Texas was late to the craft distilling party, but it's quickly catching up to other states.
Sixteen years ago, Tito's Handmade Vodka paved the way as the first legal Texas distillery. Now, there are 45 distilling permits registered with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, although not all of them are producing. The market has grown rapidly, and some have risen above the rest. Not only has the number of distilleries increased, but the variety of products they are making continues to expand. Here is a roundup, in alphabetical order, of updates and trend-setting distillers and some of their new products.

Republicans met in Cleveland this week to finalize their platform in preparation for Donald Trump’s nomination for president. Among the new GOP platform’s highlights ― which include extreme anti-LGBT measures ― is a proposal to repeal a 50-year-old tax law that prohibits churches and other tax-exempt organizations from political organizing.
“This is going to create a revolution among Christian leaders, nonprofit universities, and nonprofits in general,” Jerry Falwell Jr., president of Christian-based Liberty University who has endorsed Donald Trump for president, said in an interview with the Richmond Times-Dispatch on Wednesday.
In 1954, Congress passed an amendment proposed by then-Sen. Lyndon Johnson to ban 501(c)(3) organizations ― which includes both churches and charities ― from engaging in political campaign activity. In 1987 Congress adjusted the language of what has come to be known as the “Johnson Amendment” to clarify that the ban applies to statements both endorsing and opposing candidates.
Some believe the law violates religious leaders’ First Amendment rights, but others feel it maintains the integrity of the tax system under which churches and nonprofits do not pay taxes on their income and contributions made to them are tax-deductible by donors.
The Internal Revenue Service upholds the prohibition accordingly, investigating churches and faith leaders who use their tax-exempt platforms to engage in political organizing.
Among the leaders and organizations, like Falwell, who favor repealing the amendment but maintaining religious organizations’ tax exemption, are conservative Christian nonprofit Alliance Defending Freedom, Catholic anti-abortion organization Priests for Life, and Branch Ministries Inc., whose permit the IRS revoked in the mid-1990s for campaigning against Bill Clinton.
According to a 2014 Pew Research poll, nearly 60 percent of Republicans believe churches should express their political views, compared with 42 percent of Democrats. Just 38 percent of Republicans and 28 percent of Democrats, though, think churches should go as far as endorsing candidates.
Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council and Republican platform committee member, said the proposal to repeal the law would be a “priority” of a Trump administration, which nearly 80 percent of white evangelicals said they would support.
Religious organizations should “have the ability to speak freely, and ... should not live in fear of the IRS,” Perkins said, according to Time.
In spite of any fear faith leaders may harbor about sharing their political beliefs, conservative Christians don’t seem to have been particularly hard hit by the law. The Christian right, also called the religious right, has proven to be a powerful organizing force in recent decades, spearheading the movements against abortion and gay rights, as well as so-called “religious liberty” cases that allow businesses to discriminate against LGBT people.
Previous proposals to repeal the Johnson Amendment, submitted by Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.) in 2013 and again in 2015, have failed to pass in Congress. As the Los Angeles Times wrote in an editorial about the proposal in 2013: “Churches may have a 1st Amendment right to endorse candidates, but there is no constitutional right to a tax exemption.”
Reverend Steven Baines of Americans United for the Separation of Church and State expressed similar sentiment in 2012 after a Maryland bishop announced he was “purposely preaching a message that violates the 501(c)(3) status of our tax code” to campaign against President Barack Obama’s reelection.
“Basically what you’re doing when you endorse a candidate from the pulpit is you’re flowing thousands of dollars of non-taxed money to political parties,” Baines told Religion & Politics at the time. “They are turning houses of worship into political action committees without risking that taxable income.”
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story stated incorrectly that Liberty University is a Catholic institution.

Larry posted a sweet video of Janet Jackson fangirl Dannielynn playing some of the diva's no. 1 smash "Black Cat" on an electric guitar for none other than Bon Jovi's Richie Sambora, who egged her on.
Larry wrote on Instagram, "Rockin' the rest of @kentuckyderby ... with Richie Sambora and Dannielynn."
"Richie graciously made good on his offer to give Dannielynn a private guitar lesson and spent a ton of time giving her confidence building tips and mastering the art of playing the guitar. Great guy!"
Dannielynn once wore one of Janet's personal garments to a Derby event — and met the singer to pose for a warm photo together.
The Birkheads never fail to make the scene at the Derby, held annually in Louisville, Kentucky, at Churchill Downs. They are also regulars at the Barnstable Brown gala, which the two attended Friday evening.
To that event, Dannielynn wore a cute dress with images of her mom all over it!
Larry told People Derby weekend is "our Met Gala." He also said, "I think her mom would be proud... That she is the young lady she turned out to be."

Microsoft has today taken the lid off its all new version of Microsoft Office, dubbed Office 2013. And if you’ve used Office before, expect to be working with a suite of applications that look very different when you finally make the jump to Windows 8.
Microsoft has redesigned Office with touch in mind, so as to allow the suite to work across desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphone devices, as well as putting a new focus on using the cloud. In order to do that the interface required a radical overhaul, and the result is Office 2013.
As well as creating a brand new interface that is touch-friendly, Microsoft wants to ensure you can access your documents everywhere and from any Windows 8 device. The solution to that problem is integration with cloud-based storage through SkyDrive, which Office uses by default to save all documents. Saving in the cloud also extends to your Office preferences and most recent files.
There will be two versions of Office on offer. Office 2013 is the desktop version we all are used to with a one-time fee for a license. Then there’s Office 365, which is the subscription version. Essentially Office 365 allows you to use Office 2013 across multiple machines (how many will depend on the version you choose) and sync your data between them using SkyDrive.
Microsoft also intends to make some extra cash from selling extral SkyDrive storage to heavy users, and integrating Skype for which you can buy credit for calls that aren’t deemed free.
As for pricing, Microsoft has yet to announce the final details. If you purchase a tablet running Windows RT it will ship with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote by default. It’s likely pricing for the standard single-license Office 2013 will be similar to what has gone before, but the subscription pricing will be key, especially if Microsoft intends to compete with Google in the cloud-office space.
One thing Microsoft has promised is all subscription levels will include all applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Publisher, and Access). And by subscribing you guarantee future updates and new versions will just roll out to you without disruption.
As for the levels of subscription, there will be Office 365 Home Premium for consumers, Office 365 Small Business Premium for business users, and Office 365 ProPlus for enterprises. The Home Premium edition will include 20GB of SkyDrive storage, 60 minutes of Skype world minutes to use every month, and 5 licenses for installing Office on multiple machines and devices.
Final pricing for Office 2013 is expected to be announced in the fall, but you don’t have to wait until then to try out the new suite. Microsoft is offering a Customer Preview version you can sign-up for and try right now.

