Today, is Friday, April 17, 2020. The winds are changing and at moments it is still. It’s snowing in Chicago.
While there is uncertainty around us right now, there is also love and kindness around us, always.
During times of uncertainty, it helps to have some structured routines. We’d like to offer a daily anchoring message for those of you who may find it helpful for you, your coworkers, your loved ones, and/or your community.
Here’s what you can do today, right now, during transitions, after listening to the news or when going to sleep:
- Roll your shoulders back, smile to yourself, & relax your jaw.
- Take slow deep belly breaths, allowing your stomach to rise with each breath in and relax with each breath out. You may find that each breath gets better and better. Allow your shoulders to relax on each exhale.
- Name 3 Sensations to reset your focus, shared by Kevin Leavesley
- Name 3 things you can see.
- Name 3 things you can hear.
- Name 3 things you can feel.
Anchor yourself with this daily statement:
“I am [*Name*]. I am doing what I can to be helpful. I love myself because I have kindness and love in my heart and soul. I am part of the global community and we are all working together to get through this. This is temporary. We can do this. As I think about those I love and care for, I send loving kindness out to all people.”
Today’s Inspiration: A Quote from Helen Keller
“When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.”

Just got an issue with a 3D first person view I'm trying to create for use with LWJGL. I've got 3 vectors representing the side, up and forward axes set at (1, 0, 0), (0, 1, 0) and (0, 0, 1) respectively. When rotating the view I perform a "rotation around an arbitrary axis" about the vector representing the axis I want.
It's all working as expected, but I want the camera to rotate around a fixed Y axis (0, 1, 0) as it does in most FPS games, but at the moment it's just rotating around the up vector, whichever way it's pointing. The issue here is that X axis rotations changed the direction of the Y axis, so it won't stay at (0, 1, 0). Is there any way around this? Here's my current camera class for reference: http://www.java-gaming.org/?action=pastebin&id=684
Thanks in advance for any help

Evaporative Condenser for Refrigeration Combats Rust
Johnson Controls added the ECOSS stainless steel evaporative condenser to its Frick line of industrial refrigeration products. The unit is designed to combat problems from changes in water treatment chemistry that can lead to white rust, corrosion and decreased product life in conventional galvanized steel condensers.
Stainless steel is also lighter than galvanized steel, so roofs and mounting platforms do not have to be built with the same load-bearing capacity. Stainless steel inherently resists scale formation, so that units require less cleaning and passivation downtime. The ECOSS evaporative condenser also incorporates Frick’s direct and variable speed drive fan options for reduced energy use.
Originally designed for remote applications without adequate water treatment facilities, the ECOSS evaporative condenser has been proven to deliver twice the average lifespan of conventional galvanized evaporative condensers – with total lifetime savings of up to 70 percent, says Johnson Controls.
The company also says the ECOSS unit is ideally suited for use in the North American food and beverage market.

Ratings and ReviewsSee All
No other streaming service out there makes watching great cinema quite so accessible. Mubi is great, Kanopy and Fandor are also good, but the Criterion Channel is exactly what we needed after FilmStruck, the former greatest thing ever, was shut down last year. In many respects, Criterion Channel is better, as it is easier to navigate and more appealing to the eye. The catalog is smaller, but with time I imagine it will expand to the great size of the late FilmStruck catalog. Nevertheless, the catalog currently available is chock full of great cinema, new and old, domestic and foreign, entertainment and artistic. There’s a film in here for everyone, and the app makes finding such films super easy. The way the app features films on the front page is very unique, as rather than an algorithm aggregating a bunch of movies under some generic genre title such as “independent dramas” a la Netflix, the people working on this app create a new themed collection of a few films every days. There are double features, short + feature pairs, director highlights, studio highlights, female filmmaker spotlights, etc. Long live cinema, and love live the Criterion Channel!
Developer Response ,
Hey FourMinerz Expert! Thanks for such a great review, we really appreciate it! We have a lot of new features planned for upcoming releases that we hope will make the experience even better. Stay tuned and let us know if you run into any issues!
So disappointed. This is a mess
When Criterion announces their streaming service I signed up as a charter member on day one. The day the app went live I was there. I was ready. Then I was extremely disappointed.
I’m only going to say what so many others have said in these reviews and what Criterion keeps ignoring apparently. No full list of every title. They instead gave us a list on a separate website?! Then I use that list to add all the titles I’m interested in. Look at the list, switch back to the app, search the app, add the film. This literally took me 90 minutes to do. Then I realized that there was a limit to how many films could be in your wishlist! Are you kidding me?! So half the titles I added pushed out/deleted the other half. Add to this the horrible, almost unusable interface and search function and I sadly deleted my membership and the app. Over the past two months I come here and check the release notes to see if these things have been corrected. Nope. Criterion doesn’t seem to care. As the developers of this app they have the ability to read the reviews here and add their own response. But they don’t. I suppose the reason why is because they have no intention of improving this app. Which is sad. I am a huge fan of film and the criterion collection. It’s been painful to watch this company sabotage it’s own product and ignore user complaints and concerns.
Developer Response ,
Middle-Age Snow Day, first I would like to thank you for laying this all out in great detail, it is seriously helpful to hear about the pain points from users. Secondly I would like to apologize for the issues you have been facing and let you know that we are taking steps to make improvements here with each new version. We actually have major improvements to search and browsing that will be coming out very soon that we hope will address the biggest problems you mentioned here. We hope that everything we are building in may win back your subscription and in the meantime I can assure you that even though these features are not moving as quickly as everyone (including us!) wants them to, they are in fact moving closer to release each day.
Please check back soon and thank you again for bringing this issue to our attention.
Awesome collection of movies. They group some by interesting themes like the recent ‘caught on tape’ and ‘heist’ lists. They have others lists like women filmmakers or Martin scorcese’s world cinema project or double features with unique themes. There are also short videos of filmmakers talking about their favorite movies. I think generally quite a few of those movies are simultaneously available. I just wish criterion gets hold of more newer movies at least from the past two decades. Like Todd Solondz’s Happiness, or Miranda July’s Me and you and Everyone we know or Richard Ayoade’s The Double or lesser known international gems like a death in the Gunj or so many others I just heard of but never got to see. But that has nothing to do with the app. As for the app please keep grouping movies by themes or moods or tropes, it makes a person like me feel like bingeing those set movies rather than those occasional gems which I heard are good but remain in my to watch list for a long time. And also more favorite movie lists of filmmakers. That’s it, thanks for releasing criterion movies in a streaming app

