Sergio Lialin is a singer/songwriter from California. His style definitely stands out from the pack of music we have reviewed on Indie Music Plus up until now. His music is perfect for meditation, yoga or deep thinking. Don’t expect to be starting any dance parties while listening to Sergio’s music, but if you enjoy laid back Hawaiian style acoustic tunes this could become a new addition to your playlist. His new project is titled Siempre, Mi Amor or “A Tragedy, affair, and unexpected encounter.”
Sergio Lialin – Con Su Ayuda (With Your Help)
Sergio’s album cover states that it contains “Songs With Sweet Medicine For Your Life.” His music is calm and healing, and very pleasant to my ears. Sergio is good at what he does, but I wouldn’t normally pop this in the music player first. Having said that, Sergio’s music has the potential to be loved by millions. “Con Su Ayuda” isn’t breaking any new ground in the music scene, but it has a nice familiar sound (see Cat Stevens). People who like the mellow side of music are going to dig hard on Sergio.
The Crystal Heart
In “The Crystal Heart”, the feel of the music doesn’t seem to change much but it’s obviously a different song. I honestly think that this album would be great for a Yoga session. I think this is one of his intentions because Sergio definitely has a strong vision for his music that he is executing quite well. With lyrics like, “I send these prayers to the four directions” it’s obvious that Sergio is on a spiritual journey as well with his music. Even though this isn’t necessarily my genre of choice, I have immense respect for Sergio and his music. I’m sure he connects many people with his positive spiritual message.
Again, Sergio’s music wouldn’t fit at Party Central on Saturday night and I’m sure he knows that. However, Sergio’s music can still fit beautifully on Saturdays, but for a quiet night at home! I can’t find any “fatal flaws” per se in his music. Other than it being very mellow the entire time, it’s easy to listen to and reflect. The Crystal Heart is a prime example.
Arpo do Universo (The Harp of the Universe)
This is my favorite tune to be reviewed this time around for Sergio Lialin. What makes this song for me spark and stand out is the lady voice. This adds so much flavor and distinction to the song! “Arpo” starts out with about a 15 second single tone that fades into nothingness…then the song picks up with the addition of Sergio’s voice accompanied by an unnamed woman vocalist. The best part about “Arpo” is the fact that the beat picks up to a wonderfully energetic tempo after about a minute.
If you are drawn to the New Age/Spiritual genre and have an interest in musical meditation and yoga, then please support Sergio Lialin. You can pick up his latest 8-song release on Bandcamp. It comes in an eco-friendly jacket with artwork by Anderson Debernardi. You can also get unlimited streaming of Siempre, Mi Amor via the Bandcamp app, plus high-quality downloads in MP3, FLAC and more. Thank you for reading and SUPPORT INDIE MUSIC!!


KARACHI: It’s that time of the year again. October 31st is celebrated as Halloween to mark the evening before the Christian holy day of All Hallows’ Day or All Saints Day. However, it isn’t just celebrated by Christian-majority countries, but world over because Capitalism.
The origin of Halloween can be traced to the ancient Gaelic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. Over time, it is now celebrated with trick-or-treats, costume parties and pumpkin carving.
However, let’s face it we don’t have time to worry about ghosts and jins, when there’s so much to be concerned about IRL.
In fact, we made a list. Get ready to be spooked:
1. Azadi March
Activists and supporters of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam party chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman have gathered for an anti-government “Azadi March” which is on its way to Islamabad hoping to bring down the government. Let’s just say the sight of thousands of maulvis collectively raging is a little terrifying. Sleep tight everyone!
2. Making art
The Karachi Biennale launched this week, showcasing the work of various artists across the city. But all eyes are on one installation – by Adeela Suleman. The artist paid tribute to the 444 people allegedly killed in fake encounters by notorious cop Rao Anwar. The installation, however, was taken down by people claiming to be from security agencies. What followed was the KB officially disowning the artist’s work saying it did not fit in with their theme on Ecology. The incident has caused uproar, not just in the art community, but outside it as well with many denouncing censorship. Let’s be real, in this political climate, there is no space for freedom of speech and expression and that is terrifying.

3. Facebook’s political ads
Earlier this month, CEO Mark Zuckerberg defended Facebook’s decision to allow ads that contain false information. The company has come under intense scrutiny it said it would allow US President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign to run an ad with false claims about former his opponents. Why should you be scared? Because God knows what information you’re being fed via social media, and not just about the US government. This could very well relate to our own political landscape. On the other hand, try writing “men are trash” on Facebook. Your post will be immediately removed. Hmm…
4. Powerful players in the media
Another story that barely made the headlines before it was conveniently swept under the rug is Jami’s alarming revelations of being raped by a “powerful person in the media”. In a series of tweets, Jami recalled how he was assaulted 13 years ago by someone he considered a friend. He went on to detail the incident that happened, and the extent to which he was affected.
Read our full story here: Jami reveals he was raped by ‘powerful person in the media’
What was alarming was the fact that the story was watered down in the media, and while it briefly caused uproar on social media, it’s safe to say, most people have moved on, unfortunately.
5. Khalilur Rehman
Where do we even start with this? In a recent interview, screenwriter Khalilur Rehman presented his warped view of feminism, and all his comments reeked of misogyny, narcissism and a deeply troubling understanding of what equality means. While calling himself the “biggest feminist”, Rehman stated that he would only stand up for good women. He went to say that while men are simply not capable of saying no, “good women” are and should. He made other disturbing comments that need to be analyzed and called out in a separate story. Watch this space for more.

We need to reconfigure the relationships between woman and world, woman and god, woman and father, woman and man in order to move into a new age of more fluid and ethical relationships. Film is essentially a medium that enables a reconfiguration of time-space relations and furthermore a medium which- in particular forms- consistently strives to ‘penetrate’ or allude to a sense of human subjectivity. If film can pose questions of interiority and exteriority through its capacity to sculpture time and place, then it is through film that I would like to express my visions of a feminine subject in relation to faith, subjectivity and corporeality.
I intend to develop a film that expresses the relationships between woman and the divine in order to create a meaningful work drawing on a feminine imaginary. In this, I will specifically be drawing on the writings of St. Teresa of Avila under a modern feminist reading in order to create a relationship between the female imaginary and the divine, as a means to a reconfigure femininity is terms of an idea of a transcendental spirituality.
The texts of Spanish mystic St. Teresa of Avila are the subject of explorations in a number of differing practices, ranging from psychoanalysis to literary criticism. Her “texts” continue to hold relevance for their originality, formal qualities, poetic expression, and psychosexual dimensions, as well as for providing an evocative presentation of Teresa’s subjectivity.

Best day ever!
Chris Brown knows how to make an occasion really special.
His daughter, Royalty, celebrated her third birthday over the weekend and Brown definitely made sure it was a memorable one. The hip-hop sensation shared some pictures of the big day on his Instagram account, capturing some great moments with him and his daughter poolside and blowing out the candles on her cakes. They were cupcakes, but still, there were several of them.
It was a bright spot for Brown, who continues to have bad luck with the women in his life. Karrueche Tran's restraining order request against the star was heard before a judge, but since Tran didn't testify in person, the hearing has been pushed to a later.

