated Christchurch Concert; Tour To Continue As Scheduled
September 27, 2017
Glenn Hughes will continue his tour of New Zealand and Australia after doctors said he was suffering from dehydration.
The former DEEP PURPLE bassist/vocalist was assessed by doctors in Christchurch Wednesday morning after being forced to cut short the first New Zealand show due to what witnesses called "some sort of a medical event".
But in a video message posted earlier today, Glenn said that he will carry on with the rest of the tour. "Last night was a bit of a hiccup," he said. "I had dehydration from not drinking enough water. Note to self: Mr. Hughes, drink water."
Hughes spent Tuesday night in a Christchurch hospital after leaving the stage at Horncastle Arena with fifteen minutes remaining in his set. He later wrote that he "felt dizzy" and "couldn't make the full show." He added that he "played for one hour and forty-five minutes when" he left the stage, assisted by his tech.
Glenn's tour continues Wednesday night at Wellington's Michael Fowler Centre.
Hughes and his backing band — Jeff Kollman, Lachy Doley and Pontus Engborg — are revisiting some of DEEP PURPLE's best-known songs for the first time on the current trek.
Hughes played his last show with DEEP PURPLE in March 1976, three years after joining the band.

Go thou and thirst no more!
Go thou and thirst no more!
Turning 40 on Sunday - I think I'm going to need to finish off a 6-pack of Smithwick's this weekend.
It was our meeting in Columbus that got me hooked on Smithwick's, although I think I may have had some several years ago in Kilkenny, Ireland (where it's brewed).
If you base your beer purchases on whether or not they support a noble endeavour like championing the rights of homosexuals, then you are completely lost to reality.
I'm not lost to reality, merely consumed by love of good beer.
And that, to my mind, is the number one offense of Miller -- such a great offense that I really don't care about what the company's other priorities might be: The make lousy beer.
The[y] make lousy beer.
Yeah...I didn't think anybody drank that swill. I'd call it piss-water, but I never heard anyone complain of getting a headache after drinking just one bottle of piss-water.
My brother-in-law introduced me to some very nice Belgian beers. At the moment, however, I'm ejoying a Tequila Sunrise with a Galliano floater.
"The[y] make lousy beer."
Yes that is the worse offense. I never thought I would become a beer snob, but I can't imagine actually drinking Miller beer anymore. Though I drank plenty when I was younger. Somewhere along the way I found that there are beers that actually taste good.
I'll drink to that!
Aaaw, man. Unfortunately I clicked on the link to those pics from the Folsom Street Festival. I'll have to remember to tell J. about that. I can only imagine what he'd think if he saw those images cached somewhere on my computer.
Also...it's kind of hilarious that Miller sponsors this stuff now. How will this effect their ads? Will the Swedish Bikini Team that shows up to surprise delighted beer drinkers now be dudes in speedos?
I write as I wash my palate with a cold glass of Dead Guy Ale from Rogue Brewery. mmmm
The advertising angle is interesting. I don't watch much TV so I don't recall seeing any Miller commercials lately, but I do catch some radio spots. Those spots are clearly designed to reach the Black market, but I don't know if it's just a regional thing or national. Miller used to market itself as the working man's beer - the blue collar drink. I wonder if that market has abandoned them and they're trying other things.
I'm a Guinness Man, myself!
So what does someone do who thinks Miller beer tastes like horse p*ss?
I prefer Yuengling Black & Tan, Heinekins, or Guiness Stout.
So what does someone do who thinks Miller beer tastes like horse p*ss?
Ceasing drinking both Miller and whatever it is that is providing you familiarity with that which you use to provide the comparison... :-)