Named one of the top 20 most influential business thinkers of 2008 by The Wall Street Journal, business anthropologist Geert Hofstede has fully updated his classic work on how the place where we grew up shapes the way we think, feel, and act.
Since its original publication in 1991, Cultures and Organizations has been helping business leaders understand how people think as members of a group—which dramatically increases managers’ effectiveness leading and developing cross-cultural workforces. This groundbreaking work reveals:
- The unexamined rules behind the thoughts and emotions of people of different cultures
- Ways in which cultures differ in the areas of collectivism/individualism, assertiveness/modesty, tolerance for ambiguity, and deferment of gratification
- How organizational cultures differ from national cultures, and how they can be managed
New material in this expanded third edition includes the latest data from the author’s ongoing field research and new insight into how cultural factors contributed to the current economic situation.
Cultures and Organizations offers managers practical solutions for solving conflict between different groups and turning cultural differences to their advantage.

Tomorrow, Monday 24 January 2011, from 15:15 to 16:30, the European Parliament's Subcommittee on Human Rights together with the Committee on Development wild hold a "Public Hearing on the right to water and sanation".
According to the draft programme linked above
The joint hearing will focus on analysing the actions and measures, including those of a
legislative nature, taken by the EU and its Member States at national and international
level, to ensure human rights obligations regarding access to safe drinking water and to
sanitation are respected. The joint hearing is to prepare for the 14th World Water Day (on
22 March 2011), when the EU will also be celebrating the 2nd European Water Day.
Apart from a number of speakers from the European Parliament, Catarina de Albuquerque, UN Independent Expert on the issue of human rights obligations related to access to safe drinking water and sanitation will give a presentation. Her reports to the UN Human Rights Council from 2009 and from 2010 have been attached to the meeting documents of the subcommittee.
I personally won't have time to follow the meeting, neither live nor on the web, but you can follow it via the EU Parliament webstreaming service. Go here and scroll down until "DROI" (which is the abbreviation for the Human Rights Subcommittee).
I think this would be worth a blog post on this platform...!
Update (25 Jan): The public hearing has been recorded and can watched here. It starts after some initial announcements by the Chair of the Sub-Committee on other issues (Tunesia, China, Belarus, Ukraine, the situation of Christians, Israel, Uzbekistan). So if you have 5-10 minutes of patience, you can finally watch the hearing (which, surprisingly, worked on my Mac).
Update (30 Jan): The EU Council Secretariat has written a short summary of the human rights subcommittee meeting, including the agenda item on water. Here is what they write:
"3. Joint Public Hearing on the right to water and sanitation
The hearing was introduced by Mr Deva (ECR, UK) who stressed that achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) would be futile without also providing at the same time access to drinking water and appropriate sanitation.
The first invited speaker, Ms de Albuquerque, UN Independent Expert on the issue of human rights obligations, discussed access to safe drinking water and sanitation and the implications of Human Rights Council's Resolution 7/22 : Human rights and access to safe drinking water and sanitation, stressing that the MDGs did not sufficiently consider the aspect of water quality.
The second invited speaker, Ms Morley, Executive secretary, Freshwater Action Network (FAN) Global Secretariat, London, spoke about access to sanitation as a particularly neglected MDG which had important environmental implications.
In the subsequent discussion the following issues were raised : the right to access to natural resources as a human right and so-called 'climate refugees' (Mr Prodi, S&D, IT) ; the geostrategic importance of water supply (Mr Deva, ECR, UK) ; the importance of democratic management of water resources (Mr Berman, S&D, NL); the importance of the Aarhus Convention in guaranteeing transparency and access to environmental information for local communities as well as a rights-based approach to development policy (Ms Hautala, Greens/EFA, FI).
Mr Rinaldi (ALDE, IT) summed up the discussion by highlighting that water issues were very complex and included such issues as diverse as climate change, conflict prevention and international trade. He stressed that the 'ownership' of water resources would have even more wide-ranging political implications in the future."

DR Congo: Violence heightens cholera threat
The rebel capture of the town of Rutshuru in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo forced the suspension of efforts to combat a deadly cholera outbreak.
World Vision staff evacuated from the region, and projects to counter cholera have been temporarily halted, including the rehabilitation of water points, hygiene training, water purification, and latrine construction.
Mickael Le Paih, head of mission for Doctors Without Borders, says that fighting in the region is preventing the sick getting treatment for cholera.
“Some roads are blocked or unsafe, and it is difficult for people to access health facilities,” he says.
Lilian Kamonjo, World Vision’s acting operations manager for the Congo, says World Vision is anxious to secure security clearance to return to the area.
“People are in dire need of assistance, and we need to get in there as soon as possible to provide it,” she says. The organisation expects to resume working in the area in the next few weeks.
Meanwhile, Goma has seen a build up of government and U.N. troops in response to the insecurity in North Kivu.
The rebel soldiers took up arms in April after defecting from the armed forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, complaining of poor conditions.
They named themselves M23 after a failed peace agreement that was signed three years ago on March 23.
Robert Kisyula, World Vision's national director for the Congo, says fighting between armed groups in eastern Congo is exacerbating humanitarian needs, particularly among the 2 million civilians forced to flee their homes.
“The humanitarian situation will be enormous this year without a greater funding commitment to meet the planned and unplanned needs,” he says.
With reporting by Lawrence Mtimaunenenji, a World Vision regional communications officer based in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