WASHINGTON – Why do toothpaste companies package their product in boxes when it already comes in a tube?
American consumers last year bought 423.5 million units of leading toothpaste brands like Colgate, Sensodyne and Crest, according to Statista, and all of the products are sold in a paperboard box.
Alan Wurman, an award-winning film and theater composer, said in a YouTube video that toothpaste boxes are useless.
“The box makes it more expensive for the makers and for the buyers,” he said in the video, “and the only thing we do with it is to throw it away.”
The creation of paperboard contributes to deforestation, increased water consumption and higher greenhouse gas emissions, according to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy. In the United States, pulp and paper production is the sixth-largest contributor to air, water and land contamination.
None of the manufacturers of the toothpastes responded to requests for comment for this story.
Brian Westerlind, the communications manager of the Paperboard Packaging Council, said there is no reason to advocate to get rid of paperboard boxes because the material is gathered from tree farms used specifically for this reason.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, organic materials including paperboard accounted for 67.2 million tons, or 26 percent, of 258.5 million tons of total waste materials in 2014.
Although the EPA reported that “the highest recycling and composting rates were achieved in paper and paperboard,” these materials still made up 14.3 percent of about 136 millions tons of municipal solid waste.
Andrea Ruiz-Hays, the director of strategic alliances for Recycle Across America, said this problem is connected to recycling contamination, when materials normally accepted for recycling are soiled and should be thrown out but are still put in recycling bins.
These materials can’t be recycled and forces recycling centers to throw out bales of recycling, even if contaminated products only make up a third of the container.
Landfills are the largest source of methane, the second most important greenhouse gas that adds to global warming after carbon dioxide, and paper degradation in landfills perpetuates this problem, scientists say.
The U.S. previously had been sending about 40 percent of its recycling to China, which used the scrap material for manufacturing to help fuel its economic boom.
For almost 25 years, Western countries had been sending their recycling to Asian countries but China ended this practice in January 2018 by banning imports of different types of plastic and paper to protect against environmental pollution.
To add to the dilemma, as scientists learn more about human-induced climate change, it is becoming more apparent that recycling isn’t the answer to helping the planet.
Instead, people need to work more on reducing waste through their consumption habits, according to Daria Scala, a policy analyst who evaluates potential environmental impacts of conservation policy and legislative actions at the federal Department of Agriculture’s National Resources Conservation Service.
She said that the more things someone buys, the greater the ecological impact.
“Economic growth as defined by GDP has been shown to disproportionately affect ecological boundaries or ecological impacts,” she said. “It’s not even a one-to-one relationship, but for every one unit of GDP growth, you get more than one unit of ecological (damage).”
According to Scala, everything in modern life is tied to consumer habits and the solution “doesn’t come from switching, it comes from reducing.”
The USDA Forest Service, in a preliminary research report from 1999, found that paper and paperboard demand was projected to decline, but “overall consumption is projected to increase with growing population.”
Wurman mentioned that Iceland bypassed this problem and sells 90 percent of its toothpaste without a box, which he claims is only used to make the product look better.
Wurman says in the video that this change happened because the people of Iceland consciously made the decision to change how they consume and treat waste, forcing politicians and corporations to sell toothpaste with no boxes.
In connection to the video about getting rid of toothpaste boxes, Ruiz-Hays said that she thinks it’s a great idea by making people more conscientious about what they’re buying and reducing the amount of packaging being used.
Wurman created a petition two months ago to get rid of toothpaste boxes and it has about 52,000 signatures. His goal is to get 75,000 signatures.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. – The boat driver who crashed into a barge near the Tappan Zee Bridge last year, killing a bride-to-be and her fiancé’s best man days before the wedding, pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter on Monday reports WABC Channel 7 News.
Jojo John, 35, was driving the powerboat July 26, 2013 when it hit a stationary barge used in the construction of the new bridge. Lindsey Stewart and Mark Lennon drowned after being thrown into the water.
John and his surviving passengers claimed the barge wasn’t properly lit and could not be seen.
The district attorney said John had almost double the legal amount of alcohol and traces of cocaine in his system. He is expected to be sentenced to two years in prison, one year for each death, according to the report.

You landed here because you wanted to know if there was a French Walmart in Paris or France or something similar!
Is there a French Walmart in France?
Walmart has locations in 24 countries as of this writing, including the United States, Canada, Guatemala, Botswana, Uganda, and even China.
But there is no Walmart in France!
That doesn’t mean that there aren’t stores similar to Walmart in France in terms of products offered, amenities and size of the store. In fact, the French Walmart equivalents actually offer a lot more than Walmart.
Just don’t count on finding any of those weird Walmartians, aka cooky people of Walmart.
The French Hypermarkets Similar to Walmart
In France, there are several big-box retailers similar to Walmart that offers a variety of products to their customers, often combining a supermarket, department store and other services under one roof. They often have large car parks and are usually located on the outskirts of a city, but still easily accessible. They are generally quite large and can be anywhere between 5,000 sq .meters to 15,000 sq. meters. (55,000 sq. ft. to 165,000 sq. ft.).
These massive superstores are called “hypermarché (hypermarkets), a word that French trade expert Jacques Pictet invented in 1968.
Like Walmart, the French hypermarché’ is designed to be a one-stop shop where customers can find every consumer good under one roof, from groceries and clothing to technology, and more, all at competitive prices by focusing on large sales volumes to reach economies of scale.
Did the French invent the hypermarket?
It’s generally accepted that the world’s first hypermarché was opened to the public in 1963 by a French supermarket called Carrefour.
Some argue that the first hypermarket was opened in Belgium two years earlier, in 1961. It was called SuperBazar and was originally marketed as a department store. Whether or not the hypermarché is a French invention doesn’t matter because Carrefour did popularize hypermarkets around the world, not Walmart.
Sam Walton opened the first Walmart in 1962 in Rogers, Arkansas but didn’t open a Supercenter (hypermarket) until 1988 in Washington, Missouri.
Here are the French Walmart equivalents that put Walmart to shame:
1) CARREFOUR (Kar-Foowr)
Carrefour is the closest thing to a French Walmart in terms of products and selection. Carrefour is the world’s second-leading general retailer after Walmart and one of the largest and most well-known supermarket chains in Europe and France.
“Carrefour,” which means “crossroads,” was named after the fact that its first store, which opened in 1960 in the basement of the Fournier department store in Annecy, France, was located at the intersection (crossroads) of two avenues in Annecy.
It was small, only 650 sq meters (7,000 sq. ft), but it was a huge success, and three years later, In 1963, Carrefour opened its first one-stop shop, “hypermarché” at the intersection of five roads in Sainte-Genevieve-des-Bois outside Paris.
It had self-service grocery shopping at discounted prices and stocked items such as consumer electronics, auto accessories, sporting goods, and clothing.
The store was a first of its kind in France; and covered 2,500 sq. meters (27,000 sq. ft.) and a parking lot that could fit around 450 cars.
Not all Carrefour stores are hypermarkets.
- Carrefour Hypermarchés: The largest of all of Carrefour stores and closes thing for a French version of Walmart.
- Carrefour Market: This is a large supermarket, but not a hypermarché.
- Carrefour City: These are small food stores, smaller than a supermarket but larger than a Carrefour Express convenience store.
- Carrefour Express: Are the smallest of all Carrefour stores and are similar to corner markets or convenience stores such as 7/11 stores or Couche-tard in Canada.
What kind of products and services can you find at a Carrefour hypermarket?
You name it; Carrefour hypermarché has it.
From fresh fruits and vegetables, seafood, meat and cheeses to clothing, outdoor furniture and back to school supplies, and so so so much more.
There are a lot of 2 for 1 and 3 for 1 deal specials usually located at the front or the side of the store. But the interiors of most Carrefour Hypermarkets are a lot more classy.
The Biggest Carrefour Hypermarket in France and Europe
The biggest Carrefour hypermarche is in Villiers-en-Bière, one hour south east of Paris. It’s also the largest hypermarché in all of Europe since an extension was added in 1986.
Difference between Carrefour in France and Walmart
Besides being a big one-stop shop that sells everything you could ever need, there are a lot of differences in the general vibe of the store and the product selection.
- There are no cooky Walmart people: just normal-looking people dressed like people.
- Not open 24 hours per day.
- There are lots of local products and foods.
- There’s also an organic section.
- Feels more upscale than a Walmart.
The following are some of the goods and services you might find at a Carrefour hypermarchés in France. Not every Carrefour has these offerings; it just depends on the store and location.
- Carrefour Fidelity card: Carrefour has a rewards/fidelity card: which allows you to accumulate points that can be converted to cash for future purchases.
- Self-checkouts: Most hypermarkets have a scanner gun that you pick up at the store entrance. It’s self-service. All you do is scan your fidelity card to check one out. You then scan all your items as you place them in your
basket. When you’re finished, you head over to the self-checkout, scan your gun, pay and walk out. Once in a while, there are random checks to make sure people are scanning everything.
- Post office: Some Carrefours have a small post office counter located near the entrance to buy stamps and send letters and packages.
- Mini snack bar restaurant: called “Bon App,” where you can pick up something to eat.
- Catering services: Carrefour has a pretty good selection of platters perfect for Cocktail dînatoire, birthday parties and other events. They include Sushi platters, charcuterie platters, seafood platters, cheese platters, and other buffet and cocktail finger food platters.
- Meal kit delivery service: Carrefour has a meal kit delivery service similar to Hello Fresh called Quitoque (KEY-TOKH)
- Carrefour Drive: Order your groceries online, then drive up to a special area to pick up your order.
- Delivery service: Some Carrefours offer one-hour delivery. You can also order a smaller selection of groceries via
ubereats and deliveroo
- Gas station:
- Laundry mat: Not every Carrefour has a laundry mat, but the one in Villiers-en-Bière does.
- Moving car rental
- eyeglass department
- Purchase insurance for your home and car
- Banking and branded credit cards through their bank CRF.
- Purchase tickets and shows,
- Book department
- Bike department
- Mobile Phones:
- Para pharmacy: A Para Pharmacie sells non-medicinal products, such as specialized health, beauty and skincare products.
- Makeup and cosmetics
- Auto department: where you can find windshield wipers, oil, and auto cleaning supplies.
- Moving supplies: boxes, tape, etc.
- DIY & Home repair: lightbulbs, nails, outlet cords, etc.
- Home And Kitchen: Furniture, pots and pans, Utensils and more.
- Wine and alcohol
Other Hypermarkets in France (comparable to Walmart)
Most supermarket chains have a hypermarket. As of this writing, there are 2000 hypermarkets in France.
2) E. Leclerc Hypermarket
The largest Leclerc hypermarket in Gouesnou near Brest France in Brittany.
3) Auchan Hypermarket
The third-largest hypermarket in all of France is an Auchan store located at Noyelles-Godault in Pas-de-Calais
4) Cora Hypermarket in France
Cora’s largest hypermarket in France is located in Mundolsheim, near Strasbourg.
5) Casino Géant
Casino Géant is the fifth largest hypermarket chain in the world and the fourth largest in France after Carrefour, E.Leclerc and Auchan.
6) Monoprix Hypermarkets
Monoprix tend to be a little more upscale than Carrefours, and so their prices might be a little more expensive.
8) Hyper U
Lidl is a German store, but they are located all over France and very popular for having rock bottom prices.

