5 masculine, organic, decaying stars 8th Favorite Read of 2016 Do not make the mistake that this book is about love This book is about muchcommon vices Vices that masquerade for love.Jealousy, obsession, desire, pity and vengeance.Perpetually selfish penises promising but only perjuring voluminous misunderstood vaginas.Men using women that use men.The demise of the body, civilization, disease, poverty, stolen riches, subservience, slavery.Sexual abuse in the guise of parental guidance Smothering overindulgent mothers psychologically killing sons and maiming daughters.Beauty and comfort for the very few Shades of skin as important as class and wealth.Narcissism, poetry and empty years of mindless despair.Rot, sickeningly sweet perfumes, theft and unknown history.Oh no, do not misunderstand this book is not about love Anything but. I don t like this book.I don t like the characters This was going to be a list, but then I realized that this is the only reason I have Florentino Ariza is a baby Seriously, his mom gives him whatever he wants, and she tries to make everything all right for him, and he is very, very if he lived today, he would be one of those emo kids with the dyed black hair and the eye liner and the journals full of bad poetry he does write bad poetry, in the book , all Nobody gets me, and just a grating, time sucking, high maintenance type He rationalizes his behavior in whatever way he can, so he never feels that he is doing anything wrong.I grew impatient with him fairly quickly I wanted to wring him by his neck and yell, GET OVER IT I have no tolerance for that kind of behavior.Sometime during the Seduction of the 600, it says that Florentino Ariza thought that when a woman said no, she really meant something else that s a paraphrase This is another thing I have no tolerance for So, when he persisted in his attentions to Fermina Daza, even after she d made her own feelings quite clear TWICE , and she came around to his way of thinking, it justified his behavior I don t think he should be rewarded for that I think he should be kicked to the curb.Fermina Daza was almost likable I was almost there with her, but then I realized that there wasn t anything really likable about her She was efficient and organized, she was well behaved, and she was boring Why did men love her What did she have to offer I DON T KNOW.I did like Juvenal Urbino Of course he dies in the first chapter.It seemed to me that the book dragged on FOREVER I kept looking ahead to the end of a chapter and sighing, Forty twopages The chapters are long Even though two weeks doesn t seem like a long time, it s a long time for ME to be reading a book, particularly one that isn t a thousand pages long and written in Elizabethan English.I didn t think this was any kind of love story Like Wuthering Heights, it sa love gone wrong story, or an obsession story none of the characters really displayed any of the traits that I would associate with love, one which the chief one, I would say is selflessness None of them were willing to put anyone else above themselves, and maybe that s why I didn t particularly care for them, or for this book.I ve written ain depth review here. I previously read One Hundred Years of Solitude and I liked it a lot, and I was intruiged by the title Love in the Time of Cholera so I thought I d read it.Within the first few pages I had the inkling I didn t like it, but sometimes it takes books a little while to get warmed up Plus, I don t like starting a book and not finishing it, because I know I ll never go back to a book I stopped reading because I didn t like it, and if I stop reading it, I ll never know if I would have liked the rest of it So I forged ahead and completed the whole book.First off, the magical realism that made 100 yrs of Solitude so gripping was not as prevalent in Cholera I actually only saw it a few times in the entire novel, unless it was so well done that it was just perfectly woven into the book and I didn t notice I doubt that thoughbut this was easy to get over I mean, it s a different book, so it was bound to be, well, different from 100Solitude But I guess my conservative religious side was riled up by the rest of the book It portrays everyone as being incredibly sex oriented Men, women, everyone And not morally so, if you know what I mean Everyone sleeps around, while married and while unmarried And the tone of the book seemed to be saying that that s expected quite frankly, like thesex a person has, most of the time with thepeople, thenormal and in some ways thegifted they are I m generalizing quite a bit, not getting into the specifics of the story and my reactions to them, however.Now this book is on Oprah s book club list and she said it s the greatest love story she s ever heard Alrightif a good love story equals someone waiting for their true love, where waiting means having sex with everything that moves And now they re making a movie The tag says Florentino, rejected by the beautiful Fermina at a young age, devotes much of his adult life to carnal affairs as a desperate attempt to heal his broken heart I guess I can see how you can read the book that way I guess I just don t prefer books where carnal affairs are the center And I didn t read it that way It didn t seem to me that the carnal affairs were a desperate attempt to heal his broken heart They seemed like he just wanted to have sex in the meantime SOMEWHAT SPOILER ALERT BUT NOT REALLY you cannot declare yourself a virgin just b c you didn t love the hundreds of people you had sex with before your one true love What bothered me I think was that in the end, I couldn t tell if the novel was condoning a life of promiscuity as long as it leads to one true love, or if it was condemning its character s behavior in some ways I tend to lean towards thinking it wasn t really condemning it though I probably missed something, I m sure Because not being sure what a book was saying is not usually the book s fault.In some ways it should have been titled Sex in the Time of Cholera, because the term love was used instead of sex almost constantly, and obviously, those are two very different things. Can unrequited love last a lifetime That s the premise of this book A 76 year old man pines for a woman all his life Now her husband has died Does he still have a chance Actually they were in love as teenagers, but they mostly exchanged secret notes She was guarded by her nanny and when her father discovered the relationship, he took his daughter away for three years It worked When they returned the young girl no longer loved the boy and she married a man who became a prominent and wealthy doctor The doctor s claim to fame was cleaning up the Colombian city of the open sewers that led to the disease In 1900 we re told the man is 40, so you can figure out the time frame He has an uncle who runs the local steamboat river shipping company He starts out sweeping the docks, becomes a clerk, and over the years eventually rises to manager As he does so, he attends various cultural events in the city and occasionally sees his beloved She and her husband are the most socially prominent people in the city Sometimes he gets a smile or a nod from her sometimes not Meanwhile he visits prostitutes and has long standing affairs with several women Some aren t sexual He even has an affair with his 14 year old niece, ending in tragedy.The story alternates between his story and hers The constant civil wars of Colombia are a background to the story Finally her husband dies and, having not talked with her for 51 years, he makes his move There is excellent writing as we would expect Some passages I liked He was still too young to know that the heart s memory eliminates the bad and magnifies the good, and thanks to this artifice we manage to endure the burden of the past At one point the woman learns her husband has been unfaithful and he admits it and weeps She is disappointed because he did not do what she had hoped he would do deny everything, and swear on his life it was not true, and grow indignant at the false accusation even when confronted with crushing proofs of his disloyalty She was a ghost in a strange house that overnight had become immense and solitary and through which she wandered without purpose, asking herself in anguish which of them was deader the man who had died or the woman he had left behind Always remember that the most important thing in a marriage is not happiness, but stability No, I m not rich, he said, I am a poor man with money which is not the same thing An excellent book I had read this years ago and I should have re read it sooner A classic from the master of Latin American literature that I will add to my favorites Photos from