(CBS) – On the island of Phuket, a bridesmaid got a big surprise when an elephant reached his trunk around her neck and put his mouth on her head and torso.
Maybe it wanted a kiss?
The bridesmaid seemed to walk away unharmed.
“She wasn’t injured. It just licked her face and breathed down her throat. She just got this horrible elephant breath in her lungs,” said cinematographer Abraham Joffe, who captured footage of the event, per News.com.au. “Everyone was laughing. She was a bit shaken up.”


text: Reward systems are central to the human resource management because it attracts talented individuals, motivate them and retain those that have a better fit with the organization. Organizations need to review their systems in order to improve employee motivation, increase performance and stay competitive. The objective of this paper is to examine the effect of intrinsic reward on employee performance. It additionally reviewed other research findings in the range of intrinsic reward systems. It employed Victor Vroom’s Expectancy theory to investigate the effects of intrinsic factors on employee’s performance. This paper concludes that intrinsic reward system plays an essential role in motivating workers to perform innovatively and remain committed to the growth of the organization and recommends that organization should implement intrinsic reward package that will continue to enhance the motivational spirit of the employees such that it will make the work environment more challenging and interesting because it leads to better employees’ performance which in turn results in organization performance.

I’ve decided not to reinvent the wheel and just show you what Sweet and Crumby has got for the upcoming big holiday. I hope this list gives you inspiration for your Thanksgiving menu.
A Sweet and Crumby Instant Replay because sometimes Life happens.
Have you ever fallen…
crazily in love?
down, way down, with no glimpse of the sky?
literally, into a mud puddle, or down a flight of stairs or simply between the cracks?…
This devastatingly rich, chocolate cake, too, has fallen, but it was designed to fall. Cakes are one of those few things that can be meant to fall. Unlike people, this cake falls perfectly into a rich and soulful plate of splendor. Continue Reading →
Think of this beautifully orange, and poppy spiked carrot cake, dripping with honey and cream cheese glaze as a life saver—those little ring thingies that you toss to someone that has gone over board so you can pull them in, not the candies. I basically threw it to myself, to slow down my life, to bring myself in the moment.
Few things are perfect but these things come to mind:
Black Cocoa Powder which was used in these dark, dark, moist and chocolatey malted cupcakes.
Calorie FREE chocolate malted cupcakes which these are NOT…one can certainly dream can’t she?
And my daughter’s smile when opening her fifteenth birthday present which was a first edition copy of her favorite book with author’s signature.
My words are few today because life is going at its usual lightning speed right now. So what’s new? But life is good and birthdays are super good. And watching your daughter open presents and having your husband make her dreams come true are all beautiful things. He was the mastermind behind finding a signed first edition of Night Circus and surprising her with it yesterday morning. Continue Reading →
I apologize for the re-runs, and I do have some delectable Chocolate Malt Cupcakes sitting in my fridge waiting patiently for their photo shoot, but sometimes life just comes first. So enjoy this one until they get their time in the spotlight. Take care!
Lemonade is refreshing, yes, but lemon cake is memorable…especially this one. This lemon cake is NOT the syrup-y sweet kind that tastes like a lemon lollipop. This one is tart, blooming with hints of rosemary and the lightest, almost translucent, flavor of olive oil. The texture is exquisite. It’s full and solid, yet also soft and moist.
I’m in a lemon phase. Maybe it’s because it had been so cold last month, and I am now basking in the warm weather here in sunny So. Cal, or maybe it’s because of the book I have just finished reading, The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake.
Since April Fool’s Day is today, I thought I would repost this since it is a doozy, tastes YUM and will definitely fool anyone you serve them to. Make sure to stop by your local fast food joint and ask if you can take one of the little ketchup cups when you buy a soda or something, it really helps with the whole look of the fake fries. Happy fooling! —Love, Geni
I can’t do anything normally, the obvious way, the “exactly according to the recipe” way. Sometimes it works for me and sometimes it doesn’t. Today it worked; really, really worked.
Are you a glass half full or glass half empty kind of person? I have to admit that I, like Darth Vader, naturally swing to the darker side, BUT knowing my sinister ways, I try very hard to make a conscious decision to look at the bright side.
I guess my New Year’s resolution could be to blog more, write fresh posts and become the next latest and greatest thing on the blogosphere, but that’s just not gonna happen. I am totally a blog when I feel like it kind of girl and lately I just haven’t felt it. I’m sure I’ll get in the mood sometime soon…but until then, I have a New Year’s Eve or Day Round Up, if you need some ideas.
These little tartlets are filled with brie, a sauteed apple compote and a touch of honey. They are the world’s easiest and fastest eaten appetizer, and you can choose to make them with the slummin’ it Crescent Roll dough or fancy it up a bit with pie crust (frozen or homemade)…either way, it is a guaranteed HIT!
I was sixteen and running late for my first date with a boy whom I really liked and I made the cataclysmic mistake of telling my dad to “entertain” him for a few minutes. After I sprayed my last bit of Aqua Net onto my two inch high bangs, glossed over my lips and slipped on my “pumps”, I walked into our family room to find my dad, six foot three inches tall, and my date tap dancing on our wood floors while my dad whistled and sang, “I’m a Yankee Doodle Dandy.”
It seems I just can’t get into the swing of things as Fall baking and cooking should be starting to be ushered in. I love Fall…more than any other season and the food that comes with it. But when it’s been in the 100 degree temps on and off for the last four weeks, I simply can’t accept that Fall is near.
So here are some good ol’ apple-y Fall favorites for you to peruse while I try to muster up some motivation to make something other than salad.
My Cinnamon Apple Waffles are a fabulous way to start the day. They are crispy, lightly spiced, a little sweet and just the right thing to get you in the Fall spirit even if I am not.