The most famous limestone crags on the North Wales Coast are those on the Great Orme, but there are also other quarries nearby that have been developed more recently.
These crags are located away from the mountains, near the seaside towns of Llandudno and Colwyn Bay. The A55 higway provides easy access.

A Moment of Clarity.
"When is the last time you heard a truly big idea coming from the right that could become law and could move this country forward? Don’t worry, I’ll wait. Exactly. Silence.
They are less interested in making laws that get things done than in making laws that prevent people from doing things. They want to halt progress and rewind it a few decades. For them, what used to be is always better than what can be, and that is a fatal logic flaw in a dynamic society.
...Republicans are so consumed with the mistaken notion that they are speaking for the American people that they refuse to recognize the change in the people of America.
So, absent ideas, we are forced to watch the G.O.P. wallow in frustration, and hold back American progress in doing so.
This isn’t about Obamacare, this is about Obama, and the country knows it and is paying for it."

Head To Stampede Toyota in Calgary for 48,000-Kilometre Service
When your vehicle has driven 48,000 kilometres, it deserves a bit of extra attention. When your car, truck, van, or SUV has reached this distance, bring it to Stampede Toyota. We may be a Toyota dealership, but our 48,000-kilometre service is filled with maintenance that automobiles of all makes and models can use. Schedule your appointment online, and then visit us at Stampede Toyota. You’ll find we’re well worth the drive from Airdrie or Chestermere.
Since it’s recommended that you have your tires rotated every 8,000 kilometres, this also falls under the 48,000-kilometre service. When you drive, all four tires don’t wear down evenly. Often, the front tires wear faster than the rear ones. Tire rotations switch the position of the tires so that each set will have a chance to rest. Having your tires rotated regularly is a great way to make sure they have long lifespans.
Engine Oil Change
The oil that runs through your vehicle’s engine provides vital lubrication. Without this lubrication, the friction in the engine would quickly cause massive damage. Oil doesn’t last forever, so regular oil changes are necessary to ensure that your engine stays in good condition.
Lubrication of Door Hinges and Other Moving Parts
Over time, the door hinges and various other moving parts on the body of your vehicle may have trouble moving as smoothly as they once did. To make things smooth and effortless again, the technicians will lubricate the hinges and other parts.
Engine Air Filter Replacement
Internal combustion engines require three things to function: fuel, air, and compression (gasoline-powered engines require one further element: spark). The engine air filter makes it so that the air entering your vehicle’s engine is free of contaminants. Over time, it will get clogged and will need to be replaced. When we replace it as part of our 48,000-kilometre service, your engine will be able to enjoy clean air again.
Inspecting Various Components & Systems
Finally, our technicians will inspect various systems and components in your vehicle to make sure everything is as it should be. They’ll inspect the lights and windshield wiper blades to make sure that your visibility is best. They’ll also test the fuel system, ensuring that gasoline is delivered from the fuel tank to the engine just as it should be. The cooling system keeps your engine from overheating, so they’ll also check that. In addition, they’ll make sure that the driveshaft, brakes, steering system, and other components are in good condition.

Though Marvel has announced movies going out over the next several years, the company has made a point to not announce the title of the fourth Avengers film just yet. Why? Well, it’d apparently ruin Infinity War.
The wait is almost over. While we’re hurtling toward the highly anticipated premiere of director James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in movie theaters, new images from the Marvel movie have been released.

Party girl Eugenie, the younger daughter of the Duke of York, Prince Andrew, and Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, braved the chill while waiting for her sister Beatrice and Harry as they celebrated in Verbier, Switzerland.
Prince Harry is said to have flown in to celebrate at his close friend Guy Pelly’s new nightclub, Public, which opened in the upmarket resort a month ago. Singer James Blunt, dressed in a Superman outfit complete with cape, visited a bar with the Prince before they moved on to the new venue. Later, the party moved to his house where he entertained the royals until dawn.
The expensive Swiss town has become a favourite destination for Eugenie, 21, and Beatrice, 23, after they were introduced to it by their mother.
They have often taken an annual break with Formula 1 racing tycoon and Verbier property owner Paddy McNally, who was the Duchess’s boyfriend before she married Prince Andrew in 1986.
Princess Eugenie celebrates New Year with Prince Harry and other celebrities
Prince Harry, 27, arrived on Thursday after taking an easyJet flight to Geneva with a group of male friends for his first ski holiday since a family trip in 2005.
But the Army Air Corps pilot was unable to hit the slopes due to heavy snow, winds and avalanche warnings.
If weekend reports are correct, Harry will be heading to even colder climes soon. He is said to be planning an ascent of Mount Everest during this year.