"Everyone wants their kids to make informed choices when it comes to drugs and alcohol," Amy's dad, Mitch Winehouse, said.
"But it's such a complicated subject to understand, especially when you look at all the new legal highs that have appeared over the past few years, that it's no wonder that parents feel in the dark about what to do.
"Drugs education in schools is woefully underfunded and has been far too inconsistent.
"That's if it happens at all. When it does, it doesn't look at why people turn to drugs or drink.
"It doesn't happen with any kind of regularity. And it doesn't help teachers and parents to support the kids who really need it. That really needs to change.
"Our new secondary schools programme will give everyone - including parents, teachers and the pupils themselves - the skills and knowledge they need. That's something that will really help our young people."

I have meatcurtains (whichever version is listed in the kitchen) my question is why when I load different rom from the SD card I get different results and programs installed? On one I get google goggles added while on another I get Helix Launcher added and it removes the stock launcher. Also one of them removes stock gallery and adds 3D gallery.

UK Announces 14th Onshore Licensing Round
New UK Energy Minister Matthew Hancock announced Monday the 14th Landward Licensing Round. Applications need to be made by 2pm on October 28, 2014, with license offers expected to be made within 12 and 18 months.
Many applications are expected to be from companies engaged in unconventional drilling for shale gas and shale oil.
In a statement announcing the latest onshore licensing round, Hancock said:
"Unlocking shale gas in Britain has the potential to provide us with greater energy security, jobs and growth.
"We must act carefully, minimizing risks, to explore how much of our large resource can be recovered to give the UK a new home-grown source of energy."
The UK coalition government has strongly supported the development of a shale gas industry in the country ever since it lifted a moratorium on fracking in December 2012. In July last year, it proposed large tax breaks for shale gas producers, with Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne confirming these breaks in December in his Autumn Statement.
A recent Ernst & Young report, commissioned by the UK Onshore Operators Group, estimated that the development of a shale gas industry in the UK could create a $59 billion investment opportunity and more than 64,000 jobs.
However, there has been opposition to fracking in some quarters. The most high-profile protest so far was last summer at Balcombe, West Sussex, where up to 1,000 people took part in a "Reclaim the Power" camp.

Flash Gordon sounds like more fun than it is. The restrictions of playfield size and monotony of play (even in the advanced levels, where speed is increased but the situations remain the same) will make it fairly easy to master, and advanced players will quickly tire of it.
This could have been a good game if not for a game mechanic that requires you to assess a map at the bottom of the screen while keeping track of the action in the upper half. While that may not sound much different from Defender or Chopper Command, there’s a big difference between having to periodically check a radar on a left-to-right scrolling playfield and relying on a huge, world-encompassing map requiring movement in all directions. Flash Gordon highlights that difference. Navigating this map frequently puts your ship on the right or left sides of the screen, making it easy for you to fly right into enemies. I would recommend Imagic’s Subterranea as a similar but much superior alternative; it’s also a Defender-style game that features both vertical and horizontal movement but without the stupid map.
Unfortunately, in order to move your ship horizontally, you need to push it against the left or right side of the screen. This gives you no chance to avoid oncoming enemies, resulting in numerous cheap deaths. This horrendous design flaw ruins what could have been a respectable title.

Scientists at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have helped measure how unpaired electrons in atoms at one end of a molecule can cause chemical reactivity on the opposite side of the molecule. As described in an article recently published in the Journal of the American Chemical Societythis work, in collaboration with Princeton University, shows how molecules containing these so-called free radicals could be used in an entirely new class of reactions.
“Most reactions involving free radicals take place at the site of the unpaired electron,” explained Brookhaven Lab chemist Matthew Bird, one of the paper’s co-corresponding authors. The Princeton team had become adept at using free radicals for a range of synthetic applications, such as polymer recycling. But they wondered if free radicals could influence the reactivity of other parts of the molecule as well, pulling electrons away from those more distant places.
“Our measurements show that these radicals can exert powerful ‘electron-withdrawing’ effects that make other parts of the molecule more reactive,” Bird said.
The Princeton team demonstrated how this long-distance pull can overcome energy barriers and bring together otherwise unreactive molecules, potentially leading to a new approach to the synthesis of organic molecules.
The research drew on the combined resources of a Princeton-led DOE Energy Frontiers Research Center (EFRC) focused on bio-inspired light-escalation chemistry (BioLEC). The collaboration brings together leading synthetic chemists with groups with advanced spectroscopic techniques for studying reactions. Its funding was recently renewed for another four years.
Robert Knowles, who led Princeton’s role in this research, said: “This project is an example of how the combined expertise of BioLEC has enabled the team to quantify an important physical property of these radical species, which in turn allowed us to design the resulting synthesis methodology. “
The main contribution of the Brookhaven team is a technique called pulsed radiolysis – available only at Brookhaven and one other site in the United States.
“We use the Laser Electron Accelerator Facility (LEAF) – part of the Accelerator Center for Energy Research (ACER) in Brookhaven’s Chemistry Division – to generate intense pulses of high-energy electrons,” Bird explained. “These pulses allow us to add or subtract electrons from molecules to create reactive species that might be difficult to make using other techniques, including short-lived reaction intermediates. With this technique, we we can intervene in part of a reaction and monitor what is happening.”
For the current study, the team used pulsed radiolysis to generate molecules with oxygen-centered radicals, then measured the effects of “electron withdrawal” on the other side of the molecule. They measured the attraction of electrons by tracking how well oxygen on the opposite side attracts protons, the positively charged ions moving in solution. The stronger the attraction of the radical, the more acidic the solution must be for the protons to bind to the molecule, Bird explained.
The Brookhaven scientists discovered that the acidity had to be high to allow the capture of protons, which meant that the oxygen radical was a very strong electron-withdrawing group. This was good news for the Princeton team. They then demonstrated that it was possible to exploit the “electron-withdrawing” effect of oxygen radicals by making generally inert parts of molecules more chemically reactive.
“The oxygen radical induces a transient ‘polarity reversal’ within the molecule – causing electrons that normally want to stay on that far side to move towards the radical to make the ‘far’ side more reactive,” Bird explained.
These discoveries have enabled a new substitution reaction on phenol-based raw materials to make more complex phenolic products.
“This is a great example of how our pulse radiolysis technique can be applied to cutting-edge scientific problems,” Bird said. “We were delighted to welcome an excellent graduate student, Nick Shin, from the Knowles group for this collaboration. We look forward to further collaborative projects in this second phase of BioLEC and to seeing what new problems we can explore using pulsed radiolysis.
Brookhaven Lab’s role in this work and the EFRC at Princeton were funded by the DOE Office of Science (BES). Princeton received additional funding for the synthesis work from the National Institutes of Health.