First Declared His Love For Fermina, He Will Do So Again 236 El amor en los tiempos del c lera Love in the time of cholera, Gabriel Garc a M rquezLove in the Time of Cholera Spanish El amor en los tiempos del c lera is a novel by Nobel prize winner Colombian author Gabriel Garc a M rquez first published in Spanish in 1985 Alfred A Knopf published an English translation in 1988, and an English language movie adaptation was released in 2007 The main characters of the novel are Florentino Ariza and Fermina Daza Florentino and Fermina fall in love in their youth A secret relationship blossoms between the two with the help of Fermina s Aunt Escol stica They exchange several love letters However, once Fermina s father, Lorenzo Daza, finds out about the two, he forces his daughter to stop seeing Florentino immediately When she refuses, he and his daughter move in with his deceased wife s family in another city Regardless of the distance, Fermina and Florentino continue to communicate via telegraph However, upon her return, Fermina realizes that her relationship with Florentino was nothing but a dream since they are practically strangers she breaks off her engagement to Florentino and returns all his letters A young and accomplished national hero, Dr Juvenal Urbino, meets Fermina and begins to court her Despite her initial dislike of Urbino, Fermina gives in to her father s persuasion and the security and wealth Urbino offers, and they wed Urbino is a medical doctor devoted to science, modernity, and order and progress He is committed to the eradication of cholera and to the promotion of public works He is a rational man whose life is organized precisely and who greatly values his importance and reputation in society He is a herald of progress and modernization Even after Fermina s engagement and marriage, Florentino swore to stay faithful and wait for her However, his promiscuity gets the better of him Even with all the women he is with, he makes sure that Fermina will never find out Meanwhile, Fermina and Urbino grow old together, going through happy years and unhappy ones and experiencing all the reality of marriage At an elderly age, Urbino attempts to get his pet parrot out of his mango tree, only to fall off the ladder he was standing on and die After the funeral, Florentino proclaims his love for Fermina once again and tells her he has stayed faithful to her all these years Hesitant at first because of the advances he made to a newly made widow, Fermina eventually gives him a second chance They attempt a life together, having lived two lives separately for over five decades Urbino s function in the novel is to contrast with Florentino Ariza and his archaic and boldly romantic love Urbino proves in the end not to have been an entirely faithful husband, confessing one affair to Fermina many years into their marriage Though the novel seems to suggest that Urbino s love for Fermina was never as spiritually chaste as Florentino Ariza s was, it also complicates Florentino s devotion by cataloging his many trysts as well as a few potentially genuine loves By the end of the book, Fermina comes to recognize Florentino s wisdom and maturity, and their love is allowed to blossom during their old age 1995 1369 508 1373 512 20 1383 525 1388 1385 542 1385 520 1393 520 . DNF at page 218 This is tough for me to admit I hate not finishing books but I cannot carry on with this any longer when I am not enjoying it and I have so many other books I could be reading instead The writing is tedious Focused on a man rejected when he was young and his infatuation with this woman for years afterwards He sleeps with numerous other women, as we are shown in detail His first love marries another, but he still cannot move on His obsession borders on the creepy, he never really knew her that well in the beginning anyway let alone to call it true love I m fed up, so I m giving up No rating. This review is now also available at The Bombay Literary Magazine TBLM The Infinite Capacity for Illusion The words I am about to express They now have their own crowned goddess. THE INFINITE CAPACITY FOR ILLUSION Whither The MagicOne Hundred Years of Solitudeis one of my favorite novels Which is why, when I started reading Love in the Time of Cholera, one of the things I noticed immediately was the lack of the subtle brand of magic that I had so enjoyed I missed it and was on the lookout for it I wanted it badly and went around every corner with the expectation of a cheerful reunion But it was not to be.As Pynchon says the reality of love and the possibility of its ultimate extinction become Love s indispensable driving forces, whereas magic in all its guises and forms becomes peripheralized or at leastthoughtfully deployed in the service of an expanded vision, matured, darker than before but no less clement Why this marginalization of the extraordinary Why this deliberate move towards realism Why no Magic I kept asking myself this as I read, and beyond Was I to understand that it is because Love in itself is Magic That was too cheesy, even for M rquez who never shies from telling me a cheesy sub story if it needs to be told.Or is it because Love in the Time of Cholera is to seen as the product of aexperienced author, who no longer needs the resources of magic realism and hyperbole to surprise the reader One thing was sure, Love in the Time of Cholera is not only about Love, even when it pervades every page Indeed, it covers, through its characters wide amorous and business interests, an entire era and all the social classes, spanning over fifty years of Latin American life, from the last decades of the nineteenth century to the first two or three of the twentieth Love in the Time of Cholera, while on a much smaller scale thanOne Hundred Years of Solitude, deals with the Colombian civil wars of this period and the violence left in its wake M rquez however wants these historical and political concerns to be passed largely unnoticed by the reader While One Hundred Years of Solitude disguises the political themes through the uses of myth, fantasy, hyperbole, and magic realism, Love in the Time of Cholera disguises them through its depiction of an eternal, sometimes exasperating, almost unrealistic love affair, one which flouts the conventions of every love story the reader might have come across Love in the Time of Cholera is often quite bleak due to this veering towards stark Realism, to this occasional historical invasion of the narrative Much of this realism arises from Death and Decay the central themes of the novel However, M rquez does not completely give up on Idealism either In fact he is neither an Idealistic or a Realistic author he is just a supremely eloquent voice speaking from the vantage point of his own old age and wisdom.To me, Love in the Time of Cholera is a magnificently gloomy novel though M rquez s masterful sorcery masks it well, with his verbal cascades of descriptions and his narrative s seductiveness.M rquez s novels are almost invariably gloomy They are apocalyptic They are decadence distilled Then why the popularity Why do we love them Why are we uplifted Is it because of M rquez s enthusiastic exuberance I think it is because of the Quixotic Heroism of the people who populate these doomed worlds.It is this heroism that veils the Apocalyptic forebodings that pack so densely like storm clouds throughout the firmament his novels.After all, Consider how during the entire time he waits to talk to Fermina again fifty one years, nine months, and four days Florentine Ariza is dauntless and never ever gives up even the slightest sliver of hope Nothing could shake this manAnd how long do you think we can keep up this goddamn coming and going he asked.Florentino Ariza had kept his answer ready for fifty three years, seven months, and eleven days and nights Forever, he said. The Heart of Darkness Death Decay There is so much I would like to say about this amazing novel There are so many themes that could be explored But in this review I will try to focus on the Beginning and the Ending of this intricately structured novel, and try to tease out the the thread that explains the absence of Magic The whole novel is too broad a canvas to be explored in a review For this, I limit myself to the broad themes of Death, Decay Redemption, and allow the political, ecological, societal and personal aspects of these themes to play themselves out below the current, so to speak.The Institutions of Love Inventing Love He was aware that he did not love her He had married her because he liked her haughtiness, her seriousness, her strength, and also because of some vanity on his part, but as she kissed him for the first time he was sure there would be no obstacle to their inventing true love They did not speak of it that first night, when they spoke of everything until dawn, nor would they ever speak of it But in the long run, neither of them had made a mistake. The theme of Juvenal s love story is about the incompatibility of love and social convention, the conflict between desire and social life It is quite easily the crucial conundrum the novel wants to solve the other to the novel s essence Security, order, happiness can these when added together in the right proportions provide an equation for Love For the sort of Love that can stop the decay that seems to have beset the entire world Apparently not It is not enough.Through Juvenal s invented Love, M rquez is not simply criticizing the institution of marriage, instead he is criticizing the very illusion that allows this the illusion that the world and the worldly goods and pleasures can produce Love Instead M rquez wants to show that it is Love that can create or recreate the world.Ultimately Love is love of Love itself, not merely the desire for its actual attainment or even the act of its fulfillment Passion is its own object.Pitted against such an impossible ideal, all convention or institutionalization obstructs love s ultimate goal, which is to forestall death and decay.The ultimate goal of Love is to save the world, to create