Oscar fever has reached a fevered pitch as the fevered rivalry between Steve McQueen’s 12 Years a Slave and Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity spreads like wild-fever… Okay, so it’s not quite that exciting of a race, though the 86th Academy Awards does have a sense of uncertainty in its Best Picture race. It’s the historical filmmaking of McQueen up against the nuts and bolts visuals of Cuarón’s work, with David O. Russell’s American Hustle looking to play spoiler.
But like in 2011 (here) and 2012 (here), I’m not particularly impressed with the slate of nominations in contention. Like those years, I’ve taken refuge in creating my own ballot and winners. I can dream, can’t I?
Best Actress in a Supporting Role
Natasha Calis, “The Harvest”
Suzanne Clément, “Laurence Anyways”
Angela McEwan, “Nebraska”
Julianne Nicholson, “August: Osage County”
Mickey Sumner, “Frances Ha”
I’ve been particularly out of sync with this year’s actual Best Supporting Actress category. While the Academy selected performances from both Nebraska and August: Osage County, the cited performances from June Squibb and Julia Roberts didn’t really offer their respective pictures much to latch onto. And while Greta Gerwig garnered much of the indie support for Frances Ha, her co-star Mickey Sumner gives just as much into an underappreciated and complex character. Natasha Calis gives one of the best performances of the year in a little seen picture featuring both Michael Shannon and Samantha Morton; the unknown performer stands her ground in one of the most incredible child performances in sometime. But it’s Suzanne Clément, the sometimes friend, sometimes lover, sometimes enemy of Xavier Dolan’s Laurence Anyway that floored me. In the picture’s most compelling scene, the frustrations of dealing with her lover’s sexual identity reaches a boiling point where she lashes out against a waiter, the unfortunate victim of so much pent up emotional strain simmering behind her eyes.
Best Actor in a Supporting Role
James Franco, “Spring Breakers”
Ben Foster, “Ain’t Them Bodies Saints”
John Goodman, “Inside Llewyn Davis”
Jonah Hill, “The Wolf of Wall Street”
Keith Stanfield, “Short Term 12”
The year’s supporting actor bids weren’t particularly strong though those selected here all cover a fairly broad landscape of methods. In a way, none of them really settle for a middle ground. The subdued tenderness of Ben Foster and Keith Stanfield’s performances weren’t ever going to generate much buzz but possess a refined skill for underplaying material ripe for melodrama. Meanwhile, John Goodman continues doing what he does in the Coens’ films while Jonah Hill reconfirms his vital comic presence. James Franco’s work in Spring Breakers is simply on a different level though, essentially signaling that the actor’s range extends far beyond anyone could have predicted.
Best Actress in a Lead Performance
Cate Blanchett, “Blue Jasmine”
Julie Delpy, “Before Midnight”
Greta Gerwig, “Frances Ha”
Brie Larson, “Short Term 12”
Tallie Medel, “The Unspeakable Act”
I have a deep-rooted admiration for Short Term 12, in large part because it’s a film that I share particular experiences with. The film’s structure, narrative, and overarching style leave something to be desired, but it’s the performances that allow the picture’s lesser qualities to be elevated. It resonates and Brie Larson is a big part of allowing that to happen. All the other performances, from the behemoth that is Cate Blanchett to the microbudget newcomer performance from Tallie Medel to the somewhere in between works of Julie Delpy and Greta Gerwig, would deserve accolades on most other years. But Brie Larson broke through like no one else.
Best Actor in a Lead Performance
Chiwetel Ejiofor, “12 Years a Slave”
Will Forte, “Nebraska”
Masaharu Fukuyama, “Like Father, Like Son”
Oscar Isaac, “Inside Llewyn Davis”
Joaquin Phoenix, “Her”
Legitimately, all of these could take it for me on any given day. All the talk early in 2013 about the diversity of performances among men were true: there are about five other performances, from Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street to the pair of lead performances in Drug War that would’ve made the cut. Ejiofor was remarkable. Who thought Forte had that kind of performance in him? Isaac anchors a Coen classic and Phoenix continues his string of impressive performances with a one-man show. But it’s Masaharu Fukuyama’s deliberately unlikable character that has resonated with me so much since Like Father, Like Son screened at the Chicago International Film Festival. As a strict father discovering that his son is not of his own blood, his attempts to reconcile that wounded relationship while forging another one is handled with such incredible delicacy. It’s a poignant and remarkably restrained performance that was not met with enough accolades - thankfully, the film may find new life as it is currently being screened in select cities.
Joel Coen and Ethan Coen, “Inside Llewyn Davis”
Amat Escalante, “Heli”
James Gray, “The Immigrant”
Richard Linklater, “Before Midnight”
Terrence Malick, “To the Wonder”
Best Director, or the category with about twenty right answers. In the end, the craft on display in 2013 was of excellent quality, though much of it came from already established directors. Only Amat Escalante’s work came as a genuine surprise; a director who is leading his country with a type of deliberate and cerebral style that deserves a wider audience. Malick’s output is achieving a level of poetic lyricism that most are still struggling to catch up with. James Gray is slowly eeking his way up a pantheon of American directors who have developed a style of such elegance and formal sophistication. Richard Linklater’s efforts rarely call attention to itself, but his restrained style is a work such richly composed images and delicate camera movement. Any director could take this, but the choice was clear since I saw Inside Llewyn Davis in late October: it’s the Coen’s best film.
“In the House”
“Inside Llewyn Davis”
“Is the Man Who is Tall Happy?”
“To the Wonder”
“The Wolf of Wall Street”
My top ten of 2013 has remained steady since my original list posted a few months ago though it’s as fluid in its movement as ever. If this ballot has proven anything, it’s that many of these films possess qualities that are among the best of their craft. But for top-to-bottom execution and the intangible factor of speaking to my own concerns, both personally and cinematically, the Coens’ Inside Llewyn Davis dominates over all. As an audience and as a critic, there tends to be efforts to condense a film’s affect to its time of release - Inside Llewyn Davis is the sort of the film that I suspect, years from now, will remain a personal favorite.
8 - “Inside Llewyn Davis”
7 - “Her”
6 - “The Immigrant”, “Spring Breakers”
4 - “12 Years a Slave”, “Before Midnight”, “Only God Forgives”, “To the Wonder”
3 - “At Berkeley”, “Drug War”, “The Grandmaster”, “Heli”, “In the House”, “Nebraska”,
2 - “A Touch of Sin”, “Ain’t Them Bodies Saints”, “Frances Ha”, “Is the Man Who is Tall Happy?” “Laurence Anyways”, “Like Father, Like Son”, “Pacific Rim”, “Short Term 12”, “Stoker” “The Wolf of Wall Street”, “The World’s End”
1 - “The Act of Killing” “August: Osage County”, “Bastards”, “Blue is the Warmest Color”, “Blue Jasmine”, “Contracted”, “The Great Gatsby”, “The Harvest”, “Neighboring Sounds”, “Passion”, “The Place Beyond the Pines”, “Prisoners”, “Stories We Tell”, “These Birds Walk”, “The Unspeakable Act”
4 - “Inside Llewyn Davis”
2 - “Her”, “Spring Breakers”
1 - “At Berkeley”, “Bastards”, “Before Midnight”, “Contracted”, “The Immigrant”, “In the House”, “Is the Man Who is Tall Happy?”, “Laurence Anyways”, “Like Father, Like Son”, “Pacific Rim”, “Short Term 12”, “Stoker”