Rockland County man accused of planning Election Day suicide bombing in Washington, D.C.
Paul Rosenfeld, 56, of Rockland County, was arrested Wednesday on federal charges of manufacturing an explosive device.
Rosenfeld, of Tappan, built a 200-pound bomb he was planning to explode in a suicide attack in theNational Mall in Washington D.C. on Election Day, officials said.
Officials said Rosenfeld wanted to draw attention an ideology called “sortition,” the political belief that the government should be selected by lottery rather than popular vote.
Rosenfeld was caught after he started communicating his intentions to a person in Pennsylvania in September. That person alerted authorities.

In what appeared to be a well calculated move, the RJD-led Grand Alliance (Mahagatvandhan) promised to waive off the agricultural loans of Bihar's farmers on top priority, and providing jobs to 10 lakh unemployed youths of the state as soon as the government is formed.
Releasing the poll manifesto titled "Pran Hamara" (Our resolution), leaders of the Mahagatvandhan allies including face for CM Tejaswi Yadav of RJD, Randeep Singh Surjewala of the Indian National Congress and others, on Saturday maintained a united face and promised to uproot the failed government of NDA, led by a "tired CM" like Nitish Kumar.
Questioning Nitish Kumar's ambitious scheme, Tejaswi Yadav said, "Where does the earmarked fund of Rs 24,000 crore go under the Jal-Jeevan-Harayali mission of Nitish Kumar? It is nothing but a well-engineered plundering of people's money."
LJP chief Chirag Paswan, too, had multiple times questioned the viability of this scheme promising to set up an inquiry into it soon after the formation of the LJP supported-government in the state.
Making a big announcement, aiming at garnering mass electoral support from the fraternity of farmers, Tejaswi Yadav announced that the GA government will waive off the farmers' agricultural loans soon after initiative for providing jobs to 10 lakh unemployed people.
He also attempted to please the students by promising to waive off fees which is demanded while applying for jobs in the state government.
In addition to this, Yadav added that the government will also pay fare to the students who go to the examination centres.
As for the problem of over 4.5 lakh contractual teachers who were at loggerheads with the Nitish Kumar-led government, the manifesto promisses to give them equal pay.
Accusing the Nitish Kumar government of providing scams, Tejaswi said, "Around 60 scams have been committed in Bihar during the Nitish Kumar-led NDA government including the Bhagalpur's Srijan scam."
He added that the NDA has engrossed itself only in the accusation of RJD and Lalu Prasad instead of speaking on agendas of unemployment and poverty.
Responding to Nitish Kumar's recent statement of terming him as 'inexperinced', Tejaswi Yadav said, "I am 31 years old which is half of Nitish Kumar's political career but have earned a lot of experience on how to work for the people.
If I was inexperienced, why would he appoint me as the deputy CM in the GA government?"
Since the age of 26, I have been targetted and accused in many cases and have faced agencies. But what I have done during my tenure as deputy CM is far better than others."
The General secretary of the AICC, Sundeep Singh Surjewala accused the BJP in particular of being in three alliances in the Bihar polls.
"The BJP is in three alliances-one with the JDU (openly), second with the Assauddin Owais led alliance and the third with the LJP (behind the curtain). BJP is playing a double game as a party of Janus face," he alleged.

Awesome map! I remember reading both series years ago - loved them. A quick question if you don't mind.... you stated above that you were ok with folks using the map for personal use - would you by any chance have a version that isn't labeled? And if so, would you be willing to share it? I am going to be running a D&D-style campaign for my family, & I've been looking for a world map to set my campaign in.

The world-famous flame will blaze a trail through Scarborough in June, with thousands set to line the streets and celebrate the 2012 London Games.
The procession will take place on Monday June, 18 and include a special ceremony at the town’s 3.5 million Open Air Theatre to mark the global sporting spectacle.
The official route is:
l 12.28pm – Columbus Ravine: from the junction with Victoria Park Avenue, Peasholm Gap, to North Bay Promenade
l Lunchtime stop at the Open Air Theatre
l 1.29pm – Burniston Road, Peasholm Gap, Royal Albert Drive, Marine Drive, Sandside, Foreshore Road, Valley Road, Ramshill Road and Filey Road to junction with Queens Margarets Road.
The ceremony is expected to conclude at 2.14pm.
The full torch ceremony will start the day in Hinderwell, near Whitby, at 9.01am, before moving on to Lythe at 9.13am and into Whitby at 9.40am.
It will then be carried to Whitby Railway Station and taken to Pickering via the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, before making its way to Scarborough.
Torchbearers from across the Scarborough borough will carry out a relay procession of the flame, with a special stop at the Open Air Theatre in front of a capacity crowd.
The free invitation only event will focus on the youth of Scarborough and feature performances inspired by sport, music and the arts.
Cllr Derek Bastiman, Scarborough Council’s representative for promoting London 2012, said he was thrilled the Olympic Torch was arriving in Scarborough.
Cllr Bastiman predicted it would provide the catalyst for increased interest in the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
He said: “I am delighted that we are finally able to let local people know exactly where they will be able to see the Olympic Flame when it is carried through our borough in June.
“The announcement really brings the route to life and we encourage people of all ages to line the streets on June 18 so that they can witness the full spectacle of the Olympic Torch Relay.
“We are also looking forward, with great pride, to welcoming the inspirational Torchbearers to our communities and celebrating their many achievements and aspirations.”
One of the Torchbearers in Scarborough could be supermarket worker Paul Drake, of Milton Avenue.
The 47-year-old produce team leader at the Westwood Tesco store, was nominated by colleague Viv Rennie in recognition of his ongoing commitment to charity work.
Mr Drake was told he would carry the torch between Middlesbrough and Hull, but despite the lack of absolute clarity, he was still completely overwhelmed at the role.
He told the Evening News: “This is a once in a lifetime chance and something that will stay with me forever.
“I normally watch it on TV, but this time I’ll be a part of it.”
Scarborough Council bosses have also revealed plans are under way for displays and entertainment for areas where the torch will pass through.

Dr Linda McGuigan, Honorary Senior Research Fellow and Independent Consultant at the University of Liverpool discusses the importance of finding out children’s ideas as a step to helping them make progress.
David Harradine, Co-Artistic Director of Fevered Sleep, reflects on the creative potential and the politics of working with children, as co-creators, collaborators and audiences.
In my webinar interview for Earlyarts I spoke about the power of stories in our lives. Stories are so much more than books we share with children at bedtime, they are powerful tools. Through stories we shape and share our identities, effect change, connect with others and learn about the world and who we want to be within that world.