it anew.Gerontophobia Ecocide Destroying LoveSo why is this world so much in need of saving The cosmic decline in Love seems to be the cause for alarm, the cause for the pervasive decay that invades the world of the novel Everything in this novel, from the environment, to the city, to the rebels, to the civil wars, to the people, to the pets are ancient as if they were part of this earth from the very beginning, but everybody is in the throes of love And everything ancient is also decaying, sliding slowly towards the final end of death so is the sadness and the conventional love represented by Juvenal.But it is not just about the human lives M rquez writes as much about places as about people This one is also about the death of a river, of a town, of a society or murder, rather Of Nature s Old Age inflicted prematurely by youthful humanity.This is the ecological sub theme of the novel It is the river, finally, the Great Magdalena in Spanish, the river of life that highlights this for us The abundant nature that surrounds the town is caught in a process of irreversible decay Alligators, manatees, monkeys, and birds disappear from the jungle toward the end, the riverboats have difficulty finding enough wood for their boilers While the political urgency of this topic is clear, cosmic decline in Love in the Time of Cholera has a different meaning and is linked to the theme of the interruption of love discussed before.Paralleling the old age of his characters with the decay envisioned by this ecological wasteland of their own making , M rquez is pointing out to us the true nature of Decay of Humans and their self inflicted sufferings bringing the decay of old age upon themselves and upon the whole of nature.This is the central tenet of the novel Love in the Time of Decay.However, there isAnd M rquez is not afraid to set this counter theme out in the very opening scene itself The Sweet Smell of Bitter Almonds Counter to the dark theme of decay that is to be developed for most of the rest of the plot, early in the novel, an act of brave revolt against this inevitability establishes the counter current against the steady march of decay J r miah de Saint Amour soon forgotten and never again mentioned takes this revolutionary step again drawing our attention the continuous revolution in which the political life of the novel is set by choosing to die before decay sets in This act initiates the long debate that runs throughout the novel about Love and its objective are we to preserve Love at the expense of Life or to preserve Life through Love By raising this question so early, by calculating his suicide long beforehand, by choosing to end the world than to let it go to rot, to see it rot, Saint Amour stays alive through the rest of the novel, haunting it Being a witness to the decay of love was the most unbearable to Saint Amour, the Saint of Love What we see dramatized at the end of the book, however, is the possibility of genuine passion and romance in old age There is a clear contrast between Saint Amour s suicide and the protracted love life of Florentino Ariza, but it is a contrast that conceals a profound affinity Saint Amour kills himself to preserve his body from decay, to fix its image, as it were, through death.Love and decay, then, constitute the double focus of this novel, the former being present in countless ways throughout Love in The Time of CholeraThe Post Apocalyptic Paradisehis mother was terrified because his condition did not resemble the turmoil of love so much as the devastation of cholera. Every page of this novel is rammed full of love, beyond the capacity of any reader to fully comprehend Love is in the air like Malaria and in the water, like Cholera its infections are inescapable All aspects of love are covered in exquisite detail from teenage love to old age from sexual to rapine to platonic from formal courtship to marital to unconsummated to unrequited love to the excesses of suicide and adultery from the mundane normalcy of love to the incestuous abnormalities.The reader has to consider carefully in the midst of this overwhelming abundance and variety the treatment that M rquez gives to love in this novel Love in the novel is not the purely romantic love carefree, easy flowing, spontaneous, and idealized.Instead, the novel s great affirmation of romance, is in the face not just of a hostile or prosaic world, but of the darker side of romance itself.It is Operatic, Quixotic Dionysian Love that is celebrated It is Love as the Second Coming Sailing The River of Love The Voyage of Re Birth Youth, Love, Old Age Death The Four Unknowns This should have been the order of Life.However, in this world of M rquez, the only ages that can hope to be able love live seem to the Young and the Old In between lies the desert the only time we are allowed to live when not capable of love It is a paradox on which the very survival of this fictional universe seems to depend on.Love and Life cannot coexist then The solution is to give up the life they know for Love To take the ultimate leap of faith.So hoist a yellow flag on the Ship of your Life Second Fidelity and sail on the Great Magdalena in Spanish, the river of life in a State of Emergency Let Love in the Time of Cholera be the entirety of the River of Life Love should now destroy that earlier Life instead, just as Cholera can squeeze it out And then be reborn, afresh.The novel ends with the central characters challenging their entire social world and the very conditions of their existence by their grand romantic gesture, by their final, and what seems like eternal, trip on the Magdalena river This is the necessary reaction to the decay that is fast on the route to complete extinction, to death Love and Cholera will both go extinct otherwise, rooted out by Life. Love is shown as the redeeming force that saves both humanity, nature, culture and history It appears as a divine force that defies everything As if in biblical terms, the novel seems to assert that it is not yet too late to stop the end of humanity and to reach out for grace and happiness.Most importantly, never allow the Yellow Flag to be questioned Sustain the ardor Maintain the symptoms of Cholera Love The pestilence is to be maintained at all costs Only then will the world let you sail on.Of course, the novel ends with the reader wondering if Fermina and Florentino will ever be able to come ashore and exercise their second chance.We are left to question this act for ourselves How do we save the world By Escape into an Unrealistic Fantasy Or is lovereal The answer, at least inside M rquez s world is quite clear.This final triumph is exquisitely multi layered Fermina and Florentino will remain isolated from the real contagion of their earlier Life by allowing their Love to be disguised as Cholera They are not rejecting the world, they are allowing the world to reject them instead.The quarantine is really against love, the sickness that society will not, can not tolerate, the sickness that society fear as much as a deadly epidemic, the sickness that the society fears will wipe it out.Instead it is that very sickness, which is recognized by conventional society as its biggest scourge, that saves the characters from extinction, along with the manatees, the alligators, and the monkeys.It is Love that saves all in the end at least we are left to imagine that possibility Now, in this Post Apocalyptic Paradise, age is of no consequence Life has been transmuted and preserved by Love, like Saint Amour s Love by death.Life has been reborn in the Second Coming of Love Love, in short, will always be in the time of cholera, under the Yellow Flag s protection THE INFINITE CAPACITY FOR ILLUSION The Will to Lyricism So, now we can come back to the question we started with of the Absence of Magic.In One Hundred Years of Solitude, the apocalypse came in spite of Magic, in Love in the Time of Cholera, redemption comes despite its absence Unlike the death that starts off One Hundred Years of Solitude, here that death, the suicide, is ultimately sublimated into love and decay is arrested in its unreality In fact reality has instead been reinvented in their own terms, where previous reality was rejected outright.The capacity for illusion is magic enough to save the world, and our souls This Infinite Capacity for Illusion can bring on the required apocalypse and we can live as if the Kingdom of Heaven Cholera was already here on earth, under that banner of protection Only then can the Magic return. I learned that I will never be a great writer, because sometimes, there are people like Marquez, who manage to write such an amazing piece of art without making it ponderous, pretentious, or difficult It s not really about the plot, is it A guy is in love with a girl, and waits for her for 50 odd years, while conducting his own affairs Here s the thing, though The way the story is told is segue free, almost conversational, but with such sumptuous detail and description, that it can only be explained as an absolute justification specifically for the written word No other format for this story would be good enough It made me crave to read it in the original Spanish, though There were paragraphs that I knew did not carry the same weight in English and this translation is really beautiful that it would have in Spanish Amazing book Really Please read it. One of the few writers I have read who can show sex convincingly on the page, so that it reinforces character and extends action, and doesn t become a narrative sinkhole in which entropy prevails.Depressingly great One of those books one knows one could never write yet still one wishes pointlessly that one could do so.Laden with vivid detail It moves almost flawlessly, from sequence to sequence with nary a foot put wrong in terms of diction or tone.Relentless storytelling, like diamonds pouring endlessly from a sack Enormous reading pleasure A bit too lacrhymose toward the end for my taste, but this is a quibble On the whole a shattering novel despite it conventional structure.Warmly recommended.