Ozzie Guillen, manager of the Chicago White Sox, after his team was involved in a bench-clearing brawl Sunday:
“I’ve hit people before on purpose. Yes I have. Because that’s my job. Protect my players.”
I’m sure the commissioner’s office will find this intriguing.
Of course, Ozzie is right, and every manager has done the same thing, and will continue to. As Jeff Passan says, this aspect of the game is self-regulating — or should be. But busybodies who sit in the air-conditioned offices of the Commissioner like to pretend that they can set up rules — to tell athletes who sweat in 110 degree heat and get 98 mph fastballs thrown in their vicinity on a daily basis — just how these things should work.
Good luck with that.
So Ozzie will get fined, and nothing will change, including Ozzie’s propensity for talking too much. But that’s what makes him so entertaining; he says, out loud and with no hesitation, the exact same things that so many of us are already thinking.
I’m picturing him as White House Press Secretary … yelling at arrogant media buffoons, spittle flying off of his lips, turning 6 shades of red, threatening to take an ice pick to all four tires of somebody’s car after the press conference …

A series of prominent former parliamentary candidates as well as a Momentum activist are engaged in a battle to win the Labour nomination in one of the party’s most important target seats.
Jeremy Corbyn has made a priority of Thurrock, in south Essex – where the Tories held on with a majority of just 345 in June – as he aims to have candidates in place in 75 key marginals by Christmas.
John Kent, the former leader of the town’s council, lost out to Jackie Doyle-Price but is seen as the favourite for the nomination again this time around.
Gavin Callaghan, chairman of the policy and resources committee on Basildon council – effectively the leader – was not included on the longlist, to the surprise of many. He was seen as having strong local support and fought the safe Tory seat of Basildon and Billericay in 2015.
Thurrock was placed at number two on Labour’s list of target seats in the run-in to the 2015 general election. Polly Billington, a former aide to Ed Miliband, lost by just 536 votes as UKIP split the anti-Tory vote.
These are some of the people thought to have applied this time around:
The Unite member was Labour’s candidate in the relatively safe Tory seat of Hornchurch and Upminster in the general election. He is also a councillor in Barking and Dagenham in East London.
The Thurrock candidate in this year’s general election appears to be the favourite this time around. He is a former leader of the town’s council and is seen as having support from several unions.
The former Labour group leader on Basildon council has been well-known in Essex for many years. He fought the neighbouring South Basildon and East Thurrock seat at the election in June.
The nurse is backed by Momentum and has written occasionally for LabourList. She provoked controversy when she appeared on the BBC this year to criticise the Tories’ NHS plans while wearing her NHS uniform.
The Chelmsford candidate in the last two general elections who is well-known across the county. He has written for LabourList and also stood as Essex police and crime commissioner in 2016.

In October of 1978, Mark and Lori Skoglund purchased the meat locker in West Bend, IA and began creating products under the name of Skoglund Meats & Locker. Learning on the job with expert advice, and with the help of the Iowa Meat Association, Mark launched Skoglund Meats as a business focused on custom processing of local farmers' pork and beef. Mark and Lori grew Skoglund Meats to become a more diversified company, developing specialty products for retail and wholesale.
In 1982, Skoglund Meats became more involved with the Iowa Meat Association and entered products into the state meat competition. Skoglund Meats first entered a Smoked Turkey and earned fourth place. Over the years, Skoglund Meats & Locker earned the awards of Grand Champion and Champion on various products including Ham, Bacon, Summer Sausage, Jerky, Pork Loin, and Beef Sticks!
In 1994, we made an addition to the Locker. The space was quickly used up as we pursued new opportunities and projects. Skoglund Meats began to market its products to local grocery stores and through fundraising groups. In 2002, the Skoglunds purchased the recipe to Mikes Wieners, a very popular old-fashioned, corn cob-smoked wiener that was produced years ago in West Bend.
Construction of a new locker plant on Highway 15 began in 2003, and was completed in 2004. In the new plant, Skoglund Meats has had the capacity to expand its retail and wholesale business as well as mail orders.
In January 2015, Mark and Lori sold the business to their son, Ned. Ned has enjoyed creating new Skoglund Meats products and introducing more people to the Skoglund Meats brand.
In addition to processing local livestock, Skoglund Meats is well known in the area for deer processing. Skoglund Meats continues to work with fundraisers as well as process custom and retail products. Always experimenting with new ideas and upgrading equipment and procedures, the Skoglunds are committed to producing high-quality, hand-crafted products. Skoglund Meats continues a tradition of quality and excellence that began over 30 years ago!