Renowned Bollywood actress Kangana Ranawat has been in a bit of controversy because of her controversial statements and if we talk about her sister Rangoli Chandel she is four steps ahead of Kangana.
Kangana Renawat’s sister Rangoli who is also the manager of Kangana, is often seen criticizing Bollywood personalities on Twitter with abusive and derogatory language.
This time Rangoli Chandel’s Twitter account suspended due to her controversial tweet about a member of the Tablighi party in India in which she was trying to incite people against the Muslim cleric and the media.
It should also be noted here that the news quoted by Rangoli Chandel in her tweet was a fake news.
Later, Indian jewelery designer Farah Khan Ali, actress Kubbria Set and filmmaker Rema Kagti also criticized Rangoli Chandle, requesting Twitter to suspend her account.
I’ve blocked Rangoli and reported her to twitter.
But @MumbaiPolice @CMOMaharashtra @OfficeofUT This kind of hate mongering is irresponsible. Please look into it, and take necessary actions. https://t.co/WywccuZvKR
— Kubbra Sait (@KubbraSait) April 16, 2020
Arrest this woman immediately for spreading vicious hatred and calling for killings of A community @MumbaiPolice .
Do also block this account @Twitter @TwitterIndia @jack for spreading religious hatred and fascism. https://t.co/NzBKK8JfZP
— Farah Khan (@FarahKhanAli) April 16, 2020
Rangoli’s Twitter account was suspended after several complaints which were followed by more than 95,000 users.


Family of Rajasthan truck driver, killed by terrorists in Kashmir, refuses to accept his body
The family members of truck driver Mohammed Ilyas, who was killed by terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir on Thursday, have refused to accept his body and have sought Rs15 lakh and a government job in compensation.
On Saturday morning, a large crowd gathered outside Ilyas’ home in Khobas village while district officials tried to pacify the family members who refused to accept the body that had arrived in the wee hours, said officiating District Collector Ram Charan Sharma.
Ilyas, 45, and his helper Zahid Meo were slain by terrorist in Kashmir’s Shopian district in the fourth such attack on non-Jammu and Kashmir residents and the second on truckers from Rajasthan, in the last couple of weeks.
Ilyas and Zahid were returning with a truck load of apples after having offloaded the milk supply for the Army personnel in Shopian when they were attacked.
Ilyas is survived by wife and four children while Zahid, a resident of Bharatpur district, left his wife and three children behind.
The state government has given ₹2 lakh to each family while the Jammu Kashmir government has promised to give ₹5 lakh.
Ilyas’ body has been kept in mortuary in Kishangarh Bas hospital.
On October 14, truck driver Sharief Khan from Bharatpur district was gunned down by terrorists in J&K.

What are the signs of suspension trouble?
A healthy suspension won't merely provide you with a smooth ride, it will also play an important role in keeping you safe on the road. If your shocks/struts are worn out, it can take some 20% percent longer to come to a complete stop once you've commenced braking. Here's a look at six signs that you need suspension repair.
When you take sharp turns, it shouldn't ever feel as if you're drifting or swaying. In the event that you are getting this sensation, then you have reason to be concerned about your suspension.
Uneven Tire Wear
Worn-out shocks/struts can lead to uneven wear on your tires, which can consequently create bald spots.
"Nose Diving" Sensation
When a vehicle's shocks are shot, it could seem like you're lurching forward at a downward angle when you apply pressure to the brakes.
Smooth Road Feels Bumpy
If it's obvious to you that the road is smoothly paved, but it feels like you're driving over little bumps, then you have cause for concern regarding your suspension.
If you can see oil leaking out onto your shocks, then you've got a significant red flag that likely means you're going to need replacement.
Can't Pass the Bounce Test
There's a quick and easy test that you can conduct to help you figure out if your shocks/struts are shot. Once you've safely parked your car, press down on the front end with all of your weight and then rock it a couple of times before releasing. Then, head around to the back of your vehicle and do exactly the same thing on the rear end. Upon letting go, if the vehicle rocks more than two or three times, then you have reason to get your shocks/struts inspected.
If you're in need of auto repair, be sure to visit a reputable shop. For suspension repair in Dallas, TX, the experts to contact are at Rallye Auto Service at (972) 996-7308. Feel free to give Rallye Auto Service a call today to schedule an appointment for any of your repair or maintenance needs!

Kelis, “Rumble” [VIDEO]
Kelis’s new “Rumble” video features Christian Lamb-directed visuals that are just as peculiar as she is. We find the wacky singer sitting on a throne in the middle of the lake, as she sings about a lost love (we’re thinking Nas, but you never know) while two men go fishing and another appears, playing the trumpet. Kelis, of course, pretends that she sees none of this and sings her heart out with her even raspier signature voice. I’m not sure what the point of the video is, but that may actually be the point. Kelis is eccentric, and the director gets her, just roll with it. “Rumble” is from Kelis’s upcoming album Food, scheduled for release on April 22. It’s available for pre-order on Ninja Tune.
Jay Electronica and Jay Z, “We Made It”
Let’s not get too excited, because there’s no telling when Jay Electronica is actually going to release a new LP, EP, or whatever. Enjoy the singles as they come. Here, Jay and Jay team up for a triumphant ode to winning. It’s not just about bragging on material possessions, it’s about starting from the bottom and working until you reach that breakthrough to victory. Jay Electronica makes references to his unbreakable spirit coming from his slave ancestors, while Jigga makes a lyrical reference Lupita Nyong’o—the new poster child for overcoming the odds.
Coline Creuzot, “You Tried It”
Coline Creuzot is another artist at the forefront of what seems to be a crop of new crooners tapping into ’90s R&B audio sensibilities. The singer/songwriter from Houston—who’s opened for various acts like Drake, Keyshia Cole and T-Pain—scored a publishing deal with EMI (now Sony ATV), and now she’s gearing up to release an EP entitled Creuz Control this spring.
“You Tried It,” her newest single from that project, is a good sign of what’s to come. The synth-drive mid-tempo song is the perfect sassy underscore to Creuzot’s sassy soprano condemning a sometimey lover. “I gave you my love and all of my affection/You could have done a favor, save me a lesson/’Cause if I woulda known how easy you move on/I wouldn’t even waste my time.” No sob story here; Creuzot is over it and ready to bounce. Take that for a dose of empowerment!
Stacy Barthe, “War IV Love”
Stacy Barth is back with new tunes, a year after the Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter released her EP, P.S. I Love You. “War IV Love” continues her tradition of soulfully ethereal melodies. This song features tribal drums as Barthe sings her passion and devotion for that special someone.
Christon Gray, School of Roses
Christon Gray is part of a new crop of R&B/soul singers trying to get that old thang back—you know, back to the days when sanging was an actual thing. The Ohio native burst on the scene in 2006, rapping, singing and producing with a group called the Elevationists. The group was in popular demand throughout the Midwest, and they released their debut LP, The Necessary, in 2007.
Gray eventually went solo, which brings us to the release of his second solo album, but his debut project on Collision Records, entitled School of Roses. The multitalented singer fuses gospel, pop, soul and blues. This one is ideal for R&B lovers who prefer their music without Auto-Tune.
Available at iTunes.