Your storage is broken: Lessons from studying modern databases and key-value stores
Dr. Remzi Arpaci-Dusseau from the University of Wisconsin-Madison showed us how the simplest of things, like updating a file on a disk using a file system, is subtly complex and highly error-prone. File systems differ in semantics and the handling of edge cases. Through automated tools, he and his students have uncovered hidden assumptions in highly deployed systems, like Git, on specific file system behaviors that are not always correct. Assumptions can be about atomicity, failure handling, crash consistency guarantees, and more. This talk took us through the nuts and bolts of the lowest levels of storage systems.

As we were waiting on the stair,
For a chance that wasn't there,
We saw a wolf and then a bear,
And third a pregnant mountain hare.
These things have disappeared from our biotically denuded, cartridge case-littered isle. Also apparently under threat is the pregnant human. The honourable member for Waitrose Helensburgh raised the concern that Britain is shrivelling – that is, the human population thereof. Not himself personally, of course, for he is deliberately concentrating all his energy into the head end, ahem, and what becomes of the rest is unimportant. But if the falling reproductive rate of females – currently around 1.8 children per female – continues, ultimately the British will cease to exist as a race. This is not a personal exhortation, of course; all tacitly accept that my eggs are quite addled.
The Party's broad sweep over social issues includes views on abortion. Although there are strong arguments pro, the venerable patron of Paisley Podiatrix would not like to 'undertake' the procedure himself. This is just as well, since his current inventory of surgical implements comprises a dazzling array of sugar-encrusted kitchen utensils and a pair of pliers for stubborn fastenings.
Next the Marks & Spencer-moccasined member asserted that single parents are on the rise. This is simple statistics: as a nation we are losing interest in breeding. Completely missing the point, I countered that people will not stop having sex; life is hard enough. Opinions have changed little since the 60s, when any of Hrabal's young beauties would tell you you might as well be buried alive if the man in your life has a faulty fandangle, which sounds even more, er, galvanising in Czech.
We swivelled our bradawl-like intellects to the ethics of childminders. Mothers are under pressure from the backwash of the suffragette movement to exercise every single one of their hard-won rights. They must return to work full-time as soon as possible. No matter that gender parity is a hormonal beast. Women are entitled to work as long as men, just not for the same pay.
However, women are currently entitled to longer maternity leave. And to wrangle to their heart's delight with the Dostoyevskian dilemma of flexible working patterns. Anything less than full-time remains an admission of inferiority. A lack of professional commitment. So they grasp 'compressed hours' – full-time hours over fewer days. Leaving them a longer 'weekend' to engage in 'compressed hours' full-time parenting. Because if you're working in order to pay somebody to look after your children, like every stage in any process of value conversion, something gets lost.
Consequently, with unanimous support, we propose to introduce both parity of paternity leave, and parity of pressure on fathers to reduce their working hours commensurate with their partners to at most seventy-five percent. Thus, by equally sharing the professional shame of being a parent, we can accelerate the depopulation of Britain, and allow its recolonisation by more intelligent mammals.

Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach – 18 to 20 April
Because of the signing of an agreement on 22 February 2008, by the Indy Racing League, so as to unify open-wheel racing, this year will be the last time fans will see their turbocharged Champ Cars of up to eight hundred horse power perform. And as one era draws to a close, the organizers of the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach have vowed to make this year a racing extravaganza of spectacular proportions. It will reflect back on the memorable moments and drivers that have made the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach a favorite racing event for twenty-five years.
Long Beach, in Southern California, staged its first Formula One Grand Prix on 26 March 1977, through the efforts of Chris Pook. The travel agent and dedicated racing enthusiast hosted a Formula 5000 race eighteen months prior to the Grand Prix, which successfully drew a crowd of forty six thousand spectators. It was a tremendously nerve wrecking time for Pook, who was unsure if he could draw the U.S. Grand Prix race to Long Beach. With a little help, he managed to get the race, and brought the legendary battle between Mario Andretti, Jody Scheckter and Niki Lauda to thousands of spectators and millions of fans across the world.
Other big names in racing, such as Nelson Piquet, Gilles Villeneuve, Jacques Laffite, Alan Jones, Carlos Reutemann, Eddie Cheever and Emerson Fittipaldi, also thrilled the crowds over the following years. In 1984, an agreement was signed for Champ Cars, and in the beginning of this new venture no-one was sure if the race would attract spectators and give them the same racing experience as the Formula One racing did. But again, Mario Andretti climbed behind the wheel, and the crowds went wild. And while the face of Champ Car racing might be changing, Long Beach will always be host to this magnificent event.
Over and above three days of spectacular racing, which takes place between the 18th and the 20th of April 2008, the 34th Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach is set to have an action packed program lined up. Features, such as the Lifestyle Expo will have exhibitors, retail vendors, a family zone filled with simulators, video arcade, games and race cars, with the Expo Arena being the scene of professional skateboarders, bicycle tricksters and motorcyclists. The Support Series Garages at the expo will allow fans to watch cars being repaired, and even catch a glimpse of their favorite driver.
As a street racing event, the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach has become legendary in this category and will continue to bring the excitement and action of racing to the city, and its faithful fans.