"…this is not a democracy, it's a cheerocracy": Dance on Film
We began our programming season with the dance documentary First Position (Bess Kargman, 2011) and our current Black Mountain College exhibition and programming highlights the ways that dance was integral to the school's interdisciplinary, experiential approach to arts education. Last Tuesday we screened Tacita Dean's 2009 Craneway Event, a 16mm film that is, on the surface, about a rehearsal for one of choreographer Merce Cunningham's "Events," a collage of bits and pieces of dance from his company's repertoire. Dean's film is about more than that, though, with its poetic meditation on the dancers' movements, the dazzling light in the rehearsal space, and Cunningham's gentle yet authoritative presence. There is no music in the film—the dancers count their movements—and this brings out the physicality of their bodies, the space and even the camera itself. Cunningham once said, "Dancing is the art of the present tense. I don't think this is an intellectual matter. Like many things, it falls to pieces, ceases to exist, when subjected to intellectual scrutiny." Craneway Event is the ideal way to capture the present-tense nature of bodies in motion.
With dance and film on our minds, we decided to think deeply about our favorite dance movies of all time—a daunting feat, no doubt, since a bad dance film is like a bad pizza (i.e., delicious nonetheless). There is something about the intersection of these two art forms that is electrifying: close-ups of bodies, rhythmic editing, moving cameras, seemingly impossible choreography and jumps in time, space, and costume (Bollywood, anyone?). As you'll see, these films come from a range of genres and use a variety of narrative tropes—really, all they have in common is people who dance and our ability to re-watch them many times over.
In chronological order, by dance-movie aficionados and Hammer Public Programs staff members Janani Subramanian (JS) and Jen Jurgens (JJ):
Dance, Girl, Dance (Dorothy Arzner, 1940)
Arzner was one of the few female directors who made a name for herself in the studio system, and Dance, Girl, Dance wears its feminist mantle proudly (despite being highly underappreciated when released). Featuring Maureen O'Hara as staid ballerina Judy and Lucille Ball as wild burlesque dancer Bubbles, the film uses dance and a love triangle as a means for female empowerment—a not-insignificant feat for a 1940s film. In this scene, Judy turns her male audience's leering gaze back on itself, forcing us as viewers consider our own act of looking. (JS)
The Red Shoes (Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, 1948)
Based on the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, this lush, romantic film is still the standard that ballet movies are judged against. The best film from British legends Powell and Pressburger, The Red Shoes is both an ode to and warning against the seductive powers of art. There is a dark tension at the heart of the film offsetting its gorgeous construction that keeps people returning to it again and again. I've seen it more times than I can count and am still enthralled by its mix of beauty and pain. Jack Cardiff's gorgeous cinematography and stellar use of Technicolor mean that if you ever have a chance to see the restored 35mm print you should run, not walk to get tickets. You won't regret it. (JJ)
Honorable Mention: Black Swan (2010): The Red Shoes is a dark fairy-tale, and Black Swan is even darker, teasing out the homoeroticism and horror of dance in Darren Aronofsky's trademark mix of cerebral and grotesque. (JS)
Singin' in the Rain (Stanley Donen, 1952)
There isn't much to say about this backstage musical that hasn't been said before. As someone who dislikes musicals, this film wooed me with its choreography alone—the astonishing footwork of Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, Donald O'Connor, and Cyd Charisse. The legendary "Make 'Em Laugh" sequence is 4-minutes of jaw-dropping athleticism, improvisation and grace. (JS)
Flashdance (Adrian Lyne, 1983)
Flashdance is a quintessentially '80s movie in all the best, and possibly worst, ways. Light on narrative cohesion and character development, despite an endearing debut performance by Jennifer Beals, the movie managed to excite audiences and rack up an impressive box office tally. Dispensing with the traditional musical technique of advancing story through song and dance, Flashdance adopted the quick-cut editing style of MTV music videos. The resulting series of music videoesque set pieces connected by the narrative of a young woman finding empowerment on the dance floor set the template for dance movies all the way to today. In addition to Beals's sartorial trendmaking, the film was the launching pad for '80s heavyweight producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer, director Adrian Lyne, and screenwriter Joe Eszterhas. A movie with music by disco/electronic/synthpop master Giorgio Moroder about an 18 year old welder who longs to be a serious dancer that inspired a Snoopy parody (1984's glorious It's Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown)? Yes, please. (JJ)
Breakin' (Joel Silberg, 1984)
Nathan Rabin summed up the glorious clichés of Breakin' in his Esquire piece about the franchise: a "classically trained dancer boldly challenging the divides of high and low culture" and "passionate street dancers risking it all for a dream." It's a total cheese-fest but brought the skill and grace of breakdancing into the mainstream, made the dance-battle a mainstay of the genre, and featured the on-screen debuts of Ice-T (!) and Jean Claude Van Damme (!!).
Honorable mention: Save the Last Dance (2001) - The problematic racial dynamics of a white dancer learning "street" style for her own personal gains are repeated in this standard teen romance, but I derive real pleasure from watching heartthrob Sean Patrick Thomas crush it on the dance floor while aspiring to be a doctor while dealing with Julia Stiles's unrealistic aspirations. (JS)
Paris is Burning (Jennie Livingston, 1990)
Jennie Livingston's documentary about 1980s ball culture and transgender Black and Latino communities delves deep into a vibrant subculture defined by fashion, complex social webs and hierarchies, and an overall embrace of freedom of expression and identity. It also calls attention to the Harlem roots of "voguing," a style of dance that features model-like poses, later infamously assimilated into the mainstream by Madonna. (JS)
Center Stage (Nicholas Hytner, 2000)
Center Stage is a bad movie—BUT, as Hillary Bussis writes in Entertainment Weekly, it is actually a great movie in the "A thing you loved when you were 12 that's still entertaining once you reach adulthood, despite how much of it is about feet" way. Bussis has 49 excellent reasons behind her claim, including a young Zoe Saldana's "legendary bitchface," the "sheer number of Steve Madden and Adidas slip-on platform sandals on display", dance cinematography that shows an actual appreciation for the art, and THIS ASTONISHING FINALE (that occupies reasons 37-49 of Bussis's list). (JS)
Bring It On (Peyton Reed, 2000)
Is Bring It On a dance movie or a sports movie? Probably both, but we're counting it as firmly in the dance-musical camp because like the movie says, "this is not a democracy, it's a cheerocracy." 2000's sleeper dance classic features the powerhouse teen movie combo of Kirsten Dunst, Eliza Dushku, Gabrielle Union, and the dude from Swimfan. Packed with explosive gymnastic choreography and endlessly quotable quips, Bring It On is the perfect comfort viewing film. Fun fact: prior to his world domination with the musical Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote the music and lyrics for Bring It On: The Musical. (JJ)
Step Up (Franchise)
Aside from giving Channing Tatum (bless him) his big-screen chance to show off his exotic dance education (bless it!) and providing work for legions of back-up dancers, this franchise also bestowed upon us an excellent iterative naming system worthy of The Naked Gun and The Fast and Furious (Step Up 2 the Streets, Step Up 3D, Step Up Revolution, Step Up: All In). While often written off as no-substance teen flicks, the level of talent in all the films is staggering - check out Moose (Adam G. Sevani) and Camille (Alyson Rae Stoner) in Step Up 3D's "I won't dance" sequence, an adorable homage to Singin' in the Rain. (JS)
Magic Mike (Franchise)

On November 4, West Virginia Governor Jim Justice commended our Fairmont mill for exporting recycled bleached kraft pulp to China.
Noting that more exports mean a stronger economy and support for local jobs, Governor Justice presented Resolute, and 33 other companies, with the Governor's Commendation for International Market Entry on behalf of West Virginia and the U.S. Department of Commerce.
The Fairmont mill has an annual production capacity of 218,000 metric tons of recycled pulp, a green alternative designed to replace virgin fiber. Valued for its high quality and superior performance, recycled pulp is used in a wide variety of paper products and packaging applications.