Transfers of voters started on July 1st, and signaled a dramatic increase in the pace of movement at elections and boundaries departments all across the country. Here in Orange Walk the pace has been frantic, as all four political committees in the Orange Walk district carry out registrations and transfers in this one office here in town.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. But there is something wrong with using government vehicles to take persons into the office to get transferred. And that’s what happened today. A government Hilux with license plate B-0021, which is assigned to the Ministry of Natural Resources in Belmopan, was being used today to ferry voters from the Orange Walk North constituency to the elections and boundaries office.
We’ve seen vehicles from Gaspar Vega’s ministry used to do his political work before, many times, but that certainly doesn’t make it right. Especially in these difficult economic times, it seems that the millionaire Deputy Prime Minister could use his own personal resources to get his political work done, instead of saddling us taxpayers with the cost.
When CTV-3 arrived on the scene today, it was to see the government vehicle speeding off, since the driver was apparently alerted that we were on the way. That driver is no stranger to us and since his debut as the ‘Picot’ boy on television, no stranger to the rest of Orange Walk. He is Vega handyman Nelson Ayuso, who does odd jobs around town for the Deputy Prime Minister.
We’ll be keeping an eye on the elections and boundaries office in the days ahead because we have no doubt that the Deputy Prime Minister will continue to use government vehicles to get his political work done. We might not be able to stop him, but we’ll certainly catch it on tape for the benefit of our viewers.

Kitimat and First Nations react angrily to Northern Gateway's approval
Groups representing northern pipeline and coastal communities spoke up against about Ottawa's move.
From Vancouver to Kitimat -- protests, court challenges, and emotional promises to stop the pipeline are flowing in from across the province, in reaction to the Harper government's approval of Northern Gateway.
“We will not stand idly by, and be steamrolled," said a visibly angry Grand Chief Stewart Phillip with the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, in a live televised in Vancouver interview minutes after the decision.
“We will do whatever is necessary," said the outspoken Aboriginal leader, in response to a question about whether "civil disorder" might ensue.
The Grand Chief said his organization would "immediately go to court to vigorously pursue all lawful means." He and others leaders have also long said, B.C. Aboriginal people would "stand in front of bulldozers" to stop the project.
'It's a slap in the face'
Likewise in Kitimat, the spokesperson for local environmental group -- Douglas Channel Watch -- did not mince words.
"There's a sickening feeling that Stephen Harper has not listened to the people of B.C.," said Patricia Lange from Kitimat.
"Of course it's a slap in the face. But we did not expect that [the Harper government] would pass this. [But] they have underestimated the power of the combined opposition to this project," she added.
Kitimat citizen Patricia Lange - Douglas Channel Watch - at a Monday press conference in Vancouver - photo by Mychaylo Prystupa
The industrial community voted 59% against the project in an April plebiscite, and today, many citizens staged a noisy protest as Premier Clark arrived for an unrelated announcement.
"We encouraged her to stand strong. We're letting her know, that she needs to thnk about the people in B.C. in terms of her decision making," said Lange.
"The plebiscite was a signal of hope to the rest of B.C."
Haisla Elected Chief Councillor Ellis Ross and BC Premier Christy Clark Kitimat on Tuesday - photo by Robin Rowland.
B.C. Premier Christy Clark eventually said that Northern Gateway still does not have her approval.
“We settled the five conditions, they're very clear, they've been on the table for a very long time now. It is up to the proponent in the private sector to figure how, if and when they’re going to be able to meet them. None of them have yet," said Clark from Kitimat.
Standing at her side, was Haisla Elected Chief Councillor Ellis Ross - a long-time vocal opponent to Northern Gateway, but not LNG development.
"One of the five conditions is that Aboriginal interests are met. On behalf of the Haisla, I can say that one of the conditions that without a doubt that has gone wrong. The rest of the conditions are up to B.C."
Art Sterritt at a Vancovuer press conferene on Monday - Mychaylo Prystupa
Coastal First Nations leader Art Sterrit was far more threatening:
“We’ll see if Enbridge dares to put its shovels in the ground,” said Sterritt in a statment.
“First Nations and our allies will protect our rights and the interests of future generations. We will never allow oil tankers into our territorial waters.”
For her part, Kitimat's Mayor said:
"Our community is going to have to hold [the government's] feet to the fire, and see that all 209 conditions and stipulations, and the five that the province has been given, are taken care of," said Joanne Monaghan, from Kitimat.
"Then we can take a look at it," she added.

The rules surrounding Bankruptcy filings are varied and complex. Naturally, most of the questions that consumers have when deciding whether to file for Bankruptcy are related to their personal property. Depending upon the type of Bankruptcy you file, the available Bankruptcy exemptions, and the perceived value of the property, you may be able to save certain assets from repossession during the Bankruptcy process. If you have specific questions about your property and your rights surrounding a Bankruptcy filing in Arkansas, you need to consult with an experienced Bankruptcy attorney in Arkansas.
CHAPTER 7 VS. CHAPTER 13 BANKRUPTCY FILINGS
The fate of your assets will largely depend on whether you are filing for Chapter 7 vs. Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. With a Chapter 7 filing, all collection attempts are immediately halted and certain assets are collected and liquidated to cover a portion of the debt. A Chapter 13 filing involves agreeing to a Bankruptcy payment plan with the support of the court.
Once the Bankruptcy filing is registered in court, an automatic stay compels your creditors to immediately cease all collection activities, including repossession efforts. However, certain valuable assets may be liquidated to pay debts.
The purpose of Bankruptcy is offering a way out of a dire financial situation and giving you a chance for a fresh start. While this does not necessarily mean that life will continue uninterrupted, the government does understand that it is difficult to start anew if all of your property becomes liquidated in Bankruptcy.
To counter this, you can claim certain federal and state Bankruptcy exemptions for your personal assets. In Arkansas, it is required that you have been a resident of the state for two years in order to claim state exemptions. Then, you are allowed to select the set of exemptions that makes the most sense for your situation.
Each category of property has a different exemption limit that you are permitted to claim according to either federal or state law. If the value of the item exceeds the exemption limit, your property may still be liquidated in a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy proceeding. You may also be allowed to keep certain assets even without the help of a Bankruptcy exemption, depending upon the anticipated re-sale value of the item.
If you owe money on your house, it is likely in the form of a secured loan. Typically, Bankruptcy protections do not affect security interests, so it will be necessary to catch up with mortgage payments if you are falling behind. Otherwise, the bank is free to initiate foreclosure proceedings when they feel it is justified.
In order to protect the equity in your home from Bankruptcy liquidation, you can take advantage of the Arkansas homestead Bankruptcy exemption which protects unlimited equity in a home if it is located on under a ¼ acre in an urban area or under 80 acres in a rural area.
If a creditor has repossessed your vehicle (such as a car or boat), you may be able to recover it by filing Chapter 13 Bankruptcy if the vehicle has not already been sold to a third party. Chapter 13 Bankruptcy will give you more time to pay off the debt on a payment plan, but you will likely be responsible for the repossession fees.
Arkansas Bankruptcy law exempts personal possessions such as clothing from Bankruptcy proceedings without having to claim an exemption. Furniture can be covered under a personal property Bankruptcy exemption, but the status of such items is dependent upon the value of the property.
If you have questions about what will happen to your personal property in a Bankruptcy filing, contact the Arkansas Bankruptcy attorneys at Caddell and Reynolds at (800) 889-6944 to set up a consultation.