At the time of this writing, I am glued to the TV after drifting to sleep at 11:30pm and waking up a dozen times before giving up around 3am. I've been watching the news unfold ever since.
I feel like I have been stuck all week, waiting for answers, waiting to feel better, maybe waiting to get past all of April, and move on. Get going. "In progress". And maybe that is exactly what I'm doing. The nonstop news and twitter feed has been a blessing and a curse. At times, it helps to know what's going on. Then I think of the times before social media when we had to wait for the evening news to get answers. I've sat down several times, trying to get my thoughts together on what to post and my instinct is to NOT post anything. Not yet.
It's going to be a good day. Stay safe and stay strong. Boston Strong.

The past is nothing more than pages written in our book of life. The future is still unwritten (I think those are lyrics to a song). As the pages develop, chapters start and end. Each new page contains another memory.
Barrows Farm has a big, thick book already. To tell the tale will take some time but, eventually I hope to put it all together. There are stories like the family history within the deed. A deed that contains pages dated all the way back to 1850. A deed that contains information on parcels that go all the way back to the Boston Ten Townships purchase. 165 years of heritage contained within those papers, written and documented history of Barrows Farm.
In more recent years, there are stories about farm owners and livestock that bring a smile and shared laughter among the family, tales of buggy rides to Syracuse and how a young man worked with his Grandfather and eventually took over on the farm.
Not all the memories are happy ones. There are tales of government buyouts and the end of a dairy here. There are tales of barn and house fires. Many things have changed over the years, mainly with the last owners occupation. It's hard to express the hardships that have been endured. Granted, I haven't been here for the majority of them.
I've lived here for ten years and I love this place as much as this family does. Someday, I really hope to be able to have the time to sit with Rich's parents to document some of the history. Even if it's only ever to just put together to share with the family for future generations. I think it's something important to be passed down throughout the years, from generation to the next.
As I sit here with this thought rolling in my head, I'm also saddened that it won't be passed down to the next owner within the family. After so much that has gone on here since 2008, I'm devastated. I can't even imagine the thoughts rolling in Rich's head. Having been on or around the farm his entire life, it has to yank a piece of his heart out to make decisions like selling. Eventually though, when push comes to shove, self preservation takes over.
I've talked with others about concerns over farmers committing suicide because of these types of decisions, lack of funds and severe depression. In my way, I'm trying to explain how hard it is to lose a piece of yourself at times like this. Farmers who have worked the land, watched it grow and change have an affinity for the property that is unparalleled. They put their heart and soul into every piece of hay, every head of livestock, every grain of soil and every drop of water. Farmers love their farms like parents love their children.
To farmers, our farm is our legacy. It's our book of life that we have written the pages for. Failures or success, risks and rewards, it's all in there. Our pages might not be written over the years on paper, but they are written on our hearts, our souls and within each detail we find on the farm. It doesn't make a difference what kind of farm it is, how big or how small. It's just the way it is for farmers.

Do you need breathing space from your debts?
Find out which debt solution is right for youGet started
Answer a few simple questions
See if you are suitable
Understand your next steps
Spend less in the supermarket with our guide on being a smarter shopper!
The weekly grocery shop is something that you simply can't get away from. Come rain or shine, long-hard-day or not, it's just a chore that you're going to have to do (unless you order online that is). But what if your weekly supermarket shop is taking quite a big chunk out of your monthly budget? Are there ways that you can cut back? Of course! Just try a few of the following …
Buy frozen instead of fresh
Ever bought a variety of fresh veg only to forget to use it and have to throw it away? This can be so frustrating, so why not opt to buy some of your veg frozen so that you don't have to worry about it going off. There's no timeframe for when you need to eat frozen veg, so it should work out much cheaper to buy this in the long run.
Ask for discounts on bakery/meat items that are due to expire
The saying "you'll never know, if you don't ask" very much applies when wandering around your local supermarket. Particularly if you find bakery or meat items that you can see are going to expire soon. There's no harm in asking a staff member if they can mark it down for you. You never know, if it's something that they're just going to discount later on in the day, they may just do it for you!
Go down a brand
This one's rather simple really, try going one brand down on everything that you buy and see whether you can tell a difference. It's so easy to do this, just go for your local supermarket's own-brand products instead of the usual premium household brands. You probably won't be able to tell too much of a difference when it comes to quality and could slice a big chunk off your weekly shop – win, win!
Shop at the right time
Instead of rushing to the supermarket on a Saturday morning, and fighting your way through the crowds, go after work (hold on, hear us out) instead. Supermarkets tend to discount items like bread, cake, fish and meat when they are close to closing, so doing a bit of late night shopping could be a great way to pick up a few cheap bargains. Don't be put off by the best-before-date, simply pop whatever you get into the freezer and take it out whenever you need it!
So there you have it, some rather simple ways that you can cut down your grocery bill each month. All you have to do now is figure out how to avoid the chocolate aisle!

Community Oriented Policing
The Department of Justice COPS Office states Community Oriented Policing is a policing philosophy that promotes and supports organizational strategies to address the causes and reduce the fear of crime and social disorder through problem-solving tactics and police-community partnerships.
This paper will discuss who the stakeholders I see would be implementing a COPS program and looks at points of views for three of these stakeholders. This paper will discuss possible policy implementation and recommendations. Policy Stakeholders
A portion of the research conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of a community oriented policing program within our community included a survey of stakeholders. This survey was to gather information on the perspective of the stakeholders on community oriented policing program.
Included in the survey was a portion where the subject could rely their own personal views on a program of this nature in their community. The following are three views from those surveys.
Subject one, is police officer within the community and has been for the past three years. He believes that community policing will benefit the community by reducing crime, and improve relations between police and the community. His concern however, is that veteran officers may not be willing to accept a change to their current policing practices. This could result in negativity towards community members resulting in an increased animosity between the police department and community members. The surveyed officer believes that in order for the program to succeed, this issue must be addressed within the policy.
Subject two, is a 57-year-old member of the community and has been since birth. This community member also believes that the community would benefit from a community oriented policing program. This subject believes policy creators should research policies of those communities whom have thriving community oriented policing programs. This community member states that the community is eager and willing to support a program of this nature. However, in order for the community to continue support such a program, this community member would like a tool implemented by the policy to evaluate the success of the program.
Subject three, is a member of the city council and has been a member of the community for 12 years. This city council member also believes the community would benefit from community oriented policing. However, this subject believes that additional funds will be needed to support this program, and that those fund will increase the current police department's budget. This city council member believes the community will have to help in finically supporting the program, and that the policy should reflect this support. Policy Claim
Currently within our city it does not have a formal community oriented policing policy. There are several community-based programs that have been created by civilians with some input from local law enforcement. These types of programs are the typical neighborhood watch, etc. that are only somewhat effective in certain areas. Recently there has been growing concern within our community and police department regarding the increase in pockets of crime. Many of these specific areas of concern had begun in the low to mid-level income areas and are moving into other areas within increasing incidents of burglaries and car theft.
Initially, upon deciding that community oriented policing could be of value in our community, research was conducted to determine the results of these types of programs in other police departments.
The most compelling information came from a report published by BJS in 1999. This publication summarized a 1998 report of surveys conducted regarding community perceptions of police involvement in 12 cities across the United States. In this report, "Eighty-five percent of residents surveyed in 12 cities reported satisfaction...