Moving Into Your Arms
Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon. If I did then I wouldn't be writing this. Naoko Takeuchi owns Sailor Moon.
Chapter 10- A Parent's Love
Five years later
Location: The Palace Gardens
"Serenity, this place is beautiful. Mina and Endymion did a wonderful job creating the gardens." Rei said while she and Serenity were leaning on a tree.
Serenity pointed to a hill that wasn't too far away. "Speaking of the couple Rei, they are over there. Look at the king and queen of Crystal Tokyo."
Neo Queen Venus was resting her head on King Endymion's lap. She laid herself carefully on the blanket so that her long, beige gown would not get dirty.
"They are so cute together Rei."
"I know Serenity. It is almost like they were destined for each other, just like us."
A little pink-haired girl came running towards the king and queen with some flowers.
"Is that-?" Rei questioned.
"Mommy! Daddy! I picked these for you."
"Oh sweetie these are adorable!" Neo Queen Venus exclaimed. "Thank you Chibiusa."
King Endymion took a flower and placed it in his wife's hair just like he did over a thousand years ago. He then took another flower and placed it in his daughter's hair.
"I'm surrounded by two beautiful ladies whom I love very much. I couldn't ask for a better family." the king spoke in a deep voice.
Chibiusa looked on as her father leaned in to kiss her mother.
"Not in front of our daughter Mamoru." the queen whispered in a giggle.
"Why not? She should know that her father loves her mother. Chibiusa, I love your mother a lot. She makes very happy. I hope one day that you will be able to find a person that makes you happy."
"But you and mommy already make me happy."
King Endymion hugged his daughter. "Good. That means you can be my little girl forever then."
"Yup. Can I go play now daddy?"
"Of course you can honey." Neo Queen Venus answered.
"Yay! I promise to be very careful."
"Okay sweetie. Have fun!"
Serenity and Rei stared at each other with their jaws dropped.
"Chibiusa is now the daughter of King Endymion and Neo Queen Venus?" Serenity asked her lover.
"That's what it looks like, but how? Setsuna said that we were the ones keeping her alive." Rei answered.
"You two were." a voice called out from behind them. They turned around and saw Setsuna.
"Setsuna, you said that everything would be explained in time. That was over a thousand years ago. I think now would be a great time to explain how." Serenity said.
"Very well. On the day before Rei confessed her love for you, I glanced into the future to see what would happen. Crystal Tokyo was still there but Chibiusa ceased to exist so I went to Crystal Tokyo on that day and explained to Endymion and Serenity about the changes that were soon to come because of what was happening in the past. It turned out that Endymion already had his suspicions about who Serenity truly loved but they still married only out of destiny. I offered to take Chibiusa for them before she was erased from history in that timeline and used my powers to preserve her."
"Preserved her?" Rei questioned.
"Yes. However, I could not preserve her forever. She had to have parents that lived in the future relatively soon or she would not have existed and that's where you two came in."
Setsuna could see that Rei and Serenity were confused. They had they "get to the point" look on their faces so she simplified her statements.
"Chibiusa is alive because you brought Mamoru and Minako together in the past. She retains her looks and personality from the power of the Ginzuishou that Serenity rebirthed in Minako.
"Ooooooh!" Serenity and Rei both said in unison.
"Had you two not brought them together, then Chibiusa would not have existed. The Ginzuishou would not have been rebirthed into anyone and Earth would still be frozen."
Serenity and Rei smiled at each other. They then saw Chibiusa run towards Setsuna with a bunch of flowers in her hand.
"Here you go Setsuna." Chibiusa said while picking out a few flowers to give her.
"Why thank you Small Lady."
Chibiusa then turned her gaze to Serenity and Rei and gave them flowers. Serenity and Rei's jaws dropped again.
"You can see us Chibiusa?!" Serenity asked in shock.
"Yes Serenity. Setsuna gave me the ability to see you and Rei. I can never forget my first mama. I still love you."
Tears glistened in Serenity's eyes as she kneeled to hug her former daughter. "Oh sweetie I love you too. It looks like you are getting along great with your mother and father."
"Yes mama. I love my daddy and new mommy so much! They give me a lot of love."
"That is great sweetheart! I'm glad they are treating you well."
Rei attempted to slide away from the two embracing in order not to ruin the moment. However, she was pulled down with them by Chibiusa's arm.
"Don't leave Rei." Chibiusa commanded. "I love you just as much as I love Serenity. I'm glad my mommy can be with you forever.
Rei tried to keep her own eyes from glistening with tears as Chibiusa latched onto her.
"Well thank you Chibiusa. I love you too hun."
"I wish you two could stay with us forever."
"Oh but we will sweetie. We will always be with you forever." Serenity said.
"Yeah and if you ever need to talk to us, just meet us right here at this tree and we will be there for you." Rei added.
"Really? They can do that Setsuna?" Chibiusa asked.
Setsuna nodded. "You're a very wise girl for your age so I think you can handle it."
"Chibiusa sweetie, the picnic is ready!" Neo Queen Venus called out to her.
"I have to go now but I will talk to you two soon." Chibiusa said as she hugged the women one more time. "Bye mommy. Bye Rei. Bye Setsuna".
The ladies said their goodbyes to Chibiusa and watched her run up the hill to her parents. They were already feeding grapes to each other. The king and queen even made a game out of it by trying to catch the grapes in each other's mouths.
"Mommy, daddy, you two are silly!"
Neo Queen Venus smiled at her daughter. "Silly and in love dear. Here try to catch one yourself."
Venus quickly threw a grape at Chibiusa. To her surprise, daughter actually caught it in her mouth. Her parents cheered her on and continued with their game. Chibiusa looked downhill and saw her former mother sharing a kiss with Rei. Setsuna was already gone. Serenity and Rei smiled back at Chibiusa, waving goodbye to her one last time before they disappeared hand in hand.
"She's in good hands Rei."
"Hai. I know that Minako will raise her up to be a proper lady."
"Do you think there's an arcade in Crystal Tokyo?"
"Probably. Why Serenity?"
"Because I want to challenge you again. The winner gets a kiss."
"I know what you really want. I think you're addicted Serenity. Have you no self-control?"
"Haha, I don't either. Let's go!"
"I love you Rei, always and forevermore "
"I love you too Serenity, always and forever."
"Chibiusa, who were you waving at just now?" Neo Queen Venus asked.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you mommy."
"Well, I was waving to angels."
King Endymion and Neo Queen Venus grinned at each other.
"You mean Serenity and Rei? They like to show up from time to time." King Endymion said.
"You know about them daddy?"
King Endymion pulled his daughter closer to him. "I sure do. In fact, it is because of them that I have an amazing wife and daughter now." Silent tears fell from his eye.
"Don't cry daddy."
"I'm sorry dear. I just get emotional every time I think about it."
Neo Queen Venus wrapped her arm around her husband and kissed his cheek.
Endymion wiped the tears from his eyes and looked at his family once more. "We should eat now before the food spoils."
The royal family had their picnic together. When they were finished, Chibiusa was the first one to go back into the palace. Before Endymion and Venus went back in, they turned around and looked at the sky.
"Thanks Rei. Thanks Usako." The king said in a gentle voice.
Endymion felt an object hit his head. "Ow!" He rubbed his head and investigated the ground. He saw a small pebble by his foot.
The queen kissed Endymion's head. "I bet that's her way of saying you're welcome."
The couple laughed as they went inside.
End of chapter 10
So what did you think about the story? Did you love the story? Was this story just plain awful? Reviews are always appreciated, whether they are good or bad. Don't keep me in the dark. Let me know what you liked the most. Perhaps you were more interested in the Rei x Usagi romance. Maybe you were more interested in the Chibiusa aspect. This is my first completed story. I would like to thank all of my reviewers and I hope you all enjoyed the ride. Looking back on it, this fanfic should have been titled "Moving On Into Your Arms" instead but "Moving Into Your Arms" is still good. Thank you all for reading!

Court accepts appeal by Finance Ministry to temporarily ban Jerusalem municipality from staging strike of educational institutions, as residents forced to endure the continuing inconveniences of sanitation strikes, leading to littered streets and a partially crippled light rail.
Ynet writers|Published: 30.01.17 , 11:06
Jerusalem’s residents awoke to a partially crippled light rail system caused by trash littered all over its tracks on Monday morning, as the municipality continues to battle with the Finance Ministry over a budget dispute.
The garbage sprawled throughout downtown Jerusalem comes in the wake of a decision by the Jerusalem Magistrates’ Court Sunday night to issue a decree against a strike of children’s educational institutions and preschools planned by the city Mayor Nir Barkat which was set to take place Monday morning.
The Jerusalem City Council decided on Sunday to increase the intensity of their strike after a transfer of 800 million shekels in funds for the city’s budget was delayed. The strike on the educational institutions was planned to begin in addition to strikes in most city departments, such as sanitation and water, which are already in progress.
As a result of the obstacles composed of food, cardboard boxes and various other forms of waste, the light rail service has been compelled to limit its operations between Pisgat Ze’ev to Damascus Gate and from Mount Herzl and the Central Bus Station.
Officials at the Ministry of Finance, whose office appealed to the court to thwart the strike, told Ynet that Nir Barkat is a failed mayor.
“He tries to pass his managerial failings onto the State. An accountant for the municipality needs to be appointed because of Barkat’s failings,” the official said.
He further accused Barkat of having a lack of interest in Jerusalem, claiming instead that he has his sights firmly set on the primaries for the Likud party.
“In order to stand a realistic chance of making the Likud list for the next Knesset, Barkat is putting Jerusalem on strike,” the official asserted. “This strike is part of his cynical political campaign and the residents of Jerusalem are being used as the set.”
The court announced that it was issuing a temporary ban on the strike of elementary educational institutions after studying reasons posited justifying its implementation, saying that it required time to make a decision.
Residents of the capital vented over having to endure, not for the first time, the filth and waste which has spilled over onto their streets as disputes have simmered in the political establishment.
“It is absurd that the municipality is fighting for a budget and the ones who are hit in the end are the residents, the weak public of Jerusalem,” one resident fumed. “Neither the Finance Ministry or the municipality cares that this feud is harming us. We need to take the piles of garbage and put them at the entrance of the ministry and perhaps then the budget issue will be solved.”