I used to live in the country and go to a gun club for the skeet and trap shooting. I went there on Sundays because that was the only day the club was open to nonmembers. Like many shooting clubs, this one would only grant membership if I also joined the National Rifle Association. That wasn’t going to happen. While I like some of the NRA’s youth gun-safety programs, I cannot support its policy aims.
According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 13.7 million people went hunting in the U.S. last year, a nearly 5% increase from 2001. By contrast, the NRA has 4 million members. There are likely plenty of reasons why two-thirds of hunters (as well as millions of gun owners) don’t belong to the group, apathy and financial hardship among them, but politics undoubtedly play a role. And reaching out to pro-hunting moderates is perhaps our best hope for ending the national stalemate over gun control.
“I don’t know anyone in the sporting or hunting arena that goes out with an assault rifle,” West Virginia Senator Joe “Dead Aim” Manchin said on Morning Joe,one of several pro-gun politicians who have started to speak out in favor of sensible reforms after the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School. “I don’t know anybody that needs 30 rounds in the clip to go hunting.”
Neither do I. And I’m guessing the same is true for many other sportsmen.
Unfortunately, this constituency has no organization speaking to and for it. That’s why if philanthropists and influential leaders really want to do something about gun safety, they should launch an advocacy group for sportsmen that will provide a legitimate alternative to today’s gun lobby. The solution to our gun problem is not to try to fight through the same old politics — rather, it’s to change the political landscape.
A moderate sporting organization could oppose knee-jerk proposals like banning “semiautomatic” guns (a class that includes many legitimate sporting arms) while supporting common-sense steps to improve public safety, including the strict regulation of — or even prohibition against — the sale of large-magazine firearms that have no legitimate sporting use. At the same time, such an organization could take on all the issues of more immediate concern to sportsmen than the Second Amendment, in particular the loss of wildlife habitat. The NRA and its even more radical cousins are pretty much exclusively focused on maintaining access to all kinds of firearms and ammunition. It’s an economic agenda to preserve the interests of the companies that make these products, not a pro-sportsmen’s agenda to preserve natural resources and open space; the gun lobby frequently supports politicians with horrendous records on environmental issues. Its narrow focus, as Field & Stream columnist George Reiger observed a few years ago, could lead us to become a nation where people can have “a closet full of guns with no place but a shooting range to use them.”
It’s worth noting that hunters have tried to start a pro-gun-control group before. Ray Schoenke, who used to play for the Washington Redskins and ran for governor in Maryland, launched the American Hunters and Shooters Association in 2005; it was defunct by 2010. Monster.com founder Andrew McKelvey started a similar group, Americans for Gun Safety, that quickly fizzled (before merging with the centrist D.C. think tank Third Way). Both of these organizations were hamstrung by having close ties with traditional gun-control organizations, and that made them an easy target for the gun lobby.
A moderate alternative to the NRA would need authenticity to succeed. And deep pockets too. It would also help if the leader of this new organization could motivate young people to help change the status quo. (Mass shootings may grab our attention, but day-to-day gun violence is the major reason why homicide is the second leading cause of death, after accidents, among young adults.) That’s why I’m nominating Mark Zuckerberg to take up this cause. He’s rich, he has tons of social capital, and in 2011 he pledged to spend a year eating only meat from animals that he had killed. He said he did this to challenge himself to be more thankful for what he has and to be more thoughtful about how we live — ideas sadly lost on today’s gun lobby.

AdMob July 2009
Although just over a year old, Apple's market for third-party apps is 40 times larger than that for Android, researchers at AdMob found today. Based on the percentages of the 26.4 million iPhone owners and 18.6 million iPod touch owners who have paid for apps, as well as the $9.49 average spent per person each month, the online ad firm estimates that Apple should generate about $198 million in August and almost $2.4 billion if that rate was constant for a full year.
The revenue stream is helped by the large portion of these users who buy apps. About 50 percent of iPhone owners have bought apps, while 40 percent of their iPod touch-using counterparts have done the same.
By contrast, Android's app market is disproportionately low. It has a smaller user base of just 3 million, but its customers are half as likely to buy software than iPod touch owners, at just 19 percent. The average amount spent on apps each month is also somewhat lower at $8.63.
Some of the difference is explained in the sheer number of apps downloaded. Android owners download an average of 9.1 apps each month, but only one of these is usually paid; 55 percent of them have never downloaded a paid app at all where less than half of Apple handheld users report behaving the same way. iPhone owners download only 10 but buy about 2.6 apps each in a given month. iPod touch users are relatively prolific and download 18.4 apps per month, although only two of these cost money.
AdMob's data still shows similar actual usage traits, though these vary depending on whether or not a device is a phone. Android phone owners are likely to use phone apps for longer than those on iPhones -- 88 minutes versus 84 -- but iPod touch owners use apps for a much longer 121 minutes, or just over two hours. Why the gap exists isn't known, but it's likely that phone tasks like calls and messaging leave less time for apps.
In all cases, those who bought apps were most likely to have done so because they liked a free demo version enough to pay in. However, many initially find apps simply through browsing rather than recommendations or ads promoting the software outside of a given store. Almost all of these searches are done on the device itself, not the computer used for the sync process.
Besides app data, the July study also shows Apple continuing to dominate mobile Internet traffic with 60 percent of smartphone usage in the US and 45 percent worldwide. Its actual share of the total phone market is down 3 percent worldwide and 6 percent in the US, but this owes less than 1 percent in each case to Android phones like the T-Mobile G1 and more to incremental gains from many regular phones. Android represents 7 percent of worldwide traffic but 12 percent in the US.