What they say:
Rusk & Rusk have seemingly been dominating meat in Glasgow with their Hutchesons and The Butchershop restaurant names, and this November promises an even bigger venture for the team. Heading to 80 Miller Street, The Spanish Butcher is set to be a 100 strong restaurant with cocktail and wine bar that's set to swell the city with Spanish and Mediterranean flavours in the shape of Galician beef and Spanish wines.
What we say:
Vegetarians may be a clan that are ever on the rise in Glasgow, but seemingly so are meat restaurants in the city. Considering their already impassioned infamy in the meat dining market, it looks as though Rusk & Rusk could be onto a new restaurant winner that's set to be styled on sophisticated New York eateries.

The intelligence of this design is in the clever use of clean fixed finishes, complimented by bold accessories and color. The neutral shaker cabinetry could be at home in any house. The black granite is a crisp contrast to the blonde maple wood. The glass counter top, the contemporary light fixture and bold paint color are what bring that electric spark into this room.

NATO announced the start of official talks, which will continue for two days in Brussels, for the accession of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia to NATO, where it will be agreed on the military and legal aspects.[/ltr]
[ltr]"The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia took an important step on its accession path to NATO on Thursday, 18 October 2018, with the start of the two-day formal accession talks," said a press release on Thursday. NATO headquarters in Brussels ".
"The formal accession talks address the detailed aspects of membership, including political, military and legal issues," the statement said.
According to the statement, the talks will be chaired by Assistant Secretary General for Political Affairs and Security Policy, Alejandro Alvarez Gonzalez, who met with Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Radmila Cherinka Jankowska and the delegation from Skopje at NATO headquarters.
On June 17, the Greek government signed an agreement with the Republic of Macedonia.
This agreement is a solution to the many years of dispute over the name of the Republic of Macedonia.
Under the agreement, the Republic of Macedonia is called "Northern Macedonia".
However, this has raised criticism both in Greece and in Macedonia itself.
A referendum was held in Macedonia on accession to the European Union and NATO after the signing of the agreement between the Republic of Macedonia and the Greek Republic.
According to the results of this referendum, announced by the State Committee for Elections, the number of participants in this referendum slightly more than 650 thousand people. This is equivalent to only 36.91 per cent of the total number of voters. The number of participants who expressed support for joining the European Union and NATO 90 per cent of those who participated in the referendum.
The process of Macedonia's accession began in July, after an invitation from the allies at the Brussels summit of Macedonia to join NATO. At the last meeting of NATO defense ministers, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said that once all the constitutional amendments to the new name were finalized, both parties would be able to sign the accession protocol.
The country worked closely with NATO and joined the Partnership for Peace program in 1995. For many years, Macedonia has provided valuable support for NATO-led operations and missions in Afghanistan and Kosovo. [/ltr]

As a retired sportswriter who bleeds baseball Red and could steal second base before I was able to walk to first, I was recently deep into the internet researching the history and origins of the game when I stumbled on a fact that had somehow escaped my attention as a young writer: “The Perfect Season.”
Now, baseball is no stranger to perfection with perfect games, perfect plays, perfect weather and perfect serendipity such as the Chicago Cubs winning their first World Series since 1908 to produce the perfect ending to the 2016 season.
But a “Perfect Season?” I, personally, had never heard of such a thing, other than Don Shula’s 1972 Miami Dolphins, and almost feel embarrassed to admit it. Yet here are the undisputed facts of the matter:
Cincinnati Red Stockings
Year W L T
1867 17 1 0
1868 36 7 0
1869* 65 0 0
1870* 67 6 1
And here are the names of the 10 men who did it, the first professional baseball players in history and the only ones to complete a full season without a loss:
Asa Brainard, Pitcher
Doug Allison, Catcher
Charlie Gould, First Base
Charlie Sweasy, Second Base
Fred Waterman, Third Base
George Wright, Shortstop
Andy Leonard, Left Field
Harry Wright, Centre Field/Manager
Cal McVey, Right Field
Dick Hurley, Substitute
The stars of the team were the Wright brothers – and not Wilbur and Orville. Harry was the manager who also played centre field and his brother, George, was the best hitter and fielder.
Only one player, first baseman Charlie Gould, was actually from Cincinnati. The others were from the east, most from the corridor between Washington, DC and Troy, NY, which was considered the hotbed of baseball in those days. They were enticed to the banks of the distant Ohio River, far across the Allegheny Mountains, by the lure of money and the opportunity to be paid to play the game they all loved and had always played for nothing.
Of course, they were an All-Star team of sorts, playing against amateurs – so if any team was ever going to go undefeated it would be them. But it still sounds unfathomable to me to win 81 games in a row and most of them by lopsided scores. If there had been a World Series in 1869, nobody would have played them.
But reality set in after the 1870 season and the team went broke, folded and broke up. The Wrights and two others, Gould and McVey, went to Boston as pros and started the Boston Red Stockings and the others, Brainard, Allison, Sweasy, Waterman and Leonard to DC and the Washington Olympics for the new all professional league called the National Association.
In 1872, Leonard jumped to Boston to rejoin the Wrights, McVey and Gould for the first of four consecutive NA titles making the Boston Red Stockings the first powerhouse in pro baseball. They won six of seven titles with Harry a non-playing manager in 1877 and 1878, the last two.
The Red Stockings, beginning business with half of the Cincinnati team, followed the winning Wright tradition and spread it to Boston. Eventually the Red Stockings adopted the name Boston Braves. That club is now based in Atlanta and still retains red as one of its uniform colours. The Boston Red Sox, established in 1901, adopted their version of the old nickname in 1908.
Although the Cincinnati Reds website tries to claim the Red Stockings as their own, in fact the heart and soul of that incredible perfect season and 81 game winning streak over two seasons, belonged to Boston and now Atlanta.
On Feb. 2, 1876, the National League was formed in New York City with Cincinnati and the Reds as a charter member. The other cities in the league were Chicago, Boston, St. Louis, Hartford, Louisville, New York and Philadelphia.
But it was a brief honeymoon. On Oct. 8, 1880 Cincinnati was expelled from the NL, due in part to its refusal to stop renting out their ballpark on Sundays and to cease selling beer during games. They didn’t rejoin the league again until 1888.
Whether Cincinnati, Boston or Atlanta deserves the credit for baseball’s most unbreakable record including the only perfect season in baseball history, it’s just another stat to think about as we begin another historical season with something that sounded impossible a year ago and for most of the 20th century: “The defending World Series Champions, the beloved Cubbies of Chicago.”