Jerusalem municipal strike worsens YNET
Conditions in Jerusalem worsen as the city goes out on strike to protest the severe delay in government funding, calling for an immediate fix to the problem.
Roi Yanovsky|Last update: 29.01.17 , 22:32
The Jerusalem City Council decided on Sunday to increase the intensity of their strike after a transfer of 800 million shekels in funds for the city’s budget was delayed. Starting Monday, schools will be delayed and preschools will be closed all across the city. That is in addition to strikes in most city departments, such as sanitation and water, which are already in progress.
The city council stated that the lack of funding might lead to employment terminations and severely damaging the services granted by the city to the public.
Starting Monday there will be widespread strikes across the city, in particular in front of the city’s treasury department. Jerusalem City Mayor Nir Barkat called for the Minister of Finance Moshe Kahlon to immediately step in and fix the issue “to prevent civilian suffering.”
The treasury department has responded to Jerusalem city council’s decision to broaden the strike:
“The Jerusalem city’s systematic exploitation of its citizens as hostages is cynical and inappropriate. The treasury department has already transferred 525 million shekels to the city, and even though this is a budgetary addition from last year, the mayor of Jerusalem chooses to act in budgetary and civil irresponsibility towards the children of the city who deserve proper education and are negatively affected by this for the second time in the last two months.”
“The mayor will have to bear responsibility for the parents who will be forced to leave their children at home as a result of this unnecessary strike that reflects inadequate budgetary behavior and capricious and impractical courses of action by the city.”

This week has been a little nutty and I’m just now getting around to watching the Dark Knight and Hobbit trailers. The Dark Knight looks spectacular. Yes, Bane needs to be dubbed ASAP, and I vaguely think the addition of Marion Cotillard to the cast is superfluous and might just one element too many, but I love Selena Kyle representing the 99% – that rings true for her character and feels timely – and of course the football field scene looks brilliant. I’m excited. The Hobbit? Not so much. I hate to reduce everything to BOYLUST, but part of the appeal of Lord of the Rings was the luminous and otherworldly beauty that Elijah Wood exuded. Not a day passes on Tumblr when faggots aren’t RHAPSODIZING about the blue of his eyes or the love between Sam and Frodo or his expression in THIS scene or the way he smiled in THAT scene. And frankly, I just don’t think Martin Freeman has that same appeal. DON’T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT. Sex sells. You need to fall in love with the leading characters in order for your movie to work. I argue this all the time. I remember last year when Universal tried to reboot the Wolfman movie. I took one look at the cast (Benicio del Toro and Anthony Hopkins) and said “flop.” You cannot have a werewolf movie in 2011 with ugly werewolves. And I was right. Now I’m saying the same thing about The Hobbit. You can’t have a Middle Earth with ugly hobbits. Mark my words people. This movie will not inspire the same passion. The fanboys will go nuts, but the girls and gays will stay away. Feel free to argue with me in the comments, and tell me which one you’re more excited to see.

The European Union reaffirms its resolute support to Ukraine and stands ready to continue firm and consistent sectoral cooperation in various fields from security and customs reform to integration into the common energy and digital markets. Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman delivered this statement, while summing up the visit to Brussels.
According to Volodymyr Groysman, the key topic was the situation in the Azov Sea. "I proposed our partners to consider the issue of mirror-like sanctions. If Russians block vessels in the Kerch Strait then tit-for-tat responses should be introduced. Only in this way the aggressor country will understand the impact of its actions against us. Another issue is the infrastructure. It was proposed to send an assessment mission to assess the projects of infrastructure development of the Azov Sea and eastern Ukraine", the Prime Minister stressed.
The Head of Government informed about the signing of eight agreements covering various spheres, including education, strengthening of contacts between people, implementation of energy efficiency technologies totaling worth EUR 400 million.
"We received full-fledged support from the European Union and we are committed to further cooperation", the Prime Minister underscored.
On December 17, Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman paid a working visit to Brussels. He held talks with the High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini during which the parties stressed the necessity to consolidate international pressure on the aggressor state and strengthen the sanctions policy, first and foremost, in order to liberate Ukrainian sailors and military vessels, as well as to restore freedom of navigation in the Sea of Azov.
The Head of Government also held the fifth meeting of Ukraine–European Union Association Council during which the results of the implementation of the Association Agreement were summed up and the work on shaping the sectoral blueprint for cooperation in economic, energy, digital and security spheres was kicked off.
During a meeting with President of the European Council Donald Tusk the Prime Minister proposed the leadership of the EU to launch programs of targeted support of the Azov regions in the framework of sanctions policy against the aggressor country and to introduce measures aimed to restore freedom of navigation in the region and development of Berdyansk and Mariupol ports.
The Head of Government met with President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker and Vice-Presidents of the European Commission Valdis Dombrovskis and Maroš Šefčovič. The parties discussed the provision of a second tranche under the fourth macro-financial programme in the amount of EUR 500 million in early 2019, possibility of application of European Union’s internal gas market principles in Ukraine in order to preserve gas transit through the territory of Ukraine, joint management of the GTS and active implementation of sectoral support projects.

I’m lucky enough to live in one of the most photogenic cities, full of landmarks recognizable worldwide. The second in our series of Wednesday Night Shoots in Vegas was just as enjoyable as the first. My friend, Garret Winslow and I headed out, driving toward the strip, discussing what we wanted to shoot this evening.
If I Can Make It There…
We settled on an iconic shot of New York New York at nautical sunset. This is an awesome time of day to get gorgeous deep blue sky, highlighted with the accents of the cities lights begining to stand out in the dark. Last week we took advantage of this light to get shots of City Center. You can see my pic from that shoot here.
To Color or Not To Color
As gorgeous as the colors can be at this time of day, when I was doing the edits of these photos I was more drawn to a less color-saturated image. Here is a sepia and black & white version of my NYNY shots.

Here’s a black & white version of another angle. Seeing the NYNY casino/hotel/resort/spa/etc… in black and white kind of gives it more of the feel of the real version (to me, anyway).

We all go through difficult times every once in a while, and during these times we might need the support of family or friends. However, not everyone has access to a healthy and real support system. And what is even more unfortunate is that not everyone is aware of what a real support system is. Luckily, we are here to shed some light on that!
So what is a support system? And how important is it really?
In short, a support system consists of people who provide us with love, care and support. These people are on your side, and help you navigate whatever life throws your way. A real support system consists of people who respect you, care about you and are supportive of who you are as a person. They do not judge you, nor do they make you feel bad about yourself. One of the most important characteristics of a support system is that these people make you feel at peace and have a positive attitude when you talk or spend time with them. We all need these kinds of people, because at the end of the day we are humans and we need one another to get through life.
The benefits of having a support system goes beyond just having someone root for you and support you through thick and thin, and here are some of these other benefits:
- Gives a sense of belonging
With people we can rely on, we can start to flourish and grow throughout life.
- Reduces Stress
Talking about our worries and trouble with someone we trust and can count on can help reduce our stress. Sharing our problems and failures can be a great way to look at things from a different and less stressful perspective.
- Reduces feelings of loneliness
We all sometimes feel alone, and having people we know we can call and ask for help can be a great way to reduce any sense of loneliness we might have. Because the reality of it is that we are not alone.
- Provides emotional and mental support
People who are in our support system are good for our mental and emotional health. And these kinds of people are important to our overall well being.
However, you cannot yield these benefits if you do not make use of your support system. One of the most important things to be aware of is that a support system only counts if you use it. You cannot say you do not have a support system if you have never asked your family or friends for help or support. I was that person, and it does not work. Those who want to support and help you won’t magically know unless you are vocal about it.
During one of my major depressive episodes, one of my close friends told me, “Sama, you need to welcome love from your family and friends, you need our support so let us help.”
And what she told me that day still resonates with me, and I carry it with me everywhere I go. We all need the support of others, and there is absolutely nothing wrong about asking for help.
What about you, what does a support system look like to you? And who are the people you call your support system? Share your answers with us!