Botox cosmetic injections are very popular among Americans who wish to look as young as they feel. The Food and Drug Administration approved Botox in 2002 for cosmetic use and it has steadily grown in popularity over the years. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons statistics shows that Botox injections increased by 4% from 2015 – 2016. The year 2016 saw 7.06 million injections. Though Botox used to be associated with the boomers, it is not so anymore with an increasing number of young women going for these injections that can smooth out wrinkles and provide a more youthful appearance. A recent report in INDYSTAR notes that now more millennials and Gen Xers are using Botox not just to look younger, but to prevent the formation of future wrinkles.
The report also included details from the 2016 ASPS report on Botox that analyzed the procedures performed in 2015. Here are the key points:
- The majority of Botox users fall in the 40 to 54 age range
- 2 million Botox injections (18 percent of the total) were performed on patients in their 30s
- More than 100,000 injections were for patients in their 20s
- The 19,604 injections done in teenagers represent a 2 percent increase from 2014 to 2015.
Botox temporarily paralyzes the muscles that cause frown lines, relaxing the wrinkles and its effects typically wear off in three to six months. Even though it cannot be guaranteed, doctors think that Botox use may ward off the need for more invasive procedures in future and result in a better appearance. Botox can not only soften women's expressions but also make their face seem more relaxed. When used over time, it will prevent deeper wrinkles from forming, according to leading plastic surgeons. However, regular use would be required and once a person stops using Botox, the wrinkles may begin to form. People who continue using Botox may need only less Botox as they get older. Early users may not need fillers or more invasive procedures that are required to treat deep creases in patients who start Botox in their 40s or 50s. Botox is also cheaper for younger patients as they need only lesser amount of the injection.
With increasing use of Botox, apart from plastic surgeons' offices, medical spas, dentists' and gynecologists' offices have also started offering this injection. Advertising for Botox has increased and Botox use has become normalized now. It is always best to get the service of a skilled plastic surgeon specialized in handling the injection for Botox treatment.

It has been a nasty three years for investors in Neil Gregson's JPM Natural Resources fund.
The slide in commodity prices caused key holdings to collapse in value, wiping out nearly half of the value of investors' holdings over the time period.
Many investors decided to exit the fund, which has shrunk in size from some £3bn in April 2011 to around £1bn now.
But Mr Gregson, who took over the fund in 2012, believes the fund will regain lost ground in the coming months.
He believes stronger global economic growth this year compared with 2013 will boost demand for commodities, in turn helping lift commodity prices, while investor sentiment is improving towards the sector.
"I think we are absolutely past the worst now," he said. "I understand it has been painful over recent years but we are in fundamentally sound companies with a lot of growth ahead of them."
He said: "We think by staying the course we will get rewarded on those investments in the future."
Commodity prices have performed well in 2014. According to FE Trustnet, the MSCI World Metals and Mining Index delivered a return of 1.65pc in the three months to April 15, while the broader MSCI World index lost 2.51pc.
The JPM Natural Resources fund invests in companies that extract and produce key commodities, from oil and gas to precious metals.
Mr Gregson was very cautious on gold as an investment. "A global recovery, particularly one led by the US, is not good for gold," he said. "We see a challenging environment for gold in the year ahead."
Mr Gregson currently has only 15pc of the fund invested in gold and precious metals, its lowest level in at least a decade.
"At a gold company level, it is really going to be a stock picker's market," Mr Gregson said. "There are some very cheap companies out there, but there are also some companies that have high costs of production and high debt levels, and if the gold price doesn't pick up, they will be in trouble."
He was more positive on mining and oil and gas companies for 2014.
Fund experts remain positive on the long‑term opportunities in the commodities sector.
Brian Dennehy, managing director of FundExpert, said: "While we are not calling the bottom of the commodities market, as there remain downside risks, the long-term case for investing remains."
He said the best strategy for investors was to commit money to the sector monthly, so if assets fell further they would buy holdings cheaply.
Martin Bamford, of financial planner Informed Choice, said JPM Natural Resources was a "well-diversified" fund that suited growth rather than income investors.
Mr Bamford suggested M&G Global Basics as an alternative fund to consider. Run by Randeep Somel, it invests in a mixture of commodities and service companies and has delivered performance of 58.6pc over five years.
He also liked the "often overlooked" Sarasin AgriSar fund, which invests in a global portfolio of companies exposed to the agricultural sector.
Mr Dennehy tipped Smith & Williamson Global Gold & Resources as a good alternative.
"There is an emerging opportunity in gold mining shares, which look cheap on historic valuation measures," he said.
He also liked the Artemis Global Energy fund, run by John Dodd, which is less reliant on the United States than many of its peers.