When I booked my ticket to the Travel Bloggers Unite conference, I expected nothing more than a "typical" conference.
You know … speed networking events, inspirational key note speakers, thought provoking panel discussions and gift bags filled with mints, notebooks and pens. Actually, the conference was all of this but it was also so much more.
Set at the Valle Di Assisi Hotel and Resort, the conference kicked off with a "Welcome to Umbria" event that began with a procession of costumed flag throwers, drummers and trumpeters who put on amazing medieval styled show against the backdrop of a stunning Umbrian landscape and sunset.
Initially, I had no idea what the festivities held in store but when I stumbled across the performance group Compagnia Sbandieratori e Musici di Città della Pieve practicing, I knew I was on to something good.
After leaving where the company's practice area, I walked around the resort grounds waiting for their show to begin. The rather romantic setting seemed almost too beautiful to be real …
The procession than began with the company marching towards the area where everyone was gathered waiting.
Then the performance began. It was like that scene from Under The Tuscan Sun coming to life where the young Polish man takes up at the art of flag throwing to prove his love to his Italian girlfriend. Swoon!
No sooner than it started, it was over and the group was walking away.
The performance was both musically and visually stunning. There was simply no better way to start off TBU than this.

Superior Quality Recumbent Trike Parts
We ship throughout Australia
Racing trike specialists
At MR Recumbent Trikes we have trike parts for racing, touring and special purposes available for sale. This includes cromolly tubing, gears, brakes, rims, hubs, spokes, tyres, wheels, chain, cranksets, and fairing and frame parts. (Note pricing on cromolly tubing is constantly changing so is not included in web pricelist)
If you can't find a part you're looking for however, simply let us know your needs and we'll do our best to assist.
We supply schools, manufacturers and individual builders.
Suppliers to racing teams at:
Wonthaggi Pedal Prix, Maryborough RACV Energy Breakthrough, RACQ Pedal Prix and Technology challenge, Victorian HPV Gran Prix series, Casey Fields, Knox, Bendigo, Australian HPV Super series Mount Gambier, Loxton, Victoria Park, Busselton, Murray Bridge.
Over 20 years building recumbent trikes.
We build the famous TRUBLU racing wheels-the fastest and most reliable trike wheels available which save both money and time!
TRUBLU WHEELS-The original and best high performance Trike wheel
Higher speed and less maintenance.
If you are sick of replacing and repairing trike wheels at each race then the TRUBLU wheel is for you.
These are now used by Top racing trike manufacturers (not only on TRUBLU trikes but also TRUMP trikes, G trikes and Harnetty racing trikes ) for their top racing models because TRUBLU wheels are faster, more reliable and last longer than any other.
Each TRUBLU ULTIMATE wheel is hand built in Australia with DT Swiss spokes, stress relieved, then individually tested for even maximum spoke tension. Using a special compound the nipples are locked in place (but may be trued if ever required). JAPANESE RACE BEARINGS and CNC SPACERS are fitted, then each wheel is finally roll tested to ensure they perform at the highest level. We specially designed and had these rims manufactured for the high cornering loads of racing trikes. Less time off the track for maintenance equals a faster trike and importantly less problems to worry about.
Many customers report saving more than 6 seconds per lap with TRUBLU ULTIMATE wheels, which during a 24 hour race adds up to over half an hour Advantage !!!!
Used by the majority of race winning trikes around Australia.
Because the TRUBLU wheel has minimal flex the trike is easier to control in corners and that minimal flex means spokes don't fatigue so the wheel lasts a long time.
They actually save money too over cheaper wheels as fewer spare wheels and much lower maintenance are required.Typically it will be years before spoke replacement is necessary. A recent customer who races several trikes told me he previously allowed for replacing 3 spare standard front wheels per trike per race but after we rebuilt his hubs with TRUBLU rims they have not had any failures. TRUBLU rims and wheels are available in the 349 (16") size commonly used in racing. We have complete TRUBLU ULTIMATE wheels with Dt Swiss spokes, cnc spacers and Japanese race bearings available for $250. TRUBLU standard wheels are also available from $190 - rebuilds from $135
How To Order
Please send us your list of required parts, with your name and address.

Why had I chosen the night ferry?
So I could get enough sleep for the second part of my long trip.
I was tired and fell asleep the minute I lay down, even though my whole body was aching and tense. I woke up half an hour later. An alarm had went off on some car on the deck right underneath my cabin. Somehow I managed to go back to sleep, only to be woken up again around 4 am. More alarm!
I cursed cars, engineers and ferry companies alike and went back to sleep. The Intruder has no alarm system, no need to be alarmed.
There were about 12 bikes on the ferry. All racers. A small English group who did not look left or right never mind greet and a Manx group talking races. We were all crammed together in a line, bikes secured with the straps provided. Considering the wobbly sidestand and my fear of my bike falling over I had strapped her tight, real tight. So tight, I had to muster all my strength and I still couldn't get that bl**y thing off. The lock had jammed.
I turned round and said: "Hey guys, can one of you give me a hand?"
They were at it with the speed of light, started pulling and poking and cursing but they would rather have lost a few fingers than admit failure. It took some time but they managed to get my Intruder free. I thanked them and looked into two big grins. My need for help had made them happy.
I had not liked to ask. A matter of pride I guess. But staying behind, strapped tight to the ferry, wouldn't have looked much cooler, would it?
But still I felt more "girlie" than I was happy with.
The rest of the long journey was smooth and uneventful. I took several breaks for petrol, coffee and toilets and arrived early and with a sore bum at my final destination.
Soaking in the bath I pondered why I had found it so difficult to ask for help.
Does independence mean, you have to manage everything yourself?
Does emancipation mean you have to manage without men completely?
I doubt both.
Real independence and emancipation leaves freedom to ask for support.
I would never hesitate to help somebody who asked me for help. Maybe it is because male bikers never do ask female riders for assistance, that it felt so strange and uncomfortable when I had to. Which it shouldn't, actually.
Men and women on bikes do the same things but they are not the same.
Or to say it with George Orwell…
All bikers are equal but some bikers are more equal than others.