So now that cinco de mustache is officially over around the globe, I will unveil my final product.
the result of 36 days of not shaving my lip.
Slightly unimpressive to some, but to the few participants that stayed strong for the whole month, showing their appreciation for Mexican culture and supporting those of us who haven’t had taco bell for 4 months; I am part of a brotherhood. It looks killer in the sun light. Probably 90% of everyone who started growing mustaches at the beginning of April quit for the dumbest reasons ever. They would say, “it was so gay!” I would hear, “doi doi doi.” They would say, “I looked like an idiot!” I would hear, “I’m afraid I won’t attract any girls with it.” The excuses were abundant and the mustaches became sparse. Pretty much the only people who went the whole time without shaving had pretty crappy mustaches(besides me of course). That’s what made it so awesome. We were kindred spirits.
Let’s move on
I got a new hobby. One my mother and sister embraced long ago.
I freakin’ crocheted a beanie. Well I crocheted the majority of a beanie……..then I ran out of yarn. It’s so sweet though, I can buy yarn of any texture and color and crochet the raddest beanie ever and make some sweet dough. Me and a couple other guys started and we’re thinking about going big with this. We want to make tags and logos and everything to put on the bad boys. I can’t say much about it, we’re still in the early phases of planning.

Seize the Whiskey ran a very nice third in her race at Parx on Tuesday chasing a 3-5 gate to wire logical winner. Breaking from post 7 Seize the Whiskey stalked close up early on the outside, commenced her bid on the turn, loomed in upper stretch, dug in gamely, then weakened late and lost second at the wire.
We spoke with trainer Steve Klesaris after the race and Steve said, “She ran a very big race, bigger than it looks on paper. She chased a very talented horse and held her own every step of the way, all against older horses. This was a bit step up for her.”
We also spoke with Hibiscus Stables CEO Mike Oliveto after the race. Mike said, “She ran an extremely professional race today. Sometimes horses, especially filles, don’t show their best stuff until they get a little older. Today was a nice step in the right direction for her.”
Seize the Whiskey earned $2,200 for Tuesday’s third place finish.
We’ll see how Seize the Whiskey comes out of the race and point her accordingly.
Seize the Whiskey breezed on Saturday working 4 furlongs in 49.49 over the Belmont Park training track. That work was 58th of 115 at the distance.
We spoke with trainer Steve Klesaris after the breeze. Steve said, “She worked OK this morning. She’s ready to go for her next start. I’m looking at race for her a week from Sunday.”
Steve will keep Seize the Whiskey fresh as he prepares her for her next race which could be the $30,000 Maiden Claiming race going 6 1/2 furlongs at Aqueduct on November 14.

Zeroes – a new superhero series from Scott Westerfeld, Margo Lanagan & Deborah Biancotti!
We are super excited to announce that later this year we’ll be publishing an incredible new trilogy Zeroes, written by the talented trio of Scott Westerfeld, Margo Lanagan & Deborah Biancotti!
The series takes a fresh look at superheroes following six characters, all with special abilities, born in the year 2000 in California who together make up the self-named Zeroes. Their abilities make them anything but heroes – until a high-stakes crisis changes everything.
We’ve spent the last two years coming up with these characters, crafting what we hope is a totally new take on superpowers and we’re excited to finally unleash Zeroes on the world.
Excited to say the least. Our Children’s & Young Adult Publishing Director, Eva says of the trilogy:
A seamless and brilliant collaboration by three incredibly talented authors. It’s a hugely compelling superhero story with terrifically complex characters, layered with intrigue, suspense, danger and page-turning action.
And here’s what some of our other staff have to say about Zeroes:
What a brilliant story – I cannot wait to start recommending it to everyone I know! Absolutely compulsive reading – this is YA fiction at its best!
What a brilliantly plotted and thrillingly paced book! It drew me in completely because of the unique nature of the characters’ skills. Scott, Margo and Deb have outdone themselves!
This was incredible – the story was so filmic and the characters so believable that I could see it all playing out as though I was watching a movie. When I was forced to put the manuscript down (to sleep, work – you know, all those annoying interruptions to reading!) my head was still full of the story and I was constantly wondering what was going to happen next! Great superpowers, very realistic characters – can’t wait to read more in this series.
About the authors – Scott Westerfeld, Margo Lanagan and Deborah Biancotti
Scott Westerfeld is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Uglies and Leviathan trilogies and his latest solo novel is Afterworlds.
Margo Lanagan has won four World Fantasy Awards for her short stories and for her novels Tender Morsels and Sea Hearts, with work shortlisted in the Hugo and Nebula awards and longlisted in the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award and for the Carnegie Medal.
Deborah Biancotti has published two short story collections. Her Aurealis-shortlisted Bad Power explored ordinary people discovering their superpowers.
All three authors live in Sydney, where they meet weekly at a pub to keep the Zeroes series on track and squabble about characters’ motivations. Margo Lanagan has explained a little on how the collaboration works:
There are six characters, so we each draft for two characters’ viewpoints and then poke and prod at each other’s chapters to make them all fit together. So far, there have been no assaults. Raised voices, because we’re all pretty passionate and opinionated. And more tears of laughter than solo writing usually gives rise to.
Zeroes will be published in October 2015, and we hope you’ll all be looking forward to it as much as us – when you take three superb authors, writing six great characters with superhero powers (or not), you’ll be getting not one but three great books to look forward to over the next three years.