19th May 2017, 12:30 | Wigan
The champions have faltered on the back of a crippling injury crisis but skipper Sean O'Loughlin and his England team-mate George Williams will both be back for their Grand Final rematch with Warrington Wolves, which will bring down the curtain on day one at Newcastle's St James' Park.
The champions have slipped out of the top four following emphatic back-to-back defeats by the two surprise packets of 2017, Castleford Tigers and Salford Red Devils.
But the Magic Weekend tends to bring out the best in Shaun Wane's men, whose only defeats in the annual two-day extravaganza came in the first two years in Cardiff.
"We've hit a few sticky results," said Wigan second rower Liam Farrell. "I still think with the teams we've put out, we were capable of winning games.
"But there are things we're fixing up over the next few weeks and obviously with a few bodies coming back, we'll definitely be improving."
After accounting for St Helens, Huddersfield Giants and - in each of the previous four years - Leeds Rhinos, the Warriors have new Magic Weekend opponents in Warrington, although the old foes could be sick of the sight of each other by the end of the year.
They have already played each other once since their Old Trafford title decider and, after being paired together in the quarter-finals of the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup, are likely to meet at least three more times after Saturday's clash.
"I think we'll end up playing them about five times this year," said Warrington full-back Stefan Ratchford. "I'm sure it will be a special game, it's always a great atmosphere at Magic and it brings the best out of people."
We're on our way! Next stop Newcastle! 💛💙 pic.twitter.com/DqVoyO8pRf— Warrington Wolves (@wolvesrl) May 19, 2017
Wigan caught the Wolves at the height of their early-season crisis, winning 38-16 at the DW Stadium, but Tony Smith's men have lost just one of their last seven matches and have a chance not only to climb out of the bottom four for the first time but to close to within two points of the champions.
"Over the last six or so weeks, they've been improving and they're one of the better teams in the comp," Farrell said.
Warrington stand-off Kevin Brown, who began his career with Wigan, is set to make history by becoming the only man to play at all 11 Magic events.
Hull FC will have a chance to go top of the table, at least for 24 hours, when they take on St Helens in the middle game on Saturday.
The Black and Whites are enjoying a five-match winning run while Saints are reeling from successive defeats by Warrington and Castleford in which they have conceded 93 points.
St Helens prop Kyle Amor is hoping the presence of new coach Justin Holbrook, who will adopt a watching brief before officially taking charge on Monday, and playing on a big stage can help his side emerge from their slump.
"This competition is a ruthless one, it takes no prisoners," Amor said. "We've got to stay together and work hard and focus on this next game.
"Hull are a good strong outfit who are playing very well at the minute. We'll have our work cut out on Saturday but playing on a big occasion like this might be just what we need to take off."
Bottom club Widnes Vikings will get the weekend under way when they take on Wakefield, with all eyes centred on former Man of Steel Rangi Chase as he prepares to make his debut for his fourth club.
Vikings coach Denis Betts ended a five-year pursuit of the former England international when he signed him on loan from Castleford and, in the absence of injured half-backs Joe Mellor and Tom Gilmore, had no hesitation in throwing him straight in.
"I spoke to Rangi a number of years ago before he went to Salford," Betts said. "We've become a little more desperate now but it's a real positive move for us to get someone of his quality.
"You don't get the chance to pick up England internationals very often. He's excited to get back playing and he'll start this week."

Spring is the time for asparagus recipes as the vegetable can be found from March to June. There are more than 200 varieties – all different in color, size, and taste.
We dug through our archives and compiled these recipes in case you're looking for some Italian inspiration when it comes to preparing those lovely green stalks this spring. You'll find them below, following some tips no how to clean and cook them properly.
Asparagus has a stocky, fibrous part at the end of the stem that you can easily remove with a sharp knife. If the spear is very hard, cut it up to one inch below the tip. The thing about asparagus, though, is that dirt and sand can get stuck in its tips and leaves. Rinse it very well and rub it down vigorously to remove any trapped soil.
The most common way to cook asparagus is via boiling. Place it in a rather high and narrow pot, filled with enough water to completely cover the spears. Yet if you're only cooking the softer parts and not the stem, you can steam those. The end result will be a delicate crispiness that adds a distinct texture to countless dishes, especially pasta preparations. If you're feeling adventurous, you can steam them with lemon-flavored water. Just add some lemon zest to the water before bringing it to a boil.
Blanching and shocking asparagus prepare the vegetable for various subsequent types of cooking. The sequence helps the vegetable maintain its color, flavor, and unmistakeable snappy texture. Cook the spears for 1 to 3 minutes in boiling water, drain, then place them in a large bowl of ice water. This shocks the spears and stops the cooking; let sit until cool.
And now, here are ten of our favorite asparagus recipes that make a perfect appetizer or side dish.

Buffalo Mom Featured in New York Times COVID-19 Pregnancy Story
For a lot of folks, 2020 was going to be a banner year -- weddings, graduations, and new babies.
The coronavirus pandemic, which began taking its toll in the United States last March, derailed many planned activities for 2020.
But a woman's pregnancy has its own schedule, and so many women navigated the births of their babies against the backdrop of a global pandemic.
Buffalo mom, Kate Glaser, was one of those women. And her story was featured today in the New York Times.
In the article, "The Psychic Toll of a Pandemic Pregnancy," by journalist Katherine Gammon, Glaser retells learning of her positive COVID-19 diagnosis:
"Two nurses came to deliver her results her in the waiting room. They were dressed in full gowns, masks, face shields and gloves.
“I knew by the eerie silence and the way they were dressed that I was Covid positive,” she said. “It was an emotional moment; I felt really disappointed and shocked and, as a mom, I felt a lot of guilt. What did I do wrong?”
Glaser is very active on social media, as the person behind Hope Rises. She posted about her test results on Facebook, and the post quickly went viral.
The New York Times article describes a study that will "follow more than 200 women around the world, from pregnancy to 18 months postpartum, to understand how Covid-19 and the pandemic response impacts pregnancy and infant health outcomes."
The study, launched in July, found from the first set of data, "more than 84 percent of women reported moderate to severe anxiety about giving birth during a pandemic."
The article states many women don't want to get tested for COVID-19 out of fear they'll be separated from their babies or other family members.

chortle. I love seeing which LoLcats people like enough to post on their blogs.and, as if on cue, the doorbitch is saying 'dcqlHAI'
Hey. Good stuff. I stumbled upon your blog and I think you would be interested to know what I just posted about Adelaide.Matt from New Orleans
PC, have your cats done the LOL thing?

Apetit Group’s production plants use household water, lake water and sea water. Water consumption is the highest at the Säkylä frozen foods plant, where water is used particularly for washing vegetables. Household water is used at all production facilities.
Lake water and household water are used at the Säkylä frozen foods plant. The washing of harvest season vegetables is the process with the highest water consumption. Water is used in a closed system for cooling equipment. The Kantvik vegetable oil milling plant uses sea water in a closed system for process cooling purposes.
The Säkylä plant’s water consumption represents more than 80 per cent of the entire Group’s water consumption, not taking into account the sea water used in the closed system at the Kantvik plant. Water used for washing vegetables goes to the wastewater treatment plant for processing, while lake water used for cooling is returned to the same body of water through a closed cycle.
Water consumption at the Kantvik vegetable oil milling plant has increased due to the commissioning of the adjacent bioenergy plant. The use of sea water in the closed system at Kantvik has decreased significantly due to the completion of the bioenergy plant and the renewal of the oil milling plant’s vacuum system. The frozen pizza plant in Pudasjärvi uses only household water, and its water consumption is low compared to Apetit’s other operations. In both Pudasjärvi and Säkylä, water is used for washing production equipment, for example.
As all of Apetit Group’s production facilities are located in Finland, no water is taken from areas where water is scarce. Apetit has studied the eutrophication effects and water footprint of selected products to reduce its environmental impacts.
Among Apetit’s production plants, water consumption is highest at the Säkylä frozen foods plant, particularly in production activities involving harvest season vegetables. The water efficiency of the Säkylä plant has been improved over the past few years. Pea receiving processes were updated at the plant in 2022, which reduced water consumption by 2,500 litres per frozen pea tonne. The brush scrubbers and steam peelers installed at the Säkylä plant in 2021 enhance the efficiency of the vegetable washing process. There are annual variations in water use due to differences in harvest seasons.
In 2023 in the processing of seasonal vegetables water consumption increased. Due to the wet autumn the raw materials were more muddy and the brush washers have consumed an extraordinary amount of water. In the future, water use will be made more efficient by improving usage monitoring.