A few years ago, I was called upon to investigate a complaint filed by a homeowner in a very high end, 55 and older community. The complaint was generated because the homeowner believed that there was mold growing in the crawl space under her home and she was hyper sensitive to air born mold spores.
To paint a better picture, these were all two section homes installed on a masonry (block) crawlspace, on frost protected concrete slabs that were poured 3' below the surrounding grade.
The crawl space was properly moisture proofed and the sites were well graded for proper drainage. But the inside of the crawl space was soaking wet even on the nice summer day when I visited.
And sure enough, you could see mold and mildew on the bottom board and in the floor cavity where the access panels were not replaced. The homeowner had a legitimate gripe.
As you know, water is needed to support the growth of mold, so we just needed to find the source of the water. The water source was easy to find. The lawn sprinklers!
Every evening, the automatic lawn sprinklers would slightly overspray the grass and water was landing on the recessed porch decking on the end of the home. The porch was decked with composite material that was installed with just enough of a gap for the water to pass through and collect in the crawl space. The ultimate problem was that the crawl space was constructed around the outside of the porch, instead of just around the living area of the home. So, with every lawn sprinkle, rain or snow that landed water on the decking, water was being introduced into the crawl space.
So, I decided to see what the manufacturers installation instructions say about recessed porches. Most installation manuals have two sentences dedicated to this topic, back somewhere around page 95 of most manuals: "Run the skirting along the perimeter of the homes heated, conditioned space. Do not enclose with skirting areas under recessed entries, porches or decks unless the skirting is of the fully vented type and installed as to allow water to freely flow out from under the home". And to complicate matters even further, the ground vapor retarder is not to extend under "recessed entries, decks or porches".
It would be difficult for an installer is to design a crawl space enclosure-skirting that "allows water to freely flow out from under the home".
And even if you did, the homeowner would likely do some landscaping that might act as a dam and trap the water in the crawlspace. Easy to see in these two pictures that any water landing on the decking is going straight into the crawl space.
As we are seeing more homes being constructed with these decked porches we need to take a harder look at this issue. Running skirting underneath the home is difficult at best. I have run across one example that is well done. In the picture below you can see the porch area is only enclosed with a vinyl lattice that allows any water to escape. And yes, there is a crawlspace wall (skirting) under that front end wall.
Maybe some manufacturers have a better idea. But don't take my word for it, grab an installation manual, turn to the section Complete Exterior Work- Install Skirting. Let me know what you think.

My family goes through a lot of hard boiled eggs. They are such an easy grab-and-go snack. Plus you can use them to whip up a quick batch of deviled eggs….yum!
There is nothing more frustrating than going to peel the first egg from a batch and you are stuck peeling every little piece of shell off. Not only does it then take forever to peel them, but you are also left with a bunch of sad looking eggs with pieces missing.
If this sounds familar to you, well, then keep reading! I have finally found a method that makes peeling my eggs easy. Every. Single. Time.
EASY PEEL Hard Boiled Eggs
- Fill a pot of with enough water that your eggs will be completely covered once they are added.
- Place the pot on the stovetop, set on high, with a lid and bring the water to a boil. **NOTE: keep checking to see if you water has started to boil so that it doesn't boil out and over.
- Once the water has come to a rolling boil, GENTLY lower your eggs into the boiling water. **NOTE: if your egg has even the slightest crack (or if you don't lower them gently) you can expect some of the egg white to leak out of the egg. This usually happens to one of my eggs, but I don't mind. They are all still super easy to peel.
- Once you have all of the eggs in, lower the temp (to medium or medium-low). Make sure that the water continues to gently boil the entire time.
- Set a timer for 12 minutes.
- While you are waitng for 12 minutes to pass, fill a large bowl with ice water. I don't just mean cold water. Place a handful or two of ice in a bowl and add nice cold water. This will be where your eggs go IMMEDIATELY after they are done boiling.
- When your timer goes off, quickly remove the eggs from the boiling water and add them directly to your ice water. Stir the eggs in the ice water for a moment and make sure that there is enough water to submerge all of the eggs.
- Let them sit in the water for 5 minutes.
- Peel immediately. **Remember to smile as the shell just falls off!
I promise to add pictures to this post soon! I will take some the next time I make a bunch!