Indonesia is in the grip of a smoking epidemic with the proportion of child smokers rising dramatically. Jonathan Miller reports for Channel 4 News ahead of his investigation for Unreported World.
The health minister of Indonesia, the world’s fastest growing cigarette market, has pledged to sign a United Nations treaty developed in response to what the UN’s World Health Organisation has branded “the globalisation of the tobacco epidemic.”
Dr Nafsiah Mboi’s intention to sign the agreement will put her at loggerheads with Indonesia‘s powerful tobacco industry, a backbone of the national economy which provides millions of jobs.
In advance of a meeting of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, scheduled to be held in the South Korean capital, Seoul, next week, the minister said an alarming increase in the number of child smokers in Indonesia has galvanised her determination to see the treaty signed.
Indonesia is among a tiny handful of countries, which include North Korea and Zimbabwe, not to have signed the UN tobacco control convention, which greatly restricts advertising, promotion and sponsorship of tobacco products and bans sales of cigarettes to minors.
Speaking to Channel 4’s Unreported World, Dr Mboi said the power of the tobacco lobby in Indonesia had, in the past, made it politically difficult to sign up to the UN agreement.
“A lot of people in the government said ‘we should not stop this because of the revenues. We’ve got the revenues from the tobacco tax, we are providing… employment for so many million people.'”
Asked whether her decision to take on the industry, given its importance to the Indonesian economy, would not make her unpopular, she replied: “So what? People who started smoking between five and nine years of age… has increased seven-fold. It’s a sin. Why are they protecting the tobacco industry when they know that so many young kids become the victims.”
More than two-in-three Indonesian adult males smoke. There are estimated to be around 90 million smokers in a country of 238 million people. The proportion of children who regularly smoke is rising and one teenager in four is a regular smoker before they turn 16.
Respiratory specialists consider this to be a health timebomb.
The Channel 4 team, whose documentary will be screened tonight at 7.30pm, filmed many children who were hooked on cigarettes up to four times the strength of the strongest legally on sale in Britain.
Many said they were drawn to the habit by ubiquitous advertising, particularly television advertisements – which would be banned were Indonesia to sign up to the UN tobacco control protocol.
Of all the TV ads, the best known are those for Djarum Super. They are known as “My Life, My Adventure,” a big-budget production, which sets out to associate the brand with the magnificence of Indonesia’s most rugged scenery. It features a health warning at the end: 12 frames (half a second) long.
Cigarette companies sponsor rock concerts, jazz festivals and sporting events – including football, badminton, cycling and adventure sports. Last year, tobacco companies spent £142m advertising in Indonesia.
Channel 4's Unreported World: Indonesia's Tobacco Children
The Indonesian cabinet is reportedly split on the issue of whether to sign because the industry is a mainstay of the national economy. The taxation of tobacco companies contributes 10 per cent of national revenue, making it as crucial to Indonesia as the financial sector is to Britain. It also provides around 10 million jobs, directly and indirectly.
Nine out of ten Indonesian smokers smoke “kreteks” – strong, clove-flavoured cigarettes, the aroma of which infuses the entire archipelago. In recent years, western cigarette giants Philip Morris (the makers of Marlboro) and British American Tobacco have bought into the Indonesian kretek market.
In 2005, Philip Morris International bought a controlling share of a leading Indonesian tobacco firm, Sampoerna, for US$5-billion. Four years later, BAT bought Indonesia’s fourth largest cigarette company, Bentoel, for US$494m.
A senior insider from the industry, who met the Channel 4 team in Jakarta, said the big foreign firms were now “milking a cash cow”.
Children are not supposed to be working. Children are suppose to go to school, study and play. Instead, they work in an industry which produces cigarettes.
In September this year, the chief financial officer of Philip Morris International told an international conference that his firm’s “excellent results” in Asia – which were, he said, “driven in particular by Indonesia” had “more than offset a substantial decline in the EU region.”
A short distance from a village in which the Channel 4 team filmed a six-year-old smoker – who has recently cut back from smoking 20-a-day – children between 11 and 12 years of age were filmed picking and sorting tobacco which was supplied to Bentoel, the BAT subsidiary, and other companies.
“Child labour in the tobacco industry is dangerous work,” said Priyono Adi Nugroho, of Indonesia’s Child Protection Institute. “Children are not supposed to be working. Children are suppose to go to school, study and play. Instead, they work in an industry which produces cigarettes. Then they start smoking themselves and see it as nothing out of the ordinary.”
In a statement to Channel 4, BAT said it took a strong stance against child labour and always encouraged its respresentatives to tell farmers what its corporate policy was on child labour. BAT’s Bentoel Group said it did not employ any child labour, either directly or indirectly and said it was “actively involved in programmes to prevent the exploitative use of child labour in leaf growing areas.”
Jonathan Miller’s documentary Indonesia’s Tobacco Children will be shown on Unreported World, after Channel 4 News tonight at 7.30pm.

In September 1998, the French swimmer Ben Lecomte became the first swimmer to cross the Atlantic Ocean unaided. The swimmer took 78 days to cross the Atlantic, swimming for 6 to 8 hours each day. Lecomte completed the swim using an ocean device consisting of a 25 ft electromagnetic field which protected him from sharks and was followed closely by a support boat. He stopped for one week part way through the swim to rest for a week at the Azores mid-Atlantic after suffering from exhaustion, but defenders say it would have been impossible for the human body to stay in the water for 78 days straight and claim his record breaking title was well deserved.
Swimming was part of the first modern Olympic games, hosted in Athens in 1896. Alfred Hajos from Hungry was the first man to win the 100m freestyle event, completing the swim in 1:20.20 32 seconds slower than the current British world record.
Eric the Eel
Unlike most famous swimmers, Eric Moussambani, nicknamed Eric the Eel by a journalist for The Times newspaper, won a place in the spotlight for being the slowest swimmer to enter the Olympics. Eric failed to meet the qualifying time for the Olympics in 2000 but he was allowed in after winning a place in a ‘wild card draw’ which aimed to enable developing countries to enter the competition that do not have the necessary training facilities. Eric started swimming only 8 months before the competition and practiced in a 20 m pool. Unsurprisingly his time was twice the time of his fastest competitors, finishing the 100m freestyle race in 1:52.72.