A new work-in-progress draft of Australia's draft Digital Technologies curriculum contains many edits that respond to industry criticism of previous efforts as overly dependent on computational thinking and too vague for teachers to implement.
The curriculum is Australia's first effort at embedding computing in schooling from kindergarten to year ten. As such, it has been welcomed by industry groups as one of the ways Australia can ensure the IT&T industry has a well-educated pool of people to employ, even if those people won't hit the jobs market until 2030.
Not everyone's happy with the most recent draft of the curriculum, which The Reg learned was felt by teachers to be too hard to teach without extra training. Industry also worried that perhaps the curriculum focussed too much on computational thinking.
The Register has since obtained a new draft dated August 8th that makes major changes.
The February draft offered the following three bullet points to describe a strand of teaching called "Digital Technologies knowledge and understanding":
- how data are represented and structured symbolically
- the components of digital systems: software, hardware and networks
- the use, development and impact of information systems in people's lives
That description now reads as follows:
- Digital systems
the components of digital systems: software, hardware and networks and their use
- Representation of data
how data are represented and structured symbolically
The second strand of teaching Digital Technologies was titled "Digital Technologies processes and production" and offered the following bullet points to describe its content:
- collecting, managing and interpreting data when creating information, and the nature and properties of data, how they are collected and interpreted
- using a range of digital systems and their components and peripherals
- defining problems and specifying and implementing their solutions
- creating and communicating information, especially online, and interacting safely using appropriate technical and social protocols
That strand has now been re-named "Digital Technologies processes and production skills" and says it will teach students "producing digital solutions by":
- collecting, managing and analysing data
- defining problems
- designing solutions
- implementing and evaluating solutions
- communicating, collaborating and managing projects
The new draft appears to respond to a big criticism of its predecessor, namely that computational thinking was prioritised over other approaches to digital technologies.
The opening of the explanation for the section on "Digital Technologies processes and production skills" used to open with the following:
"This strand focuses primarily on defining and solving problems through using digital systems, critical and creative thinking and applying computational thinking – a problem solving methodology."
It now opens with this text:
'This strand focuses primarily on data collection and interpretation and on defining problems and opportunities. In this strand students develop techniques and skills for handling data, which is the key resource for creating ideas, information and solutions."
Readers who feel the extracts above represent a watering-down need not be dismayed, as other parts of the new document offer greater detail about how the curriculum will ensure kids learn coding. In years 7 and 8, for example, students will be expected to "broaden their programming experiences from using visual programming to general-purpose programming languages when implementing and modifying programs that involve branching, iteration and subprograms."
By years 9 and 10 students will "... broaden their skills to improve the accuracy and logic of their algorithms by desk checking and developing test cases to validate the capacity of algorithms to meet requirements. They consider alternative user experiences, and apply criteria when selecting preferred design options including types of algorithms. In the implementing phase, students build on their knowledge of modular, digital solutions to complex problems through using an object-oriented programming language."
Here's the expected range of skills students will be expected to possess by the end of Year 10.
"By the end of Year 10, students explain how hardware and software components are used to manage, control and secure data in networked digital systems. They explain simple data compression, and how content data is separated from presentation.
Students decompose and define problems by considering requirements. They design user experiences and algorithms involving modular functions. They identify risks, safety and sustainability concerns when planning, managing and implementing programs and test programs against specifications. Students analyse and evaluate data taking account of privacy, security and legal considerations. They model relationships between data entities to produce and evaluate interactive solutions for sharing online." The new draft, like its predecessor, is over 100 pages long. A comprehensive, page-by-page comparison is not something The Register imagines readers would savour. If you do, we've posted the work-in-progress draft here . The February draft can be found here. Both documents are PDFs. ®

Copenhagen has been awarded the EU Commission's prestigious European Green Capital Award for 2014. The Danish capital is receiving the prize for, amongst other reasons, getting more people to cycle and for the city's ambitious goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2025.
Cities at the heart of environmental challenges
Three out of four Europeans live in towns and cities, placing mayor cities at the heart of environmental challenges. For a considerable period of time now, Copenhagen has taken on the challenge. Copenhageners are good at leaving the car in the garage and taking their bikes instead, they can go for a swim in the clean water of the harbour and Copenhagen has just published a green account that shows remarkable reductions in carbon emissions. For these reasons, the Danish capital is now, ahead of 17 other European countries, receiving the prize as European Green Capital 2014 - a green pat on the back from the EU Commission.
Frank Jensen, Lord Mayor of Copenhagen, says:
"This is international recognition of our dedicated efforts and it is something Copenhageners can be really proud of every time they get on their bikes or take a swim in one of the harbour swimming pools. Our efforts are not only about a greener Copenhagen. They are also about a healthier Copenhagen and a Copenhagen which is nice to live in."
Top marks on environment, climate and green growth
To become European Green Capital 2014, Copenhagen and the other 17 candidates were judged by a panel of experts in twelve specific areas within the sectors of environment, climate and green growth. Copenhagen was awarded top marks ahead of all the other cities. In nine of the twelve areas, the technical jury assessed Copenhagen to have achieved the best or second best results of all 18 cities.
"Copenhagen leads the field in many areas, but we are constantly working on giving Copenhageners an even greener and more liveable city. So, we want to show the rest of Europe how to make green urban solutions that work and create new possibilities for the citizens. At the same time, we want to learn new things from other cities all over Europe so we can make Copenhagen an even better place to live," says Ayfer Baykal, Copenhagen's Technical and Environmental Mayor.
Past winners include Stockholm, Hamburg and Vitoria-Gasteiz. In 2013, Nantes takes over the title from Vitoria-Gasteiz.