CINCINNATI -- The Bengals have released veteran safety George Iloka, the team announced Sunday.
A league source said Iloka was stunned by the move, which he was told was for financial reasons. Iloka, a 2012 fifth-round pick out of Boise State, has been the Bengals' starting safety since 2013 and had three seasons remaining on his contract.
Iloka addressed his release in a tweet Sunday.
Thankful for the opportunity Cincinnati. To my former teammates, best of luck and stay healthy, you guys have something special brewing there.— George Iloka (@George_iloka) August 19, 2018
He was set to count $6.2 million against the salary cap this season. The Bengals will save $5.6 million against the cap with the move because Iloka was released after June 1.
Although the move seemed like a stunner because the Bengals tend to let their veterans play out their contracts, it became clear after last season that the team would like to keep its options open. A team source said the Bengals weren't happy with Iloka's play in 2017, and they went hard after free agent Kurt Coleman when the Carolina Panthers released him on Feb. 26.
The Bengals met with Coleman and his representatives at the NFL scouting combine that week and made him a competitive offer. When Coleman ultimately signed with the New Orleans Saints, it seemed possible that the Bengals were content to stick with Iloka for another season.
However, it was not a good sign for Iloka when the Bengals drafted safety Jessie Bates out of Wake Forest in the second round this year. The Bengals subbed in Bates with the first team during their first two preseason games and were swapping him in and out with Iloka while the starters were still on the field against the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday.
"He could end up being the guy back there real quick. You have to keep urging Jessie to move forward," Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said Aug. 14.
Bates' play and salary ($899,603 against the cap in 2018) made Iloka expendable, especially with the team looking to free up space to sign new long-term contracts for defensive linemen Carlos Dunlap and Geno Atkins.
This is the third significant veteran the Bengals have parted ways with this year, including cornerback Adam Jones and wide receiver Brandon LaFell.

Naples and Pompeii
An early start today. I am awake before 6.30am and I feel the ship shudder which normally means she is manourvering into port. I glance out and immediately spot the island of Capri in the distance as Reflection backs into the Port of Naples. We are docked alongside Aida Perla who we followed through the straits of Messina last night. She's a nice looking ship but is exclusively geared toward the German cruise market.
At 6.30 there is a soft rap at the door. Room service. We ordered breakfast as we didn't want the rush of getting showered and going up to the OCV for breakfast this morning. This way we can eat at leisure then get ready to go ashore. We head towards the theatre just before 8am to pick up our tour group. It's very well organised and we are soon landside boarding our coach.
Our trip today is to Pompeii. This is our third visit to Naples and on the first occasion we took a drive along the Amalfi coast, on the second we went to the island of Capri. So on this trip we decided to visit the ancient ruined city. Our tour guide today is called Vito. A very dapper older guy that all the other tour guides refer to as Corleone for obvious reasons.
We head straight to Pompeii in an effort to beat most of the other tour groups. If anything like the Acropolis in Athens it will be teaming with them in no time. It's about a 30 minute drive from the port. We all have radio headphones so that we can tune into Vito for commentary. He's very good and very funny. He seems to know everyone and everything. He is a wealth of knowledge as you would expect a guide to be.
We first visit the barracks where the gladiators were house and trained and then into the small acoustically perfect amphitheatre. Vito goes into detail on how they achieved such perfect acoustics but I don't recall the exact process. Impressive though for 2000 years ago. So is the plumbing and irrigation. We see the many bars that are still mostly intact apart from their roofs which caved in from the weight of the ash and pumice from the volcanic explosion of 79ad. Vito explains how to spot which are brothels (it involves a phallic symbol in the road).
We enter one house that contains the remains of a pregnant woman. Early excavations that uncovered bodies soon found that when dug up they disintegrated immediately. They came up with a way of preserving them by drilling holes and pouring in plaster of paris which is then left to set. What you then see is a perfect cast of the body with the skeleton still inside. Apparently they have uncovered over 3000 bodies. Most of the other 12,000 that died would have been vaporised instantly depending on where they were at the time of the explosion.
We enter the communal bathing area that has a cold room followed by a tepid and then hot room. All brilliantly designed from the way that the condensed steam is collected on the ceiling and directed down the side to be used again.
We travel along ancient roads to a large mansion with mosiac flooring, dining rooms and gardens. A cute satyr statue stands exactly where he did thousands of years ago overlooking the entrance to the property. I wonder how many visitors he has witnessed enter over the years? We then enter the Forum which is what we would call a main square today and a gathering place for the inhabitants of Pompeii. It offers very good views up to Vesuvius, the instrument of its eventual destruction.
After this fascinating trip we head back to our coach and the journey back into Naples. Rather than board the ship we head into Naples itself for lunch. We find a Pizzaria and I order a Margherita. Apparently the only legitimate pizza in the town that invented this dish. All other variations are not considered a true pizza. It's a good pizza. We then have coffees in a roadside cafe before boarding Reflection where I start the onerous task of packing. Not my favourite part of the cruise experience.
We dress for dinner making sure our cases are outside our cabin before we leave. Luckily there are two empty seats at the Martini Bar where I order my usual Sunset Martini followed by a Tropitini. Peter has a Lemon Drop and then a Sapphire Collintini. Keen to experience one last sunset we head up to the Sunset Bar. It's the best evening of the whole cruise. Relaxed ambient music is playing, there is a soft breeze and folk are pretty chilled. We dinner again in Qsine. We have better seats than last time, right next to the window with fabulous views over to Italy as we head north. The food once again is excellent. We order a few of what we had last time but swapped out the Disco Shrimp and Royal Tacos for the Meatball Madness. One of the three large meatballs that came was ok, we didn't care for the other two. We manage dessert this time. I have the silver bullet, literally a large silver bullet filled with sorbet and gelato. Peter has cheescaketini (I actually don't know what he had so made that name up).
Once again we waddle out of the restaurant. Luckily it's only a short waddle to the Ensemble Lounge where we get some brandies to help with digestion. We leave as the jazz band starts playing soon after we sit. I don't like jazz music. We decide to get some bottled water and then head to bed. The end of a fantastic cruise on a fantastic cruise ship. The staff, the ports and the people we met meant it was one of the best cruises we have taken. Less than 22 weeks till the next one.