Have you ever confused a dream with life? Or stolen something when you have the cash? Have you ever been blue? Or thought your train was moving while sitting still? Maybe I was just crazy. Maybe it was the ‘60’s. Or maybe I was just a girl…interrupted. ~Susanna Kayson (Girl, Interrupted)
There is a scene in the movie, Girl, Interrupted (which I watched for the first time a few days ago) that really hit home with me. Almost to the point where it hurt. The main character, Susanna Kayson (diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder), is meeting with the insightful Dr. Wick, her psychiatrist at the mental institution in which she is staying. Dr. Wick asks Susanna if she is disappointed that she has come to a plateau in her recovery…
Susannah (S): I’m ambivalent. In fact, that’s my new favorite word.
Dr. Wick (DW): Do you know what that means, ambivalence?
S: I don’t care. It means, “I don’t care.”
DW: On the contrary, Susanna. Ambivalence suggests strong feelings in opposition. The prefix, as in ambidextrous, means “both.” The rest of it, in Latin, means “vigor.” The word suggests that you are torn between two opposing courses of action. Will I stay or will I go? Am I sane or am I crazy?
S: Those aren’t courses of action.
DW: They can be dear, for some. What world is this? What kingdom? What shores of what worlds? It’s a very big question you’re faced with, Susanna. The choice of your life. How much will you indulge in your flaws? What are your flaws? Are they flaws? If you embrace them, will you commit yourself to hospital for life? Big questions, big decisions. Not surprising you profess carelessness about them.
This near-perfectly expresses the dichotomy of thought I struggle with myself. These questions of who am I, really? Am I crazy? Sane? Normal? Strange? What is the real me? The girl that can function in society, is responsible, respectful, dutiful, thoughtful, hard-working, productive, even at some level… healthy? Or the girl that is careless, reckless, anti-establishment, flippant, I-don’t-give-a-crap-what-you-think, spontaneous, quirky, rebellious against authority, even downright deviant? The girl who holds doors open for people behind her, smiles, says please and thank you, crosses her t’s and dots her i’s, looks nice and neat, and keeps her room tidy? Or the girl who walks around with a “don’t-mess-with-me-if-you-want-to-live” sign on her forehead, inky black hair and black nailpolish, studded jewelry, speaking her mind loudly, scribbling lines of poetry in permanent ink on public buildings and restroom walls (ya, that’s pretty much as “delinquent” as I got), pretending not to care what others think but really caring very deeply to the point of changing her personality several times a day, with a “leave me alone” vibe and a complete disregard for societal mores? The girl who goes to work, to school, to church, spends time with family, and basks in the beauty of the sunlight? Or the girl who is only alive at night and a mere zombie during the day, is in and out of mental institutions, skips out of therapy sessions, and listens to angry music? The girl who eats her vegetables and exercises moderately, cares for her body, and respects herself? Or the girl who pours toxins into her body, abuses laxatives and diuretics, refuses to eat, or eats to the point of throwing up, exercises two hours a day, cuts, overdoses on meds, and does everything she can think of to destroy herself? Am I crazy? Or am I sane?
What about my personality traits and activities that don’t fit neatly into either category, that don’t lend themselves to the labels of “good” or “bad,” “healthy” or “unhealthy?” And by these I mean… Creativity that ebbs and flows with my ever-changing moods. Late nights of writing poetry under the covers with a flashlight. Unconventional ways of seeing the world. Unique quirks and habits. Random bursts of energy and spontaneity. Ability to know who people are and what their lives are like upon merely glancing at them. The gift of seeing people’s auras. Knowing that every person on earth has their own musical chord that uniquely expresses the color of their soul. The ability to feel immense pain, but also breathtaking joy. Melancholy brooding or, on the flip side, a vivid awareness of my surroundings, both giving birth to new ideas, new expressions, even new worlds. An acute musical sensitivity. Any of these things I can use for good or for ill. To use to inspire, to lift, to bring light into the world and to others. To create beauty. Or… To manipulate, to gain power over others, to plunge myself into the depths of darkness. With them I can soar through the pristine heavens, or delve into the murkiness of the underworld.
Now this, this is the challenge. To identify the flaws. Are they flaws? And shall I indulge them? Would doing so condemn me to a life in and out of hospitals, on endless combinations of medications? To an emaciated body covered with scars? A broken life of guilt and shame? Ever sliding down and further down that slippery slope leading to complete insanity?
Identify. Challenge. Root out. Think. Discover. Dig down. Understand. Enlighten. Flaws… those things that hurt myself and others. Healthy behaviors… those things that preserve my dignity and my physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual well-being while respecting the rights and feelings of others. And those things that don’t necessarily fit into either category? Those neutral gifts and attributes that can be used to help or hinder, heal or hurt? Creative flow, artistic passion, intuitiveness, quirkiness, originality, even some measure of oddness? These things are part of me… And will never go away…. I hope.
I asked my therapist about this today. My concern that becoming “healthy” would in some way rob me of the ability to feel deeply, to experience passion… That it would take away my vibrant imagination, my creativity, my ability to escape into a world all my own, my susceptibility to flashes of inspiration. I told her that I am most creative when I am depressed or “brooding,” or when I feel strangely “outside myself.” My pain – and sometimes, even my fits of elation – give birth to novel combinations of words and fantastic mental images, to a world of ghosts and of strangeness, of dreams and of nightmares, a world where the line between fantasy and reality is blurred. “I don’t want to give that up,” I said. “It’s part of me. Sometimes it’s all I’ve got.”
She told me that I already had the answer. “It’s part of me.” Those things that make me unique – that sometimes mingle, sometimes clash, to create my own complex personality and style of thinking, of expressing, of living – are essential aspects of who I am and will remain whether I am emotionally/ psychologically/ physically healthy or not. “You will just have to search to find that same inspiration from a different source other than your pain and depression, but the artist in you will never die.” She asked if she could read some of my poems. I can’t wait to show them to her next week. Of all the therapists I’ve had, she is the first to ever express such interest in my writing and my music. I’ve had doctors and therapists be interested in my I.Q., in my acting experience, even in my childhood imaginary friends… but never this. I left today feeling validated and important. I felt like a person. Not just a sick little girl.
“Big questions. Big decisions.” Yes, yes they are. Am I finding the answers? Slowly. Carefully. Painfully. Line upon line. Precept upon precept. Here a little. There a little.
Ambivalent still? A bit. Less ambivalent than I used to be? Much so.
Will I ever be truly “normal”? I don’t know. I don’t know if I want to be.
But then… is anyone?