Russia to outline security proposals at Caucasus talks Nov.182008-10-17 15:40
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Friday Russia would set out specific security proposals at international talks on the Georgian conflict in Geneva on November 18, reports RIA-Novosti.gt-en-newsitem-inside
"There will be no discussions on the status of [Georgia's breakaway South] Ossetia and Abkhazia, but there will be negotiations on regional security, and Russia has specific proposals on how security should be ensured," Lavrov said.
In particular, he said Russia would insist on an arms embargo to Georgia "to prevent its uncontrolled militarization," and would urge the EU to fulfill its obligations in the region.
The first round of the Geneva talks was suspended until November on Wednesday, due to concerns over the status of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, recognized by Russia as independent states.
The Russian minister also said South Ossetians have filed over 2,000 lawsuits against Georgia with the International Criminal Court.
Lavrov said the Geneva talks had hit "procedural snags" due to poor preparation by the organizers. They should have been "more transparent and consulted, including with us, on how best to resolve the procedural issues," he told Russian journalists on his return from Astana.
On Wednesday, Russia and Georgia accused each other of blocking the talks.
"Colleagues from the EU, OSCE and UN were too optimistic about Georgia's position on international discussions, and Georgia just banged the door and refused to sit down at the negotiating table with everyone's participation," Lavrov said.
Russia and Georgia fought a brief war in August after Georgia launched a military offensive against South Ossetia in an attempt to regain control over the republic, which split from Georgia in the early 1990s.

Your cart is currently empty. Keep shopping.Close
It’s a nice summer day out, you’re freshly showered and you’re sitting on the subway. But your clothes soon begin to emit an unpleasant odor? You feel uncomfortable and don’t understand why your shirt begins to smell so quickly?
The reason for this is that textiles are a great breeding ground for specific bacteria that are the cause of your body odor. Strictly speaking we are not responsible for the way our sweat smells. Human sweat itself is odorless. The unpleasant smell is caused by bacteria that interact with certain types of fats and proteins in your sweat. Especially prone to this are clothes made from polyester.
A solution to this problem is an anti-odor feature in textiles. This is based on two mechanisms. Firstly it uses the biocidal effect of silver. Ions are formed on the silver’s metallic surface. These ions have germicidal properties that prevent the reproduction of bacteria. In addition to inhibiting the odor, this also gives the textiles an antimicrobial effect. Secondly, the increase of bacteria can also be prevented by amino sugar polymers, which remove fats and proteins from sweat and bacteria.
Amongst other technologies, ARYS uses the HeiQ Pure SPQR technology in its products, which combines both of these mechanisms. To give our textiles the desired antimicrobial properties, our products use biologically based odor inhibitors of which 90 percent are amino sugar polymers and 10 percent are recycled micro-silver. This keeps our clothes odorless for a long time, improves your overall wellbeing on a day-to-day basis, and also reduces the necessary number of washes.

Waters, Chinese Pharmacopeia Commission Establish Joint Open Laboratory
News Jul 10, 2014
Waters Corporation announce an agreement with the Chinese Pharmacopoeia Commission (ChP) to establish a Joint Open Laboratory.
Scheduled to open before the end of 2014, the new Joint Open Laboratory will focus on in-depth research of pharmacopoeia standards, development of testing methods, methods validations and basic and advanced technical training of pharmacopoeia detection methods. Both the ChP and Waters® expect the laboratory to become one of the national technical support centers in the field of Chinese pharmaceutical standards.
"Waters is very excited about our new collaboration with the Chinese Pharmacopeia Commission," said Art Caputo, President of the Waters Division. "I am confident that this new Joint Open Laboratory will make positive contributions to assuring drug quality control in China, it will quickly become an international leader in the field of traditional Chinese pharmaceutical standards."
At the collaboration agreement signing ceremony in Beijing, Secretary General Zhang Wei of the ChP pointed out that "the ChP-Waters Joint Open Laboratory cooperation would become another milestone of the development of the ChP. This cooperation not only meets the needs of ChP’s own development, but also meets the demands of enhanced pharmacopoeia standards and improved public drug safety."
The laboratory will be outfitted with a full complement of Waters chromatography and mass spectrometry technologies, including (but not limited to) a range of ACQUITY UPLC® systems, ACQUITY UPC2® System, Xevo® tandem quadrupole and time-of-flight mass spectrometers, and a Natural Products Application Solution with UNIFI®.

Identical to the SHS M4 Cylinder Head (PAD). Made from aluminium. Has a rubber pad on the bottom where the piston head connects together with 2 O rings for improved compression. Due to the slightly thicker o-rings I find the SHS / Rocket version to be very tight on cylinders which have an internal diameter or 23.8mm or less. All manufacturers tend to differ slightly so please check. A good alternative is the XT cylinder head.

Earlier this month we reported that Patriot Coal, the second-largest coal miner east of the Mississippi, had filed for bankruptcy (again) due to “challenging market conditions.”
Summarizing, a global supply glut (which, as we’ve shown is by no means confined to coal), cheap natural gas, and efforts to curb pollution have conspired to drive prices ever lower, creating an epic downturn in the coal market, exerting enormous pressure on producers.
The latest casualty: nearly 2,000 workers at Murray Energy (where the mascot is a bald eagle).
Murray, the third-largest producer in the US, will layoff 21% of its employees with the majority of the cuts coming in West Virginia, which is staring down a $195 million budget gap thanks to the slide in coal prices.
Interestingly, CEO and founder Robert Murray is adding businesses just as fast as he’s subtracting employees in an effort to stay afloat by driving down the cost of production.
Of course, the acquisition spree is being funded by all manner of debt including three quarters of a billion in second-lien notes. Here’s WSJ:
Murray two months ago paid $1.4 billion for a controlling stake in Illinois basin miner Foresight Energy LP. The new company controls over nine billion tons of coal reserves, and can generate nearly 90 million tons of coal production annually—enough to supply 4% of the U.S.’s yearly electricity needs.
Murray, which already has roughly $1.9 billion in debt, said it would finance the purchase with new debt, including a new $1.6 billion term loan facility and approximately $860 million in second-lien senior secured notes. In late 2013, Mr. Murray paid $3.25 billion to buy five mines from Pittsburgh-based Consol Energy Inc.
How is all of this likely to turn out? Poorly and with thousands more lost jobs and thus thousands more Americans set to be "Liesman'd" out from the BLS's official numbers so the US can perpetuate the "recovery" narrative.
Don't believe us? Just ask Robert Murray himself:
“We have the absolute destruction of the coal industry. If you think it’s coming back, you don’t understand the business — or you’re smoking O.P. — because it’s not going to come back.”