I have now ridden ~700 miles on Speedy, some notes:
- Fuel warning light comes on after ~3.2 gallons burned, with a 4.76 gallon tank; that's only at 67%!
- 3.2 gallons gets me between 100-130 miles, or 31-40mpg; Prius is winning at 47-50mpg
- Stock seat means a stretch is required after about 3 hours, just in time to get more gas
- Passenger seat is small, pegs are high, but if pillion is 5′3″ and very cute, she will fit
- Front wheel pops up easy in first, but not enough in second; sprocket change?
- Stock suspension sucks, progressive fork springs need to be replaced
- Throttle response is abrupt, am going to adjust cable tension and see
- TORS exhaust sounds just incredible!!

Again, Boomers rock. What a wonderful night it was as Boomers held their Fall Festival at Charlie's Pizza on Nov. 13.
Classic Rock band Dean Agus and The Legacy provided a night of extremely enjoyable and dance-able music—and enjoy and dance we did.
Charlie's provided a pizza buffet with a variety of delicious pizza to help Boomers keep their strength as they danced the night away.
One of the highlights of the evening came with the dance floor full and the competition for the longest married couple began. Couples began being eliminated from the dance floor at 5 years and, as the years of marriage increased, couples sat down.
At 40 years, the competition was strong; however, at the end of the dance, the winners were Ellen and Darryl Tucker with 51 years of wedded bliss. Hats off and congratulations to them. It truly was a night enjoyed by old and new friends alike.
As usual, Boomer paparazzi Lynn Winningham was on hand taking pictures to preserve this great evening, so go to the Boomers Facebook page to see all of the pictures.
Don't miss out on the next event, Christmas gala, on Dec. 12. Tickets are limited and going fast. Remember, Boomers membership has its privileges.

Since the mid-1960s, Southern California artist John McCracken—a contemporary of Donald Judd—has been a leading voice of Minimalist sculpture. His monochromatic fiberglass and resin sculptures (that are worked to a high and nearly translucent polish) are iconic pieces of this genre. Sketchbook, published concurrently with an exhibition at David Zwirner in New York, presents the first of two treasured sketchbooks that McCracken used from the mid-60s until the mid-70s. These pages show his thought processes, insights, and working sketches—all of which pre-date and presage his later work. The format, paper and reproduction quality of the book have been designed to faithfully reproduce in facsimile the original pages from this fascinating document. A supplemental booklet, bound separately and inserted into a pocket in the back of the book, shows the sculptures in their realized form. Pushing the boundaries between art and architecture while manipulating the psychological and physiological processes inherent in abstraction, McCracken has carved out a unique niche within Minimalism that is tinged with the philosophical and metaphysical.
About the Artist
John McCracken (1934-2011) attended the California College of Arts & Crafts in Oakland from 1957–1965. He has been a professor at both the University of California at Los Angeles and Santa Barbara as well as SVA in New York City. McCracken is represented by David Zwirner in New York. His work is in numerous collections worldwide. He lived and worked in New Mexico.
About the Author
Neville Wakefield is an independent curator, critic and editor based in New York. He recently curated Defamation of Character, an international group exhibition on show until January 2007 at MOMA/PS1 in New York. In 2006 he co-founded and co-produced "Destricted," a series of films about the representation of sexuality in art. He was appointed Curator of Frieze Projects at Frieze Art Fair in 2006.

Our Lalmin®, Engevita®, and Yesto-Seal® (100% whole-cell Saccharomyces cerevisiae) yeast products complement one another to help you create the nutritional profile you require for your dietary supplements.
Our nutritional yeasts are produced by converting and/or enhancing the yeasts' natural endogenous micronutrients to attain measurable levels of vitamins and/or minerals. These ensure the yeasts' dosage of essential micronutrients, so Lallemand's nutritional yeasts can contribute significant amounts of bioavailable micronutrients essential for optimal nutrition.
Lallemand Health Ingredients products are suitable for a portfolio of applications such as:

Commercial Brands:
Lalmin® – Mineral and vitamins enriched yeast
Lalmin® mineral and vitamin yeasts are inactivated whole cell yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) product containing elevated levels of specific minerals and/or vitamins. Lalmin® is produced either by enhancing and converting the natural endogenous vitamin of the yeast, or by supplementing the natural yeast fermentation with measured levels of minerals and/or vitamins. The yeast cream is then pasteurized and dried. This process allows selected micronutrients to interact with the yeast cell components. The gentle processing conditions allow preservation of essential nutrients from yeast.
Yesto-Seal® – Mineral and vitamins tableting yeast
Yesto-Seal® are brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) products that are specifically designed for tableting. Brewer's yeast is a natural ingredient which is traditionally produced by washing, recovering and drying the yeast propagated during the production of beer. The yeast is dried at a controlled temperature which stops biological activity whilst maintaining its unique nutritional properties. Brewer's yeast contains a natural mixture of high-grade protein, vitamins and minerals and provides an excellent cost effective source of ingredients to enhance the nutritional value of foodstuffs. Some products in the Yesto-Seal® range are Kosher and Halal certified, non-GMO, and clean label.
The Yesto-Seal® range also includes a SO2 free version as well as version free from major allergens.