“I’m Not in Love” is a song written by Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman of the English group 10cc, from the album The Original Soundtrack.
The song on the b-side “Good News” also appeared as a bonus track on the Japanese version of the album. The lyric reveals a narrator in denial about the song’s ostensible romantic theme. He repeats several times “I’m not in love”, but at the end of the song he realises that he is deceiving himself. The song made its debut on the Hot 100 on 17 May 1975 at #84, and climbed to #2 from 26 July – 9 August 1975.
The song is heard in the films Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason and Guardians of the Galaxy and appears on the soundtrack for the video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.

I’m glad I decided to read this book. It was a refreshing change from all the vampires, werewolves and witches. The story was really interesting. I also loved the style of writing, it was not too detailed and not too short either but I could do without some repetitions. I also liked the main 3 characters: Jacinda, Will and Cassian.
What I didn’t like was the usual over the top romance. I mean there’s always the constant reminder of how stronger she feels when Will is around or how his kisses are the thing that made her didn’t want to leave him. That made it too Twilight-ish for my taste & made me skip most of those moments.
When it comes to Jacinda, I wish she was written with more strength. And I wish we knew more of her history back in the Pride. Now that I think about it, we’ve only been given some of what the Pride is actually is. I’d like to see that more explored in the next book. As for Will, I understand that Jordan wanted to end things with a cliffhanger but I wasn’t impressed by how Will’s secret was delayed (though I know most of you guessed it right away).
Final Verdict: As much as refreshing this story is, yet it has some flaws. However, the story left me wanting to know more, so I’ll def. check out the next book ASAP.

Oh Colorado, you beautiful thing!
Sunday was a funday at Medano Pass! Its a Jeep trail just outside of Westcliffe which will take you through to the sand dunes! (I'm a Colorado native, and have never been to the dunes).
So I packed the essentials:
- A Gas Station Sandwich
- Jalapeno Chips
- Green Tea
- Moose (My Dog)
- My Step Mom (Essential Plus 1)
- A Snowboard (To shred the sand, duh).
Westcliffe is a beautiful drive in the first place, and it only got better. Some friends from the gym lead the way, and we all hoped out of the Jeep to get them ready for a little off roadin. The trail was beautiful, filled with mud holes, puddles, and running streams! At one point one of the stream was nearly up to my driver side window! So much fun. What's a Jeep with out getting it dirty anyway? The trail took about 2 hours both ways. We stopped for lunch, and pictures, and of course had to pull over for some other adventurers out on the beautiful day. Unfortunately, when we were in the last stretch to make it out to the Sand Dunes, it was closed off due to the road washing out because of all of the rain. So, still no crossing off the sand dunes on my places to go (sigh).
This trail was easy for beginners, and I definitely recommend to give it a visit. The mountains are so green! Thank goodness for all this rain. NO FOREST FIRES!!
I'll be returning to this trail in a few weeks to take advantage of all the beautiful changing leaves! Maybe even spend a night in the designated camping spots. . . depending on if the mosquitos are as JURASSIC-LY LARGE as they were yesterday.

Great flavor. These are sinkers, and my family have always made floaters, so I have this idea in my mind that floaters are better. As sinkers go, these are great - not dense, great tender texture. So, did some research online about how to make floaters, intending to turn these pumped up flavored matzo balls into floaters. Lots of advice out there: some claim the secret to floaters is beating the egg whites separately then folding into the batter, some claim the soda water does it, some say just don't remove the lid from the pan when they are cooking. The most plausible (to me) seems to be the addition of baking powder, so next time I'll try that, and I'll let you know how it goes. If you are concerned about baking powder being kosher, check out online resources, there are solutions out there that work. One cook claims that the matzo ball mix contains baking powder, so there must be a way to keep kosher and use it. For me, I'll go for flavor and not worry about it.
My absolute favorite matzoh balls ever. So easy to make. I like a ton of flavor, so I added a few more scallions and more dill. I would suggest also adding salt. They were perfect and went great with the parsnip celery soup.
My first attempt at making matzo balls ever and they were a hit! I would use a little less DILL. delicious!
Tastes wonderful with the soup. I skipped the dill and the matza balls were still very flavorful.
Wow - best matzo balls any of us had tasted. Light and fluffy and very flavorful. I skipped the ginger and only had time to let sit in the fridge for about 2 hours, but they were fabulous nonetheless. My grandmother would have been proud.
Unfortunately, I had no seltzer of club soda on hand, and I didn't feel like running out to the store at 5 am, so I substituted two tablespoons of Diet Coke, and they still came out perfect! The homemade chicken noodle soup I added them to (6 Qts!), was gone by the end of the dinner! Everyone said they were by far, the best matzo balls they had ever tasted. :) Make these, you won't be disappointed!
substituted green garlic for the scallion and omitted the dill, great result.
This will be the fourth year that I've made these for passover. They are the most tender, savory matzo balls. The addition of dill and green onion sets these apart from regular matzo balls.
I just made these last night for Passover seder and they were a big hit. Definitely a nice tist on the traditional version!
My entire family loves these, even the 2 year old. I've substituted dried dill but prefer the fresh. I've also used chopped yellow onion. This was my first time making matzo balls and it's a world class taste.