The only time people go "Around da Island" (of Oahu) is if they are tourists, a relative/friend from Oahu native, car cruise, or just because.
For my friends and I, our reason for going around the island was "just because".
We started bright and early at 8AM so that way we can eat breakfast as well as finish early while there is light out.
On an average, it takes about 4 hours to drive " around the island" unless you take detours to pick something up to eat or get out of the car to take pictures, which we did, but other then that it takes longer if you get lost, obviously. haha.Our time was 7 hours.
Just FYI, you can't really "go around" the whole Island… in actuality, you are going around "half" the island. You could technically sight see around "all" of Oahu, but your trips would include of going to one point and drive back to the main road instead of of going around in one full circle.
Just look at the map that I noted on.
Also this map shows our route around the island.
In the past, when I go around the island, we usually start from Wahiawa (where I'm from) and we go down towards Haleiwa, North Shore side and make our way around. This time, we decided to go from Wahiawa to Honolulu and make our way to the scenic route.
Since Breakfast was in order, after 5+ mins of thinking where we'd eat, my friend spotted "Pancakes & Waffles".
Tip for a road trip adventure: If you're on a "whim", at least figure out where's a good/new place to eat or research where to go before hand. That way you won't waste time and gas trying to figure out where to go.
This place had an "Early Bird Special" (left side of picture) which was $3.25 for 2 eggs & 2 buttermilk pancakes… That's a pretty good deal. I got the "Mini Breakfast Special" (right side of picture) which was $5.25 for 2 eggs, 2 pancakes and 2 pc bacon.
They also have local favorites such as "Loco Moco" and… whats interesting is that they have fried chicken and waffles, so this place is kind of like "Roscos Chicken and Waffle".
After breakfast, we started to hit the road…
Driving through CHINA TOWN…
Here's the famous statue of King Kamehameha. (sorry for the blur)
Heading towards Waikiki, a main tourist location.
The Famous Waikiki Beach…
On Waikiki Beach, they "Sunset on the Beach" which is a FREE movie shown on a 30 ft screen (that square in the left of the picture). I haven't gone to one of those, but it's pretty popular.
More info: http://www.sunsetonthebeach.net/
Usually the rich houses have nice pretty gates such as these.
Typical… Local Surfer walking on the street.
This was our 2ND STOP & the HIGHLIGHT OF OUR DAY!
(You'll find out in a few seconds..)
"Short Story Time; pictures included" haha
We stopped at one of the "Blowhole" lookouts... So down in the ocean, we saw lots of heads bobbing in the water, obviously surfers. lol. Me and my friends were wondering how they got down there...
Then we saw this guy walking up towards us…
Soooooooo…. We decided to be ADVENTURERS & follow the trail.
At 1st me and my friend Jasmine were skeptical as Ashley and Leo were ahead of us, but we decided, "we're on an adventure, so why not?!"…
So we are making our way down… We decide to take off our slippers (aka "flip flops") for "grip" because one slip and we'd be rolling down the hill, probably seriously hurt or dead. lol.
Ashley way ahead of us…
Slowly taking our time to go down.
Look at the floor, and we're walking barefoot. Yes, walking down hurts. lol.
This place was steep. Still making our way down.
This is my view to my right.
My view in front of me…
View to the left
At last, we reach the SOFT & SPARKLY SAND (seriously, Edward Cullen "Sparkly" haha) and our FEET is just soooo happy, especially when we dip it in the refreshing water! (obviously those dog foot prints aren't ours, but its picture of the sand. lol.) if only it could've sparkle just like real life…
We parked up there…. soo LOOK AT THAT STEEPNESS!!! Yeah, we totally accomplished that! lol.
We decided to take picture on this rock thingy.
The cute local boy with the dog offered to take our picture…
That place was so pretty!
After a while of taking pictures… we decided to go up.
Going up felt like rock climbing. I had to touch the grown as I walked up because I was afraid of slipping.
Well that was the end of our EPIC mini adventure. lol
Passing Koko Marina side…
The famous Hanauma Bay: That's where you can go snorkeling with lots of fishes
Making our way to Sandys.
Driving through weaving roads.
Almost close to our next stop…
3RDS STOP: Sandys Beach Park
This beach is usually for surfers & body boarders… or for tanners. lol.
Panorama view of Sandys Beach..
The waves are pretty big and harsh looking.
We are on the road… and passing Makapuu Light house /Beach park and that piece of land is "Rabbit Island". It's called that because from afar it looks like a rabbit. This area is where 50 First Dates was filmed... Where Adam Sandler works is called "Sea Life Park", which was a very popular place when I was younger. They have penguin and dolphin shows.
Passing Sea Life Park…
Heading towards Kailua… I always get lost in Kailua. lol.
Chinamans Hat (that small tiny "Chinamans hat" looking land) lol
To know the story of the "Chinamans Hat" or why we call this land "Chinamans Hat", Click the link below (:
Our 4TH STOP: Kualoa Ranch
Poor thing, this horse was in the "petting/feeding" area… I'm assuming it was because it was old :c but still it was nice to see the horse up close.
5th stop: La'ie Point
The Famous Waimea Beach
Rainbow Bridge
Matsumoto's is known for their Shave Ice… usually there's a big line. Sooo……
I usually go to the NEXT BEST THING…. AOKIS, which is like the next store over…
Even though it's 25 cents more, the line is way shorter, but it's still good!
Since we've been driving for hours… We were putting of to eat lunch till we reached Haleiwa so we can go to Lanikai Juice & Stortos.
Lanikai Juice
The whole sandwich was $13. Me and Leo shared and got the "Sunset w/ Papaya Seed Sauce" which is one of their top combos.
This sign was in the eating area. Usually signs say "Don't feed the Birds", but in Hawaii, we have chickens around. lol.
Finally on our way back to Wahiawa… We're passing through the Pineapple fields.
I know that was quite a lot, but overall I had a really good time!
If you are ever visiting Oahu, make the chance to go "around the island" it would be worth the time (:
There are more places to visit, me and my friends only went to a few places, but definable buy a map or research places to visit you'll be fine.
Here's a link for more information on "Going around the Island"…

Our U17s are into the final! Our record breaking season at all age groups continued tonight when our U17s knocked out Bray Wanderers to advance to the Shield Final. The two sides couldn't be separated after 120 minutes in a very close game and it took a penalty shootout to decide the winner. Peter Quinlan made two great saves before Jack Maguire scored the winning penalty in sudden death.
Thanks to the huge support at the Carlisle Grounds from all of our schoolboy teams aswell as staff and players from our League of Ireland U15s, U19s and First Team.
Our U17s will now face Derry City in the Shield FInal. We hope to see you all again at the final, details to be confirmed.
Next up, our U19s play their semi final verus Shamrock Rovers at 2PM in Tallaght Stadium this Saturday.


text: Violent is an album of soaring highs and hushed comedowns, with dense syncopations going toe-to-toe with noise-soaked crescendos and delicate pop melodies. Produced by Tom Dobrzanski (Said The Whale, The Zolas, Hey Ocean) at his Monarch Studios; "King David" moves from aggressive distortion to gentle acoustic plucking to swirling ambience, while "Bottom of the Lake" places marimba tinkles atop a gritty guitar backdrop, and the cerebral "Baptism" builds towards the album's most thunderous climax. The album is also a companion project of the now internationally celebrated and award-winning film of the same name, written by We Are the City and filmed by Vancouver's Amazing Factory Productions in Norway. With a script penned entirely in Norwegian despite the fact that the band members didn't speak the language, the subtitled film utilizes melodic motifs from the songs, while the story shares themes with the lyrics. boompa

Condominium boards' legal remedies for enforcement of rules against recalcitrant unit owners are severely limited. This is because, unlike coop boards, condo boards are not in a landlord-tenant relationship with their unit owners and therefore lack power to evict for infraction of the rules.

The best way to read any of my blogs is to start at the beginning and read each post in order that I wrote them. That especially holds true for this blog. But I know due to the subject, the comments, and the things people talk to each other about in emails or phone calls, some of you like to jump around here. But if you are going to read and/or comment here I ask that you at least read all three of the disclaimers posted bellow.
Thank You.

Map to a Gold Mine - Could You, Would You?
If a total stranger came up to you and said: "I've got a map", what would you think?
Would you be intrigued or would you think he was nuts? What if he added: "It's a map to a gold mine." Would that get you interested?
What if he said: "I'll sell you the map."
There are many unknown quantities in the above scenario. In other words, there are a number of things that you need to know about the man and his map. Here are some considerations:
But let's assume that the man, the map and his gold mine are genuine. What else would you need to know?
In the back of your mind is there a little voice saying "where's the catch?" Of course there is. However, let's also assume that there is no catch. What would be the only thing holding you back from taking advantage of this fantastic offer?
There is only one part of the equation missing. It's you. Can you make the process work? What do you need to do to mine the gold?
What do you need to know about yourself? If you had the map, could you do anything with it? Would you do anything with it? Would you be prepared to pay the man for his map? Would you be prepared to part with the $20,000 for the map? Is the price too high for you? What if it was $10,000, or $5,000 or $2,500?
On the other hand, would you deny yourself the opportunity because you were concerned that you were giving the man money for just a piece of paper with a few lines and directions on it.
The question I really want you to think about is this - how much are you prepared to pay in time, money and effort for information that can enable you to improve your life?
Studying subjects such as motivation, self esteem and personal development could be just the map you need to find your very own gold mine.