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is hitting back at the notion that he wants to defund the police — an accusation that has been one of President Donald Trump’s frequent attack points.
During an appearance on “60 Minutes,” Biden said, “I’ve never, ever supported defunding police. Matter of fact, we’d get more funding for police for different reasons.”
He continued, “Any use of violence, burning down stores, smashing windows, that is a crime, people should be arrested. No justification for it. There’s never been a conflict with me between law and order and dignity. They’re one in the same.”
Asked about Trump’s boasts that he’s “saved the suburbs,” Biden shot back, “[Trump] wouldn’t know a suburb unless he took a long turn. Go out in the suburbs now, it’s not 1950. There are black and white families living next door to each other and driving each other’s kid to soccer practice. This is a different world than he lives in.”
Watch the video below:
“I've never, ever supported defunding police,” says Joe Biden. https://t.co/h41Bd0jRIW pic.twitter.com/cGpCRuWoLd— 60 Minutes (@60Minutes) October 26, 2020
Trump has insisted that Biden’s stance is to defund the police. During a Fox News interview in July, Trump said, “It’s gotten totally out of control and it’s really because they want to defund the police, and Biden wants to defund the police.” When host Chris Wallace told the president that he was wrong about Biden’s policy on defunding the police, Trump doubled down.
Biden has frequently distanced himself from calls to defund the police. Over the summer, his campaign put out a statement saying, “Biden does not believe that police should be defunded … Biden supports the urgent need for reform.”
During a CBS interview over the summer, Biden said, “I don’t support defunding the police. I support conditioning federal aid to police, based on whether or not they meet certain basic standards of decency and honorableness.”

These Pecan Caramel Sticky Buns from Baker Bettie are the perfect holiday morning breakfast! Prep them the day before and bake them the next morning! The dough and the filling are essentially the same as cinnamon rolls, but we’re making a caramel sauce with pecans for the topping!
FOR THE DOUGH
- 7 grams (1 package, 2 ¼ teaspoon) active dry or quick rise yeast
- 227 grams (1 cup, 240 milliliters) whole milk (lower fat or non-dairy can be substituted)
- 50 grams (¼ cup) granulated sugar
- 480-600 grams (4-5 cups) all-purpose flour
- 7 grams (1 ½ teaspoons) kosher salt or table salt
- 85 grams (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, very soft
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
FOR THE FILLING
- 200 grams (1 cup) brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 56 grams (1/2 stick) butter, melted
FOR THE CARAMEL PECAN TOPPING
- 200 grams (1 cup) granulated sugar
- 120 grams (½ cup, 120 milliliters) water
- 235 grams (1 cup, 240 milliliters) heavy cream
- 2 grams (½ teaspoon) kosher salt
- 200 grams (2 cups) roughly chopped pecans
FOR THE DOUGH
- Warm the milk to about 110-115°F/43-46°C. In a large mixing bowl add the warm milk, the yeast, and ½ teaspoon of sugar and stir to combine. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until you see some bubbles and foaming.
- Add 480 grams (4 cups) of flour, the rest of the sugar, salt, butter, and eggs to the mixing bowl. Use clean hands to mix together until a sticky dough forms.
- If kneading by hand, turn the dough out onto a floured countertop. Dust flour over the top of the dough and knead the dough by hand for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If kneading with a stand mixer, fit the mixer with a dough hook and knead at medium speed for 6-8 minutes. Add more flour as needed while kneading the dough. When the dough is finished being kneaded it will still be slightly sticky to the touch, but feels smooth and elastic and should stand tall when rounded into a ball.
- Move the kneaded dough to a lightly oiled bowl, turn to coat, and cover with a piece of plastic wrap, a damp cloth, or a shower cap (my preference) to bulk ferment until doubled in size, about 1 hour for rapid rise yeast and 2 hours for active dry yeast.
FOR THE FILLING AND TOPPING
When the dough is almost finished rising, make the filling and the topping.
- For the Filling: Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
- For the Topping: In a saucepan at least 3 quarts in size, add the sugar and pour the water over the sugar being careful not to splash sugar granules up the side of the pan.
- Turn the heat on to medium. The sugar will start to dissolve in the water and will come to a boil. As the mixture boils, the sugar will start caramelizing. Stay close by because the caramelization process moves very quickly. Do not stir during this process or you risk re-crystallizing the sugar resulting in a gritty texture. If the sugar is caramelizing unevenly, gently swirl the pan to even out the color.
- Once the sugar smells nutty and is golden brown, carefully pour all of the heavy cream into the pan and stir vigorously with a silicone spatula. The mixture will bubble up quite a bit.
- Add the salt and continue cooking for about 1-2 more minutes until smooth.
- Pour the caramel sauce into a 9×13″ pan and sprinkle the pecans on top.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured countertop and roll it out into a rectangle about 18 x 12-inches (46 x 30 cm) in size.
- Brush the dough with the melted butter and sprinkle the cinnamon/sugar filling evenly over the dough leaving about ½-inch of the dough free from filling at the top long edge.
- Starting on the long edge that does have filling, tightly roll the dough up into a log. Pinch the clean edge to the log to seal.
- Use a serrated knife to divide the dough into 4 equal pieces.
- Now cut each quarter of the log into 3 equal pieces to get 12 rolls.
- Transfer the cut rolls into the baking dish, setting them on top of the caramel/pecan topping, and cover with plastic wrap.
- Proof the rolls for about 45 minutes if using quick rise yeast and about 75 minutes if using active dry yeast. Alternatively, if you want to bake them the next day, let them rise for about 30 minutes at room temperature then transfer them to the refrigerator for up to 16 hours. Take them out of the refrigerator about 1 hour before baking to allow the yeast time to wake up.
- Position an oven rack to the center position. Preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown.
- Within the first 5 minutes of taking them out of the oven, flip them out of the pan so that the caramel and pecan bottom becomes the top.

A few weeks ago, I saw George Orwell’s "Animal Farm" adapted as a stage play by Ian Wooldridge and directed by May Adrales. Although I read the novel many years ago, seeing the story unfold on stage brought back the imagery of a powerful, revolutionary and political struggle of this satirical tale.
It was interesting to watch the pigs who initially joined a struggle as one voice turned on each other as soon as they got a taste of power. The world as we know it today is filled with such hate, strife, poverty, political smoke screens, harsh labor conditions, etc. and the director did a great job of bringing this to the stage. This story is as powerful and relevant as it was in 1945.
The actors did an excellent job in breathing life into this story! Two thumbs up!