Quite. Probably (in my estimation) the easiest way to start hacking you will want to practice with spyware specially keyloggers and just digital surveillance so you do not have to do tons of bullshit instead of just keylogging and reading a days logfile. Trojans might also work but in my estimation they, if located by antivirus, will be removed forcefully not quarantined and if you have a virus quarantined then you might be able to get it undone but a remove kinda screws you.Aiden wrote:I'm not a pro or anything at it, but I know enough to get you started on researching. You could go about it different ways. If you have access to the computer (public computers), I've heard it mentioned somewhere else that you can get the password file (.pwd) and use l0phtcrack to crack the passwords. Another way would be to install either a software or hardware keylogger.shleepy wrote:i was wondering if anyone could direct me to the path of hacking other peoples computers, something like password obtaining.
Please someone else, correct me if I'm wrong on something. Just trying to help him out.
Anyways, do your research on google for l0phtcrack, keyloggers, .pwd files (?), and other programs you might need. Although I would recommend writing most of the programs yourself so you can specify exactly what you want them to do. (And to not be a script kiddie :D )

By eTail West.
When the four founders of US-based retro shorts retailers Chubbies graduated from university, they worried for the traditional lazy weekends of their youth. It seemed with the working week getting progressively longer, there was less time for people to relax and do the things they enjoyed, instead being forced to settle for extra helpings of work pressures and stress.
"The weekend has definitely become endangered," co-founder Tom Montgomery bemoans. "Are there bigger problems on Earth? Absolutely. But it really bothers me that people are constantly frustrated and stressed, and not taking time to relax and care for themselves."
The connection was made between carefree youthful exuberance and the wearing of shorts – shorts being the casual antithesis to the smart pairs of pants most working people must wear. And so Chubbies was born. After some initial success selling shorts out of backpacks, Chubbies was ready to take the act online, and subsequently opened its ecommerce store with Shopify.
"We wanted to sell our lifestyle to people," Montgomery says. "When we decided to start this business, we wanted to sell the notion of fun and embody that in every pair of shorts we sold. […] We saw an intense reaction, we sold out quickly and afterward people were offering to trade their shorts for the ones we were wearing."

Belle Plaine MN 56011 Inpatient Alcohol Rehab For Two Weeks?
The treatment you get will be different based upon the drug you are addicted to. However no matter what your drug is, you have to make certain you are working hard to remain away from it. Sometimes it is essential to move far in order to beat the dependency that you are suffering with. Lots of have actually discovered that treatment is up to 3 hundred times more effective when they transfer.
Investigators believe the teenagers "never ever saw it coming," stated police spokeswoman Laura McElroy. Both were killed with a.38-caliber pistol. The arrest affidavit said the weapon was acquired five days earlier, WPTV news reports.
Inpatient Drug Rehab Uninsured
Drug or Alcohol Rehab: In many cases it has been discovered that the culprit is addicted to drug or alcohol. , if the offense is a result of this addiction prison time will most likely do no great to you.. Because case you might be sent to the drug or alcohol inpatient rehabilitation centers rather of prison.
And ye shall become aware of wars and reports of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, however completion is not yet. For nation will rise versus nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there will be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers locations. All these are the beginning of sadness.
Yeah, fine, it's more complicated than that, you say. But you know what? I would bet that a quite high percentage of people taking drugs for one thing or another have not actually attempted those other services. Is it going to take drug detox, inpatient drug rehab or a check out to the ER to encourage people that it might be an excellent idea to try an option to drugs?

July 6th this year there was a hearing and the judge declared that Lohan did violate her parole and she needed to serve 90 days in jail. The judge likewise bought her to do 90 days in an inpatient rehab program. Lindsay Lohan served just 2 Week in prison in late July and she was right away taken to a UCLA program where she spent just 23 days. She was bought to send to random drug screening – once again.
The drug was named cheese because it looks like parmesan cheese. The drug is typically snorted and can be extremely addictive. With a lot of different dealerships making the drug, the amount of heroin per hit frequently differs. While the majority of hits are 3% heroin, some will have up to 8% heroin. This leads to kids, who have had moderate drug experiences they could manage with their very first couple of hits, having actually to be rushed to the emergency clinic from overdosing.
Opiate addiction treatment can just be done in a world class opiate rehabilitation, like the Drug Rehab Sundown Malibu. Although opiate addiction treatment is a very slow and tough process, proper care and treatment can cure a patient. Without appropriate care, it is tough for the patient to get rid of opiate withdrawal effects. The conclusion is that, we need to stop pain reliever addiction and take any action had to stop it.

First Books in Popular Series
Steven Brust
Agent of Change
Sharon Lee and Steve Miller
The Tyranny of the Night
Glen Cook
Despite my stated intention to finish multiple ongoing series, about all I have accomplished this year is to start several new ones. Go me. In my defense, those looked at here are two long-running series that come highly recommended and a third by a very trusted author. The Vlad Taltos books have been on my radar for awhile, so I was happy to find the first two volumes at a library sale. The Liaden Universe must be doing something right, since it's well into twenty books by now. (Or maybe more. I lost count.) Finally, anything Glen Cook touches is gold, so The Instrumentalities of Night pretty much has to be good, especially with that name. I suppose this means that series completion will have to wait for another day, so let's all bow to the inevitable and enjoy my irresponsibility.
Jhereg (Steven Brust) – Lots of people rave about these books and Vlad appears to be a favorite of the fantasy crowd. I'm sure he's not the original super-cool, slightly rebellious but actually a nice guy assassin type, but he does pre-date the widespread subgenre shark jumping that followed R.A. Salvatore's Drizzt, and that counts for something. Jhereg came out in 1983, about five years before my serious fantasy reading commenced, but somehow escaped my notice at the time. While I don't know enough about fantasy to accurately place Brust in the assassin/thief subgenre continuum, as best I can tell, he was writing the stuff before it was cool. This makes Jhereg hipster fantasy; all it needs is a dapper hat and ironic facial hair.
I digress. The story itself is light and fun. It's the Chips Ahoy cookie of fantasy, if one makes a bizarre comparison of a literary genre to baked goods. It goes down quick and easy, doesn't require a big investment of time or money, but comes up a bit lacking in depth when placed next to something more challenging. I have no real complaints with the book, but I wouldn't use the word "weighty" to describe it. Oddly enough, one can see plenty of meatier themes on reflection: there is a lengthy and complicated history in Brust's world and everything moves against a backdrop of ethnic conflict and discrimination. The plot is a jaunty caper though, skipping lightly across the surface with flashes of sarcastic wit and wry narration.
I will definitely continue this particular series, even though the first book didn't come across as one for the ages. I liked it and want to read more, though I don't think Brust is hitting his stride yet.
Agent of Change (Sharon Lee and Steve Miller) – Both this book and the series it opens seem to be the SF counterparts to Vlad Taltos. Popular, multi-volume series that somehow stayed off my radar, fast paced and frothy opener, promise of later greatness….Again, there isn't much in the first book that makes me expect a demand for twenty follow-ups. Agent of Change was a fun read, but it didn't seem like a book to launch a major franchise. I guess that's why I'm not an acquisitions editor for a major publisher, because Lee and Miller have built their careers on the Liaden Universe. That alone guarantees that I will keep reading; I want to know what all the fuss is about.
I should probably offer a more intelligent mini-review, but alas I haven't retained a whole lot of this one. I keep mixing up in my head with Catherine Asaro's first book, for no discernible reason. Curious readers can expect more incisive commentary when I get to the second book. I promise.
The Tyranny of the Night (Glen Cook) – Does anyone out there write fantasy that sounds more like Scandinavian death metal records than Glen Cook? Seriously, anything with major characters called "The Instrumentalities of the Night" is begging for gaunt Swedes to record sprawling and pompous concept albums about it, especially if they are signed artists for "The Black Company" or something. I need to make this happen.
However, Cook's novel is nothing of the sort. It is about 12th Century Europe, if 12th Century Europe had magic, angry elder gods, and an impending ice age. I noticed many parallels while reading, and even more when checking out reviews by bloggers more informed than I. Those parallels help the reader navigate the early infodumps and prevent drowning in the deep waters Cook tosses us into. I expect this series to amp up the butt kicking as it goes on; for now a lot of things feel introductory. There's a lot of ground to lay before everything explodes, so Tyranny requires a little patience. There are still severed heads and flying limbs, but not before much ink is spilt in exposition.
Cook also writes very short sentences. And fragments. It's very distracting. Most of the time. I have no idea why he chose to do this, as I didn't notice the tendency in any other of his books. I found it annoying, but maybe there are artistic reasons. They don't get completely in the way of the story, though I found it hard to tune the writing style out. It's not a deal breaker though, since everything else is plenty entertaining.
I will also continue this series, because I trust Glen Cook. If this is half as good as the other Cook books I have read, it will be well worth the time. I hope that the investment pays off in later books, since this first one could be a bit of a slog. I think it will though.

There is not a one size fits all answer as everyone has a different skin type with differing concerns. So I followed the question with my own question, as you do.
How would you describe your skin type and what age group do you fall into?
Answer: Combination skin, early 20's.
Combination skin tends to have an oily T zone – forehead, nose and chin – and dry/normal areas on the cheeks. The pores tend to be larger on the T zone which produce more oil and shine on the surface of the skin. Early 20's would fall into the young skin bracket, so we'd expect supple, plump and firm skin.
In addition to your CTM routine I would recommend the following.
A steam will warm up your face to open pores and dislodge dry skin and you can do this on a daily basis whilst cleansing with a flannel. Simply run hot water over the flannel (as hot as your hand can stand without scalding, we don't want any burns!), wring and lay on your face. (make sure its not too hot, again I worry about scalding!) This is a an extremely gentle steaming method, but highly effective. Leave super-duper steams to your facialist who by the way you should be seeing on a monthly basis. If you aren't, start now because all skin types benefits from a deep clean!
You need to exfoliation to remove dead skin cells that have been dislodged through your gentle steam and are just hanging on. Dermalogica's Daily Microfoliant is perfect for combination skin and all time favourite. Its rice based enzyme scrub so its gentle enough to use everyday. Gritty exfoliators are a big no-no as they'll only vex your skin.
When it comes to masks, I don't subscribe to a one size fits all mantra. I truly believe with combination skin you have to tackle the different areas in isolation and there's nothing strange or extravagant about using two different types of masks.
On the T zone a clay based mask is best. This will soak up oil straight up out of the pores to purify and help mattify the skin. Depending on how oily your T zone is every 2 – 3 days should suffice. One of the best for general day-to-day maintenance is Garnier Pure 3 in 1 Wash-Scrub-Mask which contains kaolin – the oil absorber.
On dry cheeks or other generally dry areas, you want something that's going to moisturise and hydrate your skin deep within. 1 or 2 times a week should be fine. I would recommend something along the lines of Weleda Wild Rose Intensive Facial Masque. It will brighten any dull skin and balance moisture levels.
See products here.
Having said this, it really very important to pay close attention to your skin and listen to it. Feed your skin what it needs and set your own standard for your personal skin care.

Seattle Mariners pitcher Felix Hernandez threw a perfect game Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Hernandez had 12 strikeouts in the 1-0 win.
This is the third perfect game this season and the 23rd in MLB history.
It's the first time three perfect games have been thrown in a season. Chicago White Sox right-hander Philip Humber pitched one April 22 and Matt Cain of the San Francisco Giants did it June 13.
It's the fourth no-hitter in Mariners history and the second this season. Kevin Millwood and five Mariner relievers combined to no-hit the Los Angeles Dodgers on June 8.
The San Diego Padres are the only major league team not to have thrown a no-hitter.